Background Scholarly activity as a component of residency education is becoming increasingly emphasized by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. “Limited or no evidence of resident or faculty scholarly activity” is a common citation given to family medicine residency programs by the Review Committee for Family Medicine. Objective The objective was to provide a model scholarly activity curriculum that has been successful in improving the quality of graduate medical education in a family medicine residency program, as evidenced by a record of resident academic presentations and publications. Methods We provide a description of the Clinical Scholars Program that has been implemented into the curriculum of the Trident/Medical University of South Carolina Family Medicine Residency Program. Results During the most recent 10-year academic period (2000–2010), a total of 111 residents completed training and participated in the Clinical Scholars Program. This program has produced more than 24 presentations during national and international meetings of medical societies and 15 publications in peer-reviewed medical journals. In addition, many of the projects have been presented during meetings of state and regional medical organizations. Conclusions This paper presents a model curriculum for teaching about scholarship to family medicine residents. The success of this program is evidenced by the numerous presentations and publications by participating residents.

“…It Table 1 -Descriptive measurements of oxygen saturation (%) by finger, nail polish color, and the right hand (without enamel) and the left hand (with enamel). represents a significant advance because it allows for reliable measurements of oxygen saturation, avoiding the discomfort and the risk caused by arterial punctures, as well as quickly identifying situations of hypoxia, facilitating clinical decisions (7)(8)14,17,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) .…”

“…The results of the literature is conflicting, as some studies have concluded that the colored nail polish decreases the SpO2 values in clinically significant percentages, while others found no difference (14,(20)(21)(22)30) .…”

“…The interference in the pulse oximetry depends on the absorption of red and infrared light, resulting in a decrease of 3% to 5% in the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) results (1,(15)(16)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the changes in measurements of pulse oximetry in healthy individuals with nail polish. Methods: Cross sectional study with 80 healthy volunteers. The colors of enamel used to assess oxygen saturation (SpO2) were: coffee with milk, coffee, chocolate, red and plum. These colors were distributed among the finger nails of his left hand. The fingers of the right hand were the controls. Results: The colors red (p = 0.047) and coffee (p = 0.024) showed lower values in SpO2 in comparison to the control. The other colors did not change the measurement of SpO2. Conclusion: The colors red and coffee caused reduction in the measurement of SpO2, but the clinical relevance of this finding is questionable, because the values were within the normal range. Keywords: Cosmetics/adverse effects; Nails; Oximetry; Monitoring; Nursing RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar as alterações nas medidas da oximetria de pulso em indivíduos sadios com esmaltes de unha. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 80 voluntárias sadias. As cores de esmalte utilizadas para avaliar a saturação periférica de oxigênio (SpO 2 ) foram: café com leite, café, chocolate, vermelho e ameixa. Estas cores foram distribuídas entre as unhas dos dedos da mão esquerda. Os dedos da mão direita foram os controles. Resultados: As cores vermelha (p=0,047) e café (p=0,024) mostraram valores menores na SpO 2 quando comparados ao controle. As outras cores não alteraram a medida da SpO 2 . Conclusão: As cores vermelha e café causaram redução na medida da SpO 2 , porém a relevância clínica deste achado é questionável, pois os valores estavam dentro do intervalo de normalidade.

Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado con 80 voluntarias sanas. Los colores de esmalte utilizados para evaluar la saturación periférica de oxígeno (SpO 2 ) fueron: café con leche, café, chocolate, rojo y ciruela. Estos colores fueron distribuidos entre las uñas de los dedos de la mano izquierda. Los dedos de la mano derecha fueron los controles. Resultados: Los colores rojo (p=0,047) y café (p=0,024) mostraron valores menores en la SpO 2 cuando fueron comparados al control. Los otros colores no alteraron la medida del SpO 2 . Conclusión: Los colores rojo y café causaron reducción en la medida del SpO 2 , sin embargo la relevancia clínica de este hallazgo es cuestionable, pues los valores estaban dentro del intervalo de normalidad.
