AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigates the link between hiring factors and the long-term success of physicians in an academic hospital internal medicine division, aiming to provide data for better recruitment and retention decisions.
  • - Findings reveal that female physicians tend to have longer tenures, U.S. medical graduates are more likely to attain leadership roles than international counterparts, and there's a negative correlation between research productivity and administrative leadership roles.
  • - The results suggest that traditional hiring criteria may not predict long-term success, indicating that research and leadership paths in academic medicine might function independently.

Article Abstract

Background: Considerable resources are expended by hospitals to recruit and retain physicians that will be successful. Healthcare managers lack data to guide these decisions. In that vacuum, suppositions regarding what attributes contribute to physician success predominate.

Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between candidate factors known at the time of hiring and subsequent longevity and success of physicians in an academic division of hospital internal medicine.

Research Design: A retrospective review of all physicians hired in an academic hospital internal medicine division. Measures of longevity, research productivity, academic promotion and division leadership roles were compared to personal and professional characteristics at the time of hiring. Success was quantified in those four domains and associations explored for between success and hiring factors.

Results: Female physicians had greater longevity at the institution. Physicians from the hospital region were no more likely to stay long-term as compared to those from other regions. United States medical graduates were more likely to attain leadership positions than international graduates. There was an inverse relationship between research productivity and administrative leadership.

Conclusions: Factors commonly sought by academic healthcare institutions were not associated with long term success in academic hospital medicine. Less research productivity was associated with greater divisional leadership involvement, suggesting that scholarship and administrative leadership may represent separate tracks for physicians at academic institutions.

Statement Of The Problem: One of the most important factors in the clinical longevity of composite resin restorations is proper adhesion, which is achieved using phosphoric acid. Different phosphoric acid products might affect the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to enamel.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to sound enamel using six different brands of acid-etch agents.

Demands for animal products are projected to increase in the future, and animal production is key to agricultural sustainability and food security; consequently, enhancing ruminant livestock production efficiencies in sustainable ways is a major goal for the livestock industry. Developmental programming is the concept that various stressors, including compromised maternal nutrition during critical developmental windows will result in both short- and long-term changes in the offspring. Ruminant models of developmental programming indicate that compromised maternal nutrition, including global under and over-nutrition, macronutrients, and specific micronutrients, including amino acids (Met and Arg), vitamins (folate, B, and choline), and minerals (sulfur, cobalt, and selenium) can alter offspring outcomes.

Objectives: We aimed to predict dyslipidemia risk in elderly Chinese adults using machine learning and dietary analysis for public health.

Study Design: This cross-sectional study includes 13,668 Chinese adults aged 65 or older from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.

Methods: Dyslipidemia prediction was carried out using a variety of machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Adaptive Boosting Classifier (AdaBoost), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM), and K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), as well as conventional logistic regression (LR).

Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products are one such factor that accumulates during aging and age-related diseases. However, how exogenous AGE compounds cause aging is an area that needs to be explored. Specifically, how an organ undergoes aging and aging-related phenomena that need further investigation.
