Transcatheter Occlusion Of A Patent Ductus Arteriosus For A Symptomatic Left-To-Right Shunt., Papus Keita, Frank Han, Nicholas J Peterman, Sandor Toledo, Anthony Munaco May 2022

Transcatheter Occlusion Of A Patent Ductus Arteriosus For A Symptomatic Left-To-Right Shunt., Papus Keita, Frank Han, Nicholas J Peterman, Sandor Toledo, Anthony Munaco

Department of Surgery Residents

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) can induce life-threatening pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is often maintained in CDH to allow for decompression into the systemic circulation. However, if the PDA becomes hemodynamically significant, PDA closure may be indicated. Traditional methods rely on pharmacological closure. In this report, we document a rare transcatheter closure of a hemodynamically significant PDA.

Malignant Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (Adem) Presenting As A Stroke Alert: A Case Report., Madeline J Hooper, Joshua A. Kalter Ms3, Nicholas S. Imperato, Marna R. Greenberg Do, Mph, Facep

Department of Emergency Medicine

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare illness. Generally characterized by encephalopathy and non-specific, heterogeneous neurological deficits depending on the location of the demyelinated lesions, ADEM is considered a clinical diagnosis with radiological findings that may or may not have supportive features based on the temporal relationship of an inciting factor and symptom onset. Even rarer, hyperacute or malignant ADEM can be defined by rapid symptom onset followed by catastrophic brain edema and its sequelae. We present a case of a patient who presented with an acute stroke with activation of a rapid sequence care pathway (stroke alert protocol) to …

Pulmonary Artery Root Replacement For Leiomyosarcoma: A Viable Thoracic Oncovascular Operation., Papus Keita, Matthew Janko, Nicholas J Peterman, Sandor Toledo, Marc Pelletier

Department of Surgery Residents

Leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery is a rare but potentially fatal disease. Due to its rarity, the treatment algorithm is not well-established. While there may be a role for both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, surgical management is the most definitive method. Unfortunately, when the disease process is advanced, surgery may not be curative. However, it may still be a palliative treatment option. In this case report, we present a patient who suffered from respiratory symptoms that were initially attributed to pulmonary embolism (PE). However, upon the diagnosis of pulmonary artery leiomyosarcoma (PAL), surgery intervention was undertaken and resulted in an improved …

Providencia Rettgeri Infection Compromising Post-Burn Recovery: A Lesson In The Importance Of Follow-Up Care., Mallorie L Huff, Sigrid A. Blome-Eberwein Md

Department of Surgery

Early burn excision and skin grafting have been essential to improving patient outcomes following a burn injury. However, there remain significant barriers to recovery for burn patients, especially in the post-discharge period, as follow-up care is essential to the timely identification of complications. While the infection is a common complication of a post-burn wound,

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 …

Department of Surgery

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening infection that can be rapidly fatal. Early identification and emergent surgical management are essential to minimize morbidity and mortality. This case report describes a 25-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a three-day history of worsening left lower dental infection and new-onset neck pain and swelling. He received broad-spectrum antibiotics and intravenous fluid resuscitation and underwent computed tomography of the neck and chest. Following intensive care unit admission, he underwent tooth extraction where intraoperative evaluation revealed subcutaneous crepitus. Immediate debridement was performed, revealing copious foul-smelling purulent discharge and necrotic tissue extending over the …

A Novel Treatment Of Postpartum Depression And Review Of Literature., Jennifer Yoon, Jason Gu Md, Katherine B. Martin Md Feb 2022

A Novel Treatment Of Postpartum Depression And Review Of Literature., Jennifer Yoon, Jason Gu Md, Katherine B. Martin Md

Department of Psychiatry

Early-onset postpartum depression has been shown to have a unique neurobiological basis compared to major depressive disorder, implying a need for targeted treatments such as the recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved brexanolone. In this case report, a woman with a past medical history of major depressive disorder was diagnosed with postpartum depression due to worsening mood with suicidal and homicidal ideations. She was treated with vilazodone and aripiprazole with good effect after consideration of her past medication trials. Her regimen is unique in clinical practice and not reported in current literature for the treatment of postpartum depression. It may …
