A Bullous Eruption In An 81-Year-Old Male, Garrett S. Furth, Christian J. Scheufele, Carlos S. Bahrami, Stephen E. Weis

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 …

Recurrent Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardias In A Patient With Suspicion Of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report, Chinar Singh, Meng Xie, Poonam Choudhry, Asif Jawaid

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Objective: This case study aims to highlight the mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnostic strategies, and management approach utilized for recurrent non-sustained ventricular tachycardias in a patient with suspected cardiac amyloidosis.

Background: Amyloidosis is a group of disorders characterized by the abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins in tissues and organs throughout the body. These proteins aggregate into insoluble fibrils that disrupt normal cellular function, leading to a range of clinical manifestations depending on the affected organs. Cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils specifically in the myocardial tissue, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy, progressive heart failure and arrhythmias. Ventricular tachycardia …

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Scc) Of The Sigmoid Colon: A Rare Location & Histological Subtype Of Colorectal Carcinoma (Crc), Astrid Sacasa, Stachyse Stanis, Mohtashim Naeem

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

It most frequently occurs in the right colon, and least commonly in the sigmoid colon. Similar CRC symptoms no matter the subtype can range from asymptomatic to rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, and weight loss. Here, we describe a case of primary basaloid SCC of the sigmoid colon.

Case description. A 71-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with guaiac-positive stools, underwent a colonoscopy revealing an ulcerated mass in the left colon. Histopathology and immunohistochemical results …
