Characterizing the Relationships Amongst Psychological Safety, the Learning Environment, and Well-Being in Surgical Faculty and Trainees.

Objective: Learning environments affect the well-being of surgical faculty and trainees. Psychological safety (PS) has been linked with learning behaviors and aspects of well-being within medicine; however, given the unique challenges inherent to the surgical learning environment, there is a need to more closely examine these concepts for surgical faculty and trainees. The objective of this study is to examine the relationships between learning environment and PS, as well as PS and well-being with surgery.

RadOncCalc: A Mobile-Friendly Tool to Enhance Radiation Oncology Practice.

This study introduces RadOncCalc, a mobile and web-based platform designed to consolidate oncology research and guidelines into one accessible tool for radiation oncologists. By providing up-to-date dose constraints and contouring guidelines, RadOncCalc enhances clinical decision-making and patient care quality in radiation oncology.

Dose Planning and Radiation Optimization for Thoracic Conventional, Twice Daily, and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy: A Delphi Consensus From a National Survey of Practitioners.

Purpose: We sent surveys to a large number of radiation oncologists with active thoracic cancer practices and applied the Delphi method over 3 rounds to generate consensus dose-volume histogram metrics. We used these results to create consensus-based organs-at-risk dose constraints and target goal templates for practical implementation.

Methods And Materials: In this institutional review board-approved study, data were collected using REDCap electronic data capture on a secure server.

Timing of Surgical Intervention of Uncomplicated Pediatric Umbilical Hernias.

Pediatric umbilical hernias are common congenital defects that regularly close without intervention. When spontaneous closure fails to occur, surgical herniorrhaphy is the standard of care. However, there are currently no national consensus guidelines describing the appropriate minimum age of surgical intervention for umbilical hernias.
