Hamill M, Reed C, Fogel S, Bradburn E, Powers K, Love K, et al.
Surg Infect (Larchmt) . 2017 Jan; 18(3):273-281. PMID: 28085576
Background: Victims of traumatic injuries represent a population at risk for a wide variety of complications. Contact isolation (CI) is a set of restrictions designed to help prevent the transmission...

Seymour N, Paige J, Arora S, Fernandez G, Aggarwal R, Tsuda S, et al.
J Surg Educ . 2015 Oct; 73(1):136-42. PMID: 26481423
Background: Despite importance to patient care, team training is infrequently used in surgical education. To address this, a workshop was developed by the Association for Surgical Education Simulation Committee to...

Tawadros P, Powers K, Ailenberg M, Birch S, Marshall J, Szaszi K, et al.
Shock . 2015 May; 44(2):157-65. PMID: 25944793
Multiorgan failure is a major cause of late mortality following trauma. Oxidative stress generated during shock/resuscitation contributes to tissue injury by priming the immune system for an exaggerated response to...

Powers K, Rehrig S, Irias N, Albano H, Malinow A, Jones S, et al.
Surg Endosc . 2007 Dec; 22(4):885-900. PMID: 18071813
Objective: Diminishing human error and improving patient outcomes is the goal of task training and simulation experience. The fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) is a validated tool to assess technical...

Powers K, Rehrig S, Jones D
Med Clin North Am . 2007 May; 91(3):321-38, ix. PMID: 17509381
Obesity constitutes a major health problem with serious social and economic consequences worldwide. In North America, nearly one third of the population is obese, and this figure includes children and...

Powers K, Szaszi K, Khadaroo R, Tawadros P, Marshall J, Kapus A, et al.
J Exp Med . 2006 Jul; 203(8):1951-61. PMID: 16847070
Oxidative stress generated by ischemia/reperfusion is known to prime inflammatory cells for increased responsiveness to subsequent stimuli, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The mechanism(s) underlying this effect remains poorly elucidated. These...

Shock . 2004 Sep; 22(4):333-9. PMID: 15377888
The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines is considered to be an important determinant of the magnitude of inflammation in a number of disease states. We previously showed that resuscitated...

Surgery . 2004 Aug; 136(2):483-8. PMID: 15300219
Background: Patients sustaining major trauma are predisposed to the development of organ dysfunction. We have shown that oxidant stress generated by hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (S/R) in rodents increases lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung...

Crit Care Med . 2003 Sep; 31(9):2355-63. PMID: 14501967
Objective: To evaluate novel indications for the use of human albumin solutions in the prevention and treatment of acute lung injury following shock/resuscitation and to test the hypothesis that 25%...
