Oculomotor Nerve Palsy After Influenza Vaccine In Inflammatory Bowel Disease., Rajesh Essrani Md, Rajesh K Essrani, Shehriyar Mehershahi, Arjun K Lohana, Anuraj Sudhakaran

Department of Medicine

Influenza and pneumococcal vaccines are recommended in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Several neurologic complications have been reported after influenza vaccines, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; however, rarely, oculomotor palsy will occur. We report the case of a 23-year-old male with a past medical history of ulcerative colitis on sulfasalazine who presented to the hospital with a complaint of blurry vision five days after an influenza vaccine. Most of the possible causes of oculomotor nerve palsy, such as stroke, intracranial space-occupying lesions, aneurysms, and infections, were ruled out by history, physical exam, blood work, …

OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to investigate the association between P2Y

BACKGROUND: The association between platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and the risk for ischemic cerebrovascular events remains unclear.

METHODS: Incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of IS were evaluated among patients enrolled in the multicenter, prospective ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy With Drug Eluting Stents) study. By protocol, patients were maintained on aspirin for 2 years and clopidogrel for at least 1 year. Baseline platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and aspirin were assessed by means of VerifyNow point-of-care assay after successful DES implantation.

RESULTS: Among 8,582 patients enrolled, 68 (0.8%) had an …


The Disappearing Murmur: Systolic Anterior Motion Of The Mitral Valve Leaflet In A Non-Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patient, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, James R. Kimber, Hiwot Ayele, Nimra Khan, Tarick Sheikh, Ghulam Akbar Md, Bruce Feldman Do Jun 2018

The Disappearing Murmur: Systolic Anterior Motion Of The Mitral Valve Leaflet In A Non-Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patient, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, James R. Kimber, Hiwot Ayele, Nimra Khan, Tarick Sheikh, Ghulam Akbar Md, Bruce Feldman Do

Department of Medicine

Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve is a well-known phenomenon associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and hemodynamic compromise. This finding may occur in patients with or without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In this report, a patient with no prior medical history presented to the hospital with left-sided chest pain and high-risk echocardiogram (ECG) findings. Left heart catheterization with coronary angiography was negative for coronary artery disease. His initial examination was significant for a systolic murmur due to the underlying SAM, as demonstrated by transthoracic echocardiogram. During his hospitalization, he developed acute heart failure syndrome as a result of …
