Inclusive Language Matters: Recommendations For Health Care Providers To Address Implicit Bias And Equitable Health Care, Crystal R. Herron

Journal of Maine Medical Center

Problem Statement: Stigmatizing language—written and verbal—can fuel implicit bias among health care professionals, leading to unintentional negative effects in how they care for patients. To provide equitable care, health care professionals and systems must become aware of the language they use and learn to replace biased language with inclusive language.

Background: The medical field strives to treat all patients equally, yet disparities in health care persist. These disparities are due, in part, to implicit bias that affects how health care professionals and systems care for patients. Although reports recommend developing education programs that address implicit bias, these programs fail to …

Omental Tuberculosis In A Patient With Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis-The Diagnostic And Treatment Dilemma, Ekta Tirthani, Mina Said

Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery

Alcoholic cirrhosis is frequently complicated by spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) due to the translocation of gut bacteria. However, in immigrants to the USA from parts of the world with high tuberculosis burden, a high degree of clinical suspicion of tuberculous peritonitis should be maintained when a patient presents with symptoms similar to SBP. We describe a case of a 45-year-old Nepali man with a history of alcohol abuse who immigrated to the USA six years prior and presented to the hospital with abdominal pain, night sweats, fevers, and a 10 kg weight loss. A CT scan revealed abdominopelvic ascites, liver …
