The impact of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score on cardiac prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure
AbstractLiver abnormalities have a strong impact on clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF), and are known as cardio-hepatic syndrome. The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score (NFS) has been developed to identify liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. It remains to be determined whether NFS is associated with cardiovascular prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We calculated NFS in 516 patients with CHF admitted to our hospital. The clinical endpoints were deaths due to progressive HF, myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden cardiac death, and rehospitalization for wors...

Clinical Reasoning: A 61-year-old man with conjugate gaze deviation, hemiparesis, and asymmetric reflexes
A 61-year-old man with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis was transferred from an outside hospital for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, septic shock, and respiratory failure after intubation. The patient was initially on sedation; however, more than 48 hours after the sedative was discontinued, his mental status remained depressed and he also developed new onset of conjugate rightward gaze deviation. On neurologic examination, the patient was unresponsive to verbal stimuli and sternal rub. He could not follow any command, including closing or opening eyes and squeezing hands. He had remarkable conjugate, forced eye deviati...

Alcohol Consumption and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
AbstractAlcohol consumption may be a modifiable risk factor for rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Our aim is to evaluate the association between ruptured aneurysms and alcohol consumption, intensity, and cessation. The medical records of 4701 patients with 6411 radiographically confirmed intracranial aneurysms diagnosed at the Brigham and Women ’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital between 1990 and 2016 were reviewed. Individuals were divided into cases with ruptured aneurysms and controls with unruptured aneurysms. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the assoc...
