Nephrogenic calciphylaxis is associated with multiple risk factors including long-term dialysis dependence, hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, parathyroid hormone derangements, vitamin K deficiency, obesity, diabetes mellitus, warfarin use, and female sex. Bariatric surgery known to cause altered absorption, leading mineral hormonal abnormalities in addition nutritional deficiency. Prior case reports on development following bariatric have been published, though are limited number. We report...
Calciphylaxis is a rare and serious disease that leads to vascular calcification cutaneous necrosis. This highly morbid condition characterized by painful nodules ulcers, which may become superinfected. has predilection for patients with end-stage renal (ESRD), prevalence ranging from 1% 4% in this population; however, nonnephrogenic subtype, usually associated warfarin use, exists.1
Herpes zoster, or shingles, is a common infectious disease, occurring in approximately 1 million people the United States annually.1 It characterized by painful, unilateral vesicular eruption restricted dermatomal distribution. Postherpetic neuralgia and ocular involvement are complications. Rarely, other neurologic dysfunction may occur important to recognize given potential severe sequelae. Here, we present case of herpes zoster complicated urologic gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Abstract The clinical features of 588 pediatric inpatients admitted with a diagnosis cellulitis were reviewed attention to diagnostic accuracy true (95.1%) versus pseudocellulitis (4.9%) and utilization specialist consultations (28.1% infectious disease, 6.1% dermatology). Laboratory abnormalities unable distinguish from pseudocellulitis, supporting previous studies that routine laboratory evaluation may be unnecessary for this diagnosis. Higher rates identified in cases involving...
The emergency department (ED) is a frequent source of care for pediatric patients with dermatologic conditions, possibly owing to limited access routine and urgent outpatient dermatology appointments. demographics, clinical characteristics, follow-up scheduling practices, attendance rates 50 142 adult evaluated by the consult service in ED were reviewed. High observed populations, majority receiving an appointment within 2 weeks. may play important role facilitating post-discharge care.
Isotretinoin is a systemic therapy approved for acne and has historically required lab monitoring in addition to adherence the iPLEDGE Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) given medication's teratogenic effects. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted expansion of telemedicine, acceptance remote pregnancy tests, relaxation practices. A retrospective review 142 pediatric patients was conducted, multivariate linear regression performed examine differences prescribing patterns pre-COVID during...
e22005 Background: TIL include antigen specific clonal T cells responding to tumor antigens (TA) in the microenvironment. Biological relevance of at PCM following ICI treatment MM is not clear. Since there overlap TA between primary and its metastasis, we hypothesized that site may serve as a biomarker response MM. Methods: We did retrospective analysis patients (pts.) receiving 2012 2019 an IRB approved protocol. Response survival 12, 24 36 months (mths) was correlated with TIL. Pts. who...
