: Retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator () gene mutations are a common cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa and X-linked cone-rod dystrophy. There have been no previous reports of association with crystalline retinopathy or pseudo-crystalline retinopathy.: We describe the history, clinical findings, retinal imaging, and electrodiagnostic studies of a patient with a tapetal-like reflex (TLR) and pseudo-crystalline retinopathy secondary to mutation.

Adjuvant Lymphatic Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Patients With Lower-Extremity Ulcers: Effects on Wound Healing and Edema.

Context: In 2012, the US wound registry estimated that the cost of managing chronic wounds in the United States exceeded $50 billion. A large percentage of these wounds are venous stasis ulcers of the lower extremity. Evidence suggests that adjuvant osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) may provide a benefit by reducing edema and subsequent healing times in venous stasis ulcers of the lower extremity.

Hemodynamic Support With a Microaxial Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device (Impella) Protects Against Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly in those with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The impact of partial hemodynamic support with a microaxial percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) on renal function after high-risk PCI remains unknown.

Objective: We tested the hypothesis that partial hemodynamic support with the Impella 2.

Endoscopy after acute myocardial infarction: an evaluation of safety.

Objectives: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI) has substantial morbidity and mortality. Several studies have been performed on the safety of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) after MI; however, these studies vary in definitions and results. We evaluated the safety and effect of EGD in patients with acute MI in a tertiary center.
