Outcomes of Haplo-Cord Versus Dual Cord Transplants: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis.

Despite the concurrent use of haploidentical cord (HCT) and dual cord (DCT) stem cell transplant approaches for over a decade, there have been few comparisons of their outcomes. Our objective in this study is to assess for differences in the outcomes and adverse effects associated with HCTs versus DCTs. Here we report a retrospective analysis of HCTs and DCTs at our institution.

Satisfaction or Distraction: Exposure to Nonpreferred Music May Alter the Learning Curve for Surgical Trainees.

Objective: There is growing evidence supporting the benefits of preferred music on task performance, however there is a paucity of data regarding the potential impact on surgical and procedural learners. This study aims to assess the effects of nonpreferred music on surgical and procedural learners.

Design: This was a single-blinded, randomized crossover trial in which each participant completed a survey regarding their demographic information and music preferences.
