Data show that international medical graduates (IMGs), both US and foreign born, are more likely to enter primary care specialties practice in underserved areas. Comprehensive assessments of representation trends for IMGs the physician workforce limited.We reported current historical graduate education (GME) training pool practicing workforce.We compared total GME active pools with 20 largest residency specialties. A 2-sided test was used comparison, P < .001 considered significant. To...

Objective As the number of female medical students and surgical residents increases, increasing academic surgeons has been disproportionate. The purpose this brief report is to evaluate AAMC data from 1969 2018 compare level faculty representation for specialties over past four decades. Design women as a percentage total per year were recorded each 1969–2018, most recent available. Descriptive statistics performed. Poisson regression examined in field outcome interest with specialty (using...

Abstract The photoresection of endobronchial tumors produces smoke which is partly inhaled by the patient as well surgical staff. In an animal study we investigated whether a single exposure or repetitive exposures to might have harmful side effects on airways. Eleven sheep were exposed produced laser‐vaporizing (6,500 J) sections bronchial tissue (1 cm 3 ) in Plexiglas chamber. analysis revealed 0.92 mg/liter particles with mean particle size 0.54 μm. Carbon monoxide content was estimated...

Background Prolonged wound-discharge following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with an increased risk of infection. However, the potential role hypertension in prolonging duration wound healing this population has not yet been investigated. The aim present study was to compare that hypertensive and normotensive THA patients terms length time required achieve a dry stay hospital. Methods One hundred twenty primary were evaluated. Pre-operative clinical history physical examination...

Allergic sheep respond to inhaled Ascaris suum antigen either with an acute bronchoconstriction alone (acute responders, AR) or both and late (dual DR). In this study, we determined if: (1) inflammatory cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained during the response differs between DR AR; (2) difference in cells is dependent on prechallenge BAL composition; (3) drugs that block airway responses also modify inflammation. Antigen challenge caused significant immediate mean...

Introduction Cardiac neurosis, also termed cardiophobia or heart anxiety, is characterized by persistent fear and misinterpretation of normal cardiac sensations as symptoms disease, despite the absence clinical evidence. This psychosomatic condition associated with significant depression, somatic complaints, often leading to unnecessary medical consultations. The current study explored psychological impact self-perceived emphasizing relationship between cardiac-focused generalized lifestyle...

We reported previously that the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) 24 h after antigen challenge in allergic sheep was associated with increased tissue kallikrein activity (TK) and decreased alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1-PI) bronchoalveolar fluid (BAL). The inverse correlation between TK alpha 1-PI these experiments suggested administration might reduce block AHR. To test this hypothesis, responsiveness, as determined by calculating cumulative carbachol breath units (BU)...

Prolongation of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment numerous types cancer has been shown to reduce overall survival (OS). Treatment delays are common squamous cell carcinoma anus (SCCA) due toxicity definitive chemoradiation (CRT). The effect these on outcomes not well evaluated. This study investigated effects RT prolongation OS patients receiving CRT for SCCA.The National Cancer Database was queried adult diagnosed with SCCA and treated from 2004-2014. Cox proportional hazard regression...

Sodium metabisulfite (MBS) is a food preservative that can trigger bronchoconstriction in asthmatic subjects. Previous studies designed to identify the mechanisms involved this response have yielded conflicting results. We noted certain similarities between pharmacology of MBS-induced airway responses and those elicited by bradykinin (BK), another provocating agent Therefore we used allergic sheep determine whether 1) had similar previously seen with BK model, including protection...
