AbstractFibrocystic breast changes (FCCs) are benign lesions thought to be caused by an increased estrogen-to-progesterone ratio. One of the most common endocrinopathies that increases this ratio is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Although nonproliferative FCCs do not increase the risk of breast cancer, they can make mammographic detection of malignancy in postmenopausal women more difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PCOS on the development of postmenopausal FCCs.
2024 Clinician Corner - A rare cause of hypokalemia

AbstractHypokalemia is a common electrolyte derangement seen in the inpatient setting, often with multiple plausible explanations. However, for patients with nonobvious causes, obtaining a more thorough history, including dietary history, can yield valuable insight and clues to guide clinicians in their evaluation.
2024 Clinician Corner - Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli: Trigger for Small Vessel Vasculitis

AbstractWe describe the case of a 19-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and a palpable purpuric rash. The patient subsequently developed dysentery and was found to have an infection from Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli. The patient also met diagnostic criteria for IgA vasculitis (also known as Henoch Schönlein purpura) but had negative immunofluorescence biopsies of the rash. The patient was treated with steroids and achieved recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of IgA vasculitis in the setting of an enterohemorrhagic E.
2024 Clinician Corner - Cardiac Myxoma Following Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect

AbstractTo date, no significant association has been reported between atrial septal defects (ASD) and cardiac myxomas. This study reports a 56-year-old woman with cardiac myxoma following transcatheter closure of ASD. She presented with a 3-month history of recurrent dizziness, vertigo, palpitations, and generalized weakness after undergoing ASD occlusion a year earlier. Echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography scans identified a large, mobile mass (7.2 cm × 2.8 cm) in the left atrium, protruding through the mitral valve.
