A clinical review of viral hepatitis Viral hepatitis remains a significant public health problem in the United States, despite advances in antiviral therapy and effective vaccines. According to the CDC, about 20,000 deaths each year are attributed to viral hepatitis, and 5 million people are chronically infected and at risk for serious liver disease and hepatocellular cancer. This article reviews the three most common causes of viral hepatitis, screening guidelines, clinical features, medical management, approaches for primary prevention, and the natural history of untreated disease. |
G6PD deficiency: An update Although glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is less known in Western countries than in the Middle East and Africa, global migration and immigration are bringing ethnic groups with the highest incidence of this inherited genetic disorder into the US healthcare system. The G6PD enzyme is critical to protecting erythrocytes against oxidative stress, and deficiency may lead to hemolysis in the presence of certain environmental factors such as infection and some medications and foods. Neonatal jaundice, favism, and hemolysis are associated with exposure to increased oxidative stressors in patients with G6PD deficiency. By recognizing the potential for G6PD deficiency, clinicians can screen for the disorder and teach affected patients how to avoid triggers that result in harmful clinical manifestations. |

Renocolic fistula: A rare complication of obstructive uropathy Renocolic fistulas are abnormal connections between the upper urinary tract and the colon. Chronic renal obstruction and delayed treatment of obstructive renal stones can lead to loss of renal function, inflammation of the kidney and surrounding structures, and the development of fistulas. However, due to the increased availability of CT scans and cystoscopy for diagnosis and treatment, renocolic fistulas resulting from obstructing renal stones have become rare. This article describes a patient who was found to have a renocolic fistula on antegrade percutaneous nephrostogram. The patient was treated with a laparoscopic nephrectomy and minimally invasive colon repair and recovered. |
The importance of protein intake and strength exercises for older adults Sarcopenia, the progressive deterioration of muscle mass, quality, and strength, is prevalent among older adults. Since the first Baby Boomers reached age 65 years in 2010, primary care providers have faced a challenge to address sarcopenia in this growing older population. Preventing sarcopenia is essential for reducing falls, preventing chronic disease, and improving longevity. This article reviews new dietary and exercise guidelines for sarcopenia prevention in older adults. |
Contraception options for patients with known hereditary risk for ovarian cancer For patients with a known hereditary risk of ovarian cancer, primary prevention typically is accomplished through prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. However, some patients may wish to preserve fertility or delay menopause and its associated comorbidities. This article discusses appropriate methods of contraception for these patients. |
Job satisfaction and workplace stressors among surgical providers at a single institution Objective: Job satisfaction and work stress are associated with provider health and patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate job satisfaction and workplace stressors in surgical providers (surgeons, physician assistants [PAs], and NPs). Methods: A survey was distributed to providers within a single surgical department. Job satisfaction and workplace stressors were evaluated by sex, age, profession, career length, and work hours. Results: Providers practicing for 11 to 15 years had greater job satisfaction than those practicing for more than 20 years, with no other differences by demographic group. Females cited supervisory support as a top workplace stressor more than did males (P = .01) and PAs and NPs cited supervisory support (P < .01) and compensation/finances more than surgeons (P = .05). Workplace stressors varied by practice years and work hours. Conclusions: Healthcare organizations should be aware of diversity in perceived workplace stressors. A “one size fits all” approach to provider well-being is likely to be ineffective. |
