    Abstract Background: Cotard's Syndrome (CS) is a rare clinical entity where patients can report nihilistic, delusional beliefs that they are already dead. Curiously, while weight loss, dehydration, and metabolic derangements have been described as discussed above, a review of the literature revealed neither a single case of a severely underweight patient nor a serious metabolic complication such as Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Further, a search on PubMed revealed no articles discussing the co-occurrence of Cotard's Delusion and eating disorders or comorbid metabolic illnesses such as diabetes mellitus. In order to better examine the association between Cotard's Delusion and comorbid eating disorders and metabolic illness, we will present and discuss a case where Cotard's delusion led to a severe metabolic outcome of DKA and a BMI of 15.
    Case presentation: Mr. B is a 19 year old transgender man admitted to the hospital due to diabetic ketoacidosis secondary to Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Mr. B had a history of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The primary pediatric team discovered that Mr. B had not been using his insulin appropriately and was severely underweight, and they believed this could be due to his underlying mental illness. The psychiatric consultation/liaison service found that Mr. B was suffering from Cotard's delusion leading him to be noncompliant with his insulin due to a belief that he was already dead. Cotard's delusion had in this case led to a severe metabolic outcome of DKA and a BMI of 15.
    Conclusions: This case provides clinical insight into the interactions of eating disorders and Cotard's delusion as well as the potential medical complications when Cotard's delusion is co-morbid with medical conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus. We recommend that clinicians routinely screen patients for Cotard's delusion and assess whether the presence of which could exacerbate any underlying medical illness. This includes clinicians taking special care in assessing patient's caloric and fluid intake as well as their adherence to medications both psychiatric and medical. Further research could be conducted to explore the potential overlap of Cotard's delusion and eating disorder phenomenology.

  8. Article: Telehealth for an Aging Population: How Can Law Influence Adoption Among Providers, Payors, and Patients?

    Abstract Telehealth continues to experience substantial investment, innovation, and unprecedented growth. However, telehealth has been slow to transform healthcare. Recent developments in telehealth technologies suggest great potential for chronic care management, mental health services, and care delivery in the home-all of which should be particularly impactful for an aging population with physical and cognitive limitations. While this alignment of technological capacity and market demand is promising, legal barriers remain for telehealth operators to scale up across large geographic areas. To better understand how federal and state law can be reformed to enable greater telehealth utilization, we review and extract lessons from (1) establishment of a healthcare relationship, (2) state licensure laws, and (3) reimbursement. We analyze these areas because of the legal ambiguities or inconsistencies they raise depending on the state, which seem to be hampering telehealth growth without necessarily improving quality of care. We propose several solutions for a more unified approach to telehealth regulation that incorporate core bioethics principles of doctor-patient relationship, competence, patient autonomy, as well as population-wide questions of resource allocation and access. Lawmakers should clarify that healthcare relationships may be established outside of in-person meetings, align licensure laws via an interstate compact or federal preemption, and expand Centers for Medicare and Medicaid plans to reimburse telehealth delivery in the home.

    Abstract This Article explores two ways in which airline travel is an important vector for the spread of infectious disease, and argues that airlines have market-based and liability-based reasons to require that passengers be vaccinated. Going further, the Article explores whether the federal government has the legal and constitutional authority-especially under the Commerce Clause-to encourage or mandate that airlines implement such a vaccine screen. By disrupting the spread of disease at key network nodes where individuals interact and then connect with other geographic regions, and by creating another incentive for adult vaccination, an airline vaccine screen could be an effective and legally viable tool for the protection of public health.

    Abstract Increases in fluxes of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the environment have led to negative impacts affecting drinking water, eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Because of the importance, scale, and complexity of these issues, it may be useful to consider methods for prioritizing nutrient research in representative drainage basins within a regional or national context. Two systematic, quantitative approaches were developed to (1) identify basins that geospatial data suggest are most impacted by nutrients and (2) identify basins that have the most variability in factors affecting nutrient sources and transport in order to prioritize basins for studies that seek to understand the key drivers of nutrient impacts. The "impact" approach relied on geospatial variables representing surface-water and groundwater nutrient concentrations, sources of N and P, and potential impacts on receptors (i.e., ecosystems and human health). The "variability" approach relied on geospatial variables representing surface-water nutrient concentrations, factors affecting sources and transport of nutrients, model accuracy, and potential receptor impacts. One hundred and sixty-three drainage basins throughout the contiguous United States were ranked nationally and within 18 hydrologic regions. Nationally, the top-ranked basins from the impact approach were concentrated in the Midwest, while those from the variability approach were dispersed across the nation. Regionally, the top-ranked basin selected by the two approaches differed in 15 of the 18 regions, with top-ranked basins selected by the variability approach having lower minimum concentrations and larger ranges in concentrations than top-ranked basins selected by the impact approach. The highest ranked basins identified using the variability approach may have advantages for exploring how landscape factors affect surface-water quality and how surface-water quality may affect ecosystems. In contrast, the impact approach prioritized basins in terms of human development and nutrient concentrations in both surface water and groundwater, thereby targeting areas where actions to reduce nutrient concentrations could have the largest effect on improving water availability and reducing ecosystem impacts.
