INTRODUCTION: Rh D alloimmunization is the serologic response that occurs when Rh D-negative patients are exposed to Rh D-positive blood. Rh D blood typing is recommended in pregnancy to prevent alloimmunization. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old gravida 3, para 2012 (G3P2012) previously Rh D-negative female presented with discordant and weakly positive Rh D blood typing results. Confirmatory genetic testing revealed weak D phenotype that can be treated clinically as Rh D-positive...

INTRODUCTION: Central cord syndrome, the most common incomplete traumatic spinal cord injury, often results in functional impairment with variable recovery. CASE PRESENTATION: Central cord syndrome developed in a 64-year-old man during routine home use of an inversion table. DISCUSSION: The incidence of central cord syndrome, which occurs most frequently after a fall, is increasing among older persons. Age-related changes in the cervical spine may predispose the spinal cord to compression and injury during a fall...

INTRODUCTION: Advanced liver disease can present with severe thrombocytopenia that can be difficult to delineate and manage. Here we describe a unique entity of accelerated intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis (AICF) in a patient with decompensated liver disease. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old male with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis was admitted for weakness, nausea, metabolic derangement, and acute kidney injury determined to be secondary to decompensated liver disease...

BACKGROUND: Given the need for a diverse health care workforce, efforts must be made early in their education to support underrepresented minorities in medicine and the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. METHODS: The Eyes on the Future program introduces underrepresented minority 8th grade students to science and medicine via interactive science-based programming and mentorship by medical and graduate students. Program impact was evaluated using pre- and post-program surveys...

INTRODUCTION: Pediatric hospitalized patients often are discharged before all lab tests are completed. Given the risk of medical errors related to inadequate test follow-up, we piloted a collaborative initiative to address tests pending at discharge (TPAD) within our pediatric hospital medicine section. Our objectives were to delineate the responsibilities of case managers and pediatric hospital medicine clinicians in addressing these tests and to establish a communication process. METHODS: We formed an interprofessional team and performed a current state assessment, including a survey to pediatric hospital medicine clinicians to assess time spent following up TPAD and confidence that results were followed up in a timely and appropriate manner...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Rachel J Craven, Madeline K Moureau, Heidi W Brown, Emily M Buttigieg
BACKGROUND: Opioids prescribed for postoperative pain have exceeded patient need in the United States, playing a significant role in the opioid epidemic. In the preintervention phase of this project (September 2018 - March 2019), a chart review and patient survey revealed that patients were prescribed double the number of opioids they consumed following gynecologic surgery. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain whether an educational intervention recommending opiate prescriptions based on postoperative opioid use decreases gynecologic surgeons' opiate prescriptions...

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea complicates 10% to 32% or greater of pregnancies, however, reports on long-term effects on the children of pregnancies affected by obstructive sleep apnea are limited. OBJECTIVE: We sought to test the hypothesis that the children of pregnant people with symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy have an increased incidence of autism spectrum disorder. METHODS: This was a case-control study comparing the pregnancies of people whose children were later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder without a known associated genetic condition to those whose children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder with a known associated genetic condition...

INTRODUCTION: Low-carbohydrate diets and time-restricted eating are methods to improve hemoglobin A1C in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, insulin-using patients are often counseled against these practices due to hypoglycemia concerns. This observational study evaluated a protocol utilizing both methods coupled with proactive insulin titration. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a timed eating protocol for insulin-using patients and to assess its impact on outcomes, including insulin use and hemoglobin A1C...

BACKGROUND: The United States is currently experiencing the worst epidemic of drug overdose in the country's history. We sought to understand whether changes in drug use behavior and access to prevention services during the COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to increased drug overdose. METHODS: We recruited adults with a history of injection drug use to complete an online survey during March through June 2021 to assess whether overdose experiences, drug use behaviors, and access to prevention services changed due to the pandemic...
