Article Synopsis
- Leontiasis ossea, or craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, is a rare condition that causes abnormal growth of facial bones, often linked to chronic kidney disease and high parathyroid hormone levels.
- A case of a 30-year-old male with severe facial swelling and bone changes highlights the rapid progression of symptoms after poor dialysis access and the persistence of hyperparathyroidism despite treatment efforts.
- The article also reviews the underlying causes, imaging techniques used for diagnosis, and management strategies for this complex disease.
Purpose: Musculoskeletal conditions are a common reason for primary care visits, and they are being increasingly addressed at televisits. We therefore examined outcomes of musculoskeletal radiographs ordered at in-person and telemedicine primary care visits, which have implications for patient care and the economic impact of telemedicine.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of musculoskeletal radiograph orders placed April 1, 2019-March 31, 2021 at a major academic health system.
Objective: The goals of this quality improvement project are to assess the BRIDGE Student-Run Free Clinic's adherence to the 2019 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and to compare our rate of statin prescription to the national average and to uninsured groups.
Methods: A quality improvement project of 205 patients qualified by initial inclusion criteria at a student-run free healthcare clinic. Socio-demographic information, clinical measures associated with cardiovascular risk, and documentation regarding statin prescription at the follow-up visit after a patient's first lipid panel were abstracted from medical records.
