Case Report: A Case Of Coccidiomycosis Confounding A Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Diagnosis, Lily Chen
Medicine Research Day
Lily Chen, Sidney Mejia, Lydia Rewers and Seema Walvekar Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosis is a rare autoimmune disease with prevalence of 20-150 cases per 100,000 in the United States. Despite increased awareness among physicians and improvements in serologic testing, the time to diagnosis from symptom onset is still delayed for many patients, with one study estimating the average time to diagnosis of 6 years. One significant cause of diagnostic delay is due to the heterogeneity in the disease presentation, with symptoms that can present similarly to many other autoimmune, infectious, or hematologic diseases. Many of the symptoms of SLE are …

A Hand In Madness: Psychiatric Effects Of Lead Toxicity, Bryce Arata
Medicine Research Day
Extreme amounts of lead in the body can decouple a person’s mind from their experience of reality in the form of psychosis. While the incidence of lead-induced psychosis has declined significantly in the last several decades due to public health measures, it is a treatable cause of psychosis with an otherwise high morbidity. A 38-year-old male presents to the hospital at the request of his infectious disease physician who found the patient to have critical blood levels of lead. His past history includes ten gunshot wounds sustained at 26 years-old which resulted in a large amount of retained ballistic fragments. …

Gabapentin To Cyclobenzaprine: A Case Of Acute Reversible Iatrogenic Psychosis Influenced By Schedule V Classifications, Grant Collins
Gabapentin To Cyclobenzaprine: A Case Of Acute Reversible Iatrogenic Psychosis Influenced By Schedule V Classifications, Grant Collins
Medicine Research Day
Clinical guidelines within psychiatric therapeutics continuously evolve, leading to varying exposure of specific population subgroups to particular therapeutic classes of medication. Such shifts are crucial, as these subgroups might be more susceptible to adverse reactions not common in the broader population. One pertinent example of this occurrence is the classification of Gabapentin as a Schedule V drug such as in Kentucky; which will likely lead to increased prescription rates of alternatives such as cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril®) in subgroups prone to recreational drug use. We present a case of a young incarcerated individual who developed acute mania after switching from gabapentin to …
Chronic Osteomyelitis Predictors With Pattern Of Care And Health Services, Thuc Truong
Chronic Osteomyelitis Predictors With Pattern Of Care And Health Services, Thuc Truong
Medicine Research Day
Background: Chronic osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone presenting at a point in time after an acute injury or trauma. The infection may occur due to a multitude of reasons, but a couple would be open wounds or biofilms created by pathogens on implanted hardware. Commensal staphylococci are the most common cause of osteomyelitis1 . Management of chronic osteomyelitis can either be surgical with irrigation and debridement, a course of antibiotics ranging from four to six weeks, or a combination of both2 . Chronic osteomyelitis can complicate the healing process, but also place a burden on the patient if …

GLP-1 Agonists and Gastroparesis: Ozempic Initiation in a Case of Chronic GI Issues
Landon Krone, BS; Lara Boudreaux, MD; Catherine Hudson, MD Louisiana State University Section of Gastroenterology
Gastroparesis is a chronic disorder involving delayed emptying of the stomach after a meal. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, belching, bloating, and early satiety. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists function like the incretin hormone GLP-1 that is released into the intestine after consumption of food. GLP-1 agonists can serve as pharmacologic agents to treat type 2 diabetes, as they increase insulin sensitivity, decrease glucagon secretion, and slow gastric emptying. At this time, there …
