Zoom TeachZoom Teaching: Moving Beyond PowerPoint Watch "Zoom Teaching: Moving Beyond PowerPoint," presented by Jennifer Spicer, MD, MPH, assistant professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases. Spicer discusses best practices for creating an interactive teaching session while using Zoom. How to... Twitter ChatWhat are Twitter chats? Twitter chats are scheduled, recurring conversations usually hosted at the same time weekly or monthly by the same accounts. A key component is that they always happen at the same time. Each chat is designated by its own hashtag and often features a single broad topic which is narrowed down further to a sub-topic the day of the chat. Twitter chats are an excellent way to engage in worldwide conversation with other clinicians, educators, and researchers on a particular topic. A great way to quickly find Twitter chats is by following communities that are interesting to you. For example, #WomenInMedicine, #WIMChat, #MedHumChat (for humanism in medicine), #MedEdChat, #SoMeDocs (social media doctors) are a few examples you could peruse. For more information, click here.

Case of the MonthMonthly Cases from the Paul W. Seavey Comprehensive Internal Medicine Clinic and the Emory Special Diagnostic Services Clinic Diagnostic Clinic Medical Director W. Clyde Partin, MD "A Man Past Middle Age Experiencing Testicular Pain" Submitted by: At 3:12 PM a patient message arrived for me via the portal. At 5:10 PM I opened the message and reviewed the patient’s complaint of right testicular and groin pain, which had been gradually escalating over two hours. Immediately I called him and he advised me that he was on his way to the emergency room, a plan of action which I endorsed. The patient was a 59 year-old attorney with a history of Gleason 6 prostate cancer treated by prostatectomy eleven years prior. He had a remote history of appendectomy and bilateral inguinal hernia repair. The patient had no fever, systemic symptoms, or urinary complaints. The emergency room physician elicited a history of right flank and groin pain progressive over the afternoon, and a two month history of intermittent right testicular pain. A normal abdominal exam and a firm, tender right testicle were described. Concern for torsion prompted a scrotal ultrasound. At 6:27 PM, the radiologist reported two intratesticular masses were visible on the ultrasound, 3.3 x 3.1 x 2.6 cm and a satellite lesion 1.3 x 1.3 x 1.1 cm in size. The patient was taken to the operating room where he underwent a right radical orchiectomy that was completed at 8:53 PM. What was the diagnosis?
