otherwise nonfocal. laboratory data on presentation: white blood cell count 22.3, hematocrit 32.7, platelets 233. white blood cell count differential was 89 neutrophils, 3 bands, 4 lymphocytes, and 2 monocytes. sodium 134, potassium 4.2, chloride 97, bicarbonate 27, bun 12, creatinine 0.6, glucose of 116. dilantin level was 8.5 (which was low). urinalysis had large blood, negative nitrites, small bilirubin, 11 to 20 red blood cells, 6 to 10 white blood cells, and occasional bacteria. microbiology from previous admission revealed methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus sputum culture which was sensitive to gentamicin, levofloxacin, and vancomycin. radiology/imaging: chest x-ray revealed a patchy opacity in the right lower lobe; otherwise, no infiltrates or congestive heart failure. cardiac silhouette was within normal limits. head ct revealed hematoma in the posterior corpus collasum extending into the right lateral ventricle which was improved since prior studies. electrocardiogram revealed sinus tachycardia at 106 beats per minute, normal axis and intervals. no acute st changes. hospital course by system: 1. infectious disease: his blood cultures grew 1/4 bottles of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus; and therefore, the patient was continued on vancomycin intravenously. his flagyl and levaquin were stopped. a transthoracic echocardiogram was done to rule out endocarditis, which was negative. a peripherally inserted central catheter line was placed for long-term antibiotic treatment. there was no evidence of osteomyelitis or septic joints on examination throughout his hospital course. 2. pulmonary: the patient received good tracheostomy care. he was able to tolerate being weaned from the oxygen and had no issues with his tracheostomy. 3. cardiovascular: the patient's blood pressures were initially treated with fluid hydration and neo-synephrine. he was ultimately weaned off the neo-synephrine and was transferred to the floor. the patient's ace inhibitor was held initially, but then was restarted before discharge. 4. gastrointestinal: the patient developed abdominal pain on hospital days two and three, and his liver function tests, and amylase, and lipase increased. when he was admitted the differential for this was between biliary stone disease, tube feed induced and shock liver. his liver function tests, amylase, and lipase returned back to normal. he also had no further complaints of abdominal pain. 5. nutrition: the patient's tube feeds were held in the initial setting of pancreatitis; however, they were restarted and promod with fiber was increased to a goal of 75 cc per hour. he tolerated this well. he received a swallowing evaluation and a video swallowing study to evaluate for aspiration, and there was evidence of macroaspiration. therefore, he only received a small amount of apple sauce, but was otherwise kept n.p.o., and tube feeds were continued. 6. renal: there were no issues. 7. endocrine: there were no issues. 8. hematology: there were no issues. 9. neurology: the patient was given a loading dose of dilantin when he came into the outside hospital, and free dilantin level was checked which was slightly low; and, therefore, the patient's dilantin dose was increased to 125 mg p.o. t.i.d. he was continued at this dose until discharge. he had no further seizure activity or neurologic complaints during this admission. discharge plan: discharged back to . outpatient transesophageal echocardiogram was arranged to definitively rule out endocarditis. condition at discharge: the patient was stable and at his current baseline. medications on discharge: 1. lisinopril 30 mg p.o. q.d. 2. dilantin 125 mg p.o. q.8h. 3. thiamine 100 mg p.o. q.d. 4. folate 1 mg p.o. q.d. 5. multivitamin. 6. prevacid suspension 30 cc p.o. q.d. 7. vancomycin 1 g intravenously q.12.h. times two weeks total for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia through peripherally inserted central catheter line. discharge diagnoses: 1. methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. 2. question of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia, right lower lobe. 3. seizure disorder. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 16:10 t: 15:31 job#: procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified diagnostic ultrasound of heart other esophagoscopy enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances diagnoses: other convulsions peripheral vascular disease, unspecified methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus septicemia alcohol abuse, unspecified pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus methicillin susceptible pneumonia due to staphylococcus aureus personal history of malignant neoplasm of larynx Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

that time showed normal rv size and function, normal left ventricular size with an ef of 35 to 40% with inferolateral hypokinesis, mild mitral regurgitation, mild aortic regurgitation, no pericardial effusion. hospital course: the following morning the patient was brought to the operating room at which time he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. please see the operative report for full details. in summary the patient had coronary artery bypass graft times five with a left internal mammary coronary artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the pl and obtuse marginal sequentially, saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending coronary artery and saphenous vein graft to the diagonal. the patient's bypass time was 139 minutes. his cross clap time was 82 minutes. he tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. at the time of transfer the patient had a mean arterial pressure of 90. he was in normal sinus rhythm. he had amiodarone at 1 mg per minute, propofol at 20 micrograms per kilogram per minute and nitroglycerin at 0.5 micrograms per minute. the patient did well in the immediate postoperative period. sedation was reversed. he was weaned from the ventilator and successfully extubated. he remained hemodynamically stable throughout the day and night of surgery. on postoperative day one the patient remained hemodynamically stable and his amiodarone was transitioned to oral medications. his swan-ganz catheter was discontinued. additionally the patient was noted to be confused and agitated following extubation striking out at nurses. therefore he remained in the intensive care unit for further hemodynamic as well as monitoring of his neurological status. on postoperative day two the patient remained occasionally disoriented, but easily reoriented. hemodynamically the patient remained stable. he was off all intravenous medications and it was felt that he was ready to be transferred to the floor, however, there were no floor beds available and the patient therefore stayed in the intensive care unit. on postoperative day three the patient remained hemodynamically stable. his neurological status had improved and he only had rare episodes of confusion. there were still no floor beds available and he stayed in the intensive care unit until postoperative day four when he was transferred to the floor for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. following transfer to the floor the patient's foley catheter was removed. he failed his initial voiding trial and the catheter was replaced at that time. the patient was restarted on his terazosin and it was also noted that the patient was having episodes of atrial fibrillation with a heart rate to 120. he remained hemodynamically stable throughout these episodes. on postoperative day six the patient's foley was again discontinued. he did initially void following removal of his foley catheter, however, he had an episode of greater then twelve hours without voiding. a bladder scan done at that time showed greater then 900 cc of urine in his bladder. his foley was then reinserted and urology was consulted. on postoperative day seven the patient had reached an adequate activity level to be considered safe and ready for discharge to home and on postoperative day eight the patient was discharged to home with visiting nurses services. at the time of discharge the patient's physical examination revealed vital signs temperature 99. heart rate 69, sinus rhythm. blood pressure 134/62. respirations 18. o2 sat 98% on room air. weight preoperatively a 74.4 kilograms, at discharge is 82 kilograms. neurologically alert and oriented times three,

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 77-year-old woman with metastatic ovarian cancer with multiple medical problems who presented with hypoxia after being found hypoxic at rehabilitation with an elevated white count. the patient had been discharged from the two days prior to this admission. a brief summary of her most recent history includes a diagnosis of an inoperable nonamenable small-bowel obstruction secondary to her tumor. she was managed medically for this and discharged to rehabilitation in early . on she was found by her family at rehabilitation to be unresponsive except to painful stimuli, hypoxic, and febrile to 104.6 degrees fahrenheit. she was also tachycardic and tachypneic. she was brought to the emergency department at . she was intubated and started on pressors and antibiotics; including vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and flagyl. these antibiotics were then changed to unasyn and vancomycin. she was weaned from pressors. she had several brief episodes of supraventricular tachycardia which were self-limited. she was also found to have renal failure which was attributed to obstructive uropathy from tumor along with a small prerenal component. on , antibiotics were changed to vancomycin and ceftazidime. on , these were changed to vancomycin and meropenem for pneumonia once sensitivities were determined. she was extubated on . she received hydrocortisone for adrenal insufficiency. she was diuresed and called out to the floor on . a neurology consultation on found the patient able to follow one-step commands and state her name, and her encephalopathy was attributed to sepsis. on , she was found to have dark drainage from her nasogastric tube which was thought to be blood. her right arm was found to be swollen, and an ultrasound revealed a deep venous thrombosis. anticoagulation was not started given the patient's risk of a gastrointestinal bleed. on , she was found tachypneic and hypoxic and began to be febrile as well. there was concern about aspiration. she was managed with oxygen up to 100% on nonrebreather and then weaned downward. she had blood from her ostomy as well as occult blood positive nasogastric tube output. her mental status worsened, and she no longer responded to pain or voice. she had no spontaneous eye movements. she was transfused multiple times for a falling hematocrit. she was noted to be in respiratory distress by her family on . at that time, she was also noted to pulseless. cardiopulmonary resuscitation was begun. a code was called. the patient had asystole after a prolonged code which included epinephrine, intubation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and atropine. the patient went into ventricular fibrillation. she was shocked at 300 joules and given one ampule of bicarbonate. she then developed a narrow complex tachycardia with a systolic blood pressure in the 110s with a palpable carotid pulse. she was transferred to the medical intensive care unit where she was rapidly weaned from pressors, and she was treated for her pseudomonal pneumonia and urinary tract infection. the patient was extubated and then failed secondary to her mental status and had to be reintubated. she was found to be adrenally insufficient as well. she suffered from thrombocytopenia. she was negative for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibody. she had a negative blood smear. medications were not felt to be causing the thrombocytopenia. eventually, her platelets recovered. the patient had a tracheostomy. she continued to have minimal output from her colostomy secondary to her obstruction by tumor. she was deemed not to be a surgical candidate. the patient was intermittently febrile, but cultures were not revealing. she did develop positive cultures on and ; which were not treated as there had been no change in her clinical status. her urinalysis was negative for signs of infection. she was discharged to rehabilitation on . at the rehabilitation facility she was found to be hypoxic and have an elevated white blood cell count with thick material being suctioned from the tracheostomy. she was returned to the emergency department. past medical history: 1. ovarian cancer diagnosed in ;

fracture. bilateral mastoid sinus opacification probably inflammatory in nature. cyst at the floor of the maxillary sinus with a sclerotic margin probably a benign process, may represent an otogenic lesion. chest x-ray persistent bilateral retrocardiac consolidation persistent rounded opacity in the left inferior hilum, diffuse linear opacity with areas of tram tracking and peribronchial cuffing suggestive of bronchiectasis. hospital course: the patient is a 70 year-old male with alcohol abuse and a history of deep venous thrombosis who was admitted after pedestrian motor vehicle accident. the patient was brought to the operating room for left tibial open reduction and internal fixation and repair of left humerus fracture. postoperatively course was complicated by alcohol withdraw and the patient was transferred to the medical service. 1. pulmonary: postoperatively, the patient was found to be agitated, hypertensive, tachycardic and diaphoretic and felt to be in alcohol withdrawl. the patient received ativan and was electively intubated for airway protection and transferred to the micu service. in the micu the patient became febrile to 102.4 with sputum culture growing serratia. chest x-ray showed bilateral pneumonia and the patient was started on clindamycin and levaquin. the patient subsequently developed a diffuse erythematous rash and clindamycin was discontinued and the patient was started on flagyl. the rash, however, remained unchanged and levaquin was discontinued and the patient was started on ceftriaxone. the rash persisted and became more diffuse and ceftriaxone was discontinued and the patient was started on gentamycin. as the patient continued to be febrile vancomycin was started. the patient was treated with a fourteen day course of antibiotics with subsequent improvement in the rash. due to persistent fevers, the patient underwent right pleural thoracentesis. pleural fluid had 270 white blood cells with 53% polys and 6850 red blood cells. pleural fluid culture showed no growth. the patient was extubated on hospital day number thirteen, but failed extubation and was reintubated. the patient self extubated himself on hospital day number sixteen. the patient maintained oxygen saturation of 95% on 4 liters nasal cannula and the patient was transferred to the floor. on the floor the patient required frequent suctioning and 100% nonrebreather to maintain adequate oxygen saturation. in addition, the patient remained febrile with temperature to 101.6 and the patient was transferred back to the micu. arterial blood gases done at that time showed a ph of 7.46, pco2 42, and po2 of 83 on 100% nonrebreather. repeat chest x-ray showed evidence of congestive heart failure and the patient was diuresed over 5 liters with improvement in oxygen saturation. the patient remained afebrile for the seven days prior to discharge and maintained adequate oxygenation on nasal cannula o2 on the day of discharge. 2. cardiovascular: the patient presented with a history of hypertension with no known coronary artery disease. the patient developed transient hypotension on hospital day number seven requiring a short course of norepinephrine. hypotension occurred in the setting of respiratory decompensation and hypoxia. after transfer to the floor the patient developed increasing o2 requirements. on hospital day eighteen chest x-ray done showed evidence of congestive heart failure. echocardiogram was obtained, which showed ef of 45%. there was lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum, lv cavity size was normal. there was mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction. there were no valvular abnormalities. the patient was diuresed over 5 liters with improvement of oxygen saturation. the patient remained hemodynamically stable prior to discharge. 3. infectious disease: the patient developed bilateral pneumonia in the setting of depressed mental status. sputum cultures were positive for serratia marcescens. blood cultures, urine cultures and pleural fluid cultures show no growth. the patient was treated with a fourteen day course of antibiotics. of note, the patient developed diffuse erythematous rash on ceftriaxone and levaquin. the patient remained afebrile in the week prior to discharge. repeat chest x-ray on showed persistent bilateral retrocardiac consolidation, persistent rounded opacity in the right inferior hilum and diffuse linear opacities with areas of tram tracking and parabronchial cuffing suggestive of bronchiectasis. as the patient remained afebrile with decreasing white blood cell count and decreasing oxygen requirement, no additional course of antibiotics were given. 4. neurological: the patient presented with altered mental status likely secondary to alcohol intoxication. postoperatively, the patient remained confused with altered mental status. ct of the head showed no evidence of hemorrhage or infarction. the patient's delirium was likely secondary to ongoing pulmonary infection. prior to discharge the patient was alert and oriented times three and answered questions appropriately. of note, the patient had received haldol for periods of agitation, which during this hospital course was likely contributed to his decreased mental status. 5. gastrointestinal: on hospital day number six the patient's hematocrit decreased from 27.8 to 26 associated with ob positive stools. the patient was transfused 2 units of packed red blood cells. nasogastric tube was placed on hospital day nineteen for enteral tube feedings. speech and swallow evaluation on hospital day twenty one showed signs of aspiration. repeat speech and swallow evaluation on hospital day twenty six showed the patient was able to tolerate po without signs of aspiration. the patient was started on soft solid diet with monitoring for signs of aspiration. 6. hematology: the patient presented with a history of deep venous thrombosis. repeat lower extremity ultrasound showed extensive thrombus within the left femoral vein with no right sided thrombus. the patient was started on intravenous heparin. the patient was given one dose of coumadin 5 mg on the

on admission, pneumonia was felt less likely given lack of clear evidence on chest x-ray and low grade temperature. treated for copd exacerbation with levaquin and high dose pulse steroids with plan for quick taper. shortness of breath remained at baseline for 48 hours after admission. on hospitaly day 2, repeat chest x-ray obtained in setting of hypotension showed worsening rll opacity and vancomycin and cefepime were started due to history of mrsa and pseudomonnal pneumonia. on hospital day 3, patient complained of increased dyspnea, was not hypoxic. she was also persistently hypotensive unresponsive to fluids and was transferred to the icu for further management. in the icu a central line was placed and cvp monitoring revealed low values indicative of hypovolemia. she was resuscitated with iv fluids and her blood pressure was initially responsive. she was continued on iv vancomycin, iv cefepime and iv levofloxacin for double coverage given her recent hospitalization and history of pseudomonal pneumonia, and she completed an eight day course of these antibiotics. her respiratory status improved slowly with decreased work of breathing. she required only minimal oxygen supplemenation intermittently. # sepsis - likely secondary to pneumonia and c. diff diagnosed on hospital day 1. initially normotensive on admission, mrs. was hypotensive to sbp 80's on hospital day 2 with adequate response to 2l fluid bolus. anti-hypertensives held. on hospital day 3, patient became hypotensive to 70-80's with little improvement after 3.5l bolus. due to persistant hypotension, transferred to icu and continued vancomycin and cefepime for pneumonia as well as po vancomycin for c. diff. in the icu a central line was placed and cvp monitoring revealed low values indicative of hypovolemia. she was resuscitated with iv fluids and her blood pressure was initially responsive. presumedly she was hypovolemic due to massive gi losses from c.diff. she was continued on iv boluses prn. although he blood pressure did not improve greatly and she remained modestly hypotensive with sbp 90s, on gentle diuresis was started given her history of diastolic chf as well as anasarca from worsened hypoalbuminemia. she tolerated this well without worsening of her blood pressures. after completing an eight day course of antibiotics for pneumonia, the plan is to complete an additional 6 week taper of po vancomycin for recurrent c. diff infection. central line was pulled on day of discharge without complication. # c. difficile - patient was admitted with leukocytosis, diarrhea and low grade fevers. c. diff assay was positive. vancomycin po and iv flagyl were started due to recurrent c. diff infections. diarrhea was monitored. as above, she was volume resuscitated. her course appears to have been complicated by a protein losing enteropathy causing a worsening of hypoalbuminemia (3. --> 2.2 now). this has worsened her anasarca and made diuresis more difficult. repeat kubs, including one on day before discharge, showed no evidence of significant bowel dilation but did indicate ongoing gut edema. plan to extend c.diff treatment (oral vancomycin) an additional 6 week taper after completion of her pneumonia antibiotics given recurrent, severe c. diff infection. # hyperkalemia: 5.5 on admission with no ekg changes. resolved without intervention. # chf (lvef 50-55% in ): on admission, patient was euvolemic with no sign of decompensated chf. initially continued lasix and beta blocker with low sodium diet. in setting of hypotension and sepsis, discontinued anti-hypertensives. these were held until when lasix was restarted for gentle diuresis which she tolerated well. # h/o pe and bilateral dvt : inr 2.7 on admission with no sign of pe. inr became supratherapeutic on fluoroquinolone and was held. she was additionally given vitamin k 5 mg once when her inr > 7. the inr then drifted down to safe levels and coumadin was restarted when inr level became therapeutic. on day of discharge, coumadin was held as her inr was 3.4 on am of discharge. medications on admission: 1. fluticasone-salmeterol 500-50 mcg/dose disk with device : one (1) disk with device inhalation (2 times a day). 2. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization : one (1) neb inhalation q4h (every 4 hours) as needed for wheezing, sob. 3. fluticasone 50 mcg/actuation spray, suspension : two (2)spray nasal daily (daily). 4. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule : one (1) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 5. bisacodyl 5 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) : two (2) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po daily (daily). 6. tiotropium bromide 18 mcg capsule, w/inhalation device : one (1) cap inhalation daily (daily). 7. aspirin 81 mg tablet, chewable : one (1) tablet, chewable po daily (daily). 8. gabapentin 100 mg capsule : one (1) capsule po hs (at bedtime). 9. atorvastatin 40 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 10. prednisone 5 mg tablet qday 11. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet : 0.5 tablet po bid (2 times a day). 12. calcium carbonate 500 mg tablet, chewable : one (1) tablet, chewable po tid (3 times a day). 13. cholecalciferol (vitamin d3) 400 unit tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 14. multivitamin tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 15. warfarin 2.5 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po every other day (every other day). 16. warfarin 5 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po every other day every other day). 17. lasix 20 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po once a day. discharge medications: 1. gabapentin 100 mg capsule : one (1) capsule po hs (at bedtime). 2. aspirin 81 mg tablet, chewable : one (1) tablet, chewable po daily (daily). 3. calcium carbonate 500 mg tablet, chewable : one (1) tablet, chewable po tid (3 times a day). 4. cholecalciferol (vitamin d3) 400 unit tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 5. multivitamin tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 6. atorvastatin 40 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 7. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization : one (1) neb inhalation q4h (every 4 hours) as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing. 8. tiotropium bromide 18 mcg capsule, w/inhalation device : one (1) cap inhalation daily (daily). 9. loratadine 10 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po once a day. 10. fluticasone-salmeterol 500-50 mcg/dose disk with device : one (1) puff inhalation twice a day. 11. ranitidine hcl 150 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 12. nystatin 100,000 unit/ml suspension : five (5) ml po qid (4 times a day) as needed for thrush. 13. miconazole nitrate 2 % powder : one (1) appl topical (2 times a day) as needed for rash. 14. warfarin 2 mg tablet : one (1) tablet po once daily at 4 pm. 15. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet : 0.25 tablet po bid (2 times a day): hold for sbp < 110 or hr < 70. 16. furosemide 10 mg/ml solution : twenty (20) mg injection once a day: adjust as per clinical assessment of volume status. home dose is 20 mg po qday. 17. prednisone 20 mg tablet : 20 mg x 2 days, then 10 mg x 3 days, then 5 mg daily tablets po daily (daily): home dose is 5 mg/d. 18. vancomycin 125 mg capsule : 125 mg qid x 5 days, then 125 mg x 7 days, then 125 mg qday x 7 days, then 125 mg every other day x 7 days, then 125 mg every three days x 14 days, then stop capsules po for 40 days: first day after other antibiotics stopped is . to be continued for full taper as specified above. discharge disposition: extended care facility: tcu -

no skin changes. extremities warm. hospital course: on , the patient was taken to the operating room for repair of an incarcerated left inguinal hernia. as part of the procedure the patient underwent an ileocecectomy and a left hernia repair. intraoperatively, the inguinal hernia was found to be strangulated. please see dictated operative note for further details. the patient came from the operating room with - drain routed to the left scrotum and a second - drain to the right pelvis. the - drain that went to the right pelvis was removed on postoperative day four. postoperatively, the patient was found to be in atrial fibrillation and an ekg showed t waves in v2 and v3, lead iii and lead avf. because of this and the patient's electrolyte abnormalities, the patient was sent to the unit for a day. the patient was placed on cefazolin and flagyl, both of which were continued throughout the patient's stay on the purple surgery service. postoperatively, the patient had three sets of cardiac enzymes and ruled out for a myocardial infarction; however, the patient continued in ventricular fibrillation. he was placed on metoprolol and the dose was gradually increased for rate control. at the end of postoperative day one, the patient was transferred to the floor. the following day, the patient appeared to be in moderate distress; he had end expiratory wheezes and a tender abdomen with voluntary guarding. the - in his scrotum put on two ml and the - in his abdomen put out 30 ml. because of the patient's pain, the patient was changed to an intravenous pca machine. by postoperative day two, the patient's sodium had risen to 132 with an ongoing infusion of normal saline. his potassium continued to drop periodically, being 3.4 on postoperative day two, for which he was repleted. his bun was 25 and his creatinine was 1.1. a cardiology consultation was obtained and they found that the atrial fibrillation and left bundle branch block were new on this admission. they recommended oral anti-coagulation when consistent with surgery and rate control. cardioversion was anticipated when the patient had a therapeutic inr. they suggested an increase in beta blockers and a tsh level and coumadin with a goal inr of 2.0 to 3.0 when safe. the patient's tsh came back at 6.1 and the patient was therefore started on oral levothyroxine. an echocardiogram was also obtained which showed an left ventricular ejection fraction of 25 to 30% with hypo and akinesis of several walls, suggestive of coronary artery disease. the patient also had a three plus mitral regurgitation, a four plus tricuspid regurgitation and probably mild aortic stenosis. they felt that this represented a case of ischemic cardiomyopathy with severe systolic heart failure and severe valvular disease added to the atrial fibrillation. they suggested that the metoprolol be increased, that an ace inhibitor be started, and that digoxin be added to the patient's regimen. all of these were done. on postoperative day three, the patient continued to have voluntary guarding of his abdomen but his pain appeared to be brief. later on postoperative day three, the patient reported a large amount of flatus and was therefore begun on a clear diet. his intravenous was hep-locked and he continued to require repletion for low potassium. on postoperative day five the patient had a benign abdominal examination and reported flatus. he tolerated his liquid diet the previous day very well and therefore he was advanced to a full diet which he again tolerated well. on postoperative day five, the patient was transferred to the cardiac service for further work-up of his ischemic cardiomyopathy. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization coronary arteriography using two catheters injection or infusion of platelet inhibitor diagnostic ultrasound of heart enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances other electric countershock of heart colonoscopy other small-to-large intestinal anastomosis other incidental appendectomy transfusion of packed cells open and other cecectomy insertion of drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) other and open repair of direct inguinal hernia with graft or prosthesis diagnoses: congestive heart failure, unspecified acute kidney failure, unspecified atrial fibrillation other malignant lymphomas, unspecified site, extranodal and solid organ sites acute respiratory failure pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus acute vascular insufficiency of intestine diverticulosis of colon with hemorrhage inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without mention of gangrene, unilateral or unspecified (not specified as recurrent) Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

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: morphine attending: chief complaint: syncope major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 60 y/o m with pmhx of sss s/p pcm & vertrobasilar insufficiency. p/w recurrent syncopal episode yesterday where he sustained an arm fracture. he was at his nursing home where he developed sudded loc and a fall. he was found by the nursing home staff on the floor. there was neither loss of bowel or bladder. prior the the event he felt lightheaded, but denied diaphoresis, chest pain or palpitations. he presented to for evaluation and was found to have a right humeral fracture. he had a ct that was negative for ich or mass. he was referred to after he had a telemetry strip that was a wct at ~100. during that initial episode, he became transiently hypotensive (vitals not documented) and he received a total of 2l of ns. . upon arrival to the er his intial vitals signs were 98.7 80 120/68 22 99ra. while in the er he had another 2 runs of wct ~115 bpm with rbbb morphology. per the er nursing note he had a tele recording of hr 22o and had a percordial thump following which the patient returned to a sinus rhythm at 96bpm. he was given 2 doses of 150 mg of amiodarone iv. . of note he just had his pacemaker interrogated in early (per patient report at hospital) and the device was functioning and detected no wct. he presented to that hospital for a fall as well and was told that he had had a tia but had negative ct head. . on review of symptoms, he denies any prior deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. he denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. he denies exertional buttock or calf pain. all of the other review of systems were negative. . cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, ankle edema, palpitations. past medical history: - hemorrhagic stroke ; with residual right sided weakness; thinks he might have had x2 strokes prior to that (x1 = loss of vision in both eyes; second = vision split) - dmii - depression(requiring inpatient hospitalization in past) - peripheral vascular disease with known occlusion of both carotid arteries with collaterals from the vertebrals. - diastolic heart failure based on c.cath showing impaired filling, 30% diffuse narrowing lcx. - no intervention; mild cardiomyopathy with ejection fraction 43%, but normal coronary arteries. - past polysubstance abuse and hx suicide attempts - hyperlipidemia - hypertension - s/p guidant pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome - copd - s/p c5-6 laminectomy - seizures (?): has trialed neurontin in the past--> no help . cardiac risk factors: +diabetes, +dyslipidemia, +hypertension social history: social history is significant for smoking 10 cigarettes per day. there is a history of heavy alcohol abuse ( pint to 1 pint per day of vodka x 10 years), but he stopped drinking about heavily 5 years ago. his last drink was 2 weeks ago. he lives in a nursing home ( center ) and used to be in . he walks with a cane. family history: there is no family history of premature coronary artery disease or sudden death. father died of mi at 86. mom died of mi at 72. physical exam: vs: t 95.4, bp 102/45, hr 82, rr 12, o2 100% on 2l gen: wdwn

magnesium-1.6 04:10am pt-12.4 ptt-31.1 inr(pt)-1.0 brief hospital course: mr. is a 60 year old man with a history of recurrent syncope, sick sinus syndrome s/p ddd pacemaker, bilateral carotid stenosis, copd, dm2, h/o hemorrhagic stroke, who presented with recurrent syncope complicated by r humeral fracture. . syncope: head ct from showed no acute bleed, only hypodense areas consistent with old infarction or injury. electrophysiology was consulted and his pacemaker was interrogated, showing episodes of pacemaker mediated tachycardia and some rate-drop episodes but no history of tachyarrhythmias. he was thought to have vagal/reflex syncope. he could not be started on a volume expander due to his hypertension. the rate drop response was turned off to evaluate how he would do without it but as there was no difference, it was reinstated. he was also started on a beta blocker, which may have some marginal benefit. however, it is likely that he will continue to have syncopal episodes, as his type of neurocardiogenic syncope cannot be well managed by either pacemaker or medications. pt is at high risk of another fall syncope and will need pt evaluation at nh for . followup was scheduled with dr. in cardiology. . r humeral fracture: x-rays demonstrated r humeral fracture. seen by orthopedic trauma service. it was determined that no operative management was warranted for the injury. he was fitted with a humeral fracture brace. ortho's physical therapy recommendations are: 1) pt's right arm is non-weightbearing. 2) pt will need to perform flexion/extension exercises twice daily of right hand & wrist. he will need to continue receiving heparin sc for dvt prophylaxis as long as he is not ambulating. follow-up was scheduled with dr. on at 8:20am. would recommend dexa scan as outpatient to evaluate for osteoporosis as patient has been on long-standing steroids. . pain control: pain management was a significant issue throughout hospitalization. he was initially on a dilaudid pca, but with poor effect. the pain service was consulted and he was started on oxycontin 20mg , dilaudid 4-8mg q3-4h prn, acetaminophen 650mg q6h, gabapentin 100mg qhs with little improvement per patient. there was concern about drug-seeking behavior. of note, pt has a history of suicidal attempt after sequestering pain medications. however, he was observed by the nurse to be taking his medications. he developed constipation and was c/o abdominal pain as he was initially refusing bowel regimen. he was started on a more intensive bowel regimen with subsequent resolution and will need to continue the bowel regimen as long as he is taking pain meds. . epigastric pain: pt was complaining of epigastric burning. in light of his cardiac history, an ekg done which was unchanged from baseline with no st-t changes. likely gastritis, not surprising as he has been on asa and prednisone. started on gi prophylaxis with no further complaints. . copd: he was breathing comfortably throughout the hospitalization with good oxygen saturation and without evidence of acute exacerbation of copd. he was continued on his spiriva and advair at his home doses and provided with albuterol nebs prn. as there was no indication for a standing dose of prednisone 20 mg, we began slowly weaning his dose to 10 mg. he will need to taper it off slowly per the following schedule: prednisone 10 mg x 12 days, then prednisone 5 mg x 14 days. . dm2: he experienced no active issues. metformin was held, and he was provided with sliding scale insulin with good glucose control. . seizure disorder: he has a history of seizure disorder but recent episodes were not thought to represent seizure disorder. he was continued on keppra and scheduled for outpatient followup with dr. on , at 11:40am.

the patient was found to have 4/4 bottles growing mssa at an outside hospital. the patient was initially continued on vancomycin but switched to nafcillin once the sensitivities were available. a transthoracic echo initially showed no evidence of a vegetation (albeit poor windows), and a tee was obtained, which showed a small vegetation on the patient's prosthetic aortic valve. infectious disease was consulted who agreed with nafcillin and adding gentamicin and rifampin. the nafcillin was switched back to vancomycin when evidence of acute interstitial nephritis was found. . # hypotension - presentation of hypotension in setting of bacteremia. his initial wedge pressure was 32 with a cvp of 14-24, which was consistent with a cardiogenic shock. the patient remained dependent on peripheral dopamine and initially improved, but later again became severely hypotensive. a swan was re-floated which showed extremely high wedge pressure in the 60s in the setting of hypotension. cardiac output numbers however showed somewhat preserved cardiac output with an extremely low systemic vascular resistance which was consistent with septic shock. the patient remained dependent on maximum pressor support, but his blood pressure continued to fall. a family meeting was gathered, and it was determined that the patient was to be made comfort measures only. the patient expired on the evening of when pressors were discontinued. . # acute on chronic systolic chf - the patient had evidence of volume overload as above, and was diuresed with lasix. however, he developed acute renal failure and became unresponsive to diuresis. . # acute renal failure - the patient was found to have evidence of acute renal failure that worsened over the course of his admission. renal was consulted, and white cell casts were found on urine sediment inspection, which was concerning for acute interstitial nephritis. nafcillin was discontinued and vancomycin was re-initiated as above. . # thrombocytopenia -

dissection. gen: the patient was admitted to the sicu for managment after the elective colonic interposition after a perviously failed gastric conduit after an esophagectomty for esophageal carcinoma. neuro: patient was treated with fentanyl, versed and propofol. he was awake and alert on pod 2. he would write notes to communicate his needs. cv: due to low blood pressures he was started on pressors and he remained intubated. nephrology was aware of this patient and he started on cvvh through his tunneled subclavian catheter on pod#1 with ultrafiltration with a goal of remaining even. he remained on low dose vasopressors unitl pod 5. after his re-intubation he became hypotensive likely due to the medications for sedation. he developed a pressor requirement that remained for the rest of his admission. pulmonary: he was brought to the icu intubated. he received approximately 3.5l of fluid in the or along with 4 units of prbcs. he remained intubated, but was put onto ps ventilation by pod2. due to his volume status, vocal cord paralysis, and vasopresor requirement great care was taken in deciding when to extubate. on pod6 he was off pressors, tolerating dirusesis, and had good strength and mental status. he was extubated with anesthesia on stand by. during this trial of extubation he became slightly tachypnic with a moderate increase in his work of breathing. his pco2 steadily increased, and as a result he was re-intubated. he remained intubated for the remainder. gi: on pod 4 low volume, diluted tube feeds were started via the j-tube. pt tolerated this well. prior to his extubation they were held and then re-started after his re-intubation. he was taken back to the or on for exploration of the neck wound. this demonstrated necrosis of the condiut. please see op note for full description of procedure. id: after his re-intubation on pod6 there was concern for an aspiriation pna. a bal was sent and eventually grew enterobacter cloacae heme: post-operatively he did require blood transfusions to maintain his hematocrit. the patients hct stablized. t/l/d: catheter was placed for hemodynamic monitoring. he did require frequent fluid bolus to maintain his pressors in addition to albumin. on pod#2 his lactate was trending down and norepi was being weaned though he did require a small amount to maintain his map. his inr spiked to 5.9 and he was treated with 2 units ffp and his repeat inr came back at 1.2. pod#3 he was started on trophic feeds. his hd catheter clotted off and tpa was instilled which worked. after the patient returned from the or on (pod8) discussions were held with the family and the patient. they wished no further treatment and care was withdrawn. the patient passed after vasopressors were withdrawn. medications on admission:

nonradiating, but that his shortness of breath worsens when he lays flat. he notes that the last time he felt this kind of pain, he was found to have a large pleural effusion. the bedside ultrasound was brought over and did not show any evidence of an effusion, and because he is hd dependent, he was sent for a cta, which showed an acute pe as well as evidence of chronic pe's. his pressures were

stable appearance to low lying cerebellar tonsils as noted on prior exams. soft tissues and osseous structures are unremarkable. perinasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. impression: 1. no evidence of hemorrhage. 2. unchanged chiari i malformation and prominent ventriculomegaly . echo: conclusions: the left atrium is mildly dilated. the estimated right atrial pressure is 11-15mmhg. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 60%). tissue doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets aremildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. there is severe mitral annular calcification. at least mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is present. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , the annular calcification is now severe, and the mitral regurgitation is increased. . discharge labs: brief hospital course: 46 year old ethiopian man with a history of type i diabetes mellitus, ckd stage v on hemodialysis, malignant hypertension, hiv on haart who presented with concomitant severe nausea, vomiting, chest pain and subsequent shortness of breath. the following issues were addressed on this admission: . 1. respiratory distress: initiating event thought to be nausea and vomiting secondary to gastroparesis. patient unable to take anti-hypertensives and combined with sympathetic tone from nausea, vomiting, patient then likely devloped hypertension with systolics to >200's (>250 in emergency room). chest pain secondary to vomiting or possibly ischemia with severe hypertension. shortness of breath appears to have developed secondary to pulmonary edema from severe hypertension. low oxygen requirements even in this setting. patient underwent cta of chest and found to have acute segmental and subsegmental pe's as well as chronic pe's, ultimately not thought to have been responsible for presentation. patient was placed on nitroglycerin drip in er and in the for short time. once nausea controlled, home blood pressure regimen re-initiated with good control. patient dialyzed morning after admission for pulmonary edema. with control of nausea, blood pressure and dialysis, resp distress resolved. no further episodes throughout admission. patient transferred to the floor on hd#2, . see pe below. cardiac enzymes cycled and remained flat, no concerning ecg changes. . 2)pulmonary emboli: patient found to have acute segmental and subsegmental pe in rll and chronic pe. initially unable to rule out head bleed (ct head images affected by contrast dye from cta) and therefore heparin therapy withheld. patient transferred to the floor and had repeat head ct without evidence of head bleed. heparin gtt and coumadin

================== ruq us (): 1. biliary sludge with gallbladder and adherent stone or small polyp. no biliary ductal dilation. 2. normal liver. 3. splenomegaly. hida scan (): normal hepatobiliary scan. ruq us : 1. distended gallbladder filled with sludge without specific signs of cholecystitis. if there is clinical concern for acalculous cholecystitis, hida scan is recommended. 2. splenomegaly. hida (): lack of tracer activity in the gallbladder is consistent with acute cholecystitis. u/s abdomen (): 1. the gallbladder is distended and contains a large volume of sludge. there are no obstructing calculi identified. no gallbladder wall thickening to suggest inflammatory etiology. however, if there is ongoing clinical concern for cholecystitis, a hida scan is recommended. 2. the spleen measures 14 cm, decreased compared to the previous ultrasound. u/s abdomen (): 1. percutaneous cholecystostomy tube remains in place within a decompressed gallbladder without evidence of adjacent fluid collection. 2. splenomegaly. 3. right pleural effusion. abdominal imaging: ================== ct abdomen (): 1. ascending and transverse colon wall thickening with adjacent stranding is compatible with colitis which may be infectious, inflammatory, or less likely ischemic given distribution. colonoscopy is recommended to exclude underlying malignancy after resolution of acute process. 2. small bilateral pleural effusions with adjacent atelectasis. 11-mm nodular focus at the left lung base may represent atelectasis but consider followup. 3. splenomegaly. 4. small-to-moderate ascites. 5. rounded lucency in l3 vertebral body without cortical destruction is likely hemangioma. ct abdomen & pelvis : 1. no evidence of residual colitis or other abdominal process to explain the patient's clinical symptoms. 2. 3mm lingular nodule. if the patient is low risk, no further imaging is required. if high risk such as smoking, follow up imaging in 12 months is recommended. 3. stable splenomegaly ct abdomen (): 1. no evidence of bowel perforation or abscess. 2. mild retroperitoneal edema with small amount of free fluid collecting in the pelvis. nonspecific. 3. chronic mural stratification involving areas of the small bowel is nonspecific. mild wall thickening on current exam may represent enteritis. 4. mildly distended gallbladder without evidence of inflammation. ct abdomen & pelvis (): 1. no evidence of complication of the percutaneous cholecystostomy tube which is within a decompressed gallbladder. 2. new small bilateral pleural effusions. stable, small, pericardial effusion. 3. continued retroperitoneal and mesenteric fat stranding. normal lipase makes pancreatitis unlikely but correlate with amylase levels as appropriate. 4. significantly increased abdominal and pelvic free fluid as well as generalized anasarca. chest imaging: ============== ct chest w/out contrast : 2 cm medial right upper lobe subpleural opacity could represent a consolidation from an infection, but exclusion of malignancy is necessary. several pulmonary nodules measuring up to 12 mm, some with spiculations, have characteristics concerning for metastases. the possibility of a ct guided biopsy can be discussed with the cross-sectional interventional radiologists. alternatively, a followup ct should be performed in no more than four weeks. ct torso : impression: 1. right upper lobe pneumonia, progressed from . 2. multiple pulmonary nodules as described on ct of . as stated on prior report, these can be followed up with a ct chest within four weeks or the possibility of biopsy can be considered. 3. coronary artery disease. ct chest : impression: 1. right apical consolidation and two left upper lobe nodules have not changed since the most recent scan, but right lower lobe nodules have improved. overall appearance is most consistent with an acute infectious process, either fungal (e.g. aspergillus) or bacterial in etiology. cryptogenic organizing pneumonia may also have a similar imaigng appearance. 2. coronary artery calcifications ct chest : 1. focal right upper lobe consolidation is slightly smaller in size and several pulmonary nodules have resolved, consistent with an improving infectious process. 2. new pericardial and bilateral pleural effusions of unclear etiology, as well as interval enlargement in several mediastinal lymph nodes may be related to the patient's history of malignancy or the subsequent treatment. clinical correlation is recommended. ct chest : 1. multifocal pneumonia, new from . 2. small pericardial effusion is unchanged and small bilateral pleural effusions are decreased. ct chest : 1. increasing large right pleural effusion, persistent right upper lobe consolidation. 2. enlarging and new left lower lobe nodular consolidations. no specific pathogen is suggested but a right-sided thoracentesis may be considered for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. head imaging: ============= mri head (): 1. no acute intracranial abnormality. no abnormal enhancement seen. 2. small vessel ischemic disease. mri head (): 1. small vessel white matter ischemic changes. otherwise normal study. mri neck (): 1. study somewhat degraded by motion. no evidence of abscess. ct head (): normal study. no bleed. echocardiography: ================= tte : impression: normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. mild pulmonary hypertension. tte (): normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. mild mitral regurgitation. borderline pulmonary hypertension. tte () - the atria are mildly dilated. an echodense structure is seen in the right atrium suggestive of a catheter tip. an adjacent mobile structure might represent eustachian valve but a vegetation or small thrombus cannot be excluded. bone marrow studies: ==================== tissue immunophenotyping: results: three color gating is performed (light scatter vs. cd45) to optimize blast/lymphocyte yield. abnormal lymphoid cells comprise 10% of total analyzed events. of these, b cells comprise 27% of lymphoid-gated events, are polyclonal, and do not express aberrant antigens. t cells comprise 73% of lymphoid gated events, express mature lineage antigens (cd2, cd3, cd5, cd7) and have a helper-cytotoxic ratio of 1.3. cell marker analysis demonstrates that the majority of the cells in the cd45 moderate/dim , moderate side scatter "blast" gate express immature antigens cd34, hla-dr, myeloid associated antigens cd13, cd15, cd117, cd11c, tdt (dim, subset), lymphoid associated antigens cd2 (dim, subset), cd7 (dim) lack other b and t cell associated antigens are cd10 negative, and are negative for cd14, cd41, cd56, cd64. blast cells comprise 61% of total events. interpretation: immunophenotypic findings consistent with involvement by acute myeloid leukemia. correlation with clinical findings and morphology (see s12-12756n) is recommended. bone marrow aspirate and core biopsy. diagnosis: acute myeloid leukemia. microscopic description peripheral blood smear: the smear is adequate for evaluation. red blood cells are markedly reduced in number, variably hypochromic with anisopoikilocytosis including occasional dacrocytes and elliptocytes seen. the white blood cell count appears increased and consists almost entirely of variably-sized blasts with scant light blue cytoplasm and nuclei with moderately coarse chromatin, scalloped borders and distinctive nucleoli. a minor subset of large cells with more abundant cytoplasm is present. platelet count appears decreased; large forms are seen. differential shows 4% neutrophils, 0% bands, 1% monocytes, 20% lymphocytes, 0% eosinophils, 0% basophils, 75% blasts. aspirate smear: the majority of the cellularity is comprised of blasts morphologically similar to those described in the peripheral blood. the remaining cellularity shows mild dyspoiesis in erythroid precursors along with scattered myeloid precursors. a 500 cell differential shows: 79% blasts, less than 1% promyelocytes, 4% myelocytes, 3% metamyelocytes, 2% bands/neutrophils, less than 1% plasma cells, 9% lymphocytes, 3% erythroid. clot section and biopsy slides: it consists of a 0.7 cm core biopsy of periosteum, cortical bone and trabecular marrow with a cellularity of 70-80%. most of the cellularity is comprised of immature mononuclear cells consistent with blasts, which occupying 80% of overall marrow cellularity. the blasts are moderate in size with scant amounts of amphophilic cytoplasm and oval to irregularly-shaped nuclei with vesicular chromatin and small, yet distinctive nucleoli. cytogenetics: karyotype: 47,xy,+14/46,xy interpretation: of 20 cells studied, thirteen comprised an abnormal clone with trisomy 14. this result is consistent with myeloid disease, specifically the pathologic diagnosis of aml. trisomy 14 is not associated with a particular cytogenetic prognosis. small clonal populations and small chromosome anomalies may not be detectable using the standard methods employed. bone marrow biopsy : persistent involvement with acute myeloblastic leukemia. microscopic description peripheral blood smear: the smear is adequate for evaluation. red blood cells are hypochromic and normocytic with anisopoikilocytosis including elliptocytes, rare dacrocytes and target cells. the white blood cell count appears decreased. platelet count appears decreased; large and giant forms are not seen. differential shows 6% neutrophils, 0% bands, 3% monocytes, 84% lymphocytes,0% eosinophils, 2% basophils, 5% blasts. immunophenotyping: results: three color gating is performed (light scatter vs. cd45) to optimize blast yield. cell marker analysis demonstrates that the majority of the cells isolated from this bone marrow express immature antigens cd34, hla-dr, myeloid associated antigens cd13, cd15, cd117, lymphoid associated antigens cd2 (subset) (partial dim). interpretation immunophenotypic findings consistent with involvement by persistent acute myeloid leukemia. please correlated with s12-15199n. bone marrow core biopsy: hypocellular marrow with residual blasts and scant erythropoiesis (see note) note: the marrow aspirate and core biopsy reveals residual blasts (~40-50%). within the aspirate many of the blasts show degenerative changes. in a patient with chemo-ablation, these residual blasts may indicate residual leukemic blasts, some undergoing chemotherapy induced cell death. residual hematopoiesis is scant and is mostly within erythroid cells. while highly consistent with residual / recurrent / refractory disease, the clinical course is best assessed by following peripheral blood counts and cytogenetics in conjunction with clinical correlation. the findings were discussed with dr. . and dr. . arnason. microscopic description peripheral blood smear: the smear is adequate for evaluation and shows pancytopenia. red blood cells are decreased in number, with minimal anisocytosis and mild poikilocytosis. the white blood cell count appears decreased. a limited 50 cell differential count is performed and shows predominantly lymphocytes and a few neutrophils. rare cells with blast morphology seen, but cannot be definitely categorized. platelet count appears decreased. differential (50 cells) shows 8% neutrophils, 2 % bands, 90% lymphocytes. aspirate smear: the aspirate material is sub-optimal and it lacks spicules. the m:e ratio is not assessed. erythroid precursors are rare. normal maturing myeloid precursors appear decreased to scant in number. the majority of cells in this smear are located at the edges and are abnormal blasts, some with degenerative changes. they are large cells with irregular nuclei, some of which is smudged, and some with a prominent nucleoli. granules are not readily seen. megakaryocytes are scant to absent. scattered histiocytes with intracytoplasmic cellular debris seen. a differential shows (300 cells): 46% blasts, 2% promyelocytes, 1% myelocytes, 4% metamyelocytes, 6% bands/neutrophils, 1% plasma cells, 29% lymphocytes, 11% erythroid. (many of the blasts show degenerative changes). clot section and biopsy slides: the core biopsy material is adequate for evaluation with a core biopsy approximately 1 cm in length. at least half the core biopsy is cortical bone and cartilage. the residual marrow is subcortical and has a cellularity of 20%. m:e ratio estimate is 1:1. erythroid precursors are seen scattered in small pockets within the marrow fat. myeloid precursors are seen, but without any maturation. the myeloid elements are mostly blasts, and are seen in large aggregates, some with degenerative changes. plasma cells, stromal cells and histiocytes are also seen within the interstitium. megakaryocytes are rare. special stains: iron stain reveal mostly storage iron within empty appearing spicules. sideroblasts or ringed sideroblasts are not seen. karyotype: 47,xy,+14/46,,(9)(q22)/46,xy four of 20 cells examined demonstrated the abnormal clones seen in previous analyses (, ; , ). this finding is consistent with the persistent disease. small clonal populations and small chromosome anomalies may not be detectable using the standard methods employed. bone marrow biopsy: markedly hypocellular erythroid-dominant bone marrow with left-shifted hematopoiesis and scant megakaryocytes. the findings are consistent with a chemoablated marrow. microscopic description peripheral blood smear: the smear is adequate for evaluation. red blood cells are decreased in number and normocytic with minimal anisopoikilocytosis including rare spherocytes, dacrocytes and elliptocytes. the white blood cell count appears markedly decreased and is composed exclusively of lymphocytes. platelet count appears markedly decreased. large and giant forms are not seen. differential shows 100% lymphocytes bm biopsy : markedly hypocellular erythroid dominant bone marrow with dysplastic hematopoiesis and increased blasts, see note. aspirate smear: the aspirate material shows numerous markedly hypocellular spicules consisting of stromal cells, histiocytes, and plasma cells. a limited 100 cell differential count shows: 0% blasts, 0% promyelocytes, 2% myelocytes, 2% metamyelocytes, 3% bands/neutrophils, 61% lymphocytes, 16% plasma cells, 13% erythroid precursors. myeloid precursors are decreased with abnormal nuclear lobation. blasts are present but are difficult to quantify in this hypocellular smear. megakaryocytes are not seen. clot section and biopsy slides: the biopsy material consists of core of about equal parts cortical bone and subcortical trabecular marrow space that is virtually acellular, precluding blast count by immunohistochemistry. note: the findings are consistent with a hypoplastic marrow after multiple rounds of induction chemotherapy. bm cytology karyotype: no aberrations detected; see below karyotype: 46,xy.nuc ish(ccnd1,igh@)x2 cell culture of this specimen yielded only eight metaphase cells for chromosome analysis. no aberrations were detected in study of these eight cells. interphase fish did not detect any evidence of the trisomy 14 present in prior specimens. bm biopsy diagnosis: hypocellular marrow with decreased trilineage hematopoiesis. note: no evidence of acute myelogenous leukemia is seen. microscopic description peripheral blood smear: red blood cells are normochromic with anisopoikilocytosis including macrocytes, elliptocytes and spherocytes seen. the white blood cell count appears decreased. platelet count appears significantly decreased; large forms are seen. differential shows 27% neutrophils, 6% bands, 16% monocytes, 23% lymphocytes, 0% eosinophils, 0% basophils, 3% blast, 14% atypical lymphocyte, 1% promyelocyte, 1% myelocyte and neutrophils with hypolobation and disjointed lobation are seen. aspirate smear: the aspirate material is inadequate for evaluation due to aspicular aspirate and hemodilution. erythroid precursors are not seen. rare myeloid precursors are seen. neutrophils with disjointed nuclear robes, abnormal nuclear lobation and hypogranular forms are seen. no megakaryocytes are seen. a limited cell count of 100 is performed with similar profile as the peripheral blood is seen. a 100 cell differential shows: 3% blasts, 2% promyelocytes, 3% myelocytes, 5% metamyelocytes, 35% bands/neutrophils, 0% plasma cells, 37% lymphocytes, 0% erythroid, 5% monocytes and 10% atypical lymphocytes. clot section and biopsy slides: the core biopsy material is adequate for evaluation. it consists of a 1.6 cm core of periosteum, cortical bone, trabecular marrow with a cellularity of %. rare clusters of erythropoietic colonies are seen comprising of less than 5% of the marrow. occasional myeloid precursors are seen. megakaryocytes are focally seen in loose clusters. hemosiderin-laden macrophages and pockets of scattered plasma cell and stromal cells are seen. pathology report: investigation of transfusion reaction: mr. experienced rigors, chills and hives during his prbc transfusion on . laboratory workup revealed no evidence of hemolysis, as his plasma remained yellow and clear and testing demonstrated a negative dat. the chills/rigors are consistent with an afebrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction. additionally the patient experienced an urticarial reaction likely secondary to soluble substances in the plasma of the product. these reactions are idiosyncratic in nature and the occurence of one reaction is not predictive for subsequent reactions. thus, no changes in current transfusion management are recommended at this time. bm cytogenetics (): diagnosis: hypocellular marrow with decreased trilineage hematopoiesis. note: no evidence of acute myelogenous leukemia is seen. microscopic description peripheral blood smear: the smear is for evaluation adequate for evaluation. red blood cells are

peripheral smear, found to have 96% blasts, no auer rods. heme/onc was consulted from the ed. given the degree of leukocytosis, he was started on hydroxyurea overnight. he had bone marrow done on . started on 7+3 on . given persistence of disease based on bone marrow biopsy on , he completed 5+2 regimen. repeat biopsy still showed residual biopsy. thus, he completed another round of chemotherapy (mec d1c1 ) after which repeat biopsy revealed that the bone marrow had been ablated. pt remained persistently neutropenic. the bone marrow remained acellular on repeat bmbx on with no leukemic cells. he was transplanted with double cord blood on . persistently neutropenic on filgrastim until wbc counts began to recover to > 0.1 and continued to uptrend to 2.5 by . #) colitis: iv flagyl was initiated on and ct abdomen showed colitis on . stool cdiff negative and noro negative. lower abd tender but soft and better than prior (diffuse tenderness) and improving. kub not concerning. cmv vl not detected. repeat ct on shows improvement in colitis, and stools decreased to 1 per day and no bm over the last 4 days. repeat ct scan on showed resolution of previously seen colitis. despite this improvement pt still had much difficulty taking in po's. etiology of lack of po intake is likely multifactorial. while he did complain of "occasional" abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, he also felt a lack of motivation and "decreased taste" for food. consulted psychiatry on , who recommended starting mirtazapine qhs for appetite and sleep, which was started but then discontinued on given concern for increased somnolence. tpn was discontinued on in an attempt to stimulate appetite. he was also started on a calorie count and ritalin on . ritalin increased to dosing on . pt did ~300kcal/day on calorie count and received megace for appetite stimulation. tpn was not restarted. flagyl and megace eventually discontinued, but meropenem continued in setting of persistent neutropenia. #) febrile neutropenia: patient had low grade temperature on admission, and continued to have temperatures in 99-100s. he was initially started on cefepime () for febrile neutropenia (wbc was high, but had 0% neutrophils) without improvement in his fever curve. fever cluster #1 - vancomycin was added on for continued low grade temperature. blood cultures and urine cultures were sent with no growth. cxr showed some suggestion of lll infiltrate. vancomycin was discontinued given no fevers. fever cluster #2 - vancomycin was added on and fungal coverage was broadened to ambisome on given subpleural based opacity and multiple pulmonary nodules. based on ct scan, pt underwent bronch with bal on (no growth). daptomycin converted to vancomycin for increased lung penetration. flagyl restarted on given persistent fevers. vancomycin was dc'd on as pt was persistently afebrile and acyclovir was dc'd on for the same reason. ambisome was dc'd on when repeat chest ct showed improvement of nodules. fever cluster #3 - spiked fever again on and ultimately grew vre from blood and biliary source. perc chole tube placed . essentially spiking daily fevers from . comparison of chest cts from and showed interval worsening of multifocal pneumonia and right side pleural effusion. of note, the patient's wbc count has been within normal limits from . repeat echocardiogram on showed no valvular abnormalities suggestive of endocarditis, ef >55%. repeat chest ct showed little interval change. #) acute kidney injury: baseline creatinine 1.0. #1: cr elevated to 1.9 on from baseline of 1.0. etiology was likely multifactorial including dehydration from discontinuation of tpn/poor po intake and multiple nephrotoxic medications (vancomycin, ambisome and acyclovir). vanc trough was elevated to 25.7 and therefore evening dose on was held. #2: creatinine increasing around after vre grew from blood likely sepsis related with peak at 2.0. gentamycin started for synergy which likely worsened but eventually downtrended back to baseline on ivf. #) anemia/thrombocytopenia: found to have hct of 10% on admission. thought to be due to bone marrow suppression from leukemia, as patient did not have elevated bilirubin or other laboratory findings to suggest hemolysis. s/p _______ units of blood and ________ units of platelets. has refractory thrombocytopenia likely splenomegaly and alloimunization. there was concern for autoantibodies to platelets but pra testing was negative. #) acute cholecystitis: diagnosed with acute cholecystits on hida after gallbladder u/s read as intermediate. no obstructing stone was found. as pt improved clinically with minimal ruq and able to tolerate po intake, decision made to forego surgical interventio in setting of pancytopenia. lft's and clinical status monitored daily. patient received biliary drain placement on as non-operative intervention for cholecystitis. general surgery saw patient, felt patient needed cholecystectomy but not a good surgical candidate. general surgery reevaluated the patient on and commented that the perc chole is draining well; cholecystectomy not indicated at this time due to poor health status and other foci of infection. #) altered mental status: patient transferred to micu on due to altered mental status in setting of initiating granulocyte infusion, supratherapeutic tacrolimus level to 12, and difficulty caring for patient on the floor. patient not following commands and alert and oriented only to self. mental status was thought to be secondary to toxic / metabolic in setting of previously untreated vre sepsis as well as contributing hepatic encelopathy shock liver, potential obstruction. lactulose was started. neurology was consulted because of dysarthria and weakness on exam. eeg was performed, which was not consistent with seizures. weakness was thought to be proximal, likely due to myopathy. consideration was also paid to potential role of tacrolimus, levels of which were significantly elevated during . tacro was held. patient's mental status improved over course of micu stay, with patient being oriented to person, place, time and transferred back to bmt floor. while on the bmt floor the patient's mental status waxed and waned. a repeat mri head was done on which showed small vessel disease, but no acute process. an incidental finding of asymmetric mastoid air cell enhancement raised the question of supperative mastoiditis. ent was consulted and thin cut ct of the sinuses was performed. no bony erosion was evident and therefore no ent intervention needed. improvement in mental status was noted with the the onset of less frequent fevers and decreased morphine basal dose on pca. repeat eeg was performed on . icu issues: ================ 62yo m with refractory aml admitted on and now s/p double cord sct on . hospital course complicated by biliary sepsis, respiratory failure, and encephalopathy. in , had severe biliary sepsis (not choly candidate, so perc tube placed). since , had course c/b fungal pna, cmv viremia, mental status changes (thought to be due to pres cyclosporine). admitted to ( - ) for respiratory failure and hypotension. readmitted to on - for biliary sepsis/peritonitis and hypoxic respiratory distress post ercp stent placement procedure on . # course prior to patient's death: mr. during morning of . interdisciplinary meeting held with bmt, icu, id, ercp, ir, surgery, and sw on to discuss management of biliary sepsis as patient was deteriorating. his mental status was worsening, tbilis trending up, increasing abdominal pain and distention, worsening sepsis despite broad coverage antibiotics and antifungals. decision was made to intubate the patient and go for a ct guided paracentesis and perc chole drain interrogation study with ir. paracentesis showed that fluid in the abdomen was bile and the tube interrogation demonstrated that bile was leaking into the peritoneum and that the perc tube was displaced and terminating anterior to the liver. on 0000, patient had fever and became hypotensive in the 77-80s requiring three different pressors (vasopressin, phenylephrine, and ne) at maxed doses. labs showed increasing lactic acid with severe metabolic acidosis. he was given 150 of bicarb in hopes that pressors effectiveness would improve. his vent settings was changed to pressure support to allow him to increase his respirations and help decrease his acidosis. continued to be hypotensive in the 80s and given 2l lr boluses. (girlfriend and hcp) updated and she arrived with her sister to the patient's bedside at 0245. patient's pressures held in the 70s-80s (map ~50), but he was unresponsive. code status was discussed with and she decided to not resuscitate. patient at approximately 0830. # hypotension/sepsis: initially transferred to icu for likely septic shock. lactate was low at 0.3 and continues to be low at 0.7. pt spiked a fever to 102f on and no fevers since. source appears to be biliary vse. pt had suspicion of multifocal pneumonia with unclear pathogen but pt has been on broad abx coverage. pt previously had acute cholecystitis with vse and also vre bacteremia of unclear source in early . he had a percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placed. his blood cultures have been negative since then but a repeat bile culture from again grew vanc sensitive enterococcus. and bile cultures from is growing rare enterococcus in aerobic vile. echo did not show evidence of endocarditis on . his urine cultures have remained negative. he had an mri brain on that did not show any evidence of acute infection. he has not had an lp due to severe thrombocytopenia. culture of picc tip removed on yielded no growth. he does not have any diarrhea or leukocytosis, and his c diff stool pcr was negative on , but he seems to have significant abdominal pain. ct showed no intrabdominal abscess but mild edema of the colon c/w volume overload vs colitis/typhilitis and stable bilateral pleural effusions. despite his large pleural effusions, thrombocytopenia has made prior teams hesitant to pursue thoracentesis. radiology also feels these are not empyemas. pe remains a possibility but lenis negative. currently off of pressors. another explanation for his hypotension may be adrenal insufficiency given random cortisol of 8.6 which is inappropriately low given current severe illness. vse grown in bile cx found to be sensitive to daptomycin. his mental status improved with continued treatment and given his prior ruq pain, suspect biliary souce w/ possible biliary sepsis. no organisms grew probably because he was on very broad antibiotic coverage. pt tranferred back to the floor but returned to the icu on for biliary sepsis post ercp procedure where stent was placed to redirect bile from gallbladder to the bowel. he was continued on zosyn, dapto, micafungin, and bactrim ppx per id recommendations. vanco was also added the following day. zosyn was switched to for broader coverage. his bilirubin and alk phos continued to trend up despite the stent placement. tbilis from 4 to 12.2 and alk phos from 200s to 790s. lipase was elevated in the 300s. patient also had worsening abdominal pain and distention. # acute respiratory failure: pt extubated successfully on . pt suffered acute respiratory distress. pt's abg showed co2 retention and hypoxia. unclear etiology, but likely due to sepsis and was very broadly covered with abx as above. bronchoscopy did not show obvious pathology and bal cultures are pending. ct scan shows stable to slightly increased bilateral pleural effusions and interval increase of parenchymal atelectasis vs consolidation at bases, no evidence of empyema. thoracentesis contraindicated given bleeding risk with thrombocytopenia. rsbi 27, satting well on peep 5, ras -1. when patient returned to the icu on post ercp, he was kept intubated due to tachypnea and tachycardic pre-procedure. he was able to be succesfully extubated in a few hours and kept on facemask. hypoxic respiratory distress was thought to be secondary to sepsis. he was continued to be broadly covered for possible pneumonia with micafungin, bactrim ppx, dapto, and . cxr did not show any signs of consolidation. there is also contribution from pain and distended abdomen pressing on lungs and causing respiratory distress. his pain was treated with dilaudid. # : on , his creatinine noted to rise up to 3.4. thought to be multifactorial including atn/prerenal secondary to sepsis and ain secondary to cmv and/or meds (foscarnet). cpk was checked and was 14. renal was consulted and thought it was likely due to ischemic renal insult without frank atn. continued to fluid resuscitate as needed. all medications were also renally dosed. # cholecystitis/biliary leakage/biliary peritonitis: percutaneous tube placed on given that patient was not candidate for cholecystectomy. drain put out about >1l per day and there was concern for nutritional and medication losses in bile. initially, patient had intermittent ruq pain but ct abd/pelvis and ruq u/s showed no biliary dilation or other acute intraabdominal pathology likely responsible for pain. a hida scan on showed cbd obstruction and patient sent for ercp and placement of stent. he was continued on ursodiol. #aml: pt is s/p double cord allo transplant with evidence of engraftment. pt previously unable to tolerate po meds and was transitioned from tacto to cyclosporine iv. cyclosporine has been adjusted multiple times for elevated levels (goal 200). fish xy test was sent to test if blood cells were from engrafted xx cord transplant. result showed that patient had 70% xx and 30% xy suggestive of possible recurrence of aml. he continued immunosupression with mychophenolate and cyclosporine. cyclosporine levels were checked daily. bmt team was following throughout stay at . # thrombocytopenia: ranging from 11-20s. ptt, pt, fibrinogen 377, ldh 274 not suggestive of dic. likely multifactorial including zosyn, possibly developing antibodies against platelets, bone marrow suppression from infection, and aml. patient with no signs of bleeding. # cmv viremia: cmv viral load 31,000 <-- 11,500 () <-- 10,900 () <-- 8,100 () <-- 2,640 (). cmv igg positive. initially on gancyclovir but viral load continued to rise and was switched to foscarnet, which was renally dosed. # pres: diagnosed on mri head on and emperically treated for hsv encephalitis. eeg on with no seizure activity. per bmt team, thought secondary to tacrolimus and switched to cyclosporine. bmt team also states that patient's mental status has significantly improved and is now alert and oriented x3, able to carry conversation. cyclosporine was titrated to goal of 200. his fluid status was optimized. patient appeared to have good mental status (a&ox3 and able to carry conversations) from , then deteriorated secondary to sepsis. # hypernatremia: be related to free water losses in setting of sepsis. repleted water deficit slowly and sodium corrected. # metabolic acidosis: initially he had a non-anion gap acidosis with hyperchloremia, likely due to free water depletion and concomitant hypovolemia. # anemia: in the low 20s but appears to be chronic. indirect bili 0.9 and haptoglobin 212, thus unlikely to be hemolysis. most likely multifactorial including acd, immunosuppresants, and bone marrow suppression. hct was monitored daily with a transfusion goal of hct<21 #hypogammaglobulinemia: the pt's igg level from was low in the 500 range. the patient received a one time dose of ivig on 500mg/kg iv (sucrose-free ivig) x 1 dose #adrenal insufficiency: diagnosis based on hypotension and random cortisol level of 8.6. steroids have been tapered. rechecked cortisol was 12.5 issues only pertaining to - admission #skin ulceration: pt noted to have ulceration on l forearm with surrounding erythema. no bleeding or exudate. unclear etiology, unchanged #

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: penicillins attending: chief complaint: respiratory distress major surgical or invasive procedure: central line placement (right ij) history of present illness: 72 year-old female with past medical hx of lung ca s/p lobectomy, chf, presented from osh w/resp distress. she was found at home in the morning of admission sitting on the couch, short of breath, right-sided "slouching", hypertensive to 225/110, tachycardic to 110-120s, unresponsive, incontinent of urine/stool. at osh was saturating 70% on 12l nc and so was intubated. head ct was negative at osh. she receiving rocephin, lasix, bumex, lactulose, neomycin. also received succinylcholine, fentanyl, and versed peri-intubation. * in our ed, she received lasix 60 iv x1 with minimal response, placed on propofol, and had a ct of her abdomen due to a distended abdomen. on ros, family noted pnd, chart noted pt w/hx uri, recent steroids use. pt's family reports increased cough, uri symptoms, dizziness, increased sputum. has multiple uris, allergies, recent azithro < 2 weeks ago, prednisone < 1 month ago. past medical history: 1. lung ca s/p lobectomy 2. chf 3. asthma 4. cri 5. liver hemangioma 6. anemia 7. copd 8. hyperlipidemia 9. hypothyroidism 10. gastritis 11. depression 12. htn social history: married, lives with husband/son, 35 pack yrs, no etoh pertinent results: ct abdomen: large mass replacing most of the right lobe of the liver and a second smaller hypodense lesion in the left lobe of the liver that are incompletely characterized on this noncontrast study. fat-containing right-sided abdominal wall hernia. bilateral pleural effusions with bibasilar lung opacities with possible interlobular septal thickening consistent with chf/fluid overload. air bronchograms present in the right basilar opacity raise the possibility of a superimposed infectious process. mri abdomen: 1) giant cavernous hemangioma of the right lobe of the liver measuring 27.2 x 21.3 x 21.1 cm. a second smaller hemangioma is seen within the medial segment of the left lobe, measuring 2.3 x 2.5 x 3.1 cm. the hepatic venous and portal venous vasculature is patent. 2) bilateral pleural effusions. 3) lower anterior abdominal wall fat-containing hernia. brief hospital course: icu course: active problems on admssion included 1)hypercarbic respiratory failure, 2)oliguric acute renal failure, 3)large liver mass seen on the abdominal ct, 4)intermittent supraventricular tachycardia, 5)hypotension. in terms of respiratory failure, pt was intubated and was treated for pneumonia, copd exacerbation, and +/-chf. cxr on admission showed bilateral retrocardiac opacity and later showed rul opacity. sputum culture from grew mrsa. she was started on vanc/levo/flagyl for empiric coverage. she was initially given lasix 100 mg iv for a concern for chf from pulmonary edema seen on cxr but was later thought unlikely since her cvp was only 10. she was also started on steroids for copd exacerbation. in the icu, there was difficulty extubating secondary to her agitated ms, but was successfully extubated on . she was able to maintain mid-90's on room air. in terms of arf, she presented with cr of 2.3-2.8 and became oliguric and peaked at 3.5. renal was consulted whose impression was oligurid renal failure->atn from hypoperfusion +. her urine output picked up and now making adequate urine. her creatinine normalized to 2.8. in terms of 22 cm liver mass seen on the abdominal ct, liver team was consulted. she has a hx of liver hemangioma and this is likely the expansion of the hemangioma. the family and the team decided to not pursue with any surgical procedure. she had episodes of svt to 140's with hypotension to sbp 80's on of what appears as avnrt. she was started on diltiazem and has been adequately rate controlled. in terms of hypotension, she had intermittent episodes of hypotension which appears to be positional, likely from the liver compressing on ivc?. this in addition to the systemic illness may have worsened her renal failure on admission. or she may have had episodes of avnrt with hypotension prior to admission to have caused the renal insult. floor course by problems: . 1)respiratory failure: patient likely had mrsa pna +/- copd exacerbation. she completed a 14 day course of vanc which was dosed by level as she was in oliguric renal failure/atn. pt got albuterol/fluticasone and a very short course of steroid taper for the possible copd exacerbation. she was stable on room air from pulmonary stand point prior to discharge. . 2)renal failure: pt had ischemic atn in the icu from presumed hypoperfusion episode. she was followed by renal. later, she started to make adequate urine, and her creatinine eventually came down to 2.7 which is where it stabilized. per her pcp, baseline pcp 2.0 in . cr 2.7 is likely her new baseline per renal. she also developed hypernatremia which was corrected with iv d5w to correct the free water deficit. she also develop metabolic acidosis and was supplemented by sodium bicarb. she was continued on calcitriol and sevelamer. her epogen dose was increased to 5000 unit qmwf from 3000 unit. . 3)altered ms: pt was very agitated, confused, and at times disruptive pulling out her lines. her mental status waxed and wane. her delirium was thought likely from toxic metabolic etiology secondary to combination of hypothyroid, icu delirium, steroid use, hypernatremia, and acute infection. she was initially kept npo due to aspiration risk from mental status change. she got tubefeed in the icu and ppn on the floor. she initially required frequent prn haldol and zydis for agitation. however, on her ms returned to baseline. she passed swallow evaluation and was able to tolerate po diet with normal consistency and thin liquids. . 4)hypertension: she was continued on po metorprol and hydralazine for bp control. when she was npo, she got the iv version. . 5)tacchycardia: pt had episodes of supraventricular tachycardia, likely avnrt, in the icu which was controlled with diltiazem then was switched to metoprolol. on the floor, she again had an episode of svt for 1 hr which was finally broke with iv diltiazem. her ekg and rhythm strips were reviewed by the ep team who recommended medical management at this time with a beta-blocker. she will follow up with her pcp/cardiologist dr. regarding this. if she continues to have avnrt despite maximal medical treatment, elective ablation should be considered. . 6)anemia: pt has anemia of what appears as chronic illness/renal disease. she was intitially on epogen 3000 unit qmwf, but was later switched to 4000 unit and then to 5000 unit qmwf by renal. she had a very slow decline in hct and got a total of 4 units of prbc during the hospitalization (2 units in the icu, 2 units on the floor). hct prior to discharge after the transfusion was stable at 28-29. she needs to have her hct checked frequently. if she continues to have a decline in hct despite increased epogen dose, she would need an outpatient egd + colonoscopy to rule out gi bleed. . 7)liver mass: pt with known history of giant liver hemangioma that was has followed as outpatient. the ct and mri of abdomen again demonstrated giant mass that appears as hemangioma. afp value was normal. spoke with her pcp . and plan is to follow closely as outpatient. . 8)hypothyroid: her tsh was elevated, and her free t4 was low as well. her synthroid dose was increased to 50 mcg qd. medications on admission: norvasc 5, serevent, flovent, synthroid 0.88, meclizine,

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 well known to the hepatobiliary surgery service of dr. . he recently underwent a roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy for mirizzi syndrome and bile duct stricture. he subsequently was discharged to home. at home prior to this admission, he had passed some tarry stool, had some bloody vomitus and syncope. this developed into a very severe upper gi bleed, requiring admission with aggressive volume resuscitation, aggressive administration of blood products, including more than 40 u of packed red blood cells, along with multiple units of fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and platelets. he was scoped by the gastroenterologist on for the first time during this hospitalization in which they noted an ulcer on the gastric side of the ge junction with some bleeding but was minimal. on the following day as he was watched in the intensive care unit, this blossomed to ongoing hemorrhage, and on , they noted possibly some esophageal varices; however, with such a significant amount of blood, they could not really make a very good study out of it, and they placed tube for all of the active bleeding. three days later, he had another endoscopy which did not show any active bleeding but showed blood in the fundus. at the same time, as the ongoing volume resuscitation and blood product resuscitation continued, he was noted to have a significant amount of portal hypertension and tips on . in addition on the same day, an interventional radiology angiogram was performed, and coiling of a right hepatic artery, posterior branch, pseudoaneurysm, as well as coiling of the left gastric artery, which was done on . the patient had very complicated intensive care unit and hospital stay. neurologic: the patient was intubated, and upon being awakened from the vent after a significant amount of time, he was noted to be not following commands had a change in mental status. as a neurology consult was obtained, ct of his head was obtained, and there was no organic intracranial reason to have these symptoms which were attributed just to the trauma and insult that he had been through, as well as the hepatic encephalopathy. he was treated with lactulose through an ng tube in an effort to clear off the encephalopathy which was successful, and he was gradually weaned off. pulmonary: the patient had a required ventilatory dependence; however, he was successfully weaned and extubated from the ventilator. he has no sequelae from this long-term ventilation. cardiovascular: the patient was in hemodynamic hemorrhagic shock with significant blood loss anemia. once resuscitation was completed, he was resumed on beta-blockers. on , the patient had a cardiac echocardiogram which had an ejection fraction estimated at 40-45%, moderate dilation of the left atrium, with trivial mitral regurgitation. the left ventricular cavity was also mildly dilated and somewhat depressed in its systolic function, and they noted posterior and akinesis and distal septal hypokinesis. gastrointestinal: in addition to the already discussed above facts regarding his history of roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy and various interventional radiology procedures, after the coilings of the right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm and the left gastri artery, there was no further note of new onset gi bleeding. his hematocrit stabilized, and gradually the patient was started on tube feedings, and he was continued on tpn. the tube feedings were done via a nasojejunal tube which was placed at endoscopy on . this was the only way he could maintain his calories, given his changes in mental status around this event and obviously the prolonged resuscitation and ventilation in the intensive care unit. the patient had percutaneous transhepatic cholangial tubes, both in the left and right sides. these were eventually capped. he had hyperbilirubinemia, which did eventually trend downward. he had hypoalbuminemia which continues, and at the very least is trending in the proper direction. on , the patient had an ultrasound which showed patency of the tips and no further hematemesis. he did have some guaiac positive stools but gradually developed guaiac negative stools. at one point, his nasoduodenal tube was pulled out, and he was able to achieve his goal calories and protein with a lot of encouragement and education, and currently is being sustained solely on his own p.o. intake. gu: during the process of the hypovolemic shock, the patient went into acute renal failure. this gradually returned to baseline function with an excellent urine output on his own. in trying to get all of the volume off him, he was being diuresed with lasix and spironolactone; however, after he was returning very close to his normal baseline body weight, these were discontinued. in the process of numerous volume shifts that the patient experienced, he experienced some hyponatremia, and this improved with minimizing the amount of free-water ingested, educating him, as well as adjusting tpn when he was being given tpn. infectious disease: the patient had multiple intravenous lines which carried him through the resuscitation in the intensive care unit. his positive cultures were that of mrsa in sputum, and he was diagnosed with a mrsa pneumonia and had an adequate treatment with vancomycin. he also had cultures from bile, some of which grew out bacteria, including mrsa, vre, vse, those last two being vancomycin resistant enterococcus and vancomycin sensitive enterococcus. after the patient was finished with antibiotics and was transferred to the floor finally, he was doing well and then developed high fever, and of his lines were removed at that time, and he was started on vancomycin. however, given that he had previous problems with vancomycin resistant enterococcus, he was started on intravenous linezolid and transitioned to p.o. linezolid. he has currently been afebrile for quite some time. hematologic: he remains anemia but without a lot of changes in his hematocrit. he is being treated with folate and a healthy diet to try to improve his bone marrow stores of vitamins and favor hematopoiesis. he has accumulated or formulated a significant amount of antibodies from the multiple blood transfusions, and our pathology and blood bank has made it quite clear that he is very difficult to cross-match for blood transfusions. endocrine: he has had some insulin requirements during the hospitalization. he is not on his oral hypoglycemics. he has been having his blood sugars checked regularly. at this point, he will go home and need to contact his primary care physician to decide on his outpatient regimen. he is not requiring insulin regularly on the regular diet. he had been requiring insulin when he was on tpn, but since then, this is just an intermittent blood sugar requirement, in association with frequent blood sugar checks. he knows, as on his discharge summary, to document three times a day his fingersticks and to give them to his primary care physician upon their visit. he is not going home on insulin, and he is not going home on oral agents. musculoskeletal: he has suffered a severe amount of diffuse atrophy of his muscles and has required aggressive physical therapy and assistance with adls, with which he is gradually improving on and doing significantly better; however, he will require physical therapy as an outpatient. disposition: home with vna services for tube checks, cardiopulmonary checks and wound checks. home physical therapy. past medical history: coronary artery disease status post coronary artery stents. diabetes mellitus type ii. hypertension. common bile duct strictures. chronic renal failure. roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy as explained above. t12 compression fracture. ascites. discharge medications: linezolid 600 mg p.o. b.i.d. x 2 weeks, protonix 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., lopressor 25 mg p.o. b.i.d., folate 3 mg p.o. q.d., silver sulfadiazine 1% creme to be applied to his ears for the pressure ulcerations twice a day discharge instructions: call or return for problems with nausea, vomiting, high fevers, any signs of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, any type of syncope. check fingersticks regularly and record them. see his primary care physician. dr. in follow-up. call with problems with oral intake, weight loss. the patient should be seen within one week or within ten days of discharge. he is aware that he needs to call to schedule an appointment. discharge diagnosis: 1. long complicated intensive care unit stay. 2. methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia. 3. enterococcus and methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus in bile, including both vancomycin resistant enterococcus and vse strains. 4. long-term antibiotic treatment. 5. total parenteral nutrition and tube feeds for nutrition, eventually discontinued. 6. prolonged ventilatory dependence. 7. hemodynamic instability. 8. hypovolemic shock secondary to ongoing severe upper gastrointestinal bleed. 9. status post right hepatic posterior branch pseudoaneurysm coiling. 10. coiling of the left gastric artery. 11. encephalopathy, now resolved. 12. tube placement for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. 13. multiple cholangiograms. 14. gastric ulcer, question of mild esophageal varices. 15. ptc tube times two. 16. tipf. 17. t12 compression fracture. 18. ascites. 19. chronic renal failure. 20. hypertension. 21. hypoalbuminemia. 22. hyperbilirubinemia. 23. status post liver biopsies. 24. type 2 diabetes. 25. bile duct strictures status post surgical repair. 26. blood loss anemia necessitating aggressive transfusions. 27. echocardiogram showing ejection fraction of 40-45% with some wall motion abnormalities. 28. coronary artery disease status post coronary stents. 29. history of 15 pack-year smoking, quitting several years ago. 30. severe deconditioning requiring aggressive physical therapy and rehabilitation. 31. ....................orthopedically for his t12 compression fracture for at least six weeks, which will need to be evaluated at some point in the future, and he can arrange to be seen as an outpatient. 32. history of portal hypertension. 33. history of multiple endoscopies, cholangiograms, including requirement of tube for severe hemorrhage. 34. blood requirements for greater than 49 u of packed cells, 33 u ffp, 23 platelets, 5 cryoprecipitate, now with multiple antibodies to blood products. 34. status post multiple piccs and central lines, all of which are removed. 35. baseline creatinine between 1.6-2.0;

found to be hypoxic with one episode of coffee ground emesis. . # hypoxia ?????? ddx included infectious, embolic, pulmonary, and cardiac etiologies. a ct-a was performed which was negative for pe. given lack of leukocytosis, productive cough, or evidence of infiltrate on cxr, a bacerial pna was unlikely. no further antibiotics were given, although pt did receive 1 dose of levaquin, cefepime, and flagyl in the ed. a urine legionella antigen was negative. we ruled out influenza while maintaining droplet precautions. there was no picture of pulmonary edema on cxr or any type of heart failure on clinical exam, so cardiac etiology was unlikely. we checked an echocardiogram and probnp to further evaluate. probnp was unimpressive at 500, and her echo showed preserved systolic function with no clinically significant failure or valvular disease. we continued supplemental oxygen weaned down to 2l nc by discharge. prn nebs were given for comfort. the most likely cause for her presentation was a viral syndrom nos, with the febrile syndrome perhaps causing transient lv dysfucntion with resultant transient pulmonary edema and hypoxia with resultant hypertension. . # htn ?????? pt??????s sbp

hospital course: on he underwent segment iii mass resection and intraoperative ultrasound for hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis c virus infection and cirrhosis. surgeon was dr. . a macronodular cirrhotic liver was noted. there was a 2.8 cm lesionalong the edge of the left lateral segment in segment iii as seen on the preoperative ct scan. intraoperative ultrasound demonstrated no other lesions in the liver. he had mild portal hypertension.the mass was removed with a margin of .9 cm in all directions. ebl was 1500ml. he received 5 liters of crystalloid. please refer to operative note for further details. in pacu, he was hypoensive and required re-intubation for hypercarbia. postop, he was transferred to the sicu for hypotension and oliguria management. wbc was elevated at 22.7 and respiratory distress. iv lasix drip was used for overload and dobutapmine was given for hypotension. he improved and sedation was weaned allowing for bipap for increasing o2 needs. cxr showed increased pulmonary edema. lasix was continued with improvement. o2 was changed to nasal cannula. respiratory status continued to improve with intermittent iv lasix. on , a tee was done noting the following: the left ventricular cavity size is normal. left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (ef>75%). the estimated cardiac index is high (>4.0l/min/m2). 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 regurgitation. there is a small pericardial effusion. on , he was transferred out of the sicu. lasix was stopped as urine output dropped. he appeared too dried out and iv fluid was given with improved urine output. nephrology was consulted for elevated creartinine (up to 1.7 from baseline 0.7). creatinine slowly trended back down to baseline. repeat cxrs demonstrated improved effusions and elevated right hemidiaphragm. low dose lasix was resumed for noted edema and bibasilar crackles. spironolactone was added. o2 was removed with room air sats of 96%. on he was noted to have low grade temperature of 100.6. wbc was 7.6. this increased to 17.1 on . urine culture was negative. the central line was removed with the tip cultured. this was negative. the incision was cultured growing staph coag +/ corynebacterium species (diphtheroids). moderate growth. an abdominal ct scan was performed on noting small-to-moderate ascites with no evidence for loculated intra-abdominal fluid collection to suggest abscess formation. evaluation is limited by lack of intravenous contrast. two nonobstructing stones in the lower pole of the left kidney. diffuse superficial soft tissue stranding without evidence for drainable fluid collection and degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine as described above. he experienced multiple bms after the scan. wbc increased to 20.2 on , but decreased to 14 on . he remained afebrile. the abdomenal incision was noted to have drainage mid incision requiring dry gauze dressings. this drainage was felt to represent fat necrosis. lfts increased intially, but slowly trended down.diet was advanced and tolerated. incision

pain: the patient was admitted for evaluation of right hip pain where it was felt that it would be necessary to open the joint and inspect for signs of infection. pre-op evalation in this intermediate risk patient for an intermediate risk procedure included a pharmacologic stress test insofar as the patient was unable to comply with a physical stress given limited hip mobility. there was particular concern given history of a depressed ef in the setting of acute illness. cardiac echo revealed an ef of 45%. the left ventricular cavity size was normal. there was mild global left ventricular hypokinesis. overall left ventricular systolic function was mildly depressed. following dobutamine administration, there was no evidence of inducible ischemia to pharmacologic stress. pre-op evaluation also involved obtainining blood cultures. blood cultures on admission were positive for coagulase negative staph which was oxicillin resistent ( sample). the patient was nonetheless sent to the or where right hip girdlestone was performed and the joint was found to be frankly septic and wound culture from this site also revealed the same organism. the patient received 1 gm of vancomycin and 80 mg of gentamicin in the or. afterwards, the patient was briefly admitted to the intensive care unit after her operation for post-op monitoring. she emerged without complication to the floor within 24 hours. in the unit, the patient received one dose (1 gram iv on at 18:12) of vancomycin dosed by level <15 with a treatment plan of 6 weeks duration. the id service was consulted and it was felt that the patient should have a minimum 6 week course of vancomycin treatment. the pharmacy was contact at well and it was felt that daily vancomycin levels should be taken in order to titrate for a level greater than 15. if below 15, 1 gm of vancomycin should be given at a time. when the patient was stabilized on the floor, the ortho service continued to follow the patient and recommended coumadin for dvt prophylaxis given lovenox would not be indicated in a patient with renal failure. nonweight bearing to the right hip was prescribed. physical therapy and occupational therapy evaluated the patient, the latter of which did not believe there were any acute issues. physical therapy recommended frequent appointments after discharge for reconditioning but deemed the patient safe to return home. at discharge, a picc line was placed for outpatient antibiotic delivery. the patient remained afebrile on the floor and did not develop septic complications. 2) renal: the patient is on chronic peritoneal dialysis and the patient was followed by the renal service for treatment. the patient was found to be anemic with a hct of around 25 and epogen was given at a dose of 8000 units per week given this anemia (the patient's outpatient regimen is 6000 units per week). the patient was not given blood in light of possible future renal transplant. immunosuppression was continued because of the patient's residual kidney function. to cover for opportunistic fungal infections, however, the patient was given fluconazole daily. peritoneal fluid was preserved by the renal service and evaluated for electrolyte imbalances. at the time of this discharge summary, those results are still pending. 3) hypertension: the patient has a history of hypertension but was not hypertensive on this admission. there were no episodes of hypertensive emergency despite holding her home dose of beta blocker. 4) pain control: pain was controlled with a dilaudid pca with good effect. at discharge, the patient was given an equivalent po regimen. 5) prophylaxis: coumadin was started on the patient for a goal inr of 2.5. she was instructed to follow up at clinic to have her inr checked regularly. the following is a listing of information which may be pertinent to the patient's long term follow up: * antibiotic name: vancomycin dosed to level <15 * pcp = * renal team:

there is mild vascular congestion. there is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. atelectasis in the right upper lobe and left lower lobe has resolved. brief hospital course: mr. was a 63 year-old man with multiple medical problems including obesity, diastolic congestive heart failure, cri, vwd ( disease) who presented after a week of increased fatigue and shrotness of breath. . # dyspnea: mr. was admitted to the cardiology service for presumed decompensated congestive heart failure. soon after admission, he became obtunded and was found to be in hypercarbic respiratory failure with a pco2 of 111. he was intubated and transfered to the ccu. there, he was diuresed with minimal improvement in his symptoms. a chest x-ray obtained post intubation was concerning for pneumonia and he was started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin on hospital day 2 (.) attempts to wean him from the ventilator initially failed secondary to hypoventilation. he was transfered to the micu where he recovered well and was successfully extubated. he was subsequently transfered to the general medicine floor where he did well though he continued to have desaturations. on the 5th hospital day, his antibiotic regimen was expanded to include vancomycin for the treatment of vap and levofloxacin, which replaced ceftiaxone and azithromycin. he was also provided a trial of cpap overnight to treat his suspected obstructive sleep apnea. he reported that he tolerated the cpap well and felt that he experienced longer sleep intervals. in review of his medical record on the 6th hospital day, it was determined that mr. had evidence of pneumonia prior to intubation and therefore did not need continued treatment with vancomycin and it was discontinued. in addition, the sputum culture obtained by endotracheal sampling in the icu revealed polymicrobial gram stain but only rare gram negative rod growth. he remained afebrile on the medicine floor and was evaluated by the physical therapy service. he was observed to desaturate to 85% on ambulation, and it was determined that he would benefit from home oxygen therapy. he was discharged with oxygen therapy for home and a prescription of levofloxacin to complete a 7 day course of therapy. # acute on chronic renal failure: mr. had a baseline creatinine of 1.6. after diuresis his creatinine rose to 3.0 and gradually returned to baseline. upon discharge his creatinine was 1.5. # obesity hypoventilation: mr. was morbidly obese with chest wall compliance limited secondary to body habitus. # chronic diastolic heart failure: his right sided heart failure likely contributes to his respiratory dysfunction. he has mild pulmonary hypertension on echocardiogram from 3/. # htn: he was continued on carvedilolol throughout his admission. lasix and lisinopril were held while his creatinine was elevated. # vwd: continued on home dose of aminocaproic acid medications on admission: aminocaproic acid as needed for uncontrolled bleeding carvedilol 25 mg tablet

time of exploration she had extensive dense adhesions in the right upper quadrant. the right colon including the cecum and the duodenum were densely adherent to the inferior surface of the right lobe of the liver and the site of the prior segment 5, segment 6 resection. there was a small purulent fluid collection in the subcutaneous space laterally. there was also undrained fluid around the drain and the resection site. intraoperative ultrasound demonstrated multifocal disease in the right lobe and medial segment but no evidence of any disease in the left lateral segment. we could not palpate, visualize, or see by ultrasound any lesions in the left lateral segment". she received 8 liters of crystalloid, 500 cc of albumin, 3 units of packed cells and made 1300 cc of urine. the estimated blood loss was 1200 cc. she remained intubated and was transferred to the sicu. extubated the next day she was stable for transfer to surgical floor on pod2 jp bulb drainage was noted to remain bilious in appearance. hida scan performed on showed there was good drainage through the catheter into the bag. there is no excretion into the bowel. findings compatible with a small biliary leak. ercp with stent placement was performed on . this showed free extravasation of contrast at the common hepatic duct and left intrahepatic duct juncture, which extends laterally along the liver edge. subsequent images demonstrate introduction of a stent extending partially into the left intrahepatic system. the stent crosses an area of focal narrowing in the proximal portion of the left intrahepatic duct. following the ercp the drains were noted to be very bloody in appearance. hct dropped only slightly, but the decision was made to transfuse 2 units of rbc's. the hct increased appropriately but remained around 28% and then with a slight downward trend for the rest of the hospitalization. the lateral drain appeared more bloody with dark drainage, whereas the medial drain again became serosanguinous. patient received lasix while hospitalized for probable volume overload post surgery, but will not d/c home with this. liver function tests normalized with all but alt

retroperitoneal hematoma, r hemothorax, hemoperitoneum, and multiple fractures (bilateral acetabular fracture with right hip subluxation pelvic, rib, and multiple fractures involving lateral wall of the right maxilla and the right orbital floor with herniation of the orbital fat into the right maxillary sinus). pt has undergone exploratory laparotomy and right tube thoracostomy , closed reduction of right acetabular fracture , orif of right both column acetabular fracture , and trach/peg on with replacement of trach on same day due to displacement. his course has been complicated by cardiac tamponade s/p pericardiocentesis, sepsis, respiratory failure, pre-renal non-oliguric arf, atrial flutter, and hyponatremia. neurology consult on also indicates pt presented with critical illness myopathy. a pig tail catheter was placed on for large pleural effusions in pt's l chest which was subsequently removed prior to discharge. swallow assessment showed the pt had intermittent signs of aspiration at the bedside with thin liquids and nectar thick liquids, but no return was seen with tracheal suctioning and the pt does have a baseline cough. he would be able to follow compensatory strategies, and am therefore recommending he be seen for a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (fees) at the bedside tomorrow for further evaluation. at discharge pt. recommended for pureed

most likely is in the superior or mid svc. the cardiomegaly is moderate , stable. the replaced valve is in unchanged position. the post-cabg sternotomy wires and sutures are unremarkable. the ng tube has been removed in the meantime. the bilateral basal atelectasis is grossly unchanged with small left more than right amount of pleural fluid. the patient continues to be in mild failure, although there is no frank pulmonary edema. no substantial pneumothorax is demonstrated. picc line placement indication: 67-year-old woman with cabg and mitral valve repair. please insert a picc line for tpn. the procedure was explained to the patient. a timeout was performed. radiologist: drs. and performed the procedure. dr. , the attending radiologist, was present and supervised the entire procedure. technique: using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the left basilic vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. hard copies of ultrasound images were obtained before and immediately after establishing intravenous access. a peel-away sheath was then placed over a guidewire and a double-lumen picc line measuring 42 cm in length was then placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the svc under fluoroscopic guidance. position of the catheter was confirmed by a fluoroscopic spot film of the chest. the peel-away sheath and guidewire were then removed. the catheter was secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied. the patient tolerated the procedure well. there were no immediate complications. impression: uncomplicated ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided 5 french double-lumen picc line placement via the left basilic venous approach. final internal length is 42 cm, with the tip positioned in svc. the

indication: 67-year-old woman status post cabg. assess swallow. video fluoroscopic swallow: a video fluoroscopic oropharyngeal swallow evaluation was done in conjunction with the speech and swallow pathology division. bolus formation, control, and tongue movement were severely impaired with consistent premature spillage noted. once the pharyngeal swallow was initiated palate elevation, laryngeal elevation and epiglottic deflection were within functional limits. no episodes of penetration or aspiration were observed throughout today's evaluation though evaluation was very limited by patient positioning. solid residue was noted remaining in the mid- to- distal esophagus after the evaluation. impression: severely prolonged oral phase with no definite evidence of aspiration, though evaluation was limited. retained residue within the esophagus. for further details, please consult the speech and swallow pathology evaluation available on careweb. brief hospital course: initially the patient was diuresed aggressively with a lasix drip and iv diuril with very good effect, becoming 3-4l negative per day. she lost approximately 15-18lbs of fluid weight this way. however, her creatinine began to rise and it was felt that we had reached the limit of active diuresis. at that time, it was noted that she had 3+ mr on a previous echocardiogram which was likely making her heart failure much worse than it appeared to be. after diuresis, the 3+ mr persisted, suggesting that the mr was not worsened by fluid overload. in discussion with her cardiologist, dr. , and the patient, it was felt that she would benefit from mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and redo cabg. after active diuresis, she was changed to a maintenance dose of oral torsemide and hctz which maintained her volume status. however, her diuretic regimen will likely need to be altered after her surgery. in preparation for surgery she underwent evaluation of her carotids which showed a patent right carotid and a 60-69% stenosis in the left. she was also seen by dental who recommended the extraction of teeth #21, 22, 28, and 29 which was done by dr. . cardiac surgery also recommended an evaluation by gi given her history of gi bleeding and the increased intraoperative risk given the large heparin dose she would get. she received an egd with small bowel enteroscopy which showed some small avms in the stomach which were cauterized and no further avms in the visualized portion of the small bowel. she also received a colonoscopy which only showed a benign appearing polyp that was biopsied but not removed given the plans for surgery. the gastroenterologists felt that she had a moderate risk of bleeding during perioperative time period. she was continued on her ppi twice daily for further prophylaxis. in discussion with the patient and the cardiac surgeons, it was felt appropriate to continue with the surgery. on the patient was brought to the operating room where she underwent redo sternotomy/cabgx2(svg-lad,svg-diag)mvrepair(26 ring)tvrepair(34 band). please see or report for details, see tolerated the operation and was transferred to the cardiac surgery icu on milrinone, levophed and epinephrine infusions. she received vancomycin perioperatively as she was an inpatient preoperatively. for several days postoperatively the patient remained intubated and sedated on inotropes and pressors. she had episodes of rapid atrial fibrillation and was startedon amiodarone, as well as heparin and coumadin. she was started on flagyl for ? of cdiff with wbc of 34. she was extubated on pod #3. on pod #4, she required re-intubation for apnea. seen by id for continued leukocytosis of unknown etiology and started on empiric vanco and zosyn. her creatinine rose to 2, and she required higher blood pressures, as well as torsemide and albumin to maintain urine output. she was extubated again on pod #6. milrinone and vasopressin weans continued. she was started on digoxin for rate control. she converted to sinus rhythm. she was again reintubated on pod #17 for near badycardic near arrest. she was seen by electrophysiology who recommended waiting for clinical improvement prior to pacer placement. she was started on natrecor for diuresis. she was started on tube feeds. left sided chest tube was placed for pleural effusion. she was seen by orthopedic surgery for decreased rom in her left shoulder. there were no acute issues found. yeast grew from her sputum and urine and she was started on fluconazole. she had no further episodes of bradycardia and did not require a pacemaker. she was extubated again on . diuresis and volume status continued to be an issue. she was seen by heart failure and started on sildenafil. on she underwent bilateral thoracentesis. dialysis catheter was placed on . cvvh was started for fluid removal. she had rapid atrial fibrillation, and was given iv amiodarone and again became bradycardic. iv amio was discontinued. speech and swallow evaluation recommended starting nectar thick and pureed consistencies, with tube feeds as primary source of nutrition. she was changed to hd. tunnelled dialysis catheter was placed on . she was transferred to the floor on . she received tube feeds overnight for supplementation. her dobhoff was then discontinued her appetite improved. repeat swallowing

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 now a nine-hour-old term infant, delivered by repeat cesarean section this afternoon after an apparently uncomplicated gestation, to a healthy woman who received routine obstetrical care. prenatal screens were notable for ab positive blood type, antibody negative screening, hbsag negative, rpr nonreactive, rubella immune, group b strep negative status. the patient was delivered by repeat cesarean section with a vacuum assist for extraction from the uterus. apgars were 7 and 8. the patient was given blow-by oxygen and stim. there was no positive pressure ventilation in the delivery room. the patient was sent to the newborn nursery. apparently the patient had an unremarkable 18 week ultrasound by verbal report. the patient did well in the newborn nursery, breast feeding with intermittent tachypnea. we are asked to see the patient by dr. at approximately seven hours of age. at that time, the patient was comfortable, but with respiratory rate in the 80s. there was no grunting, flaring or retracting. cardiac examination was notable for a point of maximal impulse in the right, with increased heart sounds in the right hemithorax. breath sounds were heard bilaterally. a chest x-ray was obtained. following the chest x-ray, there was noted to be an increase in respiratory distress with crying. chest x-ray showed gas-filled cystic structures in the left hemithorax, raising a question of congenital diaphragmatic hernia or congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. there was no air leak noted, and the heart was shifted to the right. in the newborn intensive care unit, oxygen saturations in room air were noted to be in the mid-90s. following chest x-ray, there was mild to moderate work of breathing noted with crying. the patient had tube placed to suction after receipt of the x-ray, and the patient was intubated with 3.5 oral endotracheal tube. the patient was placed on ventilator settings of 20/5 with a rate of 20. in 40 to 50% on these settings, the patient had saturations in the 99 to 100 range and an arterial blood gas showed a ph of 7.44, co2 28, and po2 96. the rate was decreased to 15. the patient maintained oxygen saturations in the 99 to 100% range. physical examination: the patient was a pink, active, non-dysmorphic infant. the skin was without lesions. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination was within normal limits. there were red reflexes present bilaterally. cardiac examination showed a normal s1 and s2, without murmurs. point of maximal impulse was as noted above. there were decreased breath sounds over the left hemithorax, with the abdomen perhaps being slightly scaphoid. genitalia were those of a normal male. there were bilaterally descended testes. neurological examination was nonfocal and age-appropriate. the spine was intact. the hips were normal. the anus was patent. hospital course by system: 1. cardiovascular/respiratory: after receipt of the x-ray showing cystic structures in the left hemithorax, a nasogastric tube was placed to suction and the patient was electively intubated with a 3.5 oral endotracheal tube after pre-medication with nasal midazolam. the patient received no positive pressure ventilation until after the endotracheal tube was placed. chest x-ray shows the endotracheal tube tip to be high in the thorax. it was advanced .75 cm. repeat chest x-ray is to be done. blood pressure was within normal limits. cardiac examination was unremarkable, as noted above. 2. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the patient was made nothing by mouth and placed on intravenous hydration. 3. hematology: cbc and blood culture were sent. cbc showed a hematocrit of 46.9, with a white blood count of 20.9, 57 polys and 0 bands. platelet count was 277,000. 4. gastrointestinal: patient placed on gastric suction as noted above. 5. infectious disease: there were no infectious risk factors noted. given the normal cbc, antibiotic treatment has not been begun as of yet. 6. neurologic: the patient has manifested a normal neurologic examination throughout his hospital stay here. 7. routine health care maintenance: the patient's pediatrician will be . the patient is being covered by dr. from the center. the patient has received a routine newborn screening specimen, which has been sent to the regional newborn screening program. given the early timing of this specimen, a repeat will be needed prior to discharge home. as with all newborns, routine hearing screening is suggested prior to ultimate discharge home. the patient has received vitamin k and ilotycin ophthalmologic prophylaxis. the patient has not received hepatitis b immunization. discharge diagnosis: 1. probable left congenital diaphragmatic hernia 2. possible congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation 3. respiratory distress requiring mechanical ventilation discharge disposition: the patient is to be transferred to 7 north, care of dr. and in the pediatric intensive care unit. mother and father have been made aware of transfer and have provided consent. dr. and dr. , pediatrician and obstetrician respectively from , have been notified of the patient's condition and transfer. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours insertion of endotracheal tube

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: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: headache major surgical or invasive procedure: : left placement : diagnostic cerebral angiogram : craniotomy & mass resection. placement of right history of present illness: 40 yo f awoke from sleep with severe sudden onset headache followed by emesis. per her husband she was confused and screaming in pain. she currently complains of headache, although confused and unable to obtain other history. past medical history: none social history: married, two children, smokes cigarettes and has etoh occasionally family history: nc physical exam: hunt and : 3 : 4 gcs e: 3 v: 4 motor 6 o: t: bp: 109/61 hr: 94 r 20 o2sats 98% gen: wd/wn, lethargic. heent: pupils: 3->2mm bilat eoms intact neck: supple. lungs: cta bilaterally. cardiac: rrr. s1/s2. abd: soft, nt, bs+ extrem: warm and well-perfused. no c/c/e. neuro: mental status: lethargic, awakens to voice. orientation: oriented to person, hospital. speech slurred with slowed response. cranial nerves: i: not tested ii: pupils equally round and reactive to light, 3 to 2 mm bilaterally. visual fields are full to confrontation. iii, iv, vi: extraocular movements intact bilaterally without nystagmus. v, vii: facial strength and sensation intact and symmetric. viii: hearing intact to finger rub bilaterally. ix, x: palatal elevation symmetrical. : sternocleidomastoid and trapezius normal bilaterally. xii: tongue midline without fasciculations. motor: normal bulk and tone bilaterally. no abnormal movements, tremors. not cooperating with formal motor exam, but moves all extremities symmetrically. toes downgoing bilaterally pertinent results: cerebral angiogram: extensive subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage. given the predominant location of intracranial hemorrhage in the cistern of lamina terminalis, the likely potential source of bleeding is considered anterior communicating artery. however, no discrete aneurysm formation ct brain - interval placement of ventricular drain with slight decrease in ventricular size. mri brain w/w/o contrast - abnormal enhancement is seen in the suprasellar region surrounding the hemorrhage extending to the sellar region suspicious for a suprasellar mass. given the location, there is suspicion for craniopharyngioma. however, the tumor characteristics are somewhat altered secondary to hemorrhage and compression. - no change in the ventricular or suprasellar hemorrhage. as noted on the prior study, the suprasellar clot demonstrates peripheral enhancement which is unchanged. ct brain - postoperative changes related to right ventriculostomy catheter placement with fluid and air along its course. right lateral ventricular blood clot has been evacuated. the left ventriculostomy catheter is in unchanged position. the left lateral ventricle is diminished in size compared to exam. heterogeneous suprasellar hemorrhagic mass is stable in appearance. mri brain - status post resection of the suprasellar mass. blood products are seen with post-surgical changes in the region. some residual enhancement is identified surrounding the blood clot since the previous study. no acute infarcts are seen. some restricted diffusion at the margin of surgical cavity appears to be related to patient's surgical procedure. ct brain - stable position of drains bilaterally. no evidence of hydrocephalus. stable suprasellar hemorrhage ct brain - s/p removal. no evidence fo acute hemorrhage or hydrocephalus cta chest- thrombus is present in the left lower lobe segmental pulmonary arteries. there is no significant evidence of right heart strain, however, the rv/lv ratio is difficult to assess as the left ventricle is predominantly in systole during the examination. ct head- post-operative changes following right craniotomy for resection of suprasellar mass. overlying subgaleal fluid collection is noted, possibly increased from prior studies. hematoma within the suprasellar cistern decreased in size and conspicuity, compatible with expected evolution of blood products. no new hemorrhage, edema, or mass effect. no hydrocephalus. leni's- no evidence of residual dvt in either lower extremity. ct head: 1. interval enlargement of the subgaleal fluid collection overlying the right frontal craniotomy. 2. no evidence of interval change in the intracranial compartment. no hydrocephalus. ct head: stable ventricular size. decrease in subgaleal collection as 60cc was reportedly aspirated. ct head: slight reaccumulation of subgaleal collection. stable ventricular size brief hospital course: ms. was intubated in the emergency room for left frontal placement. she was taken to angiogram the following day to evaluate for an underlying vascular lesion. she was started on dilantin for seizure prophylaxis. angiogram was negative for an avm or aneurysm. an mri of the brain with contrast revealed a small enhancing lesion above the pituitary gland. during her post angio course patient had diabetes insipidus on . her sodium rapidly increased from 141 to 157. her sodium elevated to 162. pt was given ddavp and endocrine was consulted for further management. she continued to have increase urine output, but improved with ddavp. patient remained intubated and was taken to the operating room on for right frontal craniotomy resection of sella/supra sellar mass and right placement. please review dictated operative report for details. postoperatively she was started on dexamethasone for cerebral edema. she remained intubated post-op and was transferred to the neuro icu for further management. she had a post operative head ct and mri which showed partial resection of sellar mass and post operative changes. there was no evidence infarct or acute hemorrhages. she was extubated without incident and continued to be monitored with prn ddavp for high urine output and elevated serum na. bilateral wean was begun on . pt tolerated it without elevation of icps or increased headache. on 4.26 her 's were rasied to 20cm of h2o and she toelrated it well until the mornign of 4.27 when she was ntoed to have leakage around the site on the right side. a stitch was placed and no further leakage was noted. a nchct was obtained to assess for hydrocephalus which showed stable ventricular size. following this her 's were clamped. she was transitioned to oral ddavp per endocrine team. dexamethasone was slowly tapered every other day to 2mg . on a repeat head ct showed stable size of lateral ventricles without evidence of hcp. thus 's were removed in routine fashion without incident. another repeat head ct deomonstrated no acute hemorrhage or hydrocephalus. she was transferred to sdu in stable condition for frequent neuro checks and for monitor uo. overnight, sodium decreased to 132 and given concern for siadh patient was fluid restricted. endocrine rec: qid serum sodiums. on the patient was neurologically stable but she was tachycardic to the 140's. this was discussed with endocrine and ivf bolus was recommended. she was also febrile to 102.1 so a fever work up was sent. her u/a was significant for infection so she was started on a course of cipro and her foley was changed. she then began putting out excessive amounts of urine and continued to be tachycardic so a cta chest was performed which was positive for pe. at this time she was transferred to the icu. na was noticed to be elevated so she was given a 1l fluid bolus. on she was neurologically stable. leni's were ordered were negative for dvt. general surgery was consulted for ivc filter placement. repeat na was trending up (157) so she was started on ivf per endocrine recs. on her serum na continued to trend up to 160 and her urine output increased to greater than 300cc/hr for 2 hours. she responded to an oral dose of ddavp and her urine output dropped off. she continued to receive ivf and her serum na started to downtrend. serum na, osm, urine na osm and spec gravity were followed closely for ddavp dosing. she underwent placement of a rightside picc line. she also underwent placement of an ivc filter with general surgery. on the evening of it was noted that she had an enlarging subgaleal collection under the right craniotomy site and so a head ct was performed that demonstrated communication with the ventricular system. a followup head ct was obtained on the morning of that showed enlargement of the subgaleal collection. on the evening of an left frontal was attempted but was not successful, likely due to small ventricular size. subsequently the subgaleal fluid collection was aspirated at the bedside, 60cc withdrawn and a headwrap was placed. repeat head ct on demonstrated no increase in ventricular size but did show residual fluid collection. she was then followed with serial head cts. on 5.6 she was deemed fit for transfer to the sdu. her subgaleal collection had slightly reaccumulated and her neuro status was stable so the collection was not drained. also her nutritional intake was questionable so calorie counts were initiated. she remained stable in the sdu on and and her neuro exam was improved as well. her subgaleal collection remained stable if not slightly decreased without headwrap. endocrinology continued to follow and recommended changing her evening dosing of ddavp to 0.1 and increase her encourages fluid intake to 2 liters daily in an attempt to wean her off of iv fluids on the morning of her mental status continued to improve however she self-removed her picc line in the morning. she was not receiving any medication intravenously and as such the picc was not replaced. her serum na continued to improve and the salt tabs were stopped and fluid restriction was lifted however on her serum na droppped to 131. she was placed on a 1.5 l fluid restriction and her am dose of desmopressin was held on . her na improved to 133 in the morning of . her na needs to be closely followed over the next several days to ensure that it normalizes. at the time of discharge she is tolerating a regular diet, ambulating with close assist, afebrile with stable vital signs. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for pain or fever. 2. glucagon

92, bicarb 33, bun 51, creatinine 1.4, glucose 347. hospital course: 1. given the patient's significant dyspnea on emergency department admission patient was given lasix 40 mg iv, started on nitroglycerin drip and was given nonrebreather followed by cpap but became agitated and sats remained suboptimal. the patient was emergently intubated in the emergency department for respiratory failure. chest film obtained in the emergency department was consistent with congestive heart failure. the patient was transferred to the cardiac intensive care unit for management of presumed congestive heart failure. patient was also begun on empiric antibiotics given high level of suspicion for pneumonia given the patient's fever and productive cough. the patient was begun on levofloxacin as well as vancomycin given his history of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. patient was aggressively diuresed, however, remained febrile with increasing secretions. his initial sputum culture as well as blood culture grew out mrsa and patient was continued on vancomycin which was begun on the . the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit on the for further management. micu course was notable for significant improvement in his respiratory status with ongoing diuresis and antibiotics as well as frequent chest pt and frequent nebs. the patient was successfully extubated on the . the patient initially required significant oxygen via nasal cannula but was progressively weaned to minimal oxygen via nasal cannula. the patient defervesced while in the intensive care unit and remained afebrile for several days prior to discharge from the intensive care unit on the . over that time his white blood cell count also decreased significantly. after discharge the patient was weaned off oxygen via nasal cannula to the point where he was requiring only one liter of oxygen via nasal cannula. he was able to ambulate 40 feet prior to discharge with a room air saturation in the 86-95% range while ambulating. 2. congestive heart failure. as mentioned above the patient was aggressively diuresed and initially received intravenous lasix and was switched to a p.o. regimen on the . the patient's p.o. lasix was increased from 80 mg p.o. q. day to 80 b.i.d. the patient was noted to have improving congestive heart failure but was noted to still have some failure on physical examination through the . the patient underwent repeat echocardiogram on the which demonstrated severe global left ventricular hypokinesis as well as distal anterolateral and basal inferoseptal walls that contract the best. no discrete left ventricular thrombus was seen. right ventricular cavity was mildly dilated with inferior wall hypokinesis. when compared with a prior study of the patient's left ventricular systolic function was more depressed and patient appeared to have a higher level of pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. his ejection fraction was estimated to be between 20 and 25%. 3. methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infection. patient was noted to have mrsa bacteremia on admission. subsequent blood cultures were negative after the initiation of vancomycin. patient was also noted to have mrsa urinary tract infection on admission as well as mrsa positive sputum culture as mentioned above. given the concern for endocarditis as a possible source of his mrsa bacteremia, patient underwent initially transthoracic echocardiogram and later transesophageal echocardiography on the . the transesophageal echocardiogram did not demonstrate any evidence of vegetation in his cardiac valves. as mentioned before, the patient defervesced while in the intensive care unit and remained afebrile for several days prior to discharge and had a white count that decreased from 10 on admission to 8.3 on the day prior to discharge. 4. acute cholecystic hepatitis. patient was noted to have an elevated alkaline phosphatase while in the intensive care unit that had elevated from his admission level of 760 to a maximum of 1375 on the . this was accompanied by increase in his total bilirubin from admission value of 1.4 up to 2.2 also on the and a mild transaminitis which peaked at 41 with alt on the 11th and 41 as well for the ast on the 11th. the patient, however, had a benign abdominal examination and a right upper quadrant ultrasound showed no evidence of ductal dilatation and normal flow. specifically, the common bile duct measured 4-5 mm and the portal vein was open with hepatopetal flow. given the patient's tpn he was not a candidate for mrcp and a decision was made not to pursue ercp in this patient given his benign abdominal examination given the significant risks given the patient's cardiac status as he was anticoagulated for his atrial fibrillation and also because his alkaline phosphatase began to decrease from its peak on the and shortly decreased to 1000 the day prior to discharge. likewise, his bilirubin decreased from the peak level of 2.2 down to 1.3 on the day prior to discharge. the patient will follow up with his gastroenterologist following discharge. 5. anemia. the patient was noted to have a baseline iron deficient anemia. his hematocrit on admission was 26. patient received two units of packed red blood cells and his hematocrit remained stable throughout the remainder of the hospitalization. he was noted to have guaiac positive stool and the patient will follow up once again with his gastroenterologist following discharge as he will require a follow-up colonoscopy. 6. atrial fibrillation: the patient remained well rate controlled on his regimen of metoprolol and he was maintained on coumadin for his target inr of 2.0 to 3.0. 7. hypertension: the patient was noted to have labile blood pressures throughout the course of his admission. he briefly required a nitroglycerin drip while in the intensive care unit which was successfully discontinued. his captopril dose was titrated to 100 mg t.i.d. and his toprol was increased to 37.5 mg t.i.d. the patient was also given p.r.n. hydralazine. his blood pressures remained stable on an oral regimen following his transfer to the medical floor on the . 8. diabetes mellitus: the patient was maintained on his outpatient regimen of nph 35 q. a.m., 15 q. p.m. as well as regular insulin sliding scale. 9. coronary artery disease. the patient was maintained on aspirin, statin, beta blocker and ace inhibitor as above. 10. chronic renal insufficiency: the patient's creatinine remained stable throughout the course of the hospitalization. his creatinine was 1.7 on admission and 1.6 the day prior to discharge. 11. physical therapy: the patient was initially able to only walk several steps without significant difficulty. however, with physical therapy he was able to increase his endurance to the point that he could walk 40 feet the day prior to discharge. condition at discharge: stable. discharge diagnoses: include: 1. respiratory distress. 2. methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia. 3. methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. 4. methicillin-resistant

hold. if concern persists, ercp could be performed for further evaluation. 2. cirrhosis. trace ascites. 3. cholelithiasis. 4. infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, which is partially thrombosed, and unchanged in appearance when compared to the recent ct, and better evaluated on that ct. 5. fibrosis at the right lung base with scarring involving the left lateral pleura as well as right hilar lymphadenopathy, findings unchanged from recent chest ct. brief hospital course: the patinet is a 66 year old man with severe copd, aaa and htn who presented with right-sided chest pain and worsening shortness of breath, and was found the have a pulmonary embolus and pneumonia. #. pe: pt found to have rll segmental pe and likely infarct on cta of the chest. also with left lower extremity dvt seen on ultrasound. no indication of rv strain on ecg. pt was monitored overnight in icu and remained stable. he was treated with heparin drip and then coumadin added to treat pe. over the course of his stay, patient reported less pleuritic chest pain and became less tachycardic. patient with no clear cause for thrombosis; denies family history, recent immobilization or travel. most likely inciting factor is malignancy given recent significant weight loss and multiple abnormalities seen on ct. he should be continued on the heparin drip and coumadin until his inr is between 2 and 3 for 2 days. then the heparin drip should be discontinued. he should follow up with the at through his primary care physician, . , for titration of his coumadin dosing as an outpatient when he is discharged from rehab. # pna: patient noted to have cough and leukocytosis as well as lll consodiation on ct scan. given recent hospitalization, ventilator support and treatment with levofloxacin, patient was treated for hcap with vancomycin and cefepime for a planned 14 day course (to end on ). a picc line was placed for continued administration of antibiotics on . shortness of breath improved somewhat with treatment. sputum culture was obtained, but showed only upper respiratory flora. he should have a follow-up ct chest in weeks to ensure resolution of lll consolidation. on the day of discharge, vancomycin trough was elevated at 27. vancomycin dosing was decreased from 1000 mg to 750 mg . he should have a repeat vancomycin trough after four doses at the current amount (morning of ). # weight loss: pt with recent significant weight loss over the past few months, as well as multiple abnormalities on ct suggestive of possible malignancy. these include lll pneumonia that looks like it adheres to pleura, as well as dilatation of pancratic duct and debris in trachea. patient with significant smoking history as well. mrcp obtained to evaluate for possible abdominal malignancy as a cause of pancreatic duct dilatation. results show similar findings to ct scan; moderate dilation of common bile duct and pancreatic duct, most likely due to papillary stenosis vs. sphincter of oddi dysfuncion, but no evidence of malignancy. he should follow up with his primary care physician to have colonoscopy, especially given iron deficiency anemia. in addition, he will need a follow-up ct of chest to re-evaluate the lll infiltrate, ensure resolution and no underlying malignancy. this should be scheduled in weeks as noted above. #anemia: hemoglobin and hematocrit lower compared to patient's baseline. now at (9.9, 30.2). guaiac negative stool. labs consistent with combined iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease. started patient on ferrous sulfate. will continue on ferrous sulfate as outpatient. will also need outpatient colonoscopy as above. his hct should be checked days after discharge to ensure it has not dropped further. hct on the day of discharge was 31.2. # copd: patient with known copd with multiple exacerbations associated with pneumonia. he has had multiple hospitalizations and a recent intubation in for copd exacerbation and pneumonia. he is on 2l nc with ambulation at home. during this admission he was continued on supplemental oxygen, albuterol and ipratropium nebulizers every four to six hours as needed. he should be continued on these medications and oxygen titrated as tolerated at rehab. . #. aaa: pt with increase in aaa since , but stable on this admission compared to recent ultrasound . ct scans were reviewed by vascular surgery, who felt there was no evidence of leak and no current indication for surgical intervention. he should have a follow-up abdominal ultrasound in six months. # hyperlipidemia: continued on home

was taken to the or for orthotopic deceased donor abo incompatible liver transplant with splenectomy. please refer to dr. operative note post-operatively, he was in the surgical icu until , course complicated by a prolonged inability to wean him from the ventilator, remain successfully extubated and mental status issues. he was transferred to the med- floor on with most of his care focused around improving his nutritional status, hemodialysis and optimal titration of his immunosuppression. pertinent details, by systems: neuro: he was initially sedated post-liver transplant with a combination of fentanyl, versed and propofol. these medications were ultimately weaned though required in varying doses to keep him comfortable on the ventilator. his pain control was initially managed with fentanyl, then morphine, then oxycodone/tylenol when tolerating pos. in between intubations, while extubated (see respiratory section), he did demonstrate confusion and was not at his baseline mental status. he ultimately cleared when weaned from the sedation and narcotics. on the floor, he quickly returned to aaox3 and used minimal narcotics, his pain regimen consisting of acetaminophen and oxycodone 2.5 mg q4h prn. cv: he was weaned off his pressors on pod 1. he was otherwise hemodynamically stable, though he intermittently required levophed during the initial half of his icu course while he was receiving plasmapheresis and crrt. during the latter days in the icu, his pressures were strong enough off of pressors to allow him to tolerate hd instead of crrt. on , he experienced an episode of chest pain and cardiac markers were positive (elev of tn 0.5 and ck altho raised 10k but cardiac index 0.4). cardiology was consulted. per cardiolgy, after review of data (ekg, ces, hx) it appeared that he may have had a peri-operative myocardial infarction (anteroseptal mi vs subendocardial ischemia) around during stressors (reintubation...) rather than single episode of chest pain. recommendations for nstemi were medical management to optimize/limit his infarct in case of recurrence. anti-coagulation or any other invasive procedures. he had no further chest pain. he was placed on asa and plavix. post-splenectomy thrombocytosis (900k) resp: his icu course was characterized by multiple failed extubations. initially extubated on pod 1 and reintubated into pod 2 due to tachypnea and worsening oxygen saturations. he was again extubated on pod 3 and reintubated on pod 5. each extubation was characterized by tolerating minimal vent settings prior to extubation as well as rsbi scores in the <60 range. however, he quickly reaccumulated secretions and cxr demonstrated collapsed lungs. he had multiple bronchoscopies that cleared copious secretions. all bal cultures were negative. he was finally extubated with success on pod 9. he received an liver from ab donor. his blood type was o. splenectomy was done for this reason to decrease antibodies against donor. plasmapheresis was done daily for 2 weeks for a total of 14 treatments. antia and antib antibody titters were monitored daily. immunosuppressive consisted of atg x 4 doses, cellcept, steroid taper and prograf. lfts trended down. liver duplex demonstrated patent vasculature with good flows. post splenectomy vaccines were administered on (haemophilus and pneumococcal) and meningococcal (menactra)on . jp drains ( in hilar area and posterior to liver) were removed as non bilious drainage diminished. the splenectomy resection bed jp was left in place. abdominal ct () was done for rising wbc . this demonstrated a 9cm heterogeneous fluid collection near the tail of the pancreas consistent with clot. he remained afebrile despite elevated wbc. on , a liver duplex was done for decrease in hct. vasculature was patent. adjacent collection was increased to 12 cm. on , under ct guidance, a 12 fr pigtail drain was placed in luq near splenic bed. drainage was bloody. he continued on broad spectrum antibiotics. drain fluid culture was negative. this pigtail drain output average 70 - 120 cc each day and continued to be bloody. the drain will remain in place upon discharge he required hemodialysis 3 times a week via left chest tunnelled catheter. he tolerated dialysis well. on , tunnelled line insertion site was red with greenish, purulent drainage. catheter was removed. on , a left ij tunnelled line was placed. output started to increase around . hemodialysis was done on after tunnelled line was replaced (on left, ij). dialysis was held on given output increase to 1100 cc per day. potassium increased though to 5.8 on for which kayexalate was administered. nephrology followed closely noting increased output. the plan was to perform dialysis twice weekly. should output increase greater than 1 liter consistently with normal chemistry labs, hemodialysis was to be discontinued. of note on , potasium had increased to 5.3 and on .8. ekg was unchanged and kayexalate was administered with potassium decrease to 5.4. two gram potassium diet was ordered and tube feeds were switched to nepro. given insufficient calorie intake, a post pyloric feeding tube had been placed and tube feeds were started. this was eventually cycled over 12 hours. glucoses were managed with lantus (20 units) and sliding scale humalog. he did experience frequent loose stool. c. difficile dna amplification assay was negative on . physical therapy worked with him extensively noting debilitation. rehab was recommended. given h/o left leg bypass graft infection, he was continued on preop med, dicloxacillin for prophylactic suppression coverage. this was resuned on . prior to this had been covered by vancomycin x 17 days. he also received zosyn x 7 days while in icu

bronchoscopy was performed in the which was concerning for alveolar hemorrhage. this was performed because of blood in his endotracheal secretions. the cause was likely severe hypertension. serologies were sent for , anca and anti-gbm, all of which were negative. he had no further obvious episodes of hemorrhage and had no hemoptysis after leaving the floor. # hypertension: patient has severe htn, on multiple meds in setting of underlying esrd. he was initially continued on home doses of , carvedilol, lisinopril, amlodipine. on the floor, he remianed hypertensive and his patch was increased to 0.3mg/24h. on , developed bp into 220/120s with flash pulmonary edema. he was transferred to the icu and started on nitro drip and also received iv labetalol to lower his bp. htn thought to be related to fluid overload, he improved with an extra session of hd which removed 3l by ultrafultration. patient has been recently skipping hd sessions and sometimes hd cut short due to crampy chest pain. his carvedilol was changed to labetalol to allow for more room to uptitrate. at discharge, he was on labetalol 300mg q8h with bp in the 160s. we wanted to monitor his bp for another 24 hours after this medication change but the patient insisted on leaving ama, as described below. # anemia: chronic anemia related to esrd. transfused one unit during hospitalization. no source of acute bleed was identified aside from mild degree of pulmonary hemorrhage, as discussed below. # esrd on hd (tuthsa): renal was consulted and he continued to receive hd as an inpatient. continued on sevelamer and nephrocaps. had urgent dialysis on for hypertensive emergency and pulmonary edema as described above. # dm1: initially presented with severe hyperglycemia. developed hypoglycemia on insulin gtt requiring d20 to maintain normoglycemia. after initial transfer to the floor, he remained hyperglycemic with multiple "critical high" blood sugars requiring additional doses of lantus. at the time of his second micu stay, he was again hyperglycemic to the 400s. anion gap ~16-17, but also with esrd. ph 7.45 on abg. does not make urine, so cannot measure urine ketone. no clear evidence of dka. patient restarted on insulin drip and transitioned to subcutaneous insulin once tolerating po. josline was consulted and his lantus dose was increased to 14 units qam and 12 units qpm. again, we had hoped to monitor his glucose for longer after the most recent uptitration of his insulin, however he left ama. #ama: on , the patient was still mildly hypertensive to the 160s systolic and his labetalol had just been uptutrated. we had also recently increased his lantus dose. we wanted to monitor him longer to ensure adequate bp and glycemic control after these medication changes. however, the patient was very frustrated with being in the hospital and chose to leave ama. he understood and was able to repeat the risks of leaving, including worsening hypertension, fluid accumulation in the lungs, hyperglycemia and dka and possible death. # code status this admission: full code #transitional issues -will need bp closely monitored, antiypertensive regimen changed: carvedilol 25mg changed to labetalol 300mg q8h -will need close monitoring of his blood sugar with uptitration of his lantus this admission -dry weight should be re-evaluated so that an appropriate amount of fluid is removed with each hd session -would likely benefit from outpatient social work given that he is very frustrated and depressed about the state of his health, which may be contributing to his poor compliance. medications on admission: -

centered in the left basal ganglia with surrounding edema and associated mass effect. edema appears increased compared to study performed earlier the same day, and the extent of the hyperdense hematoma is also increased. measured in a previous similar fashion to prior study, it appears to have increased in maximal dimension from 6.9 x 3.7 cm to 8.0 x 3.5 cm in the axial plane. there is a small intraventricular component seen within the occipital of the left lateral ventricle. there is no blood in the third or fourth ventricles. there is associated mass effect causing effacement of the adjacent sulci, and rightward subfalcine herniation, with up to 12 mm shift of normally midline structures. the basal cisterns are patent, without evidence for transtentorial herniation. there is no subarachnoid or subdural blood identified. remote from this hematoma, the white matter demonstrate sequelae of chronic small vessel infarction, but there is no ct evidence for acute large vascular territory infarction. there are no abnormal extra-axial fluid collections. the visualized bones demonstrate no acute abnormality, including no fracture. the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally aerated. extracranial soft tissues, including the globes and orbits, are normal. impression: large left intraparenchymal hematoma, centered in the left basal ganglia. this is most likely hypertensive in etiology. this appears minimally enlarged compared to study performed earlier the same day, and there is also increased edema, with resultant increased mass effect and now 12-mm rightward shift of normally midline structures. there is a small amount of blood seen in the occipital of the left lateral ventricle, without further intraventricular extension. no additional foci of intracranial hemorrhage are identified. ct c-spine findings: there is no fracture or traumatic malalignment involving the cervical spine. vertebral bodies are normal in height. the atlanto-axial and atlanto-occipital articulations are maintained. prevertebral soft tissue swelling is difficult to assess given intubation and presence of secretions in the airway, however, there is no obvious prevertebral soft tissue swelling present. there is moderate-to-severe multilevel degenerative change, most notable at c5-c6, c6-c7 and c7-t1. at these levels, particularly at c5-c6, there is complete loss of intervertebral disc space, and profuse marginal osteophyte formation. there is minimal anterolisthesis of c7 on t1, most likely degenerative given the underlying changes at this level. there is no critical canal stenosis. neural foramina are moderately narrowed at multiple levels. visualized lung apices demonstrate no acute process, including no consolidation and no pneumothorax. soft tissues of the neck are notable for lack of mass lesion or adenopathy. nodules are identified within the thyroid, both right and left lobes, which should be evaluated nonemergently as clinically indicated with ultrasound. impression: 1. no fracture or definite traumatic malalignment involving the cervical spine. 2. moderate-to-severe multilevel degenerative change, most severe from c5 through t1. slight anterolisthesis at c7-t1 is most likely degenerative. 3. nodular thyroid, should be evaluated non-emergently with ultrasound as clinically indicated. brief hospital course: ms. is an 82-year old woman of unknown handendess who presented with speech difficulty, then less than five minutes later was found down and transferred to after being found to have a large left frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage. her exam currently reveals anisocoria and right hemiparesis. her ct shows extension of the bleed seen on 's imaging. she was initially intubated for airway protection before transfer to and placed on standing mannitol to prevent increased intracranial pressure. she was noted to have a uti, for which she was started on ciprofloxacin. on a family meeting was held

Medical Report: allergies: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: diarrhea, tachycardia major surgical or invasive procedure: picc line placement and removal history of present illness: a 82-year-old female with a history of recurrent large cutaneous b-cell lymphoma in complete remission, cad, as, a-fib, who presented to urgent care today for diarrhea and weakness and was sent to the ed for tachcardia. she started to feel unwell around . she developed shortness of breath, rhinorrhea, post nasal drip and cough. her temp was 100.5 and given her cough she was thought to have a bacterial infection and was given augmentin 10 day course, and 4 day course of prednisone 40mg daily. she was seen one days later () and reported improvement of her symptoms. . she completed her prednisone but while on the augmentin she developed 3-4 episodes of diarrhea per day. it was non-bloody, but did contain mucous. she had associated cramping. she reports poor po intake over this time. no chest pain, shortness of breath. no vomiting. positive urge to deficate after eaeting. . of note her she has chronic paf, on coumadin, s/p cardioversion in . rate/rhythm control previously on procainamide, dig, atenolol -> now on dig, atenolol, still primarily in sinus, with occ runs of afib. of note in atenolol was attempted to be reduced to 37.5 and amlodipine was added at 2.5mg. this was done to try to decrease raynaud's. at that time her dig level was noted to be high and that dose was decreased (to 125 from 250). this caused her to have symptoms of lightheadedness and a holter revealed runs of a-tach (question flutter). discussion with cardiology at that time led to increasing atenolol and stopping the amlodipine. it appears however that she did not increase the atenolol. as of in her atenolol had not been increased, and per discussion with cards at that time, pcp increased to atenolol 50mg daily. . of note patient reports she accidentially took her coumadain on morning of admit, she normally takes it in afternoon. . in the ed initial vital signs were: 96.2 148 104/80 18 90% 2l l. her exam was significant for tachycardia. a chest x-ray showed "mild pulmonary vascular engorgement with mild right basilar atelectasis". a ct of the abdomen showed diffuse colitis. her abdominal exam was benign so surgery was not consulted. but because of concern for c. diff she was given iv flagyl. she was found to in a-fib. she was given 4l of normal saline based on her tachycardia as well as her history of diarrhea. after 4l of ns her lactate was

dehydrated and tachycardic. on ct in ed patient was found to have pan-colitis and had elevated lactate of 5.7. patient also had tachycardia to 150s. . micu course: . # diarrhea: in ed patient had ct consistent showing pan colitis, which was thought secondary antibiotic associated diarrhea vs inflammatory vs ischemic. c diff negative x3. review of ct abd shows tapering of intra-abdominal vessels with atherosclerotic disease concerning for chronic ischemia, supported by guaiac + stool. lactate on admission was 5.7, which improved throughout icu course. per radiology, ischemia is strong consideration especially given heart disease and extensive asd of celiac and sma. patient was treated for infectious colitis with vancomycin, zosyn, and flagyl. surgery was consulted to evaluate patient and felt that colitis was more likely infectious rather than ischemic given that the patient had a pan-colitis involving the rectum and her lactate had trended down. . although pt had c. diff negative x3, c. diff pcr was sent given high suspicion. flagyl and zosyn were continued throughout icu course. . # acute on chronic heart failure ?????? patient had tte demonstrating ef 25-30% with

htn (pap=46). viral cardiomyopathy vs. missed acute coronary event vs. volume overload may be the etiology of heart failure. patient was diuresed with lasix 20 mg iv. she was loaded on iv amiodarone and was transitioned to po amiodarone. cardiology was consulted and recommended starting aspirin and statin. pt was started on aspirin 325 mg daily. patient was not started on statin given elevation in lfts while in icu. please consider starting statin when patient more stable. . there was concern for infiltrative disease on echo. spep/upep were negative. . #. atrial fibrillation: her atenolol was increased to 50mg daily in and her digoxin dose remained the same. her current tachycardia is likely related to volume depletion from poor po intake and diarrhea. did not respond to esmolol given hypotension and was loaded with amiodarone which improved rate to 95-100. patient was switched to po amiodarone following iv load. digoxin was stopped in the context of acute renal failure. metoprolol was uptitrated to 37.5 tid while in icu and rate was well controlled. . # parainfluenza: sputum cx positive for parainfluenza consistent with recent upper respiratory symptoms. clinically she maintained her o2 saturation with normal work of breathing. pulmonary edema may also be contributing to dyspnea. ig panel with slightly decreased igg and normal igm/a. patient was treated with ipratropium nebs, robutussin, and flonase. . # elevated lactate: in the ed, lactate was initially 5.7. thought secondary to dehydration vs. poor perfusion heart failure vs. ischemic colitis vs. infection. surgery was consulted for possible ischemic colitis as above and infection was treated initially with broad spectrum antibiotics in icu. patient's lactate trended down while in icu. . # acute renal failure: at this point given history likely related to dehydration, pre-renal/atn. fena is 0.03% suggesting pre-renal etiology likely due to poor forward flow chf vs. dehydration. patient received iv fluids on admission without great improvement. following echo, arf thought possibly to poor forward flow - started diuresis with lasix iv boluses. . # supratherapeutic inr: inr was supratherapeutic on admission which places patient at risk for bleeding. causes include medication interaction, vitamin k deficiency, impaired liver function, heart failure, and diarrhea. patient had inr elevated as high as 17 during admission. patient receive po and iv vitamin k. inr trended down to 2.6 and coumadin was restarted at low dose of 0.5 mg daily (given that patient is on amiodarone

provided management recommendations throughout. metoprolol initially titrated up to 37.5 mg tid but patient became bradycardic and hypotensive. amiodarone was stopped due to concern for amiodarone-induced hepatic toxicity. patient restarted on home regimen of digoxin 125 mcg and metoprolol titrated up to 25 mg po tid with hr in the 60-90s. . # chronic diastolic and systolic congestive heart failure: echocardiogram showed depressed lvef of 25% to 30%. patient kept on aspirin, metoprolol (see above). recent lipid profile was normal so no statins were started. lisinopril was initially added but patient became hypotensive so it was stopped. . # transaminitis: ast/alt peaked at 444/380. etiology thought to be combination of congestive hepatopathy with ? amiodarone

Medical Report: allergies: iodine; iodine containing attending: chief complaint: fatigue major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: mr. is a 68 yo man with past history of pituitary tumor s/p resection () and remote seizure disorder, who presented from his group home with fatigue. he stated that a someone at the home called the ambulance to bring him in, but he cannot pinpoint the cause. he thought it may have been because he did not get out of bed the day pta. he denied fever and sob at home. he did have a chronic cough but he has smoked ppd x 50 years, with likely chronic bronchitis. he denied increased sputum production compared to his baseline. in the ed, he was initially normotensive and febrile to 102.9 with hr 97. he then dropped his blood pressures to the 70s systolic. he received a total of 5 l ns with improvement in blood pressure. head ct demonstrated an intracranial fluid collection concerning for an infection. he received levofloxacin and ceftriaxone; he also received dexamethasone 4 mg x 1 for possible meningitis. urinalysis was unrevealing. labs were notable for cr 1.7 (baseline 0.5 per old records) and lactate 2.4. he was evaluated by neurosurgery in the ed who felt that his fatigue and presentation was likely not related to his prior pituitary surgery. an lp was also performed to rule out cns infection. the patient denied headache, chest pain, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, dysuria, and shortness of breath. he did endorse diarrhea which started in the ed. he had had a pruritic rash on his back for 3 months. past

below) requiring brief micu admission for hypotension. initial cxr did not show an infiltrate; however, after volume repletion, an infiltrate was more evident on repeat cxr two days after presentation to the ed. it was thought that the pneumonia was the cause of his fatigue, malaise and headache, prompting presentation to the ed. he was also ruled out for influenza as well as meningitis (lp was negative). he was started on a ten day course of levofloxacin with improvement in his fevers and symptoms. acute renal failure: mr. creatinine was 1.7 on admission, up from his baseline around 0.5. this was thought to be secondary to prerenal volume depletion in the setting of his lung infection, and his creatinine improved significantly with ivf. he was discharged with cr 0.9. medications on

no evidence of aortic dissection or pulmonary embolism. again demonstrated is a right upper lobe mass and associated consolidation, encasing the right mainstem bronchus, right main pulmonary artery and right-sided pulmonary veins. there is an associated moderate- sized pleural effusion, with fluid tracking medially and into the fissure on occasion. the overall findings are largely unchanged from . mild centrilobular emphysema is present. the left lung is grossly clear without pleural effusion. the svc appears to be mildly narrowed, with prominent collaterals, similar in appearance to prior study. limited views of the upper abdomen reveal a rounded hypodensity within the mid pole of the left kidney, incompletely characterized. osseous structures: there is a stable compression fracture of the upper thoracic spine. no suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions are identified. there is generalized edema within the subcutaneous tissues, compatible with anasarca. there is a slightly sclerotic right third rib, similar in appearance to recent pet-ct. impression: 1. no evidence of aortic dissection or pulmonary embolism. 2. stable right hilar and upper lobe consolidation/mass. moderate-sized pleural effusion on the right, unchanged. tiny amount of pericardial fluid. mildly narrowed svc, with prominent collaterals. . u/s: no evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the left upper extremity. . ct chest with contrast: a tunneled dual chamber large bore dialysis catheter enters the right internal jugular vein and terminates in the right atrium. immediately superior to the confluence of the left brachiocephalic vein in the right brachiocephalic vein is a segment of marked narrowing/stenosis of the right brachiocephalic vein at which point there is no contrast about the catheter and redirection of contrast via multiple chest wall collaterals including collateralization of surface hepatic vessels via intramammary veins onsistent with hemodynamically significant alternation of normal venous flow. narrowing of the right subclavian vein at the thoracic outlet is likely not as contributory. although there is a significant conglomerate of tumor, hilar adenopathy, and consolidated lung that extends from the right hilum into the right apex obliterating the right upper, markedly compressing the right middle, and narrowing the right lower lobe bronchi (all of which unchanged in the short interval), the svc distends normally and the stenosis described seems confined to the distal right brachiocephalic vein. the heart and great vessels of the mediastinum are otherwise unchanged. the small right effusion is changed in distribution but not in size and there is no pericardial effusion. the left lung is clear aside from trace atelectasis. no suspicious lesions are identified in the spine. impression: suspected stenosis of the right brachiocephalic vein immediately superior to the left brachiocephalic confluence, due to the indwelling catheter, less likely tumor compression as the svc itself distends normally. appearance of the right upper lobe mass, adenopathy, and consolidation is unchanged. . ir guided venogram: 1) venograms demonstrated patent bilateral internal jugular and brachiocephalic veins. 2) small filling defects in the superior vena cava (catheter- related clot/fibrin sheath). no evidence of svc stenosis. 3) successful exchange for a new tunneled 23- cm cuff- to- tip 14 french double- lumen dialysis catheter, with the tip positioned in the right atrium. the line is ready for use. . cxr : there is no change in the known right upper lobe consolidation and atelectasis. no change compared to the prior studies. there is interval increase in the right pleural effusion, current to moderate. the left lung is unremarkable within the limitation of the chest radiograph. the double-lumen catheter inserted through right subclavian approach terminates in mid distal svc. there is no pneumothorax. . portable supine abdomen, one view: retained contrast is seen throughout the entire colon, which appears unremarkable. there are no dilated loops of bowel. there is no supine evidence for free intraperitoneal air or pneumatosis. brief hospital course: # small cell lung cancer t2n2mo(stage iiia), diagnosed , s/p surgery, chemo w/ cisplatin & etoposide, & radiation. most recent treatment with vp etoposide cycle 14 and neulasta . # upper extremity edema: the patient was admitted for upper extremity and facial swelling concerning for svc syndrome. ct venogram was initially concerning for extrensic compression of the svc by her tumor but thrombus around the dialysis catheter could not be ruled. rad/onc advised against any repeat radiation. on further review, it was thought that the area of

to take 2 tabs immediatly afterward and the remaining 2 tabs 6hrs later for less gastric irritation. pt should be kept on this indefinately, since being diabetic she is at risk for recurrent abscesses. this can be reevaluated in the future. #. gyn: pt noticed a small nodule in her vagina - not causing itching or pain. gyn was consulted and it was determined to be a sebacous cyst. pt also had a vaginal discharge which was due to bacterial vaginosis. they did not recommend treating this since she was asymptomatic. pt also was found to on to have 10mm thickening of the endometrium. pt denied current bleeding, and denied bleeding for 5 years. pt is scheduled for a pelvic us on as outpt, and will have follow up with this on with gyn. #. asymtomatic pyuria- pt has been anuric, but had a sample of urine sent for culture on by cath and was found to have 100,000 of g(-)rods. pt was symptomatic at the time, but currently denied any symptoms () and denied any suprapubic tenderness. the bacteria is likely due to colonization, and decided not treat. # hx of hemorrhagic pericarditis: tte was performed last on , which showed trivial pericardial effusion. no futher evaluation was pursued during this admission. the cultures of periciardial fluid returned negative. # esrd on hd: while inpatient she was continued on her outpatient hd regimen (t, th, sat) and renal diet. #. diabetes type 2: glucose was well controlled while inpatient. pt was continued on home regimen of glargine 10 units subcutaneous at bedtime and humalog sliding scale. continue asa daily and reglan prn. . # history of orthostatic hypotension: continued midodrine 10 mg tid. no episodes of orthostatis during this current admission. medications on admission: warfarin 2 mg daily paroxetine hcl 20 mg daily ascorbic acid 500 mg docusate sodium 100 mg albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) q6hrs: midodrine 10 mg tid folic acid 1 mg daily aspirin 81 mg daily senna 8.6 mg :prn bisacodyl 5 mg daily pantoprazole 40 mg po q24h metoclopramide 5 mg q6hours:prn lantus discharge medications: 1. paroxetine hcl 10 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po daily (daily). 2. ascorbic acid 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 3. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 4. midodrine 5 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid (3 times a day). 5. folic acid 1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 6. aspirin 81 mg tablet, chewable sig: one (1) tablet, chewable po daily (daily). 7. pantoprazole 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po q24h (every 24 hours). 8. metoclopramide 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po qid (4 times a day) as needed for nausea. 9. ipratropium bromide 0.02 % solution sig: one (1) inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed. 10. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet sig: 0.5 tablet po bid (2 times a day). 11. b complex-vitamin c-folic acid 1 mg capsule sig: one (1) cap po daily (daily). 12. diphenhydramine hcl 25 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for itching. 13. camphor-menthol 0.5-0.5 % lotion sig: one (1) appl topical tid (3 times a day) as needed. 14. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q12h (every 12 hours) as needed. 15. sevelamer hcl 800 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid w/meals (3 times a day with meals). 16. insulin please continue your home glucose monitoring and insulin regimen. 17. bactrim ds 160-800 mg tablet sig: four (4) tablet po qhd: dose after hd on dialysis days; take 2 tabs immediately after hd, and take the other 2 tabs 6 hours later that day. disp:*48 tablet(s)* refills:*3* 18. mupirocin calcium 2 % ointment sig: one (1) appl nasal (2 times a day) for 3 days. disp:*qs 6* refills:*0* 19. chlorhexidine gluconate 2 % liquid sig: one (1) to infected areas topical daily () as needed for mrsa abscesses: apply to skin daily. disp:*qs for 1 month supply* refills:*3* 20. warfarin 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once daily at 4 pm. 21. warfarin 4 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day: (take total of 9mg qd and titrate to inr ). discharge disposition: extended care facility: -

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: baby girl is a former 26-5/7 week gestational age infant with growth restriction. she was born to a 41 year-old gravida i, para 0, now i woman with a past medical history notable for type 2 diabetes mellitus, treated with insulin, diabetic nephropathy with severe proteinuria, acromegaly secondary to pituitary adenoma and status post transsphenoidal resection, hyperthyroidism with multinodular thyroid goiter, status post methimazole, chronic hypertension treated with labetalol, and nephrolithiasis. mother's prenatal screens included blood group ab positive, antibody negative, hepatitis b surface antigen negative, rpr nonreactive, rubella immune, and group b strep status unknown. this pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth restriction though serial biophysical profiles were 8 out of 8. mother received a course of antenatal betamethasone which was completed 1 day prior to delivery. on the day of delivery she was noted to have absent to reverse end diastolic flow in the fetus. she was transferred to the from due to bed unavailability. at the she underwent cesarean section under epidural and spinal anesthesia. rupture of membranes was at delivery and revealed clear amniotic fluid. there was no labor, no intrapartum fever, and no other evidence of chorioamnionitis. baby girl was vigorous at delivery and cried on transfer to the warmer. she was dried, orally and nasally bulb suctioned, given free flow oxygen and tactile stimulation, then intubated uneventfully on initial attempt. her heart rate was maintained throughout. her apgars were 8 at one minute and 8 at five minutes of life. physical examination on admission: baby girl birth weight was 626 grams (10th percentile), length 32.5 cm (10th to 25th percentile) and head circumference 23.75 cm (10th to 25th percentile). in general she was an active but growth restricted female infant with an examination consistent with 25 to 26 weeks gestational age. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination revealed a large anterior fontanelle, widely splayed sutures, no dysmorphic facial features, intact palate, mucous membranes moist, and eyelids not fused. her chest examination revealed moderate intercostal and subcostal retractions, fair breath sounds bilaterally, and a few scattered coarse crackles. cardiovascular examination showed a regular rate and rhythm with no murmur, normal femoral pulses, and good perfusion. her abdomen was soft, nondistended, without masses, with active bowel sounds and a 3 vessel umbilical cord. her liver was palpable just below her right costal margin but there was no splenomegaly. genitourinary examination revealed normal female genitalia with a patent anus. her skin was normal for gestational age. her spine, limbs, hips and clavicles were normal. her neurologic examination revealed an active responsive infant with symmetric tone that was appropriate for her gestational age. she moved all extremities symmetrically, had an intact gag reflex, and spontaneous eye opening. summary of hospital course by systems: 1. respiratory: baby girl was intubated in the delivery room and received 2 doses of surfactant. she remained ventilated until day of life 8 when she was successfully transitioned to cpap. she required reintubation from cpap on day of life 12 for increasing episodes of apnea, but was able to successfully extubate again to cpap on day of life 40. she required therapy with nasal cannula oxygen from day of life 40 to day of life 76 and has been persistently in room air since day of life 80. she was treated with caffeine for her apnea of prematurity. this was started on day of life 1 and discontinued on day of life 79. she has had no spells of apnea or bradycardia since . she did receive a course of vitamin a for prevention of chronic lung disease. she required minimal nasal cannula oxygen with feedings only until day of life 100. 1. cardiovascular: baby girl had an umbilical arterial and umbilical venous catheters placed shortly after delivery. she was hemodynamically stable and never required pressors. she did have a patent ductus arteriosus which was treated with a single course of indocin on day of life 2 to 3, then shown to be closed by repeat echo. 1. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: baby girl initially had a low dextrostix of 28 which was treated with d10w boluses x3. this since resolved and she had no further glucose issues. she was initially maintained on parenteral nutrition with interlipid and was held n.p.o. through day of life 7. on day of life 8 she was begun on trophic feeds. these were advanced without issue to full feeds by day of life 21, then her caloric density was increased to a maximum of premature enfamil 30 with promod by day of life 28. she did require nasogastric tube feedings entirely until day of life 80, when she attempted her first p.o. feedings. she had quite a lot of difficulty getting to full p.o. feedings, which provoked a feeding team consult. this revealed no oral aversion and baby girl was able to make steady improvement thereafter using a dr. nipple to feed. she was able to maintain herself on full oral feeds by , which was day of life 121. she has intermittently had difficulties with constipation, for which she received prune juice. 1. hematology: baby girl initial hematocrit was 50.4%. secondary to prematurity and necessary blood draws, she experienced episodes of anemia during her hospitalization and required transfusion with packed red blood cells on day of life 4, 12, 30, and 49. when she reached full feedings she was started on iron and vitamin e supplements on day of life 23. her vitamin e was discontinued on day of life 98 but she will go home on 2 mg per kilogram per day of supplemental iron. baby girl also experienced hyperbilirubinemia. she was begun on single phototherapy on day of life 1 and was discontinued on day of life 15. her maximum bilirubin level was 3.8 with a direct component of 0.3. her rebound bilirubin was 3.6 with a direct component of 0.4. 1. infectious disease: baby girl received an initial course of ampicillin and gentamicin for 7 days secondary to severity of clinical course. her blood cultures remained negative. antibiotics were then discontinued but on day of life 12 she had increasing apneic events which prompted a repeat sepsis evaluation. at that time she required reintubation and was restarted on ampicillin and gentamicin. her blood cultures grew gram positive cocci in clusters so she was switched to vancomycin and gentamicin and ultimately received a 10 day course of vancomycin. she was then well until day of life 39 when she had another sepsis evaluation which revealed gram positive cocci that were identified as staph epidermidis. she again received 48 hours of vancomycin and gentamicin but repeat cultures from prior to antibiotics were negative, so she did not require any further antibiotics. she has had no infectious issues since that time. 1. neurologic: baby girl underwent multiple screening head ultrasounds. these were normal on days of life 5, 12, and 30. her day of life 60 head ultrasound revealed small bilateral subependymal cysts, which were not thought to have any clinical significance. 1. sensory: hearing screening was performed with automated auditory brain stem responses and baby girl passed in both ears. baby girl underwent multiple eye examinations because of her risk of retinopathy of prematurity. her initial examination was on and revealed immature retinas in zone 2 bilaterally. she was followed thereafter every 1 to 2 weeks for development of stage 1, zone 2 retinopathy of prematurity. her last examination was on and revealed right eye was stage 1 zone 3 disease in 2 o'clock hours and the left eye that is immature in zone 3. she should be followed up by ophthalmology in 2 to 3 weeks. 1. psychosocial: the social worker has been involved with this family. mrs. can be reached at . this mother has experienced significant difficulties with housing but at the time of discharge stable shelter has been arranged which will be adequate for mother and baby. condition on discharge: good. discharge disposition: to home with mother. name of primary pediatrician: dr. of pediatrics. phone number is 40. care and recommendations: 1. feedings at discharge are enfamil 26 calories per ounce made all by concentration, p.o. ad lib. calories may be weaned at the pediatrician's discretion as her good growth continues. 2. medications at time of discharge include ferrous sulfate supplementation and prune juice. 3. baby girl underwent car seat position screening and passed. 4. she had state screens sent on and . the screening showed a low t4 with a normal tsh so repeat test was sent on . 5. baby girl received immunizations to make her up to date through 4 months prior to discharge. specifically she received doses of pediarix on and , hepatitis b vaccine on , hemophilus influenza vaccine on and , pneumococcal vaccine on and , and her first dose of synagis on . synagis prophylaxis for rsv should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following 3 criteria: 1) born at less at 32 weeks; 2) born between 32 and 35 weeks with 2 of the following: day care during rsv season, smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities, or school age siblings; or 3) with chronic lung disease. influenza influenza is recommended annually in the fall for all infants 6 months of age. before this age (and for the first 24 months of the child's life), immunization against influenza is recommended for household contacts and out of home care-givers. follow up: appointments are scheduled with dr. , her pediatrician, and should be scheduled with pediatric ophthalmology 2 to 3 weeks after discharge. discharge diagnoses: 1. prematurity at 26-5/7 weeks gestation. 2. respiratory distress with progression to chronic lung disease - resolved. 3. rule out sepsis. 4. intrauterine growth restriction. 5. retinopathy of prematurity. , procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours

patient was admitted with hematemesis. gi performed egd showing pre-pyloric ulcers which were cauterized. prior to procedure, patient was intubated. once intubated, patient required pressors. after procedure, was unable to wean pressors. patient remained intubated with cxr showing with bilateral opacities, concerning for aspiration event. patient was started on vancomycin/cefepime. antibiotics were d/c'ed on day 5 after patient clinically and radiologically improved. during his micu stay, he also had a run of rapid afib with rvr with hypotension. patient was electrically cardioverted and remained in sinus rhythm. patient remained intubated for 6 days. he was aggressively diuresed prior to extubation given markedly elevated fluid status. an echo was completed to rule out wall motion abnormalities. medicine floor course () the patient was transferred to the internal medicine service without event. at the time he was saturating 92% on 4l of nasal cannula, thought to be due to his volume overloaded state and component of diastolic heart failure, as well as resolving pna. he was given furosemide 20mg until adequately diuresed; he may require additional diuresis while in rehab but given his stability off of lasix, it was not continued on . his h. pylori antibiody test was positive and he was started on a course of triple therapy, including pantoprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin. he was maintained on metoprolol for rate control and a recent history of atrial fibrillation in the micu. he remained in normal sinus rhythm on the medicine floor. ace was not started in house because bps were stable in low 100s, however would consider starting as an outpt if htn and also eval for need for statin therapy given hf. he was evaluated by psychiatry for an episode of agitation/belligerance which occured while the pt was npo and not receiving his usual psychiatric medications. his condition improved with initiation of home meds. he was seen by speech and swallow, who recommended modified diet due to significant aspiration risk, however after a long discussion with the pt and family, it was decided that the pt was willing to accept the risks associated with taking a full diet. he will remain full code and will be rehospitalized if needed as family and pt are not yet prepared to make him dnh, however given risk of recurrent aspiration over time goals of care will need to be readressed. he was evaluated by physical therapy and a rehabilitation facility was sought. on , pt continued to require oxygen, which is likely due to recurrent aspirations/resolving pna, this should be weaned as tolerated to maintain sats >90%. additionally, foley was inplace on and voiding trials should be attempted at rehab. he will be seen at the sleep center on given concern for sleep apnea during the admission. he will likely require less than 30 days or rehab. medications on admission: tylenol chlorpromazine perphenazine bactrim medications: 1.

cervical spine: evaluation of the cervical spine is limited as only sagittal t1- and t2-weighted sequences could be performed due to patient's inability to cooperate. the cervical alignment and vertebral body height are maintained. the t1 signal of the vertebral bodies is mildly hypointense diffusely. small disc protrusions are present at c5-c6 and c6-c7 without significant spinal canal narrowing. no gross neural foraminal narrowing although this is limited without axial images. the cervical cord is normal in signal and caliber. no intradural or extradural fluid collections are noted. the prevertebral soft tissues are normal. thoracic spine: the thoracic spine vertebral body heights and alignment are maintained. diffuse t1 hypointensity of the vertebral body marrow signal is noted as seen in the cervical spine. multilevel mild degenerative changes are noted with mild indentation on the adjacent end-plates. there is no spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. the thoracic cord is normal in signal and caliber. no epidural or soft tissue fluid collections are noted. the prevertebral soft tissues are normal. lumbar spine: the lumbar spine vertebral body heights are maintained. mild decrease in the t1 signal of the vertebral body marrow is noted similar to that seen in the cervical and thoracic spine. approximately 4 mm of grade 1 retrolisthesis of l4 on l5 is present. l1-l2: no gross spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. l2-l3: a broad-based disc bulge is present asymmetric to the right without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. l3-l4: minimal disc bulge is present without spinal canal narrowing. moderate facet degenerative changes are noted with mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. l4-l5: 4 mm of retrolisthesis of l4 on l5 along with disc protrusion, posterior osteophytes, facet arthrosis and ligamentum flavum infolding produce moderate spinal canal narrowing. mild-to-moderate right neural foraminal narrowing is present. l5-s1: a broad-based right paracentral disc protrusion is present superimposed upon a diffuse disc bulge resulting in mild spinal canal narrowing and moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. mild increase in the discs at l4/5, l5/s1 levels may be normal/ related to superimposed inflammation/infection. correlate with labs. the lower cord and cauda equina are not well assessed due to suboptimal quality of the l spine study. this may be due to technical factors although clumping of nerve roots cannot be excluded in this region. no epidural or intradural fluid collection is identified. the paravertebral soft tissues are grossly normal. no obvious foci of enhancement are noted within the limitations of motion. impression: 1. the study is significantly limited as the patient could not tolerate a complete exam and there is significant motion on multiple sequences. no gross evidence for cord compression or gross evidence of spondylodiscitis. mild increased t2 signal in the l4/5 and l5/s1 levels may be within normal limits or superimposed mild inflammtion/infection. correlate clinically and with labs and if necessary nuclear medicine studies. 2. the cauda equina is not readily discernable from the conus medullaris and is difficult to evaluate which may be technical due to the above limitations although, abnormality of the cauda equina and conus cannot be excluded such as clumping of nerve roots and arachnoiditis. a repeat examination when the patient is able to tolerate would be helpful for further evaluation. 3. diffuse diminished t1 signal of the vertebral body marrow signal is present suggesting such processes as myeloproliferative disorders, chronic anemia and marrow replacement. clinical correlation recommended. 4. multilevel, multifactorial degenerative changes in the lumbar spine from l3-s1; can be assessed better on repeat study. h. ct abdomen indication: 67-year-old male with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, status post tips, presents with bacteremia with failed antibiotics, here for evaluation of source of infection. comparison: . technique: mdct images were acquired from the lung bases through the pubic symphysis following administration of oral contrast, without iv contrast. multiplanar reformations were generated. g. ct abdomen: small bilateral pleural effusions are new since . there is atelectasis and/or scarring in the lung bases. a 12-mm subpleural nodularity (2, 4) is similar to . the heart is top normal in size without pericardial effusion. a large abdominal ascites is new since . patient is status post tips, which is in stable position. the liver is small and nodular in contour. there is splenomegaly to 15 cm. along the splenic hilum is an ovoid structure isoattenuating to the spleen, most likely a large splenule, although this may be confirmed by nuclear study if desired. gallstones are redemonstrated. there is no definite evidence to suggest cholecystitis. the pancreas, adrenal glands, and bilateral kidneys appear within normal limits. a small hiatal hernia is noted. the stomach, duodenum, small and large bowel loops are normal in caliber. the appendix is normal. a duodenal diverticulum may be present. there is no free air. no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. mild atherosclerotic disease is seen in the infrarenal aorta. ct pelvis: the bladder is partially collapsed, containing air along the nondependent portion, likely related to recent instrumentation. a foley catheter is in place. the rectum and sigmoid colon are unremarkable. bone window: multilevel degenerative disease is seen in the lumbar spine, with spondylosis, most pronounced at l2-3, l4-l5 and l5-s1. there is grade 1 anterolisthesis of l5 with respect to l4 and s1. a sclerotic focus within l3 vertebral body is redemonstrated, liekly a bone island. impression: 1. no drainable collection. 2. bilateral small pleural effusions with atelectasis and/or scarring. 3. cirrhosis status post tips. new large abdominal ascites. 4. probable large splenule, which could be confirmed by scintigraphy if desired. 5. mild anasarca, new since . i. indication: 67-year-old man with hypotension, cirrhosis and diffuse abdominal pain, to assess for colitis. comparison: no prior study is available for comparison. technique: outside hospital images done at have been uploaded to the pacs for a second opinion. the visualized lung bases demonstrate linear atelectasis. trace pleural effusions are seen bilaterally. this study is limited without intravenous contrast for assessment of mesenteric ischemia. the liver demonstrates a nodular contour. a tips is in place. multiple gallstones are present in a mildly distended gallbladder, but no other evidence of acute cholecystitis is present. both adrenal glands are normal. both kidneys are unremarkable without evidence of nephrolithiasis or hydronephrosis. the pancreas is unremarkable. a large round lobulated soft tissue mass measuring 5.4 x 4.6 cm is seen in the left upper quadrant, and is not well characterized in this non-contrast study. the adjacent presumed spleen is slightly abnormal in morphology and a well-defined hilum is absent. no stigmata of splenectomy noted. the stomach and small bowel loops are unremarkable without evidence of bowel wall thickening or obstruction. the study is limited for assessment of mesenteric ischemia without intravenous contrast. within this limitation no pneumatosis or portal venous gas is identified. the visualized large bowel is decompressed and unremarkable. incidental note is made of a lipoma of the ileocecal valve. a small focus of gas in the retroperitoneum adjacent to l2-l3 intervertebral disc space, could represent extension of air from the disc degeneration. a small amount of pelvic free fluid is present, of unclear clinical significance. the bladder is empty with a foley catheter in place. the rectum and sigmoid colon are normal. no significant pelvic lymphadenopathy is detected. prostate is unremarkable. osseous structures and soft tissues: multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine are noted with mild grade 1 anterolisthesis of l5 on s1. a rounded sclerotic focus in l3 vertebral body likely represents a bone island. impression: 1. limited study without intravenous contrast. no portal venous gas or pneumatosis is detected to suggest bowel ischemia. 2. cholelithiasis without evidence of acute cholecystitis. 3. left upper quadrant soft tissue mass. unclear etiology. represent a splenule adjacent to large native spleen. no history given or stigmata present of prior splenectomy. nuclear spleen scan can help confrim splenic origin of mass to exclude neoplasm. 4. a trace amount of pelvic free fluid of unclear clinical significance. 5. small amount of gas in the retroperitoneum adjacent to the l3-l4 disc space could represent extension of the gas from the degenerating disc at that level. ct chest with contrast chest ct on history: pleural nodularity right apex and mediastinal adenopathy. technique: multidetector helical scanning of the chest was coordinated with intravenous infusion of 100 cc optiray 250 nonionic iodinated contrast reconstructed as contiguous 5- and 1.25-mm thick axial and 5-mm thick coronal and paramedian sagittal images compared to torso ct . findings: the mediastinum is markedly widened with fat. lymph node enlargement is greatest in the prevascular station where 10 and 13 mm wide nodes were previously 14.6 and 13.5 mm. a 10mm right paraesophageal node, 2:29, was 12 mm on and right lower paratracheal lymph nodes, though numerous are neither pathologically enlarged nor changed. the interval involution in node size probably reflects decreased edema since previous mediastinal edema and mild anasarca in the upper chest on the prior study have also cleared. small nonhemorrhagic bilateral pleural effusions layer posteriorly, slightly smaller today than on . there is mild thickening of parietal pleura on both sides of the chest and the radiodensity of the effusions is higher than one would expect from serous fluid, but since the patient has a history of chronic and recurrent pleural effusion, this need not represent an active exudate such as infection. there is no pericardial effusion. all cardiac are chronically, moderately enlarged. atelectasis at the lung bases is probably due to chronic pleural abnormality. there is no bronchial obstruction. previous mass-like atelectasis at the right apex has cleared. a new region of mild peribronchial infiltration in the anterior segment of the right upper lobe is probably atelectasis. relatively symmetric areas of discrete demineralization in the tips of both scapulae are most likely due to osteoporosis. if patient has known malignancy, a bone scan would be prudent to exclude lytic metastasis. thoracic spine is unremarkable except for a focal sclerotic nodule in t11, a benign finding. the thyroid gland is mildly enlarged diffusely, particularly the right lobe and isthmus, but there is no focal heterogeneity to suggest malignancy. this study is not designed for subdiaphragmatic diagnosis except to note chronic calcified gallstone, interval increase in moderate ascites and a portosystemic shunt in the right lobe of the liver. impression: 1. decreasing reactive mediastinal lymph nodes, probably a reflection of improved fluid status given concurrent resolution of previous mediastinal edema and mild anasarca and smaller chronic, bilateral pleural effusions, responsible for pleural thickening and basal atelectasis. 2. no focal pulmonary lesion of concern. 3. chronic cardiomegaly. chronic calcific cholelithiasis. 4. left pic line ends in the upper svc. 5. mild thyromegaly. no discrete mass. 6. increased moderate ascites. 7. focal lytic lesions in both scapulae, most likely focal osteoporosis. further attention would be indicated only if patient has known malignancy or other indication of osseous malignancy. indication: assess left basilic vein picc line placement. comparison: upright pa portable chest x-ray from . technique: upright ap portable chest x-ray. findings: the tip of the left basilic picc line is in the right atrium. picc line nurse, , was called concerning this finding and we suggested that she withdraw the picc line 5 cm to the distal superior vena cava. interval mediastinal widening and cephalization of lung vasculature suggest of worsening heart failure. bilateral pleural effusions are small, but there is no pulmonary edema.. retrocardiac atelectasis appears unchanged. impression: 1. picc line ends in the right atrium, suggest withdrawing 5 cm. 2. mild chf increased since . indication: left greater than right swelling, rule out dvt. comparison: none. findings: grayscale and doppler evaluation of bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal veins demonstrate normal compressibility, flow, response to augmentation. the peroneal and posterior tibial veins were suboptimally visualized; however, demonstrated normal compressibility on real-time evaluation. impression: no evidence of dvt in bilateral lower extremities. iv. cardiology a. tee: no spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium/left atrial appendage or the body of the right atrium/right atrial appendage. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: no evidence of spontaneous echo contrast or intracardiac thrombus. good left atrial appendage emptying velocities. b. ekg atrial fibrillation with a ventricular rate of 122. st-t wave changes in leads i, ii, iii, avl, avf and v4-v6. compared to the previous tracing of , when the patient was also in atrial fibrillation, there are no longer ventricular premature beats. the rate is faster. the non-specific st-t wave changes are unchanged. the possible flutter waves seen previously in lead v1 are no longer seen on the current tracing. otherwise, no diagnostic interval change. # pending above blood cultures brief hospital course: 67-year-old man with a history of secondary to tachycardia-induced dilated cm, alcoholic cirrhosis s/p tips (), and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (off coumadin) presented from osh with esbl e. coli urosepsis and recurrent bacteremia with possible tips infection. # septic shock: initially presented with altered mental status, elevated creatinine, decreased urine output, and persistent hypotension after aggressive fluid resuscitation requiring three pressors. lactate initially elevated to 11. intubated for altered mental status, acidosis, and aggressive volume rescitation. empirically started on vancomycin, cipro and zosyn. cultures ultimately grew esbl e. coli in both urine and blood. . # respiratory failure/intubation: pt required intubation on admission given respiratory distress. he was ultimately extubated , hd#8. respiratory status has been stable over the last few weeks. . # esbl e.coli bacteremia: presumed to be secondary to tips infection. infectious work-up included tte, mri spine to r/o osteo, multiple paracentesis, and multiple ct scans of abdomen and pelvis. he was started on meropenem on . given recurrent bacteremeia after an initial 14 day course of meropenem another 14 day course given which again resulted in positive blood cxs shortly after the abx was stopped. given presumed tips he will likely need long term suppressive abx therapy. plan is to dc him on meropenem 1g q8 until he follows up in clinic on . his id physicians will determine whether he can be transitioned to an oral abx. at time of discharge cxs had been negative since . . # atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter: pt with long h/o difficult to control afib/aflutter. while septic in micu developed svt with rates in the 160s. he was started on an amiodarone drip with minimal decrease in his rates and without conversion to sinus rhythm. electrophysiology was consulted and ultimately he was cardioverted and started on flecainide 75 mg on . he was cont on digoxin as well.he had rhythm and rate control during the rest of his hospitalization with some limited episodes of atrial fibrillation with rvr to 130s. given multiple procedures, and recurrent hematocrit drops, coumadin was deferred until outpatient colonoscopy could be performed. risk of remaining off coumadin was discussed with pt and family. . # volume overload: pt was 18l positive following fluid resucitation from sepsis. he required slow diuresis with lasix gtt. currently, he is near euvolemia and should restart home regimen of lasix and spironolactone. . # altered mental status: delirium during much of initial hospitalization likely related to illness and encephalopathy. he was restarted home lactuose, resolution of infection, avoidance of narcotics all improved patient's mental status. . # acute renal failure: creatinine 4.0 on presentation. muddy brown casts shown demonstrated atn, either secondary to hypoperfusion given inital low blood pressures vs. direct effect of sepsis. his renal function returned to ~ 0.9 after treatment of his infection and diuresis. . # cirrhosis (meld 13): patient with history of cirrhosis s/p tips for ascites. per patient's hepatologist, cirrhosis is likely secondary to alcohol abuse. denies recent alcohol use. hepatology followed the patient while in house. should continue lactulose, furosemide and spironolactone. . # ascites the patient had interval development of abdominal swelling likely secondary to increased hydrostatic pressure from portal hypertension. he had multiple ruq and two therapeutic and diagnostic paracenteses to rule out sbp. given continuing ascites despite paracentesis, his tips was explored with dopplers and found to have stenosis. ir performed a tips venogram with successful dilitation on . # congestion heart failure, diastolic, chronic: patient with history of dilated cardiomyopathy (presumably secondary to alcohol abuse). cardiology note from suggests ef of 50% up from prior estimates of %. no known coronary disease. echo performed during admission did not show any focal wall motion abnormalities, and did show a normal ef. it is of note, his echo was performed with pressor support, so his ejection fraction may be over-estimated. patient was total body positive in terms of fluid status given his aggressive fluid resuscitation initially. no active signs or symptoms of heart failure at discharge. # thrombocytopenia: unknown baseline. likely chronic or chronic in setting of hepatic disease. he had a platelet nadir at 10 and was given one transfusion of a pack of platelets with improvement in numbers. no episodes of bleeding. dic labs negative. he subsequent had platelets in 60s-100s. # diabetes the patient was placed on ssi in house and lantus 25. due to persistent hypoglycemia in the morning, he was discharged on lantus 12 units. he should also be on a humalog ss. . # diarrhea the patient developed diarrhea on . differential includes medication side effect secondary to lactulose, excessive juice intake with sorbitol, and c. diff with the later being negative three times. no longer having diarrhea at time of discharge. . # hemoccult positive stool with anemia the patient has no gross blood per stool. his stools were dark at times. he had a post-procedural hematocrit drop on to 22.9 and was subsequently transfused. hepatology was consulted and performed an egd on for upper tract causes with egd showing grade i varices, portal gastropathy, and erosions in the stomach/cardia. he was started on a ppi, and his anemia gradually stabilized. he had some variable fluctuations that on repeat were near baseline. outpatient colonoscopy is advised. # loss of bilateral foot function, resolved on , patient reported loss of bilateral foot function with sensory lossin the lower extremities. stat mri showed l2 signal abnormality,no gross evidence for cord compression or gross evidence of spondylodiscitis. following mri he was able to move both le again. he denied any bowel/bladder incontinence or saddle anesthesia. rectal exam was performed with normal tone and enlarged prostate with any nodules or discrete masses. he continues to have adequate extremity movement on discharge. . # left ue swelling given concern for l>r ue swelling, ue dopper was performed to r/o dvt. doppler was negative for dvt on both and . . # joint pain the patient endorses joint pains throughout the hospital. there was a history of early joint pains per his daughter. took prednisone at home, which was held secondary to issues with infection. given that his back pain was variably controlled, bone and gallium scans as above were performed showing no osteomyelitis. he was discharged with oral pain medication. . # insomnia the patient was continued on home trazodone. given habitus and snoring noted during rounds, outpatient sleep study may be indicated given underlying heart disease. would avoid ativan for insomnia given risk of confusion. . # adjustment disorder given multiple medical problems, the patient had a flat affected and endorses passive si that seemed to correlate with his medical condition and progress. social work was consulted for coping in addition to psychiatry. a family meeting was held with subsequent better spirits, expansive affected, and interval denial of si or hi. the patient does have guns given his history as a police officer and an antique knife at home. his daughter was notified that these items should be removed from his home after he returns and stabilizes. . # nutrition the patient had poor po intake on the floor with excessive consumption of juice. nutrition was consulted with suggestion for a feeding tube, but the patient refused. his appetite subsequently improved, and he was given ensure supplementation as well. would continue to monitor. . # left upper tooth disease: patient has severe dental disease with upper left tooth with severe decay. advise outpatient dentist follow-up # incidentals on imaging --large splenule noted on abdominal ct scan. --ct chest with contrast revealed focal lytic lesions in both scapulae, most likely focal osteoporosis. further attention would be indicated only if patient has known malignancy or other indication of osseous malignancy. --mri spine showing

the main and segmental renal arteries of the upper, mid, and lower poles of both kidneys were performed. there is normal arterial waveform with sharp systolic upstroke and mildly decreased diastolic flow. the resistive indices are within the normal range. impression: 1. echogenic liver, consistent with fatty infiltration. however, other forms of liver disease including advanced liver disease or cirrhosis is not excluded. 2. mild splenomegaly. 3. patent hepatic vasculature. 4. normal sized kidneys, without evidence of hydronephrosis or renal artery stenosis. bilateral lower extremity doppler ultrasound: -scale and doppler son of the bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, and calf veins were obtained. there is occlusive thrombus originating at the junction of the left common femoral vein and greater saphenous vein extending inferiorly to involve the entire left superficial femoral and left popliteal veins. some flow is seen within the left calf, though the posterior tibial and peroneal veins were not discretely identified. there is normal flow, compressibility and augmentation of all the right-sided veins. impression: 1. occlusive thrombus extending from the left common femoral vein to the popliteal vein. some flow is seen within the left calf veins, though they were incompletely evaluated. 2. patent venous vasculature in the right lower extremity. brief hospital course: assessment & plan: 67 yo man with history of lle dvt presents with new lle dvt, newly found pe, and rv thrombus, s/p thrombectomy, thrombolysis, and ivf placement, complicated by acute renal failure. . # dvt/ pe/rv thrombus: the patient was transferred from an osh after being found to have a pe and small rv thrombus while on lovenox and coumadin for a femoral and popliteal vein dvt that he had developed on , about a week earlier. it is unclear whether he had already had a pe and rv thrombus or whether this developed while on anticoagulation. there was no precipitating event for the dvt and this is second time he has had a dvt. at , he underwent thrombectomy/lysis of the femoral dvt and had a temporary ivc filter placement. an echo was performed which showed no intervenable clot in the heart and although there was rv dilation, there was no evidence of strain. test for b2-glycoprotein, anti-cardiolipin, , dsdna, c3, c4 were negative. hem-onc was consulted and recommended that if any further hypercoag work-up should be done, it should done as an outpatient. he will likely need life long anti-coagulation therapy given this is his second dvt/pe. he was initially started on heparin gtt. he was initially start on warfarin 5mg daily, but became supratherapeutic, and so warfarin was held and was restarted on 3mg daily. he became suprtherapeutic on 3mg daily and so again warfarin was held and he was then started on 2mg daily at discharge. he will follow up with his pcp for inr check and warfarin dose adjustments. his ivc filter will be removed in weeks (early ) by dr. . he should follow up with his pcp and gi specialist for routine cancer screen and further work up for the cause of his dvt. . # acute renal failure: the patient cr rose from 0.9 to 4.1 over 3 days post thrombectomy and ivc filter placement. nephrology was consulted and belived this was related to cin causing atn. pt did have presence of muddy brown casts. he continued to have good urine output and his cr stablized at 4.1 and slowly dropped throught the remainder of his hospital stay and was discharge with a cr at 3.4. nephrotoxins were avoided. he was instructed to follow up with his dr. , a nephrologist for further managment. his metformin was not restarted and he was started on insulin glargine until his kidney function improved. # diarrhea: the patient presented with watery diarrhea and was emperically placed on norovirus precautions. the diarrhea was self limited and resolved by discharge. . # deranged lfts: the patient presented with elevated lft. he underwent a abdominal ultrasound that revelved a fatty infiltration of his liver. he was instructed to follow up with gi and his pcp for further evaluation and management. . # cad s/p lad stents: he was chest pain free throughout his hospital stay. his home medications of plavix, aspirin, metoprolol, losartan, zocor, and imdur were continued. . # htn - continued metoprolol and losartan . # hld - continued zocor . # dm ii- iss in house, and he was not restarted on metformin at discharge (his home medication). he was started on 10 units of insulin glargine and was instructed to follow up with a new endocrinologist, dr. for better glycemic control. . # gerd: he complained of gerd and diarrhea symptoms, which were felt to be from a viral gastroenteritis or norovirus. his home dose of protonix was continued and a h2 blocker was added. he was instructed to follow up with his gi specialist for further management of his symptoms. given his thrombotic history and his worsening abdominal pain, a repeat egd is likely warranted. . # bph: continue flomax . code: full # contact: next of : , relationship: wife phone: . transitional: 1) hem onc follow up for hypercoag w/u 2) follow up with dr. for ivc filter removal in 1 month 3) repeat egd and follow up with gi for worsening and refractory gerd 4) follow up with nephrology for 5) started on glargine. if renal fxn

admitted to the hospital for a clot in your lower legs. you were also noted to have a small blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolus) and maybe one in the right ventricle of your heart. you had a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis, where the clot in the leg was removed. you had an ivc filter placed, which will prevent clots from moving from your legs to your lungs. this filter can be removed in weeks with dr. . his office will call you at home to arrange for this, please call if you do not hear from his office in 2 weeks. you had an echo performed, which showed no intervenable clot in the heart. . your hospital stay was complicated by acute kidney injury, which was likely in the setting of iv dye administration. this is resolving on discharge. an appt has been made for you with dr. , a nephrologist or kidney doctor . because your kidney function is worse, you were not restarted on your diabetes medicines and will take long acting insulin at least until your kidney function resolves. you will see a new endocrinologist, dr. , in who will help to get better control of your blood sugars at home. you also had mild gerd and diarrhea symptoms, which were felt to be from a viral gastroenteritis or norovirus. . your inr is 3.1 today. please continue to take warfarin 2mg daily and get your inr checked on monday at dr. office along with your other labs. the warfarin clinic there will tell you how much warfarin to take from then on. . medication changes: - decrease warfarin to 2mg daily over the weekend to prevent the blood clot in your leg from getting worse. - stop taking plavix, metformin, glyburide, losartan and lovenox - start taking ranitidine to help your stomach and gerd . followup instructions: name: np location: cardiology address: ,

bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right, compared to the previous study of . extensive new subcutaneous stranding and fluid. while the majority of this could represent anasarca, there is a more focal area of soft tissue density in the medial right thigh (not fully evaluated given the lack of intravenous contrast), which most likely represents hematoma, although a metastatic focus or an area of infection cannot be entirely excluded. 3. diverticulosis without diverticulitis. cxr 2/4/8: 1. left ij terminates at the origin of the svc. 2. moderate congestive heart failure. renal ultrasound 2/5/8: transplant kidney in the left lower quadrant shows normal echogenicity and vascularity. size of the left transplant kidney is 10.3 cm, grossly unchanged. there is no hydronephrosis, calculus, or perinephric fluid collection. doppler and spectral analysis shows normal vascularity and waveform, with resistive indices of 0.7, 0.6 and 0.6, within the range of normal, in the upper, mid, and lower poles. tte : the left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-5 mmhg. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. there is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with akinesis of the basal inferior wall and hypokinesis of the more distal segments. there is mild hypokinesis of the remaining segments (lvef = 40%). the estimated cardiac index is normal (>=2.5l/min/m2). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is moderate aortic valve stenosis (area 1.0cm2). mild to moderate (+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. there is very mild mitral regurgitation. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is high normal. there is a very small anterior pericardial effusion. cxr : worsening of pulmonary edema and bilateral pleural effusions with overall distention in mediastinal vasculature consistent with volume overload. brief hospital course: 1. hypotension/fever initially received broad spectrum antibiotics, stress dose steriods and aggressive fluid rehydration. although he required pressors on admission, he was weaned off after less than 24 hours. given his recent history of c diff and urine cultures positive for pseudomonas, he was treated with vancomycin, zosyn and flagyl empirically. there was no obvious source for infection; blood cultures as well as picc line cultures were negative. during the course of his hospitalization, he devloped worsening pulmonary edema with anuria, making it difficult to support his blood pressure with iv fluids. 2. acute on chronic renal failure unclear etiology for acute worsening, perhaps secondary to volume loss from recent c.diff, possibly secondary to pseudomonal uti, though per renal there is possibilty of chronic pseudomonal colonization of patient's urine. he developed anuria and was dialyzed by renal. after initiating dialysis, the patient expressed his wish not to be put on dialysis. he and his wife, who is his health care proxy, agreed to change goals of care to make him cmo so that he could go home with hospice. 3. pulmonary edema likely multifactorial causes including aggressive fluid replacement, worsening heart failure, acute renal failure and possible pseudomonal uti. echo demonstrated new wall motion abnormality; however, upon review of the echo with cardiology, the feeling was that the basal wall akinesis was in fact present on prior tte. cardiology was consulted and recommended pa catheter placement to ellucidate etiology, catheter was not placed due to comorbidities and change in goals of care. 4. esrd s/p cadaveric renal transplant treated with tacrolimus and prednisone. 5. metastatic prostate cancer. received lupron patient was

or intimal injury. 2. apparent contrast extravasation within superficial right submandibular laceration and post surgical exploration site (3, 167), possibly contiguous with adjacent venous structures. 3. short segment left internal jugular vein non-opacification below the jugular foramen may indicate vascular injury with thrombosis. 4. multiple stab wounds and extensive superficial and deep soft tissue emphysema including air extending within the danger space into the mediastinum. 5. bilateral pneumothorax with chest tubes in place. small right hemothorax. ct chest : 1. no vascular or solid organ injury identified. predominantly simple fluid noted within the abdominal cavity with slightly denser fluid noted within the pelvic cavity. while this may simply reflect third spacing from vigorous fluid resuscitation, occult mesenteric or bowel injury cannot be entirely excluded although. 2. small right and minimal left remaining pneumothoraces with bilateral chest tubes in place of which the right is partially intrafissural and the left has portions completely surrounded by lung likely related to lung collapsed around the tube within the pleural space (less likely the tube may be partially intraparenchymal in location). 3. bilateral lower lobe patchy opacities which may reflect pulmonary contusion or underlying aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia. 4. subcutaneous emphysema within the superior mediastinum, neck, and chest with no large intramuscular hematoma noted. 5. slight hyperenhancement of the bowel mucosa suggestive of underlying hypertension/shock. multiple scattered mesenteric lymph nodes of uncertain significance but presumably reactive. brief hospital course: mr. was evaluated in the emergency room by the trauma team and bilateral chest tubes were placed. he was then emergently taken to the operating room for neck exploration & packing, esophagoscopy and laryngoscopy. his admission hematocrit was 31 and fell to a low of 22. he was resuscitated with multiple units of packed cells and fresh frozen plasma as he had greater than a liter of blood drain from each chest tube. following this initial resuscitation he was taken back to the operating room for reexploration and closure of his wounds. he maintained stable hemodynamics and remained intubated overnight. he was extubated on but had an episode of desaturation while turning and was immediately reintubated. subsequent bronchoscopy revealed multiple bilateral airway mucous plugging and some airway edema. a bal showed only minimal gnr's. he underwent vigorous pulmonary toilet and was diuresed. he was successfully extubated on . following transfer to the surgical floor he continued to make good progress. his hematocrit was stable, his bilateral chest tubes were removed without difficulty and then his ability to cough and deep breath improved. he was gradually able to tolerate a regular diet and he was seen by both physical therapy and occupational therapy to help increase his mobility. the social worker was involved with both he and his family to help with coping during this difficult period. there was also a question of the patient being sexually assaulted by the intruder and for that reason was seen by the center for violence prevention. he underwent testing for hepatitis and hiv and was prophylactically placed on anti virils. he wiil need to follow up with the infectious disease service following discharge for management of these drugs. treatment is anticipated to go over 4 weeks. mr. multiple surgical sites were healing well although his right shoulder wound may need a skin graft in time. he was discharged to his former wife's home with vna follow up for wound care and general assessment. he has multiple follow up appointments in the next few weeks to both keep a close check on his physical and emotional progress. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1. outpatient occupational therapy dx: mulitple stab wounds to neck, shoulder,

the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. please see the full operating room report for full details. in summary, the patient had a coronary artery bypass graft times four with a left internal mammary coronary artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the right posterior descending coronary artery and saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal and saphenous vein graft to the diagonal. he tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. at the time of transfer the patient was a paced at a rate of 80. he had a mean arterial pressure of 64 and cvp of 7 with nitroglycerin at 0.5 micrograms per kilogram per minute and propofol at 10 micrograms per kilogram per minute. the patient did well in the immediate postoperative period. he was weaned from all cardioactive drugs. his neurological was reversed. he was weaned from the ventilator and successfully extubated. on postoperative day one the patient remained hemodynamically stable and he was transferred from the cardiothoracic intensive care unit to far two for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. on postoperative day two the patient's chest tubes and epicardial pacing wires were removed with the assistance of the nursing staff and physical therapy. over the next several days the patient's activity level was increased. on postoperative day it was noted that the patient had a slightly tender abdomen. a kub at that time revealed a fair amount of stool in the bowel. the patient at that point was given a laxative with good results and the abdominal tenderness resolved. on postoperative day six it was decided that the patient was stable and ready for transfer to a

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: anemia major surgical or invasive procedure: ivc filter placement and removal picc placement history of present illness: ms. is a 47 year old female with history of cva with left residual weakness s/p abdominal hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids on who presented to with hct 17 and was transferred to on with a diagnosis of hemolytic anemia. . she had been in her usual state of good health until several months ago, when she was noted during routine physicial to have uterine fibroids. she underwent abdominal hysterectomy on without complication and per patient with minimal blood loss. she denied any report of anemia at post-op follow-ups. she denied any frank vaginal blood loss, melena, back pain, or hematuria during this time. she does state, however, she had upper respiratory illness secondary to sick contacts in her family household. she sought medical attention on where she was noted to have an hematocrit of 17, an mcv of 120, platelet count of 467,000. her white blood cell count was 22. mycoplasma igm serology was positive. mono screen was negative. iron studies were within normal limits, however, the patient's ldh was 670 with a haptoglobin of less than 15. the patient was evaluated by both infectious disease and hematology-oncology services at the outside institution. given the concern of hemolytic anemia and potential myeloproliferative disorder, the patient underwent a bone marrow biopsy, which upon initial evaluation was concerning for multiple myeloma. the patient was initially transfused 1 unit of packed red blood cells, however, developed fevers and rigors in that setting, and therefore it was stopped prematurely. she was given decadron, benadryl, tylenol, and started on solu-medrol prior to transfer to . . upon transfer, she was feeling well, but fatigued. no chest pain, sob, fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting. she does note mild headache. no melena, no hematuria, no vaginal bleeding. ros otherwise unremarkable past medical history: # s/p cva: unclear what work-up done at the time, but was told she had a

subcapsular splenic hematoma with evidence of active extravasation into the hematoma. 2. 4.3-cm hemorrhagic left adnexal cyst. further evaluation with ultrasound is suggested once the patient's acute problems have resolved. . ecg: sinus tachycardia. short p-r interval. no previous tracing available for comparison. . findings: two fluoroscopic spot images show deployment of an ivc filter, with superior tip seen at the midportion of the l2 vertebral body and the inferior tips seen towards the inferior aspect of the l3 vertebral body. . ct impression: 1) stable appearance of the spleen with several segmental hypoperfusing regions, most consistent with infarctions (particularly given the lack of trauma history). some hetergeneity could be from small superimposed hemorrhage, though this is uncertain. 2) arterially hyperenhancing focus in the lateral aspect of the lower pole of the spleen is unchanged from the prior study, arguing against active extravasation. this focus is felt more likely to relate to a hypervascular lesion such as a hemangioma. 3) persisting thrombosed right ovarian vein. 4) approximately 4cm left adnexal cyst, which could be evaluated by pelvic ultrasound on a non-emergent basis. 5) scattered minimal intrahepatic biliary dilitation of unclear etiology and significance. comparison with prior studies if available or further work-up is recommended. 6) large left basilar bleb with associated atelectasis. . le us: impression: no dvt. . ue us: impression: no evidence of deep venous thrombosis in either upper extremity. . cardiac echo: the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale is seen by 2d, color doppler or saline contrast with maneuvers. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). 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 regurgitation. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no pericardial effusion. . ct abd/pelvis: impression: 1. evaluation of the solid organs is limited without iv contrast. however, the appearance of the spleen is stable with several segmental areas of hypoattenuation most likely consistent with infarction. areas of heterogeneity may represent superimposed hemorrhage, however this appearance is not changed. 2. 4.1 cm left adnexal cyst which could be evaluated by pelvic ultrasound on a nonemergent basis. 3. large left basilar bleb and smaller right basilar bleb. 4. persistent expansion of the right ovarian vein likely consistent with known thrombosis. . echo: conclusions: the left atrium is normal in size. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-5mmhg. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined because of the lack of an adequate tricuspid regurgitation jet. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. brief hospital course: ms. is a 47 y/o f hx cva age 18 (unclear circumstances) recently s/p abd hysterectomy, likely hypercoaguable state with pe, splenic infarcts and hemolysis thought to be due to mycoplasma. . # hemolytic anemia: ms. presented from an outside hospital with a hemolytic anemia of unknown origin. mycoplasma infection was considered as the etiology as a family member was recently given that diagnosis and she was mycoplasma igm positive at the outside hospital. her direct antiglobulin test originally was noted to be positive with a weak igg antibody in addition to a positive anti-c3 antibody. given the concern of potential warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the patient was maintained on steroids and received blood transfusions as needed. she continued to hemolyze as evidenced by her elevated ldh and bilirubin. blood cultures were negative for infectious serologies and interestingly at this hospital mycoplasma igm was negative. id was consulted and multiple studies were sent including cmv igg which was positive, cmv igm was negative, blood smear was negative for parasites. hiv test was negative. serial hematocrits, haptoglobin, retic count, and bilirubin were followed and evidence of hemolysis persisted. further work up for non-immune mediated causes of hemolytic anemia included a pnh screen on both peripheral blood and bone marrow biopsy which did not reveal any findings concerning for pnh or consistent with a malignant process. was negative, urine hemosiderin was positive, and donath landsteiner was also negative. rpr was negative. the transfusion medicine team evaluated her coombs test on the 27th and on the 29th, both direct antiglobulin tests were positive originally for anti-igg in addition to anti-c3 which was later only positive for anti-c3 on 2 subsequent tests. interestingly, however, as of and , the patient's direct antiglobulin test were both negative. with regard to the potential causes of this, we feel that it may be secondary to loss of the rh blood antigen in the setting of a brisk reticulocytosis and recent transfused red cells. immature red cells do not display the rh antigen and therefore, detection of the antibody may be hindered. the patient continued to have evidence of hemolysis and therefore in addition to steroids she was treated with rituximab 375 mg/m2, which was given on and on . throughout the hospitalization she required less frequent transfusions, however her hematocrit continued to slowly trend down. the patient was also started on danazol 200 mg daily, which was started prior to discharge. she was discharged on in stable condition. she has been maintained on oral prednisone at 60 mg daily in addition to folic acid and danazol. . # id: as there was concern for mycoplasma infection due to igm positivity at outside hospital in addition to an infected family member, she was started on azithromycin. she completed a 7 day course of azithromycin. on repeat serology at , mycoplasma igm was negative. she remained afebrile throughout the hospitalization. blood cultures were negative. the patient's infectious workup remained negative (hiv, rpr). . # bone marrow biopsy: a bone marrow biopsy was done at the outside hospital prior to transfer. she came to with a questionable diagnosis of multiple myeloma on bone marrow biopsy. however, on review of the pathology here it was felt that the marrow was more consistent with increased production of erythroid precursors consistent with hemolytic anemia and not consistent with multiple myeloma. a spep was checked and was negative. free kappa/lambda ratio was normal. . # bence proteinuria: upep was positive for 11% monoclonal free kappa light chains. spep was negative as above. repeat upep on was negative for light chains. . # pulmonary embolism: on the patient began to complain of chest pain, worse with inspiration. a cta was done which was positive for a nonobstructive segmental pe involving the right middle lobe lateral segment artery. she was started on heparin that evening, however due to the finding of possible splenic bleed on abdominal ct, the heparin was stopped temporarily. at that point, she was transferred to the sicu for possible splenectomy. in the interim an ivc filter was placed to prevent further embolism. lower and upper extremity dopplers were done with no evidence of dvts. echocardiogram was done which showed no asd or pfo. a follow up abdominal ct on showed a stable appearance of the spleen with several segmental hypoperfusing regions, most consistent with infarctions. heparin was restarted. a hypercoagulable workup was ordered given her pe and history of cva of unknown origin. of note, she was positive for anticardiolipin igm (16, repeat 14.5 then 12), negative for igg. the amount of protein s antigen was normal, however the amount of functional protein s was decreased. however, on repeat protein s functionality, while on coumadin, was normal. the remainder of the workup was unremarkable. she remained stable on heparin, satting well with no pleuritic chest pain, and the decision was made to remove ivc filter as she will be on longterm anticoagulation. successful ivc removal on am of . she reported some neck pain post procedure which was relieved with tylenol. heparin was restarted upon her return. coumadin was initiated on . she became therapeutic on coumadin (inr 2.2). after a 24 hour overlap, the heparin gtt was d/c'd. she will continue on coumadin upon discharge. . # splenic infarct: initial ct showed intraparenchymal and subcapsular splenic hematoma with evidence of active extravasation into the hematoma, follow up ct showed several segmental hypoperfusing regions, most consistent with infarctions. based on these results she was restarted on anticoagulation as above. ct was also notable for hemangioma. ebv studies show evidence of prior ebv infection. on she reported additional abdominal pain in right lower quadrant and left shoulder pain. abdominal/ chest ct was done urgently and showed a stable appearance of the spleen, no new bleed. she remained pain free after this episode. . # tachycardia: she was persistently tachycardic while on the floor, hr 120s. ekg showed sinus tachycardia. the rapid heart rate was felt to be an appropriate response from anemia, pe. a beta blocker was started and titrated up to 25mg . on evening, patient noted to be tachycardic to 150s with change in bp medication. she was given beta blocker early with good response. she had just completed a unit of prbc and was given benadryl prior which may have contribued to the tachycardia. a repeat echo was done on to evaluate for right heart strain, pulmonary hypertension. there was no change from the prior echocardiogram. heart rate improved with hematocrit. . # hypertension: she was maintained on amlodipine for bp control. . # fen: she was given a regular diet and her electrolytes were repleted as needed. medications on admission: toprol xl norvasc 5 qd antioxidant black cohash

discharge instructions: you were admitted with a low hematocrit from auto-immune hemolytic anemia. you required several units of blood and steroids to help slow down the process of hemolysis. you were also started on rituxan to help with the hemolysis. your red blood cell count continues to be low so you will need close follow up for this. we believe the cause of your red cell breakdown has to do with an antibody that your body produced likely in reaction to a viral infection. due to the steroids you have been taking, your blood sugars have been high. once you are off of steroids, this problem will likely resolve. you will be started on daily insulin and you should check your finger sticks twice a day. you also had a blood clot to your lung. for this you were started on anticoagulation. you will need to continue taking coumadin. you will follow up with dr. who will check your levels and help you adjust the dose of the coumadin. please take all medications as prescribed. some new medications include: 1. coumadin 4mg daily. you will need to take this every evening and you will need to get your inr checked regularly. 2. prednisone 60mg daily. you will gradually taper the dose of this under the direction of dr. . for this you will need to check the sugar in your blood at least once per day. 3. lantus. you will take this temporarily while you are on steroids. please check your blood sugar at home and record them for your visit with dr. . if the number is below 80, take some juice and crackers. 4. folic acid: this is a very important vitamin that your body needs to make red blood cells. it is important that you take this every day. if you have any fevers, chills, increasing weakness or fatigue, abdominal pain, shoulder pain, shortness of breath, or bleeding please call your doctor or 911 immediately. followup instructions: you have an appointment with dr. on monday at 1pm. you will have labs checked. following this appointment you will go to 7feldberg where you will get rituximab. you will require someone to drive you home following the treatment. procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified

the patient presented for outpatient therapeutic thoracocentesis (done for worsening sob) with removal of 2200 ml r sided fluid, followed by excruciating pain at thoracotomy site. the dyspnea after her procedure was likely a result of reexpansion edema, which was reflected on her chest x-ray. she was initially treated in the intensive care unit with oxygen therapy as well as iv lasix and closely monitored. no infectious etiology was identified. it was decided that thoracentesis was not warranted as her pleural effusion was significantly smaller after the procedure. her respiratory distress rapidly improved with diuresis and she was soon back to baseline (requires home o2). . # mucinous adenocarcinoma of unknown primary: the patient began chemotherapy on with gemzar and cpt-11 for metastatic disease. she did not experience significant nausea during hospitalization, but continued to have diarrhea related to her chemotherapy which was treated with lomotil. . # dvt/pe -

carcinoma of the esophagus. postoperative diagnosis: squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. procedures: minimally invasive esophagogastrectomy, bronchoscopy and esophageal gastroscopy. assistant: , md anesthesia: general. indications: this gentleman has a mid esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has been treated with neoadjuvant treatment. he presents now for surgical resection. preparation: in the operating room, the patient was given general endotracheal anesthetic. appropriate monitoring lines were placed. intravenous antibiotics were given. heparin was given subcutaneously and pneumatic boots were placed. bronchoscopy: we initially performed a bronchoscopy through a single-lumen tube. there was no evidence of tumor involvement of the trachea or of the bronchi. there were no areas of significant airway narrowing or mucous plugging. esophagogastroscopy: the olympus endoscope was then placed into the esophagus and stomach. the stomach was normal. on slow withdrawal, we were able to see that actually the mucosa of the esophagus looked normal and there was actually no evidence of any gross tumor, indicating an excellent response to the neoadjuvant treatment. thoracoscopy: the tube was then changed to a double-lumen tube. the patient was then placed in the left lateral decubitus position with the right side up. there was a flex placed on the table and the right thorax was then prepared with betadine solution and draped in the usual fashion. findings: there was adherence from the neoadjuvant radiation and the fact that we had to wait a bit longer than usual to do this operation. there were a number of anthracotic nodes present. in the subcarinal packet there appeared to be 1 or 2 nodes which were distinctly different which probably had been involved with tumor at one point in time. there was no evidence of metastases in the chest. procedure: four trocars were originally placed. the diaphragm was sutured and pulled downwards through a short stab wound in order to provide maximum exposure. the inferior pulmonary ligament was taken with the harmonic scissors and worked upwards. the lymphatic tissue was taken off of the pericardium and off of the inferior pulmonary vein on the right which was seen easily. the airway was then identified on the bronchus intermedius and we continued to dissect upwards. we were able to dissect the subcarinal packet and find the spur of the carina and then worked down on the right side and dissected tissue off of there, essentially cleaning off the left airway as well. the azygos vein was then divided with the stapler. the esophagus was encircled at that level and we were able to dissect up into the root of the neck and thoracic inlet, staying right on the esophageal musculature itself. this was somewhat sticky from his treatment but we were able to safely work our way all the way up into the neck from below. our penrose drain was then placed at the thoracic inlet. another penrose drain was then placed around the esophagus and we used this to work downwards, dissecting the area off of the left inferior pulmonary vein which was also seen clearly. the pleura was taken off, just below the azygos vein. a small amount of tissue was left in the area of the thoracic duct which was left undisturbed. however, a complete lymph node dissection was performed of the tissue off of the aorta. there were several large vessels which were clipped. the remainder of the dissection was performed with harmonic scissors. we were able to mobilize the entire esophagus down to the level of the diaphragm. a penrose drain was then kept in this area. hemostasis was assured. the #28 chest tube was placed as well as drain. the lung was then re-expanded. the port sites were closed with 0 vicryl to the fascia in the larger port and the skin was closed with a running subcuticular suture of 4-0 monocryl. laparoscopy and neck dissection: the patient was placed in the supine position and the tube was changed to a single- lumen tube. the neck left neck and abdomen were prepared as well as the chest with betadine solution and draped in the usual fashion. the patient was then placed in the stirrups. trocar placement: open technique was used to gain access to the peritoneal cavity just above the umbilicus. the abdomen was insufflated. two #5 ports were placed on the left inferiorly and a #12 dilating port was placed in the left more superiorly. number 12 ports were placed laterally on the right for retraction as well as one in the mid-clavicular line for dissection. findings: there were no obviously involved lymph nodes. the liver was clear of disease. there was a small replaced left hepatic artery. procedure in detail: the omentum was dissected and we were able to divide this, preserving the right gastroepiploic system. we started in the distal stomach and worked our way around the greater curvature and then up and divided all of the short gastrics. the fundus of the stomach was dissected away from the diaphragmatic edge. we then were able to open up the plane of nixon and work our way down distally. we were able to dissect the colon and omentum away from the duodenum. the origin of the gastroepiploic system was seen and was preserved. the duodenum was completely kocherized and we assured ourselves we had excellent mobility by taking the pylorus and moving it up to the level of the hiatus. the gastrohepatic omentum was then opened up to the level of the diaphragm. this involved dividing the small replaced left hepatic artery which seemed to go just to the left lateral segment of the liver. this was done with harmonic scissors. we then were able to dissect the right crus away from the esophagus ventrally and sling the esophagus and associated lymphatic tissue with a penrose drain. we did not dissect up in the mediastinum as we did not wish to enter the chest at this point. the stomach was then lifted up and we were able to find the origin of the left gastric artery. this was divided with the stapler flush with the pancreas. a branch of the left gastric artery was identified right at the level of the left crus and this was clipped with clips. the entire stomach was then mobile except for the area right adherent to the hiatus. we then divided the mesentery on the lesser curvature side, feeding the lower stomach, approximately 8 cm from the pylorus. we then formed our gastric tube with multiple runs of the stapler using thick tissue staples. the width of the tube was approximately 7-8 cm. the gastric conduit was then sutured to the specimen of the lesser curvature using interrupted sutures of 0 dacron. the neck was then opened along the skin creases and platysmal flaps were raised. we then entered just anterior to the sternocleidomastoid. the omohyoid was not divided. we then were able to retract the carotid sheath over laterally and enter the space in front of the spine. we were able to retrieve the penrose drain which had been placed through the previous thoracoscopy. a small amount of tissue was cut away right on the esophagus. we then turned our attention back to the laparoscopy and were able to dissect the distal esophagus and lymphatic tissue out of the hiatus and retrieve the penrose drain which was then placed through the thoracoscopy. thus, the stomach and esophagus were completely freed from the hiatus. both penrose drains were then removed. with dr. in the neck and i in the abdomen, we were able to pass the stomach graft up through the chest into the neck with a lot of redundant stomach which was quite healthy being in the neck. we then opened the esophagus and stomach. the nasogastric tube was placed through the esophageal hole for easier placement through our anastomosis. tacking sutures were placed on the esophagus and stomach. anastomosis was then performed using the stapler, going through both the esophagotomy and gastrotomy. a 60 mm stapler was used. the nasogastric tube was then placed through our anastomosis which was quite large. the redundant esophagus and stomach were then stapled over with stapler using thick tissue load. the specimen was sent off to the pathologist with findings of no evidence of mucosal tumor. the stomach was then sutured to the hiatus with 2 sutures of 0 dacron. hemostasis was assured in the abdomen. all ports were +removed under direct vision without bleeding. closure: the neck was closed with interrupted sutures of 3-0 vicryl to the fascial layers and the skin was closed with a stapling device. - drain was placed through the neck incision through a separate stab wound. the camera port was closed with interrupted sutures of 0-vicryl to the fascia. other fascial defects were not closed as a dilatational system was used. the skin was closed with a running subcuticular suture of 4-0 monocryl. steri-strips, dry sterile dressings were applied. the patient was then sent to the intensive care unit still intubated with plans on extubation shortly after tolerating the procedure well. drains: one #28 chest tube to the right chest. one drain to the right chest. one #24 chest tube to the left chest as it was seen to be violated during our last part of our laparoscopic dissection. complications: none. estimated blood loss: 200 cc. i certify that surgeons of 2 separate specialties were required for this entire procedure which was quite complex. dr. was the lead surgeon in the chest. i was the lead surgeon in the abdomen and we both performed the neck dissection and anastomosis. radiology final report chest (portable ap)

and no growth. the pigtail catheter trended down to 6cc on post procedure day 3. an u/s revealed slight decrease in size of presumed hepatic hematoma. us appearance was consistent with gel-phase hematoma. the pigtail was removed given that it would not drain any further and she was more at risk for infection with the catheter. hepatology was consulted for possible cirrhosis vs. possible hcc. etiology of hepatic masses was unclear. hepatology, differential included hepatocellular carcinoma, adenomas, or hepatomas. likely cirrhosis on exam was concerning for development of possible hcc. history of ocp use was also concerning for adenomas. dr. evaluated her. afp and ca -9 were sent as well as a hepatitis profile and hiv ab. these were pending at time of discharge. she was to follow up with dr. in the outpatient clinic. during this admission she was also seen by psychiatry for evaluation of confusion and husband's concern that she had bipolar disease and had been on celexa for ten years. celexa was resumed. she was amenable to referral for outpatient substance abuse tx. social work followed. at time of discharge, she was alert and oriented. a liver path report demonstrated moderate portal and periportal and mild lobular mixed inflammation (grade 2), consisting of predominantly mononuclear cells with increased eosinophils. mild predominantly microvesicular steatosis without associated hyalin. trichrome stain shows portal fibrosis with rare fibrous septae (stage 2) and sinusoidal fibrosis. iron stain shows no stainable iron. pt evaluated her and felt that she would benefit by home pt to progression off of spc as well as to progress activity tolerance. she was ambulatory and tolerating a regular diet at time of discharge. vital signs were stable. a small opening in her incision required a qd dressing change that was to be done by the vna. medications on admission: celexa 20mg qd discharge medications: 1. metoprolol tartrate 50 mg tablet sig: one (1)

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: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: s/p mvc major surgical or invasive procedure: complex facial and tongue laceration repair history of present illness: 29 yo m s/p mvc as intoxicated driver. pt was driving reportedly approximately 100 mph and rear-ended a tractor-trailer sustaining an impressive facial laceration as well as intraventricular hemorrhage. past medical history: pmh: denies psh: denies social history: + etoh on arrival family history: nc physical exam: per plastic surgery eval: general: intubated and sedated neuro: sedated scalp: no lacerations on scalp. no step-offs. face: left peri-orbital bruising. there is no nasal deviation. generalized swelling of left face. no palpable stepoffs but these are difficult to assess due to marked swelling, no battle sign or bilateral raccoon eyes. 1 cm x 2 cm irregularly shaped wound approximately 1 cm left of left inferior nasal rim, tracking 3-4 cm superioposteriorly. 4 cm laceration from left inferior border of lower lip extending inferolaterally towards cheek. eyes: perrl 3-->2 mm b/l , left periorbital swelling and ecchymosis, no visible corneal injury. left eye recessed in orbit. ears: right ear no hemotympanum. left ear, blood in canal, likely secondary to pooling from facial lacerations. nose: slightly aysmmetrical without palpable stepoffs with no obvious nasal fracture, septum midline, no septal hematoma, no rhinorrhea. dry blood in nares b/l. mouth: intubated. moderate blood in oropharynx. full-thickness laceration of tongue starting at left anterior tip and extending approximately 3 cm posterior towards midline. neurological exam per nsurg eval: gen: pt in c-collar being prepped for rapid sequence intubation for

- - left 2 - - - - pertinent results: cxr : no acute intrathoracic process. ct head 5:29 am: 1. hyperdense material within the left lateral ventricle, concerning for hemorrhage. a hyperdense focus within the subependymal region at the superior margin of the left lateral ventricle may represent a focus of intraparenchymal hemorrhage. a two-hour followup examination is recommended to assess for stability or interval change. 2. numerous facial fractures, better-visualized and described in detail in separate report of concurrent dedicated maxillofacial ct. note added in attending review: several sections are degraded by motion artifact, and were not repeated. there is definite acute hemorrhage within the body and atrium of the left lateral ventricle. the more punctate hyperdense focus (2:19) may also lie within the ventricle or be subependymal; if in the corpus callosum, it may indicate underlying diffuse axonal ("shear")injury. as above, there is no definite evidence of other parenchymal hemorrhage. ct torso : t1 left pedicle fracture, better seen on the ct c-spine examination. otherwise, there is no acute intrathoracic, intraabdominal, or intrapelvic process. ct c-spine : 1. focal exaggeration of the lordosis at c6/7, with symmetric anterior widening of the disc space and slightly increased prevertebral soft tissue prominence in density, is concerning for ligamentous injury at this level. ri is recommended for further evaluation. 2. there is no significant spinal canal stenosis. 3. transverse fracture of the left t1 pedicle. note added in attending review: there is a non-displaced sagittally-riented fracture of the base of the left transverse process of c7. no other ervical spine fracture is seen. given this finding, an associated soft tissue, ncluding ligamentous injury, cannot be excluded. if warranted on clinical grounds, this might be further assessed by mr examination (including edema-sensitive sequences). ct head 12:32 pm: 1. evolving intraventricular hemorrhage in the occipital of the left lateral ventricle. 2. no new hemorrhage. 3. previously-questioned focus of parenchymal hemorrhage no longer definitively visualized, which may have reflected partial volume averaging of intraventricular blood; less likely is a punctate hemorrhagic focus in the left splenium of the corpus callosum. mri c-spine : 1. known left c7 transverse process fracture as seen on recent ct with surrounding edema in the paraspinal muscles, and a small left c6-7 joint effusion without facet dislocation. 2. a sliver of anterior epidural blood/fluid at the c6 and c7 levels, not causing substantial mass effect on the thecal sac or cord. 3. extensive edema within the interspinous ligaments throughout the cervical spine. 4. central disc extrusion at c6-c7 and a much smaller protrusion at c5-c6. at c6-c7, there is slight superior migration of the disc fragment. 5. no evidence of cord signal abnormality. echo : the left atrium is normal in size. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. there is no mitral valve prolapse. no mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. ct head 7:41 am: 1. redistributed left intraventricular hemorrhage with persistent layering of hyperdense blood products within the left occipital . 2. focus of diffuse axonal injury in the body of the corpus callosum. 3. mild effacement of the -white differentiation, which may represent mild cerebral edema. 4. increased soft tissue swelling with subgaleal hematoma over the left cerebral convexity extending inferiorly and anteriorly into the face and periorbital tissues. brief hospital course: on , the patient was intubated for airway protection and admitted to the tsicu on the acs service. on that day, he underwent extensive bedside repair of his facial and tongue lacerations by plastic surgery. because of his tongue swelling, he remained intubated for airway protection. on , he self-extubated and breathed without difficulty. on while sitting up in a chair in the icu he had a speech and swallow evaluation. he was able to safely swallow full liquids and supplemental shakes were recommended along with small bites of pureed foods. as he tolerated room air, he was transferred to the floor on . the plastic surgery service took him to the operating room on for repair of his multiple facial bone fractures. the procedure was uncomplicated and he spent a short time in the pacu before transfer to the floor post-op. his pain was well controlled and his diet was advanced to regular mechanical soft foods. he was seen by pt and he was able to ambulate with them. he was also seen by social work who discussed treatment options for alcohol and drug abuse programs. the social worker gave his family a list of programs that will be suitable for him when he is ready. at time of discharge, his pain was well controlled, he was tolerating a soft mechanical diet and his vital signs remained stable. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1. erythromycin 5 mg/gram

intra-articular extension. mildly displaced right ulnar styloid fracture. 2. comminuted and displaced fracture of the base of the first left metacarpal. : x-ray of left ankle: impression: no fracture or dislocation within the left knee or ankle. : x-ray of the hands: three views left hand: evaluation is somewhat limited by a cast overlying the first digit. again seen is a comminuted intra-articular fracture of the first metacarpal base in unchanged alignment. there is mild diffuse demineralization. no additional fracture is identified. sclerotic foci within the fifth middle phalanx, fourth proximal phalanx, and fifth metacarpal head may represent bone islands. three views right hand: there is no acute fracture or dislocation in the hand. there is background of demineralization and mild degenerative change at the first carpometacarpal joint. known distal radial and ulnar styloid fractures are best evaluated on the same day wrist radiographs. : ekg: sinus rhythm. left anterior fascicular block. no previous tracing available for comparison : chest x-ray: new heterogeneous opacification in the right lower lung without clear evidence of atelectasis is most likely pneumonia. emphysema is moderate, apical predominant. there is no pleural effusion, pneumothorax or pulmonary edema. cardiomediastinal and hilar silhouettes are normal. transvenous right atrial and right ventricular pacer leads follow their expected courses. : cta pelvis: impression: 1. no new significant hematoma identified. there is less blood in the space of retzius but increased blood more cranially within the posterior retroperitoneum, felt to represent redistribution of previous hemorrhage. the amount of hematoma about the fracture sites has decreased from prior exam. 2. probable punctate 3-4 mm pseudoaneurysm adjacent to the bony fractures of the right superior ramus. again, no significant surrounding hematoma identified to suggest active or recent bleeding. equivocal additional punctate 1-2 mm pseudoaneurysm versus prominent vessel within the medial compartmental thigh musculature on the left. 3. interval development of bilateral lower lobe, right greater than left, consolidation with suggestion of early cavitation on the right highly suggestive of an infectious pneumonia, presumably aspiration related. : venous duplex studies: bilateral assessment of both legs was ordered; however, indication for exam gives only symptomatology on the left. duplex and color doppler show no evidence of acute or chronic dvt involving either lower extremity from the common femoral through to the proximal tibial veins. brief hospital course: 53 year old gentleman, driving a motor-cycle, admitted to the trauma intensive care unit for observation after his motor-cycle was struck by a car. upon admission, he was made npo, given intravenous fluids, and underwent radiographic imaging. he sustained fractures to his face, pelvis, and upper extremities, in addition to a loss of consciousness. he also sustained a scrotal laceration. to rule out an extra-peritoneal extravasation, he underwent a retro-urogram which did not show any ureteral disruption or leak. because of the extent of his injuries, he was evaluated by orthopedics, plastics, and neuro-surgery. he did have an episode of chest pain and ruled-out with cardiac enzymes. his cardiac status was closely monitored. he was transferrd to the surgical floor on hod #1. his imaging did show a frontal sinus fracture involving both the anterior and posterior table. he will need to undergo operative repair of the anterior table. the posterior table was non-displaced and will only require monitoring. as a result of the accident, he did sustain a minimally displaced fracture of the inner table of the frontal bone. he has not had any evidence of csf leakage, so this will be monitored. the fractures to his pelvis are non-operative at this time. during his hospitalization, he did have a drop in his hematocrit and required a blood transfusion. his current hematocrit is stable at 25.5. he was reported to have a right lower lobe pneumonia and was treated with a 3 day course of levaquin. his current white blood cell count is 8.6 and he has maintained an oxygen saturation of 94% on room air. during his hospital course, he did report a new onset of left thigh pain. to better evaluate this, he underwent venous doppler studies which did not indicate a deep vein thrombosis. orthopedics was consulted for his right distal radius fracture and left fracture. a splint was placed on this right wrist and thumb spica on left thumb. he was taken to the operating room on for orif right distal radius fracture and repair of left 1st mc fracture. his post operative course was unremarkable. he has been evaluated by both occupational and physical therapy and recommendations made for his post-hospital recovery. folllow-up with cognitive neurology was also advised. he is preparing for discharge to a extended care facility to help him attain his baseline adl and improve his mobility. his vital signs are stable and he is afebrile. he is tolerating a regular diet and voiding without difficulty. he will need to return on for repair of his facial fractures. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule

- requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). discharge instructions: you were admitted to the hospital after you were involved in a motor-cycle accident. you sustained multiple fractures to your face, upper extremity fractures, and pelvis. you were taken to the operating room for repair of right distal radius fracture and left hand fracture. you will be returning to the hospital next week for repair of facial fractures. you are now preparing for discharge to the rehab center with the following instructions: because of the close relationship between the upper back teeth and the sinus, a communication between the sinus and the mouth sometimes results from surgery. this condition has occurred in your case, which often heals slowly and with difficulty. certain precautions will assist healing and we ask that you faithfully follow these instructions: 1. take the prescribed medications as directed. 2. do not forcefully spit for several days. 3. do not smoke for several days. 4. do not use straws for several days. 5. do not forcefully blow your nose for at least 2 weeks, even though your sinus may feel ??????stuffy?????? or there may be some nasal drainage. 6. try not to sneeze; it will cause undesired sinus pressure. if you must sneeze, keep your mouth open. 7. eat only soft foods for several days, always trying to chew on the opposite side of your mouth. 8. do not rinse vigorously for several days. gentle salt water swishes may be used. slight bleeding from the nose is not uncommon for several days after the surgery. please keep our office advised of any changes in your condition, especially if drainage or pain increases. it is important that you keep all future appointments until this condition has resolved. because you had surgery on your hands please follow these instructions: *report any decreased sensation fingers *inability to move fingers *increased pain, swelling in fingers *please report any change in temperature followup instructions: please follow up with plastic surgery for surgery on wednesday;.ph: please follow up with clinic in weeks:please call ( for appointment. please follow up with ophthalmology clinic in weeks.please call for
