2025 BUMC Proceedings - Authentic leadership in clinical practice: barriers and benefits for female academic physician leaders
Background: Female academic physician leaders (FAPLs) encounter challenges in their leadership roles, including gendered leadership expectations or fear of judgment, impacting their ability to express authenticity. This study examined FAPLs’ perceptions of authentic leadership, factors shaping their leadership behaviors, and how authenticity influences their effectiveness as a leader. Methods: Using a convergent mixed-methods design, 40 FAPLs at Texas A&M University College of Medicine were invited to participate. Nine completed the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ), and 10 participated in semi-structured interviews. Results: Quantitative analysis revealed the strongest alignment with moral/ethical leadership dimensions, with a significant difference (P
2025 Clinician Corner - Spinal cord reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
We present the case of a 19-year-old woman who developed reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) with primarily posterior circulation infarcts, including a high cervical spinal cord infarct. RCVS is thought to be a transient vasospastic condition of the brain and to our knowledge has not been previously described to affect the spinal cord.

2025 Clinician Corner - Exploring apremilast in the treatment of lichen planus pemphigoides: a new remedy
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is an uncommon autoimmune dermatosis characterized by a combination of lichenoid lesions and bullous lesions. While its pathogenesis is often considered idiopathic, some cases have been associated with certain medications and infections. The standard treatment for LPP involves systemic corticosteroids. However, the suboptimal recurrence rate of 20% and the presence of various side effects highlight the need for alternative approaches. Recognizing the role of proinflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of LPP and targeting their reduction and related pathways has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. This case report details the experience of a 67-year-old woman with a history of LPP, showing disease progression despite undergoing multiple conventional therapies. Faced with the inadequacy of traditional treatments, we achieved successful results by using apremilast as an effective intervention.
2025 Clinician Corner - Refractory cutaneous pseudolymphoma treated with tapinarof
Cutaneous pseudolymphoma (CPL) is a reactive polyclonal T- or B-cell lymphoproliferative process that histopathologically and/or clinically imitates cutaneous lymphoma. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a poorly defined, erythematous plaque with papules on the dorsal nose that had been present for years. This lesion was biopsied as an atypical T-cell infiltrate and was clinically diagnosed as a pseudolymphoma. After unsuccessful treatments with mometasone and tacrolimus, the patient was started on tapinarof cream 1%. After 10 months of treatment, there was clinical improvement of the plaque and papules with only slight residual erythema. Further studies and reports will help elucidate the role of tapinarof as a therapeutic option for pseudolymphoma. Based on its safety profile and promising results in other inflammatory and hyperproliferative disorders, it could be considered in refractory cases.
