Successful Treatment Of Radiation-Induced Colitis And Enteritis With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Mark D. Ringle, Jeffrey S. Cooper

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction

Previously irradiated tissue is characterized by changes including decreased vascularity, impaired cellular proliferation, and local hypoxia consistent with fibroblastic atrophy which can persist long after radiation therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of complications arising from these late effects of radiation on normal tissue through enhancing fibroblast proliferation, collagen maturation, stem cell recruitment, and angiogenesis.

Methods

We report on three patients with debilitating radiation enterocolitis causing issues including recurrent bowel obstruction, anorexia requiring total parenteral nutrition, pain, diarrhea, fecal incontinence, dehydration, and malnutrition.

Results

In all three cases marked improvement was the …

Hybrid Laparoscopic And Endoscopic Management Of Gastric Band Erosion Resulting In Bowel Obstruction, Katie Marrero Md, Michael Nolte Md, John Kim Do, Facs, Christian Perez Md, Facs, Fasmbs

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

While laparoscopic gastric banding is not as prevalent, the management of patients with a history of gastric banding remains a concern. Gastric bands have been noted to erode and can migrate through the bowel leading to a variety of issues. We were able to successfully manage this almost completely endoscopically without the need for a bowel enterotomy for retrieval. This allowed for enhanced patient recovery and avoided the morbidity associated with bowel enterotomy which is commonly done in these settings.

Introducer-Free Mis-Assisted Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement: A Technical Document, Eric Chen, Patrick Opperman, Edson Deoliveira, Priscila Rodrigues Armijo, Vishal Kothari, Daniel Surdell

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Background

The placement of the distal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) can be challenging in patients with a large body habitus. Given the complications associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunts and known infection risk of obese patients, new techniques for VPS placement that bypass the abdominal fat must be sought. By avoiding the abdominal fat, decreased complications and infection risk may be possible.

Objective

The objective of this technical document is to describe a laparoscopic approach to the abdominal cavity during ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery that makes use of a direct tunneling technique into the peritoneal space.

Methods

We perform a ventriculoperitoneal …

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For Cerebral Radiation Necrosis Secondary To Stereotactic Radiation: A Case Series, Sruti Prathivadhi-Bhayankaram, Jeffrey S. Cooper

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an excellent option for the treatment of numerous central nervous system diseases. There exist several forms of SRS, including gamma-knife surgery (GKS) and cyber-knife surgery. The most significant complication of SRS is the delayed effects of therapeutic radiation, also known as radionecrosis. The current treatment options for radionecrosis have a significant side effect profile and posit challenges for medical management. More recently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has emerged as an option for treatment with minimal side effects.

Methods: We present a retrospective case series examining ten patients treated with HBO2 after receiving radiotherapy. Of …

Intimate Partner Violence In Plastic Surgery Practice: Perceptions And Preparedness Amongst Practicing Plastic Surgeons, Sophie L. Cemaj, Collin J. Macdonald, Bria R. Meyer, Erin M. Shriver, Sean Figy

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

INTRODUCTION

It is estimated that 4 of 10 women in the United States have experienced one or more forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime. The US Preventative Service Task Force recommends that clinicians screen women of reproductive age for IPV and refer women who screen positive to ongoing support services (B recommendation). We aim to identify the perceptions, attitudes, and preparedness of plastic surgeons regarding intimate partner violence

METHODS

An IRB approved survey was sent to members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The survey contained three sections: (1) surgeon and practice demographics, (2) surgeon experience …

Seasonal Variation Of Hip Fractures In Patients With Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, Steven D. Curry, Pooja M. Varman, Alessandro Carotenuto, Justin C. Siebler, Jonathan L. Hatch

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction: Seasonal variation of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) presentation has been reported, with higher rates of presentation in months associated with times of lower serum vitamin D levels. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the timing of hip fracture in patients with BPPV.

Methods: A retrospective review (2013 to 2019) of adult patients was performed at a tertiary care academic center to identify patients with hip fracture due to ground level fall (ICD-10 code S72) and a previously established diagnosis of vestibular disorder (ICD-10 codes H81-83, A88.1, and R42). Included patients were …

A Glimpse Into Urology Medical School Education: A Multi-Institutional Medical Student Survey, David Fu, Jesus Perez, Jinfeng Jiang, Christopher M. Deibert

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction: Urological education and exposure for medical students is imperative as we face a growing geriatric population with increased urological needs. Previous research has examined American Urological Association (AUA) program director opinions of student exposure, but no surveys have been directed at current medical students. The purpose of this study is to quantify student exposure to and opinions of urology to determine precipitating factors that lead students towards or away from urology as a specialty of choice.

Methods: A 14 question (11 multiple choice and 3 fill-in-the blank) Google Survey was developed. Questions ranged from student exposure to urology, consideration …

Scholarly Activity In Residency: A Needs Assessment Of Challenges And Proposed Solutions, Jonathan Hall, Jana L. Wardian Phd, Jasmine R. Marcelin

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Introduction

Resident physician participation in scholarly activity is associated with significant benefits ranging from trainees’ personal development to improved quality of patient care. Residency programs have taken varied approaches to improve resident engagement in scholarship, though interventions have demonstrated mixed results regarding objective measures of scholarly productivity. Concerns regarding waining interest in scholarship amongst internal medicine residents prompted a department-wide needs assessment to evaluate opportunities for scholarship and challenges preventing resident participation.

Methods

A web-based survey was developed and distributed to Department of Internal Medicine faculty and residents at the PGY2 level or higher and recent graduates within the last …
