Reoperative Cardiac Surgeries: The Inception Of An Institutional Database, Brandon Follick, James K. Wu Md
Reoperative Cardiac Surgeries: The Inception Of An Institutional Database, Brandon Follick, James K. Wu Md
James K. Wu, M.D.
Abstract The success of an initial cardiac surgery promotes longer survival rates among patients who may live long enough to require further surgical intervention. Unfortunately these reoperations are associated with higher risks. Retrospective analysis is successful in identifying risk factors that promote better patient stratification and surgical management. The Lehigh Valley Health Network has a high volume of reoperation records that can be converted into a microcomputer database on the institutional level. This research strives to begin the first model of this database intended to compute meaningful and concrete statistical data. Background In an effort to compile information regarding cardiothoracic …

Nosocomial pneumonia in trauma patients is a significant source of resource utilization and mortality. We have previously described increased rates of pneumonia in male trauma patients in a single institution study. In that study, female trauma patients had a lower incidence of postinjury pneumonia but a higher relative risk for mortality when they did develop pneumonia. We sought to investigate the hypothesis that male trauma patients have an increased incidence of postinjury pneumonia in a separate population-based dataset. Prospective data were collected on 30,288 trauma patients (26,231 blunt injuries, 4057 penetrating injuries) admitted to all trauma centers (n = 26) …

BACKGROUND: The Centers for Disease Control reports that motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. teenagers, and disproportionately affect males. Among preventable causes of MVCs involving teenage drivers, distracted driving continues to be a serious public health problem. OBJECTIVES: To describe gender differences in teenage drivers' self-perceptions of safe driving behaviors, and self-reported risk behaviors and distractions while driving. METHODS: We prospectively surveyed teenage drivers from four high schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Gender comparisons were made between self-reported perceptions and self-reported driving behaviors. Descriptive statistics and chi-squared testing were used in …

Bryan G Kane MD
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that among older adults (≥65 years), falls are the leading cause of injury-related death. Fall-related fractures among older women are more than twice as frequent as those for men. Gender-specific evidence-based fall prevention strategy and intervention studies show that improved patient-centered outcomes are elusive. There is a paucity of emergency medicine literature on the topic. As part of the 2014 Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) consensus conference on "Gender-Specific Research in Emergency Care: Investigate, Understand, and Translate How Gender Affects Patient Outcomes," a breakout group convened to generate a research agenda on priority …

Brother, Have You Got A Light? Assessing The Need For Intubation In Patients Sustaining Burn Injury Secondary To Home Oxygen Therapy., Hamed Amani, Daniel Lozano, Sigrid Blome-Eberwein
Sigrid A Blome-Eberwein MD
Home oxygen therapy use has steadily increased for the past 30 years. A majority of these patients suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease secondary to smoking. Although warned of the danger of smoking while on oxygen, patients continue to do so, potentially resulting in cutaneous burns and suspected inhalation injury. Those suspected of inhalation injury are intubated for airway control. In the English literature, there is a paucity of data discussing the need for intubation. To date, this is the largest study to determine whether intubated patients had inhalation injury as observed by bronchoscopy and whether intubation was necessary. All …

Sigrid A Blome-Eberwein MD
BACKGROUND: This randomized, open-label study evaluated Aquacel Ag Hydrofiber dressing with silver (HDS; ConvaTec, Skillman, NJ, USA) with an adherent or gelled protocol in the management of split-thickness donor sites. METHODS: HDS was the primary dressing in the adherent group (gauze as secondary covering) and gelled group (transparent film as secondary covering). Dressings were changed on study day 1 or 2 and study days 5 (optional), 10 (optional), and 14. The primary outcome was healing (>or=90% re-epithelialization) at study day 14. RESULTS: Seventy subjects were treated (36 adherent, 34 gelled). By study day 14, 77% of donor sites had …
