Telepsychiatry For Substance Use Disorders: Evolution From Rapid Covid-19 Pandemic Adoption To Sustainable Integration, Jack Wang

Marshall Journal of Medicine

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, telepsychiatry for substance use disorder (SUD) management was generally an underutilized modality, mainly due to regulatory constraints. Through the pandemic, governmental deregulations rapidly and massively expanded their adoption, bringing out their significant potential to expand access, overcome barriers, and mitigate stigma for individuals seeking addiction care, particularly for rural and underserved populations. This narrative review consolidates the recent research on the growing adoption of telepsychiatry in the management of SUDs. It aims to explore the evidence-based benefits, identify common challenges, and underscore key considerations for its effective and equitable integration into SUD treatment …

Lyme Disease Presenting As A Dermal Hypersensitivity Reaction, William T. Snider, Ian Depew, Rebecca Hicks, Shane Cook

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Background:

Lyme disease is a well-recognized illness commonly associated with skin manifestations such as erythema migrans. However, atypical presentations can complicate diagnosis, particularly when they deviate from classic clinical and histological findings.

Methods:

We report a potential case of Lyme disease presenting as a dermal hypersensitivity reaction (DHR), with clinical findings resembling urticaria rather than urticarial vasculitis. Skin biopsy findings were reviewed, and Lyme serology testing was performed.

Results:

The biopsy did not demonstrate the characteristic superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate typically seen with erythema migrans. The patient's history included prior tick exposures, but while Lyme IgM was positive, the Lyme …

Diagnosis And Surgical Management Of Lymphoproliferative Unicentric Castleman Disease, Kristen E. Bowman, Jonathan Evans, Yancy Short, David Webb

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Castleman Disease (CD) describes a group of complex lymphoproliferative disorders that share common histopathological features. Classification largely centers around the number of affected lymph nodes and the presence or absence of Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Unicentric CD (UCD) is estimated to make up 40% of all CD cases with the remaining 60% being multicentric CD (MCD), involving several regions of the body and increasing concern for HHV-8 involvement. While UCD is often discovered through incidental imaging or routine examination, swift confirmation via pathological diagnostics can often lead to a cure through simple resection. Presented here is the case of a …

Diagnosis Of Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon In A Newborn, Kiersten Ricci, Sara Basala, Edward Raykhelson, Aaron Mcguffin

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon (KMP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening coagulopathy that has high bleeding risk and is characterized by severe thrombocytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia. Timely diagnosis and intervention are essential, as untreated kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) or tufted angioma (TA) associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) can result in significant morbidity and mortality..

We report a case of a full-term female neonate who was noted to have a large vascular scalp mass at birth. The tumor was initially misidentified as an infantile and a congenital hemangioma. Upon specialty evaluation at a vascular anomaly center and additional diagnostics, the child was diagnosed with KHE …

Configuring Terminal Access To Non-Terrestrial Networks During Emergencies Through Broadcasted Authorization Data, Jean-Philippe Cormier, Pavan Nuggehalli

Defensive Publications Series

During events such as emergencies or terrestrial network outages, non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) may need to provide temporary access to specific, non-subscribed user equipment (UEs), such as smartphones or other computing devices, while managing potential network overload. This disclosure describes a method for dynamic and selective access control. An NTN can broadcast authorization data, for example a list of allowed international mobile subscriber identity ranges or an access probability threshold, using a broadcast mechanism such as evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services or a configuration channel like TS.43. On a device, a specialized application can receive this information. If the UE is …

Evaluating The Acoustic Seal Of An In-Ear Device By Analyzing Speaker Driver Electrical Impedance, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Some methods for detecting air leakage in an in-ear device, such as an earbud, may utilize in-ear microphones, which can be affected by factors including occlusion, ambient noise interference, and performance variations. This disclosure details a system for assessing acoustic seal integrity by measuring the electrical impedance of the device's microspeaker. By using a headphone amplifier that may include current/voltage sensing capabilities, the system can dynamically characterize the speaker's impedance and track its resonance frequency (Fo). The acoustic load of a sealed ear canal can be reflected in the speaker's electrical impedance, where air leakage may cause a measurable shift. …

Adaptive Satellite Modem Management Based On User And Device Context For Power Optimization, Shailesh Maheshwari, Sat K, Sooraj Sasindran, Chinmay Dhodapkar

Defensive Publications Series

Inconsistent satellite service coverage for mobile devices, such as a smartphone or wearable device, may cause increased power consumption as a modem repeatedly searches for a stable signal, particularly in locations with compromised reception. A method is described for managing power usage by controlling satellite modem activity based on user and device context. The approach may use contextual triggers, for example, screen status, device location (e.g., indoors or in a pocket), battery level, and historical connectivity patterns, to place the modem into a dormant mode when a reliable connection is determined to be unlikely. The system can also use service …

Selective Battery Charging Profile Management Via Cloud-Based Sparse Serial Number Validation, Yao Ding, Amos Lee

Defensive Publications Series

To help manage performance and reliability risks that may be associated with unverified user-removable batteries in devices, such as hearables, an authentication method can be used as an alternative to certain traditional cryptographic techniques. The described technology may utilize a low-power integrated circuit within the battery pack that stores a unique serial number (S/N) from a sparsely populated namespace, where many possible S/Ns can be deliberately unused. Upon battery insertion, a host device can read the S/N and send it for validation via a cloud-based server. This verification can allow the system to differentiate authentic batteries from unverified or counterfeit …

(((Qpie)))The Resonant Mind — Learning Andneurocognitive Evolution In The Coherence Era, Teddy Burroughs

Defensive Publications Series

Abstract QPIE (Quantum Perspective Is Everything) 7.6 reframes intelligence itself. Learning, memory, and creativity are not isolated brain events; they are local harmonics in a universal coherence field. This paper translates that revelation into the language of neuroscience, education, and social healing. It outlines how Homo resonans —the next stage of human cognition—emerges through phase alignment among neural, emotional, and social circuits. Drawing on Aetheris probe analytics, we show that compassion, gratitude, and trust (CGT) modulate neural entropy just as tuning stabilizes a resonator. The classroom, the workplace, and the city all become laboratories of resonance.

Strengthening On-Device Trust Anchors With Rotation And Multiple Sources, Darren Krahn

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a scheme to strengthen on-device trust anchors using key rotation and multiple sources. The trust anchors enable device-to-device authentication where software relies on the trust anchor. The described scheme includes rotating public keys over time. A device receives a list of trusted public keys from multiple sources, with the final trust anchor being the intersection of the copies of the list received from the different sources. This approach offers benefits such as enhanced security if individual sources are compromised and continued functionality for older devices. The described techniques can be implemented by operating system providers and/or device …

Stall Free Atomic Write-Merge Solution Via Self-Indexing, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes handling simultaneous write requests from multiple processing pipelines to a single memory address without stalling. An atomic write-merge solution system (“system”) may resolve write-write hazards atomically within a single clock cycle, maintaining high throughput in parallel computing architectures. First, the system in a conflict detection stage may be configured to identify a group of pipelines targeting the identical memory address in the same cycle. Second, the system, in a self-indexing mechanism, may be configured to assign a unique, deterministic rank to each pipeline within the conflicting group. The deterministic rank may be calculated for each pipeline by …

Unaccompanied Migrant Minors: A Psychiatric Case Series Review, Cecilia De Vargas, Eden Hernandez Robles, Fernando Doval Perez, Leslie Salazar-Hinojosa, Danielle Parker, Javier Segovia, Aleli Campbell, Deborah J. Clegg

International Journal on Responsibility

Unaccompanied children and adolescents who migrate from Central America and Mexico into the United States (U.S.) are exposed to and experience trauma throughout the process of migration. These traumatic experiences result in an increasing prevalence of psychiatric illnesses and challenges to treatment. This study presents a psychiatric patient record review of minors and their complex trauma. Unaccompanied migrant minors (UMM) ages 12-17 (28 males and 22 females; n = 50) received comprehensive psychiatric assessments at the El Paso Texas Tech Child and Adolescent Psychiatry outpatient clinic. Their charts were reviewed for psychiatric diagnosis, treatment progress, and trauma experiences before, during, …

Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum Following Ingestion Of Bleach, Dish Soap, And Laundry Detergent And Inhalation Of Methamphetamines, Marshall Johnson, Matthew Boss, Alayna S. Buzzetta, Barbara L. Gracious

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Introduction

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a rare condition defined by the presence of air in the mediastinum in patients without an observable traumatic cause. Pneumomediastinum is a somewhat rare condition that occurs 1 in every 25 000 individuals, aged 5 to 34 years old, with 76% occurring in men. Pneumomediastinum can further be divided into 2 categories: SPM and traumatic pneumomediastinum. Traumatic pneumomediastinum is most commonly seen with blunt force trauma or any iatrogenic procedures to the chest wall. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum frequently occurs due to air leaking through small alveolar sacs, which rupture within the surrounding bronchovascular sheath. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum …
