In this issue, there are 15 manuscripts, bringing the total published articles in the first half of 2015 to 41. We continue to publish on a two-month frequency. The sources in this issue show evidence of increasing diversification: Reading (our leading contributor), Easton, University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria, St. Louis College of Pharmacy (MO), Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (TX), John T. Mather Memorial Hospital (NY), Yangpu Hospital Tongji University Shanghai (China), and Om Saibaba Memorial Hospital, Kathmandu (Nepal). These sources, domestic and international, reflect the widening reach of JCHIMP and its technology. More than 2000 new readers access the journal each month. As of May 1, 2015, more than 43,000 individuals have accessed the journal since we began publishing 4 years ago. There is a pharmacy school study reviewing hospital records, adding to the literature on the benefit of N-acetylcysteine in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy (1). Four papers involve medical resident education: a pilot study on the benefit of teaching musculoskeletal ultrasound training (2); the benefits of using Multiple Mini Interview format for recruitment (3); a quality improvement project regarding adherence to correct guidelines by residents when treating acute respiratory infections (4); and the importance of faculty development and residency engagement when practicing between principles of High Value Care and defensive medicine (5). Case reports include a renal infarct following treatment for migraine (6); a salmonella-associated mycotic aneurism (7); a case-based review of the literature of the Brugada syndrome (8); cardiac tamponade caused by a seroma, years after a thymectomy for myasthenia gravis (9); Moyamoya disease in a 19-year-old American (10); presyncope in a patient from Shanghai due to non-compaction cardiomyopathy (11); and dramatic ECG images in a case of extraordinary hyperkalemia (12). Two dramatic clinical images are reported: Sister Mary Joseph's nodule secondary to lung cancer abdominal metastases (13) and a case of nummular eczema (14) submitted from Katmandu, Nepal. And finally, a new section is introduced by Lucien J. Cardinal, entitled “Biostatistical Concepts and Topics in Research” (15).
