Pt is a 48F who presents due to spontaneous pneumothorax. Tx was chest tube insertion followed by blebectomy and partial pleurectomy. However, the most interesting thing about this case is the presence of an Azygous lobe of the lung. This anatomical variant occurs when the posterior cardinal vein (developmental precursor to the AV) fails to migrate superiorally during development, creating a pleural septum, and a separate lobe. The vein can be seen inferiomedial to a bleb in the right lung on image number 1. The septum can be seen extending superiorly over the vein toward the lung apex.
75F brought by EMS to ED presented with severe AMS (mostly unresponsive), bradycardia, temp: 89.1F, otherwise normal VS. Family reported: mental changes over the past week and pt said her shoes weren't fitting on her feet. Repeat ABG indicates BiPAP did not improve patient's condition. Family later reported that pt told sister she did not need to take her thyroid medicine. Thyroid tests lead to the ED MD's dx of Myxedema-coma with no IV T3 in the area, due to the severity of her condition, family asked for comfort care.

patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family, are there any features in this ekg that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric ekg?
