    Abstract Convex endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (C-EBUS-TBNA) has become an essential modality for diagnosis and staging of hilar, mediastinal, and central pulmonary lesions. A Trans-thoracic pleural biopsy is the accepted practice for diagnosing pleural nodules. However, the diagnostic yield of a pleural biopsy is limited and surgical procedures pose a greater risk. We report a unique case of using a C- EBUS scope for the diagnosis of pleural nodules and mediastinal lymph node metastasis in a man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 viral pandemic has had an immeasurable global impact, resulting in over 5 million deaths worldwide. Numerous vaccines were developed in an attempt to quell viral dissemination and reduce symptom severity among those infected. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the production of antinuclear autoantibodies (ANAs) with heterogenic clinical manifestations, secondary to immune complex deposition in a multitude of organ systems. There are scarcely reported cases of SLE development following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. We present a case of a 24-year-old male without preexisting conditions or family history of autoimmune disorders, presenting with SLE following the first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine.

    Abstract Objective: To determine whether application of a gum-elastic bougie (GEB), a visual stylet used to improve success rates of difficult intubations, reduces the time, and number of attempts to achieve successful intubation while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
    Design: A randomized cross-over study comparing orotracheal intubations performed on an AirMan® Mannequin, using either a semirigid stylet or a GEB, while wearing an active hood with a charcoal impregnated suit and butyl rubber gloves.
    Setting: Simulation training field of the Israel Defense Force Medical Corps.
    Participants: 27 military physicians and 23 paramedics (PMs).
    Interventions: Comparing intubation with and without using the GEB while wearing PPE.
    Main outcome measure(s): Airway (AW) control was considered successful if the "lungs" of the mannequin ex-panded during bag ventilation. Three unsuccessful attempts or a procedure exceeding 60 seconds were regarded as a failure. Correlations between parameters of self-assessment of skills and successful intubation were also determined.
    Results: With the GEB, success rate was lower (82 percent versus 100 percent, p = 0.002), more attempts were needed (1.4 ± 0.7 versus 1.0 ± 0.2, p = 0.005) and time-to-achieve AW control was longer (43.6 ± 14.6 sec-onds versus 23.1 ± 10.5 seconds, P < 0.001) than without it. Participants with high self-assessment of GEB-assisted AW management skills needed less attempts to perform successful intubation with GEB than participants with low self-assessment (1.0 ± 0.0 versus 1.4 ± 0.8, p = 0.001), but not less time to achieve it.
    Conclusions: While donning PPE, the use of GEB (versus semirigid stylets) did not reduce the time or the number of attempts necessary to achieve successful intubation.

    Abstract Toxins are hazardous biochemical compounds derived from bacteria, fungi, or plants. Some have mechanisms of action and physical properties that make them amenable for use as potential warfare agents. Currently, some toxins are classified as potential biological weapons, although they have several differences from classic living bio-terror pathogens and some similarities to manmade chemical warfare agents. This review focuses on category A and B bio-terror toxins recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Botulinum neurotoxin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B, Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin, and ricin. Their derivation, pathogenesis, mechanism of action, associated clinical signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed in detail. Given their expected covert use, the primary diagnostic challenge in toxin exposure is the early detection of morbidity clusters, apart from background morbidity, after a relatively short incubation period. For this reason, it is important that clinicians be familiar with the clinical manifestations of toxins and the appropriate methods of management and countermeasures.

    Abstract Background: Routine smallpox vaccination for military recruits was discontinued in Israel in 1996. However, Israeli guidelines recommend post-event mass-vaccination. This study aimed to estimate the rate of Israeli adolescents at risk of severe adverse events after vaccination during 1998-2013.
    Methods: The study population included adolescents screened before military service in 1998-2013. Medical parameters correlating with contraindications to smallpox vaccination were retrieved from army databases, and were categorized by severity according to the Israeli post-event strategy.
    Results: Of 1,180,964 individuals, 1.86% had vaccination contraindications in a post-event scenario. An additional 1.24% had contraindications in a pre-event scenario. There was an increase in the percentage of contraindications over time, attributed to the rising incidence of atopic-dermatitis.
    Conclusions: Only a small percentage of the adolescent population is ineligible to receive the smallpox vaccine currently in use. This group may be protected by herd-immunity, or by new-generation vaccines designed to prevent severe adverse events.

    Abstract Background: The diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension requires right heart catheterization (RHC) which is typically performed via proximal venous access (PVA). Antecubital venous access (AVA) is an alternative approach for RHC that can minimize complications, decrease procedural duration and allow for immediate patient recovery. A direct comparison between the two procedures in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is lacking.
    Objectives: To determine the feasibility, safety, and adoption rates of AVA-RHC as compared with ultrasound-guided PVA in a subpopulation of patients with PH.
    Methods: All patients who underwent RHC for evaluation of PH between December 2014 and March 2017 at a single large academic medical center were included in this study. Demographic, procedural and outcomes data were retrieved from the medical records.
    Results: In total, 159 RHC were included (124 AVA, 35 PVA). The duration of RHC was significantly shorter in the AVA compared with PVA group (53 (IQR 38-70) vs. 80 (IQR 56-95) min, respectively, p < 0.001). 19% of AVA (24/124) procedures were switched to PVA. Failed attempts at AVA were more common in scleroderma (50% failure rate). Success rate of AVA increased from 81.2% to 93.3% from the first to last quartile. Fluoroscopy time was similar in both groups, the difference between the groups in the radiation dose are not statistically significant (54.5 (IQR 25-110) vs. 84.5 (IQR 30-134)).
    Conclusion: AVA-RHC is a feasible and safe alternative to PVA in patients with PH who are evaluated for pulmonary arterial hypertension diagnosis. Our experience and rapid adoption rate support the use of AVA as the preferred access site for RHC in uncomplicated PH patients.
