Sepsis Secondary to an Abdominal Wound Infection

Alisa Wray, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8PS60 Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
At completion of this case learners should be able to: 1) Recognize and differentiate between systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. 2) Prepare an appropriate differential diagnosis for a patient with sepsis. 3) Demonstrate appropriate fluid resuscitation and antibiotic therapy for a septic patient. 4) Demonstrate appropriate vasopressor therapy for a septic patient. 5) Understand and apply the Surviving Sepsis Guidelines.

Chest Pain with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Alisa Wray, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8K04C Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
At the end of this case learners should be able to prepare a differential for patients with chest pain, provide appropriate medications for a patient with chest pain, recognize an ST segment elevation MI, and appropriately disposition a patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

An Unusual Case of Pharyngitis: Herpes Zoster of Cranial Nerves 9, 10, C2, C3 Mimicking a Tumor

Jason Cheng, DO*, Gregory Reinhold, DO* and Rahmon Zuckerman, DO*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8B05K Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
On exam, the patient was sitting upright while holding an emesis basin filled with saliva. His voice was noticeably hoarse. Examination of the head and neck revealed vesicular eruptions on the left scalp in the V1 dermatome and on the left mastoid process (Images 1 and 2). Physical exam also shows vesicular eruptions on the left posterior oropharynx that did not cross midline (Image 3).

Retinal Detachment

Adnan Riaz, MD*, Chirag Shah, MD* and Grant Wei, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8204QIssue 3:2 No ratings yet.
Bedside ocular ultrasound revealed a serpentine, hyperechoic membrane that appeared tethered to the optic disc posteriorly with hyperechoic material underneath. These findings are consistent with retinal detachment (RD) and associated retinal hemorrhage.
