ISSUE 80 Sept 2017

Dear All, And here we are, back to school. I hope you all had a very enjoyable summer. A lot of rain this year, but happily, we have been privileged not to have to endure floods or fires, and not suffer too much from global warming. A few weeks ago, the influential 2017 Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities was released, reviewing more than 1,200 universities in the world. The 500 best are published, and this year, McMaster is ranked 66th worldwide and 3rd in Canada behind U of T and UBC, passing McGill by 1 position. This is an excellent result and a great progression as we jumped 17 positions, from 83rd last year, far behind McGill which was 63. Universities are ranked by several indicators of academic or research performance, including alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, highly cited researchers, papers published in Nature and Science, papers indexed in major citation indices, and the per capita academic performance of an institution. We are also among the 100 best in the world according to the Tomes Higher Education World University Ranking, in the top 1 percent out of more than 18,000 universities in the world. So why am I mentioning this great achievement ? Not only because I am proud to work for our institution, but also because we have a new opportunity to raise our profile in collaborating with the new undergraduate Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences Plus (IBEHS+) program launched this year at McMaster.

INS IDE THIS

An important goal of this program is to expose students to the interdisciplinary nature of the Biomedical Engineering field, which integrates biological and medical sciences with engineering and the physical sciences. The Health Solutions Design Projects course cover topics in engineering ethics and professionalism, design and graphics, computation, and materials, with the key assessment being a series of biomedical-related design projects. The first project requires the students to design a custom hip implant, and justify how their design meets the needs of the patient assigned to them. We have an opportunity to help these students with their projects and understand the specifics of imaging. This is the type of collaboration which can lead to more research opportunities and much needed innovation. Collaboration is key for our departments and should be encouraged as much as possible. Join me in wishing a happy retirement to Drs. Ian Doris and Mahn Vu, who left the General site after fulfilling careers of 29 years and 18 years, respectively. Also, I want to bid farewell to Dr. Mehran Midia, who has been such a dedicated interventional radiologist at MUMC for 11 years, and wish him success and happiness in his new endeavours. All The best, David Koff Chair, Department of Radiology, FHS

Residency Training in Canada is in transition. Competency-based medical education (CBME) is an outcomes-based approach to

the design, implementation, assessment and evaluation of a medical education program using an organized framework of

competencies. Many people have trouble distinguishing between CBME and CBD. Many countries are implementing CBME, but

each one is doing it somewhat differently. CBD– Competence by Design—is the Royal College’s version of CBME.

How does it work?

In a CBME system, curriculum is organized around the outcomes expected of a resident, with resident advancement dependent

on having achieved those outcomes. When completing a rotation a resident must become competent in a certain specified list

of required knowledge, skills and procedures (competence based), rather than just “put their time in” on a specified rotation

(time based). This change in focus also places the learner in a more active rather than passive mode for achieving their training

objectives and requirements.

As a specialty training program launches, all newly recruited PGY 1 residents will train under the new design. Current/existing

residents will continue in their traditional time-based format. For radiology, our specialty will begin working with the Royal

College in 2019, developing the tools and designing the required training program changes. By 2021, new residents recruited to

Diagnostic Radiology programs across Canada will enter under this new CBD training scheme.

Interesting new concepts with this training framework include moving the final certification examination early in training, to

facilitate a final training phase dedicated to transition to practice (see diagram). This new way of training comes with its own

descriptors and language. In the coming months more information will be shared to guide faculty, staff and trainees in

understanding this new framework and related concepts.

JURAVINSKI HOSPITAL’S NEW MRI

The JH Diagnostic Imaging Department’s only MRI scanner quenched (loss of magnet superconductivity). It was the only 3 Tesla Magnet MRI scanner within the organization. A plan to replace the MRI was immediately initiated. It was replaced with a new 3 T wide bore MRI. The new magnet provides significant technology and efficiency advancements compared to the current system that was approaching 7 years, including a wide bore, silent technology, scan time reduction, increased image quality and confidence, and an optional second table to further improve efficiency.

Phase.

RESEARCH CORNER

Hamilton Health Science Researchers recently presented the positive results of the COMPASS trial

during the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Barcelona, Spain. The

study of 27,400 people with coronary or peripheral artery disease included patients from 33 countries

including 285 patients from the Hamilton General Hospital Site!

The study showed that the combination of 2.5 mg of rivaroxaban twice daily plus 100 mg of aspirin

once daily was significantly better than only aspirin or only rivaroxaban in preventing heart attacks,

strokes, and death. Rivaroxaban, often known by the brand name Xarelto, is an anticoagulant, aspirin

is an antiplatelet drug, and both are blood thinners. The study also showed that the same drug

combination is superior to aspirin for the risk of losing limbs or severe limb ischemia (limitation of

blood flow to a limb), as well as decreasing cardiovascular events, among patients with peripheral

artery disease (PAD).

The DI staff at HGH played a significant role in this study as 110 CTs were performed!

Congratulations to the HGH staff for helping to contribute these important results.

Did you Know?

September comes from the old Roman word “septem” meaning “seven”, because in the Roman Calendar it was the seventh month. The Romans believed that the month of September was looked after by the god of the fire and forge, Vulcan. Thus, they expected fires, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in this month. The birthstone for September is the sapphire, which is said to reduce inflammation, treat fever, and act as a lucky charm for the person wearing it. The sapphire symbolized intuition, clarity of thought, peacefulness, as well as loyalty and trust. There are 3 traditional flowers for the month of September: the aster, symbolling love, the forget-me-not, representing memories and love, and the morning glory, symbolizing unrequited love.
