Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to ___ because you had positive blood cultures from your previous admission. We found that the bacteria in the blood culture was likely just a contaminant and did not need to be treated with antibiotics. You were having muscle cramping so we checked labs which showed that you had some injury to your muscle cells called rhabdomyolysis. Because of the rhabdomyolysis you received IV fluid hydration and your labs have normalized. You also had a viral gastroenteritis causing you to have diarrhea. However, this improved with IV fluids as well. You also developed shortness of breath. You had chest x-rays which showed that you may have had some fluid in your lungs so we gave you some medication to get rid of the extra fluid. Your breathing has now improved and is back to normal. You also developed some foot pain which we think is due to your nerve tissue in your legs so you were started on a new pain medication. Please ___ with your outpatient providers as instructed tomorrow. Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. Thank you very much for allowing us to participate in your care. All best wishes for your recovery. Sincerely, Your ___ medical team

Chief Complaint: nausea/vomiting, headaches Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: Tunneled dialysis catheter placement ___ Pan-retinal photocoagulation ___ History of Present Illness: Pt is ___ M with IDDM c/b diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and likely gastroparesis vs. cannabis hyperemesis syndrome who presents with nausea/vomiting, headaches and blurry vision. Pt has been admitted multiple times in the last few months with similar complaints thought to be a combination of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome vs. diabetic gastroparesis and hypertensive urgency. He has questionable medication compliance at home and has left AMA for most of these admissions. He was last hospitalized ___ for similar complaints. He was initially sent to the MICU for BP control as it was initially thought that his headaches and blurry vision were representative of hypertensive urgency. However, on further optho eval, it was felt that his vision changes were due to more chronic changes associated with diabetic retinopathy and poorly controlled HTN. This hospitalization was also c/b worsening renal function with a Cr that was in the ___ range whereas priors were noted to be creeping up from 2->4 in the last few months. He was evaluated by renal who did not feel he necessitated RRT at this time but a recent note mentioned concern for rapidly progressive nephropathy (of note, pt had also been on immunosuppression in the past for what was felt to be FSGS.) BP meds were titrated this admission, however, pt left AMA prior to optimization of BP meds. On presentation, pt reports that he left from his most recent admission b/c he felt very anxious and needed to be with family, especially in light of his birthday tomorrow. He has not been taking all of his meds given intractable nausea and vomiting at home. He also reports persistent LUQ pain which is fairly chronic for him. He also reports severe headache that has been persistent for the last few weeks and vision changes that have become more severe for the last 2 weeks as well. States he can only see outlines of shadows and reports new R eye pain. He denies CP, SOB, dizziness/lightheadedness, fevers, chills, cough, or dysuria.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with ESRD, needs dialysis// needs TLC for dialysis COMPARISON: US of right upper extremity veins TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ radiologist performed the procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 100 mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 30 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 2 min, 4 mGy PROCEDURE: PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The right upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire was then passed distally into the IVC. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a tunnel over the upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a small skin incision was made at the tunnel entry site. A 23cm tip-to-cuff length catheter was selected. The catheter was tunneled from the entry site towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed over the ___ wire through which the catheter was threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled away. The catheter was sutured in place with 0 silk sutures. Steri-strips were also used to close the venotomy incision site. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The catheter was flushed and both lumens were capped. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. FINDINGS: Patent right internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing dialysis catheter with tip terminating in the right atrium. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of a 23cm tip-to-cuff length tunneled dialysis line. The tip of the catheter terminates in the right atrium. The catheter is ready for use. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: renal failure.

You came in with nausea, vomiting, headaches and blurry vision. We think that this may have been due to at least in part a buildup of toxins from your progressive kidney failure. You were started on dialysis and had some improvement in your symptoms, although not full resolution. During the admission in addition to starting dialysis we also adjusted the medications for your blood pressure and diabetes, and you underwent a procedure for your right eye. Because of your aunt's illness you left against medical advice on ___, with a plan to return shortly thereafter. It is of utmost importance that you follow the instructions to keep your dialysis catheter clean while you are out of the hospital. We have also provided prescriptions for the medications that you do not have and a list of changes to your medications that we have made. At this point your blood pressure remains poorly controlled, and so it will be important for your medical team to keep working on this when you return. It will also be important for you to return for further dialysis. Upon your return our medical team will also discuss further with the eye doctors the future plans for your eye treatments. For your insulin our diabetes team has recommended 9 units of long acting per day, as well as 5 units of short acting with each meal plus the sliding scale. You can take 5 units at night if you have a late meal, but if not then you can just use the sliding scale. Similarly if you do not eat at other meal times you can just use the sliding scale alone.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the ED at ___ after sustaining a fall. You had an x-ray and a CT scan which showed you to have several right rib fractures and a small right lung injury. You had a CT of your spine and head which showed no acute injuries. You were admitted to the Acute Care Surgery team for pain control and respiratory monitoring. You are now medically cleared to be discharged to home. Please note the following discharge instructions: * Your injury caused right rib fractures ___ which can cause severe pain and subsequently cause you to take shallow breaths because of the pain. * You should take your pain medication as directed to stay ahead of the pain otherwise you won't be able to take deep breaths. If the pain medication is too sedating take half the dose and notify your physician. * Pneumonia is a complication of rib fractures. In order to decrease your risk you must use your incentive spirometer 4 times every hour while awake. This will help expand the small airways in your lungs and assist in coughing up secretions that pool in the lungs. * You will be more comfortable if you use a cough pillow to hold against your chest and guard your rib cage while coughing and deep breathing. * Symptomatic relief with ice packs or heating pads for short periods may ease the pain. * Narcotic pain medication can cause constipation therefore you should take a stool softener twice daily and increase your fluid and fiber intake if possible. * Do NOT smoke * If your doctor allows, non-steroidal ___ drugs are very effective in controlling pain ( ie, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Naprosyn) but they have their own set of side effects so make sure your doctor approves. * Return to the Emergency Room right away for any acute shortness of breath, increased pain or crackling sensation around your ribs (crepitus). Pain regimen: ___ - ___ - Take Oxycontin 20mg in the AM - Take Oxycontin 10mg in the ___ - Dilaudid 2mg every 3 to 6hrs as needed for pain (for 5 days from discharge) - After complete your Dilaudid regimen, you can take Tylenol OR Advil for pain. You can by them over the counter. - Baclofen 10mg three times a day (for eleven days after discharge) ___ - ___ - Take Oxycontin 10 mg - one in the morning and one in the afternoon

INSTRUCTIONS AFTER HAND SURGERY: - You were in the hospital for hand surgery. It is normal to feel tired or "washed out" after surgery, and this feeling should improve over the first few days to week. - Resume your regular activities as tolerated, but please follow your weight bearing precautions strictly at all times. ACTIVITY AND WEIGHT BEARING: - Non-weightbearing right upper extremity, light activities of daily living only (hair brushing, tooth brushing, etc) MEDICATIONS: 1) Take Tylenol ___ every 6 hours around the clock. This is an over the counter medication. 2) Add oxycodone as needed for increased pain. Aim to wean off this medication in 1 week or sooner. This is an example on how to wean down: Take 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed x 1 day, then 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed x 1 day, then 1 tablet every 8 hours as needed x 2 days, then 1 tablet every 12 hours as needed x 1 day, then 1 tablet every before bedtime as needed x 1 day. Then continue with Tylenol for pain. 3) Do not stop the Tylenol until you are off of the narcotic medication. 4) Per state regulations, we are limited in the amount of narcotics we can prescribe. If you require more, you must contact the office to set up an appointment because we cannot refill this type of pain medication over the phone. 5) Narcotic pain relievers can cause constipation, so you should drink eight 8oz glasses of water daily and continue following the bowel regimen as stated on your medication prescription list. These meds (senna, colace, miralax) are over the counter and may be obtained at any pharmacy. 6) Do not drink alcohol, drive a motor vehicle, or operate machinery while taking narcotic pain relievers. 7) Please take all medications as prescribed by your physicians at discharge. 8) Continue all home medications unless specifically instructed to stop by your surgeon. WOUND CARE: - You may shower. No baths or swimming for at least 4 weeks. - Any stitches or staples that need to be removed will be taken out at your 2-week follow up appointment. - Incision may be left open to air unless actively draining.

Dear Ms. ___, You came here with abdominal pain and were found to have a bowel obstruction on imaging. You were taken to the OR where you underwent an enteroenterostomy. A J-tube was placed to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition. You hospitalization was complicated by 2 falls. Initial imaging demonstrated a brain bleed but repeat imaging was stable so neurosurgery did not feel operative management was appropriate. We do think your brain bleed did lead to low sodium levels in the hospital (a condition called SIADH). We anticipate that your sodium level will improve with time. In the meantime please restrict your fluid intake by mouth to less than 1L. The rehab facility will check your sodium levels as well. You should follow up with Dr. ___ our surgery clinic in ___ weeks. You can reach his office at ___ to set up an appointment.

Chief Complaint: low grade fevers i/s/o robotic pyelolithotomy and previous urine leak Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___: right ureteral stent exchange History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ y/o female well known to our service who underwent right robotic partial nephrectomy and pyelolithotomy (for a large staghorn calculus) on ___. The renal pelvic tissue was thin and friable due to inflammation from the stone and the closure was poor; she developed a urine leak and was discharged home with Foley catheter, ureteral stent, and surgical drain in place. She was subsequently readmitted ___ - ___ with an infected urinoma for which she had a drain placed by ___. Blood and urine cultures on admission were negative but culture of the purulent material from the urinoma grew multiple organisms; initially only Pseudomonas aeruginosa was speciated and she was sent home on a 14-day course of PO ciprofloxacin. Full speciation/sensitivities were requested on the culture and Enterococcus and E. coli were additionally isolated. In the interval she has done well. Her surgical ___ drain and Foley catheter have been removed, leaving only the ___ drain still in place. Her prednisone dose was tapered to 2.5 mg, then to 1 mg and was discontinued entirely ___ days ago. Her methotrexate was increased from 7.5 to 10 mg. She completed the PO ciprofloxacin two days ago. This morning she felt very well, but around 1330 today she began to feel hot. Her temperature was approximately 100 degrees at that time and subsequently increased to 101.3. She had some somewhat increased fatigue but no chills, sweats, or other localizing symptoms. She has been having BMs and passing flatus. There has been no dysuria, frequency, urgency, or change in the appearance of the urine. She called in and was advised to present to the ED for evaluation. In triage her HR was elevated to 133; it subsequently decreased to the 100s without intervention. Her temperature was initially 100.8 and uptrended to 101.3 while she was being evaluated.

Features consistent with cirrhosis (confirmed by trichrome stain). 2. Focally moderate portal/septal mononuclear inflammation, including prominent plasma cells, with focal periportal extension and mild associated collapse (confirmed by reticulin stain). 3. Focally prominent balloon degeneration with abundant intracytoplasmic hyalin, minimal predominantly small droplet steatosis, and associated neutrophils. 4. Frequent lobular neutrophils, including scattered neutrophilic aggregates; immunohistochemical stain for CMV is negative, with satisfactory control. 5. Mild intrahepatocytic and focal canalicular cholestasis. 6. Lymphocytic cholangitis with bile duct damage and foci of ductular proliferation with scattered associated neutrophils 7. No absolute bile ductopenia identified (immunohistochemical stain for CK7 is evaluated). Note: The features appear to be those of two concomitant processes: involvement by patient's known PBC with autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome (as evidenced by the lymphoplasmacytic inflammation with focal ___ extension and mild associated collapse), and a superimposed toxic/metabolic injury (demonstrated by abundant hyalin and focally prominent lobular neutrophils with focal balloon degeneration). Compared to the patient's prior biopsy (___), the mononuclear inflammatory features compatible with patient's known PBC/AIH overlap syndrome share very focal morphologic similarity to the current sample, with now evident cirrhosis and the above described toxic/metabolic injury.

Pertinent Results: IMAGING STUDIES ***Abdominal MRI performed at ___ ___ Comparison of in and out of phase imaging does not show significant signal dropout to suggest fatty infiltration. Left lobe of the liver appears somewhat prominent. There is somewhat lobular reticulated pattern [sic] the hepatic parenchyma seen on T1 imaging suggestive of diffuse liver disease, fibrosis and cirrhosis. Early arterial imaging shows somewhat heterogeneous patt4ern of enhancement. There are noted to be slightly more prominent foci of enchancement seen in hepatic segment 1, please see series 12 image 57 and in hepatic segment 6, please see axial series 12 image 38. There are a few scattered subcentimeter nonenhancing T2 hyperintensities within the right lobe of the liver suggestive of cysts. The infrahepatic IVC is not visualized and there are prominent right pararenal varices as welll as paraspinal varices. There is abdominal fluid, ascites. There is [sic] some areas of soft tissue thickening around the liver, please see series 3 image 79, without enhancement which may represent adhesions. Left kidney is not visualized consistent with provided history of Wilms tumor, prior surgery as child. Right kidney appears prominent, possibly at due to compensatory hypertrophy without suspicious focal lesion. There does not appear to be enlargement of the right adrenal gland although it is not well seen due to patient motion. No suspicious splenic lesion is seen. No suspicious pancreatic lesion is identified. Impression: Cirrhotic liver. Early arterial postcontrast imaging shows heterogeneous hepatic enhancement with two slightly more prominent foci of enhancement as described above; these findings may be due to transient hepatic vascular differences however continued surveillance is suggested. Ascites. Infra-hepatic IVC appears occluded and there are prominent right-sided pararenal, paraspinal varices. --- Informal review of the MRI images here revealed: --- Nodular cirrhosis with ascites. Left nephrectomy. Right kidney is hypertrophied. The spleen measures 9.3 cm, no evidence of splenomegaly. There are two cysts/hamartomas in the right hepatic lobe which are non-enhancing. There is a 9-10 mm area of enhancement in the caudate but given no washout, is less concerning for HCC. No clear evidence of IVC thrombosis. Abd US with Duplex Doppler ___: 1. Coarsened liver may be due to fatty infiltration and/or cirrhosis. Other more advanced forms such as fibrosis/cirrhosis not excluded on this study. 2. No hepatic lesions are identified. However, MRI is more sensitive for detection of small hepatic lesions. 3. Wall-to-wall color flow in the visualized IVC. No evidence of IVC thrombosis seen sonographically.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital for work-up of your liver disease and due to concern on your recent MRI that you could have a clot in the IVC vein. You had an ultrasound performed, which showed no evidence of clot, and your MRI images were reviewed by our radiologists who felt that there was no clear evidence of clot in the IVC vein. While in the hospital, you were given a blood transfusion in order to treat your anemia. You also had an endoscopy which showed no esophageal varices (distended veins, which are a complication of cirrhosis), but did show irritation of the esophagus, for which you were started on omeprazole to protect your esophageal lining. After discharge, please continue to eat a low-sodium diet as you discussed with the nutritionist. Also be sure to follow up with your regular providers (details below).

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Bedbound. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report STUDY: CTA of the head and neck. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ male patient with history of ataxia, evaluate posterior fossa for intracranial hemorrhage or ischemia. COMPARISON: No prior examinations are available. TECHNIQUE: Axial non-contrast images were obtained through the brain. Subsequently, axial MDCT images were obtained from the aortic arch through the head convexity with intravenous contrast material, axial, coronal, and sagittal thick-slab multiplanar reformations were generated. Curved reformations and 3D volume-rendered reconstructions of the intracranial and cervical circulations were also generated at the separate workstation by the advanced imaging lab. CT PERFUSION: Also perfusion sequence was obtained, and color maps for detection of the mean transit time, blood flow, and blood volume were obtained. FINDINGS: NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, mass effect, or shifting of the normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are normal. The orbits are unremarkable, the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. CTA OF THE HEAD: There is vascular anatomical variation consistent with hypoplasia of the A1 segment on the right. The right posterior communicating artery is patent with fetal pattern. The anterior communicating artery demonstrates three anterior cerebral arteries. There is atherosclerotic plaque at the bifurcation of the left middle cerebral artery, with tortuosity of the inferior branch, no aneurysms larger than 3 mm in size are seen. There is no evidence of vascular malformation or high-grade stenosis. CTA OF THE NECK: The aortic arch demonstrates a three-vessel branch morphology, the common carotid arteries are widely patent as well as the vertebral arteries with no evidence of flow stenotic lesion. CTA PERFUSION: There is no evidence of abnormal mean transit time, blood flow, or cerebral blood volume to indicate areas of ischemia or penumbra. If there is persistent or significant clinical concern for acute infarction, correlation with MRI of the brain is advised. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with CVA and worsening mental status. COMPARISON: ___ nonenhanced head CT and head CTA. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT sections were obtained through the brain without administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations, and thin slice bone algorithm reconstructions were reviewed. FINDINGS: Hypodensity in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule (2:18) is slightly more conspicuous than on the exam 4 hours prior, but this could be accounted for by differences in patient positioning, volume averaging, and slice selection. There is no evidence of hemorrhage, mass effect, or large territorial infarction. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The basal cisterns appear patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. The pineal gland is slightly prominent measuring approximately 15 mm in anterio-posterior by 14 mm in transverse dimension and partially calcified. No fracture is identified. A mucous retention cyst is present in the right maxillary sinus. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are otherwise clear. IMPRESSION: No definite change since the study 4 hours prior. Apparent increase in conspicuity of a focal hypodensity in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule could be accounted for by differences in technique. Radiology Report STUDY: MRI of the head. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ man with ataxia, hemiparesis, stroke. COMPARISON: Prior CTA of the head dated ___. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1, axial T2, axial FLAIR, axial magnetic susceptibility, and axial diffusion-weighted sequences were obtained through the brain. FINDINGS: Slow diffusion is identified in the posterior limb of the left internal capsule, demonstrated on the DWI and ADC maps, this area measures approximately 5 x 21 mm in transverse dimension, there is no evidence of susceptibility changes to suggest hemorrhagic transformation, no significant mass effect is identified, there is no evidence of hydrocephalus.

Total DLP (Body) = 428 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Prior PET-CT from ___ FINDINGS: HEART AND VASCULATURE: Pulmonary vasculature is well opacified to the subsegmental level without filling defect to indicate a pulmonary embolus. The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of dissection or intramural hematoma. The heart, pericardium, and great vessels are within normal limits. No pericardial effusion is seen. AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: There is no axillary or supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. There are multiple, calcified, enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, measuring up to 1.7 cm in the subcarinal station (series 301; image 106). There is no left hilar lymphadenopathy. Soft tissue density nodules are seen in the right hilum, which surround, but did not appear to invade the right hilar pulmonary vasculature (series 601; image 28, series 301; image 98). PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. LUNGS/AIRWAYS: There is moderate background centrilobular emphysema, most notable at the bilateral lung apices. There is lingular and left basilar atelectasis without left lung focal consolidation. There are multiple, spicular, nodules and masses throughout the right middle and lower lobes, in a perilymphatic distribution. These show minimal surrounding ground-glass with air bronchograms in multiple areas. There are also a few areas of airway obliteration beyond the subsegmental level. Largest mass is seen in the medial right lung base measuring 4.1 x 2.2 x 1.6 cm (series 601; image 36, series 301; image 160). Neoplastic etiology is favored for these findings, much less likely infectious. Recommend tissue diagnosis for further evaluation. BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality. ABDOMEN: Included portion of the upper abdomen is unremarkable. There is a small hiatal hernia. There is nonspecific thickening of the bilateral adrenal glands. BONES: No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? There is no acute fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism or acute aortic abnormality. 2.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted for workup of your atypical chest pain. During your visit, you were consulted by nephrology and your creatinine (which is a surrogate marker for your kidney function improved). The renal doctors feel ___ your kidneys have improved because you were slightly dehydrated. You have been experiencing a lot of heartburn and upset stomach lately. For this reason, we performed an upper GI endoscopy. This showed gastritis or irritation of your stomach. The GI doctors also performed a biopsy. For this reason you should follow up with them. They will mail you the results of the biopsy in ___ weeks. If you do not hear from them within 3 weeks, please call the office of Dr. ___ to enquire about the biopsy results. We also wanted to make sure that your pain was not caused by your heart. Your exercise stress test was normal. In addition, your cardiac enzymes were normal. Also, we evaluated your heart with an echocardiogram. It showed that your heart was somewhat enlarged. It also showed that your heart was pumping bloody normally without any valve or motion abnormalities. For this reason, we can safely say that you have not recently had a heart attack. However, you should try to maintain a healthy diet, regular exercise, and close follow up with your physicians. Please resume your normal home medications. We made the following changes to your medications. 1. START: Please take lasix 20mg once a day 2. START: Please take omeprazole 40mg once a day 3. STOP: Indocin. If you experience any of the danger symptoms listed below please call Dr. ___ consider coming in to the emergency department.

Pt states that flank pain started 1 week ago, gradual onset, she went to ___ clinic and given cipro for UTI. UA at that time showed trace leuks, Since then the pain has progressively worsened now ___ in right flank non-radiating, sharp. No dysuria, hematuria. No bowel changes. Denies f/c/cp/sob/abd pain. Pt notably went to clinic because of the flank pain which started somewhat acutely and had simultaneous oiliguria but more frequent urination. Never had hematuria or dysuria and never had these symptoms in the past. Notes very different from rheumatoid arthritis flares int he past involving knees and sometimes her elbows. Has never involved her hip. Furthermore, pt notes no changes in activity or exercise, no recent travel, no changes in medications. Pt has never had subjective fevers at home and is unclear why she is having this severe sharp pain in her flank radiating down to her buttocks and upper thigh. She has not had midline back pain either upper or lower. She is still able to walk with the pain although it is uncomfortable and notes that she needs assistance sometimes given the pain but otherwise is fully functional at home with ADLs. Pt notes that with effort, she is able to lift herself from a supine position to sitting and from sitting to standing but it is not easy for her given the pain. Pt has had a brief history ___ Cr 1.4 (baseline 0.6-1.0) and this was concerning for possible renal injury from celecoxib which she had taken for her RA in the past. Now she is on pred 5 and methotrexate injections.

Dear Ms. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of headache, blurry vision, and right upper extremity numbness resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: 1. Smoking 2. Hypertension Please start taking Atorvastatin 40mg every evening. Please also start taking Lovenox 80mg subcutaneously every day while also taking Warfarin 5mg daily for blood thinner therapy. You may stop taking Lovenox when INR (level used to check for efficacy of Warfarin) is between 2 and 3 for 24 hours. Due to starting to take Coumadin, please stop taking Aspirin at this time. Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician as listed below. Please call ___ to arrange to have a repeat ultrasound of your L arm 1 month following discharge to determine if previously seen blood clot has improved. Please call ___ to arrange for follow up in ___ to discuss findings of this ultrasound. Please see your primary care doctor, ___, on ___ at 3pm at ___ follow up and to have your INR checked while you are being initiated on Coumadin. Please obtain labwork provided in form as outpatient at Lab Services here at ___. Please follow up in ___ in ___ (phone number: ___ in near future to follow up these labs to evaluate for propensity to form blood clots. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - Sudden partial or complete loss of vision - Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - Sudden weakness of one side of the body - Sudden drooping of one side of the face - Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body Please make sure you follow-up with the Cardiology Department to receive Kings of Hearts. You will also require a Cardiology procedure called "TEE" in which will be scheduled for you and the department will reach out to you. Sincerely, Your ___ Neurology/Neurosurgery Team

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were admitted for shortness of breath. We found that you had heart failure and an irregular condition called atrial fibrillation. The testing that we did made us concerned that you had a heart condition called amyloidosis. We did a biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis of amyloidosis. We have sent the tissue to a specialized lab to determine exactly what kind of amyloidosis it is, since that will determine treatment. We treated your heart failure symptoms with diuretics and you urinated out your extra fluid. We are discharging you home on your home furosemide. In terms of the atrial fibrillation, you could not undergo cardioversion since you had a blood clot in your heart. Instead, now we are treating the blood clot with a medication called Coumadin (warfarin). You need to follow-up with our ___ CLinic for management of your Coumadin dose. For now, you also need to inject yourself with Lovenox twice a day until the Coumadin levels are appropriate. Your cardiologist here, Dr. ___ like to see you in his clinic for further management of your heart failure and amyloidosis. We have made an appointment for you, information is below. Please weigh yourself every morning and record your weights, and bring them to the clinic. On behalf of your medical team, take care. -___ medical team.

Additionally, there is increased mass effect upon the right cerebral hemisphere with increased shift of the usually midline structures to the left, now measuring 13 mm as compared to 9 mm on most recent prior examination from the same day. Additionally, there is increased effacement of the suprasellar cistern with concern for downward transtentorial herniation. Dilatation of the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle with evidence of transependymal CSF flow is similar to prior and consistent with entrapment. A previusly seen small amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage within the right sylvian fissure is not clearly evident on the current examination. No new left-sided hemorrhage is identified. A nondisplaced right temporal bone fracture is similar to prior. Mucosal thickening is seen within the ethmoid air cells. The mastoid air cells remain well aerated. IMPRESSION: Increasing size of right frontoparietal subdural hematoma with increased mass effect resulting in increased subfalcine herniation and concern for downward transtentorial herniation. Dr. ___ communicated the above results to Dr. ___ at 6:41 p.m. on ___, immediately after discovery. Findings were known to the surgical team and patient was being sent emergently to the operating room for decompression. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Assess ET tube. ET tube is in standard position. Cardiac size is normal. The lungs are clear. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. The appearance of the mediastinum is unchanged. Radiology Report SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST REASON FOR EXAM: Assess NG tube. NG tube tip is out of view below the diaphragm, the side port is in the stomach. Cardiomediastinal contours are normal. ET tube is in standard position. The lungs are clear. Radiology Report HISTORY: Re-evacuation of right subdural hematoma. Question interval change. COMPARISON: ___. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT. FINDINGS: In the interval since the prior study, there is now a drain in place within the right subdural collection of hemorrhage and air. The resultant shift of the midline structures has decreased, now at approximately 6 mm. Effacement of the right-sided sulci as well as the right lateral ventricle still remains. The basal cisterns are patent. No new hemorrhage is identified and there is no evidence of cytotoxic or vasogenic edema. IMPRESSION: Interval placement of a right-sided drain status post evacuation of subdural contents with overall decreasing shift of the midline structures. Radiology Report EXAM: Chest, single semi-upright AP portable view. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Intracranial bleed status post right craniotomy. ___. FINDINGS: Endotracheal tube is seen, terminating approximately 2.4 cm above the level of the carina which has advanced approximately 1 cm since the prior study. Enteric tube is seen coursing below the level of the diaphragm into the left upper quadrant inferior aspect not included on the image. External artifact projects over the right lung apex making this area difficult to assess. Elsewhere, there is no focal consolidation. No pleural effusion or evidence of pneumothorax is seen. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Endotracheal tube has been advanced approximately 1-1.5 cm and now terminates approximately 2.4 cm above the level of the carina.

Dear Mr. ___, You came to the hospital because you were having increased difficulty breathing and increased pain in your legs in the setting of feeling like you were having an allergic reaction to your medications. In the midst of stopping your medications for blood pressure and heart failure, we found that you were experiencing a heart failure exacerbation where your heart was not as able to pump fluid around the body causing some of it to back up into your lungs. We treated your heart failure by giving you a medication called lasix to help take the extra fluid off of your lungs. While in the hospital, you developed a cough which we treated with an antibiotic called azithromycin with improvement in your cough. In terms of your joint pain, it appeared that you were having a gout flare, which we treated with a steroid and allopurinol, a medicine to decrease the uric acid buildup in your body. This helped improve your gout. We also suspect that you developed musculoskeletal pain from deconditioning during your hospital stay. This pain improved with Tylenol and working with physical therapy. We recommend that you take a medications called beta-blockers (e.g. carvedilol or labetolol), or other medications, to help control your blood pressure and to optimize your heart function. Unfortunately, however, you refused to take these medications while you were with us. We recommend continuing to address this with your cardiologist and your primary care doctor as we think this would benefit you in the long term. We Recommend: - Weigh yourself every morning right after you urinate, call your doctor if your weight goes up more than 3 lbs. - Take your medications every day as prescribed. You can see a list of these medications below. You should bring this list with you to your next doctor's appointment. - Work with physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion as this will improve your pain and mobility. - Follow up as below It was a pleasure caring for you at ___. We are glad that you are feeling better. Take care, Your ___ Cardiology Team

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD WANDW/O C AND RECONS Q1213 CT HEAD INDICATION: History: ___ with facial fracture, pneumocephalus. Eval for acute process. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Next, rapid axial imaging was performed through the brain during the uneventful infusion of 70 mL of Omnipaque intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered and segmented images were then generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. Please note that there were some technical issues during the contrast injection for the CTA and a second contrast bolus was injected. As a result, the CTA is a combination of arterially and venous phase. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) CT Localizer Radiograph 2) CT Localizer Radiograph 3) Sequenced Acquisition 20.0 s, 20.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,003.4 mGy-cm. 4) Sequenced Acquisition 6.0 s, 6.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 301.0 mGy-cm. 5) Stationary Acquisition 6.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 65.3 mGy (Head) DLP = 32.7 mGy-cm. 6) Stationary Acquisition 5.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 59.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 30.0 mGy-cm. 7) Spiral Acquisition 3.0 s, 23.3 cm; CTDIvol = 31.3 mGy (Head) DLP = 730.8 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 2,098 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Prior head CT from ___. FINDINGS: The study is moderately degraded by motion. Within these confines: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no evidence of infarction or hemorrhage. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. No midline shift is seen. There are multiple fractures including a fracture through the left temporal bone as seen on image to 2a: 20, lateral wall of the left orbit on image 2a:16, superior wall of the left orbit extending into the left frontal sinus, left zygomatic arch on image 2a:14, medial wall of the left orbit on image 2a : 19. There is a possible fracture through the lateral wall of the right sphenoid sinus. The previously seen fracture through the lateral wall of the left maxillary sinus is not well visualized on the current CT. There is associated intracranial and intraorbital pneumocephalus, increased compared to the prior study with air within the subdural and subarachnoid space. Air in the subdural space along the left frontal convexity exerts minimal mass effect on the underlying brain parenchyma. There is layering fluid in the left maxillary sinus. Also seen is fluid opacification of bilateral ethmoid air cells and layering fluid in the right sphenoid sinus. Bilateral mastoid air cells are clear. There is pneumocephalus within the left orbit related to the known fracture of medial orbital wall. The orbit is otherwise unremarkable without retrobulbar hematoma. Left preorbital soft tissue swelling and subcutaneous hematoma and emphysema on image 2a: 19- 32. CTA HEAD: Of note there is a technical issue regarding the contrast injection and a second contrast bolus was given, so to the CTA represents a combination of venous and arterial phases. The vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches appear normal with no evidence of stenosis,occlusion or aneurysm. The dural venous sinuses are patent. Incidentally seen is dominant left vertebral artery and hypoplastic right A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery. IMPRESSION: 1. Allowing for normal anatomic variations, unremarkable head CTA. 2.

FINDINGS: Lungs are moderately well aerated. No large pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. No evidence of acute cardiac decompensation. IMPRESSION: Normal chest radiograph. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD INDICATION: ___ with fall, found on the floor with head bruising. Evaluate for intracranial injury. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as bone algorithm reconstructions were provided and reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.5 cm; CTDIvol = 48.8 mGy (Head) DLP = 802.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Brain MRI performed ___. Head CT from ___. FINDINGS: Mild motion artifact is present. A single linear hyperdense focus in a left frontal sulcus is seen on coronal and sagittal reformatted images (601:24, 401:59), which may reflect a small focus of his subarachnoid hemorrhage, versus motion artifact. No other evidence for intracranial hemorrhage. No evidence for an acute major vascular territorial infarct, edema, or mass effect. Mild periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are nonspecific but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. Moderate global parenchymal volume loss is again seen with prominent ventricles and sulci. There is extensive calcification of bilateral carotid siphons and left greater than right intracranial vertebral arteries. There is mild right parietal subgaleal soft tissue swelling. There is no evidence of fracture. There is minimal mucosal thickening in the ethmoid air cells. Mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. The orbits appear grossly unremarkable allowing for motion artifact. IMPRESSION: 1. Possible single focus of subarachnoid hemorrhage in a left frontal sulcus, versus motion artifact. No other evidence for intracranial hemorrhage. 2. No edema or CT evidence for an acute major vascular territorial infarction. RECOMMENDATION(S): Repeated head CT for reassessment of the questionable small focus of subarachnoid hemorrhage. NOTIFICATION: The final interpretation and recommendation for repeat head CT were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 10:06 am, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST Q311 CT SPINE INDICATION: History: ___ with status post fall with head trauma. Evaluate for cervical spine injury. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast helical multidetector CT of the cervical spine was performed. Soft tissue and bone algorithm images were generated. Coronal and sagittal reformations were then constructed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 4.8 s, 19.0 cm; CTDIvol = 22.7 mGy (Body) DLP = 431.9 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 432 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT cervical spine performed ___. FINDINGS: No fractures are identified. No evidence for prevertebral soft tissue swelling. No acute subluxation. Disc protrusions and endplate osteophytes mildly indent the ventral thecal sac at multiple levels. Neural foraminal narrowing by uncovertebral and facet osteophytes is seen at C3-C4 on the left, C4-C5 and C5-C6 bilaterally, and C6-C7 on the right, up to moderate in severity. Concurrent head CT is reported separately. Right common and internal carotid arteries are medialized, indenting the posterior pharyngeal wall. Bilateral carotid artery calcifications are noted. The thyroid is small and low in density, suggesting low iodine content. Visualized lung apices are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: No evidence for a fracture. No subluxation. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman on Plavix s/p unwitnessed fall with question of subarachnoid hemorrhage vs artifact on initial CT head.

Total DLP (Head) = 1,614 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___ at 01:51, approximately 11 hours prior. FINDINGS: The previously noted small focus of linear hyperdensity in a left frontal sulcus is stable in extent with decreased density, images 10:15, 11:15. No new intracranial hemorrhage is seen. No edema, mass effect, or evidence for an acute major vascular territorial infarction. Mild periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are again noted, nonspecific but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. Moderate global parenchymal volume loss is again seen with prominent ventricles and sulci. Extensive calcification of bilateral carotid siphons and left greater than right intracranial vertebral arteries is again noted. Mild soft tissue swelling is again seen in the right parietal scalp. No evidence for a fracture. Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear grossly well-aerated allowing for absence of dedicated bone algorithm images. IMPRESSION: Small focus of subarachnoid hemorrhage in a left frontal sulcus is stable in size with decreased density. No new intracranial hemorrhage.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a privilege to care for you at the ___ ___. You were admitted after a fall and found to have a recurrent urinary tract infection. We did not find any concerning underlying cause of your fall such as a heart arrhythmia, and suspect your fall was related to general muscle weakness. Your fall resulted in a small bleed in your head for which our neurosurgeons were consulted and recommended no intervention. However, your Plavix was discontinued as this can worsen current bleeding and causes increased risk of future bleeding. Also while you were here you were noted to be retaining urine and a foley catheter was placed. This can attempted to be removed at your living facility. Please continue to take all medications as prescribed. We wish you the best! Sincerely, Your ___ Team

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Epinephrine / Xylocaine / Novocaine / Ampicillin / aspirin Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Weakness Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: Colonoscopy Video capsule endoscopy History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ with history of myeloproliferative disorder, cerebrovascular accident x2 (___), esophageal varices complicated by remote gastrointestinal bleed with splenorenal shunt status post splenectomy, gastritis, and L1 fracture (___) who presents with subjective weakness. She was in her usual state of health until approximately 4 weeks prior to admission, when she developed subjective generalized weakness and fatigue, which she attributed, at least in part, to continued recovery from recent L1 fracture, with progression over that period. Although she is not bedbound, she ambulates minimally around the house and rarely leaves. She is not limited by lightheadedness, chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, or low back pain (reports well-controlled and weaned from TLSO brace to lumbar corset), but rather by fatigue. She has no difficulty brushing her hair or rising from a chair without support, though she does require a walker for assistance with ambulation. Over the same period, she notes persistent loose stools, consistent in frequency with baseline attributable to irritable bowel syndrome; she does endorse occasionally grossly bloody stools due to hemorrhoids, as well as rarely melanotic stools less than once a month. She denies bleeding from any other orifice. Her appetite has been poor in general, and she recalls a few-pound unintentional weight loss over an uncertain period (weeks), though her appetite is robust at this moment. Ultimately persuaded by her family, she notes that she was reluctant to see her primary care provider until the day prior to admission, when urinalysis/urine culture were positive for E. coli at ___. Despite 3 doses of nitrofurantoin, she remains weaker than expected. She denies fevers/chills, abdominal pain, or dysuria/hematuria. In the ED, initial vital signs were as follows: 99.0 91 149/66 20 98%. Admission labs were notable for white blood cell count of 14 (variable baseline leukocytosis), hematocrit of 26 (down from recent value of 30, but variable baseline), platelets of 100 (up from ___ at baseline), INR of 2.4 (on Coumadin), and negative urinalysis. Stool was guiac-positive. 2 large-bore peripheral intravenous lines were placed. The gastroenterology service was consulted, with colonoscopy and/or video capsule endoscopy planned. On transfer, vital signs were: 98.4 80 151/78 18 95%. On arrival to the floor, patient reports extreme hunger, but she is otherwise comfortable.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking part in your care during your admission to ___. As you know, you were admitted because you were feeling weak and tired, likely due to multiple factors, including low red blood cell count, urinary tract infection, and deconditioning after your recent fall. Although you have a low red blood cell count at baseline due to your myeloproliferative disorder, there was some concern that you were bleeding slowly from your gastrointestinal tract. You were evaluated by the gastrointestinal doctors, who suggested a study of your large intestine (colonoscopy). Colonoscopy did not show any active bleeding, and you also underwent a second study (video capsule endoscopy), the results of which are pending at discharge. In anticipation of colonoscopy, your warfarin was held, and you received another blood thinning medication (heparin) while your INR (a measure of your blood's clotting ability) was low. Following colonoscopy, your warfarin was resumed, and you were starting on another blood thinning medication (enoxaparin), which you will need to continue for a few days until directed otherwise by your primary care doctor. You also completed treatment for urinary tract infection. You were evaluated by the physical therapists, who felt that you were safe to go home without rehabilitation services. The following changes were made to your medications: - Please STOP nitrofurantoin since you have completed your antibiotic course for urinary tract infection. - Please CONTINUE warfarin 5mg daily and enoxaparin 80mg ONCE A DAY unless directed otherwise by your primary care doctor. You will be able to stop enoxaparin injections once your INR (a measure of your blood's clotting ability) falls into an appropriate range.

Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with new DLBCL, needs port placement for chemotherapy// Please place double lumen chest port need both access for ___ aware COMPARISON: None TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___, attending radiologist, performed the procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 75 mcg of fentanyl and 1.5 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 15 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: Versed, fentanyl, 1% lidocaine CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 1.4 min, 2 mGy PROCEDURE 1. Left internal jugular approach chest double lumen Port-a-cath placement PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent left internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short Amplatz wire was advanced distally into the IVC. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 2.5 cm transverse incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt dissection. The double lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found. The port was then placed in the subcutaneous pocket and secured with ___ Prolene sutures on either side. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed over the ___ wire through which the port was threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled away. The subcutaneous pocket was closed in layers with ___ interrupted and ___ subcuticular continuous Vicryl sutures. Steri-Strips were used to close the venotomy incision site. Steri-Strips were applied over the sutures. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The both port lumens were accessed using a non coring ___ needle and could be aspirated and flushed easily. Sterile dressings were applied.

Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with exp lap, SBR, SMA stenting, continues to have high NG output, decrease nutritional intake// please place GJ tube past the Ligament of Treitz COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis ___ TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ Interventional ___ and Dr. ___ resident performed the procedure. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during any key components of the procedure where applicable and reviewed and agrees with the findings as reported below. ANESTHESIA: General anesthesia. MEDICATIONS: 0.5 mg of glucagon IV CONTRAST: 50 ml of Optiray contrast FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 31 minutes 8 seconds, 221 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Placement of a ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The tube site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A scout image of the abdomen was obtained. The stomach was insufflated through the indwelling nasogastric tube. Using a marker, the skin was marked using palpation to feel the costal margins and the liver edge was marked using ultrasound. Ultrasound images were stored. Under fluoroscopic guidance, 3 T fastener buttons were sequentially deployed in a triangular position elevating the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall. Intra-gastric position was confirmed with aspiration of air and injection of contrast. A 19 gauge needle was introduced under fluoroscopic guidance and position confirmed using an injection of dilutecontrast. The needle trajectory was directed towards the pylorus. In implants wire was introduced and coiled within the stomach. A small skin incision was made along the needle and the needle was removed. A Kumpe catheter was then introduced over the wire and the ___ was exchanged for a Glidewire. There was a tight narrowing at the gastrojejunal anastomosis through which the Glidewire cannot past. The Glidewire was exchanged for an Amplatz, which was also unsuccessful in crossing the stenosis anastomosis. The Amplatz was exchanged for a stiff Glidewire and the Kumpe was exchanged for a Sos catheter. The stiff Glidewire and the RIM catheter were advanced past the tight narrowing at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. The stiff Glidewire was then exchanged for an Amplatz wire which is further advanced into the jejunum. The Sos catheter was removed over the wire. A 16 ___ dilator was used to dilate the tract. Then, a 22 ___ peel-away sheath was placed over the wire. A 18 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy catheter was advanced over the wire into position. The sheath was then peeled away. The wire and sheath were removed. The catheter was locked by instilling 7 ml of dilute contrast into the balloon in the jejunum after confirming the position of the catheter with a contrast injection. The catheter was then flushed and capped. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate complications. FINDINGS: 1. Successful placement of a 18 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube with its tip in the jejunum. 2. There was a tight narrowing at the duodenojejunal anastomosis, through which the distal end of the gastrojejunostomy tube was passed. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of a 18 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube with its tip in the proximal jejunum past the anastamosis. The gastric port should not be used for 24 hours.

FINDINGS: Neck/cardiomediastinal: The imaged thyroid is unremarkable. There is no evidence of supraclavicular or axillary lymphadenopathy. A sub-carinal necrotic lymph node measures 2.2 cm, previously 1.8 cm. The degree of hilar lymphadenopathy has increased. As an example, a left inferior hilar lymph node now measures 1.1 cm (301:132), previously measuring 0.7 cm. A right hilar lymph node measures 1.2 cm (301:113), previously measuring 1.0 cm. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy has overall increased. A right ___ lymph node measures 1.5 cm, previously measuring 0.9 cm. The heart is normal in size. There is a trace pericardial effusion. The aorta and main pulmonary artery are top-normal. Lungs/airways: The tracheobronchial tree is patent to the subsegmental level. There has been interval development of a small right pleural effusion with the suggestion of pleural nodularity (301:137). Bilateral upper lobe predominant centrilobular ground-glass and peribronchial opacities are new. Areas of ___ are seen in the right lower lobe. There appears to be increased interstitial markings and thickening of the lower lobe interlobular septa. Abdomen: Please refer to abdomen/pelvic CT for evaluation of infra diaphragmatic structures. Bones and soft tissues: There are no suspicious bony or soft tissue lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Short term interval development of predominately upper lobe peribronchial and centrilobular opacities suggests an infectious etiology, A rapidly developing malignancy cannot be excluded, but substantially less likely. 2. Findings compatible with progression of disease, such as slight interval increase in lymphadenopathy as described. See same day CT abdomen/pelvis for details regarding infra-diaphragmatic structures. 3. Interstitial finding compatible with volume overload. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ ___ service) on the telephone on ___ at 5:08 ___, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital due an incidental pneumoperitoneum on CXR and CT scan (air into your abdominal cavity). The reason for this finding is unkown. This usually happens after an abdominal procedure when air enter the abdominal cavity during the procedure or if you have a bowel perforation. Therefore it was reasonable to admit your to the hospital for observation despite the fact that you are asymptomatic (without any symptoms). You were closely monitored daily with labs and vitais signs. As you continue to be stable we felt you could be discharge home with close follow up with your PCP. There was no signs of bowel perforation on your CT image, your clinical presentation is stable therefore no surgical intervention was recommended. We would like that you follow-up with your PCP/or Rheumatology (Dr. ___ in order to revise your home medication. You might need to decrease the amount of prednisone as this medication can thin your bowel wall and predispose you to an air leak inside your belly. We spoked with your Rheumatology team yesterday about this and they would like to see you back in clinic to revise your home medication dose. Dr. ___ who is currently prescribing your prednisone will be better able to acces the risk/benefits to decrease this medication. We alwo hold off your warfarin during your hospital stay as your INR level was higher than recommended during your first day(3.4). At discharge your INR level was 2.5 which is within the desired range. Please follow-up with your PCP to have the dose readjusted if necessary. You should have a repeated CT in the next couple of months (if still asymptomatic) to monitor interval change. Please have your PCP schedule this for you. You will be discharged home with a two weeks ___ of antibiotic. These medications can help control the bacteria that usually grows inside your gastrointestinal tract. You do not have evidence of an infection but we would like to make sure that if the air is coming from the bowel, that any bacteria that might have spilled into your belly is contained. It was a pleasure taking care of you during this hospitalization. Your ___ team

ERCP team requesting MRCP// eval for cause of CBD dilation TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were acquired in a 1.5 T magnet. Intravenous contrast: 8 mL Gadavist. Oral contrast: 1 cc of Gadavist mixed with 50 cc of water was administered for oral contrast. COMPARISON: Abdominal ultrasound ___ FINDINGS: Lower Thorax: There are trace bilateral pleural effusions. Liver: Liver demonstrates homogeneous signal intensity throughout, without significant drop in signal on opposed phase imaging to suggest hepatic steatosis. In segment 5, there is a 19 mm T2 hyperintense lesion demonstrating mild internal enhancement, which likely represents a hemangioma (04:20). A small cyst is seen along the periphery of segment 4 (04:22), and in segment 7 (4:29). No suspicious hepatic lesion. Biliary: Gallbladder is surgically absent. The extrahepatic bile duct is slightly prominent, measuring up to 7 mm. However, there is focal caliber change at the distal CBD close to the ampulla, where there is suggestion of a T2 hypointense filling defect (03:20, 8:1). However, this would be atypical in appearance for a stone. No evidence of differential enhancement or definite obstructing lesion identified. The central intrahepatic bile ducts are mildly prominent. The right posterior duct drains into the left hepatic duct, a normal variant. Pancreas: There is normal intrinsic T1 hyperintense signal throughout the pancreas. No focal parenchymal lesions or ductal dilation. Spleen: Spleen is normal in size, without focal lesions. Adrenal Glands: Normal in size and shape. Kidneys: Kidneys are normal in size and shape. No solid parenchymal lesions are identified. There is no hydronephrosis. Gastrointestinal Tract: Stomach is unremarkable. There is no bowel obstruction or ascites. Lymph Nodes: Retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymph nodes are not enlarged by size criteria. Vasculature: Abdominal aorta is not aneurysmal. Celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and bilateral renal arteries are patent. Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: There is a T1 hyperintense lesion along the superior endplate of T11, which may represent focal fat or a hemangioma. IMPRESSION: Mild dilation of the extrahepatic bile duct with focal caliber change in the distal CBD near the ampulla, without definite evidence of an obstructing stone or lesion. Further evaluation with EUS/ERCP is recommended.

Chief Complaint: difficulty writing Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ F w PMHx of HLD, depression, and rheumatoid arthritis who presents to ___ ED after sudden onset of difficulty writing and visual disturbance - her symptoms resolved within ~1 hour. A code stroke was called upon arrival. Ms. ___ has significant difficulty in recalling the events prior to her admission, so much of the history is supplied by her partner, ___. They both agree that Ms. ___ was "exhausted" today, more so than normal. They were at a camera shop around 3:30PM when Ms. ___ tried to write a check to pay for their items. She found she had great difficulty writing and her handwriting was extremely messy. She was able to grip the pen and did not feel weak, persay, though her hand "wasn't doing what I wanted it to." With some effort, she was able to write the check and the clerk was able to read it. She and ___ got in the car to drive to Ms. ___ previously scheduled doctor's appointment. ___ was driving. About 5 minutes after leaving the store, Ms. ___ began to complain of a mild left sided headache and associated blurry vision on her right side. She did not cover one eye to see if the blurry vision was monocular or binocular. At her doctor's appointment today, Ms. ___ recounted the story to the physician who did ___ screening examination for stroke. Ms. ___ deficits had apparently resolved, but the physician referred Ms. ___ to ___ "to get an MRI." Currently, Ms. ___ states that her headache and blurry vision have resolved - she estimates that they lasted ~1 hour. Her handwriting is also back to her baseline and she does not endorse any difficulty controlling the right hand. She denies any associated weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking or comprehending speech. Notably, Ms. ___ has been suffering from "severe exhaustion" for at least the past week. Her partner and her friends having been concerned about her and urged her to make the above doctor's appointment. Ms. ___ partner also states that Ms. ___ memory has been quite poor for sometime - though she believes it was worse today. Ms. ___ reports a similar event ___ years ago. She was admitted to ___ with the presenting complaint of transient total vision loss. She is unsure if she was diagnosed with a TIA. When it was time for her to be discharged, she was "completely unable" to sign her name on the discharge sheet. The event differs from her current event because at that time she was unable to write any words down at all. It is unclear what additional work-up was done at that time. Ms. ___ also reports a long standing problem with memory. She has been evaluated several times due to concern for Alzheimer's disease. She tells me that several years ago she was evaluated by a neurologist and told that her symptoms were not consistent with Alzheimer's disease.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to ___ with difficulty writing and concern for stroke. You had a CT and MRI which did not show any stroke but your story is concerning for a possible transient ischemic attack or TIA. You were started on aspirin. You had an ultrasound of your heart which did not show any evidence of clot. You will need a wear a heart monitor to look for evidence of atrial fibrillation which may have caused your symptoms. Please call ___ and ask to be transferred to the cardiology Holter monitor lab. Then you can pick up the ___ of Hearts monitor at the hospital. You will follow-up with Dr. ___ at the appointment scheduled below. It was a pleasure taking care of you, Your ___ Neurologists
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: epinephrine / Codeine / Zoloft Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: episodes of heart racing and palpitations followed by unresponsiveness Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ year-old right-handed woman with a past medical history of migraines, renal stones and possible POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) who was admitted for recurrent episodes of loss of consciousness. This history is obtained from discussion with the patient and data from ___. Other records are not available for review. She reports that she was previously healthy until ___. At that time she developed an obstructing kidney stone. The stone was removed and a stent was placed. Immediately following the procedure, Ms. ___ developed symptoms of her heart racing every time she would stand up. She called her urologist who instructed her to "take it easy" for a couple of weeks, however her symptoms persisted. Her symptoms were and have remained very stereotyped. Within a few minutes of standing, she develops a sensation that her heart is racing. She has measured her HR in the past and states that once the HR is > 120 bpm, she feels palpitations. She will also experience a sensation of chest pressure and shortness of breath "like I just ran up a mountain". She will then feel "tingling and numbness" in her hands and feet symmetrically followed by "tingling" starting at the base of her neck. These facial paresthesias will rapidly spread up to her mouth at which point she will be unable to speak. She will bit her lip frequently voluntarily but will be unable to produce sounds. She remains able to hear others speaking to her. The tingling will then spread to her nose at which point she becomes unresponsive. The duration of the unresponsiveness may range from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. She has not had abnormal limb movements, gaze deviation, incontinence or tongue biting in the past. She states that at the rehab facility, they have tried to revive her using pain, cold, laying her flat, and using ammonia all without effect. When she regains consciousness, she is confused only for less than a minute at most and is then aware of her surroundings. In the more recent months, she has begun to have "low oxygen" during the episodes, although this has not been a problem in the past. There was no other prodrome, exposure, illness or other precipitating factor aside from the renal stone removal and stenting. Of note, she had a prior renal stone about ___ years ago which was removed without sequelae. Triggers: standing, exercise, washing her hair (although she is not certain if this is due to the prolonged standing in the shower). She does not feel that hot environments or eating trigger symptoms. Ms. ___ has experienced these episodes from sitting in the past as well. Alleviating factors: lying down, her current medication regimen (Florinef, midodrine, metoprolol and pyridostigmine). She does not recall the sequence of these medication trials and believes that they were started sequentially. She states that did not recall feeling any improvement until the entire regimen was initiated. With this regimen, she has been able to stand up for a longer duration without developing symptoms (max 8 minutes) Prior work-up: She states that she was admitted for EEG LTM in the past and several events were captured without any identified abnormality. She was evaluated by a cardiologist who did a tilt table test and diagnosed her with POTS. She also believes that she has had an echocardiogram which she believes was normal. She has not had any recent brain imaging, but believes that she may have had an MRI in the past when she developed migraines. Prior treatment: as above. She was also prescribed salt tablets and instructed to have 10 grams of sodium in her daily diet but has not done this. Associated symptoms: as above. Intermittent tunnel vision, this does not always occur with the episodes. She also feels that her legs feel tired at times. She denies feelings of anxiety or impending doom. During ANS testing on ___ Ms. ___ had one of her typical events. She became unresponsive to verbal stimuli during the tilt up portion of the test. Her BP remained elevated and she had a sinus tachycardia. After she was tilted down, her eye lids fluttered and there was resistance to eyelid opening. She did not respond to verbal or noxious stimulus. There was no gaze deviation. Pupils were dilated (5 mm) and her O2 sat was as low as 79% on RA but increased with Ambu bag. BG was 96. A code was called and the event lasted 5 minutes after which she began to respond to voice and was fully oriented. There was no abnormal limb movements, tongue laceration or incontinence. She was taken to the ED and then admitted for LTM. Past Medical History: - migraines starting after hysterectomy - s/p hysterectomy - s/p bladder suspension surgery - s/p kidney stone surgery with stenting - loss of consciousness after receiving "Novocaine and epinephrine" at the dentist x 2. She reports that she had received the injection of both medications and then used the bathroom after which she had LOC. EMS was called. She was told by the dentist that the LOC was likely secondary to the epinephrine.

EKG: Sinus rhythm with non-specific repolarization abnormalities. No previous tracing available for comparison. EEG: This continuous video monitoring study captured two episodes of unresponsiveness preceded by typical presyncopal symptoms of palpitations, lightheadedness, tunnel vision, and difficulty speaking followed by loss of consciousness. Both of these events occurred while she was sitting and trying to get up from the commode. The EEG during these two episodes showed an alpha rhythm consistent with a normal waking background, and there was no electrographic evidence of seizures. However, the single channel EKG demonstrated significant sinus arrhythmia with large heart rate variations ranging between 66 bpm to 144 bpm. There were no clear epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures. Additionally, prominent sinus arrhythmia could be seen at other times during wakefulness, at rest, with heart rates ranging between 60-120 bpm. These findings raise concern for a primary cardiac rhythm abnormality. MRI BRAIN with thin cuts through brainstem: 1. There is no evidence of acute intraparenchymal pathology. 2. Incidentally noted is a T1 hypo-, T2 hyper-intense nonenhancing lesion arising from the dorsal clivus and extending exophytically into the prepontine cistern which may represent an ecchordosis physaliphora at the dorsal wall of the clivus.

Osseous and soft tissue structures are unremarkable. Surgical clips in the right upper quadrant suggest prior cholecystectomy. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with intermittent tachycardia and posturally mediated episodes of unresponsiveness. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: MRI of the head was obtained with and without contrast. Sagittal T1, axial T1, axial T2 star GRE, axial FLAIR, axial T2 images were obtained without the administration of contrast. Following the administration of contrast, axial T1 and sagittal MP-RAGE images were obtained. Diffusion-weighted and ADC maps were also generated and reviewed. FINDINGS: No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, brain edema, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. There is no diffusion abnormality. There is no evidence of acute major vascular territory infarction. A FLAIR hyperintensity within the left periventricular white matter (series 7, image 15) is nonspecific. A T1 hypointense, T2 hyperintense nonenhancing lesion arising from the dorsal wall of the clivus and extending exophytically into the prepontine cyst (series 9, image 121) may represent ecchordosis physaliphora at the dorsal wall of the clivus.

You were admitted for episodes of unresponsiveness. You underwent an extensive neurologic, autonomic and cardiologic workup. Your MRI of the brain was normal. Your EEG was normal during the events, so seizures are very unlikely. Cardiology diagnosed you with inappropriate sinus tachycardia syndrome, and treated you with nadolol (a beta blocker) which helped your heart rate stay under control. You should be able to return to your regular activities, but increase your level of exertion slowly and stop if you experience symptoms of racing heart, palpitations, or any other abnormal symptoms.

Ms. ___ has a history of chronic leg and foot pain. About two weeks ago, she noted worsened pain in her right toes. Her daughter noticed that there was blood on the patient's sock. Subsequently, the patient's daughter noticed that her toes were frequently bleeding and had a new foul odor. Her daughter tried to treat the foot with athlete's foot spray and foot powder, but there was no improvement in symptoms. The pain continued to worsen over the week reaching ___ pain. Due the pain, it was difficult for the patient's daughter to closely examine the foot but she did note that the skin was broken down between the second and third toe on the right foot. The pain was localized to the toe and did not radiate. The patient denies any fevers, chills, nausea, or vomiting. Due to worsening pain the patient went to her podiatrist. She had radiographs taken of her foot which were suggestive of osteomyelitis, and the physician recommended admission to ___ for possible surgery. She has a history of cellulitis and was admitted to ___ in ___ for IV Vanc after failing doxycycline as an outpatient. Separately, Ms. ___ noted that she had bilateral lower extremity swelling for the past three weeks, with left>right extending from the knee to the toes. ___ at the OSH was negative for LLE DVT. She has a history of DVT in her leg with subsequent PE in her ___, for which she is on life long anticoagulation with warfarin. She denies miscarriages, a family history of clotting, although her mother died in her ___ or ___s from a stroke. She denies having been on any estrogen containing medications at the time of her DVT/PE. Her primary care doctor ordered ___ chest ___ which revealed "mild vascular redistribution consistent with mild CHF" She was started on 20 furosemide PO. The right lower extremity swelling improved but the left lower extremity swelling only improved minimally. Her PCP increased the dose to 40mg daily. She has a long standing history of "heart murmur," but denies any other problems with her heart. She remembers getting a stress test about ___ years ago, and a cardiac echo ___ years ago. She denies lightheadedness, vision changes, SOB, and chest pain. She sleeps sitting up, but this may be related to dizziness more that orthopnea.

Oral contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Stationary Acquisition 3.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 14.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 7.2 mGy-cm. 2) Spiral Acquisition 5.0 s, 55.0 cm; CTDIvol = 11.7 mGy (Body) DLP = 643.0 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 650 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT abdomen/pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: There is dependent atelectasis in the visualized lung bases. No pleural or pericardial effusion is seen. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: The liver is homogeneous in background attenuation, without focal lesion or intra or extrahepatic biliary duct dilation. The contour is lobulated secondary to pseudomyxoma peritonei. The main portal vein appears patent. The gallbladder is within normal limits. PANCREAS: Pancreas is atrophic but normal in attenuation without mass, ductal dilation, or peripancreatic stranding or fluid collection. SPLEEN: Spleen is normal in size. Several cystic lesions are again seen, similar in appearance and distribution compared to ___. ADRENALS: The adrenal glands are normal in caliber and configuration bilaterally. URINARY: The kidneys are symmetric and normal in size. There is an unchanged hypodensity arising from the interpolar region of the right kidney, possibly a cyst. There is no hydronephrosis. GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Small bowel loops are distended with contrast proximally, with relative decompression at the level of the distal ileum likely due to mass effect from the cystic mass. There is no discrete transition point. The colon and rectum are within normal limits. The large cystic mass which appears to originate in the right lower quadrant, presumably the suspected appendiceal mucinous carcinoma, has increased in size, now measuring 13.6 x 19.6 x 24.3 cm (previously 11.5 x 18.1 x 13.9 cm). There are increased omental deposits and omental caking. Mucinous material throughout the abdomen is increased and again compatible with pseudomyxoma peritonei. This material also extends through an anterior abdominal wall defect, presumably into the "ostomy" . There may also be a component of ascites, but is difficult to differentiate from the mucinous deposits throughout the abdomen. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Mild atherosclerotic disease is noted. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. SOFT TISSUES: There is an anterior wall defect as described above, without evidence of enterostomy or colostomy. Peritoneal wall deposits extend through the defect. Additional low density lesions in the subcutaneous tissues of the right anterior abdominal wall are likely additional metastatic implants. IMPRESSION: 1. Markedly increased primary and metastatic tumor burden. Metastatic deposits extend through the anterior wall defect into the "ostomy". 2. Distention of proximal loops of small bowel with relative decompression but node discrete transition point in the distal ileum, compatible with partial obstruction likely due to mass effect by the large intra-abdominal cystic mass. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with partial SBO, diffusely guaerding and peritontic // eval for free air TECHNIQUE: Supine and left lateral decubitus abdominal radiographs were obtained. COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis dated ___ at 02:50. FINDINGS: Contrast material is seen in the ascending and transverse colon and bladder consistent with recent CT abdomen and pelvis performed earlier on the same day. There are no abnormally dilated loops of large or small bowel. There is no free intraperitoneal air. Osseous structures are notable for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. There are no unexplained soft tissue calcifications or radiopaque foreign bodies. IMPRESSION: No intraperitoneal free air. Normal bowel gas pattern.

Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with significant bleeding after sphincterotomy, metal stent placed in ampulla to attempt tamponade but still bleeding// ___ year old man with significant bleeding after sphincterotomy, metal stent placed in ampulla to attempt tamponade but still bleeding COMPARISON: CTA of the abdomen pelvis dated ___ TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ Interventional ___ performed the procedure and was assisted by Dr. ___. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 100mcg of fentanyl and 1.5 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 90 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: Fentanyl, Versed, 1% lidocaine CONTRAST: 100 ml of Optiray contrast FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 43.1, 594 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Right common femoral artery access. 2. Celiac arteriogram. 3. Superior mesenteric arteriogram. 4. Coil and Gel-Foam embolization of the gastroduodenal artery. 5. Right common femoral angiography and closure device placement. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the health care proxy. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. Both groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Using palpatory and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral artery was punctured using a micropuncture set at the level of the mid-femoral head. A 0.018 wire was passed easily into the vessel lumen. A small skin incision was made over the needle. Then the inner dilator and wire were removed and a ___ wire was advanced under fluoroscopy into the aorta. The micropuncture sheath was exchanged for a 5 ___ sheath which was attached to a continuous heparinized saline side arm flush. A C2 Cobra catheter was advanced over ___ wire into the aorta. The wire was removed and the superior mesenteric artery was selectively cannulated and a superior mesenteric arteriogram was performed. The C2 catheter was exchanged for an SOS catheter which was used to select celiac. A celiac arteriogram was performed. A renegade ___ microcatheter and Transcend wire was advanced into the GDA down to the gastroepiploic artery. The catheter was pulled back in a branch off the GDA was selected. This was embolized with a 4 mm Concerto coil. Post angiogram demonstrates a good result. The catheter was withdrawn into the main GDA and passed down to the gastroepiploic origin. An 8 mm Concerto coil was deployed in this location. While the coil initially appeared well seated, it subsequently embolized more distally into the gastroepiploic artery. A 7 mm micro snare was used to snare the coil and pull it back into the GDA. Despite this repositioning, the coil again migrated more distally into the gastroepiploic artery. 10 mm and 12 mm Concerto coils were used to embolize the GDA in addition to Gel-Foam. The initial 10 mm coil was anchored in a GDA branch to prevent further chance of embolization of the coil more distally. A 12 mm coil was used to embolize the GDA more proximally. Post angiography from the common hepatic artery and celiac demonstrated no residual flow into the GDA. Right common femoral arteriogram demonstrated satisfactory puncture site for a closure device. A 6 ___ Angio-Seal was successfully deployed the right groin. +2 right common femoral pulse was noted post closure. There was no hematoma. Additional manual pressure was held. A dressing was applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well without any immediate complications. FINDINGS: 1. No large SMA branches to the region of the stent. 2. Patent celiac artery and GDA. 3. Post embolization demonstrates no residual flow in the GDA. IMPRESSION: Technically successful coil and Gel-Foam embolization of the gastroduodenal artery. RECOMMENDATION(S): Continue to monitor for evidence of further bleeding.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of right hand and face numbness and weakness resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: - atrial fibrillation - high cholesterol - high blood pressure We are changing your medications as follows: - start lovenox injections and take until your INR is ___ - HOLD aspirin while taking lovenox (you can restart this once you stop lovenox) Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please followup with Neurology and your primary care physician as listed below. Please get your INR checked in 2 days, ___.

There is pneumomediastinum. There is moderate right pneumothorax. Multiple rounded peripheral opacities throughout the right lung are compatible with lung contusions. There is no pleural effusion. Left lung is essentially clear. The tracheobronchial tree is patent to the subsegmental level. CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: There is a 5.6 x 3.1 x 9.3 cm intraparenchymal contusion in the liver (series 602B image 21). There is small amount of hemorrhage around the liver which tracks inferiorly along the paracolic gutter into the pelvis. There is no intra or extrahepatic biliary duct dilation.

Possible tiny contusion in the superior aspect of the spleen. 4. Fractures of the superior and inferior left pubic rami. Fractures of the left sacral ale and left ischial tuberosity. Small anterior fractures of the right and left pubic bones at the pubic symphysis NOTIFICATION: Fracture of the pubic symphysis. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old man s/p fall with rib frx, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum // Pls perform at 6 ___. please look for interval change in pneumothorax/pneumomediastinum Pls perform at 6 ___. please look for interval change in , pn COMPARISON: Chest radiographs and chest CT performed between 11 and 11:45 today. IMPRESSION: Heterogeneous consolidation in the right lower lobe, new since earlier in the day is local bleeding due to contusion and small laceration seen on the chest CT scan. Followup advised. Small right pneumothorax, confirmed by the chest CT scan, is most readily seen along the right lower costal surface and is no larger now than it was earlier in the day. Small pneumomediastinum is unchanged. In the setting of closed chest trauma this need not indicate disruption of the esophagus or tracheal bronchial tree, either of which would probably produce more air in the mediastinum and conceivably hemo mediastinal hematoma. Otherwise the cardiomediastinal silhouette has a normal appearance. Left lung is clear and there is no left pleural abnormality. Detection of chest wall trauma is more reliable with torso CT. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ yo male s/p 30 ft fall with multiple injuries // assess for interval changes. expiratory, sit up as much as possible assess for interval changes. expiratory, sit up as much as p COMPARISON: Chest radiographs on ___, read in conjunction with torso CT also ___. IMPRESSION: The expiration view was obtained on the instructions of the requesting physician. This may account for the apparent increase in size of the small right pneumothorax which, in reality, may be unchanged. It may also exaggerate the confluence of the previous consolidation in the right lower lobe due to local bleeding. I have discussed the advisability of retaining of obtaining full inspiratory chest radiographs hereafter. Interval increase in heart size and mediastinal venous caliber is due in part to lower lung volumes, but most likely increased intravascular volume as well. Left lung is clear and there is no left pleural abnormality. NOTIFICATION: Dr. ___ reported the findings to Dr ___ by telephone on ___ at 10:44 AM, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings. The explained that the patient has no findings to suggest continued bleeding in the lung or pneumonia.

You were admitted to ___ after falling 30 feet through a skylight. You sustained multiple injuries, including a liver laceration, pelvic fracture, and rib fracture. You were taken to the operating room and had your pelvis fixed by the Orthopedic team. You have worked with Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, and you are cleared for discharge home to continue your recovery. Please note the following discharge instructions: Liver/ Spleen lacerations: *AVOID contact sports and/or any activity that may cause injury to your abdominal area for the next ___ weeks. *If you suddenly become dizzy, lightheaded, feeling as if you are going to pass out go to the nearest Emergency Room as this could be a sign that you are having internal bleeding from your liver or spleen injury. *AVOID any blood thinners such as Motrin, Naprosyn, Indocin, Aspirin, Coumadin or Plavix for at least ___ days unless otherwise instructed by the MD/NP/PA. Rib Fractures: * Your injury caused one rib fracture which can cause severe pain and subsequently cause you to take shallow breaths because of the pain. * You should take your pain medication as directed to stay ahead of the pain otherwise you won't be able to take deep breaths. If the pain medication is too sedating take half the dose and notify your physician. * Pneumonia is a complication of rib fractures. In order to decrease your risk you must use your incentive spirometer 4 times every hour while awake. This will help expand the small airways in your lungs and assist in coughing up secretions that pool in the lungs. * You will be more comfortable if you use a cough pillow to hold against your chest and guard your rib cage while coughing and deep breathing. * Symptomatic relief with ice packs or heating pads for short periods may ease the pain. * Narcotic pain medication can cause constipation therefore you should take a stool softener twice daily and increase your fluid and fiber intake if possible. * Do NOT smoke * If your doctor allows, non-steroidal ___ drugs are very effective in controlling pain ( ie, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Naprosyn) but they have their own set of side effects so make sure your doctor approves. * Return to the Emergency Room right away for any acute shortness of breath, increased pain or crackling sensation around your ribs (crepitus). Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner or return to the Emergency Department for any of the following: *You experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or tightness. *New or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or wheeze. *If you are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids or your medications. *You are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea, or other reasons. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing. *You see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a bowel movement. *You experience burning when you urinate, have blood in your urine, or experience a discharge. *Your pain in not improving within ___ hours or is not gone within 24 hours. Call or return immediately if your pain is getting worse or changes location or moving to your chest or back. *You have shaking chills, or fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius. *Any change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern you. Please resume all regular home medications, unless specifically advised not to take a particular medication. Also, please take any new medications as prescribed. Please get plenty of rest, continue to ambulate several times per day, and drink adequate amounts of fluids. Avoid lifting weights greater than ___ lbs until you follow-up with your surgeon. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking pain medications. Incision Care: *Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have increased pain, swelling, redness, or drainage from the incision site. *Avoid swimming and baths until your follow-up appointment. *You may shower, and wash surgical incisions with a mild soap and warm water. Gently pat the area dry. *If you have staples, they will be removed at your follow-up appointment.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking part in your care here at ___! Why was I admitted to the hospital? - You were admitted to the hospital because you were feeling short of breath and were found to have multiple blood clots in your lungs. What was done for me while I was in the hospital? - In the hospital, you were given oxygen to help you breathe more easily and were started on an intravenous blood thinner called heparin to treat your blood clots. - You were then transitioned to two blood thinners called warfarin (a pill) and lovenox (an injection), which you will continue to take after you leave the hospital. Ultimately, you will only take warfarin to treat your blood clots, but your INR (a lab that is checked to monitor warfarin levels in the blood) was not in the recommended range prior to discharge, so you will continue lovenox until your INR is in the target range (___). Your primary care doctor ___ follow your INR levels and advise you on how much warfarin you should take each day. What should I do when I leave the hospital? - Please go to your follow up appointments as scheduled (see below for appointment information). Most of them already have a specific date & time set. If there is no specific time specified, and you do not hear from their office in ___ business days, please contact the office to schedule an appointment. - Please take 5mg of warfarin the evening of ___. - It is VERY important that you have your labs (INR) drawn the morning of ___. Your labwork results will be faxed to your primary care doctor, and she will let you know how much warfarin to take on ___ (and thereafter). - Please monitor for new/or worsening symptoms including, but not limited to, shortness of breath and chest pain. If you do not feel like you are getting better or have any other concerns, please call your doctor to discuss or return to the emergency room. It was a privilege caring for you, and we wish you well! Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 3.0 s, 23.2 cm; CTDIvol = 8.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 195.0 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 195 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CTA chest with without contrast of ___, CT neck without contrast of ___, outside hospital CT chest of ___. FINDINGS: Re-identified is 5.6 x 4.2 x 5.7 cm (AP, TRV, SI) heterogeneous ill-defined left thyroid mass, demonstrating central cystic components and coarse scattered coarse calcifications extending into the superior mediastinum. As on prior examinations, the fascial planes between the lesion and the adjacent trachea and esophagus (series 304, image 139) and thyroid cartilage (series 304, image 87) remains obscured. The lesion abuts the right common carotid artery (series 304, image 147), with right lateral displacement, overall similar to prior examination, however the intervening fascial plane is also obscured, with possible increasing surrounding stranding (series 304, image 126). Interval resolution of postsurgical subcutaneous emphysema. The patient is status post tracheostomy, unchanged in appearance from prior examination. The left lobe of the thyroid is also mildly enlarged and heterogeneous, with coarse calcifications and hypoattenuating nodules, unchanged from prior examination. The fascial planes between the left lobe and adjacent structures appear grossly preserved. An enteric tube is also identified. No cervical lymphadenopathy is identified. However, there appears to be increased soft tissue density in the visualized superior mediastinum posterior to the trachea with interval increased size of a lymph node adjacent to the esophagus at the level of the aortic arch (series 304, image 147). Allowing for sequela of tracheostomy and enteric tube, the remainder of the aerodigestive tract is grossly unremarkable. The major salivary glands are unremarkable. A spiculated left upper lobe pulmonary nodule measuring 1 cm has significantly increased in size since examination of ___ (series 304, image 108). A 4 mm nodule in the right upper lobe (series 304, image 147) appears slightly increased in size as well. Dependent mucus is seen in the visualized right maxillary sinus and there is near complete opacification of the visualized sphenoid sinuses. Near complete opacification of the bilateral mastoid air cells is also noted. No acute osseous abnormality. IMPRESSION: 1. Re-identified is a 5.7 cm heterogeneous ill-defined left thyroid mass demonstrating central cystic components and coarse scattered calcifications. Since the prior examination of ___, interval resolution of postoperative pneumocephalus and soft tissue inflammatory stranding. 2. There remains loss of defined fascial plane between the mass and the adjacent trachea, esophagus and thyroid cartilage. In addition, the lesion exerts right lateral mass effect on the right common carotid artery, with obscuration of intervening fascial plane, which appears progressed from prior examination. Although the mass does not appear significantly increased in size since examination of ___, the lack of improvement in stranding and obscuration of adjacent fascial planes raises concern for possible malignant process. 3. In addition, there is increased soft tissue prominence incompletely characterized at the visualized superior mediastinum posterior to the trachea as well as apparent increased size of a 1.6 cm paratracheal lymph node (series 304, image 147). 4. A spiculated left upper lobe lesion now measures 1 cm, previously measuring 5-6 mm. A 4 mm right upper lobe pulmonary nodule has also increased in size from prior examination. Recommend further evaluation with dedicated CT chest. 5. Additional findings described above. RECOMMENDATION(S): Recommend further evaluation of impression 4 with dedicated CT chest with without contrast.

Overall size has not significantly changed compared to prior examinations, and measures 6.7 x 7.8 x 7.3 cm. There is again mass effect on the trachea with loss of intervening fat planes and leftward displacement. A tracheostomy tube is in place and the airway is open. There is also loss of fat plane between this mass and the esophagus and thyroid cartilage as well as the right common carotid artery. There is no right carotid narrowing. Unable to evaluate for venous anatomy patency given phase of contrast. The left thyroid is also enlarged with multiple coarsely calcified nodules, but does not extend below the thoracic inlet. Heart is moderately enlarged. There is a small pericardial effusion. Numerous mildly enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes are unchanged measuring up to 1.0 cm in the precarinal station. There is no axillary adenopathy. The airways are patent to the segmental level bilaterally. There are small right greater than left pleural effusions with bibasilar atelectasis also more pronounced on the right.

Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed per ___ protocol. The patient was placed in a supine position on the CT scan table. Limited preprocedure CTscan of the intended biopsy area was performed. Based on the CT findings an appropriate position for the biopsy was chosen. The site was marked. The site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine were administered to the subcutaneous and deep tissues for local anesthetic effect. Under CT guidance, a 17 gauge coaxial needle was introduced into the lesion. An 18 gauge core biopsy device with a 20 mm throw was used to obtain 6 core biopsy specimens, which were sent for pathology. The specimen was evaluated by onsite cytologist. The more superficial samples showed adequate tissue sample, but without definite atypia. Deeper samples showed atypia but evaluation was limited by extensive necrosis.

Despite up-titration of diuretics, she continued to have worsening dyspnea so she underwent L pleural catheter placement ___ (Dr. ___. After the procedure, her dyspnea dramatically improved. She was recently admitted for similar issue from ___ to the medicine service after she had increasing erythema at pleurex site and increasing cloudy/bloody drainage. She failed outpatient Keflex treatment and was treated for a 13 day course of initially vanc/CTX then narrowed to doxycycline/cefpodoxime for cellulitis. There was also initially concern for empyema but pleural fluid analysis seemed more consistent with transudative process and cultures were negative. Patient presented to ___ clinic today with worsening shortness of breath after her pleurex had drained minimal fluid over the last week. Per notes, IP team was considering pulling pleurex this week given minimal output over last few weeks and patient was holding warfarin. On exam, her catheter was foul smelling and skin surrounding was indurated and erythematous concerning for cellulitis.

Dear ___, It was a pleasure caring for you at ___ ___. You were hospitalized for difficulty breathing due to fluid surrounding your lungs called pleural effusions. More than a liter was drained from the right side. The tunneled pleural catheter on the left side drained well after your interventional pulmonologist instilled a medication to dissolve adhesions. We treated a skin infection around the catheter insertion site too. Please continue two antibiotics as prescribed. See the attached medication reconciliation for details. As you know, the effusions are due to aortic stenosis, so we hoped to assess your candidacy for a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) while you were here. In the end, we postponed the pre-TAVR coronary angiogram due to your kidney function. The structural heart team will revisit the possibility of a TAVR when you follow-up with them in clinic. We increased your torsemide to 40 mg daily to slow the accumulation of fluid until then. You previously took three 10-milligram pills. You should take four 10-milligram pills now. If you prefer, you can take two 10-milligram pills twice per day as discussed. This might lessen your hand cramping. We wish you all the best. Sincerely, Your ___ care team

FINDINGS: Upright and supine abdominal radiographs reveal a catheter entering the left lower quadrant and curling dependently within the pelvis, likely reflecting the peritoneal dialysis catheter. Prominent small and large bowel loops are seen with mild dilatation in air-fluid levels in small bowel, possibly reflecting mild ileus with air and stool seen in the colon and rectum. Centralization of bowel loops may reflect ascites. Imaged lung bases are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: PD catheter is curled within the pelvis. Mild ileus. Radiology Report TUNNELED HEMODIALYSIS LINE PLACEMENT CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ man with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, failing the use of new peritoneal dialysis catheter, needs tunneled hemodialysis line. Informed consent for the procedure was obtained after risks, benefits, and potential complications had been discussed. The patient was placed on the angiographic table in supine position and the skin of the right anterior neck and right anterior chest wall was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. Timeout protocol was carried out prior to the procedure according to the ___ ___ policy. PHYSICIANS: ___ MD ___ MD (___) and ___ MD ___ physician). ANESTHESIA: Local, 1% lidocaine. MONITORED CONSCIOUS SEDATION: The procedure was performed under monitored conscious sedation. The patient received a total quantity of 1 mg of Versed and 100 mcg of fentanyl intravenously during the procedural time of 21 minutes, while his hemodynamic parameters and pulse oximetry were continually monitored by trained radiology nurse. After generous infiltration of the subcutaneous soft tissues by 1% lidocaine, and under real-time ultrasound guidance, the patent and fully compressible right internal jugular vein was punctured using 21-gauge micropuncture needle. Over a 0.018 guide wire, micropuncture needle was exchanged for a 4 ___ micropuncture sheath. A 0.035 ___ guide wire was then advanced through the 4 ___ micropuncture sheath into the right atrium and prospective length of a tunneled hemodialysis line was calculated. ___ guide wire was subsequently reintroduced into the right atrium and advanced into the inferior vena cava. The attention was then diverted to the right anterior chest wall. After generous infiltration of subcutaneous soft tissues by 1% lidocaine without and with epinephrine, a narrow skin incision was made inferior and lateral to the right internal jugular venipuncture. A soft tissue tunnel was created by blunt dissection between the chest wall incision and right internal jugular venipuncture. A new 24-cm long 14 ___ hemodialysis catheter was then pulled through the tunnel. After appropriate dilatation of the needle tract, the tip of the catheter was advanced into the right atrium through the appropriate peel-away sheath which was subsequently removed. Right internal jugular venipuncture was sutured using 4.0 Vicryl suture. The hemodialysis catheter was secured to the skin outside the tunnel using 0 silk sutures and covered with sterile dressing. Dr. ___, the attending physician, supervised this interventional procedure. CONCLUSION: 1. Placement of a tunneled hemodialysis line into the right atrium via the right internal jugular vein under ultrasound and fluoroscopic visualization. 2. The line is ready to use.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking part in your care. You were admitted to the hospital because you had an infection of the peritoneum. We believe this is because of your peritoneal dialysis catheter. Your peritoneal dialysis catheter was removed and you were treated with antibiotics. Your PD catheter was replaced but the peritoneal dialysis did not go as well as we hoped. Given that, an HD line was placed and you were started on hemodialysis, which you tolerated well. You are being discharged on hemodialysis but we have left your PD catheter in place as you may be able to resume this after discharge. The following changes were made to your medications: 1. Start vancomycin with hemodialysis for at least ___ weeks. The final course will be determined by your outpatient providers. STOP the intraperitoneal vancomycin. 2. Start dulcolax per rectum as needed for constipation 3. Stop oral iron and start IV iron with hemodialysis 4. Stop taking calciferol 5. Start taking acetaminophen 650mg by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain. 6. Start taking oxycodone ___ by mouth every 8 hours as needed for pain. Please keep your follow-up appointments.

Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with recent diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Patient is status post ERCP five days prior with placement of a metallic common bile duct stent. Patient is now presenting with vomiting. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___ and CT abdomen and pelvis from ___. TECHNIQUE: Outside hospital images from ___ were presented for second opinion review. Multidetector CT images of the abdomen from the lung bases to the iliac crests were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. Intravenous contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. CT ABDOMEN WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Redemonstrate is focal bronchiectasis with probable mucous plugging in the right middle lobe, unchanged from prior (3:2). No pulmonary nodule or effusion is identified. The imaged cardiac apex is within normal limits. Redemonstrated is an irregular soft tissue density mass extending from the hepatic hilum along the biliary tree, findings consistent with patient's known history of cholangiocarcinoma. Additionally, there is marked fat stranding and irregular soft tissue density extending inferiorly from the porta hepatis to surround the ascending colon and proximal duodenum. As compared to CT abdomen from ___, this soft density is more extensive and now has a nodular appearance. Differential considerations include spread of primary tumor or non-specific inflammatory changes. Additionally, there is new scalloping along the liver capsule (3:11, 18, 20), which is concerning for metastatic spread. There is moderate intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, which has progressed since the most recent prior examination from ___. A metallic stent within the common bile duct appears in expected position. A punctate foci of air is seen in the gallbladder fossa, likely within a decompressed gallbladder (3:30). The hepatic veins and portal venous system are grossly patent. The stomach is markedly distended and filled with fluid. There is severe diffuse wall thickening of the proximal duodenum (3:32) as it courses medial to the porta hepatis in the above described region of irregular soft tissue density. The lumen of the proximal duodenum appears compressed likely due to extrinsic mass effect. More distal loops of small bowel are normal in caliber and with signs of acute inflammation. There is a mild amount of free fluid throughout the abdomen. The spleen appears normal. The adrenal glands are symmetric without focal nodule. There is symmetric enhancement and excretion of both kidneys without suspicious focal lesion or hydronephrosis. Redemonstrated is atrophy of the pancreatic tail and irregular upstream dilatation of the pancreatic duct, unchanged from prior. The pancreatic duct is not visualized in the region of the head and neck, similar to prior, though no discrete mass lesion is identified at the site of transition. Scattered subcentimeter hypodense lesions in the pancreatic parenchyma may represent dilated side branches of the duct or small cystic lesions, similar to the prior. Known enlarged lymph nodes within the portacaval and peripancreatic region are not well seen secondary to significant stranding in this region. Incidental note is made of a duplicated IVC. BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: No bone destructive lesion or acute fracture is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Dilated stomach with marked wall thickening of the proximal duodenum as it passes near the porta hepatis at site of infiltrative tumor, consistent with duodenal outlet obstruction with possible infiltration of the duodenum. 2. Progressive irregular soft tissue density extending from the hepatic hilum inferiorly. Then nodular character of this density suggests progression of primary tumor and less likely non-specific inflammatory changes 3. Scalloping along the liver capsule concerning for metastases. 4. Common bile duct stent in expected position, though progression of intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. Radiology Report EXAM: Chest frontal and lateral views. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Right upper quadrant pain, question free air. ___. FINDINGS: The lungs are clear without focal consolidation. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. No evidence of free air is seen beneath the diaphragm. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. No evidence of free air beneath the diaphragm. Radiology Report PA AND LATERAL CHEST, ___ COMPARISON: ___ radiograph. FINDINGS: New left lower lobe opacity is associated with volume loss, manifested by posterior displacement of the left major fissure. A left pleural effusion has increased in size, and is now moderate with a likely subpulmonic component. New poorly-defined somewhat nodular opacities have developed in the right upper lobe. Cardiomediastinal contours are stable in appearance except for slight inferior displacement of the left hilum. Small right pleural effusion has slightly increased in size and is associated with adjacent opacity in the right retrocardiac area. IMPRESSION: 1. New left lower lobe opacity. Rapid development and associated volume loss favor atelectasis over infectious pneumonia. 2. New poorly defined opacities in right upper lobe, which could represent developing bronchopneumonia or an acute aspiration event. 3. Moderate left pleural effusion with apparent subpulmonic component. Small right pleural effusion.

You and your family expressed understanding about your risk to fall at home and decided against rehabilitation at this time. We will send you home with physical therapy services. We did not make any changes to your medications. You should continue with your home medications as prescribed by your doctor. You should also continue with your dialysis sessions every MWF. All the best for a speedy recovery! Sincerely, ___ Treatment Team
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: morphine / Cefzil / Dilantin Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: status epilepticus Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: Lumbar puncture ___ History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with epilepsy who presents from clinic with seizures. PER ___ note: "She has suffered from complex partial epilepsy since the age of ___ with secondary generalization. Seizure semiology begins with aura of gastric rising sensation, followed by right facial twitching, right arm flexion. She has semi-purposeful movements and slightly impaired awareness. She calls these "small seizures" but notes that if she has generalization to a larger seizure, which includes leg twitching and what she describes as a stronger gastric sensation, she notes that she typically has seizure clusters. She did not endorse any gastric rising sensations to me leading up to the event. When she feels as if she will cluster, she typically reaches for her rescue 1mg dissolvable clonazepam. She goes to the ED every time she has a seizure over 5 minutes or if she has seizure clusters. She has had to be admitted to the hospital frequently and has had multiple ED visits over the past month. In our system, she was admitted in ___ and ___ (just discharged last week). The patient herself notes thats she has had many hospitalizations with at least two intubations secondary to medication non-adherence. She notes that while she was in school at ___, and even now, she occasionally (several times a week) misses her medications, particularly her morning doses, as she forgets to take them or when she remembers she is sometimes too embarrassed to take them in public. Seizure frequency is at least once or twice a month. She has had two hospitalizations in ___ (most recently at ___ last week, earlier in ___ she was in ___). She was also hospitalized at ___ (intubated) and intubated at ___ in ___ for management of status. On all occasions, she notes triggers/exacerbations included medication non-adherence (at baseline, missing at least ___ morning doses a week) in the setting of: sleep deprivation (staying up late, ___ practice division 1 waking up early, running in heat, and around her menses potentially. Regarding a possible association of her seizures with menses, she notes that she recently received a hormone implant in her arm and that has made her period even more irregular. On two of her different hospitalizations, she was given Dilantin and broke out into hives. She also reports a period of Dilantin toxicity, where she was "walking into walls" at ___. In her last hospitalization at ___ last week, she initially presented to ___ and was transferred to our facility after having a witnessed GTC with right gaze deviation. She was given 500mg IV keppra and 1mg IV Ativan and transferred to ___ ED where she progressed into status epilepticus in the setting of missed lamotrigine and keppra doses. She was loaded with lacosamide, which was discontinued on discharge given her return to baseline and normalized cvEEG. Her AED regimen on discharge was unchanged and included lamictal 150/175 and keppra 1g BID as well as clonazepam 0.25mg BID (which the patient says she has not been taking for 3 weeks with exception of hospital admission last week where she was given it). Since discharge from hospital, she says she has been adherent with her medications. She has been sleeping well but does have some stress related to medical leave of absence from ___. She took this in ___ and moved back in with her mother and her mother's boyfriend, which she says is "not ideal" wishing that she can return to college living ("but without the college.") No recent sicknesses, colds, dysuria." She now presenst to ___ ED for breakthough seizure. Per OMR note: "During her clinic visit, she suffered a complex partial seizure with secondary generalization. The event began during physical exam and after history was obtained. As I asked her to extend her extremities for evaluation of pronator drift, she developed a subtle right hand tremor. She continued to talk to me throughout the tremor, noting that sometimes her hand shakes a little from "nerves." Within seconds, she developed a right facial twitch with right eye and then left eye twitching. She was still responding to me and was regarding me with semi-purposeful movements during this episode but I called for assistance with bracing the patient concerned that she will soon generalize. She then became unresponsive to me but with warm extremities, a strong and regular pulse, and normal respirations. I turned her to lie on her right side on the table. Her eyes then deviated to the right, her teeth chattered, she was foaming at the mouth but did not turn blue. Her right arm flexed, curling towards her core, her left arm stiffened, and both her lower extremities stiffened for <3 seconds followed by low-grade convlusions. This generalized episode (right arm flexion, bilateral leg twitching, right head deviation, eye deviation to the right) lasted approximately ___ seconds and then resolved although without return to baseline status, with relaxed extremities and midline gaze although with ongoing ocular flutter. She remained in the more-relaxed phase for approximately 1 minute followed by successive ~40-second generalized seizures. Time span was roughly 10 minutes prior to EMS arrival. I gave her 2x 1mg disintegrating clonazepam (which I took out of her bag as she told me she carries an emergency supply) while awaiting for EMS. On EMS team arrival, vitals were stable, she was saturating 98% on RA. IV was placed but Ativan was not available as part of code cart. She was taken urgently downstairs by EMS team and a call-in was placed to the ED. She remained unresponsive to voice and verbal stimuli throughout her event, starting at approximately ___ (EMS departure time)." On arrival to ___ ED patient note to be seizing with head and eyes devaited to the right as wella s RUE stiffening. She was given Ativan a ___ of 6 mg and loaded with keppra 1g and lacosamide 200mg x1 with resolution of seizure. ___, ___ adter she bgean seizing again and was intubated.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___! You were admitted with several seizures. You were very sleepy because of the seizures and the medicines we needed to give you to stop the seizures, and you needed a breathing tube for a short period. We did some additional testing to make sure there were no other treatable reasons for you to have epilepsy. You had an MRI scan, which looked normal. You also had a spinal tap, which was normal. Keep taking the levetiracetam (Keppra) without change. Increase your lamotrigine as directed below: Date AMPM ___ daily dose 150 mg tabs 25 mg tabs 150 mg tabs 25 mg tabs ___ ___ mg ___ ___ For more epilepsy information, you may want to look at the following web sites: ___ ___ Epilepsy Foundation ___ International League Against Epilepsy These sites have very reliable information about seizures, diagnosis, medications and other treatments, written by medical professionals with expertise in epilepsy care. They also have helpful tools to help you manage your seizures, such as seizure diaries, medication information sheets, and seizure preparedness plans. Finally, several of the sites have online patient support groups and links to additional information. You can also reach our local Epilepsy Foundation affiliate, Epilepsy Foundation ___, ___ Island, ___ & ___ for local educational events, programs, and support groups at: ___/ Phone: ___ Toll free ___ _______________________________________________________________ FIRST AID FOR SEIZURES _______________________________________________________________ Don't panic. Stay calm during the seizure. Speak calmly to the person and to others in the area. Don't expect the person to talk during the seizure. Look for identification or a medical alert bracelet. Realize that you cannot stop the seizure. Don't try to bring the person out of the seizure by using cold water, or by slapping or shaking the person. GENERALIZED TONIC-CLONIC SEIZURE (GRAND MAL) During the seizure: The person may fall, stiffen, and make jerking movements. The person may turn pale or blue from difficult breathing. 1. Help the person into a lying position and put something soft under the head. 2. Remove glasses and loosen any tight clothing. 3. Clear the area of hard or sharp objects. 4. Do not put anything into the person's mouth or force anything between his/her teeth. It is impossible to swallow the tongue. You don't need to try to keep the person from swallowing his or her tongue. 5. Do not try to restrain the person; you cannot stop the seizure and you may injure them. 6. Turn the person onto his or her side as soon as possible to help breathing and to allow saliva to drain from the mouth. After the seizure: The person will awaken confused and disoriented. 1. Stay with the person until he or she is fully alert 2. Do not offer the person any food or drink until fully awake. 3. Let the person rest or sleep. Be reassuring. COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES (TEMPORAL LOBE, PSYCHOMOTOR) During the seizure: The person may have a glassy stare; give no response or inappropriate responses when questioned; sit, stand, or walk about aimlessly; make lip smacking or chewing motions; fidget with clothes; appear to be drunk, drugged, or confused. 1. Do not try to stop or restrain the person unless there is danger - for example, if the person could fall down stairs or walk into traffic. 2. Try to remove harmful objects from the person's pathway or coax the person away from them. 3. Do not upset the person. 4. When alone, do no approach the person who appears to be angry or aggressive. After the seizure: 1. The person may be confused or disoriented after regaining consciousness and should not be left alone until fully alert. IT IS RARELY NECESSARY TO CALL FOR MEDICAL HELP UNLESS: 1. You know that the person does NOT have epilepsy. 2. You know that the person has diabetes or low blood sugar. 3. The person does not start breathing after the seizure. Begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 4. The person has one seizure right after another, or a seizure lasting longer than ___ minutes. 5. The person is pregnant, ill, or injured. 6. The seizure occurred in water, because the person may have inhaled or swallowed water. 7. The person requests an ambulance. ________________________________________________________________ SEIZURE SAFETY ________________________________________________________________ The following tips will help you to make your home and surroundings as safe as possible during or following a seizure. Some people with epilepsy will not need to make any of these changes. Use this list to balance your safety with the way you want to live your life. Make sure that everyone in your family and in your home knows: - what to expect when you have a seizure - correct seizure first aid - first aid for choking - when it is (and isn't) necessary to call for emergency help Avoid things that are known to increase the risk of a seizure: - forgetting to take medications - not getting enough sleep - drinking a lot of alcohol - using illegal drugs In the kitchen: - As much as possible, cook and use electrical appliances only when someone else is in the house. - Use a microwave if possible. - Use the back burners of the stove. Turn handles of pans toward the back of the stove. - Avoid carrying hot pans; serve hot food and liquids directly from the stove onto plates. - Use pre-cut foods or use a blender or food processor to limit the need for sharp knives. - Wear rubber gloves when handling knives or washing dishes or glasses in the sink. - Use plastic cups, dishes, and containers rather than breakable glass. In the living room: - Avoid open fires. - Avoid trailing wires and clutter on the floor. - Lay a soft, easy-to-clean carpet. - Put safety glass in windows and doors. - Pad sharp corners of tables and other furniture, and buy furniture with rounded corners. - Avoid smoking or lighting fires when you're by yourself. - Try to avoid climbing up on chairs or ladders, especially when alone. - If you wander during seizures, make sure that outside doors are securely locked and put safety gates at the top of steep stairs.

Parenting: - Childproof your home as much as possible. - If you are nursing a baby, sit on the floor or bed with your back supported so the baby will not fall far if you should lose consciousness. - Feed the baby while he or she is seated in an infant seat. - Dress, change, and sponge bathe the baby on the floor. - Move the baby around in a stroller or small crib. - Keep a young baby in a playpen when you are alone, and a toddler in an indoor play yard, or childproof one room and use safety gates at the doors. - When out of the house, use a bungee-type cord or restraint harness so your child cannot wander away if you have a seizure that affects your awareness. - Explain your seizures to your child when he or she is old enough to understand. _______________________________________________________________ EPILEPSY AND DRIVING IN ___ _______________________________________________________________ One of the most uncomfortable discussions that doctors and ___ have with patients with epilepsy involve restrictions on driving, because your driver's license may seem essential to your independence. Although most state laws about driving and epilepsy are now less restrictive than they were many years ago, these laws were written to lessen the chance of harm to yourself or others resulting from you having a seizure while driving. Therefore, every state regulates driver's license eligibility for people with epilepsy. As a driver's license holder, it is your responsibility to know the regulations in your state. The most common requirement is that you must be seizure-free for a certain period of time before you can be allowed to drive. The seizure- free period varies from state to state. Some states do not specify a set seizure-free period. Instead, they ask for your doctor's recommendation about whether you can drive safely. Although physicians can offer an opinion on your ability to drive safely, the department of motor vehicles makes the final decision. In some states, the physician can offer such an opinion if your seizures do not interfere with consciousness or control of movement, you may be able to continue driving, if your seizures occur only at certain times (especially during sleep) or if you always have an aura that would warn you to pull off the road before a seizure begins. In a few states, some people with seizures can get a restricted license, which allows them to drive under certain conditions. If you are still having seizures, don't hide it from your doctor in order to keep your driver's license. Not reporting seizures makes it impossible for your doctor to treat your epilepsy effectively. The doctor may be able to prevent more seizures from occurring by making a small change in the dosage of your seizure medicine, for instance, but that won't happen if the doctor doesn't know that it's necessary. Inadequate treatment may lead to more seizures and then you or someone else may be injured. If your seizures make it unsafe for you to drive, you will need to find other means of transportation. Public transportation, carpooling, van transportation, and even bicycle riding can be used to preserve your sense of independence while keeping you and others safe. Remember that restrictions do not always last a lifetime. They may be temporary, just until your seizures are under good control. If your seizures are well controlled, use your driving privileges as a reason to take good care of yourself. If you always take your seizure medicines as prescribed, get enough sleep, limit your alcohol consumption, and visit your doctor regularly, you will be more likely to be able to continue driving safely and legally. Below are the driving laws in ___ You must be free of seizures for at least 6 months. In some cases, your doctor can submit a statement concerning your ability to drive safely, which may lessen the time before you can drive. You must report your seizures to the ___ department of motor vehicles and voluntarily surrender your license, or be subject to suspension or revocation. If your license is surrendered, your doctor must submit a letter stating that you have been seizure free for 6 months before you can begin driving. All the best, Your Neurology Care Team!

After administration of 9 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. COMPARISON: MRI head with without contrast of ___, CT head without contrast of ___. FINDINGS: The examination particularly the postcontrast sequences are motion degraded. Within these confines: There are 3 new foci of slow diffusion of the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres, 2 in the left (series 502, image 2 and 3) and 1 in the right (series 502, image 1). An additional punctate focus of slow diffusion of inferior temporal lobe (series 502, image 7) appear separate from the prior temporal infarct described in ___. These lesions demonstrate associated FLAIR hyperintense signal, compatible with late acute to subacute infarct. There is no clear associated enhancement, however postcontrast sequences are severely motion limited. Additional scattered foci of subtle cortical diffusion-weighted hyperintense signal of the right frontal lobe (series 502, image 24), right postcentral gyrus (series 502, image 223) and left medial frontal lobe along the precentral gyrus (series 502, image 22) are noted without clear ADC correlate and with equivocal associated FLAIR hyperintense signal are also suspicious with additional foci of subacute infarct. In the region of previous acute infarct, there is now developing encephalomalacia with mildly enhancing gyriform cortical diffusion-weighted hyperintense signal of the left temporal lobe and pseudo normalized ADC correlate, compatible with subacute infarct. This region demonstrates T1 intrinsic hyperintense signal compatible with cortical laminar necrosis. There is also superimposed gradient echo susceptibility blooming artifact within the region of prior infarct, corresponding to known hemorrhagic transformation demonstrated on CT examination of ___. The major intracranial flow voids are preserved. The dural venous sinuses are patent. The paranasal sinuses are clear. The patient is status post right lens replacement, otherwise orbits are unremarkable. The mastoid air cells demonstrate trace fluid signal at the tips. IMPRESSION: 1. Multiple new foci of slow diffusion involving the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres and left temporal lobe, demonstrating associated FLAIR hyperintense signal without definitive enhancement, compatible with a combination of late acute to subacute infarcts of varying chronicity. 2. Additional scattered foci of diffusion-weighted hyperintense signal without clear ADC hypointensity and equivocal FLAIR hyperintense signal of the bilateral frontal and right parietal lobes, concerning for subacute infarcts. 3. The above combination of findings would suggest a central/ embolic etiology. 4. Subacute left temporal lobe infarct, now demonstrating encephalomalacia and mildly enhancing gyriform diffusion-weighted cortical hyperintensity with pseudo normalization on ADC and associated pseudo laminar necrosis. There is gradient echo susceptibility blooming artifact within the subacute infarct compatible with hemorrhagic transformation, noted on prior CT examination. 5. Potentially, the gyriform diffusion-weighted hyperintense signal of the left temporal lobe could be seen in setting of seizure activity, however there is no cortical thickening to suggest edema. 6. Postcontrast examination is severely motion degraded. No clear enhancing mass lesions are identified. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the telephoneon ___ at 3:45 ___, at the time of discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Chest radiographs. INDICATION: ___ with increase confusion // eval for pna TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral COMPARISON: Chest radiographs dated ___, CT chest dated ___. FINDINGS: Left central venous line terminates at the cavoatrial junction. Multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules are better characterized on recent CT chest examination. Bibasilar atelectasis is noted without lobar consolidation, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or pulmonary edema. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. IMPRESSION: Bibasilar atelectasis without lobar consolidation. Numerous pulmonary nodules are better visualized on prior CT chest examination. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK PQ147 CT HEADNECK INDICATION: ___ male with with acute infarct on MRI. Evaluate for aneurysm. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Subsequently, helically acquired rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the infusion of 70 mL of Omnipaque350 intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) CT Localizer Radiograph 2) CT Localizer Radiograph 3) Sequenced Acquisition 6.4 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 56.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 897.1 mGy-cm. 4) Stationary Acquisition 5.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 59.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 30.0 mGy-cm. 5) Spiral Acquisition 4.9 s, 38.5 cm; CTDIvol = 32.0 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,234.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 2,161 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT from ___ and MRI from ___. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: Evolving cerebellar and left temporal lobe infarcts are seen with developing encephalomalacia. There is a focus of encephalomalacia in the right frontal lobe, likely from prior lacunar infarction. There is no evidence of no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The visualized portion of the mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. Right cataract extraction changes are seen. There is minimal mucosal thickening in the ethmoid sinuses. Cerumen is seen in the bilateral external auditory canals. CTA HEAD: There is minimal atherosclerotic calcification of the cavernous carotid arteries. Otherwise, the vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches appear normal without stenosis, occlusion or aneurysm formation. The dural venous sinuses are patent. CTA NECK: There is minimal atherosclerotic calcification at the origin of the great vessels and the bilateral carotid bulbs. Medialization of the internal carotid arteries is seen. Otherwise, the carotid and vertebral arteries and their major branches appear normal with no evidence of stenosis or occlusion. There is no evidence of internal carotid stenosis by NASCET criteria. OTHER: Multiple enlarging nodules are seen in the bilateral lung apices, better visualized on the dedicated CT chest from ___. Multiple small mediastinal lymph nodes are seen. There is a partially visualized left central venous catheter. The visualized portion of the thyroid gland is within normal limits. There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. Degenerative changes are noted throughout the cervical spine. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage. Evolving cerebellar and left temporal lobe infarctions. 2. No evidence of aneurysm greater than 3 mm, dissection or vascular malformation, or significant luminal narrowing. 3. Multiple enlarging lung nodules seen on CT chest from ___ which likely represents progressive metastatic disease.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the ___ on ___ with slurred speech and word finding difficulty. MRI that you had a number of tiny strokes on both sides of your brain, which we think may be related to atrial fibrillation and hypercoagulability from cancer. While you were here we transitioned you from elequis to lovenox. We did an echocardiogram to look for a source of stroke coming from your heart and we found no pathology. Your exam showed stable to slightly improved and physical therapy felt that you were safe for discharge home with services. Incidentally, we found that your platelet count was quite low on this admission (27) and with input from your oncologist we transfused you a unit of platelets. Your counts improved (to 57), but it is important that we monitor the levels closely, going forward. You will follow up in Oncology on ___ Please follow up in stroke clinic as listed below and remain on the medications listed in your discharge packet. It was a pleasure taking care of you during this hospitalization. Sincerely, Your ___ Neurology Team

CT abdomen ___. TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___, Interventional Radiology Fellow and Dr. ___, attending radiologist performed the procedure. Dr. ___ personally supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and has reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 250 mcg of fentanyl and 4.5 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 1 hr 30 min during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. CONTRAST: 75 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 51.7 min, 766 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Placement of a 16 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. A Kumpe catheter was inserted using a stiff glidewire as an NG-tube in order to insufflate the stomach. The abdomen was then prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A scout image of the abdomen was obtained. The stomach was insufflated through the indwelling nasogastric tube. A lateral spot view confirmed that no colon was interposed between the stomach in the anterior abdominal wall. Using a marker, the skin was marked using palpation to feel the costal margins and the liver edge was marked using ultrasound. Under fluoroscopic guidance, 3 T fastener buttons were sequentially deployed in a triangular position elevating the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall. Intra-gastric position was confirmed with aspiration of air and injection of contrast. A 19 gauge needle was introduced under fluoroscopic guidance and position confirmed using an injection of dilute contrast. The needle trajectory was directed towards the pylorus. A ___ wire was introduced and coiled within the stomach. A small skin incision was made along the needle and the needle was removed. An 8 ___ sheath was placed after dilatation with 6 and 8 ___ serial dilators. A combination of multiple catheters and wires were used to attempt access into the small bowel, including a Kumpe, C2, ___ 1, angled glidewire, straight glidewire, and ___ wire. This was very difficult given severe gastroparesis with no contrast seen in the small bowel at any point prior to small bowel access. Eventually, access was obtained into the small bowel using a combination of the Cobra catheter and the ___ wire. The ___ wire was exchanged for ___ wire, over which the sheath was advanced into the small bowel. The Cobra catheter was then exchanged for the ___ 1 catheter and the ___ wire was advanced into the distal small bowel utilizing the curved leading edge of the ___ 1 catheter. The catheter and sheath were then removed over the wire. Dilation of the percutaneous tract was attempted using serial dilators, but this was unsuccessful. The dilators were removed and a 7 mm balloon was advanced into the percutaneous tract and gently inflated. The 20 ___ peel-away sheath was then able to be advanced into the stomach. The inner dilators were withdrawn over the wire. Next, a 16 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy catheter was advanced over the wire into position. The sheath was then peeled away. The wire and sheath were removed. The catheter was locked by instilling 7 ml of dilute contrast into the balloon in the stomach after confirming the position of the catheter with a contrast injection. The catheter was then flushed, capped and secured to the skin with 0-silk sutures and the retention disc. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate complications. FINDINGS: 1. Successful placement of a 16 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube with its tip in the proximal jejunum. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of a 16 ___ MIC gastrojejunostomy tube with its tip in the proximal jejunum. The gastric port should not be used for 24 hours.

COMPARISON: MRI of the lumbar spine from ___. Pelvic CT from ___. FINDINGS: CHEST: The imaged portions of the thyroid gland are normal. There is no axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The heart is normal size. Trace pericardial fluid is within the normal physiologic range. The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of acute aortic pathology. There are no significant atherosclerotic calcifications. The main pulmonary artery trunk is mildly dilated, measuring 3.5 cm. This suggests mild underlying pulmonary hypertension. The airways are patent to the subsegmental levels. Evaluation of the pulmonary parenchyma is limited by respiratory motion and moderate bibasilar dependent atelectasis. Moderate emphysematous changes are noted. There are several sub 4 mm pulmonary nodules in the right middle lobe (2; 22, 24, and 25). There is a 6 mm pleural-based nodule in the right lower lobe (2, 26). There is no pulmonary edema or focal airspace consolidation to suggest pneumonia. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. ABDOMEN: The liver is normal in shape and contour. There are no focal hepatic lesions. The portal veins are patent. The gallbladder is mildly distended, but there is no CT evidence of cholecystitis. The spleen pancreas, and adrenal glands are normal. In the lower pole of the left kidney, there is a 23 mm cyst. No other renal lesions are identified. There is no hydronephrosis or pyelonephritis. The kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically. The stomach and small bowel are normal in caliber. There is no evidence of obstruction, free air or free fluid. There is no retroperitoneal hematoma. There is no periportal, retroperitoneal, or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The origin of the celiac artery is compressed by the diaphragmatic crus with moderate to severe narrowing and post stenotic dilation. There is no atherosclerotic disease. This finding can be seen in median arcuate ligament syndrome. The remainder of the arterial vasculature is normal with trace atherosclerotic calcifications. PELVIS: Evaluation of the pelvis is limited by metallic artifact from the left total hip arthroplasty. Within the limitations, the imaged portions of the large bowel are normal without focal inflammatory changes or evidence of a mass. A Foley catheter is present within the bladder. The bladder and prostate are otherwise unremarkable. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is evidence of a prior abdominal wall hernia repair in the right lower quadrant. Soft tissue stranding in the anterior abdominal wall fat is likely from recent subcutaneous injections. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: The patient is status post a total left hip arthroplasty. There are old healing fractures in the left superior and inferior pubic rami. A compression fracture of L1 is better evaluated on the recent MRI of the lumbar spine. No other compression fractures are identified. There are no concerning lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of hemorrhage in the chest, abdomen, or pelvis. 2. Moderate emphysema. 3. Multiple pulmonary nodules, the largest which measures 6 mm. Recommend a repeat chest CT in 6 months. 4. L1 compression fracture, better evaluated on the recent MRI. 5. Probable median arcuate ligament syndrome. Recommend correlation with symptoms.

COMPARISON: CTA of the head and neck dated ___. Prior head CT without contrast dated ___. FINDINGS: MR Head: Th there is an extensive area of encephalomalacia in the vascular territory of the right middle cerebral artery, causing ex vacuo dilatation of the lateral ventricle and asymmetry of the right cerebral peduncle. No diffusion abnormalities are detected to suggest acute or subacute ischemic changes. The patient is status post right frontal parietal craniotomy. There is a chronic appearing subdural collection with mild enhancement along the right frontal temporal region mild no significant mass effect, unchanged since the prior head CT dated ___. The examination is partially limited due to patient motion On the axial images without contrast, there is a punctate focus of enhancement in the pons (image 8, series 17), likely artifactual, which is not visible in other sequence. The vascular flow void of the right internal carotid is not detected, likely consistent with chronic conclusion. MRA Head: There is occlusion of the right proximal internal carotid artery, apparently there is reconstitution of the distal branches via collateral flow from the right external carotid artery and right posterior communicating artery. The vascular signal throughout the right middle severe artery appears decreased. The basilar artery appears patent as well as the vertebral arteries, the left internal carotid artery is tortuous with mild narrowing of the distal middle cerebral artery, suggesting arteriosclerotic disease, the right posterior cerebral artery appears patent with fetal origin. No aneurysms are identified. IMPRESSION: 1.

DLP: 3889 mGy-cm (abdomen and pelvis). IV Contrast: 130 mL of Omnipaque COMPARISON: CT from ___. FINDINGS: VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. There is diffuse atherosclerotic disease involving the abdominal aorta, bilateral iliac arteries and lower extremity arteries. Calcified atherosclerotic disease is noted in the bilateral common femoral arteries causing approximate 50% stenosis. Diffuse atherosclerotic disease of the bilateral superficial femoral artery causing multilevel significant stenosis and occlusion to the level of the popliteal arteries bilaterally is unchanged. There is extensive atherosclerotic disease and multiple areas of stenoses of the tibial vessels with three vessel runoff on the left, two vessel runoff on the right (peroneal and posterior tibial).. LOWER CHEST: The visualized lung bases are clear without focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The heart is normal in size without pericardial effusion. Coronary artery calcifications are noted. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There is no evidence of focal lesions. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits, without stones or gallbladder wall thickening. PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions. ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: Multiple bilateral renal cysts are noted. The kidneys have normal nephrograms. A left renal defect is again noted, likely reflective of prior ischemic insult. There is no evidence of stones or hydronephrosis. There are no urothelial lesions in the kidneys or ureters. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: Small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness and enhancement throughout. Diverticulosis is noted without evidence of diverticulitis. . There is no evidence of mesenteric lymphadenopathy. RETROPERITONEUM: There is no evidence of retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no evidence of pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Prostate is enlarged. BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is no evidence of worrisome lesions. Abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: Diffuse atherosclerotic disease involving the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries and lower extremity runoff as described above. Heavy atherosclerotic calcifications cause stenosis and eventual occlusion of the superficial femoral arteries to the level of the popliteal arteries bilaterally. The popliteal arteries are difficult to identify due to bilateral total knee replacements.Though extensive atherosclerotic disease and multiple areas of stenoses, the three vessel runoff appears on the left, two vessel runoff on the right.

Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you here at ___ ___. You were admitted to our hospital with a worrisome painful ulcer on your ___ right toe. We did multiple tests that showed the blood flow to your foot is severely compromised. You are safe to go home on oral antibiotics but we plan to have you return to the hospital for an angiogram. At that time we hope to place a stent in the blocked arteries to improve your circulation and promote healing of this wound. If that is not possible, we may need to do a bypass surgery to get this wound to heal. Please keep the toe dry and clean.

INDICATION: ___ year old woman with neck pain, complaint of arm weakness// Cord compression, disc herniation. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique. Axial T2 imaging was performed. Axial GRE images of the cervical spine were performed. After the uneventful administration of 7 mL of Gadavist contrast agent, additional axial and sagittal T1 images were obtained. COMPARISON: CT lumbar spine ___. FINDINGS: CERVICAL: There is no evidence of vertebral body height loss within the cervical spine. There is minimal, 1-2 mm of retrolisthesis of C5 on C6 and C6 on C7. The bone marrow signal is normal. There is a background of minimal congenital cervical spinal canal narrowing, which combines with degenerative changes as follows: C1-C2, C2-C3: There is no definite spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. C3-C4: There is a minimal posterior disc bulge which results in mild canal stenosis with uncovertebral joint hypertrophy resulting in moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. C4-C5: A posterior disc bulge flattens the ventral thecal sac resulting in mild-to-moderate canal stenosis with moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. C5-C6: A posterior disc bulge results in moderate canal stenosis with mild right and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. C6-C7: A posterior disc bulge indents the ventral thecal sac resulting in moderate canal stenosis with uncovertebral joint hypertrophy resulting in mild right and mild-to-moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. C7-T1: There is a minimal disc bulge at this level with no significant canal stenosis and with mild left neural foraminal narrowing. Small bilateral perineural cysts are seen. THORACIC SPINE: There is a severe compression fracture involving the T7 vertebral body with mild increased STIR signal, which may reflect a subacute fracture. No significant bony retrolisthesis or retropulsion is seen at this level. The remainder of the thoracic vertebral bodies demonstrate normal height. The sagittal spinal alignment is grossly maintained. There is no suspicious bone marrow signal identified. A mild posterior disc bulge is seen at T7-T8 which indents the ventral thecal sac resulting in mild canal stenosis. Otherwise, no significant spondylosis is seen within the thoracic spine. LUMBAR: There is an acute appearing fracture with severe compression of the L1 vertebral body, with approximately 4 mm of bony retropulsion of the largest fracture fragment. This results in mild thecal sac indentation and canal stenosis at this level, with patent neural foramina bilaterally. Otherwise, the remainder of the lumbar vertebral bodies demonstrate normal height and alignment. There is no concerning focal bone marrow signal abnormality. The conus medullaris terminates at the level of L1. There is a small posterior disc bulge at L5-S1 with no canal stenosis and mild left neural foraminal narrowing. Of note, the disc bulge at this level minimally contacts the exiting left L5 nerve root. A left-sided perineural cyst is also noted at this level. Otherwise, minimal posterior disc bulging at L2-3, L3-4, L4-5 are seen without significant canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. There is no evidence for abnormal intramedullary or epidural enhancement. There is fatty atrophy of the bilateral paraspinal musculature. Otherwise, the visualized paraspinal soft tissues are grossly unremarkable in appearance. IMPRESSION: 1. Severe compression fracture of the T7 vertebral body, likely subacute and without significant retropulsion. 2. Acute appearing, severe compression fracture of L1 with mild bony retropulsion causing mild canal stenosis. No evidence for epidural collection, hematoma, or abnormal enhancement. 3.

Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during any key components of the procedure where applicable and reviewed and agrees with the findings as reported below. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 100mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 20 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: 1 g of Ancef CONTRAST: None FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 0.06 minutes, 2.4 mGy PROCEDURE 1. Right internal jugular approach chest double lumen Port-a-cath placement PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire was then passed distally into the IVC. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 2.5 cm transverse incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt dissection. The double lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found. The port was then placed in the subcutaneous pocket and secured with ___ prolene sutures on either side. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed over the ___ wire through which the port was threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled away. The subcutaneous pocket was closed in layers with ___ interrupted and ___ subcuticular continuous Vicryl sutures. Steri-strips were used to close the venotomy incision site. Steri-Strips were applied over the sutures. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The port was accessed using a non coring ___ needle and could be aspirated and flushed easily. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complication. The port was left accessed as requested. FINDINGS: Patent right internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing port with catheter tip terminating in the right atrium. IMPRESSION: Successful placement of a double lumen chest power Port-a-cath via the right internal jugular venous approach. The tip of the catheter terminates in the right atrium.

Undisplaced ___ fracture Frontal bone fracture Discharge Condition: Mental Status: Clear and coherent. Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man status post fall, landing on head, presenting with neck pain, dizziness, persistent cervical pain; evaluate for bleed. TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the head without intravenous contrast. Images were reconstructed using bone and soft tissue kernels and displayed in multiple planes. FINDINGS: There is a non-displaced fracture through the midline of the frontal bone (3:36-41). The fracture extends into both frontal air cells, where there are slight cortical step-offs (3:22); there is also involvement of the right paramedian "inner table" of the left frontal air cell, though there is no pneumocephalus at this site or elsewhere. There is blood and air filling the frontal sinuses and extending into the left anterior ethmoid air cells. There is hyperdense fluid layering and air-fluid levels in both maxillary air cells as well as air mixed in the right. The density suggests that this is blood. No orbital or other fracture is identified as the lead point. Hyperdense fluid also layers mixed with air in both sphenoid sinuses. There is no large subgaleal or other superficial hematoma. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial process. 2. Non-displaced midline frontal bone fracture with blood in the frontal, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. A maxillofacial CT has been suggested for further evaluation of these and any additional facial fractures. NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: There is no intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage or evidence of cerebral edema. No pneumocephalus is seen. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man status post fall from ___ steps, landing on head, now with persistent neck pain. FINDINGS: A type II dens fracture is displaced anteriorly, approximately 4 mm. There is ___ burst-type fracture of C1. There are fractures of the anterior arch and bilateral posterior arches of C1 (2:15). The remainder of the cervical spine is well aligned. There are no additional cervical spine fractures. Degenerative changes are mild to moderate. There is severe loss of disc height at C4-C5 accompanied by left-sided facet fusion at this level. Mild multilevel posterior disc osteophyte complexes do not cause more than mild spinal canal narrowing at any level. There is mild prevertebral soft tissue swelling at the C1 level. Otherwise, there is no pre- or para-vertebral soft tissue swelling. The airway is patent. The visualized lung apices are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Displaced type II fracture of the odontoid process, with 4 mm anterior displacement of the distal dens fragment, but no spinal canal compromise. 2. ___ burst fractures of the anterior and posterior neural arches of C1, again without canal compromise. 3. Multilevel degenerative disease with foraminal but no "critical" canal stenosis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ man status post 3-feet fall from platform, presenting with headache, facial pain, neck pain. COMPARISONS: Head and C-spine CT earlier same day demonstrating a midline frontal fracture and extensive sinus opacification. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT data were acquired through the frontal sinuses. Images were reconstructed using bone and soft tissue kernels. Images were displayed in multiple planes. FINDINGS: A non-displaced midline fracture through the frontal bone to the frontal sinus is re-demonstrated. There is hyperdense blood and air in the frontal sinus and anterior left ethmoid air cells. Additional hyperdense fluid and air with air-fluid levels are seen in the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. A ___ burst fracture of C1 is seen at the lower edge of the field of view but better visualized on preceding C-spine CT. Osteomeatal units are patent bilaterally. The cribriform plates and lamina papyracea are intact. IMPRESSION: Re-demonstration of non-displaced midline frontal bone fracture and C1 ___ burst fracture. No additional fractures. Extensive fluid and air in the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses may represent the sequela of acute sinusitis or additional blood. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH performed on ___. ___.

COMPARISON: None available FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute cortical infarction,definite evidence of hemorrhage,edema,or mass. There is small chronic left cerebellar infarct. There is probably benign prevascular space in the inferior left basal ganglia, less likely chronic lacunar infarct. There are moderate to severe chronic small vessel ischemic changes, which decreased sensitivity in detecting deep white matter subacute infarcts. There is advanced generalized brain parenchymal atrophy. There are 2 linear foci involving anterior bilateral frontal lobes seen on same image series 2 image 12, 1 on each side, which likely represent an artifact, foci of cortical laminar necrosis related to subacute to chronic infarcts or small focus of parenchymal hemorrhages very unlikely. There is no adjacent brain edema or gyral expansion to suggest underlying process. There is no evidence of fracture. There is near complete opacification of the left frontal sinus, with chronic osteitis, consistent with mild acute on chronic inflammation. There is chronic osteitis and partial opacification of the visualized very top of left maxillary sinus. Otherwise, the visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: There is no definite evidence of subacute infarcts, although, underlying moderate to severe chronic small vessel ischemic changes decreased sensitivity of this exam in detecting deep white matter subacute infarcts. There is generalized brain parenchymal atrophy. 2 subtle foci of abnormality in the anterior frontal lobes are likely an artifact. Paranasal sinus disease, as above.
