Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: MEDICINE Allergies: ___ (propoxyphene) Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Syncope Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: ___ yo male with h/o HTN, HLD, diabetes, moderate aortic stenosis and ___ who presented with dizziness and an episode where he lost consciousness. His story begins last night, when he was eating dinner with his daughter on his way to visit his wife in rehab. On his way, he felt SOB and hot and diaphoretic. When they checked his blood sugar and blood pressure at rehab, they were wnl. He then went home, and sat down on his bed because he felt lightheaded. He remembers his daughter saying she was going to call ___, but the next thing he remembers, he had vomited all over himself and his daughter says his whole body shook for 5 seconds, with his legs going up in the air. He felt fine after this episode, although he has no recollection of the episode itself. During this time, he had no SOB, no CP, nausea, no palpitations. No belly pain aside from a little bit of gas pain. He had been constipated, but no diarrhea. He endorses not drinking much water generally, and preferring coffee and diet coke. He denies incontinence, tongue biting, or a post ictal state. No changes in vision, hearing, sensation, or motor function. No palpitations. After the aforementioned episode, the patient presented to ___, where he had a head CT and a CTA of the chest/abdomen/pelvis. The latter showed a non-occlusive thromboembolic lesion in the proximal SMA. He was started on a heparin drip and the patient was transferred to ___ for treatment for mesenteric ischemia. At ___, troponins were within normal limits, lactate was slightly elevated at 2.3, and glucose was within normal limits. Creatinine was high at 1.3. The patient does endorse baseline SOB with walking, dizziness when he stands up too quickly, and intermittent chest pain (no radiation or associated diaphoresis/SOB) mostly associated with walking that self resolves. No h/o palpitations. No loss of balance. No dysuria, recent illnesses, or sick contacts. No fevers or chills. No h/o seizures. Only previous episode that may have been like this was when he was ~___ and was digging for clams, and forgot where he was briefly. He does report "slowing down" in the past few years and reports mild R leg swelling in the setting of a recent Achilles' tendon injury. The patient was transferred to ___ due to concern for SMA thrombus and initially was admitted to the vascular service. The vascular team reviewed the imaging and felt that the presentation may have been more consistent with SMA dissection. They recommended keeping the patient NPO and keeping heparin gtt. The patient was transferred to the medicine service for further workup of syncope.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL INDICATION: ? Small thrombus or dissection TECHNIQUE: Gray scale, color, and spectral Doppler evaluation of the abdomen was performed. COMPARISON: Reference CT torso ___. FINDINGS: Grayscale color and spectral Doppler images were obtained of the mesenteric arteries and veins. The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. The superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein are both patent with appropriate direction of flow. The celiac artery is patent with a normal waveform and a peak systolic velocity of 97 cm/sec. Evaluation of the superior mesenteric artery demonstrates a visible narrowing proximally with no hemodynamically significant stenosis (maximal velocities of 190-220 cm/sec.). There was likely a dissection at some point approximately 2-3 cm from the origin of the aorta and some bidirectional flow is identified but no increase in velocity. Flow distally to this area is normal. The peak systolic velocity is 220 centimeters/second which is within the normal range. Celiac artery is also normal in appearance and velocity profile. IMPRESSION: No hemodynamically significant stenosis in either the superior mesenteric artery or celiac artery. There is likely evidence of a prior dissection in the superior mesenteric artery approximately 2-3 cm from the origin of the aorta with demonstration of bidirectional flow. Flow is normal distally to this area and there is no increase in velocity.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to ___ after you had an episode where you lost consciousness, were shaking, and vomited. You first went to ___, where a CT of your head looked normal but a potential blood clot in the vessels going to your bowel was seen on a CT scan. To treat this, you were transferred to our hospital. When you arrived here, you felt fine, and had no abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, or lightheadedness. However, your labs did suggest you were dehydrated, so we started you on fluids delivered through your vein. Meanwhile, the vascular surgery team saw you and suggested we start you on a blood thinner delivered through your vein. Because your blood pressure was low initially, we did not give you your blood pressure medications while you were in the hospital. We also got a picture of your heart called an "Echo," which showed that the valve through which blood flows from your heart to your body is severely narrowed. You should follow up with your cardiologist about this. Finally, we got an ultrasound of the vessels in your belly, which showed a small tear in one of the vessels. To avoid a clot forming within this tear, we started you on a blood thinner called XXX.... You should take this medication every day, and follow up with our vascular surgeons in one month about any further testing and whether you need to continue your blood thinners. You should also start taking your aspirin every day. When you go home, you should make sure to stay hydrated. You should also follow up with your primary care doctor and cardiologist. It was a pleasure taking care of you! Your ___ Team

ACCESS: PIV Pertinent Results: IMAGING ======= CT ___ w/o Contrast (___) impression: 1. Multiple brain lesions with edema suggesting metastases. MRI with contrast is recommended for further evaluation. 2. There is mass effect including left frontoparietal sulcal effacement, partial effacement of the left lateral ventricle and approximately 4 mm of left-to-right midline shift. The basilar cisterns appear patent. MR ___ w/o contrast (___) impression: 1. Multiple predominantly left hemispheric ring-enhancing lesions with varying degrees of surrounding vasogenic edema suggestive of metastatic disease, as above. 2. There is mass effect including partial effacement of the left occipital horn and 6 mm left-to-right midline shift. Chest PA & Lat XRay (___) impression: Essentially complete opacification of the left upper lobe. Given that the trachea is shifted toward the right(opposite side), this is worrisome for a space occupying process such as large consolidation and/or mass, with possibly some underlying atelectasis, but the major factor is space-occupying. CT Chest w/Contrast (___) impression: Large 17 cm left mid and upper lobe mass with areas of central necrosis, mediastinal shift towards the right and invasion into the left upper lobe pulmonary artery and bronchi, highly concerning for malignancy with associated lung collapse. Tissue diagnosis is recommended. PET-CT (___) IMPRESSION: 1. 15.3 x 7.5 cm FDG avid left lung necrotic mass involving the left pulmonary artery. Multiple large FDG avid mediastinal nodes and left supraclavicular nodes are consistent with metastasis. 2. Known left lower renal pole hypoattenuating lesion seen on recent CT from ___ demonstrates increased FDG uptake with SUV max of 10.7. Findings again could represent metastasis or primary renal malignancy. Infection is considered less likely. Multiple FDG avid left para-aortic nodes are concerning for metastasis. 3. Two of the known brain lesions are noted with increased peripheral FDG uptake in the left occipital lobe lesion. Left frontal lobe lesion demonstrates possibly faint peripheral increased FDG uptake as well. Both with central necrosis.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD INDICATION: History: ___ with onset right-sided logic deficits // Intracranial bleed, space-occupying lesion TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without contrast. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.1 cm; CTDIvol = 49.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 802.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is a large hypodense region in the left frontal and parietal lobes with mass effect on the left lateral ventricle, effacement of the left frontoparietal sulci and approximately 4 mm left-to-right midline shift. The left frontoparietal hypodensity is predominantly subcortical with cortical sparing, consistent with vasogenic edema. There is a rounded isointense focus within the high parafalcine left frontal lobe measuring approximately 2.5 cm AP x 2.4 cm TRV x 2.8 cm SI (2:24) as well as a ovoid hyperdense region in the left parietooccipital lobe (2:16), which are suspicious for underlying mass lesions. Additionally, a small ill-defined hypodensity is noted within the right frontal lobe in the region of the gray white interface (2:19). MRI with contrast is recommended for further evaluation, specifically to evaluate for underlying mass lesions/metastatic disease. There is no evidence of hemorrhage, hydrocephalus or infarction. The basilar cisterns are patent. The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are normal. IMPRESSION: 1. Multiple brain lesions with edema suggesting metastases. MRI with contrast is recommended for further evaluation. 2. There is mass effect including left frontoparietal sulcal effacement, partial effacement of the left lateral ventricle and approximately 4 mm of left-to-right midline shift.

NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___ ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 12:41 pm, 10 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR HEAD. INDICATION: ___ year old woman with newly found brain mass on CT. // Addendum aspirating/vasogenic or cytotoxic edema. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After administration of 7 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: Head CT dated ___. FINDINGS: Multiple ring-enhancing lesions are noted bilaterally with surrounding vasogenic edema suggestive of metastatic disease. The largest of these is centered in the left occipital lobe measuring 5.6 cm AP x 3.3 cm TRV x 3.8 cm SI. The second largest ring enhancing, centrally necrotic lesion is noted in the high left frontoparietal region, which measures 3.7 x 2.3 x 2.9 cm with a 6 mm satellite lesion near its superior margin (6:23). Additional smaller ring-enhancing lesions measure 6 x 6 mm at the left insular gray-white junction (10:98),, 1.0 x 1.0 cm in the left frontal lobe (10:95) and 1.5 x 1.6 cm in the anteroinferior left frontal lobe (10:85), and 5 x 6 mm in the right frontal lobe (10:134). There is mass effect with partial effacement of the left lateral ventricle occipital horn, left parieto-occipital sulcal effacement, and approximately 6 mm of left to right midline shift. The basilar cisterns are patent. Punctate focus of restricted diffusion at the superior aspect of the high left parietal mass likely reflects microvascular compromise (25:302). There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or territorial infarction. There is no evidence of hydrocephalus. There is no abnormal enhancement after contrast administration. The orbits and globes appear within normal limits. There are mild ethmoid sinus mucosal inflammatory changes. IMPRESSION: 1. Multiple predominantly left hemispheric ring-enhancing lesions with varying degrees of surrounding vasogenic edema suggestive of metastatic disease, as above. 2. There is mass effect including partial effacement of the left occipital horn and 6 mm left-to-right midline shift. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___ ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 8:42 am, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Chest: Frontal and lateral views INDICATION: History: ___ with c/f metastatic brain disease // rule out lung nodules as primary TECHNIQUE: Chest: Frontal and Lateral COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is essentially complete opacification of the left upper lobe. Given that the midline structures are not shifted to the left, this is worrisome for a space-occupying process such as large consolidation, mass. Associated loculated pleural effusion would not be excluded. No pleural effusion is seen at the costophrenic angles. The cardiac silhouette is enlarged. IMPRESSION: Essentially complete opacification of the left upper lobe. Given that the trachea is shifted toward the right(opposite side), this is worrisome for a space occupying process such as large consolidation and/or mass, with possibly some underlying atelectasis, but the major factor is space-occupying.

Studies: ___ Stress Echo: The patient exercised for 10 minutes 25 seconds according to a ___ protocol ___ METS) reaching a peak heart rate of 110 bpm and a peak blood pressure of 166/60 mmHg. The test was stopped because of fatigue. This level of exercise represents a good exercise tolerance for age. In response to stress, the ECG showed no diagnostic ST-T wave changes (see exercise report for details). The blood pressure response to exercise was normal. There was a blunted heart rate response to stress [beta blockade]. Resting images were acquired at a heart rate of 56 bpm and a blood pressure of 106/60 mmHg. These demonstrated regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with apical aneurysm/mild dyskinesis and severe hypokinesis/akinesis of the distal septum, anterior and inferior walls. The remaining segments contracted wel (LVEF = 35-40 %). Right ventricular free wall motion is normal. There is no pericardial effusion. Doppler demonstrated no aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation or significant mitral regurgitation or resting LVOT gradient. Echo images were acquired within 57 seconds after peak stress at heart rates of 92 - 76 bpm. These demonstrated no new regional wall motion abnormalities. Baseline abnormalities persist with appropriate augmentation of other segments. There was augmentation of right ventricular free wall motion. IMPRESSION: Good functional exercise capacity. Non-specific ECG changes with 2D echocardiographic evidence of prior myocardial infarction (mid-LAD distribution) without inducible ischemia to achieved workload. Blunted heart rate response to physiologic stress. . ___ CXR: Hyperexpanded lungs with increased left lower lobe peribronchial opacities, possible interval aspiration.

It was a pleasure caring for you at ___. You were admitted because you had chest pain that was concerning for a heart attack. We looked at your heart's rhythm (electrocardiogram) and determined that there were no changes from your prior study. We also checked blood levels of chemicals that can sometimes be elevated in heart attacks. You did not have any increase in these chemicals. You underwent a stress test that helps to decide whether or not you will get a cardiac catheterization. There was no abnormality on the stress test, and the probability that your chest pain is due to your heart is very low. You do not need a catheterization at this point. There were no medication changes made during this admission Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of slurred speech resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: Hypertension, prior history of strokes, family history of strokes, and smoking. Of note, you were also found to have a urinary tract infection and we would like you to take an antibiotic called Ciprofloxacin HCl 250 mg twice for one more day. Otherwise we are not making any changes to your medication at this time. However, you were previously told that you should switch to Plavix and we encourage you to discuss this with Dr. ___ neurologist. Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician as listed below. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - Sudden partial or complete loss of vision - Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - Sudden weakness of one side of the body - Sudden drooping of one side of the face - Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body Sincerely, Your ___ Neurology Team

She presented from her rehab facility due to fever to 100.7F. She receives monthly steroids for her myelopathy and initially presented on ___ with lower extremity weakness, difficulty transferring and a recent fall at home. It was felt her exam was at baseline and she was found to have MRSA growing in 1 set of blood cultures drawn on admission. It was unclear whether this set was drawn peripherally or from her port, and subsequent sets were negative. ID was consulted who recommended a 6 week course of vancomycin ___, and recommended changing her port. The surgeon who placed her port (___) was concerned about difficulty replacing it due to her anatomy and it was ultimately left in place with vancomycin locks. She underwent a TEE that showed no vegetation and MR ___ given prior L3-L5 decompression and L4-L5 fusion with screws in place that did not show any fluid collection. In discussion with her outpatient neurologist it was decided to hold her monthly steroid injections during her MRSA treatment. In the ED, initial vitals were: 98.3 88 150/79 18 96% RA. Exam notable for bilateral lower extremity weakness that improved. IV/VI systolic murmur. - Labs notable for: Hgb 7.5, WBC 14, lactate 1.1, Flu negative - Imaging was notable for: retrocardiac opacity, more pronounced on the current examination than on the priors, may be compatible with pneumonia in the appropriate clinical context. - Patient was given: Vancomycin and cefepime Upon arrival to the floor, patient reports feeling completely well.

Cardiomediastinal the heart size is grossly normal. The mediastinal contour is slightly prominent likely reflecting a slightly tortuous thoracic aorta. Bony structures appear intact. IMPRESSION: Bilateral ground-glass opacities noted diffusely most suggestive of pulmonary edema though a component of edema not excluded. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST WITH CONTRAST INDICATION: Mr. ___ is a ___ male with hx of COPD on 3L of home O2, pHTN, valvular disease, dementia, and recent admission for PNA (treated with levofloxacin), who was admitted to the MICU with acute hypoxic failure and fevers, concerning for COPD exacerbation secondary to pneumonia vs pulmonary edema. After broad antibiosis and diuresis, his respiratory status is now stable for the floor. // Eval for PE 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) Spiral Acquisition 2.3 s, 30.9 cm; CTDIvol = 5.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 174.1 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 0.6 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 0.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 0.4 mGy-cm. 3) Stationary Acquisition 2.4 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 3.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 1.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 176 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: HEART AND VASCULATURE: No evidence of a pulmonary arterial embolus. Evaluation of small vessels is limited by motion. The ascending aorta is normal in caliber. Aortic arch is mildly ectatic without evidence of aneurysm. Minimal atherosclerotic calcifications are seen along the descending aorta without evidence of aneurysm or mural thrombus. There is no evidence of aortic dissection. The great arch vessels show normal configuration and caliber. The heart is mildly enlarged. There is no pericardial effusion. AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy is present. No evidence of a mediastinal mass. The esophagus is mildly ectatic. PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. LUNGS/AIRWAYS: The trachea appears patulous, that may relate to tracheobronchomalacia. Mucus impaction is noted in lower lobe bronchi bilateral. There is mild bronchiectasis throughout the lungs. Moderate to severe centrilobular emphysematous changes are present predominantly in the upper and mid lungs. Marked bilateral airspace opacification are noted dependently in the lower lobes as well as to a lesser degree in the dependent aspect of the upper lobes highly suggestive of aspiration/aspiration pneumonia. A cluster of small nodules vs a single lobulated nodule in the right middle lobe (301:139) measures up to 7 mm is most likely infective/inflammatory BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality. ABDOMEN: A 1.4 cm area of low density is identified at the anterior superior aspect of the left hepatic lobe (2:95, 602:41), most likely related to partial volume averaging. Otherwise the included upper abdomen is unremarkable. BONES: No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? Bridging osteophytes are noted throughout the thoracic spine. There is no acute fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary arterial embolism. Evaluation of segmental and subsegmental arterial branches is limited by motion artifact. No thoracic aortic aneurysm, dissection or intramural thrombus. 2. Mucous plugging/aspirate in the lower lobe bronchi with associated marked dependent airspace consolidation predominantly in the lower lobes as well as to a lesser degree in the upper lobes with the distribution highly suggestive of massive aspiration/aspiration pneumonia. 3. Moderate centrilobular emphysema. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ w/ h/o COPD on 3L of home O2, pHTN, valvular disease, dementia, and recent admission for PNA (treated with levofloxacin), who was admitted to the MICU with acute hypoxic respiratory failure and fever, w/ CT findings c/f aspiration PNA. // ? aspiration vs. acute process TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: Diffuse bilateral airspace opacities are again visualized likely reflecting aspiration/pneumonia. This is superimposed on a background of emphysema. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The size of the cardiac silhouette is at the upper limits of normal. IMPRESSION: Diffuse bilateral airspace opacities are not significantly changed when compared to the prior CT chest given differences in technique. These are suspicious for aspiration/pneumonia.

He complains of a chronic cough for the past 2 months, which acutely worsened over the past several days. The patient stated that for ___ days he has had dyspnea at rest that is associated with productive cough. He describes the quality as greenish in nature. In addition, the patient is complaining of worsening BLLE swelling (R>L) for the past several years. He denied fevers/chills, chest pain, orthopnea, PND and palpitations. He denies sick contacts and recent travel. Per family at bedside, the patient refuses to go outside during the winter for fear of falling. They were attempting to convince him to visit his PCP for the worsening BLLE, however, he believed that due to his insurance, he was unable to see his PCP. The patient was transported via EMS to the ED. In the emergency department, he was found to be hypotensive and tachycardic, but was saturating at 100%. His exam was notable for bilateral lower extremity edema and bibasilar crackles. A proBNP was significantly elevated to 6766 and was diuresed with IV Lasix. A chest xray was also concerning for a lobar pneumonia and the patient was started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin. Shortly after receiving IV Lasix, the patient developed hypotension, was given a bolus of fluid and started on levophed. Subsequently, the patient developed afib with RVR. Levophed was held, but the patient had persistent hypotension and tachycardia to 150-170's. Cardiology was consulted, the ED and Cards decided to add esmolol for rate control and continue levophed for pressure management. A CT was also performed with concern for PE. It revealed a PNA, but no evidence of PE. In the ED, initial vitals were: Temp 98.3, HR 112, BP 105/70, RR 18 100% RA - Exam notable for: bilateral crackles, BLLE swelling R>L, systolic murmur. - Labs notable for: BUN/Creat 36/1.5, H/H 10.9/33.7, proBNP 6766, trop plateau at 0.03. - Imaging was notable for: CT: -- Right lower lobe bronchus is focally narrowed secondary to diffuse bronchial wall thickening. Bibasilar right greater than left atelectasis with a right lower lobe bronchopneumonia. No evidence of PE. - Patient was given: -ASA 81mg -Losartan Potassium 50mg -Omeprazole 20mg -Prazosin 2mg -Furosemide 40mg -Ceftriaxone 1gm IV -Azithromycin 500mg IV -Norepinephrine 0.03-0.25mcg -Esmolol 50-150mcg/kg/min Upon arrival to the ICU, patient reports significant symptomatic improvement.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma to brain, s/p XRT, now presenting after seizure. Evaluate for worsening metastases/edema/inflammation in setting of seizure TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After administration of 6 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: ___ brain MRI with and without contrast. ___ limited postcontrast brain MRI. ___ noncontrast head CT. FINDINGS: Postcontrast MP RAGE images are mildly limited by motion artifact. 17 x 18 mm enhancing right paramedian anterior frontal mass has decreased in size, previously 23 x 23 mm (series 10, image 19). Surrounding vasogenic edema has also improved. There is no significant mass effect at this time. A 3 mm cortical focus of enhancement posterior to this lesion noted on the prior examination is not clearly appreciated on the current exam. A 4 mm enhancing focus in the right cerebellar hemisphere is stable compared to the 2 prior MRIs when measured in the same fashion. There is no associated edema. There is no evidence for new enhancing intracranial lesions. Moderately numerous foci of high T2 signal in the periventricular, deep, and subcortical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, without associated enhancement or slow diffusion, are grossly unchanged, nonspecific but likely sequelae of chronic microangiopathy in this age group. Stable prominence of the ventricles and sulci, in keeping with age related involutional changes is again noted. There is no acute infarction and no evidence for new blood products. Principal intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved. Dural venous sinuses enhance appropriately on postcontrast MP-RAGE sequences. Partial opacification of the left mastoid air cells is unchanged. A small T1 hyperintense lesion is again seen in the right parietal bone on images 4:22, 10:22, likely a hemangioma. IMPRESSION: 1. Decreased 17 x 18 mm right frontal lesion and improved surrounding vasogenic edema. 3 mm cortical focus of enhancement posterior to this lesion seen on the prior study is no longer present. 2. 4 mm enhancing lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere is stable without associated edema. 3. No new enhancing intracranial lesions identified.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure caring for you during your admission to ___ ___. You were sent to the ___ from rehab for falls and worsening confusion. You were found to have an elevated level of carbon dioxide in your blood, which was caused by not using your BiPAP machine. Your confusion improved when you were treated with the BIPAP machine. It is very important that you use a BIPAP machine each night to prevent this problem from returning in the future. You can also sleep with your upper body elevated to help with this problem. I have spoken with the company that will deliver your machine. You should hear from them in a couple of days. If you have not heard from them please call: ___ at ___. You have worse swelling in your right leg compared to your left leg. This is probably related to the deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clot that was diagnosed during your stay at rehab. You were started on coumadin to protect you from clots in the future. You have congestive heart failure, for which you received diuresis (water taken off). Please weigh yourself every morning, and call your PCP if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. Your insulin was reduced during your hospitalization because your blood sugars were low. We expect your insulin will need ongoing adjustment after you leave the hospital. Per the urology team the dermabond over the surgical site on your penis will come off naturally over the next few days. You should keep the area clean. Dr. ___ will call you with the results of your biopsy. If you have questions for Dr. ___ can reach him at ___. Best wishes, Your Medicine Team

Denies headache, vertigo, diplopia, change in speech or comprehension, trouble swallowing, weakness, parasthesias or numbness anywhere. In the ED his BPs were 100s systolic and orthostatic VS normal. He was well appearing and symptomatic only when standing. The ED providers were concerned about gait falling to the left and ataxia so consulted Neurology. Cardiology was also consulted to interrogate the pacemaker which was normal. He had a NCHCT and CTA H/N which showed no clear infarct or significant stenosis/occlusion. Labs unremarkable and CXR negative for acute process. On general review of systems, the pt denies recent fever or chills. No night sweats or recent weight loss or gain.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to feelings of dizziness and leaning to the left while walking. You had some tests done, like a CT scan of your head and the blood vessels in the head and neck, which were unremarkable. Based on your neurological examination and the symptoms you had told us, we believe that your balance issues are due to an inner ear problem. This is referred to as a peripheral vestibulopathy. Many things can cause this, we are not sure of the exact one at this time. We do not think this is Meniere's disease. This should improve with time. We had physical therapy see you. You will undergo vestibular physical therapy once you are out of the hospital, this will help your vestibular (inner ear) system which is responsible for your balance recover. Sincerely, Your ___ neurology team

Lung reconstruction algorithm images and axial MIPs were acquired. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___. FINDINGS: A right Port-A-Cath terminates in the distal SVC. There is a moderate-sized loculated right pleural effusion with areas of pleural calcifications noted (2:19). There is geographic right paramediastinal soft tissue density likely reflecting post-radiation changes. Evaluation for underlying neoplasm is limited wihtout IV contrast. Coronary artery calcifications are noted as well as calcifications of the aortic valve. A small pericardial effusion is noted. The heart is otherwise unremarkable. The airways remain patent to the lobar bronchi. Evaluation distal to this is difficult. There is a 4-mm left upper lobe nodule (4:51). No pulmonary nodule corresponding to the density seen on prior chest radiograph. The left lung is otherwise clear. No mediastinal or axillary lymph nodes meeting pathologic criteria are seen.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of slurred speech resulting from an Transient Ischemic Attack, a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is temporarily blocked. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. TIA's can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: -Episodes of low blood pressure causing poor blood circulation to your brain -Being off of Coumadin We are changing your medications as follows: Coumadin 5mg daily - this dose may be readjusted as needed depending on your INR levels. Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please followup with Neurology, vascular surgery, and your primary care physician as listed below. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - sudden partial or complete loss of vision - sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - sudden weakness of one side of the body - sudden drooping of one side of the face - sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body

It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were admitted to the hospital after surgery on your leg. This surgery was done to improve blood flow to your leg. You tolerated the procedure well and are now ready to be discharged from the hospital. Please follow the recommendations below to ensure a speedy and uneventful recovery. Vascular bypass Surgery Discharge Instructions What to except: •It is normal feel tired for ___ weeks after your surgery •It is normal to have leg swelling. Keep your leg elevated as much as possible. This will decrease the swelling. •Your leg will feel tired and sore. This usually passes within a few weeks. •Your incision will be sore, slightly raised, and pink. Any drainage should decrease or stop with in the first 2 weeks. •If you are home, you will likely receive a visit from a Visiting Nurse ___. Members of your health care team will discuss this with you before you go home. Medications: •Before you leave the hospital, you will be given a list of all the medicine you should take at home. If a medication that you normally take is not on the list or a medication that you do not take is on the list please discuss it with the team! •It is very important that you take Aspirin every day! You should never stop this medication before checking with your surgeon Pain Management: •It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following surgery. This pain is often described as “soreness”. •You may take Tylenol (acetaminophen ) as needed for pain. You will also receive a prescription for stronger pain medicine, if the Tylenol doesn’t work, take prescription medicine. •Narcotic pain medication can be very constipating, please also take a stool softner such as Colace. If constipation becomes a problem, your pharmacist can suggest additional over the counter medications. •Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your pain gets to severe. •Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain is getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon. Activity: •Do not drive until your surgeon says it is okay. In general, driving is not allowed until -the staples in your leg have been taken out -your leg feels strong -you have stopped taking pain medication and feel you could respond in an emergency •Walking is good because it helps your muscles get stronger and improves blood flow. Start with short walks. If you can, go a little further each time, letting comfort be your guide. •Try not to go up and downstairs too much in the first weeks. Use stairs only once or twice a day until your incision is fully healed and you are back to your usual strength. •Avoid things that may constrict blood flow or put pressure on your incision, such as tight shoes, socks or knee highs. •Do not take a tub bath or swim until your staples are removed and your wound is healed. •When you sit, keep your leg elevated to reduce swelling. •If swelling in your leg is getting worse, lie down with your leg up on a pillows. If your swelling continues, please call your surgeon. You may be instructed to use special elastic bandages or stockings. •Try not to sit in the same position for a long while. For example, ___ go on a long car ride. •You may go outside. But avoid traveling long distances until you see your surgeon at your next visit. •You may resume sexual activity after your incisions are well healed. Your incision •Your incision may be slightly red around the stitches or staples. This is normal. •It is normal to have a small amount of clear or light red fluid coming from your incision. This will decrease and stop in a few days. If it does not stop, or if you have a lot of fluid coming out., please call your surgeon. •You may shower 48 hours after your surgery. Do not let the shower spray right on the incision, Let the soapy water run over the incision, then rinse. Gently pat the area dry. Do not scrub the incision, Do not apply ointment or lotions to the incision. •You do not need to cover the incision if there is no drainage, If there is a small amount of drainage, put a small sterile gauze or Bandaid over the incison. •It is normal to feel a firm ridge along the incision, This will go away as your wound heals. •Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area for 6 months. This will help keep the scar from becoming discolored. •Over ___ months, your incision will fade and become less prominent. Diet and Bowels •It is normal to have a decreased appetite. Your appetite will return over time. Follow a well-balanced, health healthy diet, without too much salt and fat. •Prescription pain medicine might make you constipated. If needed, you may take a stool softener (such as Colace) or gentle laxative (ask your pharmacist for recommendations). Drinking more fluid may also help. •If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or having pain moving your bowels, call your primary care physician.

You were admitted for occasional wheezing and cough. There was concern for pneumonia but your chest X-ray did not show pneumonia and your symptoms quickly improved with nebulizers. Antibiotics were stopped and you tolerated this just fine. Overall, your presentation is most consistent with a post infectious bronchitis or asthma like syndrome. You were evaluated by speech and language pathology who felt you would benefit from a ground diet with thin liquids to minimize your risks of accidentally inhaling some of your food when you eat (which can predispose to pneumonia and coughing fits). You were deconditioned and had difficulty moving around and physical therapy recommended going to a rehab facility. You did not qualify for acute level rehab and so you and your family elected to go home with maximal services in order to work on getting stronger at home.

Patient states at rehab he had to use the bathroom and called for assistance, but nobody would come to help him. He then called ___. EMS helped him to the restroom. During this interaction he developed sudden-onset moderate chest pain, which he describes as a left-sided heaviness, that then radiated to the right side. This is in the setting of coronary artery disease and is typical for his episodes of angina. He was therefore brought to the ED. Denies any associated shortness of breath, cough, fever, diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting. Denies abdominal pain. Denies dizziness or lightheadedness. Patient states that his typical chest pain will start on the left side. He will often try SL nitro at this point, which most often relieves the pain. However, at times it does not and radiates to the right side and will become squeezing. He states that this happened a lot in ___ and ___, but has been doing better.

Patient continued to have ongoing ___ rated ___ to his lower lumbar spine as well as bilateral lower extremities. He also was endorsing decreased sensation to BLE as well as lumbar spine that had worsened over the past month before initial presentation. Patient noted that he could hardly feel his legs, which led to his presentation for SCS removal. On most recent presentation ___, patient stated that he had been doing well since his discharge on ___, but starting the previous night his ___ started to become increasingly worse, specifically in the lower back and left leg. He said that prior to this, he had no sensation in either lower extremity.

FINDINGS: THORACIC: The patient is status post interval removal of a spinal cord stimulator with posterior bilateral laminectomies and decompressions extending from the level of T8-T9 through T11-T12. Extensive, expected postoperative changes are seen. Additionally, there is a large T1 mildly hyperintense,, T2 hyperintense, minimally peripherally enhancing fluid collection which tracks through the posterior surgical incision, into the decompressive laminectomy site, exerts mass effect on the posterior epidural space. It measures 4 cm in anterior-posterior diameter, and 7.5 cm proximal to distal, 1.5 cm transversely. It abuts posterior epidural space at T9 through T11. This results in near complete effacement of the thecal sac from T9-T11, with severe canal stenosis and moderate cord compression. No definite abnormal cord signal seen at these levels. Similarly, and there is no evidence for abnormal intramedullary enhancement. Throughout the remainder of the visualized thoracic spinal canal, there is epidural lipomatosis which appears similar to the previous examination contributing to moderate central canal narrowing diffusely, and moderate to severe at T5, T6, T7 levels. At T8-9, a slightly right paracentral disc protrusion indents the ventral thecal sac, contacting the ventral cord and deforming it, combining with a posterior epidural fluid collection to result in mild-to-moderate canal stenosis. The thoracic vertebral body bone marrow is normal in signal characteristic. There is kyphosis centered within the mid thoracic spine that is slightly exaggerated. Compression deformities involving the T11 and T12 superior endplates appear chronic in nature. Mild anterior wedging of T7 also appears chronic in nature. Patent foramina. LUMBAR: The patient is status post previous L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies and decompression, with posterior spinal fusion at L1-L2. Extensive postoperative changes are again noted, all of which appears similar dating back to ___. This includes exaggerated lordosis seen at L1-L2 with irregularity of the superior and posterior L2 vertebral body. Intervertebral disc spacers are seen at L1-L2, L3-L4, and L4-L5. There is partial osseous fusion at L3-L4 and near complete fusion at L4-L5. T2 hyperintense, T1 hypointense, nonenhancing fluid collections are seen at multiple levels. A dominant collection is seen surrounding the right L2 pedicle screw with ventral extension and partial encasement of the thecal sac causing mild canal stenosis. This appearance is unchanged dating back to the prior examination. Similarly, smaller T2 hyperintense cystic collections seen posterior to the epidural space at L2-L3 are unchanged. ___ type 2 degenerative endplate changes are prominent at L1-L2 and L2-L3. No suspicious osseous lesion is detected. The conus terminates at L1-L2. Appearance of the thecal sac at L4, L5 level at and nerve roots within it is consistent with acne aditus, stable. T12-L1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. L1-L2: There is mild canal narrowing secondary to compression from the previously described postoperative seroma which extends and partially encases the thecal sac. Otherwise, moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing is unchanged. L2-L3: Posterior disc bulging is noted without appreciable canal stenosis, but with moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing which appears modestly progressed from the previous examination. Minimal L2-L3 anterolisthesis. L3-L4 through L5-S1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis, aside from mild bilateral L5-S1 foraminal narrowing. There is no evidence for abnormal intramedullary, leptomeningeal, or epidural enhancement. There is extensive fatty atrophy of the bilateral paraspinal musculature. A T2 hyperintense right renal cyst is noted. Partially seen is probable left thyroid nodule measuring 2.3 cm, incompletely covered IMPRESSION: 1. Laminectomies T8-9 through T11. Fluid collection at the laminectomy bed extending to the skin surface, with complex appearance, likely postoperative with blood products within it given mildly intrinsic bright T1. Severe central canal narrowing at this level, with cord compression without definite cord signal abnormality. 2. Thoracic epidural lipomatosis, contributing to moderate to severe overall central canal narrowing. 3. L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies, L1-L2 posterior spinal fusion, with extensive postoperative changes. Overall, the lumbar spine alignment and postop appearance has minimally changed dating back to ___. This includes multiple probable postoperative seromas. 4. Background multilevel spondylosis of the lumbar spine, as above, overall mildly progressed from the previous examination. 5. Arachnoiditis in the lumbar spine, stable. Final Report -- ULTRASOUND-GUIDED ASPIRATION --___ COMPARISON: MRI of the lumbar spine from ___. PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of right paravertebral soft tissue collection. OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology trainee and Dr. ___, attending radiologist. Dr. ___ personally supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed per ___ protocol. The patient was placed in a prone 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 aspiration was chosen. The site was marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution. Using continuous sonographic guidance, 18G ___ needle was inserted into the right paravertebral fluid collection, and approximately 40 cc of clear fluid was aspirated with a sample sent for microbiology evaluation. The needle was removed and sterile dressing was applied. The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. SEDATION: No sedation was administered for this procedure. FINDINGS: There is a loculated fluid collection within the soft tissues of the right paravertebral region measuring 4.9 x 4.0 cm. IMPRESSION: Successful US-guided drainage of the right paravertebral soft tissue collection. Samples was sent for microbiology evaluation. ___ 3:30 pm FLUID,OTHER LEFT PARA SPINAL COLLECTON POST-OP.

Throughout the remainder of the visualized thoracic spinal canal, there is epidural lipomatosis which appears similar to the previous examination contributing to moderate central canal narrowing diffusely, and moderate to severe at T5, T6, T7 levels. At T8-9, a slightly right paracentral disc protrusion indents the ventral thecal sac, contacting the ventral cord and deforming it, combining with a posterior epidural fluid collection to result in mild-to-moderate canal stenosis. The thoracic vertebral body bone marrow is normal in signal characteristic. There is kyphosis centered within the mid thoracic spine that is slightly exaggerated. Compression deformities involving the T11 and T12 superior endplates appear chronic in nature. Mild anterior wedging of T7 also appears chronic in nature. Patent foramina. LUMBAR: The patient is status post previous L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies and decompression, with posterior spinal fusion at L1-L2. Extensive postoperative changes are again noted, all of which appears similar dating back to ___. This includes exaggerated lordosis seen at L1-L2 with irregularity of the superior and posterior L2 vertebral body. Intervertebral disc spacers are seen at L1-L2, L3-L4, and L4-L5. There is partial osseous fusion at L3-L4 and near complete fusion at L4-L5. T2 hyperintense, T1 hypointense, nonenhancing fluid collections are seen at multiple levels. A dominant collection is seen surrounding the right L2 pedicle screw with ventral extension and partial encasement of the thecal sac causing mild canal stenosis. This appearance is unchanged dating back to the prior examination. Similarly, smaller T2 hyperintense cystic collections seen posterior to the epidural space at L2-L3 are unchanged. ___ type 2 degenerative endplate changes are prominent at L1-L2 and L2-L3. No suspicious osseous lesion is detected. The conus terminates at L1-L2. Appearance of the thecal sac at L4, L5 level at and nerve roots within it is consistent with acne aditus, stable. T12-L1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. L1-L2: There is mild canal narrowing secondary to compression from the previously described postoperative seroma which extends and partially encases the thecal sac. Otherwise, moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing is unchanged. L2-L3: Posterior disc bulging is noted without appreciable canal stenosis, but with moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing which appears modestly progressed from the previous examination. Minimal L2-L3 anterolisthesis. L3-L4 through L5-S1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis, aside from mild bilateral L5-S1 foraminal narrowing. There is no evidence for abnormal intramedullary, leptomeningeal, or epidural enhancement. There is extensive fatty atrophy of the bilateral paraspinal musculature. A T2 hyperintense right renal cyst is noted. Partially seen is probable left thyroid nodule measuring 2.3 cm, incompletely covered IMPRESSION: 1. Laminectomies T8-9 through T11. Fluid collection at the laminectomy bed extending to the skin surface, with complex appearance, likely postoperative with blood products within it given mildly intrinsic bright T1. Severe central canal narrowing at this level, with cord compression without definite cord signal abnormality. 2. Thoracic epidural lipomatosis, contributing to moderate to severe overall central canal narrowing. 3. L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies, L1-L2 posterior spinal fusion, with extensive postoperative changes. Overall, the lumbar spine alignment and postop appearance has minimally changed dating back to ___. This includes multiple probable postoperative seromas. 4. Background multilevel spondylosis of the lumbar spine, as above, overall mildly progressed from the previous examination. 5. Arachnoiditis in the lumbar spine, stable. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with ___ on the telephone on ___ at 7:06 pm, 15 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: ULTRASOUND-GUIDED ASPIRATION INDICATION: ___ year old man with worsening left lower extremity pain and LBP.// Evaluation of fluid collection. Gram stain and culture.

TECHNIQUE: Upright AP view of the chest. COMPARISON: ___ and ___. FINDINGS: The study is somewhat limited due to patient rotation. Right PICC has been removed. The heart size remains moderately enlarged. The mediastinal and hilar contours are unchanged. Blunting of the right costophrenic angle with right basilar patchy opacity appears unchanged, likely reflecting chronic pleural thickening with associated atelectasis or scarring. Left lung is clear. No new areas of focal consolidation are demonstrated. There is no pneumothorax or new pleural effusion. Chronic left anterior shoulder dislocation is re- demonstrated. Cervical spinal fusion hardware is incompletely visualized. IMPRESSION: Chronic changes within the right lung base with chronic pleural thickening. Chronic anterior dislocation of the left shoulder. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with recurrent seizures, now with change in seizure type and slurred speech. TECHNIQUE: Helically acquired axial CT images through the head were performed without intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone reconstructed images were created and reviewed. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: There is no CT evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage, large mass, mass effect, edema, or hydrocephalus. There is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. The basal cisterns appear patent. Prominent ventricles and sulci suggest age related involutional changes. White matter hypodensity is likely secondary to sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Cavernous carotid calcifications are mild. Extraaxial punctate calcifications are again noted predominantly adjacent to the anterior temporal lobes and within the Sylvian fissures bilaterally. No acute bony abnormality is detected. The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear well aerated. IMPRESSION: No CT evidence for acute intracranial process. Radiology Report PICC LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: IV access needed for antibiotics. The procedure was explained to the patient. A timeout was performed. RADIOLOGIST: Dr. ___, Dr. ___ Dr. ___ the procedure. TECHNIQUE: Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the right brachial vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. Ultrasound images were obtained before and immediately after establishing intravenous access. A 4.5F peel-away sheath was then placed over an 018 guidewire and a single lumen ___ PICC line measuring 30 cm in length was then placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the SVC under fluoroscopic guidance. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a fluoroscopic spot film of the chest. The peel-away sheath and guidewire were then removed. The catheter was secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate complications. IMPRESSION: Ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided single lumen PICC line placement via the right brachial venous approach. Final internal length is 30 cm, with the tip positioned in SVC. The line is ready to use.

Dear. Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking part in your care at ___. You were admitted becaue of low oxygen at home. You needed to have a breathing tube to help you breathe. We found that one of the lobes of your right lung was collapsed, which was most likely a result of aspiration into that area. You were also treated with antibiotics for possible pneumonia and steroids for possible COPD exacerbation contributing to your symptoms. We were able to take the breathing tube out quickly and you were stable on your home oxygen of 4 Liters. We discussed with you, as have prior physicians, that you continue to apsirate will all food types. You wish to continue to eat, and to reduce the risk of aspiration as much as we are able, you can eat liquids that are nectar-thickened and pureed foods. You also had a biopsy of the mass in your left lung as an outpatient, and the results showed cancer. This is most likely lung cancer, and given that you have multiple spots in both lungs, it is advanced. You should talk to your primary care physician after discharge who will refer you to an oncologist. The oncologist will discuss any further imaging that is necessary. They will also discuss how to progress going forward, but we did discuss with you that given your other illnesses, chemotherapy options may be limited. You were seen by physical therapy, who felt you were at your baseline physical activity level and safe to return home with your daughter and physical therapy at home. We wish you the best, Your ___ Team

Has VAP. With left thumb laxity. // ? soft tissue damage / fracture left thumb TECHNIQUE: Left hand three views. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: No fracture or dislocation is detected. There is marked narrowing of first CMC joint, consistent with severe osteoarthritis. This is associated with subluxation at the first CMC joint, which can occur secondary to osteoarthritis. There is mild radial subluxation of the first proximal phalanx with respect to the distal first metacarpal and minimal first MCP spurring. The IP joint is congruent, without gross degenerative change. There is severe diffuse osteopenia. Small focus of lucency seen at distal tuft of the fifth digit noted. Allowing for overlying materials, no radiopaque foreign body detected . Mild soft tissue swelling noted. IMPRESSION: No fracture or dislocation detected involving the left thumb. Severe first CMC osteoarthritis. Associated subluxation can occur due to osteoarthritis. Minimal subluxation at the first MCP joint, of indeterminate acuity. The appearance is compatible with mild laxity of the ulnar collateral ligament. If this represents a site of the patient's new-onset symptoms, this could reflect an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament. Small focus of lucency in the distal tuft of the left small finger distal phalanx. Unless there is focal tenderness in this location, this would likely be accounted for by degenerative changes.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were admitted because of blood in your stool. Because your blood counts were low, you were treated in the intensive care unit and given 4 units of blood. You underwent an upper endoscopy, which showed erosions in the stomach and small intestine, but no active bleeding. You also underwent a colonoscopy, which showed diverticulosis. The exact source of the bleeding was not found. Your bleeding stopped, and your blood counts started to rise again.

Chief Complaint: Shortness of breath Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: -None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ male with HTN who presented with ___ weeks of cough and 6 hours of chest pain associated with post-tussive emesis and shortness of breath. He reports that a few days after ___, he developed nausea, chills, sweats, achiness, and heart palpitations. He has a history of chronic palpitations, but these were more severe than normal and were painful so he had his son bring him to the ED (this was in ___. He was told he had influenza and was started on Tamiflu, benzonatate, and an albuterol inhaler. He felt better within a few days, but he had a dry cough that persisted. He was in ___ and ___ for the following week and a half and they were quite active - walking around the cities, ___, ___, etc. He said with a few of the hills he felt slightly short of breath so he used the inhaler with improvement in his breathing. They came back from the ___ on ___ evening (___). He felt like his dry cough started to worsen again. He woke up ___ with shortness of breath and also noticed pain and swelling in his right shoulder. He went to ___ where they did a RUE US which was negative for DVT. He was discharged with an NSAIDs and plans for orthopedics follow up. His arm is still swollen but the pain is improved since he started taking naproxen. Early this morning (___) he woke up at 2am with substernal, non-radiating chest tightness associated with shortness of breath. The chest pain/shortness of breath lasted from 2am to 10am and resolved spontaneously. It was not associated with activity. He had been watching TV and was sleeping before it started. He has never had chest pain like this in the past - his previous episodes of chest pain were always associated with palpitations. Today in the ED, he was getting ready to go home, thinking that his cough and shortness of breath was likely due to a viral illness. However, he got up from bed, took 3 steps and acutely felt very short of breath and diaphoretic and called for help. He felt better after Duonebs. Throughout all of this (since ___), the dry cough has been persistent and bothersome. He notes that he does tend to have shortness of breath that improves with use of an albuterol MDI in the winter. He thinks he may have some post-nasal drip. His GERD has been well controlled.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to ___ for lower leg swelling and 10 pound weight gain over the past couple of weeks. You were found to have decompensated heart failure, which caused fluid to back up and accumulate in your legs. We gave you furosemide and then torsemide, which were effective in getting rid of that extra fluid. In the hospital, your lab tests showed that you have high glucose levels, and they've been high for some time. You were diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and given insulin here. When you go home, you can take metformin for your diabetes. With metformin, you do not need to monitor your blood glucose levels daily. If you would like to learn more about your diagnosis, there are also many helpful resources at ___ (___). In addition, we found that you had a urinary tract infection, which we treated with antibiotics. You also had low iron levels, which caused anemia, and we gave you iron supplements. When you go home, you will be started on several medications: torsemide 30mg once a day for your heart (increased from your original dose), metformin 1000mg once a day for diabetes, Augmentin 875mg twice a day for the urinary tract infection (last day ___, and iron supplements.

Day 0 was on ___. She is currently undergoing brentuximab maintenance (last ___ dose on ___ now presenting with a few day history of occipital HAs now with two days of fevers and a progressively developing papular rash of the face and anterior chest with a patchy rash on the RLE. Past Medical History: PAST ONCOLOGIC HISTORY (updated from most recent outpatient oncology note on ___: Pt was diagnosed with stage IIIB nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease in ___. At that time, she was noted for large necrotic splenic mass with 4 cm retroperitoneal adenopathy. She had fevers, night sweats and a 20-pound weight loss at that time. Chest CT showed a small left pleural effusion. PET scan was positive in the left supraclavicular and internal mammary nodes, spleen, retroperitoneum and upper abdominal nodes as well as the left lung base. Bone marrow biopsy was negative. She underwent FNA of lymph nodes as well as core biopsy, which showed the diagnosis of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma. She received ABVD chemotherapy for six cycles from ___ to ___. Followup imaging remained negative. Over the past ___, Ms. ___ reports having issues with a tooth infection around the same time she had also travel to ___ and developed a rash, which was initially felt to be scabies or other parasites and then was identified as a folliculitis. The tooth infection was on her right side, but she also was noting an enlarged left-sided cervical lymph node. She lost 40 pounds over the summer months and was not feeling well, but when she finally was able to have her tooth pulled, her feelings of malaise improved and she was back eating without issues. She denied any specific fevers or chills. She had no night sweats. She did have itching from her rash, but she always has some itching. She has had a sense of allergic history. In ___, Ms. ___ was due for her usual followup and was noted for an enlarged submandibular lymph node on the left. She underwent PET imaging on ___ which showed multistation FDG-avid lymphadenopathy within the left neck, mediastinum and retroperitoneum, SUV max of 8.3 and the higest in the neck, 7.2-7.3 in the mediastinum and 5.1 in the abdomen. There was noted macronodular contour of the liver which may represent cirrhosis.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST RADIOGRAPHS INDICATION: Status post bone marrow transplant for Hodgkin's lymphoma, presenting with fever. TECHNIQUE: Chest, PA and lateral P COMPARISON: Chest CT dated ___. FINDINGS: Port-A-Cath terminates in lower superior vena cava. The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours appear stable. The right hemidiaphragm is again elevated. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The lungs appear clear. There has been no significant change. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECKMRI of the head with and without contrast.MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECK INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hodgkins // eval for etiology left occiptal neuralgia TECHNIQUE: MRI of the brain is performed and includes the following sequences: sagittal T1-weighted, axial fast spin echo T2-weighted, axial FLAIR, axial diffusion weighted and axial gradient echo images. The T1 weighted images were repeated after the administration of intravenous gadolinium contrast, sagittal MPRAGE and multiplanar reconstructions were also obtained. MRA of the head. 3D time arteriography of the head vessels was obtained, axial source images and maximal intensity projection images were reviewed. COMPARISON: No prior examinations of the head are available. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, mass effect or shifting of the normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are slightly prominent, suggesting cortical volume loss, probably age related and involutional in nature. Multiple scattered foci of high signal intensity are identified on T2 and FLAIR sequences, distributed in the pons, subcortical and periventricular white matter, which are nonspecific and may reflect changes due to small vessel disease. No diffusion abnormalities are detected. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement to suggest leptomeningeal disease. The major vascular flow voids are present and demonstrate normal distribution. The orbits are unremarkable, the paranasal sinuses are clear, minimal mucosal thickening is noted at the tip of the mastoid air cells bilaterally. MRI Brain: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. The ventricles and basal cisterns appear normal. There is no evidence of acute infarct based on diffusion-weighted imaging. There are normal vascular flow voids. There is diffuse brain parenchymal volume loss. There are punctate and confluent areas of subcortical T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensity which are nonspecific though presumably relate to sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is no abnormal brain parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement. The orbits and mastoid air cells are unremarkable. There is a right maxillary sinus mucosal retention cyst. MRA neck: The common, internal and external carotid arteries appear normal. There is no evidence of internal carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria. The subclavian arteries in the origins of the common carotid arteries appear normal. The origin of the right vertebral artery is not well seen which is commonly artifact although stenosis is not excluded IMPRESSION: There is no evidence of acute intracranial process. Scattered foci of high signal intensity detected on FLAIR and T2 weighted images, distributed in the subcortical and periventricular white matter, are nonspecific and may reflect changes due to small vessel disease.There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement. 1. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, or acute infarct. 2. Brain parenchymal volume loss and probable sequelae of chronic microangiopathy. 3. No evidence of stenosis, dissection, or occlusion within the vasculature of the neck.

Ms. ___, You were admitted because you had left side pain in the back of your head and thighs. We were concerned about shingles due to the type of pain you were having and the appearance of some rashes on those regions. We did further biospy of the rash and found out that this pain may be related to your chemotherapy brentuximab. We were also concerned about the diarrhea you had during your admission but this has seemed to resolve. We also thought that the diarrhea may be related to your chemotherapy in concert with other medications you are taking. We consulted with neurology about your symptoms and it would be best if you follow up with an outpatient neurology provider for further assessment and management of this pain. We discussed with you taking neurontin, lyrica or receiving injections to help alleviate your pain and you did not want to do this at this time. We completed further imaging of your head and neck today and your outpatient provider, Dr. ___ follow up with you regarding the results. It was a pleasure taking care of you. Do not hesistate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your care. Please refer to below for follow up appointments with your outpatient provider.

Dear Ms. ___, You presented to ___ on ___ after suffering a motor vehicle collision. You were found to have a rib fracture, left lung puncture, a right hip fracture and a left radius fracture. You were admitted to the Trauma/Acute Care Surgery team for further medical treatment. On admission, you were noted to have seizure activity and Neurology was consulted. You were started on Keppra and it is recommended you continue to take this medication for at least the next 6 (six) months. Please do NOT drive for six months. You have a follow-up appointment scheduled with the outpatient Neurology clinic. You were evaluated by the Orthopaedics and Plastics teams. On ___, you were taken to the Operating Room and underwent surgery for your right hip fracture. On ___, you had surgery to repair your left radius fracture. You tolerated these procedures well. You have worked with Physical and Occupational Therapy who recommend your discharge to rehab. You are tolerating a regular diet and your pain is controlled. You are now medically cleared to be discharged to rehab to continue your recovery. Please note the following discharge instructions: * Your injury caused a left rib fracture which can cause severe pain and subsequently cause you to take shallow breaths because of the pain. * You should take your pain medication as directed to stay ahead of the pain otherwise you won't be able to take deep breaths. If the pain medication is too sedating take half the dose and notify your physician. * Pneumonia is a complication of rib fractures. In order to decrease your risk you must use your incentive spirometer 4 times every hour while awake. This will help expand the small airways in your lungs and assist in coughing up secretions that pool in the lungs. * You will be more comfortable if you use a cough pillow to hold against your chest and guard your rib cage while coughing and deep breathing. * Symptomatic relief with ice packs or heating pads for short periods may ease the pain. * Narcotic pain medication can cause constipation therefore you should take a stool softener twice daily and increase your fluid and fiber intake if possible. * Do NOT smoke * If your doctor allows, non-steroidal ___ drugs are very effective in controlling pain ( ie, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Naprosyn) but they have their own set of side effects so make sure your doctor approves. * Return to the Emergency Room right away for any acute shortness of breath, increased pain or crackling sensation around your ribs (crepitus). Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner or return to the Emergency Department for any of the following: *You experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or tightness. *New or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or wheeze. *If you are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids or your medications. *You are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea, or other reasons. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing. *You see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a bowel movement. *You experience burning when you urinate, have blood in your urine, or experience a discharge. *Your pain in not improving within ___ hours or is not gone within 24 hours. Call or return immediately if your pain is getting worse or changes location or moving to your chest or back. *You have shaking chills, or fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius. *Any change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern you. Please resume all regular home medications, unless specifically advised not to take a particular medication. Also, please take any new medications as prescribed. Please get plenty of rest, continue to ambulate several times per day, and drink adequate amounts of fluids. Avoid lifting weights greater than ___ lbs until you follow-up with your surgeon. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking pain medications. Incision Care: *Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have increased pain, swelling, redness, or drainage from the incision site. *Avoid swimming and baths until your follow-up appointment. *You may shower, and wash surgical incisions with a mild soap and warm water. Gently pat the area dry. *If you have staples, they will be removed at your follow-up appointment. *If you have steri-strips, they will fall off on their own. Please remove any remaining strips ___ days after surgery.

PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The left chest and left abdomen were 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 54 cm tip-to-cuff length ___ dual lumen catheter was selected and trimmed to the appropriate length. 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.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to ___ worsening shortness of breath. WHAT HAPPENED DURING YOUR HOSPITAL STAY? ========================================== - You were given medications to help you breath (nebulizers), antibiotics due to initial concern for infection, and diuretics to help you urinate. - You were placed on a mask to help you breath. Lab tests showed signs of heart dysfunction and an echo/ultrasound showed that your heart was not pumping well. You were observed in the cardiac intensive care unit overnight. - Once your breathing improved with nebulizers and diuretics, you were taken for a cardiac catheterization to evaluate the vessels of the heart. Ultimately, there was mild to moderate narrowing, but not enough to explain the changes. We believe you have "stress induced cardiomyopathy" which can be treated with medications. - You were started medications to help your heart as well as a blood thinner called Coumadin to help prevent strokes from this heart dysfunction in the future. - Once you were deemed stable on your new regimen you were discharged. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO FOLLOWING DISCHARGE? ========================================= - You should take all of your medications as prescribed. -- You should give yourself the Enoxaparin injections once a day, until you are told to stop (once Coumadin levels are appropriate). - You should get blood draws to confirm Coumadin levels are appropriate. These can be done at the ___ ___. Please get your blood drawn next on ___. - You should attend appointments with your PCP and cardiologist, scheduled below. It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospital stay. If you have any questions about the care you received, please do not hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Your Inpatient ___ Cardiology Team

The pancreas appears normal. The spleen is normal in size and appearance. Each adrenal is again mildly thickened. There is no evidence for stones or hydronephrosis involving either kidney. Renal cysts are identified in the left kidney that appear simple and benign. Nearly the whole stomach is in the chest. Short segment of the transverse colon also herniates into the chest without obstruction. This visualized small bowel is unremarkable. There is no ascites or lymphadenopathy. There are no suspicious bone lesions. Bones appear demineralized. Mild compression deformity of the L3 vertebral body appears unchanged. IMPRESSION: Chest is reported separately. No significant abnormality involving the abdomen. ------ ___ CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST ----- FINDINGS: Tracheostomy terminates shortly above the carina. Feeding tube terminates in a large hiatal hernia. Heart is mildly enlarged with mild coronary artery calcification. Patchy calcification is also found along the aortic valve. Thoracic aorta is normal in caliber and mildly calcified. Central pulmonary arteries are mildly calcified. There is no lymphadenopathy in the chest. There is no pericardial effusion. Trace pleural effusions are found bilaterally. This study shows a large hiatal hernia containing essentially the entire stomach with an air contrast level. The hernia appears somewhat less distended, although mostly full. The transverse colon enters and exits the hernia sac without obstruction, as before. Increased opacities in each lower lobe may be due to atelectasis or pneumonia. More extensive in the left lung than right are patchy new consolidations, not exclusively dependent. These areas suggest active pneumonia. Ground-glass opacities in the upper lobes have increased and are less specific; these could be seen with the mild pulmonary edema or could accompany a more widespread infectious process. Regional bronchiectasis is very similar in the left upper lobe. The right mainstem bronchus some most fully collapses, more so than the left, which suggests malacia. The abdomen is reported separately. Bones appear demineralized. There are no suspicious bone lesions. Prior bilateral rib fractures appear unchanged. Moderate to severe compression fracture of the T10 vertebral body appears unchanged. IMPRESSION: 1. Large hiatal hernia containing the whole stomach and a contrast fluid level. Less distention than before, however. Similar nonobstructed transverse colon within the hernia. 2. New moderately extensive multifocal opacities, left greater than right, suggesting pneumonia, possibly due to aspiration as an etiology. 3. Ground-glass opacities in the upper lobes, edema versus infection. 4. Suspected bronchomalacia. ___ EGD - Esophageal hiatal hernia - Gastric ulcer - Normal mucousa in the whole examined duodenum - Whorled mucousa at level of distal body/antrum with turn consistent with hiated, inverted stomach. We were able to traverse the area easily with a pediatric gastroscope.

Dear ___, ___ was pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were initially admitted to the ICU for treatment of your small bowel obstruciton (SBO) and very elevated blood pressure. You underwent a surgical operation to relieve your SBO, and you tolerated this procedure well. You were able to eat and drink and have normal bowel movements prior to discharge. While you were having your SBO, you also developed some acute decrease in your kidney function. This gradually improved as your condition improved. You were found to have an infection in your belly called peritonitis. For this you are on treatment with two antibiotics, one called ciprofloxacin and one called flagyl. You will take ciprofloxacin twice a day for 4 more days, then daily ongoing. You will take flagyl three times per day for 4 more days, then stop. For treatment of your very elevated blood pressure you required high doses of IV blood pressure medications. Your blood pressure gradually decreased. You were transitioned to oral blood pressure medicaitons prior to discharge. It appears that you have very elevated blood pressure at baseline, and your blood pressure was at your baseline prior to discharge. Please continue to take these blood pressure medications after you are discharged from the hospital. Also, please discuss with your PCP if you require any additional work-up of your high blood pressure as an outpatient. Despite your elevated blood pressure, you did not have any symptoms. If you develop symptoms of headache, vision changes, or any other symptoms that concern you while your blood pressure is very elevated, please return to the Emergency Department immediately. For your cryoglobulinemia you were evaluated by the phresis team. They felt that you would benefit from phresis treatments. A large dialysis line was placed in your neck vein, and you were started on phresis. You will need to follow up with your renal doctors to determine if you need any additional treatments after discharge. Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA chest INDICATION: ___ woman presenting with chest pain radiating to the back. Evaluate for pulmonary embolus. 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: Total DLP (Body) = 580 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CTA chest dated ___. FINDINGS: The study is markedly limited by respiratory and cardiac motion artifact as well as streak artifact. The heart is mildly enlarged. The aorta and its major branch vessels are patent, with no evidence of stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysmal formation. The patient is status-post CABG. The central and lobar pulmonary arteries are well opacified bilaterally without filling defect to suggest pulmonary embolism. More distal branches including the segmental and subsegmental branches particularly on the right are limited by respiratory and cardiac motion artifact. The main and right pulmonary arteries are normal in caliber. A prominent right lower paratracheal station lymph node retains its normal fatty hilum and is similar to the prior exam (series 3, image 67). No supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The thyroid is heterogeneous with several mixed density nodules on the right, one measuring at least 2 cm in size. There is no evidence of pericardial effusion. There is no pleural effusion. Detailed evaluation of the parenchyma is limited by respiratory and cardiac motion artifact. There is an oblong 4 x 8 mm nodule in the right upper lobe (3:70), unchanged since ___. An additional 3 mm lingular nodule (03:106) is also unchanged. Other than bibasilar atelectasis, no suspicious pulmonary nodule is identified. The airways are patent to the subsegmental level. Limited images of the upper abdomen are unremarkable other than a small hiatal hernia. No lytic or blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Motion-limited study. No evidence of an acute central pulmonary embolus or an acute aortic abnormality. 2. A 4 x 8-mm nodule in the right upper lobe is stable since ___, but does not yet demonstrate over ___ years of stability. Therefore, an ___ follow-up chest CT is suggested. 3.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a privilege taking care of you at ___ ___. WHY WAS I ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL? =================================== -Bloody diarrhea and bloody vomit WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL? ========================================== - You were given blood through a transfusion while you were in the ICU because your red blood cell counts were low. - Our gastroenterology team did an imaging study where they looked inside your stomach with a camera to look for a source of bleeding. During that procedure an ulcer was found in your duodenum, which was likely the source of the bleeding and stomach pain. You were started on a medication called Pantoprazole to reduce the acid production in your stomach, which should help the ulcer heal. You were also started on another medication to help the ulcer heal, called sucralfate. - Your blood sugar was very elevated on admission (over 900). We started you on an insulin drip to bring down the sugar and ketones in your blood while you were on the intensive care unit. When you left the ICU, you were seen by the diabetes specialist team who started you on a new insulin regimen for better blood sugar control. - Due to the pain you were having in your stomach, we started you on a pain control regimen with acetaminophen and Oxycodone. - You were found to have a large clot in your iliac and femoral veins. You were started on an increased dose of the blood thinner you were on before your GI bleed, called Apixaban. WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER I LEAVE THE HOSPITAL? ============================================ - Please continue to take all your medications and follow up with your doctors at your ___ appointments. - Please take the new insulin regimen prescribed to you by our diabetes team - Please take your increased dose of apixaban (10mg twice a day) until the end of the day on ___. At this point you will be transitioned to a lower dose (5mg twice a day) We wish you all the best! Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

She was started on Dilantin at that time. She never lost awareness during these episodes. She reports that she is aware of the surroundings and can hear voices, was unable to speak. In ___, she was reportedly at an outside hospital delivering a baby, and developed a new type of seizure-like episode with right upper extremity shaking as well. After the delivery, her Dilantin was increased as well as Keppra being added to her regimen. She did have an LTM admission here in ___. EEGs showed multiple stereotyped awakenings from sleep with posturing of bilateral hands, with right upper extremity stiffening and left arm rubbing her nose. This was associated with tachycardia and sometimes bradycardia with occasional pauses, but no clear electrographic correlate. Due to this, she had an implantable loop recorder placed prior to discharge. MRI at this time showed a left temporal flair hyperintensity, concerning for either a neuronal migratory defect or gliosis. Since her discharge in ___, she continued to report nocturnal seizures and her Keppra was increased to 1500 mg in the morning and 2250 mg at night. Her oxcarbazepine was also increased to 600 mg in the morning and then 900 mg at night. In terms of possible provoking factors, she reports that since 4 nights ago, members of her extended family had visited her at home and have been holding late night parties. Previously she had been sleeping about 12 hours per day, but now sleeping more like 6. In addition, she has had 2 of her children the sick over the past several days, and she has developed a new left maxillary sinus pressure. She denies any fevers or chills or signs or symptoms of infection including urinary tract infection. She reports being compliant with medications, though according to her primary epileptologist, she has had issues with medication adherence in the past.

Dear ___, You were hospitalized because you had greatly increased seizure frequency at home. This was likely caused by a combination of your recent lack of sleep, your pregnancy, and a urinary tract infection. Keppra was increased to 2250 mg twice a day. Tripleptal was increased to 900 mg in the morning and 1200 mg at night. You were seen to have multiple seizures overnight that was recorded on the EEG monitor. We strongly encouraged you to stay in the hospital for another night for seizure monitoring while we are adjusting your medication. Risks of undertreated seizures include prolonged seizures, which can lead to breathing or heart problems, and sometimes death (Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients). You understood the risks of going home, despite our advice that you stay for optimization of your seizure control. Please come back to the hospital or go to the nearest ED if you experience more than your typical seizures per day. As you know, please avoid any activities that could be dangerous if you were to have a seizure during them including but not limited to swimming alone, cooking near a hot stove, operating heavy machinery, driving for 6 months from most recent seizure as per ___ law. Sincerely, Your ___ neurology team
