COVID-19 became a global pandemic in early 2020. While well known for its pulmonary manifestations, the virus also has number of cardiac manifestations as well. Takotsubo syndrome scarcely been reported patients with COVID-19, but it is possible that cytokine storm associated infection can trigger underlying risk factors (emotional distress, physical history psychiatric disorders).
Abstract WHIM syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant immunodeficiency disorder and an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of its main clinical presentations: Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, Myelokathexis. It stems mainly mutations where there gain function in chemokine receptor CXCR4, which extensively located on leukocytes, significantly affects balance immune system. Many therapeutic strategies have been widely explored for several years this disorder. Mavorixafor, CXCR4...
BACKGROUND:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory illness. However, with rising numbers of cases, multiple reports cardiovascular manifestations have emerged. We present case COVID-19 infection complicated by myopericarditis and tamponade requiring drainage. CASE REPORT:An 82-year-old woman comorbidities presented five days productive cough, fever chills, intermittent diarrhea. She tested positive for COVID-19. Index EKG revealed new diffuse T-wave inversions...
Background There have been varying impacts of COVID-19 on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic communities in the US. Recent literature suggests that Black Americans highest unadjusted adjusted mortality rates from COVID-19, while White lowest rates. However, role status comorbidities these disparities health outcomes are unclear. Thus, purpose this study is to evaluate how race impact patients hospitalized with a large care system Mid-Atlantic region. Material Methods We retrospectively...
[b]BACKGROUND[/b] Acute bacterial pericarditis is rare, and the incidence numbers have been declining in modern antibiotic era. Purulent a fatal disease which mortality rates can reach 100% if left untreated. [b]CASE REPORT[/b] We present case of primary purulent with polymicrobial growth including Micromonas micro, Prevotella intermedia Fusobacterium species, all are anaerobic flora oral cavity. Constant re-accumulation pericardial effusion led patient to recurrent echocardiographic...
Background: The Impella 5.5® is commonly inserted via the axillary artery (AX) in patients with cardiogenic shock. Insertion of through left AX requires crossing aortic arch, and possibly a divergent angle insertion valve. However, there limited data on comparison choice laterality access, both terms technicality procedure as well outcomes device support. Methods: We performed single-center retrospective cohort analysis who underwent implantation between December 2020 November 2022 (N=28)....
“We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.”—Martin Luther King Jr. ([1][1]) The foregoing quotation holds true in the hearts of many immigrants who often navigate troubled waters hopes a better future. Traditionally, international medical graduates (IMGs) have
Rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive malignant soft-tissue sarcoma that develop from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. Less than 1% of all adult solid cancers are sarcomas, and RMSs represent less 2-5% sarcomas. RMS divided into three main subtypes: Embryonal, alveolar pleomorphic (PRMS). Most common subtype in adults PRMS. primary sites extremities, trunk wall, genitourinary organs. Metastasis often found at diagnosis. 5-year overall survival rates were reported the Surveillance,...
SARS-CoV-2 is a novel viral illness originating out of Wuhan China in late 2019. This global pandemic has infected nearly 3 million people and accounted for 200 000 deaths worldwide, with those numbers still climbing.We present 54-year-old patient who developed respiratory failure requiring endotracheal intubation from her infection SARS-CoV-2. was subsequently found to have right ventricular thrombus bilateral pulmonary emboli, likely contributing status. On the 14th day hospitalization,...
Introduction & objective -One of the poor clinical outcomes in intracranial hemorrhage is hematoma expansion. We aimed to determine association swirl sign with expansion.Methods-Fifty patients spontaneous presenting between January 2021 July 2023 who underwent an initial CT at presentation (CT1) and follow up (CT2) within next 96 hours our hospital were retrospectively identified. The was identified on non-contrast CT. haematoma volume repeated CTs calculated correlated descriptive...
Background The right to left ventricular diameter ratio (RV/LV) is a key imaging parameter used in risk stratification of pulmonary embolism. While having RV/LV above cutoff value 0.9 usually attributed pathological RV dilatation, we hypothesized that increased may also be attributable reduced LV filling. We aimed examine and diameters as independent predictors PE outcomes patients presenting with intermediate or high-risk PE. Methods measured on pre-intervention echocardiograms performed...
Background: SimpleSense (Nanowear, New York, NY) is an FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) based wearable diagnostic platform with multiparametric monitoring including 2-leads of ECG, thoracic impedance, heart sounds, blood pressure, posture and activity (Fig. 1 A). We explored the correlation between SimpleSense-derived invasive hemodynamics (HD) parameters during right catheterization (RHC). The assessed included amplitudes width sounds S1 S2, ECG amplitudes, R to S2 times B), pulse...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a focus of infection which effects the endocardium, specifically heart valves or intra-cardiac devices.A 64-year-old male with gastric carcinoma and no prior cardiac history presented to emergency room altered mental status. Initial investigations showed patient had leukocytosis left shift. Blood cultures taken upon arrival eventually grew Esherichia coli, thought be from urinary tract, although initial urinalysis was delayed until after initiation antibiotics....
