    Abstract This article presents two individuals with different clinical presentations who experienced spontaneous pneumomediastinum following the chronic use of marijuana. Pneumomediastinum has been associated with marijuana use due to the prolonged inhalation and breath-holding mechanisms employed during consumption. The first case involves a 24-year-old woman with a history of anxiety and chronic marijuana use, who presented to the emergency department with atypical chest pain and shortness of breath. The second case involves a 21-year-old man with no previous medical history, who experienced acute chest pain after smoking marijuana. Both individuals exhibited signs of pneumomediastinum on imaging studies and were treated with oxygen therapy and analgesics. The cases emphasize the importance of considering pneumomediastinum in patients with atypical chest pain, particularly in chronic cannabis users.

    Abstract Intravenous drug use has become a worldwide public health hazard and continues to affect all strata of our society. It has been associated with a multitude of severe infectious complications, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus, and endocarditis, though others such as skin and soft tissue infections are also extremely common. Rectus sheath abscess remains a rare medical condition. Here we report a 62-year-old man, who used heroin daily, presenting with an abdominal swelling with pain for two weeks. CT of the abdomen revealed a large left-sided rectus sheath abscess. Intravenous antibiotics were started and the abscess drained. The patient responded favorably to treatment. While managing complications of injection drug abuse, apart from the medical management, interventions to treat addiction assume prime importance. Rehabilitation, needle exchanges, and injection hygiene remain key to battling this malady.

    Abstract After an outbreak in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly become a pandemic. The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019 nCov), now called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causes a wide spectrum of illness and patients with underlying comorbidities have a high mortality. Here we present a 49-year-old male patient with comorbid conditions who presented with fever, cough, myalgia and shortness of breath for five days with likely exposure to a COVID-19 contact. A computed tomography scan of the thorax revealed multifocal bilateral ground-glass lung opacities with areas of subpleural sparing. He tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nucleic acid amplification. Hydroxychloroquine therapy was started, and the patient responded favorably with improvement of symptoms. Early diagnosis and self-isolation or quarantine remain key to stemming the tide of the contagion as there is a real risk of the healthcare system being overwhelmed.

  7. Article: Cerebellar Haemorrhage Leading to Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

    Abstract Introduction: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is a known, but a rare cause of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). It results in the development of non-shockable rhythms such as asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA).
    Case report: A 77- years old male had an OHCA without any prodrome. An emergency medical services (EMS) team responded to an emergency call and intubated the patient at the site before transporting him to the Acute Care Hospital, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA. On admission, a non-contrast computed tomography scan of the head revealed a large cerebellar haemorrhage. Non-traumatic ICH is a rare cause of OHCA. Although subarachnoid haemorrhage causing cardiac arrest has been described in the literature, cerebellar haemorrhage leading to cardiac arrest is rare. The mechanism by which ICH patients develop cardiac arrest is likely explained by a massive catecholamine surge leading to cardiac stunning.
    Conclusion: A non-shockable rhythm in the seting of a sudden cardiac arrest should raise alarms for a primary non-cardiac ethology, especially a primary cerebrovascular event. The absence of brainstem reflexes increases the likelihood of an intracranial process.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 has rapidly enveloped the world in a pandemic after emerging in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. We describe a 49-year-old man presenting with fever, cough, dyspnea, and myalgia diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 along with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The creatine phosphokinase was elevated to 23,800 U/L before trending down to normal levels. Rapid identification and treatment with aggressive intravenous hydration and correction of electrolyte abnormalities remain key to successful management. In a pandemic, often atypical presentations of this new disease have to be considered as differentials for early diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening conditions.

    Abstract Splenic subcapsular hematoma is a rare complication of pancreatitis. The splenic vessels and the pancreatic tail lie close together in the lienorenal ligament. The pathologies in the pancreatic tail may occasionally affect the spleen resulting in splenic vein thrombosis, arterial pseudoaneurysm, subcapsular splenic hematoma, and splenic rupture. A 40-year-old male with a history of alcohol abuse and alcohol-induced pancreatitis presented with severe epigastric abdominal pain and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. Later during hospitalization he became dyspneic and hemodynamically unstable, with acute anemia requiring blood transfusion. An abdominal CT with angiography (CTA) revealed a splenic subcapsular hematoma with active bleeding which was managed by urgent exploratory laparotomy and splenectomy. Due to its rarity, diagnosis of splenic hematoma in pancreatitis is challenging with rapid identification and intervention being key to management.

    Abstract Obstruction of the airway is a medical emergency. If it is not treated immediately, rapid and potentially life-threatening hypoxia develops. A 70-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and palatine tonsillectomy presented to our tertiary care hospital with dysphagia, odynophagia, muffled voice, and neck swelling of a one-week duration. She also complained of associated shortness of breath that began two days prior to hospital admittance. Bedside laryngoscopy revealed an enlarged base of the tongue and laryngeal edema, resulting in partial airway obstruction. A CT scan of the soft tissue of the neck revealed that lingual tonsillar hypertrophy (LTH) was the cause of the partial airway obstruction. While being closely monitored, the patient was treated with intravenous corticosteroids and antibiotics. Serial laryngoscopies were performed to track the resolution of the airway obstruction. Her hospital course remained uneventful, and the patient was discharged after four days. Though rare, LTH has a strong propensity to cause airway compromise, and it must be treated at once.
