Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with CAD s/p CABG, diastolic heart failure with 1+ AI and 1+ MR, poorly controlled hypertension, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter/palpitations, peripheral vascular disease, borderline diabetes, renal artery stenosis, venous insufficiency, degenerative joint disease, TIA and morbid obesity who presents with episode of syncope at home. # Syncope: She syncopized while she was folding towels at home. The patient noted a HA prior to the event, and some CP following. She was noted to be hypertensive during the event as well. Her HTN and CP resolved with SLNTG. She had a NCHCT as well as a CTA of her head which were negative for ICH/ SAH. She was monitored on telemetry and had no evidence of VT or rapid ventricular response with hypotension to explain her event. She underwent TTE which showed no AS or other valvular abnormalities which would explain her syncope. She did have evidence of PAH and RV dysfunction, as well as ___ c/w her known AF. With no identifiable cause identified, this likely represents vasovagal syncope. If she has a recurrence of syncope, it would be reasonable to consider holter monitoring given her extensive cardiac history. # Hypertensive emergency: Pt was noted to be hypertensive with her initial headache preceding the event, which improved with x1 dose of SLNTG. She was managed on her home hydralazine and losartan while in house. She intermittently required IV hydralazine for SBP in the 190's, though she was asymptomatic and at rest during these periods. She should likely have uptitration of her antihypertensive regimen on an outpatient basis. # Acute on chronic diastolic heart failure (1+AI, 1+MR): Ms ___ was noted to be volume overloaded on exam with bibasilar crackles upon admission. She received PO and IV furosemide during her stay, which improved her exam until she was euvolemic. She was then transitioned back to her home 40mg PO Lasix daily and this should be followed and titrated over time. Her weight on discharge was 71.7 kg. # Complicated UTI: UA positive on admission with minimal CVAT on exam. She was treated with 5d of IV ceftriaxone. # Chronic constipation: the patient has known constipation and was complaining of upper abd pain c/w her prior constipation. She was given lactulose which helped her have multiple BM's, which improved her pain. She was continued on her home bowel regimen upon discharge. # Atrial fibrillation (status post surgical PVI with resection ___ in ___. c/b TIA: The patient's coumadin was adjusted for ease of home dosing to 3mg QD. Additionally, her carvedilol was held while in house given her persistent bradycardia to the 50's at rest. She was able to augment her HR with exercise. Thus her carvedilol was held upon discharge pending follow-up with her PCP and cardiology. CHRONIC ISSUES # Coronary artery disease (status post four-vessel CABG, LIMA to LAD, SVG to D1, SVG to OM1, SVG to ramus, NSTEMI ___: home aspirin, losartan, simvastatin were continued. The patient's home carvedilol was held given her bradycardia. # Dyslipidemia: Continued simvastatin 40 mg qd Transitional issues #Incidentally, on CT C-spine a 3 mm left lung apex pulmonary nodule was identified, she will need repeat chest imaging in the future and follow-up of this nodule if indicated based on risk factors and smoking history #She finished a course of ceftriaxone for complicated UTI while in house #Pt will have neurology f/u for multiple aneurysms seen on CTA which was never followed up previously #Pt will be set up with cardiology and pulmonology follow-up for markedly elevated PASP, ___ and changes seen on TTE #If the patient has recurrent syncope, consider Holter monitor in the future #Standing weight on discharge: 71.7 kg #Sent out on this Lasix dose: 40mg PO QD #Pt should have electrolytes checked at next PCP ___ #Patient's home carvedilol was held during this admission given her bradycardia during her stay #The patient's warfarin was changed to 3mg daily to ease administration #patient should have her INR checked on ___

___ year old male with history of peripheral neuropathy, hemochromatosis, HTN, HLD and healing L fibula fracture presented with cellulitis. . #Cellulitis - the patient had a callous on the lateral side of his right foot and then developed erythema, edema, and warmth over the area consistent with cellulitis 4 days prior to admission. He has a lesion from a blister which was probed and is superficial. His Xray showed a healing left fibula fracture and only soft tissue swelling with no evidence of osteomyelitis. He was initially given vancomycin and zosyn in the ED. On day 2 of admission, the cellulitis was diminished. He had minimal pain. Osteomyelitis is unlikely given the superficial nature of the lesion, rapid improvement, and lack of pain over the bone. The patient was discharged on Bactrim DS BID for 7 days in addition to the augmentin prescription he was prescribed at urgent care. He was told to follow up with his PCP and podiatry next week. He should have ongoing care with podiatry given his neuropathy and structural problems with his feet. . # Hypertension - continued home dose lisinopril . # Hyperlipidemia - continued home dose simvastatin . # Depression - continued home dose citalopram . # Gout - continued home dose allopurinol

The region of the pineal tumor the slightly hypodense on the current study. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ___ with 2 wks of HA, nausea, vomiting and unsteadiness. MRI revealed pineal mass // interval change TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without contrast. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 4.8 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 53.0 mGy (Head) DLP = 848.0 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 848 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT ___, MR head ___ FINDINGS: A VP shunt terminates in the region of the foramen of ___. An ill-defined hypodense lesion in midline at the site of previously seen pineal mass. The hypodensity within the lesion is new since the earlier CT of ___ but unchanged from ___ and could be due to tumor necrosis or infarction. There is also a hypodensity seen within the region of the corpus callosum series 3, image 16 which although unchanged from the earlier examination of ___ is better visualized on the current study and extends superiorly in the midline. The ventricles are smaller than seen on the previous study. A small amount of blood products are seen inferiorly in the third ventricle which due to redistribution of previously seen blood products . There is no definite new hemorrhage identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Hypodensity in the region of previously seen tumor as well as in the midline involving the genu and anterior portion of corpus callosum could be related to ischemic changes . Further evaluation with MRI of the brain is recommended. 2. The ventricular size is decreased compared to the prior study. 3. There is redistribution of blood products in the third ventricle but no definite new hemorrhage seen. RECOMMENDATION(S): MRI with gadolinium. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ ___ on the telephoneon ___ at 4:45 ___, 3 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T9112 MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old woman with pineal mass status post stereotactic biopsy on ___ and VP shunt placement on ___. Further investigation is requested of new hypodensity in the region of the tumor and in the ___ and anterior corpus callosum, seen on the ___ head CT and concerning for ischemia. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After administration of 9 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. COMPARISON: Postsurgical head CTs from ___. Presurgical MRI of the head from ___ and CTA of the head ___. FINDINGS: The midline mass centered in the pineal region demonstrates thick, irregular, and nodular peripheral enhancement, as seen previously. The central nonenhancing portion of the mass has markedly expanded compared to the preoperative MRI from ___. This causes interval enlargement of the mass with increased anterior extension. The mass now measures 5.8 cm AP, 3.7 cm craniocaudad, and 4.8 cm transverse, images 9:125 and 10:13, compared to 4.0 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm when measured in the same planes on ___. The central nonenhancing portion of the mass is heterogeneous with predominantly high signal on T2 weighted images. Its signal on precontrast T1 weighted images is lobe was higher than that of CSF. It demonstrates only small foci of low signal intensity on gradient echo images, consistent with small amount of blood products. The enhancing rim of the mass demonstrates low signal on gradient echo images, consistent with blood products. There is mild contrast enhancement along the right superior cerebellar folia, similar to the preoperative MRI from ___, suggesting tumor infiltration. There is linear T1 hyperintensity, low signal on gradient echo images, and contrast enhancement extending from the right posterior aspect of the pineal region mass to the right parietal burr hole, consistent with blood and probably reactive enhancement along the surgical biopsy track. A right frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter is again seen in place with its tip in the frontal horn of right lateral ventricle. The ventricles are slit-like, unchanged compared to the most recent CT from ___, but decreased compared to the ___ head CT obtained immediately following VP shunt placement. There is persistent slight asymmetry in the size of frontal horns of the lateral ventricles, right smaller than left. There is no evidence for acute infarction on diffusion-weighted images. Major flow voids of the circle of ___ appear grossly preserved. ___ cisterna magna is again noted, a normal variant. There is mild mucosal thickening in left greater than right maxillary sinuses and ethmoid air cells. IMPRESSION: 1. The ventricles appear slit-like, similar to the most recent CT from ___, but decreased compared to ___. VP shunt catheter position is stable. 2. The large peripherally enhancing midline mass centered in the pineal region demonstrates marked enlargement of its central nonenhancing portion compared to the preoperative MRI from ___. The mass is now overall larger, extending further anteriorly. The expanded central nonenhancing portion appears heterogeneous, with complex fluid and small amount of blood. The enlargement is most likely secondary to decreased intracranial pressure and associated fluid shifts after relief of hydrocephalus. 3. Unchanged mild contrast enhancement along the right superior cerebellar folia compared to the preoperative MRI, suggesting tumor infiltration. 4. Linear blood products and contrast enhancement along the biopsy track through the right parietal and occipital parenchyma. The contrast enhancement is presumably reactive, but should be reassessed on follow up. 5. No evidence for an acute infarction.

Last night, on 2 occasions patient awoke suddenly from sleep and sat bolt upright (felt like she was being "pulled up" into sitting position), with a sudden extreme fear sensation and screaming. Also smelled something "unpleasant" at this time which has difficulty describing, not a burning smell. The episodes lasted ~10 seconds each, and were followed by feeling of extreme fatigue. No frank LOC during events, although has difficulty fully remembering them afterward. In the morning, she had 2 more of the same spells while downstairs in her home. No palpitations, nausea or rising sensation. No headache except for occasional bifrontal pressure headache which she attributes to sinuses. Has history of anxiety but felt very different from this, no increased stressors at home. She called Dr. ___ recommended she come to the ED for neurology evaluation and possible admission. In the ED waiting room, she had another spell. Has also had an episode of olfactory aura alone (no fear) since arriving in her room, none witnessed by me. She now feels she is back to baseline but her husband states she is "not herself" (he has difficulty describing exactly what he means by this, but does think she seems a little "slower" than usual). In terms of factors lowering seizure threshold, 2 weeks ago was recently treated for a sinus infection (presenting with facial pain, nasal congestion and purulent discharge) two weeks ago but has been having ear "fullness" and conjunctival injection since then. She has recently started antibiotic ear drops for this and is scheduled to see ENT this week. Denies fever, chills, rhinorrhea, dysuria, nausea, diarrhea, cough, sputum. She has been having "interrupted" sleep for past few nights but otherwise sleeping well. Has not missed any doses of her gabapentin. Patient she first developed the above spells (sudden fear sensation, screaming, olfactory aura) in ___ and was admitted to the EMU for 5 days to capture events. Gabapentin was weaned off during the admission. EEG showed occasional bitemporal (L>R) slowing and L temporal sharps but no epileptiform discharges or seizures. During hospitalization she had an MRI brain which was unremarkable, and an LP with paraneoplastic antibody panel and cytology which was all normal. She was discharged home on increased Gabapentin dose, and has remained seizure-free since then (until today). She was also admitted to EMU in ___ for separate events concerning for CPSz vs. migraine aura without headache. She has a history of migraine headaches in her ___ with complex auras (zig-zag lines, headache and confusion). In ___ she developed new events: sense of something about to happen, flashing lights, cloudy vision, visual field cut and face/lips/arm numbness. She was started on Keppra (stopped ___ due to side effect of feeling sick and tired), subsequently added clonazepam and gabapentin. Then added Oxcarbazepine which gave her a rash. Was admitted to EMU from ___ where all AEDs were stopped to capture events. EEG showed bitemporal sharp and spike epileptiform discharges, but no seizures. She was discharged on gabapentin monotherapy. Ultimate etiology of these events was thought to be migraine aura without headache. EPILEPSY RISK FACTORS: She was hit in the head with a baseball ___ years ago, no LOC. Has a cousin with seizures, no other FHx of epilepsy or neurologic problems. No history of meningitis or encephalitis. Highest level of education was college.

___ is a ___ LH F with h/o complex migraines and migrainous aura without headache vs. partial complex seizure disorder (on gabapentin monotherapy w bitemporal discharges on EEG), breast cancer s/p resection and glaucoma who presents with multiple events in the past 24 hrs concerning for breakthrough seizures. Describes these as sudden sensation of being "pulled forward", extreme fear and screaming, and unpleasant smell that last 10 seconds and are followed by fatigue. Has had total of 5 spells since last night and one olfactory aura in ED. Of note, recently had sinusitis and has ongoing ear fullness and conjunctival injection, which could be a risk factor for increased seizure frequency. She was admitted to the EMU for EEG LTM with hopes of capturing an event. However, she had no further events upon admission, so rather than waiting to have telemetry started, the patient asked to leave with plans for elective admission in the future. She was counseled that she remained at risk of having futher seizure events at home, and she should continue to practice seizure precautions, and return to the ED if she felt unsafe.

Gender: F Race: HISPANIC/LATINO - PUERTO RICAN Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: Altered mental status Diagnosed with PNEUMONIA,ORGANISM UNSPECIFIED, DIAB W MANIF NEC ADULT temperature: 95.7 heartrate: 61.0 resprate: 14.0 o2sat: 99.0 sbp: 157.0 dbp: 86.0 level of pain: 13 level of acuity: 2.0
___ ___ presents from SNF with confusion and restlessness overnight, found to be hypoglycemic and hypotensive, with possible HCAP s/p treatment, course complicated by decompensated heart failure, severe delirium, poor PO, and thrombocytopenia. ISSUES ACTIVE AT DISCHARGE # thrombocytopenia: Gradually downtrending since admission, nadired at 52 on ___, currently 72 at discharge. No clinical evidence of bleeding and no H&H drop, so consumptive thrombocytopenia unlikely. Liver and spleen appeared normal on CT in ___ and LFTs were WNL. Etiology was not entirely clear. She was seen by the hematology consult service, and an initial work up was done. Could be due to iron deficiency, medication effect (on cefepime ___, or other etiology. Very low likelihood of HIT. Will need hematology follow up with Dr. ___. # Suspicion for Hypothyroidism: TSH of 12, however in the setting of a hospitalized patient with recent serious medical illness this admission, utility of this TSH is less certain. Her encephalopathy recovered prior to supplementation, so repeat TSH in ___ week recommended to confirm diagnosis. She was not started on supplementation. # Encephalopathy: Initially was quite delerious with mental status ranging from somnolent (responsive to pain) to agitated (pulling IVs and dobhoffs) to baseline (A&O x ___ and pleasantly chatty). For the ___ days prior to discharge, she was at baseline and meaninfully involved in her ___, without any need for chemical or medical restraints. Was possibly related to her pneumonia, heart failure, dysynchronous day/night cycle, and dobhoff. Keppra level was 34.4 (unclear whether peak/trough), which was above the expected range for a 500mg BID dosing schedule (trough RR is 3.1-10.0 mcg/mL and peak RR is 10.0-25.0 mcg/mL). However her mental status improved, so the dosing was not changed. She is very easily oversedated by trazodone, which we discontinued using during this hospitalization. Her Zolpidem was also discontinued. Scheduled 12.5mg seroquel at night to aid with establishing day/night routine. # Hypoglycemia/Type 2 Diabetes: Her initial hypoglycemia prior to presentation was likely related to HCAP, poor PO intake, and insulin regimen. She was changed from 20 units of 70/30 BID with ISS to 10 glargine qHS with sliding scale with no lows and relative control ___ day prior to discharge was 99-215). HgbA1c 9.5 in ___. # AF/anticoagulation: Prior to admission was rate-controlled at home on metoprolol sucinate 200mg daily, she was rate controlled here with 150mg daily. CHADS2 score is 4, has never had CVA. On warfarin, which was initially supratherapeutic on admission (likely decreased PO intake). When she was on tube feeding, she was subtherapeutic and on lovenox. She was therapeutic for 2 days prior to discharge. Warfarin dosing will need to be closely followed while her PO intake is fluctuating. # Nutrition/Concern about swallow: Mainly effected by mental status, requiring dobhoff for medication and tubefeeds for approximately 4 days. She was evaluated by nutrition when she was at her baseline mental status prior to discharge and was recommended for Aspiration precautions, nectar thick and puree, small bites, and 1:1 observation for meals. # Family meeting, Goals of ___: Had a family meeting with her ___, granddaughter, and ___. Reviewed her condition and likely progressive course of her dementia. Discussed that at times during this stay she required physical restraints to prevent her from removing her dobhoff tube multiple times. At this time, they had no changes to what they believe she would want, but will continue to discuss what interventions are within her goals of ___ with her PCP.

___ female with GERD presented with diarrhea and abdominal cramping, and was found to have C.diff colitis. ACTIVE ISSUES # C.diff colitis: Pt's C.diff developed in the setting of chronic PPI use, recent ABx (Clindamycin & bactrim) in past three weeks. She underwent CT abd/pelvis since admission, and was found to have diffuse wall thickening surrounding distal transverse colon and proximal descending colon. Her C.diff toxin screening was positive. Pt was treated with metronidazole initially iv, later switched to po, given her lack of comorbidities and first presentation. Her diarrhea started to abate on HD #3. Pt tolerated po diet well prior to discharge from the hospital. Plan is to complete 14 days of metronidazole from discontinuation of ciprofloxacin. # Rash: pt developed tiny bustules along hair follicles along the waistband of her underwear area and anterior abdomen on HD#3. The rash was stable in the next ___ hours while she was in the hospital. We felt the rash was most likely secondary to folliculitis and not consistent with drug rash so did not change antibiotic regimen. CHRONIC ISSUES # GERD: We continued her home omeprazole at 40 mg qd. However, PPI use is associated with increased risk of C.diff colitis, and would recommend re-evaluate for the indication for current regimen. # OSA: We continued her home CPAP. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES # CODE STATUS: Full (confirmed) # PENDING STUDIES ON DISCHARGE: - Stool O&P on ___ - blood culture on ___ # MEDICATION CHANGES - Flagyl 500 mg q8 hour for 2 weeks # FOLLOW UP PLAN - Appt with PCP ___ ___ - Pt may need switch of antibiotics if rash worsens

The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable with the cardiac silhouette mild to moderately enlarged. There is persistent blunting of the bilateral posterior costophrenic angles suggesting small pleural effusions. In addition, there is retrocardiac left base opacity raising concern for pneumonia or aspiration. Fracture of the lateral right ninth rib is re-demonstrated. No definite additional rib fracture is seen, but bones are osteopenic and chest radiography has low sensitivity for the detection of such. IMPRESSION: Left base retrocardiac opacity raises concern for pneumonia or aspiration. Bilateral pleural effusions. Re-demonstrated fracture of the anterolateral right seventh rib. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: History: ___ with s/p fall unwitnessed and on plavix// ?bleed TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as bone algorithm reconstructions were provided and reviewed. DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 1,304 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT head dated ___. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute territorial infarction,hemorrhage,edema, or mass. Subcortical, deep, and periventricular white matter hypodensities are nonspecific, but likely represent the sequela of chronic microvascular ischemic disease. There is prominence of the ventricles and sulci suggestive of involutional changes. Dense atherosclerotic calcifications are noted within the cavernous carotid arteries. There is no evidence of fracture. Mucous retention cyst within the right maxillary sinus. Mild mucosal thickening within the left maxillary sinus and bilateral ethmoid air cells. Soft tissue within the bilateral ear canals likely represents cerumen. The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. Patient is status post bilateral lens resections. Otherwise, the visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of fracture or intracranial hemorrhage. 2. Mild paranasal sinus disease. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: History: ___ with s/p fall// ?fracture TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast helical multidetector CT was performed. Soft tissue and bone algorithm images were generated. Coronal and sagittal reformations were then constructed. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 506 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT C-spine dated ___. FINDINGS: Posterior offset of C1 on C2 on the right is unchanged compared to ___, likely degenerative in nature (series 602, image 24). Mild anterolisthesis of C3 on C4 is also unchanged and likely degenerative. Otherwise, alignment is normal. No fractures are identified.There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. There is no evidence of infection or neoplasm. Multilevel degenerative disc disease throughout the the cervical spine, most severe at C5-6 and C6-7. Posterior intervertebral osteophytes cause mild-to-moderate narrowing of the spinal canal, most severe at C5-6 (series 2, image 43).

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Penicillins / Morphine / opiates Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: fever Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: ___ with a complicated past medical history of longstanding type 2 diabetes on insulin, hypertension, and laryngeal stenosis with vocal cord paralysis with hx of sudden apneas requiring ongoing tracheostomy now presents with fevers, generalized weakness, and malaise. He has a 10-month history of having intermittent episodes of symptoms including the above along with HA, stiff neck, shivering cold, and nausea. At the onset of these symptoms, he generally also has a putrid smell and taste in his mouth. Due to this and prior purulence from his trach, he has been intermittently treated with courses of levofloxacin for presumed tracheitis which always resolve his symptoms and makes him feel completely well, though the symptoms always recur. Initially they would recur after a few months, but the period of time inbetween episodes has progressively shortened. He finished his most recent levofloxacin course a few weeks ago and started to feel ill again after a few days. Over the past ___ days, he has had significant low-grade fevers 99.8-101 associated with similar symptoms including generalized weakness, malaise, HA, stiff neck, nausea, and also left eye discomfort with lacrimation. He also has had subjective confusion recently as well. He saw his ENT doctor today who preformed a tracheoscopy which did not reveal evidence of tracheitis. He was therefore sent to the ED for further evaluation. On further review of systems, he reports mild burning at the end of urination, chronic loose stools without any recent change (non-bloody, non-melenic), and + left eye pressure with subjective blurriness. Outside of this, he denies any unintentional weight loss, cough, sputum production, SOB, chest discomfort, sore throat, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, change in loose stools, hematuria, penile discharge, flank pain, recent arthralgias or arthritis, skin rash, oral/genital ulcerations, or any other complaints. Of note, he has been worked up extensively by GI for intermittent diarrhea which has included negative stool studies, bacterial overgrowth breath testing, colonoscopy, and upper endoscopy with biopsies (negative for celiac and Whipple's). It was recommended that he increase his Creon and try immodium for relief. His symptoms were attributed to possible diabetic enteropathic diarrhea given the negative work-up. Finally, he says in the past even prior to these recent 10 months he has had intermittent similar symptoms to a less severe degree. The possibility of Reactive Arthritis was apparently raised, though he has not had any treatment for this. In the ED initial vitals were: 98.0 70 133/88 16 99% RA - Labs were significant for normal CBC, normal chem 7 save for creatinine of 1.6 (recent baseline 1.5), negative u/a, and lactate of 2.6. - Patient was given 1L NS.

Mr. ___ is a ___ with history of blindness and prostate cancer presenting with shortness of breath and positive flu PCR. # Acute Influenza, COPD: The patient presented with dyspnea and cough, and was found to have a positive influenza PCR. A CXR showed no focal consolidation, but was hyperinflated. Given the patient's 50 pack year smoking history and productive cough with wheeze on exam, there was concern that the patient had additionally triggered a COPD exacerbation, though he had no known diagnosis of COPD. He was treated with oseltamivir for a 5 day course for influenza. In addition, he was treated with a prednisone burst and nebulizers. He was weaned to room air. However, as he continued to desat and become acutely short of breath with exertion, he was discharged to acute rehab to further recover. He will likely benefit for further evaluation of COPD in the outpatient setting. # Failure to thrive/weight loss: A review of the patient's chart and a discussion with his sister showed that he has had significant weight loss. In ___ he weighed around 150lb, in ___ 132lb, and during this hospitalization 110lb (BMI 16.7). He has a history of prostate cancer, s/p radical resection, but was noted to have PSA of 1.3 in ___. A colonoscopy in ___ was normal. There is concern for lung malignancy given long smoking history. Could also be related to living situation, as patient lives alone and is reportedly not consistently able to eat full meals. While working with ___ he was found to be very deconditioned, and was discharged to rehab. Further workup was deferred to the outpatient setting.

He was initially taken to ___ by EMS after he developed abdominal pain several days ago. He had imaging done showing diverticulitis and was discharged on ___ on cipro/flagyl. He presented to the ED on ___ because of persistent abdominal pain. He reports that initially the pain seemed to get slightly better after discharge, but then it returned and became progressively worse. His pain is in the lower abdomen bilaterally and is band like without radiation. He denies any nausea or vomiting. He has eaten very little due to the pain, although food does not particularly worsen his symptoms. He has not had any diarrhea or fevers at home. Last BM was day of presentation. His last and only other episode of diverticulitis was ___ years ago. He does report that he has developed constipation over the past 5 months. His stools appear slightly thinner than previously. He has not noticed any blood. He also feels that he is not eating well due to lack of appetite which has persisted for ~2 months. He also notes that he lost around 10 pounds (213 to 203) in 3 weeks-1 month. He thinks this weight loss is unintentional. In the ED, initial vitals were: 98 102 113/90 18 98% RA.

BRIEF HOSPITAL COURSE: ===================== Ms. ___ is a ___ with history of pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis c/b L optic perineuritis, obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, who recently finished high dose prednisone taper, presenting with progressive with dyspnea as well as hyperglycemia. She was started on a Lasix drip with boluses of IV Lasix. However, patient with variable weight and continued lower extremity edema which made establishing her dry weight difficult. Though Ms. ___ felt her dyspnea had improved from presentation, she continued to require oxygen above her baseline needs. It was felt that further diuresis in the hospital would not significantly improve her breathing or decreased her oxygen needs at this time. She desired discharge. On day of discharge she desaturated to 67% when ambulating on stairs without oxygen and 71% briefly when ambulating up stairs with oxygen. Discussed with patient that she would need to wear oxygen at all time to maintain oxygen saturation above 85%. She agreed and understood the risks of not wearing oxygen and having significant desaturations. Her home torsemide was increased to 80mg torsemide daily. During her hospitalization our pulmonary team assessed her and thought that her dyspnea was due to increased volume status and will follow up with her as an outpatient. Additionally, the ___ diabetes team was extensively involved in assisting with medication management given patient's diabetes was not well controlled with A1c of 11.3% on admission and her difficulty affording medications. She was provided with 14-day free supply of NPH/humalog upon discharge and urged to call her insurance to change plans for the upcoming year. She was provided with 30-day free supply of lancets/test strips/syringes upon discharge. She was scheduled for follow-up with pulmonary, her primary care physician, and ___ prior to discharge.

Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with cholelithiasis, right upper quadrant and epigastric pain x several days. No prior examinations for comparison. RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT ULTRASOUND: The gallbladder is partially distended, with internal layering stones and sludge. There is severe circumferential wall edema up to 14 mm, with heterogeneous appearance and increased vascularity. In the region of the gallbladder fundus, there is questionable focal wall interruption (images ___ and 46). However, there are no surrounding large fluid collections. The liver is normal in echotexture. There is normal hepatopetal flow in the portal vein. IVC is also patent. There is no intrahepatic or common biliary ductal dilation, with the latter measuring 3 mm. The pancreas is obscured by overlying bowel gas. There is no pancreatic duct dilation. The right kidney measures 12.4 cm, without stones, masses, or hydronephrosis. IMPRESSION: Severe gallbladder wall thickening, with apparent anterior focal wall irregularity which could be artifactual, but discontinuity of the wall is not excluded. No large fluid collections or biliary dilation. CT may be helpful for further evaluation. Radiology Report CLINICAL INFORMATION: ___ female with right upper quadrant pain, for preoperative evaluation. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral chest radiographs demonstrate clear lungs without effusion or pneumothorax. Note is made of an azygos fissure. The heart size is normal, and the mediastinal contours are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Clear lungs without acute chest pathology. Radiology Report INDICATION: Acute cholecystitis for seven days and previous ultrasound showing gallbladder wall thickening. Please evaluate size of the gallbladder lumen to check if amenable to percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement. COMPARISON: ___. TECHNIQUE: Right upper quadrant ultrasound. FINDINGS: Previous ultrasound of ___ had showed findings consistent with acute cholecystitis, but the gallbladder lumen was largely collapsed without sufficient distention to permit attempt of cholecystostomy tube placement. Repeat examination was performed to reassess gallbladder lumen size. Hepatic echotexture appears within normal limits. Common hepatic duct measures 6 mm. Gallbladder is markedly abnormal, with extensive mural edema and a focal fluid collection interposed between the gallbladder and liver that measures approximately 2.2 x 1.4 cm, an appearance which is suggestive of a perforated cholecystitis with a small subhepatic/pericholecystic collection. The lumen is still not markedly distended; however, in comparison with the examination of ___, the degree of distention has increased slightly. It is felt that percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement could be attempted, though it is expected to be difficult. Imaged portion of pancreas appear within normal limits with portions of the pancreatic head and tail obscured by overlying bowel gas. IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with acute cholecystitis, probably with a focal perforation interposed between the gallbladder and liver. Mild luminal distention is noted, and percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement is scheduled to be attempted. Radiology Report ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PERCUTANEOUS CHOLECYSTOSTOMY DATED ___ INDICATION: ___ with acute cholecystitis for six days. Please place percutaneous cholecystostomy tube. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to previous ultrasound dated ___ and ___. PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___ and Dr. ___ performed the procedure. Dr. ___ attending radiologist, was present throughout the procedure. PROCEDURE: Following a detailed discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained. The patient was transferred to the ultrasound suite and placed in the supine position. An initial preprocedure ultrasound was performed for purposes of skin point localization prior to cholecystostomy tube placement. This again demonstrated a markedly abnormal gallbladder with massive wall thickening and edema and a small collection located between the gallbladder and liver edge consistent with prior perforation. Preprocedure timeout was performed as per ___ protocol using two unique patient identifiers. The skin overlying the right upper quadrant was prepped and draped in usual sterile fashion. Approximately 8 mL of 1% lidocaine was infiltrated into the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and into the liver capsule under ultrasound guidance. An 8 ___ pigtail catheter was inserted into the liver and gallbladder under ultrasound guidance. The procedure was technically difficult due to marked induration in the region of the severely inflamed gallbladder, and required two passes for placement of the 8 ___ pigtail catheter. Once satisfactorily position was confirmed within the gallbladder, the pigtail tube was advanced over the trocar and pigtail was formed within the gallbladder. 40 mL of yellow and red-tinged purulent fluid was aspirated. A sample was sent for a microbiological analysis as requested. The catheter was attached to a closed drainage system on free drainage. There were no immediate complications. The patient tolerated the procedure well. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of fentanyl 100 mcg and Versed 2 mg throughout the total intraservice time of 35 minutes, during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. The patient was transferred back to the floor in stable condition. POE orders were entered on the online system. IMPRESSION: Technically successful ultrasound-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement. Technically difficult study requiring two passes. 40 mL of purulent appearing fluid was drained. Sample sent for microbiological analysis. There were no immediate complications.

___ F with history of atrial fibrillation on warfarin, hypertension, and chronic idiopathic uvular edema/angioedema discharged ___ after treatment of angioedema and readmitted the same day for witnessed pre-syncopal/syncopal episode at assisted living. # Syncope/Pre-syncope: Per report, pt was lightheaded and was helped to a seated position by aids, unclear if there was true loss of consciousness. Of note, patient was "hyper and giddy" prior to the episode per report of home aid, raising suspicion for medication side effect given recent addition of 2 antihistamines and high dose predisone for angioedema. Differential also included vasovagal, neurologic and cardiac etiologies. Lack of focal neuro deficits and normal neuro exam made CVA/TIA unlikely, seizure also unlikely given lack of post-ictal period. ACS unlikely given lack of acute change on EKG and negative cardiac enzymes x 2. Valvular dysfunction considered given R>L pleural effusions on CXR. TTE ___ showed Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation, no aortic stenosis or other valvular dysfunction. Bradycardia on telemetry as described below. Pt denied dizziness, lightheadedness this admission and had no further syncopal episodes. # Bradycardia: Per ED report, pt initially had bradycardia to ___, asymptomatic. Currently, pt having frequent episodes of asymptomatic bradycardia in ___ with ___ second pauses. Beta blocker held. Suspect that current antihistamine regimen for recent angioedema contributing. Spoke with pt's allergist Dr. ___ believes that steroids are a more important component of her angioedema treatment than the antihistamines at this point and noted that pt was on fairly low doses of both famotidine and fexofenadine. Cardiology evaluated patient and recommended decreased dose of metoprolol, no indication for pacemaker. # ___: Resolved. Creatinine 1.2 from 1.0 at discharge. Likely pre-renal etiology given response to fluids. # Leukocytosis: WBC 12.2 ___. Pt was afebrile with no localizing infectious symptoms. UA negative, chest x-ray showed improvement in pleural effusions and no focal infiltrate. Recheck was 11.2 on day of discharge. # Chronic angioedema: Pt recently admitted for angioedema which required brief intubation for airway protection. Was discharged on day of presentation with no symptoms of angioedema with plan to continue prednisone taper and follow up with her allergist. Prednisone taper was continued and patient discharged on 5mg daily with plan to continue at that dose until seen for scheduled follow up in allergy clinic. Due to concern that antihistamines may have been contributing to her dizziness/syncope prior to admission as well as her bradycardia on telemetry, famotidine was held and fexofenadine continued. Pt denied any symptoms of angioedema this admission. # Hypertension: Home beta blocker was discontinued due to bradycardia as described above. Subsequently, SBP elevated 160s-170s, patient asymptomatic. Home HCTZ continued and low dose amlodipine added with better control of blood pressure. # Atrial fibrillation: Pt was kept on home warfarin dose 1 mg daily # Hyperlipidemia: continued simvastatin # Osteoporosis: continued calcium and vitamin D

She was still having some moderate LUQ pain and nausea, that seem to worsen with attempts at eating. She was going to try solid food for dinner, but said she was nauseated. I discussed with her that I wanted to make sure she could keep down adequate liquids and solid food such as dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow and if so, that she could likely go home tomorrow. She was initially in agreement, but then said she really wanted to go home. She said that she had kept down soda and fluids and said she thought that she would feel better and do better at home. I explained that I would prefer that she make sure that she could eat solid food before going home. She expressed understanding the risks of going home and said that if her pain or nausea significantly worsened, she could return to the ED. She also felt like she could manage her symptoms with the same PRN medications at home as she is getting here. I discussed with her that she needs her INR rechecked to determine when to restart warfarin and to see her PCP within the next 1 week. She agreed and said she would make sure to do these things.

This is a ___ year old female with past medical history of CAD, systolic CHF, OSA on CPAP, paroxysmal atrial flutter with prior stroke, SLE complicated by lupus nephritis, on HD, prior chronic hypotension requiring outpatient midodrine, titrated off of this medication within the last ___ year, with a recent fall with resulting R shoulder dislocation and L shoulder fracture, subsequently admitted ___ with worsening dizziness and hypotension, with extended hospital course notable for negative infectious workup, persistent hypotension requiring midodrine, subsequent clinical improvement # Hypotension # Adrenal insufficiency Patient admitted to ICU after presenting with hypotension. Patient IV fluid resuscitated and initiated on intravenous vasopressors. Workup yielded no signs of clear infectious etiology. Outside of fractures, dislocations (mentioned below), exam and review of systems was without localizing findings. TTE showed partially recovered EF to 50% without any changes. Given concern for adrenal insufficiency, she received several days of stress dose steroids with Hydrocort 50mg Q6H. Given patient's history of borderline-low blood pressures requiring previous midodrine (which had been discontinued over recent ___ year), she was restarted on midodrine. Subsequent and cosyntropin test was felt to demonstrate adequate adrenal reserve at that time. Based on endocrine service evaluation and clinical picture, perhaps hypotension related to brief adrenal insufficiency (the result of ___ years of sub-physiological prednisone dosing suppressing ACTH) in setting of stress of her fall, fractures and dislocation, which resolved with her stress dose steroids and resolving stress of her acute illness. Patient was returned to her chronic prednisone dose, and midodrine was weaned from 15mg TID to 5mg TID by time of discharge. Anticipate this may be able to be weaned further and discontinued over next ___ months (this is of importance given that it impacts her transplant listing). Had multidisciplinary discussion between endocrine, nephrology, and cardiology who felt risk/benefit would not favor trial of fludrocortisone. # s/p Fall with R shoulder dislocation, L shoulder fracture 2 weeks prior to admission, she fell while at a relative's home and was found to have a L shoulder fracture and R shoulder dislocation. On admission here, orthopedics was consulted, recommended repeat imaging which confirmed a comminuted left proximal humerus with fracture displacement at the surgical neck and greater tuberosity compatible with a Neer three part fracture. She had a high-grade tear of the R supraspinatus tendon tendon with retraction and calcification within the free edge of the tendon likely representing avulsion injury and concern for subacute fracture of the humeral head. Of note, the CTs were labeled incorrectly, radiologist who read the studies was contacted regarding this. She was treated with standing Tylenol, Gabapentin, prn oxycodone (kept on low doses because her blood pressure was sensitive to this). Orthopedic recommendations: - NWB LUE in sling, OK for pendulums, OK for passive range of motion to the level of the shoulder with ___ - WBAT RUE, sling for comfort, range of motion as tolerated Discharged with follow-up with Dr. ___ ___. # ESRD on HD Continued on tacrolimus, Calcitriol. Continued HD MWF. Given hypotension (above), goal weight was increased to 86kg. Discharge weight = 86.5kg. # A flutter # Supratherapeutic INR Had variable INR this admission requiring adjustment of Coumadin dosing. At discharge patient was on warfarin 3mg daily, INR 2.2. Would recheck INR on ___ at rehab, adjust dosing for goal INR ___. # OSA Continued CPAP QHS # Depression Continued Mirtazapine # Chronic systolic CHF # CAD Continued statin, ASA. Given hypotension, held metoprolol and losartan. Volume management with HD. Goal standing weight = 86kg # Gout Continued Allopurinol # Restless leg syndrome Continued rOPINIRole # Constipation While on oxycodone, was started on bowel regimen with miralax and senna # History of skin cancer Held acitretin during admission, restarted at discharge

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ y/o M p/w 6 days abd pain, +F/C, microscopic hematuria, CT w/diverticulitis +abscess abutting bladder // eval and drainage of abscess COMPARISON: Outside CT ___. PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of a diverticular phlegmon/fluid collection. OPERATORS: Dr. ___ fellow and Dr. ___ radiologist. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agree with the trainee's findings. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed per ___ protocol. The patient was placed in a supine position on the US scan table. Limited preprocedure ultrasound was performed to localize the collection. Based on the ultrasound findings an appropriate skin entry site for the drain placement was chosen. The site was marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution. Using continuous sonographic guidance, an 8 ___ Exodus catheter was attempted to be placed within the collection, however it could not be deployed within the small fluid collection. Therefore, an 18G ___ needle was inserted into the collection. 0.038 ___ wire was placed through the needle and needle was removed. This was followed by placement of a dilator folowed by ___ Exodus catheter into the collection. The plastic stiffener and the wire were removed, however no fluid, nor air, could be aspirated from the catheter. The Pigtail was deployed, however the position of the pigtail could not be confirmed via ultrasound due to the presence of adjacent inflammatory echogenic fat. Given this finding, the patient subsequently had a a noncontrast CT scan of the pelvis to better localize the position of the catheter. The catheter was secured by a StatLock. The catheter was attached to bag. Sterile dressing was applied. The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of 2 mg Versed and 125 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 27 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. FINDINGS: Small amount of fluid is seen within the pelvis, to the left and above the bladder, correlating to the site of the small fluid collection seen on recently performed CT scan. Extensive adjacent inflammatory fat. Following the procedure, the location of the pigtail could not be determined under ultrasound, and the patient's subsequently had a CT scan of the pelvis which demonstrated little to no fluid at the site of previously seen collection, and the pigtail catheter was positioned within the pelvis, adjacent to where the collection was previously seen. Given these findings, the pigtail catheter was subsequently removed. IMPRESSION: Attempted US-guided placement of ___ pigtail catheter into the pelvic collection. No fluid was aspirated at the time of drain placement, and subsequent CT scan of the pelvis demonstrated resolution of the previously seen small collection and therefore the pigtail catheter was removed. The patient remained stable throughout the procedure and subsequent CT scan of the pelvis. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 4:45 ___, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT pelvis without contrast INDICATION: Diverticular abscess. Evaluate position of pigtail catheter. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the pelvis were acquired without intravenous contrast. Non-contrast scan has several limitations in detecting vascular and parenchymal organ abnormalities, including tumor detection. Oral contrast was not administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Found no primary dose record and no dose record stored with the sibling of a split exam. !If this Fluency report was activated before the completion of the dose transmission, please reinsert the token called CT DLP Dose to load new data. COMPARISON: Outside hospital CT torso ___. Ultrasound-guided drainage ___. FINDINGS: Again noted is prominent thickening of the distal sigmoid colon in an area of prominent diverticula with surrounding fat stranding compatible with acute diverticulosis. A pigtail catheter is noted within the vicinity of a previously noted diverticular abscess, the confines of which are difficult to evaluate given lack of intravenous contrast, however the abscess appears to be nearly completely resolve compared to the prior outside CT examination. It is difficult to discern whether catheter extends into the bowel lumen. Retained barium contrast is noted within the visualized portion of the large bowel. The imaged portion of the abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. There is no mesenteric, retroperitoneal, or inguinal lymphadenopathy. A few mildly prominent left pelvic sidewall lymph nodes are noted, likely reactive. There is no free pelvic fluid or air. Bladder, prostate and lower rectum are grossly unremarkable. There is no suspicious focal bone lesion. IMPRESSION: Left lower quadrant percutaneous pigtail catheter within a diverticular abscess, which appears nearly completely resolved compared to the preprocedure CT examination. The catheter is very close to the sigmoid colon and it is uncertain whether it extends into he lumen. This can be further evaluated with contrast injection with fluoroscopy. Gender: M Race: WHITE Arrive by WALK IN Chief complaint: Abd pain, Transfer Diagnosed with Unspecified abdominal pain temperature: 98.5 heartrate: 74.0 resprate: 16.0 o2sat: 98.0 sbp: 124.0 dbp: 80.0 level of pain: 4 level of acuity: 2.0
Ms. ___ was admitted to ___ on ___ following presentation in the ED with abdominal pain which on CT done in the ED appeared to be due to active diverticulitis with a very small pericolonic fluid collection. He was started on IV Cipro and IV flagyl and bowel rest with fluid resuscitation. An attempt was made by the interventional radiology team to percutaneously drain the abscess however this was aborted. It was ultimately felt that the fluid collection was likely too small and resolving sufficiently such that it does not require additional drainage. Mr. ___ diet was gradually advanced over the following 24 hours to regular, which he tolerated. His abdominal pain continued to improve and was nearly completed resolved at the time of discharge. Mr. ___ at the time of discharge was ambulating, eating, tolerating oral medications, and toileting himself. He was discharged on 2 weeks of oral cipro and flagyl with scheduled follow up.

COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: An enlarged uterus is identified in this recently postpartum patient with the fundus extending to the level of the umbilicus. There is gas and hemorrhagic fluid is seen within the endometrial canal, extending to the endocervical canal in the upper vagina. Thinning of the anterior lower uterine segment is noted with associated susceptibility artifact, edema and enhancement transversely along the lower abdominal wall, consistent with recent cesarean section. There is a masslike lesion composed innumerable serpentine vessels centered within the left lower uterine wall extending into the endometrial cavity. This has approximate total ___ of 5 x 5.5 x 6.5 cm. On pre contrast imaging, there are both areas of T2 hyperintensity, particularly in extending into the endometrial cavity, as well as areas of T2 hypointense flow voids. This area is relatively homogeneously intermediate in signal on T1 weighted sequences and low in signal on diffusion-weighted sequences. After administration of contrast, there is brisk enhancement of innumerable serpiginous vessels thought to represent a combination of arteries and veins given the early, asymmetric contrast opacification of the left internal iliac vein (1251S: 32). Contrast opacification of an asymmetrically enlarged left gonadal vein is also earlier than expected, likely on the basis of early drainage from this the vascular nidus (12:54). While the majority of the vessels are confined to this masslike nidus, there is communication with a myometrial of vessels extending circumferentially around the uterus to the contralateral side (1250:9). There is a trace amount of free pelvic fluid. The ovaries are normal in appearance. Osseous structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 6.5 cm uterine mass composed of innumerable early vessels with early arterial enhancement and early venous drainage, indicative of an arteriovenous malformation. This is centered within the left lower uterine myometrium, with intramural vascular communication circumferentially, and a large component extending into the endometrial cavity. Arterial supply appears to be predominantly via the left ovarian artery, and venous drainage via the left internal iliac vein and possibly the left gonadal vein.

Right groin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Using palpatory and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral artery was punctured using a 21 gauge micropuncture needle at the level of the mid femoral head. A Nitinol wire was advanced into the aorta. A small skin incision was made over the needle and the needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The inner stiffener and wire were removed and ___ wire was advanced into the aorta. The micropuncture sheath was then exchanged for a 5 ___ sheath which was attached to a continuous heparinized saline side arm flush. An Omni flush catheter was advanced over the wire and the ___ wire was exchanged for a Glidewire. The Glidewire was used to select the left external iliac artery and the Omniflush catheter was exchanged for a pudendal catheter. The pudendal catheter was used to cannulate the left internal iliac artery. A left internal iliac arteriogram was performed. Rotational cone-beam CT angiography was performed to help delineate the anatomy. Multiplanar CT images were reconstructed and 3D volume-rendered images of the arterial anatomy required post-processing on an independent workstation under direct physician ___ (attendings Dr. ___ Dr. ___. These images were used in the interpretation, decision making for intervention and reporting of this procedure. A left uterine arteriogram was performed. Using the arteriogram as a road map a pre-loaded high-flow Renegade catheter and Transcend wire were advanced distally into the uterine artery. Initially, some spasm was noted and 200 mcg of nitroglycerin was administered. Following resolution of spasm, the pudendal catheter was advanced slightly to decrease arterial inflow. Embolization of the arteriovenous fistula was performed with cyanoacrylate/lipiodol mixture to stasis. The microcatheter was retracted and a more proximal injection in the left uterine artery demonstrated recruitment of several additional branches supplying the arteriovenous fistula. Embolization to stasis was then performed at the more proximal left uterine artery. Repeat left internal iliac arteriogram demonstrates cessation of flow into the left uterine artery and no flow towards the arteriovenous fistula. The microcatheter was then removed and the pudendal catheter was used to engage the right uterine artery. A right uterine arteriogram was performed. The Glidewire was then used to unform the pudendal catheter and the pudendal catheter was exchanged for the Omni Flush catheter. An aortogram was performed just below the level of the renal arteries to evaluate the ovarian arteries. The Omni Flush catheter was then exchanged for ___ catheter. The ___ catheter was used to selectively cannulate the ostium of the left ovarian artery. The Renegade Hi Flow microcatheter and microwire were used to advance slightly more distal into the left ovarian artery. A selective left ovarian arteriogram was performed. The catheters and wires were then removed and the sheath was removed. Manual pressure was held until hemostasis was achieved. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate post-procedure complications. FINDINGS: 1. Left uterine artery supplying a large arteriovenous fistula with drainage into the internal iliac and left gonadal veins. 2. Embolization of the arteriovenous fistula utilizing cyanoacrylate glue/lipiodol mixture with embolization performed to stasis. The pudendal catheter was advanced into the left uterine artery during embolization to decrease arterial inflow and prevent non-target embolization through the fistula. 3. Repeat contrast injection from the proximal left uterine artery following embolization demonstrated recruitment of at least two additional branches supplying the arteriovenous fistula from the more proximal left uterine artery. 4. Embolization of the left uterine artery to stasis back towards its more proximal segment. 5. Repeat left internal iliac arteriogram demonstrates cessation of flow into left uterine artery and arteriovenous fistula. Flow is preserved in the remaining branches of the internal iliac artery. 6. Right uterine arteriogram demonstrates hypervascularity related to postpartum state. No supply to arteriovenous fistula was noted. 7. Aortogram demonstrates hypertrophy of bilateral ovarian arteries, as expected given immediate postpartum state. 8. Selective left ovarian arteriogram demonstrates no supply to the arteriovenous fistula. IMPRESSION: Successful cyanoacrylate/lipiodol embolization of the left uterine artery and arteriovenous fistula to stasis.

TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___, Interventional Radiology Fellow and Dr. ___, attending radiologist performed the procedure. Dr. ___ personally supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and has reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. ANESTHESIA: 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. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 1.8 min, 3 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 right upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein was partially 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. ___ 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: Partially thrombosed right internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing tunneled hemodialysis catheter with tip terminating in the right atrium. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of a 23cm tip-to-cuff length tunneled dialysis line. The tip of the catheter terminates in the right atrium. The catheter is ready for use.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: History: ___ with lower extremity paralysis bilaterally // ?mass TECHNIQUE: Routine unenhanced head CT was performed and viewed in brain, intermediate and bone windows. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also performed. DOSE: DLP: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 18.0 s, 19.1 cm; CTDIvol = 47.3 mGy (Head) DLP = 903.1 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 903 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is no intra-axial or extra-axial hemorrhage, edema, shift of normally midline structures, or evidence of acute major vascular territorial infarction. Prominence of ventricles and sulci are compatible with age related involutional changes. Ill-defined periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are nonspecific but likely due to sequela of small-vessel ischemic disease. Sclerosis of the right sphenoid sinus suggest prior chronic inflammation. Mild mucosal thickening is seen involving the sphenoid and posterior ethmoid air cells. The imaged paranasal sinuses are otherwise clear. Mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are well aerated. The bony calvarium is intact. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT T-SPINE W/ CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with pacemaker unable to get MRI with acute ___ weakness // ?cord compression TECHNIQUE: Contrast-enhanced helical multidetector CT was performed. 100 cc of Omnipaque 350 intravenous contrast was administered. Soft tissue and bone algorithm images were generated. Coronal and sagittal reformations were then constructed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 13.9 s, 54.3 cm; CTDIvol = 32.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 1,785.3 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 1,785 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: THORACIC SPINE: Alignment is normal. No fractures are identified. Mild to moderate multilevel degenerative changes are noted with bridging anterior osteophytes. There is mild narrowing of the left posterior aspect of the spinal canal at the T2-T3 vertebral level due to left uncovertebral hypertrophy as well as ligamentum flavum thickening and calcification. There is no evidence of high-grade central canal or neural foraminal stenosis. There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. There is no evidence of infection or neoplasm. No abnormal enhancement is seen. LUMBAR SPINE: Alignment is normal. No fractures are identified. Mild multilevel degenerative changes are seen with mild anterior osteophytes. Small disc bulges are noted at L4-5 and L5-S1 with slight flattening of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac. Mild neural foraminal narrowing is noted bilaterally at L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1 with facet arthropathy. There is no evidence of high-grade spinal canal stenosis. There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. There is no evidence of infection or neoplasm. No abnormal enhancement is seen. Limited views of the chest are remarkable for mild atelectasis. Pacemaker wires are partially visualized. Limited views of the abdomen are remarkable for bilateral renal simple cysts, with the largest measuring up to 3.8 cm in the interpolar region of the left kidney. Atherosclerotic calcifications are seen throughout the thoracic and abdominal aorta.

___ with history of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, complete heart block s/p PPM, presenting with acute lower extremity weakness found to be hypokalemic # Lower extremity weakness: Endorses weakness for several months but acutely worse on day of admission. Differential is broad, but most likely cause is hypokalemia, given his K 2.6 on admission. Other causes include PVD, neuropathy, other electrolyte abnormalities, deconditioning. Neuro imaging in ED was unremarkable, and neuro saw the patient and suggested that his symptoms are unlikely to be from an acute neurologic process. We repleted his K and his condition greatly improved. We started KCl 20 mEq PO daily for him to continue as an outpatient. # Hypokalemia: K of 2.6 on admission. EKG was unchanged from ___, and patient does not endorse chest pain or palpitations. Likely cause is GI losses from his prolonged diarrhea (reported history of 6 months of diarrhea). We started potassium supplementation with KCl tablets 20 mEq daily. He may also have hyperaldosteronism as is renin level was low, aldosterone level was pending at the time of discharge. He will follow-up in ___ clinic on ___. -- At the time this discharge summary was signed, the aldosterone level had resulted, and was also low. I have reached out to Dr. ___ endocrinologist who will be seeing him in follow-up to see if there is any further testing I can help facilitate prior to his appointment. This could be explained by congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ___ syndrome, etc. # Diarrhea: Endorses 6 months of diarrhea. Unknown cause. Stool culture and o&p were negative. He may also have lactose intolerance, as only certain foods exacerbate his diarrhea. We started him on Maalox and zantac prn for abdominal discomfort and indigestion. He may need an EGD as an outpatient to evaluate his anatomy, as he may have a component of malabsorption from past ___ fundoplication. # Hypertensive urgency: Continued home Amlodipine 10mg qD, Losartan 100mg qD. Started hydralazine 50 mg PO QID for hypertension. Started carvedilol 25 mg PO BID in place of metoprolol. Renin level is low. Aldosterone level, pending at discharge, is also low, which may be consistent with a mineralocorticoid excess syndrome. As above, he will follow-up with endocrine as an outpatient. # Metabolic encephalopathy / Delirium: Had significant hospital acquired delirium. His mental status improved with reorientation and family at bedside, and he was back to his baseline prior to discharge. # A-Fib: V-paced. Not on anticoagulation, and PCP reasoned that his risks may outweigh benefits, and he may not reliably take warfarin. Dc'ed his home metoprolol and started carvedilol 25 mg PO BID for better BP control.

Mr. ___ is a ___ yo man with PMH of HCV cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma s/p DDLT ___ who presented to the emergency room with 3 weeks of progressive dyspnea on exertion and cough. Infectious work-up, V/Q scan, chest CT, and TTE with bubble study were all unremarkable. We suspected dyspnea was due to deconditioning from recent liver transplant, as well as potentially with a component of post-viral subacute cough. # Subacute Dyspnea, Cough Patient underwent liver transplant approximately one month prior to this admission. One week post-transplant, he developed worsening dyspnea and cough. He presented to the ED in early ___ (prior to this admission), where TTE and CXR were negative. He was seen on clinic and started on Augmentin. He continued to be dyspneic with minimal activity, and presented again to the ED. Due to concern for PE, he was started on empiric heparin and admitted for further workup. A subsequent VQ scan was done (given Cr 2.4) but showed low probability of PE, so heparin was discontinued. He then underwent chest CT, but this was unremarkable. TTE with bubble study was normal. Infectious workup was negative, including respiratory viral panel (Ab negative, Cx still pending). Amb SpO2 were 98% on RA. Overall, his dyspnea was thought to be due to deconditioning from his recent liver transplant, with potentially a component of post-viral vs. post-nasal drip subacute cough. He was prescribed anti-tussive medications and intranasal fluticasone. If his cough persists, could consider Pulmonology follow up as an outpatient. # Chronic kidney disease The patient's postoperative course following transplant was complicated by ___ requiring CRRT. At that time he was discharged with a creatinine of 2.1 (from pre-operation baseline of about 1). On this admission, his creatinine was 2.4. He was given 1 liter of IV fluids with subsequent improvement. His Cr at discharge was 2.2-2.4 which is likely reflective of his new baseline. # HCV/___ s/p DDLT ___ # Deconditioning Patient was discharged home after complicated ___ hospital course. Per patient's wife, she felt that he should have gone to a rehab facility but did not qualify per ___. The patient's major concerns post-transplant were dyspnea and feeling deconditioned and unable to perform many activities at home. ___ was consulted this admission and recommended home with outpatient ___. Otherwise, a RUQUS on admission revealed elevated resistive indices post-transplant. A repeat ultrasound was performed a few days later and showed peak systolic flow 89cm/sec, with overall patent transplant hepatic vasculature. He was maintained on his immunosuppression regimen of MMF, prednisone and tacrolimus. His tacro level at discharge was 12.8, with an decreased Tacrolimus dose of 1.5mg BID. Prophylaxis of fluconazole, bactrim and valganciclovir were continued. He should continue to have close follow up with Transplant Hepatology. # Hypomagnesemia Patient had outpatient magnesium level of 1.1. He was given Magnesium Oxide 400 mg PO/NG BID and discharge Mg was 1.8.

Mr. ___ is an ___ year old man with CAD s/p CABG, cardiac stents, HLD, HTN, CVA, and history of A fib who presented with chest pressure/epigastric pain secondary to Afib/flutter with RVR. At first there was concern for ACS but his trops trended down quickly and he had recent normal pharm nuc stress test in ___ at ___. He had on-going chest pain with afib RVR/aflutter with better response to diltiazem than metoprolol. Because of this he was switched from metoprolol to diltiazem. The patient spontaneously converted to normal sinus rhythm in AM of ___ prior to TEE cardioversion, and patient was discharged on amiodarone. #HISTORY OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION WITH NEW ATRIAL FLUTTER, RVR: patient presented with rapid rates in ED. Initially controlled with IV metop and dilt, followed by increased dose of PO metop (home dose 50XL, given 75mg XL). Broke through with episodes of RVR, so switched to PO diltiazem with rates decreasing to ___. Of note, the patient is not on anticoagulation prior to admission because AFib improved after valve replacement and because of a GI bleed requiring ICU about ___ years ago (while on warfarin) and smaller amounts of blood in stool since. Patient's home clopidogrel for ___ PAD/stents was held on admission, and he was started on a heparin drip which was continued until apixiban started. Given the patient's persistent Afib/Aflutter, he was scheduled to undergo a TEE cardioversion in AM of ___. The patient spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm in AM of ___, and TEE cardioversion was canceled. Patient was started on amiodarone 200 mg 3 times daily for 1 week, then twice daily for 1 week, then once daily ongoing. Baseline CXR on ___ demonstrated dense retrocardiac opacity, likely reflecting atelectasis in the absence of infectious symptoms, and mild chronic lung disease. Baseline LFTs on ___: ALT 12, AST 16.

Chief Complaint: Weakness and falls Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is an ___ year old man with CAD s/p CABG (at age ___, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, vascular dementia, chronic orthostatic hypotension who presented to the ED on ___t home and increasing weakness. ___ patient was in the bathroom and had one unwitness fall against the wall. His wife was nearby and noted that he did not lose consiousness, but there was a question of head trauma. He was propped against the door so it was difficult for his wife to get him out of the bathroom and she had to call her son to help. Later the same day, he had another fall that appears to be mechanical in nature, which he sustained while he was trying to sit in a chair and missed the seat. There was no loss of consciousness or head trauma associated with that fall. Given his advanced dementia, he is unable to clarify if there were any prodromal symptoms leading up to either fall. The following day ___, he was at an ophthalmology appointment and was noted to be very weak in the lower extremities and was unable to stand, requiring a wheelchair. He was seen promptly by his PCP ___. ___ suggested he go to the ED for evaluation. In the ED, initial vitals were 98.6 79 119/77 18 96% on RA. Exam was notable for baseline alertness and orientation to self only. There was also concern for possible nasolabial fold flattening. Labs were unremarkable with the exception of a grossly positive urinalysis. Given this finding and his new weakenss, a neurology consult was obtained, and they felt his exam was unremarkable for focal findings to suggest stroke and instead suggested that a urinary tract infection may explain his new weakness. A non contrast head CT and chest x-ray were both unremarkable. He was started on ceftriaxone (day 1 = ___ and sent to the floor for further management. Overnight, patient felt well and had no specific complaints. He denied any pain, or weakness that he could appreciate, though his history is limited by his severe dementia. In discussion with Dr. ___ morning, he noted that the patient may have had increased urinary frequency recently that would fit with the diagnosis of UTI. On review of systems, he denies nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, back pain, headache, chest pain, or shortness of breath.

Aortic knob calcifications are present. The mediastinal and hilar contours are unchanged, and there is no pulmonary vascular congestion. Linear opacities in both lung bases likely reflect subsegmental atelectasis. Minimal blunting of the left costophrenic sulcus suggests a trace left pleural effusion. No pneumothorax is identified. IMPRESSION: Mild bibasilar atelectasis and probable trace left pleural effusion. Unchanged moderate size hiatal hernia. Radiology Report HISTORY: Multiple falls and change in mental status. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT sections were obtained through the brain without administration of IV contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone algorithm reformats were reviewed. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or large territorial infarction. Prominent ventricles and sulci are compatible with age-related volume loss. Periventricular white matter hypodensities are consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The basal cisterns appear patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. No fracture is identified.

SUMMARY ===================== ___ yr old male with a history of CAD with NSTEMI in ___, CKD, gastroparesis, chronic pancreatitis, NSCLC s/p XRT, diabetes, hypertension, and blindness who presented with weakness and confusion found to have inferior STEMI s/p DES x2 to RCA. His course was complicated by pneumonia, hyperkalemia, and ___ on CKD. #CORONARIES: ___ RCA 100% in proximal segment and 70% stenosis in the proximal and mid segments. #PUMP: Mild symmetric LV hypertrophy with small cavity and normal regional and global LV systolic function. EF 55-60%. Dilated RV cavity with SEVERE global free wall hypokinesis. Abnormal interventricular septal wall mition c/w RV pressure and volume overload. Mild MR, mod/severe TR. #RHYTHM: NSR ACTIVE ISSUES: =============== # Inferior STEMI s/p DES x2 to RCA Patient presented with weakness and confusion, without chest pain, and was found to have inferior STEMI. Taken to cath lab, now s/p DES x2 to RCA. He required a brief stay in the CCU for post-catheterization hypotension, which improved with IVF. TTE showed preserved EF but severely hypokinetic RV. He was started on ASA, ticagrelor, atorvastatin and metoprolol following his catheterization, but was switched from metoprolol to carvedilol prior to discharge and tolerated it well. He was started on Lisinopril 5 on day of discharge. # Community Acquired Pneumonia Patient presented with weakness and confusion and wife noted several weeks of coughing. He denied fevers and remained afebrile while inpatient, but had a WBC count of 26 with neutrophilic predominance and left shift and concern for R basilar opacity on CXR. He was treated with ceftriaxone and azithromycin, which he completed prior to discharge and his WBC trended down. # ___ with hyperkalemia Recent admissions for ___, with baseline Cre around 1.2-1.4. Admitted with Cre of 2.5. ___ thought to be pre-renal in the setting of CAP and poor PO intake for several days prior to admission. K 6.9 on arrival and patient was treated with calcium gluconate and insulin with a bolus of D50. He has a history of hyperkalemia, on daily patiromer and low-K diet, and the hyperkalemia was thought to be related to ___ in the setting of chronic hyperkalemia. His ___ patiromer was not continued while in the hospital due to its being nonformulary. His K normalized while in the hospital. # Delirium: patient with mild confusion on admission to the floor, but rapidly improved to baseline. Felt to be multifactorial in the setting of multiple factors placing him at risk for delirium including infectious process, recent MI and chronic opiates. His mental status returned to baseline prior to discharge, but he remains persistently weak which appears consistent with his baseline. # Epigastric Pain Patient complaining of epigastric abdominal pain. Per patient is similar to his baseline pain from his chronic pancreatitis and gastroparesis. Lipase not elevated to indicate acute pancreatitis. Patient with mild elevation in ALT/AST after going to the cath lab for STEMI, thought to be related to brief hypotension. Downtrended to normal prior to discharge. As patient with history of HCV, viral load was sent but result did not return prior to discharge.Pain is similar to baseline. He was continued on his ___ omeprazole and pain regimen while inpatient. His ___ Zofran was held due to azithromycin therapy and patient did not have need for it. CHRONIC ISSUES: ================ # Type II diabetes History of type 2 DM with last A1c- 8.3. Patient was discharged in ___ with plan for glargine 10u qhs, however his wife reports giving him between ___ units qhs based on his blood sugar.

Chief Complaint: shortness of breath Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___ THORACENTESIS History of Present Illness: ___ F with a history of atrial fib on ___ with recent fall resulting in ___ in ___ complicated by rib fractures and right sided pleural effusion that required drainage presents with recurrent effusion and SOB. In terms of her pleural effusion, her daughter reports that it was first discovered by the patients cardiologist after Ms. ___ was complaining of shortness of breath. A CXR was done for further evaluation which revealed a pleural effusion. The pleural effusion, however, is noted on prior CXRs from ___ (unavaible in our system, only per reports in radiology reports). She was going to be evaluated by IP but then she suffered a ___ and her pleural effusion was managed as an inpatient (see below). She was last hospitalizated from ___ where she had a ___ and also underwent drainage of the known pleural effusion. She had an uncomplicated removal of 2.5 liters of exudative effusion (Tprot pleural fluid/Tprot serum >0.5). CT chest after drainage showed trapped lung with residual pneumothorax but no effusion. She was going to follow-up with IP as an outpatient for further management of her pleural effusion. The pleural effusion was thought to be secondary to trauma from rib fractures related to her fall. She presents from ___ today for increasing SOB. Her SOB was intermittent after her time post-discharge. She noted that it was worse when it was going to rain. She went her PCP on ___ for a follow-up visit where a CXR showed reaccumulation of right effusion. She became increasingly SOB with exertion the day prior to admission and SOB worse with lying flat so she went for evaluation at ___. She also described wheezing and cough. She was then transferred to ___ for further management. In the ED, initial vitals were: 97.8 85 170/111 18 98% Labs in the ED notable for WBC 4.9, Hg 12.1, Plts 106.

The patient was hospitalized 2 months ago in ___ for 20 days for visual loss (he described that the L side of the world looked black, and the R looked blurry), nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. He was found to have posterior circulation strokes with bilateral occipital and cerebellar involvement per report of his son at the bedside. Etiology was felt to be due to a R vertebral artery plaque and he was started on ASA 81, simvastatin 20, metformin, and nifedipine. The son also notes that he was told there is extensive plaque in all of his vessels including one of his carotid arteries as well. One month ago the patient flew to ___ to visit his son and daughter in law who recently had a child in order to help out. However, since then he has been getting gradually progressively worse, although his course has been fluctuating throughout. He continues to feel vertiginous almost continuously, although the feeling will occasionally subside for several minutes. He cannot identify anything that triggers the dizziness such as positional changes, and notes that it can be exacerbated for ___ minutes at a time randomly, when he is lying quietly or when he is walking. He is nauseous and vomits multiple times per day. Since his stroke his vision has been slowly gradually impoving and he has regained some vision on the L side which he had lost, but notes that his entire field remains blurry. Denies double vision. No dysarthria or dysphasia. No aphasia noted by family members. He has not been walking well and is very off balance all of the time. He does endorse a ___ headache which is mild. The patient saw his PCP today who referred him to a vascular surgeon, however, the vascular surgeon called and said he could not handle these symptoms so the patient was sent to the ED. On neurologic review of systems, the patient denies difficulty with producing or comprehending speech. Denies diplopia, dysarthria, or dysphagia. Denies muscle weakness. Denies loss of sensation. Endorses generalized weakness On general review of systems, the patient denies fevers, rigors. Denies chest pain, endorses occasional SOB. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK INDICATION: History: ___ with posterior circulation strokes. Evaluate for thrombosis, arterial disease, perfusion defects. TECHNIQUE: Rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during infusion of intravenous contrast material. Images were processed on a separate workstation with display of curved reformats, 3D volume rendered images, and maximum intensity projection images. DOSE: DLP: 1504.3 mGy-cm; CTDI: 84.46 mGy COMPARISON: CT head ___. FINDINGS: There is scattered atherosclerotic vascular disease throughout the aortic arch including the origins of the great vessels, without flow-limiting stenosis. There is a common origin of the innominate artery and left common carotid artery. There is mixed plaque in the proximal right internal carotid artery with approximately 50% narrowing by NASCET criteria. There is minimal atherosclerotic plaque within the proximal left internal carotid artery without flow-limiting stenosis. The distal left cervical internal carotid artery measures 4.9 mm. There is a tiny focus of calcified plaque within the cervical portion of the right vertebral artery, at the C5 level. The cervical portions of the vertebral arteries are otherwise patent without flow-limiting stenosis. There is no evidence of dissection within the vasculature of the neck. The intracranial portion of the nondominant right vertebral artery at and distal to ___ is small in caliber and irregular, resuming normal caliber just proximal to the confluence with the left vertebral artery. This appearance likely represents combination of hypoplasia and atherosclerotic narrowing. There is high-grade narrowing of the intracranial portion of the dominant left vertebral artery proximal to the ___, spanning approximately 9 mm. Bilateral posterior cerebral arteries are unusually small in caliber, presumably on the basis of atherosclerotic vascular disease, given the patient's age. There is atherosclerotic vascular calcification of the bilateral carotid siphons without flow-limiting stenosis. There is no evidence of hemodynamically significant stenosis within the anterior circulation. There is no evidence of aneurysm within the intracranial vasculature. IMPRESSION: 1. Approximately 50% narrowing of the origin of the left internal carotid artery secondary to mixed plaque. Atherosclerosis of left internal carotid artery origin and of bilateral carotid siphons, without flow-limiting stenosis. 2.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old man with stroke // eval for pna COMPARISON: No comparison IMPRESSION: The lung volumes are low. Mild cardiomegaly with atelectasis at the right lung basis and in the retrocardiac lung regions. No larger pleural effusions. No pneumonia, no pulmonary edema. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with recent posterior circulation strokes 2 months ago, presenting with worsening dizziness // eval for acute or subacute strokes TECHNIQUE: MRI of the brain without IV contrast COMPARISON: CT head, CT angiogram head and neck ___ FINDINGS: There are multiple small foci of slightly slow diffusion in the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres, right more than left and in the occipital lobes, right more than left. Most of these can represent subacute infarcts based on the signal intensity on the DWI and FLAIR sequences and the history. However, a few small foci in the right cerebellar hemisphere, inferomedially demonstrate greater slow diffusion compared to the rest of the lesions and may represent small acute infarcts. Slightly increased FLAIR signal intensity is noted in these foci, along with mild gyriform T1 hyperintense signal, that can relate to laminar necrosis. There are multiple small FLAIR hyperintense foci in the cerebral white matter in the subcortical and periventricular locations, nonspecific in appearance and may relate to small vessel ischemic changes. There is mild dilation of the lateral and the third ventricles along with prominent extra-axial CSF spaces, cerebral sulci and cerebellar folia indicating some degree of diffuse parenchymal volume loss. A few tiny foci of negative susceptibility are noted scattered in the brain parenchyma may relate to mineralization or micro hemorrhages. The major intracranial arterial flow voids are noted. The vessels are better assessed on the recent CT angiogram study. Sella, pineal gland and the craniocervical junction regions are unremarkable. Minimal ethmoidal mucosal thickening on both sides. The mastoid air cells are clear. The included orbits are unremarkable. Bone marrow signal is unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Subacute infarcts in the bilateral occipital lobes and the cerebellar hemispheres. A few small foci in the right cerebellar hemisphere may represent acute infarcts. No surrounding edema or mass effect. Nonspecific cerebral white matter changes and some degree of diffuse parenchymal volume loss.

___ year old ___ speaking man with a history of HTN, HLD, lumbar stenosis, recent posterior circulation strokes with resultant nausea and vertigo and blurry vision, presenting with subacute worsening of symptoms over the past month. #Vision change/Vertigo/Nausea/Vomiting: His symptoms were felt to most likely be due to old bilateral occipital and cerebellar infarcts, which are secondary to atherosclerosis in left ICA and vertebral artery causing ischemic strokes. Patient underwent CT head on ___, which showed no new infarcts. CTA performed on ___ showed narrowing and stenosis of left ICA and left vetebral artery. Patient also underwent MRI head on ___, which showed no new infarct or stroke, but as previous shown documented several subacute infarcts in the PCA territory. These were felt to be most likely secondary to his significant intracranial atherosclerotic disease. The patient was started on plavix (with discontinuation of aspirin) and atorvastatin 80mg (from simvastatin 20mg). He was started on Meclizine 12.5mg q6hr PRN dizziness with reported symptomatic improvement. Echo this admission did not reveal a cardiogenic source of possible embolism. Patient continued to improve during his hospital course and was discharged home to with family after seeing physical therapy with outpatient follow-up. A peripheral (inner ear) source of his vertigo was considered, but not well consistent with exam or patient history. AHA/ASA Core Measures for Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack 1.

WRIST(3 + VIEWS) RIGHT Study Date of ___ 12:08 ___ IMPRESSION: No fracture identified. Mild degenerative changes of the first CMC and interphalangeal joints. US ABD LIMIT, SINGLE ORGAN Study Date of ___ 8:26 AM IMPRESSION: Spleen measures 10 cm which is in the normal range; however, it has increased in size compared to the ultrasound on ___ when it measured 8 cm. SKELETAL SURVEY (INCLUD LONG BONES) Study Date of ___ 1:47 ___ IMPRESSION: Nonspecific generalized demineralization & fracture of L1. These findings are nonspecific and no lytic lesions of classic multiple myeloma. MRI L-spine: IMPRESSION: 1. Compression fracture deformity of L1 vertebral body with nearly 50% height loss at the anterior aspect, without evidence of enhancement or significant edema, raising the possibility of subacute vertebral body compression fracture versus devascularization of the vertebral body or avascular necrosis of this vertebral body segment. No evidence of retropulsion into the spinal canal, cord or conus compression. The appearance is not typical for metastatic disease. 2. Diffuse low T1 signal throughout the lumbar spine, most consistent with diffuse bone marrow hyperplasia or bone marrow infiltration. 3. Moderate multilevel spondylosis, most severe at L4-L5, along with grade 1 anterolisthesis at this level, resulting in moderate spinal canal narrowing which appear grossly stable compared to prior study of ___. There is moderate to severe left and mild right neural foraminal narrowing at this level. PET CT SCAN: IMPRESSION: 1. FDG-avid compression fracture of L1. FDG-avidity may relate to pre-existing disease or may be due to the compression fracture itself. Acute fractures are FDG-avid while there is an inflammatory response to the fracture. 2. No there other sites of abnormal FDG avidity in the body. (Note the entire body from skull vertex to toes was surveyed.) U/S of right upper extremity: IMPRESSION: 1. Right brachial vein DVT. 2. Right basilic vein PICC without basilic, axillary, or subclavian vein thrombus. Standing L-spine X-ray: FINDINGS: There is a similar moderate-to-severe compression fracture of the L1 vertebral body, potentially with minimally increased in height loss since the prior study. There is clear evidence for substantial retropulsion. Associated with the fracture, however, a slight kyphotic angulation corresponding to the T12- L1 level without substantial subluxations. The L4-L5 and T11-T12 interspaces are moderately narrowed. Patchy vascular calcifications are preserved. IMPRESSION: Moderate-to-severe L1 compression deformity, similar to perhaps minimally increased. ___: IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in the bilateral lower extremities. ===================== Pathology: ===================== Tissue: BONE MARROW, BIOPSY, CORE Procedure Date of ___: pending PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS: SPECIMEN: BONE MARROW ASPIRATE AND CORE BIOPSY. DIAGNOSIS: HYPERCELLULAR BONE MARROW WITH EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT BY IMMUNOSECRETORY NEOPLASM, SEE NOTE. Note: By immunohistochemistry neoplastic cells are immunoreactive for CD20, MUM1, CD138, and are IgA kappa restricted (IgG, IgM and Lambda light chains are negative). In addition cells are immunoreactive for CD79a and PAX5 (BSAP) (dim) and negative for BCL1. CD3 and CD5 highlights scattered small lymphocytes. The proliferation fraction is high, in some places reaching more than 50%. The differential diagnosis is restricted to lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma versus round cell myeloma, the latter of which is often CD20 and BCL1 positive. The morphological features, lack of BCL1 expression, expression of PAX5 and absence of lytic lesions in the setting of extensive bone marrow infiltration, all seem to favor the diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Unfortunately, marrow aspirate was unyielding "dry tap" precluding examination of a ___ stained bone marrow smear or obtaining cytogenetic studies, which would have greatly facilitated the evaluation of this neoplasm. Of note, flow cytometry of peripheral blood demonstrated an apparently unrelated clonal population of CD5 positive lambda-restricted B lymphocytes. The presence of nucleated red blood cells and immature neutrophils in the peripheral blood is consistent with a myelophthisis process most likely due to the highly proliferative neoplasm in the marrow, as demonstrated by ___ staining and the presence of numerous mitoses. MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION. PERIPHERAL BLOOD SMEAR: The smear is adequate for evaluation. Erythrocytes are decreased, normochromic, and macrocytic and have marked anisopoikilocytosis including macroovalocytes elliptocytes and dacrocytes. The white blood cell count is slightly increased. Plasmacytoid lymphocytes and rare plasma cells are seen. Hypolobated and pseudo Pelger-Huet neutrophils are seen. Rare blasts are seen. Platelet count appears normal. Many large and giant platelets are seen. A 200 cell differential shows 36% neutrophils, 46% lymphocytes, 7% monocytes, 1% basophils, 6% myelocytes, 4% metamyelocytes, and 8 nucleated RBCs per 100 nucleated cells. ASPIRATE SMEAR: Not provided (dry tap). CLOT SECTION and BIOPSY SLIDES: The core biopsy material is adequate for evaluation. It consists of a 1.2 cm core biopsy of trabecular marrow and cortical bone with a cellularity of more than 95%. There is a wall-to-wall infiltrate of mononuclear cells comprising most of the cellularity. Majority of the neoplastic cells have atypical morphology with round nuclei and moderate amounts of cytoplasm. Nuclei are positioned centrally, not eccentricaly. Numerous mitoses are seen. Abundant ___ and ___ bodies are seen in some of the cells. Scant background maturing hematopoietic elements are seen. Rare megakaryocytes are seen. The clot section show similar findings. ADDITIONAL STUDIES: Flow cytometry: See separate report ___ Cytogenetics: not submitted (dry tap) By immunohistochemistry staining the neoplastic cells are positive for CD20, CD138, MUM1 and are IgA Kappa restricted (IgG, IgM, and Lambda are negative). Bcl-1 is negative. focally proliferation fraction by ___-67 staining is >50%. This correlates well with high mitotic rate by morphology. CD3 and CD5 highlight scattered T-cells. Lack of staining in other areas of the biopsy may be artifactual due to decalcification which is known to decrease reactivity to the K1-67 antibody. SPECIMEN(S) SUBMITTED: 1.

Radiology Report HISTORY: ? multiple myeloma, renal failure and hypercalcemia. This exam consists of 12 radiographs of the calvarium, thoracic and lumbar spine, pelvis, and proximal humeri and femurs. There is generalized demineralization with a biconcave L1 body and probable associated anterior fracture. No other fracture is identified. There is a mottled appearance to the calvarium and to less extent femurs and humeri with no discrete lytic lesion. The hips and SI joints are normal and symmetric. IMPRESSION: Nonspecific generalized demineralization & fracture of L1. These findings are nonspecific and no lytic lesions of classic multiple myeloma. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ woman with presumed multiple fluid signal intensity is very cm structures throughout the kidneys. Myeloma, with L1 compression fracture. Evaluate for spinal canal narrowing, cord impingement. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence MRI of the lumbar spine was performed before and after intravenous contrast administration. COMPARISON: CT lumbar spine without contrast ___. Skeletal survey ___. MRI lumbar spine ___. FINDINGS: Again seen is a compression deformity of L1 vertebral body, with approximately 50% height loss anteriorly, with a wedge compression appearance. These findings are stable compared to CT lumbar spine from ___. There is no evidence of significant retropulsion into the spinal canal. The compressed portion of the vertebral body, which is the anterior on half of L1, demonstrates T2 and STIR hypointensity with T1 isointensity. Post-contrast imaging demonstrates hypoenhancement of the compressed portion, as wells as minimal edema, raising the possibility of devascularization of the vertebral body or avascular necrosis of this segment. There is grade 1 (3 mm) anterolisthesis of L4 on L5. There is also grade 1 (2 mm) anterolisthesis of T12 on L1. The other vertebral body heights are preserved. There is diffuse low T1 signal throughout the lumbar spine, most consistent with diffuse bone marrow hyperplasia or bone marrow infiltration. There is a focus of T1 and T2 hyperintensity within the posterior aspect of the T11 vertebral body, not seen on fat saturated images, and most consistent with vertebral hemangioma. The a conus medullaris demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology and terminates at the level of L2. There is no evidence of cord or conus compression. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement within the spinal canal or other vertebral bodies. There is generalized ligamentum flavum thickening and facet arthropathy. T11-T12, T12-L1, and L1-L2: There is minimal diffuse disc bulge, without spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. L2-L3, L3-L4: There is mild diffuse disc bulge, facet arthropathy, ligamentum flavum thickening and fluid within the facet joints, resulting in mild subarticular zone narrowing with crowding of the traversing nerve roots but no significant nerve root compression. There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. L4-L5: There is grade 1 anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 with uncovering of the posterior superior aspect of the intervertebral disc, as well as severe facet arthropathy and moderate ligamentum flavum thickening, resulting in moderate spinal canal narrowing and subarticular zone narrowing. Subarticular zone narrowing resulting in crowding of the bilateral traversing L5 nerve roots. There is moderate to severe left and mild right neural foraminal narrowing. Findings appear grossly stable compared to ___. L5-S1: There is mild diffuse disc bulge, facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum thickening, without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. Note is made of a prominent gallbladder, measuring approximately 5.4 x 4.4 cm. There are multiple pericentimeter fluid signal intensity structures within both kidneys. IMPRESSION: 1. Compression fracture deformity of L1 vertebral body with nearly 50% height loss at the anterior aspect, without evidence of enhancement or significant edema, raising the possibility of subacute vertebral body compression fracture versus devascularization of the vertebral body or avascular necrosis of this vertebral body segment. No evidence of retropulsion into the spinal canal, cord or conus compression. The appearance is not typical for metastatic disease. 2. Diffuse low T1 signal throughout the lumbar spine, most consistent with diffuse bone marrow hyperplasia or bone marrow infiltration. 3. Moderate multilevel spondylosis, most severe at L4-L5, along with grade 1 anterolisthesis at this level, resulting in moderate spinal canal narrowing which appear grossly stable compared to prior study of ___. There is moderate to severe left and mild right neural foraminal narrowing at this level. Dr. ___ these findings by phone with Dr. ___ at 03:45 on ___. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with new right-sided PICC placement. COMPARISON: Radiograph of the chest dated ___.

IMPRESSION: The right-sided PICC line courses up into the neck and ends outside the field of view of this radiograph. COMMENTS: These findings were discussed with ___ (PICC nurse) by Dr. ___ telephone at 5:09pm on ___, 30 minutes after discovery. Radiology Report INDICATION: Malpositioned right PICC. PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___ (fellow) and Dr. ___ (attending). ANESTHESIA: None. CONTRAST: None. PROCEDURE DETAILS: The patient was brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the imaging table. The preprocedure timeout was performed as per ___ protocol. A scout fluorscopic image demonstrates an indwelling right PICC extending into the internal jugular vein. One of the lumens of the indwelling right dual-lumen PICC was uncapped and cleaned with alcohol. The lumen aspirated easily and 10 cc sterile saline was injected with moderate force under fluoroscopy. The tip migrated from the right internal jugular vein into the distal SVC without difficulty. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrates the PICC in good position with the tip in the distal SVC. The patient tolerated the procedure well without complications. IMPRESSION: Successful repositioning of a right PICC. The tip is in the SVC. Radiology Report HISTORY: Status post right arm PICC with increasing swelling. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Grayscale, color, and spectral Doppler evaluation was performed of the right upper extremity veins. There is normal phasicity of the subclavian veins bilaterally. A right upper extremity PICC enters the basilic vein and courses through the right axillary and subclavian veins. One of the paired brachial veins contains echogenic thrombus, is noncompressible, and demonstrates no flow on color or spectral Doppler evaluation. The other brachial vein, basilic vein (which contains the PICC), cephalic vein, axillary vein, subclavian vein, and right internal jugular vein demonstrate normal compression. IMPRESSION: 1. Right brachial vein DVT. 2. Right basilic vein PICC without basilic, axillary, or subclavian vein thrombus. Findings were communicated via phone call by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ ___ on ___ at 1241 ___.

Per her husband, she had developed cough and mild dyspnea on ___ and was seen by her PCP who diagnosed her with PNA by CXR on ___ and started her on levofloxacin. She seemed to improve from a respiratory standpoint and was otherwise well until the morning of ___ when she was noted to be talking incoherently and was somnolent when seen by someone who was doing her hair. She was saying random but accurate sentences saying "I am going away", "I am going home", "when am I getting off". No noted seizures, fevers, chills, abdominal pain, diarrhea preceding AMS. In the ED, neuro felt that the patient had a toxic-metabolic encephalopathy due to a large dose of Keppra, possibly potentiated by levofloxacin. Cardiology was consulted due to ST depressiosn and elevated troponins, but in the setting of missed HD, they felt ACS treatment was not warranted. On initial assessment on the floor, she was awake, but unable to converse, unable to follow commands, and not oriented to person/place/time. The patient received HD on ___. On ___, the patient was triggered for unresponsiveness and a CT head was ordered out of concern for acute CVA, which revealed a large CVA in the left temparoparietal region. The stroke team recommended no anticoagulation/tPA due to infarct size and the risk for hemorrhagic conversion, but recommended supportive care with permissive hypertension, EEG, and initiating secondary prevention.

Diff - NEGATIVE (___) ECHO (___) The left atrium is moderately dilated. 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 moderately depressed - quantitative (biplane) LVEF = 35% - secondary to hypokinesis of the basal-mid inferior wall and hypokinesis of the entire anterior wall, apex, and anterior septum. Right ventricular chamber size is normal. with mild global free wall hypokinesis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no pericardial effusion. Compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of ___, there are new left ventricular wall motion abnormalities with worse biventricular global systolic function. Mitral regurgitation has progressed from mild to moderate. No evidence of intracardiac shunt. EEG (___) FINDINGS: EEG is recorded from 7 AM on ___ until 7 AM on ___. Left hemisphere electrodes are disconnected from 1 ___ until 4 ___, and there is continuous 60 Hz artifact over the right hemisphere at the same times. There is continuous O2 artifact after 2 AM, and eye leads are disconnected throughout most of the study. CONTINUOUS EEG: The background activity consists predominantly of polymorphic theta and delta activity. There is no definite posterior dominant rhythm. There is continuous focal slowing, more prominent polymorphic delta activity, and mild attenuation of faster frequencies in the left temporal region. There are no epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures. SLEEP: No normal sleep architecture is present. There are some segments with decreased muscle activity and overall slowing of the background, but no sleep transients are seen. PUSHBUTTON ACTIVATIONS: There are 5 pushbutton activations, at 10:27, 11:29, 11:30, and 2 at 12:00. During these pushbuttons, only the patient's head is visible on video. Reportedly, the pushbuttons are for some erratic movements of her legs. There are no EEG changes during these pushbuttons. SPIKE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There are frequent automated spike detections, predominantly for electrode and movement artifact. There are no epileptiform discharges. SEIZURE DETECTION PROGRAMS: Seizure detection programs did not detect any electrographic seizures. QUANTITATIVE EEG: Trend analysis is performed with Persyst Magic Marker software. Panels include 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 show diffuse background slowing with more prominent left temporal slowing. CARDIAC MONITOR: Shows a generally regular rhythm with no apparent P waves and a wide QRS complex at an average rate of 60-70 bpm. IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous ICU monitoring study because of continuous focal slowing and attenuation of faster frequencies in the left temporal region. These findings are indicative of a focal structural lesion in the left temporal region, consistent with the patient's known history of stroke. Background activity is otherwise slow and disorganized, indicative of moderate diffuse cerebral dysfunction, which is etiologically nonspecific. No electrographic seizures or epileptiform discharges are present. Five pushbutton activations for movements of her legs had no ictal EEG correlate. The type of leg movements could not be determined because only her head was visible on video at this time. Compared to the prior day's recording, there are no epileptiform discharges, but background activity is otherwise unchanged. CT HEAD ___ Again seen is an evolving left MCA distribution infarct, involving the temporal and parietal lobes with continued edema, similar to the prior study. Linear areas of hyperdensitywithin (2a:19) may represent retained contrast due to slow flow as suggested on prior studies or possible hemorrhagic conversion. The superior right frontal lobe hypodense area consistent with an evolving infarction is stable from the prior study. A linear focus seen within this region (2a: 18) is new since the prior exam. A large area of encephalomalacia in the right temporoparietal area stable. There is no shift of the midline structures and the basilar cisterns are patent. The ventricles and sulci are unchanged in size and configuration, with continued effacement of the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle. The visualized paranasal sinuses and the middle ear cavities are clear. The mastoid air cells are underpneumatized. IMPRESSION: 1. Similar appearance of evolving left MCA infarction with similar appearing linear foci of hyperdensity which may represent retained contrast, however involving blood products is also possible. 2. Evolving right frontal infarction in the superior right MCA territory stable from the prior study. Linear hyperdense focus within this region which may also represent retained contrast or evolving blood products.

Level of Consciousness: Lethargic but arousable. Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: Altered mental status. COMPARISON: Non-contrast head CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were generated. FINDINGS: There is no hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or vascular territorial infarction. Right temporoparietal encephalomalacia is unchanged compared to the prior examination. Prominent ventricles and sulci reflect age-related atrophy. Periventricular white matter hypodensities likely reflect sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Basal cisterns are patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. No fracture is identified. Paranasal sinuses show mild mucosal thickening within the left maxillary sinus. Remaining paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. Orbits are unremarkable. Calcifications are noted in the cavernous carotids. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormalities. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with altered mental status with recent pneumonia. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: AP and lateral views of the chest. Left sided dual-lumen central venous catheter seen with distal tip in the right atrium, similar to prior. The lungs are hyperinflated. Increased interstitial markings are seen throughout the lungs similar to prior given differences in technique. More confluent consolidation is seen in the left lung, minimally improved since prior. There is now blunting of the posterior costophrenic angles suggestive of small effusions. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is enlarged but stable. No acute osseous abnormality detected. IMPRESSION: Mild interval improvement in the appearance of the left lung consolidation which persists. As mentioned on prior, followup will be necessary after treatment. Trace pleural effusions. No other change. Radiology Report STUDY: CTA of the head and neck with and without contrast. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ woman with right-sided facial droop, evaluate for acute bleed. COMPARISON: Prior CTA of the head dated ___ and prior MRI of the brain dated ___. TECHNIQUE: NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: Axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain, no contrast was administered, the images were reviewed using soft tissue and bone window algorithms. CTA OF THE HEAD AND NECK: Axial MDCT images were obtained from the aortic arch through the head convexity with intravenous contrast. Axial, coronal, sagittal, and thick-slab multiplanar reformations were generated. FINDINGS: HEAD CT WITHOUT CONTRAST: Since the most recent head CT dated ___, there is a new large area of low attenuation in the left temporo-occipital and parietal region, vascular territory of the posterior branches of the left MCA with no evidence of hemorrhagic transformation. Again a chronic infarction is identified in the vascular distribution of the right MCA with extensive area of encephalomalacia. CTA OF THE HEAD: There is a filling defect, suggesting occlusion of the left M2 inferior division branch (3:251), again there are calcified plaques in the petrous and cavernous segments of both intracranial internal carotid arteries and intracranial vertebral arteries. The anterior and right middle cerebral arteries are patent as well as the posterior circulation. No aneurysms larger than 3 mm in size are seen. CTA OF THE NECK: Again, common origin of the left common carotid and brachiocephalic artery is redemonstrated. There are atherosclerotic calcifications in the aortic arch and calcified atherosclerotic plaques are redemonstrated in bilateral common carotid arteries with no significant change since the most recent study, punctate calcifications are visualized in the petrous and cavernous segments bilaterally involving the internal carotid arteries. The thyroid gland is notable for heterogeneous hypodense nodules, previously demonstrated, there is persistent and more significant pleural effusion and right upper lobe and consolidation. Multilevel degenerative changes are visualized throughout the cervical spine, more significant at C5/C6 level. The patient is status post CABG. IMPRESSION: Acute left temporo-occipitoparietal lobe infarction, suggesting occlusion of the M2 segment involving the inferior division branch as described in detail above (3:251). Unchanged right temporal extensive encephalomalacia in the vascular territory of the right middle cerebral artery. These findings were discovered and communicated via phone call by ___ to Dr. ___ on ___ at 20:31 p.m. Radiology Report HISTORY: Left-sided CVA. Question hemorrhagic conversion. TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast head CT. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: There is increased swelling of the left MCA distribution infarction. Within this are linear areas of hyperdensity. Although these may reflect hemorrhage into the infarct, there is persistent high density within the left MCA branches. Thus, this high density may be rather pooling and slow clearance of contrast from the recent CTA, rather than hemorrhage. The encephalomalacic area of the right temporal parietal lobe is stable. There is very slightly increasing shift of the midline by approximately 2 mm. The basal cisterns are widely patent. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and morphology for the patient's age. The mastoid air cells are underdeveloped. Paranasal sinuses are clear. IMPRESSION: Evolution of left MCA infarction. Linear areas of hyperdensity within the left temporal occipital parietal lobe infarction more likely represents persistent contrast within the vessels rather than hemorrhage, given their shape. Radiology Report HISTORY: Large left-sided CVA; prior R MCA CVA. Please evaluate for stroke evolution and signs of hemorrhage. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial imaging was obtained through the brain without the administration of intravenous contrast material. Coronal and sagittal reformats were completed. DLP: 1025.7 mg/cm. COMPARISON: CT head without contrast from ___. FINDINGS: Again seen is an evolving left MCA distribution infarct involving predominantly the temporal and parietal lobes, with continued edema, similar in extent to the prior study. The linear areas of hyperdensity seen within the infarct on the prior study have resolved, consistent with pooling of contrast from a prior CTA. There is no evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. The area of encephalomalacia in the right temporal and parietal lobes are stable. Deep and periventricular white matter hypodensities are again seen, likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is no significant shift of the midline structures. Basilar cisterns are patent. The ventricles and sulci are unchanged in size and configuration, with effacement of the atrium and occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle. The mastoids are underpneumatized. The imaged paranasal sinuses, mastoid antra and middle ear cavities are clear. There is calcification of the carotid siphons. IMPRESSION: Similar appearance of the evolving left MCA infarction with no evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. Continued effacement of the left temporoparietal sulci without increasing mass effect. NOTES ON ATTENDING REVIEW: 1. Linear foci of hyperdensity along the evolving left MCA infarction have decreased in density, but not completely resolved; the largest residual focus is best seen on image 2:15. This is compatible with either slow resorption of retained intravascular contrast or evolving blood products. 2. There is also an evolving right frontal infarction in the superior right MCA territory, with loss of gray/white matter differentiation but no significant mass effect, new since ___, without hemorrhagic transformation. Radiology Report HISTORY: For Dobbhoff placement. FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there has been placement of the Dobbhoff tube with the opaque portion straddling the gastroesophageal junction. Diffuse bilateral pulmonary opacifications persist. Radiology Report HISTORY: History of large left-sided CVA. Evaluate for signs of evolution or hemorrhagic conversion. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial imaging was obtained through the brain without the administration of intravenous contrast material. DLP: 1538 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Multiple prior studies most recently CT head without contrast from ___. FINDINGS: Again seen is an evolving left MCA distribution infarct, involving the temporal and parietal lobes with continued edema, similar to the prior study. Linear areas of hyperdensitywithin (2a:19) may represent retained contrast due to slow flow as suggested on prior studies or possible hemorrhagic conversion. The superior right frontal lobe hypodense area consistent with an evolving infarction is stable from the prior study. A linear focus seen within this region (2a: 18) is new since the prior exam. A large area of encephalomalacia in the right temporoparietal area stable. There is no shift of the midline structures and the basilar cisterns are patent. The ventricles and sulci are unchanged in size and configuration, with continued effacement of the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle. The visualized paranasal sinuses and the middle ear cavities are clear. The mastoid air cells are underpneumatized. IMPRESSION: 1. Similar appearance of evolving left MCA infarction with similar appearing linear foci of hyperdensity which may represent retained contrast, however involving blood products is also possible. 2. Evolving right frontal infarction in the superior right MCA territory stable from the prior study. Linear hyperdense focus within this region which may also represent retained contrast or evolving blood products.

The patient is a ___ year old female with a past medical history significant for DMII, ESRD on HD, CAD s/p CABG, CHF, HTN, HLD and seizures who presented with altered mental status found to have new left parietal stroke. #) ACUTE CEREBROVADSCULAR ACCIDENT: Left MCA stroke with previous R MCA stroke recrudescence. In the ED, the patient was able to speak in sentences, but the sentences did not make sense. She was also having difficulty following commands. A neurology consult was obtained and they felt as though this was likely a toxic metabolic encephalopathy due to a large dose of Keppra, possibly exacerbated by the Levofloxacin she was receving for her PNA. An EEG was also obtained in the ED, which did not show non-convulsive seizures or epileptiform discharges. On initial assessment on the floor, she was awake, but unable to converse, unable to follow commands, and not oriented to person/place/time. The patient received HD on ___. On ___, the patient was triggered for unresponsiveness and a CT head was ordered out of concern for acute CVA, which revealed a large CVA in the left temparoparietal region. The stroke team recommended no anticoagulation/tPA due to infarct size and the risk for hemorrhagic conversion, but recommended supportive care with permissive hypertension, EEG, and initiating secondary prevention. She was then transferred to the MICU for closer monitoring. She was started on PR aspirin and her home BP meds were discontinued. Repeat serial CT scans were obtained. There was initially some concer for hemorrhagic conversion, and ASA was briefly held, although images were thought more consistent with late contrast extravasation and ASA was restarted. Due to persistently poor mental status, a dobhoff tube was placed for enteral feedings. Her course was complicated by subclinical seizure activity on EEG. She was started on phenytoin in addition to her home levitiracetam dosing, and she received intermittent lorazepam IV for possible seizure activity with good effect. By discharge, she was having no more seizure activity, and her medications were switched to PO. #) NSTEMI: Likely represent missed NSTEMI. Drawn in ED given ST depression seen on ECG and noted to be markedly elevated to ~6. Serial measurements were generally flat with low MB fraction. Cardiology was consulted due to ST depressions seen on EKG and elevated troponins. In the settings of missed HD, they did not feel that ACS treatment was warrented. ST segment depressions persisted throughout her hospitalization. Following the identification of her stroke, an echocardiogram was obtained which showed new ___ wall motion abnormalities and decreased LVEF. Patient was not clinically in heart failure. Her ASA, carvedilol and losartan was restarted, at lower doses given MAP goals. #) COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA: Respiratory status was stable on admission and no further clinical evidence of PNA although infiltrate persisted on CXR. She was switched to ceftriaxone/azithromycin from levofloxacin and completed a 7 day course of abx. #) RECURRENT C. DIFF COLITIS: Patient was being treated with PO vancomycin at home for recurrent C. diff colitis but was switched to metronidazole and admission. This was switched back to po vancomycin after enteral access with dobhoff was established on ___. She had no clinically signficant diarrhea and repeat CDiff PCR was negative. She should continue with PO vancomycin until ___ to complete two weeks of C. diff treatment following antibiotics. CHRONIC PROBLEMS ================ #) CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, STAGE V: Continue HD. Last received dialysis ___. Should continue to receive HD MWF. #) CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, COMPENSATED: No evidence of decompensation currently. Held beta blocker and ___ after stroke for permissive hypertension, which were slowly restarted. Restarted Carvedilol and Losaratan. Echo showed worsened wall motion abnormalities and LVEF as above, although clinically patient was stable. #) DIABETES MELLITUS: Continued HISS. Gabapentin was held given somnolence. A1c was measured at 6.9% #) DYSLIPIDEMIA: Repeat lipids to tailor secondary stroke prevention therapy. #) HYPERTENSION: Goal systolic 110 to 140 to help with perfusion since she had a stroke. Restarted Carvedilol and Losartan. =========================== CONTACT / CODE STATUS =========================== # CODE: Full code (confirmed) # CONTACT: ___ (husband) home ___, cell ___ =========================== ### TRANSITIONAL ISSUES ### =========================== - please check phenytoin trough in two days (___) with target = ___. - please check electrolytes on ___ and ___. replete K to 4, phos to 3, and Mg to 2 - please maintain systolic blood pressure above 110 to help with perfusion since she had a stroke, if persistently below 110, please hold antihypertensives until pressures can tolerate these medications - please continue HD MWF - please avoid haloperidol since this decreases the seizure threshould

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: History of small bowel obstruction with multiple hernias presenting with sudden onset abdominal pain and obstipation, rule out obstruction or free air. COMPARISON: CT torso dated ___. FINDINGS: Frontal upright and supine radiographs of the abdomen were obtained. An NG tube is present with the tip in the left upper quadrant. Dilatd loops of small bowel are seen in the left upper quadrant. There are other multiple scattered air-fluid levels seen on the upright exam in this region as well as in the right lower quadrant. Calcifications bilaterally, which are coarse, curvilinear corresponding to calcifications within renal cyst seen on prior CT. Leftward curvature of the lumbar spine is noted. No free intraperitoneal air is identified. A surgical clip projects over the left femoral head. IMPRESSION: 1. Slighty dilated loops of small bowel with air fluid levels in the left upper quadrant raising possibility of obstruction. CT scan had already been ordered at time of interpretation to further assess. 2. Extensive calcifications bilaterally corresponding to calcifications within renal cysts as seen on prior CT. Radiology Report INDICATION: Possible small-bowel obstruction seen on the KUB. Has a history of a renal transplant in the left lower quadrant. COMPARISONS: CT of the torso from ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the abdomen and pelvis after the administration of oral contrast only. Sagittal and coronal reformatted images were obtained and reviewed. TOTAL DLP: 701.96 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: LUNG BASES: There is dependent bibasilar atelectasis, worse on the left than the right. There is no discrete nodule, consolidations, or pleural effusion. The base of the heart is normal in size. Trace pericardial fluid is within the normal physiologic range. ABDOMEN: The liver is normal in size with multiple hypodensities, consistent with cysts. Several of these cysts have calcifications. One of the cysts right lobe of the liver (2, 12) has become more calcified since the prior exam. The remainder of the cysts are grossly stable. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary duct dilation. The gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are normal. The native kidneys are enlarged with innumerable small and large cysts, many of which have peripheral calcifications. The largest on the right measures 13.2 cm and is slightly hyperdense, and likely a hemorrhagic or proteinaceous cyst. These are poorly characterized without intravenous contrast. An NG tube is present with the tip in the stomach. The jejunum, and probably proximal loops of the ileum, and mildly dilated measuring up to 3.3 cm. There is oral contrast throughout the proximal loops, which then becomes diluted. In the left mid abdomen, there is evidence of fecalized material, and a gradual change in caliber in the bowel dilation (2, 59 and 601b, 20) with completel distal decompression. This is consistent with a small bowel obstruction. The loops proximal to transition do not demonstrate wall thickening or pneumatosis. The bowel wall enhances homogeneously. There is a small amount of fluid in the mesentery, as well as in the left abdomen. The distal loops are completely collapsed. The colon is also mostly collapsed. The abdominal vasculature is normal in caliber with moderate atherosclerotic calcifications. There is no mesenteric, retroperitoneal, or periportal lymphadenopathy. PELVIS: There is diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis. The large bowel is mostly collapsed. The appendix is not definitely visualized, though there are no secondary signs of appendicitis in the right lower quadrant. There is a small amount of fluid and stranding along the left paracolic gutter. Additionally, there is a small amount of free fluid in the pelvis. The bladder and prostate are unremarkable. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. In the left lower quadrant, there is a transplanted kidney, which is similar in appearance to the prior exam. There is no hydronephrosis or evidence of a renal mass. There is no perinephric fluid collection. Again, there is a left inguinal hernia, which contains fluid. Overall, the amount of fluid in the hernia appears to have decreased since the prior exam in ___. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no concerning lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions. No fracture is identified. Bilateral L5 spondylolysis is seen. Anterolisthesis of L5 on S1 has progressed since the prior exam. Other moderate multilevel degenerative changes in the spine are unchanged. IMPRESSION: 1. Small bowel obstruction with a gradual transition point in the left mid abdomen. There is complete collapse of the distal small bowel loops. There is no bowel wall thickening, pneumatosis or free air. There is a small amount of nonspecific fluid around the dilated loops of bowel, in the left paracolic gutter, and layering in the pelvis. 2. Polycystic kidney and liver disease, grossly similar to the prior exam. These cysts are incompletely characterized without intravenous contrast. 3. Normal appearance of the transplanted kidney without hydronephrosis. 4. Fluid-containing left inguinal hernia. 5. Diverticulosis without diverticulitis. 6. Interval worsening of the anterolisthesis of L5 on S1. Changes to the wet read were discussed with Dr. ___ at 8:30 ___ on ___ via telephone by Dr. ___. Radiology Report INDICATION: Abdominal pain. Evaluate for cholecystitis. COMPARISONS: CT of the abdomen from ___, obtained immediately prior to this ultrasound. TECHNIQUE: Grayscale and Doppler ultrasound images were acquired through the upper quadrants. FINDINGS: The liver is normal in shape and contour. There are innumerable cysts throughout the liver, compatible with polycystic liver disease. These are better characterized on the CT. The largest is in the right lobe and measures 6.2 cm. The hepatic parenchyma between the cysts demonstrates normal echogenicity. The main portal vein is patent with normal hepatopetal flow. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary duct dilation. The intra-hepatic common bile duct measures 6 mm. In the proximal extra-hepatic region, there is mild prominence of the duct, up to 8 mm, though it tapers smoothly. No filling defect is identified. The gallbladder is not distended. There are two echogenic foci, which are not definitely mobile or shadowing. These likely represent two polyps. There are no definite stones or sludge. There is no gallbladder wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid to suggest cholecystitis. The pancreas is not well evaluated due to overlying bowel gas. The spleen is somewhat distorted by the adjacent polycystic kidneys, so appears elongated, though is likely normal in size. Limited views of the kidneys demonstrate multiple cysts, again better characterized on the CT. The largest is exophytic off the right upper pole and measures 11.1 x 10.6 x 9.9 cm. There are diffuse low-level echoes throughout this cyst, suggesting the cyst is hemorrhagic or proteinaceous. There is no nodularity or internal flow. IMPRESSION: 1. Two sub-5-mm gallbladder polyps. No definite stones. No cholecystitis. 2. Polycystic liver and kidney disease, better characterized on the concurrent CT.

Mr. ___ was evaluated by the transplant surgery team in the ED after initially presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis. In the setting of several prior abdominal operations, his history, exam, and CT were concerning for small bowel obstruction with transition point in the left-mid abdomen. He was admitted to the transplant service for NG decompression, IV hydration, and serial abdominal exams. On ___, Mr. ___ developed acute, severe abdominal pain and was taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy and lysis of adhesions. No definitive transition point was identified. Post-operatively, Mr. ___ recovered well. He was ambulatory on ___, and the NG tube was removed on ___. Bowel function returned on ___, and his diet was subsequently advanced, which Mr. ___ tolerated without difficulty. As he was moderately hypertensive, home enalapril and amlodipine were restarted ___ when he was able to take oral medications. When hypertension to SBP 160s persisted, metoprolol 12.5 BID was started on ___ - this was a former home medication - with good effect. Of note, his tacrolimus dose was decreased from his home regimen of ___ to ___ after a trough of 14.5 on ___. He will continue on this lower dose until his next lab draw on ___ and subsequent follow up with Dr. ___. On ___, Mr. ___ was ambulatory, tolerating a regular diet, and with improved blood pressure control on oral medication (as above). His incision was healing well and he was otherwise without complaint. He was deemed stable for discharge to home with follow up both in the transplant surgery clinic post-operatively and with his primary care provider for blood pressure management. He will also follow up with Dr. ___ as scheduled. He was advised to call the clinic or return to the ED with any recurrent obstructive symptoms, fever, or sign of wound infection. Mr. ___ understood these instructions and agreed with the plan. He was discharged to home on ___ in good condition.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: mechanical fall with head strike Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: The patient is a ___ with history of hepatitis C, CKD, anemia, on anticoagulation for mechanical AVR/MVR who was admitted after mechanical fall with head strike on ___ and finding of small left insular SAH with small IVH component. At that time INR was 3.3. She was admitted to Neurosurgery and coumadin was held without being actively reversed (approved by cardiology consult). Serial NCHCTs were done which were stable until ___ when there was evidence of a small intraparenchymal hemorrhagic contusion along with the SAH. This was felt to be a normal sequelae of her head strike. She was transferred to the medicine service on ___. Her INR that day was 1.8 and she was started on a heparin gtt with 2900unit bolus as a bridge to coumadin given her mechanical valves. Both the heparin with bolus was approved by the neurosurgical team. The night of ___, she had one recorded elevated PTT to 140s, but subsequent PTTs were in the goal range of 60-80. That day she was also transfused 1 unit PRBC for anemia. The following day ___, her heparin gtt was transitioned to lovenox 30mg SQ given the plan to discharge her home. Prior to discharge, she was noted to be lethargic. Around 130pm, she was even more lethargic and with slurred speech. NCHCT was done at 3pm which showed increasing left temporoparietal hemorrhage, SAH, and mass effect on the left lateral ventricle. Stroke neurology saw the patient urgently and found her hypertensive to 190s/100s, lethargic yet responsive with a right facial droop, left gaze preference, right sided weakness (right arm ___, and right leg ___, bilateral upgoing toes. She was urgently treated with Hydralazine and Labetalol IV doses while urgently transfering to the NICU under the Neurology service. BP was controlled (SBP<150) with a nicardipine gtt. No active reversal was needed as INR was 1.1 and PTT was 34. Serial NCHCTs were done to reevaluate her IPH and SAH. All anticoagulants were stopped. Over several days, her exam improved, she became more attentive, with no gaze preference, and improved strength on the right. On ___, she was transferred to the floor. However she desaturated upon lying flat to the ___ and was placed on a non-rebreather. Pulmonology performed an ultrasound which showed atelectasis in the left lung, extensive, as seen on chest x ray in the morning (likely due to mucus plugging). She was transferred to the unit. She was given incentive spirometry and did well, by the end of the day she was saturating well on 3L nasal cannula. By ___, her chest x ray was improved and she saturated well on room air. She was then transferred back to the floor.

Stable ventriculomegaly. CT C-spine ___: IMPRESSION: No acute fracture or malalignment of the cervical spine. Repeat NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: Stable left insular region subarachnoid hemorrhage as well as a small amount of intraventricular hemorrhage in the right lateral ventricle. TTE ___: Conclusions The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF >55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. A mechanical aortic valve prosthesis is present. The aortic valve prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. [The amount of regurgitation present is normal for this prosthetic aortic valve.] A mechanical mitral valve prosthesis is present. The mitral prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. The degree of mitral regurgitation seen is normal for this prosthesis. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. The end-diastolic pulmonic regurgitation velocity is increased suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___ the estimated pulmonary artery pressure is lower. There is slightly more pulmonic regurgitation. Other findings are similar. ___ ___: IMPRESSION: Interval development of likely focus of parenchymal hemorrhage, subjacent to the sites of subarachnoid hemorrhage along the left sylvian fissure, compatible with hemorrhagic contusions. Associated mild peripheral edema is seen about these foci of hemorrhage but there is no evidence of mass effect. Left Hip US ___: IMPRESSION: Soft tissue swelling overlying the left hip, with no significant hematoma identified. NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: No significant change since the previous exam in subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left sylvian fissure and two adjacent foci of intraparenchymal hemorrhage. NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: Significant increase in size of a left temporoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage with increase in subarachnoid hemorrhage involving the left frontal sulci compared to the recent prior exam. There is now increasing mass effect on the left lateral ventricle which is compressed. EKG ___: Sinus rhythm. Possible left atrial abnormality. Possible septal infarction of indeterminate age.

Compared to the previous tracing of ___ ST-T wave abnormalities are more marked, including J point ST segment elevation in leads VI-V2. Suggest clinical correlation and repeat tracing. ___ ___: IMPRESSION: No significant change in left frontotemporoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, centered in the external capsule, with subarachnoid blood layering within the sylvian fissure and adjacent frontal sulci with unchanged degree of mass effect, effacing the left lateral ventricle. Additional punctate focus of hemorrhage in the left anterior frontal cortex measuring 4 mm is unchanged. No new focus of hemorrhage or infarct. NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: In comparison to ___ exam, there is no interval change in known left intraparenchymal hemorrhage, as described above. There is surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect on the left lateral ventricle without significant mass effect. Subarachnoid hemorrhage layering in the sylvian fissure and the left sylvian fissure is unchanged. No new focus of intracranial hemorrhage. CXR ___: IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to more ___: Severe opacification in the left hemithorax is new. The abnormality obscures much of the left lower lung. I cannot tell whether it is pulmonary alone or combination of pulmonary and pleural abnormality. This could be a large pneumonia or a left lower lobe collapse as well as substantial left pleural effusion, most likely hemothorax in this patient. I discussed these findings by telephone with Dr. ___ clinical profile suggests acute lobar collapse. Imaging confirmation can be provided by chest CT scanning if appropriate. Mild pulmonary vascular congestion suggests elevated left atrial pressure. Patient has had median sternotomy and two cardiac valve replacements. There is no pulmonary edema. CXR ___: Cardiomediastinal silhouette including the two replaced valves is stable. The assessment of the left lung demonstrates opacification of the mid and lower lung, unchanged since the prior study and concerning for interval development of infectious process given the absence of the findings on ___. Aspiration or non-aspiration pneumonia are both a possibility. Combination of pleural effusion and lobe collapse should be considered, but the normal pattern of the airways would make the collapse less likely. CXR ___: IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Some volume loss has developed in the very large consolidation in the left lower lobe, probably due to aspiration pneumonia and some airway obstruction due to retained secretions. Right lung clear. Heart size top normal. The patient has had aortic and mitral valve replacements. No pneumothorax. There is some pleural effusion on the left, but not substantial. CT ABD/PELVIS ___: IMPRESSION: 1. Limited assessment due to lack of IV contrast. No definite mass is identified within the abdomen or pelvis. 2. Small amount of free fluid within the abdomen and pelvis. 3. 5mm non-obstructing stones in the lower pole of the left kidney. CT HEAD ___: IMPRESSION: Mild interval decrease in size of large left intraparenchymal hemorrhage in comparison to the most recent prior noncontrast head CT of ___ with unchanged extent of subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left sylvian fissure. Similar minimal left-to-right midline shift. CT CHEST ___: IMPRESSION: The opacity in the left lung with ground-glass and consolidative component likely reflects pneumonia or aspiration. No other lung parenchymal abnormalities. No evidence of chronic airways disease or pleural effusion. Status post CABG and bivalvular replacement. NCHCT ___: IMPRESSION: Interval stability in size and morphology of the left intraparenchymal hematoma involving the left frontal and left temporal parietal regions, compared to ___.

EKG ___: Sinus rhythm. Left atrial abnormality. Delayed R wave progression in the precordial leads. Cannot exclude prior anteroseptal myocardial infarction. Prominent voltage and prominent T waves in the precordial leads. Cannot exclude myocardial ischemia versus metabolic abnormalities, particularly hyperkalemia. Compared to the previous tracing of ___ prominent T waves are new. Consider evaluation for hyperkalemia. CXR ___: FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the pre-existing left lower lobe pneumonia has almost completely cleared. Only a small retrocardiac opacity still persists. The pre-existing elevation of the hemidiaphragm on the left is improved as compared to the previous image. No pleural effusion. Unchanged appearance of the right lung and of the cardiac silhouette. ___ ___: IMPRESSION: Large left intraparenchymal hemorrhage is unchanged in appearance from CT on ___.

ON ___ HISTORY: ___ woman with hypoxia. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to more ___: Severe opacification in the left hemithorax is new. The abnormality obscures much of the left lower lung. I cannot tell whether it is pulmonary alone or combination of pulmonary and pleural abnormality. This could be a large pneumonia or a left lower lobe collapse as well as substantial left pleural effusion, most likely hemothorax in this patient. I discussed these findings by telephone with Dr. ___ clinical profile suggests acute lobar collapse. Imaging confirmation can be provided by chest CT scanning if appropriate. Mild pulmonary vascular congestion suggests elevated left atrial pressure. Patient has had median sternotomy and two cardiac valve replacements. There is no pulmonary edema. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Coarse breathing, suspected pneumonia. AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to ___. Cardiomediastinal silhouette including the two replaced valves is stable. The assessment of the left lung demonstrates opacification of the mid and lower lung, unchanged since the prior study and concerning for interval development of infectious process given the absence of the findings on ___. Aspiration or non-aspiration pneumonia are both a possibility. Combination of pleural effusion and lobe collapse should be considered, but the normal pattern of the airways would make the collapse less likely. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 5:49 AM, ___ HISTORY: ___ woman after CVA. Readmitted for respiratory distress.

The patient is a ___ with history of hepatitis C, CKD, anemia, on anticoagulation for mechanical AVR/MVR who was admitted after mechanical fall with head strike on ___ and finding of small left insular SAH with small IVH component. At that time INR was 3.3. She was admitted to Neurosurgery and coumadin was held without being actively reversed (approved by cardiology consult). Serial NCHCTs were done which were stable until ___ when there was evidence of a small intraparenchymal hemorrhagic contusion along with the SAH. This was felt to be a normal sequelae of her head strike. She was transferred to the medicine service on ___. Her INR that day was 1.8 and she was started on a heparin gtt with 2900unit bolus as a bridge to coumadin given her mechanical valves. Both the heparin with bolus was approved by the neurosurgical team. The night of ___, she had one recorded elevated PTT to 140s, but subsequent PTTs were in the goal range of 60-80. That day she was also transfused 1 unit PRBC for anemia. The following day ___, her heparin gtt was transitioned to lovenox 30mg SQ given the plan to discharge her home. Prior to discharge, she was noted to be lethargic. Around 130pm, she was even more lethargic and with slurred speech. NCHCT was done at 3pm which showed increasing left temporoparietal hemorrhage, SAH, and mass effect on the left lateral ventricle. Stroke neurology saw the patient urgently and found her hypertensive to 190s/100s, lethargic yet responsive with a right facial droop, left gaze preference, right sided weakness (right arm ___, and right leg ___, bilateral upgoing toes. She was urgently treated with Hydralazine and Labetalol IV doses while urgently transfering to the NICU under the Neurology service. BP was controlled (SBP<150) with a nicardipine gtt. No active reversal was needed as INR was 1.1 and PTT was 34. Serial NCHCTs were done to reevaluate her IPH and SAH. All anticoagulants were stopped. Over several days, her exam improved, she became more attentive, with no gaze preference, and improved strength on the right. On ___, she was transferred to the floor. However she desaturated upon lying flat to the ___ and was placed on a non-rebreather. Pulmonology performed an ultrasound which showed atelectasis in the left lung, extensive, as seen on chest x ray in the morning (likely due to mucus plugging). She was transferred to the ICU. She was given incentive spirometry and did well, by the end of the day she was saturating well on 3L nasal cannula. By ___, her chest x ray was improved and she saturated well on room air. She was then transferred back to the floor. On the floor she did well except that she wasn't taking adequate oral intake. She was felt to be cachectic and had lost lots of weight over the previous year. She had anemia persistently throughout the hospital course which was likely in part due to her chronic renal failure and hepatitis C, but otherwise was of unclear etiology. We did a CT abdomen/pelvis to look for malignancy as a possible cause but did not find anything concerning for cancer. We had nutrition come see her and they recommended Ensure shakes, which were not low potasssium. Unfortunately, she became hyperkalemic, likely secondary to the Ensure and her known chronic renal failure, with potassium peaking at 7.0 on ___. She was given kayexalate, calcium gluconate and insulin and her potassium decreased back to normal levels. Her EKG done at the time of the hyperkalemia showed peaked T-waves, which improved when her potassium improved. The Ensure shakes were stopped. She also became slightly more somnolent around this time, but her UCx returned positive on ___, so she was put on a three day course of ceftriaxone. Her mental status improved with treatment of the UTI. Of note, she was started on warfarin on ___ at a low dose of 2.5. After three days, her INR had still not gone above 1.0, so she was also started on a heparin gtt on ___ to ensure appropriate anticogulation given her two mechanical valves. Her coumadin was increased until it was 7.5mg, which on ___ brought her INR to 2.1. Her heparin gtt was continued as her goal INR was 2.5-3.5. She had a NCHCT to ensure no increased bleeding once her INR was above 2.0, which showed a stable appearance of her hemorrhage. She was sent to rehab with a plan to continue her bridge to warfarin with goal INR 2.5-3.5. She will need her INR checked daily until it is in range. She will need her PTT checked at least every 12 hours and adjusted to maintain goal range of 50-70. In addition, her BUN and Cr have fluctuated during this admission. She has known CKD. At discharge her BUN was 43 and creatinine was 1.5. These will need to be monitored at least twice a week to ensure that she is not having worsening renal failure. ==================================================== AHA/ASA Core Measures for Intracerebral Hemorrhage 1.

PATIENT SUMMARY =============== Mr. ___ is a ___ man with chronic A fib on rivaroxaban, congestive heart failure, gout, hyperlipidemia, and other issues admitted with GI bleeding after having undergone radiofrequency ablation for ___ esophagus 8 days ago (___). After the procedure, he developed progressive light-headedness, particularly with exertion, over the past two days. He first presented to his Cardiologist yesterday (___) for a routine follow-up appointment, and due to orthostatic symptoms, his nebivolol dose was reduced to 20mg from 30mg q24h. Due to persistent light-headedness, he presented to the Emergency Department (___) for evaluation. He was hypotensive to the ___ systolic in the ED. Laboratory studies demonstrated a white count of 11.8, hemoglobin of 9.4 (down from 15.4 in ___, and platelets of 201. His INR was 1.5. Chemistry studies revealed a bicarbonate of 19, BUN of 53, and creatinine of 0.9. Chest x-ray did not reveal acute cardiopulmonary abnormalities. Gastroenterology was consulted, and plan on performing an EGD after ICU admission. He received 500cc of crystalloid and 2 units of pRBCs, he was ordered for pantoprazole, and was ultimately initiated on norepinephrine through a peripheral IV for persistent hypotension. He was intubated shortly after admission to the ICU to facilitate EGD, which demonstrated a distal esophageal erosion / ulceration at the ___ site which was sprayed with hemogel. He was immediately extubated after EGD without issues. He was transferred to the medicine ward and able to be discharged after stabilization of his heart rates. TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== [] Holding home rivaroxaban until ___ [] Recheck CBC at next visit with PCP [] Continue twice daily PPI until follow-up with GI [] Continue soft diet until ___ [] Avoid NSAIDs for the next week, use Tylenol as needed for pain [] Patient to follow-up with Dr. ___ CODE STATUS: Full code ___ (Wife) ___ ACUTE/ACTIVE ISSUES ================== #Acute upper GI bleed #Hemorrhagic shock Hemorrhagic shock ___ bleed demonstrated an esophageal ulcer at the site of the radiofrequency ablation procedure he had undergone on ___, and hemogel was applied. Briefly required pressors in setting of intubation, but responded well to volume resusitation. He has not had evidence of recurrent hemorrhage and we are continuing to follow clinically for evidence of recurrent GI bleeding, as well as following his blood counts intermittently - there has been no evidence of decreasing hemoglobin. Continued pantoprazole, ranitidine (which is a home medication), and we are holding rivaroxaban for ___ days. #Acute respiratory failure He was intubated to facilitate EGD yesterday, and was immediately extubated post-procedure. We are following his work of breathing, oxygenation, and respiratory status to guide the need for further interventions. He is on ambient air. #Leukocytosis Elevated on presentation to 11.8. No systemic or localizing s/sx of infection. Suspect hemoconcentration in setting of hemorrhagic shock. Normalized without interventions, no indication for antibiotics at this time. #Atrial fibrillation with RVR to 150s His home nodal blockade agents were held on admission due to concern for upper GI bleeding. His home regimen was restarted and he was able to tolerate it well prior to discharge. He was not in RVR at discharge. His outpatient cardiology team was notified of the decision to hold rivaroxaban for 5 to 7 days until ___. #HTN #HFpEF Held his anti-hypertensives initially given bleeding, and then while re-introducing beta-blocker as noted above. CHRONIC/STABLE ISSUES ==================== #OSA: Continued home ___ CPAP.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: SURGERY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Abdominal pain, nausea, emesis Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___: Exploratory laparotomy, lysis of adhesions and right inguinal hernia repair with mesh. History of Present Illness: MR. ___ is an affable ___ year old male vasculopath with atrial fibrillation (taking pradaxa), CAD s/p stent placement, and revascularization of RLE including a R fem-AK pop bypass graft, with history of previous ventral incisional hernia repairs who presents with abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis. He has a known right inguinal hernia that is enlarged and intermittently tender. He recounts 3 day history of abdominal discomfort with nausea and NBNB emesis. He has decreased frequency of stools but had liquid stools earlier today. No flatus since this morning. No blood or melena. On evaluation in the ED, he is afebrile VSS. His heart rate is irregular but initially rate controlled. He appears dehydrated but in good spirits. His abdomen is rotund and firm but close to his baseline with diffuse abdominal tenderness. He has a large right inguinal hernia that is easily reducible at bedside. There are no overlying skin changes. Previous midline ventral hernias are without obvious fascial defects. His laboratory values are reassuring with no leukocytosis (WBC 5.1k) and a normalized lactate 2.5->1.3 after IVF resuscitation. A CTAP w/ contrast was initially thought to suggest SBO secondary to a RIH containing a portion of the cecum and terminal ileum.

Mr. ___ is a ___ year-old male with history of previous ventral incisional hernia who presented to ___ on ___ with abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis. He had history of a right inguinal hernia was enlarged and tender on admission and he reported a decrease in frequency of stools and flatus. CT abdomen/pelvis revealed a small-bowel obstruction without a discrete transition point and he was admitted to the Acute Care Surgery service for further medical care. The patient was initially managed conservatively and had a nasogastric tube placed, was made NPO with IVF. The patient did not have return of bowel function with conservative management. On ___, the patient was consented for the OR and underwent exploratory laparotomy, lysis of adhesions and right inguinal hernia repair with mesh. The patient tolerated this procedure well and had a nasogastric tube placed for bowel decompression (reader, please refer to operative note for details). The patient remained hemodynamically stable in the PACU and was transferred to the surgical floor. Once the patient passed flatus, the patient's NGT was clamped and did not demonstrate significant residual when placed back to suction. The NGT was removed and the patient's diet was gradually advanced. The patient was alert and oriented throughout hospitalization; pain was initially managed with IV pain medication and then transitioned to oral oxycodone and acetaminophen once tolerating a diet. The patient remained stable from a cardiovascular standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. The patient remained stable from a pulmonary standpoint. Good pulmonary toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirometry were encouraged throughout hospitalization. Patient's intake and output were closely monitored. The patient's foley catheter was removed and the patient voided without issue. The patient's fever curves were closely watched for signs of infection, of which there were none. The patient's blood counts were closely watched for signs of bleeding, of which there were none. The patient's home Pradaxa was held as an inpatient due to risk of bleeding with surgery and the patient received subcutaneous heparin. ___ dyne boots were used during this stay and was encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible. At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile and hemodynamically stable. The patient was tolerating a diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well controlled. The patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan.

ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 100 mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 30 during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. Fluoro time: 0.1 min, dose: 2 mgy PROCEDURE: 1. Tunneled non-dialysis line placement PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The access site 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 triple-lumen 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. 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 each lumen was capped. The catheter was sutured in place with 0 silk sutures. Dermabond and Steri-strips were used to close the venotomy incision site. Steri-Strips were applied. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. The patient's prior temporary left IJ tunneled line was removed at the end of the procedure. FINDINGS: Patent left internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing left internal jugular vein approach triple-lumen tunneled catheter with tip terminating in the right atrium.

ACTIVE ISSUES ============== # Tibia/Fibula Fracture Now s/p repair by orthopedics. Will continue enoxaparin for a total 2 week course. Will f/u with orthopedics in two weeks (___). Now in splint, LLE is non-weight bearing, okay for touch down. Pain control with tylenol. # O2 requirement Patient has developed new O2 requirement after surgery. Most likely due to atelectasis. Was weaned back to RA and O2 sats were 93% on RA on the day of discharge. # Hyperkalemia Potassium noted to be 5.0 upon admission. Was recently noted to be 4.6 on outpatient labs. Was as high as 5.7 during admission- no EKG changes noted. Decreased with kayexalate and was 4.4 on the day of discharge. # S/p Fall Per history, most likely mechanical in nature, CT head negative. No further workup at this time. # UTI Patient denied any dysuria; however, UA noted to have large ___, nitrites and >172 WBC. Was initially treated with Cefazolin given this was also used as postop ppx. Was then transitioned to Cefpodoxime, however, sensitivities came back on ___ showing a MDR pseudomonal UTI. Was treated with Ceftazadime for 1 day on ___. Sensitivities then came back showing sensitive to Fosfoymcin- he received 1 dose on ___ and will receive one more dose on ___. # Leukocytosis WBC noted to be elevated at 12.6 upon admission. Remained elevated throughout admission and ultimately thought to be due to stress versus UTI as above. # Anemia Per outpatient records, most recent H/H was 9.9/31.8. Per PCP, this is thought to be due to his CKD. H/H 9.7/29.5 upon admission. On ___ H/H noted to be 7.0/21.4 without any active signs of bleeding. Patient was transfused one unit of pRBCs and his Hct bumped appropriately. # ___ on CKD Per recent records, Cr 2.07 as of most recent PCP progress note. Upon admission, Cr was 2.4- thought to be due to pre-renal azootemia in the setting of fall and likely poor PO intake. On the day of discharge, Cr had trended down to 1.7. # Orthostatic Hypotension Patient was noted to be orthostatic during admission. This was felt to be due to volume depletion due to poor PO intake immediately following surgery. He received several small boluses of 500cc NS and orthostatics were negative on the day of discharge.

Mr ___ ruled out for ACS with negative troponins x3. TTE and exercise MIBI also revealed poor exercise tolerance but structurally normal heart with normal EF (65%). Chest pain ultimately resolved with Maalox and tums, as well as with improvement of electrolyte disturbances as described below. On arrival, Mr ___ was noted to be in polymorphic VT that did not require defibrillation. Electrolytes revealed hypomagnesemia to 1.2, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hypophosphatemia in the context of recent nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Patient also has history of alcohol abuse raising concern for malnutrition as well. Electrolytes were repleted aggressively and returned within normal limits. Despite patient reporting that he had cut down on his alcohol consumption to a can of beer every few days, he was started on CIWA scale to prevent acute withdrawal symptoms. Of note, correction of electrolytes did not resolve prolonged QT noted on EKG. It was noted that Mr ___ was taking citalopram and quetiapine for his anxiety/depression, both of which are QT prolonging medications. Both were held this hospitalization. At discharge, QTc is 442ms, but review of old EKGs in the system also suggests that patient may have prolonged QT at baseline. Mr ___ has remained completely asymptomatic. Finally, given the discontinuation of quatiapine and citalopram, Psychiatry was consulted for anxiety/depression management. Patient was offered 50 mg Trazodone twice daily as needed for anxiety and started on Mirtazapine 15 mg at night for depression.

BRIEF HOSPITAL COURSE #Abdominal pain/emesis: Patient was recently admitted multiple times for abdominal pain and found to have colitis. No ascites were present on exam. CT abdomen and pelvis on ___ showed no evidence of small bowel obstruction, ileus, appendicitis, or colitis to explain the patient's symptoms, and patient's emesis had completely resolved upon admission. Given patient's recurrent admissions for abdominal pain for presumed colitis, decision was made for colonoscopy for definitive diagnosis. Patient had colonoscopy on ___ which showed no actiive inflammation, but one polyp which was removed. As a result, patient was discharged with diagnosis of presumed prior gastroenteritis given resolution of symptoms on admission. # Alcohol use: Patient is good historian and reported no recent alcohol use (X 1.5 months). She has no signs of alcohol withdrawal and was continued on her home thiamine and folate in house. # Lactic Acidosis: Elevated to 5.5 on admission, after fluid improved to 1.7. Lactate elevation was determined to be due to likely hypovoelmia in the setting of emesis which resolved on hospital stay. #Sinus tachycardia: She has a known history of HR in the 100s during prior admissions, now recurrent. After initial fluid resuscitation (see above) HR stabilized. # ETOH/HCV crrhosis: C/b ascites, encephalopathy (multiple admissions this year for confusion), 2 grade 1 varices on EGD ___ and portal hypertensive gastropathy. HCV genotype 1. MELD 17 (similar to prior admissions). During this admission given HCV history cryoglobins were checked (as possible etiology of ischemic colitis to explain her abdominal pain) and were pending at time of discharge. # Hx HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY: Positive hx in past, not on this admission.

TECHNIQUE: Multi detector CT images through the abdomen and pelvis were obtained after the administration of intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were generated and reviewed. DOSE: 388 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT dated ___. FINDINGS: Chest: The bases of the lungs are clear bilaterally. Coronary artery calcifications are noted. There is no pericardial effusion, resolved since prior examination. Abdomen: The liver appears homogeneous in attenuation. Patient is status post Whipple procedure with hepaticojejunal anastomasis and expected trace pneumobilia. Patient is status post cholecystectomy. The remaining portion of the pancreas is unremarkable. There appears to be new or more extensive soft tissue density extending from the pancreatic head bed posteriorly to the retroperitoneum encasing the celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery, and portal vein, concerning for recurrent tumor. The spleen is within the upper limits of normal in size without focal lesions. Bilateral adrenal glands are unremarkable. Kidneys enhance symmetrically, unremarkable in appearance. No focal lesion is identified. There is trace amount of fluid which surrounds the liver and descends along the right pericolic gutter which appears to be of low density and decreased in amount when compared to prior examination dated ___. Contrast is seen within the stomach lumen. Contrast is identified distally within loops of small bowel. There is no evidence of obstruction. The appendix is not well visualized. Loops of large bowel demonstrate moderate fecal load and is otherwise unremarkable. There is no free intra-abdominal air. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber without aneurysmal dilatation. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric adenopathy. Pelvis: The bladder is well distended, grossly unremarkable. The prostate gland and seminal vesicles are within normal limits. Trace amount of pelvic free fluid is noted. There is no inguinal or pelvic wall adenopathy. Within the right inguinal canal, there is a 1.9 x 3.2 x 4.5 cm fluid-filled rim enhancing structure with foci of air. This does not appear to be connected to a loop of bowel and is concerning for a focal abscess. Surrounding inflammatory changes are noted within the subcutaneous tissues anterior to this structure. Patient is ___ weeks status post a right inguinal hernia repair and these findings may represent postoperative changes with residual seroma. There is no left-sided inguinal hernia. There is no inguinal or pelvic sidewall adenopathy. Osseous structures: No suspicious lytic or blastic lesions are identified. Multilevel degenerative changes are identified most prominent at the L5-S1 level with disc space narrowing and endplate sclerosis. IMPRESSION: 1. New or more extensive, difficult to compare given differences in acquisition, soft tissue density extending from the pancreatic head bed and extending posteriorly to the retroperitoneum encasing the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries as well as portal vein. This is concerning for recurrent tumor. 2. Patient is status post Whipple with trace pneumobilia noted within the liver. Additional trace amount of free fluid is noted about the liver and tracking inferiorly along the right pericolic gutter, decreased since prior examination dated ___. 3. Right inguinal fluid and air filled structure with overlying subcutaneous inflammatory changes may reflect postoperative changes status post recent hernia repair with a residual seroma. An abscess in the absence of pain at the site is felt unlikely. NOTIFICATION: Updated impression regarding the apparent more extensive mass extending from the pancreatic bed to the retroperitoneal is concerning for recurrent tumor communicated after morning read out with the attending on ___ at 9:23 am to Dr. ___ page text after two failed attempts to page for direct communication via telephone. A call was made to Dr. ___ listed covering the patient in POE, with the updated report at 9:29 on ___. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with history of cholangiocarcinoma; restaging of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma s/p Whipple procedure with new local recurrence based on ab CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: Contrast-enhanced chest CT was performed acquiring sequential axial images from the thoracic inlet through the adrenal glands. Thin section axial, coronal, sagittal and axial MIP's were also obtained. 75 cc of Omnipaque 350 were administered intravenously without reported complication. DOSE: Total DLP = 235.40mGy-cm COMPARISON: No prior chest CT available for comparison. FINDINGS: The thyroid gland is unremarkable. There are no pathologically enlarged supraclavicular, mediastinal, hilar or axillary lymph nodes. Heart size is normal with no pericardial effusion. Scattered coronary artery and mitral annular calcifications are present. The main pulmonary artery and thoracic aorta are normal caliber. No incidental pulmonary embolism is identified. A few punctate pulmonary nodules measuring up to 1 mm are identified (5:105, 106, 116). A few punctate calcified granulomas are also present (5: 175, 205, 273). There is no endobronchial lesion or pleural effusion. Mild bilateral gynecomastia is incidentally noted. Multilevel spinal degenerative changes are stable. A sclerotic lesion involving the T3 vertebral body is most consistent with a bone island. For a detailed discussion of the upper abdomen, please refer to the separate report from the CT abdomen/pelvis performed one day prior. IMPRESSION: A few punctate pulmonary nodules measuring up to 1 mm have a relatively low index of suspicion for malignancy. However, given the known history of diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, a three-month followup chest CT is recommended.

Mr. ___ is a ___ with a PMHx of HTN, stable LUL nodule, and sp R THA in ___ sp revision by Dr. ___ ___ now presnting with bilateral lower extremity swelling and fever. # Bilateral ___ Edema: Unclear etiology why edema was bilateral. Possibly secondary to holding HCTZ at last discharge. Left leg edema resolved with Lasix x 2. Right lower extremitiy edema remained and was attributed to soft tissue inflammation causing impaired venous drainage of the limb. He had normal lower extremity Doppler US, normal TTE, normal albumin, normal liver function, relatively normal renal function without proteinuria. Cellulitis was felt to be unlikely given absent cutaneous pain, no leukocytosis. # Fever: Tm 101.6 in ER on POD#5. There was never an associated leukocytosis or sepsis physiology. The fevers were attributed to post-op inflammation versus drug fever - seen occasionally with enoxaparin. There was no evidence of venous thromboembolism, UTI, diarrhea, PNA, prostate tenderness, sinusitis, or LFT abnormalities. Cellulitis and prosthetic joint infection were felt to be unlikely and the patient was treated with only 2 doses of vancomycin. He was not discharged on antibiotics. # Acute kidney injury: His Cr was rising at discharge (1.5 from 1.1 on admission). This was felt to be related to IV contrast exposure ___ and ___. This elevation fit with the timeline of contrast-induced nephropathy. He had no evidence of RP hemorrhage on ___ CT to indicate ureteral compression and he did not appear hypovolemic. At discharge, a follow up plan was made for repeat chem7 to be drawn at PCP's office. # Thrombocytopenia: RESOLVED. Has a history of recurrent thrombocytopenia. 4T score for most recent admission is 2. Two of three prior PLT count decreases that were associated with heparin administration were also associated with fall of HCT (i.e. blood loss in setting of surgery; pt received lovenox on ___ and ___ and had anemia both times in setting of surgery). DDx includes alcohol related (given hx of etoh use per record), consumption from ongoing mild bleeding associated with surgery. Hemolysis unlikely based on LDH, haptoglobin, and bilirubin. Thrombocytopenia resolved to normal during the admission. # Anemia: Likely ___ post-operative blood loss. Stable from recent admission. Baseline Hgb >14, but here Hgb was ___. Hemolysis labs were negative. Likely loss secondary to surgery into hip, but there was no evidence of significant hematoma on CT ___. We recommended repeat CBC as an outpatient in the next ___ days post-discharge. # Right total hip arthroplast: ___. Weight bearing as tolerated bilaterally.

Disp:*60 Tablet(s)* Refills:*0* Discharge Disposition: Extended Care Facility: ___ Discharge Diagnosis: Primary Diagnosis: Right Frontal Subdural Hemorrhage, Urinary Tract Infection Secondary Diagnosis: Cataplexy, Narcolepsy, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Dementia Discharge Condition: Mental Status: Clear and coherent. Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Neurologic: Awake, alert, oriented to place, hospital, time. Speech fluent and answers most questions appropriately. Otherwise nonfocal. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CT OF THE CERVICAL SPINE HISTORY: Combative dementia and unwitnessed fall, with presentation to outside hospital with subdural hematoma, hip pain and tenderness overlying T3 and T4 COMPARISONS: An outside head CT is available from ___. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the cervical spine were obtained without intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations were also performed. FINDINGS: There is no evidence for fracture, dislocation or bone destruction. Moderate degenerative changes involve the cervical spine. The upper thoracic spine including T3 and T4 are not fully imaged. Degenerative changes are moderate at the anterior C1-C2 articulation including fragmented osteophytes and periarticular calcification. The C3-C4 interspace is largely calcified, with a posterior disc bulge and mild neural foraminal narrowing on the right by uncovertebral joint osteophytes. There is also mild right-sided neural foraminal narrowing at C4-C5 and bilaterally at C5-C6 association with facet and uncovertebral joint osteophytes. Facet joint degenerative changes are most striking on the left at C3-C4 and C4-C5 and on the right at C5-C6. Mild facet joint degenerative changes are present at C6-C7 bilaterally. Facet joint changes are moderate at C7-T1 level on the right. Minimal spondylolisthesis of C7 on T1 is probably due to facet joint degenerative changes, which are so again moderately prominent on the right side. The lung apices show thickened interlobular septa and patchy ground glass opacification suggesting pulmonary congestion. The thyroid is heterogeneous, probably reflecting multiple nodules. The right lobe is attenuated with patchy calcification. Patchy vascular calcifications are also noted along each carotid bulb. Vascular calcifications are widespread and striking along the course of the left vertebral artery. IMPRESSION: 1. Moderate degenerative changes. 2. No evidence for fracture. 3. Findings at the lung apices suggesting pulmonary vascular congestion. 4. Heterogeneous thyroid probably reflecting nodules which could be examined in more detail by ultrasound if clinically indicated. Radiology Report STUDY: AP pelvis and mages of left hip. INDICATION: Patient with cognitive dementia, transferred in with history of subdural hematoma and left hip pain. TECHNIQUE: AP pelvis, single view left hip was obtained. COMPARISON: None. REPORT: The examination is markedly limited, but within this limitation, a single AP view of the pelvis does not definitively reveal a fracture. Degenerative changes are noted in the symphysis pubis. Degenerative change also noted in both hips. CONCLUSION: No good evidence of acute fracture. Radiology Report INDICATION: Evaluate for interval change of subdural hematoma. COMPARISONS: CT head ___. CT head ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without the administration of IV contrast. FINDINGS: A left frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter is in an unchanged position near the septum pellucidum. The ventricles are mildly prominent which is unchanged from prior exams. A right frontal hyperdense extra-axial collection appears grossly unchanged in size. The apparent difference in size is likely due to a substantial difference in the plane of scanning. There is mild mass effect with some effacement of the adjacent sulci, but no shift of the normal midline structures or effacement of the cisterns. The basal cisterns appear patent. There are no new foci of hemorrhage. There is no evidence of infarction. No fracture is identified. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The soft tissues are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No gross change in the size of the right frontal subdural hematoma or its mild mass effect. 2. No new focus of hemorrhage. 3. Stable prominence of the ventricles with a ventriculostomy catheter in unchanged position. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female, status post fall with right elbow pain, point tenderness, worse with movement. COMPARISONS: None available. TECHNIQUE: Right elbow, three views. FINDINGS: Assessment of the right elbow is limited as the lateral view was taken with the elbow in extension. Allowing for these limitations, an equivocal positive posterior fat pad sign is present, which is concerning for a periarticular fracture. There are no focal osseous lesions or radiopaque foreign objects. IMPRESSION: Probable periarticular fracture. Further assessment is needed with a proper lateral view with a flexed elbow. These concerns were communicated by Dr. ___ to ___ ___ via telephone on ___ at 4:45 p.m. Radiology Report STUDY: Single lateral view of the right elbow ___. COMPARISON: Radiographs earlier the same day. INDICATION: Multiple falls and right elbow pain. FINDINGS: Unremarkable soft tissues. Anterior fat pad sign and small posterior fat pad, consistent with a small joint effusion. However, on the single view no definite fracture identified. IMPRESSION: Small elbow joint effusion. If there is concern for an occult fracture, recommend further evaluation with CT. Radiology Report CHEST HISTORY: Cough and chest pain, question infiltrate. REFERENCE EXAM: ___. FINDINGS: Shunt tubing is coursing over the right lateral chest. The heart is upper limits normal in size. There are some patchy areas of alveolar opacity. It could represent areas of volume loss or early infiltrate. These are more conspicuous than on the prior exam from ___. Gender: F Race: WHITE Arrive by AMBULANCE Chief complaint: S/P FALL SDH Diagnosed with TRAUMATIC BRAIN HEM NEC, OPEN WOUND OF SCALP, UNSPECIFIED FALL, DEMENTIA IN CONDITIONS CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE WITHOUT BEHAVIROAL DISTURBANCE, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE temperature: 97.4 heartrate: 74.0 resprate: 16.0 o2sat: 98.0 sbp: 120.0 dbp: 74.0 level of pain: 13 level of acuity: 2.0
___ with a history of narcolepsy with cataplexy and NPH s/p VPS in ___ who presented s/p fall with ___ diagnosed on head CT ___. [] Subdural Hemorrhage. On ___, patient was admitted to the SICU and monitored overnight. A repeat Head CT was done on the morning of ___ which showed that the SDH had not increased in size, there was no new hemorrhage and the VPS shunt was in place. No focal deficits were identified on serial neuro exams. She was started on Dilantin 100 mg TID. On ___, the patient was transferred to the step-down unit. She remained neurologically intact. Physical therapy consult was initiated and patient was able to be OOB with assistance. On ___, the Dilantin level was 1.8 and the patient was transitioned to Keppra 500mg po BID. On ___, the patient was transferred to inpatient neurology for further management. She has no further seizures. Levetiracetam, despite its possible behavioral effects, was thought to be the best choice (other than phenytoin) for prevention of seizures from intracranial hemorrhage. [] Narcolepsy. Per daughter, the patient's narcolepsy appears to be worse in the hospital. She was having more episodes of cataplexy and falling asleep more frequently. On ___, the patient's neurologist Dr. ___ was contacted, and he asked that her Venlafaxine be changed from BID dosing to once daily (in the morning) as previously prescribed. After much discussion, her prior medication of Xyrem will likely be restarted as an outpatient (3.75 at bedtime and 3.75 grams ___ hours later). If that is the case, her Olanzapine will need to be stopped, and her Venlafaxine and Sertraline will need to be readdressed as to their utility. She will follow-up with Dr. ___ discharge. ***Once XYREM is restarted, please contact Dr. ___ at ___ to determine what other medications should be discontinued. DO NOT ADMINISTER OLANZAPINE (ZYPREXA) IF XYREM IS RESTARTED.*** [] Combativeness/Aggression. On ___ and ___, the patient was agitated and combative, requiring restraints on both nights. She had not been written for olanzapine as she previously was prescribed. She was found to have received twice her normal dose of Zyprexa in the previous day. The patient was returned to her home (___) dose of the medication on ___. Her mental status improved. She has been alert and oriented x3 and intermittently x2 since then. She has been off restraints for more than 24 hours and has been much calmer after treatment of her UTI and correction of her medications. [] Chest pain. On ___, the patient reported brief chest pain and several gagging episodes associated with coughing but no frank vomiting. EKG was normal. Cardiac enzymes x2 were normal. CXR showed atelectasis. The transient chest pain associated with gagging episode was attributed to GERD, and famotidine was started empirically. Due to potential anticholinergic effects, Geriatrics recommeded changing to an alternate medication. Calcium carbonate was used instead. twice daily [] Right arm pain. On ___ the patient complained of right elbow pain which was diffuse and more painful with movement. A right elbow xray was ordered and appeared grossly normal. [] UTI. The patient has a history of recurrent UTIs. She had a normal UA and UCx on admission but was subsequently catheterized. The second urinary culture grew E.coli resistant to TMP-SMX and Ciprofloxacin but sensitive to Ceftriaxone. She has been afebrile and denies any symptoms. She was treated with Cefpodoxime 200 mg BID x 7 days.

Coronal and sagittal reformats were also performed. DOSE: DLP: 891 mGy-cm CTDI: 54 mGy COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or large territorial infarction. The ventricles and sulci are prominent compatible with age related atrophy. The basal cisterns are patent. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. There is no fracture. The included paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear except for minimal mucosal thickening in the ethmoidal air cells. There is no fracture. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial abnormality. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECK INDICATION: ___ year old man with R INO, left sided weakness // stroke? TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted and axial T1 weighted, T2 weighted, FLAIR, susceptibility and diffusion weighted images were obtained through the head. Three dimensional time of flight MR arteriography of the head, and two dimensional time of flight MR arteriography of the neck were performed with rotational reconstructions. COMPARISON: CT head without contrast of ___ for, MR pituitary with and without contrast of ___. FINDINGS: MRI HEAD: There is no intra or extra-axial mass effect, acute hemorrhage or infarct. Sulci, ventricles and cisterns are within expected limits for the degree of age appropriate volume loss. There are minimal subcortical and periventricular nonspecific FLAIR/ T2 white matter hyperintensities, which is commonly seen in setting of small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of this age. The major intracranial flow voids are preserved. Mild mucosal thickening of ethmoid air cells is noted otherwise the paranasal sinuses are essentially clear. The patient is status post bilateral lens replacements otherwise orbits are unremarkable. The mastoid air cells are clear. HEAD MRA: Normal flow related signal is seen in the intracranial internal carotid, middle cerebral and anterior cerebral arteries without significant mural irregularity or stenosis. There is normal symmetric arborization of the MCA branches. There is no aneurysm greater than 3 mm. Normal flow related signal is seen in the right dominant intracranial vertebral arteries, the basilar artery, and the bilateral superior cerebellar and posterior cerebral arteries. NECK MRA: The cervical common carotid, internal carotid and external carotid arteries are normal in course, caliber and contour. They demonstrate normal flow related signal without mural irregularity, stenosis or evidence of dissection. The right dominant vertebral arteries are normal in course, caliber and contour.

___ is an ___ year old man with an extensive past medical history, including end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, prior history of possible anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and spinal stenosis, who presents with double vision upon waking the morning before admission. He was admitted overnight, after which his diploplia resolved spontaneously. However, he then noted decreased vision in his left eye. He had impaired left visual field on his right eye on exam (most likely chronic). However, visual acuity appeared to be equal in both eyes and mostly intact. Otherwise, his exam was only notable for findings consistent with cervical spinal stenosis. A non-contrast head CT and an MRI of his head and MRA brain/neck were performed, and all imaging was negative for any signs of acute stroke. Pt was most likely experiencing a microischemic cranial neuropathy, causing transient medial rectus palsy. Myasthenia ___ was also considered, but is a less likely diagnosis.

No definite cord signal abnormality is seen on axial images. Mild to moderate right and moderate to severe left neural foraminal narrowing by uncovertebral and facet osteophytes is present. At C5-C6, posterior endplate osteophytes and thickening of the ligamentum flavum result in moderate to severe narrowing of the spinal canal with flattening of the ventral spinal cord. Evaluation of cord signal on sagittal images is limited by artifacts. No definite cord signal abnormality seen on axial images. There is moderate right and severe left neural foraminal narrowing by uncovertebral and facet osteophytes. At C6-C7, posterior endplate osteophytes indent the ventral thecal sac but do not contact the spinal cord. There is moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing by uncovertebral and facet osteophytes. At C7-T1, no spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing is seen.

Mr. ___ is a ___ with HIV since ___ (with CD4 171 ___, undetectable viral load on HAART), Hep B, Hep C, SCC of anus treated with excision/XRT (___), asthma, s/p recent umbilical hernia repair c/b cellulitis, c-diff infection, complaining of abdominal distension, weakness, dizziness and rectal bleeding. # Colitis with known C. diff infection: He had abdominal pain and distention on presentation, and CT consistent with pan-colitis in the setting of known C. diff. There was low suspicion for obstruction given imaging findings, good PO intake and ongoing bowel movements. A flexible sigmoidoscopy was performed on ___ which showed petechiae and abnormal vascularity in the rectum, sigmoid colon and distal descending colon compatible with unspecified colitis. A diagnostic paracentesis was considered given suspicion for SBP but deferred due to lack of readily accessible ascites pocket, lack of signs of systemic infection and slowly improving abdominal exam. He was initially treated with vanc/metronidazole and subsequently narrowed to PO vancomycin (given that metronidazole can cause abdominal discomfort confounding his exam). After discharge he will need to complete a course of PO vancomycin pending clinical response (tentatively will continue vancomycin until ___ and will reassess clinical symptoms of C. diff that time). Given concern for alternate cause of colitis, cold forceps biopsies were taken of left colon during flexible sigmoidoscopy and pending at time of discharge; results were pending and will need follow-up after discharge. # ___: He has had slowly worsening renal function over the past 4 weeks. Urine electrolytes were notable for FeNA 0.2%, FeUrea 0.28% suggesting pre-renal etiology in the setting of C. difficile diarrhea. He improved slightly after albumin. The differential diagnosis for a second underlying process contributing to his subacutely worsening renal function remains broad, and in consultation with nephrology, cryoglobulins were sent due to concern for cryoglobulin-mediated renal disease. # Cirrhosis: ___ class B. Likely secondary to ETOH/HBV/HCV. Decompensated by esophageal varices and coagulopathy, also with ascites. Was treated for HIV and HCV as below. He was not given diuretics given ___ and known volume loss from intraabdominal C. difficile infection. # Hypoglycemia: He was noted to have low FSBGs in the ___. He never had symptoms of hypoglycemia. He has not been using insulin. Venous glucose has been consistently higher than FSBGs, raising concern for falsely low values on FSBG possibly due to cryoglobulinemia. Given this finding, further workup for hypoglycemia was deferred. # Thrombocytopenia: He had chronic thrombocytopenia which has been worse for past 3 months. Likely multifactorial, secondary to splenic sequestration (known massive splenomegaly >20cm), cirrhosis and marrow suppression in setting of HIV/HepB/HepC. We continued SC Heparin for prophylaxis. # Leukopenia: He had a history of chronically low WBC since at least ___. Likely related to chronic viral infections, can pursue outpatient workup if indicated. Not neutropenic during this admission. # Vertigo, gait disturbance: Followed by outpatient neurology. On previous neurology assessment, dizziness and imbalance were felt to be likely multifactorial contributed by prior cerebellar insults, orthostasis and peripheral neuropathy. Also possibly contributory hypoglycemia on this admission. Neuro exam with no new neurologic deficit. He was evaluated by physical therapy who recommended rehab placement due to gait instability with a rolling walker. # BRBPR: Hct remained stable and near baseline. His history of BRBPR was most likely secondary to known internal hemorrhoids, seen on colonoscopy in ___. Also had EGD from ___ which showed varices at the distal esophagus, congestive gastropathy. He had no active bleeding during this admission. # Cryoglobulinemia: He likely has mixed cryoglobulinemia in setting of chronic HCV infection. HBV and HIV were also noted to be associated with cryoglobulinemia. With regard to symptoms, he has known peripheral neuropathy but no palpable purpura. Treatment would include immunosuppression and treatment of underlying viral infections. CNS vasculitis from cryoglobulins can manifest as stroke. However unclear that cryoglobulinemia is driving his symptomology at this time. C3, C4 very low this admission. CBC tubes were placed in warm water and taken immediately to lab. He had cryoglobulin level pending at discharge which will need follow-up after discharge. # HIV: On treatment. Viral load undetectable, CD4 count was 247 in ___. Renally dosed HIV meds. # HCV: S/P treatment in past (s/p ribavirin and IFN) but last viral load in ___ over 1,000,000.

COMPARISON: CT head ___. MRI head ___. FINDINGS: No intra or extra-axial hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of midline structures is present. Differentiation of the gray and white matter is preserved. The sulci, basal cisterns, and ventricles are normal. Mild mucosal thickening is demonstrated within the ethmoid air cells, bilateral maxillary sinuses, and left sphenoid sinus with an air-fluid level noted in the right sphenoid sinus. The mastoid air cells and frontal sinuses are clear. There are no osseous or soft tissue abnormalities otherwise demonstrated. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormality. MRI is more sensitive for the detection of acute ischemia. Pansinus disease, with air-fluid level in the right sphenoid sinus suggestive of acute inflammation. Radiology Report HISTORY: Chest pain. Evaluate for pulmonary embolus. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired from the thoracic inlet to the dome of the liver after the uneventful administration of 100 mL of Omnipaque. Coronal and sagittal reformations are provided and reviewed. Max intensity projection images were created and reviewed as well. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Contrast is seen opacifying the segmental and subsegmental vessels of the pulmonary arterial tree, without a filling defect to suggest a pulmonary embolus. The aorta and main pulmonary artery are normal in caliber. There is no dissection or acute aortic injury. The heart is normal in size and there is no pericardial effusion. The image thyroid is normal. There is no axillary, hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The esophagus is unremarkable. The trachea is normal in caliber. The airways are patent to the subsegmental level. There is no pleural effusion pneumothorax. There is no focal airspace consolidation. The pleural surfaces are smooth. This study was not designed to evaluate the subdiaphragmatic contents. Images of the arterially enhanced liver and spleen are unremarkable. There is a moderate dextroscoliosis of the thoracic spine. Bilateral prepectoral breast implants are noted. IMPRESSION: No pulmonary embolus. Radiology Report CTA OF THE HEAD AND NECK, ___ HISTORY: ___ female with possible stroke; evaluate for stenosis or dissection. TECHNIQUE: Routine ___ enhanced CTA of the head and neck, comprising helical 1.25-mm axial MDCT sections from the level of the main pulmonary artery through the cranial vertex during dynamic intravenous administration of 70 mL Omnipaque-350. Multiplanar thick-slab MIP-reconstructed and rotational volume-rendered 3D-reconstructed and curved planar reformatted images were prepared and viewed on a separate workstation. FINDINGS: The study is compared with the cranial NECT obtained approximately one hour earlier, as well as the enhanced MR examination, obtained roughly 11 hours later. There is a normal appearance of the aortic arch and great vessel origins, without significant calcified or soft plaque. There is a similarly unremarkable appearance to the common and cervical internal and external carotid arteries, with no significant mural irregularity or flow-limiting stenosis. The proximal and distal ICA minimum diameter (D min) measurements are as follows: On the right, 8 mm and 4 mm and on the left, 6.0 mm and 4 mm, with no flow-limiting or tandem stenosis. There is a slightly dominant left vertebral artery and both vessels demonstrate normal course, caliber and contour and uniform enhancement from their subclavian origins through the vertebrobasilar junction, with no finding to suggest dissection. The intracranial carotid and proximal middle and anterior cerebral arteries are normal with no significant mural irregularity or flow-limiting stenosis. The basilar artery demonstrates normal caliber and contour, with no significant mural irregularity or flow-limiting stenosis. There is a "patulous" basilar summit with conjoined origins of its terminal vessels. There is, including a prominent infundibular origin of the left superior cerebellar artery and the diminutive P1 segment of that posterior cerebral artery, with a fetal-equivalent left PCA. Robust anterior and right posterior communicating vessels are demonstrated, with no aneurysm larger than 2 mm. There is prompt, symmetric opacification of the principal dural venous sinuses and major deep cerebral veins, with no finding to suggest thrombosis. The limited included lung apices are clear, that portion of the superior mediastinum is grossly unremarkable. The thyroid gland is grossly symmetric and unremarkable, and there is no cervical lymphadenopathy. The included aerodigestive tract is grossly unremarkable, with no exophytic mucosal lesion. There is mucosal thickening involving the maxillary antra, with mucus retention cyst on the left, the anterior and posterior ethmoidal and the sphenoid air cells, with likely small amount of layering fluid in the hypoplastic right sphenoid air cell, which may indicate an acute inflammatory component. Noted is reversal of the normal cervical lordosis with severe multilevel degenerative disease and significant spinal canal and neural foraminal narrowing, most marked at the C5-6 and C6-7 levels. IMPRESSION: 1. Unremarkable cranial and cervical vessels with no evidence of steno-occlusive disease or dissection. 2. No finding to suggest cerebral venous thrombosis. 3. Chronic inflammatory disease in the paranasal sinuses, with possible acute inflammatory component involving the right sphenoid air cells; correlate clinically. 4. Severe cervical spondylosis with significant ventral canal and bilateral neural foraminal stenosis, particularly at the C4-5 through C6-7 levels, incompletely evaluated.

Radiology Report BRAIN MRI WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST, ___ INDICATION: ___ woman with history of breast cancer, now with one day of right face and arm numbness. Evaluate for cerebrovascular accident, other process. COMPARISON: ___. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1-weighted, and axial T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, gradient echo, and diffusion-weighted images of the brain were obtained. Following intravenous gadolinium administration, axial T1-weighted and sagittal MP-RAGE images of the brain with multiplanar reformations were obtained. FINDINGS: There is no evidence for an intra-axial or extra-axial enhancing lesion to suggest intracranial metastatic disease. There is no acute infarction, edema, mass effect, or evidence of blood products in the brain parenchyma. Ventricles, basal cisterns, and cerebral sulci are normal in size and configuration. Major arterial flow voids are grossly preserved. ___ cisterna magna is again noted, a normal variant. Endplate osteophytes are again noted in the imaged upper cervical spine at C3-4 and C4-5, abutting the ventral spinal cord, incompletely evaluated. There is mild-to-moderate mucosal thickening in bilateral ethmoidal air cells, and mild mucosal thickening in bilateral maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. There is also a small mucous retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus. Right frontal sinus is unremarkable. Left frontal sinus is not pneumatized. IMPRESSION: No evidence of an acute infarction or other acute intracranial abnormalities. No evidence of intracranial metastatic disease.

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

Chronic right pleural effusion. Patchy opacity in the left lower lobe has also increased. ___ CXR IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Heterogeneous opacification at the base of the right lung which worsened substantially after ___, has subsequently improved, still accompanied by a small pleural effusion. Time course is consistent with either resolving pneumonia or atelectasis. ___ CXR IMPRESSION: PA and lateral chest compared to ___ through ___: A tortuous but not particularly dilated esophagus retains contrast agent from the preceding swallowing examination. The distal esophagus has a sharp tapering, and could be occluded either by stricture or mass, better evaluated during fluoroscopic observation earlier. There is no pneumonia. A small right pleural effusion or pleural thickening has been present since at least middle of ___. Heart size is normal. Irregular opacification of the lungs suggests severe emphysema, on the right. video swallow exam ___ FINDINGS: This exam was performed in conjunction with the speech and swallow division. Multiple consistencies of barium were administered. There was no evidence of aspiration or penetration. The esophagus was examined, and there was holdup of barium at the distal esophagus with significant residual barium within the esophagus, which eventually passed into the stomach after a few minutes. After more barium was administered, hold up was again seen, which did not pass into the stomach after several minutes. There were multiple tertiary contractions. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of aspiration or penetration. For further details please refer to speech and swallow division note in OMR. 2. Hold up of barium within the distal esophagus, cannot rule out stricture or extrinsic compression of the distal esophagus. Endoscopy recommended. CTA Chest ___ FINDINGS: CT of the thorax: There are multifocal areas of consolidations involving the left upper and lower lobes. Additionally, there is a consolidation or partial lung collapse involving the right lower lobe. There is a stable nonhemorrhagic left pleural effusion. There are prominent bronchovascular bundles raising the concern for lymphatic involvement of the patient's primary malignancy. There is significant dilation of the distal esophagus, the stomach distally is collapsed. CTA thorax: There is atherosclerotic disease of the abdominal aorta. The aorta is normal in caliber throughout the thorax without intramural hematoma or dissection. The pulmonary arteries are opacified to the segmental level. There is no filling defect to suggest pulmonary embolism. Osseous structures:. There are no concerning lytic or sclerotic bony lesions. Although this study is not designed for assessment of the intra-abdominal structures, multiple liver lesions appear stable. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. Significant dilation of the distal esophagus and multifocal opacities involving the left upper and left lower lobe as well as a consolidation or partial collapse of the right lower lobe, finding suggest aspiration. 3. Stable nonhemorrhagic left pleural effusion. 4. Multiple hepatic metastases appear stable. 5. Prominence of the bronchovascular bundles within the lungs raise the question of lymphatic involvement of the patient's primary malignancy. EGD report: Impression: Esophagus was mildly dilated. Otherwise no evidence of mucosal abnormalities, lesions or extrinsic compression. GE junction was wide open and the scope traversed easily. Bluish discolouration and distortion along greater curvature of stomach - may represent varices and/or tumour. Normal mucosa in the duodenum Based on the wide patency of GE junction, there is no indication for esophageal stent insertion and/or Botox injection at the GE junction. There is likely a motility defect.

Mr. ___ is an ___ with PMHx metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and reactive airway disease who presented with subacute worsening dyspnea. CXR and clinical status was consistent with pneumonia. # Respiratory Distress History of worsening dyspnea over several weeks with acute worsening over last few days. Story is most consistent with pneumonia and bronchospasm. Not overloaded and normal BNP so does not appear to be CHF. PE a possibility given current malignancy but does not fit with his history. Treated for CAP/HCAP with vancomycin, levofloxacin, and cefepime. After 5 days of IV antibiotics, CXR showed improvement and his O2 saturations had improved so he was switched to PO cipro for another 6 days. Continued on bronchodilators throughout. Sputum cultures were contaminated with respiratory flora. Blood cultures were negative. Given his history of asthma he was given a 5 day course of prednisone. Based on the fact his pneumonia seemed to be improving yet he continued to have symptoms, he had CTA ___ which showed no PE but did show signs of aspiration as well as concern for lymphangitic spread of cancer. Both of these are likely contributing to his symptoms. In addition his abdominal ascites, which has not been sampled but is presumably due to his metastatic pancreatic cancer, may be causing restriction of his breathing as well. He has obstructive sleep apnea and was continued on CPAP nightly for this. # Esophageal dysmotility: pt had EGD ___ to evaluate possibility of stricture/obstruction/achalasia seen on video swallow eval. LES was patent with no indication for stenting. stomach may have tumor infiltration. he likely has esophageal dysmotility leading to chronic aspiration. He can have a regular diet but should take aspiration precautions such as sitting up when eating, taking small bites and allowing plenty of time for them to pass through his esophagus and stomach. # Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma recently diagnosed, no treatment yet. Dr. ___ I have discussed treatment with him several times during this admission. He is not interested in getting chemotherapy that is only expected to add a few months to his life (chemo would not be curative). He will be treated supportively for symptoms that may arise from his cancer. He currently has ascites which is more than on admission. we discussed a paracentesis for comfort, but the ascites is not currently causing him much discomfort so he deferred. He was seen in consultation by the palliative care team with adjustments to his pain meds (now on MSContin 15 BID and morphine ___ for breakthrough pain). He is aware that he will continue to decline as his cancer progresses but did not feel ready to make plans for hospice yet. He would like to focus on regaining strength and returning home to get his affairs in order. # Constipation Patient was recently admitted for constipation. ON this admission he had days of low ostomy output followed by several large stools. He is on senna and colace daily with several other laxatives PRN. # Depression - continued sertraline and buproprion # Hypothyroidism - continued home levothyroxine # Dispo: [x] Discharge documentation reviewed, pt is stable for discharge. [x] Time spent on discharge activity was greater than 30min. [ ] Time spent on discharge activity was less than 30min. ____________________________________ ___, MD, pager ___

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI THORACIC AND LUMBAR PT6 MR SPINE INDICATION: History: ___ with recent TLIF of L4-L5 and increased wound drainage. Question of infection. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique. Axial T2 imaging was performed. Axial GRE images of the cervical spine were performed. After the uneventful administration of 7 mL of Gadavist contrast agent, additional axial and sagittal T1 images were obtained. COMPARISON: Lumbar spine MRI without contrast from ___. Lumbar spine radiographs from ___. FINDINGS: Localizer sequence demonstrates 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar-type vertebrae. The localizer sequence and sagittal images through the thoracic spine demonstrate a disc herniation extending inferiorly, plus/minus endplate osteophytes, severely narrowing the spinal canal at C6-C7. No axial images through this level. The localizer sequence also demonstrates endplate osteophytes moderately narrowing the spinal canal at C5-C6, without diagnostic sagittal or axial images through this level. THORACIC: No evidence for diskitis, osteomyelitis, epidural collection, or paravertebral collection. Mild anterior wedging of multiple mid thoracic vertebral bodies without marrow edema. No subluxation. No pathologic intrathecal contrast enhancement. The conus medullaris terminates at T12-L1. T1-T2: Small central disc protrusion mildly narrows the spinal canal. T2-T3: Disc bulge and right paracentral disc protrusion mildly narrowing the spinal canal. The right ventral spinal cord is mildly remodeled without cord signal abnormality. T3-T4: Right paracentral disc protrusion remodels the right ventral cord without cord signal abnormality. T4-T5: Small right paracentral disc protrusion approaches the ventral spinal cord without cord signal abnormality. T5-T6: Right far paracentral/foraminal disc protrusion minimally indents the ventral thecal sac and narrows the proximal right neural foramen. T6-T7: A disc bulge minimally indents the ventral thecal sac. T7-T8: Central disc herniation extends superiorly above the disc space to the right of midline, mildly remodeling the right ventral spinal cord. Evaluation of cord signal at this level is limited, and mild T2 hyperintensity cannot be excluded. T8-T9: Central disc herniation mildly indents the ventral thecal sac. T9-T10: Large central disc herniation remodels the ventral spinal cord with mild to moderate spinal canal narrowing. Subtle T2 hyperintensity in the cord cannot be excluded. T10-T11: Minimal disc bulge and mild facet arthropathy without significant spinal canal narrowing. Mild right neural foraminal narrowing. T11-T12, T12-L1: No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. LUMBAR: The patient is status post anterior fusion of L4 and L5 with an intervertebral graft, as well as laminectomies and instrumented posterior fusion of L4 and L5 with bilateral pedicle screws. The hardware is not assessed by MRI. Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 is unchanged compared to the ___ radiographs and the ___ MRI. There is a fluid collection without evidence for rim enhancement extending from the laminectomy beds through a thin midline tract between the posterior paravertebral muscles into the subcutaneous soft tissues. It measures 5.4 cm craniocaudad on image 15:10, and 2.8 cm transverse on image 16:31. The collection has a large area of surface contact with the dorsal thecal sac. There is surrounding contrast enhancement in the posterior paravertebral muscles. The collection mildly to moderately narrows the thecal sac at the level of L5. Left-sided intrathecal nerve roots from mid L5 through S1 levels appear mildly clumped without definite contrast enhancement, compatible with arachnoiditis. L1-L2: Disc bulge and facet arthropathy mildly narrow the thecal sac without mass effect on the intrathecal nerve roots. Mild right and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. This is similar to the prior MRI. L2-L3: Disc bulge, left paracentral disc herniation extending inferiorly, and facet arthropathy are present. Traversing left L3 nerve root is contacted in the subarticular zone. The thecal sac is mildly to moderately narrowed with mild crowding of the intrathecal nerve roots. Moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. This is similar to the prior MRI. L3-L4: Mild disc bulge. Moderate facet arthropathy. No significant spinal canal narrowing. Moderate right neural foraminal narrowing. This is similar to the prior MRI. L4-L5: The disc is uncovered by the grade 1 anterolisthesis. Facet joints are obscured by hardware related artifacts. The above-described collection in the laminectomy beds mildly to moderately narrows the thecal sac. The neural foramina are not optimally assessed due to hardware related artifacts, but appear moderately to severely narrowed with mass effect on the exiting L4 nerve roots, similar to the presurgical MRI. L5-S1: Moderate facet arthropathy. Above-described fluid collection mildly narrows the thecal sac. No high-grade neural foraminal narrowing is seen allowing for hardware related artifacts. Multiple sacral nerve root sleeve diverticula are again noted. OTHER: Apparent 6 mm pulmonary lesion in the right lower lobe on image 12:11. Subcentimeter cystic lesion in the right kidney. IMPRESSION: 1. Fluid collection in the laminectomy beds at L4 and L5, extending into the subcutaneous soft tissues, demonstrates no rim enhancement to suggest superimposed infection, though infection cannot be definitively excluded by MRI. Seroma is most likely, but CSF leak cannot be excluded given the large area of contact with the dorsal thecal sac. Please correlate clinically. 2. The above described fluid collection mildly to moderately narrows the thecal sac from L4-L5 through L5-S1 levels. 3. Mild clumping of the left intrathecal nerve roots from mid L5 through S1 levels, without definite contrast enhancement, compatible with arachnoiditis. 4. L4-L5 neural foraminal narrowing, and degenerative changes at other lumbar levels, are similar to the ___ presurgical MRI. 5. No evidence for thoracic spine infection. 6. Multilevel degenerative changes in the thoracic spine with ventral spinal cord remodeling at multiple levels. Faint T2 hyperintensity in the spinal cord, compatible with subtle edema myelomalacia, cannot definitively be excluded at T7-T8 and T9-T10. 7. Incompletely evaluated apparent severe spinal canal narrowing in the lower cervical spine at C6-C7. 8. 6 mm pulmonary lesion in the right lower lobe. RECOMMENDATION(S): Chest CT.

___ is a ___ y/o male s/p L4-L5 tranforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and laminectomy on ___ with Dr. ___. He was admitted for observation of wound drainage, likely from a seroma. Incisional wound vac was placed overnight. He remains Afebrile, labs not c/w infection, no headaches. Wound vac was discontinued and a mepilex dressing was applied. He is cleared for discharge to home.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Haldol / Zyprexa Zydis / Benzodiazepines Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: altered mental status Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: ___ with NASH cirrhosis, decompensated with encephalopathy and ascites, DM, HL, HTN, normal pressure hydrocephalus admitted for change in mental status. . The patient has recently experienced waxing and waning mental status found to be secondary to normal pressure hydrocephalus. This was initially treated with therapeutic lumbar puncture, but to avoid ongoing problems his Neurologist recently added acetazolamide to his regimen. This was started ___. The patient took two doses, ___ and ___. His wife stopped the medication after these two doses due to worsening mental status. The patient was confused, weak, and exhausted. He was unable to feed himself, although he was able to eat when fed by his family. His gait also worsened, with more shuffling and slowness. He was "confused" which his wife described as being unable to connect and seeming "lost" from the world. He was not incoherent, rambling, agitated, or hallucinating. He also slept ___ hours for 3 nights which is very unusual. On ___ he tried to get out of bed and was unable to get up or lie back down. These symptoms have occurred before in the setting of hepatic encephalopathy. . The patient presented to the ED on ___ for evaluation. CXR and non-contrast head CT were reassuring. Neurology saw him and concluded that this was likely worsening hepatic encephalopathy due to acetazolamide. . Per neurology evaluation ___: Neuro exam significant for inattention, severe, perseveration and both extrapyramidal and frontal components to his motor exam, with asterixis present. There is no evidence of acutely worsened Parkinsonism, and there have been no changes in his Sinemet in quite some time. His troubles correlated with starting Diamox. Diamox is relatively contraindicated in cirrhosis because it causes metabolic alkalosis, which exacerbates hepatic encephalopathy. While he only took 2 doses, and his bicarb is only 20, we suspect this is the explanation for his symptoms. He will likely improve with treatments for hepatic encephalopathy (increased lactulose/rifaximin), and should be followed closely by outpatient liver and neuro physicians to ensure he does improve. . The patient and his wife were offered admission but declined, hoping that stopping the medication would suffice. However, on returning home the patient became more confused. He also had a large watery bowel movement and was unable to control his bowels. They represented to the ED this morning. . In the ED, the patient stared into the distance, did not spontaneously speak, but when prompted was A&Ox3. No alteration of thought process. No asterixis on exam. . On the floor, the patient has no complaints of pain or discomfort. He is awake and alert, oriented x2 (hospital and self). He is not sure why is in the hospital. His wife, who is at the bedside, states that he has not moved his bowels since the large watery movement last night. She did not give his usual Senna. This is not unusual, as he usually has BMs in the afternoon/evening and has not had lactulose so far today. He has urinated several times without pain and has produced clear yellow urine. He has been continent of urine. She states he seems somewhat better, more alert, and was able to eat a full container of grapes without prompting. . A full ROS is otherwise negative.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: History: ___ with s/p VATS todayL wedge biopsy // eval ? pneumothorax, postop changes TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral COMPARISON: ___ at 12:21 FINDINGS: There is a tiny left apical pneumothorax, unchanged from prior. Bilateral upper lobe opacities appear similar to prior. There is increased opacity in the left mid and lower lungs. Stable cardiomediastinal contours. IMPRESSION: Increasing left mid and lower lung opacity could reflect hemorrhage, aspiration infection, or asymmetrical edema. Unchanged small left apical pneumothorax. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the telephone on ___ at 3AM, 2 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST INDICATION: ___ year old man with multiple pulmonary nodules, ___ s/p left VATS wedge bx x2 now w/ SOB and worsening LLL opacity on CXR. Evaluate for PE vs hemothorax. TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast. Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Stationary Acquisition 0.5 s, 1.0 cm; CTDIvol = 0.7 mGy (Body) DLP = 0.7 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 2.0 s, 1.0 cm; CTDIvol = 2.7 mGy (Body) DLP = 2.7 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 8.4 s, 32.3 cm; CTDIvol = 8.7 mGy (Body) DLP = 266.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 276 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT chest of ___. FINDINGS: The aorta and its major branch vessels are patent, with no evidence of stenosis, occlusion, or dissection. There is no evidence of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer or aortic arch atheroma present. Calcifications of the aortic arch are moderate. Tortuous course of the descending thoracic aorta is re- demonstrated. The pulmonary arteries are well opacified to the subsegmental level, with no evidence of filling defect within the main, right, left, lobar, segmental or subsegmental pulmonary arteries. The main and right pulmonary arteries are normal in caliber, and there is no evidence of right heart strain. There is no supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The thyroid gland appears unremarkable. There is no evidence of pericardial effusion. Patient is status post VATS wedge biopsy of the previous left lower lobe masslike lesion. Consolidation involving the left lower lobe is of mixed density, suggesting a combination of pleural effusion and atelectasis in the postoperative setting. The attenuation of the fluid appears simple, but a small component of hemothorax is not excluded (6:135, 190). There is a small left apical pneumothorax. The previously described large lesions in the bilateral upper lobes are irregular and marginated with scattered calcifications, as described in ___ (8b:34) these are grossly stable in size, accounting for differences in slice acquisition and postoperative left lung changes. The right upper lobe lesion measures 4.3 x 2.1 cm (6:60). The airways are patent to the subsegmental level. Limited images of the upper abdomen demonstrate multiple calcified gallstones, as well as atherosclerotic disease involving the origin of the celiac trunk and SMA. Small hiatal hernia is unchanged. No lytic or blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified. Postsurgical changes in the soft tissues of the left chest wall are noted. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism or acute aortic abnormality. 2. Status post VATS wedge biopsy of the previous left lower lobe masslike lesion. Left lower lobe consolidation is of mixed density, indicating pleural effusion and atelectasis. Although attenuation of measurable fluid in the left lower lobe is simple, a small component of hemothorax is not excluded. 3. Small left apical pneumothorax. 4. Bilateral upper lobe lesions are grossly stable in size since ___. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old man with small left apical PNX // f/u on left PNX and effusion IMPRESSION: In comparison to ___ chest radiograph, opacities in the left mid lung have substantially improved. Bilateral upper lobe nodular opacities persist as well as a small left apical pneumothorax. Interval worsening of left retrocardiac opacity, likely due to atelectasis. Note is also made of bilateral pleural effusions.

___ w/ multiple pulmonary nodules s/p left VATS wedge bx x2 on ___ who was discharged on POD1 and re-presented ~6 hours after discharge with acutely worsening shortness of breath. Prior to discharge, patient was breathing comfortably, saturating in the low- to mid-90s on RA at rest, and his ambulatory O2 sat was >90%. CXR post-CT pull on POD1 showed small L apical PTX and atelectasis overlying the spine. When patient re-presented to the ED, CXR showed increasing L mid and lower lung opacity and stable small L apical PTX. Patient was afebrile with normal WBC count (9.6), so there was no clinical evidence that the CXR opacities represented pneumonia. On arrival to the floor, patient was satting mid- to high-90s on 4L NC. Given the acutely worsening SOB, CTA chest was obtained, which showed L effusion and atelectasis, small L apical PTX, and no PE. Patient was given 20mg IV Lasix x1 on ___, and was -1.3L for the day. He was encouraged to ambulate and use IS 10x/hr. He was weaned to RA, O2 sats in low- to mid-90s on RA, and ambulatory O2 sats were >90%. Patient remained afebrile and WBC count downtrended to 8.0 on HD2. Pain was well controlled on PO oxycodone and Tylenol. CXR PA & lateral on HD2 showed markedly improved L mid-lung opacities, minimally improved upper lung opacities, stable small L apical PTX, and small b/l pleural effusions. Given improvement in clinical status and improved CXR, patient was discharged on ___ and will follow up with Dr. ___ on ___.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Penicillins / Erythromycin Base / Demerol Attending: ___ Chief Complaint: Altered mental status Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: ___ female with alcoholic cirrhosis (c/b variceal bleed and ascites), bipolar disorder, urinary retention with recent initiation of clean intermittent catheterization who presented to ED with altered mental status and was found to have E.coli bacteremia. Pt was last hospitalized ___ on the liver service with alcoholic hepatitis, acute kidney injury, altered mental status (due to ___ and hepatic encephalopathy). During that admission, she had failed several voiding trials and was discharged with foley with plans to f/u with urology. She was seen at ___ clinic for f/u. Urodynamic study revealed hyposensitive bladder and she was taught how to self-cath at home. She began to notice that urine was dark and orange and experienced dysuria. Foley was placed in ED that drained frank blood. Hct was 30 on admission and decreased to 23 (baseline ___. She received 2 units PRBCs and 2 units FFP (INR peaked to 2.2). She was also found to be hypotensive to systolic ___ and admitted to ICU where she required ~7liter IV fluid resuscitation, 150g iv albumin, and levophed. Blood cultures x 2 from ___ and urine culture grew pan-sensitive E.coli. She was initially on ceftriaxone, then broadened to cefepime when blood cultures revealed GNR bacteremia, and narrowed to ciprofloxacin. Urology was consulted for hematuria and manually irrigated the foley to release blood clots. Foley is now draining clear urine. Mental status improved with treatment of UTI and with lactulose for hepatic encephalopathy. Past Medical History: -Alcoholic cirrhosis complicated by variceal bleed (first in ___, ascites, no hx of HE -Variceal bleed c/b arrest and multiple resuscitation attempts -Bipolar disorder -Umbilical herniorrhaphy with a primary repair on ___ -Peripheral neuropathy Social History: ___ Family History: Family History: Pertinent for a father who had arthritis.

TECHNIQUE: Supine AP view of the chest. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Lung volumes are low. Heart size is normal. Mediastinal and hilar contours are likely within normal limits. There is crowding of the bronchovascular structures with prominence of the pulmonary vascular markings likely due to a combination of supine positioning and low lung volumes. There is mild bibasilar atelectasis. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax is identified. No acute osseous abnormalities are seen. IMPRESSION: Low lung volumes with bibasilar atelectasis. Radiology Report HISTORY: Fall with blow to the head. TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast MDCT axial images were acquired through the head. Bone reconstructions and coronal and sagittal reformations are provided for review. COMPARISON: No relevant comparisons available. FINDINGS: The study is somewhat limited by motion artifact. There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or major vascular territorial infarct. Prominent ventricles and sulci are more than expected for the patient's age. Basal cisterns are preserved. There is no shift of normally midline structures. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. A small hypoattenuation in the left subinsular region appears chronic and may represent an old lacune. Mild hypoattenuation in the subcortical and periventricular white matter is likely sequelae of chronic microvascular ischemic disease. No calvarial fracture is identified. A non-aggressive appearing expansile lucent lesion at the left calvarial vertex does not transgress the inner or outer tables. It has thickened trabeculation and may be a hemangioma (3:55). The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Slightly motion limited study. No evidence of acute intracranial injury. 2. Global atrophy, more than expected for patient's age. 3. Nonagressive appearing left vertex calvarial lesion may be a hemangioma. Radiology Report HISTORY: Fall yesterday with neck pain and tenderness. TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast MDCT axial images were acquired through the cervical spine. Bone reconstructions and coronal and sagittal reformations are provided for review. COMPARISON: No relevant comparisons available. FINDINGS: There is no acute fracture or malalignment. There is mild degenerative change with a disk osteophyte complex at C5-6 which mildly narrows the spinal canal. Uncovertebral and facet arthropathy at multiple levels mildly-moderately narrow multiple left neural foramina. No paravertebral hematoma is seen. Prevertebral soft tissue thickness is maintained. No nodules are seen in the thyroid gland. The lung apices are clear. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: No acute fracture or malalignment. Radiology Report INDICATION: Liver disease, status post fall. Evaluate for retroperitoneal bleed. COMPARISON: Ultrasounds ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness without oral or intravenous contrast. No intravenous contrast was administered due to patient's renal function. Coronal and sagittal reformations are provided for review. CT ABDOMEN: The visualized lung bases demonstrate mild dependent bibasilar atelectasis. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. Hypoattenuation of the blood pool relative to the cardiac musculature is compatible with anemia. A small hiatal hernia is seen. Evaluation of the intra-abdominal organs is limited without intravenous contrast. The liver is shrunken and nodular compatible with cirrhosis. The gallbladder is distended with large stones as seen on the prior ultrasound. Gallbladder wall edema is nonspecific in the setting of liver disease. The spleen is enlarged measuring 15.7 cm craniocaudally, unchanged. The unenhanced pancreas is unremarkable. The bilateral adrenal glands are normal. There are bilateral extrarenal pelvises. Fullness of the collecting system bilaterally without frank hydronephrosis is likely due to marked bladder distention. The small and large bowel are normal in course and caliber without obstruction. There is small- moderate non-hemorrhagic ascites in the abdomen. There is no free air. There is no retroperitoneal hematoma. The abdominal aorta is of normal caliber throughout. Although limited without IV contrast, there appears to be extensive paraesophageal varices. No pathologically enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes are identified. CT PELVIS: The rectum and sigmoid colon are normal. The bladder is markedly distended leading to fullness of the bilateral renal collecting systems. Air within the bladder may be related to recent instrumentation. Correlate clinically with patient's history. Mild bladder wall thickening may be related to urinary tract infection. The uterus is normal. Free fluid in the pelvis is tracking from the abdomen. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. BONE WINDOWS: There is a nondisplaced fracture of the right posterior 11th rib (2:27) and fractures of the L3 and L4 right transverse processes. No bone finding suspicious for infection or malignancy is seen. Non-aggressive appearing sclerotic foci in the sacrum (2:66) and in the right iliac wing (2:70) likely represent bone islands. IMPRESSION: 1. No retroperitoneal bleed. 2. Marked bladder distention leading to renal pelvic fullness without frank hydronephrosis. If the patient is unable to void, she may benefit from a Foley catheter. 3. Air within the bladder may be due to recent instrumentation if there is history of this. Correlate clinically, especially given patient's urinary tract infection. 4. Acute fractures of the right posterior 11th rib and the L3 and L4 right transverse processes. 5. Cirrhosis with small-moderate non-hemorrhagic ascites, splenomegaly and likely paraesophageal varices. 6. Cholelithiasis. Radiology Report CHEST CT HISTORY: Trauma. History of transverse process fractures and eleventh rib fracture. COMPARISONS: Earlier CT of the abdomen from the same day. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the chest were obtained without intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations were also performed. FINDINGS: The lack of contrast administration is limiting for detection of vascular or solid organ injury. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. There is no pneumothorax. There is no lymphadenopathy. Contours of the great vessels appear within normal limits. The heart is at the upper limits of normal size. Motion artifact obscures evaluation of parenchymal detail in the inferior lower lobes. Slight scarring is present at each lung apex. No focal opacity worrisome for injury is identified. Patchy lower lung opacities are most suggestive of minor atelectasis. Prominence of the paraesophageal soft tissues at the gastroesophageal junction suggests varices. The spleen is enlarged. The liver shows cirrhosis, which can also explain gallbladder wall thickening and ascites. A calcified gallstone is also present. The degree of ascites about the liver is not significantly changed and appears low in density. Increased attenuation and vascularity in the omentum and central mesentery can also be seen with portal hypertension. Persistent mild fullness of each extrarenal collecting system is noted, but substantially decreased. There is a mildly displaced fracture of the right L3 transverse process as well as a non-displaced right posterior eleventh rib. The vertebral body heights and interspaces appear maintained. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for injury not previously elucidated on the earlier CT of the abdomen from the same day. 2. Decreased distention of bilateral extrarenal collecting systems. 3. Cirrhosis with evidence for portal hypertension. Radiology Report INDICATION: Right IJ placement. COMPARISON: Radiograph available from ___. FRONTAL CHEST RADIOGRAPH: A right IJ catheter terminates at the cavoatrial junction. The heart size is top normal. The hilar and mediastinal contours are within normal limits. There is mild pulmonary vascular congestion and interstitial edema. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: Right IJ terminating at the cavoatrial junction. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 4:40 A.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ woman with alcoholic cirrhosis, Gram-negative rod sepsis and hypoxia. Evaluate pulmonary edema. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Heart is smaller and mediastinal veins are no longer distended. Some edema in the right lower lobe has improved and there is no appreciable right pleural effusion, on the left there is still an extensive region of infrahilar consolidation. It should be followed to make sure it is slowly clearing asymmetric edema rather than something focal in the left lower lobe, likely pneumonia or even pulmonary hemorrhage. No pneumothorax. Pleural effusion is small on the left if any. Tip of the right internal jugular line ends nearly 6 cm below the level of the carina and would need to be withdrawn 2 cm to reposition it in the low SVC. Radiology Report AP CHEST 1 P.M. ___ HISTORY: A ___ woman with cirrhosis and gram-negative sepsis, now hypoxic. Suspect pulmonary edema. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Moderate-to-severe pulmonary edema continues to progress with bibasilar predominance. Heart is top normal size. Mediastinal veins are still dilated but improved since ___. Small bilateral pleural effusions are presumed. Displacement of the gastric bubble presumably reflects splenomegaly. Right jugular line ends 5 cm below the level of the carina, would need to be withdrawn 15 mm to be sure it is in the low SVC and not in the upper right atrium. No pneumothorax.

Ms. ___ is ___ with history of Etoh cirrhosis, urinary retention who has been self cathing for the last month who is presenting with altered mental status and foul smelling urine for the last three days found to have pan sensitive E.coli bacteremia. # E.coli bacteremia/sepsis: The patient presented with altered mental status and dysuria, and was found to by hypotensive. She was started on empiric Ceftriaxone out of concern for UTI (see below), which was latered broadened to Cefepime when blood cultures were positive for GNRs; grew out to be E.coli sensitive to Cipro and abx were downgraded. Pt required 7L NS and 150 grams of albumin for volume resucitation, and was later also started on Levophed for pressure support. The patient was weaned off her Levophed and her home lasix and spironolactone have since been restarted. The patient will complete a 14 day course of Cipro. # E.coli UTI: The patient was found to have pansensitive E.coli UTI; ultimately sensitive to Cipro. The patient had been self-cathing herself because she was having urinary retention (see below), and it is thought that this is how she developed her infection. The patient had CT abd/pelvis which showed evidence of renal pelvic fullness, likely due to her urinary retention. # Hematuria: The patient was noted to have gross hematuria; likely that this was multifactorial, which components of urethral trauma due to self-cath, and hemorrhagic cystitis from her UTI in the setting of her coagulapathy. The patient had Foley placed. Urology was consulted due to her hematuria and they suggested manual irrigation of Foley, as there were many clots noted. Her hematuria improved. She will follow up with urology. # Hematocrit drop: The patient was noted to have a crit drop when she first presented. She does have a history of UGIB, but she was not clinically bleeding from GI tract. Presentation was notable for hematuria, as described above. Her coagulopathy was corrected with Vitamin K and FFP, and her crits were trended. She was also given 2U PRBC. # Coagulopathy: The patient had INR of 2.0 and platelets of 54, likely in the setting of her cirrhosis. The patient was given FFP and Vitamin K, as decribed above because she was having crit drops. # urinary retention: The patient's last hospitalization was complicated by urinary retention and she was d/ced home with a foley. She has been seen by the urology as an outpatient and she was started on intermittent self cathing at home. The patient had CT abd/pelvis done in the ED which showed evidence of renal pelvic fullness without any clear evidence of hydronephrosis. Urology was consulted while in house given her hematuria (see above). She will have to follow up with urology as an outpatient. # hyponatremia: The patient was found to be newly hyponatremic to 123 on presentation which improved after getting NS. Was likeyl multifactorial due to diuretic effect as well as decreased PO intake. The patient was fluid restricted and her sodiuum was trended. # toxic metabolic encephalopathy: It is likely that the patient's altered mental status on admission was due to her underlying sepsis. Her mental status improved while her infection was being treated. She was continued on her home lactulose and the patient was having daily bowel movements. # acute renal failure: The patient initially presented with creat bump and CT pelvis with evidence of renal pelvic fullness in the setting of her urinary retention. Etiology likely mixed picture in the setting possible low blood pressures and obstruction. Creat trending down in response to fluids and after Foley being placed. # alcoholic cirrhosis: The patient has history of etoh cirrhosis c/b encephalopathy, UGIB. Currently LFTs are near baseline, Tbili on presentation noted to be 6.1. MELD on admission 28. Once her blood pressures were stabilized, the patient was restarted on spironlactone and Lasix, as well as her propranolol. # bipolar disorder: con't lithium and seroquel # neuropathy: renally dosed gabapentin

He recently had a PCP appointment where his Cr was found to be 4.8, from a baseline 1.5. On the way home from the doctor he stumbled and fell on the sidewalk (outside ___) but was not injured, no LOC. He went home (where he reports having another fall without LOC) and then heard from his PCP the next day informing him of the abnormal labs, at which point he was referred to the ED. He reports normal urine output but says that his urine was darker last week. He says that he has been feeling at his usual state of health recently. He denies headache, vision changes, weakness, new paresthesias, chest pain, shortness of breath, or abdominal pain. he also denies any neck or back pain. On arrival to the ED, initial vitals were 97.3 68 106/61 16 100%. He had a negative FAST exam. There was no gross hydronephrosis or distended bladder on bedside u/s. Urology was consulted and a renal U/S and CT abd/pelvis were obtained. Urology recommended urgent PCN placement and the patient was taken to ___ from the ED before arrival to the floor. Additionally, in the ED his K was noted to be 5.6 (no symptoms, no ECG changes) and he was given kayexolate with repeat K 4.6. Head CT was unremarkable.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: Alcohol abuse with multiple falls. Evaluate for acute intracranial hemorrhage. COMPARISON: CT head from ___. TECHNIQUE: Sequential axial images were acquired through the head without administration of intravenous contrast material. Multiplanar reformats were performed. CTDIvol: 64 mGy. TOTAL DLP: 2051 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, edema, shift of normally midline structures, hydrocephalus, or acute large vascular territorial infarction. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci suggests cortical volume loss. Calcifications are seen along the bilateral carotid siphons. The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. The middle ears are clear. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of bladder cancer, presenting with acute on chronic renal failure. Assess for evidence of hydronephrosis versus other etiology of obstructive uropathy. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: The right kidney is normal in size, measuring 9.2 cm. A 6 mm cyst is seen within the right interpolar region. There is no right-sided hydronephrosis or hydroureter. There has been interval removal of a left-sided nephroureteral stent. There is new left-sided moderate hydronephrosis and full column hydroureter. Debris is seen within the left renal pelvis and proximal ureter. There is an 8.9 x 4.9 cm collection adjacent to the left kidney, seen to be subcapsular in location on the prior CT from ___, likely representing a subcapsular hematoma, not significantly changed in size allowing for differences in modality. The bladder is somewhat collapsed and difficult to assess. Mobile debris is seen within the dependent portion of the bladder. Probable thickening of the left posterior bladder wall correlates to the CT finding seen on this study dated ___, likely corresponding to the patient's known bladder mass. IMPRESSION: 1. New moderate left hydronephrosis and hydroureter. The ureteric dilatation extends from the level of the renal pelvis through its insertion on the bladder. 2. Layering debris within the left renal pelvis and proximal ureter, possibly due to urinary stasis, although correlation with clinical signs/symptoms of pyonephrosis is recommended. 3. Posterior bladder wall thickening, left greater than right, likely corresponding to patient's known bladder mass. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with bladder cancer and new hydronephrosis. Evaluation for stone or other mass causing hydronephrosis. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to recent prior CT of the abdomen and pelvis from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained of the abdomen and pelvis without IV or oral contrast. Reformatted coronal and sagittal images were also reviewed. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: The bases of the lungs are clear. The lack of intravenous contrast somewhat limits assessment of solid organs and intra-abdominal vasculature. Given these limitations, the liver is unremarkable with no evidence of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is normal in appearance. The spleen and bilateral adrenal glands are normal. A 17 mm hypodensity in the head of the pancreas (2:32)is unchanged in size since the most recent prior CT, and is incompletely characterized on this study. No pancreatic duct dilatation is present. The stomach, duodenum and small bowel are normal in course and caliber with no evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. The intra-abdominal loops of large bowel are also normal. The appendix is well visualized in the right lower quadrant and is normal (2:61). Since the prior study, there has been interval removal of a left ureteral stent and decrease in size of resolving left renal subcapsular hematoma (2:42). Mild hydroureteronephrosis with surrounding inflammatory fat stranding and ureteral wall thickening (601B:23, 2:47) is present. The right kidney is unremarkable with no evidence of hydronephrosis. CT PELVIS WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: Sigmoid diverticulosis is present, with no evidence of diverticulitis. Asymmetric left posterior wall thickening of the urinary bladder (2:75) corresponds to the area of known bladder cancer, and likely results in obstruction at the left ureterovesicular junction. Note is also made of a fat fluid level in the bladder lumen compatible with chyluria (2:74). Stranding about the distal left ureter is similar compared to the prior study. There is no pelvic free fluid. No pelvic sidewall or inguinal lymphadenopathy is present. Small fat containing right inguinal hernia is noted. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No lytic or blastic lesion suspicious for malignancy is present. Multilevel degenerative changes are again seen in the lumbar spine. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval removal of the left ureteral stent with new mild left hydroureteronephrosis, likely due to obstruction at the left ureterovesicular junction from known bladder cancer along the posterior left bladder wall. Left ureteral wall thickening and surrounding fat stranding may be due to an underlying infectious or inflammatory process. 2. Interval decrease in size in left subcapsular renal fluid collection, consistent with resolving hematoma. 3. Sigmoid diverticulosis with no evidence of diverticulitis. 4. Cystic lesion in the pancreatic head is unchanged in size since the most recent prior study, and is incompletely characterized on this exam. Followup MRI could be considered for further evaluation. 5. New chyluria, suggestive of injury or obstruction of the lymphatic vessels and communication with the collecting system, possibly due to prior urological intervention. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ y/o male with history of bladder cancer and new left sided hydronephrosis COMPARISON: CT abdomen ___ OPERATORS: Dr. ___, Dr. ___ (fellow) and Dr. ___ ___ (resident). The attending was present and supervising throughout the entire procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of fentanyl and Versed throughout the total intra-service time of 35 min. The patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent ___ party nurse. A total dose of 150 mcg of fentanyl and 3 mg of Versed were used. 1% local lidocaine was also used subcutaneously. FINDINGS: The procedure was discussed in detail with the patient. The risks and benefits were emphasized. Informed written consent was obtained. When the patient arrived in the angiography suite they were placed prone on the procedure table. The left flank was prepped and draped in usual sterile fashion. A preprocedural time out was performed per ___ protocol. Under sonographic guidance a posterior mid pole calyx was identified within the left kidney. A 22 gauge cook needle was then advanced into the collecting system. Under fluoroscopic guidance an 0.018 Nitinol wire was advanced into the renal pelvis. The needle was then exchanged for an Accustick system. The wire was removed and cloudy white urine drained from the catheter. Contrast was administered into the collecting system demonstrating moderate left -sided hydronephrosis and a mild to moderately dilated proximal left ureter. An Amplatz wire was advanced through the Accustick sheath and coiled within the renal pelvis. The Accustick sheath was removed and 8 ___ dilator was used to open the tract over the Amplatz wire. This was followed by successful placement of an 8 ___ nephrostomy tube with the pigtail locked within the renal pelvis. Nephrostogram confirmed the location of the nephrostomy tube. An urine sample was sent to the lab for culture. The catheter was secured to the skin using a suture and flexitract. The catheter was placed to external bag drainage and bandaged according to protocol. The patient left the department in stable condition. No complications. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of an 8 ___ percutaneous left -sided nephrostomy tube.

Stable hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes in comparisons prior PET-CT of ___. 2. Right upper lobe pulmonary nodule measuring 8 mm. This was not definitively seen on the prior examination. Continued surveillance is recommended. 3. Moderate sized bilateral pleural effusions. RECOMMENDATION(S): Updated impression was discussed with ___ M.D. by ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 11:01 am. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with edema/dilation of single loop of small bowel. Increasing abdominal pain and tenderness.// Eval perforation TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph COMPARISON: ___ CT chest FINDINGS: Bilateral pleural effusions remain present with subjacent atelectasis. There is no pneumothorax identified. No evidence of pulmonary edema. The size of the cardiac silhouette is within normal limits. No free air is visualized under the diaphragm. IMPRESSION: No evidence of pneumoperitoneum. Bilateral pleural effusions. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with history of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, in remission following CHOP in ___ was initially admitted to medicine after being found to be inAFib with RVR during outpatient CT scan. Subsequent imaging hasshown aneurysmal dilation and edema of her ileum along withprogressive RP, mesenteric, and pelvic lymphadenopathy concerningfor relapsed lymphoma. Now with new O2 requirement.// evaluate for edema, infection TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral COMPARISON: Multiple prior chest radiographs most recently from ___ CT from ___ FINDINGS: Implantable loop recorder projects over the left chest, stable. Interval increase in opacities at the lung bases bilaterally compared to chest radiograph from ___ likely representing worsening pleural effusions with bibasilar atelectasis. There is evidence of worsening pulmonary vascular congestion without overt pulmonary edema. Cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are unchanged. Right upper lobe pulmonary nodule and mild hilar lymphadenopathy are not definitively appreciated, better evaluated on prior CT chest from ___. IMPRESSION: Worsening bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with history of T cell lymphoma, course c/b afib with RVR.// ?increased size of pleural effusions, pulmonary edema IMPRESSION: Comparison with the study of ___, the cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. Little change in the degree vascular congestion and bilateral pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis, more prominent on the left. No evidence of acute focal pneumonia. The right upper lobe nodule and mild hilar adenopathy were much better evaluated on the CT scan from ___. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: ___ year old woman with new R PICC// R DL Power PICC 38cm ___ ___ Contact name: ___: ___ TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph COMPARISON: Multiple prior chest radiographs most recently from ___ FINDINGS: Interval placement of a right upper extremity PICC line with tip projecting near the mid superior vena cava. Cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are stable. Interval improvement of pulmonary vascular congestion. Stable small right and improved small left pleural effusion. No definite focal consolidation. No pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: Right upper extremity PICC line tip projects near the mid superior vena cava. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with T cell lymphoma with c/f recurrence as abdominal LAD, loop of bowel seen on PET with lymphomatous involvement of small bowel// Please take upright film, eval for signs of bowel obstruction TECHNIQUE: Portable supine abdominal radiograph was obtained. COMPARISON: Multiple prior exams, most recent radiograph dated ___. FINDINGS: Mildly dilated loops of small bowel, measuring up to 4.0 cm. Normal caliber gas and stool-filled large bowel. There is no free intraperitoneal air. Osseous structures are unremarkable. There are no unexplained soft tissue calcifications or radiopaque foreign bodies. IMPRESSION: Mildly dilated loops of small bowel may represent an early small bowel obstruction versus ileus.
