Measurement of trainee autonomy in robotic-assisted lung resections using objective performance indicators

Abstract Trainee autonomy in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is critical for growth but difficult to quantify. Robotic platforms can log intraoperative kinematic and event data that can be transformed into metrics known as objective performance indicators (OPIs). This study sou...

The Relationship between Academic Performance and Perceived Competence in General Chemistry

Abstract Students’ perceived competence (PC) in a General Chemistry 1 course was explored using the Perceived Competence Scale, a short, well-established instrument grounded in self-determination theory. The PC Scale allows for investigation of whether students perceive that they...

Remimazolam-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia for Cardiac Surgery in an Infant With a Pathogenic RYR1 Variant

The ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) gene encodes a protein channel located on the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle, thereby playing a key role in regulation of skeletal muscle contraction. RYR1 gene mutations may result in inherited neuromuscular co...

The Many Lives of Sabina: “Trashy” Fiction and Multilingualism

This article examines the circulation and translation of Yiddish and Hebrew serialized novels such as Sabina, Tamara, and Aviva from the 1930s to the 1950s. Popular fiction, especially these romance-adventures, were excoriated by Hebrew critics of the time as foreign, worthless,...

From Data to Decisions: The Role of Low-Cost PM 2.5 Air Pollution Monitoring Technologies in Addressing Disparate Conditions in Vulnerable Communities

This review examines the intersection of low-cost PM 2.5 monitoring technologies, dashboards, and environmental justice, with a focus on vulnerable communities. While regulatory monitoring networks led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have reduced air pollution nationa...

Optimizing combinatorial macrophage induced innate immunotherapy against Ewing sarcoma

Abstract Background We previously reported that Ewing sarcoma (ES), a pediatric bone and soft tissue tumor, escapes macrophage phagocytosis by upregulating the CD47 “don’t eat me” signal and downregulating the cell-surface calreticulin (csCRT) “eat me” signal. Targeting this dual...

Racial-Ethnic and Sex Disparities in Mental Health Service Use Before Self-Harm Among Young People Enrolled in Medicaid

OBJECTIVE: This study examined racial-ethnic and sex differences (and their intersections) in mental health service use prior to deliberate self-harm among young people enrolled in Medicaid. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted by using Medicaid data from 25 states...

Integrating genetically predicted transcriptomic signatures with longitudinal real-world data for drug repurposing in Alzheimer’s disease

Drug repurposing offers a potential strategy to expand treatment options for conditions with limited therapies, but advancing repurposing candidates toward clinical implementation remains a challenge. Large-scale data, together with advanced genetic and epidemiological methods, m...

Augur: Predicting View Serializability Violations in Relational Data Store Applications

Relational data stores are widely used because they provide persistence, scalability, and fault tolerance with a simple interface. However, most data store applications configure the data store to use weak isolation for scalable performance, permitting sporadic unserializable exe...

The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae Catalog. I. Empirical Modeling of the Cyclic Variation of Spectroscopic Properties and a Chemodynamical Analysis of the Outer Halo

Abstract We present the catalog of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) observed in the first year of operations of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. This catalog contains 6240 RRLs out to ∼120 kpc from the Galactic center and over 12,000 individual epochs with homogeneous...

Distinguishing Siegel modular forms

Abstract Let and be genus 2 cuspidal Siegel paramodular newforms. We prove that if their Hecke eigenvalues and satisfy a non‐trivial polynomial relation for a set of primes of positive density, then is a scalar multiple of a quadratic twist of . This result extends the strong mul...

Anatomical and Histologic Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy: Recurrence Patterns Among Poor Responders. A Multi-institutional Observational Cohort Study.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the prognostic implications after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) by integrating anatomical response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), quantified using the Tumor Burden Score ratio (TBSr), with histologic response assessed by Tumor Regres...

Genome mining of the tumor microbiome reveals biosynthetic diversity and potential pathology-modulating metabolites

Human tumor-associated microbes – the tumor microbiome – have demonstrated an increasingly important role in human health due to their relevance to cancer progression and treatment response. While the metabolism at the host-microbiota interface, such as in the human gut, has been...

Equitable Language Access in Neonatal Research

Participation in neonatal randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is associated with improved or equivalent outcomes for infants and is widely viewed as a cornerstone of high-quality neonatal care. Equitable access to research participation is therefore essential to scientific validi...

Changing role of tenure in academic medicine: a national survey of faculty affairs deans

Background Tenure has traditionally signified academic freedom, job security and scholarly independence at US medical schools, yet the proportion of faculty in tenure-track positions has declined markedly in recent decades. Methods To assess tenure’s contemporary relevance, parti...

PS6-13. Time to Luteolysis and Conceptus Attachment Vary with Parity in Holstein Heifers and Cows Diagnosed Non-pregnant by Ultrasound 32 Days After Timed AI.

Abstract This observational study aimed to evaluate the association between time to luteolysis and parity in inseminated heifers and lactating Holstein cows diagnosed as non-pregnant by ultrasound at 32 d after timed artificial insemination (TAI). Ovulatory response between TAI a...

Growth of aromatic hydrocarbon dust particles in the extremely metal-poor galaxy Sextans A

The mid-infrared spectrum of star-forming, high-metallicity galaxies is dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic bonds in small carbonaceous dust grains, often referred to as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In metal-poor galaxies, the abundance of PAHs...

Nurses' Perspectives on a Communication Model Between Providers and Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

ABSTRACT Background Communication with mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care is complex. Decades of research demonstrate that communication barriers are commonly experienced and one of the most challenging experiences during an intensive care stay. Support for the he...

Geospatial Links Between Pediatric LRTI Acute Care Use and the Child Opportunity Index

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neighborhood social determinants influence pediatric acute care (AC) use, but their role in lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), the leading cause of pediatric hospitalization, is unclear. We mapped LRTI AC utilization and examined whether census...

Microbial Surveillance of Commonly Encountered Clinical Surfaces Within a Veterinary Ophthalmology Service

ABSTRACT Objective To establish surveillance of organisms found on high‐touch clinical surfaces within a veterinary teaching hospital ophthalmology service and record trends that may foster additional studies investigating links between environmental microbiota and pathogenic bac...
