An 82-year-old female presented with multiple oral ulcers and malena for 1 week. Her laboratory tests revealed pancytopenia acute renal failure. She had history of rheumatoid arthritis which she was taking 7.5 mg methotrexate weekly stage 4 chronic kidney disease from diabetic nephropathy. During the hospital stay, developed pneumonia septic shock requiring norepinephrine vasopressin. underwent continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. Leucovorin, filgrastim, packed red blood cell platelet...
Carney complex is a multiple neoplasia syndrome involving cardiac, endocrine, neural and cutaneous tumors with variety of pigmented skin lesions. It has an autosomal dominant mode inheritance. Approximately 7% cardiac myxomas are related to the complex. Myxomas that occur as part affect both sexes equal frequency. Cardiac reported mostly in left side heart less common on right side. As per our review, this first case ventricle myxoma. We present rare recurrent myxoma patient later diagnosed...

Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte disorder in inpatients resulting mainly from an imbalance water homeostasis. Intravascular fluid status assessment pivotal but often challenging given multimorbidity, polypharmacy and diuretics use. We evaluated utility of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as adjunct tool to standard practice for severe hyponatraemia patients.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a transient systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle which usually seen in elderly women, often following physical or emotional stressful event. Little known about prognostic factors affecting recovery function. Thirty-six patients diagnosed with TTC from January 2006 to 2017 at our hospital were included. Median time ejection fraction (EF) was calculated be 25 days. Early defined as less than equal days (group 1) and late more 2). Demographic clinical...
First described in Japan, takotsubo cardiomyopathy is increasingly becoming recognized worldwide as a cause of sudden and reversible diminished left ventricular function characterized by apical ballooning hyperkinesis the basal segments, often with symptoms mimicking myocardial infarction. Associated physical or emotional stress, its exact pathogenesis has not been established, though evidence supports neurohumoral etiology. Additionally, recurrence this condition rare. In report, we present...
Background Patient satisfaction is one of the key indicators health care quality. We aim to identify patient's needs and expectations in a breast cancer clinic provide patient-centered better overall satisfaction. Methods A 17-item survey was administered 110 patients at clinic. The designed after thorough literature review approved by an oncologist palliative physician. Results Self-reported knowledge about disease reported adequate 90.9% our yet only 55.45% could stage their cancer. More...
There is good evidence that 50% or more of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are unnecessary. To curtail inappropriate RBC at our hospital, real-time clinical decision support was implemented in electronic medical record (EMR) alerts clinicians to the patient’s most recent pretransfusion hemoglobin value upon order entry and provides Best Practice Advisory. This a soft pop-up alert which activated when exceeds 7 g/dL. The ordering clinician can either honor (by cancelling order) override...
A 69-year-old male presented with a 3-week history of fatigue. Physical examination revealed an Osler's node on the right index finger (see Supplementary data online, Figure S1 ), Janeway lesion in palm S2 and splinter haemorrhage middle finger. Laboratory showed leucocytosis methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus grew …
