Engraftment syndrome (ES), characterized by fever, rash, pulmonary edema, weight gain, liver and renal dysfunction, and/or encephalopathy, occurs at the time of neutrophil recovery after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In this study, we evaluated incidence, clinical features, risk factors, outcomes ES in children adults undergoing first-time allogeneic HCT. Among 927 patients, 119 (13%) developed a median 10 days (interquartile range 9 to 12) patients experienced significantly...
Background: Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital abnormality.It currently classified as genetic cardiomyopathy and results from early arrest of endomyocardial morphogenesis.The pathophysiology left dysfunction, which becomes apparent beyond the 4 th decade life, unclear.Case report: We report case 60-year-old woman who presented with shortness breath showed noncompacted endocardium on echocardiography.Cardiac catheterization viral studies were unremarkable.Histology...
Gastrointestinal (GI) sarcoidosis is a very rare disease, which clinically presents along with systemic disease or as an isolated finding. Gastric the most common form of GI sarcoidosis. Symptomatic gastric and only few case reports have been described in literature well-documented histological evidence noncaseating granulomas. We present interesting 39-year-old Caucasian man symptoms epigastric pain profound weight loss. His endoscopic mucosal biopsies revealed granulomas consistent...
Melanoma is considered a masquerader of many diseases owing to its potential metastasize organs. Several malignancies can the heart including malignant melanoma. Historically, antemortem diagnosis cardiac involvement melanoma not common, but with significant improvement in imaging modalities, now be made early and accurately, aiding treatment improved survival. We present case 36-year-old man brief neurological symptoms subsequent cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Cardiac revealed incidental...
Introduction. Brugada syndrome accounts for about 4% of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD). It is characterized by an ST-segment elevation in the right precordial electrocardiogram (EKG) leads. Case Presentation. We describe a 39-year-old healthy Caucasian man who was admitted to intensive care unit after being cardioverted from ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrest. His past history significant episode syncope one month prior this presentation which he outlying hospital. EKG during that admission...
Acute cerebellitis is a rare diagnosis found mostly in the pediatric population. The etiology, most instances, unknown. We describe case of 61-year-old woman who presented with acute mental status changes, signs cerebellar dysfunction, and MRI findings cerebellitis.

We present a case ketoacidosis patient without history intolerance who was being treated with olanzapine bipolar disorder. He presented...
Abstract Asymptomatic cardiac masses are often diagnosed incidentally. Massive lipomatous hypertrophy can be confused for other and need careful evaluation including multimodality imaging to manage appropriately.
Ingestion of foreign bodies is one the common causes emergency department visits. History, physical examination, and noninvasive imaging such as plain radiography computer tomography scan can guide us regarding type location ingested body. Most patients be managed conservatively but few may need endoscopic evaluation treatment.
e13063 Background: Colon cancer is among the leading causes of and mortality. patients undergo frequent hospitalizations pertaining to imaging, colonoscopy, colorectal surgery, and/or chemoradiation depending upon stage type colon cancer. Much focus has been turned recently on reducing 30-day readmission rates curb health care costs. This study was done determine demographic parameters risk factors associated with rate after index admission stay. Methods: Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)...
