Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an immunologic syndrome characterized by excessive inflammation and tissue injury due to uncontrolled activation of the phagocytic system. The underlying mechanism is a lack of downregulation of activated macrophages and lymphocytes by natural killer and T cells. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is often delayed or missed due to the rarity of the disease, decreased awareness, and clinical picture variability.

With an estimated 2 million major limb amputees and projections reaching 3.6 million by 2050, the increasing prevalence of limb loss in the United States underscores the importance of addressing complications associated with limb loss. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common and often chronic condition affecting 40% to 80% of amputees.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCadaveric dissection has been a foundational principle of medical anatomic education for the last 400 years, yet medical anatomy course hours have been drastically reduced in the last decades. With this course reduction and the availability of other modalities for anatomic instruction, the physician may question the current role of cadavers in medical anatomy courses. This study aims to evaluate the role cadaveric dissection plays in anatomy programs in allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in Missouri and compare course hours to the national trend.

Neuroendovascular rescue of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a large arterial occlusion has evolved throughout the first quarter of the present century, and continues to do so. Starting with the intra-arterial instillation of thrombolytic agents via microcatheters to dissolve occluding thromboembolic material, the current status is one that includes a variety of different techniques such as direct aspiration of thrombus, removal by stent retriever, adjuvant techniques such as balloon angioplasty, stenting, and tactical intra-arterial instillation of thrombolytic agents in smaller branches to treat no-reflow phenomenon. The results have been consistently shown to benefit these patients, irrespective of whether they had already received intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator or not.

Adsorption-based extracorporeal therapies have been subject to technical developments and clinical application for close to five decades. More recently, new technological developments in membrane and sorbent manipulation have made it possible to deliver more biocompatible extracorporeal adsorption therapies to patients with a variety of conditions. There are several key rationales based on physicochemical principles and clinical considerations that justify the application and investigation of such therapies as evidenced by multiple ex vivo, experimental and clinical observations.

Background: Despite existing society guidelines, management of pancreatic (PanNEN) and small bowel (SBNEN) neuroendocrine neoplasms remains inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to identify patient- and/or disease-specific characteristics associated with increased odds of being offered surgery for PanNEN and SBNEN.
Patients And Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database and the National Cancer Database (NCDB) were queried for patients with PanNEN/SBNEN.

Podcasts are an increasingly popular medical education modality, especially in surgical fields. However, the cost of developing a high-quality medical education podcast presents a barrier to many content creators. The authors developed the podcast series 'The Lenspod,' designed to be a cost-efficient but high-quality education resource in ophthalmology.

Introduction: Despite the rise of micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), glaucoma drainage device implantation continues to be a mainstay among glaucoma surgical treatment options. Anterior chamber tube placement, while effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP), poses corneal endothelial risks. Ciliary sulcus tube placement shows promise in reduced corneal endothelial cell loss, but proper sulcus placement can be challenging.

Background: Strengthening health systems through planned safety and quality improvement initiatives is an imperative to achieve more equitable, resilient, and effective care. And yet, years of organizational behavior research demonstrate that change initiatives often fall short because managers fail to account for organizational readiness for change. This finding remains true especially among surgical safety and quality improvement initiatives in low-income countries and middle-income countries.

While HACEK group organisms cause only 1-3% of infective endocarditis (IE) cases, their insidious and varied clinical presentations make for difficult and often delayed diagnoses. We present a 65-year-old male with persistent exertional dyspnea, hemoptysis, and weight loss who was diagnosed with a HACEK aortic graft infection and IE.
