A Strategy For Surge Management: Senior Residents On The Admitting Frontlines, Hamza Saifuddin, Oliver Yockey, Rachelle Pichot, Gwendolyn Brainard, Samantha Labay, Michael S. Wang

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Hospitals adapt to surges in a variety of ways, including expediting admitting and discharge procedures, hiring temporary staff and locums to meet increased demand, and temporarily expanding or creating facilities. To mitigate negative effects associated with surges, a small community-based hospital’s Internal Medicine (IM) residency program and hospitalist program collaborated by shifting senior residents into admitting physician roles with indirect supervision to meet increased surge needs. This shift allowed an admitting attending physician to shift to a newly created rounding service and, on average, the number of rounding services was increased from seven to nine. Over a fifteen-month period (five …

Empowering Residents In Community-Based Internal Medicine Programs: A Structured Framework Integrating Simulation Labs, Ai, And Gamification, Nirmay Sonar, Zaynah Sadiq, Bernie Sergent

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Community-based internal medicine residencies train nearly half of all U.S. IM residents and are essential for staffing underserved areas. These programs often face educational gaps due to limited resources, faculty development, and procedural training opportunities. We designed a 12-month quality initiative for 27 residents at a small community hospital blending new high-fidelity simulation drills (e.g. in-situ rapid-response and procedural labs), restructured didactics (gamified quizzes, NEJM Resident 360™, HumanDx cases), enhanced orientation (“intern survival guide”), research education, wellness retreats, community outreach and AI-driven, individualized case feedback. New interventions were implemented alongside existing activities, with targeted outcomes including clinical competency, board readiness, …

A Review Of 3d-Printed Medical Devices For Cancer Radiation Therapy., Radiah Pinckney, Santosh Kumar Parupelli, Peter Sandwall, Sha Chang, Salil Desai

Oncology Articles

This review explores the transformative role of three-dimensional (3D) printing in radiation therapy for cancer treatment, emphasizing its potential to deliver patient-specific, cost-effective, and sustainable medical devices. The integration of 3D printing enables rapid fabrication of customized boluses, compensators, immobilization devices, and GRID collimators tailored to individual anatomical and clinical requirements. Comparative analysis reveals that additive manufacturing surpasses conventional machining in design flexibility, lead time reduction, and material efficiency, while offering significant cost savings and recyclability benefits. Case studies demonstrate that 3D-printed GRID collimators achieve comparable dosimetric performance to traditional devices, with peak-to-valley dose ratios optimized for spatially fractionated radiation …

Improving Alcoholism Treatment Through Adverse Childhood Events Score Education, Miranda Cobenais

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Summary I conducted this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) staff education project to improve knowledge and clinical practice among mental health professionals. The problem identified at the project site was the limited awareness and use of Adverse Childhood Events (ACE) assessments in treating alcoholism. The practice focused question for this project was: Will educating staff on how ACE scores can improve treatment of alcoholism increase staff knowledge regarding the importance of assessing ACE scores to decrease relapse rates? The purpose of this doctoral project was to evaluate if an educational intervention can enhance staff understanding of the connection between ACEs …

Radionuclide-Stimulated Dynamic Therapy Induces Complementary Immunogenic Necroptosis And Apoptosis Cancer Cell Death Pathways, Christopher Egbulefu, Kvar Black, Xinming Su, Partha Karmakar, Lemoyne Habimana-Griffin, Gail Sudlow, Julie Prior, Ezugo Onejeme, Alex Zheleznyak, Baogang Xu, Yalin Xu, Alison Esser, Matthew Mixdorf, Evan Moss, Brad Manion, Cody Hongsermeier, Nisha Gamadia, Nicole Blasi, Luke Stallings, Chidube Alagbaoso, Nathan Reed, Matthew M Gubin, Chieh-Yu Lin, Robert Schreiber, Katherine Weilbaecher, Samuel Achilefu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Radionuclide-stimulated dynamic therapy (RaST) utilizes Cerenkov-radiating radiopharmaceuticals to activate light-sensitive drugs and materials, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that inhibit cancer progression. However, the underlying cell death mechanisms are not fully understood. Using ROS-regenerative nanophotosensitizers coated with a tumor-targeting transferrin-titanocene complex and radiolabeled 2-fluorodeoxyglucose, we found that RaST induced apoptosis and necroptosis, characterized by the activation of RIPK-1, RIPK-3, nuclear factor kappa B, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase, leading to membrane permeabilization, cytokine release, and the expression of immunogenic damage-associated molecular patterns. In immune-deficient breast tumor-bearing mice with adequate stroma and growth factors, RaST did not prevent tumor growth …

Comprehensive Metabolic Profiling Across Five Lifespan Stages In Murine Hippocampus And Cortex Reveals Sex-Related Variation In Age-Related Cognitive Decline, Xi Long, Wuping Liu, Changhan Chen, Qi Guo, Yidan Wang, Fang Yu, Yujin Zhang, Rodney E Kellems, Yang Xia

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

This study employs Barnes maze behavioral assessments, untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics, and 13C6-glucose isotopic tracing to systematically investigate cognitive function and metabolic profiles in hippocampal and cortical tissues of male and female mice across five distinct age-ranges. Behavioral analyses reveal significant cognitive decline in both sexes by 16-months-of-age, with females exhibiting more severe impairment by 23-months, demonstrating a sex-related variation. 13C6-glucose tracing analyses reveals that glucose is rapidly and preferentially metabolized toward the Tricarboxylic acid cycle over glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), with metabolism rates increasing from juvenility to meet developmental demands and maintaining homeostasis into pre-elderly. …
