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.

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.

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.

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.

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), also historically known as carcinoids, are tumors derived of hormone-secreting enteroendocrine cells. Carcinoids may be found in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon, rectum, or pancreas. The biologic behavior of carcinoids differs based on their location, with gastric and appendiceal NETs among the least aggressive and small intestinal and pancreatic NETs among the most aggressive. Ultimately, however, biologic behavior is most heavily influenced by tumor grade. The incidence of NETs has increased by 6.4 times over the past 40 years. Surgery remains the mainstay for management of most carcinoids. Medical management, however, is a useful adjunct and/or definitive therapy in patients with symptomatic functional carcinoids, in patients with unresectable or incompletely resected carcinoids, in some cases of recurrent carcinoid, and in postoperative patients to prevent recurrence. Functional tumors with persistent symptoms or progressive metastatic carcinoids despite therapy are called “resistant” tumors. In patients with unresectable disease and/or carcinoid syndrome, an array of medical therapies is available, mainly including somatostatin analogues, molecular-targeted therapy, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Active research is ongoing to identify additional targeted therapies for patients with resistant carcinoids.

Psychological safety enables the interpersonal risk-taking necessary for providing safer patient care in the operating room (OR). Limited studies look at psychological safety in the OR from the perspectives of each highly specialized team member. Therefore, we investigated each member’s perspective on the factors that influence psychological safety in the OR. Interviews were conducted with operative team members of a level 1 trauma center in central Texas. The interviews were transcribed, de-identified, and coded by two investigators independently, and thematic analysis was performed. Responses were collected from 21 participants representing all surgical team roles (attending surgeons, attending anesthesiologists, circulating nurses, nurse anesthetists, scrub techs, and residents). Circulating nurse responses were redacted for confidentiality (n = 1). Six major themes influencing psychological safety in the OR were identified. Psychological safety is essential to better, safer patient care. Establishing a climate of mutual respect and suspended judgment in an OR safe for learning will lay the foundation for achieving psychological safety in the OR. Team exercises in building rapport and mutual understanding are important starting points.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is prevalent in about 30% to 60% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, leading to worse outcomes. Botulinum toxin type A (BTX) epicardial injection has been proposed to prevent POAF by impairing cholinergic signaling.
