Piriformis Syndrome With A Variant Presentation, Roberto Chuapoco, Ryan E. Linford
Piriformis Syndrome With A Variant Presentation, Roberto Chuapoco, Ryan E. Linford
Annual Research Symposium
Piriformis syndrome has long been a diagnostic quandary due to its tendency to present as other nerve-related conditions. Piriformis syndrome is commonly caused by entrapment of the sciatic nerve as it travels through the greater sciatic foramen due to hypertrophy of the piriformis muscle. However, its constellation of symptoms, including radiating pain down the thigh, can easily be mistaken for lumbosacral radiculopathy. This case report aims to address the misdiagnosis of piriformis syndrome which has prolonged pain for many patients and increased the cost of medical care. It demonstrates a 76-year-old female with a confounding presentation of piriformis syndrome: buttock …

Change In Basic Pulmonary Function In Response To Altitude Change, Holly Radke, Mitchell Rush
Annual Research Symposium
Purpose: This study aims to determine if there is a lasting effect in lung function when an individual relocates from an area of low elevation to an area of high elevation.
Methods: Our study monitored changes in pulmonary function over time after individuals moved from a region of low elevation (1,000 feet above sea level or lower) to a higher elevation area (4,500 feet above sea level in Provo, Utah). We followed incoming students to Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine from places of elevation lower than 1,000 feet. Spirometry was used to assess forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak expiratory …

Multimodal Medicine: Pain Control Potential, Tyler Ostlund
Multimodal Medicine: Pain Control Potential, Tyler Ostlund
Master of Science in Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner
Due to the continual problem with overuse of, overdose on, and abuse of opioid medications for the past three decades it is paramount that effective, cheap, and above all safe forms of pain control are studied and applied. Multimodal pain management utilizes a combination of pharmacological and non pharmacological therapies in synergy to control pain and reduce dependence on strictly opioids. Combining the effects of medications or therapies that focus on treating different types or sources of pain such as inflammatory pain, neurological pain, etc. With the adoption of this method of pain management, the longstanding effects of the opioid …
