Description
An account of the resource
A 32-year-old female with a past medical history of constipation (predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)) presented with a complaint of pain in the lower abdomen. She lost 20 pounds in three months with a current body mass index (BMI) of 19.5 kg/m2 (ref: normal level 18.5-24.9). Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen with contrast showed very little intra-abdominal fat, enlarged proximal duodenum, and decreased aorto-mesenteric angle of 15.4 0 suggestive of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome. Per general surgery, the patient was managed conservatively: initially Nil Per Os (NPO), slowly transitioned to a clear liquid diet, soft diet, and solid diet. She tolerated the diet, improved clinically, and was discharged home. (Copyright © 2020, Tharu et al.)

Description
An account of the resource
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been described as a risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias. Its association with atrial fibrillation has been established. However, relationships with other arrhythmias and conduction disorders have not been fully studied. Methods We used the National Inpatient Sample database from 2009 to 2011 to explore the relationship between OSA and arrhythmias and conduction disorders. The presence of diagnosis was determined based on the International Classification of Disease-9 (ICD-9) codes. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to establish mortality risks among all groups. Results Multivariate logistic regression showed increased mortality in patients with OSA in comparison to patients without OSA and patients across all categories of arrhythmias and conduction disorders. One significant finding was the increased association of cardiac arrest in patients with OSA versus patients without OSA (OR: 95.72; CI: 89.13-105.81, p < 0.001). Conclusions OSA is significantly associated with non-atrial fibrillation arrhythmias, conduction disorders, and sudden cardiac arrest. Awareness regarding this association is important for early screening for OSA in obese patients to prevent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) might be beneficial against all kinds of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. (Copyright © 2020, Acharya et al.)

Description
An account of the resource
Fusobacterium species is known for being a causative agent for Lemierre's syndrome, which is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the jugular vein. However, Fusobacterium species causing Lemierre's variant gastrointestinal syndrome has only been reported in case reports. We present a case of Fusobacterium causing hepatic vein pylephlebitis, multiple brain abscesses, and hepatic abscess. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been four other case reports of Fusobacterium causing hepatic abscesses with associated septic pylephlebitis in the literature.

Description
An account of the resource
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that tetanus infection in a fully immunized person with the last dose within 10 years is extremely rare. The prevalence of localized tetanus in such a scenario is unknown. Only two case reports of localized tetanus in previously immunized patients have been reported so far, making this the third one. Also, this is the first case of its kind to demonstrate evolving localized tetanus. Our patient is a 19-year-old man who presented with shortness of breath, pain in right upper extremity, shoulder, and neck. His chest X-ray and creatine kinase were normal. The patient was sent home. He presented again to our hospital two days later with difficulty swallowing and speaking as well as chest tightness. Routine blood tests, electrocardiogram, CT angiography of the chest, and transthoracic echocardiogram were normal. He gave a history of a cut in the right middle finger while removing the carpet a week before his presentation. His immunization history was complete with documented last tetanus shot nine years and two months ago. He was treated with tetanus vaccine and penicillin. His tetanus antitoxoid titer came out protective.
