Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed demographic data from academic radiology faculty to evaluate rank equity by gender and race/ethnicity from 2000 to 2023.
- It found that the percentage of women faculty increased but disparities remained, particularly for underrepresented minorities (URM) and Asian women, in terms of rank equity.
- The study concluded that while progress was made for women, significant barriers still exist for URM and Asian faculty, necessitating targeted efforts to promote diversity within the field.
Association between albumin-corrected anion gap and kidney function in individuals with hypertension - NHANES 2009-2016 cycle.

Department of Ultrasound, The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and kidney function in patients with long-term hypertension to understand how ACAG affects the risk of kidney issues.
- Data from 1988 hypertensive participants were analyzed using various statistical methods, revealing a significant, non-linear relationship between ACAG and measures of kidney function (eGFR and ACR).
- The findings suggest that higher ACAG levels independently increase the risk of kidney function decline, making ACAG a potential new biomarker for predicting kidney issues in hypertensive patients.
Prevalence and Impact of Recurrent Rejection on Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients: A PHTS Multi-Institutional Analysis.
J Am Coll Cardiol
November 2024
Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA.
Background: Studies evaluating the prevalence and impact of recurrent rejection (RR) in pediatric heart transplant (HT) are sparse.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe prevalence and impact of RR on cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and graft loss after pediatric HT.
Methods: Data on HT from January 1, 2000, to June 30, 2020, in the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society database were included.
Association of urinary albumin excretion with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a national prospective study.
Front Immunol
October 2024
Department of Rheumatology, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, China.
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients suffering from chronic renal insufficiency tend to exhibit subtle manifestations at the beginning. Urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) is a sensitive indicator for early assessment of renal function. However, it is unclear whether it serves as an independent risk factor influencing the prognosis of RA patients.

Background: Guided by the reserve capacity model, we evaluated the unique relationships between socioeconomic status (SES), reserve capacity (helplessness, self-efficacy, social support), and negative emotions on pain in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Methods: The secondary analysis used baseline, cross-sectional data from 106 adults in a clinical trial comparing behavioral treatments for RA. Patients were eligible if they were ≥ 18 years old, met the ACR criteria for RA (determined by study rheumatologist), had stable disease and drug regimens for 3 months, and did not have a significant comorbid condition.
