RESUMEN
We described the epidemiology of bat intrusions into a hospital and subsequent management of exposures during 2018-2020. Most intrusions occurred in older buildings during the summer and fall months. Hospitals need bat intrusion surveillance systems and protocols for bat handling, exposure management, and intrusion mitigation.

In this study, we present the results of the development and implementation of an online simulator of human cardiac function. The program comprises a set of modular applets in the Java programming language that allow first-year medical and dental students at Columbia University to study the pressure-volume relationship in the left ventricle of the heart. The results of the student and faculty surveys administered suggest that student learning was augmented by the simulator and that students enjoyed the experience of studying with it.
