/P: Pt is a ___ y.o woman with h.o CKD, HTN, hypothyroidism, GERD, spinal stenosis who presents with 2 days of abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. #gastrointestinal bleeding #abdominal pain Patient was started on cipro/flagyl out of concern for colitis. She had NO additional bowel movements during hospitalization. She tells me that blood from rectum started after having a "lot of diarrhea". ? if her symptoms are from a stercoral colitis. Given that she had NO bowel movements over hospitalzation, no findings consistent with megacolon, it was not felt that her symptoms were from C diff infection, nor from a bacterial colitis. Rather, it seems that she may have have had a more self limited process such as a viral one. # Hematuria: Noted by patient, and seen on UA. Ucx growing out E coli, sensitivities pending. She received a treatment course of 3 days of ciprofloxacin, and I will f/u sensitivity results. Patient noted resolution of hematuria during hospitalization. #CKD3-4-appears to be at recent baseline # Acidosis: Appears secondary to CKD, but bicarbonate quite low at 13. Persisted even after cessation of diarrhea, so unlikely to be due to GI losses. Started on sodium bicarbonate 650 mg po bid. #hypothyroidism-continue home meds #GERD-PPI # ? Pericardial effusion incidentally noted on CT scan. Patient WITHOUT signs or symptoms of dyspnea, chest pain, lightheadedness. Inpatient ECHO not pursued given lack of symmptoms, insensitivity of CT scan for picking up this finding, and that CXR not suggestive of pericardial effusion. Outpatient providers can consider pursuing outpatient echo. Greater than ___ hour spent on care on day of discharge.

Heart size is normal and there is mild coronary artery calcification. No mediastinal hematoma. Endotracheal tube terminates in the mid thoracic trachea and there are secretions around the tip of the endotracheal tube. Enteric tube is noted in the esophagus and terminates at the gastroesophageal junction. Mild ground-glass centrilobular peribronchial nodules in the right upper lobe may correspond to small focus of atypical infection/inflammatory change (02:28). Right upper lobe granuloma noted. There is a mild amount of subpleural scarring and atelectasis at the left lung base. No evidence of pulmonary contusion. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. ABDOMEN: The liver is intact and homogeneous in attenuation. Hyperenhancing focus in the right lobe of the liver superiorly (2:89) is indeterminate, possibly an FNH, hemangioma, or perfusion abnormality. There are multiple hepatic hypodensities compatible with cysts or biliary hamartomas. There is diffuse intra and extrahepatic biliary dilation, as well as prominence of the pancreatic duct. Biliary and pancreatic ducts taper smoothly to the ampulla with no obstructing mass identified. The gallbladder is distended but does not demonstrate wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. The pancreas is normal in attenuation. The spleen is intact. The adrenal glands are normal bilaterally. The kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report RIGHT KNEE FILMS, ___ HISTORY: ___ male with pain, question joint infection. FINDINGS: AP, lateral, and oblique views of the left knee. No prior plain film available for comparison. Postoperative changes of left total knee arthroplasty are seen, which is in anatomic alignment. Joint space is maintained. Subtle lucency seen at the anterior apect of the intramedullary aspect of the tibial component is seen, nonspecific but correlation with priors may be useful. There is no evidence of fracture or definite hardware complication. Possible small suprapatellar joint effusion is seen. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 9:00 A.M., ___ HISTORY: New left PICC line. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: The tip of the wire in the new left PIC line is by report 5 mm back from the tip of the catheter, which ends in the right atrium. As discussed with the IV nurse, ___, if the system is withdrawn 4 cm it will end in the low SVC. Small left pleural effusion is new since ___. Heart size is normal. There is no pneumothorax. Band of atelectasis crossing the right hilus in to the lower lobe is new as well. Lungs are otherwise grossly clear of any acute abnormality, but the pattern of vasculature, particularly in the right upper lobe suggests emphysema. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with history of TIAs and atrial fibrillation, presents with dysarthria and supratherapeutic INR. Question acute stroke. ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous non-contrast axial images were acquired through the brain. FINDINGS: There is no intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, edema, or shift of normally midline structures. The gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. There are foci of discrete and confluent periventricular white matter hypoattenuation, compatible with 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. Concave right maxillary walls appear longstanding. Vascular calcifications are seen in the cavernous carotid arteries. Globes and orbits are intact. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial process such as hemorrhage or major vascular territorial infarct. MRI is, however, more sensitive for early ischemic disease if not contraindicated. 2. Age-related involution and small vessel ischemic disease. Radiology Report LIVER ULTRASOUND AND LIVER DOPPLER CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ male with cirrhosis. The history states prior TIPS in ___ but TIPS were not performed until the ___. Previous scan suggests the patient may have had a portocaval surgical shunt. COMPARISON SCAN: ___. The liver is coarse and heterogeneous in echotexture and relatively small in size. No discrete liver lesions are identified. There are several peribiliary cysts, and there are some areas which appear to suggest mild intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. The gallbladder is normal in size with several stones and some sludge noted. The spleen is normal in size at 11 cm, and a 3.2 cm soft tissue mass is seen in the region of the pancreatic tail. This has been previously noted on CT scan of ___ and is minimally increased in size. Both kidneys are small and somewhat atrophic appearing. The right kidney measures 8.8 cm in length and the left kidney 8.4 cm. There is no hydronephrosis, although there may be some calculi present in the right kidney, nonobstructive. Color flow and pulse Doppler waveform analysis was performed. The portal vein appears to be occluded with markedly increased and tortuous hepatic arterial flow noted both in the porta hepatis and well within the liver itself. The hepatic veins are patent as is the inferior vena cava. There does appear to be some flow in the splenic vein, but the portacaval anastomosis could not be identified. CONCLUSION: 1. Cirrhotic liver with apparent portal vein thrombosis and markedly increased arterial blood supply. No focal liver masses are seen. 2. Several liver cysts, possibly peribiliary cysts as well as some mild intrahepatic bile duct dilatation is noted. 3. Doppler shows portal vein thrombosis and patent hepatic veins and IVC. 4. Soft tissue mass in the region of the pancreatic tail, slightly increased compared to CT of ___. Radiology Report HISTORY: Left knee septic arthritis, washout ___, now worsening swelling and hematocrit drop, question septic arthritis. LEFT KNEE, THREE VIEWS. A three-component knee prosthesis is in place. There appears to be a large joint effusion as well as some surrounding soft tissue swelling. No fracture or focal osteolysis is identified. Diffuse osteopenia present. Faint vascular calcification noted. Compared with ___, the degree of distension of the suprapatellar recess appears greater. Radiology Report INDICATION: Leukocytosis, shortness of breath. TECHNIQUE: AP and lateral chest radiograph. COMPARISONS: ___. FINDINGS: The left PICC is barely visible but appears to be terminate in the low SVC. There is mild cardiomegaly. Hyperexpansion and diaphragmatic flattening suggests emphysema. Surgical clips are overlying the upper abdomen. There is no focal consolidation or pneumothorax. There are small bilateral pleural effusions. There is no pulmonary vascular congestion. IMPRESSION: No evidence of pneumonia. Small bilateral pleural effusions. Gender: M Race: WHITE Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: R/O SEPTIC JOINT Diagnosed with PYOGEN ARTHRITIS-LOWER LEG, CELLULITIS OF LEG, ALCOHOL CIRRHOSIS LIVER, LONG TERM USE ANTIGOAGULANT temperature: 99.2 heartrate: 88.0 resprate: 18.0 o2sat: 100.0 sbp: 130.0 dbp: 69.0 level of pain: 0 level of acuity: 3.0
Primary Reason for Hospitalization: ___ year old male with a history of valvular atrial fibrillation on coumadin, EtOH Cirrhosis complicated by portal hypertension, TIAs and s/p TKA of LLE, initially admitted to the orthopedics service for management of septic arthritis then transferred to medicine service for management of confusion, dysarthria, ARF and supratherapeutic INR. # Hepatic Encephalopathy: On transfer pt had worsening confusion with hallucinations. History of TIAs and A.fib was concerning for additional TIA but he was therapeutic on coumadin and head CT showed no acute change. Given his concurrent rise in bilirubin and new asterixis on exam, his AMS was felt most c/w hepatic encephalopathy, likely exacerbated by narcotic pain medications and infection. RUQ U/S showed no portal vein thrombus or ascites. Narcotic medications were discontinued and he was started on aggressive lactulose. His encephalopathy gradually resolved and on discharge he was AAOX3 and had no asterixis. # Cirrhosis: C/b by encephalopathy during hospitalization. Pt has h/o EtOH cirrhosis s/p portocaval shunting in 1970s. No known h/o SBP or prior h/o hepatic encephalopathy, was not on lactulose as an outpatient. Acute decompensation felt most likely ___ infection, recent surgery and narcotic pain medication with TIPS predisposes patient to developing HE. RUQ US completed as above. Hepatology was consulted for further management, and there was initial concern that biliary obstruction could be contributing to his acute decompensation since ERCP from ___ showed CBD stone that was never removed. However he had no abdominal pain to suggest acute cholangitis. His liver function and encephalopathy gradually improved withlactulose, treatment of infection, and discontinuation of narcotic medications. # Acute on chronic renal failure: Pt developed acute on chronic renal failure with creat gradually increasing to 2.8 from baseline 1.8-2.0. Initially concerning for HRS in setting of worsening LFTs, however FeUrea suggested intrinsic renal failure. He also developed a peripheral eosinophilia, which was felt most c/w acute interstitial nephritis. IV nafcillin was switched to IV vancomycin, and his creat gradually improved without steroids. On discharge his creat had improved to 1.5. # L Knee Septic Arthritis: Stable s/p washout on ___, wound cultures grew STAPHYLOCOCCUS LUGDUNENSIS, thought likely bacteremic seeding s/p podiatric procedure. Was initially on IV nafcillin, switched to IV vancomycin due to concern for AIN as above. He should complete a 6 week course of antibiotics (will be completed on ___. He is scheduled to f/u in the Infectious Disease ___ clinic. Weekly labs including CBC w/diff, BUN/Creat, ESR, CRP, and Vanco Trough should be drawn with results faxed to Infectious disease R.Ns. at ___. All questions regarding outpatient antibiotics should be directed to the infectious disease R.Ns. at ___ or to on call MD in when clinic is closed. He should also follow up in ___ clinic for surgical wound check one week after d/c. # L Knee Hemarthrosis: Pt's Hct gradually downtrended and he required RBC transfusion (5 units total). He was noted to have worsening L knee effusion and ecchymoses, felt most likely to be source of bleed. He was guaiac negative. His knee was wrapped with ACE bandage and ice was applied TID. His Hct stabilized and L knee effusion improved. # Atrial Fibrillation: Chronic, stable on Coumadin, rate controlled with home Metoprolol. CHADS2 score of 5 extremely high risk for stroke, particularly given recent TIA in ___. He was switched from coumadin to IV heparin sliding scale due to need for procedures including knee washout and ERCP. He was restarted on coumadin on ___, INR on discharge was 1.9 so heparin drip discontinued. He will need continued monitoring of his INR with goal ___. If he is subtherapeutic, he should be bridged with IV heparin. # Urinary retention: The patient developed urinary retention with 1000cc of retained urine and had a foley placed. The patient underwent voiding trial, but failed with 600cc of urine in the bladder so the foley was replaced on ___. Subsequent voiding trial should be attempted ___. If repeat voiding trial fails the patient may need to be referred to urology. # CAD: Recent cath with non-occlusive CAD to 40-50% stenosis. Continued Aspirin 81 mg PO/NG DAILY, Metoprolol Tartrate 25 mg PO/NG BID, Simvastatin 20 mg PO/NG QHS. # HTN: Chronic, stable on home Metoprolol Tartrate 25 mg PO/NG BID. Would benefit from ACE inhibitor therapy given his chronic systolic CHF, but this was deferred during hospitalization due to acute renal failure. # CHF: Chronic, Systolic CHF with LVEF 35-40%, ischemic related, well compensated currently ___ Class I based on history prior to surgery. Continued Metoprolol as above. Patient would benefit from an ACE-I and should be started after resolution of ARF.

Non-contrast scan has several limitations in detecting vascular and parenchymal organ abnormalities, including tumor detection. Oral contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 4.6 s, 50.0 cm; CTDIvol = 10.1 mGy (Body) DLP = 505.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 506 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis dated ___. CT abdomen pelvis ___. FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: Atherosclerotic coronary artery calcifications and aortic valvular calcifications are partially imaged. There is no pericardial effusion. Subsegmental atelectasis involves the lower lobes bilaterally. There is no pleural effusion. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: The liver is hyperdense in attenuation throughout. There is no evidence of focal lesions within the limitations of an unenhanced scan. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits. PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions within the limitations of an unenhanced scan. There is no pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions. ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size.

GASTROINTESTINAL: Aside from a small hiatal hernia, the stomach is unremarkable. Small bowel diameter is at the upper limits of normal measuring 2.8 cm which could reflect a mild small bowel ileus. There is no abrupt transition point. The appendix is normal. Patient is status post left lower quadrant end colostomy. Similar to prior examination dated ___, there appears to be a 2.2 x 3.3 cm rim enhancing fluid collection adjacent to the rectum (2:65) which extends superiorly where there are apparent extraluminal foci of air. Ill-defined fluid is present anteriorly at this level. There is circumferential thickening of the wall of the cecum and ascending colon, slightly more prominent than prior exam. The descending colon is somewhat collapsed but there may be some mild wall thickening of this also (series 2, image 28). PELVIS: Foci of air within the bladder lumen is presumably iatrogenic. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The visualized reproductive organs are unremarkable. LYMPH NODES: Multiple enlarged retroperitoneal nodes are not appreciably changed, the largest measuring 9 mm in short axis (02:30), left periaortic in location..

Status post left lower quadrant end colostomy without evidence of obstruction. Thickening of the cecum and ascending colon, with possible mild thickening of the descending colon compatible with colitis with differential considerations including inflammatory, infectious or ischemic etiology. 2. Perirectal collection appears to have been present on examination dated ___, while slightly decreased in size, remains concerning for abscess or phlegmonous changes. Note is made of small foci of air which extend superiorly, apparently extra luminal. Of note, this appears to be a chronic or recurrent process, with similar changes on previous imaging including ___ CT. 3. Enlarged retroperitoneal nodes are stable in size and number, may be reactive. 4. Hyperdense liver again noted, can be seen in the setting of hemochromatosis or amiodarone administration. 5. Mild prominence of small bowel loops could reflect early ileus.

Summary: Ms. ___ is an ___ woman with history of diverticulitis c/b perirectal abscesss with recent admission to colorectal surgery (___) s/p CT guided drainage ___, pigtail cath later removed) and lap assisted sigmoid colectomy on ___, CML on gleevec, paroxysmal afib (not on ac due to bleeding hx, HTN, CKD (b/l cr 1.3-1.6), HFpEF, who presented with fever 100.3, lethargy x 2 days; found to be cdiff positive. Also found to have ___, now improved. PO intake has remained poor however and I decided to watch her another day to ensure further improvement in intake and also await her ostomy output to decrease as well. Rest of hospital course and plan are outlined below by issue: #Fever, Leukocytosis: #Severe Cdiff infection: discussed CT images with radiology and notably, there was thickening of the cecum and ascending colon which were present on prior CT abdomen however with some slight interval worsening, suggestive of colitis (feel most likely) and indeed cdiff became positive, likely relating to antibiotics given during prior admission. Perirectal fluid collection is chronic issue (at least since ___ and smaller on CT abdomen after drainage earlier this month, so unlikely to be a source. Leukocytosis has now resolved after initiating PO vancomycin. Hemodynamically stable and has remained afebrile since admission. UA negative. CXR was unchanged from prior. #Acute renal failure on CKD: cr on admission 1.8 up from baseline 1.3-1.6. Pt admitted to poor po intake plus diarrhea with high BUN, likely prerenal azotemia. S/p ___ cc's in ED followed by another gentle 500 cc's on the floor. Renal function now back to baseline. #AFib: not on ac due to hx of bleeding. On amio for rhythm control.

Chief Complaint: sudden onset of left hand clumsiness and weakness with left facial droop and minimal responsiveness. Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ year old man with a history of CAD, right parietal glioma s/p resection in ___ who presents with sudden onset of left hand clumsiness and weakness with left facial droop and minimal responsiveness. The patient spent the morning doing strenuous yardwork but otherwise felt fine. He had dinner as usual with his wife at 5pm and at 6pm she heard him dropping his pill bottle on the floor. She saw him sitting on the couch a few minutes later and said he appeared "off". He was only intermittently responding to her questions (but when he did, he gave appropriate answers) and his head was turned all the way to the left. The patient reports remembering being in the bathroom and he couldn't use his left hand to do anything. He said it felt like he couldn't control the hand. He denies seeing it shake. He had some difficulty walking and kept walking into walls. He says he remembers everything but he is likely not reliable at the time of interview. He vomited twice prior to EMS arrival. He arrived in the ED and intially had a dense left neglect with left facial droop and left arm paresis. A CODE STROKE was called. In the CT scanner he had rhythmic shaking of the left arm with eyes open but not responding to questions. He responded after about 2 minutes but the shaking continued for several minutes after. Over a period of 20minutes his left arm strength returned and he was able to give a history. He says he forgot his keppra this morning, which is very unusual for him. With regard to his brain tumor, he is followed at ___ and had a follow up MRI 1 month ago that he reports as normal. He denies any recent illness, fever, diarrhea or vomiting before tonight. No urinary symptoms or cough. Has had left chest/arm discomfort, no with exertion the past 2 weeks but no chest pain or palpiations tonight. On neuro ROS, the pt loss of vision, blurred vision, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties producing or comprehending speech.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: Right headache and left upper extremity weakness with question of stroke. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images were acquired through the head without intravenous contrast. Thereafter, images were acquired through the head and neck following the uneventful intravenous administration of iodine-based contrast. In addition, CT perfusion imaging is performed. With the angiographic images, dedicated three-dimensional angiographic reconstructions are created. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no intracranial hemorrhage, edema, or vascular territorial infarction. The patient is status post right parietal craniotomy, and note is made of a resection defect in the right parietal lobe (history notable for prior glioma resection in ___, yielding mixed astro and oligo histology). Aside from the surgical defects, ventricles and sulci are normal in size and in configuration. There are small mucus retention cysts in the maxillary sinuses bilaterally and paranasal sinuses are otherwise clear. CT ANGIOGRAM OF THE NECK: The aorta demonstrates a normal three-vessel branching pattern. The origins of both vertebral arteries and common carotid arteries are normal. Note is made of a right dominant vertebral arterial system. Both carotid bifurcations are normal, specifically without evidence of hemodynamically significant atherosclerotic plaques. Overall, the common carotid, internal carotid and vertebral arteries show no luminal caliber irregularities on either side, to suggest pseudoaneurysm, dissection or thromboembolic filling defect. Imaged portions of the lungs reveal multiple right upper lobe calcified granulomata. There is no space-occupying mass in the neck, abnormal focus of enhancement or lymphadenopathy by size criteria. Bony structures reveal mild degenerative changes, and no suspicious sclerotic or lytic lesion. CT ANGIOGRAM OF THE HEAD: Primary arterial structures opacify normally with contrast. As noted previously, there is a right dominant vertebral system. There are no luminal caliber irregularities to suggest thromboembolic filling defects, aneurysm or dissection. Anatomy is conventional in orientation. Venous structures are notable for a diminutive left transverse sinus, through which only scant flow is visualized. Additionally, note is made of a prominent right inferior vermian vein. CT PERFUSION: Note is made of increased mean transit time corresponding to the left temporal lobe. Corresponding defects are also present on blood flow and volume maps. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial hemorrhage and no thromboembolic vascular filling defect. 2. Increased left temporal lobe mean transit time, with corresponding blood flow and volume abnormalities. Given the distribution, and the known history of seizure, these are most likely seizure related perfusion changes rather than infarction. If concern persists for the latter, and the patient is able, would recommend MRI. Radiology Report INDICATION: Partial seizure.? pneumonia. COMPARISONS: Multiple prior radiographs of the chest, most recent ___. TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral upright radiographs of the chest. FINDINGS: The lungs are well expanded and clear. The cardiomediastinal silhouette, hilar contours, and pleural surfaces are normal. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Healed fractures of the posterior right fourth, fifth and sixth ribs are unchanged. IMPRESSION: Multiple healed rib fractures, otherwise, normal chest radiograph without evidence of pneumonia. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with left arm seizure and weakness; ? recurrence of right-sided mass or stroke. TECHNIQUE: Multi sequence multiplanar MR images were acquired of the brain before and after the administration of contrast according to department protocol. COMPARISON: CTA head and neck ___, CT head ___. FINDINGS: Right parietal resection cavity, and associated post-surgical changes are noted. Tubular enhancement along the resection cavity represents a traversing vessel, best shown on the thin-section MP-RAGE images. There is no mass or mass effect. There is no acute infarct. The global left temporal abnormality seen on the recent CT-perfusion study now shows no abnormal FLAIR-signal, diffusion abnormality or enhancement. Hypointense signal within the subcortical white matter of the left medial frontal gyrus on T2-weighted sequences demonstrates "blooming" on susceptibility sequences and thin rim of T1 hyperintensity, likely reflecting prior hemorrhage and focal hemosiderin deposition. There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage. The ventricles and sulci remain normal in size and configuration, with incidental note made of ex vacuo dilatation of the occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle. There is no abnormal enhancement. The prinicipal intracranial flow-voids are normal in appearance. The dural venous sinuses are patent. The maxillary sinuses demonstrate mucus-retention cysts, bilaterally. Small amount of fluid is seen within the posterior right mastoid air cells, unchanged from ___ CT. The orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute infarct. 2. Focal hemosiderin in the left frontal lobe may reflect prior hemorrhagic infarct, and in addition to the resection cavity, could provide a gliotic seizure focus. Comparison with recent outside imaging is recommended, and when this is uploaded to PACS, an addendum can be issued. 3. No change in a right parietal resection cavity, without evidence of residual or recurrent neoplastic disease. Tubular enhancement along the resection cavity represents a traversing vessel.

Mr. ___ is a ___ year old man with a history of CAD, right parietal glioma s/p resection in ___ who presented with sudden onset of left hand clumsiness and weakness with left facial droop and minimal responsiveness and subsquent witnessed partial onset complex seizure while in the CT scan This is in the context of missing his keppra dose this morning. # NEURO: In the ED, patient's exam has continued to improve over the course of an hour with nearly resolved left arm strength (still clumsy hand), improved facial droop and less dramatic left side neglect and increased alertness. Overnight on HD #1, his exam normalized completely. He had a NCHCT/CTA/CTP which did not show evidence of hemorrhage, aneurysm or flow-limiting stenosis. CT perfusion showed increased left temporal lobe mean transit time, with corresponding blood flow and volume abnormalities, supporting diagnosis of seizure. Patient's neuro deficits were felt to represent a ___ paralysis following the seizure. To rule out stroke or recurrence of his oligo-astrocytoma, he underwent MRI on HD #2 which showed no stroke and no tumor recurrence compared with images from ___ from ___. It also showed evidence of his prior ___ cavity hemorrhage which could provide a gliotic seizure focus. Patient was seen by Neuro-Oncology while at ___ who agreed that his imaging did not support tumor recurrence. He underwent toxic-metabolic workup as well which was all negative. Ultimately his seizure was felt to be likely caused by his missed Keppra dose. We did suggest increasing his keppra to 100mg po bid, but he was reluctant. A Keppra level was checked and is pending. He was discharged on his home AED dosing (Keppra 1000mg qAM + 500mg qPM) and will follow up with his ___ neuro-oncologist. ============================

Ms. ___ received three RBC units on ___, and ___, respectively. All of those units were retrospectively determined to be positive for the Fya-antigen. She was then transfused a fourth unit of RBCs on ___ (before the results of her antibody evaluation were complete) that was Fya-antigen positive. The Fya-antigen is a member of the ___ blood group system. Anti-Fya antibodies are clinically significant and capable of causing acute and delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. Since the Fya antibody is currently coating the transfused red cells (DAT+ with IgG, eluate has anti-Fya), she is at risk for a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction. Her current team should look for signs of hemolysis, including an unexplained fever, an unexplained decrease in hematocrit, rise in bilirubin, rise in LDH and decrease in haptoglobin. Treatment for delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions is symptomatic with transfusion of antigen negative RBCs for symptomatic anemia. In the future the patient should receive Fya-negative products for red blood cell transfusions. Approximately 34% of ABO compatible units will be Fya-antigen negative. A wallet card and letter stating the above will be sent to the patient. MICRO: ___ EBV IgG positive ___ Blood Culture negative final IMAGING: ___ MRI abdomen/pelvis Collection abutting the distal sigmoid as described above, communicating with the sigmoid along its superior aspect. The findings are suggestive of a large semi-collapsed pseudodiverticulum containing a small amount of fluid, and draining into the sigmoid. There is abutment against the left ovary, which does not appear to be involved. No separate isolated fluid collections. CT abdomen/pelvis ___. Fluid pocket, 3.5 x 2.6 cm, in the right perirectal region, may be intramural. Findings consistent with a small abscess. Repeat imaging with rectal contrast could be obtained. 2.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI of the Pelvis INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ESRD, HCV, anemia chronic abdominal pain with a perirectal fluid collection. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the pelvis were acquired in a 1.5 T magnet. COMPARISON: CT examination from ___. FINDINGS: There is a moderate amount of stool throughout the sigmoid colon and rectum, limiting evaluation. There is a pouch-like biobed collection arising from the distal sigmoid. The inferior portion measures approximately 2.6 x 5.9 x 3.5 cm (06:32). The wall has an slightly increased signal intensity in comparison to the adjacent bowel wall on T2 weighted sequences. The collection extends superiorly and leftward to abut the left ovary, with this portion measuring approximately 2.6 x 4.0 x 2.8 cm (series 3 image 12). A small amount of enteric contrast extends into this superior component from the sigmoid (series 8 image 24), and fills the midportion of this collection (series 8, image 27). The inferior component does not fill with contrast, but appears to be communicating with the upper portions (series 2, image 15, series 8, image 35). This has the appearance of a large collapsed diverticulum/pseudodiverticulum which drains into the sigmoid. UTERUS AND ADNEXA: The uterus is anteverted and measures 5.6 x 3.2 x 5.5 cm. There is a 2.4 x 2.6 cm T1 and T2 hypointense calcified fibroid near the cervix. The endometrium is normal in thickness for age and measures 1 mm. The junctional zone is not thickened. The right ovary is visualized and appears within normal limits. The left ovary is visualized and appears within normal limits. Trace pelvic free fluid is within physiologic limits. LYMPH NODES: No significant pelvic sidewall or inguinal adenopathy by size criteria. BLADDER AND DISTAL URETERS: Unremarkable. VASCULATURE: The visualized intrapelvic vessels appear patent without any significant areas of narrowing or dilatation. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES AND SOFT TISSUES: The bones are heterogeneous in signal characteristics which may be the a reflection of anemia, smoking or obesity. No concerning lesions are identified. IMPRESSION: Collection abutting the distal sigmoid as described above, communicating with the sigmoid along its superior aspect. The findings are suggestive of a large semi-collapsed pseudodiverticulum containing a small amount of fluid, and draining into the sigmoid. There is abutment against the left ovary, which does not appear to be involved. No separate isolated fluid collections.

TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were obtained through the abdomen and pelvis after the administration of oral and intravenous contrast. Reformatted coronal and sagittal images were also reviewed. DLP: 735.1 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN: A moderate-to-large right pleural effusion is new since the prior CT of the chest (2:1) and is nonhemorrhagic. There is a 1.9 x 4.4 x 4.9 cm subdiaphragmatic fluid collection along the posterior right hepatic lobe (2:13, 601B:49), new since the prior studies, with surrounding fat stranding and relative ___ of the rim, compatible with abscess formation. Additionally, there is a 2.8-cm fluid collection along the lateral right hepatic lobe in the area of prior gallbladder fossa fluid collection, as seen on the prior CT from ___ and previously drained via ultrasound-guided drain placement on ___. This collection is slightly smaller when compared to the prior chest CT from outside hospital on ___. Two 8mm associated hyperdensities compatible with retained gallstones are again noted (2:34, 2:31). An 11-mm hypodensity in the left hepatic lobe (2:8) is unchanged, likely a hepatic cyst. The portal vein is patent, and there is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is surgically absent. The spleen is enlarged, measuring 14 cm in greatest axial dimension and greatest craniocaudal dimension (601B:41). The bilateral adrenal glands are unremarkable. An exophytic cyst is noted along the lower pole of the right kidney (2:39); otherwise, the kidneys present symmetric nephrograms and excretion of contrast. Fat stranding along Gerota's fascia and extending down the lateral conal fascia on the right is noted. There is no intraperitoneal free air or free fluid. The pancreas is relatively atrophic but unchanged compared to prior studies. Note is made of subcentimeter left renal cysts as well. The stomach, duodenum, and small bowel are normal in course and caliber with no evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. Enteric contrast material is seen to the level of the sigmoid colon. Moderate fecal load is noted. CT PELVIS: The rectum and sigmoid colon are filled with a large amount of fecal material. The bladder and terminal ureters are unremarkable. The prostate gland is enlarged, similar in appearance compared to prior studies. There is no pelvic free fluid. No pelvic side wall or inguinal lymphadenopathy is noted. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No lytic or blastic lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. New subdiaphragmatic fluid collection with rim enhancement adjacent to the posterior right hepatic lobe measures up to 4.9 cm, compatible with abscess. 2. New moderate right pleural effusion. 3. Small residual fluid collection along the anterolateral right hepatic lobe appears smaller compared to prior studies; however, superinfection cannot be excluded. Two associated 8 mm hyperdensities persist and are compatible with retained stones. 4. Hepatic and renal cysts. 5. Splenomegaly. 6. Enlarged prostate. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with subdiaphragmatic abscess. Evaluation for retained stones. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to CT of the abdomen and pelvis obtained earlier today, as well as outside CT of the chest from ___ and CT of the abdomen and pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: Limited grayscale and color Doppler ultrasound of the area of concern along the posterior upper right hepatic lobe under the diaphragm demonstrates a moderate right pleural effusion, as well as a hypoechoic fluid collection under the diaphragm, measuring approximately 3.0 x 2.0 x 2.6 cm, compatible with the previously seen findings on recent CT. There is no evidence of calcified gallstones within the area of this new collection. The chronic fluid collection along the anterolateral margin of the right hepatic lobe is similar in appearance to the prior studies, with two adjacent subcentimeter echogenic shadowing stones, as seen previously. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of retained gallstones in the area of the new subdiaphragmatic fluid collection along the posterior right hepatic lobe. 2. The previously drained fluid collection along the anterolateral right hepatic lobe is again seen, with two adjacent subcentimeter shadowing gallstones, unchanged. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT-guided drainage INDICATION: Right posterior hepatic abscess seen on CT scan. Please aspirate/place drain. Send fluid for gram stain, culture, and bilirubin. COMPARISON: Compared with previous CT abdomen pelvis from ___ and previous abdominal ultrasound from ___. PROCEDURE: CT-guided drainage OPERATORS: Dr. ___, abdominal radiology attending, who was present and supervising throughout the total procedure time and Dr. ___, abdominal radiology fellow. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained from the patient. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed as per ___ protocol. The patient was placed in a right lateral decubitus position on the CT scan table. Limited preprocedure CTscan of the intended drainage area was performed. Based on the CT findings an appropriate position for the drain placement was chosen. The site was marked. The site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 8 cc of 1% lidocaine were administered to the subcutaneous and deep tissues for local anesthetic effect. Under CT guidance, an 18 gauge, 15 cm ___ needle was introduced into the collection posterior to the liver via a posterior approach and during placement a total of 90 cc of clear yellow fluid were withdrawn from the right pleural space in order to obtain better access to the right upper quadrant collection posterior to the liver. Subsequently, a ___ wire was introduced through the ___ needle and exchange was made for a 6 ___ ___ pigtail catheter. A total of 20 cc of green purulent fluid were withdrawn from the catheter, and a sample was sent for culture, gram stain and bilirubin as requested. The pigtail catheter was fixed in place with a 0 silk suture and attached to a JP suction bulb. The procedure was well tolerated and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. DOSE: DLP: 242 mGy-cm. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of 2 mg Versed and 100 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 22 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. FINDINGS: A pre-procedure CT of the upper abdomen, which is limited due to the lack of contrast, demonstrates a moderate-sized right pleural effusion. Again noted is a well-defined collection posterior to the right lobe of the liver which measures 3.7 x 5.3 cm (3:13). In addition, just deep to the abdominal wall muscles and to the right of the liver there is a small collection measuring 3.2 x 1.1 cm. There are a few prominent porta hepatic lymph nodes, which are likely reactive. There has been prior cholecystectomy. There is mild to moderate atherosclerosis of the visualized abdominal aorta. IMPRESSION: Technically successful CT-guided drainage of collection posterior to the right lobe of the liver with 20 cc of purulent fluid withdrawn, a sample of which was sent for analysis. An additional 90 cc of clear yellow right pleural fluid were withdrawn for better access for drainage of right posterior upper abdominal collection. Findings were discussed with Dr. ___, from the surgery consultation team at 3:20 ___, 15 min after completion of the procedure. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old man with liver abscess and pleural effusions s/p ___ drainage of each // please evaluate for pneumothorax COMPARISON: ___.

Mr. ___ was admitted to the ___ on ___ via transfer from ___ with chest pain and EKG changes concerning for inferior ST-Elevation Myocardial infarction. He underwent a cardiac catheterization and was found to have severe 3-vessel disease and an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed as a bridge to surgery. The cardiac surgery service was consulted and Mr. ___ was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner. On ___ he was taken to the operating room where he underwent emergency coronary artery bypass graft x3, left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery and saphenous vein grafts to obtuse marginal and saphenous vein graft to posterior left ventricular branch. Postoperatively he was taken to the intensive care unit for monitoring. POD 1 found the patient extubated, alert and oriented and breathing comfortably. The patient was neurologically intact and hemodynamically stable on no inotropic support. Intra-aortic balloon pump was removed. He was kept in the ICU on POD1 due to Neosynephrine requirements. Beta blocker was eventually initiated and the patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. The patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for further recovery on POD2. Beta blockers were increased due to tachycardia. Chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without complication. The patient was evaluated by the physical therapy service for assistance with strength and mobility. By the time of discharge on POD 4 the patient was ambulating freely, the wound was healing and pain was controlled with oral analgesics. The patient was discharged home with visitng nurse services in good condition with appropriate follow up instructions.

FINDINGS: MRI BRAIN: There are multiple enhancing lesions at the right skullbase notably involving the right petrous apex and right occipital condyle with evidence of some adjacent soft tissue invasion. There is also involvement of the right Meckel's cave (series 105, image 42). There is an enhancing lesion expanding and causing partial destruction of the right mandibular condyle. Enhancing abnormality extends to the right mandibular ramus. Surrounding soft tissue involvement includes the right medial pterygoid and right masseter muscles. There are numerous enhancing cervical spine and calvarial lesions measuring up to 1.9 cm at the left vertex. Mild scattered subcortical, deep and periventricular white matter and pontine T2/FLAIR hyperintensities are nonspecific but compatible with chronic small vessel ischemic disease given the patient's age. There is a small old right caudate head lacunar infarct. There is no evidence of acute hemorrhage, edema, midline shift or acute infarction. The ventricles and sulci are normal in caliber and configuration. The major intracranial vascular flow voids are maintained. There is near complete opacification of the right mastoid air cells. Mild mucosal thickening of the ethmoid air cells and a few small retention cysts within the bilateral sphenoid sinuses. The orbits are unremarkable. MRA NECK: The common, internal and external carotid arteries appear normal. There is no evidence of internal carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria. The origins of the great vessels, subclavian and vertebral arteries appear normal bilaterally. IMPRESSION: 1.

MEDICATIONS: 1% lidocaine fentanyl CONTRAST: 0 ml of 0 contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 2.9 min, 11 mGy PROCEDURE: PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The left upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the inferior aspect of the left internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and ___ wire was advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length.

Gender: F Race: BLACK/CARIBBEAN ISLAND Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: Altered mental status, Transfer Diagnosed with Altered mental status, unspecified temperature: 98.6 heartrate: 98.0 resprate: 16.0 o2sat: 98.0 sbp: 104.0 dbp: 58.0 level of pain: 0 level of acuity: 2.0
Ms. ___ is a ___ year old woman with a history of IgM lambda restricted neoplasm with plasmacytic differentiation refractory to multiple treatments, who was transferred from ___ ___ for altered mental status, found to have high grade E. coli bacteremia of unclear source s/p L pheresis catheter removal, and incidental finding of L IJ thrombus. ED course ___ ================ In the ED, neurology was consulted for evaluation of altered mental status. She received CTH without contrast which did not demonstrate mass, hemorrhage or infarction, but with opacification of R mastoid air cells. MR head and MRA neck without contrast was also pursued with findings of mild white matter chronic small vessel disease, enhancing cervical spine and calvarial lesions compatible with metastatic disease, as well as enhancing lesions at the right skullbase. She developed fever to Tmax of 103. Given altered mental status and low platelets count of 39-49, it was felt that LP was contraindicated, and she was covered empirically with vancomycin 1000 mg + ceftriaxone 1 g IV x 2, and ampicillin 2 g due to concern for meningitis. Heme/onc was consulted due to concern for hyperviscoscity contributing to altered mental status but as IgM level was ~5000, below the threshold for which she typically experiences symptoms, pheresis was not pursued. During ED course, blood cultures from CHA returned as positive for ___ bottles of GNR, with time to positivity of ~8 hours. Due to concern that his pheresis cathether could be source of her bacteremia, it was removed in the ED and catheter tip was sent for culture. She received 2.5L NS. MICU course ___ ======================= On admission to the MICU, patient initially had persistently altered mental status, dozing off mid-sentence, but no focal neurologic findings. Due to concern for sepsis from high grade GNR bacteremia, antibiotics were initially broadened to vancomycin + cefepime + ampicillin, and she received 1 dose of tobramycin for double coverage. MAPs were initially in ___, and she received further fluid resuscitation with subsequent improvement to MAPs of ___. Despite CT/MRI findings, mastoditis was thought to be unlikely given absence of symptoms, and urine cultures returned as negative. To further investigate source of bacteremia, she received CT A/P to evaluate for abdominal source (unrevealing for source) as well as bilateral UE ultrasounds to look for thombus as nidus of infection (nonocclusive thrombus in the left internal jugular vein). No anticoagulation for LIJ thrombus was pursued given persistent thrombocytopenia. On the morning of ___, mental status improved to baseline, hence antibiotics were de-escalated to cefepime. Infectious diseases was consulted because of concern for seeding of port, and recommended removal of R portacath. Course was complicated by anemia with Hgb ~6 which was significantly off of her recent baseline of 8, so was transfused 1 U only as per heme/onc in order to prevent significant elevation in viscosity. No evidence of significant hyperviscocity hence pheresis continued to be deferred. She was transferred to the floor in stable condition. Oncology medicine course ___ ==================================== She was transferred to the oncology floor in stable condition. #E.coli bacteremia Patient presented with fever and AMS found to have GNR bacteremia at outside hospital initially treated with broad spectrum as meningitis could not be ruled out as LP contraindicated with low platelets. E. coli grew from admission Bcx of unclear source as UA negative and CT A/P without explanation. Patient had L IJ thrombus, pheresis line was removed on ___ given concern for source of infection. Port was left in place and patient has been receiving antibiotic locks in port. Can consider removal of port given concern for seeding. Treated initially with cefepime (___) transitioned to ceftriaxone (___). Patient will require prolonged course of abx therapy given presence of intravascular thrombus, likely 4 weeks. Also receiving Ceftazadime port antibiotic locks. #Multiple myeloma Patient with IgM level 6033 on ___ and viscocity 2.9. Per patient she usually becomes symptomatic with IgM at 8000. Pheresis catheter was removed on ___ for source control of GNR bacteremia. Cultures were clear as of ___, pheresis catheter was replaced on ___ following discussion with Dr. ___. She did not receive pheresis during this admission. She was continued on home Ixazomib, Venetoclax, Dexamethasone. #Anemia Pt was found to have anemia with Hgb ~6 which was significantly off of her recent baseline of 8. Patient received 1unit pRBCs on ___. Held additional transfusions in setting of hypedrviscocity. H/H at time of transfer 5.___.9, patient asymptomatic. Patient will need additional blood transfusions following pheresis. #Thrombocytopenia Likely ___ her disease and chemotherapy agents, as did not have indices suggestive of hemolysis. She received one unit of platelets on ___ prior to placement of pheresis catheter. DVT ppx held given platelets <50. #Left IJ thrombus Identified during duplex of upper extremity while looking for source of bacteremia. Of note, patient had tunneled pheresis catheter on that side so may have had slower drainage in IJ as a result. Patient was not anticoagulated after identification. She remained thrombocytopenic, anticoagulation contraindicated at current plt level. #Risk of fracture ___ femur erosion by soft tissue mass CT of A/P ordered for ID workup identified a large lucent lesion with associated marrow replacement, cortical thinning and posterior cortical discontinuity seen in the proximal left femur which places the patient at significant risk for pathologic fracture. A heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass adjacent to the proximal left femur was seen as well and was thought to be related to her malignancy. Outside records from ___ show left femur lesions, unclear if soft tissue mass is new. Consider orthopedics consultation.

TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ interventional radiologist, performed the procedure. ANESTHESIA: General anesthesia. MEDICATIONS: See anesthesiology notes. CONTRAST: 50 ml of Optiray contrast FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 25.2, 3 minutes 40 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Transabdominal ultrasound. 2. Ultrasound guided right percutaneous posterior transhepatic bile duct access. 3. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram right posterior duct system 4. Ultrasound-guided right percutaneous anterior transhepatic bile duct access 5. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram right anterior duct system 6. Right anterior duct stricture cholangioplasty 7. Right posterior duct stricture cholangioplasty 8. ___ right anterior biliary drain. 9. ___ right posterior biliary drain. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The right abdomen was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under ultrasound guidance, a 21G Cook needle was advanced into right posteriorbiliary system. Images of the access were stored on PACS. A percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram of the right posterior system was performed, demonstrating delayed drainage of contrast. Therefore, decision was made to proceed with drain placement within this duct system, and a peripheral duct was selected for access. A second needle was used to target the peripheral duct, and once this was punctured, a Headliner wire was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance into the posterior duct. A skin ___ was made over the needle and the needle was removed over the wire. The inner portion of an Accustick set was then advanced over the wire, and the headliner wire was exchanged for a Nitinol wire. The entire Accustick set was then advanced into the posterior duct system over the Nitinol wire. A Roadrunner wire was used to cross through the posterior duct stricture into the common hepatic duct and hepaticojejunostomy. Over this, a 6 ___ sheath was placed, with the tip positioned within the hepaticojejunostomy. At this point, contrast opacification of the right anterior system was noted without drainage or emptying into the posterior duct access. Therefore, a decision was made to access this system to be interrogated separately. Under ultrasound guidance, a 21 gauge cook needle was advanced into the right anterior biliary system. Images of the access were stored on PACs. The percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram of the right anterior system was performed, demonstrating delayed drainage of contrast. Therefore, a decision was made to proceed with drain placement within this duct system, and a peripheral duct was selected for access. A second needle was used to target to the peripheral duct, and once this was punctured, a headliner wire was advanced under fluoroscopic guidance into the anterior duct. A skin ___ was made over the needle, and the needle was removed over the wire. The inner portion of an Accustick set was then advanced over the wire, the headliner wire was exchanged for a Nitinol wire. Entire Accustick set was then advanced into the anterior duct system over the Nitinol wire. A Roadrunner wire was used to cross through the anterior duct stricture, into the common hepatic duct and hepaticojejunostomy. Over this, a 6 ___ sheath was placed. Next, an over-the-wire pull-back cholangiogram was performed through each sheath, demonstrating focal strictures of the right anterior and posterior ducts systems. A decision was made to perform cholangioplasty, and a 6 mm x 4 cm Conquest balloon was advanced over the wire and used to dilate the right posterior duct stricture. This was then removed and advanced over the wire and used to dilate the anterior duct stricture. Balloon sweep of each duct was performed prior to removal. Following this, a drain was placed within each system. Next, an modified 10 ___ APDL, with additional sideholes was placed within the right anterior system, with the pigtail positioned within the Roux limb. Similarly, a modified 10 ___ APD L was placed within the right posterior system. In both instances, sideholes were present above and below the site of stricture. Contrast injection confirmed appropriate position. The catheters were flushed with saline, secured with stay sutures to the skin and sterile dressings were applied. The catheter was attached to a bag. The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate complications. FINDINGS: 1. Initial percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram of the right posterior duct system demonstrates focal stricture. Opacification of the right anterior system was noted, without continuity and joint drainage. 2. Initial percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram of the right anterior duct system demonstrates separate focal stricture. 3. Successful cholangio plasty of the right anterior and posterior duct strictures with a 6 mm x 4 cm balloon. 4. Successful placement of right anterior and posterior drainage catheters across the separate sites of stricture. Balloon sweep of both ducts systems also performed. Filling defects were not well visualized due to debris from placement at the time of the procedure. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of right anterior and right posterior ___ internal-external biliary drains across the site of stricture, with cholangioplasty. The patient should return in 6 weeks for repeat cholangiography, additional cholangioplasty, and evaluation for intraductal stones.

The pt was admitted for abdominal pain on ___. CT showed moderate intra-hepatic biliary duct dilation and chronic cholangitis. ___ placed two transhepatic biliary duct drains on ___ with initial improvement in her pain. The pt developed chest pain on ___. EKG did not show ischemic changes. Trop was negative. She was seen by cardiology and started on MTP, captopril, and atorvastatin. The pt reported that the pain was better with burping. A GI etiology was suspected. MTP was continued. Shortly thereafter, she developed a ___ abscess (see below) which explained her "chest pain" ___ GI pathology. After treatment of the abscess, the pt had no further chest pain, confirming the non-cardiac etiology. Shortly after ___, the pt developed delirium. CT head was negative for acute changes. She had increasing WBC and fever consistent with an infectious etiology for her delirium. CT abd/pelvis ___ showed perihepatic ascites with associated peritoneal thickening and enhancement consistent with peritonitis. She was treated with CTX/flagyl. She underwent aspiration of the perihepatic collection by ___ and upsizing of her drains on ___. The drains were upsized again ___ and an abscess drain was placed ___ as well. Therefore the pt had two transhepatic biliary duct drains as well as one ___ abscess drain. ID was consulted ___ who agreed with CTX/flagyl. The abscess grew klebseilla and mixed bacterial flora. On ___, the pt's WBC normalized. Her two transhepatic biliary drains were capped. She had mildly increased RUQ abdominal pain on ___ and CT was repeated but it showed improved findings. The abscess was much smaller. There was a residual area of abscess on the hepatic dome. The imaging was reviewed by ___ who found this abscess to be communicating with the drain. Their assessment appears to be correct because the drain continued to have output, consistent with ongoing drainage of the residual fluid. The pain began to gradually improve without further worsening. Pt remained afebrile and WBC remained normal. AP was variable but TBili was normal. She was monitored several days with the biliary drains capped and continued to improve. The pt was therefore discharged with the following plan: - Biliary drains capped. Follow up with ___ to manage biliary drains was arranged prior to discharge. ___ care for biliary drain management was arranged prior to discharge. - Abscess drain remained draining to bulb. Pt and her nursing student granddaughter (who lives with her) were trained in how to empty the drain and measure output. They were instructed to call ___ when the output was <10 cc for three days, so that they could follow up with ___ at that time to re-assess abx and drain removal, and for possible re-imaging. This was per ___ recommendations. - Abx were continued. Pt was given a two week course of prescriptions for cefpodoxime and flagyl. F/up with ID was arranged prior to discharge in 1.5 weeks' time to determine whether ongoing abx were required and to possibly re-image. At the time of discharge, the pt was feeling well. Her pain was mild and controlled with Tylenol and occasional Ultram. She had no chest pain or SOB. She had no confusion. She was ambulating independently with supervision. She was regaining strength. Pt was tolerating PO intake well. She was discharged home with very close home support including nearly ___ care by her family and nurses hired by her family.

Ms. ___ was admitted with acute onset of diplopia, gait instability and neck ache. Exam showed a left internuclear ophthalmoplegia and left cranial nerve six palsy as well as gait instability with some elements of functional overlay. The eye movement abnormalities resolved by the morning of ___, and the gait difficulty resolved hours thereafter. It is unclear whether this episode is related to TIA vs basilar migraine, a less likely, though possible, alternative explanation is MRI-negative stroke, as the expected stroke size in the brainstem would be expected to be quite small, and likely in the L pons. We completed workup for TIA, which showed hyperlipidemia, and atorvastatin 40 mg qhs was started. Echo showed possible PFO, but TEE proved absence of PFO. Hypercoagulability studies pending and 30 day heart rhythm monitor was hooked up on discharge. She was started on ASA 81 and atorvastatin 40 mg daily. She will follow up with her outpatient Neurologist. ==================================== Transitional Issues: [ ] LDL goal <70

FINDINGS: Frontal and cross-table lateral images of the right femur were obtained for a total of four images. There is a comminuted transcervical fracture through the right femoral neck with mild superior displacement of the distal fracture fragment. IMPRESSION: Comminuted right transcervical femoral neck fracture as seen on CT. Radiology Report MR THORACIC SPINE WITHOUT CONTRAST ___ HISTORY: Trauma with thoracic spine fractures. Sagittal imaging was performed with long TR, long TE fast spin echo, STIR, and short TR, short TE spin echo technique. Limited axial imaging was performed. Comparison to a torso CT of ___. FINDINGS: There are compression fractures of the T3, T4, and T5 vertebral bodies. There is a possible fracture of the superior endplate of T6. There is a small amount of retropulsed bone at the T5 level that appears to contact but not compress the thoracic spinal cord. Images of the remainder of the spine demonstrate normal alignment with no other findings suggesting acute fracture. The STIR images demonstrate faint hyperintensity involving the interspinous and interlaminar regions, perhaps indicating some level of injury to these ligaments. However, note that the torso CT demonstrates a horizontally oriented fracture through the T4 spinous process that is clearly chronic. Thus, the acuity of these minor signal intensity changes in the posterior ligamentous complex is uncertain. A preliminary report was issued that read "T5 vertebral body compression fracture with probable extension into the left pedicle. Mild retropulsion of the posterior fracture fragments into the spinal canal with mild associated canal narrowing. No abnormal cord signal. Increased linear T2 signal within the T4 vertebral body, consistent with a fracture. No posterior retropulsion. Linear T2 signal within the T4 spinous process is consistent with a fracture. Minimal surrounding soft tissue increased T2 signal could represent damage to the interspinous ligaments. Increased T2 signal along the superior endplate of the T3 vertebral body, possibly a fracture versus stress rejection. Heterogeneous signal intensity within the anterior longitudinal ligament at the level of the T5 vertebral body superior endplate indicative of ligamentous injury. Given probable three-column injury, findings are concerning for an unstable spine. Findings discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ at 12:20 a.m. via telephone on ___ CONCLUSION: Fractures of the T3, 4, and 5 vertebral bodies with possible slight superior endplate fracture of T6. Retropulsed fragment at T5 slightly indents the thecal sac but does not appear to compress the spinal cord. Ambiguous mild hyperintensity in the region of the posterior ligamentous complex. Disruption of the anterior and posterior margins of the vertebral bodies confirms at least two-column injury however. Radiology Report STUDY: AP chest, ___. CLINICAL HISTORY: Patient with right hip hemiarthroplasty. FINDINGS: Comparison is made to prior study from ___. Two views of the right hip from the operating room demonstrate interval placement of a hemiarthroplasty with a non-cemented component. No periprosthetic fractures are seen. There is soft tissue swelling and gas consistent with the recent surgery. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Status post trauma, evaluation for pulmonary edema or consolidations. COMPARISON: Outside hospital film from ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient shows the hyperextended stomach. The hyperextended stomach displaces the left hemidiaphragm upwards. In addition, there is newly appeared left retrocardiac and left lower lobe atelectasis, combined to blunting of the left costophrenic sinus, potentially suggestive of mild left pleural effusion. The right lung bases also shows minimal basal atelectasis. Otherwise, the lung parenchyma is unremarkable. No evidence of pneumonia or pulmonary edema. Left distal clavicular fracture with mild displacement is noted. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 4:11 A.M. ON ___ HISTORY: ___ man after increasing hypoxia. Suspect pulmonary edema. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___ at 6:35 p.m.: Left upper lobe is newly collapsed, in addition to pre-existing left lower lobe atelectasis, shifting mediastinum markedly to the left. Some left pleural effusion may be present as well, but the major change is atelectasis. Right lung is grossly clear. New endotracheal tube is within 15 mm of the carina and should be withdrawn 2.5 cm for appropriate positioning. Once again stomach is moderately distended with air. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 5:13 A.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ man with acute respiratory failure. Evaluate for collapse. IMPRESSION: PA and lateral chest compared to ___. Aeration has improved in the left apex, but the lingula and lower lobe are still collapsed. Newly aerated upper lobe shows there is at least a modicum of left pleural effusion, probably secondary to the severe atelectasis. Right lung is clear. Tiny right pleural effusion is of no clinical significance. Stomach is still moderately distended with air and fluid. ET tube has been repositioned, now in standard position. Radiology Report HISTORY: Fall down stairs, proctosigmoidectomy with prominent bowel loops. Evaluate for obstruction or free air. COMPARISON: CT abdomen/pelvis from ___, chest radiograph from ___. FINDINGS: Abdomen, AP, 3 individual views: Nasogastric tube has been progressively advanced over the three images to just beyond the gastroesophageal junction, with side port in the distal esophagus. Markedly distended and air-filled stomach. Small bowel loops measure up to 2.7 cm and are largely filled with air. The colon is also patent. Moderate fecal loading. No upright or left lower lateral decubitus radiographs obtained to assess for free air. In the visualized portion of the chest, endotracheal tube terminates 3.7 cm above the carina. Decreased small left and trace right pleural effusions. There is persistent retrocardiac opacity. Discoid atelectasis in the left upper lobe. Patchy nodular opacities in both lower lobes, suggesting aspiration. Mild degenerative changes throughout the thoracolumbar spine. Right bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty, with noncemented component. IMPRESSION: 1. Prominent gastric bubble, NG tube advanced over the three images. 2. No radiographic evidence of obstruction. Images not tailored for detection of free air. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 5:39 A.M. ___ HISTORY: A ___ man after fall with a large dilated colon. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Leftward mediastinal shift indicates that at least some of the persistent opacification in the left lower lobe is due to atelectasis, though pneumonia is not excluded. Small-to-moderate bilateral pleural effusions are stable. Heart size normal. ET tube in standard placement. Nasogastric tube ends in the upper stomach, would need to be advanced 5 cm to move all the side ports beyond the GE junction. Right jugular line ends in the mid-to-low SVC. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report INDICATION: Status post bronchoscopy for mucous plug. Presenting with elevated temperature. Evaluate for pneumonia. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___ at 5:13 a.m. FINDINGS: The endotracheal tube is appropriately positioned, ending 3.5 cm above the level of the carina. A new enteric catheter courses below the level of the diaphragm and out of the field of view inferiorly. There has been marked improvement in aeration of the left mid-to-lower lung, status post bronchoscopy with presumed removal of a mucous plug. Moderate left lower lung/retrocardiac atelectasis persists. Concomitant infection or re-expansion edema in this region is not excluded. A small left pleural effusion may be present. There may also be a tiny right pleural effusion, not significantly changed. There is no pneumothorax. The heart size is normal. The mediastinal contours are normal. IMPRESSION: 1. Marked interval improvement in aeration of the left mid-to-lower lung with moderate residual volume loss at the left lung base. Given the persistent left lower lung opacities, infection or re-expansion edema in this region is not excluded. 2. Possible small left and tiny right pleural effusions. Radiology Report INDICATION: New central line placement. Assess for pneumothorax and evaluate position. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___ at 2:39 p.m. FINDINGS: A single frontal radiograph of the chest was acquired. The endotracheal tube is appropriately positioned, ending 3.6 cm above the level of the carina. An enteric catheter passes below the level of the diaphragm and out of the field of view inferiorly, not significantly changed. There has been interval insertion of a right internal jugular central venous catheter with its tip at the level of the mid SVC. There is no pneumothorax. Heterogeneous opacities in the left mid-to-lower lung are at least partially attributable to atelectasis, although infection or reexpansion edema related to recent mucus plug removal at bronchoscopy are not excluded. There is minimal right lower lung atelectasis. Small pleural effusions, left greater than right, are not excluded but would not be significantly changed. The heart size is unchanged. The mediastinal contours are normal. IMPRESSION: 1. Appropriately positioned new right internal jugular central venous catheter, ending in the mid SVC. No pneumothorax. 2. Unchanged left mid-to-lower lung heterogeneous opacities, likely atelectasis, although infection or reexpansion edema is not excluded. 3. Possible small bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right, not significantly changed. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Traumatic fall, evaluation of the patient after intubation. The ET tube tip is approximately 5 cm above the carina. The NG tube tip is in the stomach. The right internal jugular line tip is at the level of mid SVC. Heart size and mediastinum are unchanged in appearance. There is no change in left lower lobe consolidation and bilateral pleural effusions. No pneumothorax is seen. Radiology Report TYPE OF EXAMINATION: Chest AP portable single view. INDICATION: ___ male patient with hypoxia. Possible mucus plugging obstructing airways, evaluate. AP single view of the chest has been obtained with patient in semi-upright position. Comparison is made with the next preceding similar study obtained seven hours earlier during the same day. Patient remains intubated, the ETT in unchanged position. An NG tube can now be identified, seen to reach just below the diaphragm. A right internal jugular approach central venous line terminating in mid portion of SVC unchanged. No pneumothorax has developed. The previously described basal densities suggestive of some pleural effusions appear unchanged. No evidence of new infiltrates or major atelectasis. Thus no radiographic suspicion for mucus plugging of the central airways. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Intubated patient. Comparison is made with prior study, ___. Large left and moderate right pleural effusions are likely unchanged allowing the difference in positioning of the patient. Cardiac size is partially obscured by the pleural abnormality. Lines and tubes are in standard position. Bibasilar opacities, larger on the left side, are combination of pleural effusions and atelectases. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Extubation, evaluation for interval change. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has been extubated. Right internal jugular vein catheter and the nasogastric tube are unchanged. Lung volumes have slightly decreased. The extent of the pre-existing left pleural effusion as well as the accompanying atelectasis and the subtle opacities at the right lung bases are minimally more pronounced than on the previous image. No other changes. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 5:05 A.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ man after a fall. Evaluate left lower lobe pneumonia. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Moderate-to-large left pleural effusion unchanged since ___. Small right pleural effusion unchanged. Right lower lobe consolidation present since ___ has not cleared, and there is severe consolidation at the base of the left lung, both of which could be entirely atelectasis. Upper enteric drainage tube ends in the upper portion of the stomach, substantially distended with air and fluid. Dr. ___ was paged at 2:15 p.m., two minutes after the findings were recognized. Radiology Report INDICATION: Left hand pain after fall, especially the fifth digit. COMPARISON: No relevant comparisons available. FINDINGS: Frontal, oblique and lateral views of the left hand were obtained. The left fifth digit middle and distal phalanges are dislocated radially and anteriorly at the fifth PIP joint.

There is no gradient echo susceptibility in the region to suggest hemorrhage nor abnormal enhancement. This may represent a calcified subependymoma. Close attention on followup examination is recommended. 2. There is no definite evidence for intracranial metastatic disease. 3. There is an enhancing left parietal calvarial lesion which appears to erodes through the outer table as well as a suspicious enhancing T1 hypointense lesion of the right clivus, concerning for metastatic osseous disease. There additional FLAIR hyperintense enhancing lesions scattered throughout the epiploic space corresponding to lucent lesions on CT head, which may represent any combination of additional lesions and venous lakes. 4. No acute infarct. Peripheral punctate foci of gradient echo susceptibility artifact likely representing sequela of prior microhemorrhage. MRI C,T,L SPINE IMPRESSION: 1. Diffuse presumably metastatic soft tissue lesions of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine involving the vertebral bodies, lateral and posterior elements. Many of these lesions are expansile demonstrating cortical erosion. 2. In the cervical spine, there is likely soft tissue extension into the left lateral C3 epidural space and in the thoracic spine, there is minimal soft tissue enhancement of the ventral T9 epidural space, without significant spinal canal narrowing secondary to metastatic disease. 3. In the lumbosacral spine, a dominant expansile left S1 and sacral iliac lesion severely compromises the left S2-S3 and S3-S4 neural foramina. 4. Superimposed degenerative changes as described above, most prominent at C3-C4 in the cervical spine where there is severe spinal canal narrowing, minimally remodeling the cord and at L3-L4 in the lumbar spine where there is severe spinal canal narrowing. Multilevel moderate to severe neural foraminal narrowing of the cervical and lumbar spine as described above. 5. Diffuse metastatic involvement of the ribs as described above. STIR hyperintense signal of the sternoclavicular junctions is identified, which may be degenerative in nature although underlying lesion cannot be excluded. There appears to be at least 1 pathologic fracture of the right posterior T10 rib. Further evaluation with CT thorax is recommended. CT HEAD: IMPRESSION: A 4 mm hyperdense potentially calcified or hemorrhagic lesion involving the body of the corpus callosum. Given history, MRI with contrast is suggested to further assess regarding the possibility of a mass lesion in this region in addition to the suspicious calvarial lesions.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with HIV on HAART with h/o PCP PNA now with fever // ?interval change TECHNIQUE: Portable AP chest radiograph. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___ FINDINGS: There are persistent bilateral airspace opacities, more confluent in the left mid lung. Aeration of the right lung appears to improved somewhat. Small left pleural effusion. No pneumothorax seen. IMPRESSION: Interval improvement in aeration of the right lung, persistent confluent opacity in the left mid lung suspicious for infection. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with HIV, ESRD on HD with SOB, fevers, hemoptysis. // new acute cardiopulmonary process? infection, increasing edema? IMPRESSION: Compared to the prior radiograph of 1 day earlier, diffuse alveolar and interstitial opacities have slightly worsened and continue to involve the left lung to a greater degree than the right. Small left pleural effusion and trace right pleural effusions are unchanged. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman with HIV, here with hemoptysis and chronic cough. // Is there underlying pathology under pulm edema? TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning of the chest was coordinated with intravenous infusion of nonionic iodinated contrast agent reconstructed as contiguous 5- and 1.25-mm thick axial, 2.5-mm thick coronal and parasagittal, and 8 x 8 mm MIPs axial images. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 245 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: The thyroid is normal. Again noted are a number of borderline enlarged axillary, supraclavicular, mediastinal, and hilar lymph nodes. These are significantly improved in size since the prior examination. For example, one AP window lymph node that previously measured 23 x 9 mm now measures 18 x 7 mm. A subcarinal lymph node that was previously 1.8 cm in short axis is now 1.2 cm in short axis. A prominent right hilar lymph node measures and 1.1 cm. Aorta and pulmonary arteries are normal size. Cardiac configuration is normal. Mild coronary calcifications are noted. The airways are patent. Evaluation of the lungs shows significant improvement in diffuse, bilateral ground-glass opacities since the most recent examination. Interlobular septal thickening has also improved, corresponding to improved volume status. More confluent regions of consolidation are seen in the right lower lobe, which may be the sequela of prior PCP. Alternatively, this may represent an organizing pneumonia or bacterial superinfection. A right-sided pleural effusion has resolved. Persistent fluid is seen in the left major fissure. Left lower lobe and lingular atelectasis is noted. Evaluation of the bones shows prominent endplate densities, the so called "___ spine" which may be related to renal diease related hyperparathyroidism. Limited evaluation of the upper abdomen shows no significant abnormalities. IMPRESSION: 1. Significant improvement in bilateral ground glass opacities and pleural effusions. 2. Persistent confluent areas of consolidation may be related to the sequela of PCP, ___, or organizing pneumonia. Kaposi sarcoma is less likely given significant improvement.

No atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale is seen by 2D, color Doppler or saline contrast with maneuvers. The estimated right atrial pressure is ___ mmHg. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (Biplane LVEF 57%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic arch is mildly dilated. A bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis is present. The transaortic gradient is higher than expected for this type of prosthesis. Moderate (2+) aortic regurgitation is seen. A bileaflet mitral valve prosthesis is present. The mitral prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. There is a small hypermobile echodensity attached to the posterior aspect of the mitral prosthesis (LV side). In the differential diagnosis: suture, thrombus, vegetation. Mild mitral regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Small echodensity attached to the posterior aspect of a well seated bileaflet mitral valve prosthesis with differential diagnosis described above. Mild mitral regurgitation (possibly underestimated due to shadowing). Normal transmitral gradients. Well seated bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis with moderate (possibly a combination of central and paravalvular) aortic regurgitation and higher than expected transaortic gradients. Preserved biventricular systolic function. Mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. + TEE ___: The left atrium is elongated. The right atrium is dilated. No mass or thrombus is seen in the right atrium or right atrial appendage. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. There are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. A bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis is present. The aortic valve prosthesis leaflets appear to move normally. The prosthetic aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. A mild-moderate paravalvular aortic valve leak is probably present (best seen in clips 67 to 71). No masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. A well seated bileaflet mitral valve prosthesis is present. The motion of the mitral valve prosthetic leaflets appears normal. There is a small hypermobile echodensity seen attached to the posterior aspect of the mitral prosthesis (LV side) suggestive of a thorn chord or suture (less likely vegetation). Trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: No valvular, prosthetic or lead-related vegetations identified. Small echodensity associated with the bileaflet mitral valve prosthesis is more suggestive of a suture or thorn chord, although repeat TEE recommended if clinically indicated (fever, bacteremia etc) to exclude interval development of endocarditis. Well seated bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis with mild-moderate paravalvular leak. Compared to the prior intraoperative TEE dated ___, the mitral echodensity is new.

Additionally, there are occasional episodes of semirhythmic delta seen over the left hemisphere. There is diffuse beta seen throughout the record, with some loss of beta over the left hemisphere as well as loss of faster frequencies over the left hemisphere. SLEEP: The patient progresses from wakefulness to stage 2, then slow wave sleep at appropriate times with the loss of spindle activity also seen over the left hemisphere during stage II sleep. PUSHBUTTON ACTIVATIONS: There are no pushbutton activations. SPIKE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There are several automated spike detections, which are predominantly for sharply contoured theta rhythms, as well as beta activity. There are also detections for vertex waves. Others are for electrode and movement artifact. There are no epileptiform discharges. SEIZURE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There are several automated seizure detections, which are mostly for sharply contoured theta and alpha frequencies. There are no electrographic seizures. QUANTITATIVE EEG: Trend analysis is performed with Persyst Magic Marker software. Panels included automated seizure detection, rhythmic run detection and display, color spectral density array, absolute and relative asymmetry indices, asymmetry spectrogram, amplitude integrated EEG, burst suppression ratio, envelope trend, and alpha delta ratios. Segments showing abnormal trends are reviewed, and the FFT spectrogram confirmed the finding of diminished faster frequencies seen over the left hemisphere as well as increased power in the delta frequency range over the left hemisphere. CARDIAC MONITOR: ___ an irregular rhythm with a rate of approximately 70-80 bpm. IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous ICU monitoring study because of focal slowing seen over the left temporal, parietal and occipital regions with the occasional periods of semirhythmic delta seen over the left hemisphere and loss of fast frequencies. This is indicative of a focal subcortical dysfunction over the left hemisphere. There is diffuse beta seen throughout the record. This can be seen in the setting of benzodiazepine or barbiturate use. There are no epileptiform discharges and no electrographic seizures. INTERPRETED BY: ___. Medications on Admission: The Preadmission Medication list is accurate and complete. 1.

___ with PMH left frontal cva, htn, pvd, tia, colon cancer, a. fib on coumadin presenting with altered mental status and seizure. # Altered mental status: Pt presented with altered mental status with orientation to self only. Patient may be altered secondary to infectious delirium, stroke, post-ictal state, antiepileptic medications, ativan. She may also be clouded by old left frontal stroke secondary to reprogression of old left frontal stroke though there is no evidence of this on CT imaging from OSH. Infectious delirium thought to be secondary to uti seen on u/a. Lumbar puncture was not pursued secondary to low suspicion for meningitis. Empiric antibiotics were narrowed from vanc, ceftriaxone, amp, acyclovir to ceftriaxone to treat uti. Pt finished 3 day course of ceftriaxone for UTI. 24 hour EEG indicated no epileptiform discharges and no electrographic seizures. On day of discharge, pt is oriented to self, place (hospital) and month/year, consistent with baseline. # Seizure, resolved: Multiple etiologies for seizure including infection causing a decrease in seizure threshold. Patient also has a history of prior stroke which could also result in decreased seizure threshold. As noted by neurology, seizure is likely arising from site of prior stroke in left frontal lobe as indicated by right sided rhythmic movements and right sided gaze deviation seen in ___. EEG with no evidence of continous seizures. Neurology recommended keppra 500mg BID on discharge. She will be followed up in neurology clinic at which time antiepileptics medications will be readdressed. # Atrial fibrillation with RVR: INR 4.5 at ___ but 2.2 here. Patient did have asymptomatic afib with RVR during hospitalization in the setting of missing 2 doses of her metop/verapamil. This resolved with IV metoprolol push and home dose of po metoprolol succinate. Will continue home dose metop on discharge. Coumadin was resumed at 2.5mg daily prior to discharge (previously was 2.5mg daily with 5mg twice per week). Pt should have INR checked on ___ post discharge and readjusted as necessary by PCP. # UTI- on ceftriaxone during hospital stay. Transitioned to levofloxacin on discharge. She did have a slight leukocytosis to 11.2 on day of d/c, so please recheck CBC on ___ to trend. Her entire CBC did appear hemoconcentrated, however, and she appeared well and afebrile so she was discharged. # Blood per rectum: hemorrhoids vs colonic infection/polyps. Patient does have history of colon cancer which could indicate presentation of malignancy, but less likely. Consider colonoscopy outpatient. H/H remained stable throughout hospitalization. CHRONIC ISSUES # GERD: continued omeprazole. # HTN: blood pressures remained stable. Continued hctz during hospitalization.

Patient Summary for Admission: Mr. ___ is a ___ year old man with EtOH use disorder and T2DM who presented with weakness, fatigue, and the setting of subacute cognitive decline and general failure to thrive. At the time of admission the patient was found to be hypotensive, intoxicated, with a lactic acidosis and initially admitted to ICU. He was resuscitated with IVF and then on the floor underwent workup for cognitive decline that was felt to be multifactorial (alcohol, B12 deficiency, chronic small vessel disease, depression). He was discharged to rehab after his daughter was appointed his guardian. ACUTE ISSUES ======================= # Cognitive Decline: The patient presented with years of worsening cognitive decline described by multiple falls, impulsiveness, general worsening of executive functioning and self care. He notably was previously high functioning (MBA). Over the recent years his alcohol intake has increased and he has been eating less as result of drinking more. MOCA 13 during admission. There was no evidence of ___'s encephalopathy on exam; the patient had no observed nystagmus or ataxia and did not appear to be confabulating as his reported history was in keeping with collateral information. However, given his prior alcohol use history, he was treated empirically with thiamine. He had volume loss on CT head and MRI, consistent with microvascular ischemia or possibly Alzheimer's dementia. TSH normal. RPR negative. B12 low. Cognitive decline was felt to be multifactorial: vascular dementia, alcohol, depression, B12 deficiency all contributing. For possible vascular dementia he was treated with aspirin and high dose statin. He was started on oral and IM B12 repletion. Patient became significantly deconditioned during hospitalization. He was also found to have suffered a R cerebellar infarct althoug chronicity unclear. Given inability to care for self or make decisions guardianship was pursued and his daughter ___ was appointed guardian. Given his deconditioning and recent cerebellar infarct, he was discharged to a stroke rehabilitation center. #Deconditioning. During hospitalization initially patient was seen to be walking around the floor. Later noted to be max assist to get from bed to commode when. Likely deconditioning given bed/chair alarm and may be secondary to haldol. CK normal. Haldol was discontinued. Patient later found to have suffered a subacute R cerebellar infarct as disused above with recommendation for discharge to stroke rehabilitation center. #Hypotension: On admission differential diagnosis included infection (though no obvious source), hypovolemia (very poor PO intake and EtOH use), bleed (reported dark stool). Cardiogenic was less likely as patient without cardiac history and bedside US reportedly normal. CXR without sign of PTX. Improved with IV fluids supporting hypovolemia as primary driver. Initially treated with broad spectrum antibiotics but discontinued given no clear source of infection. LENIs were obtained to rule out clot given immobility at home as the cause of fever which were negative for DVT. # Fever # Lethargy Later in hospitalization patient began spiking fevers with a Tmax of 104.9F. Also with increased in WBC count to 9.8 (previously leukopenic), tachycardia and with worsening control of blood sugars all concerning for infection. CXR was negative for pneumonia. Patient with several episodes of incontinence (although not entirely new for patient) raising suspicion for UTI. Given decreased movement ___ also with urinary incontinence raises concern for cord compression however strength is present and intact with plantar flexion/dorsiflexion and urinary incontinence is not new for patient making this much less likely on the differential. Lethargy may be extrapyramidal symptoms from Haldol (bradykinesia) but given fever raises concern for infection. He became very altered during his Tmax of 104.9 and c/o neck stiffness and tenderness which was c/f meningitis. An LP was performed but was CSF results did not reveal any signs of meningeal infection. Later an MRI of his head was performed of his brain which revealed a subacute infarct of the R cerebellum. # Lactic acidosis: Likely from hypovolemia, resolved with fluids. # Intoxication, EtOH use disorder: # Alcohol withdrawal: As above, patient with significant alcohol use disorder. He was drinking "many" glasses of wine and brandy throughout the day, and his wife shares she only realized how much he was drinking (and not eating) over the past few months. On admission he was on CIWA scale and treated with diazepam for withdrawal. He only required two doses of diazepam and later in hospitalization was not scoring on CIWA thus it was discontinued. He was treated with high dose thiamine, MVI and folic acid. SW was consulted, but patient did not recognized his drinking as a problem. #Pancytopenia. Likely in the setting of alcohol suppressing the bone marrow and nutritional deficiencies, particularly B12. CT abdomen/pelvis without any signs of cirrhosis. With B12 injections both leukopenia and thrombocytopenia resolved. Was still mildly anemic at discharge. # B12 Deficiency: B12 was low at 197, s/p IM repletion x3 ___, ___. Unclear etiology, likely a component of nutritional deficiency given alcohol use and poor PO intake. Intrinsic factor blocking antibody was negative. # Nutritional status # Refeeding syndrome Required significant repletion of phos, K and Mg initially. Likely in the setting of poor po intake and alcohol use. Nutrition recommended consideration of tube feeds given poor PO intake. Patient was provided with ensure enlive TID and encouraged to take PO. # Elevated LFT's: CT Abdomen without any obvious hepatobiliary abnormality. Likely EtOH related. Hepatitis B and C negative, although patient not immune to hepatitis B. Recommend ongoing cessation of alcohol and outpatient follow-up. # ___ Swelling. Symmetric ___ swelling noted while on medicine floor. ___ negative. Minimal protein in urine, low serum albumin. Likely iatrogenic in the setting of low intravascular oncotic pressures and volume resuscitation earlier in admission for hypotension. Pitting edema resolved with compression stockings. TTE overall unremarkable. CHRONIC ISSUES ================ # Type 2 Diabetes: Held metformin and glipizide while in-house. A1C 6.3%. Treated with insulin sliding scale while hospitalized. At discharge these medications were discontinued.

Gender: M Race: WHITE Arrive by WALK IN Chief complaint: Leg swelling, L Foot pain Diagnosed with Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified temperature: 97.6 heartrate: 80.0 resprate: 18.0 o2sat: 98.0 sbp: 140.0 dbp: 74.0 level of pain: 10 level of acuity: 2.0
The patient was admitted to the vascular surgery service after presenting with left foot rest pain and an ischemic-appearing left foot with rubor. Non-invasive studies were performed on HD2, which demonstrated left ABIs: ___ 0.17; DP 0.79. He was started on a heparin drip once his INR was <2 (on home coumadin for afib) and was taken to the operating room on HD3 for left lower extremity angiogram with a mixture of CO2 and contrast given his history of severe CKD. This did not allow for adequate visualization of his vessels so he underwent post-operative CTA imaging with pre and post-hydration to protect his renal function per the nephrology team's recommendations. Postoperatively, he had stable signals in the right and left feet though was noted to have a hematoma at the right groin site; his heparin drip was therefore held and restarted the next day after the hematoma was noted to be stable. The CTA demonstrated occlusion of the right SFA as well as occlusion of the DP, AT, and ___ with collateralization. He was thought to require a left femoral endarterectomy with possible iliac stent placement and surgical planning was pursued. On POD2, he was noted to be in afib with rvr and have elevated troponins. Notably, he was asymptomatic during this event and normotensive. His troponins were trended and peaked at 1.68; his CM-MB peaked at 15 and was noted to downtrend. The cardiology service was consulted and recommended increasing his home metoprolol dosing. He was kept inhouse awaiting a pre-operative cardiac catheterization as part of a cardiac clearance work-up. On POD5, he was noted to be increasingly tachycardic with a Hct drop to 20.7. He underwent ultrasound of his right groin which demonstrated a 7.5cm stable hematoma and no evidence of pseudoaneurysm. He was tranfused 2 units of pRBCs with appropriate increase in his hematocrit and improved hemodynamics. Ultimately, his cardiac catheterization was cancelled due to concerns that it was very high risk given his CKD and access issues. Cardiology also felt the catheterization would offer very minimal benefit given that the troponin elevation event likely represented a demand ischemia rather than a true NSTEMI requiring intervention. He was noted to be high risk for surgery by cardiology but it was decided to proceed with scheduling as no intervention was suggested to improve this risk. Throughout his hospital stay, he persistently complained of severe pain in his left foot that required IV pain medicine. By POD___-9, he starting reporting improvement in his left foot such that he felt able to be discharged home on an oral regimen. At this time, a heparin bridge to coumadin was started in preparation for discharge home to follow up for his surgery as an outpatient. Also of note, the nephrology team was consulted and followed the patient throuhgout his workup. They were involved in pre/posthydration decisions prior to contrast loading and determined that the patient had no need for hemodialysis. His creatinine returned to 2.9 at time of discharge from a peak of 4.3. During the period of POD10-11, we began to discuss the tentative plan for a Left CIA Stent and a Left Femoral Endarterectomy. We discussed the plan with the patient who deferred medical decision making to his wife. After extensive discussion with his wife, we determined that the wife would ultimately like for the patient to be DNR/DNI status, although she did express interest in the patient having the surgery and desire to make him Full Code for the ___ period. We consulted the Geriatric Service, who saw the patient and confirmed the HCP status of the wife, who completed a MOLST form. After discussion with the vascular surgery team, we decided to hold off on any intervention during this admission but to follow Mr. ___ closely as an outpatient and to re-evaluate his operative potential during his scheduled follow up appointment in two weeks. The family was comfortable with this decision but inquired about his pain control at home. They reported they were just prescribed Ultram by another provider and were contempt using that medication to control his pain. All discharge instructions and outpatient follow up plans were discussed with the patient and his family who were comfortable with the plan.

The patient has been experiencing chronic back pain in the mid back. He reportedly had a disc herniation, for which he underwent spinal surgery. However, his back pain has continued to persist to today. He also has longstanding hip pain, and a diabetic neuropathy causing burning in both legs. Within the last month, pt was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma with metastasis to the lungs. Due to his falls and recently diagnosed Hepatocellular carcinoma and metastasis to the lung, the patient was transferred here to ___ for questionable mets to the spine. The patient also states that he's had gate instability over the last year and urinary hesitancy and urgency over the last 4 months. He also stated that many years ago he (he can't remember how long) was told that he had "water in his brain" but he didn't believe it at the time. Per Neurology note: Within the past few days, pt has had intermittent nausea and lightheadedness, both when standing and lying down. Yesterday, after spending the day outside, pt stood up from sitting, felt worsening nausea and lightheadedness, as well as leg weakness, and fell. He did not lose consciousness or strike his head. He had two such falls. After falling, he noted a sharp/aching pain in the lower extremities, extending from the buttocks to the calves bilaterally.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: Epigastric pain in patient with end-stage renal disease and known portal vein thrombosis. COMPARISON: Liver ultrasound from ___, CT abdomen from ___, and MRI abdomen ___. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. Image acquisition was performed after IV contrast administration. PO contrast was not given. Multiplanar reformation was performed to generate sagittal and coronal image series. ABDOMEN: There is minimal left basilar atelectasis as well as coronary arterial calcifications. The lower chest is otherwise unremarkable. The liver has a macronodular contour, consistent with known history of cirrhosis. The gallbladder is absent. No focal liver lesions are seen. There is thrombosis in the main portal vein, which appears chronic given its calcified rim, which extends into the porta hepatis and undergoes cavernous change at the origin of the occluded left portal vein (2:14, 24). The splenic vein and SMV appear patent. The left portal vein is not well seen which is a new finding from the prior ultrasound on ___, when flow was demonstrated. The pancreas and adrenal glands appear normal. There is stable splenomegaly as well as ascites. The bilateral kidneys enhance normally and excrete contrast symmetrically. There is a small hiatal hernia. The stomach and proximal duodenum are decompressed, limiting evaluation. There is a large but stable umbilical hernia with multiple loops of unobstructed small bowel and mesentery along with ascitic fluid within the hernia sac. The abdominal loops of small and large bowel feature no wall thickening or dilation. There is diffuse mesenteric vessel varicosity, unchanged from the prior studies. There is no intra-abdominal free air. No lymphadenopathy is identified. There are atherosclerotic calcifications within the abdominal aorta, but the main branches are patent. PELVIS: Increased bowel wall thickening is noted of the right hemicolon when compared to the prior cross-sectional studies (2:45). The transverse and descending colon are normal. There is sigmoid diverticulosis without diverticulitis. There is no pelvic abscess or lymphadenopathy. The normal appendix is visualized. The uterus, bladder, and adnexa appear normal. BONE WINDOWS: There is no acute fracture, malalignment, or lesion concerning for malignancy. Incidental note is made of an L5 pars defect. IMPRESSION: 1. Increased right colonic wall thickening, maybe due to portal colopathy but infectious or ischemic colitis cannot be excluded. No obvious thromboembolus in mesenteric vessels. 2. Chronic thrombosis of the main portal vein extending to the left portal vein, with non-visualization of the right portal vein. This may be due to the timing of image acquisition or progression of portal vein thrombosis. If clinically indicated, consider Doppler ultrasound study of the liver. 3. Hepatic cirrhosis with sequelae of portal hypertension including ascites, splenomegaly, and extensive mesenteric varicosity. 4. Large but stable umbilical hernia containing multiple loops of non-obstructed small bowel, free fluid, and omentum/mesentery. Radiology Report PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided diagnostic paracentesis. INDICATION: ___ female with history of cirrhosis and ascites presenting with abdominal pain. Request ultrasound-guided diagnostic paracentesis to evaluate for spontaneous bacterial preitonitis. OPERATORS: Dr. ___ imaging fellow) and Dr. ___ (radiology attending). Dr. ___ was present for the entire duration of the procedure. COMPARISON: Previous CT abdomen and pelvis dated ___. PROCEDURE: After explaining the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was brought to the ultrasound suite and was laid supine on the table. Preprocedure timeout was performed using three unique patient identifiers as per standard ___ protocol. Limited preprocedure sonographic images of the abdomen was performed for purposes of location of the largest ascitic fluid pocket. The largest pocket was localized to the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. The overlying skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% buffered lidocaine solution was used to anesthetise the skin, subcutaneous soft tissues and parietal peritoneum. Under sonographic guidance, a 22-gauge needle was advanced into the peritoneal cavity, there was immediate return of darkish straw-colored ascitic fluid. Approximately 20 mL of the fluid was drained. The obtained sample was sent for further microbiological analysis. The patient tolerated the procedure well without any immediate periprocedural complications. IMPRESSION: Successful ultrasound-guided diagnostic paracentesis. Microbiological results pending at this time.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH PERFORMED ON ___. COMPARISON: Prior exams dated ___ and ___. CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ female with renal cancer and lung metastasis with recent right upper lobe pneumonia, here with dyspnea, question interval change. FINDINGS: Portable AP upright chest radiograph provided. There is a new moderate-sized right pneumothorax, predominantly localizing to the right lower lung. There is persistent opacity within the right upper lobe, which could represent residual pneumonia. In addition, subtle vague opacities are seen in the left lung, which represents nodules or multifocal consolidation. There is a Port-A-Cath residing in the left chest wall with tip in the region of the low SVC. Catheter tubing project over the upper abdomen. IMPRESSION: Moderate right pneumothorax, new from prior, no signs of tension. Opacities within the right upper lung and left lung appear unchanged and could represent pneumonia and/or metastatic disease. Findings were flagged on the ED dashboard at the time of initial review. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Pneumothorax, status post chest tube, evaluation. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has received a right-sided chest tube. The lung is now substantially better inflated but a small pneumothorax persists at the lung bases and in the lateral aspects of the right lung. The extensive parenchymal opacities in the right apex and in the retrocardiac lung areas persist in unchanged manner. The Port-A-Cath in the left pectoral region is also unchanged. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Pneumothorax, status post pigtail catheter. Evaluation. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. Right pigtail catheter in situ. Mild remnant right pneumothorax without evidence of tension. Unchanged appearance of the left lung. Radiology Report INDICATION: Widely metastatic renal cell carcinoma with tachypnea and pigtail drain in place. Evaluation for residual effusion. TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained from the thoracic inlet to the upper abdomen without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as axial MIPs were prepared. COMPARISON: CTA chest, ___. FINDINGS: Right-sided pigtail drain is in the posterior costophrenic sulcus with a small pneumothorax. There is no residual effusion. Small non-hemorrhagic pleural effusion on the left has decreased from ___ and atelectasis in the left lower lobe has improved. The 3.9 x 2.7 cm obstructive right hilar mass still nearly occludes the right upper lobe bronchus and its pulmonary artery branch (2:19). Right upper lobe consolidation described on ___ has necrosed and and a large 3.9 x 2.4 cm cavitation has developed (4:67). Aeration of the remaining portions of the right upper lobe has slightly improved. Left-sided Port-A-Cath tip terminates at the cavoatrial junction. Numerous calcified pulmonary masses and nodules representing metastatic renal cell carcinoma are unchanged in size from the most recent CT. Small focus of air in the pulmonary outflow tract is likely from infusion (2:26). There is no pericardial effusion, and the heart is normal in size. There are no pathologically enlarged supraclavicular or axillary lymph nodes by size criteria. This exam is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation, but 2.1 x 1.4 cm calcified mass in the liver also represents metastasis (2:40). OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There is no lytic or blastic lesion worrisome for metastasis. IMPRESSION: 1. No residual right pleural effusion. Small pneumothorax. 2. Cavitation of ischemic, right upper lobe, post-obstructive pneumonia. 3. Small left pleural effusion with improved aeration of the left lower lobe. 4. No significant interval change in diffuse calcified pulmonary metastases. Radiology Report INDICATION: Widely metastatic renal cell carcinoma with right upper lobe cavitation. Reevaluation of right chest tube. COMPARISON: CT chest, ___. Chest radiographs from ___. FINDINGS: Portable AP chest radiograph. Left-sided Port-A-Cath and right-sided pleural pigtail drain are in stable position. There is no pneumothorax. Again noted is the right upper lobe consolidation, shown to be cavitating on yesterday's CT. Numerous focal opacities correspond to calcified pulmonary metastases. Left pleural effusion remains small. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 11:12 A.M. ON ___ HISTORY: ___ woman with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a right pneumothorax. Pigtail pleural drain.

Dr. ___ was admitted to the Thoracic Surgery service for management of her pigtail catheter. It was kept to -10 of suction, however she continued to have an air leak. We attempted to put this to water seal to see if the lack of suction would help to seal the leak, but both times the leak persisted and her lung began to collapse, requiring being put back to suction twice. Because of this persistent air leak, it was decided by IP that she would be trialed on an intrabronchial valve in her right upper lobe in order to selectively isolate and not airate the leaking parenchyma. It was decided by the patient, her husband, and IP to stop her tyrosine kinase inhibitor 2 days pre-operatively in hopes that this would help promote more effective healing. Post procedurally she was stable, but transferred to the CVICU. The leak appeared smaller post-operatively. From an infectious disease standpoint she was continued on meropenem and vancomycin which she was on prior to admission for pneumonia. Her pleural fluid was sent for culture and grew enterococcus and MSSA. The infectious disease service followed her closely. Her WBC rose to 18K following removal of her chest tube but her chest xray did not change nor did she have a temperature spike. The Rheumatology service evaluated her to assure that her leukocytosis was not from active lupus and that was ruled out as her complement levels were normal. Her WBC eventually decreased to 12K. The Meropenum was stopped on ___ and her Vancomycin will continue through ___. The dose was decreased to 500 mg daily as her trough on 750 mg daily was elevated. Her trough on 500 mg daily is 18 as of ___. Physical Therapy worked with her while she was inpatient to help prevent deconditioning. She was also seen by nutrition who confirmed that her tube feeding was givng her adequate nutrition, and that she should continue to intake PO for pleasure. She was also seen by palliative care, who had been previously following her, who agreed with her plan of care and symptom management. They did not have any specific pain recommendations at this time, but will continue to follow her and provide support. She was discharged home on ___ with ___ services for IV Vancomycin, follow up blood work, tube feedings and medication review. She will follow up with Dr. ___ Interventiomal ___ in a few weeks with a chest xray prior as well as follow up with Oncology and Infectious Disease.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: History: ___ with sob and rib pain // pna? pna? IMPRESSION: Comparison to ___. Moderate overinflation on the lateral radiograph. In the interval, there are newly occurred both alveolar and interstitial opacities in the right lung apex, the right middle lobe and the left perihilar lung regions. Multifocal pneumonia is the most likely differential diagnosis. However, given the slightly rounded appearance of a component of the right upper lobe opacity, complete resolution must be confirmed radiographically, to exclude the presence of a neoplasm. No cardiomegaly. No pleural effusions. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST WITH CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ with shortness of breath and new chest pain on left side away from known pneumonia on right, evaluate for pulmonary embolism. TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast.

___ w/hx CVA, HTN, DMII, BPH and frequent UTIs p/w AMS, found to have positive UA and rapid improvement in MS with IVF and 1 dose CFTX in the ED; admitted for intravenous antibiotics and management of recurrent UTI. . # AMS Family reported confusion at home. No new focal neurologic signs or symptoms suggestive of TIA or CVA. History not consistent with seizure either. MS cleared with IVF and antibiotics for UTI, confirming UTI as his underlying problem. On HD1, family confirmed team's impression that he was "better than baseline." . # CYSTITIS UA was positive for nitrites, leukesterase, bacteria and WBCs in the ED so he was started on ceftriaxone IV. History also consistent w/UTI including dysuria, frequency, urge incontinence, and suprapubic pain. These resolved with antibiotics. Continued to receive IV ceftriaxone until his urine cultures grew 3 morphologies of pan-sensitive coag-negative staph. Transitioned to PO cipro for a 7-day course. . # Acute-on-Chronic kidney injury Underlying known diabetic nephropathy with baseline Cr 1.5-1.7. Creatinine at 1.8 on admission. Renal function improved with IVF and treatment of UTI. Discharge Cr 1.6. . # Hx BPH By verbal report from his PCP's office, his last medication list update there was ___ and at that time he was taking finasteride and flomax for BPH. BPH could predispose him to frequent UTIs, especially if untreated, which we suspect since his pill collection from home did not include either of these two medications. Daughter thinks they were discontinued during a recent admission. Finasteride and flomax were restarted. He was referred to urology for follow-up. . # DM type II Hyperglycemic prior to arrival in ED. Home qHS long-acting insulin increased from 17U to 19U, with better glucose control thereafter. . # Hx CVA No new focal exam findings, and AMS cleared w/fluids and treatment for UTI, which is not c/w intracranial process. L lip droop and L prosthetic eye deviation, unchanged to prior as confirmed by family. We felt there was no indication for head imaging at this time. Continued Aggrenox. . # HLD Continued pravastatin. . # HTN Continued amlodipine. . TRANSITIONAL ISSUES 1. BPH- needs Urology f/u to address issue of recurrent UTIs, treatment options 2. FREQUENT UTIS - Review UTI warning signs/symptoms with patient and family 3. CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE- Recommended nephrology follow-up 4. DIABETES - review/adjust insulin regimen, check A1c

The patient reports that he has been drinking alcohol (approximately 2 drinks per day) but has not for the last few days. He reports that he has had 20 episodes of emesis for the past 2 days. He reports that the emesis is black. He denies any hematochezia or melena. Of note, the patient saw his outpatient hepatologist on ___, at which time he failed to mention these episodes of emesis. Per Dr. ___, the patient has had intermittent thrombocytopenia and possible portal hypertension noted on endoscopy and colonoscopy in the form of small rectal varices and portal gastropathy, apparently requiring APC for angioectasias. Per hepatology notes, it is not entirely clear whether he does in fact have advanced liver disease. Abdominal imaging showed nodular liver suggestive of cirrhosis, but he has not had evidence of portal hypertension and does not have splenomegaly. He had a Fibroscan in ___ which showed stage ___ fibrosis. FibroScan on ___ had a score of 6 again suggesting minimal fibrosis. Patient went home after clinic with plan for return visit to discuss possible liver biopsy.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL INDICATION: ___ year old man with h/o fatty liver, presenting with GI bleeding // evidence of PVT. Characterization of fibrosis in liver TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen were obtained. COMPARISON: MRI liver on ___ an ultrasound on ___. FINDINGS: LIVER: The liver is diffusely echogenic. The contour of the liver is smooth. There is a 1 cm hyperechoic focus adjacent to the portal vein may reflect an area of focal fat or hemangioma. The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. There is no ascites. BILE DUCTS: There is no intrahepatic biliary dilation. The CHD measures 3 mm. GALLBLADDER: There is no evidence of stones or gallbladder wall thickening. PANCREAS: The imaged portion of the pancreas appears within normal limits, without masses or pancreatic ductal dilation, with portions of the pancreatic tail obscured by overlying bowel gas. SPLEEN: Normal echogenicity, measuring 9.3 cm. KIDNEYS: Limited views of the right kidney show no hydronephrosis. RETROPERITONEUM: The visualized portions of aorta and IVC are within normal limits. IMPRESSION: Echogenic liver consistent with steatosis. Other forms of liver disease including steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, or cirrhosis cannot be excluded on the basis of this examination. No definite focal hepatic lesions are identified. A 1 cm hyperechoic area adjacent to the portal vein may reflect an area of focal fat or a small hemangioma. Consider evaluation with nonurgent, contrast-enhanced MRI when clinically appropriate given background of cirrhosis.

___ gentleman with h/o abnormal liver chemistry tests thought related to fatty liver disease (Recent fibroscan 6, minimal fibrosis, no decompensated liver disease), who presented to ___ with multiple episodes of dark emesis and nausea on the morning of ___, concerning for acute upper GI bleed. #Upper GI bleeding: presenting with 20 episodes of emesis associated with black coloration prior to admission. On previous EGD there was esophagitis, gastritis, and mild portal gastropathy. Additionally, the bleeding might have all been triggered by wretching causing a ___ tear. The patient had an EGD on ___ which showed gastritis and portal gastropathy. He was initially started on an octreotide and protonix gtt and eventually this was discontinued. He was discharged on ciprofloxacin 500 mg BID for 5 days, and PPI 40 mg BID. He initially received one dose of IV ceftriaxone for GI bleeding but antibiotics were continued on discharge with po ciprofloxacin for total of 5 day course (___). His nausea improved and he did not have any further hematemesis prior to discharge. #Fatty liver disease: Per last Hepatology note, no evidence of true cirrhosis or liver failure. Never had decompensation with the exception of mild portal gastropathy. Liver USN with dopplers showed patent portal vein and echogenic liver consistent with steatosis with small lesions that should be characterized with eventual MRI. ___: creatinine up to 2.1 on admission from baseline of 1.1. Improved to 1.0 with fluid resuscitation. #Leukocytosis, nausea/vomiting: resolved on Hospital day 2. Now normal at 8.0. #DM: Continued home glipizide and metformin at discharge. Patient admits that he has not been taking metformin given GI upset for last two weeks. Also has not been taking glipizide and other pills since he ran out a few days ago. We will refill his prescriptions and he will follow up with his PCP. #EtOH abuse: currently drinks 2 beers or 2 "nips" but has not had a drink for two days. He denies ever having withdrawal symptoms when he tries not to drink. ___ ordered but patient did not show signs of withdrawal.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___ Chief Complaint: tachypnea Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: Intubation Pericardiocentesis PEG tube placement History of Present Illness: ___ with ?CHF, hx of prostate cancer presents from his nursing home with tachypnea to the ___ and fevers. History unable to be obtained from patient. He was reportedly wheezing and dyspneic. Initial vitals from EMS were 101.6 154/78 HR 122 RR 40, with ___ 216. Per EMS was febrile to 104 with adequate BPs, pulse ox 97%. In the ED, initial VS were: 104.4 100 129/72 38 100%. He was awake, but lethargic. He came in with a foley. Received tylenol and albuterol/ipratroprium neb He was seen by respiratory, who intubated the pt secondary to his tachypnea with vent settings: Assist control, Vt 500, RR 12, PEEP 5, FIO2 100%. Reportedly easy intubation with etomidate and succinylcholine and started on fentanyl and midazolam drip, with ETT 7.5, taped at 21 at teeth. He wsa guveb CXR showed large left pleural effusion with possiblity of LLL consolidation. He was given 1.5LNS and started on vancomycin and zosyn. He was noted to have a bruise on his head that has reportedly been there for the past week. CT Head was obtained, which per preliminary report, showed large right subdural hemorrhage with leftward subfalcine herniation. Neurosurgery was consulted who felt this may have been acute on chronic subdural hemorrhage, but given poor MS at baseline, did not feel he was a surgical candidate. Urinalysis suggestive of urinary tract infection. He was intubated secondary to his tachypnea, though his oxygen saturations were okay. He was withdrawing to pain but was not much more responsive than that. His vent settings upon transfer were AC, FiO2 40%, Vt 500, R 12, PEEP 5. His BPs had been stable (129/72) up until intubation, when he was noted to be auto-PEEPing and his systolics dropped to 79 systolic and levo 0.1 was started. Central line was placed in the ED. Cultures were sent as well. Labs from ___ showed WBC 5.2, HCT 32.0, and Plts 88, with Cr 1.2 - CT HEAD- LARGE RIGHT EPIDURAL/SUBDURAL BLEED WITH MIDLINE SHIFT. Neurosurgery was consulted and felt there was no operative option for this tpatient. On arrival to the MICU, pt is intubated and sedated. No further history is obtainable.

There is a large predominantly hyperdense right subdural hemorrhage tracking along the entire right cerebral convexity and along the tentorium and falx, measuring up to 19 mm in thickness, with 13 mm leftward shift of normally midline structures. There is mild effacement of the sulci of the right and effacement of the right lateral ventricle, most notably in the region of the occipital horn. The basal cisterns appear patent with crowding in the region of the right uncus. There is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. Underlying ventricular and sulcal prominence suggests age-related involutional changes. White matter hypodensity is likely secondary to sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease with a large lacune centered in the left external capsule. Right frontal subgaleal hematoma is seen. An osteoma projects into the frontal sinus on the left. There is partial opacification of the ethmoid air cells, left sphenoid sinus, and mucus retention cyst formation in the right maxillary sinus. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells appear well aerated. Dense arterial calcifications are seen. No acute bony abnormality is detected. IMPRESSION: Large right subdural hemorrhage with leftward subfalcine herniation. CXR ___: FINDINGS: There is a large left pleural effusion with overlying atelectasis, other underlying alveolar processes cannot be excluded. There is a small right pleural effusion. Pulmonary vascular prominence is seen, likely exaggerated by low lung volumes, without overt pulmonary edema. Linear density projecting over the left upper lung field likely represents atelectasis. No pneumothorax is seen on this single view. Heart size is difficult to evaluate in the setting of overlying large pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: Large left pleural effusion with underlying consolidation, which most likely represents atelectasis, but pneumonia, aspiration, and hemorrhage cannot be excluded. CXR ___: FINDINGS: There has been interval intubation with endotracheal tube tip projecting approximately 3.5 cm above the carina. An esophageal catheter courses below the diaphragm with tip projecting over the left upper quadrant, likely within the stomach. There is a large left pleural effusion and small right pleural effusion, as seen previously, with underlying left lower lung consolidation. No pneumothorax is detected on this single supine view. Pulmonary vascular prominence persists without radiographic evidence for overt pulmonary edema. Heart size is difficult to evaluate in the setting of overlying pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: Interval intubation and placement of an esophageal catheter in standard positions. CXR ___: Comparison is made with prior study ___. NG tube tip is out of view below the diaphragm. ET tube tip is in standard position 6.4 cm above the carina. Moderate cardiomegaly and tortuous aorta are stable. Right subclavian catheter tip is at the cavoatrial junction or upper right atrium. There is no pneumothorax. Bibasilar opacities, larger on the left side, are a combination of small effusions and adjacent atelectasis. Left perihilar atelectases are unchanged. There is mild stable vascular congestion. EEG ___: FINDINGS: ABNORMALITY #1: Throughout the record, the background voltages were markedly diminished broadly over the right side. ABNORMALITY #2: There was also prominent delta slowing on the right side. ABNORMALITY #3: There were several sharp waves in the left temporal region. ABNORMALITY #4: The background rhythm was disorganized and often mildly slow, typically in the ___ Hz range. It was seen better on the left side. HYPERVENTILATION: Could not be performed. INTERMITTENT PHOTIC STIMULATION: Could not be performed. SLEEP: No normal waking or sleeping patterns were evident CARDIAC MONITOR: Showed a generally regular rhythm but with frequent and multifocal PVCs. IMPRESSION: Abnormal EEG due to the slow background, signifying a mild encephalopathy, and the diminished background voltages over the right side suggesting material interposed between the cortical surface at recording electrodes (such as a subdural fluid), occasional leftsided focal slowing, and the infrequent left temporal sharp waves, the voltage asymmetry is compatible with the history of SDH. The slowing of background suggests an encephalopathy. The sharp waves did not have following slow waves and did not appear repetitively. CXR ___: IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: There is both more atelectasis and more left pleural effusion, at least moderate in volume, compared to ___. Right lung is grossly clear, though showing vascular congestion. There is no pulmonary edema in the right lung or pleural effusion. No pneumothorax. Right subclavian line ends close to the superior cavoatrial junction and a nasogastric tube passes into the stomach and out of view. Dr. ___ is paged at 8:25 a.m., one minute following recognition of the findings. EEG ___: FINDINGS: CONTINUOUS EEG RECORDING: Began at 16:15 on the afternoon of ___ ___ and continued through 7 the next morning. Throughout the record, the background remained slow, reaching a ___ Hz maximum. There were also bursts of generalized slowing and occasional suppressive burst with attenuation of the background in all areas for one second or so.

IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: There is both more atelectasis and more left pleural effusion, at least moderate in volume, compared to ___. Right lung is grossly clear, though showing vascular congestion. There is no pulmonary edema in the right lung or pleural effusion. No pneumothorax. Right subclavian line ends close to the superior cavoatrial junction and a nasogastric tube passes into the stomach and out of view. Dr. ___ is paged at 8:25 a.m., one minute following recognition of the findings. Radiology Report TYPE OF EXAMINATION: Chest AP portable single view. INDICATION: ___ male patient status post left-sided thoracocentesis, evaluate for pneumothorax and interval change. FINDINGS: AP single view of the chest has been obtained with patient in semi-upright position. Comparison is made with the next preceding similar study obtained 10 hours earlier during the same day. In the interval, a left-sided thoracocentesis has been performed resulting in diminished density on the left base overlying the enlarged cardiac silhouette. Pulmonary vasculature in the left-sided hemithorax can be identified and is not congested. There is no evidence of remaining pneumothorax in the apical area. Right-sided hemithorax is unchanged with unaltered position of previously described right-sided subclavian approach central venous line. ___ was paged for stat report at 2:45 p.m. Radiology Report BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY DVT ULTRASOUND INDICATION: ___ man with SDH, immobile, now with daily fevers, evaluate for DVT. TECHNIQUE: Sonographic gray-scale and Doppler images of the lower extremity veins were performed. FINDINGS: Duplex evaluation of the bilateral lower extremity veins. There is normal wall-to-wall flow, compression and augmentation of the right common femoral, proximal femoral, mid femoral, distal femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial and peroneal veins. There is normal wall-to-wall flow, compression and augmentation of the left common femoral, left proximal superficial femoral, mid femoral, distal femoral veins. Of note, there is a clot involving the left proximal greater saphenous vein without extension into the superficial femoral vein or common femoral vein. Additionally, there is aneurysmal dilatation of the left popliteal vein without evidence of intrinsic clot. The aneurysmal dilatation measures up to 2 cm in the AP dimension. The remainder of the left calf veins including the posterior tibial and peroneal veins are patent with wall-to-wall flow and compression. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the bilateral lower extremities. 2. Small clot is noted in the proximal left greater saphenous vein, near the junction with the common femoral vein, but without evidence of extension into the left superficial femoral or common femoral veins. 3. Aneurysmal dilatation of the left popliteal vein without evidence of intrinsic clot. CRITICAL RESULTS: The above findings were verbally communicated by telephone to the patient's nursing unit. Nurse, ___, verbalized understanding of results at 4:53 p.m. on ___. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with subdural hematoma, now on mannitol; evaluate for progression. COMPARISONS: Head NECT ___, 0815 hours. TECHNIQUE: Continuous axial sections were obtained through the brain without the administration of IV contrast. DLP: 1287.72 mGy-cm. CTDIvol: 57.81 mGy. FINDINGS: The skull base was re-imaged secondary to motion artifact on the initial scan. Again, there is a large predominantly hyperdense right subdural hematoma which tracks along the entire right cerebral convexity, including the tentorium and falx. The maximum depth on the prior study was 19 mm and on this study, it now measures 17.6 mm at the level of the sylvian fissure. There is 12.2 mm of leftward shift of the normally midline structures, previously 13 mm. Mild effacement of the right lateral ventricle, particularly in the occipital horn, as well as effacement of the right cerebral convexity sulci appears unchanged from prior. The previous hypodense foci within the hematoma on the earlier scan now appear slightly more hyperdense, suggesting interval bleeding versus redistribution of blood products. The gray-white matter differentiation is preserved and the basal cisterns remain patent. Underlying prominence of the ventricles and sulci likely relates to age-related volume loss. Confluent periventricular white matter hypodensities are likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. A focus of hypodensity seen in the left external capsule is compatible with a prior lacunar infarct. The right frontal scalp subgaleal hematoma is unchanged. There is no fracture seen. Redemonstrated are mild mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus and an osteoma in the left frontal sinus. Partial opacification of the mastoid air cells remains unchanged. Dense calcifications are noted within the carotid siphons and right vertebral artery. IMPRESSION: Increased density within a large right subdural hematoma, suggestive of either interval re-bleeding versus redistribution. There has been no increase in the overall size of the hematoma, with slight decrease in the degree of leftward shift of the normally midline structures.

Periventricular white matter hypodensities are consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is no evidence of fracture. There is opacification of the right mastoid air cells and mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus. An osteoma is noted in the left frontal sinus. CONCLUSION: Increased mass effect of right subdural hematoma with increased right sulcal effacement and equivocal leftward shift of normally midline structures.

There is also normal wall-to-wall flow and compression in the left common femoral, mid, and distal superficial femoral veins. There is an acute expansile hypoechoic non-occlusive thrombus involving the left greater saphenous vein at the junction, without extension into the common femoral vein. There is also an acute expansile non-occlusive thrombus at the left popliteal vein above the knee. The remainder of the left calf veins including the posterior tibial and peroneal veins are patent with wall-to-wall flow and compression. IMPRESSION: 1.

Expansile hypoechoic non-occlusive thrombus in the left popliteal vein above the knee. These findings were verbally communicated by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___, pager number ___, at 5:02 p.m. by telephone, approximately 10 minutes after the discovery of the findings. Radiology Report CT TORSO HISTORY: Fever. COMPARISONS: Chest radiograph from ___, but no prior CT imaging of the torso. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis were obtained with oral and intravenous contrast, and sagittal and coronal reformations were also performed. DLP: 1044.1 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: CT CHEST: The heart is mild to moderately enlarged. There are calcifications among the coronary arteries as well as the aortic and mitral valves. Patchy vascular calcifications are present along the aorta. There is a small pericardial effusion. There is a moderate right-sided pleural effusion and a moderate to large left-sided pleural effusion. The left lower lobe is essentially collapsed and significant lingular atelectasis is also present. Chest findings are compatible with the result of recent prior radiography. Although a pleural effusion appears more conspicuous on the left on the scout view, this apparent difference may be due to differences in positioning. CT ABDOMEN: There is a moderate-to-large quantity of pneumoperitoneum. A gastrostomy tube is somewhat difficult to assess due to streak artifacts from an overlying left arm, but positioning appears intraluminal. The quantity of air is somewhat prominent given the period of time which has elapsed since placement of the tube, although it does not necessarily connote an ongoing leak. It is noted that no discrete fluid collection is visualized. In the dome of the right lobe, a very small hypodense focus measuring 7 mm in diameter is too small to characterize. A dependent hyperdense focus of 7 mm in diameter within the gallbladder is probably due to a gallstone rather than a polyp. The spleen is normal in size and appearance. The pancreas is atrophic with dilatation of the pancreatic duct within the tail to nearly 8 mm in diameter. There is a fairly abrupt termination of the dilated duct at the level of the pancreatic body where no discrete mass can be discerned. Each adrenal gland appears mildly thickened, including a nodule along the anterior limb of the left adrenal, which is nonspecific, measuring up to 16 x 9 mm in axial ___ (2:55). In the right kidney, there are several simple cysts as well as small hypodense foci that are too small to characterize. In the upper pole of the left kidney, which is markedly atrophic, there is a hyperdense lesion measuring 21 mm in diameter, which is concerning for a neoplasm, although it is potentially due to a hemorrhagic cyst. Its density measures 70 Ho___ units on post-contrast imaging. Additional hypodense foci are mostly too small to characterize, but a large simple cyst is noted along the lower pole measuring up to 57 mm in diameter. Along the anterior margin of the lower pole, a 15 mm diameter heterogeneous but predominantly low-density lesion is suspected to represent a complex cystic lesion, but relatively small. The stomach is nondilated. There is no obstruction. Contrast passes freely through the small bowel into the colon. There is moderate sigmoid diverticulosis without evidence for inflammation. The rectum shows mild wall thickening and there is apparently incontinence with spillage of enteric contrast from the anus directly visualized on this examination. It is also difficult to exclude the possibility of a rectal mass, although an inflammatory process seems more likely, of uncertain chronicity. CT PELVIS: A Foley catheter is present within a collapsed bladder. The prostate, if present, is quite small and there may be a urethral diverticulum (2:109) to the left of midline measuring about 8 mm in diameter. There is a left common iliac stent. The lower abdominal aorta is markedly thickened and mildly ectatic measuring up to 32 x 36 mm in axial ___ with considerable calcification. The lumen narrows to as little as 11 x 7 mm in axial ___. Contents of wall thickening are of intermediate density. There is likely stenosis of the left renal artery, but not well characterized with non-angiographic technique and there is probably mild right-sided renal artery stenosis. On the right, there is stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery and possibly occlusion at the origin of the deep branch. The left superficial femoral artery appears occluded. There are septations across the narrowed part of the aorta which could be viewed as chronic dissection flaps, but the etiology of the appearance is probably due to large ulcerating atherosclerotic plaques. In the setting of fever, it is difficult to completely exclude a mycotic aneurysm but without robust enhancement or fat stranding, and with evidence for extensive atherosclerotic change, it seems less likely than a noninfectious cause. BONE WINDOWS: The bones appear demineralized. There are no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions. Moderate degenerative changes are present along the lower lumbar spine. There is a prior fracture of the right proximal humerus with displacement and overlap of fragments as well as callus formation. There has also been a prior right distal radius fracture with incomplete healing, noting that the right arm is partly within the field of view. Similarly, there has also been a distal radius fracture on the left, which is not as well characterized. There is a moderate compression deformity of the T12 vertebral bod, which appears likely chronic, without retropulsion. IMPRESSION: 1. Substantial pleural effusions with associated volume loss in the lingula and left lower lobe, the latter almost fully collapsed. Superimposed pneumonia is a potential consideration in the appropriate clinical setting, however. 2. Severe atherosclerotic change including coronary artery calcifications and marked narrowing of the infrarenal abdominal aorta with large ulcerating soft tissue plaques. The etiology is likely atherosclerosis. The possibility of a mycotic aneurysm could be considered, but the appearance and location are typical for atherosclerotic change and there are no signs such as brisk enhancement or fat stranding to indicate infection. It may be helpful, if available, however, correlate with any prior imaging, which may be available to assess the significance of the findings, however. 3. Fairly large amount of pneumoperitoneum, but without fluid collection. In the early post-procedure course, this appearance may be within normal limits, but is prominent. Accordingly, recent or ongoing leakage of air from the stomach is difficult to exclude. Followup radiographs may be helpful in order to assess for whether the quantity of air is increasing or decreasing, which may be helpful clinically. 4. There is no evidence of contrast extravasation. 5. Dilatation of the distal pancreatic duct with a relatively rapid cutoff in the pancreatic body. Although there is no mass demonstrated, the possibility of a subtle obstructing neoplasm or benign stricture could be considered and if clinically indicated, followup imaging could be pursued or further characterization with MR imaging is needed clinically, provided the patient is able to tolerate the examination. 6. Suspicious lesion in the upper pole of the left kidney, hemorrhagic cyst versus neoplasm. This appearance could also be assessed with MR or ultrasound may be of value in assessing further. 7. Marked left renal atrophy. Dr. ___ the preliminary findings with Dr. ___ at 8:10 p.m. by telephone. Dr. ___ the final report with Dr. ___ on ___ including recommendations regarding suspicious pancreatic and left renal findings. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with subdural hematoma status post PEG placement with persistent pneumoperitoneum and suggestion of contrast leak on prior CT. COMPARISON: CT torso, ___.

There is a nonobstructive bowel gas pattern. 30 cc of Optiray was injected in to a PEG tube which is in place. Contrast is seen opacifying the distal stomach as well as the proximal duodenum and there is no evidence of extraluminal contrast to suggest leak. IMPRESSION: Nonobstructive bowel gas pattern. PEG tube in place without suggestion of leak. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with signs of head trauma. COMPARISON: None available. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images through the head were acquired without intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone reconstructed images were created and reviewed. FINDINGS: Motion artifact slightly limits evaluation, particularly at the skull base. There is a large predominantly hyperdense right subdural hemorrhage tracking along the entire right cerebral convexity and along the tentorium and falx, measuring up to 19 mm in thickness, with 13 mm leftward shift of normally midline structures. There is mild effacement of the sulci of the right and effacement of the right lateral ventricle, most notably in the region of the occipital horn. The basal cisterns appear patent with crowding in the region of the right uncus. There is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. Underlying ventricular and sulcal prominence suggests age-related involutional changes. White matter hypodensity is likely secondary to sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease with a large lacune centered in the left external capsule. Right frontal subgaleal hematoma is seen. An osteoma projects into the frontal sinus on the left. There is partial opacification of the ethmoid air cells, left sphenoid sinus, and mucus retention cyst formation in the right maxillary sinus. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells appear well aerated. Dense arterial calcifications are seen. No acute bony abnormality is detected. IMPRESSION: Large right subdural hemorrhage with leftward subfalcine herniation. Findings reported to ___ by ___ by telephone at 9:18 a.m. on ___ at the time of discovery of these findings. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with fever and cough. COMPARISON: None available. TECHNIQUE: Single frontal chest radiograph was obtained portably with the patient in a semi-erect position. FINDINGS: There is a large left pleural effusion with overlying atelectasis, other underlying alveolar processes cannot be excluded. There is a small right pleural effusion. Pulmonary vascular prominence is seen, likely exaggerated by low lung volumes, without overt pulmonary edema. Linear density projecting over the left upper lung field likely represents atelectasis. No pneumothorax is seen on this single view. Heart size is difficult to evaluate in the setting of overlying large pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: Large left pleural effusion with underlying consolidation, which most likely represents atelectasis, but pneumonia, aspiration, and hemorrhage cannot be excluded. Findings reported to ___ by ___ by telephone at 10:03 a.m. on ___ at the time of discovery of these findings. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male status post intubation. COMPARISON: ___ at 8:00 a.m. TECHNIQUE: Single frontal chest radiograph was obtained portably with the patient in a supine position. FINDINGS: There has been interval intubation with endotracheal tube tip projecting approximately 3.5 cm above the carina. An esophageal catheter courses below the diaphragm with tip projecting over the left upper quadrant, likely within the stomach. There is a large left pleural effusion and small right pleural effusion, as seen previously, with underlying left lower lung consolidation. No pneumothorax is detected on this single supine view. Pulmonary vascular prominence persists without radiographic evidence for overt pulmonary edema. Heart size is difficult to evaluate in the setting of overlying pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: Interval intubation and placement of an esophageal catheter in standard positions. Radiology Report TYPE OF EXAMINATION: Chest AP portable single view. INDICATION: ___ male patient with pneumonia and subdural hematoma with new right subclavian central venous line placement. Check position. Contact Dr. ___ ___. AP single view of the chest has been obtained with patient in sitting semi-upright position. Comparison is made with the next preceding similar study of ___. The patient remains intubated, the ETT in unchanged position. The same holds for previously described NG line. A new right subclavian central venous line has been placed, seen to overlie the right mediastinal structures some 7 cm below carina. This projects also in the possible upper portion of the right atrium. It is recommended to withdraw the line by 4 cm to be in safe SVC position. ___ was paged at ___ at 4:50 p.m. Gender: M Race: WHITE Arrive by WALK IN Chief complaint: DYSPNEA Diagnosed with SEPTICEMIA NOS, SEVERE SEPSIS , ACCIDENT NOS, SUBDURAL HEMORRHAGE temperature: 104.4 heartrate: 100.0 resprate: 38.0 o2sat: 100.0 sbp: 129.0 dbp: 72.0 level of pain: unable level of acuity: 1.0
___ with ?CHF, hx of prostate cancer presents from his nursing home with tachypnea to the ___ and fevers found to have severe cerebral hemorrhage. # Neuro: Acute holohemispheric SDH, poor mental status, seizures - Has midline shift with subfalcine herniation. Not a surgical candidate per neurosurgery. Given that surgery is not an option, with his severe injury, unlikely that other treatments such as mannitol and hyperventilation will be useful in setting of not being able to evaucate hematoma. Following successful extubation on ___ he reportedly was able to communicate, although his speech was very difficult to comprehend. Given he no longer required ICU level care, and his primary active issue was neurologic, he was called out and transfered to the neurology service. Throughout his hospitalization under the care of the neurology service, pt's mental status remained poor. His eyes remained closed throughout almost the entirety of his stay although he spontaneously opened them once or twice. No verbal output was elicited although pt transiently followed some very simple verbal commands such as showing two fingers. On ___ he was started on mannitol given that neurosurgery recommended no surgical intervention. He was also started on phenytoin prophylaxis. Multiple CT heads were obtained that did not show improvement of subdural hematoma despite treatment with mannitol first followed by a course of prednisone; both therapies were stopped as ineffective. EEG monitoring was ordered given the concern for subclinical seizures, and did not show epileptiform activity, so phenytoin prophylaxis was stopped. However, as pt was later observed to have some right arm jerking consistent with seizure activity, he was started on levetiracetam. Neurosurgery was consulted three times during this admission, and a second opinion was also obtained from ___ neurosurgery; each time, the decision was made that Mr. ___ would require a major neurologic surgery involving hemicraniectomy, and that because of his frail state and age, this surgery would not be offered. Amantadine was tried for a 7-day course to attempt to improve alertness, but had no discernable effect, so it was stopped. # PNA/sepsis - Febrile and infiltrate with effusion on CXR. As the patient came in from a nursing home, he therefore required HCAP coverage. He was treated with vanc/cefepime beginning on ___, on ___ he was switched to vanc/pip-tazo/azithro given concern that he continued to be febrile. # Respiratory failure - Was intubated given tachypnea and concern he would tire out. Likely etiology is a combination of pneumonia and increased intracranial pressures from hemorrhage. He was successfully extubated on ___. After his extubation, pt remained tachypneic with ___ Stokes respirations. Respiratory distress was treated with PRN furosemide when there was evidence of pulmonary edema, albuterol nebs. After discussion with daughter ___, PRN morphine at a dose of 0.5-1 mg was added for respiratory rate > 40. # Hypotension - Upon initial presentation his hypotension was likely a combination of infection and hemorrhage. He required support with pressors briefly during his hospital course. He subsequently developed hypertension while in the ICU, which resolved with his home dose of lisinopril. On the neurology floor, pt was for the most part normotensive or mildly hypertensive. SBP was maintained < 160 mmHg in light of SDH, for the most part without PRNs. There were several episodes of transient hypotension that responded to fluid boluses. #CHF - Mildly reduced ejection fraction. Fluid balance was tenuous, and pt had multiple episodes of pulmonary edema during this hospitalization that responded to furosemide IV 20 mg. He will be discharged on a standing dose of furosemide 20 mg PO daily. # A fib - Currently rate controlled in a fib. His aspirin was held in the setting of SDH, as were nodal agents while on pressors. # Endo/diabetes - His sugars were monitored and insulin was administered with a basal/bolus measurement on a sliding scale. # ID - Given that he continued to have a fever, on ___ his peripheral line was pulled. He was also treated with miconazole powder for a fungal infection in his perineal region. On ___ he was again switched to vanc/pip-tazo/tobramycin because he was again febrile. Pt was maintained on this course throughout the majority of his admission, as each time an attempt was made to decrease antibiotic coverage, he spiked new fevers. A source of infection was not identified, although one single blood culture grew coag-negative staph (likely a contaminant). At the time of discharge, pt has been afebrile for > 72 hours, and has been gradually weaned off antibiotics (tobramycin stopped on ___, vancomycin on ___ and pip-tazo on ___. Fluconazole was initiated for persistent funguria despite Foley exchange for a 14-day course ___. #DVTs - In light of the large SDH with mass effect, pt was not started on DVT prophylaxis. LENIs on ___ demonstrated to DVTs in left leg. Decision was made to initiate prophylactic heparin ___ut forego therapeutic anticoagulation. This decision was discussed with HCP ___. #GI/nutrition: s/p PEG tube placement, transiently w/melenous stools (which now appear to have resolved, likely were secondary to PEG). Also w/persistent pneumoperitoneum attributed to PEG placement, but this was assessed clinically by surgery service and also there was no PEG tube leak on tube study. In light of the intracranial bleed and episodes of melena, famotidine stress ulcer prophylaxis will be continued on discharge. - #renal/GU: New ___ during this admission, may have been secondary to tobramycin or overdiuresis. Urine lytes borderline intrarenal, eos negative. Currently generally improving with some creatinine fluctuations (Cr 1.7 at discharge). -# Disposition: In light of his poor prognosis, pt was changed to DNR status during intubation. After extubation, daughter and HCP ___ wished pt to have a full code status again although it was explained to her that Mr. ___ has a severe neurologic injury, from which he is extremely unlikely to recover. She stated that she would want him to live regardless of how much he is suffering. Palliative care, the chaplaincy, and the ethics consult team were involved to help mediate, and ___ changed her mind later during this admission, deciding that DNR/DNI would be appropriate. At this point, patient is DNR/DNI and has an unrecoverable neurologic condition, for which we cannot offer any further surgical or medical options. His daughter and HCP ___ wishes to continue the current regimen of medications. However, should his status deteriorate, it is very unlikely that he would benefit from rehospitalizaton.

He had acute onset of thunderclap worst headache of life 8 days prior to presentation during sexual intercourse, before orgasm. The headache was a pinpoint of ___ sharp pain above right eye that spread over the same area, it was maximal intensity at onset, associated with nausea. No other associated symptoms or neuro deficits (no vision changes, no vertigo, no sensory changes or focal weakness, no language deficits). The pain lasted severely for 30 minutes then gradually decreased in intensity to ___. It remained as a dull, pressure headache in the R frontal area, persisted constantly before a couple of days until the next severe headache. The next severe headache occurred a couple of days later, in the same situation, and was the same quality, location, and intensity, again with no other associated symptoms. It lasted longer this time, about 2 hours, and again dulled slowly. The next severe headache occured 3 days prior to presentation. This time, it occurred just at the beginning of sexual activity (earlier than prior episodes). The headache again started above the R eye, but this time spread over the area above and behind the L eye. There was more nausea, and pain lasted even longer, about 3 to 4 hours. The pain diminished as in prior episodes, but was ___ and moderately uncomfortable. He had difficulty sleeping, and it hurt to lie on right side of his head. Today, at 3pm, the patient was bending over cleaning tires when another severe headache began suddenly. This was located above and behind both eyes, and was the worst yet in intensity.

___ yo RHM with PMHx of alcohol abuse, now sober who presents with thunderclap headache four times in week PTA, associated with coitus or exertion, and possible transient R facial droop. His CTA and LP were reassuring with regards to an aneurysm. He was admitted for further workup and treatment of his headache. . # NEURO: We got an MRV while he was here to ensure that he did not have a venous clot, and this was also negative. We started him on verapamil 80mg TID while here, and he was discharged on 240mg ER QD. We treated his headache with toradol, compazine and valium with some effect, but by the day of discharge he was much improved with just the verapamil. We also sent him home with indomethacin to use prior to sexual activity to prevent the onset of further coital headaches. . # CARDS: Patient's BP was elevated to the 150-160/80's while he was here. This improved to an SBP in the 140's with verapamil. He may require further antihypertensive medications in the future if his BP continues to be so elevated.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with fever, leukocytosis, elevated lactate, and tenderness to palpation. STUDY: CT of the torso with contrast. Although the patient's creatinine was 6.2, the patient is on dialysis and renal team is aware and plans for dialysis after the scan. 100 mL of Omnipaque intravenous contrast was administered without adverse reaction or complication. Images were acquired in the arterial phase. Images were then acquired in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were also generated. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: CHEST: The visualized portion of the thyroid demonstrates a heterogeneous 1.8 x 1.3 cm nodule in the left lobe of thyroid (2:7). No axillary, hilar, or mediastinal lymphadenopathy is noted. The aorta is of a normal caliber along its course without evidence of dissection or intramural hematoma; incidental note is made of a common origin of the brachiocephalic and left common carotid arteries, a normal variant. The pulmonary arterial trunk is of a normal caliber and there are no filling defects to the subsegmental level. The heart size is large, but there is no pericardial effusion. Small bilateral pleural effusions are present, but they are nonhemorrhagic in nature and minimal associated atelectasis is present. Scattered areas of ground-glass opacity are most compatible with pulmonary edema. ABDOMEN: Within the limits of early phase scan, the liver shows no focal lesion and mild-to-moderate periportal edema. Contrast is seen refluxing into the hepatic veins, raising the possibility of hepatic congestion. The gallbladder is decompressed, but shows moderate wall edema/pericholecystic fluid. No calcified stones are noted. The spleen is normal in size. The pancreas and adrenal glands show no masses or nodules. The kidneys enhance symmetrically but are atrophic. Both kidneys demonstrate multiple hypodense exophytic indeterminate lesions, some of which are cysts, but some of which have more mass-like or have more soft tissue-like densities. Neither kidney demonstrates hydronephrosis. The small and large bowel shows no evidence of obstruction or wall edema. There is no pneumatosis or portal venous gas. Scattered diverticula are present along the descending and sigmoid colon. There is no free air or lymphadenopathy. The abdominal aorta is of normal caliber along its course. The celiac and SMA are widely patent. The renal arteries and ___ are not narrowed. PELVIS: The bladder, uterus, and rectum appear unremarkable. Small amount of free fluid is present in the pelvis. Sigmoid diverticulosis is present without evidence of diverticulitis. No lymphadenopathy is seen. BONES: A lucent lesion with a sclerotic rim is present in the right iliac bone measuring 15 x 13 mm in the coronal plane (601B:49), and is benign-appearing. Mild-to-moderate multilevel degenerative changes are present throughout the thoracolumbar spine. IMPRESSION: 1. No PE or aortic dissection. 2. Cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema. 3. Heterogeneous nodule of the left lobe of the thyroid as described above. Ultrasound may be considered as clinically indicated. 4. Atrophic kidneys with multiple indeterminate lesions, some of which are cysts, but many of which are incompletely characterized, so RCC cannot be excluded; MR may be considered for further characterization. 5. Descending and sigmoid colonic diverticulosis without diverticulitis. 6. Periportal edema and decompressed gallbladder with wall edema, which is a nonspecific finding and may reflect CHF, hyperproteinemia, or hepatic dysfunction. 7. Small amount of free fluid in the pelvis, possibly reactive. 8. Benign-appearing but indeterminate lytic lesion in the right iliac bone without evidence of cortical disruption. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with right IJ line placed. STUDY: Portable semi-upright AP chest radiograph. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Moderate cardiomegaly is chronic. Mild edema has developed over the past six hours, following engorged hilar and peripheral pulmonary vasculature. Retrocardiac atelectasis is present. There is no pneumothorax. There is no pleural effusion or apical cap. There has been interval placement of a triple-lumen central venous catheter from a right IJ approach. Mild S-shaped scoliosis is present in the thoracolumbar spine. IMPRESSION: Status post right IJ central line placement without evidence of complication; worsening heart failure. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with one month of slowly progressive altered mental status, and new finding of an LV thrombus. COMPARISON: Non-contrast head CT from ___ TECHNIQUE: ___ MDCT axial images of the brain were obtained without intravenous contrast. NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, mass, mass effect, or infarction. No focal hypodensity is identified to suggest embolic phenomenon. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. There is minimal calcification of the cavernous carotid arteries. There is no shift of the usually midline structures. Suprasellar and basilar cisterns are widely patent. There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. IMPRESSION: Minimal cavernous carotid atheromatous disease, otherwise normal study.

___ yo woman with ESRD on dialysis, HTN, admitted for 6 weeks of worsening cough, posttussive emesis, waxing and waning mental status, found to have elevated lactate as high as 8 and new echo with dramatically reduced EF, 3+ TR/MR, mild RV failure, pulmonary hypertension, and LV thrombus. # CHF: Pt was found to have new biventricular heart failure (EF 20%) on echo with LV thrombus. ___ TTE which showed systolic dysfunction with EF of 45-50%. DDx includes recent silent MI (unlikely given lack of qwaves) or balanced ischemia from 3 vessel disease since stress MIBI was negative (patient is not a good candidate for CABG per discussion with family, nephrologist), chronic deterioration of hypertensive cardiomyopathy, or amyloid cardiomyopathy. Trop 0.04 in ED without EKG changes, and remained stable. P-MIBI ___ showed no reversible or fixed myocardial perfusion defects, diffuse hypokinesia, EF 24%. Based on this interpretation, we cannot rule out balanced ischemia, but since patient not candidate for CABG, it was agreed upon that cardiac catheterization was not necessary. Per Dr. ___ heart failure may be due to amyloid cardiomyopathy. - CT of head was negative for any intracranial process, so patient was given heparin bolus and heparin gtt was started for LV thrombus, until therapeutic on warfarin. - Continued home valsartan, started metoprolol at decreased dose (25mg TID) then uptitrated as tolerated back to home dose - Cont simvastatin 20 mg PO/NG DAILY - Cannot get spironolactone given ESRD - Continue HD for fluid removal qSaTuThu - Thiamine levels were not drawn prior to starting IV thiamine, empirically treating with daily thiamine supplementation as wet beri-beri is on the differential for cardiomyopathy with elevated lactate. - Consider outpatient workup of amyloid cardiomyopathy. If cardiac amyloid were present, most likely this would be from ESRD or senile, but have not yet ruled out light chain amyloid. As outpatient, could get SPEP/UPEP, serum light chains, and immunofixation, but deferred as inpaitnet. # LV thrombus: Apical hypokinesis and severely depressed LV function likely cause. - Heparin gtt bridge until therapeutic on warfarin # Elevated lactate: Rose to lactate of 8 on day of admission and then decreased to 1.8 with HD. Etiology of lactate elevation is unclear. - Normal serum osms. VBG (pH. 7.45, CO2 40). - There has been no known infectious process. No leukocytosis, CXR showed no consolidation, UA negative, blood cultures no growth. Got Vanc, cefepime, levofloxacin for one day but was discontinued on HD2 because no evidence of infection. Continued azithromycin for 4 days for possible atypical pneumonia vs pertussis given history of 6 weeks of severe cough with post-tussive emesis - HIV pending at time of discharge - Hep serologies pending at time of discharge - CT abd/pelvis negative for bowel ischemia, transplant surgery saw and felt no surgical issues - LV dysfunction without hypotension unlikely to cause this kind of lactate elevation. - Other etiologies include toxic ingestions: Patient has arthritis and dementia but does not endorse taking increased amounts of over the counter pain medications such as tyelenol or aspirin. LFTS only mildly elevated. Sertraline toxicity has been seen in a case study in rats to cause mitochondrial dysfunction and a lactic acidosis so this is a possibility. Sertraline was held per toxicology recommendations, but restarted with no new elevation in lactate. No blood in stool to suggest iron or colchicine ingestion. Negative serum tox screen. - Thiamine deficiency can also cause a lactic acidosis. Thiamine empirically repleted. # Cough: Cough for a few months with some emesis after coughing fits. Cough improved with diuresis, most likely etiology is pulmonary edema. Also possibly viral or pertussis given increased incidence recently. Sent serum studies for pertussis to state since swab will be negative 6 weeks out. Rec'd azithromycin ___. Infection control stated that patient does not need to be on droplet precautions because onset was 6 weeks ago and cough is improved. # AMS: Was brought in with confusion by her daughter that had been worsening over the days before admission. Improved during hospitalization but the patient per report has some baseline dementia. # ESRD on HD ___ schedule: When she was admitted she had missed a day of dialysis because of fatigue. On ___ she received dialysis and then received a partial dialysis on ___ to get her back on schedule. Received dialysis ___ prior to discharge. # HTN: Kept on home valsartan. Lopressor restarted on ___ and uptitrated back to her home dose on ___. # HLD: Kept on home dose of simvastatin # Osteoarthritis: Home tylenol was discontinued because of concern for toxicity while in the hospital. # Hypothyroidism: TSH 5.0 and free T4 0.99. Kept on home levothyroxine. # Depression: Held home sertraline in hospital for concern of toxicity and contribution of lactic acidosis. Restarted without any increase in lactate. # Anemia: HCT remained stable around 34.

ECG; sinus tach at 100 bpm, low voltages, no acute changes. MRI C-T-L Spine FINDINGS: There is mild thoracolumbar scoliosis. There is retrolisthesis of T12 on L1 and L1 on L2. Alignment of the lumbar spine is otherwise normal. There is no evidence of spinal bone destruction. There are large bilateral pleural effusions. There are changes of degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine with mild canal narrowing but no evidence of spinal cord compression. Degenerative changes in the thoracic spineproduce no encroachment on the spinal canal. In the lumbar spine comment degenerative changes from L2-L5 narrow the spinal canal. These are incompletely evaluated in the absence of axial images. Based on the sagittal images alone, it appears there may be moderate and perhaps severe spinal stenosis at L3-4 and at L4-5. IMPRESSION: No evidence of spinal cord compression. CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST ___: FINDINGS: There is no acute hemorrhage, edema or shift of the midline structures. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is consistent with global age involutional changes. Scattered periventricular white matter hypodensities, while nonspecific, are presumably sequela from chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The gray-white matter differentiation is preserved, without evidence for an acute territorial vascular infarction. The basal cisterns remain patent. The included paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. The imaged lenses and globes are normal. The soft tissues and calvarium are unremarkable. Calcifications are noted within the carotid siphons. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. CXR ___ FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest were provided. The lungs are hyperinflated with widened AP diameter of the chest, which likely reflects underlying COPD. There is blunting of the CP angles bilaterally which is compatible with small pleural effusion. Relative prominence of the hilar vascular structures raises potential concern for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Please correlate clinically. The heart size is within normal limits. The mediastinal contour appears normal. There is no pneumothorax. Bony structures are intact. IMPRESSION: COPD with tiny bilateral effusions. Possible pulmonary arterial hypertension accounting for the relative enlargement of the hilar vascular structures. 24 HR EEG ___: CONTINUOUS EEG: The background activity is abnormal. At times, there is a 7.0-7.5 Hz theta rhythm posteriorly. This is not a continuous rhythm. It is interrupted by irregular generalized and occasionally paroxysmal-appearing slowing. The more paroxysmal activity is midline and central and often appears as a triphasic wave. No clear spikes are associated with them. There appears to be slightly greater slowing over the left hemisphere seen mainly on the spectrogram. SPIKE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There were numerous automated spike detections for the paroxysmal triphasic-appearing waves. There were no epileptiform discharges. SEIZURE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There were no automated seizure detections. There were no electrographic seizures. QUANTITATIVE EEG: Trend analysis was performed with Persyst Magic Marker software. Panels included automated seizure detection, rhythmic run detection and display, color spectral density array, absolute and relative asymmetry indices, asymmetry spectrogram, amplitude integrated EEG, burst suppression ratio, envelope trend, and alpha delta ratios. Segments showing abnormal trends were reviewed and showed the mild hemispheric asymmetry suggesting slightly greater left hemisphere pathology. PUSHBUTTON ACTIVATIONS: There were no pushbutton activations. SLEEP: While there was no clear cycling into deeper stages of sleep, there did appear, on occasion, to be some in regular moderate to high amplitude generalized slowing associated clinically with the patient being asleep. This suggests at least some slow wave sleep remnants. CARDIAC MONITOR: Showed a generally regular rhythm with an average rate of 60-80 bpm. IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous ICU monitoring study because of the presence of background slowing with intermittent paroxysmal triphasic waves. This is most compatible with a metabolic encephalopathy. However, there did appear to be slightly greater slowing broadly across the left hemisphere. It is possible there is also structural pathology within the left hemisphere. No clear interictal discharges or more sustained seizure events were detected or recorded. MRI HEAD ___ FINDINGS: The study is compared with the recent NECT dated ___. There is scattered, both discrete and confluent T2-/FLAIR-hyperintensity in bihemispheric subcortical, deep and periventricular white matter, likely representing the sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease, as on the CT. There is no focus of slow diffusion to suggest either acute ischemia or malignant involvement. The principal intracranial vascular flow voids, including those of the dural venous sinuses, are preserved and these structures enhance normally. There is no pathologic parenchymal, leptomeningeal or dural focus of enhancement. There is moderate prominence of the extra-axial CSF spaces, the cortical sulci and fissures and the ventricles and cisterns, representing global atrophy, with a prominent central component and an "etat crible" appearance. There is no intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage or space-occupying lesion. The sella, parasellar region and remainder of the skull base are unremarkable. There is evidence of bilateral ocular lens surgery. The included paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are grossly clear. The calvarial, clival and included upper cervical vertebral bone marrow is uniformly T1-hypointense, likely related to the underlying myeloma. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial abnormality. 2. No space-occupying lesion or pathologic enhancement. 3. Moderate global atrophy with prominent central component, and sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. 4. Diffuse bone marrow T1-hypointensity, reflecting myelomatous involvement. Medications on Admission: The Preadmission Medication list may be inaccurate and requires futher investigation. 1.

Ms. ___ is a ___ year old woman with a history of colon cancer in remission s/p resection, papillary thyroid cancer s/p ablation, and currently undergoing chemo for IgA Myeloma with cytoxan, velcade, and decadron who presents with altered mental status, frequent falls, failure to thrive. # Encephalopathy - Patient presented with subacute mental status decline x 2 months characterized by increased word finding difficulties. These changes were noted to start at approximately the same time that the patient was started on Decadron. Dexamethasone-induced mental status changes are considered possible, especially given how small this patient is and the time course of her symptoms. Her EEG revealed asymmetric slowing over the left lateral temporal region compatible with possibly vascular or structural abnormality also associated with epileptic discharges. Neurology was consulted and upon review of her MRI there was no underlying structural abnormality as the cause of the EEG findings. Given that she did not have any clinical or definite electrographic seizures there was no indication to start an antiepileptic. An infectious workup of her symptoms was negative. Electrolytes, AM cortisol, and TSH were within normal limtits. Toxicology screen was negative (though would not detect home lorazepam usage). Ammonia level only slightly elevated and the slight elevation would not be expected to cause her symptoms. RPR was negative. Serum viscosity also slightly above normal limits, though again the levels would not be expected to cause her presentation. CEA was obtained to rule out recurrence of her colon cancer and was within normal limits. B12 levels were low and she was started on B12 supplementation. She will continue cyanocobalamin on discharge. # Recurrent falls: The etiology is likely multifactorial and related to atrophic changes noted on her MRI brain combined with failure to thrive. The patient lives alone and per her brother may not be receiving adequate nutrition at home or taking her medications appropriately. There is no evidence of structural heart disease on ___ ECHO. Her orthostatics were negative. Telemetry revealed no evidence of arrhythmia. She did not present with clinical or definite electrographic seizures. MRI did not reveal intracranial structural abnormalities to account for her symptoms and her physical exam did not reveal focal abnormalities. MRI pan-spine without spinal cord lesions, though did have stenosis and degenerative discs. She will be discharged to undergo physical rehabilitation. # B12 deficiency anemia: MCV high, B12 level 256, and hypersegmented neutrophils on peripheral smear. Patient given 1000mcg B12 IM x 5 days during her stay in addition to oral tablets. Hemoglobin was stable this admission. # Polypharmacy: We were unable to reconcile patient's home medications, as it seems she, her family, or her ___ providers could not verify what she is actually taking. We stopped lorazepam indefinitely, reduced her bupropion, and simplified her regimen as best possible. More of her medications may be able to be stopped. ***Strongly suggest thorough medication reconciliation (have her bring in every pill bottle in her home), and reducing/avoiding deliriogenic medications or complex regimens (such as Fluoxetine only on ___ and ___. # Acute ?diastolic CHF exacerbation: On admission, patient was volume overloaded on exam with elevated BNP. Outpatient records indicate a recent normal ECHO and even workup for amyloid disease in the heart (negative). However she does have past exacerbations of heart failure. Here, 40mg of IV lasix resulted in robust diuresis and some reflex tachycardia, so in the future recommend starting with 20mg IV furosemide. She was restarted on home furosemide 40mg PO by discharge. She was breathing comfortably throughout her stay.

Hypovolemia vs sepsis ___ severe, complicated C diff. This was the patient's third occurance of C diff, and he had recently completed a course of PO vancomycin one week prior to admission. Initial c diff presentation was s/p CABG 2 months prior. Patient with ___ SIRS criteria on presentation in ED, with WBC 19.6 and HR 98. Blood pressure was controlled with IVF and Levophed drip. Patient started on IV vancomycin, IV ceftriaxone, and IV Flagyl in the ED, and was given PO vancomycin upon arrival to the unit. Patient was eventually weaned from pressors and transferred to the floor. On the floor, pt remained afebrile and HD stable. Stool output decreased and leukocytosis resolved; IV flagyl was discontinued and PO vancomycin dose was decreased. Pt was taken off IV fluids. Pt to complete long (~7 week) PO vancomycin taper per ID recommendation and will follow up with ID. . # Chest pain / EKG changes. Patient had c/o chest pain at ___ and had some T wave inversions that correlated with his drop in pressure; those resolved fairly soon afterward. Patient had a history of stable angina. His initial troponin was 0.05, repeat in BIDMCED downtrending to 0.02. He did transiently had an increase in his troponin to 0.12, but he soon thereafter downtrended. He was transiently started on heparin drip in the interim. He did not experience any other chest pain during hospitalization. Felt likely due to demand ischemia. Once blood pressure recovered, was continued on home metoprolol as well as aspirin. . # Anemia: Likely due to inflammation in the setting of C diff infection and IVF resuscitation. No symptoms or signs of active blood loss. Hct improved gollowing admission. . # Hyponatremia: Likely due to volume resuscitation with LR; improved prior to discharge. . # Coagulopathy: His INR was elevated to 2.0 for unclear reasons – possibly decreased vitamin K in the setting of c diff and copious diarrhea. INR corrected to 1.3 after receiving Vitamin K doses. . #HTN: Continued on metoprolol once blood pressure recovered. .

TECHNIQUE: OPERATOR: Dr. ___ radiology attending) performed the procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation could not be provided due to the patient's low blood pressure. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: Per nursing staff. CONTRAST: 30 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 20 min, 275 mGy PROCEDURE: PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The left groin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. After injection of local lidocaine at the entry site of the current tunneled catheter into the left common femoral vein, a small skin incision was made. A stiff wire was introduced through the existing tunneled catheter. And the tunneled catheter removed using traction. The wire was then removed from the tunnel and pulled out close to the venotomy. Over the wire, first a dialysis catheter with of the IP port and then a temporary dialysis catheter were advanced. No blood return was noted through either lumen of both catheters. A venogram through the catheter in the left common iliac vein showed clot extending up to the junction of the common iliac vein and IVC. The IVC itself was patent. Since the temporary dialysis catheters were 2 short, the decision was placed to replace a 43 cm tip to cuff tunneled double lumen dialysis catheter. A 43 cm 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 suprarenal IVC. The sheath was then peeled away. The catheter was sutured in place with 0 silk sutures. ___ subcuticular Vicryl sutures and Steri-strips were also used to close the venotomy incision site. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The catheter was flushed and both lumens were capped. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. FINDINGS: Venogram of left common iliac vein showing occlusion of the left common iliac and external iliac veins. The IVC itself is patent. Chronic Occlusion of the left common iliac and left external iliac veins prevent placement of temporary dialysis catheters. Successful replacement of existing tunneled 43 cm tip to cuff dialysis catheter with a new 43 cm tip to cuff dialysis catheter through the same tunnel and venotomy. IMPRESSION: Successful exchange of a 43 cm tip to cuff length tunneled dialysis line. The tip of the catheter terminates in the suprarenal IVC. The catheter is ready for use.

___, is a ___ man who presented after being 5.4 x 4.0 cm left parieto-occipital intraparenchymal hemorrhage possibly secondary to micro-AVM. # Left parietooccipital intraparenchymal hemorrhage He presented after being found confused and wandering at his apartment complex. Neurologic exam revealed right pronator drift, decreased sensation to light touch in the right upper extremity and lower extremity, but he was otherwise full strength. Negative lab w/u including negative serum tox, urine tox. CT of the head revealed a large left parietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, with a midline shift 4 mm. He was initially intubated for airway protection and admitted to neuro ICU with mannitol and HTS. He was extubated within 24 hours. CTA and MRI w/ contrast with no evidence of AVM or underlying mass. There was some concern for fibromuscular dysplasia given ribbed appearance of bilateral carotids, but this was ultimately felt to be due to pulse artifact. Conventional angio ___ with possible micro AVM due to early filling vein on the left, possibly a draining vein. No family history of aneurysm, AVM, ICH per family and no family history of CTD. No personal history of hypertension and no hypertension throughout his stay. He had a renal u/s which was negative for renal artery stenosis. His exam was significant for mild anisocoria (resolved at discharge), slight right nasolabial fold flattening, right lower quadrantanopsia with extinguishing in the right upper quadrant with double simultaneous stimulation (resolved at discharge), as well as mild pronation of the right hand at times. He had no weakness or sensory change on confrontational testing. He will need follow-up MRI 1 month post discharge for further characterization of AVM. This has been scheduled for ___. He was evaluated by ___ who recommended rehab on discharge. # CK elevation CK elevated to ~4000. Etiology may have been shaking movements observed with propofol infusion on admission. No further episodes and CK trended down with fluids. # Right groin hematoma Cerebral angiogram complicated by right groin hematoma confirmed by ultrasound. No aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm identified.

Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during any key components of the procedure where applicable and reviewed and agrees with the findings as reported below. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 75mcg of fentanyl and 1.5 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 30 min during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 1.5 min, 1 mGy PROCEDURE: PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The left upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent left internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire was then passed distally into the IVC. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a 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. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The catheter was flushed and both lumens were capped. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. FINDINGS: Patent left internal jugular vein.

TECHNIQUE: Single frontal view of the chest COMPARISON: ___ IMPRESSION: Large pneumoperitoneum is grossly unchanged. Cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged. Bilateral effusions are small. The lungs are grossly clear. NG tube tip is in the stomach Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old man with recent umbilical hernia repair // Evaluate for progression of free air COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___ FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest provided. Interval removal of an orogastric tube. On the lateral view there is poor definition of vessels. No pneumothorax. There is significantly more free air under the right and left hemidiaphragm. Small, bilateral pleural effusions and associated atelectasis are mildly worsened. Hilar and cardiomediastinal contours are normal. IMPRESSION: 1. There is significantly more free air under the right and left hemidiaphragm. 2. On the lateral view, there is poor definition of vessels projecting over the left lower lobe. In the appropriate clinical setting, this may represent superimposed pneumonia. 3. Small, bilateral pleural effusions and associated atelectasis are mildly worsened. NOTIFICATION: Lateral view, poor deifniton of vessels in app clinical setting superimposed consolidation Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with cirrhosis recent umbilical hernia repair with bacterial peritonitis and worsening free air on CXR // Evaluate for intrabdominal process contributing to worsening free air/perforationEvaluate with IV and PO contrast TECHNIQUE: MDCT scanning was performed from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis following the intravenous administration of 130 cc of Omnipaque. The patient received water soluble oral contrast (Gastrografin). Coronal and sagittal re-formatted images are provided. DLP: 762.69 mGy-cm COMPARISON: No prior CT. MRI abdomen of ___ FINDINGS: Small bilateral pleural effusions, left slightly greater than right, are low-density. There is adjacent bibasilar atelectasis. Mitral annular calcifications are noted. Imaged portions of heart and pericardium appear otherwise unremarkable. There is a large quantity of free intraperitoneal air layering throughout the abdomen within a background of moderate ascites. Patient is status post umbilical hernia repair with a hyperdense linear focus consistent with mesh at the repair site. Superficial to the mesh repair is a fluid collection within the anterior abdominal wall, centered in the subcutaneous fat, that measures 2.6 x 10.7 cm and also contains bubbles of gas. This extends to the skin incision. The bowel is opacified with water-soluble oral contrast to the level of the mid sigmoid colon. There is no evidence of extravasation of oral contrast to suggest a site of enteric leak. No bowel obstruction. Liver: The liver is diffusely nodular in contour consistent with cirrhosis with a TIPS shunt in place in first showing wall to wall internal enhancement consistent with patency. This technique is not optimized to assess for liver lesions although no discrete masses are identified in the liver. The right anterior portal vein is not well visualized and possibly contains a filling defect (02:14). Left portal vein is similarly difficult to visualize although may simply be diminutive. It is noted that the right anterior portal vein was patent on the recent Doppler ultrasound of ___. Bile ducts and gallbladder: Gallbladder is moderately distended with wall thickening at the fundus which may relate to third spacing. All there is no intra or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. Pancreas: Pancreas divisum is incidentally noted. Pancreas appears otherwise unremarkable. Spleen and adrenal glands: The adrenal glands and spleen appear unremarkable except note that the spleen is top-normal in size. Kidneys: Kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically without evidence of hydronephrosis or concerning focal renal lesions. Aorta is normal in caliber with atherosclerotic calcification. The celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries are grossly patent. Main portal vein and superior mesenteric veins are patent. CT of the pelvis with intravenous contrast: There is moderate to large ascites in the pelvis. A small amount of air is seen in the bladder which would be compatible with recent Foley catheter presence. Trace enhancement of the peritoneal lining is seen in the cul-de-sac. Rectum and sigmoid colon are fluid filled and appear otherwise unremarkable. No pathologically enlarged pelvic or inguinal lymph nodes. Bone windows: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions are identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Moderate ascites throughout the abdomen with pneumoperitoneum. While this raises suspicion for enteric leak, there is no extravasation of oral contrast, which has passed to the level of the sigmoid colon, and the finding could be postoperative in nature. Prior umbilical hernia repair with ascites fluid and pneumoperitoneum tracking into the anterior abdominal wall just deep to the surgical incision. 2. Small bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. 3. Hepatic cirrhosis with patent TIPS. The right anterior portal vein is not well visualized by CT and thrombosis cannot be excluded. However, it is noted that the vein was patent on ultrasound of ___ and could simply be diminutive. 4. Pancreas divisum. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with EtOH cirrhosis ascites s/p umbilical hernia repair w/ mesh ___, presented with altered mental status. // Please perform ultrasound-guided paracentesis ___. Please send fluid for cell count and cultures. Dr. ___. TECHNIQUE: Ultrasound guided diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: Limited grayscale ultrasound imaging of the abdomen demonstrated a large amount of ascites. A suitable target in the deepest pocket in the right lower quadrant was selected for paracentesis. PROCEDURE: The procedure, risks, benefits and alternatives were discussed with the patient and written informed consent was obtained. A preprocedure time-out was performed discussing the planned procedure, confirming the patient's identity with 3 identifiers, and reviewing a checklist per ___ protocol. Under ultrasound guidance, an entrance site was selected and the skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine was instilled for local anesthesia. A 5 ___ catheter was advanced into the largest fluid pocket in the right lower quadrant and 1.5 L of clear orange fluid was removed. A sample was sent to the lab and microbiology as requested. The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complication. Estimated blood loss was minimal. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. IMPRESSION: Successful ultrasound-guided diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis yielding 1.5 L of clear orange fluid. A sample was sent to the lab and microbiology as requested.

Large intraluminal bladder hematoma extrudes through the defect. Right ureter is opacified to the level of the very distal ureter, however the UVJ remains unopacified, therefore injury to the UVJ is unable to be excluded. Left proximal ureteral injury with large amount of extravasated contrast within the left perinephric space. The mid to distal ureter remains unopacified. Cannot exclude complete left ureteral disruption (of note, the entire course of the left ureter was seen on the earlier CT). Small volume high-density fluid in the perihepatic space and gallbladder fossa. ___ Cystogram: Images show placement of right double-J stent. A catheter and wire could not be passed into the left renal pelvis (the patient has known injury to the proximal left ureter). ___ Perc Nephrostomy: Successful placement of 8 ___ nephrostomy on the left. ___ CT Sinus: Nondisplaced fractures involving the bilateral nasal bones. Moderate associated facial swelling overlying the soft tissues of the anterior facial midline. ___ CT Pelvis Cystogram: No evidence of intraperitoneal bladder rupture.

Interval decrease in size of the intraluminal bladder hematoma. ___ Bladder US: The bladder is collapsed around a Foley catheter. There is a small residual hematoma adjacent to the Foley catheter. Small volume free fluid. ___ CT ___: 1. Interval reduction of the talus, now in anatomic alignment. 2. Multiple fractures in the right foot, as detailed above. ___ CT Torso: 1. New 3.3 x 2.8 x 3.7 cm rim enhancing fluid collection in the expected location of the proximal left ureter, abutting the lateral aspect of the left psoas muscle, likely a urinoma given the known proximal left ureteral rupture. Superimposed infection cannot be excluded. The collection contains foci of air, but these may be related to the left percutaneous nephrostomy. 2. 5.5 x 3.9 cm rim enhancing cystic structure in the prior location of a 2.3 cm left ovarian cyst, likely interim enlargement of a left ovarian cyst. A second site of urinoma is less likely. However, this may be better assessed by pelvic ultrasound, if clinically warranted. 3. Right nephroureteral stent and left percutaneous nephrostomy stent both appear well positioned. No hydronephrosis. 4. Air in the bladder is likely secondary to the Foley catheter. Previously noted extraperitoneal bladder rupture is not adequately reassessed on this exam, as there is no radiopaque contrast in the bladder at this time. 5.

There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. New 3.3 x 2.8 x 3.7 cm rim enhancing fluid collection in the expected location of the proximal left ureter, abutting the lateral aspect of the left psoas muscle, likely a urinoma given the known proximal left ureteral rupture. Superimposed infection cannot be excluded. The collection contains foci of air, but these may be related to the left percutaneous nephrostomy. 2. 5.5 x 3.9 cm rim enhancing cystic structure in the prior location of a 2.3 cm left ovarian cyst, likely interim enlargement of a left ovarian cyst. A second site of urinoma is less likely. However, this may be better assessed by pelvic ultrasound, if clinically warranted. 3. Right nephroureteral stent and left percutaneous nephrostomy stent both appear well positioned. No hydronephrosis. 4. Air in the bladder is likely secondary to the Foley catheter. Previously noted extraperitoneal bladder rupture is not adequately reassessed on this exam, as there is no radiopaque contrast in the bladder at this time. 5.

These images were obtained from an outside hospital and uploaded for second read review by a radiologist at the ___ ___. CT OF THE CHEST: A small left bleb is noted within the lower lung (series 8, image 16). There is no evidence of pneumothorax, focal consolidation or pleural effusion. The visualized heart and pericardium are unremarkable. The great vessels are within normal limits. Mediastinal, axillary and hilar lymph nodes ___ not meet size criteria for pathologic enlargement. A 6mm cavitary nodule in the left upper lobe anterior segment surrounded by ground glass opacity is noted (4, 45). Calcification of the right thyroid lobe is noted. This study is not optimized for subdiaphragmatic review. Within this limitation, a small hypodensity is noted within the left lobe of the liver (7, 20) which is too small to characterize. The patient is status post cholecystectomy. The spleen, pancreas, and bilateral adrenal glands appear unremarkable. The common bile duct is mildly prominent, likely reflecting post-cholecystectomy state. It measures approximately 8 mm. Both kidneys enhance symmetrically without evidence of hydronephrosis. Hypodensities are noted within bilateral kidneys, some of which are too small to characterize. The largest hypodensity within the interpolar region of the left kidney measures approximately 16 mm. An interpolar fat density lesion in the right kidney measuring 1cm appears consistent with an angiomyolipoma. There is no free air or free fluid within the visualized portions of the upper abdomen. A left anterolateral fifth rib fracture and possible fourth rib fracture is identified. Minimally displaced transverse process fractures of the L2 and L3 vertebral bodies are identified and are better delineated on the same day lumbar CT spine study. There is S-shaped scoliosis with rightward convexity in the upper thoracic portion and leftward convexity in the lower thoracolumbar portion. IMPRESSION: 1. Anterolateral left 4, ___ acute rib fractures. 2.
