Article Abstract
Patient Monitoring at Home is a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program through Michigan Medicine, which provides symptoms and vital sign monitoring via a provided cellular tablet and Bluetooth-connected devices. A team of registered nurses monitors patients 7 days per week. The team examined 6-month outcomes for 1,139 encounters from November 2020 to August 2022, which showed a 59% reduction in the average number of hospital admissions 6 months after the start of enrollment (1.38 vs. 0.57, < 0.0001) across multiple enrollment diagnoses including COVID-19, congestive heart failure, and hypertension. The duration of enrollment varied, ranging from 7 to 386 days, with a median of 38 days. A shorter duration of monitoring was associated with a more favorable outcome (hospitalization reduction). Our findings show that RPM is effective in reducing hospital admissions for a wide variety of conditions. More research is needed to optimize patient selection, ideal method, and duration of monitoring.

Department of Cardiology, Copenhagen University Hospital - Herlev and Gentofte Hospital.
Introduction: Long-term cardiac monitoring has become more accessible with the advent of consumer-oriented wearable devices. Smartwatches (SWs) hold promise for extended rhythm monitoring owing to their availability and direct electronic health record (EHR) integration. We studied the clinical consequences of SW implementation in patients with palpitations.

Unlabelled: Concurrent presentation of pulmonary nocardiosis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, given the overlapping clinical and radiological features. We report a 54-year-old female with fever, cough, weight loss, and arthralgia. Chest imaging showed multiple pulmonary nodules; serology revealed positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies -proteinase 3, and lung biopsy demonstrated necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with Nocardia species.

Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Hospital Clínico San Carlos; IdISSC, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Certain scientific publications suggest that medications with high protein binding, such as phenytoin, have lower-than-expected serum levels in patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN) preparations or nutritional supplements. Valproic acid (VPA) is highly protein bound but currently no interactions with EN that would reduce serum levels have been documented.
Case Description: A 69-year-old patient receiving enteral VPA oral solution via a nasojejunal tube experienced a clinically significant decrease in serum concentration when EN was initiated.

Cardiac Sciences Division, Department of Medicine, King Abdulaziz Hospital, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNGHA), Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.
Unlabelled: Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is a rare congenital condition that can present as non-specific chest pain or shortness of breath or remain asymptomatic. Early identification is critical as certain variants are linked with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old female with hypertension, hypothyroidism, obesity (class II) and a history of intermittent chest pain radiating to the left arm for two years.

Unlabelled: Bariatric surgery has emerged as a highly effective treatment option for individuals with obesity. Severe hypoalbuminaemia is a feared complication after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It is characterised by a low serum albumin level of <25 g/l, neither explained by renal losses, protein-losing enteropathy nor by liver disfunction, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
