Brucella Melitensis-Induced Transaminitis., Rajesh Essrani Md, Anastasia Shnitser Md

Department of Medicine

Brucellosis is infrequently reported in the United States and is mostly an occupational hazard among workers engaged in livestock raising and processing. It is a systemic infectious disease and can involve the liver in varying ways, ranging from benign subclinical increases in serum aminotransferase levels to ominous chronic suppurative disease. It is endemic in many countries, primarily those of the Mediterranean region. It is usually treated with antibiotics. We present a case of a 37-year-old female who developed

Use Of Botulinum Toxin A To Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Raynaud's Phenomenon., Thrisha K Potluri, Frank G Lee, Ethan Song, Sean J. Wallace Md, Nathan F. Miller Md

Department of Surgery

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a vasospastic disorder of the digital blood vessels leading to pain, paresthesias, and pallor in response to cold or stress. RP can develop secondary to a number of pathologies or factors, including the use of chemotherapy agents. Typical first-line therapies for secondary RP may be contraindicated in patients with certain comorbidities. Here, we discuss a case in which botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) was used to treat chemotherapy-induced RP in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We provide a review of the existing literature on the clinical course and treatment modalities, including the use of …

Spontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome In An Adenocarcinoma Of Unknown Origin., Joshua A. Kalter Ms3, Jamie Allen Do, Yuchen Yang Do, Tyler Willing Do, Elizabeth M. Evans Do

Department of Emergency Medicine

Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome (STLS) is a rare oncologic emergency caused by massive cancer cell lysis or necrosis without a precipitating factor. Although tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is most commonly associated with hematologic malignancies, a small number of cases in solid tumor malignancies have been reported. We present a case of spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in a 77-year-old female with a widely metastatic, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of unknown origin. She presented in distributive shock, and laboratory testing at admission revealed acute renal failure, high anion gap metabolic acidosis, hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hypocalcemia. Rasburicase and continuous renal replacement therapy were …

A 10-Year-Old With Frequent, Disruptive, And Unexplained Night Awakenings, Sameh S. Morkous Md, Faan

Department of Pediatrics

A 10-year-old female presented to the sleep clinic for a second opinion about her epilepsy diagnosis. She had been treated with antiepileptic medication but her events persisted. The child would wake up several times every night speaking nonsense words, appear confused to her family, and then go back to sleep. A video of the polysomnography (PSG) showed the patient having two of her typical events. The patient was eventually diagnosed with confusional arousal (CoA) secondary to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The nocturnal events resolved after her OSA was treated. This case highlights an atypical clinical presentation for a type of …


Accuracy Of Psychiatrists' Assessment Of Medication Adherence In An Outpatient Setting., Katherine B. Martin Md Dec 2020

Accuracy Of Psychiatrists' Assessment Of Medication Adherence In An Outpatient Setting., Katherine B. Martin Md

Department of Psychiatry

BACKGROUND: Many patients have uncontrolled psychiatric symptoms because they are not taking their medication as prescribed. Psychiatrists may have difficulty accurately assessing medication adherence, which is important because it helps guide them in how they prescribe. If nonadherence is the cause of uncontrolled symptoms, then strategies to improve adherence are advised. However, if nonadherence is not the cause, then the usual course of action would be to intensify or modify the medication regimen. Knowing whether nonadherence is a factor at the time of an appointment could help guide clinical decision making in real-time.

METHODS: A cohort of established patients in …

Ventricular Septal Aneurysm Mimicking Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass In A Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect., Nikhil A. Mehta Md, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, Sara Godil Md, Ghulam Akbar Md, Raman Dusaj Md, Neeraj Shah

Cardiology Division

A 50-year-old man presented with an episode of chest pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed the presence of a large ventricular septal aneurysm partially closing a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, prolapsing into the right ventricular outflow tract, and mimicking a mass. We illustrate the diagnostic approach and management of such ventricular septal aneurysms. (

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Induced By Immune Checkpoint Inhibitiors: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature., Zeeshan Ali Md, Muhammad Usman Zafar, Zachary Wolfe, Faisal Akbar, Bradley Lash

Hematology-Medical Oncology Division

In recent years, the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in cancer treatment has rapidly expanded. In randomized clinical trials, these agents have demonstrated clinical efficacy in extending survival and increasing response rates. Immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) involving various organs have been frequently narrated. Herein, we present a case report of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) as a rare side effect of nivolumab, plus ipilimumab, in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A review of the literature for other case reports of TTP during treatment with ICIs was also performed. Our aim is to elucidate the significance of early …
