Department of Medicine

Background: Myelproliferative disorders (MPDs) including Polycythemia Vera (PCV) and Essential thrombocytosis (ET) are associated with increase in arterial and venous thromboembolic events. Chronic endothelial damage, hyperviscosity and platelet activation are possible mechanistic factors resulting in accelerated atherogenesis and coronary artery disease (CAD). However the differences in prevalence of CAD and traditional risk factors (TRFs) between PCV and ET are unknown. Hence, we aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of CAD in PCV and ET patients using a national registry.

Methods: All patients ≥18 years diagnosed with PCV and ET were identified in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2009-2010 …


Humoral Hypercalcemia Of Twin Pregnancy: Not A Laughing Matter, Areeb Zamir Md, Angela Manglitz Do, Gretchen A. Perilli Md Apr 2016

Humoral Hypercalcemia Of Twin Pregnancy: Not A Laughing Matter, Areeb Zamir Md, Angela Manglitz Do, Gretchen A. Perilli Md

Department of Medicine

Background: Humoral hypercalcemia due to high serum levels of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein (PTHrP) is very rare in the setting of benign disease. PTHrP has a significant impact on developmental stages of life and is expressed in a variety of tissues including placental tissue and mammary glands. Therefore, PTHrP has a large role in the homeostasis of calcium between the mother and fetus.

Clinical case: A 25 year old female presented to the emergency department six days post-partum of spontaneous vaginal delivery of twins at 28 and 4/7 weeks. Her chief complaints included bilateral leg pain, weakness, and difficulty ambulating …

A Case Report Of Ruxolitinib Induced Hypocalcemia: A Stochastic Or Deterministic Effect?, Arsha Sreedhar Md, Ranjit R. Nair Md, Gretchen A. Perilli Md

Department of Medicine

Ruxolitinib is a novel selective JAK 1/2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF) and polycythemia vera (PCV). Hypocalcemia associated with ruxolitinib has not been reported in early trials or in literature.

A 65 year female with history of CKD stage 3, PCV since 1989, papillary thyroid carcinoma, total thyroidectomy and hypoparathyroidism since 1996 presented with complaints of severe myalgia, fatigue, paresthesia and critical hypocalcemia. Her corrected S. Ca 5.8 mg /dl (8.9-10.1 mg/dL) and Ionised Ca 2.9 mg/dl (4.5 - 5.4 mg/dL). Other labs showed stable creatinine 1.5 mg/dL, intact PTH 29 pg/ml(14-72pg/ml) and 25,OH vitamin D level …
