When Appendiceal Obstruction Looks Metallic: An Unusual Radiologic Presentation Of Appendicitis, Nathan Cohen, Gary Padilla-Maldonado

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

Introduction: Right lower quadrant pain is a common presentation of acute appendicitis, but presentations in elderly patients may be subtle. Appendiceal obstruction is frequently caused by fecaliths; however, not all radiopaque findings in the appendix represent fecaliths. Rarely, these obstructions can mimic metallic foreign bodies on imaging, complicating interpretation and management. This case highlights an unusual radiologic presentation of appendiceal obstruction with metallic appearance, underscoring the importance of careful image analysis in atypical cases of appendicitis.

Case Description: An elderly man presented to the emergency department with a three-day history of constant right lower quadrant abdominal pain. He denied associated …

Performance In Grading Of Well Differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (Wdpannet) Using The 2019 World Health Organization (Who) Classification Of Tumors Of The Digestive System. Experience Of A Community Teaching Hospital., Astrid Sacasa, Gul Emek Wymer, Susana Ferra

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

CONTEXT: The WHO Classification of Tumors of the Digestive System (2019) categorizes WDPanNETs as grade 1 (G1), grade 2 (G2) or grade 3 (G3) by mitotic count and proliferative index (KI67). We examined the performance of pathologists and pathology trainees in grading WDPanNET according to the 2019 WHO Classification.

DESIGN: One H&E and KI-67 slides of eleven WDPanNET cases from our 2023 archives (7 G1, 1 G2 and 3 G3) were blindly evaluated by 2 junior residents (PGY-1), 2 senior residents (PGY-3), 2 pathologists without formal gastrointestinal training (NOGIP) and 2 pathologists with formal gastrointestinal training (GIP), provided with the …

The Face-Off Between Two Mimics: Lupus And Tuberculosis, Fnu Swatisikta, Nang Kham, Ali Chaudhry

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

INTRODUCTION Both lupus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis can affect any organ and can present with non-specific multi-organ involvement. In a patient with lupus, it may be difficult to distinguish between a lupus flare and a mycobacterial infection.

CASE A 28-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), (anti-Smith and ds-DNA positive), presented with knee swelling, chest and abdominal pain. She had elevated inflammatory markers, hyperkalemia with AKI. CT chest showed bilateral lung micronodules and patchy opacity. The patient had been on long-term steroids, mycophenolate, and hydroxychloroquine. Belimumab and voclosporin were initiated after a recent kidney biopsy revealed class 4 …

Isolated Unilateral Medial Rectus Palsy Due To Acute Pontine Infarction, Miranda Bingham, Shterna Frand, Charley Meadows, Sanjay Sharma

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Isolated unilateral medial rectus palsy is a rare but significant clinical manifestation of acute pontine infarction, often presenting without the typical neurological deficits seen in brainstem strokes. This case report highlights a 61-year-old male with a history of hypertension and diabetes who presented with four days of double vision, with no other significant neurological symptoms such as headache, speech disturbances, or focal weakness. On examination, the patient exhibited an isolated inability to adduct his left eye, without any visual deficits or abnormalities in other cranial nerve functions. Neuroimaging, specifically MRI, confirmed the diagnosis of an acute left pontine infarction. The …

Culture Negative Endocarditis Masquerading As Idiopathic Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis, Sania Moonnumackel, Manish Pandey, Randy Nguyen, Reuben Abreu, Seline Haci, Neelima Paladugu, Machaiah Madhrira

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a challenging disease to diagnose often presenting with heterogeneous features. Blood cultures are the gold standard for diagnosing endocarditis, but it is important to know that up to 20 % of cases of infective endocarditis have negative blood cultures. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a small vessel vasculitis and is idiopathic in 50% of cases. LCV is a rare but possible presentation of Infective endocarditis. Hence IE should be part of the differential diagnosis when LCV is diagnosed. Case summary: A 53-year-old male patient presenting right lower extremity pain and vesiculobullous lesions over bilateral upper and …

Heterotopic Ossification (Ho) Prophylaxis In Total Hip Arthroplasty (Tha): A Systematic Review Of Level I And Level Ii Evidence Since 2000, Troy Puga, Mckenna Box, Vincent Dieu, Charles Marchese, John T. Riehl

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a somewhat common occurrence after total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly with certain approaches. This complication can be detrimental to the success of the surgical outcome. Indomethacin and radiotherapy remain common treatment modalities; however, no true gold-standard treatment is universally agreed upon. This study aims to evaluate Level I and Level II evidence for treatment practices of HO prophylaxis since 2000. Methods: To evaluate HO prophylaxis in total hip arthroplasty, a search was conducted across MEDLINE/Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase databases using keywords and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms. Titles and abstracts were screened for eligibility for …
