Risk Analysis Index As A Predictor Of Mortality And Failure To Rescue In Patients Undergoing Distal Femur Fracture Fixation., Kush Modi, Omar Sbaih, Jared Sasaki, Victor Koltenyuk, Nithin Gupta, Hursch Patel, James D Miller

Medical Education Articles

PURPOSE: This study sought to evaluate the use of frailty, compared to age alone and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, for prediction of mortality and failure to rescue (FTR) in patients undergoing surgical fixation of distal femur fractures (DFFs).

METHODS: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database was queried for patients who underwent surgical management of DFFs. Frailty was evaluated using the 5-Item Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) and Risk Analysis Index (RAI). Outcomes included 30-day mortality and FTR (mortality following major complication). Multivariate regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analyses were performed to …

Paintings Analysis Using Copilot Ai: The Case Of Winston Churchill And Art In His Life, Yuri Zagvazdin

Learning and Educational Center Virtual Teaching and Learning Conference

The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate a method for analyzing artistic style and its potential evolution using the Copilot AI platform. As a case study, I explore the paintings of Winston Churchill (1874–1965), the British Prime Minister, who was also a passionate and prolific painter. Although Churchill began painting in his forties, he produced over 500 works, with his final piece completed in 1962.

Churchill frequently painted scenes from Southern France and Morocco—locations he returned to repeatedly throughout his artistic life. Remarkably, he continued painting even after suffering multiple cerebrovascular accidents. Stroke-induced brain damage is typically detrimental to …

Psych Assessment In The Er, Bailey J. Thompson, Addie Cowger, Hailie Hollis

Scholars Week

An immense amount of patients who enter the emergency department, whether for a psychiatric illness or not, struggle with mental health challenges. By creating a standardized routine and checklists for the care of high-risk psychiatric patients, the new quality and consistency can enhance patient experiences. This process will start at the triage stage and continue throughout their stay. Presenting the supportive research to the emergency department staff and introducing these changes gradually will help with staff buy-in and become a more sustainable process. Finally, with a structured approach, psychiatric patient outcomes will benefit significantly.

Rare Case Of Visual Hallucinations In A 60-Year-Old Female With A Recurring Pituitary Macroadenoma, Angelica Alday, Farah Qureshi, Kayvan Mirhadi

Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery

Pituitary adenomas are the third most frequently occurring primary intracranial tumor and are benign neoplasms that can have profound clinical implications. While most of these masses cause hormone hypersecretion, they may also be clinically silent until they elicit symptoms of mass effect, including severe headaches and visual field defects such as bitemporal hemianopia. This report highlights an atypical presentation of a pituitary adenoma that could be valuable for internists to consider when forming a differential diagnosis for patients with hallucinations. We discuss a case of a 60-year-old woman with a recent history of multiple emergency department visits for ongoing urinary …

Security And Privacy Of Wearable And Implantable Medical Devices: A Course-Based Approach To Medical Device Cybersecurity Education, Michelle M. Ramim

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

As wearable and implantable medical devices become integral to remote patient monitoring and precision medicine, the associated cybersecurity and privacy risks demand urgent attention. These devices are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, potentially endangering patient safety and data integrity. To address this, we developed an experiential learning course titled Security and Privacy of Wearable and Implantable Medical Devices, designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in health and medical fields. The course immerses students in real-world challenges through lectures, labs, and project-based learning, leveraging wearable devices such as FitBit^TM to analyze and interpret real-time personal health data. The curriculum …

Ready Or Not? Merits Of An End-Of-Fourth-Year Summative Osce, Shruti Chandra, Md, Mehp, Deborah Ziring, Md, Katherine Berg, Md, Mph, Stefani Russo, Md

JeffMD Academic Affairs

Purpose

To develop a summative OSCE for fourth-year medical students to assess core clinical skills for internship readiness and remediate low performers.

Program directors report gaps between expectations and interns’ skills.

End of clerkship OSCEs, End of third-year summative OSCE

• Different competencies assessed
• Not reflective of graduation skills

An end-of-fourth-year summative OSCE was developed to

• Assess advanced reasoning and communication
• Assure residency readiness
• Identify and remediate clinical skills deficiencies
