In the first six months, the patient indicated the swelling was painless, only later becoming painful as the size increased. +Local examination found a diffuse 5 × 4 cm firm to cystic mass with restricted mobility in the right preauricular region. Examination of the oral cavity, ear, cranial nerves, and other systems was unremarkable. MRI analysis indicated a large mass in the right infratemporal fossa with significant infiltration into the adjoining muscles. This mass was hypo-isointense on T1 and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2 weighted images . The mass had significant enhancement in post-contrast MRI . Hematological and biochemistry analyses were normal. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed a monotonous population of small, round lymphoid cells with regular nuclei, compact chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, and scant basophilic cytoplasm. These findings were consistent with NHL. Diagnostic biopsy of the tissue confirmed small lymphocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patient was investigated further to determine the staging of the NHL, but no lymph node or other organ was found to be involved. The patient was scheduled for chemo-radiation treatment and given nine cycles of the CHOP regime (cyclophosphamide, doxarubicine, vicristine, and prednisolone) and a total of 55G radiation in 25 fractions over five weeks. The patient remained asymptomatic for seven months. +In Nov 2007, the patient again presented with similar symptoms.

For a couple of months prior to her visit, she had been aware of an abnormal sensation in her left mandible, which gradually progressed to mild pain and numbness. She visited a general dental practitioner, who diagnosed her condition as osteomyelitis and referred her to our department. Her medical and family histories were unremarkable. On initial assessment, no obvious systemic symptoms were evident. A panoramic radiograph showed a widening of the periodontal ligament space, periapical bone loss in tooth #37, and a diffuse radiolucent lesion involving the left body of her mandible, with an indistinct cortical margin and ill-defined cortical borders of the inferior alveolar nerve canal . Moreover, the radiograph also showed that tooth #37 had previously been treated endodontically. Therefore, a diagnosis of apical periodontitis was suggested and endodontic treatment was performed; however, her symptoms were not relieved. Consequently, a neoplastic lesion was highly suspected and findings of a biopsy of the apical tissue after extraction of tooth #37 resulted in a histopathological diagnosis of tissue inflammation. However, after the biopsy, a gradual progressive swelling of the left mandible occurred . Computed tomography (CT) showed an enhanced lesion on the left mandible, and magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed abnormally high-intensity signal in the bone marrow, with surrounding soft tissue mass . Therefore, we performed an incisional biopsy of the swollen area, the findings of which resulted in a histopathological diagnosis of osteoblastic-type osteosarcoma of the mandible. She was then scheduled for radical surgery combined with neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy based on the regimen used in a multi-institutional clinical study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in extragnathic osteosarcoma (NECO study) in Japan . In the NECO study, neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisted of two courses of high-dose (HD) methotrexate (MTX) followed by a course of cisplatin (CDDP) and adriamycin (ADR) as phase I chemotherapy. After phase I chemotherapy was completed, the response to induction chemotherapy was evaluated. If the treatment response was assessed as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD), four courses of HD-MTX and a course of CDDP and ADR were administered. In contrast, if the treatment was assessed on the basis of the response as “not effective, with progressive disease (PD),” the chemotherapy regimen was changed to HD ifosfamide (IFO). Toxic effects during chemotherapy were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0. Following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumors were assessed using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) after determining their sizes using CT and MRI. In the current patient, the swelling increased rapidly during the phase I neoadjuvant chemotherapy . CT and MRI also revealed marked progression of the lesion , and laboratory data showed marked elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase. On the basis of these data, we assessed the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy as not effective, with PD. Therefore, the neoadjuvant chemotherapy was suspended and radical surgery took precedence before the lesion grew to an unresectable size. She was then treated with radical surgery consisting of a hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction using a free vascularized latissimus dorsi pedicle flap and rigid titanium reconstruction plate. On histologic examination, the tumor was composed of stellate cells, which were large and atypical . Highly atypical cells produced osteoid and immature bone. Moreover, chondroid matrices were also observed. Taken together, these findings indicated that the therapeutic response was poor, assessed as grade 0 (tumor necrosis area <90%). On postoperative day 25, adjuvant chemotherapy was started. Adjuvant chemotherapy was also performed in accordance with the NECO study regimen, with slight modifications. The adjuvant chemotherapy regimen included two courses of HD-IFO followed by a course of CDDP and ADR, and the same regimen was repeated for a total of three cycles. During chemotherapy, hematologic toxicities, grade 4 leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia were detected and the frequency of febrile neutropenia increased, requiring red blood cell and platelet transfusions and the use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor.

Furthermore, we informed them that their mother harbored the NBN pathogenic variant, which was potentially associated with breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer. Upon surveillance, no issue was noted in the cases’s breasts and ovaries; however, she displayed a branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) in her pancreas. We suggested she continue active surveillance of her breasts, ovaries, and pancreas. Furthermore, her 28-year-old daughter wished to undergo genetic testing because her uncle had died from pancreatic cancer at an early age. Therefore, we performed genetic testing at a single site for the patient’s daughter. Finally, the patient’s daughter underwent genetic counseling and was found to harbor only the NBN c.265C > T(p.Arg89*) pathogenic variant, which was probably associated with breast, ovarian, pancreatic cancer.

Her medical and surgical histories were both negative. On gynecological examination, we found that the mass was non-mobile and was 5 × 5 cm2 in size, with a location of approximately 3 cm from the vaginal orifice and closely attached to the vaginal wall. On rectal examination, we found that the mass located on the anterior of the rectal wall was approximately 3 cm from the anal verge. The pelvis MR scan and transvaginal ultrasound results showed a tumor, 5 cm in diameter, was mostly located in the space of the rectovaginal septum, with large portion protruding into the vaginal wall but only a small portion protruding into the rectal wall. Its boundary is clear . Colonoscopy revealed that the root of the tumor was located on the rectal dentate line . The origin of the tumor was uncertain. Based on these examinations, the gastrointestinal doctor and us co-evaluated that if we selected a transvaginal resection, we could intactly excised the tumor with less possible complications such as fecal incontinence or anal sphincter dysfunction due to its special location. The patient refused to radical anal resection for its anal complications. Therefore, we chose transvaginal resection as a better alternative. Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in a lithotomy position. Epinephrine, diluted at 1:40,000, was injected into the vaginal submucosa for resection. We incised the vaginal mucosa and separated the surrounding tissue until we reached the submucosa, keeping the tumor capsule intact. After exposing the tumor, we confirmed that it was located in the rectovaginal septum and partially encapsulated by the rectal muscle . We mobilized the tumor from the capsule and resected the intact tumor. The defect of rectal muscle was very small but kept the rectal mucosa intact. We vertically stitched the vaginal layers and horizontally stitched the muscular layer of the rectum . The postsurgery biopsy showed spindle-shaped cells were moderate differentiation and regular arrangement with clear margin by pathological examination . The results of histological examination showed that the tumor was positive for CD117, Dog-1, and CD34 . These findings suggest a moderate-risk rectal GIST that required follow-up.

The CT-angiography revealed no high-grade stenosis or vessel occlusion of the cerebral blood flow in the area of the right middle cerebral artery, even though the presence of a vascular clip reduced reliability of assessment. The cerebral duplex ultrasonography/transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) showed, in contrast to the left side, markedly increased blood flow velocities in the right MCA with mean values up to 180 cm/s (Vmax up to 300 cm/s), while the blood flow in all of the other cerebral arteries was undisturbed. The increased velocities were traceable along the entire M1 segment as well as in the M2 segments of the right MCA. In contrast to the preoperative transfemoral catheter angiography (TFCA), the subsequent right internal carotid angiogram showed clear signs of vasospasm along the M1 and M2 segments of the right MCA (see Fig. ). However, neither delayed cerebral blood flow nor hypoperfusion were found. A vessel narrowing with consecutive stenosis due to a suboptimally placed clip was ruled out. +The patient’s recent medical history included the microsurgical treatment of a right-sided MCA aneurysm 12 days prior. The patient had never experienced any episodes of uncommon or severe headaches. The unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) was found incidentally via magnetic resonance imaging ordered after the patient complained of a short period of slight gait disturbances. To avoid an SAH and consecutive complications like vasospasms, the patient elected surgical treatment (see Fig. ). Endovascular management was not feasible due to the configuration of the aneurysm. The review of the operative report and the medical discharge letter attested to an uneventful perioperative course. Clipping was managed by keyhole approach. A craniotomy 30 mm in diameter was performed over the right Sylvian fissure. The aneurysm was dissected after securing proximal control of the distal M1 segment of the right MCA. Temporal clipping of the M1 was not necessary. After clip placement, appropriate flow in all distal segments was confirmed by indocyanine green video-angiography and micro-Doppler. The postoperative imaging showed no sign of decreased cerebral blood flow. The patient was discharged seven days after surgery without neurological deficits.

The methods used to identify the organism were gram stain to determine whether spores are produced, short biochemical profile based on ammonia salt sugars, Lecithinase and mannitol (B. pumilus is lecithinase negative and mannitol positive) and DNA sequencing. B pumilus was reported to be sensitive to vancomycin and erythromycin. There were concerns that the patient had previously reacted to systemic vancomycin, so antibiotics were changed to intravenous clindamycin with vancomycin line locks given for 2 weeks. Blood cultures, taken both during and after this treatment, were negative. Echocardiography showed no evidence of vegetations at the tip of the catheter or in the heart. +Ten days after stopping the intravenous antibiotics the child presented for the third time with fever and rigors. A Bacillus species was again grown from blood taken from the central venous catheter. The central venous catheter was removed after 5 days treatment with intravenous vancomycin and a new central venous catheter was inserted. Subsequent blood cultures were negative and there has been no recurrence of further fever or infections over a 9-month period, suggesting the infection has been eradicated. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1086_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1086_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e27500b2174aa14b522104a2a253447830bf5834 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1086_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 68-year-old female underwent phacoemulsification + intraocular lens implantation + pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) + ILM peeling + 18% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) tamponade in January 2016 due to an epiretinal membrane and a lamellar MH.

By advancing the TAVI prosthesis under fluoroscopy within the subclavian artery an impediment at the level of the vertebral artery was sensed. The prosthesis was retracted and the location radiographically inspected. There was no severe kinking or harm to the vessel detected. Hence, the valve was reinserted and under slight resistance positioned in the annulus. After uneventful deployment of the prosthesis, function was assessed with TEE. It showed a 6 cm floating cylindrical structure in the course of the TAVI-prosthesis (Additional file ). Suspecting some intravascular damage, a control angiogram was performed, displaying a filling defect of the subclavian artery .

After successful suppression of blood hypereosinophilia with combination of prednisolone and azathioprine in recent months, she had been in the process of tapering prednisolone down to 15 mg per day. However, after dose reduction, her eosinophil counts slowly increased to 1989 cells/µL and levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were elevated from normal to more than 300 U/L with mild abdominal pain. Consequently, her dose of prednisolone was raised back to 60 mg per day. While waiting for admission for further evaluation, abdominal pain brought her to emergency room. +Five years ago, her first visit was prompted by symptoms of sinusitis, rash and eosinophilia. Three months later, numbness and cutting pain in both upper and lower extremities with fever, myalgia, and asthma developed. A nerve conduction study suggested multifocal sensorimotor neuropathy. Biopsy of the sural nerve revealed ischemic change resulting from vasculitis with prominent eosinophilic infiltration. Although perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were not detected, the patient was diagnosed as EGPA. After repeated intravenous cyclophosphamide pulse therapy with a high dose of systemic steroids, most symptoms were resolved. Sinusitis, presented as an initial symptom, improved after treatment at an early stage and otolaryngologic complication did not appear afterwards. +However, whenever the tapering a dose of steroids was attempted, she developed new symptoms such as myalgia and arthralgia. She even experienced dry gangrene in the fingertips of both hands because of arterial thrombosis when her eosinophil count increased up to 6000 cells/µL . Duplex scan for arteries and veins indicated the total occlusion of the right distal ulnar artery and left medial forearm ulnar artery. The study also revealed a total occlusion of both mid-anterior tibial arteries, whereas toes of both feet were intact as other vessels of lower extremities were not involved. Hypercoagulability was thought to be caused either directly or indirectly by hypereosinophilia. We recommended mepolizumab, a monoclonal antibody to interleukin-5 used to interrupt eosinophil production, to reduce eosinophil count. But the patient refused it because of cost. We added aspirin and calcium channel blockers after cardiologic consultation. After the affected fingers were dried up, necrotized fingertips were amputated by orthopedic surgeon. +Initial vital signs in the ER showed a blood pressure of 85/45 mmHg, a heart rate of 98 beats per minute with a temperature of 36.1’C, and a respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute. Physical examination revealed mild tenderness in the right upper abdomen without rebound tenderness. The complete blood count revealed leukocytosis of 17,660 white blood cells/µL. Absolute eosinophil count was 1120 cells/µL. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 29 mm/hr, CRP was 3.7 mg/dL and total immunoglobulin E was 107 kU/L. +An abdomen-pelvis CT demonstrated subcapsular hematoma in the right hepatic lobe . Hemoperitoneum probably caused by multifocal hepatic capsular arterial bleeding was also detected. There was no evidence of bowel perforation. In a previous CT scan taken 1 year before, there had been no evidence of any aneurysm changes in the hepatic vessels. A celiac angiogram demonstrated multiple, various sized hepatic aneurysms in both lobes . The small aneurysms resembled the appearance of a string of beads, characteristically observed in polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). Huge aneurysms larger than 1 cm in size were noticed in S7 and S8. Emergency embolization was performed. The huge aneurysm and the aneurysms with bead-like appearance in S7 and S8 were successfully occluded. Although several small aneurysms in S5, S6 and the left lobe still remained, no further embolization was performed to conserve hepatic function. +Meticulous review of the abdomen-pelvis CT did not reveal evidence of aneurysms in other abdominal organs. After emergency intervention, vital signs became stable and numbness of both hands and feet improved. Based on her clinical course, we strongly recommended to add mepolizumab to control hypereosinophilia and reduce the dose of steroid. After administration of mepolizumab in addition to the previous steroid and cyclophosphamide therapy, eosinophil count became stable and was reduced to a near zero percentage of total white blood cell count. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1239_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1239_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cbccea24dcba64321a76d6919638980e370980b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1239_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 48-years old Asian female was referred to our hospital with a recent history of weakness, myalgia and arthralgia.

White blood cell count (4.8 G/L) and platelet count (269 G/L) were normal, but anemia with hemoglobin at 7.8 g/dL was present. C-reactive protein was slightly increased (14 mg/dL). Urinalysis revealed glomerular proteinuria (proteinuria to creatinine ratio (P/C) 3.6 g/g) and microscopic hematuria. Kidney ultrasound examination showed normal sized kidneys and excluded obstruction. Thus, we concluded to acute glomerular syndrome and performed immunological laboratory tests. Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) (1/2560), as well as anti-dsDNA (292 UI/mL), anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies were detected. Type 3 cryoglobulinemia and complement consumption (decreased C3, C4 and CH50) were also present. Search for lupus anticoagulant, IgG anti-cardiolipin and anti-beta-2GP1 antibodies was negative. Finally, pANCA were detected at 1/2000 titer using IIF. ELISA showed the concomitant presence of MPO, PR3 and lactoferrine ANCAs with a strong positivity for MPO and lactoferrine ANCAs and a low positivity for PR3 ANCAs.

Except for 3 years of hypertension, there was no other remarkable medical history. The kidneys of donor after brain death were procured by an operation group. However, during harvesting of the donor’s kidneys, a branch of right renal artery to renal superior polar was inadvertently cut off. The artery branch with a diameter 0.3 mm arised from the bifurcation of abdominal aorta and renal artery. Subsequently the severed renal artery branch was anastomosed in situ with 7–0 prolene during the repair of the kidney. Although the lengh of the renal artery branch became little shorter, the major trunk of renal artery was not excessively stretched. The cold and warm ischemia time of the kidney were 5 min and 6 h respectively. The right kidney of donor was transplanted in the right iliac fossa. The donor renal artery with a Carrel patch of donor aorta was anastomosed end-to-side to the recipient right external iliac artery with 6–0 prolene, and renal vein was anastomosed end-to-side to the recipient right external iliac vein with 5–0 prolene, and the graft ureter was anastomosed to the urinary bladder of the recipient with a double J stent. Basiliximab was used as immunity induction on the day of surgery and the fourth day after transplantation. His immunosuppression regimen consisted of tacrolimus, mycophenolate sodium, and prednisolone. His immediate postoperative course was unremarkable. His blood pressure was controlled to 140–156/90–105 mmHg with nicardipine spironolactone, and furosemide y. The 24-h urine volume was between 1937 and 4100 ml, and his renal function. Significantly improved, reaching a creatinine of 151 μmol/L on 11st day posttransplantation. However, from the 12nd day after transplantation his blood pressure began to gradually increase to 170–174/103-109 mmHg.There was no positive presentation on clinical examination and ultrasonograph, and the level of creatinine and urine volume were also stable. So the nicardipine was increased. To our surprise, it was still difficult to control his blood pressure even though three antihypertensive medications (sustained-release nifedipine 60 mg twice daily, urapidil 30 mg twice daily, arotinolol 10 mg twice daily) were administrated. His blood pressure reached to 190/120 mmHg on 20th day after transplantation. There was a decrease in 24-h urine volume with 1620-1725 ml, and mild impairment of renal function with a creatinine of 194 μmol/L. A bruit became audible over the site of the transplanted kidney. Color Doppler ultrasonography indicated a decreased RI in intrarenal arteries and increased blood flow of the transplant renal artery, with RI of 0.45, the peak systolic velocity(PSV) of 305 cm/s and the velocity gradient between stenotic and prestenotic segment of more than 3:1, therefore, a vascular complication of TRAS was suspected. Diagnostic arteriography was performed through a retrograde contralateral femoral artery puncture on 22nd day after transplantation, and it showed a 90% stenosis of transplant renal artery, and the TRAS occurred in the distal site of the anastomosis instead of the anastomosis . We considered that the reconstructional renal artery branch stretched the trunk of renal artery, which resulted in the stenosis distal to the suture line. Two days later, after sufficient preparation renal artery angioplasty was undertaken through a retrograde ipsilateral femoral artery approach. As the stenosis might be high elastic due to the stretch, percutaneous transluminal stent implantation was performed. Because the artery branch situated on the stenosis, bare stent (6 × 14 mm, Express Vascular SD) had to be chosen to avoid effecting the flow of the artery branch. After the bare stent was successfully deployed, a second angiographic evaluation verified the effectiveness of the intervention was obvious. After the interventional treatment, the renal function and urine volume recovered, and his blood pressure was stably controlled to 121/80 mmHg with only two antihypertension (nifedipine and arotinolol). He was discharged on 28 day after transplantation with a creatinine of 108 μmol/L. Changes in clinical parameters over the 1-month treatment period is shown in Table . The patient’s renal function remains stable at clinical follow-up of 15 months. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1317_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1317_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c30e2610d68db2b6da8c71d8213191ede6c5ce36 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1317_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 25-year-old right-handed male was admitted to our department with a chief complaint of swelling of the dorsal aspect of his right wrist for 3 years.

Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level was 2.1 ng/ml, and serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level was 24 U/ml. According to these findings, we diagnosed the tumor as gallbladder cancer invading the liver and cystic duct, and we decided to perform extended cholecystectomy. +There were no adhesions around the gallbladder, while the gallbladder wall was thickened. The hard tumor was detected at the fundus. Intraoperative ultrasonography revealed the tumor did not invade liver obviously. Inflammation changes were seen around the neck and Calot triangle. After ligation and dissection of the cystic duct at the junction, the intraoperative frozen section of the cystic duct stump and 2 sentinel lymph nodes were negative for malignancy; therefore, we performed extended cholecystectomy with liver bed resection. +Macroscopic examination of the resected specimen showed a superficially spreading papillary tumor with thick mucus on its surface . The gallbladder wall was diffusely thickened. Pathological examination revealed that the gallbladder neoplasm was composed of atypical cells arranged in a papillary architecture along with the development of fibrovascular stalks. These tall columnar cells contained large amounts of mucus . Ovarian-like stroma was not detected. The nucleolus body was remarkable, but the tumor was noninvasive and showed no evidence of lymph node metastasis. These pathological findings were compatible with ICPN. In immunohistochemical staining, MUC5AC and MUC6 were strongly positive. CK7 and MUC1 were also positive, but not CK20, MUC2, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor. Immunohistochemistry indicated that ICPN was predominantly gastric type, with focal pancreatobiliary type. In addition, many lymphocytes and multinucleated giant cells had infiltrated the thickened gallbladder wall with prominent Rokitansky–Aschoff sinuses. These finding were especially seen at the fundus and were indicative of chronic granulomatous changes within the fundus . Based on these pathological findings, we diagnosed the tumor as an ICPN concomitant with XGC. +The patient was discharged on postoperative day 8 with no complications. She was clinically well with no evidence of recurrence at 3 months after resection. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1568_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1568_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0d59ff1503cffafadafb5de3fcdfba3952f67f7f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1568_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 70-year-old woman Gravid 12 was referred to the Tumor Clinic of Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in September 2013.

There was also no recent history of immobility. He was on no medication, either prescription or over-the-counter. The symptom onset was spontaneous and unprecipitated. The patient sought initial pain relief and self-medicated with codeine-paracetamol 30/500 mg and ibuprofen 400 mg. Failure to achieve adequate pain relief, along with evolution of symptoms with the development of numbness on the same side below the knee, prompted the patient to seek medical assistance. +On clinical examination, the patient appeared to be in severe pain. He was afebrile with normal hemodynamic parameters, with a pulse rate of 85 beats per minute. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements were 133 mmHg and 76 mmHg, respectively. Oxygen saturation was 97% on room air. His National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) was 0 based on clinical assessment. Systemic clinical examination was normal. On examination of the lower limbs, the right calf measured 45 cm in circumference and the left calf measured 44 cm in circumference. On visual assessment there was no rubor or blisters. However, the skin appeared tense and stretched. The right leg and calf were tender to the touch.

Whole blood analysis revealed hemoglobin of 155 g/L (normal reference = 130–180), with a total white blood cell count of 9.9 × 109/L (normal reference = 3.7–11) and a normal differential count. Platelet count was 275 × 109/L (normal reference = 150–450). Renal and liver function and coagulation parameters were all normal. C-reactive protein was 4.3 mg/L (normal reference = < 5) and the D-dimer level was normal at 327 µg/L (normal reference = 0–500). Considering the clinical context and near normal biochemical parameters, the initial working clinical suspicion was compartment syndrome of the right leg despite the absence of an obvious etiology. This was based on the classical presentation, especially when D-dimers were negative, making deep vein thrombosis unlikely.

His height was 160.0 cm and his weight was 50.2 kg. He underwent tendon fractional release of the bilateral tendons of the semitendinosus muscle, semimembranosus muscle, and biceps femoris muscle. Achilles tendon lengthening was performed on the right equinus foot using Vulpius elongation. His lower limbs were fixed with above knee plaster splints in the knee extended position and intermediate ankle position 2 weeks after surgery, and he subsequently used short leg braces. Preoperative passive range of joint motion values were as follows: right knee 35–130/left knee 20–130, ankle dorsiflexion with knee extension (DKE) 15/15, and ankle dorsiflexion with knee flexion (DKF) 35/35. At 6 postoperative months, range of joint motion was right knee 15–130/left knee 10–130, DKE 15/10, and DKF 25/20. Knee extension range and DKF improved postoperatively. Preoperative manual muscle testing showed the following: knee extension 3/3, knee flexion 4/4, ankle dorsiflexion 1/1, and ankle plantar flexion 1/1. Before surgery, he had begun crawling in the house. Before HAL intervention, he could not move with crawling because of postoperative muscle weakness. It was thought that muscle weakness was due to disuse muscle atrophy after surgery. +Hybrid Assistive Limb intervention was administered twice during postoperative months 10 and 11 in an outpatient department. Normal outpatient physical therapy was carried out in combination. The patient used the HAL for clinical study type S size (target 145–165 cm). A walking device (All-in-One Walking Trainer; Healthcare Lifting Specialist, Denmark) with a harness was used for safety, and the HAL intervention consisted of walking with the assistance of two physical therapists (Additional files and ). The HAL intervention session lasted 60 min, including rests (10 min) and time for attachment/detachment (20 min). The HAL suit has a hybrid control system comprising the CVC and CAC. The CVC mode of the HAL suit can support the patient’s voluntary motion by providing assistive torque to each joint according to voluntary muscle activity. This study used the CVC mode, which allows the operator to adjust the degree of physical support to the patient’s comfort and gradually reduce support as training progresses. Functional ambulation was assessed with the 10 m-walk test without wearing HAL and video analysis preoperatively and pre- and post- each HAL intervention (Additional files and ). We analyzed one gait cycle of the patient with Dartfish. Walking speed, stride, and cadence in the 10 m-walk test were analyzed. We took a walking video from the sagittal plane and analyzed the video in slow motion, pausing the image to measure the joint angle using the Dartfish Team Pro ver5.5. The angle of the hip, knee, ankle, and trunk in walking and in the gait cycle was analyzed using video. Video images were played back frame by frame, and the phase at the beginning of each gait cycle was confirmed. One gait cycle is defined as the movement starting from initial contact on one side till the next initial contact on the same side. The beginning of the loading response phase is defined as the initial contact, the beginning of mid stance is defined as opposite side toe off, the beginning of terminal stance is defined as heel off, the beginning of pre swing is defined as opposite side initial contact, the beginning of initial swing is defined as toe off, the beginning of the mid swing is defined as intersection of the feet, and the beginning of the terminal stance is defined as the vertical lower leg. +In the 10 m-walk test, the patient used ankle foot orthosis preoperatively, and did not use orthosis pre- and post-HAL intervention. He used the walker as a walking aid. +Table shows the results of the 10 m-walk test. Speed, stride, and cadence for walking were almost the same preoperatively and pre-HAL intervention. Post-first HAL intervention, speed, stride, and cadence were increased compared to pre-HAL intervention. This was maintained until the next HAL intervention and further improved after the second HAL intervention. HAL intervention increased walking speed from 21.7 to 32.1 m/min, stride from 0.40 to 0.47 m, and cadence from 54.23 to 68.9 steps/min. +Ankle angle during walking showed little change because he wore a short leg brace while walking preoperatively. Pre-HAL intervention, the dorsiflexion angle was large in the terminal stance and pre-swing, the plantar flexion angle was large in the initial swing, and there was a large difference between the right and left ankle angle . Post-HAL intervention, range of movement of the ankle joint became more narrow, left-right symmetry increased , and extension angles of the knee in the stance phase increased . Excessive dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the ankle joint disappeared due to extension of the angle of the knee . His extension angle of the hip did not increase and the trunk was leaning forward . Flexion of the upper limbs was strong due to spastic diplegia; therefore, he walked with the head bent forward. Because of the anteversion position, his hip joint did not show extension in walking . Although the horizontal plane and the hip joint were examined, extension of the hip angle in the pre-swing phase was increased . In the gait cycle, asymmetry between the left and right was prominent preoperatively . Comparing pre- and post-HAL, the proportion of terminal stance in the stance phase and swing phase was increased. Since the length of stride was expanded due to increased extension angles of the knee and hip, the ratio of terminal stance and terminal swing increased . +After HAL intervention, he was able to crawl and gained the ability to move within his house, similar to his status before operation. There was no adverse event such as fall or fractures during the HAL intervention.

He was hypotensive (85/55 mmHg), had a normal pulse rate and was tachypnoic (20 breaths/min.). The abdomen was distended; showed normal bowel sounds and rebound tenderness – consistent with a diffuse peritonism. Furthermore the clinical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory profile was consistent with systemic inflammation, acute renal failure and hepatopathy. Platelets were low with 41 G/l (normal range 150–450 G/l). Lactate and coagulation parameters were within normal limits. Antibodies for hepatitis A, B and C were negative. Urine analysis was unremarkable. The abdominal computerized tomography (CT scan) showed a big retroperitoneal abscess provoked by a diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon, as well as air in the portal vein system and in the inferior mesenteric vein (pylephlebitis). Ascites and hepatosplenomegaly were present . +Sepsis due to the described intraabdominal focus was diagnosed and a broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment with intravenous piperacillin/tazobactam and amikacin was started. After administration of fluids blood pressure stabilized. Cultures of ascites fluid were positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. In blood cultures Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca and Bacteroides fragilis could be isolated without resistances against piperacillin/tazobactam. In order to treat the intraabdominal growth of Candida albicans high-dose fluconazole was added. The patient was operated on the second hospital day to evacuate the retroperitoneal abscess (Hartmann's operation: sigma resection, generating a colostomy with the proximal end of the descending colon and a blind rectal pouch with the proximal end of the distal segment). Because of anuria haemofiltration was started after surgery. During haemofiltration low doses of unfractionated heparin were administered to keep the filter patent. +One week later – on day 9 of hospitalisation – secretions from abdominal drainages became bloody and cloudy with an amount of 2000 ml/day. The coagulation profile at this time was: thrombocytes 52 G/l, international normalized ratio (INR) 1.3 (normal range <1.3), prothrombin time (PT) 14.5 s (normal range <11 s), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) 44 s (normal range 25–34 s), fibrinogen 3.2 g/l (normal range 1.7–4 g/l) and factor VII 29% (normal range 70–120%). There was a progressive metabolic acidosis with lactate levels around 6 to 17 mmol/l (normal range <1.8 mmol/l). As the treatment with metformin had been stopped at admission, when lactate levels were within normal limits, the current progressive lactate acidosis was ascribed to ongoing sepsis. With raising inflammatory markers, antibiotic therapy was changed to meropenem and a second laparotomy was performed. A putrid retroperitoneal haematoma was removed. During surgery, diffuse intraabdominal bleeding required extended surgical blood coagulation and the substitution of 1 platelet (TC) and 6 packed red cell concentrates (RC), as well as 7 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP). At this time the patient received intraoperatively one dose of rFVIIa (70 μg/kg). The coagulation profile at this time was consistent with a DIC with platelets 62 G/l, INR 1.4, PT 16 s, D-Dimers 3.22 μg/ml (normal range <0.5 μg/ml), fibrinogen 1.2 g/l and aPTT 80 s. Because of the sustained bleeding the abdomen was left open to prevent intraabdominal compartment syndrome. Postoperatively high doses of vasoactive drugs had to be administered to maintain circulation. Severe metabolic acidosis (pH 6.9) with a lactate of 22 mmol/l was present because haemofiltration had to be discontinued during surgery. The bleeding remained uncontrolled despite further substitution of 1 TC and 6 RC, 5 FFP, tranexamic acid (Cyclokapron®), protamin hydrochloride (Protamin®) and von Willebrand factor concentrate (Haemate®). Therefore, a second dose of rFVIIa (70 μg/kg) was given. Twelve hours after the second laparotomy – in the morning of day 10 – a third laparotomy was performed. Again, a haematoma with diffuse retroperitoneal bleeding had to be removed. Surgical haemostasis and retroperitoneal cloth packing for tamponade were performed.

The patient denied any thoracic pain or recent trauma. Upon admission, blood pressure was 60/40 mmHg on both arms, and hypotension persisted despite a fluid loading of 2.5 L. A vasopressor support was promptly initiated (norepinephrin: 1,2 μg/kg/min). A bradycardia (54 bpm) with decreased cardiac sounds and distended jugular veins were noted. The patient had oliguria and mottled skin. A severe metabolic acidosis was observed (pH: 7.31; BD: -10.4 mmol/L; lactate: 6.76 mmol/L). ALAT level was moderately increased (62 UI/L) without increase in bilirubin or troponin. The electrocardiogram recorded a normal sinus rhythm with an incomplete left bundle branch block. Transthoracic echocardiography disclosed a circumferential pericardial effusion with a compressed right atrium and increased respiratory variations of tricuspidal mitral Doppler velocities. Left ventricular systolic function was normal, without regional wall motion abnormality. Contrast-enhanced thoracic CT scan ruled out an acute dissection of the ascending aorta and confirmed the presence of the circumferential pericardial effusion . A pig-tail catheter was placed within the pericardial sac using the subcostal approach under echocardiographic guidance. There were withdrawn 500 ml of blood, which resulted in a transient improvement of hemodynamics. Rapidly, hypotension resumed despite increasing doses of Norepinephrine (up to 0,7 μg/kg/min) and the pericardial drainage remained productive (450 ml/hour of fresh blood). This prompted a reoperation under extracorporeal circulation. The surgeon confirmed the presence of a hemopericardium with numerous clots in the dependent region of the pericardial sac. An active bleeding was identified at the level of the retroventricular coronary artery and of the epicardial surface which was related to a superficial laceration of the posterolateral wall of the left ventricle. The pericardium was thickened with several "sharping" calcified plaques in the vicinity of the bleeding areas. Hemostatic patches were placed and the posterior aspect of the pericardium was resected and replaced by a pericardial patch. The postoperative course was uneventful. On day 2, vasopressors were stopped and the patient was successfully extubated. The pathologic examination of pericardial plaques disclosed a calcified pericardium without specific tumoral infiltration or inflammatory process . No any sign of a tuberculosis origin was evidenced.

He received medical treatment at local medical clinics initially, but his condition still persisted without improvement. Progressed symptoms and fever were also noted after initial medical treatment, and, he was transferred to our emergency department (ED) for further evaluation. At the ED, the previous history of the patient was obtained from his family. This boy had experienced one earlier episode of AOM in his young-infant stage and experienced a single episode of acute sinusitis about 2 months prior to admission. Moreover, no any history of skull trauma was noted before admission. However, the physical examinations revealed general appearance as lethargy and neck stiffness with positive meningitis signs (Brudzinski’s sign and Kerning sign). After admission, blood was sampled for complete blood count (CBC) with differential count (DC) analysis, biochemistry, glucose levels, and blood culture. Immediately lumbar puncture with CSF survey (CSF analysis, bacterial culture, virus culture and CSF biochemistry test) was also performed. The blood laboratory tests showed leukocytosis with shift to the left (white blood cell (WBC) count: 29190/mm3, and bands: 4 %), and the results of CSF analysis revealed WBC count as 3240/uL with predominant neutrophils as 91 %, glucose levels as 55 mg/dL, and total protein levels as 160.5 mg/dL.

The cultures of CSF and blood both showed Sptreptococcus Pneumoniae 23 F. Based on the report of the sensitivity to antibiotics in the strain of 23 F, vancomycin was useful and given continuously for 14 days. To trace back his past history, about 6 months ago, this pediatric patient suffered from bacterial meningitis, and was admitted for survey and treatments. The CSF gram stain showed Sptreptococcus Pneumoniae. Both CSF and blood cultures also showed Sptreptococcus Pneumoniae 23 F. After complete antimicrobial treatment with vancomycin for 14 days, he was discharged home without complication. +To further survey the cause of recurrent bacteria meningitis in such short period, we analyzed immunological functions of this boy, including complements and various immunoglobulins. However, the results showed normal immunity. According to the previous history of recurrent sinusitis for several weeks, we suspected that recurrent meningitis may be due to a bony defect caused by chronic sinusitis. Sinus computed tomography (CT) was performed but only right side maxillary sinusitis was noted without any bony defect. Moreover, nuclear scan was arranged and performed for studying CSF leakage. Notably, the results showed CSF leaked originating from the right petrooccpital region into the middle ear . Subsequent high resolution CT (HRCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bilateral ears were both carried out. The HRCT reports showed focal enlargement of the right facial nerve canal, erosion of the bony canal at geniculate ganglion and tympanic segment with tiny high-density spots and the reconstruction HRCT showed multiple bony defect at petrous part of temporal bone . The MRI reports revealed multifocal bony destruction with CSF collection in the right petrous ridge (near the Meckel cave and facial nerve canal at geniculate body ganglion region), carotid canal and jugular foramen . Eventually, CSF leakage to the right middle ear was confirmed and this may explain the cause of the recurrent bacteria meningitis in this boy. Further surgical approach for bony defect was suggested, but his family refused and asked for medical treatments. Therefore, after complete antimicrobial treatments with vancomycin for 14 days, this patient was discharged home, and received conjugated streptococcus pneumoniae vaccination (Prevenar 7) by self-payment, which is not included in the program of our national schedule vaccination at that time. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1873_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1873_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..01a8bbb0cf1737814bf414c39867279546706250 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_1873_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 42 year-old, right hand dominant male presented with 10 years of atraumatic right shoulder pain, exacerbated by overhead activity and weightlifting.

Conservative efforts including oral anti-inflammatories, activity modification, corticosteroid injection, and physical therapy failed to provide longstanding relief. The patient elected to undergo definitive surgical intervention to include labral debridement, subacromial decompression, and biceps tenodesis. During diagnostic arthroscopy, the origin of the LHBT was found to be trifurcate, with origins arising from the SS tendon, superior labrum, and rotator interval (RI). At the articular margin, the LHBT was bifurcate . The more anterior of these two structures (2.8 cm) attached to the RI with its fibers blending such that the tendon was grossly indistinguishable from the interval tissue itself and separate from the leading edge of the SS. The more posterior bifurcate portion of the LHBT (3.8 cm) itself bifurcated with one portion attaching directly to the undersurface of the SS, while the remaining band attached to the superior labrum/supraglenoid tubercle . No fraying or gross inflammatory changes of the LHBT were appreciated . Tenotomy of all three origins was carried out using a radiofrequency ablation wand with care to avoid damaging either the SS or the RI tissue. Subpectoral biceps tenodesis was selected for definitive management to enable fixation of a single tendon.

She noted a lump in her right breast and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019: invasive carcinoma of the breast, of no special type, G2, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive (90%), progesterone receptor-negative, HER2 3+, Ki67 60%, staged as cT3(m)N3M0—prognostic stage group IIIB. +Her medical family history included maternal breast cancer at 68 years old and paternal CKD. The patient had multiple comorbidities, namely, CKD. When she was 9 years old, she was diagnosed with Fanconi syndrome. She has been on hemodialysis three times a week (medium 3.7 hours per session) since 1998. From 1982 to 1990, the patient was on hemodialysis as well, having received a transplant in 1990 that failed in 1998. At the time of the first oncology consultation, the patient presented a left arm aneurysm of the arteriovenous fistula, secondary hyperparathyroidism, secondary hypertension, severe pulmonary hypertension, uremic neuropathy, malnutrition, chronic hepatitis C virus infection genotype 2, prior acute colonic diverticulitis complicated with abscess with surgical management and colostomy, major depression, and status post-thyroidectomy and right neck dissection (May 2017) for papillary thyroid carcinoma. +The patient was asthenic, and her physical exam denoted malnutrition, a right breast lesion measuring 10 × 7 cm, right axilla and right supra- and infraclavicular lymphadenopathies, and right arm lymphedema. The remaining physical exam found no evidence of breast cancer metastatic disease (cM0). +Given the diagnosis of locally advanced HER2-positive, ER-positive breast cancer, along with the patient’s comorbidities and preferences (prioritizing tolerability and flatly refusing chemotherapy), neoadjuvant therapy with subcutaneous trastuzumab and oral tamoxifen was started in January 2020. The best response was a partial response with good tolerance and no cardiac toxicity. After 6 months of therapy, and repeatedly thereafter, curative surgery was proposed, which the patient refused, maintaining trastuzumab and hormonal therapy up until July 2022, when after 30 months of therapy, locoregional, skin, pleural, peritoneal, and lymph node progression was confirmed . During this period (until July 2022), the case was rediscussed in the tumor board, and alternatives such as radiotherapy were discussed and dismissed considering it would not be curative by itself nor effective palliating the lymphedema—the only local symptom the patient presented at that point. +At the tumor board and considering the advice of the patient’s nephrologist, first-line treatment with paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab was recommended. +The patient refused chemotherapy, so she was started on Phesgo® combined with exemestane in August 2022 (by then, the patient was postmenopausal). Phesgo® was administered every 21 days, 24 hours after the last hemodialysis session and 24 hours before the next. +Three weeks after starting Phesgo® and exemestane, a reduction in the dimensions of the breast and skin lesions was already noted . +In the first response evaluation by positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), a partial metabolic response was documented with a clear decrease in the uptake in the breast lesion, the lymph nodes, and the pleural nodules, in addition to a decrease in the pleural effusion volume . In January 2023, all the skin lesions had disappeared. +No adverse events were noted, and the left ventricle ejection fraction and strain remained within the normal range . +The patient completed 10 cycles of Phesgo® until April 2023, when some of the skin lesions reappeared, the breast lesion increased in size, and new left axillary lymph nodes were identified . FDG-PET in April 2023 documented disease progression in the breast, pleura, peritoneum, and lymph nodes . The patient maintained an ECOG-PS of 1 and started a second-line anti-HER2 therapy recommended by the tumor board. +Our report is, to our best knowledge, the first published case report of Phesgo® treatment in a patient on hemodialysis. The choice of Phesgo®, a subcutaneous fixed-dose formulation of pertuzumab and trastuzumab, instead of the intravenous formulation was justified by the right arm lymphedema, the left arm aneurysm of the arteriovenous fistula, and the limited vascular access options. Also, according to PHranceSCa trial results, most patients prefer the subcutaneous formulation, with the most common reasons being “less time in the clinic” and “more comfortable during administration”, which were very important to this professionally active patient, already spending much time in the hemodialysis center . In the absence of dose and schedule recommendations, we chose to administer Phesgo® on a different day from dialysis, which was conducted at another institution. Due to pertuzumab’s high molecular weight (148 kDa), removal of Phesgo® by hemodialysis was not expected . Despite prior reports suggesting that a lower glomerular filtration rate could be associated with an increased risk of cardiotoxicity for both trastuzumab and pertuzumab, our patient did not experience cardiac toxicity. Considering the limited safety and dosage data for aromatase inhibitors (AI) in patients with a glomerular filtration rate under 30 mL/min, we chose exemestane due to its minimal renal elimination (<1%) compared to other options (anastrozole 11%, letrozole 90%, and fulvestrant 8%) . In the case presented, Phesgo progression-free survival (PFS) was 8 months, lower than reported in the phase II PERTAIN trial, which compared the combination of trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus an AI with trastuzumab plus an AI, with a median PFS of 20.6 vs. 15.8 months [hazard ratio (HR) 0.67, p = 0.006]. While these results are encouraging for a chemotherapy-free regimen, it must be noted that one-half of patients received induction chemotherapy with a taxane prior to switching to maintenance exemestane. Furthermore, patients with CKD or other comorbidities and patients with disease progression on prior trastuzumab were excluded from the trial, which may explain the lower PFS observed in this case (–). One limitation of this report is the absence of pharmacokinetic data, which were not collected considering that they would not lead to therapy modification (in the absence of guidance for that) but would add morbidity and costs to the patient’s care. +To conclude, our report demonstrates the safe and effective use of the association of trastuzumab plus pertuzumab in a patient with end-stage renal disease undergoing RRT and raises no red flags to the administration of the subcutaneous fixed-dose formulation in this setting. More studies are needed to assess the PK of anticancer drugs in patients on RRT and its efficacy and security in a real-world population. Meanwhile, some important lessons can be taken from this case, such as the importance of a multidisciplinary approach including medical subspecialties, in this case, nephrology. This was key to allowing the patient access to innovative oncological treatment despite her comorbidities and in accordance with her preferences. Raising awareness and special recommendations are needed for this patient’s subgroup not only to guide drug use and dosing but also to preclude undertreatment, especially in the curative setting. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_196_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_196_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1bf51dce059feb2b3389efccb790d03c97881df5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_196_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 33-year-old man with a history of blindness in his right eye from a congenital cataract presented to the emergency department with blunt head trauma sustained during a motor vehicle collision.

The copy number amplification was deduced from a genomic stretch of germline polymorphisms with near-identical allele frequencies of around 0.25 (see Additional file : Table S1) instead of the expected allele frequency of 0.50. Retrospective exome sequencing of the initial cecum tumour tissue biopsy confirmed these mutations and the FBXW7 amplification and detected further major clonal mutations (Additional file : Table S2) that were not covered by the ctDNA sequencing panel. +Based on the mutation in the KRAS gene, chemotherapy with FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab (standard dosages) commenced shortly after initial diagnosis.

The amplification of the chromosome segment with FBXW7 was not clearly detectable any longer in the cfDNA (polymorphism allele frequencies 43–52%). After six cycles of chemotherapy, a re-staging by CT-scan was performed in week 15 and suggested a stable disease of the primary tumour and showed a regression of the liver metastasis .

In emergency surgery a right hemicolectomy was performed. Retrospective exome sequencing of the tissue samples obtained from the hemicolectomy (cecum, lymph node, pericolonic and peritoneal metastases) confirmed that the FBXW7 amplification was no longer clearly detectable in the cecum, lymph node, or peritoneal metastasis, but possibly in the pericolonic metastasis sample. The major clonal mutations detected in the pre-treatment biopsy remained conserved in all post-treatment samples, with no new major clonal mutations detected . +After surgery, a second line chemotherapy with FOLFOX + Bevacizumab was started. Unfortunately, short-term imaging of the tumour burden exposed progressive disease, so that shortly afterwards a 3rd line chemotherapy by Trifluridin + Tipiracil was started.

The patient presented poor postoperative course, with progressively higher fluid outflow through abdominal drains and abdominal sepsis, as revealed by symptoms and microbiology (Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in blood culture; Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli in the drains; E. coli and Streptococcus anginosus in the surgical wound), which raised suspicion of perforation of the previous surgical suture. As intraabdominal pressure increased progressively, the patient underwent a second surgical intervention at 9 days after the first surgery, which revealed a biliopurulent contamination in the peritoneal cavity caused by a previous dehiscence from a pyloric suture line. Therefore, based on intraoperative findings, duodenal exclusion was performed by gastric antrectomy followed by retrocolic Roux-en-Y (end-to-side) gastrojejunostomy and jejunojejunal distal (side-to-side) anastomosis. Cholecystectomy was then followed by external drainage of the common bile duct by placement of a T-tube, to prevent cholecystitis. Splenectomy was performed because of intraoperative bleeding. +The patient remained intubated and sedated, maintaining good saturation. He also had hemodynamic stability without vasoactive amines. However, total bilirubin levels continued to rise (from 4.15 to 6.8 mg/dl), and the patient continued to exhibit anuria, with urea 291 mg/dl, creatinine 4.02 mg/dl; pH 7.35, HCO3- 26.5 mmol/L, pCO2 47 mmHg, and normal anion gap (AG). The patient began treatment with an infusion of caspofungin for 13 days at 50 mg/24 hours, meropenem for 21 days at 1 g/8 hours, and again with vancomycin for 6 days. As the patient again presented very poor postoperative evolution, with fecal contamination of the abdominal drainage, a third surgery was performed 4 days after the second one, in which the patient underwent partial colectomy (due to the intraoperative ischemic appearance of the colon) and resuture of the pyloric repair. Pathological anatomy showed gastric and duodenal dehiscence, with an ischemic appearance of the transverse colon and perforations, foci of hemorrhagic necrosis (both mucosal and submucosal), secondary gangrenous inflammation, and multiple intestinal ulcerations related to calcified phlebosclerosis of the submucosal vessels. After the third intervention, the patient was in stable but serious condition. Hemodynamically, the patient was stable, with some hypertensive peaks (160/70 mmHg). Bilirubin levels improved, down to 2.19 mg/dl; however, the patient continued to have poor kidney function that required hemodialysis sessions at 6 days after the third surgery. Due to the improvement in respiratory function, extubation was carried out but failed due to weakness in the musculature. For this reason, a tracheostomy was performed at 29 days after admission. Teicoplanin was delivered at 3 days after the third surgery, at 400 mg/12 hours for 6 days by isolation in surgical wound exudate of Enterococcus gallinarum. An infusion of ertapenem and ampicillin at 1 g/24 hours and 1 g/6 hours, respectively, was started at 16 days after the third surgery but was suspended because of a skin rash. Linezolid infusion (600 mg/12 hours) was also started at 20 days after the last intervention in order to treat for Gram-positive bacteria. In the last days of life, the patient showed increased overall deterioration, with disconnection to his environment, oscillation between normothermia and hypothermia, and systolic blood pressure < 70 mmHg, which forced hemodialysis to be suspended. Furthermore, despite hemodialysis, creatinine peaks continued at 8.11 mg/dl, and urea at 190 mg/dl. After receiving palliative care, the patient died, 35 days after admission. No autopsy was requested. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2042_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2042_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e215f0bee88e50562aa9a1e82a6393dc1679451c --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2042_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +A 62-year-old man with metastatic stage IV squamous cell cancer (SCC) and no prior history of autoimmune disease was treated with nivolumab every 2 weeks (3 mg/kg) from July 2016 to April 2017, resulting in complete clinical remission of his SCC. Nivolumab was ceased in April 2017, after he developed musculoskeletal irAEs with disabling polyarthritis involving shoulders, elbows, proximal interphalangeal joints and right knee, classified as a grade 3 irAE. C reactive protein (CRP) was markedly elevated at 210 mg/L. Rheumatoid factor (RF), anticyclic-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) and HLA-B27 were negative, and radiographs demonstrated no erosive changes. Despite prednisolone (20–25 mg daily), intra-articular corticosteroid and sequential hydroxychloroquine (200 mg daily) and methotrexate (20 mg weekly; ), his synovitis remained active. +Given the lack of definitive therapeutic guidelines for rheumatic irAEs, the emergence of synovial biopsy-guided therapeutic approaches in RA and following our experience with arthroscopic ST biopsies, the patient underwent arthroscopic ST biopsy of his right knee in November 2017 (200 days following cessation of nivolumab). +At arthroscopy, nivolumab-induced synovitis was more severe macroscopically than the synovitis in comparator treatment-naïve early RA ST, with florid synovial hyperplasia and hypervascularization throughout (, and see ). Several ST biopsies were undertaken from areas of synovitis within the knee. Matched peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and SF samples were collected. ST, SF and PBMC samples from this patient were compared with samples from three treatment-naïve patients with RF and/or ACPA-positive early RA (defined as within 12 months of onset of symptoms and fulfilling the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria), from whom samples were collected at the time of diagnosis. Additional PBMC and SF samples were collected from the irAE patient at the conclusion of 6 months infliximab therapy. All patients gave written informed consent. +ST samples were analyzed using histology, and flow cytometry following disaggregation. Histology was performed on serial 5m sections from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded ST blocks. Sections were stained with H&E or labeled with the following primary antibodies for immunohistochemistry (IHC): CD45RO (Dako; UCHL1), CD55 (BioRad; C67), CD68 (Dako; KP1), TNFα (LifeSpan; C7952), IL-6 (Santa Cruz; 130326), and via a National Association of Testing Authorities approved protocol with PD-1 (CellMarque; MRQ22), PDL-1 (Ventana; SP263). Antibody-stained sections were incubated with horseradish peroxidase linked secondary antibody, followed by colorimetric visualization with either 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole substrate-chromogen (for CD45RO, CD55, CD68, TNFα and IL-6) or 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (for PD-1 and PDL-1). Nuclear counterstaining was performed with Mayer’s haematoxylin. Negative controls included the use of IgG isotype controls or omission of the primary antibody. Whole slide scans were captured on an Olympus VSI120 bright-field microscope at x20 magnification and sequential regions of interest compared for staining intensity. Semiquantative assessment of staining intensity was perfomed by two independent assessors using previously described techniques. +For flow cytometry, fresh ST was dissociated using Milytenyi Tumour Dissociation Kit (Milytenyi; 130-095-929) and the gentleMACS dissociator as per manufacturer’s recommendations. Matched SF and whole blood was collected for each patient at arthroscopy and for irAE only, after 6 months of infliximab treatment. PBMCs were purified using Lymphoprep reagent. Cells were washed and counted prior to staining for flow cytometry with Zombie UV (BioLegend) in serum free PBS, followed by washing and staining with CD45RO-UV395 (BD; UCHL1), PD1-BV421 (BD; EH12.1), CD3-PerCP/Cy5.5 (BD; SK7), CD8-Alexa647 (BD; RPA-T8), CD4-Alexa700 (BD; SK3), CD20-APC/H7 (BD; L27) in 2% Fetal calf serum. Cells were resuspended in 2% fetal calf serum ready for FACS acquisition on a BD FACSAria Fusion flow cytometer. Analysis of cytometry data was performed using FlowJo 10.4 +Analysis of the IHC inflammatory cell infiltrate pathotype revealed lymphoid (follicular) pattern of the patient with irAE and a similar pattern in one of the RA controls; of the two other RA controls, one had diffuse and the other low (or pauci) immune infiltration. IHC of ST from the patient with irAE revealed infiltrating memory T-cells (CD45RO+) and extensive CD68 expressing macrophages (lining and sublining) , and there were no detectable B cells; in comparison, two (of the 3) RA ST revealed presence of B cells within the lymphoid aggregates and slightly less extensive CD68 expressing lining/sublining macrophages. The irAE ST displayed abundant TNFα, compared with lower levels of IL-6 labeling . This differential cytokine expression was similar to that previously observed in a proportion of patients with RA. Finally, we detected abundant levels of PDL-1 labeling in both RA and irAE ST but there was no detectable PD-1 in ST from the patient with irAE . In summary, the synovial cellular infiltrate in ST was similar to the RA ST and was indicative of TNFα dominant RA-like disease. Critically, the presence of cellular intense and dominant staining of the proinflammatory cytokine TNFα in irAE ST influenced our decision to prescribe Infliximab (an TNF antagonist) instead of an alternative bDMARD such as Tocilizumab (an IL-6R antagonist) for this irAE. +We then performed multiparameter flow cytometry to further characterize infiltrating T-cells in ST, SF and PBMCs in response to nivolumab-induced irAE, and, to identify changes in peripheral and SF T-cells after infliximab treatment. +CD4 +T cells were gated and CD45RO and PD-1 expressing cells were identified . Abundant memory T-cell infiltration was observed in both ST and SF compartments for RA and irAE samples, with samples from PBMCs exhibiting lower memory T-cell frequency. Importantly, we detected a reduction in PD-1 labeling on T-cells from irAE samples compared with early RA controls. In particular, prior to commencing infliximab, there was approximately a 20-fold reduction of PD-1 +memory T cells in the SF compartment and 4-fold reduction in the ST compartment when compared with RA . Furthermore, while early RA comparators exhibited fewer peripheral PD-1 +memory T-cells in PBMCs compared with RA ST and SF compartments, we observed complete ablation of PD-1 labeling in irAE PBMC memory T-cells . +Commencement of infliximab (5 mg/kg) led to a dramatic clinical response , coupled with a precipitous fall in CRP to 0.36 mg/L. This improvement persisted despite weaning of prednisolone to 5 mg/d and methotrexate to 10 mg/week .

A witness said he had fallen from the condominium and had contacted electrical wires before hitting the ground. Prior to being transferred to the hospital, when the emergency medical service personnel arrived on scene, the patient had no pulse, but spontaneous circulation returned after 4 min of chest compression. On hospital arrival, the patient’s airway was maintained spontaneously, respiratory rate was 30 breaths/min, blood pressure was unmeasurable but the left femoral artery pulse was weakly palpable, heart rate was regular at 136 beats/min, body temperature was 36.1 °C, and Glasgow Coma Scale was E3V1M5. His right inner thigh was lacerated halfway around, and he was actively bleeding from this site. Blood analysis data on admission are shown in Table . We immediately initiated a massive transfusion protocol, secured the airway of the patient with endotracheal intubation and temporarily ligated the proximal exposed superficial femoral artery (SFA), deep femoral artery (DFA) just distal part after branching lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA), and superficial femoral vein separately. As we could not detect backflow from the distal artery, possibly because of intimal injury, spasm, or thrombus, and also as there was no time to expose this artery, we could not temporarily shunt it. As well, a tourniquet could not be applied because the injury site was too proximal to the torso. In parallel with preparations to initiate resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta via the left femoral artery, we packed the thigh and sequentially searched for other sites of bleeding because of the patient’s continued hemodynamic instability. Although we found no other sites of bleeding according to an extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma examination, subsequent plain pelvic radiography suggested the potential for retroperitoneal bleeding with iliac fracture. Considering the patient’s hemodynamics, we performed retroperitoneal packing by making suprapubic incision and entering preperitoneal space comprising the para-vesical and presacral space and then packing pads were placed. +After this was completed, the patient was stable enough to undergo contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). CECT showed fractures of the 4th lumbar vertebra and right iliac body concomitant with arterial extravasation at this site , so we performed transcatheter arterial embolization . Although CECT showed that the right SFA and DFA just distal part after branching LFCA were interrupted , narrow blood flow in the distal popliteal artery seemed to be maintained by collateral perfusion from LFCA as pulse doppler detected a weak pulse in the dorsal pedis artery. The ankle brachial pressure index at this time was approximately 0.54. After confirming good consciousness of the patient and resolving resuscitation-related conditions such as hypothermia and acidosis, we decided to perform revascularization of the femoral artery and vein by bypassing them with great saphenous vein grafts at approximately 24 h after the initial injury. The operation was performed with the patient in the supine position. Minor fresh thrombus was obtained from distal side of SFA and SFV by Fogarty catheter insertion and we could obtain sufficient back flow from both vessels. We decided to sacrifice the DFA and vein and bypass the SFA. The great saphenous vein was harvested from the left limb, and a graft of about 7 cm in length was anastomosed to the intact intima of the SFA . As the superficial femoral vein also appeared to be bypassable, we bypassed it with a great saphenous vein . All anastomoses were performed by use of 6-0 monofilament suture with the parachute technique. +The soft tissue was also severely injured with some loss of tissue apparent. We initially considered covering the anastomosed vessels with viable muscle, but as the tissue deficit was not completely uncoverable, negative pressure wound therapy was applied over the muscle tissue. +The patient was extubated on the 4th hospital day, and musculocutaneous grafting was performed 22 days after the initial operation following completion of negative pressure wound therapy. Postoperative CECT showed the patency of flow through the femoral vessels and the score of ABI improved 1.15. As adjuvant therapy, although we could not administrate anticoagulant drugs prior to surgery on the basis of concomitant injury, systemic unfractionated heparin infusion was used during and post 10 days after bypass surgery. And then we converted to oral administration of warfarin and controlled the international normalized ratio of prothrombin time at the range of 2.0–2.5. +The patient was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital 52 days after admission without any symptom such as swelling or intermittent claudication. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2069_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2069_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2ad6e727463ed0c247a5f1e68be3da16e97d7917 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2069_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 56-year-old man developed isolated paresthesias, weakness and cramps of the right upper limb over a period of three months. Previously he had been healthy with no history of long-term medications, engaging in variety of sports (cycling, running, cross-country skiing, bow-shooting). Neurological examination revealed isolated distal muscle weakness of the right upper limb (MRC 3), normal muscle strength of the left upper limb (MRC 5), generalized hyporeflexia and the presence of pes cavus bilaterally with normal muscle strength (MRC 5) and reduced vibration sense (ankle 4/8, toe 2/8) in the lower limbs. Slightly reduced pin prick and thermic sensation was detected. The patient was able to walk on heels and tiptoes. Mild ataxia when standing with eyes closed (positive Romberg sign) was also present. Chronic progression of muscle weakness followed during the next six months. The right upper limb showed increased distal weakness (wrist extensors MRC 3, finger extensors MRC 1, wrist and finger flexors MRC 3, intrinsic hand muscles MRC 3). Afterwards, involvement of the left upper limb with mild weakness and paresthesia also appeared (wrist extensors MRC 5, finger extensors MRC 3, wrist and finger flexors MRC 4, intrinsic hand muscles MRC 4). As a result, the patient had difficulties with fine motor tasks, such as buttoning or unbuttoning of clothes, unscrewing bottle caps and turning door-knobs. No weakness of proximal upper limb muscles was registered (MRC 5). Muscle strength in lower limbs was normal (MRC 5). +Nerve conduction studies (NCS) were consistent with moderate primary demyelinating sensory-motor polyneuropathy of the upper limbs with partial conduction blocks in some nerves (median, ulnar) and severe sensory-motor polyneuropathy of the lower limbs. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) showed prolonged distal motor latencies, reduced nerve conduction velocities and low amplitudes with prolonged minimal F wave latencies. Sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) in the upper limbs showed prolonged distal latencies, reduced velocities and low amplitudes. SNAPs in lower limbs were absent . Needle electromyography revealed a severe chronic denervation syndrome with sporadic spontaneous activity in upper limb muscles (biceps brachii, deltoideus, extensor digitorum communis, interosseus dorsalis primus, and abductor pollicis). +Laboratory tests revealed normal values, including the absence of paraprotein. CK (creatine kinase) levels were two-fold greater than normal. Antineuronal, antiganglioside and anti-MAG (myelin-associated glycoprotein precursor) antibodies were negative. Nodal/paranodal antibodies (NF 155, 140/186, contactin 1 and Caspr) were also negative. Genetic testing for CMT1A and HNPP (hereditary neuropathy with pressure palsies) yielded negative results. CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) showed a protein level of 0.54 g/L, normal cell count and absent oligoclonal bands. MRI of the brain, cervical spine and both plexus brachialis showed normal findings. +The diagnosis of Lewis-Sumner syndrome (MADSAM) was made at the time (according to EFNS/PNS criteria 2010). The treatment started with methylprednisolone 4 g intravenously. Oral prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) continued for two months. No clinical improvement led us to start with immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG, 0.4 g/kg/day, five days every month). After the 3rd cycle of IVIG, upper limb weakness transiently improved (right upper limb wrist extensors MRC 4, finger extensors MRC 3, left upper limb wrist extensors MRC 5 and finger extensors MRC 4). Despite the frequent and highly dosed IVIG therapy during the next two-year treatment period, weakness progression continued. Later, patient underwent three cycles of plasma exchange in period of six months (five exchanges in each cycle) without any clinical improvement. Finally, one dose of ocrelizumab (two 300 mg infusions) was administered off label as the last therapeutic attempt. The patient continued to progress despite ocrelizumab treatment (right wrist extensors MRC 1, finger extensors MRC 1, wrist and finger flexors MRC 2, intrinsic hand muscles MRC 2, left wrist extensors MRC 2, finger extensors MRC 1, wrist and finger flexors MRC 3, intrinsic hand muscles MRC 2). Moreover, weakness and muscle wasting spread to proximal upper limb muscles bilaterally (supinator, pronator, biceps, brachialis, deltoideus with MRC 4). Minimal weakness progression was also registered in the distal muscles of both lower limbs with (MRC 4). Therefore, in conclusion, intensive long-lasting immunomodulatory therapy was unsuccessful . +A survey of the patient´s family revealed signs of polyneuropathy in two other family members: the proband’s mother (79 years old, I.2) and his son (31 years old, III.7, Fig. ). Both of them were asymptomatic (they did not complain about any motor or sensory disturbance in the upper or lower limbs). However, both of them had an evident bilateral pes cavus, generalized areflexia and decreased vibratory sense in the lower limbs. NCS revealed moderate primary demyelinating sensory-motor polyneuropathy of the upper limbs and severe demyelinating polyneuropathy of the lower limbs with partial conduction blocks and prolonged distal CMAP duration in some nerves . +The LITAF/SIMPLE (ENST00000339430) bidirectional sequencing of the proband’s sample (II.5, Fig. ) showed a G > C transversion in exon 4 at position 348 (c.348G > C/p.Trp116Cys, Fig. and Fig. ) present in the heterozygous state. This novel, missense variant of LITAF had not been previously reported elsewhere and was scored as pathogenic by Predict Protein Open (Effect of Protein Mutations) software and other predictive software programs (GERP, MetaSVM, PolyPhen 2 and MutationTaster). Furthermore, the mutation was scored as 'pathogenic' by the ACMG (American College of Medical Genetics) criteria (PS1 + PM2 + PM5 + PP1 + PP2 + PP3 + PP4) . No other plausible, causative candidate variants were found in the proband’s genetic material by WES (whole exome sequencing). WES results were verified by the amplicon deep sequencing (ADS) method. PCR amplicons (545 bp long) were generated using specific primers (forward: actggtgttccttccccttt, reverse: tcgtttgaacctgagcagtg). The amplicons were prepared for sequencing using a Nextera XT kit (Illumina) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Libraries were paired-end (2 × 100 bp) sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq1500. The results were visualized on the Integrative Genomics Viewer and analysed for the presence of the particular variant in proband. The ADS verification resulted in obtaining coverage > 6000 × in all cases. The missense variant c.348G > C of LITAF was also identified in family members I.2 and III.7 which correlated with autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance .

He was also a former-smoker. Patient did not present with any ICC risk factors including biliary lithiasis, alcoholic liver disease, chronic hepatitis B or C infections, or primary sclerosing cholangitis. His family history was negative for any inherited-familial cancers. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 10 cm intrahepatic lesion in the left lobe of the liver, as well as stable right basal lung thickening . The latter was already described in a previous chest CT scan. Ultrasound guided biopsy of the liver mass demonstrated ICC (CK7+, CK19+, HepPar1-, AFP-). In April 2017, the patient underwent a left hepatectomy and sub-total gastrectomy and cholecystectomy. Histological examination demonstrated a Stage II ICC with vascular invasion [TNM staging, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition]. Post operatively he was seen by the multidisciplinary team. Genomic analysis of NRAS, KRAS and BRAF V600 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing, as well as immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for detection of HER2 amplification were performed on ICC tumor tissue. Both analyses did not show any type of alteration . Further genomic testing of EGFR was performed by sanger sequencing, but no alterations were found in exons 18, 19, 20, and 21 . In October 2017, a whole body CT scan demonstrated a 2.0 cm local recurrence in segment V of the liver . Patient received a percutaneous thermal ablation (PTA) of the lesion. In February 2018, a whole body CT scan demonstrated a new 3.6 cm local recurrence in segment V of the liver, close to the previously treated lesion for which patient received a new PTA. In May 2018, a whole body CT scan demonstrated a new local recurrence in segment V of liver and multiple lesions in segment VII and VIII . He then started a chemotherapeutic regimen with cisplatin (25 mg/m2) followed by gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2), each administered on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. Due to his poor prognosis, patient requested additional testing of the ICC specimen. An IHC analysis of ROS1 rearrangements and NTRK fusions did not demonstrate any alterations . A Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis by PCR of BAT25, BAT26, D2S123, D5S346, D17S250, NR-21, and MONO-27 showed a Microsatellite Stable (MSS) tumor profile. Lastly an IHC analysis of MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and MLH1 demonstrated no alterations of the mismatch repair system . Following six cycles of cisplatin and gemcitabine, in September 2018, a whole-body CT scan demonstrated a stable disease (according to RECIST criteria v 1.1). The patient received an additional PTA of the lesions in segments V, VII, and VIII of the liver. In February 2019, the CT scan demonstrated progression of disease (PD) (according to RECIST criteria v 1.1) due to the development of multiple small lesions localized at the hepatic dome and around the area of previous PTA, long with a large bone metastasis to the 12th vertebral body and a left upper lobe pulmonary nodule . Based on the availability of additional formalin fixed tumor tissue obtained from a novel tumor biopsy, three different NGS platform studies were requested by the patient: Oncomine Comprehensive Assay (implemented at Istituto Tumori Milano, Milan, Italy) , Oncofocus test [Oncologica® UK ltd (Cambridge, UK)] and Foundation One CDx [Foundation Medicine (Cambridge, MA)] . Both the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay and the Oncofocus test did not detect any alterations of analyzed genes. In contrast the Foundation One CDx demonstrated the presence of a deletion in BAP1 (splice site c.581-17_585del22) and amplification of RAD21. Analysis of BAP1 by sanger sequencing on primary ICC tumor tissue confirmed the presence of BAP1 (splice site 581-17_585del22) alteration . In contrast no alterations were identified in BAP1 from nucleic acids extracted from buffy coat . Because of the involvement of RAD21 in the DNA repair pathway, the interaction of BAP1 with BRCA1 and the enhanced sensitivity to PARP inhibitor administration in presence of alterations in the BRCA1-mediated DNA repair pathway, it was decided first to treat the patient with FOLFIRI every 2 weeks [irinotecan 180 mg/m2, folinic acid 400 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 400 mg/m2 intravenous infusion bolus, then 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 intravenous infusion over 46 h] and then to start a PARP inhibitor. FOLFIRI is a conventional second-line chemotherapy regimen for ICC. In addition, irinotecan is a DNA-damaging agent. Following six cycles of FOLFIRI, in June 2019, a whole-body CT scan demonstrated PD . A third-line therapy of off-label use with the PARP inhibitor olaparib at 800 mg/die and palliative radiotherapy (10 Gy) on the vertebral lesion was begun. In September 2019, a whole-body CT scan demonstrated a partial response (PR) . The latter was confirmed on successive restaging scans in November 2019 and February 2020 . Following 11 cycles of olaparib, the progression free survival has been 11.0 months. Currently, the patient has an overall survival of 37.2 months from the time of diagnosis of his ICC and has continued treatment with olaparib.

It was not the first time for him to our hospital for medical help. During the past 9 years, he had received 5-ASA including sulfasalazine and mesalazine and irregular oral steroid therapy. However, administration of 5-ASA led to red itchy rash on his face and torso, although the rash disappeared after 5-ASA was stopped. But it appeared again if 5-ASA was re-used, suggesting that he was allergic to 5-ASA. Owing to reluctant use of immunosuppressive agents and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, he routinely received intravenous steroid therapy every 2 to 3months because of worsening condition. On March 25th, he was hospitalized again because of suffering from gradually aggravated abdominal pain and frequent bloody diarrhea with an average of 8 times daily. Colonoscopy showed that a continuous distribution of superficial erosion and ulceration . As previous, we gave him intravenous steroid therapy (methyl-prednisolone, 60 mg daily). Unlike before, his symptoms did not improve after 3-day use of steroid. The following treatment was limited.

The filtered liquid was separated into several 50-mL tubes for centrifugation (2000 rpm/min, 3 minutes), and then we removed the supernatant, added sterile saline, and mixed for centrifugation again. This process was repeated 3 times. Finally, the sediment was obtained and diluted with 200-mL sterile saline. The whole processing time was about 1 hour. Thus, fresh fecal microbes’ suspension was prepared and immediately transplanted into the terminal ileum and the right colon by colonoscopy. The endoscopic image during fecal microbes’ infusion is shown in Figure B. +After FMT, food intake was limited to 500 g semi-liquid in the first 24 hours and then normal diet was followed. One week after FMT, the patient was assessed by gastrointestinal symptoms. We found that the frequency and severity of abdominal pain significantly reduced. The stool frequency decreased to 2 to 3 times daily and the bloody stool was also significantly improved. At one month after FMT; reviewed colonoscopy revealed significant improvement in colonic mucosal lesions . During the colonoscopy, the patient received the second FMT as planned using the same donor . Three months after the second FMT, the patient had no diarrhea and any blood in stool. He underwent colonoscopy again and the damaged colon mucosa had reached full healing . During the 9-month follow-up, his condition did not recur without any treatment. No adverse event was observed during the FMT and follow-up. +To evaluate the disease activity and efficacy of FMT, Mayo scores were calculated before and after FMT. The score that ranges from 0 to 12 point was based on the total of stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and a physician's global assessment. The total Mayo score and sub-item score were listed in Table . As shown, clinical and endoscopic remission was induced and maintained by FMT.

A brain computerized tomography (CT)-scan and complementary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a solitary metastatic lesion (Met 1) in the right central sulcus (11.95 cc) with extensive perilesional edema [ and ]. The investigative tumor screening, including a CT- scan of the thorax and abdomen, revealed a suspect primary tumor in the left kidney as well as multiple, disseminated metastatic lesions in the lungs, liver, peri-aortic abdominal nodes, and left adrenal gland. A thrombotic mass positioned within the boundaries of the left renal vein was also reported. The subsequent biopsy revealed a clear cell renal cancer, Fuhrman Grade 2, as the primary. Due to the underlying extension of metastatic activity, nephrectomy was not indicated. Because of his relatively young age and previous healthy condition, the patient was accepted for upfront RRR- treatment of Met 1, structured on three separate fractions (GKRS 1–3) over a 7-day period [ and ]. This strategy aimed to sustain the patient’s performance status by avoiding further neurological deterioration while providing a window to start first-line targeted therapy (sunitinib). The rationale behind RRR can be found elsewhere in the literature.[-,] +Follow-up MRI at 1, 3, and 6 months confirmed subsequent tumor volume reduction of Met 1 with ensuing significant improvement of the patient’s motor function .

A parasagittal micrometastasis in the posterior boundaries of the left temporal lobe was also reported (Met 3). Despite further thoracic disease progression on anti-PD1 treatment (nivolumab), the patient’s clinical condition remained stable (Karnofsky Performance Scale [KPS] 90, recursive partitioning analysis [RPA] Class II); it was, therefore, decided to treat Met 2 with RRR and Met 3 with SF-GKRS [ and ] before switching systemic treatment to axitinib. +Met 2 decreased in volume by 15% between GKRS 1 and GKRS 3.

However, edema increment around Met 2 was also reported, suggesting an additional focal (yet asymptomatic) ARE. Due to further radiological evidence of extracranial disease progression (CT-scan thorax and abdomen, October 2017), low- tolerance to axitinib and the patient’s own choice, further systemic therapy was altogether disrupted 14 months post- RRR of Met 1.

The patient was discharged, and CT recorded 1 year after discharge revealed shrinkage of the pseudocyst with slightly dilated distal pancreas duct . He developed acute pancreatitis 1 year previously. Subsequently, acute pancreatitis recurred three times. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed no stenosis or dilatation of the pancreatic duct at that time , and repeated pancreatic juice cytology showed no evidence of malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was performed; however, no mass lesion was found in the distal pancreatic parenchyma. Acute pancreatitis recurred again this year, and CT revealed fluid retention around the tail of the pancreas and the splenic hilum, and a pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery . Therefore, abdominal angiography and transcatheter arterial embolization was performed . +The possibility of pancreatic cancer could not be completely ruled out for causing repeated episodes of distally localized pancreatitis, and to treat secondary splenic artery aneurysm; therefore, surgical resection was planned after full-informed consent . +The tumor markers 2 months prior to surgery were within the normal range as follow; carcinoembryonic antigen 4.5 ng/mL, carbohydrate antigen 19–97 U/mL, and Duke pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 25 U/mL. Laparoscopy-assisted distal pancreatectomy was performed, with an operation time of 293 min, and a blood loss of 200 mL . The pancreas was resected on the left side of the portal vein. Preoperative examination revealed no findings suspicious of malignancy and considering the severe inflammatory changes due to repeated pancreatitis, D1 lymph node dissection was performed without rapid intraoperative pathology of pancreatic stump. A single tufted cyst 25 mm in size was found in the tail of the pancreas and a coil embolus was found in the dilated splenic artery; a part of the blood vessel wall was ruptured, and the coil embolus was exposed in the cyst . Pathological examination revealed a non-invasive cancer component in the specimen, i.e., carcinoma in situ . No lymph node metastasis was detected, and PanIN with carcinoma in situ was finally diagnosed. +The patient recovered satisfactorily and was discharged on postoperative day 10. The pancreatitis did not recur after surgery and there was no recurrence of pancreatic cancer; the patient still has regular follow-ups at our hospital. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2317_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2317_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f3ea8790a541c40565df4227e38e158e0b562b1f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2317_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 52-year-old male, with a history of heart transplantation, presented to the emergency department (ED) with the abrupt onset of upper and lower lip edema, without concurrent respiratory symptoms.

Two years earlier, she had been diagnosed with a mild degree of lumbar spinal stenosis at L3–4 and L4–5 levels by an orthopedic specialist. Even though she still experienced intermittent radiating pain from the left hip down to her left leg, she was still able to do mountain climbing and carry out her usual activities of living. One month prior to her admission to the neurology department, she started to notice progressive forward and leftward flexion of the back and new-onset lower back pain. She went back to the orthopedic specialist for medical advice. Non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine revealed alterations of muscle signal intensity in the right paraspinal muscles at the L1–2 level on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) , but no significant interval change of the known spinal canal stenosis. A facet joint injection of triamcinolone at right L4–5 level didn’t relieve her pain and it didn’t halt the progression of the spinal deformity. She was referred to the movement disorder clinic. +Upon examination, the patient did not have weakness, dysarthria or decreased sensation despite her history of infarction twenty years earlier in the territory of right middle cerebral artery (MCA) involving the right pre-rolandic area, corona radiata, and postcentral gyrus . Muscle tone and deep tendon reflexes of the left extremities were unremarkable. Her sensation to proprioception was intact in all four extremities. She had action tremors of both hands, moderate bradykinesia and rigidity on her left side, and postural instability during turning. Her gait was not wide-based and she had no difficulty performing finger-to-nose and heel-to-shin. With definite evidence of parkinsonism, we gave her a trial of levodopa/carbidopa. Initially, levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) of 150 mg per day was prescribed. Over a week, it was gradually increased to 600 mg per day. Even though the medication improved her gait by increasing step length without causing serious side effects, the forward flexion of the spine only became more apparent . Serum creatine kinase (CK) was not checked at the time. +She continued to experience severe back pain in the following months, besides which she developed erythematous pitting edema of and multiple bullae on both legs. She was subsequently admitted to the rheumatology. Her thyroid function was normal. CK was within normal limits. A repeat MRI scan of the spine, compared to the initial scan taken three months ago, showed diffuse enlargement and patchy enhancement of the paraspinal muscles on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) from T4 through sacrum bilaterally . Electromyography (EMG) demonstrated a mild to moderate amount of ongoing denervation potentials in the thoracic and lumbosacral paraspinal muscles but no evidence of myopathic motor unit action potentials in either the paraspinal muscles or the lower extremity muscles – the left tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, and gastrocnemius. Atorvastatin, which she had been taking since five years ago, was discontinued as the possibility of drug-induced myopathy could not be ruled out. At discharge, she was on opioids for unremitting lower back pain. +A year later she was re-admitted to the neurology department for evaluation of focal atrophy of the back muscles on the right. The pain had subsided considerably for a year now. MRI of the lumbar spine again confirmed the presence of non-specific myopathic changes of thoracolumbar paraspinal muscles. Patchy contrast enhancement along myotendinous or myofascial junction on T1WI and diffuse enlargement of thoracolumbar paraspinal muscles were still seen. But the extent of contrast enhancement and that of muscle enlargement were less compared to the MRI taken one year ago. She finally underwent an ultrasound-guided gun biopsy of the paraspinal muscles. +The biopsy specimen contained myofibers with moderate size variation. Degenerated, atrophic and regenerating fibers were abundant and mostly round in shape. Atrophic myofibers were not angular in shape. The increase in the number of internalized nuclei was seen in many myofibers. There was marked endomysial and perimysial fibrosis of the biopsied muscles but merely mild infiltration of inflammatory cells in endomysial and perivascular space . Overall, myopathic changes were evident, but the pathologist was unable to find clues with respect to the cause of fibrosis. +Two years after the onset of camptocormia, as her clinical course was not consistent with idiopathic PD with camptocormia being the presenting symptom, fluorine-18 labeled N-3-fluoropropyl-2β-carboxymethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)-nortropane (FP-CIT) positron emission tomography (PET) was done to confirm degenerative parkinsonism in this patient. The PET imaging revealed severely decreased radiotracer uptake in both putamina, even after taking into account the old infarct in the right MCA territory . The bilateral caudate nuclei were not spared. +Since she continued to experience back pain, follow-up spine MRI was done a year after the biopsy. Findings suggestive of active inflammation – contrast enhancement on T1WI and hyperintensity of the paraspinal muscles on T2WI – were still present albeit to a lesser extent. Newly identified hypointense signals on T1WI and T2WI were indicative of fibrotic changes. On account of persistent pain and MRI results indicative of the presence of ongoing inflammation, she was prescribed glucocorticoid, which she refused to take. Now merely two and a half years after the onset of camptocormia, she is in Hoehn and Yahr stage 4. The patient is still on levodopa currently at the LEDD of 420 mg per day. She hasn’t developed supranuclear gaze palsy, freezing of gait, blepharospasm, or gait ataxia. She has urinary dysfunction – urinary frequency starting a year before the onset of camptocormic symptom along with documented evidence of urinary retention (post-voiding residual volume > 200 ml). However, aside from urinary dysfunction, she has not developed other symptoms or signs of autonomic dysfunction (e.g., orthostatic hypotension and constipation). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2343_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2343_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fe8f6b1fe0228255ad360be003cd33c8354d2699 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2343_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +An 8-year-old girl presented in August 2015 to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children’s Accident and Emergency department with headache for 2 months.

A differential diagnosis of unilateral chorioretinitis included infectious chorioretinitis such as toxoplasma, toxocara, tuberculosis, syphilis, borriella burgdorferi (B.burgdorferi) and post-streptococcal syndrome and inflammatory chorioretinitis such as sarcoidosis, multifocal choroiditis and other white dot syndromes. An infiltrative cause was also considered. +Extensive investigations, as presented in Table , failed to identify a specific cause for her unilateral chorioretinitis. +Over the following 4 months, without treatment, her vision increased in the left eye to 6/12 unaided and the fundal appearance improved showing reduced sub-retinal infiltration; however, a focal circular area of chorioretinitis developed along the superotemporal arcade . One month later, the circular area of chorioretinitis had faded but a new active area of chorioretinitis was noted superior to the disc. Within this area, an elongated, white, glistening nematode was identified with an estimated size of 1500 μm when compared with the optic disc diameter . Ocular coherence tomography horizontally through this new area of active chorioretinitis indicated a nematode with tapered end curling upwards from subretinal space into deep retinal layers . This led to a working diagnosis of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN). +Following diagnosis of DUSN, diode laser was performed under general anaesthetic to the superior area of active chorioretinitis and presumed nematode. The patient was also commenced on oral albendazole 200 mg twice daily for 1 month and a reducing course of oral prednisolone starting at 25 mg daily and tapered over 30 days. After another month, her visual acuity had improved further to 6/9 and the treated area of chorioretinitis superior to the optic disc had disappeared. However, new areas of chorioretinitis had appeared temporal to the superotemporal arcade and in the inferonasal fundus . A further course of oral albendazole 200 mg twice daily and oral prednisolone 7.5 mg was commenced and planned for 30 days but was discontinued by the patient after 2 weeks.

Further laser was administered to the new superior lesion where a nematode was suspected. Despite additional anti-helminthic treatment with ivermectin, recurrence of active chorioretinitis lesions continued and electrophysiology testing indicated significant left retinal dysfunction. +A specialist uveitis opinion was sought from a tertiary centre in London that concurred with the diagnosis of DUSN; but it was thought that a secondary immune-mediated inflammatory response might be contributing to the clinical picture.

Regretfully, despite visiting several hospitals, her eyesight in her left eye remained unchanged. In the 6th month, she was diagnosed with ischemic optic neuropathy. Although she was given a compound anisodine hydrobromide injection (2 ml i.h., qd), her vision in the right eye similarly declined within a month (left eye: NLP, corrected vision of right eye: 20/500). In the 7th month, she went to the department of neurology at other hospitals, where positive aquaporin 4-IgG (AQP4-IgG) was found in the serum (titre: 1:320, cell-based assay, CBA) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, titre: 1:10, CBA); NMOSD was thereby diagnosed.

The bilateral pupils had a diameter of 4mm, with the left pupil fixed and the right pupillary light reflex sensitive. Vision in her left eye: NLP, corrected vision in the right eye: 20/200. There was diminished pinprick sensitivity below C5 on both sides. She had no other neurological abnormalities. Expanded disability status scale, EDSS = 4.5 (ambulation 1, visual functions 6, pyramidal functions 0, sensory functions 2). Average thickness of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL): 29μm (left eye), 37μm (right eye). MRI scan of the brain and spinal cord, after admission, revealed multifocal T2-hyperintensity in the cerebral white matter, brainstem and cervical cord without enhancement. Orbital MRI revealed that bilateral optic nerve sheath were enhanced, and suspicious enhancement was observed in the intracranial segments of both optic nerves ( a-f).

Efgartigimod was accessible in some countries at that moment and licensed for generalized myasthenia gravis. As a result, we chose to prioritize Efgartigimod as an add-on therapy according to the drug instructions (10 mg/kg IV, weekly × 4) after she signed the informed consent form. After 3 days of the first dose of Efgartigimod treatment (Day 4), the IgG level in her serum decreased by around 34.5 % (IgG before Efgartigimod treatment (Day 0):12.60g/L; Day 4: 8.26g/L; Day 30: 5.81g/L, ). On Day 8, her corrected vision of the right eye improved to 20/50 (EDSS = 3, ambulation 1, visual functions 5, pyramidal functions 0, sensory functions 0) and her numbness entirely disappeared, then she received her second dose of Efgartigimod (10 mg/kg IV). The serum AQP4-IgG titer decreased to 1:100 (serum, CBA) on Day 30 . Cytokine levels in her peripheral blood also changed (Before Efgartigimod therapy: interleukin-6, IL-6 4.53pg/ml; interleukin-8, IL-8 6.92pg/ml; interleukin-17, IL-17 5.52pg/ml; interferon-γ, IFN-γ 5.52pg/ml; interleukin-10, IL-10 11.71pg/ml.

Skin biopsies demonstrated spongiotic dermatitis (eczema). Echocardiography revealed right ventricular dilatation with mild tricuspid regurgitation. Left ventricular size and function was normal. +She was discharged and attended as an outpatient to a specialist centre for pulmonary hypertension, as it was assumed at the time that the right ventricular dilatation was a consequence of undiagnosed pulmonary hypertension. Here, right heart catheterization indicated normal pulmonary arterial pressure. Subsequently, no cardiology follow-up was arranged. The patient was treated with methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and intermittent prednisone over the next 4 years, although a single unifying diagnosis to explain her all of her symptoms was not identified. +In 2018, the patient attended a rheumatology clinic. The rheumatologist was concerned that there were clinical signs of pulmonary hypertension detected on physical examination, and thus a routine echocardiogram was performed. This study demonstrated severe right ventricular dilatation . There was now severe tricuspid valve regurgitation . The left ventricular size was normal, as was systolic and diastolic left ventricular function. There was no significant left-sided valvular disease. The patient was experiencing dyspnoea on walking 50 m on a flat surface, or at the top of a single flight of stairs. Additionally, she described four episodes of unheralded syncope, all occurring whilst seated. On physical examination, the blood pressure was 130/70 mmHg, the heart rate 88 b.p.m., and regular, with oxygen saturation of 99% on room air. The jugular venous pressure was elevated with prominent V waves. There was a right ventricular heave and a loud pan-systolic murmur audible at the left sternal edge. Pulsatile hepatomegaly was present. Fine crackles were present in both lung bases. Electrocardiogram demonstrated atrial fibrillation with a right bundle branch block . +Due to the concerning features on echocardiography and the symptoms of dyspnoea and syncope, the patient was admitted to a monitored cardiac ward for further investigation. Telemetry demonstrated non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) at a rate of 150 b.p.m. , of which the patient was symptomatic with palpitations but there was no haemodynamic compromise. +Right heart catheterization revealed normal pulmonary arterial pressures (22/10 mmHg), but elevated right atrial pressures (16/14 mmHg). Cardiac output (5.4 L/min) and pulmonary vascular resistance (88 dynes.s/cm5) were normal. +The patient underwent transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) and successful electrical cardioversion, restoring sinus rhythm. The TOE excluded atrial thrombus, any intracardiac left-to-right shunt, and all four pulmonary veins communicated with the left atrium. +Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) did not show any late gadolinium enhancement in either ventricle, and congenital anatomical anomalies were excluded. Cardiac positron emission tomography ( PET) did not reveal increased metabolic activity to indicate inflammation or features of active cardiac sarcoidosis. A CT chest demonstrated unchanged features of pulmonary fibrosis. +Myocardial biopsy was performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Histopathology revealed a predominantly lymphocytic chronic inflammatory infiltrate . A single well-formed small granuloma as well as a second focus of scattered giant cells was noted. Moderate to severe myopathic features were seen, including myocyte necrosis with features of myocytolysis and anisonucleosis, and patchy regenerative interstitial fibrosis. The diagnosis was consistent with lymphocytic myocarditis. The morphological pattern that comprised myocyte necrosis and a widespread lymphocytic infiltrate without predominating giant cells and granulomas was less likely to be consistent with cardiac sarcoidosis or giant cell myocarditis. There was a paucity of eosinophils, making the diagnosis of hypersensitivity myocarditis highly unlikely. The classic features of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) were also not seen, i.e. patchy to diffuse irregular replacement of myocytes by adipose tissue, with associated variable amounts of fibrosis, lack of significant lymphocytic infiltrate, and scattered enlarged degenerate vacuolated myocytes. A broad range of serological investigations had also been conducted, with no significant positive results. +Given the documented symptomatic VT, and the history of syncope, the patient was referred for a cardiac electrophysiology study, which demonstrated inducible VT originating from the RV apex that lasted for over 30 s.

Since discharge, her prednisone has been ceased after being systematically weaned following commencement of azathioprine 100 mg daily. She has been stable thereafter, with no further arrhythmias and has returned to work. Occasional episodes of decompensated mild right heart failure have been treated successfully with oral diuretics, without the need for intravenous therapy or inpatient admission. An echocardiogram performed 12 months after discharge revealed a marginal improvement in right ventricular function, with residual severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Abdominal CT and magnetic resonance imaging detected new multiple hepatic metastases of melanoma. A transcatheter arterial infusion of cisplatin was administered, and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was performed. In October 2012, she began treatment with vemurafenib, based on the finding of a positive BRAF V600E mutation in the resected primary site of the skin, which was analyzed by direct sequencing analysis using DNA from the paraffin-embedded primary cutaneous melanoma. She tolerated the treatment remarkably well, and the size of the multiple hepatic and lung metastases decreased, while the size of the brain metastases did not.

We concluded that the cause of death was hemorrhagic shock from ruptured hepatic metastases of malignant melanoma. Finally, for improved understanding of the mechanism of refractory metastasis, we conducted an immunohistochemical analysis of the signal transduction molecules, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), as well as the melanocyte marker Melan-A and Ki-67 in tumor cells of the primary malignant melanoma obtained from the right lower leg and in hepatic and lymph node metastases obtained on autopsy .

This regimen was discontinued 18 hours prior to the DBS procedure, according to our standard protocol, to avoid medication-induced dyskinesias during surgery and to allow for the patient to be in an off-state, thus maximizing the clinical information gained by intra-operative stimulation . The procedure itself was uneventful, with implantation of the DBS electrodes in the STN bilaterally (Medtronic 3389 electrodes; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Three hours post-operatively the patient developed tremor, muscle rigidity, and high fever resistant to common anti-pyretic drugs (paracetamol 1 g). The tremor and rigidity were attributed to PD and 200 mg levodopa three times daily was administered through a nasogastric tube. Systemic and central nervous system infection were also considered in the differential diagnosis; however, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, a chest X-ray, and blood and urine cultures were all within normal limits. A subsequent brain magnetic resonance imaging scan depicted no intracranial pathology and confirmed optimal lead placement.

His serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) were markedly elevated to 1500 U/l with a normal CK-MB fraction, and his cardiac troponin levels were normal, indicating that the CK elevation was not of cardiac origin. At that point, the diagnosis of NMS was established on the basis of the clinical examination and the laboratory findings. Malignant hyperthermia was excluded after a negative caffeine-halothane contracture test . The patient was intubated and transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). Treatment by intravenous administration of 3 mg/kg/day dantrolene, 600 mg/day levodopa, and 60 mg apomorphine was initiated. After copious ICU treatment, the patient was extubated on the ninth post-operative day. Fifteen days post-operatively he still appeared lethargic and confused. The DBS device was consequently activated on the 20th post-operative day, as it was considered that it could accelerate the patient's recovery.

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 38%) due to akinesia of cardiac apex . The patient was immediately referred to the cath lab with an initial diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction and treated with unfractionated heparin 5000 IU i.v. and dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 250 mg i.v. and ticagrelor 180 mg per os) according to current guidelines. Unexpectedly, coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries while left ventriculography confirmed the echo finding of extensive systolic dysfunction of the apical segments with hyperkinesia of the basal segments resembling ‘takotsubo’ morphology . Considering the preceding trigger event and the apical akinesia despite normal coronary arteries, the suspicion of typical TTS arose. This hypothesis was reinforced by an InterTAK diagnostic score value of >70. The patient remained under close clinical observation in the intensive care unit for 2 days receiving the following therapy: low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) 6000 IU s.c. twice daily, aspirin 100 mg/day, metoprolol 50 mg twice daily, ramipril 2.5 mg/day. Due to signs of heart failure, furosemide 20 mg i.v. twice daily was added. On the 4th day of hospitalization, the patient was transferred to the cardiology unit. Therapy remained unchanged, except for LMWH which was withdrawn. Two days later, the patient developed dysarthria and right hemiparesis. Head computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a small hypodense area at the cortico-subcortical site of the left parietal lobe. The day after, due to sudden disappearance of spontaneous speech, a new head CT was performed, revealing an additional ischaemic hypodense area localized at the cortex of the precentral gyrus, whilst no hyperdense area suggestive of ongoing intracranial haemorrhage was detected. TTE showed persisting apical akinesia and detected a small apical thrombus (1.2 mm × 3.2 mm) attached to the apical segment of the left ventricular (LV) lateral wall . Therefore, anticoagulation therapy with acenocoumarol per os was started, with dose adjustment according to periodic laboratory testing of international normalized ratio. At 72 h from the onset of neurological symptoms, head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis of ischaemic stroke showing diffuse cardioembolic lesions mainly involving the left parietal and frontal lobes .

First, the full-thickness rectal wall was incised circumferentially at 2 cm from the pectinate line. The pouch of Douglas was opened and about 20 cm of bowel was prepared before the peritoneal fossa was reconstructed. Once the bowel was resected a coloanal anastomosis was constructed with a 29 circular stapler. The operation proceeded with dynamic graciloplasty. Through two longitudinal incisions on the medial face of the right thigh, the gracile muscle was mobilized down to its insertion on the tibial tuberosity. Once the muscle was prepared for tunneling, electrical stimuli were delivered to identify the neurovascular peduncle. This step is crucial to identify the site for definitive intramuscular electrode implantation that guarantees an effective gracilis muscle contraction. +Second, the gracile muscle was tunnelled and wrapped around the sigmoid colon anastomosed to the residual rectum after preparing the peri-anastomotic space using two longitudinal perianal incisions. This fixed the muscle tendon on the perineal skin. +Finally, a subcutaneous pouch was created in the right iliac fossa to house the neurostimulator. The leads connecting the neurostimulator to the gracile muscle were then tunnelled subcutaneously. This entailed constructing a temporary transverse colostomy to minimize the risk of infections involving the perianal accesses that can damage the neosphincter or cause its disinsertion. +The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, and on day 7 began regular leg gymnastics with a soft balloon placed between her knees. Neurostimulation delivered at low frequency began on day 20 and continued for about 2 months before the frequency was increased.

To avoid the risks associated with cardiopulmonary bypass and given the good visualization of the perforating atria lead, an off-pump technique was considered using a “lead-inverting stitch”. To achieve hemostatic control over the region of the atrial wall where the lead exited, a purse-string stitch was placed circumferentially around the lead tip using 3–0 prolene with multiple pledgets . The externalized tip of the perforating atrial lead was then mobilized by cutting a rim of surrounding atrial tissue. This allowed the end of the lead to be dunked within the right atrial chamber while the purse-string suture was tightened for hemostasis . With this “lead inverting stitch”, the lead was free within the right atrium and could now be safely extracted using transvenous laser extraction techniques. +With the heart partially verticalized, the lateral wall of the left ventricle was exposed and an epicardial lead (Medtronic 4968) was placed. It was then tunnelled through the subcutaneous tissue above the rectus sheath, secured and connected to the new pacemaker. The new pacemaker was then placed in a newly created pocket, below the left costal margin. The sternotomy wound was covered with sterile surgical towels. +The infected pacemaker pocket was then opened and direct visualization confirmed the presence of a small amount of murky fluid. This fluid was sent for culture. The pocket was then extensively debrided and the four transvenous pacemaker leads were prepared for complex extraction in a standard manner beginning with retraction of the distal screw to facilitate separation of the active fixation lead tip from the myocardium interface during laser extraction. A purse string suture was subsequently positioned along the pectoral muscle around each lead at its insertion site to avoid any significant bleeding when the leads are completely removed. The lumen of each lead was then probed for patency with a standard stylet to ensure that a lead-locking-stylet can be utilized and advanced deep into the lead lumen for adequate gripping during the extraction process. Appropriate sizing of each lumen and distal delivery of the locking stylets was subsequently performed. A long silk suture thread was then tied to the outside of the lead near its insertion site, extended along the length of the lead, and tied to its end to provide further support along with the lead-locking-stylet when applying traction on the lead during laser extraction. Now that the leads have been prepared, transvenous lead extraction with a #14 French laser sheath was attempted. Due to the presence of multiple biding sites, up-sizing to a #16 laser sheath was required along with the use of a less compliant outer sheath (Visi-sheath). All the leads were removed entirely, with the perforating atrial lead removed last. There was no hemodynamic compromise throughout the procedure and no mechanical complications related to the procedure. The “lead inverting stitch” retained its integrity and hemostasis was preserved throughout the transvenous lead extraction. +Following successful lead extraction, the median sternotomy and old pacemaker pocket incisions were closed in a standard fashion and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for post-operative monitoring. The total procedure time from incision to wound closure was 5 hours and 24 minutes. Post-operative course was complicated with hypoxia secondary to atelectasis and aspiration pneumonia that resolved after 5 days. The patient was discharged back to her home hospital for ongoing rehabilitation. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2467_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2467_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..35abbe9d83846ed0e464961fc36376632b8668f0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2467_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ +The patient was a 70-year-old Japanese man (172.0 cm tall, weighing 68.0 kg, body +mass index 23.0 kg/m2) who had smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 47 years +until 5 years ago.

A repeat biopsy of her lesion through an open approach revealed myofibroblastic sarcoma. Consideration was given for reduction of tumor burden and lumbopelvic reconstruction to facilitate long-term progression-free survival and to improve quality of life, respectively. +The extension of tumor into both sacroiliac joints prohibited sparing S1; thus, a two-staged total sacrectomy was planned, as previously described. Briefly, the first stage of the procedure included a midline laparotomy, mobilization of the visceral and neural structures, and ligation of the internal iliac vessels. A colostomy was performed, and a right vertical rectus abdominus myocutaneous flap based on the inferior epigastric vessels was mobilized, wrapped in a bowel bag, and placed in the pelvis. The second stage was performed the next day, and it included L5 and S1 laminectomies, bilateral osteotomies and disarticulation of the sacrum from the ilium at the sacroiliac joints, ligation of the thecal sac inferior to the takeoff of the L5 nerve roots, complete L5–S1 discectomy, and transection of the S1–S5 nerve roots. The entire sacrum, along with the tumor, was removed piecemeal. This was followed by lumbopelvic reconstruction with spinal instrumentation and bone graft. +The patient underwent a long inpatient postoperative course. She responded well to intensive physical rehabilitation. Her postoperative course was complicated by the development of a small superficial soft tissue Staphylococcus epidermidis abscess in the operative bed treated with percutaneous drainage and a full course of intravenous and oral antibiotics. The patient also developed a small ischial decubitus ulcer, remote from the surgical incision, treated with local wound care. At 3 months after surgery, the patient was able to ambulate with the assistance of a walker. She had normal strength in her left leg, except for plantarflexion (S1). Her right leg was more impaired, with normal proximal strength but significant weakness in hip extension (L4 and L5), dorsiflexion (L4), extensor hallucis longus (L5), and plantarflexion (S1), suggesting sciatic nerve injury. She was discharged home and was pain-free off narcotics. +At 5 years after surgery, the patient remains pain-free. She was able to ambulate independently with a right ankle-foot orthosis. There was no evidence of locally progressive or metastatic disease on follow-up imaging. Postoperative imaging showed settling and a stable fibrous pseudoarthrosis . +The patient’s first pregnancy was unbeknownst to us during a period of follow-up loss after sacrectomy. However, she gave birth to a healthy 5-lb, 2-oz baby girl through a cesarean delivery at 37 weeks’ gestation by a community obstetrician. There were no birth complications. The baby, now 3½ years old, is meeting developmental milestones. +The Baylor Maternal-Fetal Medicine Service at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women followed her second pregnancy closely. Frequent visits every 2 to 3 weeks were scheduled to monitor maternal status (e.g., weight gain and blood pressure). The pregnancy was carefully documented with monthly fetal ultrasound and MRI . At each outpatient visit, catheterization was performed to send urine culture, and the patient was on Keflex suppression throughout the pregnancy. Routine prenatal labs were obtained, and routine vaccines were administered. A repeat elective cesarean was performed at 37 weeks of gestation. Great care was taken to identify the right inferior epigastric vessels, the pedicle of the rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap used for closure of the sacral defect . Plastic surgery was available at the time of delivery, but the right rectus abdominis muscle flap was not seen and was assumed to be posterior to the uterus. A healthy baby girl was delivered .

She had a history of pyelonephritis, had received treatment for a multinodular goiter that had caused hypothyroidism, and also had congenital deafness. Her parents were consanguineous, and her father died from a surgically-induced pulmonary embolism. Her brother suffered from the same combined afibrinogenemia and AT deficiency. Her sister died from pulmonary embolism during her first pregnancy, at the age of 22, and had also suffered from AT deficiency yet with normal fibrinogen levels. +Afibrinogenemia was diagnosed when the patient was 3 months old, following a trauma-induced intracranial hemorrhage. DNA sequencing, performed several years after the diagnosis, highlighted a homozygous (c.510 + 1G > T) substitution in the splicing site of the 4th intron of the fibrinogen alpha-chain. Routine coagulation test results revealed dramatically-prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) (>240 s) and a prothrombin time (PT) >120 s, with undetectable levels of either fibrinogen activity or antigen <0.1 g/L, and normal platelet count of 240.10 /L. Thrombin time and reptilase time were also significantly prolonged (>120 s; normal values below 20 s). +The patient had a history of several severe thromboses and bleeding episodes. Her bleeding history started with intracranial bleeding induced by severe head trauma suffered at 3 months old, which was followed by several trauma-induced hematomas, spontaneous meningeal hemorrhage at 11 years old, intra-alveolar pulmonary hemorrhage at 23, menorrhagia, two episodes of hemoperitoneum induced by ruptured ovarian cysts, six first-trimester miscarriages due to severe hemorrhagic complications, and acute unprovoked cerebellar hemorrhage at 30 years old. Most of the bleeding episodes that occurred during her childhood and youth were treated with cryoprecipitate and fresh frozen plasma. She was shown to be hepatitis C antibody- and RNA-positive, with normal liver enzyme levels. The patient was taking several supplements for iron deficiency anemia due to heavy menstrual blood loss, and refused prophylaxis with fibrinogen concentrates, as they require regular intravenous infusions. Moreover, she was working in the traveling family circus with a lifestyle of “perpetual traveler”, rendering clinical follow-up very difficult. +At the age of 30, she exhibited a spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage and received her first replacement therapy with fibrinogen concentrates, after which she developed a proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated by pulmonary embolism (PE) four days after the introduction of fibrinogen concentrate, while her plasma fibrinogen level was 1.2 g/L. The fibrinogen infusions were immediately stopped, and unfractionated heparin (UFH) was initiated. When her fibrinogen level dropped to <0.5 g/L, 24 h following withdrawal of the fibrinogen concentrate, fibrinogen replacement therapy was reinitiated, with a target plasma fibrinogen of 0.5–0.8 g/L, and UFH was concomitantly administered for a total duration of 6 weeks. No bleeding complications occurred, and her cerebellar bleeding was not aggravated during UFH therapy. The patient fully recovered from this episode. +Two years later, at 32 years, she presented an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with an ulcerated atheromatous plaque in the left anterior descending coronary artery. However, due to there being only a limited perfusion defect and no occlusion on coronary angiography, reperfusion therapy was not initiated given her high risk of bleeding. She had no cardiovascular risk factors, except for slightly-elevated cholesterol levels. A combined treatment of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and fibrinogen was prescribed. On replacement therapy, the patient exhibited bilateral calf DVT, which was treated with LMWH until complete resolution of the venous clots, achieved in 10 days. Following hospital discharge, the patient pursued a treatment at home consisting of 40 mg atorvastatin per day, with a target LDL cholesterol level < 1 g/L. No aspirin was prescribed for this patient due to her high bleeding risk. As several thromboses were reported in the patient’s family, and given the known AT deficiency of her sister, thrombophilia testing was then performed, revealing heterozygous antithrombin (AT) deficiency at 65% by means of chromogenic assay (Biophen AT anti-(h)-Xa LRT, Hyphen BioMed, Neuville sur Oise, France). The reference AT in adults ranges between 80 and 120%. Genetic sequencing revealed a point mutation L131F in the 2nd exon of the AT gene. As a result, this proved to be a very rare case of combined afibrinogenemia and AT deficiency. Plasma AT was therefore measured in her brother, confirming similar combined inherited AT and fibrinogen deficiencies. +Thrombin generation was measured using Calibrated automated thrombin generation assay (Stago, les Asnières, France) in the presence of a low concentration of tissue factor 1pM, in accordance with the recent recommendations of the ISTH . Thrombin generation (TG) assay revealed the patent had a higher TG capacity compared to other afibrinogenemia patients . The area under the thrombin generation curve (ETP) representing the enzymatic activity of thrombin was very high (ETP = 2670 nM.min) in the patient, in accordance with her clinical history of thrombosis. AT deficiency was probably the main reason of the increased thrombin generation capacity in our patient. A slight TG decrease was observed following infusion of AT concentrate at 30 U/Kg . In light of these clinical and laboratory findings, we decided to normalize the patient’s AT level prior to any fibrinogen concentrate infusion, in an effort to reduce the risk of thrombosis related to replacement therapy. +At 49 years old, the patient consulted at the ER for severe acute chest pain. Her blood pressure on admission was 87/57 mmHg, her heart rate 87 bpm, and her physical examination unremarkable. Upon admission, laboratory tests revealed increased alanine aminotransferase activity (50 U/L [normal: 3–26 U/L]) and aspartate aminotransferase (121 U/L [normal: 6–18 U/L). Her troponin-T level was dramatically increased (24,693 ng/L [normal: <20 ng/L]). Her C-reactive protein was 62.6 mg/L (normal <5 mg/lL). Routine coagulation tests showed activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) >240 s and prothrombin time (PT) >120 s. The patient’s plasma fibrinogen level was undetectable for both activity and antigen assays. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal. Non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was suspected. Echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis and revealed an impaired ejection fraction of 45%, with akinesia in the anteroseptal, anteromedial, and apical segments. The CT coronary angiogram revealed 80% stenosis in the common trunk of the left coronary artery and 50% stenosis in the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery . The right coronary artery and circumflex coronary artery were normal. A diagnosis of NSTEMI was established, and double coronary artery bypass surgery was scheduled. +The surgery was performed, following replacement therapy with 30 U/Kg antithrombin concentrate (Aclotine®, LFB-Biomedicaments, Les Ulis, France) and 1.5 g fibrinogen (Clottafact®, LFB-Biomedicaments), along with UFH at the typical coronary bypass dosage. The surgery was successful, whilst carefully controlling the combined anticoagulant and procoagulant molecules. No excessive bleeding occurred. UFH was maintained for 3 weeks following surgery. Antithrombin and fibrinogen infusions were calculated following laboratory results with the aim of maintaining plasma AT >80% and fibrinogen between 0.5 and 1 g/L. All pro- and anti-coagulant treatments were discontinued 2 days before hospital discharge, on post-op Day 23. Two days after treatment withdrawal, the patient developed a segmental PE treated with LMWH in association with antithrombin and fibrinogen concentrates for 2 months, as described above. +In this patient who had suffered two acute coronary heart attacks, secondary prophylaxis with 75 mg aspirin/day was recommended, combined with antithrombin and fibrinogen infusions administered at least once a week, in order to keep plasma fibrinogen >0.5 g/L. However, the patient refused fibrinogen and AT prophylaxis, for his would require weekly injections. Therefore, antithrombotic prophylaxis with antiplatelet therapy (APT) was not initiated. +Five months later, the patient was admitted to the ER for spontaneous left upper limb monoplegia associated with left-sided facial paralysis, dysarthria, and left homonymous hemianopia. Cerebral computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple hypodense ischemic lesions in the right frontal and parietal lobes associated with a thrombus in the right internal carotid artery. Echocardiogram, Holter ECG, and supra-aortic branch evaluation using Doppler ultrasonography disclosed no additional lesions indicative of stroke. On admission, plasma fibrinogen was <0.1 g/L, and daily aspirin at 75 mg was initiated. No fibrinogen replacement therapy was prescribed, given her several previous VTE episodes following fibrinogen concentrate infusions. The follow-up CT, performed one week after starting aspirin, revealed an acute subdural hematoma (SDH) measuring 27 mm, probably induced by aspirin. As the patient was asymptomatic, aspirin was immediately discontinued, and she was administered antithrombin and fibrinogen concentrates twice a week for 4 months, resulting in significant regression of the SDH to 10 mm in its largest diameter. Eventually, she accepted long-term antithrombin and fibrinogen prophylaxis based on weekly infusions (30 U/Kg and 1.5 g, respectively), rendering anti-thrombotic prophylaxis with aspirin again possible, which was very carefully reintroduced at low doses of 75 mg, arbitrarily, administered every 3 days. Under prophylaxis, her fibrinogen trough levels were ≥0.3 g/L. The patient has not reported any breakthrough bleeds with the current prophylactic regimen. No recent thrombosis has occurred and follow-up cerebral CTs have shown that the SDH is remaining stable. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2545_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2545_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..396e5853da24393f52f7a1fca0e74831730364fc --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2545_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 21-year-old Caucasian patient assigned male at birth presented with 2 days of severe rectal, abdominal, testicular pain, and loose stools.

He took emtricitabine/tenofovir/disoproxil fumarate for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis. He recently received prophylactic chlamydia treatment and one dose of the mpox vaccine series approximately 1 month prior to presentation. He was a student. He had a non-monogamous relationship with a male partner and reported receptive and insertive anal intercourse with inconsistent condom use and intermittent use of sex toys, including anal beads. He had recently traveled to Hawaii, California, Michigan, and Maine in the summer. Two years prior to presentation he had traveled to Japan. He had multiple pet dogs and cats. He reported having a younger sibling with lymphomatoid papulosis. +In the emergency room, vital signs were normal. On examination, he had tender bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy, mild right lateral testicular tenderness when palpated, and tenderness in the right lower abdominal quadrant and suprapubic region. No hemorrhoids or anal fissures were visualized. Initial workup included complete blood count remarkable for low platelet count of 125,000 cells/µL (reference: 150,000–420,000 cells/µL) and increased atypical lymphocytes at 3% (reference: 0–1%); white blood cell count was normal at 6000 cells/µL (reference: 3800–10,800 cells/µL). Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen/pelvis showed mesorectal lymphadenopathy and rectal wall thickening with circumferential fat stranding consistent with acute proctitis, without abnormalities of the prostate, testicle, or epididymis. Basic metabolic panel, urinalysis, and throat/urine/rectal gonorrhea/chlamydia testing were normal. He received ketorolac for pain and was started on ceftriaxone/metronidazole/doxycycline prior to medical admission for further management of proctitis. +He was promptly switched from ceftriaxone to ciprofloxacin after a scrotal/testicular ultrasound (performed 12 hours after the CT abdomen) confirmed left epididymitis. He was transitioned from ceftriaxone to ciprofloxacin to cover for Pseudomonas, which is a common bacterial organism that can be associated with epididymitis. On hospitalization day 2, metronidazole and doxycycline were discontinued, and acyclovir was started for empiric herpes simplex virus (HSV) coverage. Additional infectious workup was notable for detection of CMV on initial quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of the blood, albeit with quantitation < 137 IU/mL (reference: < 137 IU/mL). CMV immunoglobulin M (IgM) was negative, as were the following studies: Monospot testing, hepatitis panel (including hepatitis C antibody), treponemal antibody, rectal mpox/HSV/varicella zoster virus (VZV) PCRs, repeat gonorrhea/chlamydia (urine/rectal/throat), respiratory viral panel, serum HIV PCR, serum enterovirus and adenovirus PCRs, tick-borne serology panel, and urine mycoplasma/ureaplasma PCR. He had stool studies performed including Helicobacter pylori stool antigen, Clostridium difficile enzyme immunoassay, stool ova and parasites, stool pathogen PCR panel (Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia enterocolitica, Shiga Toxin 1 and 2, Vibrio), and stool Giardia antigen that were negative. Calprotectin had initially been sent due to concern for possible inflammatory bowel disease and was noted to be elevated to 1110 µg/g (reference: < 50 µg/g). +Over a period of days, he also developed myalgias and arthralgias. Due to lack of improvement in rectal pain over a period of days, colorectal surgery and gastroenterology advised additional workup with colonoscopy. On hospital day 7, colonoscopy was remarkable for irregular ulcerations with exudate in the distal rectum, mild-to-moderate patchy erythema in the more proximal rectum, and mild mucosal edema in the sigmoid colon. Biopsies were taken from the terminal ileum, colon, and rectum and sent for tissue culture and pathology. Rectal pathology demonstrated findings consistent with CMV-associated proctitis . These findings included patchy inflammatory changes in the rectum with ulceration, ischemic-type changes, and prominent apoptosis within crypts. CMV inclusions were seen in the stroma and focal epithelial cells, and had positive CMV immunostaining. Colonic and ileal mucosa samples had no significant abnormalities and did not show findings of inflammatory bowel disease. Immunohistochemistry stains for Treponema spp. and HSV were negative. +Valganciclovir was initiated for treatment of CMV proctitis; all other antibiotic/antiviral treatments were discontinued. Repeat Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)/CMV quantitative viral load testing and serologies were sent. The EBV serum panel result was consistent with prior infection. The initial CMV IgG was mildly positive at 0.28 U/mL (reference: < 0.20 U/mL). Add-on studies from hospital day 4 showed that CMV IgG had been negative (reference: < 0.20 U/mL), while CMV IgM had become positive at 70.60 AU/mL (reference: < 8 AU/mL) . On hospital day 10, CMV IgG and IgM were both positive at 1.4 U/mL (reference: < 0.20 U/mL) and > 240 AU/mL (reference: < 8 AU/mL), respectively. Given the evolution in serology with rising CMV IgM titers and development of positive IgG over time, the clinical presentation was thought to be consistent with acute primary CMV infection. A T lymphocyte subset panel was also sent to determine CD4 count and evaluate for possible undiagnosed immunodeficiency. He had a low-normal CD4 count of 513 cells/µL (reference: 490–1740 cells/µL), elevated CD8 count of 1867 cells/µL (reference: 153–980 cells/µL), and a low CD4/CD8 ratio at 0.27 (reference: 0.73–5.86). A decreased CD4/CD8 ratio can be seen with viral infections, including CMV infection. +The hospital course was also complicated by mildly elevated liver transaminases that trended upward to peak of 189 U/L (reference: 10–35 U/L), prior to discharge on day 14. CT of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast had not shown any hepatobiliary pathology, and a viral hepatitis panel was negative. The transaminitis was ultimately attributed to CMV infection. +The patient was discharged with a 3-week course of valganciclovir and recommended to follow-up with primary care, infectious diseases, and immunology physicians. He was counseled to abstain from sexual intercourse until treatment completion. At a follow-up visit with the infectious diseases physician 3 weeks later, the patient had significantly improved with near complete abatement of rectal and testicular pain, myalgias, and arthralgias.

Level III myodynamia was observed in the pretibial muscle and the triceps surae . +Following discussion with the patient, a limb salvage protocol was adopted in favor of amputation. The treatment plan consisted of two stages. The first step was to treat the infection by performing repeated debridement, replacing the external fixation, vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) and local and systemic application of antibiotics. In the second stage, the bone transport technique was used to repair the bone defect, and rehabilitation exercise was performed to restore the function of the affected limb as much as possible. The patient was informed about the treatment plan and the associated risks. A series of examinations were performed to assess the tibial infection. An X-ray revealed necrosis and hyperplasia in the middle of tibia . Single-photon emission computed tomography showed radionucleotide accumulation in the midtibial region and computed tomography angiography confirmed that the anterior and posterior tibial arteries were normal. Laboratory investigations were as follows: i) C-reactive protein, 21.6 mg/l: ii) erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 35 mm/h; iii) white blood cell count, 16.47 × 109/l; and iv) Neutrophil percentage, 84.51[50–70]. The final diagnosis was an infected right tibial nonunion with a soft tissue defect. +Debridement to completely remove the infected and devitalized bone, inflammatory and scar tissue was performed on the second day after admission . The debrided bone was replaced with a three-segment monolateral external fixator (Third Medical Instrument Company; Fig. ) followed by the implantation of vancomycin-impregnated cement beads (4 g vancomycin and 80 g cement) in the bone defects . The wound was partially closed and the dressing was changed regularly following surgery. The second debridement was performed 5 days after the initial procedure and involved the removal of inflammatory tissue and the antibiotic beads. VSD was used to cover the wound and to promote the growth of granulation tissue while simultaneously draining pus. The third debridement was performed 5 days after the second procedure, and involved the removal of the VSD. The wound appeared clean and was subsequently sutured. At this point, the bone defect measured 25 cm in length. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed following each of the three debridement procedures and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis were identified. Vancomycin and meropenem through the veins were used to treat the infection. Wound healing and infection control marked the end of the first stage of the treatment plan. +The repair of the massive bone defect posed the biggest challenge during the second stage of the treatment plan. As bone transfer technology has a number of advantages, this technique was applied. Wound healing and infection control were assessed through relevant indicators and when satisfactory, a single osteotomy was performed 2 cm away from the ankle joint surface . Bone transport was initiated 1 week later at a rate of 1 mm per day (0.25 mm four times a day). The quality of the newly formed bone was assessed 2, 4 and 6 months after osteotomy using X-rays , which revealed satisfactory osteogenesis was occurring. A total of 15 months after osteotomy, the distracted bone had reached docking site, which resulted in skin invagination and axis deviation . The embedded soft tissue was removed and the axis was adjusted. To promote docking site union, the external fixation was loosened and increasing load across the site of osteogenesis were gradually added. The total length of transport was 24.5 cm. After 40 months, union was achieved and the consolidation of the newly formed bone was complete . The patient exhibited the following range of motion: i) Knee extension, 0°; ii) knee flexion, 110°; iii) ankle extension, 10°; and iv) knee flexion, 10° . A knee valgus deformity angle of 4° and a 10 mm shortening of the tibia were observed. The bone healing index was 1.6 months/cm. When the bone and soft tissue wound have healed, the patient was able to walk painlessly without ambulatory assistive devices and resumed daily activities successfully. The ASAMI was used to assess the limb function and bone healing, and revealed a good functional and bone repair result. Similarly, the KSS of functional outcome yielded good result and the LEFS was 65. +Eighteen months after the bone and soft tissue wound have healed, we performed a follow-up evaluation with Short Form-36 (SF-36) score and LEFS (Additional files , and ). The SF-36 score was 86, and the LEFS was 70.

Notably, 2 months before admission, she was incidentally found to have a sellar mass . Initial workup revealed severe hypoglycemia (17 mg/dL), and the administration of glucose restored consciousness. Given the mild hyponatremia (131 mEq/L), relatively low levels of serum cortisol (13.3 μg/dL) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (39.7 pg/mL) despite the acute sick condition, as well as a known history of sellar mass, central adrenal insufficiency was suspected, and the patient was initiated on hydrocortisone. Further, the endocrinological evaluation revealed hypothyroidism (thyroid-stimulating hormone level, 0.36 μIU/mL; free T4 level, 0.58 ng/dL; and free T3 level, 1.5 pg/mL). Her visual field was significantly narrowed, with mildly decreased visual acuity (20/200) on the left side, although these deteriorations were deemed to be attributable to glaucoma rather than the mass, considering the mild compression of the optic apparatus as well as the atypical pattern of visual field disturbance. Given her senility, she and her family initially refused surgical intervention and imaging surveillance with cortisol replacement was initiated. Two months later, however, she complained of rapid deterioration of her left eye vision and loss of light perception. Repeat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed rapid mass growth [ and ]. Imaging studies demonstrated a T1-isointense, T2-hyperintense, heterogeneously enhanced, and irregularly shaped mass with restricted diffusion in the sellar and suprasellar regions [-]. Marked bony erosion of the posterior clinoid process and dorsum sellae was noted . On 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography, the mass exhibited a maximum standardized uptake value of 6.2 . After a thorough discussion with the patient and her family, we decided to proceed with the surgery. +During surgery, a transnasal corridor was created using endoscopic visualization. The mass had destroyed the sellar floor. After opening the dura in a U-shaped fashion, the mass was piecemeal removed. It was soft, grayish, and gelatinous, compressing the normal pituitary gland to the left and invading the right cavernous sinus . Notably, the bony dorsum sellae was absent, and the sellar side of the dural membrane was almost completely torn by the mass . A bony prominence was observed on the left side of the sellar floor , which also lost its covering dura. The bony prominence was removed using a high-speed drill to access the tumor behind it. Finally, the suprasellar mass was removed while preserving the surrounding dural membrane and diaphragm. Although intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage was not apparent, we decided to reinforce the diaphragm in a multilayered fashion since the diaphragm was already thin, and we were considering postoperative radiotherapy for this patient. The sellar defects were reconstructed using in- and on-lay fascial grafts with abdominal fat pieces. The dura covering the dorsum sellae was sutured with a 4–0 STRATAFIX Spiral (Ethicon, Johnson and Johnson, NJ, US) in a non-watertight fashion and was covered with pedicled sphenoid mucosa. +Postoperative imaging revealed no residual masses [ and b]. Her visual acuity improved significantly (20/40). Histological examination revealed the presence of physaliphorous cells with a background of myxoid stroma and positive immunostaining for brachyury , leading to a diagnosis of conventional chordoma. Although the Ki-67 index was not extremely high (3%), the patient was treated with upfront adjuvant stereotactic radiosurgery (20 Gy in a single fraction), given the previous rapid progression and possible minor tumor remnants around the right carotid artery.

During this time, tachycardia (140 beats/min) with ST-segment elevation appeared on the monitored electrocardiogram (ECG), and the ECG indicated anterior wall myocardial ischemia and third-degree atrioventricular block. Shortly thereafter, the patient went into cardiac arrest. Approximately 24 h had passed since the initial visit to her general physician. Resuscitation was started immediately, and because acute coronary syndrome was suspected, the patient was moved to the cardiac angiography room, where tracheal intubation, intra-aortic balloon pumping, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) were started. +Coronary angiography (CAG) results were negative for ischemic heart disease. A diagnosis of fulminant myocarditis was made based on the pathophysiology and a myocardial biopsy was performed.

Thus, even though the patient was negative for antiganglioside antibodies, the electrophysiological study and clinical manifestations resulted in a diagnosis of MMN. +A biopsy of the patient's thyroid tissue by ultrasound-guided aspiration revealed diffuse lymphocyte infiltration, a finding that is consistent with Hashimoto's thyroiditis . She was treated with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg/day) for 5 consecutive days and then discharged. When she visited our Outpatient Department 1 month later, the weakness and deformity in her right hand was considerably improved and the conduction block of the motor nerves were mildly improved, as evaluated by follow-up NCSs . This patient will be continuously followed up at the Outpatient Department. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2636_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2636_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..66f1841d3c9433dd5ad372be81c5d5fb6f8736fb --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2636_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +A 72-year-old male patient underwent D2 radical gastrectomy in October 2017 due to elevated carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199, 902 U/mL) detected by routine examination and subsequently GC revealed by abdominal MRI and gastric adenocarcinoma by gastroscopy. Postoperative histopathological diagnosis was poorly differentiated from adenocarcinoma (Diffuse type) with HER2 positive (immunohistochemical), TNM staging (7th edition) was p-T4aN3aM0 (stage IIIC). After surgery, CA199 fell to 198 U/mL and the patient received six cycles of SOX (oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule 60mg/d d1-14) regimens of adjuvant chemotherapy. In April 2018, Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) scan showed multiple larger lymph nodes in the right upper mesentery and abdominal aorta, the larger one was about 1.52×1.03 cm, and the maximum SUV was 3.84, indicating lymph node metastasis. According to the consensus, this postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy should be considered as a first-line treatment. – show the whole treatment process and the corresponding changes in PET-CT and computed tomography (CT) scan, as well as the changes in CA199 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. +In June 2018, CA199 (1239.0 U/mL) and CEA (18.7 ng/mL) were significantly elevated in this patient. We suggested that the patient should take trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy, but because trastuzumab was not covered by the medical insurance of Chinese residents at that time, the patient refused to use trastuzumab, so we gave the DP (docetaxel 75mg/m2, cisplatin 75mg/m2) chemotherapy to the patient. After two cycles of chemotherapy, a CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a slight reduction in retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Until November 2018, new metastases were found on chest CT scan, accompanied by a significant increase in CA199 (8078.0 U/mL) and CEA (49.1 ng/mL). Subsequently, he underwent two cycles of third-line chemotherapy with irinotecan (250mg/m2). However, this regimen did not show therapeutic effect, accompanied by the continuous increase of CA199 (16644.0 U/mL) and CEA (65.6 ng/mL). +In January 2019, the patient developed back pain when a CT scan demonstrated progressive disease (PD) in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. At this time, trastuzumab had been included in the medical insurance coverage of Chinese residents, so we treated the patient with trastuzumab (6mg/kg) combined with DCF (docetaxel 60mg/m2, cisplatin 60mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil 600mg/m2/d d1-5) regimen. After two cycles of therapy, the abdominal CT showed partial response (PR) of retroperitoneal lymph nodes, the back pain was significantly reduced. After four cycles of therapy, chest CT showed that pulmonary metastases disappeared, and abdominal CT showed PR of retroperitoneal lymph nodes. By August 2019, the patient received a total of 9 cycles of this regimen, during which CA199 was reduced to the lowest value of 206.0 U/mL and CEA to the lowest value of 9.3 ng/mL. In September 2019, PET-CT showed new nodules in left lung and right lung, and multiple enlarged lymph nodes in retroperitoneal. The largest lymph node had a length of about 2.4 cm, and the maximum SUV was 10.75. At the same time, CA199 (3988.0 U/mL) and CEA (30.2 ng/mL) increased significantly.

In January 2020, CT scan showed that the retroperitoneal lymph nodes were enlarged, and CA199 (13725.0 U/mL) and CEA (48.3 ng/mL) were obviously increased. +After the patient’s disease progresses, we recommend genetic testing again. Peripheral blood tests were performed because the patient’s pathological tissue was difficult to obtain. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) (543 genes; GeneCast Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) was performed. NGS results showed that the patient had an increased copy number of HER2 gene, no HER2 gene mutation, and a negative expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Detailed results are listed in . We conducted a multidisciplinary treatment discussion on the patient’s condition in our hospital, and found that there is no standard treatment plan for the six-line treatment of advanced GC, and no relevant clinical trial has been carried out in our hospital. According to the NGS results, the copy number of the HER2 gene was significantly increased in this patient. Pyrotinib, a novel HER2 inhibitor, has been approved in combination with capecitabine in China for patients with relapsed or metastatic breast cancer who had previously received trastuzumab. We hypothesized that pyrotinib combined with capecitabine might be effective in this patient. Therefore, with the patient’s informed consent, the patient was administered pyrotinib (400mg/d) plus capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, bid, d1-14, every 3 weeks) treatment in January 2020. After three cycles, abdominal CT scans showed PR in the retroperitoneal lymph node. After four cycles, chest CT scans showed that pulmonary nodules disappeared. At the same time, CA199 and CEA decreased steadily. In August 2020, abdominal CT still showed PR in retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The patient tolerated treatment with pyrotinib well. No adverse events were observed. Until the submission of the case draft, the patient has survived for over 30 months since postoperative recurrence and now continues to receive the combination treatment of pyrotinib plus capecitabine, and the PFS is over 8.5 months. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2660_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2660_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..156cec6d696040ccb2987701ed459591a0cae996 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2660_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +A 55-year-old male patient was admitted to Shanghai Xuhui Central Hospital due to fever, cough, and expectoration for 3 days on 9 April 2021.

In the light of a stable remission of his multiple myeloma for 10 years (stage I Salmon/Durie; stage III ISS in 2014; positive CRAB-criteria: renal failure, anemia), a kidney transplantation was planned. +After deceased donor kidney transplantation in October 2015, a kidney biopsy was performed at day seven because of delayed graft function. Immunosuppressive medication consisted of cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetile and oral glucocorticoids without prior induction therapy. The biopsy revealed acute tubular necrosis, acute cellular rejection and an intracapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (Banff IA; Fig. ). The biopsy result before receiving the additional immunohistochemical staining was compatible with mixed cellular and humoral rejection. The patient received four sessions of plasmapheresis and three doses of antithymocyte globuline (75 mg each) in combination with glucocorticoid pulse therapy. Cyclosporine was switched to tacrolimus. Additional immunohistochemical stainings revealed C3c deposition and on electron microscopy mesangial and dense intramembranous osmiophilic deposits were present, indicating an early recurrence of DDD in the allograft .

Microscopic examination of the tumor disclosed well-defined nests of cuboidal cells separated by vascular fibrous septa without evidence of vascular invasion, mitotic figures or necrosis. Gland-like structures were identified focally. The individual tumor cells had a large central nucleus and small to medium-sized nucleoli, and granular eosinophilic cytoplasm . +The diagnostic possibilities at this point included metastasis of the previous chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle and paraganglioma.

His vital signs and laboratory findings upon admission were normal, including CEA level (1.9 ng/mL) and CA19-9 level (10.6 U/mL). His operative finding was the tumor strongly adhered to the IVC; therefore, this part of the IVC was also removed via an en bloc resection of the tumor mass. Ascites and peritoneal disseminated lesions were not detected during the procedure. Macroscopically, the tumor was hard and fibrotic, measuring 66 × 58 × 50 mm. The cut surfaces were multinodular, diffusely edematous, and myxoid with focal petechial hemorrhagic necrosis (approximately 15%) and had a fish-flesh appearance . The pathological examination showed pleomorphism with bizarre multinucleated tumor cells and an average of 19 mitoses per 10 high-power fields in the tumors (A). The tumor was immunohistochemically positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA), desmin, and H-caldesmon and negative for c-KIT, CD34, and S-100 (B). +Finally, the patient was diagnosed with pleomorphic and epithelioid leiomyosarcoma with high mitotic activity. We assumed that the leiomyosarcoma was a second primary malignancy that developed from the retroperitoneum. +The patient’s postoperative course was favorable. He received adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He did not experience disease recurrence for 3 years and underwent surgical resection of locoregional and lung metastasis.

The patient had a tracheostomy and could not evaluate the verbal response, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 11. Traumatic brain injury left paralysis of his right upper extremity. The patient was at high risk of aspiration pneumonia due to diminished swallowing function, so the previous doctor had performed an additional gastrostomy, which recovered his ability to eat. +Panoramic radiography examination revealed a left condylar process fracture and dislocation of the bilateral mandibular condyles. On computed tomography examination, the left condylar process fracture on the medial side and both mandibular condyles greatly exceeded the articular tubercle . +We attempted a manual reduction owing to the existing diagnosis of old left condylar fracture and bilateral anterior dislocation of the TMJ, but reduction was impossible. Therefore, we planned to perform right condylar resection using an intraoral approach. In addition, we evaluated the planned procedure using a three-dimensional model and confirmed that it would not disturb the jaw reposition, because the left condylar process fractures to medial. We confirmed that it was difficult to reduce and fix the old fracture and that it did not interfere with the reproduction of the original occlusion on the three-dimensional model, so we decided to treat it conservatively. +We performed right condylectomy with the patient under general anesthesia. Manual reduction was performed again in a state of muscle relaxation, but reduction was not possible. After an incision was made in the buccal mucosa according to the sagittal split ramus osteotomy, the inside and outside of the mandibular ramus was revealed, and the coronoid process and the neck of the mandible were confirmed . The coronoid process obstructed the visual field, so it was cut and resected with a reciprocating saw . Using a saw and osteotome, the base of the condylar was cut and separated from the surrounding soft tissue to remove the condylar head . We confirmed that the mandibular body had moved backward and that the molars could achieve the occlusion, and the wound was closed. Intermaxillary traction was started during the postoperative period using an intermaxillary fixation screw inserted in the alveolar region to improve occlusal deviation. Twenty-one days after the operation, a normal occlusion was obtained, and intermaxillary fixation screw was removed. During the 12-month postoperative follow-up period, no TMJ dislocation recurred, and the occlusion remained stable . After the operation, he was able to open and close the mouth by himself, and the lips could be closed, so that hypersalivation did not occur. His left condylar process was displaced inward owing to a fracture, but the opening and closing movements were possible because the hinge movement centered on the left condylar process. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2803_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2803_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cb10f79d4984b81de423544fca0a1287e1b78653 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_2803_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A three-year-old girl was first referred to us at nine weeks of age with persistently high inflammatory markers and neutropenia.

After uncomplicated surgery and anaesthesia, the patient was transferred to the postoperative unit from where the patient went home after 3 h accompanied by her next of kin. During the first postoperative evening and night, the patient’s next of kin observed that the patient had problems with articulating words followed by increasing anxiety and confusion. At the next morning, the patient only spoke unrecognizable words, and by the afternoon, she could not walk. Approximately 24 h after leaving the hospital, the patient presented at the emergency ward. Respiration and circulation were normal and the patient was afebrile. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain was performed as well as an analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid, with both indicating no pathological signs.

Accordingly, the patient was given 100 mg hydrocortisone i.v. Cortisol in serum was found to be 796 nmol × L-1 and thus the suspicion of Addison’s disease was refuted. The patient was now anaemic with a haemoglobin of 86 g × L-1 and thrombocytopenic with a platelet count of 31 × 109 × L-1. Lactate dehydrogenase was elevated to 21.5μkat × L-1 and haptoglobin low at 0.07 g × L-1, which indicate haemolysis.

One plasma volume was replaced daily for four days and continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration was performed between plasmapheresis treatments. The patient’s haemoglobin and platelet count improved during treatment . The same positive development was seen for creatinine. Neurological status improved slowly and on the seventh postoperative day, GCS was 6 with withdrawal of the limbs on pain stimulation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) in faeces. The serotype was non-O157, produced verotoxin type 2 and was eae-gene negative. Blood analysis of Adamts-13 protein activity showed normal levels and antibodies against the protein were not observed.

She had previously been treated for breast and colon cancers and had not suffered from cardiovascular disease. Her height, weight, and body mass index were 150.0 cm, 91.0 kg, and 40.4 kg/m2, respectively. A grade IV/VI pan-systolic murmur was heard at the apex on cardiac auscultation. Her pulse rate was 105 beats/min and she was diagnosed with an irregularly rapid heartbeat (tachycardia). Her blood pressure was 124/76 mmHg. A chest radiograph revealed severe cardiomegaly with a cardiothoracic ratio of 80%, while an electrocardiogram showed persistent atrial fibrillation with a low-voltage F-wave. Computed tomography demonstrated the retention of pleural fluid or abdominal dropsy and hepatosplenomegaly. No significant coronary stenosis was observed by coronary angiography. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe mitral regurgitation with annular enlargement and severe tricuspid regurgitation. The cause of mitral regurgitation was severe tethering due to extreme annular enlargement, and the prolapse of the anterior leaflet. The left ventricular ejection fraction was 49%, the left ventricular diastolic diameter was 63 mm, and the left atrial diameter was 71 mm. Laboratory evaluations did not show any abnormalities, apart from an N-terminal-proB-type natriuretic peptide level of 7439 pg/ml. Because of the medication-refractory heart failure, we decided to perform surgery after a written informed consent was obtained. + +A median sternotomy was performed and standard cardio-pulmonary bypass was initiated with ascending aortic and bicaval cannulation. A left atrial vent was introduced from the right upper pulmonary vein. Myocardial protection was achieved in an antegrade and retrograde fashion. The retrograde cardioplegia cannula was inserted smoothly under direct vision. After aortic cross-clamping, the left atrium was opened through a longitudinal left atriotomy, revealing the tethering mechanism secondary to the prolapse of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. The clear zone of the anterior leaflet was excised and the rough zone with its attached chord were divided equally. Each divided structure was transferred to the anterolateral and the posteromedial commissures separately. The posterior leaflet, including the subvalvular apparatus, was wholly preserved. The mitral valve was replaced with a 29-mm St. Jude mechanical valve (St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN) in an intra-annular position using everting mattress sutures. Subsequently, tricuspid annuloplasty was performed with a 32-mm Carpentier-Edwards PhysioTricuspid ring (Edwards LifeSciences, Irvine, CA) for annular enlargement. Weaning from the cardio-pulmonary bypass was successful. After closing the thorax, to our surprise, an atrial mass of 3 cm × 2 cm was detected by TEE, which showed an oval hypoechoic appearance extending from the posterior annulus of the mitral valve to the posterior wall of the left atrium. Although it occupied one-third of the left atrium, there was no significant obstruction of the pulmonary venous return and left ventricular filling. The prosthetic valve movement was unobstructed and there were no paravalvular leaks or pericardial effusion. No communication between the mass and the atrial true lumen was detected using color Doppler echocardiogram. We diagnosed the mass as LAD. Because hemodynamic conditions were stable after a consulting with the anesthesiologist, the patient was deemed unsuitable for surgery. She was transferred to the intensive care unit and remained under close observation. On postoperative day 2, TEE showed that the atrial mass had vanished and the broken piece of the endocardium merely remained fluttering in the atrium. On postoperative day 6, the appearance of the left atrium had normalized completely, leaving no traces of LAD. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, except for prolonged respiratory failure. She was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 47 and is currently being followed up once a month. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3007_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3007_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..16ab043700c821d3987118ee4d825a7099dcdd7e --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_3007_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +A 25-year-old female with a history of substance abuse (smoking and daily cannabis use) and a 2017 arthroscopy of the right knee for pigmented villonodular synovitis presents to the emergency department.

On physical examination, the right knee is enlarged with evidence of free fluid in the joint and limited range of motion. As part of the evaluation, a magnetic resonance imaging of the knee is performed, which reveals extensive diffuse oedema in the subcutaneous cellular tissue, with involvement of the popliteal fossa muscle groups.

Echocardiography also revealed enlargement in the PAs, right atrium, right ventricle (RV); a D-shaped septum at diastole; severe tricuspid regurgitation; and moderate mitral regurgitation with a normal left ventricle ejection fraction. The estimated PA systolic pressure from the tricuspid regurgitant jet was 55 mm Hg. In addition, a continuous shunt flow from the left common iliac artery (LCIA) to the left common iliac vein (LCIV) was detected on a Doppler examination. Computed tomography (CT) angiography disclosed an enlarged inferior vena cava (IVC), and an AVF between the LCIA and the LCIV. Right and left heart catheterization and coronary angiography was performed in order to both exclude coronary artery disease and to perform further evaluation of the PH. Systolic, diastolic, mean, and wedge PA pressure was measured as 63, 33, 46, and 14 mm Hg, respectively. The Qp/Qs ratio of 2.5 was consistent with hemodynamically significant systemic to pulmonary shunting via a large AVF. The pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were 2.7 and 15 Wood U, respectively. The diagnosis was high-output HF with PH due to a peripheral AVF, and it was decided that the shunt would be closed percutaneously. +Using the left femoral arterial access, a 6-F right Judkins catheter was engaged at the site of the AVF, and a 0.035-mm hydrophilic guidewire was crossed over the defect and advanced to the IVC. A snare was advanced from the right femoral vein to the IVC, and following the capture and retrieval of the guidewire, a veno-arterial (VA) loop was created between the right femoral vein and the left femoral artery systems. The delivery sheath of the occluder was pushed forward through this VA loop to the LCIA. Initial attempts to use a 16-mm Amplatzer patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluder device (St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) to close the AVF failed to close the shunt. The use of an Amplatzer atrial septal defect (ASD) occluder (St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) also failed as a result of malorientation of the device within the LCIA. Finally, shunt closure was achieved with the original 16-mm Amplatzer PDA occluder device in another effort. The signs and symptoms of AVF and high-output HF were markedly relieved immediately after device implantation. A 90th-day control CT and conventional angiography confirmed the stability of device without any significant leakage or luminal narrowing in the LCIA. The invasively evaluated mean PA pressure was determined to be 30 mm Hg, the PVR was 3.1 Wood U, and the Qp/Qs ratio was almost 1.0. Due to the borderline PVR measures, pulmonary arterial hypertension-targeted treatment with bosentan 62.5 mg twice daily followed by 125 mg twice daily was initiated to be accompanied by periodic follow-up.

The speckle tracking imaging showed reduced global longitudinal strain (GLS) with apical sparing and with an apical-to-basal strain ratio 2.7 and the ejection fraction (EF) to GLS ratio (EFSR) was 4.4, which were consistent with the ultrasonic characteristics of CA. A thorough diagnostic approach was followed, in order to detect the underlying pathological condition. Several computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest showed diffuse pulmonary interstitial changes, cystic changes and shadows of lung consolidation, gradually increased shadow of small calcification on the lung surface at the bottom of both lungs, which were typical manifestations of pulmonary amyloid deposition. Whether there is pulmonary inflammation and infection needs to be determined in combination with blood cell examination and C-reactive protein level. The CMR and nuclear medicine modalities (PYP) were not performed because of his critical condition. + +For the differential diagnosis between hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis and AL amyloidosis, this patient had three serum-free light chain assays and immunofixation electrophoresis. The first results were that Fκ and Fλ were 3.05 g/L (normal range: 3.3~19.4mg/L) and 1.37g/L (normal range: 5.7 ~ 26.3 mg/L), respectively. The second result was that elevated free light chain κ (90.9 mg/L, normal range: 3.3~19.4mg/L)) and free light chain λ (62.2 mg/L, normal range: 5.7 ~ 26.3 mg/L), and Fκ/Fλ ratio was 1.46 (normal range: 0.26~1.65). The third results were elevated free light chain κ (124.78 mg/L, normal range: 3.3~19.4mg/L) and free light chain λ (74.10mg/L, normal range: 5.7 ~ 26.3 mg/L), and Fκ/Fλ ratio was 1.68 (normal range: 0.26~1.65). Serum immunofixation electrophoresis was negative for the patient, and serum-free light chain Fκ/Fλ ratio is normal or close to normal (0.26–1.65), so AL amyloidosis can be excluded.1 + +Abdominal subcutaneous fat biopsy was negative, and no other tissue biopsy was done because of his critical condition. Although the patient is an elderly male, we did not consider the patient as senile wild-type amyloid transthyretin (wtATTR) amyloidosis and insisted on TTR genetic sequencing because the latter generally does not cause progressive polyneuropathy and autonomic dysfunction. A missense mutation c. 148 G-A (p. V50M, Val30Met) was detected in TTR genetic sequencing. It is the pathological mutation site of patients with hereditary amyloid transthyretin (hATTR) amyloidosis. + +The genetic finding confirmed late-onset transthyretin Val30Met-associated hereditary amyloid transthyretin (hATTR) amyloidosis, familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) for the patient.

The patient did not have medical, family, or psychosocial history that could indicate predisposition or existence of corneal abnormalities, nor did he show any symptoms that could suggest corneal aberrations. Moreover, the patient had never undergone previous eye interventions. No financial, language, or cultural challenges occurred regarding the management of this case. The results from the initial presentation (T = 0) (that is, topographic examination) did not indicate corneal abnormalities in either eye of the patient , nor any other ocular pathologies. For GP, a buccal mucosa sample was collected by using an iSWAB collection kit (Mawi DNA Technologies, Hayward, CA, USA). After DNA was extracted (QIAamp DNA mini kit, QIAGEN Inc. Hilden, Germany) from the sample, a next-generation sequencing (NGS) test (AvaGen, Avellino Lab, Menlo Park, CA, USA) targeting 75 genes specific to the structure and health of the eye was used to analyze the patient’s DNA. The sequencing results identified four potentially pathogenic variants located on chr 5 (ADGRV1), chr 8 (PTK2), chr 16 (ZNF469), and chr 17 (KRT15) within the patient’s genome . These DNA mutations were found to carry a risk factor for ECD based on the following analysis. +Adhering to the guidelines put forward by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) for the interpretation of sequence variants , the following criteria were applied to determine which variants within the patient’s test results were most likely damaging and thus carry a risk for ECD. Sequence variants were filtered based on their minor allele frequency (MAF) in the general population and protein coding changes, categorized as missense, STOP gain/loss, nonsense, or frameshift/non-frameshift indels. Variants with an MAF < 0.01 based on The Genome Aggregation Database were considered to be possibly pathogenic. The pathology for each variant was also gauged by using three in silico prediction tools: PolyPhen2-HDIV, LRT, and PROVEAN. Each tool aims to determine the likely impact on the transcribed amino acid sequence and translated protein due to a change in the DNA sequence. All genome positions were based on the Genome Reference Consortium Human genome build 37 (GRCh37.p13). +The filtering criteria resulted in the four heterozygous, missense mutations detailed in Table . The ADGRV1 and KRT15 variants were classified as possibly damaging, deleterious, and damaging by PolyPhen2-HDIV, LRT, and PROVEAN respectively, while the variants in the PTK2 and ZNF469 genes were classified as benign, neutral, or no data available by the in silico prediction tools we used. +A further analysis was conducted by using the GeneMANIA server to provide insight of gene function for the four genes and how these variants within each gene could affect the health of the cornea via coordinated molecular pathways . This analysis found that ADGRV1 and KRT15 are coexpressed and that ADGRV1, KRT15, and ZNF469 interact with PTK2 via integrins, transmembrane cell adhesion receptors that play important roles in the regulation of cell migration during development, wound healing, and inflammatory response . All four genes are integral to eye development and various molecular pathways. A few have been indicated in eye diseases of various types. +The missense variant located in ADGRV1 results in a change in the amino acid sequence of histidine to arginine at position 4661 (H4661R) within a region of the ADGRV1 protein that overlaps with a Calx-beta domain. The Calx-beta motif is a protein motif that is used for calcium binding and regulation, and this variant may lead to conformational changes in the protein that affects the binding of the ADGRV1 protein to its interacting partners by disrupting calcium binding sites. ADGRV1 is part of the USH2 complex, which plays an essential role in the development of hearing and vision via cell surface receptor signaling pathways . A variant within this gene has previously been reported in two brothers suffering from KC . +Currently, there is no evidence that links PTK2 to ECD. However, the PTK2 variant found in the proband induces an amino acid change of tyrosine to cystine (Y726C) in the functional domain of the PTK2 protein. PTK2 plays an essential role in regulating cell migration, adhesion, spreading, and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton . +This missense variant in the ZNF469 gene results in the conversion of amino acid 3585 from glycine to valine (G3585V) within the ZNF469 protein. It is considered benign and neutral by PolyPhen2-HDIV and PROVEAN, respectively; however, the region where it is located overlaps with two regulatory regions that may affect binding of certain transcription factors (TFs) to their sites. There are numerous studies that have linked mutations in ZNF469 to KC and to brittle cornea syndrome (BCS), an extreme form of ECD [–]. +KRT15 is expressed in corneal limbal epithelial cells and is involved in wound healing [, ]. The missense variant found in this gene, which results in an amino acid change from arginine to cysteine (R115C), overlaps with an intermediate filament rod domain in the protein structure. This plays a significant role during the protein assembly process, and mutations in this functionally important area disrupt end-to-end keratin interactions that could subsequently affect the corneal epithelia . This variant also falls within a regulatory region that serves as a TF binding site . Based on tissue and upstream signaling pathways, the related TF either enhances or suppresses the transcription of KRT15. Any dysregulation of KRT15 at this TF binding site caused by this variant could affect changes in the cytoskeleton and could possibly affect the development of the lacrimal gland . +After the results of GP determined the presence of potentially pathogenic variants, the patient was recalled and reevaluated with three different advanced tomographers (T = 52 days after initial presentation): a Pentacam (OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany), an Orbscan (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY, USA), and a SIRIUS (CSO, Florence, Italy).

The Pentacam produced a Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia Display that highlighted a “warning” signal (yellow) that showed an elevation of 12 microns in the differential map of the back surface of the cornea . The Orbscan showed the presence of an alteration of the corneal posterior elevation of 0.058 mm .

A cardiac defect was suspected when he was young, but he was asymptomatic and his somatic growth was normal. Detailed assessment of his cardiac lesion was conducted when he was 30-years old. Even after the detection of cardiac defects, he missed routine follow-ups because he was asymptomatic. One month prior to admission, he suddenly developed intermittent chest pain at rest that continued for several minutes. At the primary hospital, he was diagnosed as having a congenital heart disease of VSD, tricuspid regurgitation, and severe PAH; he was transferred to our hospital for further evaluation and management. His general condition was quite good and there was no evidence of neurological or cardiovascular disorder except a pansystolic murmur. His vital signs were as follows: blood pressure of 129/79 mmHg, heart rate of 78 beats/minute, respiratory rate of 18 breaths/minute, and body temperature of 36.6 °C. Electrocardiography demonstrated a sinus rhythm with an incomplete right bundle branch block and bi-atrial abnormality, and a chest X-ray showed mild cardiomegaly. The results of laboratory tests were within normal limits: white blood cells of 6600/μL, hemoglobin of 16.1 g/dL, platelets of 212 k/μL, blood urea nitrogen of 12 mg/dL, serum creatinine of 0.93 mg/dL, aspartate aminotransferase of 28 IU/L, and alanine aminotransferase of 26 IU/L. +On TTE, the pulmonary valve was at the center position of the parasternal short axis view , and was opening well and arising from the right-sided ventricle. The aortic valve was on the left anterior side of the pulmonary valve, suggesting ventriculo-arterial discordance . CCT and three-dimensional modeling demonstrated the aorta and pulmonary trunk to be in similar positions to those shown by TTE , and demonstrated the parallel arrangement of the great arteries . TTE and CCT showed atrioventricular discordance in addition to ventriculo-arterial discordance . The left-sided morphologically RV was a systemic ventricle with prominently coarse trabeculation and an apically displaced atrioventricular valve as a tricuspid valve. The other smooth-wall right-sided pulmonic ventricle was morphologically a LV. Three-dimensional modeling of the chamber revealed similar information . The ejection fraction of the left-sided systemic ventricle (RV) was 58%. +A large VSD was also detected by TTE and CCT . While the left-sided atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve of the systemic ventricle was free of regurgitation, a moderate amount of regurgitant flow, with a peak velocity of 5.0 m/second, was noticed at the right-sided atrioventricular (mitral) valve , which we assumed was the reason why our patient was diagnosed as having tricuspid regurgitation and severe PAH at the primary hospital. However, we also detected pulmonic stenosis, with a maximal velocity of 4.2 m/second , even with the normal morphology and opening of the pulmonic valve . +Pressure measurement of each chamber by cardiac catheterization demonstrated almost equalization of both the ventricles; the systolic/diastolic/mean pressure of the LV and RV were 114/12/78 mmHg and 120/13/80 mmHg, respectively. Importantly, while the pressure of the aorta was 117/76/94 mmHg, the pulmonary arterial pressure was 36/17/24 mmHg, suggesting the protection of pulmonary vasculature by the presence of severe pulmonic stenosis. Oxygen saturation at the superior and inferior vena cava was 72.3% and 69.2%, respectively, but there was unexpectedly high oxygen saturation (93.9%) at the LV (pulmonic ventricle) near the VSD. Oxygen saturation at the pulmonary artery returned to 88.0% and the saturation at the aorta was 96.9%. +We thought it necessary to assess the detailed morphological features to explain the anatomic substrates of the pulmonary stenosis and the discrepancy in the oxygen saturation data at the right-sided LV. Detailed morphological analysis of the CCT and three-dimensional modeling and printing data were applied to understand the mitral/tricuspid valves and the VSD . The pulmonary trunk was shifted to the left and overrode the ventricular septum to become a double outlet RV relation of the arterial trunks. However, the outflows to the aorta and pulmonary trunk were separated by a prominent outlet septum . Because of the prominent outlet septum, the actual interventricular communication was smaller at the lower end of the outlet septum than at the real VSD . In addition, there was a straddling of the mitral valve, with a chordal attachment of the mitral valve to the outlet septum of the RV near the pulmonary valve . The straddling mitral valve and the outlet septum together formed a severe subvalvular pulmonic stenosis . In addition, the subvalvular structure of the tricuspid valve was connected to the interventricular septum . We interpreted these anomalies to reflect the mitral valve straddling over the posteriorly positioned VSD and hypertrophied outlet septum, which together could explain the functional and anatomical sub-pulmonary stenosis and a small amount of shunt flow through the large VSD.

Sixty minutes after intravenous injection of 204 MBq of tracer a [68Ga]Ga-THP-PSMA PET/CT was acquired from proximal thighs to skull base on a GE Discovery 690 PET-CT scanner (GE Healthcare, Chicago, USA) according to current guidelines (4 min per bed position with 23% overlap and axial field of view of 16 cm). A low-dose unenhanced CT scan (120 kVp, 0.5 s rotation time, 3.75 mm slices, Noise Index 45, 10–180 mA) was performed for attenuation correction and localization purposes. PET reconstructions included corrections for radiotracer decay, attenuation, modeled scatter, randoms and dead-time, both for time-of-flight (TOF ordered subset expectation maximisation with 24 subsets and 2 iterations) and scatter-limit correction series. The PET/CT showed increased focal uptake in the right mid-cranial fossa, with no focal uptake in the rest of the body.

The tumour contained heterogeneous low and high areas of T2 signal, patchy heterogeneous contrast enhancement and dural extension to the brain surface inferiorly. The second MRI suggested that the lesion was intra-axial. The contrast-enhanced post-operative MRI head showed complete resection of the tumour with a reduction in serum PSA to 2.93 μg/L. The histopathology report confirmed an intra-axial right temporal lobe metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma with dural extension and intense PSA and PSAP staining. Three months after neurosurgery the patient had recovered well with only mild neurological deficit (left foot drop). Surveillance MRI showed no intracranial mass or abnormal contrast enhancement to indicate residual or recurrent tumour and only expected post-operative encephalomalacia in the anterior inferior part of the right temporal lobe. The serum PSA remained elevated (2.28 μg/l). Currently, the patient is followed up with 3-monthly MRIs and PSA monitoring. ADT has not been restarted. Although the post-operative MRI head showed complete resection, the fact that histopathology documented dural involvement could explain the elevated PSA after surgery and potential presence of residual microscopic meningeal disease. The patient is currently asymptomatic, but he will undergo further PSMA PET/CT if the PSA continues to rise. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_495_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_495_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..dcff18b82a9cb373bb81efcaa5a474f7cad92659 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_495_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +A 48-year-old woman presented with crushing chest pain at rest with an elevated troponin I of 2.72 μg/L (normal <0.04 μg/L) and a normal electrocardiogram (ECG).

The procedure was performed by the attending anesthesiologist with experience in difficult intubations with patients who are pregnant. An AIC (19 F/56 cm; Cook Inc., Bloomington, IN, USA) was placed on a FOB (Olympus model LF-2 with an external diameter of 4.0 mm). Continuous fresh gas flow of oxygen at 4 L/minute was maintained via the suction port of the FOB in order to maintain better oxygenation and improve visualization by blowing out the blood bubbles. After suctioning the LMA, the FOB was easily passed between the grids of the LMA, the epiglottis and vocal cords were visualized, and the FOB was passed between the vocal cords into the trachea and introduced almost until the tracheal bifurcation. The AIC was then slid down over the FOB, and the FOB was removed . +We attempted to 'railroad' a cuffed ETT with an internal diameter of 6.5 mm down to the trachea using the AIC as a guide. Because our patient was tall, a significant length of the AIC had to be inserted into our patient in order for the distal tip of the AIC to be positioned just before the carina. This left only a short length of the proximal portion of the AIC available for the ETT to be 'railroaded' over (the portion of the AIC that was outside our patient). However, this free portion of the AIC was shorter than the ETT. Therefore, the ETT could not be safely slid over the AIC while simultaneously holding the proximal end of the AIC to maintain its position and prevent its slipping from within the trachea. . Additionally, the catheter was very slippery because of our patient's secretions and blood. Our patient's SaO2 dropped to 80%. Attempts to introduce the ETT were postponed to allow for mask ventilation, and the ETT was removed while the position of the AIC was maintained. +After two minutes of mask ventilation, when the SaO2 reached 90%, another attempt at introducing the ETT was made. With this attempt, however, a novel approach was used to create a longer guide as illustrated in Figure . After positioning of AIC via LMA with FOB . The AIC was replaced with an exchange catheter for a double-lumen ETT (14 F/100 cm, Cook Inc.). The exchange catheter was lubricated and inserted into the trachea via the inner port of AIC until mild resistance of the tracheobronchial tree was felt (60 cm deep) . The AIC was slowly removed over the exchange catheter, with careful attention made to keep the exchange catheter in place . Fortunately, this was easily accomplished because the exchange catheter was very long. +After the Aintree catheter was removed, a cuffed ETT size 6.5 was easily introduced into the trachea over the exchange catheter until 21 cm deep, and the exchange catheter was removed . The cuff of the ETT was inflated and mechanical ventilation was resumed with the following parameters: TV 500 mL, RR 12 breaths/minute, PEEP 7.5 cm H2O, I/E ratio 1:2, fraction of inspired O2 (FiO2) 1.0. Our patient's peak inspiratory pressure measured 30 cm H2O (including PEEP). The position of the ETT was verified by both the appearance of ETCO2 waveform on the monitor and via bronchoscopy (the tip of the ETT was observed 3 to 4 cm above the carina). The bronchoscopy revealed traces of blood in the trachea, which was suctioned via the suction port of the bronchoscope. No food particles were detected in the trachea. Her SaO2 level gradually reached 99%. Analysis of arterial blood revealed moderate hypercapnia (partial pressure CO2 (pCO2) of 50 mmHg) and relative hypoxemia (partial pressure of O2 in blood (PaO2) of 110 mmHg). +Considering our patient's risk of developing aspiration pneumonitis and upper airway edema, sedation with a propofol drip at a dose of 3 mg/kg/hour was initiated and our patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. Fortunately, our patient remained hemodynamically stable and was well oxygenated and ventilated. Our patient did not receive any antibiotics or steroids. She was subsequently extubated 24 hours later, after performing a leak test to rule out pharyngeal or vocal cord edema. No additional complications were noted and our patient was discharged home without any sequelae 48 hours after she was extubated. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_515_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_515_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..55dee6e7b075d3eeb2e327fafc4738bf0caf4321 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_515_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +A 65-year-old, right-handed Caucasian man was initially admitted to another hospital after a motor vehicle accident.

Other medical conditions included hypertension, psoriasis, and diverticular disease requiring bowel resection. +The patient was driving a truck alone when he crashed. When paramedics attended, the patient was found in the passenger seat, conscious but confused and combative. At this time, pulse and blood pressure were unmeasurable. Primary and secondary surveys in hospital showed no evidence of chest trauma, and the patient suffered only minor soft tissue injuries. In hospital telemetry revealed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, which was without symptoms and managed only with metoprolol – to the best of our knowledge, no other antiarrhythmic agents were used. Occasional 5-second sinus pauses were also noted, with preceding seizure activity and post-ictal altered level of consciousness for several minutes. Between events, electrocardiography (ECG) was otherwise unremarkable, with no evidence of ischemic changes or other conduction abnormalities. On the fourth day of admission, he became bradycardic and progressed to asystolic arrest requiring 4 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Spontaneous circulation returned in the form of rapid atrial fibrillation. The patient was intubated, and had a temporary pacing wire inserted until a permanent pacemaker was inserted the next day. Cardiac workup, including troponin and electrolyte levels were within normal range. Echocardiography showed a mildly dilated left atrium of 25 cm2, with no other valvular, structural or wall motion abnormalities noted. There was no evidence of right heart strain on echocardiogram or ECG suggestive of pulmonary embolus. A diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome was made, and he was commenced on metoprolol and apixaban. His behavior remained impulsive after extubation, demanding to leave the hospital, and he was discharged several days later. All other investigations at this time, including chest X-ray, electroencephalogram (EEG) and a computed tomography (CT) brain scan, were unremarkable. +One week after discharge, he presented to our hospital with his first observed generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) lasting 3 minutes, with urinary incontinence and prolonged post-ictal confusion.

Two weeks later he presented with another GTCS, and was discharged once stable from Emergency. His third seizure occurred 6 days later, at which time he was admitted and commenced on sodium valproate 500 mg twice daily in addition to levetiracetam. His EEG and CT brain scan were again normal. Two weeks later, his fourth GTCS prompted addition of carbamazepine 200 mg controlled release twice daily. An outpatient magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan showed no abnormality at this time. +He had three further seizures in 3 weeks, and tolerated several antiepileptic drugs poorly. He was admitted to our hospital 10 weeks after his first seizure due to confusion. Retrospectively, there was significant deterioration in his confusion, agitation, and impulsivity since his initial presentation, in addition to more frequent seizures. Of note, his wife also reported progressive slurring of his speech, difficulty walking, and ongoing back pain over the preceding weeks. Medications at this point were lacosamide 100 mg twice daily, and sodium valproate 1 g twice daily. He suffered no further seizures, but became agitated and aggressive, requiring one-to-one nursing, regular olanzapine, and four-point limb restraints. +His refractory and progressive symptoms prompted further investigation.

ANNA-1 (Hu) antibodies, GABAB-R antibodies and unmatched oligoclonal bands were also present. Serum was also positive for GABAB-R antibodies but not for anti-Hu antibodies. A chest CT scan revealed a spiculated mass in the right lung and perihilar lymphadenopathy. A biopsy was obtained via endobronchial ultrasound, which revealed small cell neuroendocrine tumor. A subsequent MRI spine scan revealed diffuse vertebral metastases. +He was commenced on etoposide and carboplatin, as well as a trial of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). Although suffering chemotherapy-related side effects including febrile neutropenia from staphylococcal septicemia, he showed some improvement with this therapy.

At laparotomy, a 4 × 5 cm mass was found within the gallbladder, located on the free surface of the body and fundus of the gallbladder. Neither metastases nor direct invasion to the liver was found. The entire mass and gallbladder were excised and intact. Pathological findings were as follows: On grass inspection of the operated material, the gallbladder measured 10 × 6 × 5 cm, and had a smooth external surface. On opening the specimen, an intramural tumor 5 cm in diameter located in the free wall of the body and fundus of the gallbladder . Histologically, the tumor was seen infiltrating into the mucosa extensively, and some penetrated the muscular layer but not through the serosa of the gallbladder into the liver. The gallbladder with tumor was completely excised with free resection margins. The tumor consisted of nests of small oval cells with round-to-oval neclei and these nests were separated from each other by thin fibrovascular bands. The tumor showed moderate pleomorphism with scattered mitotic figures, but no definite evidence of vascular permeation, perineural invasion or lymphatic permeation was seen . Immunohistochemical studies of paraffin sections revealed strong positivity for chromogranin A and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) . It was diagnosed as a classical carcinoid tumor of the gallbladder. After surgery, the patient had an uneventful recovery without incident. No recurrent lesion was found using abdominal ultrasound examination and CT scan 12 months after cholecystectomy. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_598_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_598_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..810d8fe3dc5bfab905db80d510e43d24aa08f55d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_598_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +The proband was an 18-year-old female who was hospitalized with abnormal behavior for 3 d beginning October 19, 2021. +Three days before she visited the local psychiatric hospital, she suddenly refused to eat, accompanied by glazed eyes and with no definitive causes. +She was born by cesarean section at the 33rd week of her mother’s second pregnancy.

She experienced dizziness following an injection of human menopausal gonadotropin administered by a gynecologist and a visit psychologist. In addition to her dizziness, she also suffered from insomnia, tinnitus, and anxiety. Therefore, she was referred to a psychologist. However, the treatment of tranquilizers such as benzodiazepines and antidepressants such as serotonin selective re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) failed to cure the dizziness and only slightly improved her insomnia. She was therefore referred to our department for further examination and treatment. She expressed her dizziness as an event wherein she experienced frequent paroxysmal earthquakes occurring within seconds. The frequency of such episodes had recently increased to once every 5 minutes. She felt stable while doing her household tasks and she had never fallen. Audio-vestibular examination, including pure tone audiometry, posturography, and head MRI, revealed no abnormal findings. Her blood examination findings were normal; there was no spontaneous or evoked nystagmus. However, the peripheral part of her hand and foot often became pale due to poor peripheral circulation, an observation similar to Raynaud's phenomenon. She also experienced chronic headache and insomnia, whereby she woke up every 2 hours during the night. The results of the psychological examination were as follows: Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), 47; Japanese version of the Cornell Medical Index (CMI), III; Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS), 27; and Maudsley Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI ), 9. MAS indicated a high level of anxiety. We deduced that her dizziness was due to psychosomatic reasons together with poor peripheral circulation. We prescribed setiptiline maleate and an additional herbal medicine, which is known to improve peripheral circulation. Within 2 weeks her symptoms slightly improved and the level of dizziness reduced to less than one third. However she didn't want to keep taking these drugs, since she want to have a baby. No abnormality was reported in any physical examination, including posturography. We diagnosed the patient's condition as phobic postural vertigo. Although she often experienced palpitations, cardiological examination reported no abnormal findings. These results indicate the existence of autonomic dysfunction due to psychological stress, including anxiety. We decided to focus on treating the patient's anxiety and the supposed autonomic dysfunction. After 1 month following the patient's first visit, AT was introduced by a clinical psychologist so as to ease her mental stress. The psychotherapy consisted of one 45-minute session every 3 weeks. The first session began with a brief introduction to the general background information about the cognitive approach, after which the patient was instructed how to perform AT. Thereafter, the patient performed AT in a relaxed sitting position on a chair for 10 minutes 3 times a day. No self-monitoring was advised. The patient was instructed to carry out slow and deep abdominal breathing at the beginning of AT and regular breathing during AT. She diligently and regularly continued this AT routine 3 times a day at her home, according to a written timetable. She learned all 6 standard formulas of AT in 6 psychotherapy sessions. Astonishingly, after the introduction of AT, her mood stabilized and her dizziness, insomnia, and headache disappeared in a few weeks. The dose of clotiazepam was reduced to 5 mg once a day. No additional treatment was administered. At 6- and 9-month follow-ups, the patient was free from dizziness, insomnia, and headache. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_649_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_649_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..efd57e734f8c2b0a91c9de29169c92b43928a7dc --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_649_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +This is a 50-year-old woman with an established diagnosis of MS manifested by transverse myelitis.

The skin lesions were in a dependent distribution involving more of the flexor surface than extensor surface. Joint exam revealed polyarticular arthritis with pain and swelling in the right 2nd and 3rd metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints and left 3rd (MCP). Boutonniere deformities were observed in both hands (left more than right), as well as subcutaneous nodules under the elbow. Significant pitting edema was found in the lower extremities.

He underwent bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), and the transbronchial lymph node biopsy of the mediastinal lymph node showed non-caseating granulomas. Acid fast stain and mycobacterium culture were negative. To rule out a lymphoproliferative disorder as a differential of non-caseating granulomas, PET scan, bone marrow biopsy and flow cytometry were performed, and they were negative for clonal lymphocytic proliferation. A clinical diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made, and his Prednisone dose was increased to 40 mg daily (patient was on a steroid taper and taking Prednisone 20 mg daily prior to this admission), resulting in rapid pulmonary symptoms improvement. No extrapulmonary signs of sarcoidosis developed in the course of his illness (e.g. erythema nodosum). +Six months after his first course of Rituximab, his proteinuria had increased back to 7 g/gm (day 291), so a decision to repeat Rituximab course was made.

Patient again manifested a dramatic initial response to the treatment with reduction of proteinuria to 1.1 g/g (day 371), but with a slow increase in his urine protein to creatinine ratio over the following 3 months, to an average of 3.8 g/g, compatible with an overall partial response if compared with his initial proteinuria of 11 g/g on presentation . His Creatinine level has remained stable between 0.8 ~ 1.1 mg/dl during the period of one and half year follow-up.

On physical examination, he had facial plethora, central obesity, pitting edema of limbs, without evidence of purple striae or hyperpigmentation. On neurologic examination, cranial nerves function was intact, proximal and distal force were 3/5, and tendon reflexes were diminished. Other examination was unremarkable. His problem was started a year ago with weight gain (4 kg), fatigue, proximal muscle weakness, easy bruising and hypertension. He didn’t complaint paroxysmal hypertension, headache, palpitation, or sweating. He had been smoker of 20 pack/y for almost 30 years, with no previous medical or surgical history, and no family history for endocrine disease. Initial work up on admission revealed marked hypokalemia (2.1 mEq/L), metabolic alkalosis (pH: 7.58, HCO3:57.2 mEq/L) and blood glucose of 330 mg/dL. Electrocardiogram showed long QT interval (0.52 s), inverted T wave, and prominent U wave in precordial leads. The patient admitted in coronary care unit. According to high suspicious of CS, 24-h urine for urinary free cortisol (UFC) was collected. Laboratory data revealed UFC greater than 1000 μg/24 h (reference value: 50–149 μg/24 h), serum ACTH 257 pg/mL at 8 AM (reference value: 9–46 pg/mL), and morning serum cortisol 57 μg/dL (reference value:5.5–26.1 μg/dL) . Following 8 mg oral administration of dexamethasone at 11 PM, no suppression was found at morning serum cortisol level (67 μg/dL). Considering ACTH-dependent CS, dynamic pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done that did not show pituitary adenoma; spiral chest and abdominopelvic computed topographies (CT) were unremarkable, except of the significant enlargement of bilateral adrenal glands. Treatment with ketoconazole, 200 mg every 12 h, was initiated to control hypercortisolism. According to persistent hypokalemia despite excess potassium supplement (> 120 mEq/day) 2 days after starting ketoconazole, the patient was scheduled for bilateral trans-abdominal open adrenalectomy on 28 December 2005. The weights and sizes of excised right and left adrenal glands were 18 g, 6× 3× 0.8 cm and 20 g, 6× 3.5× 1 cm, respectively. Microscopic examination revealed diffuse adrenocortical hyperplasia. Three days after surgery, 24-h UFC, morning serum cortisol and ACTH levels decreased to 27 μg/24-h, 2.2 μg/dL, 44 pg/mL, respectively, furthermore blood pressure and serum potassium and glucose levels were normalized. The patient was discharged on daily dose of 5 mg prednisolone and 0.1 mg fludrocortisone. All signs and symptoms of CS were resolved gradually during 4 months, and 24-h UFC was consistently less than 4 μg/24-h. He remained asymptomatic and during annual laboratory follow-ups results of serum ACTH and UFC were unremarkable, i.e. ACTH < 50 pg/mL, UFC < 4 μg/24-h. In November 2016, serum ACTH began to rise, and in November 2017 reached to 341 pg/mL . Reassessment for ectopic ACTH producing NET was performed using spiral neck, chest, and abdominopelvic CT-scans. A 2 cm mass in the middle lobe of the right lung was found and dynamic contrast enhanced pituitary MRI and Technetium-99 m-octerotide scan were normal . A CT-guided biopsy from the lung mass showed a tumor composed of solid nests of small monotonous cells with no atypia or mitotic activity, suggesting an ACTH-producing carcinoid tumor. Histologic examination of the resected right middle lobe revealed carcinoid tumor without involvement of hilar, subcarinal and intralobar lymph nodes. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining showed diffuse positivity for chromogranin, synaptofysine, and ACTH ; the proliferation marker of Ki-67 was positive in 1% of the neoplastic cells, with the final diagnosis of ACTH-producing carcinoid tumor. Postoperative course was uneventful, and serum ACTH level decreased to less than 100 pg/mL. Approximately 7 months later, serum ACTH level had an upward trend to 171 pg/mL . Spiral chest CT scan revealed at least 2 nodules measuring up to 5 mm in the lower lobe of the right lung. There were also suspicious lytic bone lesions in thoraco-abdominal CT. Subsequently, whole body bone scan with TC99 was performed suggesting multiple metastatic bone lesions at clavicles, ribs, iliac, temporal and parietal bones . CT-guided left iliac wing biopsy revealed thick sclerotic osteoid tissue, without neoplastic involvement, IHC staining for cytokeratin and chromogranin were negative, although serum chromogranin level was reported 2062 ng/mL (reference value: < 100 ng/mL). Hence, according to the high level of the chromogranin, as well as the presence of nodular lesions in the lung, the patient was managed as a metastatic NET, treatment with bisphosphonate and somatostatin receptor analogous was started. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_723_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_723_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f2196080bb97adf489785872823922c9c36905e4 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_723_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +We report the case of a 2 years and-5-month-old boy admitted in our clinic for fever with the onset 3 days before admission associating abdominal pain and diarrhea within the last 24 hours.

The rapid urine exam was negative. The chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound and echocardiography showed no pathological findings. The blood and urine culture were negative. Corroborating the previously mentioned findings we raised the suspicion of pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome possibly associated to COVID-19. We performed a RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 infection, but it was negative. Nevertheless, the serology (IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2) for this infection was positive. Thus, established the diagnosis of PIMS-TS. +We initiated intravenous immunoglobulin in a dose of 2 g/kg/day associated with empirical antibiotic (ceftriaxone), anticoagulation therapy (low-molecular weight heparin) and symptomatic drugs (antipyretics, antiemetics, and antidiarrheics). In spite of this therapeutic approach, the fever persisted for the following 36 hours with no clinical improvement. Moreover, the laboratory test performed on the 3rd day of admission showed an increase of the CRP value (216.65 mg/L), and the persistence of elevated NT-proBNP (9,884.2 pg/mL) and D-dimer (1,198 ng/mL), associating also hypoalbuminemia (2.45 g/dL). Therefore, we initiated intravenous methylprednisolone (10 mg/kg/day) for 3 days followed by slow tapering and substitutive treatment with human albumin. We also repeated the echocardiography and we found minimal pericardial effusion, slight dilation of the left cavities (left ventricle - LV z score: 1.6, LV sphericity index: 1.66), regional wall motion abnormalities with dyskinesia of the inferior and infero-septal basal segments of the LV. Moreover, the LV systolic dysfunction was affected, with LV ejection fraction of 40%, with mild mitral regurgitation ; but no coronary impairment. Thus, following pediatric cardiologist’s recommendation, we associated angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (Lisinopril), Spironolactone and Hydrochlorothiazide. The serial echocardiography performed during the following days of admission revealed the resorption of the pericardial effusion, with improvement of LV function, correlated with decreased serum levels of NT-proBNP (123.1 pg/mL) and troponin (5.2 pg/mL). +The patient was discharged on the 11th day of admission without any complaints and most of the laboratory parameters within normal ranges, except of D-dimer.

The patient was in functional NYHA class II despite maximally tolerated doses of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for the past six months. The presenting ECG showed sinus rhythm with an LBBB morphology and a QRS duration of 160 ms . Echocardiography revealed an enlarged left ventricle (LV) with an ejection fraction of 26%, normal wall thickness, overt signs of intraventricular dyssynchrony (apical rocking and septal flash), moderate mitral regurgitation, biatrial enlargement, and non-dilated right ventricle. The lab results were unremarkable. Given the clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic findings, the patient had a class I recommendation for CRT. Our laboratory has adopted CSP as the first option for patients with CRT indications for the past two years. For this case with potentially difficult anatomy (dilated LV and atria possibly displacing and modifying the trajectory of the conduction system), we decided to perform the procedure guided by a 3D mapping system, the Ensite Precision system (Abbott Cardiovascular, Plymouth, MN, USA), to reduce the X-ray exposure. After obtaining two separate entry sites in the axillary vein, a conventional atrial lead was placed at the right ventricular apex and connected to the 3D system to serve as a reference and backup pacing. Using the other axillary route, a deflectable decapolar EP catheter was used to create the anatomy of the right atrium, the coronary sinus, and the basal part of the right ventricle. After delineating the tricuspid valve, we thoroughly mapped and tagged the His bundle (HB) cloud from proximal to distal (a). With the map completed, the EP catheter was withdrawn, and a deflectable Medtronic C304 His catheter (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) with a Medtronic SelectSecure 3830 lead (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) inside was introduced. The lead was connected in a unipolar fashion to the 3D system so that the tip of the lead would be visible on the map (a). The catheter was placed at the distal part of the HB cloud (b), where repeated pacing showed complete correction of the LBBB, but unfortunately, at unacceptably high thresholds (3 V at 1ms pulse duration) (c). In the next step, a point was marked on the 3D map at 1.5 cm from the distal His location towards the right ventricular apex (d). The catheter was placed at that spot, and the lead was screwed deep into the septum under minimal fluoroscopic guidance until fixation beats with right bundle branch block morphology were observed (a,b). Pacing at that site revealed a narrow QRS complex with a QR morphology in lead V1, a duration of 125 ms, and an LVAT of 70 ms (c). Differential pacing with two extra stimuli showed an evident change in the morphology of the premature complex, proving the initial capture of more than one structure and, implicitly, the LBB capture (d). The catheter was retracted and slit, followed by atrial lead placement in the right atrial appendage under fluoroscopy. The procedural pacing threshold was 0.75 V at 0.4 ms pulse duration with a detection of 12 mV and a fluoroscopy time of 2 min. The total procedural time was 120 min, with 17 min dedicated to 3D mapping. The final electrocardiography showed atrial synchronized, narrow-paced QRS complexes with different degrees of fusion . There were no periprocedural complications, and the patient was discharged uneventfully the next day. The pacing and sensing thresholds were stable over the follow-up period. The 3-month echocardiography follow-up revealed a significant increase in LVEF (from 26% to 43%) and a decrease in left ventricular volumes (the end-systolic volume decreased from 174 mL to 132 mL).

There was no tenderness in her abdomen during admission. +Blood investigations showed marked impaired liver function of TBIL 19.5 umol/L, ALT 102 U/L and AST 214 U/L. Markers of inflammation were shown to be elevated in patients, such as WBC 15.38 × 10^9/L, NEU% 88.3, procalcitonin (PCT) 4.40 ng/ml (range, 0–0.05). CA19–9 was elevated at 56.52 U/ml (range, 0–27). Ultrasonographic examination of the biliary tract showed choledocholithiasis (4.4 cm × 2.0 cm) with dilatation of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct . Of note, the outer layer of the stone was hyperechoic while the inner layer was hypoechoic. The strange phenomenon suggested that calculi may be made of two components at least. Then the patient underwent the upper abdominal enhanced computed tomography (CT), and the results revealed the muddy stone in intrahepatic bile duct with dilatation and pneumatosis and showed post-subtotal gastrectomy feature. However, the most critical finding which CT revealed was a strip of hyperdense inside the CBD, which was 4.0*2.5 cm with CT values about 57HU . It was worth mentioning that the patient didn’t have any past medical history about stents implantation. We diagnosed choledocholithiasis with acute obstructive cholangitis initially. However, we still didn’t know the essence of the hyperdense hidden in the bile duct. +To prevent the patient from getting worse, we recommended ERC or PTC or surgery as a choice to the patient and her family. As the success ratio of ERC or PTC was decreased due to the large size of the choledocholithiasis and the surgery history, which increased the difficulty of ERC and PTC, the patients and her family chose to perform the surgery. Under general anesthesia, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) was performed on June 19, 2017. The gallbladder had been removed before, and postoperative adhesion of abdominal cavity was severe. After removed the adhesion, the dilated CBD with a diameter of 2.5 cm was revealed. A small incision was made into the CBD on the upper margin of the duodenum. Intraoperative choledochoscope revealed the massive sandy stone in the CBD. +What’s more, a considerable stone about 4.0 cm × 2.0 cm with irregular shape adhered severely to the adjacent structures. The stone was extracted with a retrieval balloon and basket catheter. When we checked out the calculi removed from the bile duct, unexpectedly the stone was broken down, and we found a fishbone inside. The mass with a strip of hyperdense revealed by CT scan was a fishbone, which migrated into the CBD . The patient was uneventful when discharged on the eighth postoperative day, and without recurrence until 21 months after the operation (Additional file ). +We reported an unusual case of fishbone-induced choledocholithiasis. In this case, the patient’s Oddi sphincter had lost function due to choledochoduodenostomy before, and the fishbone was able to pass through the choledochoduodenal anastomosis and migrate into the CBD. The fishbone acted as a core to form a mixed stone, with cholesterol as its main component ultimately. +It was secluded that the foreign body was hidden in the bile duct. These clinical manifestations always presented a diagnostic dilemma. This case’s only diagnostic clue was linear and sharp calcification within the mass. However, it was hard to connect the linear calcification to the accidentally ingested fishbone because the CBD was isolated from the digestive tract in principle. Thus, identification and removal of the fishbone as soon as possible are essential. +On the other hand, the hidden foreign body in the CBD is rare and can lead to complications which include foreign body related biliary stones. Most cases have been reported as case reports. This study reviews cases of foreign body migration reported in the literature. Method searches and reviews of the literature from “PubMed” search engines using the keywords “foreign body case” and “bile duct” were carried out. Three hundred ninety-seven papers were identified, but details for only 144 cases were available for the present study [–]. We specified a protocol for the inclusion of the literature. First of all, the foreign body doesn’t belong to the human body or isn’t a parasite. Secondly, foreign body causes diseases with abnormal migration. Thirdly, the foreign body was hidden in the CBD. +The median age at diagnosed as stones caused by foreign body was 62 years old (range 5 to 91 years). The senior people (range 41 to 80 years) were too fragile to prevent the foreign body from migrating. There was no statistical significance between the genders (the male made up 47.92% versus female 51.39%). +Details of the clinical presentations and past medical history were depicted in Table . The most common clinical presentations were abdominal pain, fever/chills, and jaundice . Most of these patients had suffered cholecystectomy, and ERCP, followed by bullet injury or shrapnel wounds in third place before the foreign body induced choledocholithiasis . +There are different kinds of foreign bodies . The postoperative complications were the most common cause. The surgical clips (49 accounts for 34.0%), stents (14 accounts for 9.7%) and the fragment of the T-tube (12 accounts for 8.3%) were the most CBD foreign body. There was another kind of foreign body that would pass through the human digestive tract and migrated to the CBD, which included the phytobezoar (9 accounts for 6.3%), fishbone (6 accounts for 4.2%), metal pin (3 accounts for 2.1%), chicken bone (2 accounts for 1.4%)and toothpick (1 accounts for 0.7%). The third significant categories included the debris of bullet or shrapnel (18 accounts for 12.5%). +To choose the best way to remove the foreign body from the CBD, we selected the valid data about the treatment and follow-up. After we made a non-parametric test to compare the outcome about ERCP, surgery and conservative treatment, the Jonckheere-Terpstra test found a significant statistical difference(P = 0.044) and indicated the ERCP was the best way to extract the foreign body while the surgery was chasing closely behind . Only a relatively small proportion of people used the methods of conservative treatment [–], PTC [–] and ESWL . The vast majority of victims (92 accounts for 63.89%) recovered uneventfully and were perfectly well at the follow-up clinical examination, but for others the CBD foreign body migration was an omen of misfortune and disaster, it pushed through victims with long-term problems or complications, such as pancreatitis , recurrence of cholesterol stones [, ], bile leak [, , ], subhepatic abscess , even death [, ]. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_827_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_827_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ccdd998cc57483a1fa02fb76ece54173138c4060 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_827_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +A 55-year-old male farmer with a history of trauma to the left eye with vegetative matter presented at the ophthalmology clinic with complaints of diminution of vision, redness, photophobia, and black discoloration of his left eye.

The central ulcer measured 6.5 x 5.5 mm, and showed a pigmented, elevated brownish-black plaque measuring 4 x 4 mm, with surrounding infiltrates. The ulcer appeared dry, with the presence of immobile hypopyon [Figures 1(a) and (b)]. The right eye presented with a clear cornea, early cataract, and a normal fundus. The plaque was scraped off and used to inoculate culture media. Due to the typical appearance of the ulcer (dry, pigmented plaque), we initiated hourly topical antifungal natamycin 5% treatment along with two-hourly topical moxifloxacin 0.5%, and cycloplegic and lubricating eyedrops. The culture revealed growth of the Bipolaris species. Lactophenol cotton blue staining showed acute-angled septate hyphae with boat-shaped conidia [Figure 2]. The hypopyon remained refractory to treatment after which amphotericin B (5 μg/mL) was injected intracamerally. The infiltrates became organized and the hypopyon disappeared. The lesion healed completely with central scarring and vascularization [Figure 3]. The final visual acuity was finger counting close to the face with accurate projection of light. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_830_en.txt b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_830_en.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..71d7992a8ae638b7ead795479e30cc618e52f271 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/test_raw_data/en_test/multiclinsum_test_en/fulltext/multiclinsum_test_830_en.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +The reported patient was a 33-year-old man complaining of decreased urine volume, urine color change, and lower abdominal pain.

At ICU admission, she was agitated but she still had a normal Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS 15/15). Brain Computed Tomography (CT) scan control was negative and altered neurological status of the patient was imputed to the severe sepsis. Her blood tests showed leucopenia (1680/ml) and thrombocytopenia (34000/μl). +We performed an electroencephalogram (EEG) control that evidenced slow diffused anomalies, without paroxysms or focal signs.

A new EEG control pointed out a diffused cerebral suffering state. Simultaneously her renal and liver function got worse due to the evolution of the septic state. Her feeding was still composed by glucose solutions, vitamins (Cernevit – Baxter@ spa, Roma, Italy) and amino acid intravenously administered. Then, we decided to perform a new brain CT scan with contrast in order to diagnose the cause of the worsening. This CT scan was performed at day 7 after surgery. The report of the CT scan showed a faded hyperdensity of the mammillary bodies and symmetrical hemorrhagic lesions in the quadrigeminal plate . The report suggested the need of a further diagnostic study with MRI because of the suspicion of a possible metabolic encephalopathy compatible with WE complicated by petechial hemorrhages.After the CT scan, we introduced thiamine 100 mg intravenously once a day, as supplement to the usual feeding. At the following neurological examination her GCS was 7/15, she did not open her eyes, did not emit verbal responses and localized with the right arm to painful stimuli.
