Early pandemic in-hospital outcomes and mortality risk factors in COVID-19 solid organ transplant patients
CONCLUSION: In this nationally representative sample, SOT patients presenting with COVID-19 experienced similar rates of mortality compared to those without SOT. SOT patients were more likely to develop acute kidney injury. Further research is needed to understand the complex relationship between transplant patient outcomes and COVID-19.PMID:38628349 | PMC:PMC11018036 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2325310 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Inpatient outcomes for lung cancer patients presenting with superior vena cava thrombosis
CONCLUSION: Race, insurance type, and comorbidities impacted the likelihood of developing SVC thrombosis in patients with lung cancer. SVC thrombosis is a poor prognostic factor for patients with lung cancer. Further studies to evaluate these disparities are warranted.PMID:38628350 | PMC:PMC11018079 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2317698 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Factors associated with unintended perianesthesia hypothermia
CONCLUSIONS: The novel and noteworthy finding was the association between TIVA and perianesthesia hypothermia. Thoracic, radiologic, and obstetrical procedures were associated with greater rates of and odds for hypothermia. Other identified factors can help to stratify patients for risk for hypothermia.PMID:38628320 | PMC:PMC11018043 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2314443 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Leonard Rowntree, Louis Wilson, Fielding Garrison, and the origins of teaching medical history at the Mayo Clinic
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 28;37(3):493-500. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2024.2314448. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTA visiting surgeon described his disappointment with an aspect of the Mayo Clinic in 1914, stating that there was "the almost lack of anything that could be dignified by the term 'lecture.'" One year later, the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was founded. By 1917, the foundation declared history of medicine a graduate-level subject, and history of medicine questions were included in final oral examinations. In 1920 and 1921, lectures were given on historical topics; however, these lectures p...

Uterus transplantation: what the world's religions have to say
This article provides a broad background on the current positions major world religions have taken on UTx (or its components) and the alternative paths to parenthood of gestational surrogacy and adoption. It is intended to help clinicians communicate the information necessary for individuals interested in uterus donation or transplantation to determine-in consultation with their spiritual advisors or religious authorities when needed-how these options align with religious beliefs or teachings.PMID:38628325 | PMC:PMC11018035 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2308475 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

The one cloud on a sunny day: Using emotional intelligence to manage emotions from negative written feedback
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Mar 4;37(3):501-502. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2024.2315871. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTPhysician trainees receive anonymous written feedback about their clinical performance, which can be challenging to interpret. Negative written feedback can evoke a strong emotional response. An educational gap exists on how to handle receiving negative written feedback and the accompanying emotions. Teaching trainees the tenets of emotional intelligence, including emotional self-awareness and self-management, could be an avenue to improve the experience of receiving feedback. Face-to-face coaching may also hel...

Sarcoidosis presenting as multiple osseous lesions
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Mar 19;37(3):489-492. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2024.2325322. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTSarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory condition presenting with the formation of noncaseating granulomas. These granulomas can be found in nearly every organ of the body, but in 90% of cases the lungs are involved. Osseous manifestations are seen in only 3% to 13% of cases and are typically seen alongside the more common pulmonary manifestations. These lesions can be misdiagnosed as metastatic cancer so biopsy, along with clinical correlation and exclusion of other diseases, is necessary to make the diagno...
