Presence And Implications Of Sarcopenia In Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis., Gregory Habig, Christa Smaltz, Dina Halegoua-De Marzio

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Sarcopenia, defined as the loss of muscle strength, mass, and functionality, confers a poor prognosis in the setting of cirrhosis. Given its clinical significance, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading to cirrhosis, sarcopenia, and their co-occurrence may improve these patients' outcomes. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) shares many of the same etiologies as sarcopenia, including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and ectopic adipocyte deposition, which are hallmarks of metabolic syndrome (MS). NASH thus serves as a prime candidate for further exploration into the underlying pathophysiology and relationship between these three conditions. In this review, we discuss the natural history of NASH …

Introduction Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among older adults according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Falls Efficacy Scale (FES) and Vulnerable Elder Survey (VES-13) are validated screening tools used to assess concern of falling, health deterioration and functional decline. We set out to determine if the FES or VES-13 could serve as a predictor of falls among older adults in the Emergency Department (ED) setting. Methods This prospective pilot cohort study was conducted at a Level 1 Trauma Center. ED patients aged ≥65 were eligible for the study if they had a …

Brucella Melitensis-Induced Transaminitis., Rajesh Essrani Md, Anastasia Shnitser Md Mar 2021

Brucella Melitensis-Induced Transaminitis., Rajesh Essrani Md, Anastasia Shnitser Md

Department of Medicine

Brucellosis is infrequently reported in the United States and is mostly an occupational hazard among workers engaged in livestock raising and processing. It is a systemic infectious disease and can involve the liver in varying ways, ranging from benign subclinical increases in serum aminotransferase levels to ominous chronic suppurative disease. It is endemic in many countries, primarily those of the Mediterranean region. It is usually treated with antibiotics. We present a case of a 37-year-old female who developed

Development And Validation Of A Prediction Model For Stroke, Cardiac, And Mortality Risk After Non-Cardiac Surgery., Sang H Woo, Gregary D. Marhefka, Scott W. Cowan, Md, Lily Ackermann, Md

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Background: Commonly used cardiovascular risk calculators do not provide risk estimation of stroke, a major postoperative complication with high morbidity and mortality. We developed and validated an accurate cardiovascular risk prediction tool for stroke, major cardiac complications (myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest), and mortality after non-cardiac surgery.

Methods and Results: This retrospective cohort study included 1 165 750 surgical patients over a 4-year period (2007-2010) from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database. A predictive model was developed with the following preoperative conditions: age, history of coronary artery disease, history of stroke, emergency surgery, preoperative serum …

Ventricular Septal Aneurysm Mimicking Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass In A Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect., Nikhil A. Mehta Md, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, Sara Godil Md, Ghulam Akbar Md, Raman Dusaj Md, Neeraj Shah Nov 2020

Ventricular Septal Aneurysm Mimicking Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass In A Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect., Nikhil A. Mehta Md, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, Sara Godil Md, Ghulam Akbar Md, Raman Dusaj Md, Neeraj Shah

Cardiology Division

A 50-year-old man presented with an episode of chest pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed the presence of a large ventricular septal aneurysm partially closing a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, prolapsing into the right ventricular outflow tract, and mimicking a mass. We illustrate the diagnostic approach and management of such ventricular septal aneurysms. (
