Diagnostic yield of cerebral angiography for intracranial hemorrhage in young patients: A single-center retrospective analysis.

Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) secondary to hypertension (HTN) classically occurs in the basal ganglia, cerebellum, or pons. Vascular lesions such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are more common in younger patients. We investigated the utility of diagnostic subtraction angiography (DSA) in young hypertensive patients with non-lobar ICH.

Discovering Factors that Influence Physician Scientist Success in Academic Medical Centers.

This study investigated factors influencing success of physician scientists in Academic Medical Centers. These organizations and individuals drive healthcare in the United States. Translation of scientific discovery to medical practice moves at an astoundingly slow and ineffective rate.

Unique Barriers to Workplace Health Promotion Programs by Wage Category: A Qualitative Assessment of Secondary Data.

Purpose: To understand barriers around accessing or using workplace health promotion (WHP) programs among workers in different wage categories.

Approach: We conducted qualitative analysis of responses to three open-ended questions about WHP program participation, collected as part of an existing WHP program evaluation. Setting: A large mid-western university.

Mental health comorbidity and youth onset type 2 diabetes: A systematic review of the literature.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a burgeoning epidemic in children and adolescents. Adult T2D doubles the risk of depression and mental health comorbidity, makes it more difficult to make the lifestyle, medication adherence and health behavior changes needed to optimize outcomes. There is limited research on the impact of depression and depressive symptoms on youth T2D.

Supporting Employee Health at Work: How Perceptions Differ Across Wage Category.

Purpose: This study examines the association between sources of stress and perceptions of organizational and supervisor support for health and well-being.

Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional analysis.

Setting: Large university in the mid-western United States.

Critical Care Documentation for the Dying Trauma Patient: Are We Recognizing Our Own Efforts?

Background: Missed documentation for critical care time (CCT) for dying patients may represent a missed opportunity for physicians to account for intensive care unit (ICU) services, including end-of-life care. We hypothesized that CCT would be poorly documented for dying trauma patients.

Methods: Adult trauma ICU patients who died between December 2014 and December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.

Epileptic Spasms in Patients With Down Syndrome: Experiences From Caregivers.

Epileptic spasms are the most common type of seizure in infants with Down syndrome; however, the scope of current literature is largely limited to treatment options. We performed a chart review of patients seen at a Down syndrome specialty clinic to identify potential developmental sequelae of Down syndrome and epileptic spasms. We further interviewed parents of the children with Down syndrome and epileptic spasms to identify areas for improvement in counseling, diagnosis, and follow-up.

NAD metabolism in aging and cancer.

NAD is a central metabolite connecting energy balance and organismal growth with genomic integrity and function. It is involved in the development of malignancy and has a regulatory role in the aging process. These processes are mediated by a diverse series of enzymes whose common focus is either NAD's biosynthesis or its utilization as a redox cofactor or enzyme substrate.
