Supporting Equity and Inclusion of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals in Professional Organizations.

Disability is an important and often overlooked component of diversity. Individuals with disabilities bring a rare perspective to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) because of their unique experiences approaching complex issues related to health and disability, navigating the healthcare system, creatively solving problems unfamiliar to many individuals without disabilities, managing time and resources that are limited by physical or mental constraints, and advocating for themselves and others in the disabled community. Yet, individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in STEMM.

Positive Oral Contrast Solution at MDCT for Suspected Acute Appendicitis in Adults: Rate of Appendiceal Luminal Filling of Normal and Inflamed Appendixes.

The purpose of this study was to assess the rate of appendiceal filling with a positive oral contrast solution at MDCT performed for suspected acute appendicitis in adults. We performed a retrospective review of MDCT in 684 consecutive adult patients with suspected acute appendicitis in a 19-month period. Patients were excluded if no positive oral contrast solution (500 mL each of water and polyethylene glycol and 30 mL diatrizoate) was given or if the appendix was not visible or absent.
