Case Report: Cavitary Pneumonia In A 28 Year Old Male, Dan Zaayenga, Katelyn Courtney
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Cavitary pneumonia can be caused by several different mechanisms. Such causes include suppurative necrosis (pyogenic lung abscess), caseous necrosis (tuberculosis), ischemic necrosis (pulmonary infarction) cystic dilatation of lung structures (ball value obstruction and Pneumocystis pneumonia) as well as malignant processes. Causes are subject to both environmental factors and host susceptibility. The most common cause of infectious process is tuberculosis with its propensity to cause extensive caseous necrosis. The potential for secondary infection after an individual develops a cavitary pneumonia is also great as it provides a shelter for various pathogens the flourish in an environment otherwise usually well-guarded by host …

Hypercoagulable states leading to stroke, pulmonary embolism, and acute limb ischemia are well documented phenomena secondary to moderate-to-severe COVID-19 infections that produce significant respiratory morbidity.
Incidence is largely unknown with additional emerging clinical manifestations including, but not limited to: Viral and secondary bacterial pneumonia, respiratory failure, sepsis, stroke, acute kidney injury, pulmonary embolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), as well as arterial and venous thromboembolism.

Case Report: How A Vallecular Cyst Could Have Become An Airway Emergency, Adam Kandil, Robin Lahr, Andrew Caravello

Vallecular cysts, also known as epiglottic mucous retention cysts are known to be generally self-limiting laryngeal lesion. They can however also be associated with airway obstruction, and dysphagia in infants. In adults, they are usually asymptomatic, and usually incidentally diagnosed. At times they are diagnosed during rapid sequence intubation, as they may contribute to endotracheal intubation difficulty. Moreover, there is question as to the correlation between vallecular cysts and the incidence of acute epiglottitis, as a vallecular cyst may become infected and cause a localized expansion of inflammation and infection. This expansion from the vallecula progresses to epiglottis.

Lung Hernia: An Uncommon Cause Of Pleuritic Chest Pain, Brittany Fera
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Lung hernia is a rare but important consideration in the differential diagnosis of chest pain in patients with recent thoracic trauma or a history of thoracic surgery. Patients who undergo an anterior approach to thoracotomy, as was the case with our patient, are at a higher risk for developing lung herniation as a result of inherent anatomical weakness and wider intercostal spaces anteriorly and inferiorly.

The Utility Of An Inpatient Consult For Paradoxical Vocal Fold Motion, Pankti P. Acharya, Jason Cohn
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM) is vocal fold adduction during inspiration
Patients often present with dyspnea, throat tightness, and cough
Common risk factors that predispose patients to PVFM include gastroesophageal reflux disease, psychiatric disease, chronic cough, airway irritation, and female gender
This study was conducted to identify possible risk factors and associated conditions for PVFM; additionally, a novel scoring system was developed to aid in diagnosis of PVFM

Cpap And Epistaxis: Is There A Connection In Osa Patients?, Aesha Patel
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has become a standard form of therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). There are reports of patients suffering from episodes of epistaxis within the initial few weeks of starting CPAP therapy, believed to be due to the high flow rate of air during use, nasal CPAP purportedly dries the nasal mucosa, leading to an increased risk of scabbing, ulceration, and ultimately epistaxis. This study seeks to analyze whether epistaxis is common in patients following CPAP initiation and then compare this rate of epistaxis amongst OSA patients that received upper airway stimulation (UAS) …
