Flash pulmonary edema can affect up to 10% of women with preeclampsia. Although there is growing literature describing the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pregnant patients, there is very little research describing its use in the setting of preeclampsia. In this case report, an encouraging story of a woman with this complication who was successfully managed is described. In addition, the impact of normal physiologic changes of pregnancy on ECMO management is discussed.

Background: Recent advances in radiation biology and preclinical research have identified that high doses of radiation at ultra-high dose rate can lead to sparing of normal tissue, while maintaining tumor control. This has been termed the FLASH effect and has been extended from electrons to protons, heavy ions and photons. Lung cancer treatments, despite the advancements in radiotherapy with precise protons, are still associated with significant damage to the normal tissue.

Elective intravenous infusion therapies are increasingly offered in outpatient settings, often without adequate physician oversight or protocols for safety. We describe a case of accidental iatrogenic injury following an intravenous infusion at a medical spa. An elderly woman with a solitary kidney presented to the ED with chest tightness, acute shortness of breath, and headache shortly after receiving an intravenous vitamin infusion in a liter of sterile water, followed by half a liter of normal saline.

We present the case of a 46-year-old man with bilateral renal artery stenosis and a previous stent placed on the left renal artery who presented with a hypertensive emergency with flash pulmonary edema and acute-on-chronic renal failure. A renal angiogram revealed extensive thrombosis and in-stent restenosis, which were treated with thrombectomy, angioplasty, and stenting. Our case highlights the importance of careful patient selection for renal artery stenting and close monitoring post-stenting due to the risk of serious complications.

Objectives: Large language models (LLMs) offer potential in natural language processing tasks in healthcare. Due to the need for high accuracy, understanding their limitations is essential. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of LLMs in classifying radiology reports for the presence of pulmonary embolism (PE) under various conditions, including different prompt designs and data perturbations.

Background: Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE), especially in intravenous drug users, presents a management challenge when patients decline surgery. Percutaneous aspiration techniques have emerged as less-invasive alternatives.
Case Summary: A 32-year-old male with a history of intravenous drug use presented with persistent methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and septic pulmonary emboli.
