Trends in Urology Residency Applications: Results From The Society of Academic Urologists Program Director Survey From 2022 to 2024.

Objective: To provide a cross-sectional view of the current opinions surrounding the urology match by analyzing data from the annual Society of Academic Urologists Program Director Surveys conducted between 2022 and 2024.

Methods: Data collected through surveys distributed to all urology program directors (PD) consisting of questions covering program demographics, applicant selection criteria, preference signals (PS), virtual interviews (VI), and other relevant topics.

Results: 89, 90, and 89 PD participated in the surveys for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

Glutamine metabolism is essential for coronavirus replication in host cells and in mice.

Understanding the fundamental biochemical and metabolic requirements for the replication of coronaviruses within infected cells is of notable interest for the development of broad-based therapeutic strategies, given the likelihood of the emergence of new pandemic-potential virus species, as well as future variants of SARS-CoV-2. Here we demonstrate members of the glutaminase family of enzymes (GLS and GLS2), which catalyze the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate (i.e.

Immunofocusing on the conserved fusion peptide of HIV envelope glycoprotein in rhesus macaques.

During infection, the fusion peptide (FP) of HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env) serves a central role in viral fusion with the host cell. As such, the FP is highly conserved and therefore an attractive epitope for vaccine design. Here, we describe a vaccination study in non-human primates (NHPs) where glycan deletions were made on soluble HIV Env to increase FP epitope exposure.

The Management of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer in a Veteran Patient Population: Issues and Recommendations.

The ability of the Veterans Health Administration System to care for veterans with bladder cancer is influenced by the increased complexity of both veterans and the system's capacity to do so, which is determined by personnel and equipment allocation. Herein, we review the guidelines for bladder cancer management in the context of this population and highlight unique veteran characteristics that impact the delivery of bladder cancer care within the Veterans Health Administration System. There are opportunities for standardization and implementation, which can improve the quality of this care, and we summarize the questions for which coordinated research efforts may provide answers.
