FMSRJ Volume 3. Issue 1 LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Dear Readers, Welcome to the third volume of the Florida Medical Student Research Journal. Research presented in this publication highlights the remarkable scholarly work conducted by our peers. From “Risk factors and predictors for non-supine infant sleep position: A narrative review of the literature” to “Efficacy of social skills training in treating negative symptoms of schizophrenia,” the research in this issue pertains to various different aspects of medicine. This issue also highlights the diverse range of pathologies seen in our clinical sites throughout Miami in interesting case reports, including “A rare finding: The case of an esophageal Dieulafoy” and “Acute appendicitis within an incarcerated femoral hernia: A case report.” As medicine continues to shift to an evidence-based model, there is even more emphasis on the production and distribution of quality research to contribute to the pool of evidence from which recommendations are made. As future physician scientists that will soon be responsible for expanding our current knowledge base, it is imperative for medical students to be actively involved in research throughout their training. We hope that this journal will act as a platform not only to share the work of our peers, but also encourage further scholarly work. Since the release of our inaugural volume two years ago, and our first volume with full-length manuscripts last year, we continue to be impressed by the quality and diversity of submissions, and believe we have made strides to fulfill this mission. This volume came to fruition with the unconditional support of the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine faculty. We are sincerely grateful to our advisory board: John A. Rock, MD, MSPH, Carolyn D. Runowicz, MD, Sheldon H. Cherry, MD, FACS, Karin C. Esposito, MD, PhD, Juan M. Acuña, MD, MSc, Juan M. Lozano, MD, MSc, and Marin Gillis, PhD. Finally, we would like to thank the co-founders of the journal, Emily Andersen and Roy Lipworth, for their unwavering support and guidance. We would also like to thank our Senior Editors Leah Cohen, Jonathan Dahan, Aaron Malles, and Anusha Reddy for their continued dedication to the journal, and our Junior Editors Amaara Babwah, Nicole Birrer, Michael Delgado, Emily Geisler, Komal Kinger, Nicole Millan, Wilson Mourad, Sydney Resnik, and Jared Weingart for their hard work making the journal what it is today. We look forward to seeing the journal continue to grow under their leadership.

Complete rigid erections were reached in 10% (MUSETM) vs 48% (ProstavasinTM). The average end-diastolic ¯ow values in the deep penile arteries ranged between 9.2±9.4 cm/s after MUSETM and 4.5±4.8 cm/s after i.c. Alprostadil con®rming the investigator's assessment, that in the vast majority of patients MUSETM were not able to induce a complete cavernous smooth muscle relaxation. In terms of side effects the reported penile pain/burning-rate after MUSETM was 31.4% compared to 10.6% after i.c. Alprostadil. In addition after MUSETM clinically relevant systemic side-effects like dizziness, sweating and hypotension occurred in 5.8% with syncope in 1%. No circulatory side-effects were encountered after i.c. Alprostadil. Urethral bleeding after MUSETM-application was observed in 4.8%. Due to the superior ef®cacy and lower side-effects self-injection therapy with Alprostadil remains the `Gold Standard' in the management of male impotence. MUSETM should be reserved

Efficacy of intracavernosal injections seems superior to that of the intraurethral delivery of drugs, and this may explain the current larger diffusion of the former modality. Safety of these two therapeutic options is well established; however, the attrition rate with these approaches is significant and most patients eventually drop out of treatment. Newer agents with better efficacy-safety profiles and using user-friendly devices for drug administration may potentially increase the long-term satisfaction rate achieved with these therapies. Topical therapy has the potential to become a first- line treatment for erectile dysfunction because it acts locally and is easy to use. At this time, however, the crossing of the barrier caused by the penile skin and tunica albuginea has limited the efficacy of the drugs used.

TriMix is especially useful when patients are unable to take PDE5 Inhibitors because they are taking nitrates, certain beta blockers, or experience severe side effects from the oral medications. Alternative to Tablets TriMix injections are an alternative to PDE5 Inhibitor tablets (Viagra®, Levitra®, Cialis®) and most commonly include the mixture of 3 drugs; phentolamine, papaverine and alprostadil. TriMix is especially useful when patients are unable to take PDE5 Inhibitors because they are taking nitrates, certain beta blockers, or experience severe side effects from the oral medications How It Works: An intracavernous injection, is the most effective non-surgical treatment for ED, according to the American Urologic Association. Injections into the penis, unlike oral medications, trigger an automatic erection in less than 5 minutes. TriMix is a mixture of three vasodilators that when injected, cause the corpus cavernosum to relax, expand and fill with blood, creating a powerful erection Dosage: The initial dose should be 0.1 cc Wait 3 days before increasing dosage. Increase by 0.025 cc until a satisfactory dose is reached. The maximum dose is 0.50 cc. Do not be discouraged by a poor result with the first few injections, as the initial dose has been kept low to avoid a prolonged erection Reversing The Test Dose: Phenylephrine is commonly used to reverse the effects of TriMix to prevent an erection lasting too long while the patient is learning their correct dosage.

Date of Revision: 17,300 Trans-Canada Highway June 01, 2016 Kirkland, Quebec H9J 2M5 Control No. 193414 ® TM Pharmacia Enterprises SARL Pfizer Canada Inc., Licensee Pfizer Canada Inc. 2016 PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PrCAVERJECT STERILE POWDER (Alprostadil for Injection) Prostaglandin ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Alprostadil is a prostaglandin with various pharmacological actions that include vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation, inhibition of gastric secretion, stimulation of intestinal smooth muscle and stimulation of uterine smooth muscle. Alprostadil, when given to impotent men by intracavernous injection, induces erections within 5 to 20 minutes after administration. The duration of erection is dose-dependent. The mechanism of penile erection involves a complex series of neurovascular events. Alprostadil injected intracavernosally causes tumescence by increasing cavernous blood flow through relaxation of trabecular smooth muscle and dilation of cavernosal arteries. With regards to the action of alprostadil on penile structures, in most animal species tested, alprostadil had relaxant effects on retractor penis and corpus cavernosum urethrae in vitro. Alprostadil also relaxed isolated preparations of human corpus cavernosum and spongiosum as well as cavernous arterial segments previously contracted by either noradrenaline or PGF2α. In pigtail monkeys (Macaca nemestrina), alprostadil increased cavernous arterial blood flow in vivo. The degree and duration of cavernous smooth muscle relaxation in this animal model was dose-dependent. Other actions of PGE1 involve the cardiovascular system, central nervous system (CNS), autonomic nervous system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system and hematopoietic system. Pharmacokinetics Absorption The absolute bioavailability of alprostadil following intracavernosal injection has not been determined.

  • Pineal Region Tumors: Computed Tomographic-Pathologic Spectrum
    415 Pineal Region Tumors: Computed Tomographic-Pathologic Spectrum Nancy N. Futrell' While several computed tomographic (CT) studies of posterior third ventricular Anne G. Osborn' neoplasms have included descriptions of pineal tumors, few reports have concentrated Bruce D. Cheson 2 on these uncommon lesions. Some authors have asserted that the CT appearance of many pineal tumors is virtually pathognomonic. A series of nine biopsy-proved pineal gland and eight other presumed tumors is presented that illustrates their remarkable heterogeneity in both histopathologic and CT appearance. These tumors included germinomas, teratocarcinomas, hamartomas, and other varieties. They had variable margination, attenuation, calcification, and suprasellar extension. Germinomas have the best response to radiation therapy. Biopsy of pineal region tumors is now feasible and is recommended for treatment planning. Tumors of the pineal region account for less th an 2% of all intracrani al neoplasms [1]. While several reports of computed tomography (CT) of third ventricular neoplasms have in cluded an occasi onal pineal tumor [2 , 3], few have focused on the radiographic spectrum of th ese uncommon lesions [4]. Some authors have asserted that the CT appearance of many pineal tumors is virtuall y pathognomonic [5]. We studied a series of nine biopsy-proven pineal gland tumors that demonstrated remarkable heterogeneity in both histopath ologic and CT appearance. Materials and Methods A total of 17 pineal gland tumors were detected in 15,000 consecutive CT scans. Four patients were female and 13 were male. Mean age for the fe males was 27 years; for the males, 15 years. Initial symptoms ranged from headache, nausea, and vomiting, to Parinaud syndrome, vi sual field defects, diabetes insipidus, and hypopituitari sm (table 1).

We present one such patient, an adult male with two distinct tumors, that were excised by two different approaches. Relevant literature is briefly reviewed. Keywords: Brain tumor; Collision tumor; Craniopharyngioma; Pituitary tumor Introduction Simultaneous occurrence of morphological distinct, discreet intracranial tumors sharing the same cell lineage is a rarity. Pituitary tumors and craniopharyngiomas share a common lineage. Simultaneous occurrence of these two tumors in the same patient is rare and has been reported only nine times so far (Table 1). While pituitary tumours are centred in the sella, craniopharyngiomas may occur anywhere from the pituitary gland to the third ventricle.

NF1 patients are at risk to develop neurofibromas and other tumors, such as optic pathway gliomas and other tumors of the central nervous system. Few studies have investigated the impact of an additional diagnosis of brain tumor on the cognitive outcome of children with NF1, showing unclear results and without controlling by the effect of surgery, radio- or chemotherapy. In the present mono-institutional study, we compared the behavioral and cognitive outcomes of 26 children with neurofibromatosis alone (NF1) with two age-matched groups of 26 children diagnosed with NF1 and untreated optic pathway glioma (NF1 + OPG) and 19 children with NF1 and untreated other central nervous system tumors (NF1 + CT).
