Our previous research demonstrated the utility of mutation prevalence of the TP53 gene in bronchial epithelial cells as an indicator of lung cancer risk. The purpose of our research was to determine if TP53 mutation prevalence in peripheral blood cells is a useful marker for determining lung cancer status. We used genomic DNA (gDNA) extracted from blood cells to examine TP53 mutation status and prevalence in lung cancer and non-cancer (control) groups. Samples from cases and controls were selected as pairs based on age, sex, race, smoking status, and smoking history expressed in pack-years. gDNA was extracted from buffy coat samples, target sequences were amplified via PCR, and two sequencing libraries were created. Both libraries have been sequenced: Approximately 28 million reads were obtained from each library with approximately 94.4% %Q30. Bioinformatic analysis is in progress to enable a comparison of TP53 mutation prevalence in cancer and non-cancer groups. If TP53 mutations are more common in the cancer group, it may suggest that mutation prevalence in gDNA collected from peripheral blood can be","PeriodicalId":220681,"journal":{"name":"Translation: The University of Toledo Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"120 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While fear of contracting the virus was prominent within the general population, hospitals also prioritized surges of COVID-19 patients by canceling in-person clinic appointments, clinical trials, and elective surgeries. To evaluate the state of clinical practice during the first wave of COVID-19, a regional survey was conducted of clinicians from the University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC) and ProMedica Toledo hospitals and area clinics from March 9 to July 31, 2020. Qualitative free-form responses from clinicians indicated that both hospital systems observed decreases in patient loads and canceled clinics. We then evaluated how COVID-19 impacted workload in specialty clinics specifically within UTMC. Clinical productivity changes were quantified by evaluating Work Relative Value Units (wRVUs) for UTMC clinics. wRVUs compared to the same period in 2019 revealed the pandemic’s effects of suppressing wRVU in nearly all clinics examined in the initial stages of the first wave. wRVUs recovered to 2019 levels in most specialties and even surpassed 2019 levels by the end of the first wave of the pandemic. The recovery of wRVUs within specialty care during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic reveals the adaptability of the UTMC medical system in Northwest Ohio for navigating a rapidly changing infectious disease landscape.","PeriodicalId":220681,"journal":{"name":"Translation: The University of Toledo Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125559097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
