Doctors of Tomorrow: Evaluating the effectiveness and impact of a virtual medical pipeline program during the COVID-19 pandemic Open
Background Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) is a medical student-run pipeline program between the University of Michigan Medical School and high schools in Detroit, MI. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was offered virtually for the firs…

Independent predictors and timing of portomesenteric vein thrombosis after bariatric surgery Open
Independent predictors of PVT include a prior history of venous thromboembolism, liver disease, undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, and experiencing a serious postoperative complication. Given that the incidence of PVT is most common within the…

Vigilance, Resilience, and Intent to Pursue Medicine Among Underrepresented Students Open
It is crucial that we understand what challenges still exist for underrepresented in medicine (URiM) students on the path to medicine in order to design more effective pipeline programs. Resilience and its relationship to success in medici…

Advanced glycation end-products regulate extracellular matrix-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk in diabetes Open
The adipose tissue extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates adipocyte cellular metabolism and is altered in obesity and type 2 diabetes, but mechanisms underlying ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk are poorly defined. Advanced glycation end-pro…

Association of Race With Bariatric Surgery Outcomes Open
Black patients undergoing bariatric surgery in Michigan had significantly higher rates of 30-day complications and resource utilization and experienced lower weight loss at 1 year than a matched cohort of white patients. While sleep apnea …

Factors Associated With Achieving a Body Mass Index of Less Than 30 After Bariatric Surgery Open
Patients with a preoperative BMI of less than 40 are more likely to achieve a BMI of less than 30 after bariatric surgery and are more likely to experience comorbidity remission. Policies and practice patterns that delay bariatric surgery …

Adipocyte hypertrophy-hyperplasia balance contributes to weight loss after bariatric surgery Open
Predictors of weight loss responses are not well-defined. We hypothesized that adipose tissue phenotypic features related to remodeling would be associated with bariatric surgery weight loss responses. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tis…

Diabetes-Specific Regulation of Adipocyte Metabolism by the Adipose Tissue Extracellular Matrix Open
DM is associated with adipocyte metabolic dysfunction. The ECM regulates adipocyte metabolism. Nondiabetic ECM rescues metabolic dysfunction in DM adipocytes, whereas DM ECM imparts features of metabolic dysfunction to nondiabetic adipocyt…

Adipose tissue fibrosis, hypertrophy, and hyperplasia: Correlations with diabetes in human obesity Open
Objective The relationship between adipose tissue fibrosis, adipocyte hypertrophy, and preadipocyte hyperplasia in the context of obesity and the correlation of these tissue‐based phenomena with systemic metabolic disease are poorly define…
