Objective This systematic review aims to evaluate which applicant characteristics available to an otolaryngology selection committee are associated with future performance in residency or practice. Data Sources PubMed, Scopus, ERIC, Health Business, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and SocINDEX. Review Methods Study eligibility was performed by 2 independent investigators in accordance with the PRISMA protocol (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses). Data obtained from each article included research questions, study design, predictors, outcomes, statistical analysis, and results/findings. Study bias was assessed with the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. Results The initial search identified 439 abstracts. Six articles fulfilled all inclusion and exclusion criteria. All studies were retrospective cohort studies (level 4). Overall, the studies yielded relatively few criteria that correlated with residency success, with generally conflicting results. Most studies were found to have a high risk of bias. Conclusion Previous resident selection research has lacked a theoretical background, thus predisposing this work to inconsistent results and high risk of bias. The included studies provide historical insight into the predictors and criteria (eg, outcomes) previously deemed pertinent by the otolaryngology field. Additional research is needed, possibly integrating aspects of personnel selection, to engage in an evidence-based approach to identify highly qualified candidates who will succeed as future otolaryngologists.

The main objective in the selection of personnel is to select the most appropriate candidate for a job. Personnel selection for human resources management is a very important issue.The aim of this paper is to determine the best-performing personnel for promotion using an application of a Multi Criteria Decision Making(MCDM) method, generalized Choquet integral, to a real personnel selection problem of a case study in Turkey and 17 alternatives are ranked according to personnel selection criteria (22 subcriteria are classified under 5 main criteria). The main contribution of this paper is to determine the interdependency among main criteria and subcriteria, the nonlinear relationship among them and the environmental uncertainties while selecting personnel alternatives using the generalized Choquet integral method with the experts’ view. To the authors’ knowledge, this will be the first study which uses the generalized Choquet Integral methodology for human resources.

Tests and other personnel selection procedures help in selecting good employees. Test utility studies show the value of selection for increasing productivity. Information about a test and about productivity of the workers can be used to quantify the gain that can be achieved by selecting the better workers. Increasing productivity by $5,000 per year per hire is not too much to expect.

Crucial Parameter

Fungicide mixtures produced by the agrochemical industry often contain low-risk fungicides, to which fungal pathogens are fully sensitive, together with high-risk fungicides known to be prone to fungicide resistance. Can these mixtures provide adequate disease control while minimizing the risk for the development of resistance? We present a population dynamics model to address this question. We found that the fitness cost of resistance is a crucial parameter to determine the outcome of competition between the sensitive and resistant pathogen strains and to assess the usefulness of a mixture. If fitness costs are absent, then the use of the high-risk fungicide in a mixture selects for resistance and the fungicide eventually becomes nonfunctional. If there is a cost of resistance, then an optimal ratio of fungicides in the mixture can be found, at which selection for resistance is expected to vanish and the level of disease control can be optimized.

Simulating the transmission of HIV requires a model framework that can account for the complex nature of HIV transmission. In this paper the authors present the current state of the art for simulating HIV with agent-based models and highlight some of the significant contributions of current research. The authors then propose opportunities for future work including their plan that involves identifying and monitoring high-risk drug users that can potentially initiate high-risk infection propagation networks.

e15094 Background: Selection for surgery in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) remains poorly accurate. We evaluated if baseline metabolic characteristics of CRLM, as assessed by [18]-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18FDG-PET/CT), may predict the postoperative outcome in patients operated for CRLM. Methods: In a series of 450 patients operated for CRLM, we retrospectively identified 2 groups: The long-term survival (LTS), as defined by postoperative recurrence-free survival (RFS)≥5 years, and the early relapse groups (ER), as defined by RFS < 1 year. Clinicopathologic characteristics, Clinical Risk Score (CRS) and baseline 18FDG-PET/CT metabolic parameters were analyzed. Baseline 18FDG-PET/CT was performed at the time of diagnosis of CRLM, before any preoperative treatment. Low and high-risk CRS were defined by scores of 0 to 2 and 3 to 5, respectively. Metabolic CRS (mCRS) was implemented, using 1 additional point to the standard CRS when the highest tumor standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and normal liver mean SUV (SUVmean(liver)) ratio was > 4.3. Low and high-risk mCRS were defined by scores of 0 to 2 and 3 to 6, respectively. Results: We analyzed 53 patients. No difference was observed between LTS (n = 23) and ER (n = 30) groups for clinicopathologic parameters related to the primary tumor and CRLM, CRS and rates of low/high risk CRS. All metabolic parameters analyzed, including SUVmax and SUVpeak, at the exception of metabolic tumor volume, were significantly increased in ER group. Median SUVmax/SUVmean(liver) ratio was significantly increased in the ER vs LTS, respectively of 4.2 and 2.8 (p = 0.008). mCRS was significantly higher in ER as compared to LTS patients (p = 0.024), while 61% of the LTS patients had a low-risk mCRS and 73% of the ER patients had a high-risk mCRS (p = 0.023). Conclusions: Baseline 18FDG-PET/CT characteristics demonstrate an increased tumor glucose uptake in patients who rapidly recur after curative-intent surgery for CRLM. The introduction of these data into clinical risk model may represent a new tool to improve selection for surgery in patients with CRLM.
