Background Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics prescribed in the outpatient setting, though they have serious side effects. This study evaluates the impact of stewardship interventions on total and inappropriate prescribing of fluoroquinolones in outpatient settings in a large county hospital and health system. Methods In an effort to decrease inappropriate outpatient fluoroquinolone usage, a multimodal antimicrobial stewardship initiative was implemented in November 2016. Education regarding the risks, benefits, and appropriate uses of fluoroquinolones was provided to providers in different outpatient settings, Food and Drug Administration warnings were added to all oral fluoroquinolone orders, an outpatient order set for cystitis treatment was created, and fluoroquinolone susceptibilities were suppressed when appropriate. Charts from October 2016, 2017, and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed if the patient encounter occurred in primary care clinics, emergency departments, or urgent care centers within Parkland Health & Hospital System and a fluoroquinolone was prescribed. Inappropriate use was defined as a fluoroquinolone prescription for cystitis, bronchitis, or sinusitis in a patient without a history of Pseudomonas aeruginosa or multidrug-resistant organisms and without drug allergies that precluded use of other oral antibiotics. Results Total fluoroquinolone prescriptions per 1000 patient visits decreased significantly by 39% (P less then .01), and inappropriate fluoroquinolone use decreased from 53% to 34% (P less then .01). More than 90% of inappropriate fluoroquinolone prescriptions were given for cystitis, while bronchitis and sinusitis accounted for only 4.4% and 1.6% of inappropriate indications, respectively. Conclusion A multimodal stewardship initiative appears to effectively reduce both total and inappropriate outpatient fluoroquinolone prescriptions.We report 8 cases of coccidioidomycosis associated with ruxolitinib treatment. Among 135 patients living in the coccidioidal-endemic region receiving ruxolitinib, 5 cases were diagnosed after starting and 4 had extrathoracic dissemination. Periodic serological screening while on ruxolitinib is warranted for patients residing in the coccidioidal-endemic region.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease worldwide, with potential causes stemming from obesity, metabolic syndrome, genetic disorders, and drug toxicity. We report a 42-year-old woman with lipodystrophy and NAFLD due to a pathogenic variant in the LMNA (D300N) gene. This case report attempts to encourage clinicians to consider genetic diseases, specifically lipodystrophies, when working up uncommon causes of NAFLD.Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. In particular, cases in which long-term survival is achieved by patients with local recurrence of CD-associated rectal cancer are rare. We report a case in which curative resection was achieved for a 47-year-old man with long-standing CD and locally recurrent rectal cancer. In this case, the patient obtained a long-term survival without recurrence after surgical resection with adjuvant chemotherapy and immunosuppressive therapy. In the management of inflammatory bowel disease patients with cancer, the management of both cancer and inflammatory bowel disease treatment is important for the long-term prognosis.We report a 62-year-old woman in the intensive care unit who developed hematochezia. Her endoscopic findings revealed diffusely bleeding esophageal ulcers related to herpes simplex virus. The bleeding was treated successfully with Hemospray.Dengue is an arboviral disease of significant burden in tropical countries. It commonly affects the liver, ranging in presentation from asymptomatic transaminitis to acute liver failure. We present a young woman from India who developed acute liver failure because of dengue shock syndrome and improved without a liver transplant. We review the disease characteristics and management of dengue, with a focus on the natural history of illness and how to approach the possible need for liver transplant in these patients.Ectopic varices are a rare sequelae of portal hypertension and present in unique ways, which may not always prompt consideration. Furthermore, endoscopic interventions on venous collaterals in the setting of portal hypertension affect the portal system hemodynamics, which may further complicate the clinical picture. We report a man with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis who developed hemocholecyst complicated by perforation with hemoperitoneum soon after endoscopic variceal ligation of the esophageal varices in the setting of retrospectively discovered gallbladder varices.Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) allow transmural drainage of the gallbladder for endoscopic management of acute cholecystitis in nonsurgical candidates. Delayed bleeding from cholecystogastrostomy or gallbladder after the LAMS placement has not been reported. There are no data for the replacement of LAMS with plastic stents to prevent recurrent delayed bleeding. We present a case to describe an alternative treatment approach for cholecystogastrostomy bleeding related to a buried LAMS.We report an unusual case of Barrett's esophagus with prominent intramucosal Russell bodies, also known as Russell body Barrett's esophagus. We present this case to emphasize the importance of recognizing this unusual entity. It also represents a potential diagnostic pitfall because the distended plasma cells may be mistaken for signet ring cells of gastric adenocarcinoma or low-grade lymphoma. Hence, an awareness of this entity is important to avoid diagnostic confusion.Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) describes a potentially irreversible injury to esophageal mucosa secondary to vascular hypoperfusion. An 84-year-old man was admitted for the correction of a displaced nephrostomy tube and management of acute kidney injury. During his stay, the patient developed odynophagia and acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Despite mild initial symptoms, diffuse circumferential black esophageal mucosa was visualized on endoscopy, and a diagnosis of AEN was made. This unique case highlights the association between AEN and leukopenia, vascular disease, hypercoagulability, and infection.
