Improving Patients’ Perception Of Provider Trust And Communication With Birth Plans, Christelle Reeves, Nicole Tenzel, Timothy Kremer Apr 2024

Improving Patients’ Perception Of Provider Trust And Communication With Birth Plans, Christelle Reeves, Nicole Tenzel, Timothy Kremer

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Objective: Birth plans are an effective tool for a pregnant person to express their desires and expectations for labor and postpartum. Shortcomings of birth plans can be found whenever there is a lapse in communication between provider and patient. In the management of labor and emergent situations, it has been observed by patients that obstetric providers can communicate in authoritarian and dismissive manners. In response to this, birth plans were developed to serve as a guide in these scenarios. Birth plans allow a pregnant person to design a thoughtful plan of action with their healthcare provider before giving birth, rather …

Functional foods are food items that should be consumed as part of a regular diet in order to provide advantages beyond what are typically referred to as traditional nutritional benefits. Furthermore, in order to support the better function claim or the decreased illness risk claim, these positive outcomes must be scientifically proven. Foods with particular health benefits have been referred to as "superfoods" more recently. Superfoods are conceptually defined as foods with high biological value because of their high concentration of bioactive components and high concentration of nutrients, as well as their high bioavailability and bioactivity in the body. As …

Rare Rectal Lipoma Case Report, Victoria Nguyen, Sean Sojdie, Kunal Elete, Justin Richardson, Long Hoang

North Texas Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: Colonic lipomas are rare, benign non-epithelial lesions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that predominantly affect elderly females and often found in the ascending colon. They are least common in the rectum, with a prevalence of 3.4%. Lipomas can grow to cause abdominal pain, bleeding, or obstruction. We report an incidental finding of a rectal lipoma in a patient presented with rectal bleeding. CASE: A 70 year-old male with a history of migraines presented to the hospital for two weeks of rectal bleeding and syncopal episode prior to arrival. Patient had visited the emergency department two weeks prior, but hemoglobin …


Increasing Online Reviews And New Patients In Clinic With Qr Codes, Tristan Fun, Danielle Ford Jan 2024

Increasing Online Reviews And New Patients In Clinic With Qr Codes, Tristan Fun, Danielle Ford

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Patient census at the Medical City Internal Medicine Grand Prairie clinic has been lower comparatively to other HCA Healthcare clinics. Although the cause can be multifaceted, the clinic’s online presence (e.g. Google Maps) is minimal. One initial issue with the clinic’s online presence was the lack of reviews on the Google page for the clinic. One way to increase online reviews is to provide Quick Response (QR) codes in the clinic for patients to scan on their smartphone. The goal of this project is to increase the number of Google reviews for the clinic through QR codes to at …

Type Ii Diabetes And Keto Diet In Family Medicine Clinic: A Case Report, Dante Paredes, Karos Torres, Joshua Moton

North Texas Research Forum 2024

The management of patients with high cardiac risk profiles who require insulin therapy for diabetes can be challenging due to the potential adverse effects of insulin on cardiovascular health. In order to achieve remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and discontinue the need for insulin, weight loss has long been recognized as a valuable approach. The goal for this case was to implement dietary and lifestyle changes in a safe and efficient manner to induce remission of T2DM, without increasing the sympathetic load often associated with fully dosed ketogenic and other fasting strategies. This case report highlights the successful …

Effect Of The Intern Survival Book Handbook In Medical City Fort Worth Family Medicine Residency Program, Nancy Sang, Harry Pham, Tammy Nguyen, Zara Soomro, Patrick Feng

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Background: The optimization of medical training is a critical concern amid dynamic shifts in both medical and societal landscapes. Research indicates that a substantial proportion of medical trainees experience stress, anxiety, and depression, with an estimated depression rate of 29% among medical residents, compared to 8% among nonphysicians. Furthermore, the suicide rate among physicians is twice that of the general population. Difficulty in adapting to new environments, responsibilities, and training levels exacerbate these challenges. This study evaluates the efficacy of "The Intern Survival Handbook" in mitigating stressors among new trainees, enhancing their work performance, and promoting overall mental health. Methods: …
