"See Me as Human:" Reflections on an Experiential Curriculum Led by People With Lived Experience of Incarceration.

Improving physical and mental healthcare delivery to incarcerated patients and people with carceral histories provides an opportunity to improve health equity more broadly. This article provides a medical curriculum perspective led by the firsthand narratives of two women with lived expertise of incarceration in collaboration with interdisciplinary health professions students and faculty. Together we state that recognizing the humanity of individuals with carceral involvement precedes the ability to provide ethical or equitable healthcare: this humanity begins with students and the community sharing places and spaces together.

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Cardiovascular Events in Adults With CKD: The CRIC Study.

Rationale & Objective: In the general population, neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) has been found to be associated with cardiovascular risk, but this relationship has not been well studied among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study seeked to evaluate the association between neighborhood SES and cardiovascular outcomes in a CKD cohort.

Study Design: Multicenter prospective cohort.

Trends in Co-morbid Dementia and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Background: Little is known about the population of Medicare beneficiaries with both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).

Methods: Using data from Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries aged 65 and over identified through 2011-2019 Master Beneficiary Summary File (MBSF), we estimated the size, growth, and racial-ethnic characteristics of the ADRD and CKD populations. Individuals were classified as having ADRD and CKD based on CMS Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse (CCW) indicators in the MBSF Chronic Conditions file.

Oncological Outcomes From Cytoreductive Surgery and Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer Peritoneal Metastases.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is effective for colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRPM) at increasing overall survival (OS) compared to systemic anticancer treatment (SACT) alone. The addition of Oxaliplatin heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been shown in a randomized controlled trial to result in increased complications without significant OS benefit. This study evaluates outcomes for CRPM patients undergoing CRS+HIPEC with Oxaliplatin (Ox) 368mg/m (30 min), versus Mitomycin C (MMC) 35mg/m (90min).

Comparison of gene expression and polycyclic aromatic compound profiles in hepatic tissue of black guillemot (Cepphus grylle) collected from an oil spill site and a non-spill site in the Arctic.

Economic development, marine transportation, and oil exploration are all activities that are increasing in the Arctic region, and there is concern regarding increased oil-related contaminants entering this sensitive environment. Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are the main chemical constituents in oil-related contaminants and have been detected in wildlife species following both acute and chronic exposure. In 2020, an oil spill occurred in Kaikopok Bay near Postville, NL, Canada.
