    Abstract Introduction: Idiopathic spontaneous hemothorax has been rarely described in the literature.
    Case study: A case of status asthmaticus and spontaneous hemothorax is described in a 29-year-old female of African descent who presented to the emergency room after 2 days of severe cough productive of yellow sputum, otalgia, sore throat, subjective fevers, chills, headache, progressive wheezing, chest tightness and dyspnea. She had a history of 7 years of asthma and was non-adherent with her controller asthma medications. Prophylactic subcutaneous administration of enoxaparin 40 milligrams was initiated upon hospitalization. The patient initially had a normal chest radiograph but subsequently developed a large, left hemothorax that required tube thoracostomy placement followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
    Results: The patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and tube thoracostomy resulted in evacuation of 1,400 milliliters of blood-like fluid, which had a pleural fluid hematocrit greater than 50% of the serum hematocrit. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest did not reveal any source for the bleeding and a technetium bone scan of the chest was normal. The patient required transfusion of 5 units of packed red blood cells. She was then taken to the operating room for VATS because of continued chest tube drainage (3,200 milliliters of fluid over a 48-hour period).
    Conclusion: The etiology of the hemothorax was unknown despite surgical exploration but was felt to be secondary to cough and bronchospasm associated with status asthmaticus.

    Abstract Wet cough, wheeze, and sputum in an adolescent with evidence for bronchiectasis is an uncommon presentation. The differential diagnosis includes cystic fibrosis (CF), immunodeficiency disorders, complement deficiency, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin disease, repeated aspiration pneumonia, foreign body, bronchial carcinoid, unresolved right middle lobe pneumonia, and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). The likely diagnosis proceeds from the more to less common in patients with these symptoms. The location of disease on computed tomography scanning, nasal and bronchial exhaled nitric oxide, identification of ultrastructural defects on electron microscopy, and specific genetic mutation help separate CF and PCD. Although differentiating these conditions is vital, the chronic management of the bronchiectasis usually includes clearance mechanisms, bronchodilators, regular exercise, appropriate vaccinations, and judicious antibiotics for airway infections.

    Abstract Study objectives: The objective of this study was to compare obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), demographic, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) characteristics across the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and Centers for Medicare and Medicare (CMS) scoring rules in moderate to severe TBI undergoing inpatient neurorehabilitation.
    Methods: This is a secondary analysis from a prospective clinical trial of sleep apnea at 6 TBI Model System study sites (n = 248). Scoring was completed by a centralized center using both the AASM and CMS criteria for OSA. Hospitalization and injury characteristics were abstracted from the medical record, and demographics were obtained by interview by trained research assistants using TBI Model System standard procedures.
    Results: OSA was prevalent using the AASM (66%) and CMS (41.5%) criteria with moderate to strong agreement (weighted κ = 0.64; 95% confidence interval = 0.58-0.70). Significant differences were observed for participants meeting AASM and CMS criteria (concordant group) compared with those meeting criteria for AASM but not CMS (discordant group). At an apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 events/h, the discordant group (n = 61) had lower Emergency Department Glasgow Coma Scale Scores consistent with greater injury severity (median, 5 vs 13; P = .0050), younger age (median, 38 vs 58; P < .0001), and lower body mass index (median, 22.1 vs 24.8; P = .0007) compared with the concordant group (n = 103). At an apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h, female sex but no other differences were noted, possibly because of the smaller sample size.
    Conclusions: The underestimation of sleep apnea using CMS criteria is consistent with prior literature; however, this is the first study to report the impact of the criteria in persons with moderate to severe TBI during a critical stage of neural recovery. Management of comorbidities in TBI has become an increasing focus for optimizing TBI outcomes. Given the chronic morbidity after moderate to severe TBI, the impact of CMS policy for OSA diagnosis for persons with chronic disability and young age are considerable.

    Abstract Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is of unknown etiology and is the most common cause of retinopathy after age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. Vision loss results from fluid leakage and serous detachment in the macula. Five percent of patients develop chronic CSCR. It is predominantly found in middle-aged men (age-adjusted rates per 100,000: 9.9 for men and 1.7 for women) and is usually unilateral and reversible. Three-quarters of CSCR patients resolve within 3 months but 45% have recurrences, usually with only minor visual acuity changes. Risk factors include type A personality, emotional stress, elevated catecholamines, hypertension, pregnancy, organ transplantation, increased levels of endogenous cortisol, psychopharmacologic medication, use of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, obstructive sleep apnea, Helicobacter pylori infection, or treatment with corticosteroids. Five percent of patients develop chronic disease as a result of subretinal fibrin formation within the blister. CSCR is often bilateral, multifocal, and recurrent, and may be associated with subretinal fibrin formation within the blister. Permanent loss of vision may result from subretinal fibrin-fibrosis with scarring of the macula. Corticosteroid-associated CSCR occurs bilaterally in 20% of patients. Steroid-associated therapy may begin days to years after therapy with any form of drug delivery. We present three atopic patients who presented at various times after oral, inhaled, intranasal, and topical corticosteroid therapy. One patient developed CSCR after three separate types of administration of corticosteroids, which, to our knowledge, has not been observed in the literature.

    Abstract Asthma is often triggered by allergic and nonallergic factors in atopic individuals and readily responds to anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator therapy. The differential diagnosis for poorly responsive disease includes severe persistent asthma with associated allergic rhinitis, cardiac disorders such as left ventricular failure or mitral stenosis, vocal cord dysfunction, gastroesophageal reflux disease, recurrent aspiration, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, bronchiectasis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, airway neoplasm, and Churg-Strauss vasculitis. A careful history and physical in conjunction with appropriate screening of laboratory information will usually direct the clinician to the correct diagnosis.
