Workshop Title: Altered sensorium in presence of  comorbidities 

Guest faculty: Dr Ambarish Bhattacharya sharing his patient 

Active participants: 

Ambarish Bhattacharya - 
Consultant at Nightingale Hospital,Kolkata, Consultant (medicine) at Spandan Hospital and Consultant at The Apollo Clinic, Saltlake

Arvindran Alaga

Fellow, Respiratory Medicine

Passive participants: 1800 asynchronous online global participants consisting of MBBS and MD students, question senior residents,  independent researchers and faculty Professors in global locations but maximum represented from Indian subcontinent as well as Europe, US, Australia


Conversational learning outcomes:


Dr Ambarish Bhattacharya presents the patient data:

"65yrs male known DM, HTN, COPD, Parkinson's.
H/o fall followed by # neck femur. Hemiarthroplasty done. Patient discharged after 4 days on Amoxyclav but found drowsy on discharge so brought to another center and admitted under me. On examination 103F temperature and GCS 12/15, Mild generalized rigidity, anemia, few crepts bilaterally, tenderness in operation site and large bed sore.Gave Paracetamol, fever came down and patient became 15/15 GCS.
Thinking of Hospital acquired infection gave him Meropenem + Doxy + Clindamycin for 1 week. But fever recurs as soon as PCM/NSAIDS is stopped. 
Hb 8, TLC 13500, PLC 200000, ESR 125, CRP 200. Malaria, Dengue, Blood cs, Urine cs all negative. CXR, USG abdomen NAD. Renal and LFT normal.
Did CT chest small effusion and small consolation left lower zone. Did CT of operated hip. Small collection near femur. Too little fluid for diagnostic tap.
CRP is progressively increasing (now 320) with normal Procal (1) and high Ferritin (5300). TLC was 10500. Albumin 2.4, Sugar well controlled. Now on Colistin + Tigecycline + Linezolid.
Orthopedic surgeons say no intervention from their part. Bone marrow planned.

Would be grateful for ideas in further management."


Active participants inputs:

Rakesh Biswas, Professor Medicine 

How is the patient now? A fever pattern data on regular monitoring would have been useful

Response to input 1 from Dr Ambarish Bhattacharya 

Rakesh Biswas Patient has expired

Ultimately got: Arthroplasty associated infection, Aspirated pneumoniae leading to severe sepsis and MODS

Input 2 from Anupam Halder, AIIMs Bhopal 
 
Sir did we find the pathogen a/w sepsis?

Input 3 from Arvindran Alaga
Fellow, Respiratory Medicine

Any Echocardiography  was done?

 
Input 4 from Dr. Sushma Sapkota Pandey, an Internal Medicine Specialist in Boonville, New York. 

Did we rule out Stills disease? 

Input 5 from Harinder Singh 

USG abdomen? 

Tarun Chakrabarti 

Did you ask for CPK? NMS could be superimposed on sepsis.


Input from Nitin Garg, Neurosurgeon, Bhopal 

Ambarish Bhattacharya sorry to hear that the patient expired. Any CSF analysis done as these procedures are done under spinal anaesthesia to rule out meningitis?

Input from Anupam Halder, AIIMS, Bhopal 
Sir do we rule out meningitis in absence of any localizing history of meningitis?

Input 7 from Gaurav Sharma, Orthopedic surgeon, Lucknow 

Sorry to hear the patient expired...read this message only today...I have been associated with a cardiac centre where I routinely manage  ortho cases with such morbidities.
If the duration between the occurance of fracture and admission to hospital is prolonged...such cases very commonly come to hospital with bedsores and a bad chest. Optimization of such patients to near normal..no matter how long it takes to do so...is the key to prevent SIRS n MODS. Also in such cases one has to keep the duration of surgery short.
I wished to throw some light on the prevention part rather than the treatment hence this post

In her article 'The Enlightenment of Peer Review

How Academic Librarians Can Utilize Open Peer Review Methods to Advance Information Literacy"

Citation para:

An innovafive OPR method known as "collective conversational peer review" (designed to integrate medical education and practice) exemplifies the use of an evolving creation process as a critical appraisal tool for submitted manuscripts, which simultaneously offers medical students publication credit and interactive training (Podder et al., 2018, p. 112). This type of dynamic peer review is an excellent example of a new information product giving participants a way to "articulate the traditional and emerging processes of information creation and dissemination in a particular discipline" (ACRL, 2016, p. 14). By collaborating with faculty across disciplines, academic librarians can incorporate these Innovative approaches to peer review as a creative method to implement the frame "Information Creation as a Process."

Passive participants: 1800 asynchronous online global participants 
consisting of MBBS and MD students, question senior residents,  independent researchers and faculty Professors in global locations but maximum represented from Indian subcontinent as well as Europe, US, Australia


Conversational learning outcomes:


Dr Ambarish Bhattacharya presents the patient data:

"60yr lady. H/o CA tongue. Hemiglosectomy followed by RT done about a year back. Also has Hypothyroid and OSA.
H/o recurrent syncopal attacks for last 1 month. ABG, EEG, ECG, Hotler, HUTT, Hemogram, TSH, Electrolytes all normal. MRI brain normal.
MRA shows about 60% block of Carotids on left side. 
What to do next?

Active participants inputs:

Debapriya Mondal -
Senior resident in Medical oncology at Tata Medical Center

This could be due to Radiation induced Carotid Artery stenosis or accelerated atherosclerosis (more common in patients with pre-existing risks) or less commonly thrombotic sequelae of cancer itself. It is more likely to be the first. To confirm Carotid intima-media thickness can be measured.

Invasive treatment is generally reserved for severe cases (>70%) but since this patient is symptomatic invasive options must be considered (Angioplasty & stenting or endarterectomy). We have had a few cases of Carotid Artery stenosis in post radiotherapy patients but none needed invasive treatment. The bad news is, it generally gets worse (chances of stenosis and severity) with survivorship for as long as ten years from radiotherapy. There is some role of statins and antiplatelets in post-intervention patients to prevent future occurrences but without intervention medical treatment has limited role.

Also, it is of paramount importance to rule out cancer recurrence in her case before considering any invasive treatment, preferably with a PET CT scan.

Response to input 1 from Dr Ambarish Bhattacharya 

Fully agree with you.
It could be a direct result of radiation or as a result of radical neck dissection.
My only concern is should I be thinking of anything else?
Am I missing something in the DD?

Input 2 from Debapriya Mondal 

I have the burden of tunnel vision here, we see this commonly in post Neck radiation and dissection patients of head neck cancers. There might be many DDx of this lady's symptoms when the cancer is not being considered, but with the cancer Carotid stenosis or accelerated atherosclerosis seems the likeliest of possibilities. I do not have any training in interpreting a carotid intima-media thickness sir, it is best considered by someone with actual experience.
Is she a patient with elevated atherosclerosis risk though? The problem at the carotid could be one of many. And all the neck manipulation may have just helped what was to happen a few years later.

Input 1 from Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon at Bellevue Clinic, Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon at Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratisthan Hospital and Consultant at St Joseph's Hospital

She got IMRT &it's probably 3-4months only post RDT. Is not it too early to develop post RDT STENOSIS

Response from Debapriya Mondal 

Yes 3-4 months is early, I'm sorry it appeared from the description that it's been a year. IMRT reduces the chances but it's not a guarantee since there's no definite threshold for carotid stenosis or atherosclerosis ( some degree of stenosis occurs with carotid dose >40Gy, which is hard to adhere) to happen and carotid sparing may not have been possible sir. But if it's 3-4 months only, then it's definitely too early and other possibilities must be considered. I feel an opinion of the treating radiation oncologist will do good since he or she can review the plan (and imaging of that time) and correlate clinically to rule it out.

Input from Dr Amit Taneja, Faculty Medical College, Wisconsin 


Sorry to butt in but carotid artery disease and particularly unilateral disease is highly unlikely to be causing syncope. TIA yes, syncope no

Ambarish Bhattacharya inputs around further data from patient:

The tilt test is suggestive of vaso vagal. 

Input 1 from Rakesh Biswas 

A caveat: "Due to a lack of a gold standard, sensitivity and specificity of the tilt table test for patients with vasovagal syncope is not exactly known."

Second, the reproducibility of a positive head-up tilt table test varies enormously

"Third, several studies have shown that the mechanism of syncope during a tilt table test is not equivalent to that of a spontaneous syncope."

Personally I tend to look at vaso vagal as a diagnosis of exclusion.

"A patient with a common problem shared recently by Debasish Acharjee from PIN Code area 736xxx for your inputs  

Case report (non journal peer review format): http://ebpc-udhc-debasishacharjee.blogspot.in/2017/02/a-36-year-old-lady-suffering-from.html 


Inputs from MBBS student Aadipta Ghosh:

Cyclic mastalgia is caused due to fibrocytic changes. As mentioned in the mammograms it may be fibroadenoma. One needs to find out the causes of non cyclic mastitis here in this patient. 

Response from expert faculty, Dr Swagata Brahmachari:

It is not mastitis as per me it is mastalgia

Query from Medicine department host:

Is there anything in the imaging that needs or can be studied pathologically after a biopsy? What would you do for her pain that appears to be unbearable to her?

Inputs from MBBS student Avinash Gupta:

yes sir, squamous papilloma in histopathology report

opioids like tramadol for pain relief if unbearable as its due to papilloma

Cyclic Pain - The pain is usually most severe before a menstrual period and is often relieved when a period ends. Cyclic breast pain occurs more often in younger women. Most cyclic pain goes away without treatment and usually disappears at menopause.    Danazol and tamoxifen citrate are prescription medicines used for the treatment of severe cyclic breast pain.   http://www.webmd.com/women/tc/breast-pain-mastalgia-topic-overview#1

Inputs from MBBS student Aadipta Ghosh:

I would investigate the squamous papilloma , check for nipple discharges,ruptured cysts and any palpable masses if present Rakesh Biswas sir

Response from expert faculty, Dr Swagata Brahmachari:

First the levels of Sr Prolactin has to be assessed. Then Cabergolin is given if found raised
Current Medical Research and Opinion
Evidence for the Management of Mastalgia
R. Gumm; G. H. Cunnick; K. Mokbel | Disclosures
Curr Med Res Opin. 2004;20(5)

I have used Ormeloxifene (Sevista or Novex 30mg) in pts of mastalgia and small fibroadenoma (<2cm) with very good results clinically and radiologically

Response from host:

Any clinical trials that may have looked at the efficacy of ormeloxifene Swagata?

Response from expert faculty:

Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol. 2015; 4(4): 1057-1060doi: 10.18203/2320-1770.ijrcog20150426


1.Efficacy of SEVISTA (Ormeloxifene) in treatment of mastalgia and fibrocystic breast disease

Vandana Bansal, Arpit Bansal, Ashwani Kumar Bansal.

Further addition from Dr Swagata:

This pts main problem is noncyclical mastalgia  which was cyclical previously.Breast imaging is Birads 3 in  which regular monitoring is must
Hence treatment should be symptomatic. Vulval pathology is not related to symptoms as it is most probably viral in origin (HPV) and also needs regular radiological screening

Response from host RB:


We reviewed this patient in the OPD and the mastalgia appeared to be part of a generalized problem of myalgia (or fibromyalgia if you will). There are many psychological issues that require addressing in this patient Debasish, Amy
