Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is now considered a pandemic causing disease (COVID-19), multiple fatalities and morbidities which have been associated with it worldwide. We report severe pneumonia acute respiratory distress syndrome due to coinfection SARS-COV-2 Parainfluenza 4 virus in Hispanic 21 year old male Florida, USA. The case represents the importance of prompt diagnosis awareness potential co-infection other viruses this novel deadly virus.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic causing multiple fatalities and morbidities worldwide. We report case of severe pneumonia acute respiratory distress syndrome due to coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 Mycobacterium abscessus in an elderly patient myeloma Florida, USA. Case Presentation. An 84-year-old male medical history significant for not remission was sent the emergency department rule out COVID-19 infection prior continuing his chemotherapy sessions. At presentation, he...
Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) causing a pandemic worldwide in 2020. There are other noninfectious diseases that can present exactly as COVID-19, and management approach completely different, hence importance of understanding having wide differential patients presenting similar characteristics. Case Report. A 23-year-old male, history childhood asthma, presented to Emergency Department hospital south Florida USA complaints 2-day...
BACKGROUND:Histoplasmosis results from the inhalation of spores fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum. A case is presented pulmonary histoplasmosis associated with altered mental state and hypercalcemia following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). CASE REPORT:A 75-year-old man a five-day history AML treated transplantation, weakness, fatigue, slow mentation. Computed tomography (CT) brain was unremarkable. Laboratory investigations showed serum...
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is often considered an inflammatory disease characterized by tendon microtears that are followed incomplete reparative response leads to chronic pain and decreased function on the upper extremity. A modality commonly used for treatment of LE injection corticosteroids. Evidence supports corticosteroid injections be effective short-term intervention lacks intermediate long-term relief as well having negative effects tenocyte proliferation, which essential in tissue...
SUMMARY To investigate the effect of combination dexamethasone (Dex) and sodium ipodate (SI) on hyperthyroidism, we studied 24 patients with typical GRAVES' disease, divided into four groups six persons each. Three (Study I) were acutely (24 h) to determine effects Dex (5 mg every 12 h intramuscularly), SI (one oral dose 3 g) both drugs at same doses, upon T4, T3, rT3 0900 before therapy was started later. The group that had a similar T3 decrement 25·9±4·0% 35·8±5·0%, respectively, ( P <...
BACKGROUND:Ecthyma gangrenosum is an uncommon cutaneous infection commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa affecting typically immunocompromised patients. The presence of ecthyma can be associated with severe systemic often a fatal prognosis. Most cases occur around the axilla, buttocks, and limbs; scrotum rarely affected. CASE REPORT:A 68-year-old male previously diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, presented left scrotal pain, fever, rigors. Physical examination showed 2 ulcerating lesions...
Abstract Background First responders (FRs) may have a significant risk of coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) infection than the general population due to job-related exposures. We aimed determine prevalence and exposure patterns COVID-19 among FRs. Methods Between March April 2020, FRs in Broward County, Florida, were screened for by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay using nasopharyngeal swabs. Demographics positive rate summarized. Results A total 3375 infection. The...
BACKGROUND:Malaria is the infection caused by inoculation with mostly obligate intraerythrocytic protozoa of genus Plasmodium. Severe malaria manifests as multiple organ dysfunction high parasitemia counts characterized coma, stupor, and severe metabolic acidosis. Physicians in United States do not frequently encounter patients malaria, drugs are only available through Centers for Disease Control Prevention, which makes management this disease somewhat complicated. In 2019, marketing quinine...
ABSTRACT Perioperative nurses work in one of the most complex healthcare settings and must adapt to rapid advances technology, treatments, scientific discoveries maintain clinical competence provide care that reflects current evidence. Evidence‐based practice (EBP) is a standard professional nursing performance an expectation practice. Because EBP foundational health quality safety, perioperative understand concepts have capacity apply evidence their However, some struggle with find it...
Hypokalemia, hypovolemia and electrocardiographic changes due to furosemide abuse.Report of one case Hypokalemia (serum K + <3.5 mEq/l) is a potentially serious adverse effect diuretic ingestion.We report 27 year-old woman admitted with muscle weakness, serum potassium 2.0 mEq/1, metabolic alkalosis EKG abnormalities simulating cardiac ischemia, that reverted chloride administration.She high dose self-medication for edema.Glomerular filtration rate, tubular sodium reabsortion, secretion, the...
Rosemonas species has been associated with infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts, manifesting as peritonitis, bacteremia, catheter-related endophthalmitis, spondylitis, endocarditis. Here we present a man his 60s who was brought to our institution for sudden onset of aphasia, right-sided paresthesia, new tonic-clonic seizure episodes. At presentation, he found have severe lactic acidosis, acute kidney failure, bilateral hydronephrosis, elevated prostate-specific...
1. The effect of dexamethasone administration for 3 days on urinary kallikrein excretion was studied in 12 normal men with sodium intake (n=6) or low (n=6). Urinary sodium, potassium, 17-hydroxycorticosteroids, aldosterone and water also measured all subjects. 2. Dexamethasone associated a significant increase (F3, 30 = 6.9; P &lt; 0.001) regardless intake. No correlation could be established between the changes water. 3. These results suggest that can exert direct action renal...
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is frequently used in patients with acute respiratory failure, but there limited evidence regarding predictors of therapeutic failure. The objective this study was to assess diaphragmatic ultrasound criteria as failure HFNC, defined the need for orotracheal intubation or death.Prospective cohort including adult consecutively admitted critical care unit, from July 24 October 20, 2020, secondary SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia who required HFNC. After 12 hours HFNC...
SUMMARY The acute adrenal response to potassium chloride and angiotensin II (A II) infusions was studied in hypopituitary patients compared with normal subjects. peripheral plasma levels of aldosterone (PAC), cortisol (F), (K), renin activity (PRA), were measured at 09.00 h after 60 120 min infusion. All subjects recumbent under balance conditions, receiving a daily dietary intake 180 mmol sodium 80 potassium. Basal PAC not significantly different from that observed the control group. Both...
Alcoholic liver disease is one of the leading causes hepatitis, cirrhosis, failure, and hepatic carcinoma. hepatitis refers to acute onset symptomatic hepatitis. We describe a patient who presented with alcoholic direct hyperbilirubinemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP), hypertriglyceridemia. All imaging laboratory work excluded obstructive causes, biopsy confirmed diagnosis. common condition, but some unusual presentations can lead think uncommon pathologies. This case reflects that...
