Synthetic Cannabinoids (SCB) are engineered chemical compounds that share a similar chemical structure with the active ingredient of marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocanabinol. Although the FDA has not approved the use of SCB without a prescription from a licensed health-care provider, the cost effectiveness and availability of SCB has made it a popular choice among recreational drug users. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/lmk-235.html of SCB as a street drug is not regulated. These SCB are highly potent chemicals that cause various severe toxicities. In this case report, we describe an adult who suffered from PRES after consuming K2, a synthetic cannabinoid.Myocardial infarction (MI) is an unusual but potentially serious complication of catheter ablation procedures. This case describes the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction following low-power ablation in a young patient and highlights the importance of maintaining high index of suspicion following catheter ablation irrespective of the ablation power used. A 22-year-old patient had low-power ablation of the right posteroseptal accessory pathway in the ostium of the coronary sinus on account of persistently symptomatic WPW syndrome with orthodromic re-entrant tachycardia. Two hours after the procedure, she developed moderately severe chest pain. Electrocardiogram showed ST elevation in the inferior leads. Coronary angiography showed 100% stenosis of the right coronary artery just beyond the posterior descending artery. She failed balloon angioplasty and a drug eluting stent was placed in the posterolateral branch of the right coronary artery. The symptoms resolved and follow up echocardiogram showed normal left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions with no regional wall motion abnormality. This case demonstrates the occurrence of MI following low-power catheter ablation. Patients should be monitored for this complication irrespective of the ablation power used.Characterized by bone marrow dysplasia and peripheral blood monocytosis, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is one of the most aggressive chronic leukemias and has a propensity for progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with newly diagnosed AML generally present with symptoms related to complications of pancytopenia but can also present with renal insufficiency. We present a 79-year-old male with a past medical history of CMML and chronic kidney disease stage 3 (baseline creatinine 1.8 mg/dL) who presented with one day of inability to urinate and 20-lb unintentional weight loss, fatigue, and bone pain over 3 months. Laboratory evaluation revealed leukocytosis of 88.5 x 103/uL (normal 4.8-10.8 x 103/uL) with 24.0% monocytes on differential, creatinine 2.94 mg/dL (baseline creatinine 1.7-1.9 mg/dL), uric acid 19.8 mg/dL, potassium 4.0 mmol/L, phosphorus 4.0 mg/dL, calcium 9.2 mg/dL, and albumin 3.2 g/dL. Urinalysis was significant for protein 200 mg/dL, 20/LPF granular casts, and 7/LPF hyaline casts. #link# Bone marrow biopsy revealed 20-30% blasts with monocytic features of differentiation consistent with acute myeloid leukemia. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis appreciated splenomegaly with retroperitoneal, and pelvic lymphadenopathy. Kidney failure can complicate the presentation of AML but can be rapidly reversible with treatment. In patients with CMML who have progressive renal insufficiency and hyperuricemia, there should be a high index of suspicion for progression to AML.Epididymo-orchitis (EO) is inflammation of the epididymis and testicles. In patients older than thirty-five years, it is commonly due to coliform or uropathogenic organisms, whereas younger adults are prone to sexually transmitted infections. We present a relatively infrequent case of gonococcal EO in an octogenarian. This case describes a geriatric male who presented to the emergency department in septic shock. His history was notable for prostate cancer, urinary incontinence and multiple sexual partners. He endorsed perineal pain, localized tenderness with chills and dysuria, and was eventually diagnosed with bilateral EO and hydroceles on repeat ultrasound. PCR was positive for N. gonorrhea. His symptoms responded well to fluid resuscitation and antimicrobial therapy. This case demonstrates that EO secondary to sexually transmitted infections is an important consideration in even the oldest old. It is therefore imperative to obtain a detailed sexual history and identify high-risk sexual behaviors in this population.Radiofrequency ablation is one of the alternative treatment strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation. With the increasing number of such ablation procedures being performed it is important for the physicians to be aware of the associated complications. We present a very rare case of severe triple coronary vessel spasm during radiofrequency catheter ablation. The procedure was complicated by cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation and cardiogenic shock requiring subsequent management with a temporary mechanical circulatory support device. Multi-vessel spasm is a rare and life-threatening complication leading to ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. One should be extra vigilant in monitoring patients during extensive ablations and the procedure should be terminated at the earliest signs of ischemia in order to prevent this rare but fatal complication.Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal dilatation of the coronary arteries. We present a case of a 77-year-old gentleman who presented with atypical chest pain and was found to have elevated cardiac enzymes. He underwent diagnostic left heart catheterization which revealed left main CAA and significant left circumflex stenosis. The patient was administered medical therapy and was discharged home in a stable condition. The purpose of this report is to highlight a rare case of a large CAA which was successfully managed conservatively.Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) includes pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). The device infection is classified into pocket and systemic infection. We present a case of candida fungemia secondary to dissemination from the fungal ball found on an ICD. Patient was successfully managed with IV fluconazole, ICD explantation and reimplantation. The purpose of this report is to highlight rare complications of ICD implantation and guide its clinical course and management.
