    Abstract Carcinoma cuniculatum is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. To date, there are less than 30 cases of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum reported. It is frequently a diagnostic challenge: A definitive diagnosis typically cannot be made before esophagectomy. We present a uniquely aggressive case of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum complicated by a bronchoesophageal fistula and successfully palliated with dual esophageal and endobronchial stenting.

    Abstract Background: Prosthetic valve endocarditis can be difficult to diagnose and cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially when no culture data are available to guide therapy. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms, the studies of choice for initial endocarditis evaluation, can be less reliable due to artifact and post-surgical changes. Some less common forms of endocarditis may be difficult to culture and, due to their fastidious nature, may delay the identification of causative organisms. Given the lack of directed antimicrobial treatment, culturenegative prosthetic valve endocarditis is specifically difficult. A wide differential diagnosis is critical to make a timely diagnosis and initiate treatment.
    Case presentation: We present a case of a patient presenting with dyspnea which was found to have culture-negative endocarditis requiring mitral and aortic valve replacement that ultimately was complicated with culture-negative prosthetic valve endocarditis. Identifying a culprit organism made appropriate and timely antimicrobial treatment difficult, ultimately resulting in the patient dying from endocarditis complications.
    Conclusion: A high index of suspicion is needed when managing infective endocarditis, especially when prosthetic valves are involved. Diagnostic accuracy of cultures and echocardiography may be reduced when dealing with prosthetic valve endocarditis; thus, alternative methods of diagnosis may be required to make a timely diagnosis of causative organisms.

    Abstract Background: Racial and ethnic minorities are at risk for disparities in quality of care after out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OHCA). As such, we examined associations between race and ethnicity and use of guideline-recommended and life-sustaining procedures during hospitalizations for OHCA.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study of hospitalizations for OHCA in all acute-care, non-federal California hospitals from 2009 to 2011. Associations between the use of (1) guideline-recommended procedures (cardiac catheterization for ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia, therapeutic hypothermia), (2) life-sustaining procedures (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)/tracheostomy, renal replacement therapy (RRT)), and (3) palliative care and race/ethnicity were examined using hierarchical logistic regression analysis.
    Results: Among 51,198 hospitalizations for OHCA, unadjusted rates of cardiac catheterization were 34.9% in Whites, 19.8% in Blacks, 27.2% in Hispanics, and 30.9% in Asians (P < 0.01). Rates of therapeutic hypothermia were 2.3% in Whites, 1.1% in Blacks, 1.3% in Hispanics, and 1.9% in Asians (P < 0.01). Rates of PEG/tracheostomy and RRT were 2.2% and 9.8% in Whites, 5.7% and 19.9% in Blacks, 4.2% and 19.9% in Hispanics, and 3.4% and 18.2% in Asians, respectively (P < 0.01). Rates of palliative care were 14.8% in Whites, 9.6% in Blacks, 10.1% in Hispanics, and 14.3% in Asians (P < 0.01). Differences in utilization of procedures persisted after adjustment for patient and hospital-related factors.
    Conclusion: Racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to receive guideline-recommended interventions and palliative care, and more likely to receive life-sustaining treatments following OHCA. These findings suggest that significant disparities exist in medical care after OHCA.
