Abstract
Primary hyperthyroidism (PHPT) is a relatively uncommon disease and leads to increased calcium levels. Ionized calcium, known as clotting Factor IV, may lead to overt coagulation cascade activation, increasing the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). National Inpatient Sample Database was used to sample individuals with primary hyperparathyroidism, and baseline demographics and comorbidities were collected using ICD-10 codes. Patients with missing data and age less than 18 were excluded. Moreover, patients with other types of hyperparathyroidism and risk factors for VTE, such as malignancy, thrombophilia, chronic kidney and liver disease, fractures, trauma, oral contraceptive/steroid use, and organ transplant, were excluded. Greedy propensity matching using R was performed to match patients with and without primary hyperparathyroidism on age, race, gender, and 10 other comorbidities, including chronic deep venous thromboembolism. Univariate analysis pre- and post-match were performed. Binary logistic regression was performed after matching to assess whether primary hyperparathyroidism was an independent risk factor for acute VTE. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Out of 460,529 patients included in the study, 1114 (6.5%) had PHPT. Baseline comorbidities were more common in the PHPT group. On univariate analysis, patients with PHPT were more likely to have acute VTE (2.5% vs. 1.4%; p < 0.001). After 1:1 matching, PHPT patients were twice as likely to have Acute VTE. (OR: 2.1 [1.08-4.1]; p < 0.025). These findings suggest an association between PHPT and VTE, which should be further investigated to prevent the increasing incidence of VTE and its recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is one of the most common and significant risk factors for stroke, with the CHADsVAsc score used as the tool for stroke risk assessment. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been studied as an independent risk factor for stroke in individuals with Afib. METHODS In this retrospective case-control study, National Inpatient Sample Database was used to sample individuals with atrial fibrillation, and baseline demographics and comorbidities were collected using ICD-10 codes. Patients with missing data, age under 18, history of thromboembolic diseases, or stroke were excluded. Greedy propensity matching using R was performed to match patients with and without PH on age, race, gender, and 19 other comorbidities, including anticoagulation use. Binary logistic regression was performed after matching to assess whether PH was an independent risk factor for stroke. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Of the 2,421,545 patients included in the study, 158,545 (6.5%) had PH. PH patients were more likely to be elderly, females, and smokers. Comorbidities were more common in the PH group. Patients with PH were more likely to have an ischemic stroke (3.6% vs. 2.9%, p<0.001), hemorrhagic stroke (2.2% vs. 0.7%, p<0.001), and transient ischemic attack (TIA) (2.3% vs. 0.7%, p<0.001). After matching, the presence of PH was associated with increased ischemic stroke (OR: 1.2 [1.1-1.2]; p<0.001), hemorrhagic stroke (OR: 2.4 [2.1-2.6]; p<0.001) and TIA (OR: 2.2 [2.0-2.4]; p<0.001). PH patients also had increased length of stay (β = 0.8; p<0.001) mortality (OR: 1.1 [1.0-1.2]; p<0.001). CONCLUSION Apart from demonstrating the deleterious effect of PH on mortality and length of hospital stay, this study is the first to report on such a large scale that PH independently increases the incidence of all types of strokes in patients with Afib.

Abstract
COVID-19 is still around, and in the most severe cases can rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome. When mechanical ventilation fails to improve oxygenation, we desperately shift our management to venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO). In this opinion article, we discuss which patients are the most suitable to select for this technique, reiterate previous observations in acute respiratory distress syndrome, and the options for the patients judged not fitting for ECMO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although PSA screening has been rationalized, prostate cancer continues to have the highest incidence rate in 2021, and alone accounts for 26% of cancer diagnoses in men. A thorough review of the medical literature highlights a vast array of approved and investigational treatments for prostate cancer. Thus, selecting the best treatment option for the appropriate patient at the right time is crucial. Hence, biomarkers help in defining optimal patient stratification, revealing potential processes through which a drug might exert its impact and aid in the tailoring of treatments for efficient personalized medicine. AREAS COVERED This article is a pragmatic review of novel prostate cancer therapies that can help guide clinicians in tackling prostate cancer with the latest treatments. EXPERT OPINION Local radiotherapy has proven to be a game changer for low burden, de novo metastatic prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy continues to be the ultimate treatment. Delaying resistance to these agents will undoubtedly be a breakthrough in the treatment of prostate cancer. When it comes to metastatic castrate resistant disease, treatment options become narrower. PARP inhibitors and N-terminal domain inhibitors, offer new hope, and have a synergistic effect with immunotherapy adding promising agents to the therapeutic arsenal.

Abstract
Timely weaning of mechanical ventilation is clinically difficult, as both early and late discontinuations are associated with adverse events impeding the patient's favorable course in the critical care unit. Many parameters aid in judging whether the patient is going to be safely extubated; however, some remain deficient. We herein describe diaphragmatic ultrasound as a new modality for this purpose, detailing diaphragm excursion and thickness as means of it.

Abstract
Duodenocaval fistula (DCF) is a rare entity which is sparsely described in the literature. Few etiologies have been listed including chemoradiation therapy. Early recognition may reduce the high mortality rate. We describe the case of a 63-year-old woman with a history of stage III ovarian cancer treated with cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, including bevacizumab, who presented to the hospital because of fresh blood per rectum. One month earlier, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit because of hemorrhagic shock secondary to a necrotic duodenal ulcer and was treated with cauterization. The patient was stable when discharged home, however, she was readmitted to the hospital because of hematemesis and hematochezia and was again in hemorrhagic shock for which the patient was urgently transfused. An abdominal computerized tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated locules of air within the intrahepatic and infrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), as well as evidence of communication with the duodenal lumen, and a thrombus within the IVC. The patient was evaluated by the surgical oncology and vascular teams, who deemed the patient inoperable. Our case describes ovarian malignancy, treated by radiation, leading to duodenitis, with subsequent ulcer formation. The co-administration of bevacizumab delayed gastric healing and promoted ulcer perforation favoring fistula formation.

Abstract
Aim: HER2 is a proto-oncogene expressed in 10-30% of gastric adenocarcinomas and is an ideal target for inhibition in malignancy with high recurrence and dismal survival rates. Materials & methods: A systematic search was conducted via PubMed, Google Scholar and the clinicaltrials.gov database to report the results of ongoing and past studies investigating HER2 inhibitors in gastric cancer. Results: Twenty-five studies were included; ToGA trial is the pivotal trial approving the use of trastuzumab in metastatic gastric cancer, followed by more studies investigating other HER2 inhibitors in this setting, as well as in local and locoregional malignancy. Conclusion: Anti-HER2 molecules are proving efficacy and safety in gastric cancer; the evidence is growing and association with other cancer agents is under investigation.

Abstract
Intravesical BCG therapy has been for years, the standard of care in nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer. But upon recurrence/relapse, radical cystectomy is imposed, due to the paucity of other therapeutic options. Immunotherapy has been revolutionizing cancer treatment, and its indications continue to broaden. It has been approved for the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer of the bladder, mainly as a second-line therapy. Its activity is being studied in nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer that is not responsive to BCG; we herein report the trials investigating these checkpoint inhibitors (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab and avelumab) in this particular setting.
