Histopathological Patterns and Outcomes of Triple-Positive Versus Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Study at a Tertiary Cancer Center.

Background One of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in females under 45 years old is breast cancer (BC). The definition of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the lack of expression of estrogen receptors (ERs) as well as progesterone receptors (PRs) and Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (HER2) gene amplification. Triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC), on the other hand, is defined as tumors expressing a high level of ER, PR, and HER2 receptors.

Exploring mentorship in surgery: An interview study on how people stick together.

Objective: The objective is to explore the processes contributing to how and why mentors and mentees initiate, maintain and grow in their mentorship relationships in surgery.

Background: To explore the processes contributing to how and why mentors and mentees initiate, maintain and grow their mentorship relationships in surgery. Evidence suggests that mentorship has a positive impact on physicians' success.

A Video-Based Assessment Tool to Measure Intraoperative Laparoscopic Suturing Using a Modified Script Concordance Methodology.

Objectives: Laparoscopic suturing (LS) is a challenging laparoscopic skill to teach. Its complexity and nuances are not modeled or measured in current simulation and assessment platforms.The script concordance test (SCT) is used to assess clinical reasoning.

The incidence of iron deficiency anemia post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy: a systematic review.

Setting: The physiological and anatomical changes that occur as a consequence of bariatric surgery result in macro- and micro-nutritional deficiencies, especially iron deficiency. The reported incidence of iron deficiency and associated anemia after bariatric surgery varies widely across studies.

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review is to quantify the impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on the incidence of iron deficiency.

Establishing meaningful benchmarks: the development of a formative feedback tool for advanced laparoscopic suturing.

Background: Time and accuracy are commonly used metrics to assess laparoscopic skills in a simulated environment. However, they do not provide trainees with meaningful information about how to improve their skills. The objective of this study was to provide preliminary validity evidence for the creation a formative feedback tool (FFT) for advanced laparoscopic suturing skills.

What are the Training Gaps for Acquiring Laparoscopic Suturing Skills?

Introduction: Advanced laparoscopic suturing is considered a challenging skill to acquire. The aim of this study was to investigate the learning process for advanced laparoscopic suturing in the operating room to understand the obstacles trainees face when trying to master the skill.

Methods: A qualitative methodology using semistructured interviews and field observations was used.

Perioperative feedback in surgical training: A systematic review.

Background: Changes in surgical training have raised concerns about residents' operative exposure and preparedness for independent practice. One way of addressing this concern is by optimizing teaching and feedback in the operating room (OR). The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review on perioperative teaching and feedback.

New models for advanced laparoscopic suturing: taking it to the next level.

Background: Current simulations for laparoscopic suturing do not reflect the complexity of the skills required in the operating room. The purpose of this study was to develop three novel advanced suturing tasks with assessment metrics and to collect validity evidence for their measures of suturing skill.

Methods: We developed three tasks based on training gaps identified through a previous needs assessment: needle handling (NH), suturing under tension (UT), and continuous suturing (CS).
