Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism With Bi-Atrial Cardiac Thrombi Entrapped In A Patent Foramen Ovale, Denise Mourad, Fahd Eissa Mohamed, Yashi Ballal, Elie Mrad, Natasa Petreska, Sachin Singh, Paritharsh Ghantasala

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Bi-atrial thrombi with bilateral pulmonary embolism (PE) through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is rare and life-threatening, requiring urgent management due to embolization risk. We present a 53-year-old female with left lower extremity extensive deep vein thrombosis (DVT), bilateral PE, and bi-atrial thrombi straddling a PFO. She underwent thrombectomy, PFO closure, and pulmonary embolectomy but later experienced recurrent DVT and PE. Anticoagulation was limited due to bleeding risk given a recent neurosurgery. Literature lacks clear guidelines for managing such cases necessitating individualized treatment. This case highlights the complexity of bi-atrial thrombi with PFO and the need for further research to …

Investigation Of The Optimal Length Of Discharge Summaries In Care Transitions: A Cross-Sectional Study, Taku Harada, Shintaro Kosaka, Aki Morishima, Seitaro Iguchi

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Introduction

Discharge summaries are essential documents that support continuity of care during patient transitions between inpatient and outpatient settings. They help ensure that crucial clinical information is conveyed accurately and completely. However, while their clinical significance is well established, there is little consensus on the optimal format, particularly in terms of length and structural clarity. Excessively brief summaries may omit key details, while overly lengthy ones can hinder efficient information transfer. Despite varied suggestions in the literature—ranging from half a page to four pages—empirical data on physician preferences are limited.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional, web-based survey among physicians who …

Practical Pre-Rotation Resources Enhance Knowledge And Attitude Towards Discharge Planning For Medical Students, Ho-Man Yeung

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Interdisciplinary discharge planning is known to be a difficult subject for medical students to comprehend given its convoluted nature. There is no standardized curriculum for students and there is a large variety between every inpatient rotations. Internal Medicine in particular sees variety of patients with unique psychosocial challenges. We previously proposed tools that are simple and specifically designed for learners and students including pyramid of discharge needs and disposition flow chart. Our current work examines the efficacy of using these resources by fourth year medical students during their subinternship rotation. Between May and September 2023, 54 students completed the rotation. …

Age-Dependent Changes In Reproductive Behaviour And Success In A Long-Lived Beetle (Bolitotherus Cornutus), C. A. Greene, L. D. Mitchem, Vitor Dos Anjos , '21, E. D. Brodie Iii, Vincent A. Formica

Biology Faculty Works

Age-related changes in behaviors often result in shifts in an individual’s competitive ability, reproductive success, and fitness. However, how mating behaviors, aggression, and mating success simultaneously change as individuals age in natural populations remains understudied. Investigating these age-dependent effects in wild populations could reveal how age-specific patterns shape social dynamics and influence natural selection. In this study, we ask how behaviors associated with mating and reproductive success vary across age in a wild metapopulation of a long-lived beetle, Bolitotherus cornutus. We used both cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a multi-year field study of individually marked beetles to investigate how …

"Elements Don’T Mix!": Unearthing Racial Scripts And A Rhetorical Economy Of Whiteness In Disney And Pixar's Elemental, Linsay M. Cramer, Gabriel A. Cruz

Communication, Media, and Culture

Using a narrative rhetorical approach, we map how Disney and Pixar’s 2023 film, Elemental, sustains a rhetorical economy of whiteness, as theorized by Asen and Kelly, which emphasizes the degree to which rhetorical constructions of racial difference are foundational to whiteness and economic systems. We identify and critique how Elemental discursively contributes to a system of exclusivity for those within the bounds of whiteness concerning economic mobility via racial scripts. Created and produced during Joe Biden’s United States (U.S.) presidential term (2021–2025), Elemental offers a metaphorical tale that engages the fractious, politically conservative anxieties concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) …

Thermo-Driven Structural And Optical Variations For The Improved Bidirectional Photodetection Of Ag2o@ Cdte Thin Films, Ahmed M. Nawar, Ahmed Ramzy, Shehab E. Ali, A. A.M. Farag, Ahmed M. El-Mahalawy

Nanotechnology Research Centre

Bidirectional photodetection is an emerging functionality in advanced optoelectronic systems, characterized by the ability of a photodetector to respond to the incident light under both forward and reverse biasing voltage. For this aim, a layer of silver oxide (Ag2O) is deposited on CdTe thin films, and then, directly, the fabricated Ag2O@CdTe samples on quartz and n-Si substrates are thermally annealed (from 100 to 400◦C). In general, the surface topography is driven by the post-annealing process; besides that, the crystallinity of Ag2O@CdTe samples is improved at 200◦C. The optical characteristics of transmittance and reflectance spectrophotometric measurements at normal incidence revealed a …

Application On Convolution For Fuzzy Differential Subordination Of Meromorphic Functions, Kholood Mohamed Alsager, Fethi̇ye Müge Sakar, Alina Alb Lupas, Sheza Mohamed El-Deeb

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper investigates fuzzy differential subordinations involving meromorphic functions defined in the punctured unit disk. A novel operator based on the Hadamard product (also known as convolution) is introduced to establish new results in the theory of fuzzy differential subordination. This operator provides a generalized framework that extends classical analytic methods to the fuzzy setting, offering new insights into the geometric behavior of meromorphic functions under fuzzy conditions. Several sufficient conditions for fuzzy differential subordination are derived, and their connections to existing results are discussed. The findings contribute to the growing body of literature at the intersection of classical geometric …

Applications Of A New Linear Operator Involving Dziok-Srivastava Operator And Bessel Function Of The First Kind, Daniela Andrada Bardac-Vlada, Georgia Irina Oros

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This study introduces a new linear operator constructed from the well-known Dziok–Srivastava linear hypergeometric operator, the Bessel function of the first kind, and convolution. Applying the new operator, a class of functions with positive real part is defined and investigated concerning inclusion relations, the necessary and sufficient conditions for functions to belong to this class, as well as starlikeness and convexity conditions. The properties of the new class to be convex of a certain order, close-to-convex and starlike of a certain order are highlighted and examples are also included to prove that the new outcome is applicable. The methods employed …
