An acute phase reaction from zoledronate mimicking symptoms seen in opioid withdrawal: a case report.

Background: Zoledronate, a bisphosphonate, is a potent first-line treatment for osteoporosis. It is also a preferred treatment for hypercalcemia especially when unresponsive to intravenous fluids. Bisphosphonates can cause acute phase reactions that mimic opioid withdrawal symptoms, which can confound provider decision-making.

Impact of an Educational Intervention on the Opioid Knowledge and Prescribing Behaviors of Resident Physicians.

Objectives: The opioid epidemic is a multifactorial issue, which includes pain mismanagement. Resident physician education is essential in addressing this issue. We aimed to analyze the effects of an educational intervention on the knowledge and potential prescribing habits of emergency medicine (EM), general surgery (GS), and internal medicine residents (IM).

Opioid Knowledge and Prescribing Preferences of Orthopaedic Surgery Residents Before and After an Educational Intervention.

Orthopaedic surgeons are among the highest prescribers of opioids. This study explores the effect of an educational intervention on orthopaedic surgery residents' opioid knowledge and prescribing practices. Orthopaedic residents were surveyed at three urban academic institutions.

The Prevalence of Esophageal Disorders Among Voice Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Reflux-A Retrospective Study.

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of esophageal disorders among voice patients with intractable laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) who have undergone 24 pH impedance and esophageal manometry.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of patients with LPR-associated dysphonia in the absence of subjective dysphagia who presented between January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2019 and underwent 24 pH impedance and esophageal manometry studies after inadequate response to lifestyle modifications, high dose of Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPIs), H2 blockers, alkaline water, and Gaviscon (GlaxoSmithKline, Warren, NJ, USA). The comorbidities, medications, Strobovideolaryngoscopy findings, 24 pH impedance, and esophageal manometry results were analyzed.

Effects of Particle Size of Inhaled Corticosteroid on the Voice.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) particle size influences the development of laryngitis including candida laryngitis, dysphonia, or vocalis muscle atrophy in asthmatic patients.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis.

Methods: Medical records of patients from a quaternary care laryngology practice who have asthma were reviewed retrospectively.

Orthopedic Master's in Business Administration: A career path analysis.

In recent years, it has become increasingly important for physicians to understand the healthcare system holistically. Thus, some physicians have sought formal education in business through a Master's in Business Administration (MBA). In this study, we looked specifically at orthopedic MD-MBAs and their career trajectories.
