Mimicking Malignancy: A Case Of Non-Traumatic Myositis Ossificans In The Calf, Fatima Safi, Artur Amirkhanyan, Amnah Andrabi, Madeline Doucet

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Objective: This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of non-traumatic myositis ossificans (MO), a rare benign heterotopic ossifying lesion, and emphasizes its potential to mimic malignancy. Case Presentation: An 18-year-old female with no trauma history presented with a one-month history of progressive right calf pain, ankle weakness (4/5 strength), and difficulty ambulating. Initial ultrasound suggested a hematoma, but the persistence of symptoms prompted advanced imaging. CTA revealed arterial extravasation, while MRI identified a heterogeneously enhancing soleus muscle mass, raising suspicion for sarcoma. Core biopsy demonstrated focal bone formation, mitotically active stroma, and a "zone phenomenon" (central cellularity with peripheral osteoid …


The Intersection Of Hypophysitis And Central Diabetes Insipidus: A Clinical Case Report, Sanjana Kesireddy, Brina Gonzalez, Mohan Sengodan Jan 2025

The Intersection Of Hypophysitis And Central Diabetes Insipidus: A Clinical Case Report, Sanjana Kesireddy, Brina Gonzalez, Mohan Sengodan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

INTRODUCTION: Hypophysitis can cause damage to the posterior pituitary, which in turn impairs the production or release of ADH, leading to the symptoms of central diabetes insipidus. Without enough ADH, the kidneys cannot concentrate urine, resulting in the symptoms of excessive thirst and urination seen in central diabetes insidious. CASE PRESENTATION: 27 year old female presents with excessive thirst, headache, nausea and vomiting. Patient had increased urine output since endoscopic trans sphenoidal resection of pituatary mass. She was started on desmpressin 0.2mg orally three times a day. Based on urine specific gravity and urine output per hour, IV desmopressin was …

Cannabis Induced 2nd Degree Av Block, Shivani Gandhi, Vineeth Lekkala, Muhammad Suleman, Anvitha Manduva

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Cannabis use, both medical and non-medical, has seen a marked increase following the growing trend of legalization. While the immediate effects of cannabis on mental and physiological states are well-documented, its potential impact on the cardiovascular system remains an area of growing concern. Cannabis-induced arrhythmias, particularly atrioventricular (AV) block, are rare but potentially life-threatening events that can present in young, otherwise healthy individuals (Heckle et al., 2018). This case highlights the importance of recognizing cannabis as a potential contributing factor in the development of AV block.

Traumatic Rupture Of Gall Bladder After Blunt Trauma, Chris Robert, Alicia Lay

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Gallbladder injury accounts for less than 1% of the patient presenting with blunt abdominal trauma, due to its protected location in the undersurface of the liver. Case report: A 41-year-old male presented to the emergency department after a motor vehicle collision. Patient was hemodynamically stable; on exam, patient had focal tenderness in the lower abdomen. Initial lab results revealed elevated blood alcohol of 302 mg/dl, elevated lactate of 3.9 mmol/l, a white blood cell count of 6.76 K/mm3, and a hemoglobin of 15.2 g/dl. Patient was pan-scanned as per trauma protocol. A computed tomography scan revealed a mesenteric hematoma …

The Effect Of High Frequency Low Amplitude (Hfla) Vibration On Blood Flow - Literature Review, Zara Soomro, Patrick Feng, Olufunmilola Adeleye, Yi Lei, Aaishah Vohra, Malinda Hansen, Michele Mccarroll

North Texas Research Forum 2025

BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers are a major source of preventable morbidity in adults with diabetes; however, complications impose an increased burden on patients and healthcare systems. Vibration therapy is a potential new modality for DFU treatment, which may be more accessible to individuals. Literature pertaining to the effect of high-frequency low amplitude (HFLA) vibrotherapy on wound healing needs a literature review to help synthesize and integrate the empirical studies' results. The purpose of this study is to review how vibration physiology relates to skin blood flow which impacts wound healing based on previous studies. METHODS: A selective literature review was …

A Case Of Severe Synodic Stenosis In A Patient With Granalomatosis With Polyangitis Requiring Tracheostomy, Yousuf Sherwani, Mohan Sengodan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is characterized by vasculitis of small and medium sized blood vessels and granulomatous lesions of the upper respiratory tract. A rare condition associated with GPA, subglottic stenosis, presents in about 20% of cases on inpatient GPA. Symptoms such as stridor, hoarseness, dyspnea and dysphagia are hall marks of subglottic stenosis. Here we present the case of a male patient with life threatening subglottic stenosis that required tracheostomy.

Humoral Influences On The Heart: A Case Of Overt Hypothyroidism And Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Acute Heart Failure, Shana-Kay Lambert-Johnson, Rui Zhang, Brian Yu, Tasaduq Mir

North Texas Research Forum 2025

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) affects approximately 7 in 100,000 adults annually, with a mortality rate of 50%. It is typically idiopathic, progressive, and irreversible. However, in the context of hypothyroidism, DCM can be reversible. Hypothyroid-induced DCM with coexisting systolic dysfunction is a rare occurrence. This case report presents an exceptional instance of this phenomenon, highlighting the critical role of thyroid hormone replacement in improving patient outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old female with a medical history of hypothyroidism (post-thyroidectomy) was transferred for higher-level care due to new-onset heart failure. Over the past five months, she experienced worsening dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, …

The “Ob Guide”: A Proposed Adjunct To The “Intern Survival Guide” And Its Effect On Resident Wellness, Aaishah Vohra, Lola Adeleye, Zara Soomro, Maria Crompton, Tasaduq Mir

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Background: Residency is defined by constant change. The expectations, specialty, preceptor teaching styles and varied knowledge sets needed for each rotation differ greatly. As a result, residents are forced to adapt their learning styles quickly, to ensure they optimize the small amount of time allotted to them. Multiple studies have shown the high levels of stress, depression, anxiety and impostor syndrome that run rampant throughout medical learners, residents included. Our residency program has recently started a new obstetrics rotation with many requirements still unknown. This study evaluates the efficacy of the update to the “The Intern Survival Handbook” in mitigating …

Improvement In Prenatal Education And Involvement In Patient Care, Miranda Ibrahim, Christelle Reeves, Timothy Kremer Jan 2025

Improvement In Prenatal Education And Involvement In Patient Care, Miranda Ibrahim, Christelle Reeves, Timothy Kremer

North Texas Research Forum 2025

BACKGROUND: While the attempt is to educate the patient (and their family members) and empower them in their medical decision making, integration of birth plans and discussion of such plans is not routinely implemented by most obstetrical providers. There is currently no standardized approach to the education and birth plan development/or the obstetrical patients. The goal of this project, therefore, is to develop a standardized approach to discussion of birth plans and, albeit indirectly, allow for an opportunity for education for obstetrical patients. METHODS: On a daily basis, through birth plan discussions with patients during routine obstetrical visits, and via …
