Corticosteroid dosing in the range of 0.5-2 mg/kg/day methylprednisolone equivalents has become a standard part management intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19 pneumonia based on positive results randomized trials and meta-analysis. Alongside such conventional dosing, administration 1 gm daily (pulse dosing) also been reported literature claims favorable outcomes. Comparisons between disparate approaches to corticosteroids for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are lacking. In...
“Downhill” esophageal varices are formed in upper two-thirds of the esophagus as a consequence superior vena cava obstruction. We present case 55-year-old African-American female with medical history multiple comorbidities, including end-stage renal disease, who presented an gastrointestinal bleed and was found to have distended neck veins on physical examination. She gave insertion intravenous central line her area for hemodialysis purposes about six years previously. An endoscopy showed...
Coccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal infection first described in 1892. More than 95% of annual cases occur Arizona and California. It an opportunistic (OI) transmitted via inhalation airborne spores (arthroconidia) rarely percutaneous inoculation into tissue or solid organ transplantation patients who are immunocompromised with HIV. With the advent antiretroviral therapy (ART), incidence OIs has markedly reduced; however, continue to occur, particularly present late for medical care...
PURPOSE: Secondary infections are well-described complications in patients with viral pneumonia and associated increased mortality morbidity (1).A recent meta-analysis reported that secondary critically ill Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) intensive care unit (ICU) around 14% (2).Most of the studies limited by false-positive cultures non-sterile body fluids (2).Our study aims to assess burden focusing on positive rate sterile fluid ICU patients, examine risk factors their impact outcome....

The most common cause of esophageal varices is portal hypertension. ‘Downhill’ are in the proximal esophagus as a consequence superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction and considered to be among rare causes gastrointestinal bleeding. We present case recurrent upper bleeding from chronic SVC thrombosis patient with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis. A 55-year-old female hemodialysis, presented abdominal pain vomiting large quantity bright red blood. She remembers similar episode blood past....
Introduction:Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes appear to be complications of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Implicated mechanisms include severity inflammation in these patients that leads endothelial injury a more severe prothrombotic state. Patients with presentation at higher risk. Based on observational data, intracranial hemorrhage occurs 0.2-0.9% hospitalized COVID-19 patients, while ischemic stroke 0.9-2.5%. Small reports have indicated d-dimer levels preceding the are than...
Introduction In obese patients, it is thought that the excess of macronutrients stimulates adipocytes to generate cytokines such as interleukin-6 creating a pro-inflammatory and oxidative state leading defective innate immunity. This environment potentially creates conducive ground for hyperinflammatory response mediated by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Therefore, in addition accepted risk factors advanced age, pregnancy diabetes, obesity be an important...
Introduction: Myocardial injury as evidenced by elevated cardiac troponin levels may occur in 7-36% of hospitalized patients with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Studies have shown that COVID-19 are more likely to require the intensive care unit (ICU) and mechanical ventilation a higher risk death. However, studies on impact troponins at time hospital admission mortality ICU limited. Here we aim characterize, compare, analyze our institution's ICUs who had troponins. Methods:This study is...
Rationale: There is currently limited and conflicting data regarding the effect of immunosuppression on severity outcomes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Mortality rates solid organ transplant recipients hospitalized with COVID-19 range as widely 5-67%. Some these reports therefore seem to suggest that immunosuppressed patients have a similar mortality when compared non-immunosuppressed patients. Also, there incidence bacterial fungal superinfections in critically ill who are...
