    Abstract A 63-year-old man presented to the emergency department for fluttering in the chest. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) suggested rapid atrial fibrillation with nonspecific RS- and ST-segment abnormalities. Treatment with intravenous β-blocker resulted in conversion to a normal sinus rhythm. The repeat ECG revealed conversion to normal sinus rhythm with an inferior lateral myocardial infarction. This case presentation identifies the importance of an algorithmic approach to identifying narrow complex tachyarrhythmias considering both cardiac and noncardiac causes. Furthermore, evaluating ECG changes when varying rates and rhythms exist on differing ECGs. Identifying the importance of serial ECGs is emphasized by the case presented, concluding with an understanding of arrhythmias associated with myocardial infarctions and clinical pearls.

    Abstract This column discusses what appears to be a lead reversal in a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) of a routine low-risk chest pain evaluation in a 36-year-old man. A 12-lead ECG was completed and identified ST changes suggestive of ischemia in the inferior leads. Findings in the ECG suggested arm lead reversal that created an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) mimic. Repeating the ECG and correcting the arm lead mistake identified a correction of these changes and identified an ECG more suggestive of benign early repolarization or J-point elevation. This case discusses the importance of identifying ECG findings that may suggest arm lead reversal and how sometimes misplaced leads could create the appearance of an STEMI. This is a review of the case, key points to interpreting ECGs for possible lead reversal and identifying the REVERSE mnemonic.

    Abstract Surgery continues to be an increasingly vital component of public health and aspect of patient care in rural communities. An anticipated shortage of surgeons within the next decade in the United States prompts a growing concern for increasing the delivery of essential surgical care to these populations. When considering the existing barriers to surgical healthcare in rural communities, there is a sense of urgency to identify innovative approaches that will promote a sustainable surgeon workforce. A narrative review was conducted to investigate the current state of access to essential surgical care in rural communities. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected to better understand the key issues in rural healthcare and to provide statistical data related to the status of the surgical workforce. With the anticipated shortage of surgeons in both rural and urban areas, this review highlights the importance of enacting immediate measures to address the concern. This review has accomplished the initial objectives of gaining a better understanding of the current state of access to surgical care in rural communities and utilizing this knowledge to provide recommendations to readily attain a sustainable number of rural surgeons. With each approach addressing ways to address the contributory issues to the surgeon shortage, this review reveals a new avenue of integrating valuable aspects from each approach, rather than relying on a single approach. In particular, enhancing the overall pipeline of medical training to attending status may prove to be more beneficial for achieving this goal. Ultimately, this may be accomplished by introducing additional rural surgical mentorship opportunities for medical students, developing a rural surgery fellowship, and incorporating a market-based response that will correspond to attractive incentives that help to retain a sustainable number of surgeons working in rural areas.

    Abstract Autoimmune diseases of the nervous system in children are composed of a heterogeneous group of rare disorders that can affect the central or peripheral nervous system at any level. Presentations may occur in children of any age and are typically acute or subacute in onset. Consideration of an autoimmune process as the etiology of neurologic diseases in children is important, as it may lead to early initiation of immunotherapy and an improvement in long-term neurologic outcomes. The developing nervous and immune systems in children create unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment of these rare diseases. In this review, autoimmune diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerve roots, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and muscle in children are described.

    Abstract A 65-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) for evaluation of epigastric and chest pain. On presentation, a 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a patient in rapid atrial fibrillation (AFib) with anteroseptal myocardial infarction. Treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and rapid AFib were initiated, and the patient was flown to a regional percutaneous coronary intervention center. Two weeks later, the patient presented to the same ED with a LifeVest external defibrillator (Zoll Medical, Chelmsford, MA). The patient received electrical shock in excess of 10 times from the LifeVest prior to ED arrival where he promptly developed ventricular tachycardia (VT). After cardioversion, the VT storm persisted and required multiple cardioversions, resuscitation, intubation, and transfer back to a tertiary cardiac center for electrophysiology studies and internal cardiac defibrillator placement. This case explores the course of a patient's anteroseptal infarction, utilization and description of the LifeVest external defibrillator, and the subsequent visit to the ED in VT storm. It provides insight into the team approach, decision-making process, and managing a complex medical illness. Furthermore, it helps identify methods for emergency providers to improve their approach in both complex and rare cases.

    Abstract Cluster analysis of maltreatment-related mental health symptoms manifested by adolescents in foster care suggest the absence of an underlying taxonomic structure. To test this further, we investigated alignment between mental health symptom profiles derived through cluster analysis and nominal diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), among a sample of 230 adolescents in long-term foster care. Nominal DSM-V BPD and ICD-11 C-PTSD caseness was estimated from Child Behaviour Checklist and Assessment Checklist for Adolescents score algorithms, and alignment of case assignment with previously-derived symptom profiles was examined. Nineteen BPD and three C-PTSD nominal cases were identified. Low C-PTSD prevalence reflected low concordance between PTSD and 'disturbances in self organization' (DSO) case assignment. The BPD and C-PTSD cases were aligned to more complex and severe symptom profiles. While the complex and severe presentations identified in the present study included core symptoms and clinical signs of BPD, they were also characterised by clinical-level inattention/over-activity and conduct problems. The present findings provide some support for the validity of the BPD construct for describing complex and severe psychopathology manifested by adolescents in foster care, and no support for the C-PTSD construct. However, the symptom profiles point to high variability in combinations of multiple symptom types that does not conform to traditional definitions of a 'diagnosable' mental disorder. Further research is needed to determine if complex post-maltreatment symptomatology can be validly conceptualised as one or more complex disorders.

    Abstract Background The lack of financial literacy among medical students and physicians is a well-documented problem that is yet to be sufficiently addressed. The full immersion of physicians into their scientific education and medical training makes it challenging to also comprehensively learn about personal finance. With the vast debt that most medical students undergo, it is crucial to focus on this issue. Methodology To address this challenge, faculty at The Florida State University College of Medicine (FSU COM) have created a fully online personal finance elective course for fourth-year medical students.
