Notable people with Erbs palsy
Notable individuals with Erbs palsy include Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, King of Prussia, the Palestinian psychiatrist Samah Jabr, and the Canadian journalist Barbara Frum. Martin Sheen was injured during birth and developed the condition in his left arm. His difference in arm length and range of motion can be seen in his work, especially Apocalypse Now and the jacket flip during The West Wing. Professional wrestler Traci Brooks has Erbs palsy and has achieved a successful career. Another is former Iowa Hawkeyes standout defensive lineman Adrian Clayborn. Gangster rapper and Academy Award winner DJ Paul of Three Six Mafia also has the condition in his arm, which he often hides by wearing a cast during public appearances. Teenage archery champion Faith Oakley, who has Erbs palsy affecting her right arm, uses her teeth to pull back the bow string to shoot the arrow.Military brace has also caused Erbs palsy in military school cadets.

Patients with fluid protein <15 g/L and either Child-Pugh score of at least 9 or impaired renal function may also benefit. Previous SBPPeople with cirrhosis admitted to the hospital should receive prophylactic antibiotics if:

They have bleeding esophageal varicesStudies on the use of rifaximin in cirrhotic patients, have suggested that its use may be effective in preventing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Treatment
Antibiotics
Although there is no high-quality evidence, the third-generation cephalosporins are considered the standard empirical treatment for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in people with cirrhosis.In  practice, cefotaxime is the agent of choice for treatment of SBP. After confirmation of SBP, hospital admission is usually advised for observation and intravenous antibiotic therapy.Where there is a risk of kidney malfunction developing in a syndrome called hepatorenal syndrome, intravenous albumin is usually administered too. Paracentesis may be repeated after 48 hours to ensure control of infection. After recovery from a single episode of SBP, indefinite prophylactic antibiotics are recommended. Prokinetics
The addition of a prokinetic drug to an antibiotic regimen reduces the incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis possibly via decreasing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Intravenous albumin
A randomized controlled trial found that intravenous albumin on the day of admission and on hospital day 3 can reduce kidney impairment. Epidemiology
Patients with ascites underwent routine paracentesis, the incidence of active SBP ranged from 10% to 27% at the time of hospital admission. History
SBP was first described in 1964 by Harold O. Conn.
