Coding Corner: Dazed and Confused
An 84-year-old woman with a history of dementia was admitted for worsening confusion over the last two days. Her initial workup in the emergency department is unremarkable including a normal urinalysis, basic metabolic panel, complete blood count, and CT of the head. On day two, she is increasingly combative and requires restraints. After a discussion with her family about the risks and benefits, quetiapine is added nightly. You order an electrocardiogram to check the patient’s QT interval, magnesium level, and another basic metabolic panel. On day three, she continues to require intermittent restraints along with the ad...

Black Patients More Likely to Experience Security Emergency Responses
Colby Feeney, MD, FHM
Clinical question: Do race and ethnicity predict the use of security emergency responses (SER) in a non-psychiatric inpatient setting?
Background: Studies have demonstrated increased restraint use in certain racial groups in the emergency department (ED) and inpatient psychiatry settings. While there is also literature to suggest increased use of security for nonwhite patients, there is little known about the association between race and ethnicity identification and the use of SERs and restraints in the non-psychiatric inpatient setting.
Study design: Retrospective cohort study
Setting: Single tertia...

Positive anti-nuclear antibody in patients with polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia suggests the presence of multiple distinct comorbidities
Conclusion These results establish a previously underappreciated unique immunological state of multimorbidity in PHGG and indicate that the gamma-globulin levels and ANAs could serve as markers for the clinical assessment of comorbidities in PHGG.PMID:38692914 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3594-24 (Source: Internal Medicine)

Chronic bromine intoxication complicated with Fanconi syndrome: A case report
In this report, we describe a unique case of an 80-year-old woman who developed chronic bromine poisoning due to the prolonged ingestion of over-the-counter (OTC) medication containing bromovalerylurea (BVU), thus leading to the onset of drug-induced partial Fanconi syndrome and resultant osteomalacia. The patient's condition improved following the cessation of bromide intake. This case highlights the potential risks of chronic BVU exposure and the importance of caution regarding the use of OTC medications containing BVU.PMID:38692916 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3128-23 (Source: Internal Medicine)
