Background: Structured faculty development programs focused on integrating health equity into medical education curricula remain limited.
Aim: To describe an interdisciplinary faculty development program grounded in adult learning theory and to assess its impact on participants' professional growth.
Setting And Participants: Twenty-one faculty members across six academic-affiliated health systems.
Background: Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. Occupational anaphylaxis is an anaphylaxis that occurs in an occupational context. In this position paper, we propose diagnostic criteria for occupational anaphylaxis and provide an overview of the current state of knowledge in terms of prevalence, triggers, prevention, and management.

The mechanism behind hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure remains poorly understood, despite previous efforts to correlate altered hemodynamics with vascular remodeling. We have recently demonstrated that transitional flow induces high-frequency vibrations in the AVF wall, albeit with a simplified model. This study addresses the key limitations of our original fluid-structure interaction (FSI) approach, aiming to evaluate the vibration response using a more realistic model.
