Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is associated with high rates of intrinsic conduction disease. Patients with CA and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) have demonstrated an eventual reliance on ventricular pacing, regardless of...
Background: Laboratory rats are used as the standard animal model for studying liver transplantation (LT) due to their size facilitating microsurgery and easy handling, genome similarity to humans, and post-LT immune responses being similar to...
Background: Shame is a powerful emotional reaction to a global negative self-evaluation. Prior research has characterized shame’s destructive nature in medical learners and highlighted its potential to catalyze meaningful learning, growth, and...
Introduction: In the U.S., patients of Black race and Hispanic ethnicity have lower survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) when they are not witnessed by 9-1-1 responders than White patients. Whether these racial and ethnic...
Objective.
Interventional Radiologists’ involvement in percutaneous osseous interventions is increasing, however, postprocedural instructions related to weightbearing are often not given. The purpose of this study was to describe the implications...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of surgical case sequencing on patient flow delays considering downstream hospital resources.
BACKGROUND: Operating Rooms (OR) are often constrained by downstream resources, which affect patient flow and surgeon...
Background: Current osteoporosis screening guidelines recommend bone mineral density (BMD) testing following fragility fractures. Despite the existence of such guidelines, previous studies have demonstrated that rates of osteoporosis screening...
Background & Hypothesis: Demand for pediatric heart transplants exceeds the supply of available organs, resulting in an average waiting time of six months and significant waitlist mortality. The use of donor hearts after circulatory death...
Background: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a potentially vision-threatening malignancy and may be difficult to diagnose as it often appears similar to other lesions such as pterygium and pingueculae. Ocular surface images are easy to...
BACKGROUND: Slings with abduction pillows are used by surgeons in the postoperative rehabilitation protocol for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR); however, there is a lack of evidence demonstrating superior outcomes. The purpose of this...
