The traditional model of promotion and tenure in the health professions relies heavily on formal scholarship through teaching, research, service. Institutions consider how much weight to give activities each these areas determine a threshold for advancement. With emergence social media, scholars can engage wider audiences creative ways have broader impact. Conventional metrics like h-index do not account media Social engagement is poorly represented most curricula vitae (CV) therefore...
Background: Use of complementary and integrative health care (CIH) varies across racial ethnic groups in the United States. Lack diversity among CIH providers may hinder access to for underrepresented groups. This study aimed (1) document representation licensed professions (chiropractic, acupuncture, traditional East Asian medicine, naturopathic direct-entry midwifery, massage therapy), non-licensed professions, conventional care; (2) compare these with U.S. population; (3) examine changes...
Abstract The increasing use of mass cytometry for analyzing clinical samples offers the possibility to perform comparative analyses across public datasets. However, challenges in batch normalization and data integration limit comparison datasets not intended be analyzed together. Here, we present a strategy, CytofIn, using generalized anchors integrate from domain. We show that low-variance controls, such as healthy stable channels, are inherently homogeneous, robust against stimulation, can...
Many health professions faculty members lack training on fundamental lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) topics. Faculty development is needed to address knowledge gaps, improve teaching, prepare students competently care for the growing LGBTQ+ population.We conducted a program evaluation of massive open online course Teaching Health: A Development Course Health Professions Educators from Stanford School Medicine. Our goal was understand participant demographics, impact,...
While many algorithms for analyzing high-dimensional cytometry data have now been developed, the software implementations of these remain highly customized-this means that exploring a dataset requires users to learn unique, often poorly interoperable package syntaxes each step processing. To solve this problem, we developed {tidytof}, an open-source R using increasingly popular 'tidy data' interface.{tidytof} is available at https://github.com/keyes-timothy/tidytof and released under MIT...
The 2014 NIH Physician-Scientist Workforce Working Group predicted a future shortage of physician-scientists. Subsequent studies have highlighted disparities in MD-PhD admissions based on race, income, and education. Our analysis data from the Association American Medical Colleges covering 2014-2021 (15,156 applicants 6,840 acceptees) revealed that acceptance into US programs correlates with research experience, family publications. number experiences associated parental education income....
ABSTRACT Red knots ( Calidris canutus rufa ) have 3 distinct nonbreeding regions: 1 in the southeastern United States and Caribbean, another on northeast coast of Brazil Maranhão region, a third along Patagonian coasts Chile Argentina. Effective conservation recovery this threatened long‐distance migrant will require knowledge population structure, migration ecology, abundance distribution throughout annual cycle. We conducted stopover biogeographic assessment at Altamaha River Delta,...

Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) and transcriptional coregulators represent an emerging class of therapeutic targets in oncology. Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) can be used to evaluate pharmacological agents targeting these identify drivers disease drug resistance. However, GRN methods that rely solely on gene expression often fail account for post-transcriptional modulation TF function. We present Epiregulon, a method constructs GRNs from single-cell ATAC-seq RNA-seq data accurate...
In the United States, approximately one in 1000 children are diagnosed with autoinflammatory disease, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). A subset of JIA cases manifests as Systemic (sJIA), which is characterized by joint pain, fevers, rashes, and systemic inflammation. Severe pulmonary complications have not historically been associated sJIA. Since 2010, inhibitors interleukin-1 interleukin 6 (IL-1i/IL-6i) recommended course treatment for sJIA, yet recently studies show evidence a severe...
ABSTRACTABSTRACTLesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, non-binary, two-spirit, and other (LGBTQ+) students are a diverse group with unique frequently overlooked needs in medical training. The present study was designed to understand the concerns of LGBTQ+ applicants school examine effectiveness webinar alleviating concerns. Sixty participants joined webinars discussing application process particular attention pertinent population. Pre post surveys were administered...
National affinity organisations for medical students from groups that are under-represented in medicine, such as the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association, Latino Association and have significant impact on promoting diversity inclusion within physician workforce pipeline.1 However, no national organisation exists lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender queer (LGBTQ+) students, despite fact many schools local organisations. This lack of a communication resource network has limited...

Abstract Single-cell multiomic technologies enable holistic reconstruction of cell states and hold the potential to identify drivers tumor evolution drug resistance. However, data sparsity single-cell assays can preclude accurate estimation transcription factor activity. In addition, gene expression alone cannot capture activity, especially in context treatment which alters function without suppressing expression. To circumvent these challenges, we have developed epiregulon, a R package that...
