Hemoconcentration and Pre-eclampsia

We measured erythrocyte aggregation and hematocrit in 155 uncomplicated pregnancies and in 55 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. In the later group we found increased erythrocyte aggregation and a higher hematocrit than in normal patients of comparable gestational age

A Case of Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis Presenting With Signs and Sympto…

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is primarily a disorder of childhood, which is characterized by hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia, and diffuse parenchymal infiltrates on chest x-ray secondary to recurrent attacks of alveolar hemorrhage. It can be diagnosed by showing hemosiderin laden macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after other specific causes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhag…

Epilepsy caused by superficial hemosiderosis of the central nervous system

Superficial hemosiderosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is an uncommon and often unrecognized disorder caused by small repeated hemorrhages into the subarachnoid space, resulting in CNS hemosiderin deposition in the subpial layers. The etiology is reported to be idiopathic in 35% of cases, CNS tumor in 15%, trauma in 13%, and arteriovenous malformation in 9% of cases. It

The spectrum of kidney biopsy findings in patients with morbid obesity

Morbid obesity, defined as bodymass index (BMI) ‡40 kg/m2, affects approximately 8% of United States adults and is a recognized risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We present the first focused biopsy-based study exploring the range of kidney diseases in this population. Among 3263 native kidney biopsies interpreted at Columbia University in 2017, we identified 248 biopsies from m…

Better with Ultrasound: Subclavian Central Venous Catheter Insertion

The Q2 insertion of a subclavian central venous catheter is generally associated with a high rate of success and a favorable risk profile. The use of ultrasound for procedural guidance has been demonstrated to further increase the rate of success and reduce the risk of specific mechanical complications, especially in patients with difficult surface anatomy

Dapagliflozin and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes

The cardiovascular safety profile of dapagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of sodium– glucose cotransporter 2 that promotes glucosuria in patients with type 2 diabetes, is undefined.

Community-Acquired Thoracic Empyema in Young Adults

To evaluate the clinical characteristics, bacteriology, and therapeutic outcomes of community-acquired thoracic empyema (CATE) in young adults.

Quantification of Complications of Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheters

Tunneled central venous catheters (CVCs) are widely regarded as a suboptimal form of vascular access for hemodialysis (HD), when compared with arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) or grafts (AVGs).

2017 ACC/AHA/HFSA Focused Update of the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Manag…

Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines (guidelines) with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health. These guidelines, which are based on systematic methods to evaluate and classify evidence, provide a cornerstone for quality cardiovascular care.
