Chronic Cavitary Pulmonary Aspergillosis: An Unusual Cause Of Chronic Cough, Pleuritic Chest Pain, And Hemoptysis In A 24-Year-Old Coal Mine Worker, Emma I. Sherfinski, Emily J. Vore, Mark H. Cooper Md, Phd, Peimei He Md

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Pulmonary Aspergillus infections are caused by the ubiquitous fungus mold when spores found in compost, dust, and plant material are inhaled. Manifestation of the disease is represented by a delicate balance between host and pathogen interactions, making Aspergillus infection more commonly observed in immunocompromised individuals. Chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) is a subtype of pulmonary Aspergillosis associated with history of chronic or prior lung disease. Here we present the case of a non-immunocompromised 24-year-old male with a history of intermittent asthma with chronic pulmonary symptoms and finding of a lung mass on imaging. We describe the diagnostic challenge and surgical …

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Community health is vital to increase the lifespan and quality of life of the people on our planet. We must unite to fight disease through education and implementing quality healthcare. This piece was created prior to the pandemic, but its message is so incredibly pertinent in these troubling times.

Culturally Responsive Civic Engagement: A Pathway To Mental Health Equity For Latinx Youth, Jasmine Tran, Andrew Tran

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The COVID-19 pandemic magnified the existing inequities in the mental healthcare system that disproportionately affects communities of color, especially Latinx youth. This population faces disparities in the availability, accessibility, and quality of mental health services. This call to action to combat current mental health disparities entails ongoing collaborative efforts that address the plights of this community through community-based research studies. These studies inform efforts to mobilize health professionals, policymakers, and community partners across sectors to collaboratively dismantle systemic disparities and promote culturally-responsive initiatives.

Sexual Obsessions In A Patient With Schizophrenia, Mohsin Raza, Barbara L. Gracious

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Obsessive-compulsive symptoms in schizophrenia are often initially unrecognized or missed entirely in the diagnostic process. Sexual obsession is common in patients with schizophrenia. Therefore, identifying sexual obsession early in treatment has significant implications for appropriate multidisciplinary management and prognosis. We report the case of a Hispanic male in his 20s who presented with self-injurious behavior and worsening psychotic symptoms in the context of a recent diagnosis of schizophrenia and without a past diagnosis or historical symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This report elucidates the importance of identifying the underlying cause of self-injurious behavior, which in this young man was due …

Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma: A Clinical And Histopathologic Emulator Of Atypical Fibroxanthoma, But Different Biologic Behavior, Michael Carletti, Daniel A. Nguyen, Peter Malouf, Zachary Ingersoll, Gregory A. Hosler, Stephen E. Weis

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) can clinically and histopathologically mimic atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX). However, it has a more aggressive clinical course with a higher recurrence rate and metastatic potential. This case presentation aims to report a rapidly-growing, exophytic, 4 cm tumor following a non-diagnostic shave biopsy 2 months prior and to highlight distinctive features between PDS and AFX needed to make the correct diagnosis. Like AFX, PDS occurs on the sun-damaged skin of the elderly, usually on the head and neck. Also, like AFX, PDS histopathologically consists of sheets or fascicles of epithelioid and/or spindle-shaped cells, often with multinucleation, pleomorphism, and …

A Mixed Methods Approach To Improving Provider Counseling Of Patients Who Vape, Leah M. Ranney, Sarah D. Kowitt, Kathleen Mottus, Susan Mcdowell, Amber N. Beane, Sheri Denslow, Kit Sturm, Noah Rice, Michelle Hernandez, Ilona Jaspers, Elise Hickman, Jacqueline R. Halladay

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Significance

Vaping is an epidemic among young people, but there is little guidance on how medical providers should counsel young adults about vaping. To address this gap, we examined how electronic health record (EHR) systems prompt providers to collect vaping data and interviewed young adults about vaping communications with providers and preferred information sources.

Methods

In this mixed methods study, we used survey research methods to explore if prompts exist in EHR systems to guide discussions about vaping with youth seen in primary care. We collected primary care practice information about EHR prompts regarding e-cigarette use from 10 rural North …

En el transcurrir de la vida, una persona se enfrenta a decisiones de diverso grado de complejidad, desde las más básicas hasta las más importantes. Un ejecutivo, por ejemplo, decide el plan de inversión de la empresa para maximizar su valor (Fierro, 2007); en este sentido, el individuo analiza múltiples variables en un solo instante y con información imprecisa producto del “mundo” de la incertidumbre (Gupta y Govindarajan, 1984), donde entra a desempeñar un papel importante el grado de subjetividad de los tomadores de decisiones, que se ven altamente influenciados por sus escalas de valores de quienes toman la decisión …
