The aim of this study was to develop and validate an instrument measure Belonging in Surgery among surgical residents.
Large tumor size is associated with poorer outcomes in well-differentiated thyroid cancer, yet it remains unclear whether >4 cm alone confers increased risk, independent of other markers aggressive disease. The goal this study was to assess the relationship between size, high-risk histopathological features, and survival cancer evaluate significance 4 as a cutoff for management decisions.
Sixty-five million individuals in the US live primary care shortage areas with nearly one-third of Medicare patients need a health professional. Periodic examinations and preventive visits have demonstrated benefit for surgical patients; however, impact professional shortages on adverse outcomes from surgery is largely unknown.
Abstract Neuronal activity sculpts brain development by inducing the transcription of genes such as brain‐derived neurotrophic factor ( Bdnf ) that modulate function synapses. Sensory experience is transduced into changes in gene via activation calcium signaling pathways downstream both L‐type voltage‐gated channels (L‐ VGCC s) and NMDA ‐type glutamate receptors NMDAR s). These converge on regulation factors including calcium‐response (Ca RF ). Although Ca dispensable for transcriptional...
Importance Adverse patient events are inevitable in surgical practice. Objectives To characterize the impact of adverse on surgeons and trainees, identify coping mechanisms, assess whether current forms support sufficient. Design, Setting, Participants In this mixed-methods study, a validated survey instrument was adapted distributed to trainees from 7 programs, qualitative interviews were conducted with faculty 4 departments an urban academic health system. Main Outcomes Measures The...
Background and Purpose— Most cryptogenic strokes are thought to have an embolic source. We sought determine whether associated with visceral infarcts, which usually embolic. Methods— Among patients prospectively enrolled in CAESAR (Cornell Acute Stroke Academic Registry), we selected those a contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomographic scan within 1 year of admission. Our exposure variable was adjudicated stroke subtype per the Trial ORG 10172 Treatment classification. outcome renal or...
Background: The United States is in the midst of an opioid crisis. Injection drug use a major risk factor for necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) by introducing bacteria into tissues. Repetitive infection and atypical pathogens may be tangible manifestations Methods: We describe recidivism two cases NSTI involving abuse at single institution review pertinent international literature. Results: rare. Patients with chronic injection use, however, particular repetitive organisms....
Introduction: Kidney transplant candidates are occasionally found during the pre-transplant evaluation to have a suspicious mass in native kidney. Further work-up and management of such may delay transplantation for several months, which create logistic barriers transplant, particularly if there timing constraints donor. In this study, we report our experience with simultaneous living donor kidney laparoscopic nephrectomy, where indication nephrectomy was lesion. Methods: We performed...
Variation in outcomes across hospitals adversely affects surgical patients. The use of high-quality varies by population, which may contribute to disparities.To simulate the implications data-driven hospital selection for social welfare among patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery.This economic evaluation used inpatient file from Florida Agency Health Care Administration. Surgical were treated between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018 (training cohort), estimate performance....
PURPOSE Staging information is essential for colorectal cancer research. Medicare claims are an important source of population-level data but currently lack oncologic stage. We aimed to develop a claims-based model identify stage at diagnosis in patients with cancer. METHODS included age 66 years or older the SEER-Medicare registry. Using diagnosed from 2014 2016, we developed models (multinomial logistic regression, elastic net and random forest) classify into I-II, III, IV on basis...
