    The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling network regulates cell growth, proliferation and cell survival. Deregulated activation of this pathway is a common event in diverse human diseases such as cancers, cardiac hypertrophy, vascular restenosis and nephrotic hypertrophy. Although mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, has been widely used to inhibit the aberrant signaling due to mTOR activation that plays a major role in hyperproliferative diseases, in some cases rapamycin does not attenuate the cell proliferation and survival. Thus, we studied the mechanism(s) by which cells may confer resistance to rapamycin. Our data show that in a variety of cell types the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin activates extracellularly regulated kinases (Erk1/2) signaling. Rapamycin-mediated activation of the Erk1/2 signaling requires (a) the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), (b) its tyrosine kinase activity and (c) intact autophosphorylation sites on the receptor. Rapamycin treatment increases tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR without the addition of growth factor and this transactivation of receptor involves activation of c-Src. We also show that rapamycin treatment triggers activation of cell survival signaling pathway by activating the prosurvival kinases Erk1/2 and p90RSK. These studies provide a novel paradigm by which cells escape the apoptotic actions of rapamycin and its derivatives that inhibit the mTOR pathway

    An Early Warning Score (EWS) is a risk-management tool to identify patients experiencing clinical deterioration early, therefore allowing timely treatment to occur. Although EWS scores are recommended for all in-patients, more data is available for patients under general medical services compared to surgical services. This study aims to understand differences between medical versus surgical in-patients who receive a red alert from the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) at Jefferson hospital. Patients who received a red MEWS alert during admission and discharged between June 2017 to March 2018 (N=812) were categorized as medical or surgical patients. Patient characteristics were compared using an independent samples t-test (age, alert count) or chi-square test (sex, race, admission source, insurance). Patient outcomes were compared using a binary logistic regression (in-hospital mortality, RRT, sepsis diagnosis, ICU transfer, intubation, discharge to hospice) or a Cox regression model (length of stay), controlling for age, sex, and race. Compared to medical patients, surgical patients were younger by 2.7 years (p=0.026) and more likely to have a Commercial and/or Medicare category of insurance (OR=1.568, p=0.005). Surgical patients were more likely to have ICU transfer (OR=1.487, p=0.013) and intubation post-alert (OR=2.470, p=0.006), while less likely to be discharged early (HR=0.675,
