Significance Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that encodes a chloride channel located apical membrane of epithelia cells. The cAMP signaling pathway and protein phosphorylation are known to be primary controlling mechanisms for function. In this study, we present an alternative activation involves calcium-activated calmodulin binding intrinsically disordered regulatory (R) region CFTR. Beyond their potential therapeutic...
Phenomenon: Clerkship is a challenging transition during which medical students must learn to navigate the responsibilities of school and clinical medicine. We explored how clerks understand their roles as both learners developing professionals some tensionss that arise therein. Understanding learning environment shapes clerkship role can help educators foster compassionate care. Approach: conducted 5 focus groups 1 interview with 3rd-year (n = 14) at University Toronto between January June...
To assess trends over time of same day discharge after minimally invasive hysterectomy in oncology, identify perioperative factors influencing discharge, and evaluate 30 postoperative morbidity. A retrospective cohort elective hysterectomies performed for gynecologic oncologic indications between January 2013 December 2021 was identified using the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Clinical surgical characteristics, length stay,...
Patients presenting with a positive pregnancy test and vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain routinely undergo transvaginal ultrasound as the standard diagnostic assessment. Pregnancy of unknown location is classification that describes patients beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of gynecologic surgeons' self-reflection across hysterectomy case volume, proportion cases performed using a minimally invasive approach (minimally rate), and complication rate to assess whether is associated with specific surgeon or practice characteristics. METHODS: This was cross-sectional cohort study surgeons at eight Canadian hospitals between 2016 2019. Surgeons estimated rate, for hysterectomies 6-month period an online survey. Kendall's tau-beta...
(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2022;140:39–47) Assessing surgical performance and tracking quality metrics has the potential to improve patient care safety, reducing perioperative morbidity mortality. A number of studies have suggested that surgeons inaccurately judge their own performance, especially with respect self-reflection on proficiency.
