Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: altered mental status major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 79 year-old right-handed man with a past medical history significant for alzheimer's disease, hypercholesterolemia, and hypothyroidism who was found at around 4:30pm this evening to be behaving oddly. though he has moderate alzheimer's at baseline he clearly was acting differently. he was clearly more agitated. he was found at one point in the bathroom folding and unfolding towels. he did this with a napkin and a handkerchief as well. he was much more fidgety than normal. the patient's wife called her daughter who phoned their neurologist. a decision was made to call ems and have the patient brought to hospital. blood pressure there was 149/78 there a ct scan showed a right frontal hemorrhage. the white blood cell count was slightly elevated at 10.8. the patient was transferred here for neurosurgical intervention. past medical history: hypothyroidism hypercholesterolemia alzheimer's dementia social history: lives with wife. a daughter in neighborhood. smoking or

hemorrhage, measuring approximately 5.5 cm x 5 cm, not significantly changed in size from three hours prior. this lesion demonstrates mostly t2 hyperintensity and t1 isointensity, compatible with an acute hemorrhage. there is associated mass effect on the frontal of the right lateral ventricle with mild subfalcine herniation, not significantly changed. additionally, a moderate amount of layering intraventricular hemorrhage within the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles is stable. thre is no evidence of hydrocephalus. on gradient-echo sequences, scattered punctate foci of susceptibility are seen within the sulci, likely reflecting blood products from a small amount of associated subarachnoid hemorrhage. no definite enhancement is seen within the right frontal region to suggest a large mass or vascular malformation. however, given the relatively large size of this, assessment is somewhat limited. additionally, there is no evidence of an acute infarct within any particular vascular territory. no convincing evidence of amyloid angiopathy is identified. minimal mucosal thickening of the ethmoidal sinuses is seen. no abnormal enhancement is identified after contrast administration. impression: 1. large right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, with associated subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage. overall size and appearance is largely unchanged from three hours prior. 2. mild leftward subfalcine herniation and effacement of the right frontal and lateral ventricle is not changed. 3. no definite evidence of underlying mass, vascular malformation, or infarct. no convincing evidence of amyloid angiopathy. however, due to the large size of this hemorrhage, assessment is limited for an underlying lesion, and a followup study after resolution of acute symptoms is recommended to exclude any underlying mass or vascular malformation. ct again is noted a large right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, slightly larger than the study conducted at 3:00 a.m. this morning. there is associated subarachnoid hemorrhage, comparable to the prior study. unchanged bilateral intraventricular extension is again noted. there is extensive vasogenic edema surrounding the hemorrhage causing mass effect and effacement of the frontal and occipital horns of the lateral ventricle. there is a 4.9 mm leftward subfalcine herniation compared to prior 4.4 mm. there is no uncal or downward transtentorial herniation. there is diffuse global atrophy, unchanged. there are no acute major vascular territorial infarcts or obvious masses. there is no hydrocephalus. no other interval changes are noted. impression: 1. slight interval increase in the right frontal intraparenchymal and bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage. 2. stable intraventricular hemorrhage and minimal leftward subfalcine herniation. ct again is noted a large right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, slightly larger than the study conducted at 3:00 a.m. this morning. there is associated subarachnoid hemorrhage, comparable to the prior study. unchanged bilateral intraventricular extension is again noted. there is extensive vasogenic edema surrounding the hemorrhage causing mass effect and effacement of the frontal and occipital horns of the lateral ventricle. there is a 4.9 mm leftward subfalcine herniation compared to prior 4.4 mm. there is no uncal or downward

are noted. impression: 1. slight interval increase in the right frontal intraparenchymal and bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage. 2. stable intraventricular hemorrhage and minimal leftward subfalcine herniation. ct the large right intraparenchymal hemorrhage with associated edema, mass effect and effacement of the right frontal of the lateral ventricle have shown expected evolution from prior study without any evidence of new hemorrhage or infarct. the 4-mm leftward midline shift is unchanged. the diffuse subarachnoid blood within the cortical sulci is similar, although the confluent area in the left parietal lobe is less apparent. there is slightly less blood within the occipital horns of lateral ventricles than on prior. the mild ventriculomegaly and dilated temporal horns is similar to prior. there is new opacification of the left sphenoid sinus. the mastoid air cells are normal. there are no fractures. impression: 1. expected evolution of right intraparenchymal hemorrhage and diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular blood without evidence of new infarct or intracranial hemorrhage. 2. persistent midline shift. 3. no change in the mild ventriculomegaly. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the icu. neurosurgery was consulted but no intervention. repeat ct next day no interval change. exam remained poor. transferred to floor. patient became febrile, no focus found, cxr read as possible infiltrate around l hemidiaphragm but no change after 3 days of abx, no white count, no labored breathing so likely central fever. exam remained extremely poor and patient deteriorated slowly over 9 day stay, despite stable vital signs and only mild fever, with no evidence of systemic infection. eeg negative for seizures, did show mild to moderate encephalopathy, consistent with exam. 3rd ct scan on showed further blossoming of r parietal contusion, entrapment of ventricles with balooning, large r frontal evolution of bleed. towards the 2nd half of hospitalization, daily conversations were held with family. grim prognosis was stressed, given age, extensive frontal lobe involvement, deterioration during hospital stay, and perhaps most importantly his pre-morbid advanced dementia. the patient has expressed clearly that he wanted no supportive measures in absence of a meaningful life, and the family has respected his wishes after the prognosis became more evident over time. first they chose not to give him a peg tube, and with continued lack of recovery quite understandingbly made him cmo. medications on admission: asa 81 qd

pleural effusions and left lower lobe consolidation which may represent pneumonia. 3. incidentally noted moderate sliding hiatal hernia, large fat-containing right spigelian hernia, and diverticulosis. findings were discussed with at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on . . ir report: the risks and benefits of the procedure were explained to the patient. written informed consent was obtained. preprocedure timeout confirmed the identity of the patient and the procedure to be performed. patient was prepped in the usual fashion. with aseptic technique, an 8 french catheter was inserted into the gallbladder. brownish material was drained. post-procedure instructions were documented on the electronic patient record. no immediate post-procedure complications were identified. impression: successful placement of percutaneous cholecystostomy tube. brief hospital course: this is a 81 year-old male with a history of afib, cad, icm (?ef) who presents with fevers, ruq, hypotension, and dilated cbd to obstructing stone from hospital for ercp. . # choledocholithiasis, acute cholangitis, acute cholecystitis - patient had a obstructing stone causing fever, ruq pain, and hypotension at osh. he improved with ivf and iv unasyn. his bp soon stabilized after aggressive hydration. ercp was performed and it revealed a distal cbd measured approximately 10mm. a single 7 mm round stone that was causing partial obstruction was seen at the distal cbd. otherwise, the proximal cbd, the chd and the intrahepatic biliary tree appeared unremarkable. a sphincterotomy was not performed due to elevated inr. in setting of acute cholangitis, a 7cm by 10fr cotton- biliary plastic stent was placed successfully for decompression. after the plastic stent was placed he initially felt symptomatically improved and demonstrated quick normalization of his lfts. he was able to tolerate pos without difficulty. iv unasyn was switched to po augmentin. blood cxs are negative to date. he however he spiked to 101 on this regimen and cipro was added for added coverage. he continued to have low-grade temperatures on this regimen, so the antibiotics were broadened to zosyn and vancomycin. repeat lfts were stable. the patient had minimal ruq pain, but no other symptoms. in discussion with ercp, a ct abd/pelvis was pursued on given ongoing low-grade temperatures. this demonstrated findings consistent with acute cholecystitis. upon discussion with surgery (dr. and ercp (dr. , a percutaneous chole tube placement for gb decompression was felt to be the best option rather than ccy, given the extent of inflammation and the medical co-morbidities (though no active medical issues). he underwent placement of the tube by ir the evening on without any complications. he was continued on zosyn and vancomycin, and had good output through the tube. fluid prelim cultures demonstrated gnr, but were still pending upon discharge. blood cultures drawn on were still ngtd, but pending upon discharge. once his wbc and fevers improved, he was switched to cipro/flagyl to complete a 2-week course total. he will follow-up with surgery (dr. on for removal of the tube and discussion regarding ccy. in addition, he will need a repeat ercp in 1 month for stent removal, sphincterotomy and stone extaction, when off of coumadin. . # atrial fibrillation - the patient was continued on metoprolol for rate control. the coumadin was discontinued post-ercp and re-started, but discontinued again in preparation for the perc chole tube on . he was restarted on coumadin on per discussion with ir; this will need to be titrated up slowly to achieve goal inr . he will have repeat inr on to help with titration; to be followed by his cardiologist. his primary cardiologist, dr. , was notified of the current admission and agreed that bridging with heparin wasnot required as patient had not had a prior embolic event. . # acute on chronic schf - patient has an ef of 35% per discussion with his primary cardiologist ischemic cardiomyopathy, and is maintained on metoprolol, lasx, and ace-i. he developed acute on chronic schf ivf resuscitation in the icu; this was treated with iv lasix with good response. his lisinopril was increased from 5 mg to 20 mg for good blood pressure control, as he continued to be hypertensive on his usual regimen (sbps 160s). . # productive cough: cxr with posssible retrocardiac abnl causing sx, or could be acute bronchitis. a repeat cxr with pa and l was done to eval further the possible infiltrate and it showed signs of aspiration pneumonia. he was

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 57-year-old male with alcoholic cirrhosis, status post transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in which was complicated by occlusion, and status post revision with reocclusion in , who was referred from the liver clinic for an increase in creatinine. the patient recently was admitted from to for gastrointestinal bleed. the patient had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy done at that time which showed no evidence for bleeding varices; however, he was hemodynamically unstable and required a medical intensive care unit stay. a paracentesis was also done during that admission and showed no evidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and the patient was placed on ciprofloxacin for prophylaxis. since discharge, the patient has noted persistent fatigue, weakness, increasing bilateral lower extremity edema (right greater than left), but he denies any calf tenderness or erythema. the patient has been nauseous which is chronic. he denies any vomiting, abdominal pain, hematemesis, melena, bright red blood per rectum, upper respiratory infection symptoms, shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, or palpitations. he denies any change in his mental status. he has chills which is chronic, but he denies any fevers. the patient says that since discharge, his urine output has decreased. the patient had a large volume paracentesis of approximately 3.5 liters at an outside hospital on without any albumin afterwards. the patient went to the liver clinic on and was noted to have a rise in his creatinine from 2.7 to 4.5 over the last five days. the patient is now being admitted for a workup of his renal failure. past medical history: 1. alcoholic cirrhosis; status post transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in with occlusion and status post revision with reocclusion in . 2. grade i esophageal varices; status post banding. 3. portal gastropathy. 4. history of hepatic encephalopathy requiring intubation. 5. depression. 6. posttraumatic stress disorder. 7. mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. medications on admission: 1. protonix 40 mg p.o. twice per day. 2. ciprofloxacin 500 mg p.o. once per day (with the last dose on ). 3. flagyl 250 mg p.o. twice per day 4. lactulose. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient lives in with his wife. is a former alcohol abuser, but he has been sober for the last three to four years. he denies any illicit drug use. the patient smokes approximately four to five cigarettes per day. physical examination on presentation: physical examination revealed in general that the patient was awake and alert, chronic ill-appearing, but in no acute distress. bilateral temporal wasting was noted. temperature was 97.2, blood pressure was 122/64, heart rate was 90, respiratory rate was 20, and oxygen saturation was 97% on room air. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. extraocular movements were intact. sclerae were anicteric. mucous membranes were dry. the oropharynx was clear. the neck was supple. lung examination revealed coarse breath sounds but clear to auscultation without wheezes or crackles. cardiovascular examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm with a normal first heart sounds and second heart sounds. no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. the abdomen was soft and nontender. mildly distended. positive bowel sounds. bulging flanks were present with shifting dullness. extremity examination revealed right lower extremity with 2 to 3+ pitting edema to the knee. the left lower extremity with 1+ pitting edema. the extremities were warm with 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses, and no homans' sign or palpable cords present. the calf was nontender to palpation, and there was no erythema. neurologic examination revealed alert and oriented times three. cranial nerves ii through xii were intact. no asterixis. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: laboratories revealed white blood cell count was 13.3, hematocrit was 39, and platelets were 199. inr was 1.5. sodium was 131, potassium was 5.1, chloride was 100, bicarbonate was 15, blood urea nitrogen was 70, creatinine was 4.5, and blood glucose was 91. alt was 18, ast was 35, alkaline phosphatase was 329, total bilirubin was 1.7, and direct bilirubin was 0.7. albumin was 2.9. arterial blood gas revealed ph was 7.35, pco2 was 21, and po2 was 114. hospital course by issue/system: 1. renal issues: the patient's increase in creatinine was thought to be secondary to both a prerenal state as well as hepatorenal syndrome. a urine sediment was examined by the renal service and was found to have granular and hyaline casts without any protein and small blood. the patient was given intravenous fluids with improvement in his creatinine; suggesting a prerenal state. however, midodrine and octreotide were also started for presumed hepatorenal syndrome. throughout the hospital course, the patient's creatinine continued to improve. the patient's creatinine upon discharge ranged from 3.2 to 3.6. the patient's midodrine and octreotide were titrated up to maintain a systolic blood pressure of greater than 110. the patient no longer required intravenous fluids as he was able to take adequate fluids by mouth. the patient's urine output still remained marginal. in addition, the patient's potassium was monitored closely as hypokalemia can precipitate hepatic encephalopathy. the patient's potassium was closely monitored and repleted to greater than 4. in addition, the patient will require midodrine and octreotide perhaps indefinitely given his hepatorenal syndrome. the patient did receive albumin intermittently throughout his hospital course as well to replete his intravascular volume. 2. hepatic encephalopathy issues: the patient was admitted with a relatively clear mental status examination on lactulose/kristalose and remained relatively clear until the morning of when the patient was found completely obtunded with grade iv hepatic encephalopathy. at that time, an arterial blood gas was obtained which revealed a ph of 7.38, pco2 was 22, and po2 was 103. the patient was emergently evaluated by the medical intensive care unit and transferred to the intensive care unit for elective intubation for airway protection. since the patient had been started recently on heparin during the hospital course, there was a concern for intracranial hemorrhage. a stat computed tomography scan was obtained which showed no evidence of an intracranial hemorrhage. in addition, a magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was also obtained which showed an essentially normal study. the patient had a nasogastric tube inserted in the medical intensive care unit with the administration of 60 cc of laceration every two hours, and the patient eventually awoke on . in addition, the patient was successfully extubated at that time. given the patient's hepatic encephalopathy, the patient's potassium level was monitored closely for a goal of 3.5 to 4 to prevent exacerbation of hepatic encephalopathy. of note, an ammonia level was drawn during his encephalopathic period and it was noted to be evaluated at 300. in addition, the neurology service was consulted for further management of his encephalopathy and again agreed that the patient's current obtundation was likely due to a metabolic process; likely hepatic encephalopathy. once the patient was transferred out of the medical intensive care unit on , his mental status slowly improved with continued administration of lactulose 45 ml p.o. q.4h. as needed. 3. gastrointestinal issues: initially, the patient was admitted as a possible transplant candidate. however, because of the patient's history of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt occlusion as well as the presence of a right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, the patient was no longer considered a transplant candidate as the risks of a transplant would be extremely high. upon admission, the patient had a diagnostic paracentesis which was negative for any evidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. when the patient became obtunded in the medical intensive care unit, ceftriaxone was empirically started for a possible spontaneous bacterial peritonitis as an exacerbation factor for his obtundation; however, because the patient did not have any clinical signs of peritonitis, the ceftriaxone was discontinued once the patient was transferred out of the medical intensive care unit. the patient did have another therapeutic paracentesis performed on with removal of approximately 5 liters of peritoneal fluid with 50 g of albumin given afterwards to support his intravascular volume. the gram stain and culture, as well as a self-cath of the peritoneal fluid were still pending at the time of this dictation. 4. hematologic issues: upon admission, a right lower extremity ultrasound was obtained given the asymmetric edema. a partially occlusive right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis extending from the right common femoral vein into the popliteal vein was noted, as well as a small nonobstructive mural thrombus at the confluence of the left superficial femoral and profunda veins. because of the patient's high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, given his prior history and his alcoholic cirrhosis, along with the history of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt occlusion and reocclusion, as well as this new deep venous thrombosis, the hematology service was consulted for further management of this complicated patient. initially, the hematology service recommended the initiation of heparin with a low partial thromboplastin time goal of 50 to 60 and the placement of an inferior vena cava filter. the hematology service did not recommend long-term anticoagulation at this point; especially given the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in this patient. as noted above, on , with the initiation of heparin, the patient's partial thromboplastin time was found to be supratherapeutic at 150. concomitantly, the patient was also found to be extremely obtunded. there was a concern for an intracranial bleed, and as noted above there was no evidence hemorrhage intracranially both on computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the head. as a result, the heparin dose was adjusted in order to achieve a goal partial thromboplastin time of 50 to 60, and an inferior vena cava filter was placed on without any difficulties. a partial hypercoagulability workup was also started in the hospital, and activated protein c resistance as well as prothrombin gene mutation were sent, and the results were pending at the time of this dictation. a full hypercoagulable workup should be pursued once the patient is followed as an outpatient. once the inferior vena cava filter was placed, the heparin was discontinued. the patient's hematocrit remained completely stable during his hospitalization, and there was no evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding. 5. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition issues: the patient's chronic hyponatremia initially was corrected during his hospital course with intravenous fluids. the patient's sodium ranged from the 130s to 140s. in addition, the patient was noted to have a non-gap metabolic acidosis; likely secondary to his renal failure. the patient was not given any further bicarbonate as the patient had a respectively alkalosis secondary to hyperventilation from his ascites. as noted above, the patient's potassium levels were monitored closely to prevent the precipitation of hepatic encephalopathy. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was stable. discharge status: discharge status was to rehabilitation. discharge diagnoses: 1. alcoholic cirrhosis; status post transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with occlusion, status post revision and reocclusion. 2. history of gastrointestinal bleeds. 3. right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis; status post inferior vena cava filter. 4. ascites. 5. hepatic encephalopathy. 6. acute renal failure secondary to prerenal and hepatorenal syndrome. 7. chronic hyponatremia. medications on discharge: 1. octreotide 100 mcg subcutaneously q.8h. 2. lactulose 45 ml p.o. q.4h. as needed (titrate to four loose bowel movements per day). 3. midodrine 12.5 mg p.o. three times per day. 4. epogen 10,000 units subcutaneously two times per week (every wednesday and saturday). 5. protonix 40 mg p.o. once per day. discharge instructions/followup: the patient was to follow up with dr. to reassess the need for a repeat therapeutic paracentesis. discharge diet: the patient was discharged on a low-protein, renal, low-sodium diet. addendum: in addition, epogen was started during his hospital course given his renal failure and persistent anemia due to anemia of chronic disease and renal failure. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances insertion of endotracheal tube interruption of the vena cava percutaneous abdominal drainage percutaneous abdominal drainage diagnoses: alcoholic cirrhosis of liver acute kidney failure, unspecified hepatorenal syndrome hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia other and unspecified alcohol dependence, in remission hepatic encephalopathy mechanical complication of other vascular device, implant, and graft Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

-patient received 1l ns in and then 1lns in the ed. -ct abd: perc cholecystostomy tube terminates in the intercostal muscles. the gallbladder is not significantly distended -surgery saw the patient and felt the g-tube site looks fine; perc chole was not in the gallbladder, although gb looks good on ct scan. they removed the perc chole tube at the bedside and recommended admission to medicine and iv abx. pt was started empirically on tigicycline/vanc due to previous infections with highly resistant klebsiella and pseudomonas in the urine. pt was admitted initially to the icu due to septic physiology with fever and white count, but patient was very stable in the micu. his cxr was clear, leukocytosis resolved, and he remained afebrile. his o2 sat was 97% on 5l trach mask, and his vital signs normalized. he did have some diarrhea, but his c diff stool pcr was negative. surgery service discussed patient and felt that there was no need for additional imaging and signed off. pt has continued to do well, and initial event attributed to aspiration pneumonitis vs mucous plug. pt's tube feeds and home medications were restarted, and pt was transferred to the medical floor on . upon arrival to the floor, vitals were: 98.8f, 122/84, 99, 28, 99% on 40% tm. pt was awake with eyes open, in no apparent distress. review of systems: unable to obtain past medical history: - tbi secondary

culture-pending images: radiology chest (portable ap) 1am impression: 1. low lung volumes, with linear right basilar atelectasis. no acute cardiopulmonary pathology. 2. right upper extremity picc tip in the right axillary vein. radiology ct abd & pelvis with contrast findings: a 8 mm nodular subpleural opacity in the right lower lobe, likely represents a foci of atelectasis. no pleural or pericardial effusion is detected. the liver enhances homogeneously, without focal lesions. there is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilatation. the percutaneous cholecystostomy tube has been retracted and the tip now lies within the right anterior intercostal muscles (2:14). the gallbladder is not significantly distended, as before. a single gallstone in the neck of the gallbladder, isunchanged. very minimal residual gallbladder wall thickening is noted. no significant pericholecystic fat stranding is detected. the adrenal glands, spleen, and pancreas are normal. both kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically, without evidence of hydroureteronephrosis. a percutaneous gastrostomy tube is in place. stomach, small and large bowel loops are otherwise unremarkable. the appendix is normal. there is no free fluid or air. ct of the pelvis: the urinary bladder is nearly empty with a foley catheter in place. the rectum and sigmoid colon are normal. no pelvic adenopathy is seen. bones and soft tissues: no bone lesions suspicious for infection or malignancy are detected. mild degenerative changes are seen in the lumbar spine. impression: 1. previously placed cholecystostomy tube has seen malpositioned, with the tip terminating in the right anterior intercostal muscles. 2. the gallbladder is not significantly distended compared to the prior study. mild residual wall edema persists. no definite evidence of recurrent cholecystitis. 3. percutaneous gastrostomy tube in place. no other acute abdominal pathology. radiology chest (portable ap) 10 am findings: lung volumes are low causing bibasilar atelectasis. tracheostomy is in unchanged position. no focal opacities concerning for an infectious process. small pleural effusions bilaterally. radiology chest (portable ap compared to the prior study, there has been increased opacity at both lung bases. opacity at the right lung base is linear and is most consistent with atelectasis. opacity at the left lung base is less linear and may represent consolidation secondary to aspiration or pneumonia. there is blunting of the left costophrenic angle which has increased consistent with pleural effusion. tracheostomy tube remains in good position. impression: findings consistent with right lower lobe atelectasis, left pleural effusion, and left lower lobe opacity consistent with pneumonia and/or aspiration. brief hospital course: 52m w/ pmh of anoxic brain injury (baseline non-verbal and posturing) and recent cholecystitis with placement of perc chole tube who presents from with tachycardia, tachypneia, and in hypoxic respiratory distress, found to have displaced perc chole tube, now removed. #hypoxic respiratory distress: patient developed tachypnea and sats of 77% on room air trach, later improving to 95% sats on 5l via trach. clear cxr and rapidly improving sypmtoms suggest aspiration pneumonitis versus mucous plugging, less likely pneumonia. also less likely pulmonary embolism given rapid resolution, and pt was on heparin prophylaxis. patient now in no respiratory distress and is satting well on trach mask, but is growing moderate gram neg rods on sputum culture, possibly commensals, and gram positive cocci. pt also vomited morning, but very low residuals (10ml). pt currently has a g tube and has been using it without issue. pt has not had any further emesis. repeat cxr on showed right lower lobe atelectasis, left pleural effusion, and left lower lobe opacity consistent with pneumonia and/or aspiration. pt has not had any fevers, and white cell count remains normal at 5.8k on . sputum culture from showed > 3 different species consistent w/ mixed flora, further speciation showed gram negative rods but no evidence of pseudomonas, and gram positive cocci, likely staph aureus. pt has had intermittent tachypena, but o2 requirements are close to baseline, and he is being treated with for suspected uti (see below), which will cover staph aureus (including mrsa), strep, and atypical organisms. will continue for 2 weeks total, so if pt has hcap, course for uti will cover. #tachycardia: patient presented with tachycardia from . possible early sepsis vs. reaction to pain or pulmonary event (aspiration, mucous plug, pulmonary embolism), or primary neurological cause. currently afebrile without leukocytosis and no clear infectious source, does not look to be in pain. patient appears euvolemic on exam and is having good urine output. low suspicion for pulmonary embolism given no longer hypoxic and on anticoagulation prior to admission. pt may be having paroxysmal autonomic instability w/ dystonia (paid) syndrome ;61:321-328], which is associated w/ severe brain injury of any sort and includes episodic symptoms of marked agitation, diaphoresis, hyperthermia, hypertension, tachycardia, and tachypnea accompanied by hypertonia and extensor posturing. his home metoprolol 25 mg q6 hrs was continued without issue. #fever / uti: patient was febrile to 101f at . however, he has been afebrile since admission. leukocytosis now improved. ua negative, and cxr without consolidation. ct abdomen negative for acute process. have been due to dislodged perc chole tube causing inflammatory reaction being lodged in intercostals muscle. picc line was removed. also patient now c/o diarrhea, but c diff stool pcr negative. pt w/ elevated lfts, which may be due to infection, obstruction or medications. also be component of paid syndrome (see above). all cultures are negative for > 48 hours and other studies are unrevealing. lfts improving. ua on showed significant pyuria w/ 151 wbcs, but no urine culture was sent from ed. attempted to add on urine culture to sample, but specimen was lost by the lab. repeat ua on showed improved pyruia with 48 wbcs, and urine culture still pending, but given that he already received two days of , need to presume complicated uti and continue to treat with 50mg iv bid for full 2 week course ending . blood culture have shown no growth to date, and pt's white blood cell count resolved to normal on . note: pt had a midline iv placed in r upper extremity, with heparin dependent flushes. pt's foley catheter was also changed just prior to discharge on . since he is on , pt will need weekly ast, alk, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, bun, creatinine, phosphate while on as these values may increase with this medication. he will also need weekly complete blood count as may cause thrombocytopenia. #rash: patient has a rash over his back of unclear etiology. it is a macular rash with confluence at upper back. possible exanthem vs. drug rash vs. dependent rubor/stage 1. was improving prior to discharge with mild desquamation. # pressure ulcer: stage i, over buttock, will need good wound care and frequent repositioning as per wound care recs (see below). # nutrition/g-tube: the patient has a history of infections at the site of his g-tube. it will be important to closely monitor the site, with routine care. it is a stoma and is chronically macerated. pt's famotidine and tube feeds were continued without issue. dressings as per wound care instructions below. # code status: the patient is full code, with a court appointed guardian. changes in clinical status should be discussed with the guardian. the prognosis overall of the patient's grim chance of neurological recovery was discussed on previous admission, and the guardian is exploring options through the court system to make the patient dnr/dni. currently he is full code. # wound care: per inpatient wound care consult: pressure ulcer care per guidelines: 1) turn and reposition off back q 2 hours and prn. 2) limit sit time to 1 hour at a time using a pressure redistribution cushion for gtube site: 1) cleanse skin/ulcer and pat dry. 2) barrier wipe to periwound tissue. 3) fill/cover wound with aquacel sheet or rope followed by allevyn foam trach sponge, secure with medipore h soft cloth tape, change daily for perianal, thighs and gluteal tissues: 1) cleanse gently with foam cleanser then pat dry, apply thin layers of critic aid clear antifungal waffle or mps to bilateral heels as pt has hx of heel ulcers # dvt prophylaxis: heparin 5000 units sc tid transitional issues: -final urine culture still pending -pt will need weekly ast, alk, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, bun, creatinine, phosphate while on as these values may increase with this medication. he will also need weekly complete blood count as may cause thrombocytopenia. -pt's court-appointed guardian is working with court to change pt's code status to do not resuscitate, currently remains full code. medications on admission: 1. metoprolol tartrate 50 mg tablet sig: one (1)

Medical Report: allergies: morphine / codeine / ciprofloxacin attending: chief complaint: hematemesis major surgical or invasive procedure: egd with variceal banding on history of present illness: mr, is a 45 y/o m with h/o etoh cirrhosis c/b esophageal varices s/p banding and ascites complains of epigastric and right upper quadrant pain. this began yesterday. also had episodes of coffee-ground emesis and continues to feel nauseous. has had black, tarry, dark stool x 1 only. has not had further bowel movements. also had one episode of emesis with red blood. denies fevers, chills, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness. reports that his belly pain is epigastric, throbbing in quality, worse when he lays down flat. in the ed, he received protonix 80 mg iv and then 8 mg/hr gtt, octreotide gtt started, and ceftriaxone x 1 for sbp prophylaxis. past medical history: etoh cirrhosis esophageal varices - grade ii and s/p banding procedures - s/p multiple variceal bleeds, 6 episodes from to s/p multiple bandings - egd: 1 cord of grade 2 varices, 2 cords of grade 1 varices were seen in the lower third of the esophagus; changes consistent with barrett's chronic pancreatitis etoh abuse bipolar disorder s/p ccy in s/p right acl replacement and meniscectomy in social history: drinks 1-1.5 pints of whiskey per day, last drink 6 pm day before admission. denies ever smoking, denies ilicits. lives in an apt in with roommates, does not have a close relationship with his family family history: h/o alcoholism and kidney cancer physical exam: admission exam: vs: 98.2, 110/74, 87, 7, 95% ra general: aox3, nad heent: mmm. no lad. no jvd. neck supple. heart: rrr s1/s2 heard. no murmurs/gallops/rubs. lungs: ctab no crackles or wheezes, non labored abdomen: soft, tender to palpation in epigastrium, nondistended. no guarding or rebound, neg hsm. neg sign. ext: wwp, no edema. dps, pts 2+. skin: dry, no rash, no evidence of chronic liver disease neuro/psych: cns ii-xii intact. pupils 3cm bilaterally and perrla. strength and sensation in u/l extremities grossly intact. gait not assessed. discharge physical exam physical exam: vitals: t 98.8 bp 92/46 hr 84 rr 20 o2 sat 97% on ra i&os: , while ordered to be npo. general: lying in bed in nad, sleeping but easily arousable. ext: warm. no pitting edema. pertinent results: admission labs: 04:00am blood wbc-3.5* rbc-2.86*# hgb-8.3*# hct-24.5*# mcv-86 mch-29.0 mchc-33.9 rdw-16.3* plt ct-128*# 04:00am blood neuts-63.2 lymphs-29.4 monos-3.0 eos-4.2* baso-0.2 04:00am blood glucose-125* urean-8 creat-0.6 na-138 k-5.2* cl-104 hco3-21* angap-18 04:00am blood alt-22 ast-105* alkphos-276* totbili-0.5 01:26pm blood calcium-7.8* 04:15am blood lactate-2.0 discharge labs: cxr : tip of the new endotracheal tube is at the thoracic inlet, no less than 4 cm from the carina. enteric tube passes into the stomach and out of view. lungs are low in volume but clear. normal cardiomediastinal and hilar silhouettes and pleural surfaces. egd : esophageal varices (ligation) esophagitis mucosa suggestive of barrett's esophagus gastric erosions mild portal gastropathy was noted. no gastric varices were seen. otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum recommendations: continue octreotide gtt continue ceftriaxone 1 g q24 hours start carafate once extubated and tolerating pos check h pylori serology ppi serial hgb with goal >8 discuss alcohol abstinence; will need ciwa scale inhouse should follow up with his outpatient gastroenterologist for f/u of liver disease and barrett's esophagus brief hospital course: mr. is a 45 year old male with pmh of etoh cirrhosis complicated by esophageal varices and ascites who presented with hematemesis x 3 and melena, initially admitted to the micu for egd, called out to the floor on . his egd showed variceal disease with one varix that had stigmata of bleeding and was banded transferred to the medicine floor for further management. # hematemesis: his story was concerning for an upper gi bleed and so the liver team performed an egd on morning of admission which showed an esophageal varix with red-dot stigmata of bleeding. he is now status post banding of this lesion and they did not see other evidence of bleed. he does continue to have evidence of his chronic reflux changes of ??????s esophagus as well. he was maintained on an octreotide ggt x 72 hours, ceftriaxone for infectious prophylaxis in setting of his upper gi bleed, and carafate. he was initially put on pantoprazole drip and this was transitioned to ppi after egd then to po pantoprazole . his diet was advanced successfully, and his hct remained stable at 23-24 throughout admission. he did not require blood transfusions. h. pylori found to be negative. when the octreotide was discontinued, his home nadolol was restarted; however for episodes of asymptomatic hypotension with systolics as low as mid-80s, the home nadolol was decreased to 10mg daily. the patient was also discharged with single-strength bactrim to complete a 5 day course for sbp prophylaxis. the patient has repeat endoscopy scheduled with dr. for . # respiratory status: he was intubated for the egd, and successfully extubated shortly after without complications. patient remained on room air through his medicin floor course. # abdominal pain: likely multifactorial with contributions from chronic pancreatitis, ascites pressure, component of functional/chronic pain medication. patient was made npo and diet was advanced as tolerated. on day of discharge, patient was tolerating an oral diet. pain was controlled with dilaudid 2-4mg every 6 hours prn. # etoh abuse: maintained on ciwa protocol but did not require prn benzodiazepines for withdrawal symptoms. social work consult was obtained for etoh programs and living situation. his outpatient pcp reported that he was previsouly homeless, put into housing with lots of support/team case worker. social work saw the patient while on the medicine floor to possibly persue a section 35. on the medicine floor, the patient stated a plan to attend a men's health group near , which he is attended in the past. he also stated a plan to talk regularly with two therapists that he said he had close relationships with. patient was encouraged to keep this plan. because he consistently stated his plan to multiple providers on his health care team, the decision was made not to persue section 35. however, should the patient re-present for alcohol related illness or intoxicated, then a section 35 may be persued. # pancytopenia: his wbc dropped to 1.6 at nadir with platelets 80. he has a history of this in the past and it is likely related to liver disease and alcohol abuse. rebounded on its own, should be followed as an outpatient. attributed pancytopenia to marrow suppression in the setting of patient's alcohol abuse. #

malaria

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: past medical history: 1. tongue cancer diagnosed in , status post xrt times 35, status post peg. 2. coronary artery disease, status post mi in . 3. diabetes mellitus type 2. 4. hypertension. 5. colon cancer, status post resection without chemotherapy. 6. status post cholecystectomy. 7. hyponatremia. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. admission medications: 1. aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d. 2. amlodipine 7.5 mg p.o. q.d. 3. propanolol 30 mg p.o. t.i.d. 4. loperamide 2 q.i.d. p.r.n. 5. glyburide 5 q.d. 6. lisinopril 5 mg p.o. q.d. 7. robitussin with codeine. social history: the patient lives in with her grandson. she denied any tobacco, alcohol, or drug use. physical examination on admission: vital signs: temperature 98.9, bp 112/60, pulse 97, respirations 20, 98% on room air. general: well appearing, in no acute distress, no respiratory distress. heent: pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. extraocular movements were intact. white exudate in mouth. evidence of some minimal breakdown of the tongue mucosa. the patient has an edematous lower lip with blistering. there is hyperpigmentation of her lower face. lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm, normal s1, s2. abdomen: normoactive bowel sounds, soft, nontender, nondistended. the patient's liver is palpated 2 cm below her right costal margin. extremities: no clubbing or cyanosis. there was 1+ pitting edema in the bilateral lower extremities. laboratory/radiologic data: white blood cell count 11.5, hematocrit 36.4, platelets 263,000, (neutrophils 84.4, lymphocytes 6.7). sodium 126, potassium 4.3, chloride 88, bicarbonate 28, bun 19, creatinine 0.6, glucose 153, ck 29, alt 50, ast 50, total bilirubin 0.5, alkaline phosphatase 73, ldh 180, albumin 3.8, amylase 47, lipase 57. the u/a revealed negative nitrates, negative leukocytes. hospital course: 1. pulmonary: the patient was completely stable from a respiratory standpoint on admission; however, on hospital day number three, had respiratory arrest with an abg of 7.15/82/33 and chest x-ray significant for asymmetric pulmonary edema with question of aspiration pneumonia. the patient was intubated and transferred to the . the patient improved rather rapidly from a respiratory standpoint and was extubated on the following day. she was started on levofloxacin and vancomycin for aspiration pneumonia and when her sputum culture grew mssa pneumonia, her vancomycin was stopped and she was continued on levofloxacin for a full course. the etiology of the patient's respiratory failure is likely multifactorial. it is considered likely that it was triggered initially by aspiration pneumonia with hypertensive urgency and subsequent flash pulmonary edema. the patient remained afebrile throughout her hospitalization with a normal white blood cell count and was maintained on levofloxacin for aspiration pneumonia. her pulmonary edema occurred in the setting of hypertension and resolved on the second day of her stay in the . it is likely that the patient has an element of diastolic dysfunction with this hypertensive crisis and she was diuresed with lasix while in the icu. there was also a question of possible mucus plugging given the patient's thick secretions after xrt. she was maintained on humidified oxygen for mobilization of this thick sputum. given slight wheezing on examination on transfer back to the floor, the patient was started on albuterol for likely post pneumonia inflammation of her airways. she maintained good oxygen saturations on room air once transferred to the floor and was completely stable from a respiratory standpoint. 2. gastrointestinal: the patient was admitted with abdominal discomfort with her tube feeds as well as loose stools and elevated transaminase levels. she had an abdominal ct on the day following her admission which was significant for a dilated common bile duct and was evaluated by the ercp fellow who consented the patient for ercp. however, on the following hospital day, the patient suffered a respiratory arrest and was taken to the . throughout the remainder of her hospital course, the patient's transaminitis resolved and she did not complain of any further "funny feeling" in her abdomen. it was, therefore, decided to hold off on the ercp and readdress this issue at some time in the future if the patient becomes symptomatic once again. 3. cardiovascular: the patient was noted during her respiratory arrest and brief stay in the to have troponins peak to 0.36 with flat cks and an uninterpretable ekg secondary to left bundle branch block. given that she experienced a troponin leak in the context of her hypertensive crisis, it is likely that it represents demand ischemia. the patient was continued on her aspirin, beta blocker, and ace inhibitor. there was a question of congestive heart failure. the patient was transferred to the given pulmonary edema and her respiratory arrest. she had an echocardiogram which was significant for normal left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction of 55-70%. it is likely that the patient has an element of diastolic dysfunction and received several daily doses of lasix while in the icu. her beta blocker and ace inhibitor were continued, as described above, and she was given several doses of lasix on the floor in order to maintain an even to negative fluid balance. the patient was admitted on an antihypertensive regimen of propanolol, lisinopril, and amlodipine. this was changed to metoprolol and lisinopril with doses titrated to control her blood pressure. 4. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: the patient was admitted with difficulty tolerating her tube feeds. her tube feed regimen was changed from boluses to continuous concentrated tube feed which the patient tolerated. the patient will be discharged on continuous tube feeds at night which will allow her to have increased mobility during the day in the hopes that the continuous tube feeds will avoid any abdominal discomfort. the patient was also admitted with hyponatremia in the context of restarting her hydrochlorothiazide at home. her hydrochlorothiazide was held on admission and the patient received normal saline with eventual resolution of her hyponatremia. it is likely that the patient's hyponatremia was secondary to hydrochlorothiazide with an element of dehydration contributing. on transfer back to the floor, the patient had a video swallow study which was significant for poor tongue movement with premature spillover of fluids as well as an edematous epiglottis that does not deflect which contributes to aspiration. the patient's visualized aspiration, however, appeared to be related to her complaints of pain and discomfort with material being swallowed and she was able to swallow water multiple times without difficulty. it was also noted that when aspiration occurs she has an effective cough to clear it. the speech and swallow team, therefore, recommended initiation of a p.o. diet for secondary means only consisting of pureed and thin liquids with the avoidance of any asitic, citrus or spicy foods. 5. endocrine: the patient was admitted with a history of diabetes mellitus type 2 on glyburide. her glyburide was held on her transfer to the and when she returned to the floor she was noted to have poor control of her sugars. the patient was started on metformin 500 mg b.i.d. with her fingerstick glucoses monitored and noted to be under improved control. it is unclear if the patient's sulfonylurea caused cholestatic hepatitis which resulted in the patient's mild elevation in transaminase levels and abdominal discomfort but for this concern the patient was switched over to metformin. 6. psychiatry: the patient was noted to have a somewhat depressed affect throughout her hospitalization as noted by physician and nursing staff. she had many vague complaints and appeared to be moderately depressed. for this reason, the patient was started on an antidepressant, paxil, 20 mg p.o. q.d. condition on discharge: good. discharge status: the patient was discharged to home with vna services. she was encouraged to continue all medications as prescribed as well as her tube feeding regimen which will be continuous over 12 hours at night. discharge diagnosis: 1. aspiration pneumonia, mssa. 2. flash pulmonary edema. 3. hyponatremia. 4. tongue cancer, status post xrt. 5. diabetes mellitus type 2. 6. coronary artery disease. 7. hypertension. discharge medications: 1. aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d. 2. lisinopril 5 mg p.o. q.d. 3. loperamide 2 mg p.o. q.i.d. p.r.n. diarrhea. 4. clorhexadine 0.12% liquid 15 milliliters mucous membranes b.i.d. as needed. 5. promethazine 25

membranes t.i.d. p.r.n. mouth discomfort. follow-up: the patient has a follow-up appointment with her primary care physician on at 9:30 a.m. she will be followed by vna nursing for assistance with her medications and her cycled home tube feedings. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: please see prior discharge summary. this is a discharge summary addendum to one done on . hospital course: 1. aspiration pneumonia - the patient was found to have methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus in her sputum of , as well as klebsiella pneumoniae in her sputum on several occasions. she was restarted on vancomycin after the finding of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus in her sputum for a total of fourteen day course for which a picc line was placed prior to discharge for outpatient administration of vancomycin. 2. t fistula - a new tracheostomy tube called was placed by dr. on . the tube was placed without difficulty and the t fistula was noted to be completely healed at that time. 3. respiratory status - the patient also tolerated pressure support quite well. this mode was felt to be more beneficial for the patient given her respiratory muscle involvement. 4. hypertension - the patient's blood pressure responded well to metoprolol 50 mg twice a day and clonidine patch. she was continued on these medications upon discharge. 5. mental status - the patient's decreased mental status was also thought to be secondary to a klebsiella bacteremia found on blood culture bottles on . her mental status improved after three or four days of intravenous meropenem. the patient was able to respond appropriately to most questions with nonaudible mouthing of answers. 6. fluid, electrolytes and nutrition - once her partial small bowel obstruction improved, the patient was started on tube feeds (peptamen vhp) and reached her goal of 75 cc/hour without difficulty. 7. partial small bowel obstruction - the patient's partial small bowel obstruction resolved approximately twelve days postoperatively after jejunostomy tube was placed. it was felt that the partial small bowel obstruction was secondary to edema at the jejunostomy tube site. the patient continued to have positive bowel sounds and stools during the administration of tube feeding. 8. urinary tract infection - the patient's urine was infected with klebsiella pneumoniae that was sensitive to gentamicin and meropenem but resistant to all penicillins and cloroquinalones. given the toxicity of gentamicin, the patient was discontinued on that drug and started on a fourteen day course of meropenem. on repeat surveillance urine cultures, the patient showed no klebsiella in those cultures but did have some yeast. secondary to prospective studies, the patient was not treated for a yeast infection as thought to be a colonization and no data reports indicate a benefit to patient from antifungal therapy. she was discharged from the hospital with a picc line in place for administration of additional antibiotic use. 9. increased alkaline phosphatase and ggt with mild right upper quadrant pain - the patient had right upper quadrant ultrasound done after finding laboratory results of increased alkaline phosphatase and ggt. the right upper quadrant ultrasound showed no signs of cholelithiasis, cholecystitis or dilation of common bile duct. the thought was that she had some cholestasis secondary to biliary sludging from the medication she was taking. 10. prophylaxis - the patient was continued on proton pump inhibitor, subcutaneous heparin for prophylaxis. 11. code status - her code status was full. condition on discharge: good. discharge status: the patient was discharged to rehabilitation facility. discharge diagnoses: 1. tracheoesophageal fistula. 2. ventilator associated pneumonia. 3. urinary tract infection. 4. bacteremia. 5. partial small bowel obstruction. 6. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 7. coronary artery disease. 8. jejunostomy feeding tube. medications on discharge: 1. fluticasone 110 mcg aerosol with adaptor three puffs twice a day. 2. clonidine hcl 0.1 mg per 24 hour patch, one patch transdermal q.friday. 3. metoprolol 50 mg twice a day. 4. vancomycin one gram q12hours for seven days. 5. meropenem one gram q8hours for six days. 6. ativan 1 mg q6hours. 7. albuterol eight to twenty puffs inhalation every four hours as needed. 8. albuterol with ipratropium 18 mcg aerosol with adaptor eight to twenty puffs inhalation every four hours as needed. 9. lansoprazole 30 mg capsule, one capsule once daily. follow-up plans: the patient is to follow-up with her primary care physician in one to two weeks. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 14:57 t: 18:56 job#: procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances other enterostomy enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances other intubation of respiratory tract other incision with drainage of skin and subcutaneous tissue bronchoscopy through artificial stoma other gastrostomy replacement of tracheostomy tube closure of gastrostomy closure of other fistula of trachea tracheoscopy through artificial stoma diagnoses: urinary tract infection, site not specified other specified intestinal obstruction acute and chronic respiratory failure pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus bacteremia other complications due to other vascular device, implant, and graft infection and inflammatory reaction due to other vascular device, implant, and graft other gastrostomy complications other tracheostomy complications Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

although his creatine kinase levels were trending down. the patient was maintained on a beta blocker, ace inhibitor, and a statin. his aspirin and heparin were held because the patient had become intermittently become guaiac-positive as well as a questionable episode of melena which was not confirmed by the nursing staff. given the patient's history of melena, as well as guaiac-positive status, the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit for a gastrointestinal workup. a gastric lavage was notable for "flecks" not coffee-grounds or blood. no active bleeding was noted. a gastroenterology consultation recommended esophagogastroduodenoscopy as an outpatient given his current cardiopulmonary status. the patient was maintained on a proton pump inhibitor and serial hematocrit levels were monitored. the patient was transferred back to the c-med service. a cardiac catheterization was performed on and hemodynamics were not suggestive of volume overload. his pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was 13, pad of 20, diffuse stenoses were noted throughout the right and left coronaries with evidence of stenoses beyond graft sites as well. there was no intervention at the time of catheterization, and the patient was instructed to pursue medical management. (b) pump: there was no evidence of volume overload after the cardiac catheterization; however, when the patient was in the medical intensive care unit, he did undergo diuresis with both natrecor and lasix; which were discontinued upon transfer back to the c-med service. (c) rhythm: the patient was in a sinus rhythm throughout his hospitalization, and electrocardiograms were followed. 2. hypoxemia issues: the patient's chest x-rays were continued as well as levaquin and flagyl. the patient was able to be weaned off oxygen. the patient's chest x-ray was notable for bilateral pleural effusions despite diuresis. a thoracentesis was performed with the removal of approximately 600 cc. there was clear/yellow fluid removed from the right lung. analysis was pending; however, this appeared to be transudative. the patient was able to be weaned off of oxygen. 3. acute renal failure and chronic renal insufficiency issues: the patient had an improving creatinine throughout his hospital course. his ace inhibitor, as well as glucophage, were held until resolution of his creatinine clearance. 4. type 2 diabetes mellitus issues: the patient was maintained on glyburide and an insulin sliding-scale. he resumed his by mouth regimen including avandia and glucophage upon discharge to rehabilitation service. discharge diagnoses: 1. pneumonia with pulmonary edema. 2. congestive heart failure with new mitral regurgitation. 3. coronary artery disease. (a) status post coronary artery bypass graft. (b) status post cardiac catheterization during this hospitalization for a non-st-elevation myocardial infarction with evidence of stenoses through graft sites as well as native vessels. 4. hypertension. 5. diabetes. 6. acute-on-chronic renal failure. 7. gastrointestinal bleed and iron deficiency anemia; workup pending. 8. transient hypocalcemia. major surgical/invasive procedures performed: 1. cardiac catheterization. 2. gastric lavage. 3. thoracentesis of a right pleural effusion with transudative effusion. condition at discharge: the patient was weaned off oxygen. discharge disposition: the patient was to be discharged to pulmonary rehabilitation at in . medications on discharge: 1. atorvastatin 10 mg by mouth once per day. 2. aspirin 325 mg by mouth once per day. 3. metronidazole 500 mg by mouth three times per day (for one more day). 4. glyburide 5 mg by mouth twice per day. 5. levofloxacin 250 mg by mouth once per day. 6. pantoprazole 40 mg by mouth once per day. 7. folic acid 1 mg by mouth once per day. 8. ferrous sulfate 325 mg by mouth once per day. 9. isosorbide mononitrate 30 mg by mouth once per day. 10. metoprolol 100 mg by mouth twice per day. 11. glucophage 500 mg by mouth twice per day. 12. avandia 8 mg by mouth once per day. 13. vitamin b12 1000 mcg by mouth every day. 14. terazosin 5 mg by mouth at hour of sleep. 15. captopril 12.5 mg by mouth three times per day. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization coronary arteriography using two catheters angiocardiography of left heart structures thoracentesis injection or infusion of nesiritide diagnoses: hypocalcemia subendocardial infarction, initial episode of care coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery mitral valve disorders congestive heart failure, unspecified acute kidney failure, unspecified pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus blood in stool diseases of tricuspid valve Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

in six months could help to establish expected stability. . brief hospital course: 85 year old f w/ h/o dementia, ra, afib, transferred from osh with bilateral supracondylar femur fracture on . on , patient presented to ed and received intravenous pain medication carefully. the patient also received steroids because she has been on steroids recently. her lactate was normal. she was admitted to the orthopedic surgery service. her blood pressure was stable in the emergency department. she was ordered for 1u prbcs at 3pm given crit drop 31->26. orthopaedics team ordered that patient to be npo, added her on to or schedule, placed in bilateral knee immobilizers, finalized consent with daughter, b/l orif, ordered preop labs/ekg/cxr, and continue macrobid for uti. she was taken to the or with orthopaedics for fixation of her bilateral distal femur fractures. she was brought to the operating room, was given general anesthesia placed in the supine position on her stretcher. there was much difficulty with getting access to her and anesthesia had to place a central line in the subclavian area. her pulse was quite rapid and there was difficulty controlling her blood pressure and difficulty establishing good access. she was given a unit of blood, but given her labile pressures and tachycardia, decision was made to hold off on the open treatment. at this point, ortho team elected to hold both femur fractures reduced with traction and knee immobilizers were placed. plan was to bring her back to the intensive care unit for supportive care and consider fixation in the future. the patient was taken to the tsicu floor for close observation and care under sedation and intubated. on , the patient was transfused 1u prbc for hct drop from 29.4 to 23.2 in tsicu. she was made npo overnight for planned procedure on . a surface echo was ordered to evaluate cardiac function in setting of recent hypotension (sbp 50) and tachycardia (hr 160) showing relatively small left ventricle with hyperdynamic systolic function; mild mitral regurgitation; borderline dilation of the right ventricle with moderate tricuspid regurgitation. an us of gallbladder was ordered showing cholelithiasis with no son signs of cholecystitis and no biliary dilatation seen. on , the patient went to the or and underwent an attempted open reduction and internal fixation of left periprosthetic supracondylar femur fracture (aborted), closed reduction of left femur fracture, open reduction and internal fixation of right supracondylar periprosthetic femur fracture. given comminution of the lateral aspect of the femur, intraoperative consultation was obtained with one of our arthroplastic specialists, dr. . after formal consultation over the telephone, we discussed the options including supplementary fixation with bone cement, the option for a revision left total knee in the form of a distal femoral replacement, provisional stabilization with an external fixator versus closed reduction. after consultation with dr. , we elected to proceed with a closed reduction of the left femur. she was provisionally going to return to the operating room in the next 48 to 72 hours with dr. for possible distal femoral replacement, revision left total knee arthroplasty. on , blood culture results came back positive (from show enterococcus, gram(-) rods, gram(+) cocci). urine cultures were also positive ( shows gram(-) rods). on , results finalized with positive cultures showing enterococcus, moragnella morganii, coag neg staph. antibiotics continued appropriately with meropenem. on pt was called out to regular floor. in the afternoon, pt was found unresponsive, with pea arrest. a code was called. pt was intubated. cpr was given for 5 mins, 1 mg epi and stress dose hydrocortisol were given. pulse was palpated afterwards without defibrillation. pt was emergently transferred to micu. central access was established, and pt was initially pressors. post-code labs were consistent with acute shock liver and myocardial injury post arrest. she was supported with pressor and mechanical ventilation. however, no meaningful return of neurological function was observed - she had roving eyes without any evidence of higher cortical function during her icu stay post-arrest, concerning for significant hypoxemia brain injury. on , she manifested a progressive elevation in her lactate, increasing pressor requirements, and evidence of evolving multiorgan failure. given her lack of neurological function and her overall dire clinical course, her family was notified, came in and during a family meeting the consensus decision was made to transition to cmo. ventilator support was withdrawn on . pt expired at 10:22 am on with her family at the bedside. autopsy was

football and preparing for bed early when she had sudden left sided llq/flank/back pain that led to nausea and almost immediate non-bloody vomiting. the pain persisted and was a severe achiness, and she presented to . there, she had a u/a with trace blood and 3-5rbcs, and non-contrast abdominal ct which was negative for nephro/ureterolithiasis or free air. she was transferred to for further management. in the ed, vital signs were initially: 97.6 50irreg 123/86 18 97 while being worked up, she also developed chest pain that she stated was her anginal equivalent that has been occuring on a near daily basis, confirmed with discussion with her pcp. were no significant ecg changes reported with the chest pain that was recalcitrant to sl ntg but responded with iv morphine. the ed staff recommended abdominal ct scanning with po and iv contrast for further workup. they began premedicating with prednisone 40mg, ranitidine 150mg and diphenhydrame 50mg which she started at 2:30am. she also started receiving normal saline at 75cc/hr. on the floor after receiving iv morphine in the ed, she is currently entirely free of chest and abdominal pain. past medical history: - cad s/p cabg

blood culture : no growth x 2 blood culture : pending x2 cxr : patchy left retrocardiac lower lobe opacities, could reflect an early consolidation. ct abd/pelvis : 1. small wedge-shaped left kidney defects represent infarcts of indeterminate age. 2. indeterminate 1.2 cm nodular left adrenal lesion statistically most likely represents an adenoma but multiphase imaging can be obtained for further evaluation. 3. there are extensive atherosclerotic calcifications along the sma and celiac axis, without secondary signs to suggest acute bowel ischemia kub : no evidence of bowel obstruction or free air tte : the left atrium is elongated. the estimated right atrial pressure is 10-20mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is unusually small. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 60%). the right ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. the right ventricular cavity is markedly dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. there is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is mild aortic valve stenosis (valve area 1.2-1.9cm2). mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , right ventriclular enlargement and contractile dysfunction, and pulmonary hypertension, are now frankly severe. cxr : the et tube tip is 4.5 cm above the carina. the right internal jugular line tip is at the level of mid svc. there is no evidence of pneumothorax after insertion of the right internal jugular line. the ng tube tip is in the stomach. the right pacemaker leads terminate in right atrium and right ventricle. the patient is after median sternotomy and cabg with unchanged appearance of the surgical wires and coronary stent that are most likely located within the bypass graft rather than within the native coronary arteries. there is still present mild pulmonary edema with bibasal opacities that may represent atelectasis versus partially resolved pulmonary edema and should be closely followed. head ct : no acute intracranial process chest cta : 1. no pulmonary embolus, aortic dissection or aneurysm. 2. enlarged right ventricular cavity relative to the left as well as enlarged right atrium, consistent with the provided history of right heart strain. 3. diffuse ground-glass opacities as well as intralobular septal thickening and subcutaneous edema, together are suggestive of mild volume overload. 4. redemonstration of pulmonary fibrotic changes, minimally changed since . cxr : the et tube tip is 3.3 cm above the carina. the ng tube tip is in the stomach. the post-sternotomy wires are intact. cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. there is interval improvement of pulmonary edema which is currently still present, minimal. the right internal jugular line tip is at the level of mid svc. eeg : pending at time of expiration cxr : in comparison with the study of , there is little overall change. monitoring and support devices remain in place. cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable with mild persistent elevation of pulmonary venous pressure. brief hospital course: # abdominal pain: the patient's initial chief complaint was sudden abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting at rest. ct showed several wedge-shaped renal hypodensities, possibly consistent with renal infarcts. her abdominal pain was minimal on arrival, and did not recur on the floor. # chest pain: while on the floor, the patient had recurrent episodes of angina, which were initially relieved with 2-3 sublingual morphine tabs, 1-2 mg morphine, and oxygen. she reported having these epiodes on an almost daily basis at home, such that she had grown accustomed to sleeping on the sofa on the of her house, so that she did not have to walk up stairs. attempts to walk up stairs were consistently interrupted by angina, so that she would have to take nitro half-way up. she had been having these episodes for at least several months. she also reported making frequent trips to her local emergency department, where she would take aspirin and nitroglycerin before returning home. the patient was written for beta blockers and isosorbide but her dosing was limited because of her borderline hypotension. multiple conversations were held between the patient and house staff, in which she re-iterated her preference for full code status. cardiology was consulted, who recommended optimizing medical management, discontinuing digoxin, and transfusing red blood cells, to increase the patient's blood pressure and avoid ischemia from anemia. on the early morning of , the patient had another episode of chest pain, followed by an arrest. acls was initiated, and the patient was found to be in pea. she was shocked twice, which returned a perfusing rhythm. she was transferred to the micu. **** # atrial fibrillation: the patient had a pacemaker placed in , with her most recent generator change in . she had been on warfarin anticoagulation in the past, but this had been discontinued several years ago, when the patient experienced episodes of rectal and vaginal bleeding. she also developed a large hematoma in her left forearm, at the site of attempted iv access by the emt's that brought her to the hospital. serial ekg's taken on the floor showed an intermittently paced rhythm. **** # community acquired pneumonia: the patient had been diagnosed with an infiltrate on chest x-ray prior to admission, and had been started on levofloxacin as an outpatient. admission chest x-ray also showed an early infiltrate. she had generally excellent oxygen saturation with intermittent oxygen supplementation by nasal cannula. **** # acute on chronic kidney disease: baseline creatinine 1.3, was elevated to 1.9 on admission. increased further after initial abdominal/pelvis ct, in spite of pre-hydration and pre-treatment. acute injury thought to be secondary to potential renal infarction, as read on ct. **** # pulmonary hypertension: the patient was initially started on sildenafil, but this was discontinued when it was revealed that she had not been on this medication since the spring, when it was assessed that she was not benefitting from it. # diabetes: last hba1c on record was 10.5% in . her home oral hypoglycemics including metformin were held, and she was placed on an insulin sliding scale. **** micu course: pt transfered to the micu s/p cardiac arrest and resuscitation. she was placed on the hypothermic protocol. concern for pe as etiology for arrest, however cta negative for pe. ep consulted who felt pacer was functioning appropriately. pt had several episodes of a fib with rvr that responded to diltiazem. her uop started to drop and pressor support was increased. after several family meetings she was initially made dnr, however blood pressure continued to drop and family did not wish to pursue aggresive care. she was made cmo and was extubated and made comfortable. she expired shortly thereafter. medications on

sob and htn: the patient presented to the ed with fluid overload and hypertensive urgency and was started on a nipride drip. on transition to the inpatient setting he was converted to a labetalol drip to avoid buildup of cyanide biproducts while he awaited hemodialysis. his dyspnea was well controlled on reaching the floor and remained well controlled throughout his hospital stay. his hypertension continued to be an issue following his first dialysis session, despite the removal of 5.2 l of fluid during that session. he was continued on labetalol drip to maintain sbp < 180 with 160 as target. following his second dialysis treatment on hospital day 2, he weighed 57kg, which was considered his new dry weight. for improved bp control, he was started on 20 mg lisinopril per recommendation of the renal team. he also continued his outpatient regimen of 160 diovan and 50 atenolol qd. although his pressure was better controlled, he still had breaks into the 180s and his pressure control will need to be optimized as an outpatient. . renal: the patient had recently transitioned from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis, which was apparently insufficient, resulting in fluid overload, hypertension and admission. the patient was discharged with plans to resume hemodialysis at his previous hemodialysis center under the care of his outpatient nephrologist. his next hemodialysis treatment was scheduled for wed. . . hiv: the patient's haart regimen was continued. . anemia: continue epogen at hd. . # fevers: the patient briefly spiked a fever on and underwent non-con ct of the chest. he had increasing cough as well. sputum and blood cultures were negative. the patient's non-con chest ct demonstrated a peripheral wedge shaped opacity, and the patient was started on vancomycin and zosyn, given his relative immunosuppression and his recent hospitalization with full course of levofloxacin. a follow-up cta was done to rule out pe and showed complete resolution of the wedge shaped area, which presumably was simply atelectasis. however, the lung was not entirely clear, and it was felt prudent to continue an day course of iv antibiotics. for this reason, the patient was dosed one gram of ceftazadine and one gram of vancomycin following his dialysis on , and he was written a prescription to receive one gram of vancomycin and one gram of ceftazadine after each of his dialysis sessions on and . (and then the course would end). on the day of discharge, the patient's nasal viral swab returned positive for parainfluenza virus. as discussed with id, the patient's ct and clinical findings could all be explained by parainfluenza virus, but there was also a significant chance for bacterial superinfection. thus, the antibiotic course was planned as described above. . he was also scheduled for followup with his infectious disease physicians on . . medications on admission: gabapentin 100 mg tid atenolol 50 mg po daily valsartan 160mg compazine prn insulin (nph 10 u and regular 5 u qam) tenofovir 300 mg po qsat ritonavir 100 mg p.o. daily atazanavir 300 mg p.o. daily stavudine (zerit) 20 mg po qhd days after hd lamivudine (epivir) 25 mg po after hd on hd days discharge medications: 1. gabapentin 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po tid (3 times a day). 2. tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po qsat (every saturday). 3. ritonavir 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po daily (daily). 4. atazanavir 150 mg capsule sig: two (2) capsule po daily (daily). 5. stavudine 20 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po q24h (every 24 hours). 6. lamivudine 10 mg/ml solution sig: twenty five (25) mg po daily (daily): take orally after hemodialysis on hemodialysis days. . 7. atenolol 50 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 8. valsartan 160 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 9. lisinopril 20 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 10. prochlorperazine 5 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for nausea. 11. zolpidem 5 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po hs (at bedtime) as needed. 12. benzonatate 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po tid (3 times a day) as needed for cough. disp:*20 capsule(s)* refills:*2* 13. insulin nph human recomb 100 unit/ml cartridge sig: per regimen subcutaneous twice a day. 14. ceftazidime 1 g recon soln sig: one (1) intravenous at dialysis for 2 doses: patient should receive 1 gram of ceftazadime administered at his dialysis center after dialysis on and . . disp:*2 doses* refills:*0* 15. vancomycin 1,000 mg recon soln sig: one (1) g intravenous at dialysis for 2 doses: 1 gram, to be given after dialysis at 5/9 and . disp:*2 doses* refills:*0* discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: end stage renal disease requiring regular hemodialysis parainfluenza viral infection hiv hypertensive urgency volume overload discharge condition: good discharge instructions: you were admitted with elevated blood pressure and respiratory difficulty which improved with dialysis. however, your blood pressure continues to be elevated at times throughout the day. you will need to work with your clinic physicians to improve your blood pressure. elevated blood pressures for a long period of time with increase your risk of stroke and heart disease. . you have a cough and imaging of your chest showed that you may have a small infection. for this you need to have iv antibiotics (ceftazadine and vancomycin) administered at your next two dialysis sessions on wednesday and friday . you have been given prescriptions for these two antibiotics and your physician at dialysis has been informed. . in addition, you should check your temperature on a daily basis and any time that you feel sick. if you have a temperature greater than 100.4 that does not resolve quickly, you should call your primary care physician. . you had testing for tuberculosis during this hospitalization which was negative. one of your tests is still pending. if this test is positive, you will be contact. your physicians at also will have access to these results when you come in for appointments. . you will need regular dialysis. your next dialysis is scheduled for wednesday, at 6:45 am. it is vital that you do not miss . . please keep your other appointments listed in the appointments section. these doctors help with your blood pressure. . you have been started on a new blood pressure medication called lisinopril. you should take this medication as prescribed, and continued taking your other blood pressure medications. followup instructions: dialysis at your regular dialysis center: wednesday, at 6:45 am. . provider: . phone: date/time: 10:00 . provider: , md phone: date/time: 9:10 md, procedure: hemodialysis diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified end stage renal disease congestive heart failure, unspecified polyneuropathy in diabetes human immunodeficiency virus [hiv] disease hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage v or end stage renal disease unspecified hereditary and idiopathic peripheral neuropathy diabetes with neurological manifestations, type i [juvenile type], not stated as uncontrolled restless legs syndrome (rls) Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

costophrenic angle, this is new since the prior examination and may represent a focus of consolidation. followup chest radiograph is advised to clearance. left lung is clear. the cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. echocardiogram: the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-10mmhg. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). transmitral and tissue doppler imaging suggests normal diastolic function, and a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the findings are similar. if clinically suggested, the absence of a vegetation by 2d echocardiography does not exclude endocarditis. ct scan: 1. multiple new lower lobe, subpleural predominant poorly defined nodules, a few of which demonstrate cavitation. considering history of previous septic emboli, recurrent septic emboli are a likely possibility. differential diagnosis includes granulomatous infections (fungal and mycobacterial), vasculitis, and, less likely, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (rarely cavitary). 2. splenomegaly with marked increase in size of spleen since recent study, incompletely evaluated due to incomplete imaging. brief hospital course: patient came to the er for fever, chills, sob after using his left portho-cath for his tpn. in the ed: vs were

101.3f with rigors, for which he received tylenol with good response. given the pulmonary symptoms and recent chest ct scan, he also received levofloxacin. ua was negative. he was admitted to the icu for further care. in the micu mr. had blood cultures done (which were negative) and was started on vancomycin/ceftriaxone (day 1 ). patient kept spiking fevers up to 102 f. patient had a repeat cxr that showed an infiltrate in the l lower lobe. patient received 3 l of ns to increase his sbp >90. then paitent's bp was stable for the next ~24 horus. patient had a tte that ruled out endocarditis and was transfered to the medical floor on 2. since patient requiring 6-week course of antibiotics it was decided not to pursue tee, since it would not change management. on arrival to the floor patient spiked a temp of 102. he was given standing tylenol and iv fluids. cultures were tried from the portho-cath, but was no longer working. cultures were taken from the peripheral blood (negative) and fungal studies were sent due to prior history of cadida sepsis and a cavitary lesion in the lung. surgery was consulted and the portho-cath was removed later this day. patient was afebrile the following day. cultures came back positive for s aureus, so ceftriaxone was stopped. on a 3 lumen picc line was placed. patient was stable and improving. however, beta-d-glucan came back at 412. infectious disease was consulted and suggested a repeat measurement to check for trend and possible biopsy of the pulmonary lesion if increasing. id agreed with 6-week course of iv antibiotics due to

this unusual, and infectious etiologies, particularly given the surrounding ground glass. 3. slight interval increase in the previously described large left adrenal mass, as discussed previously. the overall stability of the configuration and lack of a large change in mass makes this unlikely to account for a large hematocrit drop. cxr pa and lat: impression: chf. increased opacity in the left

malaria

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 56 year old woman with past medical history of ulcerative colitis who was transferred from hospital for further management of bilateral pneumonia and pancytopenia. patient's present illness began in when colonoscopy revealed mild inflammatory changes consistent with ulcerative colitis. in she had a uc flare with increasing frequency of bloody diarrhea and was treated with prednisone for weeks without result. eventually in she was admitted to hospital where she was treated with iv steroids, metronidazole, iv fluids and ppn with good effect. however, every time that it was attempted to wean her from iv to p.o. steroids, her symptoms flared again. ultimately she received one dose of remicade 300 mg in early with good response after four to five days and was then treated with p.o. steroids, asacol and 6-mercaptopurine. she was discontinued from visiting nurses on from that hospitalization. prior to discharge then her lfts were normal. patient was seen in followup on at which time her lfts were noted to rise and 6-mercaptopurine was discontinued. her uc remained well controlled. it was also noted at that visit from routine labs that her white blood cell count was 1.7 and it was felt that she was pancytopenic due to bone marrow toxicity from 6-mercaptopurine. she was treated with two doses of neupogen on and . she then presented to the outside hospital with complaints of weakness, fever, chills and a chest x-ray showing bilateral pneumonia. for difficulty with oxygenation, patient was begun on bipap. she was given nebulizers and iv steroids. she was treated with neupogen and started on epo. patient was then transferred to for further management. at the time of transfer patient reported improvement in her cough, but still complained of fever and chills. she denied shortness of breath except with activity. she denies abdominal pain, diarrhea, chest pain or leg pain. past medical history: ulcerative colitis. diabetes secondary to chronic steroids. pancytopenia secondary to 6-mercaptopurine. allergies: 6-mercaptopurine. medications on transfer: vancomycin 1 gm q.18 hours, levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q.day, ceftazidime 2 gm q.12 hours, neupogen 480 mcg subcu q.day, albuterol nebs, atrovent nebs, atenolol 25 mg p.o. q.day, decadron 1 mg q.six hours, pepcid 20 mg iv q.day, glyburide 10 mg p.o. q.day, insulin sliding scale, mesalamine 1200 mg t.i.d., paxil 20 mg q.day, tylenol, morphine p.r.n. social history: the patient lives with her husband. denies use of tobacco. had no sick contacts. recent travel. no pets. physical examination: on admission patient had a low grade temperature of 100.6, heart rate 96, blood pressure 104/56, respiratory rate 26, o2 sat 100% on nonrebreather. in general, she was very pleasant. she was in no acute distress. she was oriented times three. heent exam revealed scleral icterus. pupils were reactive bilaterally. she had no jvd. heart exam was regular without murmur. lungs revealed decreased breath sounds at the bases bilaterally, but were otherwise clear to auscultation bilaterally. she was not in respiratory distress at the time and was not using any accessory muscles for breathing. abdominal exam was benign with no hepatosplenomegaly. extremities revealed 2+ pitting edema to the knees bilaterally with 2+ dp pulses. laboratory data: labs at the time of admission were significant for sodium 131, potassium 3.5, elevated bun and creatinine of 16 and 1.2 respectively, hyperglycemia with glucose of 191. cbc revealed white blood cell count of 1.2, hematocrit 23.6, platelets 71. lfts revealed alt of 202, ast 97, alka phos 363, amylase 89, total protein 4.5, direct bili 5.0, ldh 662. tsh was checked and was 0.96. coags were within normal limits. abg on arrival was 7.47, 31, 66 and that was on 100% nonrebreather. hospital course: 1. pulmonary. at the time of transfer the patient was on antibiotics for coverage of community acquired pneumonia. in this immunosuppressed patient with pancytopenia as well as the fact that she was in the process of weaning from steroids, it was very concerning that she was infected with pneumocystis pneumonia. for this she was started empirically on primaquine and clindamycin. treatment with bactrim was precluded by the fact that it is myelosuppressive and patient was pancytopenic. bipap was initiated on the day of admission because of poor oxygenation. on the night of admission patient awoke acutely agitated, screaming with acute hypoxemic event. patient was sedated and intubated. the following morning bronchoscopy was performed with bal which returned positive for pneumocystis. primaquine and clinda were continued given her pancytopenia as were other antibiotics for community acquired pneumonia pending respiratory culture from bal. when the culture returned negative, those antibiotics were discontinued and she was continued only on treatment for pcp. addition to primaquine and clindamycin she was begun on prednisone, initially 40 mg p.o. b.i.d. as extrapolated from treatment of pcp in hiv patients. she was treated with a taper of 40 mg b.i.d. for five days, followed by 40 mg q.day for five days, followed by 20 mg q.day for 11 days. after treatment with neupogen for three days, all patient's cell lines responded appropriately and her antibiotics were changed from clindamycin and primaquine to bactrim. with worsening of her infiltrate on chest x-ray, patient's oxygenation worsened as well. fio2 and peep were both titrated upward to maintain good oxygenation, at its worst requiring fio2 of 0.7 and peep of 22. peep and fio2 were attempted to be weaned daily unsuccessfully. throughout her admission in the icu she exhibited frequent bronchospasm with a very strong gag reflex which would lead to desaturation. for this her sedation was often increased, however, despite high levels of fentanyl and versed, patient was awake throughout the bulk of her hospitalization. on patient tolerated weaning of peep to as low as 8, however, ultimately desated, requiring increasing levels again as high as 18. on sputum gram stain was sent which was positive for gram positive cocci, ultimately returned as mrsa. patient was started on vancomycin empirically for mrsa ventilator associated pneumonia for which she was treated for 14 days. this treatment was begun on . because of the prolonged course of her infection and the inability to wean, tracheostomy was entertained, however, not performed. on an attempt at extubation was performed. patient became immediately stridulous and hypoxemic and was immediately reintubated. she remained stable throughout that night and extubation was performed again the following day with heliox. she tolerated extubation successfully and continued to both oxygenate and ventilate well with supplemental oxygen that was able to be weaned over the subsequent three days. at the time of transfer from the intensive care unit to the floor, patient was in room air and oxygenating well. 2. gi. as above, patient was continued on steroids, both for pcp as well as for treatment of ulcerative colitis. once intubated p.o. mesalamine was not possible, therefore, she was treated with mesalamine enemas. lfts were followed daily and rapidly improved as 6-mercaptopurine toxicity wore off. right upper quadrant ultrasound was performed to rule out cholestatic pathology as a cause of the elevated lfts. right upper quadrant ultrasound was normal. from the time of admission patient did not have any bloody stool. on patient's abdomen was noted to be slightly distended and an abdominal flat plate was performed which showed two air fluid levels. as patient was found to have decreased stool output, cat scan of the abdomen was performed to rule out obstruction which was negative. patient was given a more aggressive bowel regimen including lactulose with limited result. she was continued on mesalamine enemas. ultimately the bowel regimen was successful with five bowel movements on and at this time patient was found to have heme positive stool. gi, who was following, recommended continuing treatment with mesalamine and steroids and no other change in therapy for uc at that time. with continuing loose stool output, patient was checked multiple times for c.diff which was negative times three. nutrition was consulted regarding different tube feeds to help maximize absorption. she was changed to criticare at that point and shortly thereafter noted a decrease in loose stools. her stool also ceased to be guaiac positive. at the time of transfer to the floor, patient was having scant amount of loose, heme negative, brown stool with gi continuing to follow. she was continued on mesalamine and steroids as above. 3. cardiovascular. throughout her hospital course, the patient was found to be tachycardiac rarely with a heart rate below 100. it was felt that patient had multiple reasons for tachycardia including hypovolemia, anemia, hypoxemia, fever, agitation, discomfort, etc. patient's blood pressure initially was stable and she presented from the outside hospital on atenolol. this was initially continued, but changed to lopressor for easier titration. however, due to ensuing hypotension, her beta blocker was held. upon admission because of patient's pancytopenia, she was initially transfused two units of packed red blood cells to correct her anemia. with this her heart rate did slow to the high 90s to low 100s, but again she continued to be tachycardiac. with correction of all obvious causes of sinus tachycardia as listed above, patient continued to be tachycardiac, leaving the most likely cause of her tachycardia to be that of agitation/anxiety. on patient complained of some chest discomfort which sounded atypical. however, despite her persistent tachycardia there was concern for ischemia. electrocardiogram was checked with no change from her baseline. cks were cycled which were negative times three. lopressor again was used transiently during this episode for fear of ischemia, however, was discontinued after patient ruled out for mi as again she was having sinus tachycardia and not requiring specific therapy. 4. infectious disease. the patient was treated for pcp pneumonia as above. likewise she was treated for mrsa pneumonia as above. approximately three days into patient's hospitalization she became hypotensive requiring pressors. she was started on neo-synephrine to control her blood pressure and was given multiple fluid boluses as well. over the course of her icu stay she was able to be weaned from neo-synephrine. frequently it was often restarted for short periods of time as needed. 5. heme. as above, the patient was pancytopenic secondary to 6-mercaptopurine treatment. patient was continued on neupogen from the time of admission and hematology was consulted. they recommended that neupogen be continued until the white count was sustained above 5000. neupogen was discontinued after a total of four days. no further dosing was needed. patient's white count remained stable and bumped appropriately in the setting of infection. likewise, her platelets remained stable, not requiring any transfusions. patient was intermittently transfused packed red blood cells at a threshold of hemoglobin of 7 or hematocrit of 21. anemia was likely due to both chronic disease and frequent phlebotomy. 6. fen. because of her hypotension and sepsis, the patient received multiple fluid boluses and became very volume overloaded. her lytes were checked daily and repleted on a p.r.n. basis. ultimately patient was approximately 15 liters positive and with resolution of her sepsis, auto-diuresed frequently to the point of becoming hypotensive, requiring replacement of that fluid. at the time of transfer from the intensive care unit, her volume status was euvolemic and she had diuresed off all of her excess volume and was no longer edematous. 7. neuro. upon extubation it was noted that the patient was very depressed and unable to speak. initially there was concern for airway obstruction including laryngeal edema. however, it became more obvious that it was more due to depression than an anatomic problem. psychiatry was consulted regarding the possibility of post traumatic stress disorder, given patient's level of wakefulness during her intubation. it was felt that she was most likely delirious both from her prolonged stay in the icu as well as lingering effects of sedation that she had received. studies were performed including b-12, folate, tsh and rpr, all of which were normal. patient's paxil was doubled from 20 to 40 mg. an eeg was performed which showed findings consistent with diffuse encephalopathy. subsequently a head ct was performed which was normal. at the time of transfer from the unit patient continued to be extremely withdrawn and tearful, avoiding eye contact and not speaking above a rare faint whisper. 8. access. upon admission to the icu, the patient had a left subclavian triple lumen catheter placed. when becoming febrile, this line was changed to a right internal jugular triple lumen catheter. again after becoming bacteremic, this line was changed to a left internal jugular triple lumen. in addition, patient also had a right radial a-line placed. this line was removed accidentally by patient and was replaced in the left arm. at the time of transfer out of the unit, all of these lines were discontinued. this dictation covers the hospital course from admission on through transfer to the medical floor on . the remainder of hospital stay will be done by the accepting intern on the service. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: venous

Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is 49 year-old man who was transferred to us from for treatment of his liver failure and evaluation for liver transplantation. since he cannot give any history the history is recorded from his records and reported by his wife. is a 49 year-old man who by vocation is a car salesman who is known to have hepatitis for about 15 to 19 years. he has been followed by his primary care physician for this. over the last six months to one year he has been getting increasingly ill and has been complaining of confusion, fatigue and mild jaundice. in the middle of approximately a month and a half ago he experienced worsening confusion and some shortness of breath, which led him to going to an outside hospital. at this hospital he was found to be in liver failure acutely sick and was transferred to for further care. his initial evaluation raised the possibility of cholangitis along with his primary liver failure from hepatitis. given this consideration he received an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and removal of stones and sludge from his biliary tree. despite endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, however, his primary disease was believed to be liver failure from his hepatitis, which was the primary reason for his progression into kidney failure officially given him the diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome. due to his worsening hepatorenal syndrome and worsening mental status he was transferred to for further care and consideration for liver transplantation. past medical history: hepatitis b and c, history of intravenous drug abuse six years ago, history of ethanol abuse in the distant past up to approximately ten years ago. gastroesophageal reflux disease. status post laminectomy. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications at home: protonix, lactulose, lasix, clindamycin, spironolactone. medications on transfer: levofloxacin, flagyl, lactulose, albuterol, zantac. family history: no history of cancer or liver failure. mother died of myocardial infarction at age 60. physical examination: temperature 97.2. pulse 95. blood pressure 112/40. respirations 31. o2 sat is 95 percent on vent support. intubated, sedated and jaundice frail looking man with truncal obesity secondary to fluid. heart examination shows a regular heart. there is no lymphadenopathy. there are no carotid bruits. there are no oral lesions and the pupils are equal and reactive. lung examination shows decreased breath sounds in the right chest. abdominal examination shows a soft, but distended abdomen without any incisions or apparent guarding. rectal examination shows rectal bag with melena. extremity examination shows jaundiced extremities with peripheral deconditioning and mild edema. pulse examination shows palpable bilateral femoral radial and dorsalis pedis pulses. laboratories on admission: white blood cell count 12.3, hematocrit 27.9, platelet count 75, pt 19.8, ptt 44, inr 2.5, fibrinogen of 134, potassium 5.9, sodium 153, bun of 126, creatinine of 4.4, glucose 126, alkaline phosphatase was 75, total bilirubin of 34. chest x-ray shows a right hydrothorax. hospital course: the patient was transferred to the under conditions described above in the history of present illness. on arrival he was extremely confused, agitated and short of breath. this required immediate intubation for control of his airway. immediate evaluation was begun for consideration for liver transplantation. on arrival he received a head ct, which showed no infarcts or hemorrhage. he received an ultrasound of his liver, which showed patent vessels. he received a swan ganz catheter for optimal hemodynamic management and a dialysis access line for continuous dialysis. he also required a right chest thoracentesis for huge right hepatohydrothorax and a paracentesis for 6 liters for increased abdominal girth. his neurological status upon intubation was unresponsive, not following commands, moving all four extremities, occasionally and withdrawing to pain without reliability. after initial studies for consideration of liver transplantation the patient also received an esophagogastroduodenoscopy study secondary to melena, which was noticed on transfer. the esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed varices in the esophagus and dried blood in the stomach, but no active bleeding. the hospital course was prolonged and complicated and will be summarized below by systems. neurologically, on arrival the patient was extremely agitated and intermittently unresponsive requiring intubation for protection of his airway. after intubation the best mental status was occasional movement of all extremities, which over the first 24 hours deteriorated to no response and no withdraw to pain. despite being off sedation from to he did not regain any neurological signs of alertness. he received a head ct scan on arrival, which was negative for any hemorrhage or ischemia. at the end of his hospital course once he was made comfort measures only he was placed on intravenous morphine for comfort until his death. cardiovascular, the patient was found to be hypodynamic by his heart rate and cardiac output on arrival. on his arrival to he received a right internal jugular swan ganz line placement. during his subsequent hospital course he was managed through his swan ganz numbers to optimize his cardiac output and peripheral resistance. he did not suffer from any instability during the course, however, his blood pressure continued to remain on the lower side with the systolics between to 100. eventually approximately five days into his hospital course he required neo-synephrine support to maintain his blood pressure. neo-synephrine was continued in moderate doses until it was determined that he will not be a candidate for a liver transplantation. respiratory, the patient arrived with a large right hepatohydrothorax in his right chest. this hydrothorax was drained on arrival for 2700 cc of serosanguineous fluid. he was managed on the ventilator with a goal pco2 of 35 to optimize his cerebral function. over the course of his hospital stay he reaccumulated the right hydrothorax requiring higher peeps for support. this required right sided pigtail catheter placement on . this catheter was in place until the time of his death and functioning properly. gastrointestinal, the patient presented with acute liver failure with bilirubins of 34. this bilirubin progressed to a level of 45 over his hospital course. he was treated with lactulose to minimize his hepatic encephalopathy. he was considered for liver transplantation, however, given his comorbidities and unstable status including an extremely poor neurological status he was deemed non transplantable. the patient also presented to our hospital with a gastrointestinal bleed, which was presumed very likely to be an upper gastrointestinal bleed. this was confirmed with upper endoscope, which showed dried blood in the stomach and esophageal varices. in the middle of his hospital course on he was noticed to have bright blood coming from his nasogastric tube. this required progressive transfusions and corrections of his coags. a scope was placed again and multiple bands were performed again and the multiple bands were placed for banding esophageal varices. two days after the banding procedure on he developed an upper gastrointestinal bleed again, which required placement of a tube with a gastric balloon for control of hemorrhage. this tube was continued for 24 hours before its discontinuation and subsequently later the patient was made comfort measures only. infectious disease, the patient was treated with empiric vancomycin and zosyn for prevention of infections, which may lead to sepsis, which he will not tolerate given his tenuous state. he was cultured routinely for surveillance cultures and did not develop any sepsis by culture or physiology during his course. his antibiotic levels were dosed according to his renal function. renal, the patient presented to us in complete renal failure with a diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome. he was placed on continuous hemodialysis through a right femoral hemodialysis access line. he was maintained on this until when he was deemed non transplantable. hematology, the patient required continued transfusions of platelets, fresh frozen platelets, and blood to maintain his platelet level over 80, inr level less then 2 and hematocrits about 28. increasing amount of blood products were given during his upper gastrointestinal bleed. on hospital day four he was placed on an fresh frozen platelets drip to support his coagulation status awaiting improvement in his neurological status. since this improvement did not come the transfusions were stopped on prior to his demise. endocrine, the patient maintained adequate blood sugar levels during his course. social support, the patient was seen by our social workers through the transplant office and the family was provided with as much support as possible during this difficult time. code status, the patient failed to improve neurologically over nine days of his hospital stay and continued to show no signs of progress despite aggressive care. eventually he also developed significant gastrointestinal bleed, which required aggressive support to maintain life. given this he was deemed to be a very poor candidate for liver transplantation with almost no survival benefit should a transplant be attempted. given this he was deemed non transplantable and the family was made aware of this. after extensive discussions he was made comfort measures only on and expired at 5:45 p.m. on . morphine was started after comfort measures only code status was implemented. discharge disposition: death. discharge diagnoses: liver failure. renal failure. hepatitis b. hepatitis c. hepatic encephalopathy. gastroesophageal reflux

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 78-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer for which he received radiation in . he has a history of stage i a nonsmall cell lung ca diagnosed in which he underwent a right upper lobectomy in . he has been followed and has had no evidence of recurrent or metastatic malignancy. a recent follow-up chest ct demonstrated a 3 cm hypervascular mass at the junction of the left and right lobes of the liver and possibly a 2nd subcapsular-hypervascular mass in the right lobe. he underwent a liver biopsy on that demonstrated poorly differentiated malignancy consistent with hepatocellular carcinoma. on a triphasic ct, a normal sized liver was noted with an ovoid hyperattenuating lesion measuring 3.8 x 3.7 x 3.6 cm in segment 4 of the liver with enhancement pattern typical of hepatocellular carcinoma. on the posterior-superior aspect of the lesion, there were at least 3 subcentimeter nodular areas of hypoattenuation that was suspicious for local satellite nodules. the dome of segment 8 of the liver had a 6-7 mm area of subnodular hyperattenuation which showed washout on the delayed phase. this was suspicious for small lesion. a preoperative evaluation was done and the patient was found to be suitable for surgical resection. patient was taken to the or on for left hepatic lobectomy, cholecystectomy, an intraoperative ultrasound by dr. , assistant was , m.d. patient received general anesthesia. ebl was 500 cc. he was replaced with 2,500 cc of crystalloid and 1,500 cc of albumin. urine output was 200 cc of urine. please see operative note for further details. past medical history: lung ca, hypertension, afib, prostate cancer. past surgical history: status post lung cancer resection, prostatectomy. medications at home: norvasc 10 mg p.o. daily, lisinopril 10 mg p.o. daily, folic acid 1 daily, neurontin 600 mg p.o. b.i.d., and aspirin daily. allergies: patient has no known drug allergies. brief hospital course: as previously stated, the patient was taken to the or on for left hepatic lobectomy, cholecystectomy, and intraoperative ultrasound. he was recovered in the pacu. patient was very agitated. he was medicated with haldol with effect. he was given dilaudid for pain. heart rate was 110-120 and in sinus tachycardia. urine output was less than 30 cc an hour. he had a temperature of 102.1. he was given a fluid bolus for decreased urine output and lopressor x1 with excellent effect. he was pancultured for temperature of 102. blood and urine cultures were subsequently negative on . he had decreased agitation after the haldol, but this reoccurred. he was attempting to get out of bed. ativan 1 mg was given with decreased agitation. patient appeared to be agitated and hallucinating. ativan was repeated. a chest x- ray was done that demonstrated central venous catheter in satisfactory position with no evidence of pneumothorax. patient was transferred to the sicu. it was suspected that the patient had a delirium tremens. patient reportedly drank on a daily basis at home. in the sicu, he was confused and agitated at times. vital signs were afebrile, heart rate in the 100s and in afib rhythm. bp ranged between 150/60-120/65 with cvp of 12, o2 saturation of 99%. he seemed to respond to haldol and ativan, according his ciwa scale. his lfts postoperatively were ast 75, alt 137, alkaline phosphatase 95, total bilirubin 1.7. patient was initially npo. mental status could not tolerate eating during to agitation and confusion. ammonia level was 52. he was maintained on iv heparin t.i.d. as he was on bed rest. he seemed to respond well to the ativan. he was given dilaudid for pain. afib was treated with lopressor. spent approximately 5 days in the sicu. he was given tpn as he was npo. on , he had a nutrition consult. it was noted that the patient was tolerating tpn well. speech and swallow evaluation was ordered. these findings included recommendations to keep the patient npo and to continue tpn as the patient was demonstrating overt signs and symptoms of aspiration with thin liquids and this was related to the positive poor mental status secondary to delirium tremens. on postop day 7, he was transferred to the medical surgical unit. he was placed on telemetry. his heart rate was in the 90s-100s, irregular. it was controlled. lungs were clear. his incision was open to air. staples were intact. on his abdominal incision, he had a jp draining serosanguineous output. foley was draining concentrated urine. had a 1-to-1 sitter. patient was oriented to self at times. he was on 4 liters nasal cannula at 100%. he had a waxing and mental status. he denied any pain. he continued to have a cough with scattered rhonchi at the lung bases. he was encouraged to cough in an attempt to raise mucus. he was maintained on o2 4 liters via nasal cannula for saturations in the high 90s ranging 98%. he had a central line and continued to receive tpn. he underwent a duplex ultrasound on to assess the portal vein and to assess for bile duct dilatation. this ultrasound of the liver demonstrated slightly echogenic right lobe of the liver and status post left liver lobe resection. a head ct was done as well. this demonstrated no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage. on postop day 7, he had a low grade temperature of 100.6. his respiratory rate was up to 30 breaths per minute, o2 saturation was 99 on 3 liters. he appeared somewhat restless. he was given iv dilaudid with good response. his labs were ast of 57, alt 119, alkaline phosphatase 96, t bilirubin 0.7. creatinine was 0.7 with a bun of 24. an occupational therapy evaluation was done as well as physical therapy evaluation. it was noted that patient had impaired functional ability and impaired cognition. he was significantly limited in completing adls and mobility. it was recommended that the patient continue ot. rehab was recommended to maximize the patient's performance. on postop day 9, the patient's mental status was slightly improved. but he still experienced some agitation intermittently. vital signs are stable. lfts were stable. he was still npo with a temperature of 101 max. he was up and out of bed with assistance. an ultrasound on demonstrated an echogenic right liver lobe, no duct dilatation, common bile duct at 3 mm, portal vein was patent with normal flow. foley was removed. patient was incontinent of large amounts of urine. condom catheter was placed on the patient. white blood cell count was 8.4, hematocrit 33.4. he required max assist to get out of the chair. he continued to receive intermittent doses of haldol. a bedside swallow evaluation was repeated. recommendations included keeping the patient npo. his mental status had not improved enough. placement of ng tube for nutrition and hydration was recommended. a urine culture was done that demonstrated e. coli greater than 100,000 colonies pansensitive. he was started on levaquin. fevers defervesced. blood cultures on were negative. repeat blood cultures on and repeat urine cultures on were subsequently negative. he became extremely agitated. he was medicated with haldol. haldol was repeated again for agitation. on , he seems to be more oriented and more himself, speaking coherent, but often nonsensically. he remains on a 1- to-1 sitter for safety. he was started on ancef 1 gram q.8. for abdominal incision erythema. on , he spiked a temperature at 102. he had blood cultures and urine cultures repeated. these were subsequently negative. his incision was opened and few staples were removed. he continued to have a mild amount of serosanguineous drainage. wet-to-dry normal saline dressings were changed b.i.d. on , he had a t. max of 103.5. blood and urine cultures were repeated. these were subsequently found to be negative. his temperature decreased. iv vancomycin was given. portable chest x-ray was done. chest x-ray demonstrated improved fluid status versus prior chest x-ray. no pneumonia or bilateral effusion was noted. ekg was done that demonstrated a probable multifocal atrial tachycardia with nonspecific st wave changes. afib was absent. fevers persisted in the 102 range intermittently. an abdominal ct was done on to assess for fluid collection/abscess/bile leak. the ct demonstrated left hepatectomy, there was evidence of a thin sliver of fluid extending along the surface. it was noted that there was probably a small subcapsular component along the medial resection margin, a small amount of residual hypoattenuation was noted within the dome of the liver of undetermined significance, and there was persistent portal venous thrombosis identified. of note, the patient's mental status became clearer. he was more appropriate and pleasant. his ativan and haldol had been stopped. the psychiatry rn had been in to visit the patient and assess him and recommended stopping ativan. a repeat physical therapy evaluation was done. it was noted that the patient was much improved. given improved mental status, he was out of bed and tolerating regular diet. his lfts were trending down. fever was resolving on vancomycin. he had been started on zosyn. his wound incision was open to air with staples. he continued to receive b.i.d. dressing changes. he was started on a heparin drip at 500 units an hour. this was subsequently discontinued after review ct findings by dr. . dietician followed the patient. she recommended boost plus supplements 3 times a day until appetite improved. he had been previously cleared by speech and swallow evaluation. after his mental status had improved, he was able to swallow without any problems. was alert and oriented. he was pleasant and cooperative. he denied any pain. he was eating small amounts and urinating clear amber-colored urine. lungs were clear. he was out of bed with supervision. he received rehab. pt and ot continue to work with him. iv

dvt brief hospital course: 66 y/o male with h/o ckd (1.0-1.5), cad s/p mi, chf (ef 30%), pvd, dm2, afib (coumadin) w/ icd+pm, s/p right colectomy for cecal volvulus and recent prolonged iv vanco therapy for left foot diabetic foot/om, left shoulder soft tissue infection and mrsa bacteremia, who presented from rehab with acute on crf (cr 3.1 bun 122) and in shock requiring levophed drip and concern for urosepsis. now significantly improved. . active issues . # hypotension: intially secondary to urosepsis with a hypovolemia component due to poor po intake and large ostomy output. hypotensive to 70's in ed, given fluids and started on levophed. levophed was weaned on hospital day #4. his pressures have remained on the lower end, often in the 90s systolic, however he tolerates this well with no symptoms and adequate urine output. he has responded well to intermittent boluses of 500-1000cc lr for low pressures in the 80s systolic. he will need continued bp monitoring at rehab with lr boluses as needed for sbp >80. additionally, he will require lr to keep up with output from his ostomy. he will need to be monitored on telemetry. # sepsis: hypotension requiring a pressor and hypothermia on admission, not tachycardic but has a pacemaker that likely blunted his response to sepsis. never had leukocytosis, but still had a high suspicion for sepsis secondary to infection. id was consulted on admission, given that he has a long history of infections and was actively being followed by id as an outpatient ( ). uti was a known source on admission, which urine culture here confirmed (please see below for uti details). blood cultures all remained negative. other possible etiologies considered were muscle abcess in his trapezius, icd pocket infection, osteomyelitis of foot and/or spine, or gi source. chest us was negative for trapezius or chest abcess, and echo showed no vegetations on pacer wires or valves. he was seen by podiatry, who did not feel that he had any active osteomyelitis in his foot and would not benefit from surgery. he was started on bactrim ds for 10 day course for complicated uti. following this treatment, he will need to continue on daily bactrim ds for suppressive therapy from his past mrsa infections. . # uti: urine culture from (at rehab) and (at ) both grew proteus and gnrs (sparse, not speciated). started on full strength bactrim on for planned 10 day course for complicated uti. had chronic indwelling foley due to complications of bph as well as immobility. foley was initially changed, then pulled completely on . he has been unable to void on his own at this point despite bladder training, so he will need ongoing bladder training with bladder scans and straight cath'ing every 6 hours until he is fully re-trained and able to void on his own. # acute on chronic renal failure: cr on admission elevated to 3.3 from recent baseline 1.3-1.6. likely etiology is pre-renal, given fena < 1%, d/t hypovolemia to poor po intake, high ostomy output, and urosepsis. he also had recent hx of interstitial nephritis to iv vanco (worsening renal functions and eosinophilia), however he does not have peripheral eosinophilia or active urine sediment now. he was aggressively fluid repleted with good improvement in function. all medications were renally dosed. creatinine improved to baseline level of 1.6 on discharge. # failure to thrive/depression: noted to have a down mood during his hospital stay, did not have much appetite or motivation to get out of bed to chair. he became tearful at one point and expressed frustration and depression about his recent illnesses. he was started on citalopram, and social work was consulted. his appetite had not improved much on his outpatient regimen of dronabinol and his inr was supratherapeutic (dronabinol affects coumadin metabolism), so his regimen was changed to megestrol daily. he was seen by nutrition, who recommended supplementing his diet with boost/glucerna as possible. tpn or tube feeds would be an option if he is not getting adequate calories from po nutrition, however at this point would like to avoid those options. per their discussion, it is recommended that he is provided cans strawberry or chocolate glucerna/boost with meals. he also is mostly edentulous, so he will need to continue on a soft diet. as for his decreased strength, he will need rehab placement on discharge in order to continue building his strength. podiatry has recommended a post-op shoe for his r foot and a conventional shoe for the l foot once his is mobile again. . # supratherapeutic inr: on coumadin chronically for atrial fibrillation. on admission, inr was elevated to 6.4. he was given vitamin k to reverse the inr, and then uptitrated again on his coumadin. inr on discharge is 3.4, so he should have his coumadin dose held tonight (). going forward, he will restart his coumadin at a half dose of 2.5 mg due to the interactions with bactim. he will need continued monitoring of his inr and adjustment of his coumadin dose at his rehab center. . # hypothyroidism: tsh was checked given patient's low mood, low enegy, and relative bradycardia, and it was found to be slightly elevated. free t4 was also low, indicating hypothyroidism, so he was started on levothyroxine at 50 mg. he will need his tsh rechecked again in weeks to see how well he has responded and adjust his replacement dose accordingly. . # lue swelling: found to have pitting edema of the left hand on the morning of discharge. area was not warm, red, or painful, just with pitting edema. lue ultrasound was obtained to rule out dvt, which was negative. this may be due to repeated blood pressure checks on that arm, and this should monitored for resolution at rehab. . # thrombocytopenia: platets were noted to decrease from 128,000 on admission to a nadir of 77,00 during his hospital stay. this was attributed to his sepsis and perhaps a reaction to the bactrim, does not fit criteria for hit. on discharge, his levels have increased back to 145,000 today (nadir 77). likely related to sepsis/infection. . # non-gap metabolic acidosis: had a non-anion gap ma for most of his hospital stay, likely multifactorial secondary to diarrhea/high ouput from ostomy, acute renal failure, and aggressive fluid resuscitation with normal saline. his acidosis improved with lactated ringers as fluid replacement, increasing use of loperamide and psyllium. . chronic issues: . #heart failure: chronic systolic heart failure with ef 25%, s/p icd, home regimen included carvedilol, furosemide, and digoxin. all three of these medications were intially held due to his hypotension and renal failure, but carvedilol was restarted as his pressures tolerated it and digoxin was restarted at every other day dosing given his renal function. his furosmide has been discontinued, given that he already loses a lot of water through his ostomy bad and does not need further diuresis. . # elevated liver enzymes: mildly elevated liver enzymes throughout hospital stay. likely cholestatic origin given pattern of elevation, has had negative work up in the past. did not pursue further work up . # cad s/p mi medically managed: continued home statin and aspirin. carvedilol initially held due tohypotension, but this was restarted once his blood pressures tolerated. . #hld: continued home simvastatin . # pvd: continued aspirin and coumadin . # dm2: continue home novolog iss, however he never required any insulin (glucose mostly running 70-110s without intervention). . # s/p right colectomy + ileostomy for cecal volvolus: seen by ileostomy care nurse during his inpatient stay, who felt he had a fungal infection surrounding the ostomies and recommended nystatin. he was given loperamide and psyllium to help decrease ostomy output . transfer of care issues: he will need: - careful monitoring of bp with lr boluses of cc to keep sbp >80 - lactate ringers replacement to keep up with loses from ostomy - continued bladder re-training with bladder scans and straight cathing every 6 hours until he can void on his own - inr monitoring with adjustment of coumadin as

Medical Report: allergies: vicodin attending: chief complaint: decreased urine output, sob major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 62 year old male with multiple medical problems significant for b/l fibrothoraces s/p lung decortication in , diastolic chf (ef 55%), nstemi in setting of urosepsis in , and 2 recent admissions for urosepsis and chf/pna, who presents from home with decreased urine output, chest pressure and sob. he reports that since discharge 5 days ago his shortness of breath has gotten progressively worse. he denies orthopnea and says that his breathing is actually better when slightly reclined. he also says his le edema is less than it has been. . he noted the decreased urine output yesterday, despite the presence of a foley. denies any hematuria. . he also complains of a chest pressure/tightness, substernal, which does have some positional component and some association to breathing. it's at it's worst and is not associated with n/v/d. . in the ed this admission, his initial bp was 126, however dropped to the 80s. he received 2l ivf without improvement in his bp, and was started on peripheral dopamine. initial labs were notable for arf with creatinine 3.8, a bnp of 32,800, and a ua with 11-20 wbc, many bacteria, positive le. lactate 1.6. bcx, ucx sent. cxr showed ?pna in lll and chf. given one dose of ceftriaxone and sent to on peripheral dopamine. . 2 recent admissions: first from with presumed urosepsis s/p penile implant surgery. he required levophed, and was treated with vancomycin and ceftriaxone, though urine and blood cultures were negative; vancomycin was discontinued, and he was discharged home on a 7 day course of po cefpodoxime. a foley was left in place, as he was unable to void. this admission was also complicated by acute on chronic renal failure, with cr increase to 4.3 (baseline 1.6) atributed to his hypotension. it was 2.1 on discharge. he had elevated (max 0.29) but decreasing troponins but no chest pain or st changs, and he was thought to have demand ischemia. . he was readmitted on with chest pressure, found to have lll pna and chf. he was diuresed with iv lasix and treated for pneumonia with levaquin. of note, he was discharged on home o2 secondary to desaturation with ambulation. he continued to have urinary retention during this admission and was again discharged with a foley. past medical history: 1) chf, ef 45% from most recent echo , mixed lv systolic and diastolic dysfunction, cardiomyopathy 2) cad, nstemi in during admission for urosepsis with

cxr : impression: probable mild chf. bibasilar atelectasis. however, an early pneumonic infiltrate cannot be excluded. pleural fluid versus thickening along left lateral chest wall. probable small pleural effusions. please note that these findings may be exaggerated to some degree due to low inspiratory volumes. brief hospital course: 1. hypotension: patient was admitted to the where he was treated with pressors including dopamine for his hypotension. his blood pressure medications were held. stim test was performed and was normal. he was noted to have a urinary tract infection on admission, as well as infiltrate at his left lung base on cxr. he was started on vancomycin and ceftriaxone. there was some concern for sepsis, especially in light of the patient's recent penile implant surgery. urology was consulted and they felt that the surgical site was healing well without signs of infection. they recommended foley placement as they thought the patient's hypotension was likely secondary to mild urinary retention. they also recommended re-starting proscar and flomax. patient was weaned off pressors and continued to have hypotension responsive to fluid boluses. given that the patient remained essentially afebrile after admission, with no leukocytosis and negative blood cultures, it was deemed highly unlikley that the pateint was in septic shock. given his response to fluid boluses, there was some though the hypotension was a result of over diuresis at home, possibly complicated by overuse of narcotics for his recent surgery. he was transferred to the service and continued to do well except for persistent penile pain secondary to surgery. he had a few episodes of sharp chest pain, reproducible with palpation, which he described as different from his anginal chest pain. there were no associated symptoms and no ecg changes when one was obtained immediately after an episode of pain. pain was well controlled with prn percocet. patient failed a voiding trial and was discharged home in stable condition with his foley catheter still in place. . 2. troponin elevation: up to .21, from .11 on in the setting of urosepsis. given that his ck was flat and there were no ecg changes, the troponin elevation was attributed to chronic wall stretch from chf with impaired troponin clearance in the setting of arf. . 3. acute renal failure: creatinine was 3.8 on admission. fena was consistent with pre-renal etiology and resolved with fluids. recent baseline appears to be around 1.4-1.7. his urine output transiently declined while in the unit, then returned to . tamulosin was increased per urology recs. . 4. hypoxia, ?hypoventilation: unclear how much of the hypoxia is secondary to pna versus chf. also some concern for hypoventilation from osa. the picture is further compliated by the patient's fibrothorax s/p decortication. bipap was continued for for osa. lasix was re-started at a low dose. hypoxia improved but with intermittent oxygen saturation levels below 90, especially with ambulation, patient was dicharged on home oxygen. . 5. dm: that patient's normal dose of lantus 8u qhs was continued with a riss for stict glucose control. . 6. anemia: this is a chronic problem. patient's baseline earlier this year was in the mid-30s, however more recently around 30 during repeated hospitalizations. iron studies were sent and were consistent with anemia of chronic inflammation and likely is secondary to renal failure. . medications on admission: 1. escitalopram 5 mg po qam 2. escitalopram 10 mg po qpm 4. aspirin 325 mg po daily

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: percocet / codeine attending: chief complaint: seizure major surgical or invasive procedure: intubation central line placement lumbar puncture x 2 history of present illness: this is a 67 year old with multiple medical problems including dm, hypothyroidism, htn, spinal stenosis (s/p c4-c7 laminectomy), peripheral neuropathy, high cholesterol who presents to the ed with prolonged seizure. apparently, her boyfriend (? husband) found her on the floor on all fours with generalized shaking. she lost conciousness and had a series of what sound like generalized tonic-clonic movements. this went on for about 30minutes before ems arrival. there was apparently no lucid interval between events. ems found her unresponsive. en route to , she had another gtc seizure and was given ativan 2mg x1 iv. history is extremely limited as her boyfriend did not accompany her to the and is not available by telephone. remainder of the history is from omr notes. her boyfriend told ems that she has a known history of seizures, but i cannot find any documentation of this in omr nor is she taking an anticonvusant based on her med list. in the ed, she had no further seizure activity. she was intubated with succ and etomidate on presentation. she subsequent received 2 mg of versed prior to ct. she was loaded with dilantin 1g. labetalol was administered (10mg) x2

impression: no acute intracranial pathology including no sign of intracranial hemorrhage. . ct abdomen: the lung bases are clear. the liver is unremarkable. the patient is status post cholecystectomy. the pancreas is within normal limits. the spleen is diminutive in size. the adrenal glands are within normal limits. irregularities in the cortex of both kidneys are noted. in addition there is a wedge perfusion defect in the right kidney which was not present on prior exam. there are small low attenuation bilateral renal foci, which are too small to be fully characterized. ng tube is noted in the stomach. small bowel loops are unremarkable. again seen is a bowel containing umbilical hernia, which is nonobstructing. there is no free air or free fluid. no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy is identified. there are extensive aortic calcifications and the patient is status post aortobifemoral grafts. there is prominent soft tissue stranding along the anterior abdominal soft tissues consistent trauma. ct pelvis: foley catheter and air are observed in the bladder. there are multiple calcified uterine fibroids. the adnexa are unremarkable. the sigmoid colon and rectum are within normal limits. there is no free fluid and no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. at the inferior limits of the images, there is a right groin hematoma with evidence of active contrast extravasation. bone windows: there are no suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions. degenerative changes of the lumbar spine are observed, most prominent at l2-3 with disc space narrowing, endplate sclerosis and osteophyte formation. impression: 1. right groin hematoma with active contrast extravasation. 2. redemonstration of bowel containing umbilical hernia without evidence of obstruction. 3. cortical irregularities of both kidneys and interval development of wedge shaped perfusion defect of right kidney. this appearance could be seondary to infection, ischemia, or the phase of contrast. . mri head: findings: the flair images are limited by motion. there are periventricular hyperintensities seen as on the previous study indicating small vessel disease. however, new since the previous study are subtle t2 hyperintensities in both occipital lobes. there is also evidence of hyperintensity in the right hippocampal region. this area also demonstrates hyperintensity on diffusion images. in absence of the adc map, it is unclear whether the hyperintensity involving the hippocampal region is due to an infarct or due to t2 shine-through. the occipital changes could be due to posterior reversible encephalopathy. there is no hydrocephalus or midline shift seen. impression: signal changes in both occipital lobes which are new since the previous study, could be suggestive of posterior reversible encephalopathy. increased signal in the right hippocampus could be due to infarct, or reversible encephalopathy, a followup mri is recommended. . mra of the head: the head mra demonstrates normal flow signal within the arteries of anterior and posterior circulation. an incidental fenestration of the proximal basilar artery is noted. impression: normal mra of the head. . eeg: this is an abnormal eeg due to the presence of low and slowed background rhythms in the mixed theta frequency range primarily. no sharp or epileptiform features were seen. this finding is most consistent with an encephalopathy. common causes of encephalopathy include medications, metabolic causes, and infectious processes. note is made of a sinus tachycardia. brief hospital course: the patient is a 67 year old woman with multiple medical problems including frequent falls and shaking events (no documented seizures), myelopathy (s/p c-spine lami and fusion), htn, diabetes, and pvd who presented with status epilepticus. the initial exam showed multiple bruises of various ages, increased tone throughout (l>>r), brisk reflexes and upgoing toes. this seemed consistent with previously documented exams in terms of the increased tone on the left side. the etiology of her seizure was most likely due to hypertensive encephalopathy. stroke (r-hippocampus) or encephalitis (abnormal signal r-hippocampus) were considered possibilities. the patient was initially intubated and admitted to the neuro icu. she was extubated and transferred to the floor after two days. her hospital course and treatments by systems are as follows: . 1. neuro a head ct was negative for a bleed. mri showed signs of posterior reversible encephalopathy (bilateral occipital lobes; and possibly r-hippocampus). an mra was within normal limits. an lp was traumatic and showed slightly increased protein (wbc 5, rbc 2135, prot 80, glc 126). she was initially started on ctx, vanco, ampicillin, and acyclovir. hsv-pcr was sent to an oustide laboratory. after cultures continued to remain negative, antibiotics were d/c'd and only acyclovir was kept on. the patient was initially loaded on dilantin (goal: 15-20) and was then continued on 100mg po tid. she was transitioned to keppra 500 mg x 5 days with a taper to 1000 mg starting on . at that point dilantin should be stopped. an eeg showed changes c/w encephalopathy but no epileptiform discharges. for secondary stroke prophylaxis she was continued on asa 81mg, plavix 75mg, lipitor 80mg. . 2. pulm she was intubated for airway protection and extubated . a cxr on admission did not show signs of pna. cxr with mild pulmonary edema. she was diuresed appropriately and pulmonary status remained stable for the rest of the hospitalization. . 3. cv she ruled out for mi with three negative sets of cardiac enzymes. lisinopril 20mg was continued. the patient was also maintained on labetolol 200 mg po tid for bp control. telemetry did not capture major events. . 4. gi -gi: protonix . 5. endo she was started on a riss; metformin was held. this can be restarted upon her discharge to home. levothyroxine was continued for hypothyroidism. the patient had a tsh elevated to 10 on . a free t4 was sent and pending at the time of discharge. . 6. id urine culture was negative, and blood cultures were negative. the initial lp in the ed showed 20 wbc with 3705 rbc but negative gram stain. the patient was initially started on acyclovir, ceftriaxone, ampicillin, and vancomycin to cover for bacterial and viral meningitis. the antibiotics were stopped due to the negative gram stain and culture. acyclovir was continued. the hsv pcr was pending at the time of discharge. a repeat lumbar puncture was performed on the day of discharge and showed 1 wbc with 10 rbcs. the suspicion for hsv encephalitis and this point was felt to be low because one would expect a continued elevation of wbcs in the csf. the patient will be treated with acyclovir for a total of two weeks unless the hsv pcr is found to be negative. if the hsv pcr is found to be negative then acyclovir can be stopped immediately. . 7. heme the patient developed a groin hematoma. her hematocrit dropped to 22 (partly dilutional as she was 5l positive in the icu). her anemia was macrocytic. vitb12 was normal. folate was repleted. the patient received two units of prbcs on the floor and her hct remained stable. . 8. proph: -heparin sc for dvt ppx -protonix -thiamine and folate -bowel regimen . 9. fen: -cardiac diet as tolerated . 10. pain:

postoperative diameter of the cardiomediastinal silhouette is small today than before, but the azygos vein remains distended. no pneumothorax. no pulmonary edema. small residual of gas and fluid in the retrosternal space is a common postoperative finding. dr. brief hospital course: the patient was brought to the operating room on where the patient underwent a bentall procedure, please see the operative report for details. in summary he had: bentall w/(#29-mm freestyle bio-root), replacement of ascending aorta and hemi-arch with a vascutek gelweave dacron graft (#28)using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, coronary artery bypass grafting x2 (left internal mammary artery left to anterior descending coronary; reverse saphenous vein graft to the distal right coronary artery, and pericardial reconstruction with corematrix xenograft. his bypass time was 215 minutes, cross-clamp time was 188 minutes, and circulatory arrest time: 24 minutes. he tolerated the operation well and was transferred to the cardiac surgery icu in stable condition. on the first post-operative night, the patient had an episode of ventricular tachycardia that decompensated into ventricular

hospital course: 1. acute renal failure: patient is a 42-year-old male with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis, chronic renal failure, diabetes with nephropathy, status post recent admission for worsening renal failure, and urinary tract infection, now presents with a day history of exertional dyspnea, fatigue, poor urine output consistent with fluid overload secondary to acute on chronic renal failure. the etiology of his acute on chronic renal failure is unclear. it is probably not prerenal given that he appeared euvolemic on exam, and now that although his diuretic doses had recently been increased, he was not losing any fluid wave. the plan was to initially hold off on any iv fluids and diuretics. initially, it was felt that the patient did not have any indication for acute hemodialysis. indications for hemodialysis were to include intractable dyspnea, uncontrolled uremic symptoms like nausea or encephalopathy, or hyperkalemia. renal consultation service team was , and they agreed with the plan to not aggressively diurese the patient initially unless his respiratory status declined. however, his respiratory status remained stable, and on hospital day #2, he reported an inability to make urine. that evening the patient was given trial of diuretics. specifically, he was given lasix 100 mg iv, and also he was given metolazone 10 mg po. this also failed to result in any urine production. the patient's bun and creatinine continued to increase. he continued to complain of shortness of breath, but not to the point that it limited activity. he continued to remain alert and oriented, and without any signs of uremic encephalopathy. he was to undergo permacath placement on , and was to receive hemodialysis also on that day. the metabolic abnormalities associated with his uremia included calcium carbonate 500 mg po tid, nephrocaps one cap po q day, epogen 5,000 units subq 2x/week on tuesdays and fridays, amphojel, and calcitriol. 2. dyspnea: the patient was only slightly dyspneic likely to compensate for the underlying metabolic acidosis secondary to his uremia. initially, the plan was to diurese the patient or dialyze him if he became severely dyspneic and had chest x-ray evidence of fulminant failure. however, the patient's respiratory status remained stable and his level of dyspnea was felt not to warrant acute intervention. instead he was managed symptomatically with albuterol inhalers and oxygen therapy. initially, it felt that some component of his dyspnea might be due to his abdominal ascites collection. therefore on hospital day #2, he underwent a paracentesis with drainage of 2 liters of acidic fluid. this resulted in some resolution of his dyspnea. finally, the patient was to continue his bipap machine that he brought from home for treatment of his obstructive-sleep apnea. 3. elevated troponin: upon admission, the patient had an elevated troponin value. it was felt that very possibly he had an acute coronary event a few days prior to admission leading to renal hypoperfusion, which might explain his acute renal decompensation. however, it felt that based on his comorbidities, that there was no role for heparin or emergent catheterization at his initial presentation. an aspirin was held given patient's history of thrombocytopenia and uremia. he was not given a beta blocker given that his clinical status was tenuous and there was a question of unstable hematocrit values. cardiac echocardiogram was obtained, which demonstrated a hyperdynamic ejection fraction greater than 75% and mild left ventricular hypertrophy. 4. diabetes: initially patient came in on nph 10 units q am. however, it is felt that initially his fingerstick blood glucose values were running low. therefore, his nph was changed to 5 units q am and he was covered additionally with regular insulin-sliding scale. 5. cirrhosis: upon admission, the patient had large volume ascites. he had a diagnostic tap on his previous admission in with no evidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. he underwent a therapeutic paracentesis on the afternoon of with removal of 2 liters of acidic fluid. at the time of this dictation, culture results on that fluid were still pending. 6. anemia: on the day of admission, patient had a drop in hematocrit from 28 to 23.6 in 12 hours. he was therefore transfused 1 unit packed red blood cells. his stool was checked for occult blood and was heme negative. he was given his regular outpatient dose of epogen 5,000 units subq on . he was additionally to receive epogen during his dialysis sessions. 7. dermatological: patient had a two week history of erythematous, excoriated rash on his legs, back, face, and arms. throughout the course of his hospital stay, the rash became more erythematous and excoriated. therefore dermatology was consulted. per their recommendations, multiple topical ointments and moisturizing regimens were added to the patient's previous medication list. in addition, wound consult was obtained secondary to patient's history of diabetic foot ulcers. after initiation of this dermatological regimen, the patient experienced mild improvement in his skin rash and excoriation. 8. history of alcohol abuse: patient was placed on ativan and ciwa scale monitoring for alcohol withdrawal symptoms. the remainder of the hospital course, discharge status, condition, medications, and followup plans will be dictated as a separate addendum to this report. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 17:57 t: 08:27 job#: procedure: venous catheterization, not

age undetermined possible left atrial enlargement no previous tracing cxr : ap view of the chest: impression: 1. biapical scarring. 2. abnormal contour at the left paraspinal region near the diaphragm that cannot be entirely separated from the aorta. this may represent an atypically laterally positioned hiatal hernia, but saccular aortic aneurysm is not excluded. dedicated pa and lateral views of the chest are recommended when the patient is clinically capable for further characterization. alternatively, ct could be obtained. 3. no radiographic evidence of pneumonia or overt chf. ekg : sinus tachycardia. first degree atrio-ventricular conduction delay. p-r interval 0.24. cannot exclude prior anterior myocardial infarction. possible inferior myocardial infarction. compared to the previous tracing of multiple abnormalities as previously noted persist without major change. cxr : impression: rounded opacity in the retrocardiac region which appears contiguous with the heart and probably represents a left ventricular aneurysm. this does not clearly appear to be associated with the descending thoracic aorta. a ct scan is recommended for further evaluation. hip pa and lat : impression: status post orif right intertrochanteric fracture in overall anatomic alignment. evidence for impaction at the fracture line, with backing out of the screw, as described. no hardware loosening. ct head : impression: no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or infarct on this limited study. mri with diffusion-weighted imaging is more sensitive to evaluate for an acute infarct. ct chest : impression: 1. distension and filling of the esophagus with debris is present. this is associated with a probable hiatal hernia. clinical correlation is required for further interpretation. given the history of aspiration, evaluation by upper gi series may be useful after evacuation of the debris within the esophagus for further characterization of the anatomic course of the esophagus and stomach. 2. multiple pulmonary opacities primarily peripherally. images are most consistent with the provided history of aspiration. follow-up examination after appropriate treatment is recommended. 3. coronary artery and aortic calcifications. transthoracic echo : conclusions: 1. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (ef>75%). there is a mild resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. 2. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. 3. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate mac and thickening of the mitral valve chordae. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. 01:30pm urine color-yellow appear-hazy sp -1.018 01:30pm urine blood-neg nitrite-pos protein-neg glucose-neg ketone-tr bilirubin-neg urobilngn-4* ph-8.0 leuk-sm 01:30pm urine rbc-0-2 wbc->50 bacteria-many yeast-none epi-0 12:50pm glucose-107* urea n-17 creat-0.5 sodium-133 potassium-3.1* chloride-91* total co2-32* anion gap-13 12:50pm ck(cpk)-145* 12:50pm ck-mb-3 ctropnt-<0.01 12:50pm wbc-7.3 rbc-3.93* hgb-11.4* hct-33.6* mcv-86 mch-29.1 mchc-34.0 rdw-13.2 12:50pm neuts-79.0* lymphs-14.0* monos-6.4 eos-0.4 basos-0.3 12:50pm plt count-238 12:50pm pt-13.8* ptt-28.0 inr(pt)-1.2 brief hospital course: hospital course from mrs. is a year old female on 2l home o2 for copd, with low functional capacity, who presented with r intertrochanteric femoral fracture, had an orif on , post-op course complicated by transient tachycardia and hypoxia necessitating transfer to medicine service, as well as aspiration pneumonia and dysphagia, and a uti. 1) hip fracture: the patient had an orif on , with estimated blood loss of 200 cc. she received 800 cc ivf, and her post-op hct was found to be 28.7 (down from 33) therefore she was transfused 1 uprbc and her hematocrit subsequently remained stable. post operatively, however, she was noted to have a sinus tachycardia of 110-120, with stable blood pressure. her oxygen requirement was also slightly above baseline at 3l. she was therefore transfered to the medicine service (from orthopedics). 2) tachycardia: her post-operative tachycardia was sinus, and transient, resolving within a day. however, while on ortho service, cardiology was called and a rule out mi was performed, with negative cardiac enzymes. she was monitored on tele without events. she was started on metoprolol 5 mg iv q 6 hours (couldn't take po meds - see below), and her heart rate remained in the 70s and 80s for the remainder of the hospitalization. her brief post-operative tachycardia was likely related to her anemia, anxiety, and post-operative state with pain. 3) hypoxia: she was never far from her baseline of 98% on 2l. it is felt that her brief hypoxia was likely related to mild fluid overload from ivf received in surgery and prbcs, as well as an underlying aspiration pneumonia (see below). she was started on levaquin and gently diuresed, with improvement back to baseline of 2 l within a day. she was given atrovent nebs intermittently as well for her copd. 4) uti: as above, post-operatively she was found to have a uti. levaquin started for a planned 5 day course, however the course was lengthened to treat for her aspiration pneumonia as well. 5) aspiration: the patient was noted to have a mass just above the esophagus on cxr on admission, thought to possibly represent a left ventricular aneurysm. however, an echo did not demonstrate an aneurysm. a ct scan was done to better evaluate the mass, which demonstrated a dilated esophagus filled with food, as well as a likely hiatal hernia to explain the mass. as swallow study was done which demonstrated the patient to be aspirating food of all consistency. it is unclear whether her oropharyngeal dysphagia is related to the high level of food in her esophagus or simply related to the anesthesia used during the operation. on further history the patient has had esophageal strictures in the past, and gi was therefore called to perform an egd to further evaluate the possible hiatal hernia and dilate any strictures, however they could not advance the scope or remove any of the food particules during the egd secondary to impacted food and reddened esophageal mucosa. they recommended thoracics involvement, however the thoracic surgeons advised waiting 2 weeks to see if the food clears on its own rather than doing esophageal disimpaction secondary to the high risk of the procedure and necessity for general anesthesia. the family agreed to placing a picc for tpn for the next 2 weeks, after which time the patient will have a repeat ct scan to see if the food has slowly moved on its own enabling gi to do another scope to further evaluate the obstruction. she will also have a repeat swallow study at that time to see if the oropharyngeal component of her dysphagia has resolved. she will be maintained on strict npo until then, with aspiration precautions. 6) aspiration pneumonia: multiple areas of consolidation were seen on her ct scan, consistent with aspiration pneumonia. she was started on levaquin and flagyl on , to complete a 14 day course. hospital course patient was going to be transferred to rehab. however she began to have increasing respiratory effort and hypoxia. she was was transferred to the micu on for respiratory distress. her code status was reversed and she was intubated. her hypoxia was thought likely aspiration/food bolus in esophagus. egd on revealed that the esophageal blockage had resolved. she was extubated without difficulty, and transferred to the floor. however she then became hypoxic again likely having pulm edema secondary to rapid afib. she initially improved on bblockers and diuresis. then the patient again became tachypnic and hypoxic. cxr c/w worsening pulm edema. poor prognosis was discussed with the family and she was made cmo. the patient died 4:59am on . medications on admission: detrol colace hctz 25 mg daily sq heparin discharge medications: none discharge disposition: extended care discharge diagnosis: deceased discharge condition: deceased discharge instructions: none followup instructions: none md, procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances other endoscopy of small intestine other endoscopy of small intestine insertion of endotracheal tube open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, femur transfusion of packed cells diagnoses: anemia, unspecified urinary tract infection, site not specified hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified atrial fibrillation unspecified fall pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus cachexia other specified disorders of esophagus closed fracture of intertrochanteric section of neck of femur Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: demerol / actos attending: chief complaint: shortness of breath chf exacerbation major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 72-year-old male with a history of systolic chf with the last ef being 15% here in 4/. he presented to yesterday morning with sob. in ed he was thought to be volume up as the cxr showed r effusion and mild edema. got lasix 40mg iv and he felt better. he put out 1600cc urine. he had a low grade temp to 100.3, a wbc of 13 and ?right sided infiltrate and was started on vanco and ceftazidime. he was admitted to icu as was transiently in bipap and was off by the time he arrived there, on 2l nc and comfortable. . while in the icu, his weight was 183lbs (dry weight is 180, here it is listed as 198). additional diuresis was attempted with 40mg iv lasix but to no avail. creatinine rose from 0.74 to 1.38. his respiratory status remained at baseline, with no shortness of breath. he was ready to go out to floor with presumed acute schf and ?pna but then went into af with rvr with a pressure of 98 after 5 of lopressor iv. he was noted to be cool and ?clamped down and his fingers were blue. he received 250cc ivf and 150 mg iv amiodarone. an abg was 7.18/42/66/18 while on 5l nasal cannula with a bicarb of 22 a lactate of 4. there was thought that the af resulted in transient hypoperfusion causing lactic acidosis. . with the above lopressor and amiodarone, his af broke. his rhythm returned to a paced rhythm. he reportedly felt better, however shortly thereafter, he again had an episode of feeling poorly. he was not in af but was hypotensive to 70-80's with intermittent pvc's/paced and there was concern that maybe he was not perfusing then. his bp normalized with no intervention, but on physical examination, his carotid pulse was felt only on every 3rd beat when compared to telemetry. he was placed on dobutamine 2mg for inotropy. . a repeat lactate was 7.4 but he was not complaining of any localizing symptoms. manual bp measurement was shown to be 90/60mmhg. cxr was repeated and was unchanged (no change in ?infiltrate seen on admission). blood and urine cultures were negative. the wbc decreased to 7.4. he was started on a heparin gtt as he had a history of pe while on coumadin and has an ivc filter in pace. inr was 1.2 on admission so it was unclear if he was taking his coumadin. his chest was not scanned in light of his arf. also reportedly has h/o tia. . he was transferred here as volume status was felt to be difficult to assess. on transfer, he had low bp's and was started on peripheral levophed. . on arrival to to the ccu, he had an entirely negative ros including no cp, sob, abd pain, diarrhea, dysuria, cough, headache, back pain or leg pain. . on review of systems, he denied any prior history of stroke, deep venous thrombosis, bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. he denied recent fevers, chills or rigors. he denied exertional buttock or calf pain. all of the other review of systems were negative. . cardiac review of systems was notable for absence of chest pain, paroxysmal

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 42-year-old male with longstanding type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and chronic renal insufficiency, who is awaiting kidney transplant, who has a history of chest pain and shortness of breath and underwent an exercise tolerance test which was positive for ischemia. he underwent a cardiac catheterization on , that revealed three vessel coronary artery disease as follows: 20% stenosis in the proximal left main, 40% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending with 50% stenosis in the middle segment, a diffusely diseased distal left anterior descending first diagonal branch with a 40% stenosis at its ostium. the left circumflex was dominant and had 40% stenosis at its proximal segment, 80% stenosis in the middle segment, as well as a posterior left ventricular branch that was diffusely diseased with up to an 80% stenosis. the right coronary artery was non-dominant and diffusely diseased, with up to an 80% stenosis in its middle segment. the patient's left-sided filling pressures were also slightly elevated. given these findings, he was referred to dr. for coronary artery bypass grafting. evidently he also had an ejection fraction of 60%. past medical history: significant for type 1 diabetes mellitus, neuropathy, retinopathy, chronic renal insufficiency, and hypertension. medications on admission: included norvasc, lopressor 50 twice a day, lasix 60 once daily, vasotec, nph insulin 30 every morning and 10 every evening, with regular insulin 10 every morning and 10 every evening, lipitor, procrit, nitroglycerin. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: significant for a 30 pack year smoking history. physical examination: he was afebrile, with a pulse in the 60s and a blood pressure that was elevated at 164/85. he was well appearing. his neck was supple. his chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. his heart sounds were s1 and s2, no murmurs noted. his abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended. the extremities were warm and well perfused. neurologically, he was grossly intact, with palpable distal pulses throughout. hospital course: the patient was admitted to on , where he underwent a coronary artery bypass grafting x 3 as follows: left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending, vein graft to obtuse marginal, and vein graft to diagonal. the cardiopulmonary bypass time was 72 minutes, with an aortic cross-clamp time of 56 minutes. postoperatively, the patient did well. he was on an insulin drip for labile blood glucose, and otherwise required no pressors postoperatively. he had a renal consult and, of note, his creatinine rose from 5.8 to 6.1 postoperatively. the patient was transferred to the floor from the cardiothoracic intensive care unit on postoperative day number two. his chest tubes had already been removed at this point without complication. his insulin drip was stopped, and he was started on an nph and regular insulin regimen for control of his diabetes. the patient did very well postoperatively. he was ambulating early, tolerating a regular diet, and adequately diuresed. at this point, his diuretic was stopped. he was also begun on reglan for some nausea. he was placed on lopressor, which was increased to a dose of 75 mg by mouth twice a day, and by postoperative day number four, the patient was stable for discharge. he was discharged on the following medications: procrit 3000 units subcutaneously three times per week, reglan 10 mg by mouth before meals, percocet one to two by mouth every four to six hours as needed, nph 30 units subcutaneously every morning and 10 units subcutaneously every evening, regular insulin 10 units subcutaneously every morning with 10 units subcutaneously every evening, zantac 150 mg by mouth once daily, lopressor 75 mg by mouth twice a day, and aspirin 81 mg by mouth once daily. he was discharged with vna services, and instructed to follow up with dr. in four weeks. he was instructed to return to the hospital for staple removal in two weeks, and he was requested to follow up with his primary care physician as well as with his renal attending.

she recieved a stat cerebral angiogram and it was found that she had a avm of the parietal branch of the right mca. prior to the angiogram she had an episode of seziure which consisted of her extensor posturing her lue and flexing her rue towards her face. she went to the or for evacuation vis craniotomy on the mornign of . post-operatively she remained intubated and was trasnferred back to the icu. she had 2 episodes of presumed seizure in the post-op period similar in nature to the one she ahd prior to her angiogram. for this reason, she was placed on dilantin. on she remained in the icu for q2 neuro checks. her exam remained stable. on she was transferred out of the icu to the step down unit. she was able to maintain a sbp of 100-140 without medications. her dilantin level was corrected to greater than 10. she was seen by speech and swallow, who recommended she was safe for a liquid diet with soft solids. dilantin level on was 10.6 and she was continued on 100mg tid. her exam continued to improve and she had some voluntary movement of her left leg. on , she complained of increased muscle spasms to her neck and arm. she was placed on robaxin 100mg qid. she continued to

blood pressure 90/50; saturations of 100%. head within normal limits. pupils equal, round and reactive to light. chest clear to auscultation. heart regular rate and rhythm. abdomen obese, nontender, distended. pelvis was stable. rectal examination showed poor tone with no blood. extremities palpable femoral pulses. laboratory: on admission, white blood cell count 13.5, hematocrit 26.1, platelets 175, fibrinogen 208. urinalysis was nitrite positive with 6 to 10 white blood cells. chem-7 was sodium 141, potassium 4.3, chloride 104, bicarbonate 17, bun 20, creatinine 1.3, glucose 445, amylase 99. hospital course: resuscitation in the trauma room included six liters of crystalloid and four units of packed red blood cells. in addition, the patient was intubated and then emergently taken to the operating room. she underwent an exploratory laparotomy and was found to have a ruptured spleen and a contused jejunum. she underwent a splenectomy and jejunal resection with a side-to-side anastomosis. she tolerated the procedure well and was then transferred to the trauma surgical intensive care unit. her postoperative course is summarizes as follows: 1. neurologic: initially, the patient was kept sedated with high doses of morphine. those were gradually weaned and prior to discharge the patient is alert, oriented, communicating with her surroundings, following commands, with pain well controlled with p.r.n. dilaudid as needed only. 2. cardiovascular: immediately postoperatively, troponin levels were elevated to 29. ekg showed no changes from an old study and no signs of an acute myocardial infarction. she was followed for a period of time by cardiology after her admission. it is recommended that once she recovers from her current injury that she should undergo a further cardiac work-up including a stress test and other imaging studies. she was not started on aspirin because of her allergy. cardiac postoperative complications: the patient was started on beta blockers. on postoperative day 17, she went into atrial fibrillation but remained hemodynamically stable. her beta blocker dose was increased, after which she went into sinus bradycardia of 30. after converting to sinus and due to her bradycardia, the beta blocker treatment was stopped. prior to discharge, the patient has been stable in sinus rhythm of 60 to 80. 3. respiratory: she was gradually weaned on the ventilator but failed extubation twice. she therefore underwent a tracheostomy on , with no complications. it was thought that the difficulty in weaning her off the ventilator was mainly due to her morbid obesity and was position related. once the patient was able to be seated up in a special bed, we were able to go down on her ventilatory support to a minimum. prior to discharge, she has been tolerating pressure-support ventilation over a whole day with pressure supports of 5 and a peep of 5. during her prolonged period of ventilation and intubation, the patient developed hospital acquired pneumonia. she grew enterobacter from her sputum on , for which she was treated with ampicillin, gentamicin and levofloxacin for a full course. after improvement and a short period with no antibiotic treatment, she redeveloped fevers and her white count went up. new cultures from are growing gram positive cocci and she was started on a course of zosyn on that same day. she currently is stable, afebrile; white count is down to 15. 4. gastrointestinal: the patient was started on tube feeds which she tolerated well and was advanced to goal. no peg was placed secondary to her morbid obesity and the high risk in such a procedure. 5. genitourinary: she maintained good urine output throughout her hospitalization with normal renal function. she was diuresed for a period of time after her surgery in order to eliminate some of the volume overload. she is currently off lasix and her urine output is good. 6. hematologic: she is on lovenox for prophylaxis. she is a very high risk patient and she should continue on that. she had a negative duplex of her lower extremities on . her hematocrit has been stable over days. 7. endocrine: she was on an insulin drip for many days after surgery, and this was slowly changed over to insulin treatment with nph and regular insulin by sliding scale. disposition: the patient is transferred to a rehabilitation facility to continue weaning off the ventilator. discharge instructions: 1. it is noted that it is important for the patient to remain sitting upright in order to allow for ventilatory weaning. 2. she should follow-up with dr. in clinic two weeks after discharge. discharge medications: 1. protonix 40 mg per ng tube q. day. 2. ativan 1 mg q. six hours p.r.n. 3. zosyn 4.5 grams intravenously q. eight hours for a total of ten days (last treatment with zosyn should be on ). 4. carafate one gram p.o. twice a day. 5. sertraline 50 mg p.o. q. day. 6. percocet elixir 5 to 10 ml p.o. q. four to six hours p.r.n. 7. albuterol nebs one to two puffs q. four to six hours p.r.n. 8. lovenox 30 mg subcutaneously twice a day. 9. colace 100 mg per ng tube twice a day. 10. nph insulin, 70 units twice a day. 11. tube feeds are impact with fiber at 75 cc an hour. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: other partial resection of small intestine exploratory laparotomy laryngoscopy and other tracheoscopy temporary tracheostomy other small-to-large intestinal anastomosis total splenectomy diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified acute kidney failure with lesion of tubular necrosis diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled atrial fibrillation hypotension, unspecified injury to spleen without mention of open wound into cavity, massive parenchymal disruption injury to colon, unspecified site, with open wound into cavity injury to small intestine, unspecified site, with open wound into cavity Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

unchanged from prior radiographs. there is mild prominence of the pulmonary vasculature, consistent with congestion. cardiomediastinal silhouette is mildly enlarged and unchanged. no pneumothorax. again seen is chronic dislocation of the left glenohumeral joint. impression: 1. slightly increased hazy opacity at the right lower lung most consistent with pneumonia. 2. mild pulmonary congestion. . ct head : there is no evidence of intra-axial or extra-axial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or shift of normally midline structures. the -white matter interface is preserved without evidence of acute major territorial infarct. the ventricles and sulci are slightly prominent but proportional, consistent with age-related involutional changes. calcifications of the bilateral carotid siphons are noted. scattered punctate hyperdensities in the csf spaces of the middle cranial fossa may be related to prior myelogram. mucus retention cysts are noted in the left maxillary sinus and bilateral sphenoid sinuses. there is near-complete opacification of the right maxillary sinus and bilateral ethmoid air cells. the mastoid air cells are well pneumatized bilaterally. the bony calvarium appears intact. impression: 1. no acute intracranial process. 2. sinus disease as detailed above. . mr : there is no acute intracranial infarction or hemorrhage. the axial t2 and flair sequences are markedly degraded by motion artifact. there is no hydrocephalus or midline shift. major intracranial flow-voids are preserved. there is opacification of the right maxillary sinus, and bilateral ethmoid and sphenoid air cells. there is slow diffusion within the right maxillary and the ethmoid sinuses which may represent retained secretions or underlying infection. impression: suboptimal mri study, secondary to image degradation by motion artifact. 1. no acute intracranial abnormality seen. 2. interval development of right maxillary and bilateral ethmoid and sphenoid sinus inflammatory disease. as above, there is slow diffusion in the right maxillary sinus and bilateral ethmoid air cells which may represent underlying pyogenic infection or retained secretions; should be closely correlated, clinically. eeg: : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu eeg monitoring study because of generalized periodic epileptic discharges (gpeds) indicative of areas of cortical irritability with potential epileptogenicity. in addition, there were periods of electrodecrement associated with tonic arm flexion at times accompanied by a few myoclonic jerks. these are likely indicative of brief electrographic seizures with clinical correlation. background activity alternated between epochs of diffuse mixed theta and delta slowing, gpeds, and brief episodes of electrodecrement. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu eeg monitoring study because of generalized periodic epileptic discharges (gpeds) indicative of multiple areas of cortical irritability with potential epileptogenicity. in addition, there were periods of electrodecrement associated with tonic arm flexion, more on the left, with some myoclonic jerks. these are likely indicative of electrographic and clinical seizures. background alternated between three following patterns: diffuse theta and delta slowing, gpeds, and brief periods of electrodecrement. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of a severe diffuse encephalopathy with frequent paroxysmal features. the latter actually takes the form of generalized paroxysmal interictal epileptic activity, as described. these are also referred to as gpeds. compared to the prior day's recording, there were no significant changes. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of a severe diffuse encephalopathy with at least two different and distinct patterns. the first is a burst and burst suppressive pattern with sharp and slow sharp transients as the bursting phenomenon but long duration suppression to follow those. this alternates with what appears to be a diffuse encephalopathy with a theta and delta frequency rhythm present over the anterior head regions with relative loss of activity posteriorly. there were short duration runs of rhythmic theta activity in the central regions at appeared without any clinical accompaniment. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of a severe encephalopathy. this encephalopathy was manifest by a suppression of voltage over all head regions with the presence of a diffuse theta rhythm with no clear anterior-posterior gradation. there were no focal features on the routine record although subtle asymmetries were noted on the quantitative analysis. there were no seizures or interictal discharges of note. compared to the prior day's recording, there were no significant changes. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of the presence of a moderate to moderately severe diffuse encephalopathy. there were no clear focal abnormalities identified. there were no sustained seizures seen. there were some potential interictal sharp discharges noted in a multifocal distribution. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of disorganized and slow background activity and bursts of generalized slowing indicative of mild to moderate encephalopathy which is etiologically non-specific. there were no focal asymmetries or epileptiform features. compared to the prior day's recording, there was slight improvement in background activity. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous video eeg due to the presence of a slow background in the 6 hz range which later improved to 7 hz range with bursts of generalized slowing indicative of a mild encephalopathy that is etiologically non-specific. there were very rare generalized blunted sharp waves indicative of generalized cortical irritability but no electrographic seizures were seen. compared to the previous day's recording, there is an improvement in the background frequency, particularly during the second half of the recording. : impression: this is an abnormal continuous video eeg due to the presence of a slow background initially in the hz range which later improved to a better organized 7 hz range background in the second portion of the recording. these are indicative of a mild encephalopathy that is etiologically non-specific. no clear epileptiform discharges were seen. compared to the previous day's recording, there is an improvement in the background frequency and organization, particularly during the second half of the recording. : pending brief hospital course: this is a 68 yo f with reported reported dementia, ? h/o seizure, paf, known neurogenic bladder with frequent utis initially presented with hemetemesis to the micu, later was transferred to the floor, but re-transferred back to the micu for ams. # ugib duodenal ulcer. per report, had coffee ground emesis at rehab and guaiac-positive melanotic stool in ed. upper gi source suspected as had reported melena in the ed as well. received vitamin k for elevated inr to 1.4, and aspirin and fondaparinaux was held. she was transfused 2 u prbc's with appropriate hematocrit response from 23 to 29. she was evaluated by gi who performed an egd with mac anesthesia which showed a large, healing duodenal ulcer at the bulb which was the likely source of prior bleeding. in addition, egd also revealed a duodenal submucosal mass, which will require outpatient eus for further work up. she received another prbc after being transferred to the floor. she was switched to pantoprazole 40 mg . h. pylori antibody was found to be positive. however, given the complexity of her other medical issues, treatment was deferred in the micu, but will need to be followed up in the outpatient setting. gi outpatient follow up scheduled. her hct has remained stable around 25-26. # altered mental status. multifactorial, likely seizure and underlying infection. patient was a&o x3 on admission. she was noted to become unresponsive requiring sternal rub the morning after transfer to the floor from micu. rhythmic movement was noted in her ue, which subsided with 1 mg ativan. however, mental status did not improve. there was initial thought about opioid overdose given patient's history of opioid use for chronic pain, although she did not receive more than her normal home dose. narcan was administered and patient had signs of withdrawal by vital sigs, but mental status remained poor. neurology was consulted for work-up of possible seizure (see below) given reported history and being on low dose keppra. she was started on vancomycin and cefepime empirically for possible uta given + ua (see below) and ? rll pneumonia on cxr. blood culture was negative. repeat urine culture showed providencia stuartii and pseudomonas aeruginosa. mental status slowly improved throughout her course. at discharge she was aaox2. # seizure. after neurology was consulted for ? seizure given reported history although there was no definitive diagnosis from the past, eeg showed status epilepticus. ct head and mri head did not show acute intracranial process. aeds were started and titrated upward. she was loaded on keppra, fosphenytoin, and valproate. she continued to have intermittent seizures through these aeds, so lorazepam was also started. bed-side lp was unsuccessful, and patient was intubated electively for ir guided lp given chronic contracture. she was started on ampicillin, acyclovir and continued vancomycin for presumed meningitis. however, csf was negative, and antimicrobials were taken off. she was continued on eeg monitoring and her aed regimen was changed to her current discharge meds with good seizure control: keppra 1500mg and phenytoin 100mg tid. # uti. her repeat urine culture taken at the time of ams grew providencia stuartii and psueomonas aeruginosa, both of which were sensitive to cefepime. she completed treatment prior to discharge. # leukocytosis. wbc elevated to 13.8 on admission. no obvious source of infection indentified initially, although cxr with effussion in right hemithorax and urinalysis suggestive of infection (although has neurogenic bladder and chronically self caths with history of recurrent uti's). leukocytosis resolved after ivf hydration and transfusion, suggesting reactive leukocytosis. # paroxysmal afib: hr 80s; ekg shows sinus rhythm. has chads of 1. is likely on fondaparinaux for dvt prophylaxis, not afib. given recent gib will defer further consideration of anticoagulation at this time, but may be considered in the future. # chronic le contractures. unable to ambulate since lumbar distectomy in . has chronic pain for which she is on narcotics. patient was kept on home baclofen. oxycontin and oxycodone were discontinued and then restarted at 1/2 the previous dose in hopes of improving her mental status. she was discharged on the half dose of ms contin with good pain control. these may need to be adjusted in the future. # fondaparinux. it is unclear the reasons for fondaparinux. pcp and rehab were contact to clarify but no one seemed to know the reasons. it seemed to have been carried over from past admissions. based on the initial dosage from rehab, patient was assumed to be on it for dvt prophylaxis. no heparin was given while in the micu given recent gib. # hld. patient was continued on atorvastatin. # cad. asa was held given gib. #

admitted to for vomiting up blood. you were initially seen in the icu and underwent a endoscopy that showed a healing duodenal ulcer as well as a submucosal duodenal mass that you should follow up with the gi doctors as outpatient. please also ask them to follow up regarding your diagnosis of h. pylori that has not yet been treated. you received transfusions of red blood cells and your blood counts have trended down slowly but stabilized. afterwards you were noted to be very somnolent and found to have non-convulsive seizures. we monitored you on eeg and adjusted your anti-seizure medications, increasing the keppra which you took at home and starting a new medication called dilantin. your eeg improved and you had no further evidence of seizures during the last several days of your hospitalization. during your stay you also had a uti that was treated. gyn also saw you regarding your labia and took a biopsy. please follow up with dr. in their clinic regarding these results as they are still pending at time of discharge. of note, we decreased your long-acting ms contin by half to see if you continued to have pain control without mental suppression. you appeared stable on this regimen for the past 2 days. this may need to titrated up in the future if pain is not controlled. followup instructions: please follow up in clinic with dr. on , at 3:30 pm. her office can be

Medical Report: allergies: penicillins / accupril / celebrex attending: chief complaint: "spitting up dark vomit" major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: ms. is a 78y/o lady with dementia, htn, sle on prednisone/plaquenil, stage iv (baseline cr 1.5), amyloid angiopathy with recent ich who presents from nursing home due to hematemesis. . she is a resident at ; at her baseline she is disoriented and does not speak very much, though she can answer questions appropriately. she has had a complicated recent course including hospitalizations x2 at over the past month for multiple intracerebral hemorrhages/hemorrhagic strokes. it was felt that these strokes were related to hypertension and amyloid angiopathy. goal sbp has been less than 150. prior to her recent hospitalization she reportedly fell, was on the ground for a prolonged amount of time, and was also noted to be "spitting up dark vomit." . on the day of presentation she reported "burning" but did not elaborate when asked. she had a bp 200/100. vomited dark brown/marroon vomit and the paramedics were called. en route, she again vomited maroon emesis. . she was recently admitted to in for a cerebellar ich, and again on for lethargy/somnolence. ct scan of the head revealed a new left posterior temporal lobe intraparenchymal hemorrhage without mass effect. no mri done due to agitation. bp controlled and she was subsequently discharged. of note, she had a few runs of svt there that were beta blocker responsive. . in the ed, initial vs: t98.3, hr 108, bp 171/120, rr 18, pox 100% 3l nc.

recent ich. she was admitted to medicine for management of upper gi bleed. vs prior to transfer were: t98.4, hr74, bp156/78, rr16, pox98%ra. . this morning on the medicine floor, she had no further episodes of hematemesis or coffee grounds. repeat hct to 43 this am. she was noted to be hypertensive to 200-210 systolic. the stroke team was involved given the finding of ?ich on ct head. after obtaining records, teams were reassured that imaging abnormalities were present during most recent admission a few days ago. strict bp control recommended, along with mri. she got hydralazine 10mg iv x2 which brought bp down to 160s. she then developed svt with rates to 160s that was initially responsive to vagal maneuvers but eventually required lopressor 5mg iv x2. she retained hemodynamic stability throughout these episodes. . upon arrival to the micu, she complains of no pain but resists continued questioning, getting somewhat irritated with physical exam as well. denies abdominal pain, n/v/d, bloody emesis, chest pain, sob. no further ros could be elicited. past medical history: - intracerebral hemorrhages, involved the left cerebellar and right parietal lobes - dementia - iv,

hyperdense focus within the left parietal lobe may represent new hemorrhagic stroke versus hemorrhagic tumor versus a focus of hemorrhage. additional low-attenuating region within the right parietal and iso- to hyperdense focus within the left cerebellar region may correspond to patient's history of hemorrhagic stroke. overall, findings may suggest an embolic phenomenon; however, correlation with clinical history is recommended. note added at attending review: the hemorrhagic lesions in the left cerebellar hemisphere and left parietal lobe might represent hemorrhagic infarctions, however, the possibility of neoplasms should be considered. the hypodense right parietal mass with a thin hyperdense rim would be an unusual appearance for infarction, acute or chronic, and the possibility of neoplasm should be strongly considered. given these findings, an mr with contrast is recommended to pursue the possibility than one or more of the lesions may be due to a malignancy, such as metastatic disease. after discussion by dr. with dr. of stroke neurology, at 10:30 am on by telephone, it appears these lesions were pursued with ct as well as mr enhancement during a recent evaluation at . these studies are not available for comparison at this time, but apparently reports interepreted the lesions described above as benign hemorrhages. as discussed with dr. , the best approach may be to obtain these studies and compare them to the current examination. if this is not possible, then it would be best to obtain an mr when the patient's renal function will permit this. cxr: in comparison with study of , there is little overall change. no evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease. specifically, the left base appears clear. brief hospital course: 78 year old female with dementia, htn, sle on prednisone/plaquenil, stage iv (baseline cr 1.8) and amyloid angiopathy with recent ich who presented from nursing home due to hematemesis on noted to have hypertensive emergency, recent bleeds on head ct unchanged. she was transferred briefly to the icu for careful neuro checks, frequent blood pressure monitoring, management of svt (see below), but was stable for transfer back to the floor within 1 day. non-emergenct egd showed no active bleeding, only candidal esophagitis. please see below for more details on each hospital problem. . active problems: # amyloid angiopathy/ich: given hypertensive urgency in the ed with recent ich, stat head ct obtained when she arrived on the floor. the ct showed multiple sites of bleed, initially concerning for acute new hemorrhage. she was evaluated emergently by the neuro stroke service, who reviewed reports from her osh ct and mri the previous week were obtained and it was decided that what we were seeing was more likely due to older bleeds. they recommended conservative managment with aggressive control of bp, with goal bp <140/90. she was started on metoprolol for blood pressure control (as well as prevention of svt- see below) and restarted on home dose of felodipine. she will be continued on these two medications at discharge. good blood pressure control will be of paramount importance in preventing new intracranial bleeds, so this is something that should continued to be monitored frequently (at least every 8 hours) at her rehab facility. . # maroon emesis: hct at baseline on admission, ng lavage in ed showed mostly clear fluid with some dark sediment. made npo and started ppi iv. repeat hematocrits showed no clinically significant drop, and she hemodynamically stable with no recurrence of hematemesis. egd on revealed esophageal candidiasis, likely as a result of her high dose prednisone (even though this was started just 1 week ago). no other signs to point to underlying immunodeficiency, however it would not be unreasonable to order an hiv test as an outpatient, will defer to outpatient pcp. was started on fluconazole 200 mg qday for a planned 3 week course (from ). lfts sent at the initiation of therapy to establish a baseline (normal). continued on omeprazole 20 mg for additional gastric protection on discharge. a biopsy of the candidal plaques as taken, so this will need to be followed up as an outpatient. . # supraventricular tachycardia: placed on telemetry on arrival given concern for gi bleed, noted to have short runs of narrow complex tachycardia which initially self-resolved on the morning of admission. then went into another run of svt (appeared to be avnrt) to the 160s which was sustained. attempted carotid massage and vagal maneuvers, then metoprolol 5 mg iv x2 with minimal response (rate decreased to 130s). she was then transferred to the icu for higher level of nursing care, and her svt broke while en route, converting back to sinus rhythm in the 80s. she was started on metoprolol for rate control. she remained on telemetry throughout her stay and did not have a recurrence. . #. dementia/delirium: per daughter, pt is forgetful at baseline, usually oriented to herself but not time or place. she appeared to be baseline mental status throughout most of her stay, but she was at times somewhat agitated. likely a degree of acute delirium, given her illness and frequent transfers between floors. her medication list from listed seroquel 12.5 mg as one of her outpatient medications, so she was started on this dose of seroquel with prn haloperidol. her agitation was decreased with this medications, but she was somewhat sleepy. she seemed to do better with a decreased dose of 6.25 mg qhs, with additional 6.25 mg prn (never needed to be given this). she is being discharged on this decreased dose of seroquel. . # hypernatremia: na elevated to 146 on admission, likely due to poor po intake in the setting of dementia. improved after getting boluses of d5w, unlikely to have contributed to her mental status. . # hypertension: bp control as above. . inactive problems: #. : cr 1.7, remained within recent range through her hospitalization. she was also continued on her calcitriol. . #. sle, gout: continued on outpatient doses of plaquenil and allopurinol. she also came in on prednisone for gout flare, and supposedly this was to be tapered, but have not been able to touch base with the pcp on this. will send her back to on a taper over 6 days. she will be covered with sliding scale insulin for steroid-induced hyperglycemia during these 6 days. . transitional issues: - amyloid angiopathy: will need very tight control of her bp with checks every 8 hours at her ecf. does not need repeat imaging unless clinical status changes - esophageal candiasis: given 3 week course of fluconazole, should have lfts checked and consider hiv test as screen for causes of immunosuppression - follow up biopsy of esophagus dnr/dni throughout hospital stay, confirmed w daughter/hcp outstanding tests: esophageal biopsy - returned consistent with candidal esophagitis. medications on admission: -

postoperative diagnosis: gastrointestinal cutaneous fistula, desmoid tumor of abdominal wall and desmoplastic reaction throughout her abdomen. procedure: resection of the abdominal wall desmoid; exploratory laparotomy, lysis of adhesions (3/1/2 hours), takedown ileostomy, small bowel resection, resection of fistula and end ileostomy. drainage of abdominal abscess. closure of enterotomies x2. feeding jejunostomy. indications: this patient has had a terrible situation with desmoids throughout her abdominal wall, including one which we partially resected and one which we did not resect last time. she fistualized following the last operation with an enterotomy which probably was not closed quite as well as it might have been, owing to the difficulty of where it was in the loop below the ileostomy. she continued to have an abscess through her abdominal wall on the vicryl mesh. we did remove the vicryl mesh here and then found the fistula. we were able to resect that loop and bring up a new loop of ileum for a new ileostomy which was patent and was not involved with the desmoid. it seemed to be pretty reasonable. there were 1 and possibly 2 enterotomies and we also closed serosal denudation. the following procedure was carried out. description of procedure: under satisfactory general anesthesia the patient was placed supine and prepped and draped in the usual manner. the place where the fistula had leaked through the abdominal wall was oversewn and we opened up the abdominal wall to enter an abdominal abscess and also an abscess within the abdomen which was then drained. the vicryl which was still present was removed and was involved in the abscess cavity. however, it was still sewn in place. this had given some ability to perform an area of fascia which we used finally for closure. we then turned our attention to the right side and then freed up the subcutaneous tissue and a very vascular abdominal wall with a desmoid which was approximately 13-15 cm long and probably 10 cm wide. this was resected. the abdominal wall was left intact. we gave it to pathology to ink the margins. we then entered the abdomen from above and from below, getting into free abdominal tissue. dr. was kind enough to act as the first assistant for part of the procedure. we began by lysing adhesions and this took about 3- 1/2 hours. after the adhesions were lysed and we had taken down some of the desmoid and freed up the entire small bowel although not from the desmoid mass, which was in the mesentery actually from the top to the bottom, we had been able to resect the ileostomy and bring it back and see that there were several areas of fistula in the ileostomy which we had 3 in all, including 2 which were chronic and 1 which i suspect we did taking down the ileostomy. we were able to resect this segment of the ileostomy and get back to reasonable bowel all of the desmoid was in the base of the mesentery. stapler was then placed across the ileostomy about i would imagine 6 to 8 inches proximal and fired. the ileostomy was then grasped with three 3-0 silks but we could not maneuver it into the old ileostomy because it would not reach and so we would close that later and then create a new opening for the ileostomy about 4 inches down the abdomen and this was done by making a cruciate incision in the abdominal wall which had a desmoplastic reaction as everything else she had did. we then continued with lysis of adhesions until we were certain that we had gotten the ileostomy down to the end and that we could do a new ileostomy and also to try and eliminate as many areas of obstruction with the desmoid as we could. the desmoid was huge and it was not possible to be absolutely certain that we could eliminate all the sites of obstruction. two areas of enterotomy, 1 on the right side, and 1 which i am certain was an enterotomy but may have simply been an area where she had an old abscess were then closed with interrupted 4-0 silk and 5-0 prolene. drain was placed down to the left lower quadrant where the questionable enterotomy was. this was so imbedded in the scar that closure with one layer of 5-0 prolene was all that i could manage whereas the other enterotomy, which clearly was an enterotomy, i was able to close with 2 layers of interrupted silk. after this i carried out a feeding jejunostomy in the right upper quadrant in a loop that i thought was close to the ligament of treitz that i could find. we then were able to irrigate the abdomen and place drain in the lower quadrant so the jejunostomy would witzel with five or six 4-0 silk sutures and bring it up out through a stab wound of the anterior abdominal wall in the left upper quadrant. gloves, gowns and drapes were then changed. the wound was closed in layers with a #1 prolene on the old ileostomy site which we closed horizontally with interrupted #1 prolene. we later closed this with 3-0 vicryl and 4-0 monocryl. we then brought the ileostomy out through the lower wound finally and maturing it after the manner of with four three-part sutures and then taking out the staple line and then two-part sutures which we then amplified to get a good fit from the ileostomy. the wound was then closed in layers with #1 prolene to the anterior abdominal wall. - drain was then placed over the fascia, 3-0 vicryl to the subcutaneous tissue and 4-0 monocryl with subcuticular closure. the drains were sewed in place with 3-0 nylon. the #19 drain was placed on her right and left lower quadrants. estimated blood loss: 3035 cc owing to the vascularity of the desmoid situation. replacement: she received 6 units of packed cells, 4 units of fresh frozen plasma, 500 cc of 5% albumisol and 1500 cc of crystalloid. urine output: 415 cc. she received vancomycin, gentamicin and fluconazole. the patient was returned to the recovery room in good condition. , dictated by: medquist36 d: 14:22:36 t: 19:05:26 job#: cc: , m.d.

postoperative diagnoses: bilateral hydronephrosis. procedure: cystoscopy, bilateral retrograde pyelogram, left ureteral stent placement, left ureteroscopy.attempted right stent placement assistant: , md. anesthesia: lma. estimated blood loss: minimal. indications for procedure: this is a 36-year-old female with a history of multiple surgeries, external beam radiation and desmoid tumor throughout her retroperitoneum who has long standing bilateral hydronephrosis (right worse than left). she presents for bilateral ureteral stent placement. description of procedure: the patient was seen in the preoperative area and marked and consented as per hospital policy and brought to the operating room. after adequate general anesthesia, she was placed in the dorsal lithotomy position and 120 grams of gentamycin was given intravenously. her genitalia were prepped and draped in a standard sterile manner; the vagina was filled with a whitish discharge which was thoroughly cleaned before the procedure began. the cystoscope was placed per her urethra. the bladder was fully inspected and no abnormalities were noted. first retrograde pyelograms were performed using the cone tip catheter in bilateral ureteral orifices. these were sent for plain films and then attention was given to the right ureteral orifice. a 0.038 stent wire was attempted to be placed up into the ureteral orifice up to the kidney, however, this failed. due to this attention was given to the left ureteral orifice where again this was intubated. the wire was easily passed up to the kidney and a 6x24 ureteral stent was placed over this wire. after this was performed, it was noted that the curl of the ureteral stent was migrating into the ureter. attempts at grabbing the stent was futile and the decision was made to place a second wire into the ureteral orifice and perform ureteroscopy. a second wire was placed up into the ureter freely and the balloon dilator was used to balloon open the ureteral orifice. after the orifice was dilated, the semi rigid ureteroscope was placed per her urethra and up into the ureter. the ureteral stent was visualized forceps was used to grab it atraumatically and to bring it down into the bladder. after this was in notably good position, it was reinspected using fluoroscopy and the upper curl was in the renal pelvis. at this point, attention was given again to the right ureteral orifice where a angled glide wire was used to intubate the ureteral orifice which passed into the renal pelvis with some difficulty; an open ended ureteral stent was placed approximately half way up the ureter. retrograde pyelogram was performed noting a very tight stricture at the mid and upper ureter. after many attempts, the angled glide wire was finally passed up into the kidney, however, we were unable to pass the 6 french open ended catheter. at this point, it was decided that we were not going to be able to place a stent into that kidney and the decision was to abort that side. at this point, the bladder was then again visualized. the stent was in good position and films were taken of the curl in the renal pelvis and in the bladder of the left ureteral stent. the bladder was emptied and the patient was awoken. she tolerated the procedure well. dr. was present and scrubbed throughout the entire procedure. she was transferred to the pacu in stable condition. ,

needs cosign followup hematology/oncology consultation note history of present illness: mrs. is a 36-year-old woman who has had a long history of desmoid tumors. she was initially diagnosed with this in and has had multiple desmoids removed from her foot and her back. in , she had a desmoid in her abdomen, which was resected. she was subsequently treated for a long period of time with gleevec. she was also treated with interferon for about two and a half years and then sulindac remotely. her most recent treatment last year was with doxil with an unknown number of treatments. she has also had radiation to the abdomen in the past in the adjuvant setting in after the first abdominal desmoid was resected. interestingly, she has also had hodgkin's disease diagnosed in as well, which is reported to us as being stage iv. she is currently considered to be cured from this. she was admitted to the hospital in with a desmoid tumor of the abdomen that was causing obstruction. she had this diverted by colostomy and has had multiple problems since. she has an enterocutaneous fistula in her abdomen, which has not healed. she was eventually discharged after many months in the hospital; however, spent about a month at home and then began to have fevers and chills and was re-admitted on with probable intra-abdominal infection. she has been treated with antibiotics with amp, gent, and flagyl for several days. she had a fifth ct of the abdomen on , which revealed an enterocutaneous fistula in the mid-abdomen. there was no gas or fluid collection or abscess in the abdomen and pelvis. there was a 7 x 3.9 enhancing right anterior abdominal wall mass, which has decreased in size since the prior examination. she also had a fistulogram on , which reveals the persistent enterocutaneous fistula between the ileum and the skin. midway through her hospital course, she had an increase in her fever curve and blood cultures did reveal enterobacter cloacae and she has been treated with antibiotics. with regard to her desmoid tumor, she has been on tamoxifen 120 mg daily and sulindac 300 mg daily for this and she has had some decrease in size by the ct on . she is eating intermittently only small volume. she is on tpn. she is not having nausea. she does feel very tired. she is having hot flashes due to tamoxifen, and in general, feeling not so well and having insomnia. physical examination: vital signs: temperature of 100.3, blood pressure 108/64, respiratory rate is 18, and pulse is 92. general: she is awake, alert, and oriented in no apparent distress. heent: pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular muscles are intact. sclerae are clear. oral cavity and oropharynx without lesion. neck: supple. no jvd, lymphadenopathy, or thyromegaly. pulmonary: clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm without murmurs, rubs, or gallops. gastrointestinal: exam is abnormal with a large palpable mass of approximately 10 to 12 cm in the right lower abdomen. this is about 3 or 4 cm on its medial edge from the area of the fistula. there is a catheter in the fistula as well as an ostomy bag overlying it. she also has the ileostomy bag in the left abdomen, which is draining normal-looking stool. her abdomen is mildly tender. there are good bowel sounds. no hepatosplenomegaly. extremities: no cyanosis, clubbing, or edema. laboratory data: today, white blood cell count is 5.1, hemoglobin 7.2, hematocrit 22.3, and platelet count is 326,000. pt 14.9, inr 1.3, and ptt 28.3. albumin 1.9, calcium 7.4, tibc 163, and ferritin 53. assessment and plan: 1. large desmoid tumor of the abdomen. mrs. continues to have problems with the enterocutaneous fistula. she has had an episode of bacteremia during this hospital course, which has apparently been controlled. she continues to have fistula output and persistence of the fistula on the fistulogram and ct. she is going to go to surgery tomorrow to potentially fix this. we discussed with her the tamoxifen and sulindac and we feel that she is not getting any benefit with 120 mg daily of tamoxifen and that the dose could be decreased to 20 mg daily and this will help to decrease her hot flashes. we agree with continuing the tamoxifen and sulindac while she is dealing with the infectious and enterocutaneous complications of the tumor and surgery. once she is improved and healed from these complications, we would entertain using chemotherapy to induce a response. she is having a very slow and expected small response to tamoxifen and sulindac, and if she has a stabilization of the response or actual growth, it would be beneficial to start chemotherapy with a doxorubicin-based regimen. in addition, vincristine and methotrexate on occasion have shown to be beneficial. currently, though, she is not in a position to receive cytotoxic chemotherapy with the ongoing fistula and infectious issues. with regard to her anemia, she likely has an anemia of chronic disease and would benefit from procrit. in addition, some iron supplementation will be beneficial. her ferritin is 53 in the setting of this active inflammation and bacteremia, which is probably falsely elevating it, so giving her a dose of iron with a fergon daily or b.i.d. with procrit will be beneficial and probably improve her overall sense of well being. after she is discharged from the hospital, we will see her in followup for the desmoid tumors and help to manage these long-term. she does have an oncologist local to her in schenectady, and we will try to be in contact with these practitioners when the time comes. i saw this patient with dr. . md escription document: cc: brief hospital course: was admitted to the surgical service of dr. at on with the diagnosis of an enterocutaneous fistula. she is well know to dr. . she was kept npo on tpn (cycled over night). there was a high suspicion for an intra-abdominal abscess at this time because she was spiking fevers and had abdominal tenderness. a ct scan on hd 2 showed no evidence for discrete rim-enhancing or gas-containing fluid collection/abscess within the abdomen or pelvis. please see full report for further details. on hd 3 she was given a soft solids diet. on hd 4, she developed a new fistula just above the old one, probably from the same loop. she spiked a fever to 101.5 overnight. on hd 7, she had a fistulogram which revealed filling of the previously demonstrated enterocutaneous fistula, retrograde from the location of the ostomy site, consistent with a fistula between the ileum and the enterocutaneous fistula. her tpn was increased to 35 kcal/kg/day. she spiked to 102.2. she was started on ampicillin, gentamycin and flagyl empirically. on hd 9, she was afebrile. her cultures had gram negative bacteria in the blood (septicemia). she was switched form ampicillin to fluconazole. on hd 10 her rlq tenderness was diminished. on hd 13, she was switched to clears only and npo after midnight for an operation to be done the next day. on hd 14 meropenem was added and she had the following operations: resection of the abdominal wall desmoid; exploratory laparotomy, lysis of adhesions (3/1/2 hours), takedown ileostomy, small bowel resection, resection of fistula and end ileostomy. drainage of abdominal abscess. closure of enterotomies x2. feeding jejunostomy. please see operative note for details. she was transferred to the icu following this operation. she had an epidural for pain. she was continued on gentamycin/fluconazole/flagyl. she was kept npo with an ng tube. she had 2 jp drains. on pod 1, she did well. her ileostomy was viable. flagyl and gentamycin were discontinued. on pod 2 tube feeds were started at 10cc/ hour and advanced to 20cc/ hour. she had a small amount of stool in her ostomy. later that day she had a bowel movement. fluconazole was stopped and she was off all antibiotics. she remained afebrile. on pod 3, tube feeds were advanced to 30cc/ hour. her ileostomy put out 950 cc. she had 2 episodes of emesis. on pod 4, she was much less nauseous, however a kub showed multiple loops of dilated small bowel with air-fluid levels indicating ileus versus obstruction. she tolerated sips. her ostomy output was high (3225) and 1:1 fluid replacements were begun. she had increased abdominal pain and distension. on pod 5 she was kept npo and tube feeds were held. she felt better. on pod 6 her 1:1 fluid replacements were discontinued. her ostomy output was 1475. on pod 7 her epidural was removed and she was started on po dilaudid. on pod 8 her jp drain output increased to 925cc. her j-tube was opened and put out 1200cc. on pod 9 she was started on po iron and epogen for anemia. her jp outputs decreased but her j-tube output continued to be heavy. on pod 10, she developed acute onset upper abdominal pain and pleuritic chest pain. a chest x-ray revealed a right lower lobe opacity. a kub showed improved obstruction, non-specific bowel gas pattern. since a pe was high on the differential, a cta was obtained that showed multi-subsegmental right pulmonary emboli. a ct of the abdomen demonstrated marked diffuse abdominal inflammatory process with multiple fluid collections is grossly unchanged from , without definite evidence for perforation. she was bolused 5000 u heparin. she was transferred to the icu. a heparin drip was started (goal ptt 60-80). on pod 11, upper and lower extremity ultrasounds were negative for dvt. on pod 12, she was stable and was transferred to the floor. her ostomy output was encouraging (275). on pod 13 her ostomy output was 45 and her j-tube output was 1900. on pod 14 she was started on 40cc/h rehydration. she was started on coumadin. on pod 15 she felt good. she was started on sips. a kub was unremarkable. she was started on minocycline. her fistula output was decreased (75cc) and her j-tube output was decreased (850). on pod 19, her jp outputs were low (70 and 20). her fistula was believed to be closed. on pod 20 her albumin was up to 3.4. on pod 22, an ultrasound of her abdomen showed a right lower quadrant abdominal wall collection with echogenic fluid and a slightly thick wall. this is approximately 50% smaller by measurement compared to prior ct scan of . a trace amount of fluid was aspirated from the abdominal wall fluid collection (this likely represents an organizing hematoma). a kub was unremarkable. on pod 23, her ostomy output was increasing and her j tube output was decreasing. on pod 24 her jp output was decreasing (30, 5). on pod 26, she was started on clears. her j-tube was clamped as a trial 1 out of every 4 hours. on pod 28 she was given sips of tomato soup. her j tube put out 1100 and her ostomy put out 560. on pod 29, her j tube was clamped every 2 of 4 hours. on pod 30, a kub was unremarkable. her j-tube clamp trials were stopped since the drainage was unchanged. on pod 33, her right jp was pulled. on pod 34, she had a renal ultrasound which showed bilateral grade 2 hydronephrosis, which is unchanged when compared to . it also showed cortical parenchymal loss in the right kidney suggesting chronicity. her jp drain culture showed enterobacter cloacae and stenotrophomonas that was pan sensitive. on pod 35 her tamoxifen was restarted. on pod 43 her j-tube outputs continued to rise with question of possible fistula with jp drain. on pod 47 a fistulogram was performed which showed a rlq enterocutaneous fistula that fills the bowel from the distal jp, with a small surrounding abscess. a renal scan was also performed which showed hydronephrosis, left greater than right. on pod 48 she was taken to the operating room where she underwent cystoscopy, bilateral retrograde pyelogram, left ureteral stent placement, left ureteroscopy, and attempted right stent placement. they were unable to place the right ureteral stent due to stricture. she tolerated the procedure well. on pod 49 an abdominal ct scan was done showing no new abscess. the scan also showed that the desmoid tumor was getting smaller. gentamycin irrigation of jp drain was started. on pod 55, ciprofloxacin and aztreonam were started for the previous jp drain culture of enterobacter cloacae and stenotrophomonas. on pod 63 she complained of nausea and vomiting. her j-tube was found to be twisted and was not allowing fluid to flow to gravity. this improved upon untwisting tube. on pod 64 a picc line was placed. on pod 65 she developed a fever to 101.9. cultures were taken and infectious disease was consulted. vancomycin and flagyl started, one dose of gentamycin was given. as she continued to have fevers and was tachycardic, a septic source was questioned. she was transferred to the t/sicu for closer monitoring. fluconazole was added to her antibiotic regimen. she responded well to antibiotic treatment and hydration, and on pod 68 she was taken back to the floor. on pod 69 her foley catheter was removed, a fistulogram was performed, and her j-tube was replaced. on pod 78 she was doing better. she was afebrile, her nutrition was improving, and her jp output was decreased. on pod 79 she was seen by the oncology service and they recommended continuing tamoxifen, as the desmoid lesion seemed to be regressing on this therapy. on pod 84 her repeat cultures had not grown out anything. by pod 91 she continued to improve. she remained afebrile, her nutritional status was good and her jp drainage was decreasing. on pod 97 she was experiencing some ruq tenderness. an ultrasound was performed which showed biliary sludge in a non-distended gallbladder. no stones were noted. a dose of cholecystokinin was given to clear out the gallbladder. on pod 98 there was decreased output from her ostomy. her ostomy was dilated; a catheter was placed and sutured to keep her ostomy open. on pod 106 her tpn amino acids were decreased, as her bun was elevated. after this change, her bun stabilized and started to trend downward. on pod 106 her bun was 27, down from 31. on pod 111, in planning for discharge, we stopped her aztreonam and started po ciprofloxacin. on this day, she spiked a temperature of 102.8. urine and blood were sent for analysis and culture. her aztreonam was restarted and a cxr was ordered which was negative for infective process. her urine was found to be grossly costive for infection, with urine culture positive for yeast. she was started on meropenem and fluconazole. by pod 118 she was afebrile and doing well. a trial of bactrim ds was given, which she tolerated well, and her aztreonam was discontinued. she was discharged home on pod 119 () with services. her oncologist office was contact with regard to monitoring her coumadin therapy and other medical issues. medications on admission: tpn coumadin toprol prevacid zofran kytril zelnorm flonase discharge medications: 1. paroxetine hcl 20 mg tablet

avr , atrial fibrillation s/p cardioversion, htn, gerd, and pvd who presented for elective coronary and renal angiogram complicated by pna and and is transferred to the ccu s/p cath for hemodynamic monitoring. . the patient was referred for renal angiogram after a recent hospitalization for claudication work up that revealed bilateral superior femoral artery disease and right renal artery stenosis >95%. she was referred for coronary angiogram after having an "abnormal ekg" at dr. office. of note, she has been having episodes of chest burning for the last 2 months described as "heartburn" that occurs primarily at rest and often when laying in bed after a late night snack. this pain lasts 30 min and is intermittently and inconsistently associated with bilateral arm and jaw pain, and always self-resolves without intervention. . the patient was admitted for pre-cath hydration given her cr of 1.8. she initially complained of epigastric tightness radiating to her chest and ekg showed no acute st changes. past medical history: aortic stenosis (valve area 0.5 in ) s/p mechanical aortic valve replacement afib s/p cardioversion htn gerd thyroid nodules/thyroid goiter

dominant system demonstrated two vessel cad. the lmca was patent. the lad had a proximal 50% stenosis. the lcx had a 90% stenosis in the mid vessel. the rca was known to be totally occluded and was not engaged. 2. limited resting hemodynamics revealed moderate systemic arterial systolic hypertension with an sbp of 162 mmhg. 3. renal artery angiography demonstrated a recanalized total occlusion of the right renal artery. 4- successful revasculrrization of a chronically occluded (recanalized) right renal artery, stented with a 5.0x18 mm genesis aviator stent with excellent result. 5- return for lcx intervention on thursday after hydration final diagnosis: 1. two vessel cad. 2. moderate systemic hypertension 3. successful stenting of right renal artery with aviator stent. 4. return to cath lab for lcx intervention on thursday after hydration cxr ap : impression: new left mid lung opacity, concerning for pneumonia. right lower lobe atelectasis and bilateral effusions. recommend followup radiograph in 4 weeks following treatment to assess for resolution. cardiac cath : comments: 1- ptca and stenting of the proximal lcx with two overlapping (3.0x8 and 3.0x12 mm) vision bmss with excellent results (see ptca comments) 2- unsuccessful attempt to revascularize the om2 cto. 3- staged pci of the mid lad (+/- re-attempt to open the om2) 4- limited resting hemodynamic assessment showed mildly elevated systemic arterial hypertension (154/68 mmhg). final diagnosis: 1. three vessel coronary artery disease. 2. successful ptca and stenting of the proximal lcx with two overlapping vision bmss 3. unsuccessful attempt to revascularize the om2 cto 4. staged pci of mid lad 5. monitor renal function, continue with mucomyst and hydration (add lasix to maintain urine output of 100 cc/hour) 6. continue medical therapy cardiac cath : 1. successful pci of the mid lad with a 2.5x18mm bare metal stent. 2. unsuccessful attempt to open the occluded om branch. final diagnosis: 1. three vessel coronary artery disease. 2. successful pci of the lad with bms. 3. unsuccessful pci of the occluded om branch. renal artery u/s : 1. normal-sized kidneys with no evidence of hydronephrosis. 2. a likely dilated or calyceal diverticulum in the right kidney which contains milk of calcium. 3. patient was unable to breathhold due to dyspnea, and therefore an accurate evaluation of the renal arteries could not be performed. cxr : findings: new left picc terminates in the lower superior vena cava. heart remains enlarged, and there is bilateral asymmetrical perihilar alveolar pattern, which has improved on the left, but is newly developed on the right. this is likely related to the patient's known multifocal pneumonia, but coexisting edema is also possible. moderate right pleural effusion with adjacent right retrocardiac opacity is not substantially changed. moderate left pleural effusion has slightly changed in distribution but is probably similar in overall size. brief hospital course: 80 f with htn, mechanical avr, a fib s/p cardioversion, pvd admitted for coronary and renal angiogram. hospitalization complicated by nstemi, acute renal failure, pneumonia, gi bleed, and hyponatremia . #. coronaries/nstemi: patient with non-exertional epigastric tightness radiating to the chest, found to have 90% occluded left circ on cardiac angio on , but was not intervened upon because of poor renal function. patient had chest pain following renal stenting, found to have new st depressions on ekg and rising cardiac enzymes consistent with nstemi. pt needed cardiac cath but renal functions following renal artery stenting was elevated. patient maintained on nitrodrip while renal functions improved. patient was brought for cath on , where she underwent a staged pci of the mid lad, following which was directly transferred to ccu for closer monitoring. overnight in the ccu the patient had more chest pain and concerning ekg changes which prompted a second cardiac catheterization on where she underwent a also placed in the lad. she then remained on aspirin 325mg po daily after which was switched to 81mg po daily upon starting heparin and coumadin (pt also on plavix 75). the patient was also started on atorvastatin 40 (not 80 due to arf). the patient had no further episodes of chest pain. . # anuric acute on chronic renal failure: in the ccu, the patient developed anuric arf after her 3rd catheterization on with a peak creatinine of 6.5. the etiology was thought to be contrast-induced atn as well as likely embolization from recent renal artery revascularization. the patient developed anuria. renal was consulted, who recommended against hd. instead they recommended lasix gtt, which resulted in pt slowly starting to make urine. unfortunately, the patient developed hyponatremia thought to be secondary to diuresis from lasix and this was discontinued. fortunately, the pt made urine on her own. electrolytes remained grossly normal except for hyperphos and hypermag which remained stable. the patient's creatinine continued to improve, on discharge her creatinine was 2.4. patient will follow up with nephrology as an outpatient # hyponatremia: nadir down to 118, thought to be secondary to free water excess in the setting of atn. pt was aggressively fluid restricted down to 1l/day and heparin drip d5w solution was changed to ns and sodium improved on its own. pt remained largely asymptomatic except for a headache and nausea which self-resolved briskly. on discharge her serum sodium was 129. # hypoxia: thought to be secondary to multifocal pneumonia and moderate and loculated (on 1 side) pleural effusions. pulmonary edema was also thought to be a contributing factor. pt remained hypoxic at a 5l o2 requirement throughout most of her ccu stay. the effusions were thought to be most likely secondary to chf given the lack of fevers or white count even after antibiotics. ip was consulted to tap the effusions to r/o parapneumonic effusion, however given the aspirin, plavix, heparin, thought it would be too high risk and risk of parapneumonic effusion was low. diuresis was also thought to wait given the patient's resolving arf. the hypoxia remained stable, saturating well on 2l, and is expected to self-resolve over time at rehab and beyond. # gi bleed: on pt passed a small red clot of blood in stool. pt without any history of gi bleed. no endoscopy or colonoscopy in our system. given the red blood seen, this would suggest a lower gi source. and given the lack of pain, this would suggest diverticular disease. bleeding is in the setting of being on a heparin drip. patient was transfused 2 units of prbcs over the course of this admission for a very slowly downtrending hematocrit. she continued to have guiaic positive stool, but no longer had any overt blood. on discharge, her hematocrit is 23.8. a repeat hematocrit will be checked at rehab. she would benefit from an outpatient colonoscopy, patient will discuss this with her primary care physician. # history of as s/p mechanical avr: patient was maintained on heparin drip for most of her admission because warfarin was held for procedures. she was restarted on warfarin. goal inr of 25.3.5 for the mechanical valve. on discharge her inr was therpeutic at 2.6. #. pump: history of as s/p mechanical avr in . tte on this admission shows regional lv systolic dysfunction consistent with cad, probable severe mitral regurgitation, moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension. following chest pain, patient found to have new s3, crackles on lung exam, concerning for heart failure. patient does not have baseline bnp for comparison. patient was maintained on heparin drip for mechanical avr while warfarin was held because of need for procedures. in the ccu the patient remained euvolemic to slightly hypervolemic. no prolonged diuresis was attempted. . #. rhythm: patient with h/o afib s/p cardioversion. currently in nsr. patient was continued on amiodarone . #. pneumonia/?sepsis - found to have left midlobe pneumonia. had one episode of hypotension and was febrile for one night. patient was treated with 7 day course of vancomycin and cefepime with no further fevers. . #. confusion - was confused/delirious for a day, likely due to morphine which was given for cp. patient was kept off of sedating medications. infectious workup was concerning for a pneumonia, which was treated with iv antibiotics. . #. renal artery stenosis: patient with severe 95% r renal artery stenosis now s/p stenting on . creatinine worsened in setting of cardiac and renal angiogram, may have been due to iv contrast, embolized plaque from stenting, newly started antibiotics, hypoperfusion of kidneys from hypotension. no eosinophils in urine, less suggestive of cholesterol emboli to kidneys. renal functions have been gradually improving. on discharge her creatinine was trending down at 2.4. she will follow up with nephrology as an outpatient. . #. hypertension: patient was controlled on carvedilol . #. gerd: stable. changed to ranitine given need for plavix . #. thyroid nodules/thyroid goiter: continued on home levothyroxine. . #. peripheral neuropathy/restless legs: started on ropinirol . #. urinary dysfunction: continue home terazosin, oxybutynin per home regimen. . #. degenerative joint disease: pain

because of the change in mental status as well as right hemiplegia, he was taken to the or for a craniotomy and evacuation. he was also loaded with dilantin. after the surgery, he has been difficult to arouse and occasionally opening his eyes and moving his upper extemities. because of that, he could not be extubated and the family made the decision to place a trach and peg. he was weaned off the ventilator and placed on a trach mist mask. currently, he will move his upper extremities purposefully, however, he has no promixal lower extremity movement but will wiggle his toes. he will occasionally open his eyes to voice but does not follow any commands. he is tolerating his tube feeds, his staples were removed from his head and the incision was well healing. on general surgery removed the staples from g tube incision and placed steri-strips at the site. he was noted to have a right arm cellulitis so he was started on keflex. he had some low grade temperatures. a cbc did not show any evidence of a leukocytosis and ua was negative. because he has been sedentary, lower extremity dopplers were obtained, which did not show any evidence of dvt. urine and blood cultures are pending. the low grade temperatures are likely secondary to the cellulitis. patient has also had low calcium and phosphorus, which has been repleted. please check a set of electrolytes in one week after discharge. he should also have a dilantin level repeated on tuesday. medications on admission: asa 81mg daily glucophage mvi metamucil keflex flomax effexor xr namenda aricept mg zyprexa

infected. his chest x-ray on admission was negative for acute infection. he appeared severely dehydrated on exam. the patient received intravenous fluids for his decreased hydration as well as for his hypotension. he also received antibiotics initially given his diarrhea and recent antibiotics course while at the nursing home as well as given his elevated white count. he also received one dose of fluconazole for oral thrush which did not resolve with oral nystatin. the patient had an x-ray of his ankle to evaluate for osteomyelitis underlying his ulcer. the xray did not appear consistent with osteomyelitis. the patient had a ng tube placed for additional nutritional support while in the hospital. he received tube feeds while in the hospital. he was tolerating softs by mouth prior to discharge. his ng tube was discontinued prior to discharge. he also had both an ekg and echocardiogram which showed evidence that the patient had a myocardial infarction prior to his admission to the hospital. his ekg appears consistent with an anterior mi. his echo demonstrated normal sized left and right atrium with mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. there was mild to moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with severe hypokinesis/akinesis of the distal half of the anterior septum, anterior walls and distal inferior wall. the apex is mildly aneurysmal and dyskinetic. the remaining segments contract normally (lvef = 35-40%). during his hospital course, the patient appeared less responsive with dysarthria and right sided weakness. he had a

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: ms. is an 84 year-old female transferred to from hospital. ms. has a past medical history significant for coronary artery disease status post stent, congestive heart failure, hypertension. she was evaluated at hospital for fatigue, heme positive stool. her hematocrit was found to be 17 and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy was negative. she then underwent a bowel prep and then colonoscopy at hospital. they found a right arterial venous malformation. that malformation was fulgurated on , which was two days prior to presentation to . the patient then developed increased temperatures, abdominal distention. this prompted the physicians taking care of her to order a kub. this kub showed free air. she then received a ct, which showed free air, pelvic fluid and stranding. this ct accompanied her to and was seen by us. the patient had been started on antibiotics and transferred to for further evaluation and treatment. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease status post stenting. 2. congestive heart failure. 3. aortic stenosis. 4. hypertension. 5. colon cancer. 6. left colectomy. 7. left lumpectomy secondary to breast cancer. 8. bilateral carotid end arteriectomies. medications: 1. lipitor. 2. zestril. 3. lasix. 4. aspirin. 5. tamoxifen. 6. aricept. 7. k-ciel. 8. protonix. 9. meclozine. allergies: no known drug allergies. physical examination: in general, she is awake, alert and in no acute distress. vital signs temperature 101.8. heart rate 124. blood pressure 158/70. respirations 28. her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. her heart is regular rate and rhythm. she has a 3 out of 6 systolic ejection murmur. her abdomen is dissented, tympanic. it is diffusely tender. she has right lower quadrant rebound tenderness. she also has guarding. extremities they are warm and well perfuse. pertinent imaging: ct of abdomen and pelvis from hospital shows positive free air, pelvic stranding and fluid. hospital course: ms. was admitted to the hospital the night of with an apparent cecal perforation from her colonoscopy. she was made npo, given intravenous fluids and antibiotics and laboratories were checked. it was soon apparent after she was admitted that she would need a repair of her cecal perforation. therefore she went to the operating room. in the operating room she underwent an exploratory laparotomy, a colorrhaphy, and an abdominal irrigation. in the operating room there was seen gross fecal soilage of her abdominal cavity. the patient tolerated the procedure well. please refer to the official operative note for all the details. immediately postoperatively the patient was admitted to the pacu and was followed by the intensive care unit team mostly due to the patient's critical aortic stenosis. the patient received a swan-ganz catheter for monitoring and adequate fluid resuscitation. her postoperative antibiotics included ampicillin, levofloxacin and flagyl. there were some difficulties in correctly placing her swan secondary to her anatomy, but after multiple manipulations the swan was placed correctly. of note the patient also had some postoperative psychosis, which from past medical records the patient was found to have a history of. therefore she was put on scheduled haldol intravenous. this was soon discontinued after a couple of days when the patient slowly returned to baseline in mental status. also immediately postoperatively, the patient was started on total parenteral nutrition secondary to the patient's deconditioned state. the patient did well in the intensive care unit. the only issue being her high blood pressure and heart rate and the patient was switched to intravenous hypertension medications as the patient was not tolerating po. by postoperative day four the patient was able to be transferred to the floor. at this point she was also having return of her bowel function and was started on clears, however, the total parenteral nutrition was continued. by postoperative day five the patient was continued to have high blood pressures and heart rate. the patient was able to be switched to po hypertension medications to which she had much better blood pressure control. she was also being diuresed with intravenous lasix with good response and over the next few days the patient was slowly weaned off of her total parenteral nutrition, restarted on a po diet and restarted on all of her home medications. the patient was discharged of all of her antibiotics, which were ampicillin, levofloxacin and flagyl on postoperative day seven after a seven day course. she had been afebrile and her white count had returned to . physical therapy and occupational therapy consults had been obtained during the hospital stay. they felt due to her deconditioned status that the patient would need an acute rehab stay immediately upon discharge from the hospital. this was also reinforced as the patient did have a fall the day before discharge in the bathroom while nursing was waiting outside. condition on discharge: the patient is stable tolerating a po diet and po medications, ambulating well with assistance, however, unstable without assistance. the patient was somewhat incontinent of urine. discharge status: to rehab facility , staples still in place to be discontinued in one week. discharge diagnosis: status post

respond to command. automated sampling captured some of the sharper alpha which correlated with the patient's electrographic events. eeg : this is an abnormal continuous video eeg given the presence of brief subclinical electrographic seizures over the right greater than left frontal leads. the seizures were predominantly appreciated in the early portion of the recording. there is a significant reduction to no seizures appreciated after the morning hours. there was one pushbutton activation without a clear electrographic correlate. on video, the patient is moaning with her family around. automated sampling captured a couple of the sharper alpha which correlated with the patient's electrographic events. the telemetry is significantly improved from the prior day's recording. eeg : this is an abnormal continuous video eeg given the presence of burst of bilateral frontal and temporal generalized slowing. this may represents her subcortical dysfunction. there were no electrographic seizures detected. mri brain : 1. 10 x 6 mm enhancing lesion in the right frontal lobe, with central intrinsic t1-hyperintensity, "blooming" susceptibility and adjacent filamentous vascular structures extending to the nearby dura. taken together, these findings suggest hemorrhage related to underlying cavernous angioma with possible associated developmental venous anomaly. a more remote possibility is dural av fistula, with cortical venous drainage. further evaluation via consultation with interventional neuroradiology service has been recommended. 2. expanded sella turcica, with an appearance suggestive of an "empty sella," a common variant, or possibly, arachnoid cyst of the suprasellar cistern. 3. large frontal subcutaneous lipoma. cxr : normal radiographic study of the chest. cerebral angiogram : underwent a diagnostic cerebral angiogram which was grossly normal, specifically with no evidence of a dural arteriovenous fistula. given the pre-procedural imaging, this favours an occult vascular malformation (ie. cavernoma) as the underlying cause for the findings on those studies. mri : 1. limited pre-operative study redemonstrating the 7 x 7 mm enhancing lesion in the right frontal region consistent with the previously-characterized cavernous angioma, unchanged in appearance since . 2. large left frontal subcutaneous lipoma. head ct : no evidence of postoperative hemorrhage. head ct : no evidence of interval hemorrhage from . head ct : expected evolution of postoperative bed in the right frontal lobe. no evidence of new hemorrhage. brief hospital course: 53 yo rh f who p/w new onset seizure, found to have r frontal cavernoma. her seizure was controlled with keppra and dilantin, and patient underwent cavernoma resection for better control of her seizures. she was monitored in the icu in immediate post op setting, but was called out to the floor. she was managed on the floor and stabilized prior to her discharge. # neuro: patient presented with seizure and found to have right frontal cavernoma, which was the likely cause of her seizures. patient's seizures were typified by leftward gaze, crying spells and confusion. on admission, patient was noted to be confused and lethargic, and eeg revealed that she was still having seizures while on dilantin. she was loaded with keppra and her confusion resolved. given that her seizures were difficult to control, discussion was had with neurosurgery and patient decided to undergo cavernoma resection. lipoma resection was done at the same time. post op course was complicated by continued headache, but repeat head cts only showed expected post op changes and no hemorrhages. her dilantin was adjusted to 450 mg daily, and her seizures were under control. she was seen by pt/ot and was discharged home with home pt and home safety evaluation. # cv: she was continued on telemetry without events, and her lipid panel showed slightly elevated ldl, but given no other risk, she was recommended lifestyle changes for now. # id: patient developed fevers during her post op period, and was started on iv vancomycin for a few days. however, her blood cultures were negative and her fevers resolved, so vancomycin was stopped without further issues. patient never developed leukocytosis. # gi: patient suffered from constipation, likely from decreased mobility and narcotics during her post op period. her bowel regimen was increased, and she was given magnesium citrate, which has helped her in the past. her constipation improved with increased bowel regimen. # heme: patient developed progressive anemia after her surgery for unclear reason. hemolysis labs were checked and were negative, and her guaiac was also negative. she was not transfused rbcs as her hct remained in high 20s. her hct improved to low 30s without any intervention. iron studies were done and did not show iron deficiency. medications on admission: preadmissions medications listed are incomplete and require futher investigation. information was obtained from patient. 1. multivitamins 1 tab po daily 2. magnesium citrate dose is unknown po frequency is unknown discharge medications: 1. levetiracetam 1500 mg po

increasing o2 requirement during this stay that has improved during his stay. . 1) fever: patient intially had low grade temps with increased tracheal secretions, tachypnea. his sputum cultures had sparse growth of mssa and pseudomonas. his u/a was positive for infection, he was covered w/ cipro/ceftaz for presumed, resistant gram negative uti, but urine culture had no growth. this was later changed to zosyn. he had one blood culture bottle positive for coag negative staph and all subsequent blood cultures have been negative. we decided to treat through his picc line, given his complicated access and rapid clearance of coag negative staph. he was started on vancomycin. he will need a total of 14 days of antibiotic therapy (zosyn/vanco). he was continued on this regimen on discharge, to be dosed at home by vna through picc line. . 2) hypoxia: patient had increasing o2 requirements during his stay. he failed trial of bipap due to trach cuff leak. he has known, chronic aspiration as well and intermittent fluid overload. patient diuresed with improvement in peripheral edema but still had poor resp status. tracheostomy was bronched by ip on and found to be abutting posterior wall. trach was pulled back and has been in good position ever since. patient has a long history of trach complications, malfitting, and a new trach w/ cuff is in the process of being made for this patient. his oxygen requirements have now decreased to 30% fi02 upon transfer to floor. he occasionally needs increased oxygen on deep suctioning and for approxmiately 20 minutes there after.

and was negative. lumbar puncture was performed and revealed 1 white blood cell and 0 red blood cells. glucose was normal and protein was slightly elevated at 63. cultures were pending at the time of discharge. gram stains were negative. rpr was negative as was cryptococcus antigen. herpes simplex virus pcr was pending at the time of discharge. the patient was initially treated with intravenous antibiotics for possible bacterial meningitis, but this was discontinued when the results of the lumbar puncture were returned. the patient was treated with intravenous thiamine and folate as well as multivitamins. he displayed no seizure activity in the first 24 hours of his hospitalization, though he still remained confused and lethargic at times. an electroencephalogram was performed in the micu and showed no epileptiform features. the patient was transferred to the floor on . at this time the patient had some witnessed seizure like activity, which began with left arm shaking and bilateral foot twitching. nearly after these episodes the patient loss consciousness for several minutes, but then was awake and responsive. a repeat electroencephalogram was performed on and still revealed no epileptiform features with only mild encephalopathy. an mri of the head showed no mass lesions and a possible right internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysm. an mra was then performed on and showed only tortuosity of the internal carotid artery. the patient was evaluated by neurology, which did not feel that his seizure like activities represented seizures. the patient did not lose consciousness during many of these episodes. acyclovir was discontinued due to the very low suspicion for herpes simplex virus encephalitis. at the time of discharge the patient was alert and oriented times three, conversant, and cooperative. it was believed that his prior lethargy and confusion may be related to hypersensitivity to benzodiazepines. 2. gastrointestinal: the patient's esophagitis resolved within the first 24 hours of hospitalization. he was increased to twice a day dosing of his proton pump inhibitor and should follow up with a gastroenterologist for evaluation of esophagitis or esophageal spasm. at the time of discharge the patient was tolerating oral intake well. discharge condition: the patient discharged in stable condition to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. esophagitis/esophageal spasm. 2. altered mental status, possibly related to benzodiazepine reaction. 3. peptic ulcer disease. 4. history of h-pylori infection treated with antibiotics. 5. possible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 6. history of alcohol abuse. 7. cryptorchism. 8. cervical spondylosis. discharge medications: 1. protonix 40 mg po b.i.d. 2. wellbutrin 150 mg po b.i.d. 3.

for several days prior to his presentation, and was febrile to 102.7 on arrival in the icu. id was consulted. treatment with vancomycin and cefepime was initiated. blood cultures eventually grew listeria. antibiotic was switched to ampicillin, then to pencillin for ease of dosing. surveillance cultures were drawn, blood cultures cleared after the first day. given the presence of a murmur on exam and bacteremia, patient underwent tte, which revealed no vegetations. . he has a hx of temporal lobe seizures and seized on . because penicillin is thought to be more eliptogenic than ampicillin, he was swtiched bact to ampicillin q4h with the intention of treating for a total course of 4 weeks starting the day his neutropenia resolved (). surveillance labs should be done weekly and faxed to id at and his oncologist--instructions attached in discharge plan. he will follow-up with id at in two weeks as scheduled. . oncology was consulted regarding management of cll and neutropenia. neupogen was started on , his counts rose and on he was no longer neutropenic. he has a history of cll treated with rituxan, prednisone, and treanda (bendamustine). patient's primary oncologist was contact; per him, patient takes a long time to recover counts. he gets 50% dose reduction of chemotherapy. his last treatment was . . # subarachnoid hemorrhage: he developed an extensive sah and sdh after fall from his bed at home with headstrike. cta brain did not show evidence of an aneurysm. neurosurgery did not feel that surgery was indicated at this time; they were actively involved in his care. patient was continued on felbamate, his home antiepileptic regimen. neuro checks were done q1hour and then increased to q4hours. three repeat head cts showed a grossly unchanged sah with no shift of midline structures or central herniation. he will have f/u head ct and appointment with neurosurgery in weeks. . # seizure disorder: continued felbamate. as above, he had one seizure this admission which was brief, sel-terminating, and did not recur after he was swwitched back to ampicillin. . # hypertension, benign: initially held triamterene/hctz in setting of febrile neutropenia, then restarted at home dose. acetozolamide was held throughout admission. . # urinary retention: had somewhat high post-void residuals. started flomax with good effect. dutasteride was discontinued. . # delirium: after the bulk of the medical issues above stabilized, the patient became delirious on and , this largely resolved 48 hours prior to discharge. he was seen by the geriatrics consult service, but had largely improved by then. they suggested that if he should become confused again that carbidopa/levodopa be discontinued as he takes this only for rls and not parkinson's dz.

Medical Report: allergies: codeine attending: chief complaint: 6 month/30 lb weight gain, increased cold intolerance, headaches, dysmenorrhea, and intermittent blurred vision. major surgical or invasive procedure: : trans-sphenoidal pituitary mass resection : re-exploration of surgical cavity and evacuation of hematoma history of present illness: this is a 37 y.o. f with a known pituitary mass followed with serial imaging. she originally complained of a 30 lb weight gain over a 6 months period. she also had associated increased cold intolerance and intermittent visual blurriness. visual field testing was normal. the last mri revealed an approximately 1 cm mass in the pituitary sella which appeared enlarged relative to the prior studies. she was seen by dr. (endocrine service). the endocrinologic work up revealed no significant abrnomalities. however, serial imaging revealed significant enlargement of the pituitary mass, with mass effect on the optic apparatus. given the size of the tumor, the patient elected to undergo surgical excision of the pituitary mass. past medical history: s/p c-section, pyelonephritis social history: works as customer representative. she denies hisoty of tobacco. she denied alcohol and ilicit drug use. family history: both parents alive. no oncologic history. grandfather died of aneurysmal rupture. father afflicted

planned transsphenoidal pituitary resection with dr. on . she was extubated and transfered tot he siuc postoperatively for strict bp parameters of sbp 100-140. the patient was followed closely by the endocrinology service. as per endocrinology service, the patient was treated with decadron therapy. closely follow up of the na and i/o were performed in addition. the post-operative course between pod0 and pod3 were unremarkable. on pod3, hwoever, the patient developed a left cn vi palsy that progressed to a third neuropathy. head ct revealed a small amount of blood in the surgical site. due to her neurologic deficit, the patient was consented for a surgical exploration. minimal amount of blood was seen intraoperatively. post-operatively, the patient was again closely monitored in the sicu.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 32-year-old female who is status post single car motor vehicle collision against a tree who was transferred from an outside hospital with a subdural hematoma. the patient had an alcohol level of 286 and was extremely somnolent on the scene with a question of loss of consciousness. she remained hemodynamically stable. she was an unrestrained driver but did have an airbag deploy. at the outside hospital she was intubated for difficulty rousing and had a questionable seizure activity during their evaluation there. their initial trauma x-ray series of lateral cervical spine, chest x-ray, and pelvis were negative. she had a cat scan of her head which showed a small right-sided subdural hematoma. she was loaded with dilantin and mannitol. upon arrival to the emergency department she was intubated and sedated, but hemodynamically stable. past medical history: unknown. allergies: unknown. medications on admission: unknown. physical examination on presentation: coma scale was 3t. heart rate of 64, blood pressure of 110/70, intubated and sedate. trachea midline. right orbital ecchymosis with upper eyelid laceration. pupils revealed left was 4 mm and right was 5 mm, fixed after paralytics. lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. no chest wall deformities or tenderness. cardiovascular revealed a regular rate and rhythm. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. extremities were warm. superficial bilateral knee abrasions. palpable dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. pelvis was stable. back revealed no stepoff. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: admission laboratories revealed a hematocrit of 38.2. inr of 1.2, ptt of 31. alcohol level of 255. arterial blood gas was 7.44, pco2 of 32, po2 of 84. radiology/imaging: a cat scan of her head showed a small right subdural hematoma. no mass effect. no shift. no herniation. there was a tiny right maxillary sinus fracture and a tiny orbital floor fracture with some blood in the sinuses. ct of the abdomen showed no intra-abdominal injury. chest ct showed no pneumothorax and no hemothorax. endotracheal tube in good position. impression: a 32-year-old female status post motor vehicle collision, an unrestrained driver with alcohol intoxication, now with a right subdural hematoma and right maxillary sinus and orbital fractures, and a right periorbital laceration. hospital course: neurosurgery was consulted for the patient, who placed a ventricular drain on her right, and she was kept in the intensive care unit intubated, but sedation was avoided, to evaluate her neurologic status. the patient was a jehovah witness, and therefore no blood products were to be given to the patient. mannitol was discontinued, as there was no evidence of edema, swelling, or mass effect. her intracranial pressures were within normal limits throughout. a repeat cat scan in the morning showed no worsening of her subdural hematoma, and her neurologic check showed that she was recovering full neurologic function as her alcohol level wore off. on hospital day two, she was awake and following all commands while still intubated, and her ventilatory status showed adequate oxygenation on ventilation, and she was able to be successfully extubated. she was extubated successfully without difficulty and remained stable in the intensive care unit for another day. a repeat cat scan of her head showed no worsening of her subdural hematoma, and she was started on a regular diet without difficulty. plastic surgery was consulted for her maxillary sinus and orbital floor fractures and felt that they were tiny nondisplaced, and no intervention was necessary. the edema over her right eye significantly improved. she had full extraocular movements, and no evidence of entrapment. visual acuity was fully intact, and no further intervention was felt necessary for her right eye. she was transferred to the floor on hospital day three where she continued to tolerate a full diet and was doing well. she had ct reconstructions of her thoracic and lumbar spine which showed no evidence of fractures, and her cervical spine was cleared clinically as she had no tenderness in her neck. therefore, she was able to ambulate without difficulty and will return to full neurologic function. a physical therapy evaluation showed that she required no post hospital therapy as she was fully functional to return home. her headache was controlled with ibuprofen and percocet, and she was continued on dilantin throughout the hospital course. she was to continue that for approximately three to four weeks until she follows up with neurosurgery for a repeat ct, at which time they will make a decision on whether to continue dilantin. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was good. discharge status: to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. right subdural hematoma. 2. right orbital floor fracture. 3. right maxillary sinus fracture. 4. right eyelid laceration. medications on discharge: 1. dilantin 100 mg p.o. t.i.d. 2. ibuprofen 600 mg p.o. q.6h. 3. percocet one to two tablets p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. discharge followup: the patient was

cervical spine. technique: imaging was performed from the foramen magnum to the cranial vertex without iv contrast. head ct without iv contrast: there is no fracture, hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, shift of midline structures, or evidence of major vascular territorial infarction. the ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration for the patient's age. the visualized paranasal sinuses and soft tissues appear unremarkable. impression: no fracture, hemorrhage, or edema. . ct c-spine () history: 59-year-old male with altered mental status, found down. comparison: none available in the pacs. technique: mdct helical acquisition was performed from the skull base to the cervicothoracic junction without iv contrast. multiplanar reformations were provided. ct c-spine without iv contrast: there is no fracture or malalignment. there is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. there is a mild left convex curvature of the cervical spine, which may be positional. however, in the lower cervical spine, most pronounced in c5-c6, there is degenerative change, with loss of disc height, endplate sclerosis, and anterior and posterior osteophyte formation. at this level, there is narrowing of the canal (3:62, 401b:32). there is a chronic fracture of the left first rib. the visualized lung apices and soft tissues appear unremarkable. impression: 1. no fracture or malalignment. . cxr () indication: 59-year-old man found down with altered mental status and tachycardia. study to evaluate for fracture or acute cardiopulmonary process. comparison: chest radiograph from . chest, single portable: there is near-complete interval resolution of a moderate left pleural effusion since , with residual tiny pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis on the left. the aerated lungs are clear. the cardiomediastinal silhouette and hilar contours are normal. limited evaluation of osseous structures demonstrates no acute displaced fracture. there is no pneumothorax. impression: 1. no acute cardiopulmonary process. 2. tiny residual left pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis, with significant improvement since . 3. no evidence of displaced fracture. if clinical concern is high for osseous injury, dedicated rib series may be obtained. brief hospital course: # shock: the patient was hypotensive with elevated lactate and creatinine, suggestive of end organ damage upon admission to the micu. there was concern for sepsis given an elevated white blood cell count with left shift and recent s. viridans bacteremia also with lll haziness that could represent pneumonia. hypovolemia in the setting of osmotic diuresis in the setting of diabetic ketoacidosis may also have contributed. he was started on vancomycin, zosyn, and ciprofloxacin. he was given iv fluids to maintain a cvp of . he was started on norepinephrine to maintain a map of >65. his hypetensive medication was held. he was quickly weaned of vasopressor support. cultures were unrevealing, the patient eventually was discharged from the micu to the floor a planned 10d course of abx. upon arrival to the floor the patient was found to be unable to swallow. this innability to swallow likely represents the source of his pneumonia (aspiration)->pna->dka->mixed hypovolemic/septic shock. . # dka: the precipitant was most likely infection, though there was concern for infection given the patient's reported non-compliance with medications and diet. he was aggressively hydrated with normal saline given his hypotension, which was then transitioned to d5 1/2ns. he was started on an insulin drip and his anion gap closed and he achieved normoglycemia. the service was consulted. he was started on broad spectrum antibiotics to cover for infection. his gap closed and never reopened on the floor. . # stricture: patient underwent egd on the floor revealing a 1cm stricture. this could not safely be dilated so a g-tube was placed for the patient to have tube feeds and treatment for his esophagitis, and return in four weeks for a dilation. patient was started on tf, and the tf was at goal rate of 80cc/hr at the time of discharge. . # pneumonia: the patient was found to have an elevated white count with left lower lobe infiltrate concerning for pneumonia. he was treated with vanc/cefepime/cipro for 10 days. he was afebrile, satting well on room air at the time of discharge. medications on

mesenteric angiographies with no evidence of active bleeding, vascular malformation or dysplasia brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the hospital with rectal bleeding. prior to admission, he was reported to be hypotensive and required 2 units of packed red blood cells. upon arrival to the hospital, he was hemodynamically stable despite having bright red blood/maroon blood per rectum with a stable hematocrit. his vital signs and hematocrit were closely monitored. he was reported to have a decreased hematocrit to 25 and received 1 unit of packed red blood cells. on hospital day #2, he underwent a colonoscopy which did not visualized any bleeding source. he continued to bleed and was transfused 1 unit of blood. a tagged rbc scan was performed, which was also unsuccessful in appreciating any bleed. multiple units of packed red blood cells were transfused over the next couple days as his hematocrit continued to drop and rebound post infusion. his bleeding increased from 600cc to 1000cc daily. a left descending colon bleed was discovered during the latest test and the patient was scheduled for ir embolization the following day. unfortunately the patients bleeding decreased over the evening prior to surgery and the ir team was unable to visualize or fix the bleed. bleeding resumed the following day and the acute care service was notified. on hd #11, he was taken to the operating room for an extended left hemicolectomy with mobilization of the splenic flexure. the operative course was stable. he had a 400cc blood loss and required 275cc of platelets. drain was placed in the left retroperitoneum. he was extubated after the procedure and monitored in the recovery room. his post-operative course has been stable. on pod #1, his -gastric tube and foley catheter were removed. during this time, he had an isolated episode of decreased oxygenation to 82% on room air. the patient was encouraged to use the incentive spirometer and his oxygen level gradually improved. he reported nausea with emesis on pod #3 and he was made npo and had the -gastric tube inserted. he was also reported to have an isolated episode of hematuria which was though to be related to manipulation of the foley catheter. his abdominal distention gradually resolved and his and the -gastric was removed on pod #6 as well as his hemovac. he was introduced to clear liquids with advancement to a regular diet. the regular diet progressed well until pod #8, when the patient had a recurrence of nausea and vomiting. a x-ray of the abdomen was done which showed dilated loops of small bowel suggestive of an ileus. a -gastric tube was inserted, and motility agents added to his medical regimen. over the course of the next 1-2 days his symptoms improved and the ng tube was removed. his diet was slowly advanced and he was able to tolerate this without any difficulties. at time of discharge he was also having bowel movements. during his hospital course, he was evaluated by physical therapy because of his long hospitalization and deconditioning. after evaluation, recommendations were made for discharge home. his vital signs have been stable and he has been afebrile. he has been tolerated a regular diet. his pain has been controlled with oral analgesics. his hematocrit has stabilized at 27. his plavix was resumed on pod #7. his prior anti-platelet medication,prasugrel was discontinued. aspirin was resumed on pod #8. he was discharged to home with instructions to follow-up with the acute care surgery clinic, cardiology, and gastroenterology.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 75-year-old woman with history of diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure recently diagnosed, atrial fibrillation, who presents with progressive shortness of breath, increasing lower extremity edema for the last one to two weeks. the patient reports approximately one year ago she could walk about half mile without any problems at all. since then, especially in the last few months she has had decreasing exercise tolerance, increasing dyspnea on exertion, though she was still able to walk around her house and perform her activities of daily living. in she first presented to her primary care physician complaining of these symptoms and has been treated symptomatically since then with beta-blockers and ace inhibitor and an echo obtained in of this year showed congestive heart failure with four chamber dilatation, arteriosclerotic disease, mr, tricuspid regurgitation, ejection fraction of 30 to 40% with severe wall motion abnormalities and pulmonary hypertension. over the last several weeks, she has had progressively worsening dyspnea on exertion to the point where she can no longer walk across the room without becoming severely short of breath. she denies shortness of breath at rest. although her family reports that they see her and she appears to be short of breath when sitting. the patient also reports increasing lower extremity edema with decreasing urination for the last one or two weeks. she has paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at baseline with an increased frequency of this recently now occurring multiple times per night. she denies any chest pain, palpitations, diaphoresis, or nocturia. also reports recently that she had episode of gastroenteritis with nausea and vomiting and in that setting was directed to stop taking some of her diuretics and ace inhibitors. this occurred approximately two to three weeks ago and so for the last several weeks she has not been on her usual medication regimen for her congestive heart failure. past medical history: 1. diabetes mellitus type ii. 2. hypertension. 3. congestive heart failure as detailed in history of present illness. 4. breast cancer, status post lumpectomy and radiation treatment to her left breast in and then status post left mastectomy in . 5. atrial fibrillation. 6. pulmonary hypertension. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. medication on admission: 1. coumadin 10 2. metformin 1000 mg twice a day. 3. glyburide. 4. procardia extended release 60. 5. tamoxifen 20 mg 6. hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg 7. k-dur 20 mg she had also been prescribed lopressor 25 mg twice a day, lasix 20 mg, lisinopril 20 mg and prandin 7.5 mg twice a day but it was not clear if the patient was taking these last four medications. family history: noncontributory. social history: the patient lives with her husband and 40'ish son. she reports that she was previously independent in her activities of daily living but has required assistance in the last several weeks secondary to short of breath. physical examination: temperature 96, heart rate 100, pulse 112/71. respiratory rate 28. o2 sats 96 to 98% on room air. in general this was a pleasant woman sitting straight upright using accessory muscles for breathing, speaking in short sentences and clearly in mild respiratory distress. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: exam was notable for a left subconjunctival hemorrhage with full extraocular movements and no pain, tenderness or discharge from her left eye. neck showed no lymphadenopathy. 2+ carotids, a large goiter and jvp over 14 cm reaching as high as the angle of her jaw while she was upright. heart: remarkable for tachycardia with an irregular rhythm. s1 and s2 were present as well as a 2/6 systolic murmur at the apex that radiated to the axilla. lung exam was notable for decreased breath sounds at the basis, left greater than right, slightly coarse breath sounds, scattered expiratory wheezes but no crackles. abdominal exam was soft and nontender with positive bowel sounds and a positive fluid wave. extremities were warm and well perfused with palpable dorsalis pedis pulses but had 4+ pitting edema to the knees bilaterally. neurological: left pupil was surgical and nonreactive. the right pupil was reactive. otherwise unremarkable. laboratory on admission: cbc and chem 7 were notable only for a potassium of 3.5, creatinine 1.0 at patient's baseline. urinalysis was notable for large blood, protein 30, urobilinogen 4, 6 to 10 red blood cells and few bacteria. electrocardiogram was atrial fibrillation with a rate of approximately 100 compared to an electrocardiogram from there were new inferior q-waves in 3, 2 and avf as well as new poor r-wave progression. chest x-ray showed stable cardiac enlargement with increased prominence of the pulmonary vessels and pulmonary vascular redistribution as well as bilateral pleural effusions consistent with congestive heart failure. echo from showed four chamber dilatation with a large arteriosclerotic disease that had a left to right shunt. normal left ventricular wall thickness with an ef of 30 to 40% with severe hypokinesis of the inferior and posterior wall. right ventricular hypertrophy with abnormal septal motion consistent with right ventricular pressure volume overload. mild 1+ aortic insufficiency, severe 4+ mitral regurgitation, moderately severe 3+ tricuspid regurgitation. pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 58 to 64+ ra pressure and no pericardial effusion. also of note on laboratory was coagulation studies obtained the following morning that showed an inr of 27 and on repeat was 38.6. hospital course: 1. congestive heart failure. on presentation to the hospital the patient's short of breath and lower extremity swelling were attributed to an exacerbation of her congestive heart failure likely from medication non-compliance due to changing directions from her physician about which pills to take secondary to intercurrent illnesses. additionally it is likely that the patient also had some dietary indiscretion with increased sodium intake. on admission the patient's short of breath and swelling were treated with doses of intravenous lasix however, initially she had poor response to this with fall in urine output. by the next morning, the patient had significantly decreased urine output as well as significant hematuria and management was complicated by her severe coagulopathy as discussed in more detail below. therefore, she was briefly transferred to the ccu for further management. she was effectively treated with high doses of intravenous lasix and zaroxolyn and began to have a significant diuresis which improved her symptomatically and after a two day stay in the ccu she was transferred back to the regular floor where we continued to diurese her and improve her symptomatically. additionally because the congestive heart failure was of recent onset, workup was undertaken to determine possible etiology for her dilated cardiomyopathy. given the echo findings of severe wall motion abnormalities as well as new electrocardiogram changes suggestive of old inferior and anterior infarct the patient had a pharmacological mibi stress test which showed a large moderate to severe fixed defect in the territory of the left anterior descending and a large, partly reversible defect in the territory of the right coronary artery. several days later in consultation with the heart failure service who was consulted to help in the management of the patient's heart failure it was decided to proceed with cardiac catheterization for possible correction of ischemia in the territory of the right coronary artery. coronary catheterization demonstrated elevated left and right sided pressures with a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 21 and a pulmonary artery pressures of 41/21 as well as showing no significant arteriosclerotic disease. coronary angiography demonstrated a 100% lesion in the left anterior descending, serial 70% lesion in the diagonal, a 100% lesion in the right coronary artery. therefore, given the severe nature of this two vessel disease, no percutaneous intervention was undertaken as it was most appropriate to try and revascularize the patient with coronary bypass grafting. the patient however, does not want surgery and has refused both coronary artery bypass graft as well as valve replacement surgery for her severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. therefore we continued with medical management of her heart failure with diuresis, ace inhibitors and aldactone. 2. coronary artery disease. as described above the patient had severe two vessel coronary artery disease that is not amenable to intervention through percutaneous route and the patient does not wish to undergo surgery. therefore, the patient was managed medically with beta-blocker, ace inhibitors and aspirin. nitrates may be added in the future should the patient develop symptoms of angina. 3. dysrhythmia. the patient comes in with a known diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and ventricular rate was controlled with use of beta-blockers. initially the patient came in on coumadin for anti-coagulation for her atrial fibrillation but this was held while she was in the hospital secondary to bleeding complications as described further below. additionally while the patient was in the hospital she was on telemetry and was noted to have multiple short runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia as well as multiple ectopic beats and multiple recurrences of ventricular bigeminy. given her ischemic heart disease her ef of less than 30% and her non-sustained ventricular tachycardia the electrophysiology service was consulted to determine if the patient would benefit from placement of a defibrillator. at the time of this dictation it is currently felt that because the patient's underlying heart disease has not been corrected which would require coronary artery bypass graft and valve replacement surgery which the patient does not wish it is not clear that she would benefit from placement of a defibrillator. at this time a decision will be deferred until the patient's primary care physician . returns from vacation. 4. heme. on admission the patient was found to be severely coagulopathic with an inr of between 27 and 38. she was given 10 mg of vitamin k and several units of fresh frozen plasma to reverse her coagulopathy as she was experiencing significant hematuria at the time. her coagulopathy was quickly corrected and while in the hospital she was briefly maintained on heparin as prophylaxis for her known atrial fibrillation although that was later discontinued. at the time of this dictation the patient's coumadin is still being held as it is unclear that she is not at significant risk from continued use of coumadin and she is being anti-coagulated solely with aspirin. 5. hypertension. the patient's outpatient medicines of procardia and

with a sliding scale and her metformin and glyburide were held while she was npo for procedures. the glyburide was reintroduced once she was taking good p.o's. other outpatient medicines such as tamoxifen was continued while in house. symptomatically the patient has continued to improve while she is in house. physical therapy has been consulted and they recommend placement in acute rehabilitation for a short-term in order to return her to her baseline independent level of functioning as she is currently severely deconditioned. the rest of the patients hospital course and

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: headache, malaise, nausea, disorientation major surgical or invasive procedure: lumbar puncture history of present illness: this is a 55 year old gentleman with chronic hypocapnia, central sleep apnea, episodic hyperventilati, onorthostatic hypotension, and autonomic dysfunction who is suspected to have a syndrome related either to mitochondrial disease, channelopathy, or an uncharacterized metabolic pathway disturbance. he presented to the ed after a particularly severe episode of his chronic hypocapnia. these episodes have been going on for eleven years and have been characterized by nausea, headache, malaise and lightheadedness. particularly bad episodes will lead to frank disorientation, as this one did. the patient monitors his end-tidal co2 at home and his urinary ph. he reports that, when his end-tidal co2 is low or his ph is not sufficiently alkalemic, he tends to get these episodes. the only treatment that seems to have helped his symptoms consistently is bicarbonate replacement. on consultation with his sleep physician, . , it was decided that, given his uncharacterized syndrome, he would be admitted to the micu for intensive monitoring of his blood gas and chemistries to further define the biochemical nature of his syndrome. this originally was to have occurred next week. he, however, had another episode of his hypocapneic syndrome yesterday while vacationing in . he was disoriented for two hours. home test of end-tidal co2 during a hyperventilation episode was in the 20's. his wife dr. 6 hours prior to admission and it was decided he should fly back to and present to the ed for admission to the micu. in the ed, initial vital signs t 99.7 p 94 bp 111/67 o2 97 on 2l. he was nauseated but no longer disoriented. he had taken bicarbonate last about 8 hours previously. a vbg revealed 7.41/25/147/16. bicarb was on chemistries which were otherwise unremarkable he received zofran for nausea as well as one liter ivf. on presentation to micu the patient reports his still feels his usual symptoms of nausea, headache and lightheadedness. he denies fevers or sick contacts. traveled to last week and does report his symptoms worsen with altitude or with air travel. past medical history: 1) central sleep apnea 2) coronary

channel-related syndrome. 1) hypocapnic syndrome, unknown etiology for past 11 years. no interventions currently beyond bicarbonate therapy. previously seen by many specialists including endocrine and renal. initially admitted to gather data x 48 hours. while inpatient abgs, electrolytes and urine electrolytes were collected every 2 hours x 24 hours, then every 4 hours x 24 hours. the only appreciable intervention in his respiratory alkalosis was improvement after oxycodone administration for a severe headache. we also sent serum metanephrines, urine metanephrines, and 24 hour urine 5-hiaa which were pending upon discharge. lp performed, ph reported as 7.7 with protein of 83, ammonia sent out. his csf ph is unexplained, and may be artifactual. following his lp, we attempted collection of abgs while patient was using his co2-rebreather device. mr. , however, was unable to tolerate the attempt. after discussion of an overall plan for diagnosis, he was discharged with follow-up for further evaluation, as well as prescriptions for oxycodone and ondansetron given that these were the only medications that provided symptomatic benefit and abg improvement during his inpatient stay. 2) orthostasis, long standing. not an active problem while inpatient, no intervention pursued. 3) concern for potassium wasting syndrome, very high urine k and persistent hypokalemia. potassium was monitored while inpatient and was never below 3.5. 4) cad, no symptoms of ischemia. known history of cad s/p pci to om2. was continued on propanol and vytorin while inpatient. he probably needs to restart his ace-i, but this was deferred to outpatient management. 5) tremor. not an active inpatient issue. was continued on propranolol while inpatient. 6) mood disorder. during inpatient stay he was intermittently very anxious with pressured speech. expressed great frustration about the lack of answers concerning his acid-base abnormalities. sw was consulted to help with patient coping while in the hospital. he was also continued on topamax and prn ativan. 7) hypogonadism. continued on outpatient androgel. as this is a nonformulary medication, he took his own medication while inpatient. medications on admission: 1) clonazepam 1.5 daily, 2) vytorin combined ezetimibe 10 mg, simvastatin 20 mg daily, 3) flonase 2 puffs once daily as need 4) lisinopril 10 mg

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 29 year old male with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, originally admitted to the hospital on , after change in mental status and shortness of breath. the patient had been living in a mental health facility and reportedly had shortness of breath and diarrhea. the patient was admitted to the outside hospital with temperature of 99.2 f., blood pressure 112/64; pulse 110; respirations 24; saturating 90% on room air which increased to 94% on two the patient was treated with ceftriaxone, however, developed worsening mental status change and respiratory failure requiring intubation. the patient was also found to be in acute renal failure. his initial serum toxicology screen at the outside hospital revealed negative alcohol, acetaminophen, salicylate, tricyclics, ethylene glycol and doxepin. his valproic acid level was 48.3 which was subtherapeutic. clonazepam was elevated at 1193 (normal reference range being 100 to 700), and his normal clonazepam level was 370. the etiology of his renal failure was never clarified. the patient was extubated and reintubated several times during his hospital course at the outside hospital. new arterial blood gases were done and the etiology of his hypoxia and respiratory distress was also unclear. the patient had episodes of hypotension requiring pressors. the patient also had an methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia that was treated with vancomycin, nadifloxacin, ceftazidine and flagyl by report. the patient also had thrombocytopenia and a question of a neuroleptic-malignant syndrome secondary to haldol (unclear diagnosis). the patient was then transferred to the medical intensive care unit at the . all of his intravenous and central lines were discontinued and changed over. the patient was extubated on with an arterial blood gas of 7.4, 39, 77, and pulse oximetry of 90%. the patient was noted to desaturate that night secondary to obstructive sleep apnea. the patient was treated for a pneumonia acquired while intubated with ceptaz and his methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus was treated with vancomycin. the patient was noted to have questionable positive acth stimulation test and was placed on stress dose steroids for that. subsequent blood cultures were found to be negative. the patient was followed by the psychiatric service during his hospital course in the intensive care unit. the patient was then transferred to the medicine service on , the hospital course of which will be dictated below. past medical history: 1. paranoid schizophrenia, bipolar disorder. the patient has been admitted multiple times for episodes of psychosis and agitation, the last one being . also has a

hypoactive bowel sounds. extremities with no edema, warm, no rashes. neurological: intubated, sedated, moves all extremities. hospital course: medical intensive care unit course briefly described in history of present illness. the remainder of hospital course from dates of , until the time of discharge will be dictated below: 1. pulmonary: most recent chest x-ray while in the intensive care unit did not have any commented infiltrate. the patient had sputum culture which had revealed rare methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus and the patient was treated with ceptaz and vancomycin for hospital acquired intensive care unit pneumonia with broad spectrum coverage for pseudomonas as well as methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. the patient did have a productive cough and low grade temperature with gram positive cocci in his sputum and was started on vancomycin subsequently on . his sputum culture then grew out a moderate amount of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, however, the patient then refused further vancomycin. he clinically improved with decreased cough and remained afebrile and further antibiotics were withheld until moderate methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus in sputum was deemed to be the possible etiology of prior fevers. the patient had no further oxygen requirement and was saturating greater than 90% on room air. pulmonary examination continued to reveal occasional coarse breath sounds but no crackles or wheezes. the patient was started on levaquin p.o. for additional coverage of potential community acquired pneumonia. in the end he defevervesced and we felt either we had adequately treated staph or atypical bronchitis, or he had a viral uri that resolved. 2. hypertension: the patient had blood pressures between 130s and 160s systolic, however, no additional blood pressure medication was added as patient was initially maintained on steroids for the question of adrenal insufficiency and subsequently blood pressures were not treated as the patient is a dialysis patient and did not want to further decrease his blood pressures during treatment. 3. acute renal failure: the patient continued to have some improvement in his urine output, however, his bun and creatinine continued to remain persistently elevated when the patient was not dialyzed. given that initial etiology of acute renal failure has never been identified, prognosis still remains unclear although urine output is encouraging. the patient continued to require hemodialysis throughout hospital course. repeat assessment of urine sediment showed muddy brown casts consistent with potential atn, however, prognosis again was unclear. the patient was followed by the renal service while in-house. the patient initially had a right quinton catheter which was discontinued and had a perma-cath placed for access on . the patient was maintained on nephrocaps and calcium acetate and was given epogen at his dialysis for his persistent anemia. 4. fevers: the patient remained clinically well after his ceptaz and vancomycin course were completed, after transfer from intensive care unit to medical service, however, the patient redeveloped fevers on and 10. the patient had episode of loose stool with c. difficile toxin assay negative. the patient had blood cultures drawn from his right ij catheter which were negative to date. these cultures were drawn on . the patient also had blood cultures drawn on from his perma-cath and these cultures were also no growth to date. the patient had no other localizing signs or symptoms of infection aside from an intermittent cough. again, sputum revealed a moderate amount of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus for which the patient was treated with a dose of vancomycin. the patient's right ij catheter was discontinued given the fevers and catheter tip also revealed no growth. 5. question of adrenal insufficiency: the patient had a repeat cosyntropin stimulation test which was normal. the patient at that point was on low dose prednisone which was then discontinued. his florinef was also discontinued at that time and his bp was well maintained off rx. 6. access: the patient had a right ij catheter that was maintained for part of his hospital course while he was on the medicine service, however, after the patient had two days of fevers, the catheter was removed. the patient then refused any peripheral intravenous access as he was a difficult stick and remained only with his perma-cath in place for access. this catheter was only used for dialysis. renal was having some diff accessing the permacath due to his diff with heparin, and they had been using some thrombolytics with some success. 7. thrombocytopenia: the patient was noted to have a positive hit antibody. the patient had no further heparin flushes and the patient's platelet count increased back to the normal range subsequent to this. 8. anemia: likely secondary to low epo from his acute renal failure, however, his mcv was 88, rdw 16.8. his iron level was 19. his ferritin was 915. 9. psychiatry: bipolar disorder / paranoid schizophrenia. the patient had a one-to-one sitter given his past history of violence, past suicide attempt and unpredictable nature of his agitation/psychosis. initially, one-to-one sitter was inside the room, however that upset him and the patient agreed to have one-to-one sitter if the sitter was just outside of the room. the patient did quite well throughout the remainder of the hospital course where he did not need any further p.r.n. medication such as trilafon for episodes of agitation. however, on , the patient was becoming increasingly agitated and required ativan and trilafon p.o. for agitation and his sitter was changed to a security sitter. the patient was maintained on his medications including piroxatine 10 mg p.o. q. day; ativan which was titrated from intravenous to p.o. and maintained at 0.5 mg p.o. three times a day, valproic acid 750 mg p.o. q. day and seroquel which was gradually titrated upward from seroquel and his dose at the time of dictation was 175 mg p.o. in the morning and 200 mg p.o. q. h.s. it was deemed that clozaril may be a better medication for this patient given that it has worked well with him in the past, however, psychiatry service deemed that they would not start the medication at this time as it also may complicate potential fever work-up because potential side effects include fevers and low white blood cell count. however, once medically stabilized, the patient will be transferred to a locked psychiatry unit to restart his clozaril; so at this time the patient was started on trilafon 8 mg p.o. twice a day. the patient was continuously followed by the psychiatry service during his hospital course. 10. nutrition: initially, the patient complained of decreased appetite and had fairly poor p.o. intake. the patient was given boost to drink between meals. the patient had calorie counts, however, the patient also occasionally refused hospital trays and hospital staff was unaware of whether patient was receiving food from outside the hospital. therefore, calorie counts were inadequate. however, the patient gradually stated that he was able to eat more as he regained his appetite and had decreased nausea. his po intake seemed to improve as his agitation reduced, so i expect that his po intake will mirror control of his psychiatric illness. 11. rehabilitation: the patient was seen by the physical therapy service. he was followed during his hospital course and did quite well. eventually he was deemed to not need physical therapy services. 12. disposition: the patient is being evaluated for placement to a psychiatric/medical facility where he will require in-patient psychiatric care as well as medical services that are able to connect him to dialysis. medical condition was discussed with patient's guardian, , phone number , who is the guardian and medical decision maker for this patient. his help was required when the patient began to refuse antibiotics such as vancomycin and the guardian stated that if the antibiotics became absolutely medically necessary, the patient would have to be potentially restrained in order to receive these medications or medications could be given at dialysis without complete awareness of patient as long as the guardian was fully aware that the patient would be getting these medications for medical necessity. if clinical status or psychiatric status changes after this dictation, a discharge summary addendum will be dictated. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 16:19 t: 17:48 job#: procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not

brief hospital course: 67 yo man admitted to neurosugery service for evacuation of right sdh after sustaining a fall. patient initial head ct revealed 1.5 cm r sdh at a largest width with 1cm subfalcine herniation. patient taken to or on for evacuation of sdh hematoma and subdural hemovac drain under general anesthesia without intraoperative complications. estimated blood loss was 500cc. patient extubated successfully after the procedure. he was tranferred to neuro icu after surgery for close neurologic and hemodynamic monitoring. his cervical spine ct did not show any fracture, and cleared clinically. patient placed on a lorazepam drip for known long etoh use to prevent withdrawal. his postoperative neurologic exam was: follows commands, open his eyes to stimuli, pupils equal reactive about 2mm, motor strenght antigravity on post op day one. on post op day two he was delirius, mumbling psychiatry consulted to manage delirium and dt. his drain removed on postop day two, without any complications. his vitals remained wnl. per psych rec he was changed from lorazepam to valium 10mg po q1h. on pod3 he was slightly less oriented on neuro exam and had a fever up to 101.7. he was pan cultured and got a chest xray, which showed atelectasis. he was started on empiric antibiotics and neuro checks were increased to q2hours. he completed his valium course and it was discontinued. on pod4 he was lethargic but following commands. his vital signs remained stable. he was switched from dilantin to keppra 1000 . his labs remained stable. on pod5 he was alert and oriented x2, followed commands, did not open eyes. he spiked a temp to 102.7 and had a cxr that was wnl. he had long periods of tachycardia up to 120 and tachypnea to 25. he got a head ct and a sinus ct. the sinus ct showed minimal mucosal thickening and the head ct showed a rebleeding into the subdural hematoma, not an unexpected postoperative finding. on pod6 the patient was transfered to neuro stepdown. his neuro exam remained stable and he was afebrile. his keppra was titrated to 1500 . on pod7 he was tachycardic and tachypnic overnight and had another cxr in the morning that showed right side pneumonia. he was started on levofloxacin and flagyl. he was also pancultured. he was alert and oriented x3, followed commands and had full strength. he failed a speech and swallow eval and was converted to iv medications. on pod8 he was febrile again to 101.7. an abd xray showed no sign of obstruction or dilation. his neuro exam remained stable. he passed the video swallow and was resumed on po meds. he did intermittently continue to have fevers and blood cultures from grew out gram positive cocci and he was begun on antibiotics but the final read on the cultures was only 1 out of 4 bottles positive and this was felt to be a contaminant by id and the vancomycin was ultimately dc'd.. he did receive 2 units of prbc on which had his hematocrit rise from 22 to 27 and he appeared a bit more active and alert. pt worked with him throughout his hospital stay but did recommend him for rehab hospital. he continued to have loose stools though somewhat resolving and c. diff cultures were negative x3. he did become afebrile. his inr was found to be slowly rising - he was seen by hematology who felt this was related to vitamin k deficiency (antibiotic related vs poor nutrition) and/or consumption of factor vii due to previous hematoma and recommended oral vitamin k. his wbc count was followed and did slowly decrease but then slight increase (from 17.7 () to 18.3 ()). in light of being afebrile, negative cultures,mri head that showed no evidence of infection, decreasing loose stools and improved clinical status of pt, no further action was taken. he should continue to have wbc count and inr followed at rehab. if has fever or wbc count rises, he should go to er for evaluation. medications on admission: atenolol 50 mg qd loratidine 10mg qd zantac 150mg qd mvi 1 mg po

comfort measures only (cmo) status and subsequent death: in brief, mr. experienced multiple adverse health events during his hospital stay, including infections, cerebrovascular accident in the setting of hypotension, deep vein thromboses, and episodes of acute respiratory distress. he expressed a desire to no longer undergo dialysis or other interventions such as nasopharangeal suction during his episodes of respiratory distress. his comorbidites and wishes were discussed with his family, and his family members made the decision to change the goals of care to comfort measures. hemodialysis was withheld and the patient subsequently expired on . the immediate cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest. # cva: patient had altered mental status and dysarthria after hd on . as described above, he was hypotensive to a sbp of 70 during hemodilaysis and likely suffered a hypoperfusive stroke. his head ct was negative for acute changes, though it did show progression of chronic, right frontal subcortical changes. he was , advanced since prior head ct in , but no acute evidence of infarction. # acute on chronic left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction: the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit upon admission and diuresed with cvvh with support with norepinephrine infusion. he was felt to be in decompensated heart failure with pulmonary edema as well as decreased cardiac output. he was transitioned to the floor, but then quickly had recurrence of pulmonary edema requiring icu transfer. he was further diuresed with cvvh but required vasopressor support for fluid removal. he was briefly covered with antibiotics in case pneumonia/infection was contributing to respiratory distress. patient was then transitioned back to hemodialysis without pressor support. afterload was aided with daily midodrine, and initially, with hydrocortisone. he appeared to be tolerating dialysis well until when he had an altered mental status acutely after dialysis during a session in which his sbp fell to 70. his altered mental status was attributed to a likely cva in the setting of hypotension. # urinary tract infection: the patient had an outside hospital urine culture grow ecoli esbl, but susceptible to augmentin and zosyn. he was initially treated with augmentin, and then changed to meropenem. after 9 days of therapy, he had a repeat u/a that showed pyuria, and was restarted on meropenem. his uti appeared to resolve but another urine culture taken approximately one week prior to his death was again positive for enterococcus sensitive to only linezolid and doxycycline. he was treated with linezolid until the decision to make his cmo was reached. # c diff: patient had loose stools and a c diff toxin was positive. he was treated with flagyl. # right pleural effusion: on admission, the patient was noted to have a developing right pleural effusion, but the family and the patient initally refused thoracentesis. with elevated white count and fever spike, empiric antibiotics were started with meropenem because of concern for parapnuemonic effusion. health care proxy then agreed to thoracentesis, which was performed, removing 1.5 liters of transudative fluid, cytology was sent. antibiotics were changed to levofloxacin on and an 8-day course was completed on . the pleural fluid was ultimately found to be a transudate by light's criteria. # esrd: patient initially required pressor support during hemodialysis stabilized afterward. however, he experienced a hypotensive cva during or after hemodialysis on as described above. # dvts: patient had dvts involving the right internal jugular, left subclavian, and axillary veins. he was started on warfarin on and heparinized prior to that date. medications on admission: 1. amiodarone 200 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 2. omeprazole 20 mg capsule, delayed release(e.c.) sig: one (1) capsule, delayed release(e.c.) po daily (daily). 3. digoxin 125 mcg tablet sig: 0.5 tabs tablet po once a day: total dose 0.0625 daily. 4. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 5. gabapentin 300 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po hs (at ). 6. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization sig: one (1) inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed. 7. ipratropium bromide 0.02 % solution sig: one (1) inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed. 8. b complex-vitamin c-folic acid 1 mg capsule sig: one (1) cap po daily (daily). 9. simvastatin 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 10. insulin insulin sc (per insulin flowsheet) 11. lantus 100 unit/ml cartridge sig: one (1) 9 units subcutaneous at : with ssi humulog. 12. tramadol 50 mg tablet sig: 0.5 tabs tablet po three times a day: prn. 13. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po twice a day: hold for sbp less then 100 / hr less then 60. discharge medications: expired discharge disposition: extended care facility: & rehab center - discharge diagnosis: primary: systolic heart failure hypotension pneumonia deep vein thrombosis anemia . secondary: hypertension diabetes dyslipidemia discharge condition: expired md procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified hemodialysis thoracentesis transfusion of packed cells infusion of vasopressor agent diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified thrombocytopenia, unspecified anemia in chronic kidney disease end stage renal disease unspecified pleural effusion urinary tract infection, site not specified congestive heart failure, unspecified unspecified septicemia atrial fibrillation personal history of malignant neoplasm of prostate aortocoronary bypass status diabetes with neurological manifestations, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled polyneuropathy in diabetes sepsis paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage v or end stage renal disease other and unspecified hyperlipidemia acute respiratory failure long-term (current) use of insulin intestinal infection due to clostridium difficile postinflammatory pulmonary fibrosis personal history of malignant neoplasm of large intestine personal history of transient ischemic attack (tia), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits atherosclerosis of native arteries of the extremities, unspecified cerebral artery occlusion, unspecified with cerebral infarction diabetes with renal manifestations, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled angiodysplasia of stomach and duodenum without mention of hemorrhage diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled background diabetic retinopathy acute on chronic combined systolic and diastolic heart failure shock, unspecified great toe amputation status Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to
