A Rare Case Of Invasive Adenocarcinoma Of The Duodenum And A Bovel Biliary Stent: A Case Report, Sabastiana Sanz, Nasima Mehraban, Bradley Gustafson, Amjad Awan

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Adenocarcinoma of the duodenum is a rare but aggressive malignancy making up less than 0.5% of gastrointestinal cancer cases (Tuan et al., 2023), (Cloyd, 2016). We present a rare case of invasive adenocarcinoma of the first part of the duodenum and major papilla that required complex biliary stenting. A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for further workup of gastrointestinal bleeding and 30-pound weight loss. Through imaging it was noted he had lymphadenopathy and biliary dilation. Patient underwent multiple gastrointestinal procedures and was endoscopically found to have a circumferential mass within the ampulla. After unsuccessful cannulation during endoscopic retrograde …

Analysis Of Ecmo Usage In Trauma Patients At A Major Level 1 Trauma Center, April Miller, Megan Post, Crescens Pellachia, John Bini, Morgan Collom

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: ECMO has been used for decades in patients where adequate oxygenation could not be achieved using traditional efforts. Despite its increasing use in the trauma setting, there is a lack of published data to support its use and safety. This review will seek to answer among trauma patients who receive ECMO what their common demographics, injuries, co-morbidities, outcomes and adverse events are. METHODS: This is a single-center retrospective chart review conducted at an Level 1 trauma center between 2020 and 2023. Designation as trauma and ECMO utilization were the inclusion criteria. Patients under age 18 and non-trauma ECMO patients …

Identifying Critical Factors In Facilitating The Application Of The Team Stepps Curriculum For Improved Patient Safety In Two Area Skilled Nursing Facilities, Nancy Sang, Jennifer Severance, Sarah Ross, Valerie Agena, Jane Oderberg

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Background: Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) play a crucial role in long-term care for a progressively frail patient demographic. Surveys of SNF staff reveal poorer levels of safety culture compared to their hospital counterparts. Quality of clinical care delivery in SNF remains inconsistent and insufficient evidence-based process of care. Studies demonstrate that team functioning and communication are crucial in changing the clinical practice methods in SNF. TeamSTEPPS is a curriculum designed to enhance team performance in healthcare settings by addressing patient safety issues and improving safety culture. In this study, we implemented the TeamSTEPPS curriculum at two SNFs and obtained staff …

Improving The Screening For Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm At Grand Prairie Internal Medicine Clinic ​, Riddhi H. Patel, Danielle Ford

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is typically defined as aortic enlargement with a diameter of 3.0 cm or larger. The prevalence of AAA has declined over the past 2 decades among screened men 65 years or older in various European countries. The current prevalence of AAA in the United States is unclear because of the low uptake of screening. This QI project will involve MCA residents and Grand Prairie clinic attending to incorporate screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm guidelines used by USPSTF and attempt to encourage all our established and new patients who fit into the criteria for …


Current Trends In School Nursing In Musculoskeletal Injuries And Concussions, Christoffer Amdahl, Hans Drawbert, Sadra Forati, Joshua Allen, Sana Qureshi, Afsha Rais Jan 2024

Current Trends In School Nursing In Musculoskeletal Injuries And Concussions, Christoffer Amdahl, Hans Drawbert, Sadra Forati, Joshua Allen, Sana Qureshi, Afsha Rais

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Background: School nurses are on the front lines of assessing, identifying and treating school age children with a number of health complications. Implementing nursing services in schools have previously demonstrated improved medical care costs for students, less productivity loss for parents, and less productivity loss for teachers. As a result, nursing services in schools provide a cost-beneficial investment of public money, and warrant both financial support from policy makers as well as educational support from local healthcare services. Communicable disease, asthma, musculoskeletal injuries, concussions are common conditions seen in school aged children and a fundamental understanding of these issues …

Effect Of The Intern Survival Book Handbook In Medical City Fort Worth Family Medicine Residency Program, Nancy Sang, Harry Pham, Tammy Nguyen, Zara Soomro, Patrick Feng, Ali Al-Nahi

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Background: The optimization of medical training is a critical concern amid dynamic shifts in both medical and societal landscapes. Research indicates that a substantial proportion of medical trainees experience stress, anxiety, and depression, with an estimated depression rate of 29% among medical residents, compared to 8% among nonphysicians. Furthermore, the suicide rate among physicians is twice that of the general population. Difficulty in adapting to new environments, responsibilities, and training levels exacerbate these challenges. This study evaluates the efficacy of "The Intern Survival Handbook" in mitigating stressors among new trainees, enhancing their work performance, and promoting overall mental health. Methods: …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: What should come to mind when any physician sees dark red spots on the legs? If you answered vasculitis, then you are on the right track. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is defined as small vessel inflammation of the dermal capillaries and venules. The clinical hallmark finding of LCV is palpable purpura (raised, round, purple plaques) on the lower extremities. LCV is confirmed by histopathology showing neutrophilic infiltration in the walls of dermal vasculature. Though LCV is the most common cause of clinical vasculitis, the annual incidence of biopsy-proven LCV is approximately 30-45 per million individuals. LCV typically occurs in adults …

Gut Fermentation Syndrome: Unraveling The Enigma Of Auto-Brewery Syndrome., Jatin Sadarangani, Vaishnavi Singh, Sathish Karmegam Jan 2024

Gut Fermentation Syndrome: Unraveling The Enigma Of Auto-Brewery Syndrome., Jatin Sadarangani, Vaishnavi Singh, Sathish Karmegam

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

A disorder known as "auto-brewery syndrome" or "gut fermentation syndrome" occurs when bacteria or fungus in the urinary, oral, or gastrointestinal tract ferment endogenously, producing ethanol. Patients with auto-brewery syndrome frequently report eating a diet heavy in sugar and carbohydrates and exhibit many of the symptoms and indicators of alcohol intoxication while disputing alcohol consumption. Research on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease indicates that endogenous alcohol synthesis may have bacterial roots; these bacteria may also be the causative agents in GFS. Probiotics, low-carb diets, anti-fungal medications, and antibiotics are currently used as therapies for GFS. Fecal microbiota transplantation may also have …

Mast Cell Colitis Associated With Yersinia Enterocolitica, Olufemi Osikoya, Gregory Brennan Jan 2024

Mast Cell Colitis Associated With Yersinia Enterocolitica, Olufemi Osikoya, Gregory Brennan

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Mast cells (MCs) have many functions including regulation of GI epithelial homeostasis, cross talk of the brain gut axis, host immune defenses, and inflammatory pathways. MCs are found in all layers of the GI tract and have been implicated in various gastrointestinal diseases. Although previously described in the literature, mast cell colitis is not considered a distinct clinical entity. This poses a challenge to the gastroenterologist who encounters such pathologic findings. Case Presentation: This is a case of a 76-year-old woman who was referred to the gastroenterology clinic for evaluation of a new diagnosis of colitis. The patient …

Colon Cancer Symptom Progression In A Non-Adherent Patient: A Case Report, Nasima Mehraban, Bradley Gustafson, Saad Hussain, Amjad Awan

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality and third leading cause of incidence worldwide; accounting for one in ten cancer cases and deaths. Thirty-three percent of people between the age of 50 and 75 are not up to date on screening for colon cancer. Depending on the stage of CRC at the time of presentation, the range of chief complaints that bring patients to seek care for this single etiology is diverse, therefore, a thorough work-up is essential for diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old patient presents to the hospital three times over the course …
