The National Deficit of Black and Hispanic Physicians in the US and Projected Estimates of Time to Correction.

This cross-sectional study of US population and physician workforce data projects rates at which medical school matriculation would have to increase for Black and Hispanic medical students to reach equal representation in the workforce.

An Observation Medicine Curriculum for Emergency Medicine Education.

Audience And Type Of Curriculum: This curriculum, designed and implemented at the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine at NYU Langone Health, primarily targets third- and fourth-year emergency medicine (EM) residents, and is an immersive observation medicine rotation that can be integrated into existing emergency medicine residency training.

Length Of Curriculum: The curriculum is designed for a dedicated rotation of two weeks for senior residents and can be expanded to 4 weeks.

The circadian gene Rev-erbα improves cellular bioenergetics and provides preconditioning for protection against oxidative stress.

Diurnal oscillations in the expression of antioxidant genes imply that protection against oxidative stress is circadian-gated. We hypothesized that stabilization of the core circadian gene Rev-erbα (Nr1d1) improves cellular bioenergetics and protects against nutrient deprivation and oxidative stress. Compared to WT, mouse lung fibroblasts (MLG) stably transfected with a degradation resistant Rev-erbα (Ser(55/59) to Asp; hence referred to as SD) had 40% higher protein content, 1.

Oxidative stress and inflammation modulate Rev-erbα signaling in the neonatal lung and affect circadian rhythmicity.

Aims: The response to oxidative stress and inflammation varies with diurnal rhythms. Nevertheless, it is not known whether circadian genes are regulated by these stimuli. We evaluated whether Rev-erbα, a key circadian gene, was regulated by oxidative stress and/or inflammation in vitro and in a mouse model.

Silencing hyperoxia-induced C/EBPα in neonatal mice improves lung architecture via enhanced proliferation of alveolar epithelial cells.

Postnatal lung development requires proliferation and differentiation of specific cell types at precise times to promote proper alveolar formation. Hyperoxic exposure can disrupt alveolarization by inhibiting cell growth; however, it is not fully understood how this is mediated. The transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α (C/EBPα) is highly expressed in the lung and plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation in many tissues.
