Naloxone-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is a rare but reported entity that can occur following naloxone use in the reversal of opioid overdose. Proposed mechanisms include an adrenergic crisis secondary to catecholamine surge which causes more volume shift to pulmonary vasculature, subsequently leading to pulmonary edema. It appears to be more common when higher doses of naloxone are used. We present a case of a patient with opioid overdose came with altered mental status developed early features of pulmonary edema following the administration of multiple doses of naloxone. She responded well with the administration of diuretics and oxygen supplementation. Her oxygen requirements improved and didn't require mechanical ventilation.

Sarcoidosis is a rare, multisystemic disease of unknown etiology, characterized by noncaseating granulomas in various organs. The disease often presents with nonspecific symptoms that complicate the diagnosis. We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented to her family doctor with weight loss, cervical lymphadenopathy, parotid edema, and cutaneous lesions, initially raising suspicion of a lymphoproliferative disorder.

Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is used to evaluate donor lungs prior to lung transplantation. Development of pulmonary edema during EVLP is generally thought to represent inflammatory breakdown of the air-fluid barrier and these lungs are declined for transplant. We present the case of a donor lung that underwent stapled wedge resection during cold storage for air leak and the subsequent development of profound (∼650 mL) pulmonary edema around the staple line during EVLP.

Objective: To describe the presentation, outcomes, and management strategies for cases of subcapsular liver hematoma associated with preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Methods: This was a case series of individuals with subcapsular liver hematoma managed at a single level IV center over a 10-year period, from 2013 to 2024. Presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory findings, time of onset, management strategies, acute perinatal and maternal outcomes, and long-term outcomes such as subsequent pregnancies were reviewed in the medical record and recorded.

Background: Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring prompt intervention. While both mannitol and hypertonic saline (HTS) are commonly used hyperosmotic agents for treating elevated ICP, there is insufficient evidence comparing their renal safety profiles and overall effectiveness. This study protocol outlines a pragmatic randomized trial to compare protocol-based 11.
