Background And Aim: The effect of COVID-19 in patients with sarcoidosis has not been fully explored. The aim was to conduct a retrospective cohort study investigating outcomes in patients with sarcoidosis who were hospitalized with COVID-19.
Methods: We included patients who had diagnoses of sarcoidosis and COVID-19 between January 1, 2020, and February 28, 2021.
Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill patients serves as a management option for end-stage cardiorespiratory failure in medical and surgical conditions. Patients on ECMO are at a high risk of neurologic adverse events including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), acute ischemic stroke (AIS), seizures, diffuse cerebral edema, and hypoxic brain injury. Standard approaches to neurological monitoring for patients receiving ECMO support can be challenging for multiple reasons, including the severity of critical illness, deep sedation, and/or paralysis.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of charts of Caucasian and African American (AA) patients <50 years of age, presenting with AMI between 2010 and 2017 in an urban, community hospital in Detroit, Michigan.
Myocardial infarction (MI) following blunt chest trauma is rare, but potentially fatal. We treated a young patient for acute MI after falling chest-first on ice while playing hockey. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was performed after percutaneous stenting attempts were unsuccessful.
