Professional Development Of Medical Students Transitioning From Preclinical To Clinical Training ​, Bridget Croniger, Mikaela Grudzien, Rubab Imtiaz, Jennifer Mendez

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background:

Personal and professional development (PPD) is a competency domain for graduated U.S. medical students. Current research shows that PPD is lowest at transitional periods, such as the transition from preclinical to clinical training.

A Rare Case Of Deep Vein Thrombosis Secondary To Protein S Deficiency And Antithrombin Iii Deficiency With Mthfr (C677t) Heterozygous Mutation, And Crohn’S Disease, Anusha Garg, Vanama Lakshman Sai, Ankit Singh, Aditi Rao

Digital Journal of Clinical Medicine

Deep vein thrombosis is a condition wherein a thrombus develops in the deep veins of the body, most commonly in the legs, due to increasing tendency of the blood to coagulate. One such reason is the MTHFR gene mutation, wherein an increase in homocysteine levels causes irritation of the blood vessel endothelium, causing a disturbance in Virchow’s triad, hence triggering clot formation. [1]

The MTHFR gene is responsible for instructing the body to produce an enzyme called methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) [2]. MTHFR gene mutations can lead to a wide range of disorders, either as a result of the elevated levels …
