Filamentous bacteriophage delays healing of Pseudomonas-infected wounds.

Chronic wounds infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) are characterized by disease progression and increased mortality. We reveal Pf, a bacteriophage produced by Pa that delays healing of chronically infected wounds in human subjects and animal models of disease. Interestingly, impairment of wound closure by Pf is independent of its effects on Pa pathogenesis.

Burnout, Depression, Career Satisfaction, and Work-Life Integration by Physician Race/Ethnicity.

Importance: Previous research suggests that the prevalence of occupational burnout varies by demographic characteristics, such as sex and age, but the association between physician race/ethnicity and occupational burnout is less well understood.

Objective: To investigate possible differences in occupational burnout, depressive symptoms, career satisfaction, and work-life integration by race/ethnicity in a sample of US physicians.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cross-sectional study, data for this secondary analysis of 4424 physicians were originally collected from a cross-sectional survey of US physicians between October 12, 2017, and March 15, 2018.

Resilience and Burnout Among Physicians and the General US Working Population.

Importance: The prevalence of physician burnout is well documented, and resilience training has been proposed as an option to support physician well-being. However, the resilience of physicians compared with that of the US working population is not established, and the association between resilience and physician burnout is not well understood.

Objectives: To evaluate resilience among physicians and US workers, and to determine the association between resilience and burnout among US physicians.

Association of Perceived Electronic Health Record Usability With Patient Interactions and Work-Life Integration Among US Physicians.

This cross-sectional survey assesses the association of perceived electronic health record usability with patient interaction and work-life integration among US physicians.

The Association Between Perceived Electronic Health Record Usability and Professional Burnout Among US Physicians.

Objective: To describe and benchmark physician-perceived electronic health record (EHR) usability as defined by a standardized metric of technology usability and evaluate the association with professional burnout among physicians.

Participants And Methods: This cross-sectional survey of US physicians from all specialty disciplines was conducted between October 12, 2017, and March 15, 2018, using the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile. Among the 30,456 invited physicians, 5197 (17.
