Background: Surrogates often provide substituted judgement for neurologically critically ill patients. Resilience and spirituality are understudied constructs in this patient population. In this study we examine how accurately surrogates estimate measures of resilience and spirituality for neurologically critically ill patients.

Department of Cardiology, Ascension St John Medical Center, Tulsa, OK, United States of America. Electronic address:
Background: There is limited data on gender differences among patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) who present as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and develop cardiogenic shock (CS).
Objectives: To describe outcomes of SCAD patients presenting with STEMI and CS and outline the differences between men and women.
Methods: We queried the US Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from January 2016 to December 2020 to identify patients with SCAD presenting with STEMI who developed CS.
Management of Elbow Terrible Triad Injuries: A Comprehensive Review and Update.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
August 2024
From the Ascension St. John Medical Center, Detroit, MI (Fahs, Waldron, Afsari, and Best), Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital, Warren, MI (Fahs, Waldron, Afsari, and Best).
The "terrible triad" of the elbow, encompassing elbow dislocation, radial head fracture, and coronoid process fracture, remains a formidable challenge in orthopaedic practice. Typically, stabilizing structures in the elbow fail from lateral to medial through a posterolateral rotatory force after a fall onto an outstretched upper extremity. Surgery is often needed to repair the lateral ligamentous complex, replace or fix the radial head, possibly repair the anterior capsule or fix the coronoid, and consider medial repair or application of an internal versus external fixator.

Pharmacotherapy
July 2024
Department of Pharmacy, Ascension Providence Hospital, Southfield, Michigan, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Corticosteroids have been widely used in critical care for various conditions like respiratory distress, septic shock, and COVID-19, showing both benefits and risks.
- Key advantages include improved treatment outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality rates, while significant adverse effects include hyperglycemia, hypertension, and increased infection risk.
- There is currently no thorough report on corticosteroid use in critical care, highlighting the need for better understanding and management of their use in therapy.
Cutaneous Cryptococcosis Manifested as a Large Cystic Mass: A Rare Manifestation of Cryptococcus Infection.
Cureus
April 2024
Infectious Diseases, Ascension St. John Medical Center, Tulsa, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Cryptococcus infection is a serious fungal infection mainly affecting immunocompromised individuals, such as organ transplant recipients and HIV patients, with symptoms ranging from skin lesions to severe systemic issues.
- The case study discusses a 50-year-old woman with diabetes and kidney transplant history who exhibited symptoms like fever and cough, along with findings of a lung lesion and a cystic mass on her foot.
- Diagnosis of disseminated cryptococcus infection was confirmed through imaging and lab tests, and the patient successfully responded to antifungal treatment, highlighting the need for awareness of this rare presentation in transplant patients.
Treatment of Refractory Status Epilepticus With Continuous Intravenous Anesthetic Drugs: A Systematic Review.
JAMA Neurol
May 2024
Department of Neurology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Importance: Multiple continuous intravenous anesthetic drugs (CIVADs) are available for the treatment of refractory status epilepticus (RSE). There is a paucity of data comparing the different types of CIVADs used for RSE.
Objective: To systematically review and compare outcome measures associated with the initial CIVAD choice in RSE in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
The Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Patients with Heart Failure: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Obes Surg
December 2023
Department of Surgery, University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine, Tulsa, OK, USA.
The current study aims to evaluate the effect of bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) on the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with diagnosed heart failure (HF). Fourteen related articles with 217 patients were included in the final analysis. LVEF significantly improved after BMS in patients with HF with a mean difference of 7.

Neuroimage Clin
December 2022
Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, 1111 W 17th Street, Tulsa, OK 74107, USA; University of Arizona, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 1501 N. Campbell Avenue, PO Box 245044, Tucson, AZ 85724, USA. Electronic address:
Ischemic strokes affecting the medial medulla are exceedingly rare. The anatomical basis for the relative infrequency of this stroke syndrome has been largely uninvestigated due to historically coarse MRI and CT scan resolution. We capture and digitally dissect the highest-ever-resolution diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced CT (diceCT) scanned images of a cadaveric brainstem to map arterial territories implicated in medial medullary infarctions.

Objective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified by their ICD-10 codes or classifications in stroke databases.
