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 78-year-old male with a past medical history significant for myelodysplastic syndrome diagnosed eight years ago and multiple basal cell carcinomas who presented with a 3-day history of dark red/bloody urine. the patient also complained of a painful skin lesion on the left flank. regarding the hematuria, the patient reported painless hematuria with urine that was essentially dark red and never grossly bloody times one week. he denied any history of trauma as well as any dysuria, increased urinary frequency, hesitancy, or difficulty voiding. he also denied abdominal pain. the patient denied bright red blood per rectum, melena, hematemesis, hemoptysis, or epistaxis. he did admit to easy bruising and prolonged time to clot. the patient reported that his myelodysplastic syndrome had been stable until the spring of this year when he started to feel very tired and lethargic. he had started receiving weekly packed red blood cell transfusions seven weeks prior to admission and had started weekly epogen injections three weeks prior to admission. the patient was status post a bone marrow biopsy on that showed decreased erythroid elements with occasional dysplastic forms and decreased myeloid elements with limited maturation. however, there was no evidence of progression to acute leukemia. regarding the skin lesions, the patient reports that the left flank lesion first appeared three to four weeks prior to admission and that over the past week it had become increasingly tender. he says the lesion started out looking like a blister and then "popped." the patient is unsure of the nature of the fluid that it drained. the patient also has a left axillary lesion which he says started out like a blister and has been present for three to four days prior to admission. in the emergency department, the patient received one dose of gentamicin and oxacillin. he was also transfused with 2 units of packed red blood cells and 1 unit of fresh frozen plasma. he was also given potassium chloride. past medical history: 1. myelodysplastic syndrome diagnosed eight years ago; recently transfusion dependent. 2. gout. 3. basal cell carcinoma. 4. squamous cell carcinoma. 5. question history of inferior wall myocardial infarction. past surgical history: mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma. social history: the patient is a former psychologist at . he is separated from his wife of 14 years. he has seven children. he drinks occasional alcohol. he has a 50 plus year history of cigar smoking and quit six to seven months ago. family history: his family history is significant for a daughter with diabetes. he had a brother who died of leukemia at the age of three and father who died of heart disease. medications on admission: his medications included epogen 20,000 units every tuesday, colchicine as needed, multivitamin with iron, and tylenol as needed. allergies: he has no known drug allergies. physical examination on presentation: the patient's vital signs on presentation were as follows; temperature was 100.6, heart rate was 88, respiratory rate was 24, blood pressure was 107/63, oxygen saturation was 97% on 2 liters. the patient's physical examination on presentation was as follows; in general, he was a pale-appearing elderly male. he was in no apparent distress. his head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed sclerae were anicteric. his conjunctivae were pale. his oropharynx was clear. there was no thyromegaly, and no cervical lymphadenopathy, and no jugular venous distention. his lungs revealed bibasilar crackles. his heart examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm with a 2/6 systolic murmur. his abdomen was soft and nontender, with positive bowel sounds. he also had a palpable spleen tip. his back revealed no costovertebral angle tenderness. on his skin were multiple facial telangiectasias. his nose appeared slightly disfigured which was consistent with prior mohr surgery. he had multiple pink plaques, some with overlying scales distributed overlying scale distributed over his back, arms, and legs bilaterally. on his left flank was a well demarcated 7-cm to 8-cm indurated pink plaque with an area of central necrosis. he had a similar-appearing 5-cm to 6-cm pink plaque under his left axilla which; both of which were extremely tenderness to palpation. neurologically, he was alert and oriented times three. he had no focal deficits. his rectal examination revealed occult-blood positive brown stool. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: his laboratories on admission were as follows; complete blood count revealed a white blood cell count of 3.9, his hematocrit was 19.8, with a mean cell volume of 87. of note, the patient had a hematocrit of 25.8 three days prior to admission. his platelet count was 15. the differential of his white blood cell count was as follows; 27% polys, no bands, and 51% lymphocytes. his chemistry-7 was as follows; sodium was 132, potassium was 2.7, chloride was 98, bicarbonate was 22, blood urea nitrogen was 30, creatinine was 1.4, and blood glucose was 105. the patient's baseline creatinine is 1.1 to 1.2. the patient's coagulations were as follows; pt was 15.2, ptt was 41.9, inr was 1.6. the patient had a reticulocyte count that was sent in the emergency department and came back at 0.7. his urinalysis revealed brown cloudy urine, with large blood; it was nitrite positive, protein was greater than 300, glucose was negative, ketones were trace, there was a small amount of bilirubin, a moderate amount of leukocyte esterase; his red blood cell count was greater than 1000 with 3 to 5 white blood cells and many bacteria. there was also occasional uric acid crystals noted. blood cultures and urine cultures were sent from the emergency department on which were negative. hospital course: the hospital course related chronologically was as follows. on the evening of , he was admitted to the cc seven. he was initially treated with dicloxacillin for his skin lesions and started on intravenous ciprofloxacin for question pyelonephritis given the infectious-appearing urinalysis. it was unclear whether the patient's presentation with pancytopenia was secondary to blasts crisis; although, this was felt to be unlikely given that he has had a recent bone marrow biopsy which was negative for blasts, and his peripheral smear was also negative for blasts. his coagulopathy was treated with transfusions of fresh frozen plasma and vitamin k. on , the patient was seen by his outpatient hematologist who questioned whether the patient's skin lesions and hematuria could be secondary to septic emboli. the patient was ordered to get a transthoracic echocardiogram which he refused on several occasions. his antibiotics were also changed from dicloxacillin to oxacillin. on , the patient's coagulations were all evaluated despite vitamin k, and there was noted to be minimal correction of the anemia and thrombocytopenia despite transfusions. a disseminated intravascular coagulation screen was sent off and found to be positive. a dermatology consultation was also called on this day for help in evaluating the skin lesions. they felt that the lesions were most consistent with a neutrophilic dermatosis such as pyodermic gangrenosum versus sweet's disease which has a high incidence in myelodysplastic syndrome. also on the differential diagnosis was exanthematic gangrenosum due to pseudomonas infection as well as a deep fungal infection and cutaneous leukemia/lymphoma. the left axillary lesion was biopsied and sent for bacterial, and fungal, and atypical mycobacterial cultures. the dermatology consultation agreed with intravenous antibiotics. on , the patient was felt to be functionally neutropenic; and given the question of pseudomonas infection, he was started on intravenous ceftazidime. he was also continued on intravenous oxacillin. the infectious disease service was consulted regarding the disseminated intravascular coagulation and choice of antibiotics. they agreed with ongoing ceftazidime and oxacillin. on their differential was bacterial infections; namely furunculosis or xanthomatous granulosum. they also considered sporotrichum infections, mycobacterial infections, tick-borne diseases. they also considered sweet's disease in malignancy associated conditions. they recommended a ct of the abdomen if the workup was unrevealing. a renal ultrasound was also performed on which showed multiple stones in the collecting system, but no evidence of hydronephrosis or renal abscess. on , the patient's skin biopsy gram stain revealed 2+ polys and no organisms, and the aerobic culture grew out coagulase-positive staphylococcus. at that point, it was decided to treat the patient for 10 days with intravenous oxacillin. the preliminary pathology report on the skin biopsy was as follows; clusters of plasma cells with infiltrative lymphocytes and neutrophils. on the differential was pyoderma versus infection versus plasma cell neoplasm. on , a serum protein electrophoresis and urine protein electrophoresis; which had been sent out earlier in the week, came back positive for monoclonal spike in the spep and two abnormal bands on the upep. a monoclonal intact immunoglobulin g lambda and monoclonal free lambda ( -). these results were discussed with the patient's outpatient hematologist who agreed with consulting the inpatient hematology service. the hematology service recommended starting the patient on decadron but holding off on melphalan. they said that overall, the association between myelodysplastic syndrome and multiple myeloma is not known, but they felt that people with malignancy and myeloma could develop severe disseminated intravascular coagulation which was consistent with the patient's clinical picture. on , the patient had a ct of the abdomen, chest, and pelvis to look for sources of occult infection. the ct of the chest was significant for a 1.2-cm nodule in the right upper lung adjacent to the major fissure. the ct of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a 1.2-cm cyst in the body of the pancreas. there was no lymphadenopathy that was noted in the mediastinum, in the axilla, or in the pelvis. on , the patient's diagnosis of myeloma was questioned by dr. (who was the patient's outpatient hematologist), and it was felt that the monoclonal spike most likely represented myoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance rather than myeloma. at that point, the steroids were discontinued, and the decision was made to repeat the skin biopsy given the questionable read of plasmacytoma. in the meantime, the infectious disease workup continued; and - virus, cytomegalovirus, cryptococcal, and coccidia serologies were checked; which all came back as negative. also, babesia thick and thin smears were checked given a history of transfusions. on , the ceftazidime was discontinued after eight days secondary to no known organisms. the patient developed increasing transfusion dependence. previously, he had only required transfusions prior to procedure. at this point, he required transfusions to stop bleeding from his intravenous sites and from his biopsy sites. on , the patient had frank bleeding from his skin biopsy site that required two hours of manual pressure and resuturing to achieve hemostasis. also, the issues of access were raised given that the patient had only one peripheral intravenous line and was in need of multiple blood products. at that point, a peripherally inserted central catheter line was placed in interventional radiology. also, on the evening of , the patient had an adverse reaction while getting transfused with cryoprecipitate. on , the patient had a repeat bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. at that point, it was felt that given that the skin biopsies were nondiagnostic that the question of whether the patient was transforming into an acute leukemia needed to be readdressed. this bone marrow biopsy returned the week later and was consistent with myelodysplastic syndrome with no evidence of acute leukemia. subsequently, from to , the patient continued to require aggressive blood product support through his disseminated intravascular coagulation with daily transfusions of platelets, packed red blood cells, cryoprecipitate, and fresh frozen plasma. disseminated intravascular coagulation laboratories were checked twice a day, and factors and cells were replaced liberally as the patient continued to ooze through his peripherally inserted central catheter site and biopsy sites. on , the patient became acutely hypotensive with a systolic blood pressure in the 90s. he was also symptomatic and complaining of lightheadedness. the patient was boluses with fluids and received blood products with a return of his blood pressure to the 140s. he had a repeat episode on , to which he again responded to fluids and blood products. on , the patient's repeat skin biopsy was read as consistent with intracellular organisms. toxoplasmosis stains done were positive, and the diagnosis of cutaneous toxoplasmosis was made with a question of toxoplasma-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation. on , the patient was started on medications for toxoplasmosis consisting of sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine, and folinic acid. he was also started on g-csf given his profound neutropenia and the possibility of a granulocytosis with a sulfa regimen. multiple urine cultures from to were positive for enterococcus. the infectious disease consultants felt that this was most likely a contaminant and was not initially treated. however, on , the patient was started on vancomycin for an enterococcus urinary tract infection. on the morning of , the patient had multiple sets of blood cultures which came back positive as gram-positive cocci in pairs and clusters. he had also been spiking fevers, and this was felt to be secondary to staphylococcus bacteremia. the patient was maintained on his toxoplasmosis medications as well as vancomycin. he was also on flagyl at this point for stools positive for clostridium difficile. on the evening of , the patient complained of chest pain. the night float intern was called to see the patient, and an electrocardiogram was checked which was unchanged. his chest pain was treated with sublingual nitroglycerin, morphine, and ativan. several hours later, the patient again complained of chest pain, and at this time was markedly tachypneic with a respiratory rate in the 30s and a heart rate in the 100s. a blood gas was checked at this time which revealed a respiratory alkalosis with a large aa gradient. there was concern that the patient may have had a pulmonary embolism. an electrocardiogram was checked which showed ischemic changes across the precordium as well as in the lateral leads. troponin were cycled and found to be elevated. on examination, the patient was found to be in an irregular rhythm. an electrocardiogram was again checked, and that showed that the patient was in atrial fibrillation. he had previously, throughout the course of the admission, been in a normal sinus rhythm. the patient was also tachycardic to the 180s and was given intravenous diltiazem with minimal effect. the medical intensive care unit service was consulted and recommended cardioversion with amiodarone. however, the amiodarone could not be administered on the floor, and the patient required transfer to the medical intensive care unit for cardioversion. in the intensive care unit, on amiodarone, the patient did cardioverted back to sinus rhythm. he was also placed with a femoral line given that his peripherally inserted central catheter line was infected and felt to be the source of his staphylococcus bacteremia. on the evening of , the patient was transferred back from the medical intensive care unit to the floor initially in sinus rhythm; however, the patient converted back to atrial fibrillation shortly thereafter. on the following day, the sensitivities of the patient's blood cultures revealed the organisms were resistant to oxacillin, and the patient was continued on vancomycin. it was noted that his disseminated intravascular coagulation appeared to be stabilized. the patient was requiring fewer blood transfusions and was maintaining his counts for longer periods of time status post transfusions. however, it was notable that from a mental status standpoint, the patient was becoming quite frustrated with the number of complications that he was facing and was increasingly less optimistic about his prognosis. previously during the admission, in fact it was on , the patient; in consultation with his son and with his attending, decided on a do not resuscitate/do not intubate code status. this was later changed to comfort measures only on . his house officer, his attending, and his consultants related the fact that while his overall prognosis was poor, that he was actually showing signs of improvement regarding his disseminated intravascular coagulation and his staphylococcus infection. however, while the patient expressed a clear understanding of this, he wanted to continue with his decision to be comfort measures only. at that point, all intravenous fluids, medications, blood draws, and blood product support were withdrawn. he was ordered for intravenous morphine as needed, and for intravenous ativan, and valium as needed. social work and the palliative care service were involved with helping the patient deal with this decision and helping the family also cope with the imminent loss of their father. note: there will be an addendum that will be added at a later date. ,

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: patient was initially evaluated in the emergency room for a complaint of left flank pain, which has been present intermittently for several months. she also has noted difficulty with visual changes and focusing. the flank pain occurs with eating. it has been more frequent over the last 3 days. she has also noted blurry vision with difficulty focusing. she denies any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, melena, fever, chills, chest pain, or shortness of breath. patient was initially evaluated in the emergency room and admitted to the medical service for continued care. allergies: sulfa, manifestations unknown. medications: prilosec, darvocet, metoprolol, metformin, lisinopril, diltiazem, zocor, aspirin, niacin, and cartia. illnesses: insulin-dependent diabetes with neuropathy and a right foot ulceration, history of hypertension, history of uti vre infection treated. social history: the patient lives at home alone. she denies tobacco, alcohol, or drug use. physical exam: vital signs: 98.9, 71, 18, 154/67, and oxygen saturation 98% on room air. general appearance: elderly female in no acute distress sitting up in bed. heent exam is unremarkable. there is no jvd. lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart is a regular rate and rhythm. abdomen is obese with bowel sounds. it is nontender and left lower quadrant pain cannot be re-elicited. extremities are without edema with bilateral foot ulcers. neurological: a visual field deficit by confrontation. other than the visual changes, no other focal motor deficits. admitting labs: white count 8.0, hematocrit of 34.1, platelets of 174 k, bun 26, creatinine 1.0. urinalysis: positive for protein and glucose. ck was 77 with troponin 0.01. inr was 1.2. chest x-ray was without acute process. hospital course: neurology was consulted for the visual field changes. patient was evaluated by the stroke service for her right visual neglect. a mri was done, which showed a posterior subsulcus changes lateral to the thalamus, chronic microvascular disease. there was no acute bleed. they felt that the findings were probably to microembolization versus small vessel disease. patient was transferred to the neurology service. tte was also recommended in telemetry. patient was started on aggrenox 1 b.i.d. and maintained a systolic blood pressure of 120. taper blood pressure medications as needed. speech therapy, pt, and ot consults. patient had an echocardiogram done, which showed mild left atrial enlargement. the right atrium and intra-atrial septum was mildly dilated. there was normal intra-atrial septum. there was no asd or pfo by 2-d color doppler or saline contrast maneuvers. left ventricle was normal in wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function with an ejection fraction of 55%. there was no lv mass or thrombus. the right ventricle was normal. the aorta and aortic valve, mitral valves were mildly thickened, but not stenotic, and no mitral regurgitation or mitral valve prolapse. the tricuspid valve was normal with trivial tricuspid regurgitation, normal pa systolic pressures. there was no pericardial effusion. essentially, there was no source for cardiac emboli seen. patient underwent carotid ultrasounds, which demonstrated a 60-69% left internal carotid artery stenosis with heterogeneous calcified plaque. there was no significant right internal carotid stenosis. it was graded at less than 40%. ct of the abdomen demonstrated uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis without evidence of frank perforation or abscess. a nodular liver with enlargement of the caudate lobe consistent with cirrhosis and a low attenuation focus was too small to be characterized. initial head ct showed no acute intracranial hemorrhage or infarct. mr of the head was attained, which demonstrated restricted diffusion in the left optic radiation anterior to the occipital of the left lateral ventricle. there was also noted right flare images. a combination of signal patterns would suggest subacute infarct. there are a few discrete foci and confluent areas of t2 hyperintensity within the periventricular deep and subcortical white matter of both cerebral hemispheres consistent with small chronic vessel disease. there is also evidence of foci of prior hemorrhagic infections. there are anterolisthesis of c2 on c3 likely due to degenerative changes. mra of the carotids and head was obtained, which demonstrated severe stenosis of the left common carotid artery before its bifurcation. there was moderate stenosis of the right common carotid artery before its bifurcation. there was a slight irregularity of the left proximal vertebral artery, which may represent atherosclerotic disease versus tortuous vessel. vascular consult was placed on . he was seen by vascular attending, dr. , who felt that a left carotid endarterectomy was indicated. patient was also evaluated by pt and ot, who felt that acute rehab is recommended for the patient before being discharged to home. patient was also evaluated by speech and swallow evaluation for aphasia screening and bedside swallowing evaluation. the speech-swallow findings were there was auditory comprehension, mildly impaired with decreased auditory comprehension as material presented increased in length or complexity. expressive language appeared to be mild-to- moderately impaired. verbal output is fluent. phase length, grammatic form, and melodic line were within normal limits. patient's repetition of words and sentences were normal. responsive naming was normal and confrontation naming was mildly impaired. expository speech output was noted for frequent word retrieval difficulty, and speech was characterized occasional pneumonic paraphasic errors. recommendations that the patient would require complete cognitive-linguistic evaluation and treatment at an acute level rehab. swallow study: the patient did not demonstrate swallowing impairment or aspiration, and that a regular diet could be continued and medications could be given with thick liquids. patient underwent on a left carotid endarterectomy without complications. she was transferred to the pacu in stable condition. the patient was evaluated by cardiology preoperatively and stressed. patient's persantine mibi demonstrated left ventricular cavity and normal size. stress perfusion images revealed mildly decreased tracer uptake in the inferior wall. these changes reversible on rest images. gated images revealed normal wall motion, calculated ejection fraction was 52%. cardiology reviewed the results of the stress test and felt the patient was at moderate risk for surgery and that we could plan surgery to continue beta-blockade. the patient's postoperative course from a cardiac standpoint was unremarkable. the patient was transferred to the pacu to the vicu for continued monitoring and care. postoperative day 1, wounds were evaluated and there was no hematoma. patient was neurologically stable. patient was started on an insulin drip for hyperglycemia. she was followed by dr. for diabetic management, and her insulin dosing was adjusted. diet was advanced as tolerated, and fluids were hep locked. patient's preoperative medications were restarted. patient would be discharged to acute rehab when medically stable. discharge medications:

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: wheezing and somnolence major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 64 yo m with complex medical history including history of copd and complex sleep disordered breathing. presented to hospital on from after three days of cough, dyspnea, and loss of appetite. as outpatient he was thought to have pneumonia and was started on levofloxacin with addition of ceftriaxone earlier today when there was no improvement in symptoms. initial labwork at facility showed a leukocytosis of 15.7 with 14% bands and a new elevation in cr up to 2.4. additionally had hypoxemia with o2 sat down to 79%. at that point nrb was applied and patient was transferred to ed. . on the medical floor, the primary team was treating primarily for copd exacerbation and hcap. as patient's breathing was appearing labored around 2200, an abg was 7.34/67/63. given that patient appeared to have a baseline pco2 around 80 in of this year, team opted for close monitoring through the night. at approximately 0200 today, the patient was triggered for increasing somnolence and tachypnea. the covering nightfloat intern performed two separate abgs which showed a trend toward worsening acidosis with serial measures of 7.32/74/80 at 0054 today and 7.28/79/77 at 0147 today. given this trend, decision was made to tranfer to the micu for non-invasive ventilation. patient was afebrile and normotensive on floor. of note, patient has a diagnosis of complex sleep disordered breathing with recent bipap titration in sleep lab on . was initially diagnosed with sleep disordered breathing during inpatient admission in 12/. . while in the micu, the patient was started on a 10-day course of vancomycin/cefepime and 5-day course of azithromycin. he was also re-started on his home bipap. his hypoxemia improved, and he was transferred back to the medical floor. . the patient remained stable on the medical floor and reported subjective improvement in his breathing. his o2sat's remained stable on supplemental oxygen, and he remained afebrile without leukocytosis. when he returned to the medical floor, a hyperkeratotic, hyperpigmented, raised, demarcated patch was noted on his left lower extremity. we will recommend that the patient be followed on an out-patient basis by dermatology.

medical history including history of copd and complex sleep disordered breathing. presented to hospital with clinical history of pneumonia and then developed somnolence on medical floor in setting of suspected copd exacerbation. transferred to the micu due to increasing somnolence and respiratory acidosis, started on bipap and vancomycin/cefepime/azithromycin antibiotic regimen, then returned to the medical floor with stable o2sats on supplemental oxygen. . #. acute on chronic hypercapneic respiratory failure: patient with history of copd and complex sleep disordered breathing as well as obesity which all are likely contributing to acute presentation of respiratory failure. patient was not ordered for home bipap while on medical floor and this likely contributed to his inability to maintain adequate ventilation. upon night of admission the patient was triggered for increasing somnolence and tachypnea. two separate abgs showed a trend toward worsening acidosis with serial measures of 7.32/74/80 and 7.28/79/77. given this trend, decision was made to tranfer to the micu for non-invasive ventilation. his worsening resp status was attributed to lack of bipap and he was placed back on bipap. he also did have evidence of a rul pneumonia on cxr. given bandemia prior to presentation and tachypnea as well as somnolence, we broadened to pseudomonal coverage. he was treated with cefepime, vancomycin, and azithromycin. for his copd, he was given a steroid burst prednisone 40mg x 6 days and continued on nebs. resp status improved and he was neither tachypneic nor somnolent and had oxygen saturations in the 90s by time of discharge. . #. acute on chronic renal failure: cr on admission was 3.1, up from his baseline of 1.8. pt appeared clinically hypovolemic but his febun of 36% argued against prerenal etiology. his home lasix was held. cr improved to 1.7 by time of discharge with minimal iv fluids. . #. pe history: pt was not tachycardic and ekg did not show changes corresponding to acute pe. he did, however, have a history of pe and was on coumadin. inr was subtherapeutic at 1.2 on admission. he was started on a heparin drip to bridge to coumadin. his coumadin was initially started at 7.5mg and increased to 10mg. his dose was reduced again to 5.0mg and his inr=3.1 on discharge. . #. diabetes: no acute issues. he was maintained on hiss. . #. coronary artery disease: no acute issues. he was continued on his aspirin and beta blocker. he was not on a statin for unclear reasons. . #. bipolar / schizophrenia: no acute issues. he was continued on his home risperidone, oxcarbazepine, and divalproex . #left leg lesion and leg ulcerations: no interventions made while in house, but would consider outpatient dermatology follow up for raised

bilateral pleural effusions. absence of intravenous contrast limits evaluation of the abdominal parenchymal organs and vasculature. there is ct evidence of anemia. liver is nodular in contour, and slightly shrunken, consistent with reported history of cirrhosis. there is an ill-defined hypodensity in segment iv (2, 19), which is incompletely characterized without iv contrast. there is pneumobilia, as well as air within the gallbladder lumen. gallbladder is also filled partially with oral contrast, which appears to have entered the gallbladder via a fistulous connection from the second portion of the duodenum. in this region, the duodenum is markedly thickened, with prominent peri-duodenal inflammatory stranding. air and oral contrast material is also seen in the distal common bile duct. there is soft tissue prominence in the region of the ampulla, though no definite nodule or mass is seen, and this prominence may be post-procedural related to recent eus. there are prominent porta hepatis, and peripancreatic lymph nodes, but the non-contrast appearance of the pancreas itself is unremarkable. pancreatic duct is not dilated. there are no pancreatic calcifications.

history of etoh/ hep c cirrhosis, abuse who presented from osh with coffee ground emesis, and found to have duodenal ulcers and pneumobilia. upper endoscopy at osh revealed two duodenal ulcers, one which had appeared to be perforated or fistulized. hepatology was consulted and recommended pantoprazole iv drip and octreotide. the octreotide was discontinued after one day. he was given dilaudid for pain. ciprofloxacin and metronidazole were started. surgery was consulted and recommended repeat abdominal ct. ct revealed pneumobilia, with air and oral contrast in gallbladder and cbd, which was thought to be most commmon with fistulous connection between the duodenal ulcer and gallbladder. he was transferred to the surical service on his third hospital day. on , he was given vitamin k 10mg iv x1 on , in preparation for surgery, given his inr was 1.9. he underwent cholecystectomy with closure of cholecystoduodenal fistula for duodenal ulcer with cholecystoduodenal fistula. surgeon was dr. . please see operative note for complete details. operative findings included cirrhotic liver with some ascites and the gallbladder was quite inflamed as was the entire porta. per the op note, "dissection was quite difficult and bloody given the patient's inflammation and cirrhosis. we were able to get around the fistula and the fistula was transected revealing a hole in the duodenum of approximately 1 cm." 4 silk sutures were used to close the duodenal hole. details of the sutures were then used to fix the omentum down over this as a patch. an ng and jp drain were placed. postop, he was sent to the sicu for management. jp drainage was sanguinous.he was transfused with blood products to keep hemodynamics stable. hematocrits stabilized. lfts increased though, but later trended down. daily lactulose enemas were started on pod 1 as he was npo and on bowel rest. tpn was started. iv methadone (10mg q 12 hours) was started to assist with pain control as well as iv dilaudid and ativan prn for agitation given h/o substance abuse. last etoh use was approx 1 yr ago. heroin use iv earlier this month. he did not have signs/symptoms of withdrawl on admission though he was given ativan for anxiety. he was given multivitamins, thiamine, and folic acid. he became increasingly confused/disoriented with o2 desats with pca use. pca was held and dose decreased with improvement. on , he was transferred to the med- unit where npo status and ng continued. ng was removed on . sips were started on . the volume of jp drainage decreased to ~ 110cc/day and became more consistent with ascites fluid. he continued to have waxing/ delerium. lactulose enemas continued and rifaximin was started on . methadone wean was started and weaned off by . ativan and dilaudid doses were decreased with ativan later discontinued but restarted due to anxiety issues. he continued to have a 1:1 sitter to prevent removal of the ng/iv until . lfts trended down and cbc/lytes remained stable on tpn. he became much more clear and the sitter was able to be stopped the jp drainage decreased and the drain was removed on as output was 110cc of straw colored fluid for the previous 24 hours. prolene stitch placed to lrq due to excessive drainage through dressings. stitch to be removed as an outpatient. a picc line was inserted in the left arm. this site became swollen and an us was done to evaluate for dvt. this us revealed a thrombosed left basilic vein with picc line in place. no thrombus in the deep veins of the left arm or in the central veins were noted. tpn continued thru then was d/c'd on as well as the picc line as he tolerated diet advancement. pt was consulted and recommended using a cane for safety. he was cleared for discharge with outpatient continued pt to work on safety, strength and balance. he is ambulating independently with the cane, but required reminders to use the cane as he would forget to use. antibiotics were stopped on (flagyl, ampicillin and cipro). he remained afebrile. the patient has a history of seizure disorder, but not history of seizures while withdrawing in past. he was managed on oral neurontin at home. neurontin was switched to iv keppra and then to po which is his discharge medication. no seizures were noted during this hospital stay. lasix, spironolactone and inderal were restarted at the end of the hospitalization for cirrhosis management.

head ct:1. right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage with surrounding edema. the differential diagnosis for etiology of intraparenchymal hemorrhage includes traumatic hemorrhage (contusion) or primary intraparenchymal hemorrhage, including hemorrhage due to vascular malformation or neoplasm. 2. bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage and probable subdural hemorrhage within the right middle cranial fossa and adjacent to the tentorium. 3. no hydrocephalus. 4. abnormalities suspected in the temporal lobes, left occipital lobe and pons raising the question of posterior circulation infarct or contusion. --- head ct:stable appearance of intracranial injury. no hydrocephalus or midline shift --- cxr :findings: the aorta is tortuous and there are associated mural calcifications. the cardiomediastinal contours are stable in appearance. again noted are bilateral multifocal opacities involving the right upper lobe, right lower lobe, and left lower lobe, which have worsened slightly in the interval, consistent with progressive multifocal pneumonia. also noted is perihilar opacification and small bilateral pleural effusions consistent with a component of heart failure. there is dextroscoliosis of the thoracic spine. brief hospital course: pt was transferred here and found to have an ich as well as sah. unclear if this was all predicated by patient's fall or if hemorrhage secondary to underlying vascular malformation(aneurysm or avm) or hemorrhagic malignant lesion with subsequent fall. he had no history of malignancy though. he also had what looked like an early pna on cxr at admission. neurosurgery declined intervention in his case. he was dnr/dni from the beginning of admission. he was initially admitted to the icu for close bp monitoring/treatment and neuro monitoring. his neurological status did not clinically worsen initially. his repeat scans showed stability of the lesion. he did improve either however. medically however, he did poorly. he developed a bilateral multifocal pna. we assume this is due to aspiration and probably occured before admission. he was treated aggresively with antibiotics but his repsiratory status continued to decline. in addition, he developed arf in the setting of his cri. the reason was uncleasr, but urine eos were negative. this continued to worsen until his death. he also developed a troponin leak(accentuated by his arf) that continued to fise slightly until his death. despite aggressive treatment, he continued to worsen medically, as a result of his pna mainly and with contributions from his arf, new ich, new temporal strokes seen on repeat cts. on the day of his death, he was worsening from a pulmonary status. his heart then began to have asystolic periods for 1-2 hours. finally, his heart stopped and he passed away. his family was in the room immediately after he died. medications on admission: 1. atenolol 50 mg po qd 2. hctz 25 mg po qd 3. lisinopril 20 mg po qd 4. felodiopine 10 mg po qd no asa, other

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: celebrex / naprosyn attending: chief complaint: chest pain major surgical or invasive procedure: cardiac catherization history of present illness: the patient is an 88 y/o f with pmhx significant for nstemi (), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, copd (on home o2), and tobacco abuse, admitted on to on with sudden onset of severe sscp radiating down left arm. of note, the patient is a poor historian, which was exacerbated by the benzodiazepines that she received in the cath lab. most of the history was obtained from records from . the patient initially presented to the ed at last night with sscp radiating down her left arm. she was found by ems to have chest pain, sob and ekg changes with "st-elevations". she received 3 sl ntg and was brought to the ed. in the ed there, she was treated with morphine, fentanyl, albuterol, bilaudid, tordal, and xanax. she was thought to not be having a stemi and was managed medically with heparin, aspirin and a plavix load. overnight, her troponins were noted to become positive (0.2->5.39); it was also felt that she had ecg changes consisting of st elevations and twi in v3 through v6. at first, she declined cardiac cath; however, she later became agreeable to the procedure and was transferred to for the procedure. vitals prior to transfer were afebrile, hr 60's-80 sr, 20, 104-120/50's, 3 liters with sats 98. . she could not lie flat for a catherization and on exam in the holding area was in acute distress, anxious and gasping for air with bp 119-140/82-90, hr in 70-80, rr 25 and spo2 100 on 2.5l. ultimately she calmed down and had less laboured breaths in an upright seated position. she was given nebs, lasix (60 mg iv), valium, and nitropaste. she was then admitted to the ccu for optimization of the respiratory status overnight with plans to cath her in the morning. . of note, the patient had similar symptoms in 10/. at that time, she presented to and was found to be having an nstemi. she refused cardiac catheterization and was treated medically. since that time, her functional status has declined steadily such that she rarely leaves the house and has 3 step doe. recently, she stopped several of her medications (plavix, imdur, and her beta blocker). she is currently on only norvasc, hyzaar, and aspirin. . the patient's lab work at was significant for the following cardiac ezymes: at

status post two myocardial infarctions. 2. estimated ejection fraction is approximately 15% to 20%. 3. status post prostatectomy for prostate cancer. 4. atrial arrhythmia, status post pacemaker. 5. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (on 3 liters nasal cannula at home). 6. history of pulmonary embolism. review of systems: review of systems was notable for only being able to walk approximately 30 feet on admission as opposed to his baseline of 300 yards approximately two months ago. he has difficulty sleeping at night and must sleep at an angle secondary to his breathing problems. medications on admission: medications on admission included glyburide 0.75 mg p.o. q.d., lasix 100 mg p.o. q.d., aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d., digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q.d., mavik 1 mg p.o. q.d., prednisone 6 mg p.o. q.d., amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.o.d. and 100 mg p.o. q.o.d., albuterol and atrovent meter-dosed inhaler 2 puffs b.i.d., lipitor 5 mg p.o. q.d., protonix 40 mg p.o. q.d., aldactone 25 mg p.o. q.d., advair meter-dosed inhaler 1 puff b.i.d., lopressor 25 mg p.o. b.i.d., iron 325 mg p.o. q.d. allergies: allergies include codeine. social history: the patient is a past smoker. no recent ethanol use. he is a retired head of the security at hospital. code status: the patient is do not resuscitate/do not intubate. physical examination on presentation: physical examination on admission revealed the patient's temperature was 97.9, heart rate was 76, blood pressure was 142/74, respiratory rate was 18, saturating 96% on 3 liters nasal cannula. the patient was a well-appearing elderly male in no acute distress. he was able to speak in full sentences. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed sclerae were anicteric. the oropharynx was moist. jugular venous distention went to the angle of the jaw. heart was regular in rate and rhythm with normal first heart sound and second heart sound. the lungs had emphysematous breath sounds with prolonged expiration with occasional anterior wheezing. there were faint crackles at both bases. the abdomen was nontender with the liver edge palpable at 5 cm below the rib cage. no appreciable splenomegaly. extremities revealed 4+ pitting edema bilaterally to the midthigh. neurologic examination revealed cranial nerves ii through xii were intact with no focal deficits. the deep tendon reflexes were 1+ and symmetric throughout. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: laboratories on admission revealed white blood cell count was 11.7, hematocrit was 40.4, platelets were 248. ptt was 28.8, inr was 1.6. digoxin level was 1.2. the patient's chemistry-7 revealed sodium was 128, potassium was 5.2, chloride was 92, bicarbonate was 22, blood urea nitrogen was 77, creatinine was 2.2, and blood glucose was 153. urinalysis on admission revealed a specific gravity of less than 1.005 with nitrites negative. no red blood cells and no white blood cells. radiology/imaging: a chest x-ray had cardiomegaly and was consistent with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease changes. there were no appreciable effusions. the patient had right lower extremity doppler studies which were negative. a v/q scan was intermediate probability. electrocardiogram with a dual-paced at a rate of 70 with no appreciable ischemic changes. hospital course: the patient is a 78-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure presenting with malaise, shortness of breath, and increased lower extremity edema. on physical examination, the patient had signs of right-sided heart failure including elevated jugular venous distention and extremity edema, as well as hepatic congestion. the patient was diuresed aggressively; however, on admission the patient had a creatinine of 2.7 with a baseline of approximately 1.6. the patient's creatinine was monitored during the diuresis. it was felt, based on the patient's history, there was no clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism, so the patient had initially been started on heparin but this was discontinued early on in his hospital course. the patient also had his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease medications continued. regarding the patient's cardiac history, the patient was diuresed aggressively with intravenous diuresis but was noted to be refractory to diuresis even with increasing doses of lasix and aldactone. the congestive heart failure service was consulted at this point. with regard to the patient's diuresis upon transfer to the c-med service, the patient's regimen had added natrecor to this regimen in addition to bumex and zaroxolyn. at this point, the patient tolerated the diuresis. his systolic blood pressures remained in the 90s to 100s. the patient's symptoms improved with decreased edema; however, the patient still continued to have total volume body overload. he still had difficulty with diuresis and was transferred to the coronary care unit for more aggressive monitoring and diuresis. in the coronary care unit, he was admitted for swan-ganz catheter for further tailored diuresis. he was transferred on . a swan-ganz catheter was placed with initial readings with the right ventricle was 60/26, the pulmonary artery was 60/40, the wedge was 43, cardiac index was 1.6, cardiac output was 2.6, and systemic vascular resistance was 1350. at this point, the patient was started on a milrinone drip. the natrecor was also continued while the patient was in the coronary care unit. the patient was transferred back to the floor on with some effective diuresis. the patient's milrinone was tapered and was stopped on . also, a low-dose ace inhibitor was added for afterload reduction. the patient also was seen by the electrophysiology service during this admission, and the risk and benefits of electrophysiology study, and left ventricular map, as well as a biventricular pacemaker were discussed with the patient. he was reluctant to have groin sticks at this time and said that he would prefer not to have further treatment. he had an episode of ventricular tachycardia which lasted approximately 30 seconds. the patient was unresponsive during the run, but he awoke after the ventricular tachycardia broke. the patient denied any further lightheadedness or dizziness after that. the patient wished not to have a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placed even given his risk for further tachycardic arrhythmic event, and this was discussed with the electrophysiology service. the patient was aware of the fact that he may have a future arrhythmic event which may lead to early mortality. the patient's amiodarone was continued throughout his whole hospital admission. discharge disposition: the patient's fluid balance had improved, and he was discharged to home with services. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was fair. discharge status: discharge status was to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. congestive heart failure with an ejection fraction of 15% to 20%. 2. coronary artery disease;

the tricupsid valve without any vegetations seen on the line. impression: no valve vegetations seen. . cxr portable findings: frontal view of the chest. endotracheal tube has been removed. right subclavian catheter terminates at the cavoatrial junction. the heart is of normal size with an unchanged cardiomediastinal silhouette. bilateral diffuse heterogeneous hazy opacities, right greater than left, have slightly improved since . no new focal opacity, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. impression: interval extubation with slight improvement in diffuse hazy opacities, right worse than left. brief hospital course: 28 yo m with polysubstance abuse, reported schizophrenia & bipolar, found unresponsive requiring intubation, transferred from osh for workup and treatment and was found to have aspiration pneumonia in the setting of polysubstance overdose. . # shock. pt initially present with hypotension requiring 6 l ivf in the ed with upto 2 pressors in the micu. the cause of shock is likely septic in nature, likely secondary to aspiration pneumonia. he was covered with antibiotics since admission, gent/vanco/ceftriaxone/flagyl at osh, unasyn initially in ed of , vanco/zosyn in the micu, clindamycin after arriving the floor and finished with augmentin for an accumulative total of 10 days. his culture was only notable for mssa on sputum culture from the day after admission. his urine, blood culture, and bal were otherwise negative. upon discharge, pt was hemodynamically stable. . # aspiration pneumonia / respiratory distress: pt's chest x-ray on admission was concerning for multilobar pneumonia on the right side. the history of unresponsiveness and fairly rapid radiographical resolution are most consistent with aspiration pneumonia. pt was initially broadly covered with antibiotics, which was later tailed based on the clinical course and mssa grew from the sputum culture (see above). his micu course was notable for hypercarbic hypoxic respiratory failure, requiring high peep (upto 18) and heavy sedation including the use of precedex. this likely developed in the setting hypoventilation secondary to sedative substance overdose. pt's respiratory status improvement significantly after extubation. pt maintained normal saturations without oxygenation difficulties on the hospital floor prior to discharge to 4. . # ams: most likely developed because of substance overdose and pneumonia. he was intubated on the field and improved gradually. ct head/neck negative. he self extubated on . c- collar was cleared. mental status slightly lethargic but improving upon transfer to the floor. he was alert and oriented throughout his stay on the medicine floor. he was treated with haloperidol initially and later switched to zyprexa for anxiety and agitation. . # overdose/polysubstance abuse: pt came in with polysubstance abuse, with tox screen evidence of opiate, benzo, cocaine, tylenol. there is also high likelihood of alcohol abuse given the scene when pt was found. it was suspected that the overdose was a suicidal attempt. pt was evaluate by social worker and psychiatrist during this admission. he was placed on section 12 and one-on-one watch for the concern of suicidal ideation. he received valium for alcohol withdrawal per ciwa protocol, which has been discontinued prior to discharge. pt was also started on thiamine, folate and multivitamin. . # transaminitis: pt was found to have transaminitis, which likely occurred in the setting of hypotensive shock or multidrug toxicity. his alt/ast were down trend since admission. the lft on discharge still showed elevation of alt/ast, which could reflect the ongoing hepatitis c infection. . # hepatitis c: pt was found to have positive hepatitis c antibody, suggesting infection. the potential source of infection includes tattoo and iv drug use. of note, pt was hepatitis b negative. pt will need hepatology followup for further evaluation and potentially treatment. will recommend testing for hiv in the outpatient setting once the insurance situation resolves. . # nstemi: pt had mildly elevated ckmb and troponin. this likely happened in the setting of hypotension and cocaine toxicity. ekg showed st depression in inferior leads. his troponin was down trending, and ckmb returned to . . # acute kidney injudry: most likely prerenal vs atn (in the setting of hypotension and rhabdomyolisis). his creatinine normalized after supportive care. . chronic issues # psychiatric issues: wife reported history of bipolar and schizophrenia, with no prior hospitalization and medication. no clear evidence of active disease was observed. psychiatric followup after the resolution of acute medical problems was recommended. . transitional issues code status: full medication changes: - started thiamine 100 mg qd - started folate 1 mg qd - started multivitamin 1 tablet qd follwoup: - pt will need primary care followup after approval of mass health. - please arrange hepatology followup for newly diagnosed hepatitis c. - please check lft in one week. - needs clarification for potential history of bipolar and schizophrenia. medications on admission: none (per wife) discharge medications:

negative; work-up for behcet's including ophthamological exam for uveitis and skin test with subcutaneous injection of saline negative) and 3. neoplastic (cytology sent, ct torse negative for adenopathy, scrotal us negative for mass). . a repeat lumbar puncture on showed 3 wbc, 0 rbc, tp 26, glucose 81; gram stain was negative. cytology sent was sent and showed atypical lymphocytes but flow studies will have to be repeated at later date becuase poor sample. a mrs was done on and showed improvement in the enhancement seen within the posterior pons and mid brain on examination from . no new areas of abnormal enhancement were identified and there was normal mr spectrographic analysis of the midbrain and pons. tissue samples of small bowel was within normal limits. tissue of left gastrocnemius showed mild myopathy, chronic and active and no inflammatory findings on sural nerve pathology. review of old medical records from of () indicated that midbrain was biopsied during a similar presentation of illness with t2 bright lesions in midbrain and pons. this biopsy revealed only gliotic changes in grey and white matter. no evidence of tumor or inflammatory changes. there were rare "rod cells" and lymphocytes associated with disorganized fragment of leptomeninges suggestive of encephalitis. a metabolic work-up had not been initiated at and patient had very long chain fatty acids (within normal limits), mma (80 with normal range 87-318) sent on this admission. further metabolic work-up may be considered in future. . final results of muscle/nerve biopsy are pending. . on discharge, his bulbar function has improved, as has his strength. he is now, however, showing signs of pseudobulbar affect (mainly inappropriate laughter). he continues to have difficulty with speech and swallowing, as well as sitting up without support. . 2. cv/resp: patient was initially admitted to icu for concern of poor handling of secretions. he developed an oxygen requirement several times during his hospitalization, which usually improved with suctioning. he was stable on room air at the time of discharge. . 3. fen/gi: mr. was fed via ng tube until he was more alert. during a speech and swallow evaluation on , it was determined that patient should remain npo. a peg tube was inserted. his ast/alt were elevated on . gi was consulted and it was thought that his transaminitis was most likely drug-induced due to ceftriaxone. labs were sent for possible infectious causes: hcv ab neg, hbsag neg, hbsab pos, hbcab neg; hcv and cmv viral loads pending. a liver ultrasound was normal. on , his ast/alt began to trend downwards. patient was also noted to have constipation and was kept on an aggressive bowel regimen. . 4. heme: patient noted to have an anemia of chronic disease. hct decreased from 36 to 29 on . dic labs, coags, stool guaics were normal. . 5. id: see neuro. patient had low grade fevers for which he was cultured on . bcx and ucx were negative. he had an episode of hematuria on with the foley inserted. blood cultures were negative. foley was removed. . 6. rehab: patient worked with pt for concern of spasticity. . 7. rheum: rheum service consulted for concern of vasculitis who suggested angiogram in future. . 8. ophthalmology: an ophthamologic exam was done to look for signs of uveitis which may be consistent with behcet's disease. exam was negative for uveitis but was found to have an increased cup-to-disc ratio and increased intraocular pressure. follow-up was recommended in 6 mos to evaluate for glaucoma, especially given treatment

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 45-year-old man who reports that he had had progressive shortness of breath and occasional chest pain for the past several years, especially with exertion. the patient was admitted in of last year, ruled out for myocardial infarction but was diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy after transesophageal echocardiogram showed dynamic outflow obstruction with a peak gradient of 32. a subsequent catheter showed a systolic gradient of 130 after pvc and 96 after valsalva. trial of medical management failed to relieve the patient's symptoms, as did a prior alcohol septal ablation in . therefore, the patient was brought to catheter lab on the day of admission for a second more aggressive alcohol ablation. in the catheter lab here, the patient's systolic gradient was noted to be absent, however it was seen to rise to 100 mmhg with dobutamine stress. the initial septal artery was noted to be absent and the second septal artery which had two branches, both of which were injected with ethanol and that resulted in the complete resolution of the gradient even with dobutamine stress in the lab. the patient was brought to the coronary critical care unit with 6/10 chest pain, however he had no shortness of breath, diaphoresis, nausea or vomiting when he arrived on the unit. past medical history: 1. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 2. hypercholesterolemia medications prior to arriving here: 1. aspirin 325 mg q day 2. verapamil 180 mg q day 3. metoprolol 50 mg q day physical exam: vital signs: temperature 96.3??????, pulse 72, blood pressure 125/78, respiratory rate 16. patient was saturating 98% on room air. general: he is alert and oriented x3 in no acute distress, obese middle aged man. head, ears, eyes, nose and throat: pupils were equal, round and reactive to light. mucous membranes were moist. his oropharynx was clear. neck: he had no jugular venous distention, elevation while lying flat. the patient had no thyromegaly. the patient had no lymphadenopathy. cardiovascular: he had a regular rate, normal s1, normal s2 and no murmurs when he presented to the unit. lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally. no wheezes. extremities: he had 2+ dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis pulses bilaterally. no thrill, hematoma or bruit over either catheter site. labs upon admission: chem-7: sodium 141, potassium 4.1, chloride 104, bicarbonate 25, bun 18, creatinine 0.8, glucose 101. his ck was 1237. ck/mb was 175. his index was 14.1. his white blood cell count was 12.1, hemoglobin 14.4, hematocrit 39.9, platelets 289. his second ck was 1874 with a ck/mb of 281 and index of 15. his third ck on , the second day of admission, was 1,119 with a ck/mb of 59 and an index of 5.3. fasting lipid profile was drawn on which showed a triglyceride level of 178, hdl 41 and an ldl of 137 with a cholesterol to hdl index of 5.2. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular: a. coronary artery disease: the patient had no known coronary artery disease, however he demonstrated increased ldl on the fasting lipid profile and has a history of hyperlipidemia. the patient should be keeping his ldl under 100 in light of his compromised cardiovascular situation. the patient was started on 20 mg q day of lipitor for his hyperlipidemia. the patient was continued on his once a day aspirin regimen. b. pump: the patient's outflow gradient seemed to be decreased based on an echocardiogram done in the catheter lab, but it was not clear if the patient will have clinical improvement. the patient had a quick ck washout as expected and peaked adequately indicating good septal ablation. serial electrocardiograms showed evidence of a right bundle branch block that was consistent with his prior electrocardiogram, but no other evidence of av conduction block. the patient was sent home with 100 q day of atenolol and 240 mg q day of verapamil. c. rhythm: the patient was placed on a prophylactic transvenous pacer due to the high risk of complete heart block with septal ablation. he was conducting on his own throughout his hospitalization and his pacer was not needed to capture beats. the transvenous pacer was removed on the day prior to discharge. the patient had no evidence of heart block throughout the hospitalization. 2. pulmonary: the patient saturated well on room air throughout his hospitalization. 3. renal: serial chem-7 showed no adverse effect from the large dye load the patient received in the catheter lab. 4. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition/gastrointestinal: no issues. 5. infectious disease: the patient spiked a temperature to 104?????? on hospital day #2. pan cultures were negative at the time of discharge with no growth to date. chest x-ray was normal. the patient was thought to have spiked a fever as the result of possibly atelectasis or potentially as a symptom of alcohol withdrawal for which he was given ativan x1, however the patient had no other symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, as he is a binge drinker reporting 12 drinks per week all on the same occasion. the patient was monitored per the ciwa protocol and the only evidence of withdrawal was the fever. low index is suspicion for alcohol withdrawal for his hospitalization. 6. prophylaxis: the patient was given protonix throughout his hospitalization and docusate throughout his hospitalization. disposition: the patient was discharged to home. discharge condition: good discharge diagnoses: 1. hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, status post septal ablation 2. hyperlipidemia 3. right bundle branch block 4. alcohol withdrawal , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 11:54 t: 12:15 job#: procedure: coronary arteriography using two catheters intraoperative cardiac pacemaker left heart cardiac catheterization excision or destruction of other lesion or tissue of heart, endovascular approach diagnoses: other primary cardiomyopathies other and unspecified hyperlipidemia right bundle branch block examination of participant in clinical trial alcohol withdrawal Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

bilateral pleural effusions with atelectasis and air bronchograms in the lung bases. 3. micronodular opacities are present in the right lung base, consistent with pneumonia. video swallow study: the patient was unable to swallow the barium tablet with thin liquid and demonstrated a moderate amount of thin liquid aspiration during this attempt. there was no spontaneous cough, and a cued cough was ineffective in clearing the aspiration. video swallow study: aspiration of thin and nectar thick barium. penetration to the vocal cords with pudding consistency barium. prominence of the cricopharyngeus muscle with episodes of apparent spasm. brief hospital course: 22 y/o m with h/o 's disease (didmoad), central hypoventilation, recurrent pna (h/o mrsa/pseudomonas/klebsiella), presenting s/p witnessed aspiration event, with intermittent fevers, afebrile since abx discontinued on . 1. pneumonitis: mr. was admitted on following a witnessed aspiration event at . he had recent reported histoy of broad spectrum antibiotics over the last 2 weeks (linezolid/zosyn/caspofungin/bactrim/amikacin). on admission to he was initially monitored in the icu given his central hypoventilation with ventilation dependence. initial cxr here was negative for infiltrate (reported as bilateral atelectasis and small effusions). sputum cultures grew pseudomonas/klebsiella on two separate days. it was thought that these organisms could represent colonization vs infection. given his persistent fever and bandemia, infection was suspected and he was initially started on vanco (d1=) and zosyn. zosyn was changed to merepenem (d1=) after final sensitivies returned (pseudomonas resistant to zosyn and ceftaz). given his persistent fevers, other etiologies of his fever were pursued including pe and meds. ct-angio was performed on which demonstrated multi-nodular opacities in the right lung base thought to be c/w pneumonia. no evidence of pulmonary embolism. non-pathologically enlarged lymph nodes were noted in the mediastinum and hilar regions. however, repeat cxr's continued to demonstrate no evidence of infiltrate. in addition, the patient developed a rash that was thought to be consistent with drug rash. all antibiotics were discontinued on given lack of clinical findings c/w pneumonia and given possible drug rash/fever. he subsequently remained afebrile off antibiotics for the next week. his rash subsequently resolved as well, with suspected to zosyn (no respiratory compromise, no hives). his respiratory status improved and he was able to maintain o2 sats >93% on 35% trach collar and off ventilation assistance completely. given his subsequent improvement without continued antibiotics, the thought was that he was likely to have pneumonitis rather than a new pneumonia. his wbc count remained stable at 9-10 over the following week off antibiotics. however, on , his wbc count increased to 18 with 3% bands. he remained afebrile, but he was noted to have increased thick yellow sputum production. repeat cxr demonstrated evidence of a right lower lobe pna vs atelectasis. therefore he was re-started on antibiotics on with vanco and cefipime. however, he subsequently had resolution of his wbc count the following day (wbc =9, with 0 bands) and antibiotics were discontinued. a new infection was thought to be unlikely as he quickly recovered and remained afebrile and clinically stable throughout the remainder of his course. on discharge he is off all antibiotics and is afebrile with stable respiratory status. 1a. cricothyroid muscle spasms: given his recurrent aspirations and secondary aspiration pnuemonitis/pneumonia he was evaluated further by the speech and swallow service. evaluation demonstrated that he had paroxysmal cricothyroid muscle spasms leading to aspiration. spasm was noted to occur despite multiple preceding normal swallows were documented. in addition he was noted to have absent cough reflex. these spasms were thought to be the likely etiology of his aspirations. in addition, gerd was thought to be exacerbating his symptoms, with noted epiglottic edema. manometry demonstrated no evidence of ues dysfunction or spasm (over swallows). however,there was still concern over paroxysmal muscle spasm. therefore he underwent egd w/dilatation of his ues on . however, repeat video swallow study on demonstrated continued aspiration of thin liquids with intermittent esophogeal spasms (please obtain online medical record for full report). there was also noted difficulty initating swallow. after consultation, we decided to pursue conservative management of this problem. it is unclear whether botox injections to his cm muscle would help at this time. therefore, we have resumed a diet of thickened liquids with strict aspiration precautions, including maintaing the chin down in postition while swallowing. he has tolerated thickened liquids quite well and has had no evidence of pneumonia. if he subsequently has reccurrent aspiration pneumonitis or pna, he may follow-up with dr. for potential botox injection. he has follow-up scheduled for for initial visit w/ dr. . **he should have a repeat video swallow study to evaluate for aspiration and potential advancement of diet. 2. hyper/hyponatremia: over the course of his hospital stay, mr. had brittle sodium levels. his difficult sodium balance was secondary to his central diabetes insipidus in the setting of decreased po intake (nutrition was given per tube feeds). he does have an intact thirst reflex, however po's were initially held in the setting of his known aspiration risk. in the icu he developed hypernatremia with na levels up to the 150's, treated with free water flushes. in addition he was continued on his ddavp (desmopressin) at 1.0mcg iv bid + and additional mid-day dose at 0.5mcg. however, he subsequently developed hyponatremia w/ na down to 123. he remained asymptomatic without seizure. his free water flushes were held in addition to his ddavp in setting of hyponatremia. he persisted to have very brittle sodium control, with return of sodium to 149. he was re-started on ddavp at 1.0mcg iv bid. this regimen lead to good sodium control. of note, since he started taking in po's, he has been drinking thickened water,resulting in sodium fall to 139. however, we do not want to discourage his po intake, so instead we have decreased his ddavp dose. on discharge we have him on 0.5mcg iv morning dose and 1.0mcg iv evening dose. 3. epilepsy: continued on dilantin with seizure precautions. dosed by levels. dilantin level was 20.9, so we decreased dilantin to 200mg . 4. hypothyroidism: continued on synthroid. 5. dmii- insulin dependent: followed by in the hospital. he also was noted to have brittle diabetes with blood sugars fluctuating from low's of 40's-50's with highs up to the 300's. eventually, he was able to be maintatined with good glycemic control on the regimen as follows: nph insulin 30qam/25qhs + sliding scale humalog. 6. anemia/thrombocytopenia: both stable, initially down from admission. concern for hit/zosyn-related low platelets. hit negative. plts have since recovered; hct stable. 7. fen: probalance full strength via peg. in addition, we would recommend a calorie count if he continues to take in significant po's, since he may not need continued full strength tube feeds. 8. allergic derm rxn: on had fever,blanching erythematous rash with non-blanching 1/2 mm papules. the rash abatted in <2hrs after benadryl iv. he was also given albuterol nebs, but had no dyspnea. he has had resolution of his rash off of antibiotics, with no current fever, so leading diagnosis is drug rash/fever, likley secondary to zosyn. of note, he did not develop rash on cefipime. 9.conjunctivitis: be related to drug reaction. we do not have high clinical suspicion that this is a bacterial conjunctivitis, however have treated with erythromycin eye drops for a 6 day

thrombus seen but cannot exclude. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. compared with the report of the prior study (tape unavailable for review) of , left ventricular systolic function is now significant impaired and mitral regurgitation is now more prominent. . stress mibi : moderate fixed inferior wall perfusion defect. transient ischemic dilatation of the left ventricle. moderate global hypokinesis with lv ef of 38%. . cardiac catheterization : 1. selective coronary angiography in this right dominant circulation demonstrated three vessel disease. the lmca was very short versus dual ostia. the lad was calcified and diffusely diseased. there was a 50% proximal stenosis and then a 70% stenosis after the takeoff of the d1. the distal lad had moderate diffuse disease. the d1 had moderate diffuse disease proximally. the lcx had a 60% ostial stenosis and then a serial 70% stenosis in the proximal segment. there was moderate diffuse disease in the distal lcx. the om1 had an 80% stenosis at its origin. the l-pl had mild diffuse disease. the rca was totally occluded which appeared chronic. there were moderate left to right collaterals. 2. resting hemodynamics from right heart catheterization demonstrated mildly elevated right and left heart filling pressures (rvedp=13mmhg, mean pcwp=17mmhg). there was moderate pulmonary and systemic arterial hypertension (pa=47/17mmhg, ao=170/67mmhg). the calculated cardiac output by the fick method was 6.4 l/min with a cardiac index of 2.8. moderate hypoxemia was noted with an arterial oxygen saturation of 88% on 2l o2 by nasal cannula. 3. a cardiothoracic surgery evaluation is recommended. however, given that this patient may not be an ideal surgical candidate given his comorbidities, a persantine mibi may be consider. this would allow identification of a major area at risk for ischemic which then can potentially be intervened upon via pci. brief hospital course: a/p: 78 m with pmh of htn, hypercholesterolemia, parkinson's ds, crf (with baseline cr 1.2-1.5), discharged 1 wk ago for mrsa aspiration pna (requiring pressors, intubation), d/ced on vanco/levo/flagyl, presented on with worsening sob, chest pressure, n/v, sweating, found to have nstemi. . 1. nstemi: though it was a nstemi, his echo shows a large area of hypokinesis which is new. he was pain free after admission and his ck trended downward. his cath was initially deferred secondary to worsened cri. during this time, he was maintained on asa/bb/heparin/statin. he was originally started on a nitro drip but this was d/c in favor of hydralazine and isordil during this time period. his ace-i was held secondary to his worsening renal function but restarted once his kidney function normalized. as his creatinine improved he was taken to cath where he was seen to have 3vd. he was evaluated by cardiac surgery who felt that he was too high risk to intervene on. he had a stress mibi showing global hypokinesis with transient ischemic dilitation suggesting that a focused pci would not be effective. it was decided to medically manage the patient. . 2. sob: on admission he was volume-overloaded by exam and cxr and was unable to lie flat for any period of time. this was also complicated by an infectious picture. he was originally maintained on a nitroglycerin drip that was titrated off over his admission and replaced by hydralazine and isordil. because of his previous admission for pna, vancomycin/flagyl/ceftazidime were continued for a 10d course. his cxr gradually improved and he began autodiuresing. he was able lie flat and his o2 requirement was weaned. his hydralazine and isordil were switched to an ace-i prior to d/c. . 3. anemia: on admission, the pt had a baseline hct of 27-33 and iron studies c/w an anemia of chronic disease. secondary to his ischemia, he was transfused x3 units over three days to maintain his hct over 30. he remained guaiac negative throughout his admission and was maintained on gi prophylaxis. . 4. tachyarrhythmia: he had an episode of afib on the day after admission that was self limited and never recurred. he was maintained on bblocker for rate control throughout his admission and had no further episodes. . 5. hypertension: his hypertension was initially managed with metoprolol which was titrated up to 75tid but further titration was limited by hr. he was initially also maintained isordil and hydralazine but these were switched to lisinopril as his creatinine normalized. his lisinopril was titrated up to 40qd on the day of discharge as his sbp was still in the 160s. he will need continued outpatient management of his blood pressure meds and will need to have his bp checked at his rehab facility. . 6. hypercholesterolemia: he was maintained on a statin throughout his admission. . 7. lower back pain: he received his outpatient oxycodone doses while hospitalized. . 8. parkinson's disease: he was maintained on carbidopa/levadopa at home doses. . 9. gerd: he was fed a cardiac diet and kept on a ppi. . 10. bph: he remained on his outpatient meds and had a foley throughout his stay in the ccu. . 11. fen: lytes were repleted prn. . 12. code: he

urgent hd, with hospital course complicated by pneumonia and gib initially gastritis and subsequently diverticular in nature. # hypotension, adrenal insufficiency the patient's hypotension was likely multifactorial and secondary to a combination of hypovolemia from gi bleed, infection from pneumonia, and unstable tachycardia. see below for treatment of each of these problems. the patient also received stress dose steroids, but was ultimately transitioned back to his home prednisone as he stabilized. cardiac enzymes were not suggestive of mi. the patient was resuscitated fully and left the micu slightly hypertensive because he was npo and could not take his home nifedipine. while on the medicine floor, the patient had no episodes of hypotension and did well on his home metoprolol dose. his home nifedipine was held, but this can be gradually restarted if his pressures require it. #bacterial pneumonia: the patient's x-ray on admission showed a rll opacity. unclear if chronic or new, infectious vs. malignant, based on old records. the patient was treated for hcap with vancomycin, cefepime, and levofloxacin, which was tailored back to vancomycin and levofloxacin as the patient stabilized. he completed an 8 day course- last day was . he continued to have a 2l oxygen requirement which was attributed to atelectasis in the setting of deconditioning. he will benefit from continued physical therapy and incentive spirometry. # acute renal failure due to urinary retention this was due to obstructive uropathy, given large amount (3l) of uop after foley placement in ed. he was uremic with extensive electrolyte abnormalities and acidosis. his initial ekg showed changes consistent w/ his hyperkalemia. the patient's ultrasound suggested bilateral hydronephrosis. the patient was emergently hemodialyzed in one two hour session. he did not require further dialysis. between the placement of a foley catheter and the dialysis, the patient's renal function rapidly improved and his creatinine was normal by the time he left the icu. he was started on finasteride and tamsulosin and foley was kept in place. urology recommended foley for at least two weeks with outpatient follow-up for a voiding trial. # etiology of urinary obstruction. multiple possibilities, the most concerning of which was cauda syndrome. an mri showed no cauda , stress dose steroids for possible cauda were stopped. thought to be caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. urology consult was placed and they recommended foley for at least two weeks with outpatient follow-up for a voiding trial. they did not see an indication for any acute urologic intervention during the hospitalization. # acute blood loss anemia due to diverticulosis with bleeding: the patient was was initially given ddavp 0.4mcg/kg over 10 mins. a ppi drip, and resuscitation with fluids. the patient underwent endoscopy, which showed gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenitis. he was then started on ppi . his h pylori serology was equivocal, stool antigen was ultimately negative. he was called out to the floor but returned to the icu following additional episodes of hypotension and bright red blood per rectum. he required transfusions of red blood cells (4 units). his cta abdomen was negative, but his colonoscopy showed left-sided diverticulosis which was believed to be the etiology of his bleed. he will require gi follow up (scheduled) with dr. for repeat egd given concern for gastric metaplasia in the setting of his gastritis. # severe malnutrition/aspiration risk: on second to last day of patient's initial icu stay, the patient coughed up a large pill that was stuck in his posterior throat. he was made npo, his medications were switched to iv. on , s/s team felt the patient was high risk for aspiration so he remained npo, failing multiple trials until when he passed a video swallow and was started on a nectar thick liquids, pureed solids diet. after completion of gi studies and resolution of the bleed, patient was given tube feeds for nutrition. these will need to be continued while his swallowing mechanism is still improving and nutritional status poor. we would recommend nutrition to follow him and perform calorie counts to help decide when to discontinue tubefeeds. would recommend monitoring for refeeding syndrome given severe malnutrition and several days w/o food in setting of gi bleed. # lue weakness: on , the patient was seen not using his left arm. neurological exam showed biceps and triceps weakness, with no obvious sign of shoulder dislocation. strength in hand was , though patient had some swelling of dorsum of left hand. ue ultrasound was scheduled, but patient refused that test on . neurology was called. they recommended soft cervical collar and mri spine. mr performed on , which showed degenerative changes, posterior disc bulge throughout w/ severe spinal stenosis. he may benefit from neurology follow up as an outpatient. # possible air embolism: shortly after the patient's hd line was removed, he had hypotension and destauration. this was thought to be secondary to an air embolism. the patient was placed on his left lateral decubitus. an echo was obtained that did not suggest right heart strain or pulmonary embolism. the patient's condition slowly improved until he only needed 2l nasal cannula. this can continue to be weaned as tolerated. # intraatrial septal aneurysm: incidental finding on echocardiography. following discussion with cardiology and neurology, the patient may be placed on aspirin once he is out of the window of his acute gi bleed. # cad: echo w/ ef 55%, no wall motion abnormality, though notable for interatrial septal aneurysm. per cardiology and neurology recommended aspirin and statin. we have been holding aspirin given his recent bleed but this can be restarted if hcts remain stable and no signs of further bleed. he was continued on his metoprolol and restarted on his statin on discharge. # polymyalgia rheumatica: he briefly received stress dose steroids as above, but then was switched tot methylpred 4mg iv daily. on discharge he was restarted on his home prednisone 5 mg daily. the patient will need to establish care with a pcp and is interested in doing so at the . he will need to follow up with urology and gi as detailed in the discharge instructions. he had extensive code status discussions during this hospitalization and he decided to be dnr/dni. his health care proxy is son (. medications on admission: - colace - lactulose prn constipation - asa 81 - metoprolol succ 50mg daily -

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: he has no known cad. cardiac risk factors were tobacco. he has no diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or hypertension. positive family history of mi at 60 years old in the family but not less than 55. he denied cocaine use. review of systems: denied pnd, orthopnea. he smokes one pack per day. he had exertional angina times five to six weeks. in the catheterization laboratory, his numbers were wedge 26, pa 44/25, cardiac index 3.62, cardiac output 7.38. iv fluid was 1,200 cc. also, in the catheterization laboratory, he was found to have rca status post two stents. he had a total proximal lesion which was acute, consistent with thrombotic occlusion. he also had a long proximal mid rca with timi-iii flow, 0% restenosis, small mitral side branch was jailed. his rv infarct hemodynamics was rv 44/15, left main was okay, calcified. he had an 85% mid lad involving the diagonal. his left circumflex had minor irregularities. the procedure was complicated by hypotension, bradycardia which required temporary pacing and temporary dopamine. he complained of nausea, vomiting with groin pressure. ecgs at the outside hospital: ecg number one showed st elevations in ii, iii, and avf with iii greater than ii, approximately 4 mm, sinus, 92, normal axis. number two: right-sided leads v4 greater than 1 mm. post catheterization, the ecg at ii, iii, and avf showed that the st elevations had decreased to 2 mm. laboratory data at the outside hospital: pt 15, inr 1.2. hemoglobin 14.1, hematocrit 41.1, platelets 29.8. here at the , the white count was 18.7, hematocrit 38.8, platelets 257,000, pmns 81%. sodium 141, potassium 3.9, chloride 101, bicarbonate 27, bun 14, creatinine 0.8, ck 147, mb 3, ast 31, alt 48, inr 1.3, calcium 9.4, phosphorus 4, albumin 4.1. the patient's peak ck was 3,238 on . it had decreased to 1,793 and then 147 on . the mb index was 19.8 on the second. physical examination on admission: on examination the day following catheterization revealed a blood pressure of 140/76, pulse 91. general: in no acute distress, lying flat, leg in the leg immobilizer. heent: eomi. perrla. op clear. jv to the angle of the mandible. lungs: clear to auscultation anteriorly. heart: regular rate and rhythm. s1, s2, no murmurs, rubs, or gallops appreciated. he is obese. abdomen: nontender, no rebound tenderness, soft. extremities: no clubbing, cyanosis or edema, dorsalis pedis and posterior pulses. neurologic: a&o times three. cranial nerves ii through xii. the right groin had a hematoma which was soft. there was no bruit. right groin swan was in place. hospital course: he had no drips at the time of arriving at the floor. the patient is a 48-year-old male with a history of tobacco use, imi, right ventricular infarct who presents to from an outside hospital for catheterization status post rca stenting complicated by hypertension, bradycardia requiring transient pressors, transient temporary pacing. 1. coronary artery disease: the patient received a beta blocker at the outside hospital and restarted beta blocker after the dopamine was weaned. plavix, aspirin, and integrelin 18 hours postprocedure. lipids were checked and current smoke cessation. the patient has beta blocker dose titrated up, had an ace inhibitor added, started on a statin. on , the patient was taken to the catheterization laboratory for intervention on the left system. he had left angiography of the left system. the left main was normal, proximal lad had mild disease, middle lad had 70% stenosis involving the d2 origin which had a 60% stenosis at the circumflex without significant disease. successful ptca of the d2 ostium was performed. there was 30% residual stenosis, normal flow, no apparent dissection. successful stent. direct stenting of the lad was performed. there was distal straightening/stenosis that required placement of an additional stent. there was no original stenosis, normal flow, and no apparent dissection. 2. congestive heart failure: despite the patient's jvd, he had no symptoms consistent with chf. the lungs were clear to auscultation. he had no pnd, no orthopnea. he had an echocardiogram on which showed a tr gradient of approximately 15 mmhg, left atrium was mildly dilated, right atrium mildly dilated, left ventricular wall thickness was normal, left ventricular size was normal. overall left ventricular systolic function was normal wall motion. the following regional left ventricular wall abnormalities were seen: basal inferior ak, midinferoseptal ak, basal inferior ak, midinferior ak, basal inferolateral ak, mid inferior lateral ak, septal apex ak, inferior apex ak. the remaining septums of the left ventricular wall were hypokinetic. right ventricular wall thickness was normal. right ventricular chamber size was normal. right ventricular systolic function appeared depressed, mildly dilated aortic trivial mr, no pericardial effusion. ef was estimated to be 20-25%, severely depressed. 3. renal: the patient had normal creatinine function despite the two dye loads. his renal function was monitored without a bump. 4. heme: he had a right groin hematoma. it was monitored and was stable. the patient had an ultrasound of the groin on which showed a right inguinal hematoma after cardiac catheterization. there was duplex carotid doppler of the right inguinal area. small av fistula involving the right common femoral, iliac artery, and right common femoral vein. no evidence of pseudoaneurysm and the recommendation was only to perform a follow-up if the patient became symptomatic. the team saw the patient, feeling again that there was no indication for surgical intervention and that the patient would have a follow-up ultrasound as an outpatient, should just follow the progress of the right groin. it was felt by the primary cardiology team that there was no reason to anticoagulate given the right-sided lesion and that the patient would likely regain his ef with time and the risk was not as great with a right-sided lesion as compared to a left-sided lesion despite the wall motion abnormality. 5. rhythm: the patient had some bouts of nsvt times three in the first 24 hours, status post mi. he was asymptomatic during all of them. in fact, he was sleeping during all of them. his lytes were monitored and adjusted appropriately and the patient had no further svt during his stay. the patient had signal-averaged ekg prior to discharge and was to follow with dr. and electrophysiology one month status post discharge. condition on discharge: good. discharge diagnosis: 1. inferior myocardial infarction with right ventricular involvement. 2. hyperlipidemia. 3. coronary artery disease. 4. hypertension. 5. congestive heart failure. 6. av fistula, right groin. discharge instructions: the patient was instructed not to drive for one week. instructed not to overtire for six weeks. instructed not to lift greater than 20 pounds. the patient was instructed to follow-up with dr. of cardiology in two weeks status post discharge and instructed to call dr. of electrophysiology and follow-up within one month. instructed to follow-up with dr. of vascular within two weeks to have follow-up with the right av fistula and instructed to call radiology to make a follow-up appointment. major surgical procedure: he had cardiac

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: baby boy , twin #1, was born at 35 5/7 weeks gestation to a 36-year-old g3, p2 now 4 mother with spontaneous twin gestation. edc . prenatal screen: blood type a positive, antibody negative, rpr nonreactive, hbsag negative, gbs negative, rubella nonimmune. there was a benign antepartum course with a planned c-section due to breech presentation of this twin. there was spontaneous rupture of membranes at 2:30 a.m. on the day of delivery. therefore, they were delivered by c- section that morning. no antibiotic prophylaxis was given intrapartum. this infant emerged with a spontaneous cry and required only routine care in the or. apgar scores were 9 and 9. the infant was transferred to the nicu for observation due to prematurity and twin gestation. of significant note was that mother had postpartum bleeding requiring a hysterectomy. physical examination: birth weight 3,185 grams (7lb)which is 75th to 90th percentile, length 48.5 cm which is 75th to 90th percentile, head circumference 35 cm which is greater than the 90th percentile. heent: anterior fontanelle was soft and flat. there was an approximately 0.5 cm rounded elevated skin lesion on the posterior scalp which was waxy in appearance, not pustular or vesicular of unclear etiology. no skull defect was noted underneath and it was in the midline position. red reflex was deferred at that time. the palate was intact. lungs were clear and equal with no increased work of breathing on room air. heart sounds were normal with no murmur, 2 plus peripheral pulses, pink and well perfused. abdomen was benign without hepatosplenomegaly or masses. normal back and extremities with stable hips. normal male genitalia with testes descended bilaterally. skin was pink and well perfused, appropriate tone and strength. hospital course: 1. respiratory-the infant has remained on room air since birth and has required no methylxanthine therapy, although he did present with a bradycardiac episode at rest on day of life #1. a spell count was done based on that bradycardic episode at rest and the infant remained in the nicu primarily for a spell count pending 5 days spell-free prior to transfer to the newborn nursery. 2. cardiovascular-the infant has remained hemodynamically stable. he had a soft murmur present on day #1 of life resolved and was felt to be a closing patent ductus arteriosus. there were no further issues with hemodynamics. stable blood pressure and stable heart rate have been observed. 3. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: the infant was started on ad lib p.o. feeds on the newborn day. there was initial d stick of 44 and the infant was subsequently fed and the d sticks have remained stable since that time. he is presently taking similac 20 with iron ad lib p.o. and taking at least 135 ml per kilo per day. most recent weight was 3,095gms (6lb 13 oz) on . 4. gi: the infant has had mild hyperbilirubinemia.the bilirubin was checked on day #3 of life when the state screen was sent. bilirubin was 5.6/0.1. no phototherapy has been required and the infant does not have any jaundice at this time. 5. hematology-no blood typing has been done on this infant. no cbcs or blood cultures have been measured. 6. infectious disease-no cbcs or blood cultures were done on the newborn day. the infant has remained free of signs and symptoms of infection. there have been no issues. 7. integumentary: since there is a midline scalp lesion on the anterior occiput of the infant's head which measures approximately 1 cm in size at this time, is hairless, and flesh in color, a dermatology consult was done on which is newborn day. dermatology recommended a cranial ultrasound to look for any neurologic or significant vascular connections from the lesion through into the brain tissue. a head ultrasound was done on the newborn day which showed a soft tissue lesion with minimal vascular involvement and no neurologic involvement. dr. was consulted on . he is a plastics physician from who specializes in head and face abnormalities. he recommended a cat scan which was done on which essentially showed a normal soft tissue lesion with no neurological connections to intracranial tissue. dr. recommended an outpatient removal of the lesion by 1 year of age. parents are to follow-up with drs and 1-2 months after discharge. the parents have the phone numbers to make the followup appointments. 8. neurologic-the infant has maintained a normal neurologic exam. both the head ultrasound done on and the ct scan showed normal intracranial anatomy. 9. sensory-audiology- the hearing screen performed prior to discharge was within normal limits. 10. ophthalmology-no ophthalmologic exams are indicated for this infant at this time. 11. psychosocial-a social worker has been in contact with the family. there are no ongoing social service issues at this time. if there are any concerns, the social worker can be reached at . condition on discharge: good. discharge disposition: home. primary pediatrician: pediatircs, , ma ( care recommendations: 1. feedings-similac 20 with iron ad lib p.o. feeds. 2. medications-none. 3. car seat position screening-the car seat screening was done on and the baby passed. 4. newborn screen was sent on day #3 of life, results pending. 5. immunizations received-hepatitis b vaccine was given on . immunizations recommended: synagis rsv prophylaxis should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following 3 criteria. 1) born at less than 32 weeks gestation. 2) born between 32 and 35 weeks gestation with 2 of the following; at a day care during rsv season, a smoker in a household, neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities, or school age siblings; or #3 with chronic lung disease. influenza immunization is recommended annually in the fall for all infants once they reach 6 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 all out of home caregivers. follow-up: follow-up appointments recommended: 1. pediatric appt within first week after discharge 2. drs and at within 1-2 months after discharge. the phone numbers are ( or (. 3. consider early intervention follow-up- referral not initiated during hospitalization. discharge diagnoses: 1. cranial soft tissue

rbc-0-2 wbc-0-2 bacteria-none yeast-none epi-<1 mr head w & w/o contrast 8:34 pm this very limited study appears to show no definite sign for an intracranial mass or hydrocephalus, nor is there shift of normally midline structures. the flair images disclose high signal within a few cerebral sulci of the posterior aspect of the right frontal lobe, the anterior aspect of the right parietal lobe, as well as the central sulcus. these findings presumably correspond to the subarachnoid hemorrhage noted on the prior ct scan. there is no definite evidence for a source of the hemorrhage. there were no other visible intracranial abnormalities on this admittedly limited study. there is moderate mucosal thickening in the ethmoid sinuses, and to a mild degree within the maxillary sinuses. the sinus abnormalities could represent an allergic or some other type of inflammatory process. conclusion: technically limited study, with apparent redemonstration of localized right cerebral hemispheric subarachnoid hemorrhage, as noted above. as was stressed in the dictation of the ct scan and ct angiogram, standard catheter angiography is the optimum technique to exclude a vascular malformation and provide the most detailed assessment for potential aneurysms. by dr. cta head w&w/o c & recons 1:20 am non-contrast axial scanning was performed through the brain. a cta was performed of the head during rapid infusion of intravenous contrast. no prior studies are available for comparison. findings: the non-contrast head ct scan demonstrates subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right sylvian fissure. there is no evidence of infarction and there is no hydrocephalus. the ct arteriogram demonstrates patency of the internal carotid arteries, vertebral and basilar arteries, and their major intracranial branches. no stenoses or occlusions are noted. there is a tiny outpouching at the left middle cerebral artery bifurcation. this measures approximately 2 mm in diameter. it appears focally enough that it likely represents a tiny aneurysm. however, an infundibulum cannot be excluded. there is a prominent vein coursing through the right sylvian fissure on the preliminary report, this raised a concern of an arteriovenous malformation. however, i do not detect a nidus of an avm. this may represent a simply anomalously enlarged venous drainage pattern without a high flow lesion. a dural arteriovenous malformation could give rise to an enlarged cerebral vein without demonstration of the nidus on a cta. if an arteriovenous malformation or a dural fistual remain clinical concerns, a catheter arteriogram would be the most reliable test to confirm or exclude this diagnosis. the remainder of the vessels appear normal. conclusion: 2-mm infundibulum or aneurysm at the left middle cerebral artery bifurcation. prominent right sylvian vein. no nidus is identified. this may represent an anomalously enlarged vein without an arteriovenous shunt. however, a dural arteriovenous malformation is an alternative cause of this prominent vein. if clinically significant, this distinction would best be made with a catheter arteriogram. by dr. . ct head w/o contrast 10:42 pm findings: there is no significant change compared to the prior examination. subarachnoid hemorrhage is again seen within sulci of the right frontal lobe and the sylvian fissure. there is no mass effect, shift of the normally midline structures, or major vascular territorial infarct. the -white matter differentiation is preserved. there is no hydrocephalus. the osseous structures are unremarkable. the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. impression: no significant change compared to the prior examination and extent of subarachnoid hemorrhage involving the right frontal lobe and sylvian fissure. by dr. and dr. carot/cereb 8:55 am operators: drs. , , . findings: comparison is made to mr of the head from as well as a cta of the head from the same date. the right internal carotid artery injection shows no aneurysms, vascular malformations, or stenoses. note is made of a prominent vein of . the left internal carotid artery injection shows a small aneurysm of the undersurface of the mid portion of the m1 segment of the left middle cerebral artery (mca). this aneurysm points inferiorly and laterally has a length of 2 mm and a neck of 2.6 mm. this aneurysm is arising from the origin of a right posterior cortical branch. there is another shallow aneurysm at the left mca bifurcation which measures 1.1 mm in length and 2.3 mm at its neck. the external carotid artery injections bilaterally and the left vertebral artery injection shows no abnormalities. the right vertebral artery injection could not be performed due to the patient's inability to lie still and cooperate with the exam. impression: 1. small aneurysm of the undersurface of the m1 segment of the left mca as well as a small shallow aneurysm at the left mca bifurcation. 2. no aneurysms of the right mca. 3. the right vertebral artery arteriogram could not be performed due to patient's inability to cooperate. 4. a followup cerebral angiogram in one to two weeks is recommended under general anesthesia to reassess aneurysms. by dr. and dr. brief hospital course: pt is a 47 yo female with h/o recent falls and ha, who was transferred from osh on for r sah. pt also presented with altered ms, lethargy. she initially went to the tsicu for observation. cta revealed 2mm aneurysm of left mca and large vein of right sylvian fissure. angio on showed left 1mm and 3mm aneurysm. post-angio ct on the same day is stable. there were no complications from having the angiography. however, she remained in the tsicu as there were no stepdown neuro beds available. we restarted he heparin the day following her angiogram and the team scheduled a repeat angiogram for monday. her exam and vital signs remained stable. on , she defervesced to an neuro stepdown bed on 5. she continued to do well with no problems over the next several days. a repeat angio was reviewed by the attending and the final report is still pending. pt's symptoms have improved since admission. her ha still continues and the only thing that relieves it is po dilaudid. unfortunately, she missed her pain clinic appointment last week so we will try to contact her pain physician today as she needs refills on her narcotic

unresponsive on the morning of , they were unable to arouse him. per his sister, the day prior they had seen him at the hospital after his elective egd, and he was doing well, talking, at his baseline. she came to visit him today with the rest of the family and states that he was able to recognize them, but definitely far from his baseline. she states that this seems like prior episodes when "his ammonia is high." he has had prior episodes of encephalopathy, last at from because he "couldn't speak" per the family. after receiving lactulose, he returned back to his baseline. he has since had 2 falls in - once on mother's day where he tripped and broke his right hip. no intervention was done. he then fell again, which per the family he doesn't remember. he had head strikes during both falls (one requiring stitches to the forward), but per the family, he was no different mentally after those falls. . on , he underwent an egd at hospital for a hct that was trending down of unclear etiology. he has been getting blood transfusions for this downtrending hct. over this time his edema has been getting worse and a foley catheter was placed days prior to admit as his scotal swelling prevented him from voiding effectively. per his family he has been taking all of his medications as prescribed. . on admission yesterday, he was noted to be in the 90s systolic, afebrile. a ruq us could not get great views of vasculature, but no ascites. a cxr was difficult to interpret but showed no obvious consolidation. he is guaiac negative and given a lactulose enema in the ed. in the micu, he received 3 doses of 30ml lactulose, and 1 dose of pr enema with ~ 3 bm's. he was placed on lasix 20mg iv bid and spironolactone 100mg po daily. he is net negative 2l during his micu stay. he seemed improved after lactulose enemas per the micu team. . on the floor, he is arousable to voice, able to answer a few questions, states his name. very poor attention. . ros: denies pain. otherwise unable to obtain given pt's mental status. but, per the family, he was not having any pain, fever, or other complaints the day prior. past medical history: 1. cirrhosis alcohol and hemochromatosis complicated by encephalopathy 2. recurrent cellulitis of left leg 3. dvt following trauma to left leg (mva) was on warfarin for 1 year. 4. chronic low back pain 5. depression 6.

retrocardiac region most likely represents pleural fluid and atelectasis. in the appropriate clinical setting, the possibility of supervening pneumonia would have to be considered. ct head w/o : impression: 1. no acute intracranial abnormality. 2. global cerebral atrophy, disproportionate to the patient's age. 3. diffuse sinus inflammatory disease. 4. incidental note made of an arachnoid cyst in the left middle cranial fossa. liver u/s : findings: evaluation is limited due to patient's body habitus and overlying bowel gas. within the limitations the extremely limited portion of the liver that was imaged is unremarkable. the portal vein, common hepatic duct, spleen or pancreas could not be seen. a stone is noted in the gallbladder. the partially imaged gallbladder appears unremarkable. no ascitic fluid is noted. impression: gallstone noted. severely limited study cxr : findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the pre-existing left basal opacity has decreased in extent and severity. otherwise, the radiograph is unchanged. no newly appeared focal parenchymal changes. ct abd : could not fully visualize hepatic vv due to contrast timing impression: 1. patent portal vein, although direction of flow cannot be evaluated with this study. 2. cirrhosis with evidence of portal hypertension, recanalized umbilical vein and splenorenal shunt. 3. cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis without evidence for inflammation. tte : conclusions the left atrium is elongated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 50-55%). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. physiologic mitral regurgitation is seen (within normal limits). the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , no change. ruq u/s : findings: note is made that this is a very limited ultrasound technically due to the patient's body habitus and his inability to hold his breath. no gross hepatic lesion is identified and no gross biliary dilatation is seen, although visualization of the liver is very limited. gallstones are again seen within the gallbladder. the spleen is enlarged measuring about 14.5 cm. no ascites is seen in the abdomen. doppler examination: color doppler and pulse-wave doppler images were obtained. within the right portal vein, flow is noted to be reversed. flow in the left portal vein is presumed to be patent and forward as there is a large patent umbilical vein. the main portal vein could not be identified. impression: extremely limited visualization of the anatomy due to the patient's body habitus. a large patent umbilical vein is identified. shadowing gallstones are again seen within the gallbladder. splenomegaly is also identified and there is no ascites seen.

cirrhosis and possible hemochromatosis (still undergoing evaluation) who presented with increased confusion at home. he was initially taken to the icu for close monitoring. he had no active s/s infection. he was treated with lactulose for hepatic encephalopathy and mildly improved. he was transferred to the medicine service where he continued to improve with lactulose. however, several days into his stay he appeared more confused. infectious workup was resent, and pt was found to have a uti, and was treated for 14 day course. pt continued to be encephalopathic and was treated with vancomycin for cellulitis of his left leg. hospital course was complicated by hypotension, most likely due to diuresis and poor intravascular volume. he had mild renal insufficiency secondary to overiduresis. tube feeds were started for nutrition. eventually, pt was no longer able to be diuresed, and family meeting was , with the decision to be discharged to ltac for further care and pt. he will follow-up with hepatology on discharge. # hepatic encephalopathy: on admission to the icu, patient was arousable to pain and had asterixis, concerning for he. there was no evidence of infection. most likely precipitating factor was a medication effect from pain medicine and sedating medicine from the egd (at osh) or possibly medication noncompliance. ruq u/s was performed to look for thrombus but inconclusive for pvt. ct scan showed patent portal vein but unable to fully visualize hepatic vein given contrast timing. pt was transferred to the medicine liver service, where he continued to improve after increasing bowel movements with lactulose. however, as discussed below, course was complicated by complicated uti, cellulitis, and hypotension, all likely contributing to continued encephalopathy. on discharge, he was more alert than on admission, but his mental status continued to fluctuate throughout the day. he was always oriented to person, able to state facts (such as president, current events), but occasionally not oriented to place or date and had poor attention. he had no other sources of infection and no further etiologies to treat to improve encephalopathy. # cirrhosis: alcoholic (last drink 4 years prior) and possible hemochromatosis suspected initially (based on elevated ferritin and iron deposition on previous imaging). multiple decompensations in the past with hepatic encephalopathy. on rifaximin (only once daily) and lactulose (only 60ml daily), and had been taking these as directed per the family and facility. prior to admission, had started evaluation for transplant, but had not yet completed it. his continued decompensation was concerning for secondary process in addition to alcoholic cirrhosis. ferritin levels were elevated and previous imaging suggested possible hemochromatosis. pt had no family history but has received blood transfusions in the past. hfe gene mutation analysis was negative. additional studies for other etiologies for cirrhosis were sent, including igg, , a1at, copper, ceruloplasmin. igg was normal, negative, a1at negative, ceruloplasmin mildly low at 13, copper was low at 34, 24hour urine copper showed normal levels. he was continued on spironolactone 100mg daily, and his lasix was uptitrated given anasarca (see below). however, given hypotension, further diuresis was limited and for last several days prior to discharge. he was continued on rifaxamin, increased to twice daily as it was recorded only as once daily at facility. lactulose dose was uptitrated as well, and should maintain at least bowel movements per day. **at , he will need to have diuretics restarted and titrated as able. **need to ensure bowel movements per day. # macrocytic anemia: ddx included hemolysis vs. hypersplenism vs. bleeding vs. acd. hct had been reportedly been drifting down at osh, requiring blood transfusions, with egd without any bleeding and no varices seen, guaiac negative here on admission. hapto <5 and elevated ldh concerning for hemolysis. however, given that he has cirrhosis, not unexpected that haptoglobin would be low, and ldh to be mildly elevated. spep and upep were negative. hematolgoy was consulted, and reported that there were spherocytes in the peripheral smear, but no schistocytes. the dat was negative, making differential for coombs negative hemolysis hereditary spherocytosis (hs)/erythrocyte membrane defect (can also cause splenomegaly), g6pd, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria all possible. g6pd was normal. urine hemosiderin showed was negative. he was transfused one unit prbc's on with hct at 25.7, mostly for improvement in intravascular volume (no active bleeding), with appropriate increase in hct. he was found to have brown, guaiac positive stools the week prior to discharge, thought to be possibly due to gastritis seen on egd at osh. he had no melena or frank blood. his hct remained stable at 27-28 for one week prior to discharge. on discharge he will follow-up with hematology. # anasarca: most likely low albumin and cirrhosis with poor synthetic function. no protein seen in the urine. pt was diuresed with iv lasix 40mg , increased titration limited by sbp in 90s. he was continued on spironolactone 100mg daily. however, pt became hypotensive, requiring decreased diuresis. diuresis was attempted with albumin given back. however, pt had some mild arf as well, and further diuresis was . nutrition was consulted and while he was eating well, he was started on tf's to try to improve nutrition. **on discharge, the physicians at rehab will restart and titrate diuresis as able (limitations will be renal insufficiency and hypotension). # hypotension: ddx includes overdiuresis & dry intravascular volume, vs. sirs physiology vs. adrenal inusfficiency. diuretics stopped . midodrine uptitrated and given albumin. consulted endocrine given low cortisol on testing, though confusing picture given albumin only 2.1, therefore assay difficult to interpret. pt was treated with appropriate antibiotics for uti and cellulitis, and did not appear to be septic. diuresis was as above. he was started on midodrine. repeat ruq u/s and cxr were unremarkable. repeat urine cultures showed yeast, and the foley was discontinued. blood cultures on repeat showed no growth. endocrine followed and did not think the picture was consistent with adrenal insufficiency. lh, fsh were low, in addition to low testosterone. he was restarted on testosterone patch. his bp remained stable in the systolic 90s-100s for 48hrs prior to discharge. he was discharged to continue midodrine 10mg tid. # acute renal failure: pre-renal etiology given attempted diuresis, with cr bump to 1.4. diuresis was discontinued. his creatinine was stable at 1.3 for 2 days prior to discharge. # complicated uti: discovered on after pt appeared more confused, and infectious workup resent. he was treated with ceftriaxone for 14 day course. repeat urine culture showed yeast, but no bacterial growth. # left leg erythema: started on vancomycin to cover for possible cellutlitis. pt had already been on ctx for uti, and therefore was getting adequate coveraged accept for mrsa. completed a 7 day course with improvement. leni was checked to ensure no dvt, which was negative. he had some mild erythema of bilateral legs on discharge, attributed to stasis dermatitis. # depression: home abilify given concern for causing somnolence in addition to side effects of leukopenia in this patient who is already at risk. recommend follow-up with pcp after discharge for further management. # leukopenia: most likely hypersplenism, cirrhosis. no s/s infection. wbc remained stable. his wbc ranged from high 2s-3s consistently for the last 2 weeks prior to discharge. # back pain: chronic in nature. continued lidocaine patch and tramadol for pain. # recent avulsion fracture: conservative management. pt was consulted and recommended acute rehab. given tramadol for pain control. transitional care: 1. code: full 2. contact: sister (hcp) (c), (w); brother 3. ow-up: - liver transplant - pcp after discharge - hematology - endocrinology 4.

discharge instructions: dear mr. , it was a pleasure taking care of you during this admission. you were admitted with unresponsiveness. you were initially cared for in the icu. you were given lactulose, and you began to feel better. we sent off several tests to assess for your liver disease. however, we think the cirrhosis is mostly due to your previous alcohol use. you had a lot of swelling, and we had to increase the amount of diuretics you were getting. however, your blood pressure was a bit low, and we had to stop the diuretics. we had the endocrinologists see you to make sure there was problem with your adrenal glands. we restarted you on testosterone. your blood sugars were high, and we had to start you on insulin. we found two infections during this admission, a urinary tract infection and cellulitis. we treated both of these with antibiotics. we had the nutritionists see you because your albumin was low. they recommended tube feeds, which we started you on to improve your nutrition. you continued to be confused. we discussed with you and your family that perhaps more intensive would be the best for you. the following medications were changed during this admission: - stop abilify **this medication can cause sleepiness and also lower your blood counts. please discuss with your doctors whether there is a better medication for you. - stop benadryl, as this can cause confusion - stop magnesium oxide - stop lasix 20mg 2 tablets daily **the doctors need to restart diuretics when you are there. - increase the amount of lactulose you were taking from 60ml daily to 30ml four times daily to at least bowel movements per day. - increase the dose of rixafamin from 550mg daily to twice daily - change the pyridoxine dose from 100mg daily to 25mg daily - start insulin per the sliding scale provided - start midodrine 10mg by mouth three times daily - start acetaminophen 325mg by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain (do not exceed 2grams/day) - start miralax 17g by mouth daily as needed for constipation please continue the other medications you were taking prior to this admission. followup instructions: please follow-up with the following

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 known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: right retroesophageal abscess, esophageal perforation, sarcoidosis. major surgical or invasive procedure: flexible esophagoscopy, incision and drainage of right retroesophageal phlegmon. history of present illness: 32 yo female with a history of sarcoid who presents on transfer from an osh with a question of a deep neck space infection. her history is notable for about a 5 day history of dysphagia and odynophagia. she has no prior issues with eating or drinking and no recent neck trauma. she was evaluated today at an osh. ct scan showed a right side paraesphageal phlegmon from the level of the inferior aspect of the thyroid gland to just above the aorta. she has no airway complaints at this time. she was started 5 days ago on a course of levoquin and a prednisone taper. the orl service is consulted for assistance with a deep neck space infection. past medical history: sarcoid social history: live with family, nonsmoker brief hospital course: ms. was admitted to the medical center on . give her clinical presentation and possibility of deep neck space infection based on extent of ct scan, the decision was made to take the patient to the or. thoracic surgery was also consulted in the ed who agreed with the plan and was ready should their involvement become necessary. she underwent flexible esophagoscopy and deep neck exploration of the retro/paraesophageal space. post-operatively, she was taken to the trauma surgical icu with a penrose drain from the neck incision for further care. while in the icu, she was started on zosyn and flagyl, placed on iv fluids with nothing per mouth. a chest x-ray did not find pneumomediastinum and her lungs were clear. repeat cxrs had in slight interval increase in the mediastinal width which remained stable after a subsequent day of observation. clinically, she remained afebrile with tachycardia to the 110s that resolved prior to transfer from the icu. a swab from the neck was sterile and her neck wound remained clean, dry without erythema. however, 1 of 2 blood cultures taken from the or returned positive for gram positive cocci in pairs/clusters. infectious disease was consulted and recommended antibiotic coverage of vancomycin and zosyn. her wbc decreased appropriately and repeat blood cultures were sterile. rheumatology was also consulted for question of esophageal involvement of her sarcoidosis as a cause for the perforation. their suspicion was very low that a rheumatologic cause was the reason for her perforation. after a watchful period in the icu with stable cxrs, ms. was transferred to the floor. her pain was intially controlled with a pca pump, then transitioned to oral medications once taking po. an esophageal leak study was performed on pod5 which did not find evidence of a leak. her diet was slowly advance to sips of clear liquids, then clear liquids, then full liquids which she tolerated. she did complain of difficulty swallowing pills and a globus sensation, so her medications were switched to a liquid form. the patient continued on zosyn on the floor and a swab of her penrose drainage returned sterile. her wbc trended down to within normal limits and she remained afebrile without evidence of cellulitis of her wound site. the penrose drain was discontinued prior to discharge. on pod5, she was found to have an elevated creatinine. medicine was consulted for question of atn. urine studies were consistent with atn and the hypothesis was a drug-induced nephropathy. renal ultrasound found slightly hyperechoic renal parenchyma compatible with medical renal disease without hydronephrosis or renal vasculature abnormalities. infectious disease recommended switching zosyn for clindamycin. repeat chemistry studies found demonstrated a down-trending creatinine level. a repeat level should be checked closely as an outpatient. ms. was discharged to home in good condition on . at the time, she was afebrile and hemodynamically stable. her neck was flat, wound clean and intact without erythema. her cranial nerves were intact. she ambulated independently and her pain was well controlled on oral medications. she will complete a 3 week total course of antibiotics (finishing with po clindamycin) and follow-up with dr. from infectious disease. she was also recommended to follow-up with her pcp to have her creatinine level checked. finally, she will follow-up with dr. as an outpatient. medications on admission: prednisone taper discharge medications: 1.

****************** reports: cxr: impression: there has been marked interval increase in the size of the cardiac silhouette with, in particular, a somewhat globular configuration. underlying cardiomyopathy along with a possible accompanying pericardial effusion may account for this appearance. there is also mild perihilar opacity which could be related to underlying central vascular congestion and early interstitial edema. bilateral pleural effusions support the possible negative fluid balance. incidentally noted, but not mentioned above, there is healed deformity of the mid diaphysis of the left clavicle from prior fracture. cta: 1. apparent filling defect demonstrated within a right upper lobe subsegmental branch compatible with pulmonary embolism, age indeterminate. expansion of the vessel and overall morphology suggests an acute component. also chronic embolism noted in right lower lobe segmental branches. 2. diffuse centrally located ground-glass opacification and right greater than left pleural effusions, most compatible with a component of congestive heart failure. 3. cardiomegaly. 4. mediastinal lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology. tte: the right atrium is moderately dilated. a patent foramen ovale is present. there is symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity is unusually small. the right ventricular cavity is markedly dilated with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. there is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. impression: patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunting at rest. dilated and hypokinetic right ventricle. small left ventricle with preserved systolic function. at least moderate tricuspid regurgitation. severe pulmonary hypertension. cxr: tube is probably within the proximal stomach. heart is enlarged. there is no definite vascular congestion, although the central vessels appear somewhat prominent. no suspicious infiltrates or pleural effusions are noted. old fractures of the left clavicle and humerus are again noted. cxr:an enteric feeding tube tip terminates within the stomach. there are no new focal opacities concerning for pneumonia. there may be perihilar opacification that may indicate a component of mild interstitial pulmonary edema. there is stable cardiomegaly. there are no large pleural effusions or pneumothorax. impression: no evidence of focal pneumonia. speech and swallow: findings: barium passes freely through the oropharynx into the esophagus without evidence of holdup. there is mild-to-moderate residue in the valleculae after a bite of crackers; however, there is no gross aspiration or penetration. 05:50am blood wbc-9.6 rbc-4.98

course: ms is an 80 year old female with history of tia and pe on coumadin who presented with hypoxia. hypoxia was believed to be secondary to volume overload based on clinical exam. pt has known right heart failure and pulmonary htn from chronic pes, with a patent pfo causing right to left shunting that seems to become clinically significant in setting of volume overload. she was evaluated by the cardiology service who recommended against closure of pfo given need for permanent anticoagulation for pe. they also felt that the pfo was unlikely to be clinically significant if patient maintained euvolemic status. she was started on sildenafil and diuresed in the micu and the floor, home amlodipine was held to allow room for diuresis with blood pressure, not restarted given pressures in the 120s. at the time of discharge she was euvolemic on 1l oxygen by nasal cannula, dry weight today is 39.1kg. she will require daily weights and weekly electrolyte checks with addition of 20mg po if there is concern for increased volume. she also developed multifactorial delirium hypercalcemia, prolonged hospital stay, possibly poor sleep and underlying dementia. an infectious work-up on the floor was negative for uti, pneumonia, cellulitis. she was found to be hypercalcemic to 11.3, pth high normal, started on cinacalcet for hypercalcemia/primary hyperparathyroidism per the endocrine team. there was concern about bisposphonate use with gerd and immobility. mirtazipine for chronic insomnia was reduced from 12.5mg to 7.5mg. she was started on seroquel 12.5mg as the most sedating antipsychotic to improve sleep and hopefully reduce daytime somnolence. be stopped on if pt is sleeping well. during her hosptialization she was evaluated by speech and swallow who found her to be aspirating food and liquid with two failed video swallows. she had a dobhoff placed temporarily to maintain nutrition. repeat video swallow evaluation when patient's mental status was improved allowed patient to tolerate modified diet . she was restarted on thin liquids, ensure plus three times a day, and moist ground solids and crushed meds. aspriation precautions should be maintained. her hospitalization was also complicated by electrolyte disturbances from overdiuresis, which was easily corrected with free water flushes. she was noted to have an ecoli uti treated with ceftriaxone x 7 days. to do: - daily weights, weekly assement of volume status and weekly electrolye checks, pt demonstrate any signs of volume overload lasix 20mg po should be added to maintain euvolemic state. - calcium check in q weekly x 1month to monitor for efficacy treatment of cinacalcet. - cinacalcet should be increased to 30mg in 2 weeks if persistent hypercalcemia - d/c seroquel as mental status improves - encourage oral nutrition - daily physical therapy - will need four week follow up with dr. medications on admission: mirtazapine 15 mg tablet qhs amlodipine 10 mg tablet daily

discharge instructions: dear ms. , it was a pleasure taking care of you. you were admitted to the hospital because you were having trouble breathing and the levels of oxygen in your blood were found to be very low. it was thought that your low oxygen level was due to having too much fluid in your body, building up in your lungs, as well as due to increased pressure in the blood vessels in your lungs. you were also found to have a hole in your heart between two compartments which allowed blood without oxygen to go straight to the rest of your body without going to your lungs. because of the increased fluid in your body you were given a pill to make you urinate to reduce your fluids. you were also started on a medication called sildenafil to treat the increased pressure in your lung blood vessels. as you had less fluid in your body, the amount of fluid going through the hole in your heard decreased. when we spoke to the cardiologists, they recommended against closing the hole because they felt it was not contributing much to your low oxygen. you improved as the amount of oxygen in your blood increased. you also became a little confused and sleepy while you were in the hospital which we think was due to being in the hospital for a long time, as well as having high calcium in your blood. you were started on a medication called cinacalcet to reduce your calcium levels. you were also started on a medication called sildenafil to reduce the high blood pressure in your lungs to improve your breathing. please make the following changes to your medications: - stop amlodipine - start sildenafil - start cinacalcet - start seroquel 12.5mg nightly for short term use only - decrease mirtazapine - increase calcium 1000mg daily - vitamin d to 800mg daily. it is very important that you attend all your follow up appointments. followup instructions: please set up an appointment with ms. primary care physician within one week of discharge. please set up a follow up 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: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: gi bleed major surgical or invasive procedure: upper endoscopy exploratory laparotomy, ligation of duodenal with biopsy, vagotomy and j-tube placement. history of present illness: briefly, this is a 69 year old male with hx copd (on steroids) cad s/p cabg, duodenal , admitted with recurrence of gi bleed. he was hospitalized at from for gib. he had reportedly received 21 units of blood at outside hospitalizations but after an endoscopy at an osh he remained without further bleeding for 48 hours before his admission. during the admission he had a nonbleeding duodenal clipped and another shallow, nonbleeding monitored; he required no blood transfusions. he was sent to rehab, found to have continued bleeding with 1-2 loose black stools/day and was sent to (hospitalization was /-). initially, his primary issue was some respiratory distress for which he had an ultrasound guided right sided thoracentesis with removal of 600 cc of serious fluid. this improved his dyspnea but he has continued to have issues with unstable blood volume and chronic blood loss. he was transfused to 9.1 on but then dropped back to 7.5 by . he had an egd on , which revealed a posterior dudodenal with visible vessel and active bleeding that was secured with clip, bicap cautery, and epinephrine injection. he also had diffuse erosive gastropathy noted. presumably, he was transfused again on to a hgb of 10 that had fell to 8.6 today on . thus, he was transfused a unit on before being transferred here for continued care. overall he recieved 5u prbc at . . on arrival to the floor he was found to have stable vs,denied any chest pain, worsened dyspnea from his baseline, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, constipation, syncope, presyncope, fevers, chills, night sweats or other acute issues. he reported he felt well but was frustrated with the continued issues relating to this bleed and was asymptomatic with a hct of 33.6 decreased to 28.5 this am. he continues to have black tarry stools. a rectal this am showed brown stool in the vault, which was guiac positive. past medical history: - cad s/p cabgx4 - chf - atrial fibrillation/flutter - htn - hyperlipidemia - dm type ii complicated by neuropathy - copd v. boop v. asbestos (although per last

service for evaluation and treatment. the patient presented with recurrence of his gi bleed. this has been a difficult to control issue over the last months. most recent egd revealed discrete duodenal ulcers with visible vessel and persistent bleeding as well as oozing gastritis. he has had multiple attempts to achieve permanent hemostasis of the that have likely been made more problem by his continued steroid use. an endoscopy on showed a 25mm duodenal with visible vessels and this was clipped and cauterized. the patient continued however to have melanotic stools and required additional blood transfusions although his vital signs were stable and he was asymptomatic throughout. a repeat endoscopy on showed active bleeding with blood clots at the previously clipped single bleeding in the pylorus channel. he was maintained on a ppi drip initially, and then transitioned to a oral ppi post endoscopy. his prednisone which he was taking for his pulmonary disease were tapered back to his baseline 10mg daily. given the refractoriness of his ulcers to endoscopic intervention, he was transferred to the surgical service for surgical intervention. on , the patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy, ligation of duodenal with biopsy, vagotomy and j-tube placement. the surgery went well without complication (reader referred to the operative note for details). after a brief, uneventful stay in the pacu, the patient was transferred to the sicu intubated secondary to his lung disease, npo, on iv fluids and antibiotics, with a foley catheter, and on propofol/fentanyl for pain control. he was extubated and tube feeds were started. the patient continued to do well and was transfered to the floor. the patient was hemodynamically stable. neuro: the patient received roxicet with good effect and adequate pain control. cv: postoperatively, the patient remained stable from a cardiovascular standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. he presented with diffuse edema and anasarca. he did have a bnp in the 8000's and was found to be in a chf flare. he received aggressive diuresis with effect. he received diuretics with all blood transfusions preoperatively. no signs/symptoms of active ischemia. presistently elevated troponin (0.04) presumably due to renal failure. he was in atrial fibrillation. because of his gi bleed, he was initially started on lower doses of his beta blocker, however he did not achieve good rate control on these lower doses, and so he resumed his home dose of metoprolol with effect. pulmonary: the patient remained stable from a pulmonary standpoint; pulmonology service was involved in his care and they made recommendations regarding his steroid regimen that he is currently on for his lung disease. vital signs were routinely monitored. good pulmonary toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirrometry were encouraged throughout hospitalization. gi/gu/fen: post-operatively, the patient was made npo with iv fluids. diet was advanced when appropriate, which was well tolerated. he is on tube feeds (nutren 2.0 @40cc/hour that we have been weaning down (now at 20cc/hour) as we advanced his diet to regular. patient's intake and output were closely monitored, and iv fluid was adjusted when necessary. electrolytes were routinely followed, and repleted when necessary. id: the patient's white blood count and fever curves were closely watched for signs of infection. wound care .... endocrine: the patient's blood sugar was monitored throughout his stay; insulin dosing was adjusted accordingly. hematology: the patient's complete blood count was examined routinely; no transfusions were required postoperatively. msk: tendon rupture: the patient experienced the sensation of his wrist popping during use, although he had no hand trauma. since then he was unable to extend his fourth and fifth right fingers, however sensation was . neurology was consulted and felt that there was no neurologic pattern to his deficit. hand service was consulted and his hand was splinted, with recommendation for mri. he was scheduled to follow up with the hand service as an outpatient. prophylaxis: the patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were used during this stay; was encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible. at the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. the patient was tolerating a regular diet and tube feeds, ambulating, voiding with assistance, and pain was well controlled. the patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions

the suggestion of transient right ventricular diastolic collapse in some views, consistent with impaired fillling/tamponade physiology. impression: moderate sized pericardial effusion with early tamponade physiology. compared with the findings of the prior study the rv is smaller and there is now echocardiographic evidence of early tamponade. . pericardiocentesis/ right heart cath pericardiocentesis: was performed via the subxyphoid approach, using an 18 gauge thin-wall needle, a guide wire, and a drainage catheter. right heart catheterization: was performed using a 5f pa catheter advanced through a 5f venous sheath in the right femoral vein. . echo 3:40am the estimated right atrial pressure is at least 15 mmhg. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a very small pericardial effusion. the effusion appears

moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension is now appreciated; its absence/presence was not previously assessed. . cxr there is moderate increased in size of the cardiac sillouethe. the mediastinum is widened. bilateral pleural effusions are large, associated with left greater than right adjacent atelectasis. there is mild vascular congestion. there is no evident pneumothorax. . ct chest 1. apparent mediastinal widening on the chest radiograph is explained by technical factors and mediastinal congestion. no evidence of meadiastinal hematoma or mass lesion. 2. following pericardiocentesis mild pericardial fluid remains, no evidence of cardiac tamponade. 3. bilateral, moderate, posteriorly layering pleural effusions with no pleural thickening or enhancement, could be partially hemorrhagic, exudate or longstanding transudate. . cxr 1. bilateral pleural effusions with interval increase in left pleural effusion. 2. slightly increased mediastinal widening. attention on followup is recommended. 3. mild vascular congestion is slightly improved. . cxr bilateral pleural effusions obscure cardiac silhouette. thus interval change in its size cannot be entirely assessed, although no substantial change within this limited assessment is noted. mediastinal contours are unchanged. left and right perihilar opacities most likely represent mild degree of pulmonary edema. . pericardial fluid culture : staph coag neg blood culture x 2 : pending urine culture : negative stool c diff : negative brief hospital course: 75yo female with pmhx of afib, s/p pvi complicated by pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology requiring pericardiocentesis with inadvertent access and injection of dye into the pleural space, now with pleural effusions, pulmonary

aggressively but still had oxygen requirement. there was low suspicion for pneumonia although the patient did have a leukocytosis, as she had no localizing symptoms and her cxr was more concerning for fluid overload secondary to aggressive fluids given during rescicitation for pericardial tamponade. she did have one pericardial fluid grow coag negative staph but it was thought to be likely contaminant. . # pericardial effusion: the patient had a sigificant pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology which formed after pvi. she received pericardiocentesis and tolerated the procedure well, the drain was not left in the pericardium as the patient was experiencing too much pain the drain. her pericardial effusion has not reaccumulated as seen on informal bedside echo done after the pericardiocentesis. she did have some positional pain after the pericardiocentesis, which was thought to be pericarditis and the patient was started on colchicine. . # leukocotysis: the patient has developed a leukocytosis with a white count from 16 to 22.9 and then trended down to 10.1. one culture from pericardial fluid growing gpc although clinically does not appear to have purulent pericarditis. she has been afebrile. her ua is negative, blood cultures no growth to date. pulmonary source considered given alveolar findings on imaging and antibiotics were not given. . # atrial

embolize if possible. contrast: optiray medical condition: 64 year old woman with active gi bleed seen on enteroscopy but no site identified. reason for this examination: evaluate for source of bleeding. embolize if possible. indication: history of recurrent active gi bleeding seen on enteroscopy, but no site identified. comparison: images from a prior mesenteric angiogram from . physicians: the procedure was performed by drs. and , with dr. , the attending radiologist, being present and supervising throughout the procedure. dr. reviewed the exam. procedure: prior to initiation of the procedure, written informed consent was obtained and a preprocedure timeout was performed. the right groin was prepped and draped in sterile fashion. a 19-gauge needle was used to access the right femoral artery, after which a 0.035 guide wire was advanced through the needle. the needle was exchanged for a 5 french sheath. a 4 french cobra glide catheter was advanced over the needle, and the tip was positioned within the celiac artery. the wire was removed, and contrast injected with arteriogram demonstrating no areas of active extravasation arising from branches of the celiac artery. the catheter was then positioned within the sma. contrast was injected and sma arteriogram was performed, and a focal area of contrast extravasation was identified, localized to a branch of the sma adjacent to the embolized area on the prior exam. based on the diagnostic findings, it was decided to proceed with embolization. a fast tracker microcatheter was then advanced through the cobra catheter and positioned within the bleeding vessel. the vessel was then embolized with two 2 mm x 1 cm microcoils. contrast was then injected demonstrating successful embolization of this bleeding vessel. however, bleeding was noted to have started from a new adjacent area, which could not be embolized. the catheters were then removed. the sheath was removed and manual compression was applied for 20 minutes until adequate hemostasis was achieved. anesthesia: local anesthesia was provided with 8 cc of 1% lidocaine. 2.5 mg of versed and 125 mcg of fentanyl were also administered. contrast: 100 ml of iv optiray contrast was administered. complications: no immediate complications. impression: 1. mesenteric angiogram demonstrated active contrast extravasation from a branch of the sma adjacent to the area of the previously embolized vessel. this vessel was successfully embolized with two microcoils. 2. subsequent injection after successful embolization demonstrated area of contrast extravasation adjacent to the embolized artery. access could not be obtained to this vessel, and this could not be embolized. results were discussed with the covering attending physician immediately after the procedure. radiology final report gi bleeding study gi bleeding study reason: egd but continues to have melena indication: 64-year-old woman with history of upper gi bleeding presenting with continued melena. a recent upper endoscopy was negative. interpretation: following intravenous injection of autologous red blood cells labelled with technetium-m, blood flow and dynamic images of the abdomen for 60 minutes were obtained. the flow images are limited, in that they represent posterior views. the dynamic blood flow images show bleeding, which begins in the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum, starting at 9 minutes, and then passing distally. the more likely source is the proximal jejunum. impression: evidence of active gastrointestinal bleeding, with the source either the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum. name birthdate age sex pathology # , 64 female report to: dr. . gross description by: dr. . /dif specimen submitted: small bowel--2 parts.. procedure date tissue received

had had the av malformation coiled to see whether or not it would be therapeutic. it was not and she was admitted about 72 hours ago on the medical service and underwent a series of studies including a push enteroscopy by dr. which did not see any bleeding, followed by a labeled red cell scan which showed bleeding in the left upper quadrant and followed by an angiogram and coiling of an area which they thought showed extravasation. she also received a total of 4u of prbcs with hcts checked every 6 hours. she did, however, continued to bleed and therefore was taken to the icu, surgery consult was obtained. she was stabilized overnight and the first thing in the morning, when the gastroenterologist would be available for the push enteroscopy in case we needed it, she was taken to the or for exploratory laparotomy. multiple avms were found, small bowel resection x 2 were performed with reanastamosis and ligation of avms x 3. patient was extubated in the operating room and then taken 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: the patient is an 84 year old male who had a long standing history of gastroesophageal reflux disease and barrett's esophagus and had high grade dysplasia diagnosed on recent endoscopy. the patient elected to have an esophagectomy performed. past medical history: 1. hypertension. 2. question renal insufficiency. 3. gastroesophageal reflux disease. medications: 1. norvasc. 2. prilosec. 3. carafate. physical examination: on admission, the patient is an elderly man in no acute distress. vital signs are stable. afebrile. chest is clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular is regular rate and rhythm without murmur, rub or gallop. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended without masses or organomegaly. extremities are warm, not cyanotic and not edematous times four. neurological is grossly intact. hospital course: the patient was taken to the operating room on , where he underwent transhiatal esophagectomy without significant complication. in the postoperative course, he was initially admitted under the intensive care unit care and kept in the post anesthesia care unit overnight. the patient was seen to have a low urine output and both metabolic and respiratory acidosis and was given approximately 8.5 liters of crystalloid in the perioperative period, including or. the patient was briefly agitated in the post anesthesia care unit and discontinued his nasogastric tube. on postoperative day number one, the patient was doing well with a fairly normalized blood gas of 7.35/43/94/25/minus 1 and was transferred to the floor. on postoperative day two, the patient was seen to have a baseline oxygen requirement of 70% face mask in the morning but was saturating well and otherwise seemed to be doing relatively well. the patient had a white count of 22.1 which prompted a chest x-ray showing bilateral pleural effusion and patchy bibasilar atelectasis but no focal infiltrates. over the course of the day, the patient had deteriorating in his respiratory status and became increasingly tachypneic with wheezing and coarse breath sounds. an ekg was performed which showed atrial fibrillation but no ischemic changes. a baseline arterial blood gas was obtained at that point which was 7.37/47/86/28/zero, again on 70% face mask. intravenous fluids were then stopped and the patient was begun on 20 mg of intravenous lasix and albuterol nebulizers. the patient was transferred to another floor for telemetry purposes and cycled for myocardial infarction. his respiratory status during transfer seemed somewhat improved. upon arrival to the other floor, the patient stopped respiring briefly and went bradycardic. upon stimulation, he was tachycardic to the 110s with a blood pressure 130/70. immediately subsequent to that the patient went pulseless and into respiratory and cardiac arrest and was down for approximately two to three minutes. cpr was begun and the patient intubated and 15 to 20 cc. of brownish fluid was suctioned from the endotracheal tube post intubation. the patient regained pulse and cardiac activity and was transferred to the intensive care unit. cardiac consultation at that time recommended aspirin, cycling enzymes and agreed with probable aspiration event. they suggested a heparin drip but not is surgically contraindicated. a heparin drip was not started. the patient ruled in for myocardial infarction with a troponin of 26.5. in the patient's intensive care unit stay, he was supported with a dopamine drip and diuresed for fluid overload. pressors were weaned off on postoperative day number eight. respiratory function was supported throughout his intensive care unit course appropriately with mechanical ventilation. the patient was noted to be unresponsive after the aspiration event, with some slow return of responsiveness over the next several days, but no purposeful movement. to evaluate possible neurologic injury, a ct scan was obtained after the patient was felt to be stable enough to be transferred. on postoperative day six, the ct scan showed no acute intracranial event but was consistent with chronic microvascular infarction. eeg was also obtained which revealed diffuse widespread encephalopathy. there was a question of possible seizure activity involving the left upper extremity and phenytoin was begun empirically. a repeat eeg was obtained on postoperative day number 10 and again showed moderately severe diffuse encephalopathy with no seizure focus. a neurology consultation was obtained and assessed the patient to have minimal chance for a meaningful recovery. in accordance with the patient's living will, the family's wishes and discussion with the surgical attending, the patient was made comfort measures only and expired on postoperative day number 11. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more parenteral infusion of concentrated

reduction in the elevation of the palate, with mild reduction in laryngeal valve closure and absent epiglottic deflection. there was a large amount of residue within the vallecula after each swallow, with minimal clearing despite multiple swallows. aspiration/penetration: patient had an episode of laryngeal penetration with thin liquids. no aspiration was seen. impression: severe oropharyngeal dysphagia, with large amount of residue seen within the pharynx, and an episode of penetration. =============== ap upright chest: there has been little change since the most recent prior study with poorly defined right heart border with adjacent patchy opacity. no new areas concerning for infection are identified, and there is no evidence of pulmonary edema. there may be mild posterior blunting of the right costophrenic angle. impression: stable right middle lobe opacity, compatible with pneumonia. =============== echo conclusions the left atrium is moderately dilated. no left atrial mass/thrombus seen (best excluded by transesophageal echocardiography). there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). the estimated cardiac index is normal (>=2.5l/min/m2). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is moderately dilated at the sinus level. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with mild mitral regurgitation. the tricuspid regurgitation jet is eccentric and may be underestimated. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. =============== comparison: ct torso, . technique: axial imaging was performed from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm following the uneventful administration of iv contrast. coronal and sagittal reformations were provided. ct chest with iv contrast: there is no central or main pulmonary embolus or aortic dissection. however, the timing of contrast bolus, as well as respiratory motion significantly limits evaluation of the more distal branches and pulmonary parenchyma. there is central right middle lobe opacification with air bronchograms, consistent with pneumonic consolidation. there is also left basilar atelectasis as well as opacification with mild mucoid impaction of the left lower lobe bronchi. the bronchi are otherwise patent to the subsegmental level. there is no pleural or pericardial effusion. a g-tube is in the expected location. coronary artery calcifications are not changed in appearance. there is a pattern of diffuse osteopenia. there is moderate degenerative change of the thoracic spine. impression: 1. no central or main pulmonary embolus or aortic dissection. respiratory motion severely limits evaluation beyond main pulmonary branches. 2. right middle lobe pneumonia. brief hospital course: this is a 75 year-old male with a squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharnx who presents with fever, shakes, productive cough, altered mental status. . # right middle lobe pneumonia: noted on admission chest ct. bacterial versus aspiration pneumonia. he was treated with levofloxacin to complete a 10 day course. he was kept npo (he came in npo, getting nutrition through g tube which was placed for his chemo/radiation for his cancer). his symptoms improved and oxygenation remained stable. . # atrial fibrillation: mr. developed atrial fibrillation during his hospital course with rapid ventricular response. his tsh was checked and was normal. his atrial fibrillation was attributed to his acute illness and recent radiation. he was given metoprolol (changed from his outpatient atenolol, short acting for titration) which was titrated up to 150 mg per tube tid. coumadin was also initiated after discussion with patient and cardiology. however, it was held after his platelets dropped below 50k. the decision to hold until seen in follow up by oncology was discussed with the patient, his wife, and his oncology providers. tentatively, we thought bridging anticoagulation with lovenox, started after his platelets increased, would be best in light of the need for future port placement. echo was obtained and is copied in results section. cardiology consult was obtained and assisted with his care throughout his hospital course, as the patient is followed by dr. as an outpatient. . # thrombocytopenia/pancytopenia: patients platelet count was noted to trend down during his hospital course, and the rest of his blood lines also trended down. although this was felt likely due to his recent chemotherapy with carboplatin, his subcutaneous heparin was held and a hit antibody was sent which was negative. they began to rebound prior to discharge, and will be followed closely by his outpatient oncologists. . # squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx: recently completed radiation course, chemo, changed from cisplatin to carboplatin. his outpatient oncologist followed him throughout his hospital course and he will follow up with them on discharge. . # mucositis: related to his recent chemo/radiation as above. he was treated with viscous lidocaine/maalox/benadryl prn. . # anemia: remained stable during hospital course except during trend down as above (pancytopenia). attributed to his recent chemotherapy. . # benign hypertension: continued his outpatient medications, along with titration of nodal blocking agents as above. . #

3. stable chronic subdural collection along the left convexity. 4. stable diffuse ventricular dilatation with stable intraventricular hemorrhage. cxr : findings: in comparison with the study , the opacification at both bases persists, most likely reflecting bilateral atelectasis. the possibility of supervening pneumonia cannot definitely excluded in the absence of a lateral view. the degree of free intraperitoneal gas is decreased, a finding related to prior tube placement. tracheostomy tube and right central catheter remain in place. upper extremity u/s right : nonocclusive thrombus in the right axillary and upper right basilic veins. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the icu after having an mva and was intubated and sedated. on repeat imaging his bleeds were increasing. therefore on a bolt was placed to monitor icp. additionally it was felt that his neuro exam was slightly worse. his icp remained normal and the bolt was removed on . the patient received a trach and peg on as he was unable to be extubated. his family consented to this procedure but they did make his code status dnr. on the patient was found to have drainage from the wound on his right

one from each set). surveillance blood cultures were negative at . urine cultures and stool tests for c. difficile were negative as well. a diagnostic paracentecis was done at which was negative but was performed while he was already on antibiotics. initially he was broadly covered with vancomycin, levofloxacin, and flagyl. as his white count began to come down and his cultures remained negative, vancomycin was discontinued and he was continued on levofloxacin and flagyl. . # cirrhosis: this was thought most likely due to etoh given his history of heavy etoh use. hepatitis serologies were negative as were and hiv test. an ama was positive at 1:160. he was treated supportively with nutrition, folate, mvi, and vitamin k and multiple therapeutic paracenteces for dyspnea. complications included hematemesis which an associated fall in hematocrit. an egd showed no active site of bleeding but did show grade 2 varices, portal gastropathy, and linear erosions. he also had a persistently elevated bilirubin. an mrcp revealed multiple peribiliary cysts some of which were extrinsically compressing the biliary system. an ercp was performed and a stent was placed into the left hepatic duct. following this his bilirubin remained elevated and at discharge was around 40. . # hypotension: he was initially hypotensive to the 70s and required to be in the micu for one night following his ercp. his blood pressure stabilized into the mid 90s and he was called out to the floor. the differential for his hypotension included hypoalbuminemia due to his cirrhosis vs. sepsis due to his staph bacteremia. he had persistent hypotension with systolics in the 70s to 90s but he had good mentation through this and this was thought to be due to his underlying liver disease. he was supported with intermittent albumin. . # heme: he had a baseline macrocytic anemia due to his alcoholism. he also had a few episodes of hematemesis and an egd showed grade 2 varices, portal gastropathy, and linear erosions but no active site of bleeding. he required intermittent support with red blood cell transfusions. he also had thrombocytopenia thought secondary to his liver disease and alcoholism and he required intermittent platelet transfusions. . # hyponatremia: this was thought to be secondary to his cirrhosis and he was fluid restricted. . # non-gap metabolic acidosis: this was thought most likely due to diarrhea as his renal function was normal. . # dispo: after several weeks of supportive treatment, he felt subjectively about the same but, given the severity of his disease and his poor prognosis, he wished to orient his care towards comfort measures. at this point non-essential medications were stopped and he was treated supportively with pain medications and anti-emetics as needed. on he passed away. medications on admission: was not taking any medications prior to hospitalization. meds on transfer: levaquin 500mg iv q24 flagyl 500mg iv q8 vanco 1g iv q12 midodrine 5 mg po tid vit k 5mg sc x 3 days folic acid valium ciwa scale discharge medications: n/a discharge disposition: extended care discharge diagnosis: 1. alcoholic hepatitis/cirrhosis. discharge condition: expired. discharge instructions: n/a followup instructions: n/a procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified other endoscopy of small intestine other endoscopy of small intestine percutaneous abdominal drainage percutaneous abdominal drainage percutaneous abdominal drainage endoscopic sphincterotomy and papillotomy endoscopic insertion of stent (tube) into bile duct transfusion of packed cells transfusion of other serum transfusion of platelets diagnoses: thrombocytopenia, unspecified tobacco use disorder acute and subacute necrosis of liver alcoholic cirrhosis of liver acute kidney failure, unspecified acquired coagulation factor deficiency hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia diaphragmatic hernia without mention of obstruction or gangrene bacteremia other specified disorders of biliary tract hematemesis other disorders of plasma protein metabolism esophageal varices in diseases classified elsewhere, without mention of bleeding other specified disorders of stomach and duodenum cholangitis obstruction of bile duct other and unspecified alcohol dependence, unspecified acute alcoholic hepatitis folate-deficiency anemia Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: metformin attending: chief complaint: sob and body aches major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: this is an 81 year old female with history of asthma, dm, htn, and osa presenting with increasing lethargy since this morning. per her daughter , the patient has been quite lethargic over the past few days, but tonight at 8pm (the evening prior to admission), she complained of "pain everywhere" and her mental status deteriorated quickly from there with decreased responsiveness. she described a sensation of difficulty breathing, pointing to her throat, and asked to call 911. when ems arrived, she was minimally responsive, hypoxic on room air, but still protecting her airway. fs measured at 190. she denies any access to narcotic medications in the house and the patient takes ibuprofen only for her chronic osteoarthritis pain. most recent changes in meds were addition of olanzapine and increased in gabapentin dose about 1 month ago. . in the ed, she was minimally verbally responsive, did not follow commands, and was not reactive to pain (iv stick). her lungs were clear and head ct unremarkable. her o2 sats dropped to 78% on 2l nc, improved to 96% when sat upright. portable cxr showed some bilateral pleural effusions and some vascular congestion, with bnp of 351 (mildly elevated above her baseline). she received naloxone without any change in her mental status. she also received 1 dose each of vanc/zosyn as well as 40mg iv lasix and a nitro gtt. she received 1.5 hours of cpap and a repeat abg was unchanged (7.20/123/67/50). her last normal abg in was 7.43/56/119/38. she was then intubated, with subsequent improvement in her abg to 7.45/57/86/41, and started on propofol. she was afebrile at transfer with

brief hospital course: this is an 81 year old woman with history of asthma and osa who presented with progressive decrease in the level of consciousness secondary to co2 narcosis that was refractory to naloxone and noninvasive ventilation. she developed hypercapnic respiratory failure (recurrent, her last admission for hypercarbia was in that responded quickly to bipap from an asthma exacerbation caused by influenza). she has stopped using bipap at home for several months (due to development of tactile hallucinations). she was intubated for several hours while in he icu for hypercapnic respiratory failure (micu attributed that to increased doses of gabapentin and olanzapine and hypoventilation). she was extubated without complication. she has a high c02 at baseline. her head ct showed no central cause of hypercarbia. infectious work up was negative, she had no leukocytosis, and there was no evidence of sirs/sepsis. she was on tamiflu until her influenza returned negative. she received antibiotics in the ed but these were discontinued in the icu as there was no clear infectious etiology. she grew staph aureus that is coag negative and her vancomycin was stopped. she was

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: hypercarbic respiratory failure major surgical or invasive procedure: rigid bronchoscopy intubation central line placement history of present illness: 58 y/o woman w/ sclc, metastatic, s/p xrt, chemo with recent non-response to chemotherapy admitted to with dyspnea. she was found to have a right upper lobe collapse, and a pleural effusion. a pleurex catheter was placed. she was transfered to for ip evaluation and possible tracheal stenting. bronchoscopy however, demonstrated extensive involvement of the right mainstem, right upper lobe, right middle lobe, and right lower lobe with tumor. she is not a candidate for a stent given distal airway disease. after the procedue she developed hypercarbic respiratory failure. they attempted non-invasive ventilation but she failed this with continued hypercapnea. she was intubated with initial vent settings of pressure support 22/5 peep, 50% fi02. her rr was 30-40. she was tachycardic and an attempt was made to obtain a cta of her chest. she was hypotensive to the 50s sytolic during the study and was returned to the tsciu. she was then transfered to the micu. . when in the micu, she was transitioned to volume control ventilation with tv 350/rr 20/100% fi02 and 10 peep. her abgs improved on these settings. given her

svc. there is even further diffuse opacification involving the right hemithorax with congestion in the left lung. the possibility of a left lower lung pneumonia can certainly not be excluded. . cxr : no previous images. there is extensive opacification of the right hemithorax consistent with some combination of pleural effusion, atelectasis, and pneumonia. the mediastinal structures appear to be within the midline. the left lung is clear. . ct head : enhancing mass lesions centered within the left thalamus, right pons and left cerebellar hemisphere, concerning for metastatic disease. there is mass effect with downward displacement of the left cerebellar tonsil and compression of the third and fourth ventricles with asymmetric dilatation of the posterior left ventricular . if clinically indicated, further characterization could be performed with contrast-enhanced mri to assess for small lesions not seen on ct. . cxr : little overall change except for placement of nasogastric tube. . cta chest : 1. no evidence of pulmonary embolus. 2. known mass replacing the majority of the right lung and significantly compressing both the pulmonary arterial and bronchial trees. there is extensive associated thoracic adenopathy. 3. patchy left lung opacity has an appearance more suggestive of an infectious or inflammatory process. brief hospital course: ms. is a 58 y/o female with sclc admitted with hypercarbic respiratory failure, found to have several large brain metastases with tonsillar herniation on head ct. . #) hypercarbic respiratory failure. unclear etiology/inciting event. she did receive sedation, but she had a bronchoscopy the day prior with sedation and no subsequent respiratory failure. brain lesions may be contributing, but no acute herniation event (pupils still reactive). no pe seen on cta. mechanical ventilation continued. nebulizers, steroids, and empiric levofloxacin/metronidazole were started. after a discussion with the family, a mutual goal of weaning the ventilatory was established so that the patient could communicate and interact with her family. she was discharged to hospital on ac 330x30, 80%, 10. . # brain metastasis. found on head ct, large and multiple. had received previous whole brain prophylactic radiation 2 years ago. neurosurgery was consulted and recommended steroids iv as well as mannitol. given the size of the masses, they could be removed prior to any pallitive radiation, but in her current decompensated respiratory state, is unlikely to offer benefit, even short term. if we are able to get her off the ventilator, woudl be reasonable to discuss possible intervention. however, the family believes that she would not want surgery, so the goals of care shifted more towards palliation, with goals to wean the ventilator. . # post-obstructive pneumonia. seen on bronchoscopy, with elevated wbc and fevers to 102. empiric treatment with levofloxacin/metronidazole. . # hypotension: concerning for both hypovolemia and sepsis. other etiologies could be sedation related. central compression also possible. blood, urine, and sputum cultures sent. pressors given as needed (phenylephrine). . # sclc: as

esrd on hd, nephrolithiasis, hypertension who initally presented on with left peri-nephric abscess, prostatic abscess and pseudomonas bacteremia. . # pseudomonas bactremia/pylonephritis/prostatitis/perinephric and prostatic abscesses: patient was in his usual state of health until approximately 2 months ago when he underwent lithotripsy for left kidney stone. however, he had continued symptoms following this procedure, so ultimately underwent ureteroscopy with stent placement approximately 2 weeks prior to admission. 2 days prior to admission, he developed left sided flank pain, malaise, fatiuge, fevers. he presented to hospital with these symptoms on , where ct scan was performed and was suspicious for pylonephritis, prostatitis, left renal absess and possible prostate abscess. he was therefore transferred to for urologic evaluation. he was initially admitted to the icu for peri-sepsis. his work up and evaluation demonstrated definite left peri-nephric abscess, pseudomonas bacteremia, and possible prostatic abscess. he was started on appropriate antibiotics, and urology and id were consulted. he also underwent ir drainage of the left peri-nephric abscess with removal of pus (on - pus grew pseudomonas). the possible prostatic abscess was attempted to be drained at ir as well, but only clear-ish fluid was removed (?urine from bladder). there was thought that perhaps there was no abscess and more edema/prostatitis. he subsequently stabilized in and was called out to the regular medical floor where he was maintained on antibiotics, with urology and id following. on floor, he continued to have severe rectal pain. ultrasound was attempted to evaluate for ?persistent prostatic abscess but was not tolerated due to pain - therefore patient underwent mri that demonstrated clear prostatic abscess. he was therefore taken to the or on by urology with unroofing of the abscess with removal of pus. the procedure was tolerated well, and he was re-admitted to the prophylactically following the procedure. he was then called out to the regular medical floor where he remained stable and was then discharged home. he was discharged to complete a 6 week course of ceftazadime to be dosed at dialysis. he has a foley catheter in placed, and was discharged on tamsulosin and finasteride with follow up scheduled with both urology and infectious disease. his lfts and cbc will need to be monitered on a weekly basis. . # end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis: he is on a mwf schedule. renal was following during this admission. he has a right tunneled hd line which initially renal wanted to remove/change given pseudomonas bacteremia, but id felt the line could stay in. of note, the pt had an av fistula, but this fistula has been damaged by use of a blood pressure cuff over it while maturing, so his only access is his catheter at this time. he was discharged to continue outpatient dialysis. . # hypertension: we held his antihypertensives at admission due to tenuous clinical status. when blood pressure allowed, his lisinopril, clonidine, and amlodipine were restarted. . # anemia: there was no baseline for comparison. likely this is multifactorial from acute marrow suppression and end-stage renal disease. an active type and screen was maintained but there was no need for transfusion. iron studies showed fe 15. reticulocyte count low at 1.5. patient is receiving epo with hd. . # urinary retention: as above, foley catheter was placed and he was started on tamsulosin and finasteride, with urology follow up on discharge. medications on admission: lisinopril 20mg daily amlodipine 10mg daily clonidine 0.1mg twice daily nephrocaps once daily renagel 2400mg three times daily folate 1mg daily bactrim ds

o'clock position using a sphincterotome over an existing guidewire. balloon sweep x 3 was performed with successful extraction of copious amounts of sludge and debris. final cholangiogram was normal without filling defects. . recommendations: npo overnight with aggressive iv hydration with lr at 200 cc/hr. follow for response and complications. if any abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding please call ercp fellow on call () continue aggressive management of pancreatitis. continue antibiotics x 7 days. consider cholecystectomy. . ct abdomen/pelvis: impression: 1. findings consistent with reported diagnosis of pancreatitis with minimally increased peripancreatic and periduodenal fat stranding as well as interval development of notable pancreatico-duodenal groove bowel wall thickening likely related to either groove pancreatitis or duodenal hematoma recent ercp. no complications of pancreatitis such as : splenic venous thrombosis, splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, focal abscess, or phlegmon formation. 2. new bilateral pleural effusions, both small in size, right greater than left. 3. bilateral hyperdense renal cystic lesions likely represent hemorrhagic cysts, could be further evaluated with renal ultrasound. . leni : impression: no dvt in the left upper extremity. . cxr : left picc line tip is at the mid svc. ng tube passes below the diaphragm terminating most likely in the stomach. there is interval development of pulmonary edema on the top of preexisting consolidations in the lung bases. pulmonary hypertension is most likely present the prominence of pulmonary arteries. . head ct: impression: no ct evidence for acute intracranial process. ct abd pelvis: impression: 1. interval increase in peripancreatic stranding and duodenal wall thickening. no pseudocyst or other complication identified. 2. hypodensities within the portal vein adjacent to the pancreatic head may represent flow artifact or less possibly thrombus. attn on followup. 3. poor opacification of smv does not allow for adequate assessment. . cxr: findings: in comparison with the study of , there is continued enlargement of the cardiac silhouette with mild improvement in pulmonary venous pressure. prominent pulmonary arteries are again seen bilaterally. little change in the appearance of the nasogastric tube . video fluoroscopy: swallowing videofluoroscopy: oropharyngeal swallowing videofluoroscopy was performed in conjunction with the speech and swallow division. multiple consistencies of barium were administered. barium passed freely through the oropharynx without evidence of obstruction. there is penetration with thin liquids. there was no gross aspiration. the barium tablet is held up at the vallecula but clears with multiple swallows of barium. degenerative change is seen in the cervical spine. impression: penetration with thin liquids. for details, please refer to speech and swallow note in omr. kub: findings: two upright and two supine frontal views of the abdomen show gaseous distention of several loops of small bowel, increased from . there is gas in non-dilated loops of large bowel as well as the rectum. no air-fluid level or evidence of pneumoperitoneum is detected. multiple calcific densities are noted in the pelvis which may represent vascular calcifications seen on recent ct of . the visualized lung bases demonstrate mild atelectasis. the osseous structures are within normal limits. impression: gaseous distention of the small bowel increased from most likely represents ileus; partial small bowel obstruction cannot be entirely excluded. no free air. kub in comparison with the study of , there is gas within mildly dilated transverse colon. remainder of the bowel gas is essentially within normal limits, so that the overall pattern most likely reflects adynamic ileus. brief hospital course: 74m with a pmh significant for chronic lower extremity pain syndrome (on narcotics and steroids), htn, osa (not on cpap), chronic constipation and undefined asymptomatic cardiac septal defect who presented with acute onset abdominal pain, nausea, emesis and jaundice for 1-day with ct evidence of obstructing common biliary duct stone; mild-moderate transaminitis, hyperbilirubinemia with lipasemia consistent with acute gallstone pancreatitis now s/p ercp with successful sludge extraction. hospital course was complicated by delirium, hypertensive urgency with cp but no evidence of acs. he also developed pulmonary edema from aggressive hydration for his pancreatitis, ileus, and required nutritional supplement with tpn. . #moderate-severe pancreatitis, acute/gallstone pancreatitis/choledocholithiasis w/ obstruction: patient presented with abdominal, nausea, emesis and jaundice for 1-day with ct imaging evidence of obstructing common biliary duct stone; mild-moderate transaminitis, hyperbilirubinemia with lipasemia consistent with gallstone pancreatitis. no prior history of biliary colic or prior episodes of pancreatitis, despite significant alcohol history. ercp evaluated the patient and felt urgent ercp was necessary, this was performed with stone and sludge extraction. pt was felt to have had a moderate pancreatitis and the general surgery and ercp teams followed the patient. pt was aggressive iv fluids and zosyn for concern of possible early cholangitis at osh prior to admission. zosyn was continued for 10 days. pt was iv narcotics and antiemetics for pain control. continued pain on the medical floor, pt had a ct scan of the abdomen performed on showing concern for possible duodenal hematoma vs. edema from pancreatitis. both the ercp and surgery teams felt this to be consistent with edema from pancreatitis stability of hct. ng tube was placed ileus. prolonged, npo status ppn was initiated as there was no central access. repeat ct scan showed interval increase in peripancreatic stranding and duodenal wall thickening. no pseudocyst or other complication identified. his abdominal pain gradually improved. he had a picc line placed for tpn which he pulled out while delirious so it was replaced and he continued on tpn as his diet was gradually advanced. he failed a bedside speech and swallow and underwent video swallow study. speech and swallow recommended ground solids and thin liquids. this should also be low fat and low residue. unfortunately he re-developed nausea and vomiting and kub showed increased gaseous distention. he was made npo again. repeat kub showed ileus. his diet was slowly advanced, and he tolerated it well, without nausea or increase in abdominal pain. at the time of discharge, his diet was low-fat, no dairy, no coffee (as recommended by gi). . #fever/leukocytosis-likely due to above. ct scanning showed acute pancreatitis. no dysuria, diarrhea, or cough to suggest additional causes. lactate normal. pt developed fever to 102 on . vancomycin was added to the zosyn regimen. serial bcx, ucx were drawn which remained negative. repeat cxr and ct abd/pelvis did not show any new signs of infection. vanco was d/ced on and the pt was monitored without any further fever or leukocytosis. zosyn was d/ced on after 10 days (including osh coverage). . #metabolic encephalopathy-initially the patient was a&o x 3 but with developed sundowning and delirium. he denied headache or signs of meningitis. no evidence for seizures. etiology was likely multifactoral related to polypharmacy from opioids, anti-emetics, age, acute illness, hospitalization. infectious work up was unrevealing ekg was not suggestive of ischemia. pt was a 1:1 sitter to prevent pulling out of lines. zyprexa 5mg was administered. head ct showed no acute intracranial abnormalities. his mental status gradually improved and at discharge he is alert and oriented x3, newspapers. . #chest pain/hypertensive urgency-pt developed cp and sob overnight in setting of sbp 180-200. ekg unchanged from prior. serial cardiac biomarkers negative. he was aspirin and sl nitro in that setting. no events were recorded on telemetry. this was likely due to pain, pulmonary edema and hypertensive urgency. pt was placed on standing iv hydralazine and metoprolol which was later transitioned to po metoprolol. lisinopril was also added later in his hospitalization. . #pulmonary edema/volume overload-thhis was related to aggressive fluid resuscitation as recommended for gallstone pancreatitis. iv fluids were decreased and pt was lasix. he required 2l of nc but this was weaned off. . # polymyalgia rheumatica on systemic steroid therapy chronic lower extremity pain - patient presented with long-standing history of chronic lower extremity edema which has been managed with chronic narcotics (percocet), trial of celecoxib and now prednisone dosing (since ) with improvement. pain symmetric and isolated to the proximal lower extremities concerning for polymylagia rheumatica. his emg was reassuring. the differential also includes rheumatoid arhtirits vs. hypothyroidism vs. spondyloarthropathy vs. fibromyalgia vs. myopathy. pt was continued on prednisone 15mg daily which was converted to hydrocortisone when the pt was npo. he received dilaudid for pain but when his mental status improved, he was transitioned to oxycodone. he did not have any signs of vascular compromise. he should follow up with his pcp for further management. . # hypertension - history of hypertension that has been managed on acei previously, but now only beta-blockers (atenolol daily). see above, pt was standing iv hydralazine and metoprolol but was later restarted on an acei. hydralazine was not continued. . #duodenal hematoma?-there was concern raised on ct imaging. hct remained stable. other differential included edema related to acute pancreatitis. surgery and ercp teams monitored the patient. . #acute on chronic constipation with ileus - this has been an on-going issue since his narcotic use for his lower extremity pain. ct without evidence of bowel obstruction and his last bowel movement was formed, hard and non-bloody the morning prior to admission. aggressive bowel regimen attempted, but pt was found to have an ileus. ngt was placed and the patient remained npo especially as he was also delirious. when his mental status improved, ngt was d/ced and he was restarted on a po bowel regimen. he later developed diarrhea but kub showed increased gaseous distention suggestive of an ileus. . # diarrhea - later in his hospitalization, the pt developed diarrhea. cdiff test was negative. diarrhea improved. . #hyponatremia/hypernatremia - this was managed with ivf intermittently during his hospitalization. . #osa-does not tolerate cpap. outpt f/u. . #thrombocytopenia-could be due to acute illness, vs. medication effect. improved. transitional issues 1. follow a low-fat diet, avoiding dairy and coffee. 2. antihypertensives changed to metoprolol 25 mg and lisinopril 20 mg daily. 3. check k and cr next week (on here, k was 3.6 and cr 0.7). 4. follow-up with surgery for elective cholecystectomy 5. other notable labs on last check: hct 39.4 (borderline low), alt 101, ast

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 70 year old man who is admitted to the podiatry service in , for a necrotic eschar times two on his lateral right mid-foot. he was seen and evaluated by vascular surgery at that time and was felt to be a poor candidate for re-vascularization. the ulcers were managed conservatively with antibiotics. he presented to the emergency room on with fever. he was initially admitted to the vascular surgery service. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease. 2. diabetes mellitus, type 2. 3. peripheral vascular disease. 4. hypercholesterolemia. past surgical history: 1. bilateral hallux amputations. medications: at time of admission include: 1. glucophage 1000 mg twice a day. 2. glyburide 10 mg q. a.m., 5 mg q. p.m. 3. atenolol 50 mg q. day. 4. lisinopril 2.5 mg q. day. 5. ambien 5 mg p.r.n. allergies: he is allergic to penicillin which causes a rash and codeine which causes confusion. physical examination: at time of admission, vital signs with temperature 103.0 f.; blood pressure 100/56; heart rate 128; respiratory rate 16; o2 saturation 79% on room air. general, in no acute distress. chest: heart sounds regular rate and rhythm, s1, s2. chest clear to auscultation bilaterally anterior only. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended. extremities: femoral pulses bilaterally. popliteal pulses bilaterally. dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial doppler-able pulses bilaterally, posterior tibial greater than the dorsalis pedis. right lateral foot with open ulcer distal to the tarsus with more proximal abscess which drained purulent material. laboratory: at time of admission, white count 22.9, hematocrit 34.8, sodium 132, potassium 4.3, chloride 95, co2 22, bun 23, creatinine 1.2, glucose 99. cultures from showed staphylococcus aureus, coagulase positive, oxicillin resistant. chest x-ray showed no pleural effusions, no infiltrates, no congestive heart failure and no pneumonia. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the vascular service. his foot ulcer was incised and debrided. he was started on vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, and flagyl with three times a day wet-to-dry dressing changes. on the day after admission, the patient reported feeling nauseous. given his past admission and catheterization revealing three-vessel disease, cardiac enzymes were sent and it showed a positive troponin and therefore the cardiology service was consulted. the patient underwent an angiogram of his lower extremity which showed infra-popliteal three-vessel occlusions. cardiology was again consulted to review his catheterization which was done in . please see catheterization report for full details. in summary, the catheterization showed he had a co-dominant system with obstructive three-vessel disease. the left anterior descending had a 70% stenosis; the left circumflex had a 50 to 60% stenosis. the right coronary artery had a focal 70% stenosis. there was also a nominus artery noted which originated at the proximal right coronary artery and travelled in a superior access. the artery was anastomosed to the pulmonary artery. he had elevated right and left sided filling pressures with a wedge of 18. calculated cardiac output was 6.1. there was no pressure gradient at the aortic valve. following the cardiology service consultation, vascular surgery consulted cardiothoracic surgery to see if the patient could undergo coronary re-vascularization prior to his lower extremity re-vascularization. the patient was seen by cardiothoracic surgery and consented to undergo a coronary artery bypass grafting. on , he was brought to the operating room at which time he had a coronary artery bypass graft times three; please see the or report for full details. in summary, he had a coronary artery bypass graft times three with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending and svg to the pda and an svg to the obtuse marginal. he tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. the patient did well in the immediate postoperative period. the day of the surgery he was kept sedated and intubated. over the course of the night on the morning of postoperative day one, his sedation was discontinued. over the course of that morning he was weaned from his ventilator and ultimately extubated. in addition, his cardioactive intravenous medications were weaned off. his swan-ganz catheter was removed and his chest tubes were also removed. late in the afternoon of postoperative day one, the patient experienced atrial fibrillation with a ventricular response of about 120. he was started on amiodarone and lopressor at that time, after which he converted to normal sinus rhythm. postoperative day two, the patient remained hemodynamically stable. at that time, a decision was made to transfer him to the floor for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. over the next several days, the patient did well. he remained hemodynamically stable. his activity level was slowly increased with the assistance of the nursing staff and physical therapy. he continued to be followed by the vascular service as well as the clinic for his diabetes mellitus. on postoperative day four, a picc line was placed in his left antecubital space and plans were made to transfer the patient to rehabilitation center for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. on postoperative day nine, the patient was deemed stable and ready for transfer to a rehabilitation center. at that time, his physical examination is as follows: vital signs, temperature 98.0 f.; heart rate 79 and sinus rhythm; blood pressure 120/65; respiratory rate 18; o2 saturation 98% on two liters nasal prongs. weight preoperatively was 140 kilograms; at discharge it is 149 kilograms. laboratory data, white count 10.7, hematocrit 24, platelets 404. sodium 135, potassium 5.0, chloride 99, co2 27, bun 23, creatinine 1.1, glucose 106. physical examination: neurologic: alert and oriented, moves all extremities, conversant. respiratory: clear to auscultation bilaterally;

hypoxia and afib with rvr. 1. hypoxia: on admission patient had a new oxygen requirement, 3l nasal cannula, while at baseline she was on room air. throughout her admission, patient denied shortness of breath but did complain of fatigue. given her rapid heart rate, the patient underwent a cta to rule out pe. cta showed bilateral pleural effusions with lll collapse, but no pe. given cta findings her initial presentation was thought to be secondary to heart failure, possibly exacerbated by a fib w/ rvr and she was diuresed with po lasix. cta did show extensive mediastinal lymphadenopathy and so infectious vs. malignant etiologies were considered. . over the course of her hospitalization, she required two admissions to the micu. on she decompensated with hypoxia and a-fib with rvr with a question of aspiration event. her a-fib was managed by increasing metoprolol dose and digoxin loading/maintenance with good hr (70s-80s) and bp control (110-120s). given the rise in wbc, she was started and completed an 8 day course for hcap with vanc and zosyn. she was diuresed in the with iv lasix. a tee was done that showed diastolic dysfunction and bnp was elevated to 10k. ce were trended but were flat. she was transferred to the floor for further management. . on the floor patient improved with diuresis and antibiotic course. her leukocytosis also downtrended. speech and swallow consulted who did not see si/sx of aspiration. however, there remained concern that patient was aspirating and she was placed on aspiration precautions. she had another episode of hypoxia with afib and rvr requiring nrb; abg on nrb showed 7.52/36/65/30 with lactate 4.8. she was transferred to the micu a second time. a repeat chest ct was concerning for right middle lobe pneumonia, patient weaned off to nasal cannula and lactate trended down. patient was diuresed and transferred back to the floor. on , patient spiked a fever, and was started on iv meropenem and vanc for an 8 day course of aspiration pneumonia, and pan-cultured. she improved with antibiotics and defervesced. urine and blood culture showed no growth on discharge. . patient was managed with chest pt and aggressive pulmonary toilet. pulmonology was consulted, who agreed with management of antibiotics, diuresis, and bp/rate control. given her anatomy thoracentesis thought to be unlikely to result in re-expansion of her left lung. goals of care were discussed further with patient. patient decided that further micu transfers were not align with her goals of care and decided to be dni. patient was discharged to nursing facility with plans to transition to hospice care. ultimately decision was made with family and patient for do not hospitalize as this would not be consistent with patient's goals of care. - continue iv vanc and meropenem until to complete 8 day course - continue nasal cannula, wean as tolerated - patient has decided to be: dnr/dni/dnh . 2. afib with rvr: this may have been precipitated by lung etiology given hypoxia. blood pressure was initially stable though dipped into the low 100s systolic. she was on metoprolol on admission which was increased to 75mg po tid. patient had several episodes of rvr to 160s which were managed with gentle bolus, with minimal response, then iv metoprolol and iv dilt. she was ruled out for an mi, and infectious work up was revealing for pneumonia. her coumadin was initially held given her history of falls. this was restarted during her hospitalization. however, as patient remained hypoxic and weak, further discussions regarding risk/benefit of coumadin were had with patient and son. ultimately, the immediate risks of bleed were thought to outweigh the long-run benefits. coumadin was stopped on discharge. - hold metoprolol or diltiazam if sbp<100, hr<60 . 3. acute heart failure: ct scans notable for bilateral pleural effusions. a tte was done that showed ef 55%, rv moderately dilated with mild global free wall hypokinesis. ce were negative. she was maintained with lasix, bb, ccb, and digoxin. she was transitioned from iv lasix to 40mg po lasix, to keep net even to 500cc net negative. - suspect that lasix dose will need to be reduced. when patient stops iv antibiotics please determine new lasix dose by po intake and fluid status. consider reducing dose back to home dose of 10mg daily. . 4. extensive mediastinal lymphadenopathy: this was seen on cta and the differential thought to include infection vs. malignancy. on repeat imaging, there was small improvement in lymphadenopathy after diuresis and antibiotic treatment. pulmonology consulted and given goals of care (as stated above), further invasive work up was not in line with patient's wishes. as stated above she spiked a temp and was pan-cultured and started on vanc/ x8days for aspiration pna. . 5. leukocytosis: seen by hematologist dr. at , with leukocytosis in the past in 13s-17s. throughout her admission, wbc ranged from 9 to 30 w/ primarily pmn diff (90s). she was treated for pneumonia infection with two course of antibiotics which improved her leukocytosis. . 6. thrombocytosis: it was confirmed w/ her outpatient hematologist that patient has a known jack2 mutation by pcr. she was continued on hydroxyurea 3 days per week. medications on admission: 1. omeprazole 40 mg daily 2. aspirin 81 mg daily 3. mirtazapine 45 mg qhs 4.

the floor when normotensive with a hospital course complicated by esbl uti and ileus which resolved after decreasing home pain regimen. #hypotension: her hyponatremia was thought to be secondary to worsening liver disease, very likely exacerbated by continued etoh intake as seen through patient history, persistent macrocytic anemia, and isolated ast elevation. she only required levophed for a very short time in the ed. patient is normally quite hypotensive at home with sbp's of 80-90's. a diagnostic paracentesis was performed and was negative for sbp. blood cultures were negative. patient developed uti after foley placed and may have contributed to her hypotension. initially lasix and spironolactone were held, however both were restarted at lower doses. she is currently on lasix 40 mg daily and spironolactone 50 mg daily. if blood pressure is stable, would incrase lasix to home dose of 60 mg daily on friday, . if blood pressure continues to be stable after increasing lasix, would titrate up spironolactone to home dose of 200 mg daily. #hyponatremia: secondary to volume overload and chronic liver disease, siadh. given her hypotension, her furosemide and spironolactone were intially held. on discharge, her furosemide was restarted at 20 mg po daily and her spironolactone was restarted at 50 mg daily. these should be uptitrated to home doses, if tolerated, while at rehab. #ileus: patient developed an ileus on with nausea, vomiting, and dilated loops of bowel on kub. repeat ct was done and did not show any sign of obstruction. the ileus was thought to possibly be caused by her pain medications and morphine sr was decreased from 60 mg po q12 to 30 mg po q12. an ng tube was placed for decompression and she was keep npo with ivf and albumin. her ileus resolved 2 days later and she was advanced to clears and then a regular diet without issue. #uti: patient developed foley catheter associated uti. her ucx on grew esbl e. coli which was intially treated with nitrofurantoin but was then discovered it was resistant and she was switched to tobramycin iv as she was unable to take po abx while npo for ileus. repeat urine on showed vre, however per id was thought to be colonized rather than infection. she will continue tobramycin iv until and then switch to tetracycline po 500 mg qid starting until . #cirrhosis: patient continued to drink etoh at home as she recounted in her history and also shown in her abnormal labs: elevated ast plus macrocytic anemia. lfts improved over her length of stay. she had a paracentesis with a saag suggestive of portal hypertension but not sbp. her diurectics were initially held given her hypotension. her lasix was then restarted at a decreased dose of 20 mg po daily and spironolactone restarted at 50 mg po daily. her lactulose was initially given at 45 ml tid but was then decreased to 30 mg po tid as her encephalopathy improved. she was also started on rifaximin for encephalopathy. the liver team also recommended maintaining a calories per day diet. she will follow up in liver clinic. #acute kidney injury: creatinine increased to 1.2 on admission from baseline of 0.9-1.0, likely secondary to

to the hospital with low blood pressure and low sodium. since your blood pressure was so low, you were managed in the intensive care units. you were given in fluids and medications to raise your blood pressure. your blood pressure stabilized and you were transferred to the medicine floor. you also had very low sodium. this was treated by restricting the amount of fluid you can drink to 1.2 l. this caused an increase in your sodium. we also found that you had a urinary tract infection and you were treated with antibiotics. you will need to continue to take antibiotics at home. you also developed a temporary blockage of your intestines. this condition is also called having an ileus. -gastric tube was placed to remove gastric fluid. the blockage resolved on its own and the tube was removed. the

stat head ct showed hemorrhagic transformation of her ischemic strokes. the ich and heparin was discussed with her daughter who is the medical decision maker. the daughter decided to continue with the heparin despite the risk of worsening ich. she was transferred to the step-down for closer monitoring. her blood pressure was controlled with iv prn bb initally; ultimately it was controlled with oral lisinopril and metoprolol. she was maintained euglycemic and normothermic. she was continued on heparin with goal ptt 40-60 and started on coumadin. after several days of low inrs, her inr was found to be 10.6 on ; she was given 5 mg of vitamin k subcutaneously and 5 mg orally, and 2 units of ffp. she was then resumed on the heparin drip while her inr was again sub-therapeutic; she was restarted on a lower dose of warfarin. her goal inr is . her exam improved somewhat so that she is fully awake and alert and moving her left side well; she is hemiparetic on the right but does have some movement in the r le. 2. hypercholesterolemia. ldl was found to be 94; as her goal will be < 70, she was started on lipitor 10. 3. dens fracture. she was found to have a dens fracture on ct due to her initial fall. she was evaluated by the spine service who recommended to keep the c-collar for 3 months (through ). 4. atrial fibrillation. she was rate controlled with metoprolol and anti-coagulated as above. 5. id. she had mild temperature bumps for which she was pan-cultured. she was empirically started on vanco and zosyn and her leukocytosis improved. no infectious source was found, and she remained afebrile after the completion of these antibiotics. 6. hyponatremia. this was thought to be due to a combination of cerebral salt wasting and siadh. the renal service was consulted. after fluid restriction failed to improve the sodium, they recommended using 3% saline. this improved her na, and once her peg was in place, her sodium was maintained with salt tabs. 7. subclinical hypothyroidism. she was found to have elevated tsh with a normal free t4 (1.2) and low t3 (73). this was not clinically significant at this point, but should be followed as an outpatient in the future. 8. nutrition. she was evaluated by speech and swallow on several occasions but failed her feeding trial. a peg was therefore placed for further feeding. 9. airway edema. after being electively intubated for the peg placement, she was found to have significant epiglottal edema preventing extubation. she was given 3 days of prednisone, but bronchoscopic evaluation after these 3 days revealed persistent edema. in consultation with her daughter, it was decided that she should receive a tracheotomy. 10. code: she is dnr; intubated electively as above. 11. dispo: she was discharged to a rehab facility. medications on admission: lisinopril atenolol discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for pain, fever: per peg. 2. bisacodyl 10 mg suppository sig: one (1) suppository rectal daily (daily) as needed. 3. famotidine 20 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q24h (every 24 hours): per peg. 4. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day): per peg. 5. sodium chloride 1 g tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day): per peg. 6. miconazole nitrate 2 % powder sig: one (1) appl topical prn (as needed): per peg. 7. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day) as needed: per peg. 8. atorvastatin 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily): per peg. 9. warfarin 1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily): per peg. 10. lisinopril 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily): per peg. 11. neutra-phos mg packet sig: two (2) packets po once a day for 1 doses: please give once per peg at 8 pm . discharge disposition: extended care facility: for the aged - macu discharge diagnosis: 1. stroke 2. intracranial hemorrhage 3. atrial fibrillation 4. pneumonia 5. hyponatremia discharge condition: stable. on neurological examination, the patient is awake and alert, but aphasic, without speech. she has findings consistent with a right homonymous hemianopsia. right pupil is surgical and the left reactive. her left arm and leg are consistently anti-gravity (3+). however, her right arm and leg are generally weaker and have often fluctuated during the hospital course, ranging between a 1+ and a 3+. on day of discharge her right side was +. discharge instructions: please take your medications as prescribed and follow up with your appointments as scheduled. if you have new, worsening, or concerning symptoms, please call your phyician or return to the nearest emergency room. the patient is to contune to wear her cervical collar for 3 months until her follow up appointment with the orthopedic clinic at that time. please follow up the inr daily, as the paient is on coumadin with a history of atrial fibrillation. her goal inr is . given her history of hyponatremia, please check a chemistry (including soudium) and a cbc at least weekly. please aim for a systolic blood pressure in the 120's to 130's if possible. lisinopril was added just prior to discharge. followup instructions: 1. provider: , .d. phone: date/time: 3:30 2. provider: xray (scc 2) phone: date/time: 10:40 provider: . phone: date/time: 11:00 md, procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more insertion of endotracheal tube fiber-optic bronchoscopy enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances temporary tracheostomy other gastrostomy diagnoses: pure hypercholesterolemia urinary tract infection, site not specified unspecified essential hypertension unspecified acquired hypothyroidism atrial fibrillation unspecified fall intracerebral hemorrhage acute respiratory failure closed fracture of second cervical vertebra family history of ischemic heart disease other disorders of neurohypophysis aphasia hemiplegia, unspecified, affecting unspecified side hip joint replacement cervical spondylosis without myelopathy edema of larynx Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

an mr angiogram of the circle of was also performed with three-dimensional time-of-flight weighted imaging. findings: there is no mass effect, hydrocephalus or shift of the normally midline structures. the ventricles, cisterns and sulci are all similarly prominent, consistent with atrophic change. there are numerous bilateral cerebral foci of white matter hyperintensity on t2-weighted imaging, consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. there are no areas of restricted diffusion, however, to suggest recent infarction. there are two focal regions of susceptibility artifact outlining the sulci along the left temporal convexity, most likely due to siderosis associated with prior subarachnoid hemorrhage. there is no indication of recent intracranial hemorrhage, however. mr angiogram of the circle of : there are no areas of stenosis or aneurysmal dilatation. the internal carotid and basilar arteries, and their branches, show appropriate anterograde flow. impression: 1. similar atrophic changes. 2. extensive foci of hyperintensity on t2-weighted imaging, most suggestive of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. 3. no evidence of recent infarction. 4.

sustained a right shoulder fracture as well as a frature of c1 c2 for whcih he was placed in a cervical collar. he had an mri of the brain to r/o cva. this study was negative for cva. pt sustained right shoulder fracture for which he was seen by ortho - their plan was to maintain this gentleman in a sling to right arm for 2 weeks. he is to follow up in the ortho clinic 4 weeks after d/c with dr. . he is cleared by ortho for pendulum exercises after 2 weeks. from a neurosurgical standpoint this pts cervical spine fracture treatments were discussed with the family. given options of cervical collar/ halo placement or surgical intervention - the family was requesting that he be stabilized surgically due to the fact that he is demented and non compliant. they feel the collar/halo would not be tolerated by the patient and this would leave him at risk for further injury. he was scheduled for surgery originally as an add on for thursday however the or is not able to accomidate himnm on that date - he was then rescheduled for friday . pt has recieved hd during this hospital stay for crf. today on the pt had hd, and then was to have a ngt placed under fluro after multiple attempts to place and ngt were unsuccessful. this was not done as pt was dusky with an elevated hr on return form hd. an ekg was obtained and the pt was transferred to the stepdown unit on 5. hd was contact and the rn states there were no difficulties during his session. ce's x 3 were ordered as well as electrolytes. a medicine consult was called and the pt was formally evaluated. he was given metoprolol and diltiazem iv with his hr response coming down to the 90's. the pts color improved - it was difficult to assess whether or not he had active chest pain or sob as he is unreliable. his lung fields were clear at the time of event. dr. , , from nephrology came to see the pt as he just finished dialysis. he left no new orders. the medicine team evaluated patient and initially were going to transfer the patient to general medicine service. however, during evaluation, patient returned with rapid hr to 130's, had coffee ground emesis, became diaphoretic and tachypnic and therefore patient was admitted to micu give his critical appearance. on presentation to micu, patient was noted to remain in afib with hr in 130's, temp noted to be 102.8. bp stable at 140/38. had some difficulty placing o2 sat moniter, but upon receiving a good pleth, noted to have o2 sat of 75-90% on nrb. at this time, given patient's code status of dnr/dni, discussions ensued with pt's wife/hcp. she was notified of patient's poor condition, given overall picture of likely gi bleed, need of central line access, c1-2 and shoulder fractures, esrd on hd, and now ?aspiration with poor respiratory status, which would require intubation for rescusitation. wife was very clear that patient's wishes were to die - he had in fact been wanting to discontinue his dialysis. he was also very clear about the fact that he did not want any sort of mechanical ventilation or resuscitation. it was therefore decided by the patient's wife to refrain from further treatment, including further work up of his fever, line placement, intubation, and to make him comfort measures only. therefore all lab draws and medications were discontinued and patient was placed on morphine drip for comfort. wife is contacting the remainder of his family to come to the hospital. patient died morning after micu admission. family was notified. medications on admission: prilosec 20 mg qam, renegel 800 mg tid, phoslo 667 mg tid, renal soft gel

of health at her evening meal on . she had a repeat of these periods at . per report, there was no generalized tonic-clonic component but possibly some tonic head turning and upper extremity shaking. there, she was also noted to be hypotensive with systolic bp in the 80s and as low as 50/p and hypothermic to 95. she was intubated for airway protection in the setting of possible status and also for hypotension. she had a negative head ct as well as a ct thorax which was unremarkable. she was given phosphenytoin, vancomycin 1g, possibly levo, ativan, cerebryx and sent to because there was no neurologist there. . she has had a big decline over the past year cognitively. she suffered a fall last year and has since been in a nursing facility. she has had dementia diagnosed. she also has had

septic shock with low uop and seizures possibly related to her sepsis. pulmonary source less likely with negative cxr. cns source had to be considered since she had seizures. a femoral line was placed because of collaps of her ij during insertion, suggesting still significant volume depletion. lactate wnl and cr wnl. intubation did not appear to be for respiratory failure, but for airway protection and sepsis. she was weaned off pressors after agressive ivf resuscitation. she was initially started on broad spectrum abx to cover meningitis, urinary sources, and heel ulcers as these were thought most likely causes of her septic shock. eventually urine culture grew out ecoli sensitive to ceftriaxone (resistant to cipro), lp was negatve, and blood cultures were no growth so patient's antibiotics were weaned to just ceftriaxone for a planned 14-day course. her femoral line was replaced with a midline prior to discharge to the floor. on transfer to the floor, she was changed to oral antibiotics (cefpodoxime) with plan to take 8 days as outpatient to complete 14 day course. on discharge, she was afebrile and hemodynamically stable. midline iv was pulled prior to discharge. #

patient standing up, nodding her head up and to the right, rhythmically, with eye deviation to the right, some blinking (?rhythmic), not talking. he changed her clothes and helped her into the car, then drove her to the hospital. along the way, he asked her if she could squeeze his hand, and she periodically gave weak squeezes on command. when she arrived at (5am) she was not following commands, and rhythmic eye-blinking was noted, with r eye deviation; she received 6mg total ativan, with some effect (and was following commands again), and given 1gm pht load. past medical history: renal cell

no evidence of pneumonia or chf. redemonstration of numerous pulmonary lesions consistent with the patient's known metastatic renal cell carcinoma. . head ct : there is a 14 mm ovoid hyperdense focus in the left frontal lobe, consistent with hemorrhage at the site of the patient's known metastatic lesion. this focus appears slightly larger than on prior examination. there is also a significant increase in hypodensity in the surrounding left frontal lobe consistent with edema. this edema is compressing the frontal of the left lateral ventricle. there is slight shift of normally midline structures to the right, as shown by subfalcine herniation. no new areas of hemorrhage are identified. there is no hydrocephalus. the osseous and soft tissue structures are unremarkable. . mri head : the metastasis in the superior left frontal lobe is again demonstrated. it appears to have increased in size compared to . for example, on the sagittal images, it has increased from approximately 12 mm to 16 mm in oblique superior/inferior dimension. there is more anterior extension of edema as well. . there is now a second punctate lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere with surrounding edema, as discussed by the radiology residents with dr. on . . the other small areas of flair hyperintensity present on the current study were present previously and no underlying enhancing lesions are seen, most consistent with small vessel disease. there is new mass effect on the left frontal from the left frontal metastasis and edema. the cerebellar edema does not affect the fourth ventricle. as seen previously, there is a degree of ventriculomegaly. the craniovertebral junction is normal. . impression: 1. there is a second punctate enhancing lesion in the left cerebellum with surrounding edema, new since10/25 and most consistent with a second metastasis. 2. a left frontal lesion appears to have enlarged from approximately 12 to approximately 16 mm since and there is slightly more surrounding edema with new mass effect on the left frontal . . eeg : abnormality #1: sharp and slow wave complexes over the left anterior quadrant occurred during wakefulness with a frequency of 0.5-1 hz. during these discharges, the patient was able to follow simple commands, but was unable to state the date appropriately. background: a 9.5 hz posterior predominant rhythm was recorded in the waking state, which attenuated with eye opening. the normal anterior to posterior voltage gradient was observed. hyperventilation: contraindicated. intermittent photic stimulation: portable study precluded photic testing. sleep: the patient remained awake throughout the recording. no state i or ii sleep was recorded. cardiac monitor: a generally regular rhythm was recorded, with an average rate of 90 beats per minute. impression: this is an abnormal eeg in the waking state due to the periodic sharp and slow wave complexes in the left anterior quadrant occuring at a frequency of 0.5-1 hz. no seizures were recorded. brief hospital course: impression: 58yo woman with rcc with metastases to the brain, who presented with a prolonged seizure likely to be focal motor partial status. the seizure focus was felt to be her l frontal lobe lesion, which was consistent with her symptoms and eeg findings. she was given 6mg ativan and 1gm dilantin in the ed with resolution of her symptoms. she was started on decadron in the ed and continued on this throughout her hospital stay at 4 mg po q6. she was initially admitted to the icu for close monitoring. an eeg showed l frontal spikes occuring approximately every 5 seconds. she slowly improved over the course of the next several days, with persistent non-fluent aphasia with preserved repetition. she was continued on dilantin with keppra added for more long term seizure prophylaxis (goal to wean pt of dilantin and titrate up keppra on an outpatient basis). as her exam improved she was transferred to the floor. . she had an mri by cyberknife protocol on , which showed a new cerebellar lesion in addition to her frontal lesion. her radiation oncology, neurooncology, and neurosurgical teams were notified of this. they decided that, due to potential impact of the radiation on the edema surrounding the frontal lesion, it would be advisable to proceed surgically with the anterior frontal lesion, scheduled to happen in the week following discharge by dr. . on , the patient was seen at the radiation planning center for cyberknife planning regarding the cerebellar lesion and the lesion was radiated on . pt. was monitored overnight with no clinical evidence of increased edema or mass effect radiation. . on discharge her exam was significant for a mild non-fluent aphasia as above and mild r sided umn pattern weakness and r nlf flattening. she will be contact in the week following discharge re: an appointment to come back into the hospital for resection of her met, and dr. will follow up with her at that time. medications on

hematoma: patient was on plavix at the time of admission for prior embolic cva. he was admitted to the trauma service after a mechanical fall slipping into the ice and hitting his head, passing out immediately. patient had a head ct scan that showed a right-sided subdural hemorrhage with 3 mm of subfalcine herniation. plavix was stopped and patient was monitored with serial ct scans, initially every 5 hours. subdural hematoma was stable and neurologic exam was unchanged. neurosurgery signed off and transfered patient to medicine. the only complication observed so far has been hyponatremia due to associated siadh (and thiazide). patient's neurologic status kept improving and patient was discharged to rehab. he will need a ct scan in 2 weeks and follow up with neurosurgery. . # hyponatremia: patient had hyponatremia with nadir of 122 on with euvolemia, serum osmolarity was not checked originaly, but sodium was measured using a direct assay. urine osmolarity was 549 and urine sodium of 97. during this time patient was on hctz for blood pressure control and was stopped. siadh was diagnosed, patient was fluid restricted and given normotonic fluids at 30 cc/hr with salt tablets. upon transfer to medicine on fluids were stopped and fluid restriction was continued. sodium trended up slowly and was 132 upon discharge. . #. fever: patient developed fever late in the course if his hospitalization with wrosening of his baseline cough. his blood and urine cultures were negative and his cxr was unchanged with small l pleural effusion and bibasilary mild consolidations (old) compatible with atelectases or pna. pt was started on azithromycin 500 mg iv (3 doses) and ceftriaxone and was switched to cefpodoxime 36 hours prior to discharge. he was afebrile and improving clinically and wbc trending down 19from to 6.0 upon discharge. please continue cefpodoxime and check temperature. . # somnolence: neurology service was consulted by the neurosurgical service for worsening somnolence, thought to be of toxic metabolic etiology. sodium was 122, tox screen and negative work up were negative. ct scan showed sdh. pt had normal lfts, low-grade temp up to 100.8 and negative cxr. hctz was stopped, bp was controlled with captopril, salt tablets were given and pt was fluid restricted and improved. now at baseline per family. . # hypoxia: ra sat at rest 92%, but desated at night (ra). patient was put in bipap and later in his home-settings cpap and symptoms resolved. he had bibasilar rales and atelectases on cxr. improved with incentive spirometry as well. no evidence of pna, shunt or pe since pt improved. . # hyperglycemia: mild but no h/o dm. a1c was 6.3%. pt was maintained on iss while in the hospital. will need pcp follow up and possibly

slipping in the ice and hitting your head. you had a ct scan looking for bleeding of fracture, where we found a subdural hematoma (bleeding between your bones and your brain). you were folllowed by the neurosurgery team, that after seeing how you improved and that your bleeding was stable on serial imaging studies you did not require further therapy at this time point. you had delirium (confusion), that was thought to be multifactorial in the setting of being in the icu, having low sodium and possibly an infection. you required iv medications to control your blood pressure. you were transfered to medicine, where we managed your sodium, obtained a negative work up for infection and worked with physical therapy. later, you developed a fever and had an unchanged chest x-ray, negative blood and urine cultures, but since your cough was worse you were started in two antibiotics for a possible pneumonia. you are being discharged and will need follow up with your pcp and neurosurgery as below. . general instructions ?????? take your pain medicine as prescribed. ?????? exercise should be limited to walking; no lifting, straining, or excessive bending. ?????? increase your intake of fluids and fiber, as narcotic pain medicine can cause constipation. we generally recommend taking an over the counter stool softener, such as docusate (colace) while taking narcotic

lower extremity edema. she reported considerable problems with lower extremity edema over the weeks preceding admission with an approximately 12-lb weight gain and pillow orthopnea. she further reported dyspnea on exertion but not at rest. she has also had two admissions within the last six weeks for af with rvr. she had been doing reasonably well despite persistent lower extremity edema until the day prior to admision when she tripped and was unable to get herself off the floor for a few hours due to weakness. she denies having any shortness of breath, chest pain, dyspnea on exertion or palpitations in association with this. she denies striking her head. her grandson eventually was able to help her to her feet and she seemed well without confusion so no additional assistance was pursued at that time. she did report three days of persistent cough, intermittently productive of whitish sputum but denied any fevers. the morning after her fall (the morning of admission), her

atrial fibrillation. intermittent atrial pacer activity also appears to be present. clinical correlation is suggested. since the previous tracing of uniform atrial pacing has been replaced by rhythm as outlined. 2. : atrial paced rhythm. left ventricular hypertrophy. diffuse st-t wave abnormalities are non-specific but cannot exclude myocardial ischemia. clinical correlation is suggested. since the previous tracing of atrial pacing is now present throughout and ventricular pacing is not seen. . tib/fib xray (): no acute fracture or dislocation in either tibia or fibula. . right shoulder xray (): no acute fracture or dislocation. findings suggestive of underlying rotator cuff disease. . relevant cxr: 1. : mild congestive heart failure with small bilateral pleural effusions. opacities within the lung bases may represent atelectasis but infection or aspiration cannot be excluded. 2. : bilateral pleural effusions blunt the pleural sinuses and obliterate the diaphragmatic contours. they also conceal major portions of the cardiac silhouette which undoubtedly represents marked cardiac enlargement. the pulmonary vasculature is congested with perivascular haze and hazy peripheral densities in the mid lung field which have now increased in comparison with the last study and suggest development of pulmonary edema. no pneumothorax has developed. there is no evidence of central airway occlusion and occlusion atelectasis related to mucus airway plugging. comparison is made with multiple chest examinations obtained during the last week and they disclose findings consistent with chf, continues progression of pulmonary congestion. 3. : there is no pulmonary edema or appreciable pulmonary vascular engorgement. bilateral pleural effusions, moderate-to-large on the right and moderate on the left are stable, obscuring cardiac silhouette, which is probably enlarged but not changed in the interim. right pic line can be traced to the upper right atrium. no pneumothorax. . tte (): suboptimal image quality. the left atrium is moderately dilated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). there is no ventricular septal defect. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the

size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). there is no aortic valve stenosis. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. impression: mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. mild aortic and mitral regurgitation. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , severity of tricuspid regurgitation and degree of pulmonary hypertension have both decreased. . discharge labs: creatinine 1.9 potassium 4.7 sodium 140 brief hospital course: y/o female with cad, atrial fibrillation c/b tachy-brady syndrome s/p ppm placement, ckd, asthma and heart failure with preserved ef, who presented with cough, lower extremity edema and hypotension. patient was initially treated with norepinephrine for hypotension and diuresed on a lasix drip, with a loss of approximately 12 pounds. chest radiography revealed a possible infiltrate and the patient received 8 days of antibiotics for a health-care associated pneumonia (vancomycin plus zosyn, which was switched to cefepime, and, finally, levofloxacin to complete the course). no definitive cause of her initial hypotension was identified, though interrogation of pacemaker early in her hospitalization revealed several prolonged episodes of atrial tachycardia (one lasting approximately 50 hours). such episodes may have lead to a loss of atrial kick with subsequent drop in cardiac output. though she was treated for an infection, the icu team did not feel that septic physiology was to blame for her presentation. serum am cortisol of 26.4 argued against adrenal insufficiency. tsh was elevated but did not indicate significant hypothyroidism (see discussion below). the patient was subsequently transfered to the inpatient cardiology service to continue care for her hypotension and acute on chronic kidney disease. diuresis had been held for 48 hours prior to transfer. diuresis was intermittently continued on the cardiology service with little improvement in her peripheral edema. patient developed a persistent metabolic alkalosis and her serum creatinine remained elevated at approximately 2, up from a baseline of 1.5, which was concerning for overdiuresis. urine lytes were not helpful in assessing for intravascular volume depletion (feurea ~ 43%, una 33). a tte did not reveal evidence of worsening cardiac function or valvular disease but did reveal a near-normalization of pulmonary artery pressures as well as loss of a tr gradient, which fit with a clinical picture of overdiuresis. a diuretic regimen of torsemide 20 mg po daily was eventually restarted and patient was discharged on this regimen. other issues by problem: 1. atrial fibrillation c/b tachy-brady syndrome: patient had dual-chamber (ra/rv) pacemaker placed on for tachy-brady syndrome. pacemaker interrogation on admission revealed frequent and prolonged episodes of atrial fibrillation. patient was continued on her dabigatran throughout admission. her amiodarone was dose reduced from 200 mg po tid to 200 mg po daily as review of records indicated that she may have received a load as high as 25 grams. she will need to take 200 mg amiodarone daily for 10 days, then dose reduce to 100 mg daily for maintenance. metoprolol required dose reduction due to hypotension and at discharge was prescribed as metoprolol succinate (toprol xl) 25 mg po daily. patient was continued on dabigatran at the time of discharge. 2. acute on chronic kidney disease: baseline creatinine in recent months was ~ 1.5. her serum creatinine peaked at approximately 2. urine lytes did not help in differentiating the etiology (feurea ~ 43%, una 33) but other data suggested overdiuresis. on discharge her cr stabilzed in the range of 1.8-1.9 after several days of regular diet with oral fluids and torsemide 20 mg po daily to maintain treatment of lower extremity edema. 3. left lower extremity erythema: patient was treated for cellulitis during a recent admission in . at that time a lle us was without evidence of dvt to explain the asymmetry between the lle and rle. she was evaluated for fracture in the ed but imaging was negative. her erythema gradually improved throughout the hospitalization and at the time of discharge looked like the chronic changes of stasis dermatitis. 4. leukocytosis: patient presented with wbc count of 13.4 with neutrophil predominance though no bands or atypicals. wbcs intermittently as high as 19.2. blood cultures negative on admission. ua negative on admission (no urine culture performed). cough and cxr suggestive of consoliation concerning for hcap, for which she received 8 days of appropriate antibiotics. c. difficile toxin negative by eia once. patient remained afebrile following transfer to the cardiology service. her leukocytosis resolved prior to discharge. ultimately, it was likely due to possible infection or stress response. 5. metabolic alkalosis: patient developed elevated serum bicarbonate (peak of 45) in setting of diuresis. she received three days of acetazolamide while diuresis was pursued. her serum bicarbonate at discharge was normalized. this was likely due to volume contraction/overdiuresis. 6. abnormal thyroid function tests: baseline tsh 1.5 prior to initiation of amiodarone. tsh on is 6.9. elevated tsh may reflect a consequence of significant iodine load from amiodarone though it is difficult to interpret in the setting of an acute illness. t4 is within normal limits and t3 is reduced which is more consistent with a sick euthyroid state in the setting of an icu stay. no treatment was initiated in the acute setting, especially as tsh < 10, but tfts should be closely monitored following discharge. 7. asthma: patient initially managed with levalbuterol however was transitioned to salmeterol given concern for worsening tachycardia and compromising hemodynamics. 8. normocytic anemia: hematocrit 34 on admission and remained stable in the low 30s. 9. hyperglycemia/impaired glucose tolerance: patient was maintained on a humalog insulin sliding scale for hyperglycemic correction though only required this very infrequently and did not need to be continued at discharge. 10. right shoulder pain: in ed patient complained of right shoulder pain in the setting of a recent fall. shoulder xray revealed no fracture but did indicate chronic rotator cuff disease. transition issues: 1. close monitoring of thyroid function tests as above 2. close monitoring of creatinine and bun as above. d/c cr 1.9 3. close monitoring of symptoms of diastolic heart failure. see d/c physical exam. 4. daily standing weight, if greater than 3lbs

Medical Report: allergies: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: common bile duct dilatation, admitted for ercp major surgical or invasive procedure: ercp w/ stent placement percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placed history of present illness: hpi: 85 y/o man with history of cva, essential tremor, compression fractures, hyperlipidemia, recurrent falls, previous cdiff who presented to from rehab with generalized weakness, nausea and abdominal pain. per his rehab facility, he vomited a large amount of bilious emesis the day prior to presentation also and was becoming progressively more confused. he also endorses recent decreased appetite. at , ruq ultrasound showed cbd dilation and gallbladder sludge in setting of elevated lfts. (dbili 2.2) and leukocytosis (wbc 21). the patient was reportedly persistently nauseous, vomiting although afebrile and was started on cipro/flagyl for presumed acalculous cholecystitis. he was subsequently transferred to for ercp. incidentally, in the setting of tachypnea and tachycardia, he was found to have pe on ct abdomen and pelvis at and started on heparin gtt. he was initially admitted to the general surgery service (dr. and ercp contact for urgent cholangiogram and ?extraction of stones. as ercp was not available at , he was transferred to . . the patient had recently been admitted to (unsure dates) for fall with vertebral fractures and post-operatively was treated with clindamycin and ceftriaxone for pneumonia. he developed c.diff colitis that required treatment with flagyl (started ). he had completed all of these antibiotics courses although felt the flagyl made him nauseous. . on transfer to , the patient was resting comfortably in bed although remained tachypneic, confused. denied any symptoms, though, including chest pain, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea. he received one liter normal saline bolus for persistent tachycardia into hr130s and 400mg ciprofloxacin and 500mg flagyl as he was due. past medical history: - recent admission for vertebral compression fractures, gluteal hematomas, epidural hematoma, rib fractures s/p fall down 14 stair steps () - cerebellar pontine stroke: in , on coumadin therapeutically to prevent progression. also ?prior cva with inconclusive bubble study for atrial septal defect vs. pfo. residual gait instability. - essential tremor: with gait and eating interference. has been treated with propranolol and primidone by dr. . orthostatic component to tremor? - seborrheic dermatitis - multiple lumbar compression fractures (old) with presumed osteoporosis - osteoarthritis of spine - hypercholesterolemia - macular degeneration with partial blindness - fecal incontinence (from prolapsed rectum) - s/p sigmoid colectomy - h/o recurrent falls - h/o cdiff (recently, at rehab facility) social history: prior to rehab, lived in two story home in with wife (also frail, elderly, currently hospitalized also). does not drive secondary to back issues, ambulates with walker with wheels. graduated from , was director of seminar series in salzburg, until retirement. smoking history of pack years, not currently. denies alcohol. family history: non-contributory physical exam: vs: t97.3, hr117-137, bp 111/68, 96% on 3l nasal cannula general appearance: no(t) well nourished, thin, breathing rapidly cardiovascular: (s1: normal), (s2: normal), tachycardic peripheral vascular: (right radial pulse: not assessed), (left radial pulse: not assessed), (right dp pulse: not assessed), (left dp pulse: not assessed) respiratory / chest: (breath sounds: clear : ) abdominal: soft, non-tender, bowel sounds present, no peritoneal signs, no organomegaly extremities: right lower extremity edema: absent, left lower extremity edema: absent skin: warm in general, cold bilateral lower extremities distally (feet) but with palpable pulses neurologic: responds to: verbal stimuli, movement: not assessed, tone: not assessed, aaox1 pertinent results: 06:22pm pt-18.6* ptt-29.3 inr(pt)-1.7* 06:22pm plt count-470*# 06:22pm neuts-93.4* lymphs-3.2* monos-2.8 eos-0.3 basos-0.3 06:22pm wbc-26.8*# rbc-4.01* hgb-13.3* hct-39.6*# mcv-99* mch-33.2* mchc-33.6 rdw-14.4 06:22pm lipase-10 06:22pm glucose-126* urea n-17 creat-0.8 sodium-141 potassium-3.9 chloride-109* total co2-20* anion gap-16 07:41pm urine blood-lg nitrite-neg protein-100 glucose-tr ketone-neg bilirubin-lg urobilngn-neg ph-6.5 leuk-mod brief hospital course: mr. is an 85 year old man with a pmhx s/f cva, recent c diff infection at rehab, pe, and acalculous cholecystitis who presented as a transfer from for an ercp. his major issues during the hospitalization included acalculous cholecystitis, sepsis, respiratory distress, acute kidney injury, delerium, and pe. # acalculous cholecystitis: mr. initially presented with alt/ast of 215/289, ldh of 339, alk phos of 726, and a tbili/dbili/indbili of 3.8/3.5/0.3 suggesting an obstructive biliary tree. ercp was performed on and a stent was placed. no major pus or biliary drainage was observed during the procedure. at the time of ercp, it was thought that mirrizi's syndrome was the etiology of his biliary obstruction, and the gi team recommended a percutaneous cholecystostomy tube. (mr. was not a candidate for cholecystectomy due to his elevated inr of 2.2). on , a percutaneous cholecystostomy tube was placed under ct guidance. on , his lfts had downtrended to alt/ast of 89/149, ldh of 293, alk phos of 594, and a tbili of 3.0. # sepsis: mr. initially was admitted with a wbc of 26.8, tachypnea to 24, and tachycardia to 95 consistent with sepsis with a suspected biliary source. a septic workup was performed including urine culture, blood culture, sputum culture, and culture of gallbladder secretions. zosyn was begun empirically due to suspected biliary source. from to wbc declined from 26.8 to 13.1 and mr. remained afebrile. on the day of transfer, blood/sputum/gallbladder cultures were no growth to date. on day of transfer urine culture was reported to grow enterococcus 10-100,000 cfu with sensitivities below: ampicillin------------ =>32 r linezolid------------- 2 s nitrofurantoin-------- 128 r tetracycline---------- =>16 r vancomycin------------ =>32 r enterococcus was consistent with vre. however, due to mr. clinical improvement, the decision was made not to treat with linezolid. furthermore, due to the low colony forming unit count for mr. vre, it was thought to be unlikely to contribute to his sepsis. it is likely that mr. bladder is colonized and not infected with vre. note that wbc increased from 11.8 to 13.1 on day of transfer. the icu team felt however, that his overall clinical improvement on zosyn spoke against the need for linezolid therapy. # respiratory distress: initially, mr. was tachypnic to 25-30 with an abg of 7.42/31/99/16 on ra consistent with a metabolic acidosis with a compensatory respiratory alkalosis. mr was also electively intubated for his ercp procedure and remained intubated post-operatively due to his tenuous condition; he was extubated approximately 24 hours later when it was determined that his clinical condition did not deteriorate and that he did not require ventilatory support. from a respiratory standpoint, mr continued to improve and at the time of discharge was on 2l nc satting 97%. # acute kidney injury: on admission, mr. had a bun/cr of 17/0.8. at the time of discharge, his renal function worsened to a bun/cr of 31/1.3. initially his uop was low (20-30cc/hr), which improved with fluid over time. upon discharge, his uop was 50-60cc/hr. at ~80kg, this is above his minimum of 40cc/hr. on , urine lytes were sent which revealed a fena of 0.49% and a una of 36. # delirium: mr. was found to have waxing and consciousness on admission which is not his baseline per his wife and family friend. his level of consciousness improved from aox1-2 on to aox2-3 on discharge, although he is not at his baseline. # pe: a subsegmental pe was discovered incidentally at . during this admission, he was maintained on a heparin gtt. warfarin was not initiated due to pt. being npo and need for future cholecystectomy. # c diff: mr. completed his flagyl course during this admission for previous c diff colitis. following cessation of his current antibiotic therapy (zosyn), mr. will require 2 weeks of prophylactic zosyn. medications on admission: * lipitor 10mg daily * ritalin 5mg twice daily * colace 1mg twice daily * buproprion 150mg twice daily * heparin gtt * flagyl 500mg daily discharge medications: 1. zosyn 4.5 gram recon soln sig: one (1) intravenous every eight (8) hours. 2. famotidine(pf) in (iso-os) 20 mg/50 ml piggyback sig: one (1) intravenous q24h (every 24 hours). 3. heparin (porcine) in ns 10,000 unit/1,000 ml parenteral solution sig: as directed per heparin sliding scale intravenous as directed per heparin sliding scale. discharge disposition: extended care discharge diagnosis: primary diagnoses: severe sepsis, acalculous cholecystitis, ascending cholangitis, pulmonary embolism, acute kidney injury, respiratory distress, delerium discharge condition: improved, stable condition. discharge instructions: it was a pleasure taking care of you here at . you were admitted for cholecystitis and cholangitis, an infection of the gallbladder and biliary tree, for which you were given antibiotics. initially your blood pressure was low and you were given fluids to bring it back to normal. you had an ercp (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), during which a stent was placed in your bile duct to keep it open. eventually, a cholecystostomy tube was also placed, which goes through your abdomen into your gallbladder to drain and decompress your gallbladder. after placement of this tube, your condition improved dramatically. you were then transferred to for further care. you were transferred on zosyn, an antibiotic, which your physicians at will continue or change at their discretion. followup instructions: you should follow up with your pcp within one week of discharge from . in addition, please attend the following appointments: department: endo suites when: thursday at 10:00 am department: digestive disease center when: thursday at 10:00 am with: , md building: building (/ complex) campus: east best parking: main garage procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified insertion of endotracheal tube endoscopic insertion of stent (tube) into bile duct percutaneous aspiration of gallbladder diagnoses: acidosis pure hypercholesterolemia acute kidney failure, unspecified unspecified septicemia severe sepsis personal history of tobacco use other and unspecified hyperlipidemia acute respiratory failure alkalosis osteoporosis, unspecified paralytic ileus personal history of transient ischemic attack (tia), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits acute cholecystitis cholangitis obstruction of bile duct other and unspecified coagulation defects other pulmonary embolism and infarction pathologic fracture of vertebrae spondylosis of unspecified site, without mention of myelopathy essential and other specified forms of tremor Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

occluded rca now s/p cypher stent. course c/b groin hematoma. . 1) cad/stemi: the patient initially had symptoms of dizziness, diaphoresis, nausea, she was found to be hypotensive and ems was called. the initial ekg demonstrated st elevations in inferior leads ii, iii, an avf. a right sided ekg showed st elevations on v4r indicating a likely rv infarct. she was given asa, plavix, heparin and integrillin and taken urgently to the cath lab. she was found to have 2vd with a 90% lesion in the distal lad and a 95% occlusion of the mrca. a cypher stent was deployed to the mrca lesion. she was monitored in the ccu given risk of hypotension and bradycardia following rv infarct. she was asymptomatic following catheterization. she remained hemodynamically stable. she was continued on asa and plavix which she will need for 1 year. her integrillin was stopped due to a groin hematoma as discussed below. once her groin hematoma stablized she was restarted on lovenox. the patient has a know allergy to lipitor and crestor, therefore, she was started on pravastatin as this statin has a lower occurence of side effects. she tolerated this well. initially her antihypertensives were held in light of her low cardiac output and recent wenckebach. when her cardiac profile improved, she was restarted on her beta-blocker, aspirin, and plavix. she has an outpatient appointment with her cardiologist to follow up. . 2) groin hematoma: post-cath the patient was noted to have a left groin hematoma so her integrillin was stopped. a stat groin us showed a small 2x2cm pseudoaneurysm that was thrombosed. a pressure dressing was applied and her hematoma remained stable. her hematocrit was stable at 24 (down from baseline of 35), the patient refused transfusion. a second groin us showed no flow in the pseudoaneurysm and complete thrombosis. a residual hematoma was noted and stable. . 3) rhythm: in the , ekg was significant for wenckebach. this resolved, she remained in nsr on telemetry. . 4) pump: during her cardiac catheterization she was noted to have depressed cardiac function in the setting of her mi. the lvgram showed a ef 55%, co 3.11, and wedge of 23. a repeat echo showed new, mild regional left and right systolic dysfunction and an ef of 50-55%. however, the study was technically limited and an outpatient echo with contrast has been ordered. . 5) htn: at home the pt was on cozaar, hctz and lopressor. during her inpatient stay her medications were adjusted, she as discharged on lower doses of her beta blocker and cozaar and her hctz was discontinued since her blood pressure was well controlled without it. her bp meds should be uptitrated or restarted as needed as an outpatient. . 6) elevated blood glucose: the patient's blood glucose was noted to be elevated. a hba1c was high normal at 5.7. her elevated glucose could be stress induced. however, this could also indicate new glucose intolerance. this should be followed as an outpatient. she was maintained in house on a riss. . 7) cellulitis: mrs. had evidence of cellulitis of the rle. she was started on ceftrioxone with good results and completed her course of antibiotics prior to discharge. an us of the lower extremities was done and showed no dvt. . 8) leukocytosis: on presentation to the ccu, the patient had a wbc count of 14, this was likely due to cellulitis or inflammation from her mi. she completed her course of ceftrioxone during her stay and her wbc count continued to trend down. she had a low grade fever of 100, cxr was performed that was negative for an acute process and ua showed increased wbc but no bacteria. her fever was attributed to likely atelectasis. . 9) fen: cardiac diet . 10) ppx: sq heparin, bowel reg . 11) access: piv . 12) code: full . 13) comm: daughter

cpap, but with a significant symptomatic improvement to lasix, she was able to have oxygen titrated down to nc. she denies any ensuing cp prior to the episode and had no palpitations. she denies any recent le swelling, premonitory sob, or lightheadedness. patient had a recent hospitalization 2 weeks prior to presentation. at that time she ruled out for mi, and was discharged following adjustments to medication. patient underwent a pharm neuclear stress test, which was nondiagnostic on ekg, with failure to show changes in baseline sinus bradycardia. there is no report in the transfer records of elevated cardiac enzymes. per report, nuclear imaging showed nuclear mixed inferior defect. patient was transfered to for cardiac catheterization." . oon , pt underwent a cardiac catheterization which showed isrs and she had 2 des to the lad placed. she did well post-cath and received renal protection via bicarb and mucomyst. her volume status remained tenuous and she was aggressively diuresed. however, her renal function also began to decline, raising concern for overdiuresis. her room air sats remained low, though, so her outpatient lasix dose was resumed. today, she was given her am dose of lasix, but her afternoon dose was held because of her rising creatinine and her euvolemic status. however, in the evening, the patient began to complain of respiratory distress. her sbp were found to be in the 160s-170s. she was given: 60mg iv lasix (with minimal uop), 4mg iv morphine total, and nitroglycerin gtt at 1.4mcg/kg/min. sats were 78% on 3-4l -> improved only to 90-92% on nrb. she was given an additional dose of 120mg lasix iv with minimal uop. an abg showed ph 7.18, pco2 95, and po2 94. decision was made to attempt bipap but that was unable to be performed on the floor. the patient was minimally responsive and was using accessory muscles of respiration. the decision was made to intubate her for airway protection and control. she was intubated easily (with etom/succ) and brought to the ccu for further management. ekg performed on arrival to the sicu were concerning for st elevations in the precordial leads, but they resolved somewhat with time so the decision was made to follow her enzymes and not go to cath urgently. she remained on heparin iv overnight for possible acs as her troponins were elevated (but her ck was flat). past medical history: -cad -> multivessel

returned to the floor. she was noted to have a creatinine rise at this time. she developed volume overload and went into flash pulmonary edema on the floor. she was emergently intubated on . she at this time had no urine output to 60mg iv lasix. she then put out to 120mg iv lasix and diuril. patient was noted to have a new lbbb at this time. pt was noted to have an enzyme leak at this time, but her troponins were flat for the next day. the following day she was extubated. she at that time developed shortness of breath and her enzymes trended up. she was taken back to the cardiac cath lab where she was noted to have an sub-acute thrombosus of at the distal margin of her recently placed lad taxus stent. ptca was done and a bare metal stent was placed. a repeat transthoracic echo was showed a lvef of 25%, with global hypokinesis, a change from patients echo. . at this time patient was noted to be in fluid overload. she had a left sided pleural effusion and an increasing oxygen requirement. on a thoracentesis was done to help reduce oxygen requirement. . patient had received two dye loads in one week. she at this time was making urine, but not putting out substantially to her lasix. a lasix drip was started. at this time the patient developed acute renal failure. her cr had climbed from 2.0 (1.3 on admit) to cr 4.0. patient was not responding well to diuril or lasix. the renal service was consulted to evaluate for cvvh. cvvh was considered and on the day prior to death, it was felt that clinically the patient could wait another day before starting dialysis. . around this time metoprolol was stopped as patient was considered to be in an acute systolic chf exacerbation. she was also started on milrinone to help forward flow, in the hopes that it would aide in kidney perfusion and lead to better diuresis. . in the early morning of . patient reported sudden onset of shortness of breath. an ecg was done which showed no change from prior. patients vitals were stable. she was slightly tachycardic, but normotensive. patients oxygen requirements had not changed and on physical exam her lungs sounded clearer than earlier in the day. she was given iv morphine, started on a nitro drip and her milrinone was discontinued. patients shortness of breath was relieved by this regimen. . starting 4 hours prior to this the patient stopped making urine. she was not responding to lasix at this time. the patient's vitals were at this time stable. normal heart rate, normotensive, normal rr, above 90% oxygen saturations. she was breathing with out distress and denied any more sensation of chest pain or dyspnea. the team felt that there was no need to consult for urgent dialysis. renal had evaluated the patient only 7 hours prior and felt cvvh was not needed. plans were in place for renal to reevaluate for cvvh first thing in the morning. . at 3am, the housestaff was notified by nursing that the patient had passed away. there was no change in vitals or further complaints by patient prior to passing. telemetry showed the patient went from normal sinus rhythm straight into asystole. the patient had been made dnr/dni two days prior to this episode, so no code was called. . the attending physician and next of were notified. pcp was later notified. patient's daughter who was the healthcare proxy was offered and refused an autopsy. the primary cause of death was considered to be coronary artery disease. the immediate cause was unknown as there was no post-mortem. it was hypothesized that the cause of death was from a very sudden etiology such as acute thrombosus of her lad, pulmonary embolism or another condition leading to a possible pea cardiopulmonary arrest. this is however only speculation. pt was never witnessed to be

respiratory distress: pt initially fit sirs criteria with tachypnea and leukocytosis. pna was suspected by leukocytosis and history of frequent cough, as well as potential aspiration risk. pt was recently treated for mdr klebsiella vap with cefepime until and vancomycin until . it appears that the previous culture grew two strains of klebsiella, only one was sensitive to cefepime, so it was possible that it was incompletely treated. also possible is pe, but less likely given supratherapeutic inr. pt's sputum culture grew pseudomonas and received 8 days of meropenem for presumed hcap. albuterol and ipratropium mdis were also given during course along with lasix diuresis. pt's respiratory status improved throughout sstay and tolerated 2 hour periods off of the ventilator by the end of course. on the day on his planned discharge () he was noted to have secretions which were thought to be fluid status. a cxr was performed which was slightly improved from prior. sputum cx were sent, however there was low concern for infection given he had finished his 8 day course of meropenem the day prior. his lasix 40mg iv bid was restarted out of concern for fluid overload. this was transitioned to 80mg po bid in anticipation of discharge. electrolytes and weights should be monitored and lasix dose should be adjusted. of note, on the day of discharge it was noted that his sputum culture had grown pseudomonas so rehab was called and the physician taking care of him there was personally advised to continue meropenem for a total of two weeks (with a planned stop date of ) in an effort to completely and optimally treat this pseudomonas. finally, there were multiple family meetings with the patient's wife and the patient - he is aware that he is chronically critically ill and that his likelihood of completely coming off the ventilator is guarded at best; he (and his wife) elect to continue pursuing rehab at this time, although the idea of hospice was introduced during this hospitalization - neither he nor his wife is ready to consider complete transition to palliative care at this time. # c-diff by report: pt was found to be c. diff toxin positive at previous hospitalization at osh, and was continued on flagyl at with flexiseal in place. was the projected date to stop flagyl (2 weeks after completion of meropenem). # atrial fibrillation: pt's chads2 score of 4, but anticoagulation was held initially due to supratherapeutic inr. coumadin restarted once inr was below <2. pt was rate controlled with metoprolol tartrate 25 mg po tid. his inr was difficult to control likely due to antibiotic therapy and decreased hepatic clearance. his warfarin was decreased to 2.5 and eventually held for multiple doses given a supratheraputic inr. today inr was 2.8 and warfarin can be restated at 2.5mg. inr should be rechecked on and warfarin dose can be adjusted at that time. # anemia: 28.6 at discharge on . unsure if this is anemia of chronic disease versus occult bleed from elevated inr. guaiac stools were negative and no obvious acute bleeding was found during micu stay. hematocrit remained stable. # polymyalgia rheumatica: was previously treated with prednisone 15mg po daily, but was never given pcp . we discontinued hydroxycholoroquine in the setting of treating pneumonia along with titrating down pt's prednisone from 15mg to 10mg po daily. bactrim pcp prophylaxis was given. # type ii dm: pt was on metformin (glucophage) 1000 mg po bid, pioglitazone 30 mg po daily and nph 4 units breakfast, nph 4 units dinner with iss pre-admission. we continued pt on iss and serum glucose remained in mid 100s. # history of hypothyroidism: tsh 2.0 from and was on levothyroxine sodium 300 mcg po daily upon admission. pt was discharged on this dose with recommendations for follow-up on tsh at rehab. # hyperlipidemia: unknown control. pt was discharged on home dose of simvastatin 40 mg po daily and niacin 250 mg po tid # right sided picc: picc line terminates in the superior vena cava, as before, inserted via right-sided approach. pt was discharged with picc. # tube feeds: g tube in place. pt tolerated isosource 1.5 cal full strength at 70cc/hr. # rash in perianal area: pt's decubitus wound was dressed with following regimen: cleanse area around flexiseal with foam cleanser and pat dry. apply criticade clear, then wrap xeroform gauze

malaria

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 an 88 year old armenian speaking gentleman transferred to from status post acute anterolateral st elevation mi. the patient's st elevation mi was complicated by ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia arrest two to three times in the field. on , the patient underwent cardiac catheterization for progressive exertional angina. the cardiac catheterization on , showed one vessel disease and the patient underwent successful stenting of his left anterior descending coronary artery/diagonal two bifurcation using the crush technique. the patient does have a history of lower gastrointestinal bleed felt secondary to hemorrhoids based on past colonoscopy and subsequently developed a hematocrit drop, reportedly from 34.0 to 26.0 while on aspirin and plavix. his primary care physician discontinued his aspirin and plavix given the concern for the lower gastrointestinal bleeding on . on the morning of admission, , the patient developed chest pain, dyspnea, diaphoresis. ems was called and the patient was found to have an anterior myocardial infarction. the patient had several ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia arrests in the field and, at the outside hospital, each time he responded to 200 joule shocks. he was treated with lidocaine, heparin drip, aspirin, aggrastat, dopamine and was transferred to for more urgent cardiac care. cardiac catheterization on arrival to showed a thrombosis of the previously placed left anterior descending coronary artery stent. the patient underwent successful rheolytic treatment and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. the patient had an intraaortic balloon pump placed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and was transferred to the cardiac icu for further monitoring. past medical history: coronary artery disease. gastrointestinal bleed, colonoscopy , reportedly found only hemorrhoids. hypertension. hard of hearing bilaterally. status post bilateral knee surgery. the patient does not have a history of diabetes mellitus or high cholesterol. history of smoking, however, he quit over thirty years ago. social history: the patient is a retired shirt maker. he lives alone and has a very active life according to his sons. has two sons, and , and a daughter, . is an armenian immigrant. family history: noncontributory. medications on admission: 1. aspirin 325 mg p.o. once daily. 2. plavix 75 mg p.o. once daily, both of which have been held since . 3. lopressor 25 mg p.o. twice a day. 4. terazosin 2 mg q.h.s. 5. lipitor 10 mg p.o. once daily. 6. senokot p.r.n. 7. nitroglycerine p.r.n. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies according to his children. physical examination: on arrival, he is afebrile, temperature 96.8, heart rate 115 to 116, blood pressure 120s to 130s over 80s to 90s, respiratory rate 23, weight 87 kilograms. in general, the patient was intubated, somewhat somnolent but responsive to his sons, following commands on occasions. he was in no apparent distress. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination is normocephalic and atraumatic. his sclera were anicteric. the pupils are equal, round and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements were intact bilaterally. the mucous membranes are moist. the oropharynx is clear. the neck was supple and jugular venous pressure was approximately seven centimeters at 45 degree angle. he had no audible bruits. he had a left internal jugular central line which was clean, dry and intact. cardiovascular examination was regular, rate 90s to 115. he had normal s1 to s2 without audible murmurs, rubs or gallops. the chest was clear to auscultation anteriorly with good aeration. the abdomen was obese, soft, nontender, nondistended, normoactive bowel sounds, no palpable hepatosplenomegaly or pulsatile masses. extremities were warm and dry with no cyanosis, clubbing or edema, one plus pedal pulses bilaterally. his skin was without rashes. right groin catheter and sheath site were clean, dry and intact with minimal oozing and no palpable hematoma. neurological examination: he is following intermittent commands from sons speaking armenian. he had no obvious focal neurological deficits. he was moving all extremities. laboratory data: on arrival to the coronary care unit, his intraaortic balloon pump was at 1:1. admission electrocardiogram was notable for a junctional tachycardia at 105 beats per minute, left axis deviation, st elevations which were 3.0 millimeters v2 through v6, new compared to previous electrocardiogram . outside electrocardiograms were similar to the electrocardiogram on arrival to , however, the st elevations have been even more pronounced including i and avl at the outside hospital. he had no known previous echocardiogram. cardiac catheterization on , showed thrombotic occlusion at the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stent, treated with rheolytic treatment, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with 20 percent residual disease at the left anterior descending coronary artery stent, 40 percent at the diagonal origin. there is no evidence of dissection. hemodynamics in the cardiac catheterization laboratory were reported at cardiac index of 3.4, cardiac output of 7.13, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure with a mean of 35 and right atrial mean pressure of 17 and pulmonary artery pressures of 44/29. laboratory from outside hospital showed a ck of 60, mb 0.8. chem7 showed sodium of 142, potassium 3.9, chloride 105, bicarbonate 20, blood urea nitrogen 28, creatinine 1.6, glucose 157. complete blood count showed a white blood cell count of 9.0, hematocrit 29.8, platelet count 364,000, mcv 82. calcium 8.8, alt 23, ast 17. albumin 3.3, total bilirubin 0.3, alkaline phosphatase 109. inr 1.02, partial thromboplastin time 20.0. hospital course: this is an 88 year old gentleman was transferred to from outside hospital status post acute anterolateral st elevation myocardial infarction complicated by several episodes of ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia arrest and was found on emergent cardiac catheterization here to have restenosis of his proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stent which was successfully opened with rheolytic and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty therapy requiring intraaortic balloon pump postprocedure. st elevation myocardial infarction - based on his electrocardiogram, the patient had a large st elevation myocardial infarction. he was continued on aggrastat 24 hour postprocedure. he will require plavix therapy for nine months post left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis. he will need to continue aspirin indefinitely. post cardiac catheterization, the patient was continued on heparin therapy. post cardiac catheterization, the patient require intraaortic balloon pump to maintain cardiac output. in addition, he was requiring dopamine for blood pressure support. the patient's dopamine was weaned down over the next several days. his intraaortic balloon pump was discontinued on . the patient had an echocardiogram to evaluate his myocardial function post st elevation myocardial infarction. the patient's echocardiogram documented his left atrium was mildly dilated. he had mild left ventricular hypertrophy, severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with near akinesis of the anterior septum, anterior wall, apex, distal and inferior wall hypokinesis as well. his ejection fraction was approximately 25 percent. no left ventricular aneurysm was noted and no masses or thrombi were noted in the left ventricle. based on the significant akinesis, it was felt the patient would likely benefit from long term anticoagulation to prevent the risk of thrombotic embolic stroke. the team discussed with the patient's family the risks and benefits of anticoagulation given his history of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. the team explained that aspirin and plavix were clearly indicated, however, coumadin was somewhat controversial. even with it being controversial, the team did feel that he would possibly benefit from coumadin over the long term and felt that a trial of coumadin in the controlled setting of the hospital would be beneficial for the patient. after discussing this with the family, the family talked with the patient and the patient was initiated on coumadin. the patient was noted to have guaiac positive stool after initiating coumadin and gastroenterology was consulted for further workup. at this point, the patient's coumadin was discontinued, however, he was continued on aspirin and plavix. in addition in the setting of recent myocardial infarction, the patient was initiated on higher dose of lipitor 80 mg p.o. once daily. he should have his liver function tests reevaluated four weeks after initiating this medication on . atrial fibrillation - after discontinuing the intraaortic balloon pump, the patient was noted to be in supraventricular tachycardia. electrocardiogram of this rhythm noted it to be most consistent with atrial fibrillation. the patient continued to have bursts of atrial fibrillation throughout his hospital stay which seemed to be best controlled with intravenous amiodarone. an attempt was made to transition the patient from intravenous amiodarone after significant loading to p.o. amiodarone, however, the patient continued to have bursts of atrial fibrillation on the p.o. amiodarone. the patient's rapid atrial fibrillation was treated with metoprolol intravenously at 2.5 mg increments. this did seem to help break the patient out of his atrial fibrillation rhythm by virtue of the slower rapid ventricular response, however, the patient was noted to have significant sinus pauses with the use of metoprolol. his atrial fibrillation was complicated by the fact that the patient developed flash pulmonary edema with these episodes of atrial fibrillation. in addition, his sinus pauses were up to five seconds when the atrial fibrillation was treated with intravenous metoprolol. therefore, the patient was restarted on intravenous amiodarone therapy. the team felt that possibly his significant volume overload status was due to inability to absorb p.o. medications through his bowel wall. a plan was in place to transition the patient back to p.o. amiodarone after several days of intravenous amiodarone therapy. congestive heart failure - the patient was noted to have evidence of increased pulmonary vascular markings and peripheral edema consistent with congestive heart failure after multiple episodes of atrial fibrillation. in addition, the patient had received significant volume resuscitation with his hypotension post cardiac catheterization and intraaortic balloon pump placement. it was felt that the volume resuscitation for his hypotension as well as rapid atrial fibrillation contributed to development of congestive heart failure. the patient was initially started on nesiritide drip as well as ace inhibitor for afterload reduction in the hopes of diuresis. the nesiritide was continued from , to , when the nesiritide was discontinued secondary to hypotension. at this point, the patient's hypotension became a limiting factor in terms of further diuresis. however, after several days, his blood pressure stabilized and we were able to further diurese the patient with intravenous lasix. due to difficulty with his fluid status, the patient did have a swan- ganz catheter placed after initiating coumadin , to have better assessment of the patient's hemodynamics. initial swan pressures showed right atrial pressure 18, right ventricular pressure 51/20, pulmonary artery pressures 55/30/44 and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of approximately 35, however, this was felt to be a poor wedge. repeat wedge pressures was a mean of 23. swan-ganz catheter was discontinued on , after significant progress had been made in his volume status. the patient was noted to have significant bilateral pleural effusions. these were tapped by interventional pulmonary service for diagnostic purposes. cultures were sent. there were no organisms and no polymorphonuclear cells on gram stain. cultures did not grow any bacteria. this was felt to be likely just a result of his congestive heart failure. gastrointestinal bleed - the patient has a history of lower gastrointestinal bleed felt secondary to hemorrhoids based on past colonoscopy. on admission to coronary care unit, he did have a nasogastric tube and was noted to have gastric occult positive nasogastric output. the patient was continued on heparin post cardiac catheterization and decision was made after speaking with the family about the benefits to initiate coumadin therapy in a controlled setting. after several days of coumadin, the patient was noted to have heme positive stool. gastroenterology was consulted regarding further workup of his gastrointestinal bleeding. upper endoscopy was performed which documented three gastric erosions which were not actually bleeding but were felt to be the source of the gastrointestinal bleed. the gastroenterology team felt that given his recent st elevation myocardial infarction, he was too high risk to perform lower intestinal evaluation with colonoscopy. they recommended follow-up colonoscopy in several months. the patient was empirically treated with protonix p.o. twice a day. in addition, he was tested for h. pylori antigen and his h. pylori antibody was positive suggestive of active or past infection. a decision was made to hold on treating his h. pylori immediately given his multiple medical problems and concern that the patient may be at risk for aspiration with multiple p.o. tablets. however, the patient should initiate h. pylori therapy prior to discharge. e. coli bacteremia - on , the patient had blood cultures drawn. three out of four bottles came back positive for e. coli which was resistant only to ampicillin and ampicillin/sulbactam. the patient was started on levofloxacin immediately with the first fever spike and given the concern for infection. in addition, his antibiotics were broadened to vancomycin and zosyn the following day given concern that this could be multiple sources such as associated pneumonia, line infection, urinary tract infection. however, after the blood cultures grew out e. coli, the patient's antibiotics were narrowed to ciprofloxacin 200 mg intravenously once daily. in addition, one out of four bottles grew out coagulase negative staphylococcus which was felt to be a contaminant. the patient had received several days of vancomycin which should have covered for this. on , the patient's vancomycin was discontinued. given the need for pacemaker placement, infectious disease service was consulted regarding the duration of the antibiotic therapy. infectious disease recommended that the patient continue on ciprofloxacin for a full fourteen day course. his last day of antibiotics should be . all repeat blood cultures from , , , , have been no growth to date at the time of this dictation. the source of infection was possibly secondary to bacterial translocation across the bowel wall in the setting of gastrointestinal bleeding, especially given multiple negative urine cultures. arrhythmia, sinus pause - the patient was noted to have significant sinus pause with beta blocker treatment of rapid atrial fibrillation. the patient was noted to have junctional rhythm in the 30s after 2.5 of intravenous metoprolol as well as five second pause. decision was made to avoid further nodal blocking agents. most likely, the patient will require a pacemaker for this. electrophysiology was consulted and agreed with this course of therapy. he should have a pacemaker placed prior to discharge home, however, this will not be done until the patient has been adequately treated with intravenous antibiotics for his e. coli bacteremia. aspiration - concern was raised regarding the patient's ability to swallow without aspiration. the patient was noted to cough on multiple occasions after eating and drinking. the patient did have a bedside swallowing evaluation on . the swallowing assessment noted that the patient cleared his throat on several occasions after coughing following sips of thin liquids from the cup as well as through the straw. he was noticed to have a pill get stuck in his throat which cleared after a sip of water. however, he did grimace occasionally with swallowing. bedside swallow evaluation recommended that the patient have a video swallow to definitively rule out aspiration and make safe diet recommendations. in the meantime, the patient was continued on nectar thick liquids with cups of only pureed solids. the patient's seemed to be tolerating this well. he should have a video swallow prior to discharge. please see discharge

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 60 year-old male with a history of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, history of sbl, question of crohn's disease with an etoh history who initially presented from the outside hospital with jarring and tearing abdominal pain with radiation to the back and hypotension from 68/30 to 38/palp. he was transferred to the on when he was fluid resuscitated with good response, given 3 units of fresh frozen platelets, 1 unit of packed red blood cells. he had an abdominal ct, which revealed subcapsular liver hematoma and was guaiac positive. he was transferred to the intensive care unit. initially white blood cell count was 21.6, hematocrit was 29.7, inr 1.8, creatinine 1.7 with normal liver function tests. the patient was intubated on and had a liver angiogram, because the ct with contrast revealed multiple liver masses and a cirrhotic liver with the largest mass bleeding. the patient received chemo embolization of two branches of the left hepatic artery as well as coiling. a left subclavian was placed on and then changed over a wire on . the patient's hematocrit post procedure was noted to drop from 29.7 to 22.8. he received a total of 10 units of packed red blood cells, 4 bags of platelets, 1 cryo, 17 units of fresh frozen platelets between and . the patient's blood cultures were positive for one out of four bottles of coag negative staph. the patient began to spike on to a max of 102.6. he grew out gram negative rods consistent with e-coli in his sputum on and was started on zosyn and then was changed to levo. the patient also had an elevated sodium to a max of 157 on . a right subclavian was placed on . repeat ct on revealed no abscess, but revealed an interval increase in ascites and multiple liver masses. the patient's antibiotics were then changed to vancomycin and zosyn based on mrsa positive sputum on and . antibiotics were then changed to vancomycin, ceftriaxone and flagyl on . past medical

hep serologies all pending. c-diff pending. blood cultures pending. other results as stated above. hospital course: 1. cirrhosis: throughout his hospitalization the patient had elevated transaminases. additionally his liver parenchymal was consistent with cirrhosis. the patient had continued ascites throughout his hospitalization. paracentesis was performed and was consistent with a transudate. additionally it was not significant for an sbp. during his hospitalization there was concern regarding possible compartment syndrome based on the fact that the patient's ascites would continue to grow. the patient had decreased urine output. however, a bladder pressure was obtained, which ruled out compartment syndrome. hepatology was following and felt that repeated paracentesis was indicated only should the patient have pulmonary compromise. however, the patient remained stable on room air and then on oxygen by nasal cannula, hence a repeat paracentesis was not performed. the patient's cytology and pathology results was consistent with hepatoma. given that his disease was so diffuse with multiple hepatic masses and most likely seeding in his abdomen the family decided that they did not want to initiate any chemotherapy at the current time. hep serologies remained negative. 2. the patient had persistent fevers initially. the differential diagnoses include mrsa, pneumonia, e-coli, necrotizing hepatic masses, ischemic bowel, sbp, diarrhea, endocarditis, deep venous thrombosis, pe, drug fever given that the patient was on zosyn and has a penicillin allergy, atelectasis, endocarditis, dvt and pe were all ruled out. sbp was ruled out based on peritoneal fluid analysis and the patient's fever curb trended down. it was felt secondary to heavy tumor burden and consistent with patient metastatic cancer. pan cultures were obtained, however, and remained negative except for those mentioned above. 3. cardiovascular: the patient did have episodes of a supraventricular tachycardia, however, remained asymptomatic during these episodes. he had multiple rule out protocols performed and ruled out for myocardial infarction on repeated occasions. 4. acute renal failure: the patient had acute on chronic worsening of his renal failure, but with hydration his creatinine normalized to the baseline of 1.3. additionally his hyponatremia improved with free water boluses. 5. fen: the patient was maintained on tube feeds. 6. lines: the patient had a peripheral as well as ....... in his left upper extremity. 7. communication: with his wife. after having extensive discussions with the wife it was decided that the patient should be made dnr/dni and then later the patient was made comfort measures only. this was due to the fact that the patient had widely metastatic carcinoma with mets to the liver and most likely peritoneal seating with an increase in his ascites. by the time of transfer to the micu to the general medicine floor the patient again had elevated sodiums up to 152. these were managed with free water boluses, otherwise the patient's ascites continued to increase. however, he remained stable on 2 liters of oxygen. his family did not reparacentesis. they felt that the patient should be transitioned into hospice care. a hospice bed could not be found given that there was conflict between the facilities available in the area where the patient lived and his type of insurance. the patient was eventually transferred to the medicine service and per report the patient expired a few days thereafter. however, the intern taking care of him on the medicine floor will dictate that part of the discharge summary. dr., 12-944 dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more

to the operating room for debridement and biopsy of his area. the patient now returns for additional debridement and resection of his right mandible with the placement of a free flap. the patient was initially admitted to the surgical intensive care unit postoperatively for monitoring of his free flap placement. on the patient's postoperative check, he was found to be stable and his flap was pink with a good capillary refill times. his incision was clean, dry, and intact with his - draining serosanguineous fluid. it was at this time that the patient was deemed to have tolerated anesthesia and procedure well, and he would continue to be followed by the plastics team. the patient also had a tracheostomy tube placed by the otolaryngology and was placed on a respiratory ventilator at this time to assist with breathing. this was to be followed by the respiratory team and managed by the other team as well. the patient continued to recover from the procedure and anesthesia well with no complications or events. the graft and split-thickness skin graft appeared viable with good capillary refill time and good coloration. it appeared at this time that there was a 100% take of the graft. it was noted that on postoperative day two, the patient did have a low-grade fever which was felt most likely to be secondary to clostridium difficile. stool titers were collected and sent for evaluation of the presence of clostridium difficile. the patient's flap continued to be dressed in a kerlix and a dry sterile dressing. the patient was instructed to keep his head elevated at all times. the patient's airway continued to be managed by the ear/nose/throat service. it was also on postoperative day two that the patient was counseled to the physical therapy service where he was instructed to be out of bed three times per day as tolerated. on postoperative day three, the patient was stable enough to be transferred to the floor from the intensive care unit. currently, the patient was afebrile with vital signs stable and intact. the patient's wound from his donor site was clean, dry, and intact with no hematoma or ecchymosis. the patient's tracheostomy tube was intact, and the patient's split-thickness skin graft remained under his dressing. the patient's flap continued to look good with good coloration and capillary refill time. the patient did continue to demonstrate the low-grade fever at this time. the patient was encouraged to be out of bed and to continue to have his head elevated. on postoperative day four, the patient continued to recover uneventfully. the patient remained with a low-grade temperature. otherwise, his vital signs were stable and intact. the patient was noted to have some secretions from his tracheostomy tube which were noted to have been decreasing steadily from their first appearance on postoperative day three. of note, on postoperative day four, the patient's clostridium difficile titers were found to be negative at this time. the patient was continued on his current treatment course with head elevation and encouragement to be out of bed with assistance three times per day. the patient's postoperative day five was significant for a thrombophlebitis formation in his right arm. to treat this, the patient was encouraged to keep his arm elevated. the patient was continued on antibiotics from his postoperative admission, and the patient was encouraged to place cold packs on his right arm for comfort. the antibiotic choice for the patient's right arm phlebitis was clindamycin. the patient also received a nutrition consultation so as to properly manage and maximize his nutritional care through his tube feeds. on postoperative day six, the patient's examination showed that he was afebrile with vital signs stable and intact. the patient had good urine output and good nutritional intake. the patient's flap looked good with a good capillary refill time and coloration. it appeared at this time that the graft had a 100% take. the patient continued to be followed by the plastics team during his hospital stay. on postoperative day seven, the patient was found to have some serosanguineous drainage on the left side of his neck split-thickness skin graft. within the oral cavity, his incision from his skin flap had dehisced, and there was some air noted within the tissues. upon re-examination by the plastics team, the patient's anterior flap which was intraoral was found to have some dehiscence with some necrotic tissue on the skin flap of his neck. it was at this time that the patient was determined to have developed an orocutaneous fistula. the patient's plan and treatment would be to pack the wound open at the neck with new gauze to control the fistula. the patient was okay to continue tube feeds and was deemed to be stable. it was at this time that no additional intervention was deemed to be necessary, and that simply the patient's wound would be packed open twice per day. on postoperative day eight, the patient was complaining of increased secretions and shortness of breath despite suctioning of his oral cavity. the patient's oxygen saturation was currently 98% at this time. the patient's lung examination was noted to have coarse rales bilaterally. there was a thick brown sanguinous drainage noted during the suctioning of his oral cavity. the patient's tracheostomy tube was in place. it was undetermined at this time the origin of the patient's increased secretions. the patient was determined to not have desaturated at this time. the workup of the patient's shortness of breath and increased secretions included chest x-rays to rule out pulmonary causes for increased secretions and a sputum culture. the patient's fistula also continued to be packed open and painted with a topical bacitracin ointment. on postoperative day eight, the patient was also found to have the skin flaps around his neck skin graft to be erythematous. in addition, the patient's right forearm and wrist thrombophlebitis had increased and was now determined to be a soft tissue cellulitis. there was also a note of purulent drainage from a previous intravenous site. this purulent drainage was cultured and sent for workup. in addition, to the workup from the purulent drainage and infectious disease consultation was placed to better manage the patient's phlebitis/cellulitis. infectious disease recommendations consisted of continuing levofloxacin and clindamycin as well as adding vancomycin for empiric coverage of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus species. on postoperative day nine, the patient was found to be afebrile with vital signs stable and intact. the patient's sputum culture came back negative for pneumonia. the patient's right arm cellulitis began to improve since switching to the vancomycin, levofloxacin, and clindamycin combination. the patient's overall health and condition seemed to be improving at this time. the patient no longer had any difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. the patient's oxygen saturations remained stable and within an acceptable range. on postoperative day nine, the following infectious disease recommendations were made and instituted. the patient was switched from clindamycin to flagyl with a total antibiotic regimen consisting of flagyl, levaquin, and vancomycin. the patient's right arm cellulitis continued to improve with infectious disease requesting blood cultures which were negative at this time. infectious disease recommendations also included a 6-week course of antibiotics at the least for treatment of this right-sided neck fistula secondary to having hardware in place in this area. from this point on, the patient continued his hospital course relatively uneventfully with no other events or complications other than those previously noted. the patient was afebrile. vital signs were stable and intact. the patient's fistula continued to be packed open by the plastics team. on postoperative day eleven, the infectious disease team left the following recommendations. they noted that the patient's orocutaneous fistula may not heal without further surgical revision. this recommendation would further be discussed between all teams following the patient as well as with the patient and his family. the infectious disease team also noted that the patient's right arm and neck wound cellulitis were most likely due to methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and recommended continuing the patient on vancomycin. blood cultures from (it appears) as noted in the infectious disease note showed that he was methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus positive in his right arm and his neck wound. also on postoperative day eleven, the patient was transferred so that the plastic surgery team was now his primary care team. on postoperative day twelve, the patient's treatment regimen was now including mild bedside debridement of some mild fibrous exudate around his orocutaneous fistula. this area continued to be packed open as before, and the rest of his treatment regimen remained the same. on postoperative day fifteen, the hospital course remained steady an uneventful. at this time, during the gentle bedside debridements, it was noted that the patient's mandibular plate had become exposed anteriorly with the remaining flap intact. the patient continued to have the presence of an orocutaneous fistula. it was at this time that the decision was made to take the patient back to the operating room for some additional debridement of his wound with a possible local skin wound closure. the patient was made aware of the plan which was discussed with him fully, and the patient demonstrated that he understood the outcome and possibilities of the surgical plan and indicated that he wished to proceed at this time. on , the patient was taken to the operating room for debridement with pectoralis myocutaneous split-thickness skin graft from his right thigh to his chin. the patient's surgeons consisted of dr. , dr. , and dr. . following the patient's procedure on , the patient's postoperative check showed that he was afebrile with vital signs stable and intact. the patient was alert and oriented times three and in no apparent distress. the patient's breathing was comfortable and unlabored. the patient's dressings immediately postoperatively were intact and dry with zero strike through. the patient's chemistries, including hematocrit and electrolytes, were found to be relatively stable; although there was a deficiency in magnesium and calcium which were repleted at this time. the patient's urine output was excellent. details of the patient's surgery and procedure can be located in the corresponding operative note. the patient did have two - drains; one on either side of the skin flap for drainage. the patient's new postoperative recovery continued uneventfully with no complications or events. the patient remained afebrile with vital signs stable and intact. the patient was in no apparent distress, and he was alert and oriented times three. the patient's mental attitude appeared to be much improved at this time. the patient seemed to be in good spirits. the patient was slowly weaned off his oxygen for his tracheostomy tube. the patient's amount of activity out of bed was increased both secondary to the plastic surgery team's recommendations and the patient's wishes. dressings were left in place until when his bolster dressing was taken down. the skin flap over the area looked good and viable with good coloration and good capillary refill time. the left-sided - drain was removed, but the right-sided - drain was left in place and will be left in place until the patient's follow-up visit with dr. following his discharge. from this time forward, xeroform and bacitracin were to be applied to the patient's split-thickness skin graft. it was noted that there appeared to be good take of this new graft and that there was no openings of fistulas present intraorally. the patient continued his hospital course uneventfully with vital signs stable and intact. the patient was afebrile. he was alert and oriented times three and in no apparent distress. the patient continued to increase his activity level, and his graft continued to show moderate-to-excellent take. it was noted that this was at the point during the patient's previous treatment course that he breakdown of his split-thickness skin graft. therefore, it was planned to have additional examinations of the patient at this time. the patient was also determined to be stable enough for discharge to a rehabilitation facility. the anticipated discharge date (once again) is . discharge disposition: the patient's discharge status was to be a rehabilitation facility pending bed placement. condition at discharge: the patient's condition on discharge was stable/good. discharge diagnoses: osteonecrosis of the right mandible; this was treated with split-thickness skin grafts to the right mandible. medications on discharge: (the patient's discharge medications were as follows) 1. naproxen 500 mg by mouth twice per day. 2. atenolol 100 mg by mouth once per day. 3. verapamil sustained release 100 mg by mouth in the morning. 4. dilantin 100 mg by mouth three times per day. 5. oxazepam 10 mg by mouth three times per day. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was to be discharged to a rehabilitation facility for a period of time to allow for additional healing. 2. the patient was instructed to follow up with dr. following his discharge. 3. the patient was to continue to receive dressing changes per instructions from the plastic surgery team while he is in his rehabilitation facility. 4. the patient was encouraged to continue to increase his activity levels with the hope and desire of returning to a normal preadmission activity and lifestyle. discharge status: the rehabilitation facility at this time has not been determined pending a bed placement. note: an addendum will be made to this report to include any changes in the patient's remaining hospital course. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36
