She was unconscious on the spot. After treatment, her whole body was numb and limb activity was limited. Half an hour later, she felt numb and weak in the right limb and weak in the left limb. She had no previous hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease. 13 years ago, she developed numbness in her right hand after pregnancy and was diagnosed with congenital fusion of cervical C2-5, which was not treated at that time . Her symptoms had improved and had not interfered with her normal life. There was no diplopia, slurred speech, hiccups, nausea and vomiting, dysphagia, urinary incontinence, and no corresponding symptoms such as facial sensory abnormalities. Physical examination revealed a short neck, limited cervical mobility, and low occipital hairline. Below the C3 level of spinal cord, bounded by the anterior median line, there were different sensory and motor abnormalities from left to right. The patient had decreased pinprick and temperature sensation on the right side and normal pinprick sensation on the left side. Her sense of spatial position was normal. There was increased muscle tone in the right upper and lower limbs and decreased muscle tone in the left upper and lower limbs. The muscle strength of the left upper and lower limbs was 0 out of 5 and the strength of the right upper and lower limbs was 4 out of 5. After conservative treatment, her muscle strength gradually recovered. 10 days later, some of the muscle strength showed changes, and the muscle strength of the key muscle groups was as follows: shrugging shoulder muscle strength (left 2, right4), elbow flexion muscle strength (left 2, right 4), elbow extension muscle strength (left 2, right 4), wrist flexion muscle strength (left 1, right 4). finger flexion muscle strength (left 1, right 4), finger extension muscle strength (left 1, right 3), hip flexion (left 2, right 4), knee extension (left 2, right 4), dorsalis pedis (left 3, right 4), plantarflexion (left 3, right 4), and hyperreflexia of the biceps and triceps tendons bilaterally. Abdominal wall reflexes were present, knee and Achilles tendon reflexes were hyperactive, patellar clonus was positive on the right, patellar clonus was positive on the left, ankle clonus was positive on the right and ankle clonus was positive on the left. The dorsalis pedis artery was palpable bilaterally. The bilateral Hoffman's sign was positive. Babinski's sign was positive and Kernig's sign was positive. The findings of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the neck revealed that small C2-5 vertebral body with partial fusion of the vertebral body; increased anterior atlantoaxial space, posterior superior displacement of the cardinal vertebrae, the narrowing of the spinal canal at the corresponding level and marked compression and thinning of the spinal cord (C1-2 joint instability, discontinuity of the odontoid process, congenital fusion of cervical C2-5). posterior protrusion of the C7-T1 intervertebral disc, with compression of the corresponding dural sac. No significant abnormal signs were seen in the cervical medulla. We considered that the woman sustained BBS because she had previously suffered from KFS, which according to ASIA(American Spinal Injury Association) Impairment Scale was a grade B: incomplete injury. After admission, the woman was given methylcobalamin for neurotropism and tizanidine to reduce muscle tone and received acupuncture and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. After conservative treatment, her spinal cord oedema decreased and the numbness on the right side gradually subsided, but the results were still unsatisfactory so the doctor recommended surgery. She then underwent posterior decompression of the spinal canal, and lateral mass fixation between atlas and axis with screw-plate system . After surgery, her numbness subsided and she continued to receive adenosine cobalamin for neurotropic treatment. She came to our hospital for a check 5 months later after the operation. The numbness of the right limb significantly decreased and the dysfunction of the limbs was slightly better than before. She could sit independently and stand with assistance, but she was still unable to take care of himself. She then underwent regular rehabilitation treatment in our hospital. 18 months later, the numbness of her limbs had disappeared and she was able to take care of herself with assistance, and her condition improved from grade B to grade D according to the ASIA classification. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1026_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1026_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..17fd7709a88bbfd0678f1b4ca0f5a59ff01ba5ba --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1026_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +A 62-year-old Caucasian man presented with symptoms of cough, fever, myalgia and chills.

Laboratory results are shown in Table . Details of affected organ systems, diagnostics and therapies are listed in Table . +A maculo-papular skin rash developed on day 7 after admission. Severe AKI with oliguria (AKIN 3), consecutive fluid overload and metabolic acidosis necessitated initiation of continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) on day 9. Peak creatinine was 519 umol/L, urinalysis showed minimal proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. Proteinuria subsequently increased significantly and microscopic hematuria persisted, urine leucocytes were persistently within the normal range. . +Several days after initiation of CVVHDF (on day 24) the patient developed severe microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, Coombs negative, which was transfusion dependent. Serologic screening was negative for HIV, hepatitis B and C virus infection; anti-nuclear antibodies, anti-DNA antibodies, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, anti-cardiolipin antibodies and complement levels were normal. Eosinophils were initially not significantly elevated. There was no evidence of urinary obstruction or rhabdomyolysis. Echocardiogram showed preserved cardiac function. +Differential diagnosis of the AKI included acute tubular injury (ATI) due to hemodynamic instability; sepsis-associated AKI; ATI with pigmented tubular casts as a consequence of hemolysis; thrombotic microangiopathy - given the ongoing severe hemolysis with schistocytes on peripheral smear (despite lack of overt thrombocytopenia); collapsing glomerulopathy - given the large rise in proteinuria,; and acute interstitial nephritis associated with antibiotics - given concurrent skin rash, although peripheral eosinophilia and leucocyturia were not marked. In the absence of improvement of kidney function a transcutaneous renal biopsy was performed while the patient was proned in ICU, 32 days after admission. +Light microscopy revealed 34 mostly normal glomeruli. Few glomeruli were mildly congested, without thrombi. There was diffuse interstitial edema and focal infiltrates with lymphocytes, histiocytes, rare plasma cells, neutrophils and eosinophils. Multiple non-caseating granulomas mostly consisting of lymphocytes and epithelioid histiocytes were present. There was very mild tubulitis with rare lymphocytes in the tubular epithelium. Many tubules had a dilated lumen, flattened epithelium and loss of brush border. Some had fine, isometric vacuolization of the cytoplasm. Rare lumina contained finely granular, mostly eosinophilic and very rare brownish casts only partially positive for hemoglobin in a few tubules. Some peritubular capillaries contained mononuclear cells, but no erythrocyte aggregation. There was mild arteriolar hyalinosis and arteriosclerosis, but no thrombi or vasculitis. Immunhistochemistry showed only trace IgM, Kappa and Lambda in the mesangium. IgG, IgA, C3 and C1q were negative in the glomeruli. Electron microscopy revealed myelin figures in the cytoplasm of a few parietal epithelia. No definite viral particles were detected. +The biopsy was consistent with granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis, acute tubular injury and regeneration. There was no evidence of renal thrombotic microangiopathy, collapsing glomerulopathy or vasculitis. +Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection as excluded and confirmed by negative cultures of urine and tracheal secretions. Serology for Sjogren’s Syndrome was negative. Sarcoidosis was considered clinically unlikely, despite thoracic lymphadenopathy which was interpreted as consistent with severe SARS Cov2 pneumonia. The ionized calcium levels were normal or low during the ICU stay. Angiotensin converting enzyme and Interleukin-2 levels were however not measured. The biopsy findings could not explain the proteinuria, which was interpreted as a consequence of kidney injury and profound inflammation associated with SARS Cov2 infection. +Given that a medication reaction was a potential cause for kidney biopsy findings as well as for the rash and the hemolysis, a multidisciplinary decision was taken to stop ß-lactams, amiodarone and pantoprazole and to begin methylprednisolone 60 mg daily on day 37 . 47 days after admission urine output began to improve and CVVHDF was discontinued. The hemolysis resolved, the skin rash improved. +On transfer to neurorehabilitation 48 days after admission, the patient was tetraparetic due to critical illness polyneuropathy but alert and able to follow simple commands, he had tracheostomy in place and was breathing spontaneously with little support.

Some fibers also showed structural changes with abnormal material deposits after staining with hematoxylin–eosin . On Gomori trichrome-stained sections, these abnormal deposits appeared as purple inclusions. They varied in size, shape, and thickness, and were either single or multiple . In the NADH-tetrazolium reductase reaction, oxidative activity was reduced in fibrous areas occupied by the inclusions, showing core-like lesions . Neurogenic changes, such as the grouping of angular atrophic fibers, were also present. Immunohistochemical analysis showed prominent FLNC immunoreactive deposits accumulating at subsarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic levels .

A computed tomography (CT) and laboratory studies indicated bronchiectasis in the lower lobe of the left lung associated with allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis. One month later, a sudden and massive hemoptysis prompted an emergency fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), which exhibited substantial bleeding in the left lung and its aspiration into the right lung. A single-lumen endotracheal tube was immediately placed in the right main bronchus to isolate the right lung, followed by mechanical one lung ventilation (OLV). We had to choose a single-lumen tube in the endoscopy room unequipped for emergency airway management. An emergency computed-tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a bulged left bronchial artery, urging BAE. The common trunk of bronchial arteries arose from the thoracic aorta , complicating selective advancement of an embolization catheter. The BAE failed to achieve satisfactory hemostasis. During BAE, oxygenation worsened down to SpO2 40%. A shift to bilateral mechanical ventilation provided a slight amelioration in blood gas analysis at FiO2 0.35; pH 7.37, PaCO2, 35.5 mmHg, PaO2 104 mmHg, HCO3− 20.2 mmol/l, and BE − 4.5 mmol/l. However, we were afraid that severely decreased lung compliance produced by persistent blood afflux in both lungs would hamper sufficient and protective mechanical ventilation. We, thereby, decided to install VV-ECMO using a poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate (PMEA)-coated circuit (Capiox®, TERUMO, Japan) withholding the use of anticoagulants with the setting of pump speed 1500 rpm, pump flow 2 L/min, O2 flow, 2 L/min. The coagulation system examinations following the installation of ECMO were activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) 40 s and serum fibrinogen 158 mg/dl. +Following 2 days, no apparent active bleeding observed let us confine only to performing FOBs for bronchial cleaning, hoping for spontaneous hemostasis. The finding and lowering extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support (FiO2 1.0 to 0.5) suggested possible withdrawal from VV-ECMO despite chest X-rays manifesting atelectasis in the whole left lung . On day 3, however, an FOB found active rebleeding in the lateral and posterior basal bronchi, where thrombin solution was instilled. The single-lumen tube was replaced by a 35-Fr left-sided double-lumen endobronchial tube through which only the right lung was ventilated and the left lung was kept pressurized at a constant airway pressure 10 cmH2O with 100% O2, intending astriction. Notwithstanding the efforts, we thought such conservative means were only palliative and a radical surgical measure should be adopted. In the meantime, ECMO weaning trials were carried out in accordance with the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization guideline , indicating possible weaning. The ECMO was, however, kept operated at the minimal setting, pump speed 1250 rpm, pump flow 1.5 L/min, O2 flow 0.5 L/min, in preparation for surgery-associated worsening of gas exchange and unexpected hemorrhage. Preoperative total amounts of blood products transfused were fresh frozen plasma (FFP) 6 units, packed red cells (PRC) 6 units and platelets 10 units. The preoperative APTT was 42 s and serum fibrinogen 173 mg/dl. +On day 4, resection of the left lower lung lobe was scheduled under inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane while the patient was on ECMO. We were concerned about unstable depth of intravenous anesthesia produced by abrupt changes in hemodynamics and circulation volume. Depth of anesthesia was closely monitored with the bispectral index (BIS®, Medtronic, USA). The VV-ECMO remained well-controlled during the surgery without major cardiovascular or respiratory events. The surgery achieved considerable hemostasis, with the operation duration 3 h 51 min and intraoperative bleeding volume 863 ml. She was transfused with FFP 8 units, PRC 10 units, and platelets 20 units. Postoperative chest X-ray showed good aeration in the resting left upper lung . Bilateral mechanical ventilation presented a marked improvement in gas exchange. However, VV-ECMO still remained operated in the postoperative ICU at the minimal setting since unstable hemodynamics and slowly progressing anemia were sustained. +On day 5, the patient developed a hematoma in the left thoracic wall. An exploratory thoracotomy was performed, achieving hemostasis. Intraoperative bleeding of 2500 ml was compensated by transfusions of FFP 18 units, PRC 12 units and platelets 20 units. Serum fibrinogen was below 100 mg/dl preoperatively but recovered to 132 mg/dl after surgery. For inspection of intravascular emboli formed possibly after prolonged anticoagulation-free ECMO, a postoperative CTA was performed and found, instead, extravasation of contrast medium from intercostal arteries. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) provided a dramatic hemodynamic stability, enabling weaning from VV-ECMO on the same day. Eventually, VV-ECMO was kept operated without anticoagulation for as long as 5 days. On day 6, a CTA detected floating thrombi in the inferior vena cava and bilateral popliteal veins, which required a continuous heparin administration. She was extubated on day 8 and transferred to a general ward on day 9.

Labarotory data revealed WBC of 12,000/µL, Hgb of 7.8 gm/dL and Hct of 25.7, sodium of 127 mmol/L, and chloride of 96 mmol/L. Lactate was normal at 1.5 mmol/L. Initial CT scan showed uterine masses, consistent with known fibroids, and minimal pelvic fluid . +She was initially admitted to the medical service for sepsis. Given her lower abdominal pain, Gynecology was consulted for presumed pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). She was started on empiric antibiotics for PID (ceftriaxone IV 1 g every 24 hours, azithromycin IV 500 mg every 24 hours, and metronidazole IV 500 mg every 8 hours). Blood, urine, and stool cultures were sent upon admission, all of which were negative. +Her pain continued to progress with rising leukocytosis to 20,000/µL. A repeat CT scan on hospital day four showed interval development of ascites . Surgical consultation was obtained, and she was found to have an acute abdomen. She was taken for a diagnostic laparoscopy, which revealed a dense fibrinous exudate and significant ascites in all four quadrants of the abdomen . Multiple peritoneal biopsies were taken, and peritoneal fluid was sent for gram stain, cultures, and cytology. +Postoperatively, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA-125 levels were obtained. CEA was within the normal range, and CA-125 was mildly elevated at 56.8 U/mL (normal 0–35.0 U/mL). Her WBC fluctuated between 15,000 and 25,000/µL. The peritoneal fluid gram stain did not reveal any bacteria. Cytology revealed rare mesothelial cells and abundant neutrophils but no malignant cells. Final pathology report stated the presence of benign fibromembranous tissue with severe acute inflammation and extensive necrosis, consistent with “severe necrotizing acute peritonitis.” +Given the extensive inflammatory reaction, infectious disease was consulted. Group A Strep (GAS) peritonitis was suspected, and recommendations were made to continue ceftriaxone at 1 g IV every 24 hours in addition to one dose of clindamycin 600 mg IV. Azithromycin was added to ceftriaxone three days later (IV 500 mg every 24 hours). A streptolysin O antibody (ASO) titer was sent but came back normal at 61 I U/mL (normal range 0–330 IU/mL), arguing against GAS peritonitis. Ceftriaxone was stopped, and azithromycin was transitioned to oral 500 mg daily. +She continued to have persistent abdominal pain and anorexia. A repeat CT scan obtained nine days after surgery showed peritoneal enhancement and several fluid collections. A diagnostic paracentesis was performed, and the peritoneal fluid was sent to an outside institution for 16S ribosome analysis, to isolate bacterial RNA. +Her abdominal pain and leukocytosis slowly improved. She continued to have severe anorexia and food aversion, despite reassuring physical exam findings. On hospital day 23, she was discharged home on oral azithromycin. Several days after discharge, 16S ribosome testing revealed Mycoplasma hominis RNA within the peritoneal fluid. Her outpatient antibiotic was changed to oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for three months. She was closely followed as an outpatient and gradually demonstrated clinical improvement. She remains well ten months after hospitalization. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1139_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1139_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9f6e5750c5297158f379fc0f63944e01ae2337e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1139_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +An 86-year-old male came to our attention seeking medical treatment for a growing lesion of the lower lip.

She had an extensive past medical history which included SLE, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), as well as previous dissecting right vertebral artery aneurysm and left cerebellar infarction. Her body mass index (BMI) was 18.1. Workup revealed severe anemia requiring an 8-unit red cell transfusion, and subsequent to gynecological examination, endometrial sampling cytology with conventional biopsy revealed Grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma; serum tumor markers were obtained for evaluation and anticipated ongoing management of endometrial cancer; CA-125, CA19-9, and CEA levels were 176 U/mL, 27U/mL, and 1.8 ng/mL, respectively. Given her intravascular hypercoagulability due to ITP, we administered continuous heparin along with methylprednisolone (mPSL) pulse therapy to bring her hematology profile within an acceptable range of tolerability for surgery. The patient’s laboratory results and serologies are summarized in Table . Her medications included prednisolone 20 mg twice a day, candesartan 8 mg daily, amlodipine 5 mg daily, rabeprazole sodium 3 g daily, and 600 μg subcutaneous teriparatide daily. +Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies revealed cancer invasion into the uterine myometrium . On computed tomography (CT) imaging, abnormal masses involving a large segment of multiple encapsulated lymphadenopathies and measuring up to 6 cm were present both in pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes , strongly suggesting retroperitoneal metastases from endometrial cancer. However, positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging showed only slightly abnormal FDG uptake in the lymph nodes (Standardized uptake value (SUV)-Max = 2.1) in comparison with high FDG uptake in the uterus (SUV-Max = 19.1). Eventually, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed for primary staging, avoiding lymph node dissection due to ongoing ITP-related thrombocytopenia. +On the basis of preoperative findings, we initially diagnosed the patient as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIC2 uterine endometrial cancer, with 70 % myometrial invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and metastasis to the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes. The patient subsequently underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (area under the curve, 6). However, no change in size of lymphadenopathy was observed after 3 cycles of chemotherapy. As her overall condition improved, with platelets stabilizing at >80,000/μL, and the patient wishing to avoid radiation therapy due to the considerable complications, we then performed dissection of retroperitoneal (pelvic and para-aortic) lymph nodes. On gross exam, we found well-circumscribed lymph node masses growing along the lymph vessels , which were systematically dissected , and found to have no metastatic involvement or cured remnants of metastatic disease (0 out of 100 lymph nodes), although there was an option to perform intraoperative diagnosis using frozen sections if necessary. Final pathological diagnosis was consistent with LAM arising from the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. +Microscopically, masses was composed of neoplastic smooth muscle leiomyoma-like tumor cells with clear to eosinophillic cytoplasm arranged in alveolar pattern without necrosis , and slit-like vascular channels lined by endothelial cells . Lymph node tumors were focally positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA), caldesmon, Melan A, HMB-45, and estrogen receptor (ER), characteristics suggestive of LAM . Interestingly, re-examination of uterine tissue from the primary operation revealed that regional LAM tissue was co-localized with endometrial cancer with similarly arranged alveolar structure . Unlike normal myometrium smooth muscle cells, immunostaining of smooth muscle cells for HMB-45 and Melan A was positive in the LAM lesions. Moreover, we found that LAM cells had locally invaded into the lymphatic vessels of the myometrium. Taken together, our findings presented herein suggest that LAM initially occurred in uterine smooth muscle, subsequently invading the retroperitoneal lymph nodes by ascending via a lymphogenous route. The patient is currently asymptomatic after the final diagnoses of LAM and endometrial cancer (stage IB), with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis to date. No recurrent enlargement of lymph nodes or pulmonary LAM has been observed on repeat CT imaging. However, she is currently maintained on low dose warfarin therapy for SLE-related intravascular hypercoagulability. Long-term follow-up by both internal medicine and gynecological healthcare providers will continue to be important to correctly diagnose LAM and/or cancer-related diseases. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1155_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1155_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..75d266d68b9ba5352b003508e91e9da91b34437d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1155_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 9-year-old boy was admitted to the paediatric department because of an ongoing headache that had been getting worse in the weeks preceding the hospitalisation. +The headache was the main symptom, it was ongoing and had been getting worse in the past weeks.

She had not been receiving any regular medication and had no known allergies. +The patient resides in a village that is approximately a 45-minute drive from the nearest town. She lives in a two-bedroom corrugated house with her parents and three younger siblings. Her usual diet consists of boiled root crops (such as cassava and taro), local vegetables, and fish. The water source is a spring that supplies the whole village. The family uses a water seal toilet. She gave no history of travel outside her village in 2017. +On examination at the main hospital, the patient looked unwell. Her pulse was 116 beats per minute, blood pressure 114/60 mmHg, respiratory rate 21 breaths per minute, and temperature 38.8 °C. The results of her chest and cardiovascular examinations were normal. Abdominal examination revealed generalized tenderness on light palpation. However, there was no guarding or rebound tenderness, and no mass was palpable. The result of the per rectal examination was normal, as was the remaining examination. +Blood tests revealed a hemoglobin of 9.8 g/dl (normal range [NR] 11.5–18.5 g/dl) and white blood cell count of 14,100 cells/mm3 (NR 4000–11,000 cells/mm3). Two blood cultures revealed no growth after 48 hours. The patient’s full blood count, liver and renal function, and serum electrolyte test results are shown in Table . The results of her chest and abdominal x-ray were normal. +Exploratory laparotomy revealed serosal appendicitis with erythema and abundant fibrinous peritoneal fluid; hence, an appendicectomy was performed. It was noted that the right ovary was enlarged and had ruptured because of pus collection. The right ovary was incised, and pus was drained. This pus was cultured and yielded a pure growth of Salmonella Typhi , which was identified by using Microbact™ 12A/12B identification kits (Oxoid Microbiology Products, Altrincham, UK). This identification was later confirmed by Salmonella-specific antiserum testing (Difco™; Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The antimicrobial sensitivity test was performed using a disk diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar. The organism was susceptible to all tested antibiotics (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, cephalothin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and nalidixic acid). Histopathology of the resected appendix revealed reactive lymphoid follicle in mucosa and acute inflammation on the serosal layer, compatible with periappendicitis. +The patient was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone 1 g twice daily, cloxacillin 1 g four times daily, and metronidazole 500 mg three times daily for 5 days. She made an uneventful recovery and was discharged to home on the sixth postoperative day to complete a further 8 days of oral cotrimoxazole. Patient was reviewed 1 week after her discharge from the hospital. She did not have any complaint; her surgical wound was clean; and there were no remarkable physical findings. The result of her stool culture after completion of treatment was negative for Salmonella. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1245_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1245_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b772cc40547ee28542493de8d15e7e5625fea447 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1245_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +A 24-year-old gentleman with no past medical history had been experiencing debilitating chest pains for 2 years.

His vital signs were as follows: HR of 155 bpm, Bp of 97/50 mmHg, RR of 22 times per minute, and SPO2 of 98%. Twenty-four minutes later, he was admitted to the Emergency Department of our hospital for further treatment. The results of blood gas analysis were as follows: pH, 7.12; carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2), 76 mmHg; oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), 68 mmHg. Bronchoscopy indicated that the right middle lobe bronchus was ruptured. Transthoracic echocardiography ruled out associated blunt cardiac injury. Emergency exploratory thoracotomy and right middle or right middle and lower lobectomy were planned. The patient went into sudden cardiac arrest after being sent to the operating room (SPO2, 76%; end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2), 46 mmHg). Return of spontaneous circulation after twelve minutes of external chest compression. He did not regain consciousness. Mainstem intubation of the left bronchus was performed under direct fibreoptic guidance to ventilate the left lung. With pressure control ventilation, the fraction of inspiration O2 was 100%, peak pressure was 32 cmH2O, and tidal volume was 45 mL; HR was 145 bpm, Bp was 92/48 mmHg (0.05 µg/kg/min norepinephrine), RR was 20 times per minute, and SPO2 was 70%.

Spontaneous sinus rhythm was restored after 18 min. An exploratory thoracotomy was performed successfully; the root of the right middle lobe bronchus was found to be ruptured , as was a branch of the right middle lobe artery. Right middle lobectomy and right middle bronchoplasty were performed. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after the operation. Mechanical ventilation and ECMO were continued, and we adjusted the ventilator parameters as follows: FiO2 at 30%; positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) at 10 cmH2O; respiratory rate at 12 times/minute, and tidal volume at 6 mL/kg. Oxygen saturation was between 98 and 100%. Along with mild hypothermia for brain protection (34-36 °C for 30 h), piperacillin sodium and tazobactam injection for the prevention of infection, methylprednisolone injection (16 mg q12 h) to reduce pulmonary exudation, and norepinephrine 0.15 µg/kg/min to maintain blood pressure were applied.

The procedure planning included the de-sterilization of a Nexplanon® to assess its flexibility. The team decided to perform the removal under bi-planar fluoroscopic guidance, as routinely done in our department for foreign body retrieval. Both right and left anterior obliquities were chosen to ideally expose the contraceptive implant . The procedure was conducted under general anaesthesia. Following a right femoral venous puncture under ultrasound guidance, a long 8F NeuronMax® introducer (Penumbra, Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) was placed under fluoroscopic guidance into the right inferior vena cava. The left pulmonary artery was catheterized using a 5F 145° angled Pigtail catheter (Merit Medical, UT, USA). An angiogram confirmed the position of the contraceptive implant, without thrombosis. After guide exchange with a stiff guide wire (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan), the NeuronMax® catheter was subsequently advanced to the left pulmonary artery, just upstream of the foreign body. A 25-mm diameter loop snare (One Snare®, Merit Medical, UT, USA) was deployed. Once captured, the contraceptive implant was removed under fluoroscopic guidance without removing it into the NeuronMax® catheter. The procedure lasted 60 min. The fluoroscopic dose was 261 mGy, and fluoroscopy time was 10 min. The following day, a thoracic CT scan showed no procedure-related complications, and the patient was discharged.

Therefore oral chemotherapy with the regimen tegafur/uracil (100 mg/224 mg) had been prescribed to him from December 2001 to November 2003, and was ceased due to loss at follow-up. +Physical examination in the ER found no yellowish skin, no icteric sclera but moderate right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal pain. Murphy's sign was positive. Bowel sounds were normal and his abdomen was soft, with no rebounding pain. There was no shifting dullness.

Abdominal echogram revealed a thickened gall bladder wall, gall stones and a suspected tumor mass in the distended gall bladder. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed liver cirrhosis, gall stones, diffusely thickened gall bladder wall with increased contrast enhancement compatible with acute cholecystitis, and a hypodense mass lesion without contrast enhancement in the gall bladder . There was no roentgenographic evidence of a suspected recurrent lesion in the liver parenchyma at that time. +An open cholecystectomy via a right subcostal incision was performed on the next day. A distended gall bladder with multiple pigmented gall stones and a tumor mass, 6.0 × 4.0 × 2.0 cm in size, were found in the gall bladder lumen. When seen, the mass had already detached from the mucosa at the opening of the sac and no stalk could be identified . The mucosal surface of the gall bladder wall was smooth without evident tumorous or ulcerative lesions . +Microscopic pathologic examination of the gall bladder revealed heavy neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration as in ordinary acute and chronic inflammation. The mucosa was congested and showed no evidence of tumor invasion. The vessels in the gall bladder wall were free from tumor emboli . +The sections of the tumor showed extensive infarction necrosis. The viable tumor cells were seen as uniform polygonal cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm arranged in tiled array or microtrabecular pattern mostly surrounding the blood vessels . Immunohistochemistry staining with α-FP antibody demonstrated varied positive staining intensity in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells . Other antibodies including CK7, chromogranin, and synaptophysin were all negative, excluding the possibility of carcinoid tumor or adenocarcinoma. +The patient recovered from the surgery well without major or minor complications and was discharged one week after the surgery. He received regular follow-up in our gastrointestinal (GI) outpatient department and his α-FP levels went down to 3.1 ng/mL in March 2005, and to 3.08 ng/mL in August 2005, five and 10 months after cholecystectomy, respectively.

He was a heavy drinker and had a past history of hospitalization for alcoholic chronic pancreatitis. Laboratory data revealed elevated levels of amylase (245 IU/L), CRP (14.99 mg/dl), and white blood cell count (14900/μL). Plain abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a cystic lesion of 7 cm in size in the lumen near the second part of the duodenum. The cystic lesion showed high density inside. The pancreas was slightly enlarged, and the main pancreatic duct was dilated. Calcifications were seen in the uncus of the pancreas . Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed that the lumen of the duodenum was deformed by a submucosal tumor-like mass and the endoscope could not pass through it . However, active bleeding was not seen in the lumen of the duodenum. A submucosal tumor or hematoma of the duodenum or a pancreatic pseudocyst associated with chronic pancreatitis was suspected. On the fourth day of hospitalization, his hemoglobin level had decreased from 14.0 to 11.1 g/dl. Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated a high-density spot on the wall of the cystic lesion . A pancreatic pseudocyst complicated with intracystic hemorrhage was preliminary considered. Angiography was immediately performed, and a pseudoaneurysm was identified in the branch of the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA) . The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Anemia did not progress after that. Upper gastrointestinal series demonstrated a filling defect in the duodenum, while the inside of the cystic lesion was not contrasted . Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was performed but did not show a communication between the cyst and the pancreatic and biliary ducts.

The cyst was enlarged again, and CT showed that it contained high-density fluid. Recurrence of a pancreatic pseudocyst with intracystic hemorrhage was suspected because of anemia progression. TAE was performed in the branches of the ASPDA and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDA). After TAE, the size of the cyst decreased and symptoms were relieved. However, the same symptoms recurred 2 months later. We obtained informed consent for surgical treatment, and we performed subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (SSPPD). Intraoperatively, severe inflammatory adhesion was noted around the pancreas head and the border between the pancreas and the cystic lesion was unclear. Macroscopically, a cystic mass of 5 cm in size was adjacent to the second part of the duodenum on the pancreas side and was close to the ampulla . A pinhole-sized communication was identified between the cyst and the duodenum lumen. Microscopically, the cyst was filled with mucus and the wall of the cyst was composed of gastric mucosa and shared a common proper muscle layer with the duodenum. Chronic ulcers and erosions were seen in the cyst . Ectopic gastric mucosa was observed in non-ulcerative region . Based on these findings, a diagnosis of duodenal duplication cyst was made.

Immunofluorescence staining showed granular deposition of IgA+++ in the mesangium . No glomeruli were observed by electron microscopy. Silver staining showed shedding of tubule bristles and enhancement of interstitial edema . The pathologic diagnosis was focal hyperplastic IgA nephropathy accompanied by acute tubular interstitial injury (Lee grade III, Oxford grade M1E0S0T1). +Diagnosis of IgA nephropathy is relatively simple based on hematuria, proteinuria, and renal biopsy results; however, renal pathology may not yield a clear diagnosis. In our study, the observed pathological changes associated with IgA nephropathy did not explain the renal dysfunction in our patient.

For example, granular deposition in the cytoplasm of renal tubule epithelial cells was observed using light microscopy . Under electron microscopy, some renal tubular epithelial cells showed degeneration of mitochondria in the cytoplasm. The size of mitochondria varied, the inner and outer membranes were separated, and the cristae became shorter and disappeared . Moreover, lysosome size increased, and some round granules were deposited in the lysosome . Timm’s copper staining revealed some brown to black deposits in some renal tubular epithelial cells . Measurement of copper metabolism further confirmed the diagnosis of WD; lower levels of serum ceruloplasmin (0.02 g/L, normal range: 0.27–0.47 g/L) and increased urinary excretion of copper (260.4 μg/day, normal range: 10–60 g/day) were detected, although normal copper serum levels (12.52 μmol/L, normal range: 7.12–21.29 μmol/L) were also observed. The presence of K–F rings in the patient’s eyes, as observed by slit lamp examination, also supported the diagnosis of WD. To confirm this diagnosis, we also performed DNA sequence analysis and identified two mutations in the ATP7B gene; one was a known pathogenic mutation, whereas the other was a suspected pathogenic mutation . +Finally, the patient was diagnosed with WD. The observed kidney damage was identified as WD-associated renal injury, including renal tubulointerstitial injury and focal proliferative IgA nephropathy.

Additionally, he was prescribed losartan to control proteinuria while monitoring renal function and blood pressure. During the 3-year follow-up, the tremor in his hands disappeared, and his 24-h uric protein level fluctuated from 0.3 to 0.5 g/day. Renal dysfunction was reversed, and Scr was maintained at approximately 110–130 μmol/L. Moreover, 24-h uric cooper dropped from 260.4 to 69 μg.

A CT of the abdomen and pelvis was also performed, revealing a single 15-mm hypodense nodule on the liver . +The patient subsequently underwent a transthoracic right upper lobe biopsy, which showed dense fibrous pleural bits, samples of alveolar parenchyma showing interstitial fibrosis, and a patchy dense lymphocytic infiltrate; no malignant cells were seen on histopathological examination. Next, the patient underwent bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial lymph node sampling, as well as brushing and BAL of the right upper lobe. Most studies were unremarkable except the BAL cytology exhibit, which was positive for poorly differentiated neoplastic cells, raising the possibility of a poorly differentiated carcinoma; however, the material on the cell block was insufficient to run immunostains. As the concern for metastatic disease remained high on our differential diagnosis, we pursued a liver biopsy to better characterize the malignancy. The patient underwent a fluoroscopy-guided liver biopsy of the aforementioned liver nodule, which demonstrated a malignant undifferentiated neoplasm with epithelioid morphology and weak neuroendocrine differentiation. +The cells formed nests/cords in a background of hyalinized sclerotic stroma, frequently demonstrating eosinophilic cytoplasm and round-to-ovoid nuclei . These ancillary studies were insufficient to rule out epithelioid synovial sarcoma, breast malignancy, renal malignancy, thyroid malignancy, gynecologic primary tumors, and epithelioid osteosarcoma. The neoplastic cells were weakly reactive for synaptophysin, and CD99 staining showed a membranous pattern . In a subset, GATA-3 was positive and PAX-8 was weakly positive . However, the neoplastic cells were nonreactive to ER (breast marker) and SATB2 (lower gastrointestinal and osteosarcoma marker). Moreover, the tumor cells were negative for Oscar pankeratin, CK7, CK20, Moc-31, TTF-1, WT-1, HMB45, Melan-A, SOX-10, S100, Inhibin, SMA, MyoD1, CD117, CD45, CD30, and CD34. Thus, the liver tissue was sent for a second opinion for evaluation by a pathologist with expertise in gastrointestinal, liver, soft tissue, and cardiothoracic pathology in a state-of-the-art center at the national and international levels. They found that a specialized panel of immunohistochemical stains revealed that the tumor cells were reactive to MUC4 expression. BRG1 and INI1 immunostains revealed preserved nuclear staining; however, claudin-4, ERG, CD31, CAMTA1, P40, ETV-4, and NUT stains were negative. Subsequently, a diagnosis of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma was concluded. +Based on our diagnostic workup, the patient was promptly started on doxorubicin therapy. The patient ultimately joined a genetic research protocol at a major cancer research center. Next-generation sequencing (Tempus genetic testing) was completed to evaluate for any variant known to increase her risk for cancer. There were no genes identified that would increase her risk for cancer. However, there was an identified variant of unknown significance of the WRN gene, an autosomal recessive gene associated with Werner syndrome (WS). She has not had any clear manifestations of WS other than malignancy and has yet to be assessed for osteoporosis. At 3-month follow-up, she is in the early stages of her treatment course and has tolerated her regimen without issues. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1583_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1583_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..92f7e2c200482db8b45d4ce91181bd46f6f8ebc3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1583_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +An 83-year-old man was brought to our emergency room with 10-day history of fever, severe headache, and difficulty in moving.

Histopathological examination of biopsy specimens revealed the squamous cell carcinoma. Abdominal and chest CT revealed wall thickening in the middle thoracic esophagus without invasion of the adjacent mediastinal organs or mediastinal lymph node metastasis. In addition, CT revealed an azygos lobe in the right thoracic cavity . We planned the esophagectomy for the esophageal cancer after control of the brain abscess. Although intrathoracic adhesions were anticipated on account of a previous history of bacterial pyothorax 14 years ago, we decided to perform esophagectomy via a thoracoscopic approach without any preoperative treatment because of his advanced age. After consulting with the respiratory surgeons, we planned to resect the abnormal azygos vein during esophagectomy. +The patient was placed in the prone position. Due to the adhesions in the thoracic cavity as expected, insertion of the trocars required some ingenuity. We performed dissection of adhesions using a 10-mm flexible scope and obtained an adequate field of view. Trocars were inserted as needed while performing dissection of adhesion, and we finally inserted the four trocars into the right thoracic cavity: three 12-mm trocars into the fifth intercostal space on the posterior axillary line, seventh intercostal space at the midpoint between the inferior scapular angle line and the posterior axillary line, and ninth intercostal space on the level of the inferior scapular angle, and a 5-mm trocar into the sixth intercostal space on the mid-axillary line. Although we usually insert a trocar into the third intercostal space on the mid-axillary line, we could not insert it due to adhesion of upper lobe of the of right lung. Therefore, we performed all surgical procedures via the four trocars. Then, we continued the dissection of remaining adhesion in the thoracic cavity. The middle and lower mediastinum was manipulated first because of the strong adhesions around the esophagus in the middle and lower mediastinum and the tumor's extensive contact with the left main bronchus on preoperative CT . Fortunately, the adhesions were detached without any damage, and the esophagus could be dissected from surrounding organs. Adhesions around the upper esophagus were not severe and fortunately found the azygos lobe easier than expected, and the azygos vein was supported by the mesentery draining into the superior vena cava . It might interfere with forceps operation and the surgical field or pose a risk of injury during esophagectomy, after dividing the mesentery, we clipped and cut the vessel with a vessel-sealing system, and both ends were ligated using the endloop™ . After that, we performed McKeown esophagectomy with dissection for three field lymph nodes including around bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve, as previously described . The operation time for the thoracic part was 325 min, and the blood loss during the thoracic part of the surgery amounted to 29 ml. The postoperative course was uneventful and physical functions that were impaired by the brain abscess recovered well. The patient was discharged on the 21st postoperative day.

Three days later, the back pain worsened and an ambulance was called. When the ambulance crew (including an emergency doctor) arrived at his home, his systolic blood pressure was 50 mm Hg, and the doctor performed portable echocardiography on site. Cardiac tamponade was diagnosed, and pericardiocentesis was performed using a puncture needle via the subxiphoidal approach. After draining ~ 500 ml of bloody pericardial fluid, the patient’s blood pressure immediately increased to 124/98 mm Hg. The patient was transferred to our hospital by helicopter with the outer cannula of the puncture needle placed in the pericardial cavity, and his hemodynamic status was stable at the time of arrival. We immediately started intravenous administration of saline (200 mL/h) to prevent the decrease in blood pressure due to blood loss. Electrocardiogram revealed negative T waves with slight ST elevation in II, III, and aVF leads, and echocardiography revealed severe hypokinesis at the left ventricular inferior wall and a small pericardial effusion. Laboratory tests showed the abnormal values in white blood cell (12.5 × 109/L, reference range, 3.3 to 8.6 × 109/L), C-reactive protein levels (68.5 mg/L, reference range < 1.4 mg/L), creatinine (1.24 mg/dL, reference range, 0.46–0.79 mg/dL), and highly sensitive troponin I (6559 ng/L, reference range < 34.2 ng/L). Creatinine phosphokinase levels (101 IU/L, reference range, 41 to 153 IU/L), hemoglobin (12.3 g/L, reference range, 11.6 to 14.8 g/L), and platelets (254 × 109/L, reference range, 158 to 348 × 109/L) were within reference range. We quickly performed contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest. A small protrusion of contrast media was observed on the inferior wall of the left ventricle, suggesting cardiac rupture due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) . The tip of the outer cannula was confirmed in the pericardial cavity and appeared to reach epicardial adipose tissue around the right ventricle . Emergency coronary angiography was then performed, which confirmed occlusion of the posterior descending branch of the left circumflex coronary artery . Stenotic or occluded lesions were not found in other coronary arteries, and the patient's coronary tree was left side dominant. In addition, extravasation of contrast medium due to Ellis type III coronary artery perforation was observed in the acute marginal branch of the right coronary artery . We considered that coronary artery perforation had occurred as a complication of the pericardial puncture, and we performed transcatheter coil embolization of the perforated branch. A hydrophilic microcatheter (internal diameter, 0.018-in.; MIZUKI standard, KANEKA, Japan) was advanced selectively immediately proximal to the site of leakage in the acute marginal branch. One 0.018-in. and 20-mm-long tapered microcoil (diameter, 2 mm; Hilal, Cook, USA) was quickly released using the microcatheter, and angiography confirmed immediate vessel sealing and hemostasis 170 min after the emergency pericardiocentesis . After the coil embolization, there was no new bloody pericardial effluent and the patient was hemodynamically stable. Therefore, we reduced the rate of intravenous saline administration to 1 mL/kg/h. The total amount of drained bloody pericardial fluid was 610 ml including the first 500 ml. Hemoglobin level decreased to 8.9 g/L, and we performed blood transfusion. The total amount of contrast medium used in contrast-enhanced computed tomography and coronary angiography was 165 ml. Creatinine increased to 1.89 mg/dL 48 h after the use of contrast medium, and the urine volume decreased. Therefore, intravenous administration of saline continued, and then the urine volume gradually increased. Consequently, Intravenous administration of saline had been performed for 7 days. Timeline of clinical presentation and treatment was presented in Table . +Oozing-type cardiac rupture due to AMI was considered as a cause of the cardiac tamponade, but the time of onset of AMI could not be identified, and subsequent blood tests had shown no increase in cardiac enzyme levels. Considering the general condition of the patient, who had dementia and comorbid chronic kidney disease, and the requests of the patient and his family, the patient underwent conservative treatment without cardiac surgery for oozing-type cardiac rupture and any procedure for occlusion of the posterior descending branch of the left circumflex coronary artery. Although the patient made steady progress without a further increase in pericardial effusion after the procedure, the patient needed treatment for a concomitant aspiration pneumonia (from day 3 to day 24 of admission) and rehabilitation for muscle weakness due to protracted bed rest. Finally, the patient was discharged on the 50th day after admission.

At the age of 30, the patient had been diagnosed with non-lesional temporal lobe epilepsy characterized primarily by episodes of tonic–clonic seizures preceded by a sensation of déjà vu. She had been started on carbamazepine at that time with excellent seizure control. Her medical history was positive for hypertension and dyslipidaemia. She also maintained a family history of cardiac disease, unspecified. The patient had not suffered from any seizures or syncopal events until 5 months before her presentation. She complained of ‘unusual’ episodes, witnessed by her husband, of sudden drop attacks with brief loss of consciousness and postural tone associated with urinary incontinence. The syncopal episodes occurred without warning and without an associated trigger. She sustained no significant injuries from her syncopal events. Her clinical examination and biochemical profile on blood work were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head did not reveal evidence of acute changes to explain her presentation. Her carbamazepine dose was escalated in an attempt to control these episodes but failed to result in any improvement. Her antiepileptic medication was then changed from carbamazepine 200 mg p.o. t.i.d. to brivaracetam 75 mg p.o. b.i.d., again with no improvement. The patient underwent a continuous video-electroencephalographic study to characterize these events further. +During observation in the epilepsy unit, the patient was observed to have an episode of sudden of loss of consciousness and urinary incontinence without any tonic–clonic activity or a prominent post-ictal state. Continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring revealed a concurrent episode of asystole lasting ∼20 s, followed by sinus bradycardia at a rate of 20–30 beats/min . There was no evidence of seizure activity on the electroencephalogram (EEG) preceding, during or following this event. The patient recovered and was subsequently admitted to the coronary care unit. On examination, her heart rate was 82 per minute, blood pressure was 128/74 mmHg, 86 kg, body mass index 32.1, and the systems examination was normal. She was recorded to have two episodes of symptomatic Mobitz type I atrioventricular (AV) block. Overall, her findings were consistent with isolated symptomatic bradyarrhythmia rather than ictal bradyarrhythmia or seizures. An echocardiogram was completed, which did not reveal any abnormalities. She underwent the successful implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker. Her device was programmed to AAI-DDD with lower and upper rates of 50–130. Paced AV delay was set to 220 ms, and sensed AV delay 200 ms. Rate drop response was programmed ‘on’ to both low rate and rate drop. At 13-month follow-up, the patient was symptom free with no recurrence of her presenting events. Interrogation of her pacemaker revealed atrial pacing at 15.2% and ventricular pacing at 11%, suggesting a bradyarrhythmia of atrial aetiology. +The patient was maintained on brivaracetam as her antiepileptic and was well tolerated. A decision was made not to switch back to her original anticonvulsant, carbamazepine, despite the non-ictal aetiology of her event. Carbamazepine exerts its therapeutic function through sodium channel blockade and can therefore theoretically affect depolarization currents within cardiomyocytes. Its use has been reported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be associated with AV block. As such, given the patients bradyarrhythmia, she was maintained on the alternative agent. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1734_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1734_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..aa899a11a32d3098ea092cf41e67afd8ff8c2488 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1734_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 75-year-old man with a history of persisting abdominal pain and mild diarrhoea for three months was referred by a general practitioner to the hospital. During this period the patient observed a weight loss of 2 kg, but did not show any B symptoms. A colonoscopy was performed without pathological findings. A subsequent CT examination of the abdomen showed two separate fat-containing retroperitoneal masses one in the adrenal gland and the second lateral of the psoas muscle inferior to the right kidney, outside the peri-renal adipose tissue. The lesions were separate and had no connecting tissue in between them . To further confirm the obtained CT scan results an MR imaging was performed and showed again a fat-containing lesion in the adrenal gland and a 7 × 5 × 7 cm soft tissue-tumour inferior to the right kidney without invasion of the right kidney, urethra or renal vasculature. Both lesions appeared similar in the CT and MR imaging and were consistent with a well-differentiated liposarcoma . Aware of the fact that a liposarcoma of the adrenal gland is extremely rare, a primary benign and fat containing tumour derived from the adrenal gland itself, such as a lipoma or myelolipoma was considered. Regarding tumour markers, only increased levels of CA 19-9 were detected (81.86 U/ml reference < 37 U/ml, CEA 2.2 μg/l, reference < 5 μg/l). To exclude a neuroendocrinological pathology additional tests were performed but did not reveal any noticeable conspicuities. +Consequently, we assumed a combination of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma and a primary benign, lipomatous tumour of the adrenal gland. Alternatively, the very rare case of the combination of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma and an adrenal liposarcoma was taken into consideration. Therefore, two therapeutic options were considered on these accounts. In the unlikely case of simultaneous liposarcomas an enbloc resection including both masses would be required after pre-treatment. But, in the probable situation of a benign lipomatous primary lesion of the adrenal gland in combination with a retroperitoneal liposarcoma an adrenalectomy with an additive biopsy of the infrarenal mass was decided as the strategy of choice in this individual case. +Concerning this strategy a neoadjuvant radiotherapy followed by radical surgery, preventing the kidney, could have been performed as it has been approved as follows. To perform a neoadjuvant therapy a positive biopsy for sarcoma would be a compulsory prerequisite. Prognostic survival markers for retroperitoneal liposarcomas are the histologic subtype and margin of resection . Response rates to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone are less than 10% . Preoperative radiation therapy or combined radio-chemotherapy with consecutive radical resection improves survival [,]. Concerning surgery complete resection of the lesion is to be achieved. Extended resection including contiguous organs without pre-treatment is associated with an increased risk without influence on disease specific survival and is therefore considered to be inappropriate . +According to our described strategy, the patient received a laparotomy. As expected, the adrenal tumour appeared well-encapsulated in accordance with a benign lipomatous tumour. Following the above mentioned second option first an adrenalectomy was performed. The rapid section of the adrenal lesion revealed the result of a myelolipoma. Having in mind that both lesions presented morphologically identical in CT and MR imaging and the assessed intraoperatively analogousness of the masses, we resigned a biopsy of the infrarenal tumour and removed it in toto without the kidney. Once more the rapid section revealed a myelolipoma. The final histology described a 4 cm sized and in weight 46 g well-encapsulated myelolipoma of the adrenal gland. Further a 14 cm sized and in weight 250 g well-encapsulated retroperitoneal myelolipoma was determined, without capsule involvement. Both tumours were composed of predominantly mature adipose tissue with mature myeloid elements, allowing the diagnosis of an extra-adrenal and adrenal myelolipoma. Consequently no other treatment than surgery was indicated and has not been performed in this case. +Postoperatively, the patient's recovery was uneventful and he was subsequently discharged. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1735_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1735_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..924dfdd5255005e3b4100c25e703220f83d850ba --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1735_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 14-year-old female came to our facility with concerns about difficulty in walking owing to weakness in both lower limbs, an erythematous, pruritic rash that covered her face, neck, axilla, elbows, and knees, and photosensitivity that had been present for eight months.

There was no sedative or analgesic administration at any point during pre- or in-hospital care. +Clinically, the patient was deeply comatose-Glasgow Coma Scale 3–with bilaterally dilated pupils unresponsive to light. Complete clinical examination and brain death assessment were performed according to the guidelines of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences . The apnea test was carried out in accordance with previously published data on apnea test and brain death testing in patients under ECLS . The clinical diagnosis of brain death was established 16 h after hospital admission and the parents consented to organ donation. Thyroid hormones, low dose corticosteroids and desmopressin were administered for the organ preservation and diabetes insipidus. +Cardiac assessment for heart donation was made by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Given the young age, coronary angiography was not performed. TTE displayed normal findings with no inotropic or vasoactive support and ECMO flow lowered to 1.5 L / min (Additional file ). Left ventricular function was assessed by measuring the left ventricular outflow tract velocity time-integral (16 cm), visual assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction (60 %) and measurement of the systolic peak velocity of the mitral annulus (TDSa) (> 6 cm/s). Right ventricular function was assessed visually and by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (18 mm). There were no segmental anomalies as well as normal valves. The heart was retrieved 50 h after hospital admission (total ECLS support of 50 h, ECLS support prior to organ assessment 16 h and time from assessment to transplant 34 h). Warm and cold ischemia times were 23 and 202 minutes respectively. The heart was transplanted in an 11-year-old female with anthracyclin-induced cardiomyopathy following treatment for high-grade osteosarcoma of the tibia. The immediate post-operative course was favourable allowing extubation on day 2, she required milrinone but no mechanical support for a total intensive care length of stay of 21 days. The patient was discharged 56 days post transplantation, she is symptom-free at 6-month follow-up with normal cardiac function. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1833_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1833_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ec077d6effa765e4ae126459a96ee45f74c582a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1833_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 47-year-old Asian woman was admitted to our hospital with a 1-year history of worsening leg numbness and urinary dysfunction. She first noticed her bilateral 3rd and 4th toe numbness for 5 years. Her symptoms worsened, and her whole toes became numb a year ago. She had also been experiencing frequent urination for a year. She visited her previous physician and was referred to our hospital after magnetic resonance imaging was taken. On physical examination, her motor function was intact, but she had sensory disturbance around the anal region. Deep tendon reflexes were normal. Her finger–floor distance was 10 cm, and her straight leg raise test result was 80 degrees; this indicated that her hamstrings were not tight. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a low-lying conus medullaris extending to the level of S2 and surrounded by fat tissue at that level . The spinal MRI did not point to any other abnormalities that could explain her symptoms. We diagnosed her condition as adult tethered cord syndrome, and spine-shortening vertebral osteotomy was planned. After the patient provided informed consent, she underwent shortening osteotomy. +After induction of general anesthesia, the patient was positioned onto a Jackson Spinal Table (Mizuho Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Neurophysiological monitoring was performed using motor evoked potentials. A midline incision was made from the T11 to L4 spinous process level. The target level for the osteotomy was L2. The L2 segment was extensively exposed, in turn exposing the posterior element and transverse processes bilaterally. Bilateral pedicle screw implants were placed at L1 and L3 using an anterior–posterior image intensifier. In this procedure, it is essential to use monoaxial screws inserted exactly parallel to the rostral endplates of each vertebral body; this ensures appropriate alignment between the L1 caudal endplate and the L2 osteotomy surface. The osteotomy was started after insertion of the pedicle screws. First, the lower half of the L1 lamina and bilateral inferior articular processes of L1 as well as the bilateral L2 superior articular processes were resected. Second, the upper one-third of the lamina of L2 was resected, and the bilateral two-thirds of the pedicle of L2 was removed with a surgical air drill. Resection of the upper one-third of the lamina of L2 is very important to prevent postoperative neurological deterioration due to epidural hematoma formation. Although bone union can effectively occur without resection of the lamina, the dural space will be so tight that only a small hematoma will be symptomatic. After exposure of the lateral side of the L1–2 disc, discectomy was performed with a knife and curette. Following complete discectomy of L1–2, the upper vertebral body of L2 was removed with a surgical air drill. The surgical air drill was inserted from the pedicle parallel to the upper endplate of L2, and the posterior wall of the vertebral body was thus removed. After thinning of the lateral vertebral cortex, the lateral surface of the vertebral body was carefully exposed, and the lateral cortex was removed with a punch. After thinning of the anterior vertebral cortex, a Kerrison rongeur was used to remove the anterior cortex. Because the anterior longitudinal ligament protects the vessels and anterior organs, little bleeding occurred when the anterior body was removed. After complete removal of the vertebral body, a straight rod was connected to two screws and applied pressure between the screws. Two polyethylene tapes (Alfresa Pharma Corporation, Osaka, Japan) were applied to the L2 lamina and bilateral rods. A drawing of the surgery is shown in Fig. . The operation time was 5 h 13 min, and the estimated blood loss was 108 ml. In this case, there was less degeneration, and the epidural venous plexus was less developed, which may have been the reason for the small amount of blood loss. +The tips and tricks of this procedure are as follows. (1) Carefully develop the sides of the vertebral body and intervertebral disc with hemostasis; (2) use the endplate of the vertebral body as a guide and insert an air tome parallel to the endplate to resect the vertebral body; (3) leave the lateral wall of the vertebral body like an eggshell and complete the resection by resecting the shell at the end. +The postoperative course was uneventful. The postoperative radiograph showed 18-mm shortening from the L1 upper endplate to the L2 lower endplate . The patient’s leg numbness improved immediately after surgery, and her urinary disturbance improved 1 year after surgery, although magnetic resonance imaging did not show evidence of untethering. Computed tomography 1 year after the operation showed complete bone union ; therefore, we removed the instrumentation. She had developed no recurrence at 2 years after surgery. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1834_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1834_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d5a654c9d787ad0a8f2745d27d2e56e9c79a643b --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1834_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 67-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and blood-tinged stool of 1-month's duration.

Therefore, we diagnosed the patient with major depressive disorder and started him on mirtazapine (15 mg/day). On the seventh day, mirtazapine was discontinued due to suspected mirtazapine-induced delirium. Although his anxiety and agitation improved slightly, the patient scored 23/30 points on the Hasegawa Dementia Scale-Revised (HDS-R), with some disorientation and short-term memory impairment.

In addition to the insular cortex, T2-FLAIR also showed a high signal in the hippocampus . On the 13th day, involuntary movements of the left face, tongue biting, and weakness of the right side of the body were observed with no impairment of consciousness; these movements were judged to be a simple partial seizure.

Her ocular background involved chronic angle-closure glaucoma. Four years prior, she underwent trabeculectomy surgery along with cataract phacoemulsification and PCIOL implantation in both eyes. Additionally, she has a medical history of osteoarthritis and an inguinal hernia. Two months post-surgery, the anterior capsule of her left eye contracted rapidly, and Nd: YAG capsulotomy therapy was employed to restore visual acuity. Throughout the follow-up, intraocular pressure in both eyes ranged between 18 and 21 mmHg. +Recently, her right eye’s best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) had been gradually declining and was now 6/20. Clear corneas, typical anterior chambers devoid of cells or flare, and a properly positioned posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) were observed during slit lamp inspection. However, the pupil was only slightly dilated at 3.5 mm. Examination revealed collections of the OS in the right eye trapped between the retro-IOL surface and the hyper-distended posterior capsule in the posterior chamber . Utilizing the IOL master (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM, SW-3200 L, Tianjin), preoperative biometry measured an axial length of 20.66 mm, anterior chamber depth (ACD) of 2.90 mm, and the distance between the PCIOL surface and posterior capsule of 1.96 mm, respectively . No space was observed between the posterior iris surface and the lens-complex interface. According to UBM, a weak echo was reflected following the IOL and posterior capsule, with a dot/cluster echo towards the posterior capsule’s bottom. B-scan ultrasound (Esaote, Genova, Italy) did not reveal any noteworthy abnormalities. Simultaneously, measurements for the left eye indicated a 20/20 BCVA, a 20.31 mm axial length, and a 2.81 mm ACD. Examination of the posterior segments of both eyes revealed nearly normal macular anatomy, with a cup-to-disc ratio of 0.5 in both eyes. Itrace’s visual quality (VQ) analysis indicated that coma and trefoil in the internal eye were the primary causes of blur, double vision, starbursts, and decreased contrast sensitivity. The presence of a trapped OS and a hyper-distended posterior capsule could contribute to confusing low VQ across all indications. All evidence suggested late-onset CBS occurring in her right eye based on the trapped OS and the apparent absence of anterior and/or posterior inflammation. However, Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy therapy was constrained by the small pupil and hyper-distended posterior capsule. +Once permission was granted, the patient underwent local anesthesia for pars plana anterior vitrectomy, pupil reformation, posterior capsulotomy, release of opaque material with an inflammatory cytokine test, and other necessary procedures. Iris hooks assisted in visualizing a roughly 3.5 mm-sized white anterior capsule, though shrinking during surgery, which showed signs of fibrosis around its entire perimeter. No retained cortex was observed, and the posterior capsule remained non-turbid. Using a 23-gauge trocar, a 3.5 mm pars plana port cannula was created from the limbus. Initially, attempts to remove OS from the posterior chamber using a 30-gauge needle were hindered by negative pressure, indicating a sealed area between the posterior capsule and the retro-IOL surface. Subsequently, the posterior capsule was penetrated, and the capsular bag contents were aspirated by a cutter through the super-temporal port, with irrigation closed infra-temporally. For the analysis of inflammatory cytokines, the aspirated fluid was promptly transferred and maintained at a temperature of 4 °C. The remaining anterior capsular, enlarged to a diameter of 6 mm, was released after careful peeling off of the fibrosis anterior capsular ring. The ring material was then fixed for pathology study. A 4 mm diameter posterior capsulotomy was performed in the center using a 23-gauge vitrectomy, followed by a local anterior vitrectomy. Pathological examination of the 3 × 2 mm area and 1 mm thick fibrosis anterior capsular material revealed innocent fibrotic cystic tissue with minor pigment accumulation. Cytokine analysis using a flow cytometer multiple array assay device identified changes in some cytokines, including up-regulation of BFGF, IL-8, and down-regulation of VCAM . +The patient was monitored for 6 months, with a positive postoperative phase and an improvement in BCVA to 20/25. The anterior chamber’s depth increased slightly from 2.90 to 2.95 mm. This procedure also addressed other CBS issues, such as improved pupil function, release of the trapped OS, proper placement of the IOL in the bag, and the absence of aberrant IOL deposits . The absence of visual complaints confirmed the successful treatment of coma and trefoil in the internal eye through Itrace analysis.

Intraoperative exploration revealed that the abdominal wall lesion was located on the anterior wall fascia. +Histopathological observations suggested that hyperplasia of fatty fibrous tissue was visible with cancer infiltration and necrosis around the cancer tissue, which was consistent with trophoblastic tumor, constituted primarily by major epidermoid trophoblastic tumors (approximately 90%) and the remainder by CC components (approximately 10%) on the abdominal wall lesion . Immunohistochemistry showed β-hCG (focal positive), inhibin-α (epithelial trophoblast negative, CC positive), and p63 (epidermoid trophoblast positive, CC positive) . There was no tumor involvement in other tissues, including uterine, left ovarian cyst, and the right inguinal lymph nodes, which indicated an isolated and extrauterine mixed trophoblastic tumor.

Then the skin was shaved and prepared with povidone iodine and draped in a sterile manner. With the L4/L5 intervertebral space as the center, a vertical incision (approximately 4 cm) was made at the level of the left anterior axillary line. The skin and subcutaneous tissue were cut, and the muscle tissue was bluntly separated layer by layer. The peritoneal fat was pushed forward to protect the viscera and other tissues until it touched the psoas muscle. The psoas muscle was pushed backward and the guide needle was placed on the leading edge of the psoas muscle. The expansion cannula was placed step by step, and a fixation screw was placed in the L4/L5 intervertebral space. When placing the self-retaining retractor onto the L4/L5 intervertebral disc, a thread pin, which fixates the retractor through a small hole, went deep into the anterior space of the spinal column. After confirming that the CAGE position was good during the operation, the expansion sleeve was removed, and a large amount of saline was used to rinse the incision. Then double-click electrocoagulation was used to stop the bleeding. It was found that there was a clear liquid flowing out of the peritoneum at the level of the L4/5 segment, and hematuria was found in the catheter . These phenomena indicated that the left ureter may have been damaged. A urinary surgeon was consulted urgently during the operation, and left ureteral injury was definitively diagnosed. Then the patient underwent left ureteral injury exploration and ureteral stent (double pigtail stent, Cook, USI-626-B) placement into the ureter .

Physical examination did not reveal any additional skin or mucosal lesions. The patient’s contact history was unremarkable. The patient’s white blood cell count on the day the pustular lesions were identified were 7100 per cubic millimeter (61.1 % neutrophils, 21.7 % lymphocytes) and a hemoglobin concentration of 14.0 g/dl. Serology was negative for measles virus, varicella zoster, EB-VCA, rubella, and CMV. Pus aspirated from the pustules on December 28 was JX594 positive.

A discussion was held among the heart failure cardiology and cardiac surgery team. Because the LCA did not appear to have an inter-arterial or other malignant course, nor did it appear to have flow limitation or restriction on angiography, the decision was made to pursue transplantation. A heart team was sent to the donor facility, and the heart was accepted and later transplanted (Additional file : Video).

Nerve Conduction velocity (NCV) showed decreased conduction in deep peroneal nerve and stress test was positive. Patient was planned for operation.

Wound was closed and the patient was followed up in outpatient department. Over 9 months of follow up, no recurrence of any symptoms was noted. +Tarsal tunnel corresponds to the carpel tunnel in the limb counterpart. Tight compartments exert pressure over the nerves resulting in the compressive neuropathies. Tarsal tunnel syndrome as the name suggests relates to the tightening of the inferior extensor retinaculum of the foot. It causes compression over the deep peroneal nerve resulting in the spectrum of symptoms. Numerous factors have been described to cause this compression. Intrinsic factors mentioned in the literature are due to osteophytes, ganglionic cysts or lipomas. These factors cause compensatory forefoot valgus leading to subtalar supination and midtarsal inversion leading to the pressure over the nerve. +Distally the nerve is vulnerable to injury due to lack of protective sheath. Extrinsic factors like tight shoe laces or the external trauma can cause injury to the nerve. Edema or fibrosis causes pressure over the nerve and neural ischemia. The relation of nerve with the tendons and the vascular structures is depicted in . The little space in the tunnel formed by the inferior extensor retinaculum and the close proximity of the structures make the nerve vulnerable to compressive neuropathy. In an already small space, any addition to the structure can cause pressure over the nearby structures. The final brunt is to be burnt by the nerve, as happened in our case. +The patient had trivial trauma at the ankle, which can cause thrombosis at the dorsalis pedis artery. Over time, the collaterals had developed to compensate for the dysfunctional arterial segment and to bypass it. Addition of new vessels in the already tight tunnel had resulted in the pressure over the nearby structures, including the nerve. The mixed sensorimotor nature of the deep peroneal nerve leads to both sensory and motor symptoms as in our case. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2310_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2310_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..81789f15a946644875c893ee74f81292bc08b79c --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2310_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 50-year-old Chinese woman accidentally injured her left thumb at 5 pm, while cutting a fish for dinner.

First, the ingrown nail plate was turned up and removed with mosquito forceps. When removing the nail, we need to protect the nail root, which has the nail matrix. Proliferation, keratinization, and forward migration of the nail cells determine the growth of the toenail. We then trimmed the edges of the nail bed and separated the nail bed from the lateral nail fold by cutting through the border of both sides of the embedded segment. We suggest the incision be at least 3-mm-long from the nail root. Too long an incision will affect the nutrient supply to the nail bed, while too short an incision will not adequately correct the ingrown nail. Subsequently, the nail bed was dissected from the phalanx with a scalpel at the edge of the incised nail bed along the nail grooves bilaterally. We made the separation to preserve the nail midline at least 5 mm wide to minimize the disruption of blood circulation to the nail bed. Be careful to maintain the integrity of the nail bed. We turned over the nail bed to expose the sub-bed tissue. After that, the DLAD from Lando, Shenzhen was soaked in saline for 5 min, and the surface silicone layer was removed. The remaining multinull matrix complex composed of depsipeptide-activated collagen and chondroitin sulfate was filled with the subnail bed tissue. There needs to be sufficient filling below the nail bed in both inset nail grooves to bring the nail bed closer to the physiological curvature. It is also vital to ensure that the proper width of the nail groove is retained to allow for nail plate growth. Finally, the nail bed was re-covered back onto the toe bone and checked again to see whether the nail bed was level. The shape of the nail bed determines the shape of the new toenail, and if the nail bed is still ingrown, the pincer nail may recur. Next, the nail bed was resutured with its original corresponding lateral nail crease using 4-0 absorbable sutures to form a new nail groove (avoiding dislodgement of the filled multivessel matrix complex).

He had cyanotic lips, diminished breath sounds in both lungs, positive three concave sign, no fever, and ptosis. The peripheral blood leukocyte count was 10.38 × 109/L, with 12.8% neutrophils and 81% lymphocytes. Blood gas analysis data were pH 7.403, pCO2 40.7 mmHg, pO2 51.8 mmHg, ctHb 13.9 g/dl, sO2 85.4%, BE 0.7 mmol/L, cHCO3- 24.7 mmol/L. The ultrasound showed a significantly enlarged thymus with a soft texture and fair echogenicity. Chest radiographs showed large soft tissue shadows in the bilateral thoracic cavity . +After admission, he received non-invasive ventilation, which relieved his breathing difficulties to some extent. Enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest revealed that the thymus was significantly enlarged, it had smooth margins, regular morphology, and mild uniform enhancement, both lungs were compressed, solid, and non-distended, and the distal segments of the left and right main bronchi and their branches were thinned, and the superior vena cava, right subclavian vein, and left cephalic brachial vein were thickened, which was considered as thymic hyperplasia . Further, the tumor markers alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in peripheral blood were checked within normal limits. Combining the patient's clinical features, imaging, and biopsy findings, TTH was considered. On the third day of admission, the patient's dyspnea further worsened and he underwent tracheal intubation. To relieve the compression of the lungs and heart and great vessels, exploratory thoracoscopic surgery was performed on the third day of admission. +The patient entered the operating room with a tracheal tube, awake and sedated, with pulse oximetry of 85%, a blood pressure of 55/40 mmHg, a heart rate of 101 beats/min, and an airway pressure of 26 cm H2O. After induction of anesthesia, the tracheal tube was removed and an Arndt5F bronchial blocker was placed in the right bronchus, followed by the insertion of a normal tracheal tube. To prevent airway collapse, muscle relaxants were not administered during anesthesia. Due to the patient's low blood pressure and slow heart rate, intraoperative blood pressure was maintained at 55–80/35–52 mmHg after pumping a small dose of dobutamine, and the heart rate fluctuated from 98 to 142 beats/min. Intraoperative blood oxygen fluctuated from 70%–100%. +The patient was placed in the left lateral recumbent position and a 5 mm Trocar was placed in the 8th intercostal space/midaxillary line, 5th intercostal space/anterior axillary line, and 6th intercostal space/posterior axillary line, respectively. Artificial pneumothorax was established at 6–8 mmHg pressure. We observed giant thymus-like tissue occupying the bilateral thoracic cavity, up to the roof of the pleura and down to the diaphragm. It had an intact envelope, a yellowish-white solid lobulated shape, and a soft texture, and these were consistent with the normal thymus appearance . It compressed but did not invade the surrounding structures and measured approximately 12 × 10 × 5 cm , with the phrenic nerve traveling at its margin. We used an electric scalpel to first free dissect and removed the mass occupying the right side of the thorax in its entirety, followed by freeing and removing most of the mass occupying the left side of the thorax, preserving part of the thymus in the left lobe and the volume of the preserved thymus is about 1/3 of the normal unilateral thymus in the age cohorts . And we carefully protected the phrenic nerves bilaterally during the operation. Finally, we enlarged one of the trocar holes to 2 cm and removed the tissue using a retrieval bag, and the weight of the resected mass was approximately 308 g . We placed one silicone drainage tube, with intraoperative bleeding of approximately 2 ml and an operative time of 90 min. The patient had his drainage tube removed 5 days after surgery and was discharged 7 days after surgery. Postoperative pathological histology showed enlarged lobular structures, clear corticomedullary demarcation, and visible thymic vesicles. Combined with the immunohistochemical staining results, it was considered consistent with true thymic hyperplasia . At the 2-month postoperative follow-up, the patient had no new symptoms or related complications. The routine blood test showed WBC 12.46*1012/L, LYMPH# 8.92*109/L, LYMPH% 71.6%.

In addition our patient complained of abdominal cramps. Examination suggested a retroperitoneal mass seen on the most caudal CT slices. He was referred to our hospital for abdominal ultrasound, showing a 11 cm large retroperitoneal tumor located right and ventral to the abdominal aorta . The craniocaudal dimension extended from the head of pancreas to the aortic bifurcation. The tumor consisted of two different components: the cranial component was well delineated and heterogeneous with hyperechoic and anechoic compartments. The caudal tumor component was poorly delineated, homogeneous and hypo-echoic. The tumor led to a ventral displacement of the duodenum and a compression of the inferior vena cava. Due to an obstruction of the right ureter, there was a right-sided hydronephrosis. +A subsequent abdominal CT confirmed these findings . As seen by ultrasound, the tumor consisted of two different parts: (1) a well-perfused heterogeneous part with cystic lesions and (2) a less-perfused, homogeneous part. The two parts were well delineated from each other. The tumor partially encased the inferior vena cava, the right common iliac artery and right ureter. In addition the pancreas and the duodenum could not be delineated from the tumor. Due to the obstruction of the right ureter, the right kidney showed delayed enhancement. +Laboratory analyses found elevated levels of normetanephrin (4411 nmol; normal 570 to 1930 nmol) in a 24-hour urine test, clinically proving a neuroendocrine tumor of the pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma family. Unaware of this differential diagnosis, an endosonographic-guided transduodenal fine needle aspiration was performed confirming the diagnosis. Fortunately no hypertensive crisis occurred. +In addition, intra-hepatic metastases were seen on the initial CT scan and a subsequent octreoscan also revealed the presence of intra-osseous metastases. On contrast-enhanced CT the liver metastases had a slight early arterial enhancement with a reduced wash-out during the venous phase. On ultrasound the liver metastases were not well delineated, but appeared slightly hypo-echogenic compared with the surrounding liver tissue. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was not performed. The CT findings, in particular, would be consistent with metastases from a neuroendocrine tumor. +The presence of metastatic disease precluded a curative resection. However, local resection of the tumor was undertaken for symptomatic relief. +Macroscopically the partially resected tumor reflected the radiological results. The cranial component was well defined and encapsulated and displayed red, brown and black hemorrhagic and cystic areas consistent with the appearance of paragangliomas. Meanwhile the caudal part, corresponding to the neuroblastoma, was macroscopically less well demarcated with a white-gray-tan and solid cut surface. +Microscopically, the encapsulated paraganglioma showed the typical Zellballen growth pattern, an elevated mitotic activity (Ki-67) of up to 50%, necrosis and vascular invasion. The small blue round cells of the neuroblastoma component displayed a highly proliferative (around 90%) and broadly infiltrative growth pattern and lymphovascular invasion was seen . Immunohistochemically, both components were positive for synaptophysin and somatostatin receptor 2 with the latter one being consistent with the positive octreotid scan. In contrast to the neuroblastoma, the paraganglioma expressed the typical markers chromogranin A and vimentin. +There was no evidence for an amplification of the prognostic oncogene N-myc. Tumor metastasis of the neuroblastoma component was histologically confirmed by lymph node and skin biopsies. +Subsequently, our patient was treated with palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy beginning with three cycles of carboplatin aqueous solution and etoposide phosphate. On tumor progression palliative radiotherapy with 10 × 3 Gray at multiple locations followed. Subsequently chemotherapy with CHOP (cyclophoshamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin, prednisone) was started and finally (after two months) changed to a weekly dose of docetaxel with prednisone.

When an acute myelopathy is suspected, a thorough neurological evaluation will help determine the region of the spinal cord affected and then the next diagnostic step is to evaluate for a compressive or structural etiology (Timothy W. ). +Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the complete spinal axis is mandatory in any patient with myelopathic features to exclude structural lesions, particularly those amenable to emergent neurosurgical intervention . +Once neuroimaging has excluded a compressive etiology, a lumbar puncture (LP) is indicated to determine if there are signs of inflammation within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If the CSF is non-inflammatory, then vascular, toxic/metabolic, neurodegenerative, or neoplastic myelopathies become much more likely and the subsequent work-up should focus on these etiologies. If the CSF shows signs of inflammation (pleocytosis, elevated protein concentration, oligoclonal bands, or elevated IgG index), then the subsequent work-up should focus on demyelinating, infectious, or other inflammatory causes of an acute myelitis, as the differential diagnosis is broad . +However, for elucidating the etiology of infectious myelitis, CSF studies are essential. CSF studies include cell count with differential protein and glucose concentrations. In addition, measurements of intrathecal immunoglobulin production with oligoclonal bands (OCBs) and an immunoglobulin G index or synthesis rate are very helpful when trying to determine the presence and etiology of myelitis. +An elevated protein concentration is the most common CSF abnormality in patients with spinal cord disease and is present in approximately 50% of patients with transverse myelitis . A low CSF glucose concentration is defined as less than 60% of serum glucose and generally suggests fungal, bacterial, or mycobacterial infection, especially when associated with an elevated CSF white blood cell count. An isolated low CSF glucose concentration can occur in neurosarcoidosis, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and even systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with CNS involvement . The white blood cell differential can be very helpful as well. The presence of eosinophils can suggest parasitic or fungal infection, the presence of foreign material (such as surgical hardware following a spinal operation) or possibly neuromyelitis optica (NMO) (Timothy W. ). +The most frequent pathogens involved in transverse myelitis include Treponema palidum, Mycobacerium tuberculosis, Borrelia burgdorferi, Campylobacter jejuni, Acinetobacter baumanii, Coxiella burnetii, Bartonella henselae, Chlamydia psittaci, Leprospira, Chlamydia pneunoniae, Legionella pneumonia, Orientia tsutsugamushi (scrub typhus), Salmonella paratyphi B, Brucellosis melitensis, Group A and B streptococci . +Intramedullary abscess may also complicate congenital dermal sinuses or bacterial endocarditis.

In addition, the T-Cell spot test, purified protein derivative test for Mycobacillus Tuberclosis and Latex agglutination test for the cryptococcal capsular antigen were all negative. She underwent three lumbar punctures after admission to our clinic and results revealed a high intracranial pressure and an increased white cell count . +No abnormalities were found on cerebral MRA, while MRV imaging suggested underdevelopment of the right lateral sinus. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed the arterial system to be normal and confirmed dysplasia of the right lateral sinus . Cerebral MRI with contrast revealed several small, hyperintense lesions involving the right cerebellar hemisphere and bilateral occipital lobe, with gadolinium ring enhancement . NGS of CSF sample was further carried out and suggested several possible pathogens including parasites and virus . Serum was subsequently evaluated for presence of cysticercal antibodies and CSF also confirmed positivity, but negative for Echinococcus granulosus. Review of the patient’s previous imaging records revealed several additional anomalies: her pulmonary CT revealed multiple densities in chest wall soft tissue , and her chest radiographs take 6 months prior to admission to our hospital revealed multiple calcifications on the left side of the neck and right chest wall . A diagnosis of cerebral cysticercosis was therefore finally established. Oral praziquantel (2.5 mg/Kg/d × 7 days for one procedure) was administered thrice. Her headache was recovered markedly. Three months after she was discharged, her secondary cranial MR scan revealed persistence of the aforementioned ring-enhancing lesions . She underwent a repeat lumber puncture that revealed a CSF pressure of 220 mmH2O and 10 white blood cells per microliter. Meanwhile, CSF cysticercal antibodies remained positive. Repeat CSF NGS revealed that the T. solium index dropped considerably compared to initial NGS readings. On follow-up 6 months later, she reported no persisting symptoms. +CSF was collected via standard procedures. DNA was extracted from 300 μL CSF samples using the TIANamp Micro DNA Kit (DP316, Tiangen Biotech, Beijing, China) and sonicated to a size of 200–300 bps fragments (Bioruptor Pico protocols). DNA libraries were then constructed via end-repaired adaptation added overnight and application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification to extracted DNA. An Agilent 2100 Bio-analyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) in combination with quantitative PCR was utilized to quantify DNA libraries. Sequencing was performed using the BGISEQ-100 platform (BGI-Tianjin, Tianjin, China) . +Most high-quality sequencing data were generated and computational subtraction of human host sequences was performed using a Burrows- Wheeler Alignment tool . Remaining sequencing data were aligned with Microbial Genome Databases, which is composed of 2700 whole genome sequences of viral taxa, 1494 bacterial genomes or scaffolds, 73 fungi and 47 parasites associated with human infectivity. The total number of reads from different samples was standardized as 20 M for comparison. After alignment, previously obtained files were filtered and duplicates removed. ThMmapped data were further processed and with the depth and coverage of each species calculated using Soap Coverage . A control sample from a non-infected patient was obtained and subjected to the aforementioned procedures. The DNA of CSF samples before and after drug treatment was extracted to construct a complementary DNA (cDNA) library for sequencing. The number of reads from the cDNA library of the patient’s CSF was 37,781,754 (before drug treatment) and 19,043,412 (after drug treatment) respectively. Those of the control sample were 25,962,600. As a result of pathogen detection, T.solium was identified as the most predominant parasite with 3.495% coverage of the T.solium genome in the first detection; however this reduced to 0.078% in the second detection after specific drug therapy. No reads of T.solium were detected from control samples. Reads of viruses were also detected in the CSF samples, later identified as human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4). After drug therapy, the number of HHV-4 reads decreased approximately 20-fold. The results of CSF NGS prior to and after praziquantel therapy are shown in Table . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2444_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2444_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fbc127e2ca2b621507c529d2180ef699ca4d32a0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2444_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +On 24 January 2020, a 48-year-old male patient with a history of asthma was transferred to our department due to acute myocarditis of unknown origin.

Both showed highly reduced ventricular function [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 22%, right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) 28%]. Furthermore, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of the entire left ventricular myocardium with intracardial thrombi was detected on MRI . T1 and T2 times were markedly prolonged, reflecting acute oedema following myocardial inflammation. In light of a multifaceted differential diagnosis, pulmonary and myocardial biopsies were performed. Histopathological analysis of the pulmonary biopsy showed interstitial alveolitis with capillaritis, necrosis, and mild eosinophilia. The cardiac specimen revealed active lymphocytic myocarditis .

It is of interest that Austria is considered the origin of the COVID-19 outbreak in Europe. The distance from Tyrol to our department in Germany is ∼500 km. One week later, the patient arrived at the hospital because of a progressive fever and weakness. Moreover, the patient reported that his 8-year-old daughter developed flu-like symptoms with a high-grade fever (40.7°C/105°F) ∼1 week after his first symptoms. +Subsequently, PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 RNA was initiated on the histological specimens of the heart using quantitative reverse transcription–PCR (RT–qPCR) kits targeting the E gene and RdRp gene (TIB MOLBIOL, Roche Diagnostics, Germany), and the N2 assay (N gene). Unexpectedly, those tests were positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Therefore, we revised the diagnosis from small-vessel vasculitis to COVID-19-associated myocarditis and immediately stopped immunosuppressive treatment with cyclophosphamide. The steroid dose was also tapered. The course of resolving the intracardial thrombus was accomplished with a therapy that included coumarin-type drugs. The normalization of elevated laboratory inflammation markers, improvement of cardiac function on echocardiography, and the absence of cardiac inflammation on cardiac MRI confirmed the patient’s recovery. +The pulmonary specimen showed mild eosinophilia with parenchymal necrosis and alveolitis. Staining for CD31, factor VIII, and CD68 were positive, while all other staining experiments were negative. In the cardiac specimen, markedly elevated counts of lymphocytes (positive for LFA-1, CD45R0, and CD3) and elevated counts of macrophages (positive for MAC-1) could be detected along with the expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1). In contrast, perforin-expressing cytotoxic cells were not present.

Neurological examination was within normal limits. Standing anteroposterior and lateral radiograph revealed failed implant with progression of deformity. Cobb’s angle was 64° at presentation. The patient underwent implant removal and revision deformity correction surgery with pedicle screw-rod system simultaneously. The patient-specific 3D-printed pedicle screw templates were used for safe pedicle screw placement. These templates are manufactured by 3D printing technology using CAD files but in a sequential manner . In the first step, images were acquired using multidetector computed tomography(CT) scan and a 3D image of patient’s vertebral column was created. Computer software was used to convert digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images to 3D model of spine. This software was Mimics Innovation Suite®, Materialise, Belgium (Mimics Medical and 3-Matic Medical 11). DICOM data of the patient’s CT scan were imported into Mimics Medical 19. On initial examination of 3D model, it was asserted necessary to separate the vertebral column from the residual implant. This was done initially by segmenting the bone and implant using different respective threshold values. Next, further segmentation was done manually to eliminate the artifacts caused by stainless steel spinal rectangle loop and sublaminar wires. The implant and vertebral column were then imported into 3-Matic Medical 11 software and were used as base data to manufacture pediclelocating guides for each vertebra, using various CAD tools available in the software. Biomedical engineer and surgeon together differentiated metal artifacts and bone defects so as to make templates with maximum bone contact surface possible. The final 3D-printed model of spine and the design of templates are illustrated. These templates were manufactured using polyurethane material. Hence, they could be sterilized and used intraoperatively for creating the tract for appropriate placement of pedicle screws as bony landmarks for putting pedicle screws by free-hand technique were obscured.

The diagnosis of the injured extremity was that: complete transcervical fracture of the left femoral neck (AO/OTA31B2.3, Pauwels III), obsolete segmental fracture of the left femoral shaft (AO/OTA32C2) . +Due to difficult reduction on complete fracture, open reduction and internal fixation were carried out under general anesthesia in July 2020. The patient was placed in the supine position on the OSI full fluoroscopic traction operation bed. The left tibial tubercle bone traction was connected with the lower limb traction system. The calf was rotated internally to keep the patella perpendicular to the ground, and the femoral shaft and femoral neck fractures were initially reduced by traction. The surface projection of the proximal and distal approach was determined in front of the thigh, the junction area of the isthmus and the non-isthmus of the proximal femoral shaft was taken as the boundary, the line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the lateral edge of the patella was taken as the incision surface projection in the proximal area, and the line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the medial edge of the patella was taken as the incision surface projection in the distal area , . The location of the fracture site was determined by intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy and marked horizontally on the body surface. +First of all, the femoral shaft fracture was reduced and fixed. The first step, according to the position of the surface projection of the proximal femoral shaft fracture line (anterolateral approach), a 6 cm longitudinal skin incision (-a) was performed, then open the subcutaneous and deep fascia to expose the rectus femoris, pull the rectus femoris to the medial side and split the vastus intermedius, directly expose the proximal fracture site, which was reduced by Weber forceps under direct vision. Through the anteromedial approach (-b), the medial muscle space of the rectus femoris exposes and splits the vastus intermedius to the distal fracture site and achieves fracture reduction in a similar way as the proximal fracture site. The third step, after the femoral neck fracture was temporarily fixed with two percutaneous Kirschner wires, the Trigen Tan Fan (Simth&Nephew Ltd., Watford, UK) was placed, and the distal locking screws were firstly inserted after the position of the nail.

Nine months ago, the patient stopped the oral medication because of loss of appetite. The symptoms of urinary hesitancy, dribbling and prolonged urination worsened gradually and therefore he was admitted to our hospital for surgery.

On the one hand, the treatment might improve renal function, the improvement of renal function would then create better conditions for chemotherapy or surgery of adenocarcinoma treatment. On the other hand, the imaging response of hepatic nodules to glucocorticoid administration might suggest whether the nodules were malignancy or IgG4-related pseudo-tumor.

Her medical history was straightforward. She smoked 10 cigarettes per day for more than 10 years. Sonographic examination suggested an appendicular plastron and was interpreted as an ovarian mass. Subsequently, a laparoscopy was performed in a district hospital. Due to the pregnancy and the adhesions the view was incomplete (the uterus and ovaries could not clearly be identified) but peritoneal spread of malignant plaques was evident. Microscopic examination of the peritoneal lesions showed a solid, fat-infiltrating mass, composed of cancerous cells with storiform growth pattern. Cancer cells have a spindle form containing a moderate quantity of eosinofilic cytoplasm and a polymorph vesicular nucleus, sometimes containing a prominent nucleolus.

Computer tomography of the lungs excluded metastasis. +We discussed the diagnosis of a high-grade ESS with transperitoneal spread, but without distant metastasis, with the patient and her husband. Psychological support was provided. We explained that the situation was life threatening for both the mother and fetus. Given the young age of the patient and expected limited response to chemotherapy, we opted for a maximal surgical effort during cytoreductive surgery. If this had been a case of a significant cytoreduction, we would have considered anthracyclin based chemotherapy, even in the presence of an ongoing pregnancy. We agreed that if the maternal situation seemed prospectless, termination of pregnancy should be performed. In which case, hysterotomy would appear to be a better solution when compared to induction and labor. At midline laparotomy, the tumor was diffusely spread throughout the pelvis and upper abdomen. The disease at the level of the peritoneum was infiltrating the sub-peritoneal fat and this infiltration was responsible for the pain at the right fossa. The uterine serosa was diffusely involved . The small and large bowel and the omentum contained diffuse and multiple tumoral plaques. Given the diffuse and sometimes deep infiltration of both the peritoneum and intestines, she was considered inoperable. A hysterotomy was performed, leaving the uterus in situ.

The patient’s chief complaint was dyspnoea on exertion, which he had been experiencing for the past 2 months. His condition corresponded to New York Heart Association functional Class II (NYHA Class II). +The patient denied any additional symptoms. His medical history revealed a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and he reported no known genetic or congenital disorders in his parents. During the initial physical examination, the patient exhibited short stature (height: 135 cm and weight: 53 kg), but his blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature were within the normal range. +Upon auscultation, a characteristic murmur consistent with aortic stenosis was detected. The murmur was described as high-pitched, crescendo–decrescendo in nature, and exhibited a mid-systolic ejection pattern. It was graded as III/VI and best heard at the heart base. Additionally, a Grade IV/VI holosystolic (pansystolic) murmur was noted, audible at the apex with the diaphragm of the stethoscope, particularly when the patient assumed the left lateral decubitus position. This finding was suggestive of mitral regurgitation (MR). Symmetrical pulses were observed in both the upper and lower limbs, and a palpable spleen was detected ∼4 cm below the costal margin. No other significant abnormalities were identified during the examination. The patient was on a regular daily dosage of levothyroxine (0.1 mg). +At the time of presentation, the electrocardiogram (ECG) exhibited changes indicative of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) . +The patient underwent trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) initially, and subsequently, trans-oesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed due to abnormal findings observed in the TTE ( and ). Trans-thoracic echocardiography and the complementary TEE examinations revealed a LV ejection fraction of ∼65% and moderate LVH. Furthermore, the AV was observed to be thickened with severe calcification of the AV cusps, resulting in severe AV stenosis. The maximum velocity (Vmax) across the AV was measured at 5.6 m/s, and the AV area was determined to be 0.84 cm2. +The severe calcification observed in the proximal region of the under-developed ascending aorta and aortic arch led to the presence of severe supra-valvular aortic stenosis. Additionally, the calcification extended to the aortomitral continuity and anterior MV leaflet, resulting in moderate mitral stenosis and severe degenerative MR. The echocardiographic findings indicated a mean gradient across the MV of 10 mmHg, a vena contracta of 7.4 mm, a regurgitant volume of 84 mL/beat, and an effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) of 0.43 cm2. It is noteworthy that the patient’s heart rate during the echocardiographic examination for the assessment of the MV gradient was recorded as 82 b.p.m. The initial laboratory investigations revealed normal results, except for thrombocytopaenia, with a platelet count of 62 000 × 103/µL (150 000–450 000 × 103/µL). Thyroid function tests were within normal limits. Microscopic examination of the peripheral blood smear showed thrombocytopaenia, along with a few foci of platelet aggregation. The red blood cell count and white blood cell count appeared normal, both in terms of count and morphology. +Abdominal ultrasound revealed an abnormal finding of splenomegaly, with a span measuring 180 mm. Further imaging with multi-detector computed tomography (CT) of the aorta, cervical, and cerebral arteries confirmed the previously visualized findings from the echocardiography examination (see , ). It was observed that the aortic arch and descending aorta also exhibited hypoplasia, similar to the under-developed ascending aorta with an average diameter of 15 mm. The assessment of the patient’s cardiovascular system included the examination of the aortic arch branches, abdominal aorta, and its branches, as well as the cervical and cerebral arteries. These blood vessels were found to be patent and exhibited a normal anatomical structure. Additionally, the coronary CT angiography (CTA) scan indicated a normal course and no significant luminal stenosis in the coronary arteries. However, it was noted that there was calcification present in the left circumflex artery. +Considering the extensive cardiovascular involvement in the patient and the scarcity of similar cases documented in the literature, a heart team was convened. After careful deliberation, it was decided that surgical intervention was necessary due to the worsening dyspnoea experienced by the patient. Prior to the open-heart surgery, a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were performed. The results of the bone marrow biopsy and aspiration revealed the presence of clusters of eosinophilic histiocytes exhibiting a fibrillar or striated appearance and characterized by thin nuclei. These findings were consistent with Gaucher cells, indicative of GD . +The patient underwent surgery, which the Bentall procedure was performed by the surgeon using a mechanical composite St-Jude #21 valve. Additionally, MV replacement was carried out using a mechanical St-Jude #27 valve. Septal myectomy was also performed, due to the high LV outflow tract pressure gradient (LVOT PG) and high LV end-diastolic pressure. Following the operation, a post-operative echocardiography examination revealed preserved LV systolic function, as well as well-functioning prosthetic valves in both the AV and MV. The echocardiogram also indicated good leaflet motion and acceptable gradients across the prosthetic valves. +Upon discharge, the patient has prescribed warfarin, aspirin 80 mg daily, and bisoprolol 1.25 mg daily as part of their post-operative management. However, 1 month after the surgery, the patient contracted a COVID-19 infection. Fortunately, they recovered after receiving a course of intravenous glucocorticoid therapy. During the follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months, the patient’s symptoms improved, and they were in good overall condition. It is important to note that the patient underwent enzyme replacement therapy with imiglucerase (Cerezyme) at a monthly dosage of 1200 units. As a result of this treatment, the patient’s platelet count remained within the range of 100 000–130 000 × 103/µL. Therefore, splenectomy was not deemed necessary in this case. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2711_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2711_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a37e625da9079eb1a271cb9d8704e3b2689e8b7a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2711_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 51-year-old unemployed, married Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital to determine the aetiology of pericardial effusion. At 8 years of age, she had complained of pain in the extremities induced by fever and exercise.

At 44 years of age, she was started on 0.2 mg/kg agalsidase alfa therapy administered every 2 weeks without additional drugs. However, LV concentric hypertrophy progressed and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels continued to increase over a period of 7 years. +At 51 years of age, she experienced shortness of breath at rest and during sleep, accompanied by a weight gain of 3 kg in 2 months. She received 20 mg/day of furosemide orally once-a-day for a month at an outpatient clinic. However, we discontinued its administration before the admission day because it did not affect the severity of pericardial effusion despite the 3-kg reduction in body weight as shown below. She had been receiving ERT regularly until the time of admission. Her blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate were 128/70 mmHg, 60 beats/min, and 14 breaths/min, respectively.

Physical examination revealed a 1 × 1 cm indurated mass in the right thyroid lobe without palpable lymphadenopathy. Fine-needle aspiration confirmed a papillary thyroid carcinoma. She underwent a total thyroidectomy with cervico-central and cervico-lateral lymphadenectomy. Intraoperative histopathological examination revealed a bilateral papillary carcinoma pT1 pN1b. Laryngeal nerves and thoracic duct were identified and not harmed, and administration of cream via gastric tube showed no leakage. Two suction drains were left behind. +On the second postoperative day, the patient complained of dyspnoea and chest discomfort. In absence of neck swelling or suggestive fluid in her drains, a computed tomography of the chest for suspected pulmonary embolism was performed. Massive bilateral pleural effusions were detected; bilateral thoracic drainages were inserted and about 2 L of milky white fluid with a triglyceride level of 17 mmol/L were evacuated. Total parenteral nutrition with total enteral rest and octreotide were initiated. The output of both pleural drains was over 2 L a day. The patient was re-operated on post-operative day (pod) 4 due to the persisting thoracic discharge of over 2 L a day. Again, no chyle leak or injury to the thoracic duct was found. The thoracic duct was ligated. This resulted in a dramatic decrease in the drain output. The thoracic drains were removed on pod 9 and a regular diet was started again. The patient was discharged on pod 11. +The thoracic duct arises from the cisterna chyli at the level of the second lumbar vertebra. It enters at the base of the neck and curves to the left to cross the scalene anterior muscle and the thyrocervical trunk. From here it enters the internal jugular, left subclavian, left external jugular or right jugular vein with a high variability . Injury to the duct usually occurs with thorough dissection of lymphatic tissue in this region. It is commonly recognized by milky effusion in the drain. +Chylothorax in absence of direct injury to the thoracic duct and therefore without chylous effusion however is rare. Bilateral chylothorax is even more uncommon. The pathophysiology is not completely understood; two pathologic mechanisms are discussed in the literature. First, direct leakage of the thoracic duct with subsequent drainage into the mediastinum leads to an inflammatory reaction that causes effusion to both thoracic cavities. Even though in this case no obvious injury to the thoracic duct was found intraoperatively, there has been reports of a few cases in which the suction drains in the thyroid cavity drained chyle. This has been thought to be an indirect sign of injury to the cervical lymphatic vessels. +The second pathologic mechanism is thought to be the inadvertent ligation of the thoracic duct which leads to a rise of the intraductal pressure intrathoracically. This rising pressure and in combination with the negative intrapleural pressure generated during inspiration is thought to be severe enough to result in the rupture of the thoracic duct. In our case study, we were not able to identify any injury to the large lymphatic vessels. In both initial and in the revision procedure, cream was administered and the thoracic duct was inspected. Furthermore, the thoracic duct was only ligated in the revision operation. Therefore, exact pathophysiology of chylothorax in our case study remains unknown. +Management of chylothorax is mostly conservative and is focused on decreasing the amount of chyle production and preventing concurrent nutritional, immunologic and cardiopulmonary complications. +The first measure is to drain the bilateral effusions by inserting chest tubes to relieve respiratory and circulatory distress. Diet comprising of middle chain fatty acids or even total parenteral nutrition without oral intake is recommended. +Administration of octreotide to reduce thoracic duct flow remains controversial . +Operative treatment is recommended for chyle leaks of more than 1 L per day persisting for more than 5 days or chylothorax remaining longer than 4 weeks, or in a case which results in severe metabolic complications. +However, some surgeons prefer early operative intervention to reduce hospital stay and morbidity secondary to long time nutritional restriction and drainage tubes . Due to the paucity of cases, definitive treatment guidelines are still lacking. +Another aspect is the delay in treatment. This is particularly significant in oncologic patients where lymphadenectomies are being performed. In our patient, a computed chest tomography was performed due to a high clinical suspicion of a pulmonary embolic event. Due to iodide exposition, radioiodine therapy followed with a delay of 4 weeks. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2735_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2735_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c5a8f818052a5332f9e8bd66ced77a7c9c5e5de4 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2735_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +A 41-year-old man (height 171.5 cm, body weight 67 kg) was transferred to the regional medical center due to right hemiplegia and aphagia.

Cardiac catheterization indicated elevated pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) (systolic/diastolic/mean: 86/33/60 mmHg) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (32 mmHg) at the systemic arterial pressure of 120/83/102 mmHg. Hence, the patient was admitted to our university center for the surgical treatment of MR. +Preoperative single-photon emission computed tomography revealed reduced cerebral blood flow in the left cerebral hemisphere (especially in the external left frontal cortex; Fig. ). Neurosurgeons at our center judged that the patient did not have an indication for cerebral revascularization surgery, which is used to prevent ischemic complications during the perioperative period of mitral valve plasty. This was because his left frontal lobe showed extensive cerebral infarction and no cerebral infarction symptoms were observed in the right cerebral hemisphere. Therefore, mitral valve plasty without cerebral revascularization was chosen. +In the operation room, the patient’s monitoring of electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation, systemic arterial pressure via right radial artery catheter, bispectral index, and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) at the right and left forehead (INVOS™ 5100C, Somanetics, USA) was initiated before the administration of general anesthesia. The rSO2 values for the left and right forehead were 72 and 81 %, respectively. +General anesthesia was induced by intravenous administration of 3 mg of midazolam, 0.4 mg of fentanyl, and 50 mg of rocuronium. After tracheal intubation, a transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe was inserted. Then, a central venous catheter and right heart catheter were inserted via the right internal jugular vein, and central venous pressure, PAP, cardiac output, and mixed venous oxygen saturation were measured. The nasopharyngeal temperature and urinary bladder temperature were also measured. +Before CPB, general anesthesia was maintained by inhalation of sevoflurane (1–1.5 % of end-tidal concentration). The patient’s PaCO2 was maintained between 38 and 42 mmHg. Intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) was placed at the start of surgery and the augmented pressure was maintained. The mean arterial pressure was constantly above 70 mmHg. Before CPB, rSO2 values were almost above 80 % on both sides . +During CPB, administration of sevoflurane via the oxygenator was also continued because of its cerebrovascular dilatation activity and potential preconditioning effect against focal cerebral ischemia. PaCO2 was maintained between 45 and 50 mmHg, and alpha-stat management of pH was performed. Hypothermia was induced; the temperature at the bottom of the nasopharyngeal temprature was 28 °C. We used pulsatile perfusion assist to maintain cerebral circulation during CPB with IABP. A decrease in rSO2 was observed 162 min after the initiation of CPB. Our perfusionist increased the CPB pump flow from 2.2 L/min/m2 to 2.8 L/min/m2 in order to increase cerebral blood flow. Moreover, the concentration of sevoflurane was increased to 2 %. Yet, rSO2 desaturation (15 % reduction from baseline) was not improved. We decided to increase the depth-of-anesthesia with another dose of midazolam. After administration of 3 mg of midazolam, the rSO2 values increased from 67 to 73 % on the right side and from 71 to 74 % on the left side. During CPB, the lowest values (and variation) of rSO2 in the left and right forehead were 71 % (−2 %) and 67 % (−17 %), respectively. Mitral valve plasty was performed as planned. +At the weaning from the CPB, the disappearance of MR was confirmed by TEE; the weaning was not difficult. Pulmonary hypertension also improved (PAP was 26/12 mmHg, while systemic arterial pressure was 105/56 mmHg). After CPB, inhalation of sevoflurane (1–1.5 % of end-tidal concentration) was also continued. The rSO2 values were almost above 75 % on both sides and not below the awake rSO2 values . CPB and aortic cross-clamping lasted 352 min and 289 min, respectively. On the completion of the surgery, the IABP was discontinued and sevoflurane administration was stopped.

Intraoperative microbiological sampling revealed multiple CRKP isolates, with a worsened resistance profile, including colimycin (colistin) resistance. He improved and a control radiographic (RX) scan of his thorax was negative; bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sampling, however, confirmed persistence at low bacterial load of CRKP.

After further blood sampling for blood cultures and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR; Magicplex™ Sepsis Test, Seegene), colimycin and anidulafungin were restarted with the addition of rifampicin . Multiplex PCR revealed A. baumannii and Candida albicans. To support septic shock recovery, two extracorporeal hemoperfusion devices were used: the Polymyxin B-Immobilized Cartridge (Toraymyxin® PMX 20-R, Toray Medical, Tokyo, Japan), allowing endotoxin removal and coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA; CPFA® LYNDA®, Bellco, Mirandola, Italy), a hydrophobic resin with high affinity for many inflammatory mediators.

Microbiological samples yielded: MDR A. baumannii and CRKP from tracheal aspirate, C. albicans and MDR A. baumannii from blood cultures, and A. baumannii and panresistant CRKP from wound swabs. In spite of septic shock reversal, he remained febrile with diarrhea and worsening anemia in the next 2 weeks. Control blood cultures (three lots) were persistently positive for C. Albicans, A. baumannii and CRKP. Ophthalmoscopy revealed retinal involvement, so that sequential therapy with liposomal amphotericin B was started. In the following weeks frequent vomiting ensued, impeding any enteral nutrition; his abdominal pain increased, paralleled by a palpable mass in his right flank. Colonoscopy revealed patchy serpiginous ulcers; a repeated CT of his abdomen revealed a periappendicular mass. Based on such data, after repeated multidisciplinary consults, an exploratory laparotomy was at last performed and an inflammatory pseudotumor of his right colon was diagnosed and resected with ileostomy. Soon after surgery, his blood cultures turned negative. Colimycin was interrupted. Once more, septic shock relapsed 4 days later. Leukocytosis, hypotension, PCT >100 ng/mL, renal failure, and lactate 4.0 mmol/L led to a SOFA score of 11; creatinine zenith was 4.73 mg/dL. Combination antibiotic therapy was modified (see Table ) and a single Polymyxin B extracorporeal hemoperfusion cycle was repeated. Blood cultures were persistently positive for CRKP. After interdisciplinary consultation, removal of pelvic synthesis media was anticipated.

The preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examination confirmed AAE and moderate AR and detected abnormal blood flow just superior to the pulmonary valve. A coronary angiography demonstrated two fistulas from the right coronary cusp and left coronary artery with contrast draining to the pulmonary artery. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with AAE, AR, and coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula and scheduled for repairing the dilated aortic root while preserving the native aortic valve and closure of the fistula. +Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, 10 mg; fentanyl, 0.2 mg; and vecuronium, 8 mg and maintained with propofol, remifentanil, and vecuronium. After induction of anesthesia, a pulmonary artery catheter was placed through the right internal jugular vein and we performed blood sampling from the pulmonary artery, the right atrium, and the radial artery. We detected the oxygen step-up in the pulmonary artery and calculated that pulmonary flow/systemic flow (Qp/Qs) and left-to-right shunt ratio was 1.9 and 46%, respectively (oxygen saturation in the radial artery, the right atrium, and the pulmonary artery is 99.6, 73.3, and 85.5, respectively). Furthermore, we confirmed shunt flow of the coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula draining to just superior to the pulmonary valve by TEE. Since the calculated values of Qp/Qs and left-to-right shunt ratio were unexpectedly high, we explored the presence of another shunt which had not been detected by preoperative TTE or plain computed tomography. Then, we found abnormal blood flow contrast draining from the descending aorta to the pulmonary trunk with upper esophageal aortic arch short-axis view . We suspected the presence of PDA and reported it to surgeons, and then, closure of PDA was added to the schedule. +After establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the fistula from the right coronary cusp was found easily on the heart and it drained to the pulmonary artery. We tried to snare the fistula and confirmed no ECG changes, and then, we ligated this fistula. Then, the aorta was cross-clamped and the heart was arrested. The surgical findings after incision of the pulmonary main truncus included two orifices at just superior to the pulmonary valve and at the roof of the pulmonary trunk. The former orifice was drained from the fistula from the right and left coronary artery. After cardiac arrest, significant blood flow was noted through the latter orifice, so we considered that the latter orifice was drained from PDA. These orifices were closed, and then, repairing the dilated aortic root while preserving the native aortic valve was performed. Weaning from CPB was uneventful. We confirmed no residual shunt by TEE and calculated Qp/Qs as 1.0. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2754_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2754_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..765de526923f24dbe541ecd79049329fc0826ae0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2754_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 75-year-old woman was admitted in ICU after a cardiac arrest with return of spontaneous circulation, caused by tension pneumothorax.

However, the WHO Rose Angina Questionnaire was positive. She had retrosternal chest pain during exertion, relieved within 5 min of taking glyceryl trinitrate 0.5 mg. It occurred once or twice a month. There was no radiation, shortness of breath, or any other associated symptoms. Her resting electrocardiogram was normal. +This patient was diagnosed with PCAD in 1998 at 29 years of age when she presented to a cardiology clinic complaining of exertional angina and reduced effort tolerance. She subsequently underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left anterior descending artery. After the intervention, she received follow-up care at a primary care clinic. Unfortunately, she developed another episode of chest pain in 2015 at the age of 46. An angiogram revealed an 80% blocked left circumflex artery and obtuse marginal arteries. She was initially treated with medical therapy due to financial constraints but eventually underwent another PCI in 2018 at the age of 49 years. She then continued her follow-up concurrently in the cardiology and primary care clinics. +This patient had a strong family history of hypercholesterolaemia and PCAD. Both of her parents were treated for hypercholesterolaemia. Her father passed away at 63 due to a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). Her mother had coronary artery bypass grafting at 72 years old. Among her eight siblings, seven were treated for hypercholesterolaemia and had either MACE or sudden cardiac death between the ages of 43 and 56 at the time of diagnosis. She has three children who are being investigated for high cholesterol. None of her family members have had genetic testing for suspected FH. Her family pedigree chart is shown in . +On examination, she was obese, with a body mass index of 38.4 kg/m2. Her blood pressure was 104/74 mmHg. Other vital signs were normal. Bilateral grade 2 corneal arcus were observed , but the patient only noticed them at 52 years old. There was no tendon xanthoma. +The SBC, DLCN score, and FAMCAT relative risk score for this patient were deduced based on the clinical history and laboratory investigations that were extracted from her electronic medical record. The highest LDL-c level was 8.0 mmol/L, and the highest total cholesterol (TC) level was 10.7 mmol/L, recorded in October 2020. Therefore, this patient fulfilled the SBC (possible FH), DLCN (score of 8 – probable FH), and FAMCAT (relative risk score of 9.51) criteria. She was then offered and counselled for genetic testing, the gold standard for diagnosing FH. Targeted next-generation sequencing of the three FH candidate genes (LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9) was conducted. Subsequently, she was confirmed to carry a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the LDLR gene (rs769446356) located in intron 2 (noncoding area), in keeping with the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommendation. This patient was then counselled by the primary care physician regarding the genetic diagnosis, the need to intensify her lipid-lowering medication (LLM), and to screen her first-degree relatives. The importance of adherence to lifestyle modification and pharmacotherapy was also emphasized. +This patient received long-term follow-up care from a multidisciplinary team of primary care physician, cardiologist, and lipid specialist. Despite being on atorvastatin 80 mg nocte, her LDL-c level was still high at 8.0 mmol/L, and her TC level was also high at 10.7 mmol/L. The cardiology team changed the LLM regime to a combination therapy of rosuvastatin 20 mg nocte and ezetimibe 10 mg daily. The lower rosuvastatin dose of 20 mg was chosen instead of 40 mg to minimize the potential side effects of high-intensity statin in this patient. She responded well to the combination treatment, where her LDL-c level decreased to 5.0 mmol/L, and her TC level decreased to 7.6 mmol/L. However, she still failed to achieve the ≥50% reduction in LDL-c or the target LDL-c of <1.8 mmol/L as recommended by the international guidelines. Her LLM will be further intensified by the lipid specialist in the subsequent follow-ups to achieve the recommended LDL-c target of <1.8 mmol/L by maximizing rosuvastatin from 20 to 40 mg nocte before adding an injectable LLM, such as the PCSK9 inhibitors. The possibility that lipoprotein apheresis may be needed in the future was also discussed with the patient if there is an inadequate response to the maximum tolerated dose of LLM. The cost of treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors and lipoprotein apheresis was also discussed, as these treatments are not currently reimbursed by the government health financing system in Malaysia. +The primary care physician conducted a cascade screening of her first-degree relatives. All three of her children were found to have elevated LDL-c levels and were clinically diagnosed with FH.

The contralateral eye was diagnosed with myopic macular degeneration, and with appropriate treatment and uncomplicated cataract surgery, a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 1.00 logMAR was achieved. Therefore, treating the right eye was the immediate concern. There was no documented history of IOP elevation in the patient’s medical history prior to the fourth PKP.

The purpose of our operational manual is to restore the frame structure of the cage. The second stage of surgical treatment is the replacement of the pectoralis major muscle defect with a silicone prosthesis. However, this operation is performed by aesthetic surgeons. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3196_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3196_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f7537737099a538202ebdf08f11468da6afaea0f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3196_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +After experiencing constipation and abdominal distension for three days, a 55-year-old man was brought to the emergency department for treatment.

His vital signs upon arrival were as follows: His temperature was 37.8°C, his pulse rate was 92 beats per minute, his respiratory rate was 20 breaths per minute, and his blood pressure was recorded at 151/99 mmHg upon arrival. He had a swollen, non-tender, tympanitic belly and no audible bowel sounds during auscultation. Hepatosplenomegaly or peritoneal irritation signs were absent in the patient. Urinary retention was not noticed. Abdominal ultrasound revealed diffuse abdominal gas distention and a dilated small intestine.

A neurological evaluation revealed sensory deficiencies (reduced sensation to touch and reduced sensitivity to pain, while vibration and joint position sense was intact) and decreased muscle strength (3/5 both upper and lower extremities based on the MRC scale). The patients’ s deep tendon reflexes were absent in both upper and lower extremities. Plantar reflexes were muted bilaterally. His initial bowel distension was not considered a neurological manifestation; however, the development of symmetrical quadriparesis caught the neurologist’s attention. + +Routine biochemical studies, including serum potassium level (4 mEq/L) and other blood tests, showed no abnormal findings. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, cervical, and thoracic spinal cord did not reveal any underlying brain or spinal pathology. Abdominal CT with contrast showed markedly delayed bowel without mechanical obstruction, which suggested paralytic ileus, and no contrast passed through the duodenum during a 6-hour small bowel series examination. Over the next few days of total parenteral feeding and prokinetic use (metoclopramide 10 mg IV TID), the patient showed persistent severe ileus. A nerve conduction study (done 4 days of symptom onset) demonstrated demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed a normal white blood cell count (2 WBC/μL), high protein (819.9 mg/L; reference: 150–450 mg/L), and a glucose level of 55 mg/dl. This showed albumin-cytological dissociation. Based on the clinical presentation, neurophysiologic findings, and CSF findings, we diagnosed him with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Immediate treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 0.4 g/kg daily for 5 days was initiated. Five days after the onset of motor weakness, the patient’s condition rapidly progressed to involve bilateral facial paralysis (facial diplegia) and dysphagia. In the next few days, the patient developed respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation due to diaphragmatic weakness. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. After 2 months of intubation in the intensive care unit, the patient passed away due to septicemia. In this case, the patient presented with paralytic ileus as a type of dysautonomia; however, it was not recognized as GBS dysautonomia. The later emergence of motor weakness and sensory disturbances prompted the consideration of GBS. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3215_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3215_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..14e2162d273ffed9a99798078ed820f479009fef --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3215_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 13-year-old girl with intellectual disability experienced epilepsy and fatigue for two years, with a recent event of edema, breathlessness, and nocturnal dyspnea that prompted admission to the Cardiology Department of Beijing Children’s Hospital.

Physical examination exhibited systolic murmur, jugular vein distention, and enlarged liver and spleen. Blood biochemistry showed elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (12.95 mmol·L− 1), creatinine (1.1 mg·dl− 1), uric acid (734.1 µmol·L− 1), aspartate aminotransferase (63.8 U·L− 1), and alanine aminotransferase (97.6 U·L− 1) and low estimated creatinine clearance rate (53.98 ml/min/1.73 m2; bedside Schwart estimation). Troponin-I (0.132 ng·mL− 1) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (15,906 pg·mL− 1) levels were significantly increased. Blood pressure was 100–122/65–84 mmHg. The urine routine showed no abnormalities, including white cells, red cells, or proteinuria. The 24-hour urine volume was 820–1100 ml. Tests for urine organic acids and plasma amino acids were negative. Echocardiography showed a low ejection fraction (34%) and fractional shortening (16%). Echocardiography indicated heart enlargement and ventricular hypertrophy, suggesting cardiomyopathy. Edema, dyspnea, elevated NT-proBNP levels, and reduced ejection fraction were all indicative of heart failure. In addition, echocardiography revealed left cardiac dysfunction, general heart enlargement, ventricular hypertrophy, massive pericardial effusion, moderate regurgitation in multiple valves, and a severely reduced ejection fraction of 35%, further supporting the diagnosis of heart failure. Electrocardiography indicated paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia and ST-T wave alterations. Routine urine tests and a kidney ultrasound were conducted, revealing no evidence of proteinuria, hematuria, or morphological changes typical of NPHP, such as corticomedullary cysts or significant structural abnormalities. No kidney biopsy was performed, limiting a conclusive diagnosis of a kidney pathology based on histological assessment. Although the blood tests indicated elevated BUN and creatinine, these findings were considered to be acute kidney injury due to severe cardiac failure, which might lead to impaired kidney perfusion rather than primary kidney disease. After informed consent, genetic testing was conducted on the patient and her relatives. After filtering the non-candidate variants of the proband from the databases, a homozygous splicing mutation, XPNPEP3 c.970–2 A > G, was detected in intron 6, and no other related significant mutations were identified, establishing a diagnosis of NPHPL1. Using Sanger sequencing, this mutation was confirmed in the proband’s asymptomatic brother (heterozygous) and parents (recessive carriers). ESEfinder v.3.0 (http://rulai.cshl.edu/tools/ESE) predicted that c.970–2 A > G may reduce the binding of the splicing factors SRSF2 and SRSF5 to their target sequence, suggesting that the mutation may lead to abnormal splicing of XPNPEP3. Similar results were predicted by Human Splicing Finder (HSF) and the NetGene2 servers. Moreover, the experimental results of the minigene approach confirmed the deleterious effect of c.970–2 A > G. Agarose gel electrophoresis analysis of the PCR fragments revealed that the wild-type transcript had a longer band of 412 bp. In contrast, the mutant exhibited only one band of 326 bp, with the 86 bp band being absent. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the mutant plasmid transcribed a mature mRNA product with exon 7 being skipped entirely (86 bp del, c.970_1055del, NM_022098) in the mature mRNA, suggesting that c.970–2 A > G leads to the abnormal splicing of XPNPEP3 in the absence of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. + +Upon admission, the patient received digoxin, milrinone, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, and spironolactone to enhance heart function and metoprolol to manage arrhythmias. Despite these interventions, she developed worsening edema, kidney failure, hypotension, and sustained ventricular tachycardia within 5 days. Her parents opted to transfer her to another facility for continued care. Tragically, the child passed away approximately 1 week after discharge. It is believed that the cause of death may originate from arrhythmias, as the child had ventricular tachycardia, which could lead to malignant arrhythmias and result in sudden cardiac death. Furthermore, the exacerbation of heart failure, likely due to complications from end-organ damage, may also have contributed to the outcome. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_325_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_325_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..779be324eb0274ebf4b7dcbf5a0096ea2e6bc063 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_325_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 12-year-old entire male Basset Hound presented with a 1 week history of tenesmus, bloody penile discharge and anorexia, and polyuria and polydipsia of 2 days’ duration.

No neurovascular symptoms or open wounds were noted. Surgical treatment was performed on the third day after the injury. Surgery was performed with the patient in the supine position. Reduction and fixation of the distal radius physeal fracture were performed to restore radial length prior to reduction of the humeroradial joint. The distal radius physeal fracture was reduced and fixed using steel wire-connected pins (JuNction, Arata, Japan) through closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Next, manual reduction of the humeroradial joint was performed; however, it was difficult to achieve the reduction position. It was considered that the inability to achieve reduction was the interposition of soft tissue within the humeroradial joint. The supracondylar humerus fracture showed no progression of dislocation during the reduction maneuver; therefore, open reduction of the humeroradial joint was performed. The tourniquet was inflated to 200 mmHg and used for 60 min. An open reduction of the radial head was performed through a posterior approach. With the posterior approach, triceps splitting is performed proximal to the olecranon, and as per the Boyd approach, the humeroradial joint was exposed by detaching the anconeus muscle from the radial side of the ulna distal to the olecranon. The annular ligament was incarcerated within the humeroradial joint, preventing reduction. A partial longitudinal incision was made through the annular ligament, allowing for easy reduction of the radial head. The absence of instability in the forearm during pronation and supination was confirmed following the reduction of the humeroradial joint. Reduction of the humeroradial joint resulted in an appropriate reduction position for the ulnar diaphyseal fracture. The ulnar diaphysis fracture was fixed with a titanium elastic nail (TEN) to prevent displacement. Steel wire-connected pins were used to fix a supracondylar humerus fracture. The postoperative X-rays showed a good reduction position. Postoperatively, a long arm splint was applied to the forearm in a supinated position, and no postoperative drainage was performed.

During three recorded intracranial EEG seizures, a pronounced spike was identified in electrodes located between the distal portion of the left temporal lobe and the parahippocampal gyrus, followed by propagation to the lateral temporal cortex (Fig. 1A). Subsequently, anterior temporal lobectomy was performed, encompassing the distal tip of the left temporal lobe, the basal region, and the middle and inferior temporal gyri (Fig. 1D and E). Intraoperative EEG recordings from the surface of the amygdala and hippocampus revealed no discernible spikes from the amygdala, with sporadic low-frequency spikes detected in the posterior aspect of the hippocampus. Therefore, the language-dominant hippocampus and amygdala were preserved to prevent postoperative verbal memory loss. + + +Postoperative MRI indicated no obvious neurological deficits. Focal aware seizures (FAS) recurred 4 months postoperatively; however, no focal impaired awareness seizures were observed 1 year postoperatively. During evaluation 1 year after surgery, the patient was classified as Engel Class Ib. There were no postoperative neurological abnormalities, and psychological tests showed no deterioration. + +Glu-CEST MRI was performed the day before intracranial EEG electrode placement. It delineated an elevation in glutamate concentration extending from the left temporal pole to the medial temporal lobe. Subsequently, a 1 × 8 strip electrode was positioned in the corresponding area, revealing a prominent spike in EEG activity at seizure onset from the electrode proximate to the region with heightened Glu concentration. The region exhibiting increased Glu concentration, as identified by Glu-CEST MRI, was encompassed within the resection area (Fig. 1D and E). Histopathological examination of the resected tissue revealed focal cortical dysplasia type IIa (FCD type IIa). + +FCD type IIa causes drug-resistant epilepsy and is characterized by histopathologic findings of dysmorphic neurons and absence of balloon cells. Complete resection of the focal area is expected to suppress seizures; however, MRI often shows no abnormalities. The resected area was associated with abnormal EEG activity during seizures and an elevated Glu concentration as detected by Glu-CEST MRI. + +In addition, Glu-CEST MRI revealed an increased Glu concentration within the hippocampal head, albeit at a lower magnitude than that in the left temporal pole (Fig. 1C and F). The highest Glu concentrations were observed in the tip of the temporal lobe, followed by the head of the hippocampus. + +The Glu-CEST results suggested that the residual seizures were caused by the preserved hippocampal head and may be useful for considering additional surgical treatment in the future. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3357_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3357_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e2604a261486cafc433b9cf921bbce960db94574 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3357_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +A 62-year-old female was referred to our hospital as a case of upper airway obstruction secondary to possible advanced thyroid cancer + Grade 5 dysphagia after five days of stay.

No pain, itching or nipple discharge were noted. The patient had no history of cancer and no specific family history but felt that the tumor was growing. Further immunohistochemistry investigations were recommended because a diagnosis of an invasive breast carcinoma does not exclude breast polymorphic invasive lobular carcinoma or cancer with syngenetic differentiation. The results of these investigations showed that ER, PR, HER2, E-cadherin, P120, CK5/6, and P40 were all negative, although a high expression of Ki-67 was noted. The results obtained from the local hospital that initially treated the patient showed that these immunohistochemistry results were not specific to the liquid obtained from the biopsy, with histological analysis revealing an aggressive cancer morphology. Following intradepartmental consultation, the patient was diagnosed with a highly aggressive breast cancer consistent with a triple-negative breast lesion. The patient decided to receive a new adjuvant treatment, although his relatives complained and asked for further treatment options as there were no other obvious symptoms due to the patient’s preexisting health conditions. This led to the patient seeking treatment at our hospital. An ultrasound examination carried out on admission showed that the larger gland was located below the nipple and measured 4.4 cm x 4.4 cm x 1.4 cm. Striped blood flow signals were observed in the region, with low echoes seen in the shallow fat layer measuring 1.1 cm x 0.5 cm.

Light microscopy showed a greater number of tumor cells and reduced stroma. The tumor cells were linear or trabecular, with some areas being monoline. The local lesions harbored a mixture of cells, with the tumor cells being large and containing fine chromatin and multiple mitotic images. The tumor cells exhibited deep staining and were disproportionate in size. Necrosis and bleeding were not observed.

Based on the above results the pathologic diagnosis was non-Hodgkin’s anaplastic large cell lymphoma in the right breast, ALK-positive. + +Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses were then performed using the two-color fusion probes IRF4 and DUPS22, obtained from Ambipycin Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China. Where possible, at least 100 nuclei were evaluated for each probe. The FISH analyses were evaluated and recorded using ISIS Digital Image Analysis version 5.0 (MetaSystems, Altusheim, Australia). To analyze the whole genome for imbalance, DNA was extracted from the FFPE material using the QIAmp DNA FFPE tissue kit (Qiagen, Lab Division, America) and processed using the Oncoscan™ FFPE express 3.0 kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Processing involved analysis of copy number aberrations (CNA) and constructing copy TuScan algorithms using Nexus Express for Oncoscan 3 software (Beijing Yuxin Biotechnology Co., China). The human reference genome GRCh37/hg19 was used for gains and deletions smaller than 100 Kb or containing less than 20 probes, and CNN-LOH for those smaller than 5000 Kb or containing deletion regions not considered in the analyses. Molecular cytogenetic analysis using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed that the vast majority of cells in the tissue sections had chromosomal breakpoints that affected the fusion of the IRF4 motif and DUPS22, and chromosomal breakpoints that affected the DUPS22 motif. We also detected an additional signal for the nonrecombinant allele, suggesting a gain in the DUPS22 locus. In addition, we observed a gain in the IRF4 locus without breaks. Based on these results and with reference to the current classification of lymphoma of the World Health Organization (WHO), we changed the diagnosis to “non-Hodgkin’s mesenchymal metaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-positive”. This malignancy was not associated with an IRF4/DUPS22 rearrangement. Chromosomal imbalance mapping using the Oncoscan™ Chromosomal Imbalance Mapping platform revealed mutations in the following genes: BCOR_p.Q600X, DNMT3A_p.F609fs, NOTCH1_p.P2320fs, and IDH2_p.R140Q.

Serological tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C were negative. Autoantibodies related to autoimmune liver disease, thyroid function, and ceruloplasmin were within the normal range. Physical examination showed no positive disease indicators. +The patient then underwent an imaging examination. A second ultrasound revealed multiple small irregularly shaped hypoechoic masses with slightly hyperechoic septae in segment 6 of the liver (S6), and a total size of approximately 6.0 × 5.5 cm. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed a cystic-solid lesion with honeycomb-like enhancement in the arterial phase, in which multiple disordered unreinforced tubular columnar areas were seen. No obvious papillary structure was found. The enhanced region was slowly cleared in the portal and delayed phases. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans showed a honeycomb-like cystic-solid lesion with a tubulocystic manifestation lacking well-defined borders in S6 and no dilation of the major intrahepatic bile duct in the background liver. The cystic components were low-density and showed no enhancement in the arterial phase. The solid components, which were septa or the cystic wall, were more enhanced than the normal hepatic parenchyma in the arterial and portal phases and were consistent with normal hepatic parenchyma in the equilibrium phase. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an irregular-shaped multicystic mass with a mixed signal shadow in S6. The lesion was revealed as an irregular tubular low-density area on T1-weighted images and a high-intensity area on T2-weighted images, which were interspersed with strips of slightly higher signal shadows. The signal of the solid component of the intermediate inclusion was not high on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), while the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) signal was high, indicating that the dispersion was not limited. The solid components of the lesion were enhanced in the late arterial phase by injecting the contrast medium, gadoxetic acid disodium. In the hepatobiliary phase, the whole lesion was low signal. The mass had no obvious invasion into adjacent structures and was thought to be benign. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed intrahepatic hybrid-density cystic-solid masses that did not communicate with the bile duct. Intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts were not dilated. No definite abnormal signal shadow was found in the bile duct cavity and gallbladder. Imaging examination did not reveal any bile duct stones . To exclude liver metastatic carcinoma caused by gastrointestinal malignancies, gastroscopy and colonoscopy were performed and no obvious abnormalities were detected.

The ulcer was characterized by a granulomatous center and a whitish, well-defined border with slight elevation . The base of lesion was firm in consistency on digital palpation. Extraorally, there was no evidence of lymph node involvement. A panoramic radiograph showed no evidence of bone involvement. The laboratory examinations showed that complete blood count (CBC) was within normal limits. Serologic tests for human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C also revealed negative findings. Based on the clinical examination, differential diagnosis included major aphthous ulcer, traumatic ulcer, granulomatous diseases, and infections. +Topical mouthwash with a mixture of amoxicillin 1.0 g and prednisolone 30 mg in 500 mL distilled water was used for 7 weeks with careful instruction to avoid possible stimuli, and triamcinolone acetonide 5 mg was also injected into lesion twice for 2 months. Despite subtle improvement after these conservative managements, the ulcer had not completely disappeared. Biopsy was eventually performed to rule out malignancy. +An incisional biopsy of the ulcer was carried out under local anesthesia (2% lidocaine with epinephrine 1:100,000). Histological examination revealed the presence of numerous epithelioid cells and multiple Langhans giant cells and Ziehl–Neelsen staining demonstrated acid-fast bacilli (AFB) . Based on histological findings, the oral ulcer was finally diagnosed as lingual TB. +The patient was immediately referred to a pneumologist for further examination and management. AFB stains of lesion were positive for M. tuberculosis. AFB cultures were positive for M. tuberculosis complex. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conducted on his sputum, and analysis confirmed the presence of M. tuberculosis.. Additional blood biochemistry revealed the increased values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (103 mm/h) and c-reactive protein (CRP) (2.54 mg/dL).

Since the attacks often developed after meals, especially at full stomach, she took care not to eat too much. At the age of 44, she was admitted to the emergency department for the first time due to acute pulmonary oedema following the aforementioned attacks. Urgent cardiac catheterization showed no significant coronary stenosis and typical apical LV ballooning , and finally she was diagnosed as having TTS. Later, at the age of 45 and 49, she developed the same clinical disorder. Interestingly, the LV wall motion abnormality was localized to the basal region at the second admission and diffusely at the last time (no images available). Moreover, during the second admission, acetylcholine (ACh) provocation testing for coronary spasm was performed with negative results. Although local LV asynergy disappeared spontaneously in each hospitalization, she had frequently suffered from the same attacks after meals and was referred to our hospital for further investigation. She did not have any oral medication during the TTS episodes. On admission, she had no subjective symptoms or objective signs in electrocardiogram (ECG) or echocardiographic examinations. However, abdominal ultrasonography for screening purposes detected a right adrenal mass of 35 mm × 35 mm in size and scintigraphy imaging showed high uptake of M-iodobenzylguanidine in the tumour . Furthermore, urinary catecholamine levels (especially normetanephrine) were markedly elevated . Since pheochromocytoma was highly suspected from these data, we paid attention not to perform any contrast studies that could cause adrenal crisis. This tumour was urgently removed surgically and histological diagnosis of norepinephrine-secreting pheochromocytoma was made . Ten days after the operation, when urinary catecholamine levels were normalized , we performed cardiac catheterization and ACh provocation testing. As shown in , intracoronary administration of ACh (20, 50, and 100 μg) into the left coronary artery (LCA) and that of ACh (25 and 50 μg) into the right coronary artery induced epicardial coronary spasm accompanied by chest pain and ischaemic ECG changes. Chest pain, ischaemic ECG changes, and myocardial lactate production were already noted at the timing of administration of 20 μg of ACh into the LCA before the occurrence of epicardial coronary spasm at 100 μg, indicating that microvascular spasm (MVS) preceded epicardial coronary spasm. Thus, we diagnosed that she had both epicardial coronary spasm and MVS, and initiated drug therapy with a calcium antagonist (benidipine 8 mg/day). After discharge from our hospital, she experienced no episode of postprandial attacks and her urinary catecholamine levels remained low, indicating that she was free of catecholamine surges from pheochromocytoma . She again underwent a scheduled follow-up ACh provocation testing at 18 months after the operation. Calcium antagonist was discontinued 72 h before the provocation testing.

Her weight and height were, respectively, of 55 Kg and 155 cm. A detailed history with particular emphasis on gynecological data was taken. The woman was virgo, had a laparotomic appendectomy in childhood, had no pregnancy, and had been in menopause since the age of 50 years, receiving medication for hypertension. No other clinically relevant datum resulted from her medical and family history. +There was no history of weight loss or loss of appetite. Bowel and bladder habits were normal. The physical examination (including rectal examination) showed a palpable abdominopelvic mass with abdominal tenderness. The woman reported an increasing abdominal girth during the last 2 months. During the clinical examination, the patient had also nausea and vomiting. At admission, she was tachycardic (95 bpm) and tachypneic (16 breaths per minute). Initial transabdominal ultrasound examination was performed in an emergency. A pelvic mass consisting of a uniloculated cyst of about 24 cm of maximum size with multiple small mobile hyperechoic internal lesions was observed . A solid and inhomogeneous structure of about 2 cm located in the inferior cystic wall was also observed . No fluid or ascites was detected. An expert operator continued the ultrasound examination showing extreme mobility of the endocyst formations to the movements impressed by the probe and a “honeycomb” aspect was observed with the use of tridimensional ultrasound (3D-USG) . No (typical/atypical) vascularization of the pelvic mass was detected at color Doppler velocimetry. Due to acute abdominal pain non-responsive to aggressive treatment with pain drugs, including a high dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAD) (Toradol, ketorolac tromethamine, 2 vials of 10 mg/ml ev) plus (Contramal, tramadol hydrochloride, 1 vial of 100 mg/2 ml), it was decided for emergency surgery.

It had the macroscopic aspect of the MCTO and appeared to contain citrine liquid and numerous, small and identical neoformations. A calcific parietal implant with hair with a near area of about one centimeter of papillary tissue was also detected at the inspection of the internal capsule . A biopsy was performed on this papillary structure for intra-operative histological examination. An intra-cystic area of squamous cell carcinoma was detected at the frozen section. Thus, a complete surgical staging for ovarian cancer, including total hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, infracolic omentectomy, pelvic and para-aortic node dissection, and peritoneal washing, was performed. No local and/or distant suspected lesion was detected at the direct exploration of the pelvis, and the low and high abdomen. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the fifth day. No short- and long-term intraoperative or postoperative complications were found. +The definitive histological examination confirmed the presence of an MCTO measuring 21 × 19 × 17 cm with multiple neoformations of adipose tissue of about 6 mm each. A unique calcific parietal implant with hair was also observed. A papillary area of about one centimeter was described at the macroscopic examination. A total intra-cystic squamous cell carcinoma of moderate differentiation (grading 2) was also confirmed at microscopy. No local and/or distant metastasis was detected in all samples (uterus, surface of the left ovary, right ovary, left and right tubes, omentum, 8 right iliac nodes, 7 left iliac nodes, and 6 aortic nodes) sent for definitive microscopic examination. No cancer cells were also detected at the cytologic examination of the intracystic fluid and of the peritoneal washing. Thus, a Ia stage ovarian cancer according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics was diagnosed. +After 30 days from hospital discharge, a computer tomography (CT) of the abdomen was performed confirming no disease.

She also lacked any drug allergies and was healthy in other aspects, and the results of routine laboratory tests were normal. In the anterior rhinoscopy, a mass on the mucosal surface was observed, which almost completely filled the right nasal cavity. On the left side, there was a very severe nasal septal deviation that almost reached the lateral wall of the left nasal cavity. The endoscopic exam of the case showed a huge middle turbinate on the right nasal cavity that compressed the mid-portion of the nasal septum and made it deviate to the left side.

Thus, the leukemic cells carried either the fusion transcript GTF2IP1-PDGFRB, or GTF2I–PDGFRB, or GTF2IP4-PDGFRB. Genomic PCR with the primers GTF2I-3317F1 and PDGFRB-1737R1 amplified a single 1200 bp fragment which by Sanger sequencing was shown to be a hybrid genomic DNA fragment in which intron 8 of PDGFRB is fused with either intron 22 of GTF2IP1, intron 32 of GTF2I, or intron 22 of GTF2IP4 . Additional interphase FISH experiments were performed to detect the GTF2I–PDGFRB fusion gene . BACs RP11-21I20 and RP11-137E8 were retrieved from the Human “32K” BAC Re-Array library (BACPAC Resources, ). RP11-21I20, the probe for the PDGFRB gene, mapped to band 5q32 (Position: chr5: 149,320,375–149,496,703; UCSC Genome Browser on Human February 2009 GRCh37/hg19 Assembly) and was labeled red . RP11-137E8, the probe for the GTF2I gene, mapped to band 7q11.23 (Position: chr7: 73,944,720–74,129,587) and was labeled green . Detailed information about the FISH procedure was given previously . Fluorescent signals were captured and analyzed using the CytoVision system (Leica Biosystems, Newcastle, UK). FISH analysis showed a fusion signal in 44 out of 100 examined interphase nuclei from bone marrow cells suggesting a GTF2I–PDGFRB fusion gene . Thus, FISH with specific probes for PDGFRB and GTF2I was crucial to show that a novel GTF2I–PDGFRB fusion gene had been formed . +Using the FusionCatcher software with the fastq files of the RNA sequencing data, an out-of-frame IKZF1–TYW1 fusion transcript was found . +RT-PCR with the primers IKZF1-469F1/TYW1-1282R1 amplified a 319 bp long cDNA fragment which by Sanger sequencing was shown to contain IKZF1–TYW1 . The fusion point thus detected was identical to that found by analysis of the RNA sequencing data using the FusionCatcher software . In the IKZF1–TYW1 transcript, exon 4 of IKZF1 (nt 642 in sequence with accession number NM_006060 version 6) was fused out-of-frame to exon 8 of TYW1 (nt 1131 in NM_018264 version 4) . +The IKZF1–TYW1 fusion gene would encode a putative truncated 159 aa IKZF1 protein containing the first 140 aa of IKZF1 (NP_006051) and 19 aa from the fused TYW1. This protein would not contain the functional domains of the normal IKZF1 protein. Alterations of IKZF1 (often deletions) are strongly associated with BCR-ABL1-positive as well as Ph-like ALL [, ]. +Additional interphase FISH experiments were performed to detect the IKZF1–TYW1 fusion gene using a home-made dual color dual fusion probe. The probes were made from commercial BACs which were purchased from BACPAC Resources Center . The probe for the IKZF1 gene was constructed from a pool of the clones RP11-813K3 (Accesion number AC020743; Position: chr7: 50157413–50339940) and RP11-95E2 (Accesion number AC018705; chr7: 50475184–50648153) and was labeled red . The probe for the TYW1 gene was constructed from a pool of the clones RP11-458F8 (Accesion number AC073335; Position: chr7: 66297269–66454983) and RP11-166O4 (Accesion number AC006480; Position: Chr7: 66699524–66859231) and was labeled green . +FISH analysis showed double fusion signals in 91 out of 100 examined interphase nuclei from white blood cells suggesting an IKZF1–TYW1 fusion gene . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_871_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_871_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2317e7e8338162bdee62022b03096225f5aaad5d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_871_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +An 85-year-old man visited our hospital with dysuria including urinary hesitancy, difficulty and pain during urination, and hematuria.

Whole body computed tomography revealed no enlarged lymph nodes or visceral metastases; prostate magnetic resonance imaging showed an unclear boundary between the prostatic urethra and the transition zone border, and decreasing signal intensity from the middle to the apex . Magnetic resonance imaging findings did not clearly indicate malignant disease. Urethrocystoscopy, performed to assess the prostatic urethra for hyperplasia or stenosis, revealed bulging irregular mucosa in the prostatic urethra ; urine cytology and culture were negative. The location of the lesion almost corresponded to that of the diagnostic positive biopsy. +TURP was subsequently performed for diagnosis as the PSA level was not elevated, and the differential diagnoses included radiation-induced inflammatory responses or hyperplasia rather than malignancy on magnetic resonance imaging findings.

At her initial hospitalization two weeks into the disease course, and at six weeks prior to rheumatology evaluation, the hospital service noted that she had decreased range of motion in her neck secondary to pain. Plain radiographic films of the cervical spine revealed no abnormalities, and she was discharged with a course of naproxen. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) offered only minimal relief of symptoms, which prompted an out-patient orthopedics community evaluation and resulted in diagnosis of 'gluteal strain' and bursitis. She was placed on propoxyphene/acetaminophen and cyclobenzaprine, but they did not improve her symptoms. +Due to the unremitting nature of our patient's symptoms two months into her illness, her pediatrician obtained laboratory studies and a bone scan which revealed abnormal uptake in the right seventh rib (possibly due to prior fracture), increased uptake in the left distal femur and anterior superior left tibial spine, and focal uptake at the facets of several thoracic vertebrae. Her erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 49 mm/hour and high-sensitivity C reactive protein was 44.7 mg/L. Concerned about infection or malignancy, our patient's physician readmitted her to our institution. She did not have, then or previously, a history of fever, lymphadenopathy, bleeding or easy bruisability, weight loss, gastrointestinal symptoms, cardiac murmur, or rashes. Stool guaiac results were negative, and an abdominal ultrasound showed no abnormalities. A complete blood count was without cytopenias except for mild normocytic anemia. +A rheumatological evaluation revealed an obese (body mass index (BMI) 42, greater than 97%) adolescent with findings of point tenderness in her bilateral inferior patella, lower sacrum, and anterior hips. She had a reduced range of motion with muscle spasms in her neck, but no psoriatic lesions or nail pitting. Her spinal symptoms were most severe in the morning and improved with movement and NSAID use. Her family history was positive for idiopathic iritis (father) and inflammatory bowel disease with spondyloarthritis (paternal aunt). A rheumatoid factor was non-reactive, and anti-nuclear antibody was not detected. Creatine kinase and aldolase levels were within normal limits. A HLA-B27 marker was present in our patient. Imaging studies were consistent with an inflammatory process: a hip ultrasound revealed bilateral hip effusions, and a lower extremity MRI revealed T2 abnormal signals in patellar tendon insertions and subcutaneous tissue anterior to the inferior aspect of the left patellar tendon. Prior to her rheumatology evaluation, our patient was given celecoxib (as prescribed by her family physician), which provided significant pain relief in her back and reduction of morning stiffness. Our pediatric rheumatologist diagnosed our patient with undifferentiated spondyloarthritis using the European Spondyloarthropathy Study Group (ESSG) classification criteria (inflammatory spinal pain, hip synovitis, positive family history of HLA-B27-associated diseases, and enthesopathy/enthesitis). The family and our pediatric rheumatologists opted to keep our patient on celecoxib and have close out-patient follow-up because her musculoskeletal pain decreased and her inflammatory markers improved, Although her hip, back, and knee pain improved, our patient continued to have persistent neck pain with symptoms of occipital neuralgia after three months of scheduled NSAID therapy. New plain radiographic imaging of the cervical spine revealed a reversal of the normal lordotic curvature, and a 10 mm distance between the odontoid and anterior arches of C1 had markedly increased since prior films . A computed tomography (CT) scan of the cervical spine showed evidence of bony erosion at the tip of the odontoid as well as mild rightward rotatory subluxation of C1, with moderate cervical stenosis at C1 and minimal flattening of the spinal cord . This was confirmed on MRI , which also demonstrated inflammation around the apical and transverse ligaments and adjacent pannus formation. There was no signal abnormality within the cord itself. +At this point, doctors were concerned about our patient's joint instability and referred her to the neurosurgery department. She had no recent history of travel, fever, pharyngitis, torticolis, or trauma. Results of a general examination showed our patient was obese but otherwise normal. She was awake and alert, with full strength throughout. Her left upper extremity was hyper-reflexive compared to her right upper extremity, and her right lower extremity was hyper-reflexive compared to her left lower extremity. Proprioception was intact. She had up-going toes bilaterally but no clonus or Hoffman sign. She had a steady gait with no sway on Romberg testing. Because clinical and radiographic evaluations showed evidence of atlantoaxial instability in the setting of undifferentiated spondyloarthritis, our neurosurgeons recommended a C1-2 fusion to our patient and her family. The doctors postulated that inflammation-mediated ligamentous laxity was causing joint instability but that ongoing infection did not cause the cervical spine disease (Grisel's syndrome). Her anti-inflammatory medication was stopped about one week prior to surgery. +After our patient was fiber-optically intubated with in-line stabilization, we placed needle electrodes for intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring. Then, we measured and recorded baseline somatosensory-evoked potentials, motor-evoked potentials, and free-run electromyography (EMG) readings from the upper and lower extremities. Our patient was then positioned prone using the Mayfield three-point fixation system and a Jackson table; there was no change in her electrophysiology monitoring after positioning. Using fluoroscopy, we checked alignment of the cervical spine, finding a decrease in the atlantodental interval from pre-operative studies. Then, we made a midline incision over the spinous processes and dissected, in standard sub-periosteal fashion, the paraspinous muscle from the spinous processes and laminae. Subsequently, we isolated and bilaterally divided the C2 nerve roots and clearly identified bilaterally the C1 lateral masses, C2 pars, and C1-2 facet complexes. Under fluoroscopic guidance, we placed C1 lateral mass screws: a 4.0 × 34 mm screw on the right and 4.0 × 32 mm screw on the left (Vertex; Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Memphis, TN USA). Then, we placed bilateral, crossing, 3.5 × 24 mm translaminar C2 screws. We performed a C1 laminectomy to ensure that the cervical cord was well decompressed; decorticated the bone; and placed the C1 laminectomy autograft over the denuded surfaces using bone morphogenetic protein (Infuse; Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Memphis, TN USA) and bone matrix (Mastergraft; Medtronic Sofamor Danek) to supplement the graft. We then placed the rods, performed the final tightening, and closed the wound in a layered fashion. Intra-operative-evoked potentials revealed no changes during the case. There was no spontaneous EMG activity. In the immediate post-operative period after waking from general anesthesia, our patient was at her baseline examination levels. +At two weeks after surgery, our patient was restarted on celecoxib. Poor wound healing and drainage required antibiotic coverage and delayed initiation of immunomodulation. At four weeks after surgery, our patient received a methylprednisolone infusion (1 g) and was started on adalimumab (40 mg subcutaneously every other week (actual text of hospital formulary)) eight weeks after her operation. She has had relief from neck pain and remains neurologically intact except for soft signs of myelopathy, which were found pre-operatively. There was no evidence of abnormal motion between the C1 and C2 vertebrae or evidence of instrumentation failure on dynamic cervical spine X-rays . While maintained on adalimumab, our patient has had intermittent complaints of hip and knee pain exacerbated by weather changes. Inflammatory markers have remained within normal limits since our patient started adalimumab (even during mild clinical flares). She has not developed psoriasis and there has been no evidence of sacroiliitis or irritable bowel disease (IBD) on MRI scans during a two-year follow up period. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_961_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_961_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..26d88eb0c3749eb384c1b8db9526d747dae02f5b --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_961_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 2-year history of primary infertility after marriage. +The patient was a 28-year-old female with a 2-year history of primary infertility after marriage.

She had past medical history including cholecystectomy and schizophrenia, and no remarkable family history. Her respiratory rate was 30 breaths/minute and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 90% with oxygen at 10 L/minute. Her breath sound in her right chest was diminished. Her pulse rate was 130 beats/minute and her blood pressure was 88/55 mmHg. Her extremities were cold with sweat present, suggesting she was in a shock status. A focused assessment sonography for trauma (FAST) revealed hemoperitoneum in the pelvic space and a hemothorax in the right side of her chest. Her consciousness levels were 12 points (E3, V4, M5) according to the Glasgow Coma Scale at first contact and no coarse paralysis of limbs was observed. She was brought to our hospital by a doctor-helicopter, undergoing initial fluid resuscitation and respiratory assist with a bag valve mask (BVM). +Her hemodynamics deteriorated remarkably with a pulse rate of 120 beats per minute and 50 mmHg systolic blood pressure on arrival. SpO2 was below 90% under respiratory assist with BVM. She was given 6 units of type O Rh plus red blood cells (RBC). A 7-French aortic occlusion catheter (Rescue Balloon®, Tokai Medical Products, Aichi, Japan) was inserted from her right femoral artery and was inflated with 20 ml distilled water to maintain her systolic blood pressure above 90 mmHg. A chest X-ray showed pneumothorax and pulmonary contusion in her right lung . A pelvis X-ray revealed an unstable fracture . The FAST showed a moderate hemothorax in the right side of her chest and a small amount of hemoperitoneum in Morison’s pouch and Douglas pouch. A 28-French chest drain was inserted, and preperitoneal pelvic packing (PPP) was performed to control bleeding from the unstable pelvic fracture, followed by application of a pelvic binder. A whole-body contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan was performed. The chest CT scan revealed massive lung contusion with major active extravasation of contrast media in the lower lobe of her right lung and moderate lung contusion in the lower lobe of her left lung . The abdominal CT revealed liver injuries with extravasation of contrast media, as well as massive hematoma in an erector spinae muscle with extravasation of contrast media and fractures of transverse process of lumbar vertebra . The pelvic CT confirmed multiple pelvic fractures involving moderate hematoma with extravasation of contrast media in retroperitoneal pelvic space . +The laboratory data on initial arrival are shown in Table . The Injury Severity Score (ISS) in this case was 48 and the probability of survival was calculated as 29.1%. We first decided to perform damage control thoracotomy since the right severe pulmonary contusion was thought to be a main bleeding source based on CT. Hemorrhage influx into the lumen of our patient’s trachea from the right pulmonary contusion was observed in a tracheal tube when she returned to the operation room (OR) in our emergency department (ED) from the CT room. A double lumen tracheal tube was replaced with a single lumen tracheal tube to prevent blood influx into healthy lung areas before emergency thoracotomy in a supine position. The amount of bleeding in the right thoracic cavity was approximately 1500 ml. The main sources of bleeding in her chest were the lung contusion area of the lower lobe of her right lung and multiple rib fractures. Intrathoracic packing with surgical gauze was performed as a temporary hemostasis to control bleeding from the sites of fractures of ribs. Since the right lung contusion had extended to near the hilum of lung , the hilum of lung was clamped for temporary hemostasis of the lung. At that time, her body temperature was 35.2 °C, base excess and pH of arterial blood gas analysis (BGA) were 10.5 mmol/L and 7.099, respectively, and a persistent oozing of blood from a non-surgical site was recognized. Therefore, we decided to perform wide wedge resection of the lung using a surgical stapling device as a DCS instead of an anatomical lobectomy. We converted the hilum clamp to a limited clamp to the injured lobe with two Satinsky blood vessel clamps. The vessel clamps were left in the right thoracic cavity, clamping proximal to suture lines. Then, therapeutic intrathoracic packing for hemorrhage from multiple rib fractures was performed. Surgical packing gauzes were mainly put in the dorsal and lower side in right thoracic cavity in order to maintain respiratory function of the upper and middle lobes of her right lung, and the vessel clamps were stabilized with additional surgical towels. After the placement of a chest drain, a temporary vacuum packing chest closure was performed and DCS was finished (total surgical time was 55 minutes). +After the DCS for the chest, TAE was performed for severe liver injuries including medial segment and right lobe with gelatin sponge. Furthermore, her left subcostal artery, left first and fourth lumbar arteries, right first to fourth lumbar arteries, right superior gluteal artery, bilateral iliolumbar arteries, right obturator artery, and left lateral sacral artery were embolized in the same fashion (total procedure time was 118 minutes). Meanwhile, her respiratory status worsened including decreased partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (P/F) ratio and elevation of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) on arterial blood gas. In the intensive care unit (ICU), her respiratory functions deteriorated with a P/F ratio below 50: pCO2 on BGA over 70 mmHg, pH of 7.099, and base deficit of − 12 mmol/L. Since a ventilator was no longer sufficient to maintain her respiratory condition, VV-ECMO was initiated as a lung assist: FiO2 1.0, oxygen flow 2.0 L/minute, and veno-venous (VV) blood flow 4.5〜5.0 L/minute . A bronchial block balloon was inserted into her right lower bronchus to reduce pressure to the suture lines of the lung. Blood and clots in the other side of the trachea and bronchus were toileted with a bronchoscope. Her hemodynamics and respiratory function improved gradually with these treatments. A blood transfusion continued to maintain the following: hemoglobin (Hb) > 9.0 g/dl, fibrinogen > 150 mg/dl, and platelet > 10 × 104/μl. The total blood transfusion for 24 hours included 82 units of RBC, 136 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and 70 units of platelet concentrate (PC). +The planned reoperation for her chest and pelvis under VV-ECMO was performed on day 2 . When Satinsky blood vessel clamps were cautiously removed, there was a slight oozing of blood from the suture line at the resection site of the lower lobe of her right lung. The vessel forceps were reclamped and the stump was interruptedly sutured with two pairs of Teflon pledgets for hemostasis. We closed her chest with two chest drains placed following additional suture for hemorrhage from the multiple rib fractures area . Since slight bleeding continued from the right side of her pelvic retroperitoneal space after removal of PPP gauze, repacking and external fixation for pelvic fracture were also performed. On day 3, RBC and PC were appropriately transfused as our patient’s Hb and platelets were decreased due to VV-ECMO. Her respiratory function was completely dependent on VV-ECMO. Fluid infusion was restricted and a diuretic was administered to make her run on the dry side and her bloody and mucinous phlegm was deliberately removed by a bronchoscope. On day 5, the PPP gauze was removed and the wound was definitively closed. Her respiratory condition improved gradually, and P/F ratio became over 250, and her pCO2 level was within the normal limit when FiO2 and blood flow of VV-ECMO were decreased. The VV-ECMO circuit was withdrawn and the bronchial block balloon was removed on day 7. Our patient’s clinical course with intervention and examination and the change in lactate levels and P/F ratio until day 8 are shown in Fig. . On day 15, her respiratory condition was improved to the desired extent with no need for a ventilator . Pneumonia and right intrathoracic infection subsequently occurred and were treated by antibiotics. She needed another 45 days of rehabilitation to be able to walk independently, and was transferred to the psychiatric ward of our hospital on day 75. \ No newline at end of file
