Mashup Score: 0Shock Severity Classification and Mortality in Adults With Cardiac, Medical, Surgical, and Neurological Critical Illness - 1 hour(s) ago
To evaluate whether the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) Shock Classification could perform risk stratification in a mixed cohort of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, similar to its validation in patients with acute cardiac disease.

Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM), an idiopathic nonneoplastic condition affecting 0.18% to 3.14% of the population, is characterized by chronic fat necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis most commonly of the mesentery of the small intestine. Sclerosing mesenteritis typically presents in the fifth or sixth decade of life, where patients with a history of abdominal surgery and/or autoimmune disease may be at higher risk. While many patients are asymptomatic, clinical features and complications are related to the mass effect resulting from the inflammation and fibrosis involved in the pathogenesis of SM.

This is the first article of a 3-part series about physician health. In this installment, we outline the unique characteristics of physicians as patients, challenges and opportunities presented by physician-patients, and recommendations for treating physicians. Future articles will delve into role clarity, occupational considerations, mental health, and interactions with third parties such as the physician’s employer or licensing board. Ultimately, this series will help treating clinicians provide the best care to their physician-patients and successfully navigate the unique challenges that may arise, especially when the diagnosis may have an impact on their ability to practice medicine.

Mashup Score: 0Sebaceous Neoplasm With Defective DNA Mismatch Repair - 3 day(s) ago
A woman in her 70s presented with a cutaneous lesion composed of a mixture of basaloid cells and sebocytes arranged in lobules, most consistent with a sebaceous adenoma (Figure 1). Immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair genes showed loss of nuclear expression of MSH2 and MSH6 in the tumor cells. Representative images are depicted in Figure 2. Microsatellite instability testing showed instability in all of the 7 informative markers analyzed, indicative of defective DNA mismatch repair function within the tumor.

In July 2023, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services and a group of New Hampshire hospitals reached a settlement in a 5-year-long legal dispute over the practice of psychiatric boarding in hospital emergency departments. The hospitals successfully made the novel argument that boarding violates their rights, as well as those of patients. The case is a new and significant development in the legal battles among patients, advocates, hospitals, and states that have arisen as psychiatric boarding remains a pervasive challenge in American emergency departments.

Mashup Score: 0Acute and Complicated Inflammatory Pericarditis - 4 day(s) ago
Inflammatory disease of the pericardium represents a relatively common presentation, especially among the young. For the most part, inflammatory pericardial disease can be expeditiously and effectively managed without significant sequelae. However, some individuals present with severe and recurrent illness, representing significant therapeutic challenges. During the past decade, there have been great strides made in developing an evidence-based approach to management of inflammatory pericardial disease, the result of which has been the development of (1) a systematic, protocoled approach to initial care; (2) targeted therapeutics; and (3) specialized, collaborative, and integrated care pathways.

Mashup Score: 0Focused Monitoring After Heart Failure Trials - 5 day(s) ago
Cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure (HF) are prevailing end points in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in patients who have HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The low incidence of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in recent RCTs contrasts with the 5-year mortality rate of 75.5% and readmission risk of 48.5% among hospitalized HFrEF patients, indicating enrollment of stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III patients.1,2 However, inclusive enrollment in RCTs may yield incomplete therapeutic information.
