Angus steers ( = 160) with an initial body weight of 474.4 kg were fed a steam-flaked wheat and barley ration for 200 d in a large, commercial feedlot.

Clinical Outcomes in Patients Who Received a One-Time Aminoglycoside Dose for Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales or Cystitis.

The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends a single dose of an aminoglycoside for uncomplicated cystitis caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) and difficult-to-treat . However, there is very little recent clinical evidence to support this recommendation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single-dose aminoglycoside for cystitis caused by ESBL-E or .

Rh immune globulin immunoprophylaxis after RhD-positive red cell exposure in RhD-negative patients via transfusion: A survey of practices.

Background: Current Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) standards require transfusion services to have a policy on Rh immune globulin (RhIG) immunoprophylaxis for when RhD-negative patients are exposed to RhD-positive red cells. This is a survey of AABB-accredited transfusion services in the United States (US) regarding institutional policies and practices on RhIG immunoprophylaxis after RhD-negative patients receive RhD-positive (i.e.

Continued Positive Job Search Experience for New Pathologists Seeking First Employment During the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2022).

Context.—: As pathologists retire and leave the field, it is critical to accurately capture employment trends for new-in-practice pathologists. There is always interest in the job market for newly graduated pathology trainees and prospective pathology trainees, but it is unclear how the COVID-19 pandemic may have affected the job search experience.

Leadership perspectives on osteopathic medical school applicants to pathology residency training.

The number of graduating allopathic (MD) medical students matching into pathology has declined in recent years, while the number of osteopathic (DO) medical students has increased modestly, given the rapid expansion of osteopathic medical schools. Nonscholarly publications and materials on the internet often perpetuate negative perceptions of osteopathic physicians. Anecdotally, perspectives exist that some pathology residency programs are not DO-friendly; however, the reasons and how widespread an effect this might be are unclear.

The phenotype of pathology residency program directors.

Pathology residency programs vary greatly across the United States. To the authors' knowledge, little is formally known about the "phenotype" or career pathways of pathology residency program directors (PDs). PDs, former PDs (FPDs), and associate PDs (APDs) were surveyed, aiming to address whether or not dominant phenotypes or pathways to graduate medical education leadership exist.

How influential are medical school curriculum and other medical school characteristics in students' selecting pathology as a specialty?

There has been a significant decline in the number of United States allopathic medical students matching to pathology residency programs. Data acquired from the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) show sustained variation in the medical school production of students who go on to pathology residency. When divided into groups based on the medical school's historical volume of graduates entering pathology, the schools in groups labeled Group 1 and Group 2 produced significantly higher and lower proportions of pathology residents, respectively.

Experiential exposure as the key to recruiting medical students into pathology.

Medical student interest and pursuit of a career in pathology have been steadily declining since 2015. We conducted three separate surveys of medical students to better understand these trends. In our first survey, we focused on assessing U.

The phenotype of academic pathology chairs.

Academic pathology departments across the United States vary greatly in terms of size, clinical workloads and research activity. It is therefore not surprising that their chairs may be an equally diverse group. However, to our knowledge, little is formally known about the "phenotype" (academic credentials, leadership background, and subspecialty focus) or career pathways of these individuals.

A case of mistaken MELD (model for end stage liver disease) score-How an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction falsely altered a patient's transplant status.

Background: An acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) caused by intravascular hemolysis features a decrease in hemoglobin/hematocrit, reduced haptoglobin, and increases in creatinine, and bilirubin. Acute intravascular hemolysis carries its own morbidity and mortality, especially in the setting of a patient liver disease related pre-existing alterations in hemostasis. Additionally, AHTR significantly impacts the laboratory values used in calculating the Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and thus liver transplant status.

Factors influencing US osteopathic medical students to choose pathology as a specialty.

The decline in the number of US allopathic (Medical Doctor or M.D.) medical students matching to pathology residency has been a topic of much discussion at national pathology professional society meetings and in recent publications.

Moderated Mediation of the eCHECKUP TO GO College Student Cannabis Use Intervention.

Cannabis use rates are rising among college students, creating a need for effective and accessible intervention options. One such intervention, the Marijuana eCHECKUP TO GO (eCTG) program, has relatively few studies investigating mechanisms of change and related outcomes. This intervention provides users with personalized normative feedback to adjust user's normative perceptions and use patterns.

Mechanisms of change in an adapted marijuana e-CHECKUP TO GO intervention on decreased college student cannabis use.

The objective of this study was to test indirect effects of the Marijuana e-CHECKUP TO GO program on college students' frequent marijuana use through decreased use in specific social and academic activities. This study randomly assigned college students who reported frequent marijuana use (i.e.

Evaluation of changes in drug susceptibility and population genetic structure in Haemonchus contortus following worm replacement as a means to reverse the impact of multiple-anthelmintic resistance on a sheep farm.

A population of Haemonchus contortus that was highly resistant to benzimidazoles and avermectin/milbemycins with a subpopulation that was resistant to levamisole, was replaced with a susceptible laboratory isolate of H. contortus in a flock of sheep. The anthelmintic susceptibility and population genetics of the newly established population were evaluated for 3.

Positive Job Search Experience for New Pathologists Seeking First Employment Between 2017 and 2019.

Context.—: An aging population calls for an adequate response in the workforce of medical professionals. The field of pathology has seen a downward trend in numbers of graduating US allopathic medical students choosing the specialty.

A Systematic Review of Community Engagement Outcomes Research in School-Based Health Interventions.

Background: Involving communities in school health has been purported as a practice integral to supporting a Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) approach. Although community collaboration is often included in school-based health initiatives, there is little research considering methods for increasing community engagement. The purpose of this study was to identify effective school-based health interventions documenting changes in community engagement.

Factors Influencing US Allopathic Medical Students to Choose Pathology as a Specialty.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the crucial role of pathologists in the health care system at a time of significant decline in the number of US medical students matching to pathology residency positions. To understand this decline, a national survey of fourth-year US allopathic medical students was conducted to assess experiences, knowledge, and attitudes of pathology and factors that impact specialty choice. Participating in a separate pathology course did not increase the probability of choosing pathology.

Using population genetics to examine relationships of Dirofilaria immitis based on both macrocyclic lactone-resistance status and geography.

Prevention of infection with canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is based on the compliant administration of macrocyclic lactone (ML) drugs. Resistance to ML drugs is well documented in D. immitis; however, there remains a paucity of information on the spatial distribution and prevalence of resistant isolates.

Entry of Graduates of US Pathology Residency Programs Into the Workforce: Cohort Data Between 2008 and 2016 Remain Positive and Stable.

The pathologist workforce in the United States is a topic of interest to the health-care community as a whole and to institutions responsible for the training of new pathologists in particular. Although a pathologist shortage has been projected, there has been a pervasive belief by medical students and their advisors that there are "no jobs in pathology." In 2013 and again in 2017, the Program Directors Section of the Association of Pathology Chairs conducted surveys asking pathology residency directors to report the employment status of each of their residents graduating in the previous 5 years.

Clinical approach after identification of a rare anti-Ena in a prenatal sample.

The antigens associated with the MNS blood group system (ISBT 002) are located on glycophorin A (GPA) and glycophorin B (GPB). The most frequently encountered antibodies to antigens in this system by a transfusion medicine service are those directed against M, N, S, and s. Individuals lacking GPA typically have red blood cells that lack M, N, and Ena, whereas those lacking both GPA and GPB lack M, N, and Ena as well as S, s, and U.

An update on the Cartwright (Yt) blood group system.

This update of the Cartwright blood group system (George MR. Cartwright blood group system review. Immunohematology 2012;28:49-54) reports the addition of three new antigens.
