    Abstract Pericardial effusion is a common cardiac condition that can be lethal if left untreated. Patients who have pericardial effusion often present with dyspnea, chest discomfort, chest tightness, and cough. Cardiac arrhythmia as an initial presentation of pericardial effusion is not common. While the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with pericardial effusion is atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter as a presenting symptom of malignant pericardial effusion has been described rarely. Herein, we present the case of an elderly man who had developed atrial flutter due to malignant cardiac effusion, which subsequently led to the diagnosis of lung cancer. Clinicians should broaden the differential diagnosis of patients who present with atrial flutter. Also, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may help determine the etiology of a new-onset atrial flutter.

    Abstract The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is challenging particularly when patients present with vague and/or non-specific symptoms and signs. Misdiagnosis of pulmonary embolism can lead to death or severe morbidity. We reported a case of a 60-year-old woman presented with recurrent syncope who later was diagnosed as submassive pulmonary embolism. This case report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism to prevent life-threatening sequels. Pulmonary embolism should be considered as a differential diagnosis of patients presenting at an emergency department with syncope.

    Abstract An emerging viral infection is a global public health challenge. The development of modern, fast, and extensive transportation makes the outbreak hard to contain. Everyone is at risk, and the outbreak can rapidly turn into a pandemic crisis, like what we are currently facing for the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Prompt diagnosis of the case is required to improve patients' prognosis and control of the outbreak. The common manifestations of COVID-19 include fever, cough, dyspnea, and malaise. However, patients may present with atypical symptoms that pose a diagnostic challenge. We report the first case of an elderly male who presented with rhabdomyolysis and later was diagnosed with COVID-19. Clinicians should be aware that rhabdomyolysis can be an initial presentation of COVID-19 or can occur at any time during the disease course. Patients with rhabdomyolysis should receive aggressive fluid administration to prevent acute kidney injury (AKI). However, COVID-19 patients are at risk of worsening oxygenation and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from fluid overload. Therefore, cautious fluid administration is needed in COVID-19 patients with rhabdomyolysis.

    Abstract Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is the most common cause of in-patient hospitalizations during the first half of pregnancy. The etiology of HG has not yet been elucidated, and the treatment is mainly symptomatic. Untreated severe HG can lead to catastrophic maternal complications such as cardiac arrhythmia and death. In contrast, the impact of untreated severe HG on the fetuses remains contradictory. Evidence suggested that HG may increase the risk of a small for gestational age (GA) fetus. We here report a case of 32-year-old nulliparous woman, GA of 14 weeks, who presented with worsening HG and later had a diagnosis of missed abortion. More research is needed to clarify the possibility of HG as a contributory cause of abortion.

    Abstract Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is one of the most common causes of respiratory failure in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, for which the mortality rate is approximately 10%. Spontaneous pneumothorax as a presentation of PJP has been reported with rising frequency, but tension pneumothorax as a presentation of PJP is rare. We reported a case of a middle-aged male with HIV infection who presented to our hospital with acute worsening shortness of breath and was later diagnosed with tension pneumothorax due to PJP. Physicians should suspect pneumothorax in patients with a clinical presentation of PJP who show rapid progressive respiratory deterioration.

    Abstract Perforation of a gastrointestinal tract as a complication of intubation is unusual, and only few cases have been reported. Prompt recognition and management of gastrointestinal tract perforation are needed to limit the morbidity and mortality of this condition. We presented a case of an acutely ill patient who developed gastric perforation following difficult intubation to remind clinicians of a life-threatening complication that can develop following a life-saving procedure.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-protein coding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) that play a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. Change in miRNA expression has been identified in various diseases, including psoriasis. Our narrative review provides an updated overview of current research on miRNA125b and its role in psoriasis pathogenesis. We used the keywords "psoriasis, "microRNA," "miRNA," "miR," and "stRNA" to identify and select studies in PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases from inception to March 2018. The references cited by the retrieved literature were reviewed to broaden our search results. miRNA125b downregulation leads to aberrant proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, which is a primary pathology found in psoriasis. Understanding the epigenetic alteration of miRNA125b expression and its underlying molecular mechanisms will help in identifying pathogenesis, diagnosis, and possibly curative treatment of psoriasis in the future.

    Abstract Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have elevated risks of developing stroke, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. However, the impact of AF on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is uncertain. Our review objective is to investigate whether AF increases the risk of developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with CKD. On 31 January 2019, a systemic search was performed on the MEDLINE database using the predefined search criteria. Limits included human participants and English-language publications. Studies that evaluated an association of AF and the risk of CKD progression to ESRD were selected. A total of 751 articles were identified. One prospective cohort study was included after screening abstracts from overall retrieved studies based on our inclusion/exclusion criteria, with a total of 3,091 CKD patients and a mean follow-up of 5.9 years. A total of 172 CKD patients developed AF, of which 43 patients later developed ESRD. Of 2,919 CKD patients with no incident AF, 581 patients progressed to ESRD. The rate of ESRD after the development of AF was 11.8/100 person-years compared with 3.4/100 person-years in CKD patients without AF. In conclusion, AF is an independent risk factor for developing ESRD in CKD patients, but more evidence is needed to support this result.

    Abstract Appendectomy is the gold standard of treatment for acute appendicitis; however, recent evidence suggests conservative management with intravenous antibiotics may provide similar outcomes and can be used as an alternative in selected patients. Performing appendectomy in acute appendicitis patients with 2019 novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is challenging, as it involves considerable operative risks for the patients and risks for health care professionals (HCPs) exposed to COVID-19. Medical management eliminates the morbidity and mortality associated with surgery but involves significant risks of treatment failures that, in turn, may lead to perforation, peritonitis, and death. We are reporting a case of a middle-aged man with multiple co-morbidities, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and acute appendicitis. Our patient received intravenous antibiotics for seven days with a significant improvement in symptoms. Our case report illustrates the implementation of successful conservative treatment for acute appendicitis in COVID-19 patients.
