Factors Associated With Attrition Among Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Residents: A 10-Year Analysis.

Objective: To identify the risk factors for Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) resident attrition.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Annual Graduate Medical Education track survey.

Co-option of the trichome-forming network initiated the evolution of a morphological novelty in Drosophila eugracilis.

Identifying the molecular origins by which new morphological structures evolve is one of the long-standing problems in evolutionary biology. To date, vanishingly few examples provide a compelling account of how new morphologies were initially formed, thereby limiting our understanding of how diverse forms of life derived their complex features. Here, we provide evidence that the large projections on the Drosophila eugracilis phallus that are implicated in sexual conflict have evolved through the partial co-option of the trichome genetic network.

Oncology Physician Workforce Diversity: Rationale, Trends, Barriers, and Solutions.

This chapter will discuss (1) the rationale for physician workforce diversity and inclusion in oncology; (2) current and historical physician workforce demographic trends in oncology, including workforce data at various training and career levels, such as graduate medical education and as academic faculty or practicing physicians; (3) reported barriers and challenges to diversity and inclusion in oncology, such as exposure, access, preparation, mentorship, socioeconomic burdens, and interpersonal, structural, systemic bias; and (4) potential interventions and evidence-based solutions to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion and mitigate bias in the oncology physician workforce.

An Atlas of Transcription Factors Expressed in Male Pupal Terminalia of .

During development, transcription factors and signaling molecules govern gene regulatory networks to direct the formation of unique morphologies. As changes in gene regulatory networks are often implicated in morphological evolution, mapping transcription factor landscapes is important, especially in tissues that undergo rapid evolutionary change. The terminalia (genital and anal structures) of and its close relatives exhibit dramatic changes in morphology between species.
