چکیده

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor related colitis (“irColitis”) can range in severity from mild symptoms that may self resole with supportive therapy, to life-threatening disease. More severe cases require immunosuppression corticosteroids or biologic therapies, but there is little evidence about what do when these agents fail. In this article we present a case of irColitis was refractory established pharmacological treatments, then resolved after introduction Tacrolimus. Successful treatment Tacrolimus has not previously been reported and so finding will be significant for future research studies guidelines.

Thrombocytopenia in patients with melanoma receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy

BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including antibodies against programmed death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), are being used with increasing frequency for the treatment of cancer. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) including colitis, dermatitis, and pneumonitis are well described, but less frequent events are now emerging with larger numbers of patients treat...

Refractory Cardiogenic Shock from Right Ventricular Infarction Successfully Managed with Inhaled Epoprostenol

BACKGROUND Recognition and appropriate management of right ventricular (RV) infarction is essential, as RV injury increases mortality and substantially alters management during acute coronary syndrome. We report a case of RV infarction presenting with new right bundle branch block (RBBB), and therapeutic use of inhaled epoprostenol to reduce RV afterload and augment cardiac output during refrac...

Steroid-refractory extensive enteritis complicated by ulcerative colitis successfully treated with adalimumab

Extracolonic involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is extremely uncommon in ulcerative colitis (UC) and rarely found in the upper gastrointestinal tract or in postoperative cases since it typically responds to steroids. Here we report a case of UC complicated by extensive ileal inflammation that was refractory to steroids. A 20-year-old man was diagnosed with UC of typical pancolitis withou...
