'Fit' refers to an applicants' perceived compatibility a residency programme. A variety of structural, identity-related and relational factors contribute self-assessments fit. The 2021 recruitment cycle in the USA was performed virtually due COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known about how video-interviewing may affect ability gauge fit.A multidisciplinary, anonymous survey distributed applicants at large academic institution between rank order list (ROL) certification deadline Match Day 2021....
INTRODUCTION The residency match process for the 4th year medical student is stressful and nuanced. We have all been there. are a multi-institutional group of surgical residents called Collaboration Surgical Education Fellows (CoSEF) who work together to foster peer mentorship, networking, scholarly collaboration.1 Based on our collective experiences, we propose these 6 steps find your perfect build BRANDD: (1) Build strong application; (2) Reflect priorities; (3) Assess program list; (4)...
Rationale and ObjectiveThree-dimensional (3D) printing allows innovative solutions for personal protective equipment, particularly in times of crisis. Our goal was to generate an N95-alternative 3D-printed respirator that passed Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA)-certified quantitative fit testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials Methods3D printed prototypes N95 were created based on design commercial respirators. Computed tomography imaging performed anthropomorphic head...
The process by which surgery residency programs select applicants is complex, opaque, and susceptible to bias. Despite attempts program directors educational researchers address these issues, residents have limited ability affect change within the at present. Here, we present results of a design thinking brainstorm improve resident selection propose this technique as framework for surgical creatively solve problems generate actionable changes.
Lipin proteins (lipin 1, 2, and 3) regulate glycerolipid homeostasis by acting as phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase (PAP) enzymes in the TG synthesis pathway regulating DNA-bound transcription factors to control gene transcription. Hepatic PAP activity could contribute hepatic fat accumulation response physiological pathophysiological stimuli. To examine role of lipin 1 lipid metabolism, we generated mice that are deficient lipin-1-encoded a liver-specific manner (Alb-Lpin1−/− mice). This...
Many commonly used mask designs are secured by elastic straps looping around the posterior auricular region. This constant pressure and friction against skin may contribute to increased wearer pain, irritation, discomfort. The purpose of this work is report a modified 3D printed extender alleviate discomfort increase wearability relieving from isolation masks.Our institutional review board designated project as non-human research exempt. As part resourcing printing laboratories along with...
Abstract Background Site‐1 Protease (S1P) is a Golgi‐resident protein required for the activation of regulatory proteins that drive key cellular functions, including, unfolded response (UPR) and lipid cholesterol biosynthesis. While disruptions in S1P function have been widely characterized animal models, to date, implications disrupted human disease states are not completely known. Methods The patient both parents underwent whole exome mitochondrial DNA sequencing, Sanger sequencing was...
The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated widespread shortages of filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and the creation sharing proposed substitutes (novel designs, repurposed materials) with limited testing against regulatory standards. We aimed to categorically test efficacy fit potential N95 respirator using protocols that can be replicated in university laboratories.
Background High output is a common cause for readmission after new ileostomy creation. The loss of sodium leads to compensatory activation the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) are first-line therapy hypertension in United States. We hypothesized that concurrent use ACEI/ARB increases risk following creation due this mechanism. Methods Patients undergoing between 2009-2022 at an integrated...
As residency applications loom, medical students may feel pressure to consider participating in away rotations. For some, there is good reason to: program directors (PDs) fields such as emergency medicine or orthopaedic surgery cited participation rotations either an important factor the most applicant consideration.1,2 By contrast, only 10% of general PDs rotation factor, making decision for applicants more ambiguous.1 However, with transition virtual interviews, majority expressed concerns...
Novel designs and materials for filtering face-piece respirators (FFRs) have been disseminated in response to shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since filtration efficiency depends on particle diameter air face velocity, relevance of material or prototype fit data test conditions. We investigate whether characterizing a filter holder at range velocities enabled precise prediction performance novel sewn mask design. While larger particles (> 500 nm) are more relevant inhalation exposure...

Rationale Our previous studies have shown that hearts of Col6 −/− mice are protected from myocardial infarction (MI) injury, as these exhibit reduced myocyte apoptosis, fibrosis and wall thinning leading to preserved long‐term cardiac function. The current project was designed test whether knockdown is feasible in the rat MI model carries a similar cardioprotective effect during post‐MI remodeling. Objective To utilize novel, non‐viral delivery method deliver determine siRNA‐mediated...
