Early Surgical Decompression For The Treatment Of Hourglass-Like Constriction Of The Posterior Interosseus Nerve, Nathan Redlich, Matan Ozery, Adam Haydel, Charles Cush, Rasheed Ahmad

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome refers to a rare compressive neuropathy of the PIN resulting in motor dysfunction of the forearm extensor compartment. Often, surgical exploration will reveal extrinsic structures that mechanically compress the nerve. Less frequently, PIN syndrome has been reported with a visible hourglass-like constriction and no identifiable causative adjacent structures. In our report, we describe an adolescent patient with PIN syndrome and associated hourglass-like constriction of the PIN. For diagnosis, we used physical examination, preoperative imaging, nerve studies, and intraoperative findings. To monitor recovery, we performed serial neurological examinations and documented patient-reported functional outcomes. The patient underwent …

Screening And Treatment Of Iron Deficiency Among Heart Failure Patients With Impaired Ejection Fraction: The Impact Of A Pharmacist-Led Protocol, Firas Al Badarin, Feras Bader, Bassam Atallah

Faculty Scholarship

Background: Despite guideline-recommended routine screening and iron deficiency (ID) treatment among heart failure (HF) patients, these practices are often underutilized. Currently, limited data are available on the outcomes of pharmacists' programs to enhance ID screening and management. Accordingly, we sought to describe the frequency and yield of screening for ID and intravenous (IV) iron replacement rates among our cohort of HF patients and examined the impact of implementing a pharmacist-led protocol (PLP) aimed at enhancing these rates. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving HF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <45% at a quaternary care hospital in the Middle East/Gulf region. The PLP was introduced in August 2022. Data on demographics, comorbidities, echocardiographic parameters, laboratory findings (including ID screening and its findings), and rates of treatment with IV iron replacement were analyzed and compared between the pre-implementation group (n = 432, October 2015–February 2020) and the post-implementation group (n = 154, August 2022–January 2023). Results: Before the PLP, 63.2% (n = 273) of eligible patients underwent ID screening, with 80.6% (n = 220) found to have ID. Following the implementation of the PLP, screening rates significantly increased to 86.4% (n = 133) (p = 0.03), with 53.4% (n = 71) diagnosed with ID. The rate of IV iron replacement in ID patients improved from 30.4% (n = 67) in the pre-PLP group to 73% (n = 52) in the post-PLP group (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression identified baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and hemoglobin levels as significant predictors of IV iron replacement in the pre-PLP cohort. Conclusions: Implementing a pharmacist-led protocol was significantly associated with enhancing the screening and treatment of ID in patients with HF and LVEF <45%. This study demonstrates the crucial role of pharmacists in optimizing guideline-directed therapies, which can be replicated in various healthcare settings.

Seguir Adelante: A Qualitative Exploration Of Latino Farmworkers' Work And Nonwork Resources., Faviola Robles Saenz, Julissa Castellanos Regalado, Larry Martinez, Greg Townley

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Latino immigrant workers have been an exploited community within many dangerous workforces, but especially within the agricultural industry. They are a crucial population for the labor and economy of the U.S., yet Latino farmworkers report feeling expendable, discriminated against, and exposed to hazardous working conditions. Due to these experiences, it is essential to explore the resources that farmworkers find valuable in improving their working conditions. This study draws upon qualitative interviews conducted with 41 Latino farmworkers in Oregon. Themes pertaining to work and nonwork resources were uncovered through thematic analysis, illustrating that farmworkers receive support from their proximal communities and …

Reparations For Project One Hundred Thousand, Eleanor T. Morales

Duke Law Journal

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) created a new program that targeted marginalized communities, resulting in thousands of deaths and adversely impacting the lives of more than one hundred thousand others. This Article—which draws on original archival research from obscure DOD files—uncovers the origins and effects of the program called “Project One Hundred Thousand.” This research reveals that the program drafted members of impoverished communities to serve in the place of more privileged men, who received draft exemptions. The program enabled the U.S. government to continue the war at scale without incurring an unacceptable loss of …

Fair Notice Is A Sociopolitical Choice, Alexander Zhang

Duke Law Journal

This Article reframes a deadlocked debate about “fair notice” as a justification for statutory interpretation methods by developing a historical account of a crucial, overlooked dimension: legislatures’ and laypeople’s value judgments about notice. On one side of the debate are idealists who contend, on due process grounds, that judges should embrace interpretive methods and theories based on how well they promote fair notice. On the other side are realists who counter, on empirical grounds, that perfect notice is impossible. Each side continues to talk past the other because we lack a fleshed-out framework for evaluating when the fair-notice basis of …

Finding A Purpose In Bruen's World, Timothy J. Southam

Duke Law Journal

Fewer than seven months after the Highland Park mass shooting, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Protect Illinois Communities Act (“PICA”), a statewide ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. Gun-rights advocates have characterized PICA (and other similar strong state gun laws) as unconstitutional laws intentionally enacted to defy the Supreme Court’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms. In response to such severe accusations, especially in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, this Note assesses these claims using PICA as a case study. Through an investigation of its legislative history—an investigation that …

By Scalpel Or Chainsaw: The Status Of Pre-Bruen Case Law In The Lower Courts, Thomas Moy

Duke Law Journal

The Second Amendment is in a state of flux. After the U.S. Supreme Court decided District of Columbia v. Heller, the lower federal courts coalesced around a means-end scrutiny test to judge the constitutionality of gun control laws. But enter New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. The analysis now centers around a test that focuses on text, history, and tradition. Courts have a new test with few guidelines about how to apply it.

Given the lack of guidance, courts have struggled to answer a key question: What pre-Bruen case law is still valid? Utilizing the undocumented immigrant …
