    Abstract In the summer of 1881, Robert Justus Kleberg rode across the hot, dusty South Texas brush country to the palatial home of Capt. Richard King to consult with the cattle baron about attending to his legal affairs. On that same journey, the young lawyer also first laid eyes on Alice King, "Princess of the Wild Horse Desert." Neither of their lives would ever be the same. Published for the first time in this book, the love letters written by Kleberg to Alice Gertrudis King provide a glimpse of the lives of two of the most influential people in Texas history. Editors Jane Clements Monday and Fran

    Abstract Objectives: People with Parkinson's disease (PwP) have a high palliative symptom burden throughout their disease course, equivalent to advanced malignancy. We aim to establish trends in symptom frequency and prescribing in the 72 hours prior to death for PwP.
    Methods: Retrospective case note review of PwP who died between February 2019 and September 2020.
    Results: 51 patients were included. 60.78% of patients (n=31) had agitation and 58.82% (n=30) had pain in the final 72 hours. Patients with cognitive impairment were 4.67 times more likely to experience agitation (p=0.035) compared with those without, with higher total midazolam doses (29.18 mg vs 11.4 mg, p=0.21). Terminal motor symptoms were recorded in three patients. 28.57% of patients received the recommended dose of rotigotine for dopaminergic therapy.
    Conclusions: PwP have a significant symptom burden at the end of life (EOL) with levels of terminal agitation at the higher end of those expected in the general population. There was a trend towards higher doses of sedation, rather than analgesia, in people with coexistent cognitive impairment.Terminal stiffness, despite being seldom documented in the literature, is an important although infrequent symptom.Rotigotine use at EOL remains commonplace and better understanding of its effect and dosing is required.

    Abstract Congenital lung malformations (CLMs) are commonly diagnosed prenatal lesions with varied natural history. Prenatal diagnosis and monitoring help to guide fetal interventions, delivery planning, and need for urgent perinatal surgical interventions. All prenatally diagnosed CLMs should be evaluated postnatally, typically with cross-sectional imaging, because many lesions persist despite the appearance of complete 'regression' in utero. Management of CLMs in asymptomatic infants weighs the surgical and anesthetic risk of prophylactic resection against the risk of expectant management, including the possibility of infection, malignant degeneration, and more complicated surgical resection later with loss of compensatory lung growth.

    Abstract Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a life-threatening, prenatally diagnosed congenital anomaly. We aim to characterize care and outcomes of infants with CDH in Texas and the impact of treating facilities volume of care.
    Methods: Retrospective cohort study using a state-wide Hospital Inpatient Discharge Public Use Data File was conducted (2013-2021). Neonates and infants <1 year of age were included using CDH ICD-9/ICD-10 codes. Neonates transferred to an outside hospital were excluded to avoid double-counting. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and logistic regression analysis were performed.
    Results: Of 1314 CDH patient encounters identified, 728 (55%) occurred at 5 higher volume centers (HVC, >75 cases), 326 (25%) at 9 mid-volume centers (MVC, 20-75 cases) and 268 (20%) at 79 low volume centers (LVC, <20 cases). HVC had lower mortality rates (18%, MVC 22% vs LVC 27%; p = 0.011) despite treating sicker patients (extreme illness severity: HVC 71%, MVC 62% vs LVC 50%; p < 0.001) with longer length-of-stay (p < 0.001). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in 136 (10%) and provided primarily at HVC. LVC treated proportionately more non-white Hispanic patients (p < 0.001) and patients from counties along the Mexican border (p < 0.001). The predicted probability of mortality in CDH patients decreases with higher treatment facility CDH case volume, with a 0.5% decrease in the odds of mortality for every additional CDH case treated (p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Patients treated in HVC have significantly lower mortality despite increased severity. Our data suggest minority populations may be disproportionately treated at LVC associated with worse outcomes.
    Type of study: Retrospective Prognosis Study.
    Level of evidence: Level II.

    Abstract Background: National commercial surveys are used to assess patient satisfaction. However, the information obtained does not always correspond to the clinical situation and therefore may be inadequate to help improve a specific patient experience when through no fault of its design, results in low response rates and inadequate specifics.
    Objective: The objective is to investigate patient satisfaction using real-time in-person patient experience survey responses at the end of a neurosurgical clinic visit and review the results from these survey responses and those from national commercial survey responses provided by the hospital for the ability to affect change.
    Methods: This is a prospective study from October 2023 to December 2023 during which a paper copy of 10 questionnaires derived from a national commercial outpatient clinical survey was given to every unique patient who was neurologically capable of filling it out at the end of his or her neurosurgery clinic visit. The electronic medical record was used to collect patient demographics and details of the clinic visit. National commercial survey responses from July 2022 to November 2023 provided by the hospital were reviewed.
    Results: A total of 149 patients were seen in the neurosurgery clinic from October 2023 to December 2023, 121 patients were given the in-person patient satisfaction survey, and the response rate was 100%. The mean age was 46.5 years with females constituted 45.5% of the patient sample. The visit type included 46 (38.0%) new patients, 53 (43.8%) returning patients, and 22 (18.2%) post-op patients, of which 45.5% presented with cranial pathologies. Comparing the patient satisfaction level between those seen by one provider and those seen by two providers, such as resident, or mid-level with attending, patients seen by two providers were less satisfied with "feeling respected by the providers" (4.92 vs. 4.64, p=0.0088), "feeling listened to by the providers" (4.84 vs. 4.50, p=0.0180), and "feeling appreciated that the providers discussed illness prevention" (4.72 vs. 4.29, p=0.0232). Due to a lack of necessary information from our national commercial outpatient clinic survey responses provided by the hospital, a direct comparison between the in-person survey and our national commercial outpatient clinic survey was not made.
    Conclusions: Patient satisfaction surveys when not given in real-time in-person run the risk of low response rate and lack of specifics to help guide providers in quality improvement. Our data supports the use of real-time in-person patient satisfaction surveys that not only increase response rate but also provide useful information to help improve patient experience.

    Abstract Abstract: Docking protein 7 (DOK7) congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is characterized by limb-girdle weakness and lack of fluctuating fatigability simulating many familial myopathies. Albuterol is the first line of therapy in view of consistent improvement. Two brothers with progressive predominant biceps weakness for 1-3 years responded to prednisone treatment for 40-50 years. Various studies including muscle biopsy and many laboratory studies were unsuccessful for the definite diagnosis. Gene study, 40 years after the initial evaluation, confirmed the diagnosis of DOK7 CMS. These are the first reported cases of DOK7 CMS associated with a sustained benefit from corticosteroids.

    Abstract Liver fatty acid binding protein (FABP1) binds diverse endogenous lipids and is highly expressed in the human liver. Binding to FABP1 alters the metabolism and homeostasis of endogenous lipids in the liver. Drugs have also been shown to bind to rat FABP1, but limited data is available for human FABP1 (hFABP1). FABP1 has a large binding pocket and up to two fatty acids can bind to FABP1 simultaneously. We hypothesized that drug binding to hFABP1 results in formation of ternary complexes and that FABP1 binding alters drug metabolism. To test these hypotheses, native protein mass spectrometry (MS) and fluorescent 11-(dansylamino)undecanoic acid (DAUDA) displacement assays were used to characterize drug binding to hFABP1, and diclofenac oxidation by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) was studied in the presence and absence of hFABP1.
