Introduction
West Virginia is an Appalachian rural state that ranks highest in the nation in the prevalence of diabetes (16.2%). The COVID-19 pandemic impacted routine diabetes care. As a result, individuals experienced diabetes distress over the physical and psychological burdens of diabetes management. In rural and medically underserved counties (71%), diabetes care is often provided by primary care physicians. However, healthcare providers’ perspectives on diabetes distress and related counseling to address them are unclear. This cross-sectional study’s objective was to explore healthcare providers’ (HCP) perspectives regarding their patient’s diabetes distress and how it guided their counseling for diabetes self-care during …

Introduction
Advance Directives (AD) allow patients to maintain autonomy during incapacitation. Patients and their caregivers benefit from these documents in times of crisis. Overcoming barriers to AD completion and documentation can improve patient care quality.
Methods
A retrospective chart review was performed initially, after consolidation of the electronic health record (EHR) and after alteration of the EHR, to evaluate the availability of a patient’s medical power of attorney (MPOA), living will (LW), and code status.
Results
Baseline documentation of MPOA (7.33%), LW (6.00%), and code status (5.33%) within the outpatient EHR was low. After 2 cycles, this improved to 13.10%, …
Successful Surgical Outcome After Traumatic Diaphragmatic Intra-Pericardial Herniation From Blunt Abdominal Injury, Tyler Bayliss, Mark H. Cooper, Paul Bown
Successful Surgical Outcome After Traumatic Diaphragmatic Intra-Pericardial Herniation From Blunt Abdominal Injury, Tyler Bayliss, Mark H. Cooper, Paul Bown
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia (IPDH) is a rare manifestation of non-hiatal diaphragmatic hernias (NHDH). Intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia is defined as the prolapse of the abdominal viscera into the pericardium through the diaphragm. Their incidence has increased over the last 50-60 years, secondary to high-speed transport, and constitutes 5% of major thoracic and abdominal trauma today. These injuries can present during the initial workup or months after the initiating injury. These hernias can be caused by both blunt and penetrating trauma with concomitant central tendon rupture and pericardial laceration. We report an interesting case of intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia with delayed presentation that …
Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome: A Case Report About Claudication In A Healthy Adult, Adrienne Mays-Kingston, Jeremy Eckels, Holly Farkosh, Austin Nichols, Paris Johnson, Adam M. Franks
Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome: A Case Report About Claudication In A Healthy Adult, Adrienne Mays-Kingston, Jeremy Eckels, Holly Farkosh, Austin Nichols, Paris Johnson, Adam M. Franks
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Claudication occurs when the blood supply is insufficient to service the musculature in the body with oxygen and metabolic waste management. A clinical complaint of claudication is commonly seen in primary care among older patients with vascular risk factors. A young and healthy patient presenting with claudication is less common and often results in delayed diagnosis with numerous extraneous diagnostic studies. This case discusses a young, healthy male patient with lower extremity symptoms that got worse with exercise and better with rest. He had normal physical exam findings leading to multiple diagnostic studies and over 12 months between the onset …

The Future Of Medicine Is Behind Us: The Case For A 1912 Case-Based Curricula, Aaron Mcguffin
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Patient outcomes continue to suffer despite exponential advances in access to medical knowledge. This requires an evaluation of the pedagogy of our medical education delivery. Case-based learning has long been shown to be an effective teaching method to improve student knowledge, student and faculty engagement, and improve patient outcomes. In order to improve patient outcomes specifically in accurate and timely diagnosis, we need to strongly consider converting our existing curricular models entirely to a case-based format.
Management Of Asymptomatic Hypertension In The Inpatient Setting., Charles Meadows, Mehiar Elhamdani, Dial Larry, Murad Kheetan, Khaled Al-Baqain
Management Of Asymptomatic Hypertension In The Inpatient Setting., Charles Meadows, Mehiar Elhamdani, Dial Larry, Murad Kheetan, Khaled Al-Baqain
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Hypertension is common in hospitalized patients and is most often asymptomatic. While there are no guidelines for management of such patients, aggressive blood pressure treatment, including the use of intravenous antihypertensives, is often undertaken. While evidence of benefit is lacking, emerging data suggest that treatment of asymptomatic hypertension in the inpatient setting is associated with adverse outcomes, including acute kidney injury and ischemic stroke. In addition, the intensification of a preexisting antihypertensive regimen at hospital discharge significantly increases the risk of readmission without significant improvement in outpatient hypertension control. Such a combination of a common problem with the demonstrable benefit …
Discontinuation Of Routine Postpartum Complete Blood Count In Uncomplicated Vaginal Deliveries, Tori Miller, Erin Light, Caleb Spainhower, David G. Chaffin, Jesse Cottrell
Discontinuation Of Routine Postpartum Complete Blood Count In Uncomplicated Vaginal Deliveries, Tori Miller, Erin Light, Caleb Spainhower, David G. Chaffin, Jesse Cottrell
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Introduction
The aim of this prospective study is to assess the clinical utility and safety of discontinuing routine Complete Blood Count (CBC) testing in uncomplicated vaginal deliveries with a focus on identifying potential benefits, risks, and overall cost-effectiveness of this practice. This routine CBC is used to assess for postpartum anemia and the need for a blood transfusion but is currently performed regardless of initial blood count on admission or estimated blood loss during delivery. However, recent evidence suggests that routine CBC testing may not significantly impact clinical outcomes in low-risk pregnancies. In this study, we hypothesize that routine postpartum …

Introduction
The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate outcomes in patients who underwent the fertilized anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedure. We aim to investigate the return to previous level of activity, safety, and re-rupture rates of the ACL reconstruction augmented with bone marrow concentrate, demineralized bone matrix, autograft bone, and a suture tape (the fertilized ACL).
Methods
A comprehensive review of medical records was conducted for patients treated with the fertilized ACL (FACL). Medical records of all the patients who underwent reconstruction surgery between July 2018 and January 2021 were evaluated. The inclusion criteria for the study …
A Commonly Misdiagnosed Rare Pulmonary Disease: Idiopathic Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis, Yonas Raru, Amro K. Al-Astal, Saroj Sigdel
A Commonly Misdiagnosed Rare Pulmonary Disease: Idiopathic Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis, Yonas Raru, Amro K. Al-Astal, Saroj Sigdel
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Awareness among clinicians about Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is lacking and by the time patients are diagnosed with it, they were seen by multiple physicians and misdiagnosed multiple times. It is a rare condition that is characterized by fibrosis of the pleura and subpleural lung parenchyma, predominantly affecting the upper lobes. Most common cause of fibrosis in other processes is collagen predominant but in PPFE fibrosis is usually caused by elastic fibers. Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain from lung biopsies in patients who presented with fibrosis in the upper pleural and parenchymal areas will help in establishing the diagnosis by demonstrating the …

A Rare Case Of Bilateral Synchronous Phyllodes Tumor And Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Micah Ray Md, Mary Legenza Md, Diane Krutzler Md
A Rare Case Of Bilateral Synchronous Phyllodes Tumor And Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Micah Ray Md, Mary Legenza Md, Diane Krutzler Md
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Synchronous breast cancer is a rare event. The majority of cases of synchronous breast cancer will have minor differences in receptor status, but rarely different origins of the tumors. Various breast tumors can have either epithelial or mesenchymal origin and have different treatment strategies and outcomes. In the literature there is a paucity of information regarding the synchronous presentation and treatment of a triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma (TN IDC) and a malignant phyllodes tumor (mPT). This case presentation discusses a 64-year-old woman who presented with a left breast TN IDC and a right breast malignant phyllodes tumor.

Marshall Journal of Medicine
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease among reproductive-age women that can result in chronic pain, severely decreased quality of life, and infertility. We present a case of a 44-year-old female with a known history of endometriosis who presented with constipation, decreased appetite, iron deficiency anemia, and unintentional weight loss for 6 months. Investigation with colonoscopy discovered a partially-obstructing mass in her proximal rectum and no evidence of malignancy on biopsy. The mass was subsequently removed during a combined robotic-assisted total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-ophorectomy and low anterior resection with reanastomosis. Surgical pathology determined that the mass was consistent with endometriosis …
Eruptive Lentigines Confined To Resolving Psoriatic Plaques Following Treatment With Guselkumab, Jacob R. Kilgore Md, James C. Curry, Shane E. Cook Md
Eruptive Lentigines Confined To Resolving Psoriatic Plaques Following Treatment With Guselkumab, Jacob R. Kilgore Md, James C. Curry, Shane E. Cook Md
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Eruptive lentigines in the area of resolving psoriatic plaques has been well documented in the literature following successful treatment with multiple therapies. This is historically associated with light treatment but has been expanded to include other therapies such as anti-tumor necrosis factor therapies and, more recently, some biologics5. Guselkumab (Tremfya) is an IgG1λ monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of plaque psoriasis with only one case of eruptive lentigines confined to resolving psoriatic plaques (ELRP) noted as a side effect. We present the second such case of ELRP associated with successful treatment of plaque psoriasis with Guselkumab, as …

Marshall Journal of Medicine
Abstract
Patients with neck masses typically present to primary care providers, but most are unfamiliar with the management of aggressively expanding neck masses. With so many varied structures in the cervical region, a rapidly growing neck mass can be a diagnostic dilemma. The broad initial differential includes infectious, inflammatory, vascular, and malignant causes. When the clinical course points to an aggressive malignancy, the location of the mass helps provide the clues to the likely etiology. Potential sites of involvement include the musculature, bone, larynx, trachea, esophagus, lymph tissue and thyroid tissue. Anterior neck masses at the level the thyroid should …

Marshall Journal of Medicine
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease primarily characterized by pulmonary manifestations. Extrapulmonary involvement in sarcoidosis is well documented and common, but isolated extrapulmonary involvement is rare at around 10% of cases at the time of diagnosis. Cutaneous presentations vary significantly, with erythema nodosum being the most common. Since extrapulmonary symptoms most likely suggest systemic involvement, any way to identify sarcoidosis early is paramount. We present a case of a 63-year-old Caucasian female with multiple palpable 0.5-3cm nodules under the skin of the bilateral forearms, left hand, and lower extremities. A biopsy of a lesion revealed numerous sarcoidal phenotype granulomas without …

Transdiaphragmatic Intercostal Hernia Repair In A Patient With Previous Thoracic Surgery, Lilyan T. Starkey, Ruth P. Gerola, David A. Denning
Marshall Journal of Medicine
A transdiaphragmatic intercostal hernia (TDIH) describes the herniation of abdominal contents through diaphragm and chest wall defects. It has been documented following traumatic injuries as well as after episodes of increased thoracoabdominal pressure. However, those resulting from iatrogenic cause remain uncommon and are less often recorded. We report an iatrogenic TDIH in a patient presenting 39 days after a complicated thoracic procedure, highlighting the surgical technique used for successful hernia reduction, diaphragmatic closure, and rib re-approximation. The case reinforces the possibility of a TDIH occurring as a post-surgical complication. Surgeons should anticipate the potential development of TDIH, particularly after thoracic …

Propofol Related Infusion Syndrome: A Subtle Adversary, Brandon Harris, Elizabeth C. Taylor, John W. Pickstone, Errington C. Thompson Md
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Propofol Related Infusion Syndrome (PRIS) was first described in 1998. It has a strange collection of symptoms, including marked bradycardia, persistent, recalcitrant metabolic acidosis, liver enlargement, rhabdomyolysis, and lipemic blood. We present two recent patients who appeared to have had PRIS. Creatinine kinase seems to be an early detector of PRIS. If PRIS is recognized early, this complex metabolic process seems to be completely reversible.

Integrating Feminist Approaches In Counseling Work With Adult Women, Kristen M. Toole
Integrating Feminist Approaches In Counseling Work With Adult Women, Kristen M. Toole
Adultspan Journal
The scope of ‘women’s issues’ in counseling is an ever-evolving landscape. Recent events such as the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on women serve as powerful reminders of the necessity of this focus while underscoring a deep-rooted history of oppressive patriarchal structures. Therefore, counselors must remain informed of the unique considerations surrounding adult women in counseling and acquire proficiency in versatile techniques to meet this population’s nuanced needs. This article examines the complexity of contemporary womanhood and explores the fundamentals of Feminist Counseling Theory (FCT), a holistic, multiculturally conscious, social justice theory in counseling. …

Disability culture is often misunderstood by counselors who lack extensive training in working with individuals with disabilities (IWDs) (Stuntzner & Hartley, 2014). This quantitative study used the Counseling Clients with Disability Survey (CCDS) to explore the beliefs and perceived knowledge of counselors-in-training (CITs), counselors, and counselor educators regarding preparation to counsel IWDs, which is particularly important as disability status can change across the lifespan, and given that the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) Standards Review Committee provided a guide to the draft standards incorporating the infusion of disability concepts. Results indicate that counselors were competent …

Adultspan Journal
Telebehavioral health offers a unique opportunity to expand access to mental health services for older clients by addressing systemic barriers that often render mental health care inaccessible in later life. Although health interventions facilitated by technology, including telebehavioral health approaches, proliferated at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, little guidance exists for counselors seeking to provide such services to clients in later life. In this manuscript, we describe challenges accessing mental health services, how telebehavioral health services can address these barriers, and practical consideration for delivering telebehavioral health approaches for counselors who work with older clients.
