Spontaneous Rupture of a Right Gonadal Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report.

Gonadal artery aneurysm is a rare condition characterized by nonspecific presentation, typically manifesting as flank pain and formation of a retroperitoneal hematoma on imaging studies. Failure to recognize and treat this condition promptly can have serious consequences, as the presence of an aneurysm may lead to severe bleeding. Notably, most reported cases of gonadal artery aneurysms are not trauma-induced but rather spontaneous.

Acquired Hemophilia A After Multiple Transfusions Following Trauma.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a coagulative disorder that is caused by the presence of inhibitors of factor VIII (FVIII). The presence of coagulation factor inhibitors can lead to severe episodes of bleeding in patients with no previous history of bleeding conditions. We present the clinical case of a man with severe bleeding two weeks after falling from a bicycle.

Effect of a Polyp Tracking and Notification Program on Colon Adenoma Surveillance and Compliance to Guideline Recommendations.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in the United States. Surveillance colonoscopy has been shown to reduce colorectal cancer risk. Medical institutions have implemented polyp tracking and notification programs (registries) to ensure adequate surveillance.

The Community Preceptor Crisis: Recruiting and Retaining Community-Based Faculty to Teach Medical Students-A Shared Perspective From the Alliance for Clinical Education.

Issue: Community-based instruction is invaluable to medical students, as it provides "real-world" opportunities for observing and following patients over time while refining history taking, physical examination, differential diagnosis, and patient management skills. Community-based ambulatory settings can be more conducive to practicing these skills than highly specialized, academically based practice sites. The Association of American Medical Colleges and other national medical education organizations have expressed concern about recruitment and retention of preceptors to provide high-quality educational experiences in community-based practice sites.
