Surgical Treatment Of Multiple Vein Graft Aneurysms In 72 Year Old Man, Heather Geist, James K. Wu Md, Raymond Singer Md
Surgical Treatment Of Multiple Vein Graft Aneurysms In 72 Year Old Man, Heather Geist, James K. Wu Md, Raymond Singer Md
James K. Wu, M.D.
Abstract
The rarity of saphenous vein graft aneurysms following coronary artery bypass graft surgery presents an interesting case, as seen in a 72 year-old gentleman who underwent his third bypass surgery for an aneurysmal graft. Information regarding the case was gathered using the Lehigh Valley Health Network medical databases. The 8 cm aneurysmal portion of the graft was resected successfully and replaced with a CryoVein. Following surgery the patient had relief of symptoms and recovered well. It was determined that the patient had two true aneurysms present, making surgery a necessity in this specific case.

Abstract
This study sought to analyze and better understand the different etiologies of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), to determine the short and long term outcomes for these patients, to review and look for trends within the “code blue” data, and to identify patients who may benefit from an advanced and aggressive cardiopulmonary support system like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process. A retrospective study of 182 patient charts and resuscitation records from the years 2011-2012 was completed with patients ranging in age from 24-70 years with a median age of 58. The most significant results found …

Abstract
This study sought to identify possible behavioral effects from treatment of Type B aortic dissections with antihypertensive medications. A retrospective study of 104 patient records and charts was performed searching for eleven different behavioral effects compiled from listed side effects of five different classes of antihypertensive medications. This resulted in 57 patients with observed behavioral effects, and 47 patients with no observed behavioral effects. The median age of the patient population was 68 ± 16 years. Of the 57 patients with …

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 …

Abstract
To obtain optimal outcomes, it is vital to continually investigate variables potentially effecting rejection and graft failures. 407 renal transplant recipients who were transplanted at The Transplant Center of the Lehigh Valley from January 2009 to December 2014 were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Variables potentially influencing graft survival, including delayed graft function, and cell mediated and …
