Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with membranous lupus glomerulonephritis (MLN) can present with a broad range of urine protein excretion. The glomerular lesion underlying this functional abnormality has been presumed to be immune complexes which aggregate in the subepithelial area. However, the amount of proteinuria often fails to correlate with the quantity of immune deposits demonstrable on fluorescent and electron microscopy. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation of alterations of the morphologic components of the glomerular capillary wall with the amount of proteinuria in MLN. DESIGN We conducted a retrospective clinicopathologic study of patients with lupus nephritis (n=236). In those with pure MLN and proteinuria (n=20), the degree of immune aggregates in the capillary walls and mesangium was detailed using fluorescent and electron microscopy. The degree of foot process effacement (FPE) was detailed using electron microscopy. RESULT Eleven patients had nephrotic range proteinuria (≥ 3 g proteinuria/g creatinine (g/g)) and nine demonstrated subnephrotic range proteinuria (<3 g/g) (nephrotic, 8.3 ± 5.1 g/g vs. subnephrotic, 1.63 ± 0.83 g/g, p=0.001). All patients demonstrated peripheral capillary wall granular deposits by immunofluorescence microscopy, and the degree of moderate (2+) to severe (3+) deposition was not different (nephrotic, 8/11, 73% vs. subnephrotic, 5/9, 55%, p=0.64). By electron microscopy, FPE (88.6 ± 11% vs. 48.3 ± 36.1%, p=0.002) and foot process width (1798 ± 736 nm vs. 1000 ± 333 nm, p=0.008) was greater in the nephrotic group compared with subnephrotic. There were no other histopathologic differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients with MLN, a distinguishing morphologic feature of those with nephrotic range proteinuria is diffuse visceral epithelial cell FPE. We conclude that nephrotic range proteinuria in patients with MLN may be a manifestation of concomitant glomerular visceral epithelial cell dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to describe the epidemiology and risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among kidney transplant recipients (KTR) between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2010. METHODS A single-institution retrospective study was conducted among all adult KTR with CDI, defined as a positive test for C. difficile by a cell cytotoxic assay for C. difficile toxin A or B or polymerase chain reaction test for toxigenic C. difficile. RESULTS Among 603 kidney transplants performed between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2010, 37 (6.1%) patients developed CDI: 12 (of 128; 9.4%) high-risk (blood group incompatible and/or anti-human leukocyte antigen donor-specific antibodies) vs. 25 (of 475; 5.3%, P = 0.08) standard-risk patients. The overall rate of CDI increased from 3.7% in 2008 to 9.4% in 2010 (P = 0.05). The median time to CDI diagnosis was 9 days, with 27 (73.0%) patients developing CDI within the first 30 days after their transplant, and 14 (51.8%) developing CDI within 7 days. A case-control analysis of 37 CDI cases and 74 matched controls demonstrated the following predictors for CDI among KTR: vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus colonization before transplant (odds ratio [OR]: 3.6, P = 0.03), receipt of an organ from Centers for Disease Control high-risk donor (OR: 5.9, P = 0.006), and administration of high-risk antibiotics within 30 days post transplant (OR: 6.6, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CDI remains a common early complication in KTR, with rates steadily increasing during the study period. Host and transplant-related factors and exposure to antibiotics appeared to significantly impact the risk for CDI among KTR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most lethal manifestation of heart disease. In an Indian study the SCDs contribute about 10% of the total mortality and SCD post ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) constitutes for about half of total deaths. OBJECTIVE Given the limitations of existing therapy there is a need for an effective, easy to use, broadly applicable and affordable intervention to prevent SCD post MI. Leading cardiologists from all over India came together to discuss the potential role of n-3 acid ethyl esters (90%) of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 460 mg & docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 380 mg in the management of post MI patients and those with hypertriglyceridemia. RECOMMENDATIONS Highly purified & concentrated omega-3 ethyl esters (90%) of EPA (460 mg) & DHA (380 mg) has clinically proven benefits in improving post MI outcomes (significant 15% risk reduction for all-cause mortality, 20% risk reduction for CVD and 45% risk reduction in SCD in GISSI-Prevenzione trial) and in reducing hypertriglyceridemia, and hence, represent an interesting option adding to the treatment armamentarium in the secondary prevention after MI based on its anti-arrhythmogenic effects and also in reducing hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis in solid organ transplant recipients most often occurs as a result of primary infection or reactivation of latent infection. Herein, we report a series of cases of transplant-related transmission of coccidioidomycosis from a single donor from a non-endemic region whose organs were transplanted to 5 different recipients. In all, 3 of the 5 recipients developed evidence of Coccidioides infection, 2 of whom had disseminated disease. The degree of T-cell immunosuppression and timing of antifungal therapy initiation likely contributed to development of disease and disease severity in these recipients. This case series highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for Coccidioides infection in solid organ transplant recipients, even if the donor does not have known exposure, given the difficulties of obtaining a detailed and accurate travel history from next-of-kin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Increased utilization of computed tomography angiography (CTA) has increased the radiologic diagnosis of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers (PAUs), which are defined as the ulceration of atherosclerotic plaque through the internal elastic lamina into the aortic media. However, the presentation, treatment indications, and natural history of this disease process remain unclear. METHODS The radiology database at a single university hospital was searched retrospectively for the CTA diagnosis of PAU from January 2003 to June 2009. All scans were interpreted by a cardiovascular radiologist. Information on PAU characteristics and need for surgical repair due to PAU disease was collected. PAU stability or progression was assessed by follow-up CTA, if available. Only PAUs in the aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, and abdominal aorta were included. RESULTS Three hundred eighty-eight PAUs were diagnosed by CTA interpretation. PAU location was in the aortic arch in 27 (6.8%) cases, the descending thoracic aorta in 243 (61.2%) cases, and the abdominal aorta in 118 (29.7%) cases. Two hundred twenty-four (57.7%) PAUs were isolated (without saccular aneurysm or intramural hematoma); 108 (27.8%) PAUs had associated saccular aneurysms; and 56 (14.4%) PAUs had associated intramural hematoma. Rupture was present in 16 (4.1%) cases. Fifty (12.9%) PAUs underwent repair with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) (n = 30), endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) (n = 10), or open surgery (n = 10); primary indications for repair were saccular aneurysm (n = 26), rupture (n = 16), and persistent or recurrent symptoms (n = 8). Even if initially treated conservatively with resolution of pain, symptomatic PAU disease was more likely to require repair than asymptomatic PAU disease (36.2% vs 7.8%, P < .001). Follow-up CTA was available for 87 PAUs, 20 (23.0%) of which demonstrated radiographic disease progression at a mean follow-up of 8.4 ± 10.3 months. Symptomatic PAU disease was more likely to progress than asymptomatic disease (42.9% vs 16.7%, P = .029). CONCLUSIONS For PAUs diagnosed on CTA at a single institution, 4.1% were ruptured and 12.9% underwent repair. Close follow-up imaging appears to be indicated for PAUs, particularly in the case of symptomatic disease, which is more likely to require repair and to undergo radiographic progression.
