Carey Md, Tyler Adams Bs, Amy Wier, Manuel F. Colón Bs, Matthew D. Cook Do, Robert D. Cannon Do, Kenneth D. Katz Md, Marna R. Greenberg Do, Mph, Facep

Department of Emergency Medicine

PURPOSE: Adults aged >65 years are susceptible to intentional and unintentional poisoning, with contributing factors that include polypharmacy, comorbidity, susceptibility to medication error, and gaps in research. Although toxicologists are often tasked with managing and preventing poisoning among older adults, little is known about sex differences in these poisonings. The aim of this study was to review sex differences in poisonings among older adults managed at the bedside by medical toxicologists.

METHODS: All case subjects aged >65 years in the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) registry between January 2010 and December 2016 were reviewed. Data included reasons for exposure and consultation, …

OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to investigate the association between P2Y

BACKGROUND: The association between platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and the risk for ischemic cerebrovascular events remains unclear.

METHODS: Incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of IS were evaluated among patients enrolled in the multicenter, prospective ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy With Drug Eluting Stents) study. By protocol, patients were maintained on aspirin for 2 years and clopidogrel for at least 1 year. Baseline platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and aspirin were assessed by means of VerifyNow point-of-care assay after successful DES implantation.

RESULTS: Among 8,582 patients enrolled, 68 (0.8%) had an …

The Disappearing Murmur: Systolic Anterior Motion Of The Mitral Valve Leaflet In A Non-Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patient, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, James R. Kimber, Hiwot Ayele, Nimra Khan, Tarick Sheikh, Ghulam Akbar Md, Bruce Feldman Do

Department of Medicine

Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve is a well-known phenomenon associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and hemodynamic compromise. This finding may occur in patients with or without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In this report, a patient with no prior medical history presented to the hospital with left-sided chest pain and high-risk echocardiogram (ECG) findings. Left heart catheterization with coronary angiography was negative for coronary artery disease. His initial examination was significant for a systolic murmur due to the underlying SAM, as demonstrated by transthoracic echocardiogram. During his hospitalization, he developed acute heart failure syndrome as a result of …

Methods: Secondary analyses of qualitative and quantitative data from completed studies conducted in Australia, Canada and USA. Case studies and matrices were used, along with face-to-face group retreats, using a Collaborative …

Ten Lifestyle Modification Approaches To Treat Atrial Fibrillation, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, Lohit Garg Md, Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, John Day

Department of Medicine

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia affecting three million people in the United States (US). Across different races in the US, the incidence of other races was comparable to that of Caucasian population. This points towards the importance of certain lifestyle modifications that can help prevent and treat this disorder. This article discusses 10 such factors. Smoking has been linked to AF, with almost 36% risk reduction if quit. Hypertension has 56% increased risk of atrial fibrillation in which the role of lifestyle changes is well known. Similarly, alcohol-induced atrial fibrillation has 10% increased risk of atrial fibrillation. …
