Extraparotid Warthin Tumor Presenting As A Cervical Lymph Node Mass: A Case Report., Kristen E. Bowman, Colin Bashline, Konstantinos C. Mantzios, Jack Kelly, David Maki, David Webb

Marshall Journal of Medicine

A Warthin tumor is a salivary gland neoplasm that arises in the parotid gland which is frequently benign. This case study presents a rare instance of a Warthin tumor occurring in an extraparotid location; specifically, within the left-sided cervical lymph nodes of a 64-year-old male patient. The patient initially presented with fluctuating cervical adenopathy. Although an initial ultrasound-guided biopsy was inconclusive,  a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a well-demarcated, heterogeneous lesion in an atypical location between the parotid gland and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Surgical excision of the mass was performed and the specimen was sent to pathology for further analysis. …

This study contributes to a broader understanding of ecclesial leadership of the Churches of Christ within African Christian contexts and suggests practical pathways for strengthening leadership in similar congregations.

Witness Beyond Technique: Gospel, Conversion, And The Moral Formation Of The Church, Christopher Flanders

Discernment: Theology and the Practice of Ministry

Technique, efficiency, and measurable outcomes typically govern contemporary Western approaches to evangelism. Such approaches presume a thin account of the gospel, a punctiliar understanding of conversion, and an instrumental view of the church’s witness. This article argues that these assumptions represent not merely pragmatic missteps but theological distortions. Drawing on Scripture, historical theology, missiology, and practices of Christian initiation, I contend that evangelism is best understood as ecclesial witness oriented toward the moral formation of persons and communities under the reign of God. Conversion, on this account, is not a discrete decision secured through persuasive technique but a transformative journey …

Preventable Tragedy: A Negligence Case Study In University Recreation Programs, John J. Miller, Jeffrey F. Levine, Jason W. Lee

Global Sport Business Journal

This case study examines the lightning strike that killed a player during a university intramural softball game, emphasizing the importance of understanding legal responsibilities in sport and recreation settings. The incident occurred after visible lightning was observed yet play continued due to the absence of a formal severe-weather policy and uncertainty among student officials and administrators. Although industry standards for lightning safety were widely available, the lack of clear institutional guidance contributed to delayed decision-making and confusion at a critical moment.

This case study is important to students because it demonstrates how legal concepts discussed in class can have real, …

Pedagogical Strategies For Training Psychology Graduate Students: Examining Graduate Students' Satisfaction, Confidence, And Learning Across Three Approaches For Teaching A Standardized Assessment, Emma R. Slade

Ramifications

Competence in assessing mental health concerns, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is essential for psychologists. However, students can learn to use assessment tools in many ways, and students’ preferences and satisfaction with various instructional techniques may predict the extent to which they learn and gain confidence in their ability to apply such learning. The current study was an experiment designed to test how to best teach graduate students to assess ADHD. An instructional paper, a PowerPoint presentation with an included voiceover narration, and a case study applied example were each created to teach students how to administer and interpret the …

From Mogadishu To Minneapolis: Transnational Political And Social Ties In The Somali Diaspora, Kate E. Mcfarland

Young Historians Conference

Beginning in the 1980s, Somalis have fled Somalia in order to escape persecution and political violence, find new economic opportunities, and achieve a better life. One major destination of these migrants is Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is now home to over 80,000 Somalis, making up 18% of Minneapolis’ population. Due to this sizable Somali enclave, Minneapolis and Somalia have created and maintained a transnational relationship. This paper examines that relationship, focusing on the causes of the Somali diaspora, evidence of transnational connections (such as remittances, cultural exchange, and political effects), and the challenges that threaten this tie. Understanding this relationship is …

The Great Plague Of Marseille, Lucy Herzig

Young Historians Conference

This paper examines the causes and consequences of the Great Plague of Marseille (1720-1722), which was one of Western Europe's last major outbreaks of the bubonic plague. Although European port cities had developed quarantine systems to prevent epidemics, Marseille’s outbreak revealed how these protections failed in practice. This paper argues that the plague became so devastating not because of a lack of institutional systems, but due to fragmented local authority, delayed government intervention, and the prioritization of economic interests over public health. Focusing on the arrival of the merchant ship Grand-Saint-Antoine, this paper analyzes how merchant elites influenced quarantine decisions, …

Rhetoric, Shakespeare, And Tony Soprano: The Influence Of Suetonius's The Life Of Julius Caesar In Personalizing The Leader, Eben N. Cole

Young Historians Conference

History has presented a group of leaders who have been frequently studied and written about; Julius Caesar is among these leaders. The common historical narrative which examines his life has brought particular attention to not only Julius Caesar's leadership, but also Caesar as an individual. During the 2nd century CE, in Ancient Rome, the writer Suetonius published his 12 Caesars, a collection of biographies that included Suetonius's biography of Julius Caesar. Throughout the 12 Caesars, Suetonius would depict his subjects in a manner that was less factual than other biographies which preceded his, yet the 12 Caesars became more influential …

Under Chiron's Care, Deethya Trivedi

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

This painting depicts young Asclepius under the guidance of Chiron, the wise centaur renowned for his knowledge of healing and medicine. In Greek mythology, Asclepius was entrusted to Chiron after Apollo recognized his potential. Within the nurturing environment of Chiron’s home, Asclepius absorbed lessons on the use of medicinal herbs, wound treatment, and the foundational principles of care, skills that would eventually elevate him to become the Greek God of Medicine. The herbs symbolize hands-on learning and the practical foundation of healing, while the book signifies the accumulation and sharing of knowledge, showing how medical innovation progresses through study, collaboration, …

Artificial Intelligence In Medicine: Barriers, Solutions, And Strategies, Anil Harrison, Melissa Stradley Moreno, Caroline E. Williams, Munevver Mine Subasi, Ersoy Subasi

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into health care holds the potential to revolutionize patient care by enhancing clinical decision-making, improving diagnostic accuracy, and reducing costs. Despite this promise, adoption remains limited due to a range of technical, regulatory, educational, and cultural barriers. This paper examines these challenges and proposes strategies to support safe and effective implementation of AI in clinical practice.

Key barriers include the lack of model interpretability, often referred to as the "black box" problem, which undermines clinician trust and accountability in clinical settings, evolving regulatory frameworks and unresolved questions surrounding liability, and …

The Role Of Simulation In General Surgery Residency: Advancing Technical Proficiency And Clinical Confidence, Matthew A. Daniel, Alyssa Mcmandon, Rachel Daley, Andrew Gustetic, Alexis Howarth, Meghana Jacob, Holden Lewis, Kushali Patel, Taylor Locklear, Saptarshi Biswas

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Surgical training has changed significantly over the past several decades, largely due to advances in technology. After the introduction of laparoscopic and robotic surgery into residency programs, simulation-based training (SBT) has become an important addition to surgical education. Simulation-based training offers a safe and structured environment to practice skills, receive feedback, and develop technical and non-technical abilities. While its benefits are well recognized, wider use of SBT continues to face challenges, including high costs, limited faculty availability, and time constraints within residency schedules. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and standardized simulation frameworks may help address …
