After treating a 9-month-old patient with unusual, delayed symptoms, Hurley ER physician Ryan Reece MD partnered with resident physician Morsi Rayyan MD to publish a case report on the late presentation of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). Their research highlights that while CDH typically presents in neonatals, it can also appear later in pediatric patients, particularly those with recurring respiratory issues who don't respond to standard treatments. Although it has been uncommon for CDH to affect older patients, the authors argue that it is important to consider CDH as a possibility.
Overall, Hurley staff authored 22 new publications in the second quarter of 2025, including a deep dive into the cost of academic engagement in neurosurgery.
