Unveiling The Enigma: A Case Report Of Syndrome Of The Trephined Manifesting As Profound Somnolence, Kyle Drinnon, Muhammad T. Mourad, Muhammad Siddique

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

The Syndrome of Trephined (SoT), also known as, "sinking skin flap syndrome," is a rare neurological complication that can occur after craniectomy. It can manifest with various reversible neurological symptoms such as headaches, mood changes, cognitive impairment, and focal neurological signs. The underlying pathophysiology of SoT is not completely understood but is believed to result from changes in intracranial and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics due to the loss of the protective cranial enclosure following craniectomy. Despite its rarity, healthcare providers should consider SoT as a possible diagnosis in patients who develop neurological deficits after undergoing decompressive craniectomy, even if their symptoms …

Bilateral Spontaneous Osteonecrosis Of The Knee (Sponk) In Young Male: A Case Report, Hans Drawbert, Mason Poffenbarger, Joshua Payne

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SPONK) is a relatively uncommon disease consisting of a focal, subchondral lesion thought to be a subchondral insufficiency fracture that has progressed to collapse and may lead to end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. There are several treatment options, including nonsurgical and surgical measures but almost 80% of cases end up requiring surgery, usually consisting of unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty. However, despite these treatment options, there remains no good option for young patients who present with SPONK in large areas of their distal femur or disease in both medial and lateral condyles. Case …

Implementing A Standardized Screening Algorithm For Iron Deficiency Anemia In Pregnancy, Ariel Moskowitz, Nicole Tenzel, Joshua Mangels, Lyndsay Millican

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

OBJECTIVE: Anemia in pregnancy is a global health problem and complicates >40% of pregnancies. Anemia is associated with significant maternal and fetal complications including low birth weight, preterm delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, ICU admissions, need for blood transfusion, and maternal morbidity. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the CDC recommend screening for anemia at the first prenatal visit and again between 24 and 28 weeks gestation. The aim of this quality improvement project is to improve compliance of screening for anemia in pregnancy amongst the providers of Medical City Women's Care. METHODS: Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) quality improvement …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: Hospital acquired Clostridium difficile infection are one of the costliest hospital acquired infections. Over the past year, there were 19 C diff cases. Reasons for this uptick in cases from previous years could be waiting too long for collection (where a patient has C diff on admission, but does not receive testing until several days later), antibiotics, environmental (for example, using the same toilet brush to clean bathrooms on the floor as well as the bathroom in a C diff patient's room, cleaning high touch areas less than two times during the day, etc.), or staff education. From our …

Angioedema Linked To Combination Pill Trandolapril/Verapamil, Aadil Bhutta, Sana Khan, Monica Dhiman, Udit Bhatt, Akinjide Onifade

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Angioedema is the swelling of deeper layers of skin caused by a build-up fluid, oftentimes due to the culmination of immune system activation against allergens. There are several causes of angioedema, including animal dander, exposure to various foods, insect bites, and medications such as Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). This swelling primarily presents periorbital and periorally, however can also less-commonly affect the airway. Angioedema can be life-threatening if involving the throat and larynx given the potential of respiratory airway compromise. This case presents a patient who had been on an ACE-ARB for almost 2 decades, …

Solitary Fibrous Tumor, Not Always The Pleura, Not Always Benign, Robert Bender, Susana Ferra

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Introduction: Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) is rare, especially in locations outside the pleura, and it can mimic benign mesenchymal tumors. Misdiagnosis, leading to inadequate treatment, can increase the risk of metastasis and recurrence. Dedifferentiated SFT (DD-SFT), is the most aggressive subtype.

Case Summary: A 45-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing, non-painful, palpable, exophytic right thigh mass. CT revealed an 8 x 7.4 x 7.0 cm heterogenous mass abutting the underlying muscle. His care team made a presumptive diagnosis of sarcoma, and referred him to a local oncologic surgeon who performed a radical excision and submitted the tumor to Pathology. …

The Role Of Ercp In Post Covid-19 Cholangiopathy: A Systemic Review Of Published Case Reports, Olufemi Osikoya, Gregory Brennan

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Post COVID-19 cholangiopathy (CC) is a rare complication of COVID-19 infection. It is characterized by abnormal elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase, with evidence of bile duct injury (via imaging or biopsy) in the absence of other causes. Not much is known regarding the role of ERCP in post COVID-19 cholangiopathy. We sought to better understand the findings, interventions and outcomes in patients with CC undergoing ERCP. Methods: We searched Pubmed, Scopus and Embase from December 2019 to present. Search words included "post-Covid-19 cholangiopathy," and “ERCP.” Data on patient characteristics, COVID-19 infection, imaging, ERCP fluoroscopic findings, ERCP interventions, …
