© 2019, The Author(s). Cognitive impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia (SCH). In addition to the toxic effect of Bilirubin (BIL), it has antioxidant properties that were associated with the psychopathology and cognitive impairment of psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation of serum total BIL (TBIL) concentration with cognitive impairment in SCH patients. We recruited 34 SCH patients and 119 healthy controls (HCs) in this case-control design. Cognition was assessed using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Serum TBIL concentration was measured using the immunoturbidimetric method. Serum TBIL concentration …

Standardized Video Interviews Do Not Correlate To United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 And Step 2 Scores, D. J. Egan, A. Husain, M. C. Bond, W. Caputo, L. Cygan, J. Van Dermark, J. M. Shoenberger, I. Li, B. Ardolic, M. Weizberg, +7 Additional Authors

© 2019 Egan et al. Introduction: In 2017, the Standardized Video Interview (SVI) was required for applicants to emergency medicine (EM). The SVI contains six questions highlighting professionalism and interpersonal communication skills. The responses were scored (6-30). As it is a new metric, no information is available on correlation between SVI scores and other application data. This study was to determine if a correlation exists between applicants' United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and SVI scores. We hypothesized that numeric USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores would not correlate with the SVI score, but that performance …

Implementation And Validation Of The 2013 Caprini Score For Risk Stratification Of Arthroplasty Patients In The Prevention Of Venous Thrombosis, E. S. Krauss, A. Segal, M. A. Cronin, N. Dengler, M. L. Lesser, S. Ahn, J. A. Caprini

Journal Articles

© The Author(s) 2019. Appropriate chemoprophylaxis choice following arthroplasty requires accurate patient risk assessment. We compared the results of our prospective department protocol to the Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) retrospectively in this study group. Our goal was to determine whether the department protocol or the Caprini score would identify venous thromboembolism (VTE) events after total joint replacement. A secondary purpose was to validate the 2013 Caprini RAM in joint arthroplasty and determine whether patients with VTE would be accurately identified using the Caprini score. A total of 1078 patients met inclusion criteria. A Caprini score of 10 or greater …

Systemic P-Anca Vasculitis With Fatal Outcome, Arising In The Setting Of Methimazole Use., S. Hacking, N. N. Uppal, N. Khan, M. Ionescu, V. Bijol

Journal Articles

Here we report a fatal case of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) due to methimazole use in a 64-year-old woman. She was initially hospitalized for abdominal pain and possible colitis, and subsequently developed hematuria, renal failure, and hemoptysis. The serologic work-up revealed positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) and perinuclear-antineutrophilic cytoplasm antibodies (p-ANCA), with positive antimyeloperoxidase. Three weeks following admission, the patient was found to be pulseless, and expired. At autopsy, microscopic review included widespread transmural necrotizing vasculitis and crescentic glomerulonephritis in the kidney, and diffuse pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage; focal coronary artery intimal vasculitis and necrotizing pericarditis were also noted. Several …

Ampa Receptor Glua2 Subunit Defects Are A Cause Of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, V. Salpietro, C. L. Dixon, H. Guo, O. D. Bello, J. Vandrovcova, S. Efthymiou, R. Maroofian, S. Chen, L. Pisani, F. Madia, +90 Additional Authors

Journal Articles

© 2019, The Author(s). AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are tetrameric ligand-gated channels made up of combinations of GluA1-4 subunits encoded by GRIA1-4 genes. GluA2 has an especially important role because, following post-transcriptional editing at the Q607 site, it renders heteromultimeric AMPARs Ca2+-impermeable, with a linear relationship between current and trans-membrane voltage. Here, we report heterozygous de novo GRIA2 mutations in 28 unrelated patients with intellectual disability (ID) and neurodevelopmental abnormalities including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Rett syndrome-like features, and seizures or developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). In functional expression studies, mutations lead to a decrease in agonist-evoked current mediated by mutant subunits …

Excellent Response To Nivolumab And Ipilimumab In Metastatic Gastroesophageal Junction Squamous Carcinoma., N. Sadagopan, C. Devoe

Journal Articles

Unresectable gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers have a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. We report the case of a patient with a Siewert class III gastroesophageal junction squamous carcinoma with metastatic spread into the liver who had an exceptional response to a combination therapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab despite being programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) negative, microsatellite stable (MSS), and having a low tumor mutational burden. He initially experienced disease progression on the chemotherapy regimens modified DCF and FOLFIRI resulting in limited functional status, esophageal stent placement, and feeding tube placement. After about 6 months on nivolumab and ipilimumab, he had …

Shorter Disease Duration Is Associated With Higher Rates Of Response To Vedolizumab In Patients With Crohn's Disease But Not Ulcerative Colitis., D. M. Faleck, A. Winters, S. Chablaney, P. Shashi, J. Meserve, A. Weiss, V. Kesar, K. Sultan, A. Swaminath, R. Ungaro, +24 Additional Authors

Journal Articles

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with Crohn's disease (CD), but not ulcerative colitis (UC), of shorter duration have higher rates of response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists than patients with longer disease duration. Little is known about the association between disease duration and response to other biologic agents. We aimed to evaluate response of patients with CD or UC to vedolizumab, stratified by disease duration.

METHODS: We analyzed data from a retrospective, multicenter, consortium of patients with CD (n = 650) or UC (n = 437) treated with vedolizumab from May 2014 through December 2016. Using time to event analyses, …
