Background: The tumor microenvironment and its interaction with the tumor are indicative of disease progression but has not been clinically applied due to the lack of objective assessment criteria. Proximity associated effects of the tumor to its microenvironment which can explain the long-term behavior of tumor remains to be developed. In this work, we utilized […]

Background: Guidelines recommend in-hospital evaluation with cardiac monitoring and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) to assess syncope in patients that are considered high-risk for major adverse cardiovascular events. We sought to identify variables associated with performing TTE in patients presenting with syncope. Methods: We abstracted demographic and clinical data from all patients evaluated for syncope at the […]

Case Presentation: Type A Lactic acidosis is commonly caused by decreased oxygen delivery and poor peripheral perfusion. Type B lactic acidosis ensues in absence of hypoxia or tissue hypoperfusion, mostly occurring in alcoholism, mitochondrial dysfunction, medications like metformin. We present an unusual case of Type B lactic acidosis induced by nebulized albuterol in the treatment […]

Background: Currently, once-daily nebulized bronchodilator therapy is unavailable for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Prior studies demonstrated that once-daily revefenacin (REV) doses of 88 and 175 µg produced significant bronchodilation in COPD patients. We report the pooled results of two replicate phase 3 efficacy trials. Methods: In these double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12-week trials […]
