Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones that regulate diverse physiological processes. Synthetic versions of GCs are commonly used to treat inflammatory diseases such as asthma by modulating gene expression to suppressing several inflammatory activities. However, it is estimated that 5-10% of asthmatics are unresponsive to GCs, which may be explained by receptor desensitization and/or the presence of a neutrophilic endotype. One understudied phenomenon of GCs is their ability to induce rapid, non-genomic actions. For example, GCs can acutely modulate calcium concentrations levels, induce smooth muscle relaxation and modulate nitric oxide synthase activity, within minutes and sometimes seconds, which is too rapid …
The Utility Of An Inpatient Consult For Paradoxical Vocal Fold Motion, Pankti P. Acharya, Jason Cohn
The Utility Of An Inpatient Consult For Paradoxical Vocal Fold Motion, Pankti P. Acharya, Jason Cohn

Paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM) is vocal fold adduction during inspiration
Patients often present with dyspnea, throat tightness, and cough
Common risk factors that predispose patients to PVFM include gastroesophageal reflux disease, psychiatric disease, chronic cough, airway irritation, and female gender
This study was conducted to identify possible risk factors and associated conditions for PVFM; additionally, a novel scoring system was developed to aid in diagnosis of PVFM

Cpap And Epistaxis: Is There A Connection In Osa Patients?, Aesha Patel

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has become a standard form of therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). There are reports of patients suffering from episodes of epistaxis within the initial few weeks of starting CPAP therapy, believed to be due to the high flow rate of air during use, nasal CPAP purportedly dries the nasal mucosa, leading to an increased risk of scabbing, ulceration, and ultimately epistaxis. This study seeks to analyze whether epistaxis is common in patients following CPAP initiation and then compare this rate of epistaxis amongst OSA patients that received upper airway stimulation (UAS) …

Syncope is a clinical syndrome that occurs due to a period of inadequate cerebral blood flow that cause a transient loss of consciousness that usually resolves within 8-10 seconds) [1] Our case demonstrates a 56-year-old female who experienced syncope for the first time. The patient had an unwitnessed fall and subsequently had imaging studies performed. A discovery of a Sub-Massive Pulmonary embolism was revealed.

Acute sinusitis in the pediatric population is a common presentation in the emergency department. Most cases are viral and can be managed conservatively and will resolve spontaneously in 7-10 days. Even in cases of bacterial sinusitis, patients can typically be discharged with oral antibiotics and close follow up with the pediatrician.
There is however a small subset of patients who will develop a rare lethal complication, an intracranial empyema. While the incidence in the developed world has decreased as antibiotics become more available, it is still estimated to occur in up to 5% of severe cases requiring hospitalization (1) . …

Case Report: How A Vallecular Cyst Could Have Become An Airway Emergency, Adam Kandil, Robin Lahr, Andrew Caravello

Vallecular cysts, also known as epiglottic mucous retention cysts are known to be generally self-limiting laryngeal lesion. They can however also be associated with airway obstruction, and dysphagia in infants. In adults, they are usually asymptomatic, and usually incidentally diagnosed. At times they are diagnosed during rapid sequence intubation, as they may contribute to endotracheal intubation difficulty. Moreover, there is question as to the correlation between vallecular cysts and the incidence of acute epiglottitis, as a vallecular cyst may become infected and cause a localized expansion of inflammation and infection. This expansion from the vallecula progresses to epiglottis.
