An Exploration Of Drivers Of Sepsis Outcomes In Racial And Ethnic Minority Populations, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders Apr 2026

An Exploration Of Drivers Of Sepsis Outcomes In Racial And Ethnic Minority Populations, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

RATIONALE: Race and ethnicity affect sepsis outcomes in unclear ways. Existing data is conflicting, with some studies suggesting minority patients do worse, while others did not show a difference in outcomes between these groups. We sought to investigate whether inequalities exist in sepsis outcomes for different racial and ethnic groups in our large hospital system and to characterize how they may manifest. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults diagnosed with sepsis and discharged from any of Providence’s 52 hospitals between January 1 and December 31, 2023. We grouped patients into ten different race/ethnicity groups including White, Black, …

Behavior Change In A Young Woman: The Secret Lies In The Ovarian Tumor, Matthew Moritz, Md, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Olivia L Snir, Stephanie Griffith, Md

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Autoimmune encephalitis is a rare immune-mediated disorder characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms. Anti-NMDA receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis, the most common subtype, affects approximately 1 in 1.5 million people annually. We present a case of a young female with new-onset hallucinations, behavioral changes, and personality disturbance. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old female with remote methamphetamine use and recent trauma presented with acute mental status changes, aggression, emotional lability, and hallucinations. Vitals were normal; on exam she appeared confused, agitated, and displayed unusual behavior, including hallucinations. Initial evaluation revealed mild leukocytosis, but otherwise normal urine drug screen, chest radiograph, TSH, ANA, VDRL, heavy metal …


Ecmo As A Bridge To Lung Transplant For Refractory Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair Apr 2026

Ecmo As A Bridge To Lung Transplant For Refractory Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA-5) antibody is most frequently associated with dermatomyositis with various degrees of clinical manifestations including rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD), inflammatory arthritis, vasculopathy, and other cutaneous findings. Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is frequently associated with RP-ILD and has high mortality rates. Here we present a case of anti-MDA5 associated RPILD but without other features of dermatomyositis that did not respond to standard immunosuppressive therapy. A 41-year-old woman with recently diagnosed interstitial lung disease and polyarthritis previously on methotrexate presented with progressive dyspnea and worsening hypoxemic respiratory failure. She was previously admitted for respiratory failure two …


Hydroxocobalamin In Septic Shock Management – Should It Be Introduced Sooner?, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Cameron Miles Long, Md, Omar Pandhair Apr 2026

Hydroxocobalamin In Septic Shock Management – Should It Be Introduced Sooner?, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Cameron Miles Long, Md, Omar Pandhair

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Treating sepsis involves timely antibiotics, adequate fluid resuscitation, and vasopressor support if shock develops. Plasma concentrations of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfides are elevated in early sepsis, contributing to vasoplegia,1 a pathology that isn’t addressed by vasopressors. High-dose hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12) does, and therefore, has long been explored as a potential adjunct to vasopressors, though no consensus or official guidelines for its use have been published. Case Report: A 26-year-old man who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia a few months prior presented to the emergency room for fever, weakness, and emesis. He was found to be profoundly hypotensive …

Hypercalcemic Crisis After Open Mitral Valve Replacement, Andrew Sunwood, Do, Jason Heino

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

59. Hypercalcemic Crisis After Open Mitral Valve Replacement Andrew Sunwood, DO Background: Hypercalcemic crisis is a rare manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism characterized by a sudden increase in serum calcium levels to >14 mg/dL with symptoms of hypercalcemia including adverse gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal pain, and even predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias. There is only one other documented case of hypercalcemic crisis occurring after open heart surgery. Case information: 69-year-old female with a history of primary osteoporosis on alendronate and valvular heart failure presented for mitral valve replacement. Preoperative lab work did not show evidence of electrolyte abnormalities. She under- went open bioprosthetic …


An Atypical Presentation Of Metastatic Gastric Adenocarcinoma Due To Pulmonary Lymphangitic Carcinomatosis, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair Apr 2026

An Atypical Presentation Of Metastatic Gastric Adenocarcinoma Due To Pulmonary Lymphangitic Carcinomatosis, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (PLC) accounts for approximately 8% of pulmonary metastases and is primarily associated with breast, lung, and gastric cancers. Chest radiographs are often nonspecific and normal in approximately 50% of cases. We present a case of PLC as an initial presentation of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma. A 57-year-old White woman with prior tobacco use, asthma, and multiple sclerosis on Natalizumab presented with three months of progressive dyspnea and cough. She was evaluated multiple times and treated with various antibiotics and inhalers for presumed bronchitis. Despite this, her symptoms worsened, prompting hospital evaluation. She was tachycardic and markedly hypoxemic on …


Pulmonary Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, Hannah Kirk, Do, Omar Pandhair Apr 2026

Pulmonary Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, Hannah Kirk, Do, Omar Pandhair

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an intra -abdominal cancer occurring in one to four out of one million patients. It begins as a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix that implants on other peritoneal surfaces, spreading into gelatinous ascites. Treatment consists of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and cytoreductive surgery (CRS). Extra -abdominal metastases are rare. We present the case of a patient who underwent treatment for PMP and was found to have lung nodules over a decade later. Case Presentation: A 73 -year -old woman with pseudomyxoma peritonei presented to the emergency department with progressive dyspnea and unintentional weight loss. Twenty …


The Rash After The Remedy, Elaine Chen, Md Apr 2026

The Rash After The Remedy, Elaine Chen, Md

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) is a widely prescribed and generally well-tolerated antibiotic. Cutaneous reactions occur in up to 4% of patients, including morbilliform rash, urticaria, DRESS, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. More rarely, TMP/SMX can trigger leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), a small-vessel vasculitis characterized by neutrophilic infiltration, fibrinoid necrosis, and leukocytoclasia. LCV typically manifests as palpable purpura on dependent areas. While often skin-limited, systemic involvement may occur. We present a case of TMP/SMX-induced LCV with multi-organ features. Case description: A 53-year-old healthy male presented to urgent care with dysuria. Urine culture grew pan-sensitive E. coli, and he completed a 7-day course …


When Jaundice Isn’T Just The Liver’S Fault: A Chilly Case Of Cold Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shahana Baig-Lewis, Md, Mph Apr 2026

When Jaundice Isn’T Just The Liver’S Fault: A Chilly Case Of Cold Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shahana Baig-Lewis, Md, Mph

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD), a subtype of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), is characterized by IgM autoantibodies that target red blood cell antigens at low temperatures, leading to agglutination in cooler peripheral tissues and hemolysis. Predominately directed against the “I” or “i” antigens, cold agglutinins are commonly associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and infectious mononucleosis. Distinguishing warm AIHA from CAD can be challenging. Definitive diagnosis relies on antibody testing, with warm AIHA primarily involving IgG and CAD involving IgM. We report a case of CAD initially misattributed to drug-induced liver injury in the setting of a viral upper respiratory infection. Case …


Eosinophilic Fasciitis Masquerading As Myositis: A Diagnostic Challenge, Jennifer L. Wong, Do, Elizabeth S. Ballner, Do, Mary Elizabeth Swift-Taylor Apr 2026

Eosinophilic Fasciitis Masquerading As Myositis: A Diagnostic Challenge, Jennifer L. Wong, Do, Elizabeth S. Ballner, Do, Mary Elizabeth Swift-Taylor

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), or Shulman’s disease, is a rare disorder of unknown etiology and poorly understood pathogenesis. It is characterized by fibroblast activation and interleukin-driven eosinophilia. Early clinical features include limb or trunk erythema, non-pitting edema, and progressive fascial thickening, often producing an “orange peel” appearance. Eosinophilia is a prominent laboratory finding in the early phase, but diagnosis often requires a full-thickness skin-to-muscle biopsy. Systemic corticosteroids are first-line therapy, with methotrexate as the steroid -sparing agent for refractory disease. We present a unique and diagnostically challenging case of EF confirmed by histopathology. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old man presented with …


Closing The Gap: Standardizing Sepsis Management To Address Racial Disparities Across Oregon Providence Hospitals, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders, Md, Facp Apr 2026

Closing The Gap: Standardizing Sepsis Management To Address Racial Disparities Across Oregon Providence Hospitals, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders, Md, Facp

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Sepsis is a time-sensitive, life-threatening medical emergency affecting approximately 1.7 million adults annually in the United States, contributing to nearly 270,000 deaths and over $24 billion in healthcare expenditures. Delays in recognition and initiation of treatment can significantly increase mortality. Previous studies have identified persistent racial disparities in sepsis care, including lower rates of recognition as the principal diagnosis and delayed antibiotic initiation for Black patients compared with White patients. In alignment with Providence’s mission to provide compassionate, equitable care, Oregon Providence hospitals implemented a standardized “Sepsis Order Set” in all Emergency Departments (ED) to reduce treatment delays and …
