Gonococcal Osteomyelitis In A Pediatric Patient With Disseminated Gonococcal Infection: Implications For Antimicrobial Management, W. Liakos, B. Schaffler, S. Rajan, S. H. Hagmann

Journal Articles

© 2020 The Authors We report a case of a female teenager with gonococcal septic arthritis of the right shoulder that also caused osteomyelitis of the humeral head. Infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a frequently diagnosed sexually transmitted infection in the sexually active teenage population and disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is the most common systemic manifestation of acute gonorrhea. DGI commonly involves acute arthritis, tenosynovitis and dermatitis with less common complications of endocarditis, hepatitis and meningitis. In contrast, osteomyelitis has only rarely been reported as a result of gonococcal infection. Clinicians need to be aware of this unusual manifestation of …

Outcomes variables for research on sepsis have centered on mortality and changes in the host immune response. However, a recent task force (Sepsis-3) revised the definition of sepsis to "life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection." This new definition suggests that human studies should focus on organ dysfunction. The appropriate criteria for organ dysfunction in either human sepsis or animal models are, however, poorly delineated, limiting the potential for translation. Further, in many systems, the difference between "dysfunction" and "injury" may not be clear. In this review, we identify criteria for organ dysfunction and/or injury in …

The Course Of Sars-Cov2 Infection Was Not Severe In A Crohn's Patient Who Administered Maintenance Anti-Tnf Therapy Overlapping The Early Pre-Symptomatic Period Of Infection., F. Okeke, A. Mone, A. Swaminath

Journal Articles

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) population, which may require treatment with immunosuppressive medications, may be uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. In fact, there is some evidence these medications may inhibit the cytokine storm that is theorized to cause a rapid decline seen in COVID-19. In addition, the digestive symptoms of COVID-19 can be difficult to distinguish from the activation of IBD. We present an interesting case of a Crohn's patient inadvertently administering anti-cytokine therapy during the pre-symptomatic period of COVID-19 infection. Immune suppression during early infection with SARS-COV2 risks a poor immune response to the virus and could theoretically result …

Atypical Presentation Of Panhypopituitarism., H. K. Rai, G. John, M. Anton Jan 2020

Atypical Presentation Of Panhypopituitarism., H. K. Rai, G. John, M. Anton

Journal Articles

Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder. Hypopituitarism can present as a deficiency of individual anterior pituitary hormones (e.g., adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, growth hormone) or posterior pituitary hormones (e.g., oxytocin, vasopressin) or as the deficiency of all these pituitary hormones, also known as panhypopituitarism. Here, we discuss a 59-year-old man who presented with two episodes of unwitnessed syncope after an episode of vomiting. On admission, the patient was hypotensive to 88/54 mmHg, afebrile, and with a leukocyte count of 21.43 K/µL (reference range: 3.80 to 10.50 K/µL). CT scan of the head revealed a hyperdensity in …

Erysipelothrix Rhusiopathiae Endocarditis, T. Wang, D. Khan, N. Mobarakai

Journal Articles

© 2020 Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a zoonotic gram positive coccobacillus. It is rarely found in humans as an occupational pathogen that mainly infects animal handlers. There are three forms of human infection: localized erysipeloid, diffuse cutaneous form and lastly, bacteremia that could progress to infective endocarditis. We present a case of a 59-year-old male who was found to have E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia that was diagnosed as aortic valve endocarditis with severe aortic regurgitation.

Roth Net-Assisted Endoscopic-Guided Manometry Catheter Placement., D. Gurala, J. Philipose, A. D. Polavarapu, Y. El Douaihy, S. M. Mulrooney

Journal Articles

High-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) has become the gold standard to diagnose esophageal motility disorders. Usually, this procedure is performed by introducing the catheter, which has pressure sensors, into the esophagus and proximal stomach via the nares. Repeated coiling of the catheter and inability to pass through the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) are common challenges encountered. Endoscopy-guided placement of the catheter can overcome these difficulties. However, sometimes even with the use of endoscopy, it is difficult to advance catheter due to anatomical variants. The extreme fragility of the catheter and sensors and the high cost of this reusable device precludes the use …

Application Of Multimodal Neuromonitoring In Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Clippings: Review Of Two Cases., J. W. Silverstein, A. Rosenthal, K. Kwan, K. Wagner, J. A. Ellis Jan 2020

Application Of Multimodal Neuromonitoring In Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Clippings: Review Of Two Cases., J. W. Silverstein, A. Rosenthal, K. Kwan, K. Wagner, J. A. Ellis

Journal Articles

Neurophysiological monitoring is advocated for the prevention of neurological sequelae secondary to the clipping of an aneurysm involved in posterior circulation. Unfortunately, there is a paucity in the literature regarding what neurophysiological monitoring techniques are best employed. The authors here present two cases where multimodal neuromonitoring techniques were used during the clippings of two posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms. There is increased neurologic morbidity associated with PICA aneurysm clippings, as a number of eloquent structures live in close proximity to the PICA. The application of a multimodal neuromonitoring paradigm may reduce a poor neurological outcome.

N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Transvenous Arteriovenous Malformation Embolization With Arterial Balloon Assistance: Defining Parameters For A Transvenous Approach As A Potential Upfront Treatment Option In Managing Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations., C. Higbie, D. Khatri, B. Ligas, R. Ortiz, D. Langer

Journal Articles

Complete obliteration of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using a transvenous approach as the primary and stand-alone treatment modality has been increasingly considered as a useful endovascular approach in the treatment of AVMs. AVMs are typically treated with microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, endovascular embolization, or some combination of the three methods. Preservation of the draining vein is a key requisite common to all treatment modalities. Transvenous embolization (TVE) is conventionally not recommended as a stand-alone treatment for the vast majority of AVMs and has been thought to be best indicated when traditional approaches are considered less safe and when specific evaluation criteria are …

© 2020 Published by Scientific Scholar on behalf of Surgical Neurology International. Background: Fusiform aneurysms of the distal superior cerebellar artery are rare and challenging to treat. Due to the rarity of these lesions, there is little consensus regarding their management. Treatment options have traditionally included parent artery sacrifice with either an endovascular approach or microsurgical clipping. Given the small diameter of the superior cerebellar artery, flow diversion has not been typically considered as a viable treatment option for these aneurysms. Case Description: A 67-year-old female presented complaining of severe sudden onset headache. Noncontrast head CT demonstrated no intracranial hemorrhage. …
