IgG4-related disease presenting with acute kidney injury and tubulointerstitial nephritis
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):319-321. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2288470. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTImmunoglobulin G-4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated, inflammatory disease that often involves multiple organ systems. IgG4-RD can be classified according to the organs involved. Type 1 IgG4-RD is related to acute pancreatitis and sclerosing cholangitis. Disease manifestation is also seen in the retroperitoneal region, pelvic organs, and orbital space. Here we describe a rare case of IgG4-RD causing isolated acute kidney injury.PMID:38343464 | PMC:PMC10857447 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2288470 (S...

Surgical treatment of a spontaneous intraorbital arteriovenous fistula with direct embolization via transconjunctival orbitotomy
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):330-333. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2299764. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTSpontaneous arteriovenous fistula is a rare orbital lesion that may cause proptosis, ptosis, chemosis, and visual disturbances. The widely practiced treatment is a transvenous embolization approach accessed from the femoral or petrosal sinus. In this case report, we present a surgical approach via transconjunctival orbitotomy for direct access to achieve complete fistula embolization. The postoperative course revealed progressive, near-complete symptomatic improvement.PMID:38343465 | PMC:PMC10857482 | DOI:10.10...

Lab testing overload: a comprehensive analysis of overutilization in hospital-based settings
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):312-316. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2288788. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTOveruse of laboratory tests has been a growing problem in the inpatient hospital setting for years, which adds to the rising cost of care. Various factors come into play, such as clinical routines, lack of cost transparency, and the convenience of electronic health record-based ordering. The financial ramifications of the overuse are significant, as lab costs drive most medical decisions. Eliminating unnecessary testing with clinical decision support and best practices is associated with marked cost savings, im...

The use of cannabinoids in palliating cancer-related symptoms: a narrative review
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):288-294. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2301241. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTDespite uncertain efficacy, cannabinoids and derived products are becoming increasingly used in the field of palliative care for oncologic patients. Cannabinoids chiefly include psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and nonpsychoactive cannabidiol (CBD). Use of and research interest in THC, CBD, and combination THC/CBD products have increased in recent years, particularly after the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 made cannabis plants with <0.3% THC no longer controlled substances, and many states recen...

A clearer vision: insights into juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):303-311. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2024.2305567. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe aim of this narrative review is to synthesize existing evidence-based knowledge on juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIA-U). We highlight epidemiology, pathophysiology, causes and genetics, risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis and screening, laboratory biomarkers, treatment options, trials with recent advances, and research challenges pertaining to JIA-U. The prevalence of JIA-U varies with different JIA subtypes, most frequently associated with the oligoarticular subtype. The risk fac...

Associations between depression and diabetic retinopathy in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: Depression is more prevalent in individuals with DR than those with DM only. The relationship between depression and DR may be mediated by additional medical comorbidities, but further studies are needed.PMID:38343472 | PMC:PMC10857443 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2301917 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):344-347. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2289301. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTTumefactive multiple sclerosis (MS) is a subtype of atypical and rare MS that presents with tumor-like lesions in the central nervous system. The lesions may demonstrate a mass effect, edema, with ring enhancement. They can be mistaken for brain tumors or brain abscesses radiologically and clinically.
