Enhancing Cataract Surgery Outcomes: Optimal Use Of Pre- And Post-Operative Eye Drops, Keith Skolnick M.D., Anu Valiaveedu
Enhancing Cataract Surgery Outcomes: Optimal Use Of Pre- And Post-Operative Eye Drops, Keith Skolnick M.D., Anu Valiaveedu

Many preoperative and postoperative cataract patients struggle with comprehending the use of prescription medication as directed. Language barriers and low health literacy levels are major factors contributing to improper use of prescriptions. To increase patients comprehension, the Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute employed an educational intervention consisting of a live presentation and an instructional video. Results found that 44% of patients were hesitant to ask questions to clinical staff, 32% felt overwhelmed, and nearly 70% lacked confidence in using their prescribed eye drops. Following the intervention, 91% of patients reported increased confidence in their medications, and most indicated that the video …
Comprehensive Overview Of Gastroschisis, Alexis Carver
Comprehensive Overview Of Gastroschisis, Alexis Carver
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
Gastroschisis is a congenital defect of the abdominal wall viscera that occurs during early embryonic development, leading to the protrusion of bowel through an opening near the umbilical cord. This condition is classified as either simple, involving only the bowel, or complex, involving additional complications like necrosis or intestinal atresia. While the exact cause of gastroschisis remains unknown, it is believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. This congenital disorder affects a very small percentage of neonates, and the associated mortality rates are relatively low due to modern developments in medical science. Gastroschisis can be …
Ansa Cervicalis-To-Phrenic Nerve Transfer: Technical Note With Potential Application For Diaphragmatic Reanimation In Patients With High Cervical Spinal Cord Injury, Jonathan Melnick, Mohammadali M. Shoja, Gary B. Schwartz

HCA-NSU MD Research Day
Objective. This study was conducted to determine whether utilization of the superior root of ansa cervicalis (SRAC) as the donor for phrenic nerve (PN) transfer is technically feasible. Background. In patients with high cervical spinal cord injury resulting in diaphragmatic paralysis, another donor, the spinal accessory nerve, has been used successfully to reinnervate the PN and restore diaphragmatic function. Methods. Eight neck sides underwent cadaveric surgery. The sternocleidomastoid muscle was retracted posteriorly, the SRAC and PN were isolated, and the SRAC was cut near its distal end and transposed to the ipsilateral PN as it crossed the anterior scalene muscle. …

Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness and applicability of PMSGs created from 3D-printed models in managing aortic disease. Background: Endovascular treatment of aortic disease can be challenging, especially with complex anatomy. Three-dimensional (3D) printed models, derived from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, have been used to create physician-modified stent grafts (PMSGs) for vascular procedures involving the aorta. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in July 2024 across Embase, Ovid Medline, and Web of Science using PRISMA guidelines. Keywords included “aorta”, “3-dimensional printing”, and “implant”. Only studies reporting use of 3D printing-assisted PMSGs in aortic disease repair, …

Introduction: Splenic angiosarcoma is an uncommon, malignant neoplasm of vascular endothelial origin. Given its unique nature and rupture potential, we present a case of perforated splenic angiosarcoma. Case Description: A 79 year-old female with a history of vocal cord paralysis, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and thyroidectomy presented for a second time with stridor and worsening shortness of breath. Due to desaturation and bradycardia, unsuccessful intubation led to a tracheostomy and ICU transfer. She stabilized and showed no major complications for seven days. On discharge day, the patient became diaphoretic, pale, and non-responsive, prompting a rapid response and code blue. Major …
