Adult-onset hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by dysregulated immune activation. Diagnosing HLH poses significant challenges due to its nonspecific clinical presentation, which often mimics infections, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases. Early recognition prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy are crucial, as delayed treatment associated with high risk mortality. We present unique case triggered combination...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) presents challenges in management, particularly cases refractory to corticosteroids. Thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R) agonists, such as eltrombopag, offer alternative therapeutic options. We report a case of 72-year-old South Asian male with steroid-refractory chronic ITP who achieved favorable response biweekly eltrombopag dosing. Platelet was comparable daily dosing, suggesting the efficacy less frequent administration schedules. This approach may...

Troponins have close to 100% sensitivity when drawn 6 12 hours after the start of chest pain in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Length hospital stay (LOS) is a marker efficient management. Since troponin measurements at 3 (Q3H) and 6-hour (Q6H) intervals comparable efficacy for ACS, we suggest considering Q3H troponins as opposed Q6H admissions shorten LOS. A retrospective review 389 patients who presented Stony Brook Southampton Hospital 2020 2021 with was conducted. Two patient care...

Introduction: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) are subepithelial neoplasms characterized by the expression of KIT protein (CD117 antigen). They most common non-epithelial GI tract, often found in stomach and distal small intestine, with GISTs undiagnosed. have malignant potential, but nodal involvement is rare, explaining why surgical resection usually first line treatment. Adjuvant treatment following or neoadjuvant setting unresectable/metastatic may produce an improved median...
