Background
The relationships between underweight status, platelet reactivity, and clinical outcomes after PCI with DES are not well understood.
Methods
ADAPT-DES was a prospective, multicenter study of 8582 pts treated with aspirin and clopidogrel in whom routine measurement of P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) by VerifyNow testing was performed following successful DES implantation. Pts were classified according to the following body mass index (BMI) groups: Underweight (BMI/m2), normal weight (20 kg/m2 ≤ BMI/m2), overweight (25 kg/m2 ≤ BMI/m2), and obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2).
Results
Underweight pts were more often female, smokers, had higher rates of peripheral arterial disease and renal insufficiency, …

Department of Medicine
Background
Several randomized clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of prophylactic magnesium (Mg) supplementation in prevention of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing cardiac artery bypass grafting (CABG). We aim to determine the role of prophylactic Mg in 3 settings (intraoperative, postoperative, intraoperative + postoperative) in prevention of POAF.
Methods
A systemic literature search was performed (until October 20, 2015) using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify trials evaluating Mg supplementation post CABG. Primary outcome of our study was reduction in the POAF. For each study, the incidence of atrial fibrillation …

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
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 …

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 …

Department of Medicine
Background
Occurrence of conduction abnormalities requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) is a serious complication after both transcatheter (TAVR) & surgical (SAVR) aortic valve replacement.
Methods
Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried from August 2011 to December 2012 using ICD-9 codes 35.05 & 35.06 for TAVR and 35.21 & 35.22 for SAVR. Patients undergoing other valve surgeries, bypass grafting & those with prior pacemakers or defibrillators were excluded. Propensity matching was performed (1:1) to match TAVR & SAVR cohorts on age, gender, right bundle branch block (RBBB), first degree AV block, bifascicular or trifascicular block, hospital region, teaching hospital status & hospital …
