The purpose of the study was to identify a group operations which general surgery residency program directors believed residents should be competent perform by end 5 years training and then ascertain actual resident experience with these procedures during their training.There is concern about adequacy surgeons in United States. American Board Surgery Association Program Directors undertook determine what operative consider essential practice we measured graduating those procedures, as...
Objective The purpose of this study was to define the period time after which delays in management incurred by investigations cause increased morbidity and mortality. outcome is intended correlate with death from esophageal causes, overall complications, related surgical intensive care unit length stay. Methods This a retrospective multicenter involving 34 trauma centers United States, under auspices American Association for Surgery Trauma Multi-institutional Trials Committee over span 10.5...
Health care disparities (differential access, care, and outcomes owing to factors such as race/ethnicity) are widely established. Compared with other groups, African American individuals have an increased mortality risk across multiple surgical procedures. Gender, sexual orientation, age, geographic also well documented. Further research is needed mitigate these inequities. To do so, the College of Surgeons National Institutes Health-National Institute Minority Disparities convened a summit...
Eliminating health care disparities in the United States will require a multifaceted approach that include increasing diversity workforce. Historically, field of medicine, and particularly surgery, has had an incumbent grossly misrepresents patient population. Delineating exact demographics U.S. surgical residents faculty could provide outstanding information, yielding insight into possible deficit that, if rectified by medical education system, change face surgery entire system.Demographic...
Major changes in surgical practice and myriad external mandates have affected residency education surgery. The traditional surgery training model has come under scrutiny, calls for major reform of this been made by a variety stakeholders. American Surgical Association appointed Blue Ribbon Committee 2002 to consider the recent propose solutions that would ensure well-educated well-trained workforce future. This committee included representatives from Association, College Surgeons, Board...
Background: Plastic surgery has been dedicated to advancing academic in education, research, innovation, and patient care. Thus, as U.S. health care disparities persist, it would be befitting for plastic assume the lead alleviating these disparities. As part of a multifaceted approach ameliorate disparities, increasing diversity workforce will imperative. Investigating demographics residents faculty can bring attention deficit that, if corrected, could benefit field improve entire system....
Importance: With duty hour debates, specialization, and sex distribution changes in the applicant pool, relative competitiveness for general surgery
Performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) always carries the risk of having to convert from open (LOC). Being able identify these patients preoperatively may allow better preoperative planning and lowering operative cost. All LC LOC were performed by Eastern Virginia Medical School Department Surgery retrospectively identified between January 2008 December 2009. Preoperative factors in both groups included: age, gender, body mass index greater than 30 kg/m(2), diabetes mellitus, previous...
Gram-negative bacteria remain the leading cause of sepsis, a disease that is consistently in top 10 causes death internationally. Curing bacteremia alone does not necessarily end process as other factors may inflammatory damage. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are naturally produced blebs from gram-negative bacteria, which contain various proteins and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We hypothesize these initiate an response independent parent bacteria. Outer were isolated cultures...
The diagnosis and clinical significance of blunt cardiac injury remains controversial. Cardiac troponin I is not found in skeletal muscle has a high sensitivity for myocardial ischemia or injury. We hypothesized that normal levels 4 to 6 hours postinjury would effectively exclude the contusion. A prospective evaluation all trauma patients older than 16 admitted with possible was undertaken. Patients whom this considered had an electrocardiogram (EKG) on admission, serum troponin, CPK...
