oma was influenced by being young and living in urban areas.The main modifiers of glaucoma awareness and knowledge were education and previous eye examination, but awareness had additional factor of area of residence. Perceived risk of glaucoma was influenced by being young and living in urban areas. Sexual harassment of physicians by patients is highly prevalent and rarely reported. Little is known on how to prepare physicians to handle verbal sexual harassment that detracts from their ability to provide care but does not meet the threshold for reporting. To assess the impact of a sexual harassment workshop and toolkit for ophthalmologists and ophthalmology trainees on responding to patient-initiated verbal sexual harassment. A survey study of ophthalmology faculty, fellows, and residents who participated in workshops on responding to patient-initiated verbal sexual harassment was performed at an academic center. A toolkit of strategies for response was distributed. Volunteer participants completed a retrospective pretest-posttest evaluation at the conclusion of the workshop and follow-up survey 3 weeks after the workshops on whether they experienced harassment and intervened. The pretest-posttest surveys assessed the workshop's effect on ophthalmologists' perceptions of and preparedness to respond8) or observed (n=13) harassment (n=15) following the workshop intervened. All participants who intervened toward patient-initiated harassment behavior after the workshop (n=10) found the Sexual Harassment Toolkit helpful in addressing harassment in the moment. Participation in a brief skills-based workshop significantly improved ophthalmologists' preparedness to respond to verbal sexual harassment by patients.Participation in a brief skills-based workshop significantly improved ophthalmologists' preparedness to respond to verbal sexual harassment by patients. The purpose of this study is to identify perioperative independent prognostic factors that are available to the consulting team to aid in determining prognosis in patients with acute invasive fungal sinusitis. Retrospective chart review of patients with biopsy-proven acute invasive fungal sinusitis from 2015 to 2018. Academic tertiary care center. Twenty-one patients were included from our single-center retrospective review. Kaplan-Meier graphs were created, and the Breslow test used to compare the curves to obtain values. Amprenavir A univariate Cox regression analysis was performed on the data that were significant at 3 months from diagnosis. Twenty-one patients were included, and 17 (76%) had an underlying hematologic malignancy. Overall survival was 71% and 52% at 1 and 3 months, respectively, and 94% of patients with hematologic malignancy had an absolute neutrophil count ≤1 at diagnosis. Absolute neutrophil count values and fungal species were not associated with a difference in prognosis. Factors associated with decreased survival included current smoking and the absence of a rhinologist on the treatment team at the initial or subsequent debridement (hazard ratio, 3.03). Laboratory values such as beta-D-glucan and galactomannan were assessed in addition to disease extension at diagnosis. This study presents a retrospective review of a single institution's experience with acute invasive fungal sinusitis. Subspecialty level of care likely improves overall survival in these patients, whereas current smoking may imply a worse prognosis.This study presents a retrospective review of a single institution's experience with acute invasive fungal sinusitis.

Patients consider many factors when deciding how to receive medical care. This study used best-worst scaling (BWS), a technique novel to otolaryngology, to quantitatively examine preferences among patients choosing a laryngologist. Our objective was to quantify in a pilot cohort the relative importance patients place on a variety of attributes when seeking a laryngologist. BWS survey. Academic voice clinic. New patients were recruited to take a computerized BWS survey developed using attributes derived from patient input, expert opinion, and literature review. Attributes were grouped into 4 categories physician reputation, physician qualifications, hospital-related factors, and other nonclinical factors. Responses were analyzed using multinomial logit regression to determine importance scores and associations with other variables. Eighty-seven of 93 patients recruited participated (93.5% response rate). Physician qualifications were the most important attributes to patients, with specialty laryngolorence methodologies can elucidate underlying preferences and help providers make care more patient centered. To compare financial impact between patients undergoing ambulatory (same-day discharge) vs overnight admission after total thyroidectomy while showing associated surgical outcomes. Retrospective review. University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center from October 2011 and July 2017. Patients undergoing total thyroidectomy without concurrent procedures were selected for review. Demographics, comorbidities, admission status, postoperative outcomes including minor and major complications, charges, and costs were collected. Admission status was categorized as inpatient (admission to hospital ≥1 night) or outpatient (discharged from the postoperative recovery unit). Costs were obtained from all related hospital, clinic, and emergency department visits at the University of Alabama at Birmingham within 30 days of the original surgery. After statistical analysis, outcomes and costs were compared between inpatient and outpatient total thyroidectomy patients. Of 870 total thyroidectomy patients included for analysis, 367 (42.2%) met outpatient criteria. A total of 169 patients (19.4%) had a complication, and only hypocalcemia occurred significantly more in the inpatient group (14.3% vs 9.26%; < .05). No complications occurred more frequently in the outpatient population. There were no mortalities. There was a statistically significant difference between the total cost of inpatient and outpatient thyroidectomies, with outpatient surgery costing on average $2367.27 less per patient ( < .0001). Outpatient total thyroidectomy can lead to cost reduction in highly selected patients who have few comorbidities while remaining safe for the patient.Outpatient total thyroidectomy can lead to cost reduction in highly selected patients who have few comorbidities while remaining safe for the patient.
