A 47-year old man with HIV presented with a stroke. Imaging revealed a large mobile left-ventricular thrombus. The mass was resected using a small ventriculotomy with good early postoperative prognosis. Thrombus etiology is likely related to HIV pathology.

Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing fails to detect molecular dysregulation in the preeclamptic placenta.

Introduction: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) revolutionized our understanding of tissue complexity in health and disease and revealed massive transcriptional dysregulation across placental cell classes in early-onset, but not late-onset preeclampsia (PE). However, the multinucleated syncytium is largely inaccessible to cell dissociation. Nuclei isolation and single-nuclei RNA-seq may be preferable in the placenta; not least considering compatibility with long-term tissue storage.

Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disorder characterized by enthesopathy and osteophyte formation. DISH can also cause several other symptoms. Limited range of motion (ROM) is the most common symptom; however, dysphagia and respiratory distress are clinically important symptoms.

Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life threatening condition with age-related escalation in prevalence. Acute PE is a common and sometimes fatal disease. The approach to the evaluation should be efficient while simultaneously avoiding the risks of unnecessary testing so that therapy can be promptly initiated and potential morbidity and mortality avoided.

Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is an effective technique for controlling bleeding in cases of severe hemoptysis, with infrequent complications. While rare, spinal cord infarction is a serious potential complication of BAE.

Background: Neonatal pulmonary embolism is a rare occurrence, especially when idiopathic, instead occurring in patients with identifiable risk factors including severe dehydration, presence or history of a central venous line, or identifiable genetic causes. Given the rarity of paediatric and neonatal pulmonary emboli, few guidelines exist to support the clinician in both the initial resuscitation and ongoing management of the critically ill patient with pulmonary emboli.
Case Summary: We present a 5-day-old female with unprovoked massive pulmonary embolism and associated haemodynamic compromise.
