Morbidity and Mortality Caused by Noncompliance With California Hospital Licensure: Immediate Jeopardies in California Hospitals, 2007-2017.

Objective: The California Department of Public Health investigates compliance with hospital licensure and issues an administrative penalty when there is an immediate jeopardy. Immediate jeopardies are situations in which a hospital's noncompliance of licensure requirements causes serious injury or death to patient. In this study, we critically examine immediate jeopardies between 2007 and 2017 in California.

Prevalence of Traditional Asian Postpartum Practices at a Federally Qualified Health Center.

To evaluate the knowledge of, participation in, attitudes towards, and experiences with "doing the month" (DTM), a traditional Chinese and Vietnamese postpartum practice, at a federally qualified health center that serves predominantly Asian immigrants. DTM practices revolve around the balance between yin and yang and include practices such as the mother remaining on bed rest for as long as possible, restricting diet to certain foods, and avoiding visitors and social activities. A cross-sectional survey in Chinese, Vietnamese, and English was developed to determine the prevalence of women who have heard of and participated in DTM.

Formal Mentorship as an Opportunity to Expand the Urology Pipeline: Under Represented Trainees Entering Residency (UReTER) Program Evaluation 2020-2021.

Objective: To rank percentages of underrepresented residents in surgical subspecialties and understand the experience of mentees and mentors who participated in the inaugural University of California, San Francisco Urology UnderRepresented Trainees Entering Residency (UReTER) Mentorship Program for Black, Indigenous, and/or LatinX medical students applying into urology.

Methods: Medical student mentees across the country were recruited via social media and email listservs. Demographic information and photos of mentors were presented on the UReTER website.

Association of Bicycle-Related Genital Numbness and Female Sexual Dysfunction: Results From a Large, Multinational, Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Cycling can lead to microtrauma due to increased perineal pressure, possibly contributing to genital numbness and sexual dysfunction in female cyclists.

Aim: We aim to explore the associations between cycling characteristics, female genital numbness, and female sexual dysfunction.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on female cyclists and sexual wellness.

Rates of Serious Surgical Errors in California and Plans to Prevent Recurrence.

Importance: Despite widespread recognition and known harms, serious surgical errors, known as surgical never events, endure. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has developed an oversight system to capture never events and a platform for process improvement that has not yet been critically appraised.

Objectives: To examine surgical never events occurring in hospitals in California and summarize recommendations to prevent future events.

Skin Grafting Applications in Urology.

Skin grafting is a closure technique widely used in plastic surgery. Urologists may encounter patients with diseases that lead to severe tissue loss due to infection, trauma, burns, malignancy, skin maladies, or primary lymphedema. The development and study of skin harvesting techniques to manage tissue coverage of burns has allowed for great advances and the widening application of skin grafting.

Why Physicians Don't Ask: Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Barriers to HIV Testing-Making a Case for a Patient-Initiated Campaign.

In 2006, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended HIV testing for all adolescents and adults aged 13 to 64 in health care settings with a HIV prevalence of at least 0.1%. However, 55% of US adults have never been tested and therefore do not know their HIV status.

In the routine HIV testing era, primary care physicians in community health centers remain unaware of HIV testing recommendations.

Background: Despite the 2006 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for routine HIV testing in health care settings, many persons remain untested.

Physician barriers to successful implementation of US Preventive Services Task Force routine HIV testing recommendations.

In 2006, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued recommendations supporting routine HIV testing in health care settings for all persons aged 13 to 64 years. Despite these recommendations, physicians are not offering HIV testing routinely. We apply a model that has previously identified 3 central, inter-related factors (knowledge-, attitude-, and behavior-related barriers) for why physicians do not follow practice guidelines in order to better understand why physicians are not offering HIV testing routinely.
