Enhancing Breast Cancer Screening Uptake In Hispanic Women Residing In Rural Texas Through A Quality Improvement Project, Bianca Batchelor-Salazar

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Scholarly Projects

Background: Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in the United States. Despite the effectiveness of mammography in early detection, Hispanic women in rural communities experience lower screening rates due to socioeconomic, cultural, and access-related barriers. At a rural South Texas clinic, the baseline screening rate among Hispanic women aged 50–74 years was 70.6%, below national benchmarks.

Purpose: To increase breast cancer screening compliance among Hispanic women aged 50–74 years in a rural South Texas family practice clinic.

Methods: Guided by the Lean A3 quality improvement framework, this project implemented a multifaceted intervention bundle that included …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background: The management plan for metastasis to the thyroid from distant primary malignancies remains unclear. Methods: This systematic review is being conducted to evaluate the outcomes for performing thyroidectomy in non thyroidal metastatic cancer. Data: Data was collected via literature search using pubmed, cochrane, web of science, and google scholar.

PICO:

• Population: Patients undergoing thyroidectomy in nonthyroidal metastatic from distal primary cancer
• Intervention: Thyroidectomy (lobar/total)
• Comparison: No comparison group
• Outcomes: Overall survival Locoregional Recurrence Mortality

Results: As per literature review, renal cell carcinoma was most common, (around 30-35%) patients, followed by lung and gastrointestinal malignancies. Surgical management was associated with …

Induced Vaginal Delivery In Pregnant Patient With Enlarging Choroidal Hemangioma, Sandra Zhi, Allison Burkes, Monica Saripella, Bhagyashri Pandey, Keith Storts, Kishan Patel, J William Harbour

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

INTRODUCTION: Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital neurocutaneous disorder affecting capillary formation, classically presenting with a facial port-wine birthmark and seizures. Associated symptoms vary by individual but may include additional brain and eye manifestations such as cognitive impairment, headache, stroke-like episodes, and glaucoma or visual field defects. Because SWS results from a sporadic mutation, it does not carry specific contraindications to pregnancy regarding fetal risk. However, pregnancies in patients with SWS should be managed by an multidisciplinary team and closely monitored for acute neurological and ophthalmologic complications. In childbirth, previous case reports have favored Cesarean section over vaginal …

Extra-Intestinal Clostridioides Difficile Abscess In A Small Bowel Gist: A Rare Tumor-Associated Complication, Nicholas Gerden, Pradip Gautam, Asad Rehman, Long Hoang

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Extra-intestinal infections caused by Clostridioides difficile are exceedingly rare and typically occur in settings that disrupt the gastrointestinal barrier, including recent gastrointestinal surgery, bowel perforation or microperforation, and severe colonic disease.

We present the case of a 75-year-old man with abdominal pain and hemoperitoneum in the setting of a suspected small bowel leak secondary to an intestinal mass. Computed tomography angiography revealed an 11.0 × 9.6 cm pelvic fluid collection, prompting exploratory laparotomy with drainage of a pelvic abscess and evacuation of hemoperitoneum. Intraoperatively, a small bowel perforation caused by a 4.4 cm gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) was identified. Operative …
