Tumefactive multiple sclerosis
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. Here we describe an instructive case of a 55-year-old woman with tumefactive MS who presented with occasional numbness in her right arm and leg, headache, thought confusion, and blurred vision for 2 years.PMID:383...

Balanced crystalloids versus isotonic saline in pediatric sepsis: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis demonstrates that using BC in pediatric sepsis is associated with reduced mortality, AKI, and hyperchloremia rates compared to IS, while maintaining similar hospital and PICU LOS. Large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.PMID:38343480 | PMC:PMC10857664 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2301904 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Predicting risk of tracheostomy after cardiac surgery: a decade of insights from nearly 10,000 patients
CONCLUSIONS: A risk prediction model for requiring tracheostomy after cardiac surgery is proposed in this study. A history of New York Heart Association III/IV, chronic lung disease, and myocardial infarction as well as undergoing valve surgeries were associated with increased risk of requiring a tracheostomy.PMID:38343482 | PMC:PMC10857673 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2302798 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

An eruption of basal cell carcinoma after ibrutinib
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):334-335. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2288482. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIbrutinib is a therapy targeting tyrosine kinase that has been used for various hematologic malignancies. It is associated with a variety of adverse effects, several of which are dermatologic. While there are few discussions of basal cell carcinoma as an adverse event, there have not yet been reports of a significantly increased incidence. Here, we present a patient with no dermatologic history who subsequently developed nearly 30 incidents of basal cell carcinoma after starting ibrutinib, leading to discontinu...

Effectiveness of the ABCDEF method for developing an institution-specific pain management clinical resource
CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative retrospective analysis demonstrates executability of the ABCDEF method to successfully develop an institution-specific pain management resource. This template adds to the resources available to create evidence-based care consistency individualized to local practice environments. Study limitations include the retrospective analysis and a lack of generalizability for the results.PMID:38343484 | PMC:PMC10857466 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2299889 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Two years of a pilot virtual melanoma education program for adolescents in Texas: Assessing knowledge gaps and demographic disparities
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):361-365. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2288494. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTA formal melanoma primary prevention program was developed for a target audience of grade-school adolescents near Houston, Texas, focusing on skin cancer education and promoting long-term sun safety habits. Upon application of a multivariable regression model, adolescents of Black, non-Hispanic race, male gender, and lower grade levels were independent predictors of lower baseline skin cancer prevention knowledge. These findings reveal potential areas to prioritize when addressing knowledge gaps in the adolesce...

More than meets the eye: rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis with diabetic ketoacidosis presenting as periorbital edema resulting in orbital exenteration and maxillectomy
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):348-354. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2298183. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTMucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that can cause acute clinical decompensation and death. The literature demonstrates case fatality rates around 50% with differential clinical courses contingent upon anatomical incursion. Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis represents a rapidly hostile variant with poorer outcomes, warranting prompt recognition, workup, and intervention. It is seldom included in differential diagnoses in those with head and neck pathology within the inpatient setting as diagnostic pa...

Recurrent idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis with chronic headache and cranial nerve involvement
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):322-325. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2298654. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIdiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a rare, fibrosing inflammatory disease that causes localized or diffuse thickening of the dura mater in the brain and/or spinal cord. It may be cranial, spinal, and/or craniospinal pachymeningitis depending on the place of involvement. In our case, a 34-year-old woman presented with sixth cranial nerve involvement and headache and was diagnosed with idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis as a result of the exclusion of other causes and central nervous system imaging. ...
