Her evaluation was notable for hyponatremia to as low as 119 on admission, which is the most likely cause of her seizure. Seizures consisted of episodes of an aura of "strange thoughts" and gustatory sensation, followed by UE tremors w/ fixed gaze, then eyes rolled back. Postictally she had lethargy/confusion. # Seizure: Likely provoked by hyponatremia, although her family history of seizure as well as prior episodes of "strange thoughts" does raise concern for a primary epilepsy. MRI showed no structural cause for seizure. EEG has been normal with no epileptiform discharges. She did not have any further seizures during admission. As this is felt to be a one-time, provoked seizure occurrence, she was not started on anti-epileptic medications. # Hyponatremia: as above, this is felt to be the most likely cause of her seizures. Her urine Na on admission was <20, with initially concentrated urine, suggesting hypovolemia as the cause of her hyponatremia. Her diuretic use as well as extensive time spent outside in the hot weather may explain the hypovolemia. After volume replenishment, her Na corrected to 130 on ___. This was slightly quicker than the recommended correction of 8mEq in 24 hours, so D5W was started to prevent a rapid rise in her sodium. Her sodium afterwards remained stable. Furthermore, her blood pressure was persistently in the low 100s early on in her hospitalization, despite all of her anti-hypertensives being held.

Interstitial lung disease is unchanged. No new abnormalities within the lungs demonstrated. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed No change from CXR done at 04:33 on ___ Radiology showed G-tube projects over a portion of the stomach and may be intraluminal however there is no second view to confirm this. Opacification of the left lung base may represent atelectasis or developing pneumonia Elevation of the right hemidiaphragm with a markedly distended stomach, similar in appearance to ___. Recommend clinical correlation. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) was done. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed In comparison with the study of ___, there again is a huge air-filled structure in the right lower chest consistent with a large hiatal hernia with shift of the mediastinum to the left and associated atelectatic changes at both bases. Again there are extremely low lung volumes. In view of the extensive changes, it would be extremely difficult in the appropriate clinical setting to exclude a superimposed pneumonia, especially in the absence of a lateral view. CHEST (PA AND LAT) showed Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___. Left lower lobe collapse and small left pleural effusion are unchanged, responsible for severe leftward mediastinal shift. Moderate distension of the herniated stomach has improved. Right lung clear.

Radiology showed Successful placement of a 18 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube with its tip in the jejunum. The gastric port should not be used for 24 hours. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) was done. Radiology showed No radiographic evidence of obstruction. CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST showed 1. Small amount of free intraperitoneal air, fluid, and a locule of air in the left rectus muscle, adjacent to the GJ tube, is likely related to recent tube exchange. 2. New left inguinal hernia containing loops of nondilated sigmoid colon. No evidence of surrounding inflammatory change, wall thickening, or obstruction. 3. Persistent bilateral nonhemorrhagic pleural effusions, trace on the right and small on the left. These have slightly decreased since the prior study. 4. Persistent large hiatal hernia containing the gastric fundus and body. Radiology showed 1. No pneumoperitoneum. 2. Mildly dilated small bowel could represent ileus. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___. Moderate to severe distention of the right paramedian portion of the intrathoracic stomach is unchanged, still displacing the right lower lung. However leftward mediastinal shift an with a complete collapse of the left lower lobe have worsened. Upper lungs are grossly clear. No pneumothorax. Small left pleural effusion is likely. Right PIC line ends in the mid SVC. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___.

Had a lap fundo, gastropexy, and G tube placed on ___ that was uncomplicated. However, intermittently had episodes of hypoxia that led to BiPap initiation and admission to the SICU before returning to the floor. Had increasing WBC during her admission with a CT chest revealing LLL and RUL consolidation that was initially covered with vanc/cefepime before being changed to ceftaz per ID recommendations. She subsequently was triggered on the floor for desats requiring a brief period of NRB prompting transfer to the SICU with request for MICU transfer. At the time of transfer, patient had been changed to face tent with improvement of her sats to 98% though with some reports of mild SOB still. Her breathing was noted to improve after her TFs were clamped and drained as well as with adequate pain control.. The patient was given written instructions concerning precautionary instructions and the appropriate follow-up care. All questions were answered prior to discharge.

SURGICAL COURSE =============== Ms. ___ presented to ___ after an episode of apnea in the setting of known large paraesophageal hernia with previous episodes of apnea and planned repair on ___ ___. At ___, she had a CT chest which showed the hiatal hernia, pleural effusions, and moderate pericardial effusion. Her apnea resolved spontaneously, without intervention but previous episodes she has required CPAP. She was transferred to ___ on ___ for interval management and operative planning. Medicine was consulted for risk stratification and medical optimization in light of comorbidities and new pericardial effusion. She was assigned intermediate risk of <5% for cardiac complications, but surgery was not contraindicated. A TTE was performed ___ that found mild mitral valve prolapse, mitral regurgitation, and mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension with a small pericardial effusion and no signs of tamponade physiology, please see report for further details. Cardiology was consulted for pericardial effusion, and after completion of TTE and evaluation of EKGs, recommendations were made to discharge with ___ of Hearts monitor for one month for a possible atrial fibrillation versus sinus rhythm with multiple PACs on an EKG from ___. Also recommended was a one month follow up TTE to evaluate for expected effusion resolution, breast cancer follow up and monitoring, TSH evaluation, and followup with cardiology in 2 months. There was concern for possible malignant effusion. In addition to consulting cardiology and medicine, she was continued to be monitored on telemetry and continuous oxygen saturation monitoring with surveillance labs. She was tolerating soft mechanical regular diet, was ambulating with a walker, and did not have further nausea, vomiting, chest pain, dyspnea, or apnea episodes while planning for an operation. On ___, her WBC 16.7, and she had a repeat pre-operative CXR that found stable pleural effusions (moderate on left, small on right) with a top normal cardiac size and previously known hernia. She was taken to the operating room, and had an exploratory laparoscopy, lysis of adhesions, partial hiatal hernia reduction with plication to the left crus and percutaneous, endoscopically guided gastrostomy tube placement. She tolerated the procedure well, and after her stay in the PACU was transferred to the floor after prolonged fatigue from anesthesia. She was continued on telemetry and oxygenation monitoring. On ___, patient was transferred to the SICU for increased work of breathing and found to have a RUL consolidation with WBC of 24. A CTA was also done to rule out a PE, which was negative, but was concerning for a RUL consolidation. She completed a course of cefatzadime. The patient continued to have hypoxic episodes w/ respiratory distress c/f multiple aspiration events, went back and forth between the medicine floor and ICU for these events. The surgery team saw her and felt that she might need advancement of her G-tube to a G-J tube. MEDICINE COURSE =============== # Hypoxic Respiratory Failure Reported baseline history of tachypnea prior to surgery thought to be potentially related to large hiatal hernia but also has known history of BOOP and restrictive lung disease ___ her prior history of radiation for breast cancer therapy. Had multiple aspiration events, completed a course of ceftaz for possible PNA as above. Was seen by speech and swallow multiple times, was ultimately cleared for just clear liquids for comfort. Patient had worsening respiratory status every time tube feeds were started, prompting discontinuation. Patient complained of difficulty breathing throughout hospitalization w/ interval CXR's demonstrating worsening paraesophageal hernia causing a mediastinal shift to the left. Patient placed on low-dose morphine w/ some improvement in symptoms. # Abdominal pain/distension # Hiatal hernia s/p plication and GJ tube placement: Patient continued to have abdominal pain after the plication procedure. G tube was modified to a GJ to allow for post-pyloric feeds while simultaneously allowing for G tube venting, but did not help symptoms. Tube feeds were attempted 3 times, and even though they were started at very low rates, her pain and abdominal distension would worsen w/in 24 hours of starting. During hospitalization, was noted to have urinary retention, but no pain relief from straight caths PRN, and retention self-resolved after home oxybutynin was d/c'd. Patient was also given aggressive bowel regimen. Despite all interventions, patient continued to suffer from significant pain. Ultimately decided to d/c tube feeds. Continued to leave G tube to vent, morphine as above. Once tube feeds started, patient was placed on TPN; however, given concerns for volume overload as well as overall goals of care, this was stopped prior to discharge. Family wishes to continue ongoing discussions re: TPN at ___ facility. # Malnutriton: Pt with poor PO intake this admission ___ expansion of hernia with PO and resulting respiratory distress as described above. Holding TFs as above, can get clear liquids for comfort per speech and swallow recs. As above, TPN was stopped prior to discharge. # GOC: Patient w/ worsening respiratory and nutritional status despite all interventions over this long hospitalization. Multiple GOC discussions had w/ patient and family, they are aware that further medical interventions are limited and likely not to help. Ultimately decided on transitioning patient to hospice care and comfort measures only. However, patient's family not ready to d/c TPN, they are still discussing this issue amongst themselves. Therefore, the patient was transferred with a ___ line in place in case they opt for TPN moving forward. Patient very lethargic during these meetings, and could not offer much insight into how she would like to be treated. # HTN: Continued home amlodipine # Bipolar disorder: Continued home ___ (level 0.5), olanzapine. # Hypothyroidism: Continued home levothyroxine TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== [ ] patient has been transitioned to ___, hospice care [ ] family still undecided on whether to continue TPN, please continue ongoing ___ discussions, specifically regarding this issue [ ] continue to keep G tube to vent, ok to clamp for 30 minutes if administering meds # Communication/HCP: ___ (daughter, ___)Phone number: ___ Cell phone: ___ # Code: DNR/DNI, confirmed with patient and subsequently HCP</s>

He was re-admitted to the ___ vascular surgery service after recent discharge the previous day after an uncomplicated left common femoral endarterectomy and left femoral to above-knee popliteal bypass with Dacron graft on ___ for continued left lower extremity rest pain and non-healing arterial ulcer. The patient is s/p radical nephrectomy for renal cancer, has CLL with anemia of chronic disease with biweekly injections of procrit. He had been transfused 5 units of packed red blood cells prior to discharge, with hematocrit upon discharge of ~23. He was discharged to a rehabilitation facility in the interim; the facility had drew a CBC without clear reason, with hematocrit noted to be 22. This, in context of the feelings of weakness and fatigue, prompted transfer of the patient back to ___ for further evaluation. # Anemia: The patient presented with a hematocrit of 22 from discharge of 23; he received one unit of packed red blood cells as the patient was symptomatic. Hemolysis labs were not suggestive of hemolysis. His reticulocyte index was 1.8 suggestive of hypoproliferation. Recent nutritional studies including iron and B12 were within normal limits. His stools were hemoccult positive on testing, but this is unclear if a false positive in the setting of iron therapy. There were no signs or symptoms of an occult or frank GIB. Overall, it was favored that the patient's anemia was likely secondary to hypoproduction related to chronic kidney disease among other factors. His symptoms of fatigue are likely multifactorial and not solely related to anemia. He had no active chest pain or other disconcerting signs while hospitalization suggestive of poor tissue oxygenation. He should have a repeat CBC and chemistry panel on ___. If his Hgb is less than 7, chest pain or other concerning symptoms, or evidence of frank blood or dark stools, he should return to ___ for further evaluation. His Hgb on discharge was stable at 8.6. In addition, he should have updated healthcare maintenance including colonoscopy and perhaps EGD to explore if a slow GIB could be contributing factor. He should continue Epo injections as well. The patient has a history of CLL and chronic anemia requiring intermittent blood transfusions while taking Procrit once every two weeks. He received 5 units total of blood during his admission for hematocrits of ___. His procrit was resumed at 24,000 prior to discharge, and increased to 30,000 units per recommendations by his nephrologist; his hemoglobin was improved as above with his last unit of blood transfused on ___. His last procrit injection was on ___, Next ___. # CAD/PVD: The patient has a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia in addition to extensive peripheral vascular disease and was resumed on his statin, beta-blocker and aspirin. He was started on plavix for 30 days for anti-coagulation for his new left lower extremity graft (end date: ___. The patient was otherwise stable from a cardiovascular standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. ASA 325 mg to be continued lifelong. The patient is s/p left femoral endarterectomy and femoral-above knee popliteal bypass with PTFE graft. Throughout his hospitalization, he had good dopplerable signals bilaterally, with a dopperable graft, and was weight-bearing as tolerated on both extremities. # ___ cellulitis: He developed some serous drainage from his incision with mild erythema, for which he was placed on bactrim in his previous admission, which was continued early in his re-admission course, then switched to IV vancomycin for a recommended one week course through ___. He also had a ? surgical site infection at his graft site for which he was given initially bactrim and changed to vancomycin. His vancomycin level was drawn at the incorrect dose but the level is suggestive that with another dose that his level will be correct. He will receive two more doses as noted ___ and ___. His wound appearance has improved as documented in the physical exam section. # Hypertension: It was noted during his hospital to be hypertensive. He is already on valsartan 320 mg daily in addition to nifedipine 60 mg daily. In addition, he is on carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily. We did not uptitrate carvedilol given HR 50-60's most of the time. Nifedipine CR was increased to 90 mg daily. Change might be needed based on BP readings. Hydrochlorothiazide was initially held given the increase in Cr however this was restarted in the last 2 days of his hospital stay. # CKD, Stage 4: The patient has a history of renal insufficiency s/p left radical nephrectomy, CLL with subsequent anemia of chronic disease. The patient is also reliant on torsemide daily for renal insufficiency; this was held in his previous admission in light of a rising creatinine from his baseline of 3 to 3.7 at its peak and was 3.6 prior to discharge, and was held again during his current admission for similar reasons. Routine electrolytes were followed, and his urine output remained marginal ~25cc/hr in the absence of diuretics. Intake and output were closely monitored. At discharge, he will continue his home diuretics and regimen. His labs are stable with no acute indications for dialysis. Of note, at this creatinine level, his fluctuation is likely trivial given that eGFR remains the same. He will follow-up with nephrology as scheduled for continued planning for hemodialysis initiation. # Diabetes type 2 complicated by neuropathy and nephropathy: The patient has history of diabetes, with blood glucose levels between 104-400 within his previous hospitalization. He was restarted on his home dose of NPH in addition to an adjusted insulin sliding scale. Due to hypoglycemia, his NPH was decreased to 12 units with SSI. # Fall: ___ ~ 4:30 pm patient had a fall in the bathroom which seems mechanical per patient's description. He hit the posterior portion of his skull. He denied palpitations, chest pain, light-headedness, syncope or any other symptoms. He was able to get up afterwards without any issue.

Unstable fracture of the C1 arch and fractures of the C2 vertebral body with extension to the bilateral transverse foramina as noted on the prior dedicated cervical spine CT examination. There is probably moderate central canal at C1 level. There is mild narrowing of the left vertebral artery secondary to the left transverse foramen fracture fragment, though there is no evidence of underlying vascular injury. 2. Bilateral scalp hematomas, as previously described, without underlying calvarial fracture. 3. No intracranial hemorrhage or large acute territorial infarct. 4. Patent intracranial vasculature without significant stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. 5. Otherwise patent cervical vasculature without significant stenosis, occlusion, or dissection. 6. Scattered peribronchovascular ___ nodularity, nonspecific, which may reflect infectious or inflammatory etiology. 7. Few small thyroid nodules, should be benign. Suggestion of exophytic 1.0 cm thyroid nodule, versus less likely parathyroid adenoma, clinically correlate.

The left lower lobe opacity interpreted as round atelectasis or scarring is not as well identified as on the CT. As recommended on that study, dedicated nonemergent CT is recommended within 3 months to evaluate stability or resolution. CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD showed 1. No intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. 2. Moderate bilateral posterior scalp hematomas with a laceration and small amount of subcutaneous emphysema on the left. No definite underlying calvarial fracture. 3. Right arch of C1 appears to be fractured, which will be specifically evaluated on the dedicated cervical spine CT from the same day. This is unstable. 4. Probable sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. 5. Cortical atrophy. CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST Q311 CT SPINE showed 1. Unstable C1 fracture of the right C1 ring.

Patient originally presented 2 days prior, and at that point his symptoms included back pain that was midline around the lumbar region radiating to both sides and not associated with any neurological symptoms and no concern for acute spinal cord syndrome. Patient had a CT abdomen pelvis at the time to rule out any other abdominal causes of his pain, which was significant only for known polycystic kidney disease and constipation. He was given an enema and laxative and had a bowel movement, which relieved his symptoms. He was discharged home. He then developed more left-sided flank pain. The pain is sharp, exacerbated by breathing, exacerbated by moving around, not associated with any numbness, weakness, numbness, tingling, changes in urination. Is localized to the left flank.

ACUTE ISSUES ============= #Flank pain: Mr. ___ presented with multiple day history of L-sided abdominal pain, worse with inspiration, that was intermittent and "sharp" in nature. He also had chronic constipation, and developed nausea/vomiting while hospitalized. Underwent a CT on ___ which showed a 1cm increase in R kidney size and 3mm increase in L kidney size, however no acute findings to explain his symptoms. Admission renal ultrasound was without hydronephrosis or obstructing stone. He developed vomiting on ___, and as such had a repeat CT A/P that did not demonstrate bowel obstruction. Overall, his symptoms seemed most likely related to dysmotility (given chronic constipation and h/o polycystic kidney disease), recurrent pain from cyst burden iso PKD (pain worsened with increase intraabdominal pressure), and potentially a musculoskeletal etiology given worsened pain with palpation of the paraspinal muscles. Was thought to be less likely to represent intermittent SBO (given no e/o obstruction on repeat CT A/P), ruptured renal cyst (no free fluid on renal ultrasound), or nephrolithiasis (no hematuria and no e/o on CT A/P or renal US). Given concern for gastroparesis, we trialed Metopclopramide 10mg TIDWM, which reduced his abdominal pain. We aggressively and successfully treated his constipation during his hospitalization. # Polycystic kidney disease and # CKD: As above, appears to have stable disease. Creatinine has slowly increased over time, consistent with CKD. We continued his home Sodium Bicarbonate, Sevelamer, Calcitriol, and Torsemide. CHRONIC ISSUES =============== # BPH s/p TURP: Continued home Finasteride and Torsemide # COPD: Continued home albuterol, advair, and supplemental O2 (goal SO2 88-92%) # HLD: Continued home atorvastatin # Gout: Continued home allopurinol # HTN: Continued verapimil TRANSITIONAL ISSUES ==================== [ ] Consider restarting home Verapamil after PCP follow up if needed for HTN management [ ] We are working on scheduling an appointment with Dr. ___. Please call your PCP's office if you have not heard back by ___. You should be seen within 1 week.

He was sitting, and reached below his seat to pick something up when he felt a severe sharp pain in his right shoulder. He became dizzy and sweaty, felt like he was going to pass out, so he put his head between his legs. The next thing he remembers he woke up, and felt slightly disoriented. Per his wife, he was out for ___ secs. He lost bladder function but had no witnessed shaking or tongue biting, and no loss of his bowels. He denies any preceeding CP, palpitations, SOB, cough, N/V. He had been sitting in the shade, had one beer. Has had good PO intake. Hasn't passed out since he was a child. Regarding the shoulder pain, it was located over the anterior shoulder is a discreet spot, he did not have any pain over the chest. . In the ED initial vitals were 96.8, 96, 137/77, 18, 100% on 2L. ECG showed sinus tachycardia with isolated TWI in lead III and J-point elevation in V2-V4. He was given 325mg and 2L NS. Labs unremarkable, trop neg. CXR unremarkable. VS prior to transfer were 98.0, 92, 121/77, 16, 100%RA. . Currently, he is comfortable and has no complaints. He has had no further shoulder pain. . ROS: As noted in HPI. In addition, denies fevers, chills, headaches, vision changes, cough, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, melena, hematochezia, dysuria, or hematuria. Radiology showed No acute chest abnormality. The patient was diagnosed with SYNCOPE AND COLLAPSE, ABNORM ELECTROCARDIOGRAM. At the time of discharge, the patient had Primary Diagnosis: 1. Neurocardiogenic (vasovagal) syncope . Secondary Diagnoses: None. The patient was given written instructions concerning precautionary instructions and the appropriate follow-up care. All questions were answered prior to discharge. The patient expressed readiness for discharge. [/INST] </s><s>IMPRESSION: ___ with no significant past medical history who presented following a syncopal episode at a baseball game. PLAN: # SYNCOPE - The patient leaned down and reached with his right arm under his chair and turned his neck inciting sharp pain without radiation of the right arm while at a baseball game. Following sitting up he experienced lightheadedness and dizziness with resulting syncope for ___ sec of LOC following that. No head trauma or injury. Wife confirms his story. Some mild bladder incontinence, but this can be seen with neurocardiogenic syncope. Certainly seizure episode is of concern given the bladder incontinence, but patient has no strong family history and no prior seizure episodes. Similarly, laboratory data reveal no metabolic derangements. He also had no post-ictal concerns, no paralysis and no tongue biting. A TIA or stroke is of slight concern in a male with a family history of cardiac disease, obesity and some hyperglycemia on laboratory data (without HTN, HLD, diabetes history). He has no focal neurologic deficits or weakness and no carotid bruit on exam. A posterior circulation TIA could present with a drop attack and these symptoms, but again less likely. In terms of cardiac etiologies, his EKG was reassuring with an isolated TWI in lead III and sinus tachycardia with mild J-point elevation. He does have family history of MI in his father, but again no documented HTN, HLD, or diabetes is noted. Cardiac biomarkers reassuring in the ED (two-sets) and no chest pain or trouble breathing. CXR was also negative in the ED. He had no arrhythmia documented on overnight telemetry and has no family history of sudden cardiac death or early MI. Hypoglycemia unlikely in this patient. Overall, this leaves a vasovagal episode (neurocardiogenic) occurring in the setting of sharp and precipitous pain in the right shoulder that resulted in hypoperfusion, inciting syncope. He has had no issues similar to this previously. Of interest, prior to discharge, his peripheral IV was removed and he developed sinus bradycardia to 30 bpm with mild hypotension and lightheadedness that rapidly improved, consistent with neurocardiogenic syncope. An EKG was reassuring. He was monitored on telemetry through the afternoon and was discharged in stable condition. # RIGHT SHOULDER PAIN - Currently pain free, with complete ROM of shoulder. No history of trauma. Unclear precipitant though may have been a muscle strain or outpatient brachial plexus impingement or transient 'stinger'. No RUQ pain to suggest GB pathology. We encouraged range of motion exercises and possibly outpatient physical therapy evaluation # HYPERGLYCEMIA - No prior history of diabetes or strong family history. No HTN, HLD reported. Patient has evidence of obesity. He presented with elevated serum glucose and glucosuria. Will need outpatient fingerstick rechecked and HbA1c, blood pressure monitoring and fasting lipid panel as an outpatient.</s>

ACTIVE ISSUES ====================================== #Cough/Fever #?Pneumonia He presented with several days of cough with reported history of T ___ at home, though with no recorded fevers upon presentation. His CXR showed multifocal opacities with no lobar consolidation that may represent progression of chronic interstitial disease as compared to prior radiograph from ___. However, given his age, poor lung volumes on film, and history, we could not rule out community acquired pneumonia and he was started on IV ceftriaxone and azithromycin. He also received ipratropium/albuterol duonebs as needed. A sputum culture was sent after starting antibiotics, but this was contaminated. His oxygen requirement initially ranged from 90 - 97% on 1L NC; later, he was 92-94% on room air. He was not symptomatic, and was more interactive/responsive on day of discharge. He was transitioned to PO cefpodoxime/azithro to complete a course for CAP. #CKD His creatine was 2.2 on admission from baseline 1.7 - 1.9, but eventually trended down to 1.8 on HD #2 and HD#3. #Swallowing: Nursing expressed concern about his aspiration risk, and speech and language pathology evaluated patient. They recommend continuing a thin liquid and regular solid diet, with meds crushed in applesauce. They believed patient requires assistance with all meals with standard aspiration precautions (sitting upright, 1:1 assistance with meals). Patient's wife was educated on monitoring for swallowing difficulty. #Elevated troponins: Troponin 0.3 on admission with EKG stable compared to prior. Repeat troponins were stable at 0.2. We thought troponins likely elevated in setting of possible mild demand ischemia in the setting of infection with poor clearance of troponin in th setting of CKD. The patient has follow up scheduled with his cardiologist.

She was treated for community-acquired pneumonia with levofloxacin and ceftriaxone, eventually narrowed to a five day course of levofloxacin. Her asthma exacerbtaion was treated with 5 day course of prednisone 40 mg daily and nebulizers. Patient was able to wean off oxygen by discharge. Flu vaccine and pneumovax were administered prior to discharge. # Hyponatremia: presented to an outside hospital with Na 106 and initially improved to 113 after NS boluses as she appeared significantly hypovolemic on exam. Urine lytes obtained and was most consistent with a ___ picture with elevated sodium and urine osmolality. In addition, patient had a very limited diet suggesting nutritional causes from a 'tea and toast' diet. Patient was then placed on fluid restrition and sodium improved to 128 on discharge. Patient had no change in mental status throughout her hospitalization, thus pointing more to a chronic rather than acute process. She has been instructed to observe a 2 liter fluid restriction at home and to opitimize her nutrition through 3 meals per day and Ensure supplementation.

She was placed on the phenobarbital protocol for withdrawal, weaned until the time of discharge, when she did not have symptoms of withdrawal. Social work consult was obtained, and patient expressed the desire to stop drinking after this hospitalization. She will be going to live with her parents initially after discharge. # Elevated troponins: troponin 1.07 without any ECG changes. No previous cardiac history, but has risk factors including smoking, polycystic kidney disease, and hypertension. Differential included NSTEMI vs. demand ischemia secondary to tachycardia and metabolic derangements. Patient had no cardiac symptoms. Per cardiology, they stated to start aspirin and beta blocker, as well as lisinopril upon discharge, and she will likely need a cardiac catheterization on discharge. She will follow up with Cardiology a month after discharge. TTE was obtained and showed cardiomyopathy with EF 30%, suggestive of possible alcoholic cardiomyopathy. She was told of this diagnosis and that she should cease drinking alcohol. She will get a follow-up TTE at her Cardiology appointment. # s/p fall: large ecchymosis post fall. Appears to be vasovagal as patient felt lightheaded prior to episode. No loss of consciousness reported. In the ED, CT head and torso and abdomen negative for acute lesion or bleeding. Pain was treated with acetaminophen and tramadol. Social work consult was obtained to determine if there was any abuse, which the patient denied. # Elevated liver function tests: per CT abdomen, the liver is diffusely hypoechoic attenuating consistent with hepatic steatosis which is consistent with her history of alcohol use. AST was not greater than ALT as would we expect with alcohol use. Hepatitis panel was negative in ___, and was repeated on this admission and also negative. Possibly also secondary to hypovolemia leading to decreased perfusion vs. hepatitis. LFTs downtrended over her hospitalization.

The patient shares that this morning she was in her usual state of health, and noticed she had the urge to stool, which is unusual for her because she is chronically constipated. She went to the bathroom and had a large "black tarry loose stool" with some red blood. At first she ignored it, but it happened again, and this caused her to come to the ED. In the ED, initial vitals were: 97.8 86 149/86 18 100. Exam notable for diffuse abdominal tenderness. Labs notable for H/H 9.6/30, Na 127->132, K 6.3-> 4 with no intervention, Cr 0.8 (baseline). Lactate 3.1 -> 1.7 with 1L NS. She had a CTA AP that was unrevealing for source of bleed. She was given 1L NS and Tylenol for pain. While in the ED she had at least 2 additional melanotic stools. On the floor, patient gives the above history. She does not have any lightheadness, chest pain, or dyspnea. She has not taken any NSAIDs recently and is not on a blood thinner or aspirin. She shares that she has had multiple episodes of diverticular bleeds in the past, but they have all been bright red blood, and she has never had black stools before. CTA ABD AND PELVIS showed 1. No active GI bleeding. Significant diverticular disease without diverticulitis. 2. Status post partial colectomy, no obstruction. 3. Mildly prominent pancreatic duct, stable since ___, stability suggestive of benignity such as sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. 4. Prominent left pelvic veins can be seen with pelvic congestion syndrome. DX CHEST PORTABLE PICC LINE PLACEMENT showed Since the prior radiograph of ___, a right PICC has been placed, terminating at the expected level of the confluence of the brachiocephalic veins. Cardiomediastinal contours are within normal limits. Lungs are grossly clear except for focal pleural and parenchymal scarring at the right base peripherally. Rounded contour adjacent the left hemidiaphragm is likely due to focal eventration, more fully evaluated on the prior CT of ___. Portable chest radiograph showed 1. Right PICC tip in proximal SVC, similar to the prior exam. 2. Trace right pleural effusion versus pleural thickening. 3. Apparent new nodular opacity in left upper lung is potentially due to a structure external to the patient. Repeat radiograph following removal or repositioning of external devices may be helpful in this regard. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. requesting a wet read by ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 1:10 AM, 1 minutes after discovery of the findings.
