Sarcoidosis Of The Mandibular Condyle: A Rare Disease That Can Mimic Malignancy, Chad Sloan, Ben Lacrosse, Lei Yu, Alexander Braun, Scott Lauer, Timothy Donovan, John Baker, Jason Untrauer

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Sarcoidosis can involve any of the organs, however intraosseous involvement is rare and ranges from 5 to 15%, with lesions of the mandible being even rarer – currently with few known cases reported. Intraosseous lesions involving the mandible have been noted to be asymptomatic or associated with chronic jaw pain. Additionally, mandibular involvement can present as a lytic bone lesion mimicking osseous malignancy. Chronic polyarthritis is commonly associated with the progression of sarcoidosis and intraosseous involvement has been considered a late-stage sequelae. We report a case of biopsy-proven sarcoidosis within the mandibular condyle in an asymptomatic 56-year-old Caucasian female who …

A Case Of Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, Steven Embry, T. Jason Meredith

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Neuralgic Amyotrophy, also known as Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS), is a clinically diagnosed and largely under-recognized inflammatory disorder which primarily affects the brachial plexus. Correct diagnosis is often delayed and the disease causes significant patient morbidity due to extreme pain, paresis, and often sensory abnormalities of the upper extremity. Although the pathophysiology is not completely understood, it is classically preceded by an identifiable inciting event and complete recovery may take months to years.

An Uncommon Adverse Effect Of A Common Drug-Dress Syndrome-Not Just Skin Deep!, Alamelu Udayappan

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome is a rare, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction that causes skin exfoliation, hematological abnormalities, lymphadenopathy, and extensive internal organ involvement. Characterized by a long latency period, this unusual side effect of aromatic anti-epileptic drugs, as well as many common drugs cause a mortality rate of up to 10% if left untreated. In the absence of a well-established therapy, primary and secondary prevention have a key role in the management of DRESS Syndrome. Herewith presenting a case of an adolescent girl with rashes and systemic symptoms, the cause of which, on obtaining a detailed …

An Overview Of Neurology Residency Training In Epilepsy At The University Of Nebraska Medical Center, Daniel Crespo Artunduaga, Mohamed Taha, Arun Swaminathan

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Neurology residency offers a comprehensive training program over 4 years in management of various neurological disorders. Epilepsy represents a common condition managed by neurologists and forms a core curriculum in the training of neurology residents. We conducted an anonymous survey among the trainees at our neurology program to identify knowledge and treatment gaps and help us modify our training regimens to provide high impact and good quality training to our trainees. We conducted a 35-question survey to determine various aspects of our neurology residents’ training to identify and overcome shortfalls. Our program requirements are rigorous and match up with those …

Long Term Outcomes Of Surgical And Clinical Symptoms Following Minimally Invasive Heller Myotomy: A Retrospective Clinical Database Review, Laura E. Flores, Priscila Rodrigues Armijo, Bhavani Pokala, Sarah Samreen, Dmitry Oleynikov

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

I

Introduction

Minimally invasive Heller myotomy rates have increased, but little evidence is available regarding long term clinical and surgical outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate long term symptom improvement and medication resolution for patients undergoing minimally invasive Heller myotomy.

Methods

A single-institution database was retrospectively reviewed for patients undergoing laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) or robotic Heller myotomy (RHM) during 2007-2018. Patients with primary HM followed by a Dor fundoplication were included. Demographics and surgical data were analyzed. Esophageal symptoms, testing, and medication use were collected preoperatively (pre-op), at 6-month (6-mo), 12-month (12-mo), and long-term (LT; 12-mo+) follow-up. Analysis was …

Necrotizing Enterocolitis Following Gastroschisis Repair: An Update, Rachel K. Schlueter, Shahab F. Abdessalam, Stephen C. Raynor, Robert A. Cusick

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Purpose:

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a known complication of gastroschisis with an incidence above the expected rate in the neonatal population. While many physicians today are aware of this association, the last publication to explore this association in detail and identify possible risk factors of NEC in gastroschisis patients was published over twenty years ago. From our large database of patients with gastroschisis managed by a single group of pediatric surgeons, we reviewed our experience and the recent literature to update what is known about gastroschisis and NEC.

Methods:

From 2001 to 2017, a gastroschisis registry was maintained. Data from …
