Quiet, Thashali Anthony

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

According to theatrical superstition, saying “Macbeth” in the theater when you aren’t actively performing or rehearsing foreshadows impending doom. In a similar way, in the hospital, its own production of sorts where medical staff is under pressure to perform, it’s the "Q" word. We all dread the "Q" word and are vexed with anyone who dares say it. Yet sometimes wandering the hospital during night float, I often feel a profound sense of "Quiet." The word is typically associated with a lack of it, but I find there is a certain peace with being alone with one’s thoughts. Residency can …

Structured Textbook Review And Individualized Learning Plans Successfully Remediate Underperforming Residents And Improve General Surgery Program Performance On The Absite, Aaron Pinnola, Christoph Kaufmann

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin condition of the pilosebaceous unit in adolescents and young adults and is primarily characterized by the presence of open and closed comedones. In patients of various skin pigmentations, skin-colored comedones may be difficult to appreciate and lead to incorrect or delayed diagnosis of acne. To aid in the identification of acne vulgaris in patients of various skin pigmentations, we present comedonal acne in different skin types and commonly encountered differential diagnoses. With its significant volume and burden of disease, acne vulgaris should be correctly identified in various skin pigmentations by primary care clinicians …

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy: A Possible Trigger For Dieulafoy's Lesion, Ali Tariq Alvi, Elsa Tchouambou, Murali Shankar

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Introduction

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a medical condition commonly seen in clinical practice due to variable etiologies and a multitude of presentations. The patients can present with hematemesis, melena, or hematochezia in case of severe bleeding. The initial evaluation should involve assessing the hemodynamic status with adequate resuscitation followed by diagnostic tests to identify the source and potentially treat it. Dieulafoy's lesion, sometimes referred to as Dieulafoy's disease, is a rare cause of upper GI bleeding with no clear risk factors, which makes it a diagnostic conundrum. Here we describe an unusual case of Dieulafoy's lesion developing following percutaneous …

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Introduction

Primary mucinous carcinoma of the thyroid is an exceedingly rare malignancy that is histologically similar to mucinous carcinoma of other sites. Accurate diagnosis is a challenging yet crucial component of clinical management for both patients and our understanding of this rare disease.

Case Presentation

We report the case of a 69-year-old male patient with primary mucinous carcinoma of the thyroid. Microscopic examination of a biopsy specimen showed fibrous tissue, which was extensively and irregularly infiltrated by a cytologically malignant epithelial neoplasm showing glandular differentiation with mucin production. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that tumor cells were positive for TTF1, thyroglobulin, CK7, and …

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Introduction

Microcystic serous cystadenomas are uncommon, benign neoplasms rarely known to progress to malignancy. They are typically asymptomatic and inadvertently discovered during imaging for another unrelated condition. When discovered, they are commonly found in females over 60 years of age.

Case Presentation

In this case report, we examine a unique presentation of a serous cystadenoma discovered when a 19-year-old male presented with symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Conclusion

Previous studies on serous cystadenomas in a younger male demographic are rare. Therefore, this study will provide additional insight into the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of cystadenomas in young …

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Introduction

Gastric bypass surgery is an effective surgical intervention for morbid obesity. However, it is not without risk. Gastric bypass surgery may produce malabsorptive or surgical complications, which can result in nutritional deficiencies as well as syndromes related to bacterial overgrowth in the blind loops of the bowel.

Case Presentation

Severe nutritional deficiencies may occur due to patient noncompliance with the prescribed regimen, or arise secondary to malabsorptive or mechanical surgical complications. We describe a case of a 37-year-old female who underwent gastric bypass surgery and experienced a recalcitrant eczematous eruption with sporadic subcutaneous, purulent nodules which completely resolved after …

A stepwise logistic regression was used to identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with home …

Variation In Transcript Reports Among Residency Applicants: An Anesthesia Program’S Perspective, Alex M. Hendon, Imani Thornton

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

With recent changes made to move USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1 scores to Pass/Fail, it becomes necessary to find other metrics to evaluate residency candidates. One conserved metric included in all residency applications is medical school transcripts. This study aims to highlight the highly varied transcript reporting in a new era of holistic applicant review.

Ebola Distribution Prediction

Defensive Publications Series

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe, fatal illness for human whose average fatality rate is around 50%. The current outbreak in West Africa is the largest and most complex one since the Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976.

In this outbreak, the most severely affected countries are Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia (as figure 1 shows). On the other hand, these three countries lack the necessary health and treatment systems to fight against Ebola. Thus, in this paper we only consider these three countries as our research objects.

The Influence Of Creativity And Learning Motivation On Entrepreneurial Intentions Of Fisheries Vocational High School Students, Priyono Priyono, Achmad Imam Agung, I Gusti Putu Asto Buditjahjanto, Lilik Anifah, Tomi Agfianto

Jurnal Pendidikan Vokasi

The fisheries department is one of the expertise programs in Vocational High Schools (VHS). Learning motivation towards the entrepreneurial intention of VHS students majoring in fisheries is still low. This is supported by the fact that some students do not know the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and learning motivation, which can arouse students' intentions for entrepreneurship. Therefore, this research aims to see the effect of creativity and learning motivation on the entrepreneurial intentions of VHS students majoring in fisheries. This research is ex post facto research with a quantitative approach because the data is generated in the form of numbers …
