Problem Health professionals need to learn how relate one another ensure high-quality patient care and create collaborative supportive teams in the clinical environment. One method for addressing both of these goals is teaching empathy during professional training foster connection commonality across differences. The authors describe a pilot improvisational theater (improv) course present preliminary outcomes showing its impact on interprofessional empathy. Approach In 2016–2017, piloted...

In this mixed method study, we explored perceptions experiences bias among Methods We conducted a nationwide survey including physicians, pharmacists, advanced practice trainees. Participants were recruited via convenience sampling using X professional...
Introduction Infectious diarrheal diseases are one of the leading causes worldwide morbidity and mortality. The incidence diarrhea is higher in Low-Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), where more than 90% deaths from occur. Diagnostic tests for infectious not readily available Countries. Our study evaluates a novel, cost-effective, easy-to-use DNA stool testing kit that can easily be rolled out low-resource settings has comparable performance to current modalities USA terms diagnostic utility....
Background: Our research showed that patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) had more severe than those without a diagnosis of ALD yet were less likely to be selected for transplant listing due their increased psychosocial vulnerability. This study aims answer whether this vulnerability translates worse short-term outcomes after listing. Methods: A total 187 approved and are included in the present retrospective study. We collected dates transplantation, retransplantation,...
Extrapulmonary manifestations of asthma, including fatty infiltration in tissues, may reflect systemic inflammation and influence lung function disease severity.
Background. Portopulmonary hypertension is present in an estimated 5.3% to 8.5% of liver transplant candidates. Untreated, 5-year survival between 14% and 28%. Moderate-severe disease a contraindication due the high perioperative mortality, but patients optimized with pulmonary vasodilator therapy can become eligible for transplant. There minimal data regarding posttransplant outcomes ability discontinue posttransplant. Methods. We performed single-center retrospective analysis evaluate...
The antibody response to pertussis vaccination in rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, a concerning omission given the relatively low efficacy of vaccine, rise infections, and general increased susceptibility infection arthritis. Additionally, contributions from an intrinsically dysregulated immune system immune-suppressing medications poorly defined. This study examines titers against vaccinated patients controls as well evaluates potential demographic factors, suppressing medications,...
Background Knee and hip osteoarthritis (KHOA) are common, chronic conditions affecting function, morbidity mortality. Although the societal burden is high guidelines available to guide management, many patients do not receive recommended care. We investigated patient physician perspectives on barriers facilitators KHOA guideline-based treatment experiences in living with navigating Methods Thirty-minute face-to-face interviews were conducted primary care physicians up 4 of each at a US...
Dysphagia is common in older adults. However, there are no current estimates of dysphagia community-dwelling adults those receiving meal support.

Opportunistic viral infections cause extensive morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Low serum albumin levels before after have been associated with negative outcomes. However, it is uncertain whether transplantation are the risk for post-transplantation opportunistic BK polyomavirus (BKV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV).We reviewed all KTRs transplanted at our institution between 1 January 2005 31 December 2015 measured within 45 days a retrospective observational cohort...
Abstract Objective: Influenza can be introduced and propagated in healthcare settings by workers (HCWs) working while ill with influenza. However, reasons driving this behavior are unclear. In study, we examined barriers to facilitators of absenteeism during the influenza season. Design: Cross-sectional mixed methods study. Setting: Ambulatory inpatient a large, tertiary-care system. Methods: An anonymous electronic survey was sent HCWs between June 11 July 13, 2018, asking participants...
Historically, there has been a relative paucity of applicants to infectious disease fellowships. This leads significant number programs being unfilled in the fellowship match. We sought identify predictors program filling all positions offered match through retrospective review available and data for 2019-2021 cycles. In 2021 match, hospital research rankings were associated with filling, as offering specialized training tracks having an active Twitter account. Knowledge these associations...
Given the occurrence of cancer during a complex developmental time, adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients have unique psychosocial needs that necessitate supportive care, which is optimally provided using National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) AYA guidelines. We sought to explore compliance with NCCN guidelines compare oncology providers' perceptions care needs.Retrospective chart reviews (15-39 years at time diagnosis) sarcoma seen least once in 2019 University Wisconsin...
Abstract Background Percutaneous kidney biopsies are important tools for the diagnosis of diseases. Nephrologists must be familiar with expected complications procedure to provide an adequate informed consent. Here, we present a quality improvement analysis that reviews complication rate percutaneous performed over 2-year period by nephrologists at single center, and tabulates nature timing these events. Methods From center cohort, pre- post-biopsy anthropomorphic clinical measurements were...
The incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with post-transplant erythrocytosis (PTE) in the modern era strong, protocolized immunosuppressive management are unknown. In this study, we aim to identify incidence factors PTE associated PTE. This study examined adult KTRs transplanted at our hospital between 01/2001 12/2016. Controls were without selected a 1:5 ratio using incident density sampling. Patient survival, graft vascular thromboembolism (VTE)...
