Transendocardial stem cell injection (TESI) with mesenchymal cells improves remodeling in chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy, but the effect of site remains unknown.To address whether TESI exerts its effects at only or also remote areas, we hypothesized that segmental myocardial scar and ejection fraction improve to a greater extent injected than noninjected segments.Biplane ventriculographic endocardial tracings were recorded. was guided 10 sites infarct-border zones. Sites mapped according...

The overdose crisis remains a critical public health problem, creating an urgent need to train physicians in the treatment and management of opioid use disorder (OUD). Our medicine clerkship module aimed close this gap by training assessing students' motivational interviewing skills, harm reduction knowledge, nonstigmatizing language patients with OUD.We evaluated impact small-group, case-based activity patient panel on clinical documentation skills students clerkship. Clinical was based...
Background: Medical schools with complex patient populations, characterized by linguistic diversity and uncertain immigration status, face challenges in imparting essential skills care, particularly understanding healthcare barriers, building rapport, fostering empathy. A South Florida medical school a predominantly non-English-speaking undocumented population piloted Patient Navigation (PN) program within the first-year curriculum to address these challenges. We present student feedback...
Medical student-run patient navigation (PN) programs enhance healthcare access in underserved communities. This study examines the relationship between demographics and PN outcomes a student-led program.
Background: The patient navigation model has been used to connect patients who attend community health fairs with follow-up care. Optimizing the organizational structure of a centered around risk stratification may be important for improving rates successful healthcare coordination and access. This report describes experience lessons learned from implementing optimizing fit needs low-income ethnically diverse South Florida community. Methods: A based on an algorithmic system was created...

Introduction: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by gradual destruction of parietal cells leading to hypochlorhydria and intrinsic factor deficiency. Due malabsorption, these changes frequently cause micronutrient deficiencies such as vitamin B12 iron, which typically account for patients’ symptoms at presentation. This case report aims highlight that isolated weight loss can be the initial presentation AIG. Case Description/Methods: A 53-year-old man...
