Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common neoplasm amongst cirrhotic patients and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an often found complication. Sorafenib and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are considered part of the gold-standard treatment of such patients. Spontaneous intramuscular hematomas of the limbs induced by these agents, as an adverse event, are generally rare. We present a 66-year-old male patient with liver cirrhosis, HCC and PVT treated with Sorafenib and LMWH who developed a non-traumatic hip hematoma. Simple elevation of the lower limb and blood-products infusion was successful in leading to resolution of the symptoms. As the popularity of these agents increases, healthcare providers need to be aware of such treatment adverse events.Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. It is a true diverticulum containing all layers of the intestinal wall and results from the incomplete resolution of the omphalomesenteric duct. The majority of the cases are asymptomatic; however, diagnostic challenges arise when it becomes inflamed, causes gastrointestinal hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, or when it protrudes through a potential abdominal opening (Littre's hernia). We present a rare case of strangulated Meckel's diverticulum as a result of axial torsion presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain.Turner syndrome (TS) is a relatively common chromosomal abnormality in females. Short stature, gonadal dysgenesis, and somatic dysmorphic features are the characteristic features of the syndrome. The chromosomal abnormalities of TS are highly variable; 45,X/46,XY mosaicism accounts for 10-12% of cases of Turner syndrome. Despite the presence of hypogonadism, affected females typically have a uterus. Here, we report the case of a 22-year-old female who presented at 15 years of age with primary amenorrhea. She was diagnosed with Turner syndrome mosaicism with a karyotype of 45,X/46,XY. Her pelvic imaging showed an absent uterus and ovaries. Due to the presence of a Y chromosome, she underwent prophylactic gonadectomy. Pterostilbene research buy Histopathology of her removed gonads confirmed the diagnosis of mixed gonadal disorder. She was started on estrogen replacement. Four years after treatment, she developed her menses. Her repeated pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of a small uterus.Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic, an array of different clinical sequela and comorbid conditions have been discovered to be associated with COVID-19 infection. Of these sequela, subacute thyroiditis (SAT) causing hyperthyroidism has been prominent, more commonly affecting women. However, our case details a 49-year-old male patient with no history of thyroid disease showing signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism for six months after recovery from COVID-19 infection. His blood work was consistent with hypothyroidism, showing markedly elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), suppressed T3 levels, and positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody titers. The patient was treated with Synthroid and showed quick clinical improvement in symptoms. This case demonstrates that COVID-19 infection can cause overt hypothyroidism in male patients, adding yet another clinical sequela of COVID-19 infection to our clinical repertoire from recently published case reports.A paradigm shift towards enhanced strategies to effectively engage patients and families in delivering safe and high-quality healthcare services was observed during recent times, particularly in the last decade. Immediately prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, the tri-institutional global healthcare quality reports from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, World Bank Group, and Lancet Global Health Commission reported the patient and family engagement measures used globally, highlighting the variations across the regions of the world. Through a pandemic for more than a year now, we aim to present the key lessons learned from practices and strategies to proactively engage patients and families. These strategies may continue to be implemented in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era to improve patient and family-centered care.Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with relatively high morbidity and mortality and several risk factors have been identified in the past. Several predisposing factors for IE have been recognized in the literature, depending on the type of bacteria. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection causes coagulopathy-associated complications and damage to many organ systems due to the inflammatory response induced by this viral infection. COVID-19 emerged only about a year ago and there are many unknown post-COVID-19 complications at this time. Here, we present the case of Streptococcus mitis IE in a patient with no prior predisposing factors other than diagnosis with COVID-19 a month ago.Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an unusual but important cause of acute coronary syndrome and is often underdiagnosed. The first clue to the diagnosis is the angiographic appearance of the lesion, and, in certain cases, intravascular imaging is needed to confirm it. Conservative management is the preferred treatment strategy for the majority of cases. However, revascularization is needed in the presence of high-risk features, including hemodynamic instability, ongoing ischemia, and left main dissection. We report a case of a 43-year-old man who presented with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Angiogram revealed SCAD of the right coronary artery (RCA). In view of ongoing chest pain, we proceeded with direct stenting. However, during the stent delivery, the stent got embolized and laid unexpanded in the proximal RCA. The stent was successfully retrieved and was deployed at the right radial artery. Subsequently, after the troubleshoot, we again secured wire access across the RCA, and this time after pre-dilatation, successful stenting across the SCAD segment was achieved. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in SCAD is technically challenging with lower success and higher complication rates compared to atherosclerotic disease. Stent embolization is a potential complication during PCI of SCAD and to the best of our knowledge has never been reported before. Though, in general, the SCAD lesion is soft and one may proceed with direct stenting with long stents, occasionally adequate pre-dilatation may be necessary in order to facilitate the smooth passage of stent across the lesion. Though stent embolization in SCAD is a rare event, the operator must be aware of such a possibility and the potential bailout strategies if faced with such a scenario.
