Virtual Adaptation of Resident I-PASS Training Session During COVID-19.

Introduction: Effective communication during the patient handoff process is critical for ensuring patient safety. At our academic medical center, first-year interns complete hand-off training before starting clinical rotations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a virtual handoff training for residents as an alternative to in-person sessions due to limitations imposed by COVID-19.

Severe cholestatic jaundice associated with Graves' disease.

We describe a rare case of Graves' disease presenting with atrial fibrillation and severe cholestasis. An extensive evaluation for hepatobiliary causes of cholestasis, including hepatic biopsy, was entirely negative. He was successfully treated with methimazole and eventual thyroidectomy.

Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Paraspinal Muscle Metastatic Mass.

A 39-year-old male presented with a painful paraspinal mass, which had been present for several weeks. The mass had previously been treated with oral sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim DS, as the patient reported a history of "boils," with no improvement in his pain or size of the mass. No further diagnostic workup was pursued until he was admitted with intractable pain.
