Demographic and clinical profile of patients suffering prolonged severe hypoxia in COVID-19.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may result in rapid onset of hypoxemic respiratory failure. This study aimed to characterize the factors and outcomes associated with prolonged hypoxia in patients with COVID-19. Prolonged severe hypoxia (PSH) was defined as hypoxia requiring ≥6 L/min of oxygen by nasal cannula or equivalent for more than 10 days.

Burden of arrhythmias and predictors of mortality among multiple myeloma patients with arrhythmias.

Arrhythmias are a major cardiac complication reported among patients with multiple myeloma (MM), but these have not been further characterized in this population. We explored the prevalence of arrhythmias and examined the predictors of mortality among patients with MM with arrhythmias. The National Inpatient Sample data collected between 2016 and 2018 were used to conduct retrospective analyses.

Retrospective analyses of factors influencing arrhythmias and the impact of arrhythmias on inpatient outcomes among hospitalized patients with hemochromatosis.

Background: Though hemochromatosis is described as an infiltrative cardiomyopathy that can result in arrhythmias, studies are lacking on the impact of arrhythmias in this population. We examined the prevalence, factors influencing arrhythmias, and impact of arrhythmias on inpatient outcomes among hospitalized patients with hemochromatosis.

Methods: Retrospective cohort analyses were conducted using data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) collected between 2016 and 2018.

Comparison of Patient Clinical characteristics and Outcomes Between Different COVID-19 Peak Periods: A Single Center Retrospective Propensity Matched Analysis.

Introduction While Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) specific treatments have been instituted, overall mortality rates among hospitalized patients remain significant. Our study aimed to evaluate patient clinical characteristics and outcomes comparing the different COVID-19 infection peak periods. Methods This is a retrospective study of all adult patients hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 between March 1 to April 24, 2020 and November 1 to December 31, 2020, which corresponded to the first and second waves of COVID-19 infection in our institution, respectively.

New Onset Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus Despite Cefepime Renal Dose Adjustment.

Cefepime, a widely used fourth-generation cephalosporin for coverage of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, has been reported to have associated neurological adverse effects. These effects have been seen mostly in patients mostly with impaired renal function, and currently, dosing is based on creatinine clearance to reduce its toxic effect profile. Despite renal dose adjustment, we present a case of a 40-year-old woman who was managed for bacteremia, acute kidney injury, and hemorrhagic shock.

Page Kidney Complicating Kidney Biopsy after Stopping Apixaban: A Physician's Dilemma.

Page kidney was described by Page, following very elaborate experiments with animal kidneys in 1939, with persistent arterial hypertension from "cellophane perinephritis." Subsequently, it was reported after trauma, from renal cysts and tumors, and from intrarenal hematoma complicating percutaneous kidney biopsy. We describe Page kidney associated with acute kidney injury 26 days after an uncomplicated ultrasound-guided right native kidney biopsy.

Post-Renal Biopsy Acute Kidney Injury and Page Kidney from Intra-Renal Hematoma Aggravated by Reversible Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Following Renal Arterial Embolization.

BACKGROUND Page kidney was described by Dr. Irving Page in animal kidneys in 1939 with renal failure and persistent arterial hypertension from "cellophane perinephritis". By 2009, about 100 cases of Page kidney had been reported.

Work-Related Stressors Among Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Home Visitors: A Qualitative Study.

Background The Florida Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program delivers evidence-based home visiting services to over 1400 families each year. Home visitors are integral in providing resources for families to promote healthy pregnancy, child development, family wellness, and self-sufficiency. Due to the nature of this work, home visitors experience work-related pressures and stressors that can impact staff well-being and retention.
