Severe Covid-19 Following Rituximab And Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir Treatment In A Patient With Mctd, Case Report, Rohail A. Baig, Faieja Chowdhury, Omar Siddiqui, Adnaan Sheikh, Varun Mehta, Pranjali Dakwale

Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery

This is an article about how the use of medications such as nirmatrelvir/ritonavir can cause rebound COVID-19 and how the use of Rituximab, a biologic agent, can prolong the duration and increase severity of symptoms of COVID-19 in patients with pre-disposed autoimmune diseases that are on chronic pharmacotherapy.

Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome: A Rare Cause Of Abdominal Pain That Is Difficult To Identify, Mark E. Eskander, Matthew Thrall, Joel P. Thompson

Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare disease that occurs when the celiac artery is compressed by the median arcuate ligament. Patients with MALS typically present with non-specific symptoms that overlap with more common diseases. As a result, patients may undergo extensive workup and unnecessary treatments before being properly diagnosed with MALS. In this case we present a 23-year-old female with chronic postprandial abdominal pain that persisted despite undergoing a cholecystectomy. This case highlights the symptoms and imaging findings needed to diagnose MALS and thus prevent unnecessary surgical interventions.

Factors Affecting The Healthcare Of Adults With Communication Difficulties Due To Autism Spectrum Disorder And/Or Intellectual And Developmental Disability, Kathryn L. Shady

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Purpose: This dissertation explores the healthcare barriers and facilitators experienced by autistic adults and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who have communication difficulties (CD).

Problem: Approximately 5-10% of Americans have CD, including difficulties such as stuttering, aphasia, apraxia, and other forms of language impairment(1,2). Communication difficulties are present in about 25-30% of autistic individuals and 57.9% of those with IDD, which accounts for a large and poorly studied portion of those with CD(3,4). Individuals with CD report negative healthcare experiences and decreased levels of satisfaction with healthcare providers secondary to practices such as communication solely with a …

Preparing The Healthcare Workforce Of Tomorrow Through Interprofessional Simulations: A Review Of Simulation Technologies Used At Jefferson Center For Interprofessional Practice & Education, Susan Toth-Cohen, Phd, Otr/L, E. Adel Herge, Otd, Otr/L, Faota, Amber King, Pharmd, Bcps, Fnap

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Interprofessional (IP) collaborative practice is believed to be an essential component of healthcare system transformation via the "Quadruple Aim" (IPEC. 2016) IP simulations provide invaluable opportunities for learners to practice, discuss, and improve teamwork and communication skills for clinical situations (Thistlethwaite, 2012). Furthermore, IP simulations help students gain a nuanced understanding of, and appreciation for, the roles and responsibilities of colleagues from different professions (Thistlethwaite, 2012). As a result, students increase their understanding of how practice is enhanced as they gain additional perspectives on care and improve their ability to engage in effective IP teamwork (IPEC, 2016). IP simulations allow …

Meet An Ipe/Cp Alumna Champion From Thomas Jefferson University, Kyra Shreeve, Bsn

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

As a Jefferson College of Nursing student (JCN), I had the opportunity to be involved in several JCIPE initiatives, including the Jefferson Student lnterprofessional Complex Care Collaborative program (J-SICCC, formerly Student Hotspotting) and Team Simulation & Fearlessness Education (TeamSAFE). As a member of J-SICCC, I worked with an interprofessional team of students to support a patient with complex social and healthcare needs. The TeamSAFE training was incorporated within the JCN curriculum, and after participating as a student I was able to volunteer as a co-facilitator. In addition, I had the chance to work with one of the JCN faculty members, …

Meet An Ipe/Cp Staff Champion From Thomas Jefferson University, Eileen Winter, Msw, Lsw

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

I became involved with JCIPE in 2016 as a faculty advisor to the one Jefferson Student lnterprofessional Complex Care Collaborative program (J-SICCC, formerly Student Hotspotting) team participating from Thomas Jefferson University. I found the students (medicine, nursing, OT, pharmacy, and two combined MD/PhDs) very engaged and enthusiastic. They took initiative and worked hard to establish connections with their patients. At some point during the year, they began meeting regularly at Scott Library at the end of the day. I joined them when I could, and provided them with direction as they tried to help their patients. It was rewarding to …

A Provocateur For Improvement, David B. Nash, Md, Mba

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

I like to think of myself as an internal champion for improving the quality and safety of medical care that we deliver at Jefferson. A central tenet of our work together at the bedside is that care can never be error free because we're working with people. Our goal should always be to make care harm free.

As a result of my dedication to this notion of harm free care, I would like to review some key milestones in my 30 years as a faculty member and connect the dots between my work and certain events. Here is the punch …

Using The Multi-Theory Model (Mtm) Of Health Behavior Change To Explain The Seeking Of Stool-Based Tests For Colorectal Cancer Screening, Manoj Sharma, Christopher Johansen, Kavita Batra, Chia-Liang Dai, Ravi Batra, Traci Hayes, Aditi Singh

Social and Behavioral Health Faculty Research

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer-associated deaths. While colorectal cancer is on the decline in the United States (US), disparities still exist, despite the non-invasive screening modalities, such as stool-based tests have shown themselves to be effective in the detection of colorectal cancer. Many of the existing stool-based test interventions lack the use of a contemporary theory-based approach. Given the paucity of theory-based interventions intended to promote stool-based tests, this cross-sectional study utilizes the multi-theory model (MTM) of health behavior change to explain the seeking of stool-based tests for …
