Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
Transfer for ARDS
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intubation
CVL placement ___
History of Present Illness:
___ is a ___ year-old male with unknown medical history who
presents as a transfer from ___ with ARDS and transfer
for consideration of ECMO.
Patient was found unresponsive at home with heroin residue
around
his nose. Bystanders administered four doses of intranasal
narcan
(16mg) and immediately started performing CPR as he was
non-responsive. EMS arrived and continued CPR, placed IV, and
gave additional 2mg IV Narcan with ROSC, although it was unclear
if patient actually had cardiac arrest given rapidity within
which ROSC was achieved.
Patient was transported to ___ where the patient was
reportedly alert, in notable respiratory distress, attempted to
speak. He was able to maintain SpO2 in the mid ___, but was
increasingly tachypneic. He was then intubated with RSI and
dropped to SpO2 to ___ despite paralysis. When MedFlight arrived
he was started on inhaled epoprostenol sodium (Flolan) with
improvement to SpO2 95%. Labs were notable for VBG pH 7.07, pCO2
53.8, HCO3 23.5. WBC 17. He was empirically given Vanc/Cefepime
along with solumedrol 125mg IV. After discussion with ICU team,
he was transferred to ___ for possible ECMO.
In the ED,
Initial Vitals: 96.6 96 117/68 32 100% Intubation

Imaging:
CT Chest
1. Confluent central worsen peripheral consolidation with
peripheral
ground-glass opacities in both lungs, which given the
distribution, which
could be seen in ARDS/pulmonary edema. In addition, there are
dense enhancing
consolidations in the dependent portions of the bilateral lower
lobes, likely
representing dependent atelectasis.
2. Small bilateral pleural effusions.
3. Small amount of pericholecystic fluid. The gallbladder is
otherwise
unremarkable. This is a nonspecific finding which could be
secondary to
increased volume status from IV hydration, given the appearance
of a distended
IVC.
CT neck:
1. No fracture or malalignment of the cervical spine.
2. Consolidation and ground-glass opacities in the partially
visualized upper
lungs. Given their distribution on same day chest radiograph,
these findings
likely are secondary to pulmonary edema.
CXR
Mixture of interstitial and alveolar opacities may be seen with
ARDS, however this has a rather atypical distribution.
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, or multifocal infection may have
a similar appearance.
Consults:
Post-arrest team: No evidence of STEMI, acute, or prior ischemia
on ECG. Bedside TTE with preserved biventricular function and no
pericardial effusion.
ECMO: Did not feel that ECMO was indicated given that patient
was
oxygenating well on veletri.
Interventions:
+ Epoprostenol
+ Fentanyl ggt
+ Propofol ggt
+ Midazolam ggt + boluses
VS Prior to Transfer: 93 111/69 36 100% Intubation

RUQ/US ___
1. No sonographic evidence of cirrhosis identified. No focal
liver lesions are identified.
2. No biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is moderately
distended and
contains sludge and tiny gallstones. Mild gallbladder wall
edema is likely related to third spacing.
3. Small bilateral pleural effusions.
4. Mild splenomegaly.

are consistent with the clinical diagnosis of ARDS. In the
absence cardiac enlargement, the possibility of noncardiogenic
pulmonary edema would have to be considered.
EKG ___: Sinus tachycardia
CT C/A/P w/ contrast ___: IMPRESSION: 1. There are
infectious/inflammatory appearing consolidations, confluent
centrally, with an anterior-posterior gradient. There may be an
element of edema given septal thickening. Differential also
includes hemorrhage. Small bilateral pleural effusions. 2. Small
amount of pericholecystic fluid, favored to be secondary to
fluid resuscitation.
CT c-spine w/o contrast ___: IMPRESSION: 1. No fracture or
malalignment of the cervical spine. 2. There are
infective/inflammatory appearing consolidations. There may be an
element of edema given smooth interlobular septal thickening.
Differential also includes hemorrhage.
CT head w/o contrast ___: IMPRESSION: 1. No acute
intracranial abnormality. 2. Partial opacification of the
paranasal sinuses, likely related to intubation
CXR ___: IMPRESSION: Mixture of interstitial and alveolar
opacities may be seen with ARDS, however this has a rather
atypical distribution. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, or
multifocal infection may have a similar appearance.

Patient developed ARDS after heroin overdose, likely in the
setting of aspiration vs. inhalation injury given bilateral
consolidation on CXR. Initially with worsening oxygenation after
intubation. He was initially on Veletri and was transferred for
ECMO consideration. He was also paralyzed and sedated with
midazolam and hydromorphone (fentanyl did not sedate him
adequately). Veletri and paralysis were successfully weaned and
he did not require ECMO. He was given IV diuresis to minimize
pulmonary edema and treated for aspiration pneumonia. He was
extubated on ___. Given vancomcyin, cefepime, and
azithromycin, narrowed to cefazolin when sputum culture grew
MSSA. He was transitioned to cefpodoxime to complete a 14 day
course which will finish on ___.

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH PERFORMED ON ___
COMPARISON: Chest CT from ___ and chest radiograph from ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: Weakness.
FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest provided. Midline sternotomy
wires and mediastinal clips are again noted as well as a prosthetic cardiac
valve. As seen previously, there is an area of scarring and loculated
effusion obscuring the right lung base which is stable from multiple prior
exams. The left lung is clear. Heart is top normal in size. No
pneumothorax. Bony structures are intact.
IMPRESSION: Stable opacity and effusion at the right lung base which has been
previously seen and agree with recommendation on prior CT for pleural fluid
analysis if not already performed.

failure, fatigue and malaise presenting with fatigue and
hypotension.
ACTIVE DIAGNOSES
# HFPEF: No evidence of end organ hypoperfusion. Hypotention
likely ___ to exacerbation of known right sided heart failure
from MV stenosis. Initially we held pts lisinopril and BB, as pt
was hypotensive, and pt was given IVF in the ED. Pts SBP
improved. Pt was then diuresed with lasix drip, with decrease in
peripheral edema and subsequent improvement in symptoms. Pt was
restarted on BB at the time of discharge, but lisinopril was
held due to increasing Cr. Pt was restarted on decreased dose of
torsemide at time of dicharge as well.
# Mitral valve stenosis: Most likely cause of her chronic and
severe fatigue and dyspnea. Prior imaging demonstrates
significant residual stenosis of the bioprosthetic mitral valve,
which was again noted on repeat TTE while pt was in the
hospital. Dr. ___ t/b with the pt as an outpt to discuss
MVR.
# ___: Baseline creatinine low 1.0's however in last 2 mo
creatinine >1.5 on three readings. Concern for preprenal
azotemia because of decrease in forward flow from right sided
heart failure. Urine lytes were not checked in the ED and there
was low utility of checkig once pt arrived to CCU, since she had
received IVF. Plan to avoid nephrotoxic agents and stop
lisinopril with outpt monitoring of Cr.
CHRONIC DIAGNOSES
# Lupus: Stable.
# Gout: Stable, but allopurinol redosed for current renal
clearance: 150 mg PO QD.
# OSA: Stable.
# HTN: Stable.

___ MRI CERVICAL/THORACIC
IMPRESSION:
1. Multiple osseous lesions throughout the spine and involving
the posterior twelfth ribs, consistent with metastatic disease.
2. Pathologic burst fracture of the C7 vertebral body with
associated 50% loss of height and 2 mm retropulsion of bony
fragments resulting in mild canal narrowing with flattening of
the anterior cord and possible mild increased T2/STIR cord
signal. There is disruption of the anterior longitudinal
ligament at the C7 level.
3. Pathologic burst fracture of the L1 vertebral body with
approximately 60% loss of central height and retropulsion of
bony fragments up to 7 mm resulting in moderate canal narrowing
and compression of the anterior thecal sac. The conus
medullaris terminates just above this level and there is no
abnormal cord signal. There is destruction of the anterior
longitudinal ligament at this level.
4. Acute superior endplate of the L2 vertebral body, with
suspected underlying metastatic lesion.
5. Acute to subacute nondisplaced fracture of the inferior
anterior endplate of the T7 vertebral body without loss of
height. No extension to the posterior vertebral body or
retropulsion of bony fragments.
6. Kyphoplasty changes at T8, T9 and T10.
7. Additional degenerative changes as described.
HAND (PA,LAT & OBLIQUE) LEFTStudy Date of ___ 11:51 AM
IMPRESSION:
No previous images. No evidence of acute fracture or
dislocation. There are moderate degenerative changes involving
the first CMC joint and triscaphe joint. Relatively mild
degenerative changes are seen in the interphalangeal joints. On
one view, there is widening of the scapholunate interval,
raising the possibility of ligamentous disruption.
FOOT AP,LAT & OBL LEFTStudy Date of ___ 11:51 AM
IMPRESSION:
No previous images. Significant hammertoes make it extremely
difficult to
evaluate this region for possible fracture. The
metatarsophalangeal joints
are very difficult to assess due to flexion. On one view there
is suggested
erosions on the medial aspect of the base of the proximal
phalanx and head of the first metatarsal. There is also soft
tissue prominence, raising the
possibility of underlying gout.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI CERVICAL, THORACIC, AND LUMBAR PT22 MR SPINE.
INDICATION: History: ___ with multiple vertebral fractures on CT s/p fall IV
contrast to be given at radiologist discretion as clinically needed// eval
fractures, cord.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique.
Axial T2 imaging was performed. Axial GRE images of the cervical spine were
performed. After the uneventful administration of 10 mL of Gadavist contrast
agent, additional axial and sagittal T1 images were obtained.
COMPARISON: CT cervical spine on ___, CT abdomen and pelvis on
___.
FINDINGS:
CERVICAL:
There is diffuse loss of normal T1 signal at C7 with an enhancing lesion in
the posterior C7 vertebral body. Again seen is an acute burst fracture of the
C7 vertebral body with approximately 50% loss of height and 2 mm retropulsion
of posterior fracture fragments. There is mild canal narrowing with
flattening of the anterior cord and possible mild increased cord STIR signal
at the level of the C6-C7 intervertebral disc (11:24). There is edema in the
C7 vertebral body and mild prevertebral soft tissue edema. There is
disruption of the anterior longitudinal ligament at the level of C7 (05:10).
The posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum appear intact.
There is an additional 11 mm enhancing lesion in the right anterior C6
vertebral body (15:8).
There are multilevel degenerative changes throughout the remainder of the
cervical spine including loss of intervertebral disc height and signal,
posterior disc bulges, facet arthropathy and uncovertebral hypertrophy,
resulting in up to mild canal narrowing at C5-C6 and moderate neural foraminal
narrowing, worst on the left at C3-C4 and C4-C5.
THORACIC:
There are multiple focal enhancing lesions throughout the thoracic spine,
including in the T2 T5, T6 vertebral bodies (15:9, 11). There is diffuse loss
of normal T1 marrow signal in the T11 and T12 vertebral bodies, including
multiple focal enhancing lesions in those vertebral bodies (16:11, 14).
Abnormal loss of T1 signal extends into the bilateral T12 posterior ribs, more
prominent on the left (10:16). These findings are consistent with metastatic
disease.
There is a fracture line through the anterior inferior endplate of the T7
vertebral body with edema in the fracture line, without edema in the
surrounding vertebral body marrow, compatible with an acute to subacute
fracture without loss of height (06:12). There is no extension of the fracture
line to the posterior vertebral body or retropulsion of bony fragments.
Patient is status post kyphoplasty at T8, T9 and T10 with loss of height and
associated thoracic kyphosis centered at those levels. The loss of height is
worse at T9 where there is retropulsion of bony fragments by approximately 5
cm into the spinal canal resulting in mild-to-moderate narrowing without
abnormal cord signal. There are otherwise multilevel degenerative changes
throughout the thoracic spine without severe spinal canal or neural foraminal
narrowing.
LUMBAR:
There is loss of normal T1 signal in the L1 vertebral body which has a mottled
appearance on postcontrast. Again seen is an acute burst fracture of the L1
vertebral body with approximately 60% loss of central height and retropulsion
of bony fragments up to 7 mm resulting up to moderate canal narrowing with
compression of the anterior thecal sac. The conus medullaris terminates just
above this level, and there is no evidence of abnormal cord signal. The
anterior longitudinal ligament appears disrupted at the L1 level (09:13). The
posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum appear intact.
Additionally, there is an acute compression fracture of the adjacent superior
endplate of L2. There is low T1 signal in the anterior superior L2 vertebral
body with increased enhancement, which may be due to the fracture, however an
underlying lesion is suspected.
There is a T1 hypointense lesion in the anterior L3 vertebral body which
correlates with a sclerotic lesions seen on CT (10:16). There are lesions in
the L2, L4 and L5 vertebral bodies (16:16).
There are multilevel degenerative changes throughout the lumbar spine
including loss of normal T2 disc signal, posterior disc bulges, and facet
arthropathy, resulting in up to mild spinal canal narrowing at L2-L3 and
L4-L5, and moderate neural foraminal narrowing on the right at L1-L2, and
moderate neural foraminal narrowing on the left at L4-L5.
OTHER: There is diffuse fatty atrophy of the left iliopsoas muscle compared
with the right, and edema in left psoas muscle at the level of the L1 burst
fracture. There is a partially visualized cystic lesion adjacent to the right
shoulder, which contained calcification on prior CT, likely due to a distended
bursa with calcific bursitis (11:32). Like there are trace bilateral pleural
effusions.
IMPRESSION:
1. Multiple osseous lesions throughout the spine and involving the posterior
twelfth ribs, consistent with metastatic disease.
2. Pathologic burst fracture of the C7 vertebral body with associated 50% loss
of height and 2 mm retropulsion of bony fragments resulting in mild canal
narrowing with flattening of the anterior cord and possible mild increased
T2/STIR cord signal. There is disruption of the anterior longitudinal
ligament at the C7 level.
3. Pathologic burst fracture of the L1 vertebral body with approximately 60%
loss of central height and retropulsion of bony fragments up to 7 mm resulting
in moderate canal narrowing and compression of the anterior thecal sac. The
conus medullaris terminates just above this level and there is no abnormal
cord signal. There is destruction of the anterior longitudinal ligament at
this level.
4. Acute superior endplate of the L2 vertebral body, with suspected underlying
metastatic lesion.
5. Acute to subacute nondisplaced fracture of the inferior anterior endplate
of the T7 vertebral body without loss of height. No extension to the
posterior vertebral body or retropulsion of bony fragments.
6. Kyphoplasty changes at T8, T9 and T10.
7. Additional degenerative changes as described.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Mr. ___ is a ___ year old man who presented to the ED with
symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, and emesis on ___
just prior to his scheduled exploratory laparoscopy and
portacath placement for his recently diagnosed pancreatic mass.
On the day prior he had undergone a cholangiogram and upsizing
of his PTBD from an ___ to a ___ catheter, and while he did
complain of one episode of dizziness and emesis the evening
prior to his ___ procedure and an episode of dizziness in the car
on his way to the procedure, he was doing well after his drain
upsizing and both he and his family felt comfortable going home,
so he was sent home with instructions to call Dr. ___
return to the ED if he had a return of his symptoms. In the ED
he was afebrile but hypotensive to 89/61 with dizziness, and his
labs were remarkable for a leukocytosis (WBC 15.6) with acute
renal failure (creatinine 2.1 and K 6.2) and hyperbilirubinemia
(total bilirubin 8.2). The decision was
made to cancel his surgery and admit him for IV antibiotics and
IV fluid rescusitation. He was immediately given one amp of D50
and 8 units of IV insulin, and an EKG was performed that did not
show any T wave changes. He was placed on Unasyn. On HD 2 he
remained afebrile, his blood pressure was normalized and he had
not experiened any additional dizziness or emesis, and his labs
were improved with a WBC 8.7, creatinine 1.3, K 4.4, and total
bilirubin 6.6. He underwent an EUS with biopsy and placement of
fiducials, with the EUS showing a 3.48 cm X 2.51 cm hypoechoic,
heterogenous ill-defined mass in the head of the pancreas with
findings suspicious for invasion of the portal vein. Following
this procedure, he was given a regular diet and his IV fluids
were discontinued. He tolerated his diet well, and on HD 3 his
labs continued to show improvement with WBC 7.4, creatinine 1.1,
K 4.5, and total bilirubin 5.7. He was feeling well without any
symptoms of lightheadedness or dizziness and had no nausea or
emesis. His biliary drainage catheter was working well with
bilious fluid in the gravity bag, and he was making adequate
urine. At this point, Mr. ___ was deemed stable for discharge
home with services and a 7 day course of PO augmentin. He was
still in need of a biliary stent for his common bile duct
stenosis, and Interventional Radiology was contacted and made
plans to call the patient the following week with an appointment
time to come in for his biliary stenting procedure. Mr ___ was
given instructions to await a call from Interventional Radiology
regarding his stenting procedure, but that if he did not hear
from them by ___ to call Dr. ___. He
was instructed to also call Dr. ___ office to make an
appointment for ___ weeks from the day of discharge, and to call
his medical oncologist this coming week to schedule an
appointment as well. He was also instructed to call Dr. ___

FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 41.4 min, 272 mGy
PROCEDURE:
1. Right common femoral artery access.
2. Right internal iliac artery angiogram
3. Selective catheterization of a left superior gluteal branch
4. Left superior gluteal branch Gel-Foam embolization
5. Left internal iliac artery posterior division angiogram
6. Left internal iliac artery posterior division Gel-Foam embolization

10. Aortogram
11. Left L5 lumbar artery angiogram.
12. Left L5 Gel-Foam embolization
13. Right common femoral artery angiogram.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
health care proxy. 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 right was 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.
An Omni flush catheter was advanced over the ___ wire into the aorta. A
glidewire was advanced into the left external iliac artery and a pudendal
catheter was formed. A left internal iliac artery angiogram was performed.
After reviewing the results, the catheter was selectively advanced into the
posterior division of the left internal iliac artery. Next, a renegade ___
microcatheter and double angled glidewire were selectively advanced into the
superior gluteal artery and a superior branch of the left superior gluteal
artery. Selective angiography was performed. The superior branch of the left
superior gluteal artery was embolized with Gel-Foam. Additional Gel-Foam
embolization was performed of the posterior division of the left internal
iliac artery. Non-selective left internal iliac artery angiography was
performed. This angiogram showed arterial abnormality arising from a muscular
branch of the left internal iliac artery.
Multiple attempts were necessary in order to cannulate the muscular branch of
the left internal iliac artery. Ultimately, a swan-neck microcatheter was
selectively used to cannulate the branch. After selective angiography,
Gel-Foam and 2 mm x 1 cm Hilal coil embolization was performed. A repeat left
internal iliac artery angiogram was performed. The pudendal catheter was
exchanged for an Omni flush catheter. An aortogram was obtained. After
reviewing the images, a decision was made to catheterize and selectively
embolize the left L5 lumbar artery. A Mikaelsson catheter was formed over the
aortic bifurcation and used to select the left L5 lumbar artery. A
microcatheter was advanced into the vessel an Gel-Foam embolization was
performed to stasis. Wires and catheters were removed.
A common femoral arteriogram was performed prior to use of a closure device.
An Angioseal closure device was deployed and manual pressure was held until
hemostasis was achieved. The patient tolerated the procedure well. The
patient was initially hypotensive in the emergency room with systolic blood
pressures in the ___. At the termination of the procedure, the patient was
hypertensive with systolic blood pressures in the 180s, requiring labetalol
for blood pressure control. After transferring the patient to his bed, he
experienced a brief episode of self-limited tachycardia and asymptomatic
hypoxia to the ___. He denied any new chest pain. The patient was
transferred to the trauma intensive care unit in stable condition.

EXAMINATION: MRI CERVICAL AND THORACIC
INDICATION: ___ year old man with c2 t5 fracture ? disruption of posterior
element disruption // ? ligament injury, spinal cord impingement
TECHNIQUE: Following T2 scout images of the cervical and thoracic spine,
sagittal T2, STIR and T1 sequences of the cervical spine obtained. The T1 and
STIR sequences are motion degraded. The examination was terminated early as
the patient's blood pressure declined. No additional images obtained.
COMPARISON: CT cervical spine without contrast of ___, CT torso
without contrast of ___.
FINDINGS:
Examination is motion degraded. In addition, only sagittal sequences of the
cervical spine obtained as described in the technique section. Within these
confines:
2 mm anterolisthesis of C2 on C3, 2 mm retrolisthesis of C3 on C4, C4 on C5
and 2 mm anterolisthesis of C7 on T1 is likely degenerative in nature.
Re-identified are C2 fractures. STIR hyperintense marrow signal of the T1 and
T3 superior endplates are compatible with additional fractures.
The visualized posterior fossa is grossly unremarkable. There is no
definitive cord signal abnormality.
There is minimal and equivocal prevertebral STIR hyperintense signal, spanning
C2 through C4 which may represent a small hematoma secondary to the C2
fracture versus incomplete fat suppression. Diffuse STIR hyperintense signal
of the paraspinal muscles is also noted. STIR hyperintense signal of the
posterior atlanto occipital membrane and atlantoaxial membrane are identified.
There is no gross evidence for epidural hematoma. There is no definitive
evidence for anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament
or ligamentum flavum injury.
Disc osteophyte complexes and thickening of the ligamentum flavum results in
moderate to severe spinal canal narrowing spanning C3-C4 through C6-C7, mildly
remodeling the ventral aspect of the cord without underlying cord signal
change.
IMPRESSION:
1. Only sagittal cervical spine images obtained. Examination is motion
degraded. Within these confines:
2. STIR hyperintense marrow signal of the T1 and T3 superior endplates
compatible with acute fractures, not visualized on prior CT examinations.
3. Re identification of known C2 fractures with very minimal prevertebral STIR
hyperintense signal likely representing a small hematoma or edema.
4. No evidence for epidural hematoma or cord signal abnormality.
5. No definitive ligamentous injury of the anterior longitudinal ligament,
posterior longitudinal ligament or ligamentum flavum.
6. STIR hyperintense signal of the paraspinal muscles and interspinous
ligaments, compatible with injury.
7. Mild anterolisthesis of C2 on C3 and C7 on T1 with retrolisthesis of C3 on
C4 and C4 on C5, which is almost certainly degenerative in nature given the
lack of definitive ligamentous injury.

TECHNIQUE: Cystourethrogram
DOSE: Acc air kerma: 53 mGy; Accum DAP: 875.7 uGym2; Fluoro time: 01:36
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Initial AP scout images prior to administration of contrast show a Foley
catheter within the bladder.
Initial attempts at inserting a 5 ___ catheter parallel to the Foley
catheter were made in order to assess the urethra however the approach was
unsuccessful due to leakage of contrast along the catheter.
Subsequently, intermittent fluoroscopy was performed while approximately 250cc
of Cysto-Conray water soluble contrast was instilled through the patient's
Foley catheter into the bladder. With a distended bladder, imaging was
performed in the AP projection. The balloon of the Foley catheter was
deflated allowing contrast to flow into the urethra. After imaging the
urethra with contrast, the balloon was again inflated. The patient's catheter
was then reconnected to the urinary bag, and the patient was able to empty the
bladder through the catheter. Post-evacuation images were then obtained.
There is no evidence of contrast extravasation from the bladder or urethra. A
left bladder diverticulum is noted. Mild bilateral ureteral contrast reflux
was seen.

mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 866 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Chest: A moderate size nonhemorrhagic and layering left pleural effusion and
smaller nonhemorrhagic right pleural effusion are increased in size relative
to examination dated ___. A partially imaged right chest tube is
present within air within the right pleural space. Associated compressive
atelectasis is noted. Peribronchiolar opacity within the right lower lobe
with air bronchograms is identified for which infectious process is difficult
to exclude. Coronary artery calcifications are extensive involving the left
anterior descending coronary artery. Aortic valvular calcifications are
additionally noted. There is no pericardial effusion.
Abdomen: Evaluation is limited in the absence of intravenous contrast.
Allowing for this, the liver appears homogeneous in attenuation without a
focal lesion identified. There is no intrahepatic biliary duct dilation.
There is no radiopaque cholelithiasis. The pancreas, spleen, and bilateral
adrenal glands are normal in appearance.
The kidneys are without nephrolithiasis or hydronephrosis. No perinephric
fluid collection is identified.
An enteric tube terminates within the gastric lumen. Loops of small bowel are
without wall thickening or evidence of obstruction. Moderate amount of stool
is present within the colon. No evidence of obstruction. Trace interloop
intra-abdominal free fluid is noted as is diffuse anasarca.
The abdominal aorta demonstrates extensive atherosclerotic calcifications
without aneurysmal dilatation. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric
adenopathy.
A Foley is present within a decompressed bladder. There is no pelvic free
fluid. No pathologically enlarged inguinal or pelvic sidewall nodes are
present. Bilateral small hydroceles are noted.
Known pelvic fractures are again demonstrated. A screw transfixes a left
iliac comminuted fracture. No perihardware lucency is present. Numerous
displaced and comminuted left posterior rib fractures are again noted.
Relative to examination dated ___, previous hematoma within the
left iliacus and gluteus muscles is drastically decreased in size, nearly
resolved.
IMPRESSION:
1. Peribronchiolar opacity within the right lower lobe with air bronchograms
may reflect aspiration though infectious process is difficult to exclude.
2. Diffuse anasarca with bilateral layering and nonhemorrhagic pleural
effusions, left greater than right. Partially imaged right chest tube with
locules of air within the right pleural space.
3. No intra-abdominal or pelvic abscess or evidence of infectious process.
Stool fills the colon without evidence of obstruction.
4. Re- demonstration of pelvic fractures and multiple displaced rib
fractures. Near complete resolution of hematoma involving the left iliacus
and gluteus muscles.

History of Present Illness:
___ PMH of HIV/AIDS (self-discontinued salvage HAART ~4wks ago,
VL ___, CAD (s/p stenting), who
presented to ED w/ complaint of rapid heart rate, and cough, was
started on treatment for PNA then admitted to medicine for
further w/u and evaluation
Last seen in ___ clinic in ___, where he described symptoms
of pharyngitis, but was not given antibiotics. He was rec'd to
continue his HARRT regimen unchanged given optimal control of VL
recently. However, in the past several weeks, reported that he
ran out, called for refills, but "never heard back from
providers" so self discontinued all medications except
tamsulosin and seroquel.
Slightly before medication cessation occurred he reported
starting to feel "achy and tired" w/ general malaise. In the two
weeks prior to admission developed polyphagia/polyuria, but
denied vision changes. In the last week he then developed a non
productive cough described as "non-severe", occasionally
rhinorrhea, and infrequent epistaxis. On the night prior to
admission, was laying in bed, and felt his heart race, felt it
difficult to breathe, checked his O2 sat at home was 96%RA and
HR 150 so presented to ED for evaluation. On ROS denied fever,
chills, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, abd pain, dysuria, rash,
photo/phonophobia. He denied recent travel or change in his
living situation (lives in assisted living).
In the ED initial vitals were: 98.8 135 132/94 16 97% Nasal
Cannula and FSG of 435. Exam notable for rhonchi in left lung.
Labs significant for WBC of 5.2, Hgb 15, Plt 100, CHEM normal w/

0.1, Alb 4.1, coags wnl. UA w/ Tr bld, Tr protein and 1000Glc.
Flu Swab negative. CXR showed no acute intrathoracic process.
He was presumed to have viral respiratory illness given cough,
relatively benign CXR, and mild transaminitis but was given
Levaquin to cover PNA as well. Pt was given 3L NS and HR
decreased from 135 to 97. FSG decreased from 500 to 268 by time
of transfer to floor and was given 4U Regular insulin prior to
transfer. Repeat lactate following fluids was 2.4
Vitals prior to transfer were: 98.4 97 133/79 18 97% RA. On the
floor, pt noted that he feels that his breathing is better.

sCHF (EF 40%) who presented with tachycardia, polydipsia,
polyuria and weight gain, found to have diabetes mellitus and
non-specific complaints consistent with viral-type illness.
ACTIVE ISSUES
# VIRAL ILLNESS, NOS: ___ reports malaise, diffuse &
non-specific myalgias and arthralgias, with nasal congestion and
changes in his voice caliber and quality. He has remained
afebrile, without leukocytosis. The patient did present with
transaminitis, which could be consistent with CMV infection (or
EBV infection, though likely already IgG positive). CXR not
concerning. Conservative management for his viral-type symptoms.
CMV serology showed undetecetable viral load. EBV serology
showed positive IgG.
# TRANSAMINITIS: Found to be elevated on admission. The patient
is without any stigmata of cirrhosis. As above, may be related
to viral syndrome. HAV and HBV immune. LFTs trended up during
admission. HAV and HBV documented immune. HCV Ab negative this
admission. CMV and EBV serology as above. The patient has a
history of hepatosteatosis, and does not report recent EtOH or
APAP use/abuse. RUQ ultrasound demonstrated coarse, hyperechoic
hepatic parenchyma compatible with known diagnosis of steatosis.
Coarsened and heterogeneous appearance may be suggestive of
cirrhosis though not diagnostic and splenomegaly. No clear cause
of transaminitis was identified, however at the time of
discharge, had been trending down (see above in # PERTINENT
RESULTS).
# HIV: ___ stopped his ARV regimen ___ weeks ago secondary to
issues with prescription refills. His last VL was UD and CD4+
was 430 in ___. He has no history of OIs. While in house, HIV
VL checked and found to be 75 copies/mL. Virtual phenotype and
integrase inhibitor resistance panel sent while in house:
results pending on discharge. ARV regimen restarted.
# DIABETES MELLITUS: FSG under good control with SSI - FSG in
range of 130s-180s. ___ consulted yesterday: good control
with current SSI. SW saw patient for coping while in house. On
discharge, the patient was sent on a regimen of 2.5 mg glipizide
XR with planned follow up with ___
diabetic education.
CHRONIC, INACTIVE ISSUES.
# PSYCHIATRIC COMORBIDITIES: Currently euthymic, though having a
difficult time with his new diagnosis of diabetes, given his
poor support network. SW consult requested by the patient while
in house. Continued quetiapine, lorazepam.
# HTN: only on metoprolol as outpatient, normotensive on
admission. This AM, BP 152/92, but had not received metoprolol
yet. Continued home metoprolol.
# CAD + compensated sCHF: ___ has a history of CAD s/p stenting
w/ sCHF secondary to mild global hypokinesis (LVEF ~40%) on last
TTE from ___. He was hypovolemic on admission likely secondary
to volume loss from uncontrolled hyperglycemia. Tachycardia
resolved with fluids and restarting of beta-blockade. Patient
does report occasional orthopnea, however appears dry on exam.
Not decompensated. Continued home metoprolol.
# BPH: On tamsulosin at home, however, fosamprenavir decreases
clearance of tamsulosin and can lead to hypotension. The patient
has been taking these medications together without adverse
effect. Educated the patient on the risks of these medications
combined. As patient hasn't had symptoms of hypotension with
these medications combined, continue currently & monitor for
signs of interaction.

Uncomplicated fluoroscopic-guided lumbar puncture, yielding 15
cc
clear cerebrospinal fluid. The CSF samples were sent for labs
as requested.
___ Left Hip X-ray
There are extensive degenerative changes with no lytic or
sclerotic lesions, as well as no evidence of fracture
demonstrated. If the patient's symptoms persist, correlation
with cross-sectional imaging might be considered.
___ Renal Ultrasound
1. Vague hypoehoic lesion in the left lower pole of uncertain
etiology. The significance is uncertain and it is not clear
that this represents a true lesion, but an infectious etiology -
although not drainable fluid - is possible or small solid
nodule. Recommend MRI for further evaluation; if not feasible
repeat targeted ultrasound could be considered for follow-up.
2. Trace fluid amount of fluid surrounding left kidney,
non-specific.
3. Bilateral cysts. No hydronephrosis.
___ CXR
Possible early basilar pneumonia, visualized only on the lateral
radiograph.
___ TTE
The left atrium is normal in size. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. The estimated right atrial pressure
is at least 15 mmHg. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity
size and regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF
>55%). There is no ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular
chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve
leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). No masses or vegetations are
seen on the aortic valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to
suboptimal image quality. There is no aortic valve stenosis. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. No mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral
valve. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. No masses or vegetations
are seen on the tricuspid valve, but cannot be fully excluded
due to suboptimal image quality. There is mild pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, the
degree of MR and TR have slightly increased. Otherwise no clear
change.

___ Abdominal Ultrasound
Mild dilatation of the pancreatic duct in the body and neck.
This is of
uncertain clinical significance as no discrete lesion is
identified, but the duct is not seen in the head of the
pancreas. If clinically indicated ,this could be further
evaluated with endoscopic ultrasound given the patient's known
renal impairment.
The study is otherwise unremarkable.

Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Altered mental status, pain with movement of the left
leg, suspected fracture.
AP radiograph of the pelvis as well as two dedicated views of left hip were
reviewed.
There are extensive degenerative changes with no lytic or sclerotic lesions,
as well as no evidence of fracture demonstrated. If the patient's symptoms
persist, correlation with cross-sectional imaging might be considered.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Altered mental status and elevated white count, evaluate for
perinephric abscess.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS: The right kidney measures 9.5 cm. There is no hydronephrosis,
stone, or solid mass. There are small scattered cysts in the right kidney,
the largest measuring 1.3 cm. The left kidney measures 10.5 cm. There is no
evidence of hydronephrosis or stone. Small cysts are seen in the left kidney,
the largest measuring 1.4 cm. There is trace fluid surrounding in the left
lower pole of the left kidney. The bladder is well distended and has a
slightly thickened wall.
IMPRESSION:
1. Vague hypoehoic lesion in the left lower pole of uncertain etiology. The
significance is uncertain and it is not clear that this represents a true
lesion, but an infectious etiology - although not drainable fluid - is
possible or small solid nodule. Recommend MRI for further evaluation; if not
feasible repeat targeted ultrasound could be considered for follow-up.
2. Trace fluid amount of fluid surrounding left kidney, non-specific.
3. Bilateral cysts. No hydronephrosis.
Radiology Report
PA AND LATERAL CHEST, ___
COMPARISON: ___ radiograph.
FINDINGS: Permanent pacemaker is in standard position with leads in the right
atrium and right ventricle. The heart is mildly enlarged, but there is no
evidence of pulmonary edema. Nonspecific area of increased opacity overlies
the lower thoracic spine on the lateral view, and could potentially represent
an early focus of pneumonia. No pleural effusion.
IMPRESSION: Possible early basilar pneumonia, visualized only on the lateral
radiograph.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: In need of IV antibiotics.
OPERATORS: ___ (NP), and Dr ___ physician).
PROCEDURE AND FINDINGS: A pre-procedure timeout was performed per ___
protocol. Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the patent right
brachial vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a
micropuncture Hard copies of ultrasound images were obtained before and
immediately after establishing intravenous access . A guide wire was then
advanced to the IVC. The needle was exchanged for a peel-away sheath and,
after appropriate measurements, a single-lumen 4 ___ power PICC measuring
38 cm in length was placed through the peel-away sheath with tip positioned in
the SVC under fluoroscopic guidance. The peel-away sheath and guide wire were
removed. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a fluoroscopic spot film
of the chest.
The catheter was secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate
complications.
IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided 4 ___
single-lumen PICC line placement via the right brachial venous approach.
Final length is 38 cm internally, with the tip positioned in distal SVC. The
line is ready to use.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with fever and leukocytosis and acute kidney
injury.
COMPARISON: Renal ultrasound ___.
FINDINGS:
The gallbladder is normal in size and appearance with no stones, sludge or
wall thickening. The common hepatic duct measures 4 mm in size and there is
no intrahepatic ductal dilatation. The liver is normal in size and
echogenicity with no focal abnormalities seen. The portal vein is patent with
normal hepatopetal flow. There is no evidence of splenomegaly or ascites.
The head and body of the pancreas are normal in appearance but the tail is
obscured by bowel gas. There is slight prominence of the pancreatic duct
measuring 3 mm in AP diameter in the body of the pancreas, widening to 5 mm in
the neck. The duct is not seen in the head of pancreas.
Views of the proximal and mid aorta and inferior vena cava are normal, but the
distal retroperitoneum is obscured by bowel gas. Both kidneys are normal in
size and appearance measuring 9.8 cm in length on the right and 10.5 cm on the
left. The area in question in the left lower pole on the prior scan was
carefully rescanned and shows no evidence of mass or fluid collection. The
pyramid in the lower pole is slightly prominent, but no discrete lesion is
identified.
IMPRESSION:
Mild dilatation of the pancreatic duct in the body and neck. This is of
uncertain clinical significance as no discrete lesion is identified, but the
duct is not seen in the head of the pancreas. If clinically indicated ,this
could be further evaluated with endoscopic ultrasound given the patient's
known renal impairment.
The study is otherwise unremarkable.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ woman with unexplained fevers and leukocytosis as well
as right lower quadrant pain.
COMPARISON: Liver gallbladder ultrasound from ___.
TECHNIQUE: CT of the torso was performed without IV contrast. IV contrast
was withheld due to patient's acute kidney injury. Coronal and sagittal
reformats were reviewed.
FINDINGS:
CHEST: Scatted axillary lymph nodes, the largest measuring up to 1.0 cm in the
right axilla (3:13) and 1.2 cm in the left axilla (3:14) are present. No
mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy is identified on this non-contrast scan.
The heart is mildly enlarged and there is a dual-lead pacemaker with leads
terminating in the right antrum and right ventricle. There is diffuse
atherosclerotic disease of the aortic arch but no evidence of aneurysmal
dilatation. A right-sided central catheter terminates in the mid SVC.
Atherosclerotic calcifications are also noted at the LAD as well as the left
circumflex. There is no pericardial effusion.
No focal opacities are present within the lung parenchyma concerning for an
infectious process. There is a small right pleural effusion. There is also
minimal dependent atelectasis. Respiratory motion limits the evaluation for
small parenchymal nodules.
ABDOMEN: Non-contrast appearance of the liver and spleen is unremarkable.
Gallbladder is unremarkable. Pancreas and bilateral adrenals appear normal.
A sub-1-cm hypodensity in the lower pole of the left kidney is not
characterized on this non-contrast study. The right kidney parancyma appears
grossly unremarkable; however around bilateral kidneys there is slight
stranding which can be seen in pyelonephritis.
The abdominal aorta demonstrates atherosclerotic calcifications of the ostia
of the SMA as well as the renal arteries but no evidence of aneurysmal
dilatation. Contrast is noted to be opacifying the colon; however, no
contrast is seen in the small bowel which makes evaluation of the loops
somewhat difficult; however, no gross abnormalities are demonstrated. The
large bowel appears relatively unremarkable throughout its course. The
appendix is visualized in the right lower quadrant as unremarkable.
There is subcutaneous stranding along the right abdominal wall, perhaps
relating to the patient's pain. No focal fluid collections are present in
this area.
PELVIS: There is no pelvic free fluid. There is no abdominal or pelvic
lymphadenopathy. The uterus appears unremarkable. Bladder is distended with
a small amount of air anteriorly. The rectum is normal. No pelvic masses or
inguinal hernias.
BONES: No aggressive osseous lesions are demonstrated. No acute fractures
are visualized. Degenerative changes of the thoracic spine are present.
IMPRESSION:
1. Slight perirenal stranding bilaterally, perhaps related to pyelonephritis.
Please correlate with urine analysis.
2. Small foci of air within the bladder; please correlate with recent
instrumentation.
3. Asymetric "stranding" along the subcutaneous tissue on the right abdominal
wall perhaps relating to the patient's pain. Clinical correlation to recent
fall for the possibility of a hematoma is recommended.
4. Mild non specific axillary lymphadenopathy up to 1.2 cm in the left
axilla. This can be followed with a repeat chest CT in 6 months.
5. Small right pleural effusion.
6. Hypodense lesion in the left lower pole is again present. It is not fully
characterized on this non-contrast CT and as was recommended on ___,
MRI can be obtained for further evaluation. If not feasible, a repeat
targeted ultrasound could be considered for followup.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: History of congestive heart failure and probable NSTEMI.
COMPARISONS: Chest radiograph from ___.
TECHNIQUE: A single frontal semi-upright view of the chest was obtained.
FINDINGS: Since the prior exam, a new dual-lead pacemaker has been placed.
The wires appear to be in appropriate position within the right atrium and
right ventricle. Since the prior exam, there has been interval increase in
mild vascular congestion. There is no overt pulmonary edema. There is no
focal airspace consolidation, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. The
mediastinal contours are normal. The heart size is at the upper limits of
normal, although slightly bigger in comparison to the last exam.
IMPRESSION:
1. Mild vascular congestion.
2. Interval increase in the heart size, which remains at the upper limits of
normal.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Fever and leukocytosis. Altered mental status.
PROCEDURE: Fluoroscopic-guided lumbar puncture.
PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___ (Attending), Dr. ___ (Neuroradiology
fellow), ___ (Nurse Practitioner).
ANESTHESIA: Local anesthesia with 1% lidocaine. 1 mg of IV versed.
PROCEDURE/FINDINGS: Prior to the procedure, written informed consent was
obtained over the phone from patient's healthcare proxy, Ms. ___
after explaining indications, risks, benefits and alternatives.
Upon arrival in the fluoroscopy suite, a 'time-out' was performed using
standard ___ protocol. The patient was placed prone in on the fluoroscopy
table and the lower back was prepped and draped in the typical sterile
fashion. Local anesthesia was obtained using 1% lidocaine.
A 20-gauge spinal needle was inserted at the level of L3-4 into the spinal
canal under fluoroscopic guidance. A total of 15 cc clear cerebrospinal fluid
was collected. Spot images were saved. The stylet was then placed back to
the spinal needle, and the spinal needle was removed. Excellent hemostasis
was achieved and the patient was transferred from the fluoroscopy suite in
stable condition.
IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated fluoroscopic-guided lumbar puncture, yielding 15 cc
clear cerebrospinal fluid. The CSF samples were sent for labs as requested.

level of pain: 13
level of acuity: 2.0 | Ms. ___ is a ___ ___ speaking woman
with a history of DM II, CVA, cognitive impairment, atrial
fibrillation, and recent NSTEMI who initially presented to an
OSH (___) s/p fall and was found to have elevated troponin,
non-elevated CK-MB, and fever/leukocytosis. She was transferred
to ___ for management of NSTEMI. Her initial exam was
concerning for meningitis, but LP was negative.
ACTIVE ISSUES
1. Fever/Leukocytosis: Patient's WBC was markedly elevated to 24
upon transfer, from a baseline of 7 on ___. Given nuchal
rigidity, photophobia, and AMS on initial exam, patient's
symptoms were initially concerning for meningitis and she was
covered empirically with vancomycin, cepefime, Bactrim (for
Listeria, given PCN allergy), and acyclovir. Her heparin gtt was
held for 6 hours and she underwent ___ LP, showing just 1
WBC. Bactrim was therefore discontinued. Acyclovir was
discontinued after 48 hours. Patient was continued on vancomycin
and cefepime with improvement in her leukocytosis and in her
fever curve. Blood cultures from ___ grew coag
negative staph in 1 bottle, which was thought to be a
contaminent. The etiology of her infection remained unclear;
differential included pneumonia (though lung exam remained
unremarkable), C. dif (though no diarrhea developed), and pyelo
(given LL pole lesion on renal u/s, though UA's were
unconvincing). Patient underwent abdominal ultrasound, which
showed mild dilation of pancreatic duct but no clear infectious
source. She was followed by the ID service. Sputum cultures were
unrevealing. Antibiotics were stopped on ___ and patient
remained afebrile and without leukocytosis.
2. LFT Abnormalities: Patient had elevated LDH and
transaminases. Transaminases initially improved, then trended up
again to 100's. This may have been due to a drug reaction, given
exposure to multiple antibiotics including Bactrim early in
hospitalization. CK was initially high but trended down.
Lymphoproliferative disorder was also considered, especially
given axillary LAD seen on CT scan, but patient had no clear
evidence of malignancy.
2. AMS: Patient was altered upon presentation, A+O x 1 from a
baseline of A+O x 2. Although there was initially concern for
meningitis as above, her LP was negative. Her AMS was likely due
to delerium in the setting of infection, as mental status
rapidly improved to baseline with antibiotics. Seizure was
considered given patient's history of seizure, but it was felt
to be less likely given patient has been adherent to Keppra.
3. Troponin Elevation: Patient presented with troponin elevation
and EKG changes initially concerning for NSTEMI. However, normal
MB and rise in LDH suggested possibility of non-cardiac source,
and these changes were most likely due to demand in the setting
of severe infection. She was started on Plavix and a heparin
gtt, which were both stopped as ACS became less likely. Giving
climbing CK, atorvastatin 80 mg daily (started at outside
hospital) was discontinued. CK downtrended. In order to simplify
nodal blockade and because of renal failure, patient was
transitioned from atenolol and diltiazem to metoprolol. She was
continued on ___ 325 mg daily (high dose for a. fib).
4. Acute Kidney Injury: Patient's admission Cr was 2.2 from a
baseline of 0.9. This was likely due to prerenal physiology in
the setting of infection, which was supported by FeNa of 0.5%.
Repeat uring 'lytes on ___ show no EOS, and FeNa had increased
to 1.43%, suggesting an intrinsic renal process such as ATN.
Patient received IV fluids and creatinine improved.
5. Atrial Fibrillation: Patient has a CHADS2 score of 6. She is
on ___ 325mg daily but not systemically anticoagulated (per
___ notes, this is due to history of ICA aneurysm and high
fall risk). Her predominant rhythm was a. fib, though she was
intermittently in sinus. Her nodal blocade was changed from
atenolol to metoprolol in the setting of renal failure and
diltiazem was discontinued. As an outpatient, may consider
risk/benefit of systemic anticoagulation.
6. Chronic Diastolic CHF: EF 57%. Patient was hypovolemic in the
setting of infection. She received IVF. Home lasix was held due
to ___.
7. Failed Speech & Swallow: Patient had a speech and swallow
evaluation and was advised to be a strict NPO. This was
discussed extensively with patient and family, who reported her
swallowing deficits are from a prior stroke and unchanged from
recent baseline. The risk of aspiratory pneumonia was discussed
extensively with patient and family, who preferred for patient
to continue to eat for comfort.
8. HTN: In final days of hospitalization, patient was
increasingly hypertensive. Amlodipine was added to her regimen
with good effect.
CHRONIC ISSUES
1. DM II: Last A1C was 6.5% in ___. Patient's metformin was
held and she received ISS.
2. HLD: Last LDL 140 in ___. Patient was initially started on
high-dose atorvastatin for NSTEMI, which was then stopped given
no evidence of cardiac event, elevated CK and transaminases.
3. Epilepsy: Patient has a history of seizure and takes
levetiracetam. Her dose was reduced from 1000 mg BID to ___ mg
BID because of ___. She resumed her home dose on day of
discharge.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
- Trend Cr for stability and LFT's for resolution of elevation
- Needs dental follow-up as outpt to complete infectious work-up
- Recheck cholesterol panel as outpatient and consider need for
statin if CK and transaminase return to normal levels
- Consider risk/benefit of systemic anticoagulation with
Coumadin
- MRI vs targed ultrasound to evaluate hypodense lesion seen on
CT and ultrasound
- Repeat CT scan of chest in 6 months to monitor non-specific
axillary lymphadenopathy
- consider repeat RUQ US vs ERCP to re-assess and further
work-up mildly dilated pancreatic duct seen on RUQ US
- Pending studies at discharge

level of acuity: 2.0 | Assessment and Plan: ___ year old male hx type 1 DM , ESRD on
HD, HTN, HPL, admitted with hyperglycemia and jejunitis
# Abdominal Pain: he had one week of progressive abdominal pain
and vomitting and new onset diarreha in ED, with evidence of
jejunitis on CT of admission. Differential included viral vs
bacterial eneteritis. Gastroenterologists consulted and ___
cultures were sent. His abdominal pain improved during his stay,
but intermittently painful requiring opiates. He remained
afebrile with a normal WBC count. Given continued pain,
enteroscopy was done which showed inflammation, and biopsies
were sent, still pending. Given his duodenal ulcer history in
___, he was kept on a PPI and sucralfate. H pylori antibodies
were negative. Stool cultures before discharge were positive
for c. difficile and he was started on metronidazole. We
ultimately felt that his abdominal pain was likely due to
jejunitis. There was also concern that it may be from his PD
catheter, but it improved over the course of his hospital stay.
# Acidosis: admitted with mild acidosis concerning for diabetic
ketoacidosis, but he didn't have an anion gap or urine ketone.
His end-stage renal disease likely contributed to acidosis as
well as his diarrhea and emesis. Sugar levels were quickly
normalized with insulin drip.
# Type 1 DM ( A1c 8% in ___: he reported several
critically high levels of blood sugars on the day of admission,
with non-anion gap acidosis as above. It was likely precipitated
by his enertitis(see below). Hemodialysis and Peritoneal
dialysis lines looked good. Lab values did not suggest
hepatobiliary source, and chest x-ray was clear. Compliance had
been an issue in the past, but he reported increased compliance
with medications with his visiting nurse. Original hyperglycemia
fixed with insulin drip and then the diabetes specialists
followed him for appropriate control. He remained
intermittently hyperglycemic, and required multiple adjustments
to his insulin sliding scale.
# HTN- The patient has a history of malignant hypertension,
followed by Dr. ___, but remained at his
baseline of 140-150's systolic. He was continued on his home
medications, except briefly lisinopril during the time that he
was hyperkalemic, but restarted after its resolution.
# Urinary Retention: His foley catheter was removed for 2 days,
but despite being on tamsulosin, he required straight caths and
a foley had to be replaced for outpatient urological follow up.
# Hyperkalemia- The patient was hyperkalemic on admission to 6.6
and agian to 7.2 on HD. EKG showed peaked T waves. He was
treated with 30mg Kayexlate an lisnopril was held as above
# ESRD- HD on ___ was continued.
# HPL- LDL 75 ___. Was not on medication.
# Anemia of chronic disease- there was no evidence of acute
bleeding. received EPO and Fe with HD, but hematocrit dropped to
___ range, where he has been before, and he required one unit

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA PANCREAS (ABDOMEN AND PELVIS)
INDICATION: ___ year old man with bile duct obstruction with pancreatic head
mass see on CT/US at ___ // evaluate pancreatic head mass
TECHNIQUE: Abdomen and pelvis CTA: Non-contrast and multiphasic post-contrast
images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis.
Oral contrast was not administered.
MIP reconstructions were performed on independent workstation and reviewed on
PACS.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 3.0 s, 33.6 cm; CTDIvol = 15.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 502.3
mGy-cm.

mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 1,357 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
VASCULAR:
There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. There is minimal calcium burden in the
abdominal aorta and great abdominal arteries. There is partially occlusive
thrombus in the proximal SMV (series 4, image 54).
LOWER CHEST: Minimal atelectasis is noted in the lung bases. There is no
pleural or pericardial effusion.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There
is no evidence of focal lesions. Extensive intrahepatic biliary ductal
dilatation involves all segments of the hepatic biliary tree. The CBD
measures up to 16 mm and narrows focally at the pancreatic head (series 6,
image 51). The gallbladder is significantly distended without gallbladder
wall thickening.
PANCREAS: There is moderate pancreatic ductal dilatation with a focal
narrowing in the pancreatic head (series 6, image 46). A discrete mass in the
pancreatic head is difficult to delineate. A 1.8 cm hypoattenuating lesion in
the uncinate process could represent the obstructing mass (series 4, image
59). Fat stranding which extends from the inferior aspect of the uncinate
process along the anterior portion of the duodenal sweep is also noted. More
focal hypodensities in the uncinate process and in the pancreatic tail
measuring up to 6 mm likely represent side branch IPMNs (series 6, image 59,
56).
SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without
evidence of focal lesions.
ADRENALS: The right adrenal gland is normal. There is diffuse thickening of
the left adrenal gland.
URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram.
There is no evidence of stones, or hydronephrosis. There are no urothelial
lesions in the kidneys or ureters. Hypodensities in the kidneys, bilaterally
are either too small to characterize or are consistent with simple renal
cysts. There is no perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: Small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness
and enhancement throughout. There is sigmoid diverticulosis. Otherwise, the
colon and rectum are within normal limits. Appendix contains air, has normal
caliber without evidence of fat stranding. There is no evidence of mesenteric
lymphadenopathy.
RETROPERITONEUM: Lymph nodes in the porta hepatis (series 4, image 36, 37)
measure up to 1.0 cm in short axis.
PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no
evidence of pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the
pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The prostate is enlarged and the seminal vesicles are
unremarkable.
BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture.
SOFT TISSUES: Bilateral fat containing inguinal hernias are noted.

REPORTS
==============
Hand XR ___
Pronounced periarticular osteopenia. Pronounced soft tissue
swelling about the wrist, second MCP and second PIP joints.
No definite erosion, though the IP joints are not well
visualized due to flexion positioning on all three views. No
periostitis identified.
The differential includes inflammatory and infectious
etiologies. Although soft tissue swelling is most pronounced
about the wrist and finger, the periarticular osteopenia extends
throughout the entire wrist and hand. However, no focal dominant
bony osteolysis or periostitis is identified to suggest focal
osteomyelitis. In the appropriate clinical setting, chronic
regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) can have a
somewhat similar appearance.
CT T-Spine ___. Mild compression superior T5, T6 endplates. There is mild
paravertebral edema at T4, T5 level, suggesting acute to
subacute component of fracture at T5.
2. Abnormal bilateral T4-T5 facet joints, may be degenerative,
consider infection if clinically suspected.
CT C-Spine ___. There is no fracture.
2. There are degenerative changes in the cervical spine.
3. Extensive periodontal disease, dental cavities, dental
consult recommended.
L Wrist XR ___
Stable exam. Consider inflammatory etiology, including reflex
sympathetic dystrophy. Mild degenerative arthritis.
CT Chest ___
Indeterminate bilateral pulmonary nodules. .
Stable mild compression fractures T5, T6 vertebral bodies.
Mild paravertebral edema T4-T5 level, may represent reactive
change, possibly related to fractures if they are acute or
subacute, or infiltrative process. Stable indistinct bilateral
T4-T5 facet joints, may be degenerative, consider septic
arthritis if clinically suspected
CT A/P ___. Indeterminate mildly enlarged pelvic, inguinal lymph nodes.
.
2. Hepatic steatosis.
R Wrist XR ___
No periarticular osteopenia.
Mild degenerative arthritis.
L Wrist US ___. Imaging Findings - Hypervascular left wrist synovitis
without evidence of effusion.
2. Procedure - No fluid could be spontaneously aspirated. 3 cc
of sterile saline was injected into the radiocarpal joint and a
trace amount of fluid was re- aspirated and sent to the
laboratory for culture. There was insufficient fluid for fluid
analysis (cell count).
MRI Wrist ___. Diffuse bone marrow edema of the carpal bones as well as the
distal radius and ulna, associated with extensive synovitis of
the DRUJ and carpal joints. A few scattered erosions noted.
Findings are compatible with inflammatory arthropathy, including
rheumatoid arthritis in other inflammatory arthritides. However,
in the appropriate clinical setting, an indolent infection such
as mycobacterial and non microbacterial TB can have a similar
appearance.
2. Tear of the radial band of the TFCC, with synovitis in the
distal
radioulnar joint. .
3. Areas of osteoarthritis including the first CMC, triscaphe
and radiocarpal articulations.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR WRIST ___ CONTRAST LEFT
INDICATION: ___ year old man with synovitis. // eval swelling of left wrist.
TECHNIQUE: Imaging performed at 1.5 Tesla using wrist coil according to the
mass-infection protocol.
Contrast: 8 cc Gadavist.
COMPARISON: Left wrist radiographs ___.
FINDINGS:
The examination is significantly limited by motion artifact.
There is diffuse bone marrow edema within the distal radius and ulna as well
as nearly all carpal bones and proximal metacarpals. There is no joint
effusion. T2 hyperintense areas of the distal radioulnar joint and along the
carpal joints (12:12, 15) enhance following administration of contrast,
indicating areas of synovitis. Although there is considerable thickened
synovium, there is no fluid within the joint.
There is a suggestion of an osseous erosion along the radial aspect of the
distal radius (12:13). Additional scattered erosions are noted along the
radial head (12:14 and possibly elsewhere about the wrist. There is diffuse
loss of the joint spaces between the carpal bones, indicating loss of
cartilage. There is severe first CMC osteoarthritis.
There is abnormal high signal within the radial band of the TFC, indicative of
a tear of the radial component of the triangular fibrocartilage (12:13).
Additionally, there is narrowing of the radiocarpal interval, particularly
between the radius and the lunate (12:13). Evaluation of the SL and LT
ligaments is limited, due to motion and the imaging protocol employed. .
Motion limits evaluation of the flexor extensor tendons, however there is high
T2 signal around the flexor digitorum tendons (09:13), indicative of
tenosynovitis, question fluid versus thickened synovium.
No definite mass in the carpal tunnel.
IMPRESSION:
1. Diffuse bone marrow edema of the carpal bones as well as the distal radius
and ulna, associated with extensive synovitis of the DRUJ and carpal joints.
A few scattered erosions noted. Findings are compatible with inflammatory
arthropathy, including rheumatoid arthritis in other inflammatory arthritides.
However, in the appropriate clinical setting, an indolent infection such as
mycobacterial and non microbacterial TB can have a similar appearance.
2. Tear of the radial band of the TFCC, with synovitis in the distal
radioulnar joint. .
3. Areas of osteoarthritis including the first CMC, triscaphe and radiocarpal
articulations.

COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is prominent soft tissue swelling, most pronounced about the wrist and
second MCP and PIP joints. The fingers are flexed on all three views,
limiting detailed assessment of the DIP and PIP joints. There is pronounced
patchy osteopenia about the wrist and through the fingers, with a
periarticular predominance. Allowing for the severity of the periarticular
osteopenia, no discrete erosion is identified. No obvious fracture and no
dislocation. No soft tissue calcification is identified. No subcutaneous
emphysema detected.
IMPRESSION:
Pronounced periarticular osteopenia. Pronounced soft tissue swelling about
the wrist, second MCP and second PIP joints.
No definite erosion, though the IP joints are not well visualized due to
flexion positioning on all three views. No periostitis identified.
The differential includes inflammatory and infectious etiologies. Although
soft tissue swelling is most pronounced about the wrist and finger, the
periarticular osteopenia extends throughout the entire wrist and hand.
However, no focal dominant bony osteolysis or periostitis is identified to
suggest focal osteomyelitis. In the appropriate clinical setting, chronic
regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) can have a somewhat
similar appearance.

level of pain: 6
level of acuity: 3.0 | Mr. ___ is a ___ y/o M with a h/o EtOH abuse, who presented s/p
a fall and intoxicated, found to have T5 fracture, as well as
fever, inflammatory arthritis, anemia, and hyperkeratotic rash.
# T5 Fracture - Traumatic from falls while intoxicated. He was
seen by Neurosurgery, who recommended no intervention. There is
no need for any brace. He has no activity restrictions.
# Palmoplantar Keratoderma (PPK) due to Psoriasis
Presented with many hyperkeratotic lesions, and per Derm
consultants this was consistent with "PPK". Skin biopsy was done
and was consistent with Psoriasis. He was started on Clobetasol
and Urea creams. He will follow-up with Derm in ___. This
diagnosis its with his history of inflammatory arthritis, except
for that you would not expect his hand x-rays to show
___ osteopenia with psoriatic arthritis.
Extensive workup was done to ensure no other etiology of his
PPK, and was negative: HIV/syphilis (negative), crusted scabies
(not seen on biopsy), Reiter's syndrome (Gonorrhea/Chlamydia
negative), arsenic poisoning (pending but unlikely), and HPV
(not seen on biopsy). It can be drug induced but he has no
offending meds on his list (digoxin, venlafaxine, verapamil,
hydroxyurea, quinacrine, practolol, and chemotherapeutics).
Paraneoplastic PPK also a possibility, but no evidence of cancer
on CT scans, and PSA not elevated.
# Arthritis: Presented with multiple painful, swollen joints. L
wrist, bilateral elbows are the main joints involved. Rheum was
consulted. L Hand XR showed pronounced periarticular
osteopenia, no chondrocalcinosis. R Wrist XR for comparison did
not show any periarticular osteopenia. Rheumatoid factor, ESR,
and CRP were all markedly elevated. Anti-CCP and ___ were
negative, SPEP and Cryo's negative, uric acid low. The lack of
a symmetrical small-joint arthritis pointed against RA, despite
the +RF. Joint fluid aspiration was attempted, little could be
obtained, but what was obtained showed no organisms or cells on
gram stain. Given the skin biopsy results showing psoriasis,
this was felt to be most consistent with Psoriatic Arthritis.
However, he will need outpatient synovial biopsy of left wrist
to confirm the diagnosis. From there, we will follow up with
Rheum to discuss treatment options.
# EtOH abuse: Prior to admission had been drinking
significantly. He was in withdrawal on arrival to floor. He was
treated with PRN Diazepam via the CIWA protocol. This was
discontinued several days into the hospital stay once he was no
longer scoring. Significant drinking history and took very
little PO nutrition prior to admission. Thus he was starting on
vitamin supplementation, and Nutrition was consulted.
# Anemia
Retic B12 and Folate WNL. Ferritin WNL but may be falsely high
in setting of acute inflammation. LDH/Bili suggest against
hemolysis. Likely related to nutritional reasons in addition to
anemia of chronic disease. Started on PO Iron. Hgb/Hct were
completely stable during stay, and he never needed a blood
transfusion.
# Thrombocytosis: PLT count rose every day this admission, from
100's on admit to 501 on discharge. Consider unmasking of EtOH
marrow suppression, vs secondary to underlying autoimmune
inflammatory state.
# Pulm nodules: He told the team of a history of multiple (9)
pulmonary nodules, up to 5mm, which were monitored by a
pulmonologist with serial CT scans, and most recent scans showed
increase in size. He was then lost to follow up. CT chest here
confirmed these nodules.
- Will need outpatient follow up of these
# Fall: Most likely this happened in setting of
EtOH/intoxication and general failure to thrive. Also, he has
significant skin lesions on his feet which would make walking
very difficult. Thus, he has multiple reasons for a mechanical
fall, and a cardiac cause of fall seems unlikely. Telemetry was
unremarkable other than sinus tachycardia and was discontinued
after several days. ___ preliminary report showed no depression
of EF or valve disease.
# Fever: He had a fever three times during this hospital stay.
No clear source of infection. His impressive skin lesions did
not appear to be infected or cellulitic, and biopsy confirmed
this. Inflammatory markers ESR and CRP both elevated but likely
due to autoimmune. UA/Urine culture negative, CXR without PNA,
blood cultures no growth, HIV/RPR/GC/Chlamydia negative, CT
C/A/P without infectious source, TTE without vegetation. Most
likely a noninfectious fever, due to autoimmune disease,
possibly worsened initially by withdrawal from EtOH.
# Tobacco abuse - nicotine patch
# Hep B non-immune: Based on labs done as part of arthritis
workup. Hep B non-immune, got dose ___ of vaccine ___.
- dose ___ or later
- dose ___ or later
# Pain control: Diffuse pain, likely multifactorial in setting
of withdrawal, joint swelling, skin lesions.
- Tylenol Q8 PRN
- Ibuprofen Q8 PRN
- Oxycodone PRN for breakthrough
===================
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
===================
- The Hand Surgery team at ___ will contact his Rehab facility
to discuss timing and scheduling of an outpatient wrist biopsy.
From there, he will follow-up with ___ Rheumatology once the
results of biopsy are known.
- Found to be non-immune for Hepatitis B. Received vaccine ___
on ___. Needs dose ___ on ___ or later. Needs dose ___ on
___ or later.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ woman status post lap band removal, now with
abdominal distention, nausea, and pain. Evaluate for free air and ileus.
COMPARISONS: None.
FINDINGS: Supine and erect views of the abdomen demonstrate a nonspecific
bowel gas pattern with air and contrast-filled loops of bowel. No evidence of
ileus, obstruction, or free air. The visualized osseous structures are
unremarkable. A drain projects over the left and mid abdomen.
IMPRESSION: Nonspecific bowel gas pattern without ileus or free air.
Radiology Report
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with status post laparoscopic removal of
infected gastric band growing strep. Now amylase and bilirubin in drain.
Assess for abscess formation or leak.
TECHNIQUE: CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis was obtained after
administration of oral and intravenous contrast material. 130 cc of Omnipaque
was intravenously administered. A prior CT study of the abdomen and pelvis
dated ___ was available for comparison.
FINDINGS:
LUNG BASES: Lung bases are included and show bilateral new small pleural
effusions with associated compressive atelectasis in both lower lung lobes.
No suspicious pulmonary nodules are seen.
ABDOMEN: The liver and spleen are normal in size. No focal hepatic lesions
are identified. There is interval removal of the gastric banding which was
found to be infected. There is gaseous distention of the stomach. There is

resprate: 16.0
o2sat: 100.0
sbp: 133.0
dbp: 83.0
level of pain: 8
level of acuity: 3.0 | The patient presented to the Emergency Department on ___ at the suggestion of her PCP due to abdominal pain with
associated fevers and hematuria. Upon arrival, intravenous
fluids/ pain medication were administered and radiographic
imaging was obtained. An abdominal CT scan suggested
'extensive inflammatory changes about gastric banding catheter
tubing spanning approximately 10 to 11 cm with small amount of
free fluid in the right hemipelvis' without fluid collection.
Given the findings, intravenous metronidazole and ciprofloxacin
were administered and the patient was taken to the operating
room where she underwent laparoscopic exploration with lysis of
adhesions, infected band removal, washout, and upper endoscopy.
There were no adverse events in the operating room; please see
operative note for details. The patient was extubated and taken
to the PACU for recovery. Once deemed stable, she was admitted
to the general surgical ward for further observation.
Neuro: The patient was alert and oriented throughout her
hospitalization; pain was initially managed with intravenous
hydromorphone and tylenol and then transitioned to oral
oxycodone and tylenol once tolerating clears.
CV: The patient was persistently tachycardic to 110-120s on
POD1, which responded to fluid boluses and aggressive IV fluid
resuscitation. She remained stable from a cardiovascular
stanpoint throughout the remainder of her hospitalization; vital
signs were routinely monitored.
Pulmonary: The patient remained stable from a pulmonary
standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. Good pulmonary
toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirometry were
encouraged throughout hospitalization.
GI/GU/FEN: She was initially kept NPO until an upper GI study
was performed on post-operative day 1, which was negative for a
leak. Therefore, her diet was advanced to a clears, however on
POD2, the patient developed nausea with associated dry heaves
and mild abdominal distention. Her nausea resolved by POD3 and
she began passing flatus with + BM on POD4; she was subsequently
able to tolerate diet advancement. She continued to report
bloating and fullness which was relieved with Reglan. Of note,
the patient had one left-sided JP drain placed intraoperatively.
On POD4, drain output changed in character from
serous/serosanguionous to dark brown, returning to serous over
the next day. A JP amylase was 3263 and total bilirubin was
1.3. Patient was clinically improving but this prompted a CT
abdomen on POD 5 which failed to demonstrate a a leak or abcess.
However, it did continue to show pelvic fluid with a small
foreign body in the dependent fluid with a tubular structure,
thought to be a small piece of the trocar sheath, and the
decision was made not to intervene. JP drain was discontinued
POD 7 before discharge. Also, immediately post-operatively,
urine output remained marginal requiring mulitple fluid boluses.
A foley catheter, placed on POD2 for urine output monitoring,
was discontinued on POD 4 due to adequate urine output after
aggressive fluid resuscitation. Subsequently, the patient was
able to void adequate amounts of urine throughout the remainder
of her hospitalization.
ID: The patient's fever curves were closely watched for signs of
infection, of which there were none. She was treated empirically
with intravenous ciprofloxacin and metronidazole. This was
changed to vancomycin once gram stain from intra-operative
cultures showed gram + cocci in pairs/clusters. Cultures were
consistent with strep anginosus; ID recommended starting
ceftriaxone and resuming metronidazle for a total of 2 weeks.
Patient received a PICC line on POD 5 in order to continue home
abx therapy. WBC peaked at 15.6 on POD4, consistently
normalizing throughout her hospitalization. Her abdominal drain
was discontinued on POD 7 before discharge.
HEME: The patient's blood counts were closely watched for signs
of bleeding, of which there were none.
Prophylaxis: The patient received subcutaneous heparin and ___
dyne boots were used during this stay; she was encouraged to get
up and ambulate as early as possible. She also receieved a PPI
thoughout her stay for GI prophylaxis.
At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile
with stable vital signs. The patient was tolerating a regular
diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well
controlled. The patient was discharged home with ___ services
to assist her with her PICC line and IV antibiotics for a 2 week
duration. The patient received discharge teaching and follow-up
instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with
the discharge plan. |

Chief complaint: Dizziness, Hypotension
Diagnosed with Anemia, unspecified

resprate: 18.0
o2sat: 100.0
sbp: 105.0
dbp: 59.0
level of pain: 3
level of acuity: 2.0 | ___ with hx dysautonomia and chronic fatigue syndrome,
depression/anxiety, possible Sjogren's syndrome vs
undifferentiated autoimmune condition, chronic nausea,
osteoarthritis s/p recent R TKA presenting with nausea and
lightheadedness, admitted for acute on chronic anemia.
# Normocytic anemia:
# Iron deficiency:
Hgb 11.2 in early ___, downtrended to 8.4 on ___ and
nadired at 6.1 this presentation. Etiology unclear, but
potentially concerning for slow UGIB given one guaiac positive
stool this admission (in absence of gross melena/hematochezia)
and mild iron deficiency (ferritin 48, Tsat 9%). Colonoscopy in
___ (and per patient a more recent colonoscopy) normal; EGD
___
showed non-erosive gastropathy. R knee without evidence of
hematoma, and onset of anemia reportedly preceded her recent
surgery. No e/o RP bleeding, hematuria, hemoptysis, or
post-menopausal bleeding. No e/o hemolysis with nl bili, LDH,
haptoglobin, and retic count. CRP WNL and ferritin 48, making
anemia of inflammation unlikely as well. B12/folate WNL.
Responded robustly to 2u pRBCs this admission, with Hgb 6.1 ->
9.4 on discharge. She likely warrants a repeat EGD +/-
colonoscopy, which can be performed as an outpatient given
absence of HD-significant bleeding and resolution of her
symptoms. Previously arranged GI ___ at ___ is scheduled for
___. Would consider initiation of iron supplementation at PCP
or GI ___.
# Lightheadedness:
# Palpitations:
# Fatigue:
# Dysautonomia:
# Chronic fatigue syndrome:
Presents with acute on chronic lightheadedness, palpitations,
and
fatigue in setting of suspected underlying dysautonomia and
chronic fatigue syndrome. Suspect that these underlying
conditions were exacerbated by concurrent anemia, as above, but
low suspicion that anemia is directly/causally related. CTA
chest
and CTA head/neck in ED without e/o PE, CVA, or carotid
stenosis.
AM cortisol was negative. EKG NSR without e/o ischemia and
cardiac enzymes negative. Telemetry without arrhythmias. TTE
deferred in absence of murmur. Initial orthostasis resolved with
fluids and transfusion, so no clear indication for pharmacologic
intervention for dysautonomia at present (was previously on
florinef and mestinon; midodrine had previously been considered
but not initiated). Her home propranol was held in hospital and
on discharge, to be resumed by PCP as deemed appropriate. She
may
benefit from ___ with Dr. ___ at ___ for further evaluation
and management of chronic fatigue syndrome and dysautonomia.
# Nausea:
Unclear etiology despite extensive evaluation over years. In
setting of possible slow UGIB, likely warrants repeat EGD, which
can be pursued as an outpatient (GI ___ previously arranged for
___ at ___). At request of patient's PCP, CT ___ w/cont
obtained, which preliminarily showed no suspicious
masses/lesions
and no e/o obstruction. Preliminary read comments on mild
dilation of CBD, but normal LFTs argue against biliary
obstruction. Could consider MRCP vs ERCP for further w/u as
outpatient. Patient was tolerating a regular diet at discharge.
# Osteoarthritis:
# S/p R TKA:
R TKA appeared to be healing well without e/o hematoma. Home
oxycodone PRN continued. She will ___ with her orthopedic
surgeon
as previously scheduled.
# Prior concern for Sjogen's:
# Positive ___:
Previously evaluated by rheumatology in setting of positive ___
with titer 1:320 (___), initially thought to have Sjogren's,
which was then deemed less likely on subsequent evaluations. Had
been on Cellcept, Plaquenil, and IVIG, not recently. No
arthralgias, myalgias, or sicca symptoms to suggest active
autoimmune condition, including Sjogren's. Absence of morning
stiffness largely exonerates PMR, and no HA/claudication to
suggest GCA (and CRP/ESR WNL). RF and CCP negative this
admission. ___ positive with titer pending at discharge, but SLE
thought less likely. Can consider further rheumatology
evaluation
as outpatient.
# Depression:
# Anxiety:
Continued home clonazepam, brexpiprazole, paroxetine.
# Possible EBV viremia:
Reports that she was diagnosed with this by physician in
___ and started on valacyclovir. No clear marrow
suppression reported from valacyclovir, which was resumed on
discharge.

# Unsteady gait/lightheadedness: Patient reported feeling clumsy
and lightheaded since being started on diltiazem few weeks ago
albeit worse in the past ___ days prior to admission. She
reportedly presented to ___ few days prior to this admission and
was ruled out for MI and found to have normal stress test.
During this admission she was not orthostatic; EKG was not
concerning for any ischemic changes or any arrythmias. She was
once again ruled out for MI with three sets of negative cardiac
enzymes. She had CT head which did not show any signs
concerning for stroke. Patient was also seen by neurology who
felt her symptoms were unlikely to be caused by seizures,
strokes or any other serious neurological problem. It is likely
that her symptoms were caused from taking long acting diltiazem.
Her 120mg long acting diltiazem was decreased to 30mg TID short
acting diltiazem with some improvement in her symptoms. She was
evaluated by physical therapy on the day of discharge, who
recommended patient home physical therapy however patient
refused to have any physical therapy services at home. She was
encouraged to follow up with primary care physician, neurologist
and cardiologist for further care.
.
# Worsening Tremors/shakiness: Benign essential tremor is the
most likely etiology. Her symptoms were controlled with
metoprolol in the past however three weeks ago she was switched
from metoprolol to diltiazem which may have precipitated her
tremors in patient who has history of anxiety and PTSD. She did
not have other findings to suggest ___. As above patient
was evaluated by neurology who did not have any concern for
seizures and recommended outpatient follow up in the movement
disorder clinic. She will follow up with PCP and neurologist
who should consider restarting patient back on metoprolol for
better control of tremors.
.
# Transient shortness of breath: Patient reported one episode of
transient shortness of breath prior to presentation. As above
she was ruled out for MI. She did not have any arrythmia on
EKG. There was no sign of volume overload and CXR did not show
any pulmonary process. Her transient shortness of breath was
likely secondary to her anxiety. She did not have any further
episodes of shortness of breath during this admission.
.
#Night sweats: Only happened once. She was monitored and did not
have any localizing signs or symptoms of infection. Certainly
anxiety may have contributed.
.
#Torticollis/Cervical dystonia: This is a long standing
diagnosis for her; the etiology is unclear. She had previously
considered botox injections but decided against that option. She
will follow up in outpatient movement disorder clinic for
further care.
.
# Paroxysmal afib: Patient was switched to lower dose of short
acting diltiazem, as patient's lightheadedness may have been
caused by long acting diltiazem. She was continued on aspirin.
She remained in sinus rhythm during this admission.
.
#Esophageal spasm: She was recently started on diltiazem by her
gastroenterologist with some control of her symptoms. During
this hospital stay she was switched to short acting diltiazem as
above. She was encouraged to follow up with her
gastroenterologist for further care.

level of pain: 0
level of acuity: 2.0 | Briefly, Ms. ___ presented to the emergency department at
___ on the evening of ___ with a second pneumothorax (see
admission note). In the ED, she was hemodynamically stable with
O2 sats >92% on 3L nasal cannula. She had a CXR which showed a
contained pneumothorax without tension. Given that she was
comfortable, stable, and likely needed to go to the OR, she did
not have a pigtail catheter placed at that time. However,
overnight she became short of breath and was switched to a
nonrebreather mask with pigtail catheter insertion as the
pneumothorax was more prominent on CT. She remained stable
throughout ___ and went to the OR the morning of ___ for a
possible VATS blebectomy and mechanical pleurodesis. She
received her morning dose of subcutaneous heparin, epidural
placement, foley placement, and underwent sedation/intubation
uneventfully. In the OR, findings were notable for numerous
blebs, none of which were found to be the cause of her current
pneumothorax. Therefore, a thorough mechanical pleurodesis was
performed. She extubated uneventfully and was transferred to the
PACU for continued recovery. Her chest tube remained to suction
for 48 hours, was removed, and follow up chest xray showed no
pneumothorax. Her post-operative course was notable for itching
from her epidural, well controlled, but otherwise was
uneventful. She was discharged in excellent condition with a
mobile tank of O2 for travel, pain well controlled with PO pain
medications, tolerating a full diet, and voiding well. She has a
follow up appointment with Dr. ___ prior to her
departure to ___. She was also given copies of her
radiology images to take with her for follow up in ___. |

Chief Complaint:
Nausea, vomiting
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
___ yo M with hx of HTN on lisinopril, GERD, presents with
hypertensive urgency associated with nausea, vomiting,
diaphoresis, abdominal discomfort and headaches for 1 day.
Patient has a long-standing hx of hypertension requiring 6
hospitalizations that occur every ___ months. These episodes are
susually accompanied by nausea, diaphoresis, headache. Most
recently, he was evaluated at ___ for encephalopathy
(noted "odd/peculiar" mental status) with unremarkable CT head
and lumbar puncture followed by transfer to MICU on ___ for
BP to 220s that did not respond to IV hydralazine, IV labetalol
eventually requiring esmolol drip. His mental status improved
quickly and BP was well controlled on lisinopril 10 mg daily,
decreased to 5 mg by PCP ___ ___.
With respect to current episode, patient was in USOH until the
morning of admission day. He had just finished morning coffee
and was in bathroom, when he felt heart burn, became
diaphoretic, nauseous and had nonbloody emesis. Symptoms
worsened while he was driving to the ED, requiring him to call
EMS. He was also becoming more anxious. He also had a mild
headache but denied significant vision changes, chest pain,
dyspnea, dysuria, hematuria.
Per report by EMS, his EKG showed global hyperacute T waves
concerning for hyperkalemia given lisinopril use, so he was
given IV calcium, single amp of bicarbonate.
In ED initial VS: 98.0, HR 72, BP 180/90 -> 219/125, RR 24, 100%
RA
Labs significant for
-WBC 15.7 (76% neut, no bands)
-TSH 1.8, T4 1.4 (wnl)
-AST 20 ALT 20 AP 148 Alb 5.6
-Lactate 4.5 -> 1.7
-EKG did not show acute T waves
Patient was given 1L NS, Zofran, Ativan, multiple roudns of
labetalol plus a dose of hydralazine. Due to persistent
hypertension, he was started on a labetalol gtt, which was able
to be weaned after approximately 9 hours. Patient's BP reached
105/55 after labetalol gtt, but given his high risk of needing
to go back to gtt, he was admitted to the MICU for BP
monitoring.
On arrival to the MICU, patient was not in acute distress,
appeared comfortable.

---- ___ CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST ----
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass.
The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
There is no evidence of fracture. There is a mild right greater
than left maxillary sinus mucosal wall thickening along with
moderate mucosal wall thickening of the left sphenoid sinus,
mild on the right, with mild-to-moderate bilateral ethmoid air
cell mucosal wall thickening. There is also minimal mucosal
thickening in the right frontal sinus. The visualized portion
of the mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.
The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
---- ___ CT ABD/PELVIS WITH CONTRAST ----
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute process identified in the abdomen or pelvis. No
adrenal mass. 2. Old fractures of the left lateral seventh and
eighth ribs, incidentally noted. Mild thoracolumbar spine
degenerative changes. Other incidental findings, as above.
---- ___ CXR ----
FINDINGS:
The cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits. The
hila are unremarkable. Diffuse slight prominence of the
interstitial markings bilaterally suggests mild interstitial
edema; underlying atypical infection is not entirely excluded in
the appropriate clinical setting, but felt less likely.
Suggestion of subcentimeter opacity at the right lateral
cardiophrenic angle, which is blunted, likely represents
atelectasis or scarring. No correlate identified on lateral
view. Otherwise, no focal lung consolidation. No pneumothorax
or sizable pleural effusion.
IMPRESSION:
Diffuse slight prominence of the interstitial markings
bilaterally suggests mild interstitial edema; underlying
atypical infection is not entirely excluded in the appropriate
clinical setting, but felt less likely.
Slight blunting of the right costophrenic angle with overlying
relative linear opacity most likely due to scarring/atelectasis.

s/p TIPS, please evaluate for cholecystitis, PVT
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale, color, and spectral Doppler ultrasound images of the
abdomen were obtained.
COMPARISON: Tips ultrasound ___.
FINDINGS:
The liver appears diffusely coarsened and nodular consistent with known
cirrhosis. No focal liver lesions are identified. There is no ascites. There
is stable splenomegaly, with the spleen measuring 16 cm, similar to prior.
There is no intrahepatic biliary dilation. The CHD measures 5 mm. There is no
evidence of gall stones. The gallbladder is not distended. There is
gallbladder wall edema, likely third-spacing or related to liver disease.
The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow.
The TIPS is patent and demonstrates wall-to-wall flow.
Portal vein and intra-TIPS velocities are as follows:
Main portal vein: 34.2 cm/sec, previously 35 cm/sec

TIPS (___), history of HCV, HTN, T2DM on insulin, COPD,
seizure disorder, presents to the emergency department for
alcohol use and c/f melena with guaiac negative stool.
Acute Medical Problems Addressed:
==========================
# Alcohol-related cirrhosis:
#Report of melena:
MELD-Na 15 on admission. Historically complicated by EV &
bleeding, s/p TIPs, and encephalopathy. Initial report of
melena, though H/H stable and stools are guaiac negative, so low
suspicion for clinically significant GI bleed. No reported
episodes of melena since arrival. TIPS patent on US. No ascites
or edema, no evidence of infection, and no encephalopathy
currently, thus cirrhosis appears to be compensated. Abdominal
exam benign with low c/f SBP. While inpatient we trended daily
MELD labs, restarted his home medications of lactulose and
rifaximin for encephalopathy prevention (though patient
intermittently refused to take these). Restarted spironolactone,
furosemide, and nadolol on ___ as Cr is very close to baseline.
We restarted PO pantoprazole.
# Alcohol Use Disorder, Alcohol withdrawal
Last drink AM of ___. Unclear history of withdrawal seizures.
We continued him on CIWA scale with several doses of lozarepam
given per CIWA protocol. Patient would like to abstain going
forward. Initially patient stated he was interested in an
inpatient detox program however, he later decided that he would
follow up with AA and go home. He was given supplemental
MVI/thiamine/folate
___: Cr 1.2 on admission from 1.0 baseline
Likely in the setting of poor PO intake with EtOH use. He is s/p
12.5 albumin in ED, and additional 12.5 g on ___ on floor. We
restarted diuretics on ___
Chronic Issues:
===========
#Thrombocytopenia: Chronic, related to liver disease and
ongoing alcohol use.
-Continue to monitor
#Rash: Pruritic rash appears consistent with urticaria.
Suspect recent allergic exposure. Improving since admission
-Continue to monitor
-Benadryl 25 mg q6, sxs resolving
-Sarna lotion PRN
#HTN: Previously on losartan
- Will continue to hold in setting of slightly elevated Cr from
baseline and stable BPs.
- Continue amlodipine 10 mg PO daily
#T2DM: Not taking any insulin at home; A1C 8.9%. Hyperglycemic
on
admission to 476, sugars now improving (133 last night, although
up to 317 and 296 this morning)
- Restart insulin at prior documented dose: 20 U NPH BID, with
ISS
- Monitor, may need up-titration of insulin regimen if sugars
remain in high 200-300 range
#Seizure disorder
- Restarted prior dose of Keppra, 500 BID
- Restarted gabapentin at lower dose (discharged in ___ on 800
mg
PO TID), will restart at 200mg TID, can up-titrate as needed
- Will need OP neurology f/u
# Depression
- Restarted fluoxetine at prior dose (20mg daily)
#Medication reconciliation: Previously was also on acamprosate,
sucralfate, and trazodone in addition to above.
- Will not restart these medications to decrease pill burden,
but continue to monitor symptoms
Transitional Issues:
[ ]EtOH use: Please continue to reinforce importance of sobriety
[ ]Cirrhosis: Please encourage patient to follow up with
hepatology
[ ]Need for op neurology follow up. |

Other considerations in the differential can include
cerebellar calcifications. No new foci of hemorrhage.
ATTENDIMG NOTE: Hyperdensities are bilaterally symmetric and
essentially unchanged since the CT of ___ 20:
23.. This may be secondary to calcifications in the cerebellar
nuclei. This can be further confirmed with comparison with any
prior order studies or getting at 12:00 follow-up.
ECHO ___
The left atrial volume index is normal. Color-flow imaging of
the interatrial septum raises the suspicion of a secundum atrial
septal defect, but this could not be confirmed with certainty on
the basis of this study. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity
size, and global systolic function are normal (LVEF = 60%). Due
to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality
cannot be fully excluded. Right ventricular chamber size and
free wall motion are normal. The ascending aorta is mildly
dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis. Trace
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. The
estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is
no pericardial effusion.
-IMPRESSION: possible secundum atrial septal defect; otherwise
essentially normal study

ACUTE MEDICAL/SURGICAL ISSUES ADDRESSED
#Syncope
#Orthostatic Hypotension
Patient presented after fainting. Likely etiology is orthostatic
hypotension in the setting of hypovolemia from GI illness.
Physical exam positive for orthostatic hypotension. Her EKG was
normal sinus rhythm on presentation. Patient was monitored with
telemetry with no evidence of arrhythmia. Echo demonstrated
normal function and structure with the exception of a mildly
dilated ascending aorta. Pulmonary embolism was considered given
patients history, but she denied any shortness of breath or
chest pain. Head CT ___ with evidence suggestive of
subarachnoid hemorrhage. Likely the SAH occurred traumatically
after she struck her head when fainting and was not the cause of
the syncope. She was hydrated with IVF and discharged home with
services.
# Subarachnoid hemorrhage:
Patient presented with a fall & head strike. CT ___ notable for
hyperdensities concerning for subarachnoid hemorrhage or
cerebellar calcifications. Neurosurgery consulted and did not
believe she required a surgical intervention. She had q4h neuro
checks and a goal SBP <160. Her neuro exam was stable over the
course of this admission.
# Hypokalemia: Patient presented to OSH with K of 2. This likely
resulted from potassium losses in her diarrhea in combination
with HCTZ use. Her electrolytes were monitored and repleated as
needed.
# Nausea / Vomiting / Diarrhea: Patient presented after four
days of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Likely due to a viral
gastroenteritis. This issue resolved on day of admission.

metastases.
Patient reports episodic confusion and gait unsteadiness for the
past two months. Her gait has not gotten much worse and has
remained stable for that time. She denies any falls. She also
notes right face and tongue tingling/numbness. She has been more
sleepy and has not been eating or drinking as much for the past
couple weeks. She also had several episodes of nausea and
vomiting the day prior to admission. She denies headaches. She
was scheduled for brain MRI to evaluate for leptomeningeal
disease/brain metastases at the direction of her Oncologist. The
imaging revealed multiple brain metastases and she was directly
referred to the ED.
On arrival to the ED, initial vitals were 98.2 72 117/76 20 94%
RA. Neuro exam was notable for intact orientation, ___
backwards,
direction changing nystagmus, full strength, decreased light
touch over all fingers, and hyperreflexia. Labs were notable for
WBC 8.6, H/H 12.2/38.0, Na 141, K 3.7, BUN/Cr ___, LFTs wnl,
and serum tox negative.
- CXR was negative for pneumonia. Neurology was consulted and
recommended dexamethasone 4mg q6h, keppra 500mg BID, and
admission to Neuro Oncology. Neurosurgery was consulted and
recommended ___ indication for urgent neurosurgical intervention
and plan to follow for possible surgical resection of cerebellar
lesions. Patient was given 4mg IV dexamethasone, 1mg and 0.5mg
IV
Ativan, and 1.5L NS. Prior to transfer vitals were 98.2 125
101/51 17 97% RA.

fevers/chills, night sweats, headache, vision changes, shortness
of breath, cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, palpitations,
abdominal
pain, diarrhea, hematemesis, hematochezia/melena, dysuria,
hematuria, and new rashes.
Past Medical History:
- ___: A PET/CT Scan from showed a FDG avid left upper lobe
mass. 1.3 cm partially solid nodule in the lingula and a 4 mm
nodule in the right middle lobe were not FDG avid and are
probably not related to the left hilar mass.
- ___: A transbronchialbiopsy from ___ disclosed an
adenocarcinoma and by immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were
positive for TTF-1, napsin A, and cytokeratin 7; consistent with
nonsmall cell lung cancer.
- ___: The patient underwent mediastinoscopy with sampling
of nodal stations 4L, 4R, 7, 9, 12R with a left upper lobe
lobectomy. The final tissue disclosed an invasive adenocarcinoma

Active Issues
===========
# Gait Unsteadiness:
# Confusion:
# Metastatic Brain Lesions:
Pt had been having increasing symptoms of confusion and
unsteadiness at home, so an MRI was done by her outpatient
providers on ___, which showed multiple brain lesions both
supratentorial and infratentorial, which were the most likely
cause of her symptoms. She was transferred to the ER for further
work-up and evaluation. Pt was seen by neurology, who started
the patient on Dexamethasone 4mg q6h and Keppra 500mg q12. Pt
continued to experience somnolence throughout the day and was
difficult to arouse, so an EEG was done to evaluate for seizures
in the setting of suspected post-ictal confusion. EEG did not
demonstrate seizures, so urgent WBRT was started and she was
give an extra dose of steroids and ritalin. The patient's mental
status improved greatly and she was more alert. Radiation
oncology then performed more formal mapping and pt received her
second dose of WBRT on ___ with the plan for a total of 10
fractions. She continued to improve and only notable symptom
that persisted on physical exam was horizontal nystagmus and a
fine tremor. The patient did continue to have a flat affect, but
remained AAOx3.
# Small Cell Lung Cancer: Patient progressed on multiple prior
rounds of chemotherapy, and was receiving docetaxel prior to
admission, but had imaging consistent with multiple brain mets
as above. The pt's outpatient oncologist Dr. ___ Dr. ___
___ contacted, who recommended a CT head/neck and torso to
assess for further disease progress to be used in treatment
planning. Her disease had been found to progress. Dr. ___
___ these finding and explained her poor prognosis and
lack of effective treatment available at this point. She will
continue her palliative radiation treatments, but not pursue any
additional chemotherapy treatments. She was discharged with
___ Care.
# Tachycardia: Unclear cause. Per patient, she has intermittent
episodes of tachycardia which she was evaluated for as an
outpatient without known cause. She is not symptomatic and
denies chest pain and shortness of breath. ECG showed sinus
tachycardia. The suspicion for PE remained low throughout the
hospitalization, as the patient remained free from symptoms and
did not require oxygen. It did improve to the high ___ to 100s
after IVF hydration.
# History of Knee Infection
Patient was continued on home dose of doxycycline for
suppression of infection.

ceftriaxone (x24h) and as such broadened to vancomycin and
ceftriaxone (for another 24h), with minimal improvement. LLE
ultrasound ruled out DVT. No
evidence of joint involvement to suspect septic arthritis. Of
note nasolabial region also with new erythema concerning for
erysipelas. This really seems to be clinically consistent with

IMAGING/STUDIES
CXR ___
FINDINGS:
Left-sided AICD /pacemaker seen device is noted with leads
terminating in
right atrium and right ventricle. Cardiac silhouette size is
mildly enlarged with a left ventricular predominance. The aorta
is tortuous and demonstrates diffuse atherosclerotic
calcifications. Lung volumes are low. Pulmonary vascularity is
within normal limits without evidence of pulmonary edema. No
focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax is
present. Widening of the right paratracheal stripe is likely
related to low lung volumes. There are no acute osseous
abnormalities. Mild deformity of the mid shaft of the left
clavicle may suggest a remote healed fracture. No free air is
noted under the diaphragms.
IMPRESSION:
No acute cardiopulmonary process. Low lung volumes.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Vomiting and hypotension.
TECHNIQUE: Portable upright AP view of the chest.

Cr 1.3-1/6), admitted with vomiting and diarrhea, found to have
gastroenteritis.
ACTIVE ISSUES
# Gastroenteritis: Most likely viral process given the
symptoms, and now resolved. His volume losses likely led to
hypovolemia, leading to hypotension. Hypotension resolved after
2L IVF with NS. Stool culture and C. diff were sent which were
negative. Symptoms resolved quickly by the following morning.
# Hypotension: Likely related to volume loss in setting of
N/V/D. Resolved with 2L IVF. Orthstatics negative on AM of
discharge; patient ambulated without symptoms. Initially
anti-hypertensives had been held. Home metoprolol was
restarted, but lisinopril and HCTZ were held pending BP check as
outpatient with PCP.
CHRONIC ISSUES
# CAD: Extensive history, with known RCA and LCA occlusions that
were not amenable to intervention. No chest pain or EKG changes
at this admission. Continued aspirin, plavix, statin.
Restarted metoprolol after holding for a day, and held
lisinopril as above d/t the hypotension, to be restarted by PCP
when outpatient blood pressure check performed.
# sCHF: Ischemic cardiomyopathy with LV EF 30% s/p AICD for
primary prevention. No acute exacerbation at this admission.
Continued ASA, statin, metoprolol. Held lisinopril d/t
hypotension above, to be restarted as outpatient as long as
blood pressure tolerates.
# HLD: Continued statin.
# BPH: Finasteride, tamsulosin continued.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
-ACEi and HCTZ will need to be restarted once blood pressure is
confirmed to be stable at outpatient visit with PCP |

ET tube is in standard position. NG tube tip is in the stomach, could be
advanced a few cm for more a standard position the side port is at the EG
junction. Aside from minimal atelectasis in the left lower lobe, the lungs are
clear. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. Cardiomegaly is stable.
Calcified mediastinal and hilar nodes are better seen in prior CT. Dilated
bowel loops are also better seen in prior abdomen CT.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Intra-operative.
TECHNIQUE: Portable radiograph of the abdomen.
COMPARISON: CT of the abdomen pelvis dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Portable supine radiographs of the abdomen demonstrate a normal bowel gas
pattern without evidence of ileus or obstruction. There is no pneumatosis.
Oral contrast is seen within multiple loops of large bowel. Multiple metallic
density clips project over the four quadrants of the abdomen. A nasogastric
tube ends in the stomach with the last side port just below the GE junction. A
1.7 x 1.2 cm hyperdensity projects over the region of the left renal pelvis,
consistent with known nonobstructive nephrolithiasis. No foreign bodies are
identified within the abdomen or pelvis.

The patient was admitted to the Acute Care Surgical Service for
evaluation and treatment. On ___ the patient underwent an
Exploratory laparotomy, right colectomy with primary
anastomosis, and temporary abdominal closure, which went well
without complication (reader referred to the Operative Note for
details). Intraoperatively she was discovered to have a region
of bowel which peristalsed more slowly than the others, and so
was left open for a second look. The patient arrived in the PACU
intubated, and sedated floor NPO, on IV fluids and antibiotics.
The patient was hypotensive. Ms ___ was tachycardic
perioperatively, she takes calcium channel blockers at baseline
and was trialled on a diltiazem drip, but became hypotensive
with diltiazem drip. This was stopped. She got PRN albumin and
IV fluids. In the afternoon of POD 1 she was taken again to the
OR for a second look. All bowel was found to be satisfactorily
perfused and the patient was closed. Please refer to the
operative note regarding this surgery as well.
The patient did well post operatively exceptfor a new weak voice
and clinical aspiration. She had an ENT consult on ___. On
that day she demonstrated hypomobility of her left cord with
discoordinated adduction and glottic gap. It was recommended
that she remain on a strict NPO diet and to be consulted by
speech and swallow. Increase of her PPI to 40mg BID and
discontinuation of nasal cannula and start humidification via
shovel mask given the excoriation along her nasal septum and dry
mucosa.
On ___ she was seen by speech and swallow. Per their
recommendation, she was advanced to a PO regular solids,
nectar-thick liquids diet, PO meds: whole in puree (cut if
large). Oral care three times a day was initiated. She was
placed on standard aspiration precautions and she was followed
by speech and swallow for the rest of her hospitalization for
her dysphagia.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ gentleman with a history of
developmental delay, chronic Hep B (on tenofovir), and Hep C
exposure who presents with coffee ground emesis. History
obtained from patient and a caretaker from his group home.
Patient was in his USH until this afternoon. He was drinking tea
at his group home and had an episode of emesis that looked like
"dirt" to the staff. Patient reported he vomited 'twice' and had
mild abdominal pain.
In the ED initial vitals were: 99.8 74 155/74 18 99%. Patient
had guaiac negative stool. NG lavage returned dark tea-colored
liquid and coffee grounds (guaiac positive). Labs were
significant for negative UA, leukobytosis to 12.2 (neutrophilic
predominant), Cr 1.5, lactate WNL at 2.0. KUB showed no evidence
of obstruction. Patient was given pantoprazole, Zofran. GI was
consulted who recommended IV PPI, good access, and trending HCT.
Likely EGD in AM. Vitals prior to transfer were: 2 100.7 77
137/80 16 RA.
Of note, patient had an unremarkable colonoscopy in ___ at ___
and by report a normal EGD in ___ done at OSH due to heme
positive stool.
On the floor, patient's aid reports he has had several days of
cough. Patient reports dysuria and pain in his belly (unknown
timeline). He has a fever but denies chills, CP, current n/v/d,
or shortness of breath.

Imaging:
___ KUB
FINDINGS: There is a nasogastric tube terminating in the
stomach, where it
makes a single coil in the fundus. There is a small air-fluid
level within
the stomach. The stomach is partly full, but not strikingly
distended. Air
and stool are seen throughout the colon. There is no dilatation
of large or
small bowel. A single air-fluid level in the right upper
quadrant may be due
to a small amount of fluid in the duodenal bulb or antrum of the
stomach.
There are also two very small air-fluid levels in the left upper
quadrant. No
free air is identified.
IMPRESSION: Nasogastric tube terminating in the stomach. No
convincing
evidence for small bowel obstruction. No free air identified.
___ CT abd/pelvis w/contrast
IMPRESSION:
1. Possible accessory pancreatic tissue along the medial wall
of the second
portion of the duodenum with mild narrowing of the duodenum at
this level. No
definite neoplasm, expansile lesion, or clearly circumferential
pancreatic
tissue noted. Short-term imaging followup should be considered
if duodenal
biopsy is negative. It is possible that MRCP may be
contributory regarding
any possible accessory pancreatic tissue or very subtle mass
lesion although a
neoplasm is doubted.
2. Fluid-filled distal esophagus may be related to reflux or
dysmotility or
may be secondary to mild obstruction to gastric outflow.
___ CXR
Heart size is normal. Mediastinum is slightly widened with
minimal deviation
of the trachea to the right, findings that potentially may be
explained by
distention of the aorta or other mediastinal vessels, but
assessment with
chest CT to exclude the possibility of lymphadenopathy in this
area is
required. Lungs are essentially clear with no evidence of
pneumonia. There
is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
___ EGD
Esophagitis (biopsy)
Abnormal mucosa in the stomach (biopsy, biopsy)
Normal mucosa in the whole duodenum
Narrowing between the bulb and D2
Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum

Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient after gastrointestinal
bleeding with fever, leukocytosis and cough.
AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed with no prior studies available for
comparison.
Heart size is normal. Mediastinum is slightly widened with minimal deviation
of the trachea to the right, findings that potentially may be explained by
distention of the aorta or other mediastinal vessels, but assessment with
chest CT to exclude the possibility of lymphadenopathy in this area is
required. Lungs are essentially clear with no evidence of pneumonia. There
is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Duodenal stricture noted on EGD. Assess for malignancy.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained from the suprasternal
notch to the pelvis after the administration of 150 cc of IV Omnipaque 350.
Oral VoLumen was received. Coronal and sagittal reformats were provided.
DLP: 816.36 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
CHEST: Limited assessment of the lung bases demonstrates bilateral lower lobe
atelectasis. Visualized heart and pericardium are unremarkable. No pleural
or pericardial effusion.
ABDOMEN: The liver is homogeneous in attenuation and normal in size. No
focal hepatic lesions. No intra- or extra-hepatic biliary duct dilatation.
The gallbladder is unremarkable without calcified gallstones. The hepatic
veins, main portal vein, SMV, and splenic vein are patent. The spleen is
homogeneous and normal in size. A small accessory spleen is noted. The
adrenal glands are unremarkable. Posssible accessory pancreatic tissue is
seen along the medial wall of the second portion of the duodenum (2:27) with
associated mild narrowing of the duodenum. No circumferential pancreatic
tissue noted to suggest annular pancreas. No pancreatic mass, peripancreatic
fluid collection or pancreatic ductal dilatation.
The stomach is mildly dilated and largely fluid-filled with associated
fluid-filled esophagus. The upper second portion of duodenum is focally
narrowed as described above without convincing evidence for expansile lesion
or adjacent mass. The remaining small bowel and colon are unremarkable
without mucosal hyperenhancement, fat stranding, focal mass lesion, or
obstruction. Sigmoid diverticulosis noted without evidence of acute
diverticulitis. No ascites, free intraperitoneal air, or abdominal wall
hernia. A 0.7 x 0.2 cm hyperdense focus within the appendiceal tail is
consistent with an appendicolith.
No retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymph node enlargement. The abdominal aorta
is normal in caliber without aneurysmal dilatation. The celiac axis, SMA,
___, and renal arteries are patent. No evidence of median arcuate ligament
syndrome.
PELVIS: The bladder and terminal ureters are unremarkable. No pelvic
sidewall or inguinal lymph node enlargement. No pelvic free fluid. The
prostate and seminal vesicles are unremarkable.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No focal lytic or blastic lesions concerning for
malignancy.
IMPRESSION:
1. Possible accessory pancreatic tissue along the medial wall of the second
portion of the duodenum with mild narrowing of the duodenum at this level. No
definite neoplasm, expansile lesion, or clearly circumferential pancreatic
tissue noted. Short-term imaging followup should be considered if duodenal
biopsy is negative. It is possible that MRCP may be contributory regarding
any possible accessory pancreatic tissue or very subtle mass lesion although a
neoplasm is doubted.
2. Fluid-filled distal esophagus may be related to reflux or dysmotility or
may be secondary to mild obstruction to gastric outflow.

ground emesis concerning for UGIB.
# Severe esophagitis c/b UGIB: patient underwent an EGD on ___
after presenting with coffee-ground emesis and was found to have
severe esophagitis, which is likely the source of his bleeding.
He was placed on carafate slurry for protection as well as
pantoprazole 40 mg BID. His H&H was trended daily and remained
stable.
#Duodenal stricture: based on results of EGD, concerning for
possible malignant process. On CT abd/pelvis, possible excess
pancreatic tissue compressing the duodenum. The patient was able
to eat well with no signs of obstruction. GI will arrange for a
follow-up appointment for consideration of an endoscopic
ultrasound (EUS).

COMPARISON: ___
FINDINGS:
AP upright and lateral views of the chest provided.
The heart appears top-normal in size. The lungs are clear without focal
consolidation, large effusion or pneumothorax. Mediastinal contour is normal.
Bony structures are intact. No free air below the right hemidiaphragm.
Vascular calcification is noted in the left upper quadrant.
IMPRESSION:
No acute findings.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with confusion // r/o intracranial hemorrhage
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images from skullbase to vertex were obtained
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also
performed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 1,003 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT head ___
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute territorial infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or
large mass. Hypodensity in the left posterior temporo/parietal/occipital
region is again seen, consistent with prior infarct. Smaller region of
encephalomalacia seen in the right parietal lobe as well, unchanged.
Periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are nonspecific,
but likely represent chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The ventricles and
sulci are normal in size and configuration.
No osseous abnormalities seen. There is a small mucous retention cyst in the
right maxillary sinus. The paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle
ear cavities are otherwise clear. The orbits are unremarkable.

temperature: 99.9
heartrate: 86.0
resprate: 18.0
o2sat: 99.0
sbp: 108.0
dbp: 63.0
level of pain: 0
level of acuity: 2.0 | ___ with hx of afib on warfarin, mild/moderate dementia with
impaired short term memory, brought to ED by family for
generalized weakness, most likely decompensated diastolic heart
failure in the setting of viral URI.
# Decompensated heart failure with a preserved EF:
Patient was noted to have new oxygen requirement on admission.
She also had lower extremity edema, bibasilar crackles, and
pulmonary edema on chest x-ray. This was likely due
decompensated diastolic heart failure in the setting of a viral
URI, as well as due to IV fluid. Likely also exacerbated by
atrial fibrillation with RVR. A TTE was performed that showed an
EF of ~50%, but was limited by afib with RVR. She received IV
furosemide for several days, with excellent urine output,
decrease in weight from 61kg to 54.5kg, and resolution of
hypoxia. After resolution of other issues that may have been
contributing to tachycardia, her metoprolol was increased to
improve heart rate control, and her furosemide was initiated
back at her home dose.
# Viral upper respiratory infection:
Patient's initial weakness and hypoxia was likely partially due
to viral upper respiratory infection. Patient had mild sore
throat and laryngitis, suggestive of viral infection. This was
improving, but not entirely resolved, at the time of discharge.
# Generalized weakness:
Most likely due to mild viral syndrome given diffuse weakness,
myalgias, laryngitis. Pt denies localizing symptoms to suggest
infectious etiology. CXR is without infiltrate, UA argues
against UTI. Abdominal exam is benign. She denies headache. With
respect to toxic metabolic etiologies, labs were unrevealing,
with TSH
1.1, without leukocytosis or significant uremia. Na is WNL. She
was not anemic. No focal neurologic deficits to suggest acute
cerebrovascular event. No ischemic changes on EKG.
# Atrial fibrillation:
CHADS2 is 4 (hypertension, age, prior CVA). ___ hospital
course significant for poorly controlled heart rate requiring
metoprolol titration. She remained asymptomatic throughout.
Metoprolol titrated up to total dose of 150mg daily. Continue to
titrate as necessary to achieve adequate heart rate control.
Consider adding additional agents if not adequately controlled.
Continued warfarin, but had to lower dose due to
supratherapeutic INR. Would monitor daily initially given labile
INR.
# ___: Baseline creatinine in ___ system appears to be
1.0-1.1, although she has had occasional values of 1.2-1.5.
Improved to 1.0 by the time of discharge.
# Dementia: Prior notes reference Aricept and Namenda, but
patient is no longer taking these medications due to side
effects.
# Parkinsonism: Pt has known gait disturbance and Parkinsonism
per prior ___ neurology notes. Per notes, prior adverse
reaction to Sinemet and this may not have helped her symptoms.
Per PCP, etiology is vascular Parkinsonism.
# Hypothyroidism: TSH 1.1.

notably
the right third toe was described as "closed without any
evidence of probing or drainage."
He was seen this morning (___) in Dr. ___ outpatient clinic
for scheduled follow-up of his pedal wounds and evaluation of
his
peripheral circulation. After seeing the wound on the right ___
toe, Dr. ___ Mr. ___ to the ___ and advised him
that he was concerned for osteomyelitis and amputation would
likely be required.
He denies pain at the wound site but does endorse occasional
"shooting" pain in both feet which he attributes to his diabetic
neuropathy. He also endorsed some pain in both feet when
walking.
He is a poor historian and difficult to interview. Early in the
conversation, he reports that he understood the plan at time of
leaving Dr. ___ however in the ___ the patient
contests
diagnosis of osteomyelitis and states that he has never been

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA chest pain and CT abdomen and pelvis
INDICATION: ___ man with inspiratory pain and dyspnea on exertion.
Evaluate for pulmonary embolus.
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast in the arterial
phase. Then, imaging was obtained through the abdomen and pelvis in the
portal venous phase. Reformatted coronal and sagittal images through the
chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and oblique maximal intensity projection images of
the chest were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 986 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: No prior dedicated chest CT is available on PACS at time this
dictation.
CT abdomen and pelvis dated ___.
FINDINGS:
CHEST:
The aorta and its major branch vessels are patent, with no evidence of
stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysmal formation. No evidence of
penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer or aortic arch atheroma present. Common
origin of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery is a normal
variant. The heart is mildly enlarged. A pericardial effusion is small.
The pulmonary arteries are well opacified to the subsegmental level, with no
evidence of filling defect within the main, right, left, lobar, segmental or
subsegmental pulmonary arteries. The main pulmonary artery is slightly
dilated, measuring 33 mm. The right pulmonary artery is normal in caliber. No
evidence of right heart strain.
No supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The
partially imaged thyroid gland appears unremarkable.
A 7-mm left apex parenchymal nodular opacity with internal focus of gas may
suggest cavitation (series 3, image 24), or potentially bronchiolectasis with
area of mucoid impaction/secretions or pulmonary nodule, less likely a septic
emboli in the appropriate clinical situation. Bilateral lower lobe
homogeneously enhancing parenchymal opacities are most consistent with
relaxation atelectasis. Similarly, a small area of homogeneously enhancing
parenchymal opacity in the lingula is consistent a nonobstructive atelectasis.
A right pleural effusion is small and nonhemorrhagic. A left pleural effusion
is trace and nonhemorrhagic. No pneumothorax. The airways are patent to at
least the subsegmental level. There may be mild centrilobular emphysema.
No osseous lesions concerning for malignancy or infection in the chest cage.
No evidence of an acute fracture. No soft tissue fluid collection in the
chest cage.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. No
evidence of focal lesions. No evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic
biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits.
PANCREAS: The pancreas is slightly atrophic. The pancreas has normal
attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal
dilatation. No peripancreatic stranding.
SPLEEN: The spleen is top-normal in size, measuring 12.8 cm on coronal images
(series 607b, image 40). The spleen is normal 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.
A left lower pole peripelvic cyst is small (series 607b, image 36) No evidence
of concerning focal renal lesions, hydronephrosis, or perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: A hiatal hernia is small (series 607b, image 28). No bowel
obstruction. Colonic diverticulosis is moderate. There is a moderate amount
of fluid in the ascending colon with mild surrounding fat stranding related to
the ruptured appendix. The ruptured appendix demonstrates a nonenhancing wall
within its proximal aspect, with the mid distal wall demonstrating a thickened
and hyperenhancing appearance.
An abscess in the right lower abdomen with air, fluid, and a thick enhancing
wall measures 6.9 x 6.3 x 6.8 cm and is centered about the ruptured appendix
(series 2b, image 168; series 608b, image 33). Within the abscess lies at
least 2 of the appendicoliths from the ruptured appendix (series 2b, image
171, 173). An adjacent more central fluid-filled, thick enhancing walled
abscess does not meet size criteria for drainage and measures 2.2 x 2.1 x 2.2
cm (series 2b, image 168; series 608b, image 44). In the pelvis, anterior to
the rectum there is another abscess measuring 8.1 x 5.4 x 7.4 cm (series 2b,
image 24; series 608b, image 34). There is moderate fat stranding. There is
small amounts of free fluid.
The adjacent distal ileum in the right lower abdomen has some reactive
inflammation. Small bowel loops are normal in caliber, wall thickness, and
enhancement.

noted.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: No evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute
fracture. Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine are mild. The abdominal
and pelvic wall is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. Re- demonstration of perforated appendicitis with multiple abscesses
within the lower abdomen and pelvis including a 6.9 x 6.3 x 6.8-cm abscess
within the right lower quadrant surrounding the ruptured appendix and
appendicoliths, an 8.1 x 5.4 x 7.4 cm pelvic abscess, and a 2.2 cm abscess
adjacent to the right lower quadrant abscess.
2. No pulmonary embolism or acute aortic pathology.
3. 7 mm left apex lung opacity with possible cavitation could be focal

intraabdominal collection // drainage
COMPARISON: CT performed on ___
PROCEDURE: CT-guided right lower quadrant abscess aspiration and drain
placement, pelvic abscess aspiration and drain placement, and midline/left
paramedian abscess aspiration.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___ trainee and Dr. ___
radiologist. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key
components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's
findings.
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were
explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written
consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers
was performed per ___ protocol.
The patient was placed in a supine position on the CT scan table. Limited
preprocedure CTscan of the lower abdomen was performed. A 6.9 cm right lower
quadrant abscess, a 2.2 cm left paramedian abscess, and a 8.0 cm deep pelvic
abscess were all noted. Based on the CT findings an appropriate position for
the right lower quadrant abscess aspiration and drain placement was chosen.
The site was marked.
The site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine
were administered to the subcutaneous and deep tissues for local anesthetic
effect. Under CT guidance, a 18 gauge ___ needle was introduced into the
abscess. A small amount of pus was aspirated to confirm location and a 035
___ wire was fed down the needle into the collection. The needle was
removed over the wire and an 8 ___ catheter was placed into the collection
over the wire. Approximately 120 cc of pus was aspirated and a sample was
sent for microbiology. Limited post CT was performed to confirm abscess cavity
had collapsed. This catheter was secured to the skin with a StatLock.
Subsequently an appropriate position for the left paramedian 2.2 cm aspiration
was chosen. The site was marked. The site was already prepped and draped. 1%
lidocaine were administered to the subcutaneous and deep tissues for local
anesthetic effect. Under CT guidance, a 18 gauge ___ needle was
introduced into the abscess. Approximately 4 cc of bloody and purulent fluid
was aspirated before no more could be aspirated. The needle was removed and
the aspirated purulent fluid was sent for microbiology. Limited post CT was
performed to confirm abscess cavity had collapsed.
Subsequently the patient was placed in the prone position on the CT scan
table. Limited preprocedure CT scan of the pelvis was performed. Based on
the CT findings in appropriate position to access the deep pelvic abscess was
chosen. The site was marked.
The site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine
were administered to the subcutaneous and deep tissues for local anesthetic
effect. Under CT guidance, a 18 gauge ___ needle was introduced into the
abscess from a right transgluteal approach. A small amount of pus was
aspirated to confirm location and a 035 ___ wire was fed down the needle
into the collection. The needle was removed over the wire and an 8 ___
catheter was placed into the collection over the wire. Approximately 100 cc
of pus was aspirated and a sample was sent for microbiology. Limited post CT
was performed to confirm abscess cavity had collapsed. This catheter was
secured to the skin.
The procedure was tolerated well and there were no immediate post-procedural
complications.

ERCP ___:
Impression: Periampullary diverticulum
Multiple large stones in the common bile duct. Diffuse dilation
of bile duct.
A pancreatic stent pancreatic stent was placed to facilitate

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ male with epigastric pain and possible diverticulitis,
for preliminary outside hospital read.
COMPARISON: Concurrent right upper quadrant ultrasound from ___
from outside hospital.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic
symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. Oral contrast was
administered. No intravenous contrast was given. Coronal and sagittal
reformations were prepared.
CT ABDOMEN WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: The lung bases are clear. There is
no focal pulmonary nodule, mass, or effusion. The imaged cardiac apex is
within normal limits.
Complete evaluation of the intraabdominal viscera is limited by the
non-contrast technique. However, the liver appears homogeneous without focal
lesion. There is moderate intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation.
Additionally, the common bile duct is markedly dilated with a hyperdense focus
seen distally, findings concerning for an obstructing stone (2:30 and 35).
The stone appears to measure 1.2 cm. The gallbladder appears mildly
distended, though no clear stones are seen within it. There is minimal
gallbladder wall thickening, though no surrounding fluid. The spleen,
pancreas, and adrenal glands are normal. There is cortical thinning of both
kidneys, findings suggestive of chronic kidney disease. A cystic lesion is
identified extending from the lower pole of the right kidney measuring 4.4 x
4.8 cm. No septation or nodularity is identified, however, attenuation values
are indeterminate, possibly representing a small amount of hemorrhage within a
simple cyst. Renal ultrasound is recommended for further characterization.
There is a moderate hiatal hernia. The stomach and small bowel loops are
normal in caliber and configuration without evidence of obstruction or
inflammation. The abdominal aorta and its branch vessels are densely
calcified, though non-aneurysmal. The appendix is contrast filled and normal
in appearance. There is no free fluid or free air. No pathologically
enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes are identified.
CT PELVIS WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: There are numerous sigmoid
diverticula and a focal area of fat stranding at the junction of the
descending colon and sigmoid colon, findings consistent with acute
diverticulitis (2:71). No extraluminal air or fluid collection is identified.
The remainder of the colon is normal without evidence of obstruction. The
prostate, seminal vesicles, and bladder appear unremarkable. There is no
pelvic free fluid.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No bone destructive lesion or acute fracture is
identified.
No coronal and sagittal reformats are available on this outside hospital CT.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate intra- and extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation with a 1.2-cm
hyperdense focus in the distal common bile duct, findings concerning for
choledocholithiasis.
2. Distended gallbladder with mild wall thickening though no stones within
it.
3. Mild uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis.
4. Moderate hiatal hernia.
5. 4.8-cm indeterminant cystic lesion arising from the lower pole of the
right kidney. No complex features identified, however, attenuation values are
indeterminate. Followup non-emergent renal ultrasound is recommended for
further characterization as this lesion was not completely characterized on
recent outside hospital right upper quadrant ultrasound.
Acute findings regarding biliary obstruction and diverticulitis were discussed
with the surgical team including Dr. ___ at 2:45 p.m. on ___ in
person by Dr. ___.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Chest pain, to assess for pneumonia.
FINDINGS: No previous images. Relatively low lung volumes may account for

Chief Complaint:
Left facial numbness/tingling, word finding difficulties
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ yo RH M with h/o HCV, IVDU, psychosis, and
recent admission (___) for cryptogenic stroke presumed
multi-embolic to several vascular distributions in right
hemisphere in setting of +PFO and hyper-homocysteinemia, who now
re-presents to ___ ED with new neurologic symptoms concerning
for recurrent ischemic event.
Of note, patient was last hospitalized from ___ at ___
for multiple embolic strokes to right ACA, MCA and PCA
distribution. He was initially transferred here from ___
___, where he was being treated for new-onset psychosis,
atraumatic falls and left-sided weakness of unknown etiology.
MRI on ___ revealed multiple sub-acute right-sided embolic
strokes per above. An extensive vascular, imaging, cardiac, CSF
and hypercoagulability workup were performed to find the
etiology/source of his emboli; all were negative with the
exception of the following: (1) PFO was found on TEE, and (2)
hyper-homocysteinemia (43 mmol/L, normal is ___ mmol/L) was
detected on hypercoagulability workup. He was started on ASA
81mg daily, folate/B6/B12 (given hyper-homocysteinemia), and
risperdal (for new psychosis r/t ?BPD) during hospitalization.
Patient also was newly diagnosed with HCV during
hospitalization. He was discharged to ___, where he
remained for two weeks and was then discharge home. Neuro exam
on discharge from ___ was notable only for mild motor-planning
difficulties in the left arm and leg and mild anomia.
TODAY, he returns to our ED due to a transient language symptom
two days ago (___) as well as left facial tingling and
numbness that has persisted since that time. He had been in his
USOH at home over the past two weeks, though still not back to
work. On ___, he was sitting at home, watching TV when he
noticed a tingling sensation spread over his Left face. The
tingling was
centered over the left cheek. Rubbing his cheek with his hand
temporarily reduces the abnormal sensation. Also, that same
afternoon, he developed difficulty with word-finding. He says
that he was intermittently "stumbling over words" when he spoke.
Unlike the L-facial symptom, this language
symptom was transient. He did not notice it yesterday or today.
He now presents to the ED accompanied by his mother, who
insisted he re-present out of concern this could be a new
stroke.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Denies headache, visual change, dysarthria,
dysphagia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus. Denies weakness.
Denies sensory changes anywhere but the left face. Denies bowel
or bladder incontinence or retention. Denies difficulty with
coordination or gait. Agrees that fine movements of left hand
may be slightly impaired relative to prior to 1mo ago, but says
this
does not impair anything he does. He is more concerned about the
exacerbation of his tremor. Denies chest pain, SOB, abdominal
pain, nausea/vomiting, rash.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ man, with history of IV drug use, PFO, hepatitis C,
presenting with recent multifocal embolic right hemispheric infarct on
___. Now returning with increased word finding difficulty. Assess for
acute intracranial abnormality.
COMPARISON: MR head on ___ and CT head on ___.
TECHNIQUE:
NON-CONTRAST CT HEAD: Non-contrast MDCT images were acquired through the
head. Multiplanar reformatted images were obtained for evaluation.
CTA HEAD AND NECK: Shortly after administration of IV contrast, MDCT images
were acquired from the aortic arch to the circle of ___ per CTA head and
neck protocol. Multiplanar reformatted images were obtained for evaluation.
Additionally, 3D rendering was performed in the imaging lab to facilitate
further assessment of the underlying vasculature.
FINDINGS:
NON-CONTRAST CT HEAD: There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage. Compared to
the prior CT head on ___, encephalomalacic changes are more
prominent in the right cingulate gyrus, right frontal and parietal lobes,
expected evolution of the known multifocal embolic infarctions. A rounded
hypodensity in the right caudate head is unchanged and represents an old
infarct. There is no shift of normally midline structures. The gray-white
matter differentiation is overall preserved. There is no acute skull
fracture. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.
CTA HEAD: Major intracranial vessels are patent. Of note, there is a triplex
appearance of the A2 segments, with fenestration seen at the left lateral
aspect of the anterior communicating artery, without an aneurysm. There is
also a patulous basilar tip due to a conjoint infundibulum giving rise to the
left posterior cerebral artery and left superior cerebellar artery. A small
infundibulum is noted at the origin of the right superior cerebellar artery.
There is no aneurysm greater than 3 mm. No flow-limiting stenosis or vascular
malformation is noted.
CTA NECK: Major cervical arterial vasculature is also patent. There is a
normal three-vessel aortic arch. There is no significant atherosclerotic
disease involving either the carotid or vertebral arteries.
Dmin measures 8mm and 5mm in the proximal and distal right internal carotid
artery, respectively.
Dmin measures 7mm and 5mm in the proximal and distal left internal carotid
artery, respectively.
The visualized lung apices and cervical soft tissues are unremarkable. There
is a small posterior disc-osteophyte complex at C5-6, but without significant
spinal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.
IMPRESSION:
1. Expected interval encephalomalacic change from the known right hemispheric
multifocal embolic infarcts.
2. No acute intracranial hemorrhage.
3. Major cervical and intracranial vessels patent, with no intracranial
aneurysm larger than 2 mm, flow-limiting stenosis, or significant
atherosclerotic disease and anatomic variants, as noted.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ man with known history of embolic stroke. Now increased
word finding difficulty for two days. Left facial and left upper extremity
sensory symptoms. Concern for right corona radiata, parietal S1 cortex, and
posterior thalamus abnormality.
COMPARISON: CTA head on ___ and MR ___ on ___.
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images were acquired
through the head. Diffusion-weighted images and ADC maps were also acquired.
FINDINGS: The known multifocal right hemispheric embolic infarcts,
predominately in the right cingulate gyrus, right frontal and parietal lobes,
show interval decrease in T2/FLAIR signal abnormality, decreased DWI
hyperintensity, and decreased ADC hypointensity, consistent with their
expected evolution. There is also interval progression of encephalomalacia.
Subtle cortical intrinsic T1-hyperintensity, without definite CT correlate,
likely represents early mineralization at sites of cortical "pseudolaminar"
necrosis. There is focal encephalomalacia in the right caudate head,
unchanged.
No new focus of restricted diffusion is noted to suggest acute infarction. On
the T2*-weighted images, there is no evidence of old blood products.
The ventricles and sulci remain grossly symmetric. There is no shift of
normally midline structures. The gray-white matter differentiation is
overall preserved. The prominent retrocerebellar CSF space, unchanged, likely
represents megacisterna magna variant. Major intracranial vessel flow voids
are preserved. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are
clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Expected evolution of the known right hemispheric multifocal embolic
infarcts.
2. No evidence of acute infarction or intracranial hemorrhage.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Mr. ___ was admitted to the Stroke service for further imaging
and work-up of his new neuro symptoms. CTA head/neck were
performed, showing expected encephalomalacia secondary to his
prior right hemispheric strokes but no acute ICH or
cervical/intracranial vessel aneurysm/flow limiting
stenosis/significant atherosclerotic disease. MRI showed no
acute stroke on DWI/ADC; only expected evolution of prior
stroke. The following morning, patient's subtle neuro deficits
had resolved on exam, with the exception of mildly INCREASED
sensation to pinprick on his left face. Given his symptom
improvement and unchanged imaging, it was suspected that he had
likely had a TIA. In the setting of his risk factors for
recurrent stroke -- specifically the PFO and his
hyperhomocysteinemia -- his ASA was increased from 81mg to 325mg
daily. His folic acid/B6/B12 were continued. The patient was
also strongly advised to never use anabolic steroids again (has
h/o abuse in the past) as this too increases his coagulopathic
state. Finally, the possibility of future percutaneous PFO
closure was raised and discussed extensively with patient. Given
that he is in a population not studied in the CLOSURE trial
(hypercoagulable patients), and has increased risk of paradoxic
embolism with Valsalva given his hobby of weightlifting, he
could potentially be a good candidate for PFO closure. He will
follow up as an outpatient with Dr. ___ cardiac surgery
and his neurologist Dr. ___ to continue exploring this
option.

level of pain: 0
level of acuity: 2.0 | Ms. ___ is a ___ G1P0 admitted to the postpartum
service from the emergency department after being diagnosed with
an intrauterine fetal demised with presumed septic abortion.
She presented at 9w2d by LMP with two weeks of nausea and
vomiting. Her LMP, however, was unclear due to irregular menses.
In the emergency department, she was afebrile with tachycardia
ranging from 112-161 with otherwise normal vital signs including
a normal blood pressure. Her abdomen was non-tender and
non-distended with no rebound or guarding. Speculum exam showed
no evidence of blood in the vault and a closed cervix. There was
no adnexal tenderness or fundal tenderness.
Labs were done in the emergency room which were significant for
a leukocytosis of 16.0 and a lactate of 2.9. Urine toxicology
screen was negative. A TSH was drawn and was pending upon
admission. Electrolytes were significant for a potassium of 2.4,
sodium 127, a chloride of 77, bicarbonate of 27, creatinine of
1.0, and an anion gap of 25. A pelvic ultrasound was done which
demonstrated no cardiac activity. Fetal biometry was not done
but visually the fetus appeared to be in the ___ trimester.
Bedside transabdominal ultrasound done once patient was admitted
showed a fetus roughly 13 weeks in gestational age.
In the emergency room, she was aggressively fluid resuscitated
and received 1g ceftriaxone for presumed early sepsis. Her
potassium was repleted and she was started on fluids with
potassium supplementation.
OB/GYN was consulted who recommended starting ampicillin and
gentamicin for a presumed septic abortion in the setting of an
undiagnosed IUFD of unclear length of time. An immediate
dilation and evacuation was recommended. The patient was made
NPO, started on antibiotics, and continued on fluids and
admitted to the postpartum service for further management. MFM
was consulted and the patient underwent an uncomplicated
dilation and evacuation. Patient's blood type was B positive so
Rhogam was not indicated. Her pain was controlled with oral pain
medications of Tylenol and ibuprofen.
She was treated with ampicillin, gentamicin, and clindamycin for
48 hours post-procedure. She was transitioned to oral
levofloxacin and flagyl for an additional 10 days. She was
continued on 20mEq potassium D5LR until her resolution of her
hypokalemia. Electrolytes were trended and repleted prn.
Labs were trended which were notable for a resolved hypokalemia
with a serum potassium of 3.6, a resolved leukocytosis with a
white count of 7.5, and a resolving lactate of 2.9 down from
5.2. Chlamydia culture returned as positive for which she was
treated with a 1g does of PO Azithromycin.
Thoughout her hospitalization she remained persistently
tachycardia ranging from the 100-120s with episodes up to the
150s with ambulation despite aggressive fluid hydration and
antibiotic treatment of her infection. Thyroid function tests
were done which were significant for a TSH of 0.01 and an
elevated free T4 of 3.6.
A full panel of thyroid function tests were performed which were
consistent with hyperthyroidism likely secondary to hyperemesis
gravidarum secondary to severe nausea for the past month. On
exam, she was euthyroid with no signs of Grave's disease
including ophthalmopathy. FT4 and TT3 improved after the D&E;
TPO, anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, TSI and TBII all returned as
negative further suggesting against Grave's disease and favoring
hyperemesis as the likely etiology. She was started on 25mg of
Atenolol for heart rate control and discharged home with
recommendation to follow-up with Endocrinology within one week
of discharge.
By postoperative day 3, she was tolerating a regular diet,
ambulating independently, and pain was controlled with oral
medications. She was afebrile with stable vital signs. She was
then discharged home in stable condition with outpatient
follow-up scheduled. |

Radiology Report
PA AND LATERAL CHEST OF ___
COMPARISON: ___ chest x-ray.
FINDINGS: Cardiac silhouette is mildly enlarged and has minimally increased
in size since the previous study. Additionally, there has been slight
increase in caliber of the pulmonary vessels which appear indistinct and are
accompanied by peribronchial cuffing and a bilateral interstitial pattern with
a basilar predominance. Upper lobe predominant emphysema is again
demonstrated as well as an area of linear scarring in the left upper lobe. In
addition to bilateral interstitial opacities, heterogeneous, more confluent
areas of opacity have developed at the bases, greater than right. No definite
pleural effusion, but there is slight thickening of the fissures bilaterally.
IMPRESSION: New radiographic findings which could reflect an asymmetrical
pattern of congestive heart failure superimposed upon chronic emphysema.
Coexisting pneumonia should be considered, especially particularly in the left
lower lobe. Followup chest radiograph after diuresis may be helpful for
initial further evaluation.

Imaging:
-TTE (___):
The left atrium is moderately dilated. No atrial septal defect
is seen by 2D or color Doppler. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is low normal (LVEF 50-55%). The
right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with borderline
normal free wall function. The ascending aorta is mildly
dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally
normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or
aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Mild to moderate (___) mitral regurgitation is seen.
There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There
is no pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,

total knee arthroplasty without evidence of hardware failure or
loosening. Assessment of the left hip joint is limited by body
habitus. Allowing for this limitation, there are some mild
degenerative changes with osteophytosis and subchondral
sclerosis. No evidence of fracture. There are some vascular
calcifications seen throughout the thigh.
-CXR ___: post PICC placement): In comparison with the
study of ___, there has been placement of a left subclavian
PICC line that extends to the mid to lower portion of the SVC.
This information was conveyed to ___, a venous access nurse.

level of pain: nan
level of acuity: nan | ___ with dCHF, HTN, HLD, CAD, CKD, AF on warfarin who presents
with dyspnea and chest pain, found to have HCAP with septic
shock requiring intubation, septic arthritis of the left knee
s/p washout, and supratherapeutic INR.
ACUTE ISSUES
#Healthcare associated pneumonia complicated by septic shock and
hypoxic respiratory failure:
Patient presenting with dyspnea and found to have LLL pneumonia,
treated empirically for HCAP with vancomycin, cefepime, and
levofloxacin. Upon presentation in the ED, the patient was
intubated for hypoxic, hypercarbic respiratory failure. Patient
developed hypotension refractory to volume resuscitation and was
started on pressors with the presumed etiology being pneumonia
vs. septic arthritis. Patient was successfully extubated with
stabilization of his hemodynamic status. The patient completed a
full course for HCAP during his hospitalization.
#Septic arthritis:
Patient reportedly had knee pain prior to admission, was found
to have WBC 15,000 on arthrocentesis, though no culture growth.
Patient taken to the OR by Orthopedics on ___ for washout.
Patient previously had knee replacement in the same joint.
Culture of the intraarticular material from the washout grew
enterococcus. The patient had a PICC line placed and was started
on vancomycin. Infectious Disease was consulted and recommended
a beta-lactam antibiotic citing evidence that beta-lactams had
superior outcomes, but transition to a beta-lactam was limited
to the patient's reported penicillin allergy. Allergy evaluation
and testing was arranged for after hospitalization with the plan
of undergoing penicillin allergy testing, and if possible,
transition to a beta-lactam. IV antibiotics required for an
extended duration, likely six weeks. The patient has also been
arranged for Orthopedics follow-up.
#Metabolic Encephalopathy:
Patient had episodes of confusion after extubation while in the
ICU which persisted during his stay on the general medicine
floor. This was attributed to his hospital stay as well as his
infection. The patient did require occasional antipsychotics for
agitation. His delirium improved during the course of his stay,
though at discharge, was still off from baseline. The patient
was started on standing qhs olanzapine with improvement in his
agitation.
#Rash:
Patient found to have a maculopapular rash with excoriations on
his back. Given the distribution, it was thought that this
represented a dermatitis from being in bed. Other etiologies
considered included drug rash, though the distribution favored a
contact-type etiology. The patient was trialed on topical
corticosteroid during his stay.
#Chest pain:
Patient reported chest pain upon admission in setting of known
CAD. His troponin was found to be mildly elevated to 0.02, but
remained stable with normal MB component. Given the stability in
the enzymes and lack of EKG changes, there was low suspicion for
ACS.
CHRONIC ISSUES
#CKD Stage 3:
Patient with known chronic kidney disease, with baseline
creatinine of 1.5. During hospital course, creatinine rose to
2.9, likely secondary to ATN in setting of hypotension. His
creatinine improved over the course of his hospital stay.
#Afib on warfarin:
Rate well controlled during his stay. The patient was continued
on his rate-control and anticoagulant agents.
#Chronic Diastolic CHF:
Patient with known diastolic dysfunction. The patient was
continued on an adjusted course of torsemide, though metolazone
and spironolactone was held with no evidence of volume overload.
These agents might need to be added in the future should he
develop symptoms of fluid overload.
#Gout:
Patient with history of gout, continued on home allopurinol.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
-Patient will continue on IV antibiotics for extended period,
please maintain PICC until course complete.
-Patient will follow-up in ___ clinic. Please send weekly CBC
with differential, chem-7, vancomycin trough (prior to dose) and
ESR/CRP faxed to ___.
-Patient has an Allergy appointment scheduled in early ___,
please notify ID at ___ once the testing is complete.
-Patient CANNOT have antihistamines one week prior to allergy
testing (montelukast is OK) as this will affect the test.
-Please discontinue the olanzapine once the patient's delirium
resolves. |

EXAMINATION: MR CERVICAL SPINE W/O CONTRAST ___ MR ___ SPINE
INDICATION: *** CODE CORD *** History: ___ with fall hyperextension IV
contrast to be given at radiologist discretion as clinically needed// code
cord, hyperextension, rule out central cord code cord, hyperextension,
rule out central cord
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique.
Axial T2 and gradient echo imaging were next performed.
COMPARISON: Outside hospital CT cervical spine of ___.
FINDINGS:
2 mm retrolisthesis of C3 on C4 is degenerative. A very subtle fracture cleft
is identified along the anterior superior margin of C6 associated with a
minimally displaced osteophyte seen on outside hospital CT cervical spine.
___ type 2 C3-C4 endplate changes and ___ type 1 C7-T1 endplate changes
are identified. No marrow edema pattern is identified to suggest additional
fractures. The marrow signal is diffusely T1 isointense to the disc, which
may be seen in setting of marrow reconversion with chronic anemia.
2 mm prevertebral soft tissue swelling/fluid is compatible with ligamentous
injury of the anterior longitudinal ligament prominent presumably associated
with the C6 osteophyte fracture.
There is highly equivocal increased central cord signal at C3-C4 on STIR
imaging that is not confirmed on sagittal or axial T2 imaging.
The posterior longitudinal ligaments, tectorial ligament, ligamentum flavum
and interspinous ligaments appear intact. Trace fluid signal at the
craniocervical junction is likely degenerative in nature.
C2-C3: No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing.
C3-C4: A large intervertebral osteophyte and disc protrusion results in severe
spinal canal narrowing, remodeling the cord. Uncovertebral and facet
arthropathy results in severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
C4-C5: A small protrusion does not significantly narrow the spinal canal.
Uncovertebral and facet arthropathy results in severe bilateral neural
foraminal narrowing greater on the right.
C5-C6: Small central protrusion does not narrow the spinal canal.
Uncovertebral and facet arthropathy results in severe bilateral neural
foraminal narrowing.
C6-C7: No significant spinal canal narrowing. Uncovertebral and facet
arthropathy results in moderate left-greater-than-right neural foraminal
narrowing.
C7-T1: No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing.
The visualized posterior fossa is unremarkable. No epidural collections are
identified. No definite cord signal abnormality.
IMPRESSION:
1. Minimally displaced subtle fracture through a C6 superior endplate anterior
marginal osteophyte with associated prevertebral soft tissue edema. This
presumably injure is a the anterior longitudinal ligament at this level.
2. There is highly equivocal increased cord signal at C3-C4 on STIR imaging,
not confirmed on sagittal or axial T2 imaging. This is felt likely to be
artifactual however correlation with clinical symptoms is recommended.
3. Multilevel degenerative changes are most prominent at C3-C4 where there is
severe spinal canal narrowing, remodeling the cord. Bilateral severe neural
foraminal narrowing is seen at C3-C4 through C5-C6.
4. No ligamentous injury involving the tectorial membrane, posterior
longitudinal ligaments, ligamentum flavum or interspinous ligaments. The
paraspinal muscles appear unremarkable.
5. Additional findings described above.

COMPARISON: CT head from outside facility ___
FINDINGS:
There are minimally displaced, comminuted fractures of the bilateral nasal
bones and frontal processes of the bilateral maxillae (02:46). There is a
minimally depressed fracture through the left orbital floor which extends into
the left infraorbital canal. Medial bowing of the left lamina papyracea
likely represents a nondisplaced fracture. There is radiopaque debris within
the bilateral nares. There is mild soft tissue swelling along the nose.
There is near complete opacification of the left frontal sinus and left
anterior ethmoid air cells with hyperdense blood products. There is mild
mucosal thickening in the left greater than right maxillary sinuses. There is
mild mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinuses bilaterally and in the right
frontal sinus.
There is a large defect involving the cartilaginous and anterior bony nasal
septum. There is rightward deviation of the remaining bony nasal septum. The
left inferior turbinate is eroded. The hard palate demonstrates several areas
of bony dehiscence.
The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear bilaterally.

level of pain: 4
level of acuity: 1.0 | Mr. ___ presented to the Emergency Department on ___ as a
trauma activation as described in the HPI above. He was
evaluated immediately upon arrival. Between ___ and our
institution he received CT head, CT C-spine, CT chest, CT
maxillofacial/sinus, and MR of the C/T/L spines. His injuries
were found to be a right perineal/scrotal laceration, nasal bone
fractures, left orbital floor fracture without entrapment, left
lamina papyracea fracture, C3-C4 narrowing felt to be possibly
degenerative changes however with clinical symptoms most
consistent with central cord syndrome, C6 superior endplate
fracture, and scalp abrasion with underlying hematoma.
Neuro/MSK: The patient was alert and awake throughout his
hospitalization with appropriate mental status. He was seen by
neurosurgery and ___ for his central cord syndrome and C6
superior endplate fracture. He was initially admitted to the ICU
for pressor support to achieve MAP goal of >85 while awaiting
final determination of whether he had any spinal cord injury.
Ultimately the spine service determined that he should be
managed with at least 1 month of cervical collar, outpatient
f/u, and required no logroll precautions or elevated MAP goal;
he will follow up as an outpatient and may be a candidate for
elective surgery for his C3-C4 area of narrowing. He was
therefore transferred from the ICU to the floor on hospital day
2. His symptoms gradually improved over the course of his
hospitalization and at discharge he was ambulating independently
with improved motor control of his upper extremities. He
continued to have paresthesias and some weakness of his arms and
hands. Occupational Therapy worked with him multiple times and
recommended additional rehabilitation.
His pain was managed with IV medications and subsequently
transitioned to PO medications. At his request, narcotics were
minimized given his prior history of substance use disorders. He
was also noted to have facial fractures as above for which
plastic surgery was consulted; they recommended elevating HOB
and conservative management.
CV: The patient remained stable from a cardiovascular
standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored.
Pulmonary: The patient remained stable from a pulmonary
standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. Good pulmonary
toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirometry were
encouraged throughout hospitalization.
GI/GU/FEN: He was seen by urology in the ED for his complex
scrotal and perineal laceration; his testicle was determined not
to be violated and they recommended washout and repair per ACS
vs. plastic surgery. He was therefore taken to the operating
room early in the morning on ___ for washout, drain placement,
and closure of his scrotal and perineal laceration. There were
no adverse events in the operating room; please see the
operative note for details. Pt was extubated, taken to the PACU
until stable, then transferred to the ICU for observation.
After leaving the operating room, diet was advanced sequentially
to a regular diet, which was well tolerated. Patient's intake
and output were closely monitored. His Foley catheter was
removed and bladder scans were monitored in case of any
neurogenic bladder issues; he was able to void successfully and
spontaneously.
ID: The patient's fever curves were closely watched for signs of
infection, of which there were none. He received 5 days of Ancef
for his contaminated scrotal laceration. On discharge he was
transitioned to Keflex to complete the 5 day course.
HEME: The patient's blood counts were closely watched for signs
of bleeding, of which there were none.
Prophylaxis: The patient received subcutaneous heparin and
venodyne boots were used during this stay and was encouraged to
get up and ambulate as early as possible.
At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile
and hemodynamically stable. The patient was tolerating a diet,
ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well
controlled. The patient received discharge teaching and
follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and
agreement with the discharge plan. |

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPHS
HISTORY: Bilateral lower extremity edema and shortness of breath with chest
pain.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, PA and lateral.
FINDINGS: The heart is mildly enlarged. The lung volumes are low. There are
small bilateral pleural effusions, which are best depicted on the lateral
view. A band-like opacity in the right mid lung suggests minor atelectasis or
scarring. Elsewhere, the lungs appear clear.
IMPRESSION: Small bilateral pleural effusions; these appear decreased,
however, since the most recent prior examination.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with pleuritic chest pain and hypoxia concerning
for PE, evaluate legs for DVT.
COMPARISON: No previous exams for comparison.
FINDINGS:
Grayscale, color Doppler images were obtained of bilateral common femoral,
superficial femoral, popliteal, peroneal and posterior tibial veins. There is
occlusive thrombus seen within the two peroneal veins of the right calf.
These veins do not compress and do not demonstrate vascular flow. Normal
flow, compression and augmentation is seen in the remainder of the veins of
the right leg. Normal flow compression and augmentation is seen in the veins
of the left leg.
IMPRESSION:
Deep vein thrombosis seen within the two peroneal veins of the right calf. No
additional DVT identified.
Findings of right calf DVT were discovered at 12:45 on ___ and were
conveyed by telephone to Dr. ___ at 14:14 on the same day.
Radiology Report
RENAL ULTRASOUND
CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ female with known polycystic renal disease
and now recent further creatinine elevation and a recent pulmonary embolus.
Both kidneys are markedly enlarged and most of the renal parenchyma has been
replaced by innumerable cysts. The right kidney measures 16.7 cm in length.
The left kidney is approximately 21 cm in length. Current renal sizes are
substantially increased compared to a prior ultrasound on ___ where the
right kidney measured 14.6 cm and the left kidney 16.3 cm.
Centrally in the mid portion of the right kidney there is a 1.1-cm stone or
calcification, but there are no signs of hydronephrosis.
Color flow and pulse Doppler waveform analysis shows normal acceleration times
in the right and left main renal arteries as well as normal peak velocities of
approximately 90 cm/sec on the right and 70 cm/sec on the left. Intrarenal
Doppler waveforms show slightly elevated resistive indices ranging from
0.78-0.81 on the right side and 0.75-0.77 on the left side. Renal venous
drainage is normal bilaterally.
Views of the bladder are unremarkable.
CONCLUSION: Polycystic renal disease with further enlargement of the kidneys
since ___ but no evidence of obstruction or abnormal vascular flow in the
main renal arteries.
Radiology Report
STUDY: AP chest ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: Patient with hypoxemia. Evaluate for consolidation or
effusion.
FINDINGS: Comparison is made to prior study from ___.
There has been development of large bilateral pleural effusions, right side
worse than left. There is some mild pulmonary edema. No pneumothoraces are
seen. The heart size is enlarged. Consolidation at the left base is not
excluded.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ woman with a history of polycystic kidney disease with
congenital hepatic fibrosis admitted with a pulmonary embolism. Please
evaluate for pleural effusion, parenchymal disease, or pulmonary hemorrhage.
COMPARISON: CT scan of the chest from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images through the chest were performed without
IV or oral contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were also
obtained. Total exam DLP equals 561.54 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy is identified.
The heart is normal in size. There is a small simple pericardial effusion.
The aorta and main pulmonary artery are normal in size.
The central tracheobronchial tree is patent. There is a right pleural
effusion with associated atelectasis of the right lower lobe. There is a
small amount of fluid in the right major fissure as well. There is a small
left simple pleural effusion.
Evaluation of the upper abdomen demonstrates marked heterogeneity of the liver
with scattered hypodensities throughout the parenchyma that are difficult to
characterize on a non-contrast CT scan, however, these likely correlate with
cysts as seen on prior MRI of the abdomen. Multiple prominent varices are
seen throughout the upper abdomen. Evaluation for portal vein patency is not
possible on this noncontrast study.
Innumerable cysts are seen in both kidneys, some of which demonstrate high
density suggesting a more complex nature.
No lytic or blastic lesions are seen within the visualized osseous bones.
IMPRESSION:
1. Increasing right pleural effusion with associated atelectasis of the right
lower lobe.
2. Increasing but small simple pericardial effusion.
3. Bilateral cystic renal disease, some of which demonstrates a complex
nature and would be better characterized on ultrasound.
4. Hepatic hypodensities consistent with innumerable cysts as seen on prior
MRI. Prominent varices presumably due to portal hypertension. Patency of
portal vein limited on this noncontrast study.

presented from rehab with chest pain x 2 days, found to have RLE
DVT, now heparinized and with course complicated by acute on
chronic renal insufficiency, hypovolemic hyponatremia and a
decreased hematocrit.
# RLE DVT and likely PE: The patient was found to have RLE DVT
and given her presentation, likely that she has a PE; CTA was
deferred given her renal function. The patient was started on a
heparin drip; heme was consulted and said that a heparin drip
was ok in the setting of her thrombocytopenia. The patient as
monitored on tele. Her chest pain improved while she was
continued on her heparin drip. She was also using supplemental
O2 as needed for comfort. Her initial trops were 0.06-0.07 ___K-MB and there was no new ischemic changes on EKG or RV
strain. The patient was ultimately bridged with heparing to
warfarin with goal of being therapeutic with INR ___ for 2 days
on both heparin and warfarin. She was discharged on warfarin.
# Right sided pleural effusion: ddx includes secondary to
pulmonary embolism or fluid overload from MICU stay. Patient
deferred thoracentesis and preferred instead to followup with
interventional pulmonology as outpatient. She had no fevers or
leukocytosis suggestive of empyema. She will have follow-up
with interventional pulmonology to monitor this issue.
# hyponatremia: The patient developed hyponatremia during this
hospitalization, with nadir of 125 without any neurologic
symptoms. Unclear etiology. Renal was consulted and was
thought that this could be due to consumption of large amount of
free water, although exact etiology of her hyponatremia remains
unknown. The patient did ultimately improve with addition of
salt tablet, blood products, and free water restriction.
# Anemia: The patient was found to have decreased hematocrit a
few days into her treatment with heparin drip. No obvious
source of bleeding was identified. She was transferred 2U PRBC
after which hematocrits remained stable.
# recurrent clots: The patient has history of multiple clots in
the past, including DVT in the setting of OCPs and smoking s/p
coumadin, arterial thrombus and PICC associated clot, both
occurring on her previous admission, and now with likely PE.
The patient was found to have positive lupus anticoagulant on
last admission. Heme was consulted and the lupus anticoagulant,
anti cardiolipin antibody, and anti phospholipid panel were
sent. The patient will follow up as an outpatient with
hematology to determine the duration of her anticoagulation, and
ultimately discuss whether lifetime anticoagulation is
indicated.
# hypotension: The patient was triggered for hypotension
initially on the floor, was thought to be related to IV pain
medications, as well as possible vasovagal episode. Pressures
were otherwise stable during the admission, and she was started
back on low dose metoprolol. Her lisinopril was held in the
setting ___ (see below). She was also monitored on tele.
# CAD s/p STEMI: During recent hospitalization found to have
STEMI, subsequent ECHO with EF of 40% with systolic dysfunction.
EKG on this admission with no new ischemic changes, CK-MBs
flat, trops 0.06-0.07 in the setting of her CKD. The patient
was continued on her ASA. Her metoprolol and lisinopril were
both initially held. The patient's metoprolol was restarted a
lower dose, but her lisinopril was held in the setting of ___.
She was continued on her atorvastatin 80 mg daily.
# thrombocytopenia: Likely in the setting of her congential
hepatic fibrosis and resulting portal HTN and splenomegaly. As
per heme recommendations, it was ok to start heparin drip in the
setting of thrombocytopenia.
___ in setting of PCKD: The patient has baseline creat
1.7-1.9, but notable for fluctuance in the past. Creat bumped
to 3.2, renal U/S and doppler flow reassuring. Creat was
trended and medications were renally dosed, and nephrotoxic
agents were avoided. Upon discharge, the patient's creat had
returned to its baseline.
# congenital hepatic fibrosis: The patient has history of
congenital hepatic fibrosis complicated by portal HTN, 2 cords
of grade 1 esophageal varices, and splenomegaly. While she was
anticoagulations, she was monitored for s/s of bleeding.
# Depression/anxiety: The patient was continued on her home
buproprion and sertraline. |

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a ___ year old female with a history of AFib on
Warfarin, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia now with unstable
angina and an abnormal stress test yesterday at ___.
She first noted the onset of chest pain about two weeks ago.
She describes it as a central chest tightness without radiation
that comes on with minimal exertion and goes away after a few
minutes of rest. It is associated with dyspnea. Over the same
time period, she was having increased symptoms from her atrial
fibrillation with palpitations and tachycardia. Her Metoprolol
succinate dose was increased from 100 mg PO daily to 150 mg PO
daily and then to 200 mg PO daily. She saw her cardiologist,
Dr. ___ also arranged for a stress test at ___
___. The stress test was abnormal, and she was sent to the
___ for further evaluation. She was then transferred to
___ for further care.
.
In the ___ ___, she denied any current chest pain, tightness,
or dyspnea at rest. Initial vital signs were T 97.3, HR 90, BP
158/93, RR 16, and SpO2 100% on 2L. Labs were notable for
initial Troponin 0.01, second Troponin 0.02, mildly elevated K
5.4, and INR 1.6 below goal (held for likely cath). CXR showed
moderate cardiomegaly without edema. EKG showed atrial
fibrillation at 109 bpm, NA, NI, and nonspecific inferior ST-T
changes. She was seen by Cardiology in the ___, who recommended
admission and likely cardiac cath on ___.
.
She was admitted to Cardiology for further management of
unstable angina with positive stress testing. Vitals prior to
floor transfer were T 97.7 po, HR 103, BP 137/78, RR 28, and
SpO2 97% on RA. On arrival to the floor, she reported feeling
well with no current symptoms. In particular, cardiac review of
systems was negative for current chest pain or dyspnea,
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, palpitations, syncope,
or presyncope. She does have mild ___ edema for which she takes
Furosemide 40 mg PO PRN. She has not needed any recently. When
tachycardic from her atrial fibrillation, she sometimes feels
palpitations, but does not have any currrently.
.
On further review of systems, she denies any prior history of
stroke, TIA, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism,
bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, cough, hemoptysis,
black stools, or red stools. She denies recent fevers, chills,
or rigors. She denies exertional buttock or calf pain.

CXR (___):
PA AND LATERAL VIEWS OF THE CHEST: The heart size is moderately
enlarged.
The aorta is slightly unfolded. Hilar contours are normal.
Elevation of left hemidiaphragm is noted, with adjacent streaky
opacity in left lung base, likely reflective of atelectasis. No
pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, or pneumothorax is present.
Multiple clips are demonstrated within the left axilla, and the
patient appears to be status post left mastectomy. Multiple
clips are also seen within the upper abdomen, only on the
lateral view. There are no acute osseous abnormalities.
IMPRESSION: Moderate cardiomegaly, but no evidence for pulmonary
edema
Cardiac Cath (___):
COMMENTS:
1. Selective coronary angiography in this right dominant system
revealed
two vessel coronary artery disease. The LMCA was heavily
calcified with
a 30% ostial stenosis. The LAD was heavily calcified with a
proximal
tampering to 65%, multiple septal branches, a large D1 vessel, a
mid LAD
tapering to a diffusely diseased mid-distal LAD to 70% just
before a
modest D2 (which has an origin 50% stenosis). The apical
portion of the
LAD had a 85% stenosis with very apical LAD of larger caliver
than mid
LAD. Slow flow in noted consistent with microvascular
dysfunction. A
ramus intermedius of large caliber with a tortuous proximal
vessel and
terminal branches is also noted to have slow flow. The LCX had
a
retroflexed origin, modest caliver AV groove with a few tiny OM
branches. The RCA had an ostial 50% stenosis with proximal
ectasia and
diffuse plaquing throughout with a 30% stenosis of the proximal
and
mid-distal regions. Large AM branch, large RPDA with laterally
oriented sidebranch, large AV nodal branch, and large RPL are
noted.
2. Limited resting hemodynamics revealed a elevated left sided
filling
pressures with an LVEDP of 24mm Hg. Mild systemic arterial
systolic and
diastolic hypertension with a central aortic pressure of 162/102
mm Hg.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Two vessel coronary artery disease with severe apical LAD
lesion and
diffusely disease mid-distal LAD not favorable for PCI due to
length of
disease or CABG given absense of graftable target in the
mid-distal LAD.

transfered from ___ Unit after a witnessed
syncopal episode.
# Syncopal episode: Mr. ___ was folding laundry at ___
___ when he fell and struck his head. He had LOC for 10
minutes and altered mental status. He had no witnessed seizure
activity. He was transfered to ___ with stable vital signs.
Labs taken the ED were unremarkable, and he was evaluated for
trauma with CT-Head and Spine, CXR, Pelvic XR. CT Head showed a
small subarachnoid hemorrhage, which was likely a result of his
head strike and which would not have contributed to altered
mental status. Neurosurgery evaluated the patient and made
recommendation for Keppra seizure prophylaxis 500mg BID x7days,
24hr observation, but no other follow up needed. Cardiogenic
cause of syncope was ruled out with EKG and ECHO. The patient
was kept on tele and had no events. Patient tox screen was
negative. The patient had orthostatic hypotension, and it's
possible this was an orthostatic episode complicated by head
strike. We repleted him with IV fluids.
#C4 on C5 anterolithesis: CT C-spine showed multi-level
degenerative changes mild anterolisthesis of C4 on C5 -probably
degenerative, but acute process cannot be excluded without prior
images. Patient had no spine tenderness, full range of motion,
no neurlogic deficits, no distracting injuries, and C-collar was
removed when his mental status stabilized.
#Subarachnoid hemorrhage: Small traumatic subarachnoid
hemorrhage was seen on CT Head. Neurosurgery evaluated patient
and felt no acute intervention was appropriate given size of
hemorrhage, and that such a small hemorrhage would not explain
mental status change. Patient had q4h neuro checks x24 hours,
and was placed on seizure prophylaxis, Keppra 500 BID x 7days,
and seizure precautions. Ibuprofen held.
# Schizophrenia: Patient has history of schizophrenia and was
being treated at ___ for psychosis since
___. We continued his haldol 5mg PO BID, but he refused
many doses. No other psychopharm was given to the patient due
to his refusal.
# Delirium: Patient had waxing and waning mental status
consistent with delirium. He was seen by psychiatry who agreed
with keeping his on haldol 5mg BID. Nursing measures were taken
to reduce delirium risks.
# Abnormal EKG: EKG showed RBBB and diffuse ST elevations with
question of PR prolongations concerning for nodal conduction
disease. TTE showed no wall motion defects, no valvular defects,
nl HF. BNP and trops were neg x2. QTc 362. Patient had no
episodes of arrhythmias on tele. No interventions were done.
# Rhabdomyolysis: Patient had elevated CKP 1514, most likely do
to use of physical restraints prior to ___ admission. He was
given IVF, and Cr was stable 0.9-->0.7. CK trended down.
# Right shoulder sublaxation: Noted on imaging. Had altrecation
with ___ with resultant injury. Previously controlled with
Ibuprofen, but held in setting of bleeding. Tramadol was given
in house. Patient should have outpatient orthopaedics visit for
further management.

History of Present Illness:
HPI: Mr. ___ is a pleasant ___ man with HTN who
presents with a right facial droop.
Earlier today, he was working on renovating his daughter's
basement bathroom. Around 1:30pm, he was drinking water when it
started to dribble down the right side of his mouth. He did not
think anything of it, but then noticed that it was harder to
hold
his tool bag in his right hand. When the plumber came by, he
noticed that his speech had changed. His words sounded slurred,
but he was able to say everything he wanted to say. His wife saw
him at 4pm when she got home from work and noticed that the
right
side of his mouth was drooping. This led to his presentation at
___, where ___ showed a left frontoparietal IPH
and SAH. Denies a headache.
Of note, he fell and hit his head about one week ago. He was
holding a bunch of things in his hand and was going up the
stairs. Went to put a bottle in the recycling bin and caught his
foot on something and fell.

Total DLP (Head) = 2,281 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Prior CT head dated ___.
FINDINGS:
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST:
A 4.0 x 3.4 cm focus of intraparenchymal hemorrhage centered in the left
external capsule (series 2, image 19) is mildly increased in size from prior
examination (previously 3.8 x 2.9 cm). There is no additional focus of
hemorrhage. No new large territorial infarction. No significant midline
shift.
Periventricular and deep white matter hypodensities are nonspecific but likely
represent sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
There is mild mucosal thickening in the left maxillary sinus. The paranasal
sinuses are otherwise clear. The mastoid air cells are clear and the orbits
are unremarkable. There is evidence of periodontal disease with periapical
lucencies in the left maxilla (image 224, series 3).
CTA HEAD:
Evaluation of the vessels is limited by photon starvation. Punctate
arteriosclerotic calcifications are visualized in the carotid siphons
bilaterally, however, the vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal
intracranial branches appear patent without significant stenosis, occlusion,
or aneurysm formation. Punctate calcification is identified in the V4 segment
of the left vertebral artery. The dural venous sinuses are patent.
CTA NECK:
The carotid siphons are heavily calcified. There is minimal atherosclerotic
narrowing at the V4 segment of the left vertebral artery. Otherwise, the
carotid and vertebral arteries and their major branches appear normal with no
evidence of stenosis or occlusion. There is no evidence of internal carotid
stenosis by NASCET criteria.
OTHER:
The ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery measure at the upper limits of
normal (4.0 cm and 3.4 cm, respectively). Evaluation of the lung apices is
moderately limited by respiratory motion. There is centrilobular emphysema,
diffusely. No suspicious pulmonary nodules. Mild to moderate multilevel
degenerative changes are visualized throughout the cervical and upper thoracic
spine, more significant from at C6-C7, and C7-T1 levels, partially evaluated
in this exam, if clinically warranted, correlation with MRI of the cervical
spine is recommended.
IMPRESSION:
1. 4.0 cm focus of intraparenchymal hemorrhage centered in the left external
capsule, mildly increased in size. No midline shift. No evidence of an
underlying vascular abnormality. No significant stenosis, dissection or
aneurysm greater than 3 mm.
2. Moderate centrilobular emphysema at the lung apices.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Multilevel degenerative changes throughout the cervical
spine, more significant at C6-C7, and C7-T1 levels, partially evaluated in
this exam, if clinically warranted correlation with MRI of the cervical spine
is recommended.

INDICATION: ___ year old man with L IPH// ?mass, CAA
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. 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: CTA head and neck ___
FINDINGS:
Left frontoparietal parenchymal hematoma has increased in size, measuring 4.5
x 3.5 x 2.6 cm (AP x TRV x CC), previously measuring 4.0 x 3.4 x 2.6 cm. Its
original presenting size was 3.8 x 2.9 x 2.6 cm. This lesion exhibits mixed
signal, but is predominantly T2 hyperintense and T1 isointense without
apparent enhancement. The hematoma is surrounded by a rim of slowed diffusion
with corresponding decrease in ADC, likely secondary to pressure ischemia from
its mass effect. Additionally, a 1.0 x 0.9 cm focus of slowed diffusion with
corresponding decreased ADC signal along the posteromedial margin of the
hematoma in the left centrum semiovale (302:20) is concerning for acute
infarct. Internal and peripheral susceptibility artifact on gradient echo
images is indicative of hemorrhage. Surrounding T2/FLAIR hyperintensity
represents vasogenic edema, and there is mild local sulcal effacement and
minimal partial effacement of the left lateral ventricle. No hydrocephalus.
There are no surrounding feeder vessels or T2 flow voids to suggest an
arteriovenous malformation. A tiny focus of susceptibility artifact on
gradient echo imaging in the dependent portion of the right occipital horn
(6:11) may represent small intraventricular hemorrhage.
The ventricles and sulci are grossly normal in caliber and configuration.
Moderate nonspecific periventricular and deep white matter T2/FLAIR
hyperintensities are likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic changes.
IMPRESSION:
-Slight interval increase in size of left frontoparietal parenchymal hematoma,
now measuring 4.5 x 3.5 x 2.6 cm, previously measuring 4.0 x 3.4 x 2.6 cm.
-No abnormal enhancement to suggest underlying mass or evidence of
arteriovenous malformation.
-Finding of surrounding peripheral slowed diffusion could be secondary to
pressure ischemia from the hematoma, although there is a 1.0 x 0.9 focus of
acute ischemia along the posteromedial margin of the hematoma in the left
centrum semiovale.
-Likely small intraventricular hemorrhage layering in the right occipital
horn.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Repeat imaging in 3 months after resolution of the acute
course of the patient's symptoms is recommended for the better evaluation of
possible underlying mass.

HTN who initially presented with right face and arm weakness and
was subsequently found to have a left frontoparietal
intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
#Left frontoparietal IPH:
The hemorrhage was thought to be secondary to hypertension as
patient's systolic blood pressures were initially greater than
200. He also has longstanding history of hypertension but has
not been on medication because he has not regularly seen a
doctor.
Patient underwent MRI to evaluate for other causes of hemorrhage
but there was no evidence of underlying mass or vascular
malformation. A repeat MRI is recommended in 3 months.
Patient was evaluated by speech therapy, occupational therapy,
and physical therapy who recommended rehab.
#Hypertension:
Patient initially required nicardipine infusion to maintain SBP
less than 150. He was then transitioned to oral
antihypertensives. Blood pressures were well controlled on
lisinopril and labetalol at time of discharge.
Echo was done because of longstanding hypertension. Echo showed
normal EF. IT also showed a mildly dilated ascending aorta. A
follow-up echocardiogram is suggested in ___ year.
#Oropharyngeal dysphagia: patient initially failed swallow eval
so NG tube was placed. On subsequent evaluations, his swallowing
improved and he was advanced to modified diet. He was tolerating
modified diet so NG tube was removed.
# Alcohol use disorder: Patient endorsed drinking several beers
per night so he was initially placed on CIWA protocol. He never
exhibited signs of withdrawal.

History of Present Illness:
Pt is a ___ woman with a history of HTN and chronic pain, s/p
spinal cord stimulator implantation with battery pack revision
last month ___ wound dehiscence, presenting with a complaint of
chest pain x10d. Patient fell 10 days ago and landed on her
hands, causing her left elbow to impact her left side. Since
that fall she has had pain and tenderness under her left breast,
on the left side of her sternum, and more recently in the
middle/upper back at midline. She denies head impact or LOC in
the fall, said she felt briefly dizzy and weak but cannot
identify other precipitant. Pain is worse with certain body
positions and deep inspiration, relieved by repositioning and
only minimally on her current pain regimen. Pt presented to ED
today on recommendation from her pain ___ evaluation
prior to being seen by a specialist here for adjustment of pain
meds. She had no acute change in her condition that
precipitated her visit.
In the ED, initial vital signs were T97.8 P80 BP102/42 R16 O2
sat 100% on RA. Patient was given IV dilaudid 2mg x 3 and a dose
of her home medications. Labs remarkable for CXR showed no
fractures or acute processes. EKG was NSR. Plan was to discharge
patient with outpatient follow-up for pain management, however
prior to discharge bilateral lower extremity edema was noted.
Per patient, she first noticed this last night. She denies
fever/chills, recent cuts, or recent pain in her legs. She
notes one lesion on middle of right shin that she thinks was a
recent mosquito bite. She feels her anterior lower legs are
tender bilaterally. Lower extremity dopplers were negative for
DVT.
On the floor, vital signs were 98.4 60 115/90 18 98% RA.
Patient was seated in chair in no acute distress but was

lower extremity cellulitis, managed with IV antibiotics, course
c/b febrile episode with rigors, tachycardia and relative
hypotension.
Acute Issues
========
#Cellulitis c/b SIRS (sepsis): Though patient presented with
chest pain, bilateral lower extremity edema was noted in the
emergency room, prompting her admission to the hospital. She
received 6 doses of IV vancomycin during her stay with rapid
resolution of her erythema to her baseline venous stasis
pattern. Patient was febrile to 102.9 overnight into HD2, with
tachycardia and relative hypotension as low as SBP 105. She had
received one dose of IV vancomycin prior to the episode. She
rapidly defervesced and her hemodynamics stabilized. Blood
cultures drawn during this episode were negative at time of
discharge. She was seen by neurosurgery for evaluation of
possible abscess or osteomyelitis related to her spinal
stimulator, wound dehiscence, or recent battery pack relocation.
Though ESR and CRP were elevated, CT of thoracic and lumbar
spine were benign and showed her stimulator to be in place.
Though patient had a recent tooth extraction, the surgical site
appeared clean and non-erythematous. No other potential cause
of her SIRS could be identified. She had been afebrile for 48
hours on day of discharge. She is being discharged on a course
of PO antibiotics for cellulitis.
#MUSCULOSKELETAL CHEST PAIN: Cardiac workup was negative, and
her symptoms and history were consistent with her recent fall as
the inciting event. She was continued on her home pain regimen
and her discomfort was well-controlled throughout admission.
#DYSKINESIA: Patient was given ropinirole initially on admission
as this was on her medication list provided to our team. On the
morning of HD2 she was noted to have intermittent myoclonus in
the hands and feet. On further questioning, she reported having
stopped her ropinirole some time ago. The medication was
discontinued and her myoclonus rapidly resolved.
Chronic Issues
=========
#HTN: Patient was continued on her pre-admission amlodipine and
lasix.
#DEPRESSION/ANXIETY: Patient was continued on her pre-admission
cymbalta, nortriptyline, and ambien.
#CHRONIC PAIN: Patient was continued on her pre-admission pain
regimen as above.
Transitional Issues
============
- Patient would benefit from adjustment of her pain regimen, as
she is reporting some unsteadiness, which may have contributed
to her fall.
- Please follow-up final results of blood cultures
- complete course of antibiotics for cellulitis and f/u with PCP

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Abdominal pain, assess for free intraperitoneal air.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: 2 views were obtained of the chest. The lungs are low in volume but
clear. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The heart is normal in
size with normal cardiomediastinal contours. Dilated loops of small bowel are
better assessed on the accompanying abdominal radiograph.
IMPRESSION: No acute intrathoracic process.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Abdominal pain, assess for free intraperitoneal air or obstruction.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: Supine and upright abdominal radiographs were obtained. Small bowel
loops are dilated to 5.5 cm in the left mid abdomen. The upper abdomen is not
included on the abdominal radiographs. A left lower quadrant ostomy site is
noted. Left iliac bone island is again seen.
IMPRESSION: Dilated small bowel 5.5 cm is concerning for possible small bowel
obstruction despite air present in the colon. Consider CT or MRE for further
assessment.
Radiology Report
ABDOMINAL RADIOGRAPH SERIES ___
COMPARISONS: ___.
FINDINGS: Dilated loops of small bowel are again visualized, predominantly in
the mid abdomen, measuring up to 5.5 cm in diameter. Several dilated small
bowel loops appear slightly less distended compared to the recent study.
Numerous air-fluid levels are present within the small bowel loops on the
upright view. A small amount of gas is present within the colon, and the
amount of colonic gas has decreased in the interval. There is no evidence of
free intraperitoneal air.
IMPRESSION: Distended small bowel loops with associated air-fluid levels
remain concerning for small bowel obstruction. Consider CT of the abdomen and
pelvis for further evaluation, if warranted clinically.

outpatient gastroenterologist about more definitive treatment
for his disease. On this admission, patient was kept NPO and
his diet was slowly advanced. Never had an NG tube placed. He
was able to tolerate soft food on day of discharge. Of note,
KUB on day of discharge did not demonstrate resolution of SBO
and in fact, showed even less air in the colon. However, Mr.
___ felt well, had no pain or nausea, and was passing gas
and having bowel movements. He insisted on going home although
he was encouraged to stay one more night. Also told to just
take in full liquids for now. He knows to call his outpatient
GI team if his symptoms worsen. Mr. ___ requested a
prescription for flagyl (he has used this for flares in the
past) and was given this to take at home.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: Right lower leg hematoma, here to evaluate for interval change.
COMPARISON: Venous duplex ultrasound of the right lower extremity dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale and Doppler ultrasound images of the right posterior
calf were obtained.
FINDINGS: Corresponding to the site of the previously described fluid
collection in the right posterior mid-to-distal calf, there is an avascular
anechoic structure with some peripheral echogenic material, which appears to
run alongside an artery and may represent a thrombosed deep calf vein,
possibly the soleal vein. The gastrocnemius vein is patent with normal
compressibility. Normal color flow and compressibility is demonstrated in the
right peroneal and posterior tibial veins. Adjacent to the possibly
thrombosed vessel, there is a focal anechoic avascular fluid collection
measuring 2.6 x 1.8 x 1.1 cm.

(History provided by the patient and his wife who are both
___ speaking but fluent in ___, and their son at the
bedside)
___ WWII Veteran with PMHx of high risk prostate cancer
treated with 12 weeks of radiation/hormonal therapy in ___ with
residual generalized weakness who had 20 minutes of left sided
weakness and garbled speech (he clearly was not making words
properly, totally incomprehensible to his wife, he is unsure if
he also had word finding difficulties). He woke up in his usual
state of health at 9:30am. He took his omeprazole on schedule
and had breakfast around 10am. He usual takes his verapamil
after breakfast but yesterday he forgot. He got up, went to the
bathroom where he urinated and had a bowel movement. Immediately
after, he was getting ready to go to the bank with his wife when
she found him walking in circles slouched over to the left as if
he was searching for something. When he tried to talk, his words
were garbled and he made no sense. He was still able to walk but
was leaning to the left and appeared weak on the left side. She
walked him over to the couch and gave him his blood pressure
medication (verapamil ER 360). She believes his symptoms are
secondary to him not getting his medication at the regular time.
Within 20 minutes he was back to baseline. They told their son,
whom they live with, that evening at 7:45pm. He told them to
call his brother (their other son) who is a doctor in ___
for advice for what to do. The patient's son instructed them to
see a doctor right away but the patient and his wife
misinterpreted this to mean they should go call their PCP the
next morning. When they called ___ this morning,
the nurse instructed them to go to ___ ED immediately.
Neurology was consulted for evaluation and work up of a possible
stroke.
Of note, a week prior to his symptoms, the patient had a fall
with head strike at home (no LOC). He woke up at 4:30am, got up
to go the bathroom, urinated then fell forward and hit his
forehead. He said that his forehead was red and tender for a
couple of days. He also developed a frontal and an occipital
headache but he reports that this pain has since resolved.
On neuro ROS, (+) left sided heaviness with ambulation, (+)
headache earlier this week after fall with head strike (no LOC)
which has since resolved, (+) per his son at the bedside,
chronic progressive worsening of his dysarthria, slowed speech,
cognitive slowing, and decreased verbal output, (+) chronic
blurred vision while reading over the last months, (+) chronic
difficult with swallowing food, often coughs when eating for
many months, (+) chronic hearing loss. The patient denies
vertigo. Denies numbness, parasthesiae.
On general review of systems, (+) chronic urinary urgency, (+)
chronic constipation, (+) intermittent cough with PO. The pt
denies recent fever or chills. No night sweats or recent weight
loss or gain. Denies shortness of breath. Denies chest pain or
tightness, palpitations. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or
abdominal pain. No recent change in bowel or bladder habits.
Denies arthralgias or myalgias. Denies rash.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: History: ___ with possible stroke yesterday
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images from skullbase to vertex were obtained
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also
performed.
DOSE: This study involved 3 CT acquisition phases with dose indices as
follows:
1) CT Localizer Radiograph
2) CT Localizer Radiograph
3) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.6 cm; CTDIvol = 48.4 mGy (Head) DLP =
802.7 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute large territorial infarction, hemorrhage, edema,
or mass. Periventricular, and deep, and subcortical white matter
hypodensities are compatible with chronic small vessel infarction. Focal
hypodense regions involving the left sub insular region as well as the
posterior limb and genu of the left internal capsule likely reflect chronic
lacune or infarcts. Widening of the sulci and prominence of the ventricles
are compatible with age appropriate atrophy. Basal cisterns are patent.
Dense atherosclerotic calcifications of the distal vertebral and cavernous
carotid arteries are noted.
7 mm calcified structure adjacent to the right frontal lobe (02:24) may
reflect a small calcified meningioma or osteoma from the right frontal bone.
Complete opacification of the right mastoid air cells and middle ear cavity
without osseous destruction likely reflects ongoing inflammation. The ethmoid
and right maxillary sinuses demonstrate mild mucosal thickening. Remaining
paranasal sinuses, left mastoid air cells, and left middle ear cavity are
clear. The orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect.
2. Chronic small vessel ischemic changes and age appropriate atrophy.
3. Right mastoid and middle ear cavity opacification compatible with ongoing
inflammation.
RECOMMENDATION(S): MRI is more sensitive for the detection of acute
infarction.

TECHNIQUE: T1 sagittal and axial and FLAIR, T2, susceptibility and diffusion
axial images of the brain were acquired. Following gadolinium administration,
T1 axial and MPRAGE sagittal images were acquired with axial and coronal
reformats. 3D time-of-flight MRA of the circle of ___ was obtained.
Gadolinium enhanced MRA of the neck was acquired.
COMPARISON: HEAD CT ___.
FINDINGS:
There is a small focus of high signal on diffusion images in the left frontal
convexity region (series 6, image 27) without definite corresponding
abnormality on the ADC map. The same area is difficult to evaluate on the
FLAIR images. No other diffusion abnormalities are seen. Artifacts are seen
in the right frontal region on diffusion-weighted images. There is moderate
brain atrophy and small vessel disease. Following gadolinium there is no
evidence of abnormal parenchymal, vascular or meningeal enhancement seen.
Fluid is seen in the right mastoid air cells and middle ear cavity.
MRA of the head shows normal signal in the arteries of the anterior and
posterior circulation. No evidence of vascular occlusion stenosis or an
aneurysm greater than 3 mm in size seen.
MRA of the neck shows mild atherosclerosis and minimal narrowing of the left
carotid bifurcation. Otherwise the right carotid and both vertebral arteries
are normal in appearance. No stenosis or occlusion or dissection seen.
IMPRESSION:
Small focus of diffusion abnormality at the left frontal convexity region
could be due to a subacute infarct. No enhancing brain lesions. Mild
atherosclerotic disease at the left carotid bifurcation otherwise normal MRA
of the neck. Normal MRA of the head.

Gender: F
Race: WHITE - RUSSIAN
Arrive by WALK IN
Chief complaint: L Chest pain
Diagnosed with Unspecified atrial fibrillation
temperature: 98.0
heartrate: 110.0
resprate: 18.0
o2sat: 96.0
sbp: 115.0
dbp: 77.0
level of pain: 8
level of acuity: 3.0 | Ms. ___ is a ___ yo woman with a history of hypertension
who presented with cough and chest pain, found to be in atrial
fibrillation with a rapid ventricular rate and acute HFrEF (LVEF
20%). Chest CT on ___ and then TEE on ___ showed a right atrial
appendage thrombus and so cardioversion was deferred. Lower
extremity ultrasound ___ showed right DVT, but CT torso with
contrast with no signs of malignancy. Her atrial fibrillation
and acute systolic heart failure were medically managed; patient
discharged with PCP and cardiology follow up.
# Atrial fibrillation with RVR: She has no known history of
atrial fibrillation and presented with palpitations for the
prior ~3 days. Unclear precipitant though could be secondary to
recent URI and viral cardiomyopathy; history of negative
coronary angiography in ___, so less likely to be ischemic. Of
note, she complained of palpitations to her PCP in ___,
though unclear whether these were undiagnosed atrial
fibrillation vs. NSVT. She was initially given diltiazem in the
ED, with plan for cardioversion. However, ___ demonstrated RA
thrombus and so cardioversion was deferred given risk of
pulmonary embolus. Additionally, amiodarone was deferred given
20% risk of chemical cardioversion. Therefore atrial
fibrillation was managed medically with rate control and
anticoagulation without attempt at rhythm control. She was
initially difficult to rate control despite therapeutic digoxin
and increasing doses of metoprolol tartrate, ultimately at 50 mg
q6h. Due to persistent tachycardia in the 130s-160s, diltiazem
was initiated on ___ and ultimately uptitrated to 30 mg q6h
with good effect, keeping in mind her depressed LVEF, a relative
contraindication to diltiazem or verapamil. At discharge, she
continued to be in atrial fibrillation but was rate controlled
well, with ventricular rates in the ___ at rest. For rate
control she was discharged on digoxin 0.125 mg every other day
and diltiazem ER 120mg daily. Her home metoprolol succinate dose
was increased from 100mg to 200mg daily. She was anticoagulated
with dabigatran 150 mg bid. She will follow up as outpatient
with Dr. ___ potential outpatient TEE/cardioversion once
anticoagulated x 4 weeks.
# DVT and right atrial appendage thrombus: CT ___ and TEE ___
with 3x1.9cm RA thrombus, ___ ___ with right posterior
tibial DVT. Given that the RA thrombus was nestled against the
cardiac wall and not free-floating, and no signs of extension
from the IVC, it was felt to be likely secondary to atrial
fibrillation rather than an embolus from DVT, IVC, or elsewhere.
The patient was initially started on rivaroxaban 20 mg daily but
was subsequently switched to dabigatran 150 mg BID given
potential for enhanced anticoagulation with BID dosing and
higher potency. She tolerated this well with no issues.
Diagnostically, these concurrent blood clots, with history of
prior thrombophlebitis in ___, are concerning for a
hypercoagulable state. The differential includes
inherited/sporadic thrombophilia and malignancy.
Antiphospholipid testing (cardiolipin Abs, beta-2-glycoprotein
Abs, lupus anticoagulant) was negative. We deferred rest of
thrombophilia workup to outpatient setting once clots resolve.
In regards to malignancy, she had no evidence on CT
chest-abdomen-pelvis, but could still ___ a cancer somewhere,
such as the colon. She stated she is up to date on mammograms
but not colon cancer screening or pap testing. Of note, she has
had 10-pound weight loss since ___ and complains of
decreased appetite. There is a family H/O gastric cancer in her
mother. She was discharged on dabigtran 150 mg BID, a new
medication.
# Acute HFrEF. Previously normal LVEF (___), now with LVEF
20% on TTE ___, with elevated pro-BNP but normal troponin-T.
The etiology was not entirely clear. Distribution of
hypo-/akinesis somewhat consistent with Takotsubo; could be
tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy from atrial fibrillation with
RVR. Alternatively, viral cardiomyopathy (given recent URI)
might have triggered new atrial fibrillation. Cardimyopathy
likely non-ischemic given reportedly normal coronary angiography
___. She had mild volume overload on exam with shortness of
breath and received intermittent diuresis with furosemide
boluses with good effect for her diastolic heart failure. She
was also started on captopril, later switched to lisinopril 5mg,
for afterload reduction given reduced EF, though this was
discontinued on day of discharge due to hyperkalemia to 5.6. She
was discharged home on furosemide 60mg PO daily, a new
medication, as well as diltiazem, digoxin, and metoprolol
succinate as above.
# Hyperkalemia: Patient had potassium of 5.6 on ___, repeat
whole blood sample was normal at 4.2. Chemistry ___ again
showed hyperkalemia to 5.5, repeat whole blood sample was 4.9.
This is most likely secondary to ACE-inhibition and so
lisinopril was discontinued. BUN/Cr within normal limits
therefore not due to renal insufficiency, also no signs/symptoms
of digoxin toxicity and on a very low dose so dig toxicity
highly unlikely. Potassium should be monitored as an outpatient,
please check this value at PCP follow up on ___.
# Chest pain: On admission, patient presented with atypical,
nonexertional pain, with chest wall tender to palpation, and was
diagnosed with musculoskeletal pain. Troponin-T and CK-MB were
negative in the ED and again on ___ and ___, and EKG showed no
acute ST changes. History of coronary angiography in ___
with reportedly no CAD. Therefore pain felt to be most likely
musculoskeletal, secondary to coughing given persistent URI. She
was given acetaminophen and lidocaine patches as needed with
good effect. If chest pain persists as outpatient, cardiology
can consider outpatient stress testing.
# E. coli uncomplicated UTI: She spiked a fever to 102.2 on ___
and had UA with WBCs and +nitrites and urine culture growing E
coli. She was asymptomatic, with no dysuria or flank pain.
However, given her persistent atrial fibrillation with RVR, with
cardioversion not an option, it was felt to be reasonable to
treat a potential infectious source to limit any ongoing
triggers for her AF and decrease her cardiovascular demand. She
was initially started on IV ceftriaxone and then switched to
Bactrim given pan-sensitive E. coli for a total 3-day course and
remained afebrile and asymptomatic.
# Hypertension: Patient has history of hypertension, on
amlodipine and metoprolol at home. Amlodipine was stopped
because of diltiazem use for synergy in rate control. Captopril
was added for LVSD. She was discharged home on metoprolol
succinate 200 mg daily as above (up from 100 mg on admission),
diltiazem and captopril.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
[ ] Hyperkalemia on day of discharge (5.5) and day prior (5.6),
so lisinopril discontinued. Please recheck K at PCP follow up on
___ to ensure normal value.
[ ] Consider completing hypercoagulability workup: Protein C/S
deficiency, factor V leiden, antithrombin deficiency,
prothrombin gene mutation testing. For malignancy workup:
colonoscopy, pap testing, mammogram.
[ ] Dr. ___ office to arrange cardiology follow up
[ ] New medications: Furosemide 60 mg daily, digoxin 0.125 mg
q2d, dabigatran 150 mg bid, diltiazem ER mg 120 daily
[ ] Changed meds: Metoprolol succinate 200 mg daily (from 100 mg
daily)

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a pleasant ___ year-old gentleman with history of
CAD s/p DES x1 several years ago who presents with left chest
pain. The patient is a reliable historian, and was accompanied
by
his family, who provided additional details to this intake. The
patient states that his symptoms began several months ago, with
intermittent chest pain worsened by cough with occasional
production of phlegm. He lives in ___ for several
months of the year, and had these symptoms there and sought
medical attention and was prescribed cough medicine that 'was
too
expensive' and thus did not pursue any care as aggressively
within the next few months.
He however noticed a few months ago some hemoptysis, about a
teaspoon or less, with this intermittent cough and chest pain.
He states he had this 'only once' and has not had hemoptysis
since then, only production of tannish sputum infrequently. He
has also noticed increasing left chest and scapular pain that
worsens with deep inspiration, coughing or hiccoughing. The pain
is alleviated by avoiding deep inspiration. He denied any
dyspnea
at rest or when ambulating, and can 'walk up a mountain' without
problems. He denied any substernal chest pain, squeezing or
tightness; he denied any radiation to his jaw or arm, and denied
any history of such symptoms. He denies having an MI,although
notes that in his stress-test several years ago, he did undergo
catheterization and stent placement x1, which is confirmed in
OMR
(DES x1 to PDA).
He denies fevers, chills or other constitutional symptoms. He
denied unintentional weight loss and in fact has gained some
weight since becoming more sedentary.
His last colonoscopy was several years ago and was 'normal.' He
sees his PCP ___.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: Intraoperative fluoroscopy of the right ankle.
INDICATION: Open reduction internal fixation of right ankle fracture.
TECHNIQUE: 9 fluoroscopic spot images of the right ankle were obtained in the
operating room without presence of radiologist.
Dose: Fluoroscopy time 18.0 seconds, cumulative dose 0.81 mGy.
COMPARISON: Preoperative imaging from earlier on the same day.
FINDINGS:
Images demonstrate open reduction internal fixation of the distal fibula with
a lateral fixation plate secured by 3 screws including a syndesmotic screw.
There is also a separate anteroposterior screw. Fractures of the distal
fibula and posterior malleolus are depicted without displacement.
IMPRESSION:
Open reduction internal fixation of the distal fibula.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT LOW EXT W/O C RIGHT Q61R
INDICATION: ___ year old man with right ankle fracture// eval ankle fracture
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial CT images were acquired through the right ankle
without intravenous contrast. Multiplanar reformats were performed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 10.7 s, 22.6 cm; CTDIvol = 14.3 mGy (Body) DLP =
323.2 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 323 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Left ankle radiographs from ___.
FINDINGS:
There is a comminuted fracture involving the right posterior malleolus with
intra-articular extension. The dominant fracture line is obliquely oriented
and there is mild posterior displacement of the main fracture fragment, which
measures 2.2 x 1.1 x 2.4 cm (TV by AP by SI) (3:76, 51:66). Several tiny
fracture fragments are noted in the posterior tibiotalar joint space, for
example (501:70). There is no significant ankle joint effusion.
There is a second obliquely oriented, mildly displaced fracture of the distal
fibula with mild inferior and posterior displacement of the distal fragment.
A 1.2 x 0.8 x 1.1 cm fracture fragment is seen anterolateral to the talus
(3:99, 501:46), likely originating from the anterior distal fibula.
A 7 mm fracture fragment is seen in the expected location of the anterior
talofibular ligament (3:88), which may reflect an avulsion injury.
The ankle mortise appears congruent.
Extensive soft tissue edema is noted around the fractures. The imaged
Achilles and flexor and extensor tendons are grossly intact.
Small well-corticated bony fragments are seen near the attachment of the
bifurcated ligament at the anterolateral aspect of the calcaneus (501:48),
consistent with sequela of old injury. Mild degenerative changes of the
hindfoot and midfoot are noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. Comminuted fracture of the right posterior malleolus with intra-articular
extension. The main fracture fragment measures up to 2.4 cm.
2. Obliquely oriented fracture of the right distal fibula with mild posterior
inferior displacement of the distal fragment. A 1.2 cm fracture fragment
anterolateral to the talus likely originates from the distal anterior fibula.
3. 7 mm fracture fragment in the expected location of the anterior talofibular
ligament may reflect an avulsion injury.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: ANKLE (AP, MORTISE AND LAT) RIGHT
INDICATION: History: ___ with ankle pain// eval fracture eval fracture
TECHNIQUE: Three views of the right ankle
COMPARISON: None
FINDINGS:
There is a mildly displaced posterior malleolar fracture. There is widening
of the ankle mortise about the medial clear space. Additionally, the distal
tibia-fibular syndesmosis is widened. There likely is an obliquely oriented
distal fibular fracture. No talar dome osteochondral lesion is identified. No
suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesion is identified. There is pronounced soft
tissue swelling.
IMPRESSION:
Acute, mildly displaced posterior malleolar fracture with evidence of ankle
instability, including suspected injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis
and deltoid ligament.
Nondisplaced distal fibular fracture.

TECHNIQUE: Multiple views of the right tibia, fibula, and ankle
COMPARISON: Ankle radiograph ___
FINDINGS:
There is an overlying splint which markedly limits fine bony detail. Patient
is status post closed reduction of posterior malleolar fracture which
demonstrates intra-articular extension, now in near anatomic alignment.
Overlying cast limits evaluation of fine bony detail. The ankle mortise is
more closely apposed with persistent mild widening of the medial clear space.
No definite talar dome lesion is identified. Distal fibular fracture is not
well seen.
IMPRESSION:
Status post closed reduction of posterior malleolar fracture with

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a ___ year old woman with history of microcephaly,
global developmental delay (nonverbal at baseline and completely
dependent on others for all ADLs), cerebral palsy, spastic
quadriparesis and wheelchair bound, who presents with
brekathrough seizures in the context of nausea/vomiting. History
provided by collateral from caretaker from facility.
Caretaker reports that Ms. ___ was in her usual state of
health until earlier this morning, when she developed
breakthrough seizures. She woke up this morning seeming in her
usual state of health. However, later in the morning she was
noted by staff to have at least 5 seizures characterized by
bilateral upward gaze deviation, lasting for ___ seconds,
followed by a ___ minute period of somnolence. During these
episodes, there is no tonic-clonic movements, no tongue biting,
no urinary incontinence, no shaking. She does return to her
baseline between these episodes. She also had one generalized
convulsion.
Starting at 2:00 ___, the patient had a large episode of emesis.
She vomited up her tube feeds. She has additional episodes of
emesis at 3 ___ and 5 ___. During this period, she was estimated
to have another ___ seizures (those of the upper gaze deviation
described above), prompting transfer to the emergency
department.
Since arrival to our emergency department, her initial vitals
were notable for question hypothermia (temperature 96.1 F) but
this was not clearly a true reading, as all subsequent readings
had normal temperature. She also had borderline tachycardia in
the low 100s. Since arrival to the emergency department, she
had an additional ___ seizures, at which point neurology was
consulted. On my assessment, Patient was initially at her
baseline, but did have one event of upward gaze deviation I
witnessed confirmed the semiology described above.
Notably, caretaker reports that the patient does seem to return
to her baseline in between these events. At baseline, she has
spastic quadriparesis and is wheelchair-bound. She is
nonverbal. She intermittently tracks in regards. She does not
follow commands. She is typically awake and alert. She is
dependent on others for all activities of daily living.
Apart from her recent nausea and vomiting, the caretaker denies
any recent seizure triggers. Denies recent illness otherwise,
denies fevers/chills, denies any missed medication doses, denies
any sick contacts, denies any changes to her sleep - wake cycle.
Regarding her epilepsy:
-Patient is followed by Dr. ___. She has been
maintained on Vimpat 200 mg twice daily, Keppra ___ mg twice
daily, and zonisamide 400 mg nightly via her G-tube.
-Prior seizure semiology have included:
1) rightward gaze deviation, jerking of the arms, legs and head
chewing, at times a secondary generalization. Caretaker
uncertain of how often these occur, estimated 1 per month.
2) bilateral upward gaze deviation, lasting ___ seconds,
followed by post-ictal somnolence lasting ___ minutes at most.
Frequency unclear, estimated "several" per month.

FINDINGS:
Assessment somewhat limited by patient positioning and the patient's chin
obscuring the left apex. Lung volumes remain low. This accentuates the size
of the cardiac silhouette which appears mildly enlarged. Mediastinal and
hilar contours are unchanged. There is crowding of bronchovascular structures
without frank pulmonary edema. Hazy opacification in the lung bases may
reflect atelectasis. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or
pneumothorax is seen. Elevation the right hemidiaphragm is unchanged.
Percutaneous gastrostomy catheter is re-demonstrated. Rotary thoracolumbar
scoliosis is again noted, convex to the left.
IMPRESSION:
Low lung volumes with hazy bibasilar opacification, likely atelectasis,
without focal consolidation.

#Breakthrough seizures
Infectious workup was unremarkable (UCx, CXR, BCx). She was on
Unasyn for several days but this was stopped given no clear
infectious etiology. Her Keppra 2g BID and Vimpat 150 mg BID
were switched to IV formulation given her emesis. Her zonisamide
400 mg QHS was continued in G tube formulation. Her EEG showed
no seizures, but did show generalized R>L spike and spike and
wave discharges and slowing R frontal central area. Her tube
feeds were resumed and after she tolerated feeds for 24 hours,
Vimpat and Keppra were returned to G tube formulation. She
remained without further emesis throughout her hospitalization.
She has brief eye deviation to the right at times throughout the
day, which her mother reports are seizures. These are at
baseline.
#Constipation
She intermittently had constipation which was resolved with a
bowel regimen (see medication worksheet). She was having near
daily bowel movements prior to discharge.

Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
Odynophagia, Inability to tolerate PO
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
EGD ___
History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ year-old woman with recent hospitalization
for abdominal pain s/p abdominal mass biopsy who now presents
due to odynophagia and inability to tolerate PO intake.
Patient was discharged on ___ after a 10 day stay ___
- ___ for abdominal pain of unknown etiology. She has
known abdominal mass abutting stomach which was biopsied in
___ (pathology inconclusive) and re-biopsied ___ (FNA
negative for malignancy), one day prior to recent admission.
Post biopsy she was experiencing ___ abdominal pain and was
admitted for further work up. Multiple services were consulted
during recent admission, including GI and surgery and ultimately
it was felt that her pain was likely unrelated to mass. She was
discharged with plan to complete 14d course of Cipro/Flagyl for
possible infected cyst, with close surgery/GI follow up.
Of note, patient has prior admissions and history of abdominal
pain dating back years thought to be due secondary to IBS vs
somatoform symptom disorder vs gastroparesis vs
postcholecystectomy syndrome vs constipation. She also has
extensive psych history and her outpatient psych NP has
expressed concern that she is drug seeking.
Patient returned to ___ one day post discharge and was diagnosed
with thrush, started on Nystatin PO. She returned today with
complaints of aspiration and persistent severe pain with
swallowing solids and liquids.
In the ED, initial vitals: afebrile, normal bp, no tachycardia,
on room air
- Exam notable for: "Severe thrush to posterior palate"
- Labs notable for: Lactate 2.2, WBC 9.4 N 74, BMP at her
baseline
- Imaging notable for: CXR showing minimal nodular opacity in
the right mid lung likely reflecting trace aspiration.
- Pt given: Zofran and admitted to medicine for further work
up.
On arrival to the floor, pt reports pain with swallowing both
solids and liquids which began the night she was discharged from
the hospital. This morning she felt as if her antibiotic pills
got "stuck" on the way down. Pain extends from her throat, down
her esophagus and is constant in nature. She tried nystatin x 1
but vomited after swallowing it and has not used it since. No
fevers, chills or cough and abdominal pain is at baseline.

to tolerate PO intake.
ACTIVE ISSUES
=================
# Odynophagia
# Thrush
Following a prolonged hospitalization at ___
___, she now presents with difficulty taking PO and
Odynophagia, and a feeling of pills/food getting "stuck" in her
throat. This was new since her last hospital stay, but unlikely
to be related to her abdominal mass. A1C/TSH normal, HIV
negative. In setting of thrush in oropharynx, antibiotic use,
and chronic inhaled corticosteroid for asthma, the dx of ___
esophagitis was considered (also HSV esophagitis given h/o
perioral HSV). She thus underwent EGD with biopsy on ___.
Fortunately, no evidence of esophageal infection or abnormality
was found. She was given Nystatin QID for thrush, as well as
Magic Mouthwash.
# Difficulty taking PO
She was initially resuscitated with 2L IVF, but taking stable PO
intake prior to discharge. Of note, she does have long history
of abdominal pain, thought to be possibly somatoform vs IBD vs
gastroparesis. Also, worth noting low BUN and albumin,
indicating likely poor nutritional status overall.
- Continue home Morphine, Omeprazole, Sucralfate
# Abdominal Mass: She was discussed at a joint GI/Surgery
conference on ___. Plan is ultimately for definitive surgical
management in the future as outpatient, and this appointment is
scheduled. She completed her 14 day course of Cipro/Flagyl for ?
infected mass post-biopsy while inpatient.
# Thrombocytopenia: PLT 125-142, from 150-200's during prior
hospital stays. No evidence of bleeding. Recommend outpatient
recheck
# Coagulopathy: INR 1.3-1.4, from 1.2 last admit. Likely
nutritional given poor PO intake overall. Recommend outpatient
recheck.
CHRONIC ISSUES
=================
# Depression/Anxiety:
- continue home fluoxetine 20mg DAILY, lamotrigine 125mg DAILY,
trazodone 100mg QHS, Ativan 1mg PO BID
- held brexpiprazole 2mg QHS as not on formulary, but OK to
resume on discharge
- continue nighttime Prazosin 3mg QHS
# Asthma
- continue Fluticasone Propionate 110mcg 2 PUFF IH BID
- continue Albuterol Inhaler 2 PUFF IH Q6H:PRN wheezing
# Obstructive sleep apnea
- continue home BIPAP
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
===================
- Was previously on Cipro/Flagyl for coverage of a possibly
infected mass that was recently biopsied. Completed this course
in house.
- Discharged on Nystatin oral suspension QID to treat thrush, 5
more days as od ___
- No changes made to any of her other chronic home medications
- EGD biopsy results pending on discharge
- Mild thrombocytopenia, platelets of 142,000 on day of
discharge. Recommend outpatient recheck.
- Mild coagulopathy, INR 1.3 on day of discharge. Likely
nutritional. Recommend outpatient recheck. |

COMPARISON: Unenhanced head CT ___ performed at 15:55.
FINDINGS:
There are expected postoperative changes from interval left craniotomy and
placement of a drainage catheter, with tip seen in the left frontal subdural
space. There is been interval partial evacuation of the previously seen left
frontal convexity subdural hematoma, now smaller, previously of the 2.4 cm in
width, now up to 2.0 cm in width.
Relatively small volume left frontal pneumocephalus, with a few small foci of
left temporal pneumocephalus, are new. There is air seen in the superior
sagittal sinus (02:23), tracking toward the vertex, as well as inferiorly to
involve the very medial left transverse sinus/confluence of the sinuses
(02:13).
The right-sided subdural hematoma appears unchanged in size, measuring up to
1.5 cm in width (02:26), with interval redistribution now with a more
conspicuous blood-fluid or hematocrit level.
There is no evidence of new hemorrhage or of infarction. The ventricles and
sulci are normal in caliber and configuration. The basal cisterns are patent.
0.5 cm rightward shift of midline structures is improved, previously 0.7 cm.
Post craniotomy changes are seen in the left frontal calvarium. Atelectatic
right maxillary sinus is noted. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoids,
middle ear cavities appear well pneumatized and clear. Globes and orbits are
unremarkable.
There are carotid siphon calcifications bilaterally.
IMPRESSION:
1. S/p evacuation of left sided subdural hematoma with expected postoperative
changes.
2.
3. Stable overall size of the 1.5 cm wide right mixed attenuation extra-axial
collection with a more conspicuous fluid-fluid/fluid-hematocrit level.
4. No evidence of new hemorrhage or of infarction.
5. Improved mass effect including 0.5 cm (previously 0.7 cm) rightward shift
of midline structures. No herniation or ventricular entrapment.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CEREBRAL EMBOY347HEADXA
The patient presented as . The patient was brought down for .
The following vessels were selectively catheterize injected:
Ultrasounded right femoral artery was accessed. There was a single
noncompressible arterial pulse total lumen. There is evidence of access of
the Y into the lumen. Images was saved.
Right common carotid artery new
Right external carotid artery
Right middle meningeal artery
Left common carotid artery
Left external carotid artery
Left middle meningeal artery
Right common femoral artery
INDICATION: The patient is a ___ male with bilateral acute on chronic
subdural hematomas. Initially he was taken to the OR for neurological
deterioration and emergent decompressive evacuation of left-sided hematoma.
Postoperatively a significant residual remains with new acute hemorrhage.
Given the patient had a high likelihood of recurrence and there was already
significant recurrence at post operation and additional embolization procedure
was discussed in detail with the patient. The patient was keen to proceed
with the surgery.
ANESTHESIA: The patient was maintained under general endotracheal anesthesia.
None please see separately dictated anesthesia documentation. Patient's
hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were monitored continuously throughout
the entirety of the case by trained independent observer.
TECHNIQUE: Cerebral angiogram, single single-vessel, minimum meningeal artery
embolization bilaterally.
COMPARISON: None.
PROCEDURE:
The patient was identified and brought to the neuro suite. He was transferred
to the fluoroscopy table supine. General endotracheal anesthesia was
performed by the anesthesia service. Bilateral groins at were prepped and
draped in the standard sterile fashion. A time-out was performed. The right
femoral artery was identified using anatomical and ultrasound landmarks.
Infiltration of local anesthetic was performed. Under ultrasound guidance,
using the micropuncture set the right common femoral artery was accessed using
a long 6 ___ sheath advanced over the ___ Wire. The sheath was then
connected to continuous heparinized saline flush. Next a 5 ___ Berenstein
2 catheter was brought into the field, flushed and connected to continuous
heparinized saline flush. The catheter along with another 038 glidewire was
introduced into the sheath and advanced through the femoral artery into the
aortic arch. The catheter was then used to select the right common carotid
artery. Standard AP and lateral images were obtained of the right common
carotid artery. A roadmap was then performed of the carotid bifurcation.
Over the wire the catheter was then used to access the right external carotid
artery. The wire was withdrawn and the patency was confirmed via hand
injection. Standard AP and lateral views were then obtained.
The purpose of the diagnostic angiograms was to provide baseline images for
comparison to runs later in the case to rule out thromboembolic complications
as well as understand collateral flow and rule out additional potential
aneurysms or collaterals. The angiograms also assisted in selection of
devices as well as working angles. The diagnostic portion inform the
interventional portion of followed.
A smart mask was obtained from the previous run and an SL 10 microcatheter
loaded with a synchro 2 standard wire was introduced. This was advanced into
the right middle meningeal artery. The microwire was removed. A hand
injection was then performed via the microcatheter to confirm positioning
within the right middle meningeal artery. Next 1.5 cc of 1 100-300 um
embosphere gold particles mixed with 50/50 contrast was injected under
continuous fluoroscopy. Embolization was concluded when there was the sign of
reflux and stasis of contrast and particles. Next 2 2 mm x 8 cm helical coils
were placed at the origin of the right middle meningeal artery. The coils
were successfully detached. A micro run through the microcatheter then
confirmed complete obliteration of middle meningeal artery branches. The
microcatheter was then removed at this time. A right external carotid artery
angiogram was then performed which confirmed embolization. The catheter was
then withdrawn into the common carotid artery. A final common carotid artery
run was completed to ensure no unintentional thrombosis one-vessel loss was
noted in the internal carotid artery circulation. Both standard AP and
lateral films were obtained in order to rule out any thromboembolic
complications.
Next the diagnostic catheter was withdrawn into the aortic arch. The 0 0.38
glidewire was reintroduced and was used to select the left common carotid.
The wire was placed in the proximal common carotid artery and the catheter
advanced over the wire. Vessel patency was confirmed via hand injection.
Standard AP and lateral views of the common carotid artery were obtained.
Roadmap angiography was then performed. Under roadmap guidance the Wire was
introduced and used to select the left external carotid artery. The catheter
was advanced over the wire in the wire withdrawn. Vessel patency was
confirmed via hand injection. Standard AP and lateral views were then
obtained. The purpose of the diagnostic angiograms on the left side with
broad baseline images for comparison to runs later in the case rule out
thromboembolic complications as well as understand collateral fall low and
rule out additional aneurysms. There angiograms also provided information on
the top of device which should be used as well as working angles. The
diagnostic portion informed the interventional portion that followed. A smart
mask was then obtained from the previous run. Next the SL 10 and
microcatheter were reintroduced. It was then advanced into the left middle
meningeal artery. The microwire was removed. Hand injection was performed by
the microcatheter positioning within the left middle meningeal artery and
excluded possible anastomoses. Next 1 cc of 100-300 marker made a embosphere
gold particles mixed with 50 50 contrast was injected under continuous
fluoroscopy guidance. Embolization was concluded when there was the sign of
reflux and stasis of the contrast and particles. Next 3 x 2 mm x 8 cm he
helical coils were then placed at the origin of the left middle meningeal
artery. The coils were successfully detached. Groove catheter was then
partially withdrawn and a hand injection followed confirming obliteration of
the middle meningeal artery. The microcatheter was then removed. A final
left external carotid angiogram was then performed which confirmed
obliteration of the middle meningeal. AP and lateral films were obtained.
Next the catheter was drawn into the common carotid artery. Standard AP and
lateral films were then obtained to rule out thromboembolic complications. At
this point the diagnostic catheter was removed. The common femoral artery was
then imaged via the sheath at to confirm appropriate caliber and patency for
placement of a closure device. A Angio-Seal 6 ___ closure device was then
successfully deployed. At complete closure was confirmed.
FINDINGS:

visualized and did not show any abnormalities or aneurysms. The anterior
cerebral artery primarily filled from the right side and did not show any
abnormalities. The ophthalmic artery was patent with no evidence of
extracranial anastomoses. No aneurysms or AVMs were identified. Normal
arterial capillary and venous phases.
Carotid artery: Vessel caliber smooth and regular. There is filling of the
external carotid artery distal branches. There is no evidence of intracranial
to extracranial anastomoses. Half left middle meningeal artery: Vessel
caliber smooth and regular. Filling of the middle meningeal artery and its
distal branches. There is no evidence of intracranial to extracranial
anastomosis nor is there evidence of anastomosis with the ophthalmic artery.
Left external carotid artery post embolization: Vessel caliber smooth and
regular. There is good filling of the external carotid artery and its distal
branches however there is no longer any filling of the middle meningeal
artery.
Right common femoral artery: The vessel had smooth and regular caliber. That
was a good size for placement of a closure device.

TREATMENT REGIMEN: C3 Gemcitabine/pb-Paclitaxel (d1: ___
Mrs. ___ is a ___ year-old lady with stage III pancreatic
cancer on C3 of
gemcitabine/pb-paclitaxel complicated by PVT on enoxaparin
presenting with fever, diarrhea and found to have colitis on
imaging.
#Sepsis
#Acute Bacterial Colitis
#Hypovolemia
Patient presented with 3 days of high grade fevers, copious and
frequent non-bloody diarrhea with mucus. CT Abdomen/Pelvis
significant for ascending and transverse colitis. C.difficile
NAAT was negative. Differential is broad but there is
significant concern for bacterial etiology given high grade
fevers and colonic
involvement. Thus was covered with ceftriaxone and metronidazole
(d1: ___ diagnoses include viral colitides,
ischemic colitis (increased risk given PVT), idiopathic
inflammatory colitides. Patient with fever, bandemia,
tachycardia, hypotension meeting sepsis criteria. Significant
need for volume repletion given volume loss due to GI losses.
Patient defervesced on day 2 of admission. Diarrhea improved
incompletely on day 3 of admission. Given mild eosinophilia
consideration for helminthic etiology was given. Stool testing
negative for coccidian and O&Px1. O&P#2 pending upon discharge.
Patient was discharged to complete 7 day course of antibiotics.
#Presumed Pancreatic insufficiency: Patient was empirically
started on pancrelipase supplementation with vast improvement
but not complete resolution of diarrhea. She was given a 30 day
prescription for therapeutic trial.
#Chronic hypotension and Orthostatic hypotension: Patient had
BPs in low ___ in most of her clinic visits. At multiple
times during admission dropped BP as low as low ___ while
completely asymptomatic in bed. Upon review of vital flowsheets
from prior admissions the same phenomenon was observed. During
this admission was concurrently hypovolemic due to diarrhea, BPs
responded to IVF boluses initially but not after 3 days.
Cosyntropin stimulation test completed with appropriate response
at 60min (>20). Given intermittent dizziness/lightheadedness
while going to the bathroom and history of previous falls she
was started on midodrine titrated to SBPs>90.
#Anemia: Likely has anemia of chronic inflammation due to
malignancy at baseline. ___ have had some blood loss from
colitis but mostly hemodilution in setting of aggressive fluid
resuscitation. Required 2U PRBC during admission.
#Unresectable pancreatic cancer: On completed C3 of
gemcitabine/pb-paclitaxel (___). Plan for next cycle when
infection resolved and functional status improved.
#Portal vein thrombosis: Like secondary to her tumor pancreatic
tumor. Was continued on enoxaparin 100mg sc daily throughout her
admission.
#Bipolar disease: Well compensated during the admission.
Continued aripiprazole 30mg daily and fluvoxamine 150mg bid.
#Cancer-related pain: Secondary to likely neural invasion of
mass. Was continued on oxycontin 30mg q12h standing and
oxycodone 10mg q3h for breakthrough.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:
#Antibiotic course: To complete antibiotic course with
cefpdoxime 400mg bid and metronidazole 500mg q8h through ___.
#Helminth work-up: O&P #2 and Strongyloides IgG. Please
follow-up and treat accordingly if positive.
#Orthostatic hypotension: Discharged on midodrine 10mg tid. ___
be titrated down/off after completing antibiotics and fully
reconditioned.
#Pancrelipase: Discharged on 30-day therapeutic trial, may hold
when diarrhea completely resolved to see if significant benefit.
#Given patient's difficulty understanding medications and
unclear home safety in terms of fall risk we strongly
recommended her having a ___ but she declined. Please consider
discussing this with her.

than left. The base of the heart is normal in size. There is no pericardial
effusion.
Liver: The liver is normal in shape and contour. There is normal signal on
the in and out of phase imaging, without evidence of hepatic steatosis or iron
deposition. Within the limitations of this noncontrast exam, no focal lesion
is identified.
Biliary: In the distal common bile duct, there is a 6 mm segment of duct that
has some irregular dark T2 signal. There is no definite blooming on the in and
out of phase imaging. This likely represents 3 or 4 tiny stones. There is

about his recent hospital stay and while walking began to feel
weak. Per the patient the next thing he remembers is waking up
on
the ground. He admits to LOC and fall but denies hitting his
head. Denies pain in his body. He reports that dehydration
triggers his afib. Notably he has been having trouble with PO
intake since this past admission. He has had 3 vomiting episodes
since 3AM, all non bloody and non bilious. His last dose of
metoprolol was this morning.
His prior hospital course was reviewed in his most recent
discharge summary. He was found to have a GI bleed, with the
tumor eroding into the duodenum, however, given stable H/H, he
was discharged on lovenox for pulmonary embolus. His hospital
course was notable for multiple episodes of atrial fibrillation
with RVR, which improved with IV fluids. He was trailed off of
metoprolol, with a recurrence of his RVR, with hypotension, and
required an esmolol drip. He was subsequently placed on
metoprolol.
In the ED, initial VS were 98.5 ___ 136/99 98% RA. Mostly in
the ED, his HRs were in the 130s-150s in atrial fibrillation
with
RVR.
Exam was notable for no acute distress.
Labs were notable for H/H of 10.8/34.6. proBNP 907. Lipase 758.
Lactate 2.9 which improved to 1.0. INR of 1.4.
CTA redemonstrated pulmonary emboli with decreased in clot
burden. CXR should mild atelectasis without acute
cardiopulmonary
process.
He received 2L IV saline.
Upon arrival to the floor, the patient tells the story as
follows. He reports that he went home last night and ate a
___
sandwich. He feels that this may have been "too much too
quickly." He woke up in the middle of the night feeling queasy,
vomiting food without blood, then went back to bed. This
morning,
he had repeat episodes of vomiting. He called his PCP who
prescribed him Zofran, for which he took one dose. He was going
to his appointment at ___, when he felt lightheaded and as
if
he was going to pass out. He denies chest pain, shortness of
breath, or palpitations at that time. His wife broke his fall
and
lowered him to the ground. He feels that he was very dehydrated
at this time. He otherwise denies abdominal pain, diarrhea, or
localized weakness.
ROS: Pertinent positives and negatives as noted in the HPI. All
other systems were reviewed and are negative.

PRIOR HOSPITAL STUDIES
Abdominal Ultrasound ___
1. 5.8 cm periampullary/pancreatic mass with biliary dilatation
is suggestive of pancreatic neoplasm, obstructing the distal
common bile duct.
2. Cholelithiasis without acute cholecystitis. No stone is
appreciated within the dilated common bile duct.
3. Echogenic liver consistent with steatosis. Other forms of
liver disease including steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, or

No focal liver lesion.
CTA Abdomen ___:
1. Irregular heterogeneously hypoattenuating
mass centered in the uncinate process of the pancreas measuring
4.3 x 4.1 x 3.5 cm, abutting the distal common bile duct
resulting in moderate biliary ductal dilatation.
2. No encasement of the adjacent major vasculature.
3. No lymphadenopathy.
ERCP ___:
Successful ERCP with sphincterotomy. Limited exam with side view
showed an ampullary mass resulting in partial obstruction of
D3-D4. Cholangiogram showed distal CBD stricture with cutoff at
ampulla. Sphincterotomy, brushings, and stent placement
performed. There was good drainage of bile
after stent deployed. Biopsies were obtained of the ampullary
mass at the conculsion of the case. Path: Adenocarcinoma,
moderately differentiated with ulceration, present in duodenal
mucosa; possible precursor adenoma with high grade dysplasia
identified. -Changes suggestive of lymphovascular invasion
identified.
ERCP ___
Uncovered duodenal stent placed across duodenal stricture
EGD ___
Normal mucosa in the whole esophagus. Normal mucosa in the whole
stomach. Previously placed duodenal stent was found. The
pancreatic mass was eroding into the duodenal stent along with
mild oozing. Two blood clots were seen. But no overt bleeding
was seen except of overall oozing from the mass.
CT chest with contrast ___:
1. Likely subacute bilateral pulmonary emboli with large
thrombus in the right pulmonary artery which appears partially
canalized, and scattered emboli at the segmental levels
bilaterally. Enlarged bronchial arteries.
2. Scattered very small patchy opacities, mostly ground glass,
suggesting small foci of aspiration pneumonitis.
3. Pulmonary nodules measuring up to 4 mm and a number of
calcified granulomas. Metastatic disease is unlikely but
followup surveillance could be considered.
4. Persistent moderate distension of the stomach suggesting
obstruction.
Path: Adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated with ulceration,
present in duodenal mucosa; possible precursor adenoma with high
grade dysplasia identified.
-Changes suggestive of lymphovascular invasion identified.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a pleasant ___ with hx of metastatic,
recurrent
ovarian cancer presenting with diarrhea x5-6 episodes today and
abdominal pain. Pt had diarrhea 6 days ago and went to an
outside
hospital where she had IVF with relief. Pt then did not have a
BM
for 3 days and took miralax, colase, ducolax, followed by more
miralax. Today she had non-bloody diarrhea and cramping lower
abd
pain. Denies N/V, dysuria, fevers, back pain.
In the ed, she was noted to have bilateral lower abd tenderness.
She received 2 mg Morphine, followed by 4 rounds of 4 mg
morphine
over the past 24 hrs she has been in the ED. She also received 2
L NS, 4 mg zofran x 2 and 40 KCL PO. She had a CT of her abdomen
w/ contrast which revealed no acute process so she was admitted
for further management of her pain.
Of note, she was admitted ___ for abdominal pain. On ___
she
underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, lysis of adhesions, and
biopsy of a pelvic nodule with the GYN oncology team. Intraop
findings notable for diffuse peritoneal disease along left
pelvic
side wall, thick nodular plaque-like disease on central tendon
of
right side of diaphragm with disease coalescing centrally around
vessels, spot 2-3mm miliary disease on peritoneal surfaces and
within mesentery, malignant adhesions between small bowel to
anterior abdominal wall, small plaques of disease on surface of
bowel, left paracolic gutter nodules.
She notes that the abdominal cramps she has now is what led to
her recent diagnosis of recurrent ovarian ca. She notes that
after her surgery, her abdominal cramps slowly dissipated and
eventually resolved. However now the cramps have been recurrent
and progressive. She has cramps continuously, in her lower
quadrants, at best ___, at worst ___ which she is in now.
Nausea hasn't been too much of a problem until she started
taking
chemotherapy again and now she has depressed appetite. Pain is
ameliorated with morphine, ibuprofen, apap, passing gas and
defecation. She recently went 3 days w/o moving bowels and took
miralax, colace and then had ___ liquid stools yesterday. Today
she had one hard bowel movement.
She notes she has had IBS in the past, mainly diarrhea. She
can't
tell if her current cramping is similar but she took immodium in
the past for the ibs w/ good relief.

IMAGING:
Diagnostic Lap ___
On exploratory laparoscopy, we identified
adhesions of the small bowel to the anterior abdominal wall
by the umbilicus. No other significant adhesions were
identified within the abdomen or pelvis. Within the pelvis,
there were some adhesions of the rectosigmoid to the left
pelvic sidewall and that pelvic side wall was covered with
what appeared to be cancer that had spread from essentially
the vaginal cuff up to the pelvic brim and then up into the
left paracolic gutter. There was thick nodular plaque-like
disease on the central tendon on the right side of the
diaphragm. The lateral side of the diaphragm was clear, but
this disease appeared to coalesce centrally around the
vessels. We also identified areas of spot miliary disease on
the peritoneal surfaces and within the mesentery. All of the
spot miliary disease nodules were on the order of 2-3 mm in
size. The adhesions of the small bowel to the anterior
abdominal wall by the umbilicus appeared to be malignant
adhesions. There were several small plaques of disease on
the surface of the bowel and we dissected these adhesions
free around the umbilicus. We removed a nodule from the left
paracolic gutter.
CT Abd/Pelv w/ Con ___: PRELIM read
1. No acute process in the abdomen or pelvis.
2. Stable appearance of right subdiaphragmatic nodularity, which
may represent metastatic disease. Recommend continued attention
on followup. Unchanged appearance of left pelvic sidewall soft
tissue mass. No evidence of short interval disease progression.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Stable appearance of right subdiaphragmatic nodularity, which
may
represent metastatic disease. Recommend continued attention on
followup.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ovarian ca needs port for continued chemo
infusions // Please place single lumen port for chemo. ___
COMPARISON: None
TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___, Interventional Radiology Fellow and Dr.
___, attending radiologist performed the procedure. Dr. ___
___ personally supervised the trainee during the key components of the
procedure and has reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
100 mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 23 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine
was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS: Fentanyl, Versed, cefazolin
CONTRAST: None.
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 0.1 min, 0 mGy
PROCEDURE
1. Right internal jugular approach chest single lumen Port-a-cath placement
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein
was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent
ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which
confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right
atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a
micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was
advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire
was then passed distally into the IVC.
Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the
upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local
anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 2.5 cm transverse
incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt
dissection. The single lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The
catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site
from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then
connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing
the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found.
The port was then placed in the subcutaneous pocket and secured with ___
ethilon 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. ___ subcuticular Vicryl sutures and
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. Final fluoroscopic image showing port with
catheter tip terminating in the right atrium.
IMPRESSION:
Successful placement of a single lumen chest power Port-a-cath via the right
internal jugular venous approach. The tip of the catheter terminates in the
right atrium. The catheter is ready for use.

HISTORY: ___ male recently post-op from right total hip arthroplasty,
now presenting with right lower extremity pain and swelling. Assess for DVT.
COMPARISON: Right lower extremity Doppler ultrasound from ___.
RIGHT LOWER EXTREMITY DOPPLER ULTRASOUND: Grayscale and Doppler sonograms of
the bilateral common femoral, right superficial femoral, right popliteal,
right posterior tibial, and right peroneal veins were obtained. There is
normal flow, compressibility, and augmentation.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of right lower extremity DVT.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ male recently post-op from right hip total arthroplasty.
Patient now presenting with tenderness at the surgical incision site. Assess
for underlying abscess.
COMPARISON: None available
TARGETED RIGHT LATERAL SOFT TISSUE ULTRASOUND: Targeted ultrasound was
performed at the site of the recent incision for right total hip arthroplasty.
There is mild soft tissue edema, though no drainable fluid collection is
identified beneath the incision site.
IMPRESSION: No drainable fluid collection deep to the recent surgical
incision along the right lateral hip.
Radiology Report
CT EXAMINATION OF THE PELVIS
HISTORY: ___ man who is status post right total hip arthroplasty
performed ___. Admitted for severe right hip pain radiating to
right ankle. Evaluation for retroperitoneal and / or hip soft tissue
hematoma.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector axial CT examination of the pelvis and proximal
lower extremities was performed without the intravenous administration of
contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were then obtained.
COMPARISON: Radiographs of the right hip performed on ___ as well
as ___.
FINDINGS:
Marked asymmetric enlargement secondary to large hematoma of the right gluteal
musculature relative to the left centered within the gluteus medius.
Asymmetric enlargement of the proximal right thigh musculature involving the
vastus lateralis and intermedius is also present. Blood products within the
gluteal musculature measures approximately 65 ___ Units.
Asymmetric subcutaneous edema overlies these enlarged muscles of the right
gluteal region and proximal right thigh. No drainable subcutaneous fluid
collection is present.
Right psoas muscle is asymmetrically diminutive in size relative to the left.
No CT evidence for retroperitoneal hematoma.
Osteophyte formation and mild facet joint arthropathy is present within the
lower lumbar spine. Mild sclerosis is present along the sacroiliac joints.
Vacuum phenomenon is present within the sacroiliac joints bilaterally.
Patient is status post open reduction internal fixation of the right hip.
Surgical hardware is intact. Femoral component is well seated within the
acetabular prosthesis. No evidence for periprosthetic fracture. No evidence
for loosening adjacent to the femoral component within the proximal right
femur. Significant subchondral sclerosis within the right acetabulum is
unchanged.
Ovoid peripherally ossified area anteromedial to the right hip is present
measuring approximately 3.6 cm AP x 3.1 cm TRV. Patient is status post
pinning of a left femoral neck fracture. Surgical pins intact. No evidence
for acute fracture within the pelvis. Femora are intact.
Small left ___ cyst measuring 3.6 cm AP x 3.2 cm TRV.
Bilateral mild osteophyte formation is present along the medial and lateral
patellar facets. Minimal osteophyte formation is also present along the
medial aspect of the medial femoral trochlea bilaterally. Imaged portions of
the proximal tibia and fibula are intact and normal in appearance.
Incidental note is made of bilateral small-to-moderate fat-containing inguinal
hernias. No significant interval change of a 2.1 cm focal convexity along the
posterolateral aspect of the lower pole of the right kidney measuring
approximately 31.6 Hounsfield units in attenuation, likely representing a
proteinaceous renal cyst. Finding demonstrates no significant interval change
in size since ___.
Scattered atherosclerotic calcifications are present throughout the lower
abdominal and pelvic arterial vasculature. No free fluid within the pelvis.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large hematoma centered within the right gluteus medius extending
inferiorly into the posterolateral aspect of the proximal right lower
extremity.
2. No CT evidence for underlying soft tissue mass within the effected
musculature, however follow contrast enhanced MR examination would provide
further imaging evaluation upon resolution.
3. No drainable subcutaneous fluid collection.
4. No retroperitoneal hematoma.
5. Status post right total hip arthroplasty. Surgical hardware intact with
no evidence for hardware loosening / failure. Sclerosis within the right
acetabulum is unchanged.
6. Status post pinning of a left femoral neck fracture, surgical pins intact.
7. Heterotopic ossification versus myositis ossificans anteromedial to the
right hip.
8. Small left ___ cyst.
Preliminary findings conveyed to the covering medicine team via telephone at
5:30 pm on ___.
Radiology Report
SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST
REASON FOR EXAM: Status post orthopedic surgery with cough.
Comparison is made with preop evaluation, ___.
Cardiac size is top normal, is accentuated by the projection and technique. A
widened mediastinum is also due to the projection. Aside from atelectasis is
in the right lower medial hemithorax, the lungs are clear. There is no
pneumothorax or pleural effusion. there is very mild vascular congestion.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ patient status post total hip replacement and
presentation with gluteal hematoma about 10 days after surgery. Surgical
evacuation of hematoma with intraoperative finding of active bleeding which
was controlled at the time of closure. Evaluation for source of hemorrhage
such as pseudoaneurysm.
CLINICIANS: Dr. ___ (fellow), Dr ___ and Dr. ___
___ performed the procedure.
ANESTHESIA: Analgesia was provided by divided doses of 100 mcg of fentanyl.
PROCEDURES PERFORMED:
1. Selective superior gluteal arteriogram.
2. Internal iliac arteriogram.
3. External iliac arteriogram.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Informed consent was obtained outlining the risks and
benefits of the procedure. The patient was brought to the angiography suite
and placed supine on the imaging table. The left groin was prepped and draped
in the usual sterile fashion. A preprocedure timeout was performed.
A left common femoral artery access the selected given the exam indications
Using the micropuncture Seldinger approach, access was obtained into the left
common femoral artery. After placing a 0.035 ___ wire over the
micropuncture sheath, the latter was exchanged for a 25cm 5 ___ bright tip
vascular sheath. A Cobra catheter was then used to cross over to the right
common iliac artery and then exchanged for a straight flush catheter. A
selective external iliac arteriogram was performed in multiple projections at
this point.
Following review of the images attention was then turned to the internal iliac
artery With the help of a Terumo Glidewire, the internal iliac and more
selectively the posterior division (superior gluteal arteries) were then
selected and additional arteriograms performed.
Given the normal angiographic appearance no intervention was required . The
wires, catheters and the sheaths were finally removed and hemostasis achieved
by holding pressure at the left groin for 20 minutes. The patient tolerated
the procedure well. There were no immediate complications.
FINDINGS:
Internal iliac, external iliac, and selective superior gluteal arteriograms in
multiple projections demonstrated expected mild hyperemia involving the
surgical site following right total hip arthroplasty
No active contrast extravasation, vascular malformation or pseudoaneurysm
identified.
IMPRESSION:
Uncomplicated internal iliac, external iliac and selective superior gluteal
arteriograms with expected postoperative hyperemia, but no evidence of active
contrast extravasation, vascular malformation or pseudoaneurysm.
Findings were conveyed to ___ ANP, immediately following the
procedure.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ man status post right total hip arthroplasty with
right hip hematoma. Evaluate for DVT.
___.
FINDINGS: Gray-scale and color Doppler sonograms with spectral analysis of
the bilateral common femoral veins and the right superficial femoral,
popliteal, posterior tibial, and peroneal veins were performed. There is
normal compressibility and flow. Normal phasicity is seen in the common
femoral veins bilaterally.
In the right posterior calf, a superficial single vein without adjacent artery
has echogenic thrombus and is non-compressible, without flow.
IMPRESSION:
1. No right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.
2. Superficial thrombophlebitis in the right posterior calf.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ male with new right PICC line.
COMPARISON: Comparison made with chest radiograph from ___.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ male with a pancreatic mass the CBD dilatation seen on
ultrasound at any time. Assess pancreatic mass.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1 and T2 weighted images were acquired on a 1.5 T
magnet, including dynamic 3D imaging, obtained prior to and during and after
the uneventful intravenous administration of 5 mL of Gadavist.
COMPARISON: US ___
FINDINGS:
LUNG BASES: There are trace bilateral pleural effusions.
ABDOMEN: There is a T2 hyperintensity with centripetal fill in within
hepatic segment 6, reflecting a hemangioma. This measures 1.2 cm. Scattered
through the liver there are segmental foci of arterial hyperenhancement within
hepatic segment 6 and 4a (series 1301:58, 46) which becomes isointense to the
background liver on the delayed phases and may represent FNH versus perfusion
abnormality.
The CBD is makedly low signal intensity on T2 extending to the proximal
intrahepatic biliary tree. This is compatible with pneumobilia, presumably
from sphincterotomy, which extends into the left intrahepatic ducts as well as
the gallbladder fundus. There is mild dilatation of the central intrahepatic
biliary tree. The common bile duct is distended, measuring up to 1 cm. There
is no obstructing mass lesion seen. The duct tapers as it enters into the
ampullary region. There is pericholecystic fluid or mild wall edema,
nonspecific. The gallbladder is not particularly distended.
The pancreas is normal in signal intensity and the main pancreatic duct is not
dilated. There is a pauctiy of normal pancreatic tissues within the head-neck
junction over 1-2 cm, which may reflect fat depostion or prior insult. Within
the neck of the pancreas there is a 1.1 cm cyst (37:4) most compatible with a
side branch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. It communicates with the
pancreatic duct. This corresponds to the abnormality seen on ultrasound. There
are smaller cysts seen within the pancreatic head, less than 1 cm.
The spleen is normal in size. The adrenal glands are unremarkable. The
kidneys enhance symmetrically and demonstrate no focal mass lesion. There is
a tiny cyst within the left interpolar region, too small to characterize. The
visualized portions of the large and small bowel are unremarkable. There is
no ascites.
BONE MARROW: There are no marrow signal abnormalities. Within the upper
thoracic spine. There are some T2 bright foci within the vertebral bodies,
most compatible with hemangiomas.
IMPRESSION:
1. There is no solid or obstructing mass identified within the pancreatic
head. Within the pancreatic neck there is a 1 cm cyst most compatible with a
side branch IPMN as described above which corresponds to the abnormality seen
on the ultrasound. Smaller cysts are seen in the pancreatic head.
2. There is dilatation of the common bile duct measuring up to 1 cm without
evidence of obstruction. Pneumobilia is seen, status post ERCP and
sphincterotomy.
3. Benign appearing lesions within the liver including a segment 6
hemangioma, and FNH/perfusional abnormalities as described above.
4. Trace pleural effusions.

resection, liver segment resection, readmitted due to fevers chills malaise
undergoing extensive FUO workup all largely negative.// FUO DDx- surgical clip
fluid pocket, reemergence of malignancy, other focus of infection in liver
TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were
acquired in a 1.5 T magnet.
Intravenous contrast: 7 mL Gadavist.
COMPARISON: CT of the abdomen and pelvis dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Lower Thorax: There is extensive right lung base atelectasis. There is no
pleural or pericardial effusion.
Liver: Similar to the recent prior CT there is a 2.3 x 2.5 cm T2 hyperintense
T1 hypointense nonenhancing fluid collection in segment ___ without peripheral
inflammatory change, most likely a postoperative seroma (1003:73). A
dependent focus of susceptibility within this corresponds to the vascular clip
seen on recent prior CT. There is heterogeneous dependent debris within this
collection. An additional small nonenhancing fluid collection along the
falciform ligament measures up to 2.0 x 1.2 cm (1003:84). This contained
heterogeneous material on the prior study and is of uncertain etiology,
possibly containing a small amount of fat necrosis, although Surgicel or a
dropped gallstone could have a similar appearance.
Multiple heterogeneously peripherally enhancing masses are present within the
liver, increased in size and number from the prior study. Most of these are
centered at the porta hepatis with the dominant mass measuring up to 3.3 x 2.5
cm (1001:95). Additional smaller masses are seen in the region of the porta
hepatis, some which may be in direct contact with the primary lesion described
above. There are several discrete additional satellite lesions throughout the
left lobe with the largest measuring up to 2.2 x 1.9 cm (1001:69).
The mass effect at the hilum causes near complete occlusion of the main and
right portal veins, which remain patent distally. This likely represents
bland thrombus, although motion degradation somewhat limits assessment. There
is mass effect exerted on the common hepatic artery, which remains patent.
Biliary: There is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation.
The gallbladder is surgically absent.
Pancreas: Patient is status post distal pancreatectomy without evidence of
abnormality in the surgical bed. There is no ductal dilatation. There is no
focal lesion.
Spleen: Surgically absent.
Adrenal Glands: Small left adrenal nodule is unchanged from the prior study,
demonstrating drop in signal on in and out of phase imaging consistent with an
adenoma (04:43). The right adrenal gland is normal.
Kidneys: There is no hydronephrosis. Small simple cysts are seen bilaterally.
There is no suspicious renal lesion.
Gastrointestinal Tract: No bowel obstruction.
Lymph Nodes: No lymphadenopathy.
Vasculature: Focal central filling defect within the proximal celiac axis was
not definitely seen on prior studies and may have a small amount of
enhancement worrisome for tumor thrombus within the celiac artery (___).
Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: No suspicious osseous lesion. No focal
abnormality.
IMPRESSION:
1. 2.5 cm fluid collection in the right hepatic lobe containing debris and
associated with a surgical clip, likely postoperative seroma. Superimposed
infection cannot be entirely excluded.
2. 2 cm right hepatic fluid collection containing heterogeneous material on
the prior study may represent an area of fat necrosis.
3. Multiple suspicious hepatic masses primarily within the hepatic hilum with
scattered satellite lesions in the left hepatic lobe are highly suspicious for
recurrent malignancy, increased in size and number from prior studies.
4. Similar near occlusive thrombus involving the main and right portal veins.
5. Filling defect in the proximal celiac axis with possible low-level
enhancement worrisome for tumor thrombus within the celiac artery.

acute chest pain and dyspnea// Eval acute chest pain and dyspnea.
TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph
COMPARISON: ___
IMPRESSION:
The tip of the right PICC line projects over the mid SVC. There are low
bilateral lung volumes. Elevation of the right hemidiaphragm is again noted.
There is a probable small right pleural effusion with subjacent atelectasis.
No pneumothorax. There is no focal consolidation, pleural effusion or
pneumothorax on the left. The size of the cardiomediastinal silhouette is
within normal limits.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL
INDICATION: Interval change in PVT? New signs of obstructive hepatic pro
TECHNIQUE: Gray scale, color, and spectral Doppler evaluation of the abdomen
was performed.
COMPARISON: Multiple prior comparisons, most recent from ___
FINDINGS:
Liver: The hepatic parenchyma is within normal limits. Contour of the liver
is smooth. Multiple hypoechoic lesions, primarily adjacent to the portal vein
are re-demonstrated, measuring up to 5.3 x 5.2 x 5.0 cm (previously 3.9 x 3.8
x 3.8 cm). Complex fluid collections are again seen in the gallbladder fossa
and along the falciform ligament, better characterized on prior MRI from ___. There is no ascites.
Bile ducts: There is mild central intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation,
unchanged compared to prior exam. The common hepatic duct measures 5 mm mm.
Gallbladder: Patient is status post cholecystectomy with collections in the
gallbladder fossa, as above.
Pancreas: The pancreas is obscured by overlying bowel gas.
Spleen: The spleen is surgically absent.
Doppler evaluation:
The main portal vein is patent, with flow in the appropriate direction.
Main portal vein velocity is 24 cm/sec.
Right portal vein is nonvisualized, suggesting underlying occlusion. Left
portal vein is patent with hepatofugal flow, unchanged.
The main hepatic artery is patent, with appropriate waveform. Peak systolic
velocity measures 188 centimeters/second (previously 253 centimeters/second).
Right, middle and left hepatic veins are patent, with appropriate waveforms.
Splenic vein is patent, with antegrade flow.
IMPRESSION:
1. No new intrahepatic biliary dilatation. Unchanged mild central
intrahepatic biliary dilation is similar compared to multiple prior exams.
2. Lack of visualization of the right portal vein likely due to occlusion.
Left portal vein is patent with hepatofugal flow. Main portal vein appears
patent with hepatopetal flow.
3. Hypoechoic hepatic masses adjacent to the porta hepatis are better
visualized on MRI from ___.
4. Complex fluid collections in the region of the gallbladder fossa and along
the falciform ligament are unchanged and better visualized on MRI from ___.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: fever// eval for infiltrate
IMPRESSION:
In comparison with the study of ___, there again are low lung volumes
with elevation of the right hemidiaphragmatic contour and atelectatic changes
above it. No evidence of vascular congestion, left pleural effusion, or acute
focal pneumonia.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRCP.
INDICATION: Metastatic gallbladder cancer on chemotherapy with fever of
uncertain etiology, although likely tumor fever.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1-T2 weighted images of the liver were obtained in
1.5 tesla magnet including sequences obtained prior to and following
intravenous gadolinium administration and acquisition of dedicated MRCP
sequences. Study included administration of 7 cc of Gadovist and dilute
Gadavist as oral contrast (1 cc mix with 50 cc of diluted into 50 cc.
COMPARISON: Recent MRI from ___.
FINDINGS:
There is similar minor atelectasis at the right lung base.
There has been marked interval short-term increase in a heterogeneous
conglomerate infiltrative mass along the hepatic hilum with necrotic
components. Masse is difficult to precisely quantify due to its infiltrative
character, but it can be measured as approximately up to 74 x 60 mm in maximum
axial extent (1702:99) compared to as much as only 42 x 37 mm before only two
weeks earlier. Many necrotic liver masses have also rapidly increased in
overall size, although largely necrosis. For example, rim enhancing
metastasis along the fifth segment of the liver, previously 10 x 10 mm, now
measures up to 19 x 15 mm. One of several lesions along the left lateral
segments of the liver, previously 12 x 10 mm, now measures up to 20 x 16 mm.
Associated with increased hilar mass is a new tight stricture of the
extrahepatic biliary ducts. Upper ducts are obliterated over a segment which
measures up to 24 mm in length (perhaps best depicted on 1: 1200). Upstream
of the rapidly developing stricture is new moderate widespread intrahepatic
biliary dilatation.
Similar to the prior findings, the main portal vein and right and left portal
veins are thrombosed and occluded with invasion by the mass. Distal portal
venous branches are small and generally opacify probably due to distal
collateralization from the hepatic artery. This is very similar aside from
some mild increase in extent of proximal main Portal venous thrombosis,
specifically a proximal bland component. Main hilar mass again encases the
common and proper hepatic arteries as well as proximal branches of the right
and left arteries, but narrowing is mild. Similar to prior findings there is
a possible filling defect nonocclusive filling defect along the celiac trunk.
Hepatic venous system remains patent. There are two accessory right inferior
hepatic veins.
Upper portion of the pancreatic head is probably involved with the mass at
least to a minor degree, but the pancreas is generally spared. Patient is
status post distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. There has been no short
term change in mild left adrenal thickening versus nodule. The kidneys are
unremarkable.
There is small fluid collection along the falciform ligament which is probably
not significant clinically, somewhat increased. This type of fluid collection
is frequently seen in transplant patients and thought to be due to lymphatic
congestion which might be the cause in this case as well. The latter measures
43 x 18 mm on this examination compared to 38 x 13 mm before.A fluid
collection along the resection site in the right lobe associated with prior
cholecystectomy has decreased somewhat, now measuring up to 25 x 17 mm
compared to 26 x 23 mm previously. These collections do not show restricted
diffusion.
Mass does not seem to involve the duodenum, which is not obstructed. Inferior
vena cava is mild-to-moderately narrowed but patent. Metastases in ___
pouch in immediately posterior to the pancreatic head have increased in size.
There is widespread increased edema and ill-defined Fluid in fat of the upper
abdomen, but only trace ascites.
IMPRESSION:
1. Increased sizes of dominant hepatic hilar mass and hepatic/regional
metastases with extensive necrotic components.
2. New extrahepatic biliary stricture associated with this appearance
including obliteration of the duct over a segment of nearly 2.5 cm. Moderate
new intrahepatic biliary dilatation upstream.
3. Slight decrease in postoperative collection at the hepatic resection site
near the gallbladder fossa. Mild increase in a collection along the falciform
ligament which is very unlikely to represent an infectious process.
4. Similar occlusive thrombosis of the central portal venous system aside
from mildly increased proximal extension of bland component.
5. Continued patency of hepatic arterial system with similar nonocclusive
filling defect along the celiac axis.

# Hypertensive Emergency: Likely related to increased NaCl
intake and undertreated HTN given LVH. Given blurry vision,
concern for end organ damage. When I saw patient she no longer
had headaches. We continued home lisinopril 40 and started
amlodipine 5 and was given IV labetalol (while in ER) and when
on the floors was given PO 100TID. Cardiac enzymes checked adn

Chief Complaint:
Shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is an ___ yo with a history of metastatic NSCLC (mets
to brain and bone), multiple GI bleeds ___ angioectasias,
diverticulosis, CAD s/p CABG, Afib, AVR in ___, ___ (last ECHO
showing EF 50-55% in ___ is presenting with acute onset of
SOB in the setting of watery diarrhea. The patient was seen at
her PCP's office on ___ where she noted constipation x1 week.
She had finally had 1 BM at that point with good relief. She
had no N/V/diarrhea/abdominal pain at that time. She did have a
mild cough but no other URI symptoms, no chest pain, SOB, sputum
production or hemoptysis. The patient was instructed to
continue aggressive bowel regimen and her pain medications were
renewed at that time.
The patient noted that yesterday morning she had a big breakfast
after which she was incontinent of stool which was "food
contents." Afterwards, she continued to have diarrhea which she
describes as watery bowel movements, she cannot say how many
times she went. During this time she reports no bright red
blood in her stools but she does report that they were very dark
colored and loose. She says this is not like the other times
she has had GI bleeds. She denies any N/V associated with the
diarrhea and no abdominal pain. She had a slight discomfort in
her abdomen and she has not eaten since yesterday morning for
this reason. She reports little appetite over the last several
weeks but no significant weight loss. No fevers/chills. She has
noted some dizziness/lightheadedness but no falls or syncopal
episodes.
Patient's home nurse called EMS this am when patient become more
acutely SOB. She describes the shortness of breath as more of a
fatigue rather than air hunger, she had no chest pain or
tightness in her chest with the shortness.
In the ED, vital signs on arrival were T 97.5 HR 110 BP 93/52 RR
18 O2 82-83% on RA which improved to 94% 4L NC. The patient was
noted to be in Afib with RVR. She did not appear to be in any
respiratory distress and she was speaking in complete sentences.
Given her tachycardia and collapsible IVC seen on bedside ECHO,
she was bolused 500cc NS. Fluids were given cautiously given
history of possible sCHF. BNP was noted to be 3845. Her stool
was guaiac positive, brown stool. She had a CXR showing diffuse
opacification throughout the left lung as well as a significant
pleural effusion which is new from prior exams. Given the
unclear etiology of the opacities and effusion in the setting of
a known left sided primary lung cancer, patient was
presumptively treated for pneumonia with Vancomycin 1gram,
Cefepime 2grams and Levaquin 750mg. She was bolused an
additional 500cc NS before transfer to the MICU.
On arrival to the MICU, T 98.6 oral HR 105 BP 118/50 RR 22 O2
95% 3L NC. The patient denies any SOB currently and feels fine
on the nasal cannula. She has not had a BM since she was in the
ED where she reports one watery stool. She has some pain in her
right hip which is chronic from bone metastasis.

Imaging/Studies:
___ Portable CXR
As compared to the previous radiograph, there is a new left
parenchymal opacity and a relatively extensive left pleural
effusion. The right lung has not substantially changed in
appearance. However, at the level of the right ECG lead, zone of
increased parenchymal density is noted The
left heart border is not visualized.
___ Bilateral hip x-ray
A pre-existing right iliac osteolytic lesion, pre-described on a
CT
examination from ___, is not currently visible on
the
radiograph. There is currently no plain radiographic evidence of
osteolytic bone lesions. The left-sided zone of increased bone
density in the iliac bone, consistent with Paget's disease, is
unchanged in extent and severity. In almost unchanged manner,
bilateral degenerative changes in the hips are noted, but no
evidence of femoral fracture is seen. Mild degenerative changes
at the level of the sacroiliac joints.
___ Plerual fluid cytology
POSITIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS,
consistent with adenocarcinoma.
___ Portable CXR
Following left thoracentesis, there has been decrease in size of
left pleural effusion with residual moderate effusion remaining,
and no
visible pneumothorax. A large, mass-like area of consolidation
in the left upper lobe is again demonstrated as well as a
smaller mass in the periphery of the right upper lobe and
smaller pulmonary nodules, better visualized on recent CT chest
of ___. As compared to the recent study, there has
been some improved aeration at the left lung base, likely due to
improving atelectasis adjacent to the decreased effusion.
Bilateral interstitial opacities have slightly worsened, and may
reflect interstitial edema and less likely lymphangitic spread
of tumor given the rapid change.
___ Portable CXR
There is no pneumothorax or substantial recurrence of previously
tapped left pleural effusion. Left upper lung is largely
replaced by tumor and discrete metastatic mass is seen in the
right upper lobe. Cardiac silhouette is partially obscured, but
enlarged compared to ___, raising concern for pericardial
effusion. Interstitial abnormality in the right lung has not
cleared following interval worsening from ___ to
___. It should be considered edema in terms of
therapeutic intervention, but there may already be a component
of hematogenous dissemination of tumor with lymphatic invasion.

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Hypoxia, evaluation for pneumonia.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is a new left
parenchymal opacity and a relatively extensive left pleural effusion. The
right lung has not substantially changed in appearance. However, at the level
of the right ECG lead, zone of increased parenchymal density is noted. The
left heart border is not visualized.
At the time of dictation and observation, 1:49 p.m., on the ___, physician ___ was paged for notification.
Radiology Report
HIPS
INDICATION: Known metastatic lung cancer, worsening hip pain, evaluation for
fracture.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: A pre-existing right iliac osteolytic lesion, pre-described on a CT
examination from ___, is not currently visible on the
radiograph. There is currently no plain radiographic evidence of osteolytic
bone lesions. The left-sided zone of increased bone density in the iliac
bone, consistent with Paget's disease, is unchanged in extent and severity.
In almost unchanged manner, bilateral degenerative changes in the hips are
noted, but no evidence of femoral fracture is seen. Mild degenerative changes
at the level of the sacroiliac joints.
Radiology Report
PORTABLE CHEST X-RAY, ___
COMPARISON: Study of ___.
FINDINGS: Following left thoracentesis, there has been decrease in size of
left pleural effusion with residual moderate effusion remaining, and no
visible pneumothorax. A large, mass-like area of consolidation in the left
upper lobe is again demonstrated as well as a smaller mass in the periphery of
the right upper lobe and smaller pulmonary nodules, better visualized on
recent CT chest of ___. As compared to the recent study, there
has been some improved aeration at the left lung base, likely due to improving
atelectasis adjacent to the decreased effusion. Bilateral interstitial
opacities have slightly worsened, and may reflect interstitial edema and less
likely lymphangitic spread of tumor given the rapid change.
Radiology Report
AP CHEST, 9:12 A.M. ON ___
HISTORY: ___ woman after left thoracentesis on ___. Evaluate
change in pulmonary edema.
IMPRESSION: There is no pneumothorax or substantial recurrence of previously
tapped left pleural effusion. Left upper lung is largely replaced by tumor
and discrete metastatic mass is seen in the right upper lobe. Cardiac
silhouette is partially obscured, but enlarged compared to ___, raising
concern for pericardial effusion. Interstitial abnormality in the right lung
has not cleared following interval worsening from ___ to ___.
It should be considered edema in terms of therapeutic intervention, but there
may already be a component of hematogenous dissemination of tumor with
lymphatic invasion.

History of Present Illness:
___ is a ___ year-old right-handed woman with HTN, HLD,
inflammatory bowel/diverticulitis s/p resection, strong family
history of hypercoagulability who presents with perisistent
vertigo, acute occipital HA, and episode of confusion.
The patient endorses 2 month history of transient episodes of
clockwise room spinning that are aggravated by head position
change (mostly to the right) consistent with likely peripheral
etiology. She notices that every time she kneels down to water
her plants at home, she turns her head to the right and has a
sudden onset with typical resolution within ___ minutes when she
sits down and rests. There are no other associated neurology
symptoms.
Yesterday she was in her usual state of health until she was
driving to pick up her grandson in her ___ of ___.
While driving she suddenly became disoriented and could not find
her way to the pickup location, even though she drives there
three times per week. She called her son-in-law and he thought
she seemed confused and was able to direct her with great
effort.
She was not aphasic or dysarthric on the phone. She eventually
felt better after about 20 minutes, but realized she forgot her
purse at home which was very unusual for her. She went to bed
feeling tired but awoke this morning again in her normal state
of
health. Around 7AM she was at her daughter's house cleaning
when
she knelt down and turned her head to the right provoking severe
vertigo. This episode was unusual in that it lasted for hours

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with alcohol intoxication, presenting from
outside hospital after a fall and striking head. Per verbal report, the
patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Second read of outside hospital head
CT.
COMPARISON: None available in the ___ system.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images of the brain were obtained without intravenous
contrast. Images were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. Cervical spine
imaging was performed with axial acquisitions. Coronal and sagittal
reformations of the cervical spine were prepared.
NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: There is diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage bilaterally
filling the sylvian fissures, suprasellar fissure, and perimesencephalic
cisterns. The hemorrhage is particularly dense in the pontine and medullary
cisterns.
There is a moderate amount of intraventricular hemorrhage within the frontal
horns of the lateral ventricles, third ventricle, and extending inferiorly
into the fourth ventricle. The lateral ventricles are mildly dilated,
including the temporal horns. Findings are concerning for developing
obstructive hydrocephalus. There is no shift of the usually midline
structures. Superiorly in the right frontal lobe is a small punctate
hyperdense focus which may represent a small amount of intraparenchymal
hemorrhage or deep subarachnoid blood (2:24). There is no evidence of
infarction. No definite mass lesion is identified. There is no scalp
hematoma or acute skull fracture. The visualized paranasal sinuses and
mastoid air cells are well aerated.
IMPRESSION, Brain CT:
1. Diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage filling the suprasellar cistern,
perimesencephalic cisterns, and sylvian fissures. The hemorrhage is
particularly dense in the pontine and medullary cisterns, raising concern of a
vertebral or basilar artery source. No midline shift.
2. Moderate intraventricular hemorrhage extending inferiorly into the fourth
ventricle with dilatation of the lateral ventricles and temporal horns,
concerning for developing obstructive hydrocephalus.
3. Punctate focus in the superior right frontal lobe adjacent to the falx,
which may represent a small focus of intraparenchymal hemorrhage or additional
amount of subarachnoid blood.
CERVICAL SPINE CT WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: There is no evidence of
fracture, malalignment or prevertebral soft tissue swelling. The lateral
masses of C1 are symmetric about the dens. There is mild degenerative change,
most severe at C5-C6 with intervertebral disc space narrowing and mild
anterior osteophytosis. Outline of the thecal sac is unremarkable without
evidence of critical canal stenosis. The thyroid gland is homogeneous,
without focal nodule. Imaged portions of the lung apices are clear.
IMPRESSION Cervical spine CT: No evidence fracture or malalignment.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ woman status post fall with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
COMPARISON: CT head without contrast, ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images through the head were obtained without
contrast. Following intravenous administration of contrast, MDCT angiographic
images of the head and upper neck were obtained from the level of the thyroid
laminae inferiorly up to the vertex of the skull in the arterial phase. MIPs,
volume-rendered images, and curved reformats were generated and reviewed.
CT HEAD:
Again seen is diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage filling bilateral sylvian
fissures, and the suprasellar and perimesencephalic cisterns. The hemorrhage
is most prominent in the prepontine and -medullary cisterns, extending
inferiorly along the anterior surface of the brainstem to the level of the
foramen magnum. There is a moderate amount of intraventricular hemorrhage
within bilateral lateral ventricles, third ventricle, and in the fourth
ventricle. There is no midline shift seen. There is no evidence of
infarction. No definite mass lesion is seen. No skull fracture is present.
Visualized paranasal sinuses, orbits, and mastoid air cells are unremarkable.
CTA HEAD: Bilateral internal carotid arteries and their major branches are
patent with no evidence of stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysm
formation. There is no evidence of vasospasm.
There is focal fusiform enlargement of the V4 segment of right vertebral
artery extending along segment of 1.1 cm in length. The right posterior
inferior cerebellar artery appears to originate from the proximal portion of
the focally enlarged vertebral artery. The artery shows tapered narrowing
just proximal to the dilated segment and resumes normal caliber in the most
distal portion of the V4 segment with a normal-appearing confluence with left
vertebral artery. Basilar artery and its major branches are patent with no
evidence of stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysm formation.
The left internal carotid artery measures 8.5 and 5 mm, proximally at the
level of bifurcation and distally in the neck, respectively. The right
internal carotid artery measures 9.5 and 5 mm at the level of bifurcation and
distally in the neck, respectively. Visualized vertebral arteries in the neck
appear normal, with no evidence of stenosis, occlusion or dissection, more
proximally.
IMPRESSION:
1. Diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage filling the suprasellar, perimesencephalic
and basal cisterns, foramen magnum, and bilateral sylvian fissures, with
intraventricular extension, as described above.
2. Focal fusiform enlargement within the distal portion of the V4 segment of
the right vertebral artery, with appearance suggestive of pseudoaneurysm. The
right ___ from the proximal aspect of the focal enlargement. A
gradual tapering of the vessel lumen is seen both proximal and immediately
distal to this focal dilatation, raising the possibility of underlying focal
dissection with pseudoaneurysm formation and secondary rupture.
COMMENT: These findings were relayed to Dr. ___ (Interventional
Neuroradiology service) through Ms. ___, N.P., by Drs. ___
___ the catheter angiography in the AM on ___.
Radiology Report
PRE-OPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: Subarachnoid hemorrhage, right vertebral artery
dissecting aneurysm.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Right common carotid artery arteriogram, left common
carotid artery arteriogram, left vertebral artery arteriogram, right vertebral
artery arteriogram, right common femoral artery arteriogram, and Angio-Seal
closure of right common femoral artery puncture site.
INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Coil embolization of right vertebral
artery aneurysm.
ATTENDING: ___, M.D.
ASSISTANT: ___, PA-C and Dr. ___.
DETAILS OF PROCEDURE: The patient was brought to the angiography suite. IV
sedation anesthesia was induced. Following this, both groins were prepped and
draped in a sterile fashion. Access was gained to the right common femoral
artery using a Seldinger technique and a 6 ___ vascular sheath was placed
in the right common femoral artery. We now catheterized the right vertebral
artery and AP and lateral filming was done. This demonstrated that the right
vertebral artery had a dissecting aneurysm distal to the ___ involving
the ___ also. We now catheterized the left vertebral artery, the
right common carotid artery, and left common carotid artery; no other
aneurysms were visualized. At this point, a decision was made to intervene on
this aneurysm. We now recatheterized the right vertebral artery with a
___ 2 catheter and 6 ___ Neuron catheter was placed in the distal right
vertebral artery. Following this, using a microcatheter microwire combination
of SL-10 and Synchro standard microwire, the aneurysm was catheterized and
coiled starting with a framing coil of microsphere 4 mm. Following this, 360
Target coils were used until the aneurysm was completely obliterated.
Proximally, a segment was left open where the ___ was seen to be arising. A
right common femoral artery arteriogram was done and an Angio-Seal 6 ___
device was used for closure of the right common femoral artery puncture site.
FINDINGS: Right vertebral artery arteriogram shows a dissecting aneurysm of
the vertebral artery at the ___ extending distally for about a
centimeter. The distal caliber of the vertebral artery is significantly
narrowed. The aneurysm itself measures about 4 mm x 1 cm.
Right vertebral artery arteriogram status post coiling demonstrates that the
distal portion of the right vertebral artery no longer fills. The ___ is
seen to be patent and the vertebral artery proximal to the ___ is open.
Right common carotid artery arteriogram shows filling of the right external
carotid artery and its branches. The right internal carotid artery fills well
along the cervical, petrous, cavernous, and supraclinoid portion. Both the
anterior and middle cerebral arteries are seen well with no evidence of
aneurysm.
Left vertebral artery arteriogram shows that the left vertebral artery fills
well and is seen to be of sufficient caliber to supply the basilar artery by
itself. The basilar artery fills well. Both superior cerebellar arteries are
seen well. Since there are bilateral fetal PCAs, the PCAs are not filled well
by the posterior circulation.
Left common carotid artery arteriogram shows filling of the left internal
carotid artery along the cervical, petrous, cavernous, and supraclinoid
portion. Both anterior and middle cerebral arteries are seen well. There is
no evidence of aneurysms. The left external carotid artery fills well along
with its branches.
Right common femoral artery arteriogram shows a widely patent right common
femoral artery.
IMPRESSION: ___ underwent cerebral angiography and coil embolization
of a dissecting vertebral artery aneurysm. There were no complications. The
ACT was maintained at around 250 during the procedure with IV heparin.
Radiology Report
STUDY: Skull series, ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with right vertebral dissection,

status. Evaluate for intracranial process.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain. No
contrast was administered.
COMPARISON: NECT of the head on ___. Cerebral angiogram on
___.
FINDINGS: There has been significant amount of resorption and redistribution
of subarachnoid blood noted on NECT of the head on ___. Blood products
are seen layering in the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles. There is
residual blood in the fourth ventricle and parasagittal sulci. There is no
evidence of new hemorrhage. There is no shift of midline structures. The
temporal horns of the lateral ventricles are prominent, unchanged from
___. Bifrontal cortical atrophy is noted. No fracture is identified.
The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities
are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of new hemorrhage.
2. Resorption and redistribution of subarachnoid hemorrhage with layering of
blood products in the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles and fourth
ventricle.
Radiology Report

INDICATION: Line placement.
COMPARISON: No comparison available at the time of dictation.
FINDINGS: The patient has received a right PICC line. The line is
malpositioned in the internal jugular vein. The line needs to be
repositioned. No evidence of complications, in particular no pneumothorax.
A wet read was delivered at 3:30 by Dr. ___ to IV nursing.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Status post PICC line.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous image, the malpositioned right-sided
PICC line has been substantially pulled back. The tip of the line is still
seen in the axillary region. There is no evidence of complication, notably no
pneumothorax. Borderline size of the cardiac silhouette without pulmonary
edema. No pleural effusions. No pneumonia.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with right vertebral artery aneurysm.
Question DVT.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS: Grayscale and color Doppler sonograms were performed of bilateral
extremities, demonstrating normal compressibility, color flow, and
augmentation in the common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal veins.
There is also normal color flow in the posterior tibial and peroneal veins.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of DVT.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Subarachnoid hemorrhage with a right vertebral artery dissection
status post coiling.
TECHNIQUE: MRI and MRA of the brain.
COMPARISON: NECT of the head on ___. Carotid and cerebral
angiography on ___.
FINDINGS: Residual intraventricular hemorrhage is noted in the occipital
horns of the lateral ventricles. There are focal areas of an increased
diffusion in the occipital and cerebellar sulci, most likely representing
residual subarachnoid blood. There is slow diffusion in the right cerebellar
distribution that most likely is secondary to residual subarachnoid blood.
The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
The distal portion of the V4 segment of the right vertebral artery is
occluded, consistent with recent coil embolization. The remaining
intracranial arteries and their major branches appear normal without evidence
of stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation.
IMPRESSION:
1. Slow diffusion in the right cerebellar distribution that most likely is
due to residual subarachnoid blood but cannot exclude an ischemic process.
2. Occluded distal portion of V4 segment of the right vertebral artery,
consistent with recent coil embolization.

(baseline AAOx1), sick sinus/syncope s/p PPM, moderate AS (TTE
in ___, and prior MRSA pneumonia, referred to ___ ED from
her nursing home ___ ___ with a 1-week
history of lethargy and "abnormal labs", with only BUN slightly
elevated. He was managed with IV hydration for a few days and
initially improved, but then noted to have decreased O2 sats
(rehab unsure how low they went on room air). He is on
aspiration precautions and given nectar-thickened liquids at his
nursing home. He was placed on O2 and noted to be 88% on 2L NC
with increased RR to 24 and noted decreased PO intake. He is
normally oriented to himself, but generally confused and
tolerates PO intake well. He has a CBI catheter with irrigation
in place since last year for frequent UTI with recent change
after a malfunction last week. He is completely dependent with
ADLs.
Vital signs on transfer from nursing home were: T 98.8 BP
118/76, HR 112, RR 24, O2 sat 88% on 2L. EMS was called and
provided additional IVF given hypotension as well as
supplemental O2 en route. FSBG measured at 135.
He was recently seen by Neurology (___) for his seizure
disorder, not having seen him for ___ years. They noted his
significant decline in mental status compared to that time and
felt his leukopenia might be attributable to the Keppra, so this
is being transitioned to lamotrigine. Cardiology saw him in
___ and confirmed appropriate function of his PPM.
In the ED, initial VS were: 98 70 81/52 22 96% 4L NC. Exam was
notable for complete disorientation (AAOx0), diaphoretic, opens
eyes and responds to voice and name, ___ negative brown
stool, III-IV SEM heard throughout precordium, and a CBI
catheter. Urinalysis showed many WBCs, large leuk esterase with
significant amount of bacteriuria and CXR showed concern for a
RML/RLL infiltrate. He was subsequently covered with cefepime,
vancomycin, and Flagyl. IVFs 1.5L. BP improved to 100-120s/60s
and mental status very slightly improved. Urine output hard to
quantify given CBI. HCP was contacted in the ED and he is a
confirmed full code.
On arrival to the MICU, patient's VS: HR 70 BP 106/45 RR 22 SpO2
97%/RA. He is lethargic and unable to answer many questions but
states that his breathing feels ok and and he denies any pain.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Impression: The patient is an ___ year old man with history of
dementia, sick sinus syd s/p PPM, moderate AS, prior MRSA
pneumonia and C. diff colitis, with indwelling catheter, and a
seizure disorder, presenting with sepsis secondary to likely
pulmonary sources. He was initially admitted to the ICU for
early goal-directed therapy for the sepsis, and was later
transitioned to the hospital medicine service once the sepsis
had been stabilized, and continuosly improved until discharge
back to his long term nursing home.
Acute Issues
# Sepsis: Upon admission, the most likely source was the urinary
tract given his chronic 3-way urinary catheter at rehab and his
UA with >182 WBCs. Aspiration PNA may also have played a role
given his RML/RLL infiltrates on CXR and his poor mental status
with high risk for aspiration. There was no report of fevers or
diarrhea at rehab. He was mildly hypotensive on arrival to the
FICU with SBP in the ___ on no pressors. His BP's improved to
the 100-120s after about 1L total of fluids, and he received
empiric vanc/Zosyn for presumed urosepsis as well as MRSA
covereage given the concern for aspiration PNA. Urine culture
was negative, and therefore cause of symptoms presumed due to
aspiration pneumonia. He will complete a course of augmentin at
his facility for pneumonia.
# Acute encephalopathy on admission Patient was reportedly more
lethargic than usual, per direct discussion with the ___ staff.
His baseline MS is ___ to self, thought to be from vascular
dementia. The most likely cause for his AMS was sepsis from
UTI, but may also have been ___ to starting lamotrigine
recently, although it would not have been expected to resolve as
quickly as was noted if due to medications. We held his
seroquel and trazodone initially, but continued Celexa. He was
resumed on home trazodone and seroquel at discharge.
# Leukopenia: Unclear etiology, may be related to Keppra. He
is currently being transitioned from Keppra to lamotrigine in an
attempt to improve his leukopenia. His underlying
infection/sepsis may be acutely lowering his WBC, although he
has evidence of leukopenia prior to his presentation for sepsis.
ANC at admission is 1300 and he is very mildly neutropenic, so
concern for atypical infections was low. The transition off
keppra was continued, after discussion with his neurologist, and
the Keppra was decreased from 500 mg twice daily to 250/500.
The recommended plan was to continue to decrease the keppra by
250 mg a week (ie: next dose would be 250/250) as the
lamotrigine was increased by ___ each week until goal of 150
mg po bid. At this time, we increased his lamotrigine to 75/75mg
doses.
# Aortic stenosis: Valve area 0.8cm2 in ___. He appears
somewhat volume depleted on exam, he has no edema or crackles on
exam. His cardiac exam is consistent with a decreased S2,
suggestive of critical AS. Repeat TTE showed progression of his
aortic stenosis, to severe. As a result, he is likely to be
very sensitive to low blood pressures.
# Hematuria and CBI: Patient presented from rehab with a 3-way
Foley and CBI. His rehab states that he has been on this for at
least a year and plan to continue it indefinitely. He had not
been seen by urology at ___ for ___ years. Has had negative
cystoscopy and CT urogram with no clear cause for his hematuria.
We stopped the CBI, with no hematuria, and changed his foley to
a regular foley prior to discharge. CBI SHOULD NOT BE
RESTARTED. If he develops hematuria after a foley catheter
change, this should be monitored for evidence of obstruction.
If he continues to have hematuria or obstruction, CBI can be
started for ___ hours as needed until his urine clears again,
at which point it should be stopped. He should follow up with
urology as needed if this persists.
# Goals of care: Upon admission, the ___ team spoke with the
patient's brother, ___, who states that he is the
health care proxy and makes decisions for the patient. He
stated that the patient has expressed that he would like
everything done for him, including resuscitation, intubation,
pressors and invasive procedures. This should be re-addressed
with the brother again given severe aortic stenosis, and his
degree of cognitive dysfunction. |

INTERPRETATION: This ___ year old NIDDM woman with a PMH of NSTEM
and
PCI to the LAD in ___ was referred to the lab for evaluation of
chest
discomfort. The patient was infused qith 0.142 mg/kg/min of
dipyridamole over 4 minutes. At peak infusion, the patient was
aware of
a ___ chest discomfort that was associated with 0.5-1 mm of ST
segment
scooping. Both the symptoms and ST segment changes resolved with
the
reversal of dipyridamole with 125 mg of aminophylline IV by

# Unstable angina/CAD: Ms. ___ is an ___ year old female with a
history of CAD s/p DES (___), DM, and HTN presenting with
worsening chest pain on exertion with exercise intolerance, and
one day of severe chest pain. At home on aspirin, ___,
atovastatin, and metoprolol. She presented to the ED and was
found to have initial normal ECG with trops<0.01 x 2. She went
for pharmacologic nuclear stress test on ___, which showed a
reversible, medium-sized, mild perfusion defect involving the
LAD territory. The pt also reported ___ chest pain and was
noted to have 0.5-1 mm of ST segment scooping on ECG. She was
admitted for cardiac catheterization planned for ___ and
placed on heparin gtt. As pt felt well on ___, she declined
the cardiac catheterization as she felt that it took her a long
time to recover from her cath in ___. Discussed at length that
the patient is probably putting herself at increased short term
risk of an MI or urgent revasc without an invasive strategy (the
risk is actual much less clear in women with negative biomarkers
where the benefit of an early invasive strategy is blunted in
clinical trials. Her burden of ischemia on the nuclear perfusion
study is mild to moderate and if in the moderate category revasc
may be more beneficial). She understood this risk and is
requesting to go home. To help with her anginal symptoms, her
metoprolol was increased to 100mg po daily, and she was started
on imdur 30mg po daily and given sublingual nitroglycerin for
home as needed. She was instructed that if she develops chest
pain, she should go to the Emergency Department immediately.
CHRONIC ISSUES
# Hyperlipidemia: Continued on home atorvastatin.
# Diabetes mellitus: At home on glipizide. During
hospitalization started on insulin sliding scale and glipizide
was held. This was restarted on discharge.
# Hypertension: At home on metoprolol succinate 75mg po daily.
This was increased to metoprolol succinate 100mg po daily as
above. Imdur 30mg po daily was also started.
***TRANSITIONAL ISSUES***

Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Complicated history of enterocutaneous fistula and
fevers.
AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to ___.
The left PICC line tip is at the level of low SVC. Heart size and mediastinum
are stable. Lungs are clear. Linear atelectasis in the right mid and lower
lung is unchanged. No new consolidations demonstrated.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: History of diverticulitis with multiple abdominal surgeries, and
intra-abdominal fluid collections and enterocutaneous fistulas, please
aspirate fluid collection and send for Gram stain and culture.
COMPARISON: Abdominal CT of ___.
PROCEDURE: The risks and benefits of the procedure were explained to the
patient, and written informed consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout
was performed verifying three patient identifiers and the nature of the
procedure to be performed. Initial sonographic imaging again demonstrated a
small collection just deep to the anterior abdominal wall and inferior to the
umbilicus measuring 1.6 x 0.4 x 1.3 cm. A couple of hypoechoic tracks were
observed extending from the margins of this collection to the cutaneous
surface (image 5; images 7 through 9). Aspiration of this collection was
requested by the surgical team.
The skin of the anterior abdominal wall was prepped and draped in standard
sterile fashion. Local anesthesia was achieved via subcutaneous injection of
2 cc of 1% lidocaine. Under direct ultrasound guidance, a 16-gauge spinal
needle was advanced into one of the tracks extending from the cutaneous
surface to the small intra-abdominal collection. Initial aspiration within
the track itself failed to yield any aspirate. The needle was carefully
threaded along the track into the collection, where the collection was
evacuated to completion yielding 1 cc of greenish-yellow pus. The needle was
removed. The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no complications
evident at the time of the procedure. The attending radiologist, Dr. ___,
___ the procedure. The sample was sent to microbiology for analysis as
requested by the clinical team.
Additional scanning had been performed prior to the procedure in the region of
patient's discomfort in the left mid abdomen, where scarring was seen at the
site of prior ostomy reversal, but there was no evidence of drainable fluid
collection.
IMPRESSION: Technically successful ultrasound-guided aspiration of an
anterior abdominal fluid collection yielding 1 cc of greenish pus. The sample
was sent to microbiology for analysis as requested.

level of acuity: 3.0 | Mr ___ was admitted to our institution given worsening
abdominal pain and reported abdominal discharge from known
phlegmonous collection in left lower quadrant. The fact that
intraabdominal collections had not decreased in size, as well as
the persistence of symptoms while on antibiotics was concerning.
The interventional radiology team was consulted for possible
aspiration of a small umbilical abscess/phlegmon additionally
noted on imaging studies. Awaiting this procedure, patient was
continued on meropenem and administered total parenteral
nutrition as he had been receiving prior to admission.
An ultrasound-guided aspiration of the anterior abdominal fluid
collection was successfully done on hospitalization day #1. This
yielded roughly 1 cc of greenish purulent material, sent to
microbiology for analysis. Infectious Diseases was consulted for
assistance in determining appropriate antibiotic regimen and
duration in this patient. Differential for persistent
collections included development of drug resistant organisms vs
ongoing source of infection due to anatomical defects that would
require surgical management. Given lack of response to meropenem
therapy, decision was thus made to discontinue antibiotics and
continue nutritional optimization for a planned surgical
procedure in the coming months to attempt control of the source
of infection.
Upon improvement of symptoms, patient was deemed suitable to be
discharged to home. Visiting nurse arrangements were made for
daily TPN administration, and an appointment was made to
follow-up as an outpatient. At the time of discharge Mr ___
was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. He was
tolerating a regular diet, ambulating, voiding without
assistance, and pain was well controlled. The patient received
discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding
verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan. |

PATIENT SUMMARY:
====================
Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with history of DMII,
HTN, hypothyroidism, bipolar/depression, recurrent syncope
thought to be vasovagal, hx of sick sinus syndrome s/p pacemaker
___ years ago(taken out because of clots forming on the leads),
L4-S1 laminectomy and recent MSSA bacteremia presenting with
acute on chronic back pain and subjective saddle
anesthesia/urinary incontinence, found to have normal neuro exam
with MRI of her lumbar spine showing a benign paraspinal muscle
seroma from her surgery.
====================
ACUTE ISSUES:
====================
# Acute on chronic lower back pain:
Patient came in complaining of worsening lower back pain, saddle
anesthesia, and difficulty holding her urine. She had been
admitted and worked up extensively during prior admissions. She
has previously had surgery to remove her spinal hardware. During
her last admission, she had an aspiration of paraspinal fluid
collection that showed a benign seroma. In this hospital
admission, MRI lumbar spine showed the seroma is still present
but is smaller. There was no concern for infection during her
admission given the quality of her seroma, lack of fever, normal
white blood cell count. Dr. ___ ortho spine doctor saw
her and had low concern for infection or cauda equina syndrome
given she had full strength and no focal deficits on neuro exam.
Her pain was controlled with her home gabapentin,
cyclobenzaprine, standing Tylenol, and oxycodone as needed.
Although she received morphine and IV dilaudid in the beginning
of her admission, she was taken off of IV pain medications.
Chronic pain also saw her and recommended close follow-up with
her PCP and with the chronic pain clinic. ___ was also consulted.
# Syncopal Episodes
Patient has had multiple episodes of syncope in past weeks in
setting of severe pain. At beginning of hospital admission,
patient was in MRI scanner, and a CODE BLUE was called. Patient
had a vasovagal syncopal episode ___ pain. Pt has long history
of syncopal episodes, etiology attributed to vasovagal
physiology. During prior hospitalization episodes, vitals were
normal and no
events seen on tele, and patient was responsive right after the
event. She did have one staring episode which occurred during
this hospitalization, complained of "feeling off." During this
time, her neuro exam was unchanged other than at first patient
stated she was "in the supermarket." but then quickly corrected
herself, and she returned to her baseline shortly thereafter.
During this admission, she was also continued on tele and no
events were seen, and no syncopal events occurred.
# Reported head strike
In the setting of her syncopal episodes prior to admission, she
reported head strike. She mentated well and had intact CN ___
during admission. CT head w/o contrast ___ showed no evidence
of bleed.
# Diarrhea
Patient reported fevers and loose BMs at home. Stool studies,
O&P, C diff studies were ordered but were unable to be obtained
as she stopped having loose stools during this hospitalization.

Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
seizures
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
The pt is a ___ year-old R-handed man with a PMHx of seizure-like
events (unclear from his prior workup if they are primarily
epileptic or non-epileptic) who presents with 4 seizure-like
events. The patient's mother reported much of the history as
the patient didn't recall the events. At around 4am today she
came into his room because he was "clearing his throat
repeatedly, like he was choking". This noise lasted around 3
seconds, and during it his eyes were partly open, then his eyes
opened completely and he looked at his mom, then fell asleep and
didn't wake back up when his mom shook his shoulder. She also
noticed that he had deep breathing "almost like snoring" for the
next ___ mins. She then tried to tap him lightly on the shoulder
again and he opened his eyes, screamed loudly and then his arms
and legs began to shake, he urinated on himself, bit his tongue
"there was blood all over the pillow" and then suddenly stopped
the shaking after ___ seconds and fell asleep. The patient's
mother did not try to wake him after this episode.
Then at 7:30am he sat up in bed suddenly and looked at his
mother. When she said "are you okay?" he didn't answer. He
fell asleep shortly after that. Then at around 8:30am she went
to check on him by tapping on his shoulder and asking "are you
okay?" and he responded "completely normally" so she was
reassured that he was back to his baseline and she let him sleep
again. He slept until 1:30pm, which is unusual for him unless
he has had a seizure, so his mother went to wake him up and tell
him that they were going to the ED so he could get checked out.
He seemed at his baseline when she saw him at 1:30pm. However,
when she came to get him at 2pm expecting to see him dressed and
ready to go, he was still in bed undressed. She then noticed
that he was sitting, leaning forwards and his arms and legs were
trembling and his eyes were wide open. This lasted for ___
seconds and then stopped. She went to dress him and he "hardly
noticed" which is unusual for him as he usually does it himself.
She brought him to the ED and by the time they arrived he was
"back to normal". However, the patient's mother did think that
when she touched him at around 2:30pm he "felt warm, but not
burning up". The ED initially tried to contact the patient's
outpatient neurologist, who was being covered by another
neurologist who recommended an infectious workup. The patient's
WBC returned elevated at 12.9 with a neutrophilic predominance.
His CXR initially returned with a ? of possible pneumonia, but
on repeat CXR this was felt to be atelectasis. However, given
his elevated WBC and no other identified infectious source, he
was admitted to the neurology service for observation given that
the WBC elevation was more likely to be from a seizure.
Of note, the patient's mother reports that his usual seizure
frequency is ___ seizures every ___ months and that today's was
unusual both because of the number of events and because his
last seizure episode was on ___ of this year (where he
sat up quickly in bed and looked at her, then went back to
sleep). Per Dr. ___ and the patient's mother he has
had numerous types of seizure-like events ranging from sitting
up quickly in bed, looking around and going back to sleep to
generalized convulsions with tongue biting and urinary
incontinence. There are many other events that she describes
where he has trembling of both arms, or stiffening of his arms
and legs and sometimes "he just looks out of it". She denies
that the patient could have missed any of his meds, as
unbeknownst to him she counts his pills every day to make she he
is taking them. She also doesn't think he has had any cold
symptoms, fevers or chills (except maybe at 2:30pm today as
above), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache or any other
infectious symptoms recently.
On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred
vision, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness,
vertigo, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties
producing or comprehending speech. Denies focal weakness,
numbness, parasthesiae. No bowel or bladder incontinence or
retention. Denies difficulty with gait.
On general review of systems, the pt denies recent fever or
chills. No night sweats or recent weight loss or gain. Denies
cough, shortness of breath. Denies chest pain or tightness,
palpitations. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation
or abdominal pain. No recent change in bowel or bladder habits.
No dysuria. Denies arthralgias or myalgias. Denies rash.

Studies:
Chest xray
Lung volumes remain low, but slightly improved compared to the
prior exam. The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours are
unchanged, with the heart size remaining top normal. Pulmonary
vascularity is normal. Minimal bibasilar atelectasis is noted,
without focal consolidation. No pleural effusion or
pneumothorax is seen. No acute osseous abnormalities are
demonstrated.
IMPRESSION:
Slightly improved aeration of the lung bases with mild bibasilar
atelectasis.
EEG
This is an abnormal video EEG monitoring session because of
intermittent bursts of diffuse theta slowing and frontally
predominant delta slowing indicative of subcortical or midline
dysfunction. Rare left temporal sharp or spike wave discharges
are seen indicative of potentially epileptogenic cortex. There
are no seizures recorded.

HISTORY: Recurrent seizure.
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral views of the chest.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
Lung volumes are low. The heart size is top normal. Mediastinal and hilar
contours are unremarkable, and no pulmonary vascular congestion is present.
Low lung volumes limits the assessment of the lung bases, with streaky
bibasilar airspace opacities potentially reflecting atelectasis, but infection
cannot be excluded, particularly in the right lung base. No pleural effusion
or pneumothorax is seen. No acute osseous abnormalities identified.
IMPRESSION:
Low lung volumes limit assessment of the lung bases. Streaky opacities in the
lung bases could reflect atelectasis but infection, particularly of the right
lung base, cannot be excluded. Consider repeat radiographs with improved
inspiratory effort for better assessment of the lung bases.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Seizure and possible pneumonia on chest radiograph.
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral views of the chest.

coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity
projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 520 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None
FINDINGS:
HEART AND VASCULATURE: Pulmonary vasculature is well opacified to the
subsegmental level without filling defect to indicate a pulmonary embolus. The
thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of dissection or
intramural hematoma. There is moderate four-chamber cardiac enlargement.
There is mitral annular calcification. Mild calcification of the coronary
arteries most pronounced in the LAD. No pericardial effusion. Main pulmonary
artery measures up to 3.6 cm which may reflect pulmonary artery hypertension.
Thoracic aorta is tortuous, but normal in caliber containing mild-to-moderate
atherosclerotic calcification.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy is present. No mediastinal mass.
PLEURAL SPACES: Moderate bilateral pleural effusions.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Significant compressive atelectasis is noted in the bilateral
lower lobes. Atelectasis in the right middle lobe is also present with subtle
adjacent ground-glass opacity which could reflect a component of pulmonary
edema. No worrisome nodule or mass. No convincing evidence for pneumonia.
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.
ABDOMEN: Included portion of the upper abdomen is unremarkable.
BONES: The patient is status post median sternotomy with sternal wires intact.
No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? There is no acute fracture.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism or acute aortic abnormality.
2. Moderate bilateral pleural effusions with adjacent compressive atelectasis.
Moderate cardiomegaly, probable mild pulmonary edema.
3. Enlarged main pulmonary artery measuring 3.6 cm may reflect pulmonary
arterial hypertension.

History of Present Illness:
This is a ___ woman with PMH of insulin dependent
diabetes, hypertension, CKD, and CHF presenting with multiple
complaints including uncontrolled blood sugars, dysuria,
vaginitis, chest pain, and failure to thrive.
Patient states that she was seen on ___ at ___ for
routine follow up where she was found to have serum glucose 798.
She was subsequently evaluated in the ED at ___ and discharged
home.
Since that time, the patient states that she has felt generally
unwell. She reports numerous complaints but emphasizes 3 major
issues: 1) Uncontrolled blood sugars. She notes blood sugars as
low as 81 and as high as 500. She has been taking her insulin
and Januvia as prescribed though is unable to recall the dosage.
2) Chest pain. She reports intermittent chest pain which she
describes as a pain in the middle of her chest that "is just
there." She is unable to further characterize the pain but
denies the pain radiating anywhere. The pain is associated with
both exertion and rest and usually subsides within minutes. 3)
Vaginitis/dysuria. Patient has had long-standing issues with
vaginal itching, previously alleviated with various creams. She
notes a "burning" sensation while urinating which also has been
going on for some time though she is unable to specify further
how long precisely.
In addition to the above, the patient states that she has felt
particularly fatigued recently, sleeping "all day and night"
yesterday. She has also had episodes of nausea, including the
sensation that she needs to vomit, but is ultimately unable to
do so. The nausea is NOT associated with her chest pain. The
patient also complains of a "stiff neck." Lastly, she notes
feeling "off balance" when rising from a seated position. She
notes feeling as though her knees are going to give out from
underneath her.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
INDICATION: History of AML with recent relapse, on chemotherapy currently,
now with dizziness and fall, here to evaluate for underlying infection.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph dated ___. Non-contrast CT of the
chest dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Upright AP and lateral radiographs of the chest.
FINDINGS: The inspiratory lung volumes are appropriate. The lungs are clear
without focal consolidation concerning for pneumonia, pleural effusion or
pneumothorax. Previously seen right middle lobe opacity on CT is not well seen
on the current exam. The pulmonary vasculature is not engorged, and there is
no overt pulmonary edema. The cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are within
normal limits. Trace of calcification of the aortic knob is re-demonstrated.
No acute osseous abnormality is detected.
IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: History of AML, now status post fall with pain and bruising of
the right hand.
COMPARISON: No prior studies available.
TECHNIQUE: AP, oblique and lateral radiographs of the right hand.
FINDINGS: No fracture or dislocation is detected. The bony alignment and
mineralization is normal. The carpal rows are maintained. Mild degenerative
spurring is noted at the first CMC joint.
IMPRESSION: No fracture or dislocation.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: AML complicated by pancytopenia, status post fall this a.m.;
evaluate for acute process.
COMPARISON: NECT, ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain. No
contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed.
Bone algorithm was obtained.
FINDINGS: No evidence of acute hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass effect, or acute
vascular territorial infarction. There are minimal periventricular white
matter hypodensities adjacent to the frontal horn of the right lateral
ventricle, which may represent sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease. Hypodense focus in the left frontal lobe may represent a
___ space.
Mild mucosal thickening is seen in the maxillary sinuses bilaterally;
otherwise, the visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well
aerated. No fracture is identified.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormality.
NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: The hypodense focus in the right frontal lobe
(2:13) likely represents partial-volume averaging of the adjacent sylvian
fissure, as on the MR study of ___. There is bifrontal cortical and
cerebellar atrophy, somewhat more than expected in a patient of this age;
however, this appearance, too, is unchanged.

S/p allo transplant in ___ who now has graft failure and
recurrent disease. Started recently on decitabine (cycle 1, day
1 = ___. Pt has circulating blasts, indicative of continued
disease. Had BM biopsy ___ to help guide next therapeutic step.
If BM biopsy shows continued disease progression, will consider
cytotoxic chemotherapy. If BM biopsy shows good response to
decitabine, will likely continue decitabine. Continued on
prophylaxis with acyclovir, Bactrim, moxifloxacin, voriconazole,
and ursodiol.
# Anemia, thrombocytopenia:
Likely due to AML and its treatment. GI bleed less likely;
guaiac negative stool ___. Pt received pRBC and platelet
transfusions during admission. Developed hives with platelet
transfusion, which resolved with Benadryl.
# H/o HTN: Pt was on amlodipine 5mg daily previously, while on
cyclosporine which can increase BP. Was normotensive during
admission off amlodipine; planned to remain off amlodipine at

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ year old ___ speaking woman with
HTN, HLD, hypothyroidism, anxiety, BPPV on meclizine, and
admission to the stroke service ___ for lightheadedness with
transient R sided weakness that was thought to be complex
migraine or anxiety provoked, who presents with over 2 months of
dizziness.
The patient shares that when she went to ___ ___ months
ago, she noted she had recurrent vertigo and some blurry vision
in her right eye. She is unsure if she needs new glasses.
Patient describes the sensation of spinning, but also says she
sometimes feels like things are going dark and she is going to
pass out. She was taking meclizine for her symptoms, but said
this no longer works. Patient has had no diplopia, dysphagia,
problems moving any limbs or with speech. On review of her
medication, it was realized that she has been taking double the
dose of her prescribed hydrochlorothiazide per day, because she
thought one bottle was her synthroid.
The patient presented to the ED because of persistent
lightheadness vs vertigo (unclear to tease out which is her more
concerning symptom). VSS and labs were stable upon presentation
and she was not orthostatic. She had a CTA head/neck that was
unremarkable for cause. She was evaluated by neurology, who said
"given the history and examination findings, very low index of
suspicion for a vascular event including posterior circulation.
Most suspicious for migraine headache with possibly worsening
lightheadedness/dizziness secondary to meclizine." She was then
evaluated by ___, who recommended patient go to rehab given
deconditioning and fall risk.
Upon arrival to the floor, she otherwise feels well, and has
been eating and drinking well. She is normally very independent,
and is distressed about having to go to rehab.

transient R sided weakness that was thought to be complex
migraine or anxiety provoked, who presented with over 2 months
of lightheadness and vertigo. She was admitted to the hospital
because physical therapy recommended patient be discharged to
rehab for functional conditioning, and she needed placement.
#Lightheadness: patient presented with two separate symptoms of
lightheadedness and vertigo. Patient was not orthostatic in the
ED, and does not endorse symptoms of orthostasis. No reported
carotid stenosis on prelim CTA head/neck read. Patient revealed
she was taking 2x the amount of prescribed hydrochlorothiazide
because she thought one was her synthroid. Therefore, her
symptoms may be a result of too many antihypertensives. Her
symptoms may also be a side effect of meclizine. Neurology was
consulted, and recommended discontinuing meclizine. ___ was
consulted, and recommended patient go to rehab for strengthening
and functional conditioning. Patient and her family refused
rehab, despite being told this was what was recommended by our
___ team.
#Vertigo: patient endorsed vertigo as well, and this seemed to
be a separate symptom, however it was hard to tease out with her
history giving. CTA head/neck with no acute pathology to explain
this symptom, and likely secondary to known diagnosis of BPPV.
As above, neurology was consulted, and meclizine was
discontinued for concern it was causing lightheadness.
#Blurry vision: patient reports worsening blurry vision over the
past few months in her right eye. She is not having blacking out
of vision in this eye, just blurriness. She has no jaw pain or
claudication, and describes global tension like headache.
Concern for temporal arteritis low, but ordered ESR and this
should be followed up as an outpatient. She should have
ophthalmology as an outpatient.

PROCEDURE: 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 right/left, upper chest/groin was prepped
and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent internal jugular vein on the
right 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 tunnel over the upper
anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia
using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a small skin incision was made at the
tunnel entry site. A 23cm tip-to-cuff length catheter was selected. The
catheter was tunneled from the entry site towards the venotomy site from where
it was brought out using a tunneling device. 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 catheter was
threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium.

level of acuity: 1.0 | This is a ___ who overdosed on heroin, cocaine, EtOH, was found
down, and transferred from ___ to ___ for acute liver
injury, cocaine intoxication, and hypotension, and admitted to
the ICU for hemodynamic instability, on pressors. He was
intubated in the ED for hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary
to likely aspiration from emesis, and started on broad spectrum
antibiotics for concern for pneumonia. He was found to have
shock, acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, cardiac
ischemia/troponinemia, acute liver failure, and LLE weakness and
sensory deficit. In the MICU, shock resolved, pressors weaned,
and CNS depression resolved. Antibiotics discontinued as no
clinical evidence of pneumonia. Transferred to floor, where he
continued to have volume overload in the setting of oliguria and
acute renal failure. Rhabdomyolysis resolved, with CK<5000, as
did acute liver failure. Initiated hemodialysis on ___ because
still with persistent oliguria and worsening acidemia. Required
9 days of dialysis, but urine output recovered and his dialysis
line was removed on ___, with discharge on ___.
# SHOCK: Patient was initially hypotensive to the ___ on arrival
with elevated lactate. Patient had ___ SIRS criteria placing
septic shock on differential. His H/H was stable but mucous
membranes dry so hypovolemic shock was thought to be
contributing. He was started on broad spectrum antibiotics
(vanc/zosyn), which were discontinued as no infectious source
was identified. His hypotension resolved with aggressive fluid
resuscitation (up +15L in MICU course).
# RESPIRATORY FAILURE: Patient intubated on ___ for airway
protection after oxygen desaturation following an episode of
emesis. Patient was on CMV, FiO2 100%, Tv 500 and PEEP of 5.
Fentanyl/versed used for sedation. Patient was extubated the
morning of ___. He had been empirically started on broad PNA
coverage, but antibiotics were discontinued ___ because he had
no clinical evidence of infection. Likely he had aspiration
pneumonitis given the rapid resolution of hypoxemia. His
persistent oxygen requirement on the general medicine floor was
likely secondary to volume overload in setting of acute renal
failure, and it resolved with hemodialysis.
# ACUTE RENAL FAILURE: Likely secondary to acute tubular
necrosis given urine sediment showing muddy brown casts. He
presented to OSH with hypotension, which is the likely etiology
of the ATN, though likely exacerbated by rhabdomyolysis. His
poor urine output indicated that he was not clearing casts from
his kidneys, and the persistently high CK likely made his ___
worse. Creatinine continued to rise with worsening acidosis,
requiring hemodialysis ___. His urine output recovered with
normalization of his electrolytes and downward trend of
creatinine. HD line removed ___.
# HYPERTENSION: Likely secondary to volume overload in the
setting of persistent renal failure. Asymptomatic. Trending down
with dialysis and subsequent autodiuresis. Did not treat with
anti-hypertensives.
# ACUTE LIVER INJURY: Most likely shock liver in setting of
hypotension with componenent of cocaine toxicity and
vasoconstriction. LFTs trended down to normal range. He
completed a full course of NAC per liver, toxicology recs. His
hepatits serologies, HIV, ___, AMA, Sm were all negative.
# LEFT LOWER EXTREMITY WEAKNESS: Initially with L2 sensory
deficit and left hamstring weakness, but recovered full strength
and sensation. Likely lumbar plexopathy, secondary to
compressive neuropathy.
# THROMBOCYTOPENIA: Likely in setting of acute liver failure,
alcohol intoxication, and profound illness. Platelet count rose
to normal range.
# POLYSUBSTANCE ABUSE: Patient overdosed with intranasal cocaine
and heroin, as well as alcohol ingestion. His overdose resulted
in multiorgan failure and significant medical issues. Seen by
social work. Discussed extensively with patient. Has good family
support, motivation to return to caring for his daughter and to
go back to work. His drug use prior to this catastrophic event
was intermittent. |

level of acuity: 3.0 | Patient is an ___ with PMHx of HTN, hematochezia, history of
cardiomyopathy with recovered EF, CKD, Bipolar D/O, and PTSD
with recent discharge from ___ ___ who presents after a
fall with confusion.
# Encephalopathy: Resolved by the following morning. Medication
effect seems most likely given resolution without intervention.
Unclear how much seroquel patient is taking at home as patient
is a vague historian. Imaging ruled out intracranial process. No
signs of infection. Electrolytes normalized without intervention
though creatinine was initially above baseline. In conjunction
with her outpatient providers, we further decreased her seroquel
dosing to 12.5mg daily and continued palmate. We also
transitioned to blister-packing of her meds to reduce
inappropriate medication administration.
# s/p Fall: Orthostatics were positive and creatinine was
slightly elevated on presentation supporting an element of
hypovolemia. Patient is on BP meds and MAOI which can lead to
postural hypotension. Head CT and cervical spine CT showed no
acute injury as a result of the fall. Beta-blocker was dc'ed and
amlodipine was halved. She was given compression stockings and
given other advice about how to decrease the incidence of
orthostasis.
# CKD: Baseline 1.8. Patient slightly above baseline on
admission though trended down by discharge.
# Tachy/brady: Resolved. Tachycardia and bradycardia documented
on arrival never recurred. Patient had frequent PACs and
sometimes an ectopic atrial rhythm but rates remained normal and
she was asymptomatic. Beta-blocker was dc'ed as above.
# Hypertension: Well-controlled on reduced regimen of 2.5mg
amlodipine. Could likely dc this medication all together to
minimize orthostasis
# Bipolar disease and PTSD: Continued palmate. She will
follow-up with her outpatient psychiatrist
# Code: Full
# Emergency Contact: Guardian ___ (sister in law)
___
___ ISSUES
-Her amlodipine can likely be discontinued as an outpatient if
her BPs remain well-controlled

#. Polymyositis: Pt currently unable to ambulate ___ weakness.
Pt states she typically gets rituximab infusions q6-8 weeks for
her polymyositis, and it has been 8 weeks since her last
infusion. Pt's case was discussed with rheumatology team. Given
her CKs were in the 700s (rather than the 10,000s like previous
flares), no changes were made to the patient's medications. Her
outpt rheumatologist is continuing to work on getting rituximab
approval. Pt states her pain typically responds well to
ibuprofen, so this was used PRN pain. Her home dose of steroids
and mycophenolate were continued, as was Bactrim for PCP ___.
Given inability to walk, pt will be discharge to rehab for
physical therapy as she is unsafe at home. She will need close
rheum follow up and rituximab infusion when approved (will be
arranged by rheum team).

chemo/radiation), severe AS (mean gradient 40 in ___, refusing
intervention), mitral valve stenosis, and anemia (Hgb 9.3 in
___, who was transferred to ___ from Urgent Care for chest
pain, concerning for STEMI.
Patient has had chest pain, shortness of breath, and dyspnea for
the past 2 months. Pain got worse 1 month ago, so patient
stopped smoking. For the past week, patient has had many "bad
days" with intermittent, substernal chest pain. Last night at
3am, pt woke up to a "terrific pain" in her chest, radiating to
jaw. Associated with shortness of breath. Took ASA 81mg. Pain
improved, and pt went back to sleep. This morning, pt woke up
and had intermitted chest pain, so presented to ___.
In Urgent Care office:
Pt continued to have chest pain.
VS: T 97.1 HR 88 BP 124/60 O2 99% on ra
Exam significant for: In acute distress, rrr with large blowing
murmur, lungs clear, no edema
EKG significant for V1 and V2 ST elevation, reciprocal changes
in the inferior leads, and new T wave inversions in III/aVF,
consistent with acute MI.
Patient was transferred to the ___ ED for further evaluation
and management of this chest pain with ST elevations. Aspirin
325mg and nitroglycerin were given en route, with some relief of
pain. Patient was placed on 2L nc and IV access was obtained.
In the ED, initial VS were: T 98 HR 82 BP 134/58 RR 16 O2 98%ra
Exam notable for normal cardiopulmonary exam.
Labs showed Hgb 6.6 and trop of 0.05.
EKG showed 1mm STE in V2 and V3 and 0.5-1mm depressions
inferiorly.
Imaging: CXR showed small bilateral pleural effusions. ECHO
showed LVEF>55%
Interventions: Code STEMI was called, patient taken to cath lab.
Upon arrival to cath lab, her chest pain and EKG changes
resolved. Cardiology did not think her presentation was
consistent with anterior STEMI, so they did not cath her. Also,
cath did not seem within goals of care. Decision was made to
admit to medicine for further management of anemia evaluation,
transfusion, and goals of care discussion.
On arrival to the floor, patient reports that her chest pain is
still present, ___. It gets worse when she moves around or
speaks. Pain is substernal, she describes as an "elephant" on
her chest. Associated with shortness of breath. Has fatigue for
the past few weeks. No hemoptysis, melena, or BRBPR.

level of pain: 3
level of acuity: 1.0 | SUMMARY: Ms ___ is a ___ woman with stage 4 lung cancer,
severe AS, and chronic anemia, who was admitted for chest pain.
Initially, her chest pain and mild ST elevations were concerning
for STEMI, so she was taken to the cath lab. However, her pain
and ECG changes resolved upon arrival to the cath lab, so she
was admitted to the Medical Wards for further management of her
anemia (Hgb 6.5 on admission) and for goals of care discussion.
She was transfused 1 unit pRBC, with appropriate rise in her Hb,
with improvement in her weakness and dyspnea on exertion. She
was evaluated by cardiology, who felt that her symptoms were not
concerning for ACS. Given her Stage 4 lung cancer, she is not
surgical candidate for aortic valve repair. Team had an
extensive goals of care conversation on ___ with patient and
her son ___ was made Health Care Proxy & patient
completed a MOLST form, and was made DNR/DNI. She will go home
with home hospice.
# CHEST PAIN:
Initially, ST elevations in V1-V4 were concerning for STEMI, so
patient was taken to the cath lab upon arrival to ED. However,
her chest pain and ischemic changes on ECG completely resolved,
so she was admitted to the medical service. Repeat ECG on floor
showed 2mm ST elevated in V2 and 1mm ST elevation in V1. Pt
received ASA 325 mg prior to admission and 81 mg PO x 1 upon
arrival to the floor. She had originally been evaluated for
possible cardiac catherization, however, per the cardiology
fellow Dr. ___ declined all intervention. This decline of
intervention seems consistent with prior desires as indicated in
Atrius notes. Documentation of consent for cardiac cath was
signed by the patient, and the patient endorsed that she "wanted
everything done". Given resolution of her symptoms, she was
admitted to medicine for further management. Given her
downtrending troponins and normal ECHO, chest pain was thought
to be demand ischemia, not ACS. She was monitored on telemetry
and given ASA 81mg daily. Held beta blocker and heparin given
severe anemia. Cardiology consulted, appreciate their recs. Per
cardiology, patient is not a candidate for valve replacement.
# ANEMIA:
Patient has chronic anemia, with most recent Hgb 9.3 in ___.
On admission, Hgb was 6.6. Patient denied signs and symptoms of
bleeding. Per Atrius records, she has a history of a gastric
ulcer and endorsed GERD symptoms. Also has a history of AVM per
Atrius records. Given history of aortic stenosis, checked for
active hemolysis, but hemolysis labs were normal. Hemoglobin
remained stable after transfusion, and is 7.9 on discharge.
# STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER:
Patient has a 60-pack year smoking history, and known stage-4
lung carcinoma. The malignancy is non-operable, and the patient
does not want chemotherapy or radiation. She is not on active
treatment and does not require oxygen at home. Oxygen saturation
was monitored, and remained stable throughout hospitalization.
Goals of care were discussed, as below.
# AORTIC STENOSIS:
Patient has known AS prior to admission, with mean gradient 40
in ___. Per outside records, she had previously declined
intervention; confirmed with cardiology that she declined
intervention. Admission ECHO showed severe aortic valve stenosis
(valve area <1.0cm2). Cardiology evaluated, appreciate their
recs. Per cardiology, given the patient's stage 4 lung carcinoma
and multiple other comorbidities, she would not be a candidate
for valve replacement.
# GOALS OF CARE:
Prior to this admission, patient had multiple discussions with
PCP (latest ___ to discuss goals of care with her metastatic
lung adenocarcinoma. Per Atrius notes, " Adenocarcinoma, lung,
unspecified laterality: Inoperable and she refused
chemotherapy...She refused discussion regarding palliative care
or hospice care and insisted on being full code... Today, I
discussed with ___ the futility of intubation and mechanical
ventilation in someone with inoperable lung cancer and critical
valvular heart disease, yet she elected to be full code".
Patient still has capacity. Team met with patient, her family,
social work, and palliative care; she made her son ___ the HCP
on ___. Had a very productive goals of care meeting on ___,
and patient completed MOLST form; she is now DNR/DNI, and would
not like to be hospitalized unless it is for comfort. She is
very clear on what her wishes are. She would like to enjoy the
time she has left, and would like to spend this time at home,
not in a hospital.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
- ANEMIA: Patient has known gastric ulcer, and baseline Hgb
___, requiring 1 u pRBC, with appropriate rise in H/H. H/H
subsequently stable and was 7.9 upon discharge. Can consider
occasional monitoring with pallative transfusions as needed.
- HOSPICE CARE: Patient would like to be comfortable and avoid
future hospitalizations. She completed MOLST form and would like
Home Hospice services.
- GOALS OF CARE: Patient is DNR/DNI. |

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ with metastatic RCC to the bone, lung,
adrenal glands, liver, and brain which has progressed through
multiple chemotherapy regimens who presented to the ED with
lethargy. He was hospitalized from ___ with fevers
and shortness of breath. It was felt that his dyspnea was
multifactorial from tumor burden, anemia, and mild congestive
heart failure and pleural effusions. He was initially treated
for PNA, but since his fevers were thought to be secondary to
malignancy, ABX were discontinued. He was treated with Lasix
for new diagnosis of diastolic heart failure and discharged home
on hospice given his poor preformance status and tumor
progression.
.
His family states that he became drowsy lethargic around 5 ___
the day prior to admission and felt hot. He was brought to ___.
___ where he was found to have a fever to ___, and
diagnosed with pneumonia on chest x-ray. He was transferred to
___ given that he is followed here by oncology. Prior to
transfer CT head was negative, and he was given vancomycin. In
the ER at ___, Vitals were 99.3 98 117/73 19 99% 2L NC; he
was given Ceftazidime 1g, 3.5 liters of fluid.

IMAGING / STUDIES:
# CHEST (PA & LAT) ___ at 4:05 AM):
Nodularity throughout both lungs more prominent on the right
lung likely represents disseminated carcinoma as documented by
the CT torso of ___. Opacification of the left lung base
may represent moderate left pleural effusion with compressive
atelectasis, however underlying infectious process or mass
cannot be completely excluded in the correct clinical setting.
In addition to the disseminated carcinoma there appears to be
mild volume overload or worsening neoplastic process within the
right lung. A left Port-A-Cath tip projects at the level of the
cavoatrial junction.
.
# CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST ___ at 4:14 AM):
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or
obvious mass effect. Please note that a non-contrast head CT is
not sensitive for the detection of intracranial masses. If there
is continued clinical concern and need for evaluation of
parenchymal masses noted on the prior MRI, then a repeat MRI of
the brain can be obtained with and without contrast, if not
contra-indicated. The right lateral ventricle is slightly more
concave - ?related to orientation - attention on f/u.

failed chemotherapy (with Sutent, Temsirolimus, and Bevacizumab)
who presents with altered mental status and fever after going
home ___ on hospice.
.
# Fever: Likely secondary to leptomeningeal disease and extent
of malignancy. Given concern for post-obstructive pneumonia
given CXR, we initially covered for HCAP. Lumbar puncture was
deferred given his prior antibiotic treatment in the ED and low
likelihood of meningitis given the rapid improvement in mental
status and lack of meningeal signs. Vancomycin and ceftriaxone
were initiated for a 7 day course. Urine cultures were no
growth, and blood cultures demonstrated no growth during his
stay, but final results were pending at the time of discharge.
He had no further episodes of fever during his stay. He was
discharged on Levofloxacin for oral coverage of possible
pneumonia since IV antibiotics were not available on hospice.
.
# Encephalopathy: Differential diagnosis on arrival included
cerebral edema vs leptomeningeal spread of disease vs sepsis vs
overuse of narcotics. Cerebral edema was not visualized on
imaging. Upon admission, narcotics were reduced from Oxycontin
40 mg TID to 30 mg BID. By day two of admission, his mental
status had greatly improved. It is likely that the reduction of
Oxycontin resulted in the improvement in mental status.
Antibiotic coverage with Levofloxacin was continued on discharge
since infection could not be completely ruled out. He was
discharged on the reduced dose of Oxycontin with Oxycodone for
breakthrough pain.
.
# Pain Control: He has had difficulty with pain control and
adjustment of his narcotics doses for adequate relief without
over narcotization. His Oxycontin likely contributed to his
altered mental status and lethargy on admission. He was
discharged on the reduced dose of Oxycontin 30 mg PO BID with
Oxycodone 10 mg PO Q4H for breakthrough pain. He was also
started on standing doses of Ibuprofen 400 mg PO Q6H and
Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO Q8H. The addition of these
non-narcotic pain medications appeared to have good effect with
a reduced need for narcotics. His pain was well controlled
without sedation or confusion during his stay, and he was
discharged on this new regimen. He will likely neec close
followup of his pain control regimen after discharge with care
to avoid over escalation of his narcotics doses.
.
# Metastatic RCC: He is status post failure of two regimens, and
per primary oncologist no further anti-neoplastic care is
indicated. He recently went home on hospice on ___.
Palliative care was consulted on admission for further teaching
about the role of hospice and reevaluation for hospice services.
He was discharged home with the same hospice service.
.
# Chronic diastolic CHF: He did not appear fluid overloaded on
exam. His outpatient dose of Furosemide 20 mg PO daily was
continued.
.
# Appetite / Nutrition: Patient was continued on Megestrol
Acetate 400 mg PO BID and Ensure supplements with meals.

This is a ___ year old gentleman with PMHx significant for ETOH
abuse (hx of DTs), and htn not currently receiving medical care
who presents with symptoms of fatigue, mild cough and acute
onset substernal chest pain.
.
Per ED report, he reports the onset of substernal chest pain was
acute and associated with dyspnea and was pleuritic in nature.
He reprots it occurred several times this morning while he was
coughing and self resolved. In this setting he reports a
progressive history of fatigue, maliase. He denies nausea,
diaphoresis, emesis, diarrhea of constipation. He has not
looked at his stool and cannot report BRB or melanotic stool. He
does have chronic diarrhea. This history was confirmed on the
ICU however history taking was limited secondary to somnolence.
.
The patient reports 2 gallons a day history of vodka per day.
Last drink was at 7PM last night. He reports a positive history
of DTs in the past and frequent admissions to ICU for detox.
.
In the ED inital vitals were, 97.3 ___ 24 100% RA.
Physical exam was significant for clear lung exam, mild
tenderness to the epigastrium. Labs demonstrated serum etoh 56,
hct 34, creatinine 0.9, potassium 3.2, lactate 2.3 and troponin
0.01. A d-dimer was 1410. A serum toxic was otherwise negative.
He was given 1mg Ativan po x2, 2mg ativan IV, potassium
choloride repletion and folic acid. A CT abdomen and pelvis was
obtained which demonstrated no acute intra-abdominal process and
2.8 cm hepatic lesion with recommendation for follow-up MRI. Of
note he had many attempts at peripheral access which failed. A
right IJ was placed under sterile conditions. Pulmonary embolism
was considered on the differential however unable to perform CTA
___ access issues.
.
On arrival to the ICU, initial vitals were: T 99, HR 96, BP
184/111 18 97% RA with systolic BPs in the low 200s on arrival.
he was chest pain free. He was given 10mg IV hydralazine with
initial improvement in his SBPs in the 170s. He was started on a
nitroglycerin gtt in the setting of reported chest pain, and
blood pressure control. He was somnolent on exam, easily aroused
but difficult to maintain mentation. A phone call to his wifes
listed number revealed she had no phone.

level of acuity: 2.0 | ___ year old female with heart block s/p pacemaker c/b
pneumothorax requiring multiple chest tubes, DM, CAD, CKD,
presenting with recurrent hemoptysis since ___ with previously
observed clots on bronchoscopy. Recent bronchoscopy also showed
evidence of large clots in the R mainstem and R middle bronchus
with several areas requiring cauterization.
#Hemoptysis: small volume. Chest film with no evidence of TB or
other cavitary lesion, but demonstrated R. middle lobe
opacification concerning for consolidation vs. atelectasis.
There was also concern that this current episode of hemoptysis
was precipitated by recent anticoagulation with coumadin that
was initiated for treatment of pulmonary emboli discovered
during the ___ bronchoscopy. Thus, her anticoagulation was
held. The patient underwent repeat bronchoscopy on ___ with
removal of clots and cauterization of several oozing areas of
friable tissue. Lavage was performed and biopsy sent to
pathology for further examination with results pending.
#Anticoagulation: Coumadin will be held (per pulmonary) for the
next four weeks until patient follows up with repeat CT Chest
and bronch to allow time for her injured pulmonary tissue to
heal. The tentative plan is to ultimately resume anticoagulation
and complete full treatment of her PE. She has IVC filter in
place.
#Iron deficiency anemia: Hg 9.2 on admission and stable at 8.8
on day of discharge. Patient did not have any symptoms of anemia
and was not transfused pRBCs. She was given a script to get her
CBC repeated within the next week and prescribed oral iron
supplements.
#Stage II Sacral Ulcer: no sign or cellulitis; wound kept clean
and dry. Patient rotated frequently to avoid continuous
pressure.
#Hypertensive urgency: Patient hypertensive to 204/99 in PACU
following bronchoscopy most likely secondary to not receiving
her home meds prior to procedure. Home meds given in addition to
20mg IV Labetalol and 5mg IV Metoprolol. Her blood pressure
responded appropriately with no other episodes of significant
elevations.
*TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:*
- Ms. ___ will ___ with her Interventional
Pulmonologist for repeat CT and repeat bronchoscopy 4 weeks
after discharge.
- Ms. ___ was previously anticoagulated with Warfarin to
treat PE. Per her Interventional Pulmonologist, this
anticoagulation should be held for the next 4 weeks until repeat
imaging and bronchoscopy have been completed at which point this
should be restarted if bleeding risk minimized.
- Please check a CBC at PCP ___ within ___ weeks of
discharge.
- Patient started on 325mg of iron at discharge.
- Ms. ___ has an IVC filter in place. This should be removed
once the patient has been safely restarted on anticoagulation.
- Ms. ___ has a stage 2 sacral ulcer. Please evaluate for
healing.
- Patient's BP consistently in the 160s systolic throughout
hospitalization; consider adjusting her outpatient regimen as

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR ___
INDICATION: Crohn's disease, p/w hgb 3.5, no source of bleed on EGD/c-scope,
? Obstruction near IC valve, eval for active colitis.
TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen and pelvis
were acquired within a 1.5 T magnet.
Intravenous contrast: 5 mL Gadavist.
Oral contrast: 900 mL of VoLumen.
34 g of Miralax was also administered orally.
1.0 mg of glucagon was administered IM to reduce bowel peristalsis.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
GI Tract
Small bowel distension: Satisfactory
Peristalsis: Reduced in an area of stricturing of the terminal ileum.
Abnormal bowel segment(s) yes
Number of individual/separated abnormal bowel segments: 1
There is focal stricture with mural thickening extending over 2.5 cm involving
the terminal ileum to the cecum including the entire IC valve with diffuse
transmural enhancement of irregular walls and diffuse intrinsic T2
hyperintensity. There is prestenotic dilatation measuring up to 6.9 cm with
fecalization within the distal small bowel. The remainder of the small bowel
does not demonstrate wall thickening or abnormal enhancement. There is no
evidence of fistulization or fluid collection. Adjacent enlarged ileal colic
lymph nodes are described below.
Abdomen:
Lower Thorax: The included lung bases are clear, without pleural effusion.
Liver: The liver is normal in contour and signal intensity. The portal vein
is patent.
Biliary: There is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation, with no
segmental strictures, dilatation, mural irregularities or distortion of the
biliary tree, or any other signs of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Patient is
status post cholecystectomy.
Pancreas: The pancreas is normal in signal intensity, without evidence of
ductal dilatation.
Spleen: The spleen is normal in size and signal intensity.
Adrenal Glands: Bilateral adrenal glands are unremarkable in appearance.
Kidneys: Bilateral kidneys demonstrate normal signal intensity. No evidence of
hydronephrosis or suspicious renal lesions. An 8 mm T2 hyperintense
nonenhancing simple cyst in the lower pole of the kidney is noted.
Lymph Nodes: There are enlarged lymph nodes in the ileocolic region, the
largest measuring 1 x 1.5 cm (___) with a cluster mesenteric nodes
extending proximally along the right colic vessels.
Vasculature:The visualized portion of the aorta and its major branch origins
are patent.
Pelvis
Uterus and adnexa: The uterus is normal in size and signal intensity. No
endometrial thickening. The right and left ovaries are unremarkable. No
adnexal masses are noted.
Cervix and vagina: The cervix and vagina are unremarkable.
Bladder:The urinary bladder is adequately distended. There is no stone or
mass. The bladder wall is not thickened.
There is trace pelvic fluid.
Vasculature:The visualized portion of the iliac arteries and veins are patent.
Osseous Structures: No bone marrow signal abnormalities detected.
IMPRESSION:
1. Diffusely enhancing irregular segment of strictured terminal ileum
extending to the cecum and replacing the ileocecal valve. While this may
reflect masslike chronic fibrostenotic changes related to Crohn's disease
(noting the recent biopsy results), underlying neoplasm cannot be excluded.
2. Multiple enlarged ileocolic mesenteric lymph nodes. While these may be
reactive in the setting of inflammation, given the possibility of neoplasm,
malignant lymphadenopathy is also a consideration.
3. Strictured terminal ileum causes at least partial obstruction with
prestenotic dilatation of the proximal ileum and fecalization of the distal
small bowel indicating stasis.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. If further biopsy of the terminal ileum or surgery is not performed, short
interval follow-up with MR enterography in 3 months is recommended.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr.
___ on the telephone on ___ at 11:40 AM, 5 minutes after
discovery of the findings.
Gender: F
Race: BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN

Chief complaint: Chest pain, Dyspnea, Palpitations
Diagnosed with ANEMIA NOS, PALPITATIONS
temperature: 98.4
heartrate: 111.0
resprate: 18.0
o2sat: 100.0
sbp: 118.0
dbp: 69.0
level of pain: 2
level of acuity: 2.0 | ___ year old female with PMH of Crohn's disease, who presented
with profound symptomatic anemia, most likely related to
subacute GI bleed in the setting of acute on chronic colitis.
# Iron deficiency anemia, likely subacute,
# Crohn's disease,
# Palpitations:
Patient initially presented with palpitations and was found to
have a hemoglobin of 3.5, down from a baseline of ___. She had
an elevated D-dimer, so a CTA was performed in the ED, which was
negative for PE or other abnormalities. She required 3 units of
PRBCs initially, and her hemoglobin remained stable for the
remainder of her hospitalization.
Patient was found to have profound iron-deficiency anemia,
likely from a subacute GI bleed related to her colitis. She
underwent EGD that only showed nonspecific scalloping of the
antral mucosa, with normal biopsies of the antrum and duodenum.
Patient then underwent colonoscopy that showed a polypoid,
edematous, erythematous and ulcerated lesion in what was thought
to be the cecum/appendiceal orifice. This was biopsied which
show active colitis. TB was considered given her history of
positive PPD and risk factors, but her recent quant gold was
negative.
She then underwent MRE that showed a diffusely enhancing
irregular segment of strictured terminal ileum extending to the
cecum and replacing the ileocecal valve. While this may reflect
masslike chronic fibrostenotic changes related to Crohn's
disease (noting the recent biopsy results), underlying neoplasm
cannot be excluded. It also showed a strictured ileum with
partial obstruction with prestenotic dilation of the small bowel
to 7cm.
The hospitalist and GI consulting team wanted patient to remain
in the hospital for further evaluation, but she insisted that
she be discharged and follow up in clinic with her
gastroenterologist (Dr. ___ at ___. Dr. ___ was
contacted to help arrange for urgent GI clinic follow-up and
colorectal surgery consultation.
At the time of discharge the patient had a stable hemoglobin and
was tolerating a regular diet. She was having formed bowel
movements without evidence of blood. She understood that she
should return to the hospital immediately if she were to
experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or GI bleeding. |
