Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Case Report With Contemporary Literature Review and Neuropathological Evidence From Autopsy

Liubou Kazacheuskaya, Jordan Brzezny, Luis De Alba, Marjorie R Fowler et autres

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neuro-radiological condition characterized by vasogenic edema in the parieto-occipital brain regions. Although typically reversible, some cases result in irreversible damage, particularly with delayed treatment. This study reviews 12 autopsy-confirmed cases and presents a novel case, …

The association between patient age, abscess size, and white blood cell count on duration of catheter stay for percutaneous abscess drainage of abdominal abscesses

Christopher A. Stevens, Chintan Mehta, D.A. Scott, Prerana Ramesh et autres

OBJECTIVE: Knowing factors that impact catheter stay duration is important since removing drainage catheters too early or late can have significant consequences. We present a single center retrospective study that analyzes multiple variables, including abscess size, white blood cell count, and patient …
