Effects of Teprotumumab and Role of Human Leukocyte Antigens Markers in Patients With Thyroid Eye Disease.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of teprotumumab on ophthalmologic and biochemical findings and assess potential genetic markers for response to treatment.

Methods: This is a retrospective study. Participants were 18-76 year old.

Correlative Factors for Traumatic Brain Injury in Combat Ocular Trauma.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant source of disability for active duty service members in both deployed and training settings as well as those who have left active service. Service members with ocular trauma are at risk for a TBI and should be screened appropriately. Early detection results in treatment to minimize long-term sequelae which can often be debilitating.

Examining Perioperative Risk Associated with Simultaneous Resection of Primary Neuroendocrine Tumors and Synchronous Hepatic Metastases.

Background: Surgical debulking of primary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and hepatic resection of metastatic NET disease may each independently improve overall survival. However, evidence for combined primary site debulking and metastasectomy on survival and impact on short-term perioperative outcomes is limited.

Methods: The 2014-2016 ACS-NSQIP targeted hepatectomy database was queried for all patients undergoing liver resection for metastatic NET.

Communication With Limited English-Proficient Families in the PICU.

Objective: Health care disparities have been described for children of limited English-proficient (LEP) families compared with children of English-proficient (EP) families. Poor communication with the medical team may contribute to these worse health outcomes. Previous studies exploring communication in the PICU have excluded LEP families.
