Publication Race the Battle for Residency in a Competitive Landscape
No full textResearch plays a significant role in the residency match, particularly after the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 changed from a score-based exam to pass/fail scoring. This study shows the impact of research on the match between 2009 and 2024, categorized by specialties and residency competitiveness. Residency specialties were categorized according to competitiveness (high, medium, and low), according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-test, two-way repeated measures analysis of variance, and post hoc pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni correction to examine differences in research experiences and outputs across specialties. The total number of US senior applicants increased from 14,697 in 2009 to 18,801 in 2024, with US-matched applicants rising from 13,453 to 16,891. The overall match rate did not significantly change. Research experiences and outputs significantly increased, with the mean number of research experiences rising 180% (2.44–4.38; P \u3c 0.001) and publications 365% (3.82–13.98; P \u3c 0.001). Analysis of variance showed that highly competitive specialties had the largest increases in both research experiences, 195% (3.03–5.92; P \u3c 0.001) and publications, 405% (5.46–22.14; P \u3c 0.001). Our study showed that research has become increasingly essential to the match, particularly in highly competitive specialties. Our findings illustrate the key priorities in residency applications and demonstrate the expanding importance of research within the match

Cardiac Allograft Rejection Strategies for Success in the Face of Immune Challenges
No full textHeart transplantation for patients with end-stage heart failure refractory to medical therapy has remained definitive treatment with significant advances in posttransplant care. Despite improvement in postoperative morbidity and mortality, acute cellular rejection (ACR) and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) remain substantial challenges that can lead to allograft failure and patient mortality. Immunosuppressive agents have been the mainstay of both prevention and treatment for ACR and AMR; however, many challenges exist with traditional therapies. There are a multitude of molecular pathways involved in mediating the humoral and cellular response to rejection, offering various targets for treatment. This review summarizes therapies used in the management of ACR and AMR as extrapolated from use in induction therapy and treatment of other solid-organ transplant rejection. Future studies focused on cardiac transplant recipients are needed to expand therapeutic options
Left Atrial Appendage Closure: What Do We Know?
No full textAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the United States and the most common cause of embolic cerebrovascular events, with the majority of these thrombi originating in the left atrial appendage. The left atrial appendage (LAA) has separate developmental, ultrastructural, and physiological characteristics from the left atrium. Although LAA anatomy is highly variable, it can be categorized into 4 types: cactus, cauliflower, chicken wing, and windsock. The cauliflower type is associated with higher stroke risk in patients with nonvalvular AF. Although the cornerstone of therapy to prevent embolic strokes from AF has been anticoagulation with thrombin inhibitors, a large group of patients are unable to tolerate anticoagulation due to bleeding. This has led to the development and advancement of multiple surgical and percutaneous LAA closure devices to prevent embolic cerebrovascular accidents without the need for anticoagulation. In this article, we discuss the outcomes of major studies that utilized surgical LAA occlusion and its effectiveness. Furthermore, we summarize nonsurgical methods of LAA closure and future directions regarding LAA closure
