This disorder is characterized by clinical heterogeneity. Heterogeneity results in a variable degree of hemolysis, causing irreversible cellular disruption. Invariably, PKD results in hereditary non-spherocytic anemia. Manifestations occur from the neonatal period through adult life. A myriad of complications could arise from hemolytic anemia.Publication Fatigue: It Is Not Always in the Head.(Springer, 2023-06-04) Zeb, Jehan; Zafar, Sana; Irshad, Zehra; Emergency Medicine; Medical; Medical and Dental; Zeb, Jehan; Zafar, Sana; Irshad, ZehraFatigue is a common presenting complaint in patients seen in clinics and same-day emergency care. Although it has a simple presentation, it can be challenging to diagnose and manage, particularly when an underlying medical condition presents atypically as fatigue. Here we present an interesting case of giant cell arteritis (GCA) with only fatigue as the presenting complaint. GCA is the inflammation of medium and large vessels in the body, including the aortic arch and its branches. It typically manifests above the age of 50 with headaches, jaw claudication, temporal tenderness, arthralgia, night sweats, and unintentional weight loss. Early diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance to prevent complications, particularly permanent blindness.Publication A woman with syncope and acidosis(Wiley Open Access, 2022-11) Malik, Adnan Ather; Nanthakumar, Aran; Mahdi, Dana; Alluri, Sai Venkatesh; Dhungana, Salonee; Bleehen, Laura; Maynard, Charlsea; Butt, Umar; Chacko, Jerry; Ali, M.
