Comparison of Low-Dose Computed Tomography Versus Conventional-Dose Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Distal Radius Fractures Open
Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are common upper extremity fractures and often require surgical fixation when they are intraarticular. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a surgical planning tool to evaluate int…

Identifying Barriers Faced by Applicants without a Home Residency Program when Matching into Plastic Surgery Open
Background Applying into plastic surgery (PS) is competitive. Lacking a home residency program (HRP) is another barrier. Our goal is to characterize challenges faced by PS applicants without HRPs and identify solutions. Methods Surveys wer…

Prevalence of International Medical Graduates in Integrated Plastic Surgery Programs Open
Background: International medical graduates (IMGs) are physicians who did not attend medical school in the USA or Canada. IMGs comprise nearly one-quarter of the physician workforce and play a vital role in health care. Here, we aimed to i…

3D Media Stabilizes Membrane and Prolongs Lifespan of Defolliculated Xenopus laevis Oocytes Open
Xenopus laevis oocytes are commonly used in many fundamental biological studies. One of the major limitations of X. laevis oocytes is their short storage lifespan with most defolliculated oocytes physically deteriorating in 10 days or less…

Sexual Dimorphism in Differentiating Osteoclast Precursors Demonstrates Enhanced Inflammatory Pathway Activation in Female Cells Open
Sexual dimorphism of the skeleton is well documented. At maturity, the male skeleton is typically larger and has a higher bone density than the female skeleton. However, the underlying mechanisms for these differences are not completely un…

Fluorescence lifetime imaging reveals heterogeneous functional distribution of eGFP expressed in <i>Xenopus</i> oocytes Open
The oocytes from Xenopus laevis are well known for their polarity, presenting a distinct animal and vegetal pole. Other heterogeneities are less known. To study the heterogeneity of the Xenopus oocyte, we expressed eGFP and analyzed the pr…
