To test whether mitochondrial transplantation (MITO) mitigates damage in 2 models of acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ MITO mitigates AKI both in vitro and ex vivo.

We sought to examine the factors associated with resident perceptions of autonomy and to characterize the relationship between resident autonomy and wellness. ⋯ Autonomy is not considered an inherent part of the training paradigm such that residents can assume that they will achieve it. Resources to function autonomously should be allocated equitably to support all residents' educational growth and wellness.

We aimed to determine the incidence of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in elderly patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and the impact of parathyroidectomy. ⋯ Older patients with pHPT have an increased risk of major cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events compared with patients without the disease. Physicians treating older patients with primary hyperparathyroidism should consider parathyroidectomy.R.M.P. and N.N. contributed equally to the preparation of this manuscript.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of liver resection on the prognosis of T2 gallbladder cancer (GBC). ⋯ Extended cholecystectomy including LND without liver resection may be a reasonable treatment option for selected T2 GBC patients.

To identify novel prognostic and predictive biomarkers for gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G+GEJ) adenocarcinoma. ⋯ Pretreatment serum level of IL-6 is a promising prognostic biomarker for G+GEJ patients. Comparing pre and post-neoadjuvant IL-6 levels may predict pathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy.
