Temporary Resolution Of Parkinsonian Tremor Resulting From A Periprocedural Intracranial Hemorrhage, Anna Molinari, Amanda Currie, Maxim Turchan, Walter Sidwell, Chris Kao Md, Derek A. Riebau Md, David Charles Md

Tennessee Medicine E-Journal

We present the case of a 55-year-old male with Parkinson’s disease who underwent staged DBS surgery. After placement of the electrodes in the left brain, the patient exhibited altered mental status that terminated the procedure and prevented placement of electrodes in the right brain. CT and MRI scans showed a small intracranial hemorrhage in the left dorsolateral STN. The patient recovered with no permanent adverse effects and was successfully implanted one month later. However, the patient reported substantial reduction in his right-sided tremor following the ICH. The stimulator in the left brain was thus left off for approximately one ...

Differ In Socio-Cognitive Processes? Some Comparisons Between Paper And Video Triggered Pbl, Jingyan Lu, Lap Ki Chan

Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning

This paper investigates whether paper and video triggers stimulate different social and cognitive processes during PBL. The study focused on how medical students identified and described problems, and how they built shared cognitions that lead them to diagnose and solve problems. The results showed that students who used video triggers put more effort into communicating their understanding of the problem and relevant knowledge than students who used paper triggers. The findings contribute to discussions on how to evaluate the effectiveness of different PBL triggers in order to better integrate them into the curriculum.

New Services To Enhance A Health Care Network's Reputation: Digital Commons At Lvhn, A Health Network Experience, Kristine A. Petre Mls, Cm, Ahip

Division of Education

Live for a little over two years, Lehigh Valley Health Network’s repository, LVHN Scholarly Works, has enhanced the Network’s reputation and research credibility by increasing the visibility of its scholarship. In addition to enhancing the Network’s reputation, LVHN Scholarly Works has been instrumental in saving time and easing workflows for several of its residency programs as well as for ACGME accreditation, and has even contributed to filling in missing pieces of institutional history.

Intravenous Estrogen Is Not Proven Effective For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Guidelines Are Based On Flawed Evidence, Stephen Simmer

Clinical Research in Practice: The Journal of Team Hippocrates

A critical appraisal and clinical application of: DeVore GR, Owens O, Kase N. Use of intravenous Premarin in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding--a double-blind randomized control study. Obstet Gynecol. 1982 Mar;59(3):285-91.

This appraisal identifies significant statistical irregularities in the study. A reworking of the study's statistics leads to a conclusion different from that put forth by the authors of this paper: intravenous estrogen therapy is not, in fact, significantly more effective compared to placebo therapy for the cessation of acute abnormal uterine bleeding.

Statewide Survey Identifies Major Opportunities To Improve Patient-Centered Care, James Bailey Jr., Md, Facp, Wayne J. Pitts Phd, Jill Nault Mssw

Tennessee Medicine E-Journal

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are being challenged to provide higher quality and more patient-centered care. The Patient-Centered Medical Home Model has been demonstrated to improve healthcare quality as well as patient and physician satisfaction by fostering patient self-management, team-based care, work flow redesign, care coordination, patient–centered care, population health focus, and open access.^1-3 Many states like North Carolina and Louisiana have launched major statewide efforts to support the development of patient-centered medical homes.^4,5 However, poorly aligned reimbursement mechanisms and inadequate quality improvement (QI) infrastructure make adoption of emerging best practices difficult. Little is known regarding PCPs ...

Training Mid To Late Career Health Professionals For Clinical Work In Low-Income Regions Abroad, Andrew Harris, Peter Spencer, Kevin Withthrop, Jay Kravitz

Scholar Archive

Introduction. Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Global Health Center has developed a unique training program--Professionals’ Training in Global Health-- for mid- and late-career health professionals wanting to perform clinical services overseas in low-income countries.

Methods. A multidisciplinary, multifaceted, structured curriculum underpins the clinical retraining, with classes aimed to be practical for clinical settings in resource-poor regions of the world. Preceptorships in family medicine and emergency medicine offer specialists the opportunity to observe primary care physicians 1-on-1. In addition, PTGH trainees volunteer at free medical clinics where they work under the guidance and supervision of a family physician. For those ...
