Antiracism in Residency: A Multimethod Intervention to Increase Racial Diversity in a Community-Based Residency Program.

Background And Objectives: In order to address racial health inequity, it is imperative to create diverse physician workforce and leadership. We describe and report on the outcomes of a comprehensive diversity initiative at our residency with the goal of increasing the racial diversity of residents and faculty.

Methods: At a community-based family medicine residency program, we instituted a multifaceted diversity initiative.

Fish oil selectively improves heart function in a mouse model of lipid-induced cardiomyopathy.

Fish oil (FO) supplementation may improve cardiac function in some patients with heart failure, especially those with diabetes. To determine why this occurs, we studied the effects of FO in mice with heart failure either due to transgenic expression of the lipid uptake protein acyl CoA synthetase 1 (ACS1) or overexpression of the transcription factor peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ via the cardiac-specific myosin heavy chain (MHC) promoter. ACS1 mice and control littermates were fed 3 diets containing low-dose or high-dose FO or nonpurified diet (NPD) for 6 weeks.
