Introduction There are projected workforce shortages within anesthesiology exacerbated by an increase in demand for anesthesia services and an aging anesthesia workforce. Given this mismatch, it is critical for the specialty to recruit the next generation of anesthesiologists and understand the factors affecting medical students' decision to apply to anesthesiology. This study aims to evaluate the impact of establishing a new anesthesiology residency program at a single institution on the number of medical students that match into anesthesiology in the subsequent years.

The structural arrangements of bacterial chromosomes vary widely between closely related species and can result in significant phenotypic outcomes. The appearance of large-scale chromosomal inversions that are symmetric relative to markers for the origin of replication () has been previously observed; however, the overall prevalence of replication-associated structural rearrangements (RASRs) in bacteria and their causal mechanisms are currently unknown. Here, we systematically identify the locations of RASRs in species with multiple complete-sequenced genomes and investigate potential mediating biological mechanisms.

In this setting, there is an expectation to optimize hospital resource use without restricting care delivery. We developed methodology to predict extended cardiac ICU length of stay following surgery for congenital heart disease.

The aim of this article is to determine the clinical course and outcomes in subjects with anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries (AAOCA), particularly after surgical repair. A single-center, retrospective review of patients with AAOCA with right or left interarterial or IM (IA or IM) or intraconal course from 1996-2014. Among 155 patients, median age at diagnosis was 8.
