The tremor was largely refractory to medication and interfered with her quality of life. She underwent bilateral DBS lead electrode implantation targeting the dentatorubrothalamic tract, specifically, the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim), in the thalamus using the standard stereotactic protocol. A trajectory through the ventricle was avoided. Normally, we start by implanting the microelectrodes on the more symptomatic side and then proceed to the other side. In this case, three microelectrodes were simultaneously descended to target the left Vim (as her symptoms were worse in her right hand) first, followed by another three microelectrodes to target the right Vim. Their cannulas were used for macrostimulation to assess for improvement and to choose the best trajectory. Electrode placement (Medtronic 3387 model, Minneapolis, MN, USA) then occurred after confirmed improvement in tremor. The rostral ends of the electrodes were left in a subgaleal pocket to be accessed during a subsequent staged procedure for extension and pulse generator placement.

Whole-exome sequencing of the patient revealed a heterozygous variant, NM_001080414.4:c.1993G > A (p.E665K) (rs956104232), in the CCDC88C gene that results in substituting Glutamate at position 665 of the protein for Lysine. Sift , Polyphen2 HDIV , Mutation Taster , Provean and M-cap embedded in VarAFT software predicted this substitution as pathogenic with prediction scores of 0.002, 0.982, 1, − 3.21 and 0.069, respectively. Glutamate at position 665 of CCDC88C is highly conserved during evolution. The CADD score of 25 was also in favor of a pathogenic role of this change. We did not detect other convincing variants that could explain the phenotype in our patient. The variant NM_001080414.4:c.1993G > A (p.E665K) was reported once in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database in an individual of African ancestry and had a global allele frequency of 0.0000032 . Using Sanger sequencing, we validated that the variant NM_001080414.4:c.1993G > A (p.E665K) was heterozygous in the patient and absent in her healthy family members . +To validate the pathogenicity of the NM_001080414.4:c.1993G > A (p.E665K) variant, we expressed the CCDC88C cDNA in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells and assessed its effect on c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) / caspase-3 signaling pathway according to the presence or absence of the variant. Overexpressing CCDC88CE665K mutant protein caused a significant increase of JNK hyperphosphorylation and caspase-3 cleavage compared to the wild type protein, a pattern also seen when overexpressing the known SCA40 pathogenic proteins CCDC88CD43N and CCDC88CR464H . NM_001080414.4:c.1993G > A (p.E665K) was likely a de novo variant, though we did not have DNA samples from the parents. It had a low frequency in gnomAD database, predicted as pathogenic by multiple computational tools, and its pathogenicity was corroborated by functional studies, thus, fulfilling the criteria of likely pathogenic variants according to the American college of medical genetics and genomics guidelines for interpreting sequence variants published in 2015 . We have submitted the variant to the Clinvar database (accession VCV000978819.2). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1079_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1079_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..31844677426c3ef04710e9420e52f6fc457aa848 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1079_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 41-year-old man with SIT since early childhood was referred to our hospital because of high serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels (6.0 µg/L). The patient had no surgical history. His body mass index was 24.3 kg/m2. Physical examination results were normal. All laboratory data were within the normal range, except for the tumor markers. Colonoscopy revealed a bulge at the orifice of the appendix, but pathological examination did not reveal any malignancy . Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed complete “mirror-images” of the visceral organs . CT also showed appendiceal wall thickening, a cystic tumor with contrast effect, and an enlarged lymph node close to the tumor . CT and magnetic resonance imaging showed no solid component in the cystic tumor that would strongly suggest mucinous adenocarcinoma. The preoperative diagnosis was an appendiceal mucocele, which was considered a possible tumor such as low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN). We planned a laparoscopic-assisted ileocecal resection with D2 lymph-node dissection since the tumor was located at the root of the appendix with an enlarged lymph node. Preoperatively, we evaluated anatomical variations using 3D-CT, and no vascular anomalies except for completely inverted vessels were observed . In addition, we watched horizontally flipped videos of patients with normal anatomy undergoing similar operations to simulate mirror images and symmetrical procedures. +Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in lithotomy position. In contrast to normal surgery, the operator stood on the patient’s right side, the first assistant on the left side, and the scopist between the legs . A laparoscope was inserted through the umbilical trocar, and the other four trocars were placed opposite to their usual placement as shown in Fig. . Additionally, a 12 mm trocar was placed in the operator’s right hand, and two monitors were placed at the patient’s head. One monitor showed original images, and the other showed horizontally flipped images that looked the same as the normal anatomy . The central monitor 1 displayed the original images for the surgeons to see them easily, because it is dangerous and difficult to move the forceps while looking at flipped images due to paradoxical movement of the instruments. Moreover, the images displayed on the monitors were exchanged according to the surgical situation. As needed, the operation was momentarily paused to check for the range of mobilized regions and to visualize important anatomical structures by watching the monitor that showed flipped images . +Laparoscopy and intraperitoneal observation revealed transposition of the visceral organs, such as the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and colon. The ileocecal resection procedure was performed using the retroperitoneal approach as usual. The small intestine was moved cranially to secure the surgical field, and we initiated ileocecal mobilization. We dissected the mesentery from the retroperitoneal tissue with a focus on the gonadal vessels and identified the transverse portion of the duodenum. Next, while dissecting along the descending portion of the duodenum , we dissected the lateral attachment of the colon to the left abdominal wall toward the cranial side and mobilized the hepatic flexure . Finally, we performed additional dissection around the duodenum and pancreatic head, completing the mobilization . Since D3 lymph-node dissection was not necessary, we divided the ileocolic vessels near its root without lymph node dissection around the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and performed resection and reconstruction of the colon extracorporeally. In total, the operative time was 119 min, and the patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative pathological examination revealed lymphoid follicles in the intestinal epithelium of the appendiceal orifice and inflamed appendiceal mucosa with neutrophils and eosinophils. No tumor cells suggestive of LAMN or malignancy were observed. +Regarding laparoscopic surgical procedure for SIT, it was unclear how far the mobilization proceeded due to the mirror image; however, during the procedure, we periodically examined the mobilization progression by momentarily pausing the operation to watch the monitor showing flipped images. Additionally, we noted the following differences between surgery in SIT and surgery in patients with normal anatomy: (1) operability involving large movements such as moving the small intestine and securing the surgical field (2) recognition of anatomies such as orientation of the gonadal vessels and duodenum, positional relationship between the hepatic flexure and duodenum, and the hepatic flexure in the upper left abdomen being closer than expected as compared to the splenic flexure in normal anatomy. In such situations, we were able to appropriately address any confusion and misrecognition by checking the flipped monitor . Additionally, this procedural method allowed for safe operation on important organs, such as the pancreatic head .

Her long-term history of arthritis could be traced back to when she started to suffer from symmetrical polyarthritis at the age of 2 years, and her arthritis was in both knees, both wrists, the metacarpophalangeal joints, the proximal and distal phalangeal joints. She presented to the pediatric doctors in the local hospital by her parents and was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The doctor treated her mostly with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and methotrexate (MTX). During the following 5 years, her symptoms were not well controlled. At the age of 6 years, she had repeated and unexplained fevers. Anti-infection and symptomatic treatment were given but were ineffective. She was taken to her local pediatrician many times and received steroid treatment for several months. When she was 7 years of age, she complained of attacks of redness in both eyes but denied any history of vision loss. She was diagnosed with anterior uveitis of both eyes and her ocular symptoms disappeared after receiving ophthalmic treatment (tobramycin dexamethasone eye drops). Regarding her complete past medical history, in addition to the above manifestations, she had a squamous rash once at 10 months of age, which was ignored by her parents at that time. +In August 2009, when she was 8 years and 9 months old, the girl was referred to our hospital for the first time regarding recurrent arthritis in the absence of ocular complaints, rash and other symptoms. There was no other contributory past medical or history or family history. Physical examination revealed swan neck deformities of all fingers , limited joint mobility, swelling of the wrists, elbows, and knees, and a positive right 4-word test. No other remarkable findings were observed on physical examination. Blood tests showed a significant increase in the C-reactive protein (CRP) level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Her rheumatoid factor and human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) were negative. No positive findings were found on her ophthalmic examination. MRI and other imaging examinations supported the manifestations of arthritis. With a diagnosis of JIA (polyarticular, RF negative), treatment was initiated and consisted of Etanercept, recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-Fc (rhTNFR:Fc), 0.8 mg/kg per week combined with MTX and NSAIDs. She showed improvement in her joint swelling and fever, but these symptoms still had recurred. In the following 10 years, the patient was followed up irregularly, and she had stopped etanercept on her own. Between 2015 and 2019, she was intermittently treated with prednisolone at doses ranging from 2.5 mg to 10 mg per day. Regrettably, the girl had vision loss in both eyes in 2018. An ocular examination showed obsolete iridocyclitis in both eyes and left eye cataracts. She underwent left eye cataract surgery in May 2018 in the Ophthalmology & Otorhinolaryngology Hospital, and her visual acuity recovered after the operation. In October 2019, she developed unexplained hypertension, which was found on a routine physical examination at school. She was referred to the local hospital and given nifedipine, but her blood pressure was not controlled. +On October 24, 2019, the girl was transferred to our hospital. Physical examination revealed that her blood pressure (BP) was 140/70 mmHg in the left upper limb, 139/79 mmHg in the right upper limb, 167/76 mmHg in the left lower limb, and 165/67 mmHg in the right lower limb. Before this, her blood pressure was increased once in a visit in 2017 in the only few outpatient visits, and was normal at other times. Moreover, she had painless fixed flexion deformities of multiple joints on physical examination. Additionally, ophthalmologic checks showed bilateral band-shaped degeneration of the cornea, with a corrected visual acuity of 0.4 in the right eye (OD) and 0.3 in the left eye (OS). She was diagnosed with bilateral panuveitis by an ophthalmologist. Various laboratory tests were ordered, and the results were as follows: her 24-h urinary protein excretion was 0.19 g and her serum creatinine was 102 μmol/L. We collected data on the serum creatinine (Scr) and eGFR of the patient during the past 10 years . According to the results, her Scr began to increase (ranging from 75 to 92 μmol/L) in approximately 2017 and finally increased to 102 μmol/L in October 2019. Her renin–angiotensin–aldosterone, CRP, ESR and thyroid hormone were within the normal ranges. Her autoantibodies were negative. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) showed that the 24-h average BP was 143/83 mmHg (> 130/80 mmHg), the daytime average BP was 144/86 mmHg (> 135/85 mmHg) the and nighttime mean BP was 140/76 mmHg (> 120/70 mmHg). +B ultrasound demonstrated that the right kidney (8.85*3*3.42 cm) was smaller than the left kidney (10.2*3.86*4.05 cm). The difference in length between the two kidneys was 1.35 cm. We searched and summarized all the renal B ultrasound data of the patient in the past 10 years compared with kidney length normative values in children . The sizes of the kidneys did not increase with age, the right kidney gradually decreased in size, and the size difference of both kidneys gradually increased. 99mTc-DTPA renography demonstrated that the right kidney was smaller than the left kidney with poor renal perfusion and impaired renal function . The GFR [ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1] of the kidneys was 74.4 (right kidney 30.8, left kidney 43.6). A significant difference was observed in the two splits of renal function: the renal function was 41.4% in the right kidney and was 58.6% in the left kidney. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the renal artery illustrated that the branches of the renal artery in the right hilum had mild stenosis , and the right kidney was smaller than the left kidney . No significant abnormalities were observed in the thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta, or cerebrovascular system. No remarkable findings were revealed on echocardiography and during an electrocardiogram. To further clarify the situation of the patients’s renal vessels, we also suggested performing digital angiography. However, her parents refused this invasive examination. The patient was diagnosed with right renal vasculitis through CTA of the renal artery (mild stenosis in the branch of the renal artery of the right renal hilus) and 99mTc-DTPA renography (difference in bilateral renal function and GFR) based on her two unequally sized kidneys (the gradually shrinking right kidney and the normal left kidney). +In view of the clinical manifestations mentioned above, including recurrent polyarthritis, fever, bilateral panuveitis and kidney involvement in medium-vessel vasculitis, it was obvious that this girl might in fact not have JIA. The diagnosis was likely an autoinflammatory disease. Thus, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) for the patient and her family. The results revealed that she had a de-novo heterozygous mutation in the NOD2 gene (c.1538 T > C, p.M513T) , with her parents presenting with the wild type. The M513T (1538 T/C) mutation was a heterozygous mutation and has been reported previously. According to the presentation and genetic test results, she was finally diagnosed with Blau syndrome and renovascular hypertension. +Considering her ocular lesions and unsatisfactory therapeutic effect, we suggested treating her with an anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody (adalimumab) based on the previous studies . However, the patient refused the treatment because of financial reasons. Finally, she temporarily accepted a low dose of oral prednisolone, MTX, metoprolol and plendil. Her BP was gradually decreased and was controlled at approximately 130/80 mmHg. The OD and OS corrected vision were gradually restored to 0.6 after approximately 3 months. Her serum creatinine level slightly decreased and remained between 80–90 μmol/L after nearly 3 months of follow-up. In February 2020, she was referred to an adult hospital after reaching the age of 18. In the latest telephone consultation with the patient in December 2022, she stated that she was receiving prednisolone (15 mg/day) and tofacitinib (5 mg bid), and MTX had been discontinued because of abnormal transaminase. There were no new symptoms in the joints or eyes. There were also no rashes. Hematology examinations indicated that the patient’s ESR (25 mm/h) and serum creatinine (138 μmol/L) had increased. Her blood pressure was maintained at approximately 140/90 mmHg without any antihypertensive therapy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1102_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1102_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0132f4e3c3df86598b6899d122659348422040a4 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1102_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 37-year-old Japanese woman had a history of gender identity disorder from childhood and had taken testosterone injections once every 2 weeks since she was 19 years old.

In May 2017, she developed a headache and visual field deficits together with elevated blood pressure and was referred to our hospital. On admission, her blood pressure was 165/105 mmHg with regular heart rhythm. She was alert and well oriented. She had left homonymous hemianopia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a hyperintense lesion in the right parieto-occipital lobe on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) , which were not enhanced by contrast with gadolinium. MR angiography (MRA) showed steno-occlusive lesions in bilateral middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) . Three-dimensional contrast-enhanced angiography revealed occlusions of bilateral MCAs . She was initially suspected as having PRES related to reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) and received treatment with an antihypertensive drug and 100 mg of aspirin. Routine blood testing showed the patient was HIV-1 antibody-positive. The CD4+ T-cell count was 140 cells/μl and the HIV viral load detected by PCR was 330,000 copies/ml. She underwent lumbar puncture, and no pleocytosis was found. Furthermore, PCR for herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and JC virus in cerebrospinal fluid was negative. She had also developed pneumocystis pneumonia when she was diagnosed with AIDS. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) comprising dolutegravir sodium, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate was initiated, and she was discharged from the hospital. Two weeks later, she suffered a severe headache and worsening of visual disturbance in bilateral eyes. Her blood pressure was 153/93 mmHg and her visual acuities were finger counting. MRI showed the hyperintense lesion had expanded to bilateral posterior hemispheres . Stenotic lesions in bilateral MCAs remained on MRA and three-dimensional contrast-enhanced angiography . The CD4+ T-cell count at readmission was 189 cells/μl and HIV viral load was 94 copies/ml, indicating that AIDS activity was alleviated after ART. Although she was initially treated with edaravone, a free radical scavenger, and antihypertensive agents after readmission, her visual acuities fluctuated and contrast-enhanced MRI showed multiple punctate and linear gadolinium-enhanced lesions in the occipital and temporal lobes and the cerebellum . Brain biopsy was performed from the right occipital lobe. Histopathology showed severe tissue destruction, astrocytic gliosis, microglial activation, and vasculitis with marked lymphocytic infiltration in the cerebral white matter in the absence of multinucleated giant cells and lymphoma cells . Infiltrated lymphocytes were mostly CD8+ T-lymphocytes, while CD4+ T-lymphocytes were scarce . We finally diagnosed her as having CD8+ encephalitis, with an exacerbation caused by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after ART. After brain biopsy, the patient was treated with 1000 mg of methylprednisolone intravenously for 3 consecutive days followed by 0.5 mg/kg/day of prednisolone. Her visual acuities and headache improved after corticosteroid treatment. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1107_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1107_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6d7812112a0daefa1281b0ff479b2b57f4a9fdb2 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1107_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +My patient was a 19-year-old man diagnosed in early childhood with ADHD and ASD. He was referred by his local doctor for ongoing treatment as an adult. He had experienced long-term difficulties in establishing and maintaining lasting relationships and reading social cues. His conversations were awkward and restricted to a narrow range of subjects and he was frequently impulsive and insensitive during these interactions. These impairments had contributed to his increasing social isolation and conflict within the family environment. He had a low threshold of irritation and intolerance of noise, light and crowds. There was also a long history of outbursts of anger, physical intimidation and frequent destruction to property at home. He was also disorganized, forgetful and had difficulty completing tasks. He has always been overactive, restless and impulsive. There was no history of pervasive mood disturbance. +There were early concerns about a potential developmental delay and he was referred for a pediatric assessment at age two years. He received speech therapy prior to school and also repeated his pre-school year. Although he was of average intellect, his significant and specific learning, behavioral and communication difficulties warranted a placement in a special education unit to manage his needs. He experienced difficulties in both reading and writing and he performed below all national standards of literacy and numeracy. Reading remained effortful and unrewarding, with difficulties focusing on and reading along a line of text. At the age of seven he had an occupational therapy assessment, which reported difficulties with coordination, fine motor control, planning and sequencing. In the classroom he was reported to be distracted and restless, presented with extreme outbursts of anger and frequently ran away. He had poor interpersonal skills, established few friendships, had odd idiosyncratic language and repetitive hand flapping, and had a history of being bullied. +He commenced stimulant medication during early childhood and had trials of immediate-release dexamphetamine and methylphenidate with improvement in classroom behavior. He had little interest or motivation in taking his medication, resulting in generally poor adherence. Without stimulant medication his behavior quickly deteriorated. +Since leaving school he had obtained a number of part-time unskilled jobs for eight to ten hours per week. He was, however, unable to maintain them because of behavioral and communication difficulties. He did not smoke cigarettes or consume alcohol or illicit substances. There was no significant family psychiatric history. +On presentation, he was taking methylphenidate extended-release 72mg daily via an osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system and melatonin 4mg every night. He had been prescribed this medication for the previous two years. +During my clinical assessment, he was constantly restless, appeared disinterested and was easily distracted. He made little eye contact either when listening or speaking and his non-verbal interaction was limited. His answers to questions were minimal and his speech lacked normal prosody. His blood pressure and pulse were within the normal range although he was significantly overweight with a body mass index of 34kg/m2 (weight 102kg, height 1.72m). +Following completion of his assessment an additional dose of methylphenidate was recommended in the late afternoon to try and reduce his frequent aggression at this time. However, he stated that this suggestion was of no interest to him and he did not care that others might be upset by his behavior. +During the three months following his initial assessment there was no alteration to his pharmacotherapy and no improvement in his behavior. As a consequence of his persistent social difficulties the option of a trial of low-dose phenytoin was discussed. It was explained to my patient and his mother that improvements in social functioning had been observed by myself and been reported by other patients who also had taken low-dose phenytoin; although, these effects had not been demonstrated outside the clinic nor was this an approved indication for the medication. My patient and his mother signed a disclosure and informed consent document and a trial of medication was organized for the following consultation. +Two weeks later a sublingual test dose of approximately 2mg phenytoin was administered. Prior to this dose my patient’s interaction reflected his usual behavior, with little interest and social engagement. He was reluctant to participate in conversation and his verbal responses were minimal and lacked elaboration; there was only minimal facial expression, which appeared to be unconnected to the content of his speech. Within 10 minutes of taking the sublingual phenytoin he reported a reduction in the effort required to contribute to conversation and was able to sustain eye contact both when listening and speaking. He was surprised about the effortless nature of his eye gaze and also commented that he had never done this before, and that previously he had always found it easier to avoid eye contact when speaking. He was now experiencing the reverse, finding it harder to break away from the mutual eye gaze. He stated he felt more relaxed and was less distracted by other environmental visual and sensory stimuli. His non-verbal interaction, demonstrated by the raising of his eyebrows, smiling and nodding of his head, appeared to be more spontaneous and natural. During this assessment he read aloud two standardized examples of a text, pre- and post-administration of the phenytoin. He reported a reduction in the effort required and improved comprehension and accuracy. He stated that he was no longer as distracted by the other lines of text on the page, which previously had resulted in becoming overwhelmed and lost on the page. His speech was also more fluid with more appropriate intonation. He denied any adverse effects of the test dose. The following day he started taking compounded 2mg phenytoin capsules in the morning in conjunction with his methylphenidate. +After two weeks both he and his mother stated that his communication with the family had improved and there had been no aggressive outbursts. During the consultation he was noticeably more engaged and appeared to enjoy the interaction. His ability to maintain eye contact and his non-verbal communication - facial expression, head movements and posture -were more synchronized and spontaneous. +Over the next four weeks he became inconsistent in taking the phenytoin, and then ceased altogether. His behavior reverted to the previous pattern of poor social interaction; he became oppositional with outbursts of anger and physical violence. +Nine months later he resumed taking the phenytoin, this time as a single 4mg capsule in the morning. After his first dose there was an improvement of his social behavior similar to his previous response, although there was an apparent deterioration in the late afternoon. The dose was increased from 4mg to 5mg and a larger capsule formulated to try and prolong the release of the phenytoin. This appeared to achieve a more consistent improvement in behavior throughout the day, evident both at home and at work. Increases in the dose above 5mg were not associated with any additional benefit. He remained on the 5mg dose of phenytoin for over 18 months and reported that his work performance had consistently improved sufficient to increase his working hours and his level of responsibility. The violence and destruction at home abated. His confidence improved and for the first time he has established and sustained peer-appropriate friendships. +His behavioral ratings prior to treatment with phenytoin and after seven months on the 5mg phenytoin are presented in Figure . The manner in which my patient endorsed the items on the AQ highlighted a reduction of symptoms, with the most robust improvements in his enjoyment of social occasions, ability to cope with chit chat, and his preference to be with people rather than be alone. His total AQ score dropped from 41 pre- to 27 post-treatment with phenytoin; a score of 32 or more is considered to indicate clinically significant levels of autistic traits . Before treatment with phenytoin, his DASS ratings recorded both depression and anxiety as severe and stress as very severe. Post-treatment, there was robust change in all domains, with an absence of depressive symptoms and with both anxiety and stress being recorded as moderate. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1119_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1119_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..34591b82912ace32c7eb89eb65d2c07432022f3c --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1119_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 75-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer through a medical check-up and was referred to our department.

Upper endoscopy demonstrated a 5-cm circumferential ulcerated lesion at the cardia . Biopsy showed a poorly differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography (CT) showed a wall thickening of the lesser curvature side of the upper gastric body . The patient underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection, and the pathological diagnosis was consistent with a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, pathological stage T4aN1M0, and IIIA according to the UICC classification . The postoperative course was unremarkable, and the patient was discharged. He refused adjuvant chemotherapy and was under close observation. The patient was regularly followed up with laboratory tests and imaging studies. Twenty-three months after the primary gastrectomy, a CT scan revealed an irregular mass near the port site wounds . The mass continued growing over time, and port site recurrence was suspected. The CA19-9 level increased to 142.2 U/ml . The patient underwent mass resection, and the pathological diagnosis was consistent with metastatic adenocarcinoma in the subcutaneous tissue at the port site . In the operative findings, there were no ascites and disseminated nodules in the abdominal cavity. Macroscopic findings of the resected specimen revealed that the center of the tumor was not in the peritoneum, but the abdominal wall. Therefore, it was considered to be a PSM rather than peritoneal dissemination. Thirteen months after the second surgery, CT revealed an enhanced mass in the abdominal wall. Furthermore, PET-CT showed an elevated uptake in the rectus abdominis muscle and a SUV of 3.1 . Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the lesion detected malignant cells with suspected metastatic adenocarcinoma. The CA19-9 level was elevated to 53.6 U/ml again . The patient underwent mass resection again. The mass had macroscopically infiltrated into the rectus abdominis muscle . Similar to the first recurrence, there were no ascites or disseminated nodules in the abdominal cavity. The pathological diagnosis was identical to that of a gastric metastatic adenocarcinoma in the rectus abdominis muscle . After thirty-five months from the third surgery, CT revealed a mass in the left gluteal region. PET-CT revealed a 35-mm mass in the lateral subcutaneous area of the left iliocostalis lumborum muscle, which showed an elevated SUV of 9.6 . Percutaneous biopsy of the lesion revealed a metastatic adenocarcinoma, and the CA19-9 level was 111 U/ml . Another mass resection procedure was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was consistent with subcutaneous metastasis from the gastric adenocarcinoma . Since tumor cells were present at the resection margin, additional radiation therapy was performed. After each recurrence, the patient did not undergo adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient has survived 78 months after primary gastrectomy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_112_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_112_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..74a8e46ef14a1abb377aacfeb42014038d06ead9 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_112_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +The patient was a 55-year-old woman with a history of smoking and prolonged opium inhalation, referred to Ghaem clinic in Mashhad with dysphonia, hoarseness, and occasional aspiration since last year.

In laryngoscopy, prior to surgery, left arytenoid, aryepiglottic fold, left false vocal cord, true vocal cord, anterior commissure, and subglottic region were tumoral. In addition, other parts of the larynx and hypopharynx were normal. The left vocal cord was fixed. In the preoperative computed tomography scan, there was a transglottic involvement on the left side, and cervical lymphadenopathy was not detected. Laryngeal cartilage and hyoid bone were reported to be normal. The right paraglottic space was involved, and the epiglottis was normal. The tongue, esophagus, trachea, and thyroid were normal. The biopsy of the affected areas represented the well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, chest X-rays and liver function tests were normal.

This clinical target volume (CTV) was determined by electrophysiological mapping and contoured prior to the treatment by a medical doctor from the Texas Heart Arrhythmia Institute in Austin, USA. The left anterior descending coronary artery, the circumflex coronary arteries and the non-involved left ventricle were OARs near the target. +First, the 4D CT scan of the VT patient was loaded into the Raysearch® Raystation treatment planning system (version 10B, Raysearch Laboratories AB, Stockholm, Sweden). Subsequently, a virtual representation of the prototype version of the proprietary US probe system of EBAMed (Geneva, Switzerland) was manually inserted as volume of interest (VOI) in two locations representing the estimated position of the apical and parasternal US viewing windows. A separate study has already verified that these US viewing windows provide US images of sufficient quality for VT patients in supine position . The US probe was simulated as a cube of 2 × 2 × 2 cm. It is equipped with infra-red markers such that the probe can be localized by an optical camera (see ) and it is attached to a holder such that it can be fixed on the chest of the patient allowing for hands-free imaging during the treatment. To account for uncertainties in repositioning of the US probe during the treatment, including probe position uncertainties due to respiration and breath-hold differences, an isotropic safety margin of 10 mm has been added to the union of the US probe, holder, and optical marker. +The parasternal US probe position allowed entrance of the treatment beams from optimal directions with respect to dosimetry for this particular patient. After selection of this virtual US probe position, a pencil-beam scanned proton therapy treatment plan was generated with the treatment planning system using the CNAO (Pavia, Italy) synchrotron proton beam model adapted to the Hitachi PROBEAT gantry system with 360° range of beam angles . During planning, the solid angle was restricted to take into account the US probe, the probe holder and the localization marker. Two fields were applied both with a gantry angle of 25° and a couch rotation of 0° and 90° for beam 1 and 2, respectively. The treatment volume was planned with an internal target volume (ITV) approach in order to compensate for shape and position changes of the target due to the heartbeat. It was assumed that the motion of the heart due to respiration would be mitigated using a breath-hold technique or respiratory gating. The envisioned role of the US imaging during this treatment was real-time cardiac motion monitoring and sending an alert to the operator in case the measured motion was outside of predefined limits. +For the generation of the ITV, the heartbeat motion envelope was extracted from the 4D CT scan by deformable registration of each phase of the 4D CT scan to the planning CT scan. The resulting ITV is the union of the CTVs at all phases of the 4D CT. Finally, the planning target volume (PTV) was generated by adding a 5 mm margin to the ITV based on typical patient set-up errors which are expected when no image guidance tool like US imaging is used. +Dose constraints on dose-volume tolerances in agreement with prior investigators were set as planning objectives. All doses are reported in Cobalt Gray Equivalent Dose (CGyE). The plan required the ITV to be covered by the 25 CGyE isodose, which is a dose level used in prior clinical studies to achieve safe, efficacious radioablation. To achieve this, the plan was normalized so that PTV D92% = 25 CGyE. Also, in order to arrive at a satisfactory treatment plan (, ), robust optimization with 2 mm set-up error in all directions and 2% range uncertainty was used during planning. +To verify the clinical acceptability of the generated plan, evaluation of standard target dose-volume metrics D98, D95 D50 and D2 was performed. In addition, the dose to OARs and the target dose conformity and homogeneity were evaluated. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1262_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1262_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..72734784adb94cb35871de50e4f5e45709fc0876 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1262_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +A 27-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 0, with no history of previous disease and no family history of congenital anomalies, smoker and with a BMI of 18.3 received a diagnosis of spontaneous twin pregnancy at 12 weeks. The assessment of chorionicity in this gestational age was however hampered by the presence of an hematoma measuring 44 × 38 mm separating the two membranes, thus preventing the identification of the “lambda” or “T” sign. +The anatomy scan at 20 weeks revealed two female fetuses, both presenting isolated levocardia (IL) with normal heart and situs inversus abdominalis with a left-sided liver and right-sided stomach and spleen . Noteworthy, in one fetus (A) the gallbladder was not visible. +An amniocentesis was performed, with conventional cytogenetic evaluation indicating normal karyotype 46XX for both fetuses. No genetic anomaly was reported with the Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA). Zygosity was assessed by microsatellite analysis; as shown in Table , twins share only a fraction of paternal and maternal alleles, indicating dizygosity. +At 36 weeks one fetus was diagnosed to be growth restricted, having an abdominal circumference and an estimated fetal weight less than 3rd centile. At 37 weeks and 1 day, the pulsatility index (PI) of the umbilical artery of the growth restricted fetus, with an estimated fetal weight of 2171 g (below the 3rd centile, according to Hadlock growth chart), was 0.89 (corresponding to 46° centile), while the PI of the middle cerebral artery was 1.45 (26° centile). By contrast, the other twin had an estimated fetal weight of 2521 g with normal Doppler parameters. At 37 weeks and 3 days the mother underwent a scheduled cesarean delivery. The birthweight of the two female neonates were 2430 g and 2185 g. +The histological analysis of the placenta confirmed the monochorionicity of the twin pregnancy, revealing the juxtaposition of an amnion on each surface of the dividing membrane . The chorion was not visible between the two amnion surfaces, thus excluding the rare occurrence of partially fused placentas [, ].

In order to identify possible genetic causes of such a concordant abnormal phenotype, the twins were subjected to clinical exome analysis with evaluation of 17 genes known to be associated to situs inversus. However, according to the variant classification ACMG (The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics), no pathogenic or probably pathogenetic variants have been identified. By opening the analysis to the whole clinical exome (4490 genes), the twins did not share pathogenic or probably pathogenetic variants. In addition, the twin whose gallbladder was not visualized prenatally, developed jaundice with acholic stool in her neonatal period. +The complete abdominal scan performed at 20 days of extrauterine life showed a left sided, damage-free liver with regular size (lateral diameter of 6,3 cm), a reversed relation between superior mesenteric vein and artery and right-placed inferior vena cava in relation to the aorta. These findings perfectly fit with abdominalis situs inversus with isolated levocardia. The scan revealed for the first time a shriveled gallbladder, which led to the diagnosis of biliary atresia type IV associated with splenic malformations syndrome . The clinical exome analysis was unable to identify the genetic cause of these abdominal abnormalities. +The twin with BASM at 38 days of extrauterine life underwent Kasai portoenterostomy, second-hand appendectomy and Ladd bridle dissection.

Because of her persistent back pain over 4 days, invasive treatment was deemed necessary. Moreover, due to the involvement of the visceral aorta into the dissection, it was deemed necessary to treat the dissected aorta extensively. As the site was located in the Brazilian state of Tocatins, more than 2000 kilometers away from the closest vascular center, the decision was made to treat the patient locally. +The procedure was performed on day 4 after symptoms onset, under local anesthetic and sedation. Unilateral ultrasound-guided right femoral access was obtained by a preclose technique with two Proglide devices (Abbot Vascular, Santa Clara, California). Proper guidewire introduction and advancement in the true lumen was ensured by angiographic guidance. Through a 20 Fr sheath, two overlapping multilayer stents were implanted. To ensure a sufficient healthy landing zone and obtain adequate proximal seal, decision was made to deliver the proximal stent over the aortic arch. The open mesh structure of the multilayer stent made this possible, ensuring preserved perfusion of the supra-aortic branches. +No rapid pacing nor adjunctive procedure were necessary for the deployment of the stents. Angiogram at the end of the procedure showed approximation of the entry tear and total exclusion of the false lumen in front of the entry tear, with patent side branches, particularly the supra-aortic arteries, mesenteric arteries and both renal arteries.

Her third, fourth, and fifth pregnancies ended in abortion at early gestation with dilation & curettage treatment. In her previous pregnancy at 36 years of age, she received laparoscopic left salpingectomy and methotrexate (MTX) treatment due to ectopic pregnancy. No other surgeries on the pelvis or abdomen has been performed. +Her general condition was stable. Physical examination showed normal secretions, no vaginal bleeding or fluid, no cervical dilation, but irregular preterm contractions with a shortened cervical length. Ultrasonography revealed a decreased amniotic fluid index (AFI 4.0 cm) and a single intrauterine pregnancy with breech presentation and positive fetal heart activity. The placenta was located on the anterior wall of the uterus. Laboratory tests were performed at the time of admission and did not show any significant findings, and hemoglobin level was 120 g/L. Due to the risk of premature birth, dydrogesterone was used to relieve uterine contraction and dexamethasone was administered to accelerate fetal lung maturation. Over 2 days following admission, her symptoms gradually worsened. She presented with diffuse abdominal pain and distension. She also reported nausea and had problem in defecating. Ultrasonography of the abdomen represented intestinal dilatation and multiple intestinal contents and air-fluid levels in the colon. Therefore, an intestinal obstruction was suspected. Enema was used to help intestinal peristalsis. +As there was no improvement in her condition, the patient requested a transfer to our hospital. Clinical examination revealed epigastric tenderness and mild abdominal distension, with no signs of guarding or peritonitis. Bowel sounds were weak. Consulting with the surgeon on duty, an abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed after informed consent from the patient. CT represented dilatation of ascending colon and transverse colon . The symptoms were relieved after a nasogastric tube was inserted initially and enema was used. Since ultrasonography revealed oligohydramnios, a test for amniotic fluid crystal was performed, showing no signs of premature rupture of fetal membrane. On the fourth day following admission in our hospital, ultrasonography showed merely no fluid in the amniotic sac and the patient complained of no complete relief of bowel obstruction. Therefore, an emergency caesarean section (C-section) was performed. A healthy baby was delivered with no complications. Intra-operative assessment showed dense adhesion between the left wall of uterus and omentum, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. After adhesion dialysis and intestinal arrangement performed by a colon and rectal surgeon, uterine rupture with complete opening of the uterine wall at the site of left uterine cornua was found without active bleeding . The uterine scar was repaired using a double-layer closure. +Re-evaluation of the former abdominal CT was taken, revealing discontinuity of the uterine muscle layer in the left uterine cornua , which was consistent with intraoperative findings. Considering that the hemoglobin level didn’t decrease, her blood pressure remained stable, and no fetal distress happened during her labor of the birth, we assumed that the uterine rupture may occurred very early. Since omentum and colon were attached to the site of perforation, no clinical signs of uterine rupture were presented. As uterus enlarged, changes in the transit of intestinal tract decreased the intestinal peristalsis and then caused obstruction. +The patient recovered well without any complications and was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1451_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1451_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5d776184a3fec941c61b8aec748b898e8e8f9ce0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1451_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 44-year-old Guatemalan woman presented to our outpatient clinic with a chief complaint of left knee pain for the last 6 months.

Due to repeated non-healing of chest wall wound and formation of chest wall defect, ulcer and fistula caused by debridement, the patient was admitted to our hospital for further treatment. Chest CT scan showed partial defect of left chest wall with sinus formation, high-density shadow of left clavicle and some ribs. According to the patient's symptoms and imaging examination, we diagnosed chest wall sinus with infection and chronic osteomyelitis. +After admission, the patient continued to be given local cleaning and dressing changes on the wound surface. The purulent secretions at the sinus orifice were subjected to microbial culture and drug susceptibility tests. The results of the three secretion cultures were all suggestive of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Her BMI was 18.4 kg/m2 and albumin was 24.5 g/L. We chose sensitive antibiotics for systemic anti-infective treatment. At the same time, nutritional support and correction of hypoalbuminemia were given. Enhanced chest CT and three-dimensional reconstruction were performed. Before chest CT examination, 50% meglumine solution was injected into sinus orifice through a thin drainage tube to fully understand the shape, scope and adjacent conditions of sinus. Due to the long course of disease and lack of confidence in treatment, the patients were given necessary psychological counseling and appropriate anti anxiety drug treatment. +The operation was divided into two stages, both under general anesthesia. Before first-stage operation, we injected methylene blue solution from sinus orifice to make sinus wall fully stained to guide the scope of surgical curettage, which could not only ensure the complete removal of the diseased sinus wall tissue, but also avoided too much damage to the normal tissue and even the important organs behind the sternum. Taking the sinus orifice of chest wall as a center, a fusiform incision with a length of about 8 cm was made along the 1 cm around sinus orifice. The direction and length of the incision were determined according to the sinus shape (the sinus starts at the level of the left first rib and ends at the level of the left fourth rib, without communication with the thoracic cavity) shown on preoperative chest CT and the position of the myocutaneous flap to be filled. After incision of the skin, the sternum and infected area were fully exposed, sinus wall tissue was fully scraped with a curette, and then necrotic bone was completely removed with a rongeur (It starts from the junction of the left first rib and the manubrium cartilage.

When the granulation of sinus wound was fresh, the secretion was significantly reduced, the re-culturing of the wound secretion was negative, and the infection was preliminarily controlled, we were ready for the second-stage operation. Continue to appropriately expanded the wound along the original incision, thoroughly debrideed the necrotic tissue until the wound was fresh, and measured the size of the chest wall defect was about 15 × 8 cm. After hemostasis, rinsed the wound with a large amount of iodophor, hydrogen peroxide, and normal saline alternately. The patient's body position was changed to 90° lateral lying position. According to the preoperative planned flap incision, the pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was selected as the living tissue to fill the defect wound. The computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination of the subclavian artery showed that there were internal thoracic artery and thoracodorsal artery on the affected side without malformation. During the operation, first of all, an incision was made along the outer edge of latissimus dorsi muscle, starting from the proximal axillary apex, and the proximal and distal ends of latissimus dorsi muscle were dissociated and fully exposed in turn to protect the thoracodorsal artery and vein. Finally, a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap with thoracodorsal neurovascular bundle of sufficient length was formed. The size of the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was about 30 × 8 cm, while the skin island of about 16cmx8cm was reserved. During harvesting of the myocutaneous flap, the blood supply should be preserved as much as possible, while avoiding excessive distortion of the pedicle of the myocutaneous flap. We first made a subcutaneous tunnel between the acquisition site of the myocutaneous flap and the sternal wound, transferred the myocutaneous flap to the chest wall defect wound, then sutured and fixed it with the soft tissue around the wound, closely combined the myocutaneous flap with the bottom of the chest wall wound to eliminate the dead space, and finally placed a drainage tube . The patient was treated with anti infection (Cefoperazone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium + Levofloxacin and Sodium Chloride Injection), anti spasm (Raceanisodamine Hydrochloride Injection) and anticoagulation (Enoxaparin Sodium Injection) after operation. The color and temperature of the myocutaneous flap was closely observed and tested. The transplanted myocutaneous flap was kept warm, and the incision was avoided from compression to protect the smooth blood flow. The patient pulled out the chest tubes on the 4th postoperative day and was discharged from the hospital on the 7th day. At present, the patient was followed up for 6 months after the operation, the incision healed well and no malignant tumor tissue was found in the routine pathology after the two operations.

He reported a history of heavy smoking for approximately 40 years; moreover, his father had a history of lung cancer. The patient did not have any clinical symptoms of cancer, and no remarkable changes were noted on physical examination. However, a routine blood test done 3 months earlier indicated anemia (hemoglobin: 9.6 g/dL), and the patient’s stool sample tested positive for occult blood. We tested for tumor markers and found the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen was slightly elevated at 3.3 ng/mL, but the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19–9 were within the reference range. An upper GI endoscopy showed a bleeding, irregular, protruding lesion located on the posterior wall of the lesser curvature within the body of the stomach ; the lesion was biopsied and identified as a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Moreover, at the lower part of the esophagus, there was a slightly concave lesion that was entirely separate from the gastric tumor. Biopsy specimens from the esophageal lesion indicated SCC. The patient was scheduled for surgical tumor excision. First, en bloc resection via endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed for the esophageal cancer, and the pathological diagnosis was well-differentiated SCC with negative margins and slight infiltration of the mucosal lamina propria. At a later date, segmental gastrectomy was performed for the gastric tumor. The proximal gastric surgical margin was confirmed to be negative by rapid assessment. The resected gastric tumor was subjected to histopathological examination. Macroscopically, the gastrectomy specimen had a protruding lesion measuring 41 × 29 × 18 mm3 . The cross-section showed a grayish-white tumor with growth mainly on the mucous membranous surface as well as areas with a cystic appearance and a translucent cartilage-like matrix in parts . Histologically, the tumor was a carcinosarcoma with mixed adenocarcinomatous and sarcomatous components . Tumor invasion was limited to the submucosa. The adenocarcinomatous component exhibited tubular, papillary, and, in some parts, solid growth patterns. The adenocarcinoma cells were acidophilic and cylindrical; however, some regions comprised adenocarcinoma cells with clear cytoplasm. The adenocarcinomatous component resulted in diffuse lymphatic and venous invasion. The sarcomatous portion showed proliferation of atypical spindle cells and atypical round cells with a high nucleus-to-cytoplasm (N/C) ratio . In the sarcomatous portion, some parts showed chondrogenesis, and dyskaryosis was observed in chondrocyte-like cells . Immunohistochemically, the adenocarcinomatous component with clear cytoplasm comprised areas with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)- and Sal-like protein 4 (SALL4)-positive AFP-producing gastric carcinoma . Moreover, there were synaptophysin- and chromogranin A-positive adenocarcinomatous regions that showed neuroendocrine differentiation . The sarcomatous portion was predominantly composed of undifferentiated areas as indicated by unstained regions, but included smooth muscle actin-positive leiomyosarcomatous areas composed of spindle cells with acidophilic cytoplasm as well as areas of desmin- and MyoD1-positive atypical round cells with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation . Furthermore, a proliferative focus with atypical “bare nucleus” cells that was partly composed of SALL4-positive germ cell-like cells did not indicate any specific differentiation in immunostaining . Histopathological analysis of the background stomach revealed chronic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia and negativity for Helicobacter pylori. There was no dysplasia around the gastric tumor. +Approximately 1 month following the post-gastrectomy, a chest CT showed a ground glass opacity in the inferior lobe of the patient’s right lung; after 6 months, the lung lesion grew, and therefore the patient underwent a right lower lobectomy. Histopathology of the resected tumor indicated a lepidic growth pattern rather than a gastric tumor metastasis. Further examination revealed that the tumor was a primary lung adenosquamous carcinoma with a well-differentiated lung adenocarcinoma component, positive for thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) on immunohistochemical staining, that was admixed with an SCC component . Fourteen months after the segmental gastrectomy, a flat, protruding lesion appeared in the anastomotic region of the patient’s remaining stomach portion. This lesion was identified as a local recurrence, and a total gastrectomy was carried out . Examination of the resected specimen from the local recurrence showed the growth of only the adenocarcinomatous component, without a sarcomatous component . The recurrent tumor extended into the subserosa, and we observed 1 very small site of lymph node metastasis . The patient started adjuvant chemotherapy by TS-1, and at the time of writing this report, the patient had survived for 3 months after the total gastrectomy.

Attack frequency varied from weekly during the summer to bimonthly in the winter; each attack lasted 4–6 hours. This attack was the most severe of the attacks he had experienced during the past decade. Although these paralytic attacks were associated with hypokalaemia, the aetiology had not been previously established, and the patient had not received any treatment, including potassium supplement, between attacks. Two years before this attack, serum potassium had been measured several times between attacks; the results of three of these tests were available and were 3.74, 3.69 and 3.63 mmol/L. +Because of the presence of severe hypokalaemic periodic paralysis, the patient underwent a left adrenalectomy after admission. Examination of the adrenal gland revealed a 1.1-cm benign nodule at the periphery of the gland with multiple cortical nodular hyperplasias. The patient did not have any complications during the perioperative period and laboratory results were normal (serum potassium .87 mmol/L, serum sodium 143.9 mmol/L, norepinephrine 452 ng/L, adrenaline 60 ng/L, aldosterone 12.24 ng/dL, cortisol 8.1 μg/dL, renin 2.13 ng/mL, creatine kinase 60 IU/L, lactate dehydrogenase 168 IU/L, alanine aminotransferase 20 IU/L, aspartate transaminase 16 IU/L, creatinine 81.3 μmol/L, blood urea nitrogen 8.01 mmol/L). He was discharged 4 days after surgery. During the next 3 months, while recovering at home, no paralytic attacks occurred. The patient then returned to work, and the acute paralytic crises soon recurred. A colour Doppler ultrasound examination did not show any abnormality of the right adrenal gland. The patient then asked for help from the Department of Medical Genetics. His serum potassium was monitored three times with a frequency of once per month with results of 4.12, 3.97, and 4.27 mmol/L, respectively.

These members refused examination to determine the presence or absence of UAH. +Because of the positive family history of periodic paralysis with potential autosomal dominant inheritance, the diagnosis of HOKPP was considered, and genetic testing of the CACNA1S and SCN4A genes was performed using Sanger sequencing of all exons and their splice sites. Consequently, the patient was identified as a heterozygote carrying a novel missense mutation, c.1582C > T, in CACNA1S (p.Arg528Cys) . In his family, the mutation was also detected in three other adult males with periodic paralysis (I6, II3, and III1) and in two asymptomatic females (II1 and III2). This mutation was absent in two male family members who did not have a history of symptoms (III3 and III4). Furthermore, the targeted Sanger sequencing did not detect the mutation in 130 adult male controls. +During the following 2 years, the patient maintained the same diet as before surgery.

On admission to the Emergency Department, she was in a coma with a consciousness level of 6 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (E3V1M2). Her other vital signs initially recorded in the Emergency Department were as follows: body temperature, 35.1°C; heart rate, 83 beats/min; blood pressure, 84/62 mmHg; respiratory rate, 12 breaths/min; and percutaneous oxygen saturation, 98% (on oxygen 10 L/min via a non-rebreather mask). A laboratory examination showed remarkable hypoglycemia with a blood sugar concentration of 8 mg/dL, anemia with a hemoglobin concentration of 8.2 g/dL, hypopotassemia with a potassium concentration of 3.4 mmol/L, thrombocytopenia with a platelet count of 128,000/μL, and coagulopathy with an international normalized ratio of the prothrombin time of 1.49 and activated partial thromboplastin time of 36.2 s. After the intravenous administration of 20 g of glucose and 20 mg of thiamine, her blood sugar concentration increased to 230 mg/dL, and her consciousness level returned to 14 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (E3V5M6). Transthoracic echocardiography showed akinesis of the heart apex and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%, consistent with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. She was obviously emaciated and malnourished but did not have a short neck or neck deformities. A computed tomography scan showed no vascular anomaly around the neck or thorax. A diagnosis of hypoglycemia-induced takotsubo cardiomyopathy [, ] with anorexia nervosa was made. She was admitted to the intensive care unit to receive close monitoring, correction of blood sugar and electrolytes, and continuous intravenous heparin administration (5000 U/day) for the prevention of thrombus in the akinetic ventricular apex. +On hospital day 2, this patient suddenly developed refractory ventricular fibrillation and suffered from cardiopulmonary arrest. A rigorous resuscitation attempt using chest compressions, electrical defibrillation, endotracheal intubation, and intravenous adrenaline administration was immediately initiated by intensive care unit physicians and nurses. Spontaneous circulation was restored in approximately 15 min. A CVC was required for continuous intravenous infusion of inotropic agents and vasopressin. The right neck was then sterilized with 1% chlorhexidine digluconate, and her head was tilted to the left by approximately 30°. On a pre-procedural ultrasound (US) examination, no vascular-like structures were visible behind the posterior wall of the right IJV. The right IJV was punctured by an experienced cardiologist under US guidance with the short-axis out-of-plane technique using an 18-gauge introducer needle contained in an Arrow triple lumen central venous catheter kit (Teleflex Medical Japan, Tokyo, Japan). Although the angle and depth of the needle appeared to be appropriate if the patient had not been emaciated, the right IJV was completely collapsed at the time of the US-guided puncture, and blood was not aspirated. Non-pulsatile dark-colored blood was smoothly aspirated during gentle withdrawal of the needle, and then a guide wire, dilator, and CVC were inserted without resistance. Immediately after the CVC placement, she developed enlarging swelling around the neck. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed massive contrast media extravasation around the neck and mediastinum , whereas the tip of the CVC was correctly placed in the right IJV. The patient was considered at a high risk for open repair. Therefore, transarterial embolization was planned. After 6-Fr short sheath introduction (Radifocus Introducer II; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) from her right brachial artery, a pigtail catheter (4-Fr; Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) was advanced into the brachiocephalic trunk with the support of a 0.035″ hydrophilic guidewire (Radifocus guidewire M; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan). Brachiocephalic artery angiography showed a characteristic “blush” appearance of the ruptured right thyrocervical trunk . After selective arterial embolization using a microcatheter (Masters Parkway Soft; Asahi Intecc, Aichi, Japan) and 33% N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, the extravasation completely disappeared and hemostasis was achieved. A schema of the operative course at the catheterization laboratory is shown in Figure S in the supplementary information file. After receiving 22 units of packed red blood cells, 20 units of fresh frozen plasma, and 20 units of platelet concentrate, the patient was returned to the intensive care unit where correction of body fluid imbalance, hypothermia, acidemia, and coagulopathy was continued. Secondary infection and multiorgan dysfunction developed approximately 2 weeks later, and the patient died from sepsis on hospital day 16. An autopsy was not performed because her family refused. +The search strategy was determined a priori by the survey team, which comprised anesthesiologists (YO and KS), an interventional radiologist (EU), emergency physicians (NN, IY, and JK), and a librarian (MJ, listed in the Acknowledgments). On June 2022, all reported cases of thyrocervical trunk injury associated with IJV puncture were searched for in the MEDLINE database from inception using the following keywords: “thyrocervical trunk” AND “internal jugular vein puncture”; “thyrocervical trunk” AND “central venous catheter”; “thyroid artery” AND “internal jugular vein puncture”; and “thyroid artery” AND “central venous catheter”. PubMed® was used to search the MEDLINE database. Cross-referencing was also performed using the reference list of articles included in this review. The following types of articles were excluded from the analysis: (1) they were not case reports or case letters, (2) they were not in English, and (3) they did not describe thyrocervical trunk injury associated with IJV puncture. This search produced 25 articles of which 10 relevant reports and cases were included in this review [–] . We reviewed the variables of age, sex, underlying medical conditions of the patients, number of punctures, use of real-time US guidance, characteristics of the operator, treatment, and outcome. +The clinical characteristics of thyrocervical trunk injury after IJV puncture described in this review, including our patient, are shown in Table . Seven articles described pseudoaneurysm of the thyrocervical trunk or its branches [–], three reported massive bleeding arising from the thyrocervical trunk or its branches [, ], and one reported CVC misplacement in the right inferior thyroid artery . The cases in the literature review consisted of four men and seven women, aged 33 to 71 years. More than 80% (9/11) of thyrocervical trunk injuries were associated with a landmark puncture without using real-time US guidance. More than half (6/11) of the thyrocervical trunk injuries were associated with multiple (≥ 2) attempts. Aneurysm or active bleeding arising from a thyrocervical trunk injury was successfully managed by surgical repair (4/11) or endovascular treatment (5/11). Endovascular embolization using 33% N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for the treatment of vascular complications associated with CVC placement has not been reported previously. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_170_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_170_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..474c9d9a00cd1b72d265c932cdf6d7b1fd64a7b5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_170_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 68-year-old man was suffered from severely symptomatic persistent AF for 9 years. +The patient reported a 9-year history of persistent AF . +The patient had a history of ventricular septal defect occlusion and he suffered from HS, which was proved by computed tomography scan of the vena cava that showed that the IVC was interrupted.

He was rescued by his coworkers and exhibited constant bleeding from the right side of his lower abdomen when the ambulance arrived. He was transferred to our emergency department with the wound compressed. On arrival, his vital signs were: respiratory rate 22/minute, blood pressure 97/65 mmHg, and pulse rate 140/minute. His Glasgow Coma Scale score was E4 V5 M6. On physical examination, there was instability of his hip and constant bleeding from the wound on the right side of his lower abdomen. Endotracheal intubation and fluid resuscitation were performed. Computed tomography (CT) of his body showed: splenic injury; sacrum fracture; separation of the sacroiliac joint; and fracture of the right pubis, ischium, and acetabulum. Vancomycin and meropenem were started to prevent infection. He was immediately taken to our angiography room for transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for pelvic hemorrhage. Angiography showed extravasation from the bilateral internal iliac arteries, which were embolized. His bilateral external iliac arteries showed thrombosis. A SAM® Pelvic Sling™ (SAM Medical, Wilsonville, OR, USA) was applied to his pelvis. Since complete hemostasis was not achieved after TAE, a vascular surgeon was consulted. Based on the view from the expanded wound on the right side of his lower abdomen, his right external artery was ligated in the emergency room and hemostasis was achieved. Gauze was packed with the wound sutured. Subsequent CT showed ischemia of his right lower limb. Despite the amount of time that had passed since the accident and the possibility of increased risk, due to his young age and the strong desire of his family to save his limbs, revascularization surgery was performed in the operating room. After crossover graft of the axillary-femoral artery, another hemorrhage was confirmed in his retroperitoneum, which was thought to be due to the external iliac artery injury. An additional crossover graft of the axillary-femoral vein was performed. Cystostomy and external fixation of the pelvic fracture were performed. On day 2, additional debridement of the right side of his lower abdomen was performed. Packed gauze was removed and a drainage tube was inserted. Contrast CT showed ischemia of his left lower limb and right anterior tibial artery. On day 3, he was referred to our plastic surgery department for blisters on his bilateral thighs and scrotum, which were thought to be a complication of TAE of his bilateral internal iliac arteries. At a conference meeting with the intensive care unit team and orthopedic surgery team, we concluded that amputation of his bilateral lower limbs was inevitable, since we prioritized saving life over limb. On day 8, a right above-knee amputation was performed. The decision to amputate above the knee was made because there was a possibility that the soft tissue could be covered with the intact skin of his thigh. There was also a risk of massive hemorrhage due to the pelvic fracture if we performed hip disarticulation. On day 13, left hip disarticulation and colostomy were performed. On day 17, bilateral ureterostomy was performed. On day 21, he underwent another debridement. We confirmed necrosis in his bilateral gluteal muscles and part of his quadriceps muscle, which were debrided . Because it was difficult to control the hemorrhage, we had to stop debridement, even though necrotic muscle was still visible. We left the wound open because of the extensive soft tissue damage . Repeated debridement was necessary because of the ongoing infection; we performed debridement a total of six times . Part of his ilium and acetabulum was left and the posterior ilium was fully exposed after the extensive debridement. On day 112, left anterolateral thigh flap was rotated posteriorly and fixed with a suture anchor with successful coverage of the exposed pelvis. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) was applied for the formation of healthy granulation tissue . On day 168, a full-thickness skin graft, which was harvested from his head, back, and abdomen, was applied to the rest of the ulcer. On day 230, complete epithelialization was achieved . Rehabilitation was started along with the use of prosthetics . He has made progress to the point where he can get on and off a wheelchair and move around independently. Currently, he lives at home with his parents. The reconstructed pelvis allows for good prosthetic fitting. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1736_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1736_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b5fef3da4d5440a0baa29e462527e8adb12a843a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1736_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 34-year old African-American woman presented with a giant perineal tumor associated with a 29-year history of keloid formation without recalled dermal injury or abrasion.

The point is that safe angiographic procedures for portal flow modulation are accessible postoperatively, such as splenic artery embolization for portal decompression and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) for boosting portal flow. +After LDLT, routine abdominal ultrasound screening revealed that portal flow was 60 cm/s on POD 1, then it kept as high as 30 cm/s along the 1st week . Ascites volume was initially below 1000 mL/day till 6th POD, however, increased markedly thereafter. Serum bilirubin levels showed a stepwise gradual increase that reaches 19.4 mg/dL on POD 9 . Platelet counts were lowest (42 × 103/μL) by POD 8 and INR levels kept below 1.5 along the whole clinical course. Considering this relatively insufficient graft volume along with the clinical and laboratory parameters suggestive of SFSS, then we decided to do splenic artery embolization (SAE) for portal decompression. The patient underwent arterial splenic angiography on POD 10 via percutaneous trans-femoral Seldinger’s technique. After angiographic assessment, partial SAE occluding the main branch of the splenic artery was achieved by trans-catheter coil embolization . Dynamic computed tomography comparing the spleen pre- and postembolization are also shown . +After SAE, PV flow significantly decreased to keep within 20 cm/s by US study . Additionally, serum total bilirubin levels gradually declined and ascites amounts decreased below 400 mL , and then, the abdominal drain was removed on POD 21. Platelet counts showed a stepwise increase thereafter. The patient was discharged on POD 28 in good condition without any infectious complications. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1761_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1761_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1f8641f0ec7d9a2112c964ff1c5436f67cb54b5e --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1761_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 16-year-old Chinese girl presented complaining of anemia and interval hematochezia.

Some histiocytes had phagocytized the encapsulated yeast-like organisms that were invading the epithelium. There were also scant neutrophils, but no micro-abscesses were found.

Empiric fosfluconazole treatment was discontinued after 10 weeks because the size of the residual mass lesion did not change. Amphotericin B syrup (1 mL, 4 times a day) was initiated and continued for 6 weeks instead of intravenous amphotericin B treatment because the patient was asymptomatic and could not take time off from work to be admitted to hospital for intravenous amphotericin B treatment. Although we considered additional and definitive resection after the patient was diagnosed with Prototheca infection, we decided against it because we anticipated that it would be difficult to remove the lesion with safety margins because the vertical margin was not clearly determined on macroscopic examination, and resection carried a risk of causing difficulties with speech and swallowing. The residual mass lesion did not deteriorate during the antifungal treatment or the post-treatment one-year follow-up period. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_180_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_180_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3666c94e62e2cc8dfda1c5eb203811b84a42efb9 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_180_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 55-year-old man with no significant past medical history presented to the ED for evaluation of right eye conjunctival injection, irritation, and painless visual field loss over the lower half of his vision in the ipsilateral eye.

The patient was managed for OP poisoning in ICU following which a psychiatric consult was sought. She gave a month’s history of persistent sadness of mood; loss of interest in previously pleasurable activities, easy fatigability; significantly reduced sleep, appetite, and minimal to none social interactions since around 03 months. She would at times exhibit bouts of anger outbursts without any apparent cause, followed by periods of extreme hypo-activity manifested by sitting alone in a particular posture. Gradually, the symptoms worsened and 5–6 days before she was brought to the hospital, she had become almost mute and would remain confined to her bed. It was observed by her family members that she was mumbling to the self along with hand gesticulations in the air and had to be consistently coaxed for eating/elimination needs. Patient firmly believed that people around her including family members were talking ill about her and were planning to somehow get rid of her. On further probing, patient justified her beliefs by considering herself as a burden on her family members in view of her long-standing non-remitting illness. She also acknowledged thoughts of self-harm as her last resort to put an end to her suffering. Then, on the fateful day, the patient consumed an unquantified volume of rat poison kept in the storehouse with an intent to die. She was found lying on the floor by family members smelling of garlic odour and was then brought to hospital. She gave past history of fracture left forearm with uneventful complete recovery (open reduction and internal fixation under GA) 16 years back. There was no family history of psychiatric illnesses. Personal history was characterized by anxious-avoidant traits with low stress tolerance. There was no history of any substance use in dependent/abuse pattern. On examination, her pulse was 86/min and blood pressure (BP) was 126/88 mmHg. She was ill kempt, had severe psychomotor retardation, mutism, depressed mood with flat affect, depressive cognitions of helplessness and hopelessness along with mood congruent delusions of reference and persecution. She denied any perceptual abnormalities in clear sensorium and had poor insight with deranged biorhythms. Relevant investigations including NCCT head, renal function tests, serum electrolytes, random blood glucose levels, electrocardiogram, liver function tests, and thyroid profile were within normal limits. An impression of a severe depressive episode with psychotic symptoms was made (ICD 10 F32.3). Patients and family members were counseled regarding treatment options and ECT was offered as the first choice, which was declined by patient as well as family members. She was then started on Cap Fluoxetine 20 mg OD along with Tab Olanzapine 5 mg HS and Tab clonazepam 01 mg HS. Her family members were counseled to be on vigilant round the clock monitoring, ensure patients compliance for medication, and a weekly review in the OPD. Patient however, did not show any significant improvement over the next 1 month despite gradually uptitrating her antidepressants and intensive Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) sessions. The patient was still having persistent sadness of mood with severe psychomotor retardation, active suicidal intent, and significantly impaired sleep and appetite. She was hence, again offered MECT as a treatment option, which was agreed upon by patient as well as family members. +The patient was now slated for MECT under general anaesthesia (GA). Pre-anaesthesia checkup (PAC) was done, in which a detailed history of the medications taken and past history was taken. Her son gave a history of OP poisoning a month back (38 days), and it was endorsed in the record. With proper advice, she was accepted in ASA Physical Status II (for mental illness on medication) for MECT under GA. +The patient was taken up for MECT. The patient had stable hemodynamics. Patient weighed 62 kgs, and was premedicated with Inj Glycopyrolate 0.2 mg, Inj Midazolam 1 mg, Inj Propofol 70 mg and a subminimal dose of Inj Scolene (15 mg, ie < 0.3 mg/kg) due to the prior history of OP poisoning. +MECT was given by the psychiatrist after complete muscle paralysis with a current constant machine. After GTCS, the patient was oxygenated by bag and mask ventilation. However, the patient did not resume spontaneous breathing even after 10 min. The expected time to return of spontaneous breathing after a full dose of succinylcholine is 9–11 min . Despite the minimal dose of succinylcholine that was administered in this case, and having an adequate time gap since the episode of poisoning (38 days), the patient regained spontaneous breathing only after 3 h. Hemodynamics were stable throughout. Her ABG was done to assess status and all values were within normal limits. On the day of the procedure, there was no ventilator readily available in the ICU to handle this contingency, since such a complication is not anticipated routinely. Hence, the patient was ventilated using an i-gel and bag ventilation with occasional boluses (10 mg) of Inj Propofol. After the patient was fully conscious and regained full sensory and motor function, she was kept admitted for 24 h under observation in the HDU. She was asymptomatic throughout and was discharged the next day. Her psychotropic medications (as mentioned earlier) were continued, excluding Clonazepam. The subsequent 06 MECTs (every third day) were administered using alternative muscle relaxants pancuronium following which she had significant improvement in her mood symptoms without any side-effects/complications. She was then continued on medications along with CBT and was advised weekly OPD reviews with the psychiatrist. +To rule out any other cause and confirm diagnosis of suxamethonium apnea, her serum butyrylcholinesterase were checked, and the levels were as low as 240 u/l (normal reference range is 5900 and 13,200 u/l) . Dibucaine and fluoride numbers were not analysed (due to lack of testing facility). Her family was also investigated to rule out genetic involvement, and their levels were within normal limits.

The fundus examination showed peripapillary atrophy, glaucomatous neuroretinal rim loss (cup/disk ratio 0,7) and a full thickness macular hole in his right eye. The patient underwent an ab-interno gel stent implantation in the upper nasal quadrant (Xen45, Allergan) after a subconjunctival injection of mitomycin-C (0,1 ml 0,02%). After hydrating the incisions, 0.1 ml of 1% cefuroxime was injected in the anterior chamber and 4 mg/1 ml of dexamethasone phosphate subtenon (Decadron®, Farmaceutici Caber SpA, Italy).

At the AS-OCT (AngioVue®, Optovue, Fremont, CA, USA) the conjunctival bleb appeared flat and non-functional, and the clot stood out as hyperreflective material which we presumed to be fibrin, occluding the internal end of the stent . +Lysis of the fibrin clot was attempted with YAG-laser (1,1 mJ of power), but the tube remained occluded and the IOP elevated. Therefore, an ab interno revision of the gel stent was performed. +A surgical procedure was performed according to the following steps after obtaining written informed consent from the patient.After application of topical anesthesia with the usual sterile conditions in the operating room, one paracentesis site was created at 90° with respect to the tube (approx. at 10 o’clock) by using a 15° Knife (Stab 15° Safety Knife, Surgistar, California) Trypan blue (Vision Blue, DORC international, BV Zuidland, Netherlands) was injected into the anterior chamber to stain the clot and to verify the extension of tube occlusion. Viscoelastic was introduced in the anterior chamber and a careful fibrin clot removal was attempted with a 25-gauge inner limiting membrane (ILM) forceps (Revolution DSP 25+ Serrated Forceps, Alcon-Grieshaber, Fribourg, Switzerland); however, the clot was strongly adherent to the tube end, and it did not clear. A second paracentesis site was created at 90° with respect to the Xen tube position (approx.at 4 o’clock), and a 25 G straight vitreous scissors (Revolution DSP 25G Curved Scissors, Alcon-Grieshaber, Fribourg, Switzerland) was inserted to snip the proximal end of the Xen tube (a small segment of about 0,5 mm length), flush to the ILM forceps grabbing distally the tube. The flexible nature of the stent required a two-handed technique in order to both immobilize and truncate the end of the stent. The viscoelastic and the excised tube fragment were then removed, and the AC was irrigated with balanced salt solution (BSS) to induce subconjunctival bleb formation. The drainage efficiency was further verified by trypan blue injection into the AC.

The bone marrow (BM) presented: hypocellularity with a granulocytic maturation arrest and micromegakaryocytes without fibrosis. BM immunophenotyping using the EuroFlow panel and settings showed granulocytic maturation blocked with the absence of CD10 expression in mature neutrophils, together with CD13 and CD64 overexpression in promyelocytes and in the whole granulocytic maturation, respectively. Further, both monocytes and neutrophils abnormally expressed CD56 . The cytogenetic analysis by G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization showed: 46,XX,t(3;8)(p26;q21)c [25] (A). The patient was classified as cMDS with low blasts (cMDS-LB) . Prophylactic antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin was initiated in May 2010.

In 2014, the patient had clinical worsening with marked hypoplasia of all hematopoietic lineages, a decrease in G:E ratio (2:1) with megaloblastic changes in erythroid cells lineage, and the presence of micromegakaryocytes. Immunophenotyping showed: granulocytic and erythroid maturation blocked and excess of blasts (5.4%) featuring a cMDS with an increased blast (cMDS-IB). Progressively, clinical evolution had been getting worse with very severe neutropenia (<0.2 × 109/L) without response to GCSF. In 2018, the patient had granulocytic maturation with intense blockage, more erythroid cells, dysplastic megakaryocytes, and 8% of myeloid blasts, characterizing the progression of the disease. At this time, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) was indicated. Then, search in the family identified the father as a donor for aHSCT.

Attempts to remove the cannula at the bedside failed due to immobility of the cannula. Ultrasound of the right neck was unremarkable, so he was taken to the hybrid OR where both TEE and fluoroscopy were unrevealing.

The cannula was freely mobile to the level of the first rib and clavicle and was not obstructing the vein. An upper sternotomy, confined to the manubrium, was performed and the superior vena cava and proximal jugular vein were dissected revealing a 2 cm segment of the distal SVC and proximal jugular vein that was densely sclerosed and adherent to the cannula. Proximal and distal control of the vasculature was established, and the vessel was opened across the adherent area at the level of the innominate vein. The cannula was then able to be withdrawn without difficulty. There was no evidence of thrombosis, scarring or local inflammation at the site of cannula adhesion. The distal SVC was repaired to the level of the innominate vein entry to the SVC to ensure good drainage, however, due to the severe sclerosis and damage to the jugular above the innominate, the vein was ligated proximally and distally.

A right inguinal bulge was noted, and there was no lower limb edema. CT showed bilateral common iliac aneurysms , and the internal iliac artery had a maximum diameter of 8 cm . An AVF was not detected on CT, and chest radiography did not show heart or lung disorders. Emergent laparotomy was planned for the aneurysm rupture. +Preoperatively, his arterial pressure was stable with a systolic pressure of approximately 100 mmHg; however, there was a characteristic hemodynamic change , with pressure shifting between 95/48 mmHg and 85/25 mmHg for one or two heartbeats out of five beats, with normal sinus rhythm. +Anesthetic induction was successful. The detection of high central venous pressure (CVP) coincidently with reduction of arterial pressure indicated the presence of an AVF. During the surgery, his systemic hemodynamic condition worsened . The CVP was initially 9 mmHg; however, it increased to 20 mmHg. His arterial pressure shifted frequently, and it reached a plateau of 60/50 mmHg. Urgent laparotomy and impetuous aortic clamping resulted in quick hemodynamic recovery, and the CVP reduced to approximately 6 mmHg. The right common iliac artery aneurysm showed a communication with the right common iliac vein. Therefore, he underwent aortobifemoral graft replacement, and no complications were noted. Postoperatively, he was not diagnosed with any connective tissue disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfan’s syndrome. +We presented a case of acute aneurysmal rapture into the iliac vein. Sometimes, a definite diagnosis of an AVF associated with a SIA is difficult preoperatively because there might not be enough symptoms and time for diagnosis . An AVF associated with an AAA has the following triad of symptoms: congestive heart failure, continuous abdominal bruit, and a pulsating abdominal mass ; however, these symptoms are noted in only 20–50 % of reported cases . An AVF associated with a SIA might show lower limb edema as an additional feature; however, many cases do not have hemodynamic symptoms [–]. Definite diagnosis of an AVF offers advantages for surgical and anesthetic management. +Arterial pressure shifts rarely occur in a clinical situation. In the present case, these shifts indicated that an AVF was present and that the shunt was about to having a high flow. These hemodynamic changes could be explained by pooling of the transient increased shunt flow to a high-capacitance venous circuit and a decreased in preload, which can produce low arterial pressure at the next heartbeat. Simultaneously, an increase in venous return raised the blood pressure following a downward shift in the blood pressure. We hypothesized that the mechanical compression of a huge aneurysm should occlude the AVF and the fistula would appear by changing of lower limb posture, high blood pressure, or pulse of the aneurysm itself. The shift disappeared during the operative preparation, indicating that shunt dilation due to anesthetic agents and muscle relaxants decreased peripheral resistance, including aneurysmal compression at the vein. +CT has been recommended to determine the subtypes, sizes, and complications of aneurysms [, –]. CT can contribute to the detection of an asymptomatic AVF associated with a SIA [–]. Although our case had hemodynamic catastrophe, the CT findings in our case were much fewer than the findings presented in previous reports. We were unsure of the presence of an AVF preoperatively because the dilated vena cava, which was not enhanced in the arterial phase, appeared to be apart from the aneurysm and the iliac veins were indistinguishable from the hematomas on CT. An asymptomatic aortocaval fistula due to abdominal aneurysmal compression and an ilio-iliac AVF associated with a huge common iliac aneurysm have been reported. Therefore, a huge iliac aneurysm could push the iliac vein aside and occlude the shunt easily. Postoperatively, we detected the enhanced left paravertebral vein and the left ascending lumbar vein on arterial-phase CT, and these were the only indications of the presence of an AVF on CT. The enhancement was noted at only the left paravertebral vein, although the laceration of the AVF was located at the right common iliac vein. The huge aneurysm obstructed the left common iliac vein and resulted in arterial inflow to the contralateral side. This supported the hypothesis that the aneurysm decreased shunt flow by compressing the adjacent vein. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2047_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2047_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fb5df5c2d81c6974c270c1382e617eadd8c72755 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2047_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 53-year-old man reported to the emergency room with a 2-day history of sudden-onset left chest pain radiating to his left back.

Her current medical therapy included oral anticoagulation (apixaban 5 mg twice daily) in addition to diuretics and iron supplementation. She developed chronic anaemia due to active intestinal angiodysplasia with recurrent transfusion requirements once or twice each month. Her CHA₂DS₂-VASc score was 3 and HAS-BLED score was 3. Investigations ruled out other causes of anaemia, including haemolytic anaemia and paravalvular leak. The patient presented with two biological protheses (VHD) without active rheumatic valve disease and, as a result, may be a candidate for LAAc. +Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed spontaneous contrast in the LAA without formation of a thrombus (see , ). The ridge diameter was 28 mm. One centimetre inside the LAA, the maximum landing zone diameter was 22 mm. The shape of the LAA was tortuous and difficult to assess. Although the LAA had an initial angle like a chicken wing, pre-operative computed tomography (CT) revealed an unusual LAA morphology that was horn-like in shape (due to a vertical upward axis) (see , ) with an inferior implantation and a superior axis, with the ostium close to the mitral prosthesis ring . +After written informed consent, a first procedure was performed using a standard left femoral venous approach.

Simulation was then performed from inferior and superior access points , and with different LAA occlusion devices (see , and ). Excessive sheath kinking was demonstrated with an inferior approach, but successful deployment was feasible using a superior approach (see , and ). +Transseptal puncture (second procedure) (see , ) was performed using a right jugular venous approach under TEE guidance (see , ). Apixaban was discontinued 72 h before the procedure and 2000 IU unfractionated heparin was administered after jugular puncture and reduced to 100 IU/kg after transseptal puncture with monitoring of activated clotting time to achieve >250 s during the procedure. A Swartz SL0 sheath (Abbott, Illinois, USA) and a BRK-1 XS Series transseptal needle (Abbott) were used. Safe access to the left atrium was achieved by advancing a 0.014 stiff coronary wire Iron Man (Abbott) through the BRK-1 XS needle and placed in contact with inter atrial septum connected to radiofrequency. The sheath was then advanced in the left atrium over the needle and Iron Man wire. The SL0 was exchanged for the single-curve 14Fr delivery sheath over an Amplatz Super Stiff guidewire placed into the LAA. Deep and safe advancement of the delivery sheath was performed over a pigtail catheter and the Amplatz Super Stiff guidewire until proper depth was achieved. Proper sheath alignment (see , ) without kinking was obtained allowing successful implantation of a Watchman FLX 31 device in stable position without residual leakage (see , ).

Imaging demonstrated complete LAA occlusion and correct placement of the device along the LAA superior axis as predicted by the simulation procedure, with an adequate compression and no residual leak ( and , ). TEE follow-up confirmed there was no leakage around the device. After 9 months’ follow-up, there was no need for further transfusions, the patient’s pulmonary pressure and functional class had improved, which was attributed to the withdrawal of blood transfusion-related volume loading, as well as the cessation of repeated post-transfusion inflammatory responses and the favourable effect of normalized iron stores. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2074_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2074_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..535bbbd6deaf03cd718bd4aea8a9c20193c357a1 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2074_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +An 85-year-old Chinese woman with underlying hypertension, dyslipidemia, and a previous history of right total knee replacement surgery seven years earlier presented +with painful right knee swelling, accompanied by pus discharge, for three months.

The rest of the physical examination was normal. +Biochemical tests were performed and initial laboratory test results were as follows: serum calcium: 10.8 mg/dL (range: 8.5 - 10.5 mg/dL); phosphorus: 2.4 mg/dL (range: 2.9 - 5.1 mg/dL); iPTH: 2876 pg/mL (range 15 - 65 pg/mL); 25-hydroxy vitamin D3: 13.76 ng/mL (range 15 - 65 ng/mL); thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): 3.11 µIU/mL (range 0.51 - 4.34 µIU/mL); and alkaline phosphatase (ALP): 7410 IU/L (range: 180 - 1200 IU/L). While PHPT could be associated with other endocrinopathies, the complementary evaluations, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and prolactin measurements were done . +The plain pelvic radiography demonstrated a left femoral neck fracture. Spine radiography displayed wedge fractures at thoracic and lumbar spine levels . Bone mineral density (BMD) showed low bone density (lumbar spine's Z-core: -3.7). According to the above-mentioned test results, including elevated PTH, borderline high serum calcium, decreased phosphorus, and elevated ALP, primary hyperparathyroidism was considered as the most probable diagnosis. +Dual-phase sestamibi scintigraphy was performed for the patient after intravenous (IV) injection of 540 MBq of 99mTc-MIBI. The early scan images (at 20 minutes) revealed high thyroid uptake in the right lobe with a suppressive effect on the left side. Increased radiotracer uptake was seen in the right lobe without proper washout on delayed images, which was higher and larger than is expected with PAs . A thyroid scan was also done two days later, after IV injection of 185 MBq of 99mTc from the anterior view to rule out a thyroid nodule. This scan revealed a focal decreased uptake in the upper pole of the right lobe, which was smaller compared with the finding of the parathyroid scan . The discrepancy between the two scans led to further investigation into the underlying pathology. Neck ultrasound revealed an enlarged right thyroid lobe compatible with intra-lobar necrosis and echogenic regions with the approximate size of 20 mm compatible with the parathyroid gland ( and ). +The patient was referred to an experienced surgeon for neck exploration and parathyroidectomy. She underwent open surgery. The parathyroid mass had infiltrated to the surrounding thyroid tissue; hence, right thyroidectomy, isthmectomy, and right inferior parathyroidectomy were performed. The remaining parathyroid glands were examined during the operation and were normal. She experienced hungry bone syndrome postoperatively, which was managed appropriately. Finally, serum calcium and iPTH levels decreased to a level of 8.7 mg/dL (8.5 - 10.5 mg/dL) and 24 pg/mL (15 - 65 pg/mL), respectively. The operative phosphorus level was 2.3 mg/dL. +Gross histopathologic examination revealed a well-defined cream-colored mass measuring 2.5 × 1.5 × 1.0 cm. IHC helped with the confirmation of diagnosis . +Histologic examination showed uniform chief cells presenting as nodules and sheet growth with proliferated blood vessels that were separated by a broad fibrous capsule from the adjacent thyroid tissue. The tumor had invaded the capsule and blood vessels. IHC staining for CD34 confirmed vascular invasion. IHC was also diffusely positive for CK in the tumor and tumor cells attached to endothelial cells. Ki67 was also positive in 2% - 3% of tumor cells. However, other markers, such as CD45, thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), and Pax5 were negative (-). +Whole exome sequencing (WES) study was done for the assessment of familial hyperparathyroidism and MEN1. The genetic study demonstrated no mutation in CDC73 and menin genes. However, there was an incidental mutation in the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene. +We performed an extensive search using different databases, including Medline, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar to find all published cases of PC in children and adolescents. We used the following combination of keywords: parathyroid carcinoma or parathyroid cancer or parathyroid neoplasm or parathyroid malignancy, and pediatrics or child or adolescent or boy or girl. We could find 16 papers reporting 17 cases of pediatric PC from 1972. summarizes the published papers. +According to these reports, the male to female ratio was 0.6. The youngest and oldest patients were 8 and 16 years old, respectively. The most common initial presenting symptoms were related to hypercalcemia, including anorexia, vomiting, polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, bone pain, and renal calculi. Sixty percent had a palpable neck mass. Nearly 50% had skeletal involvement, including fracture and deformity. Only three patients had experienced weight loss. Pancreatitis was a rare condition diagnosed in one case. Nearly 20% had metastasis, most common sites were lung and cervical lymph nodes, and all cases with pulmonary involvement had experienced relapse and hypercalcemia after the initial operation. The range of serum calcium and iPTH was 12 - 20.7 mg/dL and 300 - 8638 pg/mL, respectively. IHC had been reported in two cases, which were both positive for parafibromin . Three cases had deletion mutation of CDC73, and another case was negative with regard to menin gene mutation. Three patients had a positive family history of primary hyperparathyroidism. There was no predominant tumor location site at the neck. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2093_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2093_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2f138091bf68eb0d3a8583af90c7149dc3a04041 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2093_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +We present the case of a 72-year-old female GBC patient, who was admitted to our hospital due to chest tightness in September 2018. +After examination, GBC was found to recur in situ, invading the duodenal descending part and causing intestinal fistula and hepatic colon adhesion.

For five years prior, she experienced symptoms of recurrent oral ulcers and ocular findings (panuveitis with cystoid macular oedema). She had been first treated with steroids for four years before they were stopped 11 months prior to presentation in view of bilateral posterior subcapsular cataracts, hypertension and weight gain (weight of 94.5 kg (BMI 37.4) around the time steroids were stopped compared to her baseline of about 70 kg, Table ). She had been on methotrexate for two and half years before a change to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) two months prior to presentation. She was also on adalimumab for the last two years. However, her ocular disease (inflammation and oedema) was not well-controlled, suggesting inadequate immunosuppression. Other than calcium and Vitamin D, there was no supplemental medication use including traditional medications. +Two weeks prior to current presentation, she had developed gradual onset of holocranial headache, of pressing character, moderate to severe intensity, without postural variation lasting one week which then resolved. There was no nausea or vomiting, new visual disturbances, or other focal neurological deficits. Systemic review was unremarkable for symptoms of infection, sleep apnoea, urinary or bowel disturbances, new arthralgias, orogenital ulcers or recent vaccination. There was no recent weight gain, with her weight actually having dropped 6 kg (BMI now 34.9) over the last nine months . At a routine review, asymmetrical disc swelling was detected (optical coherence tomography retinal nerve fibre layer (OCT RNFL) disc thickness 331 μm and 194 μm on right and left respectively) (normal is 102 ± 7 μm) . Humphrey’s visual field testing showed an enlarged blind spot bilaterally with normal confrontational testing. There was a right eye grade 1 relative afferent pupillary defect. Neurological examination was unremarkable with regards to cranial nerves, tone, reflexes, power, sensation, and cerebellar function. Contrasted MRI of the brain, orbit and venogram was normal. There were no radiological features of IIH such as flattened optic discs, tortuous optic nerves, enlarged Meckel’s caves, empty sella or acquired tonsillar ectopia. There were also no orbital or intracranial lesion, enhancement, hydrocephalus, or venous thrombosis. Lumbar puncture (LP) showed an opening pressure > 40 cmH20, 151 leucocytes (mainly lymphocytic) without erythrocytes, glucose 2.7 mmol/L (capillary glucose was 7.4mmol/L) and protein was slightly raised at 0.56 g/L. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) screen for bacteria, viruses, tuberculosis, fungi, cryptococci was negative. CSF flow cytometry showed large B cells. CSF cytology did not show malignancy. Serum biochemistry, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, inflammatory markers, angiotensin converting enzyme levels were normal. +The impression was that of a lymphocytic meningitis with severely raised intracranial pressure (ICP), on background of BD. Given uncertain etiology and potential morbidity, the treatment approach was broad. She was covered with antimicrobials until the infective screen returned negative. As an inflammatory, possibly autoimmune process related to her BD could not be ruled out, her immunosuppressive treatment was consolidated with initiation of prednisolone 60 mg OM whilst adalimumab and MMF were held off. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) was considered as a differential given significantly elevated pressures and the patient’s body habitus; and she was empirically treated with oral acetazolamide. She was initiated on a dose of 250 mg thrice daily, with plans to up-titrate to IIH treatment dosing of 500 mg twice a day, and even higher if indicated. +A targeted second LP was repeated six days later in view of large B cells in previous CSF flow cytometry. It showed an opening pressure of 36.5 cm H20 and resolution of raised protein (0.29 G/L). The cell count was not rechecked. Flow cytometry did not show clonal proliferation. +After an initial improvement in disc swelling, the prednisolone was downtitrated (refer to Table ). The acetazolamide had to be stopped due to metabolic acidosis. An LP was once again repeated which confirmed there was no clonal proliferation. Opening pressure was 36.5 cm H20, however there were no elevated CSF leucocytes or protein. +The differential diagnosis at this point included an autoimmune cause possibly NeuroBehcet’s (NB)-related inflammatory process and IIH. The diagnosis of IIH was mainly supported by her obese habitus. However, compared to nine months prior to her presentation when her BMI was at its peak and her steroids had been also stopped, at the time point when she eventually presented her BMI had dropped 2.5 points and had been on an overall downward trend. This downward weight trend was not supportive of a new development of IIH). Furthermore, the headache was not prominently associated with the raised ICP, lymphocytic meningitis is inconsistent with IIH, and imaging was not supportive of IIH. Nonetheless she had persistent disc swelling (OCT RFNL 177 and 163 μm) and raised ICP. Given the lack of alternatives, she was re-trialed on acetazolamide at a low dose, which was subsequently increased. She was restarted on adalimumab and MMF which were then uptitrated, whilst prednisolone was weaned off. +Ten months after her initial presentation, she complained of daily headaches, occurring in association with bilateral mildly limited abduction, orogenital ulcers and left eye uveitis, again suggesting inadequate control of the underlying BD. A LP was performed showing an opening pressure was 41 cmH20 but CSF was otherwise bland (protein was 0.33G/L and 2 white cells). +The decision was made to treat her as NeuroBehcet’s-related intracranial hypertension without cerebral venous thrombosis (NBrIHwCVT) given her background of BD, initial lymphocytic meningitis, and lack of response to acetazolamide rather than IIH. Therefore, she was pulsed with steroids, followed by cyclophosphamide whilst non-steroid immunosuppressants were stopped. About a month after the prior LP, she showed an early response to high dose steroids and intravenous cyclophosphamide, with pressure decreasing to 34.5 cmH20. Headache, vision and OCTs (158/142) continued to improve as she was completing her cyclophosphamide with down-titrating prednisolone. However, she still had bilateral active ocular Behcet’s after 6 cycles of cyclophosphamide. After consideration, a novel treatment approach was initiated with weekly subcutaneous Tocilizumab. After a month of tocilizumab, the opening pressure had further declined to 30 cmH20, demonstrating apparent significant response to immunosuppressive therapy, further confirming the diagnosis of NBrIHwCVT. This was associated with gradually decreasing disc swelling OCTRFNL values over the next few months. The ocular BD also showed some improvement with regards to her retrolental inflammation and peripheral vasculitis. After seven months of tocilizumab, the ICP remained similar (31.5 cm H20). The maintenance of ICP at about 30–31 cm H20 even seven months later, and a decrease in OCT RFNL thickness points to efficacy of Tocilizumab in the absence of cyclophosphamide action. However, further attempts to bring down her ICP remains challenging despite trial of multiple immunosuppressant agents. Acetazolamide was also continued however, its effect on the ICP was likely limited given ICP remained unchanged at three times a day dosing. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2099_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2099_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3e78cc47ecfc5da55187bf1e967c312617f66b45 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2099_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 69-year-old woman was diagnosed with suspected GBC and peritoneal carcinomatosis and was referred to our hospital.

Variants of the next procedure were discussed with the patient – radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy with curative intent, and active surveillance. From the options offered, the patient chose radical prostatectomy, which was performed laparoscopically in January 2008. Subsequently, the patient was followed up. Over a period of 6 months, PSA levels gradually progressed from 0.08 to 0.22 ng/mL. With regard to the findings, postoperative radiotherapy to the pelvis and prostate bed was indicated. A total dose of 60.0 Gy was applied until November 2008. Grade 2 proctitis and grade 1 cystitis developed as adverse events. After the end of radiotherapy, the PSA level dropped to 0.02 ng/mL. Subsequently, the patient was followed up by the urologist. Due to PSA progression to 0.24 ng/mL in August 2012, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy was started.

His medical history included a laminectomy of L3-L5, performed 1.5 years before his current visit, because of spinal stenosis as a result of degenerative scoliosis. This procedure was followed by the collapse of the vertebral bodies of L2 and L3 with compression of the right nerve root and spinal stenosis at L3. There had not been any wound problems or other complications after the first procedure. Further medical history included bilateral total hip arthroplasty, revision of the left hip arthroplasty after 19 years, left total knee arthroplasty, hypertension, and ulcerative colitis (without medication). The physical examination showed a lumbar scoliosis with a painful and slightly reduced range of motion of the spine whereas the sacroiliac and hip joints showed a pain-free and normal range of motions. The knee and Achilles tendon reflexes were lower on the right side. Sensation and motor function were normal. The radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed degenerative scoliosis with the apex on L2-L3 with the collapse of the vertebral bodies of L2 and L3. Serum markers for infection, 2 months before the presentation at our clinic, were as follows: C-reactive protein (CRP) <1 mg/L, leukocytes 8.8 × 10 e9/L, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) 12 mm/h. To exclude a possible spondylodiscitis, as a cause of the sudden vertebral body collapse a positron-emission tomography-computed tomography scan was performed, which showed no clear signs of infection but severe degeneration at level L2-L3 . We planned a surgical decompression of L2-L3 on the right side with a posterior spondylodesis of L1-L5. During the ambulatory waiting time before surgery, the patient’s symptoms worsened. He was unable to walk and stand because of severe pain in the lumbar spine, without signs of neurological impairment. Four weeks before the onset of progressive symptoms, a broken molar was removed during a dental procedure. The patient interview revealed no alternative explanation for his worsening condition. He was admitted to the hospital, and the date of surgery was advanced. Serum infection markers showed a CRP of 174 mg/L, leukocytes of 11.9x10e9/L, and ESR of 128 mm/h. A new MRI scan showed the previously seen destruction of L2-L3, with an extensive fluid collection in the remaining intervertebral space, paravertebral myositis, and multiple abscesses . Based on the new clinical situation, adecompression of L2 and L3 and a posterior spondylodesis T12-L5 was performed obtaining deep cultures of tissue and the abscess in the disc space. Vancomycin and ciprofloxacin were started postoperatively. Weakness of the right quadriceps was observed in the first postoperative hours, and a CT-scan showed a medial position of both L4 screws. These were replaced by using a revision procedure in the same day. Unfortunately, the weakness persisted in the following weeks. All intraoperative cultures showed P. micra, and the antibiotic treatment was changed to penicillin intravenously (12 g daily) based on the sensitivity spectrum. The pain and infectious signs subsided, and the serum infection markers improved after 2weeks of antibiotics as follows: CRP 43 mg/L and leukocytes 9.3 × 10 e9/L. The antibiotic treatment was continued orally with clindamycin (600 mg three times daily) for 4weeks. At the last visit to the outpatient clinic, at 1 year after surgery, the patient reported only occasional backpain. Blood results as follows: CRP 8 mg/L, leukocytes 8.6 × 10e9/L, and ESR 32 mm/h.

As part of the underlying condition, our patient had marked nasal speech and mild to moderate right conductive hearing impairment. She had developmental delay and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She had a learning disability (intelligence quotient (IQ) 60) and delay in fine motor skills. There was no history of recurrent chest infections or gastroesophageal reflux. There was no family history of syndromic conditions or scoliosis. The scoliosis was first noted at the age of 13 years during an assessment of a chest infection by her pediatrician. No treatment was given at that stage and the deformity gradually progressed. At presentation to our clinic, she was post-menarche with height 137cm, arm span 144cm, body weight 27kg, and body mass index 9.8kg/m2. +On clinical examination, our patient had a severe double left upper and right lower thoracic scoliosis. Her thoracic spine across the more severe right thoracic curve was rotated to the right, with marked ipsilateral prominence of her rib cage and scapula and associated hypokyphosis. There was also thoracic translocation and listing of her trunk to the right, with associated waistline asymmetry and prominence of the left side of her pelvis. Her pelvis was level with no evidence of leg-length discrepancy. There were no skin or soft tissue abnormalities overlying her spine. Our patient reported no neurological symptoms. A neurological examination confirmed normal tone, muscle power, sensation and tendon reflexes in her upper and lower limbs, as well as symmetrically elicited abdominal reflexes. There were no upper motor neuron signs. Moderate ligamentous laxity was noted. +Radiographs of her spine during the initial assessment revealed a right thoracic scoliosis extending from T6 to L2, measuring 46°, and a left upper thoracic scoliosis extending from T1 to T6, measuring 30°. The rotatory component of the deformity resulted in marked thoracic hypokyphosis, which in turn significantly reduced the anteroposterior diameter of her chest, as well as the space available for her lungs. There were no congenital anomalies affecting her vertebral column or chest wall. There were also no features suggestive of congenital spinal stenosis, with the interpedicular distance within normal limits across all spinal segments. Her Risser grade was 0 with open triradiate cartilage bilaterally, indicating that she had significant remaining skeletal growth. +Because of the severity of her scoliosis, we decided to proceed with surgical correction. In the presence of the underlying syndromic condition, a pre-operative assessment was organized that included spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under general anesthesia as well as cardiac; anesthetic; ear, nose and throat; psychological; and respiratory reviews. We encountered extreme difficulty in concluding the pre-operative assessment because our patient’s anxiety, behavioral problems and poor cooperation resulted in severe delays. +The MRI of the spine demonstrated no intra-spinal anomalies, normal appearance of the pedicles and no spinal stenosis. There was no evidence of tracheal or bronchial obstruction. The psychological evaluation concluded that our patient was cognitively and emotionally younger than her chronological age and consistent with that of a child aged seven to eight years. The cardiac evaluation, including electrocardiogram and ultrasound, showed normal function. The respiratory review, including chest radiographs, capillary blood gas sample and sleep studies, demonstrated restrictive pulmonary disease with marked deterioration of lung functions, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 0.79L (38% predicted) and forced vital capacity (FVC) 0.88L (37% predicted). Pre-operative blood results were within normal limits. At the time of surgery, 10 months after her initial clinical presentation, the degree of scoliosis in the thoracic curves had progressed to 39° and 68° respectively. Both curvatures were significantly rigid on a supine maximum traction radiograph, with the flexibility index being 7% and 20% for the upper and lower thoracic scoliosis respectively. +Our patient was admitted to our hospital on the day of surgery and the plan was for her to receive a dose of midazolam as pre-medication before transfer to theater. However, she refused to take her pre-medication or go to theater, despite efforts and involvement of allied health specialists (specialist spinal nurse, learning disability nurse and health play specialist). This resulted in cancellation of the procedure. Additional psychological support sessions were offered to our patient and the surgery was re-scheduled with a different anesthetic plan. A peripheral intravenous access was secured when performing pre-operative blood tests that allowed us to administer propofol and remifentanil in the Surgical Admissions Unit. She was subsequently transported to theater with an oxygen face mask, where intubation was performed without complications. There were no difficulties during intubation related to our patient’s craniofacial anomalies.Our patient (now 15 years old) underwent a posterior spinal arthrodesis extending from T2 to L4 with the use of a pedicle hook, screw and single concave rod instrumentation . We performed subperiosteal exposure of the spine to the tips of the transverse processes with extensive facetectomies to mobilize the curve and allow for placement of the instrumentation and extensive decortication. This was followed by an interfacetal and intertransverse arthrodesis using locally harvested bone from the spinous processes and supplemented by allograft bone. Correction of the scoliosis was achieved through apical translation, rod de-rotation, and proximal or distal distraction of the construct. We monitored her spinal cord during the operation, recording cortical and cervical somatosensory as well as transcranial motor evoked potentials, and there were no problems. A nasogastric tube was placed at completion of surgery to allow early instigation of feedings. Our patient was transferred to our intensive care unit still intubated.Our patient was extubated on her first post-operative day and remained in our intensive care unit for two days. Feedings were achieved through a nasogastric tube with the addition of nutritional supplements. An underarm spinal jacket was applied for six months after surgery to provide additional support. Her total hospital stay was 17 days and overnight nasogastric feedings were continued at home. Post-operative radiographs showed satisfactory correction of both thoracic curves to 18° and 30° respectively and restoration of the sagittal balance of her spine . +At her latest follow-up, two years and three months after surgery, our patient had no complaints of her back and she had returned to her normal activities. She was skeletally mature and spinal radiographs demonstrated no loss of scoliosis correction, no non-union and no add-on junctional deformity above or below the levels of the fusion.

The past medical history was unremarkable. The cat lived indoors and was current on vaccinations and parasite prevention. On presentation, lung sounds were harsh, with no crackles. The cat exhibited inspiratory effort, with a respiratory rate of 44 bpm. The remaining physical findings were within normality. Thoracic radiographs identified moderate pleural effusion and lung edema. Echocardiography revealed asymmetric left ventricular myocardial thickening [interventricular septum end-diastolic thickness 5.7 mm (5 ± 0.7 mm) , left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness 7.5 mm (4.6 ± 0.5 mm) ] and severe left atrial dilation [left atrium-to-aortic root ratio 2.2 (1.29 ± 0.23) ]. The cat was hospitalized and treated with oxygen, furosemide (Dimazon 50 mg/ml, MSD Animal Health S.r.l., Segrate, Italy; dose: 1 mg/kg IV q6h), pimobendan (Vetmedin chew 1.25 mg, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Italia S.p.A., Noventana, Italy; dose: 0.2 mg/kg PO q12h), and clopidogrel (Clopidogrel ACT 75 mg, BB FARMA Srl, Samarate, Italy; dose: 18.75 mag/cat PO q24h). During hospitalization, blood was collected to assess the cat’s systemic condition (i.e., complete blood count, biochemistry, test for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus), leading to unremarkable results. The cat was discharged after 4 days with oral furosemide (Dimazon 10 mg, MSD Animal Health S.r.l., Segrate, Italy; dose: 1 mg/kg PO q12h) and an unchanged dose of pimobendan and clopidogrel. One week after discharge, the cat was represented with a recurrence of lung edema, despite the regular administration of drugs by the owners. Therefore, the dose of furosemide was increased (2 mg/kg PO q12h), and spironolactone was added (Prilactone next 10 mg, CEVA salute animale S.p.A., Agrate Brianza, Italy; dose: 2 mg/kg PO q24h). Despite increasing diuretic therapy and adherence to the therapeutic protocol by the owners, the cat presented an additional relapse of lung edema the following week. Suspecting an ongoing diuretic resistance, the dose of furosemide was further increased, and its route of administration was switched from oral to parental. As the owners were not able to administrate the drug intramuscularly, the subcutaneous administration of furosemide was considered. In light of such a change, owners were carefully instructed about the technique of subcutaneous administration. Only when it was conclusively certified that owners were able to administrate SF (Dimazon 50 mg/ml, MSD Animal Health S.r.l., Segrate, Italy) properly, this therapeutic protocol was started at the dose of 2 mg/kg SC q8h. Other cardiac therapies were continued at the previously reported doses. Thanks to the introduction of SF, the cat no longer presented a recurrence of lung edema. However, although the cat had never presented skin problems before and owners administrated properly SF, multiple well-defined circulars, crusted ulcerative cutaneous lesions (0.5–1 cm) associated with alopecia developed at the sites of furosemide injections (i.e., dorsal area of thoracic region) 2 weeks later . At that time, spot-on treatment with fluralaner and moxidectine (Intervet International B. V., Boxmeer, Holland) was prescribed, albeit without clinical improvement. Accordingly, a dermatological consultation was subsequently obtained. On physical inspection, neither signs of self-trauma due to pruritic allergy nor signs of trauma due to improper administration of SF were identified. Trichoscopic evaluation at the level of the aforesaid areas showed neither alteration of the hair shaft nor the presence of spores. Scraping and culture for dermatophytes tested negative. Cytological examination of impression smears and fine-needle aspiration obtained from crusted areas showed an inflammatory pattern characterized by neutrophils, eosinophils, and rare macrophages, without evidence of microorganisms. Owners declined skin biopsies. Given the above and considering that several differential diagnoses for inflammatory ulcerated lesions were unlikely in the light of anamnestic and clinical findings (e.g., thermal/electrical/chemical burns, skin trauma/infection/neoplasia/autoimmune disorder), it was hypothesized that the dermal lesions were primarily associated with the administration of SF. This hypothesis was further supported by the use of the Naranjo Algorithm Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale, which led to a score of 6/13 (i.e., “probable” reaction to the drug) . Nevertheless, considering the severity of the cardiac condition and the previous relapses of lung edema, we preferred not to return to oral furosemide. Rather, we decided to interrupt the ongoing injectable formulation and substitute it with an alternative brand (Lasix fiale 20 mg/2 ml, Sanofi S.r.l., Milano, Italy), maintaining the same dose. Moreover, the cutaneous lesions were treated locally with a lenitive local product for 1 week (Douxo S3 CALM pads, CEVA salute animale S.p.A., Agrate Brianza, Italy). The dermal ulcerations disappeared within 1 month . Subsequently, the cat experienced neither further skin problems nor recurrence of lung edema, and he is still alive at the time of manuscript writing (13 months after the initial presentation). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2509_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2509_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5c7014c1759dcafb8f8a08b85ede66af524192a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2509_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +The patient, a 29-year-old female, was admitted to the hospital with a 3-d postural headache. +Three days prior to admission, the patient had a headache after waking up in the morning.

Neurological examination findings were normal. He had slight anemia (hemoglobin of 10.5 g/dl), and other laboratory data were within normal limits. A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a 30- × 18- × 30-cm giant mass located between the stomach and transverse colon. It included a large cyst and solid component that showed enhancement (B).

The segmental radial strain was measured at 35% (normal values at 43.2 ± 4.5%), area strain at 24% (−36.5 ± 3.9%) (with adjacent segmental values of −47 and −56%), and circumferential strain at 18% (−30.3 ± 4.0%), while the longitudinal strain was preserved at −22% (−21 ± 0.6%) due to the hyperdynamic motion of the basal posterior wall . +Advanced mitral valve assessment was performed with the AutoMVQ method that provided the measurements of the leaflets and the annulus, using an apical four-chamber view, focused on the mitral valve with 4D zoom and a frame rate of >12 vps. By default, AutoMVQ creates the mitral valve model using a middle reference frame between end-diastole and end-systole. Since the requested information for MAD syndrome is the dimension changes between diastole and systole, we had to manually adjust the systolic and diastolic frames twice and provide two different mitral valve quantification (MVQ) models. A direct comparison of the systolic and diastolic models allows us to understand the dynamic annulus changes in MAD syndrome. In our patient, this method confirmed (1) the flattening of the saddle-shaped annulus during the systole and (2) the systolic expansion. In particular, the annulus area increased from 14.6 cm2 to 23.2 cm2, the perimeter from 13.7 cm to 17.2 cm, the anteroposterior diameter from 3.4 cm to 4.8 cm, and the commissural diameter from 4.2 cm to 5.5 cm. Meanwhile, the annulus height decreased from 11.4 cm to 7.0 cm . The disjunction arc of the valve was easily demonstrated by an “en face” 3D ventricular view of the mitral valve where the extent of the arc was assessed by measuring the circumference of the posterior annulus involved within the disjunction.

Immunohistochemically, it showed TTF-1 (+), Napsin A (+), CK5/6 (−), P40 (−), Ki-67 (<5%+), and AE1/AE3 (+). Surgery was not pursued due to concerns regarding age and tolerability. Enhanced CT scan revealed a 35 mm * 25 mm mass in the dorsal segment of the lower lobe in the right lung, accompanied by obstructive inflammation. Multiple slightly enlarged lymph nodes were observed in the mediastinum and hilum of the right lung (cT2N2Mx).

The lesion had a two-layer cellular structure consisting of a basal and luminal layer, and had a lack of papillary structures. The micropapillae occasionally formed by non-ciliated cells germinated and burrowed into the alveolar cavity. The luminal layer was composed of type II alveolar cells and club cells. However, ciliated columnar cells and mucous cells in some flat areas could still be identified .The appearance was similar to adenocarcinoma in some areas, with alveolar destruction and stromal widening. Through careful observation, we found that the main reason for the stromal widening was edema and inflammatory infiltration. Unlike adenocarcinoma, there was a lack of thick collagen fibers . Tumor cells lacked atypia, mitosis and necrosis. A layer of material resembling the basement membrane surrounded the basal layer. The most important feature was a continuous layer of basal cells around the luminal layer. +Immunohistochemical staining for p63, p40 and cytokeratin (CK)5/6 clearly showed the continuity of the basal cells .

A left calyx tumor was incidentally discovered during a routine medical examination, and a biopsy performed 1 month ago during ureteroscopy suggested a urothelial carcinoma. Past medical history includes intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the liver that was surgically removed 6 years ago. A preoperative evaluation was performed, and chest computed tomography (CT) revealed pulmonary thromboembolism in the left lower lobe. A lower extremity ultrasonogram showed no evidence of deep vein thrombosis, and arterial blood gas analysis and D-dimer were within the normal ranges. The patient was instructed to fast for 8 hours (nothing by mouth) before undergoing general anesthesia. Premedication involved administrating an intramuscular injection of glycopyrrolate (0.2 mg) and famotidine (20 mg). In the operating room, noninvasive monitoring devices were placed on the patient, including a blood pressure cuff, electrocardiogram, a pulse oximeter, a bispectral index signal device, and a quantitative monitor for neuromuscular blockade. General anesthesia was induced using 80 mg propofol, followed by 30 mg rocuronium for neuromuscular blockade after confirming no response to stimuli. Then, sevoflurane (1.7%) was used to maintain the appropriate anesthesia depth after intubation. Because of the risk of bleeding from renal artery surgery, an arterial line was inserted into the right radial artery. Furthermore, right internal jugular vein central venous catheterization was planned. Real-time ultrasound-guided catheterization was initially planned; however, the hospital’s portable ultrasonography device was in use in other operating rooms; therefore, a blind catheterization technique was used based on the patient’s anatomical structure without ultrasound guidance. The patient was positioned in the Trendelenburg position with the head 15° below the horizontal plane and tilted 40° to the left. The Bermuda triangle, an anatomical structure formed by the posterior margin of the sternal muscle belly of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the anterior margin of the clavicular muscle belly, and the upper margin of the clavicle, was clearly identified. The carotid artery pulse was palpated at the superior angle of the triangle and followed to the center of the triangle, where a 10 ml syringe connected to a 23-gauge finder needle was inserted perpendicularly to the surface while aspirating. The presence of dark venous blood was confirmed at a depth of 2.2 cm, and no pulsation was observed after separating the finder needle from the syringe. Then, the 18-gauge puncture needle connected to the syringe was inserted toward the nipple at a 75° angle from the skin while targeting the finder needle tip, and the aspiration of venous blood flow was confirmed. After removing the finder needle, a guidewire was inserted to a depth of 20 cm from the skin through the puncture needle without any resistance felt during the procedure. The puncture needle was removed while leaving the guidewire in place. Prior to inserting the dilator, the practitioner and colleagues, experiencing a sense of unease during the procedure, attempted to investigate the anatomy of the puncture site by utilizing ultrasonography to detect the previously inserted guide wire, prompted by their concern that the depth of the finder needle, measuring 2.2 cm, is deeper than observed in other patients, which contributed to their uneasiness. The guidewire was found to be located in a vein as which we presumed the vessel based on its location that was lateral from the common carotid artery and collapsibility when pressure was applied using the probe. However, a larger vessel presumed to be a vein was located superiorly and more laterally than the identified vessel. Real-time ultrasound-guided guidewire insertion was performed at the same view in this vessel using another central venous catheter kit. Both guidewires were left in place while the probe was tilted to visualize their paths, and it was confirmed that they were both descending toward the right brachiocephalic vein . The first guidewire was removed, and manual compression using sterile gauze was applied for over 5 min. No resistance was felt during the removal. The second guidewire was used to complete the central venous catheterization, and free regurgitation was observed at each port. The central venous pressure (CVP) measured using the central venous catheter was 15 mmHg. The surgery was successful, and the patient was transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit after extubation. A simple anterior-to-posterior chest X-ray (CXR) taken immediately after the surgery confirmed that the catheter tip was located near the right atrium, following the superior vena cava (SVC) . We reviewed the contrast-enhanced chest CT performed for preoperative evaluation and confirmed that the right internal jugular vein coursed laterally to the right common carotid artery on the axial view. A large vessel was also observed behind the common carotid artery and internal jugular vein, and it was traced upward and downward, confirming that it enters into the transverse foramen at the level of the sixth cervical vertebra and drains into the right brachiocephalic vein, consistent with the known course of the cervical vertebral vein. The same findings were observed in the coronary view . The radiologist indicated this vessel as the vertebral vein. After considering the ultrasonographic findings and the radiologist’s official reading, we confirmed that the vein that we had initially punctured was indeed the right cervical vertebral vein. On the third day after surgery, the central venous catheter was removed, and the patient did not exhibit any complications, such as bleeding, swelling, and neurological symptoms. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2806_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2806_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..165feddb4351182ff06220e9111334d38400dda7 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2806_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A healthy 41-year-old woman was referred to our center after the 22-week gestational ultrasound revealed short ribs and a possible craniosynostosis in the fetus on the second trimester ultrasound. After detailed genetic counselling, an amniocentesis was performed at 24 weeks to investigate the etiology. Array CGH was normal without any unbalanced chromosomal rearrangement, and so were FGFR2 and FGFR3 recurrent variant screening (to rule out FGFR related craniosynostosis syndromes), and the 7-dehydrocholesterol level (to rule out Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome). At 26 weeks, computed tomography confirmed short ribs with irregular ends but no craniosynostosis and overall renal cortex echogenicity was noted on ultrasound . The association of bone and renal abnormalities led to an initial diagnosis of a skeletal ciliopathy spectrum disorder such as Jeune syndrome (asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy). Pregnancy was then complicated by hydramnios requiring amniotic fluid drainage at 33 weeks, which triggered fetal bradycardia and the need for a caesarean delivery. At birth, the new-born male measured in the low normal range for gestational age with a weight of 1800 g (32nd centile), length of 43 cm (39th centile), and an occipitofrontal circumference of 30 cm (26th centile) without craniosynostosis. Soon after birth, he developed hypotonia and respiratory distress requiring oxygen and non-invasive ventilation. Except for a bell-shaped chest, the rest of his clinical examination was unremarkable. A chest X-ray showed a narrowed thoracic cage with short ribs and multiple rib fractures. Subsequently, a skeletal survey revealed diffuse osteopenia with coarse trabecular markings, subperiosteal bone resorption, cortical dualization and metaphyseal corner fractures . The initial laboratory evaluation revealed severe hypercalcemia (ionized calcemia: 1.66 mmol/l; reference range: 1.17–1.27), a slightly low phosphate level (1 mmol/l; reference range: 1–1.95), normal alkaline phosphatase levels (387 IU/l; reference range: 122–469), abnormal urinary calcium (calcium-to-creatinine ratio: 0.78 mmol/l; reference range: 0.2–2.0), and an increased PTH level (325 pg/ml; reference range: 15–65). The diagnosis of NSHPT was then suspected and confirmed by a phosphocalcic NGS panel which revealed the pathogenic heterozygous (PM1, PM2, PM5, PP2, PP3, PP5) variant c.554G>A p.(Arg185Gln) in the CASR gene (NM_000388.3). +Calcium metabolism tests and genetic screening were then requested from both asymptomatic parents. These analyses revealed hypercalcemia (total serum calcium: 3.32 mmol/l, reference range: 2.2–2.6 mmol/l), low phosphate levels (0.59 mmol/l, reference range: 0.84–1.4 mmol/l), low calcium-to-creatinine ratio (0.16 mmol/mmol, reference range: 0.2–0.6 mmol/mmol) and hyperparathyroidism (PTH: 42 pg/ml, reference range: 15–65) in the father who harbored the same heterozygous CASR variant. Mineral homeostasis (25-hydroxyvitamin D level: 24 ng/ml) and CASR sequencing were normal in the mother. The family history revealed that the paternal grandmother also had FHH discovered as a result of recurrent urinary lithiasis . Similarly, FHH affected various members of the paternal branch. +Initial therapy included hyperhydration, phosphate supplementation and a low-calcium milk formula. Hypercalcemia did not improve. Therefore, treatment with pamidronate (0.5 mg/kg intravenous on days 9 and 14) was started. After a moderate transient response to pamidronate, serum calcium levels subsequently increased and were associated with very high PTH levels (1671 pg/ml). Clinically, the patient had persistent restrictive lung disease caused by significant rib fractures requiring oxygen and analgesics. Therefore, after confirmation of the genetic diagnosis of NSHPT treatment with calcimimetics (cinacalcet) was initiated on day 22 at 0.5 mg/kg PO daily and progressively increased to 3 mg/kg in 2 doses. The cinacalcet dose titration normalized the PTH in 25 days but serum calcium remained at approximately 3 mmol/l . +Hyperparathyroidism control provided significant improvement in clinical signs. The patient was discharged on day 73, and oxygen therapy could be discontinued at 6 months of age. Psychomotor development and growth were normal.

The patient presented blisters, skin reddening and crust formation on the upper and lower limbs. There were also contractures and disabled movement in his hand joints together with a loss of a finger and toenails . The apex of the tongue and left palatine arch were covered by superficial ulcerations. During his hospital stay, performed laboratory tests did not reveal any abnormalities. A CT scan of the chest and abdomen showed a thickening of the esophageal wall at maximum to 7 mm on the level from the fourth cervical vertebra to the fourth thoracic vertebra . A probe of gastroscopy under sedation with benzodiazepine failed due to an esophageal stenosis. An attempt of examination with paediatric endoscope was also unsuccessful. A barium swallow test revealed a narrowing of upper esophageal lumen to 7 mm along the length of 4 cm together with two diverticula on the right side not emptying of contrast. During swallowing other two diverticula appeared which were emptying of contrast . A barium swallow test also showed a noticeable weakening of the esophageal mucous membrane. After the performed investigation the patient was qualified to endoscopic dilatation of esophageal stenosis and endoscopic management of diverticula. However, he did not agree to undergo this procedure during current hospital stay. In our unit the patient was treated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and prokinetic drugs administered intravenously, which caused an amelioration of esophageal discomfort. He was discharged in a good general condition with a recommendation of a diet based on soft consistency meals, oral PPI and prokinetic drugs administration and the next follow-up in a month. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2815_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2815_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6a3fee468658748b8211f8373a5506e13fb53f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2815_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 27-year-old HIV-positive Chinese Manchu male complained of intermittent headache, nausea, and vomiting (non-projectile vomiting three times in total) for two weeks in January 2022.

He was diagnosed with HIV infection five years ago and nadir CD4+ T-cell count was 79 cells/μL. He initiated ART with tenofovir, lamivudine, and efavirenz, but treatment failure occurred one year later with plasma HIV RNA 2.19 × 105 copies/mL and CD4+ T-cell count 14 cells/μL. The local doctor shifted the ART regimen to tenofovir, lamivudine, lopinavir/ritonavir without a genotypic drug resistance test, and his plasma HIV viral load was well controlled thereafter. Neurological physical examination showed no abnormalities. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presented bilateral multiple white matter T2-weighted hyperintensities especially in the FLAIR sequence , without T1-wighted enhancement or mass effect. Lumbar puncture showed high intracranial pressure, lymphocytic pleocytosis, and elevated CSF protein level . CSF HIV RNA was 774 copies/mL, while plasma HIV RNA was undetectable. The following blood tests all displayed negative results, including the T-cell enzyme-linked immuno-spot assay for tuberculosis, the syphilis rapid plasma reagin titer, Toxoplasma gondii IgG and IgM, cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgM, herpes simplex virus (HSV)1/2 IgM, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-IgM, galactomannan, 1,3-β-D-glucan, cryptococcus antigen, EBV-DNA, CMV-DNA. Besides, the CSF tests which detected acid-fast stain, India ink stain, cryptococcus antigen, culturing of bacteria and fungus, and CMV-DNA were also all negative. No other pathogens were confirmed by the next-generation sequencing in the CSF (using the MGISEQ-2000 platform in BGI PathoGenesis Pharmaceutical Technology, BGI-Shenzhen). The pathological phenotype of encephalitis was required, but the patient declined brain biopsy. CD8 encephalitis was suspected, and thus prednisone and glycerol fructose were prescribed empirically to reduce inflammation reactions in the brain. +One month later, the patient presented headache relief, and obvious improvement in MRI performance and laboratory tests in the CSF . Then, prednisone was tapered (60 mg daily followed by a reduction of 5 mg per week) and discontinued in May 2022. However, he complained of a headache relapse in June 2022. MRI showed the increased area of multifocal leukoencephalopathy . Moreover, increased HIV replication was observed in both CNS and plasma, and further HIV drug resistance tests of CSF and plasma (Sanger sequencing in Dongguan Medical Laboratory of Micro-scale and Presicion) presented identical results of major protease inhibitor (PI)-related mutations, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-related mutations, and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-related mutations . The encephalitis owning to CSF drug-resistant HIV escape was considered. Thus, ART regimen was switched to zidovudine (sensitive), lamivudine (highly resistant), and dolutegravir (sensitive). As well, prednisone 60 mg daily was restarted. One month after that, HIV suppression was achieved in both CSF and plasma , and MRI displayed moderate shrink of diffused white matter area .

His medical history included hypertension, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and refractory pruritus. He had lost approximately 10 kg of weight in 2 months and was referred to our hospital because of abdominal discomfort. At the time of consultation, his height was 174.8 cm, body weight was 56.5 kg, body mass index was 18.49; his vital signs were as follows: body temperature 36.1 °C, blood pressure 128/79 mmHg, heart rate at 77/min, and oxygen saturation at 97 % (room air). Hematological investigations performed on admission revealed carcinoembryonic antigen at 5.1 ng/mL, carbohydrate antigen19-9 at 0.1 U/mL, and carbohydrate antigen − 125 at 7.7 U/mL, indicating no increase in tumor markers. No abnormalities were observed in the blood tests. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a wide, shallow, depressed lesion from the cardia to the mid-body, with an ulcerated part, which we diagnosed as a type 3 tumor . In addition, approximately 40 mm of the entire circumference of the esophagus was invaded . The lesions were diagnosed in Group5 (por, sig). Based on the biopsy results, all lesions in the ulcer presented as a wide shallow depressed lesion in the mid-body and lesions at the esophagogastric junction. Upper gastrointestinal examination showed that, on the oral side, lesions had an irregular wall and poor progression up to approximately 40 mm from the esophagogastric junction. On the anal side, they extended around the mid-body . We found an ulcerative lesion near the cardia and suspected invasion at the depth of the muscularis propria (MP). Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed an irregularly thickened wall on the upper body and lesser curvature of the body, and an increase in the concentration of fatty tissue around the wall was also found in the mid-body . Therefore, the degree of invasion was determined to be at the depth of MP. There were no findings of suspected lymph node enlargement or metastases to other organs. Considering these facts, we preoperatively diagnosed gastric cancer as T2, N0, M0, StageIB (according to the UICC, 8th edition). We performed a total gastrectomy with abdominal esophageal resection, D2 lymph node dissection, cholecystectomy, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The proximal side of the invasive esophageal area (40 mm from the esophagogastric junction) was clipped as a marker preoperatively. Intraoperatively, it was confirmed that there was no cancer at the esophageal margin and that it was resected, including the clip. The excised specimen showed a shallow depressed lesion of 90×55 mm from the abdominal esophagus to the lesser curvature of the upper stomach, and a type 0-IIb + IIa + IIc lesion (according to the macroscopic classification of the gastric cancer) with esophageal invasion up to 30 mm from the esophagogastric junction . Histopathological findings showed that all widespread lesions were cancers that remained in the mucosa, with por2 being the majority and some sig being mixed. No submucosal invasion was observed, including in the ulcerated area . The pathological diagnosis was gastric cancer: T1a, N0, M0, and StageIA. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on POD 11. Five years since the operation, the patient is surviving without recurrence. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2833_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2833_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fdd5e25c1523dd492fa4e6581d6f9eeba950a494 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2833_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 53-year-old female patient presented with a 10-year history of enlargement of right heart cavities with mild elevation of pulmonary artery pressure and mild dyspnoea.

No signs of hepatosplenomegaly or lymphadenopathy were detected, and other systemic examinations were unremarkable. + +Diagnostic assessment and therapeutic interventions +Laboratory assessments, including complete blood count (CBC), blood biochemistry, urinalysis (UA), and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, yielded normal results. + +The initial spiral CT scan of the lungs, mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis with and without contrast revealed an enlarged heterogeneously enhancing solid mass located at the mid to lower pole of the left kidney, measuring 70 mm × 75 mm × 105 mm with tumor thrombosis extending into the left renal vein and IVC superiorly over a craniocaudal length of ~23 cm, terminating below the right atrium. In addition, mild hypodense fluid was noted in the pelvic cavity. Pulmonary findings revealed filling defects in the right main pulmonary artery and its segmental branches, consistent with pulmonary thromboembolism and a 7 mm ground-glass nodule detected in the left lower lobe (LLL) superior segment. No signs of appendicitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, diverticulitis, hydronephrosis, urinary stones, gastrointestinal obstruction, or free air were observed, and major vascular structures remained open without gross pathology in other abdominal or pelvic regions. + +Echocardiography showed normal systolic function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 55%. There was mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR), mitral regurgitation (MR), and pulmonary insufficiency (PI), with a mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) of 27 mmHg and a peak instantaneous pressure gradient (PIPG) of 17 mmHg. A large, rope-like, hyperechoic mass with tissue texture was identified in the inferior vena cava (IVC), measuring 14 cm × 2.7 cm. The mass protruded from the IVC into the right atrium, highly suggestive of massive vein thrombosis. + +With a possible diagnosis of renal tumor with extensive tumor thrombus into the inferior vena cava and right atrium, an open, left radical nephrectomy was performed by the urologist team, and then the cardiac surgery team performed IVC thrombectomy. During surgery, there was a huge intracardiac tumor (tumoral and fibrous in gross vision in the right atrium) that was resected, and then the IVC was evacuated from the tumor (extracardiac tumor) with cardiopulmonary bypass and abdominal exploration. The left kidney specimen, following radical nephrectomy, was preserved in formalin and submitted for pathological examination. + +Macroscopic examination of the left radical nephrectomy specimen revealed a 7 cm × 6.5 cm × 5 cm mass in the lower pole of the kidney with extension to the renal sinus.

Finally, the peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET/Ewing sarcoma) was diagnosed with 20% tumor necrosis. + +In the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study, translocation was identified at (11;22), indicating the presence of an EWSR1 gene rearrangement. This finding confirmed the final diagnosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). + +Differential diagnosis +On the basis of the clinical and paraclinical findings, the physicians considered a differential diagnosis that included a kidney tumor with thromboembolism in the superior vena cava (SVC), extending into the right atrium. + +Outcome and follow-up +The patient’s postoperative course was largely uneventful, aside from some minor incisional pain, which was well managed with analgesics. She was discharged 1 week after the operation in stable condition with appropriate follow-up care. She initiated systemic chemotherapy as part of her comprehensive treatment plan 2 months postoperatively. Given the prothrombotic risk associated with both malignancy and chemotherapy, she has remained on anticoagulant therapy since her initial admission. This regimen was carefully maintained throughout her chemotherapy to minimize the risk of thrombotic complications, ensuring optimal management of her condition. + +Adjuvant therapy +Following surgery, the patient was initiated on interval-compressed therapy with alternating cycles of vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (VDC) and ifosfamide/etoposide (IE), which was administered every 14 days with hematopoietic growth factor support. Our radiation oncology team indicated that there was no need for radiotherapy. The treatment demonstrated a favorable response, and the final management plan included an autologous stem cell transplant to consolidate the response. However, after 12 weeks of therapy, some adjustments were necessary owing to significant toxicity and the onset of cytopenia. To mitigate these side effects, doxorubicin was replaced with dactinomycin, and the duration of each cycle was extended from 2 to 3 weeks to accommodate the patient’s tolerance and recovery better. + +Spiral CT scan +At the end of the eighth cycle of chemotherapy, 4 months later, we evaluated the patient using spiral CT. Multislice CT spiral imaging before and after oral and intravenous contrast revealed normal findings in the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, heart, chest wall, liver, pancreas, spleen, right kidney, adrenal glands, aorta, IVC, retroperitoneum, bowel loops, stomach, bladder, and pelvic organs. The left kidney was absent owing to prior nephrectomy, and no lymphadenopathy, ascites, or abnormalities in the bones were detected. A chemotherapy port was noted on the left upper chest wall. All findings were stable compared with the previous multislice CT spiral. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3151_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3151_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..48a2548c38a1f4464c811ee9c479367cbd2e62b5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3151_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +History of Presentation +We report a case of a 73-year-old woman who was referred to us from an outside hospital because of progressive dizziness and exertional dyspnea. An echocardiogram revealed a large floating structure (27 × 17 mm) attached to the anterior mitral leaflet along with hypertrophy and massive calcification of the left ventricle. Notably, significant involvement of the midventricular septum was observed, leading to subvalvular left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. On explicit inquiry, the patient reported experiencing breathing difficulties during exertion in her youth. According to the patient, an ultrasound examination at that time revealed that her heart was enlarged. + +Medical History +The patient was known for coronary artery disease and had a history of ovarian carcinoma. She had undergone an adnexectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, and adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. + +Differential Diagnosis +Massive myocardial calcification is a very rare condition that manifests because of a range of different etiologies. In terms of cause, they are classified into metastatic and dystrophic. Metastatic calcification occurs as a result of elevated serum calcium levels and most commonly affects patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. Additionally, hyperparathyroidism, calcium and vitamin D deficiency, and oxalosis can also contribute to the development of myocardial calcifications. Dystrophic calcification arises from calcium deposits forming in necrotic tissue, which can be caused by a range of myocardial injuries such as myocarditis, myocardial infarctions, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, hemorrhage, endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF), and idiopathic mitral annular calcification (MAC). + +Investigations +In regards of the floating mitral valve structure morphologically, there was suspicion of a fibroelastoma or a vegetation, although clinically and microbiologically no evidence of an endocarditis was found. Because of the high risk of embolization in either case and because of the presence of hypertrophy-related LVOT obstruction as well as significant aortic valve stenosis, we decided to proceed with surgery for the patient. +Preoperatively, coronary angiography revealed no significant coronary stenoses in terms of the known coronary artery disease. However, during the examination, significant myocardial calcification observed echocardiographically was confirmed. Additionally, computed tomography (CT) of the heart was performed, revealing excessive calcifications of the left ventricular myocardium, with emphasis on the septum and apex. Furthermore, there were significant calcifications of the mitral valve annulus suggestive of caseous calcification of the mitral annulus. + +Management +During the intraoperative procedure, removal of the floating structure, decalcification of the anterior mitral leaflet, subvalvular myectomy with excision of a hypertrophic myocardial portion next to the calcification, and biological aortic valve replacement (BAVR) due to an aortic valve stenosis were performed. Histologic examination of the intraoperatively removed floating mitral valve structure revealed fibrin components, enclosed basophil granular structures, nucleated cells, and neutrophilic granulocytes, consistent with endocarditis. + +Regarding the myocardial calcification of the midventricular septum, histologic examination of the hypertrophed myocardium revealed endocardium and myocardium with significant scarring (which could be well visualized with Elastika-van-Gieson staining), intramural blood vessels without abnormalities, no inflammation, and cardiomyocytes with slight variation in nuclear size, indicating evidence of EMF and interstitial fibrosis. +Postoperatively, the patient was readmitted to our cardiology clinic. We continued the antibiotic endocarditis therapy in accordance with guidelines alongside postoperative care and discharged the patient in good clinical condition thereafter. + +Outcome and Follow-Up +Four years later, the patient was admitted to our hospital by her cardiologist. She presented again with increasing exertional dyspnea. On the transthoracic echocardiogram, we now observed an increasing left ventricular hypertrophy with a preserved left ventricular systolic function and a diastolic dysfunction. However, there was no gradient increase in the LVOT under Valsalva maneuver. In addition, we noticed signs of pulmonary hypertension with a systolic pulmonary artery pressure of 99 mm Hg. Furthermore, during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, right ventricular dilatation and impaired right ventricular function with a right ventricular ejection fraction of 29% were confirmed as a consequence of pulmonary hypertension. A follow-up CT of the heart revealed a significant increase in myocardial calcification. + +The patient also underwent cardiac catheterization. Coronary angiography ruled out progression of her known coronary artery disease, and right-sided cardiac pressures and resistances were determined during a right heart catheterization. During this procedure, the diagnosis of combined precapillary and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension was established, with a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 58 mm Hg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 26 mm Hg, and pulmonary vascular resistance of 8.4 WU. In the clinical context, we interpreted the combined precapillary and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension to be caused by the chronic severe diastolic dysfunction because of massive myocardial calcification of unclear etiology. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3186_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3186_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..11afb8bd1e51a0a0d51d6ea2781ff5aec8a16ac4 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3186_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +M.C.L.M., 16 years old, reported a history of productive cough for 7 days, with fever and progressive respiratory discomfort for 4 days.

We removed adaptor sequences and quality trimmed reads using the Fastx toolkit and then used a custom script to ensure that only read pairs with both mates present were subsequently used. Reads were aligned to hg19 with BWA 0.5.9 and indel realignment was done using the GATK . Duplicate reads were then marked using Picard and excluded from downstream analyses. We assessed coverage of consensus coding sequence (CCDS) bases using the GATK, which showed that all samples had >91% of CCDS bases covered by at least 10 reads, and >85% of CCDS bases covered by at least 20 reads. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and short insertions and deletions (indels) were called using samtools mpileup with the extended base alignment quality (BAQ) adjustment (-E), and were then quality filtered to require at least 20% of reads supporting the variant call. Variants were annotated using both Annovar and custom scripts to identify whether they affected protein coding sequence, and whether they had previously been seen in dbSNP132, the 1000 genomes dataset (Nov 2011), the NHLBI GO exomes, or in approximately 500 exomes previously sequenced at our center. +Given the suspicion of a mitochondrial disorder based on the patient’s clinical phenotype, we first filtered the list of non-synonymous variants to retain only those present in genes in the MitoCarta Inventory of Mammalian Mitochondrial Genes and which were seen in 7 or fewer internal control exomes (of ~500) and at less than 1% frequency in the 1000 genomes and NHLBI GO exome databases.

The patient had chronic viral hepatitis B and received standard antiviral therapy. He had no medical history of glucose intolerance, autoimmune diseases, thyroid dysfunction, or other systemic diseases (e.g., Cushing’s syndrome), and no evidence of acute infection, trauma, or drug poisoning. He also had no family history of diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and hereditary diseases. Psychosocial assessment showed that the patient had no mental, physical, or emotional health issues. After unsuccessful treatment with trans-hepatic arterial chemotherapy and embolization (TACE), the patient voluntarily participated in the CISLD-1 trial, provided signed informed consent in July 2019, and started to receive Sintilimab at a dose of 200 mg every 3 weeks. Five months after receiving Sintilimab, tumor marker examination and imaging scans showed that the treatment was effective. The patient’s alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level decreased to 40.4 μg/L from a baseline level of 9829.9 μg/L . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the tumor nodule in the liver had shrunk dramatically with a response evaluation of partial regression (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 . During these months, the patient felt mild fever regularly; however, there was no fatigue, nausea, erythema or any other side effect found. +At 24 weeks, after 8 courses of Sintilimab, the patient presented with increased urination and drinking for 1 week, and blood tests showed that his fasting plasma glucose was as high as 22.2 mmol/L, with an HbA1c value of 7.8%. Considering the high risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, blood gas analysis was performed, which revealed that he had severe metabolic acidosis, with an arterial pH of 7.27, serum bicarbonate of 12.9 mmol/L, and lactate of 1.8 mmol/L. The blood ketone body determination was positive. Therefore, the patient was suspected to have new onset diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis and was admitted to our hospital. Further blood assessment showed that the patient’s fasting insulin was as low as 1.5 mIU/L and fasting C-peptide was 1.12 ng/mL (0.78–5.19 ng/mL), which further decreased to 0.21 ng/mL 4 days later. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) revealed that the fasting, 1-, 2-, and 3-h plasma glucose levels were 12.34, 18.32, 28.38, and 25.41 mmol/L, respectively, accompanied by a 2-h postprandial C-peptide level of 0.30 ng/mL and a serum insulin level of 10.4 mIU/L. In addition, the patient’s serum inflammatory cytokines, measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), demonstrated an interleukin-6 (IL-6) level of 786.32 pg/mL, which decreased to 338.70 pg/mL 2 months later . There was no infection, medication, thromboembolic event, or other factor (Autoimmune diseases, Cushing’s syndrome, or drug poisoning) that could cause hyperglycemia. Consequently, Sintilimab-induced new-onset autoimmune diabetes was diagnosed. However, the anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA) antibody, anti-islet cell antibody (ICA), and anti-insulin (IAA) antibody tests were all negative. In addition, the type 1 diabetes-related alleles of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II, which were explored at the loci of HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 by sequence-based typing primed PCR , revealed that the most relevant allele was HLA-A∗0201 . For other endocrine function assessments, thyroid hormones showed that the patient’s serum total triiodothyronine (TT3) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) were slightly decreased, but later become normal without oral thyroxine treatment . Moreover, the levels of anterior pituitary hormones and their regulated hormones were all normal . The patient received insulin therapy delivered by micropump, maintaining water and electrolyte acid-base balance and other supportive treatment to correct acidosis. Thereafter, he was treated with insulin therapy subcutaneously, which was adjusted daily to the dose of once-daily basal insulin glargine (long-acting insulin, 30 units) plus thrice-daily prandial insulin aspart (fast acting insulin, 14 units) during his hospital stay. The patient’s plasma glucose returned to normal levels gradually and he was discharged 10 days later . Subsequently, the patient’s plasma glucose was monitored in the outpatient setting and the insulin therapy was gradually adjusted to once-daily basal insulin glargine (28 units) plus thrice-daily prandial insulin aspart (15 units). Then, the patient received continued Sintilimab administration, which resulted in a further decreased in his AFP level .

Constant CP started 2 h before the ECG was obtained, and it showed ST-segment elevation in the inferior and lateral leads . This clinical condition was interpreted as a ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel loading doses were immediately administered and thrombolytic treatment with tenecteplase (7000 U) was initiated [time estimated to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was more than 120 min].

Regarding the myocardium evaluation, the left ventricle was non-dilated with mild systolic dysfunction and multiple subepicardial LGE foci in the inferolateral and mid-distal segments of the anterolateral wall, consistent with the diagnosis of myocarditis . +The patient underwent surgery on the 6th day with total tumour excision and autologous pericardial patch repair of the atrial septal defect. The periprocedural transoesophageal echocardiogram showed the mobility of the mass in to the left ventricle during diastole (, S6–S8). +During recovery, the patient presented with mild vertigo while walking and diplopia in extreme eye movements. After a neurologist assessment, a cerebral magnetic resonance imaging was requested where were identified multiple infracentimetric lesions throughout the cerebral parenchyma, infra and supratentorial, affecting the cerebellar peduncles and left caudate nucleus. These lesions were moderately hypointense on T1 WI and hyperintense on T2 WI, presenting enhancement after administration of gadolinium.

The ventricular lead was fixed on his RV high septum, because a low-voltage area extended across his mid- to low-ventricular septum. The pacing mode of the ICD was programmed to AAI mode. The width of his own QRS wave was 120ms. His echocardiogram showed a severely dilated and diffuse hypokinetic left ventricle. His septal wall was thin and high-echoic. Cardiac sarcoidosis was suspected, but the diagnostic criteria could not be fulfilled. Three years after ICD implantation, he developed dyspnea until he experienced New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III heart failure. A Wenckebach-type second-degree atrioventricular block was observed during atrium-only pacing at 60 beats per minute (Figure ), therefore, the pacing mode was programmed to DDDR mode. After changing the pacing mode, his symptoms apparently worsened, and he was admitted the following week. He experienced NYHA class IV heart failure, and his electrocardiogram showed dissociated biphasic QRS morphology (Figure ). The width of the first component of the QRS wave was 110ms, and that of the second component was 102ms. His echocardiogram showed severe interventricular dyssynchrony. LV ejection occurred 150ms later than did RV ejection. +Endocardial substrate mapping by the CARTO™ XP system (Biosense Webster Inc., Diamond Bar, CA, USA) showed a low-voltage area extended across his basal to mid-ventricular septum. Activation mapping of his own QRS wave (Figure A) showed that ventricular conduction started at his mid-septum, and both LV and RV excitation ended simultaneously within 166ms. However, activation mapping during RV high-septal pacing (Figure C) showed that RV conduction started at the pacing site and ended at the RV basal inferior site within 83ms after the pacing stimulus. Subsequently after a 10ms interval, LV conduction started at his basal posterior septum and ended at the lateral wall within 226ms after the pacing stimulus. These data show that in RV high-septal pacing, the first component of the QRS wave supposedly reflects only RV excitation originating at the RV high septum, and the second component reflects only LV excitation originating at the LV posteroseptum. His electrocardiogram (ECG) also showed biphasic QRS morphology during LV lateral or RV apical pacing. This interventricular dyssynchrony was improved by biventricular pacing, therefore, his ICD was upgraded to cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRTD; Figure ).

The patient was treated with umifenovir, convalescent plasma, alpha-interferon, corticoids, and other supporting therapy. However, there was no clinical improvement after 73 days on ECMO or active medical treatment, the patient suffered progressive dyspnoea, and progressive respiratory failure continued. In order to increase the patient’s life expectancy, double-lung transplantation was performed. +The patient underwent double-lung transplantation in late April 2020, following the ethical principles of international organ transplantation. The allocated lungs were harvested from the donor after brainstem death and donated through the China Organ Transplant Response System. +Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was discontinued 6 days after double-lung transplantation for the first time, but the patient suffered from hypoxaemia, respiratory acidosis, and circulation instability 7 days after double-lung transplantation. Hence, venous–venous ECMO was used again. In addition, biological tests showed D-dimer levels of 12.38 µg/mL, ultrasound indicated pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure, and minor levels of right pulmonary stenosis and embolism were found by CT angiography. Therefore, we administered intravenous heparin for anticoagulant therapy and inhaled nitric oxide to dilate the pulmonary arteries. The respiratory and circulation status improved during the following days. The patient was weaned from ECMO 12 days after double-lung transplantation, and tracheal intubation was removed 17 days after double-lung transplantation. +However, more than 3 months after double-lung transplantation, the patient complained of progressive dyspnoea again. Branch PAS was confirmed by pulmonary artery CT angiography, which revealed stenosis in the right lower pulmonary branch, including a minor level of pulmonary embolism. Electrocardiography (ECG) results showed sinus rhythm at 79–116 b.p.m. with right bundle branch block. Echocardiography revealed right ventricular enlargement, moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation, and an estimated right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 76 mmHg. Considering clinical presentation, ECG, echocardiography, and CT angiography findings, the patient was diagnosed with branch PAS. Later, Treprostinil injection was continuously administered for pulmonary vasodilation. However, biological tests showed that brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were not improved. The patient underwent further right cardiac catheterization examination and pulmonary angiography under general anaesthesia and mechanical ventilation. Pulmonary angiography revealed the main pulmonary artery was at a pressure of 60/20 mmHg, severe stenosis was present in the right branch pulmonary artery with a pressure of 17/9 mmHg , and mild stenosis was present in the left branch pulmonary artery with a pressure of 50/20 mmHg. +The MPA1 catheter (Cordis, USA) was delivered to the distal end of the right pulmonary artery after right heart catheterization and exchanged for Amplatz Super Stiff Wire (BostonScientific Corporation, USA). A 14-Fr guiding sheath (Cook Medical, Bloomington, USA) was introduced into the right pulmonary artery so as to ensure the previously preloaded 25-mm long Pul-Stent™ (Med-Zenith Company, Beijing, China) could pass through the lesion smoothly. The stent was expanded step by step with a 12-mm Balloon-in-Balloon (Numed Company, USA) after accurate location was confirmed by angiography. +After the endovascular procedure, pulmonary angiography revealed the main pulmonary artery was at a pressure of 54/17 mmHg, the right branch stenotic lesion diameter improved and its estimated pressure was 45/17 mmHg , and the pressure gradient decreased from 43 to 9 mmHg. The percutaneous interventional procedure went smoothly, and the vital signs of the patient remained stable during catheterization. After treatment, echocardiography estimated the RVSP decreased from 76 to 34 mmHg. The patient’s BNP and NT-proBNP levels decreased distinctly . Additionally, the mean level of the postoperative oxygenation index was also significantly improved compared with the preoperative oxygenation index . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_526_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_526_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d1eee364ac7653fb1d5a5333c51e68688a6b4e7c --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_526_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 39-year-old female presented with a 10-month history of the right-sided neck pain and bilateral hand numbness/weakness, accompanied by leg heaviness.

He was a longtime local resident and never went to any affected areas (areas with high prevalence of infectious diseases). He reported being formerly healthy without any medical histories or current comorbidities, and he reported taking no medications. He has smoked 20 cigarettes per day for 7 years and consumed alcohol for 10 years at 100 to 250 g per day. His parents were healthy, and his family history was unremarkable. His physical examination revealed no abnormal findings. His body temperature was 36.5 °C, blood pressure was 121/73 mmHg, respiratory rate was 18 breaths/min, pulse was 69/min, heart rate was 70 beats/min, and reflexes were normal. He had no pathology reflex, and his body mass index was 22.81 kg/m2. Laboratory evaluation revealed slightly elevated cardiac troponin T level of 0.017 ng/ml, N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide level of 291.80 pg/ml, and C-reactive protein level of 0.40 mg/L. The patient’s blood lipid levels, liver function, and renal function were within the normal range with glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase level of 23 U/L, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase level of 31 U/L, alkaline phosphatase level of 84 U/L, total protein level of 67.9 g/L, albumin level of 41 g/L, globulin level of 26.9 g/L, total cholesterol level of 4.01 mmol/L, triglyceride level of 1.42 mmol/L, high-density lipoprotein level of 1.08 mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein level of 2.14 mmol/L, uric acid level of 353 μmol/L, epidermal growth factor receptor level of 105.48 ml/min/1.73 m2; serum K+ level of 4.05 mmol/L, serum Ca2+ level of 2.16 mmol/L, serum Mg2+ level of 0.88 mmol/L, and serum Na+ level of 141 mmol/L. The results of routine blood test and urinalysis were negative, thyroid function was normal, and microorganisms were not detected. Chest radiography showed an apparently normal morphology of the heart and lungs . ECGs revealed progressively deepened and widened Q waves on the II, III, and avF leads and contiguous TWIs on the I and avL leads . Echocardiography revealed an increasingly thickened interventricular septum from 10 mm to 13 mm, an enlarged left atrium and ventricle, and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction from 73% to 63% . Coronary angiography (CAG) was performed and showed no distinct stenosis. Emission computed tomography (ECT) revealed mild myocardial ischemia of the left ventricular inferior wall . All of these clinical tests supported the diagnosis of HCM, which became gradually evident with time. For further identification, we proposed other examination techniques for this patient, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) to better evaluate the left ventricular wall thickness and to identify potential areas of myocardial fibrosis, Holter monitor recordings and an exercise test to evaluate possible “dynamic” changes of repolarization abnormalities, as well as genetic testing.

Within 24 h after the injury, he was treated by surgical debridement, negative pressure vacuum sealing drainage, and immobilization by casting in a local hospital. Due to severe contamination and a poor soft tissue condition, the wound was surgically debrided again and closed 15 days later. Two months after the initial operation, the wound had finally healed, and the soft tissue was in good condition, without infection or effusion. The CRP (C-reactive protein) and ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) levels returned to normal, and the patient was transferred to our department for additional treatment. +The patient’s height was 175 cm, and his weight was 130 kg. The preoperative anteroposterior (AP) and lateral X-rays (see Fig. ) and 3D-CT scans (see Fig. ) of the right elbow joint showed massive bone defects at the supracondylar level as well as a comminuted articular surface. According to the Association for Osteosynthesis/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) criteria, the fracture was classified as a type 13-C3 fracture . The physical examination revealed pseudarthrosis at the fracture site, which made it much more difficult to reconstruct the distal humerus. +After the induction of general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the supine position with elbow flexion and forearm crossing chest , and a longitudinal incision was made along the midline of the posterior aspect of the elbow and medially curved at the olecranon tip. The ulnar nerve was dissected carefully and protected by a rubber strip, and then, a V-shaped osteotomy was performed in the proximal olecranon. The proximal bone fragment and triceps muscle were flipped upward to expose the distal part of the humerus. +Then, we removed all the fibrous scar tissue as well as the anterior and posterior capsules to release the elbow. The dead bones and redundant calli were debrided until fresh bone was evidently revealed, and then the bone callus was kept for grafting. The original articular cartilage was preserved to the greatest extent possible, but the trochlear groove was too severely comminuted to be reconstructed. Therefore, the fracture fragments and adhesive fibrous tissue were removed to facilitate reconstruction. +The trochlear and capitellar articular surfaces of the distal humerus were aligned with the olecranon and radial head articular surfaces, respectively. Then, we measured the width of the trochlear groove defect, harvested a cylindrical autograft of an appropriate size and shape from the iliac crest, and inserted the graft into the defect to reconstruct the distal humerus. The cortical bone surface of the graft was directed towards the articular cavity but was located 2 mm proximal to the cartilage. We stabilized the distal fragments using K-wires (Kirschner wires) for temporary reduction. Then, the intercondylar fracture was converted to a supracondylar fracture of the distal humerus. +Next, the humeral shaft and both columns were reduced. First, the medullary canal was opened by a 3.5 mm diameter drill to promote fracture healing. The supracondylar bone defects were measured to be approximately 3 cm at the medial column and 5 cm at the lateral column. We performed shortening by 2 cm at the supracondylar level. Then, 2 pieces of autografts harvested from the iliac crest were trimmed according to the size and shape of the bony defects to reconstruct the medial and lateral columns, respectively. The cortical bone was directed outward, and the cancellous side was directed inward. The total bone loss was estimated by measuring the humeral length. Then, K-wires were inserted for temporary fixation. +Finally, to optimize the stability of the bony structure, the distal humerus was stabilized using anatomical locking compression plates via a parallel configuration (Zimmer Biomet, USA). Several K-wires were left for the fixation of the tiny fragments. +After internal fixation, the elbow joint exhibited almost full range of motion during passive flexion and extension (see Fig. ). The remaining iliac crest autografts and bone callus were cut into several strip-shaped bone chips and implanted around the supracondylar level. +Finally, the olecranon osteotomy site was reduced and fixed by tension band wires. We performed subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve using soft tissue sling to prevent direct contact and irritation from the hardware. The muscles and deep fascia were sutured carefully to cover the bone grafts and internal fixation site. The donor site was closed by direct suturing. +After the surgery, standard AP and lateral radiographs of the elbow joint were taken to evaluate the quality of reconstruction (see Fig. ). +The drainage tube was removed 24 h after surgery. Active exercises of the hand and wrist, isometric contractions of the biceps and forearm muscles, and active elbow flexion and extension exercises were initiated on the second day after surgery. +Routine follow-ups were carried out. The fracture healed at 3 months postoperatively, and the radiographs showed the presence of a continuous callus passing through the fracture line. Six months after the index surgery, the patient had a painless elbow joint and almost full recovery (125° elbow flexion and 0° extension, 90° forearm supination and 65° pronation). The Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) was 100 (excellent). +Three years after the index surgery, the patient came to our department for hardware removal due to psychological factors. He was pain free at the affected elbow joint. The flexion-extension range of motion was 130–0°, and the supination-pronation range of rotation was 90–80°. The MEPS was 100 points. The patients was very satisfied. +Secondary displacement or the loss of reduction, implant loosening or internal fixation breakage, and obvious articular degeneration were not observed. No other postoperative complications, such as infection, nonunion, delayed union, ulnar nerve symptoms, or donor site pain, occurred after the initial internal fixation procedure.

Then, an interocclusal record was prepared with a hard addition-type A-silicon material (Imprint™ Bite, 3M ESPE) at the increased vertical dimension (5 mm in anterior region) which was determined in diagnostic wax-up stage. The autopolymerizing acrylic resin (ALIKETM; GC America, Alsip, IL, USA) provisional crowns were fabricated at the determined vertical dimension extraorally by an indirect method, then they were cemented with temporary cement (Temp Bond NETM; Kerr) .

She had acquired the tick in southern Germany in the vicinity of Freiburg (Baden-Wuerttemberg). Two days after removal of the tick she noticed redness followed by ulcer formation at the biting site along with swollen regional lymph nodes. She presented with high fever (40°C), malaise, headache and nuchal lymphadenopathy. At the site of the tick bite an eschar with edematous margins was present . The remaining physical examination was unremarkable. She denied animal contacts and had not been anywhere else than in the vicinity of Freiburg. Laboratory investigations revealed a white blood cell count of 8.3 × 109/L, C-reactive protein of 112 mg/L (normal < 5 mg/L), moderately elevated transaminases (ALT 133 U/L [normal < 35 U/L], AST 99 U/L [< 35 U/L], γ-GT 158 U/L [< 40 U/L]) and mildly elevated LDH (314 U/L [< 214 U/L]). Blood cultures were negative and cultures of dermal swabs obtained from the eschar revealed normal skin flora. Computed tomography revealed imbibition of the subcutaneous tissue underneath the eschar and non-necrotizing lymphadenitis of the draining lymph nodes without evidence of cervical or mediastinal abscess formation . Antibody testing for Francisella tularensis, Borrelia burgdorferi, Rickettsia prowazekii, Rickettsia typhi and Yersinia enterocolitica was negative. She was empirically treated with ampicillin/sulbactam and ciprofloxacin, three days after initiation of antibiotic treatment defervescence and clinical improvement could be noticed. +In serial serum samples (day 7, 17 and 24) specific antibody testing for rickettsiae of the tick-borne spotted fever group revealed a seroconversion (indirect immunofluorescence assay : R. conorii IgG [Fuller Laboratories], <1:32, 1:512, 1:1024, respectively; R. helvetica IgG [in house], <1:32, 1:32, 1:128, respectively). Skin-biopsy of the eschar was not performed. The patient recovered without further complications, a change to specific anti-rickettsial antibiotic therapy, i.e. doxycylin was not necessary. +Human rickettsioses occur worldwide and are considered to be emerging infections . One of the newly discovered rickettsial diseases is tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA). The causative agent, Rickettsia slovaca, was discovered in 1968 in Slovakia, but was being considered as non-pathogenic until 1997 [,]. R. slovaca is transmitted almost exclusively by Dermacentor marginatus and rarely by Dermacentor reticulatus ticks . +Here we report the case of a female Caucasian patient presenting with the characteristic clinical features of TIBOLA. In our patient the tick was not available for genus and species identification, however, the season late winter/early spring and the localisation of the tick bite on the scalp strongly suggest a bite due to D. marginatus which is prevalent in the vicinity of Freiburg. Noteworthy, TIBOLA is one of the rare tick-borne diseases that is more common in the cold season. As reported in several case series, females are at higher risk of TIBOLA, the mean age is 30-35 years with a substantial proportion of cases occurring in children. Apart from TIBOLA, two other acronyms were proposed for this clinical entity: Dermacentor-borne necrosis erythema and lymphadenopathy (DEBONEL) or scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy after tick bite (SENLAT) . +R. slovaca has been described in Dermacentor ticks in many European countries including France, Greece, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, and others. In Germany, R. slovaca has been found in D. marginatus ticks in Baden-Wuerttemberg in the area of the Rhine valley and recently in the Main valley in the vicinity of Aschaffenburg, Bavaria . +Within the last years, detection of R. slovaca from human cases has been increasingly reported from France, Hungary, Spain and Italy [,-]. It is remarkable that although R. slovaca was isolated in ticks in Germany already 30 years ago, no human case of TIBOLA in Germany has been described until recently. As a consequence of the case presented here and another case of 2009 from southern Rhineland-Palatinate , Germany must be added to the list of countries where autochthonous acquisition of TIBOLA has occurred. R. slovaca infections seem to be more widespread over Germany as has been found so far since our case was several hundred kilometers south of the case described in Rhineland-Palatinate. Including the recently described detection of Rickettsia aeschlimannii, up to now seven rickettsial species have been reported in Germany . +Apart from R. slovaca, the rickettsial genotypes RpA4, DnS14 and DnS28 belonging to a new spotted fever group species recently named R. raoultii have been implicated in the etiology of TIBOLA . Due to only minor antigenetic differences among all spotted fever group rickettsiae, serology is not able to discriminate within members of this group and unambiguous (sub)species-specific diagnosis can only be made by PCR from skin biopsies or swab specimen of the eschar . As R. raoultii is prevalent in D. reticulatis ticks in southern Germany and skin biopsy/PCR was not performed, we cannot rule out TIBOLA due to R. raoultii. However, our patient suffered from high fever and pronounced malaise. This strongly favours an infection due to R. slovaca since R. raoultii is considered to be less pathogenic and to cause a milder form of TIBOLA [,]. +Noteworthy, apart from fever and malaise our patient presented with moderately elevated transaminases indicating hepatic involvement in the course of infection. Further evaluation included abdominal/hepatic ultrasonography which was unremarkable. Antibody testing for Coxiella burnetii was negative. Improvement of ALT/AST during antibiotic treatment argues against drug induced hepatitis due to ampicillin/sulbactam or ciprofloxacin. +The differential diagnosis in patients with an eschar includes rickettsial infections, cutaneous anthrax, tularaemia, necrotic arachnidism (brown recluse spider bite), scrub typhus (Orientia tsutsugamushi), rat bite fever (Spirillum minus), staphylococcal or streptococcal ecthyma, and, as discussed recently, infection due to Bartonella henselae . However, in the context of a previous tick bite, infection due to Francisella tularensis, or possibly B. henselae, as well as staphylococcal or streptococcal superinfection occur as most likely diagnoses. +As for other rickettsioses the treatment of choice is considered to be a 7 to 10 day course of doxycycline (100 mg twice daily for adults), with ciprofloxacin or azithromycin/clarithromycin as possible alternative agents. Severe complications as seen in other rickettsiosis (e.g. epidemic typhus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Mediterranean Spotted Fever) have not been described in TIBOLA so far. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_605_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_605_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5155a20d1d6a12910d5845555cc97c50d7409431 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_605_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 45-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of a painful lump in the anterior aspect of her left elbow associated with altered sensation in the dorsoradial aspect of her left hand.

There were no other rhinological or ophthalmological symptoms. He had suffered from adult onset diabetes mellitus for 5 years and was well controlled on oral hypoglycemic agents. The endoscopic examination showed an expansive, large middle turbinate with normal mucosa filled the majority of right nasal cavity and displaced the septum to the left. Ophthalmologic examination revealed exophthalmos and globe was displaced antero-laterally. Ocular motion and visual acuity were normal. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbit showed a well demarcated huge mass at right nasal cavity extending to ethmoid sinus and orbit. The mass caused a bony defect on the lamina papyracea and displaced medial rectus muscle and orbit laterally. Moreover, the right frontal and ethmoid sinus was totally opacified . Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the paranasal sinus revealed a cystic mass displaying intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images (T1WIs) and T2WIs without enhancement. In addition, right frontal and ethmoid sinusitis was also observed . From these findings, the lesion was suspected to be a CB mucocele with orbital invasion and frontal sinusitis. Resection of the lateral and inferior walls of the right middle turbinate was performed under general anesthesia combined with a right frontal sinusotomy. The middle turbinate consisted of thick, dark brown, and inspissated material surrounded by a partially bony shell with mucosa at both inner and outer side, confirming the diagnosis of a mucocele in CB. No organism was seen on gram, AFB, and fungus stain and culture yielded no growth in the pus from CB. After frontal sinusotomy, pulsating pus like discharge and inflammation-induced edematous sinus mucosa were noted. An oral antibiotic treatment with Amoxicillin and Clavulanate was started for concurrent paranasal sinus infection, and planned to complete for 2 weeks.

The patient was admitted with a suspicion of sepsis secondary to intraabdominal infection, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy was initiated. However, his condition deteriorated, and after 7 days, he was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Chiba University Hospital. +On admission to the ICU, the 165.3 cm tall patient weighing 99.3 kg was fully conscious (Glasgow Coma Scale E4V5M6), but he had a tendency to somnolence. His blood pressure was 154/103 mm Hg, heart rate 115/minutes, respiratory rate 30/minutes, body temperature 37.9 °C, and SpO2 96% on room air. The conjunctiva and skin were icteric. The chest was clear to auscultation. There was abdominal distention with mild hypogastric tenderness but no sign of peritoneal irritation. There was pitting edema in the upper and lower extremities. The white blood cell count was 1.2 × 104/μL, C-reactive protein level was 23.9 mg/dL, and procalcitonin level was 8.92 ng/mL, which were consistent with a diagnosis of bacterial infection. The platelet count had dropped to 3.8 × 104/μL, and the prothrombin time was 41% with a fibrin degradation product level of 53.1 μg/mL, indicative of coagulopathy. The lactate dehydrogenase level was 392 IU/L, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase levels were 50 and 17 IU/L, respectively, and also total and direct bilirubin levels were 6.2 and 4.6 mg/dL, respectively; however, other indicators of hemolysis, including anemia and schistocytosis, were absent. The BUN had increased to 92 mg/dL and the creatinine level was stable at 2.09 mg/dL. The CH50 level was 40.6 U/mL (normal range: 30–50 U/mL), the C3 level was 85 mg/dL (normal range: 65–135 mg/dL), and the C4 level was 23 mg/dL (normal range: 13–35 mg/dL). +The patient's clinical course is summarized in the Fig. . Since a stool culture test on ICU admission identified Enterococcus species and Corynebacterium striatum, a diagnosis of severe sepsis derived from bacterial enteritis was established and wide-spectrum antimicrobial therapy was initiated. Continuous hemodiafiltration was initiated on ICU day 3 but oliguria progressed to anuria, thrombocytopenia persisted, and laboratory values did not improve. Blood, urine, and spinal fluid cultures taken on admission to the ICU were all negative, which eliminated the possibility of additional foci of infection. Two polyps (one each in the sigmoid colon and the rectum) were discovered on lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, which were diagnosed at histopathology as early-stage nonhemorrhagic adenocarcinoma. The polyps did not appear to be the cause of the bloody stool. Additional laboratory evaluations were negative for other hematological disorders or connective tissue diseases. On ICU day 9, schistocytosis (0.5%) was noted on the peripheral blood smear, and a diagnosis of TMA was established. The Hct level also had dropped to 23.5% on the same day and the declining trend continued, therefore red blood cell transfusion was performed days later when he complained dyspnea. Plasma exchange (PE) therapy was initiated on ICU day 11. The patient had only a slight remission of thrombocytopenia after a total of 8 PE sessions (2.1 × 104/μL before the 1st PE and 5.9 × 104/μL after the 8th PE), but there was no notable clinical improvement and the anuria persisted . The level of ADAMTS13 activity in a plasma sample collected from the patient prior to initiation of PE was 25.1%, and the sample was negative for ADAMTS13 inhibitor. These findings eliminated the possibility of TTP. Furthermore, the stool was negative for Shiga toxin-producing-strains of Escherichia coli, and the serum titer for anti-Shiga-toxin antibody was also negative, eliminating the possibility of HUS. Although we considered TMA secondary to colorectal cancer in the differential diagnosis, the endoscopic findings of intramucosal carcinoma and negativity for tumor markers eliminated this possibility. Careful consideration of other possible causes, previous history, and drug history failed to identify an extrinsic etiology of TMA in this patient, and we ultimately suspected aHUS as the cause. Accordingly, intravenous eculizumab treatment (900 mg, once a week) was initiated on ICU day 26. An increase in urine output was observed on the next day, and renal support was successfully discontinued on the same day. And also marked recovery of the platelet count was obtained in combination with the effectiveness of supportive therapy including PE. Biweekly eculizumab infusion was repeated 4 times and then discontinued. +After approval by the institutional review boards of Chiba University, the University of Tokyo, and National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, an anticomplement factor H (CFH) antibody assay and an analysis of complement factor H-related (CFHR) genes were performed using a blood sample collected from the patient prior to initiation of PE. Also written informed consent was obtained from the patient before the assays. The anti-CFH antibody level was 6.16 AU/mL, which indicated negativity for anti-CFH antibody. We performed the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis to screen the copy numbers of CFHR1/3 on chromosome 1q32 using a commercially available kit (MLPA kit P236-A2; MRC-Holland, The Netherlands),[ and found that CFHR1/3 did not show gene deletions. However, moderate hemolysis was induced in concomitant hemolytic assays using sheep red blood cells (RBCs), and analysis for mutations potentially associated with aHUS identified a nonsynonymous mutation (p.Ala311Val) in the gene encoding membrane cofactor protein (MCP). All screened genes are presented in the Table . +The patient was discharged from the ICU on day 37 and was discharged to home on day 58. He was followed up regularly as an outpatient and was receiving 40 mg/day of prednisolone.

CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) found the known branch-duct disease IPMN lesion (12 mm) and confirmed localized pancreatitis in the tail of the pancreas and mild pancreatic duct dilatation (2.2 mm). In April 2018, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) (UE260 Ultrasonic gastrovideoscope; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) revealed a hypoechoic tumor (approximately 7 mm) and local atrophy in the tail of the pancreas.

Thus, it met the indications of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Colonoscopy revealed no positive findings. Although pancreatic EUS confirmed a 7 mm pancreatic tail tumor, FNA could not be performed despite contrast-enhanced EUS because of its small size and poor reproducibility. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed, and the pancreatic juice was collected four times for cytological examination. +The patient was diagnosed with class III cellular atypia. CA19-9 levels continued to increase. Based on the American College of Gastroenterology clinical guidelines, we suggested surgical treatment, and her family supported the decision. The patient refused pancreatic surgery but agreed to gastric ESD. In February 2019, we attempted EUS-FNA again, as the lesion had enlarged (15 mm).

DNA was isolated from peripheral blood using the salt saturation method, as previously described by Miller et al. . Molecular genetics analysis of FGFR2, targeting exon 7, was performed by direct sequencing at the Laboratory of Neurovascular Unit and Cognitive Impairments, University of Poitiers, France. The reference genomic DNA sequence used was NM_000141.4. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of exon 7 from the FGFR2 gene was performed using the primers FGFR2-F 5-CCGGCAGTCTCCTTTGAAGT-3′ and FGFR2-R 5′-GATCTGTTAATTCCTTAGAACACTCTCT-3′, resulting in a 525 bp fragment. Approximately 50 ng of DNA solution (2.5 μl) was added to 22.5 μl of PCR mixture. This PCR mixture contained 0.25 μl of 25 mM deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), 3 μl of 25 mM MgCl2, 0.25 μl of each 20 μM primer, 2.5 μl of 10× PCR buffer, 0.125 μl of 5 U/μl Diamond® high fidelity Taq DNA polymerase (Eurogentec), and 16.13 μl of H2O.

Since the age of three months she was hospitalized several times with intermittent wheezing, inspiratory stridor, epigastrical retractions, dyspnea and cough. Each time, she was diagnosed either with bronchiolitis or wheezy bronchitis and treated with bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids and antibiotics. However the symptoms recurred frequently, therefore further diagnostic approaches were initiated including chest-radiography, allergy tests (specific IgE) and otorhinolaryngeal examination, which revealed no abnormalities. At the age of two years the girl was admitted to our hospital because of an acute exacerbation of her pulmonary situation. She presented in reduced physical condition with respiratory distress at rest, wheezing and dry cough. Inhalation therapy with beta agonists showed no success, there were no signs of a severe viral or bacterial infection. Based on her medical history of several episodes with recurrent, therapy-refractory wheezing without signs of an infection and her acute condition of severe respiratory distress we decided to extend the diagnostic approach and underwent flexible bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. The larynx appeared with a mild malacia, the branching of the right upper lobe bronchus (RUL) was atypical in the anterior aspect of the carina followed by tracheal stenosis. The main bronchi could not be entered with a two millimeter bronchoscope . Therefore and to identify the exact anatomical situation a CT scan of the lung was performed with a three-dimensional reconstruction of the tracheo-bronchial system, which demonstrated a voluminous right upper lobe bronchus branching of the trachea at the level of the aortic arch, followed distally by a tracheal stenosis to the left . At a lower vertebral level than that of the normal carina (T5-6), the trachea was divided into two bronchi (bifurcatio tracheae), of which one proceeded to the left side of the lung (left main bronchus, LMB) and one adjacently with the pulmonary artery to the right (bridging bronchus, BB). This bridging bronchus upcoming from the left supplied the right lower and middle lobe. Whereas the right lower lobe was normally configured, the right middle lobe appeared hypoplastic. Parts of the ventral upper lobe were hyperinflated. Despite the small diameter of the left main bronchus, the left lung was normally ventilated. CT scan provided no indication of an associated vascular malformation e.g. a left sling pulmonary artery (SLPA). To exclude further anatomical variations of the cardiovascular, renal or gastrointestinal system echocardiography and abdominal ultrasound were performed and demonstrated no anomalies. +Treatment with epinephrine inhalation and leucotriene receptor antagonist was initiated for several weeks and the patient was followed by our outpatient clinics every three months.

The portal vein was reconstructed by the interposition of the right external iliac vein graft. The portal vein flow was gradually interrupted by thrombosis formation so that collateral vessels developed. SMV flow was completely blocked, and the flow seemed to run through collateral vessels. This made surgery difficult due to hemorrhage. On the other hand, temporary bypass was not necessary because collateral vessels were well developed. The operation time was 615 min, and blood loss was 2405 g. The resected specimen showed a large tumor occupying the head of the pancreas and invading the duodenal lumen . The tumor showed a gelatinous appearance on cross section and was mainly located in the pancreas head. The tumor size was 105 × 70 × 100 mm in three dimensions. Histopathological findings showed colloid carcinoma of the pancreas, as adenocarcinoma cells floating in the mucus lake were observed . No adenomatous lesions were observed in the adjacent duodenum mucosa. There was a tumor thrombus in the portal vein. Tumor thrombi were also observed in small vessels within and around the tumor bed . Because we did not observe any distinct evidence of direct cancer involvement into the portal vein , we considered that this tumor thrombus in the portal vein was formed by intravascular extension through venous vessels. According to the general rules of the AICC/UICC 8th edition TNM staging system, the tumor was described as pT3N0M0. The resection margin was positive for the tumor thrombus at the proximal stump of the portal vein. Immunohistochemistry studies showed that it was CK7+, CK20−, CA19-9+, CK19+, and CDX-2+, which were consistent with colloid carcinoma of the pancreas. +The postoperative course was uneventful, and there were no complications, including pancreatic fistula. He was discharged from the hospital approximately 2 months after the operation after moving to the rehabilitation ward. He moved to the rehabilitation ward not only for medical reasons, but also for social reasons. After 6 weeks of surgery, S-1 was administered as adjuvant chemotherapy, which was discontinued and switched to gemcitabine monotherapy as he had severe diarrhea. Liver metastases appeared 12 months postoperatively, so gemcitabine was used in combination with nab-paclitaxel for 2 months. However, his physical status worsened, and chemotherapy was discontinued. He died at home 16 months after the operation. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_76_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_76_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6b2cb5838f268b737b0212107000653e242eec45 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_76_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +The patient was a 67-year-old man.

The primary tumor was ER, PR, and HER2 positive and phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) negative as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expression of ER and PR was scored according to the Allred score. HER2 status was scored as positive if >30% of tumor cells showed strong (3+) membrane staining, and PTEN status was designated as positive if tumor cells showed positive staining by IHC. The patient was treated with CAF (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, and fluorouracil) adjuvant chemotherapy for six cycles and tamoxifen for 2 years without radiotherapy or trastuzumab. Metastases to the supraclavicular and cervical lymph nodes and left chest wall relapse were found in December 2007. Thus, the disease-free survival was 32 months. +From December 2007 to August 2012, the patient underwent multiple-line rescue treatments including several cytotoxic agents, HER2-targeted therapies, and endocrine therapies used for breast cancer . Pretreatment biopsy and pathology results were not available. The rescue treatment was started with chemotherapy, but this was switched to endocrine drugs due to the adverse effects of chemotherapy. The patient obtained clinical benefit from endocrine therapy. The recurrent tumor in the left supraclavicular lymph nodes was HR negative by IHC and HER2 positive by fluorescence in situ hybridization detection in two hospitals in May 2009. Then, chemotherapy and HER2-directed therapy as main choices were applied, and endocrine therapy was also used due to the intolerance or lack of response to chemotherapy. Among these regimens, two regimens provided clinical benefit, namely, anastrozole combined with goserelin for 11 months and exemestane plus lapatinib for 7 months during the earlier treatment. In contrast, a total of seven regimens containing trastuzumab and two regimens containing lapatinib all failed . +After discussion of various therapeutic options including palliative care, in 2012, we decided to treat the patient with everolimus (5 mg/d orally) in combination with intramuscular fulvestrant (500 mg once/28 days). The response and side effects of the regimen are shown in . After 6 days, we increased the dose of everolimus to 10 mg/d for 34 days., Measurable lung lesions diminished modestly as observed by computed tomography (CT) examination . The changes in target lesions based on the maximum reduction of the sum of lesion diameters are shown in . Side effects included third-degree stomatitis and liver toxicity and second-degree hematologic toxicity. After discontinuation of everolimus for 10 days, the side effects were relieved and eventually disappeared. When the patient took 5 mg everolimus daily, the lung lesions increased slightly. We therefore increased the dose to 5 and 10 mg/d alternately, with an estimated daily dose of 7.5 mg, and the lesions diminished again. Subsequently, everolimus was reduced to 5 mg daily or treatment was discontinued due to fatigue and other adverse events. Treatment was resumed again at 5 and 10 mg/d alternatively and after approximately six months of treatment, the patient could tolerate the full dose (10 mg/d) of everolimus. +At the first appearance of tumor progression detected by CT on June 7, 2013, the patient’s pleural effusion was extracted for pathologic examination and molecular profile testing (performed by Caris Life Sciences, Irving, TX, USA). The results confirmed that the tumor was a HR-negative, HER2-positive adenocarcinoma that contained a PIK3CA gene mutation and was positive for PTEN expression . The patient continued everolimus treatment until disease progression was confirmed on June 24, 2013. The response was stable disease as evaluated by Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, and progression-free survival (PFS) was 10 months. Thereafter, the patient was treated with trastuzumab, emtansine, and sorafenib, individually, with no measurable responses.

He was diagnosed as having gastric ulcer by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and prescribed a proton pomp inhibitor; however, his fever of approximately 38 °C and his back pain remained. Two weeks later, his back pain had worsened, and the laboratory data of the out-patient clinic showed an elevated C-reactive protein level (17.2 mg/dL); thus, he came to our hospital for further evaluation. His medication included only orally administered azelnidipine for hypertension. There was no significant family medical history. He denied smoking tobacco, alcohol consumption, and exposure to toxins. He worked at a ceremonial hall without any ill contacts. He had a fever of 37.9 °C, heart rate of 90 beats per minute (bpm), respiratory rate of 20 breaths/minute, blood pressure of 126/78 mmHg, and oxygen saturation of 97% on room air. A physical examination including a neurological examination showed a well man without any specific abnormal findings. Blood tests at the first encounter revealed a white blood cell count of 10,300/μL with 70% neutrophils, 14% lymphocytes, and 16% monocytes, and the platelet count was 275,000/μL. His lactate dehydrogenase level was 299 IU/L (normal range, 119–229 IU/L), his alkaline phosphatase level was 983 U/L (normal range, 103–335 U/L), and his gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase level was 256 IU/L (normal range, 0–73 IU/L). His C-reactive protein level was 23.47 mg/dL (normal range, 0–0.29 mg/dL). Other results are shown in Table . A contrasted computed tomography (CT) scan showed edema around his gallbladder without gallstones or bile duct dilation, along with left adrenal enlargement without contrast, suggesting necrosis and slight pleural effusion . His right adrenal gland was contrasted normally. Contrasted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of his adrenal glands was also performed, and the results showed necrosis of his left adrenal gland with a slight possibility of infarction and no specific evidence of hemorrhage. He was hospitalized for further investigation into the cause of the unilateral adrenal necrosis. +Lupus anticoagulant and don't break the value complex antibody were measured, and both were negative, which suggested a low possibility of antiphospholipid syndrome. He did not meet the criteria for diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. We considered the possibility of adrenal insufficiency or pheochromocytoma and measured several types of adrenal hormones, such as serum cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone activity, and urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine, but none of them explained our patient’s condition. The culture results from blood drawn at the first encounter were all negative. We performed CT-guided needle biopsy of his left adrenal gland, which revealed necrosis and the formation of fibrotic granulomatous tissue . There was no epithelioid granuloma, malignant lymphoma cells, or hemosiderin deposition, suggesting a low possibility of the involvement of a hemorrhagic etiology. The bacterial culture of this biopsy tissue was also negative. After the biopsy was finished, he was discharged. However, 1 week later, severe thrombocytopenia (5000/μL) appeared, and he was rehospitalized. His creatinine level had increased to 1.03 mg/dL from the initial value of 0.85 mg/dL. Bone marrow aspiration first resulted in a dry tap, but subsequent results showed increased megakaryocytes and hypercellular marrow with fibrosis classified as MF-1 according to the European consensus on bone marrow fibrosis staging . A contrasted CT scan showed new left axillary lymphadenopathy with a size of 15 mm, right pleural effusion, and increased ascites . Because our patient’s condition was worsening, we needed to start immediate treatment for any possible underlying causes, including bacterial infection and autoimmune disease, before obtaining the exact diagnosis. The laboratory data from the second hospitalization are shown in Table . The clinical course of this case is shown in Fig. . The initial treatment included ampicillin/sulbactam and a methylprednisolone pulse followed by orally administered prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (400 mg/kg for 5 days), considering the underlying causes mentioned above, such as severe bacterial infection or autoimmune diseases including antiphospholipid syndrome and immune thrombocytopenia; however, all of these treatments seemed to be ineffective. We also used recombinant thrombomodulin (380 U/kg) for 7 days to cope with the possibility of a thrombotic event or disseminated intravascular coagulation. Because the blood and adrenal gland biopsy culture results were both negative, we stopped the antibiotic treatment. On hospital day 9, we performed a left axillary lymph node needle biopsy, which showed no evidence of malignant lymphoma. With the edema, severe thrombocytopenia, fever above 37.5 °C, reticulin myelofibrosis (MF), mild lymphadenopathy, and progressive renal insufficiency and with other diseases excluded, we diagnosed this patient as having TAFRO syndrome according to the diagnostic criteria . The administration of intravenously administered tocilizumab (8 mg/kg) was begun on the same day with tapering prednisolone dose; his C-reactive protein and alkaline phosphatase levels gradually improved, along with his renal function and fever . For the anasarca, furosemide and potassium canrenoate were used and were highly effective. +Because the thrombocytopenia remained, we added eltrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, on hospital day 14, followed by tocilizumab administered on hospital day 16. Then, his platelet count began to increase. Under the strong immunosuppressive treatment, he contracted methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteremia on hospital day 20 and cytomegalovirus viremia on hospital day 31, which were successfully treated with vancomycin and ganciclovir, respectively. Tocilizumab was administered a third time on hospital day 47, and our patient was discharged on hospital day 48. After discharge, he remained afebrile and with an alkaline phosphate level within normal limits, and tocilizumab administration was no longer necessary. Eltrombopag administration was stopped because his platelet count increased and remained stable within normal limits. Nine months after the first treatment, this patient continues to do well. He is only being treated with low-dose prednisolone at approximately 5 mg per day and is still tapering carefully because of the presence of unilateral adrenal necrosis, considering the possibility of adrenal insufficiency. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_839_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_839_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2ebad13fff751d2b7da25602f0617df2d788856d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_839_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +A 45 year-old male patient presented to the outpatient unit of Internal Medicine Department in September 2019 with complaints of fever, abdominal pain (right flank), and burning micturition for 3 days.

The patient had no history of hormonal treatment or family history of cancer. Clinical examination confirmed a nodule in the right breast, situated at 5 o’clock. Mammography revealed a spherical, well-defined nodule of 3.2*3*2.3 cm . +Core needle biopsy (CNB) revealed multiple lesions lined with layered columnar cells and abundant mucous secretion, and the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer with abundant mucous secretion was made. Then, a right lumpectomy along with ipsilateral axillary lymph node dissection was performed. Under macroscopic observation, the tumor was a well-circumscribed mass 3*3*2 cm in size. The cross-section was grayish-white with a moderate myxoid appearance. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of mucus-filled cavities of varying sizes lined with columnar cells . Tall columnar cells were rich in mucous and had nuclei at the base of the cell. Cells in some areas appeared stratified, protruding into the lumen and even forming branched papillary structures. Nests or papillary cell masses floated in the intracavity mucous lake accompanied by necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration . Microscopically, no distinct myoepithelial layer was observed, and subsequent immunohistochemical results also confirmed the absence of myoepithelium . The cells had mild atypia, and mitotic figures were rare. No common ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) existed, and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes showed no metastasis. The Nottingham grade was 1 (tubule formation = 3, nuclear pleomorphism = 1, and mitotic count = 1), and the pathological stage was T2N0Mx. +Based on these morphological features, a wide range of differential diagnoses included metastatic tumors from the ovaries or pancreas, mucinous carcinoma, mucoceloid lesions, encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) and invasive papillary carcinoma. A broad immunohistochemical panel was performed to narrow the differential diagnosis. The neoplastic cells showed diffuse immunoreactivity for cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and a high Ki-67 index of up to 40% . There was no immunoreactivity for ER, PR, HER2, cytokeratin 20 (CK20), CA19-9, CDX-2, Villin, PAX8, GATA3, SOX10, GCDFP-15, mammaglobin, p63 or calponin. Positive immunoreactivity for CK7, negative immunoreactivity for CK20, CA19-9, CDX-2, and Villin, and metastasis from the ovary, pancreas or intestine were excluded. Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) was performed on the patient, and no other lesions were found, confirming nonmetastatic lesions. A triple-negative immunophenotype and a relatively high Ki-67 index ruled out mucinous carcinoma and EPC, which typically express ER and PR. Mucoceloid lesions of the breast are benign lesions in which myoepithelium is present around the lumen. The absence of myoepithelium also ruled out this diagnosis . Invasive papillary carcinoma is composed of mildly dilated ducts and microcysts containing a papillary formation without intracellular and extracellular mucus. These cases are usually non-triple-negative phenotypes. Eventually, we favored the diagnosis of MCA based on the morphological and immunohistochemical findings. +Furthermore, 425 genes were sequenced using formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Recurrent mutations in PIK3CA, KRAS, MAP2K4, RB1, KDR, PKHD1, TERT, and TP53 were identified and are summarized in Table . The tumor mutation burden (TMB) was 9.27, and microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) was not detected. P53, RB1 and PD-L1 protein were stained according to the sequencing results. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the overexpression of p53 protein and loss of RB1 protein expression. PD-L1 (sp142) was focally positive in immune cells, and the positive rate was approximately 7% .

However, considering the MSI-H/dMMR incidence of up to 30% , our patient strongly expressed her willingness to do immunotherapy and chose the relatively affordable and cheap the PD-1 inhibitor tirilizumab produced in China. We informed our patient of the treatment purpose and risks, and signed an informed consent form. The patient then received triple therapy from November 30, 2022. The radiation oncologist implemented interstitial implantation radiotherapy at a prescribed dose of 10 Gy, combined with a subcutaneous injection of GM-CSF (200 µg) for one week. The tumor got an actual dose of 926.91 cGy. On December 2, 2022, the patient began immunotherapy with the PD-1 inhibitor tirilizumab (300 mg, ivgtt). shows the three-dimensional conformal dose assessment for interstitial implantation radiation therapy. After radiotherapy, the patient developed mild localized erythema. The patient now has no skin ulcers, no bilateral lower extremity edema or other complications, and only mild localized skin pigmentation. The patient’s efficacy evaluation showed a PR. After that, single-agent maintenance therapy with the PD-1 inhibitor tirilizumab was administered every three weeks. During immune maintenance therapy, the patient was temporarily free of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), like hemopoietic, thyroid, lung, and heart dysfunction. As of the follow-up in June 2023, abdominal CT suggested a smaller pelvic mass than before and CA125 was persistently decreasing (most recent CA125 was 18.30 U/ml) . The patient’s lesion achieved a PR and continues to benefit for more than six months. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_919_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_919_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a785ac60a1d6c7f1058a4e604d993799f177981a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_919_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 63-year-old male married , smoker , non-drinker was admitted to the hospital for the evaluation of a fever and a small amount of melena and hematemesis.

The patient completed the primary series of Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2), Dose 1 in December 2020 and Dose 2 in January 2021. Approximately three weeks after the second dose, the patient suddenly developed severe fatigue, flu-like symptoms, tachycardia, palpitations, orthostasis, right-sided chest pressure and dyspnea on exertion. SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing was negative at the time of the onset of these symptoms. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed normal left ventricular function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 65%, normal right ventricular size and function and a maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRVmax) of 3.09 m/s. The estimated right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 42 mmHg was interpreted as mild/moderate pulmonary hypertension . Laboratory studies including measurement of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (22 pg/mL; reference range < 900 pg/mL) were unremarkable except for elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and a hematocrit of 50%. Pulmonary computer tomography (CT) angiogram with 3D reconstruction of the PA tree was normal without evidence of pulmonary clots . The patient subsequently developed 15 lbs of fluid gain and generalized swelling, neck pressure, headaches and a feeling of “being hung upside down” consistent with jugular vein distention (JVD) and cerebral venous congestion. The resting oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 92% and there was new onset systolic and diastolic arterial hypertension. Symptoms and chest pressure occurred at rest and were exacerbated by exertion. Exercise and functional limitations were consistent with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class 3–4. Serial echocardiograms showed no worsening of RVSP and continued normal RV function . Symptoms and exercise tolerance improved to NYHA class 1–2 over one year. Fluid weight gain, swelling, tachycardia and arterial hypertension resolved and the resting SpO2 increased to 98–100%. Flu-like symptoms and fatigue diminished but did not disappear. RVSP remained elevated and essentially unchanged by follow up echocardiography . This case was reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS ID 1039123). +Case #2 is a previously healthy and active 56-year-old male, BMI 25, non-smoker, with a history of spontaneous deep venous thrombosis (DVT) on two occasions which were resolved with courses of anticoagulation without symptoms of pulmonary emboli. Hematologic investigation identified no clotting abnormalities. In 2005, an incidental isolated left superior vena cava was suspected by an otherwise normal transthoracic echocardiogram and confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient completed the primary series of Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) Dose 1 and Dose 2 in April 2021. Twelve days after the second dose, the patient experienced sudden onset fatigue, flu-like symptoms and dyspnea on exertion. SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing was negative at the time of the onset of these symptoms. Exercise tolerance was consistent with NYHA Class 2. The patient sought medical attention two weeks later, but a stress echocardiogram and CT pulmonary angiography were not performed until almost 4 months after vaccination. The stress echocardiogram revealed normal left ventricular function, an ejection fraction (EF) of 60%, ventricular ectopy and mild right-sided chamber enlargement. No right-sided pressures were measured. A pulmonary CT angiogram with 3D reconstruction revealed mosaic attenuation of lung parenchyma with relative pruning of distal pulmonary vessels and mild enlargement of the PA without evidence of pulmonary emboli . A Ventilation Perfusion (V/Q) scan was interpreted as near normal and a very low probability for pulmonary emboli. Despite the negative studies, anti-coagulation with rivaroxaban was started out of an abundance of caution due to patient’s distant history of DVT. A complete echocardiogram performed 5 months after vaccination measured a TRVmax of 2.82 m/s and calculated an RVSP of 40 mm Hg , suggesting a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. Follow-up echocardiography three months later measured a TRVmax of 3.22 m/s and estimated an RVSP of 46 mmHg . Subsequent right heart catheterization confirmed the diagnosis with directly measured systolic and diastolic PA pressures (PAP) of 44/18 mm Hg (mean 28 mm Hg) and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) calculated at 3.6 Woods units. An endothelin receptor antagonist was prescribed and then a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Fifteen months after vaccination, the patient’s exercise tolerance remained unchanged and consistent with NYHA Class 2 and the RVSP remained elevated at 49 mm Hg, estimated by a TRVmax of 3.22 m/s . The patient’s course was complicated by transient episodes of new onset atrial fibrillation. BNP remained in normal range at 99 pg/mL.

An esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a type-3 tumor at the middle intrathoracic esophagus (a), and a barium esophagography revealed an irregular stricture of the middle intrathoracic esophagus, measuring about 5 cm in length (b). Endoscopic biopsy specimens taken from the tumor histologically showed poorly differentiated squamous carcinoma, and an enhanced computed tomography (CT) work-up revealed thickening of the esophageal wall and swelling of a mediastinal lymph node without any distant organ metastases (a, b). She was diagnosed with an advanced ESCC with cT3N1M0, and underwent radical subtotal esophagectomy with three-field lymph node dissection. +The gross examination of the specimen showed that there was a type-3 tumor measuring 45 × 15 mm in consonance with an unstained area of iodine staining (a). Microscopic findings of the low-power field revealed invasion into the adventitia without exposure of the tumor (b), and those of high-power field also revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with multiple lymph node metastases; these findings led to a diagnosis of pT3N1M0 (c). However, she had been sequentially administered adjuvant doublet chemotherapy using cisplatin and 5-FU, grade 4 hematological toxicity, and hepatobiliary disorders aborted it during the first course. She was then followed for 6 years without recurrence; however, chest X-ray and CT examinations at the 7-year follow-up revealed a 1.5-cm-diameter solitary pulmonary tumor at right middle lobe with (a, b). In addition, positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT) also showed abnormal uptake of this pulmonary tumor (c). Although we could not preoperatively perform CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy due to the deep location of the tumor, any regional lymph nodes or distant metastases were undetected; therefore, we performed thoracoscopic partial resection of the right middle lobe. +Microscopic findings of low-power field revealed that there was a solid tumor with necrotizing compartments, and those of high-power field also revealed that tumor cells proliferate without having a basement membrane-like structure (a, b). From these findings, morphological features led to the diagnosis of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. An immunohistochemical examination was performed to identify the origin of the tumor primary lung cancer or pulmonary metastasis from ESCC. The tumor cells of primary ESCC were positive for CK14, CK18, CK19, and CK5/6 (a–d). On the other hand, the tumor cells of the lung tumor were negative for CK14, napsin A, and synaptophysin (a–f). From these immunohistochemical features, the pulmonary tumor was not derived from both alveolar epithelium and neuroendocrine cells; thus, we finally made the diagnosis of super-late pulmonary recurrence of ESCC. This patient was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 10 without any complications, and no recurrence was noted for four years after pulmonary metastasectomy. \ No newline at end of file
