Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for managing major complications of cirrhosis including refractory ascites, hydrothorax, and variceal bleed. The impact advanced age on outcomes TIPS has not been studied comprehensively. Therefore, we aimed to study optimal cutoff in context MELD score patients undergoing TIPS. A single-center retrospective analysis all adult with cirrhosis, who underwent between 2002 2020 was performed. Univariate...
Thyroid cancer shows high heritability but causative genes remain largely unknown. According to a common hypothesis the genetic predisposition thyroid is highly heterogeneous; being in part due many different rare alleles. Here we used linkage analysis and targeted deep sequencing detect novel single-nucleotide mutation chromosome 4q32 (4q32A>C) large pedigree displaying non-medullary carcinoma (NMTC). This generally ultra-rare; it was not found 38 NMTC families, 2676 sporadic cases or 2470...
Abstract Background Medical humanities courses that incorporate the visual arts traditionally require in-person instruction and visits to museums. The COVID-19 pandemic afforded medical educators a unique opportunity implement evaluate virtual programming. Methods A two-week, 7-module medicine elective course for third fourth-year students was conducted virtually in Spring of 2021. included traditional didactic components as well range hands-on creative art activities including painting,...
Complex wounds are common complications in hospice and palliative medicine (HPM), especially patients with aggressive malignancies. Myiasis, or an infestation of maggots, is a rare but significant complication such wounds. While uncommon the United States, many HPM have multiple risk factors comorbidities that increase their vulnerability to this condition. Currently, there no standard diagnostic treatment guidelines for wound myiasis. In addition, management strategies may not be easily...
Summary Background TikTok is one of the fastest growing social media platforms. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has recently become a trending topic interest among users. Aim To better understand quality and accuracy information presented in most popular IBS‐relevant videos on TikTok. Methods We reviewed with tag ‘IBS’. excluded those not relevant to IBS or lasting <10 s >10 min. Baseline characteristics about were collected. Two independent reviewers assessed each video using DISCERN...

Abstract Background Trust and distrust have shaped health behaviour during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Since start of pandemic, misinformation polarization eroded trust across United States. In states like Michigan, pandemic restrictions led to significant unrest. Michiganders also faced disproportionate morbidity mortality from this period. Objective The objective qualitative study was understand individual experiences in low‐income early Participants Twenty‐four participants at or below 200%...
WHAT LESSONS WERE LEARNED?Students who are naive to the history of challenges faced by medical school administration can successfully lead reform efforts where faculty and administrators have previously failed.This may be particularly important for that shared Student Affairs Curriculum offices, conflicts between supporting students holding them accountable behaviours arise.Having act as agents academic is empowering engaging key stakeholders in their education, while adding value larger...
Introduction: TIPS is an effective procedure for the management of complications decompensated cirrhosis. Multiple independent studies suggest that older age important predictor survival and post-TIPS hepatic encephalopathy. Despite this, data studying optimal cutoff lacking. We aim to assess impact different cutoffs on mortality other clinically significant outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study included adults with cirrhosis who underwent at The Ohio State University between 2000...
Introduction: TikTok is one of the fastest growing social media platforms in world. There ongoing research on use as a tool for patient education. However, there are concerns that can also disseminate poor quality information be misleading. While around irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-related education surprisingly limited, IBS has recently become viral topic interest amongst users. Our study objective to better understand and accuracy presented most popular IBS-relevant videos TikTok....
Cement emboli are a well-established complication of kyphoplasties and vertebroplasties can easily be mistaken for wires. While commonly performed vertebral fractures caused by metastases from malignancies such as multiple myeloma, the implication cement in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients is not well documented. Our patient presented with an incidental intracardiac embolism found while undergoing workup BMT. He was managed conservatively, but put on hold until could removed due to...
Variceal bleeding is the most lethal manifestation of portal hypertension, commonly due to esophageal varices in setting liver cirrhosis. Isolated gastric (IGV) are a rare cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding, often pancreatic origin. In this case we present complex patient with history remote splenic injury leading portopulmonary hypertension and development refractory IGV. We discuss extensive multidisciplinary approach taken provide comprehensive care control which included endoscopic...
Abstract Resistance to endocrine therapy is a common problem in patients with estrogen receptor alpha (ER α ) positive breast cancer. In this study, we took non-biased genome-wide approach identify novel mechanisms of resistance using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) activating (CRISPRa) screen. Results from the screen identified 109 candidate resistance-associated genes, several these such as EGFR and SRC, having been previously associated resistance. One...
