A Case Report Of Ruxolitinib Induced Hypocalcemia: A Stochastic Or Deterministic Effect?, Arsha Sreedhar Md, Ranjit R. Nair Md, Gretchen A. Perilli Md Apr 2016

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 …

Patel Md, David A. Cox Md

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 …


Role Of Prophylactic Magnesium Supplementation In Prevention Of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation In Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Meta-Analysis Of 23 Randomized Controlled Trials, Jalaj Garg Md, Rahul Chaudhary Md, Parasuram Krishnamoorthy Md, Neeraj Shah Md, Babak Bozorgnia Md Apr 2016

Role Of Prophylactic Magnesium Supplementation In Prevention Of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation In Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Meta-Analysis Of 23 Randomized Controlled Trials, Jalaj Garg Md, Rahul Chaudhary Md, Parasuram Krishnamoorthy Md, Neeraj Shah Md, Babak Bozorgnia Md

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 …


Predictors Of Coronary Artery Disease In Patients With Polycythemia Vera And Essential Thrombocytosis: Results From The National Inpatient Sample 2009-10., Parasuram Krishnamoorthy Md, Varun Mittal, Jalaj Garg Md, Neeraj Shah Md, Nainesh C. Patel Md Apr 2016

Predictors Of Coronary Artery Disease In Patients With Polycythemia Vera And Essential Thrombocytosis: Results From The National Inpatient Sample 2009-10., Parasuram Krishnamoorthy Md, Varun Mittal, Jalaj Garg Md, Neeraj Shah Md, Nainesh C. Patel Md

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 …
