Impending cardiac tamponade as a primary presentation of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
A 37-year-old woman with a history of psoriatic arthritis presented to the emergency department with back pain radiating to the upper abdomen for 1 week with no other associated symptoms. Physical examination revealed normal vital signs, mild enlargement of the thyroid gland, jugular venous distension and distant heart sounds. Laboratory results revealed elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone at 134.76 U/mL, decreased free T4 at 0.27 ng/dL and T3 at 1.7 ng/dL.
Spontaneous rectus sheath haematoma due to cough on apixaban
A 69-year-old woman on apixaban for 4 years due to her atrial fibrillation presented with severe left lower abdominal pain. She was discharged from the hospital 4 days prior after treatment for influenza and had finished a course of oseltamivir. She did not receive any heparin products and was continued on apixaban during that admission. A few hours before presentation, she reported coughing severely with sudden onset of excruciating abdominal pain. She denied trauma or injury to the abdomen.
Aripiprazole-induced hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic agent commonly used in the management of schizophrenia. Aripiprazole has not been reported to have an association with interstitial lung disease. We describe a case of a 36-year-old woman who began to experience respiratory issues shortly after starting aripiprazole and presented to us 4 years later with progressive exertional shortness of breath. High-resolution CT of the chest showed a bilateral ground glass pattern.
Unusual metallic penile foreign body
A man aged 85 years with severe dementia was brought to the emergency room by his wife because of gross haematuria and increasing agitation for a few days. Blood pressure was 89/56?mm?Hg, heart rate 96?bpm and oxygen saturation 94% on room air.
