AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: As more pharmacy students are pursuing postgraduate training, colleges of pharmacy are investigating ways to predict success in matching for residency or fellowship. While data have been published about characteristics predictive of matching, we sought to study student scores, rotation types, and rotation evaluations as predictors of success.
Methods: Data were collected from students in the graduating classes of 2021, 2022, and 2023. Students were surveyed on participation in mock interviews, numbers of programs to which they applied, and number of interviews received. In addition, data were collected on impostor phenomenon, grit, perceived stress, anxiety, grade point average (GPA), types of patient care rotations, and preceptor evaluations.
Results: Overall, 295 students were included, with 69 unsuccessful and 226 successful students. Successful students were more likely to have lower Perceived Stress Scale-10 scores in the final 3 semesters of school, a higher GPA, more elective patient care rotations, and more preceptors who answered "Yes" to "Would you hire this student?" after graduation. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, final GPA and preceptors answering affirmatively to "Would you hire this student?" were independent predictors of success in obtaining a postgraduate position.
Conclusion: As colleges of pharmacy prepare students for postgraduate residencies or fellowships, in addition to GPA, stress levels during the final 3 semesters of pharmacy school may be areas on which to focus. Given that willingness of a preceptor to hire a student after graduation was a predictor of success in securing a postgraduate position, this should be explored in future research.

Background: Breastfeeding is the optimal source of nutrition for infants and young children, essential for their healthy growth and development. However, a gap in cohort studies tracking breastfeeding up to six months postpartum may lead caregivers to miss critical intervention opportunities.
Methods: This study conducted a three-wave prospective cohort analysis to examine maternal breastfeeding trajectories within the first six months postpartum and to develop risk prediction models for each period using advanced machine learning algorithms.
Background: Catheter ablation is the primary treatment option for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT). It plays a key role in acute therapy of electrical storm, treatment of VTs in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), and can reduce VT burden. Here we report on 10-year clinical outcomes following VT ablation from patients enrolled in the prospective German Ablation Registry.

Background: Infectious complications associated with implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) can be devastating and may lead to reconstructive failure. While there are known demographic risk factors for reconstructive failure, few studies have identified intraoperative findings that predict failure after attempted salvage.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify intraoperative findings in infected breasts that may be predictive of implant failure.
Combined collaterals and hemodynamic features to predict the prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

Department of Neurology, Jinling Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China
Background: Despite successful recanalization via mechanical thrombectomy (MT), only half of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients achieve functional independence. Post-MT hemodynamic features are insufficiently investigated, and the lack of bilateral comparisons limits individual assessment. Therefore, we aimed to explore how individualized hemodynamic features affect functional outcomes using quantitative digital subtraction angiography (Q-DSA).

Objective: Aim: To identify and evaluate the risk factors affecting the success of single-stage laparoscopic treatment for choledocholithiasis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of treatment of 139 patients who underwent single-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration and cholecystectomy from 2018 to 2024. Data were analysed by the use of multivariate logistic regression to identify significant predictors of negative outcomes.
