INTRODUCTION: Monitoring an athlete’s psychological, physiological, and performance level is important when preparing for a major competition. No study to date has tracked a high-level weightlifter peaking for a major competition all the way up to the day of competition. Assessing performance at a competition is vital to ascertain if the athlete has reached a peaked and if peak performance will actually be expressed during the competition. PURPOSE: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine when peak jumping performance was achieved and whether psychological or physiological variables explained any jump performance changes in a high-level female weightlifter preparing …

Objective: We aimed to assess trends in patient selection and outcomes to evaluate safety in current practice of pancreatoduodenectomy. Methods: NSQIP database from 2005 to 2014 was used to identify patients undergoing a pancreatoduodenectomy. Preoperative optimization measure was created using lack of >10% weight loss, albumin>3 and bilirubin<2. Annual trends in patient characteristics and outcomes were described in univariate and logistic or linear regression analyses for binary and continuous variables, respectively. Results: 23,295 pancreatoduodenectomies were identified. There was no significant trend of age (overall median 65 years, trend p=0.31), severity of systemic disease increased (ASA≥3 in 73% overall, trend OR=1.07, p<0.001), but so did the rate of preoperative optimization (52% overall, trend OR=1.03, p<0.001). Malignant indication percentage was increasing (75% overall, trend OR=1.04, p<0.001) as was rate of associated vascular resection (8% overall, trend OR=1.09, p<0.001), but not multivisceral resections (4% overall, trend p=0.10). The adjusted odds of minor and major complications increased over time (overall 31.2% and 27.7%, trend OR=1.32 and 1.11 respectively, p<0.001 for both). In contrast, unadjusted and adjusted length of stay was shortening (median 9 days, decrease by 1.60% and 1.44% respectively, p<0.001 for both) and mortality continued to decrease (2.5% overall, trend OR=0.95, p=0.002). Conclusion: There has been increasing severity of systemic disease as well as more advanced primary disease in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. Despite increasing complication rates, preoperative optimization and management of complications were likely improved, as suggested by shortening length of stay and decreasing mortality.

Background:For every practicing histopathologist, improvement of diagnostic accuracy is an important objective. Personal consults are an important component of quality control (QC)/quality assurance (QA) in our Section of Histopathology. In addition, the College of American Pathologists recommends a daily in-house consensus conference, which is a prospective system by which all difficult and problematic cases are reviewed and discussed and signed out by consensus. Design: In-house consensus conference is held daily using a multi-headed microscope. This collegial session is run by the seniormost consultant in the section and is attended by all histopathology consultants and residents. The consultants and residents …

A Pilot Study Of Deaf Trauma Survivors’ Experiences: Early Traumas Unique To Being Deaf In A Hearing World, Melissa L. Anderson, Kelly S. Wolf Craig, Wyatte C. Hall, Douglas M. Ziedonis
Melissa L. Anderson
Conducting semi-structured American Sign Language interviews with 17 Deaf trauma survivors, this pilot study explored Deaf individuals’ trauma experiences and whether these experiences generally align with trauma in the hearing population. Most commonly reported traumas were physical assault, sudden unexpected deaths, and “other” very stressful events. Although some “other” events overlap with traumas in the general population, many are unique to Deaf people (e.g., corporal punishment at oral/aural school if caught using sign language, utter lack of communication with hearing parents). These findings suggest that Deaf individuals may experience developmental traumas distinct to being raised in a hearing world. Such …

Kjersti Knox, MD
Background: A common challenge facing teaching physicians is balancing high-quality student and resident teaching with efficient, high-quality care and patient service. Publicly accessible clinic performance reports increasingly affect where patients seek care and demand that teaching clinics rise to consumer expectations while training future physicians to function in the modern health care workplace. Limited information is available to guide physicians to achieve the triple aim for clinical teachers (TACT): clinical quality/patient experience, trainee learning, and teaching efficiency.
Purpose: To understand clinical teachers’ TACT-related experiences, perceptions and preferences for how to learn TACT-associated skill sets to improve their competence as teachers. …

Relative Cytotoxic Potencies And Cell Death Mechanisms Of Α1-Adrenoceptor Antagonists In Prostate Cancer Cell Lines, Amanda Forbes, Shailendra Anoopkumar-Dukie, Russ Chess-Williams, Catherine M. Mcdermott
Catherine M. McDermott
Background:
Some α1-adrenoceptor antagonists possess anti-cancer actions that are independent of α1-adrenoceptors and the aim of these studies was to assess the relative cytotoxic potencies of α1-adrenoceptor antagonists and the mechanisms involved in these actions.
Methods:
PC-3 and LNCap human prostate cancer cells were exposed to α1-adrenoceptor antagonists (0.01-100μM) and cell survival assessed after 24-72hr. The levels of apoptosis, autophagy and stress related proteins were also determined.
Results:
The relative cytotoxic potency order was prazosin=doxazosin>terazosin=silodosin=alfuzosin>tamsulosin on both cell types, but LNCaP cells were significantly more sensitive to these effects than PC-3 cells. Prazosin and doxazosin increased levels of …

Does The Expression Of Ki-67, P16 And Cox-2 At Initial Diagnosis Of Breast Atypia Or Usual Ductal Hyperplasia Predict A Second Clinically Significant Event?, Judy Tjoe, Philippe Gascard, Jianxin Zhao, Gary Neitzel, Maharaj Singh, Brittany Last, James Marx, Thea Tlsty, Sanjay Kansra
Judy Tjoe, MD
Background: Women diagnosed with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) have a fivefold increased risk of developing breast cancer. Because ADH/ALH can be precursors or predictive markers of a subsequent clinically significant event (SCSE), i.e. atypia, in situ or invasive carcinoma, the clinical outcome for these patients ranges anywhere from remission to invasive malignancy. Currently we cannot predict which atypical breast lesion is likely to be associated with future cancer, resulting in aggressive management and, possibly, overtreatment. Kerlikowske et al. reported that a combination of three biomarkers (cell cycle regulator p16INK4a, proliferation antigen Ki-67 and stress response …

Development And Validation Of A Preprocedural Risk Score To Predict Access Site Complications After Peripheral Vascular Interventions Based On The Vascular Quality Initiative Database, Daniel Ortiz, Maharaj Singh, Arshad Jahangir, Suhail Allaqaband, Anjan Gupta, Tanvir Bajwa, Mark W. Mewissen
Arshad Jahangir, MD
Purpose
Access site complications following peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) are associated with prolonged hospitalization and increased mortality. Prediction of access site complication risk may optimize PVI care; however, there is no tool designed for this. We aimed to create a clinical scoring tool to stratify patients according to their risk of developing access site complications after PVI.
Methods
The Society for Vascular Surgery’s Vascular Quality Initiative database yielded 27,997 patients who had undergone PVI at 131 North American centers. Clinically and statistically significant preprocedural risk factors associated with in-hospital, post-PVI access site complications were included in a multivariate logistic regression …

Arshad Jahangir, MD
As the number of individuals, particularly the elderly, using herbal products with prescription drugs continues to grow, the risk for adverse interactions increases but remains poorly recognized. The true incidence and nature of adverse herb reactions or herb-drug interactions remains unknown since no postmarketing surveillance mechanism exists. Adverse events are greatly underreported, and information regarding safety mainly comes from case reports and suboptimally conducted studies in a limited number of healthy young volunteers or patients with limited comorbidities. Therefore, convincing evidence for the safety of herbal products in the elderly is lacking, and the true magnitude of problems that herb-drug …

A Meta-Analysis Of Incidence And Risk Factors Of Trastuzumab-Induced Cardiotoxicity In Breast Cancer, Zeeshan Ali Jawa, Ruth Perez, Lydia Garlie, Maharaj Singh, Rubina Qamar, Bijoy Khandheria, Arshad Jahangir, Yang Shi
Arshad Jahangir, MD
Background: A monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab targets the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncogene that is overexpressed in 25–30% of breast cancers. In combination with first-line therapy, trastuzumab resulted in significant improvement in survival outcomes for those with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Due to its improvement in outcome and prolonged survival, trastuzumab has been established as standard of care in both adjuvant and metastatic settings. However, along with common adverse events, trastuzumab has been found to be associated with cardiotoxicity. An estimated 1–4% of patients treated with trastuzumab will develop heart failure and ~10% of patients will experience a …
