Marijuana is the most common drug of abuse in United States. has more than 460 active chemical compounds including δ-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It acts via CB1 and CB2 receptors that are distributed various tissues body. known to cause tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension, decrease time angina, myocardial infarction cardiac arrest. Till date, four cases myocarditis/perimyocarditis associated with marijuana use have been reported. In one such case, it led development heart failure a...
Citrobacter koseri is a gram-negative bacillius that belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. It an uncommon pathogen typically causes meningitis and brain abscesses in children, however central nervous system (CNS) infections are rarely found adults. We present case of C. immunocompetent adult secondary intestinal micro-perforation caused by Strongyloides A 76-year-old man admitted for asthma exacerbation developed septic shock. lumbar puncture revealed bacterial meningitis. Blood CSF...
Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a highly morbid cardiopulmonary disease characterized by substantial pathobiological and clinical heterogeneity, which believed to underlie variable treatment-response observed in trials at point-of-care during real-world practice. Utilizing patient-specific pathogenetic information inform drug selection for use practice expected improve efficacy of PAH drugs, but such strategies are currently lacking. Methods: We conducted retrospective...
Bronchiectasis is characterized by permanent destruction of the airways that presents with productive cough, as well bronchial wall thickening and luminal dilatation on computed tomographic (CT) scan chest; it associated high mortality. Accumulating data suggests higher rates bronchiectasis among HIV-positive population. This case series involves 14 patients HIV followed at two major urban institutions from 1999 to 2018. Demographics, clinical presentation, microbiology, radiographic...
Sepsis is one of the leading causes morbidity and mortality within healthcare system remains a diagnostic therapeutic challenge. A major issue in diagnosis sepsis understanding pathophysiologic mechanism, which revolves around host immune activation dysregulated responses. African Americans are more likely to experience severe with higher rates compared general population. This pilot study characterized multiple inflammatory markers proteases plasma primarily American Afro-Caribbean patients...
