Department of Medicine

Food deserts exist due to a multitude of factors ranging from socioeconomic status, racial disparities, geography, cost, and healthful food access. Given the vast biological function of vitamins and minerals, the clinical presentation for nutritional deficiencies ranges from benign to life-threatening. Often, the first indicators of underlying nutritional deficiencies are cutaneous manifestations. The first patient case is a 36-year-old female at 25 weeks gestation with a pruritic and painful rash that began in the genital region and spread centrifugally to her legs. The second patient case is a 42-year-old male with a pruritic rash that began at his abdomen and …

Department of Emergency Medicine

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause of vertigo. Symptoms from BPPV lead to Emergency Department (ED) visits, and persistence of symptoms, particularly in the elderly, may impact patient disposition. We describe the techniques used in the case of a 72-year-old male with dizziness, who had symptom resolution, and was able to be safely discharged after a Lempert maneuver (barbeque (BBQ) roll) was performed in the ED setting. The patient presented to the ED with left gaze nystagmus, and otherwise normal evaluation results. Physical therapy was consulted, and their initial evaluation indicated right horizontal canalithiasis noted by fatiguing …

Trastuzumab Associated With Recurrent Severe Thrombocytopenia And Successful Use Of Pertuzumab Monotherapy., Mallorie L Huff, Joshua A. Kalter Ms3, Ramona E. Chase Crnp, Ranju Gupta

Hematology-Medical Oncology Division

Trastuzumab is a mainstay chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/neu-positive breast cancer that, though generally well-tolerated, is classically associated with side effects like cardiotoxicity. Cytopenias can be seen but are generally secondary to other chemotherapeutic agents used in conjunction with trastuzumab. Herein, we present a case of recurrent severe thrombocytopenia following trastuzumab use that resolved following discontinuation. Our patient then finished a year of maintenance therapy with pertuzumab alone and is still in remission four years later. This is the eleventh report of this severe adverse effect described in the literature. This …
