    Abstract Introduction and objectives: Our objective was to measure and compare the intake of macro and micronutrients in a cohort of individuals with Metabolic Syndrome Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) compared with matched controls to identify areas of further research in this area; we identified nutrition-associated associations with MASLD in the United States general population.
    Materials and methods: We used the 2017 - 2018 NHANES dataset. Elastography Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP score>280) in the absence of other liver disease was defined as MASLD in adults (>18). Advanced fibrosis was defined by transient elastography >10 kPa. Controls were adults without liver disease.
    Results: 1648 MASLD cases (11.4 % advanced fibrosis) and 2527 controls were identified. MASLD cases were older (P<0.001), more likely males (P = 0.01), less likely to have a college education (P = 0.04) and more likely married (P = 0.002). MASLD cases were more likely to be of Mexican American or Hispanic ethnicity (P = 0.002), have higher BMI, and have higher prevalence of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension (P<0.001 for all). MASLD cases had higher hs-CRP (P = 0.02) and ferritin (P = 0.02). MASLD cases had lower total (P = 0.004) and added vitamin E in their diet (P = 0.002), lower vitamin K intake (P = 0.005), and higher selenium intake (P = 0.03). Caloric intake (P = 0.04), carbohydrate intake (P = 0.02), cholesterol intake (P = 0.03) and saturated fatty acid intake (P = 0.05) were higher in MASLD. Individuals with MASLD were more likely to be on a diet (P<0.001), sedentary (P = 0.008) and less likely to participate in moderate or vigorous recreational activities (P<0.001).
    Conclusions: The deficiencies of micronutrients and excess of macronutrients point to oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory state, and lipotoxicity as pathways linking the US diet to MASLD. MASLD patients are more often on special diets, which may reflect prior provider counseling on diet changes to improve health.

    Abstract Introduction: Low-carbohydrate diets and time-restricted eating are methods to improve hemoglobin A1C in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, insulin-using patients are often counseled against these practices due to hypoglycemia concerns. This observational study evaluated a protocol utilizing both methods coupled with proactive insulin titration.
    Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a timed eating protocol for insulin-using patients and to assess its impact on outcomes, including insulin use and hemoglobin A1C.
    Methods: Participants included insulin-using adults ages 49 to 77 years with type 2 diabetes. They were counseled to eat 2 meals per day in a 6- to 8-hour window of their choosing, with a goal intake of ≤ 30 grams of carbohydrates per day. Glucose was closely monitored, and insulin was adjusted per study protocol. Primary outcomes included hypoglycemic events and compliance with timed eating. Insulin use, hemoglobin A1C, body mass index, blood pressure, and quality of life also were measured.
    Results: Nineteen of the 20 participants completed the 6-month study. No hypoglycemic events requiring urgent medical care occurred. Symptomatic episodes with glucose between 47 and 80 mg/dl were reported by 37% (7/19) of participants. Average daily insulin use decreased by 62.2 U (
    Conclusions: These results demonstrate that a time-restricted eating protocol is feasible and safe for insulin-using patients with type 2 diabetes when paired with a proactive insulin titration.

    Abstract Background: Burnout is prevalent in medical training. While some institutions have implemented employee-to-employee recognition programs to promote wellness, it is not known how such programs are perceived by resident physicians, or if the experience differs among residents of different genders.
    Methods: We used convergent mixed methods to characterize how residents in internal medicine (IM), pediatrics, and general surgery programs experience our employee-to-employee recognition ("Hi-5″) program. We collected Hi-5s received by residents in these programs from January 1, 2021-December 31, 2021 and coded them for recipient discipline, sex, and PGY level and sender discipline and professional role. We conducted virtual focus groups with residents in each training program.
    Main measures and approach: We compared Hi-5 receipt between male and female residents; overall and from individual professions. We submitted focus group transcripts to content analysis with codes generated iteratively and emergent themes identified through consensus coding.
    Results: Over a 12-month period, residents received 382 Hi-5s. There was no significant difference in receipt of Hi-5s by male and female residents. Five IM, 3 surgery, and 12 pediatric residents participated in focus groups. Residents felt Hi-5s were useful for interprofessional feedback and to mitigate burnout. Residents who identified as women shared concerns about differing expectations of professional behavior and communication based on gender, a fear of backlash when behavior does not align with gender stereotypes, and professional misidentification.
    Conclusions: The "Hi-5" program is valuable for interprofessional feedback and promotion of well-being but is experienced differently by men and women residents. This limitation of employee-to-employee recognition should be considered when designing equitable programming to promote well-being and recognition.

    Abstract Purpose: Hispanic/Latinx communities encounter disparities in access and availability of appropriate timely health care services, negatively affecting cancer outcomes. Limited data exist on the role of these factors in personal experiences of Hispanic/Latinx with health care systems. We aim to better understand Hispanic/Latinx experience with the health care system, focusing on the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and applications to clinical practice in patients diagnosed with cancer.
    Methods: Competitively obtained data from 2010 to 2019 Association of American Medical Colleges Consumer Survey of Health Care Access (a US population-based sample of potential health care consumers needing health care at least once in the past year) were retrospectively reviewed. Descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate comparisons of patterns pre- versus post-ACA were performed for respondents self-identifying as Hispanic/Latinx.
    Results: In a total cohort of 53,523 respondents, Hispanic/Latinx comprised 7.5% (n = 4,094). Post-ACA demographics showed a higher proportion of female and an increase in employment, educational attainment, income, and private insurance coverage, with a decrease in uninsured. Adjusted models showed that post-ACA Hispanic/Latinx patients are less likely to use emergency room if sick or needing medical advice (odds ratio [OR] 0.33;
    Conclusion: Although ACA implementation was associated with decreased health care access barriers in Hispanic/Latinx, they continue to experience disparities in chronic health conditions, including cancer, with higher limitations because of emotional or mental health. Ongoing efforts that build upon current strides, toward improved patient satisfaction and overall outcomes, are of paramount importance.

    Abstract: Importance: Wisconsin has the second-highest Black homicide rate in the country, reporting a rate of 37.57 deaths per 100,000 Black non-Hispanic Wisconsinites. Meanwhile, White non-Hispanics experience a homicide rate of 2.0 deaths per 100,000.: ... ...

    Abstract Importance: Wisconsin has the second-highest Black homicide rate in the country, reporting a rate of 37.57 deaths per 100,000 Black non-Hispanic Wisconsinites. Meanwhile, White non-Hispanics experience a homicide rate of 2.0 deaths per 100,000.
    Objective: This data identifies a public health disparity that deserves further investigation. This study seeks to detail the mortality rate of all-cause homicide, firearm-related homicide, non-firearm-related homicide, and legal intervention firearm-related homicide; leading causes of death; average age of death; and years of potential life lost (YPLL) between White non-Hispanics and Black non-Hispanics in Wisconsin during 2000-2017.
    Design: Wisconsin homicide rates, ranked leading causes of death, and average age of death were obtained through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services via the Wisconsin Interactive Statistics on Health (WISH) Query System. National data were obtained through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS). Homicide rates, ranked leading causes of death, average age of death, and YPLL were compared by mechanism of injury, county of residence, and race and ethnicity.
    Participants and exposures: The entire population of Black non-Hispanic Americans and White non-Hispanic Americans during 2000-2017 was included. For comparison, this was narrowed to the population of Black non-Hispanic Wisconsinites and White non-Hispanic Wisconsinites during 2000-2017. Exposure groups include all homicide victims during 2000-2017.
    Main outcomes and measures: We hypothesized that Black non-Hispanic Wisconsinites would have a significantly worse burden of disease compared to White non-Hispanic Wisconsinites, as well as Black non-Hispanic Americans.
    Results: This study found that firearm-related homicide rates for Black non-Hispanics compared to White non-Hispanics were 14.6 times greater in Milwaukee, 29.9 times greater in Wisconsin, and 13.0 times greater in urban counties of the United States. Firearm-related homicide is the second-leading cause of death for Black non-Hispanics in Milwaukee and the fourth-leading cause of death in Wisconsin. YPLL per person for Black non-Hispanic victims of firearm-related homicide are 36.83 years in Milwaukee and 37.04 years in Wisconsin.
    Conclusion and relevance: Our findings strongly suggest that Black non-Hispanic Wisconsinites endure a significantly worse burden of firearm-related homicide compared to White non-Hispanic Wisconsinites and Black non-Hispanic Americans. This study demonstrates a significant disparity in firearm-related homicide that should inspire policy discussion.

    Abstract Background: Percutaneous kidney biopsies are important tools for the diagnosis of kidney diseases. Nephrologists must be familiar with the expected complications of the procedure to provide an adequate informed consent. Here, we present a quality improvement analysis that reviews the complication rate of percutaneous kidney biopsies performed over a 2-year period by nephrologists at a single center, and that tabulates the nature and timing of these events.
    Methods: From a single center cohort, pre- and post-biopsy anthropomorphic and clinical measurements were collected. Post-biopsy complications were tracked and sorted into either major or minor complications. Statistical tests were used to analyze complication incidence across the pre- and post-biopsy measurements obtained.
    Results: Of the 154 nephrologist-performed percutaneous native kidney biopsies, 2 biopsies (1.3%) were found to result in a major complication. Both major complications were detected within 4 hours of the biopsy. Analysis of the pre-biopsy and post-biopsy measurements found that the proportion of complications was higher in patients with hematuria prior to biopsy. It was also found that patients with complications were statistically younger and had fewer comorbidities. Under univariable analysis, older age was associated with a lower incidence rate ratio for complications. However, no pre-or-post biopsy measurement or characteristic had a statistically significant change in incidence rate ratio under multivariable analysis.
    Conclusions: Percutaneous kidney biopsies were found to be low risk when performed by nephrologists in this single center cohort. Consistent with past literature, life threatening major complications rarely occurred and were reliably identified within 4 hours of biopsy, suggesting that centers can consider reduced observation times without compromising patient safety. Minor complications, such as pain, were more likely to occur in younger, healthier patients, and in those with hematuria prior to biopsy. This extensive tabulation of all biopsy adverse events is the first of its kind and will be beneficial for nephrologists to inform discussions with patients about expectations and risk-benefit of this procedure.

    Abstract Abstract: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are healthcare-acquired infections with substantial morbidity. Surgical site infection persist because of low adherence to prevention bundles comprising multiple infection control elements. We propose the "Strike Team" as an implementation strategy to improve adherence and reduce SSI in colorectal surgery. At an academic medical center, a multidisciplinary Strike Team met monthly to review colorectal SSI cases, audit and discuss barriers to adherence to SSI prevention bundle, and propose actionable feedback. The latter was shared with frontline clinicians by the Strike Team's surgical leaders in everyday practice. Colorectal SSI rates and bundle adherence data were disseminated quarterly via the hospital intranet and reviewed with surgeons at departmental meetings. Trends in adherence and SSI rates were analyzed by regression analysis using a time series model. While the Strike Team was active, adherence to antibiotic prophylaxis, maintenance of normoglycemia, and standardized intraoperative skin preparation significantly increased (p < .05). There was a trend toward statistically significant reduction in SSI (p = .07), although it was not maintained once the Strike Team activity was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Colorectal SSI prevention requires a resource-intensive, multidisciplinary approach with numerous strategies to improve adherence to infection control bundles, as illustrated by our SSI Strike Team experience.

    Abstract Background: Streptococcus agalactiae
    Methods: We used 754 stool samples collected from adults in Wisconsin from 2016-2017 to test for the prevalence and abundance of GBS using a Taqman probe-based qPCR assay targeting two GBS-specific genes:
    Results: We found 137/754 (18%) of participants had detectable GBS in their stool samples with a median abundance of 104 copies per nanogram of starting DNA. There was no difference in GBS status or abundance based on gender. Beta-diversity, Bray-Curtis and Unweighted UniFrac, was significantly different based on carrier status of the participant. Prior to p-value correction, 59/557 (10.6%) survey variables were significantly associated with GBS carrier status and 11/547 (2.0%) variables were significantly associated with abundance (p-value<0.05). After p-value correction, 2/547 (0.4%) variables were associated with GBS abundance: an increased abundance of GBS was associated with a decreased frequency since last dental checkup (p<0.001) and last dental cleaning (p<0.001). Increased GBS abundance was significantly associated with increased frequency of iron consumption (p=0.007) after p-value correction in multivariate models.
    Conclusions: GBS is found in stool samples from adults in Wisconsin at similar frequencies as pregnant individuals screened with rectovaginal swabs. We did not find associations between risk factors historically associated with GBS in pregnant people, suggesting that risk factors for GBS carriage in pregnancy may differ from those in the general population. We found that frequency of iron consumption and dental hygiene are risk factors for GBS carriage in Wisconsin adults. Given that these variables were not assayed in previous GBS surveys, it is possible they also influence carriage in pregnant people. Taken together, this work serves as a foundation for future work in developing approaches to decrease GBS abundance in carriers.
