upon exam he was neurovascularly intact. he was taken to the operating room for right tube thoracostomy and washout, debridement open tibia wound to bone, arthrotomy with debridement of ankle, intramedullary nail tibia fracture and closed reduction of the humerus fracture with manipulation. there were no intraoperative complications. he was later started on lovenox per orthopedics recommendation and will remain on this until discontinued by dr. . postoperatively he remained in the trauma icu sedated and vented. he did have periods of agitation and was started on clonidine. he also required transfusion with packed cells early during his stay for falling hematocrit and hemodynamic instability. his last hematocrit was 28.7 on . spine surgery was consulted for his spine fractures, these were nonoperative. he was fitted for a tlso brace and this will need to be worn at all times while he is out of bed. he will follow up with dr. in 4 weeks. he was difficult to wean from the ventilator and the decision was made to perform an open tracheostomy. he was eventually weaned off of the ventilator and was transferred to the regular nursing unit. he was evaluated by speech and swallow and was eventually placed on a regular diet. his tracheostomy was removed at bedside on without any difficulties. because of his injuries there were some pain control issues; he initially required iv narcotics and was later changed to methadone and oxycodone which appear to be controlling his pain adequately at this point. he developed right arm swelling and there was concern for a thrombus. he underwent ultrasound of his upper extremity which revealed non-occlusive thrombus of the right internal jugular vein but no deep vein thrombosis was identified in the right arm. the swelling remains but has diminished. he was evaluated by physical and occupational therapy and has been recommended for acute rehab following his hospital stay. social work was also closely involved with patient and his family throughout his course here as there were some reported legal matters that the family was dealing with. medications on admission: denies discharge medications: 1. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 2. magnesium hydroxide 400 mg/5 ml suspension sig: thirty (30) ml po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for constipation. 3. bisacodyl 5 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: two (2) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po daily (daily) as needed for constipation. 4. methadone 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day). 5. enoxaparin 80 mg/0.8 ml syringe sig: 0.7 ml subcutaneous q12h (every 12 hours). 6. diazepam 5 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q6h (every 6 hours). 7. clonidine 0.1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day): begin taper when in rehab with goal of discontinuing medication. 8. oxycodone 5 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q3h (every 3 hours) as needed for pain. 9. hydromorphone (dilaudid) 0.5-1 mg iv q4h:prn 10. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization sig: one (1) neb inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing. 11. ipratropium bromide 0.02 % solution sig: one (1) neb inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing. 12. tylenol 325 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po every 4-6 hours as needed for fever or pain. discharge disposition: extended care facility: - discharge diagnosis: s/p motorcycle crash injuries: - comminuted sacral fx - left ischial fx - t4-t9 spinal fx - grade ii renal laceration - right pneumothorax, tiny left pneumothorax - right humerus fx - right transverse scapular fx - right calcaneus fx (open) - right tib-fib fx (closed) - peri-thoracic spine hematoma discharge condition: hemodynamically stable, tolerating a regular diet, pain adequately controlled. discharge instructions: the tlso brace must be worn at all times when out of bed. followup instructions: follow up in 2 weeks with dr. , orthoepdics, call for an appointment. follow up in 2 weeks with dr. , trauma surgery, call for an appointment. follow up in 4 weeks with dr. , orthoepedic spine surgery, call for an appointment. procedure: insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more insertion of endotracheal tube fiber-optic bronchoscopy temporary tracheostomy debridement of open fracture site, tibia and fibula open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, tibia and fibula closed reduction of fracture without internal fixation, humerus open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, humerus diagnoses: asthma, unspecified type, unspecified closed fracture of dorsal [thoracic] vertebra without mention of spinal cord injury traumatic pneumothorax without mention of open wound into thorax closed fracture of sacrum and coccyx without mention of spinal cord injury unspecified fracture of ankle, closed injury to kidney without mention of open wound into cavity, laceration closed fracture of shaft of humerus open fracture of shaft of tibia alone other motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision on the highway injuring motorcyclist closed fracture of ischium fracture of calcaneus, open closed fracture of scapula, other Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

cks flat). had a persantine mibi which showed normal ef and perfusion, no symptoms. a chest xray was w/o infiltrate or effusion. echo was performed which showed ef 70% and essentially normal study w/o wall motion abnormalities or valvular regurgitaton/stenosis. despite these normal studies, patient continued to have dyspnea at rest, often with resp rates in the 40's, but with normal oxgyen saturations. he was extremely anxious, agitated at times, often not allowing his housestaff examine him and speak with him. he was a very difficult historian. a chest ct was performed to further evaluate the lung parenchyma which showed bilateral peripheral ground glass opacities in the absence of pleural effusions or septal thickening. given the elevated white blood cell count and clinical picture, a multifocal pneumonia was thought most likely. he was treated with ceftriaxone and azithromycin, but he refused these treatments for approximately 24 hours. he was extremely anxious that we were trying to hurt him and that we didn't understand what was wrong with him. he would repeatedly say "nothing is wrong with me." after multiple conversations with the russian interpreter and a psychiatry consultation, patient agreed to receive his antibiotics. he clinically improved over the first few days, but then acutely decompensated with an episode hypotension and tachypnea overnight. he was transferred to the icu. heparin drip was started for fear of mi and/or pe and was aggressively hydrated with good bp response. he ruled out for mi and a v/q scan was attempted but patient didn't tolerate/complete the study. a cta was not possible, given his renal insufficiency. antibtics were contined as well and he was transferred back to the floor after an approximately 48 hour icu course. upon arrival to the floor, patient continued to have episodes of tachypnea and was placed on a non-rebreather. he had normal oxygen saturations during that time. abg 7.39/29/223 on nrb. he would not allow his resident physician to examine him, thus an emergent psychiatry consultation was obtained. he continued to refuse to be seen by his resident physician, multiple efforts. he believed his resident was the daughter of people who hated him and, in turn, he hated her. it was decided he would be transferred to another medical service. despite this, the patient had symptomatic relief with some ativan and morphine, breathing slowed, and he appeared improved. it was thought this tachypnea was secondary to a multifocal pneumonia (rather than a pe), as well as severe agitation and hyperventilation. his heparin was stopped at this time and he continued to improve over the next few days until his acute decompensation on the evening of his death. autopsy revealed multiple pulmonary emboli. . 4. elevated blood glucose: has diagnosis of dm per his pcp, he is non compliant w/ dm strategies as outpatient per pcp. on sliding scale here but refused teaching on dm care. . 5. hyperlipidemia: had fasting lipid profile w/ severe dyslipidemia. started lipitor on . . 6. schizophrenia: documented in omr. not on meds. has paranoid features and is hypersexual, inappapropriate at times. started seroquel prn qhs. haldol needed on for agitation. psychiatry consultation obtained multiple times as stated above for occasional refusal of care and splitting behaviors. * medications on admission: 1. lopressor 50 mg 2. monopril 10 mg daily 3. allopurinol 4. pepcid 5. asa discharge medications: patient passed away discharge disposition: expired discharge diagnosis: schizophenia pulmonary emboli community acquired pneumonia discharge condition: pt passed away in hospital procedure: insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified insertion of endotracheal tube cardiopulmonary resuscitation, not otherwise specified diagnoses: hyperpotassemia diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled acute kidney failure, unspecified aortocoronary bypass status unspecified schizophrenia, unspecified hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage v or end stage renal disease acute and chronic respiratory failure cardiac arrest personal history of noncompliance with medical treatment, presenting hazards to health acute diastolic heart failure other pulmonary embolism and infarction influenza with pneumonia Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

oliguric renal failure, massive volume overload, vre bacteremia & cmv viremia on admission. # hypoxia: pt was transferred from osh after being intubated for over 2wks unable to wean off high peeps with a ct c/w ards and massive volume overload. pt was aggressively diuresed with cvvh and weaned down to a peep of 5. trach was placed on and pt transitioned to trach collar. during admission, sputum cx were negative for signficant growth despite vre bacteremia. unfortunately, the patient developed progressive hypoxemia again on . cta was performed which did not show pe. she was placed back on mechanical ventilation. sputum cultures grew mixed resistance pseudomonas. she was treated for an 8 day course of ceftazadime. her respiratory status improved and she was weaned on the ventilator. she then developed increased wbc and sputum, and her sputum was recultured growing mixed colonies of pseudomonas, also ceftazidime sensitive. she was treated with a repeat course of ceftazidime to complete a 14 day course. prior to discharge, patient was weaned to trach mask and then tolerated pmv trial. she had not been on the ventilator for greater than 5 days prior to discharge. her trach was downsized to a 7mm portex on , she was fitteed with a pmv and passed a speech and swallow evaluation with speech language pathology. # hypotension/sepsis??????pt was admitted with hypotension & found to have vre bacteremia. rij line tip was +vre, blood & urine were also +vre. rij & left picc were pulled and replaced, pt was treated with a 14 day course of linezolid. all repeat blood cx were neg for growth. ct scan revealed no abscesses or fluid collections. both tee & tte were negative for vegetations. pt did require minimal amounts of levophed during first week of cvvh and etiology was thought more likely due to intravascular volume depletion than ongoing sepsis. pt was also continued on po vanco for h/o c.diff from osh, it was d/c'd after 5 c. diff toxins returned negative. pt was noted to have a cmv viremia on adm and was started on gangcyclovir, which was stopped on . untreated hypothryoidism on admission may also have contributed to the hypotension and pt was treated with increased dose of levothyroxine per endocrine. patient continued to maintain blood pressures during admission with transient drops during cvvh and hd. no further pressors were required. #gi: pt has a h/o gib in . egd performed on confirmed gastritis, no bleeding. pt was noted to have guaic positive stools & also produced bloody oral secretions that resolved after extubation. pt was treated with ppi & was transfused for a slowly dropping hct thought to be multifactorial including hemolysis via cvvh, phlebotomy & guaic positive stools due to ongoing colitis. pt did not experience any acute hct drop while in hospital. she received a total of 4 packed rbc transfusions during admission. # elev alk phos/ldh: etiology of elevated ap & ldh was unclear. it may have been due to cmv virus as these trended down in house with gangcyclovir treatment. pt had an occult malignancy work up that was essentially negative including a normal afp. pan-ct scan showed no e/o lymphadenopathy. spep was essentially normal. pt was noted to have a predominance of immature cells on peripheral smear with a persistently elevated wbc ct. hem/onc was consulted and felt this was most likely consistent with acute infection. lap was elevated, consistent w/ inflammation. no further work up was initiated. # arf/cri -pt was admitted in massive volume overload with arf and remained dialysis dependant & oliguric while in house. pt had successful volume removal with cvvh which allowed for vent weaning & ultimate transition to trach collar with toleration of trach mask with pmv. pt was transitioned from cvvh to hd over and will need to continue with hd as outpt. she is currently on a tues, thurs, saturday hd schedule. # heme/ pt has a h/o hitt ab + from osh and was noted to be profoundly

metoprolol 12.5mg tid. pt was treated with asa 81mg for cad/stroke prevention due to high risk of bleeding & guaic + stools. her rate remained high on metoprolol so she was transitioned to diltiazem, which better controlled her heart rate. in addition, she was started on digoxin with little improvement in rate. a combination of metoprolol with prn ativan maintained heart rates until 100, and she was continued on this regimen for the remainder of her hospitalization. #dm2: pt with type ii dm and h/o poorly controlled bs. endocrine was consulted and assisted with bs management in house. she is on an agressive insulin regimen due to persistently elevated blood sugars. this can continue to be reevaluated as she is being transitioned to po in addition to tube feeds just prior to discharge. # pt was not continued on home regimen of synthroid per osh records & presented with elevated tsh & depressed t3/t4 levels. pt was started back on levothyroxine replacement & endocrine was consulted to

present. the heart and mediastinum are unremarkable. the great vessels are unremarkable. nonspecific ground-glass opacities are seen in the left upper lobe (3:29). linear opacities in the lung bases are compatible with scarring. bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right, are small in size. no focal consolidation, pneumothorax, or pneumomediastinum is seen. airways are patent to segmental levels. the esophagus is normal. the soft tissues of the chest wall are unremarkable. abdomen: the liver is normal without focal or diffuse abnormality. a 2.1-cm non-enhancing soft tissue density (73 ) lesion within the gallbladder neck is compatible with a non-calcified calculus or sludge ball, although a focal adenomyoma may have a similar appearance. the intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, and adrenal glands are unremarkable. bilateral hypodense renal lesions, measuring up to 1.4 cm in the left kidney and 1.2 cm in right kidney, are compatible with simple

the right aspect of the thoracic vertebral bodies. there is mild thoracolumbar dextroscoliosis. no focal lytic or sclerotic lesion concerning for malignancy. impression: 1. asymmetric wall thickening of the cecum, compatible with known cecal malignancy. adjacent pericecal fat stranding may be expected in the setting of colonoscopy with cecal biopsy, but neoplastic serosal involvement may have a similar appearance. rounded 10-mm right lower quadrant lymph node is suspicious for metastatic involvement. 2. small non-hemorrhagic free pelvic fluid is present, unusual for this gender and age group. there is no other evidence for peritoneal or omental metastases. 3. small nonspecific left upper lobe ground-glass opacities, compatible with an infectious or inflammatory process. malignancy, particularly metastatic is significantly less likely. brief hospital course: reason for hospitalization: 67m with dm and htn who presents with severe anemia, found to have normal egd. believed to have slow lgib, likely from colonic polyp or malignancy. active issues: # anemia: the patient was originally admitted for blood tranfusion following a finding of hct 18 at pcp office and egd negative for acute bleed. his anemia was thought to be due to a slow gi bleed given his gradual weight loss and worsening weakness/lightheadedness. he was transfused prbcs on multiple occasions of his stay, with frequent hematocrit checks. on a colonoscopy was performed which showed a 5cm bleeding cecal mass. a ct torse was done for staging, showing no obvious mets, but some fluid in the pelvis and an enlarged ln concerning for metastasis. he and his family were informed of the results. social work was consulted to help them cope with the news. dr. , the patient's pcp, dr. , colorectal surgeon, met with the patient to answer questions and arrange close outpatient follow up. the patient's hct was stabilized. he was discharged with vna services and instructions to have hct checks q48-72 hours and frequent vital signs checks. # fever and tachycardia: one day prior to discharge, the patient developed fever and tachycardia. he was pan-cultured and had a chest xr done showing no acute process. however, given the ct chest finding of possible ggos in the lul, he was started on levoquin for possible pna. he did not complain of cough, and physical exam was free of crackles and he was satting well. ua was negative. blood cultures pending at time of discharge. his symptoms resolved prior to discharge, and he was sent out to complete a 5 day course of levoquin as an outpatient. #leukocytosis: during hospitalization, the pt had occasional spike in his wbc with no clinical signs of infection. it would tend to occur following his transfusions, accompanied by elevated platelets. in days, his counts would normalize. this was thought to be due to bone marrow reaction versus infection. he was treated empirically for infection as above. on discharge, his wbc count was downtrending. #abscess: pt presented with chronic, draining r buttock abscess. it was nontender with no fluctuance or induration on exam. nursing care performed frequent dressing changes. the fluid was cultured, growing coag positive staph aureus and mixed flora. he did not receive antibiotic therapy for this issues, as it was draining. he was discharged with vna services for dressing changes. chronic issues: # t2dm: held home glipizide and ordered iss. # htn: continued home dose of ramipril. transitional issues: - h pylori positive on egd. consider starting triple therapy in future once biopsy results are available and levaquin course is completed. - levaquin for 5 days for possible cap - follow up cecal mass biopsies - trend hct, transfuse as necessary - follow up blood cultures

number of days back in . he admits to having a 20-year history of abdominal pain with known gallstones. he is a diabetic. he also has a cardiac history including coronary artery bypass graft with anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. dr. met mr. and his family in my office and discussed the fact that he has recurrent problems and symptoms from known gallstones. he has not yet had an ercp although an eus showed that he has no evidence of stones in his bile duct. dr. indicated that a laparoscopic cholecystectomy would be indicated for his problem in that this has become quite symptomatic for him. i did tell him that this would be a bit risky due to his age as well as his cardiac comorbidities and the fact that he is on anticoagulation. the risks and benefits were discussed. he understood these risks and wished to proceed, and provided informed consent to that effect. past medical history: - diverticulosis - s/p lower gi bleed with recent admission as noted above - ischemic cardiomyopathy, nyha class iii - coronary artery disease s/p cabgx2 ( and redo ) - chronic systolic congestive heart failure with severely depressed ventricular function, last lvef

cysts - hyperlipidemia - gunshot wounds to left lower extremity with decreased sensation - low back pain - cataracts social history: social history is significant for the absence of current tobacco use. there is no history of alcohol abuse. family history: noncontributory physical exam: on physical exam, his abdomen is soft, nontender and nondistended with positive bowel sounds. he has no evidence of a sign. his cabg incision goes down into the epigastrium. there is no evidence of any hernias in either his abdomen or inguinal region. a rectal exam was deferred today. the rest of his physical exam is normal. his cardiac exam shows an irregular rhythm. pertinent results: ekg: afib with ventricular pacing at 69bpm, wide qrs in rbbb pattern. . telemetry: ventricular pacing. . gall

07:05am blood calcium-8.1* phos-3.1 mg-2.2 brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to dr. pancreaticobiliary surgery service on and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. he tolerated the procedure well, but his post-operative course was complicated by respiratory distress in the pacu requiring reintubation and admission to the surgical icu. after transfer to the icu, he was weaned from the vent and then extubated and subsequently transferred to the floor. the rest of his post-operative course was uneventful, however, due to his age, comorbidities and the stress of the surgery, he required a number of days to recover. during that time, he was transitioned off of iv fluids and his diet was advanced. his pain was well controlled on oral medications. due to his low ejection fraction and the fluid shifts of surgery, the patient's weight had increased from a baseline of the low 130s to the mid 140 lb range. thus, on pod 5, in consultation with his pcp, . , the patient was transferred to the cardiology service for management of his fluid overload secondary to his congestive heart failure in the setting of a surgical intervention and the associated fluid shifts. on the cardiology service he was diuresed with 80mg iv lasix, followed by a lasix drip at 10mg/hr. he tolerated diuresis well, with no signs of hemodynamic compromise. he self-reported his dry weight to be 135 lbs. on transfer he was at 68kgs (150lbs) with pitting posterior thigh and buttock edema. his creatinine rose slightly to 1.6, but came down to 1.4 prior to discharge. his weight was approximately 64kgs (140lbs) at the time of discharge. he was returned to his previous home dose of 80mg once a day, to be titrated as needed to maintain his weight. the patient had mild abdominal pain post-surgically, that worsened . he was found to have low pelvic pain. he had been having small, frequent urination while being diuresed. a foley catheter was placed, draining 800ccs of urine with resolution of his pain. the foley catheter was left in place and he was started on flomax (tamsulosin). he will follow up with urology to do an outpatient voiding trial after his bladder has had time to recover. in the setting of his urinary retention, a ua and urine culture were checked. the ua was equivocal (mildly elevated wbcs but no bacteria). the culture grew >100,000 colonies of enterococcus and the patient later complained of slight burning with his foley catheter. he was started on amoxicillin 875mg q12 hours for a 14-day course. the patient has atrial fibrillation, s/p pacer placement and av junction ablation. he restarted coumadin post-op with a lovenox bridge. once his inr was stably over 2.0, his lovenox was stopped. prior to discharge his inr was 2.7, and his goal inr has been 1.5-2.5 because of bleeding complications. he was discharged on a half dose of coumadin (1.25mg daily) and will follow-up with the clinic. he will follow-up in dr. clinic in three weeks for a post-op check. he had staples in his scalp from a fall prior to discharge. the staples were removed and steri-strips placed. he was seen by physical therapy who felt he could walk well, even with a foley bag in place.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: mr. is a 42-year-old gentleman who underwent a cadaveric liver transplant on for hepatitis c related cirrhosis. he was hospitalized from through . the patient was seen in follow-up and had normalization of his lfts. the patient also has a history of depression and bipolar disease. he is treated with lithium. he has a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease. the patient was treated with immunosuppressants including cellcept 1 gm , neoral and prednisone. the patient was doing well until we received a phone call from the patient's sister on the 19 reporting that the patient had a fever of 100.7 and generalized malaise. the patient was admitted directly to far-6. past medical history: 1. orthotopic liver transplant on . 2. hepatitis c and alcohol cirrhosis. 3. gerd. 4. bipolar disease. 5. diabetes. medications on admission: 1. flucortisone. 2. pepcid. 3. fluconazole. 4. metoprolol. 5. bactrim. 6. risperidone. 7. valcyte. 8. lasix. 9. lithium. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the surgical service on far-6. the patient had blood cultures, urine cultures, sputum cultures, cmv viral load sent on the . the patient was begun on broad spectrum antibiotics. the patient underwent an ultrasound on the 20 which demonstrated no flow in his hepatic artery. the patient underwent a cat scan that demonstrated a 4 x 5 x 4.7 cm collection consistent with a large biloma. the patient had an mrcp that showed that his left duct communicated with a large biloma at the confluence. this was consistent with hepatic artery thrombosis and bile duct necrosis. the patient was covered with broad spectrum antibiotics, as stated, including vancomycin, levofloxacin and zosyn. on the 25, the patient was admitted, had some depression of his mental status and was admitted to the icu for monitoring. he remained in the icu for 5 days and then was transferred to the floor. as stated, he was continued on broad spectrum antibiotics. we followed him serial cat scans on the 25 and again on the 31. they showed a large biloma with question of infarction of the liver, and small pleural effusions. the patient's biliary cultures grew out gram-negative staph. on the , the patient underwent ct-guided drainage of his biloma. of note, his lfts on admission revealed an ast and alt of 47 and 55, and an alk phos of 228, and a total bilirubin 1.0, that slowly increased up to a bilirubin of 4.3 on , with transaminases of 39 and 48, and alk phos increased to 377. the patient was relisted for liver transplant patient with a diagnosis of hepatic artery thrombosis. the patient had significant lower extremity swelling, and had an ivc gram that showed a stenosis that was angioplastied on the . the patient's vanc levels remained in a therapeutic range. on , the patient received an offer for a cadaveric liver, and on the patient underwent cadaveric renal transplantation. this transplant was done in an orthotopic fashion. it was an end-to-end anastomosis between the recipient splenic artery and the donor hepatic artery. the portal vein was end-to-end and the duct was duct-to-duct with a t-tube placed. the donor was cmv positive and o+. the recipient was cmv negative and o+. the patient received simulect at the time of retransplantation and again on day 4. the patient was given 500 mg of steroid of solu-medrol on day 0 and day 1, and started on a steroid taper. the patient was also continued on mycophenolate and prograf. postoperative course was significant for delayed graft function/primary cholestasis. his bilirubin slowly increased postoperatively to a high of 22.6 on , which was postop day #19. the patient had full investigations including tube cholangiograms which were normal, ct scanning with iv contrast which demonstrated a small wasting of the portal vein with good flow through the portal vein, and a small residual stenosis of ivc with good flow in the ivc. the patient underwent a portal cavagram on the which demonstrated a small wasting of the portal vein again with no gradient as well. the patient had an ivc gram that showed no gradient across the ivc stenosis. this is status post previous angioplasty. the patient had a mesenteric a gram that demonstrated the hepatic-splenic artery anastomosis to be intact with good flow and perfusion of the left and right hepatic arteries without evidence of stenosis. the patient had a liver biopsy that was consistent with some ischemic changes of preservation injury, without evidence of rejection. with his increasing bilirubin, the patient required reintubation for decreased mental status and inability to clear his respiratory secretions. the patient had a repeat ct scan done on the which showed a small collection in the lesser sac for which he had a percutaneous drain placed. this percutaneous drain fluid was consistent with a small pancreatic fistula. his postop course after the was consistent with slow resolution of most of his symptoms. his hepatic graft and function returned, and he slowly increased his synthetic function, and over the ensuing weeks his bilirubin decreased from a maximum of 22.6 down to 3.5. as his bilirubin decreased, his mental status improved, and the patient began to participate in his care. the patient's nutrition was supplemented by originally tpn and then by enteral tube feeds to meet his goal rate. all of the patient's cultures were negative, and all of his antibiotics were completed. the patient also had some mild abdominal pain. the patient was seen and evaluated by urology for left-sided abdominal pain. the patient was known to have nephrolithiasis on the right side, and no nephrolithiasis on the left side. by , the patient had improved. the patient was ambulatory with physical therapy. although the patient was weak, he would ambulate with a walker and with assistance. the patient was off all antibiotics. the patient's bilirubin, as stated, decreased and was meeting all of his goal nutrition with tube feeds and was tolerating a po diet. the patient's pigtail catheter was putting out approximately 100-120 cc a day of a small pancreatic fluid collection. the patient had a repeat ct scan done on the which demonstrated nephrolithiasis on the right, and no kidney stones on the left, a decrease in ascites, a small collection associated with the pigtail catheter, and a small pancreatic pseudocyst. the patient's other issue was his platelet count. the patient had a large hepatosplenomegaly and was felt to have secondary platelet destruction. the platelet count was stable at 40,000 at the time of discharge. by the time of discharge on , the patient was on hospital day #53, and the patient was afebrile with a temperature of 98.8. blood pressure was stable. the patient had good i's and o's and had 130 cc out from his drain. his labs as of the revealed a creatinine which was stable at 1.2, ast and alt 40 and 55, alk phos 286, and a bilirubin of 3.4. the patient was maintained on insulin sliding scale, bactrim single-strength 1 qd, labetalol 100 po bid, clonidine 0.4 tid, hydralazine 75 qid, epogen 10,000 u subcu q monday, nystatin 5 cc

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: acute sob at rehab, arrested, intubated and transferred to major surgical or invasive procedure: flex bronch history of present illness: hpi: 69yo cambodian woman with history of metastatic papillary thyroid cancer s/p subtotal thyroidectomy and tracheostomy, presenting from osh after respiratory and cardiac arrest. her history dates back to when she presented unresponsive requiring intubation. she had been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in and underwent subtotal thyroidectomy on . she subsequently developed upper airway compromise due to subglottal edema. she underwent tracheostomy and peg placement . she was hospitalized at from . hospital course was complicated by acinetobacter and enterobacter pneumonias, newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus, sepsis, sinusitis, and atrial flutter. she was eventually discharged to rehab. she continued to have problems with tracheal stenosis, and was admitted to . she underwent rigid and flexible bronchoscopy revealing tracheomalacia, subglottic stenosis, and infra and superior glottic swelling. she had a swallow study which showed aspiration. she was transferred to rehab not on ventilator. at rehab on pseudomonas, stenotrophomonas, mrsa, and enterococcus were cultured from the trach site, and she was treated with levofloxacin and linezolid. today she was noted to be having difficulty breathing through the trach and was brought to ed. she was intubated with 6ett through trach stoma. she arrested requiring cpr, epinephrine, and atropine, and was revived. thick secretions were suctioned. a 6.0trach tube was reinserted by anesthesia at the osh prior to transfer. on presentation now she is alert. she responds "no" to question of speaking english. past medical history: thyroid cancer dx in - papillary cancer with positive nodes status post sternotomy and partial right and total left thyroidectomy on . iddm htn papillary ca - thyroid, dm2, htn, hiatal hernia, b12 defic, b cell lymphoma-s/p chemo psh: thyroidectomy w/ sternotomy, trach, peg social history: social: the pt has six children living in the area, 2 children living in . she is from and speaks catnonese. she understands some english. apparently she was independent with mobility and basic adl prior to her last hospitalization. her functional capacity recently has been the need for maximal assistance to total dependency in most areas family history: not known physical exam: pe: t 97.3 hr 99 bp 110/50 rr 18

chloride-104 total co2-22 anion gap-15 video oropharyngeal swallow examination: an oral and pharyngeal swallowing video fluoroscopy was performed today in collaboration with the speech and language pathology division. various consistencies of barium including thin liquid, nectar thickened liquid, puree, and a half cookie coated with barium were administered. findings: the oral phase was unremarkable for pathology. mild valleculae residue was noted, cleared with frequent swallowing. mild spillover was noted before each swallow. with thin liquids, mild aspiration was noted without cough reflex initiated. _____ laryngeal excursion was normal. palatal elevation and, laryngeal valve closure, and epiglottic deflection were within functional limits. impression: before swallowing patient develops mild spillover into the valleculae cleared with frequent swallows. no aspiration noted with thick liquids but mild aspiration upon thin liquids without initiating cough reflex. echo: general comments: frequent ventricular premature beats. conclusions: the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. right ventricular systolic function is normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the lvef is no longer hyperdynamic, but remains normal. otherwise, no change. cxr: indication: tracheostomy and shortness of breath. a tracheostomy tube remains in place. there is narrowing of the airway proximal to the level of the tube without change. heart size is normal. the aorta is tortuous. the lungs are clear, and there are no pleural effusions. impression: airway narrowing proximal to tracheostomy entry site without change. no evidence of pneumonia. brief hospital course: pt was admitted to micu intubated after resp arrest at rehab facility. thought to be r/t plugging from granulation tissue. flex bronch showed patent t-tube w/o granulation tissue above or below the t-tube. etiology of resp arrest then thought to be from secretion plugging. rec'd supporttive pulmonary/cardiac care in micu w/ good recovery. intubation via stoma w/ ett was converted back to trach as prior to event. on hd #3 pt transferred from icu to floor for ongoing pul rahab. noted to be having runs of non-sustained, asymptomatic bigeminy and trigeminy. cardiology was consulted and echo was performed (see report section )w/o etiology of ectopy; thought to be related to cpr given during arrest. currently on betablocker and can be titrated up for hr control if bp allows. treated w/ linezolid and levoflox for mrsa pna which will stop on . rec'ing bactrim for uti until . on steriod taper for edmea noted on bronch. glucoses controlled w/ nph and ssri. kept npo w/ tube feeds via j-tube until able to perform video swallow study. swallow study done on hd#7 and pt passed for ground diet and nectar thick liquids; no thin liquids. capping trial initiated on hd#7- capping x 4 hrs but became anxious. sats were mid-high 90's however, pt was uncapped d/t anxiety. remained

history of alcohol abuse and prior history of detoxifications. the day before his admission he had developed bright red blood per rectum. he had received 7 units at hospital and a tag scan there showed no evidence of localization. he was transferred to , where he remained initially stable. however, he quickly opened up and was subsequently resuscitated ith blood and fresh frozen plasma. a tagged red cell scan showed evidence of a bleed in his distal sigmoid or proximal rectum. he was then taken to angio for embolization. a distal branch of the was localized. on an attempt to embolize the vessel, the catheter came out. during reinsertion the aorta was accidently perforated. the patient started to develop back pain and a balloon was blown up in the aorta for 15 minutes occluding the site of the perforation. the balloon was taken down and there was no evidence of extravasation from the aortic perforation. after the procedure, the patient was brought to the icu in stable condition.in the icu he once again started bleeding profusely. he was taken back down to angio and the internal iliac was catheterized. the bleeding site was seen from collaterals from the internal iliac and gelfoam was placed. the gelfoam stopped the bleeding and once again he was hemodynamically stable and did not bleed for several hours. unfortunately he then opened up again and was taken to the operating room for a sigmoid colectomy and proximal rectal resection. after the procedure the patient was brought back to the icu, where he remained intubated for three more days. no seizure activity or signs of detoxification were noted under sedation with propofol/fentanyl and benzodiazepine coverage. he was extubated on pod#3 and remained hemodynamically stable. he was subsequently put on a regimen of olanzapine and valium and was transferred to the floor on pod#4. upon discharge he is tolerating a regular diet and his pain is well controlled. the patient is homeless. his sister has agreed to take care of him and offer him a place to stay as long as he stays sober. the patient also has been instructed to follow up with his primary care practitioner to adjust for home psych meds.

brought back for his third trip to the operating room on , for further debridement. exploration revealed minimal to no remaining necrosis. the wounds appeared fairly clean. the patient was taken to the operating room on , for the first of multiple skin grafts. these were performed by the plastic surgery service and performed on , , with completion split thickness skin grafting performed on . in the interim, the patient had a diverting colostomy performed by dr. of the colorectal surgery service on . this was done to divert the fecal stream as well as from potentially contaminated areas. the patient also had scrotal reconstructions performed on , , and . 1. neurological: the patient was initially maintained under sedation and on ventilatory support in the intensive care unit. he was gradually weaned appropriately off of these as his ventilatory status returned. he had no significant neurological issues through the course of his hospital stay. 2. cardiovascular: initially, the patient had been maintained on multiple pressors in the intensive care unit and required this for hemodynamic support. he was found to be quite septic but was appropriately weaned off of these pressors and continued to do well. 3. respiratory: the patient initially was maintained on full ventilatory support in the intensive care unit. upon his transfer to the floor he had no significant respiratory problems. 4. gastrointestinal: the patient had done well from a gastrointestinal standpoint. he had a diverting colostomy performed in conjunction with the colorectal service, dr. , on . subsequent to this, the patient's ostomy was seen to be working well. the patient had excellent bowel function and was stable from this standpoint. 5. hematology: the patient initially had required multiple blood product transfusions but was otherwise hemodynamically stable. 6. infectious disease: the infectious disease service was involved early and frequently and initially had placed the patient on penicillin-g and clindamycin. the patient was subsequently switched to meropenem and vancomycin for multiple catheter infections growing out mrsa. in addition, secondary to his extensive necrotizing fasciitis, this was done in order to prevent any other possible neocolonial infections. the patient's most significant recent cultures including a vre screen on , which was positive, a negative clostridium difficile assay on , negative clostridium difficile on , positive catheter tip culture on , for mrsa, and a wound culture on , which grew out pseudomonas, enterococcus as well as coag negative staph. under the recommendation of infectious disease, the patient completed his antibiotic course on , and subsequently found to be afebrile and having no infectious disease complications. he had no gross evidence of any infection cutaneous or otherwise on his discharge. 7. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the nutrition service was consulted in regard to maintaining adequate caloric and protein support. the patient was found to be doing well and had an excellent appetite on the floor and this was supplemented by protein shakes t.i.d. ultimately, the patient was discharged on , tolerating a regular diet, having begun his physical therapy on , without complication and generally doing quite well. he has multiple skin grafts in the perineal and scrotal area. of note, his right testicle has been reimplanted into the right inguinal area. multiple scrotal revisions have been viewed by the plastics team and seem to be doing well although they continue to have a small amount of nonpurulent drainage. multiple split thickness skin grafts, both donor and recipient sites, are healing well. the patient does have an ischemic pressure ulcer region on his right wrist which is healing well with santyl and normal saline wet-to-dry changes b.i.d. the patient also has a peristomal wound which is granulating in well and being addressed with just normal saline wet-to-dry b.i.d. changes. physical examination on discharge: general: patient appears well. he has well-healing skin grafts in multiple areas. vital signs are stable, afebrile. chest is clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular is regular rate and rhythm without murmur, rub or gallop. abdomen is soft, non-tender, non-distended. there is a functioning colostomy in the left lower quadrant. immediately left lateral to this, there is a small 3 x 4 cm open granulating wound which is healing nicely with no evidence of infection. extremities: on the patient's right wrist there is a small approximately 2 x 3 cm open area which is being treated by santyl b.i.d. as well as normal saline wet-to-dry changes b.i.d. this is healing nicely with no evidence of infection. the patient's scrotum and perineal area are recipients of scrotal revisions as well as multiple skin grafting. the scrotal and testicular area, in particular, has some daily drainage although this is nonpurulent in nature. the right testicle has been reimplanted into the right inguinal area. all these grafts are seen to be doing well and require xeroform dressing changes b.i.d. the patient's right leg is significant for multiple donor sites which are healing well and should be treated with bacitracin q.i.d. up closer to the groin and perineal area, there are some areas of recipient skin graft sites. these along with the scrotal area should be changed with xeroform b.i.d. the patient's left leg has a donor site with old xeroform still attached to it. this should be allowed to fall off on its own and treated with bacitracin q.i.d. subsequent to that. the patient has other donor sites on his left leg which are being treated with bacitracin q.i.d. as with the right leg, the area close to the perineum is significant for the most recent skin graft recipient and should be treated with xeroform b.i.d. neuro is grossly intact. condition at discharge: stable. disposition: to rehabilitation facility. diet: ad lib with boost and protein shake supplements t.i.d. discharge medications: 1. vitamin c 500 mg b.i.d. 2. zoloft 50 mg q. day. 3. zinc sulfate 220 mg q. day. 4. santyl b.i.d. to

4h. p.r.n. 13. colace 100 mg b.i.d. discharge instructions: the patient has a foley catheter to gravity. this may be discontinued in two to three days' time as his mobility allows. the patient has a right wrist wound which should be changed with santyl topical b.i.d. as well as normal saline wet-to-dry b.i.d. the patient has a peristomal wound which is normal saline wet-to-dry b.i.d. dressing changes. the patient's scrotal, testicular, perineal and non-healed skin graft areas should be changed with xeroform b.i.d. the right leg and left leg donor sites seem to be well-healed. there is an old xeroform dressing on the left leg which should be allowed to fall off on its own. bacitracin should be applied q.i.d. to all healed skin graft areas. the patient should continue p.o. intake and be supplemented with protein shakes and boost t.i.d. from a physical therapy standpoint, the patient has significant progress to be made. he needs gait, balance, transfer training as well as conditioning and generalized strengthening of both upper and lower body. his anticipated goals are the activities of daily living. the patient rehabilitation potential is excellent. patient should follow up with dr. in three to four weeks' time. the patient should follow up with dr. of plastic surgery in two weeks' time. the patient will ultimately need another scrotal revision at the discretion of dr. . ,

"deep" left lateral costophrenic sulcus; a loculated basilar pneumothorax cannot be excluded. 4. patchy, streaky opacities at the medial lung bases, which may represent chronic aspiration. . cxr repeat: 1. no evidence of pneumothorax. 2. et tube 6.2 cm above the carina partly explained by neck hyperextension. 3. ng tube terminating in the gastric cardia. further advancement by 7-8 cm is recommended. 4. patchy bibasilar streaky opacification, more confluent in the left; an acute infectious process cannot be excluded. . ankle film (l): patchy regional osteopenia. no acute injury identified. osseous remodeling of the distal metaphyses of the tibia and fibula may represent the sequela of remote trauma. . echo: mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. severe hypokinesis/akinesis of the distal half of the anterior septum and anterior walls and distal inferior wall. the apex is mildly aneurysmal and dyskinetic. the remaining segments contract normally (lvef = 35-40 %). mild aortic regurgitation. mild mitral regurgitation. . cta chest: impression: 1. no evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. left lower lobe collapse. 3. evaluation of lung parenchyma is limited due to respiratory motion. mild nodular and ground-glass opacity within the right lung base may represent early onset of infection. no evidence of consolidation. 4. enlarged right hilar lymph node with borderline enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. these findings are nonspecific and could represent the sequelae of prior infection or inflammation. . ankle (ap, mortise & lat) left 9:36 am medical condition: 77 year old man with stage iv decubitus ulcer reason for this examination: please assess for osteo. three radiographs of the left leg and ankle demonstrate regional demineralization about the left ankle, hind, and mid foot and represent the sequela of remote trauma. no subcutaneous emphysema is evident. assessment of the regional soft tissues is limited by dressing material overlying the medial malleolus. there is curvilinear density seen along the skin surface overlying the medial malleolus, possibly representing silver nitrate. the finding does not extend to the bone on these images. no subcutaneous emphysema is evident. the mortise is congruent, although assessment of the lateral mortise is somewhat limited by position. plantar calcaneal spurs unchanged. no cortical fragmentation is evident. impression: curvilinear density on the skin overlying the medial malleolus. the finding may represent silver nitrate. the finding does not extend to the bone. no cortical fragmentation or subcutaneous emphysema is identified. regional demineralization about the left ankle, mid, and hindfoot is unchanged. no acute injury is identified. . chest (portable ap) reason: evaluate for interval change. medical condition: 77 year old man with hypoxia. reason for this examination: evaluate for interval change. history: hypoxia, to evaluate for change. findings: in comparison with study of , the opacification at the left base has almost completely cleared. the remainder of the lung is within normal limits. nasogastric tube again extends well into the stomach and probably into the duodenum. brief hospital course: # hypoxia: likely due to aspiration. although cxr not impressive for infectious cause, gpcs on gram stain of sputum (while pt had been on outpatient cefepime) and on admission had thick secretions, so empirically treated with vanc/zosyn for possible hospital acquired pna. extubated to nasal cannula. cultures were negative, so antibiotics were discontinued on (sputum culture with oropharyngeal flora only, blood cultures with only 1 bottle coag neg staph). however, increased secretions and wbc rising on . pan-cultured again (since off abx x2 days) and restarted on vanc/zosyn, still no growth at discharge. patient also had repeated episodes of hypoxia while still in the icu requiring face mask which suggests mucous plugging vs. aspiration which are resolving with chest pt. patient has been satting well on room air since admission to the medicine floor. also appears euvolemic to dry on exam, no rales so likely not fluid overloaded. he will continue on vancomycin/zosyn for a 14 day course (day 1=). his vancomycin trough on the day of discharge was elevated to 43 so his doses were held. if possible, vanc trough should be checked daily each morning, and vancomycin can be restarted if trough <20 before . additionally, patient has a percutaneous j-tube in place nutrition given his history of aspiration. tube feeds were restarted on and are advancing to goal of 65cc/hr. no need for supplemental oxygen at this time as satting well on room air (>95%). . # hypotension: has been stable and not required fluid boluses since . sbp appears to be in the 90s, but transient dips into the 80s have resolved spontaneously with no intervention. no evidence of sepsis (hr stable, white count decreasing, blood pressure stable, no clear source of infection other than possible aspiration). blood cultures still pending at the time of dischage, have all been no growth to date. patient can have ivf prn to maintain bp if needed. his acei and beta blocker have been held due to hypotension and his systolic bps have been in the high 90s and low 100s over the last week. given ectopy on telemetry, could consider restarting his beta blocker at a low dose in the near future pending increase in his blood pressure. . # leukocytosis: trending downward after restart of his antibiotics. most likely source is pulmonary as ua negative, no diarrhea, lfts relatively within normal limits at time of admission. also may be due to sacral or heel pressure ulcer. has had plain film without e/o osteomyelitis. crp and esr trending downward. continue antibiotics as above. . # poor nutritional status: poor po intake especially important given sacral decubs. tube feeds restarted via j-tube and advancing to goal. continuing vit c and zinc as per outpatient regimen. . # electrolytes: patient has been hypernatremic and hypokalemic over the last few days. j-tube free water flushes were increased and patient is receiving occasional free water as needed. potassium repletion as well given ectopy on telemetry. his electrolytes should be monitored daily for the next few days given restart of his tube feeds. . # wound care/decubitus ulcers: chronic problem for patient who does not walk at . no evidence of osteo of l ankle on plain film. wound care was consulting and recommendations are being followed for management. . # s/p tia last admission: continue aspirin and plavix per outpt doses. . # cad s/p cabg and possible prior nstemi: continue statin, low dose asa. pt not on bb or ace, which were held for hypotension as above. . # anemia: pt with hct 30, likely hemoconcentrated on admission. continues to be stable. . # schizophrenia: continued on zyprexa 7.5mg po qhs prn and mirtazapine. . # dementia: continue outpt dose of namenda and aricept. pt at is oriented x 1 and speaks (often with cursing) . #

right basal areas of atelectasis. obviously atelectatic increase in lung density around the left hilus. moderate bilateral apical thickening. bronchial washings atypical epithelial cells in a background of pulmonary macrophages and bronchial cells. tte the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (ef 70-80%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. ruq 1. patent and appropriate tips and portal veins. 2. small amount of sludge within the gallbladder with some tiny stones. pleural fluid cytology negative for malignant cells. rare mesothelial cells. lymphocytes and monocytes (see note). mri abd/pelvis 1. evidence of iron deposition in the liver and pancreas, consistent with primary chemochromatosis. no evidence of iron deposition in the heart on limited images presented. no imaging stigmata of cirrhosis. 2. no focal liver lesion. 3. trace ascites. 4. patchy increased signal at the lung bases, trace right pleural effusion. lue doppler u/s no deep vein thrombosis seen in the left arm. pleural fluid cytology negative for malignant cells. reactive mesothelial cells and macrophages. cxr there is blunting of both cp angles, but there is no large effusion as was present previously. right-sided picc line tip is in the right atrium. feeding tube tip is off the film. there are areas of opacity in the left lower lung and right mid lung. the left lower lung opacity has a rounded configuration and measures 2.6 cm. this has not been visualized on the prior film, some of which could have been due to technique, volume loss, infiltrate, and overlying effusion. the mass lesion in this region cannot be totally excluded and if cross-sectional imaging has been obtained at an outside institution would be helpful to ensure that no lesion is present, this could just be a loculated area of fluid. the heart is upper limits normal in size. impression: patchy areas of opacity in the left mid lung and the right mid lung. it is unclear if these represent focal infiltrates. recommend followup. repeat cxr compared to the film from earlier the same day there is a small right pneumothorax. this was present on the earlier film but was not commented upon. there is volume loss in both lower lungs and a more confluent appearance to the opacity previously mentioned in the left mid lung. there continues to be hazy right mid lung alveolar infiltrate. cxr there is a small right pneumothorax, unchanged compared with . otherwise no significant change is detected. proximal left humeral fracture again noted. cxr 1. increased right basilar opacity likely represents worsening pleural effusion, worsening atelectasis or consolidation in the correct clinical setting. 2. increased left basilar and lingula opacities likely reprsent atelectases. however, pneumonia can't be excluded in the correct clinical setting. discharge labs: wbc 24.5 hct 23.6 plt 183 na 131 k 4.2 cl 95 hco3 32 bun 30 cr 0.7 glc 101 ca 7.9 mg

sided effusion that was being drained by a chest tube secondary to sympathetic effusion from ascites. the patient went into acute respiratory distress on the morning of secondary to hypoxia. she was initially placed on a nrb without resolution and became more hypoxic to the 60-70 and tachypneic. she was also hypotensive and started on levophed and given ivf. she was urgently intubated for hypoxemic respiratory failure. the patient was initially treated broadly with vanco/cefepime and then changed to linezolid/cefepime/flagyl given her prior history of vre and c. diff. her cxr did not show evidence of pneumothorax. the patient underwent bronch on that showed small airways, but no evidence of infection or aspiration of foreign body. the patient had been maintained on a heparin gtt for axillary dvt prior to the event making pe less likely. the patient respiratory status improved and was able to be extubated on . likely multifactorial in setting of hydrothorax, secretions placing

unchanged. multifocal areas of consolidation are again demonstrated, most marked in the right lower lobe. although similar in appearance to the recent study, there has been improvement in the multilobar consolidations when compared to earlier radiographs such as . bilateral pleural effusions are unchanged, left greater than right. chest/abd/pelvis ct : 1. unchanged right superior mediastinal hematoma. 2. right upper lobe pneumonia with dense consolidations in both lower lobes and small nonhemorrhagic effusions. 3. splenomegaly. 4. no retroperitoneal hematoma. ekg : sinus tachycardia with atrial premature beats. borderline low voltage in the limb leads. since the previous tracing atrial premature beats are new. otherwise, findings are unchanged. echo (): the left atrium is mildly dilated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. regional left ventricular

slight increase in small-moderate left and small right pleural effusions. 4. decreased bibasilar peribronchiolar opacities, with increased opacities in the right upper lobe, which could represent an ongoing infectious/ inflammatory process. brief hospital course: 52 yo female with history of mpd/mds, s/p bmt 1 yr ago, who is admitted with fevers, neutropenia/pancytopenia and splenic infarct and splenomegaly, transferred to with acute respiratory distress, with rapidly expanding left pleural effusion. chest tube placed pm drained ~920 cc of blood-colored thin fluid. improved on abx, then developed rll presumed vap, found to be stenotrophomonas, to ceftaz (bactrim best but patient has sulfa allergy, resistant to levoflox). on broad spectrum antibiotics (vanc/voriconazole/ceftazidime/acyclovir ppx) id following, initially was on stress dose steroids, now weaned to daily iv 20mg dose for gvhd. . active issues: # hypoxic respiratory failure: initially due to white out of left lung likely due to pneumonia/rapidly expanding serosanguinous pleural effusion. her ct scan revealed pan lobar consolidation of lul/ lll and patchy involvement in the rll too with drainage of the pleural space with the chest tube. bronch showed very thick, purulent secretions, obtained samples. patient was continued on abx regimen since culture data nonspecific/pending (vanc//voriconazole/levoflox/acyclovir ppx). pna and effusions improved dramatically around the 7th, but since the 9-10th, cxr shows worsening rll process, likely infiltrate. patient was ct scanned which corroborated with infiltrate as opposed to edema and patient was bronch'ed on , minimal secretions noted, growing stenotrophomonas to ceftaz (bactrim best but patient has sulfa allergy; resistant to levoflox). patient continued on ceftaz(course length to be dictated by id, likely 2 wks), vancomycin(today is day , can stop afterwards), vori (can d/c, will need to f/u with id), & acyclovir ppx. chest tube has since been removed with no complications. patient initially headed to tracheostomy route but ended up responding beautifully to ceftaz and was extubated . she was transitioned back to the floor but on became acutely tachypneic and hypoxic and was transferred back to the icu. antifungal coverage had been changed to micafungin on . cxr showed worsening r sided pleural effusion and she underwent therapeutic thoracentesis with placement of a pigtail catheter with drainage of >1l serosanguinous fluid, exudative which was removed . she was started on vancomycin at time of icu transfer for possible worsening on chest ct of infectious process. sputum gs showed 3+ gpcs in pairs. induced sputum was sent. she was weaned to 3l nc with rr in 20s and was deemed stable for transfer back to floor on . she subsequently developed worsening tachypnea and hemoptysis on and was transferred back to the icu. she became increasingly hypoxic relatively rapidly and hct was noted to be falling. after a discussion with her, her husband, and the bmt team, the decision was made to intubate the patient for hypoxia and airway protection. she also required plt and prbc transfusion at this time. follow up chest imaging revealed a possible empyema vs complex loculated effusion with rind. thoracic surgery placed a new chest tube on the right while intubated with some effect. antibiotics were broadened to include tigecycline but the patient continued to require maximal ventilatory support. . # acute on chronic renal failure: etiology likely oliguric atn in setting of sepsis. baseline cr of 1.3-1.4, went as high as 3.3, with metabolic acidosis and electrolyte derrangements. at first tried to balance with respiratory alkalosis through ventilator settings but it became apparent after 1-2 days in the icu that she would benefit from dialysis. cvvh was initiated with great results, improvement in ph, electrolytes, & fluid balance. on , patient was started on hd, which she tolerated well. making small amounts of urine on . patient now recovering with increased uop with no acute indication for hd and will likely not require further. would trial diuretics if

sepsis, anxiety, fluid overload at times. responded to boluses currently when hypotensive earlier in course. she became increasingly hypotensive during her last micu course, requiring 2 pressors at maximal dosage. after a discussion between the patient's husband and hcp and her outpatient , the decision was made to not escalate care further given overall prognosis. the patient expired with her family at the bedside on the evening of . postmortem exam was declined by the family. . # anemia: likely multifactorial, to blood loss from low platelets, hemolysis, and anemia of chronic disease. was

ground-glass airspace opacity in the right lower lobe likely represents resolving infectious process. 4. increased nodular density adjacent to the left lower lobe suture line, which is a nonspecific finding and may represent inflammatory changes, although an infectious etiology cannot be excluded. 5. resolution of left lower lobe mucoid impaction seen on prior study. 6. no change in axillary adenopathy. mediastinal nodes are also stable, not pathologically enlarged ct chest and neck : impression: no relevant change as compared to the previous examination. unchanged pre- existing right basal parenchymal opacities, with small ventral opacities that have newly occurred and most likely correspond to healing infection or atelectasis. no evidence of mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy. no pleural effusions. no recent pneumonia. no evidence of lymphoma in the abdomen. tte : the left atrium is normal in size. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. there is mild global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 50%). the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with depressed systolic function (more precise assessment is limited by poor acoustic windows). the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: mildly dilated right ventricle with mild global biventricular systolic dysfunction. mild to moderate mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. mild pulmonary hypertension. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , right ventricle is larger and biventricular systolic function is lower. severity of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. ct abdomen and pelvis : 1. loculated pleural effusion anteriorly is decreased in size although demonstrates enhancement and empyema can therefore not be excluded. 2. unchanged appearance of infiltrative soft tissue mass involving the root of mesentery and retroperitoneum. left pelvic side wall and right peri-psoas lymphadenopathy is also unchanged. 3. stable mild intrahepatic ductal dilatation with no evidence for acute cholecystitis. 4. unchanged bilateral renal cysts. ct chest : impression: mild interval decrease in right pleural fluid. otherwise, no relevant change in the appearance of the chest. specifically, no evidence of new parenchymal infectious process discharge labs: wbc: 13.4/9.2/28.1/347 chem 7: 136/4/96/25/29/1.3/97 brief hospital course: 65 year old male with refractory non hodgkins lymphoma on trial anti cd40 chemo protocol with a complicated medical history including copd and m. xenopi infection as well as multiple recent pneumonias who presented with sepsis requiring brief icu stay in the setting of a mrsa pneumonia. treated with vancomycin and completed course. developed c. diff and was treated with oral vancomycin starting , total duration of treatment should be 2 weeks every 6 hours. patient should then continue on prophylaxis of vancomycin 125mg po bid indefinitely. patient was discharged in stable condition to rehab with oncology follow up. #. mrsa pneumonia, sepsis: given the patient's hypoxia and right-sided pleuritic chest pain upon presentation, a cta was done which failed to find a pe. the patient completed a 14 day course of vancomycin during which his clinical status as well as his pleuritic chest pain improved dramatically. by the end of his treatment course he was able to ambulate on room air without desaturation. on , a ct abdomen was done to investigate diarrhea but ended up noting a loculated effusion at the lung base. pulmonary was consulted and given than effusion was deceasing in size, no acute intervention was necessary as he was clinically improving. recommend repeat chest ct in 2 weeks to trend size. # c.diff: on the patient began to complain of multiple loose stools with associated abdominal pain. given his persistent bandemia and recent antibiotics, a c. diff culture was sent and returned positive. he was started on po vanco for a total of 2 weeks, last dose should be the evening on and then should be continued indefinitely as above. additionally, he was treated with ivig on given persisently low igg levels. #. hypotension: the patient's home diltiazem was held given his initial hypotension. once his clinical status improved however, he was persistently tachycardic and orthostatic. stim test was within normal limits as was tsh. every attempt was made to maintain euvolemia without third spacing in the setting of hypoalbuminemia. he was started on with slight improvement. a tte was repeated and showed decreased lv and rv function. a cardiology consult was called and recommended uptitrating beta-blockage in the setting of a multi-factorial atrial and multi-focal atrial tachycardia from deconditioning, copd, and progressive failure to thrive. #. acute on chronic renal failure: improved to stage 1 ckd with attainment of euvolemia. #. non hodgkins lymphoma: continued on prophylactic acyclovir and fluconazole as well as monthly pentamidine. he was also given a dose of ivig. per his primary oncologist, the cd40 study drug could not be obtained for the patient until 2 weeks after his completion of antibiotics (to end ). while in the hospital, the patient noted a new, right-sided supraclavicular lymph node. this node was monitored and remained approximately 1.5 by 0.5 cm in size. ct head and neck were done without contrast to evaluate for progression of disease and did not show any obvious progression. patient to have repeat echocardiogram and will follow up with his primary oncologist further treatment. # copd: with long smoking history, currently without cigarettes for last 4 months. he was continued on home fluticasone and combivent and nebs prn. # mycobacterium xenopi: the patient was continued on azithromycin q tuesday. # ftt, aspiration: has been on going since , head imaging and lp at that time were unrevealing. unclear cause of aspiration, likely secondary to overall poor conditioning. the patient was maintained on tube feeds via his g-tube. he was evaluated by speech and swallow by bedside and video swallow at which time he was noted to be aspirating all types of foods and liquids. the patient was adament that he continue to be allowed occasional drinks po. he was given swallowing exercises and continued to work with the speech therapy team on techniques to improve his swallowing and allow for eventual advancement of po intake. his repeat video swallow on showed slight improvement but continued aspiration. he was kept npo except for sips of tea as patient was insistent on drinking tea and unwilling

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: sulfa(sulfonamide antibiotics) attending: chief complaint: sdh major surgical or invasive procedure: right craniotomy history of present illness: hpi: yo woman brought in by ambulance s/p fall. she reportedly is on plavix and lives in a but there are no records for our review. a head ct was performed which reveals a large right acute sdh. neurosurgery consult for evaluation. past medical history: pmhx: unable to obtain social history: social hx: unable to obtain family history: family hx: unable to obtain physical exam: physical exam: o: t: 96.4 bp: 228/134 hr: 114 r 16 o2sats 99% 3l gen: laying on stretcher heent: pupils: perrl neck: hard collar in place extrem: warm and well-perfused. neuro: mental status: lethargic, eo to voice. orientation: oriented to person motor: full strength right, left following simple commands pertinent results: mri head bilateral subdurals are identified, right greater than left side, which are predominantly low intensity and likely residual. they are unchanged in size compared to the prior study of . a right frontal area of parenchymal contusion and right subinsular region of blood products due to trauma and contusion are again identified and demonstrate evolution. faint hyperintensity in the medial right occipital lobe on diffusion images does not have the characteristic of an acute infarct and could be related to patient's injury and likely now apparent. brain atrophy and extensive soft tissue changes in the sinuses and mastoid air cells are identified as described above. no enhancing brain lesions are seen. cxr findings: comparison is made to previous study from . there is an og tube whose distal tip has been advanced. the side port and tip are within the superior fundus of the stomach and the tip is pointing cephalad. there remain bilateral pleural effusions and element of pulmonary edema which is stable. a left retrocardiac opacity is also identified. ct brain findings: the patient is status post evacuation of the right subdural hemorrhage. there is more hyperdensity in the right subdural collection which may represent re-distribution of blood products with the interval decreased pneumocephalus versus new blood. small intraparenchymal hemorrhages in the right frontal region (2:18), posterior right frontal lobe near the vertex (2:23, 2:24) and in the right external capsule (2:13) are unchanged from mri . the subdural collection causes mild effacement of adjacent sulci and mild compression on the right lateral ventricle, but this is improved from . there is 6mm leftward shift of normally midline structures, previously 10mm. tiny blood in the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles is unchanged from . the small focus of left parafalcine hemorrhage is no longer visualized. basal cisterns are patent. -white matter differentiation is preserved. craniotomy changes are again seen. there is mucosal thickening in the ethmoid air cells and partial opacification of the right mastoid air cells. an air-fluid level in the left sphenoid sinus is new from . impression: overall, decrease in size of right subdural collection with decreased pneumocephalus and decreased mass effect. leftward shift of midline structures is 6mm, previously 10mm. hyperdensity within the collection may represent re-distribution of post-surgical blood products versus new blood. numerous small intraparenchymal hemorrhages and tiny intraventricular blood are unchanged from . cxr: impression: no significant interval change. cxr: much of the opacification projected over the left lower hemithorax is due to fluid-filled stomach that is either herniated or beneath the chronically elevated left hemidiaphragm, but it obscures what is probably a substantially atelectatic left lower lobe and perhaps some pleural effusion. atelectasis in the right lower lung and small right pleural effusion have developed since , worsened since . the heart is moderately enlarged. thoracic aorta is generally enlarged and calcified. an enteric tube ends in the lower esophagus or proximal stomach above the level of the right hemidiaphragm. right pic line ends in the mid svc. no pneumothorax. radiology chest port. line placem impression: interval improvement of left apical opacity. otherwise, unchanged from prior exam. newly placed right-sided picc line ends in the mid svc. radiology chest (portable ap) findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. extensive left parenchymal opacity, minimal right basal parenchymal opacity, likely atelectatic in nature. unchanged moderate cardiomegaly, unchanged position of the nasogastric tube and the endotracheal tube. no pneumothorax. radiology wrist(3 + views) left p impression: marked degenerative changes at the first cmc joint. no acute fracture or dislocation. radiology clavicle left port known comminuted fracture of the medial left clavicle is near-occult on the current images. if clinically indicated, a dedicated clavicle ct would be best to demonstrate this. radiology mr head w/o contrast impression: 1. no obvious acute infarction, allowing for the artifacts from the blood products. bilateral subdural fluid collections, right more than left, along with scattered areas of negative susceptibility related to blood products in the adjacent parenchyma as described above in the right cerebral hemisphere and the right cerebellar hemisphere. 2. mucosal thickening and fluid in the mastoid air cells on both sides. correlate clinically. radiology portable abdomen no metallic foreign bodies detected within the abdomen, through the level of the lower pelvis. the pubic symphysis and obturator foramina are excluded from this view. radiology chest (portable ap) impression: 1. et tube in satisfactory position. 2. interstitial edema. 3. atypical opacity in the left mid and lower zones raising the question of gastric and/or diaphragmatic hernia. ng tube as described. this appearance is similar to at 12:24 p.m. if clinically indicated, abdominal ct could help for further assessment. radiology gleno-humeral shoulder impression: 1. no evidence of acute fracture or dislocation. 2. left perihilar opacity not well evaluated on this study. dedicated chest radiographs would be helpful for further evaluation. radiology ct head w/o contrast impression: 1. improved mass effect with improved but persistent leftward shift of normally midline structures. 2. interval evacuation of right subdural hemorrhage with residual hypodense collection layering along the right cerebral convexity and large pneumocephalus, which is likely postoperative. 3. small foci of hyperdensity along the right frontal and temporal convexities, which likely represent subarachnoid/adjacent parenchymal hemorrhage. 4. small left frontal parafalcine subdural hemorrhage, new from prior. radiology chest (portable ap) impression: 1. endotracheal tube tip projecting 4 cm above the carina. 2. marked elevation of the left hemidiaphragm with likely stomach and/or bowel beneath. query diaphragmatic hernia, diaphragmatic injury/rupture can not be excluded. recommend clinical correlation, correlation with any prior chest imaging, and consider ct for further evaluation. radiology ct head w/o contrast impression: 1. acute moderate sized right subdural hematoma maximally measuring 20 mm in width, with significant mass effect and 13 mm leftward shift of midline structures. 2. no acute fractures radiology ct c-spine w/o contrast impression: no acute cervical spine fracture or malalignment. subtle ground-glass opacities along the fissure in the left upper lobe, may represent areas of atelectasis. cardiovascular ecg pathology tissue: subdural clot. , m. not finalized brief hospital course: pt was admitted to the hospital through the ed. she was brought to the or emergently for evacuation of right sdh. she was given platelets as she was on plavix at home. she underwent the procedure without complication except for an episode of hypertension. when she was evaluated postoperatively her right pupil was noted to be dilated and non reactive. a stat head ct was performed and was stable with post operative changes as expected. she was transferred to the nicu intubated. an mri of the brain was performed and did not demonstrated any teritorial infarcts. her exam was very slow to improve. orthopedics consultation was called for left clavicle fracture which was placed in a sling. they were also contact for left wrist swelling. this imaging revealed old fractures without acute fracture. a family meeting was held on and goals of care were discussed. it was decided that we would wait a week to see the progression that mrs makes and at that time goals of care would be re-discussed. she remained neurologically unchanged until . because there has been no significant change in her neurological condition, a family meeting took place on . neurology evaluated the pt and a decision was made to hold sz meds as there was a concern that they might be sedating her. her exam remained mostly unchanged over the weekend. she had an eeg which showed right sided discharges and so she was placed back on keppra per neurology recs. patient showed some spikes on eeg monitoring concerning for seizure activity and was placed on keppra 500mg . after being placed on keppra, eeg remained negative for seziures and monitoring was discontinued. her exam remains poor. on , mri head was ordered for evaluation of stroke and was negative. her exam remained poor and with family discussion it was decided to not pursue further care. she was extubated on and expired on . medications on admission: -plavix 75 mg daily -hctz 25 mg daily -levothyroxine 50 mcg daily -simvastatin 80

patient received an ng tube, jp drain for the neck, and right chest tube. the patient tolerated the procedure well. he was taken to the pacu, where he had no events, so he was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit for monitoring overnight. he was kept npo with iv fluids for hydration, and dilaudid pca for pain control. he had no acute events while in the surgical icu, and he progressed well, so he was transferred to the surgical floor on . on , the patient was having some throat discomfort (mostly attributed to the ng tube) and difficulty mobilizing , the ent service was consulted, and they found him to have normal vocal folds without evidence of paralysis. the patient was given humidified air, which was effective at helping him mobilize to his satisfaction. on the patient had a radiographic swallow study that demonstrated no leak of or stricture at the anastamosis. he was started on sips, which he tolerated well. he passed gas. pain control was transitioned to roxicet via j tube. on , it was noted that the jp drain fluid was somewhat darker and cloudier than previously, so the fluid was sent for amylase, which was found to be normal at 15. the patient was transitioned from sips to a clear liquid diet, which he tolerated well without nausea or vomiting. he had a semi-loose bowel movment, and he ambulated throughout the day without difficulty. on , the

however, the mb fraction was low. it was felt that this was secondary to difficult hemostasis status post sheath removal after his cardiac catheterization. it was not felt to be related to continued coronary ischemia. in light of this elevation of creatine kinase levels, the patient underwent an ultrasound of his right groin in order to rule out pseudoaneurysm formation. this was negative. 2. carotid artery disease issues: the patient underwent bilateral carotid doppler ultrasound on . this showed right internal carotid stenosis of 80% to 99%, left internal carotid artery stenosis of 80% to 99%, and left internal carotid artery stenosis of 70% to 79%. it was felt that the patient's carotid stenosis could be contributing to his bradycardia. a magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance angiography of the patient's head and neck was planned to further evaluate his carotid disease, but this was unable to be obtained secondary to the patient's recent coronary artery stent placement. the patient was seen by the vascular surgery service regarding his asymptomatic carotid stenosis and was felt not to be a surgical candidate in light of his need to continue plavix for three months status post carotid artery stent placement. therefore, the patient underwent carotid stent placement via a subclavian angiography on . he underwent a baseline computed tomography scan of the head which was negative prior to this intervention. he was also seen in consultation by the neurology stroke service. they performed serial examinations before and after his carotid artery stent placement. status post carotid artery stent placement, the patient was monitored in the coronary care unit overnight; specifically, to maintain blood pressure values in the 120 to 150 range in case he needed pressor support. overall, the patient tolerated the right internal carotid artery stent placement well with no neurologic events. he was transferred to the floor on . on the floor, he underwent neurologic check every four hours. his losartan dose was decreased to 25 mg by mouth once per day in order to maintain a systolic blood pressure in the 120 to 150 range. he was continued on aspirin and was to continue plavix therapy for life. 3. sinus bradycardia issues: initially, the patient was admitted for evaluation and likely pacemaker placement. however, the pacemaker evaluation was postponed pending evaluation of the patient's coronary arteries and carotid arteries. as reported above, the patient underwent stenting to the mid left anterior descending artery and distal right coronary artery. the patient also underwent stenting to the right internal coronary artery. this resulted in a subsequent increase in his heart rate. at that point, it was felt that the patient no longer warranted emergent pacemaker placement. he was discharged to home on of hearts monitor in order to further evaluate his heart rate for any evidence of symptomatic bradycardia. he was to follow up in three weeks with dr. for further evaluation. 4. type 2 diabetes mellitus issues: throughout his hospital stay, the patient was maintained on a regular insulin sliding-scale. his outpatient oral hypoglycemic regimen was initiated prior to discharge, and he tolerated this well. 5. right lung nodule issues: the patient had evidence of a right upper lung nodule of 9 mm in diameter. this was seen on a baseline computed tomography of the chest that was evaluated during this admission. per radiology, it was recommended that the patient undergo a follow-up computed tomography scan in three months in order to assess for interval change. if an interval change does occur, the patient should undergo an outpatient evaluation of the mass including a possible oncologic workup. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was fair. discharge status: the patient's discharge status was to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. bradycardia. 2. coronary artery disease. 3. carotid artery stenosis. 4. hypertension. 5. type 2 diabetes mellitus. 6. lung nodule. 7. chronic renal insufficiency. 8. anemia secondary to acute blood loss. medications on discharge: 1. plavix 75 mg by mouth once per day. 2. pantoprazole 40 mg by mouth once per day. 3. lipitor 10 mg by mouth once per day. 4. aspirin 325 mg by mouth once per day. 5. avandia 4 mg by mouth once per day. 6. losartan 20 mg by mouth once per day. 7. glyburide 3 mg by mouth twice per day. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was instructed to make an appointment with dr. (telephone number ) for three weeks after discharge. 2. the patient was also instructed to make an appointment with dr. for three months after discharge. 3. the patient already had a follow-up appointment scheduled with his primary care physician (dr. ) in the building on at 10:20 a.m. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 16:11 t: 09:02 job#: procedure: injection or infusion of platelet inhibitor left heart cardiac catheterization coronary arteriography using a single catheter angioplasty of other non-coronary vessel(s) arteriography of cerebral arteries angiocardiography of right heart structures insertion of non-drug-eluting peripheral (non-coronary) vessel stent(s) insertion of drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) diagnoses: coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery esophageal reflux unspecified essential hypertension diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled hematoma complicating a procedure occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery without mention of cerebral infarction other specified cardiac dysrhythmias other specified surgical operations and procedures causing abnormal patient reaction, or later complication, without mention of misadventure at time of operation other diseases of lung, not elsewhere classified Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 62-year-old woman with vulvar cancer originally diagnosed in , status post surgical resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, coronary artery disease, and severe dilated cardiomyopathy, who presented to the hospital on with perineal pain and was noted to have genital, perineal, and sacral decubitus ulcers. she was evaluated by plastic service, general surgery, and gynecology and was planned for in no acute distress with diverting colostomy. the patient was noted to have signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure on admission; however, diuresis was deferred secondary to a question of dehydration. the patient was placed on antibiotic coverage for a possible skin infection as well as urinary tract infection. further studies revealed a large right-sided pleural effusion, hepatic congestion, as well as a left hip incision draining sinus from a previous total hip replacement. there was evidence of periosteal elevation on pelvic plain films concerning for osteomyelitis and potential septic hip joint. on the morning of , the patient was noted to become acutely short of breath. she was placed on a nonrebreather, and systolic blood pressures were in the 90s. an arterial blood gas revealed a ph of 7.3, pco2 was 23, and po2 was 67. the patient was given 20 mg of intravenous lasix without effect and was subsequently transferred to the intensive care unit. past medical history: 1. vulvar cancer. 2. coronary artery disease; status post cardiac catheterization in , status post percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent of the left anterior descending artery. 3. cardiomyopathy; echocardiogram in revealed severe global left ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of less than 20%, severe mitral regurgitation, and moderate pulmonary hypertension. 4. bilateral total hip replacements. 5. seizure disorder. 6. upper gastrointestinal bleed in . 7. splenic artery aneurysm, status post embolization. social history: the patient reportedly lived at home alone with a home health aide. she was relatively immobile secondary to severe degenerative arthritis. family history: family history was noncontributory. physical examination on presentation: physical examination on admission to the intensive care unit revealed an alert, elderly, tachypneic woman on 100 nonrebreather. temperature was 95.5, heart rate was 100, blood pressure was 90/70, spo2 was 91% to 93% on 100% nonrebreather. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat revealed sclerae were anicteric. pupils were 3 mm and symmetric. chest revealed bilateral rales three quarters of the way up bilaterally. heart was regular, tachycardic. jugular venous pulsations to the angle of the jaw. heart sounds were distant. the abdomen was mildly distended, nontender. extremities revealed 3+ pitting edema, cool. no cyanosis. perineum revealed extensive excoriation, erythema, and ulcerations on the labia bilaterally. the posterior vulva by skin folds extending medially, perianally, and in the sacral regions. neurologically, tarda dyskinesia was present. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: laboratories on admission to the intensive care unit revealed white blood cell count was 12.6, hematocrit was 31.6, platelets were 398. pt was 15.6, ptt was 28.8, inr was 1.2. sodium was 126, potassium was 5.2, chloride was 98, bicarbonate was 16, blood urea nitrogen was 22, creatinine was 0.9, blood glucose was 86. albumin was 2.5, phosphate was 2.6, calcium was 7.8, magnesium was 1.6. alt was 219, ast was 469, alkaline phosphatase was 137, total bilirubin was 0.6. arterial blood gas revealed a ph of 7.3, pco2 was 23, po2 was 67. radiology/imaging: a chest x-ray revealed a dilated heart, pulmonary edema. electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia, a left bundle-branch block, with more prominent t waves precordially and increased st depressions in v6. hospital course: this is a 62-year-old woman with coronary artery disease, and severe dilated cardiomyopathy, and a history of vulvar cancer who presented to the hospital with a perineal ulcer. she was noted to be in mild congestive heart failure on presentation. she was treated with ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection and covered with cefazolin for possible infection in the perineum. she was seen by general surgery, plastic service, and gynecology and was planned for surgical intervention with incision and drainage and a diverting colostomy. the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit on for acute shortness of breath with a primary metabolic acidosis and secondary respiratory alkalosis. examination and chest x-ray were consistent with congestive heart failure. the patient was diuresed with lasix and placed on nitrates. she was placed on supplemental oxygen and received a trial of bipap which she was unable to tolerate. she was diuresed over 1100 cc over the first day in the intensive care unit; though this was limited by concomitant hypotension. she was evaluated by the cardiology service given her severe dilated cardiomyopathy with congestive heart failure and hypotension. they recommended placement of a swan-ganz catheter prior to initiation of tailored therapy. the patient continued to be markedly short of breath and desaturated with increased fio2 requirements. she was electively intubated. following intubation, and mechanical ventilation, the patient continued to do poorly. her fio2 requirements continued to increase, and she became hypotensive to the 70s. the patient was initiated on a levophed drip. a left subclavian line was attempted to be placed with a pa catheter. this was no successful. a follow-up chest x-ray revealed the patient had developed a large left-sided tension pneumothorax. a needle decompression was performed. the patient's family was kept informed of the ensuing events and decided to make the patient comfort measures only given her overall clinical status and declining quality of life over the past several years. a thoracostomy tube was declined. the patient's epinephrine drip was weaned to off. the patient subsequently became hypotensive. the patient died on at 12:50 p.m. her son, , was present at the bedside at the time of her death. the family declined a postmortem examination. discharge diagnoses: 1. vulvar cancer. 2. perineal ulcer. 3. congestive heart failure. 4. coronary artery disease. 5. severe dilated cardiomyopathy. 6. urinary tract infection. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified insertion of endotracheal tube arterial catheterization diagnoses: other primary cardiomyopathies cellulitis and abscess of trunk unspecified pleural effusion congestive heart failure, unspecified hyposmolality and/or hyponatremia candidiasis of vulva and vagina Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

the prior study (images reviewed) of , the severity of mitral regurgitation is increased and the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is higher. brief hospital course: 68 y/o lady with cirrhosis thought to be secondary to methotrexate, dm, rheumatoid arthritis, presented with ascitic fluid (~1-2 l) leaking through umblical hernia repair site initially but resolved with diuretics. no evidence of sbp and cultures taken from ostomy bag over leaking site showing diptheroids were likely due to contaminants. cell count from ostomy bag on was negative for sbp. ascites/leak were managed medically. tips was put on hold (patient not encephalopathic, with normal ruq ultrasound and echo but elevated tbili, making tips procedure more risky). she developed a cough with likely pneumonia seen on cxr. iv vanco and zosyn were administered. in addition a cellulitis around the periumbilical site was noted. this improved with diuresis and iv antibiotics. other problems included development of hepatorenal syndrome. a repeat cardiac echo showed increased mr (+ and higher pa pressures) concerning for worsening fluid overload. she developed worsening doe/chronic cough on , felt to be multifactorial (asthma, gerd, fluid overload). on , a liver donor from cardiac death became available. she underwent liver transplant with two jp drains placed. surgeon was dr. . please refer to operative note for details. induction immunosuppression was administered. postop, she was transferred to the sicu intubated. postop liver duplex demonstrated patent hepatic vasculature. there was some turbulence and elevated velocity seen within the main portal vein. a short-term interval followup ultrasound is recommended. a small amount of perihepatic fluid seen just anterior to the liver was noted. lfts continued to improved. blood products were adminitstered. hematocrit stabilized. cvvhd was continued for volume overload until renal function improved with urine output increasing to ~ 1-1.5 liters/day. she had a brief episode of bradycardiaasystole when suctioned while on spontaneous breathing trial. extubation placed on hold until . she was extubated without event. last cvvhd was done on . some bleeding was noted at the medial portion of the incision. a few staples were removed and a wound vac placed, but this did not hold suction therefore a dressing was applied. on , she had a brief episode of afib treated with iv amiodarone. cardiology was consulted recommending amiodarone which was started. she converted back to sinus rhythm. mi was ruled out. an echo was done noting a wall motion abnormality possibly related to an old infarct. aspirin and metoprolol were recommmended and initiated. diet was slowly advanced, but given poor intake, a feeding tube was placed . on xray, this was noted to be curled in stomach. tube feeds were started using . jp drains were removed around postop days 8 & 9. the feeding tube was adjusted on successfully placing this tube into the duodenum. immunosuppression consisted of initial solumedrol that was tapered to 20mg of prednisone on postop day 6. cellcept was started preop. this required adjustment due to some diarrhea. stool was sent for c.diff and was negative x3. dose was divided to 500mg qid with improved tolerance. prograf was started on postop day 1. daily trough levels were done with levels acceptable at 10.5-11. dose was stable at 1mg . physical therapy was consulted and worked with her recommend a platform walker. while in the sicu, course complicated by notation of a right radial nerve palsy likely related to positioning. neurology evaluated and recommended ot. no limitations in weight weight bearing were recommended. ot fabricated an orthoplast splint for the right wrist. she became more ambulatory with just contact guard using platform walker. rehab was recommended and a bed was obtained at . a picc line had been placed on . this was removed just prior to discharge. she will transfer to today with

freeca-0.86* brief hospital course: from the icu, a repeat ct torso was performed which showed complete occlusion of the celiac axis and sma resulting in ischemia to the entire small bowel and the proximal half of the colon. the patient was therefore taken to the or and resection of nearly all of the small bowel was performed. the proximal margin of resection was approximately 20 cm distal to the ligament of treitz. the distal margin resection was approximately 10cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. the vascular team was consulted for assessment of residual mesenteric blood flow with possibility of preserving viability to the upper gi tract if the celiac artery could be revascularized. however, they found could only see a stump of the superior mesenteric artery and no evidence of distal reconstitution. the celiac artery was not visualized and there was no evidence of flow in the distal branch of the celiac artery. the was patent. the patient returned to the or the next day for a second look and washout. because they looked non-viable, more of the proximal small bowel was resected (10cm) and an extended r hemicolectomy and cholecystectomy were also performed. post-operatively, the patient was maintained on pressors. she was started on cvvhd. the transplant team was consulted for consideration of small bowel transplantation. however, this procedure was not performed by the transplant surgeons and the patient's family was referred to other programs that offered adult small bowel transplant. however, after a family meeting in which the patient's prognosis was discussed, it was decided to make the patient cmo. the patient was taken off the ventilator and expired shortly after. medications on admission: atenolol 50mg qam and 25mg qpm, biotin 1mg''',

findings: a dobbhoff tube is seen terminating within the fundus of the stomach. there is a paucity of small bowel gas. air within the transverse colon is noted. impression: dobbhoff tube within the fundus of the stomach. ct head : findings: patient is status post right frontal craniotomy with postoperative pneumocephalus and subcutaneous gas. the patient has undergone a partial resection of the right frontal lobe. subjacent to the resection site, linear hyperdensity reflects postoperative blood. intermingling with this hyperdensity is an area of hypodensity, likely representing postoperative edema. this results in mild mass effect with subtle effacement of the right lateral ventricle. the contralateral lateral ventricle is unremarkable. apart from the perisurgical site, there is no intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect are vascular territorial infarction. soft tissue structures reflect the aforementioned postoperative changes and are otherwise unremarkable. a moderate amount of fluid is seen layering in the nasopharynx posteriorly, likely related to the patient's intubation. fluid is also seen posteriorly in the right sphenoid sinus. otherwise, the visualized paranasal sinuses are clear. impression: postoperative change following a right frontal craniotomy and resection as detailed above. mri brain : again seen is a 7.1 x 4.5 right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage demonstrating a fluid-fluid level (series 7, image 16). degenerative changes dimension and 6.1 x 3.6. hemorrhages are similar size to prior and there is a mild rim enhancement consistent with a hematoma. there is an acute right frontal subarachnoid hemorrhage. on the left, gradient echo sequences suggest a left frontal subarachnoid hemorrhage with superficial siderosis consistent with previous bleeding episode(s). there is effacement of right lateral ventricle and mild 4-mm leftward shift. on pre- contrast t1 sequences, mild periventricular white matter changes consistent with chronic microvascular ischemic disease are again seen. ventricles, sulci, and cisterns are unchanged. osseous marrow signal appears grossly normal. there is a right limb prosthesis. two tiny foci demonstrating negative susceptibility in the right occipital lobe (series 6, images 15 & 17) may represent foci of microhemorrhage likely associated with amyloid. impression: 1. similar appearance of right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage, with fluid-fluid level. 2. right subarachnoid hemorrhage. left subarachnoid hemorrhage with superficial siderosis suggest previous bleeding episode(s). 3. foci of gre blooming in the right occipital lobe suggestive of microbleeds associated with amyloid. 4. periventricular white matter changes consistent with small vessel ischemic disease. mra circle of : a left dominant vertebral artery is demonstrated. the circle of is intact without evidence of significant stenosis involving the intracranial vertebral and carotid arteries and their major branches. no vascular anomalies including avm or aneurysm. impression: 1. study is significantly limited by motion artifact and was terminated prior to completion, with no contrast-enhanced imaging. 2. large right frontal lobe parenchymal hemorrhage is slightly larger, with signal characteristics suggestive of evolving acute hemorrhage. 3. blood-fluid level at time of presentation may be seen in patients who are receiving therapeutic anticoagulation or have coagulopathy secondary to medical conditions. 4. small regions of subarachnoid hemorrhage surround this large parenchymal hemorrhage which may be seen in amyloid angiopathy, with involvement of overlying pial vessels. no gre susceptibility sequence was obtained to evaluate for peripheral microhemorrhages which would support this diagnosis. 5. mra of the circle of demonstrates no vascular abnormalities. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the icu with aphasia and confusion. a large mass was seen on imaging. the mass appeared to be at least partially hemorrhagic in nature. the patient was extremely agitated and was confused. therefore he required intubation for his mri. since he was scheduled for surgery the following day he remained intubated. he had a craniotomy for mass resection on . at the time of surgery, it appeared that the "mass" was blood products and not a tumor. the pathology is pending at this time. the patient was extubated on and had left sided weakness but the strength was improving. the patient became more alert and was following commands on the following days. he was transferred out of the icu and passed speech and swallow evaluation. pt/ot recommended rehab. he was discharged on to an appropriate facility. medications on admission: glucovance simvastatin asa 81mg daily, but wife doesn't

Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 72 year old woman with a history of hocm, chf, diabetes mellitus who had been complaining of right upper quadrant pain for three weeks. she went to the emergency department where patient became acutely short of breath. ct angio shows no signs of pulmonary embolism. patient was found to be in pulmonary edema. right upper quadrant ultrasound on the 18th showed echogenic parenchyma suggestive of fatty infiltration of the liver. no intrahepatic biliary dilatation. gallbladder normal without stones or evidence of cholecystitis. patient was admitted where she responded to lasix with improvement of her respiratory status. patient normally is on high doses of lasix, aldactone and verapamil. patient was started on carvedilol. she had an echo done on which showed normal lv systolic function, low peak lv outflow tract gradient of 14 mm, mild lvh. her clinical status improved until the night of when she was noted to start getting dizzy. patient had massive melena and hemoptysis of 600 cc of bright red blood. patient was transferred to the micu where endoscopy was performed and showed a massive clot in the stomach mucosa consistent with portal gastropathy. it also showed grade 2 varices in the lower third of the esophagus. patient had three endoscopies performed on the 25th. two bands were successfully placed on the grade 2 varices in the lower esophagus. status post banding of the esophageal varices patient's hematocrit stabilized. patient had required frequent transfusions of packed red blood cells and ffp to maintain normal inr. patient's hematocrit had remained stable and her stools progressively had less melena. she was continued on ppi. hepatic failure. patient has long standing cryptogenic cirrhosis leading to portal hypertension. patient's gi bleed caused shock liver which led to fulminant hepatic failure. ast and alt rose to the thousands. patient had the ascites tapped which showed saag greater than 1.1 consistent with portal hypertension. patient's transaminases resolved in the ensuing days after her initial hypotensive shock and her blood pressure was maintained normal. however, she became encephalopathic. she was started on lactulose for hepatic encephalopathy and over the ensuing week showed improvement in her mental status. patient was also started on nadolol for portal hypertension. patient was electively intubated for airway protection. however, she became vent dependent secondary to fluid overload secretions and decreased central draws. patient required a vent placed on and increasingly required higher peep in order to maintain lungs from collapsing in the setting of increasing intra-abdominal pressure. infection. patient developed staph aureus pneumo and uti. she was started on clindamycin and levaquin of which she completed a 14 day course. patient gradually became hypotensive and her urine output began to fall. she went into renal failure. she was boluses normal saline, however, to third space. swan-ganz catheter was placed to assess fluid status and it was found that patient had good cardiac output and low svr. patient was given packed red blood cells to help improve cardiac pressure, however, her renal failure continued to worsen. it was felt that patient likely had hepatorenal syndrome. she became increasingly fluid loaded up 30 liters from admission. it was decided that patient should be started on cvvhd to help with fluid removal. patient also tolerated lasix and zaroxolyn and was able to remove fluid. she was on cvvhd, however, her urine output dropped off even further and her creatinine continued to rise. cvvhd was discontinued. thrombocytopenia. platelets had fallen. heparin was discontinued. heparin antibodies were sent off, however, it was found that they were negative. it was felt that thrombocytopenia was likely secondary to hypersplenism. on patient's clinical status was discussed with the family. her poor prognosis was described. patient's family requested withdrawal of care and comfort measures only. patient was taken off all medications. she was put on a morphine drip. patient was taken off the ventilator at family's request. patient expired the evening of secondary to cardiac arrest from hypoxia. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified

waxing/ mental status. sepsis still thought to be most likely etiology so fluid boluses and empiric abx were continued. patient then became acutely tachycardic to 140's, with stable bp. ekg was w/ sinus tachy, old inferior qwaves. it was at that time that patient passed a large, loose, melanic stool. he had no previous history of gi bleed and had not been complaining of abdominal pain/distention throughout the day. 2 units of prbc's were ordered, stat hct was sent, which was 25 from 37 earlier in the day. given all of this, a right subclavian line was attempted and placed after 3 attempts w/o complication. line had to be pulled back 4 cm on cxr. this was done. meanwhile, patient given successive ivf boluses to a total of approximately 6 l ns, in addition to the 2 units of prbc's. . throughout the above events, patient's mental status began to deteriorate and given his worsening hemodynamic instability, anesthesia was called and the patient was intubated w/o

ulcerative colitis who presents with an anterior stemi now s/p cardiac catheterization and 2 des to lad. . active issues: # stemi: pt initially presented to with chest pain and ekg showing anterior stemi. he was started on aspirin, plavix, heparin and nitro gtt and transferred to for cardiac catheterization. the catheterization revealed thrombus in the lad which was removed, and 2 des were placed. during the procedure the pt experienced chest pain and st elevations due to the jailing of a diagonal branch. flow was restored with poba but was imperfect as st segments in v4-v6, i, and avl were still elevated. the pt was admitted to the ccu post procedure on integrillin drip for 12 hours post procedure. cardiac enzymes peaked at ckmb 10.7 and troponin 3.35. he was also medically treated with aspirin, plavix, metoprolol, atorvastatin and nitro drip. medications were optimized by increasing his dose of beta blocker and adding and an ace. echo showed ef of 35-40%. repeat ekgs showed improvement in st elevations present post catherization. at time of discharge the patient had been chest pain free for 3 days. he has scheduled follow up with primary care and cardiology. . # pump: the patient had no clinical evidence of heart failure post stemi, however echo showed ef of 35-40%. beta blocker and ace were started. . # rhythm: patient remained in sinus rhythm during hospitalization. he had one episode of nsvt (8 beats) within 48 hours of catheterization. there were no further recurrences of abnormal rhythm. . # back pain - secondary to lying on cath lab table for almost 4 hours. given morphine for pain. at time of discharge was pain free not requiring any analgesics. . chronic issues # ulcerative colitis - continued home lialda. . transitional issues: - patient will be notified for cardiology follow up appointment with dr. . he will need a repeat echo 6 weeks after discharge to evaluate heart function. - patient has an appointment with his primary

64/ 16/ -14 brief hospital course: 69 y/o gentleman with chronic lymphocytic leukemia s/p chemotherapy and recent use of prednisone, was admitted to with fevers of 104, sepsis and respiratory distress. given patient's immunocompromised state due to advanced cancer and prednisone use, infectious etiologies of fever are most likely. due to presentation of respiratory difficulty, cough and high fever, pulmonary infectious processes such as bacterial pneumonia, (especially w/ encapsulated organisms like strep pneumo) pcp pneumonia or influenza are highly likely, or his pulmonary infiltrates seen on cxr could be due to inflammatory vascular leak causing an ards type picture. legionella is another possibility given pna like symptoms in conjunction w/ diarrhea or diarrhea itself could be caused by c. diff colitis or bacterial or viral etiologies. cva tenderness and fever could point to pyelonephritis as a potential source of infection. another possibility is aggressive transformation of his malignancy such as transformation which would be characterized by high fever, elevated ldh and association with previous fludarabine use. : mr. fevers and hypotension were likely due to sepsis, complicated by underlying malignancy and immunosuppression. on day of admission , patient was febrile to 104, had wbc of 310, with hr in 150s-160s. he was diaphoretic, tachycardic and tachypneic and was having difficulty speaking in complete sentences due to respiratory distress. he was given a cooling blanket and broad-spectrum antibiotics (vancomycin, levofloxacin and zosyn) were initiated. patient was pan-cultured, and given ivf for hydration with 1 l ns boluses. he developed increased work of breathing and went into atrial fibrillation with heart rate in the 160s, refractory to low-dose diltiazem, so amiodarone drip was started. patient eventually went into sinus rhythm on amiodarone drip, but due to oxygen desaturations and increased work of breathing, decision was made to intubate. patient's daughter notified of intubation. anesthesia arrived to intubate patient at assist/cmv at vt 500 x 30 rr, peep 15, 100% fio2. he was given fentanyl and midazolam for sedation. a left internal jugular central line and right radial arterial line were placed emergently due to hypotension. infectious disease and oncology were consulted who evaluated the patient while intubated. patient's blood pressures continued to drop with systolic pressures in the 70s and 80s, so levophed was initiated, and titrated til it was at maximum dose. serial arterial blood gasses were measured and patient was profoundly acidotic, with mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis having ph of 7.19. vasopressin was initiated as a second pressor, but only had minimal effect on blood pressure. mr. was thought to be maximally vasodilated form septic shock and he did not possess enough neutrophils to fight the infection. his repeat wbc count trended upward to 462. repeat abgs showed no improvement. dopamine was initiated as a 3rd pressor due to systolic pressures in the 60s-70s. patient was given multiple fluid boluses over night with very little effect on blood pressure and urine output. patient's urine output continued to worsen, and by the morning of , his fluid balance was 13 liters positive. blood cultures returned positive for gram positive cocci in pairs and clusters, and patient's vancomycin was changed to linezolid as per id recommendations, for better vre coverage. his zosyn was changed to meropenem for broad coverage and clindamycin was added due to its inhibitory effects on bacterial protein synthesis and therefore, action against endotoxins. patient continued to do poorly, and emergent femoral line was placed due to concern of inaccurate readings from right radial arterial line. abg on 7.13/ 45/ 64/ 16/ -14 and lactate was 5.1 . mini bal was conducted on and results later showed positivity for pneumocystis. blood cultures were later shown to grow staph aureus. the patient expired on with family at his bedside. he was pronounced by dr. and family agreed to autopsy. medications on admission: 1. lipitor 10mg daily 2. prednisone 60mg daily 3.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: chest pain/palpatations major surgical or invasive procedure: dual chamber pacemaker placement history of present illness: 68y/ w/ a pmh of cad s/p 4v cabg, htn, paf, ulcerative colitis, and hypercholesterolemia who presented today with complaints to chest pain and palpatations x 2.5hrs. he had been in his usoh until ~10am when the above symptoms developed acutely. he describes his pain as a pleuritic substernal pain that is still present currently. he denies any radiation of the pain or sob, nausea, or diaphoresis. this pain is quite different from his previous anginal equilivant of doe and pressure type cp. he notes some mild flu-like symptoms yesterday evening (muscle aches, chills, and diarrhea) but states that these have resolved since. his normal bm pattern is loose bm daily and his last bloodly bm was ~3wks ago. he denies excessive etoh intake (had 1 drink overnight) or caffeine intake outside of 1 cup of coffee daily. he is not always symptomatic with afib. . of note, the patient was admitted in with similar complaints and developed complete heart block with ~10 second pauses after being given iv metoprolol (5mg x3) and diltiazem (5mg x1) for rate control. he was sent to the ccu at this time where a dc cardioversion was planned but deferred given that he was noted to have sinus beats breaking his pauses. he spontaneously converted to nsr ~3-4 hours after admission to the ccu and remained in sinus rhythm for the remainder of his hospitalization. he has not been anticoagulated given his diagnosis of uc. . in the ed, the patient was noted to be in atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response in the 150s. he was given iv metoprolol 5mg x3 without response and was sent to the icu for further management. past medical history: 1. ulcerative colitis (s/p polypectomy w/ high grade dysplasia) 2. 4v cabg ' (lima->lad,

obvious ischemic changes and no overall significant change compared with prior dated . . 2d-echocardiogram performed on demonstrated: left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is mild mitral annular calcification. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen . ett performed on demonstrated: the patient exercised for 6 minutes of protocol and stopped for fatigue. no anginal symptoms or significant st segment changes at the achieved workload. no ecg or 2d echocardiographic evidence of inducible ischemia to achieved workload. . cxr : no overt infiltrates or chf. . cxr s/p ppm placement: analysis is performed in direct comparison with a preceding chest examination of . during the interval, the patient received a permanent pacer in left anterior axillary position. dual-electrodes system is identified and termination points correspond to right atrial appendage and apical portion of right ventricle correspondingly. there is no pneumothorax or any other placement-related complication. chest findings are unaltered. a small blunting of the left posterior pleural sinus is identified but review of a more older pa and lateral examination of , showed this blunting already. thus, there is no evidence of acute pleural effusion. impression: uncomplicated placement of dual-electrode permanent pacemaker. brief hospital course: pt is a 68y/ w/ a pmh significant for cad s/p cabg, htn, paf, uc, and hyperlipidemia who presents with chest pain and palpitations, found to be in afib/rvr. . 1) cad: s/p 4v cabg in with a normal stress echo in . complained of cp starting the morning of admission in the setting of a fib with rvr. there were no ischemic changes on ekg and he ruled out for mi with 3 sets of negative ce. the patient's chest pain resolved when his tachycardia was controlled and after he converted to nsr he remained chest pain free. he was continued on his outpatient cardiac regimen including aspirin/statin/metoprolol. . 2) atrial fibrillation: patient has had a least 3 previous episodes of atrial fibrillation and was quite sensitive to ccb during his previous admission. he was hemodynamically stable on admission despite a hr of 140s. he had no response to metoprolol 5mg iv x4 in the ed. he was not a good cardioversion subject as is occassionally asymptomatic when in afib per both the patient and dr. . given the unknown length of his afib he was started on heparin gtt. he was admitted to the ccu given his previous long pauses following bb and diltiazem in the past. he was started on an esmolol gtt and titrated to maximum dose with no improvement. this was discontinued and the patient was given an iv bolus of diltiazem and started on a dilt gtt. he initially responded to the dilt with hr in 110s-120s however he quickly returned to hr 140s-160s. he was given his home dose of metoprolol and later his rate slowed down, followed by spontaneous conversion to nsr with rate 50s-60s. he was started on coumadin with heparin bridge for stroke prevention. he then developed another episode of afib without any symptoms including chest pain. 15mg diltiazem iv was given twice with minimal effect, followed by dilt drip without effect. patient received regular dose of po metoprolol (50mg) and finally converted after additional dose of 5mg iv metoprolol while still being on dilt drip. he remained in nsr since then and was started on amiodarone. after ep consult, it was decided to place a dual-chamber ppm given that he developed another pause after the conversion to nsr from the second afib episode. after ppm placement, he was switch to sotalol given its better side effect profile compared to amiodarone. coumadin was started prior discharge. he was discharged in nsr without any symptoms. he should take keflex for one day after discharge to complete a three-day course of abx coverage for prophylaxis after ppm placement (he already received two doses of vancomycin iv while in hospital). a follow-up appointment in the device clinic was scheduled for one week after discharge. in addition, he is going to see dr. from ep five weeks after discharge for follow-up. . 3) pump: only echo in was in setting of a stress echo but normal ef at that time. the patient had no overt signs of failure on exam or cxr. he was continued on bb as above. . 4) hyperlipidemia: continued statin and fibrate. . 5) htn: patient's bp was on lower side following administration of multiple medications in attempt to rate control him, so his valsartan was initially held in this setting. he was discharged on his bb and on 80mg of valsartan to be taken daily. . 6) ulcerative colitis: currently stable and w/ normal bowel movement pattern. per the patient, his gi doctor recently said he was a candidate for anticoagulation should he require it. he was continued on colazal 2.25g tid. . 7) acute renal failure: the patient had a small bump in his cr following admission. this was thought to be pre-renal etiology in the setting of poor forward flow and decreased po intake. his cr normalized back to baseline following improvement in his po intake. . 8) fen: cardiac diet, repleted lytes prn . 9) ppx: heparin drip, coumadin, ppi . 10) access: piv x2 . 11) code: full medications

discharged on 40mg daily and continues to take this lower dose. per her family, the patient has not been herself ever since the admissions. they note that she has been fatigued and less active. . of note, the patient was admitted on for hyperkalemia. while inpatient, she was found to have an nstemi. cath showed non-intervenable two vessel disease, which was managed medically with beta blocker, aspirin, plavix, statin and blood pressure control. she was also treated for chf exacerbation. the patient was admitted again on for fatigue and generalized weakness, thought to be due to a

opacification involving portions of the right, mid and lower lung zone, consistent with pneumonia. a small area of opacification in the retrocardiac region on the left could represent a second focus of infection. the pulmonary vessels are not well defined, raising the possibility of elevated pulmonary venous pressure in this patient with persistent enlargement of the cardiac silhouette. brief hospital course: 86 yo f with h/o history of cad, htn, chf, dm, and recent hospitalizations for nstemi/chf exacerbation presents with increased doe, leg swelling and weight gain. . # respiratory distress/pneumonia: patient was admitted with shortness of breath, and le edema. she was found to have significant expiratory wheezes on exam and was started on albuterol/atrovent nebulizer treatments and as well as iv lasix with some improvement of her shortness of breath. cxr demonstrated r sided opacities c/w pneumonia and she was started on iv vancomycin and cefepime for hospital acquired pneumonia coverage. on hospital day 2, her dyspnea progressed and she had some chest pain with ekg changes and was transferred to the ccu. there, the patient required high flow o2 and her antibiotic coverage was expanded to include levofloxacin. her oxygen requirement persisted so pulmonary was consulted. they recommended chest ct, which demonstrated bilateral infiltrates concerning for aspiration pneumonia and tracheobronchomalacia. a video swallow evaluation did not support a diagnosis of aspiration and she slowly improved with broad spectrum antibiotics in the context of a negative flu swab and negative blood cultures. her o2 was weaned to 2l of nc and she was discharge to rehab after completing a 10 day course of vancomycin/cefepime. she was discharged on levofloxacin (day ), bronchodilators, and close pulmonary follow-up. . # nstemi: on hospital day two, patient developed substernal chest presure, consistent with prior epsiodes of angina. this was associated with shortness of breath. an ekg demonstrated sinus rhythm with st depressions in v2, v3 and v4. asa 325mg po and sublingual ntg were given with relief of chest pressure and resolution of ekg changes. later in the morning, she became hypoxic (86% on 4l nc) and was placed on a venti mask. repeat ekg showed recurrence of the anterior st depressions. she was given an additional dose of iv lasix 40mg, and one inch of nitroglycerin paste was placed. cardiology recommended transfer to ccu for further management. there, she eventually ruled in for mi with elevated enzymes, but no chest pain or further ekg changes. this was thought to be secondary to demand ischemia from her respiratory distress and she was medically managed with asa, carvedilol, plavix, simvastatin, integrillin, and a heparin gtt as her coronaries were not amenable to intervention. her enzymes subsequently trended down and she remained chest pain free for the remainder of her hospital stay. . # acute on chronic systolic congestive heart failure: on arrival to the floor, the patient was found to be fluid overloaded and was diuresed with lasix iv 40mg q6 hrs. she was continued on her home doses of carvedilol, imdur, & hydralazine. she then had an episode of respiratory distress as detailed above and was transferred to the ccu. in the ccu, it was felt that the patient??????s presentation not consistent with a pure exacerbation of schf, but was more consistent with a pneumonia and obtructive pulmonary process. as a result, she was continued on her home imdur/hydralazine, amlodipine, and a decreased dose of carvedilol (dose limited by low heart rate). she was started on lisinopril 10mg daily. she received prn dosing of iv lasix with good diuresis and was discharged on lasix 60mg po daily. . # acute kidney injury on chronic kidney disease: patient has stage iii-iv ckd at baseline (cr 1.6) and was admitted with a cr of 2.3. her was likely due to prerenal azotemia and poor forward flow from

(of note, the official ekg readings in omr do not describe the rhythm as vt--see ekg from at 4:23 for an example of the vt.) pt had a third episode of vt, during which she was given lidocaine with good response. discussion was had between the team, the pt, and the pt's family about whether the pt should undergo an ep study or start amiodarone empirically without an ep study. given the patient's overall clinic picture and wishes, amiodarone was started, no ep study was done. she was loaded with approximately 6grams of amiodarone. she was then continued on 200mg daily for maintenance. the patient had no further episodes of ventricular tachycardia after starting the amiodarone. of note the patient had normal thyroid & liver function prior to starting amiodarone. she is scheduled to follow-up with dr. at his office on at 2:40pm. she will likely need baseline pulmonary function tests, ophthomalogic exam, and repeat thyroid & liver function tests. * pea arrest: after the patient's third episode of vt broke, she had a severe coughing fit, and became hypoxic with 02 into the 70s. she then went into pea arrest, presumably from hypoxia, as no other cause was found. cpr was performed for less than 5 minutes before a spontaneous rhythm was achieved. however, the patient was intubated given concern over her ability to proctect her airway. the patient was intubated for less than 48hr. * coronary artery disease: pt has a remote history of an mi approximately 15yr, at which time she underwent angioplasty. prior to transfer to , she had diffuse st elevations on ekg at osh. these had resolved by time of admission here. pt was without chest pain. ce were elevated on admission & trended down. her ekgs from osh were reviewed and it was questioned whether the st elevations were from ischemia vs. repolarization change or pericarditis. given her lack of cp and overall clinical picture, it was felt that she did not need to go for cardiac catheterization. she was continued on her statin. her b-blocker (coreg) was given until she was started on amiodarone, at which time it was stopped due to bradycardia occasionally into the 40s (without symptoms). she is being discharged off of coreg. caution should be used with b-blockers given she has first degree av block and is on amiodarone. the pt refuses aspirin due to prior bleeding with it. * atrial fibrillation: rate controlled with amiodarone. coreg discontinued due to bradycardia (hr 40-50s on amio). coumadin dose decreased to 1.5mg daily (from 2.5mg) after starting amiodarone. inr on day of discharge was 2. this should be rechecked on and coumadin adjusted as necessary. * congestive heart failure: acute on chronic systolic heart failure. echo during this stay showed an ef of 30% with moderate mitral regurgitation moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation. she was diuresed with iv lasix as necessary and continued on home dose of lasix 20mg daily. on day of discharge, pt received a dose of 20mg iv lasix for slight volume overload. her aldactone (25mg daily) was also restarted on . an acei or was not started during this hospital stay due to relatively low bp (90-100); though pt would likely benefit from one of these agents in future. * cough: pt had a dry cough on admission, which ecame more severe during hospital stay. no clear pneumonia on imaging. pt thought to likely have viral lower respiratory tract infection. she was treated with standing anti-tussives and ipratropium nebulizer (avoided albuterol because of arrythmias). if cough persists, consider further evaluation with her primary care doctor. * acute renal failure: pt had episode of pre-renal failure early in her hospital stay that was thought to be from dehydration. baseline crt unknown, though was as low as 1.2 and peaked at 1.5. discharge crt 1.2. * le ulcers: stable & appear to healing slowly. pt received 7d course of abx for possible infection of le ulcer. pt has two ulcers, one on left leg & the other on the r leg. left lower leg is a traumatic ulcer approx 1.5 x 1 cm. the wound bed is 80% pink, 20% yellow. the wound edges are irregular. the periwound tissue is intact with resolving cellulitis. right lower extremity full thickness ulcer is present on anterior tibialis, approx 7 x 5.5 cm, and the wound bed is 60% yellow, 20% black, 20% pink. there is a moderate amount of serosanguinos yellow drainage with no odor. the periwound tissue is discolored, dark purple. pt seen by wound care nurse and plastic surgery. * dm: type ii, on low dose glipizide at home. was treated with insulin sliding scale. sugars well controlled. continue insulin sliding scale at rehab;

normally (lvef = 40-45 %). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid regurgitation jet is eccentric and may be underestimated. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared to the study dated (images reviewed), the patient is more tachycardic. pulmonary pressures are now in the moderate range (undetermined on the prior study). other findings are similar. single ap portable view of the chest : comparison is made with prior study performed a day earlier. cardiomediastinal contours are normal. aeration of the right lung has improved. there are no new lung abnormalities. right picc remains in place. the tip is difficult to visualize, can be followed at least to the cavoatrial junction. there is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. microbiology: urine culture _________________________________________________________ enterococcus sp. | ampicillin------------ <=2 s nitrofurantoin-------- <=16 s tetracycline----------

found to have nstemi with hypoxia and tachycardia requiring admission to the ccu. #nstemi - initial troponin t was 0.90 and peak was 2.27. ekg showed std in v3-v5 consistnt with anterior septal mi. repeat ekg showed resolution of previously seen std and new pr depressions in ii, iii and avf, which can be seen in rv infarct. nitro was therefore held. her initial n/v may have been related to myocardial ischemia. she was started on heparin drip, asa, loaded with plavix. started on metoprolol which was titrated to 100 mg . echo showed evidence of mild lv dysfunction (ef 40-45%) c/w cad, moderate mitral regurgitation. cardiac catheterization was deferred given respiratory distress likely secondary to heart failure and/or pneumonia, as well as the fact that she had persistent tachycardia equivalent to a stress test which she tolerated without recurrence of symptoms. consider outpatient cardiac catheterization. simvastatin was changed to atorvastatin at 80 mg, aspirin and plavix were started to minimize coronary artery thrombus. pt should have nitroglycerin at home to take for chest pain. #hypoxia - on arrival to ccu, cxr showed evidence of worsening pulmonary edema since admission after receiving fluids. pt with labored breathing and pursed lips. abg showed 77/59/7.28/29. hypoxia thought to be due to volume overload as result of nstemi vs copd exacerbation. pt treated with albuterol/ipratripium nebs and advair. also initially started on prednisone. she was diuresed with lasix. repeat cxr concerning for early infiltrate vs. aspiration pnuemonia. given recent hospitalization, fever, and elevated white count coverage for hap was also initiated with vanc/cefepime and azithromycin for atypical coverage. pulmonary service was consulted and recommended further diuresis and to stop the steroids as they felt sob was more likely due to combination of uti, lung inflammation/aspiration pneumonia, and/or low ef and mr /acs. pt completed antibiotics on . at the time of discharge, she was comfortable on ra and denied cough or sputum production. she was not discharged on diuretics because of her , but this may be considered in the future if she has evidence of fluid retention. lisinopril was held because of but should be restarted once creat < 1.5. #tachycardia: likely multifactorial and related to hypovolemia agitation from respiratory distress, and possibly depressed lvef. patient remained tachycardic in the 120s. initially thought pt was over-diuresed and was given fluids without response. pt did have short episode of afib, and converted with ibutilide. she remained tachycardic in low 100s throughout admission despite euvolemic, adequate pain control, no o2 requirements. metoprolol sucinate was uptitrated to 150 mg #afib: pt had episode of afib on treated with ibutilide 1 mg x 1 and converted to sinus. again, went into afib the following day and converted to sinus with metoprolol. pt was bridged to coumadin, however remained in sinus through the rest of admission. afib with rvr likely occured in the setting of acute infarction/respiratory distress. given a drop in hct and guaiac positive stools, anticoaguluation was discontinued. pt still receiving asa and plavix which offers some degree of anticoagulation. #uti: pt had urine culture showing > 100,000 org/ml of enterococcus sensitive to vancomycin, which she was already receiving for aspiration pna. #hypertension: patient admitted with sbp 130's, and became hypotensive in the setting of tachycardia and nstemi. hypotension resolved and is now normo to hypertensive. bps controlled with metoprolol. held home clonidine and nifedipine. would like to add lisinopril when renal function improves. #hyperglycemia - initial chemistry significant for glucose of 222. patient is without history of diabetes, possibly stress response to acute myocardial infarction. also may have been elevated from steroid use. continued to check finger sticks though admission which improved. by discharge fs in low 100s and no insulin required. #nausea/vomiting - pt was initially started on cipro/flagyl when admitted to the floor given n/v/d and recent history of infectious colitis. however, nausea/vomiting likely anginal equivalent. patient afebrile. infectious colitis unlikely. cipro/flagyl discontinued. pt treated with zofran prn during admission. also on ranitidine for gerd. n/v resolved by time of discharge. chronic issues: #insomnia - continued trazodone 50 mg po qhs transitional issues: #pt will need follow up with primary care and cardiology after discharge. these have been scheduled. #will need blood pressure modifications and possible adjustments given that now only on metoprolol and discontinued home clonidine, nifedipime and lisinopril. would recommend lisinopril if additional blood pressure control needed and renal function allows, creat < 1.5. #pt had episodes of afib on admission. is currently on asa and plavix. however, did not start coumadin at this time given that patient had drop in hct and guaic positive stools. given that sinus rhythm for majority of admission, it was felt that the risks outweighed the benefits to start coumadin. should the patient continue to have afib in the future, can readdress need for coumadin and/or amiodarone. # hcp is daughter # full code medications on admission: home medications:

status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). discharge instructions: you had trouble breathing and a low oxygen level that was due to a heart attack. this heart attack has made your heart weak and caused fluid to back up into your lungs. you received furosemide (lasix) to get rid of the extra fluid. at the same time, you have a pneunomia for which you received one week of antibiotics. you now do not need any oxygen and have no fever or other signs of infection. your heart rate has been high and we adjusted your medicines to slow it down and lower your blood pressure. you were in an irregular rhythm called atrial fibrillation and are now in a normal rhythm again. we started warfarin (coumadin) but you developed some blood in your stool and this was stopped. you should check your pulse regularly to see if it is irregular which could mean the atrial fibrillation has returned. until your heart recovers from the heart attack, weigh yourself every morning before breakfast and call dr. if weight goes up more than 3 lbs in 1 day or 5 pounds in 3 days. . we made the following changes to your medicines: 1. stop taking atenolol, clonidine, nifedipine, solifenacin, and simvastatin 2. take atorvastatin to lower your cholesterol instead of simvastatin. you can restart simvastatin in a few months once you don't need a high dose. 3. take metoprolol succinate instead of atenolol to lower your heart rate and blood pressure 4. start aspirin and plavix to prevent blood clots in your heart arteries. 5. start tylenol as needed for pain 6. start ranitidine to prevent stomach upset from the aspirin and plavix. 7. stop taking combivent with the salmeterol. this could cause a rapid heart rate. followup instructions: cardiology: department: cardiac services when: friday at 9:00 am with: , m.d. building: campus: east best parking: garage . primary care: provider: , : date/time:

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 75-year-old gentleman with a history of hydrocephalus with a couple of revisions of ventriculoperitoneal shunt who was admitted on with decreased mental status. it was found the patient's ventriculoperitoneal shunt was not working. the patient was admitted to for further evaluation and management. past medical history: 1. hydrocephalus. 2. pituitary microadenoma. 3. hypertension. past surgical history: 1. sinus surgery. 2. ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement plus revision. 3. status post appendectomy. 4. frontal sinus surgery. hospital course by issue/system: the patient was admitted to the neurosurgery service. he underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision of his new shunt and valve placement. 1. neurologic issues: initially, after the operation, the patient showed an improvement in mental status changes. however, on the patient's mental status started to deteriorate again, to the point where he became unresponsive. he had to be intubated and transferred to the intensive unit. at the same time, the patient's white blood cell count decreased. he spiked a fever. he had a computed tomography scan of the head which showed dilated ventricles. the patient's reservoir was accessed with pus expressed. the vp shunt was externalized. for the next four weeks the patient had multiple drain revisions due to poor flow and clogging by cell debris. all changes were made on the right side with left side being saved for potential ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement in the future. the patient's mental status was depressed with localizing bilaterally and withdrawing to pain; however, this level was intermittently changing, mostly in correlation with well functioning of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. on , the patient's mental status was slightly improving with eyes opening and spontaneous movement of all extremities. however, in the evening of that day, after his tracheostomy was suctioned, the patient's blood pressure increased to 190. after that, he had bright red blood showing up in his drain, and his pupils became nonreactive. on examination, he was not moving extremities and was not withdrawing from pain. he did not have gag reflex. he underwent an emergency head computed tomography scan which showed very large hemorrhage in the left hemisphere with midline shift and herniation. his repeat examination was the same. the patient had two apnea tests which were both showed no spontaneous respirations.. on , after discussing with the patient 's family his ventilator was disconnected the patient expired. 2. cardiovascular system: the patient's blood pressure was somewhat labile throughout the whole stay in the hospital; however, mostly staying in the 90 to 150 range, intermittently requiring a nipride drip and neosynephrine in order to meet blood pressure parameters. on , after right hemispheric bleed, the patient's blood pressure was low, requiring neosynephrine for blood pres sure support. 3. respiratory: the patient remained intubated for all that time. intermittently, the patient was on continuous positive airway pressure with pressure support; however, we were unable to wean him off the ventilator because of his poor mental status. given the chronicity of the problems, the patient underwent a tracheostomy on . on and the patient had an apnea test both of which he failed and expired upon withdrawing ventilator support. 4. gastrointestinal: once transferred to the intensive care unit, the patient had a nasogastric tube placed and was started on tube feeds. also on , the patient had percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement and was continued on tube feeds per percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. throughout his stay in the hospital, there were no concerns or issues with gastrointestinal tract or liver. 5. renal: the patient continued having good urinary output. no renal issues. 6. endocrine issues: in the beginning of the patient's intensive care unit stay, he developed signs of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone with low serum sodium. however, it was corrected by fluid restriction. the patient was intermittently receiving doses of dexamethasone to decrease his edema; otherwise, unremarkable. 7. infectious disease: concurrently with the patient's initial decompensation on he was found to have a urinary tract infection. once the initial vp shunt was accessed and drained, it was cultured which eventually grew pseudomonas aeruginosa and pan-sensitive enterococcus. the patient was initially treated with vancomycin, gentamicin, and ceftazidime; however, later on it was switched to vancomycin and gentamicin. also, for a period of about two weeks, the patient was receiving it injections of gentamicin. approximately after one week of initial antibiotic treatment, his urinary tract infection cleared. his cerebrospinal fluid had cleared also, and the last three consecutive cultures were negative for bacteria. 8. musculoskeletal: the patient was seen by physical therapy and occupational therapy. he had no active issues. once it was evident the patient was taking a turn for the worse on , the patient's family was contact who arrived to be with the patient. the situation and prognosis were explained by both the primary team as well as the intensive care unit team. the family changed the patient's status to do not resuscitate/do not intubate and then eventually to comfort measures only, and the patient expired after withdrawing respiratory support. condition at discharge: death. discharge disposition: the patient's body was released to the family. discharge diagnoses: 1. hydrocephalus; status post ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision. 2. status post ventricular drain placement. 3. status post meningitis. 4. status post ventriculitis. 5. status post left cerebral hemisphere bleed. 6. status post cerebral herniation. 7. hypertension. 8. failure to thrive. 9. respiratory failure. 10. urinary tract infection. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 13:47 t: 16:23 job#: procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more insertion of endotracheal tube enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances temporary tracheostomy replacement of ventricular shunt gingivoplasty diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified urinary tract infection, site not specified intracerebral hemorrhage other disorders of neurohypophysis streptococcal meningitis communicating hydrocephalus mechanical complication of nervous system device, implant, and graft meningitis due to gram-negative bacteria, not elsewhere classified Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 38-year-old gentlemen who was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which he was a unrestrained driver. there was a prolonged extrication at the scene. the patient was somewhat agitated at the outside hospital with stable vital signs. he was medflighted to the . during that transfer, he was intubated secondary to agitation. past medical history: unremarkable. medications: he is on no medications. allergies: he has no known drug allergies. physical examination: his temperature was 34.8. heart rate of 112 with blood pressure of 169/palp, saturating 100%. he was intubated with a gcs of 11t. his trachea was midline. he had a c collar on. his pupils equal, round and reactive to light. his chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. his heart had a regular rate and rhythm. his abdomen was soft, nondistended. his pelvis was stable. his rectal exam demonstrated normal tone and was guaiac negative. he had a mild abrasion on the left lower extremity without gross deformities and palpable dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. his left hand had two lacerations, one on the volar side, proximal to his thumb, with the tendon lacerated and exposed to the thumb. he had another laceration on the dorsal side of his hand below the second and third digit. the tendon of the second digit was severed but partially intact. the tendon of the third digit was lacerated. x-rays: the patient had a chest x-ray that was without evidence of pneumothorax or mediastinum widening. there were no fractures. his pelvic demonstrated no fractures. his head ct showed no bleeding or fractures. this was an outside film that was read by radiology. his c spine demonstrated a c5 fracture of the left lateral and posterior elements without bone fragments in the canal. his abdominal ct demonstrated no free fluid, free air or solid organ injury. his hand films demonstrated no fractures. laboratories: his hematocrit was 36.9. his white blood cell count was 19.2, platelets 210,000. coags were normal. his gas was 7.37, 38, 516, 23 and -2. his potassium was 3.7. his creatinine was 0.6. his tox screen was negative. brief hospital course: the patient was taken to the operating room by the plastic surgery team for surgical repair of the lacerations to the extensor tendons of the third and fourth left finger and a left radial nerve repair. there was concern that the patient may have a left vertebral artery dissection and an mra was performed which demonstrated increased signal within the left vertebral artery from skull base to c6, c7 level indicating a thrombosis of the left vertebral artery. a four vessel angiogram showed an occlusive dissection of the left vertebral artery at c5. throughout the hospital course, the patient denied any symptoms suggestive of brain stem ischemia. the patient was admitted to the trauma surgical intensive care unit, intubated overnight. his course was uneventful and he was weaned to extubation in the morning. neurosurgery was consulted and they recommended leaving the patient in the hard collar. the plan was to anticoagulate the patient for a period of 12 weeks. leave him in the hard collar and have him follow-up as an outpatient after discharge. upon reaching the floor, his diet was advanced and he was placed on oral pain medication. physical therapy evaluated him and noted him to be significantly orthostatic requiring the termination of the physical therapy session. after confirming that the patient's hematocrit had been stable and that his fluid status seemed adequate, a medicine consult was obtained to help ascertain the cause of the patient's orthostatic hypotension. their initial impression was that the patient may be hypovolemic despite adequate hydration and urine output. upon their recommendations, the patient was bolused two liters of normal saline and orthostatics were checked. there was no difference in the patient's orthostatic hypotension. the patient was subsequently started on florinef and given salt tablets. this had a moderate effect on his symptomatology. by the day of discharge, physical therapy and the medical service had signed off on the patient as he was asymptomatic from his orthostatic hypotension and was able to ambulate independently during his physical therapy sessions. the patient was discharged home on in stable condition in a hard cervical collar with instructions to follow-up in the plastic surgery clinic for his tendon repair, as well as with neurosurgery for his spine fracture and his vertebral artery dissection/occlusion. he is also to follow-up in the trauma clinic in one to two weeks. the patient's anticoagulation in house, which had consisted of heparin and coumadin was subsequently discontinued and the patient was started on plavix and aspirin and was discharged home on such. discharge medications: 1. plavix 75 mg po q.d. 2. aspirin 325 mg po q.d. 3. oxycodone

mrsa screen (final ): no mrsa isolated : tte the left atrium is moderately dilated. no thrombus/mass is seen in the body of the left atrium. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global systolic function (lvef>55%). due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. there are three aortic valve leaflets. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. there is mild aortic valve stenosis (valve area 1.2-1.9cm2). trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad. brief hospital course: ms. was admitted on and underwent urgent angiogram that evening. she was found to have embolus in her left sfa and left . she underwent angiojet thrombectomy of the occluded sfa. there was evidence of stenosis at the level of canal which was initially dilated with a 3-mm balloon and subsequently stented with a 5 x 80 zilver stent. after the stent placement she began to have respiratory distress and hypotension. a dopamine gtt was started and anesthesia was called stat for endotracheal intubation. it was determined that she was having an allergic reaction to the contrast dye she received. she also was given iv solumedrol and benadryl and was stable to continue with the procedure. subsequent arteriography revealed diminished flow in the below-knee popliteal with no filling of the previously patent popliteal and collaterals. the angiojet was used to perform the leg thrombectomy of the distal popliteal followed by angioplasty of the distal popliteal with a 3 x 2 angioplasty balloon. she tolerated the remainder of the procedure well, had closure of her groin access with a perclose device and was transfered to the cvicu in guarded condition. she remained intubated on a heparin and dopamine gtt. on pod 1 a tte was ordered to evaluate for a source of clot, this was negative. it was also noted that the pt had elevated troponins and some minor ekg changes and there was concern for nstemi prior to admission to and a cardiology consult was obtained. given that the pt did not have an elevated mb franction and only mildly elevated ck, it was felt that she did not suffer an mi. later in the evening the pt had a short run of afib followed by a short run of bradycardia. she was weaned off her gtts and started on coumadin as well. on pod2 an electrophysiology consult was obtained for further evaluation. she also fever and was pan cultured. ep felt that the pt had tachybrady syndrome which had resolved. the recommended using low dose beta blockers, but stopping if the pt had junctional rhythm. she was in stable condition and transfered to the vicu late in the day on pod2. while in the vicu she remained hemodynamically stable and was continued on heparin and coumadin for anticoagulation. she worked with physical therapy, had her foley and lines removed and continued to improve daily. on pod 6 () she was ambulating with assistance, tolerating a regular diet and voiding without difficulty. at this time it was determined by dr. that she was stable for d/c

received 1500 cc of fluid during the case and had an ebl of 200 cc. at postoperative check, the patient was doing well, complaining of some increasing phlegm production, but neuro intact and stable. she was breathing 15 times a minute with an o2 sat of 100% on 3l nc. she was requiring a nitro gtt and intermittent hydralazine to keep her blood pressures in the desired range of 100-140. overnight she had some tachypnea and scattered wheezes, which improved after a nebulizer treatment and she maintained her sats on low nasal cannula. her neck incision did slowly ooze blood, requiring a few dressing changes but there was no airway compression or rapidly expanding hematoma. on , pod #1, the patient continued to have some increased work of breathing,decreased urine output, cxr showed some fluid overload and she was given lasix 80mg iv and put out about 100 cc of urine hourly throughout the day. she maintained her sats in the mid 90's throughout the day on 2-3l nc. at 9pm, her work of breathing continued to increase with rr 30-35, sats mid 90's, an additional 40mg of lasix was given, without much improvement in her respiratory status. a nonrebreather was placed and the patient continued to breath 30-42 times a minute satting 90-98%. her neck incision continued to appear intact, with no pulsatile mass or firmness. the patient was transferred to the icu and intubated for flash pulmonary edema. bnp was increased to 13,000, she also had a troponin leak to peak of .72. atrius cardiology followed the patient during her stay and felt that she was having demand ischemia secondary to the fluid overload and diastolic heart failure and did not feel she was having an mi. she had ongoing labile blood pressures requiring treatment. her creatinine trended up to the 2.6-3.0 range with adequate urine output and nephrology was consulted. they felt as if she had acute kidney injury in the setting of hemodynamic instability and acute tubular necrosis. they followed her care and her creatinine trended down but has not yet reached her baseline. on , pod#3, she had a low grade fever and her cxr showed concern for possible rll infiltrate and she was started on vancomycin/cefepime to empirically treat for vap. she was extubated and required reintubation after 2 hours for tachypnea, hypertension, respiratory distress. on , pod#4 it was decided to start a three day course of methylprednisolone for upper airway edema secondary to multiple attempts at intubation/extubation. she rested on the ventilator over the weekend during this steroid course and we continued diuresis, monitoring her creatinine. she did develop a metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia which were treated. her blood pressure throughout her hospital stay was difficult to control and she required standing metoprolol, hydralazine, addition of po agents, and intermittent iv hydralazine/metoprolol at times. the patient completed her steroid course and was extubated on , and there was a question of heme-tinged output from her ogt, protonix was added. lavage was negative, egd was not required. she remained in the icu on and . diamox was used for ongoing diuresis, bicarb and creatinine were monitored with a goal of .5 l negative daily. after extubation she was slow to improve her mental status with an elevated bun/cr, and a head ct was performed which was grossly negative for an acute process. as her lab values normalized, and with her family at bedside, her mental status did improve gradually. the patient was transferred out of the icu on . she was given one day of trophic tf through a dophoff tube and then passed a bedside swallow test on . the dophoff was discontinued and her diet was advanced. her labs continued to trend down, she tolerated a regular diet, and her blood pressures were better controlled on her new regimen. her mental status improved significantly and she is now interactive and appropriate. she had some loose stools over the weekend and a c.diff was sent which was negative. she was out of bed and did well with pt who recommended discharge to home. we felt as if she would benefit from home pt as she strengthens. her discharge plan involves bp monitoring on a new regimen, and close follow up to alter that regimen as necessary. additionally, she will finish her 2 week course of iv antibiotics for ventilator acquired pneumonia. she will also benefit from some home physical therapy. she will follow up with dr. in 1 week and her primary physician . for hospital follow up/bp control. she should also follow up with her

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 70-year-old woman with hypertension and hyperlipidemia but without prior coronary events who presented to her emergency room with chest pain and marked anterior st segment elevations. this was preceded by a three day history of nausea and vomiting with uncertainty as to whether there was some chest discomfort with this as well. initial cpk was only 270. she was transferred to for urgent intervention. coronary angiography demonstrated the left anterior descending to be patent but with a 90% proximal stenosis. there was an 80% distal lad lesion with no other significant coronary artery disease. the proximal lad lesion was stented with a good result with no residual and the distal lad lesion was treated with balloon dilatation. left ventricular angiography at the time demonstrated severe anterolateral and apical hypokinesis with an ejection fraction of 315. pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was markedly elevated to 28 mm and cardiac index reduced to 1.7 mm. in view of this, an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed. in the ccu she responded well to diuresis, maintaining a stable blood pressure and the balloon pump was removed the following day. echocardiography confirmed anteroseptal and atypical akinesis with an ejection fraction of 30%. there is no evidence of left ventricular apical thrombus although this cannot be excluded. cpk did not peak beyond the initial value, suggesting her infarction may have occurred a few days prior to admission. because of the severe apical left ventricular involvement predisposing to apical thrombus, we felt it best to anticoagulate with coumadin in addition to the aspirin and plavix required for stenting. we did have some reservation concerning this because of a history of past gi bleeding and therefore observed her carefully with no evidence of bleeding in the hospital. her hematocrit remained stable at 33.7%. inr at the time of discharge was 2.0. she will require aspirin and plavix for the month following stenting after which the plavix can be discontinued and aspirin could be reduced to a lower dose. the coumadin could be discontinued after 3-6 months at which time the incidents of thromboembolism is much reduced. the inr should be maintained at no more than the 2 to 2.5 range with her additional antiplatelet therapy. the patient is to follow-up with outpatient cardiologist, dr. , in , mass. discharge diagnosis: 1. coronary artery disease. discharge status: good. discharged to home. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: insertion of non-drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization coronary arteriography using two catheters angiocardiography of left heart structures injection or infusion of platelet inhibitor implant of pulsation balloon diagnoses: coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery esophageal reflux pure hypercholesterolemia congestive heart failure, unspecified unspecified essential hypertension acute myocardial infarction of other anterior wall, initial episode of care atrial fibrillation Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: worsening sob major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 84 year old woman with asthma and chronic osteomyelitis on vanc/cefepime/flagyl at alf, just discharged a day prior to admission for sob suspected secondary to dchf exacerbation, improved after diuresis and bipap for worsening sob. she had done well overnight and been off oxygen per report but then was found acutely short of breath the following morning with a an sbp in the 190s with hr in 120s, rr 30s and desaturating to oxygen saturations in the 80s. she denied sob, cp, cough, fever but her speech is quite limited in content due to her severe dementia and she answers she's "pretty good" and that she has no problems to almost all questions. of note, she has been admitted to twice within the last month and has been re-admitted within 24 hours both times. her first admission in early was for confusion. she was found to have coag neg staph bacteremia, attributed to her picc line. picc was replaced and cultures were negative at discharge. she re-presented with worsening dyspnea on and was admitted with presumed chf exacerbation. she responded well to diuresis with furosemide, though did have an episode of hypoxia after diuresis that was attributed to asthma. she was discharged on bronchodilators and furosemide 20mg po daily, which was not titrated up from admission dose. no discharge weight documented but per discharge summary was on room air with no crackles or edema on exam.

radiograph : impression: interstitial pulmonary edema and small-to-moderate bilateral pleural effusions minimally worsened from the prior chest radiograph on . chest radiograph : impression: since , pulmonary congestion has improved, bilateral mild-to-moderate pleural effusions are unchanged and left lower lung atelectasis has resolved. brief hospital course: this is an 84 f with cad, dm c/b neuropathy, pvd s/p multiple amputations, chronic bilateral foot osteomyelitis on vanco/cefepime/flagyl and recent admission for dyspnea attributed to chf who presents with worsening dyspnea due to diastolic chf exacerbation. # acute exacerbation of chronic diastolic chf: the patient presented with elevated bnp, hypoxia, and pulmonary edema on chest radiograph in the context of hypertension with known diastolic chf strongly pointing to chf exacerbation as the etiology of her decompensation. on arrival she briefly required bipap in the ed when oxygen therapy proved inadequate. with that and furosemide iv she had a considerable amount of diuresis and improved but as systolic pressures, which were felt to partially drive this exacerbation, required nitroglycerin to control she was admitted to the medical icu. there she was not diuresed further (amt removed in unclear though reported around 2l) and actually developed a positive fluid balance over time in the micu. nevertheless, her anti-hypertensive regimen was increased and with better control of her bp's she significantly improved and was off oxygen therapy by her transfer to the floor approximately 24-36 hours after admission. on the floor diuresis was continued with iv furosemide and po torsemide (given concern the patient may have gut wall edema interfering with absorption) and had brisk diuresis of at least one liter a day. chest radiograph appeared improved. she was started on beta blocker (switched to carvedilol from metoprolol) and acei (switched to enalapril from lisinopril). on day of discharge her "dry weight" was 169lbs. her cr did increase during hospitalization from 0.6 to 1.2 and diuresis was decreased and vanco was adjusted(see below). she continued to have good urine output throughout hospitalization. on day of discharge her cr was stable at 1.1 and her diuretic regimen was adjusted to torsemide 10mg daily. on transfer to , please continue to monitor i+o and daily weights. she will need chem 7 checked three times a week for one week to follow her renal function and then if stable decrease to twice weekly. . # htn: on presentation she was hypertensive to the 190's and this was thought to be a major factor in her diastolic chf exacerbation. she was briefly on nitroglycerin drip but this was able to be weaned off relatively quickly after she received a dose of carvedilol and she later received enalapril (daughter was extremely resistant to restarting lisinopril). with these medications her pressure was dramatically better controlled and she was discharged on coreg 12.5 and enalapril 40mg daily. # osteomyelitis of heels: wounds appeared stable and without signs of acute infection. cultures were negative. she had low grade fevers but these have been persistent and may be related to drug. she was continued on her vancomycin, cefepime, and metronidazole. prior to discharge her vanco trough was 25 and her dose was adjusted to 1g q24hours. please check a vanco trough on prior to her dose and adjust the vanco dose for a goal of 15-20. she needs to continue iv cefepime, metronidazole and vancomycin until her appointment on in clinic when his continued therapy will be evaluated. # anemia: pt has a chronic anemia with hct in mid 20's. likely etiologies include her chronic osteo and anemia of chronic inflammation though near constant hospitalization and phlebotomy likely playing a role as well. stools also found to be guiac positive during last hospitalization but brown likely due to her proctolitis seen on imaging. nevertheless, this would be low grade bleeding and patient's hct actually improved during this hospitalization likely due to reducing degree of dilution during diuresis. her hct was stable at 26 on and no signs of bleeding were noted.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is an 86-year-old female with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease who presented to the emergency department with mental status changes with subsequent hypotension and was transferred to medical intensive care unit team for further management. the patient was recently admitted on for evaluation of a right lower extremity pain, found to have a fracture and was placed in a cast. the patient was well until the day of admission when she complained of increased leg pain treated with oxycodone overnight. the patient was seen by her primary medical doctor at 11:30 a.m. on the day of admission. at that time, she was alert, oriented and only complained of leg pain. the patient was treated with oxycontin at 9 a.m. and took some benadryl for a rash which was presumably from clindamycin. at 12:45 p.m., the patient was noted to be unresponsive with a blood pressure of 60/40, pulse 62 and respirations of 18. she was diaphoretic. at the time, she was treated with narcan and oxygen via face mask. she was able to answer questions, but remained lethargic. she was transferred to the emergency department. in the emergency department, the patient's blood pressure was 66/35, pulse was 80 and she was 91% on 4 liters nasal cannula when she arrived. she was given ................ with ineffective increased agitation. she was also given a dose of levofloxacin, flagyl as well as normal saline. the patient's blood pressure rose to the 120s/50s. the patient had a loose bowel movement and was guaiac positive. the patient received a total of 2.5 liters of normal saline. she had a right internal jugular line placed. she continued to have decreased blood pressure over the next few hours which was unresponsive to blood products, was started on a low dose of dopa, had a ct scan done and was transferred to the medical intensive care unit. on evaluation, the patient complained only of pain in her .............. and her right foot pain with palpation. she denied any chest pain, shortness of breath or cough. denies any recent fevers, chills, abdominal pain, diarrhea or dysuria. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease 2. congestive heart failure with 55% in of ' with diastolic dysfunction 3. history of polio 4.

blood pressure 72/27, pulse 90s. she was 100% on 6 liters nasal cannula and her respirations were 20. general: she was a chronically ill appearing female in mild distress. head, ears, eyes, nose and throat: significant for a very dry oropharynx, but no erythema. her neck was supple. her right ij was in place. she was normocephalic, atraumatic with pupils that were equally reactive and responsive to light. cardiovascular: her heart sound was distant and she had a 2/6 systolic ejection murmur. her jugular venous pressure was unable to be assessed. lungs: diffuse wheezes and crackles at the bases. abdomen: positive bowel sounds, soft, obese, nontender, nondistended. extremities: right leg in a cast, 2+ pulses x4, mildly cool in the extremities, 1+ edema up to her shin. skin: mild macular rash in her back and chest. upper extremity with excoriation. labs and studies: white count was 10.5. her hematocrit was 24. platelets were 327. her pt was 13.7, ptt 39.4, inr 1.3, albumin 3.4, ck of 58, 81% neutrophils, 0 bands, 6% lymphocytes and 2% monocytes. chem-7: sodium 135, potassium 3.8, chloride 90, bicarbonate 32, bun 48, creatinine 1.9 and glucose 168. her baseline creatinine is 1.5. her urinalysis showed specific gravity of 1.010, 30 protein, small leukocyte esterase, no nitrites, 0 to 2 red blood cells and 3 t.i.d. 5 white blood cells. her electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm at 60, normal axis, normal intervals, no acute st changes. no q waves, no sign of right ventricular restraint. her chest x-ray showed stable cardiomegaly, resolving consolidation in the right lower lobe which was a questionable pneumonia, left small effusion, left basal atelectasis. her echocardiogram in showed an ejection fraction of 65%, mild left ventricular hypertrophy, 1+ aortic regurgitation, 1+ mitral regurgitation, at least mild ms, moderate pulmonary hypertension. assessment: this is an 86-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with mental status changes, status post an episode of unresponsiveness and low blood pressure, admitted to the medical intensive care unit for further evaluation. etiology of the patient's hypotension was not entirely clear. ct angiogram was not significant for pulmonary embolus. cardiogenic cause was also less likely, given that the patient had no changes in her electrocardiogram and had flat serial enzymes and had no complaints of chest pain. the chest x-ray also was not significant for pulmonary edema. sepsis was also considered, however it was also less likely given no fevers, no elevated white count and an unimpressive urinalysis. hypovolemia was considered the most likely etiology given her slow response to fluids earlier in the day. hospital course by system: 1. cardiology: the patient was ruled out for myocardial infarction with serial enzymes. she had no ischemic changes on her electrocardiogram. the patient had a repeat echocardiogram done which showed no significant changes from her prior echocardiogram in . current echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 70%, lateral atrium mildly dilated with mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. her left ventricular cavity size was normal. aortic valve was moderately thickened, mild aortic regurgitation, pulmonary artery, systolic hypertension as from her previous. the patient had a history of atrial fibrillation, but was in normal sinus rhythm. the patient's cardiac medications, including diltiazem, metolazone, lasix, isordil were all held given her presentation with low blood pressure. throughout her hospitalization, the patient's pressure improved gradually. the patient's cardiac medications continued to be held throughout her hospital stay just to ensure that her blood pressure remained stable. 2. pulmonary: the patient had an acute need for increased oxygen requirement although the etiology for this need was unclear. initially, the patient needed 5 liters of oxygen, but eventually came down with good aspiration and saturations with 2 liters of nasal cannula. the patient has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is likely co2 retainer with goal oxygen saturation in the hospital between 92% and 94%. also, given patient's history of diastolic dysfunction and history of flash pulmonary edema, we continued to watch her oxygen saturation closely. she had a repeat chest x-ray which showed very mild right lower lobe infiltrate which she was placed on zithromax for. the choice of antibiotics was chosen based on the fact that the patient had no symptoms and the right lower lobe infiltrate was very unconvincing, so the patient was treated as a community acquired pneumonia, despite coming from a nursing home. the patient was treated with aggressive nebulizers upon admission, but later this need decreased. 3. infectious disease: the patient was treated as mentioned for right lower lobe pneumonia with a five day course of zithromax. at the time of dictation, the patient was on day 3 of 5 of this. in addition, the patient had positive urinalysis significant for a urinary tract infection. the patient grew out greater than 100,000 colonies of klebsiella pneumonia which was sensitive to bactrim and the patient was continued on this. at the time of dictation, the patient was on day 2 of 7 treatment for this. the patient also had an unexplained eosinophilia. this could have been secondary to many things. the patient did have clindamycin prior to admission and had a rash secondary to this which could have been a cause of eosinophilia. she also received a dose of ceftriaxone while in the hospital for her urinary tract infection. the patient had a penicillin allergy and perhaps her eosinophilia was also contributed to by this dose of ceftriaxone. 4. renal: the patient had a fluctuating creatinine likely secondary to hypovolemia. the patient's diuretics were held. the patient was very gently hydrated and at the time of dictation, the patient's creatinine improved to 1.1. 5. gastrointestinal: the patient had an initial drop in hematocrit on admission with guaiac positive stools. it was unclear when her last esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy was, however the patient's hematocrit stabilized after transfusion and no further intervention was done, recommend a follow up esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy as an outpatient given her guaiac positive stools and unclear nature of when her last screening was done. 6. neuropsych: the patient was continued on her sertraline for depression. she was also treated with gabapentin and morphine for pain. the morphine was used when the patient was moved from place to place, given increased pain in her right lower extremity. the patient was also placed on a standing order of oxycodone for her right lower extremity pain and patient noted quite an improvement in her symptoms. disposition: the healthcare proxy is her , phone ( or (. the patient is a

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is an interim summary covering the dates between and . is a 59 day old, former 25 and 2/7 weeks growth restricted female infant. her corrected gestational age is currently 33 and 5/7 weeks. she was born to a 31 year old, gravida i, para 0 to ii mother. prenatal laboratory studies: 0 positive, antibody negative; rpr nonreactive; rubella immune; gbs unknown. hepatitis b surface antigen negative. the pregnancy was conceived by in- fertilization for these dichorionic, diamniotic twins. the pregnancy was complicated by recurrent bleeding, beginning at seven weeks gestation. a subchorionic hematoma was noted on evaluation. the mother also had several episodes of preterm labor and was treated with a full course of betamethasone. she was admitted five days prior to delivery with preterm labor and cervical change and was started on magnesium sulfate. she progressed to unstoppable preterm labor with rupture of membranes and the infants were delivered via cesarean section. this infant was intubated in the delivery room, due to respiratory distress and extreme prematurity. apgars were four and seven. she was transported immediately to the neonatal intensive care unit for management of prematurity and respiratory distress. physical examination: on admission, general examination revealed her to be small, extremely premature infant, intubated, in moderate respiratory distress. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: nondysmorphic; anterior fontanel soft; palate intact. lungs with poor air entry and retractions. heart: regular rate and rhythm; normal s1 and s2; no murmur; 2+ pulses in the upper and lower extremities. abdomen: soft, nontender. bowel sounds present. normal premature female genitalia. patent anus. straight spine. extremities: well perfused. tone appropriate for gestational age. hospital course: 1.) respiratory: the infant was placed immediately on high frequency ventilation. she received two doses of surfactant replacement therapy. she remained intubated on high frequency ventilation until day of life 36, when she was extubated to c-pap. she was subsequently reintubated on day of life 39, when she developed signs and symptoms of necrotizing enterocolitis. she has been stablely extubated since day of life 48 and currently remains on c-pap of 5; fi02 of 26 to 38%. she has not been started on diuretic therapy at this time. she has been on caffeine for apnea of prematurity since the time of extubation. she has occasional episodes of apnea and bradycardia of prematurity. 2.) cardiovascular: the infant has been hemodynamically stable. she has had no signs or symptoms of patent ductus arteriosus. she has had two echocardiograms, both of which showed no patent ductus arteriosus. she did have a patent foramen ovale noted on her last echocardiogram on day of life two. she has no cardiac murmur. 3.) fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the infant was initially n.p.o. and started on intravenous fluids. she remained on parenteral nutrition, as her enteral feedings were advanced slowly. she remained stable on full enteral feeds until day of life 39, when she developed abdominal distention and an abdominal x-ray which revealed pneumatosis. she was made n.p.o. and remained on parenteral nutrition for 14 days. feeds were restarted on day of life 54 and have been advanced slowly. she has shown some signs of feeding intolerance but abdominal x-rays have shown only mildly distended loops of bowel; no obstruction or other signs or symptoms of necrosis. she is currently on total fluids of 140 cc per kg per day. she is receiving breast milk at 30 cc per kg per day and the remainder of her intake is parenteral nutrition and intralipids. she has a central picc line. his feedings are being advanced by 10 cc per kg per day, twice a day. 4.) gastrointestinal: peak bilirubin was 4.8 on day of life one. she was treated initially with double phototherapy and then single phototherapy. she has been off phototherapy since day of life 10. on day of life 38, she developed bilious emesis and abdominal distention. an abdominal x-ray revealed pneumatosis. she was made n.p.o. and treated with a total of 14 days of bowel rest and antibiotics for necrotizing enterocolitis. subsequent abdominal x-rays have been essentially normal. we are monitoring her closely as her feedings are advanced. 5.) hematologic: the infant has been transfused multiple times with packed red blood cells. her most recent transfusion was on day of life 38. the most recent hematocrit was 40 which was following that transfusion. prior to transfusion, she had a markedly elevated reticulocyte count of 25% in the setting of a hematocrit of 25.9. her hematocrit and reticulocyte count should be reported at some point in the future. she has no signs or symptoms of anemia at this time. supplemental iron and vitamin e should be re-started when enteral feedings are advanced. 6.) infectious disease: the infant was initially started on ampicillin and gentamycin. these antibiotics were discontinued at 48 hours when her blood culture was negative. she was restarted on antibiotics when she developed necrotizing enterocolitis and completed a 14 day course of ampicillin, gentamycin and clindamycin. she is currently off antibiotics and has no signs or symptoms of active infection. she is colonized with methacillin resistant staph aureus. 7.) neurologic: the infant has had head ultrasounds done on day of life three, seven and 30 and these have all been normal. 8.) sensory: the infant will require an audiologic examination prior to discharge. her most recent ophthalmic examination on revealed stage i rop on the right and stage ii, zone ii rop on the left; two o'clock hours of disease. a repeat eye examination is scheduled in one week. 9.) routine health care maintenace: hepatitis b vaccine was given on . she is due for her 2 month vaccines and we are awaiting parental consent. primary care pediatrician has not been chosen yet. condition: stable. name of primary care pediatrician: unknown at this time. current medications: 1. caffeine. discharge diagnoses: 1. extreme prematurity. 2. respiratory distress syndrome. 3. chronic lung disease. 4. apnea of prematurity. 5. anemia, requiring transfusion. 6. hyperbilirubinemia. 7. rule out sepsis. 8. necrotizing enterocolitis. 9. feeding immaturity. 10. retinopathy of prematurity. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances insertion of endotracheal tube enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances non-invasive mechanical ventilation other phototherapy prophylactic administration of vaccine against other diseases transfusion of packed cells umbilical vein catheterization diagnoses: twin birth, mate liveborn, born in hospital, delivered by cesarean section respiratory distress syndrome in newborn neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery chronic respiratory disease arising in the perinatal period retrolental fibroplasia extreme immaturity, 500-749 grams 25-26 completed weeks of gestation Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: fever, ms changes major surgical or invasive procedure: hemodialysis placement of tunneled dialysis catheters history of present illness: 40 yo m with htn, hyperchol, asthma, sarcoid, initially presented with aortic dissection s/p graft repair complicated by arf (?atn) now on hd, multiple embolic cvas, difficulty weaning from vent (s/p trach/peg), + sputum cx with serratia, hematuria from foley trauma, and ischemic hepatitis s/p celiac stent (along with l cia/eia stent). patient was discharged from on to rehab and returns on after having lgt (100.9) and ms changes (not responding to verbal commands). the patient's wife reports he has been feeling slightly "warm" over the last couple of days. on fri, he had a temperature of 101.3 after hd but no interventions were done. the patient defervesed but on sun developed another fever to >101. in the intervening time period, the patient was slightly letheragic as per the wife. on , after the febrile episode, the patient became unresponsive to verbal and physical stimuli at 3pm on . the patient was unresponsive for at least 30 minutes until arrival at . the wife reports she was able to arouse him briefly but his eyes would "roll back" in his head and he would become unresponsive again within a minute. the wife denied any tonic clonic movements or loss of urinary or bladder continence. as per facility note, his limbs became flacid and he was unarousable. pt was admitted directly to the micu on . after one stable evening, the patient was transferred to the floor. . the patient was recently admitted to for an episode of chest pain which was found to be a type-a aortic dissection beginning above the coronary arteries with extension into the left common carotid and innominate arteries superiorly, with inferior extension to the left common femoral artery. the patient underwent an emergent aortic dissection repair (replacement of hemiarch and ascending aorta) which was complicated by altered mental status which later were found to be due to multiple small bilateral subcortical bilateral strokes, and arf secondary to atn requiring hd. in addition, the pt was found to have elevated lfts which were thought to be secondary to gall bladder pathology and the patient was taken for ercp and biliarty stent placement. the patient in fact had a compromise of celiac artery due to false lumen of aortic dissection requiring stent of celiac and left iliac artery. the patient also had a traumatic foley placement resulting in false lumen creation requiring urology consult and 3way foley placement in or, in addition, the patient also had developed bacteremia with serratia in sputum and uti with klebsiella tx'd with meropenum. the patient had a trach (using passy-muir valve) and peg placed in addition to a tunneled dialysis catheter during the admission. the patient was evaluated by the stroke service during this admission. the patient was ultimately discharged on to hospital for rehabilitation. . past medical history: 1. htn 2. hypercholesterolemia 3. asthma 4. sarcoid 5. type a

following the administration of 150 cc of intravenous optiray in the arterial phase. additional coronal and sagittal reformatted images are provided. contrast: intravenous nonionic contrast was administered due to patient debility. ct of the chest without and with intravenous contrast: the patient is status post repair of the ascending aortic dissection, with suture material surrounding the ascending aorta. a contour deformity of the ascending aorta just superior to the anastomosis is again seen and unchanged, consistent with post surgical appearance of the pre-anastomotic segment of ascending aorta. there are multiple surgical clips within the mediastinum. there is interval decrease in soft tissue density surrounding the superior mediastinum consistent with postoperative hematoma. the dissection involving the descending aorta just distal to the anastomotic repair site appears unchanged. there is thrombus within the false lumen within the descending thoracic aorta. at the level of the diaphragmatic crura, there is evidence of new dissection, with widening of the aortic contour and a new intimal flap. this intimal flap extends from the level of the diaphragmatic hiatus to just below the right renal artery. there is no evidence of new periaortic hematoma. the airways are patent to the level of the segmental bronchi bilaterally. no definite pathologic appearing mediastinal, hilar, or axillary lymphadenopathy is identified, although there are numerous small axillary lymph nodes bilaterally. there are small bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. no pneumothorax. ct of the abdomen without and with intravenous contrast: there is new widening of the aortic contour at the diaphragmatic hiatus with a new intimal flap which extends from the diaphragmatic hiatus to just below the right renal artery. in addition, there is new narrowing of the true lumen within the abdominal aorta. the celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery, and

of hematoma around the abdominal aorta or hemoperitoneum." brief hospital course: 1. ms changes: the patient was found to have been unresponsive in the setting of fever at rehab. upon transfer to , the patient was already clear with baseline mental status. throughout the remainder of his hospital stay, his mental status has been relatively clear with only signs of improvement every day. the etiology of the altered mental status remains unclear at this point, however it may represent a response to an infectious/metabolic event vs. new neuro event (cva/tia) or even an old embolic phenomenon that is manifesting now that pt is more awake/alert. given the clinical history of lethargy and fever (especially with the multiple grafts and lines), as well as positive blood cultures 1/2 bottles on , infectious event is very likely (secondary to transient bacteremic episode?). the neurology service was consulted (who had seem him during the earlier admission) to ascertain his baseline neurological and mental status. they were convinced the neurologic findings are old and there is little likelihood this is a new or was a cva/tia. a ct of the head on admission demonstrated no evidence of an acute bleed. as there were no focal neurologic findings, neurology did not feel this warranted any further workup including a head mri or eeg. he was scheduled for follow up with and of the stroke service after dispo to rehab facility. 1. fevers: pt with persistent low grade fevers since admission, despite initiation of vancomycin therapy for >one week. pt has only grown out coag negative staph from 3 blood cultures and klebsiella from urine. in addition, antibody for strongyloides was positive. he received 8 days of ceftriaxone for his klebsiella uti. he received 10 days total of ivermectin for his strongyloides. he is in the midst of a protracted source of vancomycin for ?aortic graft infection. he will need to continue this for a total of 6 weeks (until ). this should be dosed by levels, with a goal trough . he continued to have low grade fevers, even at time of discharge. all non-essential medications were stopped with the idea that it was possibly drug fever. tagged wbc scan was performed and was negative for any source of infection. imaging of chest, abdomen, pelvis was consistently negative. hemodialysis catheter was changed and eventually removed. only line at time of discharge was a midline that was without erythema or signs of infection. mri of feet was obtained which was negative for signs of infection (pt with persistent foot pain). sacral decubitus ulcer appeared relatively clean without obvious signs of infection. as above, source of low-grade fevers was unclear; he remained completely hemodynamically stable, and all follow up surveillance cultures were persistently negative. 3. cardiac: pt never complained of cp, palpitations, or sob however given past history of complications a rule out was performed. aspirin, beta blocker were continued, and he was started on an ace prior to discharge. cardiac enzymes were a little elevated (elevated tnt but pt with renal failure) but trended down. 4. renal failure: this was thought to most likely be atn from hypotensive insult. he was followed by renal while in-house. he was initially on hemodialysis, but as his creatinine improved, this was stopped, and his hemodialysis catheter was removed. he will follow up with renal after discharge with dr. . low dose acei was started prior to discharge without any significant bump in his creatinine. if his creatinine bumps at rehabilitation, this medication should be discontinued. 5. pain: pt with acute onset bilateral foot pain. the pain is described as pins and needles and extends up to ankles. especially worse on heel but is all over foot with hypersensitivity. the description is concerning for neuropathic pain possibly due to thalamic infarct causing pain syndromes (as per neuro can occur days-weeks later). mri has ruled out cord compression or abscess. mri of feet showed no signs of infection. he was started on neurontin and trileptal with lidocaine patches and oxycodone. this provided a small amount of relief. he will follow up with neurology after discharge. 6. gu/hematuria: pt developed hematuria d/t placement of foley in "false urethra"; had 3 way foley in place without hematuria until morning of ; at which point foley irrigated, clot removed, pink urine obtained. he was treated with 8 days of ceftriaxone for klebsiella uti. he will be discharged with foley catheter due to traumatic catheterization, and he will follow up in the urology clinic. 7. trach removal: pt pulled trach tube out himself and remained stable without tracheostomy during majority of hospitalization. 8. decubitus ulcers: ulcers currently appears clean. there is no evidence of ongoing infection at site of dialysis and doubt bacteremia is seeded from here. local wound care with daily dressing changes should be continued. 9. anemia: pt with stable anemia since admission. however upon further review of past admission labs, he has never been worked up for cause of anemia. pt denies brbpr, melana, hematemesis, coffee ground emesis. hct currently is stable at 29.5 with normal mcv. most likely anemia of chronic disease - although fe is low, ferritin is high (1877). normal b12 and folate. no need for iron supplementation. he was started on epogen prior to discharge. cbc should be checked weekly to make sure that he does not have a rebound polycythemia. 10. ischemic liver: s/p celiac stent, along with cbd stent for cbd dilation and sludge. this stent will need to be removed by , and he will need follow up with gi for this. 11. aortic grafts: pt with aortic graft of hemi arch and ascending aorta. anticoagulation was discontinued due to a hematocrit drop, and it was felt to not be necessary. asa was continued. he will follow up with dr. after discharge. 12. htn: pt on lopressor 150mg and lisinopril 5 mg at time of discharge. 13. fen: pt with peg tube, taking tf. he is also taking po's, but calorie counts were not sufficient to meet nutritional needs. calorie counts should be repeated at rehabilitation to determine if peg can be removed at some point. 14. ppx: sq heparin should be continued indefinitely given immobility along with aggressive bowel regimen and protonix 14. dispo: he was discharged to rehab and will follow up with multiple doctors as described. he will complete 2 additional weeks of vancomycin therapy. medications on admission:
