Acute Mesenteric Ischemia In Patients With Covid-19, Tristan Fun, Natalie Hurlock, Danielle Ford

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Patient with COVID-19 are more likely to have thrombotic events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). There have been many case reports of patient with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in the setting of COVID-19. Incidences of AMI occur in about 0.1% of acute hospital admissions. Short term mortality from AMI range from 26-86%. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are essential, yet diagnosis is difficult and AMI can often go unrecognized as a cause of death. This study attempted to establish the risk of patients with COVID-19 having acute mesenteric ischemia and compare …

Stop That Bloody Cough: A Case Of Hemoptysis After Intrapleural Tpa Administration, Khizir Qureshi, Mark Cheneler, Carlos Bahrami

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Congestive heart failure is a morbid condition with a myriad of pathologic sequelae. Recurrent accumulations of fluid in the pleural space serve as a nidus for infection. The combination of CHF-induced pleural effusions and concomitant pneumonia are a recipe for disaster as bacteria can translocate to form parapneumonic effusions with empyemas as potential complications. Empyemas are one of many etiologies of exudative pleural effusions and are treated with complete drainage of the infected pleural fluid; however, loculations create a barrier for thoracostomy drainage. Since the MIST2 trial in 2011, intrapleural alteplase and dornase alfa have been utilized as …

Water pollution is a global issue that has been ongoing since 1800 (NOAA,2024). Water pollution occurs when harmful substances, mostly chemicals or microorganisms, contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, creating harmful water quality and rendering it toxic to humans and the environment. D.C. has faced ongoing challenges with lead contamination in its drinking water. As of 2024, D.C. Water still has tens of thousands of lead service lines (D.C. Water, 2024). Lead is a poisonous metal in small amounts in the earth's crust. On May 8, 2024, D.C. issued a boil water advisory due …

Feeding The Future: Reducing Food Insecurity In Southeast Dc, Kimaya Davis, Brooke Oliver, Noam Procunier, Kateryn Rivera, Anthony Ventura

DC Health and Academic Prep Program (DC HAPP)

A food desert is a region where people have limited access to healthful or affordable food usually due to low income and low vehicle access. Food insecurity also has to do with food deserts as food insecurity is a lack of safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development to live a healthy life. Food deserts are relevant because without access to healthy foods people living in food deserts might be at a higher risk of diet related conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Research from the American Board of Physician Specialities suggests that eating local can help …

Review Of Current Dual-Antiplatelet And Triple Therapy Prescribing Practices At Providence Medical Group, Gina Kim, Christine Doran, Lauren Powell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Approximately 10% of patients with recent percutaneous intervention (PCI) have concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) and others may have concomitant venous thromboembolism (VTE). This makes choosing the optimal antithrombotic regimen challenging. The ACC published a 2020 decision pathway to guide safe and evidence-based use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant combinations for certain patients. These situations include patients with prior AF on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, patients with new-onset AF requiring anticoagulation in a patient already on antiplatelet therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with prior VTE on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, and patients with new or …

Impact Of Injectable Calcitonin Non-Formulary Status On Treatment Of Hypercalcemia Of Malignancy In Hospitalized Patients, Ngoc Nguyen, Pamela Levine, Patricia Leo, Andrew Jarrell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Purpose: Evidence suggests there is limited benefit in using injectable calcitonin for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy. Based on this evidence and in the setting of increased drug costs, many institutions have opted to either restrict or remove calcitonin from their formulary. The purpose of this study was to describe the patient populations receiving treatment for hypercalcemia of malignancy and to evaluate the clinical and financial impact of injectable calcitonin being removed from formulary in an acute care setting. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was reviewed by the Providence Institutional Review Board. Patients were identified through EPIC electronic medical …

Assessment Of Appropriate Anticoagulation And Rates Of Bte In Ambulatory Oncology Patients Using A Validated Risk Assessment Model (Khorana Scote), David Page, Alan Su, Nikki Moxon, Staci Mellinger, Tracy L. Kelly, Katherine Lyon, Pharmd, Ian Ingram, Stephanie Matta, Pharmd, Bcop

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Cancer associated venous thromboembolisms (VTE) are associated with higher health care resource utilization (number of hospitalizations, hospital length of stay, inpatient/outpatient medical services) and can complicate treatment of cancer. The Khorana Predictive Model for Chemotherapy-Associated VTE is a validated risk assessment model that determines a patient’s risk of developing VTEs and provides recommendations for starting prophylactic anticoagulation in ambulatory oncology patients. The Khorana Score is composed of various patient characteristics including site of primary cancer, prechemotherapy platelet count, hemoglobin level, prechemotherapy leukocyte count, and BMI. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) supportive care guidelines recommend prophylactically starting an anticoagulant if …

Titratable, Weight-Based Cisatracurium Infusions For Ventilation Synchrony In Ards, Nanako Miimi, Pharmd, Celine Munoz

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Cisatracurium is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used for paralysis in paitents with acute respiratory distress syndrome on mechanical ventilation. Paralysis prevents ventilator dyssynchrony and reduces patient’s work of breathing, which decreases the risk of pneumothorax. On November 1, 2023, PSVMC critical care units transitioned from fixed dosing of cisatracurium for ARDS to a weight-based, titratable dosing protocol. A single-center retrospective cohort study demonstrated cisatracurium titrated using train-of-four was associated with similar ventilatory and clinical outcomes with three folds reduction in cisatracrurium dose in comparison to fixed dose strategy. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the drug …
