ReviewBronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction: A New Hope for Patients With Severe Emphysema and Air Trapping.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common and has significant morbidity and mortality as the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. In many patients, particularly those with emphysema, COPD is characterized by markedly increased residual volume contributing to exertional dyspnea. Current therapies have limited efficacy. ⋯ Two reviewers evaluated potential references. A total of 27 references were included in our review. Included studies report experience in the diagnosis and bronchoscopic treatment for emphysema; case reports and non-English or non-Spanish studies were excluded.

ReviewThe Pursuit of Training Meritorious Learners of Diverse Backgrounds: Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.
The doors of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (MCCMS) are open to all meritorious learners, including learners who come from communities that have endured longstanding and profound health and economic disparities. In our contemporary world, upward mobility in socioeconomic status is often a function of successful attainment of higher education. ⋯ In this article, our earlier experiences are analyzed with the goal of offering insights into novel approaches to train meritorious learners from all sociodemographic groups, including those who come from underserved communities. In addition, we highlight an apolitical and academically rigorous social cognition model that informs the contemporary academic agenda of diversity and inclusion, and we trace its root to the work of the founding father of experimental social psychology.
