Insights Into Clinical Outcomes of Acute Pancreatitis With Concomitant Acute Myocardial Infarction Using the National Inpatient Sample Database.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are common conditions, occasionally sharing overlapping symptoms, posing various clinical challenges. This study aims to investigate the demographics, outcomes, and risk factors of patients admitted with AP and ACS using the National Inpatient Sample database. The database from 2016 to 2019 was analyzed, identifying patients with a primary diagnosis of AP and dividing them into 2 groups: those with ACS and those without (non-ACS).

Patients with enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma in the United States from 2000 to 2018: SEER data-base analysis.

Background: Enteropathy-Associated T-Cell Lymphoma (EATL) is a rare lymphoma of T-cell origin associated with celiac disease. There is limited evidence in the literature about the incidence and causes of death in patients with EATL.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study through analyzing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data base to determine the incidence, trends and causes of death of patients with EATL in the U.

Fibrosing Cholestatic Hepatitis Masquerading Acute Rejection in Hepatitis C Virus-Positive Donor Liver Graft.

Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis is a rare complication that manifests in patients receiving organ transplantation from seropositive (hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus) donors. We report a rare case of such a phenomenon in the immediate post-transplant period.

A Novel Mutation in the ATP7B Gene: A Rare Manifestation of Wilson Disease With Liver Failure.

Wilson disease is a hereditary disorder which involves anomalous copper metabolism. Typically, the presentation is systemic, involving vital organs such as the liver, kidney, and brain, among others. We report a unique case presenting with solitary organ involvement as acute liver failure with novel ATP7B gene mutation, which has never been reported before.

COVID-19 vaccination-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis presenting as acute liver failure.

Acute liver failure following COVID-19 infection and/or vaccination is very rare and can be secondary to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Liver injury in such cases appears to be extrinsic and thus treatment hinges on prompt diagnosis and reversal of the primary disease. We describe a patient who developed acute liver failure secondary to HLH after receiving a second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Panspinal Epidural Abscess: A Devastating Complication of Group B Streptococcal Bacteremia.

Background: SEAs are infrequent; however, panspinal infections are even rarer, especially when GBS infection is involved. The cornerstone of treatment is based on early diagnosis and use of targeted antimicrobial therapy; in case of cord compression or neurological compromise, urgent surgical intervention should be pursued. Overall, it is an infrequent condition and therefore requires prospective multicenter studies.
