Severe Hypercalcemia In A Patient Taking Chronic Shark Fin Supplements, Sumanth Reddy, Bishwas Upadhyay
North Texas Research Forum 2025
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: In this study, we discuss a case of an 86 year old Vietnamese female who presents with severe hypercalcemia, 15.0, who presented with progressively worsening physical debility which resulted in the patient being wheelchair bound after being found to be taking chronic calcium supplements. Hypercalcemia is a metabolic abnormality that is known to cause muscle weakness, changes in sensorium, dehydrations, nausea, anorexia, polyuria, constipation, fatigue, and depression. CASE PRESENTATION: Patient is an 85 year old female with significant medical history of osteoarthritis who presented to the emergency department for generalized fatigue for the past 2 weeks. Patient reports that …

Internal medicine residents face a wide range of challenging medical conditions during their training and need to be equipped with both the knowledge and flexibility to handle whatever comes their way. As part of a collaborative initiative, we present the Medical City Arlington Internal Medicine Handbook, a practical resource built by residents, for residents. This handbook brings together practical insights, evidence-based practices, and specialized clinical expertise, all with the goal of enhancing the diagnostic and treatment skills of internal medicine practitioners. It covers a broad spectrum of conditions, from common ailments to rare and complex diseases, and provides in-depth management …
Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis Associated With Hepatitis C: A Case Report Of Progression To End-Stage Renal Disease, Boney Lapsiwala, Karthik Kasireddy, Marisha Sharma, Mayank Singh, Vaishnavi Singh, Victor Canela

A Case of DNAJB9 with rapid renal progression to End-Stage Renal Disease in a patient with previously treated HCV Background Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is a rare and progressive kidney disease, accounting for 0.5% to 1.4% of native kidney biopsies. It is characterized by non-amyloid fibrillar deposits in the extracellular matrix. Although historically regarded as idiopathic, recent studies have revealed associations with autoimmune diseases, malignancies, and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. DNAJB9, a proteomic marker identified through mass spectrometry, has been consistently found in FGN cases, regardless of congophilia. This case illustrates FGN in a patient with a history of successfully …

Introduction: May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is a phenomenon commonly described as acquired stenosis of the left common iliac vein secondary to compression by the right common iliac artery. Right sided MTS is a rare syndrome that can happen due to a left sided inferior vena cava (IVC) and abdominal aorta with a high bifurcation which results in the right common iliac vein being compressed by the left internal iliac artery. It is a rare presentation of this condition which can commonly be missed and management guidelines are less defined compared to classic MTS. Case Report: A 63-year- old female with past …

From Deposition To Infection, A Rare Case Of Osteomyelitis In Tumor Calcinosis, Munazzah Kaleem, Alexander Newell, Wendy Phillips, Saravanan Balamuthusamy
North Texas Research Forum 2025
Background/Intro Tumor calcinosis is a rare disease, and its association with greater trochanteric pain syndrome, abscess formation, and Osteomyelitis has not been well studied. Case presentation A 63-year-old woman with a known history of tumor calcinosis presents with right hip pain for 5 days. She woke up with a pain that was constant, alleviated with resting and getting worse with exertion and rolling on that side. She reports a t-max of 101F. Ct scan revealed a 9 x 4 x 11cm rim enhancing right great trochanteric collection and/ or severe bursitis. Orthopedic surgery evaluated the patient and, had low suspicion …
A Vaping Nightmare: Sudden Death Provoked By Vaping In The Setting Of Pectus Excavatum, Anoop Gala, Nga Van, Grace Rustom, Danielle Ford, Phuc Nguyen
A Vaping Nightmare: Sudden Death Provoked By Vaping In The Setting Of Pectus Excavatum, Anoop Gala, Nga Van, Grace Rustom, Danielle Ford, Phuc Nguyen
North Texas Research Forum 2025
Pectus excavatum (PE), characterized by an inward depression of the sternum, is the most common congenital chest wall abnormality. It has been rarely linked to cardiac abnormalities, such as arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). In addition, emerging research suggests that vaping is a cardiovascular risk factor that has the potential to destabilize cardiac rhythm and promote arrhythmias. There is a lack of FDA oversight and long-term research on the effects of vaping. The rising popularity of vaping among youth, coupled with misconceptions about its safety, underscores the urgent need to understand the potential interactions vaping has in precipitating fatal …

Bradycardia In A Renal Transplant Patient Receiving Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin, John Mathew, Victor Delprincipe, Seline Haci, Karthik Anand, Rangina Farhad
North Texas Research Forum 2025
Rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) is widely used for induction and treatment of acute T-cell mediated rejection in renal transplant patients. Bradycardia is reported as a rare side effect of this medication (citation). With the increasing number of transplanted kidneys in today's world, there is greater need to understand the adverse effects of these drugs in transplant recipients.. Here we report a case of symptomatic bradycardia in a renal transplant patient receiving rATG for acute T-cell mediated rejection.
Exploring The Link Between Covid-19 And Transverse Myelitis: A Case Report, Sara Sanghera, Trivianne Franklin, Veeranna Vibhuti, Danielle Ford
Exploring The Link Between Covid-19 And Transverse Myelitis: A Case Report, Sara Sanghera, Trivianne Franklin, Veeranna Vibhuti, Danielle Ford
North Texas Research Forum 2025
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare inflammatory syndrome of the spinal cord that is often attributed to immune-mediated responses which lead to demyelination and the resultant varying degrees of motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. While COVID-19 virus itself is known to present with anosmia, ageusia and Guillian Barre syndrome, a few rare cases of COVID-virus related TM have been reported. This case presents a 61-year-old female experiencing bilateral lower extremity weakness with brisk to absent reflexes. Onset of the symptoms was of 3 days origin, and she was tested positive for COVID-19. Patient did not have upper extremity symptoms but …

Hypothyroidism Associated Hyponatremia, A Complicated Presentation, Gary Lee, Spencer Steinberg, Samiuallh Shahid, Evangelista Ezenduka, Edgardo Flores
North Texas Research Forum 2025
Introduction: Hypothyroidism is a well known text-book cause of euvolumic hyponatremia that is a rare occurrence in clinical practice in the absence of other potential etiologies of hyponatremia. We review a case of a 48 year old female presenting with profound generalized weakness found to have severe hyponatremia, later found to have severe hypothyroidism during admission. We review the potential mechanisms whereby hypothyroidism results in hyponatremia and whether or not hypothyroidism-induced hyponatremia truly exists and the current evidence supporting these views Case Presentation: 48 year old female with history of hypothyroidism, breast cancer post right lumpectomy and radiation presented for …
