Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Chest radiograph INDICATION: ___ with persistent SOB, cough// Please evaluate for pneumonia or effusion TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Enlargement of the left hilus and combination of atelectasis and consolidation in the left upper lobe raise concern for bronchial obstruction and secondary infection. Right lung is clear. Heart size is normal. There is no appreciable pleural effusion, but the left major fissure appears thickened on the lateral view. IMPRESSION: Possible obstructing left hilar mass should be evaluated with contrast-enhanced chest CT. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 8:33 am, 2 minutes after discovery of the findings.

Please pan scan (and eval for PE while at it as he is tachycardic and hypoxic) TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast in the arterial phase. Then, imaging was obtained through the abdomen and pelvis in the portal venous phase. Reformatted coronal and sagittal images through the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and oblique maximal intensity projection images of the chest were submitted to PACS and reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 2.3 s, 30.9 cm; CTDIvol = 14.2 mGy (Body) DLP = 438.4 mGy-cm. 2) Spiral Acquisition 3.8 s, 49.7 cm; CTDIvol = 16.5 mGy (Body) DLP = 821.1 mGy-cm. 3) Stationary Acquisition 0.6 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 3.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 1.7 mGy-cm. 4) Stationary Acquisition 5.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 27.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 13.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 1,275 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Chest x-ray of ___. FINDINGS: CHEST: HEART AND VASCULATURE: Pulmonary vasculature is well opacified to the subsegmental level without filling defect to indicate a pulmonary embolus. The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of dissection or intramural hematoma. There is no pericardial effusion. Aortic arch calcifications are mild. AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: There is mediastinal invasion from the left hilar and pulmonary parenchymal mass, which will be described below. Left para-aortic heterogeneous lymph node conglomeration measures approximately 4.0 x 1.3 cm (301:29). An upper right paratracheal lymph node measures 2.5 x 1.7 cm (301:35) an enlarged subcarinal node measures 1.7 x 2.4 cm (301:49). PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Opacification mass lesion along the left major fissure, predominantly involving the left hilus, is difficult to measure accurately, but spans approximately 6.7 x 4.0 cm (AP by TRV) (301:46), with an associated nodular component in the apical left upper lobe (301:26), measuring 2.9 x 2.1 cm. There is associated left major fissural thickening and nodularity (602:57). There is associated encasement of the left main pulmonary artery, as well as the left lingular, lower lobar, and upper lobar pulmonary arteries. The mass extends into the left and superior aspect of the mediastinum. There is associated narrowing of the left upper lobe bronchus (301:46). BASE OF NECK: Subcentimeter left thyroid hypodensity is nonspecific, likely a small nodule, but does not meet size criteria for thyroid ultrasound. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: The liver is diffusely hypoattenuating, suggesting hepatic steatosis. A subcentimeter hypodensity in segment VIII is incompletely characterized, but likely a biliary hamartoma or hepatic cyst. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits. PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: The spleen is enlarged, measuring 13.7 cm. ADRENALS: The right adrenal gland is unremarkable. The left adrenal gland is thickened, without definite nodularity. URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram. A 4.9 x 3.3 cm left lower renal cyst is partially exophytic. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement throughout. There is partial cecal thickening with a 3.5 x 3.2 cm hypodense mass involving the appendix (607:26, 304:59). There is no adjacent fat stranding. There appear to be 2 tablets adjacent to the mass (304:53, 54). No evidence of bowel obstruction. There is no free peritoneal air or fluid. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The prostate is enlarged. LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Extensive atherosclerotic disease is noted. BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. Note is made of hyperdense mesh material along the anterior abdominal wall, likely due to prior hernia repair. IMPRESSION: 1. Ill-defined left hilar mass with associated nodularity and opacification along the left major fissure and extension into the superolateral left aspect of the mediastinum. Mass encases the left main pulmonary artery, as well as the left lingular, lower lobar, and upper lobar pulmonary arteries. 2. Notably, the mass also causes significant narrowing of the left upper lobar bronchus (see series 301, image 46). 3. Associated enlarged left para-aortic, right upper paratracheal, and subcarinal mediastinal lymph nodes. 4. Incidentally noted 3.5 x 3.2 cm hypodense mass involving the appendix, without adjacent fat stranding (see series 304, image 59). This is worrisome for a separate neoplasm.

CT Chest ___: FINDINGS: The patient had a right upper lobe lobectomy, chemo and radiation therapy for primary lung malignancy. There is an evolving mass at the right apex consistent with local recurrence measuring 6 x 5.2 cm in axial plane and 3.6 cm in coronal, previously on the neck CT of ___, 3.6 x 3.7 x 3.7 cm. The lesion invades the adjacent posterior first, second, third ribs. There is also periosteal reaction of the posterior fourth rib. Vertebral bodies of T1 and T2 are also involved with destruction of the posterior wall of the vertebra. This exam is not tailored to assess involvement of the central canal. The lesion involves the right foramen of T1-T2, T2-T3. There is extension of the tumor above the chest wall at the apex, series 5, image 22. There is no cleavage plane with the adjacent esophagus and the subclavian artery lies just anterior to the mass, remaining patent. 4-mm right lower lobe nodule, series 5, image 151, is indeterminate and will have to be followed up. A few bronchiolar nodules and opacities in left lower lobe are probably due to aspiration. MEDIASTINUM: Thyroid is unremarkable. There is a 9-mm right lower paraesophageal lymph node and a few subcentimeter right hilar lymph nodes of indeterminate significance. There is no pleural effusion. A trace of pericardial effusion is seen. UPPER ABDOMEN: This study is not tailored for assessment for intra-abdominal organs. The adrenal glands are normal. CONCLUSION: 1. Patient was treated with right upper lobe lobectomy, radiation and chemotherapy for primary lung malignancy. An enlarging right apical mass since neck CT of ___ is consistent with local recurrence. This mass invades the adjacent ribs and thoracic spine. There is destruction of the posterior wall of T1 and T2. This exam is not tailored to assess the central canal, so if the patient has any neurologic symptoms, a dedicated MRI can be done. 2. Minimal bronchiolar opacities in left lower lobe are consistent with aspiration. 3. Indeterminate right lower lobe 4-mm nodule. EEG ___: FINDINGS: ABNORMALITY #1 : Throughout the recording, there were very frequent bursts of ___ Hz slowing usually with a generalized distribution but with some rightsided emphasis. BACKGROUND: Included a well-formed 9.5 Hz alpha frequency rhythm posteriorly, early in the record during wakefulness. HYPERVENTILATION: Could not be performed. INTERMITTENT PHOTIC STIMULATION: Could not be performed. SLEEP: The patient progressed from wakefulness to sleep with no additional findings beyond the slowing. CARDIAC MONITOR: Showed a generally regular rhythm. IMPRESSION: Abnormal portable EEG due to frequent bursts of theta and delta slowing, usually with a generalized distribution but with some rightsided emphasis. These findings suggest a dysfunction and midline structures, but this is non-specific with regard to etiology. The background rhythm was normal at times, and there were no epileptiform features. INTERPRETED BY: ___. MRI brain ___: FINDINGS: The image quality is moderately motion degraded. Within the confines of the study: There are large areas of FLAIR-bright, DWI-bright and ADC-isointense signal abnormality involving the bilateral cerebella and the occipital lobes, compatible with acute-to-subacute infarctions. There are punctate foci of DWI-bright signal in the right insula and the left parietal lobe (image 6:19 and 6:20), representing scattered focal embolic infarcts. There are superimposed confluent periventricular and scattered subcortical white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintensities, compatible with chronic microvascular ischemic disease. There is no evidence of acute hemorrhage. Multifocal small supratentorial susceptibility artifacts represent old microhemorrhages. The ventricles and sulci are prominent, representing age-related global atrophy. There is no shift of normally midline structures. There is no abnormal post-contrast enhancement. There is mild mucosal thickening in the visualized paranasal sinuses. There is a large mucus retention cyst with near-complete opacification of the right maxillary sinus. The left lens is surgically absent. IMPRESSION: 1. Acute-to-subacute infarctions involving the bilateral occipital lobes and the bilateral cerebellum. No evidence of acute hemorrhagic conversion. 2. Unchanged scattered supratentorial foci of old microhemorrhages. 3. No abnormal post-contrast or evidence of a mass lesion. 4. Significant global atrophy with mild-to-moderate chronic microvascular ischemic disease. 5. Right maxillary sinus disease. CTA head/neck w/ w/o contrast ___: FINDINGS: HEAD CT: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect, or infarction. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. No fracture is identified. HEAD AND NECK CTA: There is significant atherosclerotic calcification in the aorta and bilateral subclavian arteries. The right vertebral artery is not visualized proximally and is completely occluded, likely due to the adjacent lung mass. The right vertebral artery reappears distally, reconstituted by collateral vessels. The left vertebral artery arises from the aorta, with significant atherosclerotic disease at its origin. The left vertebral artery remainS patent throughout its course, without evidence of occlusion, dissection, or aneurysm. The basilar artery is patent and normal in appearance. The carotid arteries and their major branches are patent with no evidence of stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysm. There is a fetal type left PCA which arises from the left carotid artery. The right lung apex demonstrates changes consistent with known right lung mass. Associated with the lung mass, there is erosion of the T1 and T2 vertebral bodies and erosion of the ribs, which are better described on recent chest CT. IMPRESSION: 1. Occluded proximal right vertebral artery, likely due to adjacent known lung mass, with distal reconstitution by collateral vessels. 2. Patent left vertebral artery, bilateral carotid arteries, and intracranial vessels. 2. Right lung mass with associated erosion of the T1 and T2 vertebral bodies and ribs, better characterized on recent chest CT. MR ___ ___: FINDINGS: There is a mass in the right lung apex which extends from C7-T1 to T4 level in the paraspinal region. There are signal changes predominantly affecting the T1 and T2 vertebrae on the right side, but also minimally involving the T3 and T4 vertebral bodies on the right side. There is extension of the mass to the right C7-T1, T1-T2 and T2-T3 as well as T3-T4 intervertebral foramina predominantly at T1-T2 and T2-3 levels. There is mild epidural soft tissue extension to the right side of the thecal sac with minimal indentation on the thecal sac without cord compression. There appears to be involvement of the right transverse process of the T1 and of the first rib which can be further assessed with the chest CT. There is no abnormal signal within the spinal cord. There are no other focal abnormalities within the vertebral bodies. Within the thoracic vertebral bodies except for increased T1 and T2 signal in the upper thoracic region from T3-T5 level which could be related to prior radiation. An incidental hemangioma is seen in T12 vertebral body. There is diffuse ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament. This could be related to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Mild multilevel degenerative changes are seen without high-grade spinal stenosis. IMPRESSION: Right upper lung mass with secondary bony infiltration of the right side of T1-T4 vertebral bodies, more predominantly involving the T1 and T2 vertebrae. Extension into the right neural foramina from C7-T1 to T3-T4, level more predominantly at T1-T2 and T2-T3 level with mild epidural soft tissue extension to the spinal canal but no evidence of compression of the spinal cord.

[ ] DIURESIS - home furosemide was discontinued upon discharge given apparent euvolemia and hypotension, please reassess need to resume BRIEF HOSPITAL COURSE ===================== Ms. ___ is a ___ year old woman with history of IV drug use complicated by recurrent cervical epidural abscess (___) treated with C7-T2 spinal fusion (___), complicated by C5 paraplegia, submassive pulmonary embolism with IVC filter, and bipolar disorder who presented with septic shock due to superinfected sacral ulcer / osteomyelitis. Her hospital course was notable for surgical debridement (___) and hypotension in the setting of a declining hemoglobin. Patient elected to leave against the recommendation of her medical team after capacity assessment by her primary team and psychiatry (___). ACTIVE ISSUES ============= # Necrotic sacral decubitus ulcer # Osteomyelitis # UTI Ms. ___ presented in septic shock requiring admission to ICU and administration of pressors. CTAP (___) demonstrated extensive sacral wound with possible osteomyelitis. She underwent surgical debridement and was empirically started on vancomycin-cefepime. Site cultures grew pan-sensitive proteus mirabilis. Blood cultures were NGTD at the time of discharge. She was recommended for prolonged IV abx course, however, patient elected to leave against medical advice and could not be safely discharged with a PICC. Upon discharge, she was narrowed to ciprofloxacin/flagyl to complete two week course (___) for overlying skin and soft tissue infection. Patient was recommended for wet-to-dry surgical site dressing by ___ team for surgical site after discharge # Anemia # Hypotension During her hospitalization, she had an acute drop in her hemoglobin (11.0 on ___ to 6.5 on ___ with hemodynamic instability including episodes of hypotension to 70/40, concerning for hemorrhagic shock due to surgical site blood loss, though patient had no obvious overt bleeding. Ms. ___ declined blood transfusion due to beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK Q16 CT NECK INDICATION: ___ man with altered mental status, evaluate for stroke. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Subsequently, helically acquired rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the infusion of 70 mL of Omnipaque intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 6.4 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 56.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 897.1 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 6.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 65.3 mGy (Head) DLP = 32.7 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 5.2 s, 41.1 cm; CTDIvol = 31.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,312.1 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 2,242 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: Hypodensity in the right occipital lobe, is consistent with an evolving infarct. There is no evidence of hemorrhage. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is unchanged in keeping with age related involutional changes. There is no mass or shift of normally midline structures. The scattered periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are nonspecific but likely sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is enlargement of the sella turcica with thin bone at the sellar floor, partially evaluated in this exam, and apparently apparently protruding anteriorly as demonstrated on the image 31, series 603b, correlation with MRI of the sella turcica and pituitary gland is recommended for further characterization. The paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, middle ear cavities are clear. The orbits are grossly unremarkable. CTA HEAD: There is mild multifocal atherosclerotic plaque along the cavernous and paraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally without appreciable luminal narrowing. Moderate focal narrowing of the mid basilar artery is likely related to atherosclerotic disease. There is also moderate to severe focal narrowing of the distal left posterior communicating artery and proximal left posterior cerebral artery, in a fetal PCA configuration (series 5, image 274). Fetal origin of the right posterior cerebral artery is also noted with high-grade focal narrowing or cutoff of the proximal right P2 segment (series 5, image 271). There are two areas of moderate to severe focal narrowing along the course of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery best appreciated on the volume rendered images (series 565, image 9). The vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches otherwise appear normal without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. The dural venous sinuses are patent. CTA NECK: The carotid and vertebral arteries and their major branches appear normal with no evidence of stenosis or occlusion. There is no evidence of internal carotid stenosis by NASCET criteria. OTHER: The visualized portion of the lungs are clear. Bilateral subcentimeter thyroid nodules do not require follow-up as per current ___ College of Radiology guidelines. There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. IMPRESSION: 1. Evolving right PCA territory infarct. 2. High-grade focal narrowing or cutoff of the P2 segment of the right posterior cerebral artery. Multifocal moderate to high-grade stenosis of the left posterior communicating/posterior cerebral arteries in a fetal configuration. 3. Moderate focal narrowing of the mid basilar artery. 4. Unremarkable neck CTA without evidence of occlusion, stenosis, or dissection. 5. Enlarged sella turcica, partially evaluated in this exam, the possibility of underlying sellar adenoma is a consideration, correlation with dedicated MRI of the sella turcica is recommended as clinically warranted. RECOMMENDATION(S): Prominent sella turcica, partially evaluated in this exam, if clinically warranted correlation with MRI of the sella turcica is recommended. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD. INDICATION: ___ year old man with right occipital hypodensity seen on CT head// please further assess right occipital hypodensity seen on CT head. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After administration of 9 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. COMPARISON: Noncontrast CT of the head from ___. CTA of the head and neck from ___. FINDINGS: Areas of slow diffusion in the right parietal, occipital, and inferior temporal lobes are consistent with infarct (06:15, 06:12, 06:11) with corresponding areas of abnormal high signal on FLAIR. Gyriform high signal on T1 weighted images and hyperenhancement postcontrast administration in these regions suggest laminar necrosis. Another area of slowed diffusion in the left occipital lobe with corresponding FLAIR high signal, ex vacuo dilatation of the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle, and susceptibility on gradient echo are suggestive of a more chronic infarct with petechial hemorrhage or residual hemorrhagic blood products (6:9, 11:11, 13:12). Additional scattered punctate foci of susceptibility are seen on gradient echo sequence since in the left cerebellum (10:4), posterior left frontal lobe (10:18), right frontal lobe (10:21), bilateral parietal, and bilateral occipital lobes (10:12, 10:8). In the posterior parasagittal left frontal lobe near the vertex, an oval region of hyperintense signal on T2 weighted sequences (image 21, series 12), does not restrict diffusion and follows CSF signal on all sequences without hyperenhancement postcontrast, which measures 2.6 x 1.8 cm, likely consistent with a prominent subarachnoid space. Asymmetric prominence of the left sella turcica measures approximately 1.1 x 0.7 cm with hyperintense signal on FLAIR and T2 and no central enhancement with slight mass effect on the surrounding structures. Scattered background hyperintense signal abnormalities on FLAIR are present in a periventricular distribution are nonspecific but likely represent small vessel ischemic changes. The ventricles and sulci are prominent consistent with involutional changes. The basal cisterns are patent. The paranasal sinuses are clear. The orbits are unremarkable. No osseous abnormality is appreciated. IMPRESSION: 1. Right PCA territory subacute infarct with corresponding high FLAIR signal and gyriform signal abnormalities suggestive of laminar necrosis. 2. Subacute/chronic left occipital infarct with chronic petechial hemorrhage. 3. Scattered diffuse peripheral hemorrhagic foci involving all lobes and the left cerebellum may suggest amyloid deposits. 4. 1.1 cm asymmetric prominence of the left sella turcica suggests a pituitary adenoma. Dedicated pituitary MRI is recommended for further characterization. 5. Mild global atrophy and nonspecific scattered white mattered changes which likely represent chronic microvascular ischemic changes. RECOMMENDATION(S): If clinically warranted dedicated pituitary MRI is advised.

HOSPITAL COURSE: Mr. ___ is an ___ year old gentleman with PMH of CAD, HTN, DM, and prior hx of strokes who presented with loss-of-consciousness and 6 weeks of visual problems consistent with L homonymous hemianopsia. On imaging, his MRI showed an old PCA stroke with superimposed acute stroke in a similar area, likely explaining his symptoms. He also had a diminutive right PCA with a P2-cutoff. A work up of the etiology behind his stroke was conducted. His labs showed an LDL of 46, A1C of 5, and a TSH of 1.6. A TEE echo showed no thrombus or atrial septal defect, with normal left ventricular systolic function further ruling out an cardio-embolic etiology behind his stroke. An occult malignancy work up was then conducted to look for a hyper-coagulable state with a CT torso which showed a 2.0 cm right renal mass concerning for renal cell carcinoma. The renal mass is concerning for a renal cell carcinoma causing a hyper-coagulable state, which could possibly be the cause of his likely cardio-embolic strokes. Additionally, with further review of his MRI, there are several microhemorrhages intracranially concerning for CAA that may have precipitated these recent, multiple strokes. In terms of his plan, given his renal mass concerning for renal cell carcinoma, we were worried about the oncologic process causing both a hyper- coagulable state and increased risk of bleed due to the tendency of RCC to hemorrhage. In addition, his possible CAA further increases his risk of bleeding. As a result, anticoagulation was considered but ultimately we did not prescribe (apixaban or warfarin, for example) due to his increased risk of bleeding. Instead, Mr. ___ was prescribed aspirin and Plavix for secondary stroke prevention. He should follow-up with urology to further-work-up the renal mass as an outpatient and be followed for an oncologic work-up and plan. Hospital course above written in collaboration with ___. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES 1. Dual-anti-platelet therapy for 3 months, then consider switching back to monotherapy after neurology follow-up. 2. Follow-up with urology re: workup of right renal mass.

Ms. ___ is a ___ F with h/o asthma, PCOS, HTN, G6PD, and PTSD presenting with syncope c/b head trauma, c/f cardiac etiology, also found to have ___, hypokalemia and prolonged QTc. #SYNCOPE: Morning of presentation, awoke around 3AM, urinated, washed hands, and upon exiting the bathroom, fell. No prodrome, no seizures. Reportedly down for 15 min and confused for about 20 min afterwards. When she awoke she was diaphoretic with a headache. She had no dinner. She had been taking her outpatient medicines including ___, daily. She hit her R forehead. Notably, she had an episode of syncope 10 days prior while driving that lasted for seconds. She has also had other episodes of syncope, one of which was documented in the medical record from ___ - ___ orthostatic hypotension. She also reports a more extensive family history of arrhythmia (sister), cardiomyopathy (brother) and syncope (brother) than previously noted. Admission also notable for hypokalemia and ___ which could either be consistent with an orthostatic syncope ___ hypovolemia in the setting of chlorthalidone, bradycardic syncope in setting of atenolol toxicity, or hypokalemia causing long QTc(>500msec on admission EKG) and triggering tachycarrhythmia (with K repletion QTc returned to normal, 430). What argues against atenolol toxicity is that the patient's heart rate augmented with orthostatic vital signs taken on admission. Patient was monitored on telemetry. Home ___ were held. Ruled out for PE with ___. IVF was given and K+ repleted. No further arrhythmias or syncopal events occurred. On HD3, a TTE was obtained which was a normal study. Atrius Cardiology was consulted and patient will have f/u monitoring. #R FOREHEAD TRAUMA: NCHCT of head was obtained and negative for acute intracranial process or fractures. #HYPOKALEMIA: Though initial value wnl, admit BMP was hemolyzed, so wonder if she was hypokalemic on presentation (as above, possibly leading to QTc prolongation and possibly PMVT). Diuretic effect certainly possible, but given her hypertension and FHx of such, wonder about renin or aldosterone effect or ___. Would expect that diuretic effect would have worn off by 2 days inpatient. The patient was discharged with 40meq BID of potassium repletion and off of her diuretics. Can carefully consider ___ of very low dose diuretics as outpatient if felt appropriate. #Severe Persistent Asthma: Per report, required steroids 2 months ago, has near nightly awakenings with dry mouth but ___ requires rescue inhaler. Reportedly ___ to medications per chart. Currently not having an exacerbation at this time. Continued home nebs, inhaler. #Headache/Migraine: No migraines this hospitalization. #PCOS: Nexplanon. HbA1c this admission 6.2%. #OSA: Not using home CPAP ___ lack of "correct tubing". Please consider connecting this patient w/ the equipment supplier.

However, the patient has significant family history of CAD (father), and several risk factors including smoking and HTN. Troponins negative x2 and EKg wnl, Tele showed no events. Cardiac cath was preformed after pretreatment for contrast allergy, which showed no CAD. The patient was very distressed that she had no explanation for her SOB with the negative cath, so pulmonology consult was obtained to help the patient transition to outpatient setting for further pulm workup. Pulm consult recommended CT chest to reassure the patient and assess for parechymal disease, CT lungs was negative. The patient was strongly recommended towards smoking cessation and weight loss. # HTN: BP was slightly elevated during admission, mostly systolic 130s. Continued home lisinopril, metoprolol, HCTZ, ASA. Deferred further BP control decisions to PCP. # GERD: the patient's dose of omeprazole was increased to 40 when her cardiac cath was negative, as GERD is the leading most likely cause of her SOB at this time. # Anxiety: The patient was very anxious on the floor, and responded well to clonazepam. She was discharged with a short perscription for clonazepam, further anxiolytic treatment deferred to PCP. # FEN- heart healthy diet/ replete lytes PRN # ACCESS- PIV's # PROPHYLAXIS- -DVT ppx with SQ Heparin -Pain management with tylenol prn -Bowel regimen with docusate, senna # CODE- Full (confirmed) # EMERGENCY CONTACT- Mother ___ ___ TRANSITIONAL ISSUES --Needs to follow up with pulm specialist for full set of PFTs to eval for asthma vs COPD --highly recommend smoking cessation, weight loss

___ male with history of constipation, diverticulitis s/p partial sigmoidectomy with known enterocutaneous fistula who was admitted to FICU on ___ with hypotension (likely dehydration in setting of high-output fistula) and CT concerning for mild stercoral proctitis, now with resolution of hypotension and tx to floor ___. #Hypotension: The patient presented with hypotension, likely secondary to dehydration in the setting of large EC fistula output resulting from rectal fecal impaction (the result of uptitrating his home imodium prior to admission). Briefly required levophed in the ICU via L IJ, but was quickly weaned with 4L IVFs. He was initiated on levofloxacin/flagyl, discontinued given low concern for sepsis. Active bleeding was thought unlikely. Surgery was consulted, but in the absence of evidence of intra-abdominal perforation on imaging only disimpaction and medical management of constipation were recommended (see below). Of note, baseline blood pressures appear to be SBPs in the ___ to low 100s. He has previously required intermittent IVF for similar presentations, last about 5 months ago, and is reportedly in discussion with his PCP about establishing ___ schedule for regular IVF infusions. He will need to f/u with his PCP for further management of this recurrent issue. #Stercoral proctitis #Constipation #Chronic metabolic acidosis Patient has chronic constipation, diverticulitis s/p sigmoidectomy, and known enterocutaneous fistula with CT concerning for stercoral proctitis. He is managed with anti-diarrheals at his assisted living facility to control EC fistula output, with resulting constipation that then exacerbates fistula output. As above, his presentation was thought secondary to rectal impaction resulting in high fistula output and hypotension. C.diff was negative. There was no evidence of intra-abdominal perforation on imaging. He had a large bowel movement prior to transfer to ___ from ___ ___ and underwent disimpaction in the ICU. On transfer to the floor he was continued on an aggressive bowel regimen of senna, bisacodyl, miralax, and enemas, with resolution of his rectal impaction. He was discharged on his home imodium in addition to senna, bisacodyl, and miralax PRN and will need to work with his PCP to balance control of his fistula output with management of constipation. His home sodium bicarbonate was continued on discharge. #Normocytic anemia: Hct 24.5 on admission from b/l 37 in ___. Etiology of anemia was unclear. Guaiac negative with no e/o active bleeding. Iron studies most consistent with anemia of chronic disease. No e/o hemolysis. His anemia was stable, and Hct was 26.7 at the time of discharge. He will need to f/u with his PCP for ___ repeat CBC and further w/u as appropriate. #pAF not on anticoagulation: continued home metoprolol in fractionated form #GERD: continued home PPI #Hypothyroidism: TSH WNL. continued home synthroid #BPH: replaced home dutasteride with finasteride while hospitalized (formulary issues) #Depression: continued home Venlafaxine

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPHS HISTORY: Prior pneumonia and feeling poorly. COMPARISONS: ___. TECHNIQUE: Chest, PA and lateral. FINDINGS: The patient is status post coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A dual-lead pacemaker/ICD device appears in a similar position. The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours appear unchanged, allowing for differences in technique. The lung volumes are very low. Particularly in that setting, minimal left basilar opacities are probably associated with minor atelectasis. The lungs appear otherwise clear. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The bones are probably demineralized to some degree. IMPRESSION: Findings suggesting minor left basilar atelectasis without definite evidence for pneumonia. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ man with distended abdomen and chest x-ray evidence of dilated bowel. Evaluate for obstruction or other intra-abdominal pathology. Patient has ESRD and is on hemodialysis. COMPARISON: CT L-SPINE ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness without oral or intravenous contrast. Intravenous contrast was not administered due to patient's creatinine of 2.7. CT ABDOMEN: The visualized lung bases demonstrate mild dependent bibasilar atelectasis. There is a small fat-containing left Bochdalek hernia. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. Dense atherosclerotic calcifications are seen in the coronary arteries. Pacemaker lead ends in the expected locations of the right atrium and right ventricle. CT ABDOMEN: Evaluation of the intra-abdominal organs is limited without intravenous contrast. The liver, spleen and bilateral adrenal glands are normal. The gallbladder is not visualized. The pancreas is atrophic but otherwise normal. The kidneys are atrophic with renal artery calcifications compatible with patient's known end stage renal disease. There is no hydronephrosis or stone identified. A 3.2 x 3.0 cm hypodensity in the right interpolar region is consistent with a simple cyst. There is fluid within the mildly prominent small bowel and colon but without bowel wall thickening or bowel obstruction. A 6 mm hypodensity in the third part of the duodenum has fat attenuation consistent with small lipoma (2:39). Dense atherosclerotic calcifications are seen in the normal caliber native aorta with an aortobifemoral bypass, the patency of which cannot be assessed without IV contrast. No pathologically enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes are identified. There is no free fluid and no free air. CT PELVIS: The rectum, sigmoid, bladder, prostate, and seminal vesicles are normal. There is no free fluid and no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. BONE WINDOWS: No bone finding suspicious for infection or malignancy is seen. Degenerative changes in the lower lumbar facet joints are noted. Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 is unchanged from ___. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intra-abdominal process, although complete evaluation is limited by lack of IV contrast. No bowel obstruction.

___ M hx of ESRD on HD, HTN, CAD s/p CABG presenting with fatigue in the setting of 1 week of loose stool. . # FATIGUE: During PCP evaluation patient blood pressure was 110/80 which was evaluated as a relative hypotension given patient's baseline. There was concern for endovascular infection given recent cannulation of AVG a week prior. However, cultures from dialysis 4d before admission were neg. As patient had poor PO intake and loose stools, it is likely the cause of the relative hypotension was secondary to low intravascular volume. Amlodipine was held overnight and patient received IVF. Blood pressure was 130-160s during his admission. Patient measures blood pressure at home as was instructed to hold amlodipine if systolic pressure was below 120. Patient will see his primary care doctor on the day after discharge. Patient's main complaint of fatigue and poor appetite coincided with loose stools for 5 days. Patients white count was elevated on admission to 12.6. Abdominal CT scan did not show any acute abnormalities. No evidence of colitis. Guaiac negative. LFTs, lipase, and lactate were within normal limits. Symptoms were likely due to a viral syndrome. ___ normalized and patient tolerated a full breakfast and felt much improved on the day of discharge. Patient will receive physical therapy at home. . # ESRD: Patient HD scheduled is ___ at ___ ___. Patient will return to HD on the day after discharge.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Chest radiograph INDICATION: History: ___ with fall with ams// CVA ? fracture ? acute process ? General TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral COMPARISON: Multiple prior examinations, most recent from ___ FINDINGS: Examination is moderately limited due to significant patient rotation. Overall, density in the medial right hemithorax likely represents mediastinal structures, which are unchanged compared to prior, although patient rotation limits evaluation of this region. There is persistent tortuosity of the descending aorta. Cardiac silhouette is unchanged in size. There is no definite focal consolidation. Density overlying the right hilus likely represents pulmonary vasculature. No pneumothorax or pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: Moderately limited examination due to patient rotation. No definite focal consolidation identified. Evaluation of the mediastinum is limited. Density along the medial aspect of the right hemithorax represents unchanged mediastinal structures. Repeat chest radiograph can be considered if clinically appropriate. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD INDICATION: History: ___ status post fall with altered mental status. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as bone algorithm reconstructions were provided and reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 4.0 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 46.7 mGy (Head) DLP = 747.3 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 747 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: MRI of the head from ___ FINDINGS: Exam is mildly to moderate limited by motion artifact and patient head tilt. There is no evidence acute hemorrhage, edema, or acute major vascular territorial infarction. Ventricles and sulci are prominent consistent with age-related global parenchymal loss. Periventricular, subcortical, and deep white matter hypodensities are nonspecific, but likely represent sequela of chronic microvascular ischemic disease in this age group. No displaced fracture is seen allowing for motion artifact. The orbits appear grossly unremarkable. There is mild mucosal thickening in the ethmoid air cells. There is a small mucous retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus, image 301:12. There is mild mucosal thickening and small mucous retention cysts in the right maxillary sinus. Right maxillary sinus walls are mildly thickened and sclerotic, indicating sequela of chronic inflammation. There is trace fluid versus mild dependent mucosal thickening in the left sphenoid sinus. There is a small focus of aerosolized secretions in the right sphenoid sinus. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for an acute intracranial abnormality or displaced fracture. 2. Trace fluid versus mild dependent mucosal thickening in the left sphenoid sinus, and small focus of aerosolized secretions in the right sphenoid sinus. Please correlate with any associated inflammatory symptoms. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST Q311 CT SPINE INDICATION: History: ___ status post fall with altered mental status. Evaluate for cervical spine fracture. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast helical multidetector CT of the cervical spine was performed. Soft tissue and bone algorithm images were generated. Coronal and sagittal reformations were then constructed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 4.6 s, 18.2 cm; CTDIvol = 25.1 mGy (Body) DLP = 455.8 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 456 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: No relevant comparison is identified FINDINGS: Streak artifact from dental amalgam limits evaluation at the level of C2. The bones are demineralized. No acute displaced fracture is seen. C3 through C7 vertebral bodies demonstrate mild diffuse loss of height, without evidence for acute fracture lines. T2 vertebral body demonstrates mild to moderate loss of height with sclerosis along the superior endplate, which may be secondary to subacute or chronic fracture. No evidence for prevertebral soft tissue swelling. Minimal anterolisthesis of C6 on C7 and of C7 on T1 is most likely degenerative, with associated disc space narrowing. Mild dextroconvex curvature of the cervical spine is also noted. Disc protrusions and endplate osteophytes indent the thecal sac at multiple levels. There appears to be mild to moderate spinal canal narrowing at C4-C5 and C5-C6, and milder spinal canal narrowing elsewhere. There is also multilevel neural foraminal narrowing by uncovertebral and facet osteophytes. 0.8 x 0.5 cm irregularly-shaped sclerotic focus in the left aspect of the C7 vertebral body, image 601:13, is nonspecific but compatible with a bone island. Concurrent head CT is reported separately. There are several circumscribed right thyroid nodules versus cysts, up to 0.8 cm on image 301:51, superimposed upon underlying heterogeneity of the right thyroid lobe. No concerning abnormalities at the included lung apices. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for an acute displaced fracture. 2. T2 vertebral body mild-to-moderate loss of height with sclerosis along the superior endplate, which may be subacute or chronic. 3. Minimal anterolisthesis of C6 on C7 and of C7 on T1 is most certainly degenerative, though there are no comparison exams to confirm chronicity. 4. Multilevel degenerative disease. 5. 0.8 cm sclerotic focus in the left C7 vertebral body is nonspecific but compatible with a bone island. However, if there is a clinical concern for sclerotic metastasis, then further evaluation may be performed by cervical spine MRI with and without contrast versus nuclear medicine bone scan. 6. Heterogenous right thyroid lobe with nodules versus cysts measuring up to 0.8 cm. ACR guidelines do not recommend sonographic evaluation of nodules smaller than 1.5 cm in this age group. RECOMMENDATION(S): 0.8 cm sclerotic focus in the left C7 vertebral body is nonspecific but compatible with a bone island. However, if there is a clinical concern for sclerotic metastasis, then further evaluation may be performed by cervical spine MRI with and without contrast versus nuclear medicine bone scan. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: BILAT HIPS (AP, LAT, AND PELVIS) 5 OR MORE VIEWS INDICATION: ___ year old woman with fall// hip fracture IMPRESSION: No previous images.

CT-V found inflamed sigmoid diverticulum which may have reflected resolving diverticulitis. # HTN: Pt was not on any anti-HTN meds at home, but BPs were up to 160s/100, likely precipitated by acute PE and also anxiety, but given high persistent BPs, she was started on Lisinopril 10mg and Amlodipine 5mg with plan for outpatient PCP ___ # Night Sweats/Mild Monocytosis: The patient presented w/an unprovoked DVT and severe PE, which can have a paraneoplastic etiology, especially in tumors w/larger mass/volume. However, there were no other findings which raised the concern for malignancy. Hem/Onc was consulted to r/o malignancy. Her recent imaging included CT chest and abdomen/pelvis, as well as her last colonoscopy and mammography in ___ which did not raise suspicion for (potential) malignancy. Pt had elevated LDH to 861 on admission which was most likely stress related and was close to normalizing to 251 on DC. Pt had pending chromogranin A (diarrhea, HTN, with possible neuroendocrine etiology) on DC. Will have outpatient f/u as well as mammogram. CHRONIC ======= # Peripheral Neuropathy: Pt's home gabapentin and nortyptiline were held initially, though these were restarted w/improving status # Hypothyroidism: c/w Levothyroxine 150 mcg ==================== TRANSITIONAL: ==================== - Pt started on warfarin 6mg qD with lovenox bridge. Please recheck INR on ___ - Pt started on amlodipine 5 mg and lisinopril 10 mg for HTN (SBPs 160-180s) during hospitalization. - Pt reports 4 month history of drenching night/day sweats. Inpt heme-onc consulted and felt no acute concern for malignant process. Please consider further workup as outpt. Please follow up on chromogrannin A level (in setting of diarrhea, HTN to r/o NET). CT revealed 9 mm hypodensity in the head of the pancreas that statistically likely represents a side branch IPMN, please continue to follow up with non-urgent MRI. - CXR from ___ with lobulated soft tissue obscuring the descending thoracic aorta and paraspinal line is likely hiatal hernia. Please continue to monitor - CT A/P with 4.9 mm hepatic hemangioma, inflamed diverticulum in sigmoid colon that may reflect resolving diverticulitis in setting of recent GI sx. No free air or fluid collection. - Pt had a dry cough on admission, which continued throughout. If this continues without improvement, consider changing new lisinopril to losartan, though cough appeared to start before ACE-Inhibitor was started. # Discharge weight: 120.4 kg # CODE: Full (confirmed) # CONTACT: ___ (niece): ___

The patient was originally transferred to MICU on d/t concern for sepsis and CHF exacerbation. In the MICU, she quickly stabilized with IV diuresis. She was also found to be hypercarbic and was set up for a trilogy mask at night for OSA/COPD, and transferred to the floor on ___. There she continued to be diuresed to her dry weight and started on home torsemide, where she remained stable. Although she remained in sinus throughout her hospitalization, there was concern that her initial presentation was CHF ___ recurrent Afib. She was wearing an event monitor at the time which should be interrogated as an outpatient. Her discharge weight was 239.7 lbs (108.7 kg), and she was sent on torsemide 60 mg. In terms of her cellulitis, wound swab culture from ED returned MRSA and she was started on IV Vanc and Cefepime for 2 days. The ___ erythema improved, and abx were switched to PO doxycycline and cephalexin. The erythema worsened over the next day and she was transitioned back to IV vancomycin with plans to complete a 7 day course. She had a PICC line placed and was discharged with home infusion therapy. During hospitalization pt also had polyarticular arthritis (Lt ankle, wrist, ___ PIP) c/f a severe gout flare. Rheumatology was consulted, who recommended prednisone for treatment and increase of allopurinol as outpatient. The patient had continued swelling of her left ring finger, so her ring was cut off by othro. The patient improved prior to discharge and was scheduled to follow-up with rheumatology as an outpatient. =======================

The patient is staus post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit exiting in the right lower quadrant. There is mild hydorureteronephrosis bilaterally but the conduit appears patent. 2. There is a small amount of free fluid and a 5.2 x 2.1 cm focus of what may be loculated fluid in the right retorperitoneum. These findings may be representative of normal postsurgical changes. However, seroma or an urine due to leakage cannot be excluded in this noncontrast study. These can be further assessed with a contrast enhanced study when possible. Final Report HISTORY: Evaluation of patient with history of metastatic bladder cancer status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal diversion with leakage from the surgical wound. COMPARISON: Multiple prior studies ranging from CTU from ___ to CT Torso from ___. Renal ultrasound ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images were obtained from the base of the lungs to the pubic symphysis without the administration of IV contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were prepared and reviewed. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: Evaluation of visceral organs is limited due to the lack of IV contrast. A 7 x 4 mm pleural based nodule is noted on the left (2:12) and relatively stable compared to prior study from ___ when it was partially visualized. A tiny granuloma is again noted at the right lung base (2:4). The patient is status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit in the right lower quadrant. Both kidneys demonstrate new mild hydroureteronephrosis, with no calculi seen. Postsurgical changes are noted involving a loop of ileum (2:64) which then traverses to the right lower quadrant and exists the anterior abdominal wall (2: 52). Inferior and posterior to the anastomosis of the ureters to the ileal conduit, there is a small amount of free and partially loculated right retroperitoneal simple fluid measuring up to 5.2 x 2.1 cm (2:70). This fluid is likely expected post-surgical and may be reflective of a developing seroma; a small urine leak from the anastamosis, however, cannot be completely excluded on this non contrast study. Otherwise, post ileal anastomosis changes are noted with no evidence for obstruction. Postsurgical changes are also noted mid anterior abdomen with no evidence of a drainable collection. Foci of air noted in bilateral inguinal regions also represent postsurgical changes. The spleen is enlarged at 19.1 cm with unchanged coarse calcifications. There is trace perihepatic ascites. Otherwise, the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, and visualized loops of small and large bowel are within normal limits. Mild atherosclerotic calcifications of the distal abdominal aorta are present, but the aorta is normal in caliber and contour. A few small retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymph nodes are noted but there is no pathologic lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. CT PELVIS WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: Evaluation of visceral organs is limited due to the lack of IV contrast. The patient is status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit. There is sigmoid diverticulosis without diverticulitis. A small amount of free fluid is noted in resection bed and extra-peritoneal pelvic tissues, likely post-operative. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. Penile prosthesis is partially imaged. Osseous structures: There are no lytic sclerotic osseous lesions suspicious for malignancy. IMPRESSION: 1. Status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit exiting in the right lower quadrant. Mild hydorureteronephrosis bilaterally is noted, new from the ultrasound of ___. 2. Small amount of free fluid within the right retroperitoneum and pelvic surgical bed, with a 5.2 x 2.1 cm partially loculated collection in the right retroperitoneum, near the ureteral anastamosis with the ileal conduit. These findings are likely reflective of expected postsurgical changes. A small urine leak cannot be completely excluded on this noncontrast study, and if this is a concern, further assessment can be performed with a contrast enhanced study. 3.

Evaluate for nerve root compression or mass. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence MRI of the lumbar spine was obtained without IV gadolinium as per department protocol. Please note that this examination was initially protocoled with contrast, however the patient had difficulty tolerating the exam due to pain and urinary incontinence and asked to stop this examination. Contrast was not given. COMPARISON: CT of the abdomen and pelvis of ___. FINDINGS: The bone marrow signal is unremarkable throughout the lumbar spine with exception of a hemangioma at L5 vertebral body. There is no evidence of abnormal STIR signal. The vertebral body heights are grossly preserved. The alignment is maintained. There are endplate changes with a Schmorl's node at the inferior endplate of L1 vertebral body and at the superior endplate of L5 vertebral body. The conus medullaris terminates at L1-L2 and has normal signal and configuration. At L1-L2, there is narrowing of the disc space with decreased signal within the disc without spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. At L4-L5, there is a central disc protrusion superimposed on a diffuse disc bulge flattening the anterior thecal sac and narrowing of the subarticular zones. There is ligamentum flavum thickening and facet joint arthropathy. These result in mild to moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. At L5-S1, there is a diffuse disc bulge, facet joint arthropathy, and ligamentum flavum thickening resulting in mild to moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. The paraspinal and prevertebral soft tissues are unremarkable. Note is made of 2.4 cm x 1.3 cm x 2.2 cm oval lesion immediately beneath the dermis of the posterior soft tissues likely representing a sebaceous cyst. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of abnormal STIR signal within the lumbar spine or masses. 2. Mild degenerative changes of the lumbar spine. ___ ___ RENAL SCAN Clip # ___ Reason: S/P RADICAL CYSTECTOMY W/ ILEAL LOOP URINARY DIVERSION Final Report RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL DATA: 5.5 mCi Tc-99m MAG3 ___ RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: (___) 5.5 mCi Tc-99m MAG3 HISTORY: Status post radical cystectomy with ileal loop diversion. Assess for urinary leak. INTERPRETATION: Comparison was made with post-operative CT from ___. Flow and dynamic images were obtained after intravenous administration of tracer. Blood flow images show slight decreased in flow bilaterally when compared with the spleen suggesting decreased renal function but there is appropriate peak of flow compared to aortic flow. Renogram images show appropriate tracer uptake in the left kidney with normal clearance of tracer. However, the right kidney shows constant accumulation of tracer without any clearance after 20 minutes of imaging. 40 mg of lasix were then administered and an appropriate clearance of tracer from the right kidney was observed - 42% residual after 20 minutes - precluding the possibility of obstruction. The differential function obtained by analysis of tracer concentration in the parenchyma from 2 to 3 minutes post tracer injection shows the left kidney to be performing 54 % of the total renal function and the right kidney performing 46 %. Delayed imaging showed a circular morphology of tracer which appears contained and is similar to the CT appearance of diverting ileal loop. Inferior to the loop there is some tracer which might be associated with course of diverting loop through the abdominal wall and urinary catheter. However, further assessment with SPECT for accurate localization of tracer in the pelvis could not be performed due to the patient's inability to cooperate secondary to pain. IMPRESSION: 1. Delayed peak of flow bilaterally compatible with mild renal insufficiency. 2. No evidence or obstruction. 3. No clear evidence of urinary leak in delayed images. However, accurate localization of pelvic tracer could not be performed owing to patient inability to cooperate with SPECT/CT secondary to pain. If there is continued suspicion of urinary leak, further imaging with SPECT/CT may be helpful.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: Evaluation of patient with history of metastatic bladder cancer status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal diversion with leakage from the surgical wound. COMPARISON: Multiple prior studies ranging from CTU from ___ to CT Torso from ___. Renal ultrasound ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images were obtained from the base of the lungs to the pubic symphysis without the administration of IV contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were prepared and reviewed. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: Evaluation of visceral organs is limited due to the lack of IV contrast. A 7 x 4 mm pleural based nodule is noted on the left (2:12) and relatively stable compared to prior study from ___ when it was partially visualized. A tiny granuloma is again noted at the right lung base (2:4). The patient is status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit in the right lower quadrant. Both kidneys demonstrate new mild hydroureteronephrosis, with no calculi seen. Postsurgical changes are noted involving a loop of ileum (2:64) which then traverses to the right lower quadrant and exists the anterior abdominal wall (2: 52). Inferior and posterior to the anastomosis of the ureters to the ileal conduit, there is a small amount of free and partially loculated right retroperitoneal simple fluid measuring up to 5.2 x 2.1 cm (2:70). This fluid is likely expected post-surgical and may be reflective of a developing seroma; a small urine leak from the anastamosis, however, cannot be completely excluded on this non contrast study. Otherwise, post ileal anastomosis changes are noted with no evidence for obstruction. Postsurgical changes are also noted mid anterior abdomen with no evidence of a drainable collection. Foci of air noted in bilateral inguinal regions also represent postsurgical changes. The spleen is enlarged at 19.1 cm with unchanged coarse calcifications. There is trace perihepatic ascites. Otherwise, the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, and visualized loops of small and large bowel are within normal limits. Mild atherosclerotic calcifications of the distal abdominal aorta are present, but the aorta is normal in caliber and contour. A few small retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymph nodes are noted but there is no pathologic lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. CT PELVIS WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: Evaluation of visceral organs is limited due to the lack of IV contrast. The patient is status post cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit. There is sigmoid diverticulosis without diverticulitis. A small amount of free fluid is noted in resection bed and extra-peritoneal pelvic tissues, likely post-operative. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. Penile prosthesis is partially imaged. Osseous structures: There are no lytic sclerotic osseous lesions suspicious for malignancy.

The patient was admitted from the ED to the urology service. He was found to have an elevated Cr and potassium. He was monitored for hyperkalemia with serial EKGs and medical management. CT did not show any drainable collection in his abdomen, and thus he was observed and treated conservatively for a suspected lymphatic leak. On HD #2, a renal US was obtained which revealed mild hydronephrosis. On HD #3, a renal consult was obtained to aid in the management of hyperkalemia and he was treated with gentle diuresis. A repeat renal US was obtained as recommended by renal consult and this was significant for no change in hydronephrosis. A nutrition consult was obtained to educate the patient on a low fat, medium chain fatty acid diet. His abdominal leak had resolved on his own. A MAG3 lasix renogram was performed to assess for the presence of obstruction since the renal team suspected obstruction as a reason for his hyperkalemia. On HD #5, an MRI and lumbar xray were obtained secondary to chronic bilateral lower back pain with onset of burning pain down bilateral ___. These were negative for any acute process. Throughout his hospital course, his labs were monitored at least daily. A foley catheter was placed into his stoma and his labs were stable. He was discharged ___ on HD7 with services for home ___, stoma care, and for labs to be drawn on ___. He was tolerating a regular diet that is low in potassium, low fat and medium chain fatty acid. His pain was controlled on oral medications. He was ambulating with a walker. He was producing adequate amounts of urine.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: ================== Mr. ___ is a ___ with hx of ESRD on dialysis (TTS), cognitive impairment, stroke/small vessel ischemic changes, CAD, T2DM, and hypothyroidism presenting with acute hypoxia likely ___ to pulmonary edema from volume overload and possibly exacerbated by and aspiration event, now s/p HD on ___ and ___ with decreasing O2 requirement. ACUTE ISSUES =========== #Acute hypoxic respiratory failure - resolved #Volume overload - resolving #Leukocytosis - resolved #Aspiration Risk Presenting with acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring BiPAP in MICU on admission. On clarification of history with patient's family at bedside, presented with subacute worsening of dyspnea overnight with no reported events of an acute aspiration like event. CXR on admission showing volume overload with possible e/o concurrent aspiration. O2 requirement now improving after undergoing dialysis. Did have a leukocytosis on admission c/f possible aspiration PNA/HAP (as lives in nursing home) and was covered broadly on vanc/ceftaz/azithromycin and now narrowing. Our suspicion for a true pulmonary infection decreased with his rapid improvement after dialysis given he had no fever, no symptoms of cough, and he had recently completed a course of levaquin for HAP a month ago. We stopped all antibiotics on ___ with continuing resolution of his leukocytosis with no fevers subsequently. Speech and swallow evaluated the patient with a video swallowing study which showed no evidence of aspiration, but some penetration with thin>thick liquids that worsened as a meal progressed. He was noted to be at high risk for postprandial reflux and aspiration - it may be possible that he had an aspiration event while sleeping prior to admission leading to his acute hypoxic respiratory failure. They recommended continuing a pureed dysphagia diet and nectar thick liquids as an outpatient. On discharge, his respiratory status was stable O2>92% on 1L NC with no signs of increased work of breathing. The following are recommendations by speech and swallow to reduce patient's aspiration risk: 1. Aggressive means to reduce prandial aspiration risk while accepting post-prandial aspiration risk: -Pt to continue on current diet of pureed solids and nectar thick liquids. 2. Moderate means to reduce prandial aspiration risk while accepting post-prandial aspiration risk: - Pt to continue on current diet of pureed solids and nectar thick liquids with initiation ___ Free Water protocol - Pt permitted to drink thin liquid water between meals and at least 30 minutes after meals following oral care - Pt must continue to drink nectar-thick liquids during meals 3. Mild-moderate means to reduce prandial aspiration risk while accepting post-prandial aspiration risk: - Pt to consume a diet of thin liquids and pureed solids 4. Limited means to reduce risk for prandial aspiration and asphyxiation: - Pt to drink thin liquids and any solid consistency with acknowledgement of risk for aspiration and/or asphyxiation #ESRD: HD schedule of ___ maintained and he received dialysis on ___ and ___.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Q16 INDICATION: ___ w/worst headache of life, refusing LP, please eval for aneursym// ___ w/worst headache of life, refusing LP, please eval for aneursym TECHNIQUE: CT of the head was acquired. Following contrast administration and departmental protocol CT angiography of the head and neck was obtained. 3D and curved reformatted images were obtained on the independent workstation. DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 1,441 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Head CT of the same day. FINDINGS: CT angiography of the neck shows normal appearance of the carotid and vertebral arteries without stenosis or occlusion or dissection. Early vascular calcifications are seen at the right carotid bifurcation. CT angiography of the head shows normal appearance of the arteries of the anterior and posterior circulation without stenosis or occlusion or aneurysm greater than 3 mm in size. IMPRESSION: No significant abnormalities on CT angiography of the head indent neck. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN PT12 MR HEAD INDICATION: History of pituitary adenoma, CML, migraines admitted with severe acute onset headache with unremarkable CTA and lumbar puncture. Assess pituitary adenoma and evaluate for cerebral venous thrombosis. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and coronal T1 weighted imaging were performed along with coronal T2 imaging. Sagittal and coronal T1 weighted imaging were repeated after the uneventful intravenous administration of 10 mL of Gadavist contrast. Axial T2, FLAIR, T1 post, diffusion, as well as sagittal MP-RAGE images with axial and coronal reformats. 3D phase-contrast MRV of the head was obtained. Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images of the MRV were then generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. COMPARISON CTA head and neck ___. Noncontrast head CT ___. MR pituitary ___. MR head ___. FINDINGS: MR pituitary: There has been prominent interval increase in size of a lobulated, intra sellar and suprasellar hypoenhancing, mainly T2 hyperintense mass measuring up to 22 x 17 x 15 mm, previously 11 x 11 x 11 mm in ___. This lesion demonstrates areas of intrinsic T1 hyperintensity, likely representing hemorrhage. There may be a thin rim of residual pituitary tissue, flattening within the base of the sella. The mass encases a roughly 30% circumference of the right internal carotid artery, with preserved flow void. The mass approaches the optic chiasm, without contact. There is increased leftward deviation of the infundibulum secondary to mass effect (series 12, image 8). The cavernous sinuses appear preserved. MR brain: There is no acute edema, new mass, mass effect, or infarct. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration for age. Mild scattered areas of periventricular and subcortical white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintensity most likely reflect the sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is no abnormal focus of slowed diffusion. The dural venous sinuses are patent on MP-RAGE images. No extra-axial abnormal FLAIR/T2 signal. The principal intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved. No other enhancing lesion is identified. There is mild mucosal wall thickening in the floors of the maxillary sinuses with a small mucous retention cyst on the left, mild mucosal wall thickening of the sphenoid sinuses and bilateral anterior ethmoid air cells. The frontal sinuses are clear. The orbits are grossly unremarkable. The mastoid air cells are clear. MRV: Normal flow signal is demonstrated within the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, transverse sinuses, and sigmoid sinuses. The jugular bulbs and proximal jugular veins are patent. Evaluation of the deep venous systems reveals normal flow signal in the internal cerebral veins. The vein ___ is also unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. 22 x 17 x 15 mm sellar mass with suprasellar extension has increased in size compared to ___, with areas of central T2 hyperintensity and hypoenhancement which may represent a component of necrosis and areas of intrinsic T1 hyperintensity likely representing intralesional hemorrhage. 2. Otherwise no acute hemorrhage, infarct, or new enhancing mass. 3. No evidence of cerebral venous thrombosis. No evidence for venous sinus thrombosis. 4. Mild paranasal sinus disease, as described. 5. Minimal areas of scattered white matter signal abnormality, likely reflecting chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of this age. Gender: M Race: WHITE Arrive by WALK IN Chief complaint: Headache, N/V Diagnosed with Headache temperature: 97.5 heartrate: 71.0 resprate: 18.0 o2sat: 100.0 sbp: 139.0 dbp: 90.0 level of pain: 9 level of acuity: 2.0
___ w/ pituitary tumor, CML (on Sprycel), and presumed OSA presenting with severe headache. CT and LP were both unremarkable for any evidence of acute bleed, but MRI showed enlargement of known pituitary mass (>2cm) with hemorrhage. He was seen by neurology who noted that his neurologic exam was "unremarkable aside from symmetrically brisk reflexes." Visual field was evaluated by opthalmology, who did not find evidence of peripheral vision loss that would suggest any compression of the optic chiasm. Per ophtho's note: "ophthalmology evaluation revealed best corrected visual acuity of ___ bilaterally, dilated fundus examination was normal, including normal-appearing optic nerves without signs of edema (to suggest acute compression) or pallor (to suggest chronic compression and atrophy). Notably, automated visual field testing showed... no detectable temporal field defects on visual fields to suggest pituitary compression at the optic chiasm." Following this workup, he was seen by neurosurgery who opined that there was no acute neurosurgical issue and asked that he follow up in clinic. Endocrine workup was notable for panhypopituitarism. Notably, AM cortisol was 1.1 (and increased to 20.2 one hour after cosyntropin); free T4 was 0.7 and T3 was 69. He was seen by endocrinology, who suggested starting levothyroxine 88 mcg and steroid replacement with hydrocortisone 20mg qam (9am) and 10mg qpm (3pm) daily. The patient was much improved after starting cortisol and reported that his fatigue, malaise and headache were all much better. He was instructed to double his dose of steroid replacement any time he has an acute infection, and also to obtain a medical alert bracelet stating that he has central adrenal insufficiency and central hypothyroidism (in case he presents to an ER unconconscious from adrenal crisis or myxedema coma respectively). He will follow closely with his outpatient endocrinologist Dr. ___. It was not entirely clear whether the headache was related to this hemorrhage, or whether it was unrelated, but it improved steadily throughout his admission and he was discharged with oxycodone for the residual pain.

Chief Complaint: Worsening lower extremity weakness Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: 1. Laminectomy T12-L1, L1-L2, L2-L3. 2. Removal intraspinal abscess lumbar. 3. Open biopsy bone, lumbar. 4. Lateral extracavitary corpectomy, L1. 5. Posterior interbody fusion L1-L2. 6. Autograft, local, for fusion. 7. Posterior fusion L1-L2. History of Present Illness: ___ with MRSA bacteremia, right foot and L2 vertebral osteo on ceftaroline, who is admitted from rehab with subacute worsening of weakness in his BLE. Pt has had subacute worsening BLE weakness over the last 6 weeks, with inability to ambulate and now almost complete inability to move either leg or participate in rehab. These symptoms have been slowly worsening over this time though it is unclear why he has not had any interval spinal assessment since then. Per his family there was concern for urinary retention 2 days ago at rehab and had a foley placed, which was removed in the ED. He has not voided since. No bowel incontinence. He has baseline stocking/glove neuropathy to his bilateral mid shins which is unchanged. He denies fevers. The physicians at rehab were concerned about his worsening weakness and sent him to the ED for evaluation. Recent history notable for admission ___ for AMS in the setting of flexeril initiation, where he had his pain medication regimen adjusted, ___ requiring lasix downtitration, Cdiff s/p PO vanc course. It was recommended that he have a wound VAC for his foot ulcer but per his family he has not had this on. he has a PICC which has been working well. Of note, he is on ceftaroline bc ___ ___ vancomycin. In the ED vitals were: 98.1, HR 80-90s, BP ___, RR ___, SpO2 96-100% on RA. Spinal MRI (which required IV dilaudid and versed) revealed worsening osteomyelitis at multiple vertebral levels. Spine surgery recommended admission to medicine and decompressive laminectomy and washout tomorrow, though they are not optimistic that he will regain function. His CRP was down to 55 from 75 2 weeks ago. On the floor, the pt is without acute complaints. Review of Systems: +/- per HPI.

Chief Complaint: ht hemibody sensory Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ year-old left-handed ___ woman with a history of right MCA/PCA ischemic stroke in ___ while pregnant with PFO and common iliac vein thrombus, and recent finding of possible new acute infarction while admitted to ___ ___, who represents to the ED with new right hemibody sensory deficit. History is obtained from the patient and her mother and is limited by the patient's speech deficit. Ms. ___ neurological history began in ___ when she presented with nonfluent aphasia and mild left-sided weakness to ___ and received IV tpa. She was transferred here where MRI showed an inferior right MCA and partial PCA stroke. The cause of her stroke was thought to be thromboembolic related to hypercoagulability (she was found to be 6 weeks pregnant at that time), non-occlusive thrombosis of the common iliac veins and PFO seen on echo. She was bridged from lovenox to coumadin. Despite rehab, she continued to have a mild nonfluent aphasia with paraphasic errors with long phrases, left homonymous hemianopsia, and left arm sensory deficit. Her pregnancy was ultimately terminated because of the stroke and severe hyperemesis gravidarum. MRV was repeated 1 month later and the illiac vein thrombis was resolved. She was continuing rehab at home and continuing to improve until ___, when she developed dull headache, left eye blurriness, left ear pressure and cramping in her left foot. She presented to her PCP who referred her to ___ ED. She was ultimately admitted for MRI/MRA brain and there was a finding of a "small foci of acute infarction in the same location (as the prior stroke) due to small patchy foci of restricted diffusion and ADC map hypodensity." Her secondary stroke prevention regimen was increased from therapeutic coumadin (INR 2.8 at ___) to include ASA 81mg and atorvastatin 40 (LDL 102). Shortly after the MRI was done she had a ___ hour episode of right arm numbness and discomfort. She told the ___ physicians and she was observed, but no repeat imaging was done. She was dischaged on ___ and upon arriving home she had an additional episode or right arm paresthesias and numbness that again spontaneously resolved. On ___, she again had paresthesias of the arm and developed facial numbness (primarily in the cheek) and intermittent right leg numbness. Currently she has only right arm paresthesias and mild numbness. She has not noticed new weakness. Her mother does note that her speech has worsened in the past ___ days and she is making more errors and talking slower. She has been compliant with her Coumadin, and she tells me that one dose was held at ___ because her level was slightly high, but there have been no low INRs recently. Of note she has not been ill recently and she has no current sick contacts. On neurologic review of systems, the patient denies lightheadedness, or confusion. Denies loss of vision, diplopia, vertigo, tinnitus, dysarthria, or dysphagia. Denies focal muscle weakness. Denies bowel or bladder incontinence or retention. Denies difficulty with gait.

___ year-old left-handed woman with a history of right MCA/PCA ischemic stroke in ___ while pregnant thought to be due to PFO and common iliac vein thrombus who presented with concern for worsened speech deficit and new RUE paresthesia. #POST STROKE PAIN SYNDROME MRI at ___ showed concern for possible new acute infarction, although her clinical exam did not correlate. A repeat MRI at ___ showed possible new small foci of acute infarcts in the same temporal-occipital region as her prior ___s a possible new small area of acute infarct in the left parietal region. Because of the uncertainty about these findings and concomitant therapy with warfarin & therapeutic INR, we did not change her anticoagulation regimen. Her speech deficit was verified to be at baseline per pt's mother's bedside collateral. Pt's RUE paresthesia was thought to be potentially due to central pain syndrome and she was started on nortriptyline. She was discharged in stable condition with neurology clinic follow-up. We discussed her condition with Dr. ___ recommended repeating her brain MRI in a few weeks to assess for the resolution of DWI abnormalities or appearance of new ones since this may be indicative of an ongoing embolism in the setting of oral anticoagulation and may require altering her current treatment strategy (for example, considering closure of PFO or lovenox). TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== -No changes to anticoagulation treatment. Discharged on warfarin 10mg daily. Please continue to monitor INR and titrate warfarin prn. -Started on nortriptyline 10mg qhs for RUE paresthesia thought to be due to central thalamic pain syndrome. Please uptitrate prn. -CTA showed incidental finding of "Scattered nodules in both thyroid lobes with the largest an 8 mm nodule in the left upper pole". Follow-up with outpatient thyroid ultrasound has been recommended by radiology.

COMPARISON: ___, CT from outside hospital. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT. FINDINGS: A subdural hematoma along the right anterior falx appears to be slightly larger compared to the prior study. Much of this may be redistribution however there does appear to be a more circular part measuring approximately 1 cm x 1 cm which was not clearly present on the prior study. While on some images this appears to perhaps the intraparenchymal, the location will be unusual and more likely this is extension of the subdural component of the hemorrhage layering in an unuasal way. There is no shift of the midline structures. There is no evidence of vascular territorial infarct. Basal cisterns are patent and gray-white matter differentiation is preserved throughout. Ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent consistent with age-related global atrophy. Mastoid air cells and paranasal sinuses are well aerated. A small mucus retention cyst is noted in the left maxillary sinus. There is no evidence of fracture. IMPRESSION: Apparently growing subdural hematoma along the anterior right falx comparison to the prior study.

Chief Complaint: dysesthesias of tongue and nose Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: LP History of Present Illness: Mr ___ is a ___ right-handed man presenting with tongue and perioral dysaesthesia on a background of pulmonary sarcoid, and prior renal calculi. About three weeks ago he noted that his tongue was tingly and the bottom felt 'puffy', but was not swollen. He then developed a feeling of drooling out of both sides of his mouth about one week ago - this is persistent. He has a tingling feeling of the tip of his nose that has come and gone since this time. Tongue tingling is also essentially persistent. This is a burning and tingling sensation that is not painful - he is anxious and concerned, but no in pain or discomfort. He noted altered taste (he would not have brought this up, he says), like 'blood in his mouth' for a while - he thinks that this is not associated with reflux.

There is tricompartmental osteoarthritis, with mild joint space narrowing, spurring of the medial and lateral tibial spines, and small superior/inferior patellar enthesophytes. No joint effusion is present. IMPRESSION: No fractures. Tricompartmental osteoarthritis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with right knee pain following surgical repair of comminuted fractures. No prior examinations for comparison. RIGHT LOWER EXTREMITY ULTRASOUND: There is normal compressibility, flow, and augmentation in the right common, superficial, and deep femoral and popliteal veins. Left common femoral and right calf veins were not imaged, due to overlying cast. IMPRESSION: No right lower extremity DVT above the knee. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with L4 burst fracture post L3-S1 anterior and posterior fusion, complicated by large abdominal fluid collection. Percutaneous drainage on ___, now reaccumulated. COMPARISON: Ultrasound intervention from ___ and CT torso from ___. TECHNIQUE: Helical MDCT images were acquired from the lung bases through the greater trochanters without intravenous contrast, based on referring physician's report of retroperitoneal hematoma. Oral contrast was not administered. 5-mm axial, coronal, and sagittal multiplanar reformats were generated. FINDINGS: There is mild atelectasis at the lung bases. Trace left simple pleural effusion has developed. Right atrial and ventricular pacemaker leads course in expected position. Relative hypoattenuation of the blood pool is compatible with anemia. There is physiologic pericardial fluid. A small sliding hiatal hernia is present. ABDOMEN: The liver is unremarkable on this non-contrast examination. The gallbladder is partially distended, with hyperdense layering sludge, but no wall edema or pericholecystic fluid. The pancreas is atrophic. No intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilation. Spleen is borderline enlarged at 14 cm, with accessory splenule at the inferior pole. The adrenals are normal. Left kidney remains enlarged and edematous, with moderate hydroureteronephrosis secondary to distal compression. There is mild perirenal fat stranding, but no free fluid to suggest forniceal rupture. The right kidney is normal. The stomach is normal. A small diverticulum arises from the first portion of the duodenum. The distal small bowel is normal, though displaced to the right by the abdominal fluid collection. PELVIS: There has been interval reaccumulation of the predominantly simple fluid collection in the left lower quadrant, abutting the spinal surgical site anteriorly. Size is similar to pre-drainage CT at 18.5 cm AP x 13.7 cm TV x 21 cm SI. This has lobulated borders, multiple internal septatations, and scattered peripheral areas of calcification. Interval development of a few locules of internal air could be related to recent procedure. There is severe mass effect on surrounding structures, including anterior bowing of the left rectus abdominis, rightward displacement of the bladder and small/large bowel loops, and kinking/obstruction of the distal left ureter. There is edema in the subjacent iliopsoas muscle. The appendix is normal. Single cecal diverticulum is present. Note is made of fecal impaction. Bladder is distended and mildly thick-walled, possibly due to reactive changes or third spacing. The prostate is enlarged, with central coarse calcifications. A small right fat-containing inguinal hernia is present. Mild free fluid in the pelvis. Calcifications throughout the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries. Infrarenal IVC filter is in place. Scattered prominent mesenteric and retroperitoneal nodes. There is asymmetric edema of the lower extremities, left greater than right, likely reflecting central venous thrombosis or compression. Again seen are changes of L4 corpectomy, L5-S1 anterior fusion screws and interbody fusion, and L3-S1 posterior fusion with L3-L5 cage fixation. L3 vertebral screws abut the L3 superior endplate. Hardware is otherwise well seated, without periprosthetic lucency or fracture. Comminuted, mildly displaced fractures of the left inferior pubic ramus and ischial tuberosity persist. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval reaccumulation of left lower quadrant fluid collection, likely postoperative seroma/lymphocele. New gas locules may reflect recent intervention, though superinfection is not excluded. 2. L3-S1 surgical changes. 3. Asymmetric lower extremity edema, likely due to central venous obstruction. 4. Moderate left hydronephrosis, secondary to distal ureteral obstruction. Radiology Report NONINVASIVE VENOUS STUDY OF THE LEFT LOWER EXTREMITY: CLINICAL INDICATION: Multiple trauma with left lower extremity swelling, recently postop. FINDINGS: This is a very limited study as most of the left lower extremity is inaccessible due to the recent surgical procedure. However, the common femoral and proximal femoral veins were approachable and scans demonstrate non-compressibility at both levels indicating deep venous thrombosis. This appears to be acute with a relatively distended and largely obstructed vein. CONCLUSION: A limited scan demonstrating acute DVT in the common femoral and proximal femoral veins. The findings were called to Dr. ___ and relayed to ___ by telephone at 10:27 a.m. Radiology Report ULTRASOUND-GUIDED DRAINAGE INDICATION: ___ man with retroperitoneal collection status post spinal fusion. Please drain. PREPROCEDURE IMAGING AND FINDINGS: There is a large left retroperitoneal fluid collection extending to the left anterior abdominal wall which is highly complex containing innumerable septations and dependent echogenic debris, likely blood clot. This is significantly more complex than on the prior ultrasound for drainage. The complex fluid collection measures at least 13.8 x 15.0 x 18.7 cm. PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___, Dr. ___. PROCEDURE: The procedure, risks, benefits and alternatives were discussed with the patient's sister, ___ via the telephone, and informed consent was obtained with a witness. A preprocedure timeout was performed discussing the planned procedure, confirming the patient's identity with three identifiers, and reviewing a checklist per ___ protocol. Under ultrasound guidance, an entrance site was selected and the skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Approximately 10 mL of 1% lidocaine buffered with sodium bicarbonate was instilled for local anesthesia. An ___ catheter was advanced into the complex left retroperitoneal fluid collection with attempted disruption of septations. 900 mL of clear, serosanguineous fluid was removed. A sample was sent for Gram stain and culture. The catheter was left in place to J/P bulb suction. The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complication. Estimated blood loss was less than 5 mL. Dr. ___ attending radiologist, was present throughout the procedure. Post-procedure orders were entered into the electronic medical record. IMPRESSION: Ultrasound-guided ___ drainage catheter placement into left retroperitoneal complex fluid collection. Gram stain and culture pending. Radiology Report INDICATION: Evaluate PICC. COMPARISONS: Chest radiograph ___. FINDINGS: A new left PICC extends from the right brachiocephalic into the left brachiocephalic vein. A defibrillator and its wires are in proper position. Right basilar atelectasis is unchanged. There is no consolidation, edema, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. IMPRESSION: Malposition of the PICC in the left brachiocephalic. Radiology Report INDICATION: PICC evaluation. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___ at 8:53. FINDINGS: A right PICC ends at or just beyond the superior atriocaval junction. To ensure that the PICC would be in the low SVC or at the atriocaval junction, could pull back approximately 2 cm. There has been no significant change from the prior radiograph with mild right basilar atelectasis and mild engorgement of the pulmonary vasculature. There is no consolidation, edema, or pneumothorax. A defibrillator is unchanged in position. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. IMPRESSION: PICC ends at or just beyond the superior atriocaval junction. To ensure that the PICC is in the low SVC or at the atriocaval junction, could pull back 2 cm.

Mr. ___ was admitted to the Orthopedic service on ___ for recurrence of a left-sided retroperitoneal fluid collection after being evaluated and treated in the emergency room. There was further questions regarding possible infection of his external-fixator pin sites on his left femur. The vascular and spine surgery teams responsible for his prior lumbar surgery were also consulted, given the retroperitoneal location of the fluid collection. Everyone was in agreement with repeat drainage and he subsequently underwent percutaneous drainage of his retroperitoneal fluid collection without complication on ___ by interventional radiology. 900cc of serosanguinous fluid was removed. A pigtail drain was left in place, to continue drainage of the fluid collection, which continued with a significant amount of output. On ___, the pigtail drain was removed, per the recommendation of the Vascular Surgery team. On ___, he underwent incision and debridement of his left leg external fixator pin sites. Please see operative report for full details of both procedures. The retroperitonteal fluid gram stain and culture, as well as the left leg pin site wound gram stain and culture both revealed Beta Streptococcus, Group B. Infectious disease was consulted and per their recommendations, he was started on IV Ceftriaxone 1 gram daily. Given the retroperitoneal location of the fluid collection and the presence of hardware in his spine, it was recommended that he remain on IV antibiotics for a prolonged period: at least 6 weeks. During his hospital stay, he was noted to have edema in his left lower extremity, so an ultrasound was ordered to evaluate for the presence of a DVT. He was diagnosed with a right common, superficial, and deep femoral and popliteal vein thrombosis on ___. Consequently, he was started on therapeutic Lovenox as a bridge to Coumadin for treatment of his DVT, with a goal INR of ___. He had adequate pain management and worked with physical therapy while in the hospital. The remainder of his hospital course was uneventful and Mr. ___ is being discharged to rehab in stable condition.

COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral chest radiographs were obtained. Except for minima subsegmental atelectasis in the right lung base laterally, the lungs are clear with no evidence of consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal silhouette remains stable with the heart size within normal limits. Osseous structures remain grossly unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Little change in comparison to prior study from ___, with no acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report INDICATION: Evaluation of patient with vomiting. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from the same day at 12:50 p.m. FINDINGS: Supine and upright abdominal radiographs were obtained. There is a normal bowel gas pattern with no evidence of obstruction. No free air is noted throughout the abdomen. There is moderate dextroscoliosis of the mid lumbar spine. Mild degenerative changes are visualized at the bilateral hips. Otherwise, no soft tissue calcifications or radiopaque foreign bodies are noted. IMPRESSION: No evidence of bowel obstruction or free intraperitoneal gas. Radiology Report INDICATION: Difficulty vomiting. Concern for esophageal mass. COMPARISON: CT available from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 5-mm axial images of the chest and abdomen were obtained following the uneventful administration of 100 cc of Optiray intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed at 5-mm slice thickness. CHEST: A 14-mm left posterior hypodense thyroid nodule is present (2:8). There is no axillary or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The great vessels are patent and normal in caliber. Multiple calcified mediastinal lymph nodes are present (2:24, 29) compatible with prior granulomatous disease. Oral contrast distends the esophagus, and no esophageal mass or abnormal wall thickening is seen. There is a small hiatal hernia (2:50). No pulmonary nodules or masses are detected. Mild dependent atelectasis is slightly worse on the right (2:45). Coronary artery calcifications are present (2:35). ABDOMEN: Wall thickening at the pylorus (2:59) likley represents physiological contraction. The proximal stomach is not dilated. The small bowel and large bowel are normal. There is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, and no free air or free fluid. The pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, gallbladder, and liver are normal. A subcentimeter hypoenhancing lesion within the interpolar region of the right kidney (2:60) is statistically likely a cyst but remains too small for further characterization on this single phase study. Abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are old traumatic deformities of the spinous processes at T12 and L1. No acute fractures or concerning blastic or lytic lesions are identified. IMPRESSION: 1. No esophageal mass detected. 2. Focal thickening of the pylorus likely reflects physiological contraction. There is no evidence of gastric outlet or bowel obstruction. This was discussed by phone with Dr. ___ at about 7pm, ___. 3. 14-mm hypodense nodule within the posterior aspect of the left thyroid lobe warrants further evaluation with ultrasound on a non-emergent basis or comparison with any outside hospital studies.

___ year old man with history of BPH and asthma presenting with two days of vomiting solids. 1) Vomiting/Nausea: Pt presented two days of vomiting with solids thought tolerating liquids, which raised considerable concern for mechanical obstruction. Despite this patient had been tolerating liquids and appeared appropriately hydrated and generally well. CT scan performed in ED was without a mass or lesion and patient went on to have an EGD that was unremarkable without esophageal web or stricture. Pt tolerated liquid diet throughout hospitalization and had no nausea, abdominal pain, or other concerning symptoms. Prior to discharge (after esophageal stricture excluded) pt tolerated a regular diet without nausea or vomiting. Most likely etiology of vomiting thought to be post-emesis or possibly mild gastrointestinal virus with atypical features that resolved without intervention. He was continued on his home PPI throughout his hospitalization. 2) Cough/ Asthma with exacerbation: Pt presented reporting 10 days of cough that was progressively improving. He continued treatment with fluticasone inhaler and combivent and though he had mild wheezes on presentation he never had an oxygen requirement or respiratory distress. He will continue these inhalers until he follows up with his PCP. 3) Hyponatremia: The patient developed hyponatremia on hospital day 2 in the context of having no solid food and receiving IVF and taking in liquids. This was very mild and urine lytes showed appropriately dilute urine suggesting appropriate response. This was likely due to increased intake of hypotonic drinks with minimal PO intake of solutes. This resolved by discharge. 4) BPH: The patient continued his terazosin and was switched from solifenacin to tamsulosin in house. 5) Microcytic Anemia: Patient has always had stable microcytic anemia. Given age, chronicity, and ethnic background strongly suspect thalassemia. This worsened slightly in the hospital but then improved again likely in relation to dilution from volume. He evidenced no signs of bleeding. The patient tolerated a full diet prior to discharge. He received subcutaneous heparin for DVT prophylaxis.

___ year old female, ___ weeks pregnant, was admitted to the hospital with right lower quadrant abdominal pain. The patient was seen at an outside hospital where she underwent abdominal ultrasound which was reportedly negative for gallbladder pathology. The appendix was not visualized. The patient was transferred here for further evaluation. An MRI of the abdomen and pelvis was obtained which was equivocal for appendicitis. She had a mild elevation of the white blood cell count to 13. The OB service was consulted to evaluate for any obstetrical indication for her abdominal pain. The patient's vital signs remained stable and she was afebrile. She reported a decrease in her abdominal pain and her white blood cell count had decreased to 9.7. The patient resumed a regular diet with no further recurrence of the abdominal pain. On HD #3, the patient was deemed stable for discharge from the surgical standpoint. US imaging in the ___ Maternal Fetal Medicine was arranged by the OB service. The patient was escorted to the ___ for additional imaging.

Of note, patient's diltiazem was eventually d/c'd (though he was not bradycardic) as he remained largely normotensive and as per his PCP there was no reported history of atrial fibrillation. Given greater concern that presentation was consistent with seizure (description of event, bladder incontinence, mild lactatemia, post-event confusion that improved over ~___), neurology was consulted. NCCTH in ED showed no acute intracranial process, though did show chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Neurology recommended obtaining 24h EEG and MRI brain (they also wanted MRI C-spine to assess for cervical pathology unrelated to syncope given hyperasthesia to pinprick over left upper extremity/left lower extremity/left chest wall/left shoulder as well as bilateral upgoing toes). They did mention the possibility of Zika infection given that ___ is an endemic area, did not suggest obtaining Zika serologies. A paraneoplastic limbic encephalopathy seemed unlikely as there was no evidence for malignancy, CT chest lacked masses or lymphadenopathy on chest CT. MRI brain and C spine revealed: no evidence of acute infarction or intracranial hemorrhage; diffuse parenchymal volume loss with likely small vessel ischemic disease; mild cervical spondylosis without high-grade spinal canal stenosis or cord compression/edema. 24h EEG was normal, results from ___ still pending. Neurology ultimately recommended the following: 1) Seizure most likely etiology, will not start AEDs now given isolated event, patient will ___ as outpatient with Dr. ___, should also have autonomics testing 2) Can consider weaning donepezil (given slight possibility of syncope/dizziness and new onset seizure, also anticholinergic bradycardia) in discussion with patient's family given that his mental status is not consistent with advanced Alzheimer's disease # Dementia - Unknown etiology, was prescribed donepezil in ___. As mentioned above, Neurology recommended weaning donepezil as patient's presentation/mental status is not necessarily consistent with Alzheimer's. # Lactatemia - Iso seizure as above vs. possible transient hypotension during syncopal event vs. Metformin effect. Improved s/p 500cc NS on admission. # Concern for pneumonia - Patient was started on treatment for CAP in ED given ?RLL opacity on CXR, most likely atelectasis given CTA results. No clinical signs of pneumonia, d/c'd antibiotics on admission (he received 1x dose azithromycin). # CAD # Stable angina - Unclear history, though by report patient has had stable angina for many years, possibly previously on prn NTG, now taking imdur. Trop NEG .01 x2 in ED. TTE as above was unremarkable, normal EF and normal biV function, no valvular dysfunction. Patient should have stress test as an outpatient (likely pharm stress) given report of exertional chest discomfort. Patient was continued on ASA 81mg qd and Simvastatin 40mg qHS. His imdur 30mg qd was fractionated while inpatient, reconsolidated to once daily imdur at time of discharge. # COPD - No known PFTs. Patient with signs of mild to moderate emphysema on CTA chest in ED. Long smoking history. Not on home O2. No metabolic compensation on BMP, no severe hypercarbia on VBG (51). Patient did not desaturate while walking with physical therapy. Patient was given duonebs while inpatient. Outpatient PFTs may be obtained, though his respiratory status is currently, no hypercarbia or limitation ___ hypoxia. Patient was not started on any COPD treatment. # Hypertension - HTN to 160s on arrival to floor, he likely missed doses of antiHTNs in the ED. SBPs subsequently 115-150. Home enalapril 2.5mg qd was continued. Imdur fractionated as above while inapteint. Initially his diltiazem 30mg BID was continued as any history of afib was unknown, ultimately it was d/c'd prior to discharge given that PCP did not suspect any history of afib. If hypertensive at next PCP visit, may consider uptitrating enalapril. # Microscopic Hematuria - 22RBCs on UA from ED. No clinical concern for UTI or renal stone. Repeat UA with 6RBCs. Should consider urinary tract malignancy given significant smoking history. Patient will require outpatient CTU/cytology if persistent hematuria. # Dyslipidemia - Most recent lipids ___, tot chol 187, hdl 46, ldlcalc 86. Continued simvastatin 40mg qHS. # Prediabetes - Most recent A1C 6.1 ___ - Glipizide was d/c'd at recent visit with PCP. Held metformin given lactatemia, restarted at time of discharge. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== - Most likely etiology seizure, though given isolated event, neurology does not recommend starting AEDs at this time; he will follow up with Dr. ___ for ___ and autonomics testing - EEG results from ___ are pending at time of discharge - Can consider weaning donepezil (given slight possibility of syncope/dizziness and new onset seizure, also anticholinergic bradycardia) in discussion with patient's family given that his mental status is not consistent with advanced Alzheimer's disease - MRI cervical spine revealed ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament, possibly related to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. If clinically warranted, further evaluation with radiograph or CT could be performed - Patient and his family have been instructed that he should NOT be driving a vehicle given dementia - ___ consider uptitration of enalapril at next PCP visit if hypertensive - Patient with microscopic hematuria and long smoking history, consider CTU/cytology if persistent hematuria. Please repeat UA at follow up appointment. - Mild to moderate COPD on CT chest, consider outpatient PFTs - Patient describes long history of exertional chest discomfort, consider outpatient stress test. Medication changes ------------------ - Diltiazem 30mg BID was STOPPED given that he was largely normotensive and does not have any reported hx of atrial fibrillation =================================== # Code status: Full code (confirmed) # Contact: ___ ___ (daughter), ___ ___ (son in law)

SUMMARY ======= ___ w/hx of diabetes and active smoker with PVD s/p R SFA stent ___ and known L SFA occlusion, who presents with 3 weeks of intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea. She underwent an extensive workup with a final diagnosis of aortitis with a possible component of vasculitis and/or early retroperitoneal fibrosis. After discussion with the vascular medicine and rheumatology teams, the decision was made to have close rheumatology follow up as an outpatient and defer the decision for immunosuppressive treatment until the signs/symptoms of her disease worsen. ACUTE PROBLEMS ============== # Abdominal pain: Reports three weeks of intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Aside from finding of possible aortitis/vasculitis on MRA, CTA A/P without concerning acute intra-abdominal pathology. Vascular inflammation should not cause this degree of abdominal pain. Inflammatory markers downtrended on admission. LFTs, lipase WNL. EKG without concerning ST changes to suggest ACS. Could also be GERD, patient states that she has had GERD in the past but hasn't taken medication in ___ years, EGD consistent with gastritis this admission, and she was started on omeprazole. Discharged with a 1 week prescription for 5MG oxycodone Q6H PRN with the plan to wean down and stop. She will follow up for treatment of her aortitis with rheumatology as outpatient. She was encouraged to only take oxycodone if needed to prevent constipation and related abdominal discomfort from that. Some degree of her symptoms are exacerbated by anxiety for which she will have close follow up with her outpatient psychiatrist. # Concern for aortitis: CTA with findings of mild wall thickening of the distal abdominal aorta at the iliac bifurcation, possibly suggestive of aortitis per ___ read. Repeat imaging with MRA shows stable findings of vascular inflammation along with ESR and CRP elevations, but still unclear if these findings are contributing to the abdominal pain. Follow up with rheumatology and vascular medicine as above to determine treatment (likely steroids). # ___: Initially thought to be due to contrast from CTA, returned to baseline of 1.3 and then bumped again to 1.7 this admission. Mostly likely pre-renal on CKD in the setting of abdominal pain / reduced PO intake. Discharge Cr 1.4. CHRONIC/STABLE/RESOLVED PROBLEMS ================================ # HTN Urgency: Possibly due to medication non-complicance or anxiety. Continued home Lisinopril 40MG Daily, and Clonidine 0.2MG BID. Increased Amlodipine to 10 MG daily with improved BP control. # PVD # L SFA stent occlusion: Follows with vascular surgery with recent visit in ___. Continues to actively smoke for which smoking cessation is a prerequisite for additional intervention. Of note, patient has been without cigarettes or nicotine patch this admission. Continued Atorvastatin 80MG QHS # Bipolar Disorder/Anxiety: Patient took her own lurasidone. Continued Clonazepam. Will have outpatient psychiatry and therapist follow up. # DM: Held home metformin and glipizide while inpatient, resumed on discharge # ADHD: Held Adderall given HTN. Follow up with psych outpatient to restart this medication. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== Discharge Cr: 1.4 [ ] Spoke with PCP and psychiatrist prior to discharge to make sure everyone on the same page regarding plan. Should not have opiates prescribed after short course from our discharge, with plans to start therapy with rheumatology [ ] Recheck creatinine at PCP follow up to ensure that it remains at baseline [ ] Follow up pain management, and attempt to wean/stop opiates. Given 5 day course with agreement that she should not be maintained on these medications. Pending rheumatology and vascular medicine management [ ] Patient has a level of anxiety, especially given new medical issues this admission.

He is followed closely by Dr. ___ and saw her on ___ and he has been using his nebulizers and flutter valve as directed. This morning, he woke up short of breath, moved to the chair, had his nebulizer treatments and went back to sleep. When he next woke up, he felt confused and SOB and thus, called EMS. EMS found patient on oxygen saturations in the ___ that improved to mid ___ on a nonrebreather. Of note, patient recently admitted in late ___ and ___ for COPD exacerbations, treated with IV lasix, steroids and azithromycin. He required short MICU stays both visits with non-invasive ventilation and non-rebreathers and was quickly weaned to NC. CT scan during admission in ___ showed no evidence of an obstructing lesion as the cause of the right middle lobe abnormalities, but there was a 2.5 cm polygonal shaped opacity adjacent to the minor fissure present since ___. They also noted ground-glass and septal thickening in the right middle lobe inferior to this level, possibly a more diffuse process. In the ED, initial vitals: 97.2 92 151/78 24 92% Non-Rebreather. - Labs notable for: WBC 8.1, chemistries HCO3 39, Cl 95, BUN 21. - CXR: RLL opacity c/w pna - He was given azithromycin and vancomycin, 80mg methylpred, ipratropium and albuterol nebs. Pleth did not improve on non-rebreather, so he was placed on bipap with improvement in saturation. On transfer, vitals were: 81 105/58 23 95% on BiPap. On arrival to the MICU, he reports feeling much improved. His breathing feels better than this morning. He was weaned quickly to non-rebreather successfully. He denies any increased cough or chest pain. He does feel a little frustrated that he has had so many infections recently requiring hospitalizations.

Mr. ___ is a ___ year-old male with a history of Meckel's diverticulum s/p small bowel resection for SBO in ___, who presented this admission to the pre-op/Emergency Department on ___ with cramping abdominal pain and nausea. CT imaging showed a small bowel obstruction with transition point near his prior anastomosis site. He was initially decompressed with nasogastric tube placement and bowel rest x 1 day prior to undergoing surgical revision of his anastomosis on hospital day 2. There were no adverse events in the operating room; please see the operative note for details. The patient was extubated, taken to the PACU until stable, then transferred to the ward for observation. He did well post-operatively and started passing flatus on POD1. His NGT was removed on POD2 and he was advanced to clears starting on POD3, which he tolerated well with return of bowel function.

___ year old male with h/o narcotic dependence who presented to OSH and noted to have severe transaminitis with elevated T.Bili in setting of reported chronic supratherapeutic tylenol ingestion. # Acute hepatitis: Most likely related to hepatitis C infection. Thought initially to be due to supratherapeutic tylenol ingestion though acetaminophen level neg on serum tox and history very questionable; NAC discontinued after approx 36hrs when HCV serology returned positive. Given unclear time course for hepatitis C infection and already positive HCV Ab, low likelihood that this represents acute hepatitis C, but no clear immunocompromised state to trigger acute hepatitis. HCV viral load very high at 20million. Pt not encephalpathic. No acidosis on ABG. No evidence of ___. INR stable. T bili uptrended to 20, transaminases remained stable initially with uptrend to high 3000 - 4000s. RUQ U/S unremarkable and without signs of cirrhosis, portal vein thrombosis or hepatic vein thrombosis. Pt went for liver biopsy ___ which showed findings c/w acute hepatitis. Pt's bili and transaminases started to downtrend. # Multiple psychiatric issues: Patient reportedly pursuing dual-diagnosis bed for anxiety on presentation to OSH ED. Reported h/o anxiety, narcotic dependence, ?IVDU. Pt with inconsistent behavior and interaction with staff. Fluctuating history and stories provided. Affect odd and threatening to leave AMA on multiple occasions. Poor insight into current situation. SW and Psych consulted. Started mirtazapine per psych recs with mild improvement and uptitrated to 15 QHS. Mirtazapine discontinued in setting of continued uptrend in LFTs. Pt continued to have odd behaviors and some difficult interactions with staff, including situations re: pain control and his fentanyl patch. Pt persistently denied h/o of drug use and reported he had no idea how he could have gotten HCV. # T1DM: bld glucose running high in 300s. Intensified HSSI and went up on lantus (home dose of 30u QHS). # Recent traumatic injury to R hand requiring surgery with pin placement. In setting of prolonged hospitalization, R hand xray done and spoke with hand surgery, who did not want to intervene because of uncertainty regarding surgery done at OSH. Spoke with OSH hand surgeon who recommended continuing dressings and close f/u at discharge.

She indicates that following her discharge she was slowly improving, she was more functional, walking around with O2 tank and nasal cannula and continuing the steroids, however the day of presentation she developed worsening shortness of breath and non-productive cough which was not improving with nebulizer treatments. She reports feeling unable to get a breath but denies frank chest pain or pressure, no sputum production, no fevers or chills. The only new symptom on this presentation was cough which she reports was not present previously. She called EMS as the symptoms continued to deteriorate and they found her tachypneic to 35 with O2 sats of 82% on supplemental O2, she was started on CPAP in the field and transferred to the ED. In the ED, initial vitals were: 99.1 113 ___ 29 94% bipap. While in the ED they were unable to wean from BiPAP and an ICU bed was requested. With frequent nebulizer treatments eventually she was weaned off BiPAP to 6L NC and bed switched from ICU to floor. Her labs were notable for a leukocytosis and VBG with respiratory acidosis. On the floor, she continues to feel dyspneic, having trouble completing full sentences. When walking to bathroom from her bed her oxygen saturations dropped to 64% for which she was put on 6L NC and brought back to bed but it took 4 minutes to recover back to >90% on ___ NC.

___ w/ obesity, OSA on CPAP, and COPD (on home O2) readmitted for COPD exacerbation. # Acute COPD exacerbation # Acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure # Morbid obesity, potentially with component of obesity hypoventilation syndrome # OSA on home CPAP Recurrent symptoms following completion of antibiotics and steroids. She had worsening symptoms, increased sputum production and increased O2 requirement all consistent with COPD exacerbation. She reported rhinorrhea and dry cough, so an upper respiratory virus was suspected as the inciting factor. CTPA ruled out intercurrent acute pulmonary pathologies such as PE or pneumonia. We attempted to manage her conservatively by simply restarting PO steroids and giving frequent nebs, but she decompensated further and was started on IV Solumedrol 125 mg TID for two days. She was also restarted on doxycycline BID and completed a seven day course. Her nocturnal CPAP was continued and she was given increased nasal cannula oxygen as needed. The patient was concerned that her breathing was too poor to allow her to return home to her relatively independent living situation. She elected to be discharged to pulmonary rehab. Her O2 requirements steadily declined to 4L/min via NC, only slightly up from her baseline of 3L/min.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: falls Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: (obtained from wife as patient not able to state history) ___ right handed with PMH of bipolar disorder, epilepsy, diabetes, HTN, HLD, and ?possible ___ disease who presented to the ED s/p multiple falls and worsening mobility. He has been a patient of Dr ___ ___. He was most recently seen in clinic by Dr ___ on ___. At that visit there was concern that some of his tremor may be due to olanzapine and valproate. Exam was notable for tremor of ___ in the fingers which was 'not as rhythmic as a typical Parkinsonian tremor'. However, 'his arms were found to be quite rigid, with increased tone with movement. Also, his eye movements were somewhat saccadic to either side and quite limited in upgaze.' He also had occasional episodes of confusion which were thought to be due to presyncopal events or hypoglycemia. The plan was to gradually increase lamotrigine to 300mg qd (150 bid) with the intention of lowering valproate to 500mg qd (250 bid). His psychiatrist was also requested to stop his home olanzapine so that he could start Sinemet. Since that clinic visit, wife states his symptoms have significantly worsened. Prior to that visit, the patient was able to walk independently (albeit with shuffling gait). Since that time, his symptoms have gotten progressively worse, with the most significant change over the last ___ weeks. He started having to use a walker both at home and at the ___ he goes to 5 days a week. Additionally, he has had ___ falls since the clinic visit, at least 2 with head strike (whereas previously, he would fall ~once/week). Per the wife, most of the falls occur when he initiates walking or when he has just taken a few steps. This occurs even though she has him stand still for a few moments before he starts to move. Per wife, he knows he is unbalanced, but "just doesn't know how to fix it'. She denies seeing his knees buckle, stating "he just falls, and falls hard". He does not trip over objects. He has never complained of lightheadedness or dizziness, palpitations, SOB, or cough. Wife states that she and the patient visited ___ (starting last ___ and returning ___ of presentation to the ED). She thinks that the unfamiliar setting may have exacerbated some of his symptoms. He had to be wheelchaired to the plane, and after that she had to 'push' him into his seat. While in ___, their son had to carry him from place to place because he just wouldn't walk. Wife thinks some of this reluctance may be fear of falling (patient would say "I'm going to fall" over and over again). He even feels like he is about to fall when sitting on the toilet. Per wife, his BP has not been an issue. However, patient has also become incontinent of urine over the past week, which may be partially due to him not being able to get to the bathroom in time. Other concerns include decreased food intake (patient's tremor has gotten worse to the point where he has trouble feeding himself). Short term memory has been a chronic issue as well, although wife states his current mental status is his baseline. Per wife, memory has been deteriorating over years; he keeps asking the same questions over and over again. He was hospitalized at ___ this ___ after an episode of seeing purple dots and having clammy skin. Per wife, he has had multiple episodes in the past of clamminess which was initially attributed to presyncopal episodes and possible hypoglycemia; however wife states she checked glucose during these episodes and it was not low. At ___, he received a brain MRI as they were concerned about stroke. Wife does not remember what the results were. Since his last clinic visit, per wife he now takes lamotrigine 150mg BID and valproic acid ___ BID (will switch to 250mg BID this ___. He also stopped taking olanzapine a week ago. He was supposed to start taking Sinemet, but ended up coming to the ED. His wife is concerned about his worsening symptoms over the past 2 weeks which is why she brought him to the ED. No other medication changes than what was mentioned above. Per outpatient clinic notes, he was first noted to have hand tremor in ___. In ___, his wife noticed a slight shuffling gait, balance problems, and hunched posture. He fell at least once during this time. Later in ___ his wife noticed that he was drooling occasionally and his facial expressions looked more flat. His psychiatrist tried prescribing propranolol, which did not help his symptoms. In late ___, the tremors became worse to the point where he couldn't eat or drink properly. This may have been related to his lithium and AED medications as the symptoms improved when the medication doses were decreased. However, he also had trouble with short term memory and sleep. For example, he would wake up confused at unusual hours of the night and then would be sleepy during the day. Regarding his epilepsy, he has had a history of seizures since he was a teenager. Per clinic note, his seizures may involve seeing spots in front of his eyes, although wife is not really sure. He may have had a GTC in ___ (wife found him lying in bed, having urinated himself). No seizures since then. In the ED, he received a CT C/T/L spine as well as head CT which were unremarkable other than moderate DJD.

___ right handed with PMH of bipolar disorder, epilepsy, diabetes, HTN, and HLD who presented to the ED s/p multiple falls over the past 2 weeks and worsening mobility. Exam notable for masked facies, cognitive impairment, limited upgaze, cogwheel rigidity in BUEs, left sided UE weakness in UMN pattern, tremor kinetic > postural> resting, and gait abnormality. CT spine imaging is notable for acute T12 compression fracture. Neurosurgery spine was consulted and recommended conservative management. MR brain unremarkable. MR ___ spine notable for severe cervical spinal stenosis. His left UE weakness, urinary incontinence, ___ hyperreflexia, and upgoing toe can be explained by cervical stenosis. However, his gait is not clearly spastic and his neck rigidity and cognitive impairment cannot be explained by this. Ortho spine consulted and believe he is a surgical candidate. Plan to follow up in spine clinic to discuss this option. Okay for patient to participate in ___. Patient should continue to wear soft cervical collar. There was mild improvement in his symptoms after initiation of Sinemet. Plan to continue this for at least 2 weeks to assess response. On ___, we did a trial of IV Lorazepam to determine whether this could lead to improvement. It led to significant improvement in his tone transiently, which supports spasticity (which could be secondary to a stiff person syndrome) or oppositional paratonia (gegenhalten), and less likely rigidity secondary to a Parkinsonian syndrome. His overall picture is somewhat unclear at this time. it is likely that his symptoms are multifactorial and related to both atypical ___ syndrome plus cervical spinal stenosis. Also on the differential is stiff person syndrome. Although typically cognition is not involved. GAD ab testing sent and pending at time of discharge. Outpatient EMG ordered.

Axial T2 imaging was performed. Axial GRE images of the cervical spine were performed. After the uneventful administration of Gadavist contrast agent, additional axial and sagittal T1 images were obtained. COMPARISON: MRI whole spine dated ___. FINDINGS: CERVICAL: There is a pronounced fluid signal intensity centered at right C3-4 facet joint with underlying cortical margin irregularities and with associated locoregional paraspinal muscles T2 STIR hyperintense signal intensity with corresponding postcontrast enhancement; described findings are highly suspicious of facet joint septic arthritis with secondary opposing osseous structures osteomyelitis and myositis given the patient's clinical history. There is edema like signal intensity involving C3 and C4 ipsilateral posterior elements extending to vertebral bodies with postcontrast enhancement raising concern of inflammatory/infectious process extension. The left facet joint at the same level and both C3 and C4 hemivertebra is relatively spared. The C3-C4 disc show normal signal intensity height and no abnormal postcontrast enhancement. Only sagittal T1 post-contrast were obtained with significantly degraded by motion artifact. There is minimal circumferential epidural thickening with corresponding postcontrast enhancement, however this is without corresponding signal abnormality on the remaining axial T2, sagittal STIR or T2 sequences and is felt to be likely artifactual. Close attention on follow-up is recommended. There is less than 2 mm prevertebral fluid signal intensity up to lower C4 endplate level; underlying postcontrast enhancement cannot be excluded. Alignment of the cervical spine is maintained. There are essentially unchanged multilevel disc degenerative disease evidenced by endplate irregularities, disc desiccation, disc osteophytosis, facet arthropathy and Schmorl's nodule formation. There are multilevel spondylitic spinal canal stenosis most severe at level C4-C5; unchanged since previous examination. Cervical cord and cervicomedullary junction show normal signal intensity and volume. THORACIC: Vertebral body height and alignment is preserved. The disc spaces are maintained. There is no epidural collection. The thoracic cord appears normal in caliber and configuration. Unchanged mild degenerative changes affecting thoracic spine. Unchanged T2 STIR hyperintense signal intensity with corresponding T1 hypointensity of anterior superior endplate of T12; stable since previous examination; could represent ___ lesions. Bilateral glenohumeral joint effusions are unchanged, partially visualized on scout images. LUMBAR: Postsurgical changes after L4-L5 and L5-S1 laminectomies are noted. There is no epidural collection. Unchanged grade 1 retrolisthesis of L4 on L5. Vertebral body height and alignment is otherwise preserved. There is mild degenerative disc disease predominantly along the lower lumbar spine with grossly preserved disc space heights; unchanged. Bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits. The conus medullaris and cauda equina fibers show normal signal intensity and size. At L1-L2 and L2-L3, there is no significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. At L3-L4, there is a disc bulge, bilateral facet joint arthropathy and moderate ligamentum flavum thickening, mild spinal canal stenosis and moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing. At L4-L5, there is a disc bulge, facet joint arthropathy with moderate bilateral facet joint effusions and severe ligamentum flavum thickening, moderate spinal canal stenosis. There are severe right and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. Findings are not significantly changed from the prior exam. At L5-S1, there is diffuse disc bulge with no significant spinal canal stenosis. There are bilateral moderate neural foraminal narrowing; worse on the right side. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval development of right C3-C4 facet joint effusion with marrow edema extending to the right lateral vertebral bodies. There is prominent surrounding enhancing paraspinal muscle edema pattern as well as high signal of the interspinous ligaments extending from the occiput to C6-C7 levels.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH HISTORY: Hemoptysis. Question pneumonia. COMPARISONS: No prior dedicated chest radiography or CT imaging available. I-131 scan from ___ included CT images of the chest obtained for SPECT-CT imaging. TECHNIQUE: Chest, portable AP upright. FINDINGS: The heart is at the upper limits of normal size. The mediastinal and hilar contours are unremarkable aside from vague fullness of the right superior mediastinum which probably reflects a known right suprahilar nodule. Throughout each lung, multiple nodules of medium size are noted that are consistent with known metastatic disease. Streaky left basilar opacity suggests minor atelectasis in the lingula. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: Multiple nodules suggesting metastatic disease, difficult to compare directly to the prior study, but compatible with prior findings. Radiology Report HISTORY: Large amount of hemoptysis. Assess for metastatic cancer in lungs with active extravasation versus pulmonary embolism. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___, ___ Scan ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained from the suprasternal notch to the upper abdomen with early arterial phase scanning after the administration of 100 cc of Omnipaque. Multiplanar reformatted images in coronal and sagittal axes were generated. Oblique MIP's were prepared in an independent workstation. DLP: 612.27 mGy-cm FINDINGS: CT Thorax: Innumerable bilateral pulmonary masses are consistent with known metastatic disease. Largest measuring 2.7 x 1.6 cm (3:76), which is substantially increased. Multiple small to moderate bilateral hilar lymph nodes noted, difficult to compare directly to the prior non-contrast CT examination. Tree in ___ appearance in left lower lobe with patchy areas in the right middle and right lower lobe is most likely bronchopneumonia, however may represent sequelae of hemorrhage. Aerosolized secretions in the trachea and left mainstem bronchus may represent aspiration or sequelae of hemorrhage in the appropriate clinical setting. Diffuse bronchial wall thickening is noted. There is no mediastinal or axillary lymph node enlargement by CT size criteria. The heart, pericardium, and great vessels are within normal limits. A small hiatal hernia is seen. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax seen. CTA Thorax: The aorta and main thoracic vessels are well opacified. The aorta demonstrates normal caliber throughout the thorax without intramural hematoma or dissection. The pulmonary arteries are opacified to the segmental level. No filing defect to suggest pulmonary embolism. No arteriovenous malformation seen. No active extravasation of contrast. Osseous structures: No blastic or lytic lesions suspicious for malignancy. Although this study is not designed for assessment of intra-abdominal structures, the visualized solid organs and stomach are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism or aortic dissection. 2. Many bilateral pulmonary masses which have slightly increased since ___ and are consistent with known metastatic disease. Largest measures 2.7 cm within the right hila. No active extravasation of contrast. 3. Tree in ___ appearance in left lower lobe with patchy areas in the right middle and right lower lobe is most likely bronchopneumonia, however may represent sequelae of hemorrhage. Aerosolized secretions in the trachea and left mainstem bronchus may represent aspiration or sequelae of hemorrhage in the appropriate clinical setting. Updated results were conveyed via telephone by ___ to Dr. ___, ___ on ___. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year-old man with metastatic papillary thyroid cancer (mets to lung) p/w hemoptysis, s/p IP bronchoscopy ___ w/ LLL clot but no active bleed, continuing to have hemoptysis overnight, requesting ___ evaluation and management // please evaluate for L bronchial artery bleed and embolise if appropriate. COMPARISON: CTA chest from ___. TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ ___ resident) and Dr. ___ ___ radiology attending) performed the procedure. The attending, Dr. ___ was present and supervising throughout the procedure. ANESTHESIA: General anesthesia. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 97.3 minutes, ___ mGy. PROCEDURE: 1. Right common femoral artery access. 2. Common bronchial trunk arteriogram. 3. Left bronchial artery arteriogram. 4. Right bronchial artery arteriogram. 5. Bilateral bronchial embolization using 300-500 micron Embosphere particles. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and positioned supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. Both groins was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral artery was punctured using a micropuncture set at the level of the mid-femoral head. A permanent ultrasound image of the patent and compressible right common femoral artery was saved to the PACS. A 0.018 inch wire was passed into the vessel lumen. A small skin incision was made over the needle. The inner dilator and wire were removed, and ___ wire was advanced under fluoroscopy into the aorta. The micropuncture sheath was exchanged for a 5 ___ sheath which was attached to a continuous heparinized saline side arm flush. A 5 ___ Omniflush catheter was used to advance the wire over the aortic bifurcation to form the 5 ___ ___. The ___ catheter was used to selectively catheterize a left bronchial artery arising from the aorta. A bronchial arteriogram was performed which demonstrated supply to bronchi in the left mid and upper lung. A Renegade ___ catheter was advanced into the left bronchial artery with a Transend microwire and embolization to stasis was performed using 300-500 micron Embosphere particles. Subsequently, the ___ catheter was used to selectively catheterze a common bronchial artery and an arteriogram was performed. The Renegade ___ catheter was advanced into the right bronchial artery with the aid of a Transend wire and embolization to stasis was performed using 300-500 micron Embosphere particles. The left bronchial artery arising from the common artery could not be selectively catheterized. The catheter and sheath were removed. Manual pressure was held until hemostasis was achieved. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well, and there were no immediate post-procedure complications FINDINGS: 1. Left bronchial artery demonstrating hypervascular supply to bronchi in the left mid and upper lung. This vessel was embolized to stasis. 2. Common bronchial artery with single right and left branches. 3. The right bronchial branch of the common bronchial artery demonstrted two areas of hypervascular supply. This vesselswas embolized to stasis. 4. The left bronchial artery arising just beyond the origin of the common bronchial trunk demonstrated hypervascular supply to mid and lower bronchi. This vessel could not be catheteriezed. IMPRESSION: 1. Embolization of a left upper bronchial artery and a right bronchial artery. 2. A left lower bronchial artery arising from a common bronchial trunk could not be catheterized. RECOMMENDATION: A left lower bronchial artery arising from a common bronchial trunk could not be catheterized. As this was the area in which blood was seen on bronchoscopy, repeat attempt at catherization may be considered if the patient's hemoptysis continues.

Admitted to MICU ___ - ___ due to hemoptysis. #Hemoptysis: Patient was evaluated by IP in the ED for his known pulmonary masses without evidence of active extravasation. He was put on BP control to SBP<150 and underwent scheduled bronchoscopy with Interventional Pulmonology, which showed no bleeding but did show a clot in the left lower lobe. He was given 1 day of CTX and azithromycin for initial concern for CAP, but these were d/c'd after further evaluation. He continued to have hemoptysis, so he was taken for bronchial artery embolization by interventional radiology, who embolized the right bronchial and accessory left bronchial arteries. The left bronchial artery could not be cannulated. After the procedure, the patient had some upper back pain, likely from post-embolization necrosis. His hemoptysis resolved. His hematocrit never fell, he never had hypoxia, and he was never hemodynamically unstable. #Hypertension: Requires strict BP control in the setting of his hemoptysis. Home atenolol and triamterene-HCTZ were continued for hypertension. He was given labetalol PRN for SBP >150. His triamterene-HCTZ was held on the day of embolization to avoid contrast-induced nephropathy. #Metastatic Thyroid Cancer: Patient with known thyroid cancer s/p radioactive iodine with known mets to the lungs. TSH 0.94, T4 8.1, fT4 1.4, anti-tg <20, thyroglobulin 22. Patient's longstanding endocrinologist visited him. Inpatient endocrinology was also consulted and increased his synthroid from 175 mcg to 200 mcg for TSH suppression. Hematology/oncology was also consulted and agreed with ___ evaluation as above, with radiation oncology eval if hemoptysis recurs. He will follow up with his outpatient endocrinology for further management of his cancer.

The corresponding cytogenetic analysis shows a normal female karyotype without recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities (see separate complete report ___-___). Molecular analysis is underway. MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION. ASPIRATE SMEAR: The aspirate material is for evaluation and consists of multiple cellular spicules. Numerous blasts are seen that are large in size with slightly irregular nuclear contours, one or more prominent nucleoli, and mild to moderate amount of cytoplasm. Few granules present in the cytoplasm with rare Auer rods. Erythroid precursors are seen and have normoblastic maturation. Rare maturing myeloid precursors are seen. Rare megakaryocytes are seen. A 300 cell differential shows 65% blasts, 1% myelocytes, 1% bands/neutrophils, 2% eosinophils, 30% erythroids, 1% lymphocytes. CLOT SECTION and BIOPSY SLIDES: The core biopsy material is adequate for evaluation. Focal aspiration artifact is present. It consists of a 1.5 cm long core biopsy with skeletal muscle, periosteum and trabecular marrow with a cellularity of 30%. There is an interstitial infiltrate of mononuclear cells, consistent with blasts occupying 90% of overall cellularity. The limited remaining hematopoiesis is comprised of erythroid precursors, along with rare maturing myeloid precursors and eosinophils. Megakaryocytes are deceased in number. Clot sections show similar findings. SPECIAL STAINS: Iron stain performed on aspirate material is adequate for evaluation. Storage iron is present. Occasional sideroblasts are seen and ringed sideroblasts are not present. IMMUNOPHENOTYPING: FLOW CYTOMETRY REPORT The following tests (antibodies) were performed: ___, Kappa, Lambda and CD antigens 2,3,4,5,7,8,10,11c,13,14,16,19,20,23,33,34,38,45,56,64,117, nTdT, cMPO, cCD79a, cCD3, cCD22. RESULTS: 10-color analysis with linear side scatter vs. CD45 gating is used to evaluate for leukemia. 95% of total acquired events, are evaluable non-debris events. The viability of the analyzed non-debris events, done by 7-AAD is 99.6%. CD45-bright, low side-scatter gated lymphocytes comprise 7% of total analyzed events. B cells comprise 14% of lymphoid gated events, are polyclonal, and do not express aberrant antigens. T cells comprise 51% of lymphoid gated events and express mature lineage antigens CD3, CD5, CD2 and CD7. CD56 positive, CD3 negative natural-killer cells represent 28% of gated lymphocytes. Cell marker analysis demonstrates that the majority (86%) of the cells isolated from this peripheral blood are in the CD45 dim/low side-scatter "blast" region. They express immature anitgens CD34 (subset), ___ (___), and CD117, along with CD7, CD13 (minor subset dim), CD38 and cMPO, and are negative for CD33, the remaining B and T cell associated surface antigens evaluated and CD14, CD16, CD56, CD64, nTdT, cCD79a, cCD3, and cCD22. INTERPRETATION Immunophenotypic findings consistent with involvement by acute myeloid leukemia. Correlation with clinical and other ancillary findings is recommended. Flow cytometry immunophenotyping may not detect all abnormal populations due to topography, sampling or artifacts of sample preparation. CYTOGENETIC DIAGNOSIS: 46,XX[20] Normal female karyotype. FISH: NEGATIVE MDS PANEL. No evidence of interphase bone marrow cells with the common cytogenetic abnormalities observed in myelodysplastic syndrome. These include deletion 5q31 and monosomy 5, deletion 7q31 and monosomy 7, trisomy 8, and deletion 20q12. BM Biopsy (___): PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS: SPECIMEN: BONE MARROW ASPIRATE AND CORE BIOPSY DIAGNOSIS:CELLULAR ERYTHROID DOMINANT BONE MARROW WITH TRILINEAGE MATURING HEMATOPOIESIS AND INCREASED BLASTS IN THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD ONLY, SEE NOTE. NOTE: It is unusual in this case that a significant number of blasts are seen in the peripheral blood but not in the bone marrow. The latter was confirmed by immunostain for CD34. Still, by WHO criteria, this represents persistent acute myeloid leukemia. MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION Peripheral blood smear: The smear is adequate for evaluation. Erythrocytes are decreased and normocytic and had slight anisopoikilocytosis including scattered elliptocytes. The white blood cell count is markedly decreased and frequent myeloblasts are seen. Platelet count appears markedly decreased. Large and giant platelets are not seen. A 100 cell differential shows 39% myeloblasts, 5% neutrophils, 5% bands, 39% lymphocytes, 10% monocytes, 1% eosinophils, 0% basophils. Bone marrow aspirate: The aspirate material is adequate and consists of multiple cellular spicules. The M:E ratio is 0.28:1. Erythroid precursors are relatively proportionately increased in number and have normoblastic maturation. Myeloid precursors are relatively proportionately decrased in number and show left-shifted maturation with increased blasts . Megakaryocytes are increased in number. Abnormal forms are seen including occasional hypolobated cells, micromegakaryocytes with widely spaced and disjointed nuclei, large. A 300 cell differential shows 6% blasts, 0% promyelocyts, 8% myelocytes, 1% metamyelocytes, 1% bands/neutrophils, 3% eosinophils, 67% erythroids, 13% lymphocytes, 1% plasma cells. Clot section and biopsy slides: The core biopsy material is suboptimal for evaluation due to small size. It consists of a 0.5 cm long core biopsy of trabecular marrow cortical bone and periosteum with a cellularity of ___. The M:E ratio estimate is decreased. Erythroid precursors are relatively proportionately increased in number and have overall normoblastic maturation. Myeloid precursors are relatively proportionately decreased in number with maturation. Megakaryocytes are present. FLOW CYTOMETRY REPORT FLOW CYTOMETRY IMMUNOPHENOTYPING The following tests (antibodies) were performed: ___, nTdT, cMPO, cCD79a, cCD3, cCD22, and CD antigens 7,11b,13,14,16,19,33,34,45,64, and 117. RESULTS: 10-color analysis with linear side scatter vs. CD45 gating is used to evaluate for leukemia. A subset of the acquired events are in the low light scatter cell debris/lysed cell region with nondebris cells comprising 81% of total acquired events. The viability of the analyzed non-debris events, done by 7-AAD is 88%. A limited panel is performed to look for residual disease. CD45-bright, low side-scatter gated lymphocytes comprise 17% of total analyzed events. Of these, CD19(+) B cells comprise 15% of lymphoid gated events. Cell marker analysis demonstrates that a significant subset (49%) of the cells isolated from this bone marrow are in the CD45-dim/low side-scatter "blast" region. They express immature antigens CD34 (subset; 34% of CD45dim gated events, ~16% of total), ___ ___ ~50% of gated, 25% of total), myeloid associated antigens CD117, CD33(dim, subset), CD13 (minor subset), cMPO, as well as nTdT (subset) and lymphoid associated antigens CD7 (subset). They lack other T cell associated (cCD3), B-cell associated (cCD79, cCD22) antigens and are negative for CD14 or CD11b. CD117(+), CD45dim, low side-scatter blast cells comprise ~40% of total analyzed events. CD34(+) blasts are 16%.

Several bilateral axillary lymph nodes are prominent but appear to maintain their normal fatty hila. No pathologically enlarged axillary, supraclavicular, mediastinal, or hilar lymph nodes. No mediastinal mass. A fat-containing right posterior medial diaphragmatic hernia is small (series 6, image 43; series 4, image 259; series 7, image 24). Detailed evaluation of the lung parenchyma is limited secondary to respiratory and cardiac motion artifact. Pulmonary micronodules in the right upper and middle lobes measure under 3 mm (series 4, image 113, 161). No pulmonary edema, focal consolidation concerning for infection, or suspicious pulmonary mass. The airways are patent to at least the subsegmental level. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The thyroid is not enlarged but is heterogeneous with several hypodense nodules, the largest measuring up to 1.3 cm in the left lobe (series 3, image 9). This exam is not dedicated for imaging of the breasts for which mammography would be required. However, there is a 5-mm soft tissue nodule in the right mid central outer breast at mid depth (series 3, image 39; series 6, image 15). No osseous lesions concerning for malignancy or infection in the bony thoracic cage. Multi-level degenerative changes are most prominent in a lower thoracic spine with prominent anterior osteophytes. No fracture. Please refer to the dedicated CT abdomen and pelvis report from the same day for a description of sub-diaphragm findings. IMPRESSION: 1. No pneumonia. 2. Sub 3-mm right middle and upper lobe pulmonary micronodules. Follow-up chest CT in ___ year if the patient is high risk. 3. 5-mm right mid central and outer breast lesion could be a cyst. Further evaluation with mammography non-emergently is recommended if clinically indicated. 4. 1.3-cm thyroid nodule. Given the size <1.5 cm and the patient's age, no specific follow-up is needed if the patient is not deemed high risk. If the patient is high risk, further evaluation non-emergently with ultrasound is recommended. 5. Anemia. This preliminary report was reviewed with Dr. ___ radiologist. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. Follow-up chest CT in ___ year for right lobe pulmonary micronodules <4 mm if the patient is high risk. Otherwise, no follow-up is needed. 2.

COMPARISON: None available. TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___, attending radiologist performed the procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 75 mcg of fentanyl and 1.5 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 30 during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: Cefazolin 1 g. CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 1.9 min, 1 mGy PROCEDURE 1. Left internal jugular approach chest single lumen Port-a-cath placement PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent left internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire was then passed distally into the IVC. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 2.5 cm transverse incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt dissection. The single lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found. The port was then placed in the subcutaneous pocket and secured with ___ Prolene sutures on either side. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed over the ___ wire through which the port was threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled away. The subcutaneous pocket was closed in layers with ___ interrupted and ___ subcuticular continuous Vicryl sutures. Vicryl sutures and Dermabond were used to close the venotomy incision site. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The port was accessed using a non coring ___ needle and could be aspirated and flushed easily. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complication. The port was left accessed as requested. FINDINGS: Patent left internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing port with catheter tip terminating in the right atrium.

Assess for intracranial hemorrhage. COMPARISONS: ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired contiguous images through the head were obtained at 5 mm slice thickness. Coronally and sagittally reformatted images are provided. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures. There is no cerebral edema or loss of gray-white matter differentiation to suggest an acute ischemic event. Sulci and ventricles are slightly prominent, likely age-related involutional changes. The basal cisterns are patent. There is no evidence of herniation. Mucous retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus is partially imaged. Otherwise, imaged paranasal sinuses. Mild opacification of the left mastoid air cells is noted. No acute fracture is seen. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. Radiology Report INDICATION: Left-sided weakness and numbness. Assess for pneumonia. COMPARISONS: ___. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest demonstrate low lung volumes without pleural effusion, focal consolidation or pneumothorax. Hilar and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. The heart is normal in size. There is no pulmonary edema. Vascular calcifications involving the aortic arch and the descending aorta are noted. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN WITHOUT CONTRAST, AND MRA NECK WITH/WITHOUT CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, who presents with left sided numbness. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted, and axial T2 weighted, FLAIR, gradient echo, and diffusion-weighted images of the brain were obtained. 3D time-of-flight MRA of the brain was obtained with multiplanar maximum intensity projection angiographic reformatted images. 2D time-of-flight MRA of the neck was obtained with multiplanar maximal intensity projection angiographic reformatted images. 3D coronal T1 weighted gradient echo imaging of the neck was obtained before, during, and after intravenous gadolinium administration with multiplanar maximum intensity projection angiographic reformatted images. COMPARISON: Noncontrast head CT from earlier on ___. Brain MRI and MRA without contrast from ___. FINDINGS: MRI BRAIN There is a small acute infarction in the right thalamus and a small acute infarction at the junction of the right midbrain and pons, both of which demonstrate seen high signal on T2 weighted and FLAIR images. There is no evidence for associated blood products. An oval focus subcentimeter focus of high signal on T2 weighted and FLAIR images in the left thalamus is consistent with a chronic infarct, given the high signal on FLAIR images, rather than a large Virchow ___ space. There are multiple small foci of high T2 signal in the deep and periventricular white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, as well as in the pons bilaterally, likely sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient with known cardiovascular risk factors. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size for age. There are large mucous retention cysts almost completely opacifying the left maxillary sinus. MRA NECK There is a 3 vessel aortic arch. Common carotid, cervical internal carotid, and vertebral arteries appear patent without evidence of hemodynamically significant stenoses. MRA BRAIN The images are limited by motion artifact. The intracranial internal carotid and vertebral arteries, and their major branches, appear patent without evidence of hemodynamically significant stenoses or aneurysms. There is an ___ complex on the right and a patent ___ on the left. IMPRESSION: Two small acute infarctions in the right thalamus and at the junction of the right midbrain and pons. Unremarkable MRA of the neck and brain.

#STROKE Ms. ___ is a ___ old right handed woman with history of HTN, HLD, DM II, obesity who presented to ___ with left arm/face/leg numbness and tingling. A CT scan was done in the ER, which showed no acute intracranial abnormality. Her exam was notable for decreased sensation to cold, pin prick, light touch in the left face/arm/leg as well as some weakness on the left in an upper motor neuron pattern. She was admitted to the stroke service, where an MRI was performed and demonstrated two strokes - in the right thalamus and in the brainstem. MRA brain and neck did not show intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis. Given her uncontrolled DM as well as HTN and HLD as well as the location of the strokes, the etiology was thought to be likely small vessel disease. She was continued on ASA 81 ___s her home simvastatin 40mg daily. As part of risk factor screening, a TTE with bubbles was performed which did not show a shunt or an intracardiac thrombus. It did, however, show mild LVH. Telemetry showed sinus rhythm. Her HbAIC was 9.6, her LDL was 204. In the setting of acute stroke, her blood pressure was allowed to autoregulate (goal SBP 120-200) and her home antihypertensives were held. These can be resumed upon discharge from the stroke service as needed to maintain normotension. Family was given stroke education and stroke information packet. #DM Ms. ___ has a history of longstanding uncontrolled DM and is on oral hypoglycemics as well as insulin at home. She was placed on an ISS inpatient as well as her home lantus dose of 32. Her HbA1C was noted to be 9.6 and ___ was consulted to optimize her ISS and recommended increasing coverage at breakfast as well as increasing her lantus dose to 35. Her fingersticks were in 200s with this regimen and Metformin home dose was added prior to discharge. She will require outpatient optimization of her home glycemic regimen given her uncontrolled DM. #ID Her urine showed some white cells but she was not symptomatic, so no antibiotics were initiated. If she develops urinary urgency or dysuria or symptoms of UTI, please consider UA and UTI treatment. #REHAB Ms. ___ was evaluated by physical therapy who determined that she is at high risk for deconditioning and would most benefit from discharge to interdisciplinary rehababiliation to maximize functional status. She was discharged in stable condition and has follow up appointments scheduled with Stroke neurology as well as her primary care doctor. ============================================================ AHA/ASA Core Measures for Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack 1.

Patient had two witnessed episdoes of body shaking, in the setting of ambulating. Several days ago, son saw pt walking up a flight of stairs, he suddenly grabbed ahold of the bannister, lower and upper extremities shaking (<~1 min), no fall. Also, on morning of admission, wife states that pt was walking out to the deck and called out to her. She saw him grab the railing, upper extremities shaking (~45 sec). He returned to baseline w/o fall within ___ sec. Wife reports that episodes are similar in nature but less severe then seizure-like event in ___. After the witnessed episode, she decided to bring him to the ED. This occured in the setting of two weeks of documented hypotension (BP's in the ___ as reported by physical terapists) and poor fluid intake, with titration of metoprolol to 25mg BID (switched from atenolol). Of note: MVA ___, complicated by progressive cognitive decline, anxiety, and depression. In ___, pt experiened ~20secs of upper extremity shaking. No LOC, no fall, no urinary incontinence, no tongue biting, no immediate postictal-like state. Later in the evening took a nap, awoke very disoriented. Presented to OSH and empirically started on Keppra 500mg BID for a suspected seizure, no EEG obtained at the time. Following ___ episode, pt reported as "chronically encephalopathic"--inattentive, often staring off into space, confusing his wife for his deceased mother, developed urinary incontinence. Pt switched to brand-name levetiracetam at 1500mg BID and phenytoin 300mg, improvement reported by family but intermitent, widely-spaced hallucinations persisted. Started being seen by ___ neuro in ___ diagnosis drawn into question. Phenytoin stopped, levetiracetam 3000mg daily contd. Hallucinations have become more pronounced and frequent since ___, lasting ___ hours. Patient performs basic ADLS -- bathes, dresses, feeds himself. Puts plates in dishwasher. Does not perform IADLS. Recently got lost in ___ for 3 hours. Police were called. Patient eventually found without harm.

Additionally he reports a dry cough over the past 3+weeks, not worse around eating. He denies fever, chills, SOB. This morning on the floor, pt states that he is an undercover police detctive who came in because his chief told him to. He does not know why he is here but doesn't feel he needs to be here. He does not endorse any pain, confusion, lightheadedness, N/V, or other health complaints. He is resistant to answering questions and cooperating with physical exam. Shortly after morning rounds patient eloped from floor, found on ___ by security, brought back by ambulance. Past Medical History: - ?Seizure Disorder--refer to above - Sleep apnea->on CPAP - HTN - HLD - ?B12 deficiency - prostatic hypertrophy s/p TURP - Depression--Paroxetine 40mg PO daily - "Cardiac Problems"--Wife reports that a stress test performed at ___ resulted in an "incident."

TECHNIQUE: Chest, PA and lateral. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: The heart is borderline in size. Aside from dextropositioning, the mediastinal and hilar contours are otherwise unremarkable. Incidental note is made of an azygos fissure which is consistent with a normal variant. Mild biapical pleural thickening is consistent with minor scarring at each lung apex. The lungs appear otherwise clear. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: HEAD CT INDICATION: Recent fall and seizure. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast CT. DOSE: DLP: 891.9 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Vague areas of hypodensity in cerebral white matter bilaterally are most often associated with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Mild age-related involutional changes are characterized by mild prominence of extra-axial spaces, ventricles, and sulci. There is no mass effect, hydrocephalus or shift of normally midline structures. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. Over the right parietal region there is a small subgaleal hematoma. Otherwise, surrounding soft tissue structures are unremarkable. Vascular calcifications are particularly conspicuous along the vertebral and cavernous carotid arteries. No fracture is identified. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear clear. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ yo M with rapidly progressive dementia, now presenting with delirium. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted, and axial T2 weighted, FLAIR, gradient echo, and diffusion-weighted images of the brain were obtained. COMPARISON: CT head ___. FINDINGS: There is no edema, acute infarction, mass effect, or evidence for blood products in the brain parenchyma. There is moderate brain parenchymal volume loss with associated prominence of the ventricles and sulci. All components of the right lateral ventricle are slightly larger than the left, suggesting developmental or congenital etiology. There are multiple foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the subcortical, deep, and periventricular white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, and in the pons, which are nonspecific though likely sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease the patient of this age. There is mild bilateral maxillary sinus mucosal thickening. Incidental note is made of a nasopalatine duct cyst. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of an acute intracranial abnormality. 2. Moderate parenchymal volume loss. Extensive signal abnormalities in the supratentorial white matter and pons, likely sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of this age.

___ year old man w/ a hx of progressive cognitive decline ___ TBI and questionable seizure diagnosis presenting now with episodes of upper and lower extremity shaking on standing/walking x2 weeks, likely attributable to orthostatic hypotension. Review of OMR documentation in light of altered mental status on floor indicates underlying, undiagnosed dementia with overlying delirium in the setting of hospitalization. # Orthostatic Hypotension: Episodes of shaking upon standing/walking in setting of poor PO intake and documented hypotension, consistent with orthostatic hypotension. Neurology evaluated, concurs that episodes are not consistent with seizures. In hospital, increased oral intake. No episodes of hypotension, falls, shaking. Recommend monitor blood pressures as outpatient and encourage increased fluid intake at home. # Dementia: Pt's wife reports progressive cognitive decline, memory difficulties, inattentiveness, hallucinations since MVA in ___, worsening over past few months. Consistent with dementia. Subtype ddx: alzheimers vs vascular ___ Body dementia. Neurology evaluated patient in the hospital. Neuropsychology testing scheduled as an outpatient, will need to follow-up at this appointment for further evaluation. As outpatient, needs follow-up B12, folate, RPR as reversible dementia work-up. Needs follow-up MRI results. # DELIRIUM: Mental status waxing and waning, complicated by hallucinations and delusions, during inpatient course. CXR negative and urinalysis not consistent with infection. No infectious etiology has been identified at this time. Oxybutinin and Clonazepam stopped as have been known to cause delirium. Possible that this is progression of dementia. # ?SEIZURE DISORDER: Unclear diagnosis. Event leading to hospitalization was not a seizure. Follow-up appointment with outpatient neurologist for further analysis. # Hypertension: Metoprolol stopped in setting of orthostatic hypotension. Blood pressure stable and heart rate normal. No need for antihypertensives at this point. # Hyperlipidemia: Continue home Rosuvastatin Calcium 40 mg PO daily. ------------

Evaluation to the subsegmental level is limited. The diameter of the ascending aorta is again in the upper limit of normal, measuring up to 4.0 cm in diameter. There is no evidence of dissection or intramural hematoma. Otherwise, the great vessels are within normal limits. The heart is within normal limits. No substantial pericardial effusion is seen. AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: Several prominent but not pathologically enlarged paratracheal and subcarinal nodes are noted. No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy is present. No mediastinal mass is seen. PLEURAL SPACES: A posterior approach thoracostomy catheter is present within a moderately-sized loculated pleural effusion, associated with pleural enhancement. Several air locules are seen within the effusion. A trace effusion is present on the left. LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Fibrosis with numerous destructive cavitations are again seen involving the right middle lobe. Consolidations involving the right apex are similar allowing for differences in inspiratory effort. Comparison with the prior study there are multifocal airspace and patchy consolidations primarily involving the lower lobes, but also seen in the left upper lobe, predominately within the dependent portions of the lungs. The patulous trachea is patent to the level of the segmental bronchi bilaterally. BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality. ABDOMEN: Included portion of the upper abdomen a prominent gallbladder and multiple low attenuating liver lesions. BONES: Multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracic spine without suspicious osseous abnormality.? There is no acute fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. Progressive bilateral multifocal consolidations in a background of significant fibrosis and destructive changes in the right middle lobe, suggestive of multifocal pneumonia most notable in the lower lobes. Given the dependent location of these changes, this may be secondary to aspiration. 2. Persistent right loculated pleural effusion with catheter in place. 3. No evidence of pulmonary embolism to the segmental level. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: VIDEO OROPHARYNGEAL SWALLOW STUDY INDICATION: ___ year old man with recurrent pneumonia and concern for microaspiration. Evaluation for aspiration. TECHNIQUE: Oropharyngeal swallowing videofluoroscopy was performed in conjunction with the Speech-Language Pathologist from the Voice, Speech & Swallowing Service. Multiple consistencies of barium were administered. DOSE: Fluoro time: 05:14 min. COMPARISON: No relevant prior imaging for comparison. FINDINGS: Penetration with nectar thick liquids. Silent aspiration with thin liquids. IMPRESSION: 1. Silent aspiration with thin liquids. 2. Penetration with nectar thick liquids. Please note that a detailed description of dynamic swallowing as well as a summative assessment and recommendations are reported separately in a standalone note by the Speech-Language Pathologist (OMR, Notes, Rehabilitation Services).

___ years-old male with fully treated tuberculosis status post RIPE from ___ (followed by Dr. ___ at ___, last + sputum cx as ___ complicated by NSTEMIs, NSVT, history of gastric cancer (s/p resection f/b ___ and chronic low back pain recently admitted ___ and ___ for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis complicated by parapneumonic effusion s/p right-tunneled pleural catheter placement (___) on voriconazole presenting with shortness of breath, hypoxia, and syncope. Patient was found to have sepsis likely due to secondary pneumonia versus progression of invasive aspergillosis. # Shortness of breath, Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, and Sepsis # Invasive pulmonary aspergillosi; Right-sided parapneumonic effusion s/p tunneled; pleural catheter; history TB s/p RIPE: - CXR suggestive of worsening bilateral PNA. CT chest confirms progression and ongoing loculated effusion. Differential diagnosis includes superimposed bacterial/viral PNA or recurrent TB (much less likely) versus progression of known invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Repeat voriconazole level is pending at time of discharge as is fungal cultures (may take weeks). Pleural fluid not suggestive of empyema as culture negative and lactate reassuring at 2.0; however, cytology is pending. No TPA of effusion was recommended by IP given risk of bleeding to necrotic tissue. Sputum cultures including AFB not suggestive of particular pathogen, thus antibiotics were narrowed sequentially. Patient remained without clinical exacerbation off antibiotics. Discontinued IV Vancomycin with MRSA screen negative. Bronchoscopy not felt to add data and was not pursued. ID and IP managed the patient. Patient was reportedly adamant on admission that he would not want surgical intervention for persistent R-sided effusion; will not consult thoracic surgery. PleurX management to be continued on discharge. Voriconazole to be continued on discharge 150mg BID. ID will follow finalization of cultures and advise changes to voriconazole course as an outpatient. Patient continued on home albuterol PRN and home oxygen. Goals of care meeting was performed with patient and family with the assistance of palliative care, leading towards decision for Home with Hospice. Ongoing code status discussions are needed as patient remains DNR, but okay to intubate. Patient would be okay with some escalation of care, but maintains ultimate goal of comfort focus and staying at home for as long as possible - not a comfort only/withdrawal of care path at this time. # Syncope was likely vasovagal versus orthostatic in the setting of infection, dehydration, and hypoxia. Low suspicion for arrhythmia, ACS, or PE. Recent TTE ___ without significant valvular disease. Antihypertensive medications initially held, but restarted effectively. # Acute metabolic encephalopathy, likely delirium. Considered CT head to exonerate CNS aspergillus involvement especially with mild confusion, but given goals of care discussion will no pursue and family agreeable. # Hypotension related to poor intake resolved following 2L LR in ED. # Acute on chronic pain (Neck, back, knee). Neurologic exam non-focal. No spinal tenderness. Paraspinal tenderness and improvement with massage makes this likely arthritis with deconditioning due to position/lying in bed. Home oxycodone ___ mg continued based on severity of symptoms. Tylenol prescribed PRN. Initiated lidocaine patch as needed. Will not pursue spinal imaging given goals of care discussion and nontender spine. # Alkaline phosphatase elevation: Unclear etiology. Likely medication related (? voriconazole) and/or inflammatory from acute illness. Low suspicion for biliary obstruction without hyperbilirubinemia. Low suspicion for bone involvement of infection or cancer at this time. No spine imaging pursued as as acute on chronic pain and no focal tenderness on examination. # CAD and HLD: - Low suspicion for ACS in absence of chest pain, negative troponin, and no significant ischemic EKG changes. Continue statin, Metoprolol, isosorbide mononitrate. # Hx NSVT: Monitored on telemetry without significant event. On Metoprolol. # Hx gastric cancer s/p resection. EGD in ___ with biopsies without evidence of recurrence. Continue Outpatient follow up with Dr. ___ # Urinary urgency. Concern for BPH. Unable to dose Flomax given drug-drug interaction with Voriconazole. Reconsider if voriconazole is discontinued in a few weeks. Hospital course, assessment, and discharge plans discussed with patient and family who express understanding and agree with discharge.

Ms. ___ is an ___ y.o with stage IV lung CA on pemetrexed (last given ___, multiple prior PEs with IVC filter, MFAT, frequent falls/syncope (for which AC was transiently held but resumed with recurrent PE - now on lovenox) who presented with sob, productive cough. #SOB in the setting of lung cancer with recent treatment: In the ED She was found to be tachycardic, but otherwise stable. CXR and CTA without pna, new lesions, all findings were old/unchanged with reference to masses/thrombus (latter organized/reduced). She responded mostly to nebs in the ED with return of sob to baseline per patient prior to reaching the floor. No antibiotics given. Given her improvement with nebs, there is question of a component of COPD vs. bronchospasm. She was at baseline at discharge. The other likely scenario appears that this is a result of side effects of chemo given myositis type symptoms, as well as n/v for a few days prior to admission and no po intake. # Neutropenia: She reached a nadir while admitted with a WBC of 1.7 and 29% neutrophils. It was discussed with her outpatient oncologists, and though she was neutropenic she remained afebrile. Her culture data was negative, and no evidence of pneumonia on imaging. She was discharged with instructions to return to the ED for evaluation and treatment if she were to develop a fever of 100.4. # Atach and HTN: She was admitted on metoprolol tartrate TID with bursts of tachycardia when out of bed. She was changed to 50mg of metoprolol succinate BID which gave her relief of symptoms (anxiety, fatigue) so this was continued on discharge. She remained normotensive, and her HR was WNL for multiple days after this change. #Mult PE/IVC filter: She was continued on Lovenox 70mg BID #Disposition: She worked with ___ on back to back days and showed good motivation and improvement and discharge home with ___ was recommended.

___ h/o cellulitis which he has been on antibiotics or 2 months is here with diarrhea concerning for C dif in setting of antibiotic use. # Diarrhea / C. diff colitis: h/o antibiotic use for 2 months prior to onset of symptoms with stool culture C diff positive. Patient was started on oral vancomcyin 125mg q6h and given IVF. He had a decrease in frequency and volume of bowel movements at the time of discharge (5 day prior). He will be treated for 14 days, day 1: ___, end date ___. # Acute kidney injury: per Atrius records baseline Cr is 1.2-1.3 and on admission creatinine was 1.7 consistent with hypovolemia. Creatinine improved with fluids and was 1.2 (baseline) on the day of discharge. Losartan was held initially, restarted once creatinine returned to baseline. # Hypokalemia: Attributed to severe diarrhea. K was repleted daily as needed. # Hypernatremia: Patient developed mild hypernatremia to max 149 acutely related to normal saline infusions. He had no change in mental status and in addition to encouraging oral free water intake, patient was given IV D5W. Will need sodium rechecked in 2 days. # Choking/worsening weakness: Patient has h/o stroke (slow speech and R facial droop) but noted more difficulty with eating and swallowing pills during this hospital stay. Patient and brother noted this difficulty began approximately 3 d prior to admission. Speech/Swallow was consulted and performed video swallow which noted good pharyngeal swallowing, but weakness in the tongue. Given concern for acute/subacute intracranial event, a CT head without contrast was performed which showed no changes. MRI could not be performed due to pre-existing aneurysmal clips, and patient was out of window for treatment. Tongue weakness may not represent acute cerebral event, and may represent recrudescence from prior stroke. Patient did well with thin liquids; medications were made liquid where possible, and pills were crushed and dissolved in fluids. He will need Ensure TID to ensure appropriate nutrition. Foods will need to be pureed and nursing notes that when food is placed in back of mouth, patient has an easier time with swallowing. He will need ongoing speech/swallow rehabilitation to assist in regaining tongue strength. # Debilitation: Patient was independent in most ADLs at home. He has been in a motorized wheelchair for the last ___ years but also uses a cane. Likely from deconditioning, patient was unable to return to his prior baseline when working with physical therapy and rehab was recommended. # Hypertension: Home amlodipine and HCTZ was continued. Losartan was initially held due to acute kidney injury, restarted prior to discharge.

Right basilar chest tube remains in place with some right lateral chest wall subcutaneous emphysema. Suggestion of small right apical pneumothorax. Stable patchy opacity at the right base. No evidence of pulmonary edema. Overall cardiac and mediastinal contours are unchanged. Possible tiny left effusion. Bibasilar opacities likely reflect areas of atelectasis, although aspiration or pneumonia should also be considered. Results of this examination were conveyed to the patient's nurse, ___, by phone on ___ at 12:20 p.m. at the time of discovery. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ y/o M s/p mech fall seen 2 days later ___, R rib fx ___, hemothorax and pulm contusion and small subcapsular liver hematoma // ?interval changes TECHNIQUE: Portable chest COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Compared to the prior study there is no significant interval change. IMPRESSION: No change. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient after mechanical fall, rib fractures and hemothorax and pulmonary contusion ,chest tube discontinued. PA and lateral upright chest radiographs were reviewed in comparison to ___. There is small right apical pneumothorax present. Right pleural effusion appears to be unchanged. Associated atelectasis is unchanged. Left lung is essentially clear. Left basal atelectasis is unchanged. Radiology Report INDICATION: Right-sided chest tube, hemothorax. Please evaluate and chest tube placement. COMPARISON: No prior studies available for comparison. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral chest radiographs demonstrate cardiomegaly with mild central vessel congestion. Right lower lung opacification likely represents a combination of elevated hemidiaphragm, atelectasis and reported hemothorax. Minimal blunting of the left costophrenic angle may reflect small pleural effusion versus scarring. No pneumothorax identified, though there is subcutaneous gas within the right chest wall surrounding a right chest tube. IMPRESSION: Right lower lung opacification, likely combination of elevated right hemidiaphragm, atelectasis, and reported hemothorax. No pneumothorax. Possible small left pleural effusion. Radiology Report INDICATION: Report of subcapsular hematoma on outside hospital chest CT. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to chest radiograph performed ___. FINDINGS: The patient has a notably elevated right hemidiaphragm, possibly reflecting incompletely assessed right lung base collapse. There is a right approach chest tube which given the presence a small adjacent subcapsular liver hematoma may be at least partially intraperitoneal. Other possibilities include hematoma due to initial contact with the liver on tube insertion though tube remains intrapleural. The liver parenchyma enhances homogeneously without concerning liver lesions. A 27 mm simple cyst is evident within the hepatic segment IVb. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, kidneys and ureters are unremarkable. The bladder is significantly distended. The stomach, small and large bowel are normal in appearance. The appendix is visualized and normal. No free air or fluid identified. No lymphadenopathy present. No suspicious lytic or blastic lesions present. No fractures identified. IMPRESSION: Right-sided chest tube with small residual right pneumothorax and collapse of the right lung base. Associated with chest tube insertion is a small chest wall hematoma as well as small subcapsular liver hematoma. It is unclear if hematoma was sustained with initial contact of the liver on chest tube insertion or reflects a partially intraperitoneal course of the tube. No other evidence of trauma.

The patient presented as detailed above and was admitted to the Acute Care Surgery service for management of his rib fractures, hemothorax and subcapsular hematoma. The plan was to ensure good pain control to ensure good ventilation, follow chest tube output and perform serial abdominal exams for the subcapsular hematoma. The patient remained hemodynamically stable on the floor and his chest tube output was low so his chest tube, which was initially kept to wall suction, was switched to waterseal on HD2. Follow-up CXR demonstrated good lung volumes and no pneumothorax so his chest tube was removed. A post-pull CXR was obtained to rule out any residual pneumothorax. By end of HD2 the patient was maintaining his oxygen saturations on room air after being weaned off oxygen and his pain was under control on PO pain medications so he was discharged home with a scheduled follow up visit in the ___ clinic in 2 weeks.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___ Chief Complaint: Code Cord Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: EMG/NCS Lumbar puncture History of Present Illness: This is a very pleasant ___ man with a medical history notable for rectal adenocarcinoma s/p local resection and adjuvant chemoradiation who was referred to the ED by Dr. ___ to rule out a possible cauda equina syndrome. He provides an excellent history. He explains that he has had problems with lower extremity symptoms for at least a couple of months. His last dose of radiation to the groin was back in ___, and following those sessions of radiation, he had a lot of local problems with skin peeling. These all resolved, and he had essentially normal urinary and bowel function for the next several months. He started to notice bilateral hip pain in ___ or so. It was first thought to be a case of trochanteric bursitis. He received a local joint injection to the left hip with plans to do the right hip next, but the left joint injection did not help. During this time, he was symptomatically managed with low dose opiate narcotics. Then, he started to have midline lower back pain in conjunction with this bilateral hip pain, which he describes as radiating down the side of his legs down to his lateral malleolus. He was hospitalized for this in late ___ and received an MRI of his L-spine - this study has now been uploaded to our system (was done at ___ "___ in an open Shield's MRI). This identified a few protruding discs and at least one significant posterolateral L5-S1 disc herniation resulting in partial disc extrusion compressing the left S1 nerve root. For this new back pain, he received a local ESI which partially helped relieve his symptoms. Over the past two-three weeks, he explains that his pain has gotten worse. He has been prescribed morphine sulfate (10mg BID) and this together with other opiates has caused him to become more confused. The pain is so bad that it causes him to wake up in the middle of the night. It is not necessarily worse on lying flat, and he reports that physical activity does tend to make it worse. He has noticed his legs giving out and a resulting fall on at least four occasions. His gait has become very clumsy. He explains that producing urine has become somewhat more difficult now, in that he has to strain at times and feels like "there is still some left after I have gone". He has also had a few episodes of frank stool incontinence, one episode of which was associated with a fall. Review of systems is positive for an extremity rash that he has had for a few years now and has been stable. He has not been able to maintain an erection for the past six months; thought to be a side effect of surgery. He has not had any groin anesthesia, for example when he wipes himself. He has not had any weight loss. No change to his appetite. No belly pain or chest pain. He has not had any drooling. He has not had any episodes of LOC. Past Medical History: Past medical history includes GERD, hypertension and a remote history of tobacco abuse. He was seen by a dermatologist a few years ago for this arm and leg rash that he has now ("they described it with a really long name"). He takes some topical treatment at this time that is available over the counter which he did not know the name of. Regarding his oncologic history, he was was found to have a polpyoid lesion in his rectum in ___ which was incompletely resected. He had a full thickness of this cancerous lesion in ___, following which a portacath was placed and he started chemotherapy with ___. Concurrently, he received chemotherapy. The radiation and chemotherapy resulted in what he describes a miserable few months consisting of significant peeling and "burns" in his groin, "ass" and his feet. His last dose of radiation was in ___. He also reports a previous history of "stroke" in ___ that resulted in some slurring of his speech. Further details are not available. Social History: ___ Family History: Family history is negative for neuromuscular disease. He did have a father who died of prostate cancer at ___. Physical Exam: EXAM ON ADMISSION: V/s: 97.1, HR 68, BP 166/77, R 18, 97% RA. This is a large obese gentleman who was lying supine in his stretcher. He was pleasant and cooperative and in no apparent distress. Head was NCAT with moist mucous membranes. OP was clear of lesions. Heart and lung sounds were distant.

Motor NCSs of the right tibial nerve were normal, including F-responses. Motor NCSs of the left deep peroneal nerve revealed normal distal latency, markedly reduced response amplitudes, and moderately slowed conduction velocities. There was no abnormal facilitation of response amplitude after 10 seconds of maximal voluntary exercise. Motor NCSs of the left common peroneal revealed normal distal latency, markedly reduced response amplitudes, and normal conduction velocities. Motor NCSs of the left tibial nerve were normal; F-minimum latency was moderately prolonged. Motor NCSs of the left ulnar nerve were normal. Sensory NCS of the right sural nerve revealed borderline normal response amplitude and moderately slowed conduction velocity.

SUMMARY STATEMENT Mr. ___ is an ___ year-old man with a history of HFrEF (EF 35%), s/p PPM, ?Cirrhosis, HTN, AF on warfarin, obstructive uropathy s/p ureteral stent placement and s/p foley, GERD, h/o CVA in ___, and dementia, who presented as a transfer from OSH with concern for a cool LLE. ACUTE ISSUES # Cool LLE: # Peripheral Vascular Disease Patient presented to OSH with cool LLE more so than right, concerning for vascular compromise, also with decreased BP on LLE > RLE. On transfer, it was noted that his pulses remained Dopplerable throughout his hospitalization. He was evaluated by vascular surgery in the ED, who recommended non-emergent ABI/PVR with toe pressures bilaterally. Deferred CTA as no concern for critical limb ischemia and patient also with decreased renal function of unknown chronicity (see below). Patient was notably anti-coagulated with warfarin, INR 1.9 on admission. Given his sub-therapeutic INR he was briefly placed on a heparin drip. The patient underwent ABI/PVR with toe pressures bilaterally on ___. As per vascular surgery, there was little concern for an acute process and the patient can continue to get worked up as an outpatient. # Elevated transaminases: Mildly elevated with an unknown baseline, as patient with h/o ?cirrhosis. It was initially felt that the increase may also be in the setting of hepatic congestion. They ultimately downtrended without intervention. # Elevated lactate Elevated to 2.2 on admission. This may have represented mild hypoperfusion in the setting of limb ischemia. However, this remained stable without intervention. CHRONIC ISSUES # Chronic Systolic CHF: EF reportedly 35% per OSH paperwork. BNP 2000s on admission, though unclear how high previously or if this represents at change. Some documentation of BNP 3000s at OSH and perhaps even as high as 4000s. Patient did not appear grossly volume overloaded on exam and remained on his home carvedilol and furosemide. # ANEMIA Hgb 12.7 on admission, unknown baseline. Downtrended slightly to 11.9. # AF ON WARFARIN # S/PPM Unknown indication for PPM. INR slightly subtherapeutic on presentation. He was on a heparin drip briefly, before being transitioned back to warfarin. # H/O URETERAL STENT # S/P FOLEY Reported h/o obstructive uropathy s/p stent placement, also with Foley in place with reported plan for TURP as outpatient. CT A/P from OSH records with no residual hydronephrosis (unclear when examined). # DEMENTIA: AAOx2 on admission, unclear baseline. Family stated patient is AOx3 at home. His mention status showed no fluctuation in house, and he was oriented to person and place. He knew the names of his family members. We felt this was his baseline. # ?HYPERLIPIDEMIA: Unclear if statin prescribed for CAD or for HLD. Continued home atorvastatin. # ?CIRRHOSIS: Unknown etiology. LFTs elevated on admission, unknown baseline. INR most likely elevated due to warfarin use. LFTs downtrended without intervention. # ?CKD: Unknown Cr baseline, may be related to obstructive uropathy as above. Cr on admission 1.5. Cr on discharge 1.4. # ? HYPERPARATHYROIDISM # HYPERCALCEMIA Ca elevated to 10.2 at OSH. Reported history of hyperparathyroidism at OSH. Held home vitamin D. #CODE STATUS: OSH records mentioned DNR/DNI, but we could find no formal documentation of this. When discussed with the family, ___ mentioned this is something that they have been thinking about but no formal decision had been made. Ordered for full code here in hospital. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES []We scheduled follow up with vascular surgery here; if patient prefers, he can follow up with vascular surgery at ___ ___ for likely LLE angiogram and further workup of chronic peripheral arterial disease []can consider starting patient on aspirin given history of CVA []can consider further hepatology evaluation of cirrhosis given elevated LFTs on admission #CODE: Full (presumed); see above for details #CONTACT: ___ ___ (per ___ Facility), also phone number ___ listed for ___ in ___ paperwork, other daughter, ___ ___

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with fall three weeks ago presenting with altered mental status, evaluate for intracerebral hemorrhage. COMPARISONS: Head CT, ___. TECHNIQUE: Continuous sections through the brain were obtained without the administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were provided and reviewed. Reconstruction was performed using a bone algorithm. FINDINGS: There is no acute hemorrhage, edema or shift of the normally midline structures. The gray-white matter differentiation has been preserved. There is no evidence for acute large territorial vascular infarction. Sulcal and ventricular prominence is likely due to age-related involutional changes, however, given the degree of ventricular enlargment which is somewhat out of proportion to the degree of sulcal prominence, normal pressure hydrocephalus cannot be excluded. Nevertheless, ventricular dilatation is unchanged compared to the prior exam. In addition, periventricular white matter hypodensities, although nonspecific, likely related to sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The mastoid air cells and imaged paranasal sinuses are well aerated. There is no fracture. A small right occipital subgaleal hematoma is noted. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. Unchanged ventricular dilatation, somewhat disproportionate to the degree of sulcal prominence, which may reflect central atrophy but normal pressure hydrocephalus is not excluded. Radiology Report HISTORY: Altered mental status. TECHNIQUE: Upright AP and lateral views of the chest. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: The heart size is top normal. The aorta is mildly tortuous and diffusely calcified. The mediastinal and hilar contours are otherwise within normal limits. The pulmonary vascularity is not engorged. Minimal blunting of the costophrenic angles posteriorly on the lateral view may reflect chronic pleural thickening. There is no large pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Mild atelectatic changes are noted within the left lung base. No acute osseous abnormalities are seen. There are multilevel degenerative changes in the thoracic spine. IMPRESSION: Minimal left basilar atelectasis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with tender scrotum. Evaluate for epididymitis or testicular torsion. COMPARISONS: Multiple prior scrotal ultrasounds, most recently of ___. FINDINGS: The right testicle measures 2.8 x 2.5 x 4.5 cm and the left testicle measures 2.8 x 3.2 x 4.1 cm. The right epididymis is enlarged, heterogeneous, and hypervascular, compatible with acute right-sided epididymitis. Both testicles are homogeneous in echotexture and have normal vascular waveforms. Large bilateral hydroceles are similar to prior. A calcification along the upper pole of the right testicle may represent a chronically torsed epididymal appendix. Two small pearls are present in the right scrotum. Bilateral epidydimal cysts are similar to prior. IMPRESSION: 1. Acute right-sided epididymitis. 2. Normal testicle vascular waveforms bilaterally. 3. Large bilateral hydroceles, similar to prior.

___ h/o CAD s/p NSTEMI and PCI ___ admitted after short rehab stay due to altered mental status and found to have acute epididymitis, lower extremity cellulitis, and pre-renal ARF, all now improved. #Delirium: On admission to the hospital, the patient was oriented only to person. Per report from the patient's son and from previous notes, this was significantly off his baseline. The patient was also intattentive and unable to carry on a simple conversation. He had evidence of infection and hypovolemia. We treated these with antibiotics and fluids. He had been taking morphine XR at rehab. We stopped the morphine, as we thought this may be contributing to his delirium. We kept him on oxycodone for pain. As he became more hydrated and his infections were treated, his mental status improved. He is now alert oriented to person, place, and time. He is able to hold a simple conversation and remember caregiver names. ___ son indicates that he is at his baseline mental status. He is sometimes confused upon awakening but should quickly orient. #Acute renal failure: On admission, the patient had a creatinine of 2.1 from a baseline of 1.2. His BUN on admission was 45 with a BUN/Cr>20, suggesting a pre-renal etiology to the ARF. On exam, his mucus membranes were dry, suggesting hypovolemia. He was given IV fluids until he was taking a good amount of oral intake. His creatinine improved to 1.3 on the day prior to discharge. Diuretics initially held and restarted at discharge. #Acute epididymitis: On admission the patient had an erythematous, swollen, tender scrotum. His U/A was positive for infection with many WBCs in the urine. His WBC count was 16.0 on admission. Scrotal U/S was consistent w/ acute epididymitis. There was no evidence of torsion. He was initially treated with ceftriaxone IV and transitioned to oral cefpodoxime for total 14day course to end ___. His WBC count on the day prior to discharge was 8.4. UCx grew yeast, felt to be colonization and not treated. #RLE cellulitis: On admission, the patient had about 5cm of tenderness, erythema of medial right calf around a laceration extending to the anterior calf. He was treated for cellulitis with vancomycin IV for MRSA coverage as he has been in the hospital and rehab. His cellulitis improved on this regimen. He was transitioned to oral doxycycline for a planned 14 day course to end ___. Bactrim would have been the preferred oral antibiotic for this, but he is allergic to sulfa. #Angina: The patient has a significant CAD history. On HOD2, the patient developed ___ chest pain radiating to the left shoulder. His systolic blood pressure dropped only from 120 to 100. His SpO2 remained steady at >95%RA. Am EKG prior to the nitro showed nonspecific changes from prior but negative for ST elevations. He was given nitroglycerin which improved his chest pain. Troponins were elevated but stable at 0.07 and 0.06. Since that event has had no chest pain. EKG unremarkable ___. #Abdominal masses: There is a history of abdominal masses found on a CT scan. We had a discussion with the patient and his family. They confirmed they do not want this to be worked up further. He had no abdominal pain during this hospitalization. #Goals of care: During this hospitalization, conversations were had with the patient's son ___ and the patient himself. Based on these goals of care conversations his code status was changed from full code to DNR/DNI. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES: #Lasix dosing: The patient's furosemide was held during his hospitalization due to the ARF. He was started back on his home dose of 40mg QD on discharge. Monitor Cr upon discharge. #Pain control: The patient came in to the hospital with altered mental status. His morphine was held, and the patient never complained of pain. He was kept on his home oxycodone dose. He will be discharged with oxycodone but without morphine XR. His pain control regimen should be revisited with his PCP.

Total DLP (Body) = 762 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: Visualized lung fields are within normal limits. There is no evidence of pleural or pericardial effusion. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There are subcentimeter hypodense lesions at the hepatic dome and also in segment seven posteriorly which are too small to characterize. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits. PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions. ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram. There is an 8 mm hypodense lesion in the left kidney that is too small to characterize, but likely represents a simple cyst. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: There is a small hiatal hernia. There are multiple mid to distal fluid-filled and dilated loops of small measuring up to 4.8 cm in diameter. There is a transition point identified in the mid lower abdomen (2:133, 601: 66) which may represent a stricture in this patient with a history of Crohn's disease. Fecalization of enteric contents noted immediately proximal to the obstruction and there is decompression of the distal small bowel loops. There is a blind ending 5 cm long outpouching of the small bowel in the right lower quadrant (601:51 and 2:141). Mesenteric free fluid is noted. There is subtle hyperemia within the terminal ileum which is relatively decompressed and mild surrounding stranding. This raises the possibility mild acute inflammation in this region. The colon and rectum are within normal limits. Appendix contains a 1 cm appendicolith though the appendix itself is unremarkable without surrounding inflammation. The appendix is prominent with multiple appendiculith, however it is air filled withour hyperemia. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is a small amount of free fluid in the pelvis. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The prostate and seminal vesicles are grossly unremarkable. LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. T9 vertebral body hemangioma is noted. SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: 1. Small-bowel obstruction, with a transition point identified in the mid lower abdomen which may represent a stricture in this patient with history of Crohn's disease. Fecalization of enteric contents noted proximal to the obstruction and decompressed distal small bowel loops. 2. Free fluid adjacent to small bowel loops tracking into the pelvis. 3. Mild hyperemia of the terminal ileum with surrounding stranding raising the possibility of mild acute inflammation in the setting of Crohn's. 4. A 5 cm long blind-ending outpouching of the mid to distal small bowel in the right lower quadrant which is likely a diverticulum, potentially a Meckel's diverticulum. No evidence of associated inflammation. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ with small bowel obstruction, status post NG tube placement // Confirm NG tube placement. TECHNIQUE: Single portable view of the chest. COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: Enteric tube is seen with tip coiled in the gastric fundus. Lung volumes are low. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits. Excreted contrast noted in the renal pelves. No acute osseous abnormalities. IMPRESSION: Enteric tube noted within the gastric fundus. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR ___ INDICATION: ___ year old man with hx of Crohn's disease p/w SBO // Eval for SBO in pt w/ hx of Crohn's disease TECHNIQUE: T1 and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen and pelvis were acquired within a 1.5 T magnet, including 3D dynamic sequences performed prior to, during, and following the administration of 0.1 mmol/kg of Gadavist intravenous contrast (8 cc). Oral contrast consisted of 1000 mL of Breeza. 1.0 mg of Glucagon was administered IM to reduce bowel peristalsis. COMPARISON: CT scan dated ___ FINDINGS: MR ENTEROGRAPHY: Small bowel distention has improved when comparison is made with the CT scan dated ___. There are at least 3 short areas of segmental narrowing and focal dilatation with associated hyperenhancement, visualized in the terminal ileum (1201:32, 35 and 39) with pseudo sacculation of the anti mesenteric border of the bowel (9:33, 27), consistent with active and chronic inflammatory changes. The apparent hyperenhancement visualized in the loops of proximal jejunum, is related to underdistention. The previously visualized right lower quadrant blind-ending structure, lateral to loops of distal small bowel, is less conspicuously visualized(9:19), and given its location remains suspicious for Meckel's diverticulum. The appendix is mildly distended and contains 2 appendicoliths. No periappendiceal inflammatory changes to suggest acute appendicitis. No evidence of fistulizing disease and no intra-abdominal collection. Colon appears unremarkable without wall thickening or focal abnormalities. MRI OF THE ABDOMEN WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: A 10 mm T2 hyperintense lesion in segment 8 of the liver is consistent with a cyst. No other focal liver lesions. There is mild splenomegaly with the spleen measuring 14 mm. No focal splenic lesion. There are subcentimeter nonenhancing left renal lesions measuring up to 9 mm consistent with cysts. The right kidney appears normal The imaged aspect of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and adrenal glands are unremarkable. No retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy is identified. Abdominal aorta is normal size. MRI OF THE PELVIS WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: The bladder and distal ureters appear unremarkable. Rectum is unremarkable. No pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. No free fluid. OSSEOUS / SOFT TISSUE STRUCTURES: No worrisome lesion is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Skipped hyperenhancing lesions with short segments of luminal narrowing are demonstrated in the distal ileum and at the terminal ileum, with associated pseudo sacculation of the anti mesenteric border, in keeping with changes of active on chronic inflammatory bowel disease. 2. Interval improvement in small bowel distension with no definite evidence of mechanical obstruction. 3. No fistulizing disease or intra-abdominal collection. 4. Blind-ending structure in right iliac fossa is less conspicuous and better characterized on recent CT of ___, remains suspicious for ___ diverticulum. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with Crohn's disease p/w/ SBO // Eval for SBO TECHNIQUE: Frontal abdominal radiographs were obtained. COMPARISON: CT from ___ FINDINGS: As a nasogastric tube in the proximal stomach. Persistent dilatation of the small bowel loops up to 3 cm. Air within the colon. Appendicolith in the appendix.

___ with PMH of Ehlers-Danlos, GERD, and episodic tachycardia, who presents for evaluation of episodes of throat closing/swelling. The initial concern was for anaphylactic reaction to food, she demonstrated no evidence of respiratory compromise or hemodynamic instability to suggest anaphylaxis. ENT evaluation revealed severe laryngeotracheal reflux which may be causing spasm or crichopharyngeal muscle dysfunction. She was ultimately started on enteral feedings via nasogastric tube and was able to gradually reintroduce food. Patient will follow up with a ___ cell disorder specialist to evaluate for a possible ___ cell disorder overlap syndrome. # Food allergy / largyngeotracheal reflux: Patient has been having episodes of throat closing/swelling for the past ___ years, worsening over the last month. These episodes were associated with subjective throat/neck swelling, facial swelling, lip swelling, tongue swelling, rashes, and hives. These would be associated with dysphagia and are associated with food/worse in evenings. Sometimes, she would develop decreased awareness +/- agitation for ___ hours. In the past month, she has had ___ episodes with dyspnea but not stridor, prompting epipen administration by her husband. These resulted in food aversion and approximately 10lb weight loss over 2 months (reported). She presented to allergy clinic after self-triggering an episode with PB&J. Her allergist did not feel that the patient had significant facial/tongue/OP swelling or appearance of angioedema or e/o ___ cell dysfunction, but given her food aversion she was admitted for evaluation. On admission, labs notable for WBC 16.6 (67.6% PMN, 0.2% eos). One of these episodes was observed on ___ in which there was some possible right-sided swelling after eating but no features concerning for anaphylaxis (respiratory compromise, hives, GI distress) as well as no altered mental status. Etiology remains unclear at discharge despite extensive investigation. GI performed EGD with biopsies that were negative for esophageal stricture and eosinophilic esophagitis. ENT evaluated with laryngoscopy and thought this could be due to severe GERD causing laryngeal spasm; on omeprazole and ranitidine now. Not likely to be angioedema given normal C1 esterase inhibitor. The patient's constellation of symptoms do not fit into a clear medical diagnosis, although there is suspicion for a ___ cell disorder. Psychiatry evaluated her for possible somatiform disorder given her multiple somatic symptoms, and recommended ongoing but prudent and safe work-up for more rare causes, minimizing risk of iatrogenic harm from unnecessary tests or treatments while also ensuring a thorough medical work-up. One of the final remaining possibilities that deserves further work-up is ___ cell dysfunction related to ___. We have obtained records from Dr. ___, a geneticist previously at ___ and now at ___ ___, that confirms the diagnosis of EDS. A small study of 9 females with dual diagnoses of POTS and EDS, 66% had validated symptoms of a ___ cell disorder, suggestive of ___ cell activation syndrome ___ and ___ J Allergy Clin Immunol ___. She has an appointment with Dr. ___ at ___, who is a ___ cell specialist, on ___. Nutrition was consulted due to concern that the patient was not maintaining adequate PO intake because she was worried about provoking a reaction. They recommended encouraging PO intake and provided tube feed recommendations. A dobhoff was placed on ___ and tube feeds were initiated. The patient tolerated the tube feeds well and FSBG were < 150. She began to have improvement in her swallowing function and tolerance of food on the day of discharge; feeding tube will remain in place as a bridge to outpatient appointments and further work-up. Tube feeds were started to maintain PO intake. She tolerated tube feeds well. Metoprolol tartrate 25mg q6h was also started with the idea that if there was an autonomic component to these episodes, it might minimize her symptoms. It helped with the sweating and may have dulled some of the sensations associated with these episodes. This was transitioned to metoprolol succinate 50mg daily on discharge. Home loratadine, montelukast, and hydroxyzine were continued. She was put on a prednisone taper (starting at 20mg) at OSH, but we spoke with her allergist Dr. ___ did not feel that she needed it, and it was stopped during this admission # Tachycardia: Presumed to be autonomically mediated given unclear h/o POTS vs. other autonomic dysfunction on prior tilt table test in ___. No e/o acute cardiopulmonary process eg PE from timeframe, history, or exam. Noted on tele to have sinus tachycardia to max 150s; patient has palpitations but no presyncope, dyspnea, or chest pain. She was started on metoprolol tartrate 25mg q6h and transitioned to metoprolol succinate 50mg bid on discharge. # GERD: Noted on endoscopy despite ranitidine. Started on omeprazole. # Nutrition: Poor PO intake in the setting of food aversion due to episodes of throat closing/swelling. Reported 10 pound weight loss over 2 months. Nutrition consulted during hospitalization, who found that intake was not meeting needs and made recommendations for tube feeds. A dobhoff was placed. She continued to take in POs, noting that her "safe foods" now included bagels, grilled cheese, and rice. She was discharged on tube feeds with the plan to continue as her swallowing function improves. # Vaginal bleeding: Started over past 3 weeks. ___ be breakthrough bleeding on pill. Not frank menorrhagia (3 pads/day). No symptoms concerning for pelvic process. Neg HCG, platelet count nml. Home birth control (continuous) continued. CHRONIC ISSUES ============== # Chronic pain: Ultram prn and elavil continued. # Depression: Elavil and mirtazapine continued. GI notes elavil probably bad for her from GI perspective, may want to discuss transition to nortrip or other less-anti-cholinergic agent as an outpatient. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== - Patient will follow-up with her primary care provider and allergist for ongoing management of swallowing dysfunction and question of allergic etiology of her subjective throat swelling. In the interim, ___ nasogastric feeding tube will remain in place as swallowing function improves. - Has appointment with Dr. ___ specialist) at ___ on ___. - Patient will follow-up with ear/nose/throat for dysphagia evaluation as an outpatient; may also want to consider formal speech and swallow study as an outpatient - metoprolol succinate 50mg daily prescribed for tachycardia presumed to be autonomically-mediated given her prior testing indicating autonomic dysfunction and postural tachycardia - will take omeprazole in addition to ranitidine for reflux - Patient will follow-up with PCP regarding vaginal bleeding. # CODE STATUS: FULL (confirmed) # ___ ___

Suboptimal technical quality, a focal LV wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size and free wall motion. AORTA: Normal aortic diameter at the sinus level. AORTIC VALVE: Normal aortic valve leaflets (?#). No masses or vegetations on aortic valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. No AS. No AR. MITRAL VALVE: Mildly thickened mitral valve leaflets. No MVP. No masses or vegetations on mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. Moderate mitral annular calcification. Moderate (2+) MR. ___ VALVE: Normal tricuspid valve leaflets. Mild to moderate [___] TR. Moderate PA systolic hypertension. PERICARDIUM: There is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad, though a loculated anterior pericardial effusion cannot be excluded. GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows. Suboptimal image quality as the ___ was difficult to position. Suboptimal image quality - ___ unable to cooperate. Resting tachycardia (HR>100bpm). Conclusions The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global systolic function (LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (?#) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. No masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. There is no aortic valve stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. No masses or vegetations are seen on the mitral valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved global biventricular systolic function. Moderate mitral regurgitation with grossly normal valve morphology. Moderate tricuspid regurgitation with grossly normal valve morphology. Pulmonary artery hypertension. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, the estimated PA systolic pressure is now much higher.

Subsequently, helically acquired rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the infusion of intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 802.7 mGy-cm. 2) Sequenced Acquisition 19.2 s, 8.0 cm; CTDIvol = 314.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 2,513.8 mGy-cm. 3) Stationary Acquisition 3.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 32.7 mGy (Head) DLP = 16.3 mGy-cm. 4) Spiral Acquisition 5.2 s, 40.5 cm; CTDIvol = 32.0 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,295.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 4,628 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no evidence of acute large territorial infarction,hemorrhage,edema,ormass. Small chronic infarcts right parietal lobe, right middle frontal gyrus. The ventricles and sulci are prominent, suggestive of volume loss. Chronic small vessel ischemic change. There is an ossific density within the left maxillary sinus suggestive of benign fibro-osseous lesion, may be osteoma or fibrous dysplasia or postsurgical change. The visualized portion of the remaining paranasal sinuses,mastoid air cells,and middle ear cavities are essentially clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable. Small mixed internal, external right laryngocele. No mass at the larynx. CTA HEAD: Atherosclerotic calcifications bilateral cavernous, paraclinoid ICA, with mild narrowing. The vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches appear normal without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. There are bilateral fetal type origins of the PCAs. There are moderate calcifications of the carotid siphons, with no flow limiting stenosis. The dural venous sinuses are patent. CTA NECK: There are calcifications of the bilateral carotid bifurcations, with suggestion of ulcerated plaque right ICA proximally. No evidence of internal carotid stenosis by NASCET criteria. Mild narrowing distal V1 segment right vertebral artery. Otherwise, the carotidandvertebral arteries and their major branches appear normal with no evidence of flow-limiting stenosis or occlusion. PERFUSION: No perfusion abnormality. T-max greater than 6 seconds 0 mL. CBF less than 30% volume 0 mm. OTHER: The visualized portion of the lungs are clear. The visualized portion of the thyroid gland is within normal limits. There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial abnormality. 2. Small chronic infarcts. 3.

Concern for right pontine versus right cortical hand knob. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted, and axial T2 weighted, FLAIR, gradient echo, and diffusion-weighted images of the brain were obtained. COMPARISON: CTA head and neck from 1 day prior on ___. FINDINGS: There is a small linear focus of high signal on the diffusion tracer sequence in the right periatrial white matter posterolateral to the right thalamus, image 402:16, without clear corresponding signal abnormality on the ADC map. Evaluation of this area on axial FLAIR and T2 weighted images is limited due to slice thickness and volume averaging. There appears to be a small corresponding T1 hypointensity on sagittal T1 weighted image 3:7. This may represent a small subacute infarct. No other evidence for recent infarction. Small chronic infarctions are again seen in the right middle frontal gyrus and right superior parietal lobe, and probably also in the left corona radiata. Extensive confluent T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the periventricular and deep white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, and scattered small T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the subcortical white matter, nonspecific but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. There is mild global parenchymal volume loss with mildly prominent ventricles and sulci. Major vascular flow voids appear grossly preserved. No evidence for intracranial blood products allowing for motion artifact on gradient echo images. Calcified material is again seen in the left maxillary sinus. There is minimal mucosal thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air cells. IMPRESSION: 1. Probable small subacute infarction in the right periatrial white matter posterolateral to the right thalamus, as discussed above. Evaluation of this area on FLAIR and T2 weighted images is limited due to slice thickness and volume averaging. 2. Small chronic infarctions in the right frontal lobe, right parietal lobe, and probably also in the left corona radiata. 3. Extensive supratentorial white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintensities are nonspecific but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group.

Level of Consciousness: Lethargic but arousable. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: History: ___ with fever// Evaluate for pneumonia TECHNIQUE: Chest AP and lateral COMPARISON: Multiple prior chest radiographs with the most recent dated ___. FINDINGS: The lung volume is small, exaggerating bronchovascular markings. Again demonstrated mild pulmonary edema and pulmonary vascular congestion, similar to ___. There is bibasilar atelectasis.

Normal color flow and compressibility are demonstrated in the posterior tibial and peroneal veins. There is normal respiratory variation in the common femoral veins bilaterally. No evidence of medial popliteal fossa (___) cyst. IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the right or left lower extremity veins. Gender: M Race: BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: Weakness Diagnosed with Weakness temperature: 98.2 heartrate: 102.0 resprate: 20.0 o2sat: 95.0 sbp: 108.0 dbp: 50.0 level of pain: 0 level of acuity: 3.0
___ yo M w/ idiopathic pulmonary hypertension on tadalafil (2L home O2), left frontal encephalomalacia suspected from infarct, s/p craniectomy, prior alcohol abuse, seizure d/o (on keppra), dyslipidemia, CKD III, CHF, CAD, prostate CA presenting with complaint of episode of sweating, chest pain and fatigue overnight that did not recur, with TTE showing inferior hypokinesis and worsened RV function but stress test negative for reversible ischemia. ACUTE ISSUES: ============= #Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension / diastolic heart failure - Was given sildenafil while in house instead of usual tadalafil - ECHO findings may represent worsening pulm hypertension given right ventricle markedly dilated and moderately hypokinetic, inferior hypokinesis is now seen compared to prior study. - torsemide stopped given evidence of volume depletion - At baseline O2 requirements, 2L - Outpatient followup scheduled at ___ with Dr. ___ on ___ at 4:40 ___ #CAD/Inferior hypokinesis Pt carries dx of CAD in past. Chest pain atypical and enzymes not consistent with type I NSTEMI. TTE showed worsened RV function and new inferior hypokinesis, concerning for prior infarct. Nuclear stress obtained which showed anterior fixed defect but no reversible ischemia. Cath deferred as patient given lack of evidence for high risk lesion based on stress and preference for medical management given his patient's risk of nonadherence and desire to leave the hospital. Ultimately low suspicion his initial chest pain was due to cardiac ischemia. Statin held due to mild rhabdo, and beta blocker not yet started due to borderline bradycardia, but these should both be addressed in follow-up. ___ on CKD Unclear whether pt was taking torsemide as outpatient. Torsemide was stopped during last hospital admission ___ concerns pt was overdiuresing. Patient may have continued to take old supply when he returned home. During admission patient's Cr peaked at 1.9. When torsemide held in hospital Cr returned to baseline, and he did not develop evidence of worsening heart failure off torsemide. Will need to monitor volume status and weight in follow-up for further data. #Mild rhabdomyolysis Patient's CK was elevated on admission up to ___ range. Etiology was unclear but ddx included medication (statin) vs. seizure in the setting of keppra non-compliance vs. trauma in setting of reduced consciousness. CK levels peaked at 1651 and then downtrended during admission. Of note his levels have been moderately elevated in the past as well. Very unlikely to be cardiac source given troponin levels. Held statin through admission and at discharge. Will need CK followed up and further decision about statin use. #Chest Pain w/ elevated troponin - patient presented with chest pain, fatigue and elevated troponin. These complaints resolved on their prior to admission. Patient's admission EKG was unchanged from prior on ___ with TWI in III, V1-V3 present. His mild troponinemia was similar to prior and overall flat, not suggestive of type I NSTEMI. CHRONIC ISSUES: =============== #HTN: Continued home lisinopril #Alcohol use history #Seizure hx Continued home keppra #Anemia He has been followed in heme with Dr. ___ believes the anemia is related to multifactorial, chronic disease and iron deficiency with steadily decreasing ferritin concerning for GIB. B12 was normal. His iron supplement was stopped to decrease medication burden in setting of dementia and his refusal of many pills (and suspect larger component of inflammation at this point given low TIBC, normocytic, normal range ferritin) # Dyslipidemia Held home atorvastatin during admission as per above TRANSITIONAL ISSUES ==================== - pulmonary hypertension clinic follow-up given worsening RV dysfunction - close monitoring of volume status and weight to ensure discontinuation of diuretic is sustainable - monitor renal function - check CK, consider restarting statin if back to normal range, consider further work-up otherwise - consider very low dose beta blocker if HR will tolerate and dont feel this is too much polypharmacy

Right internal jugular approach chest single lumen Port-a-cath placement PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire was then passed distally into the IVC. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 2.5 cm transverse incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt dissection. The single lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed over the ___ wire through which the port was threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled away. The subcutaneous pocket was closed in layers with ___ interrupted and ___ subcuticular continuous Vicryl sutures. ___ subcuticular Vicryl sutures and Steri-strips were used to close the venotomy incision site.

RIGHT ATRIUM/INTERATRIAL SEPTUM: Moderately dilated RA. LEFT VENTRICLE: Suboptimal technical quality, a focal LV wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. False LV tendon (normal variant). No resting LVOT gradient. RIGHT VENTRICLE: Normal RV chamber size and free wall motion. AORTIC VALVE: Mildly thickened aortic valve leaflets. Minimal AS. Trace AR. MITRAL VALVE: Mildly thickened mitral valve leaflets. Mild mitral annular calcification. Trivial MR. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of MR may be significantly UNDERestimated.] TRICUSPID VALVE: Mildly thickened tricuspid valve leaflets. Mild [1+] TR. Indeterminate PA systolic pressure. PERICARDIUM: No pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad, though a loculated anterior pericardial effusion cannot be excluded. GENERAL COMMENTS: Suboptimal image quality - poor echo windows. Suboptimal image quality - body habitus. Conclusions The left atrium is mildly dilated. The right atrium is moderately dilated. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). There is a minimally increased gradient consistent with minimal aortic valve stenosis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. [Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of mitral regurgitation may be significantly UNDERestimated.] The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no pericardial effusion. There is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality due to body habitus. Left and right ventricular systolic function are probably normal, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be excluded. Minimal aortic stenosis and trace aortic regurigtation. ___ Imaging CHEST (PA & LAT) As compared to the previous radiograph, the lungs are substantially better inflated. Pre-existing areas of atelectasis at the left and right lung base have completely cleared. Still visible are pleural calcifications, more extensive on the left than on the right. Minimal not characteristic scarring at the left lung base. No acute changes such as pneumonia or pulmonary edema. ___ Imaging CARDIAC PERFUSION PHARM 1) Mild reversible perfusion defect in the inferior wall 2) EF 55%, normal wall motion. ___ Cardiovascular STRESS ___ No angina or ischemic EKG changes to vasodilator stress. Appropriate hemodynamic response to dypridamole. Nuclear report sent separately. ___ Cardiovascular ECG ___ Coarse atrial fibrillation with very bradycardic ventricular rate with a single ventricular premature contraction or aberrantly conducted beat. Low QRS amplitude throughout. Computed QTc interval is prolonged. Compared to the previous tracing ventricular response to atrial fibrillation is now profoundly bradycardic with loss of QRS amplitude throughout and the resolution of left axis deviation. QTc interval has prolonged. An ongoing metabolic process is suggested. Clinical correlation is suggested.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAM: Chest, frontal and lateral views. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Recent fall with dizziness. COMPARISON: Multiple priors including ___, and ___. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. Again seen in the right perihilar region is a rounded opacity measuring 3.2 x 3.3 cm, grossly stable compared to prior. The previously seen left mid lung rounded mass is not as well appreciated on the prior study but still appears to be present, measuring approximately 1.6 x 2.6 cm, although again not well seen. There is patchy left base retrocardiac opacity. Cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable with the cardiac silhouette mildly enlarged. The aorta is calcified.

Additional smaller pulmonary nodules may be present in the upper lobes bilaterally, as better appreciated on CT. Lingular atelectasis/scarring is seen. IMPRESSION: 1. Findings worrisome for left lower lobe pneumonia. 2. Multiple pulmonary nodules again seen. Radiology Report HISTORY: Three falls in the last week. Now with dizziness. Evaluate for subdural. TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without IV contrast. Multiplanar axial, coronal, sagittal, and thin-section bone algorithm reconstructed images were acquired. There was significant patient motion and several images were repeated with partial improvement. COMPARISON: Multiple prior CTs of the head, most recent ___. FINDINGS: Motion artifact most prominently at the skullbase limits evaluation. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or large territorial infarction. The ventricles and sulci are again prominent suggesting age-related atrophy. Periventricular and subcortical white matter hyperintensities are nonspecific but likely represent chronic microvascular ischemic disease. The basal cisterns are patent and there is preservation of gray-white differentiation. No fractures are seen. The mastoid air cells, middle ear cavities, and partially visualized paranasal sinuses are clear. The cavernous internal carotid arteries are calcified. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial process. Radiology Report HISTORY: Three falls in the last week. Now with dizziness. TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained from the skullbase to the T3 left without IV contrast. Multiplanar axial, coronal, sagittal, and thin-section bone algorithm reconstructed images were acquired. COMPARISON: CT C-spine ___. FINDINGS: Left shoulder prosthesis causes significant streak artifact somewhat limiting evaluation. However, there is no evidence of acute fracture or dislocation. The occipital condyles are normally positioned on the lateral masses of C1. Atlantodental distance is preserved. Multilevel degenerative changes are similar to the comparison study. The transverse ligament of the atlas is calcified and thickened. Grade 1 anterolisthesis of C5 on C6, C6 on C7, and C7 on T1 is slightly more prominent. There is osseous fusion of the vertebral bodies of T1 and T2. Posterior disc osteophyte complexes from C3-C7 results in mild central canal narrowing. Uncovertebral hypertrophy and facet joint hypertrophy results in bilateral foraminal narrowing, most prominent at C4-5 and C5-6. The prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable. The thyroid is unremarkable. The included lung apices reveal multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules minimally increased in size since ___. For example, a 1 cm right upper lobe nodule previously measured 9 mm. The 1.2 x 1.1 cm left upper lobe nodule previously measured 1 x 1 cm periods. IMPRESSION: 1. Streak artifact limits evaluation, however, there is no evidence of acute fracture 2. Multilevel degenerative changes including anterolisthesis slightly more prominent since ___. 3.

Oral contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 739 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis from ___ FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: Minimal dependent atelectasis noted.. ABDOMEN: Again seen is mild left hepatic lobe atrophy, as on prior. The gallbladder was removed. The spleen, adrenal glands and kidneys are unremarkable aside for a few stable hypodense renal lesions too small to characterize. No hydronephrosis. GASTROINTESTINAL: Patient is status post gastric bypass with duodenal switch with similar dilatation of the jejunal anastomosis. There is a bowel obstruction with a transition point in the right lower quadrant on series 2, image 61 likely secondary to adhesions. Please note that there are two points of transition at the level of this adhesion and an ileal loop in the deep pelvis is considered a closed loop obstruction on series 2, images 63-67. The terminal ileum is collapsed. No free air demonstrated. PELVIS: There is trace free fluid in the pelvis. LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. No atherosclerotic disease is noted. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions. SOFT TISSUES: Bilateral injection gluteal granulomas are visualized. The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: Small-bowel obstruction with a transition point in the right lower quadrant. Please note that there are two transition points in the right lower quadrant and an ileal loop in the pelvis is therefore considered a closed loop obstruction as described above.

BRIEF HOSPITAL COURSE ___ year old male with h/o ETOH cirrhosis (complicated by varices, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy), CAD s/p stents referred from liver clinic with jaundice and ascites s/p recent alcohol intake. Mr. ___ reports that he was in his usual state of health until 6 weeks ago, when his mother died, which triggered him to start drinking again. Since then he has been drinking regularly and has noted a worsening in his abdominal swelling and increased jaundice. He reports that he had his last paracentesis 1 week ago and has already regained his ascites. There was concern for infection. Diagnostic para showed no signs of infection. Pt was noted to have a pleural effusion, which was determined to be consistent with hepatic hydrothorax after thoracentesis. Pt was on abx empirically for 5 days, which were discontinued after infection was ruled out. Pt was started on Prednisone 40mg PO daily with plans for a 28 day course for severe alcoholic hepatitis given DF in the ______. His bili, INR, and Cr all trended down on prednisone. Bili was trending down at time of discharge. Pt had screening EGD and no varices noted, however pt had candidal esophagitis. Started on Fluconazole 100mg PO Q24 and will take for 7 days. Pt will follow up with his PCP and ___ as an outpt. ACTIVE ISSUES #SEVERE ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS: Patient with recent alcohol ingestion, rising bilirrubin, AST/ALT ratio >2, and prolonging INR. Admission ___ df of 42, steroids deferred d/t active infection (see below). ___ T. bili increasing - plateauing. Steroid administration prednisone 40 x 28 days 48 (start d1: ___. LFTs improved and therefore would not be a candidate for the ___ study. Pt will follow up with Liver Clinic and continue prednisone for 28 day course. # PNEUMONIA: Presumed HCAP given chills, cough and subjective fevers and recent hospitalization in ___. Given alcohol also at risk for aspiration. Started vanc cef for HCAP coverage (___) narrowed to levo (___). No recurrent symptoms during hospital stay. # AFIB: Pt had two episodes afib ___ rate 90-100s on ___, converted back to sinus. Propranolol is pt's home med, likely flipped into afib given lack of propranolol (was held for c/f HRS), and infxn. Patient with new onset Afib per his report that he has not discussed with his cardiologist. Patient had TTE while in the hospital that showed no structural abnormalities. # ___ : Worsening after propranolol administration for afib (see above). Patient given doses of concentrated albumin during his inpatient stay. His creatinine stabilized and slowly improved. Cr was at baseline on discharge. # HEPATIC HYDROTHORAX: New onset right sided effusion in setting of worsening ascites. s/p thoracentesis and analysis c/w transudative process, mostly likely hepatic hydrothorax v. parapneumonic effusion which would be exudative in nature. Appears to have reaccumulated. We continued to monitor and reaccumulation did not occur during inpatient stay. Pt may need thoracentesis as OP. CHRONIC ISSUES # HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY: Patient was alert and oriented but with subtle asterixis. We continued Lactulose 30mL TID and titrate to 3BM daily and Rifaximin 550 BID. # ASCITES: Significant in spite of diuretics, likely due to alcohol consumption. No h/o SBP. Patient will follow up with his Liver doctor and determine the continuing dosing of his diuretics. # ALCOHOLIC CIRRHOSIS: Currently still drinking. Given super-imposed alc hep and infection MELD may be more reflective of acuity than stage per se. Patient had a history of varices, s/p banding about 1mo ago; was due for Dr. ___ EGD on ___ ___. EGD on ___ showed ___ and pt started on fluconazole. # COAGULOPATHY: No evidence of bleeding on this admit. We cont Heparin SC and gave vitamin k 5 mg x 3 days.
