Treatment Option Decision Making For Low-Grade Prostate Cancer, Janene Caldwell Witherite
Treatment Option Decision Making For Low-Grade Prostate Cancer, Janene Caldwell Witherite
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer, behind skin cancer, among men, in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2019.). PCa is defined as low-grade or low risk if the neoplasm grows slowly or not at all. According to the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care, (2020), to make the conclusion that a PCa is low-grade, several tests are performed including a prostate specific antigen (PSA) level, a Gleason score, and a TNM score, which refers to tumor size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis outside the prostate. Low-grade PCa is further defined …

In this review, five databases were searched including CINAHL, Clinical Key, PubMed, …
Low-Dose Naltrexone For Treatment In Crohn’S Disease And Fibromyalgia, Hannah Rachel Tkach
Low-Dose Naltrexone For Treatment In Crohn’S Disease And Fibromyalgia, Hannah Rachel Tkach
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
The United States has experienced a dramatic increase in opioid abuse and overdoses, leading to a national epidemic. Contributing to this epidemic is the use of opioid therapy for complex chronic inflammatory and neuropathic conditions that remain difficult to treat. Many traditional treatments are ineffective or have intolerable side effects, forcing providers to utilize opioid therapy as a last resort. Recently, there is increased interest in the use of partial opioid antagonist naltrexone to treat Crohn’s disease and fibromyalgia. Previous research suggests the potential for naltrexone to provide analgesic effects when administered in low doses via its unique interaction with …

Surgical Innovations For Gerd: Comparing Outcomes Of Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation And Nissen Fundoplication, Steffani Nicole Johnston Mack
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic upper gastrointestinal disease with both objective and subjective components. It is defined as a reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, which causes symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and dysphagia. Severity of the disease is dependent on both severity of the symptoms and severity of the mucosal damage done by the reflux. While many cases of GERD can be managed with oral medication, persistent and refractory cases require surgical intervention. The purpose of this literature review is to compare the efficacy of GERD’s gold standard surgical technique, the Nissen fundoplication, with a …
