In this case report, a 53-year-old man with poorly controlled hypertension and end-stage renal disease presented with hypertensive crisis and a one-week history of symptoms including back pain, abdominal pain, and pain radiating down his legs. Despite aggressive blood pressure control, the patient was found to have a 21mm ventral epidural hematoma at T10 causing thoracic cord compression and paraplegia. The patient underwent surgical hematoma evacuation but remained paraplegic with minimal motor and sensory recovery. Spinal epidural hematoma as a complication of hypertensive crisis is rare. Clinicians should be aware of the potential development of spinal epidural hematoma in patients with hypertensive crisis, even in cases with no obvious risk factors. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing permanent neurological damage and improving patient outcomes. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and risk factors for spinal epidural hematoma in patients with hypertensive crisis.","PeriodicalId":22976,"journal":{"name":"The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135781655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cystic fibrosis and pulmonary biofilms 囊性纤维化和肺生物膜

This protein is an anion channel that transfers chloride and bicarbonate from an intracellular location to an extracellular location. This transfer supports the formation of a normal periciliary fluid layer that is essential for ciliary function and the clearance of particulates from bronchi. Changes in mucociliary function can result in chronic bronchitis and recurrent infections. Studies using micro computed tomography of explanted lungs from CF patients have demonstrated that there is a significant reduction in the number of terminal bronchi and that approximately 50% of these bronchi are obstructed with secretions. These airways become colonized with bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can form biofilms, and this results in chronic inflammation and chronic airway damage. Biofilm formation can be predicted when mucoid colonies of pseudomonas grow out on routine bacterial cultures of sputum. Studies on the prognosis of patients with CF have demonstrated that there is lack of clear genotype-phenotype correlation, but one recent longitudinal study did report an association between more severe CFTR genotypes and clinical outcomes. In addition, the degree of pulmonary dysfunction and pseudomonas colonization, especially with drug resistant pseudomonas, predict poor outcomes. Bacteria in biofilms are more resistant to antibiotics, and the structure of biofilms limits host defense responses. Treatment approaches include the use of more than one antibiotic, the addition of inhaled antibiotics, the use of enzymes that degrade biofilms, and the use of small molecules that inhibit community metabolism in biofilms.

The patient's pruritus resisted numerous conventional and unconventional therapy modalities, highlighting the difficulty of treating post-COVID-19 dermatological symptoms. Pruritus in the patient was significantly alleviated due to therapy with Dupixent, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. Treatment of the condition improved significantly with the use of Dupixent. The report describes the story of the patient's journey, from the first-time symptoms showed up after COVID-19 infection, through several treatments that was not effective, to when the patient's symptoms disappeared after starting Dupixent. The patient's recent SARS-CoV-2 infection may be connected to the immune-mediated process shown by the patient's histopathological results. Even though these results are based on a single instance, they highlight COVID-19's ability to cause chronic pruritus and recommend Dupixent as a possible treatment approach. More study is required to confirm these findings and investigate possible immunological connections between COVID-19 and chronic pruritus.","PeriodicalId":22976,"journal":{"name":"The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135781647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical examination revealed a crescendo-decrescendo ejection murmur and bilateral lower limb edema.
