Virtual interviews may limit an applicant's ability to ascertain the culture of a training program. No-stakes campus visits (NSCVs) have been offered but their value is unknown. The purpose of our study was to determine factors that influence applicants' rank lists and determine barriers to and perceptions of NSCVs and their impact on applicants' final rank lists.

Article Synopsis
  • Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy allows safe lung transplants from HCV-viremic donors (D+) to aviremic recipients (D-), but midterm outcomes were previously unclear.
  • A study of 500 lung transplant patients (2018-2022) found no significant differences in patient and graft survival between D+ and D- groups at 1 and 2 years post-transplant.
  • The research concluded that using HCV-viremic organs in selected patients is safe and does not lead to additional complications or different rejection rates compared to aviremic organs.

Background: Pediatric residents frequently manage critically ill neonates but have limited systematic training in mechanical ventilation (MV). Competing demands, varying learner levels, and topic complexity contribute to inconsistent education. A blended learning approach may be ideally suited to achieve meaningful learning but has not been described for this topic and learner.

Disease-causing variants have been identified for less than 20% of suspected equine genetic diseases. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) allows rapid identification of rare disease causal variants. However, interpreting the clinical variant consequence is confounded by the number of predicted deleterious variants that healthy individuals carry (predicted genetic burden).
