The patient’s medical history included endometriosis from the age of 25 without specific therapy and subarachnoid hemorrhaging due to the rupturing of an aneurysm at the age of 43. The patient was diagnosed with hydrocephalus after she underwent surgery for the subarachnoid hemorrhaging, and an LP shunt was inserted. Her medical history also included kidney stones, schizophrenia, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus at the age of 50. We confirmed the route of the LP shunt on a CT scan, which had been conducted at another clinic. It revealed that the LP shunt had been placed from her left flank to Douglas’ pouch . Under general anesthesia, laparoscopic right adnexectomy was performed. A 12-mm trocar was inserted at the umbilicus, and three 5-mm trocars were inserted 3 cm inside the right and left upper anterior iliac crests and on the midline of the lower abdomen. The abdominal pressure was set at 8 mmHg. The ovarian tumor was located in Douglas’ pouch and had adhered to the back of the uterus. Also, the head of the shunt tube was located in Douglas’ pouch and was an obstacle to the operation. We temporarily shifted the head of the shunt tube from Douglas’ pouch to the vesicouterine pouch to prevent damage to the shunt and ensure that the operation could be conducted smoothly .

The biopsy features were consistent with the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with confirmed KRAS mutation (G12D) and loss of CDKN2A/B. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on Reolysin-treated or untreated HCT116 colon cancer cells as a positive and negative control for reovirus staining, respectively . Viral replication was detected using antibodies against the reovirus protein, as the presence of viral RNA may not necessarily imply infectious virus particles. A polyclonal antibody, raised in goats, was derived from mature reovirus viral capsid proteins . Importantly, IHC analyses of biopsy specimens from a pancreatic cancer patient revealed strong positivity for reoviral protein and activated caspase 3 within the tumor . Biopsies from pancreatic cancer patients frequently contain benign fat, which may serve as an excellent internal negative control. Images of the stained fat cells were negative for reovirus and active caspase-3 and were from the same tissues that displayed positive staining for reovirus and active caspase-3 . Serial section analysis showed a very high concordance of reoviral protein and activated caspase-3, which is characteristic of a productive reovirus infection. In addition, co-expression analysis demonstrated that the reoviral protein and active caspase-3 were being expressed in many of the same cancer cells . Our preclinical studies with Reolysin identified induction of ER stress and NOXA to be key determinants for Reolysin-mediated apoptosis [, ]. In agreement with the induction of active caspase-3, we also noted a significant increase in the expression of GRP78/BIP, which is commonly induced following ER stress and NOXA in the biopsy sample following Reolysin and gemcitabine treatment . +Toxicities were manageable and included grade 1 fever likely due to Reolysin and grade 3 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia due to gemcitabine.

The patient, a medical doctor, has a normal blood pressure range, is not affected by any metabolic disease and is a non-cigarette smoker. For the evaluation of her occlusal muscle activity, a bilateral electromyography (EMG) of her masseter muscle was recorded using an evaluation system of mandibular movement (K6-I; Myotronics, Seattle, WA, USA) and Duo-trode surface Ag-AgCl electrodes (Duo-trode; interelectrode distance: 19.5mm, Myotronics). EMG data were recorded at a sampling rate of 240Hz and amplified at a time constant of 0.06 seconds. For the evaluation of her muscle activity, voluntary dental clenching was executed and recorded during swallowing. In accordance with the dental diagnostic protocol , a preliminary evaluation of the patient’s myoelectric activity in dental occlusion was performed through muscle EMG in order to assess their functional balance. Registered values showed a remarkable functional asymmetry of masseter muscles, 23mV for her left masseter and 103mV for her right masseter . According to the expressed electromyographic values, muscular activity was symmetrized by applying a 15 minutes transcutaneous stimulation of trigeminal motor branches at low frequency for elevator occlusal muscles and at medium frequency for submandibular antagonist muscles. This method allowed detection of the functional trajectory of occlusal elevator muscles and to record a symmetric craniomandibular relation, positioning a self-hardening material between the dental arches. The same material was used to make a cusp bite modeled on the inferior dental arch named orthotic-syntropic bite for its peculiar use of electrostimulation. When the orthotic was applied, electromyographic control was repeated to verify occlusal myoelectric balance. Registrations have documented substantially equal values: 57mV for left masseter muscle and 61mV for right masseter . Immediately after, the patient was submitted to pupillometric and hemodynamic examinations in habitual occlusion first and with the orthotic soon after. +For pupillary diameter measurement, we used a computerized corneal topographer MODI02 software 2005 LITE (CSO, Florence, Italy), made of a survey section by Placido disk 24 loops, camera sensor charge-coupled device (CCD) 1/3 inch and a claim support. The instrument presents, during the pupillar acquisition phases, a constant lighting of the disk and a 56mm distance of work. The points measured during data acquisition are 6.144, with a model elaboration higher than 100.000 points. Registered pupillometric analysis showed a remarkable right and left baseline asymmetry, respectively 4.98mm and 4.40mm , whereas in the occlusal rebalance condition an equivalent pupil diameter was registered, 4.13mm right pupil and 4.10mm left pupil . Indeed, pupillometric data analysis registered in occlusal rebalance shows a more suitable reduction of the basal diameter, with clear right side decrease, relating to higher occlusal myoelectric values. +For blood flow computerized examination, a GE HealthCare echograph, Voluson E8 Expert model, was used, with a 3D-4D-color-power Doppler volumetric probe.

In fact, the orthotic application reduces on the left the S-D index of 70.94 and equilibrates the values of both vertebral arteries, 3.40 (left) and 3.21 (right), respectively. Whereas, in the ED index, diastolic flow increase of 12.06 cm/second of the left V.a. makes the values of both arteries equal, 12.70 (left) and 12.16 (right) respectively. Moreover, in the PI index it is possible to observe that the different average flow between the right (1.0) and left (2.88) vertebral arteries is totally cancelled in occlusal rebalance, with perfectly equal values (1.23). Also the PS Index confirms the previous results because a general reduction of hemodynamic values is registered both in carotid and vertebral arteries after orthotic application. In fact, the systolic hematic peak, expressed in cm/second, shows decreases of 2.05 on the right and of 7.69 on the left in the carotid arteries, while in vertebral arteries the decreases are of 7.42 on the right and of 4.37 on the left.

He received 31 Gy of basicranial radiation for the brain metastases. Given that he was found to harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, he was also treated with the EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) gefitinib (250 mg/day). As a result of the development of adverse effects including fatigue, dermatitis, and liver dysfunction, however, the dose of gefitinib was initially reduced by half and treatment with the drug was subsequently discontinued after a total of 2 months. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the size of the original lesion and the number of brain metastases had increased. Treatment with the combination of cisplatin (125 mg) and pemetrexed (0.75 mg) was initiated. After 8 weeks, this regimen was switched to vinorelbine (32 mg) and docetaxel (80 mg) because of the development of adverse effects. This latter treatment was also not tolerated well, and so administration of the EGFR-TKI erlotinib (150 mg/day) was initiated.

However, 2 months after his first visit to our clinic, he was referred to us again for the treatment of bilateral corneal ulcers, which were confirmed by slitlamp microscopy . Slight stromal edema, ulceration with an opaque epithelium, and a shallow anterior chamber were also observed in the right eye. The next day, the anterior chamber of the right eye was flat, and so we treated this eye with a bandage soft contact lens. The right anterior chamber remained flat, however, and the patient was diagnosed with noninfectious corneal perforation of unknown cause and was prepared for tectonic keratoplasty. The oral administration of erlotinib was interrupted in preparation for general anesthesia, and the patient was treated with gatifloxacin eyedrops only. Two days later, the anterior chamber of his right eye had spontaneously reformed and the epithelial defects of both eyes had healed . The keratoplasty was therefore canceled and we monitored the patient carefully, but his corneal condition remained stable.

On clinical examination, pressure pain of the proximal tibia, decreased extension strength to Janda 3/5, and inability to raise the extended knee were noticed. This maintained extensor function is the result of an intact medial and lateral retinaculum.

X-ray showed the rotation hinge prosthesis without loosening signs, the one-third tubular plate, and the dislocated tibial tubercle fragment indicating persistent Felix IV C fracture . +Reconstruction of the knee joint’s extension system was planned. After preparation of the subcutaneous tissue, the dislocated tibial tubercle appeared surrounded by extensive metallosis presumably induced by the contact between the one-third tubular plate and the tibial prosthesis.

Subsequently, the ventral surface of the tibial prosthesis was exposed . Reconstruction of the extension system should be performed by the implantation of MUTARS attachment tube made of polyethylene terephthalate.

Social history revealed that the patient was an emancipated minor, smoking a pack of cigarettes per day, drinking 3-5 beers per month, and a regular user of marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids. He also reported smoking crack cocaine once at age of 13. Physical examination revealed normal cranial nerve examination, tachycardia, hyperventilation, and an erythematous lesion resembling a canker sore in the lateral tongue with surrounding erythema. Blood pressure was 137/83 mmHg, temperature was 37.3 ºC, pulse rate was 75 beats per minute, and respiratory rate was 12 breaths per minute. Laboratory testing revealed no electrolyte abnormalities. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed ST segment elevation in leads V1, V2, V3, and V4, non-specific ST, T-wave changes, and T-wave inversion. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was mildly elevated. Cardiac enzymes were 3.2 ng/ml. Echocardiography revealed hypokinetic systolic dysfunction of the left side of the heart. Liver function tests were within normal limits. Aspirin was immediately administered to the patient and he was admitted to the cardiac catheterization lab, where no blockages in the coronary vasculature were seen. He was given a diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, after that catecholamine levels were seen to be elevated and urine drug screen was negative. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1251_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1251_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5db19b9c4da76b524c4e141b8893ed08d5054a29 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1251_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 67-year-old man with a history of intrinsic asthma, but who otherwise had very good health condition, was admitted to our intensive care unit with an acute asthma attack.

Oxygen, 4 l min−1, resulted in 95% SpO2, but blood gas analysis showed a respiratory acidosis (pH 7.29, pCO2 55 mmHg, pO2 84 mmHg, HCO3−26.4, BE −1.6). Chest X-ray was normal, but severe expiratory wheezing could be heard on both lungs. The patient was on theophylline and formoterole/budesonide. Other relevant comorbidities were diabetes type 2 treated with metformin and coronary heart disease (1-vessel disease). He repeatedly inhaled salbutamol, ipatropiumbromide, and budesonide and received intravenous prednisolone, reproterole (bolus plus continuous), and magnesium. The patient was directly put on non-invasive ventilation (NIV; EVITA-4, Draeger®), facilitated with a cumulative dose of 4 mg morphine. While at first sight, the therapeutic regimen seemed to work and an ongoing deterioration with increasing pCO2-levels and signs of respiratory exhaustion were recognized. The patient’s vigilance became more and more impaired, and respiratory acidosis was later accompanied by a slight metabolic acidosis (blood gas analysis before ECCO2R: pH 7.24, pCO2 61 mmHg, pO2 289 mmHg, HCO3−26.1, BE −3.0). Meanwhile, other possible contributing causes, like pneumonia, lung embolism, and cardiac attack, were ruled out. +After careful consideration, and with the consent of the patient and his family, a ECCO2R system was prepared. Under non-invasive ventilation conditions and local anesthesia, a 22 French double lumen cannula (Twinport®, Novalung, Heilbronn, Germany) was placed in the right upper jugular vein under sonographic guidance. The system was started with a blood flow of 1 l min−1 and a sweep gas flow of 1 l min−1 oxygen, (ILA-activve®, Xenios, Heilbronn, Germany). Due to the respiratory effort of the patient along with hypovolemia, blood flow initially fluctuated between 0.6 and 1.5 l min−1. Fluid repletion was therefore conducted with balanced crystalloids combined with albumin to achieve a better intravascular effect. With the circuit running, a rapid improvement in almost all former deranged qualities was noticed: breath rate decreased from 40 to 16 per minute, SpO2 rose to 100%, and pCO2 was intentionally lowered very slowly (with 2 l min−1 sweep gas flow). Due to the sudden relief, the patient fell asleep for a few hours and NIV was down-graded to nasal oxygen (4 l min−1). Three hours after starting the ECCO2R circuit, blood gas analysis was normal (pH 7.39, pCO2 44 mmHg, pO2 93 mmHg, SpO2 97%, BE 1.2). On day two, the patient was put on oral prednisolone (50 mg day−1). There was no more dyspnea or wheezing and both, nasal oxygen and sweep gas flow, could be reduced. Early mobilization and physiotherapy was started the very same day. Thirty-four hours after initiating the ECCO2R system, the patient was completely weaned, and the cannula could be removed without any complication. On day 4, the patient could be discharged from the ICU without need for supplemental oxygen and 6 days later, he left the hospital without any impairment. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1275_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1275_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c3299fcf8b4078dacf779af242b8919e81de2adf --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1275_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 47-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital complaining of abdominal pain.

On arrival at the hospital, her blood pressure was 93/67 mmHg, pulse 78 beats per minute, body temperature 36.7 °C, and Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13/15 (E3V4M6), with loss of consciousness. She had severe tenderness over the entire abdomen without rebound or guarding. An arterial blood gas analysis on room air showed a pH of 7.535, pCO2 of 28.1 mmHg, pO2 of 107 mmHg, HCO3 of 23.6 mmHg, base excess of − 5.1, and lactate of 10 mg/dl. Blood tests showed a mildly elevated white blood cell count of 10,950/μl, urea of 27.9 mg/dl, and creatinine of 5.59 g/dl, which was high for a dialysis patient, creatine kinase of 67 U/L, and C-reactive protein of 0.38 which was almost normal. Computed tomography (CT) revealed extensive portal vein gas and intestinal emphysema in the ileum and ascending colon. . The patient was diagnosed with NOMI and underwent emergency surgery. There was no intestinal fluid contamination in the abdominal cavity, but there was a moderate accumulation of serous ascites. The serosa of the ascending colon to cecum [Fig. A(a)] and terminal ileum [Fig. B(a)] were red in areas, but there was no obvious necrosis. Intraoperative ICG imaging with 5 mg intravenous ICG administration showed a granular distribution of the fluorescent dye (fine granular pattern) in the ascending colon to cecum [Fig. A(b)] and a poorly fluorescent lesion except around blood vessels (perivascular pattern) in the terminal ileum [Fig. B(b)] . Because the serosal side of the intestine was not grossly necrotic, we decided to manage the patient conservatively and only perform a second-look surgery if there were clinical, blood, and CT findings suggestive of necrosis the next day, and so bowel resection was not performed. Postoperatively, prostaglandin E1 was injected intravenously at 0.05 ug/kg/min. A contrast-enhanced CT performed the day after the surgery showed good blood flow in the ascending colon and ileum, and abdominal findings and blood tests had not worsened; therefore, a second-look surgery was not performed. Intraoperatively, the intestinal emphysema disappeared and the serous membrane color tended to improve, so postoperative open abdomen management was not performed and the abdomen was closed by conventionally. The acute postoperative course was uneventful; however, the patient required prolonged hospitalization for diabetes control. On POD 24, the patient suddenly passed a large quantity of bloody stool. An emergency colonoscopy revealed a longitudinal ulcer in the ascending colon to cecum , and a deep ulcer, with exposed blood vessels, in the terminal ileum . However, since there was no active bleeding, we decided to treat the patient conservatively with red blood cell transfusion alone, without emergency endoscopic treatment or surgery. On POD25, a large amount of blood was again found in her stool, and she went into shock. She received a massive blood transfusion and underwent an emergency laparotomy. The patient was in a state of shock and required urgent treatment. Although intravenous radiology was a treatment option, hemostasis by laparotomy was chosen, because the CT and endoscopy of the previous day showed that the bleeding site was in the terminal ileum, hemostasis by surgery was easy, and the patient was ready for surgery quickly. A large amount of blood in the colon and small intestine was seen through the serous membrane, suggesting a severe bleed. The terminal ileum wall 25 cm from the ileocecal valve was firm and thickened, but there were no obvious changes on the serous surface of the rest of the small intestine [Fig. B (a)]. The thickened terminal ileum was the most likely site of bleeding, and the mesenteric vessels in the area were first ligated to stop bleeding. Next, an incision was made in the terminal ileum, and intraoperative endoscopy was performed . This confirmed the presence of a deep longitudinal ulcer in the terminal ileum, where the origin of the bleeding was expected to be located [Fig. B(b)]. The extent of intestinal resection was determined after confirming that ulceration was present only in the terminal ileum and ascending colon to the cecum, with no ulcerative lesions on the oral side from the deep longitudinal ulcer in the terminal ileum . Right hemicolectomy including the terminal ileum of the bleeding ulcer lesion was performed and an ileo-transverse colon anastomosis was performed by hand. The resected specimen showed extensive mucosal erosion of the ascending colon to cecum and a deep longitudinal ulcer with exposed vessels in the terminal ileum . Thirty cm of the terminal ileum and 20 cm of the ascending colon to cecum was resected . Her postoperative course after the second surgery was uneventful, and she was discharged on the 28th day after the second surgery.

The pre-operative assessment including an ECG did not demonstrate any abnormalities and her past medical history was uneventful while she had a normal level of physical activities including sports. The anesthetic and scoliosis surgery was uncomplicated with the patient maintaining good O2 levels and blood pressure while the intraoperative neuromonitoring showed stable motor and sensory potentials throughout. Her initial post-operative course was without incident until post-operative day 2 when she had episodes of acute de-saturation which prompted USG Doppler for bilateral lower limbs and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). While both the studies ruled out any evidence of pulmonary embolism, CTPA revealed right heart strain pattern and an enlarged right side of the heart. A subsequent 2D echocardiography revealed a large atrial septal defect (ASD) which had remained asymptomatic up to that point. In addition, the CTPA demonstrated a lateral breech at the left T10 pedicle screw level with the screw tip being in close proximity to the aorta. A multidisciplinary team meeting was held where it was decided to prioritize cardiac management for ASD and keep the malpositioned screw under observation with removal planned for a later date. An ASD repair procedure was performed and this was uneventful with the patient making a good recovery. +After recovery from the cardiac procedure, a repeat computed tomography (CT) scan was performed to plan removal of the screw; the CT scan showed the position of the left T10 screw in close vicinity of the aorta . To determine the exact position of the screw tip in relation to the aorta, an angiogram and an intravascular ultrasound was done which showed no evidence of intra-luminal extension of the screw tip. In addition, a transesophageal ultrasound was performed and this ruled out any extra-luminal contact with the aorta. Two years following the primary scoliosis correction, it was decided to proceed with removal of the spinal instrumentation with the vascular surgeon and intervention radiologists being on standby. The midline longitudinal scar was reopened and the spine was exposed across the previously operated segments from T3-T12. A solid posterior spinal fusion was noted across the previously operated levels which allowed the spinal instrumentation to be removed without compromising the surgical outcome of scoliosis correction. Intraoperative neuro-monitoring was used and the procedure was uncomplicated. The fusion mass was re-grafted using allograft bone.

Our patient received a pleural drainage, which initially produced nearly 3 liters of chyle per 24 hours. A computed tomography (CT) scan depicted enlarged lymph nodes in the cervical, axillary and mediastinal region, and suspected splenic involvement with several hypodense lesions. Taking the findings into account, our patient was diagnosed with a right-sided chylothorax caused by a concomitantly diagnosed CLL, stage Binet B or Rai II. +The chylothorax represented a major complication of the CLL, and so immunochemotherapy consisting of fludarabine (25 mg/m2 on days one to three), cyclophosphamide (250 mg/m2 on days one to three) and rituximab (375 mg/m2 on day one) was initiated. Our patient received four courses, repeated every four weeks. Since the therapeutic effect of reduced dietary intake on chylothorax had been described previously, our patient received total parenteral nutrition for two weeks, starting with the first cycle of the immunochemotherapy. The chylous effusion disappeared nearly completely, and the chest drain could be removed after 10 days. After two weeks an enteral low-fat diet enriched with medium-chain triglycerides was started, to continue therapy on an out-patient basis.

Radiation induces an inflammatory response which can result in an obliteration of the disrupted thoracic duct . However, up to eight weeks after completion of the radiotherapy the chylothorax still persisted with continued requirement for regular pleural tapping. +Finally our patient agreed to a surgical intervention. A supradiaphragmal ligation of the thoracic duct via a right muscle sparing thoracotomy was carried out. In addition, a decortication of his right lung was necessary because, during his surgery, a pleural fibrosis was diagnosed.

She was treated with zonisamide and then topiramate with good control of the seizures. A previous EEG showed diffuse excessive fast activity. Brain MRI showed mild cerebellar atrophy . +The “hand tremor” was later identified as myoclonus and worsened during her high school years, with prominent involvement of her upper limbs. She was treated with clonazepam with moderate benefit. At her last evaluation, she displayed multifocal myoclonus at rest, mostly involving her face and distal upper limbs, mild action myoclonus at target, and no clear stimulus sensitivity. There were only very mild cerebellar signs (including mild saccadic pursuits, dysdiadochokinesia, and appendicular dysmetria) with no significant gait impairment . Patient’s cognitive profile was not formally assessed but she presented a decline over the years affecting her school career. Her parents were both from Antigua. There was no consanguinity in the family and no family history of seizures or other neurological conditions. Written authorization for the acquisition of the video for publication for scientific purposes was signed by the patient. +Previous genetic testing, including 21 genes of progressive myoclonic epilepsy and Dentatorubro-Pallidoluysian Atrophy (DRPLA) expansion, were negative. Targeted gene testing of NUS1 revealed a novel missense mutation of the NUS1 gene, c.868C>T (p.Arg290Cys), initially classified as a variant of unknown significance (VUS). The variant was not found in large population datasets and was absent in her parents (de novo). Therefore, the p.Arg290Cys was re-classified as likely pathogenic (ACMG criteria: PM1, PM2, PM5, PM6, PP3). This variant affects the same residues reported in previous cases of CDG with recessive mode of inheritance (p.R290H). We hypothesize that the different aminoacidic change in our case (p.R290C) may have a more profound impact on an important domain of the NUS1 protein due to the biochemical differences between Arginine and Cysteine, compared to Arginine and Histidine. +To the best of authors’ knowledge and as per Genetic Testing Registry (GTR, ) there are no gene panels for the myoclonic epilepsy in the US that include NUS1. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1520_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1520_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b8aa41defa96527d70a1af835c68571307fb2312 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1520_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 48-year-old woman with a non-tender firm mass in the right breast was admitted to an affiliated hospital of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in September 2008.

In July 2023, the patient had vague abdominal pain, so a comprehensive examination, tests and an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound were performed. The abdominal ultrasound detected a 3.5 cm lesion in the right kidney. To examine the lesion in more detail, we recommended computed tomography (CT) with and without contrast, and a 4 cm mass with enhancement and necrosis was reported . Based on the history of CLL, we recommended an ultrasound-guided core biopsy of the renal mass. The patient's pathology confirmed RCC .

Starting 5 days prior to admission, the patient’s shoulder and neck displayed a resting tremor, which became increasingly severe, with the limbs beginning to move uncontrollably. The patient’s vital signs were stable, with no complaints of headache, fever, blurred vision or mental disorder. Myodynamic examination and deep tendon reflexes in both legs were normal, and the Babinski reflexes were suspiciously positive. Significant fluctuation of blood creatinine levels (predominantly due to inadequate dialysis), along with altered hyperthyroidism [intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels of almost 3200 pg/mL], were reported 1 week ago with no accompanying history of hypertension, DM, respiratory tract infection, fever, stoke, liver disease, hypoxia or toxic fume exposure. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed 5 days after the onset of symptoms in the local hospital, and showed symmetrical T2-weighted imaging (T2WI; Fig. ) and T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2FLAIR; Fig. ) hyperintense non-hemorrhagic lesions in bilateral basal ganglia, as well as corona radiata lesions showing mild diffusion restriction.

She did not suffer from DM or other diseases such as cerebrovascular events, intoxication or hyperlactacidemia. Thus, UE was possibly due to a combined effect of uremic toxins and hyperthyroidism. The patient was treated with high frequency and high flux dialysis (4 h hemodiafiltration with APS 15 uc dialyzer, 4 times per week), hyperbaric oxygen therapy (1.5 h per day), declining parathyroid hormone (1 μg of calcitriol injection every 2 days), and treatment for symptom relief (2 mg of haloperidol, 2 mg of clonazepam and 2 mg of benzhexol administered orally twice per day). Gradually, the symptoms reduced in frequency, and the amplitude of involuntary movement decreased. Fourteen days after admission, a subsequent brain MRI revealed high signal in the bilateral basal ganglia on T2WI and T2FLAIR , which were significantly weaker compared to the initial MRI signal. +About 1 month later, the patient achieved complete remission and restoration of normal body movement, and was discharged.

The interval workup revealed worsening of lymphocytosis (61% at presentation vs. 40.2% at 6 months before the presentation) and thrombocytopenia (42 vs. 92 K/mm3). A positron emission tomography scan showed bulky confluent hypermetabolic adenopathy throughout all bilateral neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis portions. The patient was subsequently admitted to the hospital with suspected CLL progression and possible transformation to a more aggressive type. Lymph node biopsy revealed that high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) had transformed from CLL (Richter syndrome; Fig. ). The patient was started on DA-R-EPOCH chemotherapy.

Therapy with broad-spectrum antibacterials and antifungals and with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was initiated. +Despite an improvement in cervical lymphadenopathy, on day 9 of hospitalization, the patient developed severe airway obstruction and immediately underwent emergency intubation for airway protection, following which he was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck demonstrated significant neck soft-tissue edema, for which he received high doses of hydrocortisone, but with no improvement. On day 10, the patient remained unresponsive after sedation was weaned off, and he subsequently developed two episodes of generalized seizures. Computed tomography of the head showed no acute abnormalities. An electroencephalogram did not demonstrate any signs of focal or generalized seizure activity. Brain MRI revealed edema in the cortical gray and subcortical white matter of the bilateral occipital and inferior temporal lobes, consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome . The patient experienced recurrent seizure episodes refractory to lorazepam, levetiracetam, valproate, but responsive to midazolam and propofol. Of note, additional blood cultures became positive for Klebsiella oxytoca; thus, tigecycline was added to the antibiotic regimen. However, considering the overall grim prognosis, the decision was made, in conjunction with the family, not to escalate care. Unfortunately, the patient's condition deteriorated further, resulting in cardiac arrest.

Physical exam was notable for bibasilar crackles in the lungs, bilateral lower extremity 2+ pitting edema, and jugular venous distention up to 9 cm. Labs were notable for a pro B-type natriuretic peptide of 8458 pg/mL (reference range 1–450 pg/mL), a significant increase from 3301 pg/mL during a previous admission. In addition, the D-dimer was unremarkable. A chest radiograph obtained during admission showed bilateral ground glass opacities from prior COVID-19, pulmonary congestion, and interposition of the right hepatic flexure of the colon between subdiaphragmatic space and the right dome of the liver (Chilaiditi's sign) . The comparison was made from a prior chest radiograph that showed normal anatomy of the right subdiaphragmatic space . Electrocardiogram demonstrated atrial fibrillation with low voltage and no acute ischemic features. Echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 40%, reduced from 70% only a year ago, with normal right ventricular (RV) size, reduced RV contractility, and a dilated right atrium. In addition, the patient did not have any prior COVID-19 complications including intubation, development of pulmonary embolism or requiring supplemental oxygen. A negative D-dimer and CT chest without contrast showed no evidence of embolism, effectively ruling out acute pulmonary embolism. +The patient was subsequently admitted for congestive heart failure exacerbation, for which he was started on furosemide 40 mg IV twice a day with daily weight trend and strict intake and output documentation. Patient had an excellent response to diuretics with a net negative urine output of 6.8 L over 48 hours since admission. His home medications were resumed, including Losartan 25 mg daily, carvedilol 3.125 mg twice daily, atorvastatin 40 mg, aspirin 81mg, albuterol inhaler as needed every 6 hours and montelukast 10 mg daily. He was diuresed for 3 days, successfully achieving euvolemic status, resolution of bilateral leg edema, and improvement of jugular venous distention. Cardiology was consulted for a new reduction in ejection fraction to rule out acute coronary syndrome. Given an electrocardiogram showing no ischemic features and negative troponin on three separate assessments, it was concluded that the patient did not have acute coronary syndrome. Patient received coronary angiography and was found to have non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Patient continued to have persistent dyspnea with some mild pleuritic chest pain on the right subcostal region without any need for supplemental oxygen. The aforementioned medications were continued for a total of 5 days. Community or hospital acquired pneumonia was ruled out given normal cultures, absence of inflammatory response, no fevers, normal procalcitonin, and no imaging findings concerning pneumonia. Computed tomography scan of the chest without contrast was repeated to rule out other causes of dyspnea and pleurisy, and subsequently showed colonic interposition between the diaphragm and right lobe of the liver . Given the patient's dyspnea and pleurisy due to diaphragmatic irritation, as well as the imaging findings, surgery was consulted for potential Chilaiditi syndrome. Despite this, the patient refused to undergo any surgery and preferred to be discharged from the hospital. The patient was discharged with guidelines for long-term medical treatment for heart failure (Lasix 40mg by mouth twice daily, carvedilol 3.125 mg twice daily, Losartan 25mg daily), atrial fibrillation (carvedilol 3.125 twice daily, aspirin 81mg), hypertension (carvedilol 3.125 mg twice daily, Losartan 25mg daily) and asthma (albuterol inhaler as needed, montelukast 10mg daily). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_178_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_178_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..29296d2e73c910167bbbbd54ba33790fa75aa908 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_178_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 42-year old man suffered from fever, sore throat, mild bilateral headache, and runny nose for 5 days.

The patient reported that although the previous retinal reattachment surgery had resulted in a favorable outcome, he had experienced persistent conjunctival hyperemia, conjunctival edema, and low levels of ptosis during the subsequent recovery period. He reported that he had recently become aware of blurred vision in his left eye and subsequently consulted a local doctor.

Minor cataracts were observed beneath the posterior capsule, and mydriasis was somewhat poor. In the ocular fundus of the left eye, extensive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and partial hyperpigmentation were observed, accompanied by subretinal strands, yet the retina remained reattached. Around the entire peripheral area of the retina we observed a high, ring-shaped protrusion, but we also saw a shiny, filamentous material in the vitreous cavity that penetrated the sclera and choroid, completely extending from the 4- to 8-o'clock position of the protrusion . During a B-mode ultrasound scan, we observed a high-luminance image on the edge of the buckle protrusion with an acoustic shadow . We also observed slight opacity and inflammatory cells in the vitreous cavity. Thus, we diagnosed this patient as a case of intraocular erosion and intrusion by an Arruga suture, and for the iritis in the left eye we began to administrate low-concentration steroid eye drops, after which the inflammation disappeared.

Cytologically, no malignant cells were found in the bloody discharge from the nipple. Laboratory data on admission were within normal limits. There was no elevation in serum levels of any tumor marker including CEA, CA15-3, NCC-ST-439, ICT, and CA19-9. Mammogram showed a focal asymmetry in the left CC-O and left MLO-M area . Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass measuring 19 × 17 × 11 mm with an irregular margin, acoustic enhancement, and interruption of the posterior border of the mammary gland in the upper lateral quadrant of the left breast. It was connected to the surrounding mammary ducts . The mammogram and ultrasonography were classified into the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5th edition category 3 and 4, respectively. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a mass with early enhancement. The mass had a relatively high intensity, and a peritumoral low-intensity capsule-like signal was noted on T2-weighted images . MRI also showed early arterial enhancement, gradual washout, and two lengths of linear enhancement between the mass and nipple . Core needle biopsy of the lesion demonstrated a solid, proliferating, and invasive tumor with adipose tissue involvement. These findings suggested invasive ductal carcinoma. The tumor was negative for estrogen receptor (ER) , progesterone receptor (PgR) , and HER2/neu . Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) revealed the breast tumor with a maximum standardized uptake value of 4.4 and also showed a 55-mm mass in the cervix uteri . Biopsy from the latter finally confirmed a diagnosis of cervical carcinoma. After radiotherapy for the cervical carcinoma, the patient underwent partial mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. She was not treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for her triple-negative breast carcinoma due to her great age and advanced cervical carcinoma. +Macroscopically, the breast mass measured 35 mm in its greatest diameter and had no connection to the overlying skin or nipple . Histologically, the tumor revealed solid growth of small, round uniform cells with clear cytoplasm. In part, aggregates of large tumor cells with clear and vacuolated cytoplasm, indicative of sebaceous differentiation, were seen . The intraductal spread of the tumor was observed with bleeding in dilated ducts. A part of tumor nodule was surrounded by the fibrous tissue. No metastatic deposits were identified in the axillary lymph nodes. On frozen sections, most part of the tumor cells contained abundant Sudan Black B-positive lipid droplets in the cytoplasm . Immunohistochemically, 90% of the cells were positive for adipophilin . The cells were negative for ER, PgR, Her2/neu, and androgen receptor (AR); positive for cytokeratin 7 and Ber-EP4; and partially positive for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). In addition, the tumor cells were negative for the neuroendocrine markers such as synaptophysin and chromogranin A. Therefore, the present case was diagnosed with sebaceous carcinoma of the breast. She had no complications of surgery and was discharged from the hospital on post-operative day 7. +Sixteen months after her breast surgery, the patient was admitted to the palliative care unit of another hospital due to her metastatic cervical carcinoma. There have been no signs of recurrence of breast malignancy. +Sebaceous carcinoma of the breast is a distinct variant of invasive ductal carcinoma, characterized by a lobular or nested growth pattern of tumor cells variably admixed with cells displaying sebaceous differentiation . According to the World Health Organization histological classification of tumors of the breast, the definition of the sebaceous carcinoma of the breast is that a primary breast carcinoma of the skin adnexal type with sebaceous differentiation at least 50% of cells and there should be no evidence of derivation from cutaneous adnexal sebaceous glands . The present case fulfilled the necessary condition. +Pathological diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the breast is considered to be difficult when sebaceous differentiation is morphologically obscure. In such cases, it is necessary to show intracytoplasmic lipid by Oil Red O or Sudan Black B stain, or to demonstrate expression of adipophilin by immunohistochemistry. However, lipids are extracted during the organic phase of tissue processing and lipid staining cannot be performed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded material. Accordingly, lipid staining can vividly demonstrate intracytoplasmic lipid only when fresh frozen material is available . In the present case, intracytoplasmic lipids were identified through Sudan Black B and the tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for adipophilin. +Sebaceous carcinoma should be differentiated from other rare types of breast carcinoma composed of vacuolated or clear cells, such as glycogen-rich carcinoma and lipid-rich carcinoma. Glycogen-rich carcinoma can be differentiated easily from sebaceous carcinoma by lack of lipids in the cytoplasm of neoplastic cell. Moreover, neoplastic cells of glycogen-rich carcinoma have a water-clear cytoplasm at light microscopy level, whereas sebaceous carcinoma is composed of vacuolated or foamy cells [, ]. Regarding lipid-rich carcinoma, at least 90% of tumor cells have abundant clear or vacuolated lipid-rich cytoplasm . Sebaceous carcinoma shows a compact lobulated solid growth pattern and finely vacuolated cells. In contrast, lipid-rich carcinoma infiltrates like conventional ductal carcinoma and the vacuolization is much less conspicuous. +There is no specific imaging finding that are useful in diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the breast. In MRI of the present case, linear enhancement between mass and nipple and capsule-like signal were observed. The linear enhancement indicates intraductal spread of the tumor. It was identified pathologically with bleeding in dilated ducts that caused bloody discharge from her nipple. The capsule-like signal was pathologically consistent with the fibrous tissue surrounding the tumor nodule. However, they are not specific for sebaceous carcinoma. +The number of previously reported cases of sebaceous carcinoma of the breast is limited, and their clinical and pathological features are available in 12 cases [–]. According to the reported cases including ours, 12 patients were women with ages ranging from 25 to 80 years. ER, PgR, and HER2/neu showed positivity in 7 of 12, 8 of 12, and 3 of 9 cases, respectively. Although some hormones or the HER2/neu oncogene may have some role in the development of sebaceous carcinoma, the details are unknown. +It has been reported that sebaceous carcinoma of the breast might be high-grade malignant neoplasm because three of four patients had axillary lymph node metastases and two patients experienced an aggressive clinical course with distant metastases . On the other hand, seven eighths of the cases whose prognoses were available was alive with or without evidence of breast malignancy after operation. The clinical course is not generally known due to its rarity. Further study is warranted to elucidate the pathology and prognosis of the patients with sebaceous carcinoma of the breast. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2132_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2132_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..754a21bed04b4974c500bfa0670bfbbbb48970b7 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2132_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +The 28-year-old Taiwanese woman whose condition is reported herein had an uneventful birth and developmental history.

He was a nonsmoker and had no history of alcohol abuse. Our patient had had no previous medication and he denied any acute drug usage. He had undergone appendectomy 15 years previously. He had no history of traffic accident-related or other abdominal trauma. The acute pain was located on the left side of his abdomen, running down to the left inguinal area. He rated the pain as maximal, numerically 10 on a 1–10 scale. On clinical examination his abdomen was soft on palpation with no abdominal guarding, but our patient was struggling with pain. Peripheral pulses were palpable and there was no tenderness on palpation of the kidneys. The symptoms supported a diagnosis of urolithiasis. +Our patient was treated with intravenous oxycodone and his pain was relieved. A helical CT scan showed no sign of urolithiasis and his kidneys were normal . Laboratory analysis showed an elevated white blood cell (WBC) count of 13.4 × 109/L. However, his serum concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) was normal, as were other laboratory test results . Next morning, our patient was feeling well and had no abdominal pain. His WBC count had decreased to 10.0 × 109/L. Otherwise the results were still normal. Our patient was discharged and advised to return should the pain reoccur. He returned to the ED the next evening because of rapid-onset intense abdominal pain located in the lower left quadrant of his abdomen, radiating to the left testicle. A urologist was consulted because of the possibility of testicular torsion, but our patient's clinical findings did not support this. The provisional diagnosis was still urolithiasis. Owing to the intense pain, explorative surgery was planned in order to assess the testicles and kidneys. Before any definite decision, contrast-enhanced abdominal CT was carried out. This revealed renal infarction of the left kidney . The renal artery was open. After consultation, our patient was admitted to the nephrology ward. +Our patient was started on enoxaparin, 100 mg twice daily, and examined for the possible source of emboli or a thrombophilic state. An electrocardiogram (ECG), transthoracic echocardiography and 48-hour continuous ECG monitoring did not indicate cardiac disease, arrhythmia or any other reason for suspected emboli. The results of laboratory tests for anticardiolipin antibodies and other markers of thrombophilic states including antithrombin III, protein C, protein S, lupus anticoagulant, beta 2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies, factor V Leiden, and factor II prothrombin were negative. There were no systemic clinical symptoms in our patient’s medical history such as fatigue, weight loss, arthralgia, hemoptysis, epistaxis, or persistent nasal crusting that would have suggested possible vasculitis. No palpable purpura or other skin manifestations were found either. Neither were there any abnormalities in the usual laboratory tests for identifying vasculitis such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate, antinuclear antibodies, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies against either protease 3 or myeloperoxidase, serum complement levels C3 and C4, and antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies. A biopsy examination of the involved tissue was not feasible. There was a typical increase of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). His intense abdominal pain was treated with intravenous oxycodone delivered via a patient-controlled analgesia pump, and epidural bupivacaine anesthesia. Anti-factor Xa levels were measured to adjust the enoxaparin dosage and enoxaparin was paused during removal of the epidural catheter. +On the seventh day of hospitalization, our patient had a fever of 38.4 °C, an elevated WBC count and his CRP level had increased to 301 mg/L . There appeared to be no focus of infection, but intravenous ceftriaxone was started because of possible secondary infection of the affected tissue. Invasive angiography of the left renal artery was performed on the fifth day of hospitalization. At first, the performing radiologist interpreted the finding as 10-mm-long stenosis of a segmental branch of the inferior renal artery, followed by 20 mm of poststenotic dilatation and obvious thrombosis . The diameter of the stenotic part was approximately 1.7 mm. Our patient’s kidney function remained stable and normal, so invasive evaluation of a potential pressure gradient (which might have been difficult) was not found necessary at that time. Another theory arose when the findings were reevaluated at the next radiology meeting: the segmental branch of the inferior renal artery was evaluated as being aneurysmatic, and it was thought to have been a possible source of emboli. +Our patient was discharged on the tenth day of hospitalization. He was feeling well and the fever had subsided. Serum levels of CRP had decreased to 80 mg/L. Oral antibiotics (cephalexin), proton pump inhibitor, and 100 mg of enoxaparin once a day were prescribed for 1 week. Diuresis was normal. There was a slight rise in creatinine levels but his glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was normal (100 mL/min/1.73 m2). His clinical status was normal, with blood pressure (BP) of 136/80 mmHg. +Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) was carried out 15 months after the infarction to check for possible progression of changes in the left renal artery. There were slight changes of caliber in the arteries of his left kidney. Similar changes were also noticeable in the common hepatic artery and superior mesenteric artery. The arteries of his right kidney were normal. The findings were evaluated as being a consequence of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and our patient was started on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), 100 mg once a day. A carotid ultrasound was performed and there were slight irregularities in the wall of his right common carotid artery, a finding which was suggestive of FMD. Doppler findings were normal and the carotid arteries were otherwise normal. A follow-up visit took place a year after the MRA examination. His BP measured by a nurse was 149/79 and his GFR was still normal. Our patient was instructed to perform home blood pressure monitoring and he later reported that his BP was 130–140/70–80. There appeared to be no problems during follow-up and our patient continued in his normal work. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2157_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2157_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9b5cb1c019cd127d1321492fcebe151ba6566189 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2157_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +A male, 72 years old.

Following the physical inspection, we undertook esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to identify the cause of frequent vomiting, hematemesis, and duodenal obstruction. We detected only mild bleeding caused by reflux esophagitis and a bezoar that had obstructed the duodenum. +The patient's consumption of alcohol was low with no evidence of trauma, infections, or medications. Therefore, we concluded that the bezoar was the main cause of acute pancreatitis. +In the absence of elevated bilirubin levels, we decided to follow a conservative treatment strategy, assuming that the common bile duct was impartially obstructed. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) where intravenous fluids were administered, and his urine output was monitored. It was difficult to maintain urine output, and he was started on ventilatory management because he developed respiratory failure on day 3 of hospitalization. The patient had gone into shock, which persisted. Vasopressors were administered. Antimicrobials were started because bilirubin levels were elevated, which can result in complications like acute cholangitis. Despite supportive care, his symptoms did not improve, and bilirubin levels continued to increase. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT carried out on day 3 revealed the presence of residual duodenal bezoar and obstruction of the common bile duct . He had been admitted with acute pancreatitis due to papillary obstruction, but the bilirubin level was speculated to have risen over time. We reconsidered the papillary obstruction as the cause of the acute pancreatitis. We decided to remove the bezoar and open papillae. He presented with coagulopathy and poor clinical condition, and surgery was considered an unsafe treatment option. Therefore, we attempted to dissect the bezoar by undertaking EGD; forceps were used to crush the bezoar and attempt maximum removal. However, the bezoar was large and hard, and could not be removed in a single EGD. The procedure was repeated three times, on days 6, 7, and 9, to dissect and remove the bezoars . In a previous case, duodenal diverticulum had been noted as a cause of the bezoar, but no diverticulum was found in this case. Duodenal papillae unclogged and the bilirubin levels declined. Chemical analysis of the stone revealed that the bezoars mainly consisted of calcium oxalate (>98%). +Following the bezoars' removal, the patient's clinical condition gradually improved, and he was extubated on day 7.

However, the initial clinical course with rapid deterioration within days to weeks was highly unusual for neurodegenerative pathology like FTD; and the trailmaking tests A/B and verbal fluency (in the CERAD) would be adversely affected by the patient’s prevailing conscious state. Therefore, the patient’s conscious state might have influenced the comparability of the serial neuropsychological assessments. However, the cooperation was comparable at the three times of investigation. Alternatively, immunological encephalopathy seemed to be plausible regarding the rapid onset, increased antithyroid antibodies, EEG slowing, white matter lesions, and secondary non-specific FDG-PET alterations.

Although high-dose steroid therapy aggravated symptoms, we started off-label treatment with plasmapheresis (five sessions at the beginning of November 2016) 7 weeks after the initiation of lithium as a last-resort therapeutic attempt. At this time point, the patient’s hypothyroidism was adequately substituted with 0.075 mg/d l-thyroxine. +A few days after the initiation of plasmapheresis, all the patient’s symptoms improved significantly.

He also complained of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) probably due to fentanyl after multiple anesthesia histories. +Considering the possibility of widespread surgical wound and he was taking aspirin, continuous ultrasound-guided ESPB was planned. Aspirin was continued until the day of surgery. He received no premedication. Standard monitoring and intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring were performed. General anesthesia was induced with propofol 70 mg, fentanyl 250 μg, and rocuronium 60 mg and maintained with 1.5% sevoflurane in an inhaled oxygen concentration of 60% with a total flow of 3 l/min and remifentanil 0.1–0.2 μg/kg/min.

After performing standard skin asepsis, the linear transducer (12 MHz, LOGIQ e; GE Healthcare, Chicago IL), within a sterile sleeve, was positioned on the patient in a transverse orientation and the T6 spinous process image was taken. The transducer was moved right laterally to identify the transverse process of T6 and then rotated 90° to visualize the right transverse process and the erector spinae muscles above it. A continuous nerve block set (Contiplex Tuohy Ultra set; B BRAUN, Melsungen, Germany) with an 18-G, 100-mm Tuohy needle was inserted in-plane in a caudal to cranial direction until contact with the right T6 transverse process was made.

ADA and PSL were discontinued immediately, and 4-drug regimen for miliary TB consisting of isoniazid (300 mg/day), rifampicin (450 mg/day), ethambutol (750 mg/day) and pyrazinamide (dose titrated from 0.8 g/day to 1.5 g/day) was started. The TB treatment was completed 6 months later based on clinical improvement , although T-SPOT.TB was still positive. During the period when ADA was discontinued, the patient received adjunctive therapy with betamethasone eye drops and sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone acetonide to manage the condition. However, the efficacy of these treatments approach was limited to control ME , resulting in decreased BCVA in the left eye (10/20) and gradual elevation of intraocular pressure due to topical administration of steroid. Therefore, a decision was made to restart TNF inhibitor. Although miliary TB treatment had been completed, the patient still tested positive for T-SPOT.TB, necessitating initiation of infliximab (IFX) in combination with isoniazid (300 mg/day) to address the condition. Following the initiation of IFX, subsequent fluorescein angiography demonstrated more severe vascular leakage compared to the initial examination. However, improvements of ME, vitreous opacity and BCVA in the left eye (24/20) were observed. Furthermore, there was no TB relapse during the course of treatment after starting IFX for 3 years. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2592_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2592_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..676903e71ccbc05eeac2fc4725d29b4b71ed974b --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2592_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +An 8-year-old boy (height, 122 cm; body weight 26.9 kg; ASA physical status class I) with Perthes’ disease was scheduled for osteotomy.

After intubation, a radial artery catheter was placed to monitor blood pressure and hemoglobin (Hb). The patient was placed in the right-lateral recumbent position. Anesthesia was maintained with 40% oxygen and 2% sevoflurane in combination with the continuous infusion of 0.2–0.4 μg/kg/min of remifentanil. The intravenous fluids administered included Ringer’s solution with acetate, bicarbonate Ringer’s solution, and a colloidal solution; lactated Ringer’s solution was not used. Blood loss was recorded as 150 mL, and 200 mL of autologous blood was used intraoperatively.

No digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed. Due to a sudden decreased level of consciousness, the emergency surgery was necessary. A left parieto-temporal craniotomy was performed. Through the use of neuronavigation it was possible to locate the ICH and the aneurysm. Under microscopic vision, a small corticotomy was made and the ICH was gently evacuated. A small saccular aneurysm was found. Before clipping, the indocyanine green videoangiography (ICGV) was used to identify the perforating arteries close to the aneurysm sac, and to detect the neck. The aneurysm neck was clipped with a mini-clip and the aneurysm sac was coagulated with a bipolar forceps. After clipping, the ICGV showed the patency of all efferent and afferent arteries to the aneurysm and confirmed the aneurysm exclusion. The postoperative CTA showed neither residual aneurysm nor occlusion of the parent vessel . The motor deficit was progressively recovered and the patient was discharged on the 20th postoperative day without complications. At 3-month follow-up examination, the patient was asymptomatic and feeling well. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2701_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2701_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d3ff7ee9775984a7bcdf2932a9647ba88884f807 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2701_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +Routine ultrasound found a left hepatic mass with multiple hepatic cysts. +A 56-year-old female was admitted to our hospital after a mass in the liver was detected by routine ultrasonographic examination a month prior, with a chief complaint of occasional abdominal distension. +The patient was diagnosed with hypertension at 51 years old and reported no history of hepatitis, tuberculosis, or AIDS. +The patient reported no family history of liver malignancy or hepatitis. +The patient exhibited stable vital signs, and no issues were detected following a physical examination. +Tumor marker tests used can be seen in Table . +An abdominal CT scan showed a slightly low-density mass at the junction of the left and right lobes of the liver, existing behind multiple scattered, hypoattenuating, and round lesions with clear boundaries.

He was referred to our hospital with suspected left lower lobe lung cancer (cT1bN0M0 stage1A2). CT and three-dimensional CT (3D-CT), which was performed using the Fujifilm Synapse Vincent system (Fujifilm Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), revealed the following anatomical anomalies in the left lung: 1) a displaced B1 + 2 running behind the main pulmonary artery, 2) an anomalous V1 + 2 joining the left inferior pulmonary vein , and 3) hyperlobulation between S1 + 2 and S3 with a completely fused interlobar fissure between S1 + 2 and S6 . 3D-CT also indicated that the interlobar plane between S1 + 2 and S6 ran perpendicular to the cranio-caudal direction because the volume of S1 + 2 was relatively large .

The patient described the intervention as beneficial. Interestingly, she also recalled the catheter to be subcutaneously tunneled. After delivery, the pain immediately disappeared, thereby suggesting an association with pregnancy-related changes of the musculoskeletal structure. The epidural was removed in the immediate postpartum. +After discussion of the case between the anesthesia and surgical teams, including neurosurgical consultation, and considering the will of the patient, the patient was scheduled for urgent surgical removal of the fragment. +In the operating room, inspecting the skin of the right paravertebral region, a small scar could be observed, with a fibrotic reaction attributable to a foreign body lying just underneath. A looped radio-opaque object with its tip at the T12 level was then seen on intraoperative fluoroscopy. Examining lateral projections, showing most of the catheter to be superficially located, the attending neurosurgeon excluded the need for laminectomy. Under sterile conditions and with the patient in the prone position, local anesthesia was administered and incision of the skin and fascia was performed at the level of the scar. The proximal end of the catheter fragment was isolated about 1 cm below the incision and then carefully removed by slow constant traction. +A 15 cm fragment of a Flextip Plus 19G wire-reinforced epidural catheter (Arrow-Teleflex, Limerick, PA) was retrieved, with a large uncoiled portion close to its proximal end . The operator verified the black terminal marker indicating tip integrity was present. Surgery was performed without any complication. A fluoroscopic control showed the absence of any metallic residual foreign body, and direct visualization during dissection of the skin confirmed that no portion of the uncoiled portion was left behind. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2839_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2839_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..63e0c4f5d0ead27a35fd9694f0f2b41a78a2d986 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2839_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 60-year-old female had progressive HV and bunion deformities for many years. Despite increasing pain in the bunion area initially and then the crossover deformity between first and second toes, she could still manage for several years by wearing increasingly more accommodating shoes with wider forefoot region and roomy toe box made of soft materials. Due to her daily required walking activities, she developed thick and painful metatarsal calluses despite wearing mostly thick-soled shoes only. She could hardly tolerate the metatarsalgia of her feet in walking due to the constant feeling of walking on a pebble in her shoes. She found that walking was becoming an exhausting chore to avoid. She felt losing balance easily on uneven ground and walking down stairs. She had fallen several times already. Her mother had also HV deformity but not as severe and she got by without surgery. Physical examination revealed bilateral HV deformity that could only be partially corrected. The passive range of motion of her right foot first MPJ was 45° in both extension and flexion and 60° and 45°, respectively, of her left foot first MPJ. Her right second toe had severe varus deformity that was crossing over the hallux but without any remarkable clawing deformity. Her left second toe varus deformity was not as severe. The second toe varus deformity of her left foot could be manually realigned completely but not her right foot second toe. Both second MPJs were moderately tender and had reduced passive flexion movement due to pain. First metatarsals were hyper mobile in both sagittal and frontal planes. There were large and thick calluses under the forefoot region of both feet . Dorsoplantar standing x-rays of her feet revealed a right foot first intermetatarsal angle (IMA) of 17.5° and metatarsophalangeal angle (MPA) of 33.7° and 16.8° and 27.9°, respectively, of her left foot. IMA and MPA are usually considered normal within their upper limits of 9° and 15°, respectively. All first and second MPJs were incongruent and the right second MPJ subluxated in dorsomedial direction. Both tibial and fibula sesamoids were dissociated from their first metatarsals. Pre-operative walking plantar pressure study by F-Scan (Tekscan, USA) revealed poor weight bearing and reactive force under the first ray and obvious lateral shift of functional area of her forefeet to the second and third metatarsal heads where she had large and thick metatarsal calluses. This patient agreed to undergo a simultaneous bilateral syndesmosis procedure [, ], a non-osteotomy soft tissue technique, for her HV deformity correction and possible additional surgery and pinning if necessary for the varus deformity correction of her second toes. +An initial one-inch incision was made along the distal dorsal medial border of the second metatarsal. After blunt dissection, the interosseous muscle was retracted laterally and partially resected to help expose the lateral soft tissue structures for the release of the lateral collateral and metatarsosesamoid ligaments. The adductor hallucis tendon was preserved and the fibular sesamoid was not resected. The distal third of the first and second metatarsals was then exposed subperiosteally and roughened in a fish-scale fashion with an osteotome. Three drill holes of 2 mm diameter were made in dorsoplantar direction in the distal half of first metatarsal shaft about 5 mm apart. Double-strand number-onepolydioxanone dissolvable sutures (ETHICON, Johnson & Johnson, USA) were then passed through the drill holes and around the second metatarsal, binding the two together. Intraoperative anteroposterior (AP) view X-ray was then taken to assess the MPV deformity correction and first metatarsal alignment with a needle holder temporarily locking the intermetatarsal cerclage suture before it was tied later. However, to our surprise that, not only the HV and MPV deformities were corrected but also the severe right second toe varus deformity was also mostly corrected spontaneously without any surgical intervention to it yet. The same phenomenon also was happened to her left second toe but with complete spontaneous correction. The residual varus deformity of right foot second toe was then further corrected by capsulorrhaphy and collateral ligaments release of its MPJ. A medial horizontal elliptical incision was then made to remove redundant skin, bursa, capsular tissues, and exostoses. The combined single ligament tendon capsular layer was then approximated with interrupted 2-0 Vicryl sutures (Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, USA) without plication. +The patient worea forefoot cast for protected walking for 3months.

Her bone age was slightly advanced and it fitted 5 to 5.5 years old. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal; it showed no cortical atrophy. A homogenous mild enlargement of her pituitary gland was observed on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images with normal hyperintense posterior lobe on T1-weighted images . +Since the endocrine function tests were normal, her symptoms had been explained on the basis of psychotropic origin, and she was discharged with antipsychotic medication (risperidone 1 mg orally per day) and the recommendation to follow up at the out-patient psychiatric clinic after 3 months of prescribed treatment. After 3 months of discharge, when she was 4 years and 8 months old, she developed dyspnea that worsened with exertion and during sleep, continuous snoring, and recurrent chest pain. The respiratory symptoms lasted for 5 days after which she had two episodes of cyanosis and obstructive apnea which lasted for 10 minutes with improvement via oxygen mask. As a result of progressive respiratory distress (respiratory rate 35/min, expiratory grunting, flaring of nostrils, wheezing with prolonged expiration, and remarkably loud snoring) she was readmitted to Damascus Children Hospital, intensive care unit (ICU).

Under sedation, a central venous line and an arterial line were secured, and processed regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) was monitored in addition to standard monitoring including 5-lead ECG, pulse oximetry and capnography. Although no major blood pressure changes were observed during induction of anesthesia, her systolic blood pressure fluctuated in the range of 70 to 220 mmHg during the operation, necessitating frequent boluses of phentolamine and nicardipine. Her SpO2 and rSO2 were stable in the range of 89–92% and 55–60%, respectively, under a fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.3. Neither positive end-expiratory pressure nor pressure support was applied, and respiratory rate of spontaneous breathing was 20–30 per minute with expired carbon dioxide concentration of 30–38 mmHg during the procedure. There was no difficulty or trouble in managing her airway with an SGA device in the lateral position. No epidural local anesthetic agent was required, and the total amounts of fentanyl used during the procedure was 300 mcg. The surgery was competed in 170 min and the total amount of hemorrhage was 630 mL. A total of 1953 mL of Ringer’s solution and 4 units of red blood cells were administered during the procedure with 630 mL of urine output. After confirming emergence from anesthesia without a new neurological abnormality, the SGA device was removed in the operating room. +After the operation, she was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) as planned.

Diagnosis of muscle invasive bladder cancer without distant metastases was confirmed after imaging tests and transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). He underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection; an ileal conduit was also constructed. Microscopically, the tumor exhibited solid growth of spindle-shaped cells with atypia. Immunohistochemically, the cells were positive for CD56, a neural cell adhesion molecule expressed on the cell membrane of neurons, and synaptophysin, a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein that is present in neuroendocrine cells . In contrast, they were negative for CK20, which is a marker of urothelial carcinoma. The cells showed strong intranuclear positivity to ki-67 antibodies (> 70%) . Invasion beyond the bladder wall and metastasis of one of the thirteen regional lymph nodes that were excised were observed. Diagnosis of SCBC (pT3bN1M0) was confirmed. No component of urothelial carcinoma was found. Additionally, pathological re-examination of TURBT specimen exhibited similar features to the cystectomy specimen, which was pure SCBC. The patient received four cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2, administered intravenously) and cisplatin (70 mg/m2, administered intravenously); 6 months after cystectomy, he complained of right arm edema and hoarseness. Left tracheal deviation was observed on a chest radiograph ; Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed superior vena cava syndrome due to a 70 mm right-sided infraclavicular lymph node metastasis . Additionally, a 28 mm abdominal wall tumor and a 68 mm pelvic tumor were found. At that time, the serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) level was 227 ng/ml. The 21-day cycle regimen (including carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab) was administered intravenously, according to the clinical practice guidelines for extensive-disease SCLC . We administered carboplatin (area under the curve, 5 mg min/mL) on the first day, etoposide (100 mg/m2) from the first through the third day, and atezolizumab (1200 mg) on the first day. Considering the risk of nausea and loss of appetite, we intravenously administered palonosetron (0.75 mg) on the first day and dexamethasone (6.6 mg) from the first through the third day and orally administered aprepitant (125 mg) once daily on the first day, aprepitant (80 mg) once daily on the second and third day, and metoclopramide (5 mg) three times daily from the third through the seventh day. On the third day of the first cycle, right arm edema and hoarseness had improved. Additionally, tracheal deviation disappeared from the radiograph . While the patient experienced grade II neutropenia from days 8–10 of each cycle, it abated spontaneously without administration of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. He did not develop anemia or thrombocytopenia. Moreover, owing to the preventive therapy, he did not experience nausea or loss of appetite. After four cycles, all recurrent tumors completely disappeared from the CT scan. The serum NSE level decreased to 8.0 ng/ml. The patient continued to receive maintenance atezolizumab therapy (1200 mg, administered intravenously) every 21 days, without any evidence of recurrence over the 12 month follow up. Retrospectively, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) staining was performed using a cystectomy specimen. The immune cells infiltrating the tumor were positive for PD-L1, whereas the tumor cells were negative for PD-L1 . The proportion of tumor-infiltrating immune cells expressing PD-L1 in the tumor area was more than 1% and less than 5%.

Colonoscopy revealed a type 2 tumor at the rectosigmoid colon . Right hemiparesis was present as a result of two cerebral infarctions that had occurred during the 2 months prior to his first admission. After consultation with a neurologist, we considered that it was necessary to wait several months before performing a major operation due to the risk of inducing another cerebral infarction. However, advanced cancer would be expected to grow during the waiting period. We therefore considered that it was necessary to administer systemic chemotherapy to suppress tumor growth. We initially administered five courses of preoperative chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6). No cerebral events or severe adverse events occurred during the chemotherapy. Stable disease, according to the RESIST criteria, was achieved with the preoperative chemotherapy. A laparoscopic Hartmann’s operation with D3 lymph node dissection was performed at 4 weeks after the last course of chemotherapy. The patient’s postoperative course was good without any complications. The final diagnosis of the rectal cancer was Dukes B with well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma and rectal tumor invasion to the subserosa (T3) without lymphatic or venous invasion . The resected specimen was free from cancer cells. The patient had complained of a perianal abscess for 5 years before his first admission. However, we gave priority to treating the rectal cancer. Although his anal symptoms did not worsen during chemotherapy, at 1 month after the Hartmann’s operation for rectal cancer, his perianal abscess worsened and induration with two secondary open lesions was detected on physical examination . The pathological examination of the biopsied perianal tissue revealed adenocarcinoma. Because the perianal tumor was localized without invasion of the neighboring tissue on magnetic resonance imaging findings , and considering his physical states, we performed local excision under spinal anesthesia for curative resection. The final pathological diagnosis of the resected specimen was metastatic adenocarcinoma to an anal fistula originating from rectal cancer, and the resected margin was free from cancer cells . Immunohistochemistry revealed that both the rectal tumor and anal tumor were cytokeratin 7 (CK7) − and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) + . Based on the pathology of the primary tumor and the absence of lymphatic or venous invasion, metastasis was considered to have occurred due to the implantation of exfoliated cancer cells. Seven courses of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with the same regimen have been administered. No recurrence of the tumor has been seen for 31 months after the operation. If a locally recurrent tumor had been found near the rectum and anus without distant metastasis during follow-up, laparoscopic resection of the tumor with the residual rectum and anus would have been attempted after considering the patient’s performance status. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2918_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2918_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2c04ef67ae8cd34573c501c7738c5fce6e9133af --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2918_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 78-year-old Greek (Caucasian) male, a smoker with a BMI of 25.7 kg/m2 who was classified as an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status grade III patient and therefore had a medium risk of anesthesia, was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the left hip and thus was scheduled for an elective total hip replacement.

He was also a type II diabetic, managed by oral medication (metformin) and had undergone a total knee replacement in the past without complications. His preoperative laboratory examination was within normal parameters and he was hemodynamically stable (pre-anesthesia assessment vitals: blood pressure: 137/67 mmHg, heart rate: 77 bpm, SpO2: 99%). The anesthesia plan included the use of a combined lumbar epidural and spinal anesthesia and analgesia. +Upon arrival in the operating room (OR) standard monitoring including continuous electrocardiography (ECG), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and non-invasive blood pressure measuring was commenced. An oxygen mask administering 6 lt/min was used throughout the procedure. The neuraxial spinal technique was performed aseptically, by a second year anesthesia trainee who had previously performed more than 40 procedures, supervised by a senior consultant anesthetist, with the patient in a sitting position at the level of the L4-L5 intervertebral space using a midline approach. After local anesthesia with 5 ml of 2% lidocaine, an 18-Gauge Tuohy needle attached to a syringe filled with approximately 8 ml of air was used. Intermittent pressure was applied to locate the epidural space using the loss of resistance to air technique. +The epidural space was located relatively easily after a single redirection of the needle. A needle-through-needle approach with an adjustable locking mechanism was used to locate the subarachnoid space. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flowed freely through the spinal needle without the presence of blood. A mixture of 1,9 ml of ropivacaine 0.75% wit 0,2 ml (10 mcg) of fentanyl for a total volume of 2,1 ml was introduced into the subarachnoid space. The spinal needle was carefully removed, and the epidural catheter (Portex Epidural Minipack System 1, Smith’s Medical) was then placed in the epidural space. The spinal block was confirmed using the temperature differentiation method and both sensory and motor block were present. An arterial continuous blood pressure monitoring catheter was inserted in the patient’s radial artery prior to the commencement of the procedure. The patient exhibited stable baseline hemodynamics with a mean arterial pressure of 90 mmHg and a heart rate of 70–80 beats/min. +For surgery the patient was subsequently placed on the right lateral side with his left hip facing upwards. He received no intravenous anesthetic or analgesic medication throughout the procedure.

He was alert and responsive but stated that he felt dizziness. Sinus bradycardia was apparent on the ECG. The anesthesiologist in charge administered promptly 5 mg of ephedrine and a total of 1 mg of phenylephrine in consecutive boluses over a period of 30 s. Simultaneously O2 administration via a face mask was increased to 15 lt/min and intravenous fluid administration was increased. There was no improvement in the patient’s hemodynamic state and his blood pressure dropped further to 55/35 mmHg and the patient then became unresponsive. Fearing imminent patient arrest, the anesthetic incident alert was raised for additional help and 1mg of adrenaline was given intravenously by the consultant anesthetist. This produced an immediate rise in the blood pressure (up to a peak of 183/88 mmHg which required the administration of small 0.05 mg/ml boluses of nitroglycerin to prevent extreme hypertension) and the patient’s mental status promptly returned to normal. An immediate cardiology assessment was requested. A point of care echocardiogram demonstrated no new cardiac abnormalities or changes compared to the patients’ preoperative assessment echo. During the episode, there was a small drop in the patient’s SpO2 from 97% from 100% but his arterial blood gasses were normal. No dyspnea or chest pain was recorded during or after the episode. +After the end of the procedure, the patient was admitted to the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU), where continuous monitoring of his vital signs was performed. No additional epidural medication was administered and his epidural catheter was removed.

This was characterized by hypotension (blood pressure: 97/50 mmHg with the use of vasoactive drugs) and severely impaired oxygen saturation (SPO2 80%) at twelve o’clock. The patient’s heart rate was measured at 148 beats per minute, and the lactate value was recorded as 2.9 mmol/L at that time. Despite the administration of dopamine and metaraminol bitartrate to stabilize the patient’s vital signs, the cardiogenic shock remained uncorrected. + +Thus, an IABP was initially used for cardiogenic shock management in cardiac catheterization room in hospital day one. An IABP device (Impella cardiac power, IAB-06840-U; Teleflex®, Arrow International LLC, USA) was placed to decrease afterload and improved diastolic BP in order to increase pulsatility and improve coronary perfusion.

High dose of dopamine combined with furosemide were continued as treatment, while the invasive radial arterial BP was measured at 95/56 mmHg. By the third day after instrument implantation, there was an improvement in myocardial contractility and hemodynamic stabilization was achieved, resulting in a gradual reduction in vasopressor levels to 1.5 ug/kg/min.

Serological tests for tuberculosis (T-SPOT, TB test), Widal reaction and blood cultures were negative. On the eighth day of hospitalization, a lung CT scan exhibited dispersed streaks in the lower right lung, prompting a modification in the antibiotic regimen to piperacillin sulbactam (4.5g intravenous every eight hours). Nevertheless, by the tenth day of hospitalization, the patient’s temperature did not show any signs of reduction, raising doubts regarding the association between the fever and the progression of pneumonia. Subsequently, on the eleventh day of hospitalization, a comprehensive abdominal CT scan revealed colorectal dilatation, necessitating heightened awareness for the possibility of paralytic intestinal obstruction. Following the administration of warm saline retention enema, the patient’s body temperature rapidly declined the following day. + +Moreover, the patient exhibited notable levels of anxiety, depression, and suicidal inclinations on the ninth day of hospitalization. To address these concerns, psychological counseling therapy and the administration of sertraline hydrochloride tablets were implemented. Over time, the patient experienced a gradual recovery, leading to their transfer to the intermediate care unit on the thirteenth day and eventual discharge on the fourteenth day.

These tumor cells are arranged in solid and microcystic patterns that infiltrate into the sclerotic stroma. Malignant acinar cells are large polygonal cells with abundant basophilic granular cytoplasm and eccentrically placed small hyperchromatic nuclei. Intercalated duct-like cells are cuboidal cells with amphophilic cytoplasm with centrally placed dark nuclei. Nonspecific glandular cells have vesicular nuclei with eosinophilic cytoplasm. Sheets of malignant tumor cells are also traversed by very delicate blood vessels. There is no evidence of necrosis.

After the heart team’s (cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeon) decision and patient’s consent, the complex PCI using DK crush bifurcation stenting technique was planned. Firstly, using the right radial approach, successful PCIs of the distal LCx and the second DB were performed. Secondly, LMCA LAD/LCx procedure was carried out. A 7F (French size) EBU (Extra Back Up, a guiding catheter used to provide maximal support and control during PCI) 3.75 mm guiding catheter was used and two Sion Blue ES (Sion Blue Extra Stiff, a guiding catheter used for high torque control and support) guidewires were placed in the distal segments of LCx and LAD. Then, an Ultimaster Nagomi 3.5/18 mm stent was implanted into the LMCA towards the LCx and partially crushed by a 3.0/15 mm semi-compliant balloon. Subsequently, after rewiring, balloon kissing was performed with a 3.0/15 mm semi-compliant balloon in LCx and a 3.5/15 mm semi-compliant balloon in LAD. Ultimaster Nagomi 4.0/15 mm stent was implanted into the LMCA towards the LAD. Proximal optimization technique (a technique involving inflating a balloon in the proximal part of the larger branch to optimize the opening and ensure better stent apposition and expansion before further stenting of the smaller branch) was performed with a 4.0/8 mm non-compliant balloon and, after rewiring the LCx, re-kissing was performed with a 3.0/15 mm balloon in LCx and a 3.5/15 mm balloon in LAD. Finally, an adequate apposition of LMCA/LCx and LAD stents was confirmed by the intravascular ultrasound monitoring. The final angiography revealed an excellent angiographic result, with optimal stent expansion, lesions covered, and TIMI 3 flow in all coronary arteries. The 1-month follow-up of the patient was uneventful. + diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3094_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3094_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..196f4df0edc62b74f82a8954c69b5c84b40da7c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3094_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +Our patient was a girl who was 40 weeks in utero and born through natural vaginal delivery as the first child of a Japanese couple.

Eye-tracking and smiling when someone touched or held her were appropriate for infant age. Interictal EEG revealed normal sleep waves; however, there were frequent localized spike waves and spike–slow wave complexes. A tentative diagnosis of symptomatic localization-related epilepsy was made, and treatment was initiated. She continued to experience seizures approximately 10 times a day; therefore, phenobarbital was discontinued and carbamazepine was started at 78 days old. However, it was discontinued after a few days due to an increase in seizure frequency. Oral sodium valproate and zonisamide were initiated at 81 and 88 days old, respectively. Vitamin B6 was administered; however, it was discontinued after having no effect. After starting sodium valproate and zonisamide, there was a gradual decrease in the seizure frequency; however, even at the maximum dose, seizures were still observed 3–4 times a day. Initially, the seizures were generalized tonic convulsions starting from the left upper extremity. However, around the age of 88 days, she displayed a series of nodding spasms. After adjustment of medications, oral intake was decreased, and tube feeding was initiated. At 108 days old, the patient underwent examination for primary disease according to the Department of Child Neurology, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry. Long-term EEG monitoring revealed frequent irregular high-amplitude spikes and slow waves without left-right synchrony during sleep and wakefulness, which indicated a hypsarrhythmia. Ictal EEG revealed a fast-wave rhythm and positive slow waves preceding the spasm. Eye tracking and chuckling during the early disease stage were no longer observed. Further, she was considered to be developmentally regressing and was diagnosed with West syndrome. Brain MRI revealed no structural abnormalities presenting as obvious epileptic foci, including focal cortical dysplasia. The patient was started on adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy at 114 days old, which was administered daily for two weeks. + +The seizures disappeared the day after starting ACTH therapy. Recurrent spasms were observed 8 days after initiating ACTH therapy. Subsequently, sodium valproate and zonisamide were continued; however, there was no change in seizure frequency. Nitrazepam was started at the age of 4 months, which decreased the seizure frequency to 1–2 per day. EEG revealed multifocal spikes; however, the typical hypsarrhythmia disappeared and there was improved background activity. Cerebral cortical atrophy occurred as a side effect of ACTH therapy. Development remained regressive, without evidence of head control, eye tracking, or chuckling. Due to aspiration pneumonia, nutrition was maintained by tube feeding.

Two months after the procedure, the UDVA had improved to 20/80 in RE and to 20/100 in the LE, but the cornea was not completely clear, with residual stromal haze. The EDTA chelation procedure had no effect on the deeper calcium deposits and the tomographic maps showed irregular corneal surface. For this reason, a combined treatment with PRK and PTK was scheduled in both eyes in order to recover visual acuity and minimize surgical invasiveness.The customized treatment was determined by taking into account the following parameters: spherical error, some biometric data including anterior chamber depth, axial length; corneal morphological irregularity index (CMI) measured by tomographer (Precisio2®, iVIS Technologies, Taranto, Italy); pupillometry (pMetrics®, iVIS Technologies, Taranto, Italy). + +CMI, measured in μm, is a parameter which indicates the aberrations above the second order of the anterior and posterior corneal surface. It is strongly correlated to the quality of vision of the patient: the more the CMI, the worse the quality of vision. + +The customized ablation is achieved using a ray tracing-based software. Ray tracing is based on the Snell law of refraction and allows the evaluation of the pathway of light rays after their passage through the eye from the anterior corneal surface to the retina. In this way, it is possible to know the exact refractive contribution of each surface and fully customize excimer laser ablation. This is achieved by not performing a full regularization of the anterior corneal surface; instead, a small amount of aberration on the anterior corneal surface is left to compensate for the posterior surface aberrations which are of opposite sign. In fact, the posterior corneal shape introduces posterior corneal morphological irregularities, which partially compensate for the anterior ones. + +In this way, the ray tracing algorithm optimizes the quality of vision and at the same time minimizes the consumption of stromal tissue. + +We decided to perform the surgery first on the right eye and then after 20 days on the left eye.

After surgery, the patient was instructed to abstain from oral intake, thus she was treated with a 250mL infusion of C14-24 fat emulsion containing 75g (manufactured by Sichuan Kelun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) once a day via intravenous drip. The postoperative review revealed a triglyceride (TG) level of 19.71 mmol/L. On the third day after surgery, the patient experienced worsening abdominal pain and black stools, prompting them to seek medical attention at our hospital (Bazhong Central Hospital). Upon admission, a comprehensive physical examination was performed on the patient. Specifically, auscultation of the lungs revealed decreased breath sounds and the presence of crackles, indicating the presence of pulmonary inflammation. Abdominal examination revealed abdominal distension, generalized tenderness, and muscle guarding. Further, an abdominal CT scan was performed on the patient, revealing acute pancreatitis with pancreatic swelling and slightly decreased enhancement of the local density.

Despite undergoing another round of plasma exchange, both lipid levels and inflammatory markers remained elevated. At this point, the patient developed multi-organ dysfunction involving the cardiovascular, respiratory, and coagulation systems, necessitating endotracheal intubation. Blood perfusion with HA380 and HA330 was initiated to support hemodynamic stability. Following perfusion therapy, a subsequent examination revealed a significant decrease in lipid levels compared to previous measurements. Therefore, plasma exchange was discontinued and the patient was switched to oral lipid-lowering medications for continued treatment. By the fourth day of admission, coagulation function indicators had essentially returned to normal. On the fifth day of admission, there was a significant decrease in the patient’s lipid levels compared to previous measurements. However, due to the patient’s rapid respiratory rate, diminished breath sounds in both lungs, and chest CT findings suggestive of atelectasis, blood purification was implemented as an adjunct to the existing treatment plan to alleviate fluid overload. On the eighth day of admission, the patient’s lipid levels showed significant improvement compared to previous measurements. Whereas, the patient developed recurrent fever, and after ruling out pulmonary infection, we considered acute necrotizing pancreatitis as the cause of fever. Hence, on the sixteenth day of admission, we performed CT-guided precise puncture drainage and catheter placement at the site of pancreatic necrosis, during which purulent fluid with a dark red color was obtained. Meanwhile, we continued with antimicrobial therapy and other treatments. On the twenty-fourth day of admission, approximately 5mL of purulent fluid was still draining from the catheter, but the color was lighter compared to previous drainage. A follow-up abdominal ultrasound showed normal pancreatic size and shape, clear contours, and uniform echo in the parenchyma, with no dilation of the main pancreatic duct. The results of the follow-up abdominal CT scan are consistent with the ultrasound findings. Further review of the chest CT reveals improved pneumonia bilaterally, with minimal pleural effusion in both lungs. Considering the significant improvement in the patient’s condition, the patient was discharged on the twenty-fourth day of admission. Moreover, we have conducted long-term follow-up of the patient. The prognosis is favorable, with repeated measurements indicating normal lipid levels. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3243_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3243_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..bd6224bc7c19863e6a7c9d20485ea0a283e86923 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3243_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +An 82-year-old man presented at our emergency department because of aggravated dyspnea classified as New York Heart Association functional class IV.

The TEE annulus diameter measurement of 23.5 mm corresponded to that of the CoreValve transcatheter valve (26-mm; Evolute-R™, Medtronic, NY, USA). We punctured the left common femoral artery using the standard percutaneous access techniques, and peripheral angiogram was performed using Judkins Right 4.0 coronary catheter. Fortunately, peripheral angiography showed adequate size of the right iliofemoral artery for vascular access for the CoreValve delivery. Coronary angiography also showed no significant luminal narrowing. Then, we inserted a 26-mm self-expanding CoreValve through the right common femoral artery sheath and deployed it at the aortic valve under fluoroscopic guidance without rapid pacing.

During a passive range of motion, the first web space was tight with excessive adduction at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and carpometacarpal (CMC) joints of the thumb. The wrist, elbow, and shoulder ranges of motion were normal. On auscultation, heart sounds were well heard with clear bilateral air entry, no swelling, and no mass over the abdomen.

On complete blood cell count, twin A had hemoglobin of 12.5 g/dl and the platelet count was 356, whereas twin B’s hemoglobin and platelet count were 13.0 g/dl and 429, respectively. Based on the above findings, a diagnosis of type IIIB bilateral thumb hypoplasia was made for both twin children according to the modified Blauth classification,5 and pollicization was performed using the Buck-Gramcko technique, as described by Ezaki et al. + +Surgical Procedure +After obtaining informed consent from the family, the infants were taken to the operating theater. General anesthesia was administered with endotracheal intubation and the skin prepared with povidone-iodine and draped. The limb was exsanguinated and an Esmarch’s tourniquet was applied.8 Similar skin incisions were utilized for all four hands, which were designed with a fish mouth appearance over the radial aspect of the index finger, and the palmar incision was more distal than dorsal so that the glabrous skin would be placed over the palmar aspect of the index finger, which in turn would improve the appearance of the index finger in the thumb position. + + +The volar skin incision started from the radial aspect of the index finger and continued to the thumb, looking for a vessel within the hypoplastic digit to trace the radial neurovascular bundle of the index finger. After localizing the radial neurovascular bundle of the index finger, dissection proceeded further to the ulna to identify the proper digital artery on the ulnar side of the index finger and common digital arteries in the second web space. To allow tension-free index finger pollicization, the radial proper digital artery of the middle finger was ligated and labeled with a stay suture. The common digital nerve to the second web space was divided along the proper digital nerve to the ulnar side of the index finger and the radial side of the middle finger. No variation was observed during dissection. + +The intervolar plate ligament and fascia between the index and middle fingers were divided. The A1 and A2 pulleys of the index finger were opened to avoid flexor tendon buckling when the digit was shortened. The palmar digital arteries were protected with vessel loops, and dissection proceeded gently over the dorsal side. The dorsal flap was carefully raised to preserve the dorsal vein of the index finger. The extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and the extensor index proprius (EIP) were identified. The tendon of the EDC was severed at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint for subsequent suturing to the base of the proximal phalanx. The suture was placed over the tendons of the palmar and dorsal interphalangeal muscles before dividing them for later transfer to the proximal interphalangeal joint extensor hood. + +About 2 cm of the index finger metacarpal was removed with a distal cut through the physis, where physeodesis was performed to prevent growth of the pollicized index finger. Hence, a 1.0 mm K-wire was inserted retrogradely from the metacarpal head to the proximal phalanx hyperextending into the MCP joint. Using the K-wire as a joystick, the digit was positioned at 35° palmar, 20° radial abduction, and 80° pronation and was secured with the same K-wire (1.0 m). The EDC tendon was sutured to the base of the new thumb to act as the new abductor pollicis longus. The tendons of the first dorsal and palmar interosseous muscles were transferred to the radial and ulnar aspects, respectively, to act as the abductor pollicis brevis and adductor pollicis, respectively. The extensor index proprius acts as the extensor pollicis longus. The tourniquet time was 2 hrs and the vascularity of the new thumb was checked. Any redundant skin was trimmed and the wound was closed in an interrupted fashion. + +After releasing the tourniquet, arterial circulation returned within a few seconds in three of the four pollicizations. However, in one case the arterial circulation was delayed beyond the expected time despite the application of warm saline-soaked gauze and release of some suture knots. Subsequently, we removed the K-wire from the proximal segment, after which the circulation returned immediately, which may be explained by inadvertent kinking of the arteries. The digit was then repositioned and fixed with the same K-wire and perfused well postoperatively. The skin was then closed with a 5.0 plain gut and covered with xeroform, fluffs of gauze and cotton, and a long-arm cast was applied. + +Follow-Up and Outcomes +We removed the cast and K-wires after 6 weeks of immobilization and the pollicized index fingers were well-maintained in the thumbs position. The incisions healed adequately and no wound complications were observed. Hand physiotherapy was started to increase ranges-of-motion exercises, such as playing with different toys and encouraging them to hold a pencil.

The tongue appeared normal, with no diversion, swelling or necrosis. Palpation of the temporal arteries was normal. +Chest radiography was without pathologies. +The patient reported neither a history of vasoconstrictive medication, nor was there a history of radiotherapy involving any site of the body. +Laboratory results revealed increased inflammatory markers. C-reactive protein (CRP) was 71 mg/l (reference range, 0 to 5 mg/l) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 75 mm/h (reference range, < 30 mm/h). +On admission, the best corrected visual acuity was 20/400 in the left and 20/25 in the right eye. Funduscopic examination of the left eye revealed optic disc edema with cotton wool spots along the upper temporal vascular arch. The macula and the retinal blood vessels appeared normal on fundoscopy . +Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the left macula was normal and OCT of the optic disc confirmed disc edema in accordance with the clinical appearance. Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness was increased in the superior, temporal and inferior segments and the optic disc showed diffuse leakage (“hot disc”) on fluorescein angiography . Based on these ophthalmological findings, anterior ischemic optical neuropathy (AION) of the left eye was diagnosed. +Following this, the patient was referred to the Department of Rheumatology at the University Hospital Bonn for further evaluation. The patient underwent ultrasound examination of all arteries typically involved in GCA according to OMERACT protocol . A GE Logiq S8 XDclear ultrasound machine with software version R3 manufactured in 2018 was used. For sonographic examination of the axillary, vertebral and carotid arteries, a linear ultrasound probe with a range from 6 to 15 MHz was used, for all other small arteries including the central retinal artery an ultrasound probe with a range from 8 to 18 MHz was applied. +Vascular ultrasound demonstrated a homogeneous, concentric thickening of the intima-media complex, known as halo sign, in several arteries of the head and neck area [, ]. Ultrasound was performed on axillary arteries, vertebral arteries, common carotid arteries, superficial temporal arteries with both frontal and parietal branches, occipital arteries, facial arteries, and due to the lingual pain, also the lingual artery. Vasculitic affection with increased intima-media thickness (IMT) values above published cut-off values was observed in the common superficial temporal arteries on both sides, both frontal and parietal branches (up to 0.49 mm), as well as in the right facial artery (0.59 mm) and right axillary artery (1.09 mm) . A halo sign was also visible in both vertebral arteries. Exact values and the respective cut-off values are depicted in Table . +Furthermore, due to tongue claudication and lingual pain, the deep lingual artery, which is a branch of the lingual artery, branching from the external carotid artery, was also examined by ultrasound. It displayed a typical vasculitic halo-sign . Vasculitic IMT swelling led to markedly reduced blood flow and visible IMT thickening in B-mode. Peak IMT of the lingual artery was 1.38 mm. There was no occlusion of the lingual artery. This sonographic finding explained the patient´s symptoms of thrusting pain of her tongue. +In addition, transocular ultrasound of the central retinal artery was performed on both sides. Retinal artery displayed a systolic flow velocity of 8.2 cm/s on the left eye, and 7.5 cm/s on the right eye. This meant a marked reduction on both eyes, including the asymptomatic right eye. Until now, we have examined 25 healthy individuals with a mean systolic velocity of 14.4 cm/s (SD ± 3.2) of the central retinal artery. +The ocular ultrasound findings were in agreement with both the patient’s visual symptoms and the ophthalmological findings mentioned above. +Diagnosis of GCA was made based on the patient´s symptoms, clinical examination, laboratory results and ultrasound findings, following the EULAR recommendations for imaging in GCA . Therefore, therapy was promptly initiated. Due to the characteristical sonographic findings no biopsy of the superficial temporal artery or any other artery was performed. +The patient received an initial daily dose of 500 mg methylprednisolone intravenous for five days followed by a daily dose of 60 mg prednisolone per os, tapered over 26 weeks according to the GIACTA treatment protocol . Furthermore, tocilizumab treatment was initiated with a weekly dose of 162 mg subcutaneously due to the widespread affection of the arterial vascular bed. +With treatment symptoms and laboratory markers quickly improved. Jaw claudication and tongue pain resolved within days and did not reoccur. The patient was dismissed five days later in stable clinical condition. +Three months after dismissal a follow-up examination was performed. The patient was on 9 mg prednisolone per day, 162 mg tocilizumab subcutaneously per week and free of symptoms. CRP was normal. On ultrasound examination a relevant decrease of IMT values could be observed in all affected arteries. IMT of the deep lingual artery had decreased from 1.38 to 0.77 mm. Systolic flow velocities of both central retinal arteries had increased from 8.2 to 21.6 cm/s on the left eye and from 7.5 to 19.1 cm/s on the right eye. +At ophthalmological and sonographic follow-up examination 6 months after the patient´s dismissal, best corrected visual acuity increased from 20/400 to 20/40 in the left eye, the right eye was still without pathological finding. Funduscopic examination of the left eye showed a decrease of optic disc edema with a pale optic disc and narrow vessels. +OCT of the left macula revealed atrophy of inner retinal layers , while OCT of the optic disc confirmed absence of disc edema and a decrease of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness. +The patient was on 12.5 mg prednisolone per day and 162 mg tocilizumab subcutaneously per week and free of symptoms. The dose of prednisolone was increased for a short time by an external rheumatologist, due to recurring headaches and CRP-elevation between the follow-up examinations. +On ultrasound examination, a further decrease in IMT values could be observed . Flow velocity of both central retinal arteries showed stable values with 19.1 cm/s on the left eye and 17.2 cm/s on the right eye. IMT of the deep lingual artery had decreased from 0.77 to 0.34 mm. +Therefore, tapering of prednisolone and therapy with tocilizumab was continued following the GIACTA protocol . \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_444_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_444_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c925bbd7db71d8630c2e03d647480c5212dd088a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_444_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +Fifteen years ago, this now 40-year-old female had undergone a L5S1 discectomy .

She had first undergone back surgery [posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF at L4–5) plus spinal stabilization (L3)] for lumbar spinal canal stenosis 4 years prior to the current presentation. Two weeks after the initial surgery, she underwent reoperation because of screw placement errors, and her symptoms disappeared after surgery. However, her low back pain recurred after a fall 5 months before the current presentation. Paralysis of the lower limbs was not apparent after this episode. A sensory disturbance that had existed before the surgeries remained unchanged. No new lesions such as a lateral recess or foraminal stenosis, herniated nucleus pulposus, or fracture were found on radiographs or magnetic resonance images . The previous medical institution prescribed acetaminophen and tramadol for low back pain and performed a caudal epidural block with 5 ml of 1% lidocaine and dexamethasone 1.65 mg. However, neither treatment provided pain relief, and the patient was referred to our pain clinic. She had several comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, renal dysfunction, hypothyroidism, rheumatic arthritis, and gastroesophageal regurgitation, and was prescribed 27 different drugs by clinicians from five different facilities. Accordingly, we decided not to use additional medication for first-line therapy because of polypharmacy concerns and renal dysfunction and performed bilateral ESP block with the patient in the prone position. A convex type transducer was placed in a longitudinal orientation at the level of the L2 transverse process, 3 cm lateral to the midline. The L4 and L5 transverse processes could not be identified because of the echogenic artifacts due to the surgical instruments. The posterior surface of the L2 transverse process was identified using an aseptic technique. After the puncture point was anesthetized with 2 ml of 1% lidocaine, the needle was inserted in the plane of the ultrasound beam in a cephalad to caudal direction. Following confirmation of the needle tip on the surface of the transverse process of L2, 20 ml of 0.1875% ropivacaine (fourfold dilution of commercial product) was injected into the target plane between the erector spinae muscles and the transverse process . This procedure was repeated on the contralateral side. Twenty-five minutes later, the patient reported a warm feeling in her low back and almost complete relief from pain, which was approximately < 10% of its original severity. There was an area of diminished cold sensation extending from T12 to L5, with no change in the anterior and lateral abdomen. Unfortunately, the pinprick test was not performed. Pain relief lasted for approximately 10 h after the initial block. We repeated this procedure for a total of three times in a month. Finally, the patient reported that her daily baseline level of low back pain had diminished to < 40% of its original severity.

A history of pneumonia of unknown aetiology closely preceded the deterioration of vision. Five years previously the patient was diagnosed with follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (December, 2004). She underwent eight cycles of combination chemotherapy that included cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisone with later addition of the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. The patient was in remission for 19 months. Following a relapse with involvement of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes (February, 2007), rituximab and 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan were administered. A second relapse occurred 22 months post radioimmunotherapy (April, 2009). Four combination cycles of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and mitoxantrone were then undertaken leading to partial remission. Subsequent therapy included rituximab administered once per month for four months and once every third month thereafter. No further relapses were experienced from April, 2009 to April, 2010. +At presentation (April, 2010), her best-corrected Snellen visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/12 in the right eye and 6/9 in the left eye. There were large keratic precipitates and a mild anterior chamber cellular reaction present in both eyes . Examination of the fundus revealed bilateral findings of moderate vitreous opacities, pale optic discs, retinal necrosis with retinal infiltrates, several hemorrhages in the posterior pole and areas of peripheral retinal atrophy. Some vessels displayed extensive white sheathing providing them with the appearance of frosted branch angiitis . Despite prophylactic antiviral therapy (valganciclovir 900 mg twice per day and valaciclovir 500 mg once per day) and maintenance treatment with rituximab (800 mg once per three months), the most likely diagnoses were CMV retinitis or intraocular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Blood tests revealed neutropenia (0.9 × 109/L) with a normal lymphocyte count of 1.2 × 109/L. Serology was negative for HIV. +Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in the right eye for both - diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes (June, 2010). Vitreous fluid analysis confirmed CMV by means of PCR testing. Furthermore, cytologic examination revealed atypical lymphocytes with lobulated nuclei and basophilic cytoplasma on a background of lytic cells. Two specialists confirmed the finding of highly suspicious malignant elements in the vitreous fluid. Treatment with intravenous foscarnet was given continually for three weeks followed by oral valganciclovir given in a dose of 900 mg twice per day. Rituximab therapy was also maintained and administered every three months. The diagnosis of intraocular lymphoma is usually an indication for intravitreal treatment with methotrexate in addition to systemic therapy. Intavenous methotrexate therapy was not considered in this case as PCR testing confirmed infectious uveitis of cytomegalovirus aetiology. In such infectious cases, methotrexate could probably worsen the course of ocular disease. +Retinal findings responded well to treatment and retinitis regressed. However, BCVA decreased to 6/24 in the right eye and 6/12 in the left eye, perimetry revealed scotomas and moderate vitreous haze persisted in the left eye . The main cause of visual impairment was most likely pallor of the optic disc. +A relapse of retinitis in the three weeks following discontinuation of foscarnet treatment necessitated its reinduction and administration once again continually for three weeks (August, 2010). BCVA reduced to hand movements in the right eye and 6/18 in the left eye and further progression of visual field defects was demonstrated . A further recurrence developed within one week of cessation of this therapy. Consequently, the patient was retreated with foscarnet administered as a bolus three times per week (September, 2010). This therapeutic regime proved to be insufficient as retinal lesions once again showed signs of reactivation. Moreover, an increase in plasmatic CMV DNA copies was detected . The patient was admitted to a hematologic clinic and treatment with intravenous foscarnet was administered continually for further three weeks (October, 2010). Systemic examination for restaging of the follicular lymphoma was also undertaken. An MRI of the brain showed no signs of lymphoma. Cerebrospinal fluid was negative for CMV. No pathological changes were revealed by immunophenotyping and cytologic examination of cerebrospinal fluid. +Retinal lesions were in regression, but plasma CMV DNA copies were still positive giving rise to consideration of cidofovir therapy. The patient declined this treatment. Maintenance therapy with rituximab was also discontinued. +Two months after the most recent foscarnet therapy (December, 2010), negativity of CMV DNA copies in the plasma was detected. However, BCVA had decreased to hand movements in the right eye and 1/60 in the left eye due to a combination of optic disc atrophy and progression of cataract. +Patient follow-up was scheduled for every 8-10 weeks as retinal lesions were inactive . Nevertheless, moderate vitreous haze remained in the left eye resembling that which occurs in patients with intraocular lymphoma. It is therefore believed that both CMV retinitis and intraocular lymphoma contributed to the intraocular findings. This opinion was strongly supported in the results of vitreous fluid analysis of the right eye. Undertaking diagnostic-therapeutic pars plana vitrectomy in the left eye imposed a high risk and the patient declined this surgical procedure. +In August 2011, trepanobiopsy confirmed a transformation of follicular lymphoma into secondary acute myeloid leukemia. Palliative treatment was indicated for this disease. +At the last follow-up in March 2012, no visual acuity was recordable in the right eye (blind eye) and hand movements in the left eye. Bilateral progression of cataract prevented good fundal views although some white retinal lesions were apparent. +The patient died in another hospital in June 2012 where unfortunately no post-mortem examination was performed. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_47_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_47_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6a730e1af1a034c870dbc62d917b97df9e75a09d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_47_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 78-year-old asymptomatic male patient underwent evaluation for prostate cancer.

When we had extensive discussion with the general thoracic surgeons, there was concern that there could be a strong adhesion to the surrounding tissues.The orifice of the azygos vein was larger than in previous cases reported as well. The chest surgeons suggested that it would be safer to perform the surgery under the cardiopulmonary bypass by cardiac surgeons considering the risk of major bleeding. We anticipated from the preoperative images that resection of the AVA would be difficult. Therefore, we planned to occlude the AVA inflow with coil embolization, and to surgically close the outflow from inside of the superior vena cava (SVC), thus excluding the aneurysm from the SVC. Any compression of the adjacent structures, thrombus formation, or pulmonary embolism were not evident. First, we performed the coil embolization of the caudal AVA inflow and the second, third, and fourth intercostal veins via the right internal jugular vein approach . Next, through a reversed L-shaped sternotomy (right fourth intercostal space) , a cardiopulmonary bypass was established by right femoral artery cannulation and venous drainage from the right atrium and both brachiocephalic veins. Intraoperative findings revealed no adhesion of the AVA to the lung and SVC ; therefore, we considered AVA resection. The orifice of the azygos vein was 20 × 50 mm on the posterior wall of the SVC . Subsequently, AVA was depressurized, allowing the aneurysm excision by a stapler. We excised the AVA with a stapler device (Powered ECHELON FLEX® 7; Ethicon, Tokyo, Japan) and closed the orifice. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was 64 min, operative time was 394 min, and bleeding volume was 105 ml. Histopathologic examination confirmed the preoperative diagnosis; it showed few inflammatory cell infiltration around vasa vasorum, intimal thickening and hypertrophy of the medial smooth muscle cell.

The aortic root was dilated at 4.9 cm in diameter and Z-score of 4.66 . +Computed tomography angiography of the thoracic aorta revealed dilated coronary sinuses at 4.4 cm × 4.6 cm × 4.8 cm . A cardiac MRI study revealed a mildly reduced LVEF at 43%, with evidence of mild concentric LV hypertrophy (Video 1). +Given the patient’s clinical features, and the dilated aortic root, MFS was suspected, but he did not meet the criteria for diagnosis when applying the revised Ghent Criteria for Diagnosing Marfan Syndrome , with only the presence of aortic Z-score > 2 and 4 points for systemic findings. Therefore, genetic investigations were sent. The molecular genetics report for MFS and related aortopathies revealed that this patient is heterozygous for a sequence variant in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1), designated NM_000138.4: c.7016G>C , which is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p. Cys2339Ser. Cysteine residues in fibrillin-1 (FBN1) form disulfide bonds which are important for proper protein folding. The substitution of a different amino acid in FBN1 can create or destroy a cysteine residue and results in disruption of the disulfide bonds which causes protein misfolding that has been reported to cause MFS phenotypes., This particular variant has not been reported previously and is absent in the Genome Aggregation Database (GnomAD) population database, as well as ClinVar, which are the resources that aggregate, harmonize, and archive sequencing data and the relationships among genetic variations and phenotypes. +Different substitutions affecting the same amino acid residue (p.Cys2339Tyr; p. Cys2339Arg; p. Cys2339Gly) were reported to be pathogenic for MFS., +The patient was started on ramipril and metoprolol with titration as tolerated. According to guideline recommendations,, the patient underwent a valve-sparing root replacement, an excellent outcome, and recovery . There were no postoperative complications. At 13 months of follow-up, the patient’s shortness of breath was resolved and he was pleased to return to his excellent premorbid status. The patient’s echocardiogram at 13 months post-operatively revealed an intact aortic repair and graft, with only mild aortic valve insufficiency and an improved LVEF at 55%.

Presenting rhythm was atrial paced (AP) ventricular sensed (VS) at 70 b.p.m. Atrial and ventricular impedance, sensing, and thresholds were appropriate and consistent with prior values. Device settings were DDDR with base rate 70 b.p.m., maximum tracking rate 105 b.p.m., and maximum sensor rate 130 b.p.m., and paced and sensed AV delays were 250 ms. Ventricular intrinsic preference was enabled, allowing intermittent AV delay to promote intrinsic conduction and mitigate ventricular pacing. A ventricular high rate episode with corresponding electrogram (EGM) was noted . This episode commenced with a 1:1 atrial tachycardia (AT) at a rate of 150 b.p.m. with prolonged AV conduction, prompting AMS from DDDR to DDIR. Unexpectedly, this was followed by a period of rapid atrial pacing at 180–190 b.p.m., well exceeding the maximum tracking and sensor rates. Notably, there was no atrial anti-tachycardia pacing programmed on this device, and the native AV conduction was longer than the programmed AV delay. In addition, the observed AV interval during rapid atrial pacing appeared implausibly short. To understand the mechanism for this phenomenon, one must consider how pacemaker timing cycle parameters determine the pacing rate. +In ventricular-based timing modes, the cycle length between two atrial-paced events is determined by the calculated VAI, not the A–A interval as in atrial-based timing. This calculation depends on the base rate, or sensor indicated rate, and the programmed paced AV delay. This patient’s device was initially set to DDDR. While in an episode of AT, the device mode switched from atrial-based timing mode to a ventricular-based timing mode (DDIR). As shown in , the initial AT cycle length was ∼395 ms triggering AMS to DDIR, and intrinsic AV time was prolonged at 285 ms. Then, a perfectly timed premature atrial complex (PAC) fell within the post-ventricular atrial blanking period (PVAB) and was not sensed, thus failing to reset the VAI timer. With further AV nodal decrement, this PAC conducted with an AV time of 320 ms. However, the calculated VAI (atrial escape interval) had already elapsed at 258 ms, leading to an AP beat just before the PAC conducted to a ventricular-sensed event. This ‘pacemaker crossover’ created a short ‘pseudo-AV interval’ of 66 ms, and the ventricular-sensed event from the conducted PAC resets the VAI timer just after the AP beat. Ventriculo-atrial interval was then reached again at ∼260 ms, triggering another AP event with even slower AV time of 398 ms, once again ‘crossing over’ with AP occurring before VS event from the preceding paced beat. This consistent but prolonged AV conduction led to repetitive crossover with short pseudo-AV intervals resetting VAI. The VAI was calculated based on sensed activity, due to enabled rate responsive pacing, and an assumed paced AV time of 250 ms, leading to atrial pacing well above the max sensor rate. +This event was stored as a ventricular high rate episode because the ventricular rate exceeded 175 b.p.m.; however, it lasted <20 s, and the stored EGM did not capture the termination. Presumably, it terminated with an atrial-paced beat that failed to conduct, or due to a spontaneous PAC or pemature ventricular contraction. Importantly, there were no associated symptoms with this brief episode, nor were there any other similar episodes recorded before or within 6 months following. To prevent this episode from happening again, multiple programming changes could be made including changing the AMS from DDIR to a non-sensor setting such as DDI or VVI; reducing the maximum sensor driven rate, or shortening the programmed AV delay. However, each of these changes would have other implications. Therefore, another option would be to make no programming changes given that this was a single short episode with no associated symptoms. Even if lightning did strike twice, these episodes would be unlikely to sustain for any significant length of time given reliance on extremely long yet necessarily fixed 1:1 AV conduction. In the case of this patient, the company representative was contacted and agreed with our proposed mechanism and potential programming changes to prevent recurrence. However, ultimately no changes were made, and the phenomenon has not recurred since this initial episode. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_646_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_646_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ea4a0421728d3918d3119d892bc22e44d144a605 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_646_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital presenting with a two-month history of dry cough, dyspnea, and pain localized to the left chest and precordial region.

On physical examination, he was afebrile and had a pulsatile, firm subcutaneous mass with a diastolic and systolic murmur on the medial aspect of the right thigh. Peripheral pulsations could be palpated well at the right common femoral artery, but not the popliteal artery, dorsalis pedis artery and the tibialis posterior artery, indicating the occlusion of superficial femoral artery (SFA). Additional imaging, including the color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS, Fig. ) and computed tomography angiography (CTA, Fig. ) conducted to evaluate the potential embolic sources, revealed the formation of two aneurysms in the middle and lower segment of the right SFA , accompanied by the presence of mural thrombus. The proximal aneurysm was located higher than the Hunter’s canal with the maximal diameter of 15 mm, while the distal aneurysm (which was ruptured, but only with localized hematoma, not progressive bleeding) was located within the Hunter’s canal with the maximal diameter of 26 mm. The normal neurological, cardiovascular systems examinations and no significant medical history of hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, blood transfusion, genital ulcer and skin rash seemed to indicate our case was less possibly caused by the complications of these diseases. The popliteal lymph nodes were not palpated and clearly swollen in CDUS and CT examinations, excluding the lymph nodes origin. However, he recounted he had heterosexual extramarital unprotected sexual contacts twenty years ago, but denied any sexual activity since his wife died eighteen years ago. His wife had one previous abortion before death, but no syphilis testing was performed. These promoted us to perform the syphilis tests for this patient. As a result, the patient tested positive for Treponema pallidum hemagglutination antibody and rapid plasma regain (RPR, titer 1/16). The patient denied any recent inoculations, vaccinations or complementary treatments that may cause a false positive syphilis serology . Additional laboratory tests revealed the elevated levels of both the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, 58 mm/1 h) and the serum C-reactive protein (CRP, 15.4 mg/L), suggesting the inflammatory arteritis. A presumptive diagnosis of right femoral aneurysm secondary to the tertiary syphilis from unprotected sexual contacts was given. +In view of the active syphilis infection and the high vascular inflammatory reaction that may cause pseudoaneurysm and rupture of the artery anastomosis if surgery was performed, the patient was firstly treated with benzathine penicillin (2.4 MU, i.m) once a week. Four weeks later, the titer of RPR, the concentration of CRP and ESR were respectively reduced to 1:12, 12.5 mg/L and 42 mm/1 h, demonstrating the effectiveness of anti-syphilis therapy. However, the patient presented aggravated pain at the right thigh, which was considered to result from the hematoma enlargement due to the rupture and hemorrhage of the aneurysm. Thus, the operation treatment was prepared. In an effort to minimize the morbidity and mortality of femoral aneurysm repair, implantation of the Viabahn covered stent graft (Gore & Associates) was performed to isolate the aneurysm . Intraoperatively, a 90-cm, 6-F Flexor sheath (Cook) was advanced into the right common femoral artery in a retrograde fashion. Nevertheless, the distal occlusion of the right femoral artery was still displayed on the digital subtraction angiography (DSA, Fig. ), which may be attributed to the tortuous arterial wall compressed by the aneurysm and hematoma. Then a single 5-F, cobra-shaped catheter (Terumo) combined with a 0.035-inch smooth Radiofocus hydrophilic guidewire (Terumo) were inserted but they could also not pass through the distal end of the aneurysm. Subsequently, an incision was made below the right medial malleolus to expose the right tibialis posterior artery and the retrograde puncture was performed to place a 5-F dilator catheter (Cook). A 0.018-inch guide wire (Boston Scientific) was inserted through the dilator, however, the distal end of the aneurysm was still not opened. The routine open operation via a medial incision was eventually carried out to remove the right femoral aneurysm under the general anesthesia. Pathological examination of the resected aneurysm showed the proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum, with sporadic infiltration of inflammatory cells ; the fibroplasia in the arterial wall accompanied by local calcification and mucoid degeneration . Accordingly, the patient was ultimately confirmed with right femoral aneurysm due to syphilis. +Postoperatively, the anti-syphilis treatment continued.

She was eventually persuaded to allow a company to help her clean her home, at a cost of $8,073. The patient was present at the clean up. The sink was eventually found under a large pile of debris. The patient is now living at home, and receiving close follow-up with her Community Psychiatry Nurse and Psychiatrist. It remains to be seen whether these interventions will make any long-term impact to her living condition and health. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_68_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_68_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..15012e1aa056f5dcb885e7a7482778bc63964577 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_68_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +In May 2017, a 51-year old female presented to our hospital with over 1 week of fatigue. She has medical history of donating both bone marrow and PBSCs 8 yrs ago for her brother with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). G-CSF was used to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells for PBSC collection. Complete blood count (CBC) showed lymphocytosis (Lymphocyte 10*10^9/L), moderate anemia (Hb 61 g/L) and thrombocytopenia (PLT 20*10^9/L). Peripheral blood smear demonstrated 30% of blast cells. Bone marrow biopsy showed lymphoblastic leukemia involving a markedly hypercellular marrow . Flow cytometry showed the blasts expressed CD10, CD19, CD22, CD38, HLA-DR, but not CD13, CD33, CD117, or cytoplasmic MPO. Chromosomal analysis showed a normal female karyotype. The diagnosis of B-ALL was made. VDP regimen (Vindesine, Daunorubicin, Prednisone) was started after her diagnosis and bone marrow aspirate 14 days later revealed complete remission (CR). Then 2 cycles of VDLP regimen (Vindesine, Daunorubicin, Prednisone, Pegaspargase) and 2 cycles of MA (Mitoxantrone, Cytosine arabinoside) + Pegaspargase (PEG-Asp) regimen were administered. During this period, the patient remained in remission and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) remained clear after intermittent four time lumbar punctures. Minimal residue disease (MRD) monitoring by flow cytometry after each cycle did not detect blast cells with abnormal phenotype. Considering she has no other HLA-identical siblings or unrelated donors from China Bone Marrow Bank at that time and her brother, who was perfectly stable, a special type of auto-HSCT using her brother’s PBSCs was performed in December 2017. Before the transplantation, whole exome sequencing (WES) was done for both the donor and recipient to rule out occult genetic abnormalities in the stem cells. Results showed that only the patient, not her brother, has genetic mutations including SF3B1 and BRAF mutation associated with hematological malignancies in her hematopoietic cells, not oral mucosal cells [–]. Myeloablative conditioning regimen (Melphalan 140 mg/m2 d-3/d-2/d-1, Cytarabine 1 g/m2 d-3/d-2, Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/Kg d-3/d-2) was used. A total of 2.34*10^6/kg CD34+ cells, 13.0*10^8/kg MNCs from peripheral blood were collected and transfused into the patient. Neutrophil engraftment occurred at day + 11 and platelet engraftment occurred at day + 14. VP regimen (Vindesine, Prednisone) and MTX + 6-MP regimen were used for maintenance therapy. Bone marrow aspirate and flow cytometry showed that the patient remained in complete remission 3 months after transplantation. In May 2018, the patient’s CBC showed leukocytosis and bone marrow aspirate indicated disease relapsed with 53.33% blast cells. Flow cytometry showed the blasts expressed CD10, CD19, HLA-DR and partially expressed CD11b. Genetic testing using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique found that SF3B1 and BRAF exome mutation was negative. Re-induction chemotherapy with VDP regimen was administered, the patient achieved CR. However, after another 2 cycles of high-dose MTX+ PEG-Asp regimen, disease relapsed. In November 2018, CD19 CAR-T therapy followed by HLA-identical unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was applied and the patient remains in remission for 7 months till now. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_706_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_706_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..20f04f3ba3c34e1355ed562eba6c30710b2893dc --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_706_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +A 51-year-old man was referred to this hospital for a follow-up cardiology visit after a right cerebellar ischemia occurred 1 month prior to presentation, from which the patient had rapidly recovered without residual deficits.

He had been smoking until 2 years before presentation; his anamnesis was negative for alcohol or illicit drug abuse and his family history was unremarkable. His only medication was acetylsalicylic acid. +During the previous hospital stay, extensive examinations had been performed, including electrocardiogram (ECG), lipid panel, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and doppler ultrasonographic assessment of the supra-aortic vessels and of the lower extremities’ veins, all of which resulted unremarkable. +A few days after hospital discharge, the patient had suffered a single episode of intense subjective vertigo, tinnitus, confusion and orthostatic imbalance, which had resolved spontaneously in about 20 min without referring to any physician. +On presentation the patient was asymptomatic, eupneic and apyretic. His blood pressure was 155/90 mmHg on both arms. On physical examination a mild pectus excavatum was noticed. Cardiac tones were valid and regular, and a third tone was heard. Radial pulses were symmetrical and valid, while the femoral and pedidial pulses were slightly attenuated. +The ECG revealed a sinus rhythm at 66 bpm with normal atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction; a Q wave was documented in leads D2, aVF, D3, V5 and V6 and a negative symmetrical T wave was present in the same leads ; these signs were absent in previous ECGs. A TTE was performed, which documented a moderate depression of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (39%) and infero-posterior and apical akinesia with left intraventricular “smoke”. The patient was thus admitted to the hospital ward for further investigations. +On admission blood tests were mostly within normal range, including haemoglobin (13,8 g/dL), C-reactive protein (2,4 mg/L), high-sensitivity troponin T measurement (12 ng/L, upper limit of normal 50 ng/L), creatine phosphokinase (90 UI/L), creatinine (0,99 mg/dL), urea (31 mg/dL), aspartate transaminase (16 UI/L), alanine transaminase (12 UI/L), total bilirubin (0,6 mg/dL), INR (1,02), aPTT ratio (0,95), fibrinogen (292 mg/dL). N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide was slightly elevated (636 pg/mL, upper limit of normal 300 pg/mL). +Because of the recent stroke, the patient’s rhythm was monitored with ECG telemetry during the whole hospitalization period in order to exclude silent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes. Besides, a transcranial doppler was performed, which documented the presence of a moderate right-to-left shunt. Moreover, the transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed a PFO along with a double lumen in the descending thoracic aorta, rising the suspicion of aortic dissection. Consequently a computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed documenting a TBAD extending from the thoracic descending aorta just below the origin of the left subclavian artery to the iliac arteries bilaterally, the false lumen prevailing over the true lumen . The right renal artery and the inferior mesenteric artery originated from the false lumen, whereas the left renal artery, the superior mesenteric arteries and the celiac trunk all originated from the true lumen; the supra-aortic trunks and the ascending aorta were not involved in the dissection process. Within the coronary vessels, the CTA documented one-vessel disease with two small eccentric plaques in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery conditioning a moderate stenosis (> 50%). A hypodense area was observed in the subendocardial ventricular myocardium at the apical and middle segments of the inferior wall and at the middle segment of the anterolateral wall; no pericardial effusion was documented. A cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) was then carried out, which showed the presence of ischemic apical, apical-anterior and inferior late-gadolinium enhancement along with intraventricular thrombosis and severe left ventricular systolic disfunction . +Venous ultrasound of the lower limbs was normal. +Because of the recent episode of dizziness and orthostatic imbalance, following neurologist review, a brain MR was also performed, documenting multiple areas of altered signal due to previous old and recent ischemic events in the cerebellar and cerebral hemispheres . +Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis and rheumatic diseases were considered in the differential diagnosis ; a rheumatologic screening was performed, including complement components, rheumatoid factor, anti-nuclear antibodies, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, anti-cardiolipin antibodies and β2-glycoprotein 1 antibodies, all of which resulted within the range of normality. +A thrombophilic screening was performed, including tests for protein C and protein S deficiencies, factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20,210 mutations, antithrombin deficiency, hyperomocysteinemia and antiphospholipid syndrome, and resulted negative. +The presence of mild pectus excavatum along with a history of surgery for foot deformity raised suspicion for collagen diseases such as Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome ; the genetic experts, however, due to the lack of significant physical signs of collagen disease and the absence of aortic root aneurysm and ectopia lentis , considered these diagnoses unlikely and genetic testing was not recommended. +From a cardiovascular point of view, two theories were hypothesized. According to the first one, the patient had suffered from a silent recent type 1 myocardial infarction leading to LVEF reduction with consequent thrombus formation in the left ventricle and subsequent embolization to the brain causing multi-infarct encephalopathy ; in this scenario, the PFO would be a mere bystander. The second theory infered that the patient had suffered from deep vein thrombosis from unknown origin, causing encephalic and myocardial infarction on embolic basis due to the right-to-left shunt of the PFO; in this latter case, the atherosclerotic LAD stenosis would be an incidental finding. Unfortunately, whatever the main event was, either the recent myocardial infarction or the deep vein thrombosis, the question remained unsolved due to its silent course. +Following discussion between the cardiologist, the interventional radiologist and the cardiac surgeon, after multiple interviews with the patients regarding risks and benefits of the different treatment options, it was jointly decided not to perform endovascular treatment regarding the aortic dissection due to the lack of symptoms and the absence of parenchymal involvement, but careful monitoring was deemed necessary and strenuous exercise was contraindicated . A coronary angiography exam was then performed showing 50% stenosis of the proximal LAD coronary artery at angiographic estimation with patency of its distal segment ; a “minus” image along with slow-flow appearance distal to the lesion raised suspicion for coronary artery dissection and induced the operator to evaluate the stenosis with intravascular ultrasound imaging, which revealed a critical minimal lumen area of 4,0 mm2 with 80% plaque burden as compared to the patent lumen of the adjacent segment . Due to the high-risk features of the coronary lesion, after communicating benefit and risk information to the patient and acquiring informed consent, the operator performed angioplasty with the deployment of a Synergy™ drug-eluting stent. The patient was started on triple antithrombotic therapy with warfarin (because of the left ventricular thrombus), acetyl-salicylic acid and clopidogrel; low-molecular-weight heparin bridging was utilized until target INR (2.0–2.5) was achieved. The PFO closure procedure was temporarily postponed . +During the hospital stay the patient remained asymptomatic. Cardiac anti-remodelling therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and a potassium sparing diuretic was started and it was well tolerated. No arrhythmic events were documented on telemetry. At discharge the patient was asymptomatic and in stable haemodynamic condition. +After 1 month acetyl-salicylic acid was interrupted. After 6 months the CTA showed no progression of the aortic dissection ; LVEF was almost unchanged (38%) on TTE and a small intraventricular thrombotic formation, albeit reduced in diameter, still persisted on cardiac MR imaging . The patient was asymptomatic and he was advised to prolong his therapy with both clopidogrel and warfarin until future assessment with TTE and CTA after 12 months. PFO closure was not deemed necessary as long as the patient was on anticoagulation therapy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_719_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_719_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e412a1cda3fe318e8b8a3fb40d9ca457deb67374 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_719_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 49-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnea. Physical examination revealed a loud S1 and a diastolic murmur in the apical region. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe rheumatic MS with mild MR, as well as mild functional tricuspid regurgitation and a pulmonary pressure of 55 mmHg. Then, the patient underwent a three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to assess the mitral apparatus more accurately and exclude the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus . His Wilkins score was 8. This is a borderline score to take BMV. However, the patient prefers to take the percutaneous intervention rather than thoracotomy. Thus, BMV was performed via the antegrade approach under local anesthesia and X-ray fluoroscopy guidance. After transseptal puncture, a 24-mm balloon was used to achieve a single dilatation of 22 mm, after which the mean transmitral pressure gradient decreased from 19 to 11 mmHg. Intraoperative transthoracic echocardiography performed immediately afterwards revealed a significant increase in mitral regurgitation. However, the subvalvular structure could not be observed clearly because the patient was in a supine position. His vital signs remained stable with no definite symptoms, and he refused mitral valve replacement. He was discharged 4 days later after undergoing BMV. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography follow-up performed one month later revealed severe MR caused by a freely mobile part of the mitral papillary muscle . The left ventricular cavity and the two groups of papillary muscle were then imaged using three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, which showed avulsion of the posterior papillary muscle (PMA) from the left ventricular trabecular muscle. No residual papillary muscle attachment to the left ventricular wall was observed, confirming avulsion of the posterior papillary rather than its rupture . In addition, the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension increased from 45 to 53 mm. The estimated systolic pulmonary pressure increased from 55 mmHg to 81 mmHg. Therefore, the patient underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. After surgery, the patient recovered without symptoms. At 1-month and three-month follow ups, the patient was asymptomatic, and transthoracic echocardiography showed that the left ventricular volume and pulmonary systolic pressure were significantly lower than before surgery. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_721_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_721_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ddefb1c97c9bcda2285f768caced6f5f332fbaa3 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_721_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 71-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with pneumonia, and chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, lacunar cerebral infarction, and cardiac insufficiency.

His vital signs were as follows: body temperature of 37.6°C, blood pressure of 146/80 mmHg, pulse rate of 80 beats/min, respiratory rate of 18/min, and oxygen saturation of 98% on room air temperature. Physical examination revealed mild left-upper quadrant tenderness without rebound tenderness. Laboratory tests showed that a complete blood count and coagulation function were unremarkable. Serum biochemistry analysis revealed increased lactic dehydrogenase levels (LDH; 1118 U/L), C-reactive protein (CRP; 5.16 mg/dL), and decreased total protein and albumin levels. Tumor markers showed a mild elevation in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; 7.5 ng/mL), carbohydrate 19–9 (CA19–9; 109 U/mL), and a marked elevation in neuron-specific enolase (NSE; 270 ng/mL; normal value: <16.2 ng/mL). The level of duke pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 (DUPAN-2) was within the normal limits. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a well-defined, irregular-shaped, heterogeneous mass at the pancreatic tail . The MPD was dilated with hyperechoic structures . Abdominal precontrast computed tomography (CT) showed a 97 × 77-mm irregular hypodense mass in the pancreatic tail. Ascites was noted around the liver and pelvis. Dynamic contrast-enhanced CT revealed that the mass in the pancreatic tail had solid and cystic components. The solid components of the lesion showed hypo-enhancement, whereas the cystic components of the lesion showed non-enhancement during all phases . The MPD was diffusely dilated up to 27 mm (predominantly in the tail) without both obstruction and wall thickness, accompanied by marked atrophy of the pancreatic parenchyma. Multiple, well-defined, predominantly solid nodules were observed in the peritoneum and omentum, suggesting tumor dissemination. Following magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , T2-weighted images showed a heterogeneous and hyperintense mass in the pancreatic tail . The area corresponding to the solid component seen on CT showed hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted images with b factor of 800 s/mm2 and hypointensity on the apparent diffusion coefficient map, indicating diffusion restriction . The signal intensity of the MPD in the tail was high on the T1-weighted image and low on the T2-weighted image , suggesting the presence of a highly viscous substance like mucin within the MPD. The correlation between the cystic components of the lesion and MPD was suggested but not confirmed following CT and MRI. The MRI signal pattern of peritoneal and omental nodules was similar to the solid component of the pancreatic mass. Contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS), the solid component of the pancreatic tail tumor, showed mixed hypo- and non-enhancement patterns . Additionally, the hyperechoic lesions in the MPD showed non-enhancement, suggesting mucus clots. EUS-TA for the pancreatic mass was not performed owing to the intervening cystic components of the tumor and the avascular areas suggesting tumor necrosis. +The features of the pancreatic tumor with cystic components that were communicated with the MPD favored the possible diagnosis of IPMC. Since the MPD was diffusely dilated, POPS-guided direct tumor biopsy under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) guidance was planned to confirm the histological diagnosis. The ampullary orifice was dilated to the so-called fish-mouth appearance . After ERCP catheter insertion into the MPD, extrusion of highly viscous mucus from the pancreatic orifice of the ampulla was observed . Contrast injection during ERCP confirmed the correlation between the MPD and the mass at the pancreatic tail . Pancreatography revealed that the MPD was filled with contrast defects, suggesting large amounts of mucus. A pancreatoscope (SpyGlass DS, Boston Scientific Corporation, Marlborough, MA, USA) was inserted into the pancreatic tail along with the guidewire kept in the MPD. The wall of the MPD was smooth and no papillary lesions suggestive of mucinous neoplasm were observed. POPS revealed an irregular-shaped solid mass in the pancreatic tail after the removal of the abundant and highly viscous mucin . Visually directed biopsies were performed from the reddish and raised part of the mass in the pancreatic tail to confirm the histological diagnosis. Histopathological examination of the biopsied material with hematoxylin and eosin staining showed a marked proliferation of small round atypical cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scanty cytoplasm . Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the constituent cells were positive for synaptophysin , chromogranin A, and CD56 and negative for leukocyte common antigen, MUC1, MUC2, and MUC5AC. They had a Ki-67 labeling index of 90% .

The patient was presented to the previous hospital with chest pain. Despite undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and attempted thrombus aspiration, reperfusion could not be achieved (See Fig. ). The patient’s condition became unstable, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed interventricular septal rupture and left-to-right ventricle shunt. Consequently, the patient was transferred to our hospital. Upon arrival, the electrocardiogram (ECG) showed QS wave on V1-V3 and persistent ST elevation, along with acute kidney injury (AKI) characterized by serum creatinine levels 4–5 times higher than baseline. TTE showed an ejection fraction (EF) of 50%, a mosaic flow near the apical septum, leading to the diagnosis of ventricular septal perforation (VSP), with an akinesia of the anterior left ventricular wall. The patient opted for emergency surgery. The initial procedure involved general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with drainage from the right atrium and a venting tube in the left ventricle (LV). Cardiac arrest was induced through mild hypothermia using antegrade and retrograde cold blood cardioplegia. +Briefly, a median sternotomy was performed, the pericardium was opened, and the heart was exposed and examined. The right chamber appeared enlarged, and the apex displayed pallor with a wide infarct area. An incision was made in the infarcted region of the LV myocardium, parallel to the interventricular septum, extending approximately 7 cm toward the apex, the VSP then been located . The double patch technique, as previously described by Takahashi et al. , was employed using bovine pericardial patches. The bovine patch was cut with a diameter 2 cm larger than the VSP for the right ventricle (RV) patch (R-patch), while the left ventricle (LV) patch (L-patch) was sized adequately to exclude the VSP, the infarcted area of the LV, and the LV incision. After confirming hemostasis, the heart was closed, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) (See Fig. ). +The patient remained in the ICU for 9 days. Dialysis was required initially due to worsening kidney injury from the preoperative AKI, but the patient’s condition stabilized, and continuous dialysis was no longer necessary. TTE performed 2 weeks after surgery indicated a shunt, but no signs of heart failure were observed. Thus, the patient received medication and was discharged 23 days after the surgery. +As an outpatient, the patient returned to the hospital after 22 days with chest discomfort. Mild pleural effusion was confirmed, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a left-to-right shunt through the previous patch. Following approximately 6 days of medication administration in the hospital, the patient’s condition stabilized, and discharge was granted. However, the patient returned again after 2 weeks of being discharged, presenting with general malaise and decreased kidney function. TTE showed blood flow from the left to right ventricle, with EF of 55% and Qp/Qs = 1.7. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of a midventricular perforation measuring approximately 12 mm in diameter, leading to the decision to proceed with VSP repair surgery (See Fig. ). +The second surgery was performed on the 15th day after initiating medication in the hospital. A median incision was made, carefully exposing the heart, and establishing a CPB machine. The second surgery employed a double patch technique. Briefly, trans epicardial echocardiogram was performed to locate the VSP. The RV was accessed near the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) through a 4 cm incision toward the apex, positioned 1 cm laterally to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). As the distal LAD had already been damaged from the previous myocardial infarction, the RV was cautiously dissected to avoid injury to the first diagonal branch of LAD. The ruptured wall was confirmed, and RVOT was observed, with trabeculae being cut to enhance visibility . A bovine pericardium patch, measuring 3 cm in diameter and circular in shape, was prepared. The thread was passed from the LV lumen to the LV free wall and from the interventricular septal wall to the RV lumen using 3 − 0 MH sutures. The patch was then pulled into the LV chamber by pulling the thread, and a single ligation was used for suturing, as shown in Fig. Another patch was prepared in a similar manner, with the thread applied from the opposite side and sutured with continuous sutures, securing it to the front side of the interventricular septum. A thread was passed from the LV free wall, near the previous suture, to the RV free wall, closing the RV with teflon felt and tying it with a mattress suture. An additional continuous suture was applied externally between the LV teflon felt and RV teflon felt to ensure closure. A pacing lead was placed in the right atrium and right ventricle, and an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was inserted through the right common femoral artery. After confirming hemostasis, the chest was closed. +The patient remained in the ICU for 5 days, with a maximum creatinine level of 1.55, and experienced no postoperative complications. The IABP was removed 3 days after surgery, and the pacing lead was removed 4 days later. The patient was discharged 4 days after the removal of the pacing lead, displaying stability and no signs of heart failure. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_900_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_900_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1edec71fe813be630d570d13fbbcdce80c741e0d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_900_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +During the course of a respiratory infection, a 26-year old male exhibited gait imbalance, numbness and “pins and needles” the lower-limbs.

CTAP also showed mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy which was deemed non-specific by size criteria. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_953_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_953_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d9c404a7f649b57ee649b2f71dc9cfa7404db694 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_953_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 54-year-old white man with a past medical history of right maxillary sinus adenoid cystic carcinoma with metastatic lesions to lung and vertebrae, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis presented to our emergency room in June 2016 with mental status changes accompanied by abdominal pain, dyspnea, and fever. He was not on active therapy for his malignancy. He previously received a trial regimen of coenzyme Q10, 12 g every 3 days, from October 2015 to April 2016. His past medical history was remarkable for two prior episodes of ascites and 3 months of progressive liver dysfunction and coagulopathy . He had atorvastatin-induced myalgias leading to its discontinuation in April 2016 although his creatine kinase levels were not elevated. He was taking increasing doses of acetaminophen (2 grams daily) prior to admission. His physical examination vital signs were stable with one recorded febrile episode. In general, he appeared ill and lethargic, and was only oriented to person. He exhibited diminished bibasilar breath sounds, ascites with guarding, hypoactive bowel sounds, right lower quadrant tenderness, and hepatosplenomegaly. +Laboratory data were remarkable for hyperferritinemia, hypofibrinogenemia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia along with elevated transaminases and coagulopathy . A peripheral blood smear showed neutrophilia, monocytosis, and reticulocytopenia. No microangiopathic changes were seen. Extensive platelet clumping was noted. +Imaging studies revealed small pleural effusions, ascites, and hepatosplenomegaly with no evidence of portal hypertension or splanchnic thrombosis. We were suspicious of HLH in light of laboratory and physical examination findings. Additional differential diagnosis workup – infectious, autoimmune, acetaminophen levels – yielded unremarkable results, including: serology for hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), alpha 1-antitrypsin levels, and antinuclear, anti-mitochondrial, anti-smooth muscle, and transglutaminase antibodies (immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG)). ADAMTS 13 activity was >34%. HLH-specific laboratory studies were sent, including soluble CD25 (sCD25), NK cell activity studies, and bone marrow biopsy. +He continued to deteriorate with multiple organ failure including renal failure, myocardial injury, and respiratory failure requiring intubation. Empiric therapy, considering the evidence of liver injury and the possibility of HLH, with N-acetylcysteine on a 20-hour intravenous protocol and dexamethasone 8 mg intravenously administered three times daily was initiated. HLH chemotherapy was not done during this time as hepatotoxicity risk outweighed benefits and a definite diagnosis was not confirmed. +As an attempt to expedite the evaluation of possible HLH, we isolated mononuclear cells from peripheral blood and evaluated expression of surface markers in cytokine-producing NK cells and cytotoxic NK cells by flow cytometry. We compared the profile with normal controls. The results, available after 36 hours, were remarkable for an increased expression of CD69 in cytotoxic NK cells, and decreased NKG2A in cytokine-producing NK cells in our case. The expression of CD69 and NKG2A in NK cells was evaluated in four other normal donors and the results were similar to the one acquired in parallel to the HLH sample . No differences in protein expression of other markers were observed by flow cytometry (data not shown). These findings included similar surface levels of OX40, GITR, 4-1BB, TIM-3, PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3, and ICOS in CD8+ CD3+ T cells, as well as effector (CD127+, FoxP3-) and regulatory (CD127-, FoxP3+) CD4+ CD3+ T cells; similar expression of NKp44, NKG2C, NKG2D, 4-1BB, NKp30, and NKp46 in NK cells (CD56+ CD3-); and similar expression of CD28, CD27, ICOS, Eomes, Blimp-1, Bcl-6, T-bet, Ki-67, and cMyc in naïve (CCR7+ CD45RA+), effector (CCR7- CD45RA+), effector memory (CCR7-CD45RA-), and central memory (CCR7+ CD45RA-) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The frequency of all the evaluated immune cell populations was also similar, when comparing cells from our patient with those ones from a healthy control. +Our patient’s bone marrow biopsy was performed 10 days after admission and delayed due to severe coagulopathy and demonstrated normocellularity (40 to 50%), megakaryocytic hypoplasia, and clusters of foamy histiocytes with ingested marrow cells. Fifteen days after admission, he fulfilled multiple HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria including hyperferritinemia, fever, splenomegaly, cytopenias, hemophagocytosis on biopsy of bone marrow, elevated CD25, and decreased NK cell activity by standardized studies . +He steadily recovered with the steroid therapy instituted for 12 days and supportive measures. He was weaned off intubation and sedation. However, he refused further interventions for HLH, namely etoposide-based therapy and continuation of steroid treatment; he chose palliative care and died 2 weeks later. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_978_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_978_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..025e681c90a95a86fd6baf28a798c7ae26a2287d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_978_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 78-year-old Chinese woman, gravida 2, para 2, with menopause at age 51, presented to the Department of Endocrinology with a 2-week history of 5 × 3 × 1.5 cm mushroom-like lump in her right thigh .

She had a 30-year history of type 2 DM and her HbA1c was 8.4 % (68mMol/mol) upon admission. There were several scars caused by chronic ulcers adjacent to the lesion . She denied any history of neoplasms. +The lesion was resected under local anesthesia. The sample was fixed in 4 % buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin using conventional techniques. Serial tissue sections were studied using hematoxylin and eosin staining, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry , and HPV type-specific PCR and genotyping. Blind evaluation of all results was performed by two independent pathologists. +Light microscopy examination showed that the lesion was mainly composed of malignant clear cells and signet-ring cells arranged in thick trabeculae or solid nests . The clear cells contained prominent vacuoles which were sharply demarcated and appeared empty. Each of the signet-ring cells contained a large cytoplasmic vacuole and an eccentric nucleus . Atypical mitotic figures were plentiful. +Periodic-acid Schiff (PAS), Alcian blue (AB), and mucicarmin techniques were employed to explore the nature of the observed clear cell/signet ring cell structures. The septa rather than the vacuoles showed positivity for PAS indicating the existence of glycogen . However, neither septa nor vacuoles expressed AB or mucicarmine, suggesting that neither mucin nor mucopolysaccharides existed (data not shown). In line with the above results, the septa expressed cytokeratin AE1/AE3, CK5/6, CK14, and CK19 . CK5/6 is a high molecular weight cytokeratin wihic is usually up-regulated in neoplasms of epithelial origin, including cSCC. Although malignant cells did not express mutant p53, they displayed strong and diffuse positivity for p63, another member of the p53 family playing an important role in normal epithelial development and differentiation . We also found the increased expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR2), a downstream effector of p63 . Nucleus immunoreactivity for Ki-67 is a hallmark of high cell proliferation. In the sections, less than 5 % of cancer cells expressed Ki-67 . Malignant cells exhibited negativity for CK7, CK8, CK18, CK20, P16, and c-erbB-2 (data not shown). +DNA was extracted from FFPE tissue sections and purified using the TIANamp FFPE DNA Kit (TIANGEN, Beijing, China).

PCR was performed with a 25 ul reaction system, which contained 1 ul (89 ng) DNA template and 0.75 ul DNA Taq polymerase. Amplification was carried out for 40 cycles in the CFX96 TouchTM Real-Time PCR Detection System (BIO-RAD, USA). HPV genotyping was performed using the HPV GenoArray test kit (Hybribio, Chaozhou, China), which identifies 15 high-risk HPV types (HPV type 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) and 6 low-risk HPV types (HPV type 6, 11, 42, 43, 44, and 81) using flow-through hybridization and gene chips.
