Quantifying preserved renal volume and function in patients undergoing standard partial nephrectomy vs. tumor enucleation for localized renal tumors.

Introduction: Renal parenchymal volume loss from standard partial nephrectomy (SPN) is a significant prognosticator for postoperative renal function. Tumor enucleation (TE) minimizes parenchymal loss compared to SPN. Little is known regarding discrete changes in renal function associated with volume loss.

Emotional Intelligence and Resilience "PROGRAM" Improves Wellbeing and Stress Management Skills in Preclinical Medical Students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if implementation of a new educational curriculum focusing on Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Resilience improved second year medical student scores in these areas.

Methods: Our EI-Resilience curriculum was offered as an elective for second year medical students to voluntarily enroll in. The elective consisted of six 2-hour sessions taught by a single faculty member over eight months.
