Guinea pigs are a commonly used model for laboratory research, as well as being housed in zoological institutions and kept as pets. These animals can develop cardiac disease, and additional diagnostic modalities are needed to help expediently and accurately diagnose it. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a cardiac-specific biomarker associated with myocyte damage. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the utility of a point-of-care (POC) cTnI assay in guinea pigs via cardiac and skeletal...

CONCLUSIONS: Residency programs located in rural tribal healthcare systems in Oklahoma are effective in producing physicians who remain in rural and medical shortage areas. These programs support balanced physician distribution, particularly within tribal healthcare systems, and represent a replicable model for addressing national workforce shortages through location-targeted graduate medical education (GME). Further research is needed to evaluate long-term retention.

CONCLUSIONS: BRI is a useful, potentially cost-effective tool for first responders to assess health and wellness annually and quarterly without clinical equipment.
