Since anemia is associated with poor health outcomes, the prevalence of a significant public indicator. Even though primarily caused by iron deficiency, low oxygen-carrying capacity may result from other conditions such as chronic diseases, which remain relevant concern in United States. However, studies examining current rates total US population and more specific subgroups are limited. Data five National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2003 to 2012 were analyzed assess two...
Africa has the second highest neurosurgical workforce deficit globally and many medical students in lack exposure to field. This study aims assess impact of a rotation during school shaping perception interest toward career neurosurgery.Cross-sectional study.A Google form e-survey was disseminated African clinical between February 21st March 20th, 2021. Data on length of, in, neurosurgery were collected. analyzed using descriptive statistics adjusted logistic regression modeling.Data...
This video demonstrates use of the Synaptive 3D exoscope to enhance complex meningioma resection. The patient was a 58-year-old female who presented with new-onset seizures. Workup revealed parasagittal over bilateral cortices. She started on 750 mg Keppra twice daily and tapered dexamethasone discharged. MR venography demonstrated segmental occlusion superior sagittal sinus. then underwent diagnostic angiogram tumor Onyx embolization middle meningeal artery feeders. craniotomy for resection...
Complex cranial vault reconstruction (CCVR) for pediatric craniosynostosis is a high blood loss surgery, which antifibrinolytic agents have been shown to reduce bleeding and transfusion requirements. The relative efficacy of ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA) versus tranexamic (TXA) has not yet evaluated in this population. aim retrospective study was compare perioperative CCVR patients receiving EACA TXA. In cohort 95 children, 47 received 48 We found no differences demographics, adverse outcomes,...
Africa has the second highest neurosurgical workforce deficit globally. Despite many recent advancements in increasing access Africa, published reports have shown that vast majority of undergraduate students little or no exposure to neurosurgery. The lack may pose a challenge reducing deficit, which is one long-term strategies tackling unmet burden disease. Students also miss opportunity appreciate specialty and its demands as well nurture their interest field. This study aims assess impact...
Complex cranial vault reconstruction (CCVR) for repair of craniosynostosis is a procedure associated with high risk bleeding and resultant coagulopathy. The goal this study was to describe lab parameters in cohort pediatric patients undergoing CCVR identify if standard hematologic coagulation laboratory results could predict blood loss. We found that predicted intraoperative postoperative loss, but provided limited mechanistic information improve our understanding coagulopathy craniofacial...
10077 Background: Cutaneous skin cancer is among the most common malignancies in US. While Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data are vital to estimate its incidence, delays under-reporting remained major limitations. Surveillance hindered due exclusion from states’ reportable diseases possible outpatient diagnoses’ omission registries. Thus, exact incidence has not been known. This study determined trends 1999 2016 a nationally representative sample. Methods: New melanoma,...
Objective: This study was conducted to describe the social, mental health difficulties and psychological behavior of students at some middle high schools in Hanoi during COVID-19 lockdown period. Methods: is a cross-sectional November 2021 using form an online survey on 5,315 aged 11-17 years old residing Hanoi. The four main outcome variables included family care pressure, self-esteem, coping with stressful situations, anxiety. Results: Results show that epidemic, about 11.6% experienced...
Clinical informatics remains underappreciated among medical students in part due to a lack of integration into undergraduate education (UME). New developments the study and practice medicine are traditionally introduced via formal curricula. While this path has certain advantages, curricular changes slow may fail showcase breadth clinical activities. Less more flexible approaches can circumvent these drawbacks. Interest groups (IGs), which organized through Association American Medical...
Objective: There is a paucity of studies identifying causes unplanned hospital readmissions due to infectious etiology. The aim this study was investigate the posthysterectomy infections 30 days after discharge. Material and Methods: For retrospective cohort study, current authors queried 3510 consecutive adult patients (≥ 18 years old) undergoing hysterectomy at major academic institution from 2010 2015. Of these patients, 453 (12.9%) 30-day encounters or discharge were identified, 193...
INTRODUCTION: Readmission after hysterectomy is being used as a proxy for quality of care. We aim to assess the roles patient age, BMI, and race on 30 days readmission total laparoscopic (TLH). METHODS: Medical records 168 consecutive patients who underwent TLH at major academic center between 2010 2012 were reviewed. Age, race, status 30-day collected. Non-readmitted readmitted group compared using Welch t-tests Pearson's Chi-square tests with Yate's continuity correction. RESULTS: Among...
INTRODUCTION: We sought to assess whether there is a difference in healthcare utilization costs associated with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) compared vaginal (TVH) uterus size greater than 250 grams. METHODS: The medical records of 227 adult (18 years old) women undergoing an elective at major academic center from 2010 2015 were reviewed. CPT codes used for removal uterine > grams TLH approach [58572-58573] and TVH [58290-58294]. Patient demographics, length hospital stay (LOS)...
INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of data identifying maternal risk factors that can contribute to women undergoing scheduled primary cesarean section. We sought investigate differences in including age and body mass index (BMI) with the various indications for METHODS: Medical records 502 consecutive patients underwent low-transverse section (PLTCS) at major academic institution from 2009 2017 were reviewed. Patient age, BMI specific indication PLTCS collected compared using ANOVA...
INTRODUCTION: There is a scarcity of literature regarding surgical outcomes after total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). We investigated patient risk and reasons associated with readmission within 30 days TLH. METHODS: Medical records 168 consecutive patients who underwent TLH at major academic center between 2010 2012 were reviewed. Robotic hysterectomies excluded. Patient's age, BMI, co-morbidities before surgery collected. Timing, reasons, management readmitted evaluated. RESULTS: Among...
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess whether there a difference in length hospital stay (LOS) and total costs associated with Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) versus Vaginal (TVH) for benign indications. METHODS: Medical records 1,553 adult women undergoing elective TLH or TVH at major academic institution from 2010 2015 were reviewed. CPT codes used included [58570-58573] [58260-58263, 58270, 58290-58294]. Patient demographics, LOS cost hospitalization hysterectomy...
Abstract Introduction Cystic meningiomas are rare, accounting for 2–7% of all intracranial meningiomas. Little is known regarding whether these behave differently compared to solid We sought study this relatively uncommon imaging appearance meningioma and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods A single-institution retrospective cohort surgically-treated patients between 2000–2019 was conducted. defined as a tumor with an intratumoral or peritumoral cyst present on preoperative imaging....
INTRODUCTION: Children undergoing complex cranial vault reconstruction (CCVR) for craniosynostosis experience high rates of bleeding and transfusion, increasing risk perioperative complications. ε-Aminocaproic acid (EACA) tranexamic (TXA) are antifibrinolytic agents that have been shown to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage transfusion requirements during CCVR. However, the relative efficacy these two has not yet evaluated. The aim this study was compare blood loss in children receiving EACA...
