Sexual Dysfunction After Rectal Cancer Treatment, Sarah M. Popek
Sexual Dysfunction After Rectal Cancer Treatment, Sarah M. Popek
Clinical and Translational Science Center Scholarly Output
Introduction: Treatment for rectal cancer results in sexual dysfunction. Sexual function is a component of the HR-QOL (health related quality of life) measures. The incidence of sexual dysfunction following treatment for rectal cancer and its impact on the HR-QOL is not well delineated, particularly on women.
Objectives: To prospectively assess the degree of sexual dysfunction that occurs after treatment for Stage I-III rectal cancer and the corresponding short term (<3 months) and long term (<2 years) effect on the Quality of Life measure for oncology (QOL-30).
Methods: Validated questionnaires will be administered to assess sexual function and quality of life. The International Index of Erectile Dysfunction will be administered to male patients and …

Effectiveness Of A Faculty Mentor Development Program For Scholarship At An Academic Health Center, Akshay Sood, Clifford Qualls, Beth Tigges, Bronwyn Wilson, Deborah Helitzer
Clinical and Translational Science Center Scholarly Output
Introduction:
Mentors are in short supply at academic health centers (AHCs). The effectiveness of training mentors (without preselection for their research skills) to support faculty mentees in scholarly activities at AHCs is not well known.
Methods:
The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center has a two-component program to develop effective mentors for scholarship for faculty mentees. It has an online component supplemented by an optional face-to-face (F2F) component. Study outcomes included changes in self-reported knowledge scores for online users and Mentoring Competency Assessment scores for F2F users.
Results:
One hundred five mentors, mostly women associate professors, used the online …

Efficacy Of Antibiotic Treatments For Klebsiella And Esbl Pneumonia, Harry Snow
Efficacy Of Antibiotic Treatments For Klebsiella And Esbl Pneumonia, Harry Snow
Clinical and Translational Science Center Scholarly Output
There is a dearth of knowledge and studies about empiric antibiotic treatment for Extended Spectrum-β-Lactamase (ESBL) bacterial pneumonia.
This study is meant to improve quality of evidence to “medium” levels from the current level of “very-low” quality.
Improved methods for treating Klebsiella Pneumoniae infection.
Primary outcome:Mortality
Aim:To assess differences in patient survival probability due to different antibiotic regimens, considering all classes of antibiotics.
