39, p < 0.001); 5 + years (PR = 1.41, p = 0.005)). YA survivors were more likely to not own assets ((< 5 years (PR = 2.25, p < 0.001); 5 + years (PR = 2.25, p = 0.004)). Those diagnosed within 5 years had higher rates of payday loans (PR = 3.91, p = 0.021). While exploratory, results suggest that YAs are disadvantaged compared to their peers in type and value of assets owned and debts carried. Survivorship care plans for YA survivors should include resources to manage the financial impacts of cancer.

In this study, we explore the gender and racial trends in the recruitment of medical graduates into US psychiatry residency programs. Retrospective data analysis was performed utilizing the data from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Data's annual Resource Books from the year 2007 to 2018. Demographic data, including gender and race, were extracted for psychiatry residents. Gender was categorized as Male, Female, and Not Reported. Race/ethnicity was categorized as White (Non-Hispanic), Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Black/African-American (Non-Hispanic), Native American/Alaskan, Others (not in the aforementioned categories), and Unknown. Female psychiatry residents relatively decreased by 2.6% whereas male psychiatry residents relatively increased by 15.5% from 2007 to 2018. Between the years 2011 and 2018, there was a relative increase in African American/Black and Native American/Alaskan psychiatry residents by 5.5% and 1%, respectively, whereas the Asian/Pacific Islanders, White (Non-Hispanic), and Hispanic/Latino psychiatry residents relatively decreased by 5.1%, 2.3%, and 1.7%, respectively. Despite the overall increase of women and ethnic minorities in US medical schools, women and racial minorities remain significantly under-represented in psychiatry residency programs in the US. This study aimed to evaluate the role of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125 (CA125), CA19-9, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) in the diagnosis and determination of the severity of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. A retrospective analysis was performed. Fifty RA patients (24 patients with ILD and 26 patients without ILD), 10 healthy subjects and 14 patients with other connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease were included. Serum levels of KL-6 and tumor markers CA19-9, CA125 and CEA were measured. Chest HRCT of patients with ILD was scored quantitatively according to the degree of fibrosis. Data on the C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factors and anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline (anti-CCP) were also collected. Serum levels of KL-6, CA19-9, CA125 and CEA in the RA-ILD group were significantly higher than those in the RA-no-ILD group. The serum KL-6 level was positively correlated with the HRCT fibrosis score (r = 0.63, p = 0.002). The logistic regression analysis showed that CA19-9 and smoking were associated with RA-ILD [OR = 1.118, 95% CI = (1.038, 1.204), p = 0.003 for CA19-9, OR = 14.969, 95% CI = (1.750, 128.043), p = 0.013 for smoking]. KL-6 level and tumor markers were elevated in RA-ILD, and strongly associated with the severity of ILD, supporting their value as pathogenically relevant biomarkers, which can contribute to noninvasive detection of this extra-articular disease complication.
