The pain began abruptly the morning of presentation, was present in the axilla and chest, not associated with palpitations, chest pressure. It is associated with dyspnea on exertion and pleuritic chest pain. No fevers, chills, or cough. Patient had C2D8 Gemzar/Abraxane on ___. Has been using his oral analgesics at home without significant relief. Has had multiple episodes of non-bloody vomiting, unchanged from the week in clinic, and a 3 lb weight loss in 3 days. Vitals in the ER: 99.1 57 ___ 100% RA Pt received Zofran 4mg IV x2, Dilaudid 1mg IV, and IV heparin ggt with a bolus (ER did not have a reason for choosing Heparin over Lovenox) . REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: (+) Per HPI (-) Denies fever, Denies headache, sinus tenderness, rhinorrhea or congestion. Denies cough, chest pain, chest pressure, palpitations, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain. Denies dysuria, frequency, or urgency. Denies arthralgias or myalgias. Denies rashes or skin changes. All other ROS negative . Past Medical History: ONCOLOGIC HISTORY: He presented to his primary care physician on ___, with epigastric pain that was unrelieved with antacids Prilosec or Protonix. Abdominal ultrasound at ___ on ___, showed multiple circumscribed lesions in both liver lobes that were suspicious for neoplasm. The largest was 3.4 x 2.2 x 3.4 cm in the right lobe. He met with Dr. ___ on ___, and started hydrochlorothiazide for hypertension and a Prevpac for positive H. pylori as was detected on routine screening labs that were drawn on ___. A CT of the abdomen and pelvis was performed and showed numerous hypoenhancing liver lesions without biliary dilatation. There is an ill-defined soft tissue abutting the pancreatic head and neck, measuring 3 x 2.8 x 4 cm with a similar focus of tissue along the periphery of the distal pancreatic body without pancreatic ductal dilatation. He had extensive peripancreatic aortocaval and left paraaortic lymphadenopathy that appeared to be causing at least a partial gastric outlet obstruction. His labs were remarkable for an ALT of 391 and AST of 151 and alkaline phosphatase of 392 and a total bilirubin of 2.88, CEA was 37.2 and his CA ___ was approximately 45,000. On ___, an ERCP showed a 2 cm stricture in the common bile duct consistent with a prestenotic biliary dilatation, a biliary stent was placed, and common bile duct brushings were performed. These were negative for malignant cells. On ___, he underwent an endoscopic ultrasound with Dr. ___ demonstrated a mass measuring 3.2 x 2.4 cm in the pancreatic neck, which was hypoechoic and heterogeneous in echotexture with irregular and poorly defined borders. There was suspicion for invasion into the splenic vein and SMV as well. Multiple liver lesions were seen in the left lobe. FNA of the pancreatic head mass as well as the celiac lymph node demonstrated positive cytology for adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated and cell block was consistent with a signet ring morphology. We initially saw him on ___, he had significant abdominal pain despite frequent p.r.n. oxycodone, and he was jaundiced with a bilirubin of 7.1 and unable to tolerate any oral liquids. In addition, he had had no bowel movement for three weeks. He was admitted to the hospital and eventually discharged on ___. ERCP was performed with removal of his common bile duct stent and replacement of the right and left hepatic ducts stents with improvement in his total bilirubin to 3. He had a bowel movement after enemas and was able to tolerate p.o.s without nausea and vomiting. An attempted celiac plexus neurolysis was made, but not performed due to inability to identify the plexus due to surrounding adenopathy. He was initiated on long-term oxycodone and p.r.n. Dilaudid. He began cycle 1, day 1 of gemcitabine and Abraxane chemotherapy, which were both dose reduced by 20% because of his total bilirubin of 2.5. Chemo was held on cycle 1, day 8 because his platelet count was 68,000. His serum sodium was also 126. He received two liters of IV fluid and stopped hydrochlorothiazide. He returned for second dose of gentamicin and Abraxane on ___, and had significant pruritus and evidence for cellulitis on his nose, pain control was better. He was admitted to ___ on ___, through ___, with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that resolved with supportive care. C. difficile and norovirus testing was negative. This was felt to be most likely a viral gastroenteritis. He was seen again on ___, for the institution of cycle 2, day 1 of gemcitabine and Abraxane therapy Past Medical Hx: Hypertension .

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CT OF THE CHEST WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ woman with hypoxic respiratory distress, also with smoking history and tracheal deviation. Evaluate for mass, pulmonary embolus. CT OF THE CHEST WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST, TECHNIQUE: Multidetector scanning is performed from the thoracic inlet through the diaphragm prior to and during dynamic injection of 100 cc of Omnipaque. No prior studies are available for comparison. There are small peritracheal lymph nodes, the largest node measures 0.9 x 0.8 cm. These do not meet CT criteria for pathologic enlargement. There is no axillary lymphadenopathy. There is prominent soft tissue in the hilum bilaterally. In the left hilum, this measures 1.1 x 1.1 cm. Right hilar lymphadenopathy measures 1.5 x 1.4 cm. There are no pleural effusions. On lung windows, there are focal opacities in the upper lobes, right more than left, in the right middle lobe and both lower lobes. While some of these areas enhance normally with IV contrast and thus represent atelectasis, other foci are less enhancing (series 3, image 59 in the left lower lobe and series 3, image 55 in the right lower lobe). The trachea is somewhat deviated to the right; however, this is due to the aortic arch. There is no mass causing tracheal deviation. The depicted portions of the liver and spleen are unremarkable. On bone windows, there are no concerning osteolytic or osteosclerotic lesions. CT ANGIOGRAPHY: The ascending aorta is normal in caliber measuring 2.7 cm. There is no filling defect in the pulmonary arteries or its branches. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for PE. 2. Multifocal pneumonia involving the right upper, middle and both lower lobes with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. 3. No evidence for a mass. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Pneumonia, oxygen requirement, evaluation for progression. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the pre-existing volume loss in the middle lobe has improved. However, the pre-existing right basal opacity, predominantly in peribronchial location and displaying multiple air bronchograms, unchanged. Minimal improvement of a pre-existing retrocardiac atelectasis, a pre-existing plate-like atelectasis at the left lung base has resolved. Unchanged moderate cardiomegaly, no indication for pleural effusions. Signs of mild fluid overload might be present. Radiology Report INDICATION: Advanced Alzheimer's and pneumonia. Please evaluate for urinary retention as nursing continues to show greater than 700 cc on the bladder scanner despite placement of a Foley catheter. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: The bladder is distended, with a calculated volume of 713 mL. There is no Foley catheter identified within the bladder. IMPRESSION: Distended bladder to 713 mL. No Foley catheter is seen within the bladder. Radiology Report ULTRASOUND: INDICATION: ___ woman with pneumonia and bladder over 70 mL. Please evaluate disease. Foley balloon is visualized and bladder are not seen on exam yesterday ? concern for cyst. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to previous ultrasound dated ___. FINDINGS: A Foley catheter is identified within a collapsed bladder. Superior to the bladder, there is a 10.6 x 8.8 x 11.9 cm cystic structure with no internal nodules or suspicious features, which is deviating the uterus anteriorly. There are multiple calcified fibroids within the uterus, the largest measuring 1.9 x 1.7 x 1.8 cm within the lower uterine segment. The uterus measures 4.5 x 2.7 cm in transverse dimension. Normal endometrial thickness of 4 mm. The ovaries were not visualized bilaterally. IMPRESSION: Foley catheter present within a collapsed bladder. Superior to the bladder there is a large cystic structure with no internal nodules identified. This may represent a paraovarian or ovarian cyst or peritoneal inclusion cyst. MRI pelvis is suggested for further characterization. Findings were discussed with Dr. ___ by phone with Dr. ___ ___ at 1:46pm on ___. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH HISTORY: Shortness of breath. COMPARISONS: None. TECHNIQUE: Chest, portable semi-upright AP portable. FINDINGS: The heart is mild to moderately enlarged. Mild unfolding of the thoracic aorta is noted. The pulmonary vascularity is minimally prominent. Streaky left mid and lower lung opacities are probably compatible with minor atelectasis, but there is also a vague retrocardiac opacity. There is more widespread but patchy opacification involving the right lower lung, probably in the right middle lobe, raising concern for pneumonia. IMPRESSION: Basilar opacities worrisome for pneumonia in the appropriate clinical setting although lower airway inflammation, atelectasis or even aspiration are other etiologies that could be considered in the appropriate clinical setting. Although there is perhaps minimal vascular prominence, since opacities are focal in the lower lungs, pulmonary edema is doubted as the primary etiology but could be seen with an atypical pattern. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 3:36 A.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ woman with cough, fever and hypoxia. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___, 5:24 p.m.: Volume loss has developed in a region of prior consolidation in the right lower lobe, probably in the course of developing pneumonia with retained secretions. Atelectasis in the left mid lung is more linear. Moderate cardiomegaly and mediastinal vascular engorgement have increased suggesting a component of mild cardiac decompensation. Pleural effusions are small, if any. No pneumothorax.

Chief Complaint: AMS, fever Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___ Central venous line History of Present Illness: History of Present Illness: ___ year old male with history of mild cognitive impairment, hyperlipidemia, BPH, and gout presents with altered mental status, vomiting, and shaking chills. He was watching ___ speak at the ___ and he began to feel very cold and started vomiting. As the night went on, he became more tired and less responsive and the wife called EMS. She reported to them that he was not acting like himself and was talking nonsense. On transfer, he became more lethargic and even less responsive. Patient triggered on arrival for altered mental status. ___ sugar was normal. He took his first dose of donepezil tonight, but did not make any other medication changes. No other localizing symptoms to speak of. Per urgent care note from Dr. ___ experienced malaise with numbness in his fingers and chills while in ___, ___ ___ about 4 weeks ago. He was taken to the local emergency room in that area (___) and his symptoms of fever and malaise resolved since then. No definite cause of this acute illness was found. There was a concern about possible Lyme disease because of exposure to deer near his home. The patient denies any tick bite and claims that he rarely goes out in his yard, where they do have deer. He was started on doxycycline for concern of potential Lyme exposure given that they live in a wooded area. Lyme serology eventually returned negative. The wife reports that his current symptoms are very similar to this presentation, but he appeared more confused this time. In the ED, initial vitals were: 122 102/55 28 91% 2L NC. He was following basic commands on arrival. Rectal temp of 103. Labs were notable for low WBC at 3.5 and otherwise normal CBC. Creatinine on 1.3 close to baseline and LFTs within normal limits. Lactate originally at 4.3, then repeated at 5.7 after 2L NS. Urinalysis unremarkable and CXR clear. Head CT without acute intracranial process and moderate paranasal sinus disease, similar to prior. CT abd/pelv showed a hiatal hernia, cholelithiasis w/o cholecystitis, nonspecific perinephric stranding, enlarged prostate, small left fat-containing inguinal hernia (similar to prior CT in ___. Without obvious infectious cause, he was covered empirically with vanc/zosyn + ceftriaxone. LP refused by wife. ___ pressures have trended down to the SBPs ___ but wife also refused ___ placement so patient was started on peripheral norepinephrine. 4th liter hanging prior to transfer and SBPs in ___ with normal oxygenation. On arrival to the MICU, he continued to be hypotensive despite uptitration of levophed and another 1L NS bolus.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of R handed weakness, difficulty speaking, and lower extremity weakness resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: Carotid Artery Stenosis High Cholesterol High Blood Pressure Carotid Endarterectomy Patient Discharge Instructions: WHAT TO EXPECT: Bruising, tenderness, mild swelling, numbness and/or a firm ridge at the incision site is normal. This will improve gradually in the next 2 weeks. You may have a sore throat and or mild hoarseness. Warm tea, throat lozenges, or cool drinks usually help. It is normal to feel tired for ___ weeks after your surgery. MEDICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Before you leave the hospital, you will be given a list of all the medicine you should take at home. If a medication that you normally take is not on the list or a medication that you do not take is on the list please discuss it with the team! It is very important that you take Aspirin every day! You should never stop this medication before checking with your surgeon. You should take Tylenol ___ every 6 hours, as needed for neck pain. If this is not enough, take your prescription pain medication. You should require less pain medication each day. Do not take more than a daily total of 3000mg of Tylenol. Tylenol is used as an ingredient in some other over-the-counter and prescription medications. Be aware of how much Tylenol you are taking in a day. Narcotic pain medication can be very constipating. If you take narcotics, please also take a stool softener such as Colace. If constipation becomes a problem, your pharmacist can suggest an additional over the counter laxative. CARE OF YOUR NECK INCISION: You may shower 48 hours after your procedure. Avoid direct shower spray to the incision. Let soapy water run over the incision, then rinse and gently pat the area dry. Do not scrub the incision. Your neck incision may be left open to air and uncovered unless you have a small amount of drainage at the site. If drainage is present, place a small sterile gauze over the incision and change the gauze daily. Do not take a bath or go swimming for 2 weeks. ACTIVITY: Do not drive for one week after your procedure. Do not ever drive after taking narcotic pain medication. You should not push, pull, lift or carry anything heavier than 5 pounds for the next 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, you may return to your regular activities including exercise, sexual activitiy and work. DIET: It is normal to have a decreased appetite. Your appetite will return over time. Follow a well-balanced, heart healthy diet, with moderate restriction of salt and fat. SMOKING: If you smoke, it is very important for you to stop. Research has shown that smoking makes vascular disease worse. Talk to your primary care physician about ways to quit smoking. If you use tobacco, the ___ Smokers' Helpline is a FREE and confidential way to get support and information to help you quit smoking.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to the hospital with severe chest pain, rash and fevers. You were thought to be having a reaction to bactrim and this medication was stopped. You were found to have esophagitis (inflammation in your food pipe aka esophagus) which was treated with fluconazole and acyclovir. It is important that you take valcyclovir as prescribed until ___. You were also found to have very abnormal liver function tests and pain around your liver. A liver biopsy was done and showed chronic changes from hepatitis C as well as acute inflammation. Your acute inflammation improved. It is important that you follow-up with the liver doctors to continue to discuss treatment of your liver and your hepatitis C. While you were here, your white blood cell counts dropped and you were treated with antibiotics for your fevers and low blood counts. These have started to resolve after stopping primaquine (for PCP) and with starting antiretroviral medications. In order to prevent this infection from re-occurring it is very important to take your atovaquone everyday. It is VERY important that you continue to take all of your medications exactly as prescribed to prevent recurrence of infections related to your disease. After discharge, you will follow-up at ___ program for partial psychiatric hospitalization, a day program to work on depression and anxiety related to your illness. Please call ___ at ___ to set up an intake appointment for ___ or ___ of this week. It was a pleasure taking care of you! Your ___ Team

Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 725 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Hip radiograph ___ FINDINGS: There is an acute fracture of the greater trochanter (2:72, 300b:71) of the left proximal femur. The left femoral neck is intact. No additional fractures seen. Left hip and gluteal intramuscular hematoma noted, measures at least 4.3 x 4.7 cm (2:84). Severe multilevel degenerative changes are noted throughout the lumbar spine. Also noted is a small amount of RP and left pelvic hematoma is seen tracking along the lower aorta and the left iliac vessels (series 2, images 14- 45). The partially visualized small and bowel loops demonstrate no gross abnormalities. Appendix is normal. Left kidney is markedly atrophic, but only partially imaged. Bladder is unremarkable. Prostate gland is enlarged. IMPRESSION: Acute fracture of the greater trochanter of the left proximal femur. Associated left hip and gluteal intramuscular hematoma. Small amount of left intrapelvic hematoma. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ with dementia s/p fall, no neck ttp, L sided head ttp // eval ? ICH, neck injury TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also performed. DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 1,003 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: ___ noncontrast head CT. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute territorial infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or large mass. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is suggestive of global volume loss. There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are essentially clear besides partially opacified left ethmoids. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable. Cavernous carotid calcifications are severe. IMPRESSION: Global volume loss without acute intracranial process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ with dementia s/p fall, no neck ttp, L sided head ttp // eval ? ICH, neck injury TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast helical multidetector CT was performed. Axial image data was collimated to display separate 2.5 mm soft tissue and bone algorithm axial images. Coronal and sagittal reformations were then constructed. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 1,777 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT C-spine ___ FINDINGS: Alignment is normal. No fractures are identified. There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. Atherosclerotic calcification of the carotid arteries bilaterally is seen. Irregular dependent opacity in the trachea (03:59) is likely debris. Multilevel degenerative changes are again seen. IMPRESSION: No acute fracture or traumatic malalignment. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ with s/p fall and L sided injuries // eval ? shoulder / elbow fx TECHNIQUE: Three views of the left shoulder. COMPARISON: Correlation made to CT torso from ___ and chest CT from ___. FINDINGS: There is no acute fracture. Moderate degenerative changes noted at the acromioclavicular joint. Glenohumeral joint is anatomically aligned. There is lucent lesion within the left scapular body better seen on prior exams. Included portion of the left ribs are unremarkable. Interstitial opacities in the lungs are better seen on concurrent chest CT. IMPRESSION: No fracture or dislocation. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ with s/p fall and L sided injuries // eval ? shoulder / elbow fx TECHNIQUE: Three views of the left elbow. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Extensive heterotopic bone formation seen at the medial condyle and coronoid process as on prior. This limits evaluation for subtle osseous abnormality. No displaced fractures are identified. There is a linear lucency through the region of the radial head on the oblique view (image 1) but given significant overlap of adjacent osseous structures, is not definitive for fracture. Cannot assess for elbow joint effusion given low positioning on the lateral view. IMPRESSION: Heterotopic ossification which significantly limits evaluation. Linear lucency through the radial head on one view could be due to overlapping shadows although fracture would be difficult to exclude. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ with s/p fall L sided hip and femur pain // eval ? L hip / femur fx TECHNIQUE: AP view of the pelvis. AP and lateral views of the proximal and distal left femur. COMPARISON: Scout view of prior PET-CT from ___. FINDINGS: There is slight cortical irregularityinvolving the lateral and medial aspect of the left greater trochanter raising the possibility of fracture. The left femur is otherwise unremarkable. Femoroacetabular joint is anatomically aligned. Extensive degenerative changes partially visualized at the left knee with joint space loss, osteophyte formation and subchondral sclerosis. The pubic symphysis and SI joints are preserved. Mild degenerative changes noted at the hips bilaterally. Degenerative changes are noted in the lower lumbar spine. IMPRESSION: Cortical irregularity raising possibility of fracture involving the left greater trochanter. If desired, CT scan could help further characterize. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ s/p fall L sided injuries, T-spine ttp // eval ? rib fractures, intrathoracic injury. Please obtain T-spine recons TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax without intravenous contrast. Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and thoracic spine images were submitted to PACS and reviewed. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 726 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: FDG PET-CT ___ and CT torso ___ FINDINGS: The ascending aorta measures 4.5 cm at the level of the main pulmonary artery, similar to prior PET-CT. Great vessels are unremarkable. The main pulmonary artery measures up to 4.4 cm. Opacity in the trachea is partially aerated and likely represents debris. There is mild dependent atelectasis and paraseptal emphysema bilaterally. Increased interstitial markings in a subpleural and basilar distribution raises the possibility of underlying interstitial process such as fibrosis. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The airways are patent to the subsegmental level. Coronary artery calcifications are significant. Cardiomegaly is moderate. Small pericardial effusion is similar to prior. There is no supraclavicular, axillary, or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The thyroid is unremarkable. The spleen is enlarged measures 17 cm. Ovoid hypodensities in the spleen, the largest measuring up to 1.8 cm, are incompletely characterized. The left kidney is atrophic. No lytic or blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified. Focal lucencies involving the C6 vertebral body and the left C6 pedicle appear similar to CT torso ___. Lucent lesion in the left scapula is unchanged from ___. IMPRESSION: 1. No fracture or evidence of acute injury. 2. Changes in the lungs raise the possibility of underlying interstitial process such as fibrosis. 3. Persistent small pericardial effusion. 4. Splenomegaly. 5. Enlarged main pulmonary artery suggests pulmonary hypertension.

Dear Mr. ___ and family, You were admitted to ___ on ___ with pain in your left hip and arm after falling at home. You had a scan of your brain and spine to make sure you didn't have a life-threatening injury. You also had X-rays of your hip, arm, and shoulder, as well as a scan of your hip; these showed that you had fractured a small part of your thigh bone. You were evaluated by the orthopedic surgery team. They determined that you did not require surgery and that your bone would recover on its own. You worked with physical therapists who determined that you would need strengthening to avoid falls in the future. You will go to rehab where physical therapists will work with you to strengthen your muscles as you recover. Please use a walker when you walk, since your risk of another fall is extremely high. At night, please use a commode or urinal by your bed, rather than getting up to go to the bathroom. You may want to have a fall alarm at home so that someone can help you if you get out of bed. If you have increasing pain, another fall, or any new symptoms, please call a doctor. It has been a pleasure taking part in your care, Best wishes, Your ___ Team

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of headache and dizziness that were concerning for stroke. As you know, you have had strokes in the past. Because of your stroke history, we admitted you to the hospital to manage your symptoms and determine if you had a new stroke. The type of stroke you have had in the past occurs from lack of blood flow to an area of the brain. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. We did an MRI of your brain to look for a new stroke. We found a small new stroke in the area of your old stroke. Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: - Diabetes - High Cholesterol - High Blood Pressure We added a baby aspirin to your list of medications to protect you from stroke. Please continue to take your medicines as prescribed. Please followup with Neurology and your primary care physician. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - Sudden partial or complete loss of vision - Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - Sudden weakness of one side of the body - Sudden drooping of one side of the face - Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body Sincerely, Your ___ Neurology Team

You were admitted to the hospital for a small bowel obstruction. You were given bowel rest and intravenous fluids and a nasogastric tube was placed in your stomach to decompress your bowels. Your obstruction has subsequently resolved after conservative management. You have tolerated a regular diet, are passing gas and your pain is controlled with pain medications by mouth. You may return home to finish your recovery. Please monitor your bowel function closely. You may or may not have had a bowel movement prior to your discharge which is acceptable, however it is important that you have a bowel movement in the next ___ days. After anesthesia it is not uncommon for patient’s to have some decrease in bowel function but you should not have prolonged constipation. Some loose stool and passing of small amounts of dark, old appearing blood are expected. However, if you notice that you are passing bright red blood with bowel movements or having loose stool without improvement please call the office or go to the emergency room if the symptoms are severe. If you are taking narcotic pain medications there is a risk that you will have some constipation. Please take an over the counter stool softener such as Colace, and if the symptoms do not improve call the office. If you have any of the following symptoms please call the office for advice or go to the emergency room if severe: increasing abdominal distension, increasing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, inability to tolerate food or liquids, prolonged loose stool, or extended constipation. Thank you for allowing us to participate in your care! Our hope is that you will have a quick return to your life and usual activities. Good luck!

Of note, she has had multiple recent hospitalizations. ___ for Strep group C bacteremia thought to be from chronic ___ skin wounds in setting of chronic immunosuppression. She then was admitted ___ for ___ complicated cellulitis. During both hospitalizations she endorsed abdominal pain though possibly d/t mesenteric ischemia iso hypotension for sepsis. Both hospital stays were also c/b atrial tachycardia possibly triggered by hypovolemia iso sepsis. Since that discharge she was followed up by PCP where she reported feeling well. She also followed up with cariology outpatient for holter monitoring, which upon review showed some episodes of atach. Plan was for further monitoring with Ziopatch to determine burden with consideration for CCB as she was previous intolerant of beta-blocker. She also followed up with podiatry on ___ who completed in-clinic debridement. On day of presentation to the ED, she reported having a HA and 104 fever for which prompted her to call EMS.

Coronal and sagittal reformations were generated and reviewed. DOSE: 892 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There is an nondisplaced fracture of the frontal bone, located in the midline at the vertex and taking a right parasagittal course inferiorly. No extension into the frontal sinus orbit is seen. There is a small right frontal subgaleal hematoma. Best seen on sequence 2, images 26 and 25, as well as coronal sequence 601 b, image 44, there is a 1.0 x 0.9 cm right superior frontal hemorrhagic contusion with minimal edema. There is a small adjacent extracted hematoma without mass effect, which may be epidural given the adjacent fracture. There are bilateral anterior/inferior frontal subdural hematomas, larger on the right, extending along the right anterior falx. On the left, the subdural hematoma also extends into the middle cranial fossa along the lateral, medial, anterior, and inferior temporal lobe. There is no sulcal effacement or shift of midline structures. Ventricles and sulci are prominent due to underlying age-related cerebral atrophy. Fluid density space in the anterior aspect of the right middle cranial fossa is suggestive of an arachnoid cyst. Basal cisterns are not compressed. There is minimal mucosal thickening in anterior ethmoidal air cells bilaterally. Other visualized paranasal sinuses are well aerated. Right mastoid air cells are partially opacified. Left mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Nondisplaced fracture involving the midline and right aspects of the frontal bone. 2. Small right superior frontal hemorrhagic contusion. Adjacent small extra-axial hematoma, without mass effect, may be were, given the proximity to the frontal bone fracture. 3. Small bilateral subdural hematomas, along the frontal lobe on the right, and along the frontal and temporal lobes on the left. No significant mass effect due to underlying age-related cerebral atrophy. 4. Probable arachnoid cyst in the right middle cranial fossa. NOTIFICATION: These findings communicated to the ED physician via telephone at 6:05 am on ___ at the time findings were discovered. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: NON CONTRAST HEAD CT INDICATION: Right frontal subdural hematoma. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the head without IV contrast. Sagittal, coronal and bone thin algorithm reconstructions were generated. Total exam DLP: 892 mGy-cm. CTDI: 53 mGy. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___ at 05:31. FINDINGS: Nondisplaced fracture involving the midline and right aspect of the right frontal bone is again seen. Right superior frontal hemorrhagic contusion has increased in size, now measuring 14 x 10 mm (series 2, image 23). There is surrounding mild vasogenic edema. Small adjacent extra-axial hematoma, which may be epidural given the proximity to the fracture, is stable in size. Bilateral inferior frontal subdural hematomas, slightly larger on the right, which extend along the anterior inferior falx, are stable. Small subdural hematoma surrounding the left temporal lobe is stable. There is no associated sulcal effacement, given the underlying age-related cerebral atrophy. There is no shift of normally midline structures. The basal cisterns are not compressed. A probable arachnoid cyst is again seen in the right middle cranial fossa. A small focus of hypodensity in the left caudate head likely reflects a prior lacunar infarction (series 2, image 14). Areas of low density in the periventricular and deep white matter of the cerebral hemispheres are likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of this age. Partial right mastoid air cell opacification and mild mucosal thickening in bilateral ethmoid air cells are again seen. IMPRESSION: 1. Interim enlargement of the right frontal hemorrhagic contusion. 2. Small right superior frontal extra-axial hematoma adjacent to the nondisplaced frontal bone fracture is stable. This may represent an epidural hematoma. 3. Bilateral frontal and left temporal subdural hematomas are stable.

COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis on ___. FINDINGS: No evidence of free air. Surgical clips project of the left upper quadrant. Patient is status post total colectomy. A gas-filled loop of small bowel in the right mid abdomen measures up to 4.5 cm in diameter, without air-fluid levels. IMPRESSION: No evidence of free air. Focally dilated loop of small bowel in the right mid abdomen. CT can be performed for further evaluation. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the ___ ___ at 5:41 ___, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR ___ INDICATION: History of Crohn's disease with worsening abdominal pain. Evaluate for cause of pain. 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 900 mL of VoLumen. 1.0 mg of Glucagon was administered IM to reduce bowel peristalsis. COMPARISON: CT of the abdomen and pelvis from ___. MR enterography from ___. FINDINGS: MR ENTEROGRAPHY: The patient is status post colectomy. The distal aspect of the ileal pouch has mild wall hyperenhancement and surrounding fat stranding, compatible with mild pouchitis. It is unchanged from the prior exam. The superior pouch wall is normally enhancing without significant thickening or evidence of edema. The anastomosis appears patent. There is no significant upstream dilation to suggest obstruction, though the upstream ileum is mildly patulous, similar to the prior exams, and likely due to chronic changes. The remainder of the small bowel appears to be within normal limits. There is no edema, mucosal hyperenhancement, or abnormal wall thickening. No fistula or abscess is identified. Adjacent to the stomach, there is nonenhancing soft tissue which is slightly hypointense on the T2 weighted images (6, 1). This was better characterized on the prior CT. There is no fluid within this region to suggest an abscess. This likely represents post surgical changes, possibly chronic fat necrosis. There are no abnormal mesenteric lymph nodes or mesenteritis. Trace free fluid is identified in the perihepatic space, which is nonspecific (4, 18). MRI OF THE ABDOMEN AND PELVIS: The imaged portions of the liver are normal without a focal lesion. The portal veins are patent. There is no intra or extrahepatic biliary duct dilation. Note, the entire liver is not included in the field of view. The gallbladder is underdistended, which limits its evaluation. Within the limitations, it is normal. No stones are identified. The spleen is normal in size, measuring 12.4 cm. There are no focal lesions. A 21 mm accessory spleen is noted in the left upper quadrant. The pancreas is normal without duct dilation or a mass. The bilateral adrenal glands and kidneys are normal. There are no worrisome renal lesions, hydronephrosis, or perinephric abnormalities. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of an aneurysm or significant atherosclerotic plaque. Incidentally noted is an accessory right renal artery. There is no retroperitoneal or periportal lymphadenopathy. The bladder is unremarkable without wall thickening or a mass. The imaged portions of the seminal vesicles and prostate gland are within normal limits. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. No free fluid is identified in the pelvis. There are no concerning osseous lesions. Postsurgical changes are noted in the anterior abdominal wall, with foci of susceptibility artifact and scarring. No hernia or fluid collection is identified. The soft tissues are otherwise unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Unchanged mild pouchitis. 2. No evidence of active Crohn's disease in the small bowel. 3. No fistula or abscess. 4. Stable longstanding probable sequelae of fat necrosis in left upper quadrant. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: ___ year old man with new line // new right PICC 44 cm ___ ___ Contact name: ___: ___ TECHNIQUE: Single frontal view of the chest COMPARISON: ___ IMPRESSION: Right PICC tip is in thecavoatrial junction. Cardiac size is normal. The lungs are clear. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old male with Crohn's disease status post flexible sigmoidoscopy on ___ with worsening abdominal abdominal pain. Evaluate for acute intra-abdominal process or bowel perforation. TECHNIQUE: Single phase split bolus contrast: MDCT axial images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis following intravenous contrast administration with split bolus technique. Oral contrast was not administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Stationary Acquisition 3.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 14.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 7.2 mGy-cm. 2) Spiral Acquisition 4.4 s, 47.5 cm; CTDIvol = 11.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 537.8 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 545 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: MRE from ___ and abdominal radiograph from ___. 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 is no evidence of focal lesions. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. There is a trace amount of hematoma, similar to prior exam and likely post-surgical in nature. 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 no evidence of focal renal lesions or hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement throughout. The patient is status post colectomy and ileal pouch anastomosis. Surgical clips are noted along the splenic flexure and anterior abdomen. There is mucosal hyperemia of the reservoir pouch and just proximal to the anastomosis concerning for Crohn's flare. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The prostate and seminal vesicles are unremarkable.

Mr. ___, You were admitted with fever likely due to hepatobiliary source in setting of your cancer, which is now the second similar recent infection in the past month. You were treated with antibiotics with good control of the infection. The interventional radiology team took pictures that did not show evidence of bile duct blockage. You also developed anemia requiring blood transfusions. Although you may have some anemia in the setting of your cancer this acute drop is likely the setting of infection, which should improve over the next couple weeks. Dr. ___ will continue to follow your numbers. You will follow up with Dr. ___ to determine when to resume chemotherapy. Please take all medications as prescribed and keep all scheduled doctor's appointments. Seek medical attention if you develop a worsening or recurrence of the same symptoms that originally brought you to the hospital, experience any of the warning signs listed below, or have any other symptoms that concern you. We discussed risks of combining opiates with benzo diazepines and described not driving for the time being. We discussed taking the lowest effective dose and not combining with alcohol. We started a blood thinner, lovenox injections to treat blood clots. It was a pleasure taking care of you! Your ___ Care Team

Chief Complaint: Tunneled HD line accidental removal Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___ tunneled hemodialysis line placement History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ with ESRD (MWF sessions) secondary to HTN versus hepatitis C, and previous CVA who presents because she accidentally removed her tunneled HD line in her sleep last night and she has no current suitable HD access. She was recently admitted to ___ ___ with a staph epidermidis HD catheter related blood stream infection that was treated with line removal, holiday, and replacement, followed by 4 weeks of vancomycin with HD ending on ___ (she sadly missed many of her OPAT appointments). Prior to that she was hospitalized from ___ with a Pantoea species catheter-related BSI that required several weeks of ceftazidime QHD. She has a poor followup compliance record- for this reason it was felt that she needed inpatient admission for line replacement and HD. She has a complicated HD access history- She had a left upper arm AV fistula that required multiple interventions and ultimately thrombosed and was non-salvageable.

PHYSICIAN: ___, M.D., fellow, performed the procedure. ___, M.D., attending, was present and supervising the procedure. MEDICATIONS: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of fentanyl totalling 175 mcg and Versed totaling 3.5 mg throughout the total intraservice time of 25 minutes, during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. PROCEDURE: Replacement of left IJ tunneled hemodialysis line through existing tract. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Informed consent was obtained from the patient. She was positioned supine. The area was prepped and draped in sterile fashion. A timeout was performed. Fluoroscopy was used intermittently. Local anesthesia was applied. A micropuncture sheath was gently inserted into the tunnel exit site, and local anesthesia was injected through this as well. We then gently probed with a 0.018 wire through the micropuncture sheath to enter into the venous structures. Over this wire, we then used the AccuStick sheath, and with this sheath tip in the venous structures, we removed the inner stiffener and the 0.018 wire and then placed a 0.035 wire all the way into the inferior vena cava to confirm venous placement. We then performed serial dilation over this wire and placed the peel-away sheath for the new catheter over this wire through the tunnel, the tip of which was in the superior vena cava. The new 27-cm tip-to-cuff length hemodialysis catheter had been soaked in antibiotic solution. This was also flushed. This was then pushed through the peel-away sheath to have its tip in the right atrium. It was secured to the skin with suture and covered with an appropriate dressing. Both lumens aspirated and flushed very easily. Heparin was left dwelling in the line. The position was documented on the fluoroscopic scout image. There were no complications. CONCLUSION: Uncomplicated replacement of tunneled hemodialysis line through the existing tract into the left internal jugular vein, tip in the right atrium, 27-cm tip-to-cuff length.

Ms. ___: Please bring this documentation with you to dialysis, so that they may also review your recent medical history. It was a pleasure to take care of you here at ___. You were admitted to the hospital because of an accidental removal of your tunneled hemodialysis line, which is necessary for dialysis. While here, we continued you on antibiotics including an additional dose of vancomycin (to complete treatment for your previous blood stream infection) as well as cefepime and ceftazidime because of erythema (redness) around your fistula site on your right arm. This erythema may have been a simple tape reaction, but given the importance of the fistula, antibiotics were applied. Once you received antibiotics and blood cultures remained negative, you received another hemodialysis line placement via interventional radiology with plan to resume normal dialysis. We are discharging you with a plan to resume normal hemodialysis treatment. We would also like you to receive ceftazidime for a week to continue treatment for potential infection around the fistula site. You no longer need to be treated with IV vancomycin or vancomycin dwells in the catheter, as you have completed this treatment regimen. Changes to your medication regimen include: -discontinue vancomycin -start ceftazidime with HD as prescribed

Medications on Admission: none Discharge Medications: none Discharge Disposition: Home Discharge Diagnosis: L2 compression fracture Discharge Condition: neurologically intact Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Lumbar spine without contrast, ___. HISTORY: ___ female status post fall with L2 compression fracture with mild retropulsion (seen on CT torso). TECHNIQUE: Routine ___ non-enhanced study with sagittal STIR FSE sequence. FINDINGS: The study is compared with the prompting CECT of the torso (___) obtained some six hours earlier. There is transitional anatomy at the lumbosacral junction with partial lumbarization of the first sacral segment. Based on numbering from the most caudal rib-bearing thoracic vertebral body, the vertebra, bearing the iliolumbar ligaments is numbered "L5." Using this schema, the thecal sac terminates at the S2-3 level. As on the prompting study, there is a markedly abnormal appearance to the L2 vertebral body which demonstrates relatively uniform STIR-hyperintensity representing marrow edema centered about a low-signal fracture line involving the superior endplate. There is anterior wedge deformity with approximately 50% loss of height, compared to its neighbors. There is 5 mm retropulsion of the superior aspect of the dorsal cortex which slightly narrows the ventral canal, effacing that aspect of the thecal sac, with no definite impingement upon the proximal nerve roots of the cauda equina. There is only mild kyphosis centered at this level. The conus medullaris is normal in morphology and terminates immediately rostral to this site, at the L1-L2 level. The remaining lumbar vertebrae demonstrate relatively uniform slight T1-hypointensity, which may represent red marrow reconversion in response to anemia (in a patient of this age and gender). Otherwise, there is only relatively mild focal STIR-hyperintensity involving the right and left lateral aspects of the L5 inferior and S1 superior endplates, representing ___ I discogenic change related to degeneration of that intervening disc. There is mild bulging, eccentric to the left which, with inferior endplate spondylosis, narrows the caudal aspect of both neural foramina, without definite exiting L5 neural impingement. The lumbar intervertebral discs are otherwise preserved in height and in signal intensity. The paraspinal and limited included retroperitoneal soft tissues are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Transitional anatomy at the lumbosacral junction with partial lumbarization of the first sacral segment and numbering schema, as above. 2. Acute compression fracture of the superior endplate of L2 with roughly 50% loss of height, anteriorly, and 5 mm retropulsion of its dorsal cortex; while this narrows the ventral canal, effacing the thecal sac, there is no definite impingement upon the conus medullaris or the proximal cauda equina nerve roots. 3.

FINDINGS: Multiple air-fluid levels are identified on the upright view. There is no free intraperitoneal air. Air and stool are identified in the distal large bowel/rectum. Patient has known chronic dilatation of the jejunum. Osseous structures are notable for mild degenerative changes of the bilateral hips. Several surgical clips are scattered throughout the abdomen. IMPRESSION: 1. Multiple air-fluid levels on the upright view. However, air and stool are identified in the distal large bowel/rectum, and patient has known chronic dilatation of the jejunum. Findings could indicate ileus. No high grade obstruction or transition point detected. 2. No free intraperitoneal air. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with recurrent SBO, no IV access // please place PICC, has required fluoro in past for placement TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ radiologist performed the procedure. ANESTHESIA: 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: none CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 0.3 min, 4 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Single lumen midline placement through the right brachial vein. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the right brachial vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. A peel-away sheath was then placed over a guidewire. The guidewire was then advanced into the superior vena cava using fluoroscopic guidance. A single lumen midline measuring 14 cm in length was then placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the right axillary under fluoroscopic guidance. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a fluoroscopic spot film of the chest. The peel-away sheath and guidewire were then removed. The catheter was secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate complications. FINDINGS: 1. The accessed vein was patent and compressible. 2. Brachialvein approach single lumen right midline with tip in the axillary vein. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of a right 14 cm brachial approach single lumen midline with tip in the axillary vein. The line is ready to use.

PERTINENT STUDIES: ___ Radiology CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEM Rotated positioning. Previously seen left IJ catheter has been removed. Left subclavian PICC line is present. The tip may be partially obscured by the spinal hardware. However, I suspect it is unchanged in position and likely lies at the SVC/RA junction. No pneumothorax is detected. Again seen is obscuration of the left diaphragm and increased retrocardiac density. There is more pronounced patchy opacity at the right base. Suspect mild pulmonary vascular plethora. ___ Radiology CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Interval extubation. Stable bilateral pleural effusions, large on the left and small on the right. Possible minimal pulmonary edema. ___ Neurophysiology EEG This is an abnormal continuous ICU monitoring study because of frequent bifrontal and parasagittal generalized periodic epileptiform discharges. Although some of the bifrontal discharges have triphasic features but, given their evolution, these are most likely related to earlier epileptiform activity. These findings are indicative of focal cortical irritability and potential epileptogenicity predominantly in the bifrontal regions. In addition, the background is diffusely slow and disorganized indicative of moderate to severe encephalopathy. Compared to the prior day's recording, there is improvement with fewer blunted discharges and longer periods of disorganized theta activity without bifrontal discharges. ___ Radiology MR HEAD W & W/O CONTRAS 1. Unchanged ventriculomegaly with associated cerebellar atrophic changes, with no evidence of transependymal migration of CSF. Scattered foci of high signal intensity are identified in the subcortical and periventricular white matter, likely consistent with chronic microvascular ischemic changes. 2. Chronic hydrocephalus, possibly communicating, is a consideration, there is no evidence of leptomeningeal enhancement to suggest arachnoiditis, the possibility of a Dandy-Walker variant is also a consideration. 3. Unchanged opacity of the ethmoidal air cells and sphenoid sinus suggesting an ongoing inflammatory process. ___ Cardiovascular ECHO Poor image quality. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%). There is no ventricular septal defect. The RV is not well seen but overall normal free wall contractility is probably normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. Mild to moderate (___) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Tricuspid regurgitation is present but cannot be quantified. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. ___ Neurophysiology EEG This is an abnormal continuous ICU monitoring study because of frequent generalized periodic epileptiform discharges (GPEDs) at times as frequent as one to two per second. These do not evolvefurther into non-convulsive status epilepticus. However, these findings are indicative of severe cortical irritability and potential epileptogenicity in a generalized distribution. The backgroundtowards the later portion of the recording is diffusely slow and disorganized indicative of moderate to severe encephalopathy. ___ Radiology BILAT LOWER EXT VEINS No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in either lower extremity. The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist . ___ Radiology CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST 1. No evidence for intracranial hemorrhage or other definite acute process. 2. Moderate enlargement of all ventricles, more striking than background cerebral atrophic changes, although cerebellar atrophy is substantial. There is no hypodensity about the ventricles to suggest transependymal edema. Correlation with clinical history is recommended and comparison to prior head CT, if available, may be helpful to assess for chronicity.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Bedbound. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: New oxygen requirement. Tachycardia. Poor mobility at baseline. TECHNIQUE: Bilateral lower extremity Doppler ultrasound. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: Grayscale and Doppler sonograms of the bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal veins were performed. Evaluation of the calf veins is limited due to body habitus. There is normal compressibility, flow and augmentation. IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in either lower extremity. Radiology Report HISTORY: Septic shock, recently intubated, question interval change. CHEST, SINGLE AP PORTABLE VIEW: Rotated positioning, low lung volumes. An ET tube is present, tip approximately 4.8 cm above the carina. An NG tube is present, tip beneath diaphragm, overlying stomach. Extensive spinal hardware noted. The heart borders are obscured, but the heart is probably not enlarged. There are diffuse opacities throughout both lungs, with denser left retrocardiac opacity and obscuration of left-greater-than-right hemidiaphragms. Possibility of small effusions cannot be excluded. Compared with ___ at 20:18 p.m.and allowing for technical differences, there has been possible increase in the degree of hazy opacity in the right and left mid zones, reflecting worsening CHF. Otherwise, findings are overall similar. IMPRESSION: 1. ET tube as described. 2. Left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation, unchanged. 3. Hazy opacity in both lungs, slightly worse in the midzones, most suggestive of worsening CHF. Possibility of underlying infectious infiltrate is difficult to exclude. 4. Possible small bilateral effusions. Radiology Report Indication: evaluate for meningitis. Comparison: none Technique: The ICU patient is intubated and sedated. Risk, benefits and alternative managment were explained to the ___, the patient's proxy, who gave us the consent over the phone.The patient was brought to the fluroscopy room and was placed on the table in prone position. A pre-procedure timeout and huddle per ___ standard was performed prior to the initiation of the procedure. The lower back was prepped and drapped in the usual sterile fashion. After subcutaneos administration of 1% lidocaine, a spinal needle was placed at the level of L4 under fluoroscopic guidance, and 18 cc of CSF were extracted and sent to the lab. No complications. Dr. ___ was ___ during the entire procedure. Radiology Report HISTORY: Chest, single AP portable view. Rotated positioning. Note is made of a wet reading provided by radiology resident, Dr. ___. An ET tube is present, tip approximately 6 cm above the carina. Left IJ central line is present, tip difficult to assess, but likely overlying right atrium. An NG tube is present, tip extending beneath diaphragm, off film. Bilateral spinal hardware noted. There are very low inspiratory volumes, with hazy opacity throughout both lungs. The appearance is grossly unchanged compared with ___ at 3:55 a.m., but, in this setting, it is difficult to distinguish pulmonary edema, pleural fluid, infectious infiltrates, and even ARDS. Because findings have progressed relatively rapidly compared with at ___ at 11:12 a.m., a component of CHF should be considered. Radiology Report STUDY: MRI of the head with and without contrast. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ woman with non-conclusive status. Assess for meningeal enhancement. COMPARISON: Prior head CT dated ___. TECHNIQUE: Pre-contrast axial and sagittal T1-weighted images were obtained, axial FLAIR, axial T2, axial magnetic susceptibility, and axial diffusion-weighted sequences, the T1-weighted sequences were repeated after the administration of gadolinium contrast in axial T1, sagittal MP-RAGE, axial and coronal reformations were provided. FINDINGS: Again in comparison with the prior examination, significant enlargement of the infra- and supratentorial ventricular system is identified with no evidence of transependymal migration of CSF. Scattered foci of high signal intensity are noted in T2 and FLAIR, distributed in the subcortical and periventricular white matter, which are nonspecific and may reflect chronic microvascular ischemic disease. The sulci are slightly prominent, possibly indicating mild cortical volume loss. No diffusion abnormalities are detected to suggest acute or subacute ischemic changes. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement to suggest leptomeningeal disease or arachnoiditis. In the posterior fossa, the inferior aspect of the cerebellum is small, possibly atrophic and also there is loss of the cortical volume in both cerebellar hemispheres. The superior aspect of the vermis appears complete and the fourth ventricle is prominent, normal flow void signal is noted at the major vascular structures. The orbits are grossly unremarkable. The paranasal sinuses demonstrate bilateral mucosal thickening at the frontoethmoidal recesses, ethmoidal air cells, and sphenoid sinus, possibly indicating an ongoing inflammatory process, there is also patchy mucosal thickening at the mastoid air cells, more significant on the right. The visualized aspect of the cervical spine demonstrates mild degenerative changes at C3/C4 and C4/C5 levels, partially evaluated in this examination. IMPRESSION: 1. Unchanged ventriculomegaly with associated cerebellar atrophic changes, with no evidence of transependymal migration of CSF. Scattered foci of high signal intensity are identified in the subcortical and periventricular white matter, likely consistent with chronic microvascular ischemic changes. 2. Chronic hydrocephalus, possibly communicating, is a consideration, there is no evidence of leptomeningeal enhancement to suggest arachnoiditis, the possibility of a Dandy-Walker variant is also a consideration. 3. Unchanged opacity of the ethmoidal air cells and sphenoid sinus suggesting an ongoing inflammatory process. Radiology Report HISTORY: Intubated. CHEST, SINGLE AP VIEW: Markedly rotated positioning. Allowing for this, pulmonary findings are likely similar to the film obtained on ___ at 20:43 p.m. with low inspiratory volumes, cardiomegaly, extensive pulmonary edema, and layering right-greater-than-left effusions. The CHF findings appear asymmetric, more pronounced in the right lung likely due to patient position. The carina is not well delineated, but the ET tube position is probably unchanged. The NG tube extends beneath the diaphragm off the film. The left IJ central line is unchanged and lies in the region of the cavoatrial junction. No pneumothorax is detected. Spinal hardware again noted. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 3:32 A.M., ___ HISTORY: Intubated ___ woman. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Tracheostomy tube is consistently positioned higher than desirable, which puts the cuff in the larynx. The tip is no less than 9 cm above the carina with the chin down. Standard positioning would require advancing the tube no less than 7.5 cm. Left lower lobe remains collapsed. Moderate right and small left pleural effusion, unchanged. Moderate cardiomegaly, stable. Enteric drainage tube passes to the distal stomach and out of view. Findings were discussed by telephone with Dr. ___ at the time of dictation. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 11:15 ___ ON ___ HISTORY: Central line pulled back. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to 10:36 a.m.: Left internal jugular line projects over the upper SVC. ET tube, now less than 5 cm above the upper margin of the clavicles and 8 cm from the carina has been repositioned due to findings on subsequent chest radiographs and conversations with the clinician following this study. Left lower lobe collapse and moderate left pleural effusion have increased. Small right pleural effusion is suspected as well. The heart is enlarged but margins are obscured and comparison is not possible. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report INDICATION: Advancement of ET tube. COMPARISON: Radiograph available from ___. FRONTAL CHEST RADIOGRAPH: The patient is severely rotated and kyphotic. Lower thoracic fusion hardware is unchanged in orientation. A left-sided IJ catheter terminates at the mid SVC. The endotracheal tube has been advanced, now terminating 3.3 cm above the carina. An orogastric tube terminates within the stomach. Severe left lower lobe atelectasis is unchanged in appearance. Superimposed mild-to-moderate pulmonary edema is stable. The heart is enlarged. There is no pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: 1. ET tube advanced, now terminating 3.3 cm above the carina 2. Severe left lower lobe atelectasis and moderate edema, both stable. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 2:42 A.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ woman intubated. Assess interval change. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: With the chin down, the tip of the endotracheal tube is just above the upper margin of the clavicles no less than 4 cm from the carina. Left internal jugular line ends in the upper-to-mid SVC. Lung volumes are still quite low though minimally improved since ___. Mild pulmonary edema has also improved. Moderate right pleural effusion and moderate-to-severe left basal atelectasis are also decreased. Heart size is indeterminate. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report HISTORY: MS with urosepsis. FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, the patient has taken a somewhat better inspiration. Monitoring and support devices remain in place. There is continued enlargement of the cardiac silhouette. Right pleural effusion is again seen. Opacification at the left base is consistent with volume loss in the lower lobe and associated effusion. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Urosepsis, intubated. Comparison is made to prior study ___. Bilateral pleural effusions larger on the left are stable. They are associated with left greater than right large atelectasis. Cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged. Lines and tubes remain in stable standard position. There are no new lung opacities. There is severe scoliosis. A spinal hardware is noted. Radiology Report INDICATION: Recent extubation. Please assess for interval change. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to multiple chest radiographs, most recently dated ___. FINDINGS: Portable chest radiograph demonstrates interval removal of endotracheal tube and nasogastric tube. Stable bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right with unchanged associated atelectasis, left greater than right. Possible minimal pulmonary edema is unchanged. Left heart border is somewhat obscured by overlying colon; otherwise cardiomediastinal borders are normal. No pneumothorax evident. Stable severe scoliosis and thoracolumbar fusion hardware. IMPRESSION: Interval extubation. Stable bilateral pleural effusions, large on the left and small on the right. Possible minimal pulmonary edema. Radiology Report HISTORY: New left PICC line. CHEST, SINGLE AP PORTABLE VIEW. Rotated positioning. A left subclavian PICC line is present -- the tip is not optimally visualized but appears to lie in the region of the cavoatrial junction. A left subclavian central line present, tip over proximal SVC. No pneumothorax detected. As before, the left hemidiaphragm is elevated, obscuring the cardiac silhouette. There is hazy opacity at the right lung base, with improved atelectasis at the right base. Opacity at the right base may relate to a layering effusion. The left hemidiaphragm is elevated with patchy opacity at the left base, also slightly improved. Small left effusion. Spinal rods noted. Radiology Report HISTORY: PICC line status post IJ removal, assess PICC. chest, 1 vw Rotated positioning. Previously seen left IJ catheter has been removed. Left subclavian PICC line is present. The tip may be partially obscured by the spinal hardware. However, I suspect it is unchanged in position and likely lies at the SVC/RA junction. No pneumothorax is detected. Again seen is obscuration of the left diaphragm and increased retrocardiac density. There is more pronounced patchy opacity at the right base. Suspect mild pulmonary vascular plethora. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH HISTORY: Intubation. COMPARISONS: None. TECHNIQUE: Chest, supine AP portable. FINDINGS: An endotracheal tube terminates approximately 1.5 cm above the carina. The lung volumes are low, obscuring cardiac borders, although the heart is probably normal in size. There is moderate-to-severe elevation of the diaphragm with coinciding dilatation of the viscus in the left upper quadrant, probably the splenic flexure of the colon. A splenic shadow is not clearly visualized. Patchy left basilar opacity may be associated with atelectasis, but is not entirely specific or characterized here. In addition, there is mild diffuse interstitial abnormalities suggesting pulmonary edema. The patient has a leftward convex spinal curvature with fixation devices to the partly imaged and characterized along the lower thoracic and upper lumbar spines. IMPRESSION: 1. Endotracheal tube terminating approximately 1.5 cm above the carina. If clinically indicated, the tube could be retracted somewhat for more optimal positioning. 2. Left basilar opacity with elevation of the left hemidiaphragm, suggestive of volume loss. 3. Findings suggesting moderate pulmonary edema. 4. Prominent air-filled viscus in the left upper quadrant, suggesting moderate distal colonic distension. Clinical correlation suggested. Radiology Report HEAD CT HISTORY: Altered mental status. COMPARISONS: None. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT. FINDINGS: There is no mass effect or shift of the normally midline structures. The cisterns and sulci are moderately prominent, suggesting mild atrophic changes. Cerebellar hemispheres are more strikingly atrophic. All of the ventricles are moderately dilated out of proportion to other findings associated cerebral atrophy, but there sulci are not effaced and there is no evidence for transependymal edema. The cisterna magna is enlarged with a small vermis. There is no evidence for intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage. The vertebrobasilar system is tortuous. Patchy vascular calcifications are present. The sphenoid is bipartite with a dominant left-sided air cell, which is almost completely opacified, including linear hyperdense striations suggesting inspissated material and raising suspicion for fungal colonization. The walls of the left side of the sphenoid sinus are also mildly thickened and sclerotic suggesting longer chronicity to the process. Moderate patchy ethmoid air cell opacification is also noted bilaterally, while the maxillary and frontal sinuses appear clear aside from patchy right posterior mastoid opacification. Aerosolized secretions are present within the nasopharynx, which coincide with endotracheal intubation. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for intracranial hemorrhage or other definite acute process. 2. Moderate enlargement of all ventricles, more striking than background cerebral atrophic changes, although cerebellar atrophy is substantial. There is no hypodensity about the ventricles to suggest transependymal edema. Correlation with clinical history is recommended and comparison to prior head CT, if available, may be helpful to assess for chronicity. Major differential considerations include chronic hydrocephalus, probably communicating, associated with a prior inflammatory process such as arachnoiditis or perhaps in association with a congenital lesion such as Dandy-Walker variant. 3. Opacification of the left sphenoid sinus with bony thickening suggesting longer chronicity and hyperdense material suggestive of fungal colonization. Radiology Report INDICATION: Patient with urosepsis. COMPARISONS: Chest radiograph of ___. FINDINGS: Portable AP view of the chest demonstrates ET tube terminating 3.9 cm above the carina. Nasogastric tube is positioned in the stomach. Low lung volumes. Costophrenic angles is obscured, suggestive of small pleural effusions. No pneumothorax is present. Hilar and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. Moderate pulmonary edema appears minimally progressed since prior, expecially in the upper lobes. Left lung base consolidation likely represents atelectasis. Spinal fixation hardware is noted. IMPRESSION: In comparison to ___ pleural exam, there is minimal interval progression of moderate pulmonary edema. Stable small bilateral pleural effusions and left lung base atelectasis.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report LEFT ANKLE AND LEFT FOOT RADIOGRAPHS: ___. HISTORY: ___ male with history of osteomyelitis, gout, presents with acute onset of pain. Question fracture or osteomyelitis. FINDINGS: LEFT ANKLE: AP, lateral and oblique views of the left ankle. No prior. There is diffuse osteopenia of the bones about the ankle. Degenerative changes are noted at the talonavicular joint; however, no definite acute fractures identified. There is no definite area of focal osteolysis. Diffuse atherosclerotic calcifications are noted. There is no subcutaneous gas. LEFT FOOT: AP, lateral, and oblique views of the left foot are compared to previous exam from ___. Diffuse osteopenia is seen. Degenerative changes are noted at the talonavicular joint as well as the first metatarsophalangeal joint, similar to prior. There is no evidence of more focal osteolysis. There is no subcutaneous gas. Small vessel atherosclerotic calcifications are noted. Small inferior calcaneal spur is noted. IMPRESSION: Diffuse osteopenia and degenerative changes without evidence of acute fracture or focal osteolysis. Radiology Report INDICATION: Acute pain, worsening swelling, erythema in left lower extremity. Please assess for deep vein thrombosis. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to right lower extremity ultrasound performed ___. FINDINGS: Exam limited by body habitus. Within this limitation, gray-scale and Doppler sonogram was performed of the left common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial and peroneal veins. Normal compressibility, flow and augmentation noted throughout. IMPRESSION: No left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with history of chronic venous stasis, now presenting with increasing left lower extremity edema. Patient with tiny focal superficial ulcer at the tip of the left great toe. Assess for evidence of osteomyelitis surrounding the left ankle. COMPARISON: Left foot and ankle radiographs from ___ TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar MR images of the left ankle were acquired on a 1.5 Tesla magnet. Sequences include: axial T1, T2 and STIR images; coronal T1 and STIR images. Axial T1-weighted images were repeated after the intravenous administration of gadolinium contrast. Coronal sequences were also repeated after contrast administration. No sagittal sequences were obtained as the patient could no longer tolerate the exam. MRI OF THE LEFT ANKLE WITH AND WITHOUT GADOLINIUM CONTRAST: The examination is extremely limited due to patient motion. Sagittal sequences could not be completed due to patient's inability to complete the examination. There is circumferential soft tissue edema and skin thickening surrounding the left ankle joint. There is irregularity of the skin surface at the level of the medial malleolus, though no definite superficial ulcer or sinus tract is evident. The musculature surrounding the left ankle appears diffusely atrophic. There is mild bone marrow edema at the calcaneocuboid joint (8:29) which is likely degenerative. Additionally, there is minimal edema within the anteromedial aspect of the talus adjacent to the subtalar joint (8:22). Mild irregularity of the cortex of the medial talus is also noted but no edema at this location to suggest acute osteomyelitis. The tendons within the extensor compartment anteriorly appear normal in signal intensity without signs of tendinopathy or tenosynovitis. Within the medial compartment, there is mild thickening of the posterior tibialis tendon distally and a small amount of fluid surrounding the tendon proximally, findings consistent with distal tendinosis and mild proximal tenosynovitis. Fluid is also seen surrounding the tendons present in the master knot of ___, findings consistent with mild tenosynovitis of the the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus tendons. The tendons of the lateral compartment including the peroneus longus and brevis appear normal surrounded by a small amount of fluid. Evaluation of the syndesmotic ligaments is limited due to patient motion and limited views, however, they are likely intact. Anterior talofibular, posterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments are not well seen on the views provided. There are small focal ossific densities within the anterolateral gutter. IMPRESSION: 1. Limited examination due to limited sequences and patient motion during the examination. 2. Trace edema within the medial aspect of the talus. Mild cortical irregulariy subjacent to the edema. The findings likely reflect tractional changes or prior injury injury. No evidence of acute osteomyelitis. 3. Mild bone marrow edema surrounding the calcaneocuboid joint, likely degenerative. 4. Moderate-to-severe circumferential soft tissue edema consistent with cellulitis in the appropriate clinical circumstance, correlate clinically. 5. Mild tendinopathy and tenosynovitis of the posterior tibialis tendon. 6. Mild tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus tendons. 6. Mild tenosynovitis of the peroneal tendons. Dr. ___ communicated the above preliminary results to Dr. ___ at approximately 11:10 a.m. on ___ by telephone. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with group G strep bacteremia and right shoulder pain. Question osteomyelitis. COMPARISON: CTA chest dated ___. TECHNIQUE: MRI of the mediastinum was performed prior to and following the administration of intravenous contrast with images acquired on a 1.5 Tesla. Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images were acquired. FINDINGS: Current exam is highly limited due to motion degradation of multiple sequences. Allowing for such, there is abnormal T2 hyperintense and T1 hypointense signal in the proximal right clavicle subjacent to the sternoclavicular articulation, involving approximately 3.8 cm of the proximal clavicle, with post-gadolinium enhancement, compatible with osteomyelitis. No definite rim enhancement about interosseous increased T2 signal to suggest interosseous abscess. There is extensive associated periosteal and soft tissue edema. The sternum is difficult to assess due to motion degradation, but there is likely reactive edema. There is fluid within the sternoclavicular joint. Small amount of fluid is also present in the left sternoclavicular joint. A 1.7-cm left thyroid nodule was noted on ___ CTA. Allowing for significantly limited assessment due to motion, the lung apices and mediastinal structures appear grossly intact. Assessment for mediastinitis is limited. IMPRESSION: 1. Osteomyelitis of the right proximal clavicle with extensive periosteal and soft tissue edema as well as joint fluid, consistent with septic arthritis. 2. Small amount of fluid in the left sternoclavicular joint. 3. Left thyroid nodule can be evaluated on ultrasound. Findings reported to Dr. ___ phone at 3 p.m. on ___. Radiology Report HISTORY: Check PICC line. CHEST, SINGLE AP PORTABLE VIEW. A left subclavian PICC line is present -- the tip overlies the distal SVC. No pneumothorax is detected. There are low inspiratory volumes. The right hemidiaphragm is elevated. The cardiac contour is prominent and irregular, with prominent hila bilaterally, similar to prior. Probable mild vascular plethora. Bibasilar atelectasis and increased retrocardiac density, consistent with left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation. Minimal blunting of the right greater than left costophrenic angle which is probably not new. The patient has known abnormality of the right sternoclavicular joint and right proximal clavicle, not well depicted on this film. IMPRESSION: 1. Left subclavian PICC line tip over proximal SVC. 2. Cardiomegaly and prominent hila. 3. Probable mild-to-moderate CHF with vascular plethora and mild interstitial edema. 4.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital for fevers and chills. We found that you had a serious infection of your left leg that did not involve the bone. We tested your blood for infection and found that you had bacteria in your blood. We also found that you had an infection of your collar bone of the right side. To treat all of these infections, we gave you an antibiotic called ceftriaxone through your IV. You will need to continue taking this antibiotic for a total of six weeks. You were seen by specialists in infectious disease, orthopedic surgery, and thoracic surgery. They all agreed that this antibiotic was the right treatment for your infections. In order to give you this medication after you left the hospital, we had to insert a PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter). This is like a very long IV that extends into the larger veins in your chest. You will receive antibiotics through your PICC daily. We have made the following changes to your medications: 1. Ceftriaxone: we have added this medication 2. colchicine: we have stopped this medication 3. acetazolamid: we had stopped this medication Please make an appointment to see your primary care physician within one week of leaving the hospital.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure meeting you and taking care of you. You were admitted with weight gain and shortness of breath. You were found to have gained five kilograms since your recent admission. You were given IV forms of your home bumex regimen and then switched to an oral regimen you can take at home. You will be taking 5 milligrams of a medication called bumex (also called bumetanide) twice a day to make sure you do not gain weight. Unfortunately, the medication only comes in 1mg pills so you'll have to take 5 of them twice a day. Your discharge weight is 168 kg or 371 lbs. If your weight goes up by more than 1 kilogram or 3 pounds in 24 hours call your Heart Failure team. It is important to have your electrolytes regularly monitored during this time. You should take 90 mEq of potassium chloride every day to ensure that your potassium does not go too low. Your should have your blood drawn on ___ at ___ to monitor your kidney function and electrolytes You will be following up with several doctors ___. Your first appointment is tomorrow.

Surgery •You underwent a surgery called a burr hole evacuation to have blood removed from your brain. •Please keep your staples along your incision dry until they are removed. •It is best to keep your incision open to air but it is ok to cover it when outside. •Call your surgeon if there are any signs of infection like redness, fever, or drainage. Activity •We recommend that you avoid heavy lifting, running, climbing, or other strenuous exercise until your follow-up appointment. •You make take leisurely walks and slowly increase your activity at your own pace once you are symptom free at rest. ___ try to do too much all at once. •No driving while taking any narcotic or sedating medication. •If you experienced a seizure while admitted, you are NOT allowed to drive by law. •No contact sports until cleared by your neurosurgeon. You should avoid contact sports for 6 months. Medications •Please do NOT take any blood thinning medication (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Plavix) until cleared by the neurosurgeon. •You were on an anticoagulation medication called Coumadin (Warfarin) for your atrial fibrillation prior to your injury. Do not resume this medication until cleared by your neurosurgeon. •You have been discharged on Keppra (Levetiracetam), please continue to take this medication as prescribed. •You may use Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for minor discomfort if you are not otherwise restricted from taking this medication. •Increase your intake of fluids and fiber, as narcotic pain medicine can cause constipation. We generally recommend taking an over the counter stool softener, such as Docusate (Colace) while taking narcotic pain medication. What You ___ Experience: •You may have difficulty paying attention, concentrating, and remembering new information. •Emotional and/or behavioral difficulties are common. •Feeling more tired, restlessness, irritability, and mood swings are also common. •You may also experience some post-operative swelling around your face and eyes. This is normal after surgery and most noticeable on the second and third day of surgery. You apply ice or a cool or warm washcloth to your eyes to help with the swelling. The swelling will be its worse in the morning after laying flat from sleeping but decrease when up. •You may experience soreness with chewing. This is normal from the surgery and will improve with time. Softer foods may be easier during this time. •Constipation is common. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat a high-fiber diet. If you are taking narcotics (prescription pain medications), try an over-the-counter stool softener. Headaches: •Headache is one of the most common symptoms after a brain bleed. •Most headaches are not dangerous but you should call your doctor if the headache gets worse, develop arm or leg weakness, increased sleepiness, and/or have nausea or vomiting with a headache. •Mild pain medications may be helpful with these headaches but avoid taking pain medications on a daily basis unless prescribed by your doctor. •There are other things that can be done to help with your headaches: avoid caffeine, get enough sleep, daily exercise, relaxation/ meditation, massage, acupuncture, heat or ice packs. When to Call Your Doctor at ___ for: •Severe pain, swelling, redness or drainage from the incision site. •Fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit •Nausea and/or vomiting •Extreme sleepiness and not being able to stay awake •Severe headaches not relieved by pain relievers •Seizures •Any new problems with your vision or ability to speak •Weakness or changes in sensation in your face, arms, or leg Call ___ and go to the nearest Emergency Room if you experience any of the following: •Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg •Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding •Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination •Sudden severe headaches with no known reason

After administration of 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: None available. FINDINGS: There is a 2.2 x 1.6 x 2.0 cm likely mildly enhancing lesion within the left mastoid (16:50 and 52). There is apparent erosion through/dehiscence of the lateral mastoid wall, with overlying soft tissue enhancement. There is a partial left mastoid effusion. There is diffusion-weighted hyperintense signal of the bilateral occipital condyles more prominent on the right. There is associated enhancing soft tissue expansion and apparent remodeling of the right occipital condyle measuring approximately 1.4 x 1.3 cm (series 16, image 34; series 10, image 9), and abnormal signal of the right occipital condyle (series 10, image 13), concerning for metastatic disease. There is presumed obliteration of the right hypoglossal canal. A few foci of intrinsically T1 isointense foci in the left and right frontal calvarium (see series 11, image 23 and 22) demonstrate faint high signal on diffusion-weighted images, raising concern for possible metastatic disease and/or hemangiomas. There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, brain parenchymal mass, mass effect, midline shift or infarction. The ventricles and sulci are within expected limits in caliber and configuration. There is no abnormal brain parenchymal enhancement after contrast administration. Right frontal developmental venous anomaly is noted. Aside from dysconjugate gaze, the globes and orbits are unremarkable. Major intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved. Major dural venous sinuses are patent.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR ___ WAND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR ___ SPINE INDICATION: ___ year old woman with metastatic cervical cancer w/ failure to thrive, now w/ inability to move her tongue in all directions// rule out progressive cervical spine mets TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique. Axial T2 and gradient echo imaging were next performed. After administration of Gadavist intravenous contrast, sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging was performed. COMPARISON: MR ___ ___. FINDINGS: Images are moderately motion degraded, limiting assessment. Within these confines: There is multifocal T1 hypointense, faintly enhancing, STIR hyperintense signal throughout the cervical spine involving multiple vertebral bodies including C2, C3, C5, C6, as well as T1 and T2, compatible with cervical and upper thoracic metastases, involving both the vertebral bodies and posterior elements (For example see series 300, image 7). There is faint enhancement posterior to the C6 vertebral body as well as C7, which may be normal enhancing venous plexus, however slight epidural extension is difficult to exclude given the degree of motion degradation (19:8). Osseous metastatic disease of the right greater than left occipital condyles is also identified. There is moderate to severe compression deformity of C6, with mild marrow edema, possibly a subacute fracture, presumably pathologic in nature. There is 3 mm bony retropulsion of the buckled posterior cortex into the spinal canal without spinal cord contact, causing mild spinal canal narrowing (05:29). There is 2 mm of C4-5 anterolisthesis, likely degenerative. Alignment elsewhere is normal. Aside from C6, vertebral body heights are preserved. The cervical spinal cord is normal in caliber and signal intensity. There are mild cervical spine degenerative changes. Aside from mild narrowing at C6 (as above), no additional cervical central canal narrowing. There is mild uncovertebral osteophytosis causing mild multilevel neural foraminal narrowing, worst (mild) on the right at C4-5 (06:21). Layering biapical pleural effusions are noted. There is asymmetric enlargement of the right tongue base, felt likely sequela of denervation secondary to skullbase lesion described in the MRI head. However, the right lateral oropharyngeal wall also appears possibly asymmetrically thickened, incompletely characterized (05:12 and 06:13). Please see separate report for intracranial findings from same-day MRI head. IMPRESSION: 1. Diffuse cervical bony metastatic disease. Difficult to exclude early epidural extension into the anterior epidural space at C6. 2. Moderate to severe compression deformity of C6 is likely subacute, mild marrow edema, presumably pathologic in nature. 3. Mild central spinal canal narrowing at the level of the C6 fracture due to retropulsion of the buckled posterior cortex into the spinal canal by approximately 3 mm. No spinal cord contact or cord signal abnormality. 4. Incidentally noted soft tissue fullness, right base of tongue, felt to be likely secondary to denervation secondary to skullbase lesion. There is also asymmetric fullness of the right lateral oro- pharyngeal wall, incompletely characterized, and may be artifactual. Recommend further evaluation with CT soft tissue neck for further evaluation. 5. Layering biapical pleural effusions are partially visualized. 6. Mild cervical spondylosis. 7. Please see separate report for intracranial findings from same-day MR head. RECOMMENDATION(S): Recommend CT tissue neck for further evaluation of the base of tongue/right lateral oropharyngeal wall.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were admitted with increasing fatigue, weakness, and pain. We found you had high calcium levels and low thyroid levels, and we increased your thyroid medication and also gave you medicine to lower your calcium. Unfortunately, further imaging showed significant progression of your cancer despite treatment with pembrolizumab. This was causing you to develop a large amount of fluid in your abdomen, which we drained off, and ultimately put in a long-term drain you can use at home. We also adjusted your pain medicines to better treat your pain. After discussion with radiation oncology we decided against further radiation treatments. You also had intermittent fevers, which we think are due to the cancer. However, we went ahead and started you on a course of antibiotics to treat an underlying infection, if present. We also met extensively with your medical oncology team, and unfortunately no viable chemotherapy options are possible. In order to allow you to enjoy time with your family, we have arranged for you to be discharged with hospice care. Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

Last night she noted acute onset palpitations (HR in the 120s) around 1 am that woke her from sleep. She did not have chest pain or shortness of breath. She has since vomited 2x, once at home and once in the ED. Her palpitations intermittently resolved but then worsened again. She denies recent fever/chills, cough/SOB, dysuria/hematuria, or preceding diarrhea. She does note having mutliple episodes of diarrhea. She reports adequate PO intake (eating more lately ___ steroids). In the ED, initial vital signs were: 96.3 85 124/56 18 96% RA she received Zofran with good relief for he nausea. Initially her HR was in the ___ and appeared to be sinus w/ frequent PACs; however, around 10:30a she was noted to be in Afib with RVR with rates in the 120s-130s, occasionally up to the 150s. SBP in the 100s (pt reports 110s normal for her), no chest pain or SOB. ECG 8:38a: Sinus arrhythmia, old Q waves inferolaterally, no new ST segment or T wave changes (TWIs in V1-V3 are old). ECG 10:28a: Afib w/ HR 150s, with ST depressions in V2-V4. CXR with no acute process. Cardiology was consulted and recommended rate control, increased metoprolol succinate from 25 mg PO QD to 50 mg PO QD, troponin was negative x2. While in the ED HR shot up to the 150s while having a bowel movement, then subsequently became bradycardic down to the ___ in sinus and became hypotensive to the ___ systolic. While patient was being assessed, her HR improved to the ___ and her BP recovered to the 120s. It was suspected this was a vasovagal episode (given bradycardia and hypotension) in the setting of a bowel movement.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___ Chief Complaint: acute onset word finding difficulty, garbled speech and right hand parasthesiaes lasting ___ minutes. Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ old right-handed man with history of hypertension who presented with acute onset word finding difficulty, garbled speech and right hand parasthesiaes lasting ___ minutes. Mr. ___ was in his usual state of health today until approximately 2:45pm when he developed difficulty speaking to his wife while lying in bed watching TV. His wife notes that he tried to ask her about dinner, saying "are you making sauce?" but he meant to say, "are you making rice." He also meant to ask about dinner and said, "are you making the bed?" He had long pauses in his speech when he would try to get words out, and say, "umm and uhhh" when looking for the words he wanted to say. His wife said that some of the words were made up and unintelligible so she had trouble figuring out what he was trying to say. He also called one of his daughters by the wrong name. During this time, he also noticed right hand numbness and pins and needles, like a sensation of his hand falling asleep. This did not extend past his hand. He grabbed a stress ball and squeezed it with both hands to compare the sensation in both hands and he was able to squeeze it with the right hand. He was able to lift his right arm antigravity and bring the ball over his head. His wife did not notice any facial droop. The right side of his body did not feel weak. There were no other parasthesiaes. The whole episode lasted approximately 10 - 15 minutes, though they are not sure about the exact timeline. His wife was concerned about a stroke and told him they were going to the ED. The patient walked down the stairs and took a shower before coming. He also shaved with his right hand. By the time he was out of the shower, he was back to normal. He was able to recall the whole episode, though when asked about feeling confused and realizing that he was saying the wrong thing, he said he didn't notice the words were coming out different. He never had a headache, and nothing like this has happened to him before. He does not take aspirin or any other anti-platelet. On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred vision, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties comprehending speech. Denies focal weakness. No bowel or bladder incontinence or retention. Denies difficulty with gait.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of word finding difficulty, garbled speech and right hand numbness lasting ___ minutes resulting from a transient ischemic attack, a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is temporarily not receiving enough oxygen. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Stroke and transient ischemic attacks can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. Your risk factor such as hemoglobin A1C which measures your blood sugar as well as your lipids are normal. We are changing your medications as follows: Aspirin 81 mg daily Please take your other medications as prescribed. We also will send you home with a event monitor which you will wear for 30 days to evaluate for abnormal heart rhythm that might have been the cause of your symptoms. Please call ___ ___ for event monitor at ___. Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician as listed below. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - Sudden partial or complete loss of vision - Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - Sudden weakness of one side of the body - Sudden drooping of one side of the face - Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body Of note, your work up also showed an enlarged thyroid gland which is containing multiple nodules measuring up to 14 mm on the right. We recommend f/u as outpatient and a thyroid scan.

There is unchanged dural thickening at the surgical site. The distal end of the left frontal approach epidural drainage catheter is located near the posterior margin of the craniectomy defect. The volume of fluid within the left supra zygomatic masticator space external to the craniectomy appear similar to the prior study. Low attenuation within the left anterior temporal lobe appear similar to the prior head CT and most likely reflects retraction injury, however cerebritis is an alternative consideration given the known craniotomy flap related infection. The ventricular configuration appears similar to the prior study, without hydrocephalus. There is 2 mm of midline shift, similar to the prior study. The basilar cisterns are patent, without evidence of downward herniation. The degree of blood products within the cerebellar fissures appear similar to the prior study. No new intracranial hemorrhage is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Left frontal temporal craniectomy for resection of an infected craniotomy flap. Low attenuation within the anterior left temporal lobe may reflect retraction related injury, however superimposed cerebritis is difficult to exclude. 2. The ventricular configuration and 2 mm rightward midline shift appear similar to the prior study. 3. Acute blood products within the posterior fossa likely reflects subarachnoid hemorrhage and appear similar to the prior study. No new hemorrhage is identified. 4. Thickening adjacent to the left lateral dural surface of the cavernous sinus, left petrous apex, and left dorsal surface of the clivus likely reflects postoperative change.

Chief Complaint: N/V/D Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: ___ w/ aplastic anemia/hypoplastic MDS now day ___ ___ allogeneic BMT complicated by disseminated nocardiosis and recently hospitalized ___ to ___ with abdominal pain, PO intolerance and found have colitis noted on OSH imaging with non-neutropenic culture negative fever, presents with ___ in setting of ongoing diarrhea/vomiting. Past Medical History: PAST ONCOLOGIC HISTORY: per ___ is a ___ female with a history of hypoplastic MDS/aplastic anemia, status post one cycle of ATG cyclosporine in ___, followed by a second cycle in ___. Course complicated by AVN of left hip. Patient also with hx of hemolytic anemic. Recent DAT neg. Patient required frequent HLA-matched platelets approximately twice a week. There was a question of an immune component and had been on and off Prednisone in this setting. Also has had periodic course of Rituxan in this setting. Just prior to transplant we had trial of Promacta but did not have any significant improvement in platelet count. Due to refractory disease proceed with bone marrow transplant. She is current day + ___ ___ reduced intensity Bone "marrow" transplant from unrelated donor with Fludarabine/Cytoxan/Campath for conditioning regimen. Her transplant course was complicated by ICU admission with dyspnea, hypoxia, elevated troponin and acute heart failure with acute global cardiac dysfunction in setting of bone marrow infusion. Etiology of Ms. ___ decompensation not completely clear though ? of some capillary leak process. She got pure marrow--not peripheral stem cells--and it's likely that the product contained hemolyzed cells, fat, cellular debris, etc. that caused her to react. Although her post-infusion labs looked like she was hemolyzing, the DAT was negative and her hemoglobin did not drop. Most likely she had been transfused lysed cells (?likely happened during harvesting procedure) that gave her a transaminitis, elevated bili, blood inurine, etc. Unfortunately however, even after washing the bonemarrow, Ms. ___ continued to have this reaction and the reaction was to the same bag. DAT was negative. It was felt that she had some sort of endothelial, microvascular damage from the bone marrow transplant. Was supported through this episode. EF improved on repeat ECHO to 43% (from 20%). Also, of note, two cultures that were done from stem cells came back + for Propionibacterium species. Unclear if contaminant but covered with antibiotics for this. Patient otherwise after this acute event did well in the transplant setting and was discharged from hospital on ___ and has been followed closely in outpatient clinic. No other past medical history Social History: ___ Family History: Mother died of lung cancer in her ___ after heavy tobacco use. Father died of CAD in his ___. 2 healthy brothers and 1 sister.

TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired contiguous images through the abdomen were obtained without intravenous contrast at 5-mm slice thickness. Coronally and sagittally reformatted images were provided. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN: Bibasilar areas of dependent atelectasis are noted. There is no pleural effusion. Heart is mildly enlarged without pericardial effusion. Aortic valve calcifications are noted. Evaluation of visceral organs is limited due to lack of intravenous contrast. Within this limitation, the liver demonstrates homogeneous attenuation. There is no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is mildly distended. Gallbladder wall edema is better appreciated on the ultrasound exam of the same date. Large gallstone is seen within its lumen, with peripheral rim calcification. The spleen appears normal. Pancreas demonstrates homogeneous attenuation without ductal dilatation or peripancreatic fluid collection. The adrenal glands are normal. The non-contrast appearance of the kidneys is unremarkable. A nonobstructive renal stone is seen within the left interpolar region of the left kidney. There is no hydronephrosis. There is a 4.8 x 3.5 cm isodense lesion arising from the interpolar region of the left kidney measuring 33 Hounsfield units in attenuation. This lesion was characterized as simple cysts on ___ ultrasound exam. Increased density may be attributed to internal hemorrhage or protein content. Imaged small and large bowel loops are normal in caliber without evidence of bowel wall thickening or obstruction. There is no free air or free fluid within the abdomen. There are scattered mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, which do not meet CT criteria for pathologic enlargement. Intra-abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. CT PELVIS: The bladder is collapsed around a Foley catheter. The rectum and sigmoid colon are unremarkable. There is no pelvic lymphadenopathy. There is no free air or free fluid within the pelvis. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesion is seen. IMPRESSION: 1. Cholelithiasis. Gallbladder wall thickening is better appreciated on the ultrasound exam of the same date and is likely from underdistension an dchronic changes. No pericholecystic fluid collection. No evidece of acute cholecystitis 2. A 4.8 x 3.5 intermediate density left renal lesion, which may represent an underlying neoplasm, though hemorrhagic or proteinaceous cysts are possible. Further assessment with MRI is recommended on non-emergent basis. 3. Small hiatal hernia. 4. Non-obstructive left renal stone.

Chief Complaint: Altered mental status, acute kidney injury Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: The patient is a ___ year old woman transferred from outside hospital with UTI, altered mental status. The patient had undergone dental work more than one week ago, receiving incisor implants. She also went to a hospital in the middle of the last week for new-onset back pain. X-ray showed degenerative joint disease and facet disease. She was prescribed Vicodin. The patient noticed that she became "loopy" on the Vicodin on ___, with worsening mental status. She was taken today to ___, who reported: ___ female who presents with altered mental status and back pain. Upon evaluation today the patient is confused with a nonfocal neuro exam, nl rectal tone and sensation. Laboratory analysis is notable for acute renal failure with a creatinine in the fives. Patient has a white count of 11 with 10 bands; however, reassuringly her lactate is 1.4. After 1 L of IV fluid, the patient's blood pressure normalized to 120/70. Urinalysis is notable for infection. The patient is also noted to have hyperbilirubinemia, with a predominance of direct bilirubin. CT imaging of the head notes a small hyperdensity concerning for, but not diagnostic of, hemorrhage. The patient has a normal INR at this time and platelets of 74. In the past the patient has had altered mental status in the setting of urinary tract infection. Concerned for possible underlying malignancy. Patient was treated with broad-spectrum IV antibiotics and fluid resuscitation. She'll be transferred to the ___ in ___ for further intensive medical evaluation and care.

Segment VI liver cyst. 2. No biliary dilation. ___ NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: IMPRESSION: Stable tiny focus of hyperdensity in the right frontal centrum semiovale white matter; no new hemorrhage. ___ TEE: The left atrium is elongated. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%). The estimated cardiac index is normal (>=2.5L/min/m2). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved regional and global biventricular systolic function. Mild mitral regurgitation with normal valve morphology. Mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. ___ RENAL U/S: IMPRESSION: Unremarkable appearance of the kidneys with only a tiny left renal simple cyst noted. ___ CXR: FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there has been placement of an endotracheal tube with its tip approximately 3 cm above the carina. Nasogastric tube extends to the mid body of the stomach, then coils back on itself so that the tip lies in the fundus just beneath the left hemidiaphragm. There has been the development of increased opacification at the left base with silhouetting of the hemidiaphragm and obliteration of the costophrenic angle. This is consistent with substantial volume loss in the left lower lobe and pleural effusion. ___ EEG: IMPRESSION: Abnormal EEG due to the slow, disorganized, and usually low voltage background and due to the bursts of generalized slowing. These findings indicate widespread encephalopathy affecting both cortical and subcortical structures. Medications, metabolic disorders, and infection are among the most common causes. There were no areas of prominent focal slowing, but encephalopathies may obscure focal findings. There were no epileptiform features. ___ MR SPINE: IMPRESSION: 1. Endplate irregularity at L1/L2, with hyperintense disc signal. Given the provided history, these findings raise the possibility of discitis and osteomyelitis. Note that sclerotic endplate changes are present at the corresponding level on CT, suggesting that this is likely related to degenerative findings. Nevertheless, if clinical concern persists for infection, would recommend repeat imaging with contrast if the patient's renal function will tolerate, and/or with sagittal STIR/IDEAL sequences. 2. No other evidence of spinal infection. 3. Lower lumbar spinal degenerative findings, including severe narrowing on the left appearing to impinge upon the traversing left L5 nerve root, posterior to the L4/5 intervertebral disc. Note is also made of a left lateral disc protrusion at L5/S1, with disc material appearing to contact the exiting left L5 nerve root. ___ MR BRAIN: Note is made of a 7 x 5 mm focus of abnormally slow diffusion in the right frontal lobe (series 4 and 5, image 17). There is no other abnormally slow focus of diffusion to suggest infarction. Ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The focus of abnormally slow diffusion is bright on FLAIR and T2-weighted images. Scattered smaller FLAIR hyperintense white matter foci are also visualized, possibly reflecting prior vascular insult. Primary intracranial flow voids are normal. Incidental note is made of mineralization at the globus pallidus bilaterally. A small amount of fluid is seen within the mastoid air cells on the left, and minimally on the right. Note is made of mild mucosal thickening of the ethmoid air cells bilaterally. There is no intracranial hemorrhage, or mass effect. ___ MR ANGIOGRAPHY OF THE BRAIN: Primary intracranial arterial structures show appropriate flow related signal hyperintensity. There is no luminal caliber regularity to suggest thromboembolic filling defect, dissection or aneurysm. Note is made of a large fenestration at the base of the basilar artery. Anatomy is otherwise conventional in orientation. IMPRESSION: 1. Small right frontal infarct as described above, with no intracranial hemorrhage. 2. Fenestration at the base of the basilar artery and otherwise normal MR angiography of the brain. ___ TEE: Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). There are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. There is a focal thickening on the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve which may be a vegetation (images #37, #41, #89 and #102 amont others). No annular abscess seen. Mild (1+) centrally directed aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. No vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. IMPRESSION: Possible vegetation on the aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation. No other echo evidence of endocarditis/abscess seen. In comparison to the TTE of ___, on image #2 of the prior study a similar thickening is seen on the aortic cusp. ___ SHOULDER PLAIN FILMS: FINDINGS: No acute fracture or dislocation. Normal bone mineralization, joint spaces, and alignment. Prominence of the soft tissues in the region of the right shoulder. Imaged portion of the right lung are clear. Imaged portions of the right ribs are intact. Endotracheal tube terminates approximately 3.4 cm proximal to the carina. Nasogastric tube extends below the left hemidiaphragm. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute fracture or dislocation. 2. No radiographic evidence for osteomyelitis. 3. Support lines and tubes, unchanged position. Radiology Report INDICATION: Right upper quadrant pain, fever, elevated bilirubin. Evaluate for biliary dilation. Correlation to CT from ___ Hospital dated ___ at 12:00. RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT ULTRASOUND: The liver is normal in echogenicity, with a 1.4 x 1.2 x 1.2 cm cyst in segment VI. Normal hepatopetal flow in the portal vein. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilation. The common duct measures 4 mm. Gallbladder is normal without distention, stones, sludge, wall edema, or pericholecystic fluid. Ultrasonographic ___ sign is negative. Pancreatic head and body are normal, and the tail is not well visualized due to shadowing bowel gas. Pancreatic duct measures 2 mm. IMPRESSION: 1. Segment VI liver cyst. 2. No biliary dilation. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with intracranial hemorrhage and altered mental status. COMPARISON: ___ at approximately 3 p.m. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images through the head were acquired without intravenous contrast. Images through the top half of the head were repeated due to motion artifact, with improvement. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were reviewed. FINDINGS: Tiny focus of hyperdensity in the right frontal deep white matter appears similar compared to recent prior exam. No focus of new intracranial hemorrhage, large mass, mass effect, edema, or hydrocephalus is detected. There is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. The basal cisterns appear patent. Mild white matter hypodensity is likely secondary to sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Dense bilateral basal ganglia mineralization is seen. The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear well aerated. No acute bony abnormality is detected. IMPRESSION: Stable tiny focus of hyperdensity in the right frontal centrum semiovale white matter; no new hemorrhage. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with AMS, ARF, evaluate for etiology renal failure. COMPARISON: Liver ultrasound ___. FINDINGS: The right kidney measures 13.0 cm and the left kidney measures 10.4 cm. There is no hydronephrosis. A tiny simple exophytic cyst is noted at the lower pole of the left kidney measuring 1.2 x 1.3 x 1.0 cm. No stone or concerning solid renal mass is visualized. No perinephric fluid collection is identified. IMPRESSION: Unremarkable appearance of the kidneys with only a tiny left renal simple cyst noted. Radiology Report HISTORY: Tube placement. FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there has been placement of an endotracheal tube with its tip approximately 3 cm above the carina. Nasogastric tube extends to the mid body of the stomach, then coils back on itself so that the tip lies in the fundus just beneath the left hemidiaphragm. There has been the development of increased opacification at the left base with silhouetting of the hemidiaphragm and obliteration of the costophrenic angle. This is consistent with substantial volume loss in the left lower lobe and pleural effusion. Radiology Report INDICATION: Altered mental status. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar MR images are acquired through the brain without intravenous contrast. Three-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography is also performed, from which dedicated 3D vascular reconstructions are created. FINDINGS: MR BRAIN: Note is made of a 7 x 5 mm focus of abnormally slow diffusion in the right frontal lobe (series 4 and 5, image 17). There is no other abnormally slow focus of diffusion to suggest infarction. Ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The focus of abnormally slow diffusion is bright on FLAIR and T2-weighted images. Scattered smaller FLAIR hyperintense white matter foci are also visualized, possibly reflecting prior vascular insult. Primary intracranial flow voids are normal. Incidental note is made of mineralization at the globus pallidus bilaterally. A small amount of fluid is seen within the mastoid air cells on the left, and minimally on the right. Note is made of mild mucosal thickening of the ethmoid air cells bilaterally. There is no intracranial hemorrhage, or mass effect. MR ANGIOGRAPHY OF THE BRAIN: Primary intracranial arterial structures show appropriate flow related signal hyperintensity. There is no luminal caliber regularity to suggest thromboembolic filling defect, dissection or aneurysm. Note is made of a large fenestration at the base of the basilar artery. Anatomy is otherwise conventional in orientation. IMPRESSION: 1. Small right frontal infarct as described above, with no intracranial hemorrhage. 2. Fenestration at the base of the basilar artery and otherwise normal MR angiography of the brain. These results were discussed via telephone by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ ___ at 14:25 on ___. Radiology Report INDICATION: Altered mental status, concern for endocarditis and question of septic emboli and/or epidural abscess. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to an MR of the brain from the same date dictated separately. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar MR images were acquired through the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine without intravenous contrast. Note, the contrast was withheld secondary to patient's decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate. FINDINGS: MR CERVICAL SPINE: Vertebral body heights are normal. Alignment reveals a mild scoliotic curvature which may be positional. Marrow signal reveals no concerning focal abnormalities. Signal within the spinal cord is also normal. Note is made of small posterior disc bulges at C3/C4 and C5/C6. The latter results in minimal narrowing of the spinal canal, without evidence of deformation of the spinal cord. Soft tissue structures of the neck reveal fluid dependently in the oro- and nasopharynx, likely related to the known endotracheal intubation. MR THORACIC SPINE: Vertebral body heights are normal. Alignment is notable for scoliotic curvature. Marrow signal reveals focal T1-weighted and T2-weighted hyperintensities in T7 and T8 vertebral bodies, consistent with hemangiomata. Signal within the spinal cord is normal. There is no spinal canal stenosis or significant neural foraminal stenosis. MR LUMBAR SPINE: Vertebral body heights are normal. Alignment is also normal. Marrow signal reveals meningiomata at L1, 3 and 5. Note is made, however, of mild endplate irregularity at L1/L2, as well as abnormally T2-weighted hyperintense signal in the expected location of the L1/L2 intervertebral disc. The conus medullaris terminates posterior to the L1 vertebral body. At L1/L2, there are abnormal disc endplate changes as described above. Note is also made of bulging of the disc, as well as a right paracentral annular fissure. These findings result in mild narrowing of the spinal canal. Note is also made of moderate right neural foraminal narrowing and minimal left neural foraminal narrowing. At L2/L3, there is a circumferential disc bulge which does not narrow the spinal canal. Both neural foramina are also patent. There is mild bilateral facet arthropathy. At L3/L4, there is moderate spinal canal narrowing (series 24, image 11) related primarily to moderately severe bilateral facet arthropathy, as well as a circumferential disc bulge. The left neural foramen is patent and the right neural foramen is moderately narrowed. At L4/L5, there is a circumferential disc bulge which is eccentric to the left, as well as moderate bilateral facet arthropathy. Findings result in mild spinal canal narrowing, as well as impingement of the traversing left L5 nerve root between the disc and the superior articular facet. There is no neural foraminal stenosis. At L5/S1, there is a circumferential disc bulge, with focal left lateral protrusion. The spinal canal is appropriately patent. The right neural foramen is normal and the left neural foramen is mildly narrowed, with lateral disc protrusion material appearing to contact the exiting left L5 nerve root. Incidental note is made of moderate bilateral hydronephrosis. IMPRESSION: 1. Endplate irregularity at L1/L2, with hyperintense disc signal. Given the provided history, these findings raise the possibility of discitis and osteomyelitis. Note that sclerotic endplate changes are present at the corresponding level on CT, suggesting that this is likely related to degenerative findings.

Chief Complaint: Severe epigastric pain radiating to back Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ with asthma, IDDM, GERD, fibromyalgia, HLD, HTN, PUD, and anxiety presents with acute onset of epigastric pain radiating around both flanks and to her right shoulder blade. She reports having daily epigastric pain ___ GERD, but two days ago she began having abdominal pain that was slightly worse. She also reports increased flatulence, and mildly foul taste in her mouth. Yesterday she had a small supper of an omelette, and soon after began having severe epigastric pain that came on quickly. It was ___ and worse than any pain she had experienced before. Nothing made the pain better, and she tried moving in all positions. It radiated around both sides to her back and up under her right shoulder blade. She denies CP or positional changes. She felt it was slightly worse with breathing. She denies fever, shortness of breath. She had no nausea, or vomitting, but her stomach did not feel well and she had a bad taste in her mouth persistently. She feels it was slightly relieved with prilosec. She had a bowel movement last night that she described as "yellow" and has been passing gas regularly. She had no melena, or blood in her stool. The pain persisted overnight and was relieved slightly after hours of not eating. She came to the ED this morning still in severe pain. She denies any history of gall stones, and does not drink alcohol. She denies any history of hypercalcemia but does have hyperlipidemia. She reports that last week she had elevated BP related to stress and was taking hydrochlorothiazide more often than regularly. She usually only takes ___ a tablet when she has edema, but last week she took a full tab every day, which is "more than I ever take." In the ED, initial vs were T 97.6, HR 70, BP 203/84, RR 18, O2 99% on RA. She received atenolol for her elevated BP. Given chest pain, had cardiac work up: EKG showed no change from previous and initial troponins were negative. Found to have elevated lipase and started on IVF, patient refused pain meds. RUQ ultrasound was limited by body habitus but showed a normal gall bladder with no distention or stones. Transfer VS T 97.9, HR 60, BP 185/70, RR 14, O2 100% on RA On arrival to the floor, patient reports that her pain is much improved with oxycodone. She denies any headache or vision changes, and reports her elevated BP is about where it has been at home.

CLINICAL INFORMATION: Acute onset epigastric pain and tenderness, question pleural effusion. ___. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or evidence of pneumothorax is seen. The aorta is somewhat tortuous. The cardiac silhouette is top normal. No overt pulmonary edema is seen. Some degenerative changes are seen along the spine, stable. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Specifically, no evidence of pleural effusion. Radiology Report HISTORY: Elevated lipases with abdominal pain. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: The study is limited due to patient body habitus. Again noted is a 1.6 x 1.0 x 1.2 cm hypoechoic structure in segment 4B of the liver without flow, consistent with a simple cyst. Otherwise, the remainder of the liver is within normal limits. There is no intra or extrahepatic ductal dilatation with the common bile duct measuring 4 mm. The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. The gallbladder is normal with no evidence of stones or distention. The spleen is limited in evaluation but appears normal where seen. IMPRESSION: Limited study due to patient body habitus demonstrates no acute findings. The gallbladder is normal with no evidence of stones or distention. Radiology Report HISTORY: Elevated lipase and signs and symptoms consistent with pancreatitis. Right upper quadrant ultrasound benign. CBD obstruction/stone? Not looking for abscess or fluid collection. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T2 and axial T1 weighted sequences were acquired on a 1.5 Tesla magnet without intravenous contrast. The patient states a history of previous contrast allergy to gadolinium. FINDINGS: There is T2 hyperintensity surrounding the head of the pancreas on the T2 weighted fat saturated sequence (sequence 6 image 15), consistent with edema. There is also surrounding fat stranding. The pancreatic duct within the head of the pancreas appears compressed (sequence 8 image 2) -which is likely secondary to the edema in the pancreatic head. The remainder of the pancreatic duct is within normal limits. Multiple subcentimeter pancreatic cystic lesions are noted within the body of the pancreas (sequence 8 image 2) with the largest measuring 6 mm in diameter (sequence 3 image 16). No focal fluid collections. The pancreas is otherwise unremarkable. There is a mildly enlarged lymph node superior to the pancreatic neck measuring 0.7 cm in short axis diameter (sequence 6 image 11). Multiple T2 hyperintense cystic lesions are noted within the liver, the largest of which measures 1.3 cm in diameter in segment IVb (sequence 4 image 14) - these likely represent biliary hamartomas. The liver is otherwise unremarkable. No intra or extrahepatic duct dilatation. The gallbladder is normal. There is a 1.8 x 1.2 cm lesion within the lateral limb of the right adrenal gland which demonstrates signal loss on the out of phase sequences (sequence 5 image 13) consistent with a right adrenal adenoma. It is unchanged since the previous CT dated ___. The left adrenal gland is within normal limits. There is a subcentimeter simple cyst within the upper pole of the right kidney. The kidneys are otherwise unremarkable. The spleen is within normal limits. The visualized small and large bowel is unremarkable. No retroperitoneal adenopathy. Bone marrow signal is normal. No destructive osseous lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Mild acute pancreatitis with edema in the pancreatic head and surrounding fat stranding. Compression of the pancreatic duct within the head of the pancreas secondary to the pancreatic edema. No evidence of pancreatic necrosis. 2. No evidence of biliary obstruction. No biliary calculi. 3. 1.8 x 1.2 cm right adrenal adenoma. 4. Multiple subcentimeter cystic lesions within the pancreatic body which likely represent side-branch IPMNs.

Chief Complaint: lower back pain and fever Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___ Interventional radiology drainage of paraspinal soft tissue abscess History of Present Illness: ___ with history of DM, afib with RVR, diastolic heart failure, PVD, COPD presents with severe low back pain (sacrum/buttocks) and rectal temp of 103. He presented initially to ___ and is now being transferred to ___ for MRI to rule out epidural abscess. Per patient history, he started having severe bilateral lower back pain on ___ while golfing. Does not remember any trauma or physical action that may have triggered his back pain. The pain felt deep, throbbing, aching, and radiated across his buttocks. It does not feel like any back pain that he has had before. He had no chest pain, abdominal pain, dyspnea. He also felt weak and "had a terrible game", then came home and went straight to bed. At that point, his pain was ___. He has also not had a BM x 1 week and recently has been having very weak urinary stream. No knowledge of prostate issues. He denies nausea/vomiting, fevers/chills/sweats. Yesterday, ___, he presented to ___ for pain. At ___, he was noted to have temp 103 and also noted to have urinary retention: urinated 100cc and put out 600cc more when catheterized. No stool incontinence. No weakness. Has baseline lower extremity numbness bilaterally. He had afib with RVR to 146 (he has not been taking home meds, including home digoxin and metoprolol due to back pain). This was treated with tylenol and Dilaudid and IVF 500cc bolus (CHF on CXR) with resolution of HR to 110s. Troponin was found to be 0.05, thought to be demand ischemia from rate; patient had no chest pain. Workup for fever included UA (negative), CT abdomen/pelvis which showed acute cholecystitis but the patient has no RUQ TTP or thoracic back pain and question of L1 endplate erosion, infection vs degenerative changes). No blood cultures were sent. At this point, differential for back pain was atypical presentation of cholecystitis versus epidural abscess or osteomyelitis. The patient was treated with IV Vancomycin and ceftriaxone. Since MRI cannot be done at ___, he was transferred to ___. At ___ ED, initial vitals were: 98.4 82 116/64 16 98% - Labs were significant for negative troponin, dig 0.5, lipase 61 otherwise normal LFT, Hct 37.7, INR 1.3. No leukocytosis but left-shifted with 83% PMNs. - Patient was given morphine 5mg - Liver ultrasound: per attending radiologist, concerning for acute cholecystitis. -MRI spine: per neuroradiology, shows 2 fluid collections, L4-L5 posterior spinal canal fluid collection and paraspinal soft tissue abscess -He dropped his pressure at one point due to morphine, that resloved with the gentle IV fluids. He then developed some rapid afib and received metoprolol and Digoxin Po with good effect and no BP issues. Vitals prior to transfer were: HR 102 110/66 22 97% RA On the floor, initial VS: 99, HR 100 afib, BP 124/82, 18 99% RA. Over 8 hrs, made 600cc urine.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital because you had high fevers and back pain. We found that your fever and back pain were due to an infection ___ your back. This pocket of infection was drained by Interventional Radiology, which improved your back pain. We also treated you with antibiotics. You will need to continue the antibiotic nafcillin for the next 6 weeks. You received a PICC line, which is a special IV, that will allow you to continue IV nafcillin at home. You will follow up with the Infectious Disease doctor ___ appointment time below) and they may decide to do more imaging of your back. They will tell when it is appropriate to stop your antibiotic. After you stop, the visiting nurse ___ remove the PICC line from your arm. While you were ___ the hospital, you also felt very short of breath. We think this was caused by multiple reasons. We found a blood clot ___ your leg and did an ultrasound that showed some right heart strain, suggesting that you have a blood clot ___ your lungs, which may be causing shortness of breath. We treated this initially with IV heparin. Then you were switched to Xarelto (rivaroxaban), which is a pill you must take twice per day. We recommend 15 mg twice per day for 3 weeks then switching to 20 mg once per day for ___ months. Your PCP ___ help you decide when to stop this medication. We also think your shortness of breath may be due to some fluid ___ your lungs because you received IV fluids ___ the hospital, so we treated this with Lasix, a medication that helps your body get rid of extra fluid. We continued to treat your COPD with nebulizers and inhalers. We also think that you will benefit from a sleep study once you leave the hospital. This may be very important to help you breath at night and help you sleep through the night. Your atrial fibrillation medications were also increased while you were ___ the hospital, because your heart rate was very rapid and difficult to control. A rapid heart rate can be triggered by infection and a blood clot ___ your lungs. So it is possible that ___ several weeks, your PCP may decide to decrease your metoprolol and digoxin again. Please continue to follow up with your doctors. It was a pleasure to take care of you ___ the hospital. We wish you the best! Your ___ Team

He reports that he was in his usual state of health until 4 days prior to admission, when he developed gradual-onset intermittent "throbbing" left upper quadrant/midepigastric pain, up to ___ in intensity and radiating occasionally to the ipsilateral back. He is unable to identify a clear precipitant, but does note that pain is exacerbated by oral intake of any kind, with accompanying nausea, or activity. Pain is reminiscent of prior pancreatitis-associated pain in quality and intensity, but in past episodes, pain was not localized primarily to the left abdomen, wrapping instead across the epigastrum. While he does experience acid reflux symptoms at baseline following gastrostomy, for which he takes omeprazole, he denies chronic abdominal pain. He consumes a mainly low-fat diet and avoids NSAIDs, alcohol, and recreational substances. He denies recent fevers, chills, sweats, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, melena, hematochezia, travel, or sick contacts. He recalls that he last developed abdominal pain in ___, at which time he presented to an outside hospital and underwent abdominal CT, demonstrating persistent pseudocyst, but was not admitted. In regards to his history of pancreatitis, the patient was in good healthy until ___ when he was first hospitalized with with acute pancreatitis with a lipase > 15,000 and CT showing involvement of the head, neck, and uncinate process of the pancreas. Ultrasound did not show choledocholithiasis at that time. Subsequently, he was hospitalized ___ more times for recurrent pain with elevation of his lipase into the 100s. Based on review of notes in our system, the etiology of his recurrent pancreatitis is still unclear- he was a social drinker prior to first episode of pancreatitis but no heavy EtOH, no stones observed, IgG4 negative. Because stones possible etiology, he underwent a laproscopic cholecystectomy ___. After the procedure, he was discharged home but returned with continued abdomin pain and CT showed 12.1cm pseudocyst. He was re-admitted and treated with bowel rest, IVF, and IV analgesics and received 6wk TPN. Subsequent CT showed a necrotizing component as well. Therefore, on ___ the patient underwent pancreatic pseudocyst gastrostomy for necrotizing pancreatitis with associated pseudocyst. The patient reports that after this procedure, he has not had any additional hospitalizations. The patient reports that he last developed abdominal pain in ___, at which time he presented to an outside hospital ___ ___ Outpatient ___ walk in clinic) and underwent abdominal CT. Per patient report, the CT demonstrated a persistent pseudocyst, but he was not admitted at that time. The patient also had an EGD performed in ___ (___ Digestive ___ Ct), and he was told that there were no concerning findings. In the ED initial vital signs were as follows: 97.5, 58, 150/90, 17, 99% RA. Admission labs were notable for unremarkable CBC, Chem7, and LFTs, and lipase of 108. CT abdomen/pelvis was deferred, given benign abdominal exam and desire to avoid further radiation. He received a total of 2mg IV hydromorphone prior to transfer to the floor. On the floor, he is comfortable with minimal abdominal pain following opioid administration in the ED.

Omentum, resection: - Fibroadipose tissue with congestion and acute serositis. ___: Chest Port Line Placement: In comparison with study of ___, this and placement of right IJ catheter that extends to the right atrium. No evidence of post procedure pneumothorax. Otherwise little change in the appearance of the heart and lungs and the significantly dilated loops of bowel in the abdomen. ___: Cest Port Line Placement: No definite change compared 1 day earlier. CHF findings may be slightly improved. Tip of the ET tube is unchanged, but difficult to confirm on the current film. Please see comments above. ___: EKG: Probable atrial tachycardia with 2:1 conduction. Non-specific inferolateral T wave flattening. Poor R wave progression. No previous tracing available for comparison. ___: Portable Abdomen x-ray: Multiple dilated loops of bowel measuring up to 7.7 cm, may represent ileus or bowel obstruction. ___: ECHO: Based on ___ AHA endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations, the echo findings indicate prophylaxis is NOT recommended. Clinical decisions regarding the need for prophylaxis should be based on clinical and echocardiographic data. ___: EKG: Probable sinus tachycardia with premature atrial beats in a trigeminal pattern. Poor R wave progression. Low QRS voltages in the limb leads. Compared to tracing #1 atrial trigeminy is present. The QRS changes in leads V3-V5 are probably due to lead placement. ___: KUB: No signs of retained surgical sponge. ___: Chest Port Line Tube: In comparison the earlier study of this date, the tip of the endotracheal tube now measures approximately 4.5 cm above the carina. Other monitoring support devices are unchanged. Continued opacification at the left base silhouetting the hemidiaphragm, consistent with substantial volume loss in left lower lobe and small layering pleural effusion. The right lung is essentially unchanged. ___: EKG: Atrial flutter, probably typical. Low limb lead voltage. Somewhat late R wave progression. Other ST-T wave abnormalities. No previous tracing available for comparison. ___: CXR: Comparison to ___. Stable appearance of the right hemithorax.

No new focal parenchymal changes. Stable correct position of the monitoring and support devices. ___: CXR: Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___. Heterogeneous opacification has developed in the right lung, worsened on the left. Some of this is due to increasing pleural effusion, particularly in the left hemithorax, but the bilateral nature of the abnormality suggests pulmonary edema. Careful follow-up is recommended following attempts to improved hemodynamic status because of the possibility of on alternative explanation in bilateral pneumonia. No pneumothorax. Nasogastric drainage tube passes through nondistended stomach to the proximal duodenum. ___: Chest Port Line/Tube: Dobhoff tube tip isin the stomach. No other interval change from prior study. ___: CXR (PA&LAT): Pleural effusions. Basilar atelectasis. Pulmonary edema. ___: CT Abdomen/Pelvis: Areas of wall thickening involving large bowel, may be reactive, consider colitis. Major abdominal arteries, veins are patent. Few foci of air in the pelvis may be postsurgical, there is adjacent mild linear areas of enhancement, no organized fluid collection. Residual infection cannot be excluded, if patient does not improve clinically, follow-up exam recommended to exclude development of an abscess. Moderate ascites. Multiple dilated small bowel loops in the low abdomen, pelvis, with gradual transition point, more likely represent adynamic ileus than obstruction. 10 mm hypoattenuating nodule within the right adrenal gland is indeterminate.

LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: ___ year old man with line repositioning// line place Contact name: ___: ___ FINDINGS: ET tube tip lies approximately 5.6 cm above the carina. NG tube is similar configuration. However, the left hemidiaphragm gastric fundus are not well delineated making it difficult to confirm its position. Prior study suggested that it was in an elevated left hemidiaphragm. Right subclavian PICC right right IJ line tip overlies the SVC/RA junction. No pneumothorax is detected. There is dense retrocardiac density consistent with left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation, but the possibility elevated left hemidiaphragm cannot be excluded. Platelike atelectasis at the right base. Mild vascular plethora, though this is likely accentuated by low lung volumes. Doubt overt CHF. No right-sided effusion. Small left effusion cannot be excluded. Distended loops of bowel seen in the upper abdomen are similar to the prior study. No free air is identified beneath the diaphragm. Old healed right-sided rib fracture noted. IMPRESSION: No definite change compared 1 day earlier. CHF findings may be slightly improved. Tip of the ET tube is unchanged, but difficult to confirm on the current film. Please see comments above.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and were found to have a sigmoid volvulus (a bowel obstruction due to twisting of part of the colon). The Gastroenterology Service initially tried to decompress your bowels by endoscopically placing a rectal tube, but you did not improve and ultimately required surgical management. You were taken to the operating room and underwent surgical removal of your sigmoid colon as the bowel was diseased, and creation of a colostomy. After the procedure you had intra-abdominal bleeding and were urgently taken back to the operating room and underwent surgical repair and packing of the bleeding and had a wound vac sponge placed to help with temporary closure. You went back to the operating room later and underwent surgical closure of your abdominal wound. After surgery, you had difficulty swallowing and were seen by the Speech & Swallow team. You had a dobhoff tube placed in your nose and into your stomach so you could receive tube feedings for nutrition. You had a videoswallow study performed and were later cleared for food by mouth with tube feeds for nutritional supplementation. You had some difficulty breathing and were found to have pleural effusions (A buildup of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and the chest) in both your left and right lungs. You underwent drainage of these fluid collections and tolerated this procedure well. Your white blood count, which is marker for inflammation and infection, was trended and noted to be elevated. You were worked up for an infection and the only positive finding was your urine culture which revealed a urinary tract infection. You were started on a course of an antibiotic, called Ciprofloxacin, and will be discharged on a course of this medication. Your ostomy is functioning well and you are tolerating tube feeds and food by mouth. Your pain is better controlled. You have worked with Physical Therapy and it is recommended that you be discharged to rehab to continue your recovery. You are now ready to be discharged from the hospital. Please note the following discharge instructions: Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner or return to the Emergency Department for any of the following: *You experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or tightness. *New or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or wheeze. *If you are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids or your medications. *You are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea, or other reasons. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing. *You see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a bowel movement. *You experience burning when you urinate, have blood in your urine, or experience a discharge. *Your pain in not improving within ___ hours or is not gone within 24 hours. Call or return immediately if your pain is getting worse or changes location or moving to your chest or back. *You have shaking chills, or fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius. *Any change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern you. Please resume all regular home medications, unless specifically advised not to take a particular medication. Also, please take any new medications as prescribed. Please get plenty of rest, continue to ambulate several times per day, and drink adequate amounts of fluids. Avoid lifting weights greater than ___ lbs until you follow-up with your surgeon. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking pain medications. Incision Care: *Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have increased pain, swelling, redness, or drainage from the incision site. *Avoid swimming and baths until your follow-up appointment. *You may shower, and wash surgical incisions with a mild soap and warm water. Gently pat the area dry. *If you have staples, they will be removed at your follow-up appointment. *If you have steri-strips, they will fall off on their own. Please remove any remaining strips ___ days after surgery. Monitoring Ostomy output/ Prevention of Dehydration: *Keep well hydrated. *Replace fluid loss from ostomy daily. *Avoid only drinking plain water. Include Gatorade and/or other vitamin drinks to replace fluid. *Try to maintain ostomy output between 1000mL to 1500mL per day. *If Ostomy output >1 liter, take 4mg of Imodium, repeat 2mg with each episode of loose stool. Do not exceed 16mg/24 hours.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were admitted due to increasing shortness of breath, high heart rate, and bleeding in your urine and around your liver drain. We found you had a condition called DIC that causes you to be very susceptible to severe bleeding. Although we transfused you blood and blood products to help treat the bleeding, the underlying cause of the DIC is your cancer. After discussion with you and your family, we elected against further cancer directed care with chemotherapy. Rather, we decided to focus on palliative care and allow you the chance to return home with your family under hospice care. We wish you all the best. Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

Right common femoral artery arteriogram. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient and her daughter. 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. Both groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Using palpatory and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral artery was punctured using a micropuncture set at the level of the mid-femoral head. A 0.018 wire was passed easily into the vessel lumen. A small skin incision was made over the needle. Then the inner dilator and wire were removed and a ___ 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 RIM catheter was advanced over ___ wire into the aorta. The wire was removed and the inferior mesenteric artery was selectively cannulated and a small contrast injection was made to confirm position. A inferior mesenteric artery arteriogram was performed. An ___ micro catheter and Transcend micro wire were then carefully guided into the left colic artery. The wire was removed, and a contrast injection was performed to confirm positioning. A left colic arteriogram was performed. The STC micro catheter and Transcend micro wire were then carefully guided into the left colic artery branch 1. The wire was removed, and a contrast injection was performed to confirm positioning. A left colic branch 1 arteriogram was performed. Embolization of left colic artery branch 1 was then performed with 5 figure of 8 non detachable microcoils (2 mm x 5 mm). A post embolization angiogram was performed. The ___ micro catheter and Transcend micro wire were then carefully guided into the left colic artery branch 2. The wire was removed, and a contrast injection was performed to confirm positioning. A left colic branch 2 arteriogram was performed. Embolization of left colic artery branch 2 was then performed with 3 figure of 8, 0.018 microcoils (2 mm x 5 mm). A post embolization angiogram was performed. The micro catheter and micro wire were then removed. The RIM catheter was disengaged from the inferior mesenteric artery, and was exchanged for a C2 Cobra catheter over ___ wire. The C2 Cobra catheter was used to carefully cannulate the superior mesenteric artery. A contrast injection was performed to confirm positioning. A superior mesenteric arteriogram was performed. The right common femoral artery sheath was then injected with contrast, performing a right common femoral arteriogram. At the request of the medicine service, a central line was placed. US revealed patency of the right common femoral vein. Sonographic images were aquired. Using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral vein was punctured using a micropuncture set at the level of the mid femoral head. A 0.018 inch wire was then passed easily into the vessel lumen. A small skin incision was made over the needle. Then the inner dilator and wire were removed and ___ wire was advanced under fluoroscopy into the IVC. The micropuncture sheath was exchanged for a triple lumen central catheter over wire. The wire was removed. All 3 lumens were aspirated and flushed. The catheter was secured to the skin with silk sutures. A sterile dressing was applied. All catheters and wires were removed. Right common femoral arterial access h emostasis was achieved with a ___ Angio-Seal device and manual pressure. Sterile dressings were applied.

Dear Ms. ___, You came in the hospital because your daughter found you on the ground at home and you were very sick. You were found to have a severe wound on your right buttock that caused you to get an infection of your bone. You also were found to have an imbalance in the bacteria in your gut called "c diff." You were given antibiotics to treat these infections, and you improved, but since your infection was so severe you had to spend some time in the intensive care unit. You had several surgeries to clean out your wound and a biopsy of your bone to tell us which antibiotics to give you. You were given antibiotics through an IV and your infection improved. You also had a bleed from your colon and had to spend more time in the intensive care unit to keep you safe. You had several blood transfusions and had a procedure done to stop the bleeding. You improved and were transferred to another hospital to continue antibiotics and get you stronger. It is very important that you make it to all of your follow-up appointments and stop drinking alcohol. It was a pleasure being involved in your care! Your ___ Care Team

Dear Mr. ___, You came to the hospital because you had a hand tremor at dialysis. You had some white blood cells in your urine, so you were initially treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI). The urine culture we took did not grow any bacteria, so we do NOT think you have a UTI. However, you continued to have fevers. We found that you had a pneumonia, which we treated with antibiotics, and you improved so that you were stable for discharge. It was a privilege to care for you in the hospital, and we wish you all the best. Sincerely, Your ___ Health Team

Dear Mr ___, You were admitted to the hospital because you were having bloody diarrhea. Your diarrhea improved with supportive care and was likely due to an infectious cause. You continued to pass red blood in your stool, so you had a colonoscopy on ___ that showed large hemorrhoids that had been bleeding. Colorectal surgery was consulted for consideration of banding of the hemorrhoids to prevent them from bleeding. They recommended conservative management. You also were found to have pancreatitis during this hospital stay, which was most likely due to gallstones. General surgery saw you to evaluate you for gallbladder removal surgery.

Mr. ___, You were admitted after a fall with concern for a seizure in the setting of several days of inability to maintain oral intake secondary to nausea and vomiting. You were monitored on EEG and had an episode of generalized shaking that was not an epileptic seizure. Although this event was not a seizure, that does not mean you have not had seizures in the past, including leading to your most recent fall. You were restarted on your anti-seizure medications intravenously until you were able to tolerate oral medications. You did not have any seizures during admission, and you should continue your seizure medications as prescribed and seizure precautions as recommended by your neurologist after discharge. You were also noted to have significant left shoulder pain. Your Xray and CT did not show a fracture. Your pain significantly improved with a lidocaine pain patch, which will be provided for you at discharge. An MRI of shoulder was obtained to ensure there was no tendon injury as you have had prior injury to your rotator cuff. We have requested a follow-up appointment for you with an outpatient orthopedic surgeon for further management of your shoulder pain/injury. As you presented with significant nausea and vomiting with mid-abdominal pain, the gastroenterology team was consulted for further evaluation. Upper endoscopy demonstrated significant inflammation in your stomach with some non-bleeding small ulcers in your stomach and small intestine. Your nausea/vomiting improved during your hospitalization, which could have been related to your recent fall as well as the gastritis. You will need to continue omeprazole for 8 weeks and should avoid all NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, Goody powder, BC powder, ___ seltzer, etc.). You should follow-up with your primary care provider for further management of you abdominal pain and nausea. You were discharged with a cane from physical/occupational therapy with recommendations for intermittent support as needed from family and outpatient physical therapy for shoulder range of motion and strengthening. Thank you for allowing us to participate in your care. Sincerely, Your ___ neurology team

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___. You were admitted with diarrhea that was likely caused by an infection. You were initially given antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin and flagyl) but your c.difficile test came back negative. In addition, the dofetilide you take for your heart can make you more likely to have abnormal heart rhythms. Ciprofloxacin makes this more likely and so this medication was discontinued. Most infectious diarrhea gets better on its own so you don't need any additional medications. If you develop further diarrhea, please don't take Immodium as this will prevent the infection from being cleared. You may resume taking your stool softeners after a few days to let your bowel rest. Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

Chief Complaint: headache, 'foggyness', left sided sensory changes Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: The pt is a ___ F with history of right cavernous hemangioma found in setting of severe migraines and complex partial seizures, s/p resection in ___, with resolution of seizures, who was found to have new right cavernous hemangiom ain ___ in setting of recurrence of migraine, who presents after episode of left sided numbness/tingling three days ago and then migrain this morning associated with 'foggyness' as well as cold sensation on left side of body. Patient reports that in ___ she started having sever migraines which were bifrontal throbbing, associated with photophobia and phonophobia, nausea and sometimes vomiting, which could last the entire day and were happening three to four times weekly. Around the same time, she started having complex partial seizures consisting of head and eye shaking with head turning to the left and difficulty with speech production, but retained consciousness (could hear and see her surroundings). these would last ~ 2minutes but were quite frequent, sometimes clustering three in one day. In that setting, she underwent MRI brain which showed right cavernous hemangioma. She was also started on Keppra for seizure prophylaxis at that time, but continued to have seizures despite Keppra. She had serial MRI's to monitor hemagioma and this was find to have significantly grown and had hemorrhage in 3 months. That together with persistent seizures made surgeons decide to recent the cavernous hemangioma in ___. Post-operatively, patient reports initially she had left face and body paralysis, but no sensory loss. She underwent aggressive rehab and ___ and recovered most function except her left hand which is still very weak. After surgery, she continued on Keppra but few months aftre had two GTC seizures, each brief ~ 1 minute. A year afterwards, she was seizure free and weaned off Keppra. Continued to be seizure and headache free for a long time. However, starting ___, she started having severe migraines which were very similar to her prior migraines in quality and intensity. She saw her Neurologist at the time at ___ who recommended MRI brain. This showed new, albeit smaller right cavernous hemangioma. Patient was started on Topamax initially 25mg po BID just for headaches, but then increased to 50mg po BID also for seizure prophylaxis. She was also started on Sumatriptan 50mg prn severe migraine. She had repeat MRI at 6 months which showed stable hemangioma and no hemorrhage. In the interim, she moved to ___ to go to college to ___. She was lost to follow-up. She continues to have migraines initially once weekly but now once every couple of months, last had been 1.5 months ago. Patient now presents because three days ago she sat up from laying down and had sudden sensation of numbness and tngling over the left side of her face and her left arm and leg. This lasted through the night and dissipated by the next morning. This was not associated with other symptoms and did not have a headache with it. Patient states she has never had anything similar in the past. This morning, patient woke up with typical migraine and took Sumatriptan. Afterwards at work, however, she felt very 'foggy' as if she were 'in a cloud' feeling 'sluggish' and with slowed speech. The left side of her body also started feeling cold. She was concerned because in pat before a seizure she would get a similar 'foggy' sensation. No abnormal movements or shaking. Came to our ED for further eval.

There is a small focus of negative susceptibility with T2 hypointense signal, in the medial aspect adjacent to the right lateral ventricle series 7, image 15 and series 5, image 15 the can relate to prior blood products or any residual component of the cavernoma; differentiation between the two can be difficult on non-contrast imaging. This focus is not hyperdense on the noncontrast CT to suggest obvious acute hemorrhage within. No remote studies are available to assess for interval change. No acute infarct, mass effect, shift of normally midline structures or hydrocephalus. Mild ex vacuo dilation of the right lateral ventricle, related to the encephalomalacic changes. Otherwise, the ventricles, the cerebral sulci and the cerebellar folia are normal. Minimal periventricular FLAIR hyperintense signal, non-specific The pituitary is slightly small. The pineal gland and the craniocervical junction regions are grossly unremarkable. Cerebellar tonsils are located at the level of the foramina magnum. The major intracranial arterial flow voids are noted. Venous sinuses are unremarkable. Retention cysts in the right maxillary sinuses. A few small nodes in the upper neck, not abnormally enlarged. Mildly prominent adenoids. Slightly hypointense marrow signal diffusely, may relate to cellular marrow. IMPRESSION: 1. Encephalomalacic and gliotic changes in the right frontal lobe, at the site of prior resection of known cavernoma as per the history. A small focus of negative susceptibility at the medial aspect, can relate to prior blood products or any residual component of the cavernoma; differentiation between the two can be difficult on non-contrast imaging. This focus is not hyperdense on the noncontrast CT to suggest obvious acute hemorrhage within. No change in size compared to recent CT done a few hours earlier. No remote studies are available to assess for interval change. Consider close followup CT to assess for any interval change if there is continued concern. 2. Small pituitary-?

Intention tremor on finger-nose-finger on left. Remainder exam nonfocal. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: History of lightheadedness and new atrial flutter, question infection. COMPARISONS: Portable radiograph from ___ from ___ ___ and portable radiograph from ___. TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral chest radiographs were provided. FINDINGS: There is no focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal aside from leftward deflection of the upper trachea most commonly due to thyroid enlargement, which has been imaged in this patient's past. Osseous structures are intact. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with atrial fibrillation on rivaroxaban, and recent cerebellar stroke with hemorrhagic transformation; assess for interval change. COMPARISON: Multiple head CTs dating back to ___, most recent from ___ and MR ___ from outside hospital from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT images of the brain were obtained without intravenous contrast NON-CONTRAST HEAT CT: Hemorrhagic transformation at the site of a known left inferior medial cerebellar infarct appears slightly larger and more confluent as compared to recent prior examination. Hemorrhage continues to cross the midline resulting in severe mass effect upon the dorsal aspect of the fourth ventricle (2:5). Ventricular size overall appears similar to prior with the atria of the left lateral ventricle measuring 17 mm compared to 16 mm previously (2:13). There is no evidence of developing obstructive hydrocephalus. Cerebellar tonsils remain low-lying, though unchanged from prior. No new intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage is identified. There is no mass or acute large territorial infarction. There is no shift of usually midline structures. Suprasellar and basilar cisterns are widely patent. There is no scalp or osseous abnormality. Mucosal thickening within the ethmoid air cells and imaged maxillary sinuses appear unchanged from prior. Mastoid air cells remain well aerated. IMPRESSION: Hemorrhagic transformation of a left cerebellar infarct, slightly increased in size with effacement of the fourth venticle. No current evidence of obstructive hydrocephalus or further cerebellar tonsillar herniation. Radiology Report HISTORY: Evaluate for interval change of hemorrhagic conversion of left cerebellar CVA. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___. FINDINGS: The parenchymal hemorrhage in the left cerebellum appears slightly denser than on the prior study from the ___, however the overall size and the mass effect it causes appears unchanged. Once again noted is that the hemorrhage crosses the midline resulting in effacement of the dorsal aspect of the ___ ventricle. The remaining ventricles are unchanged in size, making obstructive hydrocephalus unlikely at this point. Otherwise, there is no new acute hemorrhage, vascular territorial infarction, or mass. The basal cisterns are patent. Again noted is mucosal thickening in the bilateral ethmoid and sphenoid air cells. The middle ear cavities and mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: Overall stable size and mass effect caused by hemorrhagic conversion of left cerebellar infarction. Gender: M Race: OTHER Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: ?

Dear Mr. ___, You were brought to the hospital due to palpitations, which were likely secondary to your atrial fibrillation/flutter. In the ED, head CT was done and showed some blood in the area where your stroke is. The CT was repeated and showed some increase in the amount of blood, so the Rivaroxaban was held. A subsequent CT scan was performed and showed that the bleeding is stable. You should restart your Rivaroxaban on ___. With regards to your heart, your rhythm was atrial flutter and the rate remained elevated (>100) when you were admitted, so cardiology decided to stop the amiodarone and Metoprolol was started instead; the Metoprolol dose is 25 mg three times daily. The daily dose of the Diltiazem was also increased to 360 mg. This resulted in improvement of your heart rate. Your stroke risk factors were checked during the last hospitalization. Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please followup with Neurology and your primary care physician as listed below. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - sudden partial or complete loss of vision - sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - sudden weakness of one side of the body - sudden drooping of one side of the face - sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body - sudden difficulty pronouncing words (slurring of speech) - sudden blurring or doubling of vision - sudden onset of vertigo (sensation of your environment spinning around you) - sudden clumsiness of the arm and leg on one side or sudden tendency to fall to one side (left or right) - sudden severe headache accompanied by the inability to stay awake It was a pleasure providing you with care during this hospitalization.

Vasculature: No abdominal aortic aneurysm. Left renal vein is retroaortic. Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: No concerning bone lesions. The adnexal region is partially covered on this exam. However, there is a T2 bright density in the pelvis measuring 6.5 x 2.9 cm likely originating from the left adnexa. This is to be further characterized by pelvic ultrasound or pelvic MRI. IMPRESSION: 1. The liver lesion correspond to a simple hemangioma. 2. Left external iliac lymphadenopathy measuring 11 x 25 mm. 3. T2 bright left adnexal lesion to be further characterized by either pelvic ultrasound or pelvic MRI. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: PELVIS, NON-OBSTETRIC INDICATION: ___ year old woman with left adnexal mass and enlarged left external iliac lymph node seen as incidental findings on MRI liver// Characterize left adnexal mass seen on MRI TECHNIQUE: Grayscale ultrasound images of the pelvis were obtained with transabdominal approach followed by transvaginal approach for further delineation of uterine and ovarian anatomy. COMPARISON: MRI performed earlier on the same date. FINDINGS: The uterus is anteverted and measures 10.3 x 8.3 x 7.9 cm. There are multiple uterine masses consistent with fibroids. The largest measures 5.2 x 4.4 x 4.9 cm in the left anterior uterus. The second largest is an exophytic fibroid arising from the right fundus measuring 4.1 x 4.1 x 3.6 cm. The endometrium is distorted and partially obscured by adjacent fibroids, but where seen appears normal and measures 1.0 cm. The ovaries are not well seen due to shadowing from the adjacent fibroid uterus. However, the left ovary is normal in appearance. In the right adnexa, are anechoic, avascular cystic spaces, which may represent a ovarian or paraovarian cyst versus a hydrosalpinx. There is a small amount of free fluid. IMPRESSION: 1. No left adnexal abnormality. Previously seen T2 bright signal in the left adnexa likely represents a small amount of free fluid. 2. When read in conjunction with the same day MRI, cystic spaces in the right adnexa likely represent an ovarian or paraovarian cyst. However, hydrosalpinx could also be considered. Significant shadowing from fibroid uterus obscures fine detail of the right adnexa which is deep in the pelvis. 3. Fibroid uterus.

Dear ___, It was a pleasure caring for you at ___ ___. WHY WERE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL? - You were transferred to ___ for further workup of a concerning liver mass seen on a CT scan at ___. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL? - You were started on antibiotics because there was concern that the mass seen on your liver was a pocket of infection, called an abscess. An MRI scan was obtained to further evaluate this mass. This scan showed that the mass was in fact not an abscess, but was something called a hemangioma (a non-cancerous tumor, made up of blood vessels). Your antibiotics were stopped when we were sure that you did not have an abscess. Our interventional radiology team reviewed your MRI scan and felt that the best course of action would be to have you follow up in liver clinic for further management. -There was an incidental finding on your liver MRI that was concerning for something going on with your left ovary. We had an ultrasound performed that your left ovary was normal. You do have an enlarged lymph node in your groin on the left side, but radiology felt that this was not concerning. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO AFTER YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL? - Continue to take all your medicines as prescribed below. - Show up to your appointments as listed below. - You will need to call your insurance company to identify a primary care doctor who can see you and will accept your insurance. Please do this as soon as possible! You should bring this packet of paperwork with you when you go to your first appointment. We wish you the best! Sincerely, Your ___ Team

Dear Mr ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you. You were admitted to the cardiology service for evaluation of left arm pain. You had an exercise tolerance test which was indeterminant, thus you underwent additional testing during your hospitalization. Although we initially discussed cardiac catheterization, we ultimately cancelled the procedure because your physical exam and lab work argued against cardiac cause for your pain. Your left arm pain was reproducible upon palpation which suggests muscle pain. Your cardiac enzymes, which are markers for damage to heart tissue, were normal. You had a nuclear stress test prior to discharge which was normal. This supports that your left arm pain is NOT coming from the heart. You were prescribed a short course of muscle relaxant (flexeril), we advise you NOT to drive while taking flexeril as it may cause drowsiness. It was a pleasure to be a part of your care, Your ___ treatment team

You were admitted with pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. You were treated with pain medicine and nausea medicine and you got better. Your other medical issues were stable. You may have developed gout in your right great toe but this has not been confirmed as you do not have enough fluid in the joint to try to remove with a needle. Please follow up with your primary rheumatologist about this as well as the new bumps on your legs, which may go away if they were associated with the pancreatitis. If they do not resolve, then they need further evaluation including possible biopsy.

Right internal jugular approach chest double 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. The right upper neck was examined under ultrasound, the internal jugular vein was atretic. Attempts to access the internal jugular vein at the level of the confluence with the subclavian vein were unsuccessful due to absence of a safe window. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right external 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 double 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. Steri-strips were used to close the venotomy incision site. Steri-Strips were applied over the sutures. 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 right internal jugular vein.

THORACIC: There are new postsurgical changes from interval T5 laminectomy and T2-T7 posterior spinal fusion with bilateral vertical rods and transpedicular screws. Hardware artifact somewhat limits evaluation of adjacent structures. Within these confines: Alignment is within normal limits. There is unchanged moderate anterior height loss of T5. Remaining vertebral body heights are maintained. There is unchanged T2/STIR hyperintense, T1 hypointense, enhancing marrow signal within the T3, T4, T5, and T6 vertebral bodies. Abnormal, expansile signal is again seen extending into the remaining T5 posterior elements. The STIR hyperintense, enhancing lesion seen involving the posterior half of the T11 vertebral body extending into the pedicles, laminae, and spinous process, consistent with metastasis, is unchanged. There may be slight posterior epidural soft tissue extension of tumor on the right into the anterior epidural space, similar in appearance to prior. There is an equivocal short-segment focus of abnormal cord signal in the right aspect of the spinal cord at the level of T5 at the prior compression (series 10, image 23 as well as series 3, image 9, 6:9). The remainder of the thoracic spinal cord appears normal in caliber and signal intensity, within limitations detailed above.

Patient is status post T2-T7 fusion with T5 laminectomy. Metallic hardware are present along the posterior aspect the spinous processes of T2 through T7, with parallel rods oriented cranial caudally and pedal screws at T2, T3, T4 T6, and T7. The screws appear to be positioned intraosseously without definite evidence of adjacent lucency. There is no definite evidence of hardware fracture. There is diffuse metastatic osseous involvement of the bilateral clavicles, sternum, thoracic vertebral bodies, and left scapula. Within the lateral aspects of the bilateral clavicles, there is soft tissue destruction with associated comminuted fractures.

However, there appears to have been interval growth of the largest lymph node in the left paraesophageal region (Series 8, image 27) now measuring 11 mm, previously 9 mm on prior CT T-spine. However, the remainder of the lymph nodes appear unchanged to minimally decreased in size from prior. A central venous catheter is seen terminating in the right atrium. Within the visualized lung fields, the left major fissure appears mildly thickened, new since prior exam. Within the visualized abdomen, there is a 1.0 x 1.8 cm rounded region of hypodensity adjacent to the right posterior portal vein (series 8, image 89), not well evaluated on prior exam. There are 2 additional subcentimeter regions of hypodensity within the right posterior segment of the liver.

Dear Ms. ___, It was our pleasure taking care of you at the ___ ___! WHAT BROUGHT YOU THE HOSPITAL? You were vomiting and had a fever at home. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOSPITAL? - You were found to have a low white blood cell count. This is due to the chemotherapy for your leukemia. - You were given antibiotics to treat a likely infection. As your white blood cell count recovered, the antibiotics were stopped. - In the Emergency Room, you were enrolled in a clinical trial, which will help healthcare providers determine what kinds of treatments future patients with infections should get. - You underwent a swab of your nose to determine whether you have a viral infection. The results of this are pending. - You developed shortness of breath after receiving IV fluids. It was because fluid built up in your lungs. Why this happened is unclear. You underwent an echocardiogram of your heart, which did not find significant differences compared to one month ago. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO ONCE YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL? - Please take all your medications as prescribed and attend your doctor's appointments. We wish you all the best! Your ___ Healthcare Team

EUS on ___: Impression: 5 mm stone wedged into the distal pancreatic duct. No definitive filling defects in the CBD. After discussion with Dr. ___ was made not to proceed to ERCP for biliary evaluation, but rather to reschedule patient for ERCP with both biliary and pancreatic sphincterotomy. Recommendations: Recommend ERCP with likely biliary and pancreatic duct sphincterotomy and stone extraction with Dr. ___ on ___. ERCP: ___ Findings: Esophagus:Limited exam of the esophagus was normal Stomach:Limited exam of the stomach was normal Duodenum:Limited exam of the duodenum was normal Major Papilla:Significant edema of the duodenal mucosa was noted suggestive of changes due to recent pancreatitis. Cannulation: Cannulation of the biliary duct was successful and deep with a sphincterotome using a free-hand technique. Contrast medium was injected resulting in complete opacification. Cannulation of the pancreatic duct was successful and deep with a cannula using a free-hand technique. Contrast medium was injected resulting in complete opacification. Biliary Tree fluoroscopic interpretation:The CBD appeared to be of normal size and measured 6 mm. No filling defects were noted within the CBD. In order to expose the pancreatic orifice, it was decided to perform a sphincterotomy. Pancreas fluoroscopic interpretation: There appeared to be a filling defect at the lower end of PD suggesting of a stone. This stone could represent the stone seen on recent imaging studies. The PD proximal to this area appeared to be dilated uniformly. No changes suggestive of chronic pancreatitis were seen in the PD. A 7cm by ___ single pigtail pancreatic stent was placed successfully. I supervised the acquisition and interpretation of the fluoroscopic images. The quality of the fluoroscopic images was good. Total flouro time: 7.4 min Procedures: A biliary sphincterotomy was performed successfully with a sphincterotome at 12'o clock position. Given the possibility of PD stone, a small pancreatic sphincterotomy was carefully performed using a needle-knife over the PD stent.
