Twin Pregnancies And Incidence Of Spontaneous Preterm Delivery Stratified By Chorionicity, Amanda Roman, Gabriele Saccone, Yury Cruz, Giuseppe Maruotti, Mohamed Satti, Pasquale Martinelli, Vincenzo Berghella

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Posters

Objective: To identify the incidence of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) and indications for delivery in women with twin pregnancy stratified by chorionicity (monochorionic diamniotic and dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy).

Study Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort of all consecutive twin gestations from 2010 to 2017. They were stratified by chorionicity monochorionic diamniotic and dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy: Primary outcome was SPTB < 37 weeks. Secondary outcome was SPTB at <34, 32, and <28 weeks, gestational age at delivery and indications for delivery: maternal and fetal. Analysis: t-test, Fisher’s exact test and multivariable logistic regression.

Results: 510 women with twin pregnancies were identified. 158 (30.9%) were monochorionic diamniotic pregnancies, and 352 (69.0%) were dichorionic pregnancies. The gestational age at delivery was significantly shorter in the monochorionic compared to the dichorionic group of about 2 weeks (MD -2.20 weeks, …

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Posters

Objective: To evaluate the level of maternal physical activity effect on the perinatal outcomes of women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM)

Study Design: This is a pilot, prospective, observational multicenter cohort study. We approached patients admitted between 23 0/7 weeks to 32 0/7 weeks gestation with confirmed PPROM between January of 2014 and June of 2017 All patients received corticosteroids and latency antibiotics. Enrollment was done on third day of admission. Delivery occurred at 34 weeks per protocol via induction of labor or cesarean section as obstetrically indicated; or sooner if chorioamnionitis was diagnosed or spontaneous preterm labor …

Hiv Intervention For The Dc Community, Evelyn Rosales, Elias Belhocine, Daniel Ndagha, Tiana Young

DC Health and Academic Prep Program (DC HAPP)

Before the 1980s, the world had little to no knowledge about HIV. Now there has been research conducted on HIV/AIDs that has helped people prevent and be aware of their status. However, there is still an increasing amount of HIV cases in adults (18-34), especially in DC communities. Such disparities in HIV cases occur based on people’s race, gender, sexual orientation, income and geographical location. The social determinants of health also play a role in these cases such as poverty, access to care, stigma and racism. Our program will tackle these issues by providing an emphasis on existing programs by …

Impact Of Huddles On Provider’S Knowledge Of Medically Complex Patients, Irina G. Trifonova, Troy E. Richardson, Jessica L. Bettenhausen, Matthew B. Johnson

Posters

Background:
The increasing complexity of pediatric inpatients requires that all providers understand a comprehensive child’s medical and social needs. A survey administered to Children’s Mercy Hospital inpatient providers identified gaps in knowledge regarding the daily plan of care and discharge planning needs among Complex Chronic Care (CCC) patients. Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) create a shared decision model among all team members to ensure that all aspects of care for CCC patients are addressed.

Objectives:
To improve provider knowledge of the plan of care and discharge planning needs for CCC patients admitted to the Hospitalist service, from 40% to 75% of providers …

Change In Working Length At Different Stages Of Instrumentation As A Function Of Canal Curvature, Mei Tang, Garry L. Myers, Richard D. Archer, Al M. Best

Graduate Research Posters

The aim of this study was to determine the change in working length (∆WL) before and after coronal flaring and after complete rotary instrumentation as a function of canal curvature. One mesiobuccal or mesiolingual canal from each of 43 extracted molars had coronal standardization and access performed. Once the access was completed, canal preparation was accomplished using Gates Glidden drills for coronal flaring and EndoSequence files for rotary instrumentation. WLs were obtained at 3 time points: pre-instrumentation (unflared), mid-instrumentation (flared) and post-instrumentation (concluded). Measurements were made via direct visualization (DV) and the CanalPro apex locator (EM) in triplicate by a …

Ali, Ali, Twila Bird

TSOS Interview Gallery

At eighteen fate placed Ali and his family in the center of hostilities in northern Afghanistan. Warring militant factions killed hundreds of people in his village. Ali helped identify and bury dozens of his friends and neighbors in a mass grave.

We spent days and nights in the mountains and blocked on the borders. I crossed the mountainous border between Afghanistan and Pakistan walking with my handicap. Then it took us another sixteen hours to cross the border between Pakistan and Iran, also in very high mountains of more than 2500 meters. The Iranian police were killing people on the …
