History, politics, and variolation vaccination hesitancy in the American South during the American Civil War
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):357-360. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2295824. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTExamining the history of vaccination in the Civil War reveals lessons about why citizens resisted vaccination and how physicians tried to respond to the problems associated with combating epidemic diseases like smallpox. The Confederate government and physicians failed to effectively advocate to the public and collect information in an organized manner, and they suffered failures in getting enough citizens and soldiers vaccinated. Some Confederate physicians like Joseph Jones studied vaccination, but this came ...

Low-dose methotrexate toxicity leading to pancytopenia: leucovorin as a rescue treatment
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):339-343. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2289299. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTLow-dose methotrexate has several known side effects associated with mild toxicity including nausea, oral ulcers, and anemia. However, it is rare for patients taking low-dose methotrexate to present with symptoms of severe toxicity including pancytopenia, macular punctate rash, and severe stomatitis. Here we present an 83-year-old patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis on low-dose methotrexate for 1 year presenting with 5 days of worsening facial swelling, oral lesions, and a macular rash to the extremi...

Should primary care physicians consult on their admitted patients? A single-center survey study
CONCLUSIONS: Both hospitalists and PCPs agree that a PCP consultation would benefit the patient's medical care in specific situations. However, views on the importance and frequency of PCP consultations vary between the two groups.PMID:38343455 | PMC:PMC10857648 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2299887 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Impact of a transitional care program for heart failure patients at Baylor Scott & amp; White Health: a pilot study
This study describes the small, pilot implementation of a new, interventional, self-management heart failure program, "Engagement in Heart Failure Care" (EHFC), developed to assist heart failure patients with the management of disease symptoms following discharge from an inpatient hospital stay. EHFC was designed to engage patients in managing their symptoms and coaching them in skills that enable them to access medical and supportive care services across community, clinic, and hospital settings to help address both their current and future needs. The results of this pilot study suggest that EHFC's coaching model may have ...

Efficacy and risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw for pamidronate, zoledronic acid, and denosumab in comparison to alendronate in multiple myeloma patients
CONCLUSION: This study shows that fracture reduction risk is comparable for all four treatments in multiple myeloma patients, but ONJ risk is lowest for alendronate and pamidronate. Overall, these data support the continued use of pamidronate and alendronate in multiple myeloma patients.PMID:38343457 | PMC:PMC10857533 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2298667 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Guanfacine treatment for a patient with delusional parasitosis causing dermatillomania presenting with shared psychiatric disorders
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Jan 2;37(2):326-329. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2291719. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTDermatillomania often coexists with delusional parasitosis (DP) and can cause extreme patient morbidity. The standard treatment for DP has been conventional antipsychotic drugs; however, their use is limited by potential adverse effects and monitoring requirements. Guanfacine, an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, has emerged as a promising alternative for patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with concurrent tics. Although no current research supports guanfacine's efficacy in managing DP or ...

We are our history: Baylor University Medical Center and Black physicians in Dallas
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):185-195. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2299042. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe Texas Baptist Memorial Sanatorium, the hospital that later became known as Baylor University Medical Center, dates back to 1904. With this long-lived history comes the truths that affected all hospitals during the Jim Crow era: segregation and inequality. This paper attempts to place Baylor University Medical Center, which aimed (and continues to aim) to be a "great humanitarian hospital," in its historical context. Understanding this history may help explain and combat the inequities we continue to see in ...

Inpatient outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease in hospitalized patients with COVID-19: analysis of a nationally representative sample
CONCLUSION: Our national study on COVID-19 hospitalizations indicates that patients with IBD have comparable rates of gastrointestinal bleeding, pulmonary embolism, and mortality as those without IBD. However, patients with UC hospitalized with COVID-19 have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis than COVID-19 patients hospitalized without UC. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between COVID-19 and IBD.PMID:38343460 | PMC:PMC10857601 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2303402 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)
