Improving Colon & Rectal Cancer Screening At Medical City North Hills Clinic, Basil Nduma, Sharvani Raguthu, Gurunath Subrahmanyam, John Sturgeon

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Despite its severity, fewer than half of eligible Americans undergo annual screening. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends CRC screening from age 45 to 75, with personalized assessments for those aged 76 to 85. The current CRC screening rate at the Medical City North Hills Internal Medicine Residents’ Clinic is 9.3%, significantly below the target rate of over 66%. Objective: This project aimed to increase the CRC screening rate from 9.3% to over 66% at the Medical City North Hills Internal Medicine Residents Clinic, in …

Robotic Whipple Procedure, Chris Robert, Soomal Memon, Umar Butt, Furrukh Jabbar

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive tumor with surgery being the corner stone of multidisciplinary treatment. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a technically demanding procedure associated with significant morbidity. Case presentation: 70-year-old man with a past history of hypertension presented with jaundice, dark urine and a total bilirubin of 24. His CT scan showed biliary and pancreatic ducal dilation. An EUS revealed a 2cm pancreatic mass with an intact interface between the mass and splenoportal confluence, the biopsy was suggestive of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. We performed a Robotic Whipple procedure. Robotic Whipple surgery is superior in meticulous dissection of the retro pancreatic tunnel. …

A Hidden Source Of Ostomy Bleeding: Meckel Diverticulum, Shiva Morisetty, Ezekiel Kapusiak, Kumar Shah

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

Adult Meckel diverticulum can present atypically compared to classic childhood Meckel diverticulum. Given the increased likelihood of concurrent medical conditions in adults, it is often overlooked in the differential for lower gastrointestinal bleeding. We report a 61-year-old male with rectal adenocarcinoma status post low anterior resection and diverting loop ileostomy who presented repeatedly with hematochezia via the ostomy. Prior episodes were managed conservatively. During the index admission, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and ileoscopy did not identify a bleeding source; a clip was placed near the suspected site. Interventional radiology was consulted for mesenteric angiography. Superior mesenteric angiography demonstrated a tortuous aberrant ileal branch …

A Case Of Gastric Outlet Obstruction Secondary To A Gallstone, Mahesh Tummala, Adam Devine, Akash Tummala, Livasky Concepcion-Perez

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

Introduction: Bouveret syndrome is characterized by a gallstone passing through a bilioenteric fistula causing gastric outlet obstruction and represents 1-3% of gallstone obstructions. Fistualization occurs when chronic inflammation from the gallstone on the gallbladder wall leads to ischemia and perforates into the bowel. Over 60% of patients with cholelithiasis are asymptomatic. Biliary colic is the most common presentation in symptomatic patients. A biliary fistula occurs in 3-5% of cases and just 7-10% of these cases lead to gallstone ileus. The highest prevalence is among women of advanced age. Typical presentation is with general symptoms of nausea/vomiting and vague abdominal pain. …

National Outcomes Of Pre-Emptive Tips In Patients With Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure And Variceal Bleeding, Aya Akhras, Waseem Wahood, Azizullah Beran, Bisher Sawaf, Asad Ur Rahman, David Goldberg, Muhammed U. Shahid

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

Background

Pre-emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (pTIPS), defined as placement within 72 hours of initial endoscopic therapy for an active variceal bleed, has been proposed as a strategy to reduce rebleeding and improve survival in high-risk patients with cirrhosis. We evaluated outcomes of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) who presented with variceal bleeding and underwent therapeutic endoscopy (EGD) with or without the addition of pre-emptive TIPS.

Methods

The Nationwide Readmissions Database (2010–2022) was queried for patients with ACLF using previously validated algorithms admitted with variceal upper GI bleeding who received endoscopic intervention. Patients were stratified into two groups: therapeutic …

Turmeric, Red Yeast Paste, And Statins: A Recipe For Dili, John V. Nahas, Sinay Ceballos, Franklin Kasmin

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

Introduction Drug induced liver injury (DILI) contributes to a significant portion of acute liver injuries and acute liver failure in the west. DILI accounts for approximately 11% of acute liver failure cases in the US according to ACG. Insulting agents are numerous and well documented in the NIH LiverTox database, however the rarity and complexity of individual agents is a matter of ongoing study. Case Description/Methods A 52 year old man with PMH of HTN and HLD presents for a 2 week history of abdominal swelling, bilateral lower extremity swelling, decreased appetite, and positional shortness of breath. He endorses occasionally …
