Pregnancy Outcomes In Female Liver Transplant Recipients With A Transplant-To-Conception Interval >- 5 Years, Carlo B. Ramirez, Adam Frank, Warren R. Maley, Cataldo Doria, Lisa A. Coscia, Vincent T. Armenti
Pregnancy Outcomes In Female Liver Transplant Recipients With A Transplant-To-Conception Interval >- 5 Years, Carlo B. Ramirez, Adam Frank, Warren R. Maley, Cataldo Doria, Lisa A. Coscia, Vincent T. Armenti
Adam M. Franks, MD
Conclusions: Successful pregnancy outcomes have been reported in female liver recipients with a transplant-to-conception interval greater than or equal to 5 years. Long-term graft survival should be discussed with recipients as a component of preconception counseling. All transplant centers are encouraged to report pregnancies to the NTPR.

Purpose: Recent reports of medical errors in radiaKon treatment delivery have emphasized the importance of quality assurance (QA) pracKces. Strict guidelines exist for medical physics QA, but not for QA procedures as applied to clinicians. We sought to document how clinical quality assurance (QA) meeKngs or “chart rounds” are performed across academic North American RadiaKon Oncology departments.

Sickle Cell Pain: A Critical Reappraisal., Samir K. Ballas, Kalpna Gupta, Patricia Adams-Graves
Department of Medicine Faculty Papers
Sickle cell pain includes 3 types: acute recurrent painful crises, chronic pain syndromes, and neuropathic pain. The acute painful crisis is the hallmark of the disease and the most common cause of hospitalization and treatment in the emergency department. It evolves through 4 phases: prodromal, initial, established, and resolving. Each acute painful episode is associated with inflammation that worsens with recurrent episodes, often culminating in serious complications and organ damage, such as acute chest syndrome, multiorgan failure, and sudden death. Three pathophysiologic events operate in unison during the prodromal phase of the crisis: vaso-occlusion, inflammation, and nociception. Aborting the acute …

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers
OBJECTIVES: We analyzed the infection burden associated with the implantation of cardiac implantable electrophysiological devices (CIEDs) in the United States for the years 1993 to 2008.
BACKGROUND: Recent data suggest that the rate of infection following CIED implantation may be increasing.
METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) discharge records were queried between 1993 and 2008 using the 9th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM). CIED infection was defined as either: 1) ICD-9 code for device-related infection (996.61) and any CIED procedure or removal code; or 2) CIED procedure code along with systemic infection. Patient health profile was evaluated …

Capacity Building For Participatory Health Services Research In Housing First, Lara Carson Weinstein, Md
Department of Family & Community Medicine Presentations and Grand Rounds
Background:
Pathways to Housing ends chronic homelessness for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) by providing housing first, and then combining that housing with supportive treatment services in the area of mental and physical health, substance abuse, education, and employment. Housing is provided in apartments scattered throughout a community. This "scattered site" model fosters a sense of home and self-determination, and it helps speed client's reintegration into the community. The Pathways model has been remarkable successful in addressing chronic homelessness.
Research Question
What are the chronic physical disease self management support needs of Pathways to Housing clients?
Primary Provider Beliefs And Practice Patterns Contribute To The Lack Of Hiv/Hcv Coinfected Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation In The United States, Jonathan M. Fenkel, Md, Victor J. Navarro, Md
Primary Provider Beliefs And Practice Patterns Contribute To The Lack Of Hiv/Hcv Coinfected Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation In The United States, Jonathan M. Fenkel, Md, Victor J. Navarro, Md
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Faculty Papers
Conclusions:
1. The majority of primary providers were ambivalent toward or against LT for HIV/HCV coninfected patients.
2. Half of all respondents were unlikely to refer cirrhotic coinfected patients for LT evaluation.
3. HIV specialists were significantly more likely to believe transplant should be offered, but reported no difference in likelihood of LT referral.
4. These findings suggest that primary provider beliefs and self-reported practice patterns may partially explain the paucity of coinfected US liver transplant recipients.

Meningitis Presenting As Depression: A Case Report, Karl Doghramji, Md
Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry
The relationship between psychiatric and medical illness has long been recognized by clinicians. Of special importance to psychiatrists are the diagnostic dilemmas posed by medical illnesses presenting as psychiatric disorders. In a review of recent studies, LaBruzza found that "at least one out of every twenty patients receiving an initial psychiatric evaluation may have an underlying medical illness which accounts for the psychiatric symptoms." This was especially true with inpatients, where between 5% and 30% of patients, with a weighted average of 12%, had medical illnesses accounting for their psychiatric complaints 11). One medical illness which can resemble psychiatric illness …

The syndrome of Minimal Brain Dysfunction (MBD) in children has been well described by a number of authors. Such children were first described in 1941 by Werner and Strauss(1) who made a distinction between brain injury and -simple- mental retardation. In the past such terms as Hyperactive Child Syndrome, Minimal Brain Damage, and Hyperkinetic Behavior Syndrome have been used to describe this syndrome.

Interpersonal Relationships As Sources Of Medical Student Stress, Beverly Jones, Md
Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry
Introduction
The issue of physician impairment, that is , decreased ability or quality of functioning due to intemperate use of drugs or alcohol, emotional or psychiatric dysfunction, has recently received attention (1,5) . Studies have indicated the risks physicians face of substance abuse problems(6,7), marital discord(8,9), suicide (lO,ll), and psychiatric problems (l2-14). studies have also addressed the difficulties faced by medical students (15-20).
A group of medical students at the University of North Carolina came together to investigate the subject of medical student impairment . A survey was constructed in order to ascertain the sources of stress in medical school. …

Olfaction And Sexuality, Michael Buxbaum, Md
Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry
A patient who describes himself as "sanitary" told me of his concern with odors. Whenever he thinks about establishing a sexual relationship , he develops a fear that his partner may smell offensive, especially around her genital area. He describes signs and symptoms of sympathetic overactivity when he engages in foreplay, and is afraid that he might be impotent if he smells anything offensive. In fact, he has to insert a finger into his partner's vagina during foreplay, to test the nature of the odor. He feels relieved when the smell is neutral or perfumed, and demonstrates enhanced sexual performance. …
Editors' Column
Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry
With this issue, The Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry , a Resident Publication, comes into being.
The purpose of this journal is to provide a forum for the presentation of ideas, data, and discussion. We are trying to give residents a setting in which to communicate in a way more formal than the seminars of residency training, but less forbidding than national journals.
