Pelvic computed tomography (CT) examination showed a 1.5 cm nodular soft tissue shadow at the left anterior wall of the bladder . The patient then underwent the procedure of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Resected sample was formalin fixed, paraffin embedded. The tissue blocks were cut into 3-μm sections, which were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic examination showed the neoplasm was composed of spindle or ovoid-shaped cells that formed storiform, nested or swirling patterns. It involved mucosa and submucosa layers. The neoplastic spindle cells had indistinct cytoplasmic borders, a moderate amount of lightly acidophilic cytoplasm, round or ovoid nuclei with a thin nuclear membrane and small nucleoli. Abundant mitotic Figs. (30 mitoses/10 high-power fields) and apoptotic bodies were present, with no necrosis and hemorrhage. Multinucleated cells and pleomorphic cells were also seen. Some mature lymphocytes infiltrated between tumor cells and in perivascular spaces . The residual lymphoid tissue was limited to small follicles. +Immunohistochemical stains were performed in our laboratory, utilizing an avidin biotin peroxidase complex method. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed and then the tissue was incubated with antibodies. Mouse monoclonal anti-human antibodies against CD3, CD5, CD20, CD21, CD23, CD30, CD56, CK, CK7, EMA, HMB45, Melan A, SMA, Vimentin, rabbit polyclonal anti-human antibodies against S-100, were purchased from Leica company.

Mouse monoclonal anti-human antibody BRAF V600E (VE1) was purchased from Roche company. +The tumor cells were positive for CD21 and vimentin, partly positive for CD23, D2–40 and CD35. The tumor cells were negative for CK, CK5/6, EMA, CK7, CK20, P63, P40, Uroplakin, Desmin, SMA, S100, TFE-3, HMB45, MelanA, MPO, ALK, CD3, CD5, CD20 and CD30. Ki-67 was expressed in about 30% of the tumor cell nuclei . Silver staining demonstrated abundant fibers circumfused each tumor cell. The pathological diagnosis of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma was given based on the morphology and immunohistochemistry. +Six weeks later, the tumor recurred, which appeared widely based, deeper than the primary surgical scar and was about 1.5 × 2 cm in size. A second transurethral resection was performed and microscopically the FDCS still could be seen in bladder mucosa and submucosa. FDCS tumor cells were similar to those seen in the previous sample, which were spindle-shaped with round or ovoid nuclei with small nucleoli. But the number of mitotic Figs. (10 mitoses/10 high-power fields) was lower than that of the first sample. However, the tumor cells were found to infiltrate in muscularis propria. It was surprising that there was also an invasive urothelial carcinoma that was mixed with the FDCS. The UC of bladder infiltrated in mucosa and submucosa. The tumor cells of UC were arranged in nest or cord pattern, the cytoplasm was acidophilic and the nuclear were irregular. . Using immunohischemistry, UC were positive for CK, CK20, P63, GATA-3, negative for CD21, CD23, CD35 and D2–40. Otherwise, FDCS were positive for Vimentin, CD21, CD23, CD35 and D2–40, negative for CK and CK20. . UC and FDCS were both positive for P16, P53 and EGFR, and both negative for BRAF. +Because the second resection site was closed to the first one, we suspected the first sample might have been associated with urothelial carcinoma that was undetected in the first sample. We then obtained deeper levels of the initially resected tumor. Indeed, we identified the urothelial carcinoma in the deeper levels, which was coexisting with FDCS . After the second surgery the patient was treated with chemotherapy. At the time of writing this report, the patient had haven another relapse of urothelial carcinoma and one relapse of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1029_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1029_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c28e9eda77ef500ad2de10f49172e18b3cb6c313 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1029_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +Our patient is a 66-year-old Eritrean gentleman, who presented to our emergency department with severe epigastric pain and a history of a growing abdominal wall mass.

The patient had a D-shaped small left ventricle (LV) with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 59%. Mitral valve leaflets were normal with no MR detected . Moderate tricuspid regurgitation (Grade II) due to dilated tricuspid valve annulus (46 mm) and mild pulmonary hypertension were observed. The rims to both sides of the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava were short, thus surgical repair of ASD under mini-thoracotomy was planned. +In the operating room, standard vital signs (pulse oximetry, end-tidal carbon dioxide, electrocardiogram, and non-invasive blood pressure) were monitored. The left radial artery was catheterized for continuous arterial blood pressure monitoring. After 3 min of 100% pre-oxygenation, general anesthesia was induced with midazolam (3 mg) followed by continuous infusion of propofol with remifentanil, and bolus administration of rocuronium (50 mg). The patient was intubated with a 35 Fr left-sided double-lumen tube for one-lung ventilation. A central venous catheter was inserted via the right subclavian vein because the right internal jugular vein was reserved for superior vena cava cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A TEE probe was inserted to permit close observation. +Right anterolateral mini-thoracotomy was done via 4th Intercostal space. Following full anticoagulation with heparin given at a dose of 300 IU/kg, CPB was instituted using femoral artery, femoral vein and right internal jugular vein cannulation. Next, the aortic Detachable Glauber clamp (Cardiomedical GmbH, Germany) was deployed for aortic cross-clamp, and 2000 mL of Custodiol® HTK (Koehler Chemie, Bensheim, Germany) solution was infused through aortic root cannula for myocardial protection. Moderate Hypothermia of 31.5 °C was permitted as measured by nasopharyngeal and rectal probes. Subsequently, right atrium was opened and ASD was closed with a trimmed bovine pericardial patch. Tricuspid ring annuloplasty and right atrium reduction plasty were also conducted. After completion of the operation, right atrium was closed and CPB was weaned. +Intra-operative TEE showed that ASD was closed with no remnant inter-atrial shunt.

We also performed a bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy, with a Gibson incision in order to protect the corroded tissues from further urine impregnation . From a combination of regional radiotherapy and bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy, total dryness of the wound was achieved. During his extended hospitalization, he presented with deep vein thrombosis in the right shin vein and seizures that were attributed to small ischemic brain strokes after a brain CT scan. Debulking and flap coverage of the wound was not considered possible, firstly because of deep vein thrombosis, epileptic seizures and his poor general condition increased the risk from operation and secondly the size of the chasm combined with very poor vascularization of the region (a topical angiography was performed).

However, due to the postoperative total colectomy and deterioration of general condition, it was decided that intestinal resection was impossible, and treatment with blood transfusion and haemostatic agents was planned. At that time, the colour of stoma did not change greatly and there were no necrosis sites. +The patient's condition gradually worsened even after treatment, and over time, he developed liver and renal dysfunction and died 16 days after surgery. +NOMI is a disorder that causes irreversible ischaemia in the intestine, resulting in intestinal necrosis, despite the absence of organic obstruction in the mesenteric artery trunk. This phenomenon was first reported by Heer and includes the following characteristics: (1) no obstruction in the mesenteric arteries or veins governed by intestinal necrosis, (2) segmental discontinuity of intestinal ischaemia and necrosis, and (3) pathological evidence of intestinal haemorrhage and necrosis. We define NOMI as satisfying these conditions. From 12 to 25% of acute intestinal ischaemia is thought to be due to NOMI in Europe and America [, ]. Various triggers increase hypoxia of the intestinal tract tissue, reduce cardiac output, and decrease circulating blood volume. As a result, the sympathetic nerves in the peripheral blood vessels of the mesenteric artery overreact, causing vasospasms and intestinal ischaemia. Since these spasms occur at random, the ischaemic area is sporadic. Fogaty suggests that severe congestive heart failure, digitalis intoxication, and blood concentration are important factors affecting this disorder and that dehydration is significantly related to vasopressin due to low cardiac output, haemorrhage, and shock. He asserts that vasopressin and angiotensin increase in the blood due to low cardiac output, haemorrhage, shock, etc., causing catecholamine-induced spasms of the mesenteric artery and resulting in NOMI. In addition, the general risk factors for NOMI are increased age, heart disease, arrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, burns, dialysis, dehydration, haemorrhage, and pancreatitis [–]. In any case, the basis of the pathology is considered a decrease in circulating blood volume. Pelvic fractures generally cause excessive bleeding in trauma, anywhere from 1000 to 4000 ml . In our patient, bleeding from a pelvic fracture caused a rapid decrease in circulating blood volume, and at one point, the patient was in shock. TAE was performed for active bleeding, and NOMI developed the next day, although haemostasis was attained. When a pelvic fracture with a large volume of blood loss occurs, the risk of NOMI onset should not be ignored. +NOMI has no specific symptoms. Some of the many non-specific symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distension, and melena, but these symptoms are often mild during onset. In particular, it is difficult to identify these symptoms in cases of sedation, analgesia, and consciousness disorder. In these cases, diagnosis is likely to be delayed. Similarly, in our case, it was difficult to diagnose intestinal ischaemia based on clinical symptoms, because analgesics are used for pelvic fractures, and systemic contusions are caused by trauma. Blood work showed an increase in deviant enzymes, but the diagnosis was made even more difficult after TAE was performed for active bleeding. In our case, follow-up CT was performed to identify active bleeding, but it is important to consider CT examination as necessary, keeping in mind that NOMI is caused by bleeding from trauma. +When NOMI is considered as a diagnosis, one of the treatments is injection of a vasodilator into the responsible blood vessel using angiography , but this method is limited by equipment availability and the specific situation. In our case, a vasodilator could not be used due to instability of vital signs from bleeding. If intestinal necrosis is already suspected, as in our case, immediate surgical intervention is needed. At the time of surgery, it is important not only to remove the necrotic intestine but also to evaluate the viability of the remaining intestine. Intestinal ischaemia can be extensive postoperatively, and care must be taken in determining the extent of resection. When deciding the extent of resection, there is a method of observing changes in the colour tone of the mucous membrane using an intraoperative lower gastrointestinal endoscope and blood flow evaluation by fluorescein fluorescence [, ]. However, these methods may be difficult depending on equipment availability and the situation. In our case, we found clear discontinuous necrosis in the serosa of the caecum, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon. Therefore, we decided to remove the intestinal tract from the ascending colon to the sigmoid colon. Since only diffuse and mild oedema and redness in the small intestine were noted and no obvious necrosis was observed, we decided to preserve it and constructed an artificial anus in the terminal ileum. However, the small intestines became necrotic after a few days, eventually resulting in widespread intestinal necrosis. Of note, the prognosis cannot be judged only by the surgical findings. If long-term dilatation of the small intestine is observed after heavy bleeding, it is important to consider intestinal necrosis rather than assuming it as paralytic ileus. In that case, it is necessary to comprehensively judge clinical symptoms, vital signs, and imaging findings, but the diagnosis is very difficult. Importantly, pelvic fractures are typically accompanied by high blood loss, so even if active bleeding subsides and vital stability is obtained, NOMI may develop over time. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1158_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1158_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5ca09b824ca70238301dc2ff51fabcb21933b7ca --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1158_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +Registering a cleft lip and palate at 26 wk of gestation and delayed motor development at 2 years of age. +The patient, a 2-year-and-8-month-old Mexican girl, was brought by her parents for evaluation because of delays in her motor and language development and congenital malformations.

She had unremarkable medical history aside from a history of trauma in the left masseteric area when she was 4 years old. On physical examinations, surface texture and color of the skin and mucosa were in normal range without swelling or tenderness. When palpated, well-defined, oval-shaped, and movable nodules in her left cheek, less than 1 cm × 1 cm in size, were identified. Panorama and CT examinations were performed, and multiple radiopaque masses were observed inside the left masseter muscle . The function of facial nerve and salivary flow of Stensen’s duct were normal. No trismus and cervical lymphadenopathy were noted. Blood test results were also normal. Serum calcium level was 9.4 g/dL and serum phosphorus level was 3.9 g/dL which were within normal ranges. From the clinical and radiographic evaluation whilst considering a history of trauma, the calcified mass was diagnosed as dystrophic calcification, which is known to occur in soft tissues, commonly in those with a history of trauma and the absence of systemic mineral imbalance. +Surgery was planned to remove the dystrophic calcification of the left masseter muscle. After intraoral incision in the left buccal mucosa, cautious dissection of masseter muscle was done. Muscle fibers of masseter were longitudinally separated to expose the calcified masses. They were firmly attached to the masseter muscle fibers and were bluntly separated from the muscle tissue. The three calcified masses, with the largest, having a size of 0.6 × 0.5 × 0.4 cm, presenting a round-oval shape and whitish-yellow in color, were removed with the attached muscle fibers .After the calcified masses were excised completely, hemostasis was achieved and wound was sutured in layers. Postoperative recovery was uneventful with no damage to nearby structures such as nerves or Stensen’s duct. Postoperative CT imaging was taken, and complete removal of the calcified masses was confirmed . Histopathological examination revealed microscopically ovoid hyalinized material with calcification in their center but could not be found fibrous tissue or vascular structure around the materials . +There is a variety of conditions that may cause abnormal calcification in various tissues. It may have some connection with abnormal calcium phosphate metabolism as seen in metastatic calcifications . However, dystrophic calcification is deposition of calcium salt in degenerated tissues related to normal calcium and phosphorous metabolism . It is known that dystrophic calcification can occur in any soft tissue with the absence of a systemic mineral imbalance, easily found in the site of the heart muscle and skeletal muscle. It rarely appears in the gingiva, tongue, lymph nodes, and facial muscles and usually occurs in injured tissues [, ]. Based on the literature, our case is the fifth case of dystrophic calcification in a masseteric area to be reported . +The pathogenesis of dystrophic calcification is known to involve intracellular or extracellular initiation and propagation. Intracellular calcification is initiated with dead or dying cells that are not able to regulate intracellular calcium. After initiation, propagation of calcium phosphate crystalline formation occurs, which is affected by the concentration of Ca2+and PO4− in the extracellular space . Dystrophic calcification occurs when calcium is accumulated in the area of trauma or necrosis which may be caused by blunt trauma, inflammation, injections, and the presence of parasites . +In many cases, it appears early in childhood but it often tends to be diagnosed late since it shows no signs or symptoms. Therefore, it is found after lesion is enlarged enough to be palpated. In our case, we suppose that dystrophic calcification was caused by a trauma experienced at a young age. Because there had been no symptoms such as swelling or pain, it was discovered after a long period of time. +Different types of calcifications, including phleboliths, sialoliths, myositis ossificans, metastatic calcification, calcifications within lymph nodes, and calcified cutaneous aces, may occur in the cheek area, and they need to be distinguished from dystrophic calcification. Phleboliths are pathological, calcified thrombi that are associated with hemangiomas and developmental vascular malformations of the head and neck region . Radiographically, they appear as round or oval radiopaque nodules, which may show a radiopaque center with surrounding onion ring-like concentric calcific rings . In this case, there was no evidence of hemangioma or vascular malformation clinically and radiographically. Also, the calcified mass had no radiopaque center and concentric rings. +On the other hand, sialoliths are one of the most common diseases that appear in the salivary glands. Sialoliths of the parotid gland or duct need to be distinguished from calcification of the cheek, because the parotid gland is located behind the masseter muscle, with the Stensen’s duct, passing through it before opening into the oral cavity. Sialoliths may be composed of one or more stones and may cause pain or swelling when the salivary gland is stimulated by eating . In our case, we ruled out a diagnosis of such because the calcified masses were located inside the masseter muscle, away from the Stensen’s duct or parotid gland based on the CT images. In addition, salivary flow of the duct was found to be normal. +Another differential diagnosis is myositis ossificans which results from trauma or heavy muscular strain associated with the bone or cartilage, producing reactive lesions. Clinically, it can be palpated beneath the skin or mucosa, as a minimally movable firm mass . When the lesion is located within a muscle of mastication, it usually causes trismus because of limitation of the muscle . On a radiograph, the linear streaks running in the same direction as the normal muscle fibers are regarded as a typical character for myositis ossificans . In our case, the patient had no trismus and the radiographic finding was different from myositis ossificans . +In addition, calcifications within lymph nodes commonly involve cervical lymph nodes with metastatic deposits from malignancies such as squamous cell carcinoma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. On a radiograph, they most often are irregular with a cauliflower appearance . Metastatic calcifications occur due to increased calcium levels in the blood. Chronic renal failure, milk-alkali syndrome, extensive bone malignancy, and hypervitaminosis D are some of the conditions known to cause metastatic calcifications . In our case, there was no evidence of malignancy causing metastasis or systemic mineral imbalance. +Due to this wide variety of diagnostic possibilities including phleboliths, sialoliths, myositis ossificans, calcification within lymph nodes, and the potential for malignancy, it is important to establish a proper diagnosis . In fact, physiologic and pathologic soft tissue calcification of the head and neck is rare, and plain radiography is rarely helpful in diagnosing . Therefore, thorough clinical examination and history taking is required together with blood testing and radiographic examinations such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound. In addition, fine needle aspiration for checking the contents of the lesions if deemed indicated can also help in confirming the diagnosis. The final diagnosis should be obtained after acquiring relevant information, and only then, the appropriate treatment can take place . There is no established protocol for its treatment. Some clinicians have recommended observation. However, various factors such as the size and location of the lesion, and patient discomfort should be put into consideration. In such cases and if deemed necessary, meticulous surgical excision and periodic follow up are recommended [, ]. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1362_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1362_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1bb8f03f0c2fa2bc2f176afa6fdb8b002c34d10b --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1362_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 65-year-old man visited our outpatient department for left calf pain and swelling. +Two weeks prior to presentation, he had slipped and injured his left leg.

A detailed epidemiological investigation of the suspected rabies case was performed. +The woman was a farmer living in a rural area of Xuchang, Henan Province, China. She lived with her husband and two sons, and said she had not travelled anywhere recently. At about 17:00 on 25 August 2012, the woman and her 7-year-old son were attacked by a stray dog while walking nearby to their village; the woman sustained bites on her right thigh while her son had bites on his left calf. Villagers caught and killed the dog, and it was buried on the village outskirts without laboratory investigation for RV. Believing the wound would result in a severe disability for her child, the mother washed the son’s bites with municipal tap water (without soap) shortly after the incident. On 26 August, she took her son to the healthcare unit in their village, where the boy received a rabies vaccine and completed a full course of standard vaccines (freeze-dried rabies vaccine for human use [Vero cells], Liaoning Chengda Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Dalian City, Liaoning Province, China; a five-dose vaccination regimen on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28). In contrast, the mother did not recognize the risk posed to her by the dog bite, and only washed her own wounds the following day, following the doctor’s advice. However, she declined the rabies vaccine for economic reasons. Both the mother’s and son’s wounds were determined by the doctor to constitute category III exposure bites (single or multiple transdermal bites or scratches; contamination of mucous membrane with saliva, i.e. licks), according to the classification criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) . However, neither the mother nor her son were treated as recommended by the WHO for category III rabies exposure, which requires wound cleaning, rabies vaccination, and direct wound infiltration with rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) .

The patient had unremarkable medical history, was normolipemic, nonalcohol drinker, smoker (6–19 cigarettes/day) for 30 years, and was taking no medications. On clinical examination, an asymptomatic pink-white, well-demarcated, sessile lesion with a granular surface and slightly raised margins measuring 1 × 0.5 × 0.3 cm was observed in the left lateral lingual border which extended to the ventral surface of the tongue. The lesion was soft in consistency on palpation and closely related to an area of combined white plaque and striae . Similar white striae in a reticular pattern were also observed in the right and left buccal mucosa consistent with the clinical diagnosis of OLP . There was no evidence of cervical lymph node enlargement. The extraoral examination performed by a dermatologist did not reveal any skin or genital lesions. Regarding the tongue lesion, the possibility of malignancy arising within OLP of the reticular/hypertrophic type was taken under consideration. An incisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia from a region that included both the granular and the whitish tongue lesions. +Microscopic examination showed hyperparakeratosis and acanthosis with projections of the surface epithelium in a verrucous pattern, intense orange parakeratin plugs, and elongated thickened rete ridges . Epithelial cell atypia was not evident. Accumulation of foamy cells in the subepithelial connective tissue confined in the lamina propria papillae was noted with sparse inflammatory infiltrates . The oral mucosa adjacent to the lesion demonstrated histopathological features consistent with lichen planus. Specifically, the epithelial hyperplastic pattern in a transitional manner changed into a relatively thinner squamous epithelium that exhibited parakeratosis, basal cell hydropic degeneration, and a band-like subepithelial dense chronic inflammatory infiltrate mainly by lymphocytes (, inset). Based on the clinical and histopathological findings, a final diagnosis of VX with concomitant oral lichen planus features was rendered using the accepted diagnostic criteria for OLP . +Immunohistochemical evaluation on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections was performed using CD68 antibody (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) on a Ventana NexES automated immunohistochemistry system (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ).

A physical examination was conducted which showed his blood pressure to be normotensive and his measured pulse rate and body temperature to be within normal limits. His initial laboratory results showed an increased hematocrit level of 69%, a hemoglobin level of 23g/dl, and a white blood cell count of 15.5×1000/μL. Initially he seemed to be hemodynamically stable with no signs of dyspnea. He experienced a rapid decrease of total proteins (5.67g/dl decreasing to 2.02g/dl within 72 hours) and began to exhibit hemodynamic instability, at which point he was admitted to our intensive care unit (ICU) and treated with catecholamines. Due to an increasing pulmonary insufficiency an endotracheal intubation was performed immediately. A massive emission of fluids and proteins from the intravascular to the extracellular compartments caused a generalized compartment syndrome to develop. Over 24 hours after admission to the ICU our patient developed compartment syndromes in both his upper and lower limbs and the abdominal compartment. The abdominal compartment syndrome was diagnosed by measuring the intra-abdominal pressure through a urinary catheter. The highest measured intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was 26mm/Hg and therefore a diagnosis of abdominal compartment syndrome Grade IV was made. His abdomen and all four limbs required decompression by a fasciotomy of both forearms, both thighs, both lower legs, and the abdomen. The surgeries were performed 24 hours after admission to the clinic. Vacuum-assisted dressings were placed first on his lower limbs. During a second revision operation vacuum-assisted dressings were placed on his upper limbs to assist with monitoring the edema and in preparation for the definite closure of the fasciotomy wounds. The dressing of his abdomen included putting the intestine into a sac and covering it with a transparency dressing. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was required three days after admission due to acute renal failure. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHD) was applied for a total of four days. The blood levels of creatinine and urea returned to normal after three days of CVVHD and he gained back full renal function. Before CVVHD the highest creatinine level amounted to 1.4mg/dl and after renal replacement therapy (before discharge from the hospital) it decreased to 0.6mg/dl. The urea levels also decreased from 80mg/dl to 17mg/dl. The hematological parameters returned to their normal limits by the fourth day of admission . The clinical diagnostics included cultures of the blood, urine, stool, sputum, and intra-operative tissue samples which were all analyzed for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as for fungus. The results of the samples were all negative. After ruling out the differential diagnoses the diagnosis of a SCLS was confirmed, with secondary abdominal compartment and compartment syndromes in all four limbs. The secondary closure of the abdomen had been performed 16 days after admission and 23 days after admission we were able to remove the vacuum-assisted pumps and proceed in closing all wounds . His upper limbs required skin grafting . His lower limbs showed weakness in the dorsal flexion of the feet and toes, therefore peroneal splints were adjusted to his feet. His upper limbs showed residual deficits of fine motor skills, especially the left upper limb. These deficits had been improved with hand therapy. Our patient was moved to the rheumatology ward after 23 days in our ICU. He was started on medical prophylactic treatment with theophylline and terbutaline in combination with steroid therapy (prednisolone). During remission induction therapy the dose of theophylline ranged between 1200 and 1600mg per day in order to achieve serum concentrations between 20 and 25mg/dl. Before discharging him the theophylline dose was reduced to 1000mg/day. In order to obtain the remission advised to achieve peak serum concentrations between 10 and 20mg/dl, terbutaline was first given at a total dose of 20mg per day in divided doses. Before he was discharged the dose was reduced to 10mg per day. We recommended that he should continue to take theophylline and terbutaline for the rest of his life. Methylprednisolone was applied intravenously while in remission induction therapy at a dose of 40mg per day. After remission was induced the prednisolone was gradually reduced to 15mg/day. We recommended maintaining the gradual reduction of that dose. +After 60 days of treatment he was discharged from the clinic.

Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple sternal fractures, bilateral multiple rib fractures from the first to the seventh ribs , and bilateral hemopneumothorax. The anterior chest wall was depressed due to multiple fractures . Closed thoracic drainage was performed bilaterally in the intensive care unit (ICU). The paradoxical movement gradually worsened, and respiratory failure emerged (Video S). +The patient had been consistently administrated with ventilator-assisted ventilation for over 1 week, however, no improvement of paradoxical respiration was observed. More importantly, the patient suffered from a more severe lung infection and the blood oxygen saturation decreased obviously. Therefore, a multidisciplinary discussion including experts from departments of thoracic surgery, ICU, respiration, radiology, as well as anaesthesiology was organized. The physicians from the respiratory department and ICU insisted that the patient still required ventilator-assisted ventilation although it could not ameliorate severe abnormal breathing, extra antibiotic usage with effective lung care might be useful to suppress lung inflammation, the most important treatment was to perform chest wall fixation. With the three-dimensional bone reconstruction images of chest wall provided by the radiology department, the chief physician from the thoracic surgery department indicated that it was not suitable to perform conventional rib and sternum fixation in this case as the images clearly showed too many fracture sites in ribs (including costal cartilage), sternum, anterior as well as lateral chest wall , thus this method could not establish a stable chest wall, and time-consuming, traumatic, more bleeding and costly. We noticed the use of Nuss procedure in trauma had been previously reported [–]. It was a new effective treatment for severe flail chest patients who couldn’t survive without prolonged mechanical ventilation. The most important advantages for the Nuss procedure were minimally invasive and much less time-consuming. However, it was not suitable when there were combined fractures in both the anterior and lateral chest walls as the Nuss bar required a stable lateral chest wall to guarantee the physical support, which the patient lacked. Therefore, neither the Nuss procedure nor rib fixation could completely fix the chest wall and eliminate abnormal breathing. We then proposed a strategy to combine the Nuss procedure with rib fixation. First, the rib fixation rebuilt a stable lateral chest wall, then the Nuss procedure stabilized the front chest wall. This strategy was also supported by the physicians from the anaesthesiology department as he mentioned that the conventional rib and sternum fixation could severely influence the patient’s respiratory and circulatory system during the operation. Finally, combining the use of the Nuss procedure and rib fixation was determined after the multidisciplinary discussion. +First, the right third and fourth and the left fifth fractured lateral ribs were stabilized using rib fixation plates (Seemine SMA Co., LTD, Gansu, China) to stabilize both lateral chest walls . Then the thoracoscopy-assisted Nuss procedure was performed. Two Nuss bars (GRINM Advanced Materials Co., LTD, Beijing, China) were inserted into the third and fifth intercostal spaces of both sides for elevating and stabilizing the depressed mid sternum and fractured ribs at the anterior chest wall respectively to avoid the fractured sites of the ribs . The Nuss procedure process was as follows: one 40 cm Nuss bar was bent into a symmetric arc shape. Two skin incisions (1.5 cm) were made on both lateral chest walls in the mid-axillary line at the third intercostal space. Submuscular tunnels were made the outside pleural entry and exit points. The right entry point was punctured with an introducer, and a 1 cm thoracoscope was placed into the pleural cavity. The mediastinum was dissected under direct vision. The exit point at the left side was punctured under direct visual guidance as well, and a 32F chest tube passed through the tunnel created by the introducer. The bar was positioned by following the guidance of the chest tube. The Nuss bar was rotated, and the depressed anterior upper chest wall was elevated. However, the shape of the anterior lower chest wall still had depression resulting from the large fractured areas, and paradoxical movement existed too. Therefore, another 40 cm Nuss bar was inserted at the fifth intercostal space with the same method. Two bars finally were fixed on the stable lateral ribs with steel wires. Finally, two Nuss bars and three rib fixation plates simultaneously exert sustained support, and the shape of the chest wall was nearly perfect . +No complications occurred during the procedure (surgical time 85 min, bleeding volume 50 mL). Paradoxical respiration was eliminated immediately postoperation. The patient was weaned from mechanical ventilation on the third postoperative day. He recovered smoothly and was discharged 2 weeks after the operation. No short-term complications were found except pain and activity limitations, and the pain was blocked using epidural anaesthesia after the operation. Three months later, the patient had no pain and activity limitations, but only complained numbness at the surgical incisions. One year later, the patient lived a normal life without any adverse events. We have scheduled a completed examination including chest CT scan and three-dimensional bone reconstruction for this patient, the Nuss bars and rib fixation plates will be removed immediately once the chest wall fully recovered. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1616_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1616_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b18ae867013ee889de9bdeb53eee892ca3f18668 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1616_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 70-year-old Japanese man, who had undergone esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction via the antesternal route for spontaneous esophageal rupture 28 years previously, was hospitalized due to redness of the precordial skin, which had persisted for 1 month .

Laboratory analysis revealed anemia (hemoglobin = 10.6 g/dL), thrombocytosis (43.9 × 104/μL), and elevation of C-reactive protein (2.71 mg/dl). The remaining laboratory examinations were within normal ranges, including tumor markers α-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and cancer antigen (CA)19-9.

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed a cystic mass measuring 13 × 14 × 11 cm in the right lobe of the liver with enhanced mural nodule . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen showed hyperintense components on T2-weighted imaging, compatible with the hemorrhagic area . Abnormal accumulation was seen on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) of the liver and lower abdomen . We then planned excision of the tumor and performed hepatectomy of the posterior segment and partial resection of the omentum, which had been detected on FDG-PET. Gross examination of the hepatic tumor showed a massive cystic tumor measuring 18 × 15 cm containing hemorrhagic fluid, and mucinous, hemorrhagic brownish or yellowish multinodular tumors were observed in the extra cystic wall area . The omental tumors were two slightly brownish, nodular tumors measuring 2.1 × 1.3 and 0.3 × 0.3 cm . Microscopically, both hepatic and omental tumors comprised tubular, cystic, or spindle structures of epithelioid cells with clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm . Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for AE1/AE3, EMA, CK19, CK7, CD10, and calretinin , partly or weakly positive for CK5/6, D2-40, vimentin, and WT-1, and negative for HepPer1, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, CEA, inhibin α, MUC1, melan A, HMB45, CA19-9, ER, PgR, CD34, bcl-2, and β-catenin . Ki-67 index was 5–6% . The final pathological diagnosis was multiple low-grade malignant epithelioid mesothelioma. As of the time of writing, 6 months postoperatively, the patient has shown no disease recurrence. +Malignant mesothelioma commonly arises from the pleura, but can also arise from the peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis testis . However, malignant mesothelioma of the liver is extremely rare and coexistence with malignant mesothelioma of the greater omentum has not been addressed in the literature. Mesothelioma of the liver may arise from Glisson’s capsule, the hepatic falciform ligament or fibrous connective tissue, and then expand to the liver parenchyma . To search the literatures, we used key words of intrahepatic, malignant, and mesothelioma and found 12 case reports which have described primary intrahepatic malignant mesothelioma [–] . In detail, these cases involved six men and six women, with a mean age of 58.4 years (range, 41–68 years). Our case represents the youngest female case among these reported cases. Although conventional mesothelioma is frequently associated with asbestos exposure, only 1 case had a clear history of asbestos exposure. Among the remaining 10 cases, 8 cases had no history of asbestos exposure and 3 were not evaluated. One case had a history of viral hepatitis, and 9 cases did not. Mean tumor size was 12.2 cm (range, 3.2–24 cm), and our case showed the third largest mass. Gross finding of the tumor was a cystic mass which is not common, and there was no report of case with cystic tumor ever. This tumor contained hemorrhagic fluid; therefore, we thought that the tumor might have bled and formed cystic mass. In 10 cases, the tumor arose in the right lobe, as in our case, and only one tumor arose in the left lobe. Surgery was performed in 10 cases, and only 1 case received best supportive care, due to systemic lymph node swelling and rupture of the tumor . Pathologically, malignant mesothelioma is classifiable into three subtypes: epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic. The epithelioid type is the most common type, and tubulopapillary or solid variations can be seen in the tumor . The tumor in our case was also diagnosed as epithelioid type, but showed atypical findings such as solid and tubular, cystic, or spindle components in the tumor, clearly partitioned from normal liver tissue by a fibrous capsule. The tumor showed partial hyalinization, but no necrosis. Typical immunohistochemical features are positive results for calretinin, vimentin, cytokeratin, WT-1, and D2-40 and negative results for CD34, CEA, AFP, and Ber-EP4, as seen in our case . In terms of tumor proliferative activity, Ki-67 index in the typical malignant mesothelioma is 15–20% , but was 5–6% in our case. The tumor was therefore diagnosed as a low-grade malignant tumor, and metastasis was considered unlikely, although a primary malignant omental mesothelioma is also a rare disease. We found only 2 case reports of malignant mesothelioma of the omentum researching with key words of greater omentum, malignant, and mesothelioma [, ]. It was difficult to distinguish multiple tumor from metastatic omental tumor in our case. Multiple malignant mesotheliomas and metastasis of low-grade malignant mesothelioma are both unlikely. The omental tumor cells were positive for AE1/AE3, CK19, CK7, EMA, C D10, and calretinin, partly for CK5/6, D2-40, and vimentin, and negative for HepPer1, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, CEA, inhibin, MUC1, melan A, HMB45, CA19-9, ER, PgR, CD34, bcl-2, and β-catenin that was same findings with hepatic tumor. However, both tumors have fibrous capsule without invasion of tumor cells. Moreover, both tumors had lower proliferated activity and considered to be low-grade malignant tumor. Basing on these pathological findings, we should diagnose the tumors as multiple mesotheliomas, although we are not able to deny a possibility of dissemination. Concerning about the outcome, lymph node relapse has only been reported in 2 cases, and they were alive at 2 or 36 months after relapse without hematogenous metastatic disease [, ].

Her past and family histories were unremarkable. In the local hospital, thyroid function tests demonstrated high levels of free tri-iodothyronine (FT3) 10.18 pmol/L (3.1–6.89 pmol/L), free thyroxine (FT4) 25.8 pmol/L (11–22 pmol/L), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 8.6 mU/L (0.27–4.2 mIU/L). Thyroid ultrasound revealed a solid, slightly hyperechoic nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid (9.6 × 7.8 × 10.1 mm). Based on this funding, the patient was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and given methimazole (MMI, 5 mg bid). After 20 days, her thyroid function test was rechecked: FT3 was 7.97 pmol/L, FT4 was 19.8 pmol/L, and TSH was 10.49 mU/L. A local hospital suspected the patient had TSHoma. Further inquiries did not find a family history of thyroid dysfunction. +On examination at our hospital, her body mass index (BMI) was 22.8 kg/m2, her blood pressure and heart rate were 116/79 mmHg and 105 bpm, respectively, and her body temperature was 37 °C. Physical examination showed a degree 2 enlarged thyroid gland with no oculopathy or symptoms of acromegaly (Supplementary Figure ). +Endocrine function tests showed an elevated TSH level of 12.26 mU/L with high levels of FT3 8.99 pmol/L and FT4 19.78 pmol/L. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) was 93.3 nmol/L (34.3–147 nmol/L). Thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) was 271.70 IU/mL (0–115 IU/mL), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) was 455.91 IU/mL (0–5.61 IU/mL), and thyroid receptor antibody (TRAb) was negative . The α-subunit was not measured. After polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation, the TSH level was 9.1 to 3.48 mU/L, GH was 4.82 μg/L (0–8 μg/L), and IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was 661.00 ng/mL (115–307 ng/mL, Table ). An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed that the GH level decreased from 4.82 to 2.65 μg/L (Supplementary Figure ). During a 24-h octreotide suppression test (0.1 mg subcutaneously every 4 hours during the first 12 h), TSH declined from 8.09 to 1.518 mIU/l, GH decreased from 4.31 to 0.24 mIU/l, and the suppression ratios of TSH and GH were 81.2 and 94.4%, respectively . Other endocrine hormone levels were within the normal range: adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) was 35.86 ng/mL (7.2–63.3 ng/L), cortisol was 304.2 nmol/L (66–579.4 nmol/L), PRL was 19.03 ng/mL, luteinizing hormone (LH) was 50.83 mIU/mL (follicular phase 239–66 mIU/mL; mid-cycle 9.06–72.24 mIU/mL; luteal phase 0.90–9.33 mIU/mL; postmenopausal 10.39–64.57 mIU/mL), follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) was 15.15 mIU/mL (follicular phase 3.03–8.08 mIU/mL; mid-cycle 2.55–16.69 mIU/mL; luteal phase 1.38–5.47 mIU/mL; postmenopausal 26.72–133.41 mIU/ml), estradiol was 238.00 pg/mL (follicular phase 21–251 pg/mL; mid-cycle 38–649 pg/mL; luteal phase 21–312 pg/mL; postmenopausal < 10–144 pg/mL), Testo (testosterone) was 1.29 nmol/L (0.38–1.97 nmol/L), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) was 121.3 μg/dL (139.7–484.4 μg/dL). Renal and liver function was within the normal range. Due to a drug deficiency in our center, the T3 test and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation were not applicable. Mutations in the TSH receptor and thyroxine receptor-β (THR-β) genes were not found. +Her initial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a quasi-circular equal signal shadow in the sellar region and a pituitary macroadenoma (18 × 16 × 16 mm) adjacent to the siphon of the left internal carotid artery . The T2-weighted signal intensity was isointense. In addition, the Knosp and Hardy classifications of the pituitary tumor were grade 1 and 2, respectively. Additionally, the cavernous sinus invasion score (CSIS) was grade 1, the sphenoid sinus invasion score (SSIS) was grade 0, the suprasellar extension score (SSES) was grade 1, and the cumulative score was grade 2 . The visual field revealed a visual field defect in the left eye. In thyroid echography, enlarged thyroid and hyperechoic nodules in the left lobe of the thyroid (11 × 8.3 × 11 mm, TI-RADS class 3) were observed. An ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy of the thyroid nodules showed benign lesions. +Based on these findings, this patient was finally diagnosed with TSH PitNET and acromegaly. After our multidisciplinary united team consultation, the patient was preoperatively treated with octreotide (OCT, 0.1 mg, s.c., tid). TSH, FT3, and FT4 levels decreased to the normal range in 5 days. Then, the pituitary mass was endoscopically removed via an endoscopic transsphenoidal resection. Surgical pathology confirmed a macroadenoma. +Histologically, the tumor was composed of plurimorphic cells with a distinct cell border, abundant granulated cytoplasm, and round or oval nuclei. On light microscopy, histopathology revealed the plurihormonal adenoma with strong nuclear immunoreactivity with Pit-1 antibody . Immunohistochemistry revealed strong immunoreactivity for GH and diffuse positivity for TSH and PRL . The tumor had negative staining for ACTH, FSH, LH, and ER. In p53 staining, scattered p53-positive cells were observed . The Ki-67 index was < 1% . In GH and TSH immunohistochemical double staining, many GH cells and a minority of TSH cells were observed (Supplementary Figure B). Immunofluorescence double staining for GH and TSH positivity was found in different cell populations (Supplementary Figure A). In GH and PRL immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence double staining, GH was the most diffusely positive hormone, and PRL reactivity was scattered (Supplementary Figure C, D). Electron microscopy revealed that the tumor consisted of plurimorphous cells . Some adenoma cells (black arrow) were densely granulated. Secretory granules were spherical or ovoid and measured 300–450 nm. Many adenoma cells contained elongated or geometrically shaped secretory granules, suggesting crystallization within their substance, a phenomenon seen in densely granulated somatotropic adenomas. The thyrotropin cells (red arrow) had a predominantly spherical or ovoid nucleus, scattered lysosomes and mitochondria, prominent Golgi apparatus, and numerous secretory granules measuring 100 to 200 nm. The cell membrane was peripherally clustered with numerous small secretory granules that outlined the cell boundary. +After surgery, TSH decreased slightly below the normal range (0.299 mIU/l), and FT3 and FT4 levels were normal at 2.75 pmol/L and 9.9 pmol/L, respectively. GH and IGF-1 levels were 0.16 μg/mL and 274 ng/mL 1 week after the surgery . Except for high TGAb and TPOAb levels, TSH, FT3, FT4, GH, and IGF-1 levels decreased to the normal range 1 month after surgery. The OGTT test successfully suppressed GH below 0.4 μg/mL (basal GH, 7.62 μg/mL; maximal suppression, 0.4 μg/mL, Supplementary Figure ). However, although no clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism were observed in this patient, FT3 and FT4 levels increased, and TSH levels were slightly below the normal range 3 months after surgery . Considering previously consistently elevated TGAb, TPOAb, and TRAb levels and an enlarged thyroid nodule, the patient was suspected of having Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Interestingly, her thyroid function normalized over 10 days without medical treatment . Four months after the surgery, her thyroid function showed increased TSH, TRAb, TPOAb, and TGAb levels and decreased FT4 levels. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis further destroyed the thyroid cells and led to hypothyroidism in this patient. Indeed, central hypothyroidism was also possible. Six months after the surgery, the patient was given levothyroxine sodium tablets (L-T4, 37.5 μg/day), and her FT4, TSH, and TRAb returned to the normal range . The MRI revealed no particular abnormalities after the surgery. The patient achieved basal clinical and biochemical remission during follow-up. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1690_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1690_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5d20a7d0beb8a156cf3c62736168a7fa76ad266f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1690_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +Osteomas A 10- years old school-girl has been refered to the Department of Oral Surgery in University Dental Clinical Centre of Kosova of complaining for appearance of the formation in the upper lip which has been progresively grown in past three years .

Repeat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine showed metastases at multiple levels involving the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spines without compromise of the central canal or compression of the spinal nerve roots. The patient received urgent palliative radiation of 35 Gy in 14 fractions from T7-S2 spine, demonstrating a favorable symptomatic response. The patient was subsequently hospitalized for persistent confusion, generalized fatigue, anorexia, and failure to thrive. Neurological examination revealed mental status changes, but no focal neurological deficits. MRI of the brain demonstrated extensive leptomeningeal carcinomatosis , which was believed to be the cause of his symptomatology. In view of the previous failed attempt to identify a T790M mutation via tissue biopsy, a liquid biopsy was undertaken which revealed an EGFR T790M mutation. Osimertinib 80 mg p.o. daily was initiated despite lack of solid clinical evidence for the utility of this agent in LM. +The patient responded rapidly, displayed substantial clinical improvement within 2 weeks of starting therapy, and became symptom-free after 3 months of treatment. Six months after initiation of osimertinib, repeat MRI of the brain revealed marked reduction of LM . Unfortunately, the patient developed hearing loss, confusion, and short-term memory loss approximately 1 year later in February 2017. Computerized tomography of the abdomen showed a few enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes, consistent with metastasis. MRI of the brain demonstrated progression of LM involving the cerebellar vermis, right occipital lobe as well as bilateral temporal and parietal lobes. The patient declined further systemic chemotherapy and expired after a short time interval. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_174_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_174_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..db1f36b06fdd41014195011f429db82c88fd84ee --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_174_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +An otherwise healthy 3 years and 10 months-old, 99 cm, 14 kg Hispanic boy presented to our Emergency Department after multiple visits to other facilities during the same week with a chief complaint of abdominal pain.

The patient was planned for open reduction and fixation. The patient was operated on under regional anesthesia in a prone position with a tourniquet over the proximal thigh. A lazy S-shaped skin incision was placed over the popliteal fossa with a horizontal limb over the fossa and vertical limbs over the lateral distal femur and proximal medial tibia . The dissection was between the medial gastrocnemius and semimembranosus as suggested by Burke and Schaffer. Deep into this plane, the popliteus muscle was seen and elevated from the proximal tibia. The posterior capsule of the knee joint was identified along with the avulsed tibial fragment. The fragment was initially stabilized with a K wire . Then, four high tensile sutures (Fiber wire No. 2, Arthrex, Naples, Florida) were passed through the posterior capsule and PCL at their tibial insertion on the avulsed fragment . A knotless fixation was planned with two swivel lock PEEK anchors (4.9 mm, Arthrex, Naples, Florida). Two drill holes were made and the drill holes were tapped for the passage of anchors. The sutures that were passed through the capsule and PCL were then passed through the anchors, with two sets of sutures through each anchor. The anchor along with the sutures was threaded through the posterior tibial cortex with sutures in tension and the K wire was removed .

Digital rectal examination revealed a grade III enlarged prostate, with palpable hard nodules on the surface obviously and the central sulcus disappeared. The value of serum prostate- specific antigen (PSA) was 145.6 ng/mL (normal value: 0–4 ng/mL), testosterone (T) was 354.5 ng/dl (normal value: 193–740 ng/dl), hemoglobin (Hb) was 119 g/l (normal value: 130–175 g/l), serum creatinine (SCr) was 67 μmol/l (normal range: 57–111 μmol/l). The pelvic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that a high possibility of prostate cancer, and the seminal vesicles and pelvic bones were invaded . Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) indicated tumor had metastasized to multiple bones including the right ilium and the right sacroiliac joint . Transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed poorly differentiated AdPC after pathological examination, with a Gleason score of 9 (4 + 5), PSA (+), synaptophysin (-), chromogranin A (-) and Ki67 (15%) . The clinical stage was determined as stage IV (T3b N0 M1b) and this patient agreed to accept the ADT comprising bicalutamide (50 mg, once a day) combined with goserelin (10.8 mg, once every three months) since April 2018. The patient had a good response to the aforementioned therapy with the LUTS improved (IPSS 15, QoL 3) and serum PSA level decreased to 0.077 ng/mL (normal value: 0–4 ng/mL). Meanwhile, subsequent pelvic enhanced MRI and SPECT suggested the volume of the primary tumor and metastases was significantly reduced at the follow-up in June 2019. +However, 6 months later, the patient gradually presented with gross hematuria, urination pain, anemia, tachycardia and pale lips, and thus was admitted to our institute again in December 2019. Hb decreased continuously from 115 g/l to 79 g/l in four days after admission, and showed no obvious improvement even after blood transfusions. At that point, serum PSA was 0.416 ng/mL (normal value: 0–4 ng/mL), T was 4.33 ng/dl (normal value: 193–740 ng/dl), SCr was 86 μmol/l. Although SPECT indicated no significant change in bone metastases , the pelvic enhanced MRI suggested that the primary prostate cancer tumor was enlarged with bladder invasion and the parailiac lymph nodes were involved . An emergency contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen further suggested that the tumor had metastasized to thoracic vertebra without urinary obstruction and ureterohydronephrosis. To sum up, the disease has progressed to the more aggressive CRPC stage. +In consideration of the relative stable PSA level and the rapid progression of the disease, we tested the serum NSE with a value of 170.8 ng/mL (normal value: 0–17 ng/mL). All these results indicated a possible formation of t-NEPC. Therefore, a secondary biopsy of the enlarged primary tumor was performed. The results of pathology showed small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma . The immunohistochemical staining contained features of t-NEPC, which had an intensive Ki67 expression (70%), was negative for PSA staining and positive for synaptophysin and CD56 ( and ). Furthermore, a genetic testing of the blood sample showed germ-line mutations of RB1 and FOXA1 , both of which are tightly associated with the formation of t-NEPC. +The effect of conservative treatments (eg, continuous bladder irrigation, fluid infusion and blood transfusion) for hematuria was limited. To control the bleeding of the primary tumor and relieve symptoms, the patient was treated with superselective prostate artery embolization (PAE) after multi-disciplinary consultations in January 2020. During the surgery, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed extravasation of contrast medium from branches of right prostatic artery . Then, superselective PAE was performed to terminate the bleeding. Polyvinyl alcohol particles (PVA) were successfully injected into the right prostatic artery . We also found that a large amount of contrast medium overflowed at the terminal of the left prostatic artery . However, the left internal pudendal artery was selected to be embolized with infusion of PVA, gelatin sponge and spring coil due to the malformation of the left prostatic artery . Finally, the hematuria was controlled immediately with no obvious discomfort after operation. +After analyzing all test results and conducting a comprehensive evaluation, we have realized that the patient was not suitable for platinum-based chemotherapy due to his weak constitution. For this reason, to further control the disease and relieve pain of the patient, palliative radiotherapy (intensity modulated radiation therapy, IMRT) to the pelvic tumor (60.2 Gy/2.15 Gy/28 fractions), the lymph drainage area (50.4 Gy/1.8Gy/28 fractions) and bone metastases (30Gy/3Gy/10 fractions) was performed in the Department of Tumor Radiotherapy of our institution in February 2020. The LUTS were relieved effectively after the palliative radiotherapy. The tumor biomarkers decreased after the superselective PAE and the radiation therapy (NSE from 170.8 ng/mL to 32 ng/mL; PSA from 0.416 ng/mL to 0.058 ng/mL). Moreover, enhanced MRI in May 2020 showed that the primary tumor was smaller than that in December 2019 .

He was followed closely for over three decades with no signs of metastatic disease until he was noted to have a mass near his prior melanoma excisional scar in summer 2014. A biopsy at that time revealed an epithelioid neoplasm with morphology and phenotype highly suggestive of melanoma that was positive for the BRAF V600E mutation. A Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) at that time showed numerous bilateral pulmonary nodules, and a subsequent right upper lobe wedge resection did confirm metastatic melanoma.

Serologic testing was negative for Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA), PR-3, Myeloperoxidase (MPO), and Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody. Complement levels were normal. A renal biopsy was performed in September of 2016 showing focal crescentic (2 of 15 glomeruli with cellular crescents), proliferative, and sclerosing glomerulonephritis with diffuse linear staining of glomerular capillary loops dominant for IgG (3+), IgA (2+), kappa (2+), and lambda (1+) minimal changes . Ultrastructural examination of three glomeruli demonstrated areas with open capillary loops and preserved foot processes. Other areas demonstrated diffuse effacement of foot processes with variable thickening and wrinkling of glomerular basement membranes. No immune complex disease or tubuloreticular structures were identified. +Repeat anti-GBM testing remained negative, and the patient’s creatinine eventually rose to a peak of 3.8’mg/dL. He had no signs or symptoms of lung hemorrhage. Dabrafenib and trametinib were discontinued, and he was subsequently initiated on oral cyclophosphamide (2 mg/kg/day) and pulse intravenous methylprednisolone (1000 mg daily for 3 consecutive days) followed by 1 mg/kg/day of prednisone. Serum creatinine improved to 2.5 mg/dL, and the active urinary sediment resolved. Immunosuppression with cyclophosphamide was discontinued after 4 months of therapy, and he was weaned off prednisone by 6 months. +The patient was off all immunotherapy for his malignancy, and his renal function remained relatively stable over the ensuing 12 months. By June 2018, a PET/CT of the chest showed evidence of metastatic melanoma to the left upper and medial lobes of the lung. The patient was placed back on nivolumab, which seemed to stabilize his oncologic disease. Unfortunately, 4 weeks after reinitiating nivolumab, his creatinine jumped from 2.8 to 5.8 mg/dL and home hemodialysis was initiated. The patient remains stable on home hemodialysis and was more recently taken off nivolumab and placed back on dabrafenib and trametinib for progressive metastatic pulmonary disease, which has led to significant symptom control. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1805_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1805_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c436c741876ad514043b4809a5f5386f3e260d81 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1805_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +A 52-year-old overweight white woman with hypertension and a 3-years history of chronic kidney disease stage II K-DOQI was referred to our Nephrology department for worsening renal function and resistant hypertension. +Laboratory analysis showed a mild asymptomatic anemia, serum creatinine 1.9 mg/dl, with non-selective nephrotic proteinuria, Bence-Jones proteinuria, and extremely elevated serum kappa free light chains (FLC).

At admission, the patient had not been taking her anticoagulation or anti-platelet aggregation therapy for more than a year. Physical examination revealed a blood pressure of 98/63 mmHg and fast AF with ventricular beating rates in excess of 100 beats/min. Cardiac auscultation revealed variable intensity of first heart sound and a grade 2/6 tricuspid systolic murmur. Upon physical examination, the right upper limb was cold, pale and swollen, with positive tenderness and no palpable radial and brachial pulses. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed AF, ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion on leads V5-V6 . Echocardiography revealed enlargement of right atrium (47 mm), left ventricular end-diastolic dilatation (60 mm), and diffuse left ventricular anterior wall hypokinesis with an ejection fraction (EF) of 28%. Significantly, a (mural or mobile) thrombus measuring 15 × 9.5 mm was present at the left ventricular apex. In addition, there was evidence of moderate mitral regurgitation, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (30 mmHg) .

Thrombus aspiration was performed using a 6-French Export Aspiration catheter (Medtronic; crossing profile, 0.068 in.), initially in the LAD coronary artery followed by the first diagonal artery. No thrombi or debris were aspirated. Therefore, balloon angioplasty was next performed using a 2.0 × 20 mm Ryujin balloon in the LAD coronary artery and the first diagonal artery occlusion sites. The balloon angioplasty caused the thrombi to migrate more distally in both the LAD and diagonal arterial branches . The procedure was thus terminated and the patient was returned to the coronary care unit (CCU) with stable hemodynamics and persistent AF.

Urgent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was a poor study because of food residue and failed to identify the source of the patient’s bleeding. Thus, he was admitted to the emergency intensive care unit for careful observation. The patient’s acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) score on the day of admission was 24, and the Charlson comorbidity index was three. +Since fresh bleeding was detected in the terminal ileum during capsule endoscopy the next day, colonoscopy was performed without bowel cleaning. But the exam produced poor findings due to blood clot. Therefore, transanal double balloon enteroscopy was scheduled for further investigation 4 days after the patient’s admission. The patient took 5 h to ingest 2 L of PEG plus an additional liter of PEG for bowel preparation. This was the first time he had consumed PEG. 1 h after consuming the 3 L of PEG, he complained of a feverish chill and his heart rate and temperature increased to over 130 bpm and 39 °C, respectively. The transanal double balloon enteroscopy exam was performed uneventfully and did not reveal the source of the patient’s bleeding. +After the examination, he appeared to be agitated and distressed and exhibited hypotension, high fever, and an elevated lactate level, which indicated septic shock. He did not have any other complaints. His abdomen was soft, flat, and non-tender. Empirical antibiotic therapy with meropenem was administered, and two sets of blood cultures were obtained at the same time. Fluid resuscitation and a noradrenaline infusion were initiated due to septic shock, followed by intubation and mechanical ventilation. Table shows the patient’s laboratory data at the time that he suffered septic shock. Repeated lab tests revealed a significantly elevated procalcitonin level. Liver function tests produced normal results during the course, so we excluded biliary stent infection. Figure shows the patient’s clinical course during the first 15 h after he ingested PEG, the hypotensive phase of his condition, and the resuscitation period. Ongoing intensive care led to a gradual improvement in the patient’s condition and he was successfully extubated on day 4 (the day when the PEG preparation was administered was defined as day 0, at which APACHE II score was 34). An examination of his blood cultures detected C. braakii and we replaced the meropenem with ceftazidime based on the results of sensitivity tests. Later, the identity of the pathogen was confirmed by biochemical analysis and partial sequencing of 16S rRNA. Urinalysis produced normal results. Cultures of the patient’s urine and sputum at the onset of septic shock were negative. The tip cultures of central venous catheter which had been placed in a femoral vein on admission were found to be negative. Stool culture was obtained 1 week after presenting septic shock, which was also negative. Antibiotics were administered for a total of 10 days. The patient was discharged from the emergency intensive care unit on day 8. Figure shows the patient’s clinical course over the 8 days after he first suffered septic shock. +Melena occurred intermittently. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy subsequently identified marginal ulceration of the gastrojejunal anastomosis, which was successfully treated with coagulation hemostasis.

The B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level was 606 pg/mL and the level of soluble growth stimulating gene protein (sST2) was 97.64 ng/mL (normal value <35 ng/ml). Findings of arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis were: pH 7.286; PaCO2 73.6 mmHg; PaO2 62.7 mmHg; lactate 2.82 mmol/L (normal value <2.2 mmol/L); hemoglobin 177g/L. Although the PaO2 level was within the normal range on low-flow oxygen inhalation, the diagnosis of type II respiratory failure was considered because of hypercapnia. Pulmonary function test suggested severe restrictive ventilatory impairment. Chest high resolution CT showed bilateral pleural effusion (more on the right side) and increased thickness of pulmonary artery trunk and branches. The patient showed none of emboli, mosaic perfusion, disparity in segmental vessel size, parenchymal densities and thickening of bilateral pulmonary arteries in Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Echocardiography revealed right heart overload characterized by dilated right ventricle (RV diastolic dimension: 44 mm) and right atrium (RA dimension: 45 mm) . Color Doppler ultrasound revealed mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension; the systolic pulmonary arterial pressure was 56 mmHg. The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) level was 22 mm. Echocardiography showed normal left ventricular chamber volume with normal systolic function (estimated ejection fraction 71%) and normal filling pressures. Left ventricle short-axial view showed symmetric slight thickening of the left ventricle (LV) and the LV mass indexed for BSA was 118.07g/m2. At the end diastolic phase of the left ventricle, the thickness of both the ventricular septum and the posterior left ventricular wall is 13 mm. +Needle electromyography (EMG) examination showed rapid recruitment of short-duration, low-amplitude motor unit potentials (MUPs) in bilateral deltoid muscles. He underwent muscle biopsy of left lateral thigh, which revealed variable size and shape of muscle fibers, with coexistence of oblong or small round fibers, occasional necrosis or regeneration of muscle fibers, hypertrophic fibers and split fibers in addition to typical features of mitochondrial dysfunction, including 8% ragged red fibers (RRF) and 42% COX-negative fibers. +Gene sequencing analysis conducted by BGI Clinical Laboratory Center (Shenzhen, China) revealed a novel TK2 mutation at c.584T>C. The predicted amino acid change was p. Leu195 Pro. Whole exon gene results of the proband and family members showed that the mother had wild-type and the father, sister, and the patient had heterozygote TK2 variant (NM_001172644: c.584T>C, p.Leu195Pro). In-depth analysis revealed a heterozygous variant in an intron of TK2 (NM_004614.4:c.156+958G>A; rs1965661603) in the mother of the proband, the sister, and the proband. Based on the findings of muscle biopsy and DNA sequencing, the patient was diagnosed as a case of MM . +He was administered intravenous diuretic and recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide. Round-the-clock non-invasive ventilation was provided during the first 10 days of hospitalization; subsequently, artificial ventilation was provided only at night. The shortness of breath was significantly alleviated with complete resolution of bilateral lower limb edema. ABG analysis results prior to discharge were: pH 7.388; PaCO2 52.7 mmHg; PaO2 123.5 mmHg; and hemoglobin 155 g/L. The patient was prescribed with the nocturnal non-invasive ventilation and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) at discharge. CoQ10 can promote oxidative phosphorylation and protect the integrity of biological cell membrane, it increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation and cellular energy by mediating electron transfer in the electron transport chain. CoQ10 can be used as an adjunctive therapy for mitochondrial myopathy or heart failure. Echocardiography performed after one month showed no obvious abnormalities in cardiac structure or function. Echocardiography findings also showed improvement after treatment . No abnormalities were observed in BNP and sST2 levels. CK was reduced to 1250 IU/L and liver enzyme levels were restored to normal. ABG parameters were within the normal range (pH 7.411; PaCO2 42.9 mmHg; PaO2 86.5 mmHg; lactate 2.0 mmol/L; hemoglobin 151 g/L). A one-year follow-up, the patient was found to have well tolerated non-invasive ventilation support. He was able to perform his routine activities with no restrictions. Echocardiography showed normal cardiac structure and function. Currently, nocturnal bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) therapy via a basal mask had been well-tolerated and ABG analysis was performed every 1 month, the ventilation pattern had not been changed after discharge. The patient is regularly receiving CoQ10. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_20_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_20_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2759fe54e2c81988a20309a77f5db8290bfe76b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_20_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 31-year old man was admitted with symptoms of acute joint pain of three weeks' duration in both hips.

The next day, 50 μg L-ascorbic acid (Sigma)/10 ml and dexamethasone 10-7M were added to facilitate cell differentiation into osteoblasts. The cell culture condition was evaluated by a light microscope, and the culture medium was changed on the fifth day of culture, after which the culture medium was changed every three days with the subsequent addition of L-ascorbic acid. On the fourteenth day of culture, NBT-BCIP (nitro blue tetrazolium chloride – 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate) staining was performed to confirm activation of the alkaline phosphatase. Twenty-four days after beginning the culture, Alizarin red staining was performed to detect newly produced calcium, and it was thus confirmed that most of the cultured cells were osteoblasts. Approximately four weeks after beginning the culture, the medium was removed and the cells were washed with 5 ml 0.02% trypsin-ETDA (Gibco BRL, Gettysburg, PA, USA). 3 ml of 0.02% trypsin-ETDA was again added and the cells were incubated for five minutes. The trypsin-ETDA activity was stopped by adding 3 ml of culture medium, and all contents were collected in a conical tube and were centrifuged at 4°C, 265 g, for 6 minutes.

His presenting ECG showed atypical atrial flutter/AF with a fast ventricular rate of 180 bpm . Device interrogation revealed a total of 51 shock therapies, all for rapid AF, which were mislabeled as ventricular fibrillation . No clinical signs or symptoms of decompensated heart failure were obvious on physical examination. The laboratory findings were unremarkable, including normal blood count and thyroid function. The echocardiography showed an enlarged left ventricle with a severely depressed ejection fraction (30%), mild valvular regurgitations, and a dilated left atrium with a diameter of 50 mm and a volume of 105 ml. The ICD had a ventricular tachycardia detection zone programmed at 170 bpm and a ventricular fibrillation detection zone programmed at 200 bpm with an initial detection duration of 3 s. Since most of the shocks were delivered for rates well above 200 bpm, we considered that reprogramming the device would be futile.

On occasions she also experienced legs swelling associated with high blood pressure self managed by increasing her diuretic dose. Afterward, she suffered from severe constipation due to her lack of appetite and reduced food intake caused by depression, the patient relied mainly on salty chips and lemon only as her sole food and was not well-fed as normal healthy people; consequently, the gastrointestinal motility was negatively affected which led to constipation.

Her initial diagnosis and care were directed by a different healthcare provider 4 years prior to examination at our institution. Her examination at that time revealed periorbital hyperpigmentation, erythematous lichenification of the anterior chest, arms, and neck. The back was spared. She was subsequently started on hydroxyzine, clarithromycin and triamcinolone cream which resulted in mild improvement, but on discontinuation her AD flared. Three years after multiple therapies she sought treatment in the United States. Her Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis score of 4 was indicative of severe disease with greater than 10% total body surface area involvement. She was subsequently initiated on dupilumab 300 mg every 2 weeks with significant improvement in her skin disease and quality of life. She became pregnant 12 months later. Discussions about continuing dupilumab during pregnancy were held with both her allergist and dermatologist reviewing the risks and benefits of therapy during pregnancy as well as concerns regarding maternal antibodies crossing the placenta. She decided to remain on dupilumab 300 mg every 2 weeks. During her pregnancy, the patient had routine monitoring including regular bloodwork and guideline-based ultrasounds which were normal during the first 2 trimesters. The patient continued use of lubricating eye drops and thus, did not develop ocular symptoms during her pregnancy. At 27 weeks gestation, the patient self-discontinued dupilumab. Unfortunately, she experienced a self-reported severe flare of AD only 2 weeks after discontinuation that was refractory to topical treatments and the patient self reinitiated dupilumab at 29 weeks gestation. The patient was not assessed in clinic at this time and therefore there are no severity scores available for this flare. The patient remained on dupilumab until 36 weeks of gestation. At 38 weeks gestational age, ultrasound imaging revealed concerns for intrauterine growth restriction as well as breech position. The patient underwent urgent Caesarean Section with delivery of a healthy female infant (Weight 2480 g). Surgical pathology revealed normal umbilical cord vasculature, normal villous maturation compatible with a third trimester placenta with no evidence of villitis or infarct, and no chorioamnionitis. There were no issues postpartum. The patient was reassessed 6 weeks postpartum and had opted to breastfeed. The patient did not develop any further flares of AD despite self discontinuation of dupilumab.

As his case was judged to be a progressive disease one year prior, the hospital focused on palliative care. At that time, he was referred to the Department of Supportive Medicine and Care for Cancer because of severe abdominal pain, which was considered cancer-related, and administration of 10 mg/day of oxycodone was started. Thereafter, he continued outpatient visits, and the oxycodone dose was adjusted according to the pain level. However, three months prior, he was admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery because he developed a brain abscess associated with infection after surgery for a cerebral aneurysm. After subcutaneous irrigation and drainage, his symptoms improved, and he was discharged from hospital. He continued to receive LVFX 500 mg/day to prevent recurrence of brain abscess. Subsequently, the dose of oxycodone was increased to 50 mg/day for worsening abdominal pain by the outpatient clinic, but it was still difficult to control the pain; therefore, he was admitted to the Department of Supportive Medicine and Care for Cancer for pain control. At the time of admission, his height was 169.0 cm and body weight was 63.5 kg; he was ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to perform any work activities (performance status 2; denoting the day of admission as day 1). +Upon admission, hepatic dysfunction and exacerbation of inflammation were observed. In addition, CT examination indicated exacerbation of the primary tumor, enlargement of the liver metastases, and appearance of multiple lung metastases; therefore, the primary disease was judged to have aggravated rapidly. At the time of admission, he complained of severe pain with a numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 7/10 . Therefore, he was switched to an injection of oxycodone 40 mg/day, and the dose had to be adjusted to 100 mg/day by day 10. However, the pain persisted, with an NRS score of 5/10, and ketamine 30 mg/day was initiated because of the poor response to increasing opioid doses. Several hours after the start of the ketamine treatment, the patient complained of nausea. Therefore, the oxycodone dose was reduced to 70 mg/day and the nausea improved. The day after the start of the ketamine treatment, an improvement to NRS = 3–4/10 and a decrease in the number of rescue doses was observed; methadone was introduced because the patient and his family wanted him to be discharged. Methadone treatment (15 mg/day) was initiated on day 14. The doses of oxycodone and ketamine were tapered and terminated . In addition, we considered that LVFX, which carries a risk of QT interval prolongation, has to be discontinued or changed; however, the neurosurgeon recommended the continuation of LVFX because it showed no evidence of the recurrence of brain abscess. Additionally, bacterial culture showed that the causative bacteria of the brain abscess were very sensitive to LVFX. Therefore, the patient’s QTc was carefully monitored, along with his respiratory rate . +Oxycodone was reduced to 50 mg/day and ketamine was reduced to 15 mg/day when methadone was started on day 14. Ketamine was discontinued on day 15 because he did not feel worsening pain. The oxycodone dose was subsequently reduced to 40 mg/day on day 16. On the same day, although it did not meet the diagnostic criteria for long QT syndrome, an increase in QTc of approximately 10% compared to baseline was observed. Therefore, we asked the neurosurgeon to change LVFX to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (ST). On day 17, QTc improved, and the pain subsided (NRS = 2–4/10); therefore, the oxycodone dose was reduced to 20 mg/day. On day 18, oxycodone dose was further reduced to 15 mg/day; on day 19, it was again reduced to 7 mg/day and ended on day 21. Further, no recurrence of the brain abscess was observed by continuing with ST. As he did not experience pain exacerbation (NRS = 1–3/10) on day 22, he was discharged with a dose of methadone of 15 mg/day.

On abdominal examination, she exhibited abdominal guarding, but no palpable mass was found. Abdominal CECT demonstrated intussusception in the ascending colon with a smooth enhancing 3.5 cm mass suspicious for neoplasm . Colonoscopy was deferred due to significant exacerbation of pain and worsening peritonitis. The patient subsequently underwent emergent exploratory laparotomy. Due to difficulty reducing the ileocolic , right hemicolectomy with ileocolic anastamosis was performed . Exploration of the abdomen revealed no carcinomatosis.

Although there seemed to be no apparent lymphadenopathy in the mesentery, we resected the mesentery to include the potential lymph node metastases. The resected specimen revealed a 4.0 × 3.5 × 2.3 cm submucosal mass of the distal ileum . Macroscopic examination demonstrated a gray-white appearance of the tumor cross section, without hemorrhage and necrosis. Histologically, the tumor was composed of bundles and palisading arrangement of malignant spindle cells that extended into the muscularis mucosa . The tumor had dense cellularity with significant mitotic activity of approximately 10 mitoses per 10 high-power fields. The surgical margins were negative for the tumor. On immunohistochemical staining, the tumor was positive for S-100 and CD34, but negative for CD117, DOG-1, SMA, AE1/AE3, HMB45, and PNL-2. The Ki67 labeling index was approximately 15–20% . On the basis of these pathological findings, the tumor was identified as a low-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). +The patient declined to undergo further genetic analysis and chemotherapy. She had a good postoperative course and was discharged 2 weeks after surgery. She presented with diarrhea, fever, and moderate anemia at 3 and 7 months post-operation. Abdominal CECT demonstrated no sign of tumor recurrence and metastatic disease. She underwent symptomatic treatment and was discharged home. In June 2016, she died due to complications of her disease. +According to the WHO, MPNSTs are defined as any tumor originating from a peripheral nerve or exhibiting nerve sheath differentiation. MPNST is the sixth most common type of soft tissue sarcoma [, ]. Approximately 50% of all MPNST cases arise sporadically, whereas the other cases are observed in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) [, ], who carry an estimated 8 to 13% lifetime risk of developing MPNST . An estimated 3 to 10% of all MPNST patients have a clinical history of prior radiation exposure after a latent period of more than 15 years . MPNST is typically characterized in adults with most tumors occurring in patients between 20 and 50 years of age with a median age of 35 . +Most MPNSTs are located along major nerve trunks, commonly arising on the body trunk, extremities, head, neck, and paravertebral regions . MPNSTs arising from nerves of the small intestinal wall are extremely rare, with only fewer than 10 cases reported worldwide [–]. +There seems to be no characteristic clinical symptoms of MPNST of the intestine. Most patients experience fatigue, weight loss, emesis, abdominal pain, and intestinal bleed . Our patient presented with intestinal obstruction due to intussusception. The diagnosis is often delayed because these symptoms are usually non-specific and vague, thereby increasing the difficulty of a preoperative diagnosis of MPNST of the small intestine. +The quantitative FDG-PET imaging is used to distinguish between benign PNST and MPNST based on a tumor’s metabolic activity [, ]. Due to the disability to effectively confirm malignant transformation of lesions, CT and MRI are limited to define the anatomic tumor size and local invasiveness of PNST [, ]. The quantitative FDG-PET imaging combined with CT or MRI may be the best way to distinguish MPNST from benign PNST. However, radiographic imaging of MPNST has not supplanted histopathologic examination as the gold standard for the diagnosis of MPNST . In our case, the CECT of the abdomen revealed an intussusception in the ascending colon with a smooth enhancing 3.5 cm mass suspicious for neoplasm, but could not confirm its definite lesion. +It is important to recognize that there is still a lack of widely accepted diagnostic criteria for MPNST . These tumors have well-described morphological heterogeneity, and staining reveals highly cellular spindle cell tumor in fascicles . S-100 protein has been the classic and most widely used antigen for documenting nerve sheath differentiation. CD34 is expressed in some MPNSTs and is likely a reflection of perineurial differentiation. Many studies suggest that elevated Ki67 expression is associated with decreased survival in MPNST [, ]. The reactivity of S-100 protein and high levels of p53 and Ki67 can be useful in making the final diagnosis . In our case, the diffuse expression of S-100 protein and the level of Ki67 were in favor of MPNST. +Forty to 65% of MPNST patients experience local recurrence, and 30 to 60% develop metastases within 12 months of initial surgery . Factors that predict recurrence include anatomic site, tumor size (≥10 cm), and adequacy of margins. Factors that predict metastases include tumor size (≥10 cm) or tumors that are American Joint Committee on Cancer stage III . Over two thirds of metastases develop in the lung, whereas the other sites include the liver, brain, bone, and adrenal gland . To date, there is little knowledge on MPNST of the small bowel, which is thought to have a far worse prognosis than other soft tissue sarcomas. +Because of its rarity, the optimal treatment of the small bowel MPNST is not well established . Current recommendations and treatment may be based only on what is known of this tumor in other locations of the body. Complete surgical resection with wide negative margins is the current standard of care for localized MPNST and is a strong predictor of survival . Adjuvant radiation therapy can been used to locally control MPNST . However, small bowel MPNST may not benefit from the radiotherapy due to the location in the abdominal cavity . Although chemotherapy has been carried out on gastrointestinal MPNST after surgical treatment, there are no further trials evaluating the role of chemotherapy in unresectable and metastatic tumors . Recent advances in therapy have focused on targeting the molecular pathways in MPNST, but the outcomes of recently clinical trials demonstrate that further studies are needed [, ]. The multidisciplinary approach should be adopted to cope with these tumors. +According to the clinical and pathological characteristics, this patient was diagnosed the MPNST of the small bowel. Unfortunately, further genetic analysis was not obtained, due to patient preference as this could have been helpful for creating further treatment plans. Here, we report a rare case of MPNST of the distal ileum, which, to the best of our knowledge, was also the first Chinese case of this disease. Although MPNST arising from the small bowel is extremely rare, a surgeon should also be aware of the possibility of MPNST when dealing with intestinal obstruction or intussusception. Since patients with MPNST have very poor prognosis, it is necessary to perform a quick frozen section in the operation for a clear diagnosis. We suggest an extended radical operation in case of the fast frozen section displaying spindle cell tumors of the small bowel. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2353_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2353_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..27247f3e2b8ba9179ed42e144f240c223bb6b2de --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2353_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 70-year-old male patient with no remarkable medical history presented to our emergency department with chest pain of 10 days’ duration.

Ceruloplasmin, anti-smooth muscle antibody, and anti-nuclear Ab were within the normal ranges. The serum collected for Q fever and Leptospira on day 2 was negative. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for C. burnetii also showed negative. On day 10, the serum anti-CMV IgM test was positive and he was given parenteral gancyclovir, after which his consciousness, liver, and renal function improved. +On day 12, the phase II IgG for Q fever by immunofluorescent assay (IFA) was 1:320, and phase II IgM for Q fever was negative (performed at Taiwan Centers for Disease Control). According to the diagnostic criteria , the patient’s course was compatible with acute Q fever. Microscopic agglutination tests using serum antibodies against Leptospira santarosai serovar shermani, L. borgpetersenii serovar poi, and L. tarassovi (performed at Taiwan Centers for Disease Control) were negative. Parenteral levofloxacin (500 mg every 24 h) was reinitiated on day 21. +On day 27, there were decreases in the serum total bilirubin (9.9 mg/dL) and creatinine (1.65 mg/dL) and the patient was discharged. After completion of a 24-week course of oral levofloxacin (500 mg every 24 h), there was normalization of the serum total bilirubin (0.8 mg/dL) and serum creatinine (1.04 mg/dL). A follow-up abdominal CT at 4 months indicated normal liver parenchymal attenuation without ascites. During the subsequent follow-up, he had not recurrent episodes or other discomfort.

A year before the current admission, he consulted for urinary symptoms that rapidly evolved to systemic compromise with fever, diaphoresis, low back pain, hypotension, dyspnea, and increased acute phase reactants. He required hospitalization in the intensive care unit for multidisciplinary treatment with a diagnosis of sepsis of urinary origin. Alterations in calcium behavior were detected, which were associated to the underlying renal disease and to a severe hyperparathyroidism secondary to a functional adenoma in the lower left parathyroid treated with surgery, achieving control of symptoms and levels of calcium and phosphorus. Chest x-ray showed 2 lesions of tumor aspect with internal lytic areas in the fourth right and eighth left costal arches. The first lesion measured 25 × 21 mm with involvement of fourth right costal arch and the second measured 77 × 54 mm in eighth left costal arch showing growth toward the left pleural cavity . Both lesions were suggestive of a tumor of chondral origin, enchondroma, and as it was not possible to rule out malignancy with the images, he was admitted in our institution for excisional biopsy. The physical examination revealed a thin patient with chronic disease and a deformity in the neck with anterior flexion pronounced by severe dorsal kyphoscoliosis and secondary asymmetry of the right ribcage, which was retracted with decreased intercostal spaces. He referred increased dyspnea with the activities of daily life, with NYHA (New York Heart Association) functional class III. Blood pressure 120/70 mm Hg, heart rate 100 beats per minute, breathing frequency 16 breaths per minute, no cyanosis, with jugular engorgement at 90°, no neck masses, tachycardic rhythmic heart with no murmurs or gallop, decreased breath sounds at both lung bases, abdomen without ascites or masses, and extremities with edema grade II. No identifiable lesions in the chest wall other than deformity by kyphoscoliosis were found. +Blood work was unremarkable, except for mild anemia of normal volumes (see ), spirometry showed a moderate restrictive ventilatory pattern and no significant post-bronchodilator changes and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide, in normal limits (diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide [DLCO]: 109%). The chronic kidney disease was stable. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan showed a heterogeneous rounded lytic lesion with sclerotic edges and growth toward the pulmonary cavity, of expansive type, causing displacement of pulmonary parenchyma, and measuring approximately 77 × 54 mm and depending on the eighth left costal arch . Given the size and characteristics of the mass, it was very difficult to determine if the lung was surrounding the lesion or if the mass was in fact infiltrating the parenchyma. In addition, in the fourth right costal arch, an image of similar characteristics, but smaller in size, is found, measuring 25 × 21 mm. In addition, a severe dorsal kyphoscoliosis was identified. No further studies were implemented; the decision was made to perform a surgical resection of the mass with the possibility of having to do a lobectomy. +The patient was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for pre-surgical conditioning where a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% was evidenced and a cycle of intravenous levosimendan was initiated. He received red blood cell transfusion and underwent resection of the left costal mass by thoracoscopy. During the surgical procedure, only 1 hard lesion was found that involved the eighth rib and soft tissues of the seventh to ninth left ribs, without infiltration into the lung tissue or pleural cavity. Therefore, only partial resection of these 3 ribs was necessary, without pulmonary lobectomy, the right side was not intervened. In the immediate postsurgical period, the patient presented a difficult evolution, with hemodynamic instability, required vasoactive support with norepinephrine, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and a need for a tracheostomy to assist a long-standing recovery process. Subsequently, it was possible to remove the vasoactive drugs, the invasive ventilatory support, and the tracheostomy with complete physical and respiratory rehabilitation. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2407_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2407_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..7423e87343efff73bc1d5b28fc35fd1e6e2a42d2 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2407_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 57-year-old Chinese man presented to our hospital for further management of a laterally spreading tumor (LST)-like lesion in the proximal rectum accidently discovered on colonoscopy over 1 mo prior. +The biopsy results indicated an inflammatory hyperplastic polyp.

For the same problem, her shoulder was manipulated overzealously by a local bonesetter to improve her shoulder movements following a possible steroid injection. Ever since the manipulation, the patient complained of severe pain in the shoulder, affecting all the movements at the shoulder, her daily activities and sleep. On examination, there were no active movements possible at the shoulder with active-assisted forward flexion of 80° and active-assisted abduction of 50° with pseudoparalysis of the shoulder . There was no obvious wasting of the deltoid, supraspinatus and infraspinatus. The lift-off test and Belly-press test for subscapularis integrity were positive. Constant shoulder score was 12. On radiography, there was inferior subluxation of the shoulder . On magnetic resonance imaging, there was increased capsular hyperintensity, suggesting joint effusion and capsulosynovitis, subscapularis muscle tear and medial biceps tendon subluxation with edema around the tendon . The diagnosis of acute traumatic capsulosynovitis of the shoulder with the upper subscapularis muscle tear with biceps tendon subluxation with shoulder subluxation was made.

The kidney was not congested. Atypical sinus lipomatosis, lipomas or a transitional cell carcinoma was suspected and subsequently a computer tomography scan was performed showing a homogenous mass that met the criteria for a classic angiomyolipoma . A computed tomography scan repeated 2 years later demonstrated a possible tumor growth to 3 cm in diameters. Another 2 years later, an ultrasound examination revealed two different areas of the solid mass: a hyperechoic outer rim (echogenicity tumor to normal kidney cortex ratio (TQ) of 2.27) and inner hypoechoic portion (TQ of 0.47.) as displayed in Fig. . Echogenicity was measured according to prior reported method [–]. A contrast enhanced ultrasound was performed displaying a distinct different perfusion pattern of these two areas. In the hyperechoic peripheral area, we noticed a strong perfusion that started nearly simultaneously with the renal cortex and a marked slower contrast material flooding with a relatively rapid wash out in the hypoechoic portion of the tumor . The finding of the contrast enhanced ultrasound of the hyperechoic part of the tumor was in line with a classic angiomyolipoma whereas the dignity of the hypoechoic part remained unclear.

Therefore, CABG with a femoro-femoral crossover bypass was performed. The left ITA was harvested, followed by the right ITA, both with a skeletonized technique. The patient underwent off-pump CABG with the left ITA, which was anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery, and the right ITA, which was anastomosed to the proximal part of the posterior descending branch. Then, the femoro-femoral crossover bypass was performed with an 8-mm ringed polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Anastomosis to the left common femoral artery in endo-to-side fashion was followed by anastomosis to the right common femoral artery in endo-to-side fashion. During the operation, the blood pressure was stable with norepinephrine (range: 0–0.06 µg/kg/min) and monitoring of the cardiac output revealed a flow of 3.3–4.3 L/min (cardiac index was 1.6–2.1 L/min/m2). The interval between the clamping of the right ITA and starting perfusion to the right femoral artery was 3 h and 47 min. +After the operation, the patient’s condition was stable.

Intraocular pressure (IOP), measured with iCare (Tiolat Oy, Helsinki, Finland), was average at 18/19 mmHg (including correction factor of the corneal thickness). The axial length of the eye measured by the IOL master (IOLMaster 700; Carl Zeiss Meditec) of the right eye was 27.96 mm and 22.44 mm of the left. As a solution to the patient’s problem, due to intolerance to contact lenses, we had two possibilities: to implicate implantable collamer lens (ICL) or cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. ICL implantation was no option due to the incipient cataract that already existed and the possibility of its progress in the future. So we decided on the second option. We wanted to choose an intraocular lens with which she would get the maximum. Considering the anisometropic amblyopia, we decided to implant the Eyhance lens. This type of lens has been designed to improve visual acuity contrast sensitivity and reduce the effects of glare in patients who have undergone cataract surgery. The procedure involved removing the patient’s natural lens and replacing it with the Eyhance lens. After a month, the patient’s visual acuity significantly improved in both eyes, with her best CDVA of the right eye now at 0.35 and her left eye at 0.95. Near visual acuity also improved, with the patient now able to read at J4 and J1 for her right and left eye, respectively, with +1.50 sphere correction. These improvements in vision have likely improved the patient’s quality of life and ability to perform daily activities. It’s important to note that cataract surgery carries potential risks and complications that the doctor should discuss with the patient beforehand. For this reason, it’s crucial that patients are well-informed about the procedure and its possible outcomes to make an informed decision about their treatment options. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2482_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2482_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..dbf72d5b726863dc24279c60021938ed67187194 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2482_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 31-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with symptoms of neck pain, back pain (pain in the lower cervical and upper thoracic region), and numbness in both arms for the last 3 months.

The first examination revealed glossitis characterized by complete atrophy of the lingual papillae, which became erythematous; this is a symptom of glossitis . Furthermore, remarkable taste disorder (hypogeusia) and oral pain were reported. The angle of the mouth had stomatitis with erosive changes.

Examination of trace elements showed remarkably lower serum zinc and copper levels (30 μg/dL and 40 μg/dL, respectively) . We diagnosed malnutrition, dysgeusia, glossitis, angular cheilitis, and acrodermatitis enteropathica due to zinc deficiency. However, she had no obvious frequent diarrhea or steatorrhea. +Initially, we orally administered 150 mg of Promac® granules 15% (polaprezinc, ZERIA Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Japan) per day (total zinc dose, 34 mg/day) to treat the zinc deficiency. However, due to the insufficient effectiveness of the replacement therapy, we additionally administered multi-trace elements (MTEs) for high-calorie infusions. Elemenmic® (Ajinomoto Co Inc, Japan) was administered intravenously, one ampule of which contained elemental iron (Fe) 35 μmol, manganese (Mn) 1 μmol, zinc (Zn) 60 μmol (= 4 mg), copper (Cu) 5 μmol, and iodine (I) 1 μmol; this was administered twice a week for 2 weeks as an outpatient treatment. However, the intravenous replacement therapy was similarly inadequate at this dosing interval and did not provide sufficient improvement in the serum copper and zinc values. The blood test results 4 months after PD were as follows: TP, 4.4 g/dL; ALB, 2.0 g/dL; Zn, 34 μg/dL; and Cu, 28 μg/dL; the patient required nutritional management during hospitalization with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) . An improvement was observed in the zinc level (99 μg/dL) and copper level (204 μg/dL) after 20 days of administering one ampule of Elemenmic® per day. Concurrently, her tongue pain and dysgeusia gradually improved. Because of a similar improvement in her nutritional status, she completed TPN (TP 5.1 g/dL, ALB 2.5 g/dL, Zn 99 μg/dL, Cu 204 μg/dL). A central venous catheter (CVC) inserted after admission was removed, and she was discharged 20 days after the second admission. On this occasion, intravenous zinc replacement therapy was discontinued. +One month after discharge, the serum zinc level decreased sharply, her oral pain increased again, and she had reduced food intake (Zn 35 μg/dL, Cu 44 μg/dL) . The patient was readmitted at the end of December 2005.

In January 2006, since her oral pain and diet had improved, she was discharged from the hospital after receiving an implant of a central venous port, and she continued home self-injection of MTEs to maintain zinc levels. In February 2006, her taste function tended to improve, and in April 2006, the taste almost improved. When MTEs were self-injected daily, the serum zinc level gradually exceeded the normal range and reached 167 μg/dL in August 2006 ; therefore, the administration was switched to every other day. Subsequently, we had to confirm the blood test data repeatedly to monitor serum zinc levels to ensure that they were within the normal range . Despite continuing intravenous zinc replacement therapy, serum zinc levels decreased when additional oral zinc was discontinued in May 2007. After resuming the oral administration of Promac® due to the recurrence of dysgeusia, both the serum zinc level and dysgeusia improved.

He had been on hemodialysis for 6 months before transplantation. He had no previous blood transfusions, his panel reactive antibodies (PRAs) was negative and he had 5 mismatches in class I and was fully matched in class II. He received an induction therapy with Basiliximab and was maintained on tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and low- dose steroids. His immediate post-operative period was uneventful with a serum creatinine of 1.1 mg/dl upon discharge. He continued his regular out-patient follow-up, with no major events, a stable kidney function, and no proteinuria up until August 2020. In September 2020, he presented with fatigue, fever and tested positive with COVID-19 infection. His respiratory symptoms were mild with no oxygen requirements; therefore, he was treated with acetaminophen and oral hydration. His low-grade fever persisted for more than one week, so a chest CT was ordered and showed multiple well-defined ground-glass opacities in both lungs consistent with COVID-19 infection. A blood test was done then and showed a c-reactive protein of 14 mg/l, white blood cells of 5.3 × 109/L with 70% neutrophils and 20% lymphocytes, and a serum creatinine level of 1.4 mg/dl. Since the patient presented with a mild case of COVID-19 he was not treated with dexamethasone, monoclonal antibodies or any other medications. His MMF was decreased from 1500 to 1000 mg per day for a total of 10 days, and his tacrolimus trough levels were kept within target range (6.8 ng/ml). His serum creatinine returned to its baseline of 1.2 mg/dl after resolution of the infection. Later on, it started to fluctuate on higher values reaching 1.6 mg/dl in April 2021, with no evident explanation. There was no introduction of new medications, no intercurrent infections, and again a stable tacrolimus trough level. He was therefore admitted for a kidney biopsy. +Light microscopy showed histological evidence of global glomerulitis (g2), moderate capillaritis (ptc2) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) affecting arterioles and glomeruli . A single focus of tubulitis was noted (t0). These histopathological findings were consistent with an active AMR. Interestingly, there was no C4d staining of peritubular capillaries or vasa recta upon immunohistochemistry (C4d0). Only focal interstitial inflammation (i0, < 10% of unscarred cortical parenchyma) was noted with CD3 and CD20 immunostaining. Capillaries contained mainly CD3+ and CD4+ T-cells, with some CD56+ cells . Direct immunofluorescence studies showed IgM, C3, and C1q deposition in a segmental distribution in the lesioned glomeruli, consistent with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Upon examination, the patient exhibited pronounced enlargement of the index finger and thumb of the right hand, a hallmark sign of macrodactyly associated with FLH. This enlargement was not uniform; the thumb and index finger were disproportionately larger compared to the other fingers, with noticeable swelling and a firm texture upon palpation, indicating the presence of fibroadipose tissue. +The patient reported pain, which was more pronounced at night, and a tingling sensation along with occasional episodes of bluish discoloration of the affected fingers, suggesting compromised vascular supply or nerve compression. These symptoms were particularly evident in the anatomical areas surrounding the median nerve's path through the wrist and hand, which is commonly affected in FLH. The anatomical distribution of symptoms, coupled with the physical manifestations in specific fingers, provided crucial insights into the condition's localized impact on the hand's structure and function. +On examination the first and second fingers of the right hand appear larger than the adjacent fingers, with finger 2 measuring 6 × 1.9 cm and finger 1 measuring 6 × 2 cm. Angulation is present measured at 20 degree, directed towards the ulnar side on the distal dan middle phalanx There is discontinuity observed, no tenderness, the sensation is detectable at the base, middle, and tip of the second finger, as well as at the base and tip of the first finger. Range of motion within normal limits, grasping ability present. Sensory within normal limits, comparable to the surrounding and contralateral side. Comparison with patient's mother, size of the patient's mother first finger is 4 × 1,5 cm, and the second finger is 5 × 1,5 cm . Radiographs indicated widespread edema and heightened soft tissue density in the 1st and 2nd finger of the right hand, specifically on the palm side. +Before surgery, we performed the pre-operation examination a week after first admission, the condition is still the same as when it was first examined . We did a radiologic examination to examine the size of the bone . In addition to the initial X-ray imaging, further diagnostic evaluations were carried out to confirm the diagnosis of FLH with Macrodactyly and assess its extent. The X-ray images of the patient's right hand revealed an increase in soft tissue density around the affected fingers, indicative of fibroadipose tissue proliferation. Furthermore, the images showed enlargement of the phalanges in the index finger and thumb, consistent with macrodactyly. These findings align with the characteristic radiological features of FLH, including the disproportionate growth of soft tissues and bones in the affected digits. While Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is recognized as a superior diagnostic tool for assessing soft tissue lesions and was indeed planned for a comprehensive evaluation of the fibrolipomatous hamartoma, the availability of MRI was significantly limited due to long waiting lists. This constraint necessitated prioritizing immediate clinical assessment and intervention based on available diagnostic resources, such as X-ray imaging, which provided initial insights into the condition's impact on bone and soft tissue. +A month after clinical assessment, the surgical intervention for the patient was meticulously planned and executed with the aim of addressing the significant enlargement of the right second finger, while ensuring the preservation of hand function and minimizing potential complications. The procedure comprised several key steps. Debulking: During the surgical debulking of the patient's right hand, specifically targeting the enlarged second finger affected by FLH, careful attention was paid to the composition and location of the tissue being excised. The procedure focused on removing excessive fibroadipose tissue that had proliferated around the median nerve and within the soft tissue matrix of the finger, characteristic of FLH. The excised mass predominantly consisted of a mixture of soft fibrous and adipose tissues. These components are typical of FLH, where fibrous tissue represents the proliferative fibroblasts and collagen deposition around the nerve sheath, and adipose tissue indicates the abnormal fat accumulation within and around the nerve bundles. Notably, the tissue exhibited a soft, pliable consistency, with areas of harder fibrous nodules interspersed within the fatty matrix, reflecting the heterogenous nature of FLH lesions. No significant portions of hard tissue, such as bone, were involved in the debulking process, as FLH primarily affects the soft tissue surrounding the nerve structures. The surgical removal was carefully executed to avoid damage to the nerve itself, ensuring that only the overgrown fibroadipose tissue contributing to the patient's symptoms and functional impairment was excised. This surgical debulking aimed to alleviate the mechanical pressure on the nerve, reduce the bulk of the finger to improve its function and appearance, and, importantly, to obtain tissue for histopathological examination, although, as previously noted, histological analysis was not pursued in this case. +Wedge Osteotomy of the Middle Phalanx: To correct the angulation and disproportionate enlargement of the second finger, a wedge osteotomy was performed on the middle phalanx. This involved making precise, angular cuts in the bone to remove a wedge-shaped segment, allowing for the realignment of the finger. The osteotomy was carefully planned based on pre-operative imaging to ensure the correction of angulation while maintaining the finger's length and functionality. K-Wire Insertion: Following the osteotomy, stabilization was achieved by inserting a Kirschner wire (K-Wire) into the middle phalanx. The K-Wire was used to secure the bone in its newly aligned position, ensuring proper healing and consolidation of the osteotomy site. The wire was inserted in a manner that allowed for optimal bone positioning while minimizing interference with finger movement. . Intraoperative mass was found at palmar region with a suspicion of fibro lipoma, it was decided that the mass was not resected. The patient was scheduled for MRI examination for further work up. , shows the clinical appearance after the surgery. +After the surgical intervention, which included debulking, wedge osteotomy, and K-Wire insertion, the patient underwent a structured post-operative follow-up schedule designed to monitor healing, evaluate the functional recovery of the affected fingers, and mitigate potential complications. The first follow-up, conducted two weeks post-surgery, focused on wound care and the assessment of any immediate post-operative complications. Subsequent follow-ups were scheduled monthly for the first six months, during which the progress of finger function recovery and the effectiveness of the surgical intervention were closely monitored. +The decision to perform surgical intervention on the second finger as a priority was informed by its considerable enlargement, which was more pronounced than other affected areas. This enlargement of the second finger had a significant impact on the patient's hand function, manifesting as impaired gripping ability and dexterity. Addressing the second finger first aimed to alleviate the most immediate functional limitations and discomfort experienced by the patient, with a view to improving quality of life and hand usability in daily activities. +A comprehensive rehabilitation program was initiated early in the post-operative period to enhance the patient's hand functionality and alleviate stiffness. This program, tailored to the patient's specific needs, included physical therapy sessions emphasizing range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises for the hand and fingers, and sensory re-education activities. The patient was also provided with home exercise routines to encourage continuous improvement outside of therapy sessions. Special attention was given to incorporating play-based therapy techniques suitable for the patient's age to maintain engagement and compliance with the rehabilitation process. +Throughout the rehabilitation phase, the patient demonstrated a gradual improvement in grip strength, finger mobility, and a decrease in the stiffness of the right hand. These improvements were significant milestones in the patient's recovery, contributing to an enhanced ability to perform daily activities and an improved quality of life. The patient continues to be monitored regularly to assess long-term outcomes and the potential need for additional interventions. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2563_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2563_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..dc2e44bd070c87ac2c36a192e01b6f8ce97e4af1 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2563_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 54-year-old woman presented at our hospital with left flank discomfort and palpebral edema of 1-week duration.

The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm and right bundle branch block. Transthoracic echocardiography confirmed the suspicion of pulmonary hypertension (PH): systolic pulmonary arterial pressure was estimated to be 80 mmHg, the pulmonary artery trunk was dilated and the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract acceleration time was shortened. No pericardial effusion was detected. Six minutes walking test (6MWT) showed impairment in functional capacity (220 m). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging showed a hypertrophic, normal-volume right ventricle with mild depressed global systolic function (RV ejection fraction 51%) and no evidence of congenital heart disease. The left ventricle ejection fraction was normal with flattening of the interventricular septum . High-resolution computed tomography excluded parenchymal lung disease and perfusion lung scan was negative for mismatched perfusion defects, ruling out the suspect of chronic thromboembolic PH . Although the patient had never been complaining of angina coronary angiography was performed to exclude left main stem coronary artery compression by the dilated pulmonary artery trunk. The exam did not demonstrate any coronary artery abnormality. Finally, right heart catheterization (RHC) confirmed pre-capillary PH with severe reduction of cardiac index and a remarkable increase of pulmonary vascular resistance . The patient was non-responder to acute vasoreactivity testing performed by inhaled nitric oxide and a conclusive diagnosis of IPAH was made. After a comprehensive clinical assessment, based on ESC/ERS table risk stratification, the patient was classified as high risk and an initial combination therapy including a parenteral prostacyclin analogue (PCA) was proposed. However, the patient refused PCA for personal concerns about the potential side effects. Consequently, oral therapy including low-dose diuretics (furosemide 50 mg once daily) and specific drugs acting on the three separate signalling pathway involved in PAH were used. So a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (Sildenafil 20 mg three times daily), an endothelin receptor antagonist (Macitentan 10 mg once daily), and selexipag were started under strict medical supervision. Selexipag was started at dosage of 200 μg twice daily and titrated up to 1200 μg twice daily over 30 days. The therapy was well tolerated without hypotension. At 3- and 6-month follow-up on the same medication we found a significant clinical and haemodynamic improvement as confirmed by a comprehensive revaluation including echocardiography, CMR , brain natriuretic peptide, 6MWT, and RHC .

His previous history included intravenous drug abuse, continued smoking for more than 30 years, and untreated hepatitis C infection. When similar symptoms had occurred a few months previously, X-ray scans performed at another hospital showed suspicious masses at the left costal pleura. Therefore, pleural mesothelioma was considered. However, the patient was discharged and did not follow-up on this diagnosis before presenting to us. +After exclusion of myocardial ischemia, our X-ray scans showed the previously described lesions on the left costal pleura . A subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed two additional masses in the anterior mediastinum adjacent to the right atrium, measuring 2 and 4 cm in diameter and recapitulated two lesions on the left costal wall measuring up to 5 cm in diameter . At this point, pleural mesothelioma, which had already been suspected elsewhere, was a plausible diagnosis. +However, multiple similar lesions were detected intraabdominally, whereas the spleen was missing . Specifically, two foci were found between the left diaphragm and the stomach (5.6 × 3.8 cm and 4.6 × 2.6 cm, Fig. b, c), between the liver and abdominal wall (4.1 × 1.7 cm, Fig. d), and in the small pelvic cavity next to the M. iliopsoas sinister (3 cm in diameter, Fig. e), among others. Curiously, the patient had to his knowledge never worked in an asbestos-polluted environment and the CT scans did not show any pleural effusions, which would typically be expected for mesothelioma . Furthermore, the presence of abdominal masses is a possible, but not a common condition in mesothelioma . Therefore, we considered a diagnostic biopsy to determine whether the lesions were metastases of a cancer of unknown origin. +However, we decided to first conduct an extensive interview with the patient that revealed an important, previously unknown part of his medical history: When asked for previous injuries, the patient remembered an incident in the early 1970s. At this time he had engaged in drug trafficking and got involved in an argument about a drug delivery that had not gone as planned. In the course of the argument, our patient suffered an abdominal gunshot wound with extensive injury. Unfortunately, there were no medical reports available from that time due to the patient very rarely visiting a doctor. However, the patient recalled that his spleen and diaphragm were severely damaged and needed surgical repair. Indeed, our CT scans showed that a splenectomy had been performed. +Instead of biopsy, we then utilized contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of the pleural and abdominal masses. On CEUS, a bolus of ultrasound contrast medium containing gas microbubbles is rapidly injected intravenously, followed by another bolus of saline solution for immediate dispersion via systemic circulation. When ultrasound waves are then directed at microbubbles flowing through the organ of interest, the compressible gas cores oscillate and show an increased echogenicity compared with surrounding tissue. Compared with other tissues, splenic tissue has the property to sequester microbubbles from circulation, causing an avid and persistent late-phase enhancement of up to 7 minutes after application, whereas malignant masses are characterized by early wash-out and late-phase hypoenhancement . In our case, the application of sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles revealed circumscribed lesions that showed the characteristic pattern of splenic tissue, with persistent late-phase enhancement unlike malignant masses . Together with the very specific patient history and the medical imaging we performed, we were now convinced that we found the correct diagnosis and decided on a conservative approach without additional, invasive diagnostic measures. Follow-up examinations after 12 months showed no progress of the lesions, confirming the diagnosis of abdominal and thoracic splenosis based on detailed patient history and CEUS. Importantly, we were able to refrain from diagnostic biopsy, which otherwise might have led to serious complications considering the highly perfused splenotic tissue and the deranged coagulation due to hepatitis C-related liver dysfunction. Since splenosis is a benign condition, no specific treatment was necessary. Instead, treatment for hepatitis C and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was initiated to improve his prognosis and the patient received oral pain medication, which resolved his pleurisy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_281_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_281_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b3bbca7edd8356b9db01a222a02c9337b384b404 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_281_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 59-year-old Japanese man complained of pain in his lower right leg.

Emergent computed tomographic (CT) scan demonstrated a transverse mid-body fracture of the sternum with surrounding fluid collection.

Initial laboratory data demonstrated a white blood cell (WBC) count of 25,100/uL and C-reactive protein (CRP) of 340 mg/L.

A few days after admission, her inotropic requirement increased progressively as her hemodynamic status deteriorated. She was endotracheally intubated and follow up images showed progressive changes. The abscess could be seen extending to both the anterior and posterior aspects of the fractured sternum and to the left pectoralis muscles and subcutaneous tissues . Moreover, transesophageal echocardiography was done because of her bacteremia and it showed a large vegetation in the mitral valve with moderate insufficiency . We believed that definitive surgical treatment involving aggressive debridement, probably followed by vegetectomy, is the only effective method of saving our seriously co-infected patient with extensive mediastinitis and concomitant mitral valve endocarditis with large vegetation. +The patient was taken to the operating theater the next day. We performed a median incision and drained the mediastinal abscess, debrided her fractured sternum, including the cartilaginous portions of the transverse second and third ribs, the left internal mammary artery and the left pectoralis muscles with necrotic subcutaneous tissues. The manubrium of the sternum was spared from debridement since there was no gross evidence of infection, leaving a 12-cm defect in the mid-portion of the sternal body. After the debridement, vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy with continuous saline washing was performed. The first wound culture demonstrated the presence of Methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), and the antibiogram was identical to that of the MSSA isolate from the blood. Intravenous vancomycin was changed to intravenous cefazolin. +Over the next week, she underwent two wound irrigation procedures. Although subsequent cultures at dressing changes were all negative in this period, she had continuously high grade fever and her laboratory data still demonstrated high. After extensive discussion of the benefits and risks of the surgical intervention because of the significant co-morbidities, we decided to perform the vegetectomy and mitral valve repair. The cardiopulmonary bypass was established through lower partial sternotomy. Surgery revealed perforation with a large vegetation of the posterior mitral leaflet, which was completely resected and successfully repaired with an autologous pericardial patch . The aortic crossclamp time was 98 min and cardiopulmonary bypass time was 132 min. After 4 days, the lower sternum was apposed using sternal wires and the chest wound was completely closed with an omental flap . +There were no pulmonary complications and the patient received intravenous cefazolin for 8 weeks. At the 8th month follow-up period, the patient showed no signs of infection and was doing well without any significant mitral insufficiency. +There are some reports of sternal fractures with osteomyelitis as a complication of closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation , and are not uncommon in the setting of antecedent chest wall trauma, such as thoracic surgery [, ]. However, a mediastinal abscess because of a primary traumatic sternal fracture is uncommon [, ]. Cuschieri et al. identified the presence of hematoma, intravenous drug use, and a source of staphylococcal infection as risk factors for developing a posttraumatic mediastinal abscess . Of note, the majority of these patients have an underlying systemic disease such as diabetes mellitus, liver dysfunction, or compromised host . In our case, the patient had no remarkable co-morbidity, experienced only a traumatic episode 1 month earlier and she was accompanied by the native valve endocarditis. To the best of our knowledge, this catastrophic situation is extremely rare and has not been previously reported, nor has a successful strategy been employed to manage this situation; hence, we described this case. +Once diagnosed this serious co-infected case, the primary concern of any surgical procedure is to control the bacteria infection . Treatment of mediastinitis may depend on the degree severity of the infectious; conservative therapy for mild infections, or single staged intervention such as debridement and primary wound closure for moderate infections, or leaving the wound open and second-stage closure using the several closure techniques available for severe cases [, ]. Urbanski et al. reported a case of chronic sternal osteomyelitis after radiation and severe aortic valve stenosis . The patient was treated simultaneously by sternal debridement and concomitant aortic valve replacement, and single-stage primary wound closure. This was a case of chronic non-severe mediastinitis; therefore, the single staged intervention could be performed. In our case, the mediastinal abscess was already extensive and progressed in a few days; furthermore, the patient had concomitant endocarditis with uncontrolled infection and considerable risks of embolism from the lerge vegetation. Thus, we decided on a staged strategy: first, open drainage for mediastinitis; second, cardiac operation for endocarditis; and finally, primary wound closure with omental flap. +It remains unclear when the endocarditis with the vegetation should be treated in this co-infected situation. For example, Kang et al. demonstrated that early surgical intervention in patients with large vegetation (a diameter greater than 10 mm) may significantly decrease embolic events and in-hospital mortality . Moreover, the risk of embolism has been reported to be particularly high during the first week after diagnosis. However, cardiac operations performed too early had the disadvantage of increasing the risk for recurrent mediastinitis. In our patient, although she had VAC therapy for about 2 weeks and underwent four procedures from initial debridement to cardiac operation, the infection was not controllable because of the large vegetation. We thought this timing was best to perform the vegetectomy. +In treating the mitral valve endocarditis, several surgical approaches may be employed. The right thoracotomy approach could avoid going through the infected field and decrease the recurrence of the bacteria. However, the major disadvantage is the need for an additional right-sided thoracotomy incision, which requires a longer mechanical ventilation period, as is often the case with our older patients after aggressive debridement of the sternum. With partial sternotomy, Kaneda et al. reported the usefulness of a lower partial sternotomy for acutely infected endocarditis in patients with tracheostoma . When the manubrium of the sternum could be spared from debridement, the lower partial sternotomy approach was associated with benefits, including thoracic stability because of preservation of the sternoclavicular joint and the upper ribs. In our case, we believe that lower partial sternotomy could be performed and sparing the manubrium of sternum led to a favorable result. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2863_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2863_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f8d36c0f9663cc707dc770945278547b0211230a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2863_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 3-year-old Arabic boy from Yemen presented with intermittent episodes of shortness of breath, lethargy, fatigability, vomiting, and "cyanotic" discoloration of his skin, lips, mucous membranes and nail beds for the past two years.

A modest positive response was seen after per oral clindamycin and oral prednisolone (60 mg/days) with dose reduction for 14 days. Lingual tonsil and epiglottis were biopsied. Histology showed granulomatous reaction in lingual tonsil with CD68+ (Kp-1) epithelioid histiocytes . The CD20+ B lymphocyte count was increased while Pax-5+ positive B lymphocyte count was normal. CD138+ plasma cells were scarce, and they showed polytypic kappa- and lambda light chain expression. The number of CD3+ T cells was normal, and most T cells were CD4+. Eosinophils were practically absent and well-formed follicles were not seen. Epstein–Barr virus in situ hybridization (EBER), p16, cytomegalovirus and mycobacteria were negative. Morphology, immunohistochemical staining, serum electrophoresis and bone marrow aspirate did not raise suspicion of lymphoid neoplasia, thus, no clonality studies were done. +Due to granulomas, sarcoidosis was considered. However, chest X-ray, computerized tomography of chest and ultrasound of neck and abdomen were unremarkable. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lingual tonsil, without evidence of widespread sarcoidosis . No other pathological FDG foci were found. Focal physiological FDG accumulation was seen in ureters on both sides of the spinal column. This is a common finding due to ureteral peristalsis and pooling of radiotracer in the recumbent patient. The patient had no neurological symptoms and brain magnetic resonance imaging was normal. Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) was within normal range (11–20 U/l; reference range 9–65 U/l) while daily urine calcium output was normal or slightly elevated (5.0–6.31 mmol; reference range 1.2–5.5 mmol). +Subsequently, an unusual presentation of primary or secondary immunodeficiency was considered. There was no consanguinity; the patient or her family had no history of repeated infections or autoimmunity. White cell, lymphocyte, and B, T and NK lymphocyte subset counts were within normal limits. CD19+ B cell count was 153 × 109/l (normal range 80–616 × 109/l). Proportions of memory CD27+ B-cells (30.3%) and IgD−IgM−CD27+ switched memory B cells 7.2%; (normal range 6.5–29.2%) were normal and the percentage of activated CD21low B cells was high (6.6%; normal range 0.6–3.5%). Percentages of various CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cell subsets appeared normal. Serum total IgG (3.5 g/l; normal range 6.77–15.0 g/l) and all IgG subclass concentrations were low: IgG1 2.45 g/l (normal range 4.9–11.4 g/l), IgG2 0.91 g/l (normal range 1.5–6.4 g/l), IgG3 0.18 g/l (normal range 0.2–1.1 g/l) and IgG4 0.02 g/L (normal range 0.08–1.4 g/l). Anti-polysaccharide response to Pneumovax® were impaired, with only 3/10 serotypes reaching a level of 0.35 µg/ml after immunization. However, serum IgA (0.90 g/l; normal range 0.52–4.02 g/l) and IgM concentrations (0.57 g/l; normal range 0.47–2.84 g/l) were normal. Dihydrorhodamine test excluded chronic granulomatous disease. These findings were thus consistent with either granulomatous CVID or most likely secondary drug-induced hypogammaglobulinemia with a novel clinical presentation [–]. Genetic analysis (Blueprint Genetics, Primary Immunodeficiency Plus panel. ) did not find known mutations causative of CVID-like or other primary immunodeficiencies. +Due to symptomatic upper airway obstruction, dysphagia, lack of evident infection and unsatisfactory response to prednisolone treatment and possible granulomatous CVID, the patient received immunoglobulin replacement and rituximab therapy (Mabthera® 100 mg, 200 mg and 500 mg on three consecutive days combined with 100 mg hydrocortisone and 1 g paracetamol), with a favorable response within 2 weeks accompanied by significant improvement in dysphagia and respiratory symptoms. Seven months later, her exercise capacity was good. She has remained asymptomatic for over 16 months after rituximab treatment. Her fiberoptic pharyngeal findings improved . She continues to receive subcutaneous immunoglobulin replacement with serum IgG levels in the range of 10 to 12 g/l. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2889_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2889_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0d0a47f00e504140861b16e525a80f417f49b2e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2889_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +A 33-year-old Bangladeshi woman with hypertension and diabetes had initially presented to a different hospital with intermittent episodes of palpitations for 2 years, with documented electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of AF during the episodes.

When queried, she confirmed that these symptoms were not like those she had previously experienced during her paroxysms of AF, and reiterated that they only developed after the EPS. +She had no prior history of thromboembolic events, long flights, prolonged immobilization, or oral contraceptive use, and she denied any family history of thrombophilia. There was no evidence of either hypertensive or diabetic nephropathy. A urine dipstick test was negative for protein. A thrombophilia work-up revealed normal levels for protein C and S, antinuclear antibody, and anticardiolipin antibody, thus eliminating other causes of hypercoagulability as possible etiologies of thrombosis. +On examination, she was hemodynamically stable and heart and lung auscultation was unremarkable. There was no unilateral leg swelling. An ECG showed T inversions in leads III, aVF, and V1–4. It also revealed mild tricuspid regurgitation and a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 50 mmHg.

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was measured at 12 mm. Her left atrium (LA) was of normal size and measured 33 mm. Qualitative assessment revealed that right atrium was larger than her LA. There was no evidence of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Her LV ejection fraction (EF) was 65 % and there were no regional wall motion abnormalities of her LV. There was no evidence of thrombus in any of the cardiac chambers. +A CT coronary and pulmonary angiogram revealed normal coronaries with filling defects in the descending branch of her left pulmonary artery extending into the segmental arteries, suggesting thrombus . +Subsequently, a duplex ultrasound study of her lower limb venous system showed absent blood flow in her right external and common femoral veins, confirming acute DVT affecting her right ilio-femoral segment without signs of recanalization . +Given the sequence of events and their temporal relationship with the EPS, and in the absence of other risk factors for DVT, it was established that the acute DVT occurred as a consequence of the femoral vein catheterization and multiple venous sheaths inserted for EPS, subsequently leading to PE.

The patient claimed he had experienced a similar clinical condition three months ago. Before reporting to our hospital, he had visited a local hospital in the region, where they administered him local symptomatic treatment of antipyretics, antibiotics and transfused with 2 units of whole blood, after which he felt mild improvement. However, two months later, his clinical signs recur but this time with loss of appetite, weight loss and generalized weakness.

Maternal history revealed intra-uterine growth retardation during the antenatal period that ended with a full-term female baby born through cesarean section due to breach presentation. Her birth weight was 2.75 kg. +The proband had normal feeding history, and there were no neonatal concerns. At approximately 5 months of age, the proband attained her neck control. She could stand with support by 3 years and could walk independently by 5 years of age. She could utter only a few bi-syllable words. Despite being hyperactive, no abnormal hand movements were observed. She had a history of two episodes of febrile seizures at 8 months and 2 years of age. During these episodes, she was observed with other symptoms such as cough, cold, and fever. Her physical examination revealed craniofacial disproportion, which included microcephaly with a narrow bifrontal diameter and a flat forehead. Other anomalies such as facial dysmorphy including epicanthal folds, hypertelorism, depressed and low nasal bridge with bulbous nasal tip, flaring nares, prominent philtrum, and pointed chin were also observed . However, no oro-dental anomalies were observed in the proband. +She also had hallux valgus with increased gap between the first and second toes (sandal gap deformity), clinodactyly of toes, and pes planus (flat feet). No other deformity of the trunk or limbs was observed. She had dark pigmentation in armpits, genitalia, and on the knuckles. She had mild hypotonia with brisk and deep tendon reflexes. Her expressive communication was good but her verbal communication was affected. Her social responses seemed to be fair. The proband was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with psychomotor developmental delay. Sample collection and written informed consent was obtained according to the need of the institutional ethics committee in accordance with Helsinki declaration. CARE guidelines were followed for reporting. +On investigation, low hemoglobin with normal serum calcium (10 mg/dl) and Vitamin B12 levels were detected. Her sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) was normal. Radiographic studies of the proband showed small sclerotic areas in the lower part of the right femur, and abnormally shaped skull with minimal sclerosis in the lower occipital region . However, the bone density was normal and there were no features of fracture or dislocation of the bones. Corticomedullary differentiation was maintained and no periosteal reaction was noted. CT scan of the brain revealed prominent sulcal pattern with enlarged cisternal spaces in the brain parenchyma. These changes were prominently observed in the frontoparietal region. In addition, mild cortical atrophy was also detected. There was no evidence of focal hypo– or hyperdense lesion. Moreover, subdural, extradural or intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid bleeding was not observed. The pons, midbrain, both cerebellar hemisphere, and brain stem appeared normal. No mass lesion was observed in the posterior fossa. +MRI revealed a significant hypoplastic appearance of posterior part of the brain. It also showed corpus callosal dysgenesis with the absence of rostral area. Moreover, a mild paucity of the peritrigonal white matter was seen surrounding the trigones of bilateral lateral ventricles. However, no obvious gliosis, extra-axial collection or lesions were noted. Her echocardiogram showed normal systemic and pulmonary venous drainage, normal valves, and normal sized cardiac chambers. The Ophthalmological evaluation revealed bilateral intact vision with healthy macula. +Chromosome banding study showed a normal female karyotype i.e. 46, XX at 550-bands resolution . The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study was performed using LSI ELN (7q11) (orange) /LSI 7q22 (green) (Kreatech dual color probe). Since two signals were observed in all the cells, clinical prediction of Williams syndrome was ruled out. The proband DNA was further investigated with array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) using [Agilent 60 K], with an average resolution of 150 kb. No copy number variations i.e. deletions and/or duplications of pathogenic significance were detected [arr(1–22,X)× 2]. Thus, cytogenetic aberrations with resolution of 150 kb or greater were unlikely to be responsible for the clinical features in the proband. +The genomic DNA (gDNA) of the proband was isolated from the peripheral blood using the salting-out technique . This DNA sample was processed for clinical exome sequencing (CES) on Illumina NextSeq 500. A detailed protocol is mentioned in the Additional file .

This variation resulted in the amino acid substitution of threonine for serine at codon 410 (p.Ser410Thr; ENST00000313766), confirming the clinical diagnosis of RS (OMIM # 259775). +The functional effect of this variant was studied using the in silico analysis tools. The variant was predicted to be disease-causing by Mutation Taster , with a score of 58. The impact of the substitution of serine to threonine was predicted to be probably damaging (score of 0.972) by Polyphen2 (PolymorphismPhenotypingV2) . Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) predicted that the variant was tolerated with a score of 0.51, and PROVEAN anticipated that the variant had a deleterious effect on the protein function. This variant was reported as a likely pathogenic allele (SCV000583504.1) and benign (SCV000343602.2) in ClinVar. Its reference SNP number is rs148276213. The minor allele frequency of the rs148276213 variant is 0.0034 in the 1000 genomes database and 0.006108 in the ExAC database for the South Asian population. +CES also revealed another compound heterozygous variant in the tubulin gamma complex associated with protein 6 (TUBGCP6) gene (OMIM*610053) in the proband. The compound heterozygous variant in exon 24 [c.5327C > G (p.Ser1776Cys)] and exon 16 [c.3383G > A (p.Arg1128Lys)] is associated with microcephaly and chorioretinopathy-1 (OMIM#251270). In silico analysis predicted the first variant (c.5327C > G/p.Ser1776Cys) to be disease-causing using the Mutation Taster, tolerated by SIFT (score 0.07) and probably damaging by PolyPhen (score 1.00). While second variant (c.3383G > A /p.Arg1128Lys) found to be a polymorphism by Mutation T@ster, tolerated by SIFT (score 0.65), and benign by PolyPhen (score 0.023). Second variant was dismissed as the cause of disease in the proband, because this genotypic variation did not correlate with the phenotypic features of the proband, and also because various bioinformatics prediction softwares could not predict it as damaging. +The variant has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Its confirmation in the proband and her parents was carried out using bi-directional Sanger sequencing with primers covering both the exon and the intron-exon boundary of exon 6 of the FAM20C gene (Additional file ). Sequencing confirmed both the parents to be heterozygous, and the proband to be homozygous for c.1228 T > A (p.Ser410Thr) variant in exon 6 of FAM20C gene . This variant was submitted to ClinVar database (accession ID is SCV000583504.1). During a subsequent pregnancy, the same family approached again for genetic counseling. The prenatal diagnosis revealed a heterozygous state of the fetus for the c.1228 T > A (p.Ser410Thr) variant, and a normal carrier child was delivered (data not shown). +Using NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), the native and mutated sequences of the FAM20C gene were studied to understand the effect of the variant, and also to predict the protein structure against PDB with default parameters . The template PDBID: 5WRR was considered for modeling the protein structure. Additional details regarding the homological modeling is mentioned in the Additional file [–]. +A root mean sequence deviation (RMSD) of 0.3 Ao was observed between native and mutant structure, indicating changes in the loop regions of the superimposed structure. A decrease instability was predicted by iStable with a confidence score of 0.605. Furthermore, I-Mutant predicted a large decrease in protein stability due to the variant p.Ser410Thr with ΔΔG value of − 1.37 Kcal/mol . +The protein sequence of Homo sapiens (NP_064608) was aligned along with other species using an online multiple sequence alignment program known as Clastal Omega . It is observed that the orthologs protein sequences of the FAM20C gene were highly identical to H. sapiens FAM20C gene protein sequence suggesting a highly conserved locus . +Using PCR technique of amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS), 200 unrelated control samples (100 males and 100 females) were studied to demonstrate the pathogenicity of c.1228T>A (p.Ser410Thr) variant. Amplification of the PCR product was confirmed by 2.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. From the 200 subjects screened for the above genotype, no carriers for the c.1228T>A (p.Ser410Thr) variant were found (Additional file ). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2962_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2962_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8e112a947fa78c6a7bf7a691f57c672afe4c34fa --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2962_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 52-year-old female was referred to our ophthalmology clinic with decreased vision and increased tearing. +She was diagnosed with stage III Alport syndrome two years prior which was currently stable per her nephrologist.

The tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9) were within the normal range. Ultrasonography showed that the mass occupied almost the entire upper abdomen anterior to the bowel loops. On computed tomography (CT), a mass behind the left hepatic lobe showed heterogeneous low density with faint enhancement . Abdominal angiography revealed that the tumor was vascularized mainly from the right epigastric artery . We suspected liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, mesothelioma, or gastric GIST. At laparotomy on October 2006, a well-encapsulated tumor was found in the greater omentum. There was no adhesion to adjacent organs and structures but a pinpoint adhesion to the stomach. The right gastroepiploic artery and vein were prominent and stretched by the tumor, and a major supply vessel diverged from it in one stalk . There was no evidence of metastasis in the abdominal cavity. Grossly, a well-demarcated reddish-gray solid tumor, 20 × 17 × 6 cm in size, showed irregular modularity . The cut surfaces were tan-colored and contained focally necrotic areas and a cystic nodule. Histopathologically, the tumor was composed of proliferating epithelioid cells and myxoid cells with an interlacing bundle pattern . The cellularity was relatively high and the frequency of mitotic figures was 2 of 50 high power fields (HPF). The MIB-1 index was 4.4% . The tumor cells were diffusely immunoreactive for myeloid stem cell antigen (CD34), weakly or focally positive for c-kit proto-oncogene protein product (CD117) and slightly positive for neuron-specific enolase (NSE). However, there was no staining for cytokeratin (CK), alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) or S-100 protein. Direct sequencing demonstrated mutations in the platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFRA) gene exon 12, codon 561, encoding a thymine to adenine substitution . These findings were consistent with a myxoid epithelioid GIST lacking myogenic features and neural attributes. The patient had a complete tumor resection and an uneventful postoperative course.

Subsequently, we closely observed the patient's condition and gave the patient symptomatic treatment. After continuous skull traction, we reexamination the patient's neck CT again, it was confirmed that the locked facet joints of the patient had been reattached. With the patient's condition tended to be stable, an elective operation of ACDF was performed on the injured segment of the cervical spine, and intravenous inhalation combined with anesthesia was used during the operation. The patient was placed in a supine position, and a right anterior cervical transverse incision was made about 5 cm in length. The skin, subcutaneous tissue, and platysma were cut. The gap between the cervical vascular sheath and the visceral sheath was isolated, and the trachea esophagus and esophagus were pulled to expose the anterior fascia of the vertebra. The C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy was used to determine the intervertebral disc of the injured segment, and the target intervertebral disc was confirmed under direct vision. The outer annulus fibrosus was incised with a sharp knife to observe the deep intervertebral disc injury. A spatula and nucleus pulposus forceps were used to completely remove the injured intervertebral disc from the endplate. The bilateral uncinate joints were examined and bitten with a thin-mouth plier.

The infant was delivered by uneventful vaginal delivery at 37 weeks and three days. The birth weight was 2980 gr (0.29 SDS, 61st percentile). She did not present any health problems in the first days of life, and showed regular physical growth during the first weeks of life. + +Two days before hospitalization, the infant presented with a cough, rhinitis, and inappetence. Upon later appearance of respiratory distress, she was conducted to the emergency department. On admission, the girl was afebrile. Physical examination demonstrated severely compromised general conditions, with wheezing, dyspnea, and decreased breathing sounds on auscultation of lungs. Blood tests showed a clinical picture of severe hypercapnic respiratory failure (on capillary blood sample: pH 7.25, PaCO2 71.4 mmHg, HCO3 -31.3 mg/dL, excess base 3.9). Sepsis was excluded. A chest X-ray showed signs of severe respiratory distress. Echocardiography excluded congenital heart defects. The infant was immediately intubated, and conventional mechanical ventilation with synchronous intermittent positive pressure ventilation (SIPPV) was started, with constant monitoring of vital parameters. After placing a central venous line and a nasogastric tube, adequate sedation was provided and total parenteral nutrition was initiated. Simultaneously, inotropic agents (dopamine and dobutamine) were administered to offer support to the cardiovascular system; this strategy was not adopted with the support of targeted neonatal echocardiography (TnEcho), which was unavailable in the neonatal intensive care unit. Antibiotic prophylaxis with cephalosporine and macrolides (ceftriaxone and clarithromycin, respectively) was started.

Despite the ongoing medical and ventilator strategies, hypercapnia progressively worsened, reaching a capillary PaCO2 level of 123 mmHg. At this point, rescue treatment with whole-body hypothermia (34.0 °C) was started in an attempt to reduce CO2 production. Of note, the infant showed gradual respiratory improvement with a decrease in CO2 level. To further enhance gas exchanges by increasing lung vasodilatation, nitric oxide by inhalation was started. Overall, whole-body hypothermia was maintained for 48 h, with further lowering of capillary PaCO2 level and no side effects. Afterwards, the baby was gradually warmed up by increasing the core temperature by 0.25 °C/h, without detecting a subsequent CO2 increase. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation was maintained for five days, after which SIPPV was started. The need for O2 therapy progressively reduced. Overall, nitric oxide was provided for 10 days. Extubation was performed after 10 days of hospitalization, with a switch to non-invasive mechanical ventilation (high-flow nasal cannula) for two days. Hemodynamic support lasted six days, while antibiotic prophylaxis was discontinued on day nine. During hospitalization, no neurological deficits were observed. To exclude the injury to the central nervous system caused by severe hypercapnia, the infant underwent a brain ultrasound, electroencephalography, and magnetic resonance imaging, the results of which were normal.

Her personal and family history did not reveal any pathology of note. Her first pregnancy ended with an intra-uterine death at 23 weeks' gestation caused by chorioamnionitis. In the second pregnancy, a live baby girl was delivered at 40 weeks' gestation. Four years later our patient had a spontaneous miscarriage. Our patient denied any fever, rash, cold symptoms, or joint pain before and during pregnancy. She did not refer to any vaginal bleeding. Laboratory tests for Toxoplasma and rubeola showed negative immunoglobulin M (IgM). An ultrasound examination performed during the consultation confirmed the presence of abdominal ascites . A borderline monolateral dilation of the cerebral ventricle was also seen. Biometry of the fetal limbs was below the mean in relation to gestational age, while cephalic measurements were normal. No other fetal anomalies were observed. Amniotic fluid was present in adequate quantity, but fetal movements were poor. For these reasons, the woman was admitted to our institution for close pregnancy monitoring. During hospitalization, her blood pressure and heart frequency were measured several times during the day, while cardiotocography was performed twice a day. Maternal blood pressure was normal, and there was no proteinuria. Investigation about the etiology of the fetal ascites were carried out, and a fetal paracentesis was also performed. Both parents had normal mean corpuscular erythrocyte volume with no sign of microcythemia and they both had positive blood group Rh without any pathologic antibodies. A routine blood laboratory assessment did not show any kind of abnormalities. Viral serology markers (cytomegalovirus IgG and IgM, parvovirus IgG and IgM) were negative in the maternal blood, and no viral genome was isolated in her amniotic fluid or the fetal ascites sample. The fetal karyotype was normal (46, XY). A Kleihauer-Betke test showed no evidence of fetal erythrocytes in the maternal circulation. Immunologic markers, lupus anticoagulant anticardiolipin, antinuclear, and anti-RO antibodies were negative; G6PD was also excluded. There was no evidence regarding the cause of fetal ascites (then considered non-immune or hydiopatic). Only a mild increase in inflammation indices was noted (VES 40, PCR 7.325); an antibiotic preventive treatment was performed for five days (sulbactam/ampicillin 1.5 mg three times daily, gentamicin 80 mg three times daily, metronidazole 500 mg three times daily). During hospitalization, detailed ultrasound scans were performed at least every two days to monitor the ascites and general condition of the fetus. Fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (PSV) was measured to diagnose fetal anemia. Pulsatility index (PI) of either the umbilical artery (UA) or the MCA as well as the resistance index of uterine arteries were assessed to better evaluate the materno-fetal perfusion. Monitoring scans showed a deterioration of fetal condition. Paracentesis was performed at 25 weeks' gestation, but two days later the fetal ascites occurred again. A restriction of fetal growth and progressive reduction of amniotic fluid were also registered. The value of PSV in the MCA was borderline for moderate to severe anemia according to Mari's chart , whereas fetal Doppler ultrasound parameters were normal. At 27 weeks' gestation, a reverse end-diastolic flow in the MCA occurred . This abnormal waveform pattern persisted for all the ultrasound examinations, and it was not associated with other Doppler abnormalities (PI UA 1.15, PI MCA 1.54). The condition was interpreted as 'at risk', and our patient was submitted to closer monitoring. Fetal echocardiography showed cardiomegaly without significant abnormality of heart structures and a mild tricuspid regurgitation. Cardiotocography monitoring showed fetal bradycardia (fetal heart rate 100 beats per minute). Our patient was submitted to fetal magnetic resonance imaging to investigate in particular the brain edema, and this confirmed the presence of fetal ascites without showing any abnormality of fetal cerebral tissue or signs of hypoxia. Corticosteroid treatment (betamethasone 12 mg for two days) was started because of a high risk for preterm delivery.

He was initially diagnosed with tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT), previously referred to as pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), in 2019 and underwent an open posterior synovectomy at that time. A recurrence occurred in 2021, which was treated with arthroscopic synovectomy. By 2024, the patient reported persistent knee effusion and pain, limiting his daily activities despite prior interventions. On physical examination, there was mild swelling and tenderness over the suprapatellar region, with a restricted range of motion. Ligamentous stability and neurovascular status were intact. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed diffuse synovial thickening with nodular features and characteristic low T2 signal intensity, consistent with diffuse TGCT. The imaging demonstrated a large multilobulated Baker’s cyst measuring 3.8 × 10 cm, located posteriorly, consistent with a synovial herniation cyst secondary to intra-articular TGCT. Additionally, MRI revealed synovial thickening adjacent to the medial femoral condyle, with no evidence of direct extra-articular tumor extension. Also, there were cartilage changes in the tibial plateau with minimal focal myxoid degeneration and evidence of small partial-thickness cartilage loss. Axial imaging confirmed the size and extent of the Baker’s cyst. The findings were significant for disease complexity, particularly involving the posterior compartment. The patient underwent arthroscopic-assisted synovectomy under spinal anesthesia. Diagnostic arthroscopy revealed inflamed synovium with cartilage changes in the patella, medial, and lateral compartments. Posteromedial and posterolateral portals were utilized to access the posterior compartment, allowing for thorough visualization and synovectomy. Synovectomy was performed in a systematic, stepwise manner, starting in safer peripheral regions and working toward critical areas to minimize the risk of iatrogenic injury, with careful protection of the neurovascular bundle. This was achieved by maintaining a clear surgical plane, using blunt-tipped instruments, and avoiding excessive dissection near neurovascular structures. The Baker’s cyst, identified as a secondary synovial herniation, was excised by removing its wall and contents to minimize recurrence risk. Postoperatively, the patient started physical therapy to regain knee range of motion. During the two-week follow-up, the patient reported mild residual effusion but was progressing well with rehabilitation. The surgical wound was healing satisfactorily, and there were no signs of infection or complications. Given the diffuse nature of TGCT and the high recurrence rates associated with the condition, the patient was referred to oncology for evaluation. The decision for adjuvant therapy, including radiotherapy or systemic treatment with Pexidartinib, was deferred to the oncology team in consultation with the patient. The options discussed included radiotherapy or systemic treatment with Pexidartinib, a colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor, both of which have shown efficacy in reducing recurrence risk. Ultimately, the choice of adjuvant treatment was left to be further evaluated by oncology during follow-up visits. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_336_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_336_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5c7c34d79fbc2d2d0a9ab7133bf5eef950684f57 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_336_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +In April 2006, a 75-year old man who had been successfully treated for colon cancer 13 years ago, thyroid cancer 12 years ago, and was receiving endocrine therapy for prostate cancer from last year was transferred to our hospital for a fracture of his left proximal femur.

Despite the transfusion of blood and the administration of normal saline, the patient subsequently became hypotensive (SBP 60–70 mmHg), tachycardic, hypoxic, febrile (40.5°C) and confused. Re-intubation was required for respiratory distress. A chest radiograph showed diffuse pulmonary edema. We initially suspected this condition of acute pulmonary emboli. Immediately, the patient underwent CT examination from head to abdomen. Enhanced chest CT revealed a left hilar mass suggesting a primary lung cancer but no pulmonary embolus. A ventilation/perfusion scan performed on the next day showed no perfusion defect and confirmed definitely no evidence of pulmonary embolism. Concomitant brain and abdominal CT scan also demonstrated a low density area in the parietal lobe of the left brain and massively enlarged bilateral adrenal glands consistent with metastases . After the CT evaluation, we finally diagnosed adrenal crisis due to extensive destruction of adrenal tissue caused by metastases. Blood was drawn at 8:00 on the first postoperative day for serum cortisol levels that were found to be 2.0 μg/dl on the third postoperative day. Betamethasone (2 mg) was given to the patient at first, and switched to hydrocortisone, 100 mg administered intravenously every 8 hours. Dramatic improvement occurred in the subsequent hours following administration of hydrocortisone. The fever and hypotension promptly subsided and hyponatremia instantly disappeared. The patient recovered his consciousness and could be successfully extubated. On postoperative day 3, he was started on early remobilization by physical therapy. On postoperative day 7, the patient could sit down on the edge of a bed without assistance, followed by transfer exercise to a wheelchair. Although he could not undergo a CT-guided biopsy of the adrenal gland due to the flat refusal of his family, the following CT examination on postoperative day 35 demonstrated that bilateral adrenal glands neither decreased in size nor showed atrophic change, suggesting that adrenal enlargement was mainly caused by metastasis rather than hemorrhagic complication. The patient was transferred to the related hospital for further rehabilitation on postoperative day 39. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3371_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3371_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ba7509c7800ff43f86360eee980063240c9d9323 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3371_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +An 85-year-old menopausal woman was referred to our hospital for diagnostic evaluation of worsening dyspnea over 6 weeks.

The adipose cells appeared almost mature, but the tumor contained atypical cells with varied size and shape, including a few mono- or mutli-vacuolated lipoblastic cells. The fibrous tissues contained muscle fibers. Few cells were positive for MIB-1 antibody (proliferating cells). The resected renal tumor was 1.6 × 1.6 cm in size, histopathology showed a clear cell RCC circumscribed by a fibrous capsule, classified as G1 pT1a (i.e. less than 4 cm in size and confined to the kidney). Surgical margins of both tumors were negative and no adjuvant treatment was performed. Ten years after the operation, the patient is doing well and has not experienced a recurrence. +Young patient age can indicate a hereditary RCC syndrome. However, our patient had no family history and clinical signs of tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, and succinate dehydrogenase-associated familial cancer. +We identified five reported cases of concurrent liposarcoma and RCC [–] . Patients age ranged from 58 to 79 years (median 71 years), slightly older than the average age for all RCC patients. The RCC histological subtype was clear cell in 1 case , papillary cell in 3 cases [, , ] and granular cell in 1 case (note: it has recently been shown that “granular cell” type RCC is not an independent histological type). The location of liposarcoma was perirenal [, ] in 2 cases, retroperitoneal [, ] in 2 cases, and cardiac in 1 case (found by autopsy). Although the number of reported cases is small, it is interesting to note that only one case represented the clear cell subtype whereas three cases were diagnosed as papillary cell RCC. In the present case retroperitoneal liposarcoma was located in interaortocaval space and RCC histology was clear cell. Our case and all of the previously reported cases were males, which fits with the male predisposition for RCC. +In addition to the previously described cases, we found two published case reports regarding liposarcomatous differentiation in chromophobe RCCs [, ]. In contrast, the renal tumor in our case was a typical clear cell RCC, and the two tumors represented distinct entities. +Over the last 15 years, 1123 patients with retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma have been reported in 25 series; these tumors had a mean diameter of 15.7 cm . Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas represent 0.10 to 0.15% of all malignancies and 45% of all retroperitoneal tumors. Because of the localization, symptoms are nonspecific (e.g., abdominal discomfort and palpable mass) and caused by tumor growth, which is typically very large when detected. The only curative treatment modality is complete surgical resection; chemotherapy and radiation therapy show no survival benefit. It has been reported that 51.4% of these tumors can be completely excised and that 50.2% of these excisions include adjacent organs . The prognosis without complete excision is poor with reported 5- and 10-year survival rates of 16.7% and 8.0% respectively . +Local recurrence represents the major type of progression for retroperitoneal liposarcomas. Yamamoto et al. described 45 patients with well-differentiated liposarcoma who underwent surgical treatment. Among 41 patients who underwent initial surgery, only one recurrence occurred, which was localized in the retroperitoneal space. For 4 patients who underwent a reoperation, the mean time between the initial surgery and the recurrence was 16.5 years. None of the 45 patients developed distant metastasis. In our case, during the 10 years of follow-up to date, no recurrence or metastasis has been detected. However, continued follow-up is necessary because late recurrences are common with liposarcoma. +Previously reported liposarcomas have demonstrated heterogeneous signal intensity on MRI with great variation depending on the components and histological patterns of a particular tumor. Retroperitoneal liposarcomas have been classified into several clinico-pathological subtypes . Myxoid liposarcoma, consisting of a myxoid matrix and a small amount of mature fat, shows low signal intensity on T1 weighted image and high signal intensity on T2 weighted image . Well-differentiated liposarcoma presented high signal intensity on T1 weighted images, intermediate signal intensity on T2 weighted images, drop-out signal intensity on fat-suppressed MR images . Round-cell liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma exhibit the signal intensity of a soft-tissue tumor without a characteristic fat signal . Liposarcomas can present with intratumoral hemorrhage and may invade adjacent organs. In the present case, the tumor showed high signal intensity on the T2-weighted images, which is typical for myxoid liposarcoma and is inconsistent with well-differentiated liposarcoma which was diagnosed pathologically. Five-year and ten-year disease specific survival is the highest for well-differentiated liposarcoma (100% and 87%) followed by myxoid liposarcoma (88% and 76%), and is the lowest for pleomorphic liposarcoma (56% and 39%) . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_421_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_421_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..afae130d978c602bd6b8832b066375e33d4248f6 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_421_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 60-year-old female patient was hospitalized for swelling and pain in the left lower extremity for 5 days.

He was, therefore, referred to our hospital for surgical treatment. +The patient had no relevant family history or past history of malignant disease in the abdomen or retroperitoneum. He was asymptomatic and in good health, with the exception of severe obesity with a body mass index of 40. An abdominal examination revealed no tenderness or palpable mass.

The increased serum CA 19-9 levels, which was 43.3 U/mL in the previous hospital, had normalized to 16.9 U/mL at the time of the examination at our hospital. Ultrasonography identified a uniform hypoechoic cystic mass without septum and calcification in the retroperitoneum adjacent to the end of the ileum and appendix, which indicated a hyperechoic region with a debris-like appearance and no obvious nodular lesions or blood flow in the cyst. On enhanced CT, the retroperitoneal cystic mass appeared to be close to the appendix on the ventral side and to the right gonadal vessel on the medial side . Non-enhanced CT was regularly performed by his general practitioner who was managing him or diabetes to rule out a pancreatic lesion, and we also observed the changes of this cystic lesion over the course of three and a half years . The first image showed that the lesion was a 5 cm cystic mass with a uniform high density, with a CT value of 101 Hounsfield Units (HU). The second image, obtained 3 years later, showed that the cystic lesion had grown to 8 cm and that the internal density had decreased, as CT value of 28 HU. Eventually, the cyst diameter increased further to reach 10 cm and the CT value decreased slightly to 20 HU. Based on these clinical findings and the location, retroperitoneal lymphangioma, dermoid cyst and mucinous cystadenoma of appendix were listed as differential diagnoses. After we informed the patient that it would be difficult to make an accurate diagnosis of the retroperitoneal lesion and that malignant transformation could not be denied as a reason for the enlargement, we planned surgical resection rather than careful follow-up. +Laparoscopic surgery was performed under general anesthesia.

The lesion was not associated with the colonic wall or ureter and could be completely dissected without injury to the surrounding organs. The lesion was placed in an entrapment endobag and removed from the abdomen via the umbilical port site. The total operative time was 157 min, and the estimated blood loss was small.

At this point, bile leakage from the cystic duct was suspected and the patient was referred to our institution for further evaluation. +At admission, the patient’s general condition was preserved: blood pressure 110/60 mmHg, pulse rate 90/min, no fever. There was mild pain on palpation. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) was performed, which showed non-dilated bile ducts, fluid collection measuring 4/5 cm in the gall bladder bed, a small amount of fluid in the ileocecal region and above the urine bladder. Blood work established: leucocytes—13.3 × 109 (3.5–10.5 × 109/L), Hemoglobin (Hb)—152.0 g/L (120–140 g/L), thrombocytes—492 × 109 (150–450 × 109/L), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)—22 mm/h (<15 mm/h), C-reactive protein (CRP)—17.5 mg/L (<5 mg/L), total bilirubin—59.12 µmol/L (7–22.2 µmol/L), conjugated bilirubin—33.2 µmol/L (1.2–7.2 µmol/L), alanine aminotransferase (ASAT)—82 U/L (<40 U/L), aspartate aminotransferase (ALAT)—160 U/L (<40 U/L), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)—183.0 U/L (<52 U/L), alkaline phosphatase (AP)—325.0 U/L (<300 U/L). Urgent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was scheduled the same day. +ERCP was performed under intravenous anesthesia using a combination of fentanyl, midazolam, and propofol. Antibiotic treatment (ceftriaxone 2.0 g i.v.) was initiated. The patient was placed in a supine position. A therapeutic duodenoscope Olympus TJF-160VR (Olympus, Hamburg, Germany) was introduced and placed at the second portion of the duodenum “en face” with the major duodenal papilla. Deep biliary cannulation was achieved using the standard guidewire technique (sphincterotome—TrueTomeTM; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) and 0.035-inch guidewire (JagwireTM straight type, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA). Cholangiography was obtained which showed non-dilated common bile duct with complete obstruction at the level of common hepatic duct (CHD) caused by a clip. Despite all efforts, advancement of the guidewire above the stenosis was impossible. It was concluded that the CHD was misidentified as the cystic duct (CD) and transection of the CHD above the clip was suspected (Strasberg type E4 BDI). Based on the ERCP, imaging, and clinical findings, biliary peritonitis following persistent bile leak was anticipated, so the patient was immediately transferred to the Surgical Department for further evaluation. +Upon laparotomy, biliary peritonitis was established. Inspection of the liver hilum revealed massive injury (probably thermal) of the CHD involving the biliary confluence (confirmed Strasberg type E4 BDI). The clip was found at the distal end of the CHD. Taking into consideration the severe inflammation in this region, immediate repair of the defect and biliary reconstruction was deemed to be hazardous. Instead, two percutaneous biliary catheters (10 fr) were inserted in the left and right hepatic duct to ensure drainage, lavage of the peritoneal cavity was performed, and finally, three abdominal drainage tubes were positioned in the small pelvic area and at the subhepatic space. Since second revision of the abdominal cavity was anticipated, laparostomy was constructed and the patient was transferred to an Intensive Care Unit for supportive care. Re-exploration of the abdominal cavity was performed four days later and found resolved biliary peritonitis with adequate function of the biliary drainage tubes. The patient’s condition improved substantially and she was discharged 3 days later. Readmission was planned in 4 weeks for further assessment and subsequent biliary reconstructive surgery. +Surgical intervention, however, was delayed by a COVID-19 infection, which was generally mild in nature and treated symptomatically in outpatient settings. Unfortunately, about a week prior to the planned surgery, displacement and spontaneous extraction of the positioned biliary drains occurred. Initially, spontaneous evacuation of bilious fluid through the already maturated external BF was noted. A few days later, though, bile flow seized and the patient noticed darkening of the urine, jaundice, and low-grade fever—37.6 °C. She was immediately admitted to the Department of surgery, where her lab tests showed elevation bilirubin to 82.5 µmol/L, ALAT—64 U/L, GGT—159 U/L, AP—358 U/L, CRP—242.9 mg/L, leucocyte—13.3 × 109/L. Computer tomography (CT) was performed showing dilated intrahepatic bile ducts. Benign strictures of right and left HD were suspected and she was scheduled for surgery. Surprisingly, in the course of hospital admission, jaundice resolved and the patient even noticed normal coloration of the stools, which were persistently pale since the LC. A lab test also showed substantial improvement—bilirubin—33.2 µmol/L, ALAT—34 U/L, GGT—88 U/L, AP—228 U/L, CRP—15.6 mg/L, leucocyte—10.1 × 109/L. At this point, the patient was again referred to Gastroenterology Department for evaluation. +ERCP was performed in line with the described protocol. Upon transpapillary cannulation, no dynamic in the fluoroscopic finding was noted—non-dilated CBD, with proximal obstruction caused by a clip at the level of CHD. Careful withdrawal of the duodenoscope, however, revealed a fistulous opening at the level of bulbus duodeni with a flow of bile. Bilio-digestive fistula was naturally suspected. The fistulous opening was cannulated using a sphincterotome and a 0.025-inch straight guidewire . A short stricture was noted about 10 mm proximal to the fistulous opening, which was initially hard to negotiate through, but eventually, deep biliary cannulation was achieved. Fluoroscopy showed then a biliodigestive fistula formed between duodenum and the left hepatic duct (LHD), with a high-grade stenosis at the distal end of the duct. Further opacification of the biliary tree revealed an anatomical variation of the bile ducts with the right posterior duct draining into the left hepatic duct (Type 3A according to the intrahepatic duct anatomy classification; see ) . Considering this fact as well as the lack of clinical signs of cholangitis, it was decided that stenting of the left hepatic duct would ensure adequate biliary drainage and might preclude the need for surgery. The stricture was dilated to 8 mm using a biliary balloon dilation catheter (Hurricane Rx, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) and two straight plastic stents were inserted (Endoflex, Hamburg, Germany)—7 fr/6 cm in the 2nd segment branch and 10 fr/6 cm 3rd segment branch . There were no adverse events (AE) defined according to the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) guidelines [,]. The patient was discharged 3 days later, with readmission for reevaluation planned six months later. +At six months, the patient was readmitted and ERCP performed electively. Fluoroscopy revealed significant, though incomplete resolution of the stricture at the level of LHD. Further balloon dilation to 10 mm was performed, with subsequent insertion of 3 straight plastic stents—10 fr/6 cm in the 2nd segment branch, 10 fr/6 cm and 8.5 fr/6 cm in the 3rd segment branch. No ERCP-related adverse events were noted. +The patient remained symptom-free for the next 12 months. At one year, elective ERCP was performed. Complete resolution of the stricture was found, with one of the stents proximally migrated in the HD (discussed as an AE in ASGE but not ESGE guidelines). All biliary prostheses were removed with a snare, with the migrated stent being extracted using a standard upper endoscope, which was easily introduced through the fistula. +After one year of follow-up, the woman remains symptom free. Regular blood tests and abdominal US show no signs of biliary obstruction. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_481_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_481_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f0125146cf07428829dd855040c162af10e4b597 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_481_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +Family screening in a 9-year-old boy by a local paediatric cardiologist suggested a possible diagnosis of familial HCM and he was referred to our paediatric cardiomyopathy clinic.

On auscultation, a 2/6 systolic murmur in the 3rd intercostal space at the left sternal edge was audible. The ECG demonstrated discordant negative T-waves in Lead III and deep S-waves in the septal and anterior leads but based on these ECG findings solely and according to recent international recommendations in athletes, the patient would not have been considered for echocardiography. N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide level was 434 ng/L (normal range <112 ng/L). The echocardiogram showed asymmetric septal hypertrophy (maximal wall thickness 18 mm) of the left ventricle (LV) with mild flow acceleration in the mid-LV cavity (peak systolic velocity 2.6 m/s) consistent with HOCM (, Movie clips ). There was no systolic anterior movement (SAM) and no mitral regurgitation. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of HOCM with a maximum wall thickness of 19 mm at the midventricular inferoseptal and inferior level . Left ventricle systolic function was hyperdynamic with LVEF of 80%. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging showed an area of patchy LGE at the level of the maximal LV wall thickness . The right ventricle was small for the patients’ age, functioning well, and not hypertrophied. Holter monitoring did not demonstrate significant arrhythmias. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was carried out for functional and prognostic assessment and showed a reduced exercise capacity for his age with a peak oxygen uptake of 28 mL/kg/min (<3rd centile).

In 2007 (when she was 40), her sister was diagnosed with HLRCC having a novel FH mutation at 241,671,938 bp (C574T) by direct sequencing of the FH gene from leukocyte DNA. Her sister subsequently died of HLRC-associated advanced renal cancer. In 2007, sequencing of DNA extracted from blood cells of this patient confirmed that she also had the same FH mutation as her sister . After 2007, we recommended that 13 members of this family with the FH mutation should receive active surveillance by annual imaging (abdominal plain computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography) at a convenient clinic . +Laboratory tests revealed moderate anemia (hemoglobin: 9.3 g/dl) and elevation of serum C-reactive protein (CRP: 3.19, normal < 0.3 mg/dl). Karnofsky performance status (KPS) was 100 %. Plain CT scans obtained at our hospital showed a left renal tumor with a diameter of 7 cm and involvement of multiple regional para-aortic lymph nodes, but no distant metastases (cT3aN1M0) . Positron emission tomography (PET) showed fluorine-18-deoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation in the renal tumor and the metastatic lymph node and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was 15.3 and 7.5, respectively . +Her risk classification for renal cancer was intermediate risk according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) criteria. However, the prognosis of patients with HLRCC-associated renal cancer, in particular those with extrarenal involvement, is extremely poor. Furthermore, her tumors showed a different imaging pattern from that of typical clear cell RCC (Additional file : Figure S1), and the histology of the renal cancers in her relatives was non-clear cell RCC (undifferentiated RCC in her mother, pRCC2 in both her sister and maternal cousin). Thus, the tumor of this patient seemed likely to be non-clear cell carcinoma, but we did not perform needle biopsy to avoid dissemination of cancer cells. +In order to decrease the tumor burden and improve the feasibility of surgery, we selected preoperative treatment with a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). In comparison to first-generation TKIs targeting the VEGFR, axitinib is a potent second-generation inhibitor of VEGFRs with a higher affinity for tyrosine kinase and achieves stronger inhibition of kinase activity with fewer adverse effects such as thrombocytopenia. Additionally, first-generation inhibitors block other targets, such as PDGF receptors (PDGFR), KIT (cluster of differentiation 117: CD117), b-rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF), and Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT-3), which are not substantially inhibited by axitinib. These off-target activities might contribute to the adverse effects of the first-generation inhibitors, suggesting that more specific inhibitors of VEGFR such as axitinib might have an enhanced therapeutic window. We recently successfully treated a patient who had a large right RCC showing sarcomatoid differentiation that directly invaded the duodenum and inferior vena cava with regional lymph node involvement. In this patient, radical right nephrectomy, cavotomy with thrombectomy, and pancreatoduodenectomy were successfully performed after administration of axitinib as first-line neoadjuvant therapy without severe toxicity . +We selected axitinib as preoperative molecular-targeting therapy to decrease the tumor size before surgery with good tolerability. Administration of axitinib starting at 5 mg/day was scheduled for four to six weeks before radical surgery involving left nephrectomy and extended retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (para-aortic and aorto-caval nodes). After 1 week, the dose of axitinib was increased to 14 mg/day. After four weeks of total dose of axitinib of 329 mg (5 mg/day for continuous 7 days and 14 mg/day for following continuous 21 days), there were no apparent adverse events of > grade 3, excluding headache and hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 200 mmHg). Tumor shrinkage and a decrease of SUVmax were observed . Subsequently, we successfully carried out radical left nephrectomy and extended retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (para-aortic and aorto-caval nodes). Macroscopically, the tumor was an invasive whitish-yellowish mass with partial necrosis. Pathological examination confirmed pRCC2 with Fuhrman grade 3 differentiation (pT3apN1M0). The pathological effect of axitinib was grade 2 (i.e., two-thirds necrosis of the tumor). The patient has been receiving axitinib at 5 mg/day in the manner of one cycle of one week (5 days on - 2 days off) as adjuvant therapy for 33 months, and remains well with no evidence of recurrence at 33 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_568_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_568_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f55fb82977c634b482a39ae08e7b2a55fc1d0606 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_568_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 27-year-old man presented with headache and diplopia for three days.

At initial clinical examination, he presented facial phletora, hirsutism, violaceous striae and centripetal obesity, and a CS clinical diagnosis was suspected. Initial examinations identified hypercortisolism and elevation of ACTH . The ACTH increment in the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation test was 14%, suggesting an ectopic ACTH-producing tumour. To confirm this hypothesis, the patient underwent an inferior petrosal sinus sampling with CRH stimulation. The central/peripheral ACTH gradient was less than 2 at 0, 3, 5 and 10 min after desmopressin injection, confirming the ectopic ACTH producing. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the abdomen showed an expansive lesion in the tail of the pancreas measuring 5.0 cm in the largest diameter, multiple small nodules in hepatic segment III and increased volume of both adrenals . In January 2014, he was referred to our institution, the Instituto do Cancer do Estado de Sao Paulo, where he underwent an R0 body-caudal pancreatectomy, splenectomy and removal of the segment III of the liver, which was compatible with PNET, infiltrating the liver tissue. The final diagnosis was of a well-differentiated PNET, with positive immunohistochemistry staining of synaptophysin and chromogranin A, three mitosis/10 high-power fields and Ki67 index of 6%. There was adequate clinical control of DM2 and SAH after resection. In July 2014, a Gallium-68-DOTATATE PET-CT was performed and did not show any measurable metastatic disease. However, in November 2014, he presented hyperglycaemia and high blood pressure again, associated with elevation of both serum cortisol and ACTH, which were resultant from hepatic recurrence with a new lesion of 1.2 cm in segment VI of the liver. Because the patient was quite sick to undergo new hepatic resection due to uncontrolled CS and also because of the short interval from last metastasectomy, new surgical resection was contraindicated. Octreotide LAR 20 mg IM once every 28 days was started but was unsuccessful in controlling symptoms. Subsequent hepatic embolisation did not improve his condition either. Due to uncontrolled CS in February 2015, bilateral adrenalectomy was performed and the CS finally resolved. The pathology report revealed a metastatic neuroendocrine tumour in the left adrenal, with immunohistochemistry staining positive for synaptophysin, chromogranin A positive and ACTH, negative staining for CD56, CDX2 and TTF1 negative and ki67 index of 30%. +After symptom control, the patient was lost to follow up, returning six months with recurrent hyperglycaemia and skin hyperpigmentation; at that time, the elevation of plasma ACTH was identified. A new MRI of the abdomen showed a progression of hepatic metastases. Octreotide LAR was tried again, but there was disease progression after two doses. In October 2015, he received the combination of oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 given on day one and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 (CapOx) orally for 14 days, in a 21-days cycle. At this time, he presented diffuse exuberant hyperpigmented lesions of the skin, mainly in interphalangeal joints and tongue . After two cycles, there was significant improvement in cutaneous hyperpigmentation and the patient was restaged with new CT scans that showed stable disease. Despite good tolerance, the patient requested to stop chemotherapy and he went on chemoholiday.

Auscultation revealed equal bilateral air entry with normal breath sounds. +A chest X-ray was done which revealed a large bulla in the left upper zone. This was followed by a high-resolution CT of the thorax which demonstrated a large avascular, air-filled region occupying the upper half of the left hemithorax, consistent with a large bulla. A diagnosis of iGBE was made. There was compression of surrounding lung. There was no evidence of emphysematous lung disease (paraseptal or centrilobular) in the remainder of both lungs. +Pulmonary function tests showed normal spirometry and diffusion capacity. Lung volumes were not performed. A connective tissue disease blood panel and α1 anti-trypsin level were unremarkable. +She was referred for surgical assessment and a VATS Bullectomy was performed . This was a two-port procedure. The bulla was intentionally ruptured, creating space in the hemithorax. Adhesions within the surrounding structures were divided. The bulla was resected with a small rim of normal tissue. A 24 french drain was sited and the patient was then extubated. She tolerated this procedure well and without complication. At her recent 6-month follow-up, she was doing well and her previously described symptoms had completely resolved.

As a result, the right atrium was significantly dilated. +Based on the CT findings, extensive malignancy or infection was suspected, as well as constrictive pericarditis. Examination of bronchial lavage and interventional biopsies failed to provide a definitive diagnosis. Therefore, pleural and pericardial biopsies were obtained by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Dense adhesions and aged hematoma were found, and histopathological examination showed acute and chronic inflammation and fibrous thickening, with no evidence of malignancy. Results of serology testing for fungi, smears for acid-fast bacilli, culture for mycobacteria, and Gram staining were all negative, and white blood cells were rare in the biopsied tissues.

Thalassaemia is the commonest monogenic disease in Sri Lanka . The patient, who is from the Polonnaruwa district in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka gave no history of travel overseas. He had been splenectomized in 2010 and receives monthly blood transfusions. His last transfusion had been on the 21st of April 2021. He developed fever and headache 13 days following the transfusion on 4th May for which he sought treatment from a General Practitioner two days later. He was treated for a viral fever with anti-pyretics and malaria was not suspected nor tested for at this stage of the illness. As the fever did not respond to treatment he was admitted to the General Hospital, Polonnaruwa on the 9th of May 2021 for further investigation and treatment, 18 days after the blood transfusion. As a part of the routine fever surveillance activities carried out in hospitals by the Public Health Field Officer (PHFO) for the AMC, the patient was tested for malaria soon after admission, and was reported positive for P. falciparum by microscopy (parasite density of 51,315/μl with asexual parasites and gametocytes). The diagnosis was also confirmed by polymerase chain reaction testing. +The day after admission, when the malaria diagnosis was confirmed the patient was febrile (37.8 °C), had a blood pressure of 90/60 Hgmm and a normal heart rate. Laboratory investigations revealed a haemoglobin (Hb) of 5.4 mg/dl, WBC count of 31,300/μl and a platelet count of 378,000/mm3. The patient was treated with artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), artemether-lumefantrine, the first-line treatment for P. falciparum malaria in Sri Lanka, for 3 days at the standard recommended dosage under supervision, based on national malaria treatment guidelines . Routine investigations on liver and other functions were performed. +The patient’s clinical condition deteriorated over the first 3 days of treatment. The peripheral blood parasitaemia declined very slowly from a starting density of 51,015 parasites/μl on admission. After 72 h of commencement of anti-malarial treatment the parasitaemia was 7147 parasites/μl, blood pressure remained below normal at 90/50 mmHg, haemoglobin (Hb) level fell to 7.6 mg/dl and the WBC count was 47,430/mm3. He still had irregular spikes of fever. The liver enzymes increased (AST from 86.5 U/L to 250.8 U/L and to 458.9 U/L; and ALT from 62 U/L to 174.3 U/L and 314.9 U/L) over 3 days. Serum C-Reactive Protein was elevated above 100 mg/L. The patient was managed with intravenous inotropes (noradrenalin) because of the poor response of blood pressure to fluid therapy. With parasites persisting in peripheral blood on completion of the ACT course at 72 h, and deterioration of the patient’s clinical condition, further anti-malarial treatment options were considered. The second-line anti-malarial medicine in Sri Lanka, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHAPPQ) could not be used in this patient because it is contraindicated in cardiomyopathies which the patient suffered from. Treatment with the next option, intravenous artesunate 2.4 mg/kg was, therefore, commenced immediately (i.e. 72 h after starting anti-malarials) and given for a further 3 days while the patient was managed in the Coronary Care Unit of the hospital. Following the last dose of IV artesunate, he was started on a 3-day course of oral artemether-lumefantrine as the recommended practice after parenteral artesunate. By day seven of commencement of treatment, asexual malaria parasites were no longer seen in blood smears, but gametocytes (sexual stages) were present at a density of 270/μl. The patient had improved clinically by then and had a stable blood pressure after withdrawal of inotropes, and liver function test had returned to normal levels (AST- 48.7 U/L and ALT- 25.5 U/L). The gametocyte count decreased gradually to 152 parasites/µl on completion of oral ACT on day 9. A stat dose of primaquine (0.75 mg/ kg−3 tablets) was given on day 10 for its anti-gametocyte activity. The patient was completely cleared of parasites including gametocytes by day 15.

The donor was a member of the armed forces who had returned to Sri Lanka on the 9th of December 2020 after spending 16 months in South Sudan on a United Nations peacekeeping mission. He was also traced in the AMC database as a person who was being kept under surveillance. While in South Sudan he had taken mefloquine and doxycycline as antimalarial prophylaxis, but reportedly, not on a regular basis. As per guidelines of the AMC, and through the close collaboration that exists with the armed forces, their members arriving from malaria endemic countries are screened for malaria by microscopy and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) at the airport, or, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, at COVID quarantine centers where they are kept for 14 days. The first malaria screening of the group of 51 armed forces personnel of whom the blood donor was one, was performed at the airport on the 9th of December 2020 and he and the rest of the group were reported as negative for malaria by microscopy and RDT. He was asymptomatic on arrival and gave no history of malaria while in South Sudan. He had donated blood four months after his return, on the 9th of April 2021 and this blood donation was used on the beta thalassaemia patient. Prior to transfusion the blood product was screened for malaria by microscopy as a routine procedure but was reported as negative. However, when the stored blood smear was examined retrospectively after the incident of transfusion-malaria, it showed P. falciparum parasites (asexual parasites—112 parasites/μl, gametocytes—32 parasites/μl). On testing the asymptomatic donor for malaria on 10th May 2021, soon after the recipient was diagnosed, he was found to be positive for malaria by microscopy at a very low density of 32 parasites/ μl with ring and gametocyte stages of P. falciparum. On admission his Hb was 15.2 g/dl. He was admitted to the same hospital ward as the blood recipient a day later, and was treated with an oral ACT artemether-lumefantrine and a single dose of primaquine .

Primary and secondary case surveillance was carried out covering all residents of houses within a radius of 1 km of residencies of both the recipient and the donor . A total of two hundred persons were screened by microscopy and were found negative for malaria. The blood donor had 51 travel contacts in the armed forces group which had returned with him from South Sudan who were screened by microscopy, and they all reported negative for malaria. +Entomological surveillance was conducted within a radius of 1 km of the residence of the blood recipient. With the reporting of larvae of Anopheles culicifacies, the primary vector of malaria in Sri Lanka, larval source management, space spraying and distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were carried out. Entomological surveillance was also carried out around all sites where, the blood donor had stayed night over the past 14 days from blood donation up to diagnosis, and larvae of primary vector was found in two locations.

There were no intermenstrual or postictal bleedings, and her menses, which last 3–5 days, occur every 28–30 days. +She has had normal menses for the six years following the delivery, but she has not been able to conceive. She was examined for infertility at a private clinic, where she was informed of normal results from hormonal (LH, FSH) and abdominopelvic ultrasound studies. She experienced a mass-like sensation in the vagina, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding 2 months before presenting to our hospital. She was diagnosed with AUB (abnormal uterine bleeding) after being investigated with a CBC (complete blood count), which showed moderate anemia, at a local health center. Despite being given iron tablets and a combined oral contraceptive, her symptoms had not improved. In addition, she had no family history of bleeding diathesis, diabetes, heart disease, or any previous gynecological procedures. +Upon admission, the patient appeared pale and acutely sick, with vital signs showing a pulse rate of 112 beats per min and a blood pressure (BP) of 90/60 mmHg. On physical examination, she had pale conjunctiva and a soft and non-tender abdomen. PV examination showed there was a rubbery mass protruding through the cervical OS, which made it difficult to pass the examining finger through the cervical rim. +On investigation, her hemoglobin and hematocrit were 3.9 g/dl and 12%, respectively. Pelvic ultrasound revealed the uterine fundus to be on cervical OS, as depicted in Fig. , pointing towards the diagnosis of uterine inversion. There were no tumors or fibroids on the pelvic ultrasound. +After transfusing 3 units of whole blood, the patient was prepared for surgery, and the first step was to try to manually return the fundus into the uterine cavity, which yielded no success. Under general anesthesia, the abdomen was opened by a Pfannenstiel incision, where a typical flower vase appearance with fundal cupping of the uterus and inward pulling of the tubes and ovaries was seen as in Fig. . Hence, confirming the diagnosis of uterine inversion. The uterus was held at the level of the bilateral round ligaments, and a vertical incision was made to the posterior wall at the point of the constrictor ring. Finally, the uterus was gently lifted upward and repositioned as depicted in Fig. , and the normal anatomy of the pelvic organs was restored by Haultain’s technique. Apart from the inversion, there were no masses or abnormal findings on the uterus. +Our patient’s post-operative period was uneventful, with no complications and stable observations. Investigations (a renal function test and a liver function test) done after the surgery were within the normal range. Upon correction of the post-operative hemoglobin and hematocrit to 10 g/dl and 29%, respectively, she was discharged with iron tablets and advised on the next delivery. In addition to being given a subdermal implant, we stressed the need to deliver the next child by elective cesarean delivery. At her follow-up visit at 4 weeks, the patient was well, with normal vital signs and no bleeding. On a subsequent visit in the third month, the patient reported no new complaints, and menstrual flow was normalized. +The patient returned 16 months after the procedure and informed us of her desire to conceive. Upon removal of the contraceptive, we advised her to adhere to strict follow-up. She conceived 4 months later, and her follow-up antenatal care was uneventful. At 37 weeks, the patient started to have labor pains and was unable to reach a hospital in time. By the time the ambulance arrived at her home, she was in the second stage of labor and had delivered via spontaneous vaginal delivery on the way to a health facility. The placenta was removed carefully by a midwife once she arrived at the hospital, and there was no excessive bleeding or derangement of the vital signs. Abdominal ultrasound, performed in the immediate postpartum period and on subsequent follow-up after 3 months, showed the uterus in its normal position. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_822_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_822_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1e26afbb945b61eb7598a677aabb136c905c1326 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_822_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 69-year-old woman presented with pericardial discomfort and was subsequently diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

The patient recovered well and was discharged, with advice for regular follow-up. Three months ago, the results of a positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan suggested lymphoma recurrence, and the patient was transferred to our institution with an indwelling central venous catheter (CVC) catheter that had been inserted 3 months earlier for administration of chemotherapy. After 3 days of chemotherapy with etoposide, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, the results of clinical laboratory tests revealed myelosuppression, with white cell count of 0.11 × 109/L, hemoglobin of 4.0 g/dL, and platelet count of 8 × 109/L.

A physical examination revealed no specific signs of infections or skin manifestations. Two sets of blood cultures, one from a peripheral vein and the other through the CVC (each 10 ml in volume), were collected and sent to the laboratory for examination. The patient was started on empirical antimicrobial therapy with imipenem. +The blood culture drawn through the CVC was first flagged as positive by a BACTEC™ FX instrument (Becton, Dickinson and Company, USA) after 38 h of incubation in an aerobic bottle. After 61 h of culture in an aerobic bottle, the peripheral blood culture also became positive. Direct microscopic examination based on Gram staining revealed the presence of nonsporulating beaded Gram-positive bacilli. Subcultured blood specimens were plated on sheep blood agar and MacConkey agar. On the sheep blood agar incubated at 35 °C in an aerobic environment with 5% CO2, small white colonies became evident within 24 h. After 3 days of incubation, the colonies became mucoid, and the colonies turned yellow-orange. The bacteria were positive for catalase, negative for cytochrome oxidase activity, nonmotile, and unable to grow anaerobically. +Bacterial identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the obtained protein profiles were processed and analyzed by MALDI Biotyper 3.0 software (Bruker Daltonics, Germany).

Nevertheless, the isolate was identified as a Gordonia species, with a top match score of 1.764 (for Gordonia rubripertincta; scores of ≥2.0 and <2.0 to ≥1.7 represent identification to the species level and genus level, respectively), suggesting it did not resemble any known Gordonia species in the database. +Thereafter, bacterial DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and DNA sequencing of the 16S rRNA with a universal primer pair were conducted to confirm the results. The obtained product sequence (1404 bp) was compared with published sequences in the GenBank database . The results showed that the isolate had 99% matches with the type strains of G. polyisoprenivorans (strains W8130 and VH2), Gordonia bronchialis (strain DSM 43247), and Gordonia terrae (strain EY-T12). Sequencing of the gyrB genes was then performed according to a previous report .

Based on the preoperative CT findings, a pericardial or an epicardial cyst was suspected. Additionally, attachment of the cyst to the left atrium, left ventricle, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein was suspected . Compression of the left atrium and ventricle was considered to be the cause of her symptoms. Her hemodynamic condition was stable. Percutaneous cystocentesis was performed, and 800 ml of serous liquid was aspirated. However, 1 week after cystocentesis, the cyst recurred, and its size was the same as that before the procedure. Therefore, resection was planned. +If the cyst was an epicardial cyst, tight adhesion of the cyst to the left atrium, left ventricle, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein was considered possible. However, we believed that the cyst was more likely a pericardial cyst because a pericardial cyst is more common than an epicardial cyst. Therefore, resection involving video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was planned initially. However, the pericardium was intact and an epicardial cyst was diagnosed intraoperatively. As preoperative CT showed compression of the left atrium, ventricle, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein, adhesion was suspected. Additionally, the possibility of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was considered. Therefore, open surgery through median sternotomy was performed. The cyst was found to be attached to the visceral pericardium involving the left atrium and pulmonary artery. Contrary to our expectation, the left ventricle was not involved. Additionally, coronary vessels were not involved. The cyst was most tightly attached to the main pulmonary artery. Thus, it was thought to have originated from the pulmonary artery . The content fluid was aspirated via direct puncture, and a heart positioner was used to provide sufficient traction to the right side, with several sutures placed on the cyst wall, so that the back of the heart and the pulmonary artery could be observed.

He was retired from working in corporate management, and family history was significant for lung cancer in his father and breast cancer in a sister. Comorbid illnesses included gastrointestinal reflux disease, for which he took ranitidine 150 mg daily and omeprazole 20 mg daily; hypertension, for which he took lisinopril 12.5 mg daily; hyperlipidemia, for which he took atorvastatin 20 mg daily; and seasonal allergies and asthma, for which he took montelukast 150 mg daily and loratadine 10 mg daily. He was also using naproxen and cannabis for cancer-related pain at time of presentation. He was a lifelong non-smoker and did not drink alcohol to excess. He first noticed his right neck mass while shaving 3 months prior to presentation. He reported some mild pain with swallowing, weight loss of unknown amount, right neck sensitivity to light touch, increased hoarseness, and a raspy voice. He was initially diagnosed by his primary care physician as having lymphadenopathy secondary to a sinus infection and received two rounds of antibiotics. The mass failed to improve and, as a result, a fine needle aspiration of the lesion was performed. Evaluation of the biopsy material demonstrated dysmorphic cells containing cytoplasmic keratin, which stained positively for CK5/6, consistent with a squamous cell carcinoma. Monoclonal PAX-8 (Biocare Medical, BC12) staining was also focally positive . Subsequent laryngoscopy revealed no mucosal lesions, but right vocal cord paralysis was observed. A CT of the neck with contrast revealed a 4.8 cm peripherally enhancing hypodense mass with central necrosis lateral to the right hyoid bone, emanating from the thyroid gland . Multiple smaller nodular lesions within the prevertebral space, right paraesophageal region, and superior mediastinum were also identified. A staging PET scan showed a hypermetabolic right thyroid lobe with extensive conglomerate pathologic adenopathy at the right cervical lymph node chain, extending inferior to the right thoracic inlet, as well as a left retropharyngeal hypermetabolic lymph node, but no evidence of distant metastasis . On initial physical and neurologic examination, the oncology team noted a large, firm, fixed right medial neck mass without overlying skin changes, and a normal cranial nerve exam. +The patient’s case was discussed at the head and neck multidisciplinary tumor board, with a consensus opinion that this squamous cell carcinoma was indeed of thyroid origin. Extensive surgical resection including a laryngectomy, thyroidectomy, and reconstruction followed by adjuvant chemoradiation as a potential curative course was recommended. However, due to the morbidity and lifestyle implications associated with surgery, the patient declined surgery and instead chose to pursue concurrent chemoradiation with weekly chemotherapy. +Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was used to treat the right thyroid mass to 70 Gy in 35 fractions at 200 cGy per fraction, as well as bilateral retropharyngeal nodes cervical neck nodal levels IB, II, III, IV, and V to 63 Gy in 35 fractions at 180 cGy per fraction . The patient completed radiation with weekly concurrent carboplatin-paclitaxel over 7 weeks. During treatment, he developed grade 2 fatigue, grade 2 mucositis, grade 2 dermatitis, grade 3 dysphagia, and grade 3 dry mouth with thickened secretions with excessive mucus. The skin desquamation was treated with silver sulfadiazine and mineral oil-hydrophil petrolat. A percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube was placed during the first week of treatment due to nutrition and oral intake difficulties at baseline, and the patient lost less than 15 lbs throughout the treatment. Long-term toxicity was significant for chronic xerostomia and dysphagia, requiring a permanent gastrostomy tube. He also developed treatment-related hypothyroidism and was started on levothyroxine approximately 3 months after completion of treatment, when his thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was found to have gone up from 1.63 (baseline, normal) to 21 mIU/mL (elevated). +After receiving concurrent chemoradiation, the patient underwent two additional cycles of high-dose carboplatin–paclitaxel every 3 weeks. Follow-up imaging after concurrent chemoradiation suggested a partial therapeutic response. PET (18-fluorodeoxyglucose/18-FDG)/CT of the neck demonstrated that the thyroid mass had decreased in size from 5.0 × 5.2 cm, with maximum standardized uptake values (SUV) of 35.3, to 3.8 × 2.1 cm, with maximum SUV of 19.4 . This was also apparent on physical examination, where the tumor was smaller, softer, and less tender to palpation. The right and left neck lymph nodes were also notably smaller and demonstrated less PET-avidity. Imaging of the chest, however, revealed pulmonary metastases up to 9 mm in size, as well as multiple bilateral hypermetabolic nodules . +In light of the new pulmonary metastatic disease, additional systemic chemotherapy with carboplatin–paclitaxel was recommended to the patient. However, he opted for immunotherapy instead due to previous chemotherapy side effects and subsequently completed nine cycles of pembrolizumab. Imaging studies obtained after the third cycle of pembrolizumab demonstrated an interval decrease in the size of multiple pulmonary nodules bilaterally, suggesting a positive response to therapy . At the same time, however, a CT scan demonstrated an increase in the size of the thyroid mass . Additionally, new encasement of the distal common carotid artery, carotid bifurcation, and proximal internal carotid artery was present, and erosion of the thyroid cartilage was also identified. After the sixth cycle of pembrolizumab, imaging continued to demonstrate enlargement of the thyroid mass with increased extension to the tracheoesophageal groove, while the pulmonary nodules continued to get smaller . Following the ninth cycle of pembrolizumab, the thyroid mass had continued to enlarge, eroding the thyroid and cricoid cartilages, extending into the paraglottic space, and invading the cervical esophagus. No new or worsening pulmonary metastatic disease was identified at this time . The tenth cycle of pembrolizumab was halted due to leukocytosis (WBC 21.81 and ANC 19.05) and the patient’s desire to pursue supportive care. Fifteen months after his initial diagnosis, the patient was transitioned to comfort care and died 3 months later. Autopsy was not performed as the patient’s desire was to donate his body to science. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_940_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_940_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e7fc1e3326d1bb8553f0f418a96f48c8a6686058 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_940_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +A 43-year-old Chinese man, who complained of shortness of breath on exertion for 7 d and a 13-year history of peripheral blood eosinophilia, was admitted to our hospital. +The patient was treated at a local hospital in August 2005 because routine blood examination showed a white blood cell count of 8.5 × 109/L, with 24.2% of eosinophils (2 × 109/L).

Postoperative pathology examination disclosed male breast development and severe chronic inflammation (i.e., dilatation of mammary ducts with interstitial influx of eosinophils) . +One month later, the patient presented with joint pain of the trunk and limbs, movement dysfunction, and an exacerbated skin rash. Dexamethasone and prednisone were prescribed. An herbal extract (Tripterygium wilfordii) was also used shortly and then abandoned due to severe treatment-related alopecia. Thereafter, the joint symptoms gradually relented, allowing the patient to resume work. In April 2017, however, bilateral lower extremity edema developed spontaneously (blood pressure, 150/100 mmHg; plasma albumin, 15.6 g/L; low-density lipoproteins, 6.87 mmol/L; and 24-h urinary protein, 14.78 g/d), prompting a clinical diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. A kidney biopsy was performed, establishing a pathologic diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, non-specific type . A second bone marrow puncture again was indicative of eosinophilia, but qualitative polymerase chain reaction failed to detect the FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene. The patient was given prednisone orally at an initial dose of 60 mg (12 tablets) per day. This was gradually reduced and discontinued in March 2018, at which time all parameters of nephrotic syndrome were stable. +One month after medication withdrawal, hospital readmission was brought on by shortness of breath (April 2018). +He initially presented in December 2004 with constipation, abdominal distension, and persistent vomiting. Gastroscopic inspection revealed superficial gastritis, duodenal bulbar inflammation, and gastric retention. Enteroscopy was then performed, showing rectosigmoid mucositis. Interstitial inflammatory infiltrates were prominent in gastric and colonic mucosal biopsies. After symptomatic treatment, the digestive symptoms gradually abated and disappeared. Several months later, the patient developed an erythematous papular skin rash and vitiligo. The rash coalesced in places but was largely confined to the dorsa of hands and limbs in a symmetric distribution, without itching.

The duration of his diabetes was 35 years, during which he had normal renal function, no hematuria, stable microalbuminuria, and no other diabetic complications. Pre-transplant tests revealed neither HLA antibodies nor positive EBV serology, with negative CMV serology, normal cardiovascular exploration, and hepatic morphology. Since he did experience recurrent severe hypoglycemic episodes, the patient was included in the TRIMECO trial . In this trial, the patient received two pancreatic islet allografts using a percutaneous transhepatic portal approach over a 3-month period, without any immediate complications. Immunosuppressive induction for the first procedure included anti-thymocyte globulin (Thymoglobulin®, Sanofi Genzyme) at 0.5–1.5 mg/Kg/day for the first 3 days and anti-TNF-alpha etanercept (Enbrel®, AMGEN) on Day 0, which was decreased to 25 mg on Days 3, 7, and 10. Maintenance immunosuppression was conducted using 1000 mg of mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept®, Genentech) twice a day and a CNI, tacrolimus (Prograf®, Astellas), twice a day, depending on the residual plasma levels (objectives: 9–13 μg/L for the first 3 months, then 6–9 μg/L thereafter). Induction for the second procedure consisted of 20 mg of the interleukin 2-receptor antagonist basiliximab (Simulect®, Novartis) on Days 0 and 4, along with etanercept. The total number of islets that were injected was 950,000 IEQ (islet equivalents to 150 pancreatic islet diameter). Two months after the second procedure, the patient became insulin-independent with a fasting C-peptide level of 2.3 μg/L (0.77 nmol/L), fasting glycemia of 5.7 mmol/L, and HbA1c of 5.1% (32 mmol/mol). This resulted in the disappearance of his hypoglycemic episodes. About 4 and 8 months after the second procedure, the patient was hospitalized due to recurrent watery diarrhea with Stage 1 acute kidney injury (AKI) , without any signs of hematological TMA. All microbiological explorations (bacterial, virologic, and parasitological in blood and feces) were negative, and kidney function returned to the normal range after intravenous hydration. This digestive episode was possibly linked to an undesirable effect of either mycophenolate mofetil or tacrolimus. However, these drugs were not discontinued. +About 15 months after the second procedure, the patient was readmitted to hospital for Stage 3 AKI and high blood pressure (200/100 mmHg). All blood and urine analysis results are presented in Table . The renal ultrasonography was normal, and the association of mechanical hemolytic anemia–thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure led us to suspect aHUS . A hemodialysis session was initiated, along with plasma exchange (PEX; 60 mL/Kg) for 11 days. At this time, the first hypothesis established was direct endothelial toxicity due to overdosing of tacrolimus, in the context of dehydration from recurrent watery diarrhea, given that the trough tacrolimus level was at the upper limit of recommended targets. Since the suspicion was AKI/HUS induced by tacrolimus, the patient was first switched to ciclosporin (Neoral®, Novartis). He was subsequently switched to everolimus (Certican®, Novartis, anti m-TOR) after histological analysis of the renal biopsy results favored a typical TMA process . The poor response to PEX and low C3 level led us to suspect aHUS, so eculizumab (Soliris®, ALEXION) was initiated. Eculizumab was started 18 days after AKI was diagnosed, at a weekly dose of 900 mg for the first 4 weeks. Thereafter, therapy was maintained at 1200 mg per week for a further 2 months . At the same time, everolimus was similarly switched to cyclosporine. Although the thrombocytopenia resolved after 8 days of PEX, eculizumab administration was not followed by a recovery of renal function. During AKI, the islet graft remained functional. Despite the patient’s C-peptide level remaining uninterpretable in AKI, external insulin therapy was not deemed necessary to maintain normoglycemia. +After receiving the patient’s written informed consent, blood samples were taken to screen for the six genes associated with aHUS. A rare nucleotide change (c.1775G > A) was detected in exon 14 of the C3 gene, resulting in an arginine-to-glutamine substitution in the C3 protein at position 570 (p.R592Q). This heterozygous variant, which has already been reported in patients diagnosed with aHUS , is an exposed amino acid located near the membrane cofactor protein (MCP) binding site. Functional analysis using a recombinant protein demonstrated decreased binding of the C3 variant with MCP, compared to the wild type, as well as a reduced rate of C3 cleavage by Factor I with MCP as the cofactor. This variant led to an indirect function gain, relative to complement activation, which explains the permanently low level of C3 in the patient’s plasma that was observed . Genetic evaluations that were conducted on two sisters revealed the same C3 gene mutation, which contraindicated a related living kidney donation. +The 40-year-old male patient eventually spent 1 year on hemodialysis treatment before undergoing brain-dead-donor kidney transplantation. There was no evidence for HLA immunization prior to transplantation, and preoperative HLA scoring identified four mismatches in HLA Class I, with none in HLA Class II. Cold ischemia time was 16 h. Immunosuppressive induction included basiliximab (Simulect®, Novartis), and eculizumab was continued at a dosage of 900 mg on Days 0, 1, 8, and 15, and then every other week at a dosage of 1200 mg to prevent aHUS relapse. Evidence of hematological TMA was absent in the immediate kidney transplantation follow-up. After kidney transplantation, the immunosuppressive regimen was modified to cyclosporine and mycophenolic acid (Myfortic®, Novartis). Three months after kidney transplantation, renal and pancreatic islet functions were considered excellent, with plasma creatinine levels at 94 μmol/L (1.06 mg/dL) and an HbA1c level of 5.5% (36.5 mmol/mol), without insulin therapy. Kidney function remained satisfactory 12 months after renal transplantation, with a plasma creatinine level of 87 μmol/L (1.0 mg/dL) without TMA lesions at the per-protocol kidney biopsy. Four years after renal transplantation, the patient is still treated with eculizumab, his plasma creatinine is 99 μmol/L, his low C3 level persists, and his pancreatic islet function is satisfactory. He has been insulin free for 5 years.

Clinical history revealed an episode of sudden, profound, painless diminution of vision in the same eye that had occurred 18 months earlier in December 2020. At the time of that episode, visual acuity in the left eye was as low as hand motion, but gradually improved over a period of 4 months to reach 3/60. However, after that initial partial improvement, visual acuity in the left eye progressively deteriorated from 3/60 to become 1/60 at the time of presentation. Through medical history and earlier investigations i.e. FFA, SD-OCT macula , we concluded that the episode of acute drop of vision in the left eye was caused by left CRAO for which the patient had undergone an extensive systemic workup that established a diagnosis of SLE according to EULAR/ARC criteria with positive ANA, positive anti-Cardiolipin Ab, positive beta2 Glycoprotein Ab, fever, thrombocytopenia and non-cicatricial alopecia . The rheumatologist prescribed the patient HCQ at a dose of 400 mg/day which is equivalent to 5.3 mg/kg/day (slightly above the recommended daily dose of 5 mg/kg/day by the AAO revised guidelines 2016) and oral steroids with varying doses throughout the course of treatment ranging between 20 and 60 mg/day. At the time of presentation, ophthalmological examination revealed BCVA 6/6 OD and 1/60 OS, unremarkable anterior segment examination, right normal fundus, left bull's eye maculopathy and temporal optic disc pallor with attenuated retinal vessels .SD-OCT macula was performed which revealed foveal and parafoveal outer retinal defects involving the RPE, ELM, IS/OS as well as intraretinal degenerative cysts and generalized thinning and atrophy of the neurosensory retina in the left eye while the right eye was normal . Therefore, a diagnosis of left advanced HCQ maculopathy was made after exclusion of other possible causes of unilateral bull's eye maculopathy e.g. resolved unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM), subretinal fibrosis and uveitis syndrome (SFU), asymmetric cone or cone/rod dystrophy, benign concentric annular macular dystrophy, Stargardt's disease and traumatic maculopathy. These causes were excluded because none of them matches the clinical picture of our case for variable reasons e.g. the negative family history and the strictly unilateral involvement with completely normal right eye with BCVA 6/6 and intact color vision, excludes dystrophies. Moreover, the insidious rather than acute onset, the absence of signs of uveitis, the strict monofocal foveal and parafoveal involvement as opposed to multifocality, the regular oval edges of bull's eye rather than irregular pigmented edges, exclude UAIM and SFU as possible etiologies. Furthermore, the negative history of ocular or head trauma excludes traumatic maculopathy. Consequently, a recommendation to stop HCQ was conveyed to the rheumatologist who shifted the patient to Leflunomide.What is atypical about this case is the rather early onset maculopathy which manifested in the advanced form of bull's eye maculopathy after only 16 months of HCQ treatment compared to the reported incidence which is < 1% at 5 years. Another unusual aspect is the strictly unilateral involvement where the left eye shows advanced maculopathy while the right eye is normal. We assume that the early onset monocular HCQ maculopathy may be related to the CRAO that affected the same eye prior to HCQ treatment. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_985_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_985_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..80bea60a2363e2160bfbe0c3a4322cab42cecff9 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_985_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +A 48-year-old caucasian male with an extensive psychiatric history of depression was admitted to the intensive care unit at a local hospital following intoxication of approximately 20 g venlafaxine, 450 mg zolpidem, and 250 mg propiomazine.

She had no history of other medication use for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis was diagnosed both clinically and radiographically . She had no nutritional deficiencies or family history of osteoporosis. She had undergone a hybrid THA because of developmental dysplasia of the right hip in 2006. At our hospital, she received denosumab 60 mg per dose, for a total of six doses. Meanwhile, colon cancer was detected in August 2019, and she underwent endoscopic surgery in September 2019. She also underwent positron emission tomography, which showed no metastasis, after which she underwent regular follow-ups without any anticancer drugs. No regular medications were prescribed for other diseases. She had been generally healthy otherwise. In May 2021, she experienced slight weight-bearing pain in the right hip with no antecedent trauma. Radiographs at the time of THA in 2006 and at the time of denosumab administration for the 1st time in 2018 showed no pathological changes in the femoral shaft around the stem ; however, there was an apparent transverse fracture line with lateral cortical thickening when she felt pain in the right thigh . Computed tomography revealed femoral cortical reactions more clearly . She had not received systemic glucocorticoids and proton-pump inhibitors, which had been listed as drugs that affect the bones in a previous study . A diagnosis of denosumab-associated atypical periprosthetic fracture was made. She underwent revision surgery for conversion to a longer cemented stem . 10 months later, the fracture site healed and she was possible to walk no cane at the latest visit in August 2022. \ No newline at end of file
