Prostate Specific Antigen Testing Behaviors for Prostate Cancer Screening Among U.S. Immigrants: A Cross-sectional Analysis Using the National Health Interview Survey.

Purpose: Immigrants constitute 14% of the U.S. population, and this group is especially vulnerable to poor health care access.

Association between Surgery, Anesthesia, and Obstetric Workforce and Emergent Surgical and Obstetric Mortality among United States Hospital Referral Regions.

Objective: To determine the association between SAO workforce and mortality from emergent surgical and obstetric conditions within US HR Rs.

Background: SAO workforce per capita has been identified as a core metric of surgical capacity by the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, but its utility has not been assessed at the subnational level for a high-income country.

Methods: The number of practicing surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetricians per capita was estimated for all HRRs using the US Health Resources & Services Administration Area Health Resource File Database.

Gender-Based Microaggressions in Surgery: A Scoping Review of the Global Literature.

Background: In addition to systemic gender disparities, women in surgery encounter interpersonal microaggressions. The objective of this study is to describe the most common forms of microaggressions reported by women in surgery.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review using PubMed/MEDLINE, Ovid, and Web of Science to describe the international, indexed English-language literature on gender-based microaggressions experienced by female surgeons, surgical trainees, and medical students in surgery.

Patient experience studies in the circumpolar region: a scoping review.

Objectives: Patient experiences with health systems constitute a crucial pillar of quality care. Across the Arctic, patients' interactions with the healthcare system are influenced by challenges of access, historical inequities and social determinants. This scoping review sought to describe the range and nature of peer-reviewed literature on patient experience studies conducted within the circumpolar region.

Hydraulic control of tuna fins: A role for the lymphatic system in vertebrate locomotion.

The lymphatic system in teleost fish has genetic and developmental origins similar to those of the mammalian lymphatic system, which is involved in immune response and fluid homeostasis. Here, we show that the lymphatic system of tunas functions in swimming hydrodynamics. Specifically, a musculo-vascular complex, consisting of fin muscles, bones, and lymphatic vessels, is involved in the hydraulic control of median fins.
