Article Synopsis
- Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) use has been linked to serious electrolyte imbalances, particularly hypomagnesemia, which can lead to life-threatening conditions.
- An 80-year-old woman presented with generalized weakness and diarrhea, revealing severe electrolyte abnormalities that did not improve until her PPI medication was discontinued.
- Her hospital stay was complicated by a seizure, likely caused by electrolyte-induced changes in neuronal activity, and she also suffered from Takotsubo cardiomyopathy due to reduced heart function related to prolonged PPI use.

This likely leads to significant cost savings despite an increased per procedure cost. We sought to compare the true costs of endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) compared with "blind" fiberoptic bronchoscopy-transbronchial needle aspiration (FB-TBNA) factoring in the impact of diagnostic surgical procedures in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Presently, complete understanding of the mechanisms of OB has been elusive. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been shown to modulate repair of the injured lung in multiple disease models.
