Hypoglycemic hemineglect a stroke mimic.

Acute hypoglycemia may mimic acute ischemic stroke, but to our knowledge this has never been reported as transient hemineglect syndrome. We present a 60-year-old male with known diabetes mellitus who was brought to the hospital as a stroke alert. The patient had undetectable glucose levels upon arrival of emergency medical services (EMS), therefore hypertonic glucose was given.

Transmission of COVID-19 From an Asymptomatic Mother to Fetus Leading to Death of Neonate From Pneumonia.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has rarely impacted neonates. When infection does occur, it is typically asymptomatic. We describe a case of a neonate born to a 25-year-old mother who was COVID-19 positive but asymptomatic.

Cardiac Arrest and Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Following an Emergency Caesarean Section in a COVID-19 Patient.

While young, healthy individuals without underlying medical conditions have generally not suffered catastrophic health consequences from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), gravid patients appear to be at much higher risk of complications from this virus. A 29-year-old G3P2 patient at 30 weeks and three days presented with worsening dyspnea and chest pain after testing positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection two days prior. Notably, she had not received COVID-19 vaccination.

A Case of Tubo-Ovarian Abscess in a 15-Year-Old Female After Appendectomy Complicated by Peritonitis.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) are serious diagnoses to consider in reproductive-age women presenting with abdominal or pelvic pain. Management can be medical or surgical depending on severity. This case report outlines the unique presentation of TOA in a 15-year-old female presenting with acute abdominal pain with a recent past surgical history of appendectomy.

A Case of Recovery From COVID-19 Pneumonia in Pregnancy After Vaginal Delivery in ICU.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has important implications for gravid patients as they are more likely to experience severe complications of pregnancy such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome if infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to normal physiological adaptations of pregnancy, COVID-19 may strain an already stressed respiratory system, making delivery a viable treatment option. We present a case of a gravid patient infected with COVID-19 pneumonia who delivered vaginally in the intensive care unit (ICU) at our hospital.
