Objective: To determine the representation of Black/AA women surgeons in academic medicine among U.S. medical school faculty and to assess number NIH grants awarded surgeon-scientists over past 2 decades. Summary Background Data: Despite increasing ethnic/racial sex diversity schools residencies, have historically been underrepresented surgery. Methods: A retrospective review Association American Medical Colleges 2017 Faculty Roster was performed from (1998–2017) obtained. Data included...
<h3>Importance</h3> The lack of underrepresented in medicine physicians within US academic surgery continues, with Black surgeons representing a disproportionately low number. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the trend general residency application, matriculation, and graduation rates for trainees compared their racial ethnic counterparts over time. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this nationwide multicenter study, data from Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) match...
Abstract Desmoid tumors are nonmalignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that mainly contain fibroblast lineage cells. These often occur in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) coli who have germ line mutations the APC gene. Given emerging data has implicated multipotent mesencyhmal stromal cells (MSC) tumors, we hypothesized desmoid may arise FAP after MSCs acquire somatic during proliferative phase wound healing. To test this idea, examined 16 from FAP-associated and sporadic...
To determine the role of race and gender in career experience Black/AA academic surgeons to quantify prevalence with racial bias stratified by gender.Compared their male counterparts, Black/African American women remain significantly underrepresented among senior surgical faculty department leadership. The impact on professional trajectory has not been well-studied.A cross-sectional survey regarding demographics, employment, perceived barriers advancement was distributed via email surgeon...
Rural areas are disproportionally affected by lung cancer late-stage incidence and mortality. Lung screening (LCS) is recommended to find early reduce mortality, yet uptake low. The purpose of this study was elucidate the barriers to, facilitators of, suggested interventions for increasing LCS among a rural screening-eligible population using mixed methods concurrent embedded design study.
Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)-regulated Wnt and transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling cooperate in the intestine to maintain normal enterocyte functions. Human clinical trials showed that estrogen [17β-estradiol (E2)], ligand of nuclear receptors receptor α (ERα) ERβ, inhibited colorectal cancer (CRC) women. Consistent with this finding, we reported E2, ERα ERβ suppressed intestinal tumorigenesis C57BL/6J-Min/+ (Min/+) mouse, a CRC model. Here, extended our results further...
Food deserts are low-income census tracts with poor access to supermarkets and associated worse outcomes in breast, colon, a small number of esophageal cancer patients. This study investigated residency food on readmission rates multi-institutional cohort patients undergoing trimodality therapy.
Tumor levels of thymidylate synthase (TS), a target 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, have been studied as predictive or prognostic biomarker with mixed results.Tumor TS were prospectively evaluated in two adjuvant therapy trials patients resected stage II III colon cancer. expression was determined by standard immunohistochemistry and automated quantitative analysis. mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D) BRAF c.1799T > A (p.V600E) mutation status also examined....
Bochdalek hernias are a rare occurrence in adults and usually asymptomatic, resulting incidental discovery. However, surgical intervention is recommended for both symptomatic asymptomatic due to the risk of acute morbidity mortality. There various possible approaches that may be appropriate depending on circumstance, with robotic repair becoming increasingly popular. To date, rarity condition has limited available data postoperative outcomes.
Nutritional status is related to treatment outcomes for esophageal cancer. Residing in a food desert (FD) has been associated with worse breast and colon We assessed the association of residing FD on 30-day cancer patients who received tri-modality therapy.A retrospective review underwent esophagectomy (1/2015 7/2020, New Hampshire, USA) was performed. Patients were excluded if they did not undergo neo-adjuvant treatment, required outside standard Chemoradiotherapy Oesophageal Cancer...
Objective: This study aimed to determine the influence of structural racism, vis-à-vis neighborhood socioeconomic trajectory, on colorectal and breast cancer diagnosis treatment. Summary Background Data: Inequities in care are well documented United States but less is understood about how historical policies like residential redlining evolving characteristics current gaps care. Methods: retrospective cohort included adult patients diagnosed with or between 2010 2015 7 Indiana cities...
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been established as a safe and effective alternative to an open approach for the treatment of early-stage lung cancer. Despite this, differences in utilization across nation are present. The aims this study were to: (I) characterize trends use VATS management cancer United States, (II) describe if particular regions country utilize minimally invasive more frequently.We studied all Medicare beneficiaries from ages 65 99 years with full Part A B...
Despite progress in developing learning health systems (LHS) and associated metrics of success, a gap remains identifying measures to guide the implementation assessment impact an oncology LHS. Our aim was identify balanced set person-centered LHS.A modified Delphi process clinical value compass framework were used prioritize for tracking LHS performance. A multidisciplinary group 77 stakeholders, including people with cancer family members, participated 3 rounds online voting followed by...
Background: Studies have demonstrated that chemoprophylaxis following anatomic lung resection can reduce post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF). However, it is unclear if non-anatomic wedge warrants prophylaxis, as previously published rates vary widely. The primary goal of this study was to assess an institutional rate POAF resections with implementation a novel amiodarone administration regimen compared without prophylaxis. Methods: We performed retrospective cohort prospectively...
