Background: Addressing operational inefficiencies in operating rooms (ORs) enhances patient access to care, reduces delays, and improves employee and patient satisfaction. The Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) promotes patient safety through increased teamwork, empowerment of frontline staff, and utilization of science of safety principles. CUSP has demonstrated success in outpatient and inpatient settings to decrease complication rates and establish a culture of safety but has been used minimally in the perioperative setting.

- - This study focuses on transforming human pluripotent stem cells into insulin-producing beta-like cells for diabetes treatment and to better understand human beta cell development in a lab setting.
- - Current methods lead to early commitment to hormone production, resulting in non-functional cells, but adjusting the differentiation process can create functional pancreatic cells by using specific growth factors.
- - The new method allows researchers to produce glucose-responsive beta-like cells that closely mimic real human beta cells and shows their ability to lower blood sugar levels in diabetic mice after transplantation.
