Queer Patients: An Underserved And At Risk Population, Joshua Schmidt
Queer Patients: An Underserved And At Risk Population, Joshua Schmidt
Capstone Showcase
Queer patients in America have faced a history of discrimination as both a community and as individuals. As such, this marginalization acts as a barrier to resources, including healthcare. Clinicians must be aware of said barrier and actively work towards dismantling it within their interactions with queer patients. This article makes a case for increasing sexual health conversations in order to assess queer patients and encourage a stronger patient-provider relationship for a community that is reluctant to seek medical attention, and also more likely to participate in higher risk behaviors.
Eagle Syndrome: Efficacies Of Medical And Surgical Treatments, Kirklin Mitchell
Eagle Syndrome: Efficacies Of Medical And Surgical Treatments, Kirklin Mitchell
Capstone Showcase
Eagle Syndrome is a rare syndrome caused by elongation of the styloid process of the temporal bone or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament occurring in a very small percentage of the population that can cause a wide range of common symptoms, leading to it being often misdiagnosed. While there are no set standards for treating Eagle Syndrome, both pharmaceutical and surgical options exist. Pharmaceutical options are often ineffective in long term treatment so surgery is usually required for full symptom resolution. Transoral and Transcervical surgeries have similar efficacies but each come with important drawbacks when considering which type of surgery …
Clinical Pearls To Diagnosing Lyme Arthritis, Chandelle Keller
Clinical Pearls To Diagnosing Lyme Arthritis, Chandelle Keller
Capstone Showcase
Arthritis is one of the most common long term sequelae of Lyme disease infection in humans. Although the pathophysiology for Lyme arthritis is not concretely understood, there are several key features that are helpful in diagnosing Lyme disease as the culprit for the arthritic symptoms that an individual is experiencing. With a thorough history of an individuals’ age, geographic location, recent travel history and common outdoor recreational activities engaged in, a differential can be narrowed down. With the knowledge of how various arthritides present in the body, along with the use of diagnostic testing with ELISA and Western immunoblot, any …
Non-Pharmacological Management Of Idiopathic/Persistent Dyspareunia, Iveshia Ford
Non-Pharmacological Management Of Idiopathic/Persistent Dyspareunia, Iveshia Ford

Painful sexual intercourse, or dyspareunia, is a condition numerous women experience. An unknown, but still important, number of those affected find no relief with medication or surgery. Yet, it can be difficult for patients to discuss concerns with their provider. In addition, many providers do not have an adequate comfort level to discuss such topics. This paper aims to equip providers with non-pharmacological treatment options which include pelvic floor physical therapy, sex therapy and lifestyle changes. With the cultural shifts and changing ideas of sexuality in today’s age, it is important that clinicians remain versed in sexual health and patient …

Natural brain processes make all individuals susceptible to unconscious bias; however, stressful, fearful, or anger-evoking situations as well as the negative influence of media and social surroundings increase the risk of holding obstructive bias, and there is a greater risk of being negatively impacted by this phenomenon when belonging to a minority population (Rose & Flores, 2020). As a result, high rates of infant mortality (10.2 deaths per 1,000 live births for the Non-Hispanic Black population compared to 4.1 in the White population) and cardiovascular related diseases (190.0 cases per 1,000 in the Non-Hispanic Black population compared to 161.3 in …

Understanding One Dietary Supplement For Pcos, Eva Schofield

Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common condition in women of reproductive age, yet nearly 70% of individuals with PCOS remain undiagnosed. For many women who do receive a diagnosis, it takes experiencing symptoms for two years or longer and receiving care from an average of 3 different providers before a diagnosis can be established. In an environment where prevalence is high, diagnosis rate is low and delayed, and dissatisfaction is prevalent regarding the health care women receive, many patients may turn to self-diagnosis and online resources to find their own therapeutic options. This CME article aims to …

The Dogma Of Tissue Ischemia With Local Anesthetic And Epinephrine Use, Laura Morrissey
Capstone Showcase
Epinephrine is often combined with Lidocaine for local anesthetic use as it improves the duration and quality of Lidocaine and promotes wound hemostasis.1-2 Despite these benefits, epinephrine has been historically contraindicated from being injected into fingers, toes, ears and the nose due to concern over the vasoconstrictive properties of epinephrine leading to ischemia in these end-arteriole areas.3-7 However, there is very little documented evidence of this happening with epinephrine use.5-13 An exhaustive review done by Denkler in 2001 reviewed 21 cases between 1889-2001 that involve epinephrine local injection prior to digit ischemia. However, none of these cases …
