Introduction
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of plasma cells, which is a white blood cell that normally produces antibodies
- Treatment in patients younger than 65 years old is typically high dose chemotherapy, usually with bortezomib based regimens or lenalidomide dexamethasone, followed by a stem cell transplant
- For patients with relapsed myeloma, carfilzomib is usually the treatment of choice
- Carfilzomib is a highly selective, irreversible proteasome inhibitor that binds to the 20 S proteasome. Several studies have illustrated that carfilzomib has been associated with cardiovascular adverse events (CVAE).
- Current literature on the role and effect of bortezomib on cardiotoxicity is …

Multiple Myeloma With Dual Expression Of Kappa And Lambda Light Chains, Monica Patel, Akash Patel, Yvette Wang
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells that accounts for approximately 1 to 2 percent of all cancers and about 17% of all hematologic malignancies.
Plasma cells normally produce antibodies and provide a defense mechanism for the body to fight infections.
Antibodies typically consist of two heavy chains (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and IgE) and two light chains (kappa and lambda).
Most cases of MM have malignant plasma cells producing monoclonal (M) proteins, most common being IgG about 52% of the time (1).
Only about 2% of these myeloma cases were also found to secrete more than one …

Telemedicine is an emerging field in which physicians are able to interact electronically with patients to improve health. Telemedicine can be performed through virtual platforms such as email, telephone and video, and can provide or augment care to a multitude of patients.
During the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the use of telemedicine has grown exponentially in an effort to continue to see patients and manage their care. The unprecedented era of social distancing and overloaded hospital systems has led many primary care providers and specialists alike to rapidly develop these capabilities in their practices.
Benefits of telemedicine include: increasing access …

Case Report: Post-Partum Headache, Alaleh Ebrahimi

Cerebral venous sinus thromboses are rare and occur in 5 people/1,000,000, more commonly in women that are pregnant at about 202/100,000 deliveries with an 11.63% mortality rate. It is believed that pregnancy being a hypercoagulable state is one of the main reasons that it is more common in pregnant and post-partum women. Common symptoms include sudden onset headache, blurry vision, focal neuro deficits, seizures and altered mental status.

An 18 year old G1P1 female, 3 months postpartum presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain that was diagnosed as cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Following a cholecystectomy surgery, the patient developed weakness and gait abnormality that was diagnosed as neuralgia.
Meralgia paresthetica is such an understudied diagnosis that its incidence is unknown. Patients who are 30-85 years old, obese, diabetic, and/or pregnant are at an increased risk for the condition. This case calls attention to the underdiagnosis of meralgia paresthetica in pediatric patients with comorbidities. As aforementioned risk factors increase in the pediatric population due to societal and environmental factors, …
Triad Of Acute Pancreatitis Coexisting With Diabetic Ketoacidosis And Very Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Successfully Resolved With Insulin Therapy Alone, Akash Patel, Monica Patel, Yvette Wang
Triad Of Acute Pancreatitis Coexisting With Diabetic Ketoacidosis And Very Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Successfully Resolved With Insulin Therapy Alone, Akash Patel, Monica Patel, Yvette Wang
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is known to cause mild elevations in triglyceride levels.
Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a well-known cause of acute pancreatitis; however, in unique cases, DKA has been shown to cause severe HTG leading to the development of acute pancreatitis (AP).
HTG causing AP only accounts for 1-4% of cases of AP
From the few cases in literature that have reported this triad of DKA, HTG, and AP, even fewer have shown to be successfully treated with insulin therapy alone with the severe degree of HTG that we discuss.
In our case, we have treated a triad of DKA, …

Case Of New Onset Alice In Wonderland Syndrome In Adolescent After Prolonged Hospitalization, Michaela Margolis, Timothy Wong, Richard Hadi

Alice in wonderland syndrome (AIWS) has been described as body image illusions involving distortions of the size, mass, or shape of the patient’s own body or its position in space, often occurring with depersonalization and derealization. Most cases typically affect young children.
Common distortions are micropsia, macropsia, metamorphopsia, and pelopsia.
The term was adopted from the book by Lewis Carroll, wherein the main character perceived her size and shape to change in different scenarios.
These distortions are often expressed as sensory perceptions rather than illusions or hallucinations, and are often distressing to the patient.
AIWS onset has been found to …

Purpose: To describe a case of idiopathic retinal vasculitis.
Methods: Case report and literature review.
Case: A healthy 25-year-old female presented with a one-week history of a large floater in her right eye. Patient’s subjective complaint of floaters, including the scotoma on VF and the FA findings were most consistent with retinal vasculitis displaying predominant venous involvement. However, findings for acute macular neuroretinopathy and multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) were present as well. Autoimmune and infectious disease panels were negative. Neuro consult and brain MRI showed nonspecific, non contributory findings. Several weeks later, following Medrol dose pack, patient reported …
