  • Timely diagnosis of emphysematous pyelitis by point-of-care ultrasound in an outpatient setting prevented infection spread: a case report and review of the literature
    Octavio J. Salgado, Angela M. Vidal, Abhilash Koratala, Zoila K. Salazar-Torres, Hermel M. Espinosa
    Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2025
    BACKGROUND: Emphysematous pyelitis represents the initial stage of emphysematous pyelonephritis, a rare and potentially life-threatening necrotizing renal infection caused by gas-forming bacteria. Diabetes mellitus and/or lithiasis constitute significant risk factors for such conditions. Renal point-of-care ultrasound is an invaluable diagnostic tool for the early detection of gas within the kidney and urinary tract. The present case provides an illustrative example of the crucial importance of routinely using renal point-of-care ultrasound in every patient with a suspected urinary tract infection in an outpatient setting. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55 year-old hypertensive, non-diabetic female patient of Wayuu indigenous ethnicity was evaluated for mild-to-moderate right flank pain accompanied by slight fever at night. She was referred to the renal outpatient clinic with a presumptive urinary tract infection. In the context of a systemic review for symptoms, the patient reports expulsion of gas bubbles during urination. She was evaluated by ultrasound, which detected gas in the pyelocaliceal system. A computed tomography scan confirmed this. The patient was admitted to the hospital and started on intravenous therapy with ceftriaxone. Urine culture revealed the presence of E. coli > 100 CFU sensitive to ceftriaxone. The response to antibiotherapy was favorable, with remission of clinical symptoms and moderate leukocytosis observed at the time of admission. CONCLUSION: Routine point-of-care ultrasound evaluation should be part of the physical evaluation of every patient presenting with a suspected upper urinary tract infection in the renal outpatient clinic.
  • Maximizing use of available vascular capital for autologous arteriovenous fistula creation and maintenance: Single center results
    Alexis Garcia-Lopez, Leyla Abdalah, Octavio J Salgado, Tushar J Vachharajani
    Journal of Vascular Access, 2025
    Introduction: Nicaragua is a Central American country with a high prevalence of patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly among young men. This is largely attributable to Mesoamerican nephropathy, a form of interstitial nephritis that predominantly affects young agricultural workers. While the majority of patients have access to chronic dialysis programs, a very small number have an option of receiving a renal transplant. Consequently, they must spend years on hemodialysis (HD), where the vascular access issue is of vital importance for their survival. Given that prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVG) are expensive devices with a lower cost-benefit ratio, limited availability within the health system and are unaffordable for the majority of patients, it is crucial to perform autogenic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) whenever possible. Patients and methods: This paper presents a 4-year period review (2020–2023) of a single-center vascular access program that optimizes vasculature utilization of each patient for creation of AFV and describes the surgical revision techniques used to prolong the patency of vascular accesses. Results: The autogenic vascular access program has resulted in more than 80% of prevalent patients undergoing HD at our center being hemodialyzed through an autogenic AVF by the end of 2023. Conclusions: It can be concluded that it is possible to significantly increase the proportion of autogenic vascular accesses in each center by optimizing the patient’s own vasculature. This approach has the potential to reduce morbidity and costs, particularly in low-income countries.
  • Point-of-care ultrasound training in nephrology: A position statement by the International Alliance for POCUS in Nephrology

    Clinical Kidney Journal, 2024
    Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has rapidly evolved from a niche technology to an indispensable tool across medical specialties, including nephrology. This evolution is driven by advancements in technology and the visionary efforts of clinicians in emergency medicine and beyond. Recognizing its potential, medical schools are increasingly integrating POCUS into training curricula, emphasizing its role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient care. Despite these advancements, barriers such as limited faculty expertise and ‘lack of’ standardized guidelines hinder widespread adoption and regulation. The International Alliance for POCUS in Nephrology (IAPN), through this position statement, aims to guide nephrologists in harnessing the diagnostic power of POCUS responsibly and effectively. By outlining core competencies, recommending training modalities and advocating for robust quality assurance measures, we envision a future where POCUS enhances nephrology practice globally, ensuring optimal patient outcomes through informed, evidence-based decision-making. International collaboration and education are essential to overcome current challenges and realize the full potential of POCUS in nephrology and beyond.
  • Pyelo-hepatic abscess caused by staghorn stone infection: a case report
    Octavio J. Salgado, Katherine S. Pesantes-Barros, Beatriz C. Rosales, Lizette Espinosa-Martin
    Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2023
    Background The most common source of pyogenic liver abscess is biliary tract infection. Other less common routes include the spread of bacteria from distant foci. However, direct extension of a perinephric infection focus to the liver is extremely rare. Case report The patient was a non-diabetic, immunocompetent, 29-year-old woman of mixed race ancestry with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections who was referred to our hospital because of an ultrasound-detected liver abscess. She was initially treated with metronidazole for 20 days at the referring institution for suspected amebic abscess without improvement. On admission to our center, she was febrile and complained of a dull right upper quadrant pain. A POCUS ultrasound suggested a pyogenic abscess, probably from a staghorn calculus infection. She received meroperem and amikacin for 22 and 10 days, respectively. Repeat hemocultures showed no growth, but urine cultures were positive for Proteus sp. Complete remission of clinical and imaging findings was observed under antibiotics. The patient was referred to the urology outpatient clinic to discuss the option of radical nephrectomy. Conclusion This case underlines the high morbidity of staghorn calculi.
  • Acute hemodialysis catheter follows the path of least resistance
    Octavio J Salgado, Tushar J Vachharajani
    Journal of Vascular Access, 2023
    The placement of large bore double-lumen catheters for hemodialysis (HD) is one of the most frequent procedures performed in HD patients. However, these procedures are associated with complications, the most common being catheter malposition. In this context, catheter deviation to the left superior intercostal vein (LISV) is a very uncommon malposition, which must be differentiated from intrathoracic extravascular catheter lodgment. We report a case of an adult male patient on hemodialysis who presented with a thrombosed arteriovenous fistula and requiring urgent HD. His past medical history included hemophilia, allergy to contrast media, and multiple previous central vein catheterizations. A non-tunneled HD catheter was placed without any difficulty in the left internal jugular vein. However, the arterial lumen failed to pull any blood with free flow in the venous lumen. A chest X-ray revealed a surprising finding. The malpositioned catheter was removed successfully without any complications.
  • Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum in a 15-Year-Old Adolescent After Unintended Overexposure to Paint Diluent (Thinner) Fumes: First Reported Case
    Tania P Barzallo, Claudia A Marchan, Octavio J Salgado, Hermel M Espinosa
    Therapeutic Advances in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, 2023
    Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is the presence of air in the mediastinal interstices in the absence of any surgical or medical procedure, chest trauma, or mechanical ventilation. SPM can occur during vigorous Valsalva maneuvers, such as weight lifting, coughing fits, hyperemesis gravidarum, and so on, or during inhalation of illicit substances or toxic agents, as a result of an abrupt increase in pressure in the tracheal tree. Preexisting underlying lung disease may be a contributing factor. In the present case, we report for the first time an SPM due to accidental overexposure to paint thinner in a 15-year-old male from a low-income rural family. He was offered a job painting the inside of a house, which he accepted to earn some money for the family household. However, due to his inexperience, he overdosed on a can of paint with thinner. About 2 h after starting work, he began to feel increasingly severe chest pain and had to be rushed to the local level one basic hospital by his parents. Physical examination revealed subcutaneous emphysema over the supraclavicular area and crackles in the precordial area. Chest radiographs showed a pneumomediastinum. In retrospect, the patient denied coughing or sneezing attacks after exposure. He was transferred to a regional tertiary hospital for further diagnostic evaluation to rule out airway/esophageal perforation. Chest computed tomography confirmed underlying SPM and subcutaneous emphysema. The oesophagogram and bronchoscopy were unremarkable. SPM, possibly secondary to overexposure to thinner vapors, a hydrocarbon-based compound, was the final diagnosis. The patient was discharged asymptomatic on day 5.
  • Myiasis in a Neglected Elderly: Urgent Action Needed in South America
    Hermel Espinosa, Octavio J Salgado, Lizette Espinosa-Martin, Katherine Salazar-Torres
    International Medical Case Reports Journal, 2022
    Background Myiasis is an infestation by fly larvae. Some species exclusively affect humans, contaminating wounds, mucous membranes, and other tissues. It is a disease with marked socioeconomic connotations. Case Presentation The current case involves a 95-year-old woman, an inhabitant of the Andean region of Ecuador with a history of resection of basal cell carcinoma in the left zygomatic region and a diagnosis of chronic leukemia. The surgical wound was secondarily infested with Cochliomyia hominivorax fly larvae and the patient was readmitted to the hospital to treat this complication. A marked clinical improvement was observed after surgical debridement, removal of larvae and administration of ivermectin and antibiotics. Conclusion The determinants of this infestation were advanced age, neglect, and destitution in a patient with an open wound on the face after resection of a basal cell carcinoma. This case illustrates the appalling reality of the marginalized and excluded population of South America. Also of concern is the expansion of myiasis-producing fly populations to areas outside their natural humid and warm habitat. South American governments are called upon to act jointly and effectively against this ominous disease.
