Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report LEFT UPPER EXTREMITY AV GRAFT AND OUTFLOW TRACT THROMBECTOMY, VENOGRAPHY, ANGIOPLASTY AND VENOUS JUXTA-ANASTOMOSIS STENT PLACEMENT INDICATION: ___ man with clotted left upper extremity AV graft. OPERATORS: Drs. ___ (fellow) and ___ (attending physician). Dr. ___ was present throughout the procedure. CONTRAST: Sterile 90 mL Optiray 320. PROCEDURE: 1. Two accesses, one each in the arterial and venous limbs of the left upper extremity graft. 2. Pullback venogram in the venous outflow tract. 3. AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy extending from the venous outflow tract through the AV graft. 4. Arterial anastomosis embolectomy with over-the-wire ___ balloon. 5. AV graft, venous outflow tract and central venography. 6. Dilatation with a 7 x 20 mm balloon extending from the venous outflow tract through the AV graft. 7. Post-dilatation venography, and evaluation of arterial anastomosis. 8. Dilatation with 8 x 40 mm balloon at venous anastomosis and along 2 sites of the AV graft. 9. Post-dilatation venoraphy. 10. Placement of an 8 x 40 mm Fluency stent at the venous anastomosis of the graft followed by dilatation with 8 x 40 mm balloon. 11. Post-stent placement venography. Consent was obtained from the patient after explaining the benefits, risks, and alternatives. Patient was placed supine on the imaging table in the interventional suite. Timeout was performed as per ___ protocol. Initial grayscale and color sonogram of the left upper extremity did not demonstrate flow within the AV graft. Under aseptic conditions, sonographic guidance and after infiltrating the skin with 1% lidocaine, a micropuncture needle was placed in the arterial limb of the graft with its tip pointing towards the venous outflow tract. A 0.018 wire was carefully advanced into the graft. Needle was exchanged for a 4.5 ___ microsheath. After removing the inner cannula and wire, a 0.035 angled Glidewire was advanced through the microsheath and eventually into the venous outflow tract. After removing the microsheath, a 6 ___ short ___ sheath was placed. After removing the inner cannula, a 5 ___ Kumpe catheter was used over the wire to negotiate the wire centrally. Glidewire was then exchanged for a 0.035 ___ wire, with its tip left in the upper SVC. A similar procedure was utilized for placing a 6 ___ short sheath in the venous limb of the graft with its tip pointing towards the arterial anastomosis. A 0.035 Glidewire was advanced through the venous limb sheath and with the help of the 5 ___ Kumpe catheter, eventually advanced into the arterial inflow. Glidewire wire was then exchanged for a 0.035 ___ wire. Kumpe catheter was used to perform pullback venography to the point of thrombus in the venous outflow tract (brachial vein). A 6 ___ AngioJet catheter was used within the sheaths to perform mechanical thrombectomy extending from the venous outflow tract (from the level of left brachial vein) through the AV graft (to within 2 cm of the arterial anastomosis). A ___ embolectomy balloon was placed within the venous limb sheath and over the wire to perform arterial anastomotic embolectomy. Small amount of sterile contrast material was injected through the sidearm of the arterial limb sheath, following which DSA venography was performed in the AV graft, venous outflow tract and central veins. Dilatation was performed with a 7 x 20 mm balloon extending from the venous outflow tract through the entire AV graft. Post-balloon dilatation venography was performed. Further dilatation with 8 x 40 mm balloon was performed at the venous anastomosis and along 2 sites on the venous limb of the graft. Post-balloon dilatation venography was performed. Arterial anastomosis was evaluated by injected contrast with the balloon inflated in the graft. The arterial limb 6 ___ sheath was then exchanged for a 9 ___ sheath over the wire. Subsequently, an 8 x 40 mm Fluency covered metallic stent was placed across the venous anastomosis. Stent was then dilated with 8 x 40 mm balloon. Post stenting/plasty venography was performed. Access sheaths and wires were removed. Gentle pressure was applied to the access sites to achieve complete hemostasis. Sites were dressed in a sterile fashion. Patient tolerated the procedure well. No immediate post-procedure complication was seen. At the end of the procedure, good thrill was felt along the graft. FINDINGS: 1. Pullback venography along the venous outflow tract demonstrated thrombus extending to the level of left brachial vein. 2. Post-mechanical thrombectomy and ___ arterial anastomotic embolectomy venogram demonstrated some flow within the graft and outflow tract, but with about 80% venous juxta-anastomotic stenosis, in addition to moderate amount of thrombus in the mid graft. No central stenosis was seen. 3. Post balloon dilatation (7 x 20 mm) venography demonstrated some improvement in the flow and venous juxta-anastomotic stenosis. There was also some improvement in the mid graft thrombosis. 4. No stenosis seen at the arterial anastomosis. 5. Post balloon dilatation (8 x 40 mm) venography demonstrated improvement in the flow but with about 40% residual stenosis at the venous anastomosis. There was also improvement in the arterial limb thrombus, with minimal residue. 6. Post venous juxta-anastomotic stenting/plasty venography demonstrated significant improvement in the flow with no residual stenosis at the venous anastomosis. At the end of the procedure, good thrill was felt through the graft. IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated left upper extremity AV graft, venous outflow tract and central venography, mechanical thrombectomy, arterial anastomosis embolectomy, angioplasty (7 and 8mm) and venous anastomotic Fluency 8 x 40 mm stent placement.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man with history of right upper extremity clot who is not on anticoagulation. COMPARISON: Right upper extremity venous ultrasound ___. RIGHT UPPER EXTREMITY VENOUS ULTRASOUND: Gray-scale, spectral Doppler examination of the right internal jugular, subclavian, axillary, brachial, basilic, and cephalic veins was performed. A small region of non-occlusive echogenic material is again noted within one of the two right brachial veins in the upper arm, which may represent small non-occluded thrombus versus valve, unchanged in appearance since ___. Vascular flow is identified within this vein, and the vein was noted to completely compress. Normal flow is noted within the right subclavian vein. Normal flow and compression is noted within the remainder of the upper extremity veins. IMPRESSION: Small region of echogenic material within one of the two right brachial veins may represent a non-occlusive thrombus versus visualization of venous valve. This is unchanged from ___. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Low-grade temperature, questionable pneumonia. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the lung volumes have decreased. There is subsequent increase in density of the lung parenchyma. Unchanged is the course of the right venous access line and position of the defibrillator devices. Also unchanged is the appearance of a mild scar in the left lung. There is continued elevation of the left hemidiaphragm. Neither the frontal nor the lateral radiographs show evidence of focal parenchymal opacities suggesting pneumonia. Unchanged normal size of the cardiac silhouette. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ with congenital intestinal obstruction and long-term G-tube. Pain around G-tube site. COMPARISON: CT of the torso from ___. FINDINGS: Two frontal images of the abdomen show a paucity of bowel gas. There is an air-fluid level in the right upper quadrant as well as a probable air-fluid level in the stomach, a finding that is suggestive of obstruction. Surgical clips are noted in the right upper quadrant as well as a gastrostomy tube with button in the mid abdomen. Visualized osseous structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Bowel gas pattern suggestive of obstruction. This study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man with right Hickman for TPN, increased pain and fevers of unclear etiology. Please evaluate Hickman site for infection or abscess. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to chest radiograph performed on ___ as well as upper extremity venous ultrasound performed on ___. FINDINGS: Right-sided tunneled central line identified. Sonographic evaluation of the surrounding subcutaneous tissues demonstrates no evidence of focal fluid collection or hyperemia. IMPRESSION: Right-sided central venous catheter with no evidence to suggest adjacent infection. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with fevers and decreased breath sounds on the left, now with concern for pneumonia. COMPARISON: Comparison is made with chest radiographs from ___ and ___. FINDINGS: PA and lateral images of the chest demonstrate slightly decreased lung volumes likely due to poor inspiration, but lungs are clear. The left hemidiaphragm is elevated slightly. Epicardial defibrillators are seen. Venous access line is again seen with the tip in the right atrium. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable. Visualized osseous structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Unchanged chest radiograph from previous imaging with no evidence of pneumonia. Radiology Report COMPARISON: ___ CT chest, ___ CT torso. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ man with G-tube for drainage. Question occult infection or urinary retention. Also, history of small-bowel transplant x 2. TECHNIQUE: 5-mm axial series with coronal and sagittal reformats through the chest, abdomen and pelvis without contrast. DLP: 443.05. FINDINGS: There are bilateral level 6 lymph nodes measuring 1 cm in short axis on the right and 11 mm on the left (2:3, 2:5). Lack of IV contrast limits mediastinal lymph node evaluation. There is a 12-mm prevascular lymph node, a 1 cm paratracheal lymph node (2:18) and a 1 cm carinal node (2:21). A right chest port is noted with tip seen at the superior cavoatrial junction. Epicardial pacing leads are present without a battery pack identified. Heart size within normal limits. No pericardial effusion. Normal small hiatal hernia. Fluid is seen in the esophagus. Small bilateral pleural effusions with bilateral dependent atelectasis. There is a focus of consolidation in the left lower lobe (2:21). No other air space consolidation is seen. No suspicious nodules or masses. Lack of IV contrast limits evaluation of the solid organs of the abdomen. There is a stable 1.7 cm left hepatic lobe hypodensity, which has been characterized on previous ultrasound as a simple cyst. Patient is status post cholecystectomy. Normal non-contrast appearance of the pancreas. Spleen is enlarged measuring 15.6 cm. The stomach and duodenum are markedly distended with normal caliber of the fourth portion. The appearance is not changed from ___ comparison. The gastric tube balloon is outside the stomach on current exam and was documented to be within the stomach on ___ CT chest exam. Staple line at the end of the duodenum suggests discontinuity with the distal bowel. The bladder is severely distended occupying much of the pelvis. A colonic remnant is seen in the pelvis. There is bilateral hydronephrosis, likely due to bladder outlet obstruction. Normal caliber and course of the vasculature. No acute osseous abnormality. IMPRESSION: 1. Left lower lobe consolidation consistent with pneumonia. 2. G-tube is displaced with balloon sitting within the abdominal wall. 3. Presumed bladder outlet obstruction resulting in severe enlargement of the bladder and moderate bilateral renal pelvicaliectasis. 4. Unchanged appearance of the stomach and residual small bowel. 5. Small pleural effusions and free abdominal fluid. Dr ___ the above findings with Dr ___ on ___ at 1410 hours via telephone approximately 1 hours after the findings were made. Radiology Report INDICATION: Evaluation of patient with bladder outlet obstruction with hydronephrosis status post decompression. COMPARISON: CT torso from ___. FINDINGS: The right kidney measures 13.5 cm. The left kidney measures 13.0 cm. Bilateral kidneys demonstrate mild prominence of the collecting system suggestive of mild hydronephrosis. A Foley catheter is noted in the bladder and the bladder is decompressed. IMPRESSION: 1. Bilateral prominent collecting systems suggestive of mild bilateral hydronephrosis. 2. The bladder appears decompressed with a Foley placed inside. Radiology Report CHEST HISTORY: NG tube placement after G-tube dislodged. FINDINGS: The NG tube tip is in the stomach. The epicardial defibrillator device is again visualized. Venous access line is again seen with tip in the right atrium. There is new obscuration of the left hemidiaphragm, compatible with left lower lobe infiltrate or region of volume loss. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with fever, tachycardia, please assess for abscess around partially extruded G-tube. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to PET-CT performed ___. FINDINGS: G-tube balloon is identified within the superficial soft tissues of the upper abdomen. Exam is limited due to air within the balloon, though no large fluid collections are evident. Surrounding tissue is minimally thickened consistent with reactive change. IMPRESSION: No focal fluid collection or abscess identified. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with fever, tachycardia, and concern for pneumonia. COMPARISON: Comparison is made with chest radiographs from ___ and ___. FINDINGS: Single frontal image of the chest demonstrates low lung volumes which are likely secondary to poor inspiration. There has been interval increase in the left lower lobe opacity. The increase in opacity of the right perihilar region likely represents vascular crowding secondary to low lung volumes. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is slightly more obscured by the increasing left opacity but appears to be unchanged from prior exam. The right central line, defibrillator devices, and NG tube appear to be in unchanged positions. IMPRESSION: Increasing left lower lobe opacity. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: Status post bowel resection for intestinal obstruction, non-functioning gastric tube, fever, abdominal distention. Evaluate for free air. ABDOMEN SUPINE AND UPRIGHT The tip of the nasogastric tube lies within the stomach. The prior CT of ___ shows a massively distended stomach and also a markedly distended bladder. On the upright film, air-fluid level is present which probably represents air within the distended bladder but could actually represent air within the markedly distended stomach. A drain or catheter is seen extending into the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. There is no free air under the diaphragm. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: Patient with intestinal atresia and multiple bowel surgeries with failed G-tube which needs to be re-sited. Evaluate for arterial supply of rectus muscle. ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL WITH DOPPLER ANALYSIS The rectus muscle on both sides was evaluated. The right is somewhat more echogenic and shows evidence of fatty infiltration, while the left rectus shows normal muscle texture. The deep epigastric artery on both sides was normal and patent and Doppler showed normal arterial flow. The veins are not demonstrated, but this is probably due to stretching of the veins by the distended abdomen. Evaluation for perforators was made, two were seen on the right and one on the left, both approximately 1 cm below the umbilicus. If the original films are reviewed, mirror artifact is present in the anterior abdominal wall which gives the impression of paired arteries. In all cases, only one artery is present, the other is artifactual as is the Doppler tracing. IMPRESSION: Deep epigastric arteries, both patent. Veins not demonstrated. Perforators are present. Fatty infiltration of right rectus muscle. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man with congenital interstitial pseudoobstruction status post resection, failed intestinal transplant, now TPN dependent s/p NG tube placement. COMPARISONS: ___ to ___. FINDINGS: An NG tube extends into the body of the stomach and folds back on itself with the tip pointing cranially. Right-sided subclavian central catheter terminates in the right atrium. Defibrillator devices are in unchanged positions. External lead wires and tubes overlying the patient limit evaluation. Lung volumes are low. There is no new pulmonary opacity. Pulmonary markings accentuated by the low lung volumes. IMPRESSION: NG tube folds back on itself in the body of the stomach. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with known right upper extremity DVT. Question progression. Comparison is made to ___ and ___. FINDINGS: Grayscale and color and spectral Doppler images were obtained of the right IJ, subclavian, axillary, brachial, basilic and cephalic veins. A small region of nonocclusive thrombus is again seen in one of the two right brachial veins. Vascular flow is identified within this vein. Normal flow, compression, augmentation is seen in the remainder of the veins. IMPRESSION: Small region of nonocclusive thrombus again identified in the right brachial vein. No change from the prior studies. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: PICC placement, evaluation for pneumonia. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. Parenchymal opacities at both the left and the right lung bases, potentially is associated to a small pleural effusion on the left. In the appropriate clinical setting, these opacities could represent pneumonia. The monitoring and support devices, including the defibrillator patches are constant. Moderate pulmonary edema. Moderate cardiomegaly.

# G-tube migration - Patient presented with severe pain secondary to G-tube migration. He required IV dilaudid for pain control. Restarted TPN per nutrition recs, used home TPN regimen with some electrolyte additives. ACS & Dr. ___ ___ and performed wound exploration and sharp debridement percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy on ___. They replaced the G tube and created a stomach osteomy (which will close by secondary intention). The tubes showed good output on suction and was eventually left to gravity with connecting bags. The pain was then controlled with IV Dilaudid and the pt was slowly weaned off of IV Dilaudid over a span of a week. Seen by Pain Medicine for pain control, however, patient was unwilling to try suggested alternatives. Pt cannot take PO medications due to lack of intestines. Patient did not object to being sent home without pain medications other then Fentanyl patches (cannot send patient on IV dilaudid due to risk of overuse). Fentanyl patches and pain control will be followed-up with the patient's PCP. Octeotride was suggested to decrease gastric output, howver, patient verbalized that he could maintain good hydration. Also, electrolytes were stable s/p surgery. # Fever / Sepsis - Patient was febrile between ___. Met sepsis criteria based on fever, tachycardia (as high as 140, sinus tachycardia, consistent with temperature elevation), leukopenia, and suspected infection. Infectious disease specialists were consulted. Ultimately, the source could not be confirmed as there were many possible sources (outlined below). Continued to spike fevers despite vancomycin, cefepime, daptomycin. On ___, pt was febrile most of the day to ___, had sinus tachycardia to the 130-140s. Gave fluid bolus, used cooling blankets, IV tyelenol & toradol. Fevers ultimately resolved with initiation of broad spectrum antibiotics (linezolid, metronidazole, cefepime). Cefepime and metronidazole were discontinued on ___. Linezolid course, ___ - ___, per ID. Lineziolid was discontinued due to agranulocytosis and thus was switched to Doxycycline. Doxycycline would be continued until pt is seen by ID in clinic (treatment for MRSA catheter tip infection). Pt was afebrile on Doxycycline except for one fever s/p surgery. At time of discharge, patient was afebrile and had stable VS. ANTIBIOTICS HISTORY Vancomycin: preadmission - ___ Ciprofloxacin: ___ Fluconazole: ___ Daptomycin: ___ Cefepime: ___ Metronidazole: ___ Linezolid: ___ Doxycycline: ___- ___ Visit # RUE DVT - pt did not adhere to lovenox therapy prescribed in ___. During this admission, RUE US showed stable clot, lovenox was restarted during this admission, but patient refused lovenox shots after 3 days. Heparin drip also tried but discontinued as the patient refused a dedicated line for heparin drip. He communicated full understanding of risks of not treating DVT. After further discussion with patient, heparin drip was started ___. Developed increased RUE swelling ___, and repeat RUE ultrasound showed stable DVT. At time of discharge, pt was explained the risk and benefits of anti-coagulation. The pt fully understood the risk of PE without anticoagulation. He was unwilling to have daily Lovenox shots or Coumadin PR. He persistently declined anticoagulation and is aware of the risk of DVT's, including PE and possible death. . # Pancytopenia - rec'd 2U PRBCs on ___, HCT increased appropriately from ___. He has chronic pancytopenia likely from nutritional deficiency and repeated courses of broad spectrum antibiotics. Got 2U PRBCs on ___ with suboptimal response. Hemolysis labs unremarkable. However, reticulocytes were depressed at 0.9 on ___, likely secondary to linezolid. Linezolid was discontinued ___. The pancytopenia improved after discontinuation of Linezolid, however, patient is still pancytopenic likely from nutritional deficit. It has been stable over the last 2 weeks of his admission. . # Catheter tip infection He has a ___ catheter for TPN. He had a MRSA catheter tip infection on ___ for which he had been started on vancomycin. We continued IV vancomycin, originally planned to complete 4 week course of vancomycin until ___. However, as he developed fevers on ___, vancomycin was continued until ___, at which point vancomycin was changed to daptomycin because of concern that fevers were drug-related. Daptomycin was changed to linezolid on ___ because fevers persisted. CBC monitored daily because marrow suppression is an adverse effect of linezolid. On ___, reticulocytes were low, so linezolid was stopped and changed to doxycycline on ___ for the MRSA catheter tip infection. Because he is TPN-dependent, he is at risk for fungemia, but mycolytic cultures x2 were negative. Soft tissue ultrasound was not suggestive of pocket infection or abscess. Doxycycline was continued until ___ clinic visit for the MRSA catheter tip infection. Discharged with IV Doxycycline. . # Lactobacillus bacteremia - ___ blood culture from ___ catheter grew lactobacillus. Empirically treated with cefepime and metronidazole ___. All other blood cultures negative. . # ___ urinary tract infection - He complained of dysuria on ___, UA was suggestive of UTI, so he received two days of IV ciprofloxacin ___, which was stopped because urine cultures grew yeast. He was treated with fluconazole for 3 days. . # ICD lead infection - Patient had an ICD placed ___ at ___ for Vfib arrest in ___, pocket revision ___, and partial lead and generator removal on ___. CTS has seen and felt that the operative risk of removal of ICD leads is too high. PET-CT did not show increased FDG uptake suggestive of lead infection. . # HCAP - CT showed LLL consolidation, treated with cefepime ___. . # Tooth pain - he complained of tooth pain and a recently chipped tooth, so a panorex was done, he was seen by an oral surgeon, who recommended no intervention for his tooth pain. . # Chronic urinary retention: Has atonic bladder secondary to congenital intestinal obstruction. Renal ultrasound and PET-CT showed hydronephrosis and large, distended bladder. Seen by urology in-house. Required intermittent straight catheterization for bladder decompression during this admission. Will have f/u with Dr. ___. . # Hypernatremia, Hypokalemia, Metabolic Alkalosis - On presentation, was hypernatremic, hypokalemic, and had a metabolic alkalosis. Occurred in the setting of missing 2 days of TPN because of repeated ED visits. Improved with 3.5L hypotonic IV fluids. Venous blood gas consistent with pure metabolic alkalosis. Most likely etiology is gastrointestinal/insensible losses of free water and H+ through the leaky G-tube. Contraction alkalosis likely also contributed in the setting of volume depletion as he was unable to get TPN or hydration. After initial volume resuscitation, electrolytes normalized and were maintained with daily TPN and occassional electrolyte replacement. Normal electrolytes at time of discharge. .

Prodrome of diaphoresis in addition to a prolonged recovery from the episodes suggest vasovagal etiology, likely in the setting of her recent life stressors with work. Syncope work-up for other etiologies was negative. In particular, ECHO and carotid US showed no signs of stenosis or outflow obstruction. EKGs showed sinus bradycardia, and patient has no history of heart disease, palpitations, arrhythmia thus unlikely a cardiac cause. However, she will go home with ___ of Hearts monitoring. Patient was educated about vasovagal and encouraged to maintain PO intake and use physical counterpressure techniques when she feels symptoms. #Episodic Hypertension: Patient presented with hypertensive urgency at 170/102 on admission, with baseline at 110's/70's, per patient. Patient has had episodic elevations in blood pressure throughout admission, ranging from 110s-170s/70s-100s, though has been asymptomatic. Initial elevation may have been attributed to clonidine rebound (which she takes for night sweats/anxiety). Clonidine was stopped and patient was started on captopril 6.25 TID in the hospital. She was discharged on lisinopril 5 mg daily, and will follow up with PCP for medication titration. Given episodic elevations in blood pressure, sweating, weight loss, there was concern for pheochromocytoma. Urine metanephrines are pending at discharge. #Night Sweats: Patient endorses 7 lb weight loss over past two months with daily night sweats, dissimilar to her hot flash symptoms. CXR normal with no signs of lung mass or TB infection. LDH slightly elevated, though hemolyzed specimen. Patient has had history of longstanding night sweats, often triggered but life stressors. #Diarrhea: Patient endorses watery diarrhea at nights every ___ days, usually attributed to stress episodes. No recent antibiotics, exposure, no association with food, no significant caffeine intake. During hospital stay, patient had no bowel movements. #Wheezing: Patient is asymptomatic, though diffuse bilateral wheezing was heard on exam. Patient notes history of asthma/allergies, particularly worse during this time of year. She uses home mucinex and claritin, which successfully manages her symptoms. ***TRANSITIONAL ISSUES*** [ ] f/u quantiferon gold due to concern for night sweats and weight loss [ ] f/u ___ of Hearts [ ] f/u urine metanephrines due to concern for pheochromocytoma.

No spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium or left atrial appendage. No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. There is moderate to severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with anteroseptal, inferoseptal and inferior wall hypokinesis. Overall left ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (LVEF=20%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There are simple atheroma in the aortic root. There are simple atheroma in the ascending aorta. There are complex (mobile) atheroma in the descending aorta. There are three aortic valve leaflets. The aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. There is severe aortic valve stenosis (valve area 0.8-1.0cm2). Mild to moderate (___) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are moderately thickened. There is moderate thickening of the mitral valve chordae. There is no pericardial effusion. POST-BYPASS The patient is AV paced. The patient is receiving epinephrine, norepinephrine, milrinone, and vasopressin by IV infusion. The right ventricle displays normal basal and mid function with mild apical hypokinesis. The left ventricle displays areas of septal dyskinesis with inferoseptal and anteroseptal akinesis. The rest of the left ventricular segments display mild global hypokinesis. The left ventricular ejection fraction is about 25%. There is a bioprosthesis located in the aortic position. It appears well seated. The leaflets are only very poorly seen. The peak gradient through the aortic valve was 20 mmHg with a mean gradient of a 12 mmHg at a cardiac output near 5 liters/minute. No significant aortic regurgitation is appreciated. The mitral regurgitation is worsened and is now moderate in intensity and centrally directed. The rest of valvular function appears unchanged. The mobile atheroma seen in the descending thoracic aorta iin the pre-bypass study is no longer seen. The thoracic aorta appears intact after decannulation. Radiology Report CAROTID SERIES COMPLETE PORT Study Date of ___ FINDINGS: Of note, patient is on intra-aortic balloon pump during the examination. Grayscale images demonstrate mild heterogeneous plaque in bilateral internal carotid arteries, right worse than left. Peak systolic velocity in the proximal, mid and distal right internal carotid artery was 86, 72, and 42 cm/sec with end-diastolic velocity of 16, 14, and 12 cm/sec respectively.

Edema: trace bilat Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with elevated troponin. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is mild to moderate cardiomegaly as well as mild pulmonary edema. Right lower lobe and retrocardiac opacities may be atelectasis although underlying infection is difficult to exclude. The patient is status post median sternotomy and CABG. There is a small right pleural effusion. There is no pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: Mild congestive heart failure with small right pleural effusion. Bibasilar airspace opacities likely reflect atelectasis, but infection is not excluded. Radiology Report HISTORY: Ulcer. Assess for osteomyelitis. Three views of the right foot show amputation of the fifth toe at the level of the proximal fifth metatarsal. There is unusual tapering of the distal fourth metatarsal and nonspecific abnormality of the adjacent fourth MP joint. There is a large erosion of the distal articular surface of the second metatarsal. Smooth periosteal new bone along several metatarsals presumably reflecting abnormal weight bearing post resection. There is a nonspecific abnormality and possible bone destruction at the third PIP joint. Vascular calcifications. The hindfoot is normal. Since remote last previous exam ___, there has been further amputation of the fifth toe with changes and bone destruction in the second, third, and fourth toes all having appeared. IMPRESSION: Findings are consistent with osteomyelitis in several toes. Localizing history would be helpful in this regard. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man with peripheral vascular disease, and CHF and nonhealing right foot ulcer. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Doppler waveform analysis, pulse volume recordings, and ankle-brachial indices were evaluated bilaterally. Of note, there are noncompressible vessels at the level of the ankles. On the right, there is a triphasic waveform at level of the femoral artery, and conversion to a monophasic waveform at the level of the popliteal, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis artery regions. Additionally, there is reduction in amplitude at level of the ankle and metatarsal on the right. The ankle-brachial index could be assessed. On the left, there is triphasic waveform at the level of the femoral and popliteal arteries, and conversion to a monophasic waveform at the level of the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries, with reduction of amplitude at the level of the ankle and metatarsal. IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with bilateral tibial arterial insufficiency, and additionally, right SFA disease. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of congestive heart failure and aortic stenosis, now with new-onset seizure. Evaluate for acute intracranial process. COMPARISON: None.

The device could be pulled back by approximately 1 to 2 cm. The Swan-Ganz catheter is in unchanged position. Unchanged appearance of the cardiac silhouette. Unchanged mild bilateral pleural effusions. Radiology Report INDICATION: Preoperative examination before coronary bypass, remote left-sided carotid endarterectomy. COMPARISON: Carotid ultrasound, ___. TECHNIQUE: Realtime grayscale and Doppler ultrasound examination of bilateral neck arteries. FINDINGS: Of note, patient is on intra-aortic balloon pump during the examination. Grayscale images demonstrate mild heterogeneous plaque in bilateral internal carotid arteries, right worse than left. Peak systolic velocity in the proximal, mid and distal right internal carotid artery was 86, 72, and 42 cm/sec with end-diastolic velocity of 16, 14, and 12 cm/sec respectively. Right CCA peak systolic velocity was 57 segment with end-diastolic velocity of 9 cm/sec. Right external carotid peak systolic velocity was 88 cm/sec. Right vertebral artery is antegrade with proximal peak systolic velocity of 33 cm/sec. ICA/CCA ratio is 1.5. Findings suggest less than 40% stenosis of the right internal carotid artery. Peak systolic velocity in the proximal, mid and distal left internal carotid artery was 101, 81, and 73 cm/sec respectively with end-diastolic velocity of 34, 25, and 23 cm/sec respectively. Left CCA peak systolic velocity was 77 cm/sec with end-diastolic velocity of 20 cm/sec. Left external carotid peak systolic velocity was 122 cm/sec. Left vertebral artery was antegrade with proximal peak systolic velocity of 84 cm/sec. Left ICA/CCA ratio was 1.3. Findings suggest less than 40% stenosis of the left internal carotid artery. CONCLUSION: Less than 40% stenosis in either internal carotid artery. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of four-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting with stenosis, also with severe aortic stenosis, now in need of preoperative evaluation for revision CABG and aortic valve replacement. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical CT scan of the chest was obtained without the administration of contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There are severe vascular calcifications of the native coronary arteries as well as calcifications of apparent previous bypass grafts.

MEDICINE COURSE: Mr. ___ is a ___ year old male with known coronary artery disease who was transferred from OSH for treatment of severe SOB and DOE. CXR on admission was consistent with pulmonary edema. He was initially admitted to the ___ service and started with IV lasix boluses for diuresis. On hospital day 2 he syncopized with precedent lightheadedness. He also triggered for hypoxia with O2 sats to mid ___ on 5L NC. He was switched to a high flow face mask and started on lasix and nitroglycerin drips. A TTE performed that day was notable for severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with focal near-akinesis of the septum, anterior wall, inferior wall and apex and EF of ___ ( down from 60% on Echo rom ___. He was taken to the cath lab on hospital day 3 given progressive hypoxia and syncope. His cath was notable for a newly occluded SVG-RCA and SVG to ramus with significant stenosis. Aortic valve area of ~0.5-0.6cm. . Right heart cath was notable for RA pressure 15, PCWP ~30, cardiac index 1.6 consistent with cardiogenic shock. An intra-aortic ballon pump was placed in the cath lab and he was transferred to the CCU. In the CCU he remained on a lasix drip and nitro drip, titrated to maintain a a CVP of ___. The nitro gtt was weaned on hospital day 5. Isosorbide and hydralalzine were also added for afterload reduction. The patient was weaned from the ballon pump on hospital day 8. The lasix drip was discontinue on hospital 9 and he was started on torsemide for diuresis. The patient likely had progressive demand ischemia of his myocardium secondary to re-stenosis of his grafts and progression of his AS, leading to decreased EF and WMA and cardiogenic shock. The patient also had progression of his AS, now severe with Aortic Valve mean gradient = 24 mmHg. ___ 0.6 sq cm.. His severe AS and decreased EF likely contributed his poor CI and CO. He was evaluated BY CT surgery for aortic valve replacement and revision of CABG, which was initially delayed to allow to time for washout of his prasurgrel. During this time he was also seen by the infectious disease, vascular surgery and podiatry services for non healing ulcer of right foot. He was started on Vancomycin and Zosyn for osteomyelitis of foot.

Encephalopathy secondary to urosepsis: Alertness has been improving, however still oriented x 0. This is likely closer to the patient's recent baseline secondary to dementia and glioblastoma. Patient initially presented with fever, urinary retention, and altered mental status likely secondary to continued issues with foley catheter/urinary retention. There may be element of post-renal obstruction with blood clots/bleeding leading to ___ and decreased excretion of drug metabolites. Appears to have failed outpatient levofloxacin therapy for previous acinetobacter UTI. -Urine culture revealed levofloxacin resistant staph. -Received 6 days of antibiotics, transitioned to comfort-focused care at discharge. -Blood Cx NGTD -Failed voiding trial so foley was re-inserted. 2. Malnutrition: Given delirium, patient with very minimal PO intake. Occasionally can tolerate ice cream and has been swallowing meds with this. Despite aspiration risk, feeding for comfort is acceptable. 3. ___: Improved. Likely elements of post-renal given urinary retention and blood clot obstructing foley and pre-renal from decreased PO intake in setting of encephalopathy. Improved with foley and IVFs. Baseline 0.9-1.0 4. Agitation: Initially required restraints during acute encephalopathic process from pulling foley. His foley was removed with plans for straight cath to prevent him from needing restraints to keep him from pulling his foley, but he failed voiding trial and foley reinserted. He was continued on Zydis 10 mg QHS for agitation; additional Zydis available PRN. Benzodiazepines were avoided as they were extremely sedating to him. 5. Glioblastoma: S/p chemoradiation and recent bevacizumab treatment.

Per ED history taken from daughter, at baseline uses a walker and is AOx1. For the past ___ he has had increased agitation and combativeness requiring more seroquel (120mg total past 24hrs). Found to be more somnolent, nonconversant and lethargic today, with new twitching. Over past few weeks patient also noted to be bruising more, ASA81 was discontinued 3 days ago. No sources of bleeding, no diarrhea or fevers noted. Daughter suspects possible UTI, also noted new cough over past few days. UCx recently checked ___ with fecal contaminants. In the ED, initial vitals were 97.6 60 132/86 16 98%RA. Renal was consulted for renal failure and hyperkalemia, dialysis was deferred with medical management recommended. While being evaluated, he was found to be hypotensive at 2200 to 76/38. Review of his ED BPs showed that his SBP fell over the course of an hour. He was given 1L IVF, with vanc/cef also started; his BP recovered over another hour to 103/37. He was also given 10mg IV dexamethasone. For acute hypotension, he was admitted to the ICU. Other notable ED findings included: Hct 25.1 (___) -> 22.3 ___ Cr 2.6 -> 2.9; K 4.7 -> 6.4 -> 5.3 after insulin and dextrose with kayexelate and calcium gluconate also given; Na 134 -> 126 -> 129 (though in the high 120's previously). Lactate was unremarkable at 0.8, UA unremarkable. No coagulation abnormalities. CXR was obtained. EKG per ED read was paced w/o peaked T waves. In the unit, the daughter was concerned for overdosing his seroquel, but believes that his fluid has been appropriately managed given h/o R heart failure.

Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male admitted with cholangitis and gram negative bacteremia. Query pancreatic head mass. COMPARISON: Prior ultrasound liver from ___ and prior CT abdomen and pelvis from ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1 and T2 weighted breath hold independent imaging was performed on a 1.5 tesla magnet. No IV contrast was administered given patient's history of contrast allergy. MRCP was also performed. FINDINGS: This is a limited examination given lack of intravenous contrast administration, due to patient's history of contrast allergy. Minor linear atelectasis is identified at both lung bases. Mild basal bronchiectasis is identified. Again identified is a multiloculated cyst in segment 8 of the liver measuring 1.8 cm x 2.0 cm (AP, TV). An additional tiny cyst is identified in segment 4A of the liver. Moderate intrahepatic ductal dilatation is identified. Signal voids are identified within the proximal intrahepatic ducts on the T2 weighted imaging, related to pneumobilia from recent sphincterotomy. Previously identified stone in CBD is not evident. Small amount of perihepatic fluid is identified. The gallbladder is markedly contracted, unchanged in appearance compared to prior CT. A 9 mm slightly lobulated cystic lesion is identified in the head of the pancreas, in communication with the main pancreatic duct, statistically representing a small side branch IPMN. No suspicious features are identified. The remainder of the pancreas demonstrates normal signal and morphology. No pancreatic ductal dilatation. No suspicious pancreatic mass is identified. Stable compression fracture of the T12 vertebral body is noted. Levoconvex scoliosis of the lumbar spine is evident. The abdominal aorta is tortuous and slightly ectatic. Moderate sigmoid diverticulosis is evident. The urinary bladder demonstrates multiple small diverticuli, which may be a sequelae of chronic obstruction or less likely infection. IMPRESSION: 1. Limited examination due to the absence of intravenous contrast, however no suspicious pancreatic mass. A cystic lesion in the pancreatic head in communication with pancreatic duct, likely representing a small side branch IPMN. No further follow-up is needed for this. 2. Slightly prominent proximal intrahepatic biliary ducts. Pneumobilia, related to recent sphincterotomy. Trace perihepatic fluid.

======= SUMMARY ======= Ms. ___ is a ___ year old female with past medical history notable for multiple myeloma, with recent admission due to concerns for HSV-2 aseptic meningitis, readmitted due to fevers and confusion at home. Her repeat infectious workup was largely unremarkable (including negative HSV-2 CSF PCR) except for persistent, although decreased, lymphocytes in her CSF. She was treated empirically with a 10d course of vancomycin, cefepime, ampicillin, and acyclovir for possible HSV-2 meningitis, and other possible bacterial causes. Her hospital course was unremarkable. ============== ACUTE PROBLEMS ============== #Altered mental status #Fevers Recent discharge for presumed aseptic HSV-2 meningits, as patient had presented at that time with similar symptoms of AMS and fevers, with CSF PCR notable for low-level positive HSV-2. She had at that time received both a full IV acyclovir course as well as PO valacyclovir in the outpatient setting. She was subsequently readmitted after several days due to similar symptoms. Of note, her initial fever of T 101.6 in the ED had defervesced prior to initiation of antimicrobial agents. Presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 aseptic meningitis vs Malloret's meningitis vs undertreated viral/bacterial etiology that was not adequately covered during last admission. Infectious workup largely unremarkable - CSF PCR for this admit was negative for HSV-2, although did demonstrate lymphocytes. She ultimately received a total of 10 days of vancomycin, cefepime, ampicillin, and acyclovir for empiric coverage of possible undertreated viral and bacterial causes. ================ CHRONIC PROBLEMS ================ #Multiple Myeloma She had not been taking her pomalyst on admission per outpatient oncology direction. This was not continued while inpatient as well. She had normal quantitative Ig levels during this admission. # CODE: Full (presumed) # EMERGENCY CONTACT: Name of health care proxy: ___ ___: daughter Phone number: ___ This patient was prescribed, or continued on, an opioid pain medication at the time of discharge (please see the attached medication list for details). As part of our safe opioid prescribing process, all patients are provided with an opioid risks and treatment resource education sheet and encouraged to discuss this therapy with their outpatient providers to determine if opioid pain medication is still indicated.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: headache Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: The pt is a ___ year-old right-handed woman with history of pseudotumor cerebri diagnosed in ___, who is being followed by Neurology for recurrence of headaches and papilledema, recently restarted on Acetazolamide, who presents with fatigue, worsening headache and tingling in hands and feet. Of note, patient was seen in Neurology clinic on ___ by Dr. ___ Dr. ___ evaluation of recurrent headaches and papilledema, with concern for recurrent pseudotumor. In terms of her history, per Dr. ___: "She was initially diagnosed with pseudotumor in ___ ___. At that time she presented with right occipital headaches that worsened with valsalva maneuver and responded easily to mild analgesics. She was found to have optic disk swelling. She had gained 30 pounds shortly before that evaluation and the diagnosis was idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri). She had an elevated opening pressure of 23 cm H20 on flouro-guided LP, which was not a large volume tap. She was started on acetazolamide 1000 mg a day and remained on it for ___ years. The symptoms resolved fairly quickly, she stopped the medication ___ years later." When patient was seen in clinic on ___, she reported that headaches had retruned 6 months ago. Again these were right occipital, more sharo than previously (were dull on first presentation). They were also noted to be precipitated by coughing, laughing and straining. At that visit, she denied any visual symptoms such as transient visual obscurations (TVOs) or permanent vision loss, however did note occasional diplopia on end gaze. She reported that on recent ophthalmology evaluation dilated fundoscopic exam revealed papilledema. She also noted other symptoms of numbness in her right hand (median nerve distribution) and clumsiness of that hand, as well as episode of dysequilibrium. At that visit, Dr. ___ was likely recurrence of pseudotumor cerebri, but also wanted to rule out other etiologies such as venous sinus thrombosis or intracranial mass. She recommended MRI/MRV and large volume tap. Patient refused outpatient LP given she would prefer ___ guided LP from experience in past. Dr. ___ her on Acetazolamide 500mg BID. MRI/MRV was done which showed downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils with a "peg-like" configuration, that together with empty sella may be consequent to pseudotumor cerebri rather than congenital Chiari I malformation. Patient now presents with worsening fatigue since starting Acetazolamide as well as more constant headache which is more dull, and not only brought on by Valsalva maneuver. Furthermore, she notes increasing numbness and tingling of her hands and feet. She also notes right posterior neck pain which is very sensitive and feels like a spasm. She again notes diplopia on distal end gaze but no other visual symptoms. No nausea or vomiting. No positional aspect to headaches. Also notes some trouble finding the right words more recently. States she was driving and can't remember the streets as well. Lastly, her right hand feels a little weaker, not as strong as it typically is as well.

COMPARISON: Head CTA ___ at 12:15 FINDINGS: Acute left subdural hematoma overlying the left cerebral convexity and along the left aspect of the falx measures up to 14 mm in maximal thickness (02:23), and is without substantial interval change from the previous study. There is no significant shift of normally midline structures. No new areas of intracranial hemorrhage are demonstrated. There is no evidence of acute large territorial infarction,edema, or mass. There is prominence of the ventricles and sulci suggestive of involutional changes. Periventricular, subcortical and deep white matter hypodensities are nonspecific, but likely reflect the sequela of chronic microvascular infarction. Atherosclerotic calcifications of the cavernous carotid distal right vertebral arteries are re- demonstrated. There is no evidence of acute fracture. Chronic left nasal bone deformity is again noted. Mild to moderate mucosal thickening is seen involving the maxillary sinuses bilaterally as well as scattered ethmoid air cells. The visualized portion of the remaining paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: No substantial interval change in appearance of acute subdural hematoma overlying the left cerebral convexity and left aspect of the falx. No new areas of hemorrhage identified.

Discharge Disposition: Extended Care Facility: ___ Discharge Diagnosis: Empyema Discharge Condition: Mental Status: Clear and coherent. Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH HISTORY: Acute shortness of breath. COMPARISONS: None. TECHNIQUE: Chest, semi-upright AP portable. FINDINGS: There is widespread opacification of the right lower hemithorax including a suspected large pleural effusion on the right with an expansile appearance. There may be a corresponding consolidation or extensive atelectasis involving the right lower lobe and possibly parts of the right middle and upper lobe. The lenticular shape of right mid lung opacity could potentially be seen with a loculated pleural effusion, but a mass could also be considered. The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours appear within normal limits. The left costophrenic sulcus is excluded, but there is no evidence of abnormality in the left hemithorax. Mild mass effect with leftward shift of midline structures is noted. There is no pneumothorax. No bone destruction is appreciated. IMPRESSION: Widespread opacification of the right mid-to-lower hemithorax with mass effect, suspected to represent a pleural effusion at least in part, including a possible large loculated component; a mass could also be considered, in addition to widespread atelectasis or pneumonic consolidation. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with new right pleural effusion and abdominal pain. STUDY: CT of the torso with contrast; 150 cc of Omnipaque intravenous contrast was administered without adverse reaction or complication. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were also generated. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___ at 9:59 a.m. FINDINGS: CHEST: The visualized portion of the thyroid appears unremarkable. Scattered axillary and mediastinal lymph nodes are present, although none meet pathologic size criteria. Multiple prominent bilateral hilar lymph nodes are present measuring 14 mm in their short axis on the right and 12 and 6 mm in their short axis on the left (601:45). The aorta is of a normal caliber along its course with incidental note made of a common origin of the brachiocephalic and left common carotid arteries, a normal variant. The pulmonary arterial trunk caliber is at the upper limits of normal, and there are no central filling defects. Again is noted a large loculated effusion with minimally complex to simple fluid, unlikely to be hemorrhagic. There is associated consolidation of nearly all the right lower and right middle lobes as well as compressive atelectatic effect on the right upper lobe. Portions of these collapsed lobes show variable enhancement, and multiple rounded hypodensities may in fact represent saccular bronchiectasis versus multiple foci of necrotizing pneumonia. The left lung shows a clear upper lobe and saccular bronchiectasis of the lower lobe with diffuse bronchial wall thickenking in addition to some dependent atelectasis. There is no pleural effusion on the left, and there is no pericardial effusion. ABDOMEN: The liver shows no focal lesion or intrahepatic biliary dilatation. Subtle dense material in the neck of the gallbladder may represent small stones or sludge, but there is no pericholecystic fluid, wall edema or gallbladder distention. The pancreas shows no masses or peripancreatic fluid collections. The spleen is normal in size and appearance with a small 1-cm splenule noted anteroinferiorly. The adrenal glands show no nodules. The kidneys enhance with and excrete contrast symmetrically. Multiple well-circumscribed hypodensities are present in both kidneys, too small to characterize but likely representing simple cysts. The small and large bowel show no evidence of obstruction or wall edema. The aorta, IVC and portal vein appear normal. There is no free fluid, free air or lymphadenopathy. PELVIS: The bladder, prostate and rectum appear unremarkable. There is no pelvic lymphadenopathy or free fluid. BONES: A Schmorl's node is present at the inferior endplate of L4 and T12. Otherwise, there are no aggressive-appearing lytic or sclerotic lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Large loculated right pleural effusion; saccular bronchiectasis of the bilateral lower lobes and consolidation of the right middle and right lower lobes with heterogeneous hypoenhancement and rounded hypodensities that may represent either the underlying saccular bronchiectasis versus multifocal necrotizing pneumonia. 2. Cholelithiasis without cholecystitis. 3. Hilar lymphadenopathy may be reactive; follow up imaging after treatment is recommended to ensure resolution. Radiology Report HISTORY: Right pigtail catheter placed for pleural effusion, check position. The pigtail catheter is curled up in the right outer lower chest. There has been a marked reduction in the size of the right pleural effusion. There is some effusion and probably atelectasis is still present. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of HIV, on HAART, initially presenting with shortness of breath, found to have a large right pleural effusion, status post chest tube placement. Evaluate for interval change in effusion and assess for possible loculations. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired through the chest without the administration of intravenous contrast material. Multiplanar reformats were performed. COMPARISON: CT torso from ___. CHEST CT: There has been interval placement of a right pigtail catheter from an intercostal approach, with the pigtail located in the mid anterolateral pleural space. Although there has been a substantial decrease in size of the free-flowing right pleural effusion, the posterior component is not significantly changed in size, as fluid in the dependent portion of the pleural space is not accessible to the anteriorly positioned pigtail catheter with the patient in a supine position. A tiny left pleural effusion is new. The visualized portion of the thyroid gland is unremarkable. Multiple prominent mediastinal lymph nodes are not significantly changed in overall size or distribution, measuring up to 10 mm in the right paratracheal region (2:24). Assessment for hilar lymphadenopathy is limited secondary to lack of intravenous contrast material. There are no pathologically enlarged axillary lymph nodes. Minimal aortic calcification is noted. There is persistent near complete collapse/consolidation of the right lower lobe, with aeration in this region slightly improved compared to the prior study. Given the lack of intravenous contrast material, previously seen rounded hypodensities within the right lower lobe consolidation cannot be assessed on the present study. Aeration of the right middle lobe is substantially improved. There is severe left lower lobe bronchiectasis with surrounding cicatricial atelectasis/fibrosis, not significantly changed in appearance. There is biapical bullous change, as before. The left upper lung and lingula are well aerated. The central airways are patent. This study was not optimized for evaluation of the subdiaphragmatic contents. A cluster of small lymph nodes near the gastroesophageal junction is not significantly changed in appearance. The remainder of the visualized portion of the upper abdomen is unremarkable. BONE WINDOW: No suspicious lytic or blastic lesions are identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Decreased size of large right free-flowing pleural effusion, status post placement of a percutaneous pigtail catheter. Given anterior positioning of the pigtail catheter within the pleural space, right lateral decubitus patient positioning may be helpful in allowing further drainage of this effusion. 2. Slight improvement in right lower lobe aeration. Previously seen rounded hypodensities within the right lower lobe cannot be assessed on the present study given the lack of intravenous contrast. Of note, these rounded hypodensities were previously thought to be either mucous-filled saccular bronchiectasis or areas of parenchymal necrosis. 3. Markedly improved aeration of the right middle lobe. 4. Unchanged extensive left lower lobe bronchiectasis. Findings were discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ at 6:52 p.m. via telephone on the day of the study. Radiology Report PORTABLE AP CHEST X-RAY INDICATION: Patient with known empyema. Newly hypoxic. Rule out acute process. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Right lower lung mild-to-moderate pleural effusion has slightly improved with pigtail projecting in mid hemithorax. There is no pneumothorax. Left lower lobe consolidation has significantly improved. There is no new consolidation. Mediastinal and cardiac contours are normal. CONCLUSION: 1. Right small-to-moderate pleural effusion has slightly improved. 2. Left lower lobe consolidation has significantly improved. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with empyema. COMPARISON: Comparison is made with chest radiographs from ___ and ___. FINDINGS: Single frontal image of the chest demonstrates well-expanded lungs. The hazy opacity in the right lung base is again seen, unchanged from previous imaging but much improved from earlier images. The left lung is clear. There is no left pleural effusion. There is no pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable.A chest tube is again seen in place. IMPRESSION: Right basilar opacity consistent with empyema, unchanged from most recent imaging. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 1:01 A.M. ON ___ HISTORY: ___ man with empyema, hypoxia, and tachypnea. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Moderate volume of residual right pleural effusion, and attendant atelectasis or consolidation in the right lower lung have not improved since at least ___, despite the right pleural pigtail catheter in the lower chest laterally. No pneumothorax is present. There is new consolidation at the left lung base, which could be either atelectasis or new pneumonia. If the patient can tolerate conventional radiographs, these, rather than bedside studies, should be obtained. The heart size is normal. Findings were discussed by telephone with the resident physician caring for this patient at 9:03 a.m. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with new PICC line. COMPARISON: Comparison is made with chest radiographs from ___. FINDINGS: Single frontal image of the chest demonstrates a right-sided PICC line in place with the tip in the low SVC. There is no pneumothorax or other complication seen. Again seen is a right pleural effusion that is unchanged from previous exam. Right base atelectasis and right perihilar atelectasis are also again seen unchanged. Right pigtail catheter is seen in same place in the right chest. Atelectasis at the left lower lung base is unchanged. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable but is partially obscured by the right-sided pleural effusion and atelectasis. IMPRESSION: New right-sided PICC in place with the tip in the low SVC, otherwise unchanged chest radiograph. These findings were communicated to ___ with IV nursing team at 11:36 a.m. by phone. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man with empyema. COMPARISON: ___ to ___. FINDINGS: A moderate right pleural effusion is unchanged. A right-sided pigtail catheter is in stable position, now above the meniscus of the effusion. A right-sided PICC line terminates at the cavoatrial junction. Left basal atelectasis is mild. The upper lungs are clear. There is no new consolidation, effusion or pneumothorax. No new abnormal cardiac or mediastinal contour. IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of right pleural effusion. Radiology Report HISTORY: Empyema with chest tube. FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there is little overall change. The opacification at the right base persists with the pigtail catheter projected just above it. Opacification consistent with atelectasis and effusion is also again seen at the left base and the central catheter remains in place. Radiology Report HISTORY: PICC placement. FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, the tip of the PICC line is again in the mid-to-lower portion of the SVC. The moderate right effusion is essentially unchanged with a pigtail catheter above the level of the fluid collection. Streak of atelectasis is seen at the left base and there is a region of the retrocardiac opacification consistent with volume loss in the left lower lobe. No definite vascular congestion. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Patient with empyema with manipulation of pigtail catheter. Comparison is made with prior study performed a day earlier. The right pigtail catheter now is almost straight, with small distal loop. Right PICC tip is in the low SVC. There are low lung volumes. Right lower lobe opacity a combination of consolidation and pleural effusion has increased. Left lower lobe retrocardiac consolidation has worsened consistent with worsening atelectasis and/or pneumonic consolidation. There is no evident pneumothorax. Cardiac size cannot be evaluated, is obscured by the pleuroparenchymal abnormalities. Radiology Report HISTORY: Right effusion status post chest tube removal, to assess for pneumothorax. FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, the right chest tube has been removed and there is no evidence of pneumothorax. Otherwise, little change.

___ with HIV on HARRT (CD4 count of 800), HCV (failed treatment), history of IVDU on methadone, who presented with dyspnea and was found to have pneumonia and empyema. He was treated with antibiotics and had a chest tube placed. The cultures from the sputum and pleural fluid returned and he was switched to IV cefepime and PO flagyl for a 4 week course. ID will follow as an outpatient. # Pneumonia with empyema: He had hypoxemia, pneumonia and a large empyema on chest CT. He was initially started on vancomycin, cefepime, and levofloxacin. Interventional pulmonology placed a chest tube on ___. The effusion was loculated and required tPA and ___ injections. The results of the pleural effusion cultures were strep milleri species. Sputum cultures grew Beta streptococcus group C, enterobacter aerogenes, acinetobacter baumannii complex, haemophilus influenza and beta lactamase negative (see results secontion). He improved with treatment and drainage and his chest tube was pulled on ___. He was seen by infectious disease specialists who recommended a 4 week course of cefepime and flagyl. He will need to continue this until ___ (and will need to be seen by ID prior to discontinuation). A picc line was placed. He should not be discharged from rehab with the ___ as he is at risk of IVDU. After completion of his antibiotics this should be removed. At the time of discharge he was on 1L NC. # Opioid dependence: He takes 91mg of methadone per day (Habit OPAC on ___.). He was continued on methadone 90mg per day. He is at risk of abuse of the PICC. This should be removed prior to discharge. He is also getting oxycodone as needed for pain. # Chronic CO2 retention: Likely secondary to COPD or obesity hypoventilation syndrome. He has been relatively stable with NC and has not required positive pressure ventilation. This should be evaluated further after discharge. He was treated with PRN nebulizers. # Hyponatremia: He had hyponatremia. Initially he was treated with IVF with some improvement in his sodium. However, the urine lytes were suggestive of SIADH. Thus, he was put on a fluid restriction. However, the patient was unhappy with this and refused to comply. His Na was stable at 132 without treatment. Sodium should be checked a couple of times per week to make sure it is stable at rehab. # HIV: His most recent CD4 count is 875 with a viral load of 2422. He should be continued on truvada and kaletra. # Hypertension: He was continue on amlodipine BID. Blood pressures largely controlled. # Anxiety: He was continued on his clonazepam. # Constipation: he was writted for a bowel regimen # Asthma: stable, continued on inhalers.

SUMMARY: Mr. ___ is a ___ year old male who had not seen an MD in over ___ years prior to his presentation with volume overload which was eventually diagnosed as decompensated alcohol-induced cirrhosis. Patient had 48.5 lbs of fluid removed via a combination of multiple large volume paracentesis and diuretics, and further diuresis was limited by orthostasis, for which midodrine therapy was initiated. A screening EGD showed no gastro-esophageal varices. He did not display any signs of hepatic encephalopathy. He had obvious protein-energy malnutrition, for which Ensure Enlive with breakfast, lunch, and dinner was recommended. Given his elevated BNP on admission, an echocardiogram was ordered which showed an EF of 35-40% with diffuse LV dysfunction, suggesting a global cardiomyopathic process such as alcohol cardiomyopathy. Cardiology evaluated patient and deferred catheterization and recommended an outpatient ischemic/viability workup with possibily a cardiac MRI. Given his lack of elevated JVP, we tried to initiate beta blocker therapy but coreg 3.125 BID was poorly tolerated as he developed symptomatic orthostasis.

Nasogastric tube would need to be advanced 10 cm to move all the side ports into the stomach. I do not believe there is no pneumothorax, but an upright chest radiograph would be very helpful in making that determination. ___ PORTABLE ABDOMEN IMPRESSION: Gaseous distension of large bowel without definite evidence for obstruction. ___ CT TORSO WITH CONTRAST IMPRESSION: No evidence of bowel obstruction. Large bilateral pleural effusions, right greater than left, which are new from prior exam with compressive bibasilar atelectasis. Low lying ET tube at the level of the carina, requiring pull-back. Orogastric tube tip terminates within the stomach, with sideport at the GE junction and should be advanced. Ascending aortic aneurysm to 5.7 cm. Evidence of third spacing, including anasarca and periportal edema. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy, likely reactive. ___ ECG Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response. Left axis deviation. Intraventricular conduction defect. Anterior wall myocardial infarction of indeterminate age. Inferior wall myocardial infarction of indeterminate age. ___ PORTABLE ABDOMEN IMPRESSION: Ongoing gaseous distention of multiple loops of large bowel without evidence of ___ bowel obstruction. ___ CHEST (PORTABLE AP) IMPRESSION: Possible increase in size of right pleural effusion, however may be positional. No definitive evidence of loculation, however this is difficult to exclude on plain frontal radiograph. A lateral view would be helpful if the condition of the patient permits. A right lateral decubitus radiograph could demonstrate the extent of free pleural fluid. Nevertheless, to definitely determine whether there is a loculated fluid collection, CT would be necessary, especially since the appearance could be compared with the study of 1 week previously. Pulmonary edema appears unchanged. ___ CHEST (LAT DECUB ONLY) FINDINGS: A lateral decubitus right-sided view is obtained in addition to the radiograph obtained this morning. In right decubitus position, a substantial amount of pleural effusion along the chest wall increases and the component of effusion that was located in the fissure substantially decreases. Moderate cardiomegaly is unchanged. Unchanged appearance of the lung parenchyma. ___ ECG Atrial fibrillation. Non-specific intraventricular conduction delay. Poor R wave progression most likely due to conduction abnormality. However, anterior wall myocardial infarction of indeterminate age cannot be ruled out. Compared to the previous tracing of ___ the ventricular rate is now slower. Medications on Admission: The Preadmission Medication list may be inaccurate and requires futher investigation. 1.

ON ___ HISTORY: An ___ man with enlarging pleural effusion. Possible consolidation. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___, substantial worsening of both moderate-to-large bilateral pleural effusions and moderately severe pulmonary edema is evident since ___, 2:18 p.m. ET tube in standard placement. Nasogastric tube would need to be advanced 10 cm to move all the side ports into the stomach. I do not believe there is no pneumothorax, but an upright chest radiograph would be very helpful in making that determination. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with abdominal distention. Evaluate for obstruction. COMPARISON: Plain film of the abdomen dated ___ and ___ dated ___. FINDINGS: A single supine frontal view of the abdomen demonstrates ongoing gaseous distention of the large bowel without definite evidence of small bowel obstruction. There are no secondary signs of free air. There is some stool seen in the ascending colon. There is deep sulcus sign on the left, raising concern for left-sided pneumothorax. A ___ tube is see with the tip terminating in the stomach and the last side port above the GE junction.

Recommend upright frontal chest radiograph for further assessment, if clinically indicated. 3. ___ tube is see with the tip terminating in the stomach and the last side port above the GE junction. Recommend advancement of NGT by 4-6 cm. COMMENTS: These findings were discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ telephone at 3:20pm on ___, 20 minutes after their discovery. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with abdominal distention. Evaluate for obstruction. COMPARISON: Plain film of the abdomen dated ___. FINDINGS: Two supine and left lateral decubitus frontal views of the abdomen demonstrate ongoing gaseous distention of the large bowel without definite evidence of small bowel obstruction. Again seen is a nasogastric tube in the stomach, with the last side port above the GE junction. There is contrast seen throughout the colon and in the rectum. There is no pneumatosis or free air. Again seen are bilateral pleural effusions. The previously seen deep sulcus sign is no longer visible, however given technique, the left upper quadrant is not well imaged on the supine view. IMPRESSION: 1. Ongoing gaseous distention of large bowel without definite evidence of small bowel obstruction. Recommend CT of the abdomen and pelvis for further evaluation of obstruction if clinically indicated. 2. Nasogastric tube seen with tip in stomach and last side port above the GE junction. Recommend advancing NGT 4-6 cm. Radiology Report TYPE OF EXAMINATION: Chest AP portable single view. INDICATION: ___ male patient with history of small bowel obstruction, status post SBR, AVR, on Coumadin, CHF, DM, paranoid schizophrenia, transferred from nursing home with confusion/agitation and abdominal distention with unclear read of pneumothorax on chest x-ray earlier on ___. Deep sulcus sign on the left on previous abdominal film. FINDINGS: AP single view of the chest has been obtained with patient in semi-upright position. Analysis is performed in direct comparison with the next preceding similar study obtained 15 hours earlier during the same day. On the present examination, the pulmonary congestive pattern has decreased; however, hazy densities over the bases are consistent with sizable bilateral pleural effusions layering in the posterior compartments of the pleural space. The patient remains intubated, the ETT in unchanged position terminating 3 cm above the carina. Marked cardiac enlargement as before and unchanged position of previously described metallic prosthesis of porcine type. On the present image, there is no evidence of any area in the apical or upper pleural spaces which rules out any pneumothorax as the patient is examined in semi-upright position. The on previous examination suspected apical areas of linear densities in the presence of much more marked congestion are again noted and can be explained by skin folds as the patient was in close to flat supine position. Previous CT of ___ and abdominal films of ___ are also reviewed. The present chest examination rules out complicating pneumothorax. Patient's massive pleural effusion persists. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ years old man intubated/sedated. INDICATION: Is ET tube in place? Any sign of infection? TECHNIQUE: Portable chest x-ray in AP view and erect position. COMPARISON: Exam is compared to prior chest x-ray of ___. FINDINGS: NG tube and ET tube have been removed. There is a minimal improvement of lung opacification mainly for reduction of the bilateral pleural effusion more evident on the left base. Persistent atelectasis of right lower, right middle and left lower lobes. There is no pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged and still mildly enlarged; moderate aortosclerosis. IMPRESSION: All the monitoring devices have been removed. The bibasilar atelectasis with pleural effusion is minimally improved, mainly for reduced pleural effusion especially on the left base. Persistent bibasilar atelectasis with large atelectasis of the right middle lobe. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with abdominal distention. Evaluate for interval change or obstruction. COMPARISON: Multiple plain films of the abdomen dated ___. FINDINGS: Two supine frontal views of the abdomen demonstrate gaseous distention of multiple loops of large bowel without evidence of small bowel obstruction. There has been interval removal of the previously seen nasogastric tube. There are multiple skin folds seen projecting over the left upper abdomen. There is contrast in the colon and rectum. There are bilateral pleural effusions and a consolidation at the left lung base. Median sternotomy wires and an aortic valve prosthesis are seen projecting over the chest. The visualized osseous structures demonstrate moderate degenerative changes of the lumbar spine. IMPRESSION: Ongoing gaseous distention of multiple loops of large bowel without evidence of small bowel obstruction. Radiology Report CHEST ON ___ HISTORY: Abdominal distention. FINDINGS: There is moderate cardiomegaly. Prosthetic valve replacement is again visualized. There is pulmonary vascular re-distribution with perihilar haze. There are areas of volume loss and infiltrate in both lower lungs. The heart is moderately enlarged. There are bilateral pleural effusions that are moderate in size. Compared to the prior study, the fluid status is worse. Radiology Report HISTORY: Male with CHF and AFib, presenting with pneumonia status post treatment, and with bilateral pleural effusions. Assess pleural effusions. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph, ___. TECHNIQUE: Single semi-erect portable frontal chest radiograph. FINDINGS: Compared to ___, there appears to be an increase in the right pleural effusion with fluid in the minor and possibly major fissure; however, this may be related to change in positioning. No definitive sign of loculated effusion. No pneumothorax. Bilateral pulmonary edema with enlarged heart appears unchanged. Mediastinal contour appears unchanged. Prosthetic heart valve again seen in correct position. IMPRESSION: 1. Possible increase in size of right pleural effusion, however may be positional. No definitive evidence of loculation, however this is difficult to exclude on plain frontal radiograph. A lateral view would be helpful if the condition of the patient permits. A right lateral decubitus radiograph could demonstrate the extent of free pleural fluid. Nevertheless, to definitely determine whether there is a loculated fluid collection, CT would be necessary, especially since the appearance could be compared with the study of 1 week previously. 2. Pulmonary edema appears unchanged. Results were conveyed via telephone to Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ ___ on ___ at 11:30 a.m. within 10 minutes of results. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: History of chronic heart failure, treatment for pneumonia, concern for loculated pleural effusion. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: A lateral decubitus right-sided view is obtained in addition to the radiograph obtained this morning. In right decubitus position, a substantial amount of pleural effusion along the chest wall increases and the component of effusion that was located in the fissure substantially decreases. Moderate cardiomegaly is unchanged. Unchanged appearance of the lung parenchyma.

BRIEF HOSPITAL COURSE: ==================== ___ year old man with h/o CAD (s/p 2 x stents to RCA and LCX in ___ and recurrent CP in ___ with moderate CAD noted throughout and mod single vessel disease of LAD) and heavy tobacco use who presented w/ chest pain concerning for ACS ACTIVE ISSUES ==================== 1. CHEST PAIN Given his known hx of CAD, pt's severe chest pain on admission was concerning for unstable angina. Though his EKG did not show any clear e/o ischemia and his cardiac biomarkers were negative, he was treated empirically for ACS w/ ASA, Atorvastatin 80 and Fondaparinux. Aortic Dissection was considered given the "tearing quality" of his chest pain but his mediastinum was not widened on CXR, and his vital signs remained stable. Chest pain was initially treated with IV dilaudid and a nitroglycerin drip, but pt became hypotensive requiring IVF, so the nitroglycerin was discontinued, and further pain control was achieved with IV Dilaudid alone. Notably, pain relented soon after being transferred to the medicine ward. Given his hx of extensive CAD, he was continued on Fondaparinux anticoagulation pending cardiac catheterization, which revealed stable coronary artery disease, not requiring percutaneous coronary intervention, and no e/o vasospasm. LAD with proximal tubular 40% stenosis; mid-LAD 50% lesion between S1/D1 and S2/D2; first diagonal with 50% lesion proximally; 45% stenosis proximally in the long modest caliber fourth obtuse marginal; patent stent in the major fifth obtuse marginal/LPL; RCA with 20% proximal stenosis and 20% distal stenosis; PDA with diffuse plaquing to 40%. Given concern for aortic dissection he had supravalvular aortography done in the catheterization lab which did not show any e/o dissection. Initiation of isosorbide mononitrate or caclium channel blocker was considered, but his blood pressure (90s-100s systolic) did not permit during this admission. Since the findings on cardiac catheterization did not require any intervention, he was informed of the importance of managing his risk factors for CAD. Specifically, the team spent much time with the pt educating him regarding the risks of smoking, and potential methods for quitting. He was discharged chest pain-free in stable condition, w/ appropriate follow up appointments. He was instructed to continue Aspirin 81mg daily.

Mr. ___ is a ___ year-old gentleman with HFpEF, CKD, AF on warfarin, s/p PPM for sick sinus who presented with dyspnea on exertion and significant edema consistent with a diastolic HF exacerbation, with concern for recurrent atrial fibrillation as precipitating factor. #Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: LVEF = 50%. Unclear precipitant given non-ischemic EKG with TnT elevation in proportion to renal dysfunction and no history of medication non-compliance or dietary indiscretion. Pt in atrial fibrillation, possibly contributing to exacerbation, though his rates were generally in the ___ to 110s. On admission he was significantly volume overloaded with 3+ pitting edema to thighs and sacrum. Admission weight was 86.9 kg compared to discharge weight of 88.2 on ___ (although the latter likely did NOT represent his true dry weight). He was started on lasix gtt upon admission and titrated up to 20 mg/h. He was resistant to diuresis and dobutamine gtt 2.5 was added on ___. With inotropic support he diuresed effectively. Patient was cardioverted x2 from AF into NSR (see below). A pyrophosphate scan performed on ___ to r/o amyloidosis as the etiology of his heart failure but this was negative. Given his mod-severe TR and MR on prior TTE (___), and the need for dobutamine to diurese, a right heart cath (___) was performed to evaluate for RV dysfunction and the possibility of high output heart failure in the setting of a known right femoral AV fistula (iatrogenic from prior caths at that site). The RHC revealed normal right and left heart filling pressures and normal cardiac output (no evidence of high output state). The patient was successfully weaned off dobutamine following the cessation of Lasix and cardioversion. He was transitioned to torsemide 40mg BID and remained euvolemic on PO diuretics at discharge. Admission weight: 86.9 kg Discharge weight: 66.3 kg #Atrial fibrillation with normal ventricular rates: HRs ___ in the hospital, and pt was asymptomatic. Pt previously on dofetilide but this was discontinued prior to admission ___ renal failure. He was admitted on carvedilol but beta blockers were discontinued during this admission for hypotension. INR was therapeutic at 2.3 on admission. He was placed on heparin gtt for better anticoagulation control in preparation for cardioversion and cath, and then bridged back to warfarin, again with a therapeutic INR on discharge. The patient was amiodarone loaded and then cardioverted on ___. He maintained NSR for several days but then on ___ he had recurrence of his atrial fibrillation. He was continued on Amiodarone 200 mg PO/NG DAILY and re-cardioverted on ___. At time of this second cardioversion his rhythm pre-shock was actually atrial flutter with 2:1 block (rather than atrial fibrillation). Post-shock on ___ he, again, was in normal sinus rhythm. EP recommended continuing amiodarone 200mg PO qday (no change in anti-arrhythmic therapy). Discharged on a warfarin dose of 7.5mg daily with an INR of 2.8. He monitors his own INR at home and calls in the results to his PCP who manages his warfarin dosing. #Valvulopathies: moderate to severe MR and TR noted on TTE in ___ in the setting of significant volume overload. It is less likely this represents a primary structural event but rather was secondary to dilation of the valvular rings while overloaded given the normal filling pressures observed on right heart cath when dry. A follow-up TTE while dry could be performed as an outpatient if warranted. #Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 4: Pt was on dialysis through ___ and ___ subsequent to an episode of ATN precipitated by volume overload after L shoulder arthropathy. His last HD was ___ and the HD line was removed ___. as it was no longer needed. He was able to diurese effectively on lasix gtt with inotropic support and then on PO diuretic after the dobutamine was discontinued. Cr prior to shoulder surgery and ATN was 0.9-1.1, Cr in house ranged from 2.5-3.2, with most values prior to discharge between 2.8 and 3.2. His renal function changed little during diuresis, with his Cr hovering around 3, and this likely represents a new baseline for him. He will follow up with nephrology as an outpatient for ongoing management. CHRONIC ISSUES: ================ # Coronary artery disease s/p CABG: No chest discomfort or angina equivalent was noted with no ischemic changes seen on EKG. TnT elevation in proportion with renal dysfunction. Pt was transitioned to rosuvastatin 20mg PO QPM and continued on aspirin 81 mg daily. All beta blockers were discontinued ___ hypotension and not needed for rate control (nor for heart failure since he has preserved EF). # Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, controlled: Recent A1c 6.8%, and patient has stopped using glargine--uses a carbohydrate scale at home. Humalog sliding scale while in hospital and at discharge. # Macrocytic anemia/Thrombocytopenia: Chronic, followed by Dr. ___. Platelets are lower than usual without use of antibiotics, previously thought to be the culprit. SPEP was normal in ___. He had gastric bypass in ___ with resulting iron and B12 def and is on monthly B12 injections. Retic 2.7. Normal B12, folate, LDH, hapto. Light chains assay w/ high free kappa and lambda but with normal K:L ratio. TSH normal. MMA wnl. ___ recommended the initiation of EPO for Hgb < 9, which may be started as an outpatient. The patient will follow-up with Dr. ___ discharge. # GERD: Pt was continued on pantoprazole

However, a fourth left parathyroid gland could not be identified on current study. A follow-up sestamibi parathyroid or 4D CT scan may be considered to search for a fourth left parathyroid gland. RECOMMENDATION(S): The follow up sestamibi parathyroid or 4D CT scan may be considered search for a fourth left parathyroid gland. 4D CT Parathyroid ___: The 2 small nodules identified on ultrasound at the lower poles bilaterally are not really confirmed on the 4DCT. In addition, the more superior nodule is demonstrated as a low-density defect within the enhancing thyroid rather than hyperenhancing nodule. In addition, although it is possible that this is an extrathyroidal nodule invaginating into the thyroid tissue, it could be actually intrathyroidal (subcapsular). Review of the ultrasound does tend to suggest that the 3 lesions suspicious for parathyroid gland enlargement. The lower pole nodules could represent small lymph nodes on the bases are non enhancement. As discussed with Dr. ___, there is no evidence to suggest an unusual ectopic parathyroid adenoma, either undescended or within the mediastinum. As result, a 4 gland exploration may be warranted. Medications on Admission: None Discharge Medications: 1. Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO Q6H 2. Ibuprofen 600 mg PO Q8H:PRN pain Please take with water and food Discharge Disposition: Home Discharge Diagnosis: -Hypercalcemia -Primary hyperparathyroidism Discharge Condition: Alert and oriented x3, cohesive Ambulating per baseline Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: History: ___ with cough// r/o infiltrate TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Heart size is normal. The mediastinal and hilar contours are normal. The pulmonary vasculature is normal. Lungs are clear. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. There are no acute osseous abnormalities. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: PARATHYROID US INDICATION: ___ year old woman with primary hyperparathyroidism on labs// evaluation for enlarged parathyroid gland TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the neck were obtained. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: The right lobe measures: (transverse) 1.9 x (anterior-posterior) 1.5 x (craniocaudal) 4.9 cm. The left lobe measures: (transverse) 1.7 x (anterior-posterior) 1.6 x (craniocaudal) 4.4 cm. Isthmus anterior-posterior diameter is 0.2 cm. The thyroid parenchyma is homogenous and has normal vascularity. Posterior to the mid thyroid lobe is a well-circumscribed homogeneous hypoechoic structure with internal vascularity measuring 1.4 x 0.5 x 1.2 cm consistent with an enlarged parathyroid gland. Caudal to the lower pole right thyroid lobe is a well-circumscribed hypoechoic structure measuring 0.5 x 0.4 x 0.6 cm, also consistent with an enlarged parathyroid gland. Caudal to the lower pole left thyroid lobe is a well-circumscribed hypoechoic structure measuring 0.8 x 0.3 x 0.7 cm, again consistent with an enlarged parathyroid gland. Anterior to the left parathyroid gland is a well-circumscribed hyperechoic lesion which likely represents the fatty lymph node. IMPRESSION: The three visualized) is 2 right, 1 left) parathyroid glands demonstrate enlargement, consistent with parathyroid hyperplasia. However, a fourth left parathyroid gland could not be identified on current study. A follow-up sestamibi parathyroid or 4D CT scan may be considered to search for a fourth left parathyroid gland. RECOMMENDATION(S): The follow up sestamibi parathyroid or 4D CT scan may be considered search for a fourth left parathyroid gland. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: 4DCT NECK W AND W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hypercalcemia, elevated PTH.// ?Parathyroid adenoma (4D CT/parathyroid CT) TECHNIQUE: With the patient supine in the CT scanner, initial axial scans were obtained through the level of the thyroid without contrast. Following this, a bolus of 100 cc of contrast and 4 cc/second was administered into a patent vein in the antecubital fossa in the right arm. Rapid sequence scans were then obtained from the skullbase through the level just below the carina at 30 and 60 seconds following initiation of the injection. Coronal and sagittal reconstructions were performed. DOSE: DLP: 337.08 mGy-cm; CTDI: 20 mGy COMPARISON: Parathyroid ultrasound obtained ___ FINDINGS: No significant cervical masses or adenopathy appreciated. The anterior mediastinum demonstrates moderate amount of residual thymic tissue. The visualized upper lung fields are unremarkable. The bony structures the difficult to assess this young patient but may demonstrate slight demineralization. This CT examination is compared with the recent ultrasound. The 2 hypoechoic nodules below the lower poles bilaterally, suspicious for parathyroid adenomas on the ultrasound, are not really confirmed is hyperenhancing nodules on the 4DCT. Interestingly, the nodule in the posterior medial aspect of the right thyroid lobe, in the mid to upper portion is demonstrated as a low-density defect within the enhancing thyroid tissue. This would also be atypical for a parathyroid adenoma which should enhance as bright if not brighter than the thyroid and washout. At the left upper pole, there is extension of tissue into the retroesophageal region. However, both from the density on the noncontrast scan and the appearance on the enhanced scans, this likely represents an extension of thyroid tissue and not a separate parathyroid. IMPRESSION: 1. Incidental findings as indicated above. 2. The 2 small nodules identified on ultrasound at the lower poles bilaterally are not really confirmed on the 4DCT. In addition, the more superior nodule is demonstrated as a low-density defect within the enhancing thyroid rather than hyperenhancing nodule. In addition, although it is possible that this is an extrathyroidal nodule invaginating into the thyroid tissue, it could be actually intrathyroidal (subcapsular). Review of the ultrasound does tend to suggest that the 3 lesions suspicious for parathyroid gland enlargement. The lower pole nodules could represent small lymph nodes on the bases are non enhancement. As discussed with Dr. ___, there is no evidence to suggest an unusual ectopic parathyroid adenoma, either undescended or within the mediastinum. As result, a 4 gland exploration may be warranted.

Loss of gray-white differentiation in the left MCA territory with dense MCA is consistent with acute infarct. Encephalomalacia consistent with small old right occipital infarct. CTA (___): Tortuous neck vessels with mild atherosclerotic calcification at the carotid bulbs. The right ICA and bilateral vertebral arteries are unremarkable. There is progressive hypoenhancement of the left internal carotid artery beginning in the distal neck with haziness of the periphery of the vessel. The left ICA within the skullbase is minimally opacified consistent with occlusion or markedly slow flow. The anterior communicating artery fills the left ACA via collateral flow from the right anterior circulation. There is slight retrograde filling of the left A1 segment. The left MCA is minimally opacified, if at all, over a 2.5-3 cm course with unchanged collateral flow arising from both from the anterior and posterior communicating arteries with reconstitution of many vessels in the distal MCA territory. The remainder of the intracranial vessels are unremarkable without aneurysm greater than 2 mm, stenosis or occlusion. The imaged dural venous sinuses appear patent. Enlargement of the pulmonary arteries suggest pulmonary arterial hypertension. Collapse of the posterior wall of the trachea and proximal bronchi suggests tracheobronchomalacia. Septal thickening in the lung apices with ground-glass changes reflects mild pulmonary edema. CTP (___): While perfusion map is limited due to patient motion and respiration during the examination there is nonetheless an area of decreased blood volume and blood flow with increased mean transit time corresponding to infarct of the left MCA territory. NECT (___): Persistent occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery and its distal branches. Expected progression of the large left middle cerebral artery infarction, without significant mass effect at this time. No evidence for hemorrhagic transformation. CT Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis w/ ___: 1.

CT perfusion with contrast. HISTORY: Stroke. COMPARISON: CT performed earlier in the day. FINDINGS: There is abnormal perfusion in the left frontal and parietal lobe in an anterior distribution compatible with acute ischemia. There appears to be enlarged perfusion defect. On the CTA of the circle of ___, there is occlusion of the left MCA as well as lack of flow in the distal cervical and petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid ICA. There is mild to moderate stenosis ( < 50%)at the origin of the left ICA from a calcified plaque. Mild stenosis at the origin of the right ICA. Mild calcification at origin of both vertebral arteries. There is heavy calcification at the aortic arch. There is calcification at the origin of the left subclavian artery. There is heterogeneous appearance to the thyroid lobe on the right. There is a pleural effusion in the right lung. There is large pulmonary artery. There is enlarged right facial vein.There are prominent mediastinal nodes. IMPRESSION: Occlusion of the left distal cervical and intracranial ICA as well as the left MCA. Left MCA acute infarct. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: MCA stroke and pneumonia. Comparison is made with prior study performed the same day earlier. Severe cardiomegaly is stable. Enlarged pulmonary arteries are again noted. Right lower lobe consolidation is less dense than before. Moderate pulmonary edema has worsened. There is no pneumothorax or enlarging pleural effusions. Radiology Report NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT, ___ INDICATION: Left middle cerebral artery infarct and left internal carotid artery stenosis. Assess infarct. COMPARISON: ___ at 1 a.m. and at 2:54 a.m. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT. FINDINGS: There is cytotoxic edema in the left middle cerebral artery territory involving the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes, as well as the insula, more extensive than what was visualized on the earlier non-contrast head CTs, but corresponding to extent of the mean transit time and cerebral blood volume abnormalities on the preceding CT perfusion study. The left middle cerebral artery and its sylvian branches remain dense, indicating persistent occlusion. Allowing for multiple foci of density in the distal left MCA branches, there is no evidence for hemorrhagic transformation within the infarction. There is no significant mass effect at this time. The right lateral ventricle is larger than the left, but this is unchanged from the earlier study, suggesting that this is a congenital or developmental finding. There is no shift of midline structures. A small chronic right frontal opercular infarct and a moderate chronic right occipital infarct are again noted. There is mild mucosal thickening in the left maxillary and sphenoidal sinuses. The right frontal sinus is not pneumatized. Mastoid air cells are well aerated. IMPRESSION: Persistent occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery and its distal branches. Expected progression of the large left middle cerebral artery infarction, without significant mass effect at this time. No evidence for hemorrhagic transformation. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Shortness of breath. Followup opacities in the right lower lobe. Comparison is made with prior study performed a day earlier. Moderate-to-severe cardiomegaly is stable. Right lower lobe consolidation consistent with pneumonia is unchanged. Enlarged pulmonary arteries are again noted. Component of pulmonary edema has markedly improved. There is no pneumothorax or increasing effusions. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Shortness of breath. Comparison is made with prior study performed 12 hours earlier. Pulmonary edema has improved. Right lower lobe opacity has improved due to improvement of the component of atelectasis. Right lower lobe pneumonia is still suspected. Right pleural effusion has improved. Cardiomegaly and widened mediastinum are stable. There is no pneumothorax or large left effusion. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with MCA stroke, new Dobbhoff placement. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph obtained the same day earlier at 11:30 a.m. The Dobbhoff tube is coiled in the oropharynx with its tip being in the distal esophagus. Cardiomegaly is unchanged as well as bilateral hilar enlargement. No pneumothorax is seen. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with MCA stroke after Dobbhoff placement. AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to ___. The NG tube is coiled within the esophagus and should be re-positioned. There are two radiographs obtained demonstrating overall similar appearance of the coiled NG tube. Bilateral pleural effusions, cardiomegaly and tortuous aorta are re-demonstrated. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Assessment of the upper thoracic air-containing abnormality seen on the prior radiograph. AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to prior study obtained at 5:50 p.m. on the same day. The NG tube has been removed. There is cardiomegaly, vascular engorgement, bilateral pleural effusions and potentially bibasal atelectasis. The prior study was obtained on an abnormal angle that the appearance of the esophagus might be increasing concerns. On the current study, no definitive abnormal air collection is demonstrated. If clinically warranted, correlation with CT of the chest might be considered. Radiology Report MR OF THE BRAIN WITHOUT CONTRAST DATED ___. HISTORY: ___ female with new left MCA stroke. TECHNIQUE: Routine ___ non-enhanced MR examination was performed. FINDINGS: The study is compared with the NECT and CTA, both dated ___, corresponding to the findings on those studies. There is a large region of slow diffusion with corresponding hypointensity on the ADC map and T2-/FLAIR hyperintensity, representing "early subacute" infarction involving virtually the entirety of the left MCA territory. While those studies demonstrated no abnormal hyperdensity to suggest hemorrhagic transformation, there is now a very large rounded focus of "blooming" susceptibility artifact measuring up to 4.1 cm (AP) x 0.3 cm (TRV) involving the deep gray and white matters, representing relatively hyperacute hemorrhage involving the deep gray and white matter structures. There is a substantial intraventricular component, with layering blood products in the bilateral lateral ventricular horns, left more than right. There is also a small hemorrhagic component in the overlying subarachnoid space. This process is associated with substantial subfalcine herniation with 8 mm rightward shift of the septum pellucidum, effacement of the body of the left lateral ventricle. The basal cisterns are maintained with no evidence of uncal or downward transtentorial herniation. The flow voids of the remaining principal vessels of the circle of ___ are preserved, and there is no evidence of acute infarction in the additional vascular territory. Again demonstrated is cystic encephalomalacia with surrounding gliosis and volume loss involving the right frontal opercular region and the right occipital pole, as before, representing regions of more remote infarction. IMPRESSION: 1. Evolving extensive "early subacute" infarction involving the entirety of the left middle cerebral arterial territory. 2. Evidence of extensive hemorrhagic conversion involving the deep gray and white matter structures within this territory; there is an intraventricular hemorrhagic component. 3. Associated subfalcine herniation, new since the most recent CT examination. COMMENT: Discussed with Dr. ___, via telephone, at ___, ___, the time of study interpretation.

Evaluate for interval change/progression. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without the administration of IV contrast. Reformatted coronal and sagittal and thin section bone algorithm-reconstructed images were acquired. DLP: 1025.72 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: MR ___ from ___ and NECT head from ___. FINDINGS: The extent of the left MCA infarct appears similar to MR from ___. The hemorrhagic conversion involving the deep gray and white matter structures within this territory, layering blood within the occipital horns of the bilateral lateral ventricles, and the small hemorrhagic component within the overlying subarachnoid space, are unchanged. The mass effect with effacement of the sulci and left lateral ventricle and shift of midline structures to the right are also unchanged. There is no new hemorrhage or infarct. The basal cisterns remain patent. There is also unchanged right occipital lobe encephalomalacia, likely related to an old infarct. No fracture is identified. There is increased mucosal thickening within the left sphenoid sinus. The globes are unremarkable.

INDICATION: History: ___ with AMS // r/o PNA TECHNIQUE: SINGLE, AP, PORTABLE VIEW OF THE CHEST. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: Minimal bibasilar atelectasis is present. There is no evidence of focal consolidation, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or frank pulmonary edema. A right hilar opacity is likely exaggerated secondary to patient rotation and overlap with the mediastinum. The cardiac silhouette is within normal limits. The descending thoracic aorta is noted to be somewhat tortuous. A chronic, left humeral fracture is incidentally noted. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT ___ W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ with L1 compression fx // Please further eval for bony lesions in lower spine TECHNIQUE: Ataxial, helical, MDCT images were acquired through the lumbar spine without the administration of intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and bone algorithm thin section reformatted images were generated. DOSE: CTDIvol: 32.05 mGy DLP: 916.38 mGy-cm COMPARISON: MR ___ dated ___. FINDINGS: There is a severe compression fracture of the L1 vertebral body with nearly complete loss of vertebral body height. There is osseous extension posteriorly into the canal, likely due to a combination of retropulsed fragmentation and posterior osteophytosis, contacting the cord and causing moderate-severe canal narrowing at this level (2:23). Additionally, there is a comminuted fracture involving the superior endplate of the L2 vertebral body without significant bony retropulsion. Moderate-severe, multilevel degenerative changes are also seen throughout the lumbar spine, most significant at the level of L4-L5 with a large posterior disc-osteophyte complex, bilateral facet hypertrophy, and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy resulting in severe spinal canal and bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. IMPRESSION: 1. Near complete compression fracture of the L1 vertebral body with a combination of posterior osteophytosis and bony retropulsion into the canal at this level, causing moderate-severe canal narrowing. 2. Comminuted fracture of the superior endplate of the L2 vertebral body. 3. Moderate-severe multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, most significant at L4-5 with severe spinal canal and bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: History: ___ with AMS // r/o head bleed TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without the administration of IV contrast.

Per family patient lives alone and has been falling frequently lately. Pt did not seek care immediately, likely due to baseline cognitive dysfunction. Pt initially sought care at ___ for symptoms of bowel and bladder incontinence. She was transferred to ___ given concern for cord compression. Initial exam did not reveal any acute neurological changes. MRI here revealed acute on chronic L1 compression fracture without evidence of compression of cord to explain her symptoms. Pt has history of osteopenia, which likely predisposed her to fracture. She was evaluated by the Orthopedic Spine team, who recommended non-operative management. She was fitted with a Jewitt brace for spine stabilization to wear with ambulation. She was evaluated by ___ and OT, who recommended SNF for further recovery. If medication is needed for pain prefer tylenol given AMS likely caused by narcotic pain medication. Pt will need to follow up with Ortho Spine clinic ___ weeks after discharge. Vitamin D and multivitamin should be continued. # Toxic metabolic encephalopathy: Pt's family reports progressive cognitive decline over the past year. She continues to lives alone, however has had several recent falls as above. Initial exam after admission to medicine was consistent with acute delirium given lack of orientation, attention and concentration. Her symptoms were most likely caused by narcotic pain medication given urine tox positive for opiates and/or hospital setting on baseline dementia. Infectious work-up negative. CT head revealed no acute intracranial abnormality. She was found to be Vitamin B12 deficit, however this is not likely to explain the acute change. TSH was normal. She required Zyprexa in ED and additional 5mg PO on AM of ___ for agitation, none thereafter. Over the next several days pt's mental status gradually cleared. Prior to discharge she was alert and oriented x 3 and able to form concentration tasks, per family approaching her baseline. Will need to continue environmental measures to reduce delirium, especially while at ___, and continue vitamin B12 supplementation. # Candidal intertrigo: Rash noted in right groin area during admission. It was not itchy, painful or otherwise bothersome to patient. She was started on nystatin cream with some improvement prior to discharge. She should continue a 2 week course. To prevent infection from recurring, make sure to pat area dry after showers. # Bowel/bladder incontinence: Resolved. Reported by pt over several days prior to admission to ___. Initial evaluation in ED revealed normal rectal tone. MRI was negative for acute cord compression as above. Pt voided urine spontaneously and had normal bowel movements during admission without incontinence. # Hypercalcemia: Noted to have elevated Ca to 10.6 on ___ that quickly returned to normal. Albumin and PTH were normal. Encouraged PO intake, likely dry. # HTN: Remained well-controlled. Home lisinopril was continued. # CKD: Cr stable at 1.0-1.1. CKD stage III per records, likely due to chronic HTN. Medications were renally dosed. # Glaucoma: Continued home eyedrops. # Primary prevention CAD: Continue home ASA 81mg.

Ms. ___ is a ___ year old woman with hx of Rheumatoid Arthritis and HTN who presented with abdominal and bilateral flank pain of 8 days duration, with no other GI symptoms apart from her progressively worsening pain. In summary, she had a negative CT on ___ and workup was otherwise negative. She continues to have a chronic left otitis, for which ENT follow up is recommended. # Flank/Back Pain/Abdominal Pain: Pt had normal lipase, LFTs, clean UA, negative urine cultures and legionella antigen, negative blood cultures, no leukocytosis; as such, UTI/pyelo or other infection as well pancreatitis both seemed unlikely. Her CT showed no evidence of compression fracture. Her pain was unchanged throughout her admission; she took acetaminophen and reported some small pain relief, but refused any narcotic pain medication. . # Wheezing: Pt had some wheezing on admission, with no SOB or respiratory distress, adequate O2 sat, and normal resp rate. She received an albuterol nebulizer treatment on ___, and had resolution of her wheezing. Her lungs were clear at the time of discharge on ___. . # L ear discharge: The presentation of the ear is concerning for otitis media or externa; unable to adequately visualize TM due to purulent discharge. As such, perforated TM could not be ruled out, which led team to hold off on antibiotic drops. This otitis is likely chronic and was seen by her PCP, who obtained a cx sample on ___ (grew S aureus). It is unclear where exactly this sample was obtained from. Pt was discussed with ENT, who felt that pt should be seen for outpatient f/u for repeat culture from within ear canal and appropriate therapy. . # Social: Patient was seen by SW to follow up on issues that came up, including that her husband is her sole caretaker but also works; therefore, the patient spends the majority of her time alone. She pays for some private home help. Patient also reports verbal abuse, but denies phsyical abuse from husband. ___ provided support and also contacted Ethos Elder Services on her behalf given her isolation, to discuss further resource availability. . # Psych: Psychiatry was consulted given the patient's numerous psychosocial stressors and question of difficulty coping and safety going home, as well as some mention in previous PCP notes about pt seeing demons. Psychiatry corraborated some possible delusional aspect to her thinking as well as prominent mood symptoms (though the patient firmly opposed the label of depression), but psychiatry felt that her primary treatment concerned her underlying delusional disorder with psychotic symptoms. They recommended some additional laboratory workup that is detailed elsewhere for possible organic causes of her symptoms(negative RPR); brain MRI was not obtained. Pt declined any treatment for mood symptoms. . # Hyponatremia: Pt's Na was 125 on presentation, but resolved overnight with NS and remained normal throughout her admission. Previous treatment with bactrim may have contributed to her hyponatremia, though this is unclear. . # HTN - Patient was continued on her home amlodipine 5 mg with good effect. . # Rheumatoid Arthritis: Patient is not currently on and has never taken DMARDS, and does not like to take muliple medications at home. She refused pain medication stronger than acetaminophen, which she reported provided only a small amount of pain relief. . . . 1. Left-sided otitis: for ENT follow up. 2. Patient will go to rehab following discharge to receive physical therapy.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: Shortness of breath and dyspnea on exertion. History of alpha 1 antitrypsin disease. TECHNIQUE: Frontal and lateral views of the chest. COMPARISON: Multiple prior radiographs, most recently ___. Chest CT of ___. FINDINGS: Heterogeneous opacities overlying the left mid lung field and silhouetting the left heart border are increased since ___. The patient is status post left lower lobectomy for volume reduction with stable mild leftward shift of the mediastinum. Blunting of the left costophrenic angle is compatible with a small pleural effusion. The right lung is grossly clear. No pneumothorax. The heart size appears normal. No radiopaque foreign body. IMPRESSION: Increased lingular and left lower lung opacities, compatible with worsened infection since ___. Small left pleural effusion. Radiology Report INDICATION: Severe COPD with known alpha-1 antitrypsin disorder. Worsening dyspnea and hypoxia. COMPARISONS: Chest CT, ___. CT Chest, ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the chest after the administration of IV contrast. Sagittal, coronal, and thin-slice images were obtained and reviewed. FINDINGS: The thyroid is unremarkable. There is no supraclavicular or axillary lymphadenopathy. Gynecomastia is noted bilaterally. Small mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes are not significantly changed from the prior exam and likely reactive. The largest is in the left hila and measures 15 mm in short axis (4, 107). There are no new lymph nodes. The heart is unremarkable. There is no pericardial effusion. Atherosclerotic disease is noted in the coronary arteries. Although this exam is not timed for detection of pulmonary embolism, there is no large filling defect in the main or segmental pulmonary arteries. The airways are patent to the subsegmental levels. There are no filling defects or bronchial masses. There is severe pan-lobular emphysema, most prominent in the right lower lobe, but not significantly changed from the prior exam. The patient is status post left lower lobe lobectomy. Since the prior exam, the areas of ill-defined bronchiolar ground-glass and alveolar opacities in the residual lingula and left upper lobe have worsened. There are also areas of denser consolidation, particularly anteriorly (4, 141). This is most concerning for an infectious process. No areas of large mucus impaction are noted. There is no bronchiectasis. Multiple pleural-based nodules are not significantly changed from the prior exam. Two pleural-based nodules in the right lower lobe are stable. One measures 6 mm and one measures 7 mm (4, 48 and 167). A smaller subpleural nodule in the right middle lobe is stable (4, 93). Finally, the previously seen tiny nodule in the left upper lobe is not well evaluated on today's exam due to the surrounding ground-glass opacification. No new nodules are identified. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The exam was not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation. Within this limitation, the visualized portions of the liver, spleen, adrenal glands, and kidneys are unremarkable. There are no suspicious lytic or sclerotic bony lesions. There are no significant degenerative changes. IMPRESSION: 1. Increasing consolidation and ground-glass opacification in the residual left lingula and left upper lobe. This is most concerning for a worsening infectious process. 2. Stable mildly enlarged left hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes are likely reactive. 3. Stable severe pan-lobular emphysema. 4. Multiple stable pulmonary nodules. These are unchanged dating to ___. Radiology Report INDICATION: PICC line placement. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to radiograph of the chest from ___. FINDINGS: Frontal radiograph of the chest demonstrates right PICC with distal tip terminating in the upper SVC. The previously seen left lingular and lower lobe opacities are more prominent on this study, however this is likely secondary to decreased lung volumes compared to the prior exam. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable. The remainder of the study is unchanged from the prior. IMPRESSION: Right PICC terminating in upper SVC. Left lingular and lower lobe opacification more prominent on this exam due to lower lung volumes compared to prior. Otherwise, stable chest radiograph.

___ with history of severe COPD who was treated for bacterial pneumonia one month ago with levofloxacin and PO steroids, sent to the ED from pulmonary clinic with worsening cough, dyspnea, and exertional hypoxia over the past month. HOSPITAL COURSE BY PROBLEM #. Dyspnea, cough, and hypoxia. Given his risk factors of older age, severe obstructive disease, and failure of recent antimicrobial therapy, the patient was started on vancomycin and cefepime for pneumonia. PE was felt to be less likely given that the patient had no other signs or symptoms suggesting this (no chest pain, not tachycardia, no history of immobilization, Wells score of zero). A chest CT was obtained which showed increasing consolidation in the lingula and left upper lobe compared to prior CT, concerning for a worsening infection. The patient was continued on his home impratroprium and albuterol nebulizers. A cardiac etiology of his dyspnea was thought to be less likely given that he had no cardiac history, did not appear volume overloaded on exam, and recent normal LV and RV function on TTE from ___. His EKG on arrival was negative for acute ischemic changes, though troponin in ED slightly elevated to 0.02. His subsequent cardiac markers were negative and an AM EKG showed no acute changes. A urine legionella antigen was obtained and found to be negative. Beta-glucan and galactomannan were also checked and were found to be negative. Alpha-1 antitrypsin levels were also checked and were also pending at the time of discharge. The inpatient pulmonology team was consulted and recommended that he be discharged on IV vancomycin and cefepime and that he begin taking fluticasone with a spacer. The patient was discharged on IV vancomycin and cefepime; follow-up with his outpatient pulmonologist was being arranged by Dr. ___. #. Elevated troponin. The patient's troponin was elevated in the ED to 0.02, which was attributed to a hemolyzed specimen. His EKG showed no acute ischemic changes, and his cardiac markers were cycled and found to be negative x2. He was placed on telemetry overnight, which was discontinued the morning after a morning EKG showed no acute ischemic changes. The patient denied any chest pain throughout his admission. #Creatinine bump. On day four of his admission, the patient's serum creatinine bumped from 1.1 to 1.4. Urine electrolytes were consistent with an intrinsic renal process, likely contrast-induced (as he received a chest CT with contrast) vs. antibiotic-induced. The patient's AM and ___ doses of vancomycin were held for one day. His serum creatinine was monitored and remained stably elevated on the day of discharge. Upon discharge, the patient will have a serum creatinine check along with Vancomcyin trough checked upon discharge by ___ services; patient was provided with presciption for outpatient lab check. #. Hyperkalemia. On admission the patient was found to be hyperkalemic, withou acute EKG changes. An AM K was checked and found to be within normal limits. #. Hyponatremia Mild, asymptomatic. Thought to be secondary to poor PO intake versus SIADH in light of the patient's history of lung disease. Urine electrolytes were checked and found to be consistent with SIADH. The patient was initially fluid restricted; however this was discontinued per the patient's request. His sodium was trended and his hyponatremia resolved. #. Urinary symptoms: Patient with PSA of 9 as an outpatient; he is awaiting Urology follow-up at ___. Tamsulosin was started. Patient tolerated this well, denying symptoms of orthostatics. The patient was provided with prescription for this medication and encouraged to follow-up with Urology as an outpatient as per plan prior to admission. Transition of care issues: - follow-up alpha 1 antitripsin level (pending at time of discharge) - continuation of IV antiboitics through ___ line - outpatient pulmonology follow-up

Intravenous contrast was not administered. Axial images reconstructed with soft tissue and bone algorithm to display images with 1.25 mm slice. Coronal and sagittal reformations were also constructed. All produced images were evaluated in production of this report. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 2.3 s, 15.0 cm; CTDIvol = 35.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 515.4 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 515 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Reference made to the prior CT orbits dated ___ from outside facility. FINDINGS: There is extensive swelling involving the soft tissues of the left orbit extending superiorly over the left frontal bone. This orbital soft tissue swelling is in a preseptal distribution. The left retrobulbar fat appears normal without evidence of stranding. The left globe, extraocular muscles and optic nerve are within normal limits. In comparison to the prior CT dated ___, the degree of left preseptal swelling appears reduced. The right globe, extraocular muscles, optic nerves and retrobulbar fat are within normal limits. The partially visualized upper aerodigestive tract is within normal limits. The mandible and temporomandibular joints are within normal limits. There is extensive thickening of the anterior ethmoidal air cells and frontal sinuses. There is mucosal thickening involving the right greater than left maxillary sinuses. Trace thickening is noted in the sphenoid sinus. The partially visualized mastoid air cells appear clear. There is no evidence of fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. Preseptal soft tissue swelling and edema of the medial and lateral left orbit. The appearance appears somewhat improved in comparison to the prior exam. However, post-septal orbital cellulitis remains a clinical diagnosis. 2. Paranasal sinus disease as described above.

ANESTHESIA: 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: Lidocaine CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 0.23 min, 234 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Single lumen PICC placement PROCEDURE DETAILS: Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. A peel-away sheath was then placed over a guidewire. The guidewire was then advanced into the superior vena cava using fluoroscopic guidance. A PIC line was then placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the distal SVC under fluoroscopic guidance. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a fluoroscopic spot film of the chest. The peel-away sheath and guidewire were then removed. The catheter was secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate complications. FINDINGS: 1. The accessed vein was patent and compressible. 2. Brachialvein approach single lumen PICC with tip in the distal SVC.

SUMMARY =============== ___ male with a history of GERD, peptic ulcer s/p vagotomy, and sigmoid lipoma s/p partial sigmoid colectomy (___) who presented with fevers and abdominal pain with features of enterocolitis noted on imaging. He was started on ciprofloxacin and flagyl with improvement in his symptoms. He was seen by gastroenterology, who recommended outpatient colonoscopy for further follow up. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES ===================== [] At time of discharge, patient did not have an outpatient colonoscopy scheduled but had been ordered. Please confirm with patient that this has been scheduled for the next few weeks after he completes course of antibiotics. [] Patient with " Marked wall thickening of the terminal ileum in very distal ileum and wall thickening to a lesser extent involving the cecum and proximal ascending colon. 5 x 4.0 cm region of likely phlegmon superior to the thickened terminal ileum." found on CT A/P. Recommend that patient has a follow up CT or colonoscopy once the acute process resides to ensure resolution and exclude underlying mass. [] Patient discharged on ciprofloxacin and flagyl for a 10 day course scheduled to end ___. [] Patient found to be CMV IGM and IGG positive. Per GI, there was no indication for antiviral treatment or colonoscopy at this time because patient is immunocompetant. GI will follow with outpatient colonoscopy. [] Recommend outpatient vaccination for hepatitis. ACUTE ISSUES ================= # Terminal ileitis He presented with 2 weeks of abdominal pain and intermittent fevers and was found on imaging to have findings consistent with terminal ileitis. This is typically associated with Crohn's disease although there are other associated conditions such as ulcerative colitis, infection or less likely NSAID ileitis. CRP at admission was elevated to 179. He was started on cipro and flagyl with improvement in his abdominal pain. GI was consulted and recommended sending off serologies. At the time of discharge, patient was noted to be CMV IgM positive, IgG positive, EBV IgG positive. Per GI, since patient was immunocompetant, they believed this was likely infectious and recommended continuing antibiotics and setting up an outpatient colonoscopy once the infection resolved. # Mild normocytic anemia Suspect reactive from illness however pt has prior hx of BRBPR iso lipoma. Low iron. Hemolysis labs negative. No evidence of active bleeding. # Mild transaminitis Initially presented with transaminitis that improved by discharge. RUQUS negative for biliary process. Likely secondary to infection as above. Hepatitis panels negative.

Mr. ___ was admitted to the ACS service with HPI as stated above. He underwent imaging which revealed bilateral ___ I fractures, right LeFort II fracture, and left LeFort III fracture. OMFS and ophthalmology were consulted. OMFS determined that operative repair would require a substantial block of OR time and so scheduled the case for ___. Ophthalmology evaluated the patient and determined that no acute ophthalmologic operative intervention was indicated but that the patient should follow up with the Mass Eye and Ear Institute department of occuloplastics. He was given a full liquid diet as he was not expected to go to the OR immediately. On ___, the patient was noted to have substantial facial swelling secondary to his injuries and so he was placed on continuous O2 saturation monitoring and transferred to the SICU; his condition did not worsen and he required no additional interventions. A tertiary survey on that day did not reveal any new injuries. He returned to the floor on ___ and was kept on full liquids. On ___, a syncope workup was initiated. EKG and CXR on ___ were not acutely concerning for evidence of a cause for his syncopal episode. A carotid ultrasound was similarly non-concerning. Ancef was initiated on that day per ___ recommendations. A TTE on ___ did not reveal any clear cause of his syncope but was reassuring for his appropriateness as an operative candidate. Mr. ___ went to the OR on ___ and underwent ORIF of facial fractures of his facial fractures and he tolerated the procedure well; for full details please see the operative report. He remained intubated for airway protection in the context of edema and went to the ICU post-op; he was extubated on POD#1, went to the floor in good condition, and was resumed on a full liquid diet. He initially was unable to tolerate the liquid diet due to difficulty swallowing as a consequence of the packing in his nose. He remained on IV fluids for hydration. ___ was involved in discussion of disposition and it was decided to keep Mr. ___ in the hospital for the time being. Ultimately, packing was discontinued by ___ on ___ in the early afternoon and the patient tolerated a full liquid diet very well after this action. On the day of his discharge, foley was removed and the patient voided multiple times successfully. It was noted that his right antecubital fossa was inflamed and indurated at his former IV site and so an ultrasound was ordered which revealed superficial clot but no DVT; he was advised to apply moderate comfortable heat to the area. Discharge meds were prescribed and follow-up with ___ and ophthalmology services in accordance with the recommendations of these services. He will remain on chlorhexadine mouth rinse and PO Keflex for 1 week. Mr. ___ was discharged to home on ___ with appropriate information, warnings, prescriptions, and follow-up.

Findings may relate to adjacent liver disease. 2. Hepatic cirrhosis. Small amount of ___ ascites. 3. Splenomegaly. ___ CXR: FINDINGS: There is an area of consolidation at the left base which is more suspicious for developing infiltrate or aspiration as opposed to simply atelectasis. There is atelectasis at the right base. The heart size is grossly within normal limits. There are no pneumothoraces. There are no signs for pulmonary edema. ___ MRI SCREENING: Preliminary Report IMPRESSION: Morphologic appearance of the liver consistent with cirrhosis. Nonspecific, subcentimeter focus of arterial hyperenhancement. Particular attention to this lesion on future surveillance imaging is recommended. Evidence of portal hypertension based on ascites, splenomegaly, and varices. Given degree of motion degradation of this examination, consideration may be given to acquiring future surveillance imaging with multiphase CT. Cholelithiasis, biliary sludge and likely fundal adenomyomatosis. Small pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. ___ ERCP: The scout film was normal. Evidence of a previous sphincterotomy was noted in the major papilla. The bile duct was deeply cannulated with a sphincterotome. Contrast was injected and there was brisk flow through the ducts. Contrast extended to the entire biliary tree. The CBD was 10mm in diameter. Two filling defects consistent with stones were identified in the mid and distal CBD. Opacification of the gallbladder was incomplete. The left and right hepatic ducts and all intrahepatic branches were incompletely visualized. Given the presence of a previous sphincterotomy, to facilitate stone extraction, balloon sphincteroplasty was performed from 10mm to12mm. The biliary tree was swept with a 9-12mm balloon starting at the bifurcation. Two stones were removed. The CBD and CHD were swept repeatedly until no further stones were seen. Excellent bile and contrast drainage was seen endoscopically and fluoroscopically. ___ EGD: 1 cord of grade II varix 2 cords of grade I varices were seen starting at 28 cm from the incisors in the gastroesophageal junction and lower third of the esophagus. The varices were not bleeding. Food in the stomach Varices at the gastroesophageal junction and lower third of the esophagus Congestion and petechiae in the fundus and stomach body compatible with portal hypertensive gastropathy Otherwise normal EGD to third part of the duodenum Recommendations: Patient can be started on nonselective B-Blocker therapy for prophylaxis against bleeding if no contraindications.

CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ man with right upper quadrant pain. Evaluate for acute chest process. FINDINGS: There is an area of consolidation at the left base which is more suspicious for developing infiltrate or aspiration as opposed to simply atelectasis. There is atelectasis at the right base. The heart size is grossly within normal limits. There are no pneumothoraces. There are no signs for pulmonary edema. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with h/o ERCP and biliary colic. Confirm absence of clips before MRI // ?clips or metal COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: Single view plain film of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrates no visualized metallic objects. Small densities noted in the right lower quadrant likely represent ingested medication. Gallstones in the gallbladder. Non-obstructive bowel gas pattern. IMPRESSION: No visualized metallic objects. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI abdomen with and without contrast INDICATION: ___ year old man with EtOH cirrhosis and elevated afp, please eval for ___ // eval for ___ TECHNIQUE: MRI of the abdomen is obtained in a 1.5 Tesla per liver mass protocol. Multiplanar T1 and T2 sequences are acquired both pre and post uneventful administration of 6 mL of Gadavist. Multiple sequences are significantly motion degraded. COMPARISON: Right upper quadrant ultrasound dating ___ FINDINGS: There are small bilateral pleural effusions, slightly greater on the left than the right, with adjacent enhancing bibasilar consolidative changes. The morphologic appearance of the liver is consistent with cirrhosis based on nodular contour, segmental size discrepancies, and heterogeneous parenchyma signal. There is a 8mm arterially enhancing lesion along the subcapsular surface lateral to the falciform ligament. This is seen on series 11, image 40, likely is within segment 8, although the middle hepatic vein is not definitively visualized. This is subtly T2 hypointense and T1 hyperintense, but no wash out is definitively identified. No additional focal hepatic lesion is seen. Intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts are normal caliber. There is cholelithiasis and biliary sludge. The wall irregularity at the level of the fundus is suggestive of focal adenomyomatosis, although poorly evaluated given the motion artifact. The main portal vein is somewhat attenuated but patent and contrast opacified. The splenic vein, SMV and intrahepatic portal venous branches are also patent and contrast opacified. There is evidence of portal hypertension, based on mild splenomegaly (rounded contour and maximum dimension of 13cm), moderate volume of ascites, and collateral vessel formation (paraesophageal varices and patent paraumbilical vein). Adrenal glands, kidneys and pancreas are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Morphologic appearance of the liver consistent with cirrhosis. Non-specific, sub-centimeter focus of arterial hyperenhancement.

Brief Narrative (more details below): ___ with history of presumed ETOH cirrhosis, GERD, BPH, biliary colic s/p ERCP in ___ with sphincterotomy admitted ___ for recurrent right upper quadrant abdominal pain with initial concern for cholecystitis. Given his Child ___ Class C, he was deemed a high-risk surgical candidate and was therefore managed medically with IV antibiotics. His pain persisted and he began to develop low-grade fevers with rising T bili, so he went for ERCP which revealed 2 stones in the Common Bile Duct which were successfully removed with good drainage. Given these findings and his clinical presentation, he was diagnosed with cholangitis. He improved significantly after ERCP and with IV unasyn and was subsequently narrowed to po ciprofloxacin. He should continue on this ciprofloxacin through ___. His blood pressure while inpatient was in the 90-100 systolic range after resolution of his infection - likely due to poor nutritional intake while hospitalized and amidst his acute illness. For this reason, though, his home lasix/spironolactone regimen and his new nadolol were NOT CONTINUED on discharge - these should be re-addressed and possibly restarted at his upcoming appointment on ___ ___. Of note, he also underwent routine screening EGD for varices while inpatient which discovered Grade I-II varices, no intervention needed, with recommendation for nadolol prophylaxis. He also underwent routine MRI screening which was negative for HCC. ** TRANSITIONAL ISSUES **: - continue ciprofloxacin 500mg po q12h through end of ___. - check full labs (CBC, basic chemistries, LFTs) on ___ ___ - ensure stable liver function and also renal function. - on ___ ___ blood pressure should be assessed to determine whether he is safe to restart his normal lasix 40mg daily and spironolactone 25mg daily, as these are HELD on discharge. Nadolol prophylaxis can also be re-addressed since this was NOT STARTED on discharge due to his BP - his home potassium supplements were HELD since his lasix is being held as above. re-evaluate with his labs and if restarting lasix as above as outpatient - initiated HBV vaccine series on ___ - should complete routine initial vaccination series with 2 more administrations - iron/TIBC ratio noted to be elevated (116/174) - hereditary hemochromatosis panel was ordered and should be followed-up ================================================================ ___ with history of presumed ETOH cirrhosis, GERD, BPH, biliary colic s/p ERCP in ___ who presents with right upper quadrant pain found to have radiographic evidence equivocal for acute cholecystitis, initially admitted to surgery service but subsequently transferred to the liver service given high surgical risk with subsequent development of cholangitis.

HPI: Mrs. ___ is a ___ woman with a past medical history of hypertension, breast cancer in remission, nonalcoholic stat oh hepatitis, hypothyroidism on Synthroid, and recent workup for dyspnea on exertion and chest pressure, as well as macular degeneration and prior workups in the past for TIA who presented to the ED with complaints of generalized weakness and paresthesias of the left hemibody. Patient states that she was feeling restless last night and had difficulty sleeping. At 4 AM the patient awoke and walked downstairs to make herself a cup of tea. At this time she felt well and was able to ambulate on her own. The patient went back to sleep and woke up at 730 when she noted a dull ache in the posterior aspect of her skull. The patient then decided to sleep again from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM. When the patient awoke for the second time, she noted to feel lightheaded and generalized weakness. Because she was feeling off she asked her husband to take her blood pressure which was 148/110 using a manual blood pressure cuff. As her symptoms did not subside they decided to call EMS for further evaluation. In the ambulance, the patient started to develop left V2 to V3 distribution paresthesias and a few minutes later had paresthesias in her left leg. The paresthesias transitioned to a feeling of numbness that she describes as a Novocain sensation in her left face and left hemibody. She denies any difficulty with language, no facial droop (confirmed with her husband who has been at her side), no weakness, no seizure-like activity, or any other neurologic complaints. Of note, the patient has been suffering from palpitations and was recently placed on a Holter monitor for further arrhythmia characterization. On review of systems, the patient endorses: Feeling continued dyspnea on exertion, generalized weakness, and nausea. Her headache has resolved. On review of systems, the patient denies the following: - Neurologic: confusion, difficulty producing speech, difficulty understanding speech, vision loss, diplopia, vertigo, dysarthria, dysphagia, focal limb weakness, gait imbalance. - Constitutional: fever, rigors, night sweats, unintentional weight loss. - Cardiovascular: chest pain, palpitations, lightheadedness. - Gastrointestinal: nausea, emesis, diarrhea, constipation. - Genitourinary: dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence. - Ear, Nose, Throat: tinnitus, hearing loss, rhinorrhea, odynophagia. - Hematologic: bleeding, easy bruising. - Musculoskeletal: arthralgia, myalgia. - Psychiatric: anxiety, depression. - Respiratory: dyspnea, cough, hematemesis. - Skin: rash, new skin lesions.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: RENAL TRANSPLANT U.S. INDICATION: ___ with hx renal transplant, present with ___, evaluate for rejection. TECHNIQUE: Grey scale as well as color and spectral Doppler ultrasound images of the renal transplant were obtained. COMPARISON: Renal ultrasound from ___. FINDINGS: The right iliac fossa transplant renal morphology is normal. Specifically, the cortex is of normal thickness and echogenicity, pyramids are normal, there is no urothelial thickening, and renal sinus fat is normal. There is no hydronephrosis. There is a small amount of simple fluid around the transplant kidney. The resistive index of intrarenal arteries ranges from 0.56 to 0.69, within the normal range. The main renal artery shows a normal waveform, with prompt systolic upstroke and continuous antegrade diastolic flow. Peak systolic velocities in the main renal artery are less elevated compared to prior study, now ranging from 90 to 281cm/sec, again likely reflecting the tortuosity of this vessel. Vascularity is symmetric throughout transplant. The transplant renal vein is patent and shows normal waveform. IMPRESSION: Normal appearance and vascularity of the transplant kidney. Less elevated peak systolic velocities in the remaining renal artery continue to reflect the tortuosity of this vessel. Small amount of perinephric simple fluid. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Ultrasound guidance for percutaneous kidney biopsy by nephrology INDICATION: ___ year old man with h/o of kidney transplant, with ?chrnoic rejection vs. bk nephropathy // rejection vs. bk nephropathy. Please schedule for late am on ___. TECHNIQUE: Real-time grayscale ultrasound imaging for biopsy guidance. COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: This procedure was performed by the Nephrology team; please see Nephrology procedure note for further details. Real-time ultrasound guidance for percutaneous renal biopsy was provided by radiologist. The lower pole of the transplant kidney was targeted and 2 biopsy passes performed. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of Fentanyl and Versed throughout the total intra-service time during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent, trained radiology nurse. IMPRESSION: Ultrasound guidance for percutaneous transplant kidney biopsy. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with h/o of Alports, on immunosup, BK, elevated Cr, worsened dry cough overnight. // immunosup, eval acute process EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) TECHNIQUE: Chest radiograph, PA and lateral views COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___ FINDINGS: There is a new small left pleural effusion. There is a new irregular opacity at the left lung base laterally, which could be an infectious process or atelectasis. A calcified granuloma in the left mid to upper lung is unchanged. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal size. IMPRESSION: New small left pleural effusion and left lung base opacity could be an infectious process or atelectasis. If clinically indicated, CT is recommended for further evaluation. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with h/o of ___, s/p kidney transplant, with acute rejection on immunosuppresion, new cough, and abnormal chest imaging. // please further eval ?infectious process. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast chest CT was performed acquiring sequential axial images from the thoracic inlet through the adrenal glands. Thin section axial, coronal, sagittal and axial MIP's were also obtained. DOSE: Total DLP = 357mGy-cm COMPARISON: No prior chest CT available for comparison. Correlation made to CT abdomen/pelvis dated ___. FINDINGS: The thyroid gland appears somewhat heterogeneous and edematous without identification of a discrete nodule. There are no pathologically enlarged supraclavicular, mediastinal, hilar or axillary lymph nodes. Heart size is normal with a trace pericardial effusion. Diffuse low attenuation of the blood in the heart suggests anemia. Mild focal calcification of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery is atypical in a young patient (3, 37). The main pulmonary artery and thoracic aorta are normal caliber. A small layering nonhemorrhagic left pleural effusion contributes to mild adjacent passive atelectasis of the left lower lobe. However, there is likely superimposed consolidation at the dependent aspect of the left lower lobe. There is also a trace right pleural effusion. Mild interlobular septal thickening and mild bronchial wall thickening is most extensive in the lower lobes. Multiple bilateral lower lobe bronchiolar nodules, some of which are clustered, measure up to 7 mm in the dependent aspect of the right lower lobe (5, 245). Airways are patent to the subsegmental level. There is marked cortical atrophy of the partially imaged kidneys with presence of a punctate left renal parenchymal calcification. The bones are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Suspected aspiration or pneumonia involving the dependent aspect of both lower lobes. Given the history of immunosuppression, invasive aspergillosis cannot be excluded. Although the bronchiolar nodules measuring up to 7 mm in the dependent right lower lobe are likely infectious or inflammatory, a short-term followup chest CT following appropriate antibiotic treatment is advised. Mild pulmonary edema. Small layering nonhemorrhagic left pleural effusion with mild associated partial passive atelectasis of the left lower lobe. Trace right pleural effusion. Mild coronary artery calcification involving the proximal LAD is atypical in a young patient. However, this patient may be at increased risk of coronary artery disease given the history of chronic renal disease in the setting of Alport syndrome. Anemia.

The right neck and upper chest were 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. The sheath was then peeled away. The catheter was sutured in place with 0 silk sutures. Steri-strips were also used to close the venotomy incision site.

___ year old male, with a history of ESRD ___ Alport Syndrome, s/p LURT in ___ (from his wife), presenting with ___. Hospital course complicated by BK viremia, and biopsy proven acute humoral rejection. . >> ACTIVE ISSUES: # Acute Humoral Rejection: Patient initially presented with an increased creatinine, and there was question of rejection given outpatient testing which was significant for low titer of donor specific antibodies. Patient underwent a renal biopsy, and repeat donor specific antibody testing, which revealed a > test MFI. Further, BK testing done at that time also showed an increasing BK viremia in both the serum and urine. Biopsy results included a multitude of findings, including an acute on chronic humoral rejection, with multiple crescenteric glomeruli. Further, in the background of his acute rejection was BK positivity on biopsy (SV40) as well. After much discussion regarding treatment options, it was thought that patient should be placed on high dose immunosuppression with both tacrolimus and MMF. With increasing immunosuppression, patient started to have increased hemolysis as well and thought to be ___ to tacrolimus microangiopathy. Peripheral smears did show ___ schistocytes/HPF. Per acute rejection guidelines, patient was initially started on plasmapheresis to remove donor specific antibodies, and was replaced full FFP instead of half albumin because of risks of bleeding with renal biopsy. Patient also was started on high dose steroids at that time, and during plasmapheresis sessions patient started to develop a cough (reported below). Given concerns for aspergillus, and the risk for invasive disease with higher immunosuppression, patient underwent plasmapheresis and was transitioned to an IVIG load of 2 grams, with lower immunosuppression. Tacrolimus was also discontinued in the setting of increased TMA with severely elevated levels ___ to initiation of voriconazole. Patient started to undergo dialysis sessions ___ to increased volume, although urine output consistently stayed between 500-1L per day. Patient eventually was transitioned to permanent dialysis, with loss of his graft function, and was transitioned to a regimen including low dose prednisone and MM sodium. . #ESRD s/p LURT : As described above, patient was transitioned to dialysis during hospital stay after acute humoral rejection. Patient underwent transplant evaluation for AVF, with vein mapping bilaterally, and scheduled to undergo AVF after hospital discharge. Plans for patient include home hemodialysis set up as well in the future. Patient was discharged with negative Hepatitis Serologies, and pending quantiferon gold for dialysis placement. . # Pneumonia: As indicated above, patient started to develop a cough during his plasmapheresis sessions, and initial imaging showed a possible cavitary lesion. Patient was started on broad spectrum antibiotics, however given concerns for invasive aspergillus in the setting of higher dosed immunosuppression for acute rejection, confirmatory testing with bronchoscopy was performed. Patient's BAL did not show any evidence, and no serologic evidence of fungi either. Patient was originally started on amphotericin given interactions of voriconazole with immunosuppression, however this was discontinued as suspicion was low after testing. Patient was continued on Zosyn for 7 day course, with resolution of cough and CT imaging showed resolution of cavitary lesion. . # Hypertension: Patient was up-titrated to labetolol 200 mg TID for better control as started to have both elevated diastolic and systolic pressures. Patient tolerated dose adjustment well. . # Chest Pain: Patient was found to have acute chest pain, with respiratory difficulty after bronchoscopy. He described this pain as chest pressure, and since no DVT prophylaxis as risk of bleeding with renal biopsy, initial concerns for PE. ABGs at that time were significant for a resppiratory alkalosis (pH 7.8, CO2 15). Patient underwent V/Q scan which showed low likelihood, and LENIs which were negative for DVT. Patient also started to have resolution with anxyiolitic, thought to be more panic attack with pain ___ bronchoscopy. . # Gout: Patient was continued on allopurinol renal dose without flare. . # History of C. diff: Patient would be classified as severe C. diff in the past, and was finishing a course of PO vancomycin to prevent recurrence. His course was extended given antibiotics while inpatient and higher dose immunosuppression, and was continued until ___ per ID recommendations. Patient did not have diarrhea while inpatient and reported resolution of symptoms. . # Anemia: Patient was found to be anemic several times during hospital stay, requiring multiple transfusions. Anemia was thought to be ___ to TMA evidenced by hemolysis and peripheral smear findings. Further, patient's renal biopsy also demonstrated thrombi as well. Patient also encountered a dialyzer reaction, and therefore had an acute blood loss as well. Patient's renal biopsy site was ultrasounded given increased pain, but not significant for bleeding as well. Patient remained hemodynamically stable, and will require checks as an outpatient. . >> TRANSITIONAL ISSUES:# Dialysis: Set up ___. Plan for transition to home HD # TMA?: Concerns while inpatient for hemolysis, stable H/H. Continue to trend as outpatient. # C. diff: Patient completed course with PO Vanc, CTM for diarrhea. # CT Chest Imaging: Several bronchiolar nodules, f/u in 3 months for resultion and tracking to compare (___) # AVF: Patient to have AVF on ___ for planned hemo-dialysis. # HTN: Up-titrated Labetolol 200 TID. # Dialysis Placement: Quantiferon Gold pending upon discharge. # ? Dialysis Rxn: Possible Dialysis Rxn to optiflux 180, but not definitive. Please monitor.

He was monitored closely in the TSICU. He was alert and responsive. He had a L flank hematoma and his hct was monitored closely, it was stable. His diet was advanced but he had a possible aspiration event. His o2 sats remained stable, however, in the low ___. He was placed on metoprolol for his tachycardia. He was restarted on his home anti-seizure medications. He had a speech and swallow consult. Patient was transferred to the floor once stable. He remained on the floor and was doing well until the evening of ___ when he began to become agitated, stating "I've had enough," and warning that he would leave that night despite knowing that his primary team did not think it was wise. Pt was also aware that he was likely to be discharged to rehab the following day. The intern on call had multiple conversations with him totaling about 30 minutes explaining the risks of leaving against the team's advice in his condition (requiring 4L of oxygen d/t severe COPD and incomplete transition to rehab). As patient was ambulatory at this time, he proceeded to walk out of floor despite advice, after all lines were d/c'd. He was directed towards the lobby at this time and left hospital.

Initially a code stroke was called on the patient at ___ and a tele-stroke was performed. Per the stroke fellow patient was noted to not to be moving the left side on exam, will no speech output, not following commands, and a forced left gaze deviation. She was then noted to have convulsions consistent with what was described as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. She was given 2 mg of IV Ativan and these movements subsided. She was loaded with fosphenytoin and given IV labetalol for systolic blood pressure of 220. In addition patient was noted to have a blood glucose greater than 500 which was eventually corrected to around the high 200s before transport. Patient had a CTA head and neck and a CT head that were negative for any large vessel occlusion or hemorrhage. Upon arrival to the ED the patient was noted to have her eyes closed, would not open them to noxious stimulation though would localize briskly with her right upper extremity. She would localize with the left upper extremity antigravity though much less briskly than the right. Bilateral lower extremities withdrawal to noxious stimulation right brisker than left. Pupils were around 2 mm and reactive. She no longer had a forced left gaze deviation rather eyes were midline with a sluggish subtle VOR possibly to the right. No blink to threat bilaterally, bilateral corneals were intact. She was subsequently intubated in the emergency room and taken for repeat CT head which showed a new right subarachnoid hemorrhage. Neurosurgery was consulted and reviewed the CTA from the outside hospital without any evidence of aneurysm. They are considering an angiogram this morning. I spoke to the patient's sister on the phone earlier this morning who tells me that she found her sister in the bathroom last night. She went to check on her because she had the water running for a very long period of time. Patient was noted to have a dazed look was not responding, and could not talk. She sat down on the toilet and then became more unresponsive per the sister. She checked her blood glucose and it was around 480s. She also noted that she was not moving her left arm at all during this time so she took her to the emergency room. Over the last week or so she is noticed that her sisters had periods of time where she has this "dazed look " In her eyes "almost looked like she did not know where she was for a few seconds". Overall she has had a more subacute decline in functioning over the last few months and years. Patient has had worsening issues with her memory. In addition she is not very active and really only goes out to locations very close to her house. She also says that her sister recently was complaining of some indigestion and increased burping but otherwise had been her typical self.

Level of Consciousness: Lethargic but arousable. Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Failure to thrive, weakness. No prior studies available for comparison. PA and lateral upright chest radiographs were reviewed. The patient is after median sternotomy, reason unclear since no evidence of CABG is definitely seen. Mediastinum is shifted to the left. Cardiac silhouette is difficult to assess due to obscuration of the left heart border by pleural effusion, partially layering and most likely partially loculated, moderate. There is left lower lobe opacity, most likely reflecting atelectasis, unclear if secondary to the effusion or due to other reasons. The right lung is essentially clear except for minimal atelectasis. Left upper lung is clear as well. No pneumothorax is seen. No evidence of pulmonary edema is present. Vertebroplasty of the lower thoracic vertebral body, most likely T11 is noted. Comparison with prior study is recommended. Otherwise, assessment of the patient with CT chest preferably with contrast for precise determination of left lower lobe and pleural effusion appearance might be considered. Findings submitted to Radiology Dashboard for communication of critical results by dr ___ on ___ at 1:50 pm Radiology Report LUMBAR SPINE MRI WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST, ___ INDICATION: ___ man with history of myeloma, spinal stenosis, and arthritis, now with worsening back pain and altered mental status. Evaluate for malignancy. The patient has pain in the coccyx, please extend the study to include the coccyx. COMPARISON: No previous studies here. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fat-suppressed T2-weighted images of the lumbar spine and sacrum were obtained, with axial T1- and T2-weighted images. Following intravenous gadolinium administration, sagittal and axial T1-weighted images were repeated. FINDINGS: Bone marrow signal is diffusely abnormal, suggesting myelomatous involvement. Fat-suppressed T2-weighted images demonstrate multiple small foci of high signal throughout the marrow, suggesting malignancy. Exceptions to this pattern include low signal within the partially visualized T12 vertebral body, corresponding to vertebroplasty material seen on the chest radiographs of the same day, and a hemangioma in the L2 vertebral body, which also has high signal on T1-weighted images. There are small depressions in the superior endplates of T12, L1, and L2 vertebral bodies. There is a more pronounced depression in the superior endplate of the L5 vertebral body, with mild loss of height, but no evidence of associated bone marrow edema. There is no retropulsion. There is a discrete expansile lesion involving the spinous process of L3, which extends into the adjacent posterior paravertebral muscles and the overlying fascia. While the lesion extends to the confluence of the lamina of L3, it does not encroach upon the spinal canal. There is no evidence of an epidural mass within the spinal canal. The distal spinal cord appears unremarkable, with the conus medullaris terminating at the T12-L1 level. No abnormal intrathecal enhancement or other intrathecal abnormalities are seen. Alignment of the lumbar spine is preserved. At L1-2, there is no spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. At L2-3, there is a minimal disc bulge, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and mild bilateral facet arthropathy. There is no spinal canal narrowing. There is no significant neural foraminal narrowing. At L3-4, there is a mild disc bulge, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and mild facet arthropathy. The subarticular recesses are narrowed, and the traversing L4 nerve roots are abutted, without clear evidence for compression. There is no significant neural foraminal narrowing. At L4-5, there is a disc bulge, a possible small central disc protrusion, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and moderate facet arthropathy. These findings result in moderate-to-severe spinal canal narrowing with compression of the traversing L5 nerve roots in the subarticular recesses. There is no significant neural foraminal narrowing. At L5-S1, there is mild-to-moderate bilateral facet arthropathy. There is no significant disc bulge. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. The sacrum and coccyx are fully included on the sagittal images. The axial images include S1 through S3 levels. There is no evidence of a mass within the spinal canal or neural foramina of the sacrum. There is no evidence of focal nerve root compression, either in the spinal canal, neural foramina, or along the proximal extraforaminal portions of the visualized sacral nerve roots. Sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed images demonstrate abnormal high signal in the presacral space, extending inferiorly towards the coccyx. An infiltrative soft tissue abnormality cannot be excluded. Cystic lesions are partially visualized in the kidneys, incompletely assessed. IMPRESSION: 1. Diffuse infiltration of the bone marrow of the lumbar spine, sacrum, and coccyx, likely by the known myeloma. Discrete expansile mass in the L3 spinous process involves the adjacent posterior paravertebral muscles and the overlying fascia, but does not extend into the spinal canal. No evidence of epidural or foraminal masses. 2. Superior endplate deformities at T12, L1, L2, and L5, without evidence of edema to suggest acute fractures. No retropulsion. 3. Abnormal signal in the presacral and pre-coccygeal space. An infiltrative soft tissue process cannot be excluded. Suggest further evaluation by contrast-enhanced CT or MRI of the pelvis. 4. Multilevel lumbar degenerative disease. Moderate-to-severe spinal canal stenosis at L4-5 with compression of the traversing L5 nerve roots. Narrowing of the subarticular recesses at L3-4, with abutment of the traversing L4 nerve roots. 5. Partially imaged cystic lesions in the kidneys. Recommend sonography for further evaluation. Radiology Report STUDY: 11 total views from a skeletal survey, ___. COMPARISON: No bone survey for comparison. INDICATION: Evaluate for lytic lesions, masses in the setting of multiple myeloma, history of isolated plasmacytoma, evidence of possible bone marrow infiltration on lumbar spine MRI. FINDINGS: SKULL: No definite lytic lesions within the skull. Incompletely evaluated degenerative changes of the cervical spine. No definite compression fractures. THORACIC SPINE: Median sternotomy. Prior T12 vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. Multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracic spine. No definite compression fractures. LUMBAR SPINE: Multiple gallstones are noted. Calcifications project over the left lower quadrant, which may be within bowel or dystrophic calcification within the mesentery. Prior vertebroplasty of L5. Multilevel degenerative changes. No definite compression fracture. PELVIS: Bowel gas obscures the bony detail of the sacrum and SI joints. Unremarkable pubic symphysis. Degenerative changes of the hips. No definite lytic lesions. FEMUR: Mild swelling of the right femur with widened distal portion. Similar findings are seen on the left. No definite lytic lesions. HUMERI: Prominent deltoid tuberosities. Very tiny lucencies are seen within the humeri, however, this may be due to bone mineralization and not lytic lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. No definite lytic lesions identified. Lucencies are seen within humeri, likely due to bone mineralization. If further evaluation is needed for a specific region, recommend further evaluation with MRI which is more sensitive to detect myelomatous lesions. 2. Cholelithiasis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with multiple myeloma, presents with mental status change. Question mass or bleed. COMPARISON: Reference study dated ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous non-contrast axial images were acquired through the brain. FINDINGS: Allowing for significant motion degradation, limiting assessment of current study, there is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, mass effect, edema, or shift of normally midline structures. The gray-white matter differentiation appears preserved. There is pronounced periventricular and subcortical white matter hypoattenuation, compatible with a small vessel ischemic disease. Ventricles and sulci are prominent, consistent with age-related involution. Suprasellar and basilar cisterns are patent. Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. Vascular calcifications are seen in the cavernous carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. Globes and orbits are preserved. There has been bilateral lens placement. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of hemorrhage or infarction. 2. Small vessel ischemic disease and age-related involution. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Mental status changes in a patient with history of multiple myeloma and new loculated pleural effusion on chest radiograph. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___. TECHNIQUE: Unenhanced MDCT of the chest was obtained from thoracic inlet to upper abdomen with subsequent 1.25- and 5-mm collimation. Axial images reviewed in conjunction with coronal and sagittal reformats. FINDINGS: Several mediastinal lymph nodes ranging up to 7 mm in the right lower paratracheal area, 6 mm in the prevascular area with no pathologically enlarged mediastinal, hilar or axillary lymph nodes seen. The aorta is normal in diameter. Main pulmonary artery is normal, 3.2 cm but the right pulmonary artery and left pulmonary arteries are enlarged up to 3.1 and 3 cm respectively that might reflect pulmonary hypertension. Extensive coronary calcifications are present. Heart size is normal. The patient is after mitral valvuloplasty. Calcifications within the papillary muscles might reflect prior infarction. There is no pericardial effusion. The imaged portion of the upper abdomen reveals calcified gallstones and pancreatic atrophy and otherwise is unremarkable. Airways are patent to the subsegmental level bilaterally. Partially loculated left pleural effusion is demonstrated, small to moderate. Consolidation in the left lower lobe with subsequent volume loss, most likely reflects rounded atelectasis given the appearance of the vessels and airways. Internal calcifications are also noted in this loculation. The assessment of lung parenchyma is somewhat limited due to motion artifact. Loculated pleural effusion on the right along the major fissure is demonstrated, 4:89, approximately 5 x 2 cm. At the right lung base, several ground-glass and solid nodules are noted, might potentially reflect infectious process such as right lower lobe pneumonia. No definitive evidence of pneumonia is seen on the left. Within the limitations of this non-contrast study, no pleural masses are noted. The patient is after T12 vertebroplasty. Some irregularity within the bones might be consistent with known history of myeloma. Left upper lobe posterior segment atelectasis is most likely related to pleural effusion and unlikely to represent infectious process. IMPRESSION: 1. Small to moderate loculated left pleural effusion, chronicity unknown, most likely chronic given the presence of relatively large left lower lobe rounded atelectasis and left upper lobe posterior segment atelectasis. Small loculated right pleural effusion along the fissure. 2. Suspected right lower lobe developing / resolving infectious process, assessment is limited due to motion artifacts. 3. Extensive coronary artery disease. 4. Status post mitral valvuloplasty. 5. Dilated pulmonary arteries that might reflect pulmonary hypertension. Correlation with echocardiography is suggested if clinically warranted. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ gentleman with new left-sided PICC line, evaluate for placement. COMPARISON: ___. TECHNIQUE: Portable semi-erect chest radiograph. FINDINGS: There is interval placement of a left-sided PICC line with the tip terminating in the proximity of the cavoatrial junction. Although, there is a linear opacity at the tip of the PICC line suggesting a kink, on closer examination, it appears that the opacity is part of the spine and is seen on prior studies. The known left-sided pleural effusion persists and is unchanged. There is a new rounded density at the ___ the right chest. The size and contour suggest that it is possibly the projection of a foreign body, however, PA and lateral chest radiographs might be helpful to rule out any underlying pulmonary processes, if clinically warrented. No pleural effusions on the right and no pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval placement of a left-sided PICC line with the tip terminating in the proximity of the cavoatrial junction. 2. A new rounded opacity is seen projecting over the mid right lung possibly representing a foreign object. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH. INDICATION: Recent PICC line, followup of opacity. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the course of the left PICC line is unchanged. The opacity seen on yesterday's radiograph projecting over the right lung is now elucidated by the lateral radiograph. The opacity is caused by an intrafissural component of pleural effusion. The extent of the bilateral pleural effusions is unchanged as also documented by the lateral image. No other relevant changes. Status post vertebroplasty. Sternal wires in situ. Unchanged appearance of the cardiac silhouette. Gender: M Race: WHITE Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: BACK PAIN Diagnosed with OTHER CHRONIC PAIN , LUMBAGO, ALTERED MENTAL STATUS , MULTIPLE MYELOMA, WITHOUT MENTION OF HAVING ACHIEVED REMISSION temperature: 98.6 heartrate: 79.0 resprate: 16.0 o2sat: 99.0 sbp: 122.0 dbp: 61.0 level of pain: 10 level of acuity: 3.0
___ w/PMHx multiple myeloma, arthritis, and spinal stenosis presenting with complaints of poorly controlled back pain, acute changes in mental status and failure to thrive, now with chest CT showing consolidation vs. atelectasis on left, with possible evolving right infectious process on right. ACTIVE ISSUES 1 Goals of care: After extensive discussion with the patient's son ___ and daughter (and HCP) ___, the decision was made to transition to comfort measures only. Antibiotics were discontinued and medication list was reviewed with unnecessary medications removed (Simvastatin, vitamin D). The patient was discharged to skilled nursing with inpatient hospice care. Goals of care are comfort measures only, DNR/DNI, do not hospitalize unless symptoms are not controlled with hospice care. 2. Healthcare Associated Pneumonia: Left pleural effusion discovered on chest x-ray early in admission. After review of patient's outside CT scans, no effusion was present in CT of ___, only an area of rounded atelectasis on the right. With these findings, chest CT was performed and possible infectious process was found on the right, with large areas of consolidation vs. atelectasis on the left. It was thought that these areas could likely represent pneumonia in the setting of this patient who had been persistently delirious and has a history of stay in a ___ care facility for the last several months, who is likely to have aspirated, and likely does not mount a large immune response. He was started on treatment for presumed HCAP with vancomycin, cefepime, and metronidazole to be continued for an 8 day course starting ___. After goals of care discussion, antibiotics were discontinued ___. PICC line was removed prior to discharge. 3. Altered mental status: Per the patient's family, he had experienced a decline in mental status after his kyphoplasty several months ago with a possible history of stroke, however, his mental status had become acutely worse over the week prior to admission. CT of the head revealed no acute process, but did show evidence of chronic ischemic changes. Narcotics were minimized with the thought that these were contributing to his delirium. The patient was found to be hypercalcemic to 10.7 and this was thought to be a possible cause of AMS. Oncology was consulted and noted that this level of hypercalcemia was not dramatic enough to cause AMS of the degree seen in this patient. Other oncologic causes, including hyperviscosity and uremia were also ruled out. Per oncology, there was no clear indication that myeloma could be causing this AMS. Medication effect from over sedation with oxycodone was thought to be a large part of the etiology for delirium and the patient was treated conservatively for pain, limiting narcotics. 3. Mutiple myeloma: The patient and family history on this topic were vague; the outside oncologist Dr. ___ was called to clarify. Per Dr. ___ patient was discovered to have an isolated plasmacytoma at L3 in ___, which he was treating with palliative radiation, with the possibility of definitive treatment as this was thought to be his only lesion, and he was thought to be free of systemic disease based on an unremarkable skeletal survey. The patient had never received chemotherapy for myeloma, nor had he had bone marrow biopsy. IgG on ___ was 2500 with elevated kappa spike 27.2. However, on lumbar MRI performed to evaluate back pain on this admission, systemic disease was suggested by infiltration of the spine consistent with extensive myeloma. Oncology was consulted who noted that there was no urgent indication to treat the patient for myeloma at this time and that myeloma was not likely to be a contributing factor to his AMS. Repeat IgG was 2665 and Beta 2 microglobulin was elevated at 3.4. Skeletal survey showed no definite lytic lesions. At the time of discharge, UPEP, serum viscosity, and Free kappa and lambda light chains were still pending and should be followed by the outpatient oncologist depending on goals of care. 4.Back pain: The patient has a longstanding history of back pain as well as surgery on the spine with most recently being kyphoplasty in ___. However, this pain seemed worse. Lumbar MRI was performed which did not reveal any obvious cause for his pain but did show an ill-defined region of abnormal density in the pre-coccygeal/pre-sacral area. The spine service was consulted who reviewed the MRI with the neuroradiologist and found no involvement of the spine by the presacral tissue abnormality. The chronic pain service was also consulted. For pain, the patient received: tylenol ___ tid, gabapentin 300mg TID, oxycodone 5mg q6hours PRn, as well as morphine ___ IV prn q8hrs for breakthrough pain. Narcotics were minimized due to contribution to delirium. His neuropathic pain with sciatica-like features improved. However, the patient had difficulty communicating his overall pain effectively due to delirium and consistently rated his pain low on a severity scale. 5. Aspiration: Nursing raised concern for aspiration. Speech and swallow study was performed with recommendations for nectar-thick liquids and ground solids. CHRONIC ISSUES 1. Glaucoma-stable on brimonidine and dorzolamide. 2. ___ esophagus-stable on omeprazole. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES UPEP, serum viscosity, and free kappa/lambda light chains are still pending at discharge and should be followed up by the outpatient PCP and oncologist CODE STATUS DNR/DNI, Comfort measures only. Do not hospitalize.

___ yo man with esophageal cancer on chemo and s/p XRT with plans for esophagectomy at some point who was just discharged from my service yesterday ___ after a 5 week hospitalization where he was managed for radiation esophagitis, s/p J-Tube placement, HA-PNA s/p completed course of ABx and intractable nausea and vomiting with intolerance to tube feeds who was readmitted from nursing facility <12 hours from discharge with recurrent symptoms and isolated fever. # Fever # Abdominal pain One isolated fever to 101 without new or focal symptoms. Seems that the fever was an adrenergic response to severe abdominal pain and nausea while at ___. During his course he had no focal findings on exam and no localizing symptoms other than chronic issues and with stable labs without leukocytosis. CT A/P, CXR, UA, Flu swab and Cdiff PCR all negative. BCx and stool Cx NGTD. He remained hemodynamically stable without signs of sepsis throughout his course without need for antibiotics. # Radiation Esophagitis # Stage III-IV esophageal cancer on chemo s/p XRT # Moderate Malnutrition: No PO intake, albumin 3.0 during prior admission, peripheral muscle wasting on exam. # Nausea with vomiting Overall he appeared stable, pain and nausea controlled and at baseline from prior to last discharge. As per prior work up and documentation from last admission, radiation esophagitis was confirmed on biopsy EGD ___. His last admission pain was very difficult to control following J tube placement and he required high dose IV Morphine which was changed to PO solution AND SC morphine. Prior to discharge he was only requiring oral morphine solution. Recurrent severe pain at ___ was likely related to missing several doses of morphine and being underdosed from what he was receiving at ___. Furthermore, nausea and vomiting were best controlled at ___ when zofran and compazine were staggered Q4 Hr. While at ___ seems he did not receive any antiemetics, this likely accounted for worsening symptoms rather than new acute pathology. During his admission he had no evidence of worsening diarrhea, fevers, chills or leukocytosis to support infectious etiology. No abdominal tenderness on exam and normoactive bowel sounds, CT A/P negative and passing flatus, SBO highly unlikely. Cdiff and stool cultures all negative. Continued continuous tube feeds at 70ml/hr as per prior hospitalization, restarted Ondansetron Q8H and Compazine Q8H standing and stagger within 4 hours of each other. EKG monitored and QT remained around 425. Continued Fentanyl 25 mcg/patch for basal pain control, Omeprazole, liquid acetaminophen, sucralfate slurry, lidocaine patch as during prior admission. Continued also Maalox/diphenhydramine/lidocaine/levsin. Continued 10 mg oral morphine solution q2hrs initially as recommended by palliative care which was tapered to Q3HRS:PRN in conjunction with palliative care recs. On discharge the plan was to continue weaning to Q4HRs:PRN, this was communicated to outpatient providers by palliative care. # Hyponatremia Mild and consistent with prior values during last admit. Likely hypovolemic from vomiting, resolved with IVFs. # Anemia: # Leukpenia Stable on admission from prior to discharge, downtrended in setting of IVFs but remained stable therafter. Likely related to chemotherapy, radiation and chronic disease, not neutropenic and without signs of blood loss. # Opiate use disorder: History of and no longer active. For now priority is achieving pain control for his severe esophagitis as before then discuss weaning opiates in conjunction with palliative care. Morphine tapering should continue as discussed in notes and in discussion with palliative care, high risk for addiction.

There is mild right ventricular global free wall hypokinesis. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Tiny pericardial effusion, not significantly changed since the prior study of ___ ___ Imaging CHEST (PORTABLE AP) IMPRESSION: Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___. Left PIC line ends in the upper SVC. Restrictive right pleural thickening persists but there has been a decrease in the volume of dependent pleural effusion. I cannot tell whether this has been replaced by pleural air or re-expanded lung. Basal pleural drainage tube is still in place. Heart size top-normal. Left lung clear. ___ Imaging CHEST (PA & LAT) IMPRESSION: In comparison to ___ radiograph, a pleural catheter is in place in the right hemi thorax, with a persistent large, loculated right pleural effusion with associated air fluid level and locules of pleural gas, more fully evaluated by recent chest CT performed less than 1 hr earlier. Postoperative and post radiation changes in the right hemi thorax are more fully evaluated by CT. ___HEST W/O CONTRAST IMPRESSION: Increase in fluid volume of large probably multiloculated right hydro pneumothorax, most of which is remote from the plane of the lateral and anterior position of the tunneled right pleural drainage catheter. New epicardial edema. Even though the volume of right pericardial effusion is small, it should be monitored with echocardiography to detect any evidence of developing purulent pericarditis.

Contrast agent was not administered. All images were reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 10.1 s, 38.7 cm; CTDIvol = 11.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 438.5 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 449 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CHEST CT OF ___, AND ___, read in conjunction with conventional chest radiographs since ___ showing the recent re-accumulation of moderate right pleural effusion following exchange of pleural drainage devices. FINDINGS: Supraclavicular and left axillary and numerous sub cm right axillary lymph nodes are not pathologically enlarged or growing. There is no soft tissue abnormality in the chest wall suspicious for malignancy or infection, including the course of the tunneled pleural drainage catheter that enters the right lower chest anterolaterally and ascends to the anterior pleural space. A moderate to large right nonhemorrhagic pleural effusion has grown larger since ___, replacing the some of the previous large pockets of pleural air, containing smaller pockets of air. It lies primarily posterior and inferior to the right lung, which is encased in thickened visceral pleura. Parietal pleura is particularly thickened with induration of the extra pleural, intrathoracic soft tissue, but no extravasation of fluid or infiltration involving the chest wall. Largest discrete air and fluid collection is in the upper right posterior hemi thorax, probably in the pleura, although given the severity of bullous emphysema, a superinfected bulla is not excluded. Small pericardial effusion is stable but there is an increase in edema of epicardial fat, suggesting inflammation. There is no evidence of tamponade physiology. The left pleural space is normal. Thyroid is unremarkable. Atherosclerotic calcification is moderately heavy in head and neck vessels but not evident in coronary arteries. Aorta is normal size. Main pulmonary artery is mildly dilated, 34 mm today, 33 mm on ___. A large infiltrative right hilar mass contiguous with extensive subcarinal mediastinal adenopathy obstructs the right bronchial tree below a short stent in the bronchus intermedius, occluding both the middle and lower lobe bronchi and major segments. The right main bronchus and upper lobe bronchus are surrounded by tumor, but are less narrowed today than on ___. Nevertheless large portion of the right upper lobe is collapsed against the mediastinum, perhaps due to prior radiation therapy,Although this history is not provided to me. Right middle and lower lobes are entirely collapsed. There is lesser adenopathy in the prevascular mediastinum and left hilus, unchanged. In addition to previously described large scale subcarinal adenopathy, also stable is mild adenopathy in the prevascular mediastinum and left hilus. Dystrophic calcifications lie in lymph nodes medial to the bronchus intermedius. Left bronchial tree is patent. . . Emphysema is severe in the aerated right upper lobe, less pronounced throughout the left lung. There is no pneumonia or nodulation in the left lung. Loss of height in several thoracic vertebrae is due to depression of there superior endplates, unchanged in severity since ___, and not necessarily due to tumor infiltration. A sclerotic expansion of the posterior aspect of a right lower rib is a healed fracture, possibly pathologic. There are no other osseous lesions in the chest cage concerning for metastasis or infection. IMPRESSION: Increase in fluid volume of large probably multiloculated right hydro pneumothorax, most of which is remote from the plane of the lateral and anterior position of the tunneled right pleural drainage catheter. New epicardial edema. Even though the volume of right pericardial effusion is small, it should be monitored with echocardiography to detect any evidence of developing purulent pericarditis. The bronchus intermedius is stented. Narrowing of the right main and upper lobe bronchi has improved. Right hilar mass still occludes right middle and lower lobe bronchi and those lobes are collapsed. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old man with hx of pleural effusion s/p TPC placed // ?effusion / resolution IMPRESSION: In comparison to ___ radiograph, a pleural catheter is in place in the right hemi thorax, with a persistent large, loculated right pleural effusion with associated air fluid level and locules of pleural gas, more fully evaluated by recent chest CT performed less than 1 hr earlier. Postoperative and post radiation changes in the right hemi thorax are more fully evaluated by CT. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old man with empyema // interval change interval change IMPRESSION: Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___. Left PIC line ends in the upper SVC. Restrictive right pleural thickening persists but there has been a decrease in the volume of dependent pleural effusion. I cannot tell whether this has been replaced by pleural air or re-expanded lung. Basal pleural drainage tube is still in place. Heart size top-normal. Left lung clear. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ years old man with trapped lung, empyema and chest tube insertion // chest tube and residual pleural effusion DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 10.4 s, 39.9 cm; CTDIvol = 12.0 mGy (Body) DLP = 459.1 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 470 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Chest CT scans since ___, most recently ___. FINDINGS: Overall volume of the extensive right hydro pneumothorax has decreased slightly since ___, but there is still a moderately large volume of fluid with multiple small gas loculations and severe restrictive pleural thickening partially responsible for contraction of the right hemi thorax and rightward shift of the mediastinum. The largest pleural fluid collection, in the apex is smaller, largely replaced by air. The right pleural drain entering anterolaterally and ascending anterior to the right upper lobe is unchanged in position and there is no the fluid or other abnormality associated with its tunneled course in the right chest wall. Small to moderate pericardial effusion is unchanged. There is no calcification the and no increase in the mild edema of epicardial fat or any evidence of tamponade. Short bronchial stent in the bronchus intermedius is unchanged. The infiltrative peribronchial tissue in the right hilus with a masslike appearance is inseparable from atelectasis. Bronchial patency has definitely improved in the right middle lobe and superior and basal segments of the lower lobe although the lower lobe remains a largely collapsed. Left lung is clear of focal abnormality. Other findings are unchanged since ___. IMPRESSION: Slight decrease in overall volume and in the fluid component of multiloculated right hydro pneumothorax. No change in position of course of the right pigtail drainage catheter. Bronchus intermedius stent unchanged in position. Improved patency to right middle lobe bronchus and right lower lobe segmental bronchi.

Hypoxic on arrival, briefly requiring NIPPV, but rapidly down-titrated to NRB and then NC. Initially treated with vancomycin/zosyn. Zosyn later changed to cefepime/metronidazole given a penicillin allergy and vancomycin discontinued. After 24 hours, patient no longer had on oxygen requirement, was afebrile, had appropriate urine output and lactic acidosis had resolved. Patient's blood pressures remained lower than reported baseline however improved and home bblocker was restarted. He was called out of the ICU where he was transitioned to levo/flagyl with continued improvemnt. ___ompleted while in the hospital. # Aspirations: Patient with aspiration pneumonia in the setting of recurrent aspiration and dysphagia. Originally evaluated by speech and swallow who recommended he remain NPO, but on re-evaluation he was deemed safe to place on a modified diet. On further discussion with the patients family, they do not want to pursue further w/u for this. Per family request, patient was seen by palliative care in the hospital for discussions about end of life and DNH, however ultimately pt was discharged to rehab with ongoing discussions about goals of care. # Delerium: pt with AMS while in the hospital, likely due to infection. Pt was aaox 3 throughout and was improved at the time of discharge although is intermittently somnolent. # Heart Failure with preserved EF: Patient appeared euvolemic on examination. BNP 465 on admission, not concerning for exacerbation of diastolic CHF. # ___ on CKD: Patient with baseline creatinine of 1.3, presented with 1.8. Improved with IVF hydration to 1.4. # Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation: Occured in the setting of infection, no recurrent tachycardia.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND NECK WITH PERFUSION INDICATION: ___ with aphasia, negative noncontrast CT at ___. Evaluate for acute thrombosis. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Subsequently, rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during infusion of Omnipaque intravenous contrast material. CT perfusion studies also performed. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: DLP: 3754.96 mGy-cm; CTDI: 367.04 mGy COMPARISON: CTA head and neck of ___. FINDINGS: HEAD CT: Multiple chronic infarcts are again seen, including the right thalamus, caudate, and left carina radiata/lentiform nucleus/external capsule, the latter with associated ex vacuo enlargement of the anterior body of the left lateral ventricle. There also confluent areas of low density in the subcortical, deep, and periventricular white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, nonspecific but the sequela of chronic microangiopathy. There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage and no evidence for an acute major vascular territorial infarct. There is stable global cerebral volume loss with associated prominence of the ventricles and sulci. No suspicious blastic or lytic osseous lesions. Moderate mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinuses as well as partial opacification of the ethmoid air cells and milder mucosal thickening of the frontal and sphenoid sinuses are identified. The mastoid air cells middle ear cavities are well pneumatized and clear. CT PERFUSION: Nondiagnostic secondary to technical factors. NECK CTA: There is common origin of the right brachiocephalic and left common carotid arteries. The carotid and vertebral arteries and their major branches are patent with no evidence of stenoses. There is mild atherosclerotic calcification of the bilateral carotid bifurcations without cervical internal carotid stenosis by NASCET criteria. There is a retropharyngeal course of the left common and cervical internal carotid arteries. HEAD CTA: Atherosclerotic calcification of the bilateral cavernous and supra clinoid ICAs is noted without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis. Anterior and middle cerebral arteries are patent. The right vertebral artery is diminutive distal to the ___ with a calcification at the mid V4 segment and apparent chronic occlusion of the distal V4 segment. The left vertebral artery is dominant. There is no flow-limiting stenosis elsewhere in the posterior circulation. There is fetal origin of the right PCA. There is no evidence for an aneurysm. OTHER: There is bronchiectasis and bronchial wall thickening in the visualized upper lungs bilaterally, with a bronchial thickening apparently new compared to ___, which may be infectious or an fine. The upper lobe demonstrates a calcified granuloma and there are multiple calcified mediastinal lymph nodes, compatible with prior granulomatous disease. Palatine and left lingual tonsilliths are identified. There is mass effect on the posterior aspect of the left pharynx secondary to retropharyngeal course of the left common and internal carotid arteries. There is no evidence for an exophytic mucosal mass. Severe multilevel cervical spondylosis resulting in spinal canal narrowing and neural foraminal narrowing is identified, previously assessed by MRI on ___. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for acute intracranial abnormalities on noncontrast head CT. Nondiagnostic CT perfusion study due to technical factors. 2. Multiple chronic infarcts are again seen in the right thalamus, left caudate, and left lentiform nucleus/corona radiata/external capsule. 3. No flow-limiting arterial stenosis in the neck. 4. Unchanged atherosclerotic occlusion of the distal V4 segment of the non dominant right vertebral artery. 5. Bronchiectasis in the visualized upper lungs with apparent new bronchial wall thickening compared to ___, which may represent superimposed infectious/inflammatory process versus technical differences.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with episodic global aphasia. Seizure protocol please. // Seizure protocol please! TECHNIQUE: Axial susceptibility and diffusion axial images of the brain acquired. Sagittal 3D FLAIR images were obtained. Coronal fast inversion recovery images were acquired. Coronal post there is generalized parenchymal volume loss with commensurate enlargement of the ventricles, sulci, and cisterns. Gadolinium MPRAGE images were obtained with axial and sagittal reformats. COMPARISON: CTA head ___ FINDINGS: There is a 6 mm focus of slowed diffusion with corresponding FLAIR signal abnormality in the left temporal lobe along the sylvian fissure, consistent with an acute infarct (series 402, image 20 and series 300b, image 47). No additional acute infarcts are identified. There are numerous chronic infarcts of the coronal radiata, bilateral basal ganglia, and bilateral thalami. There are numerous patchy and confluent foci of FLAIR hyperintensity in the subcortical, deep, and periventricular white matter, consistent with severe chronic microangiopathy. There may be hemosiderin associated with some of these old infarcts. There is focal ex vacuo dilatation of the left lateral ventricle adjacent to old infarcts. There is moderate generalized chronic volume loss with commensurate prominence of the ventricles, sulci, and cisterns. There is a cavum septum pellucidum et vergae, a developmental variant. The V4 segment of the right vertebral artery is occluded, as seen CTA from ___. The major intracranial vessels otherwise demonstrate normal patency. Coronal high-resolution images asymmetric enlargement of the right temporal horn relative to the left, although the hippocampi by appear normal in morphology and signal. There is no evidence of migration abnormality identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Small 6 mm acute to subacute infarct of the left temporal lobe. No associated mass effect. 2. Numerous chronic infarcts of the cerebral white matter, bilateral basal ganglia, and thalami. Severe chronic microangiopathy. 3. Moderate generalized parenchymal volume loss. 4. Asymmetric enlargement of the right temporal horn, although this appears to be due to adjacent temporal lobe volume loss rather than specifically volume loss of the right hippocampus. 5.

Mr. ___ is an ___ year old left handed man who presented with isolated global aphasia similar to a prior MRI-negative episode in ___ thought to be seizure vs stroke. Initially, given the exam and the identical nature of his current aphasia to an MRI-negative spell in ___, seizure was higher consideration than stroke. However, EEG showed no epileptiform activity. It showed left greater than right slowing. Previous EEG showed right greater than left slowing. However, due to the clinical suspicion for seizure, whether of unknown etiology or secondary to stroke, we have increased his Keppra 1000mg BID. Although the initial CT was negative, an MRI showed a small posterior insular cortex. His stroke risk factors have been assessed. He is currnetly on Atorvastatin 40mg qday. His last LDL was 66. He has afib and is currently on Coumadin 2mg with theurapeutic INRs. His INR on discharge was 3.1. His INR will continue to be trended by his primary care doctor. We were going to obtain an Echo since his last Echo was ___, however, the result will not change management. He will follow up with his outpatient Neurologist. In regards to pulmonary, Mr. ___ had some wheezing on inital exam that improved throughout the hospital course. He had a CTA that showed bronchiectasis visualized in the upper lungs with apparent new bronchial wall thickening compared to ___, which may represent superimposed infectious/inflammatory process. Mr. ___ did endorse a recent viral illness. Additionally, Mr. ___ was found to have pancytopenia of unknown etiology. The pancytopenia improved over the course of the hospitalization. He will follow up with his outpatient primary care doctor.

BRIEF SUMMARY ============= Ms. ___ is a ___ with a PMH of A-fib on warfarin, R MCA stroke, HTN, and dementia who presented to ___ with falls and injuries to her left arm. She was found to have evidence of necrotizing fasciitis of the left arm likely secondary to a wound sustained after a recent fall. She was admitted to the plastic surgery service and underwent significant debridement of the left arm from above the elbow to the dorsum of the hand, with a washout several days later and skin grafting a few days later. Her initial operation was complicated by Afib w/ RVR, and she required an ICU stay for BP support. After achieving stable vitals, she was transferred to the floor. For the supratherapeutic INR, she was given FFP and vitamin K. She was continued on her metoprolol for her Afib, but subsequently developed bradycardia, which held stable until discharge. She was started on Apixaban for anticoagulation and was discharged to rehab after her wound vac was taken down. ACUTE ISSUES ============ #L elbow necrotizing fasciitis: The patient was recently hospitalized at ___ for a supratherapeutic INR ___ the setting of poor PO intake. After discharge, she suffered several falls resulting ___ a wound on her left elbow, which became progressively more reddened and swollen. The day prior to presentation, she noted blisters on her forearm and was taken to the ED. ___ the ED, she was noted to have e/o necrotizing soft tissue infection on exam. She was started on vancomycin, clindamcyin, and meropenem and taken to the OR, where the L arm was extensively debrided. Her OR course was complicated by A-fib w/ RVR requiring multiple doses of esmolol. She was briefly admitted to the TSICU w/ intubation, pressor support, and close monitoring, then transferred to the plastic surgery service. Her wound cultures revealed group A strep, and her antibiotics were switched to clindamycin and ceftriaxone per ID. The patient was subsequently transferred to the medicine floor, and was taken back to the OR for a washout, again for a skin graft placement, and then again for wound vac takedown (done at bedside). Her clindamycin was discontinued with plans to continue her Ceftriaxone for 2 weeks post-debridement. She remained afebrile with negative cultures and was discharged to rehab. SURGICAL/ICU COURSE: Data upon admission: WBC 23, Cr 2, Na 147, lactate 5.5, fascial plane air on plain films, and necrotic bullae formation. INR was 7 and she was given 2 units FFP and IV vitamin K x 1. She was taken to the OR once INR down to 2.4 a few hours later. Patient was tachycardic and somnolent ___ the ED, but maintaining her pressure. ___ OR, she developed A-fib w/ RVR requiring multiple bouts of esmolol before starting the case. She was maintained on neo throughout case. The patient was taken to the OR and circumferentially debrided soft tissue of entire left forearm, dorsal and including some digital soft tissue, down to the elbow proximally. Much of the dorsal tendons paratenon had to be removed, adaptic placed on this before the VAC. Circumferential VAC applied on 75 mmHg, intermittent suction. The patient was transferred to the ICU post-surgery for blood pressure support with pressor therapy. Pressor therapy was discontinued on hospital day #2. Patient given digoxin load for a-fib with RVR. Patient restarted her amlodipine on hospital day #4 and she was also started on PO Lopressor with good control. The patient was maintained intubated and on ventilator until she was able to be weaned from vent on hospital day #2. Post-operatively, the patient was given IV fluids. An NG tube was inserted and coffee ground gastric contents were drained, guaiac positive. Patient was started on IV pantoprazole and monitored closely. On hospital day#4, patient pulled out her NG tube. Her diet was advanced when appropriate, which was tolerated well. She was also started on a bowel regimen to encourage bowel movement. Wound cultures revealed beta streptococcus group A and patient's antibiotic therapy to changed to ceftriaxone and clindamycin per Infectious Disease. #A-fib with RVR: At home, the patient is controlled with metoprolol 25 mg BID and anticoagulated with warfarin 5 mg. The patient was noted on admission to have a supratherapeutic INR, requiring vitamin K and FFP. As noted above, the patient developed A-fib with RVR during her initial OR course, requiring several doses of esmolol, with subsequent hypotension and pressor requirement ___ the ICU. On the medicine floor, she was noted to be ___ A-fib with controlled rate on metoprolol 25 mg BID, however she subsequently converted to sinus rhythm with bradycardia. Her metoprolol dose was decreased to 12.5 mg BID for this. Regarding her anticoagulation, because of her need to go to the OR several times, the patient was maintained on a heparin drip. After a discussion with her son (HCP), he felt that the risks of anticoagulation ___ the setting of her falls were outweighed by the risks of stroke, so felt that she should be anticoagulated at discharge. Given her INR lability, she was started on Apixiban on the day of discharge. She was discharged on 12.5 bid metoprolol with holding parameters (to be administered if HR ?60). #Supratherapeutic INR: The patient was hospitalized ___ ___ for a supratherapeutic INR ___ the setting of poor PO intake, and was again found to have a supratherapeutic INR during this admission. See above two problems for further detail. #Sinus bradycardia: Patient ___ A-fib at admission which converted to sinus rhythm during her floor course. Bradycardia likely due to metoprolol effect. She was also noted to have occasional atrial and ventricular ectopy on telemetry. She remained asymptomatic during her course. Metoprolol adjusted per above. #Anemia: Likely secondary to post-op blood loss combined with dilutional effect. H/H slowly trended down and required a transfusion of 1 u pRBCs on the day of discharge. #Malnutrition: The patient was noted to have poor PO intake with no dysphagia.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Discharge Condition: Mental Status: Clear and coherent. Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: Chest pain. COMPARISON: CT from ___. FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest demonstrate chronic appearing opacities in the right lower lobe as well as elevation of the right hemidiaphragm. These findings are consistent with atelectasis/volume loss. The left lung is essentially clear. The cardiac silhouette is normal in size. There is tortuosity of the aorta. In addition, a convex bulge of the left upper mediastinum is once again present, but this is due to vascular structures and aberrant subclavian artery as was seen on the recent CT. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report HISTORY: Headache. TECHNIQUE: CT of the head without IV contrast. CTDIvol: 60 mGy DLP: 1026 mGy-cm COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, mass effect, shift of the normally midline structures or infarction. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved throughout. Ventricles and sulci are normal in size. A subtle hyperdensity located in near the right cerebellar tonsil is thought to be artifactual (2, 4) No osseous or soft tissue abnormalities. Mastoid air cells are well aerated. Paranasal sinuses are well aerated. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial process. Radiology Report HISTORY: Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia presents with findings of blurry vision. Is there any carotid disease. COMPARISON: No relevant comparisons available. FINDINGS: Grayscale and doppler examination of both common carotid, internal carotid, external carotid and vertebral artery was performed. The right carotid vasculature has mild heterogeneous plaque. The left carotid vasculature has no plaque. There is normal flow in the vertebral arteries bilaterally. The right common carotid artery had peak systolic/diastolic velocities of 58/18 cm/sec in its proximal, 71/21 cm/sec in its mid and 70/21 cm/sec in its distal portion. The peak systolic velocity was 69 cm/sec in the common carotid, 80 cm/sec in the external carotid and 30 cm/sec in the vertebral artery. The right ICA/CCA ratio is 1.0. The left common carotid artery had peak systolic/diastolic velocities of 63/18 cm/sec in its proximal, 71/28 cm/sec in its mid and 56/19 cm/sec in its distal portion. The peak systolic velocity was 82 cm/sec in the common carotid, 86 cm/sec in the external carotid and 43 cm/sec in the vertebral artery. The left ICA/CCA ratio is 0.86. IMPRESSION: Less than 40% stenosis on the right and no atherosclerotic plaque noted on the left.

BRIEF SUMMARY STATEMENT: Ms. ___ is a ___ year old female with PMH significant for DM type II on insulin, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, NAFLD, and hx. of pulmonary embolism at ___ y/o on OCPs who presents with acute onset headache, blurred vision, and chest pain. The patient's symptoms occured in the setting of elevated blood pressures likely consistent with an episode of hypertensive emergency. # Chest Pain: The pt. has history of similar type of chest pain, not necessarily related to activity and more related to anxiety type events. On this admission, her chest pain occurred in the setting of elevated blood pressures in the 220s/120s. Her chest pain slowly improved as her blood pressures improved. She was found to have a mildly elevated troponin at 0.02. Her troponin peaked at this level and slowly returned to normal. It was thought that the mechanism of her chest pain is related to transient ischemic injury from increased cardiac demand in the setting of high afterload with significantly elevated blood pressures. This type of mechanism supports an episode of hypertensive emergency as there is evidence of end organ damage. The patient's EKG was without significant change (Sinus rhythm with LBBB) other than a slight change in QRS morphology in the lateral leads likely attributable to lead placement. Stress test showed possible anginal type symptoms in the setting of Persantine infusion, with uninterpretable ST segment changes for ischemia in the setting of LBBB. Nuclear perfusion test showed decreased cardiac output of 47%, down from 70% previously. The patient was asymptomatic during her stay. She will follow up with cardiology as an outpatient. # Headache and Blurry Vision: The patient presented with acute onset left-sided supraorbital sharp pain associated with blurry vision that lasted approximately 5 minutes. The quick onset and remission of these symptoms in the setting of significantly elevated blood pressures is consistent with hypertensive emergency causing end organ damage manifested in this case by blurry vision and headache. Other diagnoses we considered were transient ischemic attach from sometype of embolic event. The patient was noted to be in sinus rhythm without evidence of atrial fibrillation. A carotid ultrasound was performed which showed Less than 40% stenosis on the right and no atherosclerotic plaque noted on the lef. This made an embolic event less likely. Her neurologic exam remained non-focal and she remained hemodynamically stable throughout admission. # Hypertension: The patient's blood pressure at home before admission was in the 220s. However, during admission the patient's blood pressure was well controlled. The patient was continued on lisinopril 40mg PO daily and HCTZ 12.5mg PO daily. CHRONIC ISSUES # Diabetes Mellitus: Stable. The patient was continued lantus 34 units in the AM and on a humalog insulin sliding scale. # Constipation with Right upper quadrant pain: The patient reported a chronic history of stable abdominal pain since antibiotic treatment several months ago for her pneumonia. She denied a history of diarrhea, however she does endorse significant constipation associated with RUQ abdominal pain. This was managed with constipation regimen. # Chronic Cough: Likely related to the lisinopril. The patient was tried on losartan in the past and was not able to tolerate secondary to GI upset. As such, will continue lisinopril. # Hyperlipidemia: Pt. with known history however is no longer taking statin ___ myalgias. She is also not taking primary prophylaxis with aspirin ___ gastric intolerance # GERD: Stable. Continued on omeprazole TRANSITIONAL ISSUES #Hypertension Management: We discharged the patient on her home regimen; however it is unclear why the patient's blood pressure was in the 220s at home before admission. She may need increased blood pressure control and should be monitored.

========= Summary ========= ___ year old man with PMH of GERD, CVA, DMII, celiac disease, pressure ulcer on coccyx, depression and poor hearing who presented with GI bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed stercoral ulcer. Hgb stabilized, no further bleeding. ============================= Acute Medical/Surgical Issues ============================= # GI Bleed: # Acute blood loss anemia Patient presented with hgb drop in the setting of dark stools without hematemesis with a history of GERD on daily aspirin. No history of liver disease, malignancy, trauma. Required 3 units pRBC and 1 unit FFP and H/H stabilized with no further melena/hematochezia. BPs recovered with blood and fluid. EGD unrevealing. Colonoscopy on ___ revealed a stercoral ulcer in the rectum with no signs of bleeding. Biopsies were take which are pending at discharge. His home aspirin 81 was held but restarted at discharge. # Hypotension: initially hypotensive to ___ (baseline is 100s systolic), felt to be related to hypovolemia/blood loss. He was pancultured without revealing infectious source to contribute to a sepsis etiology of hypotension. BP improved to 95-105 systolics which appears to be his baseline. #DMII: Hyperglycemic on admission, unclear etiology but could be due to stress of infection or bleed. Given that he is NPO, dosed reduced home insulin regimen of glargine 14U qHS with ISS while on clear liquid/NPO diet here. Once diet resumed, restarted on home dose. CHRONIC # Coccyx wound: in the setting of bedbound status and potential malnutrition. Wound does not currently look infected on admission. CRP low making osteo less likely. Wound care was consulted and recommended pressure relief per pressure ulcer guidelines with turn and reposition every ___ hours and prn off affected area. Nutrition consulted and given celiacs disease, started on supplementation with vitamin C, zinc sulfate for 14 days, vitamin D, and calcium carbonate. # Potential HIV Chart diagnosis without labs or medications by history. Patient confused and does not know if he has diagnosis. CD4 and HIV viral load negative making HIV unlikely. Would remove from past medical history #CAD primary prevention: continued Atorvastatin 20 mg PO QPM and restarted ASA at discharge. #Constipation: Stercoral ulcer likely developed in setting of chronic constipation.

Patient called the office of Dr. ___ she had recurrent chills for the past few days with fevers up to 101.5. She was told to go to the ED for further care. In regards to her recent oncologic history, patient initially presented at OSH in ___ with worsening of her chronic dyspnea where CT showed innumerable lung nodules and LUL mass as well as infiltrative hypodense mass in segment 8 of the liver concerning for malignancy. She was transferred to ___ where she underwent ultrasound-guided biopsy of this liver lesion on ___ and underwent bronchoscopy with biopsy/brush, bronchoalveolar lavage and EBUS-TBNA on ___, which demonstrated adenocarcinoma. A subsequent PET scan/liver biopsy confirmed revealed multiple FDG avid nodules in the lung and solitary hepatic metastasis. She was also found to have an indeterminate brain lesion which has been stable on subsequent MRIs and for which she has neuro onc f/u arranged. She was started on palliative carboplatin, Pemetrexed, Pembrolizumab IV q3weeks on ___. Past Medical History: PAST ONCOLOGIC HISTORY: In ___, an asymmetry was noted in the anterior third of the superior right breast on screening mammography. Her tissue density was B. The following day, she had compression views and the area did not persist. Annual followup was recommended. This year, on ___, she underwent a bilateral examination showing another area of focal asymmetry in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. She underwent a diagnostic mammogram of this and the area showed a small persistent mass during spot compression. This was separate and distinct from the area evaluated a year earlier. An ultrasound of this showed a 6-mm hypoechoic mass that was 8 cm from the nipple at 10 o'clock. A biopsy was performed and a clip was placed on ___. Pathology showed invasive ductal carcinoma with some lobular features. This was interpreted as grade I to II. There was intermediate nuclear grade DCIS as well. The estrogen receptor was highly positive with progesterone receptor that was low positive. HER-2 was negative. She subsequently had an excision performed by Dr. ___. This showed no residual cancer. Hence, her lesion was entirely removed during the core procedure. A sentinel node was also negative. Thus, her final stage based on microscopic measurement of the invasive component was a T1a 4 mm tumor that we interpreted as a grade I. The estrogen receptor was positive at 95% and progesterone receptor positive at 1%-10%.

FINDINGS: Single supine AP view of the chest. No prior. There are increased interstitial markings throughout the lungs, which could reflect chronic underlying interstitial process. There is more dense consolidation with irregularity identified at the right lung base medially overlying the cardiac silhouette. Elsewhere, the lungs are clear of confluent consolidation. Cardiac silhouette is enlarged, potentially accentuated by positioning and technique. Degenerative changes are noted at the shoulders bilaterally. No other definite displaced fracture is identified. Degenerative changes noted in the upper lumbar spine. IMPRESSION: Increased interstitial markings at the lungs, potentially in part due to technique with possible chronic underlying parenchymal disease. Region of increased opacity at the right lung base medially for which dedicated two-view chest x-ray suggested to further characterize. Radiology Report RIGHT ELBOW, THREE VIEWS: ___. HISTORY: ___ female with fall on right elbow. FINDINGS: AP, lateral, and oblique views of the right elbow. No prior. There is an acute fracture identified through the olecranon process of the ulna. There is no significant displacement or angulation. There is a large associated elbow joint effusion. Elsewhere, osseous structures are intact without evidence of other fracture. IMPRESSION: Acute fracture through the olecranon process with associated elbow joint effusion. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with fall on the right elbow and low back pain. Evaluate for fracture. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: Single AP view of the pelvis along with one single view of the left hip. FINDINGS: A left-sided total hip replacement is in place with no evidence of hardware complications or ___ lucencies. Vascular calcifications are noted throughout the leg. Degenerative changes are seen in the lower lumbar spine as well as the right hip with joint space narrowing and increased sclerosis. An apparent increased sclerosis of the right hemipelvis could be due to overlying soft tissues. No acute fractures or dislocations are identified. IMPRESSION: No acute fractures. Radiology Report CHEST, TWO VIEWS: ___. HISTORY: Followup right basilar opacity on portable exam. FINDINGS: AP and lateral views of the chest are compared to portable film from earlier the same day. Right basilar opacity on this two-view exam is less conspicuous. There is, however, mildly increased density in this region likely due to costochondral calcifications superimposed on probable bibasilar bronchiectasis/scarring. Lungs are clear of large confluent consolidation. There is no definite pulmonary vascular congestion. Cardiac silhouette is slightly enlarged. Lower thoracic/upper lumbar compression deformity is suspected due to acute kyphosis in this region. However, cortical margins are difficult to delineate given osteopenia and overlying diaphragmatic contours. IMPRESSION: No definite acute cardiopulmonary process. Right basilar opacity on portable x-ray likely due to confluence of shadows from costochondral calcifications and suspected bibasilar scarring and bronchiectasis. Suspected ___ thoracic/lumbar compression deformity, age indeterminate without prior.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: extubation, rib fractures, evaluation. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the monitoring and support devices are unchanged. No change in appearance of the cardiac silhouette and of the lung parenchyma, with exception of a minimal blunting of the left costophrenic sinus. This, however, could be positional. The known right rib fractures are less well seen than on the previous examination. No current evidence for the presence of a pneumothorax. Radiology Report HISTORY: Fall and rib fractures. COMPARISON: ___ through ___. FINDINGS: A single semi-upright portable chest radiograph was obtained. There is marked enlargement of the mediastinal contours since the prior exam yesterday at 6:00. In particular of the ascending aorta is enlarged. There is also enlargement of the aortic arch to a lesser extent. There are new bilateral pleural effusions and right lower lobe consolidation. There is no pneumothorax. Impression IMPRESSION: Marked enlargement of the aortic contour, particularly the ascending aorta over the last 24 hours. A CTA of the chest should be considered to exclude acute aortic process. Discussed with Dr ___ phone at approximately 0830 on ___. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Widening mediastinum on chest x-ray. Evaluation. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient is now less rotated. Previously enlarged mediastinal and hilar structures on the right appear again within normal range. Moderate middle and lower lobe collapse on the right. Moderate cardiomegaly without evidence of overt pulmonary edema. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Right lower lobe collapse, evaluation. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient is rotated. There is, however, no relevant change. Moderate cardiomegaly with tortuosity of the thoracic aorta. The tortuosity is exaggerated by the rightward rotation of the patient. No pleural effusions. Mild fluid overload but no overt pulmonary edema. No pneumonia. Mild right and left lower lobe atelectasis are constant in appearance. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Line placement. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has received a right-sided PICC line. The course of the line is unremarkable, the tip of the line projects over the mid SVC. There is no evidence of a complication, notably no pneumothorax. Lung volumes have increased, causing a further decrease in size and extent of the pre-described right basilar opacity. Borderline size of the cardiac silhouette. Tortuosity of the thoracic aorta. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female status post fall. Evaluate for pneumonia. COMPARISON: Multiple prior examinations dated through ___. FINDINGS: Portable semi-erect radiograph demonstrates improved bilateral aeration. There is continued vascular congestion that may be improved although this can be secondarily related to improved aeration. There is bilateral basilar atelectasis with a possible small left pleural effusion. No new focal consolidation. No pneumothorax. The right-sided PICC is seen at the level of the mid SVC. IMPRESSION: No pneumonia. Continued but improved vascular congestion possibly related to better aeration. Radiology Report HISTORY: Intubated. TECHNIQUE: Portable AP view of the chest. COMPARISON: None. The patient is listed as EU critical at the time of study interpretation. FINDINGS: Endotracheal tube tip terminates approximately 5.2 cm from the carina. Enteric tube is noted with tip located within the stomach. The heart size is top normal. The aorta is tortuous and diffusely calcified. Mediastinal and hilar contours are otherwise unremarkable. There is no pulmonary vascular congestion. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax is demonstrated. Acute fractures of the right ___ and ___ lateral ribs are noted. Remote fracture of the left ___ lateral rib and ___ right posterior rib are also demonstrated. Partially imaged is hardware within the right humeral head. IMPRESSION: 1. Standard positioning of the endotracheal and enteric tubes. 2. Right ___ and ___ acute lateral rib fractures. Radiology Report HISTORY: Fall from standing, subdural hematoma, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, evaluate for extension of bleed. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained from the brain without the administration of IV contrast material. Reformatted coronal and sagittal and thin section bone algorithm reconstructed images were obtained. COMPARISON: Non-enhanced CT of the head from ___ at 9:03 a.m. at ___ (patient's name is ___, but patient is currently listed as EU Critical). FINDINGS: There is interval increase in subarachnoid hemorrhage within the prepontine and perimesencephalic cistern, now involving not only the interpeduncular cistern (2:12), but also extending inferiorly into the premedullary cistern and involving the crural cisterns bilaterally, approaching the ambient cisterns (602b:36). There is small amount of intraventricular hemorrhage seen within the bilateral occipital horns of the lateral ventricles and fourth ventricle (2:8,15). There is no evidence of hydrocephalus or interval change in ventricular size. A small subdural layering hematoma along the left cerebellar tentorium is stable from prior scan (601b:29). A 6-mm left occipital subarachnoid hemorrhage is also stable in appearance (601b:83,2:16). Prominent ventricles and sulci are likely secondary to age-related atrophy. There is no evidence of acute vascular territorial infarction. There is preservation of normal gray-white matter differentiation, and the basilar cisterns appear patent. No shift of midline structures is seen. Please refer to the facial bone CT from earlier today for detailed evaluation of facial fractures. The globes are intact. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval enlargement of the subarachnoid hemorrhage involving the perimesencephalic cistern, as well as the pre-pontine and pre-medullary cisterns. 2. Small intraventricular hemorrhage within the bilateral occipital horns of the lateral ventricles and fourth ventricle without evidence of hydrocephalus. 3. Stable 6 mm left occipital subarachnoid hemorrhage. 4. Stable small subdural hemorrhage layering along the left cerebellar tentorium. Radiology Report HISTORY: Subdural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage, evaluate for interval change. COMPARISON: Non-contrast head CT ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained of the head without contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the coronal and sagittal planes as well as thin section bone algorithm images. DLP: 1003.42 mGy-cm. CTDIvol: 51.12 mGy. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is re-demonstration of subarachnoid hemorrhage layering within the pre-pontine and perimesencephalic cistern, unchanged from ___. Small amount of blood in the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles and fourth ventricle is unchanged. Trace subdural hematoma layering along the superior margin of the left tentorium cerebelli is unchanged. A rounded focus of subarachnoid blood in a left medial occipital sulcus is also unchanged. No new focus of hemorrhage is identified. There is no edema, mass effect or evidence of a new large vascular territorial infarct. Moderate cerebral atrophy with prominent ventricles and sulci is again seen. Previously noted left maxillary alveolar ridge fracture is not fully included in the field of view. There is mild right and moderate left ethmoid air cell mucosal thickening, mild mucosal thickening or fluid in the inferior frontal sinuses, and fluid within the sphenoid air cells, which may be related to endotracheal and orogastric intubation. The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are well aerated. IMPRESSION: No change in intracranial hemorrhage compared to ___. No evidence of new intracranial abnormalities.

Mrs. ___ was admitted to our institution after being transferred from an outside hospital where she was brought in by ambulance after sustaining mechanical fall face forward while showering. Reportedly, patient was intubated at OSH for airway protection after an episode of bloody emesis. Upon arrival she was sedated and had visible diffuse facial ecchymosis and a lip laceration. Repeat imaging studies showed interval increase in prepontine and interpeduncular subarachnoid hemorrhage tracking inferiorly, and confirmed the presence of a small intraventricular and a left subdural hemorrhage. Given findings, the neurosurgery team was consulted and recommended conservative management and monitoring for further interval changes. Patient was thus admitted to the ___ for further care. Regarding her facial injuries, the ___ team was consulted to assess the lip laceration and dental injuries. Evaluation and repair was initially difficult given the presence of an endotracheal tube. A repeat head CT scan showed no interval changes 24 hours later. Upon stabilization of her respiratory status, patient was extubated on hospitalization day #1. A tertiary survey revealed no further injuries. At this point, ___ was able to repair the lip laceration. There was avulsion of tooth #9, as well as mild mobility in teeth #8 and 10. At this point, decision was made not to place a dental splint given time elapsed from injury and questioned benefit from it. She was advised to stay on a full-liquid diet and follow-up with outside dentist once medically stable for definitive care. On hospitalization day #2 patient was started on ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection (confirmed by urinalysis and cultures positive for Klebsiella). Home medications were restarted upon diet tolerance, except for Plavix, to be held for one week post-injuries per neurosurgery recommendations. Given favorable response, she was transferred to the floor on hospitalization day #4. Foley catheter was then removed and patient had several episodes of incontinence. Anticipating discharge, physical therapy was consulted and determined need for extensive ___ rehab. Case management was involved in the rehab selection process. At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. She was tolerating a full-liquids diet, and pain was well controlled. The patient's family members and aide received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan.

He was transferred from a scheduled office visit to our ED today due to his PCP's concern that he had a stroke or TIA yesterday. We (Neurology) were consulted to evaluate after the ED got a story of LUE weakness (since resolved) and found a facial droop on exam. Mr. ___ was in his USOH (with a couple exceptions, see below) until yesterday around 2:30 pm. At that time, he was awakened from a nap in his chair by the phone ringing. He reached out to grab it with is Left hand and realized he could not grasp the receiver. This problem continued for the next half hour or so, but within a few hours his hand was back to full strength. He does not recall numbness in his hand or face(the ED resident got a history of F/A numbness, obtained from the same patient less than an hour earlier). No symptoms in the Left leg at any time. He doesn't think his speech was any different yesterday or today than recently, but recently ___ months), he has noticed intermittent difficulty finding his words. This has an episodic character to it, and some friends have pointed it out to him. Indeed, several times during our interview, the pt stopped answering my questions for several seconds and looked down. He denies any history of seizures. He has, however, noticed intermittent twitching movements of his hands on and off over the past year or two (I think this is asterixis, see Exam). He has been having difficulty walking recently due to a gout flare in his Right knee, but the leg is not weak. He uses a cane to walk during these flares, for help with pain, not for imbalance or difficulty controlling his legs. Review of Systems: negative except as above No vision or hearing change.

___ male with PMHx HTN who is presenting with altered mental status, found to have acute renal injury and was emergently dialyzed for uremia and hyperkalemia. # Acute renal injury: Patient presenting with acute kidney injury (BUN 184, Cr 41). Patient's Cr has been trending up over the past ___ years (1.1 in ___, 1.5 in ___. In the ED he was underwent a bedside ultrasound, which showed bilateral hydronephrosis, an enlarged prostate, with 3+ liters in his bladder. Given that he had a PSA of 30 in ___, most likely cause thought to be obstructive uropathy secondary to enlarged prostate or prostate malignancy. Patient had foley placed by urology which initially revealed clear urine which quickly become bloody, consistent with hemorrhagic decompression. Patient emergently dialyzed overnight for uremia and hyperkalemia with improvement in electrolyte abnormalities. He was started on tamsulosin. Following emergent dialysis, renal function ultimately improved with discharge Cr of 1.2 and normal electrolytes. Though patient previously declined work up for prostate cancer, he will follow up with urology as an outpatient. # Altered Mental Status: Patient's altered mental status initially alert and oriented only to person likely secondary to toxic metabolic encephalopathy in the setting of uremia and gross electrolyte abnormalities. Following treatment of obstructive uropathy with dialysis and foley placement, his mental status significantly improved. Patient was alert and oriented x3 at time of discharge. # Hypertensive Urgency: Patient severely hypertensive on admission, BP 234/101. Patient had not taken meds in a couple of days prior to admission and it is unknown how long patient has been hypertensive. Patient was given 10 mg IV Hydralazine overnight and was started on Amlodipine in the ICU. Patient's BPs stabilized with amlodipine 5mg daily. His lisinopril was held in the setting of ___, and his home hydralazine was stopped with the initiation of tamsulosin. # Social Issues: At baseline, patient was living at home independently and taking care of sick wife. During admission, family raised concerns for safety to care for himself at home alone. Reportedly, family went to the home and saw blood and garbage and disarray that was concerning. Social work was consulted and their team began filing documentation to Elder Protective Services. ====================== TRANSITIONAL ISSUES ====================== - Patient will have followup with urology for workup of enlarged prostate and possible cystoscopy. - Patient's foley should remain in place until urology followup. - Patient was found to have anemia in the setting of hematuria. He should have a repeat h/h on ___. - The patient's electrolytes have largely normalized, but he continues to have low phosphorus levels. Lytes, including phos, should be checked on ___ to assess levels. - Due to concern for inadequate housing situation, Elder Services was notified, and will follow up on any need for increased services. - The patient's lisinopril was held in the setting of ___, and hydralazine was held after he was started on tamsulosin. He was started on amlodipine and tamsulosin in the hospital. He may need additional blood pressure medication titration in the outpatient setting. # CONTACT: wife ___ ___ # CODE STATUS: Full (confirmed)

___ is a ___ female with a history of head and neck cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the soft palate, uvula and tonsils who presents with malnutrition and dehydration. # Malnutrition, moderate # Dehydration # Squamous cell carcinoma of soft palate, uvula, tonsils At this point in time it appears that she is failing oral nutrition and hydration and needs enteral feeding via PEG tube. After multidisciplinary discussion with oncology, radiation oncology, patient's daughter/healthcare proxy and patient herself, decision was made to pursue PEG placement. PEG was placed uneventfully, and she was started on cycled tube feeds that were gradually transitioned to bolus feeding. The patient was discharged on self-administered bolus TFs (Jevity 1.5, one can (240mL), 5 times daily), which she was tolerating well prior to discharge. # Pancytopenia: Chemo related, monitoring CBC/Diff to evaluate for ANC, which nadired at 1020 during this hospitalization. In discussion with her outpatient oncologist, decision was made to hold off on her last scheduled chemotherapy cycle and re-evaluate in the outpatient setting.

Query infection vs necrotic neoplasm COMPARISON: CT chest ___. OPERATORS: Dr. ___ abdominal imaging fellow, Dr. ___ radiology resident, and Dr. ___ staff ___. PROCEDURE: The procedure, including risks, benefits and alternatives were explained to the patient, and after detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained from the patient. A time-out was performed using 3 unique patient identifiers prior to commencing the procedure utilizing the ___ protocol. A limited non contrast CT was performed through the area of interest with the patient in the supine position, and the skin was marked. The patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Approximately 7 cc of 1% lidocaine was utilized for local anesthesia. Using CT guidance, with the patient in the supine position, a 17 gauge guide coaxial needle was advanced into the left anterior mediastinum. Blunt needle dissection was utilized after the chest wall musculature had been traversed. 3cc of yellowish pus was aspirated. A 0.35 ___ wire was then advanced into the collection, and a further ___ of bloody pus was aspirated. Post aspiration residual phlegmon was demonstrated however there was no residual drainable cavity . The aspirated collection was too small for placement of a catheter. There was residual phlegmon demonstrated, however given the presence of pus/necrotic material, biopsy was not performed. 3cc sample of purulent material was sent for culture and sensitivity. There were no immediate postprocedural complications. The patient tolerated the procedure well. The patient received 75mcg of fentanyl and 1.5mg of Versed. The patient's vitals were continuously monitored by dedicated Radiology nursing. Total intra service time was 15 min. The attending radiologist Dr. ___ was present for the entire procedure. FINDINGS: Phlegmonous anterior mediastinal collection measuring approximately 6.0 x 3.2 cm. IMPRESSION: Successful CT guided aspiration of anterior mediastinal inflammatory collection. Sample has been sent for microbiology. Radiology Report HISTORY: Status post CT guided sampling of an anterior mediastinal phlegmon. TECHNIQUE: Frontal and lateral chest radiographs were obtained. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to CT chest dated ___. FINDINGS: The mediastinum is somewhat widened, and there is a vague opacity noted to be overlying the anterior mediastinum, consistent with the inflammatory phlegmon which was sampled on ___. There is a small left sided pleural effusion with minimal adjacent atelectasis noted. No pneumothorax, or pulmonary edema is identified. The heart size is normal. No bony abnormalities are detected. IMPRESSION: Somewhat widened appearance of the mediastinum, with a vague opacification overlying the anterior mediastinum. No evidence of pneumothorax. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 4:35 P.M. ___ HISTORY: ___ man with mediastinal infection after mediastinal washout. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to preoperative chest radiograph, ___: Left hemithorax is relatively stable, no pneumothorax or pleural effusion, three pleural tubes in place. New atelectasis and small effusion at the base of the right chest. Heart size normal. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 8:26 AM, ___ HISTORY: Mediastinal abscess after washout. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: New edema or hemorrhage has developed in the left lung. Small left pleural effusion is larger. No pneumothorax. Right lung is low in volume but grossly clear. Stomach is severely distended with gas. Two left apical pleural drains, unchanged. Heart size and mediastinal contours are partially obscured, but there may be widening in the region of the aortic arch. Dr. ___ was paged to discuss these findings. Radiology Report PORTABLE CHEST, ___ COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Two chest tubes remain in place in the left hemithorax, with no visible pneumothorax. Stable widening of cardiomediastinal contours. Diffuse interstitial thickening, combined with alveolar opacities in the left mid and lower lung region have slightly worsened in the interval, and may reflect either asymmetrical edema or pulmonary hemorrhage. Right lung is clear except for localized atelectasis at the right base. Moderate left and small right pleural effusions are unchanged. Radiology Report INDICATION: Unknown source mediastinal abscess. ? hepatomegaly, splenomegaly. COMPARISON: Outside CT of the chest ___. TECHNIQUE: Grayscale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen. FINDINGS: The liver is normal in echogenicity and echotexture without lesions, intra- or extra-hepatic biliary duct dilation. The gallbladder is normal without stones, wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. The portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. The midline structures including the aorta and pancreas are obscured by overlying bowel gas. However, small portions of the mid and distal aorta are normal in caliber. The right kidney measures 14.5 cm and is without hydronephrosis, mass or stone. Evaluation of the left upper quadrant is limited by overlying bandage and poor acoustic windows. The left kidney measures approximately 13.4 cm without evidence of gross hydronephrosis. The spleen is incompletely imaged. On the CT of ___ the spleen maximally measured 15 cm. Visualized portions of the IVC are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Normal-appearing liver not grossly enlarged and without focal lesion. 2. Poor visualization of the spleen and left kidney secondary to overlying bandages. On comparison CT of the chest limited view of the left spleen maximally measured 15 cm. Radiology Report PA AND LATERAL CHEST ___ COMPARISON: Study of earlier the same date. FINDINGS: One of three left chest tubes had been removed with a tiny left apical pneumothorax. Combined alveolar and interstitial opacities in the left lung have slightly improved, particularly in the mid lung region. There remains dense consolidation with air bronchograms at the left base. Right hemidiaphragm remains elevated with adjacent area of atelectasis. Small left partially loculated pleural effusion appears unchanged. Within the imaged portion of the upper abdomen, air-fluid levels are present within mildly distended loops of bowel, possibly due to postoperative ileus, but incompletely evaluated on this radiograph. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with mediastinal abscess MSSA, status post drainage and washed out, still with fevers, leukocytosis. Please assess abscess. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning of the chest was obtained from thoracic inlet to upper abdomen in supine position without administration of IV contrast. Axial images were reviewed in conjunction with multiplanar reconstruction. COMPARISON: Exam is compared to CT ___. FINDINGS: After drainage of the left anterior mediastinum fluid collection has markedly reduced, now with maximal diameters of 3.4 x 3.2 cm (S2:I20). It was of 5 x 4.3 cm in ___. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is unchanged since ___ with the largest lymph node in the prevascular space 2:20 measuring 1.4 x 1.2 cm. There is no peripheral lymphadenopathy. Thyroid gland is unremarkable. Heart size is normal with minimal pericardial effusion along the right anterior cardiac border 2:35. Low blood density is due to anemia 2:39. Small left pleural effusion is mainly intrafissural ___. Left posterior pleural drain has tip ending in the left apex medially 2:9. There is no right pleural effusion. ABDOMEN: Even though this exam is not tailored for abdominal imaging. Mild-to-moderate splenomegaly with maximal diameter of 16 cm 2:53 is unchanged since ___. Liver, adrenals glands, kidneys and pancreas are unremarkable. BONES: The appearance of the sternoclavicular joint and the first anterior costochondral cartilage is minimally changed since prior examination, bone involvment is questionable 2:19. There are no other bone lesions suspicious for infection. LUNGS AND AIRWAYS: Airways are patent to subsegmental level bilaterally. Small left anterior pneumothorax is likely postprocedural. Lung volume asymmetry is due to partial collapse of the left lung for previously described pneumothorax. Left lung parenchyma has increased attenuation with interlobular septal thickening suggestive of mild pulmonary edema 2:27. New band-like consolidation in the left lower lobe is likely due to atelectasis, however there are ground-glass nodular opacities and rounded opacity suggesting aspiration or pneumonia in the appropriate clinical setting. Increased atelectasis also of the right lower lobe is present. Right lung is otherwise clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval decrease of left anterior mediastinum collection with questionable involvement of the first anterior costochondral cartilage. 2. New left lower lobe disease is likely a combination of atelectasis and aspiration/pneumonia. Right lower lobe abnormality is likely atelectasis. 3. Increased density of the left lung is due to mild pulmonary edema, 4. Small left anterior pneumothorax is postprocedural. 5. Small left base pleural effusion Findings were reported to Dr. ___ at 8:30 p.m. by Dr. ___. Radiology Report HISTORY: Mediastinal abscess with chest tube withdrawn. FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, the left chest tube has been removed, and there is no definite pneumothorax. Continued low lung volumes. Extensive opacification in the left hemithorax persists, though appears to be improving. The hemidiaphragms again are not well seen, consistent with atelectatic changes and effusion. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: PICC line placement. AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to prior study obtained at 5:55 p.m. on ___. The right central venous line tip is at the level of low SVC/cavoatrial junction. Bibasilar atelectasis is present, unchanged. No definitive pneumothorax is seen.

Mr. ___ was admitted to the hospital and taken to Interventional Radiology for CT guided drainage of his anterior mediastinal abscess. Yellow pus was aspirated and he was placed on broad spectrum antibiotics. MSSA grew from that sample and he was scheduled for surgical washout. His WBC was 14K and he continued Vancomycin and Zosyn therapy. His admission blood and urine cultures were negative. On ___ he underwent a left video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and debridement of mediastinal abscess. He tolerated the procedure well and returned to the PACU ___ stable condition with 3 chest tubes ___ place for drainage. Following transfer to the Surgical floor he had adequate pain relief and his chest tubes remained ___ place. His WBC gradually trended down but he developed acute renal failure to a maximum creatinine of 2.7. His urine output was adequate and the renal service was consulted. They felt it may be due to a combination of multiple contrast studies as well as the use of high dose Ibuprofen during his episodes of severe pain. With adequate hydration his creatinie gradually decreased and he will remain off of NSAIDS and not receive contrast until his kidney function is back to normal. The Infectious Disease service followed him closely during his admission and ___ addition to pan culturing also recommended a cardiac echo which showed no vegetations. His antibiotics were tapered to Cefazolin with plans to change to Nafcillin once his renal function returned to normal. His chest tubes were gradually removed and he felt much better. He was afebrile and his WBC was normal. He had a palm sized area above his waist along the left posterolateral area which was minimally erythematous. It was well below the incisions or chest tube sites but was watched closely and remained stable. He underwent a chest CT on ___ which showed a decreased fluid collection. The plan will be to treat him with 6 weeks of IV antibiotics via a right PICC line which was placed on ___. His creatinine gradually decreased and on ___ was 1.6. At that time he was switched to Nafcillin for better coverage. he will receive this at home at 2 Gm every 4 hours which will continue through ___. The ___ will draw labs twice a week including CBC w/diff, chem 7, LFT's, ESR, CRP. If there is any trouble with his renal function the Infectious Disease service will adjust the medication. He will have an MRI of the chest on ___ to evaluate the collection and R/O any evidence of osteomylitis and will then follow up with Infectious Disease and Thoracic Surgery. After a long hospital course he was discharged to home on ___ aqnd will have ___ services to help with home IV antibiotic therapy and wound assessment.

Chief Complaint: Headache, Left arm weakness Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ year-old right-handed man with a history of myoclonic and abdominal seizures, undifferentiated mitochondrial disorder, migraines, and radiculoneuropathy, recent prolonged hospitalization in ___ for perforated diverticulitis s/p ___ repair and stomal retraction, now s/p reversal of colostomy who presents for evaluation of an 11 day history of progressively severe headache and left arm weakness. History provided by the patient. Patient reports he was in his usual state of health until 11 days prior to presentation. At that time, he began developing gradual onset of a headache. The headache was different than his baseline headaches, which are discussed below. This pain was different and that it was described as pain "deep inside"his head, located over the occipital region with radiation towards the left neck. He notes that it was somewhat similar to the headache he experienced after having a post epidural headache during his recent hospitalization in ___. However, it is different from even that headache in that it is not as severe and is associated with left arm weakness. When the headache started 11 days ago, he did not make much of the headache as it was quite mild in severity. He was able to go about his usual activities. ___ days after the headache started, he tried taking his home Zomig nasal spray, which typically aborts his migraines, and it did not help. He also tried taking over-the-counter Tylenol, Aleve, and Advil without relief. Over the last 11 days, the pain gradually became more severe and more debilitating. The pain began to spread throughout his head, not just occipital but spread into the right temporal area, and then the left temporal area. The headache eventually became so severe, that it did wake him up from sleep multiple times (he is explicit about this). Headache is not worsened with Valsalva. It is not positional. It is associated with mild phonophobia and nausea. He denies associated visual symptoms, denies any associated numbness/tingling, denies vomiting, denies lightheadedness/dizziness. It is not the worst headache of his life. Also, at some point throughout this time, his left arm began to feel weak. He cannot pinpoint when exactly this started. He noticed that the left arm did not have quite the same strength and was slower to move than the right. Nonetheless, he was able to do all the things with this arm that he wanted to do, including opening and closing hands, and opening and closing doors. He had never had associated weakness with his headaches before. Regarding his baseline headaches, he has what he describes as migraines. These are characterized by throbbing pain located between his eyes, associate with intense photophobia. These are relieved by lying in a dark room and taking his sumatriptan nasal spray. He has no preceding aura. He has mild nausea without vomiting associated with it. He has never had associated weakness or sensory symptoms with a headache. Headaches typically last for 6 hours and occur once a month. Given his ongoing, refractory headache, he was planned to see his outpatient neurologist Dr. ___ 2 days ago, however the appointment was canceled due to the ___ parade. As a result, due to ongoing symptoms that have led to his inability to function and sleep properly, he came to the emergency room today for further evaluation. Of note, prior to onset of the symptoms above, patient denies any recent changes in his routine. He denies any recent new or missed medications. His blood pressure have been running high recently, and his nephrologist have plan to start losartan, however patient was reluctant to do so due to difficulty tolerating losartan in the past. No recent illness. No fevers/chills, no recent upper respiratory symptoms. No recent trauma. No recent neck manipulations. He has gone to the barber shop where his hair was washed on the open end sink 5 weeks ago. Patient recently had a prolonged hospitalization in ___, after presenting with perforated diverticulitis, status post repair and stoma retraction, subsequently status post reversal of colostomy on ___. He required epidural placement for the operation at T11/T12. Neurology was consulted postoperatively due to intermittent severe headache status post procedure. This headache was notably postural, worse with sitting or elevation and improved with lying flat. He was felt to be likely due to post epidural headache, less likely due to migraine. He improved with aggressive hydration and symptomatic treatment. For workup, he underwent MRI of the cervical spine which showed moderate to severe degenerative disease without cord enhancement. He did not require placement of an epidural blood patch. There also was a significant component of cervicalgia. Regarding the remainder of his neurologic history: - Per Dr. ___ consult note in ___: "Mr. ___ has a history of abdominal seizures, first diagnosed in ___. While abroad for work in ___, he described eating tainted fish that made him feel nauseous. On his trip back to ___, he had fits of vomiting followed by severe fatigue. His vomiting continued whenever he ate, and he lost 55 lb in 3 months. Around this time, he experienced myoclonic seizures with full-body jerks as well, with occasional waves of pain that felt like lanceting electrical shocks down the anterior aspects of his thighs. He began seeing Dr. ___ at ___ for his seizures in ___, and reports that his seizures have been well-controlled on Lamictal 400mg/500mg and Onfi 20mg qhs with recent lamictal level in ___ being therapeutic. He reports that he has not had a seizure in several years. Dr. ___ notes that Mr. ___ previously has had temporal seizures where he feels a sense of familiarity/ unfamiliarity. These episodes usually last a minute and are followed by fatigue." - He has an undifferentiated Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, for which he also follows w/ Dr. ___.

IMAGING: -------- CTA HEAD/NECK ___: IMPRESSION: 1. Very large relatively acute infarct involving much of the right middle cerebral arterial distribution, with only slight mass effect upon the overlying gyri and subjacent body of the right lateral ventricle, and no subfalcine or more central herniation. 2. No evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. 3. Abrupt occlusion of the right MCA at its mid-M1 segment, which may relate to thrombosis, given the hyperattenuating material in the immediately more distal portion as seen on the NECT or, alternatively, to focal dissection or vasospasm, or some combination of these. There is minimal distal flow, largely provided by meningeal collateral vessels. 4. Otherwise, unremarkable intracranial circulation and cervical vessels; specifically, there is a normal appearance to the right common and internal carotid arteries, without significant plaque or flow-limiting stenosis. . NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: 1. New mild (4 mm) leftward parafalcine herniation, with associated mild effacement of the right lateral ventricle. 2. Evolving large right MCA territory infarct, with no evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. 3. The suprasellar and quadrigeminal cisterns remain preserved. . ECHOCARDIOGRAM ___: The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. A patent foramen ovale is present. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%). No masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. There is no mitral valve prolapse. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Patent foramen ovale. Normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. . NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: Unchanged appearance of a large right MCA territory infarct, with continued mild effacement of the right lateral ventricle. Slight deformity on the right uncus. Consider close followup. No new mass effect or hemorrhagic conversion. Asymmetry in the lateral atlanto-axial distances is likely positional and can be correlated clinically for significance. . BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY DOPPLER U/S ___: IMPRESSION: No evidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. . NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: There is expected further evolution of the large right MCA territorial infarct with a minimal increase in leftward shift of normally midline structures and no evidence of significant central herniation. .

No evidence for a pelvic venous thrombus. 2. 3.6 cm minimally complex right ovarian cyst, probably within physiologic allowance in a patient of this age, followup pelvic ultrasound suggested in six weeks to ensure stability or resolution. . MR HEAD ___: IMPRESSION: Redemonstration of the extensive subacute right middle cerebral arterial territorial infarction, with similar degree of subfalcine but no more central herniation. There is evidence of hemorrhagic conversion in the involved deep gray matter structures of the striatum, as well as likely early dystrophic mineralization related to cortical pseudo-laminar necrosis. Medications on Admission: -Stratera 50mg -Minessa (OCP) Discharge Medications: 1. heparin (porcine) 5,000 unit/mL Solution Sig: One (1) injection Injection TID (3 times a day). 2. aspirin 325 mg Tablet, Delayed Release (E.C.)

Discharge Disposition: Extended Care Facility: ___ Discharge Diagnosis: Right middle cerebral artery stroke. Discharge Condition: Mental Status: Confused - sometimes. Level of Consciousness: Lethargic but arousable. Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. . Neuro examination at discharge: Patient demonstrated wakefulness, attention, and improved speech daily. She remains hemiplegic on the left with no movement on the L side even to noxious stimuli. There is a left facial droop. Reflexes are brisk, and upgoing on the left plantar. She is inattentive to her left side. Mentation and mood are off for the circumstance. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with recent stroke and PFO. Evaluate for DVT. COMPARISONS: None. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of lower extremity DVT. The bilateral common femoral veins have appropriate flow and normal response to Valsalva. Bilateral common femoral veins, greater saphenous veins, superficial femoral veins, popliteal veins, peroneal veins, and posterior tibial veins are patent with normal compressibility. There is normal response to augmentation. IMPRESSION: No evidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with right MCA stroke; evaluate for midline shift and increased swelling. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain. No contrast was administered. COMPARISON: Comparison was made with CT head on ___ as well as a series of studies dating back to ___. FINDINGS: There is expected further evolution of the extensive subacute infarction throughout the right MCA territory. Compared to study on ___, there is no significant increase in extent of cytotoxic edema. The shift of normally-midline structures is minimally increased, measuring 8.5 mm today compared to ___, when it measured 7.0 mm. The effacement of the right lateral ventricle is unchanged compared to ___, but increased compared to ___. The ventricular size is unchanged compared to ___. There are several relatively hyperattenuating foci within the infarcted region, isodense to surrounding brain (~25 ___ that likely represent "islands" of spared gray matter, rather than hemorrhagic conversion. There is no significant central herniation. There are no new regions of infarction. IMPRESSION: There is expected further evolution of the large right MCA territorial infarct with a minimal increase in leftward shift of normally midline structures and no evidence of significant central herniation. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with right MCA stroke. ___ at approximately 9:00 a.m. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images through the head were acquired without intravenous contrast. FINDINGS: Compared to examination approximately nine hours prior, there has been little interval change. Infarct in the region of the right MCA territory appears similar with a large area of hypodensity with interspersed hyperdensity, which likely represents areas of spared gray matter. There is 9 mm of leftward shift of normally midline structures, which is stable compared to prior. Mass effect on the right lateral ventricle, fourth ventricle, and minimally on the basal cisterns on the right appears similar. There is no evidence for large new hemorrhage. There is no evidence for significant central herniation or new infarction. Evaluation near the skull base is affected by motion artifact. Within this limitation, the visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear well aerated. No acute bony findings are detected. IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of large right MCA infarct with leftward shift of normally midline structures. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ woman with right MCA stroke and patent foramen ovale, assess for DVT in the pelvis. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images were acquired on a 1.5 Tesla magnet including dynamic 3D imaging obtained prior to, during, and after the uneventful intravenous administration of 0.1 mmol/kg (10 mL) of Ablavar. COMPARISON: No prior studies available for comparison. FINDINGS: The IVC, bilateral common iliac, bilateral external and internal iliac veins are all patent with normal directionality of flow. The uterus is anteverted and anteflexed. There is a 3.5-cm cyst in the right ovary, this contains two small internal septations superiorly (6:50) which may in fact represent adjacent small cysts; however, followup ultrasound in six weeks is recommended to ensure stability. The left ovary is normal in appearance. The urinary bladder and rectum are unremarkable in appearance. No pelvic lymphadenopathy. The visualized osseous structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for a pelvic venous thrombus. 2. 3.6 cm minimally complex right ovarian cyst, probably within physiologic allowance in a patient of this age, followup pelvic ultrasound suggested in six weeks to ensure stability or resolution. Radiology Report MR EXAMINATION OF THE BRAIN WITHOUT CONTRAST, ___ HISTORY: ___ female status post right MCA stroke, six days earlier, with left hemiplegia; evaluate for interval change. TECHNIQUE: Routine ___ non-enhanced study, including axial T2-weighted and FLAIR PROPELLER FSE sequences. In addition, high-resolution thin-section diffusion tensor imaging (with 30 directions) was also performed, per the attending neurologist's request. FINDINGS: This study is compared with the most recent NECT, dated ___, as well as a series of studies dating to the CTA of ___. Again demonstrated is the large subacute infarct involving virtually the entire right middle cerebral arterial territory. This demonstrates marked gyriform intrinsic T1-hyperintensity, likely representing early dystrophic mineralization related to cortical pseudo-laminar necrosis. The relatively greater T1-hyperintensity involving the deep gray matter structures, particularly the striatum, demonstrates "blooming" susceptibility artifact, likely related to blood products reflecting hemorrhagic conversion. There is a similar degree of mass effect with effacement of cortical sulci and the ipsilateral lateral ventricle, and 6.5-mm leftward shift of the septum pellucidum. There is no effacement of the suprasellar cistern or evidence of more central herniation. There is no evidence of infarction in any additional vascular territory. Though there is apparent loss of the normal flow-void within the mid-right MCA, the remaining principal intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved. IMPRESSION: Redemonstration of the extensive subacute right middle cerebral arterial territorial infarction, with similar degree of subfalcine but no more central herniation. There is evidence of hemorrhagic conversion in the involved deep gray matter structures of the striatum, as well as likely early dystrophic mineralization related to cortical pseudo-laminar necrosis. Radiology Report CTA OF THE HEAD AND NECK WITH CONTRAST, ___ HISTORY: ___ female with left MCA stroke seen at OSH; evaluate for clot, "conversion" (sic), or evolution. TECHNIQUE: Routine ___ study with initial contiguous 5-mm axial MDCT sections obtained from the skull base to the vertex, prior to IV contrast administration. Subsequently, helical 1.25-mm axial MDCT sections were obtained from the aortopulmonary window through the vertex, during dynamic intravenous administration of 70 mL Omnipaque-350. Multiplanar thick-slab reconstructions were performed on the console. FINDINGS: There are no comparison studies on record; specifically the prompting OSH (not specified) study has not been uploaded to PACS for comparison. N.B. The rotational curved planar reformatted and volume-rendered 3D-reconstructed images are not available at time of this dictation. The non-enhanced study demonstrates extensive cytotoxic edema throughout the right frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes, involving much of that MCA territory. There may be some sparing of its superior territory. This process likely represents acute infarction and clearly involves more than one-third of the MCA vascular territory. There are no hyperattenuating foci within to specifically suggest hemorrhage. However, there are punctate hyperattenuating foci within likely the more distal M2 segment, as well as its sylvian branches (___), suspicious for thromboembolic material in this setting. There is normal opacification and an unremarkable appearance to the aortic arch and the great vessel origins with incidentally noted takeoff of the left vertebral artery directly from the aortic arch, a normal variant. No significant mural irregularity, calcification or flow-limiting stenosis involves the vessels of the neck. Specifically, there is a completely unremarkable appearance to the right common, internal and external carotid arteries through that carotid terminus, with no evidence of steno-occlusive disease or dissection. However, just distal to that bifurcation, there is an abnormal appearance to the proximal-most portion of the M1 segment of the right MCA, which demonstrates significant at least 50% stenosis (3:221). There is an abnormal tapered appearance to the more distal 8-mm segment of this vessel, with abrupt occlusion at the mid-M1 segment and scant distal flow, which appears to be provided by meningeal collateral vessels. There is an otherwise unremarkable appearance to the intracranial anterior and posterior circulation with patent anterior and left posterior communicating vessels and no other flow-limiting stenosis or significant mural irregularity. There is no aneurysm larger than 3 mm. There is normal opacification of the principal dural venous sinuses and deep cerebral veins, with no evidence of thrombosis. There is no abnormality of the surrounding cervical soft tissues, including the thyroid gland. The included portion of the lung apices is clear (allowing for expiratory phase of acquisition), with prominent azygos fissure, incidentally noted. IMPRESSION: 1. Very large relatively acute infarct involving much of the right middle cerebral arterial distribution, with only slight mass effect upon the overlying gyri and subjacent body of the right lateral ventricle, and no subfalcine or more central herniation. 2. No evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. 3. Abrupt occlusion of the right MCA at its mid-M1 segment, which may relate to thrombosis, given the hyperattenuating material in the immediately more distal portion as seen on the NECT or, alternatively, to focal dissection or vasospasm, or some combination of these. There is minimal distal flow, largely provided by meningeal collateral vessels. 4. Otherwise, unremarkable intracranial circulation and cervical vessels; specifically, there is a normal appearance to the right common and internal carotid arteries, without significant plaque or flow-limiting stenosis. COMMENT: A preliminary interpretation to this effect was posted to RIS-web and PACS by Dr. ___ at 5:51 a.m. on ___. Radiology Report PORTABLE CHEST FILM, ___ AT 10:20 CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ with stroke, evaluate for pneumonia or lung process. No comparison studies. Please note that comparison to old films can be helpful to detect subtle interval change. A single portable AP upright chest film, ___ at 10:20, is submitted. IMPRESSION: Lungs volumes are slightly diminished but no focal airspace consolidation, pleural effusions, or pneumothorax is seen. Incidental note is made of an azygos lobe. Overall, cardiac and mediastinal contours are within normal limits given portable technique. No pneumothorax. No evidence of pulmonary edema. No acute bony abnormality. Radiology Report INDICATION: Right MCA stroke with somnolence. COMPARISON: CT available from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 5 mm axial images of the head were obtained without the use of IV contrast. FINDINGS: Since ___, there has been new mild effacement of the anterior horn of the right lateral ventricle, accompanied by a mild 4 mm leftward shift of midline structures at this level (2:14). A large right MCA territorial infarct is again seen, with a large hypodense area encompassing the right parietal, frontal, and temporal lobes. No hemorrhagic conversion is detected. The quadrigeminal and suprasellar cisterns remain preserved. There is no evidence of tonsillar herniation. There is no acute fracture. The middle ear cavities, mastoid air cells, and included views of the paranasal sinuses remain clear. IMPRESSION: 1. New mild (4 mm) leftward parafalcine herniation, with associated mild effacement of the right lateral ventricle. 2. Evolving large right MCA territory infarct, with no evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. 3. The suprasellar and quadrigeminal cisterns remain preserved. Radiology Report EXAM: CT of the head. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Patient with right MCA infarct, for followup. TECHNIQUE: Axial images of the head were obtained without contrast and compared with the prior CT of ___ obtained at 2:00 a.m. FINDINGS: There is mass effect on the right lateral ventricle seen secondary to vasogenic edema at the site of the MCA infarct. There is no hemorrhage seen. The mass effect remains unchanged accounting for differences in slice selection. There is no evidence of dilatation of the left lateral ventricle seen to indicate subfalcine herniation. No evidence of uncal herniation identified. There is no hemorrhage seen. IMPRESSION: Overall, no significant change in mass effect on the right lateral ventricle compared to the prior study of ___. No hemorrhage seen. No evidence of herniation. Radiology Report STUDY: Chest radiograph. INDICATION: New left-sided PICC. Evaluate placement. TECHNIQUE: A single chest radiograph was obtained. COMPARISON: ___. REPORT: A left-sided PICC line lies in good position with its tip in the cavoatrial junction region. Cardiomediastinal contours are normal. Lungs are clear. No pneumothorax. Osseous structures are normal. CONCLUSION: No significant interval change from before. Good position of the PICC line. Radiology Report INDICATION: Right MCA territory infarct. COMPARISON: CTs available from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 5-mm axial images of the head were obtained without the use of IV contrast. FINDINGS: Again seen is a very large right MCA territorial infarct with mild effacement of the anterior horn of the right lateral ventricle (2:13). The suprasellar and quadrigeminal cisterns remain preserved. There is slight deformity on the right uncus. There is no evidence of new hemorrhage or mass effect. The middle ear cavities, mastoid air cells, and paranasal sinuses remain clear. Asymmetry in the lateral atlanto-axial distances is likely positional and can be correlated clinically for significance. IMPRESSION: Unchanged appearance of a large right MCA territory infarct, with continued mild effacement of the right lateral ventricle. Slight deformity on the right uncus. Consider close followup. No new mass effect or hemorrhagic conversion. Asymmetry in the lateral atlanto-axial distances is likely positional and can be correlated clinically for significance.

This is the brief hospital course for a ___ year old woman with ADHD on atomoxetine, on oral contraceptive therapy, and a history of tobacco use who presented with dysarthria and left sided weakness with a subsequent finding of a large right MCA territory. This notably occurred in the setting of synthetic cannabis abuse (smoking K2). She was found to have a mid-M1 occlusion of unknown etilogy with otherwise normal blood vessels of the neck and head. She was initially admitted to the SDU but overnight developed a headache. An NCHCT revealed 4mm of parafalcine herniation and she was started on hyperosmolar therapy with mannitol. She was transferred to the ICU for closer monitoring. . Her NCHCTs remained stable for the next few days (except for small amounts of hemorrhagic transformation), and her exam continued to improve with more wakefulness, attention, and improved speech. She remains hemiplegic with no movement on the LEFT side, including to noxious stimuli. . She was found to have a PFO on her TTE, but negative lower extremity dopplers and an MRI of her pelvic region did not reveal any venous clots (anticoagulation is not an option for her at this time). Hypercoagulability labs were sent, and some remain pending at the time of discharge (see above results section). These can be followed up at her appointment with Dr. ___ in a few weeks. . She conditionally passed her bedside dysphagia screen but requires 1:1 supervision and soft consistency solids. She was left-sided plegic when initially starting physical and occupational therapy, and remained this way throughout her stay with us. . At discharge, she will be continued on ASA 325mg daily, a daily statin, and prozac. Until she is more mobile, Heparin SC 5000U TID should be continued. . She was discharged to rehab for rigorous physical, speech, and occupational therapy when medically stable by the neurology team. She will have follow-up with Dr. ___ on ___.

This is a ___ with a reported h/o CAD (unknown anatomy), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, "CHF," s/p AVR (severe stenosis of a bicuspid AV that was repaired at ___ ___ with a 19 mm ___ Pericardial Magna Ease valve) who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath with concern for worsening prosthetic aortic stenosis. An echocardiogram revealed LVEF 70%, AV peak gradient of 45 mm Hg, mean of 25 mm Hg and valve area of 1.2 cm2 consistent with moderate to severe prosthetic aortic stenosis (vs. ___ ___ 0.8 cm2 with peak gradient 42 and mean gradient 28). Given level of AS so early after SAVR, there is concern for early valve failure. Plan at discharge was for the patient to follow up with outpatient cardiologist for planning of revision/replacement at ___ of his bio-prosthetic aortic valve. Troponin-T 0.02 twice followed by 2 normal values with normal CK-MB consistent with a tiny NSTEMI. Exercise MIBI provoked no symptoms and showed no perfusion defects, but poor functional capacity to only ___ METs. Based on patient's course and exercise stress, patient's chest pain was deemed to be unlikely a result of his aortic stenosis. Patient was discharged without coronary angiography as there was no objective evidence of residual ischemia. Dose of atrovastatin was increased from 40 mg to 80 mg in light of his history and risk factors for CAD.

PRINCIPLE REASON FOR ADMISSION: ___ w/ Afib, CAD, dCHF, CVA on aggrenox, HTN, and dementia who presents with self-limited episode of fatigue and confusion. # Fatigue/Confusion: Patient reported to have acute confusion night prior to admission, and to be lethargic morning of presentation. Apparently self-resolved spontaneously, as patient was at her baseline cognitive status on arrival to the medicine floor. Delirium in this patient with reported dementia has a wide differential and most commonly may include medication effect, infectious etiology, electrolyte abnormality or other metabolic disturbances, seizures also considered. No new medications per report, however patient is on clonazepam which certainly could cause delirium in the elderly as well as amitriptyline. These medications were held and should be used cautiously or at decreased doses if indicated. Dig level was also checked and was normal. She had no symptoms or signs of infection including clean u/a and negative CXR along with any clinical symptoms of infection. The rash on her abdomen appears more consistent with irritation dermatitis or candidal rash rather than cellulitis. Basic chem panel was all within normal limits. Patient lacked any reported worrisome symptoms for seizures such as myoclonus, tongue biting, urine incontinence, though difficult to know whether post-ictal state was possible. Given the past concern for seizure activity, could consider EEG as outpatient to further evaluate. # Ostomy leak: Patient noted to have some leakage from her ostomy on arrival. Also with bright red rash around ostomy site concerning for a irritation dermatitis or perhaps candidal rash. Would recommend careful ostomy nursing to minimize leakage. Could consider empiric topical antifungal if rash does not improve with improved hygeine.

A left-to-right shunt across the interatrial septum is seen at rest. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. Overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately depressed (LVEF= XX %). [Intrinsic left ventricular systolic function is likely more depressed given the severity of valvular regurgitation.] Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Severe (4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. The end-diastolic pulmonic regurgitation velocity is increased suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: No vegetation seen. Moderately dilated left ventricular cavity with moderate global hypokinesis - the anterior wall and septum have the worst function. Severe mitral regurgitation. Small ASD/stretched PFO present with left to right shunting at rest. . ___ Radiology ART EXT (REST ONLY) FINDINGS: The Doppler waveform in the right common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal arteries is triphasic with monophasic Doppler waveform at the level of the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis artery. The pressures are falsely elevated due to calcified vessels; therefore, ABI index could not be obtained. IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with significant posterior tibial disease in the right lower extremity. . ___ Radiology CHEST (PORTABLE AP) FINDINGS: Removal of dialysis catheter with no evidence of pneumothorax. Heart is mildly enlarged and is accompanied by vascular engorgement and new septal lines consistent with interstitial edema. Small pleural effusions have increased in size in the interval.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with fever, altered mental status, and left lower quadrant pain. Patient is status post renal transplant. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___. TECHNIQUE: ___ MDCT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. No oral or intravenous contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. CT ABDOMEN WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Subsegmental atelectasis is identified in the lung bases. There is a small simple right pleural effusion. Complete evaluation of the intra-abdominal viscera is limited by the non- contrast technique. The liver appears homogeneous without focal lesion. No intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation is identified. The hepatic veins and portal venous system are normal in caliber. The gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas appear normal. The adrenal glands are symmetric without focal lesion. The native kidneys are markedly shrunken, findings consistent stable chronic renal failure. The abdominal aorta and its branch vessels are non-aneurysmal though severely calcified. Venous calcifications are also identified throughout the abdomen and pelvis. There is no free fluid or free air. The transplanted kidney in the left lower quadrant appears normal on this non-contrast examination without evidence of hydronephrosis or perinephric fluid collection. GI: In the right lower quadrant and midline pelvis, there are multiple fluid- filled loops of small bowel which are mildly dilated. A portion of the terminal ileum measures 4.7 cm in craniocaudal dimension (301B:15). Additionally, there are multiple loops of fecalized small bowel in the ileal region (2:46, 2:67). A few decompressed loops of small bowel are visualized in the midline pelvis (2:60). Findings are concerning for partial small-bowel obstruction of uncertain etiology, A focal dilated loop appears to sit along the ventral surface; however, no clear ventral defect or hernia is identified. The colon remains well expanded and filled with stool. Complete evaluation for a transition point is difficult given the lack of both intravenous and IV contrast. CT PELVIS WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: A Foley catheter is identified within the bladder which demonstrates small foci of air. There is no pelvic free fluid. The uterus and adnexa are not clearly visualized possibly secondary to prior surgical resection as clips are identified within the area. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No bone destructive lesion or acute fracture is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Fluid-filled dilated loopss of small bowel in the right lower quadrant and midline pelvis with areas of fecalized small bowel concerning for partial small-bowel obstruction, of uncertain etiology. Clear transition point is difficult to identify given the lack of both oral and intravenous contrast. 2. Small right pleural effusion. 3. Normal appearance of the appendix. 4. Normal appearance of the transplanted kidney in the left lower quadrant. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with history of kidney and pancreas transplant and currently with sepsis and bacteremia and new oxygen requirement. Portable AP chest radiograph was compared to ___. As compared to the prior study, there is interval minimal increase in vascular congestion. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. There is no change in the appearance of the dialysis catheter. Small bilateral effusions are most likely present. There is no pneumothorax. No new consolidations to suggest infectious process demonstrated. Radiology Report NON-INVASIVE ARTERIAL STUDY AT REST INDICATION: ___ female patient with left below-knee amputation and longtime diabetes, status post pancreatic and renal transplant, currently on dialysis for one month. TECHNIQUE: Doppler waveforms, pulse volume recordings, and segmental blood pressures were obtained from the right lower extremity. FINDINGS: The Doppler waveform in the right common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal arteries is triphasic with monophasic Doppler waveform at the level of the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis artery. The pressures are falsely elevated due to calcified vessels; therefore, ABI index could not be obtained. IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with significant posterior tibial disease in the right lower extremity. Radiology Report PROCEDURE: Right internal jugular tunneled hemodialysis catheter placement: ___. INDICATION: ___ year-old woman with ESRD and recent line sepsis requiring access for hemodialysis. CLINICIANS: Dr. ___ Dr. ___. TECHNIQUE/FINDINGS: Following a detailed discussion regarding the risks and benefits of the procedure, a signed informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was brought to the angiography suite and positioned supine on the imaging table. The right chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A preprocedural timeout was performed using three separate patient identifiers. Local anesthesia was achieved using a 1% bicarbonate buffered lidocaine and lidocaine/epinephrine. 4 mg of Zofran were administered at the beginning of the procedure for nausea. 0.25 mg of IV Dilaudid were also given. The patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by a radiology nurse. Under ultrasound guidance, the right internal jugular vein was accessed using a micropuncture needle, and a 0.018 inch wire was advanced into the SVC. A permanent ultrasound image of the patent vessel was printed. A dermatotomy was made with a #11 blade. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The wire was then exchanged for a 0.035 ___ wire, which was used to determine the catheter length. The ___ wire was then advanced into the IVC. The tunnel exit site was then marked approximately 5-6 cm lateral and inferior to the venotomy site, just medial to a prior tunneling site. This area was anesthetized using 1% bicarbonate buffered lidocaine. A 1-cm incision was then made with a #11 blade. The tunneling tract was anesthetized first with a lidocaine/epinephrine mixture. A 15.5 ___ dual-lumen hemodialysis catheter was then passed subcutaneously from the tunnel exit site to the venotomy site using a metal tunneling device. The micropuncture sheath was then removed. 12 and 14 ___ dilators were passed over the wire to expand the venotomy site further. A 16 ___ peel-away sheath was then placed. The wire and inner stylet were then removed, and the catheter was advanced through the peel-away. The peel-away sheath was then removed. A final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrates the tip of the catheter terminating at the right atrium. The venotomy site was closed with a buried subcutaneous ___ Vicryl stitch, and covered with Steri-Strips and dry dressings. The catheter was secured using ___ silk sutures. Sterile dressings were applied. Both ports aspirated and flushed freely. The final tip-to-cuff length is 23 cm. The patient tolerated the procedure well, and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. IMPRESSION: Placement of a 15.5 ___ tunneled dual-lumen hemodialysis catheter via a right IJ approach, with the tip terminating in the right atrium. The tip-to-cuff length is 23 cm. The line is ready for use. Radiology Report PORTABLE CHEST X-RAY ___ COMPARISON: ___ chest x-ray. FINDINGS: Removal of dialysis catheter with no evidence of pneumothorax.

___ with unknown PMH found unresponsive with serum EtOH level of 131 now intubated and sedated after apneic episode with respiartory failure likely secondary to toxic metabolic encephalopathy. #Hypercarbic Respiratory Failure Patient with respiratory failure secondary to altered mental status and inability to protect the airway. Hypercarbia now improved with intubation with normal pH and pCO2. Patient was quickly weaned from mechanical ventilation and extubated successfully and on RA prior to discharge. #Toxic Metabolic Encephalopathy Patient found down with bottle of EtOH with pinpoint pupils unresponsive to narcan. Serum EtOH level of 131 supports EtOH intoxication. Tox screen otherwise negative with negative CT head. Upon awakening patient endorsed taking a half tab of suboxone with alcohol. Infectious etiology also less likely given absence of leukocytosis, normal UA, and normal CXR. Mental status improved post-extubation. #Alcohol intoxication Patient with elevated serum EtOH level to 131. LFT's and INR all within normal range. Patient denied history of DT's or complicated alcohol withdrawel. Social work evaluated patient. Additionally patient monitored with CIWA scale for withdrawal. Thiamine, folate, and MVI given. Counseled regarding ETOh abuse and also seen by SW prior to discharge. #Pancytopenia Patient noted to develop pancytopenia on labs while in the ICU likely secondary to bone marrow suppression from alcohol use and dilutional effect from IVF since all counts were down.We requested that patient stay to have repeat CBC to ensure stability but patient refused to stay for blood draw. Otherwise was stable without bleeding so recommended he should have this rechecked upon follow up as outpatient if not willing to stay. #Hematemesis Questionable hematemsis vs. trauma from OG tube placement in ED. Differential included gastritis and ___ tear though patient was without any evidence of ongoing bleeding in the ICU. #Lactic Acidosis Patient with evidence of lactic acidosis initially with lactate of 3.4 on arrival. Elevated lactate likely secondary to poor PO intake in addition to EtOH effect favoring preferential conversion of pyruvate to lactate. Lactate improved with IVF to 1.1 prior to discharge.
