Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: is a former 2.06-kilogram product of a 32 and week gestation pregnancy born to a 40-year-old gravida 2, para 1 (now 2), woman. prenatal screens: blood type a positive, antibody negative, rubella immune, rapid plasma reagin nonreactive, hepatitis b surface antigen negative, and group b strep status unknown. the pregnancy was complicated by elevated blood pressures. the mother went into spontaneous labor. rupture of membranes occurred two hours prior to delivery. the mother was treated for unknown group b strep status with antepartum antibiotics. the infant by spontaneous vaginal delivery. apgar scores were 8 at one minute and 9 at five minutes. he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for treatment of prematurity. physical examination on presentation to neonatal intensive care unit: weight was 2.060 kilograms (50th percentile), length was 44 cm (50th percentile), and head circumference was 31.5 cm (50th percentile). in general, a nondysmorphic preterm infant. skin intact. no rashes or lesions. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed anterior fontanelle open and flat. symmetric facial features. positive red reflex bilaterally. palate was intact. chest revealed mild subcostal retractions and audible grunting. lungs with slightly diminished breath sounds. cardiovascular examination revealed no murmurs. a regular rate and rhythm. pulses were 2+ and equal. abdomen revealed no hepatosplenomegaly. a 3-vessel cord. no masses. genitourinary revealed testes descended bilaterally. normal phallus. the anus was patent. trunk and spine were intact. extremity examination revealed moving all extremities and well perfused. the hips were stable. neurological examination revealed activity and reflexes consistent with gestational age. summary of hospital course by issue/system (including laboratories): 1. respiratory issues: had increased work of breathing over the first few hours in the neonatal intensive care unit. he was placed on continuous positive airway pressure. he maintained adequate oxygenation on room air. he remained on continuous positive airway pressure through day of life two. he briefly required nasal cannula oxygen on day of life three and then weaned to room air on day of life four and continued on room air throughout the remainder of his neonatal intensive care unit admission. he had mild apnea of prematurity, with the last episodes on ; he never required methylxanthine treatment. at the time of discharge, he was on room air with comfortable respirations with a rate of 30 to 50. 2. cardiovascular issues: has maintained normal heart rates and blood pressures. no murmurs have been noted during admission. 3. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition issues: was initially nothing by mouth. enteral feedings were started on day of life two and gradually advanced to full volume. he has been breast feeding or feeding expressed breast milk fortified to 24 calories per ounce. at 48 hours prior to discharge, he has been almost exclusively breast feeding and manifests better coordination with breast than bottle feeds. after discharge, we recommend that supplementation, if needed, be accomplished with expressed breast milk fortified to 24 per ounce with cow-milk-based formula powder such as enfamil or similac. he would be a good candidate for a supplemental nursing system rather than bottled supplements. serum electrolytes were checked in the first week of life and were within normal limits. discharge weight was 2.425 kilograms, with a length of 49.5 cm, and a head circumference of 33.25 cm. 4. infectious disease issues: due to the unknown etiology of the respiratory distress, and unknown group b strep status of the mother, was evaluated for sepsis at the time of admission. his white blood cell count was 14,400 with a differential of 27% polymorphonuclear cells and 0% band neutrophils. a blood culture was obtained prior to starting intravenous ampicillin and gentamicin. the blood culture was no growth at 48 hours, and antibiotics were discontinued. 5. gastrointestinal issues: required treatment for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy. his peak serum bilirubin occurred on day of life six, a total of 14.4/0.3 mg/dl. he continued on phototherapy for approximately eight days. his rebound bilirubin on was 9.3 total over 0.5 direct. a repeat on had a total of 11, a direct of 0.2, for an indirect of 10.8. he appears clinically well, and our impression was that this was likely prolonged physiologic jaundice as well as possibly breast milk jaundice. 6. hematologic issues: hematocrit at birth was 60% and on (day of life 7) was 52.2%. blood type is a positive, and his direct coombs was negative. he did not receive any transfusions of blood products during admission. 7. neurologic issues: has maintained a normal neurological examination during this admission, and there were no neurologic concerns at the time of discharge. 8. sensory/audiology issues: a hearing screen was performed with automated auditory brain stem responses, and passed in both ears. 9. psychosocial issues: the parents have been involved during discharge, and there were no social concerns at the time of discharge. condition at discharge: good. discharge disposition: home with parents. primary pediatrician: primary pediatrician is dr. , pediatric associates, , , (telephone number ; fax number ). care a recommendations at the time of discharge: 1. feeding: on demand breast feeding or breast feeding and supplementation if needed with mom's milk fortified to 24 calories per ounce with powdered cow-milk-based formula. 2. medications: ferrous sulfate (25 mg/ml solution), 0.2 ml by mouth once per day. 3. car seat position screening was performed - was observed in his car seat for 90 minutes without any episodes of bradycardia or oxygen desaturation. 4. state newborn screen was sent on and on with no notification of abnormal results to date. 5. parents have declined hepatitis b vaccine at this time. immunizations recommended: synagis respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following three criteria: (1) born at less than 32 weeks gestation; (2) born between 32 and 35 weeks gestation with 2/3 of the following: plans for day care during respiratory syncytial virus season, with a smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities, or with school-age siblings; and/or (3) with chronic lung disease. influenza immunization should be considered annually in the fall for all infants once they reach six months of age. before this age, and for the first 24 months of the child's life, immunization against influenza is recommended for household contacts and out of home caregivers to protect the infant. discharge instructions/followup: visit with primary pediatric provider within five days of discharge. discharge diagnoses: 1. prematurity at 32 and 6/7 weeks gestation. 2. respiratory distress secondary to retained fetal lung fluid, resolved. 3. status post sepsis evaluation. 4. status post unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. 5. apnea of prematurity, resolved. , md 50-563 dictated by: medquist36 procedure: parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances non-invasive mechanical ventilation other phototherapy diagnoses: observation for suspected infectious condition single liveborn, born in hospital, delivered without mention of cesarean section neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery primary apnea of newborn other preterm infants, 2,000-2,499 grams 31-32 completed weeks of gestation transitory tachypnea of newborn Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: gi bleed major surgical or invasive procedure: intubation (from osh) mechanical ventilation central venous line placement (from osh) arterial line placement upper endoscopy x 2 history of present illness: patient is a 21f with h/o bulemia, etoh abuse, cirrhosis secondary to her eating disorder with known varices who presents from with acute upper gi bleed. hpi is taken from records and mother as patient is intubated and unable to provide history. the mother states that the patient was feeling unwell on the day of admission. her friend had died a few nights before and she was spending time with her friends consuming unknown quantities of etoh. she denied any f/c, ha, abd pain during this time. however, she was very fatigued and complained of shortness of breath. her mother also noted her to be slightly yellow at this time. she spent most of the day in bed, but became nauseated and vomitted black "clots." as far as the mother knows there was no bloody stool prior. she was then taken to the ed at lgh. at lgh, she nearly collapsed on arrival. her initial vs were t 99.8, bp 111/52, hr 130. labs notable for hct 10.2, plt 65, inr 1.5. she also had etoh 160, 294 and ast/alt 122/26. patient was transferred to the icu and given 4 units prbcs. she subsequently went into respiratory arrest with cxr showing diffuse opacities. she was intubated at 0215 on and sedated with propofol and versed. she then underwent egd showing portal gastropathy, long grade iii varix with red sign -> banded x3. there was also a grade ii varix noted, banded x1. she was put on octreotide, ppi and volume resuscitated. repeat hct at 21. pt also underwent presumed tte with ef 15% (no documentation here). in the afternoon of transfer, abg 7.45/32/68. fi02 increased to 80%. pt also spiked temp to 103 given tylenol and cooling blanket. vancomycin was given prior to transfer. on arrival, the patient is intubated and sedated with propofol and versed. she is on neosynephrine as well as levophed with sbp 90s. past medical history: 1. bulemia nervosa 2. etoh abuse 3. cirrhosis ->

with thickened wall, small pericholecystic fluid, small layer of tiny stones, no cbd dilatation. . ekg: sinus tachy at 120s, nl axis and intervals, non-specific st changes in the setting of tachycardia. . cxr on arrival: ett ~3cm from carina, l subclavian projects over svc. cardiomegaly with bilateral alveolar opacities. sharp costophrenic angles, prominant stomach bubble, no abdominal free air appreciated. tte: the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. there is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 25-30%), without regionality to the wall motion abnormalities (consistent with global process: infectious, toxic, metabolic, etc.) intrinsic left ventricular systolic function is likely more depressed given the severity of mitral regurgitation. the right ventricular cavity is normal with mild global free wall hypokinesis. the number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. there is no mitral valve prolapse. a central jet of moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen, likely stemming from mitral annular dilatation. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a small pericardial effusion. the effusion appears circumferential. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. impression: severe global left ventricular systolic dysfunction. mild global right ventricular systolic dysfunction. moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation. moderate tricuspid regurgitation. moderate pulmonary hypertension. small pericardial effusion radiology final report ct chest w/o contrast 9:10 am reason: evaluate for evidence of pneumonia, volume overload field of view: 36 medical condition: 21 year old woman with cardiomyopathy and cirrhosis now with likely sepsis and cxr with pneumonia vs. ards reason for this examination: evaluate for evidence of pneumonia, volume overload contraindications for iv contrast: none. ct chest without intravenous contrast indication: 21-year-old woman with cardiomyopathy and cirrhosis and ards. evaluate for evidence of pneumonia, volume overload. comparison: not available. technique: mdct axial images of the chest were obtained without intravenous contrast. coronal reformatted images were obtained. findings: there are extensive consolidative and ground-glass opacities, involving lung fields bilaterally, with sparing of the periphery. the ground- glass opacities are predominantly distributed in the nondependent portion and consolidated opacities are in dependent portions of the perihilar regions. there are small pleural effusions. the airways are patent. there is a small pericardial effusion. there are no pathologically enlarged mediastinal, hilar or axillary lymph nodes. non-contrast evaluation of the upper abdomen demonstrates small amount of free intraperitoneal fluid. the liver is decreased in attenuation, consistent with fatty infiltration. bone windows: there are no suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions. impression: 1. confluent bilateral parenchymal opacities, most severe dependently, in a pattern suggestive of ards. the possibility of superimposed or pre-exisiting pneumonia is difficult to exclude given the severity of the parenchymal findings. 2. small bilateral pleural effusions. 3. cardiomegaly. 4. fatty liver infiltration. radiology final report us abd limit, single organ 1:18 pm us abd limit, single organ reason: elevated bili evaluate for evidence of biliary disease medical condition: 21 year old woman with low grade temp, rising bili reason for this examination: evaluate for evidence of biliary disease clinical history: 21-year-old female with low-grade temperature, rising bilirubin. evaluate for evidence of biliary disease. comparison: . findings. the liver is nodular, coarsened and echogenic consistent with cirrhosis. no focal hepatic lesion is identified. the umbilical vein is recanulized. the gallbladder demonstrates wall thickening (5 mm) and edema, although remains non- distended. small stones are again identified within the gallbladder. no intra- or extra- hepatic biliary dilatation is appreciated. the common duct measures 2 mm. the right kidney measures 10.6 cm and shows no hydronephrosis. the portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. a tiny amount of perihepatic asictes is noted. impression: 1. coarsened and nodular architecture of the liver consistent with cirrhosis. no focal hepatic lesion is identified. 2. cholelithiasis. the gallbladder demonstrates wall thickening and edema, which is likely related to chronic liver disease. tte conclusions the left atrium is elongated. no atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale is seen by 2d, color doppler or saline contrast with maneuvers. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef 60%) there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. after injection of agitated saline, a small number of air bubbles appeared in the left atrium, but only after 5 cardiac cycles had elapsed, consistent with transpulmonary passage of contrast. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , the left ventricular ejection fraction is now normal. egd: findings: esophagus: other recent banding was noted in the lower esophagus. there was no futher varices seen and there was no bleeding stomach: normal stomach. duodenum: normal duodenum. egd: findings: esophagus: protruding lesions 2 cords of grade ii varices were seen in the lower third of the esophagus. there were superficial ulcers from previous banding. 2 bands were successfully placed. stomach: mucosa: granularity and mosaic appearance of the mucosa were noted in the whole stomach. these findings are compatible with portal hypertensive gastropathy. duodenum: normal duodenum. impression: varices at the lower third of the esophagus (ligation) granularity and mosaic appearance in the whole stomach compatible with portal hypertensive gastropathy otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum recommendations: 1) keep nil po for 4 hours. 2) sucralfate 1g qid for 2 weeks. 3) repeat egd and banding in 2 - 3 weeks. brief hospital course: 21 f with history of eating disorder and alcohol use transfered intubated from osh after massive ugib, was s/p esophageal variceal banding prior to transfer. hospital course by problem: gi bleed: hct remained stable after transfer, at pt ended up requiring a total of 4 units prbcs and 4 units ffp. she had follow up endoscopy on which showed stable status of varices s/p banding. repeat egd on showed persistent varices with ulceration at site of prior banding. varices were rebanded. pt discharged on pantoprazole, a 2 week course of sucralfate and nadolol. to follow up with dr. for repeat egd in 3 weeks. respiratory distress: patient went into respiratory distress at the osh in the setting of her acute bleed. appeared to have worsened after blood transfusion. she had impressive bilateral infiltrates on exam as well as fevers in addition to a newly depressed ef of 15% with 3+ mr and evidence for fluid overload. the etiology for the patient's heart failure was unclear. she was started on an acei and a beta blocker, initially diuresed on a lasix gtt was off diuresis at time of transfer from the micu and was determined to be euvolumeic. she was treated for presumed ards and a possible aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis, received vancomycin, zosyn and iv ciprofloxacin. once transfered to the floor the patient clinically improved with no further oxygen requirement. a repeat tte showed normalization of cardiac function with improvement in mitral valve competency. her acei was discontinued and she was transitioned from carvedilol to nadolol prior to discharge. cirrhosis: followed by dr. . recent biopsy with macrovescicular steatosis with bridging fibrosis. thought to be due to combination of eating disorder and etoh use, there have been several case reports of accelerated alcoholic cirrhosis in patients with eating disorders. pt discharged on lactulose, spironolactone, furosemide and nadolol. pt to follow up as outpatient with dr. for consideration of transplant evaluation. patient extensively counseled about the need to completely abstain from alcohol in the future. bulemia: psychiatry was consulted for assistance in managing the patient's eating disorder. she denied a recent history of purging behavior but still endorsed restricting, has history of laxative and diet pill abuse. was on a modified eating disorder protocol on the floor, was consuming >2000kcal per day. expressed an earnest interest in recovery and continuing counseling once discharged. was discharged with social work follow up. etoh use: unclear as to severity. had been drinking more heavily lately given friends death. was counseled extensively by team regarding etoh cessation. no positive ciwa scores while hospitalized, no history of withdrawl. discharged on mvi, folate, thiamine; with social work for ongoing counseling and support. pt was seen by physical therapy who cleared her for discharge home. on day of discharge she was afebrile with stable vital signs. discharged home with family with outpatient social work, hepatology and primary care follow up. medications on admission: eye drops (unknown) medications upon

change, including anterior and posterior osteophyte formation, predominantly at the c5/6 levels. there is slight anterior widening of the c4/5 intervertebral disc space, without any evidence of prevertebral soft tissue swelling. there is limited evaluation of intrathecal contents on ct, however, the contour of the thecal sacs is within normal limits. within the lung apices, there is fibrotic change bilaterally, without any evidence of pneumothorax or pleural effusion. there is an 8 mm focus of soft tissue adjacent to the posterior wall of the trachea (series 2, image 58). this is approximately 5 cm below the glottis. impression: 1. no fracture or subluxation is seen. degenerative changes are seen at several levels. 2. there is an 8 mm soft tissue density adjacent to the posterior wall of the trachea, approximately 5 cm below the glottis. this may represent mucous, though this could also represent a polypoid lesion arising off the wall, and further nonemergent evaluation is recommended. . cxr single view of the chest: cardiac and mediastinal contours appear stable. again seen is evidence of vascular engorgement with prominent interstitial opacities bilaterally, improved from prior. no focal consolidations identified. no evidence of pleural effusion. impression: improving interstitial opacities again seen consistent with improving chf. no focal consolidations identified. . ct head ct head without iv contrast: no intracranial hemorrhage is identified. the ventricles are symmetric, and there is no shift of normally midline structures. the -white matter differentiation is preserved. there is linear hyperdensity within the right frontal region, which likely represents streak artifact. no intracranial mass effect is seen. the soft tissues are within normal limits. the paranasal sinuses are well aerated. no fractures are identified. impression: no intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect is identified. . xr abdomen findings: bowel gas pattern is nonspecific and nonobstructed with no evidence for free air, ascites or pneumatosis. calcifications in left pelvis are most consistent with phleboliths. . echo conclusions: the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal (lvef>55%), without regional wall motion abnormalities. tissue velocity imaging demonstrates an e/e' <8 suggesting a normal left ventricular filling pressure (<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. . ct sct chest with iv contrast: the previously identified soft tissue density in the posterior aspect of the trachea near the thoracic inlet is not seen today, however, there is a focus of slight tracheal wall thickening in the right posterolateral aspect. multiple small lung nodules are seen throughout the lungs; the largest is in the posterior right lower lobe (series 3, image 30), which has a hazy and distinct halo measuring approximately 8 mm. a similar finding is seen in the left lower lobe posteromedial aspect, measuring 6 mm. no pleural effusion or pericardial effusion is seen. there are calcified right hilar lymph nodes. both lung apices show mild scarring. ct abdomen with iv contrast: there are radiopaque gallstones in the gallbladder. the spleen and liver are normal. left kidney and proximal ureter are within normal limits. the right kidney shows marked hydronephrosis with hydroureter and delayed excretion. adrenals are normal. pancreas is normal. the abdominal aorta below the level of the left renal vein is notable for prominence to a maximum of 27 x 25 mm; there is marked stranding surrounding the aorta and retroperitoneum, with several prominent but nonpathologically enlarged lymph nodes. marked circumferential atherosclerotic calcification and atheroma is in the aorta; additionally, inflammatory stranding surrounds it from the level of the renal veins to approximately the bifurcation. there is no free air. bowel loops are grossly normal, given lack of oral contrast. ct pelvis with iv contrast: there are several enlarged lymph nodes in the pelvis, for example, a left external iliac chain node measures 17 mm in short axis diameter. the right ureter is dilated proximally to near the common iliac artery bifurcation. no definite stone is seen. there is a foley in the bladder. the left ureter appears normal, given the lack of good contrast opacification. the prostate is enlarged with a central calcification. there are diverticula in the sigmoid, without diverticulitis. no free air is seen. there is no free fluid. bone windows show multiple sclerotic foci for example, in the left scapula, left t1 transverse process, t3 vertebral body, right lateral process t6, t8 vertebral body, l3 vertebral body, s1 vertebral body, with a moth-eaten appearance to the bony pelvis. multiplanar reformats were essential in delineating the findings above. impression: 1. abdominal aorta with marked atheromatous changes and inflammatory stranding surrounding it, raising possibility of inflammatory aneurysm or retroperitoneal fibrosis. ct angiogram of the aorta is recommended for further characterization. 2. severe right hydronephrosis and hydroureter without obstructive lesion identified. 3. multiple enlarged lymph nodes and several sclerotic foci in the bones. does the patient have a history of malignancy? 4. soft tissue lesion in trachea seen on previous ct scan not identified today, however, small focus of thickening in same region may be better evaluated with direct visualization. 5. multiple small lung nodules, which may be evaluated with repeat chest ct without contrast in six months to ensure stability. . brief hospital course: 84m with h/o atrial fribillation s/p isthmus ablation and htn, admitted with lower gi bleed. #) gi bleed: mr. was admitted to the icu after presenting with brbpr and receiving 3 units prbc in the emergency department. he remained hemodynamically stable in the icu so was transferred to the medicine floor after 24 hours. he had several episodes of melana during his time on the medicine floor but no hematochezia. he was, however, transfused 2 additional units prbc while on the medicine floor for hct drop (lowest hct on floor = 27.6). the most likely source of bleeding was diverticular, although colonoscopy showed no clear source (blood throughout the colon, multiple diverticula). his hematocrit remained stable for >48 hours prior to discharge. his aspirin was held throughout his hospital course. this can be restarted upon follow-up with his new pcp if his hematocrit remains stable. #) nstemi: mr. was found to have an elevated troponin (peak 0.33 on ) with v5-v6 st depressions in the setting of tachycardia. he denied cp or sob. cardiology was consulted and they felt that he was having demand ischemia in the setting of a gi bleed and did not recommend an intervention. they recommend an outpatient stress test and continuing b-blocker that had been started. they also recommend asa when safe from a gib standpoint. #) h/o atrial fibrillation: s/p isthmus ablation. currently in nsr. no anticoagulation was purused given recent gi bleed. #) uti: he was found to have a uti on . he was asymptomatic but the decision was made to treat nonetheless. sensitivities revealed resistance to cipro and this antibiotic was changed to ceftriaxone on . he will be changed to cefuroxime po for a total 10-day course (also to cefuroxime). per urology, mr. had a moderately enlarged, somewhat firm prostate on exam with a small midline nodule, but a psa has not be done. he will be followed by urology as an outpatient were a psa test will be done and prostate biopsy will be considerd. #) hydronephrosis & hydroureter: ct w/contrast revealed right hydronephrosis and hydroureter w/o obstructive lesion and possible retroperitoneal fibrosis. mr. has had no urinary symptoms (no flank pain, no urinary incontinence, retention or urgency). urology was consulted and felt that no intervention was necessary at this time. he will have follow-up with urology with dr. in 2 weeks. he will need ct-guided biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis and to determine the etiology (idiopathic vs lymphoma). despite intensive discussion regarding the benefits and risks, the patient declined to have this done while in-house. #) inflammation abd aorta: ct w/contrast revealed inflammation of abdominal aorta with marked atheromatous changes, possible inflammatory aneurysm or retroperitoneal fibrosis. as mentioned above, he will need outpatient ct-guided biopsy to the determine etiology. diagnosis must be confirmed (to rule out cancer) prior to initiating therapy (such as prednisone). he will have a repeat abdominal ct scan in 3 months to evaluate for change and will follow-up with rheumatology as an outpatient. a malignancy work-up was initiated, with a normal cea, psa to be checked as an outpatient. spep/upep pending at time of discharge. #) htn: metoprolol was titrated up for improved blood pressure control, and his blood pressure will need to be closely monitored as an outpatient. consider starting acei as outpatient, after contrast dye is not a threat to renal function #) chronic renal insuficiency: likely has some renal insufficiency secondary to hydronephrosis. creatinine at discharge was 1.5. given ct w/contrast , his creatinine will need to be closely monitored as an outpatient to ensure stability. #) multiple small lung nodules: - follow up ct in 6 months #) code status: full code, discussed

partially visualized anterior and posterior fusion of the mid and lower cervical spine. there is posterior fusion extending from t9-s1 with corresponding pedicle screws at all levels and two vertical posterior metallic rods. there is disc narrowing and associated osteophytes at most of the fused levels as well as at t7-t8 and t8-9. slight angular kyphosis centered at t8-9. the visualized medial lung is clear with slightly tortuous aorta. the hips and si joints are wnl. there is a moderate amount of stool in the right and transverse colon. there is morselized bone graft around the posterior fusion. overall appearance is little changed from . pathology lumbar wound : acute osteomyelitis. mri total spine : 1. limited examinations due to artifact from hardware and lack of contrast. 2. extensive post-operative changes in the posterior soft tissues with foci of signal hypointensity which may reflect air. however, no definite focal collection in the soft tissues or epidural space is identified on this limited exam. 3. bibasilar lung consolidation, left greater than right. impression: suboptimal image quality. normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved global biventricular systolic function. no valvular pathology or pathologic flow identified. ct abd/pelv 1. no acute intra-abdominal process. no evidence of obstruction. 2. foley catheter balloon is inflated within the

significant for polio with residual rle paralysis and atrophy, dmii, htn, , angina, and recent t9-s1 laminectomy on with complicated hospital course. he presented with sepsis and neck pain and was found to have mrsa wound infection at laminectomy site and mrsa bacteremia requiring icu admission and pressors. started on vancomycin. course complicated by decompensated , 30 beat run of v-tach in context of k+ of 3.2, anemia requiring transfusion of prbcs, staph aureus pneumonia, bowel pseudoobstruction/ileus, picc associated dvt, atn. also s/p drainage of paraspinal mrsa-infected hematoma and debridement of sacral ulcer first in or on and then at bedside on . on instrumentation removed in the or and thorough soft tissue debridement performed. debridement of sacral ulcer performed again at that time. active issues: # wound infection and mrsa bacteremia: patient has a spinal hardware infection s/p t9-s1 laminectomies. washout of wound was performed on , dura was intact and wound cultures grew staph aureus sensitive to vanc and corynebacterium. blood cultures were positive for mrsa. there was no sign of epidural abscess on mri. he currently has picc and initially thought to need 8 week course of vancomycin starting from . on noted on imaging to have paraspinal fluid collection so this was drained by ir with finding of infected hematoma with mrsa. jp drain was left in. decision was made with orthopedics to remove infected hardware and to definitively drain paraspinal abscess in or on . will need 6 week course of vancomycin with start date of (to finish ). will be followed by spine and id. # intermittent fevers: the patient began spiking intermittent fevers up to 101.2 on and his antibiotic regimen was broadened by adding cefepime and flagyl to his vancomycin. the patient's sputum culture grew out coag + staph aureus, and he was treated for presumed mrsa pneumonia. a urine culture came back positive for with 10k - 100k organisms / ml; however upon changing the foley the enterococcus bacterial count decreased to organisms/ml without treatment indicating bacterial colonization with and not true uti. azithromycin was added to the patient's regimen per id recs for possible copd exacebration. last day of azithromycin was . last day of cefepime was to be . however, given new o2 requirement on was started on another course of cefepime ending on . # hypoxia: patient had 3 liter o2 requirement with o2 sats in the mid to high 90s. his hypoxia was likely multifactorial and due to pulmonary edema from and volume overload, presumed mrsa pneumonia, atelectasis, and copd exacerbation. repeated cxrs shows bilateral pleural effusions, worse on the left, left lower lobe atelectasis and pulmonary edema. his sputum culture grew coag + staph aureus, presumed mrsa pneumonia is adequately covered by vancomycin. the patient is volume overloaded on exam and has , he was diuresed with good effect on respiratory status, although diuresis was limited by kidney function. incentive spirometry encouraged. the patient does not have a previous diagnosis of copd, but he has an extensive smoking history and his exam is concerning for underlying copd. he was started on continuous albuterol and ipratropium nebulizers on , and a five day course of azithromycin starting on , which improved his breathing. underwent thoracentesis on on the left side. concurrently began aggressive course of diuresis starting with up to 160mg iv lasix daily. hypoxia improved and creatinine trended down. he is currently on room air and not requiring iv lasix. we placed him on standing lasix 20mg po qd for peripheral edema. would recommend daily weights. # pseudobstruction: abdominal pain, distention, constipation and intermittent nausea developed after tsicu call-out. on exam his abdomen was tense, distended and tympanic throughout with hyperactive bowel sounds. the patient had only mild rectal tone and was unable to feel when he passes gas or stool. serial kubs showed distended loops of colon. gi was consulted and was concerned about ileus vs pseudobstruction. a rectal tube was placed but did not relieve the pressure, or lead to increased passage of stool, and no change was seen on kub. gi recommended electrolyte repletion and serial rectal exams with stimulation to produce bms. this was continued until resolution of abdominal distension and return of spontaneous stooling. diet was titrated up to regulars as tolerated. the patient still intermittently complains of abdominal cramping and fullness, and requires multiple bowel medications. # anemia: patient with gradual hemoglobin drop requiring transfusion of 7 units of prbcs through course of hospitalization (, , , , x2, ). there were no signs of hemolysis and no active source of bleeding was found on examination, serial guaics, or ct abdomen / pelvis. hct has been stably low for over a week now. # and hypervolemia: hx of diagnosed , with volume overload leading to pleural effusions and pulmonary edema on this admission. iv lasix used to remove fluid as tolerated by his kidneys. due to hypoxia from pleural effusions on began aggressive course of diuresis starting with up to 160mg iv lasix daily. hypoxia improved and creatinine trended down. he is currently on room air and not requiring iv lasix. we placed him on standing lasix 20mg po qd for peripheral edema. would recommend daily weights. # /atn: baseline creatinine 0.4-0.6. creatinine elevated from his baseline starting hospital day 5. urine electrolytes consistent with pre-renal failure, likely due to decreased effective circulating volume due to . diuresis attempted, however his cr increased from 1.1 to 1.3 and his bun increased to 29. muddy brown casts seen on light microscopy on suggestive of atn. renal u/s showed no hydronephrosis. upep negative, spep abnormal. due to hypoxia from pleural effusions on began aggressive course of diuresis starting with up to 160mg iv lasix daily. hypoxia improved and creatinine trended down. creatinine 0.9 on discharge. # catheter associated dvt: patient had a picc line in his right arm and was noted to have swelling of his right hand and forearm. rue ultrasound revealed a catheter-induced thrombus associated with the picc line in his right brachial vein. his rue picc was removed. a new picc line was placed in his left arm given necessity for continued antibiotic administration. he was started on heparin gtt and his ptt on was 73.3. he showed some lue swelling on , but a lue ultrasound showed no evidence of thrombus. warfarin 5mg started but then discontinued due to need for or interventions. subsequently maintained on heparin gtt. rue was rechecked after patient had been on anti-coagulation for one month, and showed interval clot resolution. decision made to stop anticoagulation at that time given patient's bleeding risk and lack of data to support continued anticoagulation for picc related clot in brachial vein only. # sacral deep tissue injury: the patient has a sacral deep tissue injury with friable, deep tissue involvement. he has been seen by wound care regularly. noted to be necrotic and debrided first in or on and then at bedside on , then again in or on . he has been continued to be seen by wound care. wound care recs included in this discharge summary. # episode of ventricular tachycardia: 30 beat run on in context of low k of 3.2. sbp during episode held in 150s and he was asymptomatic. ekg showed normal sinus rhythm with pacs afterwards without intervention. he was continuously monitored on telemetry after this episode and remained in normal sinus rhythm. # back and neck pain: acute on chronic pain secondary to nerve compression due to spinal stenosis, multiple surgeries, and recent infection. the patient was initially on a fentanyl pca, but on the floor was weaned to oral oxycodone, acetaminophen and gabapentin 100 tid. pain was well controlled on this regimen. increased amounts of opioids were avoided due to abdominal pain and ileus vs pseudobstruction. ortho spine advises the patient be in a tbso when out of bed. # chest pain: transient episode of pleuritic chest pain on the night of . there were no significant ekg changes and trop t was 0.12 and 0.13. pe unlikely given lack of tachycardia, hypoxia, ekg changes and negative lenis. troponin negative on admission, was 0.11-0.16 on (likely secondary to demand ischemia in setting of acute infection), with no subsequent troponins drawn since until this episode so elevation may be residual. cardiology consulted, recommended optimizing medical management. patient on aspirin, beta blocker, , statin. # enterococcus in urine: patient found to have in urine with 10k - 100k organisms / ml; however upon changing the foley the enterococcus bacterial count decreased to organisms/ml without treatment indicating bacterial colonization with and not true uti. repeat culture showed continued enterococcus colonization, but patient without signs of active infection at that point. foley changed by urology, repeat culture at time of discharge was positive for enterococcus. given we believe this is chronic colonization, we did not treat. enterococcus was , if patient becomes symptomatic, the organism is linezolid and that would be the logical antibiotic choice. inactive issues: # dmii: patient's home metformin was held and he was put on fss and insulin sliding scale. no standing insulin. fsbgs were well controlled. # htn: patient was continue on home amlodipine. his losartan was initially discontinued due to his acute kidney injury, but was restarted prior to discharge. # bph: patient was continued on home finasteride and tamsulosin with no issues on this admission. # polio with residual rle paralysis: stable on this admission with no issues. transitional issues # last vancomycin trough was 19.3 () on dose of 1000 mg iv q48h. last day of vancomycin will be . # titrate diuretic dose: patient started on furosemide 20mg daily on . he should be weighed daily, and furosemide dose increased by 20mg if patient's weight goes up by more than 2lbs. bun/cr should be checked weekly or after any significant dose changes. downtitrate furosemide accordingly if renal function deteriorates. # urine grew , thought to be colonization rather than true infection. foley changed, repeat urine culture at discharge still positive for enterococcus. electing not to treat as no clinical signs of uti and we believe this is chronic bladder colonization # consider changing labetalol to cardioselective beta blocker such as metoprolol # if worsening abdominal pain and distension and patient not stooling, gi recommends: - serial rectal exams with stimulation to produce bms, patient should be rolled on left side for this - electrolye repletion # sacral ulcer, continue wound care as follows: cleanse ulcer with wound cleanser set to "stream" pat dry, use cotton tip swab as needed to remove excess cleanser prep periwound tissues with no sting barrier wipe and miconazole powder fill ulcer with slightly moistened amd kerlix cover with softsorb dressing secure with medipore h soft cloth tape and pink hy tape to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: past medical history: history is notable for the following: 1. coronary artery disease with early cardiomegaly. 2. severe arthritis. 3. lung cancer status post right lower lobe excision in . 4. hyperlipidemia. 5. non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 6. decreased hearing. 7. chronic low back pain. 8. gastritis. 9. obesity. allergies: the patient is not allergic to any

on physical examination, she is noted to be a pleasant female who is hard of hearing, but otherwise, in no acute distress. head, eyes, ears, nose, throat and neck: she is without jvd. chest: lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally: heart: regular rate and rhythm. abdomen: soft, obese, nontender. the right groin catheterization site on arrival had no hematoma and peripherally the extremities are without clubbing, cyanosis or edema. hospital course: the patient was admitted to cardiac surgery service and appropriate preoperative workup was obtained. pulmonary consultation was obtained for this patient's underlying pulmonary hypertension. they believe that this was in fact due to left ventricular failure and they recommended treating her failure including continued diuresis. they also noted that she had no pulmonary contraindication to undergoing cardiac surgery. therefore, on , the patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times three. she had saphenous vein graft to lad, saphenous vein graft to om, and saphenous vein graft to rca. total cardiopulmonary bypass time was 75 minutes. cross clamp time was 41 minutes. postoperatively, the patient was taken intubated to the cardiac surgery intensive care unit. in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit she was extubated on the evening of her operation and some of her pressors including milrinone were weaned off. the chest tubes were discontinued on the first postoperative day, as was the j-p drain left in her leg. however, this ultimately required a total of six postoperative days in the intensive care unit. this was primarily for aggressive pulmonary toilet and for delirious mental status changes that responded well to haldol p.r.n. during this time she was continued on her normal perioperative course of vancomycin in addition, possible sources of her delirium were aggressively sought and non appeared to have been found. during all of the time the white count remained stable in the 10 to 12 region and the bun and creatinine were also stable. by the 7th postoperative day, the patient was transferred our of intensive care onto the hospital floor. on the floor, the lopressor was sequentially increased to a final dose of 75 b.i.d. in addition, the lasix was converted from iv to a p.o. form as she continued to diurese and approached her preoperative weight. in addition, the physical therapy team assessed her and noted her severe impairment and mobility. they recommended rehabilitation upon discharge and felt that she had good potential for return to her prior level of functioning. the patient had no other acute events during her hospitalization. it should be noted that the white blood cell count on the day prior to her transfer did climb from 11 to 15. however, on the day of her transfer it went back down to 12. during all this time, she remained afebrile. on , the patient was transferred to tcu for further care. it should be noted that her care originated at . she is asked to followup with her primary care physician in approximately two weeks and to see dr. in approximately four weeks. the patient is transferred on the following medications: 1. lasix 20 mg p.o.b.i.d. 2. potassium chloride 20 meq p.o.b.i.d. 3. heparin 5000 subcutaneously b.i.d. 4. colace 100 mg p.o.b.i.d. 5. enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o.q.d. 6. protonix 40 mg p.o.q.d. 7. glyburide 2.5 mg p.o.q.d. 8. lopressor 75 mg p.o.b.i.d. 9. ibuprofen 400 mg p.o.q.4h.to 6h.p.r.n. 10. tylenol 650 mg p.o.q.4h.to 6h.p.r.n. 11. sliding scale regular insulin. of note: regarding the preoperative medications, we could not find a definitive indication for plavix and have not yet restarted that, in addition to a likely need to have her norvasc, diovan, and lipitor restarted in the future, it is unclear whether or not she will continue to need the higher does of lopressor or the higher dose of lasix following her operation. it is recommended that she be followed clinically. discharge diagnoses: 1. coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass grafting times three. 2. pulmonary hypertension. 3. hypertension, treated. 4. non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus treated.

auscultation bilaterally. she had tenderness on her anterior chest and sternum. she had no crepitus. she had positive ecchymosis on the right scapula. cardiac: examination revealed regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2. abdomen: soft, nontender, nondistended with positive bowel sounds. back: positive tenderness at t8. there were no stepoffs, no deformity. rectal: on examination, she had normal rectal tone, guaiac negative. extremities: she had a positive dopplerable pulse on the right upper quadrant, no sensation or movement in the right upper extremity. neurological: the coma scale was 15. laboratory data: on admission, white count was 12.2, hematocrit 32.4, platelet count 212,000. pt 13.8, ptt 21.2, inr 1.2. blood gas 7.40, 39, 78, 25, and 0. chem 7: sodium 138, potassium 3.7, chloride 105, bicarbonate 25, bun 16, creatinine 0.7. the patient had an angiogram done, which showed a right axillary artery disruption. the patient was seen by the department of vascular surgery and taken to the operating room, where she underwent a right axial-brachial bypass with reverse greater saphenous vein. there were no complications during surgery. the patient recovered well in the pacu. the patient was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit in stable condition. the patient was transferred to the floor on hospital day #2. the patient's chest x-ray showed rib fractures on the right and a right scapular fracture with involvement of the intraarticular surface of the glenoid. abdominal ct was negative and cervical spine ct was negative. the scapular fracture was assessed by the department of orthopedic surgery. it was determined that the comminuted scapular fracture could be repaired nonemergently and it was determined for that to be done two weeks after discharge from the hospital. the patient was also assessed by the department of neurology. it was suspected that she has a brachial plexus injury with possible nerve root tear or avulsion. mri of the shoulder was attempted, but the patient did not fit into the scanner. it was determined that instead of mri, the patient could wait two weeks and then receive electromyelogram to test nerve function of the brachial plexus on an outpatient basis. the hospital course was marked by a decrease in her hematocrit during day #3 to a low of 22. the patient received two units of packed red blood cell transfusion with a resulting hematocrit of 28. on discharge, the hematocrit was 29.8. during the hospital course the patient was also repleted with potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. the hospital recovery was, otherwise, uneventful. she was evaluated by the departments of physical therapy and occupational therapy and given treatment and instructions on activities of daily living, mobility and compensatory mechanisms with limited or no use of her right arm at this time. during her hospital stay, the physical examination of her right arm was not changed dramatically. she appears to have some sensation to light touch of her right arm. sensation and touch seems to localize to her epigastric area. on the day of discharge, the patient also reported some shooting pain into her right arm. it is unclear if this was phantom pain or true pain transmitting from the limb. the patient has continued to have no voluntary movement of her right arm. the arm has continued to be warm with a strong radial pulse since the bypass graft. the patient was cleared for discharge from pt and ot and prepared for discharge on hospital day #6. because the patient has no insurance and case manager was unable to set up any home care for her, plan has been developed for her to continue rehabilitation from home with the help of family members and followup with her primary care physician, . in , . on discharge, the patient has been given instructions to followup in one week with dr. , department of orthopedics here at for repeat shoulder x-rays and examination with the goal of surgical repair of the right scapula in approximately two weeks after discharge. we are unable to arrange any followup with neurology. it was determined with the patient that it would be better for her to followup with the neurologist in her home area with referral from her primary care physician. neurologist that she sees in can assess her brachial plexus injury and determine what further diagnostic modalities may be needed, although it should be noted that neurology here had recommended emg in two weeks. the patient was discharged with instructions to use a sling and swathe of her right shoulder at all times. she is instructed to use the exercises and skills as taught to her by pt and ot. she was told to followup with her primary care physician early next week. she was discharged with a prescription for percocet total count 20 for pain and a prescription for phenobarbital total count 21, because it was not clear if she would be going home or staying with relatives. it is not clear if she has a supply of medication with her. the patient's sutures and staples of her head laceration were removed on day of discharge. the patient has staples at the site of the saphenous vein donor site, which will need to be removed by her primary care physician in approximately two weeks post surgery, which would be around . on discharge, the patient's diagnoses were the following: discharge diagnoses: 1. right axillary artery injury repaired by saphenous vein bypass graft. 2. right scapular fracture. 3. right brachial plexus injury. 4. head laceration. 5. rib fractures. 6. closed head injury. , m.d.

coarsened echogenic hepatic architecture consistent with patient's known cirrhosis. splenomegaly. brief hospital course: this is a 58 year old male with a history of hepatitis c, alcohol abuse and cirrhosis, hypertension, and obesity who presents from clinic with weakness, fatigue, and profound hypotensive. of note he has no prior diagnosis of diabtes. #severe hypotension: there was concen for sepsis given, profound hypotension and history of cirrhosis, in the ed and antibiotics were started. however, pt remained afebrile and without a leukocytosis and had not had any symptoms consistant with infection. understanding that these findings may be blunted in his case due to cirrhosis this argues aganist an infectious process and the decision was made to stop antibiotic therapy early in his icu stay. cardiogenic etilogy was also considered although pt has no symptoms of ischemia. an initial troponin was elevated but reapeat troponins were stable and likely elevated due to demand in the setting of hypotension. his ekg in the ed and a repeat in the icu was not alarming for acute ischemia. a acute bleed in the setting of cirrhosis and coagulopaty was also considered, although inr coagulation profile were initially normal, and patient had a negative ct scan, and no melena, or abdominal pain. consequently, he was treated under the presumption that his hypotension was secondary to osmotic diuresis in the setting of hyperglycemia and undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. he revieved an insulin drip, potassium replacement, and approximately 10 liters of normal saline. he was subsequently weaned off of norepinephrine drip and his blood pressure stabilized. he was advanced to a regular diet and placed on an insulin sliding scale and then long acting glargine. #diabetes: patient was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. as he was placed on insulin, his blood glucoses trended downward. he was seen by endocrine and recommended to be discharged with glargine 30 units qhs and to check his blood glocuse qac. he was told that if his glucose is ever below 100, to call the main hospital line and page the endocrine fellow (number was given). he has a follow up appointment with on , . #acute renal failure: initially the patients creatinine was elevated in the setting of hypotension. however with aggressive iv fluids his creatinine normalized and he maintained good urine output. urine sodium was low and thus there was little concern for syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone. #hyponatremia: likely related to hypovolemia. this improved with fluid resuscitation. given pts cirrhosis he is likely hyponatremic at baseline. #thrombocytompenia and anemia: likely related to fluid resuscitation or splenic sequestration. be indicitive of some underlaying pathology and further work up along with workup for anemia as an outpatient is prudent. #cirrhosis: this is a chronic issue secondary to the patient's etoh abuse and hepatitis c. meld score is ~ 15. and a childs score of 6. his liver functions tests were trended and remained stable. a afp was measured, and was normal, out of concern for hepatoma. a ct scan showed hepatomegly and splenomegaly with sphenorenal shunt and intracapsular fluid consistant with cirrhosis. #congestive heart failure: this is apparently a chronic issue, however his prior ejection fraction (ef) was reportedly 55%. consequently a repeat echo was performed which showed good cardiac function with an ef of 50-55%. #hypertension: chronic issue. during his icu stay his home blood pressure medications were held. transitional issues: - cardiology follow-up - please repeat a tsh as an outpatient. tsh and t4 were normal in house, t3 was low. - liver follow-up - pcp for anemia and coordination of care

grade stenosis, receiving 1 des to lima-lad anastamosis with no intervention on the left circumflex lesion. . # coronary artery disease: he was admitted to the ccu following cardiac catherization. he was continued on aspirin, plavix, atorvastatin and beta blocker. on hospital day 1, he developed chest pain consistent with prior angina. ekg showed rate related ventricular conduction delay with repolarization abnormalties that resolved with better rate control. chest pain resolved improved with slng and resolved with maalox. he remained chest pain free for the remainder of the hospitalization. plan is to return to cath lab to fix circumflex lesion in native circulation as an outpatient. dr. has been asked to coordinate this with cardiology intake nurses at . pt was told to stop lansoprazole and take ranitidine instead. . # ventricular tachycardia arrest: the polymorphic vt c/w torsades at the outside hospital was thought to be due to metabolic abnormalities, notably hypokalemia, and possibly cardiac ischemia. there did not appear to be any precipitating medications. his electrolytes were closely monitored with potassium maintained >4.5 and magnesium at >2.0. he was started on low dose beta blocker. the electrophysiology service evaluated the patient an icd was placed on . he will need to take cephalexin for an additional 24 hours. pt was advised that he cannot drive until after he sees dr. . . # acute on chronic sytolic heart failure: the patient appeared euvolemic clinically on exam and his home dose diuretics were continued. a transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed moderate regional and global left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ef 30%), most c/w multivessel cad. he was started on metoprolol succinate instead of atenolol. lisinopril was started and stopped as inpatient because of low blood pressures. this should be considered as outpatient for afterload reduction. note: bp is 20 points higher in left arm, please use this for blood pressure monitoring. . # delirium: the patient developed an acute confusional state on hospital day zero consistent with delirium. this was thought to be due to a combination of hypoperfusion s/p arrest and medications, notably sedatives administered during catheterization. alcohol withdrawal was considered although history and exam were less consistent. infection was considered so a chest film was obtained that showed evidence of pneumonia so antibiotics were started for community acquired pneumonia. his mental status improved within 36 hours and he soon returned to baseline orientation and had no further delirium through hospitalization. . # pneumonia: seen on cxr and started on cefpodixime and azithro for 5 days, ending on cxr : left lung base pneumonia and suggestion of granulomatous disease. follow up chest xray 4 weeks after the completion of antibiotics is recommended to assess further. # copd: no evidence of exacerbation at this time. #tobacco abuse: patient

acute coronary syndrome s/p ventricular tachycardia acute on chronic systolic congestive heart failure left lower lobe pneumonia. acute delerium ventricular tachycardia s/p icd placement. discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: you had cheest pain and trouble breathing and was admitted to hospital. while you were waiting for a cardiac catheterization there, you had ventricular tachycardia, a dangerous rhythm that required shocks to normalize. you were then transferred here for a cardiac catheterization that showed many blockages in your coronary arteries. one of the worst blockages was fixed with a drug eluting stent. you will need to take aspirin and plavix every day to keep this stent from clotting off and causing a heart attack. do not stop taking aspirin or plavix unless dr. tells you to. you also received an internal defibrillator (icd) to treat the ventricular tachycardia if it returns. if the icd does shock your heart for this rhythm, it will feel like a very strong kick in the chest. if this happens, please call dr. right away. you will need to have the icd checked every 6 months. you will have the first appt here in next week but can they get the icd checks in if you want. you also had some changes on your chest x-ray that could be because of the infection. you will need another chest x-ray in about 1 month to check again. we made the following changes to your medicines: 1. start taking aspirin and plavix to prevent the stent from clotting off 2. take nitroglycerin under your tongue if you have any cheat pain. sit down and take tablet, wait 5 minutes, take another tablet if you still have chest pain. if you have chest pain after 2 tablets, call 911. 3. use a nicotine patch every day to help you stop smoking. use the 14 mg patch every day for 6 weeks, then decrease to the 7 mg patch for 2 weeks, then discontinue. 4. stop taking atenolol 5. start taking metoprolol to decrease your heart rate 6. take , antibiotic three times a day for one day to prevent infections at the pacer site. 7. stop taking lansoprzole, take ranitidine for heartburn instead . weigh yourself every morning before breakfast and write it down, md if weight goes up more than 3 lbs in 1 day or 6 pounds in 3 days. check your

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 54-year-old female with a history of rheumatic heart disease with valvular dysfunction, coronary artery disease, status post myocardial infarction secondary to atrial thrombus, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and anemia, who presented with palpitations on , and was found to be in rapid atrial fibrillation. the patient was rate controlled with beta-blockers and started on intravenous heparin considering the fact that it was unknown whether she had been on her coumadin at home, and her inr was subtherapeutic. once the patient was stable from a cardiac standpoint, she underwent exam under anesthesia and a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for fibroids and pelvic pain and menorrhagia on . postoperatively the patient was started on a heparin drip. on postoperative day #2, she was noted to be slightly tachycardiac with good urine output with a slightly distended abdomen and a hematocrit drop from 31 to 25 for which she was given 3 u of packed red blood cells. her posttransfusion hematocrit was 26. the patient however became progressively tachycardiac and oliguric, and on postoperative day #3, a ct of the abdomen revealed an intraperitoneal hematoma with portal venous air. the patient continued to hemorrhage with a hematocrit drop to 19 and became progressively coagulopathic despite ffp. general surgery was consulted for further care of this patient. past medical history: 1. rheumatic heart disease, moderate ms, and trivial as. 2. coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction secondary to atrial thrombus embolizing to a coronary artery. 3. congestive heart failure. 4. atrial fibrillation. 5. depression. 6. gastritis. 7. menorrhagia and fibroids. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications at home: coumadin, aspirin, zantac, lasix, ..................., risperdal, ativan, desipramine. physical examination: general: on admission the patient was generally in no apparent distress. vital signs: she was afebrile. heart rate was in the 110s, and she was in atrial fibrillation. neck: supple. chest: clear with no crackles or wheezes. heart: irregularly irregular. abdomen: soft, nontender, nondistended. rectal: guaiac negative. extremities: soft. no clubbing, cyanosis,or edema. neurological: she was neurologically intact. laboratory data: white count on admission was 8.3, hematocrit 38.2; inr 1.3. hospital course: the patient was admitted on , and her atrial fibrillation was managed by the medicine team. once she was stable from that standpoint, she was taken to the operating room for a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. postoperatively the patient became tachycardiac. she dropped her hematocrit despite being transfused 2 u packed red blood cells. ct scan of the abdomen revealed an intraperitoneal hematoma with portal venous air. she continued to hemorrhage and became hemodynamically unstable. general surgery was consulted, and she was taken to the operating room on , for exploration and evacuation of the hematoma and oversewing of the posterior aspect of the vaginal cuff. the patient tolerated the procedure well. she was transferred to the sicu intubated and sedated. her postoperative course in the intensive care unit was notable for several episodes of rapid atrial fibrillation. she was cardioverted for the first time on , and then went back into atrial fibrillation on with unsuccessful. she was again cardioverted on and remained in sinus. she underwent an echocardiogram on which showed some pulmonary hypertension. also of note, the patient's white count was noted to be elevated, and she was pancultured. her urine and sputum were positive for growth, and she was started on levofloxacin and ceftazidime. otherwise her intensive care unit course was uneventful. the patient was eventually transferred to the floor on . her diet was advanced. she was restarted on her coumadin, and on , postoperative days 15 and 12, the patient was discharged home in stable condition. discharge medications: risperdal 2 mg p.o. q.d., desipramine 100 mg p.o. q.d., zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., coumadin to be dosed for an inr of , aspirin, toprol 75 mg p.o. t.i.d., amiodarone 400 mg t.i.d. x 7 days, then 400 mg b.i.d. x 7 days, then 400 mg q.d., diltiazem 30 mg p.o. q.i.d., metoprolol 75 mg p.o. t.i.d., clonidine 2 mg patch once q.week. follow-up: she was told to follow-up with her cardiologist, and she was also discharged with vna for inr draws. dr 02.365 dictated by: medquist36 procedure: other removal of both ovaries and tubes at same operative episode reopening of recent laparotomy site diagnoses: congestive heart failure, unspecified atrial fibrillation hemorrhage complicating a procedure other specified surgical operations and procedures causing abnormal patient reaction, or later complication, without mention of misadventure at time of operation old myocardial infarction leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified excessive or frequent menstruation mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 79 year-old woman with history of aortic stenosis and hypertension who presented with an episode of syncope. she was brushing her teeth when she suddenly became light headed. she tried to hold on for support but then passed out. she found herself on the floor. she had a wound to her head which she reported copious bleeding from. she then came into the emergency room for further evaluation. she denied any symptoms of chest pain, palpitations or shortness of breath. she did report a large black stool the day prior to admission but also reports that she is on chronic iron and she also has dark stools. the head laceration was sutured in the emergency room and she was admitted to the medicine floor for further evaluation. laboratories in the emergency room revealed hematocrit of 29 and per primary care physician it had been 39 one month earlier. she was noted to be in first degree av block on her electrocardiogram. past medical history: aortic stenosis with valve area of 0.7 by last echocardiogram, hypertension, status post cataract surgery, status post total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, gerd, mild hypercholesterolemia. medications: adalat c 60 mg p.o. q. day, hydrochlorothiazide 5 mg p.o. q day, aspirin 81 mg p.o. q. day, multivitamins, iron, prilosec 40 mg p.o. q. day. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: she lives at home with her husband. she denies any alcohol or tobacco use. physical examination: heart rate 60, blood pressure 160 to 190/50 to 70, respiratory rate 18, temperature 98.6, fao2 96 percent on room air. in general a thin elderly african-american woman appears comfortable in no acute distress. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: there is a laceration on the posterior right side of the head approximately 3 cm in length which is well sutured. pupils are surgical. oropharynx is clear. moist mucosal membranes. lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart is regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2. there is a iii/vi systolic murmur which is loudest at the upper sternal border that radiates throughout the precordium and also to the carotid and subclavian arteries. the carotid pulse is slow and delayed. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended. extremities no edema. laboratory data: white count 5.8, hematocrit 29.3, platelets 265, inr 1.1, ptt 22.8. sodium 131, potassium 5.2, chloride 98, bicarb 24, bun 23, creatinine 1.2, glucose 78, ck 121, troponin less than 0.3. electrocardiogram normal sinus rhythm at 60 beats per minute, first degree av block, pr interval 355. there is evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy and left axis deviation. echocardiogram : left ventricular ejection fraction 20%, left ventricular hypertrophy, mild mitral regurgitation, mild mitral regurgitation, sclerotic aortic valve with area of 0.7, mild to moderate aortic regurgitation, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, increased pa pressure. hospital course: the patient was initially admitted to the general medicine service for further evaluation. over the course of the day she developed 2 to 1 av block on telemetry with episodes of complete heart block with pauses averaging 6 seconds. she was seen by the cardiology consult service. they suspected initially that this was an intra-hissian block and recommended that atropine be avoided. she was asymptomatic and hemodynamically stable. they recommended that the electrophysiology service evaluate her for pacemaker the following day. however, later that night at approximately 1 a.m. she began to have increased frequency of pauses with one pause of 12 seconds. she was symptomatic and dizzy with this although her blood pressure remained stable. she was transferred to the cardiac care unit for closer monitoring and temporary pacing wire placement. the cardiology fellow came in to assist with the placing of a line and the temporary wire placement. it was attempted to place a cordis in the right internal jugular. however, access was difficult and line placement was unsuccessful. as she had remained in the cardiac care unit at that time for approximately three hours and actually remained in normal sinus rhythm except for the first degree av block that entire time with no further pauses and was hemodynamically stable, the decision was made to await the ep service to arrive to place a permanent pacemaker. however, later that morning on review of her medical history and examination the patient reported that for quite some time she had been having dyspnea on exertion and therefore it was suspected that she actually did have symptomatic aortic stenosis and may need a valve replacement. therefore, permanent pacemaker placement was delayed as if she were to need valve replacement this would need to be done first. therefore, she went to the catheterization laboratory where a temporary pacing wire was placed to the right groin. of note, again she was difficult access with three failed attempts at right subclavian and one failed attempt at left internal jugular. a successful access was gained through the right femoral vein. she did well with the temporary pacer. she continued to be hypertensive and was restarted on her hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg p.o. q. day. of note, her calcium channel blocker had been held ever since admission because of the heart block. the patient then underwent cardiac catheterization in preparation for possible valve surgery. on catheterization she was found to have non-flow limiting single vessel disease of the lad with 80 percent stenosis. normal left main. normal left circumflex. normal rca. evaluation of the aortic valve revealed a mean gradient of 32 and a calculated valve area of 0.8. therefore, this was felt to be noncritical aortic stenosis, and it was felt that surgery for valve replacement is not indicated at this time. therefore on the morning of she was transferred to the electrophysiology laboratory for permanent pacer placement. a second issue during this hospitalization was her hematocrit. as noted in the history of present illness her hematocrit in the emergency department is 29, but her primary care physician two weeks later hematocrit was 39. then on recheck of the hematocrit approximately 12 hours after her admission when she was transferred to the cardiac care unit her hematocrit was 21. subsequent recheck of the hematocrit revealed that it stabilized at about 22. initially the patient refused blood transfusion, but eventually did consent. she was given two units of packed red blood cells with bump in the hematocrit to 33. since the transfusion her hematocrit had remained stable in the 31 to 33 range. hemolysis and dic panels were sent, which were not worrisome for hemolysis or dic. iron studies were sent which were not consistent with iron deficiency anemia and she has low iron but elevated ferritin and low tibc. her stools were repeatedly guaiac negative. she had no gastrointestinal symptoms and her bun remained low normal, which all of this is not consistent with gastrointestinal bleed. at this time it is not known why her hematocrit was so low at 21. if all other work up is negative, the possibility is that she actually had a significant blood loss from her scalp laceration as the patient does report that she bled enough that she did actual mopping of the blood on her bathroom floor. however, it should not be discounted that further work up may be necessary, including outpatient colonoscopy as well as possible need for bone marrow biopsy to completely work up this anemia with low mcv. it is anticipated that if the hematocrit remained stable and the patient did well after her pacemaker placement that she will be discharged to home. if there are any further events there will be an addendum to this summary. discharge diagnoses: 1. aortic stenosis with valve area of 0.8. 2. hypertension. 3. anemia. discharge medications:

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: weakness major surgical or invasive procedure: i & d of pilonidal cyst - lower back history of present illness: 45 yo male with esrd on t/th/sat hd with triopathy, morbid obesity presented to ed with new complaint of weakness this am. the patient was weak bilaterally in his arms/legs and he noticed this when he had difficulty arising from seated position. he has never had this type of symptom before. he states that his fs was 186 this am and that his sugars were not low overnight. he also states that he was sob at this time and was also sob on walking to his car. he did not have any pleuritic pain. denied any fevers, chills or night sweats or any cough. denied any chest pain or palpitations. in the ed, the patient was noted to have: k of 7.1 -> treated with kayexalate, 10u insulin, 1 amp d50, kayexalate 15gm x1, 1 amp na hco3 and 1 amp calcium gluconate. after this treatment, his k dropped to 6.7. the patient notes that he felt improvement in both his energy level/strength and had improvement in his respiration. he notes that he was able to transfer without significant weakness. on ekg, he was noted to have flattened p waves and a junctional rhythm with some deepening of s -> p waves which returned after treatment and the depth of his s in ii was reduced. additionally, a pilonidal cyst over the coccyx was lanced and drained. patient has been on hd x 4 years and was being dialyzed through a tunneled l subclavian catheter. patient notes that over the past week, the flow rate in his dialysis catheter has been reduced from 450ml/min to ~300ml/min. the dialysis rn notes that she had to remove a clot from one of his dialysis ports and needed to run the dialysis in reverse. over the past 3 days, the patient has been dining on plantains. in the micu, received emergent dialysis. k had decreased to 5.1 at the time of transfer. past medical history: dm - since age 10. he had an attempted fistula on the r wrist which did not mature. he then had a graft which lasted for a few years which clotted off. a trial of a repeat graft was unsuccessful. his current tunneled dialysis line has been in since . esrd - is his nephrologist neuropathy htn obesity: currently being evaluated at for gastric bypass prior to renal transplant social history: no etoh, no cigarettes or illicity drug use. currently unemployed family history: noncontributory physical exam: admission physical exam: t: 98.0 bp: 135/37 p: 70 rr:16 o2 sats: 99% 1.5l gen: obese male in nad heent: op clear no lesions noted neck: large. supple. cv: +s1+s2 rrr no mumurs appreciated resp: cta b/l. mild expiratory wheezing. abd: obese. non tender, non distended ext: no edema. 2 toe amputation on l foot. s/p graft on l foot. neuro: aao x 3 cn: intact sensation: symmetric and intact on les pertinent results: 08:55pm comments-green top 08:55pm glucose-77 k+-6.7* 08:45pm glucose-80 urea n-105* creat-15.0* sodium-136 potassium-6.6* chloride-98 total co2-21* anion gap-24* 08:45pm calcium-8.8 phosphate-5.9* magnesium-3.3* 05:45pm glucose-145* urea n-105* creat-14.5*# sodium-134 potassium-7.1* chloride-96 total co2-21* anion gap-24* 05:45pm ck(cpk)-442* 05:45pm ctropnt-0.16* 05:45pm ck-mb-7 05:45pm calcium-9.1 phosphate-5.7*# magnesium-3.3* 05:45pm wbc-7.6 rbc-3.64* hgb-11.2* hct-32.4* mcv-89 mch-30.7 mchc-34.5 rdw-16.5* 05:45pm neuts-66.4 lymphs-23.2 monos-5.9 eos-4.1* basos-0.3 05:45pm anisocyt-1+ 05:45pm plt count-302 05:45pm pt-11.5 ptt-23.8 inr(pt)-1.0 cxr: limited study. no definite focal consolidation nor specific evidence of volume overload. brief hospital course: mr. weakness was likely a sequela of hyperkalemia secondary to dietary indiscretion. he demonstrated no signs of infection or cardiac etiology. although trop is elevated, it is in the setting of esrd and mb fraction not elevated. # hyperkalemia: seems to stem from dietary indiscretion. in the ed, he was aggressively treated with calcium gluconate, insulin, sodium bicaronate, and kayexelate. he was then urgently dialyzed. following dialysis, his potassium remained stable. he was re-instructed regarding a low potassium diet. # esrd: the hyperkalemia besides dietary indiscretion may also have been precipitated by decreased flow in his dialysis catheter. rn also found clot which was removed. the patient was dialyzed successfully and will continue dialysis as an outpatient as previously scheduled. he was continued on renagel, phoslo, and nephrocaps. # abnormal ekg: in the ed, the patient was noted to have a loss of p waves (either a junctional rhythm or hyperkalemia-related). with treatment of his hyperkalemia, his ekg returned to baseline. # dm: the patient was continued on his home regimen of nph and regular insulin. #

department with abdominal pain of 1 day duration. ct scan revealed free air consistent with a perforated viscus. she was fluid resuscitated and taken to the operating room where it was discovered that she had a perforated duodenal ulcer. an open cholecystectomy, anterior parietal cell vagotomy, and patch closure of the perforated duodenal ulcer were performed. she was taken to the intensive care unit and remained intubated post-operatively. neurologic: the patient suffers from schizoaffective disorder. in the initial post-operative period sedation was required. as her pulmonary status improved on the ventilator sedation was weaned and she was extubated. her pcp has been following her status with us and states that she is back to her baseline mental status. cardiovascular: her post-operative course was complicated by atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. a cardiology consult was obtained and while in the icu she required diltiazem, amiodarone, and metoprolol iv to obtain adequate rate control. she has been transitioned to oral diltiazem, amiodarone, and metoprolol and has since converted to a normal sinus rhythmn as evidenced by an ekg obtained on as well as on date of discharge. cardiology has recommended that she be discharged on her current regimen, not to change the dosing, and follow up in the cardiology clinic. an appointment was scheduled for her for . pulmonary: she remained intubated post-operatively. her ventilatory status improved and she was able to be extubated in the icu. she has had problems with clearing upper airway secretions. she was given an incentive spirometer and extensive chest physical therapy and this has helped clear the secretions. a sputum culture was sent and revealed only the growth of normal oropharyngeal flora. with her history of copd she received scheduled albuterol/ipratropium nebulizers. her oxygen saturations are in the high 90s on room air. gastrointestinal: the patient remained npo in the immediate post-operative period. after extubation there was concern for aspiration with swallowing. a swallow study was obtained and revealed a functional pharyngeal swallow with no evidence for aspiration. she was started on a pureed and nectar thickened liquid diet. her swallow study was repeated with the same results and she was advanced to a regular diet with nutritional shakes with every meal. her bowel function has returned and she is having normal bowel movements. gu: she was transferred to the floor with a foley catheter in place. on pod 13 her foley catheter was removed. she did complain of suprapubic so a straight cath was performed to obtain a sterile urine specimen. when the straight cath was inserted, 900cc of urine was obtained so the foley was left in place. a second voiding trial was obtained and this time the patient was able ambulate to the bathroom with assistance and void. renal: on presentation her creatinine was 1.6. after surgery and aggressive fluid resuscitation her creatinine normalized to 0.7. while on the surgical floor her creatinine did elevate to 1.2. urine lytes and a smear for eosinophils were normal. she was gently rehydrated with intravenous fuids and her creatinine has normalized back to 0.9. endo: the patient was receiving blood sugar checks 4 times a day with sliding scale insulin as needed. she did have blood sugars as low as 60 and 78. due to these low blood sugars her oral diabetic medications were initially held, then restarted as blood sugars improved. heme: the patient's hematocrit upon presentation was 41.8, but this was falsely elevated due to hemoconcentration. post-operatively her hematocrit trended downward from 32.4 to 22.5. this was thought to be due to anemia of chronic disease as her vital signs remained stable and her urine output was adequate. she was transfused with 2 units of packed rbcs. her post-transfusion hematocrit was 30.4 and it has remained stable at 30. id: she was empirically treated for h.pylori. while in the icu and on the floor she did have low grade temperature spikes. the source of the spikes was unclear so she was empirically started on zosyn and a ct scan of her chest, abdomen, and pelvis was obtained which revealed normal post-operative changes in her abdomen and no organizing consolidations in her lungs. the zosyn was discontinued after 3 days and she has remained afebrile. she was placed on lansoprazole for empiric hpylori treatment. medications on admission: 1. lisinopril 20mg daily 2. atenolol 3. glipizide 1.25mg daily 4. aspirin 81mg daily 5.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: iv dye, iodine containing / meropenem attending: chief complaint: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension and neutropenic fever major surgical or invasive procedure: bone marrow biopsy history of present illness: mr. is a 71 yo m with a h/o pmr, c. diff colitis, +ppd treated with inh, and aml s/p allogenic sct with relapse treated w/ decitabine now s/p donor lymphocyte infusion on who developed nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea shortly thereafter. he began having nausea and vomiting on the evening of shortly after returning to . he received chemotherapy (decitabine) from his oncologist in ny on . he then developed diarrhea and a bright macular papular rash on the trunk extending to the feet on and was admitted to an osh on and is now transferred to with pancytopenia and suspicion of gvhd vs. c. diff colitis or other infection. he presented to an osh on nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and a maculopapular rash. he ran a low grade fever and was found to be pancytopenic with a wbc 0.4, hct 29 and plt 27. he was initially placed on a low sodium, lactose-free diet with ivf and received his fifth dose of decitabine on that day. on the 16th he spiked a fever in the setting of receiving a transfusion and was pan-cultured. tpn was initiated on due to poor po intake. per the patient's wife, he spiked a fever to 103 on this date. on he was noted to be hypotensive on the floor, but responded to bolused ivf with systolics in teh 90s. there was reportedly also a question of a cavitating mass in his lung. after conversations with the bmt fellow on he was started on vancomycin, zosyn (they did not have cefepime on formulary), micafungin, and flagyl (unclear if he received all of these) and received a unit of platelets and solumedrol 30 mg iv for presumed gvhd. en route to sbps ranged from 76 to 122, but were mostly around/above 100 systolic. . on arrival in , the patient appeared tired and was occasionally dry heaving. he reported some intermittant lightheadedness earlier in the day as well as some lower abdominal pain in a band like pattern similar to his prior c. diff abdominal pain that had since passed. past medical history: #

myelodysplastic syndrome and fish revealed trisomy 8, blasts were approximately 20%. - : began monthly azacitidine therapy, until - : resumed a transfusion requirement, developed severe bone pain and worsening fatigue. he was admitted on when he was noted to have circulating blasts. repeat marrow was consistent with aml and began therapy with 7+3 on . his post induction course was complicated by c. diff. his day 14 bone marrow was hypocellular and consistent with chemotherapeutic effect. his day 30 bone marrow biopsy was mildly hypercellular, erythroid dominant and without definite morphologic evidence of leukemia. - : sibling-matched allogeneic stem cell transplant with fludarabine, busulfan, and atg as his conditioning regimen;discharged on - : admitted for fever and pelvic pain. bone marrow showed recurrence of disease. went through 1 cycle of decogen. discharged on . - : admitted to medicine for leg/pelvic pain w/ 34% blasts in the peripheral blood. the patient tolerated decitabine and blast count on discharge was 6%. discharged . # other medical history: - pmr - hyperlipidemia - +ppd in with 4 months of inh therapy - bph - osteoarthritis - h/o c. difficile

a brief increase in counts and an anc that peaked at 1700. he then began decreasing his counts. a bm biopsy on was done and showed recurrence of aml. he was treated with decitibine starting on . repeat bone marrow biopsy on showed hypercellular bone marrow with persistent involvement by patient's known acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. patient became increasingly somnolent, though arousable and non con ct head was negative for bleed. he developed generalized pain and weakness attributed to his disease. further work up with mri and lp was not pursued as goals of care were shifted towards comfort given the refractory nature of the patient's disease and his multiple infections. he was ultimately discharged home with hospice. note: medication dosages were changed slightly after discharge to accomodate his needs for the ambulance ride- po morphine dosage was increased to 10-20 mg po q2hr prn. . # n/v/d: patient was positive for c diff. he was started on po vancomycin 250 every 6 hours. his diarrhea was persistent, and because of his risk factors he was increased to 500mg po q6h. he has also been on po flagyl 500 po q8 for this. the first week of his abdominal pain increased to , and he began having large volume watery bowel movements. , he spiked a fever to 101, and a ct abd/pelvis was done. it showed thickening of the ileum concerning for infection vs. gvhd. he also had a new rul opacity on chest x-ray. he was restarted on broad spectrum antibiotics, and worked up to rule out tuberculosis (past + ppd). his diarrhea resolved. he was ruled out for tuberculosis and started on voriconazole for presumed aspergillus. on , he had return of his diarrhea in the setting of decreasing his po vancomycin to 125 po q12. he was restarted on po vanc 500mg q6 and was tapered to 125 mg po q6 hours for the remainder of his hospitalization with resolution of his sxs. . # febrile neutropenia: patient was placed on iv vancomycin/cefepime. he remained afebrile, and after 14 days his iv antibiotics were discontinued. on he respiked a fever with possible sources being his abd and lung based on imaging studies. he was restarted on vanc and cefepime. his culture data was negative with the exception of c diff. he was eventually expanded over the course of a week to iv vancomycin, cefepime, flagyl, and po vancomycin and voriconazole. he was on acyclovir and pentamidine ppx. he continued to have fevers approx q48 hours from . during that time he had a repeat bone marrow on which showed recurrence of his aml. it was initially thought that the fevers were in part due to recurrence but mycolytic blood cultures were positive for malessezia furfur (believed to be associated with tpn and his central line) and patient was treated with line removal and ambisome transiently (stopped secondary to fevers), and then voriconazole/posaconazole. . #. gvhd: patient presented with a sandpapery maculopapular rash on arms and legs thought to be gvhd. he was thus started on low-dose iv solumedrol 30 mg daily. he also continued to have loose stools while on the po flagyl and vancomycin. gi was consulted and wanted to do a c-scope to evaluate for gvhd of the gut, but held off because of his neutropenia. repeat imaging showed thickening of the ileum that was concerning for gvhd or infection. he was kept on solumedrol througout his stay. a repeat abdominal ct on showed resolution of the ileum thickening and colitis. he continued to have watery bowel movements, but they decreased in frequency. . # rul lung lesion - patient has history of +ppd that has been treated with inh for 4 months which was discontinued because of liver toxicity. he was also at risk for invasive fungal infection. he was without cough, but was worked up for fungal and bacterial causes (including induced sputum for tuberculosis). he was ruled out for tuberculosis, and in the setting of a positive b-glucan he was thought to have a fungal pneumonia, which was treated with voriconazole. on repeat chest ct , the pneumonia had decreased in size. he was continued on voriconazole throughout his hospitalization. medications on admission: 1. docusate sodium 100 mg 2.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: no allergies/adrs on file attending: chief complaint: "i jumped out of a car" major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: this is a 39 year old male who apparently jumped out of a moving vehicle. he was agitated at the scene. he was seen at an osh and a head ct demonstrated bifrontal contusion. he became more agitated and less responsive. as a result, he was transferred immediately to for further management. he was seen in the ed prior to intubation and sedation. he was combative and agitated. past medical history: none social history: portuguese speaking only, he is currently wanted by police family history: nc physical exam: admission: gcs 12 e4, v2 m6 gen: agitated, combative then intubated with propofol/vec neuro: pupil 5mm and reactive b/l, moving all extremities purposefully, no rhinorrhea, no otorrhea, no battle sign, no racoon eyes. incomprehensible speech. on discharge: pertinent results: ct head w/o contrast 1. bilateral frontal contusions, right greater than left, which appear slightly more prominent on the current study. subarachnoid hemorrhage overlying the frontal lobes bilaterally. small subdural hematoma overlying the left frontal lobe and along the anterior falx which is also a slightly more prominent. likely development of cerebral edema with sulci less prominent than on the prior study. no shift of midline structures or evidence of herniation, however. 2. non-displaced fractures through the left frontal bone and left temporal bone through the mastoid air cells. carotid canal appears preserved. 3. small foci of pneumocephalus overlying the left cerebellar hemisphere and occipital lobes with associated small amount of extra-axial hemorrhage. ct head w/o contrast bilateral frontal contusions, stable in extent with areas of hypodensity consistent with edema. small subdural hematomas overlying the left frontal lobe and along the anterior falx and left cerebellar hemisphere are stable. no new areas of intracranial hemorrhage. continued effacement of sulci consistent with diffuse cerebral edema but no shift of midline structures or evidence of herniation. brief hospital course: this is a 39 year old man who jumped from a motor vehicle. he presented to an osh ed with bifrontal contusions and l sdh. he was combative and less responsive and was transferred to for further management. he was intubated in the ed. he presented to with a gcs of 12t but was moving all extremities. he was loaded with dilantin and admitted to the icu for further monitoring. repeat ct head on showed subarachnoid hemorrhage overlying the frontal lobes. there was development of vasogenic cerrebral edema over the left frontal lobe at the location of a sdh. there was no brain compression. again noted were non-displaced fractures through the left frontal bone, left temporal bone through the mastoid air cells, and left occipital bone. the patient had encephalopathy due to

lung process without significant interval change since previous examination. correction of central venous line position has been performed. brief hospital course: 1. respiratory failure: pt well-known to pulmonary clinic, has baseline ild/copd with baseline pco2 50. pt was initially started on broad-spectrum antibiotics including zosyn, levo, vanco, azithro, and inhaled tobra for her history of multiple colonies of multi-drug resistent pseudomonas, atypicals, and mrsa (given recent hospitalizations). multiple sputum cultures grew back pseudomonas sensitive to everything but gent, and as she had demonstrated clinical improvement on the zosyn, she was continued on this and everything else was stopped. despite her extremely restrictive lung physiology, she was weaned off the ventilator following diuresis to even i/o's for her icu stay. she was continued on zosyn for 10 days, as well as albuterol/ipratropium nebs, chest pt. she was restarted on mucomyst nebulizers. her respiratory status continued to improve. she was determined to be stable and discharged to pulmonary rehab. * 2. hypotension/sepsis: pt was started on the must protocol for presumed sepsis, which included a negative response to stim test--started on hydrocortisone/fludrocortisone, as well as being started on pressors and intially xigris (although this was discontinued due to a decrease in hct) her blood pressure gradually improved and she was weaned off of pressors. eventually, her blood pressure fully recovered and she was started on an acei and diuresed back to her admission fluid level. she was discharged on all of her pre-admission htn medications. * 3. arf: fena demonstrated a pre-renal etiology, and the cr eventually returned to baseline with ivfs. antibiotics were initially renal-dosed, but with improved renal function, were dosed at full doses. * 4. chf: a repeat echo showed no obvious change from prior one in , ef 40-45%. pt was started on acei and agressively diuresed, upon transfer out of icu her fluid status was negative 600cc. she remained euvolemic by exam. * 5. anemia: underproduction according to ri. fe studies in past c/w chronic disease anemia. repeat hct were stable. * 6. dm2: pt was started on an insulin gtt, which was then changed to a sliding scale with clinical improvement. * 7. code status: pt was kept full code throughout her icu stay. per discussions with the family, should her prognosis change such that she would need to be on a ventilator long term, she may not desire to continue aggressive care. medications on admission: 1.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 77 year old woman with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complaining of shortness of breath and cough beginning . the cough is productive of thick clear sputum. she is not sure if she has a fever. she is home o2 dependent and her baseline exercise tolerance is extremely poor. she reports becoming very dyspneic after walking just ten feet. she was admitted to the medical intensive care unit for observation where she received intravenous solu-medrol and after one day stated that she felt much better. on initial presentation to the emergency department, her o2 saturation was 87% on three liters of o2 with respiratory rate 24 to 28. of note, on room air her baseline o2 saturation is only 81%. past medical history: 1. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease dependent upon oral steroids; spirometry reveals fvc 71%, fev1 34%, and fev1/fvc of 48%. 2. right hip fracture in the past. 3. left hip pain. 4. crohn's disease. 5. chronic anemia, transfusion dependent, probably myelodysplastic syndrome. 6. colonic polyps believed to be causing a chronic lower gastrointestinal bleed, but surgery has been deferred owing to her poor baseline nutritional and pulmonary status. 7. alcoholism: she is currently an active drinker. medications on admission: 1. lasix 20 mg q. day. 2. combivent two puffs q. six hours. 3. prednisone 8 mg p.o. q. day (recently decreased from 10 mg q. day). 4. she has taken flovent in the past but had stopped taking it because of cost. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: smoked two pack per day for 50 years. quit about ten years ago. the patient claims social etoh, although children state that she is an active alcoholic. currently retired. had worked several jobs as a writer earlier in life and in real estate. she lives alone in . two children live nearby and occasionally visit. divorced times three times. review of systems: has one bowel movement q. a.m. reports that her crohn's disease has not caused her problems. complains of easy bruising secondary to taking prednisone and states that she has many bruises on her calves because of collisions with her dog. physical examination: temperature 98.1 f.; blood pressure 124/66; pulse 88; respiratory rate 24; o2 saturation 94% on four liters. in general, cachectic woman in no apparent distress, breathing with retractions, labile, grandiose affect. chest: prolonged expiratory phase with crackles at baseline bilaterally, using accessory muscles prominently. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm, normal s1, s2. no murmur. abdomen soft, nontender, nondistended. positive bowel sounds. extremities with no edema. purpura in lower two-thirds of calves. laboratory: sodium 133, potassium 4.2, chloride 91, co2 32, bun 15, creatinine 0.5. white blood cell count on , , , 30.3, 37.4, 46.8, 39.7. hematocrit 33.1. differential on , neutrophils 68, lymphs 6, monos 25;

mastoid air cells remain normally aerated. the cavernous carotids are calcified. impression: no hemorrhage. cxr impression: patchy bilateral airspace opacities, which is likely related to fluid overload. infection is not excluded. repeat radiography following appropriate diuresis is recommended to assess underlying infection. cxr there is no interval change in perihilar vascular indistinct and extensive patchy opacities involving the entire lungs. this may represent volume overload although widespread infection in appropriate clinical setting cannot be excluded. the absence of pleural effusion somehow questions the diagnosis of pulmonary edema favoring infection but cannot absolutely exclude it. cardiomegaly is present. mediastinum is unremarkable. renal us impression: 1. no evidence of renal obstruction. equivocal non-obstructing tiny stones in the lower pole of the left kidney. 2. abnormal appearance of the bladder, with thickened, irregular wall. further evaluation with ct or mri is recommended. 3. bilateral atrophic kidneys may relate to prior infections or chronic medical renal disease. ct pelvis impression: 1. bladder wall thickening is difficult to evaluate as the bladder is collapsed due to foley catheter. if this is of clinical concern, repeat ultrasound after clamping of foley catheter is recommended. 2. enlarged gallbladder, but given asymptomatic nature, and lack likely due to fasting state. 3. atrophic kidneys, as in the prior studies. 4. bilateral atelectasis, but airspace opacification (aspiration, early infectious consolidation) cannot be

during admission, without dysuria or suprapubic tenderness. he was initially started on ciprofloxacin, however on hospital day 2 urine culture showed e.coli resistant to ciprofloxacin. patient was started on ceftriaxone on . nephrology was consulted, who continued him on his dialysis regimen. they recommended a renal us to rule out obstruction, which was negative for obstruction but showed an abnormal appearing bladder. ct pelvis confirms a thickened bladder wall, though no obstruction. patient continued to have fevers, so vancomycin was added on . chest x-ray showed left lower lobe

bifurcation region with loss of -white matter differentiation in the left insular cortex. small vessel disease and brain atrophy. no hemorrhage. 2. ct perfusion demonstrates large area of ischemia with probable small infarct in the left mca territory. 3. ct angiography of the neck demonstrates mild atherosclerotic disease at the left carotid bifurcation. 4. ct angiography of the head demonstrates likely thrombus at the left middle cerebral artery bifurcation with markedly diminished flow in the superior division and some decrease in flow in the inferior division of the left middle cerebral artery. cerebral angiogram : impression: underwent cerebral angiography and both mechanical and pharmacological thrombectomy of the left middle cerebral artery which was unsuccessful. we were however able to restore fully restore flow to the inferior division which was initially only partially filling. cxr : the et tube is 3.3 cm above the carina. there are bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right, with bilateral lower lobe volume loss. given dense retrocardiac opacity, an infiltrate in this region cannot be excluded. there is pulmonary vascular re-distribution and alveolar infiltrates. the overall impression is that of chf that has worsened in the interval. ct head : impression: unchanged loss of -white matter differentiation along the left insula, in keeping with known acute left mca-territory ischemia. mri brain : impression: acute infarct in the left mca distribution. in addition, there are multiple tiny foci of slow diffusion in bilateral cerebral hemispheres and the right cerebellum consistent with embolic infarcts. cxr : findings: compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. the endotracheal tube and the other monitoring and support devices are constant. pre-existing pleural effusions have minimally decreased in extent, so that the lung parenchyma has increased in transparency. however, bilateral pleural effusions are still present. unchanged signs of mild-to-moderate pulmonary edema and bilateral basal areas of atelectasis. mild cardiomegaly persists. no newly appeared parenchymal opacities. no pneumothorax. lue us : impression: no evidence of deep vein thrombosis in the left upper extremity deep veins. video swallow : impression: gross aspiration with nectar and thin liquids, with most being silent. for full details, please see the speech and swallow division note in omr. ct abd/pelvis : impression: 1. normal anatomic course of the stomach without colonic interposition. 2. moderate-to-severe atherosclerosis. cxr : impression: ap chest compared to through : tip of the new right pic line lies in the right brachiocephalic vein at or just before its junction with the left. right internal jugular line ends low in the svc, feeding tube ends in the stomach. lung volumes have improved since and previous mild pulmonary edema is receding. left lower lobe atelectasis has improved substantially. small bilateral pleural effusions have not changed much. mild cardiomegaly stable. no pneumothorax. brief hospital course: 77 yo woman with hx of htn, hl, paroxysmal a fib, cad s/p cabg 9 days pta who presented as a code stroke with dense r sided weakness and global aphasia. initial ct relatively unremarkable with subtle hypodensities in l mca distribution but ctp showed large perfusion deficit. not a candidate for iv tpa due to recent cabg. neurointervention was attempted toward end of time window with partial recanalization of the l mca inferior division. she was admitted to the neuro icu for post-intervention care. . # neuro: she remained stable s/p intervention. repeat head ct was stable. she was started on a heparin drip for anticoagulation. subsequent mri showed a large l mca territory infarct in addition to several small scattered infarcts (r cerebellum, r corona radiata). bp was allowed to autoregulate. she was continued on atorvastatin 10mg. lipid panel revealed ldl of 12, hba1c was 6.0%. her exam remained stable with global aphasia and dense r sided weakness. she did improve her level of alertness throughout this admission, but remained non-verbal. . # cardiovascular: she was maintained on tele monitoring. bp was allowed to autoregulate with goal sbp 120-180. she had several episodes of a fib with rvr and was started on an amiodarone drip with resolution. she was transitioned to amiodarone 400mg and metoprolol 25mg with good rate control. she was continued on atorvastatin 10mg daily. later in her hospital course she was transitioned to amiodarone 400mg qd and then 200mg qd. her outpatient cardiologist was contact and he recommended that she remain on 200mg qd until she sees him as an outpatient at which point he may then stop it. . # pulmonary: she was successfully extubated on and weaned to nasal cannula. she received a few doses of lasix due to concerns for pulmonary edema and was subsequently started on 20mg iv bid, which was then changed to 20mg iv qd and then switched back to 20mg po bid once she had her peg in place. . # infectious disease: she remained afebrile, but with a fluctuating leukocytosis up to 22. cxr showed evidence of volume overload but no focal infiltrates. ua was mildly positive but cx grew yeast. her foley was exchanged and a repeat ucx was negative for growth. her leukocytosis gradually began to trend down without intervention, but then increased again. she then spiked a fever and her cxr showed an infiltrate, so she was started on vanc and zosyn on for a presumed ventilator associate pna with plans to complete an 8 day course on the morning of . . # endo she was maintained on fingersticks and iss with a goal of euglycemia. hba1c was 6.0%. . # fen: a dobhoff was placed and she was stated on tube feeds. a swallow eval was performed on and she failed, so therefore a peg was placed on without complication. she was restarted successfully on tube feeds thereafter. . # prophylaxis: she was maintained on a heparin gtt and pneumoboots for dvt prophylaxis now with a planned bridge to coumadin, goal inr . she was maintianed on famotidine and a bowel regimen for gi prophylaxis. fall and aspiration precautions were maintained. . # code: she was initially full code upon admission but after discussion with her family she was made dnr but not dni. ok to reintubate if necessary but no

cells. lymphocytes, monocytes, and red blood cells. eeg this is an abnormal routine eeg obtained in stage ii sleep progressing to stage iii sleep with brief periods of wakefulness due to the presence of sharp and spikes bifrontally, left more than right. in addition, the patient is excessively drowsy and sleepy. this finding could either be due to a previous sleep deprivation or could be a medication overdose effect. this can be seen in context of high blood levels of antihistamines, albuterol. no seizure activity recorded. brief hospital course: 47 y/o aaf with pmh significant for hiv, hepatitis c, cirrhosis, type ii dm, htn, and most recent hospitalization for subacute renal failure (dm nephropathy +/- iga nephropathy), presents with altered mental status. 1. mental status changes while her initial mental status changes were thought to be due to hypoglycemia (glucose on admission was 36), the differential regarding this remains broad. acyclovir and levofloxacin, as well as sedatives she was given in the icu may have contributed to her ms given her poor renal and hepatic clearance (propofol, d/c on ; morphine, dosed 2mg on , and ?amt on ). she was also found to have aspiration pneumonia, which also may have aggrevated her mental status. initially, following transfer from the icu, her mental status improved and was thought to be secondary to medications over her stay . hepatic encephalopathy is still a possibility, with her elevated ammonia (84 umol/l), but was not encephalopathic during previous hospital stay and did not receive lactulose at that time; she received lactulose throughout this admission. similarly, uremic encephalopathy was also considered although her bun today was 70, and at prior admission, she was not encephalopathic though in arf with elevated bun/cr. delirium tremens was also considered, however her history and speaking with her family speaks against this. her family states that she did not drink from the time she was discharged to her admission. the time frame was off given her stay in the micu for delerium tremens, and her symptoms were not consistent with this. in addition, a ppd was planted and read as negative on . finally, an htlv1/2 was found to be negative, suggesting her high cd4 count of >1000 did represent true immunocompentency, as htlv1/2 infection can give a false impression of a high cd4 count. two lps failed to reveal a cause for her change in ms, such as active meningitis, thus nondiagnostic. at discharge, crypto was negative but jcv, cmv, and toxo were pending. at discharge, the patient was afebrile, her renal biopsy site was resolving well, her wbc on was 11.2, and she was alert, oriented to person, place and time, and appropriate. . 2. hypovolemic hypernatremia over the course of her admission, the patient had a gradually rising sodium, which peaked at 151 on . this was likely iatrogenic and resolved when she was removed from restraints and put on clears. her sodium normalized at discharge to 137. . 3. ?holosystolic/?outflow tract heart murmur when the patient was hypovolemic, she was found to have a systolic murmur, heard best in the l upper sternal border. prior echo () and repeat echo () revealed no valvular abnormalities, no vegetations. the murmur was judged to be an outflow tract murmur, given the patient's low volume status. the murmur was no longer present on exam at discharge on . . 4. pneumonia: on admission, the patient was intubated in ed for airway protection. she was extubated after her mri but then became hypercarbic likely secondary to volume overload. the patient was diuresed and placed on bipap for one day. upon transfer from the icu, she continued to be stable on room air but was running a low grade fever and did have a chest xray consistent with rll aspiration pneumonia with possible lul pneumonia. she was placed on levofloxacin/flagyl. a repeat cxr on showed improvement in the rll consolidation. given her mental status changes, she was switched from levofloxacin to clindamycin for the final two days of her course. at discharge, she was afebrile and her lung exam was clear to ascultation. . 5. possible seizure: the patient's initial presentation on admission was consistent with a seizure (lateral eye deviation, stool/urine incontinence). the differential diagnosis considered in a patient with hiv, hepc, cirrhosis and dm2 was broad and included hypoglycemia, hepatic encephalopathy, renal encephalopathy, hiv-associated encephalopathy (20% of hiv encephalopathy is first presentation of symptomatic disease), toxins, withdrawal (given her polysubstance abuse), malignancy (lymphoma or primary or secondary tumor) vasculitidites (mixed cryos, microscopic polyarteritis, primary cns vasculitis), hemmorhagic stroke, or oi with hiv (including toxo, crypto, tuberculosis, listeria, pml). her mri/mra showed an increase in t2 signal in periventricular and subcortical white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. these findings were nonspecific but consistent with infection, chronic microvascular disease, or demyelinating disease. hypoglycemia, given the boyfriend's history, was considered most likely. alcohol withdrawal may have also precipitated the initial event or the hypoglycemia, but was considered less likely given her recent hospital stay. hepatic or uremic encephalopathy are still possibilities (given mri findings) but may be contributing to her ongoing mental status changes more than precipitating her acute event. the mri showed no mass effect or bleed, ruling out tumor or hemmorhagic stroke. her cd4 count remains high at +1000 (despite her high viral load of 916,000) making hiv encephalopathy still a possibility but any oi unlikely. an eeg during admission was consistent with no epileptiform activity. she was found to be hsv negative on , ppd negative on , htlv1/2 negative on , and crypto negative on . two lps, on and , were negative for polys and microorganisms on gram stain. tte on and showed no vegetiations, with the remainder of the study normal. jcv, cmv and toxo from lp were pending at the time of discharge. . 6. hip/flank pain most likely secondary to hematoma following renal biopsy, visualized on abdominal ct () as 2.7 by 4.8 cm lesion. per id's recommendation, a unilateral hip x-ray was conducted on and showed no evidence of osteomyeolitis. . 7. leukocytosis the patient was started on levofloxacin/flagyl on for rll infiltrate seen on cxr and increasing wbc (see above). the levofloxacin was switched to clindamycin for the 2 remaining days of the course. . 8. renal failure recent progression of cr from 1 to 5 with evidence of nephrotic syndrome. creatinine on discharge was 3.2. pathology from renal biopsy consistent with diabetic nephropathy and possibly iga nephropathy. . 9. hypertension the patient's hypertension was well-controlled over admission. she maintained on metroprolol 37.5 mg po tid, lisinopril 5mg po daily, and restarted on her furosemide 40mg on discharge. . 10. non-ag metabolic acidosis etiologies include diarrhea, type i or type iv rta (given positive uag), renal failure. the patient's acidosis was stable over the course of this and last admission. . 11. diarrhea c. diff negative, judged likely related to hiv . 12. anemia during her last admission, the patient's anemia and iron studies were consistent with anemia of chronic disease. her hematocrit was stable over this admission and discharged at 26.5%. . 13. thrombocytopenia over course of prior admission found to be ttp/hus negative. most likely secondary to liver disease. currently stable and discharged with platelet count of 68. . 14. hep c cirrhosis her ammonia level was found to be 84 on but fell to 40 on . she received lactulose over the course of her admission. hepatic encephalopathy may have been contributing to patient's change in mental status, however she was not receiving lactulose during her entire previous admission, and was not encephalopathic therefore unlikely casue of her delta ms. . 15. code: full code medications on admission: 1) quinine 650 mg po qhs prn 2) reglan 10 mg po bid 3) albuterol 2 puffs q6h prn 4)

represents a fat pad. impression: global left ventricular cardiomyopathy. moderate diastolic dysfunction with elevated filling pressures. mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. mild pulmonary hypertension. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the severity of mitral regurgitation has increased. estimated pulmonary artery pressures are elevated (previously undetermined). eeg (): abnormal portable eeg due to the slow and disorganized background. this indicates a widespread encephalopathy. medications, metabolic disturbances, and infection are among the most common causes. there were no prominent focal abnormalities, but encephalopathies may obscure focal findings. there were no epileptiform features. the background was not at all flat or markedly suppressed, findings that might be associated with continued propofol use or with a severe anoxic encephalopathy. those are still possible causes of the encephalopathy, but they are less likely, and the eeg is not strongly suggestive of them. mri head (): the flair and t2 as well as diffusion images demonstrate increased signal in both thalami. there is no evidence of restricted diffusion seen without evidence of abnormalities on the adc map. these findings could be indicative of subacute changes of hypoxia. bilateral chronic lacunes identified. changes of small vessel disease are seen in the pons and in the periventricular region. there is moderate ventriculomegaly without significant sulcal prominence. there are no chronic blood products seen. impression: signal changes bilaterally in the thalami without evidence of restricted diffusion are likely due to subacute changes from hypoxic event. moderate ventriculomegaly is seen. no mass effect or signs of herniation seen. mild mucosal thickening in the sinuses. shoulder x-ray (): single view of the right shoulder shows no fracture, dislocation, or subluxation of the shoulder and the adjacent ribs are intact. brief hospital course: 64f with female with dm, htn, and history of idiopathic cardiomyopathy presenting on transfer after vfib arrest. # ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest: the patient received 4 shocks in the field and was in sinus rhythm at the osh. here she remaiend in sinus rhythm without further arrhythmia. her carvedilol was increased to 25 mg po bid. after her other medical issues improved (as below) she had a dual chamber icd placed on . she received 1 mg iv vanc and 1 gm cefazolin prior to placement and will need to complete three days of cefalexin for to prevent infection post placement. she has a follow up appointment scheduled with the device clinic. # neurologic function: the patient suffered a cardiac arrest and was initally intubated on transfer. she was extubated after 9 days on the ventilator and one failed extubation attempt earlier in the hospital stay. while on the ventilator and after extubation she initally has some agitation, but this decreased as her mental status cleared and she continued to gain neurologic function. she has been working with pt, ot, and speech therapy. she has been getting 1 mg po haldol at night to decrease nighttime agitation, and 0.5 mg po ativan for insomnia if she cannot sleep after the haldol. as she improves, this can likely be stopped. she will follow up with dr. as an outpatient. # chronic systolic and diastolic heart failure: the patient has a history of idiopathic cardiomyopathy with an ef of 30%. per her pcp she has class ii heart failure. she underwent a tte which showed an ef of 30% and global left ventricular cardiomyopathy with moderate diastolic dysfunction with elevated filling pressures, mild to moderate mitral regurgitation, and mild pulmonary hypertension. her losartan was increased to 100 mg daily. her carvediolol was increased to 25 mg po bid. she was continued on her home dose of lasix at 20 mg daily as she did not appear to volume overloaded. # hypertension: the patient's sbps were found to be elvated so her carvedilol was increased to 25 mg po bid and her losartan was increased to 100 mg daily. she was continued on lasix 20 mg daily. prior to discharge her sbp ranged from 130's to 150's. # anemia: the patient has known iron deficiency anemia; she had recieved one unit of prbc at osh. her hct ranged from 24.3 to 28.8 and she did not receive further tansfusion here as she was not having active ischemia. her hct on discharge was 28.2. # pneumonia/pulmonary: the patient had a leukocytosis on admission of 13.0. she had blood cultures and urine cultures which were negative. her cxr showed a possible lll infiltrate. a sputum culture from showed enterobacter cloacae and klebsiella oxytoca which was sensitive to ceftriaxone. while the culture and sensitivities were pending she was treated with zosyn (she had been started on this at the osh on ) until when she was switched to ceftriaxone to complete a 10 day course of antibiotic therapy for a pneumonia. the patient suffered a cardiac arrest and was initally intubated on transfer. she was extubated after 9 days on the ventilator and one failed extubation attempt earlier in the hospital stay. it was thought that her inital failure to tolerate extubation was due to a combination of the pneumonia, her mental status, and her copious secretions. she was given a scopolamine patch to decrease her secretions and as her pneumonia was treated and her mental status improved she was able to tolerate extubation. # diabetes: the patient is on januvia and metformin as an outpatient. during her hospitalization these medications were held. she had qid finger sticks for monitoring of her blood glucose and was covered with sliding scale insulin. by the end of her stay she was eating more and her sugars were higher so she was restarted on her januvia and metformin at discharge. medications on admission: medications (home): 1. coreg 3.125 2. cozaar 50mg daily 3. lasix 20mg daily 4. potassium 10meq daily 5. januvia 50mg

comments: 1. coronary angiography in this right dominant system demonstrated two vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca was patent. the lad had a 70% mid vessel stenosis. the first diagonal branch had an ostial 70%. the lcx had an 80% eccentric lesion that wasn't ammenable to pci. the rca was non-obstructed with a mild amount of proximal plaque with a possibe non-flow limiting chronic dissection in the proximal portion of the vessel. 2. limited resting hemodynamics reveal elevated left sided filling pressures with an lvedp of 17mm hg. systemic pressures were normal. 3. left ventriculography demonstrated an ejection fraction of 65% with no wall motion abnormality. final diagnosis: 1. three vessel coronary artery disease. 2. normal ejection fraction. 3. moderately elevated left sided filling pressure. cxr : no previous images. cardiac silhouette is within normal limits and there is no evidence of vascular congestion, pleural effusion, or acute focal pneumonia. opacification in the supraclavicular region on the right medially could be an artifact or represent some area of calcification. intra-op tee conclusions pre-cpb: no spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the left atrial appendage. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are complex (>4mm) atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are moderately thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are moderately thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is no pericardial effusion. post-cpb: the patient is av-paced, on no inotropes. preserved biventricular systolic fxn. aorta intact. trace mr,

starting on . she initially was doing well, chest pain free. however on she started developing chest pain after going to the bathroom, ekg unchanged. on she developed chest pain at rest, ekg with st depressions in lateral leads. this pain was responsive immediately to nitro 0.4mg sl x1, and a heparin gtt was started. she went for cabg on #### . # acidosis: pt persistently has low bicarb, ~16-18. abg on showed 7.26/39/76/18. this represents a mixed metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis. differential for non-ag metabolic acidosis is gi losses of hco3- (possible, given 18" colon resected for villous adenoma, when this issue arose, and has chronic watery diarrhea as a result), renal tubular acidosis (potential), early renal failure (less likely as gfr is in 30's). urine anion gap is +17, which suggests a failure of kidneys to excrete nh4+, as opposed to bicarb losses. suggests type i or iv rta. persistent hyperkalemia suggests type iv, as type i usually has hypokalemia. also fehco3- is <5%, which also supports type iv rta. renin/aldosterone levels were sent which showed #####. she was started on sodium bicarb 325mg po bid, which improved her serum bicarb. prior to surgery, she was infused 1l d5w with 150meq nahco3. if truly type 4 rta, may benefit from fludrocortisone in the future. . # acute on chronic kidney injury: baseline creatinine 1.4, briefly up to 1.7

study. recommend ultrasound examination on an outpatient basis. 2) bilateral adrenal adenomas. to be further worked-up in outpatient setting. # surgical course: pulmonary was consulted preoperatively for elevated aa gradient. there were no recommendations for further testing or treatment. the patient was brought to the operating room on where the patient underwent cabg x 3 with dr. . overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively was transferred to the cvicu in stable condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. she was initially a-paced with no spontaneous rhythm out of the or. pod 1 found the patient extubated, alert and oriented and breathing comfortably. the patient was neurologically intact. she remained in the cvicu a few days for hemodynamic support. hemodynamics stabilized and rhythm recovered to sinus. she did require supplemental oxygen for several days post-operatively. beta blocker was initiated and the patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. renal was consulted for history of renal insufficiency. diuretics and nephrotoxins were minimized. the patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for further recovery. chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without complication. the patient was evaluated by the physical therapy service for assistance with strength and mobility. by the time of discharge on pod 7 the patient was ambulating with assistance, the wound was healing and pain was controlled with oral analgesics. the patient was discharged to , in good condition with appropriate follow up

: conclusion: no evidence of renal abnormalities. large volume of ascites noted. abdominal ct: impression: 1. increased size of bilateral simple pleural effusions with increased bibasilar dependent atelectatic changes. 2. large volume abdominal pelvic ascites which appears grossly stable. 3. evaluation of bowel loops is limited by lack of iv and oral contrast. given this limitation, there is no evidence for obstruction or bowel perforation. 4. shrunken liver with nodular contour. status post cholecystectomy. 5. 4mm left pulmonary nodule. per fleichner society guidelines, recommend month follow up chest ct if patient has risk factors for pulmonary malignancy. abdominal ct: impression: 1. unchanged bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis. 2. nodular, cirrhotic liver with no focal lesions on this single-phase study. there is again moderate ascites, with large gastric varices. 3. normal appearance of intra-abdominal loops of small and large bowel. no evidence for colitis or enteritis. 4. diffuse superficial soft tissue induration, consistent with cellulitis. there is no air in the soft tissues to suggest a more aggressive process such as necrotizing fasciitis, although this cannot be excluded by imaging. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to the intensive care unit and underwent vigorous fluid resuscitation and maintained on iv flagyl and po vancomycin. he was seen by the infectious disease service for further input in the treatment of his prolonged c diff colitis and they recommended continued treatment with flagyl and vancomycin plus stopping any narcotics as he was at a high risk of developing toxic megacolon. his initial blood and urine cultures were negative and stool for c diff was positive. his blood pressure improved with fluids and he did not require any pressor support. vancomycin retention enemas were added for persistent diarrhea and he underwent serial abdominal ct's to assess any colonic changes. his abdominal exam over 3-4 days showed mild lower abdominal tenderness and mild distention therefore continued conservative non operative treatment with antibiotics was planned. due to his prolonged period of poor nutrition/npo, hyperalimentation was started on and eventually he had a picc line placed in the left antecubital on for tpn and antibiotics. of note, mr. platelet count gradually decreased since his admission from 130k to a low of 49k. his hit was negative and sra is still pending. the hematology service was consulted and felt that it was multifactorial including secondary to cirrhosis, sepsis and anemia of chronic disease. heparin was not contraindicated and over the course of his hospitalization his platelet count gradually increased to the 90k range. transfer to the floor occured on and lasix was started to try to help with fluid mobilization. his pe showed + peripheral edema as well as scrotal edema and some ascites. he was treated with lasix on a prn basis and his bun/cr remained stable (22/0.5). a superficial abdominal cellulitis was noted on beginning on both flank areas and extending to the lower abdomen with no connection to his sacral decubitus. he was started on broad coverage antibiotics including vancomycin and zosyn without improvement. he was subsequently changed to daptomycin, ciprofloxicin and flagyl with some improvement. due to the addition of broad spectrum antibiotics his oral vancomycin was increased to qid. he had no evidence of diarrhea and no change in his abdominal exam. recommendations from the infectious disease service recommends cipro/flagyl/ dapto until (10 days total). pt c diff colitis has responded well to po vanco. pt will continue on 125 until when 125 tidx7d, 125 bidx7d, 125 qdx7d, 125 qodx7d, 125 q3dx14d. the neurology service was consulted during this admission for evaluation of his bilateral hand tremors which seemed a bit worse. although parkinson's disease could not be ruled out his current situation precluded a definite assessment and they recommended an out patient follow up with dr.. his depakote continues at his home dose with a level of 53. a speech and swallow evaluation was also done to assess the ongoing question od possible aspiration. his baseline diet was ground solids however over the last week he was tolerating nectar thick liquids and pureed with no evidense of aspirating. he remains on tpn while his diet is being slowly advanced. continue on nector thickness liquids and tpn until cleared to advance, with one to one supervision. mr also impaired skin integrity on his r

phenyto-15.1 labs on discharge: xxxxxxxxxxx ------------------- imaging: ------------------- head ct : findings: there is a right crescentic hyper-attenuating area layering over the convexity, likely a subdural hematoma. at the level of the lateral ventricles superiorly (series 2, image 19), it measures approximately 1.5 cm, similar to the study from approximately three hours prior. again, there is effacement of the right lateral ventricle with leftward midline shift of approximately 7 mm, similar to prior. no new focus of intracranial hemorrhage is seen. some of the subdural extends into the parafalcine area on the right. there is mild edema, and the ventricles, sulci, and cisterns appear similar to prior. basal cisterns are preserved. there is no depressed skull fracture. mastoid air cells and visualized paranasal sinuses are unremarkable. scleral plaques are seen. impression: stable appearance to right convexity subdural hematoma with unchanged leftward midline shift. head ct (post-op): findings: the patient is status post right-sided craniectomy for evacuation of a large right-sided subdural hematoma. most of this hematoma has been evacuated although residual amount of hemorrhage is seen overlying the right frontal lobe. there is extensive pneumocephalus extending along the right hemisphere and also over the left frontal lobe in addition to the right anterior temporal lobe. a small focus of air is also seen anterior to the left temporal lobe. there is still a mild leftward shift of midline structures of 4 mm, decreased from 7 mm. no intraparenchymal hemorrhage is seen. -white matter differentiation is preserved. visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells remain clear. impression: status post right-sided craniectomy for evacuation of subdural hematoma. small amount of hemorrhage remains overlying the right frontal lobe and right occipital lobe. decrease in leftward shift of midline structures, now 4 mm down from 7 mm. cxr : impression: satisfactory placement of a new right central venous catheter with no pneumothorax. stable small right pleural effusion and left lower lobe atelectasis. cxr : the dobbhoff tube tip continues to be in proximal stomach. the pacemaker leads terminate in right ventricle. the right subclavian line tip is at the level of cavoatrial junction. cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged including mild cardiomegaly. bibasal atelectasis and bilateral pleural effusions are unchanged. no overt infection is present. loose bodies are demonstrated in the right glenohumeral joint. rt foot : findings: there is a comminuted, slightly angulated fracture of the proximal phalanx of the fourth digit. the proximal phalanx of the fifth digit is not well seen and the possibility of a fracture in this region cannot be unequivocally excluded. brief hospital course: #) course with neurosurgery: patient is a f who was transferred to after osh imaging revealed a right sided acute sdh. this finding was likely resultant from a fall that the family reports occurred one week prior to admission. the family was extensively counseled, and elected for decompressive craniotomy and evacuation of blood products. she went to the or on the evening of . procedure was uneventful, and she was returned to the icu post-operatively. on , aspirin was started given her history of cad with stend and pacemaker placement. cxr imaging performed in the emergency department revealed a consolidation consitent with a likely pneumonia and antibiotics were started. on bronchoscopy was performed for confirmation and gnr were isolated. she was continued on ceftriaxone for this purpose. on she was sucessfully extubated. she was requiring oxygen. on her right lateral foot and 4th digit was noted to be ecchymotic and exquisitely tender. x-ray imaging revealed a comminuted, slightly angulated fracture of the proximal phalanx of the fourth digit. transfer orders for the step down unit were performed. . on transfer to medicine service: . #) altered mental status: since her evacuation, patient had a difficult time waking up, and arrived to us with sluggishly reactive pupils, periodically spontaneously opening her eyes, withdrawing to pain and moving all four extremities. her mental status was complicated by hypernatremia, hypoxia related to volume overload and possible infection, in addition to her recent sdh and midline shift. as her hypernatremia corrected, her mental status initially improved after a few days, then she again became more unresponsive, not opening her eyes spontaneously and having more difficulty supporting herself in bed. . #) hypoxia: throughout her stay on the medicine service, patient had a perisistent tachypneia and oxygen requirement. initially, her chest x-ray showed severe pulmonary edema and large bilateral pulmonary effusions, which improved with iv diuresis, however the effusions remained and her oxygen requirement also did not improve. an echocardiogram was done earlier in her hospital course, which showed right sided heart strain, and concern for pe, however given recent sdh, patient would not be anticoagulated, so no further imaging was obtained. patient had also had a persistent leukocytosis, and given the coarse breath sounds on pulmonary exam, she was started on levaquin for presumed pnuemonia. she had been receiving nebulizer treatments, and morphine to help with her tachypneia during her stay. . #) hypernatremia: patient initially had a sodium of 155, daily free water deficits were calculated and free water was repleted via her dobhoff tube, once her sodium normalized, her mental status did not improve with correction of her sodium. . #) goals of care: on transfer of care to medicine palliative care had been consulted, and it was clear that the goals of care from the daughter's point of view were comfort oriented. as the patient's mental status improved and then deteriorated again, we had a family meeting where the decision was made on to make the patient comfort measures only, and she was started on a morphine drip with ativan, and passed away at 0520 on . medications on admission: amlodipine 5mg qd aricept 5mg qd asa

informed consent was obtained from the patient and the patient's family after explaining the risks, indications, and alternative management. risks explained included bleeding, hemorrhage, stroke, loss of vision and/or speech, injury to blood vessels and/or nerves, allergic reaction to contrast material, renal failure, and death. additionally possible use of embolization coils if needed was discussed. the patient was brought to the interventional neuroradiology suite and placed on the biplane table in the supine position. prior to the start of the procedure, a timeout was performed to verify the patient's identity using two patient identifiers and the procedure to be performed. both groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. general anesthesia was provided by the anesthesiology service. access to the right common femoral artery was obtained using a 19-gauge single-wall needle, under local anesthesia using 1% lidocaine mixed with sodium bicarbonate with aseptic precautions. through the needle, a 0.35 wire was introduced and the needle was taken out. over the wire, a 5-french vascular sheath was placed and connected to a saline infusion (mixed with heparin 500 units and 500 cc of saline) with a continuous drip. through the sheath, a 4 french berenstein catheter was introduced and connected to the continuous saline infusion (with heparin mixture: 1000 units of heparin and 1000 cc saline). the following vessels were selectively catheterized and arteriograms were performed from these locations. after review of the study, the catheter and the sheath were withdrawn and pressure was applied on the groin until hemostasis was achieved. the procedure was uneventful and the patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate post-procedure related

resection. comparison: . technique: non-contrast head ct scan. findings: patient is status post resection of previously seen large bifrontal extra-axial mass. large amount of expected post-surgical pneumocephalus seen in the bifrontal region. heterogeneous appearance in the resection bed is seen, with high-density material consistent with acute blood in the resection bed. scattered foci of gas also seen in the resection bed. hypodensity again seen in this region consistent with edema. configuration of the ventricles appears relatively unchanged. no new hydrocephalus. second calcified extra-axial mass along the lateral aspect of the left frontal lobe appears unchanged from prior. high-density material now also seen within the nasopharynx. bone windows demonstrate frontal craniotomy defects and post-surgical hardware. subcutaneous emphysema noted with multiple staples in the frontal scalp. minimal mucosal thickening seen within the ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. impression: 1. status post resection of previously seen large bifrontal extra-axial mass, with expected pneumocephalus. heterogeneous appearance of the resection bed, with multiple pockets of gas and high density material consistent with blood in the resection bed. 2. unchanged appearance of calcified left meningioma. 3. high-density material is seen within the nasopharynx consistent with blood. clinical correlation recommended. findings were discussed with dr. at 10:45 p.m., . the study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist. dr. . dr. . approved: 10:18 am radiology final report portable abdomen 12:07 pm portable abdomen reason: eval for dilated loops medical condition: 77 year old woman s/p craniotomy s/p dobhoff pneumonia, now w/ b/l rhonci, distended abdomen reason for this examination: eval for dilated loops history: abdominal distention. single supine radiograph of the abdomen demonstrates air and stool projecting over a normal caliber rectum. small amount of air and stool are seen along the descending colon as well. multiple loops of normal caliber air-distended small bowel are seen to collect in the middle of the abdomen. there is a featureless collection of air within a viscus projecting over the epigastrium. given the presence of the patient's dobbhoff tube on chest radiographs both prior and subsequent to this study the finding does not represent the stomach. impression: nonspecific bowel gas pattern. a single collection of air within a viscus projecting over the upper mid abdomen is unlikely to represent the stomach. close clinical followup is requested. dr. approved: sat 12:24 am radiology final report ct head w/o contrast 7:43 am ct head w/o contrast reason: assess for herniation, progression of lesion medical condition: 77 year old woman with large meningioma, now more somnolent, with dilated left pupil reason for this examination: assess for herniation, progression of lesion contraindications for iv contrast: none. indication: 77-year-old female with large meningioma with dilated left pupil, assess for herniation. comparison: . technique: non-contrast head ct scan. findings: again seen is a large calcified left frontal parietal mass previously described as a meningioma. hyperdensity at the anterior medial aspects is consistent with hemorrhage and is unchanged. vasogenic edema has increased resulting in increased rightward subfalcine herniation, now 6 mm and compression of the left lateral ventricle. suprasellar cistern is effaced and there is mild compression on the brainstem indicating transtentorial herniation. fourth ventricle is largely similar in appearance. patient is status post bifrontal craniotomy with small amount of expected pneumocephalus and extraaxial fluid, which represents hemorrhage. evolving intraparenchymal hemorrhage with associated edema and local sulcal effacement is seen in the bifrontal lobes anteriorly. impression: 1. increased mass effect from vasogenic edema and hemorrhage surrounding calcified left frontal parietal meningioma has resulted in an increased rightward subfalcine herniation and compression on the left lateral ventricle and near complete effacement of the suprasellar cistern resulting in new transtentorial herniation. there may be mild compression of the brainstem. these findings were discussed with dr. on , at 9:35 a.m. the study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist. dr. dr. approved: sat 12:16 pm neurophysiology report eeg study date of object: hx of meningioma with altered mental status. evaluate for seizures. referring doctor: dr. findings: abnormality #1: throughout the recording there is persistent mixed frequency theta and delta frequency slowing seen over the right frontal and central regions. abnormality #2: there is some voltage asymmetry between the two hemispheres with decreased voltage noted over the left anterior quadrant. abnormality #3: throughout the recording the background rhythm is slow typically in the 6 hz frequency range slightly disorganized and poorly reactive. abnormality #4: intermixed with the already slow and disorganized background are brief intermittent bursts of moderate amplitude mixed frequency slowing. background: as above. hyperventilation: could not be performed as this was a portable study. intermittent photic stimulation: could not be performed as this was a portable study. sleep: there were no clear transitions or change in state noted. cardiac monitor: showed a generally regular rhythm with an average rate of 78 bpm. impression: this is an abnormal portable eeg due to persistent focal slowing in the right fronto-central region suggestive of an area of underlying subcortical dysfunction. in addition, there was a voltage asymmetry of decreased amplitudes noted over the left anterior quadrant suggestive of a structural or destructive process in that region. the background rhythm was also slow, disorganized, and poorly reactive with admixed bursts of generalized mixed frequency slowing suggestive of a mild global diffuse encephalopathy. this suggests ongoing bilateral subcortical or deeper midline dysfunction. medications, metabolic disturbances, infection, and anoxia are among the most common causes of encephalopathy but there are others. there were no clearly epileptiform discharges and no electrographic seizures were seen. interpreted by: , l.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: ciprofloxacin attending: chief complaint: elective spinal surgery major surgical or invasive procedure: spinal surgery x2 endotracheal intubation history of present illness: (history gathered from notes as patient is unable to give a history due to delerium). this is a 47-year-old gentleman with hepatitis c, chronic low back pain, migraines, gerd, who was admitted for elective spinal surgery for chronic low back pain, had his first procedure on (anterior approach) and is supposed to go back to surgery tomorrow for the posterior approach. on admission, patient admitted to drinking vodka drinks per day. he was put on a ciwa scale and started to become confused and aggitated on (presumably approx 24-48 hours after his last drink). he was given 1mg iv ativan x 3 on and progressively became worse today. was given 6 iv ativan between 6 am and 2pm, then 2mg iv haldol at 2pm and 4pm and 10mg po diazepam at 17:00. his ciwa has been between 10 an 16. . on eval, the patient is tachycardic, delerius- thought he was on a street, was constantly trying to get out of bed. he was given another 10mg po diazepam without effect. he then had a code purple called due to grabbing a nurse. he was given 10mg iv valium and put in 4 point restraints and the micu was called. past medical history: 1. chronic low back pain. 2. chronic hepatitis c.-of note the patient had ast/alt elevation 219/115 in . 3. migraines. 4. gerd. 5. tobacco abuse. 6. herpes simplex virus manifest as cold sores on lips. social history: the patient works as a house painter, but has recently found it difficult to get work. the patient lives in with his girlfriend with whom he has a monogamous relationship. the patient has smoked one pack a day tobacco for 20 years. he quit tobacco "cold " last year for about three months. however, he has since resumed smoking. the patient also drinks about glasses of beer or hard liquor per night. the patient is hesitant to cut down his alcohol use even though he knows it is not good for his liver. the patient used to use cocaine and believes that he contracted hepatitis c from "sharing straws." family history: dad died of pancreatic cancer 11 years ago. mother with hypertension and colitis. the patient denies any other history of cancer in the family or history of diabetes, high cholesterol or heart disease. the patient has five brothers and sisters who are in good health. physical exam: gen: lying in bed, asking me to leave. heent: sclera anicteric. perrl. neck: supple, jvp not elevated. cv: tachycardic, no murmur. chest: resp were

compared to the previous tracing of heart rate is significantly faster. cxr: as compared to the previous examination, the lung volumes have minimally decreased. as a consequence, the basal aspect of the lung is slightly denser than before. although this leads to the visualization of air bronchograms in the retrocardiac lung areas, there is no safe evidence for the presence of pneumonia or aspiration. no overhydration. no pleural effusions. normal aspect of the hila and the mediastinum. ct l-spine: status post anterior lumbar instrumentation and anterior fusion from l4 through s1 levels as described in detail above. the alignment and configuration of the lumbar vertebral bodies are maintained with no evidence of spondylolisthesis or distraction. there is no evidence of loosening of the orthopedic hardware, allograft bone material is noted anterior to the vertebral body at l4/l5 and l5/s1. no fluid collections or hematomas are detected. cxr: et tube is in the standard position. ng tube tip is in the stomach. cardiac size is top normal. left perihilar opacities have minimally increased. attention should be paid in these area to exclude a developing infectious process. the retrocardiac atelectasis has improved. the left lateral cp angle was not included on the film. there is no evidence of pneumothorax or enlarging pleural effusions. cxr: 1. right-sided picc tip projects over the distal svc with no pneumothorax. 2. no interval change since prior chest radiograph on the same day. cxr: findings: in comparison with the study of , there is some poorly defined areas of increased opacification at the bases. it is unclear whether this could represent some atelectatic change or early elevation of pulmonary venous pressure, or be a manifestation of developing bilateral consolidations as suggested by the clinical history. discharge labs: complete blood count wbc rbc hgb hct mcv mch mchc rdw plt ct 06:45am 10.9 3.40* 11.0* 31.6* 93 32.5* 34.9 13.5 674* renal

migraine admitted for elective spinal surgery who became acutely agitated likely etoh withdrawal post-surgery. #. delirium/altered mental status: the patient was believed to be in acute alcohol withdrawal, given the timing of the onset of his delirium, tachycardia, hypertension. he was oriented only to self. he received q10 minute doses of valium for his withdrawal and his mental status did not improve, despite high & frequent dosing. his delirium was later thought to be potentially due to benzo toxicity. toxicology screen was otherwise unrevealing. he was intubated on for altered mental status. while intubated, he was treated with multiple sedatives when he appeared agitated. he was extubated on but continued to require occasional sedatives. his mental status only slowly improved and he required tpn. his delirium was likely exacerbated by pain, given his multiple spine surgeries, and he was treated with prn iv narcotics. he continued to be tachycardic and hypertensive for the majority of his time in the micu, and he was started on a clonidine patch, in addition to his withdrawal medications. he was frequently re-oriented to person place and time, and a social work consult was ordered for alcohol abuse. upon stabilization he was transfered to the medical floor where he continued to have improving delirium but still requiring occasional sedatives. his delirium resolved on , he was able to tolerate a regular diet, and tpn was stopped. his ms has been his baseline since. # urinary retention: patient had a foley catheter placed at the time of surgery. this remained in place for ~2 weeks while the patient was intubated and during his prolonged delirium. once his ms was back to baseline the catheter was taken out but the patient was unable to void and was found to be retaining urine. the catheter was then replaced and this was intented on 3 different occasions but the patient failed to void during all even after starting treatment with flomax. the patient should keep the catheter in place until (per surgery recs) at which time a voiding trial should be done. if at this time he fails to void, the patient should be seen by urology. # spinal stenosis: the patient underwent anterior and posterior spinal surgeries. he remained in the micu following his second surgery. his pain was treated as above during his micu dose but these medication were changed to po once his mental status was improved and patient able to take po. his hemovac was pulled by surgery on , without complications. of note, the patient fell out of bed (while in the micu) in between his two surgeries; ct of the l-spine revealed no acute complications or distortion of prior instrumentation/surgical changes. - needs to follow up with dr. 2 weeks after discharge # vap: the patient had fevers and cxr concerning for ventilator-associated pneumonia, and he was started on vancomycin and cefepime on . cefepime was later changed to meropenem on , given the patient's rising wbc count. he remained afebrile throughout his medical floor course, was continued on vanc/ until the day of discharge (received a total 13 day antibiotic course). # gerd: the patient was continued on his home ppi # leukocytosis: patient was found to have a persistent leukocytosis that ranged from . he was ruled out for c.diff, ua, ucx and bcx were negative. this was thought to be due to a combination of vap, surgery and pain. # thrombocytosis: patient presented with a platelet count of 194, it continued to trend up throughout his hospitalization to a max of 777. this was thought to be due to a combination of vap, surgery and pain. he had no complications due to this and it was trending down on discharge. # chronic hepatitis c: untreated, had transaminitis with normal bili. last seen here in liver center by dr. . last viral load was 39,400,000. was referred back to gi at pcp appt in but has not yet seen. hcv viral load was > 2 million, but lfts were only mildly elevated. # htn, benign/tachycardia: patient developed htn and tachycardia during his hosptialization. this was thought to be due to a combination of pain and aggitation. he was treated with antihypertensive and nodal blocking agents. this subsequently resolved and patient was weaned off these medications. medications on admission: doxepin - 50 mg capsule - 1 (one) capsule(s) by mouth three times a day fluticasone

was admitted to the on for further work-up of his dyspnea and chest pain. he underwent a cardiac catheterization which revealed severe two vessel coronary artery disease. as he was in heart failure, lasix was given. due to shortness of breath, a non re-breather was used to make him comfortable. intravenous nitroglycerin was started with good effect for hypertension and he was admitted to the intensive care unit. given the severity of his disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical evaluation. he was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner including a carotid ultrasound shich showed a 40-59% right internal carotid artery stenosis and no significant left disease. as he had mitral valve regurgitation by surface echo, a dental consult was obtained for oral clearance for surgery. after obtaining a panorex film, he was cleared for surgery from a dental standpoint. plavix was held and allowed to washout prior to surgery. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to three vessels. please see operative note for details. amiodarone was started intraoperatively due to ventricular ectopy with weaning from bypass. postoperatively he was admitted to the intensive care unit for monitoring. over the next 24 hours, he awoke nuerologically intact and was extubated. later on postoperative day one, he was transferred to the step down unit for further recovery. he was gently diuresed towards his preoperative weight. the physical therapy service was consulted for assistance with his postoperative strength and mobility. he continued to make steady progress and was discharged to rhabilitation at rehab center in framinghamon postoperative day 7. he will follow-up with dr. , his cardiologist and

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: penicillins / sulfa (sulfonamide antibiotics) attending: chief complaint: worsening l hemiparesis major surgical or invasive procedure: t10-l1 laminectomy and evacuation of an intradural thrombus history of present illness: ms. is a 45 year old woman who is transferred for evaluation of a spinal mass. patient reports the new onset of "leg cramps" and numbness that started approximately one week ago. these symptoms progressed to weakness and difficulty ambulating resulting in several falls. the weakness continued to the point where she was not even able to lift her legs. she presented to where an mri revealed a 6x1.3cm intradural, extramedulary t11 tumor. she is now transferred for neurosurgical evaluation. +lbp. past medical history: stroke -pons and the left cerebellar hemisphere infarct, likely cardioembolic through pfo migraine headaches anxiety lumbar djd social history: she smoke 1ppd. she is married. she works at . she denies drug or alcohol

. leni. impression: no deep venous thrombosis in either lower extremity. . chest cta. impression: 1. no evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. large left lower lobe consolidation and atelectasis, compatible with pneumonia. underlying obstructive mass cannot be excluded in this region, and followup imaging is recommended once consolidation has been cleared. small right lower lobe consolidations compatible with multifocal pneumonia. 3. moderate upper-zone centrilobular emphysema. . chest x-ray. findings: status post abdominal surgery. as compared to the pre-operative radiograph, there is now a relatively extensive left lower lobe atelectasis. no other relevant changes, notably no evidence of pneumothorax. unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette. no pleural effusions. . mri t and l spine. impression: 1. interval post-surgical changes from the t9 through t12 level, with evacuation of the majority of previously-seen nonenhancing material within the spinal canal. there is a small residual peripherally-enhancing intradural collection, posterior to t11, exerting mild mass effect upon the cord. there is residual cord deformity and abnormal cord t2-signal. no solid enhancing mass is present. correlation with final pathology results is needed to help determine the potential etiology of the residual collection. 2. several small subdural collections within the lumbar spine with residual nonenhancing complex material, layering dependently in the thecal sac, likely representing residual blood products. . arterial dopplers of lower extremities. findings: doppler evaluation was performed of both lower extremity arterial systems at rest. on the right, the femoral, popliteal and posterior tibial waveforms are triphasic, at the dorsalis pedis is monophasic. similar finding is identified on the left. the abi is 1.01 on the right, 1.05 on the left. pulse volume recordings show drop off at the ankle and metatarsal level. impression: somewhat difficult to interpret study with fairly symmetric drop off in pulse volume recordings at both ankles and metatarsals. although the posterior tibial waveforms are triphasic, dorsalis pedis is monophasic bilaterally which reflect some degree of tibial artery disease. brief hospital course: in summary, ms. is a 45 year old female admitted for leg weakness in setting of intradural hematoma of thoracic spine. she underwent evacuation of the thrombus during her hospitalization. her post-operative course was complicated by left lower lobe pneumonia requiring brief icu stay, constipation, post-operative pain, and arterial vasospasm of the feet bilaterally. t11 intradural thrombus. patient presented with leg weakness/numbness and was found at osh to have new t11 thrombus with compression of cord. she underwent evacuation of the thrombus on by neurosurgery. patient was on coumadin at home (prior to admission) for cardioembolic stroke but denied any preceding trauma to her back. at time of discharge, she had no strength in her right foot and only at the ability to move her feet & toes in her left leg. pneumonia. patient's post-operative course was complicated by pneumonia. she was briefly cared for in the sicu. she was treated with cefepime for 7 days which was completed on . sputum cultures were positive for strep pneumoniae and h. influezae. pedal arterial vasospasm. post-operatively, patient was noted to have bilateral cold feet with diminished pulses. the toes on her right foot were noted to be blue. she was evaluated by vascular surgery who felt this was consistent with arterial vasospasm. her toes were warm and well perfused at the time of discharge without any intervention. the vascular surgeons recommended applying nitropaste to her feet in the future if she were to develop arterial vasospasm again. she does not need vascular surgery follow up. pain management. patient experienced significant post-operative pain. she was treated with oxycontin, oxycodone, cyclobenzaprine, gabapentin, and a dexamethasone taper. constipation. patient developed post-operative constipation likely secondary to opioids and post-operative ileus. she was managed with an aggressive bowel regimen and her constipation improved, though she continued to have intermittent abdominal pain associated with constipation. depression/anxiety. patient was continued on home wellbutrin. h/o stroke. history of cerebellar and pontine cvas in felt to be cardioembolic in nature as a result of a pfo. patient was on coumadin as outpatient, but this was stopped given the presence of a thoracic subdural thrombus. neurogenic bladder. patient developed urinary retention, likely secondary to the spinal cord injury. she should be bladder scanned every 4-6 hours and should be straight cathed for bladder volumes of 400 ml or greater. dvt prophylaxis. patient was placed on lovenox 30 for dvt prophylaxis in an acute spinal cord injury patient. code: full, confirmed with patient on . medications on admission:

spasm of the blood vessels in your feet resulting in cold & blue toes, but this resolved without any intervention. if this occurs in the future, please apply nitropaste to your feet but be careful as this medication can lower your blood pressure. please take all medications as you were previously taking with the following changes: 1. please take oxycodone and oxycontin for pain. 2. please stop coumadin. 3. please continue an aggressive bowel regimen of senna, colace, bisoacodyl, and miralax for your constipation. 4. please take lovenox twice daily to prevent a blood clot in your leg. with regards to your bladder function, please have a bladder scan checked every 4-6 hours and get straight catheterized for bladder volumes of 400 ml or greater. you may continue this until you regain your bladder function. reccomdations from your surgeons: ?????? do not smoke. ?????? keep your wound(s) clean and dry. ?????? no tub baths or pool swimming for two weeks from your date of surgery. ?????? you may shower and wet your incision 4 days post-operatively. ?????? no pulling up, lifting more than 10 lbs., or excessive bending or twisting. ?????? limit your use of stairs to 2-3 times per day. ?????? have a friend or family member check your incision daily for signs of infection. ?????? take your pain medication as instructed; you may find it best if taken in the morning when you wake-up for morning stiffness, and before bed for sleeping discomfort. ??????do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as motrin, advil, aspirin, and ibuprofen etc. unless directed by your doctor. ??????increase your intake of fluids and fiber, as pain medicine (narcotics) can cause constipation. we recommend taking an over the counter stool softener, such as docusate (colace) while taking

feeding tube are unchanged. the right midline is unchanged. overall, no substantial change since the prior examination obtained a day ago is demonstrated. dr. brief hospital course: ms. was transferred from an outside hospital presenting with a myocardial infarction secondary to a large ventricular septal defect. a tandem heart was placed on arrival. closure of the lesion was unsucessfully attempted with a ventricular septal defect closure device as the lesion was larger than the device. an oxygenator was added to the tandem device in the setting of worsening oxygenation. during transition to oxygenation the patient's systolic blood pressure dropped to 10-40mmhg. the cardiology team tried to percutaneously close the vsd but was unsuccesful. on she underwent open closure of her ventricular septal defect. please see the operative note for details. in summary she had: 1. repair of postinfarct ventricular septal defect with a pericardial onlay patch from the left ventricular side. patch is periguard reference #, lot #. 2. removal of patient from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation continuous circulatory support. 3. open repair of right common femoral artery. she tolerated the procedure well and was transferred in critical but stable condition to the surgical intensive care unit on multiple pressors and inotropes. the patient was kept sedated to allow for diuresis in the immediate post-op period. she was weaned from her pressors and diuresed over several days and ultimately extubated, but her respiratory status remained tenuous. over the next several days she continued to show slow improvement however on the patient developed became acutely hypotensive again requiring pressors she also became anuric and required reintubation. a repeat echo showed failure of the surgical vsd closure nad she was brought to the cath lab for percutaneous closure attempt-this time successfully. the patient continued to have acute renal failure ultimately requiring dialysis. she also developed a component of liver failure w/elevated lft's and tbili. an ultrasound showed a distende gallbladder and a chole tube was placed by general surgery on . the patient

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: past medical history: high blood pressure. past surgical history: laparoscopic cholecystectomy on . medications: on admission, none. allergies: oxycontin. physical examination: the patient is afebrile, vital signs stable. no acute distress. lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. cvs: regular rate and rhythm, no murmurs. abdomen: obese, nontender, nondistended, but soft. hospital course: the patient was kept npo. on , a hida scan was performed demonstrating likely persistent bile leakage. labs that morning, , were the following: wbc of 2.9, hematocrit of 33.3, platelets 406,000. sodium 133, potassium 3.3, chloride 95, bicarbonate 23, bun 3, creatinine 0.7, glucose 156. ast 137, alt 292, alkaline phosphatase 930, amylase 1649 and lipase 3905. inr 1.2. on , the patient had an ultrasound of her hypoechoic fluid collection in the gallbladder fossa measuring 65 x 31 x 32. fluid collection in the gallbladder fossa could not be accessed by ultrasound via submucosal approach. the patient was brought to the ct scanner for pigtail catheter placement. the same day the patient did have a ct guided placement of an 8 french catheter in the subhepatic fluid collection. on , the patient had decreased pain, afebrile, vital signs stable. total bilirubin had decreased. drain had put out 75 cc. on , the patient had an ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrating patent hepatic venous and pleural venous system with flow in the appropriate direction. normal doppler arterial waveform in the liver. there was no significant residual fluid seen in the gallbladder fossa after placement of a drainage catheter and no free fluid seen in the abdomen. on , the patient went to interventional radiology for a right-sided percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography which was unsuccessful after multiple attempts. left-sided intrahepatic biliary tree is not dilated. contrast passes from the left-sided biliary tree through the stent into the bowel. the patient had a ng placed on admission, continued to be npo. positive flatus on . on , her labs that day were the following: wbc of 16.8, hematocrit of 23.9, platelets 263,000. sodium 139, potassium 3.0, chloride 101, bicarbonate 30, bun 6 and creatinine 0.6 with a glucose of 90. amylase and lipase had decreased significantly to 424 and 444. ast was 49, alt 106, alkaline phosphatase 416. inr was 1.4. the decreased hematocrit prompted a ct abdomen and pelvis to be obtained which demonstrated active bleeding from the anterior liver causing a large hematoma in the right upper quadrant with extension of the hematoma into the pelvis. there was evidence of mass backed by the hematoma displacing the liver more centrally. there was fluid around the tail of the pancreas which may be consistent with the patient's history of pancreatitis. biliary catheter is seen in the porta hepatis. no significant fluid collection in the gallbladder fossa. there is a small left pleural effusion and atelectasis. urgent angiogram was performed of the liver demonstrating superselective angiogram of the hepatic arteries demonstrating an area of acute extravasation in the anterior segment of the right lobe of the liver. there was successful coiling of the bleeding vessel using two 0.018/0.5 cm straight coils. of note, during her hospitalization, the patient had episodes of aggressive behavior where she would suck her thumb, infantile speech, would not get out of bed. the patient was placed on unasyn since the time of admission on , when she received 3 mg iv q.6 and eventually finished a 16 day course of antibiotics which was discontinued on . on , the patient had a ct abdomen and pelvis demonstrating interval development of a large geographic area of hypodensity in the right hepatic lobe. given the recent hepatic artery embolization, this is reasonable for hepatic necrosis or developing abscess. parenchymal hematoma is also less likely. there is no evidence of active contrast extravasation. decrease in the amount of perihepatic abdominal and pelvic fluid. there was a small left pleural effusion. since the patient was npo, the patient had been started on tpn. she was at goal. social work was consulted. foley was in place throughout this early hospitalization. the patient was out of bed walking with physical therapy. nutrition was consulted and made recommendations on tpn. on , the patient had an ercp demonstrating the previous stent placed in the biliary duct was found in the major papilla. this was removed. the postcholecystectomy structure was seen in the common hepatic duct. there was moderate postobstructive dilatation. left intrahepatic ductal system was dilated as well as compared to the branches seen in the right system. the forceful injection was performed and the patient was rotated for optimal visualization, appeared we were in fact viewing both a nondilated right and a moderately dilated left system. no biliary leak was seen. a 12 cm x 10 french contin biliary stent was placed successfully in the left main hepatic duct. on , the patient continued to be afebrile, vital signs stable with wbc of 8.8, hematocrit of 31.0, platelets 322,000. sodium 134, potassium 4.3, chloride 102, bicarbonate 24, bun 15, creatinine 0.6, and glucose of 95. ast was 132, alt 279, alkaline phosphatase 492, total bilirubin 1.9 which had decreased significantly. amylase and lipase 221 and 137 which was also decreased. on , the patient went to the or for an end to side roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy over a 5 french feeding tube; evacuation of subcapsular hematoma performed by dr. and dr. . please see operative note from , for more details about the operation. postoperatively, the patient had an epidural for pain control. on , the patient had a t-max of 102.2, had ng tube continued to be in place, good urine output, t tube put out 270. the patient had 2 j-p drains, one put out 270 and the other 10. her labs that day were wbc of 12.8, hematocrit of 24.1, platelets 295,000. sodium 133, potassium 3.9, chloride 101, bicarbonate 26, bun 11 and creatinine 0.5, glucose 121. ast was 110, alt 199, alkaline phosphatase 242, total bilirubin 1.3. temperature was worked up which included a ua, uc, blood cultures which were all unremarkable. the patient was transfused blood for a hematocrit of 24.1. the patient was placed on vancomycin postoperatively and received a total of 8 days of vancomycin 1 gram iv q.12. at discharge, physical therapy was reconsulted. on , epidural catheter was removed. tip was intact. there were no complications. the patient was placed on iv medications for pain control. the patient continued to be npo, continued on tpn. the patient was out of bed. fingersticks were within range of 105 to 139. on , the patient had a t-tube cholangiogram demonstrating gravity t-tube cholangiogram demonstrating emptying of contrast into the jejunum. there is dilation of the left hepatic duct as noted, unchanged compared to the ercp on . on , the patient's diet was advanced. continued to ambulate well with physical therapy and physical therapist thought that she could go home, that it would be safe for her to go home. on , ct abdomen and pelvis was performed because of persistent nausea and vomiting which demonstrated no evidence of bowel obstruction or other acute gastrointestinal pathology. decrease in size of intrahepatic subcapsular collection. there was a 5.9 x 4.6 x 3.4 cm focus in the gallbladder fossa of low attenuation mixed with air. this may represent surgical packing, however, an abscess could not be excluded. so the patient was receiving keflex for a small area of her incision that was possible infection. after receiving the cat scan and speaking with the patient, dr. felt that all unnecessary medications should be stopped which included antibiotic keflex, which she had been treated with 1 day of keflex. protonix was discontinued. dilaudid was discontinued. on , the patient was on no antibiotics. she had no overnight events. she was afebrile and vital signs were stable. blood sugars were excellent. weight was 68.9 kilograms, relatively good and o's. urine output was good. labs on the 24th, were the following: wbc of 9.5, hematocrit of 26.8, platelets 336,000. sodium 134, potassium 4.3, chloride 99, bicarbonate 26, bun 11 and creatinine 0.7, and glucose 71. calcium, phosphorus and magnesium were 9.0, 4.5, 1.8. ast 38, alt 113, alkaline phosphatase 350. so at that point, the patient was only taking tylenol p.r.n. the patient was discharged to home with physical therapy and vna. she went home on the following medications: tylenol 325 mg 1-2 tabs q.4-6hours p.r.n. and dilaudid 2 mg 1 tablet every 8 hours p.r.n. if needed. the patient is to call transplant surgery immediately at if any fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, increased abdominal pain, any redness around her ptc catheter which was capped. major surgical invasive procedures: 1. , endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. 2. , unsuccessful attempted right sided percutaneous transhepatic angiography despite multiple attempts. 3. , superselective angiogram. 4. , ct guided placement of drain catheter. 5. , right ij catheter in the superior vena cava. 6. , another endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. 7. , end to side roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy over a 5 french feeding tube and evacuation of subcapsular hematoma. the patient postoperatively had 3 drains, 2 j-p drains and 1 t-tube. on postoperative day 2, one of the j-p drains were removed and on , postoperative day 8, second j-p drain was removed. so the patient only has 1 t- tube which has been capped. recommended follow-up appointments: dr. on , at 11:00 a.m. please call if there are any questions about the appointment.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 50 year old man with a history of polysubstance abuse including cocaine, heroin and alcohol, hepatitis b, hepatitis c, restrictive lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension, who presented with hypotension, hypoxia and unresponsiveness. the medical course began when he was diagnosed with mild pneumonia on , after presenting to an outside hospital with shortness of breath and productive cough. the patient was found to have a right lower lobe infiltrate thought to be aspiration. he was continued on antibiotics. the patient then presented to the emergency department on , with chest pain and dysarthria. neurology consultation concluded that he had a toxic metabolic encephalopathy as the workup included negative toxicology screen, lumbar puncture and electroencephalogram. swallow study was done for aspiration which was normal. head ct was also negative as well as a ct of the spine. right upper quadrant ultrasound showed cirrhosis. on , the patient was found to have a distended acute abdomen with an abdominal ct that showed portal venous air and the patient was taken emergently to the operating room where he was found to have toxic megacolon. the patient underwent total colectomy with a mucous fistula and ileostomy. the pathology showed pseudomembranous focal hemorrhage as well as wall thickening and patchy ulceration which suggested ischemia and possibly infectious etiologies, although the findings seem to correlate with a vascular pattern. the pathology was not thought to be consistent with inflammatory bowel disease. on postoperative day five, the patient developed copious ostomy output four to five liters per day and progressive volume depletion. the patient was given ceftriaxone and flagyl and finally improved and was discharged to rehabilitation. at rehabilitation, the patient had frequent large volume occult blood positive stool and intermittent clear nausea and vomiting which improved with nexium. also, the patient was restarted on clozol. the patient had tarry stools on . the patient was alert and oriented, however, ambulating and comfortable at rehabilitation. on , at 7:15 a.m., the patient was found to be unresponsive with coffee brown liquidy ooze around his mouth. his oxygen saturation was 79% with a blood pressure of 88/60. the patient was transferred to emergency department. in the emergency department, his blood pressure was 60/42, respiratory rate 24, oxygen saturation 98% with a nasogastric lavage that was occult blood positive but negative for coffee grounds. the patient was intubated for airway protection and left subclavian vein line was placed. the patient was given fluids, ceftriaxone, flagyl and transferred to the medical intensive care unit. the patient was then switched to levofloxacin and flagyl. in the intensive care unit, he grew four out of four blood culture bottles positive for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. the patient was switched to vancomycin. he had a temporary pressor requirement but was gradually weaned off pressors. the patient was given fluids. the patient had a transthoracic echocardiogram in the intensive care unit that was negative. the patient was also found to have pancreatitis. past medical history: 1. polysubstance abuse including alcohol, cocaine and

zestril. social history: the patient lives with sister and is unemployed. he smokes two packs per day for the last thirty-five years. the patient admits to drinking alcohol. in the past, the patient has been a heavy alcohol, cocaine and intravenous drug user. family history: hypertension and alcohol abuse. physical examination: the patient had a temperature of 98.7 with a pulse of 105, respiratory rate 18, blood pressure 115/60 and oxygen saturation 100% while intubated. generally, the patient was intubated and sedated with occasional chewing on his tube and myoclonic jerks. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination revealed pale conjunctiva. the pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements are intact. anicteric sclera with green ogt drainage. the drainage was occult blood positive. cardiac examination revealed regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2, no murmurs, rubs or gallops. the chest examination revealed lungs that had decreased breath sounds on the left and clear to auscultation on the right. abdominal examination revealed a softly distended abdomen with some discomfort to palpation and no clear distribution. no bowel sounds were heard and no masses were felt. the patient had a well healing incision with mucous fistula that appeared noninfected. colostomy was pink. there was liquid brown stool that was occult blood positive. extremity examination revealed warm and well perfused extremities with no edema. laboratory data: the patient had a white blood cell count of 16.1, with a hematocrit of 26.0 and platelets of 307,000. urinalysis was negative. the patient had a chem7 with a potassium of 5.4, blood urea nitrogen 148, creatinine 8.0. alt was 147, ast 55, alkaline phosphatase 141, total bilirubin 0.8. initial ck was 58. amylase was 301 with a lipase of 402. arterial blood gases on admission revealed ph 7.30/25/133. chest x-ray with left linear atelectasis versus infiltrate. endotracheal tube was 1.0 centimeter above the carina. there was a left subclavian line in the mid superior vena cava. electrocardiogram revealed normal sinus rhythm at 83 beats per minute with normal axis and intervals. there was a biphasic t wave in v2 and mildly peaked t waves in v3 through v6. hospital course: this 50 year old man with a history of polysubstance abuse, hepatitis b, hepatitis c, question of schizophrenia, restrictive lung disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presented in septic shock with four out of four blood culture bottles positive for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus but no documented source. the patient also presented in acute renal failure and with pancreatitis. 1. pulmonary - the patient was intubated for hypoxic respiratory failure and extubated on . the patient was easily weaned to room air. there was question of recurrent aspiration although the chest x-ray did not appear to impressively suggest that. a speech and swallow evaluation was done and video swallow test showed that the patient does not aspirate. the patient was given incentive spirometry and meter dose inhalers. the patient was maintained in room air upon transfer to a floor bed and continued to do well from a respiratory standpoint. repeated chest x-rays showed bilateral basilar opacities which were thought to be aspiration pneumonia. initially, the patient was not treated for this but did develop low grade fever and was eventually started on levofloxacin. the patient did not have a strong history for aspiration and was not placed on antibiotics for aspiration initially. 2. infectious disease - the patient presented septic requiring pressors with four out of four bottles positive for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus without a clear source. a transthoracic echocardiogram done in the medical intensive care unit showed no evidence of vegetation, however, was of suboptimal image quality. the patient eventually had a transesophageal echocardiogram which revealed a 4.0 millimeter vegetation on the noncoronary cusp of the aortic valve. the patient was continued on vancomycin 750 mg intravenous t.i.d. vancomycin levels were within therapeutic range. other sources of the positive blood cultures included abdominal source since the patient had recently undergo in-hospital abdominal surgery. an abdominal ultrasound and renal ultrasound revealed no evidence of abscess or dilated ducts. cirrhosis was noted. there was patent portal vein, however. no evidence of renal abscess and unremarkable kidneys with no lower abdominal collections. an hiv test was pursued and was found to be negative. the patient had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy before the transesophageal echocardiogram to rule out upper gastrointestinal source of bleeding. grade i varices were seen in the esophagus. an abdominal ct was pursued which revealed small pleural effusions and nonobstructing clot in the smv. there was no evidence of ischemia. no abscesses or other abnormalities were noted. the pancreas was noted to be normal. hcv pcr revealed nondetectable viral load. because the patient had persistent tenderness over his lower back including l4-l5 and l5-s1, a magnetic resonance scan was done of the back which revealed subtle t11 to t12 increase intensity on the t2 images. further evaluation with bone scan was considered. the patient had wound cultures sent from his abdominal wound which showed moderate growth, coagulase positive staphylococcus. repeated chest x-rays showed persistent bibasilar opacities consistent with aspiration. ct surgery was consulted for possible surgical management of his endocarditis although they did not feel that there was a need for surgical intervention at the time. the patient also was found to have a patent foramen ovale which was found to be small. ct surgery recommended evaluating the patient for lower extremity sources of emboli. lower extremity ultrasound was negative bilaterally for deep vein thrombosis. it was then thought that the source of possible embolic event may have been from endocarditis. 3. cardiovascular - the patient with transesophageal echocardiogram revealing a 4.0 millimeter vegetation and a patent foramen ovale. paradoxical embolus was thought to be unlikely given the size of the patent foramen ovale. lower extremity ultrasound looking for source of paradoxical emboli was negative bilaterally. ct surgery followed the patient while in the hospital and did not see any acute intervention being indicated. the patient was only found to have 2+ aortic insufficiency on transesophageal echocardiogram and no evidence of valve damage or paravalvular abscess. 4. renal - the patient was found to have acute renal failure upon presentation and upon examination of the urine was found to have coarse muddy brown casts consistent with acute tubular necrosis. the patient was also markedly dehydrated because of high ostomy output. thus, his renal failure was thought to be secondary to acute tubular necrosis and prerenal causes. he received fluid hydration and his creatinine gradually resolved to baseline of 0.8 to 0.9. 5. psychiatric - the patient with reported history of schizophrenia versus schizo-affective disorder. psychiatry followed the patient while in hospital and felt there was no current indication for antipsychotic pharmacology. the patient also with a history of depression treated with prozac. he remained stable while in the hospital. 6. gastrointestinal - the patient with pancreatitis with increasing lipase and amylase but no evidence of inflammation on abdominal ct. the patient was also found to be gastric occult positive in the intensive care unit but stable on the floor. his hematocrit was found to be stable as well. an esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed before the transesophageal echocardiogram which revealed grade i varices. the patient was quickly started on proton pump inhibitor and propanolol which was titrated to keep his pulse below 60. the patient's diet was advanced despite increase in lipase and amylase. gastroenterology followed the patient while in the hospital. condition on discharge: good. the rest of the discharge summary will be dictated closer to the day of discharge. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less

heart, lungs, and abdomen was essentially unremarkable with the exception of a right forearm cast which was covered with stockinette and which showed protruding hardware. otherwise, there was no clubbing, cyanosis or edema of the extremities. her right fingers were warm, dry, and could wiggle all five fingers of the right hand with pink nail beds and no appreciable edema noted. also, she had a contused ecchymotic area of the chin with steri-strips on the lower chin laceration and a crusted dry small laceration beneath the chin. she also had fractures of the bilateral incisor teeth, the front teeth, and had overall poor dentition. the smile was equal and the face was symmetric. nares were patent. the right ear canal was positive for dry blood with a thin walled clot in the canal versus a hemotympanum. there was mild excoriation, crusting of the canal. the neck was supple with a full range of motion and nontender. the pupils were not equal or reactive on the left side due to previous surgery for cataract. the right pupil showed a small cataract and was reactive, 2.5 mm to 1.5 mm, briskly with extraocular movements intact and peripheral vision full to confrontation grossly. the remainder of the neurologic examination showed the patient to be awake, alert, oriented times three to time, place, and person. she was conversant with fluent speech. her face was

forearm due to the cast. strength was in all muscle groups tested in the bilateral upper and lower extremities. the sensory examination was intact to light touch throughout except that she noted slight decreased light touch to the right fifth finger. the deep tendon reflexes were essentially within normal limits with the right achilles absent, left achilles slightly diminished and the right plantar response mute and the left plantar response downgoing. there was a slight increase tone of the right leg at the knee. there was no ankle clonus and gait and romberg were not tested due to the patient's recent postoperative status. laboratories/other studies: the admission laboratory values were within normal limits, particularly the coagulations were 13.6 pt, 26.5 ptt, and inr of 1.3. a ct scan reviewed from the showed an acute on chronic left-sided subdural hematoma with chronic phase along the entire hemisphere with a more acute phase measuring approximately 0.8 by 4 cm clot along the upper left frontal lobe. there was a positive midline shift of the deeper brain structures. there was also traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage along the tentorium and posterior but the basilar and prepontine cisterns were clear and showed no evidence of blood. hospital course: due to clinical findings and findings on the outside ct scan, the patient was admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit for observation and q. one hour neurological checks throughout the night. on the morning following admission, the patient underwent a left frontal subdural bedside evacuation of the hematoma with placement of a subdural drain. the patient tolerated the procedure well. she spent the next two days in the neuro intensive care unit and showed a normal neurologic examination and a ct scan showed resolution of the subdural hematoma and the drain was subsequently removed on . the patient was transferred to the hospital floor. the remainder of the patient's postoperative hospitalization was essentially unremarkable. she was discharged home to the care of her children on the morning of after a physical therapy consult showed that the patient ambulated in stable condition and was safe for discharge to her home without significant need for home services. the patient was encouraged to contact her pcp, orthopedist, and her local ent doctor for further follow-up of her conditions. she was given a follow-up appointment with dr. in approximately three to four weeks time, at which time a ct scan of the head would be obtained for further evaluation of resolution of the hematoma. , m.d.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 49-year-old male with a history of polycystic kidney disease who has been on hemodialysis for the last 15 years who was initially admitted for a splenic laceration several weeks post motor vehicle accident. the patient presented to on , complained of abdominal pain in his left upper and lower quadrant. the patient had been involved in a motor vehicle accident that was struck on his left flank. ct of his abdomen at the time disclosed free fluid in the pelvis in the left paracolic gutter and question of heterogeneous splenic mass concerning for rupture. the patient was admitted to surgery and went to the operating room on where he had open splenectomy. he had a 500 cc blood loss, after which he was transferred 2 units of packed red blood cells and 2 units of fresh frozen plasma. in the pacu, he was extubated but required intubation due to obtundation and inability to protect his airway. the patient developed further bleeding and was returned to the operating room for re-exploration, hematocrit of 21. the patient was noticed to have 2500 cc of blood loss with the surgery and postoperative he was noted to have no flow to his right av fistula graft. the patient was admitted to the sicu where he received 33 units of packed red blood cells as well as fresh frozen plasma. the patient had quinton catheter placed for temporary hemodialysis access. the patient remained intubated secondary to volume overload. the patient also developed a temperature to 102?????? and was started empirically on zosyn. the patient in the sicu was also found to have sinus tachycardia with a negative cta and electrocardiogram demonstrating t-wave inversions in 1, l, v2 through v6. the patient developed an enzyme leak which was consistent with acute myocardial infarction. the patient was managed medically with lopressor. the patient was finally stabilized and was extubated on and required intermittent bi-pap and was difficult to wean from respiratory support. the patient was initially transferred to the medical intensive care unit team for further management of his respiratory failure on . while in the medical intensive care unit the first time, the patient was found to have paralysis of his right hemidiaphragm due to phrenic nerve dysfunction. the patient was weaned to nasal cannula, but required nightly cpap. the patient had been transferred to the floor and was doing well, however on the day of , the patient was found acutely unresponsive, had a chest x-ray consistent with a new aspiration event. the patient had received 6 mg of morphine overnight and narcan empirically after he was discovered to have an arterial blood gas that was 7.19/64/240. with bi-pap, the patient improved and was weaned to nasal cannula again. arterial blood gases showed improvement in the patient's pco2 to 43 and patient was back to his baseline mental status. the patient was, however, at 11 p.m. on , found by nurses to be unresponsive with a heart rate in the 40s and breathing at 6x a minute. code was called. the patient received epi and atropine 1 mg x3 and was emergently intubated. arterial blood gases prior to intubation 7.00/98/69. after intubation, the patient became tachycardic with pulse in the 150s. ecg was suggestive of atrial flutter versus narrow complex supraventricular tachycardia. the patient did have st depressions anteriorly. the patient had blood pressure dropped acutely to 50s/palp. the patient received shock x2 with no change in rhythm. the patient received 6 mg of adenosine also with no effect. the patient was started on a neo ggt and had improvement of his blood pressure and tachycardia. past medical history: patient's past medical history is remarkable for polycystic kidney disease. the patient has end stage renal disease on hemodialysis since . the patient has a history of bacterial endocarditis in , status post mitral valve replacement and debridement of perivalvular abscess. the patient has a history of hypertension, history of peptic ulcer disease, history of lower gastrointestinal bleed, history of embolic cerebrovascular accident. the patient is status post parathyroidectomy, history of gout, history of hypothyroidism, history of a left inguinal hernia that has been repaired in the past. medications on transfer to medical intensive care unit on : 1. metoprolol 25 mg intravenous q4h 2. enalapril 7.5 mg intravenous 3. aspirin 4. morphine sulfate prn 5. haldol 6. atrovent 7. albuterol 8. n-acetyl 15 9. levothyroxine 0.075 mg po q day 10. levaquin 250 mg intravenous q 48 hours 11. flagyl 500 mg po bid 12. heparin 500 mg subcutaneous 13. protonix 40 mg po q day 14. magnesium sulfate allergies: the patient is not known to have any drug allergies. social history: negative for alcohol and tobacco. the patient's mother and ex-wife are involved in his care. physical exam on transfer to medical intensive care unit on : vital signs: temperature 100.0??????, heart rate 110s, blood pressure 105/48 on neo. general: he was intubated, sedated, thin appearing. head, ears, eyes, nose and throat: patient's pupils were sluggishly reactive bilaterally. cardiac: notable for tachycardic, but regular. no murmurs were appreciated. pulmonary: the patient was noted to have coarse breath sounds that were equal bilaterally. no wheezes. abdomen: nondistended with a midline scar. extremities: no edema. imaging: chest x-ray at the time of admission showed that he had a left ij and an ett in the proper position. transfer labs: white count of 23.4 with a differential of 80 neutrophils, 10 lymphocytes, hematocrit 28.6, platelets 627. the patient's inr was 1.6. ptt was 33.6. sodium 135, potassium 3.9, chloride 107, bicarbonate 17, bun 85, creatinine 5.7, glucose of 97. in short, this a 49-year-old male initially admitted for splenectomy with a complicated hospital course including postoperative bleed and multiple hypercarbic arrests who presented again to the medical intensive care unit on after hypercarbic respiratory arrest and subsequent hemodynamic collapse. hospital course by system: 1. pulmonary - respiratory failure: the patient's respiratory failure is presumed to be due to a combination of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis, narcosis and multiple aspiration events. additionally, the patient's volume status was tenuous and frequently felt to be contributing to his inability to wean from mechanical ventilation. after presentation to the medical intensive care unit on , the patient received a ct of his chest, abdomen and pelvis. this is notable for bilateral pleural effusions as well as consolidation at both lung bases concerning for infection. the patient underwent diagnostic therapeutic tap of his pleural effusion on with 800 cc of exudative fluid removed. gram stain and culture of the fluid were negative. the patient was re-extubated on and initially did well, however he required re-intubation for pea arrest on . the patient did well after reintubation, particularly after aggressive hemodialysis brought him down to his pre hospital weight. however, given that the patient had already undergone two hypercarbic respiratory arrests after extubation while in the hospital and given his underlying tendency to aspirate as well as his diaphragmatic paralysis, it was agreed that the patient should undergo tracheostomy and more protracted coarse of weaning from the ventilator. the patient underwent tracheostomy at the bedside on . the patient was tolerating trials of pressure support only, breathing well on his own, especially when close to euvolemic at the time of this dictation. 2. cardiovascular: as discussed in history of present illness, the patient had a troponin leak thought secondary to demand ischemia in the setting of anemia and hypotension while in the sicu that was managed medically. the patient also had a transthoracic echocardiogram while in the sicu which showed evidence of small asd with left to right shunt. this did not appear to be contributing to patient's current problems and could probably be reconsidered when the patient is more stable. following his pea arrest on , the patient developed atrial fibrillation. the patient was loaded with amiodarone and resumed sinus rhythm. he remained in sinus rhythm for the rest of his hospitalization. the patient had had his hypertension managed with hydralazine while he was npo after being weaned off pressors. however, at the time of this dictation, the patient had been restarted back on his beta blocker and his ace inhibitor. 3. renal: the patient underwent hemodialysis throughout the course of his hospital stay as well as ultrafiltration when necessary to remove extra fluid. 4. infectious disease: on transfer to the medical intensive care unit on , the patient was noted to have a white count of 23. the patient was pan cultured at the time of readmission, however all of his cultures remained negative. the patient had been empirically started on antibiotics prior to undergoing further work up. however, the patient's antibiotics were stopped after patient had a tte that was negative for endocarditis, a full body ct scan which showed no evidence of abscess and his pleural effusion showed no evidence of infectious etiology either. following the pea arrest, though, which was on and thought to be associated with an aspiration event, the patient was started on ceftaz and flagyl. the patient completed a 14 day course of ceftaz and flagyl and had remission of his leukocytosis. 5. deep venous thrombosis: patient was noted to have right greater than left arm swelling on the 17th. the patient underwent right upper extremity ultrasound and was noted to have a deep venous thrombosis in his subclavian and basilic vein given the concern for clotting of his hemodialysis catheter. the patient was started on heparin until his surgical procedures were finished, at which time the plan was to transition him over to lovenox. 6. nutrition: nutrition continued to be a problem for the patient throughout the course of his hospitalization. the patient had been started on tpn while in the sicu on . this was continued through at which time it was decided that his right ij was a potential source of infection and should be discontinued. at this time, it was also thought that the patient would receive peg tube in the next day or two, however the patient's peg tube was delayed due to scheduling issues. the patient was restarted on tube feeds which he tolerated at a slow rate initially before becoming nauseous and developing an elevated lipase for which the tube feeds were stopped. the patient had two attempts at percutaneous peg placement which were unsuccessful, one at the bedside with an endoscope and the other down in interventional radiology. given the patient's complicated abdominal anatomy, it was decided to consult surgery for open peg placement which was pending at the time of this dictation. 7. psych: the patient was considerably anxious during his hospitalization which was controlled with ativan. also towards the end of his hospitalization, the patient began being tearful and expressing great sadness. the patient was started on paxil to help improve his mood in the long term. 8. endocrine: the patient was maintained on synthroid throughout the course of his medical intensive care unit stay. 9. anemia: the patient had his epo dose increased to 12,000 units twice a week while in the medical intensive care unit. the patient also developed a hematocrit which dropped from 28 to 21. this responded to 2 units of packed red blood cells. the patient did not require any further transfusions through the date of . 10. gastrointestinal - nausea - vomiting: on the 25th, the patient developed nausea and vomiting. tube feeds as stated above needed to be stopped. the patient's amylase and lipase were checked, as were his liver function tests. his liver function tests were all within normal limits, however his lipase was slightly elevated. the patient's tube feeds were thus stopped. the patient's nausea was controlled with zofran. note: this completes the hospital course up through . the patient will require addendum to his hospital course prior to discharge. dr., 11-933 dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive

resuscitation and pressors. subsequently developed respiratory failure requiring intubation for almost one week. intially started on vanc/zosyn/levaquin but then narrowed to levaquin and ceftriaxone when sputum showed pan-sensitive e. coli (8 day antibiotic course complete on ). still with 1-2l oxygen requirement at the time of discharge. . # nstemi, type ii (demand) myocardial infarction / cad: started on dopamine due to low blood pressures, at which time she became nauseous and was found to have diffuse st depressions. dopamine was stopped. troponin peaked at 1.35. she was started on heparin drip. st depressions resolved off dopamine and she was started on levophed instead. troponin trended down and heparin drip was stopped. started on aspirin 325, atorvastatin 80. cardiology consult favored demand ischemia in the setting of sepsis/pressors and underlying stable cad (instead of plaque instability). once her functional status returns to basline, she will follow-up with cardiology to determine whether further evaluation is necessary. . # icu-associated delirium / toxic-metabolic encephalopathy: post extubation she became very delirious, particularly at night. assumed to be related to a combination of the sedation used for intubation, as well as prolonged icu stay. a component of baseline dementia is likely contributory. required prn haldol early on, but improved greatly by the time of discharge. . # dmii / hypoglycemia: sugars difficult to control in setting of sepsis. restarted on home insulin regimen of nph 30 am and 24 pm, and covered with sliding scale.

while she was septic. on the medical floor, she was persistently in sinus rhythm with alternating conduction: mostly 1st degree heart block, occasionally 2nd degree heart block mobitz type i. her conduction disease should either be followed either with serial ekgs or she should be referred to establish care with cardiology. metoprolol dosing was decreased in response to night-time sinus bradycardia. . # chronic foot ulceration / pvd: ulceration appears clean, intact. no overt evidence of superficial infection as she has had in past. she was followed by wound care and has an upcoming

Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 38 year old hiv positive haitian american woman with a history of seizures and possible cns toxoplasmosis who presents with a chief complaint of fevers, chills, lethargy and diarrhea. the patient has had the diagnosis of hiv since and her course has been complicated by opportunistic infections including abnormal pap smears, vulvar and peroneal condylomata, esophageal candidiasis, disseminated zoster, hsv keratitis and possible cns toxoplasmosis with multiple subcortical ring enhanced lesions since on ct since and a positive toxoplasmosis igg titer. she has had these infections despite having cd-4 counts greater than 220 at all times. her most recent cd-4 count is 1800 with a viral load of 320,000. the patient was doing well and was in her usual state of health until approximately 2:00 p.m. on when her husband noted her to be complaining and shaking cold. the patient felt more and more tired throughout the afternoon and by early evening was unable to get out of bed, was complaining of severe skin and muscle pain over her entire body. approximately 2:00 a.m. on the day of admission, the patient's husband tried to get her out of bed and found her unable to move and minimally responsive. at this point, he noted she had been grossly incontinence of watery brown stool with scant streaks of blood and was complaining of extreme thirst. at this point, emergency medical services were called. in the ambulance, the patient was noted to be short of breath and noted to have no palpable blood pressure or measurable oxygen saturation. in the emergency department at , the patient's initial vital signs were stable with a temperature of 100.0, blood pressure of 148/76, respiratory rate of 26, pulse of 113, oxygen saturation of 98% on 4 liters. over the next hour, her blood pressure dropped to the 60's/30, she was resuscitated with 4 liters of normal saline, given right femoral central line through which a dopamine drip was started. at that point, the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit for further management. past medical history: 1. hiv. the patient has a history of reasonable cd-4 counts, all greater than 220 but a recently very high viral load and a history of significant opportunistic infections over the past five years, as noted in the history of present

urine/blood/bal cultures: no growth, final . studies: . ct chest abdomen comparison: outside hospital ct abdomen . technique: mdct helical images were acquired through the chest, abdomen and pelvis without intravenous contrast. iv contrast was deferred given the patient's elevated creatinine of 3.7. sagittal and coronal reformats were generated and reviewed. findings: ct of the chest: an endotracheal tube ends approximately 5 cm above the carina. a left chest wall pacemaker is present with two leads terminating in the right ventricle. the nasogastric tube ends in the body of the stomach. there are multifocal nodular opacities seen in the right and left upper lobes, which may represent an acute infectious process. these are improved since the prior study. bilateral small pleural effusions are present, with associated compressive atelectasis of both lower lobes, right greater than left. no significant axillary lymphadenopathy is detected. multiple prominent mediastinal lymph nodes are seen in the right paratracheal region, prevascular and para-aortic region measuring up to a maximum of 12 mm. ct of the abdomen without intravenous contrast: within the limitations of a non-contrast study, the liver, the gallbladder, the spleen, adrenal glands are unremarkable. there is mild right hydronephrosis, which is not significantly changed since the prior study. a right ureteric stent is in stable position, terminating in the bladder. assessment of stent patency cannot be performed in this study. the left kidney is stable in appearance, with tiny non-obstructive calculi in the lower pole. the stomach, small and large bowel are unremarkable. there is no intra-abdominal free fluid or air. multiple small lymph nodes are seen in the retroperitoneum, measuring up to a maximum of 7 mm in short axis, and are not enlarged to ct limits of significant adenopathy. ct of the pelvis without intravenous contrast: the urinary bladder is empty with a foley catheter in place. the distal end of right ureteric stent is in the bladder. there is no left hydroureteronephrosis. a rectal tube is in place. the sigmoid colon is unremarkable except for mild diverticulosis, without evidence of acute diverticulitis. no significant pelvic lymphadenopathy or free fluid is detected. osseous structures and soft tissues: no bone lesions suspicious for infection or malignancy are detected. mild multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine are present. the patient is status post cabg with multiple intact sternotomy wires. impression: 1. bilateral moderate pleural effusions, with associated compressive atelectasis of the lung bases. multifocal nodular opacities in both upper lobes, likely infectious in etiology. these have slightly improved since the earlier ct of . multiple prominent mediastinal lymph nodes, likely reactive. 2. mild right hydronephrosis, stable in appearance since the prior study. a right ureteric double-j stent is in place. previously seen proximal right ureteric stone is not definitely visualized in the current study. 3. multiple non-obstructive left renal calculi. 4. reactive retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, stable. cxr (): developing multifocal pneumonia . renal us (): mild right renal hydronephrosis as was seen on the abdomen ct of . a non-obstructing stone is seen at the lower pole of the right kidney, and two small non-obstructing stones are seen at the lower pole of the left kidney. no hydronephrosis is seen in the left kidney. . echo (): the left atrium is elongated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed with anteroseptal and septal apical hypokinesis (lvef= 50-55 %). tissue doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). there is a mild resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. there is no valvular aortic stenosis. the increased transaortic velocity is likely related to high cardiac output. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , regional wall motion abnormalities are somewhat similar but overall left ventricular systolic function has improved brief hospital course: 70 yo male with three vessel cabg ( following anterior wall mi and cardiac arrest) and icd implantation, chf (ef: 25% sp mi, 50% on ), dm, cri, uric acid stones. who was found to have right ua stone. during osh course became volume overloaded requiring lasix gtt and bipap. . 1. hypoxia: initially at osh thought to be chf given occurance in the setting of ivf for nephrolithiasis. known chf with ef 40% at osh. on admission to , pt appeared to have pneumonia on ct that had presumably developed in the hospital setting, so he was started on vanc, ceftriaxone and azithro; this regimen was changed to vancomycin and zosyn on , with a plan for an 8 day course as no organisms were ever cultured from sputum, mini bal sample, blood. pt was initially managed on non-invasive ventilation, but on the pt was intubated due to worsening hypoxia, and paradoxical breathing. patient received tte on with 50-55% ef. pt was extubated on in the afternoon and tolerated 40% face tent with oxygen saturations in the low 90%. regarding vascular congestion, patient initially actively diuresised with lasix; on the floor patient allowed to autodiuresis with good uop. on the floor supplemental oxygen weaned with improved respiratory status. at time of discharge patient saturating >98% on 2l. . 2. acute on chronic renal insufficiency: patient creatinine trended up from a baseline of 1.8 to 3.4 at the outside hospital. renal consult at the osh felt this change was likely secondary to both obstruction with renal calculi and atn. after transfer to stent was placed in the right ureter with continued worsening of creatine. nephrology examined the patient's urine sediment and found muddy brown casts confirming the diagnosis of atn. initially the patient was diuresed with iv lasix and diuril before urine output increased in the setting of post atn diuresis. on the floor creatinine continued to improve, was 1.5 on discharge. diovan was held during admission. should be restarted as an outpatient. . 3. uric acid renal calculi: patient with history of uric acid stones and ct scan at outside hosptial with mild/moderate hydronephrosis on the right. at urology placed ureteral stent. urine culture without evidence of infection. will plan to follow-up with urology in coming weeks for stent exchange and likely lithetripsy. . 4.normocytic anemia: slow drop in hct at osh. hematocrit stable at . stools guaiac negative. pt does continued to have evidence of hematuria throughout stay. will need to be monitored as outpatient. did get one unit of prbcs while here with appropriate hct bump. hct stable around 30 on discharge for several days. . 5. diabetes mellitus: patient with episodes of hypoglycemia at osh on home lantus 80 units qhs and hiss. at lantus was decreased to 40 units daily. on patient reguired insulin gtt for blood sugars in 400s. finally patient was

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: status epilepticus major surgical or invasive procedure: none (intubated at an outside hospital) history of present illness: mr. is a 27 year old man with , s/p vp shunt, seizure d/o, who presents 5 days after a shunt revision with status epilepticus. per family, pt. had been in his usoh until 1 week pta (last monday). on monday they felt that he was lethargic and not as interactive as he normally is. he had frequent seizures that day, which his parents describe as brief episodes (1-2 minutes) where his body would twist to the right and would become rigid, and his eyes would "bulge out." the seizures were happening 7-8 times an hour in the 4 hours that his parents observed him that afternoon. in between he was lethargic and never got back to his normal self. they felt that his pupils were assymetric and that the right was larger and less reactive than the left. they therefore brought him to ed. there he did not have any witnessed seizure activity per his parents. he had a head ct, which the parents were told was unchanged from his last ct there several months prior. he was diagnosed with a uti and sent home. his parents were called the next day by the infirmary at the group home and told that he had no further seizures and that he was "resting comfortably" and had eaten some food. the day after that they were called and told that although he still had no further seizures, he still was quite lethargic and was not waking up. they visited him and felt that he was diaphoretic, unresponsive to his name, and not at all himself (though they agree that they did not see any further seizures) they insisted that he be brought to , where he had last had his shunt revised a year earlier. there a head ct was performed that showed hydrocephalus, and he was emergently taken to the or for shunt revision. he was monitored for 2 days after that, and discharged home on friday. his parents reports that on saturday his face was somewhat swollen on the left, and his eye was almost swollen shut. he was awake and more back to himself in terms of his mental status. they brought him back to , where they were told that it was normal post-op edema, and he was discharged back home. today, they were called because he had a protracted gtc. his father describes the seizures he saw at the osh (he was not present at the group home when the seizures started) he describes that his head was deviated r, and his eyes were deviated up and to the right. he became rigid, grunted loudly, and then started shaking his arms and legs violently. ems and osh ed records indicate that he was seizing for about 25 minutes. he received valium 15 mg pr x 2 in the field, and in the ed received valium 5 mg iv, at which point the seizures stopped. he was intubated for airway protection at 14:00, and started on a propofol drip at 14:45. he received dilantin 1 g iv load. he received ativan 2 mg iv at 17:10 prior to transport (no seizure activity noted at that point in the records) osh labs at 12:30 were significant for a depakote level of 46, tegretol level of 0.7, normal lfts, wbc ct of 12.2, and noraml chem 7. ua showed 30 protein, 250 glucose, negative ketones, le, and nitrites, and 0-2 wbcs, lg blood, and mod bacteria. past medical history: , parents has a baseline l hemiparesis and can answer some simple y/n questions, but is otherwise non-verbal seizure disorder- baseline has a gtc q3-4 months per parents vp shunt-revised 5 days pth social history: lives in group home ();

this abnormality may be seen in the context of a diffuse process involving the cortex but can also be seen in the context of a mild encephalopathy of toxic, metabolic, infectitious or anoxic etiology. finally, persistent mixed frequency slowing was noted in the right parasagittal region, suggestive of cortical and subcortical dysfunction in that region. <br> video swallow: mild oral dysphagia. no penetration or aspiration. mild premature spillover with liquids. brief hospital course: mr. is a 27-year-old man with a history of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder, and hydrocephalus s/p vp shunt placement with a vp shunt revision 5 days ago who presented to an outside hospital in status epilepticus (25 minutes of seizure activity documented); he was transferred to for further care. his hospital course by problem is as follows: 1. neuro: he was initially admitted to the neuro icu after receiving valium, being loaded with phenytoin, and being intubated at . csf showed elevated protein and mildly elevated wbc (14), and he was febrile to 104f. he was started on vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and ampicillin for empiric meningitis coverage. however, it was later determined that the protein elevation reflected trapped csf in the vp shunt and was not due to infection. neurosurgery was consulted to evaluate the vp shunt function, which was fine. his csf culture and gram stain were negative. given his high fever, the trigger was presumed to be infectious. his tegretol dose was increased from 400 to 400 tid. he was continued on depakote. efforts were made to clarify his lamictal dosing with his outpatient prescriber, but she could not be reached and so he was continued on his outpatient dose of 25 . he did not have any seizures during his hospitalization at and returned to his baseline level of function after 3 days. 2. id: pneumonia. as above, he was febrile to 104 and covered for meningitis. however, his csf cultures were negative. his chest x-ray revealed a rll opacity consistent with pneumonia; after receiving 4 days of the above antibiotics, he was given 3 days of cefpodoxime to complete a 7-day course for pneumonia. 3. fen/gi: swallowing. after sedation, he had trouble swallowing and had a nasogastric tube in place. he was cleared for full oral nutrition and medications by a video swallow study. he therefore resumed his prior diet. 4. code: full 5. dispo: he was discharged to his group home. medications on admission: senna 3 tabs colace 100 tegretol xr 400 depakote 750 fluoxetine 30 mg qd valium 15 mg pr prn seizure lamictal 25 mg trazodone 100 mg qhs discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for fever or pain. 2. carbamazepine 200 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid (3 times a day). disp:*180 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 3. lamotrigine 25 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 4. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: three (3) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 5. docusate sodium 50 mg/5 ml liquid sig: ten (10) ml po bid (2 times a day): total 100 mg. 6. fluoxetine 10 mg capsule sig: three (3) capsule po daily (daily). 7. valproate sodium 250 mg/5 ml syrup sig: ten (10) ml po q8h (every 8 hours): total 500 mg q8h. disp:*qs 1 month * refills:*2* 8. cefpodoxime 100 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q12h (every 12 hours) for 5 doses. disp:*10 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 9. medicaton valium 15 mg pr prn seizure > 5 minutes or > 3 seizures in an hour. 10. trazodone 50 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po at bedtime as needed for insomnia. discharge disposition: extended care facility: discharge diagnosis: primary: 1. seizure disorder 2. community acquired pneumonia discharge condition: stable condition. neuro exam with significant cognitive impairment but non-focal and at baseline. he has occasional vocalization and intermittently tracks examiner. no seizures since admission. discharge instructions: you have been evaluated and treated for status epilepticus, a prolonged seizure. you had your tegretol dose increased to 400 mg three times a day from twice a day. if you have any questions or concerns about your medications, please call your pcp or neurologist. please take all medications as directed and keep all follow-up appointments. if you develop further seizures that last more than 5 minutes, or if you have more than 3 seizures in an hour, or if you develop any symptom that is concerning to you, please call your pcp or your neurologist or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. followup instructions: please call your neurologist, dr. , to schedule a follow-up appointment in weeks to discuss the current regimen of seizure medications. please also call your pcp, . , at to schedule an appointment in weeks. procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours spinal tap incision of lung insertion of endotracheal tube diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified grand mal status unspecified intellectual disabilities presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

(a) bacteremia: the patient was continued on vancomycin throughout his admission. he also completed five days of gentamicin for synergy. the patient consistently had positive blood cultures on admission; however, on , he had pending negative cultures from . however, on , his white blood cell count was increasing. surveillance cultures were continued. (b) aortic valve endocarditis: the patient had a small vegetation on his aortic valve. he was evaluated by cardiothoracic surgery on . the patient was not a surgical candidate at that time since he had no abscess. the patient did have mitral regurgitation which was considered most likely due to coronary artery disease and/or left ventricular dysfunction. given the patient's multiple surgical risk factors, cardiothoracic surgery did not feel he was a candidate for valve replacement surgery at this time. they agreed with the team and infectious disease plan of six weeks of vancomycin for treatment of his endocarditis. (c) methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus/pseudomonas pneumonia: throughout the patient's admission, he was double covered for pseudomonas with gentamicin and levofloxacin. he was extubated on . he was doing well on with apparent improvement of his pneumonia clinically and on x-ray. however, he did continue to have a significant amount of secretions which were frequently suctioned. 2. l4-l5 osteomyelitis/l4 epidural abscess issues: the patient was evaluated by neurosurgery for this finding on . he was considered not to be a surgical candidate at this time as he had no evidence of cord compression and only a very small epidural abscess. per neurosurgery and infectious disease recommendations, the patient was continued on the antibiotics. 3. respiratory failure issues: the patient was supported on a ventilator from admission until . on , the patient was extubated and was doing well on cool nebulizers. the patient did have significant secretions which he suctioned with help from nursing. the patient maintained good oxygen saturations throughout the evening of and . 4. atrial fibrillation issues: the patient was not anticoagulated for his atrial fibrillation throughout this admission as there were multiple discussions with cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery regarding the possibility of a future surgery for the patient's endocarditis and/or osteomyelitis or epidural abscess. on the evening of , the patient was restarted on coumadin; receiving 5 mg by mouth times one. the patient was not currently on any rate control medications with a heart rate that had been well controlled throughout his admission. this was monitored closely. 5. nonsustained ventricular tachycardia issues: the patient had an episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia on the evening of . he was started on a beta blocker for rate control, and the patient continued to be monitored on telemetry. the electrophysiology service was not consulted as the patient was thought not to be a surgical candidate at this time. 6. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease issues: the patient's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was stable. the patient was continued on meter-dosed inhalers and nebulizers. his steroids were tapered once cord compression was ruled out. on , the patient was on prednisone. there was a plan to taper him to 30 mg by mouth every day on . 7. anemia issues: the patient received one unit of packed red blood cells on . he did have guaiac-positive stool; although, there was no gross bleeding or melena. the patient's hematocrit was followed closely throughout his admission. 8. prophylaxis issues: subcutaneous heparin, and pneumatic compression boots, and proton pump inhibitor, and a bowel regimen. 9. code status: the patient's code status is full. on at 11:33 p.m. a code blue was called regarding this patient. he was found to be pulseless with no electrical activity and in asystolic arrest. cardiopulmonary resuscitation was begun immediately. the patient was reintubated by anesthesia. he received epinephrine and atropine. in addition, one ampule of bicarbonate was given. the patient was given 10 units of insulin with 1 ampule of d-50. normal saline was administered wide open for hydration. dopamine was also given. after approximately 30 minutes, the patient continued to have no palpable pulse, and all efforts were stopped at 12:01 in the morning. it was believed that the patient's death was most likely due to either mucous plugging with subsequent cardiac arrest or primary cardiac arrest. the family was contact and notified of the patient's death. they declined an autopsy. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances diagnostic ultrasound of heart enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances cardiopulmonary resuscitation, not otherwise specified biopsy of bone, other bones diagnoses: acute respiratory failure pneumonia due to pseudomonas cardiac arrest other specified septicemias methicillin susceptible pneumonia due to staphylococcus aureus acute and subacute bacterial endocarditis intraspinal abscess acute osteomyelitis, other specified sites cerebral artery occlusion, unspecified with cerebral infarction Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 65 year old male with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, status post pacemaker placement, history of seizure disorder, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and numerous surgeries for his upper airway, who presented with hypoxia leading to generalized tonoclonic seizure. the patient has a history of tracheal stenosis malacia resulting from prolonged intubation between through and placement of tracheostomy after triple layer repair complicated by grafting section and revisions. in the patient was found to have tracheal carcinoma in-situ and underwent multiple bronchoscopies with dilation and laser resection, as well as bronchial stent placements. most recently he underwent t tube placement in and was scheduled to be replaced due to inadequate length. on the day of the admission, the patient presented with respiratory failure. per wife, on the day of admission, the patient had come to see his primary care physician and had come home without event, was resting in bed and she heard him call out her name. he was subsequently found in bed gasping for air and semi responsive. he became fully unresponsive within minutes. ems was called and size 4 eet was placed in the field. per patient's wife he did not arouse with intervention but his breathing became "more normal". per wife, the patient had identical episode two months ago in which he fell badly, had lied down in bed and began gasping for air and turning . the patient's wife could not report outcome of that episode with diagnosis or intervention. the patient was brought to emergency room where he was found to be more alert, able to follow commands, however, dysarthric, seen by pulmonary consult fellow who recommended transfer to operating room for rigid bronchoscopy. while awaiting operating room, the patient had weakness generalized tonoclonic seizure. the patient was treated with ativan and dilantin load. the patient has history of seizure disorder but most recent seizure was numerous years ago. he was taken to the operating room for removal of his tracheal stents and

complicated by seizure. his stent was removed and trach was placed in the operating room on the night of admission. during this hospitalization, the patient's issues included; 1. neurological. the patient was initially loaded with dilantin with an increase in his dose to 500 mg p.o. q.d. during this hospitalization, the patient had one additional episode where during sectioning he lowered his head and became transiently not responsive for a second. it was unclear if that episode presented a seizure or vasovagal episode during sectioning. the patient's dilantin level was monitored and was slightly subtherapeutic leading to his dilantin level to final dose of 500 mg q.d. additionally, the patient's neurontin was increased to 900 mg t.i.d. he underwent an eeg which showed diffuse slowing more on the right than on the left. 2. pulmonary. the patient initially persisted with high oxygen requirement, was febrile with productive cough and was started on broad spectrum antibiotics for possible aspiration pneumonia. once the sputum culture grew methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus the patient was changed to vancomycin. because patient persisted with diffuse pulmonary effusions on his chest x-ray he was also started on flagyl for presumed aspiration pneumonia. the patient remained with good oxygen saturations on 30-50% face . on , the patient underwent rigid bronchoscopy and t tube placement. he tolerated the procedure well. he is being discharged home with vna services for antibiotic administration for the remaining 11 days. he is to follow-up with his primary care physician, . as well as pulmonology, dr. . 3. cardiology. during this hospitalization, the patient did have an episode of transient decrease in his blood pressure to systolic of 70. it

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 61-year-old male status post fall in the background of alcohol consumption who presented to earlier in the evening. he was taken to cat scan due to a suspected possible head injury and became combative and had respiratory arrest at the cat scanner and was intubated. cat scan there revealed a large right subdural hematoma with significant midline shift. the patient received mannitol and valium en route to where he was transferred for further evaluation and treatment. his past medical history was largely unclear, though it is known that he has had multiple admissions for intoxication and resultant trauma subsequent to alcohol. the patient is homeless. the patient came into the emergency room with a head laceration on his occiput in a stellate pattern. physical examination on admission: temperature of 99.6 degrees fahrenheit, heart rate was 98, blood pressure was 141/88, respiratory rate was 12, and breathing 100 percent; currently intubated and sedated with an oral gastric tube in place. notable for an occipital laceration in a stellate type pattern. positive corneal reflexes left greater than right. pupils 4 mm bilaterally and nonreactive. positive for cough but negative for a gag reflex. heart was in a regular rate and rhythm. the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended with a large periumbilical hernia. the pulses were 2 plus in both extremities distally. the patient noted to be not moving his extremities. summary of hospital course: thus, at this time, the patient was admitted to for further evaluation and treatment. initial laboratory values drawn in the emergency room revealed a white count of 1.7, a hematocrit of 32.9, and a platelet count of 48. pt was 12.9, ptt was 22.4, and inr was 1. his potassium level was noted to be 2.8. this was repleted appropriately. on initial blood gas, he had a lactate of 3.8. an alcohol level was drawn and revealed to be 352 in the emergency room. a chest x-ray revealed the endotracheal tube to be appropriately placed with no obvious injuries. a cat scan of the head was repeated here and revealed a 14-mm right subdural hematoma with a large midline shift and ventricular compression. the patient was admitted to the trauma surgical intensive care unit. the patient was started on dilantin, and mannitol, and ativan, as well as banana bank. an arterial line was placed. goal systolic blood pressure was less than 140. the patient was maintained on the endotracheal tube. the patient was placed nothing by mouth and was given appropriate intravenous fluids - d5 normal saline with potassium repletion. platelets were transfused at this time. the patient was placed on a regular insulin sliding scale. two peripheral intravenous lines were in place at this time. a foley catheter was in place. the patient was on protonix and pneumonic boots for prophylaxis against deep venous thrombosis and gastrointestinal bleeding. the patient was noted to be a full code. the patient was transferred up to the intensive care unit from the emergency room without incident. the patient was transfused one bag of platelets as described before. the plan at this time was to wait for the patient's alcohol level to come down to zero and then evaluate further in terms of his neurologic status. the plan at this time was to provide supportive care. the patient was being actively followed by the neurosurgical team. the patient was also followed by social work who had some difficulty establishing contact with any possible next of . the attempted to call the father; however, it was found to be a wrong number. they called and did not have any further success. the goal at this time was to continue to determine who had guardianship. on hospital day three, a femoral line triple lumen was placed and a repeat head cat scan was performed that showed a severe subarachnoid hemorrhage. a subdural hematoma with extensive subfalcine transtentorial herniation while a preliminary report of brain perfusion scan at this time showed almost normal flow. mannitol was stopped for increasing hyperosmolarity. neurosurgery met and discussed the patient and decided it was not appropriate to intervene any further. the organ bank was notified, and proceeded to screen the patient. the patient was also started on levophed at this time for a hypotensive episode and a right femoral line was placed as described above. the patient was not responding to verbal stimulation. he was off all sedation and was withdrawing to pain. however, his pupils remained fixed and dilated with no corneal reflex at this time. the social work service continued to search for possible next of without success. on hospital day four - - an insulin drip was started. the patient was noted to be somewhat hemodynamically labile, and hence levophed could not be stopped. diamox was stopped as it was considered to be a possible cause of the drop in blood pressure and the patient's requirement for pressor support. supportive care was continued. at this time, the patient's pupils were noted to be 5 mm bilaterally and nonreactive. there were no movements of the upper extremities. there was only reflex response of the lower extremities with cough but no gag and no corneal reflexes. the decision was made at this time after a lengthy discussion amongst the trauma and intensive care unit staff to provide comfort measures only due to severe head injury and poor prognosis for recovery. a morphine drip was started. pressors were removed and pressure support ventilation was initiated. the patient expired at 11:25 a.m. on in the intensive care unit. at this time, social work was still not able to locate any next of . final diagnoses: 1. severe fall, status post alcohol consumption. 2. severe head injury with large subdural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhages. , m.d. procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified insertion of endotracheal tube diagnoses: open wound of scalp, without mention of complication acute myocardial infarction of anterolateral wall, initial episode of care subdural hemorrhage following injury without mention of open intracranial wound, unspecified state of consciousness alcohol abuse, continuous fall from other slipping, tripping, or stumbling respiratory arrest Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

acute intracranial pathology. 2. mucosal thickening within the left maxillary sinus and ethmoid air cells consistent with sinus disease. eeg : this is an abnormal continuous icu eeg monitoring study because of mild diffuse background slowing and excessive beta activity. these findings are indicative of mild diffuse cerebral dysfunction which is etiologically non-specific. excessive beta activity is likely a medication effect. no epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures are present. one clinical episode of minor myoclonic jerking of her head had no eeg correlate. compared to the prior day's recording, there is no significant change. brief hospital course: primary reason for hospitalization: 51 year old woman with a h/o depression s/p purposeful suicide attempt after taking multiple pills, intubated for increasing lethargy, with hypotension and seizures. active diagnoses: # drug overdose: the patient was known to have purposefully ingested multiple medications and an unknown amount of alcohol. she was admitted to the icu and aggressively resuscitated with interventions including intubation/mechanical ventilation, central iv access, vasopressor support, iv fluids, and nutrition support. toxicology was consulted. she was given n-acetyl-cysteine therapy for acetaminophen toxicity. the patient stabilized, was extubated, and had her central line removed before being transferred to the general medicine floor. the patient was also monitored on a ciwa protocol for alcohol withdrawal. it was determined that her polypharmacy ingestion included: acetaminophen, citalopram, buproprion, amoxicilin, clonazepam, methocarbamol, and etoh. the patient can be evaluated at followup with her primary care physician to evaluate and manage any residual effects of these substances. # seizures secondary to overdose: in the micu the patient experienced generalized tonic-clonic seizures, likely secondary to her buproprion or citalopram ingestion. she was already intubated and required a midazolam drip to break the seizure. she was evaluated by neurology, and an eeg was completed. the finalized results were pending at the time of discharge; however the neurology team attributed her neurological symptoms to her exogenous substances and the patient was asymptomatic with no tremors at time of discharge. there are no specific followup requirements from a neurology perspective. # anemia of unclear origin: the patient was found to have hct 33.5 which remained relatively stable during her stay, but with an unclear baseline. the patient had no evidence of gi or other bleeding during her stay and did not require blood product transfusions. her anemia can be further investigated by her primary care physician as an outpatient. # suicide attempt, secondary to mood disorder: the patient was evaluated by psychiatry, who recommended inpatient psychiatric treatment once medically stable for discharge. the patient was placed on a section 12 hold and 1:1 observation throughout her admission. her home psychiatric medications were held. she was discharged to an inpatient psychiatric facility. transitional issues: she was transferred to an inpatient psychiatric unit for treatment of the conditions underlying the intentional suicide attempt. the patient's family has been visiting the hospital and is aware of the plan. the patient remains full code. medications on admission: clonazepam 2 mg tabs 1-2 tabs qhs buproprion 300 mg po qam methocarbamol 500-1000mg q4h prn citalopram 40 mg qam discharge medications: 1. folic acid 1 mg po daily

you were admitted due to overdose of your medications, which caused you to become very lethargic, your breathing to slow down, and your blood pressure to drop. you were admitted to the intensive care unit with a breathing tube to assist your ventilations, and received iv fluids as well as medications to maintain your blood pressure and prevent toxic effects of the substances. you also had a seizure, which we stopped with iv medications. once you were stable, we removed the breathing tube and moved you to a general medical floor. you were also evaluated by psychiatry regarding the events leading to your hospital stay, and after being medically stable you were transferred to care under their recommendations. followup instructions: we recommend inpatient treatment at a specialized psychiatry facility to treat your depression. we also recommend you followup with your primary care physician as soon as possible. procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than

hld, retinal detachment who presented to the ed early this morning after syncopal event at home, was admitted to the floor and noted to have a brief episode of asymptomatic atrioventricular conduction dissociation x2. she had returned from 2 days ago, noted feeling weak and fatigued starting last night. around 4am this morning, when patient got up to go to bathroom at home, she started coughing, felt increased shortness of breath, became lightheaded, vision darkened around periphery, and she fell, losing consciousness briefly. she awoke on the floor and called her daughter; she was unclear of how long she was out, but she feels that it was brief. she denied chest pain/pressure, palpitations, headache, urinary incontinence, nausea, vomiting. she has been having loose stools today. she has not had prior episodes of syncope. she has had decreased po intake secondary reduced appetite. she does not recall any sick contacts. she was in for 5 weeks until saturday. she denies having fevers at

rr 16, and spo2 100% on ra. labs were notable for an elevated wbc count of 11.0 with neutrophil predominance and anion gap of 15. her cxr was unremarkable. d-dimer was elevated to 897, so cta was done which was negative for pe and also showed no consolidation. head ct was negative. patient later spiked a fever to 102.1 in the ed with no clear source. blood and urine cultures were sent; no antibiotics were started because there was no clear source of infection. . on the floor, patient was monitored on telemetry with heart rates mostly in the 80s-90s. at 18:04, she was noted to have a transient av dissociation lasting 6 seconds with regularly conducting p-waves and no ventricular escape, then another 4 second episode with 4 beats normal sinus rhythm in between. she then returned to her native rhythm with rate 80s. patient was asymptomatic during this time and vital signs were stable. cardiology was consulted, and patient was transfered to ccu for placement of temporary pacemaker

presented after a syncopal event with prodrome the morning of admission, found to have fever and paroxysmal av disassociation. . # paroxsymal av disassociation: etiology was unclear, but lesion was likely infranodal as the pr intervals are not increased and av disassociation was complete. temporary pacemaker was placed. patient was conducting normally through native system at rate 80s. given travel, fever and diarrhea, and time of year infectious etiologies including lyme, malaria and myocarditis, were considered but infectious work-up is negative to date. ischemic etiology was unlikely, given troponins were flat. home atenolol was not likely to have contributed, as pr intervals and rr intervals are not prolonged, just sudden paroxysmal episodes of chb with no ventricular escape. based on ekg findings, it was felt that the episode of syncope was not vagal. decision was made to place permanent pacemaker (dual chamber), which was successfully placed on . pt did not experience any complications during procedure and was able to leave icu and got to the floor. . # syncopal event: event was proceeded by a clear prodrome. there was conern that this may have been vagal micturition syncope, or orthostatic (poor po intake and insensible losses with diarrhea). although this may have been an initial contributory factor, ep felt that episode was likely due to of paroxsymal heart block that caused her to syncopize, given similar findings seen on telemetry today (suggestive of phase 4 block). cxr, cta, and head ct in the ed were all unremarkable. unlikely seizure as there was no post-ictal state and she has no history of epilepsy. as above, decision was made to place a permanent dual chamber pacemaker. . # fever: source unknown and infectious work-up was unrevealing to date. patient just returned from a 5 week trip to ; infectious source most likely gastroenteritis. stool studies were sent and are still pending; her primary care physician at will have access to the records online. patient did have new cough, but no pneumonia or cavitary lesions were seen on cxr. ua showed hematuria but no nitrites or leukocyte esterase. fever curve downtrended and normalized by the time of discharge. . # htn: hctz and atenolol were held on initial presentation; patient was continued home lisinopril. she was restarted on home atenolol dose post pacemaker. . # anion gap: anion gap of 15 upon admission was likely due to mild lactic acidosis in setting of syncope, fall and decreased po intake over past few days related to diarrhea, fever. no signs of uremia, etoh, dka, or other toxic ingestion. improved w/ivf and supportive care. . # hematuria: likely secondary to trauma from catheterization. ua negative for nitrites, leuk esterase. no casts. . pt was full code during this admission. pt is speaking and interpreter was used for consent. . medications on admission: aspirin 81 mg po daily atenolol 25 mg po daily hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg po daily
