Intraoperative Icg-Nir Fluorescence Angiography Visualization Of Testicular Perfusion In Operations For Testicular Torsion, Colton D. Wayne, Mohammad A. Emran, Leon Smith-Harrison, P. Stephen Almond, Haroon I. Patel, Shannon Koehler

MEDI 9331 Scholarly Activities Clinical Years

Purpose: Indocyanine Green (ICG) near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence angiography is used in assessing testicular perfusion after reduction of testicular torsion to assess tissue viability.

Introduction: Determination of viability of a testicle after reduction of a testicular torsion has been performed by numerous methods including visual assessment, Doppler ultrasound, and cutting the testicular capsule. Each of these has limitations, are not always reproducible, and may involve damage to the testicle and confusion of capsular blood flow for internal perfusion. A possible alternative to these methods is the use of ICG-NIR fluorescence angiography. ICG was FDA-approved in 1959 and has been …

Pancreatic Cancer And Its Relationship To New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Adedayo Okanlawon, Stacy M. Sebastian, Angel Rendon, Allan Fonseca

MEDI 9331 Scholarly Activities Clinical Years

The fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States is pancreatic cancer [1,2,6]. Typically affecting older adults between the ages of 60-80, pancreatic cancer carries a high mortality partially due to its late diagnosis [1,2]. There is no uniform screening recommendation provided by any medical organization; however cutaneous or endoscopic ultrasounds may prove useful to screen individuals at high risk for developing pancreatic cancer. Several risk factors for pancreatic cancer are non-modifiable such as hereditary or genetic causes while others are modifiable through lifestyle adjustments such as obesity, alcohol consumption, type 2 diabetes, medication use [2,3]. The goal …

Dyspraxia In Medical Education: A Collaborative Autoethnography, Eleanor R. Walker, Sebastian C. K. Shaw, John L. Anderson

The Qualitative Report

In this paper we adopt an autoethnographic approach to explore the lived experiences of a UK medical student with dyspraxia within the current culture of UK medical education. An initial review of the literature revealed that there is now growing evidence regarding the difficulties experienced by, and support needed for medical students and doctors with dyslexia. However, no research has been conducted concerning dyspraxia on its own in medical education. Here we seek to provide an in-depth account of a UK undergraduate medical student with dyspraxia. It is hoped that this will have three outcomes: to support both students and …

Autoethnography As A Decolonizing Methodology: Reflections On Masta’S What The Grandfathers Taught Me, Dung T. Pham, June E. Gothberg

The Qualitative Report

As an Asian graduate student and a Native professor at a U.S. Midwestern Predominantly White Institution, we reflected upon Masta’s (2018) article, What the Grandfathers Taught Me: Lessons for an Indian Country Researcher, to examine the decolonizing aspects of autoethnography. Masta’s use of autoethnography to explore her experiences provides a deeply personal view into the phenomenon of living and researching Indigenous in an America that is inherently White in character, tradition, structure, and culture. The use of participatory and constructivist Indigenous autoethnography places the lived experience of an Indigenous woman at the center of the study, using the Indigenous …
