Facilitating Living Kidney Donation: Retrospective Evaluation Of Weight Loss Interventions To Support Kidney Donation, Julia Dumitrescu, Roslyn Mannon, Scott Westphal, Ashley Brabec, Regina Rau, Amy Olsen, Taylor Cidlik

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Background. Living kidney donor transplantation provides recipients with kidney failure with an excellent graft function and survival. Donation of a kidney entails a thorough medical and psychosocial evaluation. Obesity is an increasingly prevalent medical condition and a known risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease post-donation. Accepting overweight and obese individuals as living kidney donors remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to review the impact of obesity on the determination of candidates for living kidney donation at a single transplant center.

Methods. We performed a retrospective chart review of living kidney donors evaluated over 5 …

Hand Knob Stroke, The Ultimate Mimic Of Peripheral Mononeuropathy: A Case Report, Larry A. Osborne Jr, Stephen Chien

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Background. Hand knob strokes present with unilateral motor weakness of the hand, distal arm, or a particular group of fingers with or without paresthesia. This condition can easily be misdiagnosed as a peripheral mononeuropathy without a high level of suspicion and a thorough history and physical exam. We present a case of hand knob stroke that mimicked an ulnar mononeuropathy.

Case. A 100-year-old male with a history of untreated hypertension, Stage 3A Chronic Kidney Disease, and prediabetes presented to the hospital five hours after symptom onset with resolving acute left hand weakness and paresthesia. Symptoms began the night prior with …

Effects Of Cross-Curricular Instruction On Clinical Education Outcomes For Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Students, Michele Dacy, Kimberly Smith

Journal on Empowering Teaching Excellence

Access the online Pressbooks version of this article here.

Cross-curricular instruction is the process of combining information from two or more subjects within a single discipline in order to help students integrate the knowledge and skills they learn from separate courses. The purpose of this study was to examine how cross-curricular instruction impacted speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate students' knowledge, confidence, and clinical skills related to the assessment of patients with co-occurring diagnoses of dementia and dysphagia. Twenty-three SLP master's students completed a questionnaire before and after receiving cross-curricular instruction on how to assess dysphagia in persons with dementia. The questionnaire …

Exercise-Induced Gene Expression Profiles In Adults With Obesity: A Systematic Review Of Molecular Adaptation, Brandon Galvan, Luis Alberto Flores, Flor Isela Torres-Rojo, Natanael Cervantes-Hernández, Cinthia Verónica Villegas-Balderrama, Liliana Aracely Enríquez-Del-Castillo

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: Obesity is a multifactorial and chronic condition characterized by excess adiposity and systemic low-grade inflammation. Exercise exerts metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects partly mediated through gene expression modulation in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. However, heterogeneous responses among obese individuals suggest that genetic and epigenetic mechanisms shape exercise adaptation. Objective: This systematic review aimed to identify the genes and molecular pathways modulated by physical exercise in adults with obesity, and to classify them according to their biological functions across different exercise modalities. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, randomized controlled trials were searched in PubMed, SpringerLink, Science Direct, Cochrane, LILACS, Web of …

The Effects Of Ballistic Resistance Training On Upper-Limb Power And Reaction Time In Youth Épée Fencers, Mahmoud Sallam, Mazin Hasan Alhasany, Hachin Chani, Ghofran Bashir, Bushra Al-Hammashi, Gaffar Saad, Hussein Hashos, Amr Hamza, Mariola Gepfert

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: Explosive power and rapid reaction time are crucial in fencing. Ballistic resistance training (BRT) may improve these qualities but is rarely applied in fencing. Materials and methods: To assess the effects of an eight-week BRT program on upper-limb power and reaction time in youth Egyptian épée fencers, nineteen male fencers (aged 16.6 ± 1.5) were randomly divided into a BRT group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 9). The BRT group added three weekly 30-minute sessions of "Ballistic Six" exercises to regular fencing training. Tests before and after included: tennis ball throw (power), armed …

Predicting In-Hospital Mortality In Patients With Hypertensive Emergency: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Jay Satasiya, Bs, Devin Vasoya, Md, Darius Farzad, Md

The Medicine Forum

Approximately 1.3 billion adults worldwide have hypertension.¹ Between 2006 and 2013, there was a two-fold increase in Emergency Department visits for hypertensive emergency.² The prevalence of hypertensive emergency ranges from 0.08% to 0.76% in patients presenting to the Emergency Department.^1,3-6 The estimated incidence of hospitalization with a hypertensive emergency is 111 per 100,000 patients.^1,7 Hypertensive emergency is also associated with significant morbidity and mortality, often leading to ischemic stroke, pulmonary edema, acute heart failure.^3-6 In-hospital mortality among patients with hypertensive emergency varies between 0.48% and 12.5%.^5,7 This retrospective cohort study aims to further clarify …

Reading Burney’S Mastectomy Letter: Presentist Thinking And Personal Responses In The Classroom, Heather Meek

ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640–1830

Frances Burney’s mastectomy letter, in its graphic and detailed depiction of the operation she underwent without anesthetic in 1811, does not always lend itself immediately to standard, scholarly classroom discussion. It tends, rather, to incite unusually intimate responses, as well as conversations about medicine and health today. In my teaching of the letter in literature courses at Université de Montréal over the course of the past 13 years, I have found that students are inclined to seize upon the subject of breast cancer as especially contemporary in its relevance and to share their own anecdotal knowledge of the disease. I …

Diastole, Charlaine Chen

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Diastole is the space between heartbeats. It is in this space that the heart actively rests, refills. These periods of relaxation are what allow the next heartbeat to occur. A heart without diastole is in heart failure. In medical training, we are raised on the myth that constant effort equals devotion, that rest is a luxury. A sense of guilt riddles me when I take a sick day, or when I feel I am not doing enough, fast enough. This work is a meditation on the nature of rhythm, and the rhythm of nature. These quiet spaces are not signs …

Between Rounds And Resolve, Faizan Sheraz

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

“Between Rounds and Resolve” is a narrative poem chronicling the introspective journey of an internist transitioning toward a subspecialty in gastroenterology. Through poetic reflection, the piece captures the emotional cadence of clinical rounds, the quiet resilience forged in patient care, and the evolving sense of purpose that guides a physician toward deeper specialization. This work explores themes of identity, transformation, and professional growth, offering a humanistic lens on the road less traveled within medicine. It aims to resonate with readers, navigating their own paths of change, reaffirming the value of reflection and resolve in shaping a meaningful career in health …

Enhancing Clinical Care Quality Through 1-On-1 Quality Improvement Education In Family Medicine, Jude K A Des Bordes, Shira K. Goldstein, Nahid J. Rianon

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

Ongoing improvement and evaluation of clinical care are essential to maintaining high standards. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires all accredited family medicine programs to provide quality improvement (QI) education. Given competing educational demands, residency programs must adopt innovative approaches to teaching QI. This article describes an individualized approach to QI education that we implemented in our family medicine residency program and the outcome of its evaluation.

Methods

Guided by a logic model and evaluated using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework, this quasi-experimental 1-group pre-test-post-test study (July 2022-June 2023) involved all second-year …
