Evaluating Engagement In Health Care And Substance Use Disorder Services Among People Who Use Drugs, Tiffany Mckenney, Kevin Cobty, Divya Boorle, Julie Gleason-Comstock

Medical Student Research Symposium

An urban community-based organization conducted a study to examine demographics of individuals who use drugs and their approaches to risk reduction. A substantial proportion reported encountering significant barriers to accessing substance use disorder (SUD) services.

In collaboration with a state survey, the community organization recruited a convenience sample of individuals who actively used drugs, examining substance use patterns, healthcare access, and barriers to SUD services. Community health workers facilitated outreach efforts, focusing on harm reduction engagement, and healthcare access.

Data were collected from 55 individuals. 51% identified as male, 48% as female, and 2% as LGBTQIA+. 67% identified as White/Caucasian, …

Variation In Treatment Recommendations For Low-Risk Prostate Cancer: A Focus On Active Surveillance Across Physician Specialties, Sinyu Yang B.S., Tiffany Chu B.S., Cathryn Bock Ph.D, Jinping Xu M.D.

Medical Student Research Symposium

Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men globally, with 1 in 8 men in the US diagnosed during their lifetime. For Low-Risk Prostate Cancer (LRPC), management options include Watchful Waiting (WW), Active Surveillance (AS), or curative treatments such as prostatectomy or radiation. While curative treatments can have significant long-term side effects like urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, AS is less invasive and preferred due to fewer adverse effects. However, variations in physician training may lead to differing recommendations, potentially causing confusion or frustration for patients consulting multiple specialists. This study investigates whether treatment recommendations—AS, …

Colorectal Cancer Screening And Correlating Gender Disparities, Kara Marr, Megan Janssen, Margaret Payne, Laura Reed Dnp, Aprn, Fnp-Bc, Cne

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Purpose/Background

In 2023, colorectal cancer (CRC) was the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US, equating to approximately 50,000 total deaths (National Cancer Institute, 2024). Further, it is estimated that an additional 1.4 million Americans are living with CRC (National Cancer Institute, 2024). Early detection screening modalities remain imperative since the NIH has released a combined survival rate of 70% when utilized (National Cancer Institute, 2024). Different derivatives of CRC develop from pre-cancerous polyps and are often without signs or symptoms of disease progression; this asymptomatic period emphasizes the importance of early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer …

Common Misconceptions In Hormone Therapy (Ht) Treatment In Menopause, Miranda Zuhlke

Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science

ABSTRACT

The review explores the history of HT, the risks and benefits, along with current guidelines for HT and non-hormonal options. A comprehensive search was conducted using electronic databases focusing on the effect of HT on breast cancer, cardiovascular health, bone health, and quality of life.

Stop The Bleed! Acute Epistaxis Management, Christopher R. Cannell

Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science

Epistaxis, the most common Otolaryngology-related emergency, is responsible for one in 200 emergency department (ED) visits in the United States (US) and one-third of otolaryngology visits.^1,11 Up to 60% of the population will experience epistaxis during their lifetime, and 6% -10 % will require medical intervention.^2,3 Epistaxis occurs in children and adults and has a seasonal variation. Although 85% of nosebleeds are idiopathic, they are more frequent in those on supplemental oxygen, anticoagulation, antiplatelet therapy, and in those with other conditions that may predispose them to bleeding. Most clinicians will encounter patients with acute epistaxis; therefore, it is …

Testosterone Replacement Therapy In The Middle-Aged Male, Gina N. Demilt

Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science

The purpose of this review was to investigate the use of testosterone supplementation in the middle-aged male with a focus on the pathophysiology of testosterone throughout the lifespan, current supplementation options and their adverse effects, and the overall benefit of supplementing to enhance quality of life. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted identifying studies that assessed clinical outcomes, pathophysiology, supplementation options, adverse effects and benefits of treatments. The findings suggested that testosterone levels naturally decline with age with most men developing symptoms of hypogonadism around age 60. Testosterone supplementation outside of current guidelines is not recommended, however men …
