Two months prior, her temperature fluctuated between 37.4 and 38.4°C in the afternoons, and chills and a dry cough accompanied this symptom. She had previously undergone examination and symptomatic treatment at a regional hospital. However, the treatment was ineffective. Furthermore, arthralgia and fatigue gradually appeared, with no chest pain and tightness, or rash. A month and a half prior, she was diagnosed with depression and treated with escitalopram oxalate, and magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets at a hospital. The symptoms slightly improved after treatment. Half a month prior, a B-ultrasonic examination showed lymphadenopathy throughout her body. Therefore, lymphoma was suspected but she did not get any treatment. One day prior to her arrival at our hospital, the patient suddenly developed hemoptysis of approximately 2 ml, which occurred four times for no reason. Past medical history revealed that she was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in 2014 and developed cirrhosis a year later. Her CHB was well-controlled by a long-term oral antiviral treatment with Entecavir. In addition, she had lost 5 kg over the past 3 months. +On admission, her temperature was 37°C, respiratory rate was 19 breathe⋅min–1, heart rate was 70 beat⋅min–1, and blood pressure was 103/72 mmHg. The liver, spleen, lymph nodes of the neck, and axillary lymph nodes were enlarged with moderate activity and no tenderness. Rough breath sounds were detected in both lungs with dry and wet rales. All other clinical examination results were negative. +Laboratory examination revealed inflammation and liver dysfunction: red cell count, 4.27 × 1012/L (4–4.5 × 1012/L); white cell count, 4.87 × 109/L (5–12 × 109/L); platelet count 89 × 109/L (125–350 × 109/L), hypersensitive C-reactive protein 9.81 mg/L (0–3 mg/L), direct bilirubin 6.2 μmol/L (0–3.4 μmol/L), aspartate aminotransferase, 54 U/L (13–45 U/L); alanine aminotransferase, 20 U/L (7–40 U/L); alkaline phosphatase, 164 U/L (35–100 U/L); γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, 82 U/L (7–45 U/L), albumin 33.8 g/L (40–55 g/L). +B-scan ultrasonography revealed bilateral cervical and axillary lymphadenopathies. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple pulmonary nodules in both lungs, with a small amount of pleural effusion and enlarged lymph nodes in the bilateral axilla. To effectively confirm the nature of the lesion, we performed needle biopsies of pulmonary nodules and lymph nodes. The results implied an infectious disease, while the detection of T cells in tuberculosis infection was negative. Therefore, suspicions of tumors and tuberculosis were excluded. +Interestingly, we noticed that the patient came from Ningxia province, which is famous for animal husbandry. The patient reluctantly informed us that she raised cattle and had come into contact with neighboring sheep without vaccination. Consequently, Brucella infection was suspected. On the fourth day of admission, the serum agglutination test (SAT) result was 1:800, and the rose-bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT) result was positive. Furthermore, the blood culture for Brucella melitensis was positive on the tenth day after admission. Characteristic rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria could be observed under a microscope. Subsequently, the patient was definitively diagnosed with brucellosis. +Following the brucellosis diagnosis, she received antibiotic therapy with rifampicin (600 mg/dose, once a day) and doxycycline (100 mg/dose, twice a day) for 3 months from the fourth day of the course. Furthermore, due to the poor medical conditions of the patient’s residence and excessive complications, including multipulmonary nodules, arthralgia, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy, moxifloxacin and ceftriaxone sodium were added from the sixth day of the course to prevent the possibility of developing drug-resistant brucellosis after discharge. During treatment, the patient and her family were highly cooperative. At discharge, fever, cough, arthralgia, depression and fatigue were relieved. After 2 months of follow-up, the fever and cough were gone, as was fatigue and arthralgia. In addition, the number of multiple nodules in both lungs was reduced. At the same time, liver function test results also indicated that the patient was recovering well. After 3 months of follow-up, her weight had increased and her depression symptoms were alleviated.

For the rectus femoris, the patient was positioned supine on a traction table. A midline incision, in line with the quadriceps tendon, was made at the site of tendon rupture from the tendon stump to the proximal patella. The distal stump of the rectus femoris was isolated circumferentially. There was approximately 4 mm of relatively thin rectus femoris tendon stump remaining. The tendon stump was sutured with multiple loops of Fiberwire (Arthrex, Naples, FL). The Achilles allograft was then obtained and sutured medially and laterally in a running Krackow fashion.

Fiberwire (Arthrex, Naples FL) was utilized to connect the tendon graft to the remaining rectus femoris tendon stump in a Krakow fashion medially and laterally. Attempting to balance anatomic location versus graft/tendon tension, the rectus femoris complex was pulled over the distal intact quadriceps tendon. While maintaining tension, #2 Fiberwire (Arthrex, Naples, FL) was passed in a running Krakow fashion medially and laterally through the graft and quadriceps tendon from musculotendinous margin to the proximal patella and back. Once completed, the graft and rectus femoris had excellent stability throughout knee range of motion. +For the hip arthroscopic procedure, the hip was placed under traction. Three portals were utilized: Anterolateral, mid-anterior, and distal anterolateral accessory. Diagnostic arthroscopy demonstrated a labral tear from the 12:30 to 3:00 position.

Traction was then released and restoration of the suction seal nature of the labrum was confirmed. Attention was then turned to the arthroscopic femoroplasty. The convex protuberance of bone consistent with a CAM lesion was noted at the 1–3 o’clock position. A burr was used to recontour the femoral head-and-neck junction to a concave structure. This was confirmed by direct visualization and intraoperative radiographs. +Following the arthroscopic procedure, the rectus femoris reconstruction was rechecked and intact. All skin incisions were then closed and dressed. +Postoperatively, the patient was placed in a locked knee immobilizer and recommend toe-touch weightbearing for 3 weeks.

Although the PS was allowing slight decompression of the left intrahepatic bile duct (B2), marked biliary dilation persisted; thus, the PS was deemed ineffective for B3, while no biliary dilation was found around the PSs placed in B5 and B7, so these were deemed to be effective. Marked dilation of B6 and B8 was noted, and drainage was deemed necessary . On the basis of the above findings, we planned preoperatively that an additional PS would be placed in the deep part of B3 and several other PSs would be replaced (B6 and B8). The entire ERCP procedure was performed under the combination of fluoroscopic images of a standard side-view duodenoscope (EDT-580, FUJIFILM, Tokyo, Japan) and the 3D images. This procedure was performed using a multipurpose imaging system incorporating a C-arm (VersiFlex Apla, HITACHI corporation Tokyo, Japan). During the actual ERCP procedure, endoscopists could see the endoscope video (a), the 3D image of the bile ducts that rotate freely (b), and the 2D fluoroscopic image (c) at the same time . With the 3D images for preoperative planning and intraoperative reference, biliary drainage was successfully performed without complications . Postoperatively, the patient had no further cholangitis or need for stent replacement up to his death. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1103_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1103_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..065974fd15ae956765eb4c49215b732c33f47bfd --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1103_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 75-year-old Japanese man was found to have a pancreatic cyst in 2006 while undergoing postoperative evaluation for colorectal cancer.

During laparotomy, we discovered 2 perforations on the ileum and general peritonitis with pus. We performed an enterectomy, about 20 cm of ileum, and an end-ileostomy with a mucous fistula on the distal ileum, saline lavage, four drainages, and a laparostomy. Following surgery, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). We initiated empirical therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics with ertapenem and vancomycin. The antibiogram from the peritoneal liquid revealed S. putrefaciens, S. cerevisiae, and Candida species susceptible to amikacin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, third-generation cephalosporins, and fluconazole. On the second day following surgery, we intervened again, and we discovered multiple intraperitoneal abscesses. We washed the patient once more, drained, and treated him surgically with a laparostomy. From the peritoneal liquid, Acinetobacter baumannii developed that were susceptible to colistin, and the same bacteria was discovered within the tracheal secretion. The patient remained on mechanical ventilation, inotropic support, and sedated. Fever (38.5 ºC), leukocytosis (22850/μL), high lactate (31.5), very high inflammatory markers (presepsin, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein), and higher inotropic support (from 10 to 25 μg/hour of norepinephrine) convinced us to repeat the intervention including both washing and laparostomy with negative pressure. Until the 11th day following surgery, the patient remained intubated, with inotropic support, had high fever (38 ºC), and very grave general status-MODS. He also had septic shock, with a positive antibiogram from the venous catheter for Klebsiella pneumoniae susceptible to sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim, and for Staphylococcus hominis susceptible to vancomycin and levofloxacin. From the tracheal secretion, the bacteria found in the peritoneal liquid (A. baumannii) was sampled analogously. Every other day, we repeated the intervention to change the kit for intra-abdominal negative pressure. On the 12th day following surgery, the general status of the patient had improved. Thus, he no longer remained intubated, was hemodynamically stable, without inotropic support, with spontaneous respirations, and had a functional ileostomy. We changed 6 kits of negative abdominal pressure, the antibiogram from the peritoneal cavity was positive once again for Klebsiella and Acinetobacter with antibiotic therapy . During the last 3 interventions, we progressively closed the abdomen, and upon the 10th repeated intervention, we closed the entire abdomen, after which the patient was discharged from the ICU after 20 days where he had been administered many doses of antibiotherapy. The patient was discharged from the surgery unit on the 30th day after admission and had completely recovered. +After 6 months, the patient returned to close the ileostomy, and after another 8 months, he returned with a median postoperative hernia . Given both the large defect and due to the weight gained, we chose to resolve the hernia with an intraperitoneal mesh. This method was unsuccessful, and even the antibiogram was negative; the patient developed ulceration of the skin which was resolved surgically. We removed the mesh and performed a muscular-cutaneous flap . Written informed consent was obtained from the patient who participated in this case. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1191_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1191_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2e80ec79d563f3e83a2b809fbd70eac497b5ae65 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1191_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 40-year old woman was referred to our clinic in 2003 after detection of multiple lesions in both hepatic lobes during routine ultrasound examination.

Apart from a moderate hepatomegaly, physical examination was unremarkable. Routine laboratory findings were within normal limits without indication of liver disease or advanced malignancy. Likewise, chromogranin A, serotonin and 5-HIAA were within normal range. Sonographically the lesions were of high echogenicity with a hypoechoic halo. The largest lesion found in segment VI had a diameter of 6.8 cm. Multiple additional hepatic lesions were spread throughout both lobes with a size of approximately 1 cm. A CT-guided core biopsy was performed to establish histopathological diagnosis. Histological analysis of the biopsy material showed a G1 neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) with a low proliferation rate (Ki-67 < 1%) . +For tumor staging, abdominal imaging by MRI and a chest CT scan were performed which confirmed multiple bilobular hepatic lesions with no option for complete surgical removal. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) showed a positive receptor status of the hepatic lesions. Colonoscopy identified the primary tumor in the rectum: 5 cm from the anus a polyp with 1 cm diameter was found and endoscopically removed by snare biopsy. Microscopical analysis confirmed a G1 NEN with similar histological appearance as seen in the hepatic metastases . Due to the positive somatostatin (SMS) receptor status treatment with octreotide was started. 6 months later, however, a restaging revealed progression of the liver metastases. As there was no evidence of extrahepatic manifestation we decided to perform a transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) of the hepatic lesions. The patient received in total 7 TACE interventions without complications over a period of 2 years. Over a follow-up period of 7 years without further anti-cancer therapy up to the present, MRI revealed stable disease according to RECIST criteria. +In 2013, however, the patient presented to the general practitioner with hoarseness as well as tenderness on palpation and stabbing pain in the right lower jaw, the mandibular joint and the right part of the tounge.

A thorough neurological examination including cranial computed tomography, MRI with MR-angiography and a time of flight (TOF)-imaging as well as ENT examination was not instrumental to establish a diagnosis. However, a lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) puncture revealed a pleocytosis (19 cells/μl) as well as an intrathecal protein synthesis (IgG), both in accordance with an inflammatory process in the brain. Unremarkable CSF parameters included negative PCR’s for herpes simplex I and II virus, Epstein Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella zoster and toxoplasma as well as negative bacterial cultures, cryptococcus antigen, and cytology examination for malignant cells. Transcranial magnetic stimulation showed an increased latency between the primary motor cortex and the left arm, whereas the right arm and both legs showed normal conduction. Serologic investigation of onconeural antibodies showed a highly positive titer for anti-Ri (1:2560, normal <80). The positive indirect immunofluorescence technique (IIFT) was validated with immunoblotting, which substantiated the isolated presence of the Ri-antibodies . As a result of this the diagnosis paraneoplastic brainstem encephalitis was established. An intravenous methylprednisolone therapy with 500 mg for 5 days led to rapid improvement of the patients neurological symptoms with concomitant decline of the anti-Ri titer from 1:2560 to 1:320. On follow-up 3 months after steroid therapy, the patient is currently completely asymptomatic.

On day 6, the closed thoracic drainage tube was removed. On day 9, the patient was discharged from the hospital without any complications. +Anemia (hemoglobin 85 g/L). +Focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) has been extensively utilized and studied in blunt and penetrating trauma. Following the FAST protocol, organ damage can be rapidly evaluated by the amount of free fluid in the chest, abdominal, and pelvic cavities. In this case, preoperative emergency ultrasound examination of the heart, chest and abdomen found that spleen had been ruptured and active bleeding was complicated by progressive hemochrome reduction, which was also the main reason for the patient to undergo emergency surgery. Preoperative ultrasound showed no abnormalities in the heart or chest. Following the BLUE protocol, LUS confirmed that the pleural slide sign had disappeared in the recommended area of the left lung, and in M-mode, an obvious parallel line sign was seen below the pleura .

In this period, the patient had sustained a rib fracture and left humeral fracture. There was no history of diabetes, hypertension or any other chronic disease. She had not been on any form of medication, including steroids and traditional drugs widely available and prescribed in the region, prior to the onset of pain. At the time of the fractures, she had been placed on non steroidal anti inflammatory agents, acetaminophen and tramadol. There was no history of illicit drug use and she was a non smoker. Family history was unremarkable, particularly in the context of bone disease, and malignancy. +Initial laboratory investigations had shown a mildly elevated total calcium level of 10.8 mg/dL {2.7 mmol/L}-(no albumin level result available from that time for correction). Parathormone levels (PTH) had not been determined. There was no vitamin d or renal function report available from that time. X-Ray pelvis revealed lytic lesions in the right iliac bone . A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine showed some signal changes. The differentials based on the MRI were metastatic bone disease or multiple myeloma. +Serum protein electrophoresis was normal. The patient then got lost to follow-up. Her work up was resumed 4 years later when her bone pains had started flaring up. Bone marrow examinations done back in 2007, and later in 2009, were negative for multiple myeloma. A bone scan in November 2009 showed generalized increased tracer uptake over the skull and both the axial and appendicular skeletons- findings in favor of metabolic bone disease . An initial planar parathyroid sestamibi scan requested by a general practitioner in November 2009 was negative for any functioning parathyroid adenoma in the neck or superior mediastinum. No serum PTH report was available from this time either. Following this workup, the patient was treated empirically for bone pains with calcium supplements, an empiric vitamin d injection, and intravenous zoledronic acid 5 mg (without prior bone mineral density assessment via DXA scan). This empiric treatment was instituted by an orthopedic surgeon whom she had been referred to. The patient experienced only a slight improvement in bone pains with this treatment and also developed nausea, vomiting and anorexia. Subsequently, she sought care at the National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Dow University Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan. +At presentation, the patient was well oriented and of functional class 3 (wheel chair bound, able to walk only with support). Her blood pressure was 110/70 mmHg. Neck examination revealed no mass or lymphadenopathy. She had a significant proximal myopathy as well as curved thighs. She had shortened fingers, and spinal scoliosis was evident. Severe generalized bone tenderness was elicited. There was no focal deficit. Laboratory investigations at this time showed a calcium level of 15.1 mg/dL{3.775 mmol/L}, (corrected for albumin of 3.6 mg/dL{36 g/L}); Vitamin D3 level of 33.92 ng/mL{84.664 nmol/L}; phosphorus 2.3 mg/dL {0.743 mmol/L}and alkaline phosphatase of 1298 IU/L {21.633 µkat/L}. Her 24 h urine calcium was 155 mg/day {3.875 mmol/day}, with urine calcium to creatinine ratio of 0.02. Her creatinine level was 1.3 mg/dL {114.92 µmol/L}. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (calculated through Cockcroft-Gault equation) was 50 mL/min {0.835 mL/second). +Following these tests, the patient’s PTH level was ordered and determined to be 2105 pg/mL {2105 ng/L} [Table ]. Ultrasonography of the neck showed a solid hypo echoic, well-circumscribed mass lesion, measuring 1.8 × 1.2 cm at the lower pole of the right lobe of thyroid. There were no calcifications or lymphadenopathy. Appearances were suggestive of parathyroid adenoma. Both lobes of the thyroid appeared normal. A repeat planar sestamibi scan, (requested from a different institute in the city), revealed areas of tracer retention over upper and lower poles of the right lobe of thyroid. The intensity of retained tracer was more over the right inferior parathyroid gland. The findings were highly suggestive of hyperparathyroidism . +A bone mineral density scan showed a T score of − 2.9 in the spine, − 3.8 in the hip and − 4.5 in the distal forearm, consistent with severe osteoporosis. The Z scores at the spine, hip and distal forearm were − 2.0, − 3.1 and − 3.6, respectively . +Ultrasonography of the kidneys revealed a single renal stone (0.6 cm) and no neprocalcinosis. +Based on the biochemistry results of hypercalcemia, associated with elevated PTH levels, a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism was made. Subsequent sestamibi scan and neck imaging facilitated us to localize the abnormal parathyroid gland. The DXA scan was useful for evaluation of the bone mineral density. In view of the phenomenally high levels of parathyroid hormone, (more than 10 times upper limit of normal), the pre-operative suspicion of parathyroid cancer was high [, ]. The patient was rehydrated with intravenous fluids. Subcutaneous calcitonin injections at a dose of 4 units/kg every 12 h were administered to tide her over until the surgery. Once her calcium levels had come down to 10.5 mg/dL {2.625 nmol/L}L, she was operated upon. At surgery, right hemithyroidectomy and inferior parathyroidectomy with level six lymph node resection was done. The lymphadenectomy was performed as there was evidence of enlarged lymph nodes at neck exploration. The size of the lesion was measured as 2.5 × 1.5 × 1 cm. Histopathology showed features consistent with parathyroid cancer . Capsular invasion and focal vascular invasion were noted. However, margins of excision were tumor free. The excised lymph nodes did not show evidence of tumour infiltration. The patient was not given external radiation therapy postoperatively. Literature review revealed that post operative adjuvant radiation therapy may only have a role in the management of patients with a histologically positive margin following en bloc resection, or in those with lymph node metastases [, , ]. +Postoperative PTH level, performed on the second day of surgery, was 59 pg/mL {59 ng/L} (16–87). On the third postoperative day, the patient’s serum corrected calcium declined to 6 mg/dL {1.5 mmol/L}. This was associated with paresthesias around her mouth and carpo-pedal spasm. There were no seizures, although there was some confusion in terms of time and place. Intravenous calcium (2 g calcium gluconate, equivalent to 180 mg elemental calcium, in 50 mL 5% dextrose water) was infused over 20 min. Re-monitoring of calcium levels revealed persistent hypocalcemia. A slow infusion of calcium was initiated at an initial rate of 50 mL/h. This was prepared by adding 100 mL of 10% calcium gluconate (equivalent to 900 mg elemental calcium) to 1000 mL 5% dextrose water. The infusion rate was adjusted, with a goal to maintain calcium levels at lower end of normal range. On the fifth post-operative day, the calcium level had risen to 9.0 mg/dL {2.25 nmol/L}. Neurologic examination was normal and she was tolerating oral diet. Oral calcium supplementation was initiated (Qalsan D four times daily-equivalent to 2 g elemental calcium per day). She was discharged on oral calcium and vitamin D supplementation with active vitamin D, (calcitriol) 0.25 µg twice daily, in a stable condition. +At follow-up, her appetite and mobility had improved significantly, although she continued to experience bone pains. Corrected calcium was 9.5 mg/dL {2.375 nmol/L}. A repeat skeletal scintigraphy done 3 months after parathyroidectomy did not demonstrate a significant change in the lytic lesions . A repeat DXA scan 2 years down the line revealed a significant improvement in bone mineral density at all sites, though more so at the spine and hip, than at the forearm . Thereafter, we followed her clinically, as she was not keen to have further radiologic testing done. We have been monitoring her calcium and PTH levels on an annual basis. They have remained within their normal range till date (2018).

Thymic carcinoid is classified as MEN-1 and has a poor prognosis; thus, we decided to remove the tumor. The patient was intubated with a double-lumen endotracheal tube for one-lung ventilation under general anesthesia and positioned in the left lateral decubitus position. A 5-cm skin incision was made at the fifth intercostal space (ICS) in the anterior axillary line, and a wound protector (Gel POINT Mini Advanced Access Platform, Applied Medical, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, USA) was placed at the subcutaneous muscular layer . Through the wound protector, an 8-mm camera port was placed at the fifth ICS in the anterior axillary line as the second arm. Two 8-mm assisted ports were inserted at the fourth and sixth ICS on the anterior side as the first and third arms, respectively . The distance between each port was about 3 cm. After the da Vinci® Xi (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was positioned; a robotic arm was mounted to each port with a bipolar fenestrated grasping forceps on the first arm and a monopolar spatula on the third arm. The rigid 30° oblique viewing endoscope was used. Carbon dioxide (CO2) was insufflated at a set pressure of 5 mmHg. Depending on the situation, the robotic instruments on the left and right arms were replaced and da Vinci® Vessel Sealer Extend (Intuitive Surgical) instruments were also used. Part of the thymic and pericardial fat including the tumor was dissected from the inferior side, and complete dissection was performed from the cranial side, resulting in the removal of the tumor. To prevent robotic arm collisions, the left and right forceps were moved vertically with the endoscope in between . The final histopathologic examination diagnosed the tumor as a thymic carcinoid tumor . Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed the presence of a number of atypical pleomorphic cells. Immunohistochemical staining showed the presence of neuroendocrine markers chromogranin A, synaptophysin, cytokeratin AE1/3, and Ki-67 (5–10%) . Thus, confirmation of a thymic carcinoid tumor was obtained.

Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed ascites and showed a heterogeneous mass of the left ovary measuring 8.4 × 6.8 cm with adipose, solid and cystic regions that were suggestive of a dermoid cyst. The right ovary and uterus seemed normal. No other lesion was seen in the rest of the body, notably in the digestive system. In this context, surgery by left oophorectomy with appendicectomy and omentectomy was performed 3 months after the first consultation, without resorting to additional hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Intra-operative examination revealed mucinous material inside the peritoneal cavity and a normal digestive tract with a normal appendix. There was no complication of the surgery.

We suspected a hemolytic reaction due to the presence of a slightly increased aspartate aminotransferase, although bilirubin and lactase dehydrogenase level were within the normal limits. The hyperkalemia improved with the polystyrene sulfonate calcium. The irregular antibody screening was positive. Therefore, 6 units of packed RBCs and a blood salvage device (electa™; Sorin Group Italia, Italy) were prepared.

We initiated blood salvage procedures and started transfusion of 2 units of prepared packed RBCs using a potassium adsorption filter. After that, 190 ml of the first salvaged autologous RBCs were re-infused. Blood examination results to check K+ concentration levels in the transfer bag showed a high level of 6.2 mmol/L in the salvaged RBCs.

During a 6-month period, however, multiple relapses occurred, each time following completion of antibiotics and a subsequent FDG PET-CT scan showed increased metabolic activity in the graft, pleura, pericardium, sternum and substernal fat, lymph nodes and spleen . The decision to re-operate was then made; the infected Dacron graft was removed and a bovine pericardium graft was inserted, 9 months after the first operation. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) was isolated in graft’s cultures and IV daptomycin was administered for 6 weeks post-operatively. Patient remained asymptomatic at 22 months follow-up after second surgery and 18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed significant reduction in FDG uptake. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_127_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_127_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..742e68567f5ee9d975635a3a0f0b692ec1810968 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_127_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +An 81-year-old Caucasian woman presented to the outpatient clinic of our hospital with nasal obstruction, headache and diplopia.

The patient ate mangoes at 4:00 a.m. and began experiencing diarrhea at noon, at 10:00 a.m. The patient had taken ciprofloxacillin at 11:00 a.m. from the student clinic without any clinical investigations based on his clinical manifestations due to the inaccessibility of laboratory investigations and diagnostic equipment, and he recovered totally from the illness after 2 days. No one in his family had previously been diagnosed with typhoid fever. +Recently, the patient traveled to a desert environment and malarious area for work and stayed there for 1 year. When he returned home after 1 year, he bought pineapple from the vegetable seller on the street, ate it after 3 days without putting it in the refrigerator, and experienced the above clinical manifestations after 12 hours. The patient said, ‘I was suspecting typhoid fever because the pineapple I ate was overripe’, and then the physician decided to identify the disease type through laboratory investigations and diagnostic criteria and started undergoing it. First, the physician had performed a laboratory investigation to identify malarial parasites in peripheral blood via thin and thick smears, and no malarial parasites were detected in the patient. +Second, a physical examination was performed and revealed a high-grade fever (40.3°C/107.4°F) (normal value: 37°C/98.6°F), slight dehydration, tachycardia, or a heart rate of 114 beats per minute (normal value: 60–100 beats per minute), a respiratory rate of 15 breaths per minute (normal value: 12–16 breaths per minute), and a blood pressure of 112/71 mm Hg (normal value: 120/80 mm Hg). +Third, laboratory investigations were performed and showed a white blood cell (WBC) count of 3160 cells /mm3 (normal value: 3200–9800 cells/mm3), neutrophils of 47% (normal value: 54–62%); eosinophils of 2.1% (normal value: 1–3%), monocytes of 4.8% (normal value: 3–7%), basophils of 0.3% (<1%), and lymphocytes of 43% (normal value: 25–33%), a platelet count of 125 000/mm3 (normal value: 130 000–400 000 cells/mm3), a serum creatinine level of 0.9 mg/dl (normal value: 0.6–1.2 mg/dl), an aspartate aminotransferase/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase level of 68 units/l (normal value: 0–35 units/l), an (alanine aminotransferase/serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) alanine aminotransferase level of 95 units/l (normal value: 0–35 units/l), an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 9 mm/h (normal value: 0–20 mm/h), 45% hematocrit (normal value: 39–49%), hemoglobin of 15.9 g/dl (normal value: 14–17.5 g/dl), mean corpuscular volume of 79.8 fl/cell (normal value: 80–97.6 fl/cell), mean corpuscular hemoglobin of 31 pg/cell (normal value: 27–33 pg/cell), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of 35 g/dl (normal value: 32–36 g/dl). +Finally, the physician performed the Widal agglutination test to find that the patient had active or previous typhoid fever. According to the Widal test, the H antigen titer was 1 : 189 and the O antigen titer (TO) was 1 : 137 (normal value: 1 : 20–1 : 80). Herein, the admitted patient had a past history of S. typhi and no detection of active infection with S. typhi because the patient was discharged after 5 days from the onset of fever, and O agglutinins can usually be detected 6–8 days after the onset of fever. The H antigen titer was positive, which was 1 : 189 greater than the normal range and showed the past history of S. typhi infection. Because active typhoid fever infection is not detected until 6 days after the onset of fever, laboratory investigations are used to identify it. The above TO titer value detected was a false negative result because it was done before the 6-day onset of fever. +On admission, ciprofloxacillin 500 mg was given orally twice a day for 7 days to treat typhoid by inhibiting the deoxyribonucleic acid replication in S. typhi and preventing S. typhi deoxyribonucleic acid topoisomerase and deoxyribonucleic acid gyrase. On the same day, paracetamol 500 mg was given orally three times a day for 5 days to control the fever by inhibiting prostaglandin E2 secretion, which elevates heat secretion and lowers heat loss. The following day, 22 July 2022, the patient was free of all clinical manifestations except fever and sent home with ciprofloxacin and paracetamol. +The admitted patient recovered from a typhoid fever infection and was discharged back home with prescribed medications. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1292_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1292_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..7a1cdd5bf109c6dc5025586d65f2472d54cd2731 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1292_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 32-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 1, was referred to our center at 26 + 3 weeks of gestation for further fetal cardiac examination for suspected cardiac anomalies. The patient was in good health without any maternal complications or high-risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, amniotic disorders). A detailed echocardiogram was performed to find any potential cardiac anomalies using transverse and sagittal scanning. Conventional 2DE was used to show fetal anatomical structures. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), together with HDFI was used to show fetal hemodynamics. The sound beam was continuously moved upward along the vertical axis of the fetal thorax to perform the transverse scanning. The four-chamber view (4CV) showed a symmetrical left and right heart. The left and right outflow tract views showed normal ventriculoarterial connections. However, a small-sized ventricular septal defect (VSD) was identified at the 4CV and the left outflow tract view with the communication clearly shown by CDFI . An additional movie file shows this in more detail (See Additional file : Video). The pulmonary valve annulus (PVA) was apparently wider in comparison with the aortic valve annulus (AVA). The ratio of PVA/AVA was 1.6 in diameter. The size of the pulmonary artery (PA) was also larger than the aorta (AO) and the ratio of PA/AO was 2.1 in diameter. At the three-vessel trachea (3VT) view, the widened pulmonary trunk continued to be the ductus, which was connected with the descending aorta. At the same time, a tiny vessel was found located at the right side of the pulmonary trunk, with no convergence with the ductus . An additional movie file shows this in more detail (See Additional file : Video). Under normal conditions, the aortic arch joins with the ductus to form proximal descending aorta in a characteristic “V” shape at the 3VT view . The echocardiographic manifestations in the current case thus suggest the possibility of an IAA. Sagittal planes were also scanned to obtain more information. The arch did not present, instead, the ascending aorta was visualized going straight upward and then branching three brachiocephalic arteries in a “W” shape . An additional movie file shows this in more detail (See Additional file : Video). A preliminary diagnosis of IAA type A was then reached. The 3DE with STIC technology was then used to obtain 3D images of the great arteries to confirm the 2D diagnosis. A 3D motorized transducer (4–8 MHz) was used to acquire cardiac volumes when scanning the sagittal planes using HDFI. The acquisition time was set to 12.5 s and the sweep angle was set to 30°. Cardiac volumes were acquired automatically and then reconstructed to display in a cine loop in multiplanar mode. Volume post-analysis was then performed using an off-line software (4D viewer, version 14.0) to obtain the 3D reconstructed images. This could be achieved by properly adjusting the direction and size of the region of interest (ROI) and the rotation of the images in three orthogonal planes in the volume. A combination of smooth surface and gradient light algorithms was also used to enhance the 3D effect of the reconstructed images. The 3D image demonstrated an abnormal angle of attachment of the aortic arch to the ductus and descending aorta via a slim isthmus . An additional movie file shows this in more detail (See Additional file : Video). The final diagnosis was CoA at the isthmus. +The patient refused a chromosomal examination and did not go back to the following-up echo four weeks later for personal reasons. She came to the hospital at 31 gestational weeks as she could not feel fetal movement. Intra-uterine fetal death was demonstrated by fetal echo and proofs of intra-uterine infection were found during the induction of the labor. An autopsy was then performed and showed the great arteries in detail. The spatial relationships of the aorta and the pulmonary artery were normal. The size of the ascending aorta was approximately half of that of the pulmonary trunk while it went straight upward and gave off the innominate artery, left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery, in turn. An abnormal angle of the connection between the aortic arch and the slim isthmus could be appreciated . In addition, a perimembranous VSD about 4 mm in diameter was also found.

On examination, his best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/63 in the right eye (RE) and 20/20 in the left eye (LE), with a small refractive error. Intraocular pressure was 15 mmHg OU. Slitlamp examination revealed quiet anterior chambers and slight nuclear sclerosis in both eyes. Dilated fundus examination of the right eye showed an inferior bullous RD involving the macula with no evidence of retinal breaks, while a large RPE tear was detected in the temporal quadrant . There was no sign of uveitis or vitreitis. Fundus examination of the LE was unremarkable, except for slight RPE distrophic alterations at the posterior pole with RPE mottling. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) revealed a pachychoroid pattern in both eyes . Moreover, OCT scans of the right eye showed sub-retinal fluid (SRF) reaching the macular area from the inferior quadrants. No SRF was detected in the LE. Ocular ultrasound showed no mass lesion . Upon questioning his medical history, the patient referred a history of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the RE and the recent use of intravenous corticosteroids for bronchitis. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) were performed, revealing hyperpermeable and dilated choroidal vessels and multifocal and diffuse leakage in the late angiograms of the RE . No disc leak or vasculitis were detected. Swept-Source OCT angiography (SS-OCT-A) confirmed the pachychoroid pattern and clearly demonstrated the mid-pheripheral RPE tear in the inferotemporal quadrant . Axial lengths were 23.63 mm (RE) and 23.35 mm (LE). +Based on the clinical features, a diagnosis of bullous variant of CSC with RPE tear was made. Oral therapy with eplerenone at a dose of 50 mg/day was initiated. However, no improvement was detected. In fact, two months later, the exudative RD increased with a worsening of the BCVA to 20/80 , despite the continuing therapy with eplerenone. To prevent irreversible photoreceptor damage, management with observation or eplerenone treatment continuation were excluded, and alternative therapeutic procedures were discussed. Laser therapy was deemed inappropriate because the leakage was multifocal and diffuse, with multiple “ink blot” focal areas of leakage at the superior margin of the detached retina and other poorly defined leakage areas in the attached retina. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was not applicable because of the extension and elevation of the RD. Therefore, the opportunity for surgical treatment was considered. +Written informed consent was given by the patient, after a comprehensive explanation of the procedures. Under general anesthesia, the patient’s eye was prepared with povidone-iodine and draped. After 180° inferior conjunctival peritomy, bridle suture was passed under the inferior, medial and lateral rectus muscles with 3–0 ticron, and the sclera was exposed. Two 4 × 4 mm almost full scleral thickness sclerectomies were done in the inferior quadrants, taking care to avoid the areas close to exit sites of the vortex veins. Finally, the conjunctiva was approximated with 8–0 Vicryl suture. The treatment resulted in complete RD resolution as of the first day after surgery.

In his thirties, he had undergone resection of the mandibular area with plate reconstruction for treatment of tongue cancer; however, the site became infected and the plate was removed 8 months before presentation. The patient returned for reoperation involving a free abdominal muscle flap with vascular anastomosis and partial mandibular resection with tracheostomy. After surgery, the patient was in the ICU for deep sedation and ventilator management for 48 h, until the vascular anastomosis stabilized. Initially, the iASV ventilator mode was selected to change only the percentage minute volume (%MV) automatically. On the postoperative day 3, the patient’s oxygenation worsened, and purulent sputum increased; fiberoptic suctioning of sputum was performed once along with sputum culturing. Although no significant organism was detected with sputum Gram staining, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas otitidis were detected in the sputum culture test. We therefore arrived at a diagnosis of VAP and changed the patient’s antibiotic from ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g per 6 h to meropenem 0.5 g per 8 h. At the time of entering the ICU, his PaO2/FiO2 ratio was 462, which indicated a good oxygenation capacity; this decreased to 171.5 at the time of VAP diagnosis. At the same time, the other patient entered the ICU with a severe respiratory emergency. We continued the iASV mode as we judged that the respiratory condition could be improved.

Laboratory findings included a routine blood examination, and a C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test, with tumor markers all found to be within normal ranges. The pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan showed some nodules at the posterior margin of the bladder that were considered to be endometriosis, and some pelvic effusion that was significant on the right side. It was also noted that there was a mass shadow at the lower right ureter (medial to the iliopsoas muscle), with distention of the lower right ureter . The patient also underwent computed tomography (CT) scans to enable the practitioners to observe the size of the abdominal mass and its surroundings. The CT images revealed a region occupying the middle right ureter that was considered to be a retroperitoneal aggressive fibroma, which led to severe hydronephrosis on the right kidney and upper ureter, and a right pelvic effusion . After more detailed examinations were conducted, there were no obvious abnormalities detected in the brain, heart, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas or blood. The color Doppler ultrasound demonstrated that there was a hypoechoic mass next to the right iliac vessels that was closely related to the adjacent ureter. This resulted in severe hydronephrosis of the right kidney and a right upper ureteral dilatation . Ndzengue et al. reported a case of a pelvic desmoid tumor simulating a uterine leiomyoma recurrence. The patient that presented at our hospital had a history of uterine leiomyoma. We subsequently organized a multidisciplinary consultation to determine the next stage of her treatment plan. According to the patient’s surgical history, the next step would be determined after reviewing the results of the last surgical pathological wax, because the pathological nature of the retroperitoneal mass was uncertain. +Consequently, a laparoscopic pelvic tumor resection with assistance from a Da Vinci robot was successfully conducted. A local peritoneal protuberance was observed in the right iliac vascular area. The parietal peritoneum was incised above the mass and it was carefully freed along the edge of the mass. The size of the tumor was about 6.0 cm × 5.0 cm × 3.0 cm. It had invasively grown and it was wrapped around the right ureter and the right ovarian arteries and veins. It was stuck to the psoas muscle and the iliac vessels. According to preoperative preparations and intraoperative conditions, a decision was made to cut off the right ureter, the right ovarian arteries and veins, and completely remove the tumor and the two masses that were located in front of the broad ligament on the right hand side of the uterus. The sizes of the masses were approximately 1.5 cm × 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm. The right ureter was anastomosed and put into a double J tube. A pathological diagnosis of an intraoperative frozen sample determined that it was a spindle cell soft tissue tumor, and the two masses were leiomyomas. Postoperative pathology tests of the pelvic mass determined that it was aggressive fibromatosis that had invaded the ureteral wall . The uterine surface nodules were also leiomyomas. Microscopically, the tumor cells were arranged sparsely in a spindle shape with blood vessels of different sizes found in the interstitial tissue. Immunohistochemical findings were found to be partially positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and desmin, and less than 5% ki-67 of positive cells were seen in the lesion. A detailed re-examination was performed 3 months after the initial surgery, to determine the structure and function of the ovaries. The transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography was able to determine that the ovaries were normal in size with several follicular echoes. The blood supply to the right ovary was good. There were no obvious abnormalities in the uterus or pelvic cavity . The pelvic MRI and the CT scan of the whole abdomen determined that there were no abnormal lesions in the pelvis.

Eighteen months later, in October 2003, her HAART regimen was switched to tenofovir (300 mg/day), sustiva (600 mg/day) and Epivir (300 mg/day). At that time, her creatinine was 0.8 mg/dL (71 μmol/L). A recheck in December 2005 revealed a creatinine of 0.9 mg/dL (80 μmol/L) corresponding to eGFR 75 ml/min. She had been on this regimen without any change in the dose of tenofovir until she presented to hospital. Her other medications included aspirin 81 mg/day, folic acid and hydroxyzine. She had also been started on trimethoprime-sulfamethoxazole but discontinued this herself in April 2006. +On admission, clinical examination revealed signs of mild dehydration. Laboratory tests disclosed the following concentrations: sodium, 134 mEq/L; potassium, 3.4 mEql/L; chloride, 115 mEq/L; bicarbonate, 8 mEq/L; BUN, 57 mg/dL (20 mmol/L); creatinine, 9.8 mg/dL (866 mmol/L); phosphorous, 5.7 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L); CPK, 119 U/L; uric acid, 4.9 mg/dL; lactate, 0.63 mmol/L and albumin 3.8 g/dL (38 g/L). Arterial blood gas showed academia (pH: 7.15) with appropriate respiratory response (pCO2 21 mmHg). In a urine sample, sodium was 44 mEq/L with a FeNa of 4%, potassium 39 mEq/L, chloride 43 mEq/L and creatinine 82 mg/dL (7249 mmol/L). Urinalysis showed marked glucosuria (294 mg/dL) with normoglycemia and proteinuria (124 mg/dL) and an absence of active urinary sediment. Urine pH was 6.0. The rates of fractional excretion of phosphorus and uric acid were 58% and 37% respectively. The findings of renal ultrasound were normal, as were the findings for all serologic tests. Her CD4+ lymphocyte count was 241 and her viral load 460 HIV RNA copies/ml. +Tenofovir therapy was discontinued and her HIV regimen was adjusted to abacavir, sustiva and epivir. Intravenous bicarbonate therapy was initiated with simultaneous potassium supplementation. Within the next few days, there was slow improvement in serum creatinine and bicarbonate levels but hypokalemia (minimum 2.5 mEq/L) recurred, requiring discontinuation of bicarbonate. Five days after her admission to our hospital, the patient discharged herself against medical advice. At that time she still had hypokalemia (2.7 mEql/L), low bicarbonate level (16 mEq/L) and a creatinine of 6.1 mg/dl (539 mmol/L). At follow-up at 7 months, her kidney function had returned to normal. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1403_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1403_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..599c92d0288496f6ada5a4f1f205b41654f49339 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1403_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A healthy 19-year-old male college student presented to the emergency department with acute pain in the left foot after sustaining a sledding injury.

She denied any history of chest pain, palpitations, syncope, or lower limb swelling. +Six years earlier, she was admitted with generalized anasarca, rapidly deteriorating renal functions, and nephrotic range of proteinuria. Renal biopsy showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. She had two sessions of hemodialysis and was kept on immune-suppressive medical therapy, and her renal functions were then stabilized. Furthermore, 2 years before presenting to us, she had a purpuric eruption and was found to have severe thrombocytopenia. Her platelets reached 10,000, and after exclusion of all other possible causes, she was diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and was kept on steroids. She also reported a history of previous right femoral deep venous thrombosis 1 year ago for which she was anticoagulated using warfarin for 6 months. The patient denied any history suggestive of an autoimmune disorder (e.g., arthralgia, skin rash, mouth ulcers, hair loss), and there was no family history of any similar conditions. +At the time of presentation, her blood pressure was 110/70 and her heart rate was 100/min. Her resting oxygen saturation was 88%. The rest of the physical examination was unremarkable apart from abdominal striae (steroids use). Her ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with no abnormalities . Echocardiography showed a huge right atrial mass (about 8 × 7 cm), filling the whole cavity of the right atrium and oscillating in and out of the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve . The left ventricle appeared of normal dimensions and systolic function. The right ventricle appeared dilated with impaired systolic function. Laboratory findings showed marked thrombocytopenia (30.000) and severe renal impairment (creatinine 6.1 mg/dl and urea 176 mg/dl). Troponin was positive. Anti-thrombin III, lupus anticoagulant (LA), anti-cardiolipin (IgG, IgM), compliments 3 and 4, and proteins C and S were in the normal range. There was a hypoalbuminemia (albumin 1.9 mg/dl). Lower limb venous Duplex showed old canalized femoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with no evidence of acute DVT. Trans-esophageal echocardiography confirmed a huge right atrial mass that was extending from the inferior vena cava (IVC) and appeared to occupy the whole atrium. A small patent foramen ovale was also noticed in the inter-atrial septum . Differential diagnosis of the right atrial mass included thrombus (pulmonary emboli-in-transit), primary and metastatic cardiac tumors (e.g., right atrial myxoma), and vegetations on the tricuspid valve and intracardiac electrodes. The huge size, extension of the mass, and clinical context suggested that it was most probably a huge thrombus. The patient was admitted, IV heparin was initiated, and a heart team discussion was held regarding the best way of management. Urgent cardiac surgery to remove the right atrial mass was proposed as the best option for the patient taking into consideration its large size and risk of distant embolization. However, concerns were raised for the risk of peri-operative bleeding due to thrombocytopenia, the risk of renal failure, and the risk of recurring thrombosis post-operatively. +A few hours later, while the patient was in the intensive care unit (ICU), the patient arrested in asystole. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was immediately initiated, the patient was intubated, and she was resuscitated after two cycles of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After the return of spontaneous circulation, she was vitally stable; the blood pressure was 140/90 and heart rate was 110/min. However, ECG showed ST-segment elevation in anterior chest leads and bedside echocardiography showed impaired left ventricle (EF of 40%) with akinetic mid and apical anterior septum and anterior wall, i.e., acute anterior STEMI, mostly due to paradoxical embolism. Recent updates were discussed, and a consensus was reached that surgery, despite the very high risk, will be the best management strategy. +As the patient was hemodynamically stable, we transferred her to the cath lab. Coronary angiography showed normal epicardial coronaries with mild haziness at mid segment of LAD artery with mild slow flow in the artery (canalized or dislodged embolus). The rest of the coronaries were normal (Additional file : Movie 3A, 3B). Multislice computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography was then performed (to exclude massive pulmonary embolism) and showed normal major pulmonary artery branches with occluded some peripheral pulmonary branches . The inferior vena cava was clear of thrombi. No suspicious abdominal masses were visualized. +After a discussion with the family and explaining the high risk of mortality and morbidity, open-heart surgery was performed to excise the right atrial thrombus. Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) was used as a support during surgery. At post-operative ICU, she was kept on IV steroids and had three sessions of hemodialysis. After 5 days, ECMO was disconnected and her vital signs stabilized. Two days later, she was extubated. A good urine output was maintained, the acid-base balance was normalized without the need for further dialysis, and creatinine and urea returned to the same levels as pre-operative. The platelets were stable at a level of 70,000. Oral anticoagulation using warfarin was initiated reaching an INR target of 2–3. Post-operative echocardiography showed borderline left ventricle (LV) contractility with regional wall motion abnormalities and mildly impaired right ventricle (RV) contractility with no evidence of mass residual . The patient was discharged on warfarin and oral steroids 3 weeks following surgery. +She returned to her daily activities with good functional capacity within 2 months after surgery.

One month post-injury, the patient also reported pain in the right knee joint while engaging in riding or walking. The pain in the area of the hallux deficit hindered his ability to apply pressure on the thenars. Diagnostic tests, including walking cycle analysis, temporospatial gait parameters, foot pressure distribution, ground reaction force measurements, toe grip force, and one-leg standing tests, were conducted. The foot pressure during a comfortable walk were recorded using a Zebris plantar pressure platform (FDM; GmbH, Munich, Germany; number of sensors: 11,264; sampling rate: 100 Hz; sensor area: 149 cm × 54.2 cm) [–]. The center of pressure (COP) during a comfortable walking pace was captured using force plates (Kistler Japan Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz with a low-pass filter set at 20 Hz . A diminished foot pressure was observed not just in the hallux but also in the metatarsal head of toes two to five on the injured side . The left-foot COP shifted toward the left toe in the late stance phase, while the right-foot COP transitioned toward the second toe, exhibiting greater spatial variability .

The patient was unable to maintain a one-leg stand for 10 seconds on the right foot. Pain levels for the toe and knee were rated 5 out of 10 on a numerical rating scale (NRS). +On the basis of these findings, a rehabilitation protocol was designed to enhance medial foot loading and improve foot pressure during walking and standing . The regimen included balance and trunk strength training. Starting from the fifth week, the focus shifted to lower limb strength training.

The reason why two stents were inserted without balloon angioplasty remains unexplained. Then, three months later, our patient was referred to our hospital with clinical signs and symptoms of a transient left hemispheric ischemia, including global aphasia, right hemiparesis, and paresthesia of the right upper extremity. His cardiovascular risk factors included arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Our patient was a non-smoker. Our patient's history included severe coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency (New York Heart Association stage II) and recurrent atrial fibrillation, which altogether resulted in an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of IV. +Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography including diffusion-weighted imaging did not reveal any ischemic lesions of the left hemisphere. Digital subtracted angiography (DSA) of the supra-aortic and intra-cranial vessels confirmed the occlusion of the left ICA and revealed a highly effective mechanical obstruction of the right ICA caused by two stents deployed in an overlapping side-by-side position . Further atherosclerotic lesions included significant stenoses of both proximal vertebral arteries (V1), a stenosis of the entire left V4 segment and a focal stenosis at the junction of the right V4 segment with the basilar artery. The anterior communicating artery and the right posterior communicating artery were widely patent and the left external carotid artery contributed to the supply of the left hemisphere via the ophthalmic artery. When giving his informed consent, our patient was informed of a peri-procedural and post-procedural mortality and morbidity rate of between 3% and 5%, and an increased risk of peri-operative bleeding due to the antiplatelet medication. Our patient accepted this, and the off-label use of both the Coroflex (Coroflex Please, B Braun Melsungen AG, Melsungen, Germany) and Enterprise (Codman Enterprise, Raynham, MA, USA) stents. +The first step of the treatment strategy focused on the posterior circulation stenoses in order to improve the potential collateral supply during subsequent stentectomy and CEA. Dual platelet antiaggregation with acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel was initiated. Under general anesthesia the stenoses of both vertebral artery origins were treated with short drug-eluting stents (Coroflex), followed by the stent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the left and right V4 stenosis using a combination of moderately undersized balloon dilatation and deployment of oversized self-expanding stents (Enterprise). +The surgical stent removal from the right ICA combined with CEA completed the treatment. Stentectomy and CEA were carried out under regional anesthesia. +As routinely, we operated using ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (MicroMaxx, Sonosite GmbH, Erlangen, Germany) of the cervical plexus using 20 cc of lidocaine 1% (Xylocain, Braun Melsungen AG, Melsungen, Germany) and 50 cc of ropivacaine 0.375% (Naropin, Astra Zeneca GmbH, Wedel, Germany). The dispensation of analgosedation allowed our patient to be awake throughout the operation, while neurological function was monitored by assessing the level of consciousness and our patient's motor function on the left side. At first the proximal ICA was dissected circumferentially beyond the level of the carotid bifurcation after uneventful clamping. The removal of the proximal stent from the common carotid artery was then possible without any neurological deficit, and we decided to proceed with the eversion technique. The simultaneous removal of the two 'hugging' stents together with the atherosclerotic plaque in the proximal ICA was possible. The ICA and common carotid artery (CCA) were reanastomosed using a 6/0 polypropylene suture in a continuous fashion.

She also denied the following: (a) regular exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (at home or at her workplace), (b) abuse of illicit or recreational drugs, (c) food or medication allergies, (d) recent camping or wild animal contact. A more detailed history revealed that the patient was otherwise healthy and had taken no medications prior to the present illness. Three days after her surgery (with prophylactic ampicillin/sulbactam administered as i.v. bolus), the patient experienced acute epigastric pain with vomiting and diarrhoea along with dyspnea that gradually increased in severity. The patient had a temperature of 38.2°C, blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg, hearth rate of 120 beats/min, and respiratory frequency of 30 breaths/min. Inspection of her thorax revealed decreased movement of the chest wall, a hyperresonant percussion note, diminished fremitus and reduced breath sounds on the right side. The abdominal examination showed distension, guarding, and diffuse tenderness. The patient’s physical signs and radiographic findings were compatible with peritonitis and pneumothorax; the laboratory examination revealed a leukocyte count of 2,100 cells/μL, with 84% neutrophils and 3% eosinophils. A laparotomy revealed purulent fluid throughout the abdominal cavity, which was associated with fibrinous plaques covering most of the abdominal viscera; these findings were the result of a rectal perforation. A perforation closure was performed and peritoneal toilets (a 9-day-toilet plan) were initiated. The pneumothorax was managed with a thoracostomy tube drainage. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and began an empirical treatment with piperacillin and tazobactam. On the day of admission, an arterial blood analysis yielded PaO2 of 67 mmHg and SaO2 of 91.2% on ambient air. Non-invasive ventilation was started under moderate sedation with propofol. In the meantime, Enterococcus and Escherichia coli were cultured from the peritoneal exudate. On the seventh postoperative day, the patient’s clinical condition worsened, with increasing intra-abdominal fibrinous adhesions and paralytic ileus; the previous treatment was discontinued and an empirical administration of imipenem was begun on the conjecture of possible resistant enterococci. On the tenth postoperative day, she developed a new spontaneous pneumothorax on the right side , with respiratory rate increased to 28 breaths/min; the pathological event was managed with a thoracostomy tube drainage. Because the patient’s clinical condition were worsened, imipenem was discontinued on the twelfth day and substituted with tigecycline based on the antibiotic-sensitivity results for Enterococcus faecium isolated from the peritoneal toilet on the tenth postoperative day. On the eighteenth postoperative day, the patient’s respiratory distress increased (34 breaths/min and SaO2 of 88% with 6 L/min supplemental oxygen), her temperature was 37.6°C, her hearth rate 110 beats/min and her leukocyte count 19,400 cells/μL (neutrophils 86%; eosinophils 2%).

Despite these measures, she did not improve and continued to have fever, with a temperature of approximately 37.5°C and mild leukocytosis. On the twenty-fifth postoperative day, a chest CT scan demonstrated a left-sided pneumothorax with dense consolidations of the left upper and middle pulmonary lobes along with multiple areas of alveolar infiltrates in the upper and middle right pulmonary lobes. As the patient gradually became more dyspneic and hypoxic, she was placed under ventilation with continuous positive airway pressure. Instead of previous antibiotics, rifampicin and moxifloxacin were administered because of a positive test for Legionella, which, however, was refuted by laboratory on the following day. Because the patient’s respiratory failure further worsened, the previous treatment was discontinued and empirically substituted with three broad-spectrum antibiotics (linezolid, meropenem and moxifloxacin). Eosinophilic pneumonia was suspected when she showed no response to antibiotics within the next 2 days. Bronchoscopy demonstrated inflamed mucosa in both upper lungs with thick secretions in both lower lungs, and many nucleated cells (including 56% eosinophils) were detected in BAL fluid. These findings unequivocally supported a diagnosis of AEP, and parenteral methylprednisolone was initiated. Significant recovery occurred within the next 24 h, so the antibiotics were discontinued. The clinical symptoms further subsided and the patient was successfully extubated within 2 days after the initiation of steroids. The laboratory data and chest radiology revealed marked improvement.

Carbon dioxide insufflation was used throughout the procedure. At the esophageal mucosa, 10 cm proximal to the gastroesophageal junction, a 2 cm longitudinal mucosal incision was made using a Hook knife to serve as the entry point for the tunnel in the planned POEM procedure. The mucosa was then separated from muscular layer starting at beginning of the tunnel and the endoscope was then used to enlarge the submucosal tunnel by further separation of mucosa and muscularis. When the channel reached the proximity of the esophagogastric junction, however, a white band of potential tumor tissue became apparent. On encountering this structure, it was decided to resect the putative tumor by separating it from the surrounding muscular layer under direct endoscopic view using an insulated-tip knife. The then mobilized tumor was excised out of the tunnel using a snare through the mucosal entry. The endoscope was then withdrawn from the submucosal tunnel and was capable of passing the gastroesophageal junction without apparent difficulty, thus the myotomy was aborted.

Her BMI was 20.3 kg/m2. G2P1+1. Ultrasound examination revealed a 3+cm mass in the uterine cavity. In February 2015, she underwent curettage and was diagnosed with FIGO grade 1 endometrioid carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested the possibility of cervical invasion. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) was negative. She subsequently underwent comprehensive cancer staging including laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, with pelvic washing. Postoperative pathological examinations showed the followings: FIGO grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma infiltrating the superficial muscle layer, and no lymphovascular space invasion. The ovaries and fallopian tubes showed no malignancy. Left and right pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes showed no evidence of malignancy in 26 examined nodes. Peritoneal cytology was negative. A diagnosis of FIGO (2018) stage I endometrioid adenocarcinoma was made. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining showed that the tumor tissue had a high expression of estrogen receptors (ERs) and progesterone receptors (PRs) and normal DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression . IHC staining for p53 showed a wild-type pattern . Notably, clustered nuclear staining of β-catenin was detected . A postoperative CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis was negative. According to the NCCN Guidelines at that time, the patient did not receive adjuvant therapy. The patient was followed up regularly in another hospital. In June 2019, she returned to our hospital with an irregular cough without apparent cause. A pulmonary CT scan showed multiple high-density pulmonary nodules in the anterior basal region of the right lower lobe and right middle lobe of the lung, indicating metastatic tumors . She then underwent thoracoscopic resection of the affected lobes. IHC confirmed an FIGO grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma infiltrating the lung tissue. The patient was then treated with six cycles of combined chemotherapy of paclitaxel and carboplatin. Combined with the computed tomography scan result and the cancer antigen 125, complete remission following treatment was confirmed.

The variant frequency for each sample was calculated as the percent variant reads from total reads. The data showed that there was no germline mutation in this patient. Somatic mutations of 44 genes were detected in primary tumor samples. Mutations of PTEN (p.P248Lfs*8), CTNNB1 (p.D32A), BCOR (p.N1425S) and CBL (p.S439N) were detected in the lung metastasis, which were shared by primary tumors .

In November 2011 she was referred our outpatient clinic. Dactylitis of the fourth finger of the right hand and swelling, redness and pain of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the second digit of the right hand were noted during the physical examination. Laboratory results at that time included: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) = 100 mm/h (normal range 0–39 mm/h), C-reactive protein (CRP) = 3.99 mg/l (normal range 0–6 mg/l), gamma-glutamyltransferase (γGT) = 237 IU/l (normal range 3–45 IU/ml), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) = 201 IU/l (normal range 53–141 IU/ml). The patient was treated with methylprednisolone for 6 months; treatment was started with doses of 16 mg/die that were tapered to 4 mg/die. She also received 15 mg weekly oral Methotrexate (MTX) for 6 months beginning in May 2012 with poor results. In March 2012, hand X-rays uncovered periostitis of the proximal phalanx of the right fourth digit; ultrasound (US) and powerdoppler evaluation revealed flexor tenosynovitis of the fourth finger of the right hand and a small erosion in the head of the fourth MCF of the right hand. An US-guided corticosteroid injection of the tendon sheath was adminstered. +In April 2012 the patient presented to the Gastroenterology Unit of the University of Padova Medical Centre. Biochemical testing confirmed abnormal cholestatic patterns that had been persisting since 2009 (γGT 229 IU/ml and ALP 201 IU/ml). At that time the patient showed: antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) positivity in immunofluorescence with a 1:160 titre, immunoblotting positivity for M2, 3E and anti pg 210, total serum cholesterol = 240 mg/dl (range ≤ 200 mg/dl), serum IgM = 7.31 g/L (range 0.4–2.38 g/L), normal transaminases, negative hepatitis B and C serum markers. The patient showed no symptom of cholestasis; the liver and spleen were not palpable. A liver biopsy, which was performed in May 2012, showed marked fibrosis of the portal tracts extending to the parenchyma, interface hepatitis, and a vanishing bile duct picture with the remaining ducts showing regressive alterations of cholangiocytes together with biliary metaplasia. The histological picture was compatible with stage III PBC. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which was begun in April 2012 at 10 mg/Kg/day, was later increased to 15 mg/Kg/day; a partial reduction in γGT and ALP was recorded. In July 2012, the patient underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) cholangiography of the upper abdomen which revealed a marked reduction of the right segmental duct extended for 2.5 cm, with upstream dilatation, and pronounced stenosis of the biliary tree in the 5th and 6th hepatic segment considered characteristic of PSC. MRI typically shows multiple strictures and dilatations of the intrahepatic biliary tree in PSC patients. In our case, the coexistence of a liver biopsy compatible with PBC and MRI results typical of PSC permitted us to formulate a diagnosis of PBC-PSC overlap syndrome. +Given the absence of both the histopathological features of IgG4-related disease and abundant IgG4+ plasma cells in the liver biopsy material, the hypothesis of IgG4-associated cholangitis was excluded. Furthermore, there were no signs of synchronous involvement of other organs. +In October 2012, arthritis of the fourth right DIP joint and severe nail psoriasis were two new symptoms that were added to the clinical picture . Hand X-rays showed new erosions in the fourth right MCF and DIP . Adalimumab treatment (40 mg fortnightly), which was begun at that time, led to notable relief of the pain and stiffness. Three months later the painful swellings of the second and fourth right DIP joints showed marked improvement, and the nail of the fourth right finger appeared normal . The patient’s Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index score fell from 0.750 to 0.375, the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) fell from 4.25 to 3.18 and the Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score fell from 17.37 to 4.29. Liver function tests improved, the ALP normalized, and the γGT and IgM improved (respectively falling to 124 IU/L and 5.35 g/L). Twelve months later, the HAQ continued to fall reaching 0.25, the DAS 28 fell to 1.80, and the DAPSA to 2.69. Hand X-rays showed that the bone erosion infourth right DIP joint seemed to have disappeared while the erosion at the base of the first phalanx persisted . Unfortunately, we do not have Computerized Tomography (CT) or MRI confirmation of these findings. Twenty-eight months later, the patient’s HAQ and DAS 28 values were stable, the DAPSA was 5.29 (low disease activity), the γGT and serum IgM had fallen even further (respectively reaching 98 IU/ml, and 4.93 g/L), and the ALP remained at normal levels (107 IU/ml) .

She underwent HLA-matched unrelated donor HSCT at the age of 6 months (HLA-A, DRB1, permissive DPB1 allele mismatches). Conditioning regimen: busulfan (3×3,2 mg/kg/day), fludarabine (3×50 mg/m2/day), thiotepa (2×5 mg/kg/day) and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG GenzymeTM) (3×4,5 mg/kg/day). The patient received 4.14×108/kg bone marrow total nucleated cells and 7.37×106/kg of CD34+ cells. GVHD prophylaxis was based on cyclophosphamide (2×50 mg/kg) and cyclosporine and low dose of prednisone (0,4 mg/kg/die). The pre-engraftment period was complicated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis (day + 10) and right lobar pneumonia (day +13). The engraftment occurred at day +16 with no sign of aGVHD. Therapy with ciclosporin was interrupted three months after HSCT, and she started therapy with tacrolimus. The prednisone given as GVHD prophylaxis was interrupted at month +7 post-HSCT. Full donor chimerism was found at day +50 and confirmed at month +8 post-HSCT. At 17 months the child was admitted to the hospital for lack of appetite, elevated liver enzymes with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 850 U/L and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 499 U/L (normal value 5–45), and polypnea. Presuming GVHD-related symptoms, she was treated with methylprednisolone at the dose of 2 mg/kg/die with no clinical improvement. The child rapidly developed respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation. An extensive diagnostic work-up was performed: blood analysis revealed an increased value of creatine kinase (CK) of 13830 U/L (normal value 25–190), creatine kinase (CK)-MB 555 ng/L (normal value < 6) and troponin of 2601 ng/L (normal value < 45); tacrolimus through blood level was in range; immunoglobulin levels were normal whilst the peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations showed an increase in the content of B-lymphocytes (2544,34 cells/ul, normal value 123–349); echocardiography showed a normal biventricular function; electroencephalography (EEG) revealed no abnormality; serological test and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay revealed no evidence of recent parvovirus B19, Adenovirus, Enterovirus, Cytomegalovirus, Human herpesvirus 6, Human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus or Epstein-Barr virus infection; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings resulted negative for bacterial and viral infections; electromyography (EMG) showed a normal pattern of the motor unit action potential (MUAP) waveform with normal values of F wave and only sporadic myopathic MUAPs were found; an extensive screen for autoantibodies related to autoimmune and neuromuscular disease was negative.

In the following days the clinical conditions of the child improved, with a decrease in CK, CK-MB, AST, ALT and troponin values; she was weaned from mechanical ventilation after 25 days. In the following weeks the girl presented a progressive clinical improvement with complete normalisation of the neuromuscular disease in about two months. The girl was treated with sirolimus (ongoing), and low dose of prednisone (0,2 mg/kg/die) gradually tapered off over nine months. Currently, after 15 months, the girl is asymptomatic in very good general conditions without any neuromuscular alteration. The values of CK-MB, AST, ALT and troponin are average while CK persists slightly abnormal (1.5 times above the normal upper range). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_16_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_16_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8ddaaf8465fbd4a4d151342a061da54d98d4fd3d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_16_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 33 year old female patient, known to have microscopy positive pulmonary tuberculosis (MPT+) complicated by a left pneumothorax, under anti-tuberculosis treatment having received two months of quadritherapy based on Rifampicin + Isoniazid + Pyrazinamide + Ethambutol and then during the second phase of treatment with dual therapy based on Rifampicin + Isoniazid (one month), referred to our department of maxillofacial surgery for two swellings, one fronto-glabellar and the other posterior right cervical, progressively evolving over the last 4 months, initially frontal and then secondarily right cervical, evolving in a context of asthenia, anorexia, evening fever and weight loss of 13 kg in 6 months. +Clinical examination found two swellings of soft consistency, fluctuating on palpation, painless, warm and fairly well limited .

Suspected as having an evolving STEMI, the PPCI pathway was activated, in line with the 2017 ESC guidelines on management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), and the patient was transferred as an emergency to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory of our heart attack centre. +On arrival, the patient was haemodynamically stable and the chest pain had subdued to 1/10 in severity. Systemic examination was unremarkable. The patient was apyrexial, with a heart rate of 90 b.p.m., with a blood pressure of 110/72 mmHg and venous pressure was not elevated. Cardiovascular examination was normal with an undisplaced apex beat, normal heart sounds, no murmurs or pericardial rub, and normal breath sounds on auscultation. +Subsequently, there was recurrence of severe chest pain and profound anterior ST-segment elevation . Emergency coronary angiography showed unobstructed coronary arteries . Emergency coronary angiogram showed all three coronary arteries were patent with Thrombolysis in Myocardial infarction-3 flow and there was no evidence of dissection or thrombus. The ST-elevation and pain resolved spontaneously over the next 15 min . On-table echocardiography showed no evidence of pericardial effusion or any ventricular regional wall motion abnormality. Troponin-T level rose from <3 ng/L on arrival to 549 ng/L at 12 h. Blood results were as follows: haemoglobin 139 g/L (130–170 g/L), white cell count 12.9 × 109/L (4–11 × 109/L) (differential count of 73% neutrophils, 17% lymphocytes, 7% monocytes, 2% eosinophils, and 1% basophils), platelet count 302 × 109/L (150–400 × 109/L), C-reactive protein 83 mg/L (0–5 mg/L), prothrombin time 13.5 s (9–12 s), activated partial thromboplastin time 40.4 s (23–31 s), lactate 1.4 mmol/L (0.6–2.5 mmol/L), urea 3.2 mmol/L (2.5–7.8 mmol/L), creatinine 55 µmol/L (59–104 µmol/L), eGFR >90 mL/min sodium 138 mmol/L (133–146 mmol/L), potassium 4.4 mmol/L (3.5–5.3 mmol/L), bilirubin 5 µmol/L (0–21 µmol/L), alanine transaminase 17 U/L (7–40 U/L), alkaline phosphatase 132 U/L (30–130 U/L), and albumin 42 g/L (35–50 g/L). +The patient was transferred to the cardiac ward and managed as a possible acute coronary syndrome or coronary artery spasm and initiated on dual anti-platelet therapy with aspirin 75 mg o.d., ticagrelor 90 mg b.i.d., diltiazem 90 mg b.i.d. and atorvastatin 20 mg o.d. Transthoracic echocardiography was normal, with normal left ventricle size and function, and no evidence of regional wall motion abnormality. He was discharged after 48 hours of monitoring, after he remained stable and symptom free. +Given that there was no evidence of coronary artery disease on angiography to explain the reason for the acute coronary syndrome, a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was requested, to look for evidence of MI, fibrosis, or inflammation such as myocarditis. An outpatient cardiac MRI showed a structurally normal heart but detected an incidental large mediastinal mass , measuring 90 mm × 31 mm × 74 mm that was lobulated, containing multiple cysts. The mass abutted, but did not invade, the great vessels in the anterior mediastinum. Inflammation and oedema of the parietal pericardium was observed anterior to the right ventricle confluent with some of the mass. There was no myocardial late gadolinium enhancement. The patient was reviewed in clinic where dual antiplatelet therapy was stopped and a chest computed tomography (CT) scan was arranged. +The chest CT scan was requested to better characterize the lesion. This showed a poorly defined anterior mediastinal mass with cystic areas with large area of contact with the great vessels and infiltrating between the ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery . Adjacent abnormal lymph nodes were also present. Tissue biopsy confirmed Hodgkin’s lymphoma and the patient was initiated on chemotherapy (Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine, or ABVD regime). The patient was seen following five cycles of chemotherapy, 7 months following the index event and was responding well to the chemotherapy with no further symptoms of chest pain. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_176_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_176_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..776dbf23d11e75ce288d84c90a8f6efe9bcf47df --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_176_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 38-year-old woman with a medical history of type I diabetes mellitus and SPS initially presented to inpatient rehabilitation with intractable and painful muscle spasms due to SPS. The diagnosis of SPS was confirmed by elevated anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody levels (>250 IU/mL). Her symptoms were episodic in nature and triggered by light palpation along the lower limbs. Emotional distress also worsened symptoms. Episodes would last up to 8 h per day. Examination was notable for severe and painful muscle flexor spasms, which were clonic and diffuse. The spasms were particularly notable in her left lower limb with corresponding left ankle inversion, and right upper limb with elbow flexion and forearm supination. The patient underwent serial up-titration of oral baclofen up to 15 mg 3 times a day and diazepam up to 20 mg every 6 h, with concurrent IVIG cycles, with only transient symptom control. Her symptoms made her non-ambulatory and limited her tolerance to using a wheelchair for mobility. She also required moderate-to-maximum assistance for bed mobility, transfers and lower limb dressing. The patient was subsequently referred to the spasticity clinic to be assessed for ITB therapy. She underwent a trial of a single bolus of 50 μg baclofen via a lumbar puncture at the L3–L4 interspace , resulting in a significant decrease in spontaneous spasms, which lasted for hours. She demonstrated modified independence on transfers and ambulation following the test dose procedure, without requiring an assistive device. The patient was then referred to neurosurgery and ultimately implanted with a SynchroMed II intrathecal delivery system (Medtronic, Inc. Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA), with the catheter tip placed at the T8 spinal level. Her post-procedural course was complicated only by a transient post-dural puncture headache. To date, her ITB has been titrated to 186 μg per day with simple continuous delivery. The patient was weaned off oral baclofen and required only intermittent oral diazepam, with 5 mg once or twice daily. To date, she has mild allodynia in the left lower limb. She attained complete functional independence with ambulation and continues ambulating without needing an assistive device. She remains independent in bed mobility, lower limb dressing, and transfers. She continues ITB therapy with occasional IVIG cycles, directed by neurology. Her baclofen dose has been stable for 36 months following the titration phase of therapy. She has experienced no lasting adverse effects from ITB therapy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1791_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1791_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1266864cca247190d3ec6ad956f46ef27ef61c42 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1791_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 40-year-old male presented to us with right flank pain experienced for two weeks.

These symptoms were impairing her ability to attend school regularly. Her psychiatric history was significant for a recent hospitalization three months prior for bipolar disorder with psychotic features (auditory hallucinations). The patient met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria for bipolar I disorder based on the documented presentation of manic episode as well as prior major depressive episodes over the preceding three months. During admission, she was started on lithium carbonate 500 mg twice daily and paliperidone 9 mg (450 mg Chlorpromazine, equivalent dose) once daily for treatment. Two months later, the paliperidone was down titrated to 6 mg (300 mg Chlorpromazine, equivalent dose) once daily. However, one week before her outpatient visit, she started to experience frequent dizziness, chest tightness, and feeling sluggish. She denied any other personal or family medical conditions, smoking, alcohol use, or illicit drug use. However, it was noted these were based on self-report only, and additional clinical documentation was unavailable to confirm past medical conditions. Prior to the initiation of lithium and paliperidone, she had no history of thyroid disease, bradycardia, or other cardiac issues. +On physical examination, her heart rate was bradycardic at 41 beats per minute, and her blood pressure was 95/57 mmHg. An electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed sinus bradycardia and sinus arrest . Her serum electrolytes, including calcium, potassium, and myocardial enzymes, were within normal limits . However, thyroid function tests showed an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) of 9.08 mIU/L (reference range 0.51–4.94 mIU/L), decreased total thyroxine (TT4) of 45.05 nmol/L (reference range 58.1–140.6 nmol/L), and decreased free thyroxine (FT4) of 10.94 pmol/L (reference range 11.5–22.7 pmol/L) . Her thyroid abnormalities were considered subclinical in nature since overt symptomatic manifestations were not charted in the available history. She and her guardian denied any personal or family history of cardiac or thyroid diseases, and she was not taking any other medicines known to cause heart block. Although her serum lithium level was not measured due to unavailability of the assay at our hospital, her serum paliperidone level was within the therapeutic range . Based on her medication history and clinical presentation, the combination of lithium and paliperidone was suspected as the likely cause of her hypothyroidism, bradycardia, and sinus arrest. +This was further supported when her thyroid function normalized 20 days after stopping these medications, without levothyroxine replacement . Bradycardia and sinus dysfunction were documented to have resolved within the same timeframe as thyroid function stabilization, with a restoration of normal sinus rhythm to 64 beats per minute occurring 20 days after medication cessation. This aligned timing provides evidence that the cardiac issues were likely attributable to drug-induced sinus node effects rather than idiopathic pathology. The half-lives of lithium and paliperidone are 18 hours and 23 hours, respectively, which explains the timing of the resolution of her subclinical hypothyroidism and sinus node dysfunction 20 days after discontinuing these medicines. Then, she was switched to olanzapine 2.5 mg once daily for her psychiatric disorder. Pacemaker implantation was not pursued because her sinus rhythm recovered with drug withdrawal. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1799_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1799_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ba4119e7ca2f46761e609f3e0570e2b7aed1135c --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1799_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 23-year-old-woman was referred to our hospital for severe pain and decreased visual acuity started one day ago in the right eye.

The patient was HBs-antigen (Ag)-positive, HBs-antibody (Ab)-negative, HBe-Ag-negative, HBe-Ab-positive, and HBc-Ab-positive (Axsym, Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL, USA). Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was detected as positive in the serum. Serological markers for hepatitis delta virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and hepatitis C virus were negative. The persistence of biochemical and virological abnormalities was an indication for a liver biopsy, which showed chronic hepatitis B with a mild necroinflammatory activity and moderate fibrosis (Metavir score, A1F2). Treatment with lamivudine 100 mg/day was initiated in November 2000 (month 0: M0). At that time, serum HBV DNA load was 8.6 log10 IU/mL (Amplicor-HBV-Monitor, Roche Diagnostics, Meylan, France; limit of detection: 200 copies/mL) . After an initial 3.4 log10 drop of the HBV DNA load within the first 3 months of therapy, the serum HBV DNA load regularly increased with a flare of ALT at M10 and reached the pretreatment level at M14. Consequently, adefovir 10 mg/day was added to the ongoing lamivudine therapy in a temporary-use authorization program. This dual-therapy regimen was maintained for 15 months with a good virological and biochemical response (HBV DNA load: 4.1 log10IU/mL and ALT = 41 IU/L), leading to lamivudine interruption at M30 because, at that time, the benefit of maintaining dual therapy was not proven. With adefovir monotherapy, the serum HBV DNA level continued to decrease with a nadir at M42 (2.6 log10IU/mL). However, a virological breakthrough (i.e., a controlled increase in serum HBV load > 1 log) occurred at M48, leading to the re-introduction of lamivudine in association with adefovir (at that time entecavir was not yet available). With this second dual therapy, serum HBV DNA became undetectable at M60 (COBAS Taqman HBV, Roche Diagnostics, Meylan, France; limit of detection: 6 IU/mL). To date (M83), the HBV load is still undetectable and ALT levels have been repeatedly within the normal range. +In order to detect lamivudine and adefovir resistance-associated mutations and to determine the HBV genotype of the patient strain, sequence analyses were performed within the viral polymerase and the precore genes using a bi-directional sequencing with Ceq 2000 XL Beckman (Beckman-Coulter, Villepinte, France). The presence of resistance-associated mutations was also assessed using a commercially available reverse hybridization line probe assay (InnoLipa-DR2-assay, InnoGenetics, Ghent, Belgium), following the manufacturer's instructions. This second genotyping assay was performed because of its sensitivity in detecting HBV resistance-associated mutations, particularly in low HBV-load samples [,]. To evaluate the proportion of mutated strain in each sample, we used an in-house selective real-time PCR, which provides a quantitative detection of the main HBV mutations associated with lamivudine and adefovir resistance: rtM204V/I and rtN236T, respectively. This method was derived from the strategy called the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) . Briefly, discrimination between wild type and mutant with a single base pair mismatch is made possible using a primer-template mismatch at the 3' end of the primer, which significantly compromises polymerase efficiency in amplifying the wild type strain. Primers and probes for rtM204V/I were described previously and the assay can detect up to 0.1% variants for a total viral load of 105 copies/mL . We designed and evaluated a specific reverse primer (5'-ATCTTTTTGTTTTGTTAGGGG-3') for the detection of the rtN236T-mutation. +The phylogenetic analysis of the HBsAg-coding region sequence showed a genotype D and a stop codon mutation at the G1896A position in the precore region, confirming the serological data for the infection with a precore mutant HBV strain (data not shown). +The viral polymerase gene sequencing before and after the first 3 months of lamivudine monotherapy revealed a wild viral strain. The two lamivudine-resistance mutations rtL180M and rtM204V/I were concomitantly detected with sequencing and line probe assays from M6 to M39 (9 months after cessation of lamivudine). During this period, the rate of rtM204V/I strain remained stable, as shown by the ARMS assay (see Table ). After M39, the rtL180M variant was no longer detectable with sequencing or the line probe assay. From M42 to M55, the rtM204V/I variant was still detectable with ARMS and the line probe assay but not with sequencing because the mutated population represents less than 25% of the total viral population, as seen by ARMS (see Table ). +The first adefovir-resistance mutation rtN236T has been observed since M42 (after 28 months of adefovir therapy, including 12 months of adefovir monotherapy) using ARMS and the line probe assay. The second adefovir-resistance mutation rtA181V was detected at M46. +Thus, at the beginning of the second-line dual therapy (M48), rtA181V, rtN236T, and rtM204V/I variants were detectable either by sequencing analysis or both the line probe assay and ARMS. This resistance profile persisted at M55 but the rtN236T-mutated strain proportion slightly decreased (from 34% at M48 to 27% at M55). The line probe assay carried out at M58 showed wild type recovery of amino acids 204, 236, and 181. At this time, viral load was 8 IU/mL and sequencing and ARMS detection were unsuccessful. Finally, the viral load became undetectable (< 6 IU/mL with Cobas-TaqMan-HBV) at M60 after 1 year of dual therapy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1839_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1839_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..81b3649ba99138b0ae45b61a88552967654b4b83 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1839_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 25-year-old Caucasian female with a history of type 1 neurofibromatosis was brought to our hospital with diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and fever following cesarean section for fetal distress.

In the following 9 months, she reported further eight spontaneous luxation episodes, which resolved after auto repositioning. The patient did not refer to any previous surgery. At the clinical examination, the left patella appeared to be medialized compared to the opposite healthy side; the medial shift test showed a clear tendency toward medial subluxation accompanied by patient’s discomfort (positive medial apprehension test) . The lateral retinacular showed to be hyperlax. Pre-operative imaging assessment included weight-bearing anteroposterior and lateral views of both knees . A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and also a computed tomography-scan of the left knee were collected. No rotatory malalignment was found. As pathological MRI findings, substantial hypertrophy of both the medial patellar retinaculum and the tendon of the oblique medial vastus muscle was documented. The initially proposed conservative treatment encompassed the use of a brace during sports activities and muscular imbalance correction. As the girl referred persistent sensation of “giving away,” 10 months after the first dislocation episode, the surgical operation was performed. It consisted in an open medial retinacular release with complete dissection of the hypertrophic MPFL and a transfer of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) to the superior border of the patella . The medial retinaculum was dissected on a line drawn from 1 cm medial to the superior pole of the patella to the anteromedial portal. The inferomedial corner of the VMO was detached, and then transferred and sutured to the superomedial pole of the patella, using No. 2 PDS sutures with the knee flexed at 30°. The lateral retinaculum was tensioned, dissecting the two layers and consequently suturing them together in a “pants over vest” fashion. We did not perform a lateral retinaculum reconstruction to avoid over tightening. At the end of the surgery, we achieve regular patellar tracking without any tendency to medial or lateral subluxation during stress-testing. Postoperatively, the knee was placed in a knee brace, and partial weight bearing was advised for the first 4 weeks. Flexion was limited at 45° within the first 2 weeks, and at 90° within the first 4 weeks. Recovery to a full weight bearing was permitted 4 weeks after surgery, and range of motion was gradually increased. The post-operative 6 and 12-week follow-up showed promising results as far as the patient walked without pain and/or sensation of instability. Eight months after surgery on the left knee, the patient experienced a traumatic medial patellar dislocation also in the right knee, occurred during sports activity. Furthermore, in this case, the conservative treatment did not lead to favorable results. The right knee was addressed surgically with the same surgical steps already performed on the contralateral knee. The post-operative protocol was the same used for the left knee. The patient was reassessed 7 years after the surgical operation on the left knee and 6 years after surgical correction of the right one; so far, no further episodes of dislocation have occurred. In the right knee, the Lysholm score improves from 48 to 87, while the Kujala score increased from 55 to 88. The pre-operative Lysholm and patellofemoral Kujala scores improved, respectively, from 45 to 85 and from 56 to 88 in the left knee. The patient declared to be highly satisfied with the procedure, and the only complain was a slight difficulty in squatting, jumping, and running. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1847_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1847_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ff6166f6adf2b413df5a44ef8f9206e5250a892f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1847_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +A thirty-year-old male presented with fever and non-productive cough for 2 weeks with exertional dyspnoea.

CT scan indicated the development of a tumor at the anastomosis site that was massively attached to the upper part of the sacrum and a small nodule, and it was suspected that peritoneal dissemination was present on the ventral right side of the anastomosis . In addition, a positron emission tomography–CT scan confirmed an abnormally high accumulation of 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose on the recurrent lesion . A colonoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of LRRC , and histopathological examination of the biopsy specimens revealed adenocarcinoma cells.

However, the recurring tumor remained in contact with the upper part of the sacrum . We determined that radical surgical resection was still not possible, and CIRT facility was consulted. It was determined that CIRT could not be performed because of the close proximity of the intestinal anastomotic site. This was decided based on the fact that the dose of CIRT is higher than the dose tolerable for the intestinal tract, and its proximity to the intestinal tract can increase the risk of ulcers, bleeding, and perforation. Therefore, it was proposed that the exposed intestinal tract should be removed within 1–2 months after CIRT considering its late toxicities.

As a result, approximately 5 cm of the intestinal tract was included in the irradiated area . The patient was re-evaluated 1 month after irradiation with multiple imaging studies, but no significant changes in the tumor were observed. In addition, there were no significant adverse effects in the intestinal tract, except for light erythema, mucosal edema, and erosion at the anastomosis . +Surgical removal was performed as planned 8 weeks after CIRT. Surgery was performed laparoscopically with regional removal of the intestine. Despite the presence of adhesions that seemed to be related to the prior surgery, no significant adhesions with other organs were detected within the CIRT-irradiated area. In the irradiated area, the tissue was extremely firm owing to severe fibrosis, thus making it difficult to distinguish the dissected layer. Therefore, we proceeded with sharp dissection as close as possible to the sacrum, with the connective tissue being sharply dissected along the sacral surface using monopolar electronic scalpels and ultrasonically activated devices. This dissection line was selected to prevent any exposure of the intestinal lumen. However, sharp dissection resulted in a significant amount of exudate production, thus making it difficult to maintain a clear field of view during the surgical procedure within the pelvis. We verified the anastomosis from the prior surgery using intraoperative colonoscopy. Further, we estimated the extent of irradiated bowel based on the distance from the anastomosis using the preoperative irradiation map as a guide. The physician who designed and performed preoperative CIRT participated in the surgery and provided advice on the resection line. The rectum was resected 2 cm distal to the anastomotic tumor, and the entire irradiated bowel was removed . Re-anastomosis was performed using the double-stapling technique, and a temporary loop ileostomy was constructed. No complications were observed except for a paralytic ileus, which delayed the start of meals for 7 days. Histopathological examination of the removed rectum revealed massive fibrosis and scattered small numbers of cancer cells . The nuclei of these cancer cells showed irregularly marked swelling and chromatin clumping . Because of intimal thickening that contained foamy cells, small vascular lumen was narrowed near these degenerated cancer cells . These morphological changes suggested the presence of the CIRT effect, which was estimated as TRG3 according to the previously proposed criteria . No adjuvant therapy was administered, and tumor markers and imaging were performed every 3 months after the surgery. The temporary ileostomy was closed 8 months after the surgical intervention. The quality of life of the patient, especially defecation function, was maintained. The patient continues to survive with no obvious signs of recurrence 24 months after surgery. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1872_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1872_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..40a5882fa04496ed2152b6287b8d058ceb3cf160 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1872_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +17 year old girl presented to Emergency department with fever, malaise for 3 months, left foot gangrene for 2 months, left sided hemiparesis for 4 days.

HRCT showed that there were two nodules, including one solid pulmonary nodule (SPN) that was located at the right upper lobe and one GGO at the right lower lobe . Other preoperative examinations showed no contraindications. A right upper lobectomy and right lower lobe wedge resection by single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) were performed, and about 3 h before the operation, a CT-guided hook wire localization of the GGO was performed in radiology department. According to the CT scan, the hook wire was inserted 3 cm deep into the pulmonary parenchyma and the hook-shaped tip was fixed 1.8 cm away from the GGO . There was no pneumothorax or hemothorax during this procedure. +General anesthesia was performed and then a 4 cm incision was made at the pivot of the fourth intercostal space and the anterior axillary line. While entering the thorax, the hookwire was found still attached to the right lower lobe and the tail outside the thorax was cut off to avoid bacterial contamination. As we planed before, the first step of the operation was wedge resection of the right lower lobe. After several attempts to search for the GGO by manual palpation, the hookwire was submerged in pulmonary parenchyma and could not be touched. A 1 cm incision at the pivot of the eighth intercostal space and the midaxillary line and a 3 cm incision at the pivot of the eighth intercostal space and the posterior axillary line were added but still helpless.

When the patient was sent back to the theater, the operation continued from right lower lobe wedge resection, then right upper lobectomy. After successfully dissecting pulmonary vein and superior bronchus of the right upper lobe with endoscopic stapler (Ethicon), we ligatured and cut arteries of right upper lobe one by one manually but did not find the hookwire. Afterwards, a second CT scan was performed and the hookwire was found in the artery of apicoposterior segment of left upper lobe . Since this foreign body could not be reached through right thoracic cavity, the vascular surgery department was consulted after the incisions were closed.

Previously, she presented to the hospital with similar complaints two other times; however, she was not seen by our team until the third visit. On this first visit she stated that she used the blood glucose monitor of her girlfriend/roommate, who is a type 1 diabetic, and that her blood sugar reading was 53 mg/dL and later rose to 80 mg/dL after she ate two sandwiches and some chocolate. Upon arriving to the ED, the patient’s symptoms had improved. Vital signs obtained at the time of triage were: blood pressure (BP) 98/65 mmHg, heart rate 81 beats per minute (bpm), respiratory rate 18 breaths per min, oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 100% on room air, and an oral temperature of 37 °C (98.6 °F). The patient reported no pertinent past surgical history. She stated that she was allergic to pineapples and that she does not take any medications. In addition, she did not report any tobacco or alcohol use. Initial examination revealed a well-developed, asymptomatic, obese young female in no acute distress. Her blood glucose according to the glucose monitor was 60 mg/dL, which was confirmed with lab draw. Physical exam and labs were unremarkable, and the patient was discharged after being given intravenous (IV) 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) for volume restoration, ondansetron for her nausea and vomiting, further directions on diet for hypoglycemia (i.e. adding protein to each meal and eating small frequent meals), and instructions on follow-up with her primary care provider (PCP) for recommendation on further testing for the cause of her hypoglycemic episode and GI symptoms. +The next day, the patient arrived via emergency medical services (EMS) to the ED after she was found unresponsive. She stated that she was not feeling too well due to a virus and became very lightheaded and passed out. Her blood sugar was 46 mg/dL at home prior to administration of half an ampule of dextrose (D50W). Her family mentioned the patient has a history of her blood sugar dropping rather frequently and that they are unsure what to do for this problem.

Physical exam and other labs were unremarkable, and the patient was discharged after being given instructions once again on following-up with a PCP. +Three weeks after her initial presentation, she was rushed to the ED via EMS after being found unresponsive at work with a blood glucose level of 23 mg/dL. She was given 1 ampule of IV D50W by EMS at the scene and her blood sugar rose to 172 mg/dL. Upon arrival to the ED, her blood sugar had dropped back down to 61 mg/dL; and she was noted to again have symptoms of dizziness and decreased alertness with her hypoglycemia. Vital signs obtained at the time of triage were: BP 135/78 mmHg, heart rate 108 bpm, respiratory rate 18 breaths per minute, SpO2 of 100% on room air, and an oral temperature of 36.4 °C (97.6 °F). She was given one half of an ampule of D50W IV because of her symptoms of dizziness and evidence of decreased alertness with a decreased blood glucose level, which was suspected to still be dropping. She responded to this treatment with improvement of dizziness and alertness but later had a second hypoglycemic episode in the ED. At this time she was treated with a full ampule of D50W IV and was started on dextrose 5% with 0.45% NaCl (D5 half-normal). Despite a brief improvement a few minutes after starting D5 half-normal, she had a third episode of hypoglycemia in the ED and was treated with another ampule of D50W IV and her IV changed to dextrose 10% in water (D10W) at 100 cm3 (cc’s) an hour. Despite this change, her blood glucose further dropped to 105 mg/dL from 140 mg/dL, so her D10W was increased to 150 cc’s an hour. Detailed glucose readings throughout this time are reported in Table . Her girlfriend/roommate was asked to leave the patient to rest, in order to help determine whether the patient, her roommate, or both might be involved in giving insulin to cause the abrupt hypoglycemic episodes. The patient was weak, confused, profusely sweating with chills, short of breath, nauseated, had heart palpitations, and an altered mental status during all of her hypoglycemic episodes. Of note, once alert, the patient told the charge nurse that her PCP had found a mass in her pancreas that was responsible for her hypoglycemic episodes. Due to the critical nature of her recurrent hypoglycemic episodes in the ED, the patient was admitted to the ICU, where she became more responsive. An electrocardiogram demonstrated normal sinus rhythm, normal axis and intervals, and no acute changes in ST-segment or T wave morphology. The laboratory findings from all three ED visits are reported in Table . +Standard drug screen was done to rule out any symptoms from toxicity; however the results were negative. To determine if factitious use of insulin was the cause for the patient’s presentation, further tests were performed: hemoglobin A1C of 5.1%, C-peptide level of 9.9 ng/mL, free insulin level of 370 mIU/L and a total insulin level of 377 mIU/L. +To rule out any neurological causes, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the head without IV contrast was performed and revealed no evidence of intracranial findings or suspicious intracranial mass. To rule out any pancreatic masses, CT of the abdomen was obtained and showed a 1.8 cm collapsing cyst in the right ovary and trace fluid in the pelvis, which is likely physiological . Otherwise, no acute intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic process was seen. +The patient was interviewed at length by the ED hospital team in the ICU the following day, and the diagnosis of factitious disorder was suggested. The encounter revealed that the patient is an undocumented immigrant from Honduras, who has been in the US since she was 14 years old. She used to reside with foster parents. However, she recently graduated from being a minor and is currently living at a halfway house with four other women. She works full-time at a thrift store. She is unaware of her family history. She states that she was heavily involved with illicit drug use in the past but does not smoke or drink alcohol anymore. When confronted with evidence about no mass found on imaging, the patient did not deny injecting insulin. She had significant knowledge about insulin administration as well as the amount of units her girlfriend/roommate currently injects for her type 1 diabetes management. She mentioned that she frequently checks her blood sugar at home, where her readings range from 30s – 100 s mg/dL. The patient reported missing several meals throughout the day due to time restraints and work. Her caregiver called the hospital to let the hospital staff know that the patient had been taking her girlfriend/roommate’s insulin resulting in her previous ED visits. She has also asked for insulin needles and may have taken insulin to gain attention. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1887_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1887_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..28d020c1a66e568b3ed8084c8d9ec150922441d6 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1887_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A five-year and nine-month-old female was referred to pediatric endocrinology consultation for central hypothyroidism, short stature, and hyperprolactinemia.

She received omeprazole to treat the GI problem. She has recurrent crises of abdominal pain since the first year of life. These crises were preceded by presyncopal symptoms that include sweating, pallor, hypotonia, and decay, which occur every two or three months. Abdominal ultrasonography and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were normal. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed and confirmed a gastric volvulus; therefore, a gastropexy was performed. After surgery, she continued episodes of abdominal pain. In the last ultrasound scan, findings of intrahepatic portosystemic shunt were observed. These findings were confirmed with abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan evidencing an intrahepatic cavo-caval shunt with agenesis/hypoplasia of the intrahepatic inferior vena cava. Liver function and ammonium levels were normal. +She also presented signs of autism disorder, poor language development and a global developmental delay. Multiple genetic studies were performed without any etiological diagnosis: karyotype, array-CGH, and methylation test for Prader-Willi/Angelman alterations on 15q11-q13 as previously reported . Electromyography showed a myopathic pattern with continuous myotonia. Muscle biopsy was normal and genetic testing for myotonic dystrophy was negative. Genomic DNA from blood samples of the patient and her parents were collected for whole-exome sequencing. A DNA library was prepared using the Ion AmpliSeqTM Exome RDY kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and sequencing of the DNA library was performed with ion proton sequencing technology. The Ion Reporter version 5.0 platform was used to align the patient’s and her parents’ data to the reference genome and identify genetic variants. Variant data were filtered using population frequency, frequency in database of in-house samples, mode of inheritance, evolutionary conservation, functional predictors, and disease association, followed by detailed assessment for genotype-phenotype correlation, disease mechanism, and literature review, as described previously . After exome sequencing and variant prioritization, the presence of the heterozygous variant c.3019 C > T in the MAGEL2 gene resulting in the occurrence of a premature stop codon (p.Gln1007Ter) was detected. Since neither of her parents presented this change, this variant seemed to develop de novo in the patient. In addition, a methylation test was performed in order to determine if this mutation was present in the active or inactivated allele of the gene. The expression of this gene is subjected to imprinting, in such a way that the maternal copy is not active due to a hypermethylation of the CpG island present around the 5’ end of MAGEL2 gene. The analysis of the variant after using restriction enzymes sensitive to methylation allowed to conclude that this variant was indeed present in the allele of paternal origin, that is, in the only active copy of the gene. Accordingly, this change c.3019 C > T detected in the MAGEL2 gene was considered pathogenic and the cause of most, if not all, of the clinical manifestations present in the patient (Appendix 1 in Supplementary File). +From an endocrinological point of view, at the age of four, the patient’s blood test revealed signs of central hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, and GH deficiency (thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH): 6.01 mU/L (ranged 0.5 - 4), free T4: 0.74 ng/dL (ranged 0.7 - 1.9), prolactin 452 ng/mL (ranged 2 - 29), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) - 1 < 25 ng/mL (ranged 32 - 259). Upon confirming these findings, she started treatment with L-thyroxine. When she was six years old she started treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), 0.02 mg/kg/day, by subcutaneous injection, but the treatment was discontinued after one or two months because of benign intracranial hypertension. Therapy was restarted when she was nine years old with a height of 101.2 ± 5.74 cm. The first-year growth response was the following: height 109.6 ± -4.72 cm and growth rate of 9.1 cm per year (P100). After two years, her height was 120.3 ± -4.09 cm. Adherence to rhGH was positive with a rise in the IGF-1 levels ranging 97 - 150 ng/mL. Under treatment, the muscular tone also improved and the patient started to walk. Prolactin levels normalized, but high values of ACTH (aderno cortico tropic hormone) were observed with normal cortisol values (ACTH 370 pg/mL (ranged 9.0 - 40.0), basal cortisol 11.5 μg/dL (8h: 6.20 - 19.40) in the last blood tests.

The left ventricle (LV) appeared D-shaped with preserved systolic function and exhibited an ejection fraction of 66%. Although CT showed no emboli in the pulmonary trunk , multiple blood flow defects revealed by lung perfusion scan suggested multiple emboli in the distal pulmonary artery , leading to the diagnosis of CTEPH, and promoted physicians to perform BPA in order to decrease mPAP before surgery. +Two BPA sessions were performed for bilateral pulmonary arteries by interventional cardiologists in another expert institution over a span of 6 days. The first BPA for A1, A2, A3, and A9 was performed, and the second BPA for A8b, A10a, and A10b was performed under local anesthesia. After BPA, SpO2 increased from 86 to 91%. Transthoracic echocardiography performed 2 days after the second BPA showed an improvement in the deformity of the LV and mild TR, and the estimated mPAP decreased to 33 mmHg . After the first BPA, warfarin was started and stopped the day before surgery, and preoperative bridging with heparin was initiated. We could not assess whether the subjective symptoms and exercise capacity of the patient improved after BPA, since she had stayed in bed all day because of depression in schizophrenia. +Total hysterectomy was performed 3 days after the second BPA. General anesthesia was selected because of the patient’s unstable mental status and perioperative anticoagulant therapy. Upon entering the operating room, her heart rate was 66 beats/min, blood pressure was 128/82 mmHg, and SpO2 was 92% under oxygen administration of 2 L/min. General anesthesia was induced using midazolam 3 mg, continuous infusion of remifentanil 0.1 μg/kg/min, and fentanyl 200 μg. After administration of rocuronium 40 mg, tracheal intubation was performed. Anesthesia was maintained using desflurane 3–4% in a 45% oxygen–air mixture with continuous infusion of remifentanil 0.1–0.2 μg/kg/min. A pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) was inserted in the right internal jugular vein. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed RV enlargement with mild TR and shape distortion of the interventricular septum during systole. +Introducer sheaths were placed in the right femoral artery and vein to allow for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in preparation for pulmonary hypertensive crisis. Hypoxia, hypercapnia, acidosis, hypothermia, and inadequate analgesia were avoided to prevent increase of pulmonary vascular resistance .

TEE indicated that there was no observable change in the size of the RV and LV cavity with mild TR; therefore, we determined that the patient was not in a pulmonary hypertensive crisis. The cause of the temporary hypotension was unclear; however, it was restored rapidly after administration of a total of 12 mg ephedrine. Thereafter, values ranged 90–120/50–60 mmHg for blood pressure, 30–40 mmHg for mPAP, and 1.9–2.4 L/min/m2 for cardiac index. +No vasopressor other than ephedrine was required. The operation time was 1 h and 36 min and blood loss was 88 g. Because of concerns about postoperative restlessness, the TEE probe, PAC, and introducer sheaths were removed before awakening. The patient was promptly awakened and the endotracheal tube was removed. Effective postoperative analgesia was achieved with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia using fentanyl. Postoperatively, the patient was managed in the general gynecology ward. On the fifth day after surgery, anticoagulant therapy was restarted with apixaban.

There was no elevation of hepatobiliary enzymes, and her renal and thyroid functions were normal. The autoimmune workup revealed elevated levels of IgG (25.3 g/L), IgA (3.26 g/L), and IgM (1.69 g/L) despite normal levels of C3 and C4 complement. Decreased CD4 + T lymphocyte counts and normal CD8 + T lymphocyte counts were identified. This patient was positive for auto-antibodies, including high-titer ANA (1:1000), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), rheumatoid factor (RF), and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies. Cytokine testing showed an elevated interleukin (IL)-6 level (62.4 pg/ml, reference range: 1.7 to 16.6 pg/ml). Pathology tests were negative, and malignancy was ruled out. HRCT scanning of the chest exhibited diffuse ground-glass opacities . Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed widened cerebral sulci and enlarged extra-axial spaces. No abnormalities were found in the electrocardiogram or the echocardiogram. The results of abdominal ultrasound and vascular ultrasonography were normal. +The female (child) patient was initially diagnosed with ILD accompanied by severe pneumonia and received anti-infection treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (2 g/kg). However, the patient’s symptoms did not respond to the treatment , and she experienced hypoxic respiratory failure on Day 12, which required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Therapies with methylprednisolone (MP) pulse (30 mg/kg/d×5d) were started on Day 13 followed by intravenous MP in 4 mg/kg daily dosage combined with a second course of IVIG (1 g/kg/d×3d). After the treatment, symptoms of dyspnea improved, and the ventilator was withdrawn on Day 22. At the same time, whole-exome sequencing was also performed, and genetic analysis by Sanger sequencing confirmed a heterozygous mutation (c.463G > A p.V155M) in Exon 5 of STING1 (NM_198282), which had been described to cause SAVI. The mutation was inherited from her father . RNA sequencing on the proband and her father was conducted, which found that the expression of genes related to the interferon pathway was significantly upregulated compared to that of healthy controls . After the diagnosis of SAVI, baricitinib (2.5 mg/day gradually increased to 3 times a day within 2 weeks) was added with prophylactic trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, and the dose of MP was reduced to 2 mg/kg/d on Day 32. Under appropriate treatment, the patient’s symptoms of fever, tachypnea, breathlessness, and cyanosis improved, while the repeated chest HRCT showed a better result . Low-flow oxygen support (SpO2 at 94–95% in room air) was required, and the patient was discharged on Day 48, following the treatment of MP (1 mg/kg/d) and baricitinib (reduced to 2 mg three times a day). The female (child) patient was followed for 14 months after discharge. She was infected with severe pneumonia in the fourth month. Although the respiratory symptoms improved after antibiotic therapy, combined treatment with pirfenidone (2.5 mg twice-daily dosage) was administered due to the progressed interstitial pneumonia observed in HRCT . In the sixth month, we reduced the MP dose to 2 mg/d (0.13 mg/kg/d), which has been maintained until now. During the follow-up, the lung HRCT scan was stable after treatment ; however, there was no obvious improvement. Laboratory indicators are still positive for ANA (1:1000), p-ANCA, RF, and CCP, while high IgG, IgA, and IgM immunoglobulin counts and low CD4 + T lymphocyte counts remain. Levels of inflammatory markers like CRP and IL-6 were normal, while levels of ESR (29 mm/H) and IFN-γ (20.1 pg/ml) were slightly elevated. Nevertheless, the evaluation of clinical features showed that the respiratory signs and symptoms have almost disappeared, except for slight dyspnea after strenuous exercise. The patient’s height increased from 87 cm (-1.08 SD) to 100 cm (-0.66 SD), weight increased from 11.5 kg (-0.82 SD) to 15.5 kg (-0.28 SD), and the fontanel closed. The little girl now lives a normal life. +After diagnosis, the male (father) patient received oral steroids and tofacitinib combination therapy for over a year, but there was no significant improvement in pulmonary symptoms. Six months ago, tofacitinib was changed to baricitinib combined with oral steroids, and the patient felt an improvement in breathing difficulties. However, similarly, there was no improvement in pulmonary imaging findings. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_189_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_189_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9df1c140f97b43f2a5ed56e5e12f0b61ea74c33a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_189_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +A 69 year old Hispanic female with a past medical history significant for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease status post revascularization, ischemic cardiomyopathy and chronic kidney disease had presented to our hospital for further evaluation and care. For the past few months the patient had suffered weight loss (approximately 30–35 lb), generalized malaise, low grade fevers (99.9 F), non-productive cough, myalgias and arthralgias. She did not endorse any night sweats or recent travel history, and there were no sick contacts at home. Prior to admission to our institution the patient was at an outside hospital and was being treated for sepsis with combinations of antibiotics including intravenous vancomycin, meropenem, echinocandin, metronidazole, and piperacillin tazobactam for 2 to 3 weeks duration as she was developing fevers and productive cough. +The physical exam yielded a thin and chronically ill appearing female patient. +Vital signs at the time of admission were notable for hypertension (186/79 mmHg). Her eyes did not show any conjunctival hemorrhaging or icterus, however there was conjunctival pallor. Oropharynx did not show any active exudates or ulcerative lesions. Her cardiac exam did not reveal any murmurs and her airways were clear to auscultation. Abdominal exam revealed palpable splenomegaly. Examination of the extremities did not show nail deformities including splinter hemorrhages or nail pitting. Her skin had no evidence of skin nodularities or other lesions. There was a 1 cm non tender, movable left axillary lymph node. The rest of the physical examination was unremarkable. +Initial laboratory work revealed that the patient had pancytopenia. White blood cell count (WBC) was stated at 2.4 K/uL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1.92 K/uL, hemoglobin (Hgb) of 11.6, and platelet count of 39,000/uL. B2-microglobulin was seen elevated at 9.2 mg/L. Basic metabolic panel obtained showed sodium 134 mEq/L, Potassium 3.5 mEq/L, Chloride 103 mEq/L, Bicarbonate 26 mEq/L, Blood urea nitrogen 30 mg/dl, Creatinine 0.90 mg/dl, glucose 220 mg/dl. Liver function panel showed Albumin 2.2 g/dl, normal transaminases, total bilirubin 0.8 mg/dl, direct bilirubin 0.4 mg/dl. Urine analysis showed 200 mg/dl of protein and occasional amorphous crystals. +Initial computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis during hospital admission showed a 15 cm spleen which was heterogenous and micronodular, as well as scattered abdominal and pelvic lymphadenopathy . No imaging signs of portal hypertension were noted. +During the hospitalization our patient was noted to become more confused and agitated, and there was concern that the patient was having seizures as she was seen numerous times to lose consciousness and awaken, with occasional loss of bladder function. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed subcortical non enhancing FLAIR hyper intense foci in the bilateral posterior occipital lobes. +Lumbar puncture and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) studies were further performed for further analysis, and showed: WBC 1; no red blood cells; protein 62 mg/dL; glucose 35 mg/dL; and, lactate dehydrogenase 234 mIU/mL. Most notable negative findings in the CSF included no detectable viral cultures for cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, herpes virus, and varicella zoster virus, negative cryptococcal antigen serology and negative bacterial and fungal cultures. +Electroencephalogram studies showed triphasic morphology waves with and without sharp negative component at 2–3 hertz. These were seen in continuum mostly with subtle waxing and waning features. To 0.5 mg intravenous alprazolam, above discharges had slowly resolved, replaced by organized background that consists of 6 hertz rhythms. Importantly, there was a clinical improvement after alprazolam; suggesting a nonconvulsive seizures responding to benzodiazepine. +Two weeks later after the initial CT imaging and after the patient was more stable from the neurological perspective in order to attempt a lymph node excisional biopsy, a PET-CT imaging was performed and showed complete resolution of the previously detected lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. . +Additional serologies for viral hepatitis and autoimmune etiology work up were performed. A bone marrow biopsy was performed and additional serum erythropoietin level, iron profile; cobalamin and folate level were determined. +The patient returned to the benign hematology clinic after discharged from the hospital. During her follow up appointment she appeared in better spirits and recovering well. Physical examination was notable for an absence of lymphadenopathy particularly in the cervical and axillary region, as well as no palpable organomegaly in the abdomen. It was further revealed that her antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer was highly positive (1:640), ESR 108 mm/hr with a CRP 6.74 mg/L. Negative viral hepatitis B, C and Human Immunodeficiency virus serologies. +Serum quantitative immunoglobulin showed a mildly elevated Ig A and Ig G level, without other abnormalities. Serum and urine protein electrophoresis did not reveal a monoclonal gammopathy. Serum free light chain levels showed kappa 96.3 mg/L and lambda 60.06 mg/dL with a normal ratio 1.6 in a patient with chronic kidney disease. +Complement C3 level was normal with a slightly elevated C4 at 46 mg/dL. +Bone marrow aspirate yielded a predominance of CD3 positive polytypical small T cells and a population of polyclonal B-cells by flow cytometry and negative for lymphoma or other malignant process. A focal lymphohistiocytic aggregate with granuloma formation was noted; occasional larger cells with prominent nucleolus identified; eosinophils were increased mildly in the vicinity of this aggregate. Acid fast bacilli and fungal stains were attempted; however the focal granuloma could not be appreciated at subsequent sections. +The patient’s pancytopenia was thought to be likely secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus and she was thus referred to rheumatology for further work up, and further testing included anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-RNP, anti-CCP antibody, ANCA vasculitis panel, direct antiglobulin test, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibody, anti-double-stranded DNA antibody, and anti-SSA and anti-SSB. All these tests were negative, thus ruling out systemic erythematous lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other connective tissue disorders. +The interval improvement and self-limited clinical course in our case led us to believe that her elevated ANA titers, her bone marrow granuloma were secondary to an EBV infection-related syndrome. Monospot test was not performed and at that point we evaluated for EBV PCR and EBER staining in the bone marrow. Initial EBV PCR results were positive (960 copies/mL), while Epstein–Barr virus-encoded small RNAs staining in the bone marrow was negative. Our in situ hybridization stain is validated to work on decalcified bone marrow trephine biopsies and all stains include an on-slide positive control. As such, the likelihood of a false negative result is low. A possible explanation includes a sampling factor with lack of infected B-cells in the bone marrow despite the presence of viremia. +Her follow up labs during subsequent clinic visits showed WBC 5.3 K/uL, ANC 3.15 K/uL, Hgb 7.4 g/dL, calculated reticulocyte index of 1.1 and platelets 172 K/uL. Iron was 68 ug/dL, transferrin 124.1 mg/dL, ferritin 2952 ng/mL and serum erythropoietin levels were 31.7 mIU/mL. Serum cobalamin was 394 pg/mL and serum folate 12.3 ng/mL. Since there was spontaneous interval resolution of her neutropenia and her thrombocytopenia our diagnosis at that point was cytopenias secondary to infectious mononucleosis and anemia of chronic kidney disease related to diabetes. +Our patient presented 7 weeks later at the emergency room with a recurrent febrile syndrome with diffuse cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly and worsening cytopenias: WBC 1800/uL, ANC 1480/uL, Hgb 8.3 gr/dL, platelet count 20,000/uL; a repeat EBV titer revealed 6580 copies/mL. CT imaging with contrast found bilateral axillary, mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy. Low volume retroperitoneal and pelvic lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly with numerous small ill-defined hypodense lesions was in the spleen and probably also within the liver . At this time a repeat bone marrow biopsy and an excisional lymph node biopsy were performed and reviewed. The bone marrow specimen showed a solitary large cell positive for CD30 identified in the clot. No atypical cells are identified in core biopsy as assessed by IHC for CD30 and Pax-5. EBER was positive in few and scattered cells. The lymph node sections demonstrated near-total effacement of the lymph node architecture by a neoplasm comprised of neoplastic cells with Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg morphology. The neoplastic cells were positive for CD15, CD30, PAX5 (weak), and MUM1. They were negative for CD3, CD20, CD45, ALK, and EMA. The findings were diagnostic of classical Hodgkin lymphoma, best subtyped as lymphocyte-depleted. . The expression of PAX5 with weak intensity coupled with MUM1 expression by the neoplastic cells is diagnostic of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The expression of PAX5, a gene encoding a B-cell-specific transcription factor, excluded T-cell lymphoma as a diagnostic consideration. It is worth noting also that flow cytometry done on a bone marrow sample with involvement by lymphoma showed no evidence of T-cell or B-cell immunophenotypic aberrancies. +The patient was started on ABVD chemotherapy regime, bleomycin was held secondary to patient’s history of cardiomyopathy. She received three cycles of chemotherapy with complete clinical remission. Additional cycles of chemotherapy were not completed given prolonged and severe chemotherapy-induced cytopenias that eventually recovered over the following months. A bone marrow biopsy at completion of treatment revealed no morphologic evidence of residual Hodgkin lymphoma. Her most recent surveillance PET-CT imaging, nine months from completion of treatment, showed no hypermetabolic lymphoma and continuing complete metabolic response to therapy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1909_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1909_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..696d309314efcef6fffbce9ee0c0516e6aac38da --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1909_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 42-year-old man with no other significant medical history was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma that was BRAF V617F mutated, with metastasis to liver, lung and adrenal glands. He had a past history of early stage melanoma that was initially diagnosed eight years ago, for which he underwent wide local excision with a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy. He did not receive any adjuvant chemo or immunotherapy. Subsequently, he started noticing multiple cutaneous lesions that were positive for melanoma, which led to a complete staging work up that revealed metastatic disease. Patient had an excellent performance status with no known history of endocrinopathies, including diabetes mellitus. He had normal fasting glucose levels, which was checked by his primary care physician. He was started on first line systemic immunotherapy with the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab. He completed three out of the four planned cycles of combined regimen, that was administered at ipilimumab 3 mg/kg IV and nivolumab 1 mg/kg IV every three weeks, prior to emergency room presentation. Chief complaints at this presentation included intractable nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. He reported to having more than 8 loose bowel movements a day, some of which were associated with blood streaking. In the ER his serum glucose was elevated to 728 mg/dL and he was in DKA with significant anion gap metabolic acidosis, for which he was admitted to intensive care unit for further management. He was given intravenous insulin as bolus and started on insulin drip along with IV fluids as per DKA protocol. His blood glucose levels subsequently improved. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level from admission was 6.5%, indicating a rather new onset diabetes mellitus. Stool studies returned negative for infectious etiologies and he was started on anti-motility agents (Imodium and Lomotil), which failed to provide any relief from diarrhea. Computerized tomography of abdomen and pelvis showed pan-colitis and he was started on prednisone 1 mg/kg daily for presumed immune mediated colitis. Despite steroids he continued to have diarrhea, which were intermittently bloody. He was then started on octreotide (50 mcg subcutaneous injection TID, which was later increased to 100 mcg TID), with which his diarrhea was controlled. We had planned to start him on infliximab (a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor) if he failed the octreotide trial. +Subsequently, he was discharged home on an insulin regimen for presumed new onset insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and prednisone taper for colitis. Initially he had trouble controlling blood glucose levels while on prednisone taper. But, once he was off prednisone, his IDDM was better controlled. One month later into follow up repeat hemoglobin A1c was 7.9%, but his glucose levels were much better controlled. Since no testing for autoimmune diabetes was done during his initial presentation, anti-GAD65 antibody, ZnT8 antibody, and IA-2 antibody testing was done during his subsequent clinic follow up. Anti- GAD65 antibody was <5 IU/ml, ZnT8 antibody was <10 U/Ml, and IA-2 antibody was <0.8 U/ml, all being within normal limits. Though DKA is more common with autoimmune or type 1 diabetes mellitus, it can be seen with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Since, patient had no evidence of diabetes or pre-diabetes prior to immunotherapy, we think treatment with combined checkpoint blockade is what led to DKA. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1922_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1922_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fd183ba6f2484d6ab4407211feed9b269d0b5471 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1922_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 40-year-old white Caucasian man presented to our outpatient service complaining of right hip pain.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed moderate-to-severe sigmoid sinus stenosis(SSS) at its junction with the IJV (stenosis of approximately 50%–70%) and a high JB , and distal venous sinus manometry was performed. Initially, we thought that the PT in the right ear might be due to the SSS increasing the blood flow velocity creating a vortex in the high JB, so that the PT sound entered the inner ear. Two other evidences supported our diagnosis: first, during DSA venography, the contrast catheter passed through the stenosis site, and when the pressure was measured at the distal end, it changed the direction of blood flow at the site, and the venous vortex flow was reduced, and the patient's PT disappeared; second, by the right side neck-pressure test, when the pressure was increased to a certain degree, the PT disappeared on the patient's right side after the venous reflux was blocked, and the left side hearing was not changed.

When the firefighters arrived, he was lying in his bed unconscious and pulseless. Ventricular fibrillation was observed on an automated external defibrillator monitor, and 2 minutes of chest compression with 150 J shock was applied. Recovery of spontaneous circulation ensued just after defibrillation, and the patient was transferred to the emergency department (ED). Upon arrival, erythema with vesicles was found in his face, neck, chest wall, both axillary areas, and the back. In addition, he had a low estimated Glasgow Coma Scale score (3 points) and weak respiration, so intubation and mechanical ventilation support were applied. The initial blood pressure was 88/46 mmHg. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis, elevated hepatic enzymes (aspartate transaminase 310 U/L, alanine transaminase 184 U/L) and relatively normal levels of C-reactive protein (0.07 mg/dL) and procalcitonin (0.07 ng/dL). On the other hand, the level of serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) was markedly increased to 1328 pg/mL. The initial arterial blood gas (ABG) showed hypoxemia with a low partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2 37 mmHg) as well as metabolic acidosis with a serum lactate level of 12.6 mmol/L. The percentage of serum COHb was 59%, indicating severe CO poisoning. An initial chest X-ray showed diffuse bilateral infiltration, and chest computed tomography (CT) revealed diffuse ground-glass attenuation with an anterior–posterior density gradient by dense consolidation in dependent areas, which suggests an early state of ARDS . Therapeutic hypothermia was applied for prevention of hypoxic brain damage. Shock requiring infusion of norepinephrine exceeding the rate of 0.5 μg/kg/minute despite adequate fluid resuscitation was observed after sedation along with therapeutic hypothermia. Even with 100% of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) and maximal positive end expiratory pressure, hypoxemia (PaO2 61 mmHg) as well as hypercapnia (partial pressure of carbon dioxide 58 mmHg) progressed. Prone position ventilation and application of inhaled nitric oxide were considered, but were not implemented due to concern for rapid progression of shock. Therefore, we decided to conduct veno-veno extracorporeal membranous oxygenator (V-V ECMO) via both right and left femoral venous cannulation. Despite V-V ECMO application, hypoxemia and shock progressed. Thus, direct hemoperfusion with polymyxin B-immobilized fiber (PMX-DHP) was indicated and conducted immediately to prevent further development of cytokine storm. PMX-DHP (TORAYMYXINTM PMX-20R, TorayMedical, Tokyo, Japan) was applied with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) via a nontunneled, double-lumen catheter inserted in left jugular vein, with a starting blood flow rate of 150 mL/minute for 24 hours. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) with ECMO and PMX-DHP. In the ICU on post-burn day 1, flexible bronchoscopy was done to assess degree of inhalation injury and to toilet the airway. Bronchoscopy revealed severe edema and congestion in the bronchial wall with carbon soot deposition. With V-V ECMO maintenance and 24 hours of PMX-DHP, serum COHb percentage and IL-6 level normalized, and dramatic improvement on chest X-ray was seen within 96 hours. On the seventh and eighth ICU days, the patient was weaned from V-V ECMO and the ventilator, respectively. On the 11th ICU day, the patient was moved to the general ward with a plan for systematic rehabilitation including respiratory rehabilitation. Upon transfer, the patient was alert without cognitive dysfunction, and electroencephalogram along with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging showed no definitive signs of hypoxic brain damage. However, both sensory impairment and motor weakness were observed in the right lower extremity with an abnormal result on electromyography suggesting right lumbar plexopathy.

Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed abnormal signals in the right parietal lobe. Brain computed tomography (CT) and enhanced MRI on Nov. 10 showed an ill-defined infiltrating enhanced mass in the right parietal lobe with perilesional edema, which pointed to the possibility of a low-grade glioma. Resection of the mass in the right parietal lobe was performed on Nov. 12. The specimen exhibited granulomatous changes and inflammatory perivascular infiltrate with positive CD68 staining, negative acid-fast, periodic acid-achiff and CD235a staining. The patient consequently received antibiotic therapy: intravenous Linezolid (0.2 g twice daily for 9 days). His left limb weakness improved slightly, as seen in his activity of daily living (ADL) scores. The ADL score was 75 after the surgery in comparison to 70 before the surgery. However, the patient had a headache accompanied by diplopia and difficulty walking when he was taking hyperbaric oxygen therapy on Nov. 28. An emergency head CT on Dec. 2 showed that a new low-density focus occurred in the left occipital lobe . The blood tests on Dec. 5 revealed that erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 31 mm/h (0–15), hypersensitive C-reactive protein was 0.8 mg/L (0-1), immunoglobulin G subtype 4 was 4.04 g/L and antinuclear antibody was weakly positive. The white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and platelets were in normal range except for a slight decrease of red blood cells and hemoglobin level. The other tests including the vasculitis antibodies, fungal (1-3)-β-D glycan, and galaetomannan test were normal. Brain enhanced MRI on Dec.7 showed a new abnormal signal focus in the left occipital-parietal lobe, and the operation area of the right parietal lobe had more obvious effusion and edema . Lumbar puncture on Dec. 7 revealed high intracranial pressure (330 mmH2O), elevation in white cell count (320*106/L, neutrophils 45%, lymphocytes 55%) and protein (1041 mg/L), as well as a slight decrease in glucose (2.01 mmol/L) and chloride (116.1 mmol/L). No acid fast bacilli, fungi and bacteria were found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) smear and culture. Despite a treatment with intravenous Ceftriaxone Sodium (2 g twice daily for 4 days), the patient still had an obvious headache, diplopia, non-fluent speech and worse muscle strength in his left limbs. Neurological examination on Dec. 10 showed left eyeball adduction, left eyeball abduction, and right eyeball abduction were impaired. Re-examination of lumbar puncture on Dec.11 showed that the CSF data were getting worse (intracranial pressure 330 mmH2O, white cell count 480*106/L with neutrophils 40%, lymphocytes 60% and protein 1422 mg/L, glucose 1.24 mmol/L and chloride 111.5 mmol/L). Intravenous Vancomycin (1.0 g iv drip Q12h) and Meropenem (0.5 g iv drip Q6h) were applied on Dec.11 due to consideration of intracranial infection caused by bacteria. High-throughput next-generation sequencing (Vision Medicals, Guangzhou) detected the presence of Balamuthia mandrillaris with 112 sequence copy reads in serum and 539 sequence copy reads in the CSF . GAE caused by Balamuthia mandrillaris was thus diagnosed. On Dec.14, the treatment was adjusted to compound treatment with sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 0.48 g×2 tablets po.

The patient often went fishing in the past 10 years and worked occasionally in a paddy field. He had no known tick bites or any skin lesions. +Re-examination of brain MRI on Dec. 23 showed larger lesions on the left cerebral hemisphere with enhancement, causing left subfalcine herniation . The patient was transferred to the department of neurosurgery and was re-operated on Dec. 27. Histological examination of the left occipital lobe confirmed amoebic trophozoite gathering around blood vessels under high magnification . The presence of B. mandrillaris with 3723 sequence copy reads was also detected in brain tissue via NGS . After surgery, re-examination of brain MRI on Jan. 6, 2021 indicated that the lesion and subfalcine herniation of the left cerebral hemisphere were relieved slightly than before . However, the patient developed progressive confusion. A repeated head CT on Jan. 13 revealed that the left subfalcine herniation became worse after medication therapy was discontinued for two weeks.

This prompted a repeat bone biopsy in attempts to define the causative pathogen and direct further antimicrobial therapy. Meanwhile, empiric antibiotics to cover typical pathogens were continued. Two weeks following the initial vertebral body biopsy there was growth of acid fast bacilli from the bony specimen, which was further identified as MAC by hybridization probe. In vitro susceptibility testing indicated a favorable resistance profile with susceptibility to clofazimine, rifabutin, clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampin. Treatment with ethambutol and azithromycin was initiated after receiving susceptibility results. Two-drug therapy was selected due to the favorable susceptibility of the MAC isolate, in addition to efforts to mitigate potential adverse drug effects and medication interactions. She had no evidence of MAC pulmonary involvement on chest CT and the etiology of her infection was uncertain. Two months later she was seen in follow-up with resolution of her symptoms. She will continue antibiotics to complete a 12-month course. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1980_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1980_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..069286d921ee33165f5a6b2658235364a3573161 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1980_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 65-year-old female was relatively well before and had history of diabetes mellitus without medical control.

Whilst she was swimming close to the seacoast, only three meters away from the beach yet in waist-deep water, she felt a stab to her right hypochondrial area. After the first shock, she realized it was a fish that had attacked her and she pulled it out of her body. Neither she nor any other bather swimming nearby saw any fish approaching her. However, after her injury, some of the bathers dived and saw the fish running away towards deeper water. The patient was withdrawn from the sea and, having received first aid by the local lifeguard, she was immediately transferred to the island's Medical Center by her companions. Witnesses' testimony, which was enforced by a part of the fish bill, measured to be 20 cm, found at the bottom of the sea in the area of the incident by the Coast Guard of Santorini Island led ichthyologists to identify the fish as a billfish, Xiphias gladius (swordfish). +Her vital signs on presentation to our hospital were: blood pressure 113/71 mm Hg, heart rate 81 beats/minute, arterial blood oxygen saturation 100% and temperature 38.6°C. Physical examination was remarkable only in the abdomen which was scaphoid, tender to palpation with diminished bowel sounds and a 4 cm trauma at the mid-axillary line below the right costal margin. The patient received a broad-spectrum antibiotic and a prophylactic tetanus toxoid injection. Laboratory tests showed a haematocrit of 28.5%, haemoglobin levels of 9.7 g/dL, white blood cell count of 25 × 109/L (with 94.10% polymorphonuclear cell type), and platelet count of 152 × 109/L. The coagulation profile was within normal limits. Thoracic and abdominal X-rays performed at the island's Medical Center did not reveal any pathology whilst F.A.S.T (Focused Assessment Sonography in Trauma) performed there marked out free intraperitoneal fluid at the right circumrenal and Duglas areas. An abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scan in our hospital revealed: laceration of right liver lobe, distension of inferior vena cava, distension of right renal vein and a hyperdense bone-type foreign body (swordfish bill tip) retroperitoneally. The latter had entered the spinal canal through the body of the second lumbar vertebra (L2) after crossing the abdominal cavity . CT reconstruction images demonstrating the tip of the swordfish bill lodged within the spinal canal were produced . The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the lumbar region indicated a longitudinal foreign body, which had reached the interspinous space of the second and third lumbar spinous processes, through the body of the L2 and the spinal canal . Myelography showed that the foreign body penetrated tabular roots and spinal canal at the area mentioned above and further neurological examination was recommended. The neurological (sensory and mobility) examination of both legs, as well as the sensory examination of the perineum did not reveal any neurological deficit. +After all diagnostic tests had been completed and interpreted, the patient was transfused with one unit of blood and assigned to surgery for intra-abdominal bleeding. Penetration of the abdomen was present at the mid-axillary line, below the right costal margin. The abdomen was explored through bilateral subcostal incision. Approximately 1 litre of blood was aspirated from the abdominal cavity and a large right retroperitoneal hematoma was identified. The right liver lobe was mobilized and the portal triad was controlled with a sling. Liver had been penetrated from segment IVa posteriorly and the inferior vena cava (IVC) had been lacerated medially. The duodenum was mobilized and the retroperitoneum was opened. Blood and clots were evacuated from the retroperitoneal space and the IVC was repaired with proline 4-0. Cholecystectomy was performed at this stage because of laceration of the cystic duct. The gastrocolic ligament was subsequently divided and the pancreas and aorta were explored. An unsuccessful effort was done in order to find the foreign body (sword fish bill tip) at the level of L2 vertebra, which was revealed at the CT and MRI scan. A penrose drainage was placed below the liver and the wound was closed. +After the completion of the surgery, the patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for monitoring and planning of the foreign body removal in future. She was hospitalized there for three days. The patient's clinical state and laboratory parameters were evaluated from orthopedics of our hospital who recommended the patient's mobilization. After that she was transferred to the Third Surgical department for further medical attendance and laboratory tests. On the third postoperative day, she exhibited fever up to 38.5°C which was resistant to antibiotic therapy. Blood cultures were taken and lumbar puncture was performed; the collected sample of cerebrospinal fluid was sent for biochemical and microbiological analysis. Both examinations were negative for bacterium growth. The new thoracic and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan did not show significant changes compared with CT on her admission to the emergency with the exception of subcapsular fluid collection of increased density at left liver lobe, which was found increased in new CT examination 4 days later. CT- guided drainage of that fluid, which was a biloma, was performed and drainage tube was left at the collection's area. The Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), that was performed three days later, did not reveal any pathology of bile ducts or bile leak. The new MRI scan of lumbar region indicated L2 inflammation and arachnoiditis of some tabular roots (Arrow; Figure ). The patient then was transferred to the Neurosurgical department of our hospital and underwent an operation in order to remove the swordfish bill tip by approaching it from the spinal canal (posteriore approach). Laminectomy of the second and third lumbar vertebra was accomplished and the foreign body was removed intact easily . There was L2 vertebral decomposition as a result of local osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis of these vertebras was the result of bone infection by bacteria of the epithelium of swordfish bill which invaded the bone directly after the swordfish attack. Consequently, when the cause of osteomyelitis - tip of swordfish bill - removed surgically, patient's fever declined since the first postoperative day and the overall condition improved significantly. Patient was mobilized on the third postoperative day. However, she was hospitalized further in order to receive intravenous antibiotic therapy. She left the hospital on the thirty fifth postoperative day, fourteen days after the abdominal drainage was taken out. Antibiotics were continued for further four more weeks. +Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for the publication of the case report. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2016_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2016_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3bc9650c76842a6547678bab5efda84bc1660949 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2016_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +A 6-year-old female child was diagnosed with acquired aplastic anemia in December 2019.

She continued to have significant intestinal bleeding requiring 86 mls/kg of packed red cell transfusion for 7 days. Intestinal mucosa appeared friable on a serial ultrasound scan with a risk of perforation. Therefore, endoscopic biopsies were not attempted, and monitoring of intestines was done with serial ultrasonography. +Narsoplimab was increased from twice a week to thrice a week on Day+ 45 because of significant intestinal bleeding.

The cardiac biomarkers were negative. +Normal sinus rhythm, Q-wave in inferior leads and T-wave inversion in lateral leads. . +Mild cardiomegaly, of note, a homogeneous opacity was observed adjacent to the LV. . +Revealed a saccular image in the LV posterolateral wall, which, due to its characteristics, suggested a thrombosed PSA in the LV free -wall. . +Showed a spherical-shaped left ventricular cavity with segmental wall-motion abnormalities, a LV ejection fraction of 40% by 3D method, PSA involving the basal and mid segments of both, inferolateral and anterolateral wall; with a narrow neck (38 mm), a shunt of LV to PSA was observed in color Doppler. . +A viability protocol rest imaging/4-h redistribution imaging/24-h redistribution imaging was performed and showed a myocardial infarction located in the inferolateral wall, which involved the inferoseptal region; non-transmural in the apical segment and transmural in basal and mid segment, without signs of viability in the delayed redistribution imaging. . +Multi-vessel coronary artery disease, with involvement of the left main coronary artery and high SYNTAX score [40 pts.]. Left ventriculography was not performed due to elevated end diastolic pressure and because of the previously reported left ventricular mural thrombus. +The case was discussed by the heart team. Due to the high SINTAX score and the mechanical complication, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) plus aneurysmectomy with geometric reconstruction was considered. On-pump CABG was performed with internal thoracic artery anastomosis to the left anterior descendent coronary artery. A giant posterolateral wall LV PSA of approximately 7 cm was observed; described with a “petrous” consistency and adhered to the posterior pericardium. Due to the previously mentioned findings, it was not possible to perform the aneurysmectomy, as the cardiovascular surgical team considered the benefit was not worth compared to the risk of performing the procedure, so the surgery was concluded. The patient was discharged five days after CABG and he is currently asymptomatic, in NYHA functional class II and is followed up as an outpatient in our hospital. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_205_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_205_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5e059a5bb402e901c2661b99a5bbc185e3ecde08 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_205_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 68-year-old man underwent right lower lobectomy for invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (pT2aN1M0 Stage IIB) in June 2016 by an open thoracotomy approach.

Treatment options discussed at the supra-regional multidisciplinary team meeting (ENETS Centre of Excellence) considered metyrapone, bilateral adrenalectomy, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) or cytotoxic chemotherapy. Mutational analysis of the gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) was negative.A repeat liver biopsy was performed to provide an accurate histological grade of the liver metastases, on the premise that primary NETs, and their synchronous/metachronous metastases, frequently differ in grade and proliferative index (Ki-67). Immunohistochemistry was strongly positive for chromogranin and synaptophysin with a Ki-67 index of 20% (ACTH staining not performed) (Figure ). The treatment decision based on this result was to administer conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy with streptozocin, 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin, with metyrapone given pre-chemotherapy to control the hypercortisolaemic state. Incremental doses of metyrapone (up to 1 g qds) effected a dramatic clinical response (with resolution of his symptoms and reduction of his insulin dosage) and an equally dramatic biochemical response (normalisation of serum potassium and lowering of mean cortisol concentrations on cortisol day curves) prior to his chemotherapy.Three months after starting his chemotherapy, he had managed to completely discontinue his metyrapone with excellent mean cortisol concentrations on his cortisol day curve of 315 nmol/L (Figure graph), with serum ACTH concentration of 11pmol/l.

An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed that his three main hepatic veins were completely obstructed and that the suprahepatic IVC had stenosis involving a membranous-like structure . Moreover, the CT scan revealed severe ascites and esophagogastric varices. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lack of patency and scarring in the main hepatic veins . The patient’s laboratory findings before transplantation showed elevated total bilirubin and decreased platelet and prothrombin time (total bilirubin, platelet, and prothrombin time was 3.8 mg/dl, 150 × 103/ml, 56.2%, respectively). His Child–Pugh score was 11 (grade C), and his Model for End-stage Liver Disease score was 14. He was considered to have no blood disorders that could cause coagulation abnormalities, such as abnormal protein C and S activities. Accordingly, he was diagnosed with primary BCS and decompensated liver failure. Endovascular treatment for the main hepatic veins was considered; however, we recognized that it could be impossible to restore the patency of the hepatic vessels, and we did not perform the preoperative angiography. In addition, his esophagogastric varices were severe. For these reasons, we decided to perform LDLT 5 months after referral. +Donor candidates for LDLT were limited in this case. The eventual donor was his 46-year-old mother, who had no notable medical history and whose blood type was O Rh (+), identical to that of the patient. Based on preoperative CT investigation, we calculated that her estimated whole liver volume was 1047 ml. Her estimated left-lobe graft volume, estimated graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR), and estimated ratio of liver remnant were 303 ml, 0.49, and 71.0%, respectively, which indicated that the size of the left-lobe graft was insufficient for the patient. On the other hand, in the right-lobe graft without the middle hepatic vein, the estimated graft volume was 734.2 ml, and the estimated GRWR was 1.19, which were sufficient for the patient. However, the estimated liver remnant was only 285.7 ml (31%), which was not applicable for our donor selection criteria. Under these mismatches, neither left-lobe graft nor right-lobe graft could be selected. For these reasons, we considered her RPSG, which could provide sufficient liver volume for the patient (estimated graft volume was 609 ml and GRWR was 0.99), and a safe residual liver volume for the donor (estimated ratio of liver remnant was 38.1%). There were no identified abnormalities of the portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct, or hepatic vein in preoperative CT and MRI. +Donor hepatectomy was performed with a mid-line incision, and liver mobilization was performed using a laparoscopy-assisted technique. During mobilization, the root of the middle hepatic vein and the right hepatic vein (RHV) were identified. Then, anterior and posterior branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein were skeletonized. The transection line was marked on the liver surface according to the RHV and to the demarcation line when the posterior branch of the portal vein was temporarily clamped. Following a hanging maneuver, parenchymal transection was performed using a cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspiration system without occlusion of portal vein inflow. After transection of the liver parenchyma was completely finished, the biliary duct and portal vein of the right posterior branches were cut. Because the right posterior branch of the hepatic artery was thin and it was considered that anastomosis of this artery with recipient hepatic artery increased risks of artery-related complications, the donor’s right anterior branch of the hepatic artery was sacrificed after the artery blood flow in the anterior liver segment was detected by Doppler ultrasound with temporary clamping of the right hepatic artery, and then the right hepatic artery was cut at the root. Finally, the inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) and RHV were cut, and the liver graft was harvested. The RPSG was flushed with 1000 ml of University of Wisconsin solution from the portal vein. The actual RPSG weight was 570 g. +Recipient surgery was started simultaneously with donor surgery. Prior to the abdominal incision, 16 cm of the SFV was harvested from his left leg for reconstruction of the IVC and hepatic vein. During the operation, there were approximately 3500 ml of ascites, and dense adhesions were seen around the IVC. The native liver was dark and hardened because of the liver congestion. The common bile duct, right and left hepatic arteries, and portal veins were cut, and then all three major hepatic veins, which were thickened and scarred, were cut while preserving the recipient IVC. Explantation of native, diseased liver was completed. The diseased liver weight was 1765 g, and the roots of three major hepatic veins were completely occluded. +At bench surgery, a longitudinal incision was made from the caudal side of the SFV graft, followed by ligation of the cranial side of the SFV graft. The graft RHV and IRHV was anastomosed to the sidewall of the SFV graft for patch plasty of the IVC . +For graft implantation, the infrahepatic IVC was mobilized and exposed, and then cross-clamping was performed. Venoveno bypass was not used during graft implantation because the collaterals were well developed, and the hemodynamic parameters were stable after IVC clamping. The thickened anterior suprahepatic IVC was longitudinally cut and opened, and the stenotic lesion of the IVC was identified . There were only a few patent millimeters in the IVC due to the membranous web-like obstruction, and there was no IVC thrombosis. The stenotic and thickened wall of the IVC was resected, and then an anastomotic orifice was created . As the caliber of IVC orifice did not coincide with the RHV–IRHV–SFV graft, the SFV graft was cut between RHV and IRHV before anastomosis. The RPSG was placed into the recipient, and then patch cavoplasty procedures were performed. The RHV‒SFV graft patch was anastomosed to the IVC orifice using continuous 5-0 prolene sutures. After the graft portal vein was anastomosed to the patient’s main portal vein trunk and portal reperfusion started, Doppler ultrasonography showed satisfactory hepatic venous outflow, without any venous graft congestion. The IRHV with SFV patch was directly anastomosed to the IVC using side-clamping of the IVC after portal reperfusion started. Thereafter, the graft right hepatic artery was anastomosed to the patient’s right hepatic artery. Finally, bile duct reconstruction, involving a choledochojejunostomy, was performed. The surgical time, cold ischemia time, and warm ischemia time were 1028, 235, and 80 min, respectively. The blood loss during surgery was 8486 ml. +The donor had no complications and recovered rapidly, and was discharged at postoperative day (POD) 9. The recipient’s postoperative course was also uneventful. Daily Doppler ultrasound revealed patency of the RHV‒SFV graft without venous congestion of the liver, and postoperative CT imaging clearly showed the graft RHV and IRHV with no stenosis in the IVC . At 13 days after transplantation, the laboratory data showed a slight increase in liver transaminase, and angiography was performed to rule out the hepatic venous outflow block. The postoperative angiography showed no occlusion of the IVC and RHV, and the mean blood pressure of the peripheral RHV, the root of the RHV, IVC, and right atrium were 7 mmHg, 8 mmHg, 7 mmHg, and 4 mmHg, respectively. These findings revealed that the IVC and the graft RHV had sufficient patency, and there was no liver congestion.

The vitreous was quiet and retinal vessels were of normal caliber. Details on the founds of right eye were impossible to asses due the changes in anterior segment. We performed ultrasound examination and we performed intraocular lens calculation. Due pathological changes on the right eye we were unable to accurately measure the true corneal power values so we performed intraocular lens calculation for the left eye.

Blunt dissection and hemodynamic control were performed afterward. The left ureter was cut at a height to reach the vesicoureteral junction and macroscopically no kidney image remained at all in the resected tissue . After that, the specimens were taken to the pathology laboratory for histopathological investigation Fig. . +The results of the pathological examination concluded several things. Most of the primitive kidney tissue with parenchyma had been replaced with fibrotic tissue. In several places such as atrophic dilated kidney tubules and a small part of the glomerulus, colloid-like material (thyroidization) can be seen. This pathological examination does not identify the cortex and medulla of the kidney because it is quite difficult to process. However, foci of ureteral tissue with monomorphic urothelial cells were identified. Apart from that, the fibrous stroma is edematous and fibrotic with chronic inflammatory cells, mostly lymphocytes. The blastema component also cannot be seen, but metaplastic cartilage islands could be seen in our case Fig. . +Further examination immunostaining using CD10, CK7 and p63 which aims to check the presence of renal glomeruli and tubules, urothelial cells and urothelial basal cells. The examination results of each immunostaining test included, the CD10 test gave positive staining results in the glomerulus and remaining renal tubular cells, as well as very positive CK7 staining in urothelial cells and positive p63 expression in urothelial basal cells. The conclusion that can be drawn is that after the initial examination was carried out and the diagnosis was established in the form of unilateral renal agenesis, the diagnosis changed because the results of histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations were more likely to lead to a diagnosis of severe dysplasia or aplastic kidney Fig. . +After the surgical management was carried out, the condition of the patient showed positive results because there was a complete resolution of the condition of fever and dysuria which had been the main complaint so far. Video urodynamic studies were performed two months after surgery. The results show that the patient's bladder capacity is 120 cc. From the examination, it was concluded that this patient was already experiencing a normal condition because there were no abnormalities found when the filling phase had reached 120 cc, grade I right ureteral reflux, detrussor overactivity, normal bladder compliance and bladder capacity. When it was time to urinate, the patient was able to void 75 cc of urine and 75 cc of post-voiding volume. For now, the condition of spina bifida experienced by patients is still the responsibility of the neurosurgeon for follow-up and management. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2249_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2249_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a6f2d93e272b382d9f08306cfa963210b7f28eed --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2249_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +We present the case of a 16-year-old Caucasian man who attended the acute admissions unit of our hospital with a history of an acutely painful, red, and swollen right hemiscrotum for about five to six hours.

In addition, he displayed a delay in speech and generalized learning difficulties at school. Tubulopathy was identified at the age of 8 years. Bartter syndrome was erroneously diagnosed at first. The patient received treatment with potassium gluconate, magnesium, spironolactone and indomethacin. At the same age, sensorineural deafness was detected and a hearing aid was used. At the start of his teenage years, this young man had infrequent secondarily generalized focal motor seizures unresponsive to several medication changes. At 14 years of age, he was a pleasant, cooperative teenager with mild intellectual disability and normal cranial nerve examination (II–XII), normal muscle strength in the upper and lower extremities, mild spastic hypertonia in the lower limbs, increased deep tendon reflexes and bilateral Babinski signs. There was mildly decreased superficial sensation in the lower extremities and no disturbance of position sensation or vibration. Romberg sign was absent. His gait was broad based and slow and he was unable to walk in tandem. Examination for cerebellar signs revealed the absence of tremor and dysmetria, while rapid alternating movements were slow and uncoordinated, resulting in dysdiadochokinesis. +Wakefulness and sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) showed slow background rhythms and no epileptiform activity.

The patient was heterozygous for two KCNJ10 mutations: a missense mutation (p.R65C) that is already published and a not yet published duplication (p.F119GfsX25) that creates a premature truncation of the protein . Both mutations are likely damaging. The missense mutation p.R65C has been also listed as disease causing in various databases including OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man). In addition, prediction software agrees. As for the truncating frameshift mutation p.F119GfsX25, it is noted that truncating mutations in particular when occurring at the beginning of the protein are most likely damaging. Prediction software agrees here too. +Parental testing has not been performed, and therefore, we do not know for certain whether the mutations are in different alleles, but this also seems quite likely as the missense mutation has already been described in a patient not harboring the additional duplication (and that the same mutation occurred twice is not impossible but very unlikely).

We advised the patient’s family to conduct a CT angiogram (CTA); the patient’s healthcare team informed the family that CTA would be harmful to the patient within two weeks of presentation and would not provide conclusive results. This statement contradicts the international guidelines, which recommend urgent treatment for suspected ruptured intracranial aneurysms, and indicates CTA as the investigation of choice for cases of SAH due to aneurysmal rupture. However, it is essential to note that those guidelines are not considered standard guidelines in the Iraqi health system and transfer. +Following this, based on our request, the patient’s family took the responsibility on themselves to transfer the patient, and a CTA was conducted in a nearby private facility. This should not be a usual instant where the family takes responsibility for taking steps in the management of a potentially life-threatening case such as SAH. In addition, more patient transfer in a nonambulance or hospital-supervised facility has its risks. Moreover, the report of the CTA showed that it was negative for any aneurysm and any other vascular malformation.

After an initial assessment of the patient and revision of the investigations, we decided to conduct a diagnostic catheter angiography, which surprisingly revealed not one but four aneurysms. Those aneurysms included aneurysms in the right posterior communicating artery (PComA), superior hypophyseal artery, intraorbital ophthalmic arteries, and left PComA . +Due to the lack of medical insurance in Iraq and the high financial burden for endovascular treatment that can be applied in such cases of multiple aneurysms, the family decided that they could not afford such costly intervention.

However, after clipping, we were convinced that the PComA aneurysm was not the ruptured one. While trying to explore the adjacent right hypophyseal aneurysm, we encountered a huge intraoperative rupture from it that was managed promptly by applying a pilot clip followed by a dissection of the neck. Then, we secured the aneurysmal neck with a permanent clip.

In addition, the hypometabolism affected association cortices including the frontal, lateral temporal, inferior parietal lobule, and posterior cingulate gyri; among these, frontal association areas including the dorsolateral, medial and orbitofrontal areas were more dominantly affected than the other lobes. Lastly, in addition to cerebral lesions, the midbrain was also affected. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2441_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2441_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..dacf40fc5110052c3fd6f05e4e3d825d885926d7 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2441_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +We report on a 33 year-old male patient followed at our center for a unrepaired tricuspid atresia type IC with unrestricted ventricular septal defect with left-right shunting, a non-restricted atrial septal defect with right-left shunting, and a functional single left ventricle with normal systolic function . His past medical history included two attempts of pulmonary artery banding at the age of 15 and 19 years at initial presentation at our center, requiring subsequent debanding due to ventricular arrhythmia. The patient declined any further surgical interventions and developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) class I.4.4. according to the Nice classification , with a pulmonary resistance of 7.5 WU and a persisting significant left to right shunt (Qp:Qs = 2.5 :1). Oxygen saturation at room air was 86 %. The patient is also known for cardiac cachexia, asthma without allergic components, and a restrictive syndrome of extra-pulmonary origin (mainly due to scoliosis and post-thoracotomy status). He developed secondary erythrocytosis and suffered a single episode of vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attack (TIA) in 2010, presumably of embolic origin. Anticoagulation with acenocoumarol was started. In 2016, he experienced a first episode of paroxysmal tachycardic atrial fibrillation (AFib) requiring emergency electric cardioversion. At that time, therapy with amiodarone and metoprolol was initiated and anticoagulation changed to apixaban 2.5 mg bid. In 2018, a second episode of tachycardic Afib associated with hemodynamic instability required an urgent electrical cardioversion. While he was euthyroid in the past, thyroid function tests performed in fall 2019 documented overt thyrotoxicosis with a TSH of < 0.005 mUI/l (0.27–4.3), a FT4 of 64 pmol/l (9–19), and a free T3 of 10.4 pmol/l (2.6–5.7) (Abbbott Architect immunometric assays). Antibodies against the TSH receptor were not elevated (0.51 U/l; reference <1.75) A thyroid ultrasound showed a goiter without nodules and with diminished vascularity. The diagnosis of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT), most likely of mixed nature, was established and treatment with carbimazole and prednisone initiated. The biochemical control remained unsatisfactory despite therapy with carbimazole 40 mg qd, prednisone 40 mg qd, and sodium perchlorate 900 mg qd. In parallel, the patient had recurrent episodes of tachycardic Afib leading finally to a prolonged hospitalization and a further electric cardioversion. The patient eventually developed persistent Afib which remained tachycardic and symptomatic despite the intensification of antiarrhythmic treatment with amiodarone, nadolol, digoxin and diltiazem. +Due to the refractoriness of Afib to medical treatment and the evidence of a newly compromised ventricular systolic function, the indication for semi-elective total thyroidectomy was established. Because of the very high anesthesiological risk due to the compromised cardiovascular and pulmonary situation, the indication for a thyroidectomy under local anesthesia was established in a multidisciplinary meeting. Rather than opting for intravenous sedation, it was decided to use hypnosis. All procedural steps were discussed and explained in detail with the patient. In particular, the anaesthesiologist-hypnotherapist provided thorough information about the hypnosis and local anesthesia. This also included a comprehensive collection of personal data of the patient with a focus on memory, observational capacity, understanding, personal activities, environment, and sensorial aspects . The patient provided informed consent and was willing to accept the risks of a general anesthesia in case of conversion to general anesthesia would have been necessary. +After standard monitoring in use in our department, the induction of hypnosis was performed in the operating room. Remifentanil (0.04 mcg/kg/min) was started concomitantly and used throughout the surgery. In order to induce relaxation and calmly modulate perceptions, sensations, and emotions of the patient, permissive suggestions were used by the anaesthesiologist-hypnotherapist. The operating room was prepared accordingly: the anaesthetist's monitoring devices as well as the surgical instruments were silenced, lights were dimmed, staff communicated in soft voice, and access to the room was strictly limited. The patient was placed in a semi-seated position, with his neck in slight hyper-extension. Once the anesthesiologist in charge of hypnosis gave the “go ahead”, the neck was prepared for surgery. As described elsewhere , anaesthesia was applied around the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A line connecting the mastoid process to the clavicle on the anterior and posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid was drawn . A total of 29 mL of lidocaine 1% with adrenalin was injected on both sides as follows: middle of the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid (corresponding to the emergence of the superficial cervical plexus), anteriorly and longitudinally at 3 points (cervical branches), in the muscle itself, and along the cervical incision. +Given the multiple cardiac and large vessel malformations, a possible variant of the inferior laryngeal nerve was expected. Intra-operative neuromonitoring was not used. During surgery, a non-recurrent laryngeal nerve on the right side could indeed be identified. Surgery was performed with a harmonic scalpel (Harmonic FOCUS Curved Shear, Ethicon Endo-Surgery) and electro-bipolar forceps. All parathyroid glands were identified and preserved. +Communication with the patient was maintained at all times during hypnosis. The patient was then gradually guided back to full consciousness through controlled, focused breathing. Total hypnosis time was 165 min and surgery lasted 100 min. +In the recovery room, the patient was completely awakened. The intra- and post-operative pain control were evaluated using a numerical rating scale (0–10). The patient recalled almost no pain during the intervention (1/10), but experienced severe sore throat (8/10) during the first post-operative night and the following day, which improved within 48 h (3/10). During the first night in the intensive care unit, no rhythm disturbances requiring treatment were recorded. He developed transient asymptomatic hypocalcemia (2.0 mmol/L), corrected by oral calcium. The post-operative parathyroid hormone level was normal (35 ng/L). +In the immediate post-operative period, the patient complained of extreme fatigue which is a well described consequences of hypnosis . +The anatomopathological examination revealed a diffuse goiter (5 × 3.5 × 2.5 on the left side and 6.5 × 3.5 × 2.5 on the right). +Because of recurrent Afib, sinus rhythm was restored by a repeat electric cardioversion.

On admission, the patient was alert and had mild paralysis of the left lower extremity. His blood pressure was 138/78 mm Hg. There were no abnormalities in the blood biochemistry tests taken upon arrival. The head CT and MRI showed cerebral infarctions in the right frontal lobe and subarachnoid hemorrhage in the frontal convexity and anterior interhemispheric fissure. In MRA, DAs were observed in the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries. In the 3D-CT angiography, dissecting intima was observed in the area with saccular enlargement . The patient was diagnosed with a combination of cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by the rupture of the DAs in the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries. In the left internal carotid angiography, saccular cerebral aneurysm was observed in the left A1–A2 junction . In addition, stenosis was seen in the left A2 segment and opaque vascular bulging was seen in its peripheral in the late arterial phase. Right internal carotid angiography showed cerebral aneurysm at the left A1–A2 junction . The right A2 segment was occluded and its peripheral vessels showed retrograde flow during the venous phase. The treatment plan included surgery to prevent recurrent hemorrhage and to reinforce the walls of the DAs in the anterior cerebral arteries. Surgery was performed on the fifteenth day after admission when the patient’s neurological symptoms stabilized. First, anterior interhemispheric approach in a supine position was used to confirm the presence of aneurysms in the bilateral areas from A2 to A3 segments. The arterial wall was dark purple, and the vascular diameters were irregular with bulging in one area. Wrapping was performed from A2 to A3 segments for the left anterior cerebral artery. The right peripheral vessels had weak walls and vascular anastomosis was difficult. Therefore, trapping was performed at the A2 segment.

Fortunately, owing to prompt bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the patient completely recovered without any neurological disabilities. Upon admission in the previous institution, serum potassium levels were revealed to be significantly decreased to 3.3 mEq/L; therefore, it was speculated that VF was induced by incidental hypokalaemia. The patient was subsequently referred to our institution for further evaluation. +Medical history taking revealed that the patient had a heart murmur throughout his childhood, yet this matter was not further evaluated. At the age of 19 years, the patient was diagnosed with TOF and underwent palliative Blalock–Taussig shunting at the age of 21 years. Although radical intracardiac surgery was recommended, the patient refused further surgical treatment. For a while, he worked and enjoyed playing golf without any heart failure symptoms; however, he was eventually admitted due to heart failure at 50, 70, and 71 years of age. +Upon referral, his blood pressure was 114/58 mmHg, heart rate was 69 b.p.m., and oxygen saturation was 89% (ambient air). On visual inspection, he had lip cyanosis and clubbing; however, no peripheral oedema was observed. Cardiac auscultation revealed a harsh systolic ejection murmur in the 2nd to 4th intercostal space of the left sternal border. Laboratory findings revealed polycythaemia with a haemoglobin level of 18.0 g/dL and a haematocrit of 52.6%. His serum creatinine levels were 1.8 mg/dL, and brain natriuretic peptide concentration was significantly increased at 697 pg/mL. Chest radiography showed a ‘boot-shaped’ heart with bilateral pleural effusion , and electrocardiography revealed an AF rhythm . Transthoracic echocardiography showed the overriding of the aorta on a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) that was 32 mm in diameter (, white arrow, Video 1) and right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy, along with pulmonary stenosis (PS; Video 2), all of which were indications of unrepaired TOF. On colour Doppler echocardiography, a bidirectional shunt flow through the VSD was clearly observed . Moreover, the pulmonary valve was markedly calcified, making leaflet mobility significantly restricted (Video 3). Continuous wave Doppler echocardiography showed a significant pressure gradient of 77.8 mmHg across the pulmonary valve, confirming the presence of severe valvular PS . Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction decreased to 46.8%, and the base-to-mid posterior and inferoseptal wall motion abnormality was observed. To assess the detailed intra- and extracardiac anatomy of this patient, the patient underwent multidetector-row computed tomography, and the findings of the acquired images were consistent with the characteristics of unrepaired TOF. The findings revealed a large VSD with aortic overriding (, white arrow), severe PS (, red arrow), and RV hypertrophy. Although major aortopulmonary collateral arteries were absent, a relatively restrictive Blalock–Taussig shunt was clearly observed (, yellow arrow). Functional assessment using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed RV dilatation (end-diastolic volume, 192 mL; end-systolic volume, 146 mL) and reduced RV ejection fraction (RVEF, 24%). Cardiac catheter examination revealed a pulmonary arterial pressure of 23/14 mmHg (mean, 18 mmHg), an RV pressure of 96/7 mmHg (end-diastolic pressure, 12 mmHg), and a pulmonary vascular resistance of 1.45 wood unit. Pressure waveforms and oximetry run results are presented in , respectively. Coronary angiography showed the total occlusion of the mid-portion of the right coronary artery (, white arrow) and the proximal portion of the left circumflex coronary artery (, yellow arrow) and the critical stenosis of the diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery. +To improve the unstable haemodynamics, electrical cardioversion was performed on the 6th day of hospitalization. To maintain a normal sinus rhythm and suppress ventricular arrhythmia, amiodarone (100 mg/day) was introduced. Because the patient had multiple comorbidities, radical intracardiac repair was not performed due to significant surgical risk. Regarding the less invasive transcatheter intervention, coronary reperfusion therapy was withheld due to the absence of inducible ischaemia on the basis of the findings of stress myocardial scintigraphy. On the other hand, because it was expected that palliative transcatheter intervention for PS could even impair exquisite haemodynamic balance for this patient, transcatheter pulmonary valvuloplasty was not applied for this case. Alternatively, for the secondary prevention of lethal ventricular arrhythmia, a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted. After obtaining a normal sinus rhythm, β-blocker use and oral diuretic titration, his haemodynamics significantly improved.

Due to this potentially selective cell ablation technique, IRE was offered as a palliative therapy option because it provided the opportunity of tumor mass reduction and decrease of tumor burden with reduced risk of impairment of the sacral plexus and surrounding blood vessels. The procedure with risks and benefits was discussed with the patient and informed consent was obtained. +The patient was put under general anesthesia and neuromuscular blocking to prevent arrhythmia . The procedure was performed using a commercially available IRE system. Due to the large tumor volume (941cm3) a total of six needles were placed into the target area . The percutaneous placement of the electrodes was guided by computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy as well as ultrasound using a multifrequency probe (1 to 5MHz). As recommended by the manufacturer and recorded by the IRE generator the following parameters were used: number of electrodes: six; type of electrodes: monopolar; distance of electrodes: 0.7cm (minimum), 1.2cm (maximum); impulses per electrode: 70; voltage: 1100V (minimum), 3000V (maximum). A stepwise ablation procedure with multiple replacements of the electrodes was performed, starting from a caudal position and moving to cranial. The first ablation procedure covered about 40% of the tumor mass and was stopped after 8 hours. Follow-up imaging showed good response to treatment in the caudal parts of the tumor with remaining viable tumor tissue in the cranial parts . The patient was scheduled for a second ablation procedure after 14 weeks to cover the formally not treated areas. +During the two IRE procedures the patient did not have any cardiovascular events, in particular no supraventricular tachycardia and no atrial fibrillation. Complications, especially postinterventional paralysis or bleeding, were not observed. After the first ablation procedure the patient did not complain about aggravated back pain; neither sensory deficit, nor loss of strength in her legs, nor paresthesia were observed. A neurological examination after the second ablation session revealed a mild 4+ paresis of the right extensor hallucis longus (L4 to S1) with complete resolution after 4 weeks. No sensory loss or impairment of bladder function occurred. After the second intervention opiate medication could be withdrawn. Using carbamazepine (200mg twice a day) and Polamidone (levomethadone) (5mg three times a day) pain control was achieved. The patient’s 24 hour follow-up imaging after the second ablation as well as follow-up imaging after 8 weeks (consisting of contrast-enhanced ultrasound, MRI and a CT scan) showed wide ablation of the tumor with necrosis of most portions of the tumor and reduction of tumor volume to 791cm3. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2521_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2521_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2c3c0f08755d7f08d5ee573d2f3b01a0041c70d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2521_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +The patient was a 67-year-old man experiencing abdominal distension since September 2006.

Quantitative 15O gas-inhalation positron emission tomography at the time showed no apparent misery perfusion, so the patient was initially treated medically with cilostazol for probable transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, cilostazol was subsequently stopped due to increasing microbleeds in the brain on follow-up MRI. No aneurysm was detected up until the last follow-up MRA evaluation 3 months before the event described in this report. +Computed tomography (CT) of the head showed severe intraventricular hemorrhage with subarachnoid hemorrhage . CT angiography (CTA) showed obliteration of the left ICA with a hypoplastic carotid canal and foramen lacerum, suggesting congenital ICA agenesis rather than acquired ICA obliteration . The left posterior communicating artery (PComA) was not a single vessel, instead forming a vascular plexus . The peduncular, ambient, and quadrigeminal segments of the left PCA and the horizontal, infracallosal, and precallosal segments of the left ACA looked like a network of small tortuous vessels that replaced the main trunks of the left PCA and ACA, respectively. In the distal portion of the left PCA and ACA, these aberrant networks seemed to coalesce and formed hypoplastic but definite cortical branches of the PCA and supracallosal segment of the ACA. These anomalous arteries were located in the subarachnoid space, unlike moyamoya disease or arteriovenous malformation. From these findings, we diagnosed the anomaly as rete mirabile in the PComA, PCA, and ACA. Intriguingly, the appearance of the MCA was not rete-like in this patient . There was a saccular aneurysm (4.3 mm in size) arising from the inferior aspect of a perforating branch of the pericallosal artery and protruding into the left lateral ventricle that was presumed to be the source of the hemorrhage . Because of her critical condition (dilatation of pupils and hypothermia), the patient immediately underwent urgent bilateral external ventricular drainage to reduce the intracranial pressure, but soon deteriorated to brain death.

Previously, she had completed a specific immunotherapy addressing her allergy towards certain phytocomponents, and quit smoking after accumulation of 2 pack years in total. With seasonal fluctuation of symptoms, spirometry revealed stable static and dynamic respiratory flow values with slight obstruction. Asthma control testing (ACT), a patient-based questionnaire , revealed eight points at initial presentation (target range ≥ 19 points), indicating poorly controlled asthma. There were no signs of acute infection and an influenza immunization had recently been implemented. +Next to oral contraception and seasonal antihistamines, her medication included inhalative steroids in combination with a long-acting betamimetic agent and a short-acting betamimetic nebulizer on demand. Therapy with montelukast had to be discontinued due to gastrointestinal adverse effects. Her relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis was kept in a steady state by dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) and glatiramer acetate. She experienced two episodes in the past 9 years and was left with residual mild hypoesthesia, gait disturbances, and chronic fatigue. +Physical examination detected no pathologies in the patient, a medium-build [body mass index (BMI) 21 kg/m2] woman in good condition. Auscultation revealed vesicular respiratory sounds without rales. No cardiac murmur was audible. Her fingers did not show clubbing. Cardiac natriuretic peptides presented within normal limits. Besides hypereosinophilia (0.27 GPL/L), laboratory testing revealed a hypoxemia with an adequate response to oxygen (initial: 67 mmHg, with 3 L O2: 72 mmHg), that persisted in rest and exertion. +Due to this blood gas analysis presenting relevant hypoxemia, further investigations were undertaken. In the meantime, daily self-assessment of peak flow values for continuous monitoring of dynamic respiratory function was recommended. +Scintigraphy was performed to rule out a ventilation perfusion deficiency. For the subjacent computed tomographic (CT) scan, contrast media was injected into the left brachial veins. Secondarily to the exclusion of pulmonary embolism, venous contrast filling suspected an additional left superior cava vein connected to the left atrium. +The diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiography: following the attestation of a normal biventricular function with regular sized atria and no evidence of dilatation of the coronary sinus , contrast media was applied via the left brachial veins. Recordings of the apical four chamber view demonstrated an instant and complete opacification solely of the left-sided cardiac cavities . The right atrium and ventricle were unaffected and septal structures were intact. Contrast media inflow originated from the lateral base of the left atrium . On transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), contrast enhancement commenced at the junction of the left atrial appendage and the left pulmonary veins as depicted in midesophageal pulmonary vein view . As the CT scan reconstruction visualizes , the drainage location site could be specified as being the left atrial appendage. Herein, the persistent left vena cava superior complied with type IIIb of Schummer’s classification of PLVCS, with an atypical draining into the left atrial appendage . +Following the imaging modalities, cardiac catheterization was performed to assess the effect of the PLVCS on the patient’s hemodynamics. Pulmonary circulation showed normal proportions of pressure and resistance. The composition of intracardiac blood gas analyses revealed a Qp/Qs of 1.2, reflecting a hemodynamically nonrelevant right-to-left shunt, with an oxygen saturation of 69% in the PLVCS not altering the saturation of the left atrium (95%). To assess its functional impact, we complemented a spiroergometry. The patient completed the testing with a peak oxygen uptake of 23 mL/min/kg, rated as an unrestricted exercise capacity. +Furthermore, the cerebral condition was—on account of her multiple sclerosis—frequently appraised by magnetic resonance imaging. T2-weighted sequences revealed multiple lesions of varying sizes in various cerebral compartments, mainly in white matter (frontal, mesencephalic, occipital) and cerebellar. +The main diagnostic concerns in the present case of an atypical draining PLVCS into the left atrial appendage were to distinguish the hypoxemia and neurologic disorders from the known bronchial asthma and multiple sclerosis. +The initial complaints about dyspnoea on exertion and coughing were accompanied by mild hypoxemia. After imaging revealed a PLVCS draining atypically into the left atrial appendage, further testing was implemented. The resulting right-to-left-shunt that led to an opacification of the left atrium during echocardiography could have been the etiology. Invasive testing revealed an oxymetrically nonrelevant shunt, which later allowed unrestricted exercise testing. In the meantime, the patient received bronchial asthma treatment according to guidelines. She especially stated a relief of her symptoms using inhalative tiotropium bromide in addition to betamimetics and physical conditioning. The frequency of her coughing attacks declined using steam inhalation with brine. Thereupon her asthma control testing increased from 8 to 19 points (the latter being within physiological limits), indicative of a correlation between symptoms and asthma rather than the incidental finding of PLVCS. +Regarding her cerebral lesion, a differentiation between injuries from her known multiple sclerosis and paradoxical embolic insults from her right-to-left-shunt was essential. The patient had developed symptoms suspicious of multiple sclerosis for 9 years at the time of presentation: chronic fatigue, mild hypoesthesia, gait disturbances, and voiding dysfunction, but no focal deficiency. These symptoms resided from two episodes of her relapsing–remitting disease progress analogous to temporal dissemination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a demyelination mainly of white matter and cerebellar structures, as represented in the reviewed McDonald criteria. Responsive to immunomodulating treatment with dimethyl fumarate and glatiramer acetate, clinical and imaging follow-ups over the past 5 years have not shown disease progression, with a constant disability score (EDSS) of 3.5. Though T2-hyperintense, the lesions showed no relevant signs of infarction (cortical location, diffusion deficiency, contrast enhancement). Typical symptoms, time course, imaging, and response to specific treatment assigned her neurologic disorders to multiple sclerosis rather than embolic strokes resulting from right-to-left-shunting caused by PLVCS. +Proposed treatment options of a persistent left vena cava superior with drainage into the left atrium include percutaneous closure with an Amplatzer device and surgical intervention, with the latter usually being subject to complex operations of coexisting cardiovascular defects . These interventions are reserved for symptomatic patients. +The presented case of an atypical drainage into the left atrial appendage resulted in a minor right-to-left-shunt. Its subordination correlated well with adequate oxygen utilization, quantified by spiroergometry. The left atrium showed no evidence of volume overload. Substantiated with a small shunt volume and no evidence of embolization, no specific treatment was required for the venous anomaly. This restraining approach is subject to constant reevaluation in case of an aggravation. +The respiratory symptoms were allocated to a known and lately aggravated bronchial asthma that was successfully treated with inhalatives according to current guidelines. +Since no specific treatment was required, further therapy of the coexisting medical conditions will reside with the respective practitioners.

Given fever, positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG, laboratory evidence of inflammation, and multisystem involvement she was hospitalized for further monitoring and treatment of MIS-C. +Overnight, the patient was persistently febrile and tachycardic. She also reported increasing RLQ pain and exhibited new abdominal rebound tenderness. The attending pediatric radiologist’s review of the prior CT concluded that the imaging was consistent with acute appendicitis as there was dilation of the appendix, measuring 8 mm, mild appendiceal mucosal hyperenhancement and adjacent mesenteric fat stranding . The patient’s care was re-discussed with pediatric surgery and together the multidisciplinary team was unable to definitively rule out appendicitis as a concurrent pathology. While a diagnosis of MIS-C generally requires exclusion of other etiologies, it was felt that she could have appendicitis and MIS-C simultaneously. Empiric treatment for appendicitis was started with piperacillin-tazobactam. The surgical team reviewed the risks and benefits of non-operative management with continued antibiotics versus diagnostic laparoscopy and appendectomy. Surgical management was selected. Echocardiogram was obtained to assess for cardiac involvement and showed normal cardiac function and no dilation of the coronary arteries. She remained stable on the acute floor on hospital day two and therapy with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) and aspirin were ordered for treatment of MIS-C. However, given the timing of when surgery could take her to the operating room, she underwent diagnostic laparoscopy and appendectomy first. She was found to have a grossly normal appendix with no inflammation to suggest appendicitis . As a surgeon’s intra-operative “eyeball” assessment of appendicitis is not perfect and the risk of appendectomy while undergoing laparoscopy is low the decision was made to complete appendectomy. Histologic findings revealed only mild chronic serosal inflammation and edematous mesothelium; it did not show the transmural acute inflammation diagnostic of appendicitis. Piperacillin-tazobactam was discontinued and the patient was returned to the acute care floor for post-surgical monitoring and MIS-C treatment with IVIG infusion (2 g/kg) and aspirin (81 mg). +On hospital day three she completed IVIG therapy, and her blood pressure and fever curve improved.

She was transferred to the intensive care unit and started on norepinephrine (0.02 mcg/kg/min) for hemodynamic support, which she required for 24 hours. The patient stabilized and was then transferred back to the acute care floor with improvement of her pancytopenia over the next two days.

Abacavir and lamivudine, which the patient was already taking, were stopped because of their association with lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis. +Following admission to ICU she rapidly became hypotensive, hypoglycaemic, coagulopathic and more anaemic. A possible basis for this could have been the systemic manifestations of a "cytokine storm" associated with MCD; increased expression of IL-6 is typical of MCD.

Because of rapidly escalating requirements for noradrenaline she received a continuous infusion of hydrocortisone (10 mg/h) as per local departmental protocol, to treat probable relative adrenal insufficiency. Empirical antibiotics and antifungal agents were given to treat sepsis as a potential cause for ensuing multi-organ dysfunction, and she required a continuous infusion of 20% dextrose for refractory hypoglycaemia. To treat her acute renal failure and profound metabolic acidosis (serum lactate of 18.5 mmol/L), haemofiltration was undertaken with large volume 5 litre cycles (~90 ml/kg/hour) of lactate-free replacement fluid.

In Aug 2022, before the third cycle of combined treatment, radiologic measurements of lesions revealed a partial response (PR) according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) criteria . The time to response is around 6 weeks. In September 2022, the patient had undergone three cycles of combined therapy, and radiologic measurements of lesions revealed PR (mRECIST criteria), with the tumor and PVTT shrinking significantly . Consistently, serum biomarkers of HCC including AFP (11 ng/mL) and PIVKA-II (40.96 mAu/mL) decreased significantly. In addition, serum HBV-DNA remained at low levels and liver function remained at Child–Pugh grade A . Considering that all HCC lesions of this patient located in hemi-liver and shrunk after combined therapy, we evaluated the resectability by measuring FLV and indocyanine green retention test after 15 min (ICG-R15). Disappointingly, although ICG-R15 (5.2%) met the safety criteria for hepatectomy, the FLV was insufficient even after tumor shrinkage (as shown in , the FLV was 404 cm3 and the standard liver volume was estimated as 1,049.86 cm3. FLV/ESLV was 38.4%). +To increase the FLV of patient before the salvage hepatectomy, we implemented drug-eluting beads TACE (DEB-TACE, 40 mg pirarubicin loaded) and PVE after discussion in the MDT meeting. Lenvatinib, sintilimab, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate were given as before. The regeneration curve after simultaneous TACE and PVE in this patient showed a non-linear pattern characterized by three phases: (i) initial rapid growth within 4 weeks post simultaneous TACE and PVE, (ii) a plateau, 5–9 weeks after simultaneous TACE and PVE, (iii) steady regrowth thereafter . Simultaneous TACE and PVE induced absolute FLV increment by 62.7% or FLV/ESLV increment by 24.2% in the initial 4 weeks of rapid growth phase. The rate of hypertrophy is 9.05 cm3 per day, with a 2.23% increment in FLV per day or an 0.86% increment in FLV/ESLV per day. In the steady regrowth phase, it induced absolute FLV increment by 32.2%, or FLV/ESLV increment by 20.6% within 4 weeks. The rate of hypertrophy is 7.72 cm3 per day, with a 1.15% increment in FLV per day or a 0.74% increment in FLV/ESLV per day . At the follow-up of 9 weeks (November 2022) after combined DEB-TACE and PVE, the tumor continued to shrink and the future liver remnant volume increased to 670.65 cm3, which occupied 63.8% of the standard liver volume, with the atrophy of the right hemi-liver . In addition, serum levels of AFP (2.69 ng/mL) and PIVKA-II (31.5 mAu/mL) reduced to the normal range. Liver function tests showed Child–Pugh A grade and normal ICG-R15. +We considered that this patient met the criteria of salvage hepatectomy according to the Chinese expert consensus on conversion therapy for HCC . He underwent right hemi-hepatectomy after discontinuation of lenvatinib for 3 weeks in December 2022 . The operation time is 6 h with intermittent Pringle maneuver of 2 cycles. Intraoperative blood loss was 500 mL, and he received intraoperative transfusion of 400 mL red blood cell and 300 mL plasma. The pathological examination showed necrosis of a massive HCC (major pathological response, MPR) with no tumor cells observed on the resection margins . The immunohistochemical analysis of resected tissue showed CD8 (scattered lymphocyte+) and Ki-67 (Li: 10%) . The patient only had postoperative ascites (Clavien–Dindo classification grade II) and recovered after diuretic treatment. He achieved a textbook outcome after hepatectomy and was discharged 14 days after surgery . +In the patient’s postoperative maintenance therapy, he was given lenvatinib 8 mg orally once a day, sintilimab 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg orally once a day. There was no clinical evidence of recurrence at 9 months after the resection, and the AFP levels remained within the normal limit . He was still in the follow-up after surgery. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2715_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2715_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..87a67fb941e4a11dfb0a0a3a6c2bc2e2aade0a2c --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2715_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 23-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of recurrent abdominal pain for 7 years, amenorrhea and dyspareunia.

Following a waiting period of 6 weeks post-LAAI and oral anticoagulation with a direct novel oral anticoagulant (Apixaban), we readmitted the patient in order to implant an endocardial LAA occluder device (Watchman; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA). A preprocedural transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) was performed and excluded a left atrial (LA) thrombus. The novel oral anticoagulant was stopped the day of the procedure. Under deep sedation using midazolam, sufentanil, and continuous infusion of propofol, a single transseptal puncture was performed using a regular 8, 5 Fr SL1 transseptal sheath (St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) after a multi-electrode diagnostic catheter was inserted into the coronary sinus. Intravenous Heparin was administered with a target-activated clotting time (ACT) of 300 s. Angiography of the LAA was performed revealing a ‘chicken-wing’ morphology .

Since the replaced LHA arose from the LGA , arterial redistribution by means of embolizing the replaced LHA had been attempted. However, despite three procedures, the LGA could not be selected using the catheter, and the replaced LHA could not be catheterized and embolized. Therefore, the patient was transferred to our institution, and arterial redistribution and creation of the port-catheter system were planned. +First, conventional angiography from the right femoral artery was performed so that we could visualize the anatomy. According to the celiac angiography, the LGA arose from the proximal portion of the up-swinging celiac trunk at a sharp angle, and no vascular stenosis was observed in the LGA . We attempted the following methods to catheterize the LGA: (1) turning the catheter tip to the up-swinging celiac trunk by pulling the 5-French shepherd's hook catheter (Terumo Clinical Supply, Tokyo, Japan) and trying to select the LGA by using a coaxial method with 2.1-French or 2.5-French microcatheters with or without the steam-shaped technique (Renegade, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA, and Sniper 2, Terumo Clinical Supply) and 0.014-inch or 0.016-inch microguidewires (Transcend, Boston Scientific, GT wire, Terumo Clinical Supply); (2) inserting the steam-shaped 5-French shepherd's hook or Cobra catheter (Terumo Clinical Supply) into the common hepatic artery beyond the region of origin of the LGA and pulling them back to select the LGA; and (3) creating a side hole in the top of the shepherd's hook catheter and trying to insert the microcatheter into the LGA from the side hole. However, we failed to catheterize the LGA after trying all three methods, and the procedure time had reached about three hours. Therefore, using the microcatheter, we selected the RGA that arose from the proper hepatic artery. According to the RGA angiography, the anastomosis from the RGA to the LGA was very thin, and the replaced LHA was not visualized through the anastomosis at that time . However, we believed that the replaced LHA would be visualized if we inserted the catheter to the distal portion of the RGA and injected contrast medium into it. Therefore, we attempted to select the replaced LHA via the RGA and finally succeeded in visualizing and selecting it by using a 2-French microcatheter (Prograde-α; Terumo Clinical Supply) and 0.014-inch to 0.016-inch microguidewires (Transend, Boston Scientific, and GT wire, Terumo Clinical Supply) . The replaced LHA was embolized from the distal to the proximal portion using 13 microcoils (Tornado; Cook, Bloomington, IN, USA). The RGA was also embolized with three microcoils using the pull-back microcatheter. A 5-French polyurethane catheter with a 2.7-French distal shaft (W-Spiral catheter; Piolax Medical Devices, Yokohama, Japan) with a side hole was placed into the hepatic artery from the left femoral artery. The side hole was positioned in the common hepatic artery, and the tip was inserted into the gastroduodenal artery. After placing coils around the catheter tip to fix it within the gastroduodenal artery, the catheter was connected to an implantable port (Sadica port; Terumo Clinical Supply), which was embedded subcutaneously in the left anterior thigh. An angiogram obtained through the implantable port after catheter placement showed the revascularized LHA and a uniform blood supply to the entire liver .

The mass was initially considered mesenteric, and the lack of ovarian or uterine abnormalities or involvement on preoperative radiological examinations and intraoperative findings led to a strong suspicion of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the ileum. The distal end of the right fallopian tube was resected because of tumor involvement. The ovaries and uterus were considered normal and thus were not resected.

The tumor cells contained atypical large nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and frequent mitoses. Immunohistochemically, these cells were positive for Wilms tumor (WT)-1 , cytokeratin (CK) 7, paired box gene 8, and estrogen receptor and negative for CK20, caudal-type homeobox 2, and villin.

She underwent six adjuvant chemotherapy cycles with paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin [area under the curve (AUC): 5]. +Follow-up computed tomography showed a 1.3-cm-sized nodule in the left lung with a small airspace in the posterior basal segment and a 0.9-cm-sized solid nodule in the apico-posterior segment that grew slightly during a 2-month period. No pleural effusion was detected. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) revealed maximum standardized uptake values of 7.11 and 2.46 for these nodules. Both nodules were suspected to be pulmonary metastases of PPC. However, the serum cancer antigen (CA)-125 level was within normal range (11.7 U/ml). Because the serum CA-125 level was elevated (529.1 U/ml) before the first surgery, primary lung cancer or non-malignancy was also suspected. No evidence of tumor in the primary site was observed on FDG-PET or abdominal computed tomography. +Pulmonary wedge resection is now considered a standard surgical procedure for the treatment of metastasis from cancers in other organs. Therefore, if an intraoperative frozen examination could diagnose the nodules as metastatic PPCs, we would select wedge resection. As a result, the intraoperative frozen section examination of the resected lung specimen could not distinguish metastatic PPC from primary lung adenocarcinoma. Regarding surgical treatment of small-sized primary lung cancer, anatomical segmentectomy is gaining popularity as a curative and less-invasive procedure . Accordingly, even if the two pulmonary nodules were primary lung cancers, not pneumonectomy (double lobectomies), but the respective segmentectomies would be suitable owing to the invasiveness. +From all the above, regardless of the definitive diagnosis (metastatic PPC or primary lung cancer), anatomical segmentectomies of the two nodules were deemed to be suitable, considering curativity and invasivity. Anatomical segmentectomies of the posterior basal segment and superior division with systematic lymph node dissection were performed. Histological examination of the resected specimen revealed neoplastic cells in the lung tumor. These cells contained enlarged nuclei, irregular slit-like spaces, and a papillary pattern, similar to previous PPC . Immunohistochemically, the specimen was positive for WT-1 and negative for thyroid transcription factor-1. These findings led to a diagnosis of a pulmonary recurrence of the previously resected PPC. No mediastinal or hilar lymph node metastasis was observed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and second-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC 5) for six cycles was initiated. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2810_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2810_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..81628d7d3b67bed25debd3d9f68e63c498e806e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2810_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +A 58-year-old female presented with right facial and neck swelling and respiratory distress after a recent dental infection treated with clindamycin. On examination, there were grossly decayed teeth with a firm floor of mouth and diffuse erythema of the right neck, lower and mid-face. She was diagnosed with Ludwig’s Angina and immediately intubated due to stridor and pending airway compromise. Imaging revealed extensive infection and abscess formation involving the submandibular, pterygomandibular, and buccal spaces, and she was taken to the operating room for dental extraction and abscess drainage by the oral surgery team and started on broad spectrum antibiotics. Cultures from this operation were polymicrobial and consistent with oral microbes. On postoperative day 1, she developed rapidly expanding erythema and swelling of the right hemiface and neck with gross necrosis of the skin throughout the right neck and face. The Otolaryngology team was consulted for possible necrotizing fasciitis. +The patient was taken to the operating room for urgent debridement, which included the skin of the right neck and face up to lower eyelid, devascularized orbicularis oculi, mylohyoid, superficial muscular aponeurotic system in the midface, masseter, and all branches of the facial nerve. The debridement ultimately required removal of a 20x30cm segment of the right and central neck and a 20x20cm segment of the right face . +Subsequent debridement 2 days later required excision of soft tissue to the level of the zygoma and infraorbital rim. Penrose drains were placed to assist with drainage and irrigation of deeper spaces communicating with the open wound, including the pretracheal space. Antibiotics were transitioned to vancomycin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and fluconazole for a planned duration of 4 weeks, as was appropriate per bacterial culture susceptibilities. +The decision was made to proceed with twice daily local wound care with Dakins irrigations through the Penrose drains into the deep spaces, and placement of wet-to-dry Dakins-soaked gauze over exposed soft tissue between operative debridements. Ophthalmology was consulted for assistance with progressive ocular and lower eyelid involvement. Due to the extent of the wound, heavy sedation was required for dressing changes. However, due to open wound without overlying skin in the pretracheal space, a tracheostomy was not offered, as secretions would have saturated the wound bed and prolonged infection, resulting in a prolonged endotracheal intubation. Despite aggressive wound care, 12 days after initial aggressive debridement, purulent drainage continued to be encountered with irrigations, with concern for spread of infection threatening the right orbit and mediastinum. Furthermore, new areas of devitalized tissue were encountered routinely throughout the wound bed and debrided at bedside. The white blood cell count was persistently elevated throughout this time and the patient remained septic. +Several case reports and review articles have demonstrated success with NPWT in decreasing bacterial burden and stabilizing wounds in patients with NF, even within the head and neck regions [–]. Unfortunately, given the proximity of the wound bed to the lower eyelid and conjunctiva and surgical absence of the majority of the soft tissue of the eyelid including the orbicularis oculi, negative pressure wound therapy was contraindicated due to risk of traction injury to the globe and/or eyelid. To address this problem, a 3D-printed, patient-specific wound splint was designed at the point-of-care using the patient’s anatomy to facilitate NPWT. It was determined that the patient’s circumstances met the criteria for the FDA Expanded Access for Medical Devices Emergency Use mechanism (EAEU) with concurrence from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) . A follow-up report was sent to the FDA within 5 days on the use of the device as required. +A facial CT was obtained and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images were uploaded to Materialise Mimics (Materalise, Leuven, Belgium). These were segmented to include the remaining soft tissue and bony structures in the nasofacial sulcus, periorbital, and malar regions. The native anatomy was then imported into Materalise 3-Matic (Materalise, Leuven, Belgium) and a 3-Dimensional (3D) surface was formed through the offset of the soft tissue and bony structures within the wound and extruded to provide additional surface and contact area. This process was performed with both clinician and engineering input to ensure correct design and adequate contact area for both the wound-vac device as well as the mount sutures. The resulting model was then smoothed with additional surface post processing to ensure fitment would be exactly along the contour of the wound and as well as provide a wide and flat surface on the outside upon which the NPWT could be secured . An open-faced mold was then designed in 3-matic to allow for a naturally smooth surface for the NPWT film to attach. The mold was printed on a FormLabs Form 3B in FormLabs Biomed Amber resin (FormLabs, Somerville, MA, USA) and post-processed following the recommended Form Wash and Cure time and temperatures for clinical applications . Factor II VST-50HD (FactorII, Inc., Lakeside, AZ, USA) platinum cure two part medical grade silicone was selected for its shore hardness of 38A and safe skin contact properties and was mixed in ratio of 10:1 A:B, degassed, and gravity poured into the mold . The mold and poured silicone were allowed to cure at 60 °C for 3 hours and the splint was extracted from the mold. The splint alone underwent an additional cure in at 150 °C for 2 h to ensure complete cure. The wound splint was then cleansed in 99% IPA for 5 minutes, before being ready for patient application . +An EAEU was submitted to the FDA on the basis of a life threatening infection requiring prolonged intubation that was necessary due to heavy sedation requirements with dressing changes. Additional concerns of development of orbital involvement and vision loss were cited if the wound did not begin to rapidly heal, and failure of other treatment options (wet-to-dry dressing changes). Concurrence was obtained from our IRB. +The wound splint was then placed at the superior edge of the wound bed, just below the remnant eyelid and sutured in place. A NPWT sponge was placed in the remaining wound bed. The NPWT film was applied directly to the splint, and ophthalmology confirmed that there was no traction on the lower lid . +Since bedside dressing changes were no longer necessary, the patient was weaned from sedation, although she remained intubated. Two days following placement, the NPWT was exchanged in the operating room. The wound was noted to have stabilized, with well-healing granulation tissue present in > 50% of the wound bed, active bleeding throughout, and no evidence of devascularized areas or additional further purulence. The erythema of the mediastinal skin had improved, and the WBC count normalized. Five days later, the NPWT was again exchanged, and the dead space between the skin and trachea was noted to have healed and seated down, allowing for tracheostomy and removal of the endotracheal tube 2 weeks following initial placement . Now fully weaned from sedation, the patient was transferred out of the intensive care unit and continued to express appreciation for her customized care and device. +With each exchange of NPWT, the wound continued to demonstrate contraction and healthy granulation tissue formation, with no evidence of ongoing infection. Four weeks after initial placement, the NPWT was removed, and the defect was reconstructed with a pectoralis muscle flap, split thickness skin graft, and right paramedian forehead flap . +A second stage surgery for division and inset was performed 4 weeks after the initial reconstruction . Following completion of reconstruction, vision testing and patient-reported vision were at baseline from prior to infection, with minimal lagophthalmos, no exposure keratopathy and no damage to the globe. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2812_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2812_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..eda25d4de24406d5e02270aadb66e8419f727ef3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2812_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 68-year-old woman was referred to our Nephrology Department for kidney failure and a monoclonal gammopathy.

The rise in the creatinine level over time was concordant with an increase in the monoclonal component, while normal urea levels were maintained. Our laboratory uses an enzymatic method to measure creatinine. The only available method in our laboratory to verify if the interference is due to the IgM paraprotein is to perform a dilution of the serum sample, thereby diluting the presence of the interfering element (IgM molecules) as well. The IgM concentration was 8,730 mg/L. A 1:4 dilution of the patient’s serum sample was carried out by mixing 100 μL of physiological saline with 300 μL of serum, and the creatinine concentration was measured. The obtained result was 27 μmol/L, which, when multiplied by the dilution factor, would yield a result of 108 μmol/L serum creatinine. The serum index measured in the sample was a hemolysis index of 4 μmol/L, an icteric index of 17 μmol/L, and a lipemic index of 21. None of these serum indices interfere with the measurement of serum creatinine concentration. We confirmed these results with a cystatin C measurement, with a value of 1.01 mg/dL (eGFR 70 mL/min). Our patient was finally diagnosed with a falsely elevated serum creatinine associated with an IgM paraprotein. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2814_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2814_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..58e063a1429fa57291e0921190f10cd7a0dcc5a0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2814_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 73-year-old man was admitted in our hospital with abdominal pain and fatigue lasting 1 mo. +One month before his admission, the patient developed persistent abdominal pain without obvious incentives, such as tolerable dull pain on the left side, without abdominal distension, lethargy, cold sensitivity, itchy skin, and change in skin color, among other symptoms.

The patient was sedated with dexmedetomidine, midazolam, fentanyl, and chlorpromazine hydrochloride during treatment in the ICU, but the drug doses were gradually decreased, resulting in minimum use of sedatives on day 52 (fentanyl 0.2 mcg/kg/h, midazolam 0.03 mg/kg/h, and dexmedetomidine 0.2 mcg/kg/h). On day 52, she met the extubation criteria with a rapid shallow breathing index of 6.5 and improved dynamic Crs at 0.65 mL/cmH2O/kg with no clinical signs of high airway resistance. Thus, her trachea was extubated on day 52. After extubation, ventilation and oxygenation were not problematic with high flow nasal cannula support for several hours with no clinical signs of upper airway stenosis. However, she became restless with sternal retraction several hours after extubation, suggesting increased respiratory effort. The arterial blood gas analysis showed elevated pCO2 (53 mmHg), and she was reintubated 20 h after extubation. +After reintubation, Edi monitoring was initiated to assess diaphragm function. Measurements were carried out using a 12 Fr Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) catheter attached to a SERVO-i ventilator (Maquet Critical Care, Solna, Sweden). The catheter position was adjusted with the Edi catheter position tool equipped in the NAVA software and confirmed by daily chest X-rays. Mechanical ventilation was managed by the Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) mode with pressure support (PS) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) properly applied to ensure respiratory muscle unloading. Her typical Edi values during SIMV were in the range of 10–20 mcV. Daily SBTs from 15 min to 30 min (PS 5 cmH2O, PEEP 5 cmH2O) were performed from day 53. The maximal Edi and NVE values were recorded during the SBTs . In summary, the Edi during the SBTs was higher than 70 mcV just after the reintubation, indicating a strong inspiratory effort to deliver normal tidal volume; the Edi decreased gradually day by day while the tidal volume showed nearly constant values, leading to improvement of NVE. On day 58, her Edi values during the SBTs were 10–20 mcV, comparable to those during SIMV, and her trachea was extubated. After extubation, the patient received high-flow nasal cannula support and did not experience reintubation owing to respiratory collapse. She was discharged from the hospital without oxygen support on day 158. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2842_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2842_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0b6e130da6771e2e3a2d8e18f40f4ec1357bd285 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2842_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 20-year-old male with no known past medical history or allergies presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining of acute, sudden onset, left forearm pain and rash.

Her previous menstrual cycles were regular. Her medical history and family history were unremarkable. The general condition of the patient appeared to be good, and pelvic examination revealed a mass in the right adnexal area with tenderness. The urine test showed she was pregnant, and serum β-hCG level was more than 200,000 mIU/ml. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) revealed a right adnexal mass and profuse abdominal fluid accumulation. +According to an initial diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, laparoscopic exploration was performed. The right ovary was 5*6 cm, partially cystic, ruptured and surrounded by a hematoma. The left ovary and both fallopian tubes were intact. Approximately 500 ml of intraperitoneal blood was noted. The cystic mass of the right ovary was dissected and sent to pathological diagnosis. On the fifth postoperative day, serum β-hCG levels was 14,510 mIU/ml. The patient then transferred to our hospital six days after the surgery. The pathological consult confirmed a pure choriocarcinoma of the right ovary, and an immunohistochemical panel was performed and the samples analyzed were positive for Pan Cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), hCG, human placental lactogen (hPL) and Ki-67(60%), and negative for p53. . +At the 7th and 10th postoperative day, the serum β-hCG levels fell to 5907 and 2000 mIU/ml, respectively. Further imaging examination was proceeded ten days after the surgery. The contrast pelvic MRI showed the right ovary was 2.1*2.9*3.2 cm, at the front of which a mass of 1.2 cm*1.0 cm was observed. PET-CT showed bilateral ovarian nodules with hypermetabolism, physiological uptake considered, no other specific abnormalities were observed. Other related tests were examined: CA125 (cancer antigen 125): 70.81 U/ml, AFP (alpha fetoprotein): 2.28 ng/ml. As the endometrium thickness was only 5 mm, endometrial biopsy had not been performed. +The patient received five courses of EP-EMA chemotherapy, including cisplatin (80 mg/m2) and etoposide (100 mg/m2), D1; etoposide (100 mg/m2), methotrexate (100 mg/m2 iv and 200 mg/m2 ivgtt), and actinomycin-D (0.5 mg), D7–8, at two-week intervals. Goserelin (3.6 mg) was injected before the beginning of chemotherapy and at four-week intervals during the treatment to protect the ovarian function. During the chemotherapy, the patient was monitored weekly for serum levels of β-hCG, and a rapidly decrease was detected. We observed normalization of the CA125 serum level after one course of chemotherapy. The β-hCG level decreased to normal after two and a half courses of chemotherapy and remained normal thereafter. The contrast pelvic MRIs performed once a month during the chemotherapy showed reduced lesion which became undetectable during the fourth course. The patient remains without evidence of disease 32 months after chemotherapy, her menstruation recovered 12 months after chemotherapy, and gave birth to a healthy baby 25 months after chemotherapy. +Individual DNA polymorphic analysis was used to verify the presence or absence of paternal genetic material. DNA from paraffin-embedded tumor tissue was compared to the patients’ and her husband’s peripheral blood DNA. Manual microdissection of the tumor cells was performed to eliminate the contamination of maternal DNA. Following extraction of DNA from the formalin-fixed and paraffin wax embedded material (QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit, Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA), and from blood samples (ZR Genomic DNA-Tissue MiniPrep Kit, Zymo Research, CA, USA) all samples were quantified by NanoDrop (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, USA), and MicroreaderTM 21 ID system, MicroreaderTM 23sp ID system (Beijing Microread Genetics Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) were respectively used to amplify 10 ng DNA from each biopsy and blood samples. Amplified products were then detected using an ABI 3730xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA). Electrophoresis results were analyzed using GeneMapper® ID v.3.2 (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA), and the genetic profiles of the biopsy and peripheral blood were compared. +We studied the genetic profiles of 43 highly polymorphic short tandem repeats (STRs) in DNA samples prepared from the patient, spouse and tumor. At 25/43 loci examined, the tumor specimen was shown to contain the paternal allele but not the maternal DNA (D21S11, D18S51, D6S1043, D3S1358, D7S820, D16S539, Penta D, D2S441, vWA, TPOX, TH01, FGA, D18S535, D19S253, D20S470, D22-GATA198B05, D16S539, D8S1132, D4S2366, D13S325, D9S925, D3S3045, D10S1435, D17S1290, D5S2500). At 18/43 loci examined, it could not be determined whether the tumor contained paternal allele because the patient and spouse shared one or two identical alleles (D19S433, D5S818, AMEL, D13S317, CSF1PO, D8S1179, Penta E, D12S391, D2S1338, D6S477, D15S659, D11S2368, D1S1656, D7S3048, D21S1270, D14S608, D12S391, D2S1338). Therefore, none of the loci could be proved to contain maternal allele only. At 20/43 loci examined, the tumor was triploid, which was in accord with the nuclear-heteromorphism of tumor cells. Twelve representative loci from these analyses were summarized in Table and Fig. . In more than half (25/43) of the loci studied we were able to demonstrate the presence of paternal DNA in the tumor, indicating a gestational origin for the tumor. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2977_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2977_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cfbe001d2817b569549d1f8d204c9156f22edd41 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2977_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +Our patient was a 37-year-old, 48 kg Yoruba woman, who developed impaired visual function while on treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.

The mesentery corresponding to the narrow part of the small intestine was also absent, and the proximal intestine was markedly dilatated. Additionally, a thick adhesive band was also found between the dilated proximal intestine and the sigmoid colon, and we thought it might be the main cause of colonic dilation . Therefore, we performed laparoscopic adhesiolysis and partial small bowel resection, and the thick adhesive bands were destroyed. The narrow small bowel with length of 20 cm was removed.

Although the fever and chest pain had subsided, dyspnoea persisted for another fifteen days, which led her to consult again at the nearest hospital, where an electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed poor progression of R in the precordial leads, ST elevation and negative T waves. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed a severely depressed ejection fraction with apical akinesia with associated apical thrombus. With these findings, an evolved acute myocardial infarction was diagnosed and a differential diagnosis between an aneurysm with apical thrombus and a pseudoaneurysm secondary to a cardiac rupture was raised. The patient was transferred to our hospital for further evaluation and possible intervention. On admission, she was haemodynamically stable and showed no signs of low output or heart failure. Blood tests were normal. The coronary angiography that revealed an occlusion in the mid-portion of the descending anterior aorta with TIMI 0 flow and no development of collateral circulation. The remaining coronary arteries showed no other significant lesions. Subsequently, for a better anatomical understanding, a cardiac magnetic resonance (MRI) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) were performed that demonstrated severe left ventricular dysfunction, subacute infarction in the territory of the descending anterior aorta and a rupture of the left ventricular free wall with an apical thrombus containing a thrombus, which exhibited partial fragmentation in the strictly apical region.

Haptoglobin was depleted and Lactate DeHydrogenase (LDH) was significantly elevated (3190 U/L). + +To better clarify the etiology of these findings, the patient was tested for various infections, including HIV, hepatitis A, E, B, C viruses, cytomegalovirus, syphilis, West Nile virus, Plasmodium malariae, all returning negative results. Furthermore, abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan ruled out biliary obstruction or pancreatic disorders. No evidence of autoimmune hepatitis was found. Interestingly, EBV serology test showed a probable acute infection phase: Virus Capsid Antigen IgM (VCAM) > 160 UI/mL, Early Antigen (D) IgG (EAG) 45.9 UI/mL, Virus Capsid Antigen IgG (VCAG) 47.4 UI/mL and Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen (EBNA1) 8.1 UI/mL. The infection acuity was confirmed by EBV DNA titer which was extremely high (123600 copies/mL). Moreover, the direct antiglobulin test for Complement 3 Factor (C3) and cold agglutinin test were positive. Lastly, liver and bone marrow biopsies revealed ring granulomas consistent with EBV infection and a pattern of acute intrahepatic cholestasis indicative of potential drug-induced liver injury. + +These findings suggested liver failure due to EBV infection, CAS and a possible oral contraceptive pill toxicity. + +Disease Management and Outcome +Based on her diagnosis, the patient was admitted to the Hematology ward. For her hemolytic anemia, she underwent a first-line treatment with high dose methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg intravenously daily and immunoglobulin 1 g/kg intravenously for two days. However, a progressive worsening of general conditions occurred during hospitalization, developing hepatic failure with bilirubin levels rising to 43 mg/dL, hyperbilirubinemia-associated acute kidney injury, and respiratory failure requiring high-flow-nasal-cannula support. Consequently, she was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where she underwent central venous catheter placement due to poor venous access and her critical condition. + +Given the complexity and the multifactorial etiology of the case, multiple clinical specialists were asked to carry out the best patient management. Initially, the patient was subjected to Plasorba BR-350 treatment, a selective adsorption mechanism for bilirubin and bile acid exceeding in plasma.

Rituximab treatment proved effective in depleting EBV-infected B-lymphocytes and those involved in hemolytic pathogenesis. + +After a few weeks and four rituximab administrations, we observed a progressive amelioration of the patient clinical condition, with no more need of dialytic and respiratory support. She was gradually weaned off oxygen therapy, and her jaundice resolved along with normalization of liver function tests. After rituximab therapy, the EBV-DNA titer resulted negative, as also were cold agglutinin levels. Her hemoglobin level gradually returned to normal values. + +Finally, after one month of hospitalization, the patient was discharged in good general condition, with normal liver, renal and hemoglobin values. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3101_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3101_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..14f2b02560252a43d049f083651e06e674573800 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3101_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +Male patient, only child of a Brazilian healthy non-consanguineous couple.

Slit-lamp microscopy revealed Grade 4 (Emery-Little classification) nuclear cataracts in both eyes, and kerato-precipitates and tan vitreous opacity in the left eye. The left optic nerve head was vaguely observed due to vitreous opacity. B-mode echography of the left eye showed relatively dense vitreous opacity and membranous material on the surface of the retina. + +We considered the tan-like vitreous opacity to be an old vitreous hemorrhage and performed a phacovitrectomy. When the cataract and vitreous opacity were removed, almost total retinal detachment, except for a part of the superior periphery, was observed. Since no retinal break was found and a wide range of thin membrane-like tissue was found on the surface of the retina, the surgeon considered possible PIOL for the first time and performed an unplanned biopsy. The peripheral vitreous was collected as a sample that had already been diluted with irrigating fluid. Therefore, the subretinal fluid was collected through an intentional break to prevent mixing with other fluids. Silicone oil was injected at the end of the surgery. Because the subretinal fluid had slightly increased and involved the macula, re-PPV was performed to further aspirate the subretinal fluid, and the subretinal strand close to the inferior arcade vessel was gently pulled out and collected as a sample. These samples were submitted for cytology, IL-10/IL-6 ratio measurement, and AIGHR. Cytology revealed class II vitreous specimens and class III subretinal fluid (mainly lymphocytes with mild karyotype but no atypia). The pathologist ascertained that the specimen from subretinal fluid was class III, considering the possibility of low-grade MALT lymphoma, which suggests severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, or cancer. Cytokine measurements showed that the vitreous fluid was unmeasurable, and the subretinal fluid had a low IL10/IL6 ratio <1.0. The results of AIGHR in the subretinal fluid were positive for monoclonality. The subretinal fluid was gradually reduced, and subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide was effective for macular edema. Although the outer retinal layer was atrophic in the macular area, visual acuity in the left eye improved to 0.3. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed localized hypofluorescent areas corresponding to intentional breaks and surrounding photocoagulated scars. No leakage was observed on fluorescein and indocyanine green fluorescence angiography, and the location of typical subretinal infiltration was unclear.

With the impression of twin pregnancy complicated by pre-eclampsia with severity features and hyperthyroidism, the patient was managed for pre-eclampsia and a biophysical profile was done daily. Ultrasonography revealed two fetal sacs whereby twin A was a breech, alive twin with aggregate gestational age (AGA) of 28+6 weeks with the normal-appearing placenta. The other sac was filled with cystic spaces and snowstorm appearance, hinting towards a molar pregnancy. + +We managed our patient expectantly for a week with daily biophysical profile, dexamethasone injections for fetal lung maturity, magnesium sulphate and anti-hypertensive for pre-eclampsia. After one week, a cesarean section was done for indication of twin pregnancy plus Twin A breech to affect the delivery of a 1.4 kg male neonate with Apgar score of 7 and 9 in the 1st and 5th minute, respectively. The grape-like vesicles, separate from the normal appearing placenta, were evacuated manually. There was intraoperative bleeding while removing the molar tissue. Initial evaluation of the neonate revealed no congenital abnormalities and he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with a diagnosis of very low birth weight and discharged after attaining adequate weight. Although, the histopathology result showed a partial mole with variable-sized dilated chorionic villi with focal trophoblastic proliferation and multiple vascular proliferation seen, there were no malignant features. Post-operative hematocrit was 18.8% for which the patient was transfused with one unit of whole blood. The patient was discharged from our side on the 16th day after advice on subsequent follow-up. The level of β-HCG was determined to be normal on the 2nd follow-up at 7 weeks as illustrated in. On this visit, the mother had no new compliant with normal blood pressure and TSH levels. In addition, the infant’s interpretation of growth curves adjusted for gestational age showed adequate growth. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3170_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3170_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0ca04aa543519bb6f6116edf1d36f0ba6e464e7f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3170_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,156 @@ +75-year-old man, who lives with his wife, a regular patient of the pharmacy, has shown some cognitive and motor impairment in recent months.

She denied cranioencephalic trauma or loss of consciousness. At admission, she complained of intense pain in her left hand and reduction in the wrist's range of movement due to pain. At physical examination, she had a “fork back deformity”, swelling, and was tender to touch; the patient complained of a pain level of 9 out of 10 according to the VAS score with fracture manipulation. Plain radiographs showed a minimally displaced, dorsally angulated, extra-articular, shortened distal radius fracture with loss of radial tilt. + +The patient referred severe pain with passive motion and near the fracture site, she was reluctant to allow for a block near the site and to receive surgery. Due to the intense pain referred by the patient, and the possibility of management with closed reduction, we opted for a supracondylar radial nerve block to ensure proper pain management. Therapeutic options were discussed with the patient and her daughter, and as a result of a shared decision-making process, she opted for closed reduction with supracondylar radial nerve block. After obtaining the patient's informed consent, the procedure was performed. With the patient supine and the arm flexed over the abdomen, the physician positioned themselves facing the lateral aspect of the affected arm. The ultrasound machine was placed front-facing the physician, allowing an unobstructed view of the screen. A high-frequency 6–13 MHz (MHz) Mindray linear transducer was used to locate the radial nerve on the lateral aspect of the humerus, approximately 2 cm above the lateral epicondyle. At this location, the nerve is followed distally, visualizing its bifurcation into deep and superficial branches. Subsequently, the probe was displaced proximally to ensure the correct anatomic location. The nerve (hyperechoic) travels through the intermuscular septum between the surrounding (more hypoechoic) brachial and brachioradial muscles. + +The site was prepared with an aseptic technique and sterilized with a chlorhexidine solution. Sterile surgical lubricant was spread on the intended injection site. Later, a mixture of 10 ml of 1:1 0.25 % bupivacaine and 1 % lidocaine with epinephrine was injected with a 50-mm, 22-gauge Stimuplex® insulated echogenic needle around the radial nerve (proximal to its branch) under direct ultrasound guidance using an in-plane technique, identifying the needle in its full length. To prevent nerve injury due to high pressure at the injection site, low resistance during the procedure was assured. The patient manifested minimal discomfort during the injection process. Fifteen minutes after the injection, the patient reported no pain at rest, and the fracture was reduced. Axial traction maneuvers and ligamentotaxis, hyperextension, flexion, and ulnar deviation were performed with subsequent immobilization with a forearm sugar tong splint without complications. Shortly thereafter, the dorsally angulated distal fragment was reduced with minimal discomfort. After confirmatory radiographs showed adequate reduction, she was discharged with orthopedic follow-up. At the two-week follow-up, the sugar tong splint was replaced by a brachiopalmar closed cast, and at the monthly follow-up, the appropriate fracture reduction was again verified through radiographs. After that, the patient was lost to follow-up due to administrative concerns derived from her insurer, where we believe she was transferred elsewhere to continue here care. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3195_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3195_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f46d839be44edf95a3e04dffb4babc0bfce5c876 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3195_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +80-year-old woman with a history of significant hypertension for 6 years, diagnosed, treated with 50 mg losartan every 12 hours, which, according to the patient, was in adequate control. + +She presented a 6-week history characterized by morning stiffness lasting 45 minutes, inflammatory-type pain in the shoulders, elbows, hands, knees, ankles, and feet, associated with fatigue.

Physical examination revealed an exuberant tissue on the episiotomy scar at the 5 o’clock position of the introitus that extended superiorly into the lower third of the vagina and inferiorly into the upper part of the thigh. The lesion was also present in the fourchette from the 5 to 7 o’clock position. No obvious risk factor for exuberant granulation was identified, except for being an African. + +The differential diagnoses were exuberant granulation tissue, granulomatous disorder (such as foreign body granulomas), pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) that develops due to irritation, chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), keloid, and malignant lesions such as aggressive fibromatoses. cGVHD was excluded because there was no history of tissue grafting. The lack of epithelization excluded keloid. She was counseled, consented to, and underwent a cold knife excision biopsy aided by local bupivacaine hydrochloride (Marcaine) infiltration to minimize bleeding, and the surgical sites were sutured using polyglactin 2–0. During suturing, the vaginal epithelium in the vicinity of the lesion was thin and friable, as the stitches easily cut through the vaginal mucosa. There were no other features of hypoestrogenism. The lesions were discrete and sessile in attachment with a maximum diameter of 1.5 cm. Postoperatively and after discussion with a multidisciplinary team that included a urogynecologist, to treat the atrophic vaginal mucosa, she was prescribed topical conjugated equine estrogen vaginal cream 0.625 mg per 1 g, using 0.5 g per intravaginal application. This was the most appropriate available medication to assist with rejuvenation of the friable vaginal tissue. The patient applied the cream intravaginally twice a week for two weeks and then once a week for one week. This was an intermediate dose (which ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 mg of conjugated equine estrogen). The therapy was intermittent and of a short duration to minimize the effects of any systemic absorption. There is no specific dose recommended for premenopausal women,9 making its use controversial. Despite the controversy, data from a recent Danish study show a reassuring safety profile. Therefore, conjugated equine estrogen remains a recommended treatment option for vulvovaginal atrophy in women. + +The histological report confirmed exuberant granulation tissue. No foreign body or residual surgical suture was identified in the specimen. A follow-up review at 12 weeks and 6 months confirmed normal wound healing and genitalia function. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_327_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_327_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..59937c56907cc9505907e842c177f447c16f5429 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_327_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 75-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to a 2-year history of gradually progressive gait disturbance.

She noticed a gradual increase in blue-black skin pigmentation on both legs at 72 years. Thereafter, she began to have difficulty walking, and would frequently catch the tip of her foot on the ground. No exposure to other drugs known to cause pigmentary changes was recorded. +Examination of the patient revealed blue-black pigmentation related to minocycline therapy on the distal parts of the legs . The muscle strength was normal in the upper limbs and trunk, but she was unable to perform toe- or heel-walking. There was mild symmetrical weakness and atrophy in the lower limb muscles, but no wide-based gait. Strength testing was performed using Medical Research Council grades, and the results were as follows: hip flexion 4+/5, hip extension 4+/5, knee extension 4/5, knee flexion 4-/5, ankle dorsiflexion 4-/5, and ankle plantar flexion 4-/5. The tendon reflexes were normal except for the absence of ankle jerks. A stocking distribution decrease in appreciation of superficial pain was identified in both legs. Vibration sensation was decreased in the toes and ankles. Laboratory tests, including creatine kinase levels, were normal except for the tests related to RA. Chest roentgenogram and electrocardiogram showed no abnormalities. A nerve conduction study demonstrated no detectable abnormalities except for low amplitude in the bilateral sural nerve action potentials. Needle electromyography showed low amplitude and short duration motor-unit potentials with early recruitment in the quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris and tibialis anterior muscles. No abnormal spontaneous activity was seen in any of the muscles. Skeletal muscle CT revealed diffuse muscular atrophy of the lower extremities. Because the patient was suspected of having myopathy and sensory neuropathy, peroneus muscle and sural nerve biopsies were performed after informed consent was obtained. +The biopsied specimens were snap-frozen in isopentane-liquid nitrogen, and cryosections were stained with a standard battery of histological and histochemical reactions. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were also stained with Prussian blue stain (for iron), Masson Fontana preparation (for melanin) and hydrogen peroxide melanin bleach. Histopathological studies of the biopsied muscle revealed modest variability in myofiber diameter with scattered angular atrophic fibers . There were a considerable number of atrophic fibers with rimmed vacuoles , and multiple collections of granular pigment-containing histiocytes in the endomysial and perimysial perivascular areas. The granules and rimmed vacuoles showed high acid phosphatase activity . The pigmentation was mainly found outside the myofibers, but the NADH-tetrazolium reductase reaction readily identified dark-brown depositions in some fibers. Almost all of the rimmed vacuoles contained granular depositions . No necrotic or regenerating fibers were present. There was no inflammatory infiltrate, except for histiocytes containing pigment that stained bright blue with the Prussian blue . This histiocytic pigment stained black on a Masson Fontana preparation , bleached in response to potassium permanganate, and showed no fluoresce under ultraviolet light, indicating that it was composed of iron and melanin. +Electron microscopy was performed on glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue using a standard electron microscopic processing protocol and a transmission electron microscope. Electron microscopy revealed that the pigment granules were localized in the cytoplasm of histiocytes, in the spaces between myofibers, and adjacent to small blood vessels . In the myofibers, the granules were localized in the subsarcolemmal cytoplasm, either individually or in clusters . Remarkably, autophagic vacuoles were consistently observed in association with many of the granular pigment clusters . Two distinct morphological patterns were evident among the granules found in myofibers: irregularly shaped, highly electron-dense granules, and membrane-bound vesicles of differing electron density with distinct internal structures, often associated with small lipid droplets. +In addition to the standard battery of histological stains, the sural nerve biopsy specimen was embedded in epoxy resin and examined by light and electron microscopy. Light microscopy of the sural nerve showed a reduction in the number of large diameter myelinated fibers, but no other specific features .

She was 3295 g at birth. Although short stature and abnormal facial features such as depressed nose, deeply grooved philtrum, and macroglossia were recognized at birth, the signs were not associated with any particular diagnosis. At 1 year of age, she was diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis. At 5 years of age, a balloon valvuloplasty for severe PS was performed; however, it was not sufficient to reduce the pressure gradient of PS (from 80 mmHg to 50 mmHg). At 6 years of age, surgical valvuloplasty to enlarge the annulus and reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract was performed, which resulted in the disappearance of the PS pressure gradient. She was followed-up at our hospital yearly. Although echocardiogram showed mild PR, her clinical condition was good without specific medical treatment. When she was a high school student, she discontinued regular medical follow-up, and started studying abroad at 18 years of age. She occasionally experienced transient leg edema during this time. At 21 years of age, she developed dyspnea, edema, and abdominal bloating. She returned to Japan; thereafter, she required an emergency hospitalization. She was diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure, which was mainly right-sided heart failure due to severe PR and TR. It was thought that PR had been subclinically exacerbated after the surgical valvuloplasty, resulting in right-ventricular volume overload. She was also diagnosed with protein-losing enteropathy associated with abnormalities in lymphatic drainage. Echocardiography showed no evidence of HCM, MS, or PS recurrence. Cardiac catheterization revealed a normal cardiac index of 3.9 L/min/m2, and a normal estimated mitral valve area of 4.13 cm2/m2. On the basis of the history of PS and characteristic physical features including short stature, webbed neck, and hypertelorism, she was clinically diagnosed with NS for the first time. A chromosomal study showed 46XX with no abnormality of chromosome 12. The patient refused genetic testing. She was successfully treated with a loop diuretic, beta-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and aldosterone inhibitor. After discharge, she resumed regular follow-up at the local hospital. Although the symptoms of heart failure, such as dyspnea and edema, persisted with a New York Heart Association class of II these symptoms could be controlled with oral medical treatment. There were no records regarding the follow-up echocardiographic findings at the local hospital. At 25 years of age, she was admitted to the local hospital again for massive ascites and marked edema and was referred to our hospital. Her height was 107 cm and her weight was 33 kg. She had a body temperature of 36.8 °C, blood pressure of 90/50 mmHg, regular pulse rate of 125 beats/min, respiratory rate of 18 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation of 95% without oxygen administration. On physical examination, she exhibited jugular venous distention at her neck, and systolic and diastolic regurgitant murmur at the left sternal border. Her breath sounds were decreased, and she had abdominal distention with no tenderness and significant leg edema. Laboratory data upon hospitalization are shown in Table 1. Chest radiography showed heart enlargement with cardiothoracic ratio of 63%, pulmonary edema, and bilateral pleural effusion. Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia with right axis deviation. Echocardiogram showed enlargement of the right-side heart with displacement of the ventricular septal wall, as well as severe PR, TR, and severe MS with a mean pressure gradient of 10 mmHg and mild thickening of the mitral valve leaflets. Since diastolic function based on the early diastolic mitral septal annular velocity was normal, it was unlikely that the patient had restrictive cardiomyopathy or constrictive pericarditis. Cardiac catheterization revealed a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 49 mmHg, a mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 33 mmHg, a left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 24 mmHg, a low cardiac index of 1.9 L/min/m2, and confirmed severe MS with an estimated mitral valve area of 0.81 cm2/m2. Coronary arteries were intact. There was no evidence of rheumatic change or infectious endocarditis; the etiology of the late-onset MS was uncertain. Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen showed massive ascites as well as plural effusion and atelectasis in the right lung. On the basis of these findings, she was diagnosed with heart failure of both sides, which was mainly caused by severe PR and TR after surgical valvuloplasty for PS as well as the late-onset severe MS with uncertain etiology. Moreover, her abdominal ultrasonogram findings, including irregular external contour, enlarged left liver lobe, and splenomegaly, indicated that she had developed cirrhosis. This was thought to be associated with long-standing right-side heart failure, because of the negative viral or other hepatitis screening. Results of the analysis of ascites and plural effusion were consistent with a pure transudate. Thus, excessive fluid of the chest and abdomen was considered to have been caused by the chronic right-side heart failure in addition to the severe hypoalbuminemia associated with advanced cirrhosis and protein-losing enteropathy. In addition to the abdominal and chest drainage, fluid management using furosemide, tolvaptan, and carperitide was successfully performed. We discussed a treatment strategy with surgeons, including mitral valve replacement, tricuspid valvuloplasty, and right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction; however, considering the patient’s low left ventricular function, cirrhosis, very low albumin level, and atelectasis caused by the long-standing pleural effusion, surgical options were considered to be extremely high risk. In addition, transcatheter cardiac intervention could not be performed in Japan at that time. Therefore, we continued the optimal medication treatment as well as the occasional abdominal cavity drainage for recurrent ascites. Unfortunately, after repeated hospitalizations for ascites and edema, she died of decompensated heart failure 2 years later. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3288_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3288_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d1c365e34026fd90400dcbba9c66d59770ef5be3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3288_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +We present a 40-year-old female, a gravida-9 para-7+1, who previously underwent an interval bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) in December 2016 during a community outreach program, through a mini laparotomy.

The patient was given Estradiol Valerate (2mg / day) for 5 days and on March 10, a 0.3cm follicle was measured on the right side with 6–7 small follicles, while on the left side a 0.3cm follicle was measured with 9–10 small follicles. Letrozole and HMG were then administered at 2.5mg/ day and 225U/ day, respectively, for 7 days. On March 17, one 0.4cm follicle was measured on the right side with 7–8 small follicles, and one 0.5cm follicle was measured on the left side with 4–5 small follicles. Letrozole (5mg/ day) and HMG (225U/ day) treatment was further continued for 6 days And on March 23, a 0.2cm follicle was measured on the right side with 5–6 small follicles, while 4–5 small follicles were measured on the left side. Letrozole treatment was stopped and increased HMG dose of 300U/ day administered for 5 days. On July 28, a 0.3cm follicle on the right side with 3–4 small follicles, and 2–3 small follicles on the left side were measured. HMG (450U/ day) and Luveris (rLH) dose of 75U/ day were then administered for 4 days. On April 1, one 0.5cm follicle was measured on the right side with 6–7 small follicles and two 0.4cm follicles on the left side, with 3–4 small follicles. A small amount of vaginal bleeding was observed on the first day of rLH administration. HMG (450U/ day) and rLH (75U/ day) treatment was continued for 3 days.

The patient presented with pain, functional limitation and deformity of the left wrist. She reported a history of TCG resection, treated with curettage and obturation of the defect with autograft of the iliac crest 4 years ago. Physical examination revealed deformity of the left distal radius with pain on palpation and significant limitation of flexion-extension movements, with no evidence of distal neurovascular involvement and normal mobility of the fingers. Radiologically, an expansive lytic lesion was observed with thinning of the lateral cortical and rupture of the anteromedial cortical of the left distal radius, classified as grade III of Campanacci for TCG. Surgery was performed with a dorsal approach, dissecting planes until the tumor tissue was found with destruction of the anteromedial cortical at the distal third of the radius. Extensor tendons were removed from the tumor tissue and a 7 cm block resection was performed, preserving the carpal bones. Simultaneously, an autologous graft of about 9 cm from the distal third of the fibula was taken and a 7 cm molded block was placed in the area where the resection was performed.

The lower limbs showed symmetric palpable pulses, no pedal edema, and no muscular atrophy. + +Past medical history and previous investigations +In 2002, she had been diagnosed by echocardiography as having an ostium secundum ASD. Hypokalemia was first documented at a regional hospital in 2007 when she suffered from pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. She had been treated with potassium supplements and several antihypertension medications. However, neither satisfactory blood pressure control nor normal serum potassium levels were achieved during follow-up, and the patient began to complain of increasing weakness. The patient reported that among members of her family, only her mother had suffered from hypertension. + +In 2008, the patient had initially sought a specialist endocrine consultation at our hospital when her hypokalemia resulted in disabling generalized muscle weakness and intense muscle cramps. On her admission in 2008, the following studies were performed, which confirmed a diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. The supine morning plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were 56 ng/mL (N≤15 ng/mL) and 0.13 ng/mL/hour (N=0.5–3.3 ng/mL/hour), respectively. The PAC to PRA ratio was calculated as 430.7 ng/dL per ng/mL/hour (N≤30 ng/dL per ng/mL/hour). Ultrasound of the abdomen showed a mass (3.4×2.3×2.1 cm) in the right suprarenal area that was confirmed with computed tomography (CT) to be an adrenal tumor. The patient had been referred for adrenalectomy, but she initially declined surgery and preferred to remain on medication. She was discharged home with a blood pressure of 145/90 mmHg and a serum potassium level of 3.2 mmol/L with the medications that included spironolactone, captopril, amlodipine, bisoprolol, and potassium chloride tablets. The patient became lost to follow-up for six years, until March 2014. During the period between 2008 to 2014, she was admitted twice to two separate hospitals for episodes of heart failure. + +Investigations on current hospital admission +On admission of the patient to our hospital in March 2014, preliminary laboratory investigations showed severe hypokalemia (2.2 mmol/L) which was refractory (range, 1.9–2.6 mmol/L) even with repeated potassium supplementation. Urinary potassium excretion was 43 mmol/24 h indicating a renal loss of potassium. The serum magnesium level was normal, while the sodium concentrations were in the high normal limit (143 mmol/L). Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) was elevated at 1,257 IU/L, and creatine kinase isoenzyme myocardial band (CKMB) was 221 IU/L. Arterial blood gas analysis showed metabolic alkalosis and ventilation-perfusion mismatch secondary to pulmonary edema. Renal function tests showed normal serum urea and creatinine. Urinalysis showed no proteinuria or myoglobinuria. + +Chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly, with a cardiothoracic ratio of 74.3%, and right atrial (RA) and RV enlargement with pulmonary edema. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus tachycardia with a ventricular rate of 112 beats per minute, left axis deviation, LV hypertrophy with strain, and alteration in ventricular repolarization consistent with hypokalemia with nonspecific ST-T segment depression, and flattened T wave with a prominent U wave. Serum potassium level was 2.1 mmol/L. + +Based on initial findings, a diagnosis of acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) with hypokalemic myopathy was made, and the patient was immediately treated with oxygen therapy, intravenous isosorbide dinitrate, furosemide, and potassium replacement. Then, a conventional heart failure regimen was begun that included a non-selective β-receptor antagonist and α1-receptor antagonist (carvedilol), an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (ramipril), a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (amlodipine), and an aldosterone receptor antagonist (spironolactone). A serum potassium level was maintained of at least >3 mmol/L with parenteral potassium infusion and tablets. + +Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and showed concentric hypertrophy of the LV, with an interventricular septal (IVS) thickness of 14 mm (N=6–9 mm); LV posterior wall thickness in end diastole of 17 mm (N=6–11 mm); LV mass of 473.6 g (N=66–150 g); LV mass index of 284.4 g/m2 (N=43–95 g/m2)); and RV wall thickness of 8 mm in diastole (N≤5 mm). There was four-chamber cardiac dilatation, global ventricular hypokinetic and LV systolic dysfunction, with an ejection fraction of 17% (Teichholz method). A large interatrial septum gap was present with a defect size of 2.4×2.7 cm, with a left-to-right shunt confirming the diagnosis of ostium secundum ASD. The RA and the RV were dilated, and the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 60 mmHg indicated moderately severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). + +An abdominal CT scan was performed and compared with the previous scans, and showed an enlarged adrenal mass, from 3.4 cm in diameter in 2008 to approximately 4 cm in diameter in 2014. The tumor was minimally enhanced after contrast injection with low attenuation (+5 Hounsfield units). The absolute washout was calculated as 68%, and the mass was considered as a lipid-poor adenoma. + +The investigations of endocrine function showed that her PAC failed to be suppressed after 120 minutes of captopril 50 mg, and the PAC-to-PRA ratio was still elevated further, which confirmed the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. Other adrenal hormone levels were within normal limits. The diagnoses made at this time were of a right adrenal adenoma and biochemical diagnosis of primary aldosteronism, with acute heart failure, decreased LV systolic dysfunction, hypertensive heart disease, severe hypokalemia, rhabdomyolysis, left-to-right cardiac shunt due to a secundum ASD with moderate pulmonary hypertension (WHO functional class II). On this hospital admission, adrenalectomy was performed as the patient was willing to undergo surgery, and the blood pressure was adequately controlled before surgery. + +Surgical management on current hospital admission +After sufficient pre-operative preparation, the patient underwent open adrenalectomy and exploration of the right adrenal mass via a posterior approach. The resected adrenal gland was a single, well defined and encapsulated yellowish nodule which weighed 27.9 g and measured 4.1×2.6×1.5 cm. Histopathology examination confirmed a diagnosis of a benign adrenocortical adenoma. + +Patient follow-up and outpatient management +The patient made an uncomplicated recovery post-operatively. Immediately after the removal of the tumor, the PAC was found to be reduced to 8 ng/mL, and the PAC-to-PRA ratio dropped to nearly normal levels. Her serum potassium concentration was normalized without any supplementation. Approximately three days after surgery, the patient remained clinically stable and had adequate blood pressure control with ramipril 5 mg qd. Her postoperative biochemistry showed a serum potassium of 4.1 mmol/L and normal CPK and CKMB. The patient was discharged home and showed stable biochemical findings on follow-up outpatient visits. + +Repeated echocardiography in September 2015 demonstrated improvement in the LV and RV size. Her LVEF had improved from 17% at presentation to 56% at 18 months after adrenalectomy. Right cardiac catheterization showed a mean right atrial pressure (RAP) of 10 mm Hg, a pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) of 54/29 mmHg (mean 42 mmHg), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of 597 dyn s/cm5, and a mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 11 mmHg. The pulmonary artery blood flow (Qp) relative to systemic blood flow (Qs) was 3.8 (Qp/Qs >1.5). Given the significant ASD, particularly with a high PAP and PVR, she was referred for an open surgical closure of her ASD. However, she refused to undergo cardiac surgery because of financial constraints. At her last visit to the clinic in December 2015, the patient was still on ramipril 5 mg qd and remained symptom-free with a blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg and normal potassium level. Currently, her degree of heart failure is stable. At the time of writing this case report, surgical closure of the ASD remains to be undertaken. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3387_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3387_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6d0b64fa031d8e7c03824d83aa8a6fc8fb021ae6 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3387_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +A 44-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to “Cognitive decline for 4 years and paroxysmal loss of consciousness with convulsion for 2 months”.

On cranial nerve examination, he had preserved pupillary responses, visual fields were full on confrontational testing, and he had normal fundoscopy bilaterally. His extraocular movements were preserved. He had bilateral facial weakness (facial diplegia) and decreased subjective sensation to light touch and pinprick in the left trigeminal nerve distribution. He did not have any hearing impairment and his uvula and palate elevated symmetrically. He did not have any weakness in his sternocleidomastoid, trapezius or tongue muscles. On motor testing, there was decreased tone in his upper extremities, with bilateral shoulder girdle and intrinsic hand muscle atrophy. On confrontational strength testing (based on the six-point Medical Research Council scale), he had normal neck flexion and extension strength. He had near symmetric proximal and distal weakness in the upper extremities, with strength of two to three out of five in all muscle groups tested, slightly worse on his right . His strength was normal in his lower extremities. +On multimodal sensory examination, he had subjectively decreased sensation to light touch and pinprick in his left radial nerve, left median nerve and right axillary nerve distributions. A sensory examination of his lower extremities was normal. His triceps and patellar reflexes were diminished bilaterally, with preservation of his other myotactic stretch reflexes. His plantar responses were flexor bilaterally, and he did not demonstrate any frontal cortical release signs. Automated blood pressure and heart rate measurements performed at the bedside with postural change demonstrated severe orthostatic hypotension with sympathetic α- and β-adrenergic compromise as follows: supine blood pressure, 142/90mmHg (mean arterial pressure, MAP, 107mmHg) with heart rate 68 beats/minute; sitting blood pressure, 97/64mmHg (MAP 75mmHg) and heart rate 77 beats/minute; standing blood pressure, 65/40mmHg (MAP 48mmHg) and heart rate: 81 beats/minute. +His elevated serum hemoglobin A1C of 7.9% (normal 4.3 to 6.1%) was consistent with suboptimal diabetes control.

No changes suggestive of spinal cord or nerve root inflammation were observed. +Nerve conduction studies (NCS; Table ) suggested a primary axonal neuropathy. Mild conduction velocity slowing or prolonged distal latency, with reduced compound motor action potential amplitudes are consistent with this inference. There was no evidence of conduction block in any of the nerves studied. The normal tibial motor and sural sensory NCS provided evidence supporting the non-length-dependent nature of the patient’s axonal neuropathy. Monopolar needle electromyography revealed moderately severe chronic reinnervation changes in his radial, distal median, distal ulnar and axillary-innervated muscles bilaterally, with ongoing denervation changes in muscles innervated by his left distal median, right radial and bilateral axillary nerves only. Monopolar needle electromyography of cranial nerve VII innervated muscles revealed moderate chronic reinnervation changes bilaterally. +The electrodiagnostic data was consistent with chronic, moderately severe, axonal mononeuropathies affecting the patient’s radial, median, ulnar, axillary and facial nerves; slightly worse on the left, as seen in mononeuropathy multiplex. There was also evidence of moderately severe chronic reinnervation changes affecting the L2–L4 myotomes on the left, suggestive of subclinical lumbar radiculopathies (explaining his diminished knee reflexes on examination). Secondary chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is unlikely because the clinical presentation, physical signs with preserved reflexes, were not consistent with CIDP, despite the elevated protein on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Moreover, the electrodiagnostic data did not meet the European Federation of Neurological Societies/Peripheral Nerve Society criteria for CIDP. +He underwent a left superficial radial nerve biopsy that demonstrated a chronic vasculitic neuropathy with ongoing Wallerian degeneration, and severe end-stage axonal loss, as shown in Figure . This was consistent with a diagnosis of vasculitic mononeuropathy multiplex. A salivary gland biopsy (to evaluate for xerostomia) was normal. High-dose intravenous methylprednisolone was administered for 5 days followed by oral prednisone (1mg/kg/day) with strict glycemic control. A liberal salt diet, >2L fluid intake per day, JOBST® waist high compression stockings (to provide 30 to 40mmHg pressure), and fludrocortisone were used to treat the severe orthostatic hypotension. The patient was discharged to a rehabilitation facility for upper extremity physical and occupational therapy. +At 3-month follow up, the patient reported mild improvement in his upper extremity function, evidenced by interval objective improvement on confrontational strength testing and improved facial expression. There was less orthostasis, with infrequent spells of postural lightheadedness despite non-compliance with compression stockings. The repeat MoCA score was unchanged, with stable deficits in visuospatial, executive function and delayed recall, although the patient and his family had noted a subjective improvement in his cognition. He was subsequently started on azathioprine, which was titrated upwards to a total daily dose of 2mg/kg/day alongside a gradual prednisone wean. +At 1-year follow up, he demonstrated further improvement in muscle strength with stable cognitive deficits. He had further improvement in orthostatic hypotension, and was continued on fludrocortisone. His glycemic control had worsened with a hemoglobin A1C of 10%, and continued with a dose tapering prednisone regimen in addition to azathioprine. His hemoglobin A1C 1.5 years after hospital discharge was 9.2% on low-dose prednisone and therapeutic azathioprine. He continues to receive specialist endocrinological care for diabetes.

A total dose of 57.6 Gy (relative biological effectiveness; RBE) in 16 fractions was administered. Physical dose calculations were performed using the pencil beam algorithm. The clinical dose distribution was calculated according to the physical dose and the RBE. The dose of C-ion RT was expressed as “Gy (RBE)”: physical C-ion dose (Gy)×RBE.

Computed tomography (CT) showed a huge 10-cm mass under the right diaphragm . This well-circumscribed and smooth-marginated tumor showed minor enhancement in the lower density areas close to the fat and showed a gradual, heterogeneous mild enhancement of tumor and liver margins. The main feeder for the tumor is the right inferior phrenic artery, and this tumor was supposed to be a sarcomatoid malignancy originating from the diaphragm rather than a benign disease such as schwannoma on CT. No findings were suggesting obvious pulmonary invasion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated heterogeneous high signal intensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted images (DWI) . Contrast-enhanced MRI showed gradual heterogeneous enhancement similar to CT findings. Findings of extrahepatic development were also obtained, but the possibility of adhesion to the liver was suspected. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) revealed abnormal uptake in the tumor with a maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 4.6 . The uptake was not so high, and a myxoid type sarcoma, such as myxoid liposarcoma, or benign tumor was considered. Although a definitive diagnosis could not be achieved, we scheduled a diaphragmatic resection for suspicion of benign tumors of the diaphragm, such as mucous-type sarcoma or schwannoma. However, we performed extended right posterior segmentectomy with combined resection of the diaphragm, because separation of the tumor from the liver was not possible and the tumor was close to the posterior Glisson’s pedicles and segment 8 dorsal Glisson’s pedicles . The total operation time was 8 h 10 m, and the total blood loss was 1459 mL. Although the major diameter of the diaphragmatic defect was 12 cm, simple closure was possible . The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged 14 days after surgery. Pathological findings showed that the mass was located just below the hepatic capsule/intraparenchymal space and was adherent to the diaphragm, but there was no continuity with the diaphragm . Mitosis was unremarkable, about 0–1 cells/10 HPF. The morphology suggested low-grade mesenchymal tumors such as solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) , but immunostaining was negative for these tumors, making the diagnosis difficult . We diagnosed the tumor as a spindle cell tumor with smooth muscle differentiation because of the positive results of myosin markers such as αSMA, desmin, and h-caldesmon, although some areas with high proliferative activity were observed. 1 year has passed since the surgery with no recurrence. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_449_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_449_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2634c0ffb3896e8a00a6f65f6f4579b410405a6d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_449_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 23-year-old, nulliparous, Chinese woman at 35 weeks gestation, was admitted to the hospital complaining of hematuria accompanied by severe pain in the left abdomen and left subcostal area.

The patient was admitted to the hospital for observation. The hematuria resolved the day following admission, and she was discharged 1 week after admission when the loin pain decreased and her hemodynamic status was stabilized. +At 34 weeks gestation, she presented at the urology clinic with a growing mass in the left subcostal area. Ultrasound showed right renal hydronephrosis without hydroureter. In addition, a cyst was noted to surround the left kidney, and this was measured as 250 × 170 × 233 mm. The cyst was located under the left renal capsule, and the margins were 100 mm from the upper pole, and 60 mm from the lower pole of the left kidney. The medial margin of the cyst was 70 mm away from the medial edge of the left kidney, and 103 mm away from the lateral edge. It was suspected that she had a subcapsular hematoma following renal rupture. At the time, she was more than 33 weeks pregnant, and her laboratory values were normal for kidney function, hematocrit and hemoglobin. She declined further testing of the mass because she was concerned about the side effects on the fetus. +The patient came to the Obstetric Department requesting a cesarean section when she was 35 weeks pregnant because she could not bear the severe pain of the increasingly swollen left subcostal mass. She denied nausea, shortness of breath, fever or chills, and there was no vaginal bleeding or uterine contractions.

The first diagnosis was hematoma or abscess surrounding the left kidney. Because her hemodynamic status was stable without anemia or fever for more than 2 months after the renal rupture, she had been followed using repeat urine analyses, which showed no hematuria. The urologist diagnosed her current condition as perirenal urine extravasation, and it was decided to place a percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCN) before delivery or during the surgery. +The patient requested Cesarean section because the gestational age was 35 weeks, and due to concerns about the progression of the subcostal mass, the surgery was performed. The patient agreed to receive the PCN placement along with the Cesarean section. A male newborn weighing 2580 g with an Apgar score 10/10 at 1 and 5 min was delivered. Following completion of the Cesarean section, the patient’s upper abdominal cavity was explored, and, on the left side, a large retroperitoneal bulging mass was noted with an estimated size of 300 × 200 × 300 mm. The consulting urologist suctioned 5 ml of light yellow fluid from the mass and the sample was sent for creatinine determination. The creatinine level of the sample was 2100 μmol/L and similar to the level in the patient’s urine. A left urinoma as a result of spontaneous renal rupture was then diagnosed, and a total of 4 L of fluid was drained via the PCN. PCN was left in the urinoma to allow for further drainage of urine. After 3 days, a computer tomography (CT) scan was performed to assess the effect of draining the urinoma. The CT revealed that the PCN was properly placed in the cyst, and that the urinoma had decreased in size. The patient was discharged 1 week after the surgery with the PCN in place. She was closely followed by a urologist, and the nephrostomy tube was to be removed when there was no further drainage. Two months postpartum, the CT scan showed the cyst had diminished in size to 50 mm . Six months later, an ultrasound scan was performed and revealed that no perirenal extravasation was present.

The tumor cells were arranged in an unusual trabecular pattern with rare pseudorosettes (neuroectodermal differentiation) and immunopositivity for CD99 (diffuse-membranous), FLI-1 (nuclear-strong), anti NKx-2.2, Synaptophysin (weak), CD56 (weak), and CKAE1/AE3 (weak-focal) ( A, B, C & D). The diagnosis of extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma of right foot was established. Intravenous oxycodone was administrated to relive patient's sever pain. The patient initially underwent thoraco-lumber pathological fractures fixation with fusion from T2-L1 level, total surgical resection of the foot mass. The procedure was performed by a consultant at spine surgery and spinal deformities department at a private hospital. The patient was started a chemotherapy regimen consisting of carboplatin and paclitaxel weekly. The patient was followed up for 2 months and She adhered to and tolerated the provided advices; avoiding vigorous exercise and heavy lifting. The patient also had a good tolerance of chemotherapy and pharmacological agents without any reported complications or adverse events. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_49_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_49_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..14e32617cacb9606f33c2e7dd15ca29b88b8d6a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_49_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +The patient is a 66-year-old white male with a past medical history of a traumatic brain injury with left-sided hemiplegia since childhood, hypertension, leukemia in remission since 2005, and bilateral renal artery stenosis. +The first time the patient presented to the hospital on day one complaining of generalized weakness and malaise of one week duration.

The specimen was cultured into selective media including blood agar (for isolating aerobic bacteria), chocolate agar (incubated in a candle jar for isolating aerobic capnophilic bacteria), thioglycollate broth (for recovering anaerobic bacteria), eosin methylene blue agar (EMB; for recovering gram-negative bacteria), and subro dextrose agar (for isolating fungi). Also, two sets of slides were prepared and stained with gram and acid-fast staining. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and acid-fast staining were employed for identification of acid-fast bacilli, which were negative.

Eight days earlier, she had received uneventful bilateral injection of brolucizumab, a novel anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) single-chain variable region (scFv) recombinant protein drug, for treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The patient had a 2-year history of bilateral nAMD, which had been treated with ten anti-VEGF injections (3 × bevacizumab, 7 × aflibercept) in her right eye, and 12 aflibercept injections in her left eye, with a final treatment interval of every 8 weeks. Her visual acuity was 20/200 in her right eye and 20/400 in her left eye. She had undergone a vitrectomy with membrane peeling for macular pucker, combined with cataract surgery, in the left eye in March 2016. Her relevant medical history included arterial hypertension, osteoporosis, and follicular thyroid carcinoma treated with radiotherapy years ago without metastasis. Current medications included aspirin cardio, euthyrox, lercanidipine, nebivolol, irbesartan, and ibandronate. +In September 2020, her treating ophthalmologist switched her anti-VEGF treatment to brolucizumab with the aim of reducing her clinical visits to once every 12 weeks, based on the published data of the HAWK and HARRIER trials . Two weeks after her first same-day bilateral brolucizumab injections, the patient complained of a dark spot in her right peripheral visual field, which remained unchanged until her appointment 8 weeks later, at which she received her second same-day bilateral intravitreal brolucizumab injections. No additional examinations were performed to exclude signs of ocular vasculitis prior to the injections. A follow-up visit the next day revealed a mild anterior chamber reaction on the right eye, and no signs of inflammation on the left. No treatment was deemed necessary. Seven days later, the patient complained of moderate pain, redness, and blurry vision in both eyes. The following day, she presented to our emergency service due to severe vision loss in both eyes. +At presentation, her visual acuity in each eye was classified as “hand motions”. Slit-lamp examination revealed marked conjunctivitis with diffuse hemorrhages in both eyes. The cornea of each eye exhibited Descemet folds and severe stromal edema. In both eyes, the anterior chamber was filled with fibrin and dispersed blood on the corneal endothelium, but without a hypopyon , and the iris presented with scattered small hemorrhages. The intraocular pressure was 15 mmHg in her right eye and 8 mmHg in her left eye. The fundus of the right eye was not visible due to cataract and corneal edema, and her left eye exhibited diffuse opacities in the vitreous cavity and dense retinal hemorrhages. Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy of her left eye revealed marked vascular sheathing . +Based on the lack of hypopyon and an A- and B-scan sonography without hyperreflectivity in the vitreous cavity, infectious endophthalmitis was considered unlikely, and was later excluded since taps from the anterior chamber and vitreous cavity remained negative for eubacterial PCR and microbial culture assay. As the clinical picture resembled an ocular ischemic inflammatory syndrome, temporal arteritis and other forms of vasculitis were considered, but were deemed unlikely due to the patient’s history, lack of painful temporal arteries, and atypical laboratory results. +With a working diagnosis of brolucizumab-related vasculitis, immediate treatment was initiated with intravenous methylprednisolone (250 mg) per clinicians discretion, followed by oral prednisolone (1 mg/kilogram body weight). We decided against a complete pulse therapy cycle with IV methylprednisolone after a reviewing the literature that did not show any proven clinical benefit . On the second day of treatment (10 days after second brolucizumab injection), her visual acuity had deteriorated to no light perception in both eyes and remained unchanged thereafter. +MRI evaluations were performed to search for vasculitis outside the eyeball. T1 fat-saturated post-contrast images of the orbit revealed a higher-than-normal signal of the choroid, with localized choroidal detachment . Additionally, pathologic enhancement was visible around the optic nerve in the orbit, which was interpreted as vasculitis . Black blood MR sequences were also performed, which did not reveal CNS vessel involvement. Due to the suspected severe periocular vaculitis, an additional vitreous tap was obtained, which revealed elevated levels of interleukin 6 (> 300 pg/ml; normal vitreous value in control group: < 30 pg/ml) and interleukin 10 (40.6 pg/ml; normal vitreous value: < 3 pg/ml) . Conjunctival biopsy of the left eye showed edema and inflammation, with intracapillary granulocyte accumulation.

The total dive time was 30 min. +She presented to the local hospital ~90 min later where an initial ECG demonstrated a rhythm at ~70 beats per minutes with slightly widened QRS complexes and an absence of regular atrial activity, likely compatible with an accelerated idioventricular rhythm (, left panel). These modifications subsequently resolved 30 min later, with a return to sinus rhythm, but with fragmented QRS complexes, Q waves, and T-wave inversion now noted in inferior leads (, right panel). A blood test revealed normal levels of troponin and CK-MB—these tests were not repeated. An echocardiogram revealed a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with no regional wall motion abnormalities. The chest pain resolved ~2 h after onset, and the patient was discharged with aspirin and bisoprolol but no clear diagnosis. +One week later, having returned home, she presented with new-onset, central, respiration-dependant chest pain, distinct in character from the previous chest pain. The patient was haemodynamically stable with a normal clinical examination. A 12-lead ECG revealed inferior Q waves with marked infero-lateral T-wave inversion . +Blood tests revealed a high-sensitivity troponin T level of 78 ng/l (normal <14 ng/l), with repeated testing over the subsequent hours/days revealing a decreasing trend that reached a nadir of 33 ng/l. Of note, C-reactive protein was slightly raised at 14 ng/l (normal <10 ng/l), but leukocytes were in the normal range. +Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an LVEF of 63% but with akinesia of the left ventricular mid-inferior wall and hypokinesia of the distal inferior wall . +Given the history and these findings, a subacute myocardial infarction (MI) was suspected with possible peri-infarction pericarditis. At this stage, the possible mechanisms of the MI included: a conventional type 1 MI (i.e., atherosclerotic plaque rupture) or a type 2 MI secondary to SCAD or coronary spasm, given the context of physical stress. Other differential diagnoses that were considered included myocarditis and coronary arterial gas embolism. However, the former was considered unlikely given the context, the acute onset of chest pain, and the absence of recent upper respiratory infection or gastroenteritis. The latter is phenomenon seen in decompression sickness and thus was deemed implausible given the onset of chest pain during decent, the profile of the dive, and the controlled nature of the subsequent ascent. +The patient was started on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (aspirin and clopidogrel) pending a coronary angiogram, with high-dose aspirin (500 mg tds) prescribed to manage the pericarditic chest pain. A proton pump inhibitor was also started for gastric protection. +Invasive coronary angiography revealed coronary arteries free of significant stenoses except for a subtle irregularity of the posterior left ventricular artery . Given the suspicion of SCAD, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed, revealing an intramural haematoma of the posterior left ventricular artery with a patent true lumen, thus confirming the diagnosis of SCAD . +Subsequent cardiac MRI (CMR) confirmed the presence of an MI of the mid-inferior wall [transmural late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)] with extension to the distal inferior territory (subendocardial LGE) . Additionally, LGE of the pericardium in contact with the zone of infarction was also noted, suggesting a localised pericarditis. +As per current recommendations , given the absence of haemodynamic instability, and the presence of normal flow in the culprit coronary artery, the SCAD was managed conservatively without revascularisation. To treat the pericarditis, high-dose aspirin was continued for a total of 2 weeks along with a 3-month course of colchicine as per current guidelines . Low-dose aspirin (100 mg od) was subsequently continued long-term. Clopidogrel was discontinued due to the lack of clear evidence for the use of dual antiplatelet therapy in this context. Due to the presence of a normal LVEF, ACE inhibitors and beta blockers were not prescribed. +The patient's symptoms resolved during the admission and she was discharged from hospital 6 days later. The follow-up period was unremarkable with an absence of chest pain recurrence. Of note, routine screening for fibromuscular dysplasia by duplex ultrasonography was negative. The screen was completed with computed tomography angiography in ambulatory care. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_590_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_590_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..eccae331462a066fdd136ce75ee4e1107c55fbba --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_590_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +The patient, a 32-year-old female, was admitted to the hospital on May 17th, 2023 at 15:51 with a chief complaint of “cough for 7 days, aggravated with hemoptysis for 9 hours.” She had a past medical history of Hashimoto thyroiditis, which was not systematically treated.

ZN staining showed AFB and BACTEC culture confirmed the same by isolating M. tuberculosis (by para-nitro-alpha-acetylamino-beta-hydroxy-propiophenone (NAP) test). Antibiotic sensitivity was performed with the BACTEC TB 460 instrument and the isolate was sensitive to isoniazid, streptomycin, rifampicin and ethambutol. PCR assay of the aspirate was also positive for M. tuberculosis DNA. The lysozyme proteinase K extraction method was used to extract the DNA.

Of note, the lumbar and sacral epidural space showed no abnormalities or lesions. Her oncology team determined she was no longer a candidate for any further treatment and recommended palliative measures only. Her prognosis was poor with a life expectancy of a few weeks. Her pain control regimen included fentanyl patch 200 mcg every 72 hours, hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10/325 mg every 6 hours as needed, duloxetine 60 mg daily, and gabapentin 300 mg three times a day; however, she continued to have uncontrolled pain with significant decrease in her quality of life. +Due to the patient’s poor prognosis and short life expectancy, an implantable intrathecal pain pump was not pursued. It was decided that a tunneled multiorifice epidural catheter with an external infusion pump would be the best treatment option for her pain. The epidural catheter was placed at the L5-S1 level using standard fluoroscopic technique. A paramedian approach with the Tuohy bevel directed cephalad was used to advance the catheter to the L3–4 vertebral level. Then 2 mL of injected contrast showed spread along the right L5 and S1 nerve roots. There was no contralateral spread seen and therefore the decision was made to inject a test dose of 6 mL of bupivacaine 0.25%. After waiting for 10 minutes, the patient was assessed and she had marked anesthesia and decreased pain on her right side, but normal pain on the left. To get full relief of her symptoms, it was decided to place a second tunneled epidural catheter using the same technique as the previous catheter placement along the left side of the epidural space at the same L5-S1 level in order to achieve bilateral analgesia. Then 2 mL of contrast was again injected through this catheter after placement, and it showed spread only along the left L5 and S1 nerve roots . To achieve contrast spread bilaterally, injection through both epidural catheters was required. The placement of two epidural catheters was therefore performed in order to avoid the anticipated poor bilateral spread of infused local anesthetic and subsequent inadequate pain relief. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was placed on dual patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) pumps with each pump delivering a basal dose of 3 mL of bupivacaine 0.2% per hour with a demand dose of 3 mL every 30 minutes. She received excellent pain control and her reported numeric pain score for her lower extremity and sacral pain went from a 10 to a 3. She was discharged to hospice and placed under the care of the palliative physician. On phone call follow-up, it was reported that she had no adverse effects associated with the epidural infusion and continued to have numeric pain scores in the 3 to 6 range. While in hospice she was continued on the same basal epidural infusion and with approximately five demand doses per day. The patient remained on the same topical and oral pain medication regimen, which included transdermal fentanyl and oral hydrocodone/acetaminophen.

He had been an office worker for 40 years and had never been involved in agriculture. He had therefore had no obvious opportunity for exposure to the citrus pathogen in his work environment or in and around his house. His asthma was of the non-atopic type and moderate, as defined by the Global Initiative for Asthma Guidelines 2002. The patient was an ex-smoker with a Brinkman Index of 1590. He was being treated with inhaled corticosteroids and theophylline. On first presentation in April 2005 to our hospital, he did not have asthma exacerbation or increased sputum production, but his dyspnoea on effort was graded 2 on the Hugh–Jones scale. In April 2005, when the patient was 78 years old, an abnormal shadow representing a cavity was found in the left upper lung on chest X ray at his yearly medical check-up. At the time the patient did not have increased sputum production, but chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a thin-walled cavity about 4 cm across and containing a fungus ball in the left upper lobe (S1 + 2); a CT scan taken 2 years previously had revealed only a small cavity indicative of emphysematous change (Figures a, +b). There were no inflammatory changes in the peripheral blood (leukocyte count, 7950 cells/μL; C-reactive protein, 0.23 mg/dL; erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 10 mm/h; Aspergillus antigen, negative; β-D glucan, negative), but antigen-specific precipitating antibodies to Aspergillus flavus and P. digitatum were confirmed in the patient’s serum and pleural fluid by Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion testing +. No A. flavus or P. digitatum and no bacteria or tubercle bacilli were detected in cultures of sputum or bronchial lavage fluids. We diagnosed the patient with lung aspergilloma and treated with itraconazole (100 mg/day) for 3 months. However, the cavity became larger and thicker-walled (Figure c, July 2005), and the patient developed back pain. He was admitted to our hospital on 25 July 2005 and was treated for 3 months with an increased dose of itraconazole (200 mg/day) with added micafungin (300 mg/day).

Treatment with this broad range of antimycotics and antibiotics did not slow the growth of the cavity: its fluid content continued to increase, and invasive consolidation and pleural effusion developed (Figure e, December 2005; 1f, January 2006). The pleural effusion increased, and the patient began producing purulent sputum. He died in February 2006 from progressive renal failure. Sputum samples yielded a single fungus, which was isolated repeatedly on potato-dextrose agar in large quantities.

No symptoms of hypertension, fever, extrasystoles were found on physical examination, and no arrhythmia or rhythm disturbances were found on the electrocardiography. No previous medical and family history was declared by the patient. A chest X-ray showed that the patient’s cardiothoracic ratio was enlarged and that her cardiophrenic sinus was obscured on the right side (see Fig. ). A transthoracic echocardiography indicated pericardial effusion, tricuspid, and pulmonary insufficiencies and showed a large echogenic mass involving the pericardium beside the right heart. Pericardiocentesis was performed, and a cytologic examination of the bloody pericardial fluid obtained though fine needle aspiration (FNA) showed monotonous cells with oval-spindle vesicular nuclei with less amphophilic cytoplasm, evenly distributed chromatin, and inconspicuous nucleoli that formed groups in hypocellular samples (see Fig. ). Overlapping nuclei were observed locally. During pre-diagnosis, a spindle cell mesenchymal tumor with uncertain malignant potential was considered. Adequate sample cannot be obtained from aspiration for cell block preparation. +A contrasted CT scan of the chest showed a heterogeneously enhanced lesion measuring 12 cm x 11 cm x 6.5 cm located in the right mid-anterior of the pericardial area (see Fig. ). The mass had a heterogeneous internal structure, creating significant pressure on the right heart and superior vena cava. There was no radiological space between the mass and the right heart, and no significant vascular, cardiac, or thoracic wall invasions were observed. No lymph node involvement was observed in the mediastinal or hilar regions. The trachea, including both main bronchi and bronchial trees, was open. Neither an active infiltrative appearance nor any nodular lesions could not be seen in the lung parenchyma (see Fig. ). All radiological findings were indicative of either a pericardial fibroma or a pericardial sarcoma, both of which were noted in the differential diagnosis. On positron emission tomography (PET)-CT imaging, only the pericardial mass showed increased F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake with a maximum standard uptake of 5.3. No lymph node metastasis was detected radiologically. +After the radiological examinations, the pericardial mass was decided to be resected. During thoracotomy, the pericardial mass was found to invade the ventricular wall and main vascular structures, therefore, the mass was resected incompletely. Due to the location, extent and nature of the tumor, debulking surgery was performed and R0 surgery could not be performed. Macroscopically, any palpable lymph node was not detected during the surgery. +Histopathologically, a spindle cell mesenchymal tumor with infiltrative limited hypercellular fascicular structure containing a small amount of loose myxoid stroma hyalinized, and necrotic areas showing mild to moderate pleomorphism were observed in fragmented mass samples (see Fig. a).

His past medical history was significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, previous smoking history, ulcerative colitis and proctitis for which he was receiving Sulphasalazine. The patient did not receive corticosteroids or neoadjuvant chemo- or radiotherapy. Preoperative spirometry was unremarkable. Preoperative computerised tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed a left upper lobe mass with adjacent pleural tethering and consolidative changes proximate to the left mainstem bronchus (LMSB). As multiple small calcified lymph nodes were seen in the right hilar and subcarinal regions , the patient was planned for mediastinoscopy and lymph node sampling, followed by left upper lobe wedge resection should frozen section examination of the right hilar and subcarinal lymph nodes return negative for malignancy. The left mainstem bronchus measured 13.1 mm (anteroposterior) by 14.0 mm (craniocaudal) on the preoperative CT. Measurements were taken 2 cm distal to the carina, perpendicular to the axis of the bifurcation General anesthesia was induced with propofol, remifentanil and atracurium. After induction, a single lumen tube (single-use polyvinyl chloride endotracheal tube 7.5 mm internal diameter) was inserted under direct laryngoscopy on first pass and secured at 23 cm at the lips. Endotracheal tube introducers were not used. Using a standard anesthetic breathing circuit and anesthetic machine, positive pressure ventilation was instituted with pressure-control mode with a peak airway pressure of 20cmH2O and positive end expiratory pressure of 4cmH2O, achieving a tidal volume of 8 mL.kg−1 in a 2L.min−1 air:oxygen mix. Maintenance of anesthesia was performed with total intravenous anesthesia of propofol and remifentanil, titrating the effect site concentrations to achieve an appropriate depth of anesthesia according to bispectral index monitor. The patient was paralysed with an atracurium infusion. +Mediastinoscopy was performed in supine position via a suprasternal incision, with dissection along the pre-tracheal fascia. The mediastinal lymph nodes frozen section returned negative for malignancy, and surgery proceeded to resection of the left upper lobe lesion via a left open thoracotomy. With the patient still in supine position, and using a bronchoscope (Ambu® aScope™ 4 Broncho Slim 3.8 mm outer diameter), a 9Fr Fuji Uniblocker® was inserted into the LMSB with the balloon deflated. The balloon was inflated with air incrementally under bronchoscopic guidance to a volume of 7 mL to achieve lung separation – within the manufacturer-specified maximum volume of 8 mL. The volume of air required was taken note of and the balloon was then deflated before turning the patient to the right lateral decubitus position. After final patient positioning, bronchoscopy was again used to confirm the position of the EBB and the balloon inflated to the required volume for lung separation. No obvious irregularity or compression of the LMSB was noted on bronchoscopy. There was no sign of blood before, during and after balloon inflation. Initial EBB balloon pressure measured via the pilot balloon was 31cmH2O. A Portex® cuff inflator pressure gauge was used intraoperatively for balloon pressure measurement. The EBB was not manipulated following placement, and there was no patient coughing throughout surgery. One-lung ventilation was instituted using pressure control with a peak airway pressure of 24cmH2O and positive end expiratory pressure of 8cmH2O. An air leak of approximately 100-150 mL per breath was detectable following inflation of EBB balloon, but this was managed with an increase in gas flows to 4L.min−1, sufficient to prevent collapse of the ventilator bellow and to achieve a tidal volume of 6 mL.kg−1. There was no desaturation, abnormal capnography or abnormal airway pressure or flow curves. +A large left upper lobe tumour (3.3 cm × 5.8 cm) with pleural puckering and dense adhesions between the left hilar tissues was found intraoperatively. During surgical dissection around the LMSB, multiple air pockets with air-trapping were noted between the mediastinal pleura and mediastinal organs. A rupture was found in the posterior wall of the LMSB starting just below the carina and extending 7 cm distally , with the EBB balloon seen just beneath the peribronchial tissue. A large volume air leak was noted immediately during surgical dissection of the surrounding tissue with complete collapse of the ventilator bellow. The EBB was immediately deflated and removed, and the ETT guided into the right mainstem bronchus using a fiberoptic bronchoscope and the ETT balloon inflated to a pressure of 28cmH2O. Thus, one-lung ventilation was achieved with right endobronchial intubation. +The LMSB was repaired with 3/0 Polydioxanone (PDS) sutures and tagged to the esophageal wall posteriorly. The ETT was then withdrawn into the trachea under bronchoscopic guidance following repair of the LMSB. The left hemithorax was then irrigated with povidone iodine and saline, and no air leak was detected with a Valsalva maneuver of 40 cmH2O. The Valsalva maneuver was performed by switching the ventilator to manual ventilation and the adjustable pressure-limiting valve closed to 40 cmH2O. Fresh gas flow was increased and the breathing circuit bag squeezed for 15 seconds to generate the needed Valsalva maneuver pressure. 40 cmH2O was used at the surgeon’s request. No subcutaneous emphysema was present on clinical examination. +Throughout the operation, the patient was relatively stable hemodynamically. There was a slight drop in blood pressure during initiation of one-lung ventilation but this was resolved with boluses of phenylephrine and ephedrine. There was no significant hypoxia during one-lung ventilation and the lowest saturation recorded was 96%. +The patient was extubated uneventfully at the conclusion of surgery and transferred to the intensive care unit. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial cover with Piperacillin-Tazobactam was initiated empirically. However, on the 3rd postoperative day, the patient developed altered mental status and severe bilateral pneumonia, worse on the right – the dependent side intraoperatively . This required subsequent reintubation and positive pressure ventilation. Post-operative bronchoscopy and CT revealed the LMSB repair to be intact. The postoperative course was subsequently complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome, and a left lower lobar pulmonary embolism. The patient received a total of 67 days of positive pressure ventilation, of which 2 days were in the prone position. Unfortunately, the in-hospital stay was further complicated by multi-organ dysfunction, leading to the eventual demise of the patient. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_67_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_67_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3861caf4ee95effb93c1899ecbddca4b56b1a544 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_67_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +An 84-year-old male patient presented to our emergency department with bilateral hip joint pain and limited mobility due to high energy injury (a severe car accident).

The patient received blood transfusions and fluid resuscitation and other symptomatic supportive treatments in the ICU. The vital signs gradually stabilized, but he still complained of pain in his lower limbs (VAS 8). After 6 days, he was transferred to the orthopedic department. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultation was convened, involving experts from department of ICU, vascular surgery, cardiology, neurosurgery, hepatobiliary surgery, thoracic surgery, and anesthesiology. The decision was made to perform surgery after administering packed red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma to correct anemia and coagulation abnormalities. Intermuscular vein thromboses were discovered in both lower limbs. However, due to contraindications for anticoagulation therapy because of subarachnoid hemorrhage, an inferior vena cava filter was placed to prevent pulmonary embolism. Symptomatic treatment was provided for obstructive jaundice. The patient’s hemodynamics were stabilized preoperatively, with a hemoglobin level of 96 g/L and nearly normal bilirubin levels.

On arrival at the emergency room, the patient’s level of consciousness was 14 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, blood pressure was 102/74 mmHg, and pulse rate was 103/min. No cardiac murmur was detected, but vesicular breath sounds were moderately diminished in the left lung field. Cardiac enzyme studies were not consistent with a diagnosis of myocardial infarction. An ECG showed a normal sinus rhythm, and no arrhythmias or signs of myocardial ischemia were observed. A chest X-ray revealed massive left pleural effusion with no right pleural effusion, while cardiomegaly and pneumothorax were not identified. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated normally functioning ventricles and valves, and mild pericardial effusion.

In endoscopic surgery , we first observed the two blind ends of the anastomotic stoma through colonoscopy. On the one hand, the COA can be seen at about 8 cm through the anus side of colonoscopy. The closure line showed a fine line scar, and the intestinal wall at the blind end was soft. On the other hand, the colonoscope entered through the ileostomy side to reach the rectal segment. The front of the blind end of the bowel was found to also be truncated and closed with a white linear scar, and a titanium clip was placed at the proximal blind end. The intestinal wall of this blind end was also soft when touched. Second, the distance between the blind ends of both sides of the intestine was 3–4 cm, as measured by fluoroscopy at different positions. Subsequently, the colonoscope re-entered through the anal side. The hook knife (KDL-620LR; Olympus Optical) was used to slowly cut through the scar tissue layer by layer in the center of the blind end of the intestinal canal, and the yellow adipose tissue became visible. The direction of incision was determined to be parallel to the direction of the titanium clip at the proximal blind end, as shown by repeated fluoroscopic observation. The adipose tissue was carefully cut open, and the proximal intestinal muscular layer was still not visible after 4 cm of advance. Third, EUS-FNA (19 Ga, 1.10 mm; Boston Scientific) puncture needle was used to puncture along the direction of the titanium clip under fluoroscopy, and a small amount of contrast agent was injected to observe the flow direction and the visualization of the intestinal canal. The intestine was visualized after the needle touched the titanium clip, and a yellow zebra guide wire was placed after the needle entered the proximal intestine. Finally, colonoscopy was performed through one side of ileostomy to confirm that the guide wire was located in the proximal intestine tube. The dilation tube and balloon (M00558430; Boston Scientific) were inserted over the guide wire, and the incised bowel was gradually dilated to 12 mm under fluoroscopy. Subsequently, a 60 mm * 20 mm self-expandable full-coated metal stent (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) was placed over the guide wire to bridge both sides of the intestine, thereby achieving the repair of anastomotic closure with separation through the endoscopic operation. After completion of the operation, the patency of the stent was checked, no bleeding was found on the wound surface, and the anal canal was retained. Compared with the “drastic” surgical operation, this endoscopic surgery solved the intractable problem of COA with anastomotic separation with a more delicate and subtle operation and with minimal trauma. Endoscopic stent removal was performed on the patient 10 days later. The continuity of the bowel was observed intraoperatively, and an anal tube was placed in the proximal part of the anastomosis to observe the postoperative recovery. +One month later, stenosis was observed at the original anastomotic recanalization site during endoscopic examination, and scar-like hyperplasia was observed in the surrounding tissues. We successfully leaped over the narrow segment through inserting a new self-expandable full-coated metal stent of the same specification, and the stent expanded smoothly . After 1 week, the patient underwent stent removal and came to our hospital for follow-up and reexamination for several times after discharge. The anastomotic stenosis of the patient was gradually relieved. At 1 year after the endoscopic recanalization procedure for COA with anastomotic separation, the patient came to our hospital in June 2020 for ileostomy takedown. No related complications occurred during and after the operation. No obvious abnormality was found in the relevant post-operation laboratory and imaging examinations. +The follow-up situation at 3 months after discharge was as follows. The patient returned to a normal diet from a fluid diet and achieved normal exhaust and defecation. The results of colonoscopy showed that the anastomotic stoma healed well, and no obvious stenosis was found. At the same time, biopsy and pathological examination were carried out on the new tissue of the original anastomotic closure with anastomotic separation. The pathological results indicated that this site was normal intestinal mucosal tissue . Further endoscopic ultrasonography also confirmed the growth of normal intestinal mucosal tissues at the original anastomotic recanalization site . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_779_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_779_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..209073d5c8c4f1db3fb8b1408b806f86b3e29c8f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_779_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +In August 2016, an 85-year-old Iranian male with hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with a history of dysuria, hesitancy, and urinary frequency and was found to have a urea level of 52 mg/dl and creatinine level of 1.95 mg/dl. Further investigations with the suspicion of prostate cancer were done on the patient. The Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 8.9 mg/dl and suggested the possibility of prostate cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test showed the normal size of the prostate gland, but peripheral zone lesions were suggestive of prostate cancer. Prostate Imaging Reporting & Data System (PI-RADS) score was 5 (very suspicious). According to the PI-RADS score, direct biopsy from the lesions was recommended for the peripheral zone. The pathologic study of 12 separate samples from different areas of the prostate revealed unilateral adenocarcinoma with a histologic Gleason score of 8 (4 + 4), the malignant neoplastic proliferation of epithelial cells with a monolayer glandular design, invasion of the neighboring tissues, and desmoplastic reaction in five samples. However, the appearance of the normal texture was reported in other samples. In the whole-body scan, a bony lesion in the mid portion of the left femur was described.

Real-time PCR examination was positive for BCR/ABL P210 fusion gene t (9;22) (q34; q11), which confirmed the CML diagnosis. He started treatment with a TKI, imatinib (400 mg/daily). During the follow-ups, due to severe and symptomatic anemia, generalized edema Erythropoietin (Eprex, Epoetin Alfa®) was prescribed for the patient. Due to the treatment failure with imatinib (400 mg − 2 years), the patient was shifted to nilotinib (300 mg − 3 years), a second-generation TKI. After administration of nilotinib, the patient was not symptomatic. Quantitative BCR-ABL1 was negative, and the patient showed a deep molecular response to treatment. +The patient was followed up for about 5 years. In May 2021, the patient presented with nausea, lethargy, bone pain, weight loss and he had the creatinine level of 4.73 mg/dl, hemoglobin level of 7 g/dl, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate 1st hour level of 104, RBC count of 2.4 × 1012/l and Platelet count of 82 × 109/l which was indicative for anemia and renal failure. However, molecular study (quantitative assessment of BCR-ABL1) was still negative and BCR-ABL1 transcript copy was not detected. Further workup revealed a serum total protein level of 8.8 g/dl, albumin level of 3.3 g/dl, immunoglobulin (Ig) G level of 5295 mg/dl, IgA level of 22 mg/dl, IgM level of 10 mg/dl. Serum protein immunotyping (capillary Electrophoresis) detected monoclonal IgG (kappa), which may describe multiple myeloma. Urine protein electrophoresis showed negative detection of Bence Jones kappa to lambda. After injection of 99 m Tc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP), the whole-body bone scan was done with suspicious of prostate cancer bone metastasis. Thoracolumbar scoliosis, degenerative changes in the knee, shoulders and hips was noted. The bony lesion in the mid portion of the left femur were described. Regarding no changes as compared to the previous scans, these findings were not likely due to bone metastasis. Lumbar MRI did not reveal any bony lytic changes. A bone marrow biopsy revealed that 60% of nucleated cells were immature plasma cells which were suggestive of MM . The Electrodiagnosis (EDX) of the lower limbs showed no SNAPs, reduced CMAPs of bilateral peroneal nerves, and neurogenic pattern on needle EMG. Therefore, the test was abnormal and compatible with chronic sensorimotor distal polyneuropathy with axonal features. We started MP (melphalan and prednisolone) due to his neuropathy.

The patient reported the following history of the present illness. Pain in the left knee joint initially occurred at 1 year and 4 months before admission, without any particular trigger. Her former treating physician had provided conservative treatments such as oral administration of anti-inflammatory analgesics, rehabilitation including quadriceps muscle training, and guidance on the use of a cane to relieve weight bearing. However, this treatment was not successful in relieving her symptoms, and she was referred to our department for surgery. The patient had a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and she had been taking oral candesartan and atorvastatin. The patient was a housewife with no noteworthy aspects related to social, family, or environmental history. On physical examination, the patient had a height of 157 cm, a body weight of 62 kg, and a body mass index of 25.2 kg/m2. She reported feeling pain in the medial joint space of the knee during walking, as well as during climbing or descending stairs. At the time of the first admission, her systolic/diastolic blood pressure was 165/97 mmHg. Table provides an overview of the patient’s pain scores in the knee joint, ROM of the knee joint, and knee joint function. Neurological examination revealed no abnormal findings. Similarly, laboratory findings at the time of the first admission did not indicate any abnormality: total protein 7.3 g/dl, albumin 4.6 g/dl, aspartate aminotransferase 22 U/L, alanine aminotransferase 18 U/L, lactate dehydrogenase 213 U/L, alkaline phosphatase 297 U/L, γ-glutamyl transferase 18 U/L, total bilirubin 0.6 mg/dl, Na 142 mEq/L, Cl 104 mEq/L, K 4.5 mEq/L, blood urea nitrogen 21.4 mg/dl, creatinine 0.56 mg/dl, Ca 9.7 mg/dl, inorganic phosphorus 3.7 mg/dl, leukocytes 5100/μl, erythrocytes 5.00 × 106/μl, hemoglobin 14.4 g/dl, hematocrit 43.6%, and platelets 263 × 103/μl. +The HAL-SJ treatment program was divided into five phases . Phase 1 consisted of preoperative observation from the day of hospital admission until the day of surgery. The patient’s thigh circumference and lower leg length were measured preoperatively to adjust the HAL-SJ to the patient’s physical size, which would ensure appropriate training. We palpated the patient’s quadriceps muscles (vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and vastus lateralis) and attached electrodes to each muscle to detect the bioelectric potentials of the long axis along the belly of each muscle. We instructed the patient to perform knee extension and to contract her quadriceps. On the basis of these data, we instructed the patient to simulate the knee extension training, which would be performed postoperatively. Specifically, the patient sat with her lower leg hanging down naturally, and the height of the chair was adjusted so that the patient’s feet were not in contact with the floor. The patient performed ten knee extensions with HAL-SJ assistance, using the muscle that exhibited the largest bioelectric potential amplitude. +Phase 2 involved surgery (day of surgery). The patient underwent OWHTO using TomoFix (DePuy Synthes, Bettlach, Switzerland), artificial bone (OSferion60, β-tricalcium phosphate; Olympus Terumo Biomaterials, Tokyo, Japan), and biplanar osteotomy, as described by Takeuchi et al. . The preoperative weight-bearing line (WBL) percentage , calculated on the basis of an anteroposterior weight-bearing radiograph of the affected leg in full knee extension, was 29.6%. The surgery was planned with a target postoperative WBL percentage of 62.5%. The actual enlarged angle and distance of osteotomy were 5.5 degrees and 7 mm, respectively. +Phase 3 consisted of postoperative observation from day 1 to day 7 postoperatively. For postoperative rehabilitation, partial weight bearing was allowed after a non-weight-bearing period of 2 weeks, and full weight bearing began at 4 weeks postoperatively. The patient received rehabilitation training under the guidance of a physical therapist (ROM exercises and muscle-strengthening training) for 20–40 minutes each day, 5 days per week, from the first postoperative day until discharge. For ROM exercises, continuous passive motion training began on the first postoperative day for 1 hour per day and continued every day until discharge. On postoperative day 7, we attached electrodes to the quadriceps muscle to detect the bioelectric potential along the long axis of the rectus femoris muscle belly . Then, the patient was instructed to perform active knee extension exercises that involved contracting her quadriceps, thus simulating training with HAL-SJ . +Phase 4 consisted of HAL-SJ therapy from postoperative day 8 to discharge. The CVC mode of HAL-SJ serves to support the patient’s voluntary motion on the basis of voluntary muscle activity and the assistive torque provided to the knee joint . In this study, we used the CVC mode, which allowed the operator to adjust the degree of physical support to maintain the patient’s comfort while gradually reducing support as training progressed. In addition to the regular rehabilitation program , the patient performed HAL-JS-assisted knee extension exercises while sitting, which consisted of five sets of ten repetitions per set, twice per week . The training was performed six times before the patient was discharged (postoperative days 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, and 24). The mean training duration, including the time required to put on the HAL-SJ, was 15.5 ± 1.4 minutes (15 minutes, 16 minutes, 17 minutes, 16 minutes, 13 minutes, and 16 minutes during training sessions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively). There were no adverse events related to the use of HAL-SJ, and the patient was discharged 30 days after the surgery. +Phase 5 consisted of post-HAL-SJ therapy observation from discharge until 3 months after the end of HAL-SJ therapy, during which the following indicators were assessed: EL, assessed as the difference between the maximum knee joint extension angle during passive exercise and that during active exercise; knee pain rated on the visual analogue scale (VAS); isometric knee extension muscle strength (IKEMS); active ROM before surgery, before and after HAL-SJ training, and at 1 and 3 months after the end of training; and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score before surgery, at discharge, and at 1 and 3 months after the end of training. Furthermore, we used lateral radiographs to measure the tibial slope angle (TSA) and Insall-Salvati ratio (ISR) as indicators of patellar tendon shortening before surgery and after implant removal at 1 year after the operation . Measurement of knee ROM was performed using goniometry, and the landmarks used in the measurements were the greater trochanter of the femur, proximal head of the fibula, and lateral malleolus. Goniometry was used because it has been reported that goniometric measurements of ROM are more reliable than visual observation, with an accuracy of up to 1.0 degree . The maximal IKEMS of the operated leg was assessed with the patient in a sitting position, with the hips and knees flexed at 90 degrees. A μTas F-1 handheld dynamometer (Anima Corp., Tokyo, Japan) was fixed to the chair, and two measurements were recorded. Each trial lasted 3–5 seconds, with 30 seconds of rest between trials. The higher score of two valid trials was recorded. All measurements were performed by a single trained physical therapist to eliminate interobserver variability. The EL, VAS, IKEMS, and ROM results are shown in Table . The EL improved from 3 degrees preoperatively to 0 degrees at the end of the sixth HAL-SJ training session, but it returned to 3 degrees at 1 and 3 months after the end of the training. When we compared results obtained before training against those obtained after each of the six training sessions, we observed that three sessions produced improved EL and three sessions produced improved or relatively constant VAS scores immediately after training. However, for the other three sessions, the patient reported increased pain immediately after training, with the greatest increase in pain reported immediately after the first HAL-SJ training session, when the VAS score was 1.7 times higher immediately after training than before training. The EL improved after training sessions 1 and 3, when the patient reported increased knee pain (expressed as the VAS score). However, the EL did not change after training sessions 2 and 4, when the patient reported less knee pain (improved VAS score immediately after training). The patient did not refuse to undergo training because of increased pain. The IKEMS value was the largest preoperatively (17.6 kgf) and decreased to its lowest value (30% of the preoperative strength) before the first HAL-SJ intervention at 8 days after the operation. The IKEMS remained relatively constant throughout HAL-SJ training but recovered to the preoperative value during follow-up (18.7 and 16.6 kgf at 1 and 3 months, respectively, after completion of HAL-SJ training). The active ROM also recovered to the preoperative value by the end of the sixth HAL-SJ training session. Thereafter, the extension ROM did not change, but the flexion ROM was maintained or improved. The JOA score decreased from 60 points preoperatively to 55 points at discharge, but it improved with time, reaching 65 and 85 points at 1 and 3 months, respectively, after the end of HAL-SJ training. Whereas the TSA was maintained at 13.1 degrees before and after the surgery, the ISR decreased from 1.13 preoperatively to 0.97 postoperatively. At 6 months after surgery, the passive ROM was 0–135 degrees, and the JOA score was 90 points. There were no complications throughout the preparation, surgery, or rehabilitation process. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_78_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_78_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..496a6056f102c5d3a80d46805e5aa3d85b1382a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_78_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +A 59-year-old man, farmer, living in a rural area of Cartagena, ​​Colombia (elevation 17 m / 55.77 ft above sea level) was initially admitted to a peripheral hospital for decompensated heart failure.

The patient's history included LT for cirrhosis two years ago and postoperative use of tacrolimus (2 tablets bid), Mycophenolate Mofetil (3 tablets bid), and sirolimus (1 tablet qd) to control immune-rejection with good results. The patient had recurrent diarrhea 20 days ago after an unclean diet, with symptoms of loose yellow stools with mucus 6–8 times a day, and did not improve after taking "berberine hydrochloride". Ten days ago, the patient's symptoms worsened, and he relieved dark green stools more than ten times a day, and gradually developed symptoms such as thirst, profoundly sunken eye sockets, palpitations and dyspnea. The patient's examination at the local hospital showed a white blood cell (WBC) count of 15. 61 × 109/L, a significant decrease in potassium ions (2. 45 mmol/L), and a significant increase in creatinine level (337 umol/L). As a result, the local hospital discontinued the patient's immunosuppressive drugs and treated diarrhea and intestinal infections with Meropenem and Montmorillonite, but the results were poor. Because the patient developed symptoms such as dyspnea and oliguria, he was diagnosed with septic shock. However, after treatment with a ventilator and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), diarrhea and infection were not effectively controlled, and the symptoms worsened. As a result, the patient was transferred to the Department of Intensive Care Unit of West China Hospital. +The patient was admitted with ventilator-assisted ventilation. A femoral vein placement tube for CRRT used outside the hospital was found at the root of the thigh. Patient's general condition on admission : temperature 38. 4 °C; pulse 130 beats/min; respiratory rate: 18 breaths/min; blood pressure 100/67 mmHg (on norepinephrine 0. 4ug/kg/min). The patient had a small number of wet rales on lung auscultation, an oxygenation index (PO2/FIO2) of approximately 110, and no significant abnormalities on abdominal examination. The patient's laboratory findings showed a significant systemic inflammatory response, renal impairment and immunosuppressive state. Inflammatory indexes: white blood cell count 19. 21 × 109/L; neutrophil ratio 92. 7%; CRP: 190 mg/L; interleukin 6: 336 pg/L, PCT: 3. 32 ng/L; abnormal biochemical indexes: creatinine 170umol/L; potassium: 5. 23 mmol/L; immune function: lymphocyte count: 0. 45 × 109/L. The patient's abdominal CT suggested a high amount of colorectal gas stool and a dilated bowel. +Based on the patient's admission examination and the external medical records, we initially determined that the patient was in septic shock caused by infectious diarrhea with abdominal and pulmonary infections and multiorgan functional impairment. The patient was then admitted to our hospital and immediately given imipenem cystatin 1 g q8h and voriconazole 0. 2 g q12h for anti-infection. The patient's immunosuppressive drugs continued to be stopped. The patient's routine stool test was sent to identify the pathogen causing the diarrhea, but no meaningful results were obtained. On the second day, the patient's blood culture suggested Gram-positive coccus infection and chest CT suggested fungal infection. We added amphotericin B 10 mg bid and tigecycline 100 mg q12h to strengthen the anti-infection. By day 5, the patient's temperature peak was gradually reduced, and the oxygenation index rose to approximately 300. We reduced the dose of paroxysmal sedative medication discontinue the ventilator and transfer it out of the intensive care unit. As the patient's lymphocyte count rose to 1. 58 × 109/L, we reintroduced him to Mycophenolate Mofetil 500 mg bid to suppress the patient's immune function. +On day 7, the patient again developed massive watery diarrhea and unstable blood pressure, a decrease in oxygenation index(PO2/FIO2) to 200, increased inflammatory markers, and abnormal liver function. We considered a drug-related liver injury and parasite-associated diarrhea. So we stopped the patient's enteral nutrition, added antidiarrhea (minocycline hydrochloride) and hepatoprotective drugs (polyene phosphatidylcholine) and adjusted the antibiotic regimen to ceftazidime avibactam (2. 5 g q12h), amantadine (1000 mg q8h), voriconazole (0. 1 g q12h) and mucilage sulfate (750, 000u q12h). To clarify the aetiology of the patient's diarrhea, we performed a gastroscopy on day 8. The stereoscopic presentation was : segmental mucosal changes in the cecum department and ascending colon, suspicious of specific infections. Because the patient's multiple stool tests were negative, we considered atypical pathogenic infections. Therefore, we stained the patient's stool specimen with antacid and performed high-throughput sequencing (NGS) on the blood specimen. After two days, a large number of Cryptosporidium was detected in the patient's stool . NGS detection of Cryptosporidium parvum sequence number 33 with the specific information that NGS detection covers a total length of 2951 (bp) on the genome with coverage of 0. 0332% and an average depth of 1. 00X, suggesting the presence of large amounts of Cryptosporidium in the blood of this patients . Furthermore, we immediately discontinued Mycophenolate Mofetil and looked for an anti-Cryptosporidium infection treatment option. According to previous reports, Cryptosporidium infection is frequently seen in children with primary immunodeficiency. Cryptosporidium infection causes symptoms such as sclerosing cholangitis and pulmonary Cryptosporidium infection in children with immunodeficiency. There was a high degree of similarity to the present case regarding both symptoms and findings. In a case report of a CD40L-deficient infant diagnosed with Cryptosporidium infection, after treatment with nitazoxanide and azithromycine, the patient was doing well, this report served as an important reminder for our treatment, and we immediately reviewed the instructions for NTZ [, ]. NTZ is the only approved anti-Cryptosporidium drug on the market. Because NTZ is not recommended in the instructions for use in an immunodeficient population, we used an anti-Cryptosporidium regimen of oral azithromycin (1000 mg tid) and alliin (500 mg tid). Five days after that, the patient showed a slight improvement in diarrhea, but liver and kidney function continued to deteriorate, and we administered continuous CRRT. On day 18, as the patient's glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase continued to rise, we considered Cryptosporidium retrograde biliary infection. To prevent the development of sclerosing cholangitis and immunorejection, we changed the anti-Cryptosporidium infection regimen to NTZ (500 mg tid) and allicin (500 mg tid) while continuously monitoring the patient's immune function and using cyclosporine to suppress immune function if necessary to keep CD4 + T cells were controlled at 100–300/mm3. The treatment plan had a good effect. The number of diarrhea gradually decreased, liver and kidney function gradually recovered, CRRT was stopped on day 22, and the patient was taken off the ventilator on day 23. On days 24 and 25, the patient underwent faecal antacid staining, and no Cryptosporidium was found. On day 28, the patient was transferred to the general ward and recovered well with his family. As the patient's renal function is severely compromised, we recommend that patients regularly review their renal function and pay attention to preventing infection from avoiding progression to the stage of renal failure. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_803_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_803_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cd5a1ee1756bbe40cd6eba4cb26531fdf8199ec4 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_803_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 48-year-old man was referred to our emergency room with a 10-day history of progressive dyspnea, non-productive cough and fever.

In 2006, she was diagnosed with symptomatic idiopathic VPB (burden: 33%/24 h). The VPBs were isolated and monomorphic without any repetitive forms. shows a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with a representative VPB characterized by an inferior axis, a left bundle branch block (LBBB) morphology, and R/s transition in V4 suggestive of a triggered activity from the RVOT. The patient was treated with a beta-blocker (name and dosage unknown) as well as magnesium without any improvement. Cardiovascular examination was within normal limit. A successful ablation was performed on the septal aspect of the RVOT without a 3D navigation system. Thirty-four radiofrequency (RF) lesions were delivered at a power between 25 and 30 W with an irrigated catheter (non-nav D-Curve Thermocool catheter, Biosense Webster). No pericarditis was mentioned following the intervention. The patient did not have any complaint until 2008 when she noticed recurrence of isolated palpitations. The palpitations and near syncope in 2016 correlated with frequent non-sustained VT (NSVT) from the RVOT as reconstructed from the three-lead Holter recording (MicroPort, Synescope, MultiChannel-MultiDay Version 3.10) . The early transition in lead V2 is probably due to some inaccuracy of the reconstructed ECG, which is based on the Dower’s transform. This Matrix uses the X, Y, Z signals obtained from the Frank lead system to simulate a standard 12-lead ECG with some inherent inaccuracy. The VPB burden was 3% on the Holter recording. The patient remained symptomatic despite the prescription of metoprolol 25 mg daily. On physical examination, the patient was well-groomed. Cardiopulmonary auscultation was within normal limit. There was no sign of heart failure. A transthoracic echocardiography was within normal limit. A coronary angiogram did not show significant lesions . Suspecting an arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) or an inflammatory cardiomyopathy, the patient underwent a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) and a metabolic 18FDG-PET scan which were normal. A 2nd ablation was then undertaken including endomyocardial biopsies, which are part of a standardized workup at our centre to discriminate between myocarditis and ACM. The tissue was harvested from the interventricular septum without any electroanatomical mapping guidance, as previously described by Rosset et al. Results showed normal immunofluorescence signals for Cadherin, Connexin 43, Desmoplakin, Plakoglobin, and Plakophilin proteins that reasonably ruled out ACM . Under local anaesthesia, an endocardial electroanatomical mapping (Carto 3 System, Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, CA, USA) revealed an area of low voltage (<0.5 mV) at the septal aspect of the RVOT corresponding to the site of ablation performed in 2006. Despite isoproterenol infusion, only a single run of NSVT was triggered which was enough to confirm by pace-mapping that the scar area of the septal RVOT was involved in the arrhythmic event. shows the NSVT run during the electrophysiology study. The morphology showed an inferior axis, an LBBB morphology, and an R/s transition in V3 that was perfectly reproduced by pace-mapping at the septal RVOT within the scar region. Because of the absence of early potentials in the RVOT, the left ventricle outflow tract and the right coronary cusp were mapped and, as shown by the poor pacemap matching in , did not participate into the arrhythmia. Ablation was delivered at the focal scar region using a temperature control system and an irrigated catheter (Thermocool, SmartTouch, target temperature 43°C, maximal power 30 W). Post-procedure, rare VPB were seen at baseline and under isoproterenol infusion. One week after discharge, because of recurrence of symptomatic NSVT, an epicardial ablation was planned. A dry pericardial puncture under fluoroscopy guidance was performed with a dedicated needle (Becton Dickinson AG, reference 408360). A pigtail was inserted followed by a short steerable guiding sheath (EPI-Agilis, Abbott). After the puncture, 20 mL of serous liquid were drained and sent to the cytology lab (which result showed only few atypical cells). shows the epicardial voltage map (Carto 3D, Biosense Webster) reconstructed with a decapolar catheter (DecaNav, 2-8-2, Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, CA, USA). The map revealed a localized region of low voltage at the antero-septal aspect of the epicardial RVOT including fragmented potentials and late abnormal ventricular activities (LAVA) facing the scar at the antero-basal aspect of the endocardial RVOT shown in . Importantly, pace-mapping at this location showed a perfect match . A programmed ventricular stimulation with two extrastimuli initiated a non-sustained run matching the clinical VT. The VT started with a narrow QRS followed by a subsequent widening of the QRS (pseudo-delta wave) suggestive of an endocardial activation followed by an epicardial exit . shows mid-diastolic potentials (MDP) within this region. The MDP was very suggestive of an area of slow conduction. Neither entrainment manoeuvers nor sequential mapping could be performed as the VT remained non-sustained despite increasing dose of i.v. Isoproterenol. However, pacing from the MDP site reproduced the clinical VT morphology . The MDP to QRS interval and the stimulation to QRS interval were of similar values (46 ms). This implies that an area of slow conduction or an isthmus was involved in the maintenance of the VT, suggesting that the mechanism was likely a re-entrant VT rather than a focal triggered activity. Endocardial mapping of the septal RVOT facing this area showed LAVA of very low amplitude. Prior to RF ablation, a coronary angiogram was performed with merging of the images into the Carto (Carto Uniview) and confirmed that the area of interest was not in the vicinity of a coronary vessel. Radiofrequency ablation was applied with an irrigated catheter (Thermocool SmartTouch SF, Biosense Webster) epicardially and endocardially thereafter without any complication. Aggressive premature ventricular stimulation including burst pacing (up to five ventricular extrastimuli, shortest coupling intervals at 240 ms) at baseline and under isoproterenol infusion (12 mcg/min) and adrenaline bolus (10 mcg) showed the absence of susceptibility to VT and VPB. The procedure lasted 190 min (9.8 min fluoroscopy time) and included 18 RF lesions (irrigation 8 mL/min in the epicardium, power 25–30 W, total energy 12 884 J). The patient stayed 48 h in our cardiac care unit where a transthoracic echocardiogram excluded a pericardial effusion. She was discharged with a wearable defibrillator vest for 1 month.

However, given the possibility of other infections occurring postoperatively, aqueous humour and anterior chamber pus from the operated eye were collected for metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) test. Total genomic DNA was extracted using a nucleic acid extraction kit, then fragmented to 200 bp and used to build a library with end-repaired, adapter-ligation, and polymerase chain reaction amplification. The prepared library was sequenced on the MGISEQ-2000 sequencing platform (MGI, China).

She had a history of multiple primary cancers and had undergone several surgeries: mastectomy for metachronous bilateral breast cancer (right at age 49, left at age 66), pulmonary resection (right S9 wedge resection and left S3a segmentectomy at age 56) for simultaneous bilateral lung cancer, and left nephrectomy for left renal cancer at age 65. She also underwent surgery for melanoma of the right finger at the age of 66. Chest computed tomography (CT) performed as a periodic examination 10 years after the surgery for renal cancer revealed a calcified nodule in the right PA . The calcified nodule showed slow enlargement over the previous two years, retrospectively and was 25 mm in diameter, located just peripheral of the superior trunk of the right PA and the beginning of the A6 branch. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (FDG PET/CT) showed that the calcified area of the nodule did not take up FDG, but the area of soft tissue density on CT showed uptake with a maximum standardized uptake value max of 2.16 . Preoperative echocardiography revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) with P2 prolapse and moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) with an ejection fraction of 81%. Regarding laboratory data, the creatinine level was 1.22 mg/dl, and tumor marker levels were unremarkable (Carcinoembryonic Antigen: 2.0 ng/ml, cytokeratin 19 fragment: 2.9 ng/ml, pro-gastrin-releasing peptide: 72.4 pg/ml). +We planned a 2-staged surgery preceded by valvular surgery under total extracorporeal circulation. The cardiovascular surgeons performed mitral and tricuspid valvuloplasty through a median sternotomy (operative time, 422 min; extracorporeal circulation time, 257 min). During the initial surgery, we encircled the superior vena cava (SVC) at the most central site in the pericardial sac. We opened the right mediastinal pleura and confirmed the presence of the nodule in the right PA by palpation and judged that it was difficult to reconstruct the PA, especially on the peripheral side of the PA, through a median sternotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. Her exertional dyspnea improved three months after surgery, and the echocardiography showed no regurgitation. +Therefore, a second surgery was performed. Following posterolateral thoracotomy at the fifth intercostal space, a right upper lobectomy was performed. The tumor was identified as a stony hard mass in the right PA. To clamp the right main PA, we tried to dissect apart the SVC and the right main PA and also tried to approach the right main PA for encircling from the space between the SVC and the aorta. However, severe adhesions obstructed dissection. Although the surgical margins appeared to be insufficient, we were able to grasp the mass manually. Therefore, we decided to place a vascular clamp forceps on the center of the mass, as centrally as possible. After introducing heparin with an activating clotting time of 200–250 s, the right main PA, middle pulmonary vein, and inferior pulmonary vein were clamped. When we opened the middle PA trunk using Metzenbaum scissors, a white stony mass that did not adhere to the artery wall on the mediastinal side was removed with the adherent PA wall. On the central side of the mass, the soft tissue contiguous to the mass was trapped by vascular clamp forceps. Because we could not loosen the forceps, the pinched tissue was separated, and the tumor was removed. The defect in the right main PA was reconstructed with bovine pericardium (Additional file : Video S1). The operative time was 404 min, with a blood loss of 940 ml. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 16. +Histopathological examination of the tumor revealed that the pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma consisted of three components: osteosarcoma components, chondrocyte components, and spindle cell components . +Three months after the second operation, FDG PET/CT revealed a hypodense lesion without calcification in the right chest wall . CT-guided biopsy revealed PAS recurrence. FDG PET revealed another slight accumulation in the right PA in the central region of the PA reconstruction. Genomic analysis using the FoundationOne® companion diagnostic revealed a low-tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite stable, and the loss of the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene (MTAP loss). According to a multidisciplinary conference, proton therapy was administered only to the chest wall lesion, and short-interval observation was determined for the lesion of the right PA because it was difficult to distinguish reactive accumulation associated with PA reconstruction from local recurrence. Two months after proton therapy, CT revealed a low-density lesion in the PA, indicating local recurrence . She received a second proton therapy for local recurrence and is alive independently with stable disease 25 months after tumor removal. At home, she maintains almost the same level of daily life activities as before the two surgeries with doing housework. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_821_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_821_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f3030ede79d33a0ac1e6dd295d3c1218728bf35e --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_821_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +The patient is a 22-month-old Caucasian boy, born at 36 weeks by spontaneous vaginal delivery with normal prenatal care.

At the beginning of the treatment, intravenous ceftriaxone (80 mg/kg) was prescribed to treat the infection and to suppress coughing and phlegm with airway management. His body temperature dropped to normal within 24 h, which suggested the antibiotic was effective. On the day of admission, the emergency reports showed electrolyte values with “blood potassium 1.7 mmol/L” and “blood magnesium 0.59 mmol/L”. First, we considered the possibility of electrolyte imbalance secondary to pneumonia; thus, oral and intravenous potassium supplementation (4–5 g/day) were prescribed along with injection of magnesium sulphate and rehydration treatment. Regular review of electrolytes showed that blood potassium gradually increased to 3.1 mmol/L within 2–3 days; however, the result could not be sustained, and it was difficult to make it continue to rise. From further questioning of the child’s medical history according to the parents, it was learned that the child had long-term “sleepiness,” “drowsiness” and other symptoms accompanied by enuresis (3–4 times/week) and severe night sweats (parents described it as “like a shower”); he was also slightly light in weight. All of the above could have been due to possible chronic potassium loss. With persistent hypokalaemia and hypomagnesemia observed in the clinical stay, his urinary potassium excretion increased, and his urinary calcium was normal. The blood biochemical analysis showed that the PH and HCO3- were high. His blood pressure was normal, but plasma renin activity and angiotensin were high. The aldosterone levels were normal, and the clinical consideration of “Gitelman syndrome” was likely. Further second-generation gene analysis (KingMed Diagnostics) (see Figs. and for details) detected two heterozygous mutations (SLC12A3 (16q13/NM-000339.2)): exon number Exon12, cDNA level 1456G > A, protein level Asp486Asn, considering that the disease gene was derived from the mother; and exon No. Intron12, cDNA level 602-16G > A, protein levels were normal, considering a suspicious pathogenicity derived from the father. With the Gitelman syndrome diagnosis having been established, long-term oral potassium citrate granules were prescribed to be taken for 1 year. Blood potassium levels were stable between 3.1–3.5 mmol/L, and the PR intervals were between 0.17–0.2 cm. Growth and development were normal, and the enuresis disappeared, but the night sweats still persisted. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_85_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_85_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..816d5369b31bc4b1ff75192efa94e5cb0a056e7e --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_85_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +A 14-year-old Chinese Malaysian boy presented to University Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur in September 2013 with history of recurrent pneumonia, poor growth and steatorrhoea since childhood.

During a follow-up visit in December 2013, he had a productive cough but was apyrexic. He was empirically treated with oral ciprofloxacin (750 mg BD) and the sputum sample later isolated B.pseudomallei. As he clinically improved, the treatment regimen remained unchanged. Subsequently, the repeat sputum samples were negative for B.pseudomallei and he continued to remain active with good exercise tolerance and relatively stable lung function.

A bronchoscopy was performed and Burkholderia cepacia was isolated from his bronchoalveoloar lavage specimen, while acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear was weakly positive. Initially, the patient was treated with intravenous imipenem and ceftazidime for 3 weeks but had recurrence of fever. However, the sputum AFB smears remained positive although the suspected nontuberculous mycobacterium could not be isolated despite various culturing techniques. Therefore, the antibiotics were changed to intravenous meropenem, doxycycline, amikacin and oral clarithromycin to treat both the B.cepacia and the suspected nontuberculous mycobacterium. +Upon discharge, he had been continuing with amoxicillin-clavulanate and doxycycline for 6 months, which helped with weight gain and secretion reduction. Repeat AFB smear remained negative for the subsequent 5 months. However, in January 2016, further decline in his lung function was observed with worsening respiratory symptoms. A chest computed tomography showed worsening bronchiectasis, tree in bud appearance in the lung peripheries, patchy consolidation and several enlarged lymph nodes at the right paratracheal region . His sputum sample grew P.aeruginosa and was also strongly positive for AFB. Intravenous meropenem and ceftazidime (for P.aeruginosa) and combination therapy of rifampicin, ethambutol, azithromycin and nebulized amikacin (for nontuberculous mycobacterium) was started. He improved clinically and was discharged with the above oral medications for 6 months. +B.pseudomallei was isolated once again in April 2016 and he was treated with intravenous amoxicillin-clavulanate and ceftazidime for 3 weeks. He was then discharged with 6 months of oral amoxicillin-clavulanate. However, in May 2016, his antibiotics were changed to levofloxacin (750 mg) and clarithromycin (500 mg).

The procedure involved the use of a 36 mm Edwards Physio annuloplasty ring (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA). Three months ago, the patient was admitted to our department with fatigue, chest tightness, and exertional dyspnea (New York Heart Association functional class IV). Echocardiography showed recurrent severe MR (volume = 36.0 mL; Vmax = 167 cm/s), and maximum transvalvular gradients were 13 mmHg. The left ventricle was dilated and showed a systolic ejection fraction of 46%. +A multidisciplinary cardiac team performed a meticulous evaluation of his transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) scans and computed tomography angiography scans and obtained the informed consent after having discussed all available treatment methods. Since the patient was highly symptomatic and at very high risk of secondary thoracotomy surgery, it was decided to perform the TMViR due to the possibility of the need for a high-risk surgical reoperation (based on Society of Thoracic Surgery score, 11.192%; European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation Score II, 8.3%) (A–E). Meanwhile, a patient-specific3D-printed model was created using computed tomography angiography data. The image data, in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine format, were collected and processed using Materialise Mimics 21.0 software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). The software was used to segment the images and export them in the Standard Tessellation Language (STL) format. Post-processing of the STL files was performed using Materialise 3-Matic software (Leuven, Belgium, version 14.0). The final STL files were then imported into a Polyjet 850 multimaterial full-color 3D printer (Stratasys, Inc., Eden Prairie, MN, USA). The printer utilized materials with different flexibilities to accurately represent the structural characteristics of different parts, such as the annuloplasty ring and myocardial tissue (F–H). Then, the procedures were simulated during the bench test. After its release, the unfolded bioprosthetic valve was observed clearly. The information obtained was used to evaluate and prognosticate major perioperative complications. Because the area of a 36 mm Physio ring was 7.0 cm2, and in addition, because the ring was D-shaped and semirigid and had a high risk of complications for the transcatheter aortic valve-in-ring concept, we decided to implant the Mi-thos system (I) via a transapical approach. +The procedure was conducted with the patient under general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. Intraoperative guidance was provided using fluoroscopic images and TEE. A 4 cm left anterior mini-thoracotomy incision was made to access the puncture point at the apex of the left ventricle. Puncture and cannulation were carried out using 6F sheaths on both the right femoral artery and vein. Subsequently, a temporary pacemaker electrode was carefully inserted into the right ventricle through the vein sheath. At the same time, a 6F pigtail catheter was advanced from the right femoral artery to the left ventricle. We successfully obtained standard apical access and secured the entry site using a hexagonal suture. To optimize visibility of both the left ventricle and atrium, we made adjustments to achieve a cranial right-anterior-oblique angulation. Ventriculograms were performed to evaluate the MR and to assess the shape of the left ventricle and the mitral annuloplasty ring. Based on the preoperative assessment and simulation conducted using the patient-specific3D-printed model (A–C), the assembly of a 33 mm Mi-thos bioprosthesis onto the delivery system was performed in vitro. To begin the procedure, an apical puncture was made, and a 6 Fr sheath was inserted. A 6F pigtail catheter, along with a J-tipped 0.035-inch guide wire, was then guided across the mitral surgical ring and into the left atrium. Following this, a 260 cm Lunderquist super stiff wire (Cook Medical Inc., Bloomington, IN, USA) was then used for exchange. The delivery system was inserted over the Lunderquist guide wire and advanced in a retrograde manner across the mitral annuloplasty ring via the transapical approach, ultimately reaching the left atrium. By retracting the outer sheath of the delivery system, the atrial skirt, which was specifically designed to fit the D-shaped mitral annulus, was released. It completely covered the mitral annulus and the annuloplasty ring, guided by TEE and fluoroscopy, while the ventricular portion of the device remained partially confined to the sheath. After confirming the position and alignment of the Mi-thos valve, the entire system was retracted and properly seated on the mitral annuloplasty ring. Subsequently, under rapid pacing at a rate of 140 per minute, the ventricular portion of the bioprosthesis was released and securely anchored to the native MV using secure barbs. +Immediately ventriculograms confirmed the excellent position and shape of the Mi-thos valve, with no evidence of transvalvular regurgitation, paravalvular leak (PVL), or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) (the area of the neo-left ventricular outflow tract was 374.6 cm2). The valve’s position and function were further assessed using TEE, which indicated a mean pressure gradient of 3 mmHg (D–I, ). Subsequently, the delivery system was carefully removed through the apex incision, and hemostasis was achieved using the apical strings that were previously placed. After closing the incision, the patient was successfully weaned off the ventilator and transferred to the cardiac intensive care unit. The postoperative recovery was smooth, and the patient was discharged in good clinical condition 5 days after the operation. At the time of discharge, the transthoracic echocardiogram examination confirmed the excellent position and function of the valve. Additionally, there was no evidence of any significant transvalvular or paravalvular regurgitation, as well as no LVOTO, and the maximum and mean gradients were measured at 6 mmHg and 2 mmHg, respectively.

An 8-Fr guide catheter and 6-Fr distal access catheter were introduced into the left ICA, along with microcatheters for stenting (Headway 21, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) and coil embolization (SL-10, Stryker, US). An LVIS stent (3.5 mm × 17 mm; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) was deployed from the MCA proximal to the ICA with 25% shortening to enhance metal coverage ratio. using the push technique . Intra-aneurysmal flow stagnation was seen after stent deployment, and coil embolization was subsequently performed by tightly packing the aneurysm with hydrogel coils over 50% coil length (Hydrocoil, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan). Complete obliteration of the aneurysm was confirmed after the procedure without a change in MEP. This stent-assisted jam-packed coil embolization technique, shortening of braided stent to enhance metal coverage ratio of the neck and tightly-packing coil embolization using hydrogel coils, can immediately block blood flow into the aneurysm. +Postoperative diffusion-weighted imaging showed no new ischemic lesions and no new neurological symptoms. In addition, his preexisting symptoms were alleviated and he was subsequently discharged. 3 months after the treatment, his symptoms had completely recovered and DSA showed complete obliteration of the aneurysm and stent endothelialization.

She complained of motor weakness in the right hemisphere, which had appeared 4 months before. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to rule out the presence of any intracranial lesions. Chronic lacunae infraction of the left corona radiata was detected on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. The lacunae infraction of the left corona radiata was considered a cause of her right motor weakness. No edematous changes were found in the infratentorial or supratentorial regions. However, magnetic resonance angiography revealed a vascular lesion . Vascular lesions were also found below the cerebellar tentorium on constructive interference in steady-state images . Cerebral angiography was performed as an arteriovenous shunt was suspected. A right external cerebral angiogram showed an arteriovenous shunt supplied by the mastoid branch of the occipital artery. A selective angiogram of the mastoid branch of the occipital artery revealed that the arteriovenous shunt was fed by the PMA. The arteriovenous shunt showed two draining patterns, travelling through the superior vermian vein to the petrosal vein and superior petrosal sinus and through the inferior hemispheric vein, inferior hemispheric vein, and tentorial sinus [ and ]. The left occipital angiogram showed an arteriovenous shunt fed by the left PMA [ and ]. On maximum intensity projection images, the shunting point was located beneath the cerebellar tentorium, and the drainer ran through the tentorial sinus into the transverse sinus . The internal carotid angiogram revealed no apparent feeders. The bilateral posterior cerebral arteries were of a fetal type. The straight sinus flow was anterograde. The left vertebral angiogram revealed no feeders. Venous congestion was suspected on the venous phase of the left vertebral angiogram. No retrograde flow of the basal vein of Rosenthal was observed [-]. Based on the findings of cerebral angiography, the arteriovenous shunt was diagnosed as TDAVF fed by the bilateral PMAs draining into the straight sinus with retrograde venous flow (Borden type III, Cognard type III). Transarterial endovascular surgery was planned to prevent hemorrhagic events associated with TDAVF. +Under general anesthesia, two Envoy 5F 90 cm MPD (Codman Neuro, Raynham, MA, USA) were introduced in the bilateral occipital artery. The mastoid branch of the left occipital artery was selected with a Masters HF 2.8-Fr/3.2-Fr 125 cm (ASAHI INTECC J-Sales, CO., LTD, Tokyo, Japan) and a Traxcess 14 0.012/0.014 200 cm (Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The Masters HF 2.8-Fr/3.2-Fr 125 cm was placed at the mastoid foramen. Using an ASAHI CHIKAI 0.014 200 cm (ASAHI INTECC J-Sales, CO., LTD, Tokyo, Japan) and a Traxcess 14 0.012/0.014 200 cm, another Masters HF 2.8-Fr/3.2-Fr 125 cm was introduced through the mastoid branch of the right occipital artery to the right PMA. As the left PMA was quite tortuous compared to the right PMA, we considered that a transarterial embolization approached from the right PMA was the easiest course of action. From the right Masters HF 2.8-Fr/3.2-Fr 125 cm, a Carnelian MARVEL® 1.6/1.8-Fr 155 cm (Tokai Medical Products Inc.) was introduced near the shunting point with an ASAHI CHIKAI 0.008 200 cm (ASAHI INTECC J-Sales, CO., LTD, Tokyo, Japan) . A Carnelian MARVEL® 1.6/1.8-Fr 155 cm was also placed in the left PMA to inject the contrast medium intraoperatively. The inner lumen of the right Carnelian MARVEL® 1.6/1.8-Fr 155 cm was filled with 5% glucose solution, after which heated 20% n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) was injected from the right Carnelian MARVEL® 1.6/1.8-Fr 155 cm. After NBCA reached the drainer with an injection volume of 0.3 mL, the right Carnelian MARVEL® 1.6/1.8-Fr 155 cm was removed. NBCA migrated partially to the left transverse sinus, left inferior hemispheric vein, and left petrosal vein [ and ]. The right and left occipital angiogram revealed the disappearance of the shunt [-], which was also confirmed by cone beam computed tomography using a half-diluted contrast agent. NBCA did not migrate to the arteries. The bilateral common carotid angiogram also revealed the disappearance of the shunt, and the venous flow was anterograde. A vertebral angiogram was finally acquired to ensure shunt disappearance. However, a residual arteriovenous shunt, which was not seen on preoperative angiography, was identified. Venous congestion also remained in the left cerebellar hemisphere [-]. On 3-dimensional reconstructed maximum intensity projection (3D-MIP) images, the residual arteriovenous shunt beneath the cerebellar tentorium was identified above the location of the NBCA along the cerebellar tentorium . +On the 3D-MIP images, a dural branch originating from the SCA was identified as the feeder of the residual shunt. The artery originated close to the bifurcation of the basilar artery and the SCA. The artery branched from the anterior pontomesencephalic segment of the SCA and was considered to be the AWW [ and ]. As the embolization of the main shunting point with NBCA was successfully achieved and the shunting flow was not remarkably strong, we considered that the residual arteriovenous shunt could be monitored under observation. +The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. The residual arteriovenous fistula fed by the AWW disappeared spontaneously, as seen on follow-up vertebral angiography 1 week after the procedure [ and ]. No cerebellar ischemic lesion was observed postoperatively. The patient was discharged from the hospital without any neurological deficits. No apparent recurrence of the TDAVF was observed on the cerebral angiogram acquired 6 months after endovascular embolization. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_913_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_913_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..bcee697b9a9f8e7a7ca79a490badfb3d5d106bfd --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_913_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 29-year-old black Cameroonian of Bamileke ethnicity, gravida 5, para 3 with a past obstetric history of two consecutive caesarean sections done 9 and 5 years ago.

There were no other neurological deficits. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) did not demonstrate any lesions that could cause left hypoglossal nerve palsy . Axial T2-CUBE MRI demonstrated a false lumen of ICAD that compressed the outlet portion of the hypoglossal nerve tube and dilation of the perineural space in the hypoglossal canal . The false lumen of ICAD was adjacent to the hypoglossal canal at its distal side and protruded toward the hypoglossal neural tube.

Two weeks before her ED visit, her oral intake decreased because of reduced appetite, but oral medications continued at their initial dose. The day prior to her ED visit, her malaise worsened, and she developed nausea and abdominal pain. She consulted a local doctor where it was discovered that she had notable metabolic acidosis (pH, 6.860; CO2, 8 mmHg, HCO3, − 1.0 mEq/L; base excess measurement, below sensitivity); hence, she was urgently transferred to our facility. Her vital signs on admission were as follows: body temperature, 35.0 °C; pulse, 118/min; respiratory rate, 28/min; and blood pressure, 111/75 mmHg. The findings on consultation were notable dryness inside the oral cavity and a cold sensation on distal regions of the limbs. Auscultation of the chest revealed no significant findings, but there was mild tenderness in the lower abdominal region. The blood tests at the time of ED evaluation are shown in Table . Blood gases demonstrated notable metabolic acidosis (pH, 6.89; CO2, 11.4 mmHg; H CO3, 1.9 mEq/L; base excess, − 31.3 mmol/L), but the increase in lactic acid was mild at 3.3 mmol/L, and blood sugar was mildly elevated at 259 mg/dL. Although hyperkalemia was observed accompanying the acidosis, no significant kidney function impairment was observed. We considered a diagnosis of lactic acidosis secondary to metformin, but the patient had not recently been exposed to a contrast agent and the lactate was only mildly elevated, making this diagnosis less likely. Since point-of-care urine testing showed strongly positive urinary ketones and glucose, and plasma 3-hydroxybutyric acid (> 10,000 μmol/L) was also markedly high, DKA was suspected even though there was minimal hyperglycemia. As treatment for DKA, an injection of 0.45% sodium chloride was given as an intravenous drip at 800 mL/h. Blood sugar dropped down to 180 mg/dL after using two units of short-acting insulin; hence, insulin was not used continuously. Since hypoglycemia was a concern, an intravenous drip of glucose was started, and around 6 units/day of insulin was used as appropriate while blood sugar was monitored. Notable acidosis continued after starting treatment, and tachypnea and nausea were not tolerable; sodium bicarbonate was given as an intravenous drip. Although conservative treatments were continued, control of the severe ketoacidosis (pH, 7.18; CO2, 13.5 mmHg; HCO3, 5.0 mEq /L; base excess, − 22.3 mmol/L; 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 9,253 μmol/L) was difficult; thus, from day 2 after hospital admission, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was started. The acidosis improved because of CRRT over 3 days. The follow-up progress is shown in Table . Hyperketonemia reduced notably after a few days, but urinary sugar continued to rise. Osmotic diuresis set in with urinary glucose as the cause and polyurea was observed; thus, fluid replacement was carried out using Ringer’s solution based on the movement of the urinary sugar. Urinary sugar turned negative on day 16 after admission, and as her overall condition was good, she was discharged on day 18 after admission. \ No newline at end of file
