Trauma is the leading cause of pediatric and adolescent morbidity and mortality. Firearm-related injuries and deaths contribute substantially to the overall disease burden. This study described the intent, location, demographics, and outcomes of a nationally representative pediatric population with firearm injuries. We hypothesized that younger pat...

Neonates are susceptible to postoperative wound complications (POWCs), as prematurity, hypoxia, steroid use, immunosuppression, and malnutrition are all common comorbidities. Critically ill infants, dependent on parenteral nutrition, are at even further risk of developing essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD). We hypothesized that POWC severity an...

Surgical simulation-based training (SBT) can increase resident confidence and improve performance. SBT in pediatric surgery is in its infancy and often geared toward training pediatric surgery fellows. Since case volume for various pediatric surgery-specific procedures can be low based on the rarity of the pathology involved and the level of care p...

Breast cancer (BC) is common cancer in female globally. Sevoflurane (SEV) has been reported to inhibit the metastasis of multiple cancers, including glioma, colorectal cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the role of SEV in the metastasis of BC cells remains poorly understood. Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to dete...

RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) is an important cold shock protein, which also responds to hypothermia or hypoxia. RBM3 is involved into multiple physiologic processes, such as promoting cell survival. However, its expression and function in acute lung injury (ALI) have not been reported. A mouse ALI model was established by lipopolysaccharides ...

In 2017 the ACGME enacted new regulations requiring sponsoring institutions to ensure "safe transportation options for residents who may be too fatigued to safely return home." We investigate here the impact of a pilot "Safe Ride" program designed to mitigate the risks of fatigued driving. During a 2-month pilot period at a single university-affili...

Hirschsprung-Associated Enterocolitis (HAEC) is a life-threatening and difficult to diagnose complication of Hirschsprung Disease (HSCR). The goal of this study was to evaluate existing HAEC scoring systems and develop a new scoring system. Retrospective, multi-institutional data collection was performed. For each patient, all encounters were analy...

Anastomotic leaks are a dreaded complication after colorectal surgery. Although anastomotic leak is often used as a metric to compare patient outcomes, a standard definition does not exist. A web-based survey was developed and distributed to US surgeons. Respondents were queried on the definition of anastomotic leaks using a 5-point Likert scale to...

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) may mitigate physiological stress related to surgery. There is no clear consensus on conduct of RIPC studies, or whether it is effective. The aim of this study was to (i) assess delivery of RIPC, (ii) identify reported outcomes, (iii) measure effect on key clinical outcomes. This review was registered on PROSP...

Prospective resident entrustment (i.e., trust an attending surgeon intends to give to a resident in the near future) in the operating room (OR) closely associates with granted future autonomy. However, the process of determining resident entrustment takes time and effort. Thus, this study aimed to assess the efficiency of granting incremental resid...
