1. Mason, C.L., Alexander, M.E., Morris, R.F., and Calimaran, A.L. Diagnosis of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Prompted by “Smart” Watch. 2021 Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology Annual Meeting, May 2021.
   
   “Smart” watches are growing in popularity and an evolving area of interest to the medical community. Their biosensor technology and wireless data communication present opportunities for their clinical use. Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a rare yet significant form of reversible dilated cardiomyopathy, is a leading cause of maternal death in the U.S. Anesthesiologists may encounter PPCM when caring for obstetrical patients. This report describes the first case of PPCM wherein initial suspicion was prompted by tachycardia detected via the patient’s “smart” watch.

A Systematic Narrative Review of Skin Cancer Educational Interventions for Non-Medical Skin Care Professionals. Brigham and Women’s Hospital Dermatology Medical Student Virtual Research Symposium, May, 2021.
   
   The aim of this study was to systematically review skin cancer educational interventions for non-medical skin care professionals and assess the efficacy of these interventions in improving knowledge and practices related to skin cancer prevention. 

2. Harrigill, M., Pearlman, R.L., Black, W.H., Davis, R.E., Ford, M.A., Brodell, R.T., and Nahar, V.K.Utility of Health Belief Model (HBM) to Predict Sun Protection Behaviors among Patients with Keratinocyte Carcinoma. Brigham and Women’s Hospital Dermatology Medical Student Virtual Research Symposium, May, 2021.
   
   The aim of this study was to test the utility of the Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs (i.e., perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy) in predicting SPBs among patients diagnosed with Keratinocyte Carcinoma.

3. Hong, J., Nahar, V.K., Kolatorowicz, A., and Gassler, J. (2021). Anatomic and Morphometric Differences Between Sexes in the Calcaneonavicular (Spring) Ligament. American Association of Clinical Anatomists, Annual Meeting, June-July, 2021.
   
   The purpose of this study is to compare the anatomy of the spring ligament of males to females for variations in morphology: length, width, and thickness. 

4. Morris, R.W., Chaudry, J.R., Stronach, B.M., Reed, C.D., Becker, B.P. (2021, March 13-17). Hip bone connected to the back bone: Spinopelvic measurements in hip arthroplasty imaging [Poster session]. Society of Skeletal Radiology 44th Annual Scientific Meeting (virtual). https://skeletalrad.org/ssr-2021-virtual-annual-meeting
   
   The relationship between the spine, pelvis and hip has become increasingly recognized as an important cause of hip arthroplasty complications, including dislocation. This spinopelvic relationship has become an important topic in orthopedics, with an eye toward understanding and preventing these complications. Here we provide an overview of the spinopelvic relationship, along with its various measurements and their application to imaging of the hip arthroplasty patient.

5. Morris, R.W., Nutter, K.M., Kennedy, D.P., Weatherly, B.B., Carson, J.D. (2021, April 18-22). Coming full circle: Enhancing evaluation of the rotator cuff and labrum using a radial MRI sequence [Poster session]. American Roentgen Ray Society 2021 Annual Meeting (virtual). https://arrs.org/MeetingPortal21
   
   Imaging of the shoulder using a sequence obtained in a radial fashion can help to better visualize the rotator cuff tendons along their course, and particularly at their insertions where most tears occur. The imaging plane is rotated around a point in the center of the humeral head, creating images that are largely parallel to the long axis of the rotator cuff at all imaging points. Similarly, the radially acquired images are optimally oriented to obtain true cross-sectional images of the glenoid labrum, which is instead primarily sectioned obliquely on conventional images. In addition to providing an enhanced evaluation of the rotator cuff and labrum, the radial sequence can also be valuable in education, helping trainees to better visualize and understand pathology of the shoulder.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital Dermatology Medical Student Virtual Research Symposium, May, 2021.
   
   This article reviews the challenges in managing Atopic Dermatitis that are targeted by psychological and educational strategies and discusses the impact of behavioral theories in chronic disease.

8. Preda-Naumescu, A., Pearlman, R. L., Inguva, S., Bhattacharya, K., Cobb, E. K., Melton, S.C., and Nahar, V.K.Medical Comorbidities, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Psychological Distress among Diabetics with Dermatological Conditions. Brigham and Women’s Hospital Dermatology Medical Student Virtual Research Symposium, May, 2021.
   
   This study assessed the prevalence of comorbid conditions in Diabetics Without current Dermatological Conditions (DWDC) versus Diabetics with any Dermatological Conditions (DDC). The effects of dermatological conditions on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological distress were compared between these two patient groups.
