    Abstract A patient with probable Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (CJD) who was previously a high-functioning financial analyst remains fiercely independent despite her family's concerns about her safety. As a trainee with limited experience in leading these difficult conversations, this neurology resident describes her experience reconciling the viewpoints of herself, the patient, and her family. She reflects on the ability to reframe this delicate conversation from one of loss of independence in a patient with a rapidly progressive, neurodegenerative condition to one of safety, security, and the care of her family.

    Abstract Nocardia can cause systemic infections with varying manifestations. Resistance patterns vary by species. We describe N. otitidiscavarium infection with pulmonary and cutaneous manifestations in a man in the United States. He received multidrug treatment that included trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole but died. Our case highlights the need to treat with combination therapy until drug susceptibilities are known.

    Abstract The recent therapeutic advances in the field of neurology highlight the importance of ongoing clinical trials. However, while clinical research in neurology has remained relatively stable over the past 10 years, there has been an interval decrease in neuroscience applicants for NIH funding, which has raised concerns about the pipeline and future of clinical research in neurology. Those interested in such a career can begin by identifying a preclinical neuroscience advance that has yet to be translated into clinical trial work or a clinical area of need based on conversations with patients and families. Once such an area of interest is identified, seeking mentors either at one's own local institution or through networking at conferences is important in developing the necessary skills pertaining to clinical trial conduct and design and in gaining access to the relevant professional networks. There is also a myriad of training opportunities, such as the NINDS Clinical Trials Methodology Course, Masters of Science in Clinical Research, and certificate programs that offer formal training. Additional considerations for advancing in this career include exploring the potential for secondary publications using data available from previous clinical trials or serving as a subinvestigator. Challenges in pursuing such a career include the relatively low rate of positive outcomes compared with other fields and consistent salary support throughout one's career. Overall, a career as a clinical trialist in neurology is rewarding because one is able to participate in advancing the field and offer potentially new treatments to their patients.

    Abstract The goal of this work is to compare the outcome of a design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) heuristics lesson conducted in a virtual learning environment to the same in an in-person learning environment. Prior work revealed that receiving DfAM heuristics at different points in the design process impacts the quality and novelty of designs produced afterward, but this work may have been limited by the solely virtual format. In this work, an identical experiment was performed in a face-to-face learning environment. Results indicate that neither learning format presents an advantage over the other when it comes to the quality of designs produced during the intervention. Participants across all experimental groups reported an increase in self-efficacy after the intervention, with improved performance on quiz-type questions. However, the novelty and variety of the designs produced by the in-person experimental groups were significantly lower than that of the virtual experimental groups. In addition to validating the effectiveness of virtual instruction as a teaching method, these results also support the authors' hypothesis that the priming effect is stronger in an in-person classroom than in a virtual classroom.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Clinical documentation of patient acuity is a major determinant of payer reimbursement. This project aimed to improve case mix index (CMI) by incorporating a novel electronic health record (EHR) discharge documentation tool into the inpatient general neurology service at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center.
    Methods: We used data from Vizient AMC Hospital: Risk Model Summary for Clinical Data Base (CBD) 2017 to create a discharge diagnosis documentation tool consisting of dropdown menus to better capture relevant secondary diagnoses and comorbidities. After implementation of this tool, we compared pre- (July 2017-June 2019) and post-intervention (July 2019-June 2021) time periods on mean expected length of stay (LOS) and mean CMI with two sample T-tests and the percentage of encounters classified as having Major Complications/Comorbidities (MCC), with Complication/Comorbidity (CC), and without CC/MCC with tests of proportions.
    Results: Mean CMI increased significantly from 1.2 pre-intervention to 1.4 post-intervention implementation (
    Conclusions: This pilot study describes the creation of an innovative EHR discharge diagnosis documentation tool in collaboration with neurology healthcare providers, the clinical documentation improvement team, and neuro-informaticists. This novel discharge diagnosis documentation tool demonstrates promise in increasing CMI, shifting diagnosis related groups to a greater proportion of those with MCC, and improving the quality of clinical documentation.

    Abstract The study of rare genetic diseases provides valuable insights into human gene function. The autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive forms of Robinow syndrome are genetically heterogeneous, and the common theme is that all the mutations lie in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. Cases diagnosed with Robinow syndrome do survive to adulthood with distinct skeletal phenotypes, including limb shortening and craniofacial abnormalities. Here, we focus on mutations in dishevelled 1 (DVL1), an intracellular adaptor protein that is required for both canonical (β-catenin-dependent) or non-canonical (requiring small GTPases and JNK) Wnt signaling. We expressed human wild-type DVL1 or DVL1 variants alongside the endogenous genome of chicken and Drosophila. This design is strategically suited to test for functional differences between mutant and wild-type human proteins in relevant developmental contexts. The expression of variant forms of DVL1 produced a major disorganization of cartilage and Drosophila wing morphology compared to expression of wild-type DVL1. Moreover, the variants caused a loss of canonical and gain of non-canonical Wnt signaling in several assays. Our data point to future therapies that might correct the levels of Wnt signaling, thus improving skeletal growth.
