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

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 …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

INTRODUCTION: Colonic lipomas are rare, benign non-epithelial lesions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that predominantly affect elderly females and often found in the ascending colon. They are least common in the rectum, with a prevalence of 3.4%. Lipomas can grow to cause abdominal pain, bleeding, or obstruction. We report an incidental finding of a rectal lipoma in a patient presented with rectal bleeding. CASE: A 70 year-old male with a history of migraines presented to the hospital for two weeks of rectal bleeding and syncopal episode prior to arrival. Patient had visited the emergency department two weeks prior, but hemoglobin …

Acute Mesenteric Ischemia In Patients With Covid-19, Tristan Fun, Natalie Hurlock, Danielle Ford

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Patient with COVID-19 are more likely to have thrombotic events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). There have been many case reports of patient with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in the setting of COVID-19. Incidences of AMI occur in about 0.1% of acute hospital admissions. Short term mortality from AMI range from 26-86%. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are essential, yet diagnosis is difficult and AMI can often go unrecognized as a cause of death. This study attempted to establish the risk of patients with COVID-19 having acute mesenteric ischemia and compare …
