School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Background: This study aimed to define an intra-articular surgeon-administered technique that may be comparable to ultrasound (US)-guided adductor canal block (ACB). Methods: Five cadaver lower limbs were examined. An anesthesiologist administered a US-guided ACB using 20 mL of dilute indocyanine dye. An orthopedic surgeon performed a medial parapatellar arthrotomy and introduced an 18-gauge needle 1-2 cm proximal to the palpated adductor tubercle angled posteromedially. Needle position and dye spread were fluoroscopically documented. Results: This technique consistently reached the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve, nerve to the vastus medialis muscle, and posterior capsule, with minimal proximal dye spread. Conclusions: This …

BACKGROUND: Historically, surgical biopsy (SB) for diagnosis of pediatric solid tumors was considered necessary to provide adequate tissue for histologic and molecular analysis. Less invasive biopsy techniques such as image-guided core needle biopsy (CNB), have shown comparable accuracy with decreased morbidity in some adult studies. However, data regarding the safety and efficacy of CNB in pediatric tumors is limited. This study's aim was to assess the overall rate of successful diagnosis and safety of CNB compared to SB in children with malignancies.

METHODS: A PRISMA compliant systematic review was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase and CINAHL Plus database searches …

Spectrum Of Venous Thromboembolism In Adult Patients With Ulcerative Colitis In Pakistan: A Single Center Retrospective Study, Masood Muhammad Karim, , Hafsa Shaikh, Faisal Wasim Ismail

Department of Medicine

Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at a 2-8-fold higher risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) as compared to the general population. Although the exact pathogenesis is unclear, the literature suggests that increased risk of thromboembolic events in such patients occurs as a result of increased coagulation factors, inflammatory cytokines, and reduction in anticoagulants leading to a prothrombotic state.
Aim: To assess the prevalence, risk factors, management, and outcome of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients who develop VTE.
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review done in The Gastroenterology Department of The Aga Khan University Hospital. Data was collected from …

Atypical Presentation Of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma With Metastasis To Breast Tissue, Tylar P. Seckman, Diane Krutzler-Berry, Mohamed Ashal, Waqas Mahmud, Krista L. Denning, Logan M. Lawrence

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Malignant neoplasms of the lung commonly metastasize to lymph nodes, bone, brain, and liver via hematogenous and lymphatic routes. Much less commonly, metastasis occurs in the breast. Secondary metastatic disease of the breast is very rare, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4-1.3%­­—with primary lung cancer being one of the most anomalous sources. This case details non-small cell lung cancer metastasis to the breast with proven primary contralateral lung origination. This atypical finding prompts medical professionals to consider these malignant cells' immunologic, histologic, and pathologic makeup to understand further and treat the neoplasm.

Routine Overnight Assessments In Stable Pediatric Surgery Patients: A Critical Reconsideration, Morgan Brown, Rebecca Moreci, Hannah Megison, Elizabeth Long, Michael Maurer, Benjamin Bienvenue, Denise M. Danos, James H. Wood

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Background: Hospitalized patients are subject to overnight vital sign (OVS) monitoring which leads to subsequent sleep disturbance and contributes to adverse outcomes and negative hospital experiences. Studies in pediatric populations have shown that routine OVS checks infrequently detect significant events. We hypothesized that OVS monitoring in pediatric surgery patients rarely detects abnormalities resulting in meaningful interventions. Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients ≥ 5 years old admitted to the pediatric surgery service at a stand-alone Children's Hospital from 2019 to 2021. ICU patients were excluded from analysis. Overnight vital signs were defined as those recorded …

Viscoelastic Hemostatic Assays Are Associated With Mortality And Blood Transfusion In A Multicenter Cohort, Shyam Murali, Eric Winter, Nicolas M. Chanes, Allyson M. Hynes, Madhu Subramanian, Alison A. Smith, Mark J. Seamon, Jeremy W. Cannon

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Objectives: Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) carries significant risks, including increased mortality. Traditional TIC definitions rely on laboratories that result slowly and do not highlight therapeutic targets. We hypothesized that a TIC score, based on thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), collectively termed viscoelastic hemostatic assays, is associated with in-hospital mortality and packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used a database of adult patients undergoing institutional massive transfusion at seven level 1 trauma centers (2013-2018). A “TIC score” was developed, with 1 point assigned for abnormal TEG R-time ( ≥ 9 min) or ROTEM clot time ( …

Skeletal And Dental Tissue Mineralization: The Potential Role Of The Endoplasmic Reticulum/Golgi Complex And The Endolysosomal And Autophagic Transport Systems, Irving M. Shapiro, Makarand V. Risbud, Tengteng Tang, William J. Landis

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers

This paper presents a review of the potential role of the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi complex and intracellular vesicles in mediating events leading to or associated with vertebrate tissue mineralization. The possible importance of these organelles in this process is suggested by observations that calcium ions accumulate in the tubules and lacunae of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Similar levels of calcium ions (approaching millimolar) are present in vesicles derived from endosomes, lysosomes and autophagosomes. The cellular level of phosphate ions in these organelles is also high (millimolar). While the source of these ions for mineral formation has not been identified, there …

Medicaid Expansion Increases Treatment For Patients With Colon Cancer, John Morgan Lyons, Denise M. Danos, Lauren S. Maniscalco, Yong Yi, Omeed Moaven, Xiaocheng Wu, Quyen Chu

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Introduction: Medicaid expansion (ME) has positively impacted colon cancer screening. ME’s effect on colon cancer treatment is less clear. This study analyses the effect of ME on patterns of colon cancer treatment. Methods: Patients with primary invasive colon cancer were identified using the Louisiana Tumor Registry. Patients diagnosed with colon cancer prior to ME (2014–2015) were compared to those diagnosed after (2017–2018). Coordinate variables were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. Treatment status was modeled with multivariable logistic regression and the results are reported as adjusted odds ratios. Results: The proportion of uninsured patients decreased following ME (5.5 versus 1.9, p < 0.001), with the greatest reductions among patients between 45 and 54 years old (13.5% to 3.5%, p < 0.0001), African Americans (8.9 to 2.1%, p < 0.0001), and those in high-poverty neighborhoods (7.1 to 2.1%, p < 0.0001). Following ME, all patients with Stage I-III disease were more likely to receive surgery (OR = 1.95; 95%: CI 1.21–3.14)—especially the extremely impoverished (OR = 2.39; 95% CI 1.41–4.02). Young patients with Stage IV colon cancer were more likely to receive chemotherapy (OR-1.6; 95% CI 1.03–2.4). Patients with Stage IV colon cancer were less likely to receive treatment within 30 days of diagnosis (OR = 0.7; 95% CI 0.5–0.9), but, on subset analysis, this was only observed in non-Medicaid patients. Conclusion: ME is associated with increased treatment for patients with colon cancer, and it did not appear to affect time to treatment. However, it seems to affect different subsets of the population differently.

Residual Traditional Risk In Non-Traditional Atherosclerotic Diseases, Federico Biscetti, Giorgia Polito, Maria Margherita Rando, Maria Anna Nicolazzi, Luis H. Eraso, Paul J. Dimuzio, Massimo Massetti, Antonio Gasbarrini, Andrea Flex

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

Individuals with chronic inflammatory and immune disorders are at an increased risk of atherosclerotic events and premature cardiovascular (CV) disease. Despite extensive literature exploring the relationship between "non-traditional" atherosclerotic conditions and CV risk, many aspects remain unresolved, including the underlying mechanisms promoting the "non-traditional CV risk", the development of an innovative and comprehensive CV risk assessment tool, and recommendations for tailored interventions. This review aims to evaluate the available evidence on key "non-traditional" CV risk-enhancer conditions, with a focus on assessing and managing CV risk factors. We conducted a comprehensive review of 412 original articles, narrative and systematic reviews, and …

A Prospective, Multicenter Analysis Of The Integrated 31-Gene Expression Profile Test For Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (I31-Gep For Slnb) Test Demonstrates Reduced Number Of Unnecessary Slnbs In Patients With Cutaneous Melanoma., J Michael Guenther, Andrew Ward, Brian J Martin, Mark Cripe, Rohit Sharma, Stanley P Leong, Joseph I Clark, John Hamner, Timothy Beard

Oncology Articles

BACKGROUND: National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for patients with > 10% risk of positivity, consider SLNB with 5-10% risk, and foregoing with <  5% risk. The integrated 31-gene expression profile (i31-GEP) algorithm combines the 31-GEP with clinicopathologic variables, estimating SLN positivity risk.

METHODS: The i31-GEP SLNB risk prediction accuracy was assessed in patients with T1-T2 tumors enrolled in the prospective, multicenter DECIDE study (n = 322). To determine if incorporating the i31-GEP into decision-making resulted in fewer SLNBs performed, propensity score-matching was performed to a non-overlapping cohort for whom the 31-GEP was not used for SLNB decision-making.

RESULTS: No patients with <  5% i31-GEP predicted risk had a positive SLNB (0/35). Propensity matching demonstrated an 18.5% reduction in SLNBs performed (43.7% vs. 62.2%. p <  0.001). The i31-GEP could have reduced the number of unnecessary biopsies by 25.0% (35/140).

CONCLUSIONS: This prospective study confirmed the performance and clinical utility of the i31-GEP for …
