Too Soon to Breathe Easy: Trends in Asbestosis Morbidity and Mortality in Wisconsin.
J Occup Environ Med
January 2025
From the Occupational Health Safety and Surveillance Program, Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Health, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Madison, Wisconsin (P.D.C., K.E.M., K.K.S.M., C.R.M., S.B.); and Department of Population Health Sciences, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin (P.D.C., K.K.S.M.).
Objectives: This study aimed to describe asbestosis morbidity and mortality in two statewide samples. We considered trends, demographic disparities, and excess mortality.
Methods: We assessed trends and demographic differences in asbestosis morbidity using hospital and emergency department (ED) visits.
Impact of intraoperative adverse events in general and gastrointestinal surgery: A nationwide study.

Division of Trauma, Emergency Surgery & Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) during general surgery can lead to significant morbidity and healthcare burden, yet their impact remains underexplored. We aimed to estimate the nationwide incidence of iAEs in general surgery and explore their associations with mortality, complications, length of stay, and costs.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Nationwide Readmissions Database 2019 and included adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who underwent general surgical procedures.
"Learning from those who know the system inside and out": Experiences of physician mothers who are informal caregivers.
Fam Syst Health
December 2024
Center for Biomedical Ethics, Stanford University School of Medicine.
Background: For physicians, the added responsibility of being an informal caregiver (IC, providing regular care for seriously ill loved ones) can create challenges such as increased rates of burnout that have received little attention. In this study, we explored physician mothers' informal caregiving experiences and probed their perspectives on how health systems can better support their needs.
Method: From September 14, 2021, to October 31, 2021, we distributed an online survey to a national sample of physician mothers who self-identified as ICs; survey questions examined their caregiving responsibilities and perspectives on workplace changes needed to support them.
Introduction: The introduction of-or the transition to-a new electronic health record system (EHR) places an unrecognized burden on health care providers in our ever-changing health care environment of increased mandates, increased overhead, and reduced reimbursement to practice medicine.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to track the non-reimbursed time investment required for 6 providers from an independent spine surgery practice after a hospital system independently decided to transition to a new EHR system.
Results: Between the 6 providers of the practice, 266 hours of required classroom time, in-person training, and video and phone call teaching sessions had to be completed to become "proficient" so that clinical utilization of the system for in-patient care was certified by the hospital trainers and the EHR company.
FGF8 protects against polymicrobial sepsis by enhancing the host's anti-infective immunity.

November 2024
Department of Clinical Laboratory, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University; National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders; Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders. Chongqing Key Laboratory of Pediatric Metabolism and Inflammatory Diseases, Chongqing, China.
Background: Sepsis is characterized by a life-threatening syndrome caused by an unbalanced host response to infection. Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) has been newly identified to play important roles in inflammation and innate immunity, but its role in host response to sepsis is undefined.
Methods: A cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) -induced mouse sepsis model was established to evaluate the immunomodulatory function of FGF8 during sepsis.
