Atypical Pulmonary Metastasis of Prostate Adenocarcinoma: A Rare Phenomenon.

Unlabelled: Prostate cancer can metastasise to the lung. Most common presentations described in the literature are solitary pulmonary nodules, lymphangitic spread and, rarely, pleural effusion. We describe a case of prostate adenocarcinoma with diffuse bilateral reticulonodular and lymphangitic pulmonary metastasis, and malignant pleural effusion while being on androgen deprivation therapy.

A Post-Neurosurgical Infection due to KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Treated with Meropenem-Vaborbactam: A Case Report.

This case report describes a patient with post-neurosurgical infection and bacteremia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. There is limited evidence to guide antibiotic treatment decisions for such infections. The patient was treated with meropenem-vaborbactam (MEV).

Novel coronavirus-related acute respiratory distress syndrome in a patient with twin pregnancy: A case report.

We present the case of a 39-year-old woman, G1P0, who had conceived twins via in-vitro fertilization, who presented at 27 weeks of gestation with nasal congestion and dry cough for 7 days. On presentation, her physical examination was benign, except for sinus tachycardia, and she was oxygenating adequately on room air. Laboratory studies were unremarkable, except a PCR test positive for SARS-COV2, and a CT scan of her chest showed bilateral multi-focal ground-glass opacities.

Abrupt versus gradual cessation of steroids in patients with septic shock.

Purpose: To determine if a difference in hemodynamic stability would be identified in patients with abrupt withdrawal of steroids compared to patients who underwent a taper.

Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified patients who received vasopressors followed by IV hydrocortisone for treatment of septic shock from January 1, 2013 until January 1, 2015.The primary endpoint evaluated the percent of patients requiring vasopressor re-initiation during taper and 72 h following taper, or 72 h directly following abrupt withdrawal.

Doxorubicin mediated cardiotoxicity in rats: protective role of felodipine on cardiac indices.

Anthracyclines find vital uses in the treatment of solid tumors and other kind of malignancies. A typical side effect observed with few agents of this class is dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Doxorubicin is one such agent which backs the generation of free radicals through metabolism of its quinone structure.
