The promise and pitfalls of synteny in phylogenomics

May 20, 2024 | journals.plos.org | Jacob L. Steenwyk |Nicole King

As highly contiguous genome assemblies become more commonplace, our understanding of synteny as a phylogenomic marker will mature. Here, we provide a roadmap of research opportunities and identify challenges that will shape the use of synteny as a phylogenomic character (Fig 4A). Fig 4. A roadmap of challenges and opportunities for synteny-based phylogenomics. (A) A high-level summary of steps toward best practices in synteny-based phylogenomics.
Navigating COVID: a journey from academic intensity to healing

Apr 25, 2024 | kevinmd.com | Nicole King |Jennifer Roelands |Michele Luckenbaugh |Koshin Paley Ellison

Springtime. Blooming trees. Green grass. Cool winds. Sunny skies. COVID. That is where my mind wanders every year since 2020, when the season turns. I flash back to the drive between the hospital and my home. Every evening after fighting a losing battle at an academic institution hell-bent on ignoring and downplaying the horror that was about to breach our borders. I was a fighter then — maybe more in that moment than I had ever been before and have been since — and I was ready for the fight ahead of me.

Navigating life stories and medical decisions

Nov 24, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Nicole King |Nicholas Bellacicco |Jennifer Lynn |Arthur Lazarus

As a physician, I am given both the gift and the burden of another’s most intimate moments or even their indiscretions. There is a cloak of invisibility that wraps around a patient and me when behind a closed door. Almost as if the concept of guilt, innocence, opportunity, loss, life, and death are all present together with us in a room, while the rest of the world goes on outside.

How the U.S. blood pressure validated device listing (VDL) ensures accurate readings and revolutionizes hypertension control

Jun 15, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Jordana B. Cohen |Babak Azizzadeh |Nicole King

Blood pressure is an important upstream indicator of overall patient health, and high blood pressure can be a precursor to more serious medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and stroke. Measuring blood pressure frequently is the best way to stay on top of any changes, but as telehealth and at-home monitoring gain in popularity, how can you be sure your patients are getting accurate measurements outside of a physician’s office?
On the front lines of COVID-19: the untold sacrifices and heroic efforts of health care professionals

Jun 14, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Nicole King |Naheed Ali |Sandra Swantek |Magdalena Bednarczyk

There is a phenomenon sweeping across various medical circles on social media that is forcing people to address accusations from those who were not on the front lines of COVID at the beginning of the pandemic. Though I have refused to pay much attention to the details, I have become more and more enraged at the audacity and frank ignorance that it takes to judge when not in the arena. Now, I will admit that I am the first to state that we should always ask why, always question the status quo.
The surgeon-anesthesiologist relationship: Learning to work together in the OR

Apr 10, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Nicole King |Thomas L. Amburn |Leonard Wang |Audrey Shafer

Last week I walked past him sitting outside of the OR. It was morning, before all of the first start cases, but he had been there all night. I already knew this. Two back-to-back transplants overnight. He, a surgical fellow, me, a critical care anesthesiologist who was a surgical resident over a decade ago. I could see the circles under his eyes that seemed to take up over half of his face. The weariness in his gaze. I jokingly looked at him and asked if he was questioning his life choices.
