Unmasking a Hidden Cause of Persistent Facial Ulceration: The Relevancy of a Neurologic Examination
A 49-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department of a tertiary medical center for evaluation of chronic facial ulceration. Her past medical history was significant for type II diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, venous thromboembolism, and stroke. The patient noted progressive ulceration around the left nasal ala with extension to the left eyebrow and eyelid for 2 years. She had been evaluated for this problem numerous times at outside medical facilities.

A 49-year-old woman presented to the emergency room of a tertiary medical center for evaluation of chronic facial ulceration. Her past medical history was significant for type II diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, venous thromboembolism, and stroke. The patient noted progressive ulceration around the left nasal ala with extension to the left eyebrow and eyelid for 2 years. She had been evaluated for this problem numerous times at outside medical facilities. Previous treatments included three 6-week courses of intravenous vancomycin, one 6-week course of daptomycin, and one 2-week course of oral acyclovir.

North American Thrombosis Forum, AF Action Initiative Consensus Document
The North American Thrombosis Forum Atrial Fibrillation Action Initiative consensus document is a comprehensive yet practical briefing document focusing on stroke and bleeding risk assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation, as well as recommendations regarding anticoagulation options and management. Despite the breadth of clinical trial data and guideline recommendation updates, many clinicians continue to struggle to synthesize the disparate information available. This problem slows the uptake and utilization of updated risk prediction tools and adoption of new oral anticoagulants.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest From Heat Stroke: Hidden Dangers of Hot Yoga
A healthy 35-year-old woman, 12 weeks postpartum, was in her hot yoga class when she suddenly became unresponsive. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was started on the patient promptly. Emergency Medical Services arrived 5 minutes into initiation of CPR. Examination revealed warm skin, dilated pupils, and frank blood foaming from her mouth. Rhythm was consistent with ventricular fibrillation. Forty-five minutes of CPR was performed prior to return of spontaneous circulation, after which the patient was placed on vasopressor support.

A healthy 35-year-old female, 12 weeks post-partum, was in her hot yoga class when she suddenly became unresponsive. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was started on the patient promptly.

Rhythm was consistent with ventricular fibrillation. 45 minutes of CPR was performed before return of spontaneous circulation, after which patient was placed on vasopressor support.

Major Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with One Risk Factor: Impact of Time in Therapeutic Range Observations from the SPORTIF Trials
The benefits and harms of oral anticoagulation therapy in patients with only one stroke risk factor (ie, CHA2DS2-VASc  = 1 in males, or 2 in females) has been a subject of debate.

Usefulness of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in the prediction of new-onset atrial fibrillation: a population-based study
CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc are validated scores used to predict stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Many of the individual risk factors included in these scores are also risk factors for atrial fibrillation. We aimed to examine the performance of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in predicting new-onset atrial fibrillation in subjects without preexisting diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.

Migrating susceptibility vessel sign in posterior circulation stroke
A 95-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation was admitted with acute onset of disturbed consciousness. On admission, neurological deficits rapidly improved and completely disappeared. The prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) was 1.4 although she was medicated with warfarin (2.5 mg/day). Brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) findings on admission were normal, but MR angiography (MRA) detected basilar-top occlusion and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) confirmed the susceptibility vessel sign at the basilar top (Fig.
