Crafting the Future Doctor: Mentorship in the First Year of Medical School.

The Clinically Reimagined Apprenticeship For Physician Training (CRAFT) program is a volunteer, student-run, clinical mentorship program that started in 2015 at an academic medical center in the Mid-Atlantic region. Clinical exposure during the first year of medical school may influence a student's decision to pursue internal medicine for their residency program of choice. A retrospective chart analysis of CRAFT program volunteers was conducted.

Comparison of Cytokine Responses (IL-21, IL-12, IL-13) in -Stimulated PBMC in Asthma and Non-Asthma.

Objective: () is a gram-negative intracellular bacterium that causes respiratory infections in humans. is responsible for cell activation and production of cytokines that may contribute to inflammatory responses in asthma. Cell-mediated immune responses are important for protective immunity; however, these responses may be impaired in asthma.

CD8+CD60+T Cells and Disease Progression in Children Livingwith HIV.

Objective: CD60 is a T cell marker expressed on blood lymphocytes. CD8+CD60+ T cells may play a role in inflammatory responses due to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). Our laboratory demonstrated that CD8+CD60+ T cells are higher in HIV positive compared with HIV negative subjects.

Viral Load Suppression in People Living with HIV Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brooklyn, New York.

Consistent care is crucial for the health maintenance of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH). The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic disrupted patient care in New York City (NYC), yet few studies investigated the association between COVID-19 and viral load suppression in PWH in NYC. This study aims to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted HIV viral load and CD4 + T-cell counts in PWH.
