    Abstract The multifarious problems created by arsenic (As), for collective environment and human health, serve a cogent case for searching integrative agricultural approaches to attain food security. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) acts as a sponge for heavy metal(loid)s accretion, specifically As, due to anaerobic flooded growth conditions facilitating its uptake. Acclaimed for their positive impact on plant growth, development and phosphorus (P) nutrition, 'mycorrhizas' are able to promote stress tolerance. Albeit, the metabolic alterations underlying Serendipita indica (S. indica; S.i) symbiosis-mediated amelioration of As stress along with nutritional management of P are still understudied. By using biochemical, RT-qPCR and LC-MS/MS based untargeted metabolomics approach, rice roots of ZZY-1 and GD-6 colonized by S. indica, which were later treated with As (10 µM) and P (50 µM), were compared with non-colonized roots under the same treatments with a set of control plants. The responses of secondary metabolism related enzymes, especially polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities in the foliage of ZZY-1 and GD-6 were enhanced 8.5 and 12-fold, respectively, compared to their respective control counterparts. The current study identified 360 cationic and 287 anionic metabolites in rice roots, and the commonly enriched pathway annotated by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis was biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, which validated the results of biochemical and gene expression analyses associated with secondary metabolic enzymes. Particularly under As+S.i+P comparison, both genotypes exhibited an upregulation of key detoxification and defense related metabolites, including fumaric acid, L-malic acid, choline, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, to name a few. The results of this study provided the novel insights into the promising role of exogenous P and S. indica in alleviating As stress.

    Abstract In sepsis both under- and overresuscitation are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Moreover, sepsis can be complicated by myocardial dysfunction, and only half of the critically ill patients exhibit preload responsiveness. It is of paramount importance to accurately, safely, and rapidly determine and optimize preload during resuscitation. Traditional methods of determining preload based on measurement of pressure in a heart chamber or volume of a heart chamber ("static" parameters) are inaccurate and should be abandoned in favor of determining preload responsiveness by using one of the "dynamic parameters" based on respiratory variation in the venous or arterial circulation or based on change in stroke volume in response to an endogenous or exogenous volume challenge. The recent development and validation of a number of noninvasive technologies now allow us to optimize preload in an accurate, safe, rapid and, cost-effective manner.

    Abstract Direct oral anti-coagulants (DOACs) reduce hospital length-of-stay (LOS) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in clinical trials. There is a paucity of literature describing real world utility of DOACs, particularly in intermediate-risk patients. To evaluate if the utilization of DOACs vs. non-DOACs in acute PE patients, reduces LOS without a difference in safety in patients defined as low and intermediate-risk of mortality by the European Society of Cardiology. This was a retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected data from a single center registry of consecutive adult outpatients diagnosed with acute PE who survived to hospital discharge. Primary outcome was median hospital LOS. Secondary outcomes were 30-day readmission, survival, and incidence of major and minor bleeding. There were 307 outpatients admitted with acute PE 88 (28.7%) low-risk, 213 (69.4%) intermediate-risk, and 6 (2.0%) high-risk. Two hundred and twenty-six (73.6%) received a DOAC. There was a statistically significant shorter median LOS in all patients treated with a DOAC (2.9 days, IQR 1.8-4.7) vs non-DOAC (4.9 days, IQR 3-8.9) (Generalized Linear Model p < 0.001). There was a shorter median LOS between intermediate-risk patients treated with a DOAC (3.6 days, IQR 2-5.8) vs non-DOAC (5, IQR 3-9). There was no difference in 30-day readmission, survival, or bleeding complications in both cohorts. There was a reduction in LOS in low and intermediate risk patients treated with a DOAC without a difference in 30-day safety and efficacy. Treating acute PE patients with DOACs including intermediate-risk patients, compared to conventional anticoagulation, may facilitate early discharge, and potentially reduce hospital costs.

    Abstract 49-year-old white female with remote h/o sarcoidosis was referred to GI when her liver was noted to be nodular. Physical examination revealed normal vital signs and no icterus, spider nevi, clubbing, ascites, hepatosplenomegaly, or ankle edema. LFTs, hepatitis serologies, ANA, AMA, ASMA, Ferritin, Ceruloplasmin, and α 1-AT, level were unremarkable. Liver biopsy showed cirrhosis. She developed worsening of baseline SOB and was hospitalized. She was eventually diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis. A diagnosis of cardiac cirrhosis was made.

    Abstract Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare solid, non-neoplastic masses that can mimic pulmonary malignancy. It occurs most commonly in children and young adults and is usually found incidentally. There are many reports of the existence of this tumor in various organs in the human body. The occurrence of this tumor exclusively in the pleura has not been described before. We present a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the pleura and its successful management.

    Abstract Streptococcus anginosus (S. anginosus) is considered a friendly bug and is a one of many different bacteria that constitute the normal flora of the oral cavity. Nevertheless, it has been infrequently associated with more invasive infections, like lung abscess. It is extremely rare to have multisystemic involvement with S. anginosus group. We present a unique case of pulmonary and brain abscess due to S. anginosus in an immunocompetent patient.

    Abstract Chylous ascites and coexistent chylothorax is a rare but important complication following retroperitoneal abdominal surgery. We report a 70-year-old male who developed gradual abdominal distension, chest tightness, and dyspnea five months after having an uncomplicated aortobifemoral bypass performed. Physical examination was consistent with a large right sided effusion and ascites which were confirmed by computed tomography. Thoracentesis yielded an opaque milky fluid with analysis consistent with a chylothorax with a paracentesis revealing fluid that was similar in both appearance and biochemistry. The patient failed initial conservative management so a chest tube was placed followed by chemical pleurodesis. We review the literature of the pathophysiology and treatment approach to such a pleural effusion.
