    Abstract Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare autosomal dominant cancer-predisposing syndrome, which can manifest as a polymorphic spectrum of malignancies. LFS is associated with an early onset in life, with the majority of cases occurring prior to the age of 46. Notwithstanding the infrequency of primary cardiac tumors, it behooves clinicians to remain vigilant in considering the differential diagnosis of such tumors in LFS patients who present with a cardiac mass. This is due to the markedly elevated risk for malignancy in this particular population, far surpassing that of the general populace.
    Case summary: Herein, we present a case of a 30-year-old female with LFS who was found to have a tricuspid valve leaflet mass.
    Conclusion: This case exemplifies valuable learning points in the diagnostic approach for this exceptionally rare patient population.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic auto-inflammatory disease associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Early identification and aggressive cardiovascular risk factor modification are critical for improvement in morbidity and mortality in patients with RA. This study is a cross-sectional survey with the purpose of evaluating primary care providers' awareness, practice patterns, and satisfaction with continuing medical education on cardiovascular risk in patients with RA. Our study showed that 71% of clinicians felt that the CME on RA patient management regarding CV risk factors is inadequate. Only 37% of providers reported feeling well prepared to manage CV risk for RA patients. Only 15% of participants were actively initiating a discussion regarding CV risk with RA patients. A better understanding of the educational needs and practice patterns of primary care providers may warrant the development of strategies for cardiovascular risk management in patients with RA.

    Abstract Currently, there are no explicit guidelines on the management of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in young adults under the age of 30. The lack of published literature to guide clinicians in the care of young adults with MI has prompted us to report a case exemplary for the successful treatment with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). A 25-year-old man developed acute MI and underwent on-pump five quintuple CABG using bilateral internal mammary arteries and left greater saphenous vein. This appropriate and timely intervention may have helped to prevent cardiac death and maintain the quality of life.

    Abstract Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an idiosyncratic phenomenon by which a spontaneous separation of the intimal and medial layer in the coronary artery occurs with intramural hemorrhage in the absence of trauma. This intramural hematoma, in turn, leads to compression and occlusion of the arterial lumen. Unlike traumatic dissection of coronary arteries, more than half of SCAD heals spontaneously over time. SCAD is known to occur predominantly in women under the age of 50, particularly during pregnancy or peripartum period. Herein, we present a case of a 32-year-old man with an SCAD on the left anterior descending coronary artery. The discordance between clinical presentation and angiographic finding posed a unique challenge in therapeutic decision making. This case reminds clinicians that SCAD should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis even for young men presenting with acute chest pain.

    Abstract A 52-year-old male accidentally ingested approximately 100 mL of 35% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), resulting in the sudden onset of gastrointestinal and neurologic symptoms. Non-contrast abdominal CT revealed extensive portal venous gas and gastric pneumatosis. The patient was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy which resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. The case highlights the therapeutic value of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of vascular gas embolism and mitigation of concentrated H2O2 ingestion toxicity.

    Abstract Carcinoid syndrome (CS) is a unique constellation of symptoms caused by release of vasoactive substances from neuroendocrine tumors (Pandit et al., StatPearls, 2022). Neuroendocrine tumors are rare with an annual incidence of 2 in 100,000 people (Ram et al., 46:21-27, 2019). Up to 50% of patients with these tumors will develop carcinoid syndrome, which is characterized by symptoms caused by elevated levels of serotonin and most commonly include fatigue, flushing, wheezing, and non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and malabsorption (Pandit et al., StatPearls, 2022) (Fox et.al., 90:1224-1228, 2004). Over time, patients with carcinoid syndrome can develop carcinoid heart disease (CHD). CHD refers to the cardiac complications that occur when the vasoactive substances, such as serotonin, tachykinins, and prostaglandins, secreted from the carcinoid tumors. These complications most commonly include valvular abnormalities, but can also present as coronary artery damage, arrhythmias or direct myocardial injury (Ram et al., 46:21-27, 2019). While CHD is not typically an initial feature of carcinoid syndrome, it does eventually occur in up to 70% of patients with carcinoid tumors (Ram et al., 46:21-27, 2019) (Jin et.al., 146:65-73, 2021) (Macfie et.al., 224:665-669, 2022). CHD is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to the risk of progressive heart failure (Bober et.al., 14:1179546820968101, 2020). In this case, we describe a 35-year-old Hispanic woman in South Texas with undiagnosed carcinoid syndrome for over 10 years that eventually progressed to severe CHD. In this patient's case, we emphasize how lack of access to healthcare resulted in delay of diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and worsened prognosis in this young patient.

    Abstract Salmonella osteomyelitis in patients without hemoglobulinopathy is quite uncommon. Osteal involvement is seen in only 0.8% of all Salmonella infection cases. We describe the case of a 67-year-old diabetic woman who developed Salmonella osteomyelitis and subsequently underwent a surgical excision of a tibial lesion followed by two months of intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy. The patient responded very well to the treatment. This case is exemplary for the successful treatment of chronic Salmonella osteomyelitis in a diabetic patient with a vascular complication.

    Abstract Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoinflammatory disease characterized by symptoms including spiking fever, arthralgia, myalgia, maculopapular rash, and pharyngitis. The lack of diagnostic biomarker, non-specific clinical presentation, and the rarity of AOSD often result in a significant delay in diagnosis and treatment. While the average time of initial presentation to diagnosis is four months, we present a case of AOSD diagnosis three years after initial onset of classical symptoms. By reporting the case of delayed diagnosis for AOSD, we hope to raise awareness in our medical community about the diagnostic difficulty in AOSD. The present case describes an otherwise healthy male who presented with typical symptoms of AOSD, but the diagnosis of AOSD was missed during his first presentation. In the second flaring episode, the diagnosis of AOSD was established. He had an excellent therapeutic response to anakinra and prednisone during the acute flaring episode. He is currently in complete remission on methotrexate as maintenance therapy.
