Post-Extubation Stridor Complicating Covid-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Case Series., Joseph Moran Do, Sara Godil Md, Breanna S. Goldner Do, Kareem Godil Md, Jonaid Aslam Md
Department of Medicine
Post-extubation stridor is a known complication of mechanical ventilation that affects a substantial number of all critical care patients and leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Common risk factors for the development of post-extubation stridor include female gender, older age, and prolonged length of mechanical ventilation. There may be an increased incidence of post-extubation stridor in patients who require mechanical ventilation to manage the respiratory complications of COVID-19. In this case series, we analyzed nine patients from across our institution who were intubated to manage acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19 and subsequently developed post-extubation stridor. The patients …

The treatment of metastatic breast cancer has undergone significant changes in recent years. New classes of medications have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in clinical practice to extend progression-free survival and overall survival along with increasing response rate. Here, we present a case report of pneumonitis as a rare side effect of palbociclib in the treatment of metastatic hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ERBB2-) breast cancer in addition to endocrine therapy. We also review the literature for other reports of pneumonitis during treatment with palbociclib. Through this case report and review …

Pembrolizumab: An Immunotherapeutic Agent Causing Endocrinopathies., Abdul Chaudry, Misbat Chaudry Md, Jonaid Aslam Md
Department of Medicine
Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor (programmed cell death 1) approved for use in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Pembrolizumab has shown remarkable results in regression of the size of tumors in NSCLC and has shown survival advantage. However, immune-related adverse effects are a serious negative outcome of therapy. The number of immune-related adverse effects with pembrolizumab has increased significantly over the recent past. We present a case of type 1 diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroiditis with pembrolizumab treatment for NSCLC.
Unique Case Of Gastroenteritis Presenting As Pneumatosis Intestinalis With Emphysematous Gastritis And Portal Vein Gas: Do Not Take Gastroenteritis Lightly., Asif Mehmood, Rajesh Essrani Md, Swetha Parvataneni, Umair Iqbal
Unique Case Of Gastroenteritis Presenting As Pneumatosis Intestinalis With Emphysematous Gastritis And Portal Vein Gas: Do Not Take Gastroenteritis Lightly., Asif Mehmood, Rajesh Essrani Md, Swetha Parvataneni, Umair Iqbal
Department of Medicine
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) consists of multiple, thin, gas-filled cysts in the wall of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is an uncommon entity that can involve any gastrointestinal site from the stomach to the rectum. Isolated stomach involvement is rare. PI can represent a broad spectrum of diseases with variable prognoses. We present the case of a patient who was admitted with gastroenteritis-like symptoms. He remained hemodynamically stable, and on further imaging with contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, air was found in the portal vein and gastric wall, with minimal thickening of the proximal small bowel concerning for …

Department of Medicine
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic presenting with various cardiovascular manifestations. Although Brugada pattern ST-segment elevation (STE) is well described in patients admitted with febrile illness, the implication of recognizing this abnormality in patients with COVID-19 is critical in providing appropriate care for the patient and also reducing the exposure of healthcare professionals to the risk of infection. We report a patient with COVID-19 infection presenting with STE due to fever-related unmasking of Brugada pattern, who was managed conservatively.
Change In Patient Meld-Na And Albumin Level From The Time Of Celiac Disease Diagnosis To Six Months Later After Gluten-Free Diet., Rajesh Essrani Md, Andrea Berger
Change In Patient Meld-Na And Albumin Level From The Time Of Celiac Disease Diagnosis To Six Months Later After Gluten-Free Diet., Rajesh Essrani Md, Andrea Berger
Department of Medicine
Background & aims Celiac disease (CD) is a multisystem disorder triggered by dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals that may affect any organ system, including the liver. We evaluated a change in patient model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)-Na and albumin level from the time of celiac disease diagnosis to six months later, after implementing a gluten-free diet. Methods A retrospective study was conducted from January 1, 2006, to June 30, 2018. CD was diagnosed based on celiac antibodies and/or histopathological data. MELD-Na and albumin were calculated at the start of the gluten-free diet and six months later. Additional variables …

Most cases of pancreatitis are mild and self-limited. On the other hand, a few patients with pancreatitis may develop vascular complications. Splenic vein thrombosis is the most common vascular complication of acute pancreatitis. Isolated superior mesenteric vein thrombosis is rare and can lead to gut ischemia and necrosis if not timely diagnosed and managed. We report the case of a 40-year-old patient who presented to the hospital with abdominal pain due to acute pancreatitis, leading to superior mesenteric vein thrombosis, which was timely diagnosed and treated with a good outcome.

Complications Related To Esophageal Stent (Boston Scientific Wallflex Vs. Merit Medical Endotek) Use In Benign And Malignant Conditions., Rajesh Essrani, Hiral N. Shah Md, Shashin Shah Md, Jennifer E. Macfarlan Mph
Department of Medicine
Background In our institutions, there are two types of stents used: the Boston Scientific Wallflex (Marlborough, Massachusetts) and Merit Medical Endotek (South Jordan, Utah). So we performed this retrospective study to compare complication rates in various esophageal disorders to improve our quality of care. Methods Charts were reviewed to capture gender, indications of stent placement, stent length/diameter, age of the patient at the time of stent placement, length of hospital stay, physicians performing a procedure, and complications within 90 days of stent placement. Results A total of 67 patients (71.6% male) underwent stent placement (WallFlex 49.3% and Merit 50.8%) for …
