Facial Hair And Infection: A Beardly Question With A Bald Spot In The Literature, Kyle O'Connor, Samuel Stegelmann, Hans Drawbert, Edwin Dudoussat, John T. Riehl Jan 2025

Facial Hair And Infection: A Beardly Question With A Bald Spot In The Literature, Kyle O'Connor, Samuel Stegelmann, Hans Drawbert, Edwin Dudoussat, John T. Riehl

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Background: Upholding a sterile environment in orthopedic surgery is vital to minimize surgical site infections (SSIs). Among personal protective equipment, beard covers for surgical staff with facial hair have been recommended as a measure to prevent contamination. However, their effectiveness in reducing SSIs remains uncertain, especially in orthopedic procedures that often involve high-risk implants and extended exposure of surgical fields. This systematic review assesses the current evidence on the role of beard covers in infection prevention during surgery. Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, databases were searched for studies investigating facial hair, beard covers, and infection risk. Eligible studies included comparative studies, …


Case Report: Left Internal Mammary Artery (Lima)/Coronary Steal Syndrome (Css) In Severe Coronary Artery Disease And End-Stage Renal Disease, Fahed Alsayed, Muhannad Badran, Sara Khasawneh, Mohan Sengodan Jan 2025

Case Report: Left Internal Mammary Artery (Lima)/Coronary Steal Syndrome (Css) In Severe Coronary Artery Disease And End-Stage Renal Disease, Fahed Alsayed, Muhannad Badran, Sara Khasawneh, Mohan Sengodan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Background: LIMA/coronary steal syndrome is a rare but significant complication in patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and concurrently have high-flow arteriovenous (AV) fistulas for hemodialysis. The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is a preferred conduit for CABG due to its long-term patency and ability to sustain myocardial perfusion. However, in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis, excessive AV fistula flow can divert blood away from the LIMA graft, leading to myocardial ischemia despite graft patency. Early recognition and appropriate intervention are essential to prevent further deterioration of cardiac …

Nfl Kick-Off Rule Change: A Comparative Analysis Of Injury Incidence, Troy Puga, Tanner Haechten, Coleman Cush, Mckenna Box, Hans Drawbert, John Riehl

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Kickoffs in the National Football League (NFL) remain one of the most dangerous plays during an NFL game, with high levels of injuries. In 2024, the NFL implemented kickoff rules intended to reduce the number of injuries during this play, and improve player safety. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the 2024 NFL kickoff rules on the incidence of injuries during the kickoff. Methods Injuries on kickoffs were identified for the 2024, 2023, and 2022 NFL seasons using the transcribed game book for each game on the official NFL website. Injury type was confirmed …

Optimizing Fluid Resuscitation: Balancing Access Efficiency And Infusion Speed In Trauma Care, Chris Robert, Enoch Wong, David Bassa, Danielle Pigneri, Paul Granet Jan 2025

Optimizing Fluid Resuscitation: Balancing Access Efficiency And Infusion Speed In Trauma Care, Chris Robert, Enoch Wong, David Bassa, Danielle Pigneri, Paul Granet

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Study Objective: Time is a critical resource during the initial treatment of an injured patient. Fluid resuscitation is also a critical component of trauma care. Clinicians are faced with the need to actively resuscitate an injured patient while simultaneously working to provide them operative or procedural hemorrhage control as quickly as possible. In these circumstances, physicians must balance perceived flow efficiency with time required to place certain types of access devices, though little data exists to guide this decision process. This study aims to evaluate the infusion times of different sizes of peripheral and central venous catheters to optimize fluid …

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Pericardial effusion resulting from uremic pericarditis is a complication associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In patients with advanced CKD or End Stage renal disease (ESRD) renal transplant is the definitive treatment to improve long term outcomes. However, the presence of a large pericardial effusion poses a risk of hemodynamic compromise during transplant surgery. Options of stabilizing the patient with aggressive dialysis, pericardiocentesis or pericardial window can be considered. Here we present a case of a patient with advanced CKD who underwent pre-emptive kidney transplant and in three months had complete resolution of a large pericardial effusion noted pre-operatively. …


Postpartum Glucose Testing And Primary Care Follow-Up For Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Quality Improvement Project, Madeline Bartram, Anusha Hussain, Timothy Kremer Jan 2025

Postpartum Glucose Testing And Primary Care Follow-Up For Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Quality Improvement Project, Madeline Bartram, Anusha Hussain, Timothy Kremer

North Texas Research Forum 2025

BACKGROUND: Patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have a 40-70% lifetime risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is 9 times the risk of patients without a history of GDM. Joint association guidelines recommend a 75-gram, 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (GTT) at 4 to 12 weeks postpartum for all patients with GDM, and to follow-up with a primary care physician. Currently, less than half of these patients do not receive the recommended postpartum glucose testing and/or follow-up. METHODS: For each GDM-affected pregnancy, two primary outcome measures were retrospectively collected from the clinic EHR: completion of the 75-gram GTT …


Todd's Paralysis: Sharpnel-Induce Seizure, Kenny Tran, Alain Folefack Jan 2025

Todd's Paralysis: Sharpnel-Induce Seizure, Kenny Tran, Alain Folefack

North Texas Research Forum 2025

When evaluating seizure in war veterans, distinguishing new-onset hemiparesis with aphasia from stroke can be challenging due to prior brain injury and anticonvulsant therapy. This case involves a patient with a shrapnel injury displaying stroke-symptoms after a seizure highlights the differences between stroke and seizure-related deficits in this population. Careful consideration of imaging, history and clinical presentation are essential for accurate diagnosis and management.

Streamlining Bubble Study Requests In Echo Orders: A Qi Initiative, Vineeth Lekkala, Sharvani Raguthu, Taher Yusufali, Mahmood Ahmad, Mohan Sengodan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: This quality improvement project centers around the implementation of a dedicated mechanism for ordering bubble studies in echocardiograms at Medical City North Hills Hospital. Drawing inspiration from successful implementations observed at Medical City Denton Hospital, the project aims to address existing challenges, standardize practices, and improve overall efficiency in the echocardiogram ordering workflow. Background: The echocardiogram ordering process at Medical City North Hills Hospital currently faces challenges, specifically the absence of a dedicated mechanism for ordering bubble studies. This deficiency introduces the risk of oversights, particularly in cases of syncope and stroke, thereby compromising diagnostic precision. Acknowledging these challenges, …

Improving Annual Wellness Visit Documentation In Clinic, Chak Lam Yeung, Gurunath Subramanyam, Krishna Ramesh, Mohammad Nadim, Jasmyne Bowser, John Sturgeon

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Medicare beneficiaries who received an annual wellness visit (AWV) were noted to have reduced Medicare spending. Review of Medical City North Hills Internal Medicine Clinic data showed that 44% of eligible patients received an AWV. Improper documentation and coding were the primary reasons eligible AWVs were not accounted for even though they were performed. Majority of incomplete documentation was missing information regarding patient’s functional ability, level of safety, home safety, and activities of daily living. The information is normally obtained from a questionnaire completed by the patient prior to the visit. Questionnaire was noted by residents to be unorganized …
