Authors: Bain Tolbey , Juma Mina , Hoofman Jacob , Khan Ayesha
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The pap smear is a screening tool designed to reduce the incidence of invasive cervical cancer. The incidence of cervical cancer diagnosis has decreased by 50% from 1970 to 2010. This is largely accredited to pap smear screening, follow up colposcopy appropriate surgical treatment. The pap smear was performed annually for many years; however, in 2012 the guidelines changed to spaced screening pap smears. In our resident clinic we serve patients with barriers to health care. These barriers limit follow up for abnormal pap smears. This study aimed to identify the follow up rate after abnormal pap with colposcopy among resident continuity clinic patients.

Methods: The patients with annual exams from resident clinic were collected from Jan 1st, 2023 to Jan 1st, 2024.

Study Design: The pap smear results and follow up were reviewed.

Results: During the year 2023, 402 patients presented to the resident continuity clinic for annual exams. Pap smears were obtained in 82% of our annuals and 12% had an abnormal pap result. Of these patients, only 62% had appropriate follow up colposcopy.

Discussion: The results from our study revealed a low rate of follow up from abnormal pap smear.

Conclusion: This study allowed us to better understand the abnormal pap smear follow up in our resident clinic population. Future area of study includes how shorter interval follow up after abnormal pap smear screening may affect colposcopy follow up rates.

Authors: Antonios Kais , Berinstein Elliot , Dutta Priyatta , Ammar Afnan
Published: August 2024

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common type of chronic liver disease in the world and is projected to become the leading indication for liver transplantation. Studies have shown that in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), liver steatosis, advanced fibrosis, and cirrhosis were present in 73.8% 15.4%, and 7.7% of patients, respectively. The American Association For The Study Of Liver Disease recently published new guidelines that recommend that all patients with T2DM be screened for MAFLD. The Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) is a validated non-invasive screening tool that can be used as an initial screen for MAFLD. We identified that T2DM patients were not being screened appropriately in our outpatient internal medicine clinic. The goal of this quality improvement project was to increase the screening of T2DM for NAFLD by creating a smart phrase and providing education to providers.

Methods: We reviewed the medical charts for 514 patients with T2DM seen in our Academic Internal Medicine (AIM) Clinic between 2020 and 2022 to assess baseline screening rates. A smartphrase was created through EPIC and included all relevant information to help providers assess for complications of T2DM including MAFLD. For cycle 1, starting in 12/2022, the smart phrase was piloted with 5 residents, and their usage was recorded. For cycle 2, starting 04/2023, the smartphrase was shared with all residents, and multiple educational sessions were held. Usage of the smartphrase, recording a FIB-4 score or collecting labs to do so were monitored.

Results: Results of a baseline assessment of 514 patients with T2DM showed that 0 % of patients were screened with a FIB 4 score. During cycle 1, the smart phrase was used in 41% of patient visits when T2DM was addressed. A FIB-4 score was recorded or labs were ordered to do so in 20.9 % of patients. During cycle 2, the smart phrase was used in 10% of patient visits and FIB-4 score was recorded or labs were ordered 10.6% of the time. However, when the smartphrase was used, a FIB-4 score was recorded in 85.7% of the time.

Conclusions: It is important to identify individuals with NAFLD while it is in the early stages to prevent progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Implementing a smart phrase was shown to improve the screening rates for NAFLD. Further improvement can be made by automatically calculating a FIB-4 score and alerting providers if a FIB-4 score has not been documented in the past 2 years.

Authors: Fonseca Carolina , Phillipsborn Rebecca , Szpunar Susan , Anne Premchand
Published: August 2024

The current trend in climate has been associated with adverse health effects and disruption to healthcare delivery. Recent papers have emphasized the importance of addressing this topic in medical education (medical school and residency) in order to prepare physicians to care for patients in a changing climate. However, most medical schools and residency programs have not incorporated this topic into their curriculum. The goal of this research project was to see if implementing a 5 lecture curriculum on the intersections between climate change and peditric health would be an effective way of addressing this issue in a pediatric residency program.
Standardization of Inpatient Hypertension Management
Authors: Krishna Lavu Vamsi , Aldaoud Nour , Salvi Dhairya , Yesilyaprak Abdullah , Tegeltija Vesna
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Hypertension is a frequent occurrence during hospitalization and physicians are routinely called to treat hypertensive events despite the asymptomatic nature of patients. Although guidelines about outpatient management of hypertension are available, management strategies for asymptomatic inpatient hypertension are lacking. Without a standardized approach, physicians treat asymptomatic hypertension utilizing inconsistent strategies including intravenous antihypertensives (IVAHs). The use of IVAHs has shown to have adverse effects that are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Aim: The aim of this project is to standardize the approach to inpatient asymptomatic hypertension and minimize use of IVAHs by 25% in 6 months.

Method: Using the IHI Model, a quality improvement project was initiated. Root cause analysis revealed a lack of standard approach to managing asymptomatic hypertension. For PDSA 1, a standardized approach algorithm was created, and residents were educated about criteria for assessing symptoms, any contributing factors/secondary hypertension and if they had a history of hypertension/home meds. For PDSA 2, we expanded education for the nursing staff and provided them with the treatment flowchart. We also included the pharmacy department in our initiative, to form a multidisciplinary approach. For PDSA 3, we included Nurse Practitioners in our education.

Results: Prior to PDSA 1, 24 charts were analysed and over 58% of patients (14/24) had received inappropriate IVAHs. Post-intervention, 31 charts were analysed and showed a 32.5 % reduction in IVAH use. Prior to PDSA 2, another 36 patient charts were analysed and 25% of patients had received inappropriate IVAHs. Post-intervention, 21 charts were analysed and showed an 11 % reduction in IVAH use. For PDSA 3, 53% of patients had received inappropriate IVAHs. Which reduced by 11% post intervention. Our post-intervention analysis is ongoing, and although data suggests a promising decrease in the use of inappropriate IVAHs, it has been inconsistent, and sustainability will become a challenge.

Conclusion/Next Steps: Our project led to the implementation of a standardized algorithm, thus decreasing inappropriate use of IVAHs and minimizing cost. Management of asymptomatic hypertension in the hospital begins with addressing contributing factors such as pain or anxiety, then reviewing held home medication. With the implementation of a standardized algorithm, we found some success in the reduction of use of IVAHs. Our next steps include implementing the algorithm in the EMR system to have an alert system to clarify when IVAHs are indicated and when other options should be reviewed. We plan to continue our multidisciplinary efforts with the pharmacy and EMR staff along with new admission PA/NP service. Re-education throughout the year will also be implemented to improve sustainability.

Published: August 2024

Waste Agricultural Biomass (WAB) is a challenging problem in this modern era. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the economic feasibility of manufacturing carbon nanomaterials from durian waste biomass using ionic liquids. Several economic evaluation parameters are analyzed to inform the production potential of valuable materials from Biomass. The results showed that the production of carbon nanoparticles from biomass is quite prospective. Technical analysis for converting 250 kg of waste durian seeds shows the total cost of the equipment purchased was USD 12,086. Adding the Lang Factor, the total investment cost should be less than USD 53,661. This value is relatively economical (ie the project requires less investment funds) to reduce 75 tons per year or 100 tons per 20 project years. Compared to the total amount of degraded durian seed waste, the value is only around 18 USD per ton. Indeed, it is inexpensive to access a problem solver in degrading a ton of durian seed waste. To ensure project feasibility, projects are assessed from ideal to worst conditions in production, including labor, sales, raw materials, utilities, and external conditions (ie, taxes and subsidiaries).

Rethinking Perspective for Positive Change
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article explores how perspectives shape organizational leadership and the potential for change. Research shows perspectives are influenced by cognitive biases, social roles, and mental filters more than objective reality. While ingrained, perspectives can be reframed through approaches like growth mindset training, resilience studies demonstrating challenges are temporary, and leadership during crises like the 2008 auto industry downturn. Diverse perspectives improve complex problem-solving, though psychological safety is needed. Tools for shifting perspectives include design thinking, feedback systems, and self-reflection. Examples illustrate perspective shifts liberating resilience and innovation at a hospital, consulting firm, and non-profit. The article argues leaders should facilitate broadening perspectives through inclusion, dialogues, and personal introspection to maintain adaptability amid uncertainty. Changing perspectives unleashes insights, energy, and new solutions for growth.

Introdução: A cirurgia videolaparoscópica tem avançado significativamente no tratamento dedoenças biliopancreáticas, oferecendo diversas vantagens em relação à cirurgia abertatradicional. A hepatectomia robótica e a pancreatoduodenectomia laparoscópica emergiramcomo técnicas promissoras, destacando-se pela precisão cirúrgica e menores taxas decomplicações, especialmente em centros de alto volume. No entanto, debates sobre sua eficácia esegurança em comparação com a cirurgia aberta continuam, e exigem mais estudos paraconsolidar sua superioridade. As inovações tecnológicas, como o uso de sistemas robóticos e amelhoria na instrumentação cirúrgica, têm sido fundamentais para essas evoluções. Objetivo:Avaliar a eficácia, segurança e os desfechos de recuperação da cirurgia videolaparoscópica nomanejo de doenças biliopancreáticas e comparar esses desfechos com os obtidos por meio dacirurgia aberta. Métodos: Uma revisão sistemática de literatura foi realizada nas bases de dadosPubmed e Scopus, com um filtro de 6 anos e estudos de alta qualidade metodológica em línguainglesa. Resultados e Discussão: Foram selecionados 7 artigos para compor essa pesquisa. Acirurgia videolaparoscópica (CVL) e a cirurgia robótica demonstram ser alternativas eficazes àcirurgia aberta tradicional no tratamento de doenças biliopancreáticas. A CVL oferecerecuperação mais rápida e menor impacto fisiológico, com resultados clínicos comparáveis aosda cirurgia aberta. A cirurgia robótica, com o sistema Da Vinci, proporciona maior precisão econtrole, permitindo a execução de procedimentos complexos com segurança adicional. Aescolha entre essas técnicas deve levar em conta a complexidade do caso, a experiência docirurgião e as capacidades do centro cirúrgico. A continuidade da pesquisa e o treinamentoespecializado são essenciais para maximizar os benefícios e melhorar os resultados para ospacientes. Conclusão: Tanto a cirurgia videolaparoscópica quanto a cirurgia robótica sãoeficazes no tratamento de doenças biliopancreáticas, oferecendo vantagens significativas emrelação à cirurgia aberta tradicional. Ambas proporcionam recuperação mais rápida e menorimpacto fisiológico, com a cirurgia robótica destacando-se pela maior precisão e controle. Aescolha da técnica deve ser baseada na complexidade do caso e na experiência do cirurgião. Apesquisa contínua e o treinamento especializado são fundamentais para otimizar os resultados emelhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Objetivo: Esta revisão bibliográfica narrativa teve como objetivo explorar a prevalência de talassemia em pacientes com anemia nãoferropênica no Brasil, analisando evidências disponíveis para oferecer uma visão detalhada sobre a questão. Métodos: A pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados eletrônicas, como PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science e SciELO, cobrindo o período de janeiro de 2010 a agosto de 2024. Utilizaram-se termos de busca relacionados à talassemia e anemia não ferropênica no contexto brasileiro. Foram incluídos estudos com dados primários ou análises secundárias relevantes e excluídos estudos que não abordaram especificamente a população brasileira ou eram resumos de conferências. Resultados: A prevalência de talassemia em pacientes com anemia não ferropênica no Brasil varia de 1% a 10%, com taxas mais elevadas no Nordeste e Sudeste em comparação ao Sul. A eletroforese dehemoglobina foi o método diagnóstico mais utilizado, mas a PCR também é importante, embora menos acessível. A prevalência mais alta nas regiões do Nordeste e Sudeste reflete a presença de populações com ascendência mediterrânea e africana. Discussão: A variação na prevalência observada pode ser atribuída a fatores étnicos, regionais e metodológicos. A dependência da eletroforese de hemoglobina e a falta de diretrizes uniformes contribuem para o subdiagnóstico da talassemia. A predominância feminina na detecção pode estar relacionada a uma maior procura por atendimento médico. Conclusão: A talassemia é uma condição frequentemente subdiagnosticada em pacientes com anemia não ferropênica no Brasil. A padronização das diretrizes diagnósticas e a promoção de tecnologias avançadas são essenciais para melhorar a identificação e o tratamento da doença. A conscientização dosprofissionais de saúde e a implementação de protocolos uniformes podem contribuir significativamente para um diagnóstico mais preciso e um manejo adequado.

SUJEITO E CIDADE: apontamentos sobre a restauração da cidade subjetiva
Authors: Rodrigues Rogério
Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste ensaio busca colocar em debate o conceito contemporâneo de subjetividade, a partir de Felix Guattari (2000), o qual coloca em evidência as dificuldades da restauração da cidade subjetiva. O modelo de desenvolvimento e de tecnologias tem produzido a cidade na distopia como lugar de pouca ou nenhuma sustentabilidade, em que prevalece a lógica especulativa de mercado. Neste contexto, o sujeito perde a relação com o espaço e compreende a cidade apenas como instrumento para locomoção, moradia, trabalho e formas de consumo, portanto, destituído completamente de elementos reflexivos com o lugar. A metodologia utilizada neste ensaio encontra-se no campo da teoria crítica, tomando como aporte teórico a Filosofia da Educação, como forma de interpretar os processos formativos. A nossa conclusão se refere diretamente em apresentar a nossa dificuldade em realizar a ruptura desse modelo de cidade instrumental, que segmenta a relação do sujeito com o espaço da cidade.
