Article Synopsis
- The objective of the review was to assess and enhance research training during surgical residency to better align with modern surgical education and academic demands.
- The research identified a significant gap in standardized research training across surgical programs, with dedicated scholarly activity proving beneficial for residents.
- Recommendations include establishing minimum standards and flexible training options to ensure future surgeons are well-prepared for academic practice.
HIV-1 Gag polyprotein plays a pivotal role in assembly and budding of new particles, by specifically packaging two copies of viral gRNA in the host cell cytoplasm and selecting the cell plasma membrane for budding. Both gRNA and membrane selections are thought to be mediated by the compact form of Gag. This compact form binds to gRNA through both its matrix (MA) and nucleocapsid (NC) domains in the cytoplasm.

Methods: We performed a longitudinal prospective cohort study of older adults undergoing initial thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. We administered the Dysphagia Handicap Index questionnaire preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.
Objective: To create a blueprint for surgical department leaders, academic institutions, and funding agencies to optimally support surgeon-scientists.
Background: Scientific contributions by surgeons have been transformative across many medical disciplines. Surgeon-scientists provide a distinct approach and mindset toward key scientific questions.
