Coronary Artery-to-Superior Vena Cava Fistula: Contemporary Role of Phonocardiography in Diagnosis.

• An uncommon case of coronary artery–to–SVC fistula is described. • Knowledge of the associated physical examination with TTE findings aids diagnosis. • New POCUS systems with microphones directly correlate murmurs and pathology.

Comparison of radiation exposure associated with transradial and transfemoral access: An updated meta-analysis.

Objectives: To assess differences in radiation exposure between transradial access (TRA) and transfemoral access (TFA) for coronary procedures.

Background: TRA is associated with increased radiation exposure as compared to TFA. We compared radiation exposure between the two access sites.

Genetic Diversity of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale Isolated from Chickens and Turkeys in the United States.

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) is an important bacterial pathogen of great economic significance to poultry production. This bacterium causes severe disease in chickens and turkeys worldwide. The objective of this study was to characterize ORT isolates from two different geographic locations in the United States by multilocus sequence typing (MLST).

A Rare Case of Unicuspid Aortic Valve with Postoperative Heart Block.

Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is an extremely rare cause of aortic stenosis, accounting for about 0.02% of the adult population. We present a rare case of UAV in a young woman who presented with dyspnea on exertion.

Morbidity and Mortality: A Case Report of Metastatic Bone Disease.

Metastatic prostate cancer and multiple myeloma (MM) usually present with bone lesions, posing a diagnostic challenge in males presenting in late stages. In this case report, an 86-year-old male who had not seen a physician in over 30 years presented with complaints of hip pain and progressive difficulty in walking for three weeks. Outpatient X-ray of the right hip showed multiple lytic bone lesions, raising suspicion of MM.
