Teaching Before, During, and After a Surgical Resuscitation.

Teaching during a surgical resuscitation can be difficult due to the infrequency of these events. Furthermore, when these events do occur, the trainee can experience cognitive overload and an overwhelming amount of stress, thereby impairing the learning process. The emergent nature of these scenarios can make it difficult for the surgical educator to adequately teach.

Diverse collections in matroids and graphs.

We investigate the parameterized complexity of finding diverse sets of solutions to three fundamental combinatorial problems. The input to the Weighted Diverse Bases problem consists of a matroid , a weight function , and integers . The task is to decide if there is a collection of of such that the weight of the symmetric difference of any pair of these bases is at least .

Functional potential and evolutionary response to long-term heat selection of bacterial associates of coral photosymbionts.

Symbiotic microorganisms are crucial for the survival of corals and their resistance to coral bleaching in the face of climate change. However, the impact of microbe-microbe interactions on coral functioning is mostly unknown but could be essential factors for coral adaption to future climates. Here, we investigated interactions between cultured dinoflagellates of the Symbiodiniaceae family, essential photosymbionts of corals, and associated bacteria.

The Effects of COVID-19 on General Surgery Residency Programs in the United States.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted multiple aspects of surgical education. This survey delineates steps taken by general surgery residency programs to meet changing patient-care needs while continuing to provide adequate education.

Methods: A survey was administered to program directors and coordinators of all United States general surgery residency programs to assess the early effects of the pandemic on residents from March 1 through May 31, 2020.

'On paper, you're normal': narratives of unseen health needs among women who have had children removed from their care.

Background: Mothers who have children removed from their care often have complex needs. These women have poor health outcomes and are dying earlier than their peers from preventable and amenable causes. Yet there is little known about how health care services might mitigate these risks.
