    Abstract A 34-year-old man with a medical history of injection drug use presented with 2 weeks of weakness, nausea, vomiting and septic shock secondary to infective endocarditis of a native tricuspid valve. On admission, CT chest demonstrated multiple cavitary lesions as well as numerous small infarcts seen on MRI brain concerning for systemic septic emboli. Subsequent transthoracic echo with bubble study revealed a large patent foramen ovale (PFO). The patient later received surgical debulking of his tricuspid valve vegetation with AngioVac. Subsequently, PFO closure was performed with a NobleStitch device. The case presented here demonstrates the importance of having a high index of suspicion with right-sided endocarditis and the development of other systemic signs and symptoms. It also underscores the necessity of a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, surgeons, infectious disease specialists and intensivists in the treatment of these complicated patients.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare the risks of adverse outcomes, including mortality, gastrointestinal bleeding, and venous thromboembolism, between COVID-19 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and those without IBD.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample between January and December 2020. The study included adult patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) who contracted COVID-19. Inpatient outcomes were compared between the IBD and non-IBD COVID-19 cohorts.
    Results: Out of 1,050,045 COVID-19 hospitalizations, 0.28% had CD (2954 patients) and 0.26% had UC (2794 patients). After adjusting for confounding factors, UC patients had a significantly higher risk of deep vein thrombosis compared to non-IBD patients, with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 2.55 (
    Conclusion: Our national study on COVID-19 hospitalizations indicates that patients with IBD have comparable rates of gastrointestinal bleeding, pulmonary embolism, and mortality as those without IBD. However, patients with UC hospitalized with COVID-19 have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis than COVID-19 patients hospitalized without UC. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between COVID-19 and IBD.

    Abstract Our study aimed to identify clinical outcomes and resource utilization associated with race and ethnicity in patients admitted with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) across the United States. We queried the National Inpatient Sample database from 2015 to 2019 and identified 622,820 patients admitted with PVD. Patients across 3 major race and ethnic categories were compared in terms of baseline characteristics, inpatient outcomes, and resource utilization. Black and Hispanic patients were more likely to be younger and of the lowest median income but incur higher total hospital costs. Black race predicted higher rates of acute kidney injury, need for blood transfusion, and need for vasopressor but lower rates of circulatory shock, and mortality. Black and Hispanic patients were less likely to undergo limb-salvaging procedures and more likely to undergo amputation than White patients. In conclusion, our findings indicate that Black and Hispanic patients experience health disparities in resource utilization and inpatient outcomes for PVD admissions.

    Abstract Introduction: Helicobacter pylori
    Materials and methods: We prospectively enrolled children between the ages of 4 and 17 years from April 2019 to July 2019. Enrolled children were patients with nongastrointestinal complaints at the pediatric clinics of two hospitals and at community centers caring for healthy children in Irbid, Jordan. Questionnaires obtaining data on sociodemographics, clinical symptomatology, and hygienic risk factors were completed. Recruited children underwent a urea breath test (UBT).
    Results: Of 340 children who were recruited, 328 (96.5%) were included in the final analysis. The mean age (±standard deviation) was 9.56 (±3.98) years (range, 4.0-17 years), and 168 (51.2%) were males. Only 48 children (14.6%) tested positive. There were no gender differences.

    Abstract Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative bacteria that is harbored in the stomach and linked to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric malignancy. Most Helicobacter infections are acquired during early infancy. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of H. pylori infection in Jordanian children using the ¹³C-urea breath test.We prospectively enrolled children between the ages of 4 and 17 years from April 2019 to July 2019. Enrolled children were patients with nongastrointestinal complaints at the pediatric clinics of two hospitals and at community centers caring for healthy children in Irbid, Jordan. Questionnaires obtaining data on sociodemographics, clinical symptomatology, and hygienic risk factors were completed. Recruited children underwent a urea breath test (UBT).Of 340 children who were recruited, 328 (96.5%) were included in the final analysis. The mean age (±standard deviation) was 9.56 (±3.98) years (range, 4.0–17 years), and 168 (51.2%) were males. Only 48 children (14.6%) tested positive. There were no gender differences. Living in an urban area and a family history of previous H. pylori infection were risk factors for the acquisition of infection (P = 0.007 and 0.001, respectively). Although gastrointestinal symptoms were more common in H. pylori-infected children, only hiccups and constipation were statistically significant (P = 0.035 and 0.038, respectively).H. pylori infects at least 15% of Jordanian children, suggesting a significant drop in infection rates in this group. Larger-scale studies combined with clinical evaluations will be important for further understanding the reasons for the observed decrease in H. pylori infections in Jordanian children.
