In the ongoing fight against Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), researchers are exploring potential treatments to improve outcomes, especially in severe cases. This includes investigating repurposing of existing medications, such as furosemide, which is widely available. study aimed evaluate impact furosemide on mortality rates among COVID-19 patients with or critical illness. We assessed a cohort 515 hospitalized adults who experienced high rate 43.9%. Using multivariate analysis adjusted...
e14583 Background: Studies have suggested that concurrent corticosteroid use may decrease the efficacy of immunotherapy for cancer treatment, however, data remains limited. The purpose this study is to expand upon previous literature analyze outcomes patients with following sites: renal cell, lung, melanoma, urothelial, head and neck, hepatocellular, or breast who received steroids concurrently. Our primary objective was overall survival (OS) response rate (ORR) receiving corticosteroids...
Abstract Causative factors of HUS due to infection are not limited classic EHEC and Shigella infection. Understanding the effects EPEC‐related its complications is imperative for early diagnosis treatment mitigate long‐term sequelae.
Cholera is an acute gastroenteritis that can lead to fatal dehydration and metabolic derangements. Cases of cholera in the United States are typically associated with international travel. Patients who persistently dehydrated despite aggressive rehydration antibiotic therapy may require hemodialysis until symptom resolution stabilization renal function. We present a case 47-year-old male recently returned from trip Haiti presented intractable abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, watery...
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a nonischemic cardiomyopathy with transient apical ballooning of the left ventricle and reduced ejection fraction that can be caused by severe emotional or physical stress, diverse clinical presentations. This case describes patient who went into cardiac arrest at casino after winning lottery. She was found to have cardiomyopathy, in setting uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. very unique TTS presenting arrest, also an uncommon example triggered positive rather than...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome involving uncontrolled inflammation due to widespread activation of immune response. HLH can be inherited or acquired secondary infection, autoimmune, oncologic processes such as small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) chronic leukemia (CLL). There has been minimal documentation SLL/CLL, and results treatment have largely unsuccessful. This case describes critically ill elderly patient with caused by SLL/CLL who was successfully treated...
Background This study assessed patient perceptions of the Physician Payments Sunshine Act and opinions toward physicians who receive gifts and/or payments from pharmaceutical or medical device companies. Methods During their office visit, patients attending different specialty clinics volunteered to complete our survey. The survey asks if knows what is, then questions on 5-point response scales assess patient's compensation companies, self-rated knowledge physician compensation, how they...

Invasive candidiasis can lead to numerous life-threatening sequelae. Candida glabrata is the second-most common causative species of invasive candidiasis. This possesses a high risk for persistent infection and candidemia. An uncommon complication spondylodiscitis rarely affect cervical spine.
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin that highly aggressive and carries poor prognosis. Although the standard chemotherapy choice for most diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone), subtypes DLBCL such as PBL are less responsive to this treatment regimen. The preferred regimens include infusional EPOCH (etoposide, prednisone, doxorubicin hydrochloride), HyperCVAD (cyclophosphamide, vincristine...
Typical form of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is caused most commonly enterohemorrhagic E. coli strain O157:H71. Here we report a unique case HUS secondary to enteropathogenic infection, with discussion on the diagnosis and how it distinguished from other thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs).
