Mental Health And Beliefs About Abortion Access Following Changes To Reproductive Healthcare Laws In 2022: Findings From Oklahoma, Munjireen Sifat, Laili K. Boozary, Tina N. Le, Julia Mcquoid, Brittany Zaring-Hinkle, Sarah Tonkin, Lizbeth Benson, Bingjing Mao, Motolani Ogunsanya, Ruosi Shao, Amy M. Cohn, Allyson Shortle, Darla E. Kendzor

Department of Medical Oncology Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: A secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data was conducted to characterize beliefs about abortion access in Oklahoma, measure stress associated with the overturn of Roe vs. Wade (2022), and evaluate the potential relationship between post-Roe stress (PR stress) and mental health.

METHODS: From August through September 2022, adult Oklahomans (N = 1793) were surveyed about their sociodemographic characteristics, beliefs about abortion access, frequency of past-month stress related to the overturn of Roe vs. Wade, and mental health. Beliefs about abortion access were characterized overall and within sociodemographic groups. The relationship between PR stress and mental health was evaluated, and …

Robotic Anatomical Left Hepatectomy With Enbloc Caudate Resection For Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, Bhavya Bansal, Parisa Yazdankhah-Kenary, Sharona Ross, Iswanto Sucandy

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

Introduction: Minimally invasive robotic technique is gaining popularity due to its technical advantages when compared with conventional laparoscopy. Major hepatic lobectomy, however, remains a technically demanding procedure and requires extensive training to ensure safety and efficacy, especially when undertaken using minimally invasive approach.^1–4 With focus on robotic surgery techniques, in this video we describe our standardized technical approach of robotic anatomical left hepatectomy with enbloc caudate lobe resection. Methods: A 78-year-old man presented with a caudate lobe cholangiocarcinoma infiltrating the caudate lobe and dorsal aspect of segment 4 with a very close proximity to the base of umbilical fissure. …

Safety And Feasibility Of Talimogene Laherparepvec In Peritoneal Surface Malignancies: Results From The Tempo Trial, John H. Stewart, Donna Niedzwiecki, Melissa Lowe, Ashley Moyer, Emily Bolch, Shannon Diane Maclaughlan, Edward A. Levine, Omeed Moaven, Niharika Mettu, John H. Strickler, Dan G. Blazer

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs) remain a therapeutic challenge, particularly in patients with unresectable disease who cannot benefit from cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The Talimogene Laherparepvec for the Treatment of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (TEMPO) trial (NCT03663712) is the first phase 1, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), an FDA-approved oncolytic virus, in this setting. Nineteen patients with unresectable PSMs from appendiceal, ovarian, small bowel, and peritoneal carcinomas were enrolled; 18 received treatment across three escalating dose cohorts (4 × 10-4×10 PFU). The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability, with secondary endpoints assessing viral …

Explainable Machine Learning Using Emg And Accelerometer Sensor Data Quantifies Surgical Skill And Identifies Biomarkers Of Expertise, Rahul Soangra, Areef Hossain, Jay Sonagra, Vennila Krishnan

Physical Therapy Faculty Articles and Research

Traditional evaluations of surgical skill rely heavily on subjective assessments, limiting precision and scalability in modern surgical education. With the emergence of robotic platforms and simulation-based training, there is a pressing need for objective, interpretable, and scalable tools to assess technical proficiency in surgery. This study introduces an explainable machine learning (XAI) framework using surface electromyography (sEMG) and accelerometer data to classify surgeon skill levels and uncover actionable neuromuscular biomarkers of expertise. Twenty-six participants, including novices, residents, and expert urologists, performed standardized robotic tasks (suturing, knot tying, and peg transfers) while sEMG and motion data were recorded from 12 upper-extremity …

The Anatomy Of Change: A Scoping Review Of Surgical Curriculum Renewal Processes, Marc A. Seifman, Robyn Woodward-Kron, Roi Y. Kagan, Kirsten Dalrymple, Aimee K. Gardner, Ian Incoll, Lars Konge, John T. Paige, Debra Nestel

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

PURPOSE: Renewal of surgical curricula is critical in maintaining relevance to contemporary healthcare needs. A curriculum document usually describes its purpose, intended outcomes, content, methods, and assessment and evaluation processes. The document may also consider cultural, professional, political, and social contexts. While there are published curriculum development approaches, guidance on renewal processes is limited. This scoping review aims to synthesise literature on surgical curriculum renewal, to understand the key elements of this process, and identify areas for improvement. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted by the core author team, with co-creation involving a Knowledge User Group (KUG). Seven databases were …
