Appropriate prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains undefined. This study evaluated an anti-Xa-guided enoxaparin thromboprophylaxis (TPX) protocol on the incidence of VTE in high-risk trauma patients based Greenfield's Risk Assessment Profile (RAP) score.This is a retrospective observational admitted to intensive care unit over 12-month period. Patients were included if they received TPX. Dosage was adjusted prophylactic peak anti-Xa level 0.2 0.4 IU/mL. Subgroup analysis...
A workforce trained in the development and delivery of equitable surgical care is critical reducing global burden disease. Academic surgery aims to address present inequities through collaborative partnerships that foster research, education, advocacy training support increase capacity settings with limited resources. Barriers include a deficiency resources, personnel, equipment, funding, lack communication, geographical challenges. Multi-level remain fundamental; these types wide range...
Current surgical indications for Graves' disease include intractability to medical and/or radioablative therapy, compressive symptoms, and worsening ophthalmopathy. Total thyroidectomy may be technically challenging lead untoward perioperative outcomes. This study examines outcomes in patients with who underwent total assesses its safety this patient population.A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was performed using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2006 2011. disease,...
This single-institution study examined both the outcomes of signaling on general surgery match and perceptions by applicants interviewers at an academic residency program. A retrospective review was performed using prospective data collected a single institution over 2 application cycles that spanned 2022 to 2024. Applications were submitted through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Statistical analysis Chi square logistic regression. tertiary medical center in South. Study...
Current guidelines recommend total thyroidectomy (TT) and radioablation for most papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in children. These have been criticized as aggressive, especially early-stage PTC, it likely does not influence patient survival results life-long hormone replacement. We sought to study whether the extent of (TT vs lobectomy [TL]) influences overall disease-specific children with localized PTC.The National Cancer Database Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results registries were...
Despite advances in gender equality, women still experience inequitable gaps global health leadership, and barriers to women's advancement as leaders have been well described the literature. In 2021, Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health conducted two virtual working groups emerging share challenges suggest solutions advance leadership health. this paper, we present themes from groups, provide a framework results, discuss strategies advancing health.The objective of paper is synthesize...
To evaluate the relationship between use intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroidectomy and risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury.The role IONM in reducing RLN injury remains controversial. Several studies on this topic apply conventional multivariable regression to adjust for confounding. However, estimates from method may be biased due model misspecification, especially with a rare outcome such as injury.We used pooled dataset created by linking 2016-2019 National...
Background: Infection is the leading cause of death in burn patients. Historically, this was due to wound sepsis but pneumonia has now emerged as most common source. In light increasing incidence multi-drug-resistant organisms, description rare infections paramount continuing fight against deadly pathogens. We aim describe second case non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) reported a patient. Difficulties diagnosis and management will also be highlighted. Methods: A 70-y-old Caucasian female,...
Introduction Global surgery conferences are critical for sharing best practices, networking, developing policies and strengthening surgical systems, yet they often under-represent low- middle-income countries (LMICs), perpetuating academic inequities. This study describes systemic barriers to frontline provider participation, suggests actionable recommendations facilitate the inclusion of LMIC voices at these conferences. Methods The development consensus statement involved Association...
