Cefepime Neurotoxicity in Patients With Normal Renal Function: An Overlooked Cause of Encephalopathy in the Intensive Care Unit.
J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep
July 2024
Joan Edwards School of Medicine, Huntington, WV, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Cefepime, a fourth-generation antibiotic, has extended antimicrobial capabilities but can cause serious side effects like myoclonus and seizures, particularly in patients with kidney issues.
- - A 69-year-old patient treated with cefepime for pneumonia experienced mental status changes that led to the diagnosis of encephalopathy, even with normal kidney function.
- - The patient's symptoms completely resolved after stopping cefepime, and the report includes similar cases found in medical literature up to now.
Bronchopleural Fistula Resolution with Endobronchial Valve Placement and Liberation from Mechanical Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Case Series.
Case Rep Crit Care

Pulmonary Department, Byrd Clinical Center, Marshall University School of Medicine, 1249 15th Street, Huntington, WV 25701, USA.
Patients who have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with persistent air leaks have worse outcomes. Endobronchial valves (EBV) are frequently deployed after pulmonary resection in noncritically ill patients to reduce and eliminate bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) with persistent air leak (PAL). Information regarding EBV placement in mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS and high volume persistent air leaks is rare and limited to case reports.

Section of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Byrd Clinical Center, Joan C Edwards School of Medicine, Marshall University, 1249 15th Street, Suite 3046, Huntington, WV, 25701, USA.
Prior studies demonstrate that a novel genomic test, the gene expression classifier (GEC), could identify a benign gene expression signature in those nodules with indeterminate cytology with a negative predictive value of greater than 95 %. Examine the performance of the AFIRMA gene expression classifier in predicting benign and malignant nodules in patients with cytologically indeterminate nodules. MEDLINE and EMBASE search for studies meeting eligibility criteria between January 1, 2005, and August 30, 2015.

J Clin Microbiol
January 2011
Department of Medicine, Marshall University, Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, Byrd Clinical Center, 1249 15th Street, Huntington, WV 25701, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Seven Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 35 isolates were analyzed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and pbp2b gene sequencing.
- Among the isolates, three penicillin-susceptible strains and one intermediate-resistant strain showed complete genomic identity with the prototype strain R6.
- Two resistant strains and one additional intermediate strain had unique sequences that distinguished them from the others, indicating genetic diversity.
