Rigid Nail Fixation For Treatment Of Femur Fractures In Children Aged 6 To 12 Years: A Review, Brielle Payne Plost, David M. Bennett, Andrew W. Parsons, Matthew G. Wharton

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Although femoral shaft fractures are common in children, treatment using rigid intramedullary nail fixation remains controversial owing to concerns of avascular necrosis (AVN) and disruption of growth of the proximal femur. We examined studies on AVN complications and proximal femur deformity after rigid nail fixation in children aged 6 to 12 years. Of the 13 studies included, nine had no incidents of AVN or clinically significant proximal femur deformity using a greater trochanter entry point. Four studies showed cases of AVN or proximal femoral deformity in patients treated with intramedullary nails through a starting point at or near the piriformis …

Multimodal Analgesia In Orthopaedic Surgery And Presentation Of A Comprehensive Postoperative Pain Protocol: A Review, Christopher L. Shultz, Benjamin D. Packard, Kathryn C. Helmig, Christopher Kurnik, Benjamin S. Albertson, Nathan E. Huff, Gehron P. Treme

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Rising opioid use in the United States has now been termed an epidemic. Opioid use is associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and cost to the healthcare system. Orthopaedic surgeons play a key role in the opioid epidemic by prescribing postoperative narcotics. Although our understanding of the quantity of narcotics to prescribe postoperatively for analgesia is progressing, there is still a paucity of data focused on routine postoperative pain protocols. The purpose of this article is to review the current options for both opioid and non-opioid analgesia and put forth a multisubspecialty orthopaedic protocol of postoperative pain. On the basis of …

Strengthening The Health Workforce Through The Echo Stages Of Participation: Participants' Perspectives On Key Facilitators And Barriers, Suzuho Shimasaki, Erin Bishop, Michelle Guthrie, John F Fred Thomas

Project ECHO Bibliography

INTRODUCTION: Project Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) was originally developed by the University of New Mexico's Health Science Center (UNMHSC) to build the capacities of primary-care providers and to increase specialty-care access to rural and underserved populations. ECHO Colorado, a replication site at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (CUAMC), was developed with the same purpose and to help build the health workforce of Colorado. The CUAMC and its community-based partners recognized that by reducing unnecessary referrals to the medical campus and building primary-care capacity in communities, both would increase their scope and expand overall capacity. This study …

Multi-Institutional Multidisciplinary Injury Mortality Investigation In The Civilian Pre-Hospital Environment (Mimic): A Methodology For Reliably Measuring Prehospital Time And Distance To Definitive Care, Nicolas W. Medrano, Cynthia Lizette Villarreal, Michelle A. Price, Ellen Mackenzie, Kurt B. Nolte, Monica J. Phillips, Ronald M. Stewart, Brian J. Eastridge

Pathology Research and Scholarship

The detailed study of prehospital injury death is critical to advancing trauma and emergency care, as circumstance and causality have significant implications for the development of mitigation strategies. Though there is no true 'Golden Hour,' the time from injury to care is a critical element in the analysis matrix, particularly in patients with severe injury. Currently, there is no standard method for the assessment of time to definitive care after injury among prehospital deaths. This article describes a methodology to estimate total prehospital time and distance for trauma patients transported via ground emergency medical services and helicopter emergency medical services …

Can A State's Water Rights Be Damned? Environmental Flows And Federal Dams In The Supreme Court, Reed D. Benson

Faculty Scholarship

Interstate rivers are subject to the doctrine of equitable apportionment, whereby the Supreme Court seeks to ensure that all states that share such rivers get a fair portion of their benefits. The Court has rarely issued an equitable apportionment decree, however, and there is little law on whether the doctrine protects river flows for environmental purposes. The ongoing Florida v. Georgia litigation in the Supreme Court raises this issue, as Florida seeks to limit consumptive uses by upstream Georgia to preserve flows in the Apalachicola River, which provide both economic and environmental benefits. This Article summarizes both the equitable apportionment …

Nefarious Neighbors: How Living Near Payday Loan Stores Affects Loan Use, Nathalie Martin, Younghee Lim, Aimee Moles, Trey Bickham

Faculty Scholarship

Few of us give much thought to local laws, yet local laws, such as zoning and other land use regulations, have an abiding influence on our lives. Think for a few moments about the types of businesses located near your home. Are these businesses places you frequent? Considering socio-economics, how do land uses differ from locale to locale throughout your city or state? Do all citizens have an equal voice in the land use approval process? The answer is likely no, which creates environmental and economic justice issues.

Like all businesses, when it comes to payday lenders, geography matters. Payday …

Rationale And Design Of An Endocrinology Education Program For Primary Care In Maine: Initiation Of Mainehealth Endo Echo, Irwin Brodsky, Joan Ingram, Stacy O'Brien, Tho Ngo, Charles T. Winchell

Project ECHO Bibliography

Introduction: Primary care practices manage common endocrine disorders with population health and quality of care initiatives that often include algorithmic and protocol-driven workflows. Endo ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a division of Project ECHO, a program that engages primary care physicians (PCPs) in didactic presentations and case discussions to augment conceptual (experiential, nuanced) rather than algorithmic (rote) learning.

Methods: MaineHealth Endo ECHO was designed using the Project ECHO model, which facilitates interactive learning opportunities by connecting specialty providers and PCPs to share best practices for delivering care via video-conferencing. Using a hub-and-spoke model, providers connect for an hour …

Project Echo Revisited: Propensity Score Analysis And Hcv Treatment Outcomes, Kimberly Page, Fares Qeadan, Clifford Qualls, Karla Thornton, Sanjeev Arora

Project ECHO Bibliography

Propensity score analysis is a statistical approach to reduce bias often present in non-randomized observational studies. In this paper we use this method to re-analyze data from a study that assessed whether patients receiving HCV treatment from providers in Project ECHO had different clinical outcomes than patients treated by specialists from an academic medical center (UNM HCV clinic) but in which treatment assignment was not randomized. We modeled the best estimated probability of treatment assignment, and then assess differences overall SVR and SVR in patients with genotype 1 infection by treatment arm using Stabilized Inverse Probability of Treatment Weights (SIPTW). …
