Background and Purpose— MRI is able to quantify carotid plaque size composition with good accuracy reproducibility provides an opportunity prospectively examine the relationship between features subsequent cerebrovascular events. We tested hypothesis that characteristics of plaque, as assessed by MRI, are possible predictors future ipsilateral Methods— A total 154 consecutive subjects who initially had asymptomatic 50% 79% stenosis ultrasound ≥12 months follow-up were included in this study....
Previous studies suggest that erythrocyte membranes from intraplaque hemorrhage into the necrotic core are a source of free cholesterol and may become driving force in progression atherosclerosis. We have shown MRI can accurately identify carotid precisely measure plaque volume. tested hypothesis atheroma stimulates progression.Twenty-nine subjects (14 cases with 15 controls comparably sized plaques without at baseline) underwent serial examination multicontrast weighted protocol (T1, T2,...
Despite sincere commitment to egalitarian, meritocratic principles, subtle gender bias persists, constraining women's opportunities for academic advancement. The authors implemented a pair-matched, single-blind, cluster randomized, controlled study of gender-bias-habit-changing intervention at large public university.
The National Science Foundation and others conclude that institutional transformation is required to ensure equal opportunities for the participation advancement of men women in academic science, technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine (STEMM). Such requires changing habitual attitudes behaviors faculty. Approaching implicit bias as a remediable habit, we present theoretical basis conceptual model underpinning an educational intervention promote literacy among university faculty step...
Ineffective leadership during cardiopulmonary resuscitation ("code") can negatively affect a patient's likelihood of survival.

Text analysis software identified word counts, categories, frequencies, contexts; factor detected patterns of categories in student-author gender pairings.Analyses showed main...
Women are sparsely represented in leadership academic science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). Cultural stereotypes about men, women, leaders influence the attitudes, judgments, decisions that others make women choices for themselves. Multilevel interventions needed to counteract impact of these pervasive easily activated stereotypes, which conspire multiple ways constrain women's entry, persistence, advancement STEMM. We describe an individual-level educational...
