Multidisciplinary Management For Large And Difficult Choledocholithiasis: The Role Of Choledochotomy, Jilpa Shah, Balu Chandra

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm is a rare sequela of atherosclerosis, trauma, and conditions of chronic inflammation. Standard treatments include antiplatelet medications, open resection, or endovascular stenting. Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has become a well-recognized alternative treatment in the past few decades. This case study documents the first reported case of Horner’s syndrome post-TCAR for an internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. A 68 year-old male with intermittent double vision was referred to vascular surgery clinic with brain CT angiography showing a 9mm saccular aneurysm with dissection flap of the right cervical ICA. Prior attempts by neuro-interventional radiology were unsuccessful due to …

Streptococcocal Induced Toxic Shock Syndrome: Importance Of Diagnosis And Initiating Life Saving Treatment, Lincy Sakwa, Danielle Ford

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a toxin induced illness characterized by fever, rash, and hypotension. TSS low incidence report and rapid onset of clinical symptoms makes getting to the diagnosis critical so that treatment can be started as soon as possible. A 65-year-old woman was brought into the emergency department (ED) after being found on the floor unresponsive during a well fair check. It was noted that she has not been seen or heard from by her family members in the last five days. She has no known past medical history and she was unresponsive and hemodynamically unstable in the …

Polypharmacy And Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing In Geriatric Population, Maryam Burney, Barry Brown, Victoria Nguyen, Garrett Furth, Ambreen I. Ahmed, Abigail Hulsizer

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Polypharmacy is a ubiquitous concern among patients, especially geriatric patients, who are at a higher risk of clinical burden. It is associated with an increase in healthcare costs, decreased functional status, and adverse drug events, contributing to geriatric syndromes, such as falls, cognitive decline, and urinary retention. Geriatric care is multi-tiered, requiring assistance and care from a thorough physician who is attune to the potential risks of medications that are commonly prescribed. Smaller communities, often with less resources and clinical providers and with an aging population, especially at the hospital setting, are vulnerable to oversights when it comes to medication …

Quality Improvement Project: Compliance Of Antenatal Testing In Patients With Class Iii Obesity, Isabella L. Sciacca, Timothy Kremer, Nicole Tenzel

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

The prevalence of obesity in women of reproductive age (20 to 39) in the US is 39.7%. It has been estimated that one-quarter of pregnancy complications are attributable to maternal obesity. Comprehensive prenatal care is imperative to achieving positive health outcomes. This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to improve antenatal fetal surveillance rates in patients with class III obesity. Evidence based interventions to test fetal wellbeing were implemented and examined over a 7 month time period to evaluate physician compliance of the standard of care for antenatal surveillance starting at 34 weeks gestation. Following implementation of this initiative, compliance with …

Case Report: Streptococcus Gallolyticus Prosthetic Joint Infection, Jeffrey Dickerson, Liza Salloum, Amaan Sheikh, Madhukanth Reddy, Bryan Youree

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Streptococcus gallolyticus, part of the Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) formerly known as Group D streptococi, is strongly associated with colorectal cancer and infective endocarditis. Its appearance in septic arthritis is rare, and its role in septic arthritis has not been as thoroughly investigated. We present the case of a 69 year old male with a history of atrial fibrillation and hypertension who was admitted to our hospital after undergoing a right knee replacement in 2023 with a chief complaint of right knee pain, fever, and chills. Arthrocentesis and blood cultures were performed, and the patient was started on …

Myelodysplastic Syndrome With An Unusual De-Novo Gata1 Mutation In An Elderly Caucasian Male: A Case Report, Minh-Triet Nguyen, Maryam Fallahi, Talha Riaz

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a disorder of blood cell proliferation that has been shown to have multiple risk factors for pathogenesis. One risk factor well documented in existing literature is a mutation in GATA-binding factor 1 (GATA1) which is classically seen in younger individuals with Down syndrome. However, in our case report, we present an unusual presentation of MDS with a de novo GATA1 mutation in a 75-year-old male with no history of Down syndrome, who initially presented with isolaterombocytopenia. A 75-year-old male presented for evaluation of unexplained asymptomatic thrombocytopenia found incidentally on outpatient laboratory evaluation. Further evaluation of the …

Impact Of Vertical Zone Redesign: One Hospitals Experience, Zachary Shields, Enrique Alvarez-Ventura, Curtis Johnson

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Background: Crowding in the emergency department has been a prevalent issue for decades, however, over the last few years, crowding and the number of patient visits in EDs have been higher than normal. Many factors influenced this, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Emergency departments around the country have been at a loss in improving patient flow and time in the ER. Literature has demonstrated some possible methods with varying results, but there has not been significant research on the subject.

Methods: After reviewing the literature, we designed a system where patients were stratified between different groups using the triage system. …

Colovaginal Fistula In A Patient Without A Hysterectomy, Austin Moore, Mollie Ahn, Anthony Macaluso

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: A majority of case reports and review studies exploring the incidence of colovaginal fistulas typically involve patients of older age with a history of both a hysterectomy and at least one episode of symptomatic diverticular disease. Colovaginal fistulas rarely occur in patients who have not had a prior hysterectomy. Case Description: A 52 year old female presented to colorectal surgery clinic with a history of multiple episodes of sigmoid diverticulitis who now had passage of air and stool from her vagina. She was confirmed to have evidence of a colovaginal fistula from her sigmoid colon to her …
