Cutaneous Manifestations Of Nutritional Deficiencies In The Context Of Food Deserts Of United States., Justin P Canakis, Shane M. Swink Do, Nicholas P Valle, Diana A. Rivers Do, Kristina M. Lim Do, Steven Oberlender Md, Phd, Stephen M. Purcell Do, Cynthia L. Bartus Md

Department of Medicine

Food deserts exist due to a multitude of factors ranging from socioeconomic status, racial disparities, geography, cost, and healthful food access. Given the vast biological function of vitamins and minerals, the clinical presentation for nutritional deficiencies ranges from benign to life-threatening. Often, the first indicators of underlying nutritional deficiencies are cutaneous manifestations. The first patient case is a 36-year-old female at 25 weeks gestation with a pruritic and painful rash that began in the genital region and spread centrifugally to her legs. The second patient case is a 42-year-old male with a pruritic rash that began at his abdomen and …

Utilization Of The Lempert Maneuver For Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo In The Emergency Department., Vanessa Hwu, Arielle Burris, Jessica R Pavolko, Daniel Sawyer Pt, Dpt, Marna R. Greenberg Do, Mph, Facep, David B. Burmeister Do, Facep, Cpe

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 …

Impact Of Delayed Pain To Needle And Variable Door To Needle Time On In-Hospital Complications In Patients With St-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Who Underwent Thrombolysis: A Single-Center Experience., Arshad Muhammad Iqbal, Syed Farrukh Jamal, Adnan Ahmed, Hassan Khan, Waqar Khan, Faisal Ahmed, Ramchandani Santosh Md, Muhammad Salman Ghazni, Ateeq Mubarik, Bashir Hanif

Department of Medicine

Background Myocardial infarction is a life-threatening event, and timely intervention is essential to improve patient outcomes and mortality. Previous studies have shown that the time to thrombolysis should be less than 30 minutes of the patient's arrival at the emergency room. Pain-to-needle time is a time from onset of chest pain to the initiation of thrombolysis, and door-to-needle time is a time between arrival to the emergency room to initiation of thrombolytic treatment. Ideally, the target for door-to-needle time should be less than 30 minutes; however, it is unclear if the door-to-needle time has a significant impact on patients presenting …

Trastuzumab Associated With Recurrent Severe Thrombocytopenia And Successful Use Of Pertuzumab Monotherapy., Mallorie L Huff, Joshua A. Kalter Ms3, Ramona E. Chase Crnp, Ranju Gupta

Hematology-Medical Oncology Division

Trastuzumab is a mainstay chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/neu-positive breast cancer that, though generally well-tolerated, is classically associated with side effects like cardiotoxicity. Cytopenias can be seen but are generally secondary to other chemotherapeutic agents used in conjunction with trastuzumab. Herein, we present a case of recurrent severe thrombocytopenia following trastuzumab use that resolved following discontinuation. Our patient then finished a year of maintenance therapy with pertuzumab alone and is still in remission four years later. This is the eleventh report of this severe adverse effect described in the literature. This …

Loperamide-Induced Cardiac Events: Case Reports And Review., Vivek Modi, Matthew Krinock, Ravi V. Desai Md, Steven Stevens, Sudip Nanda

Cardiology Division

Reports of cardiac arrhythmia secondary to loperamide toxicity have become increasingly common in the literature. We present two patients in their mid-20s, each having overdosed on loperamide and subsequently manifesting life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias not otherwise explained by known pathology. An analysis of the limited research available indicates that loperamide's capacity to block ion channels may be responsible for these events. A better mechanistic understanding of loperamide's effects can help inform clinical management of patients with these life-threatening symptoms as at this time no set guidelines for management have yet been established.

Cardiology Division

BACKGROUND: Single-center studies suggest that implementation of multidisciplinary cardiogenic shock (CS) teams is associated with improved CS survival.

OBJECTIVES: The aim was to characterize practice patterns and outcomes in the management of CS across multiple centers with versus without shock teams.

METHODS: The Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network is a multicenter network of cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) in North America. All consecutive medical admissions to each CICU (n = 24) were captured during annual 2-month collection periods (2017-2019; n = 6,872). Shock management and CICU mortality among centers with versus without shock teams were compared using inverse probability weighting. …
