I am an incoming vascular surgery resident at Ascension Providence Hospital, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. I completed my medical degree at John P. and Katherine G. McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston.
Outside of work, I am happily married to my wife, Rukaiya, and we like to spend our time with our family & friends, playing board games, watching movies, or enjoying good meals.
Food insecurity has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Our project’s objective is to quantify the effect of living in a food desert on surgical outcomes. We hope to determine key markers for this risk factor and evaluate their modifiability to guide clinical decision-making and improve outcomes.
VIEW PROJECTUsing our single-center experience at the University of Texas at Houston we conducted a retrospective analysis of the evolving management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA) over the past two decades.
VIEW PROJECTErgonomics is an oft-forgotten component of surgical practice that has major implications for the surgical profession. It has career-long effects and poor ergonomics can contribute to musculoskeletal injuries and/or early retirement. We conducted a review of the subject in the context of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. Furthermore, we developed a novel “workout routine” made for surgeons.
VIEW PROJECTVascular trauma in the upper extremity is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Given that there is significant variance in the management of these injuries among different centers, we sought to utilize our high-volume center to analyze management patterns and outcomes to better inform clinical guidelines.
VIEW PROJECTThis integrin, also known as cluster of differentiation molecule 11b (CD11b), and complement receptor 3 (CR3), is heavily involved in the extravasation of leukocytes and phagocytosis of opsonized molecules, making it an interesting target for pharmaceutical therapies.
