Clinical Outcomes of Stereotactic Radiosurgery-Related Radiation Necrosis in Patients with Intracranial Metastasis from Melanoma.

Background: Radiation necrosis (RN) is a clinically relevant complication of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for intracranial metastasis (ICM) treatments. Radiation necrosis development is variable following SRS. It remains unclear if risk factors for and clinical outcomes following RN may be different for melanoma patients.

Pregnancy and Motherhood for Trainees in Anesthesiology: A Survey of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Background: Although approximately half of US medical students are now women, anesthesiology training programs have yet to achieve gender parity. Women trainees' experiences and needs, including those related to motherhood, are increasingly timely concerns for the field of anesthesiology. At present, limited data exists on the childbearing experiences of women physicians in anesthesiology training.

Motherhood and Anesthesiology: A Survey of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Background: The proportion of women medical school graduates in the United States has grown substantially; however, representation of women in anesthesiology lags behind. We sought to investigate factors associated with women recommending against a career in anesthesiology due to obstacles related to motherhood.

Methods: We surveyed 9525 women anesthesiologist members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) with a web-based survey distributed via e-mail.
