Symmetrical Drug-Related Intertriginous And Flexural Exanthema Induced By Cellulitis Prophylaxis, Tiffany Truong, Jonathan H. Ryder, Erica Lee, Clayton Mowrer, Ashley Wysong, Jasmine R. Marcelin

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Penicillin VK and hydroxyzine are typically well-tolerated antipruritic agents that are indicated in the prophylaxis of cellulitis. We herein report a case of a unique rash occurring during penicillin VK and hydroxyzine treatment in combination with the ingestion of cashews.

A 77-year-old male presented with new onset rash. Eleven days after the administration of penicillin VK and hydroxyzine for cellulitis prophylaxis, he developed a symmetric, erythematous, scaling rash on his buttocks and perineal region with associated pruritus and bleeding without fevers, chills, adenopathy, night sweats, or any other symptoms. He was diagnosed with symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE) …

Preventing Bleeding Complications Of Paracentesis Using Point-Of-Care Ultrasound: An N-Of-1 Case Study, Adam Karevoll, Willie Talbert, Christopher J. Smith

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Abdominal paracentesis is a common bedside procedure, and the advent of point-of-care ultrasound has provided an opportunity to reduce the associated risks. Multiple society guidelines now recommend both site and vascular marking to avoid potential complications. This case illustrates the importance of vascular marking specifically to avoid damage to adjacent blood vessels.

Retropharyngeal Abscess And Pott’S Disease Due To Tuberculosis: A Case Report, Bailey N. Hassman, Steven D. Curry, Jonathan H. Ryder, Angela L. Hewlett, Jayme R. Dowdall

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction: Extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection can lead to vertebral spondylitis and osteomyelitis (Pott’s disease). Retropharyngeal abscess with concurrent spinal osteomyelitis is a rare presentation of tuberculosis in the US. Chart review on a patient was completed, and the relevant published literature was reviewed.

Case Presentation: A previously healthy 34-year-old male originally from Sudan presented to an outside hospital with a 2-month history of neck pain, sore throat, odynophagia, fevers, and chills. MRI showed a retropharyngeal abscess and suspected cervical spine osteomyelitis. Acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear was positive from a neck drain specimen, but sputum was negative. Chest imaging did not show …

Post-Operative Prescription Of Opioid Medications And Patient Education: A Pilot Study, Gavin Stormont, Alexandra Colvin, Shawna Boyle

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Abstract

Introduction:

Opioid medications are essential in the management of pain. 80-85% of surgical patients and 51% of inpatients are discharged with opioid prescriptions. With increased prescriptions, an increase in opioid abuse and overdose was identified. In 2018, nearly 47,000 deaths were reported secondary to opioids. Also, in 2015, 504 billion dollars were spent on the opioid crisis.

Our aim was to determine if our division, urology, was prescribing opioids appropriately in the post-operative setting. We sought to identify gaps in patient knowledge of opioid risks, storage, and disposal.

Methods:

Our institution initiated an after-visit summary (AVS) detailing opioid abuse, …

Assessing The Educational Quality Of Training Videos For Collection Of A Nasopharyngeal Swab, Evan M. Ryan, Matthew T. Solverson, Dallin N. Christensen, Kristy J. Carlson, Kaeli K. Samson, Samuel K. Pate, Jayme R. Dowdall, Christie A. Barnes

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has forced healthcare systems to disseminate their training materials quickly and broadly, including instruction on identifying cases of infection through correct nasopharyngeal swabbing. Incorrect nasopharyngeal swabbing technique leads to substandard sampling, patient discomfort, and increased risk of complications. We set out to evaluate the quality of educational videos on the nasopharyngeal swab procedure.

Methods: Using video search engines, videos on nasopharyngeal swabbing were identified and distributed to two reviewers. The quality of videos was assessed using a scoring system that examined indications, contraindications, personal protective equipment use, swab depth, swab angle, and audiovisual quality. Descriptive statistics …

A Content Analysis Of The Scholarly Activity Requirements In Acgme-Accredited Residency And Fellowship Programs, Kari Nelson, Jacob Pfeifer, Emily Zurbuchen, Chandrakanth Are

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) common and specialty program requirements stipulate that residents/fellows participate in scholarly activities. The ACGME provides a reporting template tool for scholarly activity to be utilized by all specialties for evaluation annually. In this study, we aimed to: 1) Conduct a content analysis of the specialty scholarly activity requirements for all ACGME-accredited training programs to identify commonalities and variations, and 2) Assess alignment between the specialty scholarly activity requirements and the reporting template tool provided by the ACGME.

Methods: The scholarly activity requirements for all ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship specialties …

Building A Robust E-Learning Module Scorecard: The Nebraska E-Learning Scorecard (Nescore), Tammy Webster, Alissa Fial, Peggy Moore, Shireen Rajaram, Ronald Shope, Dele Davies

Innovations in Health Sciences Education Journal

Teaching during a pandemic has compelled educators to transform traditional strategies towards more innovative solutions. These innovative solutions use a variety of educational technologies, and often, shift delivery modalities to an online or blended approach to learning. A key strategy in online teaching is the development of quality e-learning modules based on the core tenets of e-learning. E-learning modules aim to enhance knowledge, performance, and retention through interactive and engaging strategies. While the value of a quality e-learning module is well-supported in the literature, there are limited resources available for developers to assess if the module adheres to the core …
