Abstract Context Radioactive iodine (RAI) has been epidemiologically associated with the development of hematologic malignancies. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is a precursor clonal state that confers increased risk leukemia and occurs at an elevated rate in patients thyroid cancer relative to other solid tumors. Objective We explore if high prevalence CH may be result RAI exposure whether surrogate association between leukemia. Design CH, CH-potential driver (CH-PD), overall survival were...
A poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microsphere formulation was developed which incorporates carboxylic acid groups into the surface. These functional are suitable for coupling to a variety of ligands and form linkages that remain stable in aqueous environments extended periods time. The ligand binding capacity these microspheres compares favorably similarly sized carboxylated polystyrene microspheres, commonly used as model particles targeted delivery studies. Targeting specific cell...
Autophagy is a highly conserved mechanism that activated during cellular stress. We hypothesized autophagy may be induced by acid reflux, which causes injury, and inflammation, therefore, contributes to the pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus (BE) esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Currently, role in BE EAC poorly studied. quantitatively define levels human cell lines, transgenic mouse model BE, biopsies. Human non‐dysplastic had highest basal number autophagic vesicles (AVs), while AVs were...
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant disease primarily characterized by cutaneous café au lait macules, benign neurofibromas, and iris hamartomas. A spectrum of vascular abnormalities associated with NF-1. We present a case 49-year-old female NF-1 spontaneous rupture the infrarenal aorta caused invasion neurofibroma treated endovascular stent grafting.
Objective. To describe residency program compliance to a 60% pass rate and 80% eligibility standard outlined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) on American Board of Pediatrics Certifying Examination. The hypothesis is that larger programs will have higher rates. Methods. Pediatric were retrospectively evaluated from 2008 2010 regarding ACGME standards. Simple linear regression was performed see if rates dependent size. Results. A total 162/163 (83.4%) had...
<h3>Background:</h3> The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) sets residency performance standards the American Board of Family Medicine Certification Examination. This study aims are to describe compliance programs with ACGME and determine whether pass rates depend on program size location. <h3>Methods:</h3> In this retrospective cohort study, from 2007 2011 was compared standards. Simple linear regression performed see were dependent size. Regional differences in...
To determine Internal Medicine residency program compliance with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education 80% pass-rate standard and correlation between size performance on American Board of Certifying Examination.Using a cross-sectional study design from 2010-2012 Examination data all pro-grams, comparisons were made pass rates to standard. assess performance, Spearman's rho was calculated. evaluate its relationship standard, receiver operative characteristic curves...
Duty hour limitations initiated by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 2003 could improve resident education surgical specialties.The purpose of this study was to evaluate national board examination performance and its relationship ACGME duty standards.In retrospective cohort study, electronically published website content evaluated statistics 10 boards American Board Specialties. To trends over time, we performed simple linear regression. We also interrupted...
Performance on the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) Certification and Recertification Examinations by country medical school training has not been examined. Based internal medicine patterns, we hypothesize that examinees trained in United States Canada would outperform other countries.In this retrospective cohort study from 2004 to 2011, data ABFM examinations were obtained ABFM. Fisher exact χ(2) tests performed across years based examinee training. Simple linear regression was...
