Minimally Invasive Tissue Extraction: Continued Growth Through Simulation For Obgyn Residents, Angela Frankel, Md, Mph, Melanie Hotz, Md, Patrick Teefey, Md
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Posters
Background
- Minimally invasive surgery often requires tissue morcellation for extraction of large surgical specimens.1
- Surgeon comfort with tissue morcellation in gynecologic surgery is vital in providing a minimally invasive (MIS) approach.
- However, OBGYN residents often feel underprepared to perform this skill independently.2
- While practicing tissue morcellation in the OR is ideal, simulation has been shown to improve resident technical skill without risking increased operative time or associated morbidity.3
- This intervention seeks to build upon a prior simulation exercise, with the ultimate goal of improving OB-GYN resident self-reported comfort with minimally invasive tissue extraction.

Evaluating Bone Fracture Healing Utilizing Novel Ultrasound Modes, X-Ray And Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry In A Rabbit Model, Priscilla Machado, Rachel Blackman, Ji-Bin Liu, Flemming Forsberg, Traci Fox
Department of Radiology Posters
Background and Purpose
Healing in bone fractures is a complex process involving local inflammation, angiogenesis (i.e., the creation of new blood vessels), and formation of a bone-building callus, all of which leads to returning the bone nearly to its pre-fracture state. This is the process in a bone where the fracture is clean and the fractured ends oppose each other. Five to 10 percent of fractures are described as non-union, which can lead to poor healing and long-term complications. The purpose of this study was to compare fracture healing in a rabbit model using x-ray, the traditional method for evaluating …

Trauma-Informed Care Pa-S Pilot Program Evaluation, Karyn Furcolo, Raya Patel, Mihail Petrov, Leslie Rowland
Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Capstone Presentations (Center City)
Background
Trauma stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, creates a fight-or-flight response through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, release of cortisol.1 Repeated stress leads to dysregulation of this response, which can lead to altered stress susceptibility and the inability to cope with stress.2 A trauma-informed approach encourages the provision of care to be based on knowledge and understanding of trauma and its widespread implications on patients lives.3
- Rather than asking "what is wrong with you," trauma-informed care encourages providers to ask "what happened to you?"5
