Improving Patients’ Perception Of Provider Trust And Communication With Birth Plans, Christelle Reeves, Nicole Tenzel, Timothy Kremer
North Texas GME Research Forum 2024
Objective: Birth plans are an effective tool for a pregnant person to express their desires and expectations for labor and postpartum. Shortcomings of birth plans can be found whenever there is a lapse in communication between provider and patient. In the management of labor and emergent situations, it has been observed by patients that obstetric providers can communicate in authoritarian and dismissive manners. In response to this, birth plans were developed to serve as a guide in these scenarios. Birth plans allow a pregnant person to design a thoughtful plan of action with their healthcare provider before giving birth, rather …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024
Pacemaker-lead associated complications are often documented in elderly populations with ischemic heart disease. Acute perforations within 24 hours of implantation are the most common, and immediate life-threatening complications are most likely to occur during an acute perforation. Subacute perforations between 1 day and 30 days after implantation are less common and carry a lower risk of life-threatening complications. Here, we present a unique case of subacute right ventricular perforation in a young individual with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, challenging the conventional understanding of such an occurrence. Further adding to the intrigue of our case, the patient had recurrent hospital visits both before …

Gut Fermentation Syndrome: Unraveling The Enigma Of Auto-Brewery Syndrome., Jatin Sadarangani, Vaishnavi Singh, Sathish Karmegam
North Texas GME Research Forum 2024
A disorder known as "auto-brewery syndrome" or "gut fermentation syndrome" occurs when bacteria or fungus in the urinary, oral, or gastrointestinal tract ferment endogenously, producing ethanol. Patients with auto-brewery syndrome frequently report eating a diet heavy in sugar and carbohydrates and exhibit many of the symptoms and indicators of alcohol intoxication while disputing alcohol consumption. Research on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease indicates that endogenous alcohol synthesis may have bacterial roots; these bacteria may also be the causative agents in GFS. Probiotics, low-carb diets, anti-fungal medications, and antibiotics are currently used as therapies for GFS. Fecal microbiota transplantation may also have …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024
INTRODUCTION: When a patient presents with a blistering rash arriving at the diagnosis can seem overwhelming. Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease and tends to affect older individuals, with a mean age of presentation of eighty. It is caused by antibodies targeting the basement membrane zone, the structure between epidermis and dermis, specifically affecting the BP180 (Type-XVII collagen) and BP230 (a plakin) proteins. Antibody-antigen complexes lead to complement activation and destruction of these transmembrane proteins, causing separation of the epidermis and dermis, and formation of tense, subepidermal blisters and bullae. Identification of key clinical features and …
