A 65-year-old female with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who developed aplastic anemia from temozolomide is reported. The patient presented with rapidly developing slurred speech, apathy, memory difficulties, an ataxic gait, and right-sided weakness. She was found to have GBM. She received standard external beam radiotherapy concomitant with temozolomide, followed by adjuvant temozolomide. On day 14 of adjuvant treatment, she presented with profound fatigue and spontaneous bruising and was noted to be severely pancytopenic. After an extensive workup, she was found to have aplastic anemia on bone marrow biopsy. This case rep...

ECG Changes with Elevated Troponin I in a Patient with Tension Pneumothorax.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Commonly, electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities in left-sided pneumothorax, with or without tension, include a right QRS axis deviation, low QRS voltage, loss of precordial lead R-wave progression, and anterior T-wave inversions. In contrast to the obvious findings of pneumothorax on chest radiograph, the ECG manifestations are sometimes difficult to identify. Furthermore, in the presence of the apparent causes of loss of precordial lead R-wave progression on ECG, such as acute coronary syndrome, the ECG manifestations of pneumothorax may be easily neglected. The abnormal ECG presentations, including diffuse low voltage...

Emphysematous Cystitis in the Absence of Known Risk Factors: An Unusual Clinical Entity.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We describe an extremely rare case of emphysematous cystitis in a nondiabetic, nonimmunocompromised elderly patient and we summarize the pertinent literature. The only risk factors for emphysematous cystitis in our patient were old age and female sex. Emphysematous cystitis can present asymptomatically. In such instances, the diagnosis should be suspected based on imaging findings. Physicians should be aware of this potential lack of typical symptoms and the presentation of this clinical entity in nonimmunocompromised individuals. Rapid, appropriate intervention by an alert physician in these difficult cases will lead to a...

Complaints of loss of memory and lack of concentration have been reported by long-term survivors of breast cancer. This mild cognitive impairment (MCI), also called chemobrain or chemofog, has been the subject of an important amount of studies in the last few years.

Diffusion-Weighted Imaging: Not All That Glitters Is Gold.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this report, we discuss some of the basic principles of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), a sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that detects the mobility of water molecules within the brain parenchymal tissue. Although the most common cause of what is known as hyperintense lesions on DWI is ischemic stroke, we will present multiple cases that may also have hyperintense lesions but have a diagnosis other than ischemic stroke. Diagnosing this way re-emphasizes that, although the sensitivity of DWI is high for ischemic stroke, the specificity is not.Page: 923DOI: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181a9142aAuthors: Bhatt,...

Current Concepts and Management Strategies in Atrial Flutter.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Atrial flutter is a relatively common supraventricular tachycardia. While usually seen in patients with underlying cardiovascular diseases, atrial flutter can also exist in patients with no obvious risk factors. Typical atrial flutter is characterized by a classical saw tooth appearance of P waves on electrocardiogram. Atrial flutter can degenerate into atrial fibrillation; however, proper management can decrease the incidence of atrial fibrillation in such patients.Page: 917DOI: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181b0f4b8Authors: Dhar, Sunil MD; Lidhoo, Pooja MD; Koul, Deepak MD; Dhar, Sanjay MD; Bakhshi, Manvendra MD; Deger, Florin T. ...

Hospital-Acquired Thoracic Empyema in Adults: A 5-Year Study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Little is known about the etiology, microbiology and outcome of hospital-acquired thoracic empyema (HATE) in adults. In our study, we classified HATE into two categories: hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) related and non-HAP related. We found that HAP-related empyema had a significantly higher incidence of aerobic Gram-negative organisms (76% vs. 38.7%, P = 0.005), polymicrobial pathogens (40% vs. 9.7%, P = 0.008), and anaerobic pathogens (20% vs. 0%, P = 0.009) than non-HAP related empyema. Thus, choice of antibiotic treatment for HATE should be based on the etiology of the pleural infection. In treating HAP-related empye...

Long-Term Outcomes of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Lobectomy for Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Although video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has been demonstrated to be safe and technically feasible for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it is infrequently performed in most hospitals. There has been no clear-cut long-term outcome regarding this procedure until recently. We have, therefore, reviewed our extended experience with 92 cases of VATS lobectomy for NSCLC here in order to determine indications, perioperative results, and long-term outcomes.Page: 905DOI: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181b08dcfAuthors: Yang, Xueying MD; Qu, Jiaqi MD; Wang, Shumin MD (Source: Southern Medical Journal)

Thirty-two twin pregnancies were treated with 17-alphahydroxyprogesterone (17P, N = 16) while 14 received placebo. There was no difference between the two groups, in terms of gestational age at delivery, incidence of preterm delivery, and birthweight. Likewise, among the neonates, there was no difference in morbidity, mortality, or neonatal death. 17P weekly injections does not reduce the incidence of preterm birth or prematurity complications.Page: 900DOI: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181afee12Authors: Briery, Christian M.

Are Obstetricians Following Best-Practice Guidelines for Addressing Pregnancy Smoking? Results from Northeast Tennessee.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Smoking cessation counseling is a recommended component of prenatal care for pregnant smokers, yet several studies have shown that obstetric providers do not universally provide such counseling. The current study, conducted in Northeast Tennessee where pregnancy rates are triple the national average, showed that providers in this area fall well short of adequately addressing smoking with their prenatal patients. Efforts to reduce pregnancy smoking and improve associated birth outcomes should include facilitation of smoking cessation interventions in prenatal care.Page: 894DOI: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181aa579cAuthors: Bailey, B...

The purpose of our exploratory study was to examine the association between ε4 status and neurocognitive functioning in African American AD patients. Research indicates that AD is 14-100% more common in African Americans compared to Caucasians (12,13). Therefore, it is important to determine whether there is a particular cognitive phenotype in African American ε4 carriers that might assist with detection and implementation of pharmacologic treatment.Page: 890DOI: 10.1097/SMJ.0b013e3181b21b82Authors: Mount, David L.

Electrocardiographic Markers of Cardioversion Success in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is an effective therapy to restore sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). Despite a high initial success rate, many patients revert back to AF within one month post DCCV. This retrospective study was designed to investigate whether surface electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis can be used to predict DCCV outcome immediately and at one month after cardioversion. Indeed, the study showed that the size of the atrial fibrillatory wave (fine versus coarse) and the type of the atrial arrhythmia (AF versus AFL) from the surface ECG predicts DCCV outcome...
