Assessment of non-time-intensive changes to a management course to address course evaluation scores.

Background: Student-completed course evaluations are often included in university faculty promotion and tenure packets but may not be the best metrics for student learning.

Additionally, making course changes can be time consuming for faculty.

Long-term survival following adrenalectomy for secondary adrenal tumors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Secondary adrenal tumors (SATs) are uncommon, and the benefits of adrenalectomy for SATs have not been well-established. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the survival benefits of adrenalectomy for SATs.

Mature Cystic Teratoma Mimics Heterotopic Pregnancy on Sonograph.

Introduction: Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) present clinically with a wide host of different symptomatic manifestations. Because they are often comprised of multiple tissue types, imaging can also take on many different forms making the diagnosis of MCT difficult in certain situations. In this case, we present a patient who had a MCT that mimicked a heterotopic pregnancy on sonograph.

COVID-19 Infection and Simultaneous Worsening of Pre-Existing Neurologic Conditions: A Case Report Series.

Viral infection commonly causes exacerbation of chronic conditions. However, this is not yet well reported in patients with a SARS-CoV2-infection and a history of a chronic neurologic disorder. At our institute, we had a patient presenting with more definitive upper respiratory symptoms and no history of vaccination, while the other patient was a breakthrough case with minimal pulmonary symptoms.
