Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella) is one of the most significant food-borne pathogens affecting both humans and agriculture. We have determined that encodes an uptake utilization pathway specific for a novel nutrient, fructose-asparagine (F-Asn), which essential fitness in inflamed intestine (modeled using germ-free, streptomycin-treated, ex-germ-free with human microbiota, IL10−/− mice). The locus encoding F-Asn utilization, fra, provides advantage only if can initiate...
Objective: To determine differences in entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessments between male and female general surgery residents. Summary Background Data: Evaluations play a critical role career advancement for physicians. However, physicians training receive lower evaluations underrate their own performance. Competency-based assessment frameworks, such as EPAs, may help address gender bias by linking to specific, observable behaviors. Methods: In this cohort study, EPA were...
To examine differences in resident operative experience between male and female general surgery residents.
Abstract Insertions in the Salmonella enterica fra locus, which encodes fructose-asparagine (F-Asn) utilization pathway, are highly attenuated mouse models of inflammation (>1000-fold competitive index). Here, we report that F-Asn is bacteriostatic to a fraB mutant (IC 50 19 μM), but not wild-type or island deletion mutant. We hypothesized presence FraD kinase and absence FraB deglycase causes build-up toxic metabolite: 6-phosphofructose-aspartate (6-P-F-Asp). used biochemical assays...
Objective: To determine the relationship between race/ethnicity and case volume among graduating surgical residents. Background: Racial/ethnic minority individuals face barriers to entry advancement in surgery; however, no large-scale investigations of operative experience racial/ethnic residents have been performed. Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education logs categorical general surgery at 20 programs US Resident OPerative...
National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) be discussed with patients thin melanoma at higher risk for metastasis (T1b or T1a positive deep margins, lymphovascular invasion, high mitotic index). We examined the association between SLNB and resource utilization in this cohort.We conducted a retrospective cohort study of underwent wide local excision melanomas from 2009 to 2018 tertiary care center. Patients who were compared those did not...
Abstract Background The ACS‐NSQIP risk calculator predicts perioperative risk. This study tested the calculator's ability to predict for outcomes following retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) resection. Methods United States Sarcoma Collaborative database was queried adults who underwent RPS Estimated calculated twice in calculator, once using sarcoma‐specific CPT codes and indicative of most comorbid organ resection (eg nephrectomy). ROC curves were generated, with area under curve (AUC) Brier...
