Looking Past The Portal: A Hidden Origin Of Ascites, Paige Ruh, Do, Claudia Leonard, Md
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Introduction: The most common cause of ascites is portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis and accounts for nearly 75% of cases. In contrast, pancreatic ascites is a rare presentation of ascites and occurs in less than 1% of patients. Because of its low prevalence, pancreatic ascites is often excluded from the initial differential diagnosis and rarely assessed in ascitic fluid analysis. This is a case in which pancreatic ascites was considered and ultimately confirmed based on the overall clinical picture, challenging the initial assumption of portal hypertension and cirrhosis. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old man with ongoing alcohol use disorder presented to …

Background: Hispanic people with HIV who smoke cigarettes experience unique stressors (eg, stigma), which contribute to health disparities. Anxiety sensitivity (AS) may worsen mood management problems, which are a leading barrier to smoking cessation. Interventions targeting AS can improve HIV-specific outcomes and smoking cessation. However, no prior research has culturally tailored an AS reduction program to improve quality of life among Hispanic people with HIV who smoke. The research team previously developed a mobile health (mHealth) intervention addressing AS reduction, smoking cessation, and HIV care management for Black people with HIV who smoke. Building on this work, this study represents …

The continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has enabled an escape from most monoclonal antibodies, yet a subset of broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting three newly identified super-conserved RBD epitopes—SCORE-A, SCORE-B, and SCORE-C—retains remarkable activity against even the most recent JN.1-derived sublineages. Here, we employed an integrated computational framework combining conformational dynamics, mutational scanning, MM-GBSA binding energetics, and frustration profiling to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which XGI antibodies achieve broad neutralization and resistance to immune escape. Structural analysis revealed that all three SCORE epitopes share a common architecture: a highly conserved, minimally frustrated core that provides stable anchoring, flanked by peripheral regions …

Surgery Articles
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer addresses chronic Achilles tendon ruptures. Traditional percutaneous plantar incisions gain FHL length but risk neurovascular injury. This study evaluated the feasibility of an all-inside endoscopic FHL zone 1 tenotomy and transfer technique, which avoids plantar incisions by using zone 1 of the FHL tendon. We hypothesized that this technique would (1) provide sufficient tendon length, (2) avoid neurovascular damage, and (3) securely anchor the FHL tendon without tunnel blowout.
METHODS: Ten cadaveric all-inside endoscopic zone 1 FHL tendon transfers were performed without fluoroscopic guidance. Specimens were independently assessed post hoc by 2 …

Background: DPV-001 is an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine containing tumor associated proteins commonly overexpressed in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is enriched for short-lived proteins (SLiPs) and defective ribosomal products (DRiPs), including both canonical and non-canonical (or “dark matter”) antigens —comprising over 100 identified non-canonical microproteins. These antigens are delivered in spectrin-coated microvesicles that contain 5 TLR/ NOD agonists and 15DAMPs/molecular chaperones, and target CLEC9A+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs). Preclinical models showed enhanced antitumor responses when the murine analog of DPV-001 (DRibbles) was combined with co -stimulatory agonists. Additional studies showed enhanced antitumor responses when co-stimulatory agonists were combined with …

Background: Managing hypertension in ambulatory settings is becoming increasingly challenging, often competing with other visit priorities. “White coat hypertension” remains a key consideration when considering initiating or increasing anti-hypertensives. Blood pressure may be transiently elevated on initial screening and improve on recheck. Problem: In our clinic, only ~55% of patients were at goal, defined as BP < 140/90 at last office visit. • < 50% of patients received serial recheck after identifying an elevated reading. • 43% of same-day rechecks were < 140/90. Aim: Enhance hypertension management using low-cost, easy to implement interventions. Results: Process was examined iteratively, starting with a yellow card that was placed on the door to alert clinicians to the need to recheck blood pressure before discharge. This was continually refined based on staff feedback. Visual cues prompted more frequent rechecks by rooming staff, increasing the rate of those with elevated initial reading who had serial recheck from 48% to 69%, a net increase of 21%. Improvement was seen in clinic-wide blood pressure control, with the percentage of patients with a blood pressure < 140/90 at most recent office visit increasing from 55.7% to 66.6% after 1 year. This represented a net increase of 10.9%. Discussion: Visual cues in the exam room were effective at alerting clinicians for the need for serial BP recheck. These were most-effective when they were “eye catching”. PharmD visits were effective at creating a visit to focus solely on hypertension management, thereby eliminating competing interests that may dominate office visits with their primary care provider. These paired interventions were surprisingly effective at halting clinical inertia and ultimately led to more effective management of hypertension clinic-wide. Team-based EMR messaging was particularly helpful as an adjunct for coordinating timing of blood pressure rechecks. In a residency setting, this can be performed while ‘staffing’ with a faculty physician. Limitations: Current guidelines identify blood pressures >130/80 as hypertensive. This study utilizes 140/90 as a cutoff. Frequency of blood pressure rechecks highly variable based on available support staff. May place strain on support staff when short staffed. PharmD involvement may not be available in every setting

Department of Medical Education Faculty Research
Background: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by impaired glucose regulation, predisposing patients to both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia, particularly frequent in insulin-treated individuals, remains a serious but underrecognized complication. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies, such as continuous glucose monitors, smartphone apps, and hybrid closed-loop systems with remote monitoring capabilities, have emerged as promising tools to improve glycemic control and prevent hypoglycemia in nonclinical settings. Evidence examining the use of RPM technologies has expanded rapidly; however, the scope, characteristics, and reported outcomes of these interventions remain fragmented across modalities and settings. Objective: This scoping review aims to systematically map and describe the …
Abortion Politics And Policy: Stigma And Access In The Silver State, Celene Fuller
Abortion Politics And Policy: Stigma And Access In The Silver State, Celene Fuller
Lincy Institute Events
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022) overturning Roe V. Wade, states have taken divergent paths in regulating access to abortion services. In 2024, Nevada voters overwhelmingly passed Question 6 proposing to codify abortion rights into the state constitution. In November 2026, Question 6 will again be on the ballot for final confirmation. If it passes, these rights will be protected from future legislative action.
Despite Nevadans’ strong support for abortion rights, the state’s dearth of abortion providers limits access to these services. As this lecture explores, both providers and individuals seeking abortions, …
Veratridine Suppresses Rictor-Mtorc2 Signaling Pathway In Colon Cancer Patient-Derived Xenograft Cells, Morgan Daniel Montgomery
Veratridine Suppresses Rictor-Mtorc2 Signaling Pathway In Colon Cancer Patient-Derived Xenograft Cells, Morgan Daniel Montgomery
Honors Thesis
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second deadliest and fourth most common cancer in the world. The metastatic form of CRC is especially devastating due to a lack of effective and safer therapeutic options. Another challenge includes an increasing number of younger patients. Among critical signaling pathways overactivated in CRC, mTORC2 plays a key role in the progression of metastatic CRC, yet there is no selective mTORC2 inhibitor in the clinic. Interestingly, a natural plant alkaloid from the Veratrum genus, Veratridine (VTD), shows promise as VTD can upregulate UBXN2A, a colon-specific tumor suppressor protein. UBXN2A works with E3 ligases to ubiquitinate …

Structured Summary
a. Background/Introduction:
For patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease, the Fontan procedure is the definitive palliative procedure. Although advancements have been made in the surgical technique and management, the Fontan circulation is inefficient and prone to progressive dysfunction. Elevated central venous pressure, non-pulsatile pulmonary blood flow, and reduced cardiac output can lead to many complications, and eventual failure. These conditions can lead to protein losing enteropathy, plastic bronchitis, and hepatic fibrosis which often indicate advanced decline. Though a known problem, there is a lack of standardized criteria to guide optimal intervention timing of Fontan revision prior to …

Introduction: Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by the abrupt onset of high fevers and exquisitely tender, erythematous skin lesions that may appear on virtually any area of the body. These lesions typically manifest as papules, nodules, or plaques and often evolve rapidly, contributing to the dramatic clinical presentation. Although uncommon—with only several hundred cases documented in the literature—Sweet syndrome remains an important diagnostic consideration due to its distinctive combination of cutaneous findings and systemic symptoms, as well as its potential association with underlying malignancy, infection, or medication exposure. Presentation: A …

Background: Incidence of anti-HER2 cardiotoxicity varies widely from 3-30%. Baseline cardiac risk factors can drastically affect an individual's risk of cardiotoxicity while on anti-HER2 therapies. Risk stratification calculators like the HFA-ICOS tool can estimate relative risk of cardiotoxicity based on preceding risk factors. High risk factors: Heart failure (HF), CAD, severe valvular heart disease. Mild-moderate risk factors: HTN, DM, CKD, age 65-79, anthracycline use, arrhythmia, smoking history, BMI>30. De-intensified surveillance has been proposed for low-risk patients. Objective: Characterize incidence and predictors of cardiotoxicity in a real world population of early-stage breast cancer patients receiving anti-HER2 therapies. Evaluate incidence of …
