As the magnitude of opioid epidemic grew in recent years, individual states across United States America enacted myriad policies to address its complications. We conducted a qualitative examination structure, successes, and challenges state laws aimed at epidemic, with an in-depth focus on prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) naloxone access efforts. A set 10 (Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia) was...
Social distancing guidelines during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have created substantial changes in undergraduate medical education United States. Specifically, Coalition for Physician Accountability recommended that all programs transition to online interviews and visits 2020-21 application cycle. Current literature lacks concrete recommendations with visual examples how interviewees should best prepare their interview rooms. The authors present cost-conscious...
Objectives/Hypothesis To identify the incidence and nature of positive findings on imaging studies ordered for evaluation unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) unknown etiology, to analyze these based laterality, examine use expanded‐field computed tomography (CT) neck protocol in this evaluation. Study Design Retrospective review. Methods A total 145 patients from 2000 2018 with UVFP etiology were studied. Data ordered, laterality paralysis, significant results An CT that included entire...
Objectives/Hypothesis The expiratory disproportion index (EDI) is the ratio of forced volume in 1 second divided by peak flow rate multiplied 100. An elevated EDI (>50) can help differentiate upper airway stenosis from other dyspnea etiologies, but this has not been verified when considering body habitus. We hypothesize that predictive value diagnosing will be lower obese patients as compared to nonobese patients. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods Patients >18 years old...
Abstract Objectives To determine whether patients undergoing in‐office laryngologic procedures on antithrombotic therapy are at increased risk for treatment‐related complications. Methods Patients were those who underwent least one procedure with any of three fellowship‐trained laryngologists. Procedures identified by current procedural terminology (CPT) code and included biopsies, excisions, laser ablations, injections (therapeutic augmentative). divided into two groups based the use time...
Abstract Objectives The Airway Alert banner at our institution alerts physicians to patients with the potential for a difficult intubation. Difficult airway guidelines can reduce intubation complications in operating room, but little research has been done emergency department (ED). We hypothesize that meeting criteria will have more and increased complications. Methods Patients greater than 18 years old who presented ED any complaint required were reviewed from January 2015 2020 divided...
Expiratory disproportion index (EDI) is the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) divided by peak flow rate (PEFR) multiplied 100. Prominent EDI (>50) values can differentiate subglottic stenosis (SGS) from paradoxical vocal fold movement disorder (PVFMD), but this has not been verified when considering body habitus. We hypothesize that predictive value elevated differentiating SGS PVFMD will be lower obese patients than non-obese patients.Patients ≥ 18 years old with recorded...
