Our study aimed to assess racial/ethnic disparities prevalence awareness of using nationally representative data. In National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014, 14 722 persons had serology testing. We estimated infection, past exposure, selected characteristics calculated adjusted odds...
Leptin is associated with metabolic disorders, which predispose one to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The role of leptin in NAFLD pathogenesis not fully understood. We aim investigate the association between serum level and severity using U.S. nationally representative data.Data were obtained from United States Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. was defined by ultrasound detection hepatic steatosis absence other diseases. fibrosis determined score (NFS). used...
Quality improvement (QI) is essential in clinical practice, requiring effective teaching residency. Barriers include lack of structure, mentorship, and time.To develop a longitudinal QI curriculum for an internal medicine residency program with limited faculty resources evaluate its effectiveness.All residents were provided dedicated research time every 8 weeks during their ambulatory blocks. Groups 3 to 5 across all postgraduate year levels formed. Two members 1 chief resident advised...
To investigate the time trends of prevalence and predictors acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in United States from 2005 to 2014 using nationally representative data.AGE results numerous visits emergency departments outpatient clinics annually with estimated attributable cost US economy up $145 billion dollars. However, AGE are not fully understood.Data were obtained National Health Nutrition Survey (NHANES) 2014, a health survey. was defined by medical question (Do you have stomach or intestinal...
Recent trends in complications following inpatient therapeutic Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remain poorly defined. We studied of gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage, perforation, and mortality ERCPs from 2000 to 2012 with the hypothesis that would have down trending complication rates.First, we isolated patients 18 years or older using International Classification Diseases, Ninth Edition National Inpatient Sample databases. Procedures complicated by were identified....
Tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes death around world despite advancements in diagnostic testing and medical therapies. It commonly affects lungs, but isolated extra pulmonary clinical manifestations have been reported. oral cavity is exceedingly rare. We present a case patient with dermatomyositis on chronic steroid therapy, who presented tuberculosis involving tongue as only manifestation disseminated disease. Physicians must be aware patients at risk, order to avoid delays...
Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare but distinct type of with an aggressive course and high mortality. Most patients are diagnosed late in the disease usually present generalized lymphadenopathy. A minority have skin lesions at time diagnosis, more commonly form nonspecific maculopapular rash or without pruritus. We report case AITL presenting chronic, recurrent angioedema urticaria-like no palpable peripheral adenopathy. Primary Care physicians, dermatologists, allergists...
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are commonly seen in immunocompromised patients, particularly patients with HIV. However, fulminant CMV infection concurrent HSV non-HIV quite rare.

Objective: To implement a modified team-based learning (TBL) approach in ambulatory care education- for large Internal Medicine residency program with limited resources- and to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: 91 medicine residents were exposed TBL curriculum, composed of high-yield topics medicine. All participated 10 sessions per academic year. One faculty one chief resident developed the pre-session reading requirements,...
Introduction: There is limited data in the literature on outcomes of patients that undergo Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) teaching versus non-teaching hospitals. Since ERCP has potential for numerous complications, our aim was to assess differences post-ERCP infection rates, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal (GI) bleed, perforation and mortality nonteaching hospitals nationwide. We hypothesized complication rates would be higher given involvement trainees greater...
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in United States. One simple, overlooked, and easily available therapy can reduce this risk: aspirin. Low dose aspirin reduces risk first time myocardial infarction (MI) men ischemic stroke (CVA) women. The American Heart Association recommends anti-platelet for those with an ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) score> 7.5%. aim our study was to determine adherence guidelines regarding primary prevention resident clinic.
