    Identifying and troubleshooting low-frequency artifacts mimicking atrial flutter caused by deep brain stimulator
    (Elsevier, 2021-07-22) Stelzer, Mitchell A.; Padanilam, Mathew S.; Miller, Jennifer J.; Foreman, Jason; Golden, Keith; Ahmed, Asim S.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Electromagnetic interference from deep brain stimulators (DBS) is known to cause high-frequency artifact on some forms of cardiac telemetry.1 Here, we (1) present a unique case in which a DBS caused a low-frequency artifact mimicking typical atrial flutter leading to referral to electrophysiology; (2) demonstrate a method to confirm this; and (3) provide recommendations of how to minimize artifact and work around this interaction in future rhythm monitoring attempts.

    Moraxella canis induced sepsis from dog's lick
    (Elsevier, 2022-01-10) Padanilam, Mathew S.; Qasim, Muhammad; Emery, Christopher L.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    Moraxella canis was first identified in 1993 as normal flora of the oral cavities of dogs and cats. The species has been reported to cause localized infections in immunocompromised humans only three times. We report the first description of severe disseminated infection attributed to M. canis.
