g psychiatrist's perception of patient adherence and the blood drug level. It was determined to be 0.14 which is consistent with no agreement between the two measurements. Conclusions Treating psychiatrists inaccurately estimated oral antipsychotic medication adherence based on clinical impression alone. Making an objective measure of adherence available at the time of an appointment could help psychiatrists recognize nonadherence in real-time and inform prescribing decisions.There have been an increasing number of functions attributed to the basal ganglia, such as cognitive, emotional, and motor functions. As a result, there is a growing interest to localize these functions to different subregions of the basal ganglia. Most research on localization has been conducted on animals. The experiments subdivide the basal ganglia regions into motor, limbic, and associative functioning areas. There are sparse reports on the localization of functions in humans. This paper attempts to provide such localization of function with a focus on the globus pallidus externus of the basal ganglia. We present the case of a young man who had impairment in mixed cognitive, perceptual, and mood disturbances. No significant motor symptoms were noted in the patient. Brain imaging demonstrated dense bilateral calcifications in the basal ganglia, bilaterally localizing to the anterior region of the globus pallidus externus. We discuss our findings in light of recent studies that imply that isolated pathology in the anterior region of the globus pallidus externus may be associated with behavioral, mood, and cognitive disturbance without motor symptoms.Carcinoma of the accessory axillary breast is uncommon, with an incidence of 0.2 to 0.6%. We report a patient whose biopsy of a suspicious lesion in the axilla present for one year revealed invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). There was presence of breast tissue and absence of lymphoid tissue in the biopsy, suggesting a breast malignancy. Magnetic resonance mammography was suggestive of the lesion well away from the normal breast, confirming an accessory axillary breast. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/wnt-c59-c59.html She was offered wide local excision of the lesion with axillary lymph node dissection and modified radical mastectomy (MRM), and she chose the latter. Her post-operative biopsy showed the involvement of all the 25 lymph nodes harvested. Any suspicious lesion in the axilla should be promptly worked up for malignancy. Accessory axillary breast carcinoma, if confirmed, can be addressed with wide local excision along with axillary lymph node dissection. However, further studies should clarify this and the outcomes.Epiphyseal injury involving both the radial and ulnar epiphysis at the wrist is rare and presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report a case of a young adolescent female who presented with such an injury after a fall. She had a Salter-Harris Type 2 epiphyseal injury involving the distal end of both the radius and ulna. She was treated with gentle manipulation under anesthesia and stabilization with K-wires. We recommend early reduction with gentle manipulation for these injuries. The case is presented for its rarity and we have described our preferred treatment. Complications of these injuries involve growth disruption with possible length discrepancy between the radius and ulna, deformities, injury to the triangular fibro-cartilagenous complex and rarely median neuropathy.Background and objective Medical television (TV) shows are known to exaggerate medical scenarios, including relationships among/between medical staff and patients. Unfortunately, sexual harassment occurs within the medical and nursing profession. The objective of this study was to analyze the depiction of sexual harassment in eight popular medical TV shows. Methods The first 10 episodes of the first season of eight popular medical TV shows (St. Elsewhere, ER, Scrubs, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy, Nurse Jackie, The Good Doctor, and The Resident) were viewed and coded by two reviewers. The data abstracted included demographics of those involved in the sexual harassment and examples of sexual harassment depicted. Results The analysis was based on 62 instances of sexual harassment. The victim of sexual harassment was female in 77% (49/62) of instances. The most common relationships depicted pertaining to the acts of sexual harassment were attending physicians toward attending physicians (12/62, 19.3%), interns toward interns (8/62, 12.9%), attending physicians towards interns (7/62, 11.2%), and patients toward attending physicians (5/62, 8.1%). The most common examples of sexual harassment portrayed were telling sexual anecdotes/jokes (23/62, 37.1%), inappropriate touching (12/62, 19.4%), and making sexual comments about appearance, such as body parts or clothes (12/62, 19.4%). Conclusion Based on our analysis of medical TV shows, instances of sexual harassment occurred most commonly between attending physicians, and most of them were associated with sexual anecdotes/jokes. Medical and nursing professionals may draw on relevant instances from medical TV shows to discuss how to recognize and deal with sexual harassment in the workplace in order to promote a safe and nurturing environment devoid of harassment.Hyponatremia in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is common and can be due to several reasons. However, hypernatremia in DKA is rare and can be life-threatening. Its exact etiology is not clear and several mechanisms related to water deficit from inadequate oral intake and free water loss that supersedes the electrolyte loss through diarrhea or vomiting have been proposed. Treating the DKA more aggressively than the hypernatremia itself, choosing a hypoosmolar fluid, and switching to D5-0.45% saline, when glucose has decreased, are some of the vital considerations for the management of hypernatremia in DKA. We present a 44-year-old male patient with an unclear history of DKA with unusually severe hypernatremia that gradually responded to aggressive management of DKA with rigorous IV hydration and the above-mentioned strategies.Scapular fractures are uncommon, and the spine of the scapula is a particularly rare site of injury. As a result, our knowledge of these injuries, the management options and the functional outcome is limited. We report a rare case of a scapular spine fracture in a patient with rotator cuff arthropathy with no obvious history of trauma. The pathophysiology behind this is unclear; however, we suggest that a combination of cuff arthropathy, steroid use and chronic cough contributed to it. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is commonly used to treat rotator cuff arthropathy, and the effect of scapular spine fractures on surgical outcomes is unknown. It is possible that the deltoid function provides a better indicator of post-operative outcomes.
