Mashup Score: 0
Historically, research on pulmonary embolism (PE) management has focused on short-term outcomes, such as acute cardiovascular collapse, change in right ventricular function, and in-hospital mortality. However, long-standing functional impairments from acute PE occur in up to half of all patients. This chronic syndrome has been termed the post-PE syndrome, which describes patients who have persistent or worsening symptoms, functional limitations, and cardiorespiratory impairment not explained by a comorbid condition.

Mashup Score: 0Ischemic Monomelic Neuropathy After Dialysis Access Creation Requiring Emergent Fistula Ligation - 8 hour(s) ago
Ischemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation.1 The exact pathophysiologic mechanism and incidence of IMN are incompletely understood, but it can be considered a type of steal syndrome in which blood flow is shunted away from the hand because of the new AVF’s resulting in ischemic neuropathy of the hand.1,2 This is manifested as pain and sensorimotor deficits distal to the AVF in a hand that appears otherwise well perfused.

Mashup Score: 1Lutetium 177 Radionuclide Therapy–Induced Proliferative Arrest in a Metastatic High-Grade Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumor - 2 day(s) ago
An adult man with low-volume liver metastases from grade 3 rectal neuroendocrine tumor (Ki67 index of 25%) sequentially underwent multiple systemic therapies. Gallium (88Ga)-DOTATATE scan showed avid metastases, including a scalp deposit (Figure A, B). He received lutetium (177Lu)-DOTATATE, 200 mCi times 3 cycles. The scalp metastasis was excised 8 days after cycle 3 of 177Lu therapy. Histopathologic evaluation was consistent with a metastasis of his neuroendocrine tumor (Figure C). The tumor showed proliferative arrest, with no tumor cell showing reactivity for Ki67 (Figure D), whereas the nontumorous controls showed variable reactivity.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a silo as “an isolated grouping, department, etc, that functions apart from others especially in a way seen as hindering communication and cooperation.”1 Unfortunately, this definition continues to categorize how, in larger part, the US health care system functions and scientific inquiry is conducted and its findings presented. This is, of course, suboptimal given the complex interrelationships with a myriad of health conditions and associated risk factors.

Mashup Score: 0Top 10 Tips for Using Statins in Clinical Practice - 2 day(s) ago
Statins are the mainstay of cholesterol treatment to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, significant barriers, including physician and patient factors, prevent the optimal use of this drug class. In this article, we provide 10 clear and simple tips for clinicians when prescribing statins. The tips are based on the current guidelines, an extensive review of the literature, and decades of clinical practice of the senior author. Within the tips, we discuss key components of the guidelines, assessing cardiovascular risk profiles, evaluating drug-drug interactions, addressing adverse effects, and developing treatment plans that include statins and nonstatins.
