Outcomes Of Patients With Copd During The Covid Pandemic, Jacob Hentges, Julia Fashner

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

A scoping review of COVID-19's impact on healthcare delivery and health outcomes found disruptions in care delivery and a shift towards telemedicine(1). Another study found no significant change in the length of stay for patients admitted to the hospital for COPD exacerbation during the pandemic period compared to the pre-pandemic period(2).

We conducted a secondary analysis of HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital data to compare the outcomes of patients with COPD before (Jan 2018 – Feb 2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 – Dec 2021). The data included patients aged over 18 years who were diagnosed with COPD …

Challenges Of Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome: A Clinical Case Report, Ruth Williams, Ranga Rathakrishnan

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Introduction: Cerebral Hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a clinical syndrome of hypertension, headache, neurological deficits, with or without seizures, following a revascularization procedure. It is characterized by an excessive and sudden increase in cerebral blood flow. The mechanism is largely not understood but theories involve impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation (thought to be mitigated by collateral circulation), free radical damage, and baroreceptor reflex damage, possible from the procedure itself1 . Common presentations include severe ipsilateral headache to the side of the lesion with typical onset within 12 hours to 6 days, but can occur up to one month, after carotid revascularization processes2 . …

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Please see supplemental content for full abstract with references.

Introduction: An ancient disease identified in Egyptian and Peruvian mummies, tuberculous spondylitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is considered the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) [1,5]. Despite the identification of the causative agent, the improvement in diagnostic tools, the production of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, and the development of antimicrobial regimens since the disease was first described, it remains a major health burden today with significant morbidity and mortality among developing countries [5]. Spinal TB can lead to severe deformity and permanent neurological deficits, as such early recognition …

Subacute Stroke Like Presentation Likely Due To Disseminated Histoplasmosis In An Immunocompromised Patient, Ashley R. Diaz, Priya Mohan, Utmitha Konda, Alfonso Manotas, Issac Ichoa

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Histoplasmosis capsulatum is an opportunistic fungal infection that is largely asymptomatic and found to have nonspecific signs and symptoms. It predominates in Central and North America, and is one of the leading causes of hospitalization among the fungal family. However, in the right host, such as in this case, a patient with significant immunosuppression can develop serious manifestations as it disseminates outside of the pulmonary system. The challenging element of disseminated histoplasmosis is that despite proper treatment immunocompromised patients will frequently relapse with worsening presentation. There is limited literature on subacute stroke-like presentation in a patient with chronic infection of …

Multiple Sclerosis In A 32-Year-Old Female With History Of Prolactinoma, Aleeza Ali, Jesse Simon, Adekunle Bamgboye

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Among disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS), excluding trauma, multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of permanent disability in young adults. This condition is characterized by IgG autoantibody-mediated destruction of oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord. Although the origin of MS is not fully understood, some suggest that prolactin may be involved in the development of the disease process evidenced by the fact that it predominately affects women of childbearing age, and the diverse role of prolactin (PRL) as a peptide hormone, cytokine, and immune modulator. Here we review the case of a 32-year-old female with …

Please see supplemental content for full abstract with references.

Neonatal ascites is a condition characterized by abdominal distention resulting from the accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity and is life-threatening if not treated appropriately. Genitourinary abnormalities and urinary ascites are important to consider as part of the differential for newborns presenting with abdominal distention and ascites. In male infants with urinary ascites, presence of a posterior ureteral valve is a common etiology, accounting for up to 70% of cases. In this setting, early identification and management of urinary outlet obstruction is essential to prevent progression to autodialysis and uremia. …

Myocarditis affects 1.5 million people worldwide and in chronic forms can lead to heart failure. This inflammatory disorder is a primary cause of dilated cardiomyopathy globally and is frequently a complication of viral infections. Although Coxsackievirus B3 continues to be a prominent causative agent, further exploration has discovered a number of Coxsackie serotypes responsible for myocarditis. Despite being a well-known contributor to congestive heart failure, there is a lack of conventional techniques available to aid in diagnosis, making diagnosing acute viral myocarditis a complex and tedious process. We discuss the case …
