As a result of the cardiovascular strain of pregnancy, patients who have developed peripartum cardiomyopathy, particularly those with persistent left ventricular dysfunction, are strongly advised against subsequent pregnancies. If a subsequent pregnancy should occur in the setting of a diminished left ventricular ejection fraction, the risk of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality increases significantly. This case describes a 25-year-old Caucasian female patient who became pregnant eighteen months after developing peripartum cardiomyopathy. The association between barriers to adequate care and increased development of peripartum cardiomyopathy in both a rural and global setting has been recognized by several researchers. Literature has shown that expectant mothers from underserved areas, those of African descent and those who smoke, have hypertension, or use cocaine carry a greater risk of developing peripartum cardiomyopathy. Therefore, in addition to the related complications of peripartum cardiomyopathy, practitioners in underserved areas with high-risk populations should be aware of the risk factors and pathophysiologic manifestations inherent with the disease.","PeriodicalId":23032,"journal":{"name":"The West Virginia medical journal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85432892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to our case, only one other case was diagnosed with ultrasound.\u0000**Case Report:** We report an ultrasound guided diagnosis of an incarcerated appendix within a Spigelian hernia in a 72-year-old female. Ultrasound expedited the patient’s care by avoiding CT scan protocol. Upon laparoscopic evaluation the appendix was visualized within the hernia and photographed, we converted to an open appendectomy with a hernia repair without mesh to avoid contamination. She did very well post operatively and had no signs of recurrence or other complications several months after the operation. \u0000**Conclusion:** Incarcerated appendix within Spigelian hernia is a once in a lifetime experience for a general surgeon. Ultrasound has been shown now in two reported cases to assist in the diagnosis of this rare entity. Tissue repair as we performed for this type of hernia avoids the risk of infected mesh.","PeriodicalId":23032,"journal":{"name":"The West Virginia medical journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"5118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78484242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report aims to add its share to the limited number of cases of Susac syndrome seen worldwide. This case report sheds light on a Caucasian woman diagnosed with Susac syndrome in West Virginia. The patient presented to the ER with syncope and altered mental status.

This study focuses on the expansion of this program involving the addition of online reproductive health modules on the program website (www.marshallteentalk.org). The purpose of this study was to identify if the use of online modules contributed to overall reproductive health knowledge among a group of high school students. Topics covered in the afterschool telehealth sessions and online modules included Anatomy, Relationships, Birth Control, and STD prevention. Knowledge scores were measured by a set of 20 reproductive health questions given as a pre and post test before and after the program. Thirty-five students voluntarily participated in at least one telehealth session and/or online module. The majority of students who completed the modules liked the format and found the information to be easily understood. The differences in overall knowledge scores were significantly improved from pre to post test (14.38 vs 17.14, p<0.001), however, the completion of the online modules did not contribute significantly to an improvement in reproductive health knowledge.","PeriodicalId":23032,"journal":{"name":"The West Virginia medical journal","volume":"234 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89033000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its incidence in pregnancy of 5 per 100,000 is dwarfed by more common, benign causes of headache, complicating diagnosis.\u0000\u0000CASE: We presented a 41 year old at 38 weeks 5 days gestational age that presented local hospital reporting a “terrible brain freeze” after eating ice cream. After transfer of care to a tertiary care center a non-contrast computed tomography scan revealed subarachnoid blood layering in the basal cistern suspicious for sequelae of aneurysm rupture. After a cesarean section was performed the patient was transported to the interventional radiology suite where rupture of a 3mm left paraopthalmic artery aneurysm was confirmed and coiled. A non-ruptured 4mm right paraopthalmic artery aneurysm was also diagnosed. The patient was moved to the Intensive Care Unit in stable condition following the procedures and was discharged post-op day 7. She returned one month later for coiling of the right paraopthalmic artery. CONCLUSION: Headaches during pregnancy can indicate a variety of disease processes. Subarachnoid hemorrhage has high morbidity and mortality for mother and fetus making prompt diagnosis and treatment crucial. This case highlights the safety and importance of prompt cranial imaging in pregnancy when clinically appropriate.","PeriodicalId":23032,"journal":{"name":"The West Virginia medical journal","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78472062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
