Development Of An On-Call Assessment Tool For Competency-Based Surgical Training, Eric C. Mitchell
Development Of An On-Call Assessment Tool For Competency-Based Surgical Training, Eric C. Mitchell
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Introduction: A central tenet of competency-based medical education is formative assessment of trainees. There are no assessments examining resident competence on-call, despite this being a significant component of resident training and characterized by less supervision compared to daytime.
Methods: A national survey was conducted to evaluate the state of assessment in Canadian Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery programs. An on-call assessment tool was developed based on a consensus group and was piloted over six months. Validity of the tool was examined through qualitative and quantitative methods.
Results: There were 63 tools completed across ten residents and seven staff physicians. Tool reliability …

A Rheumatoid Nodule At The Sternoclavicular Joint: An Uncommon Presentation Of A Common Problem, Patrick M. Thomas, Nathan J. Cockerill, Christina M. Arcand, Alan R. Koester, Mark H. Cooper Md, Phd
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Most rheumatoid nodules are found at joints or pressure points. They rarely require medical intervention and even fewer require surgery. A 78-year-old female developed a 7.2 x 3.2 x 2.8 cm rheumatoid nodule originating at the right sternoclavicular joint, a novel site for a common pathology. Management involved a complex differential diagnosis and surgical treatment was resection from adjacent vascular and neural structures. Following surgical excision, the patient maintained good mobility and sensation of the neck and surrounding areas.

Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory process of the pancreas, which can remain localized at the level of the gland or can extend to the peripancreatic and retroperitoneal tissues. The use and interpretation of paraclinical examinations at the onset can predict the form of evolution of acute pancreatitis (mild or severe). Depending on the evolution, these data are useful in determining the type of surgical intervention that might be necessary based on severity.
We present a retrospective study consisting of 118 patients diagnosed and hospitalized with acute pancreatitis during 2016-2020 in the Surgery I section of the Sibiu County Emergency …

Lymph Node Dissections And Survival In Sublobar Resection Of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ≤ 20 Mm., Shinkichi Takamori, Takefumi Komiya Md, Mototsugu Shimokawa, Emily Powell Phd
PCI Publications and Projects
BACKGROUND: A randomized trial of lobectomy versus segmentectomy for small-sized (≤ 20 mm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) showed that patients who had undergone segmentectomy had a significantly longer overall survival (OS) than those who had lobectomy. More attention is needed regarding the required extent of thoracic lymphadenectomy in patients with small-sized NSCLC who undergo sublobar resection.
METHODS: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients with clinically node-negative NSCLC ≤ 20 mm who had undergone sublobar resection between 2004 and 2017. OS of NSCLC patients by the number of lymph node dissections (LNDs) was analyzed using log-rank tests and …

Perioperative Management Of The Patient With Obesity, Trevor Mack
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
Abstract
Obesity has become a problem worldwide during the past few decades. The prevalence of obesity worldwide has led to an increase in the number of obese surgical patients to whom perioperative care needs to be delivered. Hence, surgeons and nurse anesthetists will care for an increasing number of obese patients in the foreseeable future and should be prepared to provide optimal management for these individuals. This poster considers preparing for and managing the obese surgical patient by explaining underlying pathophysiology, implications of nursing care, perioperative considerations, diagnosis, and various treatments. This review provides updated evidence regarding perioperative management for …

Hybrid Laparoscopic And Endoscopic Management Of Gastric Band Erosion Resulting In Bowel Obstruction, Katie Marrero Md, Michael Nolte Md, John Kim Do, Facs, Christian Perez Md, Facs, Fasmbs
Graduate Medical Education Research Journal
While laparoscopic gastric banding is not as prevalent, the management of patients with a history of gastric banding remains a concern. Gastric bands have been noted to erode and can migrate through the bowel leading to a variety of issues. We were able to successfully manage this almost completely endoscopically without the need for a bowel enterotomy for retrieval. This allowed for enhanced patient recovery and avoided the morbidity associated with bowel enterotomy which is commonly done in these settings.

Heart surgery is a term that scares a lot of people and rightfully so, as the heart is one of, if not the, most vital organ in the human body. So naturally, one can imagine the amount of fear and anxiety that patients feel when they are told they need heart surgery. This fear and anxiety is not unwarranted, either. Heart surgery, in most cases, is a major and highly complex operation with a lot of potential complications and negatives. Despite this, the majority of the time the benefits do outweigh the risks and patients elect to go forward with …

Bariatric or weight-loss surgery is a popular option for weight reduction. Depending on the surgical procedure, gastric changes like decreased transit time and volume and increased pH, decreased absorption surface in the small intestine, decreased exposure to bile acids and enterohepatic circulation, and decreased gastrointestinal transit time may be expected. In the years after bariatric surgery, patients will also substantially lose weight. As a result of these changes, the absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or elimination of drugs may be altered. The purpose of this article is to report the general influence of bariatric surgery on oral drug absorption, and to provide …

Trends In Patient Outcome Scores In Orthopaedic Oncology: A Systematic Review, David Le, Kelsey Martin, Sean C. Clark, Tae Won B. Kim
Research Day
Introduction: The field of orthopaedic oncology has trailed in defining trends in reported outcome measures (ROMs) over the last decade. Although the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Score is a well-recognized ROM, new ROMs developed and established in literature have created difficulty in identifying the standard ROM within the field. The aim of our study is to identify trends in the use of ROMs in orthopaedic oncology over time, as well as the frequency and distribution among specific pathologies and orthopaedic journals.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted of all original articles reporting on topics relating to orthopaedic oncology in five …

Acrometastasis As A Rare Presentation Of Diffuse Malignancy, Jeremy Reich, Jonathan Boyce, Lee Kripke
Research Day
Cancer metastasis to the bone distal to the knee or elbow, also known as acrometastasis, is a rare but known finding in diffuse malignancy. We report a case of acrometastasis to the left second phalanx in a 70-year-old woman with a history of invasive breast carcinoma that was in remission for four years. On initial encounter in the emergency department, she had pain and swelling over the proximal (PIP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints with a lytic appearance on radiographs. A subsequent Adler PET scan demonstrated previously unknown metastatic disease in the right lower lung, mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, …

Graduate Publications and Other Selected Works - Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
Patient Temperature measurement postoperatively reveals that hypothermia occurs in surgical patients 25-90% of the time. Unintended perioperative hypothermia can be linked to many negative patient outcomes such as increased incidence of surgical site infection (SSI), delayed wound healing and increased length of hospital stay, to mention a few. Any single or combination of the aforementioned issues can eventually lead to an increase in patient morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this proposed quality practice improvement project is to increase the compliance of hypothermia prevention strategies, specifically forced air warming, at the implementation site. The targeted practice improvement is aimed at …

Surgery In Advanced Ovary Cancer: Primary Versus Interval Cytoreduction, Mackenzie Cummings, Olivia Nicolais, Mark S. Shahin
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers
Primary debulking surgery (PDS) has remained the only treatment of ovarian cancer with survival advantage since its development in the 1970s. However, survival advantage is only observed in patients who are optimally resected. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has emerged as an alternative for patients in whom optimal resection is unlikely and/or patients with comorbidities at high risk for perioperative complications. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence to date for PDS and NACT in the treatment of stage III/IV ovarian carcinoma. We systematically searched the PubMed database for relevant articles. Prior to 2010, NACT was reserved for non-surgical …

Catastrophic Perforation In Streptococcus Pneumoniae Aortitis: Complications Of Infective Endocarditis In The Current Antimicrobial Era, Sana Shaikh, Jorge Isaac Peña Garcia, Michelle Shieh, Alexandre Lacasse
Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives
Infectious aortitis is an uncommon but life-threatening cause of aortitis. Given the lack of specific symptoms, establishing the diagnosis is often a challenge. When it is associated with an endovascular infection, such as infective endocarditis, blood cultures may be diagnostic although often limited by low positive predictive value. Imaging studies may reveal characteristic findings, with computerized tomography angiography being the most sensitive. Management includes prompt initiation of antimicrobial therapy followed by surgical intervention, keeping in mind that operative mortality is high due to weakened arterial wall integrity. Here we describe a 25-year-old woman without relevant medical history, who presented to …
