We aimed to identify the prevalence and predictors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) or mortality in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.A retrospective cohort study adult patients admitted an integrated health care network New York metropolitan region between March 1, 2020 April 27, 2020. The final analysis included 9,407 with overall VTE rate 2.9% (2.4% medical ward 4.9% intensive unit [ICU]) a 26.1%. Most received prophylactic-dose thromboprophylaxis. Multivariable...
Abstract Background Vagus nerve stimulation is an investigational anti-inflammatory therapy targeting the nervous system to modulate immune activity. This study evaluated efficacy and safety of transcutaneous auricular VNS (ta-VNS) in patients with pediatric-onset Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods Participants were 10–21 years age mild/moderate CD UC fecal calprotectin (FC) > 200 ug/g within 4 weeks entry. Subjects randomized receive either ta-VNS cymba conchae...
SummaryTo gain insight into the timing of twinning, we have examined a closely related event, X-chromosome inactivation, in female MZ twin pairs. X-inactivation patterns peripheral blood and buccal mucosa were compared between monochorionic (MC-MZ) dichorionic (DC-MZ) twins. Overall, MC-MZ twins displayed highly similar patterns, whereas DC-MZ frequently differed their when both tissues tested. Previous experimental data suggest that commitment to X inactivation occurs there are 10–20 cells...

Preoperative malnutrition is increasingly prevalent in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Although prealbumin a widely used indicator of nutrition status, its use the preoperative assessment surgery not well defined. The purpose this study to determine impact levels on outcomes after surgery.Data were prospectively gathered from February 2013 July 69 Prealbumin obtained within 24 hours Patients divided into 2 groups based cutoff value 20 mg/dL.Of patients, 32 (46.4%) had ≤ mg/dL. There was...
Antithrombotic guidance statements for hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) suggest a universal thromboprophylactic strategy potential to escalate doses in high-risk patients. To date, no clear approach exists discriminate at high risk venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Auto-immune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) are known complications of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Rituximab, cyclophosphamide dexamethasone (RCD) effectively target lymphocytes inhibit autoimmune processes. We reviewed 21 patients with CLL treated for AIHA alone (n = 18), ITP 1) or both 2) the following RCD regimen: rituximab 375 mg/m(2) i.v. infusion given on day 1, 750-1000 2 12 mg 1-7 every 3 weeks. Response to treatment was seen in all 20...
To evaluate physician knowledge and perceptions about the American Board of Internal Medicine/American Geriatrics Society (ABIM/AGS) Choosing Wisely recommendations regarding percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in individuals with advanced dementia.Multicenter, mixed-mode, anonymous questionnaire.Three tertiary four community hospitals New York.Internal medicine physicians (N = 168).Physician PEG tubes dementia.Ninety-nine percent reported having cared for someone dementia; 95% had...
A low socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to disproportionate access health care in many diseases, leading worse disease severity at initial presentation. There is a paucity of these data the pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) population. We studied association SES, as measured by zip code–based median annual household income, with World Health Organization functional class (WHO‐FC) time first evaluation PHTN patients. All patients evaluated our center right heart catheterization revealing...
Increasing use of diagnostic radiography has led to concern about the malignant potential ionizing radiation. We aimed quantify cumulative effective dose (CED) from medical imaging in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and identify which are at greatest risk for high amounts image-related radiation exposure.A retrospective chart review pediatric IBD patients seen between January 1 May 30, 2008 was conducted. The received all radiology tests performed during course each patient's...
Cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic for ovarian and other cancers, leads to hypomagnesemia in most patients causes acute kidney injury (AKI) 25-30% of patients. Previously, we showed that magnesium deficiency worsens cisplatin-induced AKI replacement during cisplatin treatment protects against cisplatin-mediated non-tumor-bearing mice (Solanki MH, Chatterjee PK, Gupta M, Xue X, Plagov A, Metz Mintz R, Singhal PC, CN. Am J Physiol Renal 307: F369-F384, 2014). This study investigates...
Background: Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a common reason for admission to medical intensive care unit (MICU) and requires significant hospital resource utilization. Benzodiazepines are first-line therapy AWS in many units. We propose the use of symptom-triggered phenobarbital treatment as safe alternative benzodiazepines. Methods: This was retrospective observational study 4-year period, 2011 2015, all patients with admitted MICU 1 tertiary treated phenobarbital. A protocol used....
Operative laparoscopy is becoming routine in gynecologic surgery. This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of laparotomy for ovarian cystectomy adnexectomy. The medical records 32 patients who underwent operative adnexal masses (group L) were reviewed compared with those surgical S) similar indications. All sustained either an or group matched age, weight, history previous laparotomy. Median operating time L 90 min S 85 min. Blood loss significantly less (33.4 +/- 22 mL)...
<h3>Importance</h3> To help prevent surgical site infections (SSIs), recommendations by a national organization led to implementation of mandatory operating room policy in large multicenter health care required use disposable perioperative jackets. <h3>Objective</h3> assess whether the jackets is associated with incidence SSIs. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> Surgical infection data for patients undergoing clean procedures were retrospectively reviewed from 12 hospitals during...
