ABSTRACT This case study presents the first reported instance of cytarabine-induced hyperbilirubinemia in a pregnant patient undergoing treatment acute myeloid leukemia. Despite experiencing direct during induction therapy, exhibited no other signs liver dysfunction. Lowering cytarabine dose subsequent cycles resulted milder bilirubin elevations without compromising efficacy. The gave birth to healthy baby at term between cycles, underscoring benign nature this effect on both maternal and...
Background/Objectives: This study investigates the association between mild first-wave COVID-19 infection and subclinical abnormalities in echocardiographic strain parameters myocardial perfusion using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients from June 2020 to March 2021 with history infection, presenting nonspecific cardiac symptoms referred for SPECT stress testing. Patients had no obstructive coronary artery disease...
Right ventricular pacing with a dual chamber transvenous pacemaker has historically been used in patients preserved left systolic function and atrioventricular block. Pacing from the right ventricle is associated increased risks of developing arrhythmias heart failure due to dyssynchrony.,1 In reduced ejection fraction, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces dyssynchrony improves clinical outcomes.2 Given potential negative impact pacing,2 strategies were developed directly...
Abstract Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal infection that typically affects immunocompromised individuals. There limited research comparing the incidence and clinical outcomes of cryptococcosis in immunocompetent versus patients. Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with a confirmed positive CSF PCR, antigen, or serum cryptococcal antigen tests from 5 hospitals New York 2017–2022. Patients were classified as if they had diagnosis HIV active cancer, received organ transplant,...
Introduction: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is recommended for reperfusion of patients presenting with ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) within 90 minutes. In this study, we sought to identify differences in PCI timing based on gender, race and ethnicity the pre- post-COVID era. Methods: We collected retrospective data 760 admitted STEMI at our quaternary academic medical center from 2018-2022. defined binary outcome as time less than minutes, adjusted transfers outside...
Introduction: The Modified Shock Index (MSI) is easily calculated from a patient’s vital signs on admission. There have been small studies that suggest MSI can be helpful to risk stratify patients with STEMI. Methods: We collected retrospective data 760 admitted STEMI at our quaternary academic medical center 2018-2022. was computed as the heart rate divided by mean arterial pressure initial defined two cohorts: one an value of greater than or equal 0.93 and MSI<0.93 based prior...
Goals: Mavacamten not only promotes favorable cardiac remodeling in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy but can also unmask additional underlying structural abnormalities. Description of Case: An 80-year-old man with atrial fibrillation and basal septal hypertrophy an intracardiac defibrillator, presented due to six months exertional dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed severe (1.7cm) systolic anterior motion (SAM) the mitral valve leaflet (peak LVOT gradient 104 mm Hg;...
Acute perimyocarditis is commonly preceded by viral illness and presents with non-specific complaints that can be a manifestation of serious cardiac complications such as arrhythmias heart failure. While pericarditis known complication thyrotoxicosis, termed "thyrotoxic pericarditis," concomitant new-onset Graves' disease, "thyro-pericarditis," has been reported. We present case thyro-pericarditis the initial presentation undiagnosed untreated disease co-occurring recent Coxsackievirus A B...
Scarring is a cosmetically undesirable outcome of wound healing.Modern scar research investigates the processes behind scarring and, more importantly, efficacy medications and procedures.The wide variety models ranges from animal -red duroc pigs, athymic mice, rabbit ears -to virtual "in silico" models, to human cell varying complexity in regards mimicking true vivo environment.Current volunteer or patient are limited by ethical concerns regarding purposeful wounding, difficulty controlling...
Introduction: We present a case of 33-year-old pregnant patient with inversion 16 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that developed cytarabine-induced hyperbilirubinemia without other signs synthetic liver dysfunction. Case Description/Methods: A patient, G2P1, at 19 weeks gestation medical history gestational hypertension presents chief complaint dyspnea on exertion over the past four days. In emergency department, laboratory findings were notable for white blood cell count 86.6, hemoglobin 5.5,...
Abstract Background Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection that can cause pulmonary, central nervous system, or disseminated disease in immunosuppressed individuals. Although pulmonary cryptococcosis known to rarely affect immunocompetent patients, there limited research comparing the incidence and clinical outcomes of versus immunocompromised patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with confirmed positive CSF PCR, antigen, serum cryptococcal antigen tests from 8...
