Despite the evidence that complicated rheumatic diseases are more prevalent and severe in ethnic minorities, rheumatology research is afflicted with inadequate patient representation. It lacking socioeconomic diversity. The objective of this study to identify barriers enrollment propose possible solutions overcome these barriers. In study, 184 patients from two clinics (Safety Net clinic, a university-based clinic) were surveyed for concerns regarding participation clinical research....
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome results from genetic sequence variations of the tumor suppressor MEN1 gene, which codes for protein menin. Individuals with are prone to developing multiple tumors involving and nonendocrine organs. associated liposarcomas has not been documented previously. We highlight a case presenting metastatic adrenal liposarcoma.A 41-year-old Hispanic man history nephrolithiasis skin lesions presented emergency department abdominal pain. He was found...

Methods: A review of 19 different cardiovascular treatment is one example lack outcomes currently exist. The...
Osteoporosis is a disease increasing in prevalence and growing public health concern. However, care gaps the diagnosis management of osteoporosis exist. One factors contributing to this observation may be that does not receive significant attention particularly during internal medicine residency training.

Abstract Disclosure: J.L. Azocar Villalobos: None. B. Godasi: T. Duro: C. Lovato: Background: Hypercalcemia from immobility is rare, typically seen in young men with spinal cord injuries, but it has also been reported elderly patients co-morbidities after sustaining a vascular event. The condition characterized by increased bone resorption skeletal unloading, which leads to hypercalcemia and decreased levels of parathyroid hormone 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D. This, turn, results formation...
Background: Quantifying ten-year cardiovascular risk can be challenging. Different online calculators provide different estimates and use only one point in time. However, factors occur over the lifetime of individual. Purpose: This manuscript provides three solutions to improving assessment individuals at intermediate risk. Methods: Measuring Lipoprotein(a)—Lp(a) is recommended for assessing all who are category by standard calculators. Lp(a) primarily determined genetic inheritance. It has...
Abstract Disclosure: T. Duro: None. Introduction: Primary adrenal insufficiency due to infectious adrenalitis is not common in the United States. When it occurs, most culprits are tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, and HIV-related manifestations. We present a rare case of disseminated coccidiomycosis presenting with hypercalcemia, insufficiency, right mass. Case Report: A 73-year-old Hispanic man living New Mexico history paraesophageal hernia thoracic aortic aneurysm was admitted hospital during...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Adrenal myelolipomas are rare, benign adrenal tumors composed of adipose and hematopoietic tissue. The first mass was identified by Gierke in 1905 named Oberling 1929. Myelolipomas often coexist with CAH other hormonal disorders although this relationship is still unclear. We present a rare case giant bilateral patient CAH. CASE REPORT A 28-year-old female history due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency diagnosed at birth presented our endocrinology clinic after being lost...
Abstract Background Reliable laboratory assays are of paramount importance in the field endocrinology, as our ability to make diagnoses and recommend appropriate treatment, rely heavily on them. Clinical Case A 36-year-old woman presented clinic with a history 30-pound weight gain over course year hypertension that was sub-optimally controlled two antihypertensive medications.
