Effects of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education work hour restrictions on medical student experience.

Background: Residents have a major role in teaching students, yet little has been written about the effects of resident work hour restrictions on medical student education.

Objective: Our objective was to determine the effects of resident work hour restrictions on medical student education.

Design: We compared student responses pre work hour restrictions with those completed post work hour restrictions.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease: a prospective cohort study.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (CGVHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We studied 159 patients with CGVHD longitudinally to characterize the natural history of CGVHD and identify reliable predictors of response and long-term mortality. Rates of response to treatment were 61%, 53%, and 50% at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively.
