Early thromboprophylaxis, especially when identifiable risk factors are present, can improve VTE prevention without changing major bleeding rates. Additionally, we could not conclude whether extended prophylaxis affects VTE incidence, although it seemed to have no effect on major bleeding. Finally, we determined that thromboprophylaxis in the lower extremity trauma population is questionable without the presence of underlying risk factors.Blastomycosis is a rare condition affecting specific endemic areas in North America. Blastomycosis is characterized primarily as a pulmonary disease but can disseminate to affect other organ systems. Osteomyelitis due to disseminated blastomycosis is a rare condition with limited functional reconstructive options in a young adult. We present a rare case with prolonged antifungal therapy and staged reconstruction with a total talus prosthesis. The Interactive Clinical Anatomy and Radiology Utilization Simulator (ICARUS) was created in 2012 as a novel simulation program with 25 peer reviewed electronic modules combining simulated patient encounters, American College of Radiology appropriateness criteria, radiologic anatomy, and basic imaging interpretation and patient safety topics. ICARUS integrates a gaming approach to improve student engagement. ICARUS modules have been used in the undergraduate medical curriculum at the lead author's institution since its pilot in 2012. Since completion of the full complement of 25 modules, modules have been used in the radiology clerkship (2012- 2015), in the integrated longitudinal curriculum (2015-present), and in various radiology electives (2015-present), including the inaugural virtual radiology electives at all authors' institutions (July 2020-present). Student evaluations were formally solicited in 2014 and again in 2020. During the introductory radiology clerkship in 2014, 107 students were enrolled. Students were assigned 4 ICARUS modules. During the 2-week virtual elective from July-October 2020, 26 students were enrolled. Students were assigned all 25 modules. The majority of survey respondents "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that the modules were interactive, enjoyable, and self-directed, fostered critical thinking, provided practical value, met goals and objectives of the course, and seemed practical to their future practice. ICARUS integrates key educational concepts in radiology with high fidelity simulation of clinical decision support software and PACS simulation image display to create a highly engaging learning environment that most accurately reflects future clinical experiences.

Black radiologists remain significantly underrepresented in the radiology workforce, despite a 1973 plea by Black radiologists of the National Medical Association to increase training programs for minority radiologists. The authors provide a qualitative narrative that highlights the radiology residency programs of three historically Black schools of medicine (HBSOM) in the U.S., their contributions, and lessons learned from their closure. Data from public repositories, interviews, and conversations were conflated to chronicle significant events and establish a timeline during these residency programs' existence. Radiology residencies at Howard University School of Medicine (1945), Meharry Medical College (1949), and Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (1972) were established to train Black doctors to treat communities of color. These programs provided care to underserved and under-resourced areas of the country, where inequitable health care fueled a legacy of poor health outcomes. Thesealth outcom
