The Future Face of Surgery-Demographics of Students Interested in Surgery at an Academic Medical Center.

Background: The demographics of medical schools reveal a growing trend towards greater gender and underrepresented in medicine (UIM) representation among students, yet surgical residency lags behind. This study explores the demographics of first-year medical students (M1s) and their initial career interests.

Methods: A panel of faculty physicians and fourth-year medical students in surgical and nonsurgical specialties was held for M1s during orientation week.

Barriers to Medication Adherence in People Living With Epilepsy.

Background And Objectives: Epilepsy affects approximately 1.2% of the US population, resulting in 3.4 million Americans with active epilepsy.

Age-related differences in olfactory training outcomes: A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: While olfactory function decreases with age, it is unknown how age affects olfactory training (OT) efficacy. This study compared OT in two cohorts of subjects: aged ≤50 (younger cohort) and aged 51+ (older cohort) with olfactory dysfunction (OD) primarily from COVID-19 infection.

Methods: Subjects with OD primarily secondary to COVID-19 infection were prospectively recruited and enrolled into an OT registry.

Comparing outcomes of right verse left hepatic approach percutaneous biliary drainage catheters.

Purpose: Determine if there is a difference in adverse events (AE) between right or left hepatic percutaneous biliary drain placement (PTBD) in patients with biliary strictures.

Materials & Methods: This retrospective study included patients with benign or malignant biliary stricture treated with PTBD at a single institution from 7/28/2004-3/30/2021. 357 patients met inclusion criteria, 77 (21.

Detection of a transient Fe(O)(OH) species involved in olefin oxidation by a bio-inspired non-haem iron catalyst.

The Fe(TPA) (TPA = tris(pyridyl-2-methyl)amine) class of non-haem Fe catalysts is proposed to carry out selective hydrocarbon oxidations through the generation of high-valent iron species. Using ambient mass spectrometry, we obtain direct evidence for the formation of an Fe(O)(OH) species under catalytic conditions. In addition, O-labelling suggests that this Fe(O)(OH) species serves as the active oxidant in hydrocarbon oxidation catalysis.
