Millennial Medical Students' Educational Expectations of Anesthesia Clerkships.

Background: The unique characteristics of the millennial generation has promulgated changes in the workplace and in academia. A lack of national standards necessitates that anesthesia faculty create educational content for anesthesia clerkships. Assessing expectations before an anesthesia rotation would provide data to accommodate millennial medical students' needs and preferences for learning.

An Analysis of Successful Features of Anesthesiology Journal Clubs.

Background: No studies have examined how journal clubs (JCs) are implemented in anesthesiology residency training programs. The goal of the study was to close this gap by (1) examining the format, content, and goals of JCs; (2) identifying features associated with higher resident attendance and JC success; and (3) examining program directors' perspectives on JCs.

Methods: A 41-question survey was sent to anesthesiology program directors.

National Survey of US academic anesthesiology chairs on clinician wellness.

Study Objective: The prevalence of anesthesiology department wellness programs is unknown. A database of wellness programs is needed as a resource for departments attempting to respond to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Anesthesiology Milestones Project. The purpose of this study was to survey academic anesthesiology chairs on wellness issues, characterize initiatives, and establish wellness contacts for a Wellness Initiative Database (WID).

Interleukin-1 potently contributes to 25-hydroxycholesterol-induced synergistic cytokine production in smooth muscle cell-monocyte interactions.

Objectives: Inflammation is essential for atherogenesis. Cholesterol, a cardiovascular risk factor, may activate inflammation in the vessel wall during this process. Cytokine-mediated interactions of human monocytes with vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) may perpetuate this process.
