Feb. 26— PA faculty co-authors report in national journal
Emily Thatcher, an assistant professor in the physician assistant program at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, co-authored “Urologic Emergencies: Five Do-Not-Miss Diagnoses” in Physician Assistant Clinics. The authors discuss five urologic emergencies, including acute urinary retention, Fournier’s gangrene, testicular torsion, priapism and paraphimosis. They conclude that while many urologic conditions do not lead to significant long-term morbidity or mortality, clinicians should consider emergent conditions in their differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with acute symptoms. The journal aims to provide an authoritative and continuously updated clinical information resource that covers all relevant PA specialties.
