Background: Simulation-based education is a mainstay in education of pediatric anesthesiology trainees. Despite the known benefits, there is variability in its use and availability among various pediatric anesthesiology fellowship programs.
Aim: The primary aim was to understand the current state of simulation-based education among pediatric anesthesiology fellowship programs and define barriers that impede the development of an effective simulation program.
Methods: This survey-based, observational study of simulation activities within United States-based pediatric anesthesiology fellowship programs was approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) of the authors' institutions. A 35-question survey was developed in an iterative manner by simulation educators (AA, WW, DY) and a statistician familiar with survey-based research (AN) using research electronic data capture (REDCap) for tool development and data collation. Descriptive and thematic analyses were performed on the quantitative and qualitative responses in the survey, respectively, and were stratified with small, medium, and large fellowship programs.
Results: Forty-five of 60 (75%) fellowship programs responded to the survey. The presence of a dedicated simulation program director and number of simulation instructors was positively associated with the size of program and years in operation. Dedicated simulation support was variable across programs and was usually present within the larger programs. A positive association also existed for educational activities among all programs mostly based on size of program and years in operation. Protected time was the most commonly cited barrier to having a comprehensive and sustainable simulation program. There was general agreement for establishing a standardized and shared curriculum among fellowship programs. Approximately 70% of simulation programs had no formal simulation instructor training requirement.
Conclusions: Simulation-based curricula are broadly offered by many fellowship programs. Improved collaboration locally, regionally, and nationally may improve educational opportunities for fellowship programs, particularly the small ones. These efforts may begin with the development of a standardized curriculum and formal instructor training programs.

Species identification of botanical products is a crucial aspect of research and regulatory compliance; however, botanical classification can be difficult, especially for morphologically similar species with overlapping genetic and metabolomic markers, like those in the genus Ocimum. Untargeted LC-MS metabolomics coupled with multivariate predictive modeling provides a potential avenue for improving herbal identity investigations, but the current dearth of reference materials for many botanicals limits the applicability of these approaches. This study investigated the potential of using greenhouse-grown authentic Ocimum to build predictive models for classifying commercially available Ocimum products.

Objectives: Tooth dimensions typically scale with mandibular and postcranial size in primates, although the exact pattern of scaling varies. This study assesses whether correlations by tissue type, anatomical region, or function (mastication or intrasexual competition) are present and could therefore act as evolutionary constraints on tooth-jaw-body size relationships by estimating genetic and phenotypic correlations between dental, mandibular, and postcranial dimensions in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
Materials And Methods: The teeth, mandibles, and postcrania of 362 adults from the Cayo Santiago skeletal collection were measured.

Background: While patients are assessed for their ability to tolerate surgery through physiologic evaluations such as pulmonary function tests, ventilation-perfusion scans, and exercising testing, some patients still require home oxygen therapy after pulmonary resection. It is not well understood what the associated risk factors are, how long patients need supplemental oxygen, and if this requirement is associated with worse long-term outcomes. Given these knowledge gaps, we sought to conduct a systematic review of pulmonary resections and new postoperative home oxygen requirement.

For over a century, we have appreciated that the biochemical processes through which micro- and macronutrients are anabolized and catabolized-collectively referred to as "cellular metabolism"-are reprogrammed in malignancies. Cancer cells in lung tumors rewire pathways of nutrient acquisition and metabolism to meet the bioenergetic demands for unchecked proliferation. Advances in precision medicine have ushered in routine genotyping of patient lung tumors, enabling a deeper understanding of the contribution of altered metabolism to tumor biology and patient outcomes.
