Abstract:
Percutaneous device closure is an established method to treat pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). This report describes the case of a 23-year-old man with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) presenting with dyspnea and hypoxia. The patient was found to have a giant left-sided PAVM. The patient underwent percutaneous closure of PAVM with multiple devices with a good outcome. At 12-month follow up, the patient was asymptomatic with near complete obliteration of the arteriovenous malformation. <Learning objective: This case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of using multiple devices to treat pulmonary arteriovenous malformation percutaneously. Good short-term (12-month) outcomes are demonstrated and there were no complications.>.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
