The evolution and propagation of antibiotic resistance by bacterial pathogens are significant threats to global public health. Contemporary DNA sequencing tools were applied here gain insight into carriage genes in Escherichia coli, a ubiquitous commensal bacterium the gut microbiome humans many animals, common pathogen. Draft genome sequences generated for collection 101 E. coli strains isolated from healthy undergraduate students showed that horizontally acquired accounted most phenotypes,...
ObjectivesShortages of vascular surgeons are projected through 2050, and surgery fellowships (VSF) remain a critical pathway for training surgeons. We sought to identify general residents' perceptions of/attitudes toward (VS).MethodsAnonymous/electronic questionnaires were sent residents. Questions assessed demographics, fellowship preferences, exposure to/perceptions VS. Univariate/multivariate analysis performed.ResultsOf 152 respondents (15% response rate), 20 (13.2%) will apply VSF, 64...
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is the preferred treatment for severe blunt thoracic injuries (BTAI). Successful outcomes rely on accurate endograft sizing, but initial imaging may underestimate diameters. This study examines impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) sizing and clinical in BTAI patients.
