    Abstract Diaphragm plication is a surgical treatment of unilateral diaphragm paralysis, in which the affected diaphragm is sutured in place. Because the right diaphragm sits on top of the liver, right-sided diaphragm plication can injure the liver and lead to hepatic compartment syndrome resulting in acute liver injury. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman with a history of multilevel disk degeneration and alcohol use disorder who underwent right-sided diaphragm plication. After surgery, she complained of abdominal pain and was found to have severely elevated liver-associated enzymes and evidence of acute liver injury, which resolved with supportive care.

    Abstract Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a dependent virus that relies on hepatitis B virus for its replication and transmission. Chronic hepatitis D is a severe form of viral hepatitis that can result in end stage liver disease. Currently, pegylated interferon alpha is the only approved therapy for chronic HDV infection and is associated with significant side effects. Liver transplantation (LT) is the only treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, or fulminant hepatitis due to coinfection with HDV. As LT for HDV and hepatitis B virus coinfection is uncommon in the United States, most data on the long-term impact of LT on HDV are from international centers. In this review, we discuss the indications and results of LT with treatment options in HDV patients.

    Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is mostly subclinical and resolves spontaneously without complications. Gastroenterology involvement usually manifests as asymptomatic liver enzymes elevation. We report a new case of acute pancreatitis complicating EBV infection and review the literature. EBV-associated acute pancreatitis is rare, usually develops in the setting of clinically clear EBV infection, occurs mostly in children and young adults, has mild-to-moderate severity, and has excellent prognosis with conservative management. It should be suspected when patients with an EBV infection picture develop unexplained abdominal pain.

    Abstract The combination of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir was recently approved for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with recommended treatment duration of 8-12 weeks depending on previous treatments, viral genotype and cirrhosis status. Although liver injury was reported with other protease inhibitors in the presence of cirrhosis or hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir treatment is not known to cause liver injury. We report a patient with chronic HCV infection who despite the absence of cirrhosis and HBV co-infection developed acute liver injury that completely resolved after glecaprevir/pibrentasvir withdrawal. Interestingly, sustained HCV virologic response was achieved after only 3 weeks of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir treatment.

    Abstract Liver transplantation (LT) for patients with hepatitis D virus (HDV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection is uncommon in the United States. Previous case reports described poor outcomes when hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive grafts are transplanted in HBV/HDV-coinfected recipients. However, LT from an HBsAg-negative/HBV-deoxyribonucleic acid-positive donor in an HBV/HDV-coinfected recipient has not been reported. We describe the clinical course and management of an HBV/HDV-coinfected recipient who had LT from an HBsAg-negative/HBV-deoxyribonucleic acid-positive deceased donor and was treated with high-dose hepatitis B immune globulin in combination with an oral tenofovir alafenamide.

    Abstract There is increasing evidence that a low vitamin D status may be an important and hitherto neglected factor of cardiovascular disease. This review is an overview of the current body of literature, and presents evidence of the mechanisms through which vitamin D deficiency affects the cardiovascular system in general and the heart in particular. Available data indicate that the majority of congestive heart failure patients have 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency. Furthermore, the low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level has a higher impact on hypertension, coronary artery disease an on the occurrence of relevant cardiac events. A serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level below 75 nmol/l (30 ng/l) is generally regarded as vitamin D insufficiency in both adults and children, while a level below 50 nmol/l (20 ng/l) is considered deficiency. Levels below 50 nmol/l (20 ng/l) are linked independently to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

  10. Article: Using The Descending Aortic Wall Thickness Measured In Transesophageal Echocardiography As A Risk Marker For Aortic Dissection.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate whether aortic wall thickness is increased in patients with Aortic dissection (AD) compared to low risk control group and can be used in addition to aortic diameter as a risk marker of AD.
    Background: AD occurs due to pathologies that may increase thickness of the aortic wall. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has the ability to visualize both the thoracic aortic wall and lumen. Aortic diameter has been used to predict aortic dissection and timing of surgery, but it is not always predictive of that risk.
    Methods: In 48 patients with AD who underwent TEE were examined retrospectively and compared to 48 control patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO). We measured aortic diameter at different levels, intimal/medial thickness (IMT) and complete wall thickness (CMT). Demographic data and cardiovascular risk factors were reviewed. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and student t test.
    Results: (AD) patients were older [mean age 66 AD vs. 51 PFO], had more hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and Coronary artery disease. Both IMT and CMT in the descending aorta were increased in AD group [(1.85 vs. 1.43 mm; P=0.03 and 2.93 vs. 2.46 mm; p=0.01). As expected the diameter of ascending aorta was also greater in AD (4.61 vs. 2.92 cm; P=0.004).
    Conclusions: CMT and IMT in the descending aorta detected by TEE is greater in patients with AD when compared to control and may add prognostic data to that of aortic diameter.
