The Use of Ultrasound in Palliative Care and Hospice

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine® (2016)

Betty Chernack Sasha E. Knowlton Minna J. Kohler

Palliative care aims to reduce symptom burden and enhance quality of life for those with terminal disease. Ultrasound has become an increasingly popular diagnostic and therapeutic modality due to its low cost, ease of portability, safety, and good patient acceptance. A review of the literature to date shows that as a diagnostic tool, as a therapeutic modality, and as a tool to accurately guide palliative procedures, ultrasound can have many roles in palliative care and hospice. Based on our clinical experience, musculoskeletal ultrasound can be of benefit to patients with terminal disease. Examples include adhesive capsulitis in advanced neurologic disease and chronic osteomyelitis in a patient with metastatic colon cancer. Ideally, further studies investigating the use of ultrasound in the palliative care population will be conducted in the future to enhance the availability of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of this particular modality.

Top Ten Tips Palliative Care Clinicians Should Know About Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Journal of Palliative Medicine (2019)

Michelle E. Brassil Andrea Cheville Jasmine Zheng Sean R. Smith Dorothy W. Tolchin

Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) is a specialty of medicine focused on optimizing function and quality of life for individuals with physical impairments, injuries, or disabling illnesses. Given the sometimes acute nature of the loss of function and even loss of independence, there are significant palliative care (PC) needs within patients seen by PM&R. This article, written by a team of PM&R and PC specialists, aims to help the PC team better understand the world of postacute care, expand their toolkit for treating musculoskeletal and neurological symptoms, improve prognostication for patients with brain and spinal cord injuries, and decide when patients may benefit from PM&R consultation and support. There is significant overlap between the populations treated by PM&R and PC. Better integration between these specialties will help patients to maintain independence as well as advance excellent patient-centered care.

National Trends in the Use of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy With or Without Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

Circulation (2015)

Charlotta Lindvall Neal A. Chatterjee Yuchiao Chang Betty Chernack Vicki A. Jackson

Candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) receive either a biventricular pacemaker or a biventricular pacemaker with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (CRT-D). Optimal device selection remains challenging because the benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy may not be uniform, particularly in patients at competing risk of nonsudden death.

Predicting Heterotopic Ossification Early After Burn Injuries

Annals of Surgery (2016)

Jeffrey C. Schneider L C Simko Richard Goldstein Vivian L. Shie Betty Chernack

The purpose of this study is to develop a scoring system that stratifies burn patients at the time of hospital admission according to risk of developing heterotopic ossification (HO).
