examination yielded unremarkable findings.\nAn electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed normal sinus rhythm and a Wolff\u2013 Parkinson\u2013 White pre-excitation pattern (Fig.1: Top), produced by a right-sided accessory pathway.\nTransthoracic echocardiography demonstrated the presence of Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve, with apical displacement of the valve and formation of an

had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis that had been treated and cured.\nA computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed multiple tiny nodules in both lungs.\nA thoracoscopic lung biopsy was taken from the right upper lobe.\nThe microscopic examination revealed a typical LCH.\nThe tumor cells had vesicular and grooved nuclei, and they formed small aggregations around the bronchioles (Fig.1).\nThe tumor cells were strongly positive for S-100 protein, vimentin, CD68 and CD1a.\nThere were infiltrations of lymphocytes and eosinophils around the tumor cells.\nWith performing additional radiologic examinations, no other organs were thought to be involved.\nHe quit smoking, but he received no other specific treatment.\nHe was well for the following one year.\nAfter this, a follow-up CT scan was performed and it showed a 4 cm-sized mass in the left lower lobe, in addition to the multiple tiny nodules in both lungs (Fig.2).\nA needle biopsy specimen revealed the possibility of a sarcoma; therefore, a lobectomy was performed.\nGrossly, a 4 cm-sized poorly-circumscribed lobulated gray-white mass was found (Fig.3), and there were a few small satellite nodules around the main mass.\nMicroscopically, the tumor cells were aggregated in large sheets and they showed an infiltrative growth.\nThe cytologic features of some of the tumor cells were similar to those seen in a typical LCH.\nHowever, many tumor cells showed overtly malignant cytologic features such as pleomorphic/hyperchromatic nuclei and prominent nucleoli (Fig.4), and multinucleated tumor giant cells were also found.\nThere were numerous mitotic figures ranging from 30 to 60 per 10 high power fields, and some of them were abnormal.\nA few foci of typical LCH remained around the main tumor mass.\nImmunohistochemically, the tumor cells were strongly positive for S-100 protein (Fig.5) and vimentin; they were also positive for CD68 (Dako N1577, Clone KPI), and focally positive for CD1a (Fig.6), and they were negative for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, CD3, CD20 and HMB45.\nThe ultrastructural analysis failed to demonstrate any Birbeck granules in the cytoplasm of the

white male with a 4 year history of Crohn's disease presented with an acute two day history of malaise, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and stomal diarrhoea.\nHe complained of joint pains affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeals, knees and ankles.\nThere was also a rash on the elbows, ankles and feet, which began as erythematous macules and evolved to vesico-pustular lesions followed by crusting.\nThere was no history of sexual exposure or any intercurrent infection.\nHe was on no regular medication, but had discontinued Pentasa 4 months earlier.\nOne month earlier he had undergone a laparotomy to excise a complex ileo-cutaneous fistula with blind tracts, and two weeks earlier a defunctioning ileostomy had been created in view of persistent abdominal pain.\nThe cutaneous fistula had been present for a year, but was associated with a terminal ileal stricture and ileo-rectal fistula of at least 2 years duration.\nHis bowel disease had been resistant to immunosuppressive drugs including azathioprine, corticosteroiods and three infusions of Infliximab a year earlier.\nThere had been no extra-intestinal manifestations.\nOn admission to the hospital, he was thin, afebrile with a resting tachycardia of 125/minute.\nThe rest of the cardio-respiratory examination was normal.\nThe abdomen was minimally tender around the ileostomy without guarding or rebound tenderness.\nExamination of the skin revealed some pustules and crusts around the elbows, ankles and feet (Fig 1 and 2).\nThe buttocks were spared.\nThere were clinical signs of synovitis of the wrists, proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints, and also both ankles.\nResults of the laboratory tests showed a haemoglobin of 13.1 gm/dl, white blood count 15.8 \u00d7 109/L, platelets 585 \u00d7 109/L, C- reactive protein 37.7 mg/L and erythrocyte sedimentation rate 69 mm/hr.\nUrea and electrolytes, complement, urine analysis and microscopy were normal.\nRheumatoid factor, antinuclear and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, cryoglobulins and Hepatitis B and C serology were negative.\nTransthoracic echocardiogram showed no signs of endocarditis, and multiple blood cultures were sterile.\nA skin biopsy from the ankle revealed a perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with prominent neutrophils and associated fibrinoid necrosis of vessels consistent with 'leukocytoclastic' vasculitis.\nHe was commenced on 60 mg prednisolone per day leading to prompt and complete resolution of all features.\nThe dose of prednisolone was rapidly tapered over the course of one month by the patient, faster than advised but without any recurrence over the following 3 years.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "23 year old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text":

was obtained with Cisatracurium (0.15 \u03bcg/kg).\nTransoral intubation was performed with a Macintosh blade (No.3) and a size 7 mm diameter reinforced tracheal tube was easily and gently placed in the trachea, on the first attempt and was then fixed to the right corner of the mouth.\nNo problems were encountered during laryngoscopy and intubation.\nThe cuff of the tube was inflated with a pressure \u2264 20 cm H2O.\nNo adjustment of cuff volume was made intra-operatively.\nN2O was not used for inhalation anaesthesia.\nThe throat pack was placed in the pharynx to avoid the passage of blood in the aero-digestive tract.\nGeneral anaesthesia was maintained with Sevofluorane in oxygen/air and Remifentanyl in continuous infusion 0.25 \u03bcg/kg/min.\nModerate arterial hypotension was maintained with a cuff systolic artery pressure of approximately 90 mmHg.\nThe operation was carried out in a semi-supine position with the head slightly inclined forward and laterally and trunk slightly elevated.\nDuration of the operation was 100 minutes.\nThe patient was extubated, after removal of the throat pack without problems.\nThe following day the patient complained of difficulty in swallowing, dysphonia and hoarseness.\nExamination revealed deviation of the tongue to the right side and vocal cord paralysis, expression of hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury without local oedema or haematoma.\nThe movements of the pharynx and soft palate were normal.\nMeticulous neurological examination, including also magnetic resonance imaging (MRN) revealed no other evidence of central or cranial nerve involvement.\nConservative management included steroids, vitamins together with speech and swallowing therapy.\nFull recovery of lingual and laryngeal functions was

2003, this man became ill with fever, diaphoresis, headache, nausea, and anorexia.\nHe had just returned from a 7-month vacation in the Philippines.\nThree days after symptoms onset, his physician prescribed doxycycline.\nSymptoms continued and he was admitted to a local hospital 5 days later with a fever of 38.9\u00b0C, nuchal rigidity, headache, and general malaise.\nThe patient described no recent contact with sick persons; past medical history was unremarkable.\nOn physical examination, he was somnolent but fully oriented, with no focal findings on neurologic examination and only slight nuchal rigidity.\nHe had a leukocyte count of 21,000/mm3, including 16,400/mm3 neutrophils.\nCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed leukocyte count of 487/\u03bcL with 80% polymorphonuclear cells and 18% lymphocytes, and glucose and protein levels <20 mg/dL and <167 mg/dL, respectively.\nGram stain of CSF showed gram-positive cocci in pairs (Figure).\nEmpiric therapy (ceftriaxone, vancomycin, and ampicillin) for bacterial meningitis was begun.\nComputed tomographic scan of the head showed only sinusitis; findings of chest radiograph and transesophageal echocardiogram were negative.\nOn hospital day 2, blood cultures grew gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains.\nThe organism was catalase-negative, bile esculin-negative, and pyrrolidonyl aminopeptidase-negative, consistent with Streptococcus spp.\nA latex agglutination test did not detect Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen.\nAntimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that the isolate was sensitive to penicillin (MIC = 0.03), ceftriaxone, and vancomycin but resistant to tetracycline and clindamycin.\nAntimicrobial therapy was changed to penicillin G, 24 million units intravenously per day.\nOn hospital day 5, the patient complained of hearing loss in his left ear.\nResults of nasopharyngeal endoscopy were negative.\nBy hospital day 7, the organism was identified by the API 20 Strep System (bioMerieux, Marcy l\u2019Etoile, France), as S. suis serotype 2.\nThe patient subsequently stated that he was a butcher with a culinary preference for partially cooked pork, which he had eaten in the Philippines until the week prior to onset of symptoms.\nOn hospital day 9, a formal audiology evaluation showed severe bilateral sensorineural high-frequency hearing loss (\u201370 dB).\nThe patient completed a 10-day course of parenteral antimicrobial drugs and was discharged on continued oral therapy with close followup.\nTwo months after discharge, the patient reported much improved hearing without other sequelae.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "60-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 36, "end": 47 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 48, "end": 51 }, { "text": "San Francisco", "label":

"full_text": "A 74-year-old man was referred to our hospital in November 2000 because of liver dysfunction detected during a medical checkup.\nThe patient had been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in 1995.\nLaboratory examinations showed elevated serum hepatobiliary enzymes and IgM, and the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies.\nSerologic markers for Hepatitis B and C viruses were negative.\nHistopathologic examination of a liver biopsy specimen obtained at laparoscopy revealed non-suppurative destructive cholangitis in the portal area (Figure \u200b1).\nThe diagnosis of PBC (Scheuer stage 3) was confirmed and ursodeoxycholic acid, 900 mg daily, was started.\nIn January and June 2002, the patient underwent endoscopic variceal ligation plus endoscopic injection sclerotherapy as well as argon plasma coagulation for worsening esophageal varices.\nIn September 2007, the patient was admitted for the treatment of recurrent esophageal varices.\nThe platelet count had ranged between 52 \u00d7 109/L and 69 \u00d7 109/L for several years, but it was noted to decrease from 61 \u00d7 109/L in June 2007 to 8 \u00d7 109/L just before admission.\nBefore the deterioration of thrombocytopenia, the patient had no infectious diseases and received no other medication.\nOn admission, the patient had neither purpura nor bleeding episodes.\nTable 1 shows the laboratory data on admission.\nThe platelet-associated IgG level was markedly high.\nBone marrow biopsy revealed normocellular marrow without cellular atypia.\nUltrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cirrhotic liver with splenomegaly, ascites, and gallstones.\nThe spleen size had remained unchanged from previous imaging examinations.\nBased on these findings, the association of PBC (decompensated liver cirrhosis) with ITP was diagnosed.\nHuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping determined by polymerase chain reaction-sequencing-based typing or polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers (SRL, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) detected A*02010101, B*400201, C*030401, C*07020101, DPB1*0501, DQA1*0103, DQA1*030101, DQB1*030201, DQB1*060101, DRB1*080201, and DRB1*080302.\nThe 13C urea breath test for H pylori infection was negative.\nFigure \u200b2 shows the clinical course.\nOral prednisolone, 30 mg daily, for ITP was started on day 11, and diuretic therapy combined with albumin infusion for ascites was performed.\nAs the platelet count did not increase notably, pulse therapy with intravenous methylprednisolone, 1 g daily, was added on d 22 to 24.\nHowever, the response was weak and temporary.\nOn d 31, mild melena was identified.\nThe patient was given a trial of intravenous immune gamma globulin therapy, 25 g daily, on d 32 to 36, combined with a second round of intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy on d 32 to 34.\nBecause a moderate response was observed, prednisolone was continued, and the platelet count increased slowly.\nThe ascites was relatively well controlled with diuretics at discharge.\nConsidering the decompensated liver cirrhosis and the platelet count, we determined the patient required careful follow-up of esophageal varices without prophylactic endoscopic therapy.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "74-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start":

"An 18-year-old male was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 2005.\nHe was overweight with a body mass index (BMI) of 40.\nHe was started on quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel\u00ae) 900 mg daily in April 2005 and methylphenidate (Concerta\u00ae) 54 mg daily in September 2005.\nIn the beginning of August 2006 he was admitted to his local hospital with severe dyspnoea, tachypnea, tachycardia, and cyanosis.\nOn admission the blood pressure was 120/80 mmHg, and the arterial blood gas revealed a pH of 7.45, pCO2 of 3.55 kPa, paO2 of 7.76 kPa, and BE of \u22125.1 mmol/l.\nC-reactive protein was not elevated.\nThe chest X-ray showed an enlarged heart.\nHe developed hemoptysis and was treated with unfractionated heparin in suspicion of pulmonary embolism.\nHe subsequently developed cardiogenic shock and was treated with vasoactive drugs.\nIn spite of the treatment he became oliguric and his liver enzymes were rising.\nHe was referred to our hospital for further treatment.\nOn admission the blood pressure was 90/60 mmHg, despite infusion with noradrenaline.\nHis heart rate was 130/minute and his temperature was 38.4 \u00b0C.\nA thoracic computed tomography scan did not show pulmonary embolism.\nEchocardiography revealed biventricular failure and left ventricular end diastolic diameter was 7 cm.\nThe left ventricle was severely hypokinetic with an ejection fraction (EF) of 20%\u201325%.\nThe left ventricular end diastolic pressure was markedly elevated, and there was a moderate mitral regurgitation.\nIntermittent hemodialysis was initiated.\nHis liver function improved slightly, but despite dialysis the renal function deteriorated with increasing creatinine values.\nAfter three days there was a further worsening of the left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction of 10%\u201312% and marked pulmonary hypertension with systolic pulmonary pressure estimated to 30 mmHg.\nThe clinical picture resembled dilated cardiomyopathy with low output failure causing renal and liver failure.\nWe suspected drug-induced cardiomyopathy and methylphenidate and quetiapine fumarate were discontinued.\nScreening for infectious pathogens, immunological markers, and iron or amyloid deposition were all negative.\nAfter three days he was transferred to the National Hospital (Rikshospitalet, Oslo) with ongoing noradrenaline and dobutamine infusions.\nShortly after admission an intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) was inserted and noradrenaline was replaced by nitroprusside.\nCoronary angiography was normal.\nEndomyocardial biopsy from the right ventricle did not reveal any distinct myocardial pathology.\nOn treatment with IABP, nitroprusside, and dialysis, the clinical situation gradually improved and the liver function returned to normal.\nHis renal function also improved with increasing diuresis and creatinine fell from 798 to 98 \u03bcmol/l.\nHis EF was still markedly reduced (15%).\nBecause of behavioral problems and adipose stature, he was denied a heart transplant.\nHe was treated with IABP for 26 days, and after 28 days he was transferred back to our hospital.\nAt that time his liver and renal functions were normal.\nHe was treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitor, a beta-blocker, and diuretics.\nDuring the following two weeks his clinical status improved and he was subsequently discharged to his home.\nThe echocardiography still showed markedly dilated left ventricle with EF of 20%.\nIn March 2007, his clinical status was improved and he was in function class II (New York Heart Association) with an EF estimated by echocardiography to 30%\u201335%.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "18-year-old", "label":

bimanual manipulation.\nAn attempt to remove the object with conventional endoscopic instruments, such as polypectomy snares, was unsuccessful.\nThe sigmoidoscope could be passed alongside the foreign

surgical margins.\nAfter this, the patient underwent 6 weeks of image-guided external beam radiation centred on the resection field labelled at surgery.\nThe final pathology described this tumour as an infiltrating, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma associated with severe dysplasia of the bile-duct epithelium (Fig.2).\nThe patient recovered without complications and was doing well 18 months after the initial surgical procedure, with an unremarkable CT scan.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "28-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX",

ng/mL.\nUltrasonography and computed tomography (CT) revealed a 10-cm mass in the posterior segments of the right liver lobe.\nA 1.5-cm mass was also found in the left lateral segment.\nThese clinical signs indicated that the patient had inoperable HCC and Child-Pugh class A cirrhosis.\nTACE was offered to the patient.\nAngiogram demonstrated no obvious hepatic arterio-venous shunt, but multiple smaller masses in both lobes of the liver.\nAn emulsion of oxaliplatin, pirarubicin, hydroxycamptothecin and lipiodol were prepared, 35 mL and 3 mL of the mixture were administered intra-arterially to the right and left hepatic artery, respectively.\nThe patient experienced right upper quadrant pain after TACE and had an uneventful recovery.\nOne month later, a second TACE procedure was performed via the right hepatic artery and 40 mL of the mixture was administered.\nOn the next day, she experienced sudden acute dyspnoea and the peripheral oxygen saturation decreased to 90%.\nThe chest X-ray showed some increased reticular shadows in the left lung, especially in the lower zones, and a chest CT scan revealed multiple iodized oil-like high-density materials in parenchyma of the lung (Figure \u200b1).\nAfter 10 mg dexamethasone i.v. and other supportive therapies were administered, the respiratory symptom was attenuated.\nTwo days later, the patient suffered from a serious headache and transient consciousness loss, accompanying nausea and vomiting followed by confusion, lower extremity weakness.\nNon-contrast enhanced CT scanning showed multiple disseminated hyper-intense lesions in the brain, consistent with deposition of iodized oil (Figure \u200b2).\nOne week later, her respiratory and neurologic symptoms disappeared completely, and she was discharged.\nThe patient also consequently completed the other three TACE procedures, during which no similar symptoms occurred.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "49-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text":

with exacerbation of CHF and a decreased level of consciousness.\nBrachial blood pressure (BP) was measured at 55/40 mmHg.\nThe patient had four recent admissions with exacerbation of CHF.\nHer medical history was also significant for autoimmune hepatitis, but preserved liver function; esophageal varices with a bleeding episode; and long-term corticosteroid therapy complicated by adrenal insufficiency, type 2 diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.\nRecent echocardiography had revealed moderate concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction, and mild to moderate mitral regurgitation.\nCardiac catheterization in a recent admission demonstrated 50% stenosis in the second diagonal artery, with mild diffuse disease in the other coronary arteries.\nRight ventricular endomyocardial biopsy had ruled out myocarditis and infiltrative cardiomyopathies, but healing ischemic microinfarcts with atheroemboli were observed.\nPrevious BP values were also low; systolic BP was between 60 mmHg and 65 mmHg, and diastolic BP was between 40 mmHg and 45 mmHg.\nFollowing intubation, dopamine was started for hypotension management and was later replaced with noradrenaline.\nThe patient developed atrial flutter but successfully converted to sinus rhythm with two direct current electric shocks.\nCardiology consultation resulted in admission to the coronary care unit (CCU).\nOn admission to the CCU, BP was measured at 56/36 mmHg in the left arm but was not detectable in the right arm.\nAn arterial line was inserted via the femoral artery, and BP was measured at 191/92 mmHg.\nBP values were consistently much higher through the femoral arterial line than the cuff on the arms, and was higher in the left arm than in the right arm.\nFor instance, on the first day post-CCU admission, BP at one point was measured at 170/80 mmHg through the arterial line, while cuff readings on the arms were 83/74 mmHg on the left and 60/39 mmHg on the right arm.\nTo investigate the inconsistency between brachial and femoral BP values, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax was obtained using 1.25 mm slices, both before and after intravenous contrast injection with sagittal and coronal planar reformatting of maximum-intensity projection images.\nAnalysis of the initial unenhanced CT images showed densely calcified plaque or thrombus at the origins of both subclavian arteries and the right common carotid artery.\nThe CT angiogram showed absence of flow in the right subclavian artery, a very tight stenosis at the origin of the left subclavian artery and a tight stenosis at the origin of the right common carotid artery.\nBoth vertebral arteries showed normal calibre and flow (Figure 1).\nFurther management following the insertion of the femoral arterial line was based on femoral BP readings with diuretics and BP-lowering agents.\nThe patient was eventually discharged in stable condition.\nShe remained stable during the eight months between discharge and the time the present report was written, without further exacerbation of CHF or related ER visits.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "71-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

cesarean section.\nHis mother (primipara, 32 years old) had been admitted to our hospital 2 weeks previously because of reduced fetal intrauterine movements and polyhydramnios.\nThe child\u2019s birthweight was 2,330 g (<10th percentile), length 47 cm, and head circumference 33.2 cm (25th percentile).\nHe had low-set ears and bilateral clubfoot.\nApgar scores were 2, 6, and 7 at 1, 5, and 10 minutes.\nThe child presented with severe hypotonia and generalized muscle weakness, requiring ventilatory assistance and total parenteral nutrition.\nWeaning failed because of inadequate pulmonary ventilation and respiratory acidosis.\nHearing loss was detected by auditory evoked potentials, while cranial MRI showed mildly enlarged ventricles and liquor spaces.\nTwo days after birth, the infant presented with severe abdominal distension with a hypoactive bowel.\nMRI revealed marked intestinal dilation without mechanical obstruction.\nLaboratory investigations showed hypoglycemia (27 mg/dL), hypomagnesemia (0.58 mmol/L), and hypokalemia (2.4 mmol/L).\nBlood lactate was normal (1.3 mmol/L, normal range 0.5\u20132.2 mmol/L) and liver enzymes were unremarkable.\nA skeletal muscle biopsy was performed and showed scattered, hypertrophic cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-deficient and succinate dehydrogenase\u2013positive muscle fibers (figure), suggesting a mitochondrial disorder.\nMolecular genetic studies revealed marked mtDNA depletion in muscle (93% decrease as compared to age-matched controls), while a screen for mtDNA rearrangements within individual COX-positive and COX-deficient fibers4 was negative.\nWe sequenced the entire coding region and intron-exon boundaries of the POLG1 gene, identifying two reported heterozygous missense mutations in compound c.679C>T predicting p.R227W and c.2542G>A predicting p.G848S.\nSequencing of parental samples confirmed recessive inheritance.\nThe infant died at 20 days of respiratory failure.\nAt autopsy, the brain did not show remarkable changes on gross examination.\nHistology was not informative due to poor preservation of tissue; there was no evidence of neuronal damage in the spinal cord.\nThe liver showed diffuse cholestasis, consistent with total parenteral nutrition; hepatocyte steatosis, necrosis, or liver fibrosis were not observed.\nThe testicles were undescended, while remaining visceral organs were normal except for a marked dilation and thinning of the bowel wall.\nDespite normal histology, analysis of stomach, ileum, and colon homogenates revealed severe mtDNA depletion (up to 94% decrease; table e-1 on the Neurology\u00ae Web site at www.neurology.org).\nLaser capture microdissection analysis5 revealed that the mtDNA depletion was confined to the muscularis propria, being most prominent in its external layer (figure).\nGanglion cells from the myenteric plexus showed milder mtDNA depletion, restricted to the small intestine (figure).\nThere was no mtDNA depletion in liver (not shown).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "newborn", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 9 }, { "text": "boy", "label": "SEX", "start": 10, "end": 13 }, { "text": "healthy nonconsanguineous parents",

woman presented with severe acute pain in the right iliac fossa and periumbilical region.\nUltrasound and a computed tomography scan revealed a mucocele in the vermiform appendix, with a well defined lesion located at the mid zone of the appendix.\nThe patient underwent right hemicolectomy, and her postoperative clinical course was uneventful.\nGross examination of the surgical specimen showed an enlarged appendix, which was filled with thick mucinous material.\nA distinct lesion which involved the appendiceal wall, and measured 1.5 cm maximally, was identified in the mid-portion of the appendix.\nThere was no evidence of perforation, extravasation of mucin into the periappendiceal tissue, or pseudomyxoma peritonei during surgery.\nHistopathological examination showed combined GCC and MCA of the vermiform appendix (Figure \u200b1A).\nThe appendiceal lumen was dilated and lined by mucin-containing columnar epithelial cells (Figure 1B).\nThere was no significant cytologic atypia, and no mitotic figures were identified.\nFocal papillary configurations of the lining epithelium, and mild epithelial pseudostratification were present.\nIn addition, the appendiceal wall was infiltrated by glandular structures of various sizes which were arranged in nests and tubules.\nThese glandular structures comprised 2 distinct types of cells: (1) small to intermediate sized monotonous neuroendocrine cells with a small amount of finely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm, and mild cytonuclear atypia (Figure \u200b(Figure1C);1C); (2) mucin-filled intermediate sized cells (goblet cells), with peripherally located small, crescent-like hyperchromatic nuclei, and indistinct nucleoli (Figure \u200b(Figure1D).1D).\nScattered infiltrating single goblet neoplastic cells were focally present.\nAs previously described[1] the tumor nests appeared to arise from the basiglandular region of the intestinal crypts in close proximity to the MCA (Figure \u200b(Figure1E).1E).\nThere was no lymphovascular invasion, although perineural and intraneural invasion was present.\nThe tumor infiltrated the full thickness of the appendiceal wall and extended to the mesoappendix.\nTen lymph nodes were histologically identified, of which all were negative for malignancy.\nImmunohistochemically (Table \u200b1), the tumor cells of the GCC were positive for chromogranin, synaptophysin, and serotonin, which are neuroendocrine markers.\nDiffuse staining for cytokeratin (CK) 20 (Figure \u200b2), CK19, and CD99 was also present.\nThe Ki67 proliferating index revealed nuclear staining in approximately 15% of the tumor cells.\nThere was no staining for CK7.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "46-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start":

patient underwent a low anterior resection and end-to-end anastomosis with loop ileostomy.\nPathology review of the resected rectosigmoid revealed a villous adenoma with low-grade dyplasia.\nThere was no evidence of muscularis propria invasion, and a total of five pericolic and two mesorectal lymph nodes were excised and deemed benign.\nThe patient underwent ileostomy reversal five months

medical history was identified, except dysuria caused by bladder contraction.\nInitial laboratory data showed a serum level of AFP of 32.3 ng/mL (normal range: 0-15 ng/mL), but no other abnormality, which included other tumor markers, such as, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9).\nEGD revealed a 5-cm ulcerofungating mass that was comprised of three septate ulcers in the greater curvature of the gastric antrum.\nA pathological examination of endoscopic biopsy tissues confirmed the presence of moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma.\nSubsequent abdominopelvic computed tomography visualized a gastric mass with deep ulceration in the gastric antrum with perigastric lymph node enlargement.\nNo metastatic lesions were observed in the liver, lung or peritoneum, and chest radiography showed no significant findings.\nRadical subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection and Billroth II gastrojejunostomy were performed.\nGrossly, the resected specimen contained double lesions: the first was a 5.8 cm \u00d7 3.2 cm ulcerofungating mass in the antrum, with extensive hemorrhage and light gray fibrosis; and the second was a nearby 2.5 cm \u00d7 2.0 cm ulcerative lesion (Figure \u200b1).\nMicroscopically, massive numbers of pleomorphic, bizarre tumor cells with hemorrhage (syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts) were observed in the first lesion.\nHematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained tissues revealed a bubbly purple cytoplasm and giant nuclei at a magnification of 40 \u00d7 (Figure \u200b2A) and 100 \u00d7 (Figure \u200b2B).\nThe tumor involved the proper muscle layer (T2a) and metastasis was found in four of 56 regional lymph nodes (N1).\nImmunohistochemical staining showed positive immunoreactivity for \u03b2-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) (Figure \u200b3A) and focal positivity for AFP (Figure \u200b3B).\nThese findings confirmed the presence of gastric choriocarcinoma that contained small foci of an AFP-producing adenocarcinoma.\nThe second lesion was moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, which extended to the submucosal layer (T1b).\nIt was close to, but distinct from the first lesion, which was negative by immunohistochemical staining for \u03b2-HCG and AFP.\nThe patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 9.\nTwo weeks later, his HCG level was 176 mIU/mL (normal range: 0-10 mIU/mL) and his AFP level was 10.0 ng/mL.\nSix cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine (Xeloda; Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., Nutley, NJ, USA) was started at 2500 mg/m2 per day for 14 d/cycle.\nAfter two cycles, his \u03b2-HCG level had declined to < 3 mIU/mL, and has since remained at this level.\nNo recurrence or distant metastasis had occurred at his 4-year postoperative follow-up.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "70-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text":

paclitaxel without disease response.\nMolecular analysis of tumor tissue was unavailable at that time.\nHowever, her demographic profile (Asian, minimal smoking history, non-small cell histology) predicted her disease would harbor EGFR TKI sensitive cells [2].\nTherefore, she then initiated standard daily dosing of erlotinib (150 mg) and her disease responded.\nTwenty-eight months later, she acquired resistance to erlotinib with progression of disease systemically.\nFollowing further progression through an experimental angiogenesis inhibitor, she initiated pemetrexed and resumed standard dose erlotinib.\nAfter initial response, 11 months later, her disease again progressed.\nDNA was extracted from biopsy of a progressing lung lesion and examined using established techniques for analysis of EGFR mutations [5].\nDirect sequencing of exons 18\u201321 encoding the kinase domain of EGFR revealed the L858R mutation associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity (Fig.1) [2].\nIt also demonstrated the T790M mutation associated with acquired EGFR TKI resistance (Fig.1) [2].\nShe also developed headaches and there was a high clinical suspicion of CNS metastases despite negative imaging (not shown).\nShe refused a lumbar puncture.\nShe initiated empiric temozolomide plus standard dose erlotinib (150 mg daily) for presumed CNS disease, but after one cycle her headaches worsened, and she developed nausea and vomiting concerning for CNS metastases with associated raised intracranial pressure.\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain now demonstrated LM (Fig.2) confirmed by CSF cytology (not shown).\nBy direct sequencing, DNA from CSF cells harbored L858R predicting EGFR TKI sensitivity (Fig.3, left panel) but not the T790M resistance mutation (data not shown).\nBecause the result for T790M was negative in this sample, we performed a more sensitive fluorescence detection PCR-based assay that takes advantage of a PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism generated by the specific missense mutation (Fig.3, right panel, arrow, positive control) [6].\nThat result was also negative, as only the wild type peak was detected (Fig.3, right panel, bottom).\nTherefore, we hypothesized that the LM remained sensitive to an EGFR TKI if sufficiently high concentrations of drug could be achieved in the CSF.\nThe erlotinib concentration required to inhibit growth of cell lines harboring L858R by 50% (IC50) is 100 nM (nM) [2].\nStandard dose erlotinib (150 mg daily) achieves 3000 nM in plasma [7], but CSF concentrations of EGFR TKIs are as low as 1% plasma levels below the IC50 [3, 8].\nIncreasing the daily dose of gefitinib to enhance CSF penetration has been an effective strategy [3], but gefitinib is no longer available in the United States following failure in phase III NSCLC trials.\nAn analogous increase of the daily erlotinib dose above 150\u2013200 mg daily induces unacceptable toxicity.\nHowever, weekly high-dose erlotinib up to 2000 mg is tolerable [4].\nPharmacokinetic analysis of CSF from another patient with NSCLC LM (not shown) treated with 1500 mg erlotinib weekly demonstrated a peak plasma concentration of 11,300 nM with a concurrent CSF concentration of 130 nM.\nTherefore, such high dose weekly administration of erlotinib achieved a CSF concentration exceeding the IC50.\nTherefore, to increase CSF penetrance over standard daily erlotinib dosing in this patient, we initiated high-dose weekly erlotinib at 1000 mg then 1200 mg; persistent nausea precluded higher doses.\nPharmacokinetic analysis was not undertaken in this patient.\nAfter 1 month there was a partial radiographic response of LM on brain MRI (Fig.2b) and after 2 months in the cauda equina (not shown).\nHowever, hydrocephalus and persistent symptoms referable to increased intracranial pressure led to a VP shunt and whole-brain radiation therapy, after which she resumed treatment with 1500 mg weekly erlotinib.\nOne month later, progressive intra-thoracic disease led to initiation of cetixumab and erlotinib was continued but changed to low dose (100 mg) daily.\nShe survived 14 months following the diagnosis of CNS disease.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "54-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 19 }, { "text": "stage IV", "label":

vein.\nEndovascular treatment was insisted upon by the patient because of the associated intolerable intracranial bruit.\nTreatment was performed by transarterial approach under general anesthesia

subsequently navigated over a Mirage.008 microwire (eV3) to reach as near as possible to the fistula.\nThe microcatheter was flushed with 10 mL of normal saline.\nThe dead space of the microcatheter was subsequently filled with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).\nOnyx-18 was then injected over two minutes to fill the microcatheter and to replace the DMSO in the dead space.\nThe injection was stopped until unwanted flow into branches of the right ascending pharyngeal artery was observed.\nThe follow-up angiogram showed no residual shunt (Figure \u200b1).\nThe intracranial bruits disappeared immediately after the operation.\nFor the toxicity of DMSO, 10 mg dexamethasone was intravenously injected for three days.\nOn the second day after endovascular treatment, the patient complainted of

throughout the face and dizziness that preceded the seizure and he denied any affective connotation.\nSome of the seizures consisted only of a brief period of laughter without any motor involvement, but a typical seizure would consist of sudden laughter accompanied by simple motor partial seizures in both arms, more often being involved his left arm, without impairment of his consciousness state, which lasted less than 1 minute.\nHe had no previous past medical or social history other than being a smoker: 10\u201315 cigarettes per day.\nThe frequency of the seizures was initially low, but increased progressively over time to about 8\u201310 seizures/day, despite anti\u2013epileptic treatment \u2013 at the time of admission he was taking Keppra \u2013 Levetiracetam 3 x 250 mg/day and Phenytoin 3 x 100 mg/day.\nWith the Neurology Electrophysiology Department assistance we have been able to record a couple of seizures on the Video\u2013EEG His neurological examination was normal.\nDiagnosis was made on native CT scan: minimal hypodense frontal right paramedian lesion (Figure 1A), cerebral MRI (Figure 1 B\u2013F) showed a small right parenchymal homogeneous lesion 16/22/15mm, well delimited, involving gyrus cinguli, without perilesional edema and mass effect, hyperintense both on T1 and T2 MR sequences, non\u2013enhancing after Gadolinium.\nThe cerebral lesion was also documented on EEG and video\u2013EEG recordings: 3 seizures with medio\u2013frontal origin and rare interictal epileptiform elements were recorded (Figure 1I)\nUsing an interhemispheric microsurgical approach, above the corpus callosum and the right pericallosal artery, at the level of gyrus cinguli, a yellow\u2013gray, infiltrative tumour, having a moderate vascularisation had been identified and totally removed.\nThe anatomo\u2013pathological analysis revealed a grade \u2161 astrocytoma.\nThe patient recovered very well, without deficits, no gelastic seizures or epileptic manifestations; three months after operation he is still free of seizures.\nA control postop CT revealed no tumor (1 G, H)\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "27 years old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

"The patient was a 3-year-old girl with the following features of VACTERL association: absent C1 vertebra, supernumerary lumbar vertebrae, hypoplastic sacrum/coccyx, fatty filum terminale with tethered spinal cord, and three fused ribs; an anorectal malformation including a cloaca consisting of a common urogenital sinus and a duplex vagina with midline septum; type C TE fistula; right renal agenesis with moderate left hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux.\nShe had no cardiac or limb malformations, and no other major organ anomalies.\nBoth she and her father were additionally clinically diagnosed with hypermobile type Ehlers\u2013Danlos syndrome, but family history was otherwise noncontributory.\nThe diagnosis of hypermobile type Ehlers\u2013Danlos was based on the patient\u2019s hypermobility (9/9 on the Beighton hypermobility scale), very soft, fragile skin with unusual scarring, and poor skin healing.\nSkin biopsy was not performed, but testing on peripheral blood did not reveal mutations associated with other forms of Ehlers\u2013Danlos syndrome.\nMicroarray analysis initially showed a maternally-inherited deletion at 4q35.1 detected with one clone and confirmed by FISH (RP11-173M11).\nSubsequent performance of an 180K custom oligonucleotide microarray (Baylor College of Medicine Medical Genetics Laboratories) refined the deleted region deletion to a maximum size of 1.37 Mb, with karyotype revised to 46,XX,arr cgh 4q35.1q35.2 (187,321-768-188,694-589) 3 1.\nGenes in the deleted region, which contains a number of much smaller copy number variations (CNVs) identified in normal controls, include CYP4V2, KLKB2, F11, MTRNR1A, and FAT1, none of which can be clearly related to her phenotype, especially as her mother, from whom the deletion was inherited, is unaffected.\nEvidence for mitochondrial dysfunction began at 13 months of age with progressive muscle weakness, autonomic dysregulation, hypoglycemic episodes, exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, and decline of gastrointestinal function, eventually leading to total parenteral nutrition dependency due to visceral hyperalgesia, dysmotility, and malabsorption.\nMuscle biopsy showed a mild increase in fiber size variability but no other findings consistent with mitochondrial disease, including via electron microscopy.\nHowever, analysis of electron transport chain (ETC) activity showed normal activity of complexes I, II, and III, but complex IV, or cytochrome c oxidase, activity was 45.4 lmol/min/g weight, well below the control range (148.9 +/\u2212 67.2 lmol/min/g weight).\nRepeat ETC analysis in isolated mitochondria confirmed a profound and reproducible complex IV deficiency.\nCitrate synthase activity and content in both ETC analyses were normal, confirming good sample quality and normal mitochondrial content.\nWhole mitochondrial genome sequencing, and sequencing of DNA Polymerase Gamma 1 and 2 (POLG1 and POLG2) and Thymidine Phosphorylase did not reveal abnormalities.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "3-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 18, "end": 28 }, { "text": "girl", "label": "SEX", "start": 29, "end": 33 }, { "text": "VACTERL association",

pain started from 2 months ago.\nOn examination his vital signs were body temperature 37\u00b0C, blood pressure 80/40 mmHg, respiratory rate 24 breaths per minute, and electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation with heart rate 50 beats per minute.\nPhysical examination revealed the jugular venous distension, significant tender hepatomegaly and bilateral pitting edema at lower limbs.\nLaboratory tests showed elevated pro-NT brain natriuretic peptide of 22145 pg/ml (normal 0 to 227 pg/ml) and unremarkable D-dimer.\nX-ray and computed tomography of the chest demonstrated consolidation of bilateral lower lobes with pleural effusion, while his venous Doppler of lower extremities was normal.\nBased on his clinical condition, echocardiography was immediately inserted.\nThere were severe dilated cardiac chambers, especially enlargement of the left ventricle (LV) (58 mm/m2) with spherical shape, decreased wall thickness, impaired ejection fraction 22% and severe mitral regurgitation on two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE).\nParasternal short axis and subxyphoid view (Figure \u200b1) showed the mobile right atrial mass highly suspicious of a thrombus traversing the right atrial cavity during the cardiac cycle accompanying with free-floating small parts of the thrombi.\nReal-time three dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (RT-3DTTE) was performed to further confirm the nature of mass.\nIt showed a highly mobile thrombus, irregular in contour, measured 2.6 \u00d7 1.0 cm which floating around the orifice of inferior vena cava and protruding into the right atrial cavity (Figure \u200b2).\nIn addition, RT-3DTTE evaluated right ventricle (RV) systolic dysfunction with ejection fraction 15.7% (Figure \u200b3).\nHe was maintained on digoxin, spironolactone, furosemide, sotalol and dopamine.\nAt the same time therapeutic anticoagulation was started with low-molecular-weight heparin and warfarin.\nThe patient had an uneventful hospital course and one week follow-up echocardiography confirmed adequate removal of the thrombus (Figures 4A and \u200b4B).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "52-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man",

well-circumscribed calcification(figure \u200b1).\nSurgical intervention was suggested, but she declined.\nAbout 10 days before admission, tarry stool passage was noted, and bloody vomitus was found 1 day later.\nUGI scope revealed submucosal gastric tumor with central ulceration and she was then transferred to our hospital.\nPhysical examination showed upper abdominal tenderness with mild muscle guarding.\nThe plain radiography showed an irregular shape calcification over upper abdomen.\nUGI scope revealed deep gastric ulcer with foreign body.\nCT scan showed an irregularly shaped space-occupying lesion in front of the stomach with plate calcifications and localized free air (figures 2 and 3).\nUnder the impression of perforated gastric tumor, emergent laparotomy was performed.\nAn infiltrative mass between the stomach and transverse colon was noted during operation.\nA sharp, bone-like and thick calcified plate penetrating into the gastric mucosa and pericolic soft tissue was observed.\nA submucosal tumor about 2.3 cm in size adherent to the calcified plate was also noted (figures \u200b4 and 5).\nDistal subtotal gastrectomy and partial colectomy were performed.\nThe patient was discharged 13 days after operation uneventfully.\nMicroscopically, spindle-shaped tumor cells with low mitotic frequency (4/50 HPF) were found.\nImmunohistochemical staining of the tumor demonstrated diffusely strong positive reactivity for CD 117, positive reactivity for CD34, but negative reactivity for S100 protein and desmin.\nThe diagnosis of the tumor was established as GIST.\nDue to the small size and the paucity of mitotic figures of the tumor located in the stomach, it was classified as very low risk[4].\nSporadic GIST was impressed due to no family history of GIST nor other GIST presented in this patient.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "81-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 3, "end": 14 }, { "text": "female", "label": "SEX", "start": 15, "end": 21

history was unremarkable, however a year ago and soon after her third child delivery, she had been admitted in another hospital for acute pulmonary oedema after labor.\nCor triatriatum with obstructive behavior causing pulmonary hypertension had bee diagnosed, while the left ventricle was structurally and functionally intact.\nThe patient at that time denied surgey and had been discharged on medical therapy.\nAt present admission the patient presented with NYHA functional class III, symptoms of heart failure and palpittions as a result of persistent atrial flutter.\nOn physical examination a loud pulmonary component of the 2nd heart sound and a diastolic murmur was heard in the mitral area.\nSigns of right-sided heart failure were absent.\nA transthoracic echocardiography revealed a moderately dilated left ventricle (LV), globally hypokinetic, with severely impaired systolic function (EF estimated \u226530%).\nLeft atrium (LA) was dilated, with a mobile, membrane-like echogenic structure into it.\nTransesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) documented a fibromuscular membrane across the LA, dividing it into two compartments, a proximal one receiving the pulmonary venous flow and a distal one containing the left atrial appendage (LAA).\nThe two chambers communicated via a non-restrictive orifice, but the membrane prolapsed towards the mitral valve inflow causing severe obstruction.\nMitral valve appeared normal, with mild regurgitation.\nPatent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial septal defect (ASD) and anomalous venous connections were ruled out and the diagnosis of cor triatriatum was reconfirmed.\nMagnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) of the heart also revealed the fibromuscular septum into the left atrium and the low left ventricular ejection fraction [(LVEF) 30%, cardiac index 1,6 L/min/m2, cardiac output 2,7 L/min] (figure \u200b1).\nCoronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries.\nWith these findings the patient was scheduled for surgery.\nAnesthetic induction was achieved with standard technique including administration of sodium pentothal, sevofluorane, fentanyl and muscle relaxant.\nInvasive monitoring included the use of right radial arterial lines, a pulmonary artery catheter and a foley catheter with temperature probe to measure bladder temperature as an indicator of core body temperature.\nTransesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was also instituted.\nSurgery was performed through a median sternotomy.\nConnection to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was achieved by standard ascending aorta and bicaval cannulation.\nMildly hypothermic (32\u00b0C) CPB was established.\nCold blood cardioplegia was administered in an antegrade fashion through the aortic root after clamping the aorta.\nThe interatrial groove was developed and the common pulmonary venous chamber of the left atrium was opened through a vertical incision anterior to the right pulmonary veins, exactly as for mitral valve surgery.\nAfter insertion of a self-retaining retractor to facilitate exposure, the diaphragm was exposed and the central hole in it was identified.\nA preliminary incision out from the hole improved exposure for the definitive excision.\nOrifices of the pulmonary veins on both sides were located.\nPosition of the atrial septum was also identified by a small opening in the right atrium and by inserting a curved clamp to displace the septum into the common pulmonary venous chamber of the left atrium.\nThere was no atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale.\nThe diaphragm was then easily completely excised exposing the mitral valve (figure \u200b2).\nThe left atrial appendage was closed from inside the left atrium using a running 3-0 polypropylene suture to prevent future thrombus formation.\nThe atriotomy incisions were closed, the heart having been filled with blood before the last few sutures were placed.\nThe patient was rewarmed, the aortic cross-clamp was removed and additional de-airing was carried out in the usual manner.\nCPB was terminated with minimal inotropic support, involving milrinone and levophed with good hemodynamics.\nThe postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was extubated after 12 hours and discharged from the hospital on the fifth postoperative day.\nAt 3 months follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic (NYHA class I), in sinus rhythm.\nTTE and MRI revealed a mildly dilated LV with great improvement in systolic function and an estimated LVEF of 50%.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "33 - year old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

"full_text": "In February 2010, a 77-year-old man with a history of stroke and peripheral vascular disease presented at our emergency department in florid pulmonary edema.\nHe had a 6-month history of worsening dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and leg edema.\nUpon physical examination, he had diffuse rales and a murmur of aortic stenosis.\nA 2-dimensional Doppler transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severe aortic valve stenosis with a peak gradient of 70 mmHg and a mean gradient of 45 mmHg, a calculated aortic valve area of 0.7 cm2, severe mitral regurgitation, and a severely dilated left ventricle (LV) with an ejection fraction of 0.20.\nAfter the pulmonary edema had resolved, cardiac catheterization confirmed the echocardiographic findings and showed nonobstructive coronary artery disease.\nGiven these findings and the patient's comorbidities, we decided on a minimally invasive surgical approach.\nThe patient was placed in the supine position and underwent anesthetic induction and intubation with a single-lumen endotracheal tube and a bronchial blocker.\nIntraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) confirmed the previous findings, also showing that the mitral valve leaflets were free of significant disease and that the mitral regurgitation originated in the A2\u2013P2 portion of the mitral valve (Fig.1).\nThe mitral regurgitation was thought to be functional, caused by mitral annular dilation and tethering of the papillary muscles by the severely dilated LV.\nWe decided to perform edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve from a transaortic approach.\nA femoral platform was used to establish cardiopulmonary bypass.\nA 2- to 3-cm incision was made in the left inguinal crease.\nA 5\u20130 Prolene purse-string suture (Ethicon Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company; Somerville, NJ) was placed in the femoral artery and vein.\nThe left femoral artery was cannulated with a 16F\u201318F arterial cannula.\nThe left femoral vein was cannulated with a 25F Bio-Medicus\u00ae femoral venous cannula (Medtronic, Inc.; Minneapolis, Minn), which was placed in the superior vena cava with the aid of TEE.\nWe then made a 4- to 5-cm transverse parasternal incision over the 3rd intercostal space and transected the 4th costochondral cartilage to enable adequate exposure of the aorta.\nThis interspace was chosen in the event that the left atrium needed to be entered.\nThe pericardium was opened above the phrenic nerve and over the aorta to facilitate exposure.\nA retrograde coronary sinus catheter was inserted directly through the incision, and a purse-string suture was placed in the right atrium.\nA LV vent was inserted via a purse-string suture in the right superior pulmonary vein.\nA transverse aortotomy was performed to expose the aortic valve, which was removed under direct vision.\nThe A2 and P2 segments of the mitral valve were identified, and an edge-to-edge repair was carried out with a 5\u20130 Prolene mattress suture that was reinforced with pericardial pledgets on the ventricular side of the mitral valve (Fig.2).\nNext, a 27-mm Hancock\u00ae II bioprosthetic aortic valve (Medtronic) was implanted by use of standard techniques.\nThe aortotomy was closed in 2-layer fashion, and the patient was weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass.\nThe transected rib was reattached to the sternum with a 1-cm metal plate (Synthes, Inc.; West Chester, Pa), and a fiber wire was placed in figure-8 fashion.\nA single chest tube was left in the pleural space.\nThe thoracotomy was closed in routine fashion.\nPostoperative TEE showed no mitral regurgitation (Fig.3); \u201celbowing\u201d of the anterior leaflet during mid-diastole due to tethering of the anterior leaflet to the posterior leaflet (Fig.4); and the double-orifice mitral valve that resulted from the edge-to-edge repair (Fig.5).\nAfter surgery, the patient did well.\nHis shortness of breath

department of our hospital for a one-month history of progressive dysphagia for solids, which was not associated with malnutrition or significant weight loss.\nThe patient had recently undergone esophagogastroduodenoscopy in another hospital, which revealed a bleeding, ulcerative lesion in the middle third of the esophagus, but no biopsy had been collected.\nThe medical past history included COPD diagnosed in 1999 and a myocardial infarction in 2002.\nThe patient had smoked approximately 25 cigarettes per day for several years.\nPhysical examination was unremarkable.\nComputed tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen revealed stenosis involving a 5-cm segment of the middle third of the esophagus with no other lesions in the thoracic or abdominal organs.\nBarium studies disclosed a swelling in the esophageal wall 7 cm above the cardia with an ulcerative pattern, which reduced the diameter of the lumen to 5 mm.\nAn endoscopic biopsy of the oesophageal mass demonstrated poorly differentiated (G3) squamous cell carcinoma.\nMid-distal esophagectomy was performed with oesophagogastric anastomosis and gastric tube reconstruction.\nPathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the biopsy diagnosis of poorly differentiated (G3) SCC.\nThe tumor, which measured 3 cm of length, had infiltrated the oesophageal wall and the surrounding paraesophageal fat.\nSurgical margins were tumor-free, as the seven perigastric limph-nodes dissected (pT3 N0).\nThe postoperative period was quite unremarkable, and a contrast enhanced x-ray obtained on the 9th POD showed normal esophageal and gastric transit.\nOn the 14th POD, the patient was discharged with an oncology referral for routine medical follow-up.\nNine months after the operation, CT and esophagogastroduodenoscopy were repeated.\nThe imaging study revealed mild splenomegaly with multiple nonspecific nodules within the organ (Figure \u200b1).\nThe patient was virtually asymptomatic with the exception of a vague sensation of mild discomfort in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen.\nFNAC of the spleen revealed a pattern of numerous inflammatory cells admixed with large cells displaying immunohistochemical positivity for several cytokeratins (Figure 2).\nThe specimen was Gram stain-negative.\nA bone-marrow biopsy was negative for metastatic involvement.\nThe diagnosis was isolated metastases of the spleen with inflammatory and necrotic alterations.\nThe patient was referred to our centre for splenectomy, which was performed as a routine procedure to role out, also, a spontaneous rupture of the spleen.\nOn 12th December 2007, the patient had transabdominal total splenectomy with splenic and celiac artery lymph node dissection.\nThe postoperative course was uneventful.\nOn the 7th postoperative day, Doppler ultrasonography revealed portal-tree patency with no signs of thrombosis.\nTen days later, the patient was discharged with a stable platelet count (780,000/mm3), Hb 10.9 g/dL, and a WBC count of 16,500/mm3.\nPathological examination of the spleen described multiple nodules containing medium to large-sized cells, some of which were keratinized.\nThe nodules were mostly solid with areas of central necrosis (Figure \u200b3).\nThe findings were consistent with metastases of SCC.\nThereafter, the patient was referred to the oncology department of our hospital, where he received two 3-day cycles (separated by a 3-week interval) of systemic chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil (800 mg/day IV) and cisplatin (20 mg/day).\nThree months after the splenectomy, multiple liver metastases were seen on the CT scan, and cutaneous metastases were also present.\nThe patient died 9 months later.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

marked expressive aphasia, word-finding difficulty, and rare paraphrasic errors.\nExamination demonstrated right central facial weakness, 2\u20133/5 strength in the right arm and leg, and dysmetria in the right upper and lower extremities.\nReflexes were hyperactive on the right with a right-sided Babinski response.\nMRI of the brain showed multiple bilateral concentric ring-like structures in the centrum semiovale and the corona radiata on T2 imaging (figure,A), consistent with the pattern of Balo concentric sclerosis.\nThere was associated restricted diffusion in 3 lesions and incomplete ring enhancement in 1 lesion.\nCSF analysis showed 30 leukocytes (79% lymphocytes, 4% monocytes), erythrocyte count was 850, and oligoclonal bands were absent.\nHe was treated with 1 g of IV methylprednisolone daily for 5 days, with little improvement.\nHe then underwent 5 plasmapheresis exchanges, with significant improvement of motor, sensory, speech deficits, and gait.\nForty-five days after discharge, his examination showed 4+/5 strength in the right intrinsic muscles of the hand and a right-sided positional tremor.\nGait and tandem gait were normal.\nHe was placed on \u03b2-interferon-1a 44 \u03bcg subcutaneously 3 times a week, for treatment of presumed clinically isolated syndrome, with good response.\nOne year later, his neurologic examination was essentially normal.\nThere was no family history of demyelinating or autoimmune disorders.\nHis mother has a significant history of headaches and early-onset strokes, and was found to be a carrier of the Notch3 mutation consistent with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).\nHis sister had a stroke in her 30s, and a history of migraine headaches, but has not undergone medical evaluation.\nTesting for CADASIL in the patient showed the Notch3 mutation associated with CADASIL (transition C>T, nucleotide position 1750, codon 558).\nSkin biopsy showed electron-dense extracellular material in close apposition to the smooth muscle of the vascular media1 (figure, B).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "26-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end":

visualize proper positioning of the guidewire and cannula.\nUsing the Seldinger technique, the right internal jugular vein was accessed and a guide wire was placed.\nPlacement of the guidewire into the IVC proved difficult due to repeated migration of the guidewire into the right ventricle.\nAfter multiple attempts, the guidewire was visualized to course properly from the SVC to the IVC.\nAfter a bolus dose of 5000 units of intravenous heparin was given, the right internal jugular venous access site was dilated.\nJust as the final dilatation was completed and upon dilator exchange with simultaneous advancement of the 23 French Avalon cannula, TEE lost visualization of the guidewire.\nMultiple premature ventricular beats were noted and immediately, a new, rapidly enlarging pericardial effusion was detected (Figure \u200b(Figure2).2).\nEmergent preparations were made for bedside surgical decompression of the pericardial space.\nQuickly the patient lost blood pressure from acute cardiac tamponade.\nThe Avalon cannula was immediately clamped at the end but not removed.\nA emergent subxiphoid pericardial window was performed, resulting in drainage of venous blood and restoration of blood pressure.\nTransfusion was initiated and the patient was emergently transported to the operating room for surgical exploration.\nThe Avalon cannula was found to have perforated the apex of the right ventricle.\nThe injury was repaired primarily and the Avalon cannula was repositioned toward the IVC again by TEE with additional direct manipulation.\nVV-ECMO was initiated and the oxygenation improved.\nDue to excessive coagulopathies, the sternum was left open but was closed on postoperative day 2.\nFrom that point, she remained free from any cardiac or infectious complications and her pulmonary condition slowly improved.\nShe was successfully weaned from VV-ECMO on postoperative day 9 and was discharged home on postoperative day 24 without the need for home oxygen.\nShe regained full physical functions at home and recovered normal pulmonary function by 3 months following discharge from the hospital.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "53 year old", "label":

sarcoma, including right nephrectomy and cholecystectomy, in 2002.\nPathologic evaluation demonstrated a 25\u2009cm high-grade liposarcoma with different histologic components, including myxoid, round cell, well-differentiated, sclerosing and pleomorphic patterns.\nSurgical margins were negative as the tumor did not invade the kidney, and since the renal vein and ureter were free of tumor as well.\nThe patient did not undergo any additional therapy.\nSurveillance magnetic resonance imaging in 2007 revealed an isolated tumor recurrence in the retroperitoneum.\nAn exploratory celiotomy revealed tumor involvement of the duodenum, head of the pancreas, superior mesenteric vein, vena cava and left renal vein with severe adhesive changes, leading to the intraoperative assessment of unresectable disease.\nSubsequently, the patient underwent stereotactic body radiation to the retroperitoneal tumor in five fractions for a total dose of 30\u2009Gy, without complication.\nPostradiation imaging revealed near complete resolution of the retroperitoneal mass.\nOne year later, the patient presented with weight loss, postprandial abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.\nCross-sectional imaging revealed a 7\u2009cm mass with involvement of the third portion of the duodenum (Figure \u200b1).\nHowever, there was no obvious involvement of the pancreatic head or the other structures that were noted to be involved during the previous laparotomy.\nWe elected to perform another resection attempt, including a possible pancreatoduodenectomy or retroperitoneal vascular resection if necessary.\nAt exploration, the residual tumor was an entirely intraduodenal, pedunculated mass at the posterior duodenal wall distal to the ampulla that filled the entire duodenal lumen.\nThe patient underwent a duodenotomy and stalk transection of the polypoid mass, followed by partial duodenal resection with hand-sewn duodenojejunal anastomosis (Figure 2).\nSurgical pathology examination revealed a 9.5\u2009cm recurrent high-grade liposarcoma with polypoid intraluminal growth containing myxoid, round cell, well-differentiated, sclerosing and focally pleomorphic areas.\nSurgical margins were negative as the tumor came within 0.1\u2009cm of the stalk margin and there was no evidence of additional neoplastic components within the remaining resected duodenum.\nThe postoperative course was uncomplicated, and the patient has demonstrated no recurrence up to 30\u2009months from this resection.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "60-year-old", "label":

the department it was noted that his heart rate ranged between 50 and 60 beats per min, he was otherwise haemo-dynamically stable with a normal blood pressure and oxygen saturations in air.\nHe had a short systolic murmur grade 2/6 at the left sternal border.\nHe had no clinical evidence of myocarditis or heart failure.\nHe had extensive generalised petechiae and purpuric rash (figure 1) secondary to acute thrombocytopenia presumed to be due to varicella infection.\nApparently he was healthy prior to this admission.\nThere was no history of maternal lupus.\nAn ECG was performed which showed complete heart block (figure 2).\nHe was admitted to the high dependency unit for close overnight monitoring.\nThe presumed diagnosis was complete heart block secondary to varicella infection.1 2 The initial investigation showed normal electrolytes, calcium, phosphate, glucose and magnesium levels.\nThe full blood count showed a normal haemoglobin and white cell count.\nBut the platelet count was low that is, 13\u00d7109/l.\nThe platelet count normalised within 10 days without any intervention.\nThe antinuclear antibody titres and the autoimmune screen were negative.\nMaternal autoimmune screen was negative.\nThe echocardiogram showed a structurally normal heart and follow-up 24 h tape showed persistence of complete heart block.\nFollowing these investigations a diagnosis of congenital complete heart block was made.\nOn follow-up after 6 months his heart rate remains between 50 and 60 beats per min, but he remains asymptomatic without any intervention.\nThe need for a pacemaker is being considered on follow-up.\nThe incidental finding of complete heart block was congenital in aetiology with no association with varicella infection or acute thrombocytopenia.\nThis

progressive shortness of breath and a gradual decrease in exercise capacity secondary to mild dyspnea.\nShe reported no additional symptoms.\nAt age 40, she had been diagnosed with a stage IIA, T1bN1, left-sided breast cancer.\nInitial treatment had included a lumpectomy and axillary node dissection.\nShe subsequently underwent 4 cycles of DOX therapy (75 mg/m2), followed by 8 cycles of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil.\nMultigated acquisition scans before and after chemotherapy showed normal cardiac function.\nAfter chemotherapy, she underwent left whole-breast radiation with an axillary boost.\nBecause the tumor had been estrogen receptor-positive, her subsequent medical regimen consisted only of anti-estrogen therapy.\nShe took tamoxifen for 5 years, and, ever since, the aromatase inhibitor letrozole.\nIn the 17 years after chemotherapy, she had been active and in relatively good health.\nIn addition to her other symptoms, she now presented with tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypertension.\nShe had marked jugular venous distention, an S3, pulmonary rales, and trace peripheral edema.\nInitial laboratory values were within normal limits except for an elevated level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (>2,000 pg/mL).\nResults of investigation into the new-onset cardiomyopathy included normal cardiac enzyme levels, an electrocardiogram (ECG) that revealed no ischemic changes, and a coronary angiogram of normal appearance.\nThe ECG showed sinus tachycardia with frequent premature ventricular complexes, left-axis deviation, left atrial enlargement, and low-voltage QRS complexes with nonspecific ST changes (Fig.1).\nA 2-dimensional echocardiogram revealed a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 0.20, severe diffuse left ventricular (LV) hypokinesis, and a mildly dilated left atrium.\nTo better define the cause of the LV systolic dysfunction, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed.\nIt confirmed the LVEF of 0.20.\nThe T2-weighted sequence showed slow flow secondary to LV dysfunction, and no myocardial edema (Fig.2A).\nLate gadolinium enhancement disclosed diffuse myocardial thinning and no scarring (Fig.2B).\nThe patient was treated medically.\nHer symptoms progressively improved during therapy, which consisted of a \u03b2-blocker, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, digoxin, and a diuretic.\nThe therapy was slowly tapered, and her LVEF increased from 0.20 to 0.55 during an 8-month period.\nAll medications except for low-dose metoprolol were discontinued after 1 year, and she remained asymptomatic.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "January 2009", "label": "DATE", "start": 3, "end": 15 }, { "text": "57-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 19, "end": 30 }, { "text": "woman",

extremities, and exercise intolerance.\nAudiometric investigations revealed a mild bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment.\nAt 15 years of age, he had an unprovoked epileptic seizure and he has since then been treated with levetiracetam.\nDecreased renal function was identified at 15 years of age, with increased serum creatinine to 145\u2009\u03bcmol/l (reference interval 30\u201390\u2009\u03bcmol/l), proteinuria with urine albumine at 244\u2013538\u2009mg/l (reference interval<20\u2009mg/l), and urine albumine/creatinine ratio at 44\u201359\u2009g/mol (reference interval <3\u2009g/mol).\nA renal scintigraphy demonstrated reduced kidney size.\nCr51-EDTA clearance showed a decreased glomerular filtration rate of 42% of normal.\nThe filtration rate decreased over time to 29% of normal at 16 years of age.\nSince 14 years of age, cardiac investigations have demonstrated hypertrophy of the walls of the left ventricle (+3 SD compared with normal) with normal systolic and diastolic function and without obstruction of the outflow.\nMitochondrial investigations were performed at 14 years of age.\nBlood levels of lactate and pyruvate were 1.6 and 0.096\u2009mmol/l, respectively, leading to a ratio of 33 (reference interval <20), while cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of lactate and pyruvate were 3.6 and 0.137\u2009mmol/l, respectively, leading to a lactate to pyruvate ratio of 26.\nThe urinary lactate excretion was normal.\nThe CSF albumin was increased to 258\u2009mg/l (reference level <225\u2009mg/l) and he also had an increased CSF/plasma albumin ratio of 7.4 (reference level <5).\nThe serum acyl carnitine profile and muscle carnitine levels were normal.\nThe serum creatine kinase activity was mildly increased to 5.4\u2009\u03bckat/l (reference interval <3.5\u2009\u03bckat/l).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "16-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 5, "end": 16 }, { "text": "boy", "label": "SEX", "start": 17,

lisinopril hydrate, pimobendan, warfarin potassium, carvedilol, metildigoxin and amiodarone hydrochloride).\nHis height was 161 cm and body weight was 83 kg.\nBlood pressure was 110/60 mm Hg.\nThe fasting blood glucose was 107 mg/dl and HbA1c was 6.3%.\nThe chest x-ray showed cardiomegaly with a cardiothoracic ratio of 0.67 (figure 1A).\nECG, as shown in video 1, revealed a diffused hypokinetic left ventricle with markedly dilated left ventricle dimension (end-diastole: 95 mm) and reduced EF (0.11).\nThe coronary angiogram was normal.\nA myocardial biopsy revealed that over 50% of cardiomyocytes were replaced by fibrosis (figure 2).\nAn implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted.\nDue to the typical facial appearance and thickening of hands, he was referred to the endocrinology department.\nThe plasma level of GH was 8.2 ng/ml and IGF-1 was 504 ng/ml.\nMRI demonstrated a macroadenoma in the pituitary.\nThus, he was diagnosed as acromegaly.\nHe was treated with octreotide long-acting-release (LAR) for 8 months.\nThereafter, he underwent trans-sphenoidal surgery in January 2009 (figure 3).\nThe plasma levels of GH and IGF-1 were decreased with octreotide LAR, but basal plasma levels of GH were always more than 4 ng/ml and plasma IGF-1 levels were above the appropriate age range (figure 3).\nAfter surgery, both plasma levels of GH and IGF-1 further decreased.\nBasal plasma levels of GH were mostly less than 0.5 ng/ml and IGF-1 levels were within normal ranges (figure 3).\nWith the treatment of LAR, the cardiac function improved partially (cardiothoracic ratio=0.58; EF=0.20 in September 2008).\nAfter surgery, the cardiac function improved drastically (cardiothoracic ratio=0.47; EF=0.55 in April 2009; figures 1B and \u200band2B).2B).\nFrequency of ventricular arrhythmias decreased and pimobendan was tapered off.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "51-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man",

chest pain and hypertension.\nShe was found to have a urinary tract infection and was sent home with an antibiotic and thiazide diuretic.\nTwo days later, she returned with epigastric pain, nausea, emesis and myalgias.\nThe patient had no significant medical history and denied cardio-respiratory symptoms; however, she complained of a low exercise tolerance for the last year.\nThere was no family history of cardiac or pulmonary disease or of sudden cardiac death.\nShe was born in the USA and had neither travelled recently nor had any sick contacts.\nOn examination, she was hypertensive (170/105\u2005mm\u2005Hg), tachycardic (125\u2005bpm), had dry mucous membranes and appeared ill looking.\nShe was found to have an elevated serum creatinine of 160\u2005\u03bcmol/l (normal 60\u2013110\u2005\u03bcmol/l).\nAfter receiving 1.5\u2005l of intravenous fluids for presumed volume depletion and prerenal azotaemia she became short of breath.\nCrackles were noted on auscultation of her chest and a portable chest film demonstrated hazy infiltrates that likely represented pulmonary oedema.\nShe then developed hypotension with systolic pressures in the 90s.\nNon-invasive positive pressure ventilation was initiated.\nAn ECG demonstrated sinus tachycardia with a rate of 130\u2005bpm and minimal ST depression on the precordial leads.\nIn consultation with a cardiologist, the patient received 40\u2005mg of intravenous furosemide.\nAn echocardiogram demonstrated global hypokinesis with a left-ventricular ejection fraction <10% (see figure 1).\nThe patient was transferred to the intensive care unit where she became more anxious and tachycardic to 170\u2005bpm.\nShe was intubated and sedated.\nDespite the placement of a Foley catheter and administration of intravenous loop diuretics, she remained anuric for the first 12\u2005h of hospitalisation.\nShe developed signs of acute kidney injury with a creatinine that increased to 350\u2005\u03bcmol/l within the first 24\u2005h of hospitalisation.\nShe received norepinephrine and milrinone to improve cardiac output.\nOn the second day of hospitalisation, she was evaluated by a cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeon for emergent circulatory support as she had developed signs of poor tissue perfusion with a lactic acidosis (8.4\u2005mmol/l; normal <2.2\u2005mmol/l) and transaminitis with aspartate aminotransferase/alanine transaminase >150\u2005IU/l (normal <40\u2005U/l).\nShe was taken to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory for emergent right heart catheterisation and biopsy to exclude acute myocarditis.\nOver the next few days, she was gently fluid resuscitated (guided by bioreactance non-invasive cardiac output), the pressors were gradually weaned off and she became non-oliguric.\nShe slowly regained renal function and organ perfusion improved with resolution of the lactic acidosis and a decrease in liver transaminases.\nOn hospital day 5 she was transferred to the medical ward and was eventually discharged home on non-selective \u03b2 blockade, an ACE inhibitor and nitrate with planned follow-up at the heart-failure clinic.\nThe patient returned to the ED 4\u2005days later with an elevated blood pressure, nausea and abdominal pain.\nA contrast scan of her abdomen revealed pancreatitis and an adrenal mass.\nDuring her treatment for pancreatitis she began to have paroxysms of headaches, nausea, emesis and abdominal pain with corresponding hypertension to the 220s systolic and tachycardia to 120s with a baseline systolic pressure of 90\u2013110\u2005mm\u2005Hg (see figure 2).\nHer urinary and plasma catecholamines were elevated and confirmed on repeat testing.\nShe was given aggressive fluid rehydration and \u03b1 and \u03b2 blockade for a planned adrenalectomy.\nPrior to surgery her left-ventricular ejection fraction had improved to 55% on medical management (see figure 1).\nPathology of her adrenal gland was consistent with a non-malignant pheochromocytoma (see figure 3).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "26-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 19 }, {

pressure (150/100 mmHg).\nAfter receiving antihypertensive treatment blood pressure was 120/80.\nAll laboratory variables, including plasma proteins, were within their respective reference intervals.\nFew hours after admission to the hospital the contractions started, and the caesarean section was performed because of vertex-transverse presentation of twins.\nLiveborn female and male were delivered.\nThe postoperative course was initially inconspicuous.\nFour hours postpartum she experienced sudden epigastric pain.\nThe blood pressure rose to 190/130.\nLaboratory findings showed haemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and an increase in serum creatinine and aminotransferases (Table I).\nIntravenous magnesium sulphate was administered.\nAbdominal ultrasound disclosed an empty uterine cavity without placenta residue.\nFive hours postpartum, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit because of poor urine output, drowsiness, and suspicion of DIC.\nOn examination she was sleepy and disoriented.\nThe combination of haemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and elevated liver enzymes suggested a postpartum HELLP syndrome, complicated by DIC.\nThe patient was rehydrated, and treatment was instituted with fresh frozen plasma, red cell transfusion, fresh platelets, and kybernin P (antithrombin III).\nHigh serum urea, creatinine, and persistent anuria were compatible with acute renal failure.\nA high dose of furosemide failed to increase diuresis.\nSixteen hours postpartum her blood pressure was 60/40 and oxygen saturation 70%.\nFew minutes later the patient had acute cardiac arrest, and resuscitation started.\nResuscitation was successful, and normal heart action was re-established; blood pressure rose to 150/110, and oxygen saturation was 90%.\nLaboratory findings were deteriorated, and development of acute renal failure indicated the necessity of urgent dialysis.\nFollowing dialysis, the patient was stable, oxygen saturation 98%.\nTwenty hours postpartum patient developed again cardiopulmonary arrest.\nDespite resuscitation attempts the outcome was lethal.\nDue to the fact that death occurred in the hospital a short time after a surgical intervention, a medico-legal autopsy was ordered.\nAn autopsy revealed oedema of the brain and lungs as well as dilatation of right and left ventricles.\nHydrothorax (900 mL), hydroperitoneum (2500 mL), and hydropericardium (200 mL) were present.\nThe field of operation of the caesarean section was unremarkable.\nPetechial and suffusional haemorrhages were observed under the pleura, endocardium, in the mucosae of the renal pelvis, and peritoneum of the small and large bowel.\nHistology revealed periportal hepatocellular necrosis, bloodless glomeruli with swollen and vacuolated intracapillary cells, as well as confluent haemorrhages in kidneys, liver, and spleen.\nDeath was attributed to multiple organ failure due to DIC as a consequence of HELLP syndrome.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

from an external hospital because of severe abdominal pain of unclear aetiology.\nThe patient suffered from Friedreich's ataxia.1 2 His most recent transthoracic echocardiography, performed on the day of admission, showed a dilated cardiomyopathy, impaired left ventricular function with an ejection fraction of 30% and a pulmonary artery pressure of 55\u2005mm\u2005Hg; all findings were unchanged from previous examinations.\nAt that time, he lived alone in a residential home and was mobile using a wheelchair.\nOn arrival at our emergency department, the patient was somnolent and disoriented.\nHis axillary body temperature was 35.7\u2005\u00b0C and his arterial blood pressure 125/89\u2005mm\u2005Hg, with a pulse rate of 84 rhythmic beats/min.\nHe complained of an increasing, diffuse abdominal pain during the whole day, combined with absence of appetite and vomiting on a single occasion.\nHis daily medication was perindopril 2.5\u2005mg, torasemide 7.5\u2005mg and esomeprazole 40\u2005mg.\nOn physical examination, we found a tender abdomen with painful epigastric palpation.\nNormal bowel sounds were auscultated in the upper right and lower left quadrants.\nThe renal bed was free of pain on palpation.\nOn cardiac auscultation, a 2/6 systolic murmur was audible.\nLung auscultation showed normal respiration.\nLaboratory findings were slightly elevated C reactive protein (CRP) of 16\u2005mg/l (normal: <5\u2005mg/l), elevated troponin-T-hs of 0.070\u2005\u00b5g/l (normal: <0.014\u2005\u00b5g/l) and highly elevated pro-B-type natriuretic peptide of 7382\u2005pg/ml (normal: <63\u2005pg/ml).\nKidney function parameters were in the upper normal range, with creatinine of 100 \u00b5mol/l and a calculated glomerular filtration rate of 73\u2005ml/min.\nBlood count revealed leucocytosis of 15.6\u00d7109/litre.\nRegarding thyroid function, thyroid-stimulating hormone, f-T3 and f-T4 were in the reference range.\nUrine analysis showed no pathology.\nIn abdominal sonography, all organs were normal, especially the kidneys.\nNo free fluid was detected (figure 1).\nAs the severe pain persisted all night, despite analgesia with paracetamol 1\u2005g, metamizole 1\u2005g and pethidine 75\u2005\u00b5g, a contrast-enhanced abdominal CT was performed revealing infarction of the right kidney, which appeared as a hypodense area although kidney arteries and veins were assessed as open (figures 2 and \u200b3).\nCardiac dysfunction is the most frequent cause of death in patients affected by Friedreich's ataxia, most commonly from congestive heart failure or arrhythmia.\nRenal artery embolism is not a rare event in these patients.\nHowever, other non-abdominal viscous causes of severe diffuse abdominal pain such as porphyria, familial Mediterranean fever, diabetic ketoacidosis, tocopherol deficiency also had to be excluded.\nThe negative cardiolipin test excluded tabetic crises.\nNo evidence for pre-existing porphyria was encountered for example, quantitative determination of \u03b4-aminolevulinic acid, porphobilinogen and porphyrin in 24-h urine was negative.\nFurther genetic diagnosis regarding, for example, clotting disorder, was also not conclusive.\nHypovitaminosis was not present.\nThe patient had no endocrinopathies, for example, no diabetes and no evidence for hypothyreosis or hyperthyreosis.\nThe patient was hospitalised without delay at the department of nephrology.\nImmediate anticoagulation with heparin was initiated and later replaced by lifelong oral anticoagulation with phenprocoumon.\nDuring 11\u2005days of hospitalisation, no complications occurred.\nKidney function parameters remained normal.\nTransoesophageal echocardiography on the fifth day showed no cardiac thrombus and no patent foramen ovale.\nDeep vein thrombosis was excluded with duplex sonography.\nAnticardiolipin antibody testing and genetic testing regarding clotting disorders were both negative.\nUrine tests revealed no evidence of porphyria.\nDuring hospitalisation the patient remained stable regarding cardiological function, while diuretics were adjusted according to the fluid balance.\nThe patient had already been treated with levofloxacin for pneumonic infection prior to hospitalisation.\nThe antibiotic treatment was continued because of increasing inflammatory parameters in the further course of disease.\nA CRP increase of up to 200\u2005mg/l was interpreted as an inflammatory response to renal infarction.\nBy discharge, laboratory parameters were significantly decreased.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "37-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Caucasian", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start": 14, "end": 23 }, { "text": "man",

45-year-old lady sought dermatology consultation for severely tender erythematous vesicles and bullae over back, chest and arms.\nThese were sudden in onset associated with fever, nausea and malaise.\nAlong with this she also complained of pain in upper abdomen.\nThere was no history of receiving any drugs prior to the onset of lesions.\nShe did not report any significant weight loss or loss of appetite.\nOn physical examination, her temperature was 38\u00b0C, pulse rate was 100/min and blood pressure was 126/72\u2005mm\u2005Hg.\nThere were multiple coalescing vesicles and bullae over upper back, chest and arms distributed symmetrically showing areas of pustulation and necrosis.\nSurrounding them were multiple pseudovesicular satellite papule (figure 1A,B).\nOn per abdominal examination mild tenderness was present in the right hypochondrium.\nPatient's initial laboratory investigations showed a total leucocyte count of 12\u2005000 cells/mm3 with 75% neutrophils.\nThe haemoglobin level was 14.3\u2005gm% and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 30\u2005mm/h.\nLiver function test, kidney function test and C reactive protein levels were within normal limits.\nGram stain from purulent exudates showed only neutrophils without any organisms and culture did not show any growth after 72\u2005h of incubation.\nA lesional skin biopsy taken from the satellite papule showed neutrophilic infiltration in dermis with papillary dermal oedema and spongiosis (figure 2A,B).\nAbdominal ultrasonography revealed intraluminal gall bladder mass suggestive of malignancy.\nOn the basis of these findings a final diagnosis of SS associated with gall bladder malignancy was made.\nShe was started on oral prednisolone in dose of 40\u2005mg daily along with symptomatic treatment.\nHer cutaneous lesions responded dramatically and subsided completely after 1\u2005week of treatment (figure 3A,B).\nDose of prednisolone was tapered and an open cholecystectomy was performed.\nHistopathology of excised tissue confirmed it to be well-differentiated gall bladder adenocarcinoma forming glands and papillae infiltrating the muscularis propria superficially.\nCystic duct cut margins were free of tumour (figure 2C,D).\nPatient's postoperative period was uneventful and she was discharged on tapering doses of prednisolone with advice to follow-up periodically.\n",

diffuse eczematous rash, and uveitis), histologic evidence of noncaseating granulomas, and a heterozygous NOD2 mutation (p.R334W).\nOcular involvement was initially controlled by topical and oral corticosteroids, but over the years visual impairment progressed.\nOther manifestations of Blau syndrome (arthritis and rash) subsided over time.\nBilateral panuveitis progressed after age 5 years, and was initially treated with methotrexate.\nHowever, ocular inflammation persisted despite the addition of local steroid injections and repeated intravenous (IV) bolus methylprednisolone treatment; therefore, when the patient was age 10 years, infliximab (initially at 5 mg/kg increased to 10 mg/kg IV every 4 to 6 weeks) was initiated.\nAlthough there was an initial improvement, 1 year after this treatment was started uveitis worsened, and at age 12 years infliximab was discontinued.\nAdalimumab (24 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) was then initiated and the dosage of methotrexate (15 mg/m2/weekly) was increased.\nHowever, ocular disease remained active.\nMycophenolate mofetil (750 mg/m2) and then abatacept (10 mg/kg/month IV) were sequentially administered, without significant improvement.\nAt age 16 years the patient still had granulomatous retinal lesions and anterior chamber inflammation, and macular edema developed, which led to retinal detachment.\nIn addition to the other steroid therapy, corticosteroid pulse therapy was necessary to control disease flares, with an average of 3 boluses/month for 6 consecutive months.\nBecause of the supposed autoinflammatory nature of Blau syndrome, we initiated a trial of IL-1 antibody administration (2 mg/kg/month of canakinumab).\nDuring the 6 months that followed, no ocular flare occurred and no steroid pulse therapy was necessary.\nConcomitant treatment with oral methotrexate and low-dose prednisone (0.2 mg/kg/day) remained unchanged.\nFigure 1 shows fluorangiograms before treatment and after the first 6 injections.\nThe drug was well tolerated with no side effects, and findings on laboratory tests (performed monthly) were normal.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "4-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 15, "end": 25 }, { "text": "boy",

nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs); these had developed over the past 16 years coinciding with the initiation of a prolonged course of the thiopurine 6-mercaptopurine (mercaptopurine, 6-MP).\nHe was diagnosed with a total of 84 NMSC: 72 NMSC at our clinic, 12 from other clinics.\nHe was also awaiting biopsy and removal for additional lesions.\nHis CD was initially treated with sulfasalazine and intermittent steroids at diagnosis, but for the past 20 years he had been taking 6-MP daily.\nIn the first ten years after beginning 6-MP he developed 30 NMSC; 14 were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 16 were basal cell carcinoma (BCC).\nThe patient was then treated elsewhere for the subsequent ten years.\nThis past year, however, he returned to the clinic with over 100 new lesions suggestive of malignancy on his torso and extremities.\nSubsequent to this exam, he had 42 biopsy-proven lesions of NMCS; 20 were SCC and 22 were BCC.\nIn addition, three of the SCCs were moderately differentiated and two were poorly differentiated and some of his larger skin cancers have necessitated Mohs surgery and xenografting.\nThe largest of his lesions was pretibial and measured 64x53 mm (Figure 1).\nHe was awaiting biopsy for many other suspicious lesions.\nThe patient had Fitzpatrick II skin type and admitted to excessive sun exposure for 25 years in Hawai\u2018i.\nEarly on he did not use sunscreen, and would sail a catamaran during peak sun hours.\nHe also revealed that his mother had one skin cancer lesion removed and denied ever having been a smoker.\nWithin the past year he discontinued 6-MP and began using mesalamine (Pentasa) and later adalimumab (Humira) hoping to attenuate the progression of NMSC, and continued to have monthly skin exams.\nOverall, he was hospitalized 16 times for his CD, but never required any intestinal resection.\nUnfortunately, in his most recent hospitalization he was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the small bowel, and passed away shortly after.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "57-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Jewish", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start": 14, "end": 20 }, {

was normal and there was not any tremulousness of upper limbs.\nAlso, there was no history of weakness or numbness.\nThe family history was significant as her elder sister had similar difficulty in walking of 7-year duration and died because of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus at an age of 20\u2005years.\nNo other members of the kin were affected and there was no history of consanguinity in the parents.\nThe cognitive function was normal and her Mini Mental Status Score was 30/30.\nVisual acuity and fundus examination were normal.\nThe extraocular movements including saccades, pursuits were normal, and no saccadic intrusions or nystagmus were noticed.\nThe tone and power were normal in all four limbs; however, there was generalised exaggeration of myotatic reflexes along with bilateral extensor plantar response.\nVibration and joint position sense were intact but Romberg's was positive.\nPatient swayed to either side while performing tandem walk.\nFasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were normal.\nHaemogram, renal, liver and thyroid function tests were normal.\nSerum vitamin B12 and folic acid levels were within normal limits.\nNerve conduction study showed absent sensory nerve action potential with normal distal latency, conduction velocity and amplitude of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) in all nerves trunks.\nMRI showed marked atrophy of the cervical cord as compared to cerebellum which was normal (figure 1).\nThe genetic testing using PCR disclosed expansion of GAA repeat in both alleles (254 and 298) of FXN gene.\nA variety of causes of autosomal recessive ataxias need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of FRDA.\nThese were systemically excluded here.\nAtaxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED) has a phenotype quite similar to FRDA, though titubation and hyperkinesia are more common in AVED.4 A strong family history of ataxia and diabetes mellitus in elder sister favoured FRDA.\nAtaxia with oculomotor apraxia (AOA) types 1 and 2 were not considered owing to lack of apraxia of ocular movements, distal amyotrophy (severe axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy), atrophy of cerebellum and involuntary movements.5 Ataxia telengiectesia has presentation very similar to AOA types 1 and 2.\nMuco-cutaneous markers, sino-pulmonary infections, hypogammaglobulinaemia and radiosensitivity along with predisposition to development of a variety of neoplasms are features of ataxia telengiectasia not seen in AOAs and FRDA.\nThe other important causes of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia apart from FRDA would be autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay and Marinesco-Sj\u00f6gren syndrome.\nCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited polyneuropathy has gait ataxia in common with FRDA; however, in this case, CMT was improbable due to following features in this case: lack of motor weakness, retained reflexes, bilaterally extensor plantar and pure sensory neuropathy on nerve conduction study.\nIdebenone was started at a dose of 450\u2005mg twice a day for its antioxidant properties.\nFor gait ataxia, physiotherapy\u2014Frenkel's exercise\u2014was initiated.\nBlood glucose is monitored regularly.\nAt 4\u2005months, there was no significant change in the gait difficulty.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "18-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 3, "end": 14 }, { "text": "lady",

without scalp tenderness or headache.\nVisual acuity (VA) was 20/20 right eye and 20/30 left eye.\nIntraocular pressures were normal.\nFunduscopic examination revealed left optic nerve edema and a small disc margin hemorrhage.\nWBC count was 12,700, ESR was 7 (normal 0\u201320 mm/hr) and CRP was 2.4 (normal 0\u20131.0 mg/dL).\nThree days later, she noted new left eye pain and her vision declined to counting fingers.\nThere was no pain on eye movement.\nThe right pupil was 4 mm and reacted to light; the left pupil was 4 mm, and there was a relative left afferent pupillary defect.\nThe left optic nerve was swollen with a few peripapillary nerve fiber layer hemorrhages along with a cherry red spot and mild macular edema consistent with central retinal artery occlusion; there were no posterior pole or peripheral retinal hemorrhages.\nTrace cells were seen in the anterior chamber, but not in the vitreous fluid.\nRepeat WBC, ESR and CRP were normal.\nTreponemal and Bartonella antibodies, the QuantiFERON-TB test, blood cultures, EKG and carotid Doppler ultrasound were unremarkable.\nBrain contrast MRI demonstrated no optic nerve enhancement.\nTwelve days later, left eye pain and vision worsened, and the patient complained of jaw claudication and scalp pain.\nVA declined to no light perception in the left eye with 1+ cells and flare in anterior chamber and 2+ vitreous cells and haze.\nFunduscopic examination revealed extensive retinal necrosis and diffuse hemorrhages with multiple areas of focal venous beading (Fig.1), consistent with acute retinal necrosis.\nVitreous fluid was examined by PCR for amplifiable HSV, VZV, CMV and toxoplasma sequences and returned positive for VZV DNA.\nShe was treated with a one-time intravitreal injection of ganciclovir 2000 mcg/0.5 ml in the left eye, oral acyclovir 800 mg 5 times daily for 14 days and oral prednisone 60 mg daily for 7 days followed by 20 mg for 7 days.\nEleven days after starting treatment, because she had recently developed jaw claudication and intermittent scalp pain, a temporal artery biopsy was performed.\nHistological examination was normal (Fig.2) while immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated VZV antigen in the arterial adventitia; evaluation of adjacent sections for HSV-1 antigen and infiltrating leukocytes (CD45, not shown) was negative (Fig.3).\nAntiviral therapy was altered to intravenous acyclovir, 10 mg/kg every 8 h for 14 days, and steroids were discontinued.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "54 year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

level was <3 \u03bcmol/L (normal range, 16\u201360 \u03bcmol/L).\nThe cardiomyopathy was attributed to carnitine deficiency.\nAfter 5 months of therapy with carnitine supplements, her total carnitine and free carnitine levels had increased to 86 \u03bcmol/L and 48 \u03bcmol/L, respectively, and her left ventricular systolic function had normalized, with fractional shortening of 34.7%.\nAt the

presentation, her total carnitine and free carnitine levels had dropped to 18 \u03bcmol/L and 17 \u03bcmol/L, respectively.\nShe underwent TTE followed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with

developmental delay on 27 October 2011.\nHe was born at full term, with a body weight of 3.2 kg.\nSixteen days after birth, he was hospitalized owing to persistent irritability.\nA chest radiograph showed cardiomegaly, and an echocardiogram revealed decreased LV contractility (ejection fraction: 24%).\nUnder the impression of myocarditis, he had been managed for 1 yr before presentation in our hospital.\nMoreover, the patient showed feeding difficulty and developmental delay from birth.\nBefore referral, he had been admitted to other hospitals 7 times because of infection episodes.\nHe was taking furosemide, spironolactone, enalapril, and carvedilol before referral.\nWhen he was referred to our hospital at 14 months old, his body weight was 6 kg (less than 3rd percentile) and his height was 71 cm (less than 3rd percentile).\nHis overall motor development was delayed, and he could not sit alone.\nHe could say \"mama\" and \"papa.\" The recorded blood pressure and heart rate were 94/30 mmHg and 132 beats per minute, respectively.\nOn physical examination, no definite heart murmur was audible and the liver was not palpable.\nHe also showed persistent neutropenia, which started during his stay in the previous hospital.\nHis WBC and neutrophil counts were 8,800/\u00b5L and only 2% (176/\u00b5L), respectively.\nThe B-natriuretic peptide level was 1,045 pg/mL.\nA chest radiograph showed mild cardiomegaly (cardiothoracic ratio: 62.8%; Fig.1A), and an electrocardiogram showed a low QRS voltage at the limb leads.\nAn echocardiogram revealed a dilated and hypertrophied globular LV with a hypertrophied papillary muscle and hyper-trabeculation, which did not meet the criteria of LV non-compaction.\nThe other echocardiographic parameters were as follows: LV internal diameter at diastole, 37.7 mm (Z = 10.2); ejection fraction, 36.6%; and LV mass index, 75.6 g (Z = 6.3; Fig.1B).\nTo rule out the systemic cause of the dilated and hypertrophied LV, we performed a thoraco-abdominal computed tomographic (CT) angiography with contrast dye.\nThe CT findings showed no abnormality in the kidney and other organs and vessels.\nHowever, after undergoing CT angiography, the patient showed abrupt high-grade spiking fever (Fig.2) and developed secretory diarrhea (800 cc per day) associated with metabolic acidosis.\nAt this time, his WBC and neutrophil counts decreased to 3,290/\u00b5L and 1% (33/\u00b5L), respectively.\nThe B-natriuretic peptide level was greater than 4,901 pg/mL.\nHe did not show associated respiratory symptoms.\nThe results of the respiratory and gastrointestinal viral studies were negative, and the blood and stool cultures were negative for pathogens.\nThe C-reactive protein level was 7.08 mg/dL.\nDespite supportive care including intravenous fluid resuscitation and empirical antibiotics, the patient's condition worsened, with aggravated metabolic acidosis and respiratory difficulty, requiring transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU).\nJust before the ICU transfer, the serum pH was 6.881; bicarbonate level, 7.8 mmol/L; and total CO2 was 41.4 mm Hg.\nAlthough the patient had been treated with intensive ventilator care, several inotropic agents, and other supportive care measures, he eventually died from the aggravated metabolic acidosis and acutely decompensated heart failure 7 days after the ICU care.\nDuring the stay in ICU, we performed genetic analysis for Barth syndrome from the evidence of displayed cardiomyopathy, neutropenia, and developmental delay.\nThe gene sequence analysis revealed that his TAZ gene harbored a novel hemizygous frameshift mutation, c.227delC (p.Pro76LeufsX7), which he inherited from his mother (Fig.3).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "14-month-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

progressive dyspnoea and recurring syncopes.\nCardiological work-up revealed a grade III severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.\nDue to relevant comorbidities (logistic EuroSCORE of 19 points) and severe femoral arteriopathy, he was scheduled for trans-subclavian TAVI.\nAfter successful implantation of a CoreValve prosthesis (Medtronic) [Medtronic World Headquarters Medtronic Parkway Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA] (diameter 31 mm) and initial discharge, he was referred back to the hospital because of dyspnoea due to bilateral pleural effusions.\nTransoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed a severe mitral regurgitation (MR), which was subsequently treated by interventional mitral valve repair using the MitraClip (Abbott Vascular, Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois, U.S.A.) and procedurally dependent atrial septal defect (ASD) closure AMPLATZER\u2122 PFO Occluder (St.\nJude Medical GmbH, Helfmann-Park 7, Eschborn, Germany).\nTwo weeks after secondary discharge, the patient developed progressive heart failure in combination with acute renal failure.\nImmediate echocardiography revealed a moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation and recurrent severe MR.\nValvular defects resulted from a slight but significant aortic valve prosthesis migration towards the left ventricular outflow tract, which had caused aortic paravalvular leakage and partial posterior mitral leaflet detachment (Fig.1).\nAs a consequence of these findings, the patient was transferred to our cardiac surgery department.\nPreoperative coronary angiography revealed a progression of the coronary artery disease.\nConsequently the patient was scheduled for conventional aortic and mitral valve replacement, as well as coronary artery bypass surgery.\nThe operation was performed via median sternotomy.\nOn initialization of cardiopulmonary bypass, the ascending aorta was opened for exploration of the aortic valve (Fig.2A).\nAfter careful removal of the CoreValve prosthesis, an Edwards Perimount aortic valve prosthesis (diameter 25 mm) was implanted.\nAfter vein-grafting of the circumflex coronary artery, the mitral valve was explored via the left atrium and excised with the attached clip.\nThereafter, an Edwards Perimount mitral valve prosthesis (diameter 31 mm) was implanted.\nMore recently, the atrial septal occluder was removed prior to direct closure of the resulting septal defect with a single-suture line (Fig.2B).\nIntraoperative echocardiography revealed adequate function of both prostheses and the operation was completed in the usual manner.\nDuring the postoperative phase, the patient recovered well from surgery although hospitalization was prolonged by transient renal failure and recurring pleural effusions.\nAfter a month of postoperative care, the patient was discharged from hospital to rehabilitation in a good condition, without signs for heart failure.\nAt follow-up three months after surgery, the patient was still in a cardiopulmonary stable condition, undergoing additional physiotherapy.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "84-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 3, "end": 14 }, { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 15, "end": 19 }, {

intolerance, fatigue and shortness of breath on exertion over the several months prior to her presentation to our outpatient clinic.\nAt the time of presentation, she also reported of dry cough, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea, generalised weakness and intermittent numbness of her hands and feet.\nSocial history was negative for smoking, alcohol or illicit drugs.\nPhysical examination was unremarkable, except for jugular venous distension, audible S1 and S2 sounds, bilateral crackles on lung auscultation and bilateral pitting oedema.\nChest X-ray showed cardiomegaly, pulmonary oedema and small-sized bilateral pleural effusions.\nA 12-lead ECG demonstrated normal sinus rhythm, low-voltage complexes and extreme right-axis deviation (figure 1).\nTransthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) demonstrated asymmetric biventricular hypertrophy with preserved ejection fraction of 60%, elevated right-ventricular systolic pressure of 36\u2005mm\u2005Hg and abnormal myocardial texture, described as \u2018granular sparkling\u2019 (figure 2).\nCoronary CT angiogram demonstrated normal coronary arteries.\nSubsequently, cardiac MRI demonstrated early and diffuse subendocardial delayed enhancement, concerning for infiltrative myocardial disease and for diffuse biventricular hypertrophy, with normal ejection fraction (figure 3).\nThe patient underwent right heart catheterisation with endomyocardial biopsy, revealing diffuse amyloidosis with amorphous proteinaceous material around cardiac myocytes and within blood vessels, which was positive for Congo red stain (figure 4).\nSubsequent laboratory evaluation registered elevated, free \u03bb light chains (86.3\u2005mg/L (normal: 5.7\u201326.3\u2005mg/L)) and positive Bence-Jones protein (0.37\u2005g/24\u2005h) in the urine.\nBone marrow biopsy revealed greater than 10% infiltration of CD19\u2212 CD56+ CD138+ plasma cells with reversal of marrow \u03ba/\u03bb ratio (<1:2, normal: 2:1), consistent with MM.\nThe patient was eventually diagnosed with systemic AL amyloidosis with advanced, stage III, cardiac amyloidosis due to underlying MM.\nGiven her advanced cardiac amyloidosis, the patient was deemed a poor candidate for autologous stem-cell transplantation.\nThe patient was started on systemic chemotherapy with melphalan and dexamethasone.\nDespite receiving standard therapy for heart failure\u2014including diuretics, \u03b2-blockers and ACE inhibitors\u2014the patient's condition continued to worsen and she succumbed to sudden cardiac death.\n",

in 1 second (FEV1) and a forced vital capacity (FVC) of 2.7 L (69% of predicted) and 3.2 L (68% of predicted), respectively.\nThe FEV1/FVC ratio was 85%.\nHis haemoglobin (168 g/L), serum parathyroid hormone (2.9 pmol/L [normal, 1.1-7.3]) and calcium (2.34 mmol/L) levels were normal.\n24-hour urine calcium was also normal 6.9 mmol with a 24-hour urine volume of 2.8 L.\nHis chest radiograph (Fig.1A) revealed dense micronodular opacities distributed symmetrically and predominantly in the middle to lower zones of both lungs giving the classical \"sandstorm\" appearance.\nThe cardiac borders were obscured by the sand-like opacities.\nA high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of the lungs (Fig.1B) showed widespread tiny microcalcifications throughout the lungs with a preponderance of microliths in the lower lobes.\nThere were associated areas of interlobular septal thickening and ground-glass changes.\nSubpleural cystic changes were also seen in both lower lobes giving rise to the 'black pleura sign' (Fig.1C) (2).\nNo pneumothorax or pleural effusion was present.\nBoth the bronchial system (including the small bronchioles) and the size of the pulmonary vessels were normal.\nAs this was diffuse parenchymal lung disease, videoassisted thoracic surgical (VATS) lung biopsy was planned but the procedure was converted into a mini-thoracotomy because there was difficulty in manoeuvering the endostapler.\nThere was a moderate pneumothorax postmini-thoracotomy from which the patient fully recovered after 5 days in the ward.\nThe lung biopsy specimen revealed features consistent with PAM, with numerous calcospherites within the alveolar spaces (Fig.1D).\nThe intervening alveolar septae were congested and showed mild fibrosis with infiltrates of mainly lymphoplasmacytic cells.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "24-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Malay", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start": 14, "end": 19 }, {

non-consanguineous, white British parents.\nHe was born at term following an uneventful pregnancy weighing 3132 g (9th\u201325th centile).\nEarly development was thought to be normal.\nAt approximately 6 months of age he developed tonic upward eye deviation associated with flexion of his arms and neck consistent with infantile spasms.\nAn electroencephalograph (EEG) at this time was grossly abnormal (hypsarrhythmia) and strongly supported a diagnosis of West Syndrome.\nCranial MRI was reported as normal.\nPrednisolone was prescribed and treated the seizures effectively.\nSteroids were weaned over 6 weeks and he remained seizure free for a further 6 months.\nBy the age of 1 year, it was apparent that his early developmental progress was not being maintained and that he was functioning at the 6\u20138 month developmental stage.\nSeizures returned shortly after his first birthday and were prolonged, frequent and on occasion focal, involving his right arm, leg and right side of face.\nClonazepam briefly improved seizure frequency, but subsequently his epilepsy has proved refractory to various combinations of anticonvulsant therapy.\nProlonged seizures of more than 60 min have been associated with a stepwise regression in his neurodevelopment.\nSeizure semiology is now predominantly one of epilepsia partialis continua involving the right side of his face, right arm and right leg.\nThe development of focal seizures and the progressive nature of the condition prompted a second cranial MRI at the age of 2 years 6 months.\nBy contrast with the previous scan, this MRI revealed symmetrical subcortical white matter lesions (Fig.1A) with thinning of the anterior and genu of the corpus callosum (Fig.1B).\nOn examination, the patient had small, round, anteriorly rotated ears and a broad nasal root.\nHe demonstrated no visual awareness but startled to loud noise.\nTone was increased in all 4 limbs with internal rotation of both legs at the hips.\nReflexes were pathologically brisk.\nBrief myoclonic jerks were evident throughout the examination.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "young", "label": "AGE", "start": 5, "end": 10 }, { "text": "boy", "label": "SEX",

had recently gradually enlarged.\nPhysical examination revealed a relatively well-circumscribed skin-colored tumor with hyperkeratosis, measuring 43 x 38 mm in diameter, in her left buttock.\nThe biopsy specimen revealed Bowen\u2019s disease (squamous cell carcinoma in situ), and subsequently, total resection of the tumor was performed.\nHistopathological study of the resected specimen revealed proliferation of atypical squamous cells in the entire layer of the acanthotic epidermis accompanied by hyperparakeratosis (Figure 1A).\nThese atypical squamous cells had enlarged and hyperchromatic nuclei (Figure 1B), and multinucleated atypical squamous cells were also present.\nMitotic figures were scattered and present in the upper portion of the epidermis.\nAtypical mitotic figures were also observed (Figure 1B).\nNo invasive neoplastic growth was noted (Figure 1A).\nApproximately 95% of the lesion was composed of the above-mentioned Bowen\u2019s disease (squamous cell carcinoma in situ), and superficial sebaceous carcinoma was present in the central area of the lesion.\nThis latter component was composed of proliferation of nests of atypical cells with vacuolated clear cytoplasm and large nuclei containing conspicuous nucleoli (Figure 1C, \u200b,1D).1D).\nSebaceous carcinoma had invaded into the superficial reticular dermis (Figure 1C).\nMoreover, atypical cells containing vacuolated cytoplasm were present within the lesion of Bowen\u2019s disease adjacent to the sebaceous carcinoma (Figure 1E).\nImmunohistochemical studies were performed using an autostainer (Ventana) by the same method as previously reported [9-12].\nEpithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin 7, and adipophilin were expressed in the sebaceous carcinoma component, but not in Bowen\u2019s disease (Figure 2A).\nAndrogen receptor was also expressed in some of the tumor cells of the sebaceous carcinoma, but not in Bowen\u2019s disease.\nMoreover, atypical vacuolated cells within the lesion of Bowen\u2019s disease were also positive for adipophilin (Figure 2B).\nOverexpression of p53 protein was observed in both the sebaceous carcinoma and Bowen\u2019s disease.\nAccordingly, an ultimate diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma associated with Bowen\u2019s disease was made.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "67-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, {

orthopnoea.\nVitals were stable.\nCardiovascular examination was remarkable for an elevated jugular venous pressure (JVP) of about 12\u2005cm with a pronounced \u2018y\u2019 descent.\nThere was a prominent pericardial knock sound heard over the praecordium.\nThere was no pericardial rub or murmur.\nThe lungs were clear to auscultation.\nThe patient was markedly oedematous from the abdomen to

slide.\nAnnulus paradoxus was demonstrated on tissue Doppler (figure 2).\nLeft ventricular ejection fraction was 64%.\nThe right ventricle was normal in size and function.\nThere was moderate tricuspid regurgitation.\nThere was no pericardial effusion, but the pericardial space was remarkable for debris.\nConstrictive physiology was demonstrated by Doppler study of tricuspid and mitral inflows (figure 3) during inspiration and expiration; diastolic flow reversal was also demonstrated in the hepatic veins during expiration.\nThere was marked dilatation of the inferior vena cava with no change during inspiration or expiration.\nCT of the chest revealed thickening of the pericardium with no evidence of calcification.\nThere were no lung nodules.\nBilateral pleural effusions and interstitial thickening were present in the lung bases.\nCardiac MRI confirmed the presence of a diffusely thickened pericardium at 5\u2005mm.\nThe inferior vena cava and hepatic veins appeared plethoric.\nThere was a rapid early diastolic filling and associated diastolic septal bounce secondary to hindered late diastolic filling (figure 4).\nThe patient showed a good response to

board.\nDuring pregnancy, the patient was suspected to have IUGR and was delivered by Cesarian section at 36+2 gestational weeks with Apgar scores 9 and 10.\nBirth weight was 2.3\u2009kg (10th percentile) and head circumference 32\u2009cm (10th percentile).\nPhysical exam after birth, detected a systolic murmur 3/6.\nOn the first day of life, the patient developed metabolic acidosis with lactate level of 27\u2009mm (normal range 0.5\u20132.4\u2009mm) and elevated ammonia levels 277\u2009\u03bcm (normal range 10\u201360\u2009\u03bcm).\nMetabolic work up showed normal acylcarnitines, elevated alanine level 1400\u2009\u03bcm (normal <700\u2009\u03bcm), and urine organic acids showed increased lactic acidosis and ketones.\nChest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly, and cardiac Echo revealed symmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy tricuspid regurge and pulmonary hypertension.\nThe patient was transported to the NICU and treated with bicarbonate, acetate and diuretics.\nAt the age of 4 days, quadriceps muscle biopsy was performed.\nPathology showed decreased cytochrome c oxidase stain.\nBrain ultrasound performed at age 5 days was normal.\nSubsequently, head circumference grew rapidly adding 13 centimeters by age 35 days, repeated brain US revealed dilated ventricles confirmed by head CT, which also showed subcortical and white matter cortical hemorrhage in the occipital region.\nAt 15 weeks, a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was inserted.\nHead CT performed at age 2 years showed prominent dilatation of the ventricles (Figure 1).\nDue to hypotonia with feeding difficulties and recurrent aspirations, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) feeding tube was inserted at age 10 weeks.\nEye examination at the age of 15 weeks revealed cortical blindness.\nHearing test ABR was normal.\nRepeated cardiac Echo continued to show mild tricuspid regurge, mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) in the first months of life.\nAt the age of 4 months, he started developing hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, he was started on diuretics and beta blockers and later calcium channel blockers were added; follow-up Echo at the age of 2 years revealed improvement in the LVH and no PHTN.\nCoenzyme Q10 supplementation (60\u2009mg twice daily) was initiated at 4 months but discontinued by the parents.\nIn the following months, the patient was admitted several times to the hospital mainly due to chest infections, shunt malfunctioning and fevers.\nHe died at the age of 30 months due to severe hypoxemia after a febrile illness with chest infection and pulmonary edema; parents refused mechanical ventilation and refused reanimation.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 27, "end": 31

man who initially presented with diarrhea, weight loss and painless jaundice, was subsequently found to have adenocarcinoma of the head of pancreas.\nAn initial workup revealed localized cancer with no evidence of distant metastases.\nHe then underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with complete surgical resection of a 5cm moderately differentiated pancreatic adenocarcinoma.\nAlthough our patient underwent complete surgical resection, a pathological examination revealed a neoplastic invasion of the resected adjacent organs, and one out of the seven resected lymph nodes contained cancer (T3N1M0).\nAt that point, the oncology department recommended to proceed with adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1000mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8, 15 on a 28-day cycle for six cycles) to try to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.\nHowever, after completing two cycles (a total of six doses) of chemotherapy, he presented to the emergency department with worsening exertional dyspnea, three-pillow orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and fatigue.\nHis physical examination revealed an elevated jugular venous pressure (JVP) (10cm above the sternal angle), bibasilar rales and +2 pitting edema of both lower extremities.\nCardiac auscultation revealed a gallop rhythm with an S3 and a grade 3 holosystolic murmur over precordium.\nA chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly with mild to moderate-sized right-sided pleural effusion.\nIt was thought that his presentation was consistent with fluid overload secondary to congestive heart failure (CHF) and he was started on intravenous (IV) furosemide with partial improvement in his symptoms.\nThe next day, a two-dimensional echocardiography (2D Echo) was performed, which showed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 15 to 20 percent with global hypokinesia along with moderate mitral regurgitation.\nGiven the findings of 2D Echo and the absence of significant risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (CMP), it was concluded that our patient\u2019s CMP was related to the recent use of gemcitabine.\nOur patient was then started on carvedilol and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor in addition to diuretics and he was discharged from the hospital two days later in a euvolemic state.\nAt that point, the cardiology department recommended stopping further chemotherapy with gemcitabine.\nThe oncology department advised further testing to rule out ischemia as a cause of CMP as, in their opinion, chemotherapy with gemcitabine was the only option to reduce the risk of recurrence in this patient.\nTwo weeks later, our patient underwent myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which showed a fixed small- to moderate-sized inferior wall defect without any evidence of active ischemia.\nThe ejection fraction (EF) on MPI was calculated to be around 17 to 20 percent with severe global hypokinesia.\nOur patient was continued on standard heart failure therapy with one more admission to the hospital for CHF exacerbation about two months later.\nHe responded well to IV furosemide and adjustment of heart failure therapy.\nA 2D Echo was repeated a few months later and it showed improvement in systolic function with an LVEF of 40 percent.\nDue to his poor functional status and underlying CMP, further gemcitabine chemotherapy was stopped.\nLater, our patient developed a recurrence of his pancreatic cancer; he refused further chemotherapy and decided to proceed with palliative care.\nAlthough the exact etiology of our patient\u2019s dilated cardiomyopathy remains unclear, gemcitabine remains the most likely culprit.\nThe temporal relationship of his symptoms to the initiation of gemcitabine chemotherapy; the lack of risk factors for ischemic CMP and prior history of CAD, finding of global hypokinesia on 2D Echo, absence of ischemia on MPI; and improvement in his systolic function after discontinuation of gemcitabine were all consistent with gemcitabine-induced cardiomyopathy.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "56-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "African American", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start": 14, "end": 30 }, { "text":

to our hospital with a recent diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma.\nHer lactate dehydrogenase level was high and the diameter of her mediastinal mass was more than 10cm.\nHer physical examination was normal, and basal electrocardiography (ECG) showed sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 72 beats/minute.\nTwo-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE; Siemens, Acuson Sequoia, C512) revealed normal biventricular functions with an LV ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%, mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, and moderate pericardial effusion.\nA risk assessment of the patient put her into a high-risk category and she underwent rituximab-hyperfractionated-cyclophosphamide-vincristine-doxorubicin-dexamethasone (R-Hyper-CVAD) chemotherapy protocol.\nHer laboratory values are summarized in Table 1.\nShe received high-dose cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 twice daily for 3 days, doxorubicin 25mg/m2/day for 2 days, rituximab 375mg/m2/day for 1 day, dexamethasone 40mg/day for 4 days, and vincristine 2mg/day for 2 days.\nThe total treatment dose of cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin received was 1800mg/m2 and 50mg/m2, respectively.\nShe was given allopurinol 300mg/day perorally, sodium bicarbonate (8.4%, 10 flacon/day) infusion for 24 hours before chemotherapy, and mesna 600mg/m2/day for 2 days as prophylaxis against tumor lysis syndrome and hemorrhagic cystitis, respectively.\nShe also received granisetron 2mg/day and lansoprazole 30mg/day as antiemetogenic and gastric prophylaxis, respectively.\nThe patient developed dyspnea on the seventh day of therapy.\nA physical examination revealed blood pressure of 100/60mmHg and a heart rate of 110 beats/minute.\nOn chest auscultation, no inspiratory sounds were heard at lower zones and inspiratory crackles were heard at middle zones.\nNeither cardiac murmurs nor S3 were heard.\nAn ECG showed low voltage in the limb and precordial leads.\nTTE showed diffusely increased myocardial echogenicity, mild pericardial effusion, and generally impaired biventricular systolic functions with an LVEF 31% and right ventricular mid-apical akinesis.\nManifest pleural effusion was also detected.\nDrug-induced cardiotoxicity (myocarditis) was suspected.\nFurosemide and ramipril were started.\nThe beta-blocker therapy the patient was already taking for hypertension was continued.\nAfter 12 days, TTE showed an LVEF of 37%

45-year-old woman presents to her general practitioner because of left-sided neck and shoulder pain.\nThe pain was mild and non-specific and the patient's history was unremarkable.\nShe denied a history of smoking, excessive alcohol use and radiation exposure.\nPhysical examination demonstrated mild left sided cervical lymphadenopathy.\nRoutine blood tests revealed borderline elevated calcium of 10.5\u2005mg/dL and subsequent work up exhibited a markedly elevated parathyroid hormone level of 286\u2005pg/mL, so the patient was referred to otolaryngology for further evaluation.\nThyroid ultrasound showed a hypoechoic nodule in the left lower lobe of the thyroid.\nCT scan of the neck revealed a 2\u2005cm hypodense nodule on the posterior inferior aspect of the left lower thyroid and sestamibi scan showed increased uptake along the lower pole of the left thyroid lobe.\nElevated PTH along with an aberrant parathyroid gland on imaging suggests primary hyperparathyroidism.\nHistorically, hyperparathyroidism is associated with bone disease, renal stones and neuromuscular dysfunction, however, with the current screening modalities, most patients are caught early and often asymptomatic.3 Primary hyperparathyroidism is most commonly caused by a parathyroid adenoma.\nInfrequent causes include parathyroid hyperplasia, which would affect all four glands and rarely caused by parathyroid carcinoma.\nMarkedly elevated serum PTH and calcium levels leading to severe renal and bone manifestations are helpful in the diagnosis of cancer, however, it is usually discovered operatively based on local invasion and metastases.3\nThe primary indication for parathyroidectomy, historically, is for symptomatic patients.\nCurrently, since most patients are caught earlier, there are newer indications for surgery.\nThese include an asymptomatic patient with any of the following: glomerular filtration rate <60\u2005mL/min, bone density T-score <\u22122.5 at any site and/or previous fractures, age <50, and serum calcium 1.0\u2005ng/dL above the upper limit of normal.3 This patient presented with pain, markedly elevated PTH, and was younger than 50\u2005years old, so it was decided that surgery was the best choice in management.\nThe patient was brought to the operating room and underwent a parathyroidectomy.\nThe surgeon found the parathyroid gland to be firm and densely adherent to the thyroid capsule and overlying strap muscle, making it difficult to dissect.\nThere was no visible invasion into the capsule, surrounding muscle or regional lymph nodes.\nThe resected specimen was noted to be brownish grey in colour with scattered necrotic foci, and irregular texture.\nOn postoperative pathology, the specimen was confirmed positive for parathyroid carcinoma with capsular invasion, focal tumour necrosis, reactive fibrosis and local skeletal muscle invasion (figures 1 and \u200b2).\nMargins were resected.\nImmunohistochemical stains showed increased Ki-67 reactivity as well as strong Bcl-1 (cyclin D1) reactivity, which support the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma (figure 3).\nAdditionally, P57 staining was negative.\nAlthough most reports of parathyroid carcinomas are associated with marked hypercalcaemia, non-functioning cancers in patients tend to behave more aggressively.1 Owing to the severity and uncertainty of the lesion, the patient was followed up postoperatively for repeat imaging to determine if residual tumour remained.\nRepeat sestamibi and positron emission tomography (PET) scan revealed residual activity along the surgical area so the patient subsequently underwent a second operation for a radical left neck dissection and left hemithyroidectomy.\nThe patient recovered very well postoperatively and it has now been 3\u2005years since the second surgery.\nThe patient continues to do very well and is followed up every 3\u2005months to monitor serum PTH and calcium levels.\nShe no longer reports of neck and shoulder pain.\nSometimes the patient's blood tests show marginally elevated PTH levels, however, she remains eucalcaemic and follow-up nuclear scans and PET scans continue to be negative.\nThe patient will continue to be monitored every 3\u2005months indefinitely.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "45-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 },

Hospital.\nThe patient was periodically hospitalized from January to July 2013 and was treated for recurrent respiratory and catheter-related infections caused by MRSA and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.\nHis antibiotic exposure included long treatment courses with various agents, including meropenem, ceftazidime, doxycycline, vancomycin, linezolid, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, and inhaled and systemic colistin and tobramycin.\nShortly after being readmitted to our hospital in June 2013, MRSA was grown from cultures of blood and respiratory specimens.\nThese two isolates were resistant to clindamycin, linezolid, oxacillin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and susceptible to minocycline, rifampin, and vancomycin.\nHis blood isolate grew confluently around the ceftaroline Etest strip, yielding an MIC of >32 mg/liter.\nFive additional S. aureus respiratory tract isolates were available for further study.\nAll MRSA isolates from this patient had a small-colony-variant

study of the temporal bone.\nThe patient underwent a 3D-CT scan.\nBrilliance CT-64-channel (Philips Medical Systems, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) was employed.\nThe protocol generated 120 kV and a current of 150 mA.\nSlice thickness of the images was 1-mm with a 0.5-mm increment.\nImages in DICOM format were processed on a PC using commercial software, obtaining a three-dimensional reconstruction of skeletal structures.\nThe 3-dimensional reconstruction of the skin plans showed hypoplasia of the auricle that on the right side consisted of a simple dysmorphic rough.\nThe left auricle had regular dimensions and morphology.\nAtresia of the right auditory conduit and a normal left auditory conduit were observed.\nThe upper images showed partial ossification of the cranium typical in paediatric age.\nDescription of the profile: typical II class very convex profile with interposition of the inferior lip and a reduced neck-chin angle.(Fig.1).\nSkeletal studies show that the mandibular condyle, ramus and corpus were shorter on the affected side.\nTilting of oral rhyme, occlusal plane and mandibular plane were evident.\nNumber or form abnormalities were not found during mixed dentition.\nMandibular condyles and temporo-mandibular joints seemed to be asymmetric, and in particular the right condyle was deformed, shorter and wider than the other side (mandibular condyle dimensions were 11 \u00d7 7 mm right and 14 \u00d7 7 mm left).\nThe 3-dimensional reconstruction of the skeleton planes showed the different morphology of the right and left hemimandibula.\nMandibular 3-dimensional reconstruction showed in detail the shift of the medial axis to the hypoplastic right side and the asymmetry of the right mandibular condyles that appears dysmorphic short and wide in axial and coronal scansions (Figs.2, 3).\nThe study of the temporal bone showed on the right side an external auditory canal atresia, hypoplasia of tympanic cavity that was not pneumatized and occupied by dense materials from soft parts.\nNo pneumatization was present in right mastoid cells.\nLeft external auditory canal dimensions and morphology were normal.\nThe left tympanic cavity was normally formed and totally occupied by dense materials from soft tissues.\nBoth right and left ears presented minor hypoplasia of auricle bones in the right side.\nIn agreement with the resolution of our instrument, normal representation of the malleus head that seemed articulated with a dysmorphic rough of a deformed incus was observed; it was impossible to see the staples.\nThe left malleus and incus were visible and appeared to be articulated in an abnormal manner (reduce contact surface); the staples was difficult to observe but seemed to have regular morphology.\nDimensions and morphology of cochlea semicircular canals, vestibulum and utriculum were unaltered (Figs.4-\u200b7).\nIn conclusion, through 3D-CT valuation of this young patient we observed asymmetry of the condyles; in particular, the right condyle was dysmorphic, short and wide; the auricle of the right external ear was hypoplastic, only a dysmorphic rough was present; the right middle ear had a hypoplastic tympanic cavity; the right internal ear has an atresic auditory conduit.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "7-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 12 }, { "text":

breast ultrasonography (US) showed more than twenty circumscribed, oval masses in each breast.\nAn US-guided core biopsy was performed for the palpable masses which were confirmed as juvenile fibroadenomas.\nAfter the biopsy, a breast US was done as follow-up every 6 or 12 months for 3 years.\nDuring the surveillance period, core biopsies were performed six times, followed by US-guided vacuum-assisted core needle excisions or surgical excisions of lesions with increased sizes.\nPathologic results were fibroadenoma, tubular adenoma or atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) involving fibroadenoma.\nAt the age of 19 years, the patient underwent a neck US for a palpable mass in the left neck.\nSeveral indeterminate nodules were revealed in both thyroid glands.\nA follow-up US revealed that some of those nodules increased in size.\nThe patient underwent a total thyroidectomy and the pathologic result revealed an invasive follicular carcinoma in the left thyroid and follicular adenoma in the right thyroid (Fig.1A).\nAt the age of 21 years, she visited the hospital due to a swelling of her left cheek.\nHead and neck CT scan revealed a vascular mass in the left parotid gland extended into the left forehead.\nAn external carotid angiography confirmed the diagnosis of an AVM with feeder vessel arising from the left internal maxillary artery (Fig.1B).\nA partial embolization decreased the blood flow through the AVM, alleviating the patient's symptom.\nShe was referred to genetic counseling under the suggestion of a Cowden syndrome and the PTEN DNA sequencing test of her blood sample revealed a frameshift mutation, c.301dupA (p.I101NfsX6).\nAt the age of 22 years, the patient presented with a mass with increased size and increased vascularity in the left breast.\nAn US-guided vacuum-assisted core needle excision revealed a ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of non-comedo type and a low grade involving fibroadenoma (Fig.1C).\nThe contrast-enhanced breast MRI for the preoperative evaluation demonstrated multiple, well-circumscribed, enhancing masses in both breasts (Fig.1D).\nAll masses showed high or intermediate signal intensity on T2-weighted images (Fig.1E).\nSeveral masses showed an early rapid enhancement with washout kinetic pattern on time-signal intensity curve evaluation, which tends to be associated with malignancy (Fig.1F).\nA bilateral prophylactic mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction was performed in view of multiple bilateral breast masses with suspicious kinetic features on breast MRI and a high risk for breast cancer of Cowden syndrome.\nThe surgical histopathology revealed ADH involving tubular adenoma without residual carcinoma in the left breast and multiple tubular adenomas, fibroadenomas and intraductal papillomas in both breasts.\nThe patient had no family history of breast cancer or Cowden syndrome.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "19-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

British Pakistani parents.\nAntenatal scans showed that she was small for her gestation, weighing 1.19\u2009kg at birth with a head circumference of 26.7\u2009cm, considerably below the 0.4th centile.\nInduction of labour had been attempted because of the growth retardation but had failed, leading to the emergency caesarean section.\nThe Apgar scores were 4 at 1\u2009min, 7 at 5\u2009min and 9 at 10\u2009min.\nShe was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for continuous positive airway pressure ventilation.\nAt a few hours of age, she developed a severe lactic acidosis.\nThe initial lactic acid concentration was 22\u2009mmol/l and subsequently increased to 63\u2009mmol/l (normal range, 0.7\u20132.1\u2009mmol/l).\nShe was treated with intravenous infusions of sodium bicarbonate and Tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane (THAM), but it was never possible to correct the metabolic acidosis.\nShe also developed hypoglycaemia within hours of birth that was corrected with an intravenous infusion of 15% glucose (7.8\u2009mg/kg/min).\nThe ammonia concentration was normal.\nUrine organic acid profile showed massive excretion of lactic acid and increased phenolic acids, especially hydroxyphenyllactate.\nPlasma amino acids showed raised concentrations of alanine and glutamine (1567 and 1369\u2009\u03bcmol/l, respectively), consistent with the lactic acidosis; several other amino acids were also mildly increased.\nThere was gross generalised aminoaciduria.\nBlood acylcarnitine analysis was normal.\nEchocardiography showed a structurally normal heart and good ventricular function.\nCranial ultrasound showed bilateral intraventricular cysts within the frontal horns and anterior portions of the lateral ventricles.\nThe left-sided cysts were larger, up to 15\u2009mm in diameter, whereas the largest cyst on the right was 8\u2009mm in diameter.\nThe choroid plexuses were hyperechoic and irregular, suggesting previous intraventricular haemorrhage.\nAbdominal ultrasound showed a distended urinary bladder but was otherwise unremarkable.\nThere was severe coagulopathy with an extended prothrombin time of 47.7\u2009s (normal 12.3\u201316.6\u2009s), a very low plasma albumin of 7\u2009g/l (normal 35\u201350\u2009g/l), otherwise normal liver function tests but a raised creatine kinase of 2700\u2009U/l (normal <300\u2009U/l).\nShe was transferred to a tertiary centre because of her worsening metabolic acidosis.\nShe started having seizures at \u223c48\u2009h of age.\nDespite infusions of bicarbonate and THAM, her acidosis continued to worsen.\nMuscle and skin biopsies were performed and the family agreed to the withdrawal of intensive care treatment.\nShe died aged 55\u2009h.\nAll documented studies were approved and performed under the ethical guidelines issued by each of our Institutions for clinical studies, with written informed consent obtained from the family.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

Ashkenazi Jewish descent presented with the chief complaint of severe and constant throbbing pain in her left posterior mandible.\nShe reported that her pain was aggravated by chewing, and started months before the initial consultation visit.\nVisual analog scale of pain was reported 7/10 at the day of the visit.\nPast medical history was remarkable for Gaucher disease, left hip replacement, gall bladder removal, herniorrhaphy, spleen abscess drainage, hepatitis C infection, and asthma.\nSocial history was significant for 20 pack-years of cigarette smoking.\nHer family history was unremarkable for any hereditary or systemic diseases.\nHer medications included the oral antiresorptive drug alendronate for early osteoporosis associated with Gaucher disease (70mg weekly for 2 years), calcium supplements, loratadine, hydromorphone, esomeprazole, promethazine, levalbuterol, carisoprodol, fluticasone and ibuprofen.\nShe reported that she had been on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) intermittently for several years to treat her Gaucher disease which was diagnosed 20 years prior.\nShe received intravenous injections twice a month for ERT and recounted fatigue after each infusion.\nShe also reported receiving antibiotic and analgesic medications for her pain months ago but they were not helpful.Head and neck examination, cranial nerve examination and vital signs were within normal limits.\nIntraoral examination was completed using percussion testing, vitality testing and probing for evaluation of her mandibular posterior teeth in the region of the chief complaint.\nHer left mandibular first molar was endodontically treated 3 years prior and tested non-vital, while her remaining mandibular teeth were normal on vitality testing with evaluation of several opposing non-restored and non-carious teeth as internal controls.\nGingival tissues in both jaws were non-inflamed and there was no gross evidence of plaque or calculus.\nPeriodontal pockets in her mandible ranged from 4 to 6mm with no significant bony defects.\nFull mouth dental X-rays and a panoramic radiograph were taken and showed relatively well-defined radiolucent lesions in multiple regions of the mandible bilaterally, with a pseudocystic (multilocular) appearance; cone-beam computed tomography confirmed these findings and revealed a large lytic lesion of her left posterior mandible in the region of her chief complaint (Figure 1).Our clinical and radiographic differential diagnosis for her chief complaint included chronic apical periodontitis, radicular cyst, central giant cell granuloma, keratocystic odontogenic tumor, ameloblastoma, odontogenic fibroma, neuralgia/neuropathy or mandibular involvement of Gaucher disease given her medical history.\nOur findings were discussed with the patient and written consent was obtained for surgical biopsy of her left mandible with local anesthesia for more definitive diagnosis.\nA four-corner gingival flap buccally was reflected in her posterior left mandible extending from the canine to the second molar, and cortical bone was removed with a surgical bur to create a window for access to the lesion.\nPathologic soft tissue was evident through the access window.\nThe entire pathologic soft tissue along with the bone from the access window was submitted to the pathology laboratory for histological evaluation.\nHistopathological findings revealed infiltration of jawbone marrow with fibrous connective tissue containing abundant Gaucher cells (Figure 2).\nThere was no evidence of abscess or neutrophils, granuloma or malignancy.\nPostoperative healing was uneventful, and the patient reported resolution of her chief complaint and symptomatology at 1-month follow-up.\nShe was referred to her physician for consultation and further evaluation as related to her Gaucher disease status following our findings.\nShe was again treated with ERT and at 1-year re-evaluation was still symptom free in her oral cavity.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "46-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Caucasian", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start": 14, "end": 23 }, {

maculopapular rash with vesicles (figure 2).\nIt covered his forearms from the dorsal aspect of the hands to the flexor surface of the elbows.\nIt was also beginning to develop around his neck (figure 3).\nHe described the rash as itchy and painful, and was feeling \u2018under the weather\u2019.\nThe patient had no previous dermatological or other medical history of note.\nHe took no medication.\nHe worked in a supermarket handling food items but there was no history of occupational chemical exposure.\nHe had not recently had any change in washing powder or personal hygiene products.\nPhysiological observations were entirely normal and systemic examination unremarkable.\nCloser examination of the rash revealed that it was present only on skin exposed to the sun when wearing a short-sleeved shirt; the most striking feature was the \u2018V\u2019 shape on the patient's chest in keeping with the neck line of a polo shirt.\nOn further questioning the patient described a period of time 48\u2005h prior to presentation (and 12\u2005h prior to the development of the rash) spent strimming the grass under the hedges in his garden.\nBlood tests including full blood count, urea and electrolytes, liver function test and C-reactive protein were all within normal reference ranges.\nThe list of potential differential diagnoses for a maculopapular rash is long, but given the distribution of the rash and the history of plant material exposure a diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis was made.\nThe patient was discharged with chlorphenamine, simple analgesia and the advice to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt and sunscreen when gardening in the future.\nThe rash resolved over a period of 3\u2005weeks.\nIt remained pruritic throughout healing but the associated pain settled over a few days.\nResidual scarring is beginning to fade 2\u2005months after presentation.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "21-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label":

(DQB1), and was T-cell depleted using in vivo alemtuzumab.\nHe engrafted on day 12 after transplant.\nAside from persistent lymphopenia and diarrhea from norovirus infection, his posttransplant course was unremarkable until mid-October when he developed tinnitus and rapidly progressive sensorineural deafness, resulting in subtotal hearing loss bilaterally (>95 dB) over 2\u20133 weeks.\nBrain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was unremarkable, as was cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis (4 leukocytes/\u00b5L with 50% neutrophils and 50% lymphocytes, 6 red blood cells/\u00b5L, glucose 2.4 mmol/L [normal range, 2.2\u20134.7 mmol/L], protein 61 mg/dL [normal range, 15\u201345 mg/L], absence of oligoclonal bands).\nViral polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of CSF was negative for enterovirus and herpesvirus infection.\nThe patient was treated empirically with high-dose valacyclovir, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and 2 g/kg intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).\nDespite these interventions, he developed new symptoms of central dyspnea, postural hypotension, nausea, and gradually worsening balance.\nRepeat neurological assessment confirmed persistent vestibulocochlear dysfunction 6 weeks after symptom onset.\nBy mid-December, the patient had become increasingly withdrawn, irritable, and intermittently agitated.\nHe remained lymphopenic (lymphocytes 0.54 \u00d7 106/\u03bcL [normal range, 1.2\u20133.6 \u00d7 106/\u03bcL]).\nMRI scans of the brain were unremarkable, as was serum testing for antineuronal antibodies; an electroencephalogram revealed only diffuse encephalopathy.\nGiven continued suspicion for a viral etiology, the patient was treated with high-dose glucocorticoids and again with IVIG.\nHe began refusing fluids, food, and medication, and was detained under the UK Mental Health Act.\nRepeat MRI scanning showed interval development of new, nonenhancing signal abnormalities in both thalami and midbrain with cranial nerve involvement but no meningeal enhancement (Figure \u200b1A).\nNear the end of December, a frontal lobe biopsy was performed.\nHistology revealed reactive gliosis and diffuse infiltration with CD3+/8+ lymphocytes (Figure 1B).\nExtensive microbiological testing of the biopsy tissue for an infectious etiology was negative (Supplementary Table 1).\nGiven the absence of a diagnosis and the patient's progressive neurological deterioration, CSF and brain biopsy tissue were analyzed in January 2014 by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) [2].\nNGS analysis of the brain biopsy, genome assembly, and in situ hybridization revealed findings of neuroinvasive astrovirus (AstV) infection.\nDespite lack of approved therapies, the patient was treated with ribavirin and IVIG.\nHowever, he did not respond to these interventions, and remained in a minimally conscious state following withdrawal of sedation in March 2014.\nHe eventually died at the end of May, 4 months after the NGS diagnosis and approximately 7.5 months after onset of symptoms.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "42 year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, {

"full_text": "A 68-year-old man was referred by his optometrist to HES with suspected LTG due to repeatedly irregular visual field test results, advanced optic disc cupping, normal intraocular pressures (IOPs) and a family history of glaucoma.\nThe patient subjectively felt that vision in his \u2018good\u2019 left eye (LE), which normally had a visual acuity of 6/6 N5, started to deteriorate 6\u2005months earlier; at the point of referral it was best corrected to 6/7.5 N6.\nHis right eye (RE) was known to be amblyopic with a visual acuity of 6/18 N12.\nHis medical history included considerable risk factors for systemic vasculopathy, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, 50 pack-years of smoking and type 2 diabetes with no diabetic retinopathy.\nDespite detailed questioning, he denied any new systemic symptoms apart from experiencing increased lethargy.\nClinical examination at HES revealed advanced bilateral cupped optic discs with a cup-to-disc ratio right 0.9 (90%) and left 0.8 (80%; figure 1).\nFurthermore, the findings from the referring optometrist of equal and reactive pupils, normal eye movements and IOPs in mid-teens were confirmed.\nComputerised perimetry showed constricted visual fields in both eyes, albeit with considerably raised false-negative error rates in excess of 30% (figure 2A).\nSince this can be a result of poor concentration and attention span with testing compounded, especially with an amblyopic RE, the field test was repeated 4\u2005weeks later with similar results (figure 2B).\nAt this visit, the patient experienced further deterioration of his \u2018good\u2019 LE.\nVisual acuities measured 6/24 (loss of one Snellen line) N36 in his amblyopic RE, and 6/18 (loss of two Snellen lines) N36 in his LE, which now also showed depressed colour vision.\nAn urgent scan of the patient's head and orbit was requested to rule out a compressive lesion and blood analysis was carried out to screen for other causes of optic neuropathy including vitamin B12, folate levels and inflammatory markers.\nMRI revealed a large mass centred at the pituitary fossa measuring approximately 4.5\u2005cm\u00d75.1\u2005cm\u00d7 4.8\u2005cm (figure 3A\u2013C) extending into the suprasellar cistern and infrasellar sphenoid sinuses.\nThe optic chiasm and both optic nerves were displaced superiorly and compressed on both sides.\nThe mass showed heterogeneous T1 and T2 signals with multiple fluid levels most likely due to previous haemorrhage and low-signal components suggesting calcifications.\nThe appearance was probably due to a craniopharyngioma or haemorrhagic pituitary adenoma.\nThe patient was referred urgently to the neurosurgery unit and was found to have markedly raised prolactin levels of greater than 200\u2005000\u2005mIU/L, confirming the diagnosis of a giant prolactinoma.\nIn cooperation with the local endocrinology service, he was started on cabergoline 500\u2005\u00b5g and dexamethasone 8\u2005mg.\nWithin a week this led to a dramatic improvement of the patient's visual fields and acuities to 6/18 RE and to 6/9 LE.\nHis prolactin levels showed a similar dramatic response with levels coming down to 336\u2005mIU/L.\nThree months later his visual acuity in his RE and LE were 6/18 and 6/5, respectively, and visual field examination showed striking recovery with almost normal results (figure 2C).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "68-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text": "referred", "label":

normal early developmental milestones.\nHeight and weight were on the 10th and 50th centiles, respectively.\nPreliminary examination was remarkable only for hepatomegaly extending 3.5\u2005cm below the right costal margin.\nInitial laboratory evaluation revealed normochromic normocytic anaemia (haemoglobin 7.8\u2005g/dL (11.5\u201316), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 85.8\u2005fL (75\u201387) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) 25.4\u2005pg (25\u201335)) with marked anisocytosis (red-cell distribution width (RDW) 29% (11\u201314.5)).\nHypochromia and teardrops were evident on a blood film.\nLeucopoenia was also a feature (white cell count 2.9\u00d7109/L (4.5\u201313.5), neutrophils 1.7\u00d7109/L (2\u20137.5) and lymphocytes 0.8\u00d7109/L (1.5\u20134)).\nA bone marrow aspirate and biopsy revealed a hypercellular marrow with erythroid hyperplasia.\nAn iron stain revealed that approximately 50% of erythroblasts were ringed sideroblasts.\nMarrow cytogenetics were normal including fluorescence in situ hybridisation studies of chromosomes 5q, 7 and 8 and flow cytometry did not detect a blast population.\nSerum copper and lead were normal, as were blood smears on the proband\u2019s parents and sister.\nAnalysis of several genes responsible for hereditary SA (ALAS2, ABC7, FECH and PUS1) revealed no reported pathogenic variants.\nFasting lactate was elevated at 3.8\u2005mmol/L.\nNeurological examination identified upper motor neuron signs in the lower limbs bilaterally; however, cerebellar signs were negative.\nMRI of the brain demonstrated volume loss with slight prominence of the cerebellar folia.\nUrine organic acids revealed elevated 3-methylglutaconate and 3-methylglutarate.\nThe lactate:pyruvate ratio was elevated (30:1).\nMuscle biopsy revealed a structurally normal muscle and biochemical assay of respiratory chain components resulted in a diagnosis of partial complex IV deficiency.\nHe subsequently commenced a high-fat diet and coenzyme Q with a resultant improvement in energy.\nAnalysis of mtDNA in leucocytes and muscle utilising PCR did not reveal a deletion.\nCarnitine, vitamin A, thiamine, pyridoxine, folate and uridine were supplemented without improvement in his anaemia.\nHaemoglobin levels fell to 4.4\u2005g/dL, leading to occasional and then regular three-weekly red cell transfusions.\nWith repeated transfusions, ferritin rose to 1700\u2005\u00b5g/L, necessitating iron chelation.\nPeak growth hormone and cortisol to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia were 30.9\u2005mU/L (normal >20) and 447\u2005nmol/L (normal >500), respectively, at age 13 years.\nThyroid function was normal.\nRepeat peak cortisol was 384\u2005nmol/L following adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation.\nPlasma renin activity was elevated to 15\u2005ng/mL/h, and adrenal androgens were below the lower limit of assay detection.\nA urinary steroid profile was qualitatively normal, as was an abdominal ultrasound.\nHydrocortisone 5\u2005mg twice daily and fludrocortisone 100\u2005\u00b5g daily were initiated.\nAdrenal autoantibodies to 21-hydroxylase were negative and very-long-chain fatty acids were normal.\nThe patient has recently developed a renal tubular Fanconi syndrome including glycosuria, hypokalaemia, hypophosphataemia with low maximal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and a generalised aminoaciduria.\nIn addition, he was incidentally noted to have hyperglycaemia during an admission for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion.\nGlycated haemoglobin was elevated to 62\u2005mmol/mol (7.8%) despite rapid red cell turnover.\nPancreatic autoantibodies were negative (glutamic acid decarboxylase, anti-insulin, anti-islet antigen 2 and pancreatic islet cell antibodies).\nHe is maintained on twice daily insulin detemir with satisfactory glycaemic control with fructosamine 161\u2005\u00b5mol/L (205\u2013285).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "8-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 3, "end": 13 }, {

a complaint of right upper quadrant pain.\nThree years prior, the patient was incidentally diagnosed with idiopathic BCS during health checkup; Doppler ultrasound (US) examination showed obstruction of the middle and left hepatic veins, and investigations for underlying thrombophilia were unremarkable.\nShe was treated with warfarin to maintain an international normalized ratio between 2 and 3, but discontinued after at least 1 year due to non-compliance; the patient did not consult with any doctors for 2 years.\nShe has remained asymptomatic for the past 3 years until recently she started experiencing steadily worsening, intermittent pain in the right upper quadrant of her abdomen, with no associated or alleviating factors.\nPhysical examination was only notable for mild right upper quadrant tenderness.\nLaboratory tests revealed mildly elevated bilirubin (2.2 mg/dL) and albumin deficit (2.38 g/dL).\nHer Child-Pugh (CP) score was 8, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score was 11, Rotterdam score was 0.15, and BCS-TIPS prognostic index (BCS-TIPS PI) score was 6.3.\nA contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed non-visualized middle and left hepatic veins, hepatomegaly with hypertrophy of the caudate lobe, splenomegaly, hepatic venous collaterals, and a saccular aneurysm located at the extrahepatic portal vein main branch measuring 3.2 cm in height and 2.5 cm \u00d7 2.4 cm in diameter (Figure \u200b1A).\nThe aneurysm was thought to be associated with BCS as there was no preceding history of trauma and it had not been present on Doppler US examination performed 3 years previously.\nAlthough the patient had no ascites or variceal bleeding, the decision was made to create a TIPS to relieve hepatic venous outflow obstruction because of increasing pain and concern for complications due to aneurysm size; direct approach to the aneurysm was not considered due to risk of associated complications in the setting of portal hypertension, and stent-grafting was not considered due to concerns about patency in the settings of hepatic venous outflow obstruction and underlying thrombophilia.\nAfter informed consent was obtained, the patient was brought to the interventional radiology suite.\nThe procedure was performed with the patient under conscious sedation.\nPortal vein access was obtained via the right hepatic vein under fluoroscopy, and portography showed a saccular aneurysm located at the main portal vein, extensive intrahepatic portal vein thrombosis, and small splenorenal varices (Figure \u200b2A).\nA 10-mm diameter expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) covered stent-graft (Fluency Plus; Bard Peripheral Vascular, Tempe, Arizona, United States) was deployed across the liver parenchymal tract; deploying the stent-graft into the main portal vein trunk to cover the aneurysm neck was not considered because it would obstruct blood flow to the portal vein branches.\nCompletion portography showed a widely patent shunt and markedly decreased aneurysm filling (Figure 2B).\nThe portosystemic pressure gradient (PPG) was decreased from 19 mmHg to 8 mmHg.\nThe patient recovered uneventfully and had complete resolution of her abdominal pain in 2 d.\nShe was discharged on long-term warfarin and remained asymptomatic after 1 year of follow-up.\nMost recent laboratory tests revealed normal liver function, and Doppler US examination performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo postprocedure confirmed a patent shunt.\nHer CP score was 5, MELD score was 8, Rotterdam score was 0.12, and TIPS-BCS PI score was 6.1.\nCT scans showed that the aneurysm had decreased in size to 2.4 cm in height and 2.0 cm \u00d7 1.9 cm in diameter at 3 mo after TIPS (Figure 1B), and had further decreased to 1.9 cm in height and 1.6 cm

vessel that was supplying a large portion of the lateral wall (Figure 1).\nThe patient did well initially, but several hours later she suddenly went into cardiogenic shock.\nAn intra-aortic balloon pump was placed, and an echocardiogram demonstrated that she had severe mitral regurgitation from a ruptured papillary muscle (Figure 2).\nThe patient, on maximal support, deteriorated rapidly with progressive acidosis, oliguria, and florid pulmonary edema.\nIn spite of the very high risk, we decided to intervene surgically.\nOnce in the operating room, transesophageal echocardiography confirmed severe mitral regurgitation with a ruptured anterolateral papillary muscle and a small left atrium.\nShortly after the patient was put on cardiopulmonary bypass, the acidosis resolved and she began to make urine.\nExcellent visualization of the mitral valve was obtained using a vertical transseptal approach through the right atrium.\nThe valve was carefully inspected and the necrotic ruptured anterolateral papillary muscle was seen (Figure 3).\nThere was a large chunk of muscle attached to the A1 chordal apparatus.\nThe anterior leaflet of the mitral valve was excised while keeping the posterior leaflet intact.\nA 27-mm St Jude Epic bioprosthesis was inserted (Figure 4).\nShe was placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation that was successfully weaned 3 days later.\nFollowing this, she made a remarkable early recovery.\nOne month later, just prior to discharge, she expired after developing pneumonia that progressed to sepsis with multiorgan failure.\n", "ner_info": [ {

lower wedge resection was performed in December 2011 and the University of Iowa pathology department identified the tumor as a LCNEC.\nApproximately six months after her operation, our patient started having slowly progressing dysphagia for both solids and liquids.\nA positron emission tomography (PET) scan performed in 2012, one year post surgery, was unremarkable for recurrence or metastasis.\nRepeat computed tomography (CT) in June 2013 (18 months post surgery) did not show any recurrence (Figure 1).\nOur patient had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and barium swallow that revealed no stricture of her esophagus but failure of primary and secondary peristaltic waves and reflux.\nIn July 2013, esophageal manometry found failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, with a residual pressure of 32mmHg.\nOur patient was treated with calcium channel blockers with partial relief.\nThus far, up to 18 months post resection, our patient had been able to maintain her weight and her basic laboratory parameters, including hemoglobin, albumin and cholesterol levels.\nHowever, in January 2014, she reported worsening dysphagia and weight loss of 10lbs over a period of one month.\nShe was referred to our center for further treatment of her achalasia.\nA repeat esophageal manometry showed an elevated lower esophageal sphincter pressure of 50mmHg as well non-propagative, non-peristaltic contractions throughout her esophageal musculature (Figure 2).\nA repeat EGD with an intention to perform therapeutic pneumatic dilation showed a nearly circumferential ulcerated, fungating mass from approximately 36cm that extended to her gastroesophageal junction at 39cm.\nBiopsies revealed a LCNEC with similar features to the primary tumor resected in 2011, and was concluded to be a metastasis.\nSubsequently, a repeat CT scan revealed progressive diffuse metastatic disease.\nOur patient underwent two courses of chemotherapy but died from the disease after six months.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "68-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 18, "end": 29 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 30, "end": 35 }, { "text": "chronic

"full_text": "A woman in her early 70s presented to our emergency room 30\u2005min after her husband expired with 8/10, substernal chest pain with concurrent diaphoresis and dyspnoea.\nThe patient's husband had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest earlier that day and was brought to our emergency room and subsequently admitted to the coronary care unit.\nHe had recurrent ventricular fibrillation and could not be successfully resuscitated.\nThe patient's medical history included hypertension and hypothyroidism.\nShe denied having had a similar episode of pain.\nShe had regular appointments with her primary care physician.\nHer medication included oral furosemide 20\u2005mg and levothyroxine 100\u2005\u00b5g, both once daily.\nShe denied allergies.\nOn presentation, the patient was afebrile, with a blood pressure of 105/55, heart rate of 93\u2005bpm, respiratory rate of 20/min and an oxygen saturation of 98% on room air.\nOn physical examination, she was in significant distress due to pain.\nHer skin was warm and moist, with minimal crackles in bilateral bases, regular rate and rhythm, 2/6 systolic murmur of the apex without radiation, no rubs, elevated jugular vein distention of 8\u2005cm, strong peripheral pulses and no peripheral oedema.\nThe abdomen was soft, non-tender, non-distended, with bowel sounds, and the patient was alert and oriented without focal neurological deficits.\nThe complete blood count, basic metabolic panel and coagulation tests were within normal limits.\nThe cardiac enzymes were increased with a troponin I of 2.59\u2005ng/mL (normal range 0.015\u20130.045\u2005ng/mL), creatine phosphokinase of 84\u2005U/L (normal range 26\u2013192\u2005U/L).\nECG on admission revealed normal sinus rhythm with 2\u20133\u2005mm ST segment elevations in leads V2\u2013V3 and Q waves in leads V1\u2013V3, suggestive of anterior wall infarct (figure 2).\nAn echocardiogram revealed left ventricular ejection fraction of 30\u201335% with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, akinesis of the apex and 2/3 of the inferoseptum and apical inferior-anterior wall segments, suggesting ischaemic damage at the left anterior descending artery distribution versus takotsubo cardiomyopathy (figures 3 and \u200b4).\nThe patient received aspirin 162\u2005mg and prasugrel 60\u2005mg, and was taken to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory.\nThe angiogram showed non-obstructive coronary artery disease with luminal irregularities (figures 5 and \u200b6).\nThe left ventriculography showed an ejection fraction of 35% with akinesis of apical wall and hyperkinesis of basal segments (figures 7 and 8).\nThe patient remained haemodynamically stable and was started on oral heart failure medications, including lisinopril 2.5\u2005mg daily and metoprolol tartrate 12.5\u2005mg two times a day.\nHer pain and shortness of breath resolved and she was discharged home after 48\u2005h of hospitalisation in stable condition.\nA repeat echocardiogram 2\u2005months later showed resolution of her cardiomyopathy and an ejection fraction of 65\u201370%, with normal left ventricular motion.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "woman", "label":

ward with fever, arthralgia and myalgia for one day.\nHe complained of mild dysuria but had normal urine output.\nHe did not have chest pain or shortness of breath.\nFurther inquiry revealed that he was treated for leptospirosis during a febrile illness in the past.\nOn examination, patient was afebrile, anicteric.\nHis blood pressure was 90/60 mmHg and pulse rate 76 bpm.\nRest of the examination was unremarkable.\nInitial investigations performed on the day of admission revealed neutrophil leukocytosis, mild thrombocytopaenia and microscopic haematuria (Table 1).\nRenal function and liver enzymes were within normal limits.\nUrine analysis revealed pus cells 05 \u2013 06 /hpf, red cells 30 \u2013 35 /hpf.\nCRP (C-reactive protein) was 75 mg/dl.\nA clinical diagnosis of leptospirosis was made and he was started on intravenous penicillin in addition to adequate hydration.\nOn the second day of illness, he developed hypotension with tachycardia and dyspnoea.\nECG revealed sinus tachycardia with ST depression in leads V4 \u2013 V6 [Figure 1].\nHis CXR (chest x ray) showed gross cardiomegaly and bilateral pulmonary shadows [Figure 2].\nCVP (central venous pressure) was 16 cmH2O and 2D echocardiogram revealed dilatation of all four chambers, severe global hypokinesia and ejection fraction of 20%.\nTroponin I was 12.77 ng/ml (normal range\u2009<\u20090.40).\nHe was diagnosed to have early and severe myocarditis.\nPatient was transferred to ICU (intensive care unit) as he needed inotropic support.\nIntravenous antibiotics including penicillin, meropenem and levofloxacin were continued.\nPatient was electively ventilated on the 3rd day of illness due to severe respiratory distress.\nOn the same day, he developed rapid atrial fibrillation [Figure 3] unresponsive to digoxin and intravenous amiodarone.\nPlatelet count dropped to 10 \u00d7 103 \u03bc/L and he was given platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding [Table 1].\nWe started intravenous methylprednisolone based on previous studies showing a mortality benefit in severe leptospirosis complicated with myocarditis [11].\nHis serum creatinine increased to 362 \u03bc mol/L by the 5th day of illness and ALT (alanine transaminase) and AST (aspartate transaminase) were markedly elevated up to 2726 U/l and 7438 U/l respectively.\nDengue and Mycoplasma infections were excluded.\nBlood cultures were negative.\nLeptospira IgM antibody performed on the 5th day of illness was positive (IgG negative).\nPatient developed refractory shock and died of persistent ventricular tachycardia

origin.\nHis height was 165 cm and his parents were cousins.\nBoth parents were of normal height and neither showed any minor anomalies of the EvC syndrome spectrum.\nThe patient had two healthy sisters.\nHis morphological features were: (a) normal mouth opening with missing lower incisors (Fig.1); (b) small chest, as determined by a cardiothoracic examination; and (c) disproportionately short extremities with one additional postaxial digit on each hand (Fig.2).\nAlthough no sensory-motor deficit was noted, the patient presented with mild mental retardation.\nGenetic analysis in his early infancy showed a previously reported homozygous nonsense mutation c.1195 C1T, p.Arg399X of EvC2, resulting in loss of function of the protein.(5) His parents were heterozygous carriers of the mutation.\nIn 1998, the patient underwent successful ostium primum atrial septal defect closure through a midsternotomy.\nHe re-presented with embolic cerebral ictus in 2007, and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for common atrial flutter was performed successfully.\nThere were no serious aftereffects.\nDuring a routine examination in 2012, a high-pitched systolic murmur was discovered.\nElectrocardiography showed sinus rhythm with hemiblock and right bundle branch block, while echocardiography revealed a dilated and hypertrophic left ventricle.\nThese abnormalities produced a flow that was directed to the left atrial appendage, leading to severe mitral valve regurgitation.\nThe patient\u2019s systolic pulmonary artery pressure was 50 mmHg and his aortic valve was normal.\nHis medical treatment included ramipril, duloxetine, alprazolam and acenocumarol.\nThe patient was scheduled for mitral valve surgery.\nIn the operating theatre, the patient\u2019s right femoral artery was cannulated.\nA right thoracotomy was performed on the fourth intercostal space and bicaval cannulation was established.\nBoth veins were excluded.\nThe operation used a normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass without cross-clamping of the aorta in the beating heart.\nTo avoid air embolisms, continuous carbon dioxide (CO2) field flooding was applied using a CarbonAid CO2 diffuser (Cardia Innovation AB, Stockholm, Sweden).\nThe attempt to perform a mitral valve repair was unsuccessful and a bileaflet mechanical valve (no.29) was implanted.\nNo complications associated with anaesthesia occurred.\nThe patient\u2019s postoperative recovery was uneventful and he was discharged on postoperative day 10.\nAfter two years of follow-up, echocardiography revealed optimal function of the mitral valve and a decrease in systolic pulmonary artery pressure (30 mmHg).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "38-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 18, "end": 29 }, { "text": "Caucasian", "label":

{ "full_text": "In March 2009, a 21-year-old man was admitted to another institution with symptoms of intermittent fever, headache, polyarthralgias, skin rash over the trunk, and petechiae in the fingers and palms.\nThe patient was previously healthy, had no history of drug abuse, and took no regular medication.\nHe also had no pets and had not traveled recently.\nHe had been in his usual state of health until one month before admission, when intermittent high fever developed (maximum axillary temperature, >39 \u00b0C).\nIn addition, he reported headaches, bilateral and symmetric arthralgia on the wrists and hands (with an inflammatory pattern), petechiae over the palms and fingers, salmon-colored rash on the trunk, nausea, and vomiting.\nAn evanescent, salmon-colored rash was observed on his chest and abdomen, and 2-mm petechiae covered the palms and the fingers.\nNo signs suggested arthritis, and there was no lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly.\nBlood testing showed elevated inflammatory markers (Table II).\nThe electrocardiographic (ECG) and chest radiographic results were normal.\nIbuprofen (1,200 mg/d) and acetaminophen (as needed) were begun and provided symptomatic relief.\nAn extensive evaluation was performed, including blood cultures, viral and bacterial serologic studies, immunologic screening (rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies), and computed tomographic (CT) studies of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and cranium.\nNo significant changes were found.\nHowever, a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed circumferential, mild pericardial effusion (maximal diameter, 8 mm), with no signs of tamponade or other relevant findings.\nA few days later, dyspnea and diffuse chest pain developed.\nThe pain was relieved by chest anteflexion and aggravated by deep inspiration and by lying supine.\nThe patient was hypotensive, tachycardic, and hyperpneic, and he manifested jugular venous distention.\nThe ECG showed sinus tachycardia and diffuse ST-segment elevation (Fig.1), the chest radiograph revealed an enlarged cardiac silhouette (Fig.2), and the inflammatory markers were again elevated (Table II).\nA repeat TTE showed an increase in the pericardial effusion (maximal diameter, 12 mm) (Fig.3) and collapse of the right heart chambers.\nEmergency pericardiocentesis drained 60 mL of serosanguineous fluid.\nWhen repeated, CT of the chest and abdomen revealed mild right and severe left pleural effusion, as well as mild ascites.\nThoracocentesis was then performed, during which 350 mL of serosanguineous pleural fluid was drained.\nBoth heart and lung fluids were exudates that yielded negative microbiologic examination and were unremarkable upon histologic analysis.\nThe diagnosis of AOSD was established, and the patient was medicated with prednisone (0.5 mg/kg/d), with major clinical and laboratory improvement (Table II).\nThere was also ST-segment normalization, and the follow-up echocardiogram showed only mild pericardial effusion (2\u20133 mm), without hemodynamic compromise.\nScreening for autoimmune and infectious disorders was repeated, and no significant changes were found.\nThe patient was discharged from the hospital on a regimen of prednisone.\nThere was a recurrence of pericardial and pleural effusion 2 months after discharge (after corticosteroid weaning and withdrawal), which was resolved by resuming the prednisone therapy.\nTen months after discharge, the patient presented at our institution for a follow-up visit.\nHe was asymptomatic and was maintained on corticosteroid therapy.\nFollow-up ECG and TTE showed no significant changes (Figs.4 and \u200b5).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "March 2009", "label": "DATE", "start": 3, "end": 13 }, { "text": "21-year-old",

presence of any other neurological deficits.\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large prepontine mass with dorsal displacement of the brainstem and a secondary obstructive hydrocephalus due to compression of the aqueduct.\nThe lesion had an inhomogeneous hypointense aspect on the T1-weighted image (T1WI) and an inhomogeneous hyperintense aspect on the T2-weighted image (T2WI).\nAfter administration of IV gadolinium, there was some inhomogeneous enhancement (Fig.1).\nComputed tomography (CT) imaging showed no bone involvement.\nDuring the first operation, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted into the right lateral ventricle to treat the hydrocephalus.\nA careful study of the MRI suggested that this infra- and supratentorially located tumour might be resected through a single approach.\nA left frontotemporal transsylvian approach was performed to gain access to the tumour.\nThe tumour had well-defined margins and was entirely located in the intradural plane.\nThere were no attachments to the cranial nerves or brainstem.\nA macroscopic complete resection was performed.\nPostoperatively, the patient had developed a left oculomotor nerve palsy, which completely recovered within the next 4 weeks.\nThe postoperative MRI showed a complete removal of the tumour (Fig.2).\nAfter careful consideration by a multidisciplinary team, we decided that there was no indication for postoperative radiation therapy.\nAt follow-up one and a half years later, the patient was found to have remained asymptomatic.\nThere were no signs of tumour recurrence on the MRI scan.\nAt a follow-up of more than 6 years after treatment, there were still no signs of tumour recurrence on the MRI scan.\nHistological examination showed a slightly lobulated tumour consisting of a chondromyxoid matrix.\nThe tumour cells showed a vacuolated and pale cytoplasm.\nModerate nuclear polymorphism was observed but no obvious mitotic activity (Fig.3).\nSome calcifications were seen.\nThe tumour cells stained positive for pan-keratin, S-100 and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA).\nThese findings suggest a histopathological diagnosis of chordoma.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

seen, with right hemiparesis developing 6 months beforehand.\nAggravated symptoms (drooping at corner of right lip and bilateral temporal hemianopia) finally prompted hospitalization.\nAt that time, a massive (>5 cm) tumor of intra- and suprasellar location, excluding mesencephalon backward, was seen on computerized tomography (CT) of the head (Fig.1a).\nFurther testing revealed an exceedingly high-serum level of prolactin (PRL) (4408 ng/ml), whereas levels of all other pituitary hormones were within reference ranges (growth hormone (GH), 0.50 ng/ml; luteinizing hormone (LH), 2.60 mIU/ml; follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), 4.57 mIU/ml; adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), 37.4 pg/ml; thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 2.68 \u03bcIU/ml).\nT1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with contrast (gadolinium) showed homogeneous tumor enhancement, but adjacent tissue was not edematous in T2-weighted views.\nThe mass did not regress, despite a 4-week course of the dopamine analog, cabergoline (1 mg/week), and serum PRL level (2207 ng/ml) remained elevated.\nRelative to status at admission, the right lateral ventricle also had enlarged somewhat, due to obstruction at foramen of Monro (Fig.1b).\nIn light of this intransigence, surgical debulking of tumor was elected first, through craniotomy and then via transsphenoidal approach.\nThe hardened elastic quality of the tumor and its strong attachments to neighboring structures prevented complete removal, but related mass effect was significantly reduced and serum PRL level declined (to 250 ng/ml) in steps at each procedural stage.\nBut the normalization of PRL level had not been achieved with the administration of cabergoline increased up to 0.5 mg/day.\nThe residual tumor showed no evidence of regrowth or distant metastasis 1 year after surgery.\nHistopathologically, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections of specimens from the first and second surgical procedures similarly were composed of polygonal and spindle cells with round, oval, or elongated nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm (Fig.2a\u2013c).\nThe cells formed irregular nests or short fascicles, accompanied by frequent hyaline changes in vessel walls and vacuolation (Fig.2d).\nSome nuclear pleomorphism was prominent; on the other hand, neither a high mitotic rate nor necrosis was evident (Fig.2b, c).\nConspicuous fibrous change of tumor stroma was noted focally as well (Fig.3a).\nThe chromophobic nature of tumor cells was confirmed by Pearse\u2019s Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) stain (Fig.3b).\nImmunostains showed strong diffuse positivity for PRL (Fig.3c), chromogranin-A, and synaptophysin.\nNo other hormones (GH, TSH, ACTH, LH, FSH) were expressed by tumor cells, and the other markers, including S-100 protein (Fig.3d), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin AE1/AE3 (CK AE1/AE3), vimentin, p53, and bcl-2, were also negative by immunostaining.\nKi-67 labeling index was approximately 2 %.\nA final diagnosis of PRL-producing pituitary adenoma was reached after considering the immunohistochemical profile, suprasellar location, and prolactin production of the tumor, as well as the absence of metastatic foci and invasion into surrounding tissue.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "25-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "female", "label": "SEX",

presented with a 15-day history of dyspnea on exertion, associated with both lower extremity edema.\nBefore this admission, he also had suffered from abdominal bloating and tasteless for a year with noticeable body weight loss at the same time (up to 20 kg).\nOver the past 6 months, he developed a multiple system disorder, which included painless paresthesias in the lower limbs, erectile dysfunction, and chronic diarrhea.\nHe had an average stool frequency of up to ten times per day, with no obvious blood or mucus and no abdominal pain or tenesmus.\nUnfortunately, previous stomach and rectum biopsy did not examine for accumulations of amyloid fibril protein.\nHis family history was unremarkable.\nOn physical examination, his blood pressure was 82/56 mmHg and heart rate was 52 bpm.\nSignificant jugular venous distention, moderate hepatomegaly, and lower extremity edema were noted.\nA neurological examination revealed weakness and muscular atrophy in the bilateral tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius.\nHyporeflexia was noted on both knees and ankles.\nSensory examination revealed diminished tactile and pain sensation in a stocking and glove pattern and vibratory sensation was distally reduced in the lower limbs.\nThe motor and sensory functions of upper extremities were relatively spared.\nInitial laboratory data that included full blood count, transaminase, creatinine, electrolytes, cardiac troponin, and thyroid function were normal or negative.\nN-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was 3,996 pg/mL.\nNerve conduction studies confirmed bilateral sensory-motor neuropathy (Table 1).\nAn electromyography study demonstrated active denervation and chronic reinnervation changes in the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius.\nElectrocardiogram (ECG) revealed sinus rhythm, low voltages in limb leads, QS waves in precordial and inferior leads, first-degree atrioventricular block, and prolonged QTc (Figure 1).\nTwo-dimensional echocardiography revealed marked concentrically thickened and speckled appearance of ventricular walls, biatrial dilatation, and left ventricular ejection fraction of 70% (Figure 2).\nDoppler revealed a severe restrictive mitral filling pattern with E/A ratio 2.1.\nCoronary angiography findings were normal.\nThe combined occurrence of low QRS voltage in the ECG, ventricular thickening, and signs of diastolic dysfunction is strongly suggestive of cardiac amyloidosis.\nThe following serum \u03bb light-chain concentration was 1,763 (normal range: 598\u20131,329 mg/dL, and \u03ba light-chain concentration was normal.\nRectum biopsy confirmed amyloid infiltrate (Figure 3).\nSo, the diagnosis of AL amyloidosis was established.\nDespite chemotherapy administration of melphalan, dexamethasone, immunomodulator lenalidomide, and supportive therapy including montmorillonite to decrease diarrhea and low-dose furosemide to alleviate fluid retention, the patient continued to deteriorate and died at home after 3 months after the initial diagnosis.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "62-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "male", "label":

abdomen showed a defect in the suprarenal segment of the inferior vena cava and direct drainage of the hepatic vein into the right atrium.\nAfter consultation with the thoracic surgery department clinicians and the anaesthesiology department, we decided to perform a McKeown oesophagectomy.\nThe patient was anaesthetised with a double-lumen tube and underwent a standard posterolateral thoracotomy by traditional open surgery.\nWe first performed the jugular and femoral vein percutaneous puncture to create a veno-venous bypass and then connected the pressure sensor system to the monitor.\nThe monitor displayed the real-time pressure value of the jugular vein and the femoral vein.\nMacroscopically, the diameter of the azygos arch was approximately 2.5 cm (Fig.1c), and the superior edge of the tumour adhered tightly to the arch of the azygos vein.\nWhen the arch of the azygos vein was pulled with a rubber hose to dissociate it from the carcinoma, the monitor showed that the femoral vein pressure increased to 52 mmH2O; the pressure returned to a normal value when we opened the bypass between the femoral vein and the jugular vein (Fig.2).\nThe surgery was performed smoothly, without injury to the azygos vein, and the postoperative recovery was uneventful.\nThe pathology of the resected specimen showed a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and no evidence of malignancy in 15 of the lymph nodes.\nAfter 5 months of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic, with no evidence of recurrent disease either clinically or on CT.\n", "ner_info": [ {

(Fig.1) and a semi-circumferential deep ulcer with irregular borders on the opposite mucosa (Fig.2).\nDuring endoscopy a pedicle was not identify by handling a polipectomy snare around the esophageal mass.\nUpper gastrointestinal series with gastrografin (Fig.3) revealed an ovoid lacunar image at the distal part of the esophagus esophageal, inhomogeneous, with calcifications and smooth contours.\nDuring peristalsis the image was mobile and no pedicle was identified.\nThe esophageal lumen was enlarged with a diverticula development at the posterior wall.\nAlso computer tomography of the thorax excluded a pedunculated tumor, describing an intra-luminal calcified esophageal mass (Fig.4).\nThe biopsies obtained from the esophageal ulcerated mucosa revealed inflammatory cells, without malignancy.\nBased on these endoscopic and imagistic results a bezoar was supposed to have been developed in an esophageal diverticula, subsequently with ulcerated mucosa.\nThe esophageal mass was removed with an endoscopic snare in one piece, as the fragmentation was not physically possible.\nThe macroscopic appearance revealed a 4 cm, globular mass, heterogeneous, dense, whitish, in places with harsh yellow foci, most likely dystrophic calcification.\nThe macroscopic examination on cross section revealed a light gray aspect (fibrous appearance) that includes multiple harsh yellow-orange structures, difficult to section (Fig.5).\nThis mass was immersed into trichloracetic acid for decalcification.\nMicroscopic examination revealed hyaline fibrous tissue (Fig.6a), stained in green in Tricrom Mason (Fig.6b), with numerous crystalline basophils deposits of minerals, rare fibrocytes and very few vessels.\nThe presence of capillary structures, rare fibroblasts and collagen fibers brought in discussion a mesenchymal originating mass, most likely a fibrovascular polyp.\nA definitive histological diagnosis was not possible, as the pedicle was not identified, but the presence of the connective tissue suggested the previous presence of a pedicle into the lesion.\nThe long term calcium tablets intake might explain the calcification process developed into the vascular-connective tissue, revealed on histology by the numerous crystalline basophils deposits of minerals.\nOne month later the patient was asymptomatic.\nThe endoscopy did not revealed an enlarged esophagus, the appearance of the esophageal mucosa was normal (without ulcerations) and no diverticula was identified.\nNo motility disturbances were found on esophageal manometry.\nBased on the clinical course, the history of calcium lactate intake and histological appearance a diagnosis of an esophageal benign mesenchymal originating mass (most probably a fibrovascular polyp) auto-amputated

in pulmonary auscultation.\nCardiovascular examination showed neither cardiac murmur nor signs of right heart failure.\nECG on admission showed normal sinus rhythm, with heart rate of 125 bpm and extended ST-elevation in anterior territory.\nLaboratory results demonstrated Troponin I level of 6.41 ng/ml, creatinine kinase (CKMB) was 67 UI/L, Lactate deshydrogenase was 281 UI/L, glucose level 2.70 g/l, urea 0.40 g/l and creatinine 18.6 mg / L.\nThe patient was intubated and sedated, inotropic agents were started (norepinephrine 0.4\u00b5g/kg/min and dobutamine 20\u00b5g/kg/min).\nChest X-rays showed diffuse alveolar syndrome.\nTransthoracic echocardiography revealed wall motion abnormalities namely extensive akinesis of anteroseptal, anterior, lateral and inferior walls, and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction of 29%).\nMedical management was initiated; anticoagulant therapy for acute coronary syndrome was started (500 mg of acetylsalicylic acid and subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin (0.6ml of enoxaparin)) and patient was prepared for myocardial revascularization by coronary angioplasty.\nBecause of non-improvement of neurological status and occurrence of seizures, a brain CT was indicated and revealed infratentorial diffuse hemorrhage (Fisher grade III) (Figure 1).\nCerebral angiography confirmed a dissecting aneurysm of an anastomotic branch between left PICA and the V4 segment of left vertebral artery Figure 2 that was successfully embolized.\nAfter 24 hours, the patient improved with withdrawal of vasoactive drugs in 24 hours.\nLeft hemicorporeal seizures persisted despite anticonvulsant treatment.\nControl brain CT did not report rebleeding and angiography showed complete exclusion of the aneurysm while the EEG revealed a diffuse brain damage.\n10 days after admission, the patient was discharged in stable condition but still suffers from amnesia.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "58-year-old", "label": "AGE",

of massive gum bleeding for 1 day.\nThe patient had a history of chronic hepatitis C.\nPEG-IFN-\u03b1-2a (180\u200a\u03bcg) plus ribavirin (1200\u200amg/day) were prescribed to the patient since March 17, 2014.\nHe denied any autoimmune conditions before treatment.\nThe baseline virological data revealed high virus load (HCV RNA 2.1\u200a\u00d7\u200a106\u200aIU/mL) with genotype 1b.\nRapid virological response was not achieved at the fourth week (HCV RNA: 2.12\u200a\u00d7\u200a106\u200aIU/mL).\nPartial early virological response (HCV RNA: 103\u200aIU/mL at week 12) and delayed virological response (HCV RNA: <15\u200aIU/mL at Week 24) were noted.\nHowever, fatigue, anemia, and depression syndrome were progressed at 30th week.\nThe patient requested to stop treatment at Week 36.\nThe viral load at the end-of-treatment (EOT) was undetectable.\nThe platelet count at EOT was 92\u200a\u00d7\u200a103\u200acells/\u03bcL and elevated to 159\u200a\u00d7\u200a103\u200acells/\u03bcL 1 week later.\nTwo weeks following EOT, the patient developed massive gum bleeding.\nThe physical examination showed the multiple petechiae on the extremities.\nThere is no sign of intracerebral hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, or other internal bleeding.\nThe initial platelet count was 4\u200a\u00d7\u200a103cells/\u03bcL.\nCoagulation profile showed normal prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, d-dimer, and fibrin degradation product.\nPeripheral blood smear showed neither fragmented red blood cells, helmet cells nor abnormal platelet aggregation.\nConcomitant autoimmune connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus or cryoglobulinemia were excluded due to negative anti-nuclear antibody and cryoglobulin except for positive anti-cardiolipin IgG (116 GPL, normal range <20 GPL) and anti-phospholipid IgG (165\u200aU, normal range <15\u200aU).\nAnti-phospholipid syndrome was excluded due to no previous thromboembolic events, according to 2006 Sapporo criteria.12 Bone marrow biopsy was also performed, which revealed hypocellular marrow with even cellular distribution and without evidence of lymphoid neoplasia.\nThe potential drugs that may cause platelet lysis were ruled out.\nBlood transfusion of platelet was performed, but poor response with rapid decline of platelet count in the next day of transfusion.\nA diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura was made.\nWe started intravenous methylprednisolone therapy (40\u200amg, 3 times daily) on November 27 combined with platelet transfusion treatments.\nIt still showed no significant improvement.\nAzathioprine (100\u200amg, oral, once daily) was added since December 3.\nHydroxychloroquine (400\u200amg, oral, once daily) was also prescribed due to positive anti-phospholipid antibodies.\nPlatelet count gradually increased to 93\u200a\u00d7\u200a103\u200acells/\u03bcL 17 days after admission, so methylprednisolone was changed to oral form and slowly tapered off.\nOn December 15, the patient was discharged due to stable condition with platelet counts elevating to 117\u200a\u00d7\u200a103\u200acells/\u03bcL (Figure \u200b1).\nFollowed laboratory data after 5 months revealed sustained virologic response, platelet count above 150\u200a\u00d7\u200a103\u200acells/\u03bcL, and decreased anti-cardiolipin IgG (30.5GPL) and anti-phospholipid IgG (73.21\u200aU) levels.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "53-year-old", "label": "AGE",

changes, generalised weakness and deteriorating mobility.\nHer medical history included a 10-year history of schizo-affective disorder, lithium-induced diabetes insipidus and hypothyroidism.\nHer medications included sodium valproate 1\u2005g twice daily, carbamazepine, quetiapine and lithium.\nOn admission, the patient was drowsy, difficult to rouse (sleeping all night and in the afternoon).\nHer Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 14/15, her abbreviated mini-mental test score was 6/10 and she was noted to be slow in her responses.\nNeurological examination showed reduced power in her lower limbs (3\u20134/5) in a pyramidal distribution, and brisk reflexes with intact sensation in all modalities.\nCardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal examinations were unremarkable and there were no demonstrable features of hepatic disease.\nRoutine biochemistry was unremarkable.\nThe patient's alanine transaminase was 7\u2005u/L (1\u201315), alkaline phosphatase 61\u2005u/L (30\u2013130), \u03b3-glutamyl transferase 17\u2005u/L (<45) and bilirubin was 6\u2005\u03bcmol/L (<21).\nShe had normal serum B12 and folate levels, and normal thyroid function tests.\nSerum lithium levels were within the therapeutic range.\nHer serum ammonia was 47\u2005\u03bcmol/L (11.2\u201335.4) and valproate concentrations were elevated 140\u2005mg/L (50\u2013100).\nBrain imaging including CT and MRI did not show any haemorrhage or intracranial mass.\nLumbar puncture demonstrated clear cerebrospinal fluid (white cell count <1\u00d7106/L, protein 0.25\u2005g/L (0.2\u20130.4)).\nEEG demonstrated mild variable slowing and irregularity of background activity (likely due to medication).\nThe differential diagnosis included encephalitis, Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), which were excluded through our investigations.\nIn view of the raised valproate and ammonia levels, a diagnosis of valproate hyperammonaemic encephalopathy (VHE) was made at this point\nThe dose of sodium valproate was reduced by half rather than being completely withdrawn.\nThis was due to the complex and challenging nature of managing the patient's schizo-affective disorder.\nWithin 3\u2005days, there was evident clinical improvement in her mental status.\nThe patient was able to sit and communicate with the team, and her abbreviated mental test score improved to 10/10.The serum ammonia normalised and valproate levels decreased to the therapeutic range.\nAfter 4\u2005days she was discharged home.\nResults of investigations of her urea cycle were awaited.\nThree weeks postdischarge, the patient was clinically stable in terms of mental functioning, having had no further episodes of confusion or drowsiness.\nHowever, she continued to have fatigue and walking difficulties (due to residual leg weakness).\nResults of her serum amino acids revealed that our patient had carnitine deficiency evident by low acyl-carnitine, low free serum carnitine (14.2\u2005\u03bcmol/L, normal range: 23\u201352) and low total serum carnitine (19.9\u2005\u03bcmol/L, normal range: 27\u201363).\nShe was started on oral carnitine 1\u2005g twice

ultrasound scan.\nFine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed a follicular lesion.\nAt the time of our evaluation, the patient was in good health.\nThe medical history revealed hypertension, vitiligo, and celiac disease.\nOn physical examination, a small nodule (1 cm) was palpable in the right thyroid lobe.\nNo enlarged neck lymph nodes were palpable.\nNeck ultrasound showed a 1.3 cm hypoechoic nodule with irregular margins in the right thyroid lobe together with bilateral small thyroid nodules (4\u20135 mm) and the absence of enlarged cervical bilateral lymph nodes.\nThyroid function tests were normal with the absence of thyroid autoantibodies.\nSerum calcium was normal (9.7 mg/dl; normal range, 8.4\u201310.4 mg/dL) and PTH, routinely measured together with serum calcium in our Center in patients undergoing thyroid surgery, slightly elevated (68 pg/mL (intact PTH, 2nd generation assay; normal range, 10\u201365 pg/mL)).\nThe re-review of the original slides of FNAC confirmed a follicular lesion.\nIn particular, the cytology of the nodule showed epithelial cells with hyperchromatic nuclei organized in small cohesive clusters resembling microfollicles typically observed in thyroid follicular lesions were evident (Fig.1a).\nThe patients underwent right lobectomy.\nDuring neck exploration, there were no macroscopic signs of local invasion.\nThe intraoperative frozen-section pathological examination raised the suspicion of a PC.\nDefinitive histology showed a markedly irregular infiltrative growth of the tumor with invasion of the thyroid tissue and cervical soft tissues (Fig.1b, c).\nImmunostaining for thyroglobulin was negative, whereas staining for chromogranin A and PTH showed a strong reactivity (Fig.1d\u2013f).\nBased on the light microscopic findings and the immunohistochemical profile, the tumor was diagnosed as a PC.\nPostoperative serum calcium (8.7 mg/dl) and phosphate (3 mg/dl) levels were in the normal range.\nOne month after surgery, serum calcium and plasma PTH were 9.6 mg/dL and 47 pg/mL, respectively.\nNeck ultrasound and total body computed tomography scan were negative for local and metastatic disease.\nEight months later, serum calcium and plasma PTH levels were 9.1\u20139.2 mg/dl and 38\u201344 pg/ml (1\u201384 PTH 3rd generation assay, normal range, 8\u201340 pg/mL), respectively.\nNeck ultrasound did not show any pathological lesions.\nIn order to exclude a familiar form of PHPT, in which PC may rarely occur as a nonfunctioning tumor [11], the screening of serum calcium and neck ultrasound in the first-degree relatives was normal.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "50-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 18 }, { "text": "admitted",

clinic with a mass on his left hip.\nHe had diabetes and alcoholic hepatitis.\nOn physical examination, a large mass measuring 10 cm in diameter was observed on his hip and an approximate 5 cm left inguinal lymph node was palpable (Figure \u200b1).\nSerum tumor markers, including CEA and CA 19-9, were within normal limits, whereas serum amylase (227 IU/L, normal range 43-116 IU/L), lipase (378 IU/L, normal range 7-60), fasting blood sugar (144 mg/dL, normal range, 70-100 mg/dL), and liver function test levels [including aspartate aminotransferase (178 IU/L, normal range, 7-38 IU/L), alanine aminotransferase (225 IU/L; normal range, 4-43 IU/L), and serum alkaline phosphatase (370 IU/L, normal range, 103-335 IU/L)] were all above normal ranges.\nAn abdominal computerized tomography (CT) scan demonstrated not only a left hip mass and an enlarged left inguinal lymph node, but also a huge heterogeneous enhancing mass on the body of the pancreas (Figure \u200b2).\nOn a PET scan, additional metastases were not found.\nWe planned a staged surgery and performed a hip and inguinal mass excision on December 19, 2014.\nThe histopathological report revealed a metastatic small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma with a maximal diameter of 10.5 cm on the buttock mass and a 7 cm growth on an inguinal lymph node.\nThe mitotic index was over 50 mitoses per 50 HPF and the Ki-67 index measured at 50%.\nOn January 21, 2015, we performed a total pancreatectomy and a total gastrectomy, with the findings revealing a tumor of the body of the pancreas about 9 cm \u00d7 6 cm in diameter involving the left gastric artery, splenic artery, and splenic vein.\nThe histopathological report was the same as that of a metastatic lesion.\nAdditionally, the tumor had spread to 8 of the 32 lymph nodes (Figure \u200b3).\nOn the 7th post-operative day, the patient developed a high fever and leukocytosis.\nWe administered an abdominal CT scan, which revealed infected fluid collection in the lesser sac and a 4.7 cm-sized recurring mass which was detected at the operative bed of the left hip (Figure \u200b(Figure4).4).\nAfter infection of the abdominal cavity was treated by antibiotics, we removed the left hip recurring mass on February 3, 2015.\nThe histopathology was the same as in the previous report; with a maximum diameter of 7.5 cm.\nThe patient was discharged without other complications on February 9, 2015.\nHe is currently receiving chemotherapy based on etoposide and cisplatin treatment.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "60-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13

was 110/60mmHg, heart rate was 98bpm, axillary temperature was 35\u00b0C, she was severely dehydrated and with decreased peripheral perfusion.\nThe laboratory examinations revealed hemoglobin 12.3g/dL, leukocytes 13\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/mL, platelets 97\u2009\u00d7\u2009103/mm3, international nationalized ratio (INR) 6.9, fibrinogen 98mg/dL, total bilirubin 14.2mg/dL, serum creatinine 3.4mg/dL, serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 306U/L, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALP) 302U/L, arterial bicarbonate 11mEq/L, arterial pH 7.21, blood glucose 65mg/dL and ionic calcium 1.02mmol/L.\nAn abdominal ultrasound depicted fatty infiltration of the liver and confirmed fetal viability.\nOur patient received an initial fluid load with crystalloids.\nThe calcium, glucose and hypothermia were reversed.\nThe diagnosis of AFLP was confirmed following the Swansea\u2019s criteria [9].\nTherefore, a cesarean section was indicated.\nA thromboelastometry (ROTEM\u00ae, Pentapharm Co., Munich, Germany) was performed at the beginning of the surgery.\nThe thromboelastometry analysis showed an intense kinetic and structural hypocoagulable state (Fig.1 and Table 1).\nThe FIBTEM revealed an impairment in fibrinogen function quality while the EXTEM depicted a coagulation factor deficiency (Fig.1a-c and Table 1).\nBased on, respectively, FIBTEM maximum clot firmness (MCF) (0mm; Table 1) and EXTEM clotting time (CT) (228s; Table 1), 4.0g of fibrinogen concentrate (Haemocomplettan\u00ae P, CSL Behring, Marburg, Germany) and 1000UI of prothrombin complex concentrate (Beriplex\u00ae P/N 500UI, CSL Behring, Marburg, Germany) were administered at the beginning of the cesarean section.\nThe fluid input (crystalloids) and output during the caesarian section were, respectively, 2000mL and 200mL.\nThe cesarean section succeeded with no major bleeding after the hemostatic therapy.\nAdditional hemocomponent transfusion, such as fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate, platelets or blood concentrates, was not necessary.\nA second thromboelastometry analysis was performed at the end of surgery (Fig.1d-e and Table 1), showing a mild hypocoagulation state.\nThe patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and remained stable, with no bleeding during the recovery phase.\nShe was discharged from the ICU 3 days after admission and then 3 days later she was discharged from the hospital.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "previously healthy", "label": "HISTORY", "start": 24, "end": 42 }, { "text": "28-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 43,

hypertensive (180/100 mm Hg) which normalized after a few minutes without treatment.\nIn post-partum, after 12 hours of the caesarian section the lady presented a severe headache with apyrexia then she developed three episodes of generalized tonico-clonic convulsions.\nThe 1st convulsion ceased 1 min after the measures of resuscitation and injection of diazepam IV.\nThe post-critical clinical examination found an afebrile patient and blood pressure at 140/90 mmHg and with Glasgow coma scale at 14 without any neurological deficit, there was no neck rigidity, diuresis was preserved.\nThe examination of urines by urinary strip was positive (+ + +).\nThe 2nd and 3th convulsive crisis stoped spontaneously within few seconds.\nLaboratory findings of HELLP syndrome include raised liver enzymes (ASAT 525 IU/L and ALAT 214 IU/L), hemolysis (hemoglobinemia in 7 mg/dl) and low platelet count (44 000 platelet/mL).\nOther investigations included the renal function tests, the inflammatory markers, the thyroid hormones were normal.\nThe viral serology was negative.\nThe patient was transferred to intensive care unit; she was treated immediately by magnesium sulfate associated to calcium channel blocker (nicardipine), antiepileptic (phenobarbital) and preventive dose of low molecular weight heparin.\nThe anemia and thrombopenia corrected by transfusion of packed red blood cells and platelet respectively.\nThe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), realized one hour after the first episode of convulsion showed zones in hyposignal T1, hypersignal T2 and flair sequences, interesting the cerebral cortex, parietal and occipital sub-cortical and the white matter.\nIntracranial venous sinuses were permeable.\nThe diagnosis of the PRES syndrome secondary to the severe preeclampsia immediate post-partum was retained (Figure 1).\nThe electroencephalogram (EEG) realized in the second day did not showed anomaly.\nThe evolution was marked by the normalization of blood pressure, the normalization of the neurological state and of the biological analysis.\nThe patient discharged in good condition on day 5, with beta-blocker and sodium valproate maintained during three months.\nTHE

tumor followed by systemic chemotherapy (Vincristine, Lomustine, Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide), and craniospinal radiation (2,340 cGy) with boost to the posterior fossa (total dose 5,900 cGy).\nCis-RA was subsequently administered for eleven, 14-day cycles (180mg/m2 per day), over a 13-month period for a cumulative dose of 17,360 mg (24,640 mg/m2).\nShe completed medulloblastoma therapy at age 5.6 years.\nAt age 6 years, she was diagnosed with radiation-induced central hypothyroidism and growth hormone deficiency (GHD).\nShe was treated with levothyroxine with subsequent biochemical euthyroidism.\nGiven tumor remission status and an abnormal height velocity of 0.94 cm/year, growth hormone (GH) therapy was initiated at age 7 years (0.3 mg/kg/week) with subsequent increased height velocity of 3.6 cm growth/seven months; however, seven months after initiation of GH, increased bony prominence was noted at wrists and knees, concomitant with declining height velocity (1.6 cm growth/five months).\nPhysical examination and radiographs were significant for leg length discrepancy: the right lower extremity measured 1.75 cm shorter than the left (right femur 24.9 cm, right tibia 19.6 cm, right lower extremity 44.5 cm, left femur 25.25 cm, left tibia 21 cm, and left lower extremity 46.25 cm).\nPrior to initiation of GH, height (102 cm) (Figure 1) and armspan (102 cm) were similar, with upper segment/lower segment ratio of one; seven months after GH, height increased minimally (105.6 cm) compared to the more significant increase in armspan (109.2 cm), with upper segment/lower segment ratio remaining at one.\nRadiographs revealed poorly visualized growth plates in both distal and proximal femurs and tibias (Figure 2A-B), raising concern for premature closure of the physes.\nThis lower limb growth plate closure would normally be observed at the time of late-stage puberty.\nBy contrast, all bone ages using left hand and wrist radiographs over the preceding two years displayed open growth plates (Figure 2C-D).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "9 year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 15, "end": 25 }, { "text": "Caucasian", "label":

for 2 hours.\nThe patient was diagnosed hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier for several years and non-alcoholics.\nNo other specific personal and familial medical history was noted.\nInitial blood pressure was 100/60 mmHg, pulse rate 70/min, respiration rate 20/min, body temperature 37.5\u2103.\nThe laboratory findings were white blood cell 12,000/mm3 (poly: 70%), hemoglobin 12.8 g/dL, platelet 198,000/mm3, prothrombin time 14.3 seconds, international normalized ratio 1.11, aspartate aminotransferase 22 IU/L, alanine aminotransferase 12 IU/L, total bilirubin 0.5 mg/dL, alkaline phosphatase 134 IU/L, lactate dehydrogenase 295 IU/L, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase 26 IU/L, protein/albumin 6.4/4.0 g/dL, uric acid 5.0 mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen/creatinine 16.6/0.7 mg/dL.\nAnd serum viral markers were HBsAg (+), anti-HBs (-), anti-HBc (+), HBeAg (-), anti-HBe (+), HBV-DNA <20 IU/mL, anti-HCV (-) and anti-HIV (-).\nThe patient's serum \u03b1-fetoprotein (AFP) was 676.5 ng/mL and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) <0.6 U/mL.\nShe took an abdominal CT scan, which showed a 9 cm sized necrotic mass with internal hemorrhage at the right hepatic lobe and ruptured to peritoneum (Fig.1A), so an emergency hepatic central bisectionectomy was done (Fig.2A).\nThe initial histological diagnosis was cHCC-CC with spindle cell metaplasia of cholangiocarcinoma element (Fig.2B).\nThe serum AFP was decreased to 7.67 ng/mL at time of discharge.\nRegarding as cHCC-CC, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with tegafur/uracil (UFT) was administrated for 3 months.\n3 months later, follow-up abdominal CT scanning showed previously unseen a 5.5 cm sized left subphrenic mass with mild enhancement in delayed image (Fig.3A, B) and AFP was increased to 312.06 ng/mL.\nShe underwent laparoscopic splenectomy with mass excision.\nOn histologic examination, mesenchymal elements consisted of a proliferation of primitive-appearing mesenchymal spindle-shaped cells, intimately admixed with the epithelial elements in a highly cellular pattern.\nCytoplasm was more abundant than that of mature fibroblasts, and the nucleus was elongated and plump.\nThese cells blended progressively with areas of less intense cellular mesenchymal proliferation, and with relatively acellular, fibrous septa.\nOsteoid was present either within the primitive mesenchyme, near the fibrous septa or pseudocapsule, or admixed within the epithelial elements.\nOsteoid foci contained cells morphologically identical to osteoblasts (Fig.4A).\nThe immunohistochemistry stains showed expression of hepatocyte, \u03b2-HCG, AFP, vimentin, CK7, CK19, CD56 and \u03b2-catenin and negativity for CEA.(Fig.4B, C, D, E, F, G).\nMetastatic hepatoblastoma was confirmed by histologic examination with immunohistochemistry stains, so immunohistochemistrically re-examination of previous surgical specimens was also confirmed as hepatoblastoma.\nFollow-up abdominal CT scan performed 1 month after reoperation showed a newly onset 1.7 cm sized subtle enhancing soft tissue mass in splenic bed, and positron emission tomography (PET) showed multiple FDG uptake(max SUV > 3.80) in left upper and lower quadrant area of abdomen, paralumbar area including right subphrenic area (Fig.5A, B, C).\nFollow-up AFP was 162.69 ng/mL.\nSystemic chemotherapy started with cisplatin (60 mg/m2), 5-fluorourasil (5-FU) (600 mg/m2), vincristine (1.5 mg/m2) and total 3 cycles of chemotherapy were done every 4 week.\nEntecavir 0.5 mg was also started for chemoprophylaxis of CHB.\nAfter the 3rd chemotherapy cycle, follow-up abdominal CT and PET scan showed progression of multiple intraperitoneal metastasis with large amount of intraperitoneal fluid (Fig.6A, B) and follow-up AFP was further increased to 254 ng/mL.\nSo chemotherapy regimen was changed to carboplatin (350 mg/m2) with doxorubicin (30 mg/m2) every 3 weeks.\nThe patient experienced neutropenia after the new regimen, but recovered shortly after treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).\nAfter second carboplatin with doxorubicin chemotherapy, follow-up AFP was increased 1510.19 ng/mL, but abdominal CT scan showed that amount of ascites was decreased (Fig.7).\nBecause of radiologic improvements, third and fourth chemotherapy were performed.\nAfter 4th chemotherapy, follow-up abdominal CT revealed progression of multiple intraperitoneal metastatic masses, newly developed hepatic metastasis and large amount of intraperitoneal fluid (Fig.8).\nA diagnostic paracentesis was performed and showed white blood cell 310/mm3 (poly 20%, lymph 80%), protein 3.6 g/dL and albumin 2.3 g/dL on ascitic fluid analysis.\nThe serum albumin was 3.1 g/dL and serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) was 0.8 g/dL.\nThe AFB stain and culture were all negative in ascitic fluid.\nThe AFP was 6881.93 ng/mL on serum.\nRegarded as peritoneal carcinomatosis, the patient underwent conservative treatments including the use of repeated therapeutic paracentesis for 1 month before death.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "36-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "female", "label": "SEX",

with type IIb VHL, with known multiple retinal angiomas, pancreatic cysts, and spinal and cerebellar hemangioblastomas.\nShe was admitted to our hospital complaining of progressive dyspnea and palpitations.\nOn examination, her blood pressure was 159/119 mm Hg and her pulse was 123 bpm.\nPhysical examination revealed a systolic murmur at the mitral focus with irradiation to the axilla and pulmonary rales.\nElectrocardiography revealed no remarkable findings, except for sinus tachycardia.\nLaboratory tests showed an elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and chest X-ray showed signs of pulmonary interstitial edema.\nThe patient was admitted to the Department of Cardiology with the diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure.\nTransthoracic echocardiography showed a dilated left ventricle with severely depressed ejection fraction due to generalized hypokinesia and a mild mitral regurgitation (fig.1a).\nDuring admission, the patient had several episodes of paroxysmal dyspnea despite treatment with \u03b2-blockers and diuretics.\nDue to the clinical suspicion of adrenal gland disease, 24-hour urinary catecholamine and metanephrine tests were requested.\nCardiac MRI was performed in order to complete the cardiomyopathy study, and confirmed the echocardiographic findings as well as revealed an incidental finding of a great left renal mass.\nThe 24-hour urine laboratory tests showed markedly elevated levels of norepinephrine, total catecholamines, normetanephrine and metanephrine with normal epinephrine values: 24-hour norepinephrine 468 \u03bcg (normal range: 23-105), 24-hour epinephrine 13 \u03bcg (normal range: 4-20), 24-hour total catecholamines 658 \u03bcg (normal range: 217-575), 24-hour normetanephrine 2,988 \u03bcg (normal range: 105-354), 24-hour total metanephrine 3,013 \u03bcg (normal range: 0-1,000).\nTherefore, an abdominal MRI was performed, which showed the presence of two cystic masses (fig.2) located at the left hypochondrium.\nSurgical resection of both masses was performed (after \u03b1-blockade with phenoxybenzamine and \u03b2-blockade with propranolol) through a laparoscopic approach, confirming the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and clear cell renal carcinoma on histology.\nDuring follow-up, blood pressure and heart rate values normalized (124/77 mm Hg, 78 bpm), 24-hour urinary catecholamine values returned to normal range (norepinephrine 69 \u03bcg/24 h, total catecholamine 221 \u03bcg/24 h, normetanephrine 202 \u03bcg/24 h and total metanephrine 259 \u03bcg/24 h) and the patient had no new episodes of palpitations or dyspnea.\nSix months after surgical resection, echocardiography was repeated and showed a left ventricle with normal diameters and preserved ejection fraction (fig.1b).\nGenetic analysis revealed a germline mutation (exon 3 deletion) of the VHL tumor suppressor gene on the short arm of chromosome 3.\nAs the patient had no family history of VHL, it was concluded that it was a de novo mutation.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "22-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 25, "end": 36 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 37, "end": 42 }, {

sinuses showed a lobulated, expansile lytic lesion of left maxilla [Fig 1] with a lucent center and peripheral calcifications.\nThe lesion was associated with a large soft tissue component that demonstrated mild heterogeneous contrast enhancement.\nThe lesion was centered at the left maxillary alveolus, involving the left hard palate, inferior part of the anterior left maxillary wall and medial left maxillary wall.\nThe lesion also involved the roots of the left maxillary molars and pre-molars and was abutting the left orbital floor, with no gross orbital invasion.\nThe patient subsequently underwent 18-FDG PET-CT study.\nThe mass centered in left maxilla was hypermetabolic, with index SUVmax 9.7 [Fig 2].\nThere was no FDG-avid metastatic disease.\nA trans-oral incisional biopsy of the left palatal mass was performed and was suggestive of a preliminary diagnosis of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, as evidenced by a biphasic pattern featuring sheets of small round cells with hemangiopericytoma-like vascular pattern and mature cartilaginous islands.\nThe patient underwent left subtotal maxillectomy via lateral rhinotomy and translabial approach.\nThe final histology was conclusive of a 5cm high-grade (Grade 3) mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.\nOne of the resection margins was positive for tumor involvement and the patient was planned for adjuvant chemotherapy.\n",

progressive dyspnea of one month's duration.\nMedical History.\nHis medical history included blunt chest trauma, the result of an accidental fall from scaffolding 15 months earlier.\nHe had fallen approximately 8 feet and had landed on the right side of his back and on his right shoulder.\nThe patient had sustained bilateral pneumothorax, right iliopsoas muscle hematoma, multiple right costal fractures, fracture of the L3 vertebral body and the transverse process, and displaced fractures of the right clavicle.\nThat hospitalization had lasted 40 days, during which time the clinicians had not detected any murmur or requested a cardiac evaluation.\nThe patient returned to normal activities 4 weeks after discharge from the hospital and remained asymptomatic for one year.\nUpon his arrival at our department, auscultation revealed bibasilar rales and a pansystolic murmur.\nChest radiography showed mild lung congestion; and transthoracic echocardiography, limited by suboptimal acoustic windows, revealed severe, eccentric mitral regurgitation.\nThe valvular and subvalvular apparatus appeared to be structurally normal, and the left atrium was only mildly dilated.\nThe patient was treated with intravenous diuretics until the signs and symptoms of congestion were relieved.\nCoronary angiography revealed an absence of substantial coronary disease.\nWe therefore planned an elective surgical procedure for mitral valve repair.\nSurgical Procedure.\nDuring intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), we observed both a trivial central mitral regurgitant jet and a severe perivalvular regurgitant jet, this last originating from a ventriculoatrial fistulous communication behind the P1 scallop (Fig.1).\nFurther examination confirmed the absence of structural disease involving the mitral leaflets or subvalvular apparatus.\nAfter surgical exposure of the mitral valve, a small tear (length, 6\u20137 mm) could be seen behind the posterior leaflet, in a lateral position, involving also the annulus and the left atrial wall.\nThe absence of leaflet abnormalities or vegetations suggested the posttraumatic origin of the perivalvular leak.\nValvular repair was successfully achieved by direct suture of the tear with three 5-0 Prolene stitches and by the subsequent insertion of a 30-mm mitral annuloplasty ring.\nThe patient was extubated the next day and his postsurgical course was uncomplicated.\nOne year later, he was asymptomatic, and his one-year follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed the excellent result of his surgical treatment.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "A 49-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 0, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text": "no history of cardiac disease",

obesity presented to our institution with a complaint of progressive fatigue with moderate to light exertion of approximately 1 year\u2019s duration.\nDuring that period, he had undergone myocardial perfusion scintigraphy without evidence of obstructive ischemic disease.\nHe had no clinical evidence of systolic heart failure.\nHe had undergone biological mitral valve replacement 3 years previously for mitral valve stenosis and had undergone ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia 18 months previously.\nAt the time of valve replacement, there was no reported evidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension.\nThe patient\u2019s medication list included aspirin 100 mg/day, carvedilol 50 mg/day, atorvastatin 10 mg/day, and losartan 25 mg/day.\nHis echocardiogram showed normal function of a mitral prosthesis, global left ventricular systolic function within normal limits (left ventricular ejection fraction 62 % measured using the Teichholz method), stage I diastolic dysfunction, and mean pulmonary arterial systolic blood pressure of 50 mmHg.\nIn the 6-minute walk test, the patient walked 104 meters (Table 1).\nCatheterization of his right heart chambers and pulmonary arteries confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (Table 2).\nDuring the follow-up period, therapy with nifedipine and sildenafil was not tolerated secondary to orthostatic hypotension.\nThe patient was referred for radiofrequency ablation of the pulmonary artery trunk for the treatment of refractory pulmonary hypertension.\nThe procedure was performed in the catheterization laboratory with direct visualization using fluoroscopy and radiopaque contrast dye.\nThe patient remained under unconscious sedation.\nCatheterization of the right femoral artery via the standard Seldinger technique was performed using an 8-French valved short sheath after subcutaneous injection of a local anesthetic.\nSubsequently, this sheath was replaced with a steerable long sheath (Agilis\u00ae; St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) using the standard over-the-wire technique.\nUnfractionated heparin was administered intravenously, targeting an activated coagulation time between 250 and 350 seconds.\nElectroanatomic reconstruction of both the right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery was performed using the EnSite Velocity Cardiac Mapping System (St.Jude Medical) under direct fluoroscopic visualization, and a merger was made with the formatted image obtained by performing cardiac computed tomography angiography (Fig.1).\nThe Agilis\u00ae sheath was advanced into the right ventricular outflow tract just before reaching the pulmonary valve.\nThrough this long sheath, we introduced an ablation catheter with an open irrigated tip (St.Jude Medical).\nThe parameters used for each application according to our protocol were as follows: power of 5 W, maximum temperature of 48 \u00b0C, 60-second duration in each spot, maximum impedance variation of 10 % from baseline values, and an irrigation flow rate of 17 ml/minute, which created a circle in the pulmonary artery trunk.\nThe patient was discharged the next morning.\nNo noteworthy changes before or after the procedure or before discharge in the patient\u2019s radiographic or echocardiographic laboratory parameters were seen.\nThe patient\u2019s blood pressure in both the right heart chambers and the pulmonary artery were determined using catheterization before and at 3 and 6 months after the procedure.\nThe results are shown in Table 2.\nAt the patient\u2019s 3-month follow-up examination, he showed an improvement in functional class for fatigue with major exertion.\nHe also demonstrated an increased distance walked in the 6-minute walk test and reduction of the pressures in both the right cavities and the pulmonary artery.\nCurrently, with 6 months of clinical follow-up, he has maintained his improvement in functional classification and is pedaling his bicycle.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "60-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "white", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start": 14, "end": 19 }, { "text": "Brazilian",

man with bicuspid aortic valve insufficiency and ascending aorta dilatation.\nHe had undergone a free-hand aortic homograft implantation with replacement of the non-coronary sinus using a 24-mm homograft in 2006 (at the age of 41).\nFollow-up evaluations were performed every 6 months and showed mild aortic valve insufficiency.\nAfter 8 years of follow-up, the patient presented to hospital with fever and the echocardiography showed severe aortic insufficiency due to a rupture of one of the cusps of the homograft, worsening of cardiac contractility with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) depression (40\u201345%) and dilatation of the left ventricle (telediastolic/telesystolic diameters 60/42 mm, respectively).\nThe patient presented orthopnoea and hypotension, which needed infusion of dopamine and diuretics.\nComputed tomography scan showed calcifications on the homograft, pleural effusions and no signs of pericardial effusion (Fig.1).\nSince the Dukes criteria for endocarditis were not satisfied, the final diagnosis was an early structural deterioration of the homograft, due to a severe calcification process.\nThe operation was performed through median resternotomy and with standard aorta-right atrium central cannulation for the extracorporeal circulation.\nThe leaflets and the annulus of the homograft presented severe calcifications and no signs of endocarditis were found.\nAn Edwards Intuity bioprosthesis (21 mm) was then implanted (Fig.2).\nThe cross-clamping time was 41 min, and the cardiopulmonary bypass time was 64 min.\nThe patient required dopamine and adrenaline at low doses for bypass weaning.\nNo complications occurred during the postoperative period.\nEchocardiography before the discharge showed the absence of paravalvular leaks, a peak/mean aortic gradient of 34/20 mmHg and an LVEF of 33%.\nFollow-up echocardiography after 3 months from the operation showed neither leaks nor malfunctions of the Edwards Intuity prosthesis, a peak/mean gradient of 38/22 mmHg and initial recovery of the LVEF (valued 47%).\nPatient was asymptomatic again.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "50-year old", "label": "AGE", "start": 18,

nonpruritic, painless, and started at the thighs, but rapidly disseminated to the rest of the body.\nShe had progressive dyspnea on exertion, with a significant decrease in exercise tolerance.\nShe denied fever, headache, dizziness, hemoptysis, or bleeding from anywhere.\nThere was no history of new drug use, unusual food intake, contact with any sick persons, or recent travel.\nHer only medication was enalapril, which she had been taking for several years.\nThe patient denied any use of recreational drugs, tobacco, or alcohol.\nOn admission, she was afebrile, normotensive with mild tachypnea (respiratory rate of 22 breaths per minute).\nPhysical examination revealed scattered petechial rash, more prominent in lower extremities, nonpalpable and nonblanching.\nChest auscultation revealed coarse crackles bilaterally.\nCardiovascular, abdominal, and neurological examinations were normal.\nThere was no palpable lymphadenopathy or visceromegaly.\nLaboratory examination revealed thrombocytopenia (platelets 7000/\u03bcL), anemia (hemoglobin 10.8\u200amg/dL and hematocrit 34%), and leukocytosis (white blood cells [WBCs] 11,600/\u03bcL).\nThe coagulation profile was normal, which excluded disseminated intravascular coagulation.\nArterial blood gas on ambient air revealed a partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) of 64 Torr, a partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) of 37 Torr (pH 7.45), and an increased alveolar-arterial gradient (44 Torr).\nDiffuse airspace consolidation was found on chest roentgenogram (Fig.1A).\nComputed tomography (CT) of the chest showed diffuse ground glass alveolar opacities and patchy infiltrates (Fig.1B, C).\nShe was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and received intravenous steroids.\nPeripheral smear showed giant platelets and occasional small platelet clumps, with no schistocytes.\nA flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FFB) showed normal mucosa with no endobronchial lesions (Fig.2A).\nSerial aliquots of BAL fluid (BALF) turned more hemorrhagic, confirming the bronchoscopic diagnosis of DAH (Fig.2B).\nCytology of BALF showed a substantial amount of hemosiderin-laden macrophages, further supporting the diagnosis.\nAll BALF cultures and gram stains were negative.\nThe patient remained with severe thrombocytopenia and hypoxia despite steroids and platelets transfusion.\nHigh doses of pulse steroids and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) were added with clinico-radiological improvement.\nA bone marrow aspirate was morphologically normal.\nAdditional laboratory studies failed to reveal an etiology for secondary thrombocytopenia (Table \u200b1), supporting the diagnosis of ITP.\nSteroids were gradually tapered.\nRepeat chest radiograph showed almost complete resolution of bilateral infiltrates (Fig.3).\nPlatelet count returned to normal by week 10 after admission without any additional therapies (Fig.4).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "69-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, {

her condition was diagnosed.\nAll three of her siblings also were diagnosed with HHT and her mother passed away from an intracranial hemorrhage.\nEight years prior to presentation she had undergone a left-sided septodermoplasty via a lateral rhinotomy approach.\nThis operation had significantly reduced the frequency of her symptoms and for several years her epistaxis was under control with the use of low dose thalidomide.\nHowever, she was referred to our clinic due to increased epistaxis severity and frequency over the prior 12 months necessitating more frequent transfusions.\nAt the time of consultation the patient was concerned about daily severe left sided epistaxis despite several months use of topical bevacizumab and oral tranexamic acid.\nShe required intravenous iron and blood transfusions every two months.\nHer baseline hemoglobin at the time of our consultation was 75 g/L (normal\u2009=\u2009120 \u2013 160 g/L).\nHer HHT epistaxis severity score [17] was severe (normalized score 9.49).\nOn examination, she had multiple telangiectasia on her fingers, face, lips and palate.\nHer endoscopic examination revealed bilateral telangiectasia along the nasal septum.\nThere was extensive crusting along the entire left nasal cavity with which any manipulation resulted in immediate profuse epistaxis.\nGiven the severity of the patient\u2019s epistaxis despite medical therapy, she was offered endoscopic left-sided septodermoplasty.\nThe surgical goals were to improve her quality of life by reducing the number and severity of epistaxis episodes while diminishing the need for blood transfusions.\nThe patient was content with the treatment plan and agreed to undergo surgical intervention.\nThe endoscopic procedure was performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.\nThe nasal cavity was prepared by inserting pledgets soaked in topical adrenaline (1:1000) placed in both nostrils for decongestion.\nUsing a zero degree endoscope the residual STSG and mucosa of the left septum was dissected in a supraperichondrial plane that resulted in the expected significant diffuse hemorrhage.\nImmediate hemostasis was attained using a topical gelatin-thrombin matrix, Floseal (FloSeal Hemostatic Matrix; Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL, USA) (Fig.1).\nThe mucosal defect (Fig.2) measured approximately 3 cm in anterior-posterior dimension.\nA 4 x 2 cm split thickness skin graft was harvested from the right thigh, pie-crusted with a 15 blade and then placed endoscopically along the length of the septal defect.\nAs seen in Fig.3, the graft was placed with an overlap of the mucosa of the nasal floor and the residual superior septal mucosa.\nFinally, 2 mL of fibrin sealant (TISSEEL fibrin sealant, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL, USA) was then applied first to the edges then central portion of the STSG (Fig.4).\nPacking was not used post-operatively and the patient was discharged home on the same day of surgery.\nClinical follow-up two weeks after surgery (Fig.5) showed that the entire graft had taken and the left-sided epistaxis had dramatically diminished.\nThe patient was very content with the results of the procedure.\nAt 6 months follow-up, her baseline hemoglobin had improved to 102 g/L and she was requiring transfusions every 4 months with her hematologist\u2019s intent to stop the transfusions if her hemoglobin remained greater than 100 g/L.\nHer epistaxis severity score at 6 month follow up was mild (normalized score 3.05).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "64

substance abuse, but had a chronic atrophic gastritis for nearly 10 years.\nAlso, there was no family history of genetic defect or malignancy.\nPhysical examination showed no palpable findings.\nAdmission blood test showed a slight decrease in hemoglobin (106 g/L).\nUpper gastrointestinal (GI) examination using barium contrasts showed a large tumor blocking the esophago-gastric junction (Figure \u200b1).\nComputed tomography (CT) scan revealed a soft mass in the esophago-gastric junction with lymph node metastasis in the lesser curvature of the stomach (Figure \u200b2).\nEndoscopic examination showed a black spot in the lower esophagus and a bulky black mass blocking the esophago-gastric junction, as well as two black crater-like ulcers in the fundus of the stomach (Figure \u200b3).\nBiopsy specimens taken from the tumor were identified as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.\nPreoperative nutrition status of this case was scored 2 based on the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002)[6].\nBecause of the obstructive symptom caused by the tumor, a debulking surgery of distal esophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy was performed.\nEsophagogastric anastomosis and reconstruction was then completed with stapling device.\nIntraoperatively, the tumor was found located at the esophago-gastric junction and the tumor infiltrated the whole layer with lymph node metastasis at station four.\nNo ascites or dissemination of the tumor was observed in the peritoneal cavity.\nThe tumor measured 3 cm \u00d7 6 cm in size with black pigmentation (Figure \u200b4).\nThere were several pigmented satellite nodules beside the main tumor lesion, the largest one being 1 cm \u00d7 1 cm in diameter.\nMoreover, two ulceration lesions were found at the fundus of the stomach.\nMicroscopically, the excised tumor tissue was composed of non-organized and pleomorphic cells exhibiting atypical nuclei, and abundant melanin granules (Figure \u200b5).\nPathological examination identified this case at a stage of IVA (T4aN1M0).\nImmunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor was positive for S-100, HMB-45, mclean-A and Vimentin, but negative for cytokeratin 7 and cytokeratin 20 (Figure \u200b6).\nBased on these results, a diagnosis of primary advanced esophago-gastric melanoma was established.\nThe postoperative course was smooth and without complications.\nThe patient gradually recovered and was discharged 14 d after surgery.\nAs the patient denied a postoperative adjuvant therapy, abdominal recurrence and hepatic metastases were found within one month by a postoperative follow-up CT.\nNo other effective treatment was administered afterwards.\nThe patient died of diffuse metastatic disease 2 mo later.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "65-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text": "admitted", "label": "CLINICAL_EVENT",

failure after a 2-week history of progressive breathlessness.\nHe had a history of recurrent skin abscesses and atopic dermatitis and regularly visited a dermatologist in our hospital.\nOn arriving at our hospital, his extremities were warm and dry.\nAccording to the New York Heart Association criteria, he had class III congestive heart failure (CHF).\nAn electrocardiogram revealed diffuse nonspecific T-wave changes, low voltage (<5 mm) in the extremity leads and poor R-wave progression in the anterior chest leads.\nMultiple sporadic ventricular premature beats were seen (Figure 1).\nChest x-ray film confirmed right pleural effusion, and mild cardiomegaly but no pulmonary congestion (Figure 2).\nBlood tests showed severely elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (901 pg/mL) and markedly raised IgE (12 000 IU/mL) without eosinophilia (eosinophil count of 1.62\u00d7108/L).\nBiochemical analysis revealed no significant findings: blood urea nitrogen of 14.3 mg/dL [reference value (RV): 7.00\u201322.00], creatinine of 0.90 mg/dL (RV: 0.60\u20131.00), C-reactive protein (CRP) of 0.2 mg/dL (RV: 0.00\u20130.50), serum amyloid A (SAA) of 7.0 \u03bcg/mL (RV: 0\u20138.0), and troponin T of 0.07 ng/mL (RV: 0\u20130.1).\nImmunology testing revealed negative perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and no elevation of myeloperoxidase antibodies.\nThe distribution of albumin and globulin in the serum was normal.\nSerum protein immuno-electrophoresis did not reveal M-protein, and urinalysis revealed no Bence-Jones protein.\nTransthoracic echocardiography (Figure 3) showed concentric mild left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (12 mm) without the characteristic granular sparkling appearance and pericardial effusion, preserved ejection fraction (60%), and bi-atrial enlargement with normal ventricular chambers.\nDoppler-derived LV diastolic filling demonstrated a restrictive pattern with a trans-mitral early filling wave deceleration time of 160 ms and an elevated E/A ratio of 2.8.\nA markedly elevation of E/e\u2019 ratio of 27.3 indicated elevated LV filling pressure.\nOn day 1 of hospitalization, we prescribed an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and low-dose diuretics.\nOn day 3 of hospitalization, after initiating ACE inhibitor and diuretic therapy, the patient\u2019s symptoms resolved.\nThe dermatologists performed a biopsy of a blue macula of the forehead skin.\nOn day 4, we introduced a low-dose \u03b2-blocker and performed an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), obtaining 3 fragments of the right ventricular septum because diagnostic confirmation of cardiac amyloidosis requires the demonstration of amyloid deposits.\nIn addition, we performed right heart catheterization (RHC), and coronary angiography to exclude obstructive coronary artery disease.\nThe data obtained from the RHC indicated subset type IV according to the Forrester classification.\nThe right ventricular pressure curve did not show a dip-and-plateau configuration.\nSkin biopsy revealed hyperkeratosis in the epidermis and mild inflammatory changes throughout the dermis with an infiltration of lymphocytes.\nThe specimen exhibited apple-green birefringence with polarized light after Congo red staining (Figure 4).\nHistological examination of the myocardial specimen showed no signs suggesting myocarditis, eosinophilic granulomas, or cardiomyopathy with iron deposition, but Congo red staining revealed amyloid deposits (Figure 5).\nIn addition, a strongly positive immunohistochemical reaction to immunoglobulin \u03bb-chain in the myocardial interstitium led us to diagnose this patient\u2019s systemic amyloidosis as AL amyloidosis.\nThe patient generally tolerated the low-dose \u03b2-blocker well and was discharged on day 10 with no complications.\nThe patient is currently being followed-up at 6-month intervals as an out-patient, with no exacerbation of the CHF thus far.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

waived the need for informed consent.\nIn 2013, a 66-year-old farmer with a history of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and hypertension presented to the Emergency Department with continuous palpitation, chest tightness, profuse sweating and nausea with no obvious predisposing causes.\nThe patient experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure and acute confusion.\nAfter an immediate electrical conversion, his consciousness was gradually restored, and symptoms relieved.\nThen, this patient was transferred to the Department of Cardiology for further evaluations and treatments.\nThe patient's blood pressure was 105/75 mm Hg upon admission, with a heart rate of 75 beats/min, body temperature of 36.6\u00b0C and respiration rate of 18 times/min.\nThe heart border extended to the left, with the apical impulse located in the left 5th intercostal space, 1.0\u200acm lateral to the midclavicular line.\nThe patient had a history of hypertension over 30 years without regular antihypertensive medication.\nThe highest blood pressure was 170/110 mm Hg.\nThere was no family history of early coronary artery disease or sudden cardiac death.\nHe did not smoke cigarettes or use illicit drugs, and rarely consumed alcohol.\nHe also reported no known contacts with sick persons and no recent travel.\nTwelve-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) of VT indicated that the origin of VT was at the boundary between right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and tricuspid valve.\nWhen VT increased to 150 beats/min or higher, no epsilon waves were found in the precordial leads (Figure1A and B).\nIn contrast, when VT decreased to 120 beats/min or lower, epsilon waves appeared in leads V1\u2013V2 (Figure1C).\nNotably, the epsilon waves preceded QRS waves in leads V1\u2013V2, while endocardiac tracing confirmed that the corresponding local potential originating from RVOT appeared prior to the ventricular rhythm (Figure \u200b(Figure1D).1D).\nSinus ECG in the year of 2013 suggested a slight left deviation of electric axis, with a heart rate of 87 beats/min and flat T waves in lead II.\nT wave inversions were found in leads III, avF and V1\u2013V3, meanwhile epsilon waves were found following QRS complex in leads V1\u2013V3 (Figure \u200b(Figure2B).2B).\nWhen the lead avR was amplified, epsilon waves were also found behind QRS waves (Figure \u200b2C).\nAtrial premature beats appeared occasionally.\nMoreover, ventricular premature beats were also found to originate from the right ventricular apex, with epsilon waves appearing behind QRS waves (Figure \u200b(Figure2B).2B).\nIn contrast, sinus ECG obtained in the year of 1999 revealed similar left deviation of electric axis, flat T waves and T wave inversions, but absence of epsilon waves (Figure \u200b(Figure2A).2A).\nData from biochemical assays were as follows: cardiac troponin I level was 0.714\u200a\u03bcg/L (normal range, 0\u20130.06\u200a\u03bcg/L), serum B-type natriuretic peptide level was 466.530\u200apg/mL (normal range, 0\u2013100\u200apg/mL), serum d-dimer level was 8.14\u200amg/L (normal range, 0\u20130.55\u200amg/L), blood urea level was 11.69\u200ammol/L (normal range, 2.90\u20137.20\u200ammol/L), serum creatinine level was 144.00\u200a\u03bcmol/L (normal range, 44\u2013133\u200a\u03bcmol/L), serum uric acid level was 611.40\u200a\u03bcmol/L (normal range, 100\u2013432\u200a\u03bcmol/L), and endogenous creatinine clearing value was 57.90\u200amL/min (normal range, >80\u200amL/min).\nEcho data revealed remarkably enlarged right atrium and right ventricle, and widened ROVT.\nUncoordinated motions of the left and right ventricular walls were also detected.\nMoreover, we also found aortic valve degradation with slight regurgitation, slight mitral regurgitation, and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation.\nThe left ventricular diastolic function was reduced to 55% (Figure \u200b3A and B).\nThe coronary angiogram revealed no vascular stenosis (Figure \u200b3C\u2013E).\nBased on the above-mentioned examinations, this patient met at least 2 major criteria, the bilateral ventricular dilation and the existence of epsilon waves, providing diagnostic support for ARVC.\nA diet with low salt and low fat was suggested.\nThe patient was also treated with metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets (23.75\u200amg daily, p.o.), amiodarone (200\u200amg daily, p.o.), furosemide (20\u200amg daily, i.v.), and compound \u03b1-ketoacid tablets (2.52\u200ag daily, p.o.).\nMoreover, VTs with different morphologies and cycle lengths were found during radiofrequency ablation (Figure 4).\nThe substrate voltage mapping revealed that the anterior wall of RVOT was wrapped by circular scar (Figure 5A).\nConsidering the association of VT with scar areas, substrate ablation was chosen for this patient.\nThe residual potentials in the scar areas were searched, and then linear and focal ablations were performed (Figure \u200b5B).\nNeither programmed stimulation nor induced stimulation could induce VT after the procedure was completed, indicating the success of operation.\nThe ECG after radiofrequency ablation showed sinus rhythm, with a heart rate of 61 beats/min, T wave inversions in leads III and avF, and epsilon waves and T wave inversions in leads V1\u2013V3 (Figure 2D).\nThis patient was discharged from hospital on day 9 with a regimen of metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets (23.75\u200amg daily, p.o.), amiodarone hydrochloride tablets (200\u200amg daily, p.o.), spironolactone tablets (40\u200amg daily, p.o.), and fosinopril sodium tablets (10\u200amg daily, p.o.).\nThe patient was followed up 3 months after discharge.\nHe had no recurrent palpitation, chest tightness, profuse sweating or nausea.\nAlthough ARVC was the main diagnosis at the time of this patient's initial presentation, it is essential in such cases to perform a reassessment for the presence of structural heart disease, which can evolve over time.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "2013", "label": "DATE", "start": 131, "end": 135 }, { "text": "66-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 139, "end": 150 }, {

performed following the administration of standard spinal anesthesia.\nDuring surgery the patient became hypotensive and ephedrine was injected to maintain her blood pressure in the normal range.\nThree hours after delivery of healthy male infant, the patient complained of nausea, increasing dyspnoea and palpitations.\nOn physical examination tachycardia with ventricular extra systoles and pulmonary rales were detected.\nHer blood pressure was 80/40 mmHg and demanded the administration of inotropic agents (initially continuous infusion of norepinephrine 0.5 mg/h followed by dobutamine 7 \u03bcg/kg/min).\nOwing to worsening of oxygen saturation up to 70 % and gradual deterioration of consciousness, mechanical ventilation was applied and the patient was transferred to intensive care unit.\nChest X ray indicated pulmonary congestion.\nEmergency computer tomography excluded pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) and confirmed severe pulmonary oedema (Fig.1).\nThe patient received loop diuretic, furosemide, at initial daily dose 80 mg, which was progressively reduced.\nThe diuretic was discontinued after 12 days of treatment.\nThe electrocardiogram disclosed sinus tachycardia with ST- segment elevation of 1,5 mm with negative T waves in aVL and ST- segment depression of 1 mm in II, III, aVF, V5-V6 (Fig.2).\nLaboratory tests showed elevated troponin up to 908 pg/ml (normal value <14 pg/ml), NT- pro BNP 6236 pg/ml (normal value <125 pg/ml).\nThe bedside transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction.\nTherefore the patient was transferred to Intensive Cardiac Therapy Clinic.\nRepeated TTE showed LV ejection fraction 30 % with hypokinesis of the mid and basal segments of posterior, anterior and lateral wall with preserved contractility of the apical segments.\nUrgent coronary angiography presented normal coronary arteries.\nThe diagnosis of inverted stress- induced cardiomyopathy was set upon the overall clinical data.\nAfter 3 days the patient was weaned from respirator and extubated.\nFollowing hemodynamic improvement, inotropic agents were tapered gradually.\nBoth TTE and magnetic resonance imaging (Figs.3 and \u200b4) performed on the fifth day showed complete recovery of myocardial function.\nThe patient was discharged after 15 days in good overall condition.\nAt 12- month follow- up she remained asymptomatic with no echocardiographic abnormalities.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "36- year- old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 15 }, {

2008 with splenomegaly, a high red cell count, and subnormal serum erythropoietin levels.\nCytogenetic analysis showed a normal male karyotype.\nMolecular studies were negative for the BCR-ABL1 rearrangement, but revealed the JAK2V617F mutation with an allele burden of 44.9%.\nA diagnosis of PV was made on the basis of a morphological bone marrow analysis according to the WHO 2008 criteria.\nThe patient was started on aspirin, hydroxyurea, and phlebotomies, all of which were well tolerated.\nSix years later, an abdominal ultrasound scan revealed the presence of dense bilateral perinephric infiltration, which was confirmed by a whole-body computed tomography (CT) scan, and a fluotine-18 fluordeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET) scan demonstrated increased glucose uptake in the medullary channels of both humeri and femurs.\nMorphological bone marrow analysis confirmed the previous diagnosis of PV and showed no evident change in the grading of bone marrow fibrosis (MF-0 according to the EUMNET consensus),13 whereas cytogenetic analysis revealed the following complex male karyotype: 47,XY,+9[2/20],47,XY,add(6)(p25),+9[2/20],46,XY[16/20].\nThe histological nature of the perinephric infiltration was identified by means of a CT-guided core biopsy of the lesion.\nMorphological analysis demonstrated the accumulation of foamy histiocytes that were positive for CD68 and negative for the dendritic cell markers CD1a and S100, surrounded by fibrosis and a scanty lympho-monocytic infiltrate (Figure \u200b(Figure1).1).\nThe detection of the BRAFV600E mutation led to a diagnosis of ECD.\nCardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed pseudo-tumoral infiltration of the atrioventricular wall,14 and a bone scan showed symmetrically irregular radiotracer uptake in the long bones of the limbs consistent with ECD (Figure \u200b(Figure22)2; the findings of cerebral and pulmonary imaging were negative.\nIn accordance with the most recent guidelines for the treatment of ECD,1 the patient started therapy with pegylated interferon (IFN)-alpha and, after 3 months of treatment, a new abdominal ultrasound scan revealed the complete resolution of the dense bilateral perinephric infiltration, and the normalization of the blood cell counts was achieved.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "66-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end":

man with a history of metastatic mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinoma presents for evaluation of a desquamating rash on his face that has spread to his scalp, inguinal region, and perineum over the past 4 months (Figure 1).\nThe rash has been accompanied by diffuse alopecia of the face, scalp, axilla, and groin.\nThere was no improvement in the rash despite multiple rounds of oral fluconazole, topical antibiotic ointment, and intravenous antibiotics.\nPrior to the development of his rash, he completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.\nHe underwent colostomy after he failed surgical correction for an enterocutaneous fistula, and he has required total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for the past year.\nHe did not notice any significant changes in ostomy output during this time.\nDermatological examination reveals widespread erythematous plaques on the face, scalp, and medial aspect of thighs bilaterally and scattered papules with scaling on face, scalp, chest, and back.\nDiffuse, non-scarring alopecia is present on the face, scalp, axillae, and groin.\nThe patient had acquired AE, a rare dermatologic condition caused by zinc deficiency.\nThis patient developed acquired zinc deficiency in the setting of inadequate zinc supplementation in TPN.\nThe patient had not received trace elements for approximately one year due to a national shortage.\nThe key to the correct diagnosis of acquired AE is the combination of desquamating rash coupled with alopecia in the setting of chronic supplemental alimentation.\nAlthough it is reasonable to consider a skin biopsy, a skin biopsy would not definitively establish the diagnosis.\nA paraneoplastic panel could be considered, but it would delay diagnosis, and the presentation is most consistent with nutritional deficiency.\nIt is not appropriate to start a topical steroid cream until a diagnosis is determined.\nThe patient had a zinc level of 29 ug/dL (normal range 56-134 ug/dL).\nHe received zinc supplementation in his TPN, and within one month, the patient had complete resolution of rash and fatigue, and gradual return of hair growth (Figure 2).\nRepeat zinc level following supplementation was 90 ug/dL.\nAlthough the patient recovered from his zinc deficiency, he later passed away.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "50-year old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, {

appetite, nausea, and vomiting.\nThe anamnesis revealed that the girl comes from a family of potters, and that she also participated in the process of pottery, her father being diagnosed with lead poisoning 2 years before.\nThe patient's personal history underlined that approximately 1 year ago she presented with severe abdominal pain, being diagnosed with acute appendicitis and she underwent appendectomy, but the pain persisted, thus due to family history of lead poisoning, the suspicion of saturnine colic rose, and she was diagnosed with lead poisoning (urinary lead: 219\u200a\u03bcg/L), but she received only symptomatic treatment.\nApproximately 3 weeks before admission to our clinic, she was admitted to the regional hospital with another episode of saturnine colic (blood lead: 113.2\u200a\u03bcg/dL), and chelation therapy with EDTA (4 days before the admission in our clinic) was initiated, with a dose of 2 tablets daily, one in the morning and one in the evening associated with calcium supplements.\nThe clinical examination performed at the time of admission revealed the following pathological elements: influenced general status, ailing face, jaundice of the sclera, blue pigmentation of the nails, painful abdomen at palpation, and weight: 45\u200akg.\nThe laboratory test performed upon admission revealed hypochromic anemia (hemoglobin (Hb): 10.9\u200ag/dl, hematocrit (Htc): 31.6%, medium cellular volume (MCV): 77.6 fL), increased level of liver transaminases (alanine-aminotransferase (ALAT): 158.9\u200aU/L, aspartate-aminotransferase (ASAT): 63\u200aU/L, gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT): 128\u200aU/L), conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (direct bilirubin (DBi): 1.432\u200amg/dL), hyponatremia (Na: 132\u200ammol/L), and hypopotassemia (K: 2.85\u200ammol/L).\nThe systolic arterial pressure was 156 mm Hg, and the diastolic was 96 mm Hg.\nThe blood lead level was 66.28\u200a\u03bcg/dL, the urinary one was 419.7\u200a\u03bcg/L (normal <50\u200a\u03bcg/L) and the value of delta-aminolevulinic acid was 7.66\u200amg/L (normal <4.5\u200amg/L).\nWe also performed abdominal ultrasound which revealed a disappearance of the delimitation between the cortical and medullar parts in both kidneys.\nWe requested consultation from an occupational healthcare specialist, who recommended the continuation of chelation therapy with EDTA, increasing the dose at 4\u200atablets/day.\nWe also required a neurological consultation, and the specialist established the diagnosis of behavioral disorders with depressive elements, and recommended psychotherapy.\nBased on all these clinical and laboratory findings, we established the diagnosis of lead poisoning.\nWe initiated an intense i.v. hydration in order to favor lead elimination, approximately 3 liters per 24\u200ahours initially, and we decreased progressively the quantity once she ceased to vomit, and she was able to consume liquids.\nWe associated diuretics, initially furosemide by vein, but the values of the arterial pressure persisted above the upper limit, therefore we were forced to introduce also an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, with the remission of arterial hypertension.\nRegarding the liver function, we administered amino acids intravenously, associated with liver protectors by mouth.\nWe also administered vitamins of the B complex in order to improve the neurological impairment.\nThe evolution was slightly favorable, in the first 3 days after the admission, the patient continued to present severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and she also complained of pain in the lumbar area.\nAll the laboratory parameters presented normalization of the values after approximately 10 days of treatment.\nOn the 6th day of admission, we ceased the chelation therapy with EDTA.\nWe also repeated the blood and urinary lead levels.\nThe blood level was 45.57\u200a\u03bcg/dL, and the urinary one was 836.4\u200a\u03bcg/L before discharging the patient.\nThe abdominal ultrasound reevaluation revealed no pathological modifications.\nAfter 14 days of admission, the patient was discharged without any complaints, and we recommended no further exposure to lead, avoiding the contact and the working in the pottery process.\nThe long-term outcome of this case depends on further exposure to this heavy metal.\nNevertheless, we intend to repeat the blood lead levels after 12 and 24 months, assessing also the renal (urea, creatinine, urinary exam) and hepatic functions (ASAT, ALAT, GGT, bilirubin).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "16-year-old",

factor (VEGF) was highly elevated.\nThere was no biologic manifestation of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), but the renal biopsy and brain MRI were consistent with glomerular and neurologic TMA lesions.\nNo other apparent cause of thrombotic microvascular involvement was noted.\nNotably, there was no evidence for infection with shiga toxin-producing germs, ADAMTS-13 activity was decreased up to 14% but remained above 5%, and the alternative complement pathway was normal.\nPlasma exchange was initiated due to the kidney histological lesions and the multifocal ischemic brain lesions.\nIt was discontinued after 1 month after the onset of the disease, since the patient's condition remained stable.\nFurthermore, chemotherapy including 6 courses of rituximab (375\u200amg/m2), cyclophosphamide (750\u200amg/m2), and dexamethasone (40\u200amg/day from day 1 to day 4) was started together with plasma exchanges (chemotherapy was performed immediately after plasma exchanges).\nCourses were performed every 3 weeks.\nClinical manifestations of vascular leak syndrome regressed, renal function normalized, and serum VEGF level decreased to 825\u200apg/mL after 1 course of chemotherapy.\nThe patient was discharged 43 days after admission.\nNo neurological event occurred after initiating the treatment.\nThoraco-abdominal CT scan was performed after 6 courses of chemotherapy, showing a normal liver and spleen size and no lymph node enlargement.\nOne year after the diagnosis, remission of MCD is persistent and plasma creatinine is 86\u200a\u03bcmol/L, with no proteinuria.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "54-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "admitted", "label": "CLINICAL_EVENT", "start": 26, "end": 34 }, { "text": "fever", "label":

18-year-old Han female admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to adrenal crisis triggered by pneumonia.\nShe has developed recurrent respiratory infections since age 5, and failed to respond to multiple hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccinations.\nReduced serum cortisol and ACTH levels were discovered at 16 when glucocorticoid replacement was initiated.\nIn addition, hair loss started from age 4, and absence of pubic and axillary hair was noticed after development of regular menstruation.\nHer history includes nephrotic syndrome, which was confirmed to be minimal change nephropathy by renal biopsy.\nPhysical examination at admission revealed alopecia totalis, oral candidiasis, hypohidrosis, and trachyonychia.\nFacial or dental abnormalities was not noted.\nShe is the only child in her family.\nSymptom and signs of the above disorders were not identified among her nonconsanguineous parents.\nInitial immunologic tests revealed remarkable panhypogammaglobulinemia and reduced cell counts of B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells (Table \u200b(Table1).1).\nCD4/CD8 ratio, as well as expression levels of various T-cell activation markers were in normal range, except increased proportion of CD8+/HLA-DR+ subset.\nAntinuclear antibodies (ANA) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were negative.\nWhen regular hydrocortisone replacement was suspended, her 8:00 am serum cortisol was measured at 0.93\u200a\u03bcg/dL, with ACTH <5.00\u200apg/mL.\nSerum levels of other anterior pituitary hormones, as well as serum and urine osmolality were within reference range.\nBoth antiperoxidase antibody and antithyroglobulin antibody were negative.\nShe had positive antiprotein tyrosine phosphatase antibody, with fasting blood glucose at 5.9\u200ammol/L.\nMagnetic resonance imaging with contrast suggested a normal pituitary.\nShe was diagnosed with CVID, isolated ACTH deficiency, and ectodermal dysplasia.\nSymptoms of fever, cough, and vomiting cleared with antibiotics and stress-dose hydrocortisone treatment.\nIntravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy was suggested but denied by the parents.\nAt follow-up 1 year after her discharge, she reported no infection events during the previous year as she stayed at home and avoided outdoor activities.\nHer glucocorticoid replacement was withdrawn 4 months after discharge, and she has only received traditional Chinese medicine ever since.\nLymphocyte subsets test done at the follow-up documented increased levels of B cells and T cells, while NK cell count remained below normal limit.\nTo assess her NK-cell activity, a flow cytometric procedure was done following previously described method.[10,11] Effector to target cell ratio was set at 10:1.\nLess apoptosis of target cell line (12.43%, reference range 15.11\u201326.91%) was observed when cocultured with patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), indicating a deficient NK-cell cytotoxicity.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

was admitted with acute left ventricular (LV) failure and was treated with intensive decongestive therapy.\nHe had severe peripheral edema and bilateral basal crepitations.\nInitial workup revealed normal levels of troponine (<0.01 ng/ml) and CPK-MB (4.6 ng/ml), thereby ruling out acute coronary syndrome.\nThe level of BNP was 1230 pg/ml confirming the diagnosis of heart failure.\nEchocardiographic assessment revealed LVEF of 10% with dilated cardiac chambers, and estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was 70 mm of Hg with features of raised LV diastolic pressure.\nAngiography was performed after 3 days of decongestive therapy which revealed critical triple vessel disease with left main coronary artery disease (Fig.1).\nHe was referred for CABG.\nThe patient was put on frusemide infusion with oral ramipril and aldactone.\nHe was taken up for elective OPCAB 1 week after angiography.\nRenal function was monitored regularly to adjust diuretic dose.\nThere was no feature of end organ dysfunction.\nSTS risk of mortality was 2.4%.\nRepeat echocardiographic assessment revealed improvement of LVEF to 15% and decrease in PASP to 30 mm Hg and decrease in LV filling pressure.\nOPCAB was performed through median sternotomy.\nLeft ITA was used for grafting left anterior descending artery (LAD).\nAfter revascularizing LAD, right ITA (RITA) and RA composite, graft was prepared.\nThe distal end of RITA was used for revascularizing the diagonal artery.\nThere was significant improvement in systolic blood pressure after this distal anastomosis.\nAfter these two grafts, heart was lifted for lateral and posterior wall vessels.\nWe make a longer skin incision, open the sternum widely, and release pericardium on the right side to displace the heart gradually.\nThis was supplemented with headlow and lateral tilt position.\nLiberal doses of inotropic support were used.\nRA was used for sequential grafting of obtuse marginal, posterior LV branch, and posterior descending artery.\nAll these five distal anastamoses were performed uneventfully.\nThe patient was electively ventilated for 2 days.\nEchocardiography on 1st POD revealed improvement in LVEF to 20%.\nHe was started on low dose beta blockers after inotropic supports were weaned off.\nHe had slow and uneventful recovery.\nEchocardiography on 4th POD revealed improvement in LVEF to 30% (Table 1).\nHe had persistent pleural drainage requiring prolonged intensive care unit stay.\nAfter pleural drainage subsided and drains were removed, he was discharged on

grafting (CABG) for severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) 4 years before, which consisted of the right internal thoracic artery (RITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the left circumflex artery (LCX).\nDue to continual growth of the abdominal aortic aneurysm over the years, surgery was indicated.\nLeft coronary angiogram showed 90 % stenosis of the LMCA and total occlusion of both grafts.\nPCI was performed for LMCA stenosis (Fig.1).\nA 7-Fr sheath was inserted into the right femoral artery, and a CLS4 guiding catheter (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) was engaged into the left coronary artery (LCA) ostium.\nA guidewire (SION Blue, Asahi Intecc, Aichi, Japan) was inserted into the distal LAD, and another guidewire (Hi-Torque Pilot 50, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California, USA) was inserted into the distal LCX.\nIntravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (Intra-focus WR, Terumo Corp, Tokyo, Japan) demonstrated heavy circumferential calcification in the LMCA lesion.\nAfter a 4.0\u2009\u00d7\u200915-mm Quantum Maverick balloon catheter (Boston Scientific) was inflated in the lesion, LCA angiogram revealed a large dissection (Fig.2).\nA 4.0\u2009\u00d7\u200928-mm Multi-Link Vision stent (Abbott Vascular) was immediately deployed.\nAngiographic image of the residual dissection disappeared and the stent was dilated by a 5.0\u2009\u00d7\u200915-mm Quantum Maverick balloon catheter.\nThe absence of residual dissection was confirmed by angiography after stent implantation.\nNext, LMCA-LAD and LMCA-LCX kissing balloon angioplasty was initiated using a 4.0\u2009\u00d7\u200928-mm stent delivery balloon in the LAD and a 3.0 mm\u2009\u00d7\u200915-mm Ikazuchi balloon (Kaneka Medics, Tokyo, Japan) in the LCX.\nThe final angiographic imaging showed optimal results, and IVUS imaging of the lesion showed completely sealing by the stent (Fig.3).\nA large hematoma at the femoral puncture site and local bleeding was observed after removal of the femoral sheath and manual compression was applied for haemostasis.\nThe hematoma did not appear to have spread the next day and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the fifth day after PCI.\nUnexpectedly, the patient was admitted to our emergency room with new-onset chest pain and dyspnoea the next day after the discharge.\nHis vital signs indicated cardiogenic shock.\nElectrocardiogram showed ST elevation in leads V1-V3.\nAlthough echocardiography could not detect left ventricular asynergy, a large mass on the outflow tract of right ventricular chamber was observed (Fig.4).\nContrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a 40-mm hematoma compressing the main pulmonary artery trunk and the right ventricle (Fig.5).\nDuring examination, the patient suffered sudden cardiopulmonary arrest.\nHe received immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation and returned to spontaneous circulation after the insertion of a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support device.\nThe patient underwent emergent surgery for the removal of the hematoma after informed consent was obtained from the patient's family.\nDuring surgery, large, dark red clots between the pulmonary artery trunk and aorta were observed.\nThe suspected origin of the epicardial hematoma was blood oozing from the LMCA stent site.\nDespite successful surgical repair, the patient died from aortic rupture induced by external cardiac massage.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "70-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 14,

\u201coff\u201d states and peak dose dyskinesias had severely diminished the patient\u2019s quality of life.\nThus, the patient was deemed a candidate for bilateral subthalamic DBS.\nMultidisciplinary evaluation with 75 % positive response in the standardized levodopa test, exclusion of cognitive decline or psychiatric comorbitity, and absence of structural brain damage potentially relevant to the lead placement led to the unanimous decision for DBS placement.\nWhen decision was made to proceed to surgery the medication consisted of 1112.5 mg of levodopa and 150 mg of piribedil.\nThere was no history of orofacial or cervical dystonia.\nIn the \u201con\u201d state the patient was alert without any signs of psychiatric comorbidity.\nNeuropsychological testing was adequate.\nNo cranial nerve deficits were found and swallowing was normal.\nGait and postural stability was normal with minimal rigidity in the neck and right arm.\nCoordinative motor skills such as rapid pro- and supination were restricted in the left hand.\nDyskinesias were evident with moderate impairment.\nIn the \u201coff\u201d state after the medication was held for 12 h, the patient showed mild dysarthria and dysphonia, resting tremor of the right arm and leg, as well as slight action tremor in the right hand.\nRigidity was severe in the neck, marked in the right, and mild on the left side.\nMotor skills of the hands were markedly impaired.\nGait was slow but unaided and comprised of by intermittent freezing; there was mild dystonic posturing of the right foot.\nThere were no signs of laryngeal spasms, however.\nOn the day before surgery, the last dose of dopaminergic medication was administered at 07:00 p.m., the bedtime dose of levodopa was held to facilitate intraoperative testing.\nOn the day of the operation, the patient underwent placement of the stereotactic frame under local anaesthesia around 09:00 a.m.\nAfter planning standard STN coordinates and trajectories, the patient was placed in a semi-sitting position on the O.R.\ntable, with the frame attached to the table.\nAt the patient\u2019s request, the head was slightly flexed anteriorly for comfort.\nThe left electrode was placed uneventfully.\nWhen performing the bur hole on the right side, the patient complained of cramping in the neck and facial muscles as well as difficulties breathing although at that point, pulse oximetry showed good saturation readings at \u226595 %.\nHe progressed to dystonic dysarthria [6].\nMicroelectrode recordings had already been done and macroelectrode test stimulation was about to begin, when the patient showed high-pitched inspiratory stridor.\nPulse oximetry showed decreasing oxygen saturation at 02:15 p.m.\nand, shortly thereafter, narrow complex tachycardia was noted.\nWithin a minute, the patient became unresponsive.\nCardiac resuscitation was initiated and the patient was fiberoptically intubated after removal of the front bar of the stereotactic frame.\nDuring fiberoptic intubation laryngeal spasm was confirmed visually.\nA transthoracic echocardiogram obtained immediately after successful resuscitation showed no cardiac pathology or any air bubbles.\nStimulation using the implanted lead to resolve the symptoms was not possible as at that time the lead was subcutaneously tunnelled with no impulse generator attached.\nThe right permanent electrode was placed without further testing according to microelectrode recordings.\n50 mg levodopa was administered over a nasogastric tube every two hours during the subsequent postoperative period.\nPostoperative head CT scan done immediately after the procedure was normal.\nThe patient was transferred to the intensive care unit and was extubated at 02:00 p.m.\nthe following day without any neurological deficit or signs of laryngeal spasms.\nBy then, the nasogastric tube was discontinued and the preoperative medication was resumed.\nCardiac workup was negative.\nThe impulse generator was implanted 7 days later and the patient showed good symptom control of PD.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "59-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 17, "end": 28 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX",

demonstrated a large, round mass with a maximum diameter of 15 cm in the pelvic cavity without the presence of ascites or pleural effusion (Fig.1a, \u200bb).\nColonoscopy identified an elevated lesion with severe stenosis in the sigmoid colon, and histopathological examination of biopsy specimens from the tumor showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.\nAlthough we scheduled an early operation, the patient developed acute dyspnea and general edema 2 weeks after the first CT scan.\nThe second CT scan examination demonstrated massive bilateral pleural effusion with atelectasis and ascites (Fig.2a, b).\nThoracic drainage and laparotomy were emergently performed.\nMacroscopically, the tumor in the sigmoid colon had invaded the serosa, and the huge pelvic mass was found to contain a right ovarian tumor.\nSeveral small nodules of peritoneal dissemination were distributed over the greater omentum.\nPerioperatively, 3800 mL of serous ascitic fluid was drained.\nCytodiagnosis of the fluid drained from the ascites and pleural effusion revealed no tumor cells.\nBilateral oophorectomy, total hysterectomy, omentectomy, and sigmoidectomy with regional node dissection were performed (Fig.3a).\nHistopathological examination of the resected specimens showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in the tumors of both the ovaries and the sigmoid colon (Fig.3b).\nThe dissected paracolic nodes showed malignant cells.\nImmunohistochemically, tumor cells from the ovaries and the colon both showed positive expression of cytokeratin 20 (CK20) but no expression of cytokeratin 7 (CK7), confirming that the ovarian tumors were metastases from primary colon cancer (Fig.4a, \u200bb).\nThe postoperative course was uneventful, and both pleural effusion and ascites rapidly resolved.\nPostoperatively, a regimen of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) was administered every 2 weeks for 5 months.\nAt 29 months after the first operation, the patient required curative hepatic resection for liver metastases.\nAt 78 months after the first operation, the patient remains alive with no evidence of a disease.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

hospital with complaints of epigastralgia since a day prior to admission.\nLaboratory data on admission revealed an elevation of aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, \u0264-guanosine triphosphate, and alkaline phosphatase.\nSerum total bilirubin and tumor markers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), SPan-1, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), were all within normal ranges.\nAbdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed a mass in an enlarged gallbladder and bulky hepatic lymph nodes surrounding the hepatic hilum (Fig.1a, \u200bb).\nThere were also no apparent lesions in upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy.\nEndoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed to obtain tissue from the hilar lymph node.\nImmunohistochemical staining of the specimen identified diffuse positivity for keratin, CD56, and synaptophysin in the tumor cells, which is consistent with NEC.\nAn endoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) catheter was placed, and the bile cytology revealed class V malignant cells.\nTherefore, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination was performed to evaluate other primary or metastatic lesions.\nIt revealed that no other accumulated lesions were identified, and the accumulation of 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was in the gallbladder (SUVmax 7.8) and lymph nodes (SUVmax 13.4) (Fig.1c, d).\nOn the basis of these findings, the most likely diagnosis was a gallbladder NEC that was confined to the regional hepatic hilar lymph nodes metastasis.\nFinally, we decided to perform surgical resection prior to chemotherapy because of concerns about complications developing from mechanical obstruction of the hepatic hilum by the enlarged lymph node.\nShe underwent cholecystectomy, hepatic hilar lymphadenectomy, extrahepatic biliary duct resection, and hepaticojejunostomy.\nThe bulky lymph nodes were totally resected as \u201cen bloc\u201d.\nThere were no apparent residual lesions surgically.\nThe postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on the tenth day after surgery.\nMacroscopically, the tumor was 58\u2009\u00d7\u200942 mm in size and was located in the fundus, which contained a yellowish gallstone (Fig.2a).\nA portion of the hepatic hilar lymph nodes (71\u2009\u00d7\u200937 mm) was also excised separately (Fig.2b).\nMicroscopic examination of the gallbladder revealed a moderate to well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma infiltrating from the mucosa to the muscular layer, but not the serosal surface, without any NEC components (Fig.2c, \u200bd).\nThe tumor cells in the gallbladder are slightly positive for synaptophysin and CD56, but negative for chromogranin A (Fig.2e\u2013g).\nThe resection margin from the liver bed was negative for tumor cells.\nThe epithelium around the carcinoma showed intestinal metaplasia with the goblet cells (Fig.4a), which area was stained by alcian blue (Fig.4b).\nOn the other hand, the hepatic hilar lymph nodes were composed of small round tumor cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm (Fig.3a).\nSome of the tumor cells were large and had vesicular nuclei.\nThe tumor cells were arranged in sheets, cords, or in a trabecular or rosette fashion and were interspersed with focal necrosis.\nThey were immunohistochemically positive for CD56, synaptophysin, and chromogranin A (Fig.3b\u20133d).\nThe mitotic count was 24 per 10 high-power microscopic fields, and the Ki-67 proliferation index was 70\u201380%, consistent with NEC.\nThe surgical dissection margin of the hepatic lymph nodes was microscopically cauterized within the tumor cells.\nThere was no invasion to the extrahepatic biliary duct.\nAs the result of thorough pathological re-evaluation by total segmentation, a negligible area of adenocarcinoma was detected in the lymph nodes (Fig.3e, \u200bf).\nThe adenocarcinoma component and the intestinal metaplastic epithelium in the gallbladder were both positive for CDX2 (Fig.4a), but the neuroendocrine component in hilar lymph nodes was negative for CDX2 (Fig.4b).\nPostoperatively, the patient received three cycles of carboplatin (area under the curve of 5 on day 1 repeated every 21 days) and etoposide (80 mg/m2 on days 1 through 3 repeated every 21 days).\nDuring the first course, grade 4 neutropenia occurred and it was managed with prophylactic fluoroquinolones.\nAfter 4 months, multiple recurrences in the para-aortic lymph nodes were detected, which was pathologically demonstrated via EUS-FNA to be NEC.\nThe patient underwent second-line chemotherapy with amrubicin (24 mg/m2 on days 1 through 3 repeated every 21 days).\nGrade 4 neutropenia and anemia developed during the courses, and she needed to receive pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and red blood cell transfusion.\nHowever, she died of progressive disease 8 months after surgery.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "76-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 19 }, { "text": "presented", "label":

prior to this presentation, he had experienced severe upper abdominal pain and vomiting, and he had been treated in a primary care facility for having a case of acute pancreatitis.\nHis initial symptoms improved; however, he gradually became anuric and disoriented.\nThen he was transferred to our hospital for further management.\nAt presentation to our hospital, he was severely agitated, restless, and disoriented.\nHe was tachypneic with acidotic breath.\nMild pedal edema was present; however, his jugular venous pressure was not raised.\nHis pulse was 112 beats/minute, his blood pressure was 140/90 mmHg, and his body temperature was 98 \u00b0F.\nSigns of meningeal irritation were absent, and his plantar response was bilaterally extensor.\nHis fundus could not be evaluated, and examination of his other systems was unremarkable.\nHis laboratory parameters showed features of renal dysfunction (serum creatinine 13 mg/dl, serum urea 293 mg/dl), raised pancreatic enzymes (serum amylase 249 U/L [reference up to 100 U/L], serum lipase 227 U/L [reference 13\u201360 U/L), normal liver function tests (serum bilirubin 0.9 mg/dl, alanine aminotransferase 38 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase 35 U/L, alkaline phosphatase 122 U/L, serum albumin 37 g/L), normal potassium (5.1 mmol/L), normal bicarbonate (19 mmol/L), and normal triglycerides (173 mg/dl).\nHis serological markers, including antinuclear antibodies, cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, C3, and C4, were within normal limits.\nAn ultrasonogram of his whole abdomen was unremarkable, but non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) findings were suggestive of acute pancreatitis (Fig.1).\nHis kidneys were unremarkable, however.\nThe patient was managed as having a case of AKI and acute pancreatitis.\nUrgent hemodialysis was initiated.\nAfter he had received two sessions of hemodialysis, his level of consciousness improved, but he complained of profound visual loss.\nAn assessment revealed only perception of light.\nA funduscopic examination showed retinal whitening and extensive cotton wool exudates as well as Purtscher\u2019s flecken (Fig.2) compatible with Purtscher\u2019s retinopathy.\nHigh-dose parenteral methylprednisolone (1 g intravenously once daily for 3 days) was administered.\nFor evaluation of renal dysfunction, a renal biopsy was done; the histopathological findings were compatible with renal cortical necrosis (Fig.3).\nThe patient denied substance abuse or alcohol ingestion.\nHe did not consume any nephrotoxic drugs or herbal products in the recent past.\nNo history suggesting connective tissue diseases was available, nor did he have a history of hypotension throughout the course of his current illness.\nThe patient was finally diagnosed with acute pancreatitis complicated with renal cortical necrosis leading to AKI and Purtscher\u2019s retinopathy leading to complete bilateral blindness.\nHe died 16 months after his initial presentation as a result of a recurrent attack of acute pancreatitis.\nBefore that, he had been undergoing maintenance hemodialysis; however, his renal function did not recover, though his vision was improved to finger-counting at 2 feet.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "20-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "previously

biliary duct stones.\nAt 65 years of age, she suffered from HCC with BCLC early stage A.\nHer liver function was well preserved, and Child-Pugh score was A.\nShe underwent left lateral segmentectomy for HCC, without other preoperative treatments.\nHistopathological findings revealed bridging fibrosis and pseudolobule formation.\nSerum levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and protein induced by vitamin K absence-II normalized after primary resection (Figure 1).\nIn imaging studies, no LN metastasis was detected at the time of primary resection of HCC.\nTwo and a half years postoperatively, the patient\u2019s AFP level increased dramatically to 780.2 ng/ml.\nA lobular lesion with fine enhancement was detected by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.\nThe tumor measured 27 mm in diameter and was located caudally on the left kidney.\nIn contrast-enhanced computed tomography, the tumor showed strong enhancement in the arterial phase (Figure 2A, 2B) and a relatively low density in the portal phase (Figure 2C, 2D).\nThese enhancement findings appeared consistent with a typical HCC pattern.\nDetailed imaging studies of both magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography were performed in this case because a very rare metastatic LN initially seemed to be debatable and we needed to rule out exclusion diagnoses.\nThree-dimensional imaging proved that the tumor was fed by a main vessel from the inferior mesenteric artery (red arrow) and by an accessory feeder from the superior mesenteric artery (Figure 3).\nFluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography did not detect the tumor (Figure 4), although we thought positron emission tomography-computed tomography was helpful to identify other metastatic tumors.\nFurther imaging findings revealed no other intrahepatic or extrahepatic metastasis.\nBased on the tumor location, the clinical diagnosis was solitary metastasis to a mesocolic LN or HCC dissemination.\nDetermining the ideal therapeutic strategy for solitary but extrahepatic rare metastasis was difficult.\nAlthough rapid growth was a critical concern in this case, the tumor was solitary and not accompanied by other metastases.\nConsidering both diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoints, we finally chose surgical resection in this case.\nNo disseminative nodules, lymphadenopathy, or ascites was observed during surgery.\nThe tumor was located in the mesocolon nearly at the wall of the descending colon, and partial resection of the descending colon with regional mesocolon was performed.\nThe patient\u2019s postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged on postoperative day 8.\nSerum levels of tumor marker decreased immediately after surgery (Figure 1).\nMacroscopically, the mesocolic tumor was a solid and elastic mass with a smooth surface (Figure 5A).\nA yellowish nodule was encapsulated in the cut surface (Figure 5B).\nThe enlarged LN contained metastatic HCC with a ductal structure (Figure 6A), and immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for AFP and negative for CK-20, which was consistent with the pattern of primary HCC (Figure 6B).\nThe histopathological diagnosis was metastatic HCC to a mesocolic LN.\nAs of the writing of this report, the patient has remained free of recurrence for 13 months after the second

amylase: 136 U/L, total bilirubin: 6.37 mg/dL with a direct fraction of 5.30 mg/dL).\nCross-sectional, abdominal computed tomography (CT) with contrast, showed a low-attenuating lesion localized in the pancreatic head (measuring 4\u2009\u00d7\u20093 cm) and a thinner section of the distal bile duct suspicious for compression).\nAfter a multidisciplinary meeting, our patient was scheduled for EUS-FNA.\nEUS showed a solid, heteroechoic with predominantly hypoechoic areas, well-defined lesion with regular contours (measuring 3.1\u2009\u00d7\u20092.6 cm), localized between the head and neck of the pancreas (Fig.2).\nThere was no vascular or lymph node invasion identified.\nEUS-FNA was performed with a 22G needle using the fanning technique.\nIn the cytology specimens (Fig.3), the cells presented have a discohesive dispersed pattern, with marked variation in size and shape including epithelioid and spindle-shaped cells with plasmacytoid and round nuclei.\nThe nuclear chromatin is clumping and irregular with excessive parachromatin clearing, there are single or multiple macronucleoli, and abundant cytoplasm with deep brownish-black granules obscuring the cell details.\nThe background shows necrosis and hemorrhage.\nOur patient underwent right orbital exenteration and followed by duodenopancreatectomy (the Whipple procedure), without any complications (Fig.4).\nThe surgical specimen showed undifferentiated cells, with extended disposition of brown pigment, infiltrating the pancreas and the serosa of the duodenal wall.\nImmunohistochemistry was positive for Melan-A, HMB45, vimentin, S-100 protein and negative for cytokeratin, all consistent with metastatic malignant melanoma.\nAt the moment, our patient is receiving adjuvant chemotherapy at an outside

Baltimore, Maryland, for evaluation of right-sided paralysis and left-sided paresthesias after being found down in her home between her nightstand and her bed.\nThe symptoms began after eating at a local restaurant chain, consuming alcohol, and smoking one cigarette dipped in liquid phencyclidine (PCP).\nShe was asymptomatic that night and went to bed without complications.\nShe was found down next to the bed the following morning unable to move.\nThe patient denied any physical trauma other than falling from the bed.\nShe had no history of seizures, sickle cell anemia, fever, urinary or bowel incontinence, or pain.\nThe patient had a history of viral meningitis without residual deficits eight years prior, gastric bypass surgery, and cholecystectomy, and she was treated for a presumed urinary tract infection five days prior to admission at an outside institution.\nHer triage vital signs were as follows: temperature 36.8\u00b0C, blood pressure 155/100 mm Hg, heart rate 90 beats per minute, respiratory rate 16 breaths per minute, and an oxygen saturation of 95% on room air.\nOn physical exam, the patient was alert and oriented to person, place, and time.\nHer cranial nerves II\u2013XII were grossly intact.\nShe had 2/5 strength in her right lower extremity, 3/5 in her left lower extremity, and 4/5 bilaterally in her upper extremities.\nHer sensation was intact.\nShe opened her eyes spontaneously, her verbal response was oriented and appropriate, and she obeyed commands, resulting in a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15.\nPupils were equal, round, and reactive to light.\nShe had tenderness to palpation over the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine without obvious external signs of trauma.\nHer anal sphincter tone was intact.\nMultiple laboratory abnormalities were noted on admission, including hyperlactemia, elevated liver function tests, and electrolyte derangements.\nHer complete blood count and remainder of her complete metabolic panel were within normal limits.\nThese values are summarized along with reference ranges in Table 1.\nHer toxicology screen was positive for PCP.\nBlood cultures drawn on admission grew the aerobic bacteria Salmonella enterica serotype 4,12: i, and then repeat cultures drawn two days later grew group B streptococcus (aerobic and non-aerobic).\nSubsequent blood cultures were negative, as were stool cultures.\nMetronidazole and vancomycin therapy was initiated empirically, with transition to ceftriaxone upon learning of the culture results.\nIn addition, she had a detailed autoimmunity workup including anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) and HLA-B27, all of which returned within normal limits.\nAdmission computerized tomography scan of her cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine revealed no spinal fractures.\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed no acute intracranial abnormalities, but enhancement within the central aspect of C3\u2013T2 suggested spinal cord edema, disc protrusions at C3\u20134, C4\u20135, and C5\u20136, and bilateral posterior neck muscle edema.\nA lumbar puncture was not initially performed upon patient admission due to concerns about raised intracranial pressure from suspected trauma.\nFour hours after presentation, her strength had progressively deteriorated to 1/5 in all extremities.\nShe lost proprioception in her toes bilaterally and developed absent anal sphincter tone.\nThe patient was admitted to the neurotrauma intensive care unit with further deterioration ultimately requiring endotracheal intubation due to respiratory failure.\nUpon her positive blood culture results, lumbar puncture was performed, which demonstrated a pattern consistent with ATM, the results of which are summarized in Table 2.\nAn extensive workup for infectious etiologies was also completed, with the results summarized in Table 3.\nPlasma exchange therapy was initiated with a suspected diagnosis of ATM.\nDespite maximal medical therapy, the patient remains quadriplegic, is experiencing neurologic pain, received a tracheostomy due to prolonged respiratory failure, and required a feeding jejunostomy tube placement at the time of this report.\n",

dysarthria, with the symptomatology installed in a progressive mode 4 hours before presentation.\nThe nausea was the initial symptom, starting at 4 PM (without headache, nuchal pain, or vomit) and then, after 5.30 PM, the numbness of the left limbs and the incoordination of walking and by 7 PM dysarthria was added to the entire clinical constellation.\nThe patient did not have a medical history or a current medication.\nHe was a student.\nHe did not smoke and did not use recreational drugs.\nHe only drank alcohol occasionally.\nThere was no family history of thromboembolism, cardiovascular problems, or hematologic diseases.\nHe was first evaluated by a neurosurgeon in the emergency unit and had a brain CT scan that highlighted infracentimetric hypodensity in the thalamic nucleus, on the left side and at the level of the right cerebellar hemisphere in the PICA territory, and also a chest X-ray that revealed a widened projection area of the right side hilum, without any other pathological findings.\nFollowing this evaluation, he was sent to the National Institute of Neurology and Cerebrovascular Diseases for consultation and special treatment.\nDuring the ambulance transportation, he had repeated episodes of vomiting.\nThe initial physical examination (at 10 P.M) showed normal vital signs: blood pressure 130/ 80mmHg, heart rate 100 beats per minute and normal body temperature 36,8\u00b0C.\nThe cardiopulmonary exam was normal.\nNo carotid bruits were registered.\nThe neurological examination was notable for normal orientation.\nThe patient had equal, reactive pupils, divergent strabismus to the left eye, horizontal nystagmus, normal deglutition, mild paresis of the left arm, ataxia of all limbs, with an accent on the left extremities, numbness of the left limbs, bilateral response present at all deep tendons reflex, Babinski sign on the left side, stereotypical language.\nThe patient was able to repeat a few words and fragment of phrases and to perform simple commands of medium complexity.\nThe laboratory analysis highlighted a normal hemoleucogram, normal blood glucose level 9,11 mmol/ L (normal range 3,9-5,8mmol/ L), serum creatinine 0,69mmol/ L (range 0,5-0,9mmol/ L), total serum cholesterol 5,2mmol/ L (normal range < 5,2 mmol/ L).\nThe tests for thrombophilia were negative.\nHe also presented a normal sinus rhythm on the ECG.\nThe brain CT performed at the first emergency unit, as mentioned above, revealed a infracentimetric hypodensity at the level of the left thalamic nucleus and at the level of the right cerebellar hemisphere in the PICA territory.\nDoppler ultrasound for cerebral and cervical blood vessels highlighted the marked frena in the flow velocities of the V2 segment of the right vertebral artery, an accentuated aspect in the high V2 segments with the complete disappearance of the flow in the V3 segment, without carotid atheromatous lesions or modifications of the trajectories or the arterial caliber.\nOverall, there was a possibility of a dissection of the right vertebral artery in the higher segments with indication of cerebral and angio MRI.\nCerebral and angio MRI showed: areas with T2, FLAIR hypersignal, with an important restriction of diffusion and low ADC, situated in the right cerebellar area of the postero-inferior territory, anterior bilateral cerebellar territory, left cerebellar peduncle, both right > left thalamic nuclei, as well as subcortical occipital bilateral, with an ischemic aspect that was recently constituted in the vertebrobasilar territory.\nT1 FS hypersignal was present on the entire intracranial segment of the right vertebral artery and the cranio-spinal junction.\nOn the angiographic arterial 3D TOF sequence, the presence of the rapid flow of the right vertebral artery could be viewed, up to the C2 segment, where there was a progressive pinch out with an aspect of flute beak shape.\nDistal of this level, there was an absence of the rapid flow signal and also a lack of right PICA visualization.\nThe MRI aspect suggested a subacute dissection of the right vertebral artery.\nThe cerebral ventricular system had normal dimensions, shape, and topography.\nThe pericerebral fluid spaces and the basal cisterns were normal.\nConclusions: there were some ischemic lesions recently constituted in the vertebrobasilar territory and also a subacute dissection of the right vertebral artery.\nHeparin administration was started immediately in the process of hospitalization because of the dissection.\nThe APTT value was kept in the range of 50-70 seconds.\nAlso, the prophylactic therapy for stress ulcer was performed.\nAfter 7 days from the debut, the patient was transitioned to acenocumarol for long-term anticoagulation.\nThe treatment with acenocumarol was instituted with the heparin overlap until getting the INR therapeutic in the 2-3 intervals.\nThe evolution was favorable, the patient regaining the verbal fluency and the capacity for autonomy in movement.\nThe ataxia was remitted at the right limbs and persisted at the left extremities, but registered a lot of improvement.\nThe patient was discharged home with the recommendation to continue the treatment with Acenocumarol for 6 months with clinical, paraclinical and treatment reevaluation at 6 months.\nThe follow up was not possible because the patient did not return to the hospital after 6 months.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "21-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 4, "end": 15 }, { "text": "presented", "label": "CLINICAL_EVENT", "start": 24, "end": 33 }, {

treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.\nHe responded to the treatment and showed a good clinical course afterwards (Fig.3).\nChemotherapy with a total of 9 cycles of the same regimen was

of which were negative.\nIn June, the patient received medication from a mental health clinic, but because the symptoms did not improve and his body weight further decreased by 23 kg, he stopped the medication; he was referred to our department in November.\nThe patient had been suffering from hypertension since his 30s.\nAmlodipine (5 mg/day) administration was initiated in 2005, and olmesartan

value: 64-187 \u03bcg/dL); ferritin level, 366 ng/mL (reference value: 50-200 ng/mL); B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, 125.3 pg/mL (reference value: -18.4 pg/mL); and vitamin B1 level, 8 ng/mL (reference value: 24-66 ng/mL).\nAn electrocardiogram was normal and chest X-rays showed a normal cardiothoracic ratio (40.8%) without either pulmonary congestion or pleural effusion.\nCranial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-magnetic resonance imaging findings revealed periaqueductal hyperintensities (Fig.1); therefore, Wernicke encephalopathy was diagnosed.\nMoreover, as sinus tachycardia and a tendency towards hypotension were noted, no clear symptoms of heart failure or dehydration were observed; it was thus inferred that the vitamin B1 deficiency had likely played a role in both of the conditions.\nThe antihypertensive agents were discontinued, and 10 days after the intravenous administration of vitamin B1, the patient's loss of appetite, nausea, and gait disturbance disappeared, and his body weight increased by 3 kg.\nNystagmus was ameliorated on physical examination, but the patient still had confabulations, and the HDS-R score and absence of deep tendon reflexes did not improve.\nSince the gastrointestinal symptoms were ameliorated and his blood pressure increased to 160/90 mmHg, the PCP resumed the administration of olmesartan on late December, 2011.\nOne week later, the patient complained of recurrent decreased appetite and nausea.\nAfter experiencing diarrhea (five bowel movements during a 2-day period), he passed soft stools once daily, and his body weight decreased to 47 kg so he came to our hospital again 3 weeks after the resumption of olmesartan for treatment.\nHis vital signs were as follows: body temperature, 35.1\u2103; pulse rate, 93/min; and blood pressure, 132/75 mmHg.\nThe neurologic findings showed no worsening of his symptoms.\nThe laboratory findings were as follows: sodium level, 139 mEq/L; potassium level, 2.9 mEq/L; and chlorine level, 116 mEq/L.\nHyperchloremia was noted, and the serum sodium level minus chloride level (139-116) was 23 mEq/L; additionally, the arterial blood gas findings were as follows: pH, 7.25; PCO2, 25 mmHg, and HCO3, 11 mmol/L.\nThe urinalysis findings were as follows: sodium level, 15 mEq/L; potassium level, 13 mEq/L; chlorine level, 100 mEq/L; and urine anion gap, -72 mEq/L, and there was no apparent increase in bowel movements; however, this seemed to be due to the absence of HCO3- from the gastrointestinal tract (6).\nPlain abdominal radiography and abdominal computed tomography findings revealed the continuous dilation of the entire intestinal tract (Fig.2); therefore, the patient was diagnosed with intestinal pseudo-obstruction.\nAfter discontinuing olmesartan, the nausea and body weight decreases were promptly ameliorated.\nDuodenal biopsy findings after discontinuing olmesartan showed that the inflammation observed before discontinuation as well as the fold structure had both clearly ameliorated (Fig.3).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "76-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Japanese", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start":

valve repair.\nOn post-operative day two, the patient developed cardiac tamponade and subsequently progressed to a cardiac arrest while temporary pacing wires were being removed.\nAdvanced cardiovascular life support and emergent exploratory sternotomy were performed, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) for further care.\nDuring the patient\u2019s ICU admission, his renal failure progressed, requiring hemodialysis.\nA nasogastric tube was placed on post-operative day two for establishing early enteral nutrition.\nPEG tube insertion was suggested given his cognitive impairment and poor swallowing function on the Modified Barium Swallow test.\nHis coagulation profile prior to the procedure revealed an international normalized ratio of 1.04 and partial thromboplastin time of 36 seconds.\nA complete blood count showed a hemoglobin of 11.6 grams per deciliter, a hematocrit of 34.9%, and 281\u00d7103 platelets per microliter.\nHis blood urea nitrogen was 55 milligrams/deciliter, and his serum creatinine was 5.22 milligrams/deciliter.\nThe patient was taking aspirin 81 mg per day due to recent cardiac surgery, but was not on any anticoagulant agents.\nHe also did not have a history of coagulopathy.\nPEG tube insertion was performed on post-operative day eight under intravenous anesthesia.\nThe esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was accomplished without difficulty, revealing diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa without bleeding in the gastric antrum.\nWhile attempting PEG tube placement, a rapidly expanding hematoma (Figure 1) developed at the needle insertion site.\nThe procedure was stopped and the patient was sent back to the ICU with a nasogastric tube.\nA single dose of intravenous desmopressin (0.3 microgram/kilogram) was administered under the suspicion of uremic bleeding.\nNo further gastrointestinal bleeding events were noted.\nTo assess platelet function, a platelet function assay (PFA) was ordered after desmopressin injection.\nPFA collagen/epinephrine closure time was 195 seconds (normal <174 seconds), and collagen/ADP closure time was 76 seconds (normal <120 seconds), indicating platelet dysfunction due to either aspirin or uremia.\nAspirin was discontinued, and he was monitored with a daily complete blood count and metabolic panel.\nThree days later the patient underwent a second attempt at PEG tube placement.\nPFA collagen/epinephrine closure time prior to this procedure had gone down to 141 seconds, possibly due to withholding aspirin and an improvement in renal function.\nEGD showed an area of flat, bluish gastric submucosal bruising at the site of the previous hematoma (Figure 2).\nThe PEG tube was placed successfully at an adjacent site.\nOver the course of the following month, the patient continued to undergo feeding through the PEG tube with no adverse events.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "73-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, {

white blood cell count, 7730/\u03bcL (3500\u201311,000/\u03bcL); hemoglobin, 8.6\u200ag/dL (12\u201316\u200ag/dL): platelet count, 87000/\u03bcL (150,000\u2013400,000/\u03bcL); blood urea nitrogen, 78\u200amg/dL (6\u201321\u200amg/dL); creatinine, 8.9\u200amg/dL (1.1\u20131.5\u200amg/dL); calcium, 8.2\u200amg/dL (8.8\u201310.3\u200amg/dL); phosphorus, 5.4\u200amg/dL (2.7\u20134.5\u200amg/dL); haptoglobin, <6.56\u200amg/dL (30\u2013200\u200amg/dL); and lactate dehydrogenase, 547\u200aU/L (106\u2013211\u200aU/L).\nA routine urinalysis revealed a proteinuria score of 2+ (200\u200amg/dL), white blood cell count of 3\u20135/high power field, and red blood cell count of 25\u201350/high power field.\nThe autoimmune profile indicated an antinuclear antibody level of 1:320 (speckles; normal, <1:40).\nTests for anti-Scl70, anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-Ro, anti-La, and anticardiolipin antibodies were all negative.\nKidney echogram showed a decreased bilateral kidney size without hydronephrosis.\nDespite the chronic changes visible on the echogram, the patient had developed acute pulmonary edema and oligouria only 3 days before admission.\nAccordingly, a clinical diagnosis of acute-on-chronic renal failure was made.\nA further diagnosis of SRC was supported by the presence of renal failure with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and hypertension, and the patient was started on captopril therapy.\nThe sustained deterioration in renal function and anuria had led to a requirement for regular hemodialysis from admission.\nAfter 3 days, captopril was changed to amlodipine because the patient developed a severe, intolerable cough thought to be associated with captopril.\nHis systolic blood pressure was controlled between 140 and 180 mm Hg.\nAt approximately 3 weeks after the initiation of maintenance hemodialysis, the patient newly developed a generalized tonic-clonic seizure disorder.\nA brain computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a small lacunar infarct over the left basal ganglion without intracranial hemorrhage or large infarct.\nThe seizure resolved spontaneously without anticonvulsants, and the patient was finally discharged home without incident and scheduled for regular hemodialysis thrice weekly.\nHowever, at 1 week after discharge, the patient developed a sudden-onset headache and vomiting with confusion and recurrence of the generalized tonic-clonic seizure.\nHe presented at the emergency department with a blood pressure of 183/100 mm Hg, platelet count of 149,000/\u03bcL, serum LDH of 332\u200aU/L, and a peripheral blood smear containing 2\u20133\u200aschizocytes/HPF (Fig.2).\nBrain CT revealed no interval change, and lumbar puncture revealed traumatic tapping only.\nCerebrospinal fluid cultures were negative for bacteria, mycobacteria, and viruses.\nBrain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed bilateral hyperintensity in the occipital and parietal lobes on a fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence (Fig.3).\nFinally, the patient was diagnosed with PRES.\nWe resumed captopril therapy at a dose of 25\u200amg thrice daily.\nAs it was difficult to differentiate SRC from TTP, we also considered plasma exchange treatment.\nHowever, the patient's mental status returned to normal within 3 days in the absence of plasma exchange, and a follow-up MRI of the brain 2 months later showed complete resolution of cerebral edema (Fig.4).\nTherefore, SRC-related PRES was confirmed.\nAlthough the patient experienced a full neurologic recovery, his renal function did not improve and he remained dialysis dependent.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "36-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 4, "end": 15 }, { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 16, "end": 20 }, { "text": "6-year", "label":

progressive abdominal distention and irregular vaginal bleeding of several weeks\u2019 duration.\nA contrast CT abdomen and pelvis revealed an ill-defined, irregular mass in the lower uterine/cervical region (Figure 1).\nThere were multiple peritoneal and omental masses, enlarged pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes, and large-volume ascites.\nThe initial CBC was significant for hemoglobin of 9.2 g/dL, leukocytosis of 36 790 per microliter, and thrombocytosis of 625 000 per microliter.\nSerum calcium was elevated at 13.1 mg/dL.\nBUN and creatinine were within normal limits.\nHepatic function was within normal limits.\nA pelvic exam revealed a fungating vaginal mass.\nThe patient underwent biopsies of the endometrium and the vaginal mass, which revealed a high-grade tumor with predominantly oval-shaped cells.\nImmunohistochemical staining was positive for vimentin, CD10, and cyclin D1, consistent with a diagnosis of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (Figure 2).\nThe tumor was negative for ER, with rare cells positive for PR.\nAlthough immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratins was negative, a biphasic component could not be entirely ruled out given the small size of the biopsy specimen relative to the tumor.\nThe patient\u2019s Ca125 was markedly elevated at 1624 U/mL (nl \u226434).\nContrast CT chest revealed a right-sided pleural effusion but no suspicious nodules or lymphadenopathy.\nThe patient was deemed to have operable disease and was scheduled for debulking surgery.\nHowever, preoperative laboratory studies showed that her serum calcium had further increased to 19.2 mg/dL.\nShe had also developed evidence of acute kidney injury, with her BUN rising to 37 mg/dL and creatinine to 1.81 mg/dL.\nOn physical exam, she was noted to be lethargic, with dry mucous membranes.\nThe surgery was cancelled due to the patient\u2019s medical instability.\nFurther workup revealed an elevated PTHrP of 301 pg/mL (nl 14\u201327), a depressed PTH level of 3 pg/mL (nl 15\u201365), and a depressed 25-OH vitamin D level of 16 ng/mL (nl 30\u2013100), consistent with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.\nThe patient was treated with pamidronate, calcitonin, and intravenous fluids.\nShe eventually required temporary hemodialysis and denosumab for refractory hypercalcemia.\nThe patient improved with regard to her electrolyte abnormalities.\nGiven the extent of her disease, she was planned for neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery if a good response was achieved.\nShe was started on a regimen of carboplatin and paclitaxel, which she received for 3 cycles.\nShe also had palliative radiation to the uterus to control bleeding.\nHowever, her disease failed to respond significantly to chemotherapy, and she ultimately died from complications of malignancy.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "53-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 19 }, {

hyperuricemia and gout.\nShe also had comorbidity such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and diabetes.\nThe hemogram revealed a white blood cell count (WBC) of 700/\u03bcL, with 2% neutrophils, 94% lymphocytes and 2% monocytes, hemoglobin 11.1\u200ag/dL, and platelet count, 131,000/\u03bcL.\nUnder the impression of febrile neutropenia and acute pharyngitis, she was admitted to our hematologic ward for further survey and management.\nBroad-spectrum antibiotics with piperacillin 2\u200ag and tazobactam 0.25\u200agm i.v.\nq8h had been administered and her infection sign resolved gradually.\nUpon admission, we reviewed her oral medication: glipizide 5\u200amg tid, saxagliptin 2.5\u200amg qd, fenofibrate 600\u200amg qd, aluminum hydroxide 324\u200amg tid, folic acid 5\u200amg qd, calcium carbonate 1000\u200amg tid, and febuxostat 40\u200amg qd.\nBesides, she also received epoetin-beta 2000 iu i.v.tiw.\nExcept for febuxostat, all the other drugs had been used for more than 1 year.\nFebuxostat was administered 2\u00bd months before admission for inadequate serum uric acid control by allopurinol 50\u200amg qd.\nTwo weeks before febuxostat exposure, routine laboratory test revealed WBC 6000/\u03bcL and serum uric acid level 9.8\u200amg/dL.\nFebuxostat was discontinued thereafter due to the causal relationship of agranulocytosis cannot be excluded.\nBesides, we also surveyed viral infection and autoimmune disorder.\nThere were no clinical or laboratory evidence of Epstein\u2013Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, or human immunodeficiency virus infections; antinuclear antibody (ANA) and antiextractable nuclear antigen (anti-ENA) were both negative.\nBone marrow examination during hospitalization showed hypocellular marrow with a marked decrease in myeloid component but no evidence of hematologic neoplasms.\nChromosome analysis of bone marrow was normal karyotype.\nThe patient denied history of radiation or chemicals exposure.\nAfter stopping febuxostat for 17 days, her neutropenia improved significantly (WBC 2100/\u03bcL, and neutrophil 66%), without any granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support.\nAfter discharge, her WBC and differential count was completely normal during follow-up (Fig.1).\nThis study was approved by our institutional review board.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "67-year-old", "label": "AGE",

suspicion of DKA.\nShe had noticed polydipsia, polyuria, and fatigue approximately four months prior to admission.\nShe had also been suffering from a 1-month complaint of appetite loss, approximately 7 kg weight loss, fatigue, nausea, and sweating.\nHer medical history included GD, diagnosed at 42 years of age and managed with methimazole.\nHowever, she had poor compliance with anti-thyroid drugs.\nShe denied a family history of thyroid diseases or diabetes.\nThree days before admission, she was also diagnosed with influenza A at a nearby hospital, and oseltamivir phosphate was prescribed.\nAt the emergency department, she presented with drowsiness and a body temperature of 37.0\u2103, blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg, heart rate of 200 bpm, respiratory rate of 32 breaths/min, oxygen saturation of 99% in 5 L nasal air, and a Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score of 14.\nHer clinical examination revealed a diffuse goiter with bilateral exophthalmoses.\nHer lungs were clear when auscultated.\nHer abdomen was soft and non-tender.\nHer skin was warm and wet.\nShe had no lower extremity edema.\nThe electrocardiogram showed marked tachycardia with atrial fibrillation, and a chest radiograph was normal.\nThe laboratory data are shown in Table 1.\nHer initial laboratory data demonstrated marked metabolic acidosis, an increased plasma glucose level of 472 mg/dL, an increased HbA1c level of 13.7%, an increased free triiodothyronine level of 6.440 pg/mL, and a free thyroxine level of 2.830 ng/dL, with a suppressed thyrotropin (TSH) level of 0.005 \u03bcIU/mL.\nShe scored 55 on the diagnostic criteria of Burch & Wartofsky for thyroid storm, and the diagnostic criteria of the Japan Thyroid Association for thyroid storm were also satisfied, since she had thyrotoxicosis, symptoms involving the central nervous system, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal symptoms (4).\nAccordingly, she was diagnosed with DKA and thyroid storm and admitted to the medical intensive care unit for further monitoring and treatment.\nThe clinical course is shown in Figure.\nShe was treated with an intravenous insulin drip and aggressive intravenous fluid therapy.\nThe thyroid storm with GD was treated with intravenous hydrocortisone 100 mg every 8 hours, oral potassium iodine 50 mg every 6 hours, and oral methimazole 20 mg every 6 hours.\nSince she had a history of asthma, landiolol hydrochloride, a short-acting beta-adrenoceptor blocker, was used at 4-12 \u03bcg/kg/min to control her heart rate.\nBy Day 3, her tachycardia had resolved, and landiolol hydrochloride was discontinued.\nOn Day 6, the white blood cell count had decreased to 2,800 cells/mm3 [neutrophils, 44.2% (1,238 cells/mm3)].\nMethimazole was discontinued because methimazole-induced neutropenia was suspected.\nThe patient was referred to an endocrine surgeon, and thyroidectomy was performed on Day 32.\nShe was discharged from the hospital on Day 37 and maintained on multiple daily insulin infusion and levothyroxine sodium hydrate.\nFurther immunological investigation revealed elevated levels of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody, anti-insulinoma antigen 2 (IA-2) antibody, and insulin autoantibody, consistent with T1D.\nThe intravenous glucagon stimulation test was performed with blood samples for glucose and C-peptide taken at baseline and 6 minutes.\nHer plasma glucose levels were 139 and 152 mg/dL at baseline and 6 minutes, respectively.\nThe corresponding serum C-peptide levels were 0.8 and 1.3 ng/mL at baseline and 6 minutes, respectively.\n", "ner_info":

61-year-old male was referred to the emergency department by his general practitioner in April 2010 for investigation of loose bowel motions and an episode of black stool.\nThe patient had a history of insulin-dependent type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease with two previous ischaemic events, obstructive sleep apnoea, depression, schizophrenia and a previous incisional hernia repair.\nOn examination, he was morbidly obese (BMI 45) and was noted to have marked hepatomegaly.\nThis was not associated with any recent weight loss, haematemesis, jaundice or abdominal pain.\nThe patient denied previous blood transfusions, usage of intravenous drugs and did not drink alcohol.\nA faecal occult blood test was negative, and the patient\u2019s last colonoscopy 2 years prior was unremarkable.\nHe was referred to our tertiary centre for further management after an ultrasound scan (USS) displayed an ovoid mass of mixed echogenicity arising from the liver, measuring 12\u2009\u00d7\u20099 cm.\nA computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed a malignant appearing, pedunculated lesion attached to segment IV (Fig.1).\nA subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed that on T2 weighted imaging (WI), the lesion was isointense to the liver peripherally with central branching hyperintensities (Fig.2a) which corresponded to the hypointensities seen on T1WI (Fig.2b).\nEnhancement of the lesion was noted in arterial phase (Fig.3a), during portal venous phase (Fig.3b) and at 2 min (Fig.3c), with some central areas of non-enhancement.\nThe lesion becomes slightly hypointense on delayed images at 10 (Fig.3d) and 20 min compared to the surrounding liver.\nLaboratory investigations revealed a mildly elevated gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase of 137 IU/L (normal 5\u201350 IU/L).\nHepatitis screen, alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen 19\u20139 were all unremarkable.\nThe patient underwent a subsegmental resection of the 15 cm segment IVb mass in June 2010.\nThere was severe hepatic steatosis, but no cirrhosis.\nThe patient was discharged postoperative day seven without complications.\nPathology of the resection specimen confirmed SFTL.\nThe specimen displayed a pale tan nodular appearance with a firm and rubbery cut surface.\nHistological examination revealed fascicles of spindle cells in storiform arrangement with a pushing margin.\nThere was evidence of extracellular collagen deposition, areas of myxoid stroma and branching vessels with hyalinisation.\nThe specimen displayed a high mitotic rate of up to 9 per 10 high-power fields (HPF) with no necrotic or haemorrhagic features.\nImmunohistochemistry showed positive staining for CD34, CD99 and BCL-2.\nThe tumour was negative for c-Kit, CD31, SMA, desmin, cytokeratins (AE1/AE3, MNF116 and Cam 5.2), EMA and S100.\nThe margins were clear.\nThe non-neoplastic remainder of the liver displayed pericellular fibrosis indicative of steatohepatitis.\nThe patient was followed-up regularly every 4 to 6 months with CT scans by the local general practitioner who liaised with the consultant surgeon.\nThere were two episodes of re-admissions for further investigation of recurrent right upper quadrant pain between 2011 and 2013.\nMultiple MRI scans performed during this period revealed expected postsurgical changes with no tumour recurrence.\nHowever, in May 2016, the patient presented to his local emergency department with progressively worsening right upper quadrant pain and increasing dyspnoea with an oxygen demand.\nCT of his chest, abdomen and pelvis revealed extensive tumour recurrence adjacent to the previous resection site (Fig.4).\nIn addition, there was a clinically significant right-sided pleural effusion and a pleural mass at the right lung base measuring 3.8 cm (Fig.5).\nPleurocentesis was performed, draining 1400 ml of serosanguineous fluid.\nCytology was negative for malignant cells.\nThe case was discussed extensively in a multi-disciplinary setting, and it was decided given the patient\u2019s two sites of disease and significant perioperative risk that he was not a candidate for radical reoperation.\nThere were also no suitable chemo- or radiotherapeutic therapies available.\nThe patient was subsequently referred to the palliative team for management of his symptoms and discharged back to the community.\nHe was still alive 1 month after discharge.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "61-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 18 }, { "text":

signs were: blood pressure, 100/60 mmHg, heart rate, 100/min, respiratory rate, 25 breaths/min, and body temperature, 39 \u00b0C.\nOn the physical examination, decreased breathing sound was noted in the right lower lung.\nLaboratory tests revealed a c-reactive protein (CRP) level of 119 mg/dL, a total bilirubin level of 1.8 mg/dL, and alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels of 250 and 172 IU/L, respectively.\nHis platelet count was 98,000/mm3, while his white cell count was 8150/mm3 (neutrophil: 85%).\nIn the arterial blood gas analysis checked in room air, pH, PaCO2, PaO2, bicarbonate, and oxygen saturation levels were 7.50, 34 mmHg, 67 mmHg, 26.5 mmol/L, and 95%, respectively.\nA test for the human immunodeficiency virus was negative.\nMycoplasma and Chlamydia antibodies were negative.\nStreptococcal and Legionella urinary antigens were negative.\nAnti-nuclear and anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies were also negative.\nA chest X-ray showed consolidation in the right mid to lower lung fields.\nChest computed tomography showed consolidation with surrounding ground glass opacity in the right middle lobe with a small amount of pleural effusion in the right hemithorax (Fig.1).\nAbdominal sonography revealed no abnormal finding in the hepatobiliary system.\nWe began to administer 4 L/min of oxygen nasally and empirical antibiotics with third generation cephalosporin and macrolide following a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia.\nOn the second day in the hospital, the patient\u2019s fever was sustained and he complained of dyspnea.\nHis hypoxemia was aggravated such that he required 7 L/min of oxygen via a simple mask and the consolidation and pleural effusion had markedly progressed (Fig.2a).\nWe performed bronchoscopy and thoracentesis.\nMultiplex real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for respiratory viruses using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was positive for human adenovirus while other microbiological studies were negative.\nPleural fluid was lymphocyte-dominant exudate and was also positive for human adenovirus.\nUnder the diagnosis of adenovirus pneumonia, we started antiviral therapy with oral ribavirin 400 mg q 12 h while maintaining antibiotics.\nOn hospital day 4, his fever had subsided and symptoms were much improved.\nThe transaminase levels, CRP and platelet counts gradually normalized (Fig.3).\nA follow-up chest X-ray was clear (Fig.2b) and he was discharged in hospital day 13 without any complications.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "39-year-old",

born after an uneventful gestation of normal duration.\nAt the age of 16 months, he presented with a clinically evident enlarged abdomen and was referred for oncological examination.\nInitial tests revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, and splenomegaly.\nA bone marrow biopsy revealed the presence of foam cells, which led to suspicion of lysosomal storage disease.\nBiochemical testing revealed elevated level of acid phosphatase (47.8 IU/L [normal range 5\u20137 IU/L]) and chitotriosidase activity (508 nmol/mg protein [normal range 5.9\u201341.0 nmol/mg protein]), as well as reduced beta-glucosidase activity (2 nmol/mg/protein [normal range 4.5\u201318.0 nmol/mg/protein]).\nMolecular analysis showed homozygous L444P mutations in the GBA gene (OMIM reference 606463), confirming the diagnosis of chronic NGD.\nThe patient began ERT at a dosage of 60 U/kg every 2 weeks at the age of 18 months.\nThereafter, when the patient reached the age of 30 months, we decided to combine ERT with SRT with miglustat.\nThis clinical decision was approved by our institution\u2019s ethics committee, and informed consent was obtained from the patient\u2019s parents before commencing combination therapy.\nThe dose of miglustat was adjusted according to the patient\u2019s body surface area and was uptitrated during the first 4 weeks with the following scheme: one-third of target dose during weeks 1 and 2, two-thirds of target dose during weeks 3 and 4, and target dose (100 mg three times daily) after 1 month.\nFrom 2 weeks before starting miglustat therapy, the patient also followed specific dietary modifications, avoiding high intake of carbohydrate-containing food in single meals, especially foods high in disaccharides, such as sucrose and maltose, to ensure acceptable gastrointestinal tolerability.\nHe experienced mild episodes of diarrhea after commencing miglustat therapy, which decreased in frequency/severity over time.\nFrom the start of ERT/miglustat combination treatment, we observed a reduction in splenomegaly and a gradual normalization of hematological values and plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme activity (Table 1).\nPlasma chitotriosidase was evaluated at the time of diagnosis and then approximately every 6 months during follow-up.\nValues showed an initial reduction after the start of ERT, with a further, substantial, and sustained decrease after commencement of miglustat treatment (Fig.1).\nThe patient has been followed according to recommended guidelines for GD, which specify a complete neurological examination, clinical evaluation of ocular movements, and psychological evaluations every 6\u201312 months [10].\nAfter 5 years of combination therapy and follow-up, the patient did not show any signs of neurological impairment.\nAs of February 2016, he had not displayed any epileptic crises and had demonstrated clinical performance and cooperation.\nHe showed good muscular tone and trophism, normal reflexes with a slight hyperreflexia in his legs, and a negative Romberg sign.\nHis toe and heel deambulation was normal.\nIn particular, ocular evaluations revealed no evidence of saccadic movement velocity reduction and normal visual evoked potentials.\nThe patient\u2019s auditory brain responses were also normal.\nIn addition, he has not demonstrated any cognitive impairment, and he has regularly attended school with good performance since the age of 5 years.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "7-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 18, "end": 28 }, { "text": "Italian", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND",

64-year-old female was found lying down after 10\u201312 hours of binge drinking.\nShe was taken to an outlying emergency department (ED), and subsequently transferred to our hospital with mental status changes and respiratory distress and hypoxia for further management.\nShe had a past history of rheumatoid arthritis, congestive heart failure, controlled hypertension, and alcoholism.\nShe smoked two packs a day for the past 50 years.\nOn presentation, she had a blood pressure of 176/80 mm/Hg, heart rate of 80 bpm, respirations 24 bpm, temperature 98\u00b0F (36.7\u00b0C).\nArterial blood gases on room air showed a pH of 7.30, PaCO2 60, PaO2 61 mm/Hg, H\u2212CO3 29 mEq/L, and saturation 92% which improved to 95% with oxygen by a high flow non-rebreather mask.\nOn physical examination she was lethargic, disoriented, dysarthritic, but without neurological focalization.\nScattered expiratory wheezes were noted bilaterally along with normal heart sounds.\nThe remaining results of her physical examination and routine laboratory results were unremarkable with the exception of a leukocyte count of 14,000/dL with 88% neutrophils.\nRepeated vitals signs were consistent with a normal blood pressure but evidence of tachycardia in the monitor.\nRepeated ABG\u2019s on the non-rebreather mask showed: pH 7.22, PaCO2 78, PaO2 140 mm Hg, H\u2212CO3 30 mEq/L, and hemoglobin SaO2 97%.\nIn the ED she was started on IV steroids and antibiotics for a COPD exacerbation.\nAs part of the diagnostic workup, she underwent a chest x ray that did not show any infiltrates or any major abnormal findings.\nThe ECG was only significant for sinus tachycardia.\nGiven the negative findings on chest x ray, sinus tachycardia on ECG, and an increased A-a gradient, the patient was sent for a spiral chest CT with contrast to rule out a pulmonary embolism.\nDuring CT about 100\u2013150 mL of air was inadvertently injected through the right antecubital vein using a power contrast injector (estimated by the technician and approximation of volumes on available imaging).\nConcurrent imaging (CT) showed a significant amount of air in the right atrium and right ventricular cavity (Figure 1), and air mixed with contrast in the main pulmonary artery and its proximal branches divisions of the pulmonary circulation (Figure 2).\nConcurrently, a filling defect was noted in the right lower lobe artery consistent with pulmonary thromboembolism (Figures 3, \u200b,4).4).\nThe patient maintained hemodynamic stability with Trendelenburg, and left lateral decubitus positioning (Durant\u2019s maneuver), and supportive care alone and she was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) for observation.\nHer respiratory distress worsened, and she was placed temporarily on non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) without improvement and a few hours later she was intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation.\nIntravenous full dose heparin infusion (initial bolus, 80 units/kg, followed by 18 units/kg/hour) was initiated for treatment of concurrent thromboembolism.\nEchocardiography did not show any evidence of right or left ventricular failure.\nSubsequent echocardiography done 24 hours later did not show any evidence of intracardiac air and complete resolution of the air embolism.\nDuring the next 48 hours, she remained hemodynamically stable with no requirements of vasoactive agents.\nShe was finally extubated 48 hours after the initial presentation.\nShe was later discharged home on warfarin with subsequent outpatient follow-up.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "64-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "female", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 20 }, { "text": "lying down", "label":

"full_text": "This 73-year-old female, with a history of coronary artery disease and situs inversus, had recently noticed left arm exercise weakness.\nThe magnetic resonance angiogram and computer tomography of the upper limb vessels showed critical stenosis of the left-side SCA with calcification near the orifice (Fig.1).\nPercutaneous revascularization was done via right femoral artery approach, and severe left SCA stenosis was confirmed (Fig.2A) (Supplementary Video 1, only online).\nDirect stenting in the left SCA was carried out with a balloon-expansible Express LD 10\u00d725 mm stent (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA, USA) (Fig.2B) up to 8 atmospheres for 13 seconds.\nHowever, severe shortness of breath and hypotension developed after stenting.\nThe blood pressure was down to 88/56, and the heart rate was up to 90.\nThe oxygen saturation was down to 74%.\nEmergent intubation, fluid infusion, inotropic agent with norepinephrine were given.\nThe immediate angiography showed vascular perforation in the stented segment of left SCA (Fig.2C) (Supplementary Video 2, only online).\nEmergency balloon inflation within the stent was done with an 8\u00d740 mm balloon.\nThe cardiovascular surgeon was also consulted.\nHowever, due to the high surgical risk of bypass, endovascular treatment was suggested.\nWe decided to do a retrograde approach through the left brachial artery by surgical cut-down.\nSince there was no suitable graft stent in our cath lab, we modified and cut the iliac extension of self-expanding Endurant II graft stent 10\u00d782 mm (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), which was originally designed to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), to a suitable length (around 30 mm) (Fig.3).\nAfter retrograde wiring, an operator-modified Endurant II graft stent was deployed in the stent segment (Fig.2D) and the perforation was sealed successfully.\nAfter stenting of the graft stent, however, slow flow of left common carotid artery (LCCA) was noted, and angiography confirmed the near total occlusion of the LCCA, occluded by the SCA graft stent (Fig.2E) (Supplementary Video 3, only online).\nA firm wire (Conquest pro, Asahi Inc, Seto, Japan) was successfully advanced outside the graft stent and into the LCCA.\nDespite sequent balloon dilations at the bifurcation site, the flow to the LCCA was still poor.\nIntravascular ultrasound also confirmed the severe compromise of the LCCA ostium which was caused by the graft stent (Fig.2F).\nTherefore, we put a balloon-expansible carotid stent, Express 7\u00d737 mm (Boston Scientific Corporation), from the LCCA to the left brachiocephalic artery (Fig.4A).\nTIMI III flow of the LCCA was restored after stenting (Fig.4B-E) (Supplementary Video 4, only online).\nIntravascular ultrasound also confirmed proper expansion of the LCCA stent (Fig.4F).\nThe follow-up chest radiography revealed left-side hemothorax.\nAfter thoracocentesis with drainage and proper care, the patient was discharged.\nTill now, the patient has been free from symptoms for six months.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "73-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 5, "end": 16 }, {

65-year-old woman reported persistent back pain for almost 3 months.\nThe symptoms would be severe after walking or changing positions and would be slightly relieve after taking painkillers.\nThe patient described no pain or numbness in her legs.\nShe also described no bowel or bladder voiding difficulties.\nThe patient reported past medical history of hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and asthma, all of which were well controlled.\nPhysical exam demonstrated kyphosis of the thoracic spine in standing position and lumbar vertebra bend forward and backward straight activities were limited.\nThere is obvious rap pain in back about T12 level.\nThe patient's general medical examination was unremarkable in upper and lower extremity motor, stretch reflex, and sensory examinations.\nX-ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams were performed after the patient in hospital (Fig.1).\nThe lateral X-ray showed T12 fracture with 40\u00b0 kyphotic cobb angle.\nCT showed an intravertebral vacuum sign.\nSagittal T1-weighted MRI showed a decreased signal intravertebral vacuum cleft and posterior cortex breakage with cord compression in T12.\nSagittal T2-weighted MRI showed an increased signal in the intravertebral vacuum cleft.\nThe patient was diagnosed with K\u00fcmmell disease (Stage III).[9]\nThe operation was performed under general anesthesia and prone position.\nA standard posterior exposure of the spine was given, pedicle screws were inserted in target vertebrae T10, T11, L1, and L2 under C-arm guidance.[10] The screws were connected on the left side with a temporary stabilizing rod.\nLaminectomy was performed to decompress and fully visualize the spinal cord.[10] Careful subperiosteal dissection was carried out on the right side to exposure the lateral wall of the T12 vertebral body until the anterior aspect was reached.\nThe right side pedicle and articular process of the T12 vertebral body were removed.\nT11/T12 and T12/L1 intervertebral disks were also removed.\nThen, the temporary stabilizing rod was replaced by rod bended to the desired contour.\nAutologous bone graft and titanium mesh were placed in the intervertebral space.\nAnother rod with the desired contour was connected on the right side.\nAdequate hemostasis was ensured and wound was thoroughly irrigated with saline.\nDrainage tube was inserted and the surgical wound was closed layer-by-layer.[10] Time from skin incision to completion of wound closure lasted 150\u200aminutes, and estimated blood loss totaled 600\u200amL.\nPostoperatively, the patient was given preventive antibiotic treatment for 1 day, pain treatment for 3 days, and anticoagulant therapy for 1 week.\nThe drainage tube was removed at 3 days postoperative when volume of drainage was less than 50\u200amL per 24\u200ahours.\nPatient was allowed out of bed with a custom-made plastic orthosis at 1 week after operation.\nThe plastic orthosis was kept for at least 3 months.\nThe patient was allowed out of hospital at 12 days after operation when surgical suture had been removed.\nPain assessments were conducted using the visual analogue scale (VAS).\nVAS for preoperative, 1 week after operation, and 1 year after operation were 9 score, 3 score, and 2 score, respectively, which demonstrated significant improvement.\nThe patient resumed normal activities and returned to work at 3 months after operation.\nKyphotic Cobb angle for preoperative, 1 week after operation, and 1 year after operation were 40\u00b0, 8\u00b0,

consisted of busulphan cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin (BUCY+ATG) (10).\nCyclosporine A (CsA) and short-term methotrexate (MTX) plus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) were used as prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (11).\nStandard measures were adopted for the prevention of infectious complications, which included fluconazole for antifungal prophylaxis and acyclovir to prevent herpes-related infections.\nA hemogram revealed the reconstruction of granulocytes (ANC>0.5\u00d7109/L) on day +12 post-transplantation.\nThe patient developed grade II acute GVHD of the skin on day +42 post-transplantation.\nThis was treated by treatment with a standard-dose of methyl-prednisolone, which achieved a complete response (CR).\nThe patient's chronic GVHD (cGVHD) of the skin gradually progressed from day +100 post-transplantation and he was treated with prednisolone and CsA.\nOn day 120 post-transplantation, he complained of a cough and antibiotics were administered.\nA blood analysis revealed the following: WBC, 2.34\u00d7109/L; ANC, 1.72\u00d7109/L; hemoglobin, 85 g/L; and platelets, 72\u00d7109/L.\nAlthough both a chest computed tomography (CT) scan and tests for pathogens via routine culturing, including blood tests for Beta-D glucan (G-test) and Galactomannan (GM-test) were all negative, the patient's cough did not respond to antibiotics and we empirically initiated treatment with voriconazole (6 mg/kg/12h for the first day, followed by 4 mg/kg/12h).\nLiver toxicity occurred during voriconazole treatment, thus the anti-fungal regimen was changed to micafungin (100 mg/d).\nHowever, the persistent cough did not improve and hoarseness developed after two weeks of treatment - ulcers were then observed in the throat by laryngoscopy (Fig.1a).\nThe patient developed severe dyspnea in the following week when anti-infection and topical treatments were applied.\nFiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed an irregular, nodular material with white moss, which nearly obstructed the bronchus; however, chest CT imaging was negative (Fig.1b and c).\nThe histopathological examination of biopsy specimens revealed an Aspergillus species (Fig.1d).\nThe patient was diagnosed with pseudomembranous Aspergillus tracheobronchitis type ITBA based on the results of bronchoscopy and a pathological examination (12).\nThe antibiotic and micafungin treatments were ceased and liposomal amphotericin B (liposomal AmB) was administered daily at a target dose of 3 mg/kg.\nThe patient's serum creatinine level rose from 60.4 \u03bcmol/L to 168 \u03bcmol/L during the first 7 days of liposomal AmB treatment.\nDue to progressive renal dysfunction, the anti-fungal regimen was switched to a combination of posaconazole (400 mg/12 h) and caspofungin [50 mg, daily (70 mg for the first dose)].\nThe combination therapy continued for 2 weeks, until the previous nodules in the throat completely disappeared under bronchoscopy (Fig.2a); however, a repeat chest CT scan showed progression (Fig.2b).\nThe symptom of dyspnea gradually progressed, thus fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed to remove the obstructive material from the patient's airways once a week for two weeks.\nAll of the symptoms were relieved and the final chest CT scan showed negative results before the discontinuation of anti-fungal therapy, and all of the tests were negative for Aspergillus.\nPosaconazole was administered as a secondary prophylactic treatment and the patient was discharged from hospital.\nThe patient is still being followed and remains free of any recurrence of invasive fungal infection.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "23-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text": "severe aplastic

who had severe diabetic neuropathy and diabetic-ESRD complained of respiratory distress and sudden chest pain.\nOn the first day of treatment, he visited the emergency room.\nA physical examination revealed that his body temperature was 35.4\u00b0C, his heart rate was 90 beats/min with a regular rhythm; and his blood pressure was 130/77 mmHg.\nA physical examination revealed coarse crackles on bilateral lung auscultation.\nThe laboratory data showed a WBC count of 8,800/\u03bcL with a shift to the left (neutrophils 82%), Hb 10.2 g/dL, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 82.2 mg/dL, creatinine (Cre) 6.50 mg/dL, HbA1c 5.9%, creatine kinase (CK) 189 IU/L, C-reactive protein (CRP) 8.51 mg/dL, brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) 127.4 pg/mL.\nA chest radiograph revealed perihilar consolidations and air bronchograms (Fig.1).\nAn electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevation and poor R-wave progression in leads V1-V3, and echocardiography revealed apical and ventricular asynergy.\nThe patient was therefore diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure.\nCoronary angiography was performed, revealing severe angiostenosis in the septal branch.\nPCI was therefore performed.\nThe patient required continuous maintenance dialysis.\nOn the following day, the patient went into cardiorespiratory arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed, followed by mechanical ventilation.\nOn day 8, ventilator assistance was discontinued.\nHowever, the patient produced an increasing volume of sputum, which began to appear purulent.\nPseudomonas aeruginosa was identified from a sputum culture, and tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) (4.5g q12h) was administered.\nDespite this therapy, the patient's respiratory condition worsened and a chest computed tomography (CT) scan on day 15 revealed bilateral perihilar opacities, pleural effusion, and atelectasis.(Fig.2).\nWe suspected the development of complications such as microbial substitution, pneumomycosis and thus performed sputum culturing and serum fungal antigen tests.\nThe administration of TAZ/PIPC was changed to meropenem (0.5 g/day).\nOn day 16, the patient's serum tested positive for Cryptococcus antigen.\nOn day 21, cryptococcal bodies were identified in two sets of blood cultures and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) (3 mg/kg/day) was administered.\nOn day 23, cryptococcal bodies were identified in the sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, and bilateral pleural effusion (Fig.3).\nThe patient was therefore diagnosed with disseminated cryptococcosis.\nOn day 25, brain CT revealed the absence of intracranial hypertension and a brain abscess.\nThe patient was not infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).\nThe administration of L-AMB (3 mg/kg/day) was continued.\nOn day 31, chest CT revealed a solitary nodule in the left lingular segment for the first time, which was suspected to be a pulmonary cryptococcus lesion (Fig.4a).\nAfter several days, all of the sputum, blood, bilateral pleural effusion, and cerebrospinal fluid cultures tested negative.\nOn day 52, chest CT revealed another lung nodule in the right pulmonary apical region.\nThese nodules gradually decreased in size until day 79 (Fig.4b and c).\nAlthough L-AMB was considered effective, the C-reactive protein level remained elevated and the bilateral pleural effusion continuously increased.\nThe patient lost consciousness because of decreased vital capacity with increasing bilateral pleural effusion and was diagnosed with CO2 narcosis.\nThe patient's general condition deteriorated.\nOn day 87, ventricular fibrillation occurred and the patient died.\nAutopsy was not performed.\nAt a later date, the Cryptococcus isolate was identified and classified as Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (serotype A) by a genetic analysis.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "73-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text": "type 2

living-donor kidney transplantation 14 years previously.\nHis medical condition had been almost stable for 14 years.\nHe developed multifocal salmon-pink skin discoloration, and swelling and spontaneous pain in the left knee and leg.\nThe symptoms had gradually expanded across the right forearm and outside of the right thigh.\nHe was admitted to our hospital for the evaluation of fever (39 \u00b0C) and multifocal cellulitis (Fig.1).\nTwo months before admission, he had developed chronic diarrhea.\nHis serum creatinine level was stabilized at 1.7 mg/dL with maintenance immunosuppressive therapy comprising tacrolimus (3 mg/day), mycophenolate mofetil (1500 mg/day), and prednisone (4 mg every other day).\nThe tacrolimus trough concentration was 6.3 ng/mL.\nThe patient had been a dog breeder for 12 years.\nOn admission, his white blood cell count was 12,400/\u03bcL and his C-reactive protein level was 3.9 mg/dL.\nThe patient was initially treated with ampicillin/sulbactam (9 g/day intravenously).\nTwo days after the initiation of this therapy, he was afebrile.\nFour days later, an automated blood culture (Bactec FX\u00ae; Becton\u2013Dickinson and Company, Sparks, MD, USA) showed positivity for gram-negative spiral bacilli.\nA colony obtained from the patient\u2019s blood culture was analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS (Biotyper ver. 3.0\u00ae; Bruker Corporation, Germany).\nThe identification score was 2.064 (>2.0), indicating accurate identification of H. cinaedi (Fig.2).\nAdditional evaluation of the patient\u2019s blood specifically for H.\ncinaedi by means of gyrase subunit B (gyrB)-targeted PCR assays (using the forward primer AGGGATTCCACAAAGTGAGC and the reverse primer TCTTGTCCTGTGCGTTCATC to amplify the region of the gyrB gene) yielded positive results.\nWe performed gyrB-targeted PCR using a single colony isolated from a blood culture.\nWe used distilled water (DNA- and DNase-free water) as a negative control to prevent contamination of gyrB-targeted PCR (Fig.3).\nIn addition, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing of this strain, and the results were > 99% consistent with the existing sequence (Fig.4).\nGiven these results, we diagnosed the patient with H.\ncinaedi bacteremia with cellulitis.\nWe examined the genomic heat shock protein (HSP) 60 sequence of the blood culture isolate, which resulted in identification of cluster B H. cinaedi.\nA blood culture obtained at 11 days was positive for H.\ncinaedi, but a culture obtained at 15 days was negative.\nThe patient\u2019s cellulitis gradually resolved.\nThe patient continued antibiotic treatment for a total of 6 weeks (ampicillin-sulbactam in a drip for 2 weeks and oral levofloxacin for 4 weeks), and he had no recurrence 6 months after this therapy.\nHis stool culture was negative, although it was taken after treatment.\nWe did not apply enteric bacteria elimination in this case.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "54-year-old", "label":

of breath.\nTen years prior, she presented with bilateral uveitis and lupus pernio (LP) on her right ear and was subsequently diagnosed with sarcoidosis.\nShe was successfully treated for these conditions and her sarcoidosis remained quiescent until three years ago, when, at an outside institution, she was discovered to have laryngeal involvement.\nShe was treated with prednisone 60 mg daily for several months and eventually tapered to 10 mg daily.\nHer sarcoidosis remained well-controlled on this maintenance dose of prednisone until six months prior, at which time she self-discontinued her prednisone in favor of the homeopathic treatment Nopalea cactus juice, which unsubstantially claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties [4].\nSubsequently, she developed dyspnea on exertion progressing to dyspnea at rest.\nDuring this time her voice became increasingly hoarse and she experienced frequent episodes of difficulty swallowing.\nIn our emergency department, her physical examination was concerning for respiratory distress as she presented with inspiratory stridor and hoarseness.\nShe also had chronic-appearing, indurated lesions on her right ear.\nGiven that she had signs of upper airway disease for impending respiratory failure, an emergent bedside laryngoscopy was performed, revealing an obstructed airway with the epiglottis retroflexed over the glottis and significant edema in the arytenoids and aryepiglottic folds.\nShe was immediately treated with high-dose intravenous dexamethasone and taken emergently to the operating room (OR) to secure her airway for concern for complete upper airway obstruction, which was confirmed with direct visualization of her larynx in the OR.\nShe was intubated for a surgical airway, and after taking biopsies from the lingual surface of her epiglottis, a #4 cuffed Shiley\u2122 tracheostomy was placed.\nHer respiratory status immediately stabilized, was extubated, and transferred to our medical intensive care unit.\nHer tracheostomy was exchanged to a #4 cuffless Shiley on postoperative day 5.\nDuring this time she was transitioned from intravenous dexamethasone to prednisone 60 mg daily.\nBiopsies ultimately revealed non-necrotizing epithelioid granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis (Figure 1).\nShe was prescribed this high-dose prednisone for three months, and after receiving education for self-tracheostomy care, she was discharged home.\nAt her subsequent one-month and three-month follow-up visits, she denied any further respiratory issues.\nRepeat laryngoscopies showed significant improvement in the edema in the arytenoids and aryepiglottic folds, but the epiglottis continued to obscure the glottis despite therapy with high-dose prednisone.\nMethotrexate was initiated while prednisone was tapered to 10 mg daily; however, this regimen failed and her prednisone dosage was increased to 20 mg daily to reduce edema.\nBecause she declined surgical treatment, she will continue with medical management with immunosuppressive therapy to facilitate eventual de-cannulation.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "37-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "African

Hospital of Tongji Medical College in September 2015with a complaint of recurrent infections in the umbilical region.\nShe reported abdominal pain similar to a burning sensation that accompanied the discharge of faecal matter.\nThese symptoms and signs waxed and waned but lasted for 5years.\nOur attention was piqued by the fact that the patient\u2019s family described the patient as an individual who cried easily.\nThe patient had no history of diarrhoea, constipation or other abdominal disturbances.\nNo surgical treatment was mentioned in her prior medical history.\nAcoordinated physical examination revealed normal vital signs.\nAn external fistula was located in the umbilical region with redness of the surrounding skin.\nMorphological examination indicated that fistula secretions mainly consisted of small intestinal juice.\nThe abdominal wall was soft, with no tenderness.\nBowel sounds were regular.\nEscherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis were detected in the fistula secretion culture.\nOther findings from laboratory examinations were normal.\nA CT scan of the abdomen revealed that part of the intestinal wall was adhered to the abdominal wall in the navel region, although no bowel obstruction was detected (Fig.1).\nA presumptive diagnosis of ECF was reached; this diagnosis was mainly based on digital radiography of the fistulous tract conducted using iopamidol-370 as a contrast agent.\nThis procedure was performed under local anaesthesia and revealed that the distal ileum approximately 40 cm from the ileocaecal junction was entrapped (Fig.2).\nThe patient agreed to surgery after a clear preoperative conversation.\nShe understood the operative risk factors and signed an informed consent.\nAfter bowel preparation, the patient received an exploratory laparotomy.\nThe abdominal cavity was completely exposed, and a loop of the terminal ileum (approximately 40 cm proximal to the ileocaecal junction) was found entrapped in the internal hernia ring; this finding was consistent with the preoperative contrast image.\nThe defect in the abdominal wall was less than 1.0 cm, and an extremely small portion of the bowel wall was stuck and could not be retrieved back into the cavity (Fig.3).\nNonetheless, this defect resulted in perforation over the loop (Fig.4).\nSide-to-side ileo-ileal anastomosis was completed by utilizing a 75 mm linear stapler to remove the affected ileum segment.\nThe internal hernia ring was closed with plication sutures instead of via mesh repair due to the patient\u2019s small defect and infection risk.\nThe abdominal cavity was thoroughly cleaned with saline solution, and a rubber drainage tube was placed in the pelvis.\nThe scar tissue was removed to improve wound healing; subsequently, relaxation sutures were available to close the abdomen in layers.\nA final diagnosis of Richter\u2019s hernia presenting as spontaneous ECF was reached.\nThe patient was discharged 2 weeks after surgery without serious complications.\nNo hernia recurrence was observed during 10 months of follow-up.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "62-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text":

3-month-old infant from the UAE with a genetically-confirmed diagnosis of Jarcho-Levin syndrome and dependent on mechanical ventilation since birth was admitted to our centre for the implantation of VEPTRs.\nWe received an intubated patient, mechanically ventilated in a volume-controlled mode, with a 0.30\u20130.45 fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (peak inspiratory pressures (PIP) of 23\u201345\u2005cm\u2005H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 7\u2005cm\u2005H2O, backup respiratory rate (RR) of 34).\nA chest X-ray of the thorax was performed on admission (figure 1A), and a month after the first surgery (figure 1B), showing improvement of the bilateral posterior atelectasis in the base of the lungs.\nOwing to the difficulty of progressing in the weaning process from mechanical ventilation after the VEPTRs were implanted to expand the thorax, a bronchoscopy was performed, showing bronchomalacia predominantly in both upper lobar bronchi.\nAs prolonged mechanical ventilation was expected, a tracheostomy was previously performed.\nAfter an initial CT scan (figure 2A), a follow-up CT scan (figure 2B) a month after the surgery showed a resolution of the posterior-basal atelectasis, coinciding with a decrease of FiO2 to 0.21.\nPostoperatively, the patient was on the Servo-i ventilator in a volume-controlled mode and needed variable PIPs between 25 and 45\u2005cm\u2005H2O and PEEP values of 7\u201311\u2005cm\u2005H2O.\nDuring the attempts to wean the patient off the ventilator in the following months, he was unable to activate the inspiratory flow trigger and required significant sedoanalgesia to adapt to the ventilator due to repeated episodes of desaturation, on some occasions with bradycardia, associated to bronchial collapse.\nHe continued to have asynchrony which required boluses of sedation in addition to existing medications.\nHe initially received fentanyl and midazolam through a continuous infusion pump with progressive increase in the doses as well as continuous cisatracurium as a muscular relaxant to adapt to mechanical ventilation (figure 3).\nAs clinical stabilisation was achieved, the muscular relaxant was withdrawn and a progressive decrease of sedation was initiated along with a change in the drug regimen.\nDuring this period, the patient developed an ocular flutter which was attributed to a pharmacological cause after neurological alterations were ruled out with normal EEG, ophthalmoscopy, metabolic workup and cranial MRI.\nAt 5\u2005months of age, the NAVA mode started to improve the patient's adaptation to the ventilator through the use of a neural trigger.\nThe NAVA catheter additionally costs around \u20ac200 per catheter; according to the manufacturer it should be changed every 5\u2005days.\nIt was required for 7\u2005months; nevertheless the catheters were changed every 15\u2005days without observing a deterioration of the Edi signal.\nAccording to the literature, Jarcho-Levin syndrome does not appear with mental retardation and life expectancy is pretty long, so ethically, we considered that this patient should have an opportunity to overcome his thoracic insufficiency if it were technically possible.\nTachypnoea was initially observed with a RR of 55 without other signs of increase in his work of breathing and his RR eventually returned to normal for his age (40) over the next few days.\nThe synchrony achieved with the ventilator allowed a progressive decrease of the sedoanalgesia he received until it was completely withdrawn in 10\u2005days; and the need for extra boluses of sedation was reduced to zero.\nConcurrently to the reduction of sedation, his ocular flutter disappeared and he showed significant progress in his psychomotor development.\nThe settings used were: NAVA level of 1\u2005cm\u2005H2O/\u00b5V, PEEP 11\u2005cm\u2005H2O, Edi trigger 0.5\u2005\u00b5V.\nThe patient had tidal volumes (Vt) of 6\u20137\u2005mL/kg (figure 3).\nAfter 10\u2005days on the NAVA mode, he did not require any type of sedation and the sporadic episodes of bronchial collapse were resolved with a quick increase of PEEP to 20\u2005cm\u2005H2O or manual ventilation with the self-inflating bag.\nOnce he was stabilised on the NAVA mode, his PIPs oscillated between 15 and 45\u2005cm\u2005H2O with a NAVA level of 0.4 and Edi peaks between 15 and 100\u2005\u00b5V.\nA posterior pulmonary CT scan performed 2\u2005months after the first surgery, 1\u2005month after starting NAVA and prior to the first thoracic expansion, showed a significant reduction in the posterobasal atelectases previously observed (figure 2B).\nWhen he turned 1\u2005year old, after several attempts with different devices Trilogy 100 (Philips), Astral 150 (ResMed), the patient finally tolerated mechanical ventilation with a home ventilator (Monnal T-50, Air Liquide) in a volume assisted/controlled mode with the following settings: Vt 80\u2005mL (9\u2005mL/kg), PEEP 10\u2005cm\u2005H2O, flow trigger 0.5\u2005L/min.\nHis PIPs were around 30\u2005cm\u2005H2O.\nHe did not tolerate a decrease of PEEP below 9\u2005cm\u2005H2O or short disconnections from the ventilator.\nCurrently, the patient is 19\u2005months old, is able to walk and his neurodevelopment seems to be normal.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "3-month-old", "label":

endometriosis and prescribed a combination oral contraceptive pill (drospirenone/ethinylestradiol betadex, trade name; Yaz\u2122, Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany).\nFollowing the Kumamoto Earthquakes and subsequent aftershocks in April 2016, she spent 7 nights in a vehicle.\nShe noticed sudden dyspnea on effort when she walked outside the car on the 8th morning after the first earthquake.\nAlthough she walked around for personal reasons during the daytime, she spent nights in her small car with her legs in a hanging position.\nShe noticed swelling and pain in her left lower extremity, and her serum D-dimer levels were 13.2 \u03bcg/mL.\nDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) was suspected by her home doctor.\nA contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT)-scan revealed a contrast deficit in the bilateral pulmonary artery (Fig.2A) and in the left lower extremity (posterior tibial, soleus and gastrocnemius vein) (Fig.2B).\nHer right ventricular function was intact (estimated pulmonary artery pressure=29/8 mmHg in cardiac ultrasound).\nHer plasma brain natriuretic peptide and high-sense troponin T concentration levels were 97.2 pg/mL and 0.0061 ng/mL, respectively.\nShe was diagnosed with PTE and admitted to our department.\nOn admission, her blood pressure was 129/80 mmHg and her heart rate was 72 beats per minute.\nHer degree of oxygen saturation (SaO2) in arterial blood gas was 97.7%.\nHer body mass index was 24.4 kg/m2.\nElectrocardiography and cardiac ultrasound did not indicate heart failure.\nAn investigation of most factors related to thrombus formation (including protein C, protein S, antithrombin, and antiphospholipid antibodies) revealed that all such factors were normal.\nThe discontinuation of the oral contraceptive and the administration of rivaroxaban (30 mg, daily), a direct oral anticoagulant (trade name: Xarelto\u2122, Bayer) was initiated according to the results of the EINSTEIN-PE trial (3).\nAfter 7 days, a follow-up contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a reduction in the thrombosis (Fig.3).\nThe patient was followed up with rivaroxaban.\nThe patient gave her consent for the publication of this study.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

years of age.\nAt that time, a chest radiograph and chest computed tomography (CT) revealed diffuse ground-glass opacity (GGO) in the bilateral lung fields (Fig.1,2), and a bronchoscopic examination revealed the accumulation of large amounts of blood in the trachea and bronchi (Fig.3).\nThe patient's bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was bloody and contained numerous hemosiderin-laden macrophages.\nA culture test of the BALF revealed no findings.\nAn electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiogram revealed no abnormalities.\nA questionnaire that was completed at that time did not reveal the patient's hemorrhagic episode or a family history of bleeding disease, with the exception of his younger brother who had been diagnosed with hepatitis C.\nFurthermore, he had not received any drugs that had the potential to cause DAH.\nFollowing the above-mentioned examinations, DAH due to some sort of vasculitis was suspected.\nThus, treatment with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (1,000 mg daily) for 3 days followed by prednisolone (25 mg daily) was initiated.\nThis relieved his symptoms.\nChest CT showed the resolution of the GGO.\nThe patient's prednisolone dose was tapered and eventually discontinued at two-and-a-half years after his discharge from our hospital.\nThe patient was readmitted to our hospital with a recurrence of hemoptysis at 46 years of age.\nThe above-described therapy was initiated and led to the improvement of his condition.\nThe prednisolone dose was tapered from 60 mg daily to a maintenance dose of 5 mg daily.\nAt 48 years of age, he was readmitted to our hospital with a further recurrence of hemoptysis.\nAt this point, he had steroid-induced diabetes mellitus, which was treated with glimepiride (3 mg daily).\nAt admission, his weight was 75 kg and height 167 cm; his vital signs were as follows: blood pressure, 178/102 mmHg; pulse rate, 109 beats/min, pulse oximetry, 97% in room air; and body temperature, 36.8\u00b0C.\nChest auscultation revealed fine crackles in the right lung field.\nNo skin rash, subcutaneous bleeding or joint swelling were present.\nA chest radiograph and CT showed the presence of diffuse GGO in the bilateral lung fields.\nMild anemia was observed (hemoglobin, 11.3 g/dL), although hemoglobin levels had been 14.6 g/dL prior to the hemoptysis episode.\nThe activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was prolonged to 53.5 seconds (normal range, 25.1-40.7 seconds).\nLaboratory tests showed that the patient's blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels were 299 mg/dL and 8.2%, respectively, due to the steroid-induced diabetes mellitus.\nAutoantibodies for various collagen diseases were negative (Table).\nWe diagnosed the condition as a recurrence of DAH and again administered high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone for 3 days, followed by prednisolone (60 mg daily).\nHis condition improved, as had been observed during the previous episodes.\nA further detailed inquiry regarding the patient's medical history revealed that, as an elementary school student, he had been hospitalized and had received blood transfusions twice following abnormally heavy bleeding after tooth extraction; however, a specific congenital bleeding disorder had not been diagnosed at that time.\nIt was also revealed that his younger brother had been diagnosed with hemophilia B during adolescence.\nConsidering the possibility of hemophilia, his blood coagulation factors were examined, revealing that his factor IX activity was 3%.\nThe patient was subsequently diagnosed with moderate hemophilia B.\nBy the time of this diagnosis, the patient's DAH had already resolved with the corticosteroid therapy.\nWe decided to continue treating the patient using prednisolone alone, without coagulation factor IX replacement therapy.\nNo recurrence of DAH or hemorrhagic symptoms have been observed during 3 years since the tapering and discontinuation of prednisolone.\n",

against U1-ribonucleoprotein in 2005 and received 10 mg of prednisolone daily.\nPulmonary arterial systolic pressure estimated by echocardiography was slightly elevated (48 mmHg) in 2006.\nShe felt progressive shortness of breath on physical effort in 2011.\nPulmonary arterial hypertension was diagnosed with 74 mmHg of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) evaluated by right heart catheterization (RHC) in 2012.\nCyclophosphamide-based immunosuppressive therapy was proposed but refused because of possible early menopausal symptoms.\nTreatment with 250 mg/day of bosentan and 120 \u03bcg/day of beraprost was initiated.\nHowever, in January 2014, her dyspnea deteriorated (WHO functional class IV), and she was admitted to our hospital.\nA physical examination showed low systemic blood pressure (89/61 mmHg), tachycardia (104/min), low blood oxygen level (percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) 95%), jugular venous distension, and severe systemic edema.\nCoarse crackles and loud pulmonic valve closure sounds were detected.\nShe was unable to undergo the 6-minute walk test due to severe dyspnea.\nLaboratory examinations showed elevated plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level (929.4 pg/mL), hypoxemia (PaO2 62.5 mmHg, PaCO2 27.1 mmHg), and the presence of antibodies against U1-ribonucleoprotein (97.9 U/mL) as well as antinuclear antibodies (1:640, speckled pattern).\nA chest X-ray showed enlarged pulmonary arteries and cardiomegaly (Figure).\nElectrocardiogram showed P wave elevation in the V1-V2 leads.\nRHC demonstrated elevated mPAP (65 mmHg) with normal pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (12 mmHg), high pulmonary vascular resistance (1,547 dyne\u30fbsec\u30fbcm-5), and decreased cardiac output (cardiac index 1.69 L/min/m2).\nA ventilation/perfusion scan showed no signs of pulmonary thromboembolism.\nNo signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung diseases were found with computed tomography.\nHer dyspnea was therefore considered to be due to MCTD-associated PAH which was refractory to bosentan and beraprost therapy.\nIn addition to supportive therapy with oxygen supplementation and diuretics (40 mg/day of furosemide), initiation of 60 mg/day of sildenafil as well as gradual increment in the dose of beraprost was chosen as an additional treatment.\nHowever, her dyspnea remained unchanged, and her plasma BNP level increased.\nIVCY (750 mg/m2, every 4 weeks) was initiated, and the dose of prednisolone was increased to 60 mg daily.\nHer dyspnea then ameliorated, and she became able to undergo the 6-minute walk test (260 m, minimum SpO2 95 %).\nHer plasma BNP level also decreased after the initiation of IVCY (Figure).\nSix months after the admission, a follow-up RHC revealed improved mPAP (65 to 53 mmHg), pulmonary vascular resistance (1,547 to 1,116 dyne\u30fbsec\u30fbcm-5), and cardiac index (1.69 to 1.83 L/min/m2) (Table).\nSince she remained stable but did not obtain further improvements 18 months after the admission (Table), we consider parenteral prostanoids or lung transplantation as a subsequent treatment.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "34-year-old", "label":

significant past medical history was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a routine medical examination and received anti-TB therapy that included isoniazid (INH, 300\u200amg/d), RMP (450\u200amg/d), ethambutol (EMB, 750\u200amg/d), and pyrazinamide (PZA, 1500\u200amg/d).\nAfter 1 week of continuous therapy, he was admitted to the Tibet People's Hospital with nasal hemorrhage and the platelet (PLT) count was 0.4\u200a\u00d7\u200a109/L (normal range, 100\u2013300\u200a\u00d7\u200a109/L).\nEpistaxis was cured after symptomatic treatment.\nTwo days later, he developed hematochezia, hematuria, and purpura, and required transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma and platelets in another local hospital.\nFour days later (November 18, 2015), he was transferred to the West China Hospital due to the ineffective treatment.\nOn physical examination, he presented with pallor, mild jaundice on the sclera, purpura, tachycardia (heart rate 132/min) and weak breath sounds at the base of the left lung.\nLaboratory results on admission indicated DIC: prothrombin time (17.8\u200aseconds; normal range, 9.6\u201312.8\u200aseconds), international normalized ratio (1.53; normal range, 0.88\u20131.15), fibrinogen (1.13\u200ag/L; normal range, 2.0\u20134.0\u200ag/L), D-dimers (23.45\u200amg/L; normal range, <0.55\u200amg/L), fibrin degradation product (60.4\u200amg/L; normal range,<5\u200amg/L), and PLT (2\u200a\u00d7\u200a109/L; normal range, 100\u2013300\u200a\u00d7\u200a109/L).\nOther abnormal data were as follows: white blood cell (WBC, 48.38\u200a\u00d7\u200a109/L; normal range, 3.5\u20139.5), hemoglobin (65\u200ag/L; normal range, 130\u2013175\u200ag/L), total bilirubin (30.8 umol/L; normal range, 5.0\u201328.0\u200aumol/L), direct bilirubin (16.6 umol/L; normal range, < 8.8 umol/L), aspartate aminotransferase (75 U/L; normal range, <40 U/L), alanine aminotransferase (293 U/L; normal range, <50 U/L), lactate dehydrogenase (380 U/L; normal range, 110\u2013220\u200aU/L), serum urea nitrogen (13.01 mmol/L; normal range, 3.2\u20137.79 mmol/L), C-reactive protein (16.70\u200amg/L; normal range, <5\u200amg/L), complement 3 (0.41\u200ag/L; normal range, 0.785\u20131.520\u200ag/L), and complement 4 (0.0797\u200ag/L; normal range, 0.145\u20130.360\u200ag/L).\nRoutine urine test showed blood cell >330\u200aCell/uL, leukocyte 250 Cell/uL, protein 2\u200ag/L, and urobilinogen 70 umol/L.\nRoutine stool test showed red blood cell 4+/HP, white blood cell 1+/HP, occult blood test (+).\nT-SPOT result was positive.\nReal-time polymerase chain reaction analysis for mycobacterium TB on sputum was positive.\nAcid fast stain test of a sputum smear was negative.\nChest computed tomography (CT) on admission (November 18, 2015) (Fig.1) showed infiltrates on the upper lobe of the left lung, left pleural effusion, and pericardial effusion, accompanied by enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes.\nAbdominal ultrasound showed a small amount of fluid adjacent to the liver and spleen.\nSerologic markers were negative for acute or chronic viral hepatitis, HIV, direct Coomb test, and autoimmune hepatitis.\nPeripheral blood film and culture were negative.\nBone marrow smear and medulloculture were also negative.\nThe antituberculosis drugs were discontinued immediately after admission.\nBesides fasting, he was initiated with infusion of fresh-frozen plasma, platelet, packed red blood cells, intravenous immune globulin, recombinant human thrombopoietin, omeprazole, and polyene phosphatidylcholine as well as nutrition supportive treatment.\nFive days after fasting (November 23, 2015), the patient started a therapy consisting of EMB, moxifloxacin, and amikacin, while he had no further active hemorrhage.\nEight days after admission (November 26, 2015), the platelet counts had risen gradually.\nINH (200\u200amg/d, intravenously guttae) was administered on 24 days after admission (December 11, 2015), while his liver function tests and platelet counts returned to normal.\nThe main laboratory features are summarized in Table 1.\nOne month later (December 17, 2015), reviewed chest CT (Fig.1) indicated the infiltration, hydrothorax, and pericardial effusion were absorbed well.\nAlmost about 4 weeks after admission, the patient recovered and left hospital with INH (300\u200amg/d), EMB (750\u200amg/d), levofloxacin (500\u200amg/d), and streptomycin (750,000 U/d, intramuscular injection).\nThere was no recurrence of DIC or hemorrhage during 8 months of follow-up.\nUnfortunately, the patient refused a follow-up chest CT after his discharge.\nTable \u200b2 shows the timeline of this case.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "22-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Tibetan",

history of cough; productive of whitish sputum.\nAt presentation, he denied fever, chills, night sweats, chest pain, hemoptysis, back pain, recent travel or sick contacts.\nHe reported that he had approximately a 15\u201320 pound weight loss during the last six months.\nHe denied smoking, socially drank alcohol, and had unprotected sexual intercourse with multiple partners in the past.\nOn admission, his temperature was 97.9\u00b0F; heart rate was 85 beats per minute, respiratory rate was 16 breaths per minute, blood pressure was 107/66 mm Hg, and oxygen saturation was 100% on room air.\nExamination showed oral thrush, decreased breath sounds and crackles on the right lower lung base.\nNo cutaneous lesions were reported and the rest of clinical examination was unremarkable.\nHis complete blood count (CBC) showed hemoglobin of 9.7 g/dL, WBCs 2.3\u00d7109/L, and platelets of 164\u00d7109/L.\nHis creatinine was 0.62 mg/dL, and blood urea nitrogen was 10 mg/dL.\nRadiograph of the chest showed extensive right and left perihilar opacity more on the right side, and computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed a right sided large perihilar mass (Figure 1) with multiple thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, ribs, and sternal tiny lytic lesions consistent with bony metastasis (Figure 2).\nBlood and sputum cultures were negative.\nTuberculosis was ruled out by three consecutive negative sputum smears for acid fast bacilli and a negative QUANTIferon gold test.\nHe tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and his CD4 counts came back at 7 cells/uL.\nHe was started on prophylaxis with bactrim 80\u2013160 mg daily and azithromycin 1200 mg weekly for opportunistic infections.\nBronchoscopy with biopsy was performed but was unrevealing and he underwent a video assisted mediastinoscopy with biopsies of the right hilar mass.\nPathology showed spindle cells positive for CD34, BCL2, vimentin, and HHV-8 with diffuse positivity for CD31 diagnostic of KS.\nHe started treatment with HAART in the form of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 200/300 mg and dolutegravir 50 mg.\nThe patient was actively involved in decisions regarding management options.\nHe favored HAART isolated regimen without additional chemotherapy.\nHis condition showed continuing clinical improvement; a repeat CT scan of the chest at three months showed profound regression of the disease with disappearance of most of the lesions (Figure 3).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "34-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text":

58-year-old white American male presented to the emergency department (ED) with acute onset of confusion, disorientation, inability to walk steadily, and dehydration with associated generalized weakness, polyuria, and polydipsia over the previous week.\nHe had been diagnosed with CML six years earlier, with no hematological response to multiple chemotherapy regimens; he was at that time on treatment with allopurinol and awaiting allogenic bone marrow transplant.\nVital signs on admission to the ED included heart rate of 104 bpm, blood pressure of 122/68 mm Hg and temperature of 99.7\u00b0F (37.6\u00b0C).\nThere were no remarkable findings on physical examination except for altered mental status and dehydration.\nLaboratory evaluations were: hemoglobin 13.3 g/dL, white blood cell count 18.3\u00d7109/L (neutrophils 79.6%, lymphocytes 7.2%, and monocytes 8.3%), and platelet count 910\u00d7109/L.\nSerum levels were: calcium 18.6 mg/dL, phosphate 4.6 mg/dL, sodium 135 mEq/L, potassium 2.7 mg/dL, albumin 4.0 g/dL, creatinine 2.2 mg/dL, total bilirubin 0.9 mg/dL, alkaline phosphatase 125 IU/L, aspartate aminotransferase 41 IU/L, and alanine aminotransferase 71 IU/L.\nSPEP was negative for an M spike.\nHormones and vitamins levels were: PTH 8.5 pg/L (15\u201365 pg/L), PHTrP 1.4 pg/L (<2 pg/L), 25-OH vitamin D 30.4 ng/mL (20\u201350 ng/mL) and 1,25 OH vitamin D3 33.7 ng/mL (18\u201364) ng/mL.\nChest CT scan showed diffuse lytic lesions and bone destruction throughout the visualized thoracic skeleton, concerning for diffuse bone marrow involvement.\nThe clinical history and biochemical findings led to a diagnosis of CML-associated hypercalcemia in the context of a blast phase.\nTreatment with aggressive hydration with 0.9% saline and calcitonin 400 units subcutaneous was administered.\nAdditionally, zoledronic acid 3.3 mg intravenous, adjusted for renal insufficiency, was given.\nAfter five days of treatment, normalization of symptoms and serum calcium levels were achieved.\nAfter discharge from the hospital, the patient continued with palliative treatment with ponatinib and radiotherapy.\nAcceptable serum calcium levels were maintained with zoledronic acid 4 mg every eight weeks.\nDespite these therapies, his cancer progressed and he passed away approximately eight months after the initial admission for hypercalcemia.\n", "ner_info": [ {

complained of fatigue, anorexia, jaundice and pruritus, and a symptomatic occipital mass.\nLaboratory tests showed an abnormal liver enzyme (Table \u200b1), the patient was negative for hepatitis viruses.\nAs shown in Fig.1, abdominal MRI showed multiple low-density lesions in the liver on the T1-weighted image and obvious expansion of the intrahepatic bile duct on the T2-weighted image.\nMagnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed multifocal intrahepatic bile duct strictures and dilatation, but the common hepatic duct was normal, it was highly suggestive of SC.\nThe neurohypophyseal area MRI showed the thickened hypothalamic nuclei and a low-density signal of 4.9\u200a\u00d7\u200a5.6\u200amm in size in the hypothalamic-pituitary area.\nA multisystem, high-risk organ LCH was confirmed after occipital mass was biopsied in the local hospital, the patient was given ursodeoxycholic acid 150\u200amg 3 times a day.\nThen, he began to receive a course of COEP

appeared to severe liver function injury with an obvious increase of serum bilirubin (Table 1).\nHe refused further chemotherapy.\nOne year later, the patient developed liver decompensation with bleeding esophageal varices, ascites, and splenomegaly, and he was referred to LT (Model for End Stage Liver Disease score 17).\nHe underwent successful orthotopic LT in November 2011 in our center, and the donor came from voluntary deceased citizen organ donation in China.\nLiver histopathology after LT revealed micronodular cirrhosis with SC and positive immunostaining (CD1a and S100), suggestive of LCH involving in the liver (Fig.2).\nPostoperatively, the man continued to be immunosuppressed with tacrolimus and mycofenolate mofetil.\nThe patient is currently well with normal liver

referred to the Hebei General Hospital, Hebei, China.\nGastroscopy showed irregular hemorrhagic ulcerative lesions extending from the gastric body to the lesser curvature and pyloric stenosis of the stomach.\nGastric biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma.\nOn January 7, 2015, palliative gastrectomy plus Roux-en-Y near esophagojejunostomy were performed.\nDiffuse enlarged para-aortic and anterior superior pancreatic lymph nodes, as well as lymph nodes around the common hepatic artery, could not be resected.\nPostoperative pathology demonstrated moderately differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (Fig.1A).\nImmunohistochemistry showed the following: human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) (+), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (+), CD31 (+), CD105 (+) (Fig.1B\u2013E), triple positive (TP) (+), glutathione S-transferase \u03c0 (GST-\u03c0) (+++), topoisomerase enzyme II \u03b1 (TOPOII \u03b1), P53 (\u2013), and Ki-67 (70%).\nThe diagnosis was stage IV gastric adenocarcinoma with multiple lymphnodes metastases (T4N2M1).\nThe patient was administered 1 cycle of chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and S-1; however, the treatment was terminated, as the patient could not tolerate the associated gastrointestinal disturbances.\nOn February 2, 2015, adjuvant radiotherapy was administered.\nBefore radiotherapy, positron-emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) showed extensive distant metastasis (left supraclavicular and mediastinal lymph nodes, and lymph nodes throughout the abdominal cavity).\nThe patient's Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was 2, and his body mass index (BMI) was 19; therefore, he was considered to be at risk of malnutrition.\nOral apatinib 850\u200amg once a day combined with and following radiotherapy was prescribed.\nInformed consent was obtained from the patient prior to treatment.\nIn an attempt to improve tolerance to treatment, palliative intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was used.\nThe patient received a dose of 64 Gy in 30 fractions to the mediastinum and doses of 52 Gy in 26 fractions to the other abdominal metastatic lesions (n\u200a=\u200a5).\nThe left supraclavicular lymph node was treated with apatinib alone (Figs.2 and 3A\u2013C).\nA PET-CT scan performed 2 weeks after radiotherapy showed an 80% reduction in the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 2-deoxy-2-[[18]F]fluoro-d-glucose (FDG).\nFDG uptake was higher in the left supraclavicular lymph node compared to the metastatic regions treated with concurrent apatinib and radiation therapy.\nAccording to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), the clinical effect was partial response (Fig.2).\nThe patient received further radiotherapy (66 Gy in 28 fractions) to the left supraclavicular lymph node due to residual metastasis.\nTumor markers and biochemical analyses were evaluated every 2 months.\nTwo months after therapy, chest, and abdominal CT scans indicated stable disease; anemia and gastrointestinal symptoms had improved, ECOG performance status was 0, and BMI was 22.\nHematologic toxicity, hypertension, renal dysfunction, proteinuria, and hand\u2013foot syndrome were not observed during apatinib therapy.\nIn September 2015, a follow-up examination showed increased carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125 and ferritin; however, gastroscopy and abdominal CT revealed no abnormalities.\nIn November 2015, the patient had difficulty swallowing and experienced intermittent hematochezia.\nApatinib was terminated due to gastrointestinal bleeding.\nGastroscopy revealed anastomotic stenosis due to gastric cancer and intragastric hemorrhage (Fig.3D\u2013F).\nThe patient and his family refused chemoradiotherapy.\nSymptomatic treatment with a hemostatic drug and best supportive care were prescribed.\nAfter 1 week of therapy, hemorrhaging was resolved.\nOne month later, the patient again experienced intermittent hematochezia.\nOn December 20, 2015, PET-CT demonstrated extensive metastasis.\nThe patient and his family requested best supportive care.\nOn April 16, 2016, the patient died due to pulmonary infection.\n",

the thymus with bone metastasis at a different hospital 3 years previously.\nThe serum levels of ACTH and cortisol were elevated, but brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed that his pituitary gland was normal.\nHowever, immunohistochemical staining of the thymic tumor tissue revealed partial anti-ACTH antibody positivity.\nThe tumor was therefore determined to be ectopically producing ACTH.\nThe patient underwent chemotherapy with cisplatin and irinotecan, but the continuation of chemotherapy was problematic due to a lack of tolerance.\nTreatment for hypertension and diabetes caused by the ectopic ACTH syndrome was initiated, as was treatment with zoledronic acid for bone metastasis.\nThe patient was referred to the Endocrine Center at our hospital after 3 months due to a sensation of weakness and the worsening of his hyperglycemia.\nA physical examination revealed hypertension, a subcutaneous mass that was palpable in the anterior chest, and redness and swelling of the left lower leg without fever, respiratory symptoms, hypoxemia, or abnormal chest sounds.\nThe oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter in room air and was 97% and his respiratory rate was 13 breaths per minute.\nAmong the laboratory findings, the white blood cell and neutrophil counts, and blood sugar, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were found to be elevated, and the patient's potassium level was decreased to 2.8 mEq/L.\nThe patient's lactate dehydrogenase (468 IU/L), beta-D glucan (370.8 pg/mL), ACTH (354.1 pg/mL), and cortisol (49.1 \u03bcg/dL) levels were also elevated.\nThe patient's serum was negative for aspergillus, candida, and cryptococcus antigens; a cytomegalovirus pp65 antigenemia test also yielded a negative result.\nThese data suggested that the increased production of ACTH by the tumor, along with the progression of the disease, had promoted the elevation of the patient's serum levels of ACTH and cortisol.\nComputed tomography (CT) revealed the progression of the disease in the both thymic and metastatic bone lesions, along with the multiple ground-glass opacities in both lungs (Fig.1, \u200b2).\nThe patient underwent bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in the right B5 segment with 150 mL saline, and 62.7% of the BAL fluid was recovered.\nThe cell count in the BAL fluid was 0.61\u00d7105 per mL, and the cell differentiation in the BAL fluid was 17.0% macrophages, 81.0% lymphocytes, and 2.0% neutrophils, with a CD 4/8 ratio of 0.57.\nGram, Ziehl-Neelsen, and Grocott staining were all negative.\nA polymerase chain reaction revealed that the patient's BAL fluid was positive for Pneumocystis jirovecii.\nPCP was diagnosed based on the above results.\nThe patient was treated with sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (12 g/day) for 3 weeks.\nAnti-cortisol therapy with metyrapone was also initiated at the same time with a small dose to slowly correct the hypercortisolemia.\nIntensive insulin therapy, potassium supplementation were initiated, while cefazolin was administered to treat cellulitis of the left lower leg.\nThe patient's PCP fully improved without the exacerbation of his respiratory status.\nThereafter, we continued to administer sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim at a prophylactic dose.\nThe metyrapone dosage was gradually increased from 250 mg/day, and the blood cortisol value was observed to decline slowly (Fig.3).\nIn order to prevent hypocortisolemia, the patient was temporarily treated with hydrocortisone.\nAfter an improvement of his left lower leg cellulitis, PCP, and hyperglycemia, the patient underwent laminectomy and radiation therapy for spinal cord compression, which had been caused by a metastatic spinal tumor.\nOctreotide therapy was initiated, and he was discharged on the 68th day of hospitalization.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "44-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, { "text": "diagnosed", "label":

which had a few episodes each day, each episode lasting for 4\u20135 minutes.\nThe pain radiated to the back and was alleviated by resting to one side.\nNo association between the pain, defecation, and eating were reported.\nFurthermore, the patient complained of a 2\u20133 kg weight loss over the last one month followed by anorexia.\nHowever, no symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fever, or shaking chills were demonstrated.\nHe was first admitted to another center for a week, then was referred to our hospital for further evaluation.\nThe patient had undergone a surgery for prostatectomy seven years before his presentation to our center.\nAlso, he had a history of endoscopy five years earlier due to dyspepsia, which was found to be Helicobacter pylori positive at that time and which was eradicated after a treatment course.\nNo history of HIV, diabetes, smoking, or alcohol consumption was recorded.\nHis vital signs were normal at the time of admission.\nOn physical examination, the abdomen was soft, there was no distention, and bowel sounds were normoactive.\nHowever, tenderness in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen with no rebound state was noted.\nThe peripheral blood analysis is shown in Table 1.\nStool examination, urine analysis, and evaluation of electrolytes were all normal.\nAn abdominal CT scan showed a well-demarcated and homogenous solitary mass in the cecum with no distention in the ileum.\nThe ileum wall was thickened (Figure 1).\nA colonoscopy revealed a large mass like lesion in the cecum (Figure 2); during the procedure a biopsy was taken from the cecum.\nThe lamina propria was infiltrated by a number of PMNCs admixed by some eosinophils (Figure 3).\nImmunohistochemical evaluation was positive for vimentin and CD68.\nC-Kit (CD117) was negative while CD34, smooth muscle actin (SMA), and ALK were focally positive.\nThere were no reports of cyclin D1, desmin, or pancytokeratin (Figure 4).When the colonoscopy was performed, the evidences of invasive obstruction lead us to the suspicion of a malignant tumor.\nAfter pathological confirmation of IMT, the patient was referred for surgery in order to remove the mass.\nOn surgery, approximately 40 mL ascites were found in the abdomen.\nA mass was seen in the cecum with ileocolic intussusception.\nAfterwards, the patient underwent right hemicolectomy with an end-to-end anastomosis of ileocolic.\nNo enlarge lymph nodes were observed.\nThe patient was discharged seven days after surgery and had no complications during follow-up.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

smoking presented with an abnormal nodule measuring 0.8\u200a\u00d7\u200a1.5\u200acm in the left upper lung lobe imaged through chest computed tomography (CT) scanning in March 2012 in a community hospital.\nHe had previously been well without any additional relevant or abnormal symptoms.\nPhysical examination suggested no significant abnormalities.\nLaboratory findings were within normal range, except for a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level of 30.25\u200ang/mL (normal range, 0\u20135\u200ang/mL) found in the serum.\nSubsequently, a positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scan showed a lung lesion with a standardized uptake value of 7.94, which was highly suspected to be a malignant tumor (Fig.1).\nSubsequently, he underwent left upper lung lobectomy and lymph node dissection.\nPostoperative pathological examination revealed an adenocarcinoma (ADC) (Fig.2A).\nImmunohistochemistry (IHC) staining results were positive for CK7, TTF-1, p63, and NapsinA and negative for CK 5/6, Syn, cgA, and Ki-67 (20%\u201330%).\nThe clinical stage was classified as IA2 (pT1bN0M0).\nBecause the tumor was still in an early stage, the patient did not receive adjuvant treatment but continued to be monitored through regular hospital visits every 3 months.\nThe patient's condition had been stable until the onset of left chest pain in April 2015.\nThe patient was transferred to our hospital (a tertiary care hospital) for further treatment.\nPhysical examination suggested a significant tender point in the left chest wall.\nLaboratory findings showed only a single parameter outside the normal range: the cytokeratin19 fragment antigen 21\u20131 (CYFRA21\u20131) level was 17.45\u200ang/mL in the serum (normal range\u200a=\u200a0\u20133.3\u200ang/mL).\nCT and PET/CT scans highlighted the serious involvement of left pleura, showing bilateral lung lesions (Fig.3A and E).\nAt that point, the clinical stage was upgraded to IVB.\nAfter the CT-guided left pleura puncture, pathological IHC analysis showed positive staining for p63, p40, CK 7, and CK 5/6, while TTF-1 and NapsinA staining were absent, supporting a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (Fig.2B).\nMeanwhile, molecular evaluation confirmed an L858R mutation in exon 21 and a T790M mutation in exon 20 (Fig.4B and C).\nConsidering the pathology of the SCC was quite distinct compared with that of the originally resected NSCLC specimen, we retrospectively reassessed the surgery specimen to verify our primary diagnosis.\nThe morphologic and IHC results were in complete agreement with the initial diagnoses, but an L858R mutation was identified using the newly added molecular evaluation (Fig.4A).\nTo relieve the acute pain in the left pleura as quickly as possible, palliative three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for the chest lesion was delivered at a total dose of 42\u200aGy/14 fractions (f), once daily and 5f/week (Fig.5).\nThe volume over radiation dose 5\u200aGy (V5) values of the left, right, and total lungs were 20%, 0%, and 7.8%, respectively; the volume over radiation dose 20\u200aGy (V20) values were 10%, 0%, and 5%, respectively; the mean lung dose (MLD) was 5\u200aGy.\nMeanwhile, considering the MST pathology was that of SCC, the patient received GP chemotherapy (cisplatin 75\u200amg/m2 d1, gemcitabine 1250\u200amg/m2 d1, d8, for 21 days as a cycle) for 4 cycles, and the patient achieved partial remission (PR) after 2 cycles, followed by stable disease (SD) after 4 cycles (Fig.3[B3[B and F] and [C and G]) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1.\nThen, gefitinib (150\u200amg qd) was used as maintenance treatment from November 2015 onward.\nDuring the treatment, Ibandronate sodium was given monthly for skeletal-related events.\nThe patient is currently under surveillance with SD (Fig.3D and H) and with PS scores of 0.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "52-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

months\u2019 history of massive rectal bleeding (rectorrhagia).\nHe had past history of passage of fresh blood mixed stool since last 55 years.\nHe first complained of rectal bleeding at the age of 2.\nHe went hospital numerous times for this symptom; multiple interventions were done but disease was not cured completely.\nDuring one of his hospital visit in the past (patient forgot the date), he was diagnosed and treated as hemorrhoids.\nThe symptom was relieved for a while and then recurred again.\nThirty years ago, he was diagnosed as rectal hemangioma and managed with cryotherapy in our hospital.\nThat could also just relieve the symptom for few years and it recurred again.\nThen, he consulted many other hospitals, but could only get short-term symptomatic relief without proper treatment of the cause.\nSince 5 months, the severity of rectal bleeding increased.\nHe then went to local hospital where intervention was done to control bleeding and symptomatic treatment was done with intravenous fluid and blood transfusion.\nHe finally referred to our hospital for further evaluation.\nIntermediate rectal bleeding of fresh blood was presented on admission.\nPatient complained of dizziness on standing, shortness of breath, and palpitation on walking a short distance.\nThere was no history of similar illness in family.\nOn general examination, patient appeared pale, but his heart rate and blood pressure were within normal limit during rest.\nHe lost 5\u200akg of his body weight during last 5 months.\nOn rectal examination, fresh blood was seen around anal region and soft mass was felt on digital rectal examination.\nOn proctoscopy, anal cavity and rectum were seen filled with fresh blood, but active site of bleeding, polyp, or ulcer was not detected.\nOn laboratory examination, red blood cell count was 3.09\u200a\u00d7\u200a1012/L (Normal: 4.32\u20135.72\u200a\u00d7\u200a1012/L) and hemoglobin was 86\u200ag/L (Normal: 135\u2013175\u200ag/L).\nAll other parameters were within normal limit.\nNone enhanced CT showed isodense (35\u200aHU) homogenous bowel wall thickening that on contrast-enhanced CT venous phase enhances heterogeneously.\nMultiple calcifications were seen in the thickened bowel wall and around the peri-rectal area.\nLesion was seen extending from distal sigmoid to whole of the rectum (Fig.1).\nMultiple hypodense lesions were also seen in spleen (Fig.2).\nAfter initial management of anemia, the patient underwent abdominal laparotomy followed by surgical excision.\nDuring surgery, 25\u200acm long lesion was found extending from distal sigmoid to whole of the rectum.\nWhole of the rectum and part of the sigmoid colon were excised and sigmoid-anus anastomosis was done.\nPostsurgical histopathological examination of excised specimen showed submucosal multiple thin-walled vessel of varying size with interposed stroma.\nSome vessels lumen consisted of blood cells (consistent with blood vessel), whereas other consisted of clear fluid (consistent with lymph vessel).\nImmunohistochemistry of specimen showed endothelial cells positive for CD 31 and CD 34.\nSome cells were positive for D2\u201340, while others were negative for D2\u201340 (Fig.3).\nOn the basis of histopathological report and immunohistochemistry, hemolymphangioma was diagnosed.\nThe surgery, which followed by complication (intestinal infection), was well managed and the patient was discharged from hospital on the 23rd day of surgery.\nThen after, no further complication or recurrence was noticed during 6 months\u2019 follow-up.\nThis study was approved by the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University Institutional Review Board.\nWritten consent for this case report was obtained from the patient.\n",

including splenomegaly, repermeation of the umbilical vein and a splenorenal collateral circulation.\nA complementary angio-CT allowed a better assessment of the portal system that contained some thin calcifications in the aneurysmal wall and the main portal trunk (Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4).\nOther signs of portal hypertension were noted such as oesophageal and gastric varices, parietal

endoscopy, several submucosal lesions were identified in the gastric antrum and the duodenal bulb (Fig.1).\nEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) (OLYMPUS EUS EU-ME2, Miniprobe sonography) demonstrated that the lesions were almost 0.5-cm homogeneously hypoechoic neoplasms originating from the submucous layer (Fig.2) and the initial diagnosis was digestive neuroendocrine tumors.\nComputed tomography revealed enlarged lymph nodes in multiple regions (mediastinal, retroperitoneal, mesenteric, and inguinal) and intracavitary nodules in the duodenum.\nTo reach a definitive diagnosis, the patient underwent repeat EUS and biopsy was performed.\nOn endoscopy, a 2 \u00d7 1-cm columnar uplift in the terminal ileum and multiple submucosal lesions in the rectum were identified (Fig.3).\nEUS revealed that the lesions in the terminal ileum were sized 1.6 \u00d7 1.2\u200acm and the lesions in the rectum were sized almost 0.6 \u00d7 1.0\u200acm, they were all homogeneously hypoechoic and originated from the muscularis mucosa layer.\nPathological examination of the biopsied specimens from the lesions of the rectum showed diffuse lymphomatous proliferation and dense infiltration by monomorphic, small cleaved cells with irregularly shaped nuclei (Fig.4).\nOn immunohistochemical analysis, the cells were positive for cyclin D1, CD20, CD21, SOX-11, and Bcl-2, but negative for CD3 and CD10, which was compatible with the diagnosis of MCL.\nKi-67 staining revealed a proliferative index of 30%.\nBased on these findings, the diagnosis of Ann Arbor stage IV MCL was confirmed.\nThe patient was

aspect was observed (Fig.2).\nThe bilateral bronchopneumonia was confirmed, without any central tumor mass.\nA 10-mm white nodule was identified encasing a small bronchus from the middle lobe of the right lung, without peripheral nodules (Fig.3).\nExcept for moderate edema, no other brain lesions were identified.\nThe other organs did not show modifications.\nThe tissues were fixed in 10% neutral formalin and embedded in paraffin together with iliac crest bone grafting.\nMicroscopic examination of the prostate showed a 3+3 Gleason's grade 2 occult adenocarcinoma (Fig.2).\nClusters and sheets of small round cells were seen in the liver parenchyma (Fig.1) and the lymph nodes from the hepatic hilum.\nExamination of the lung parenchyma showed a peribronchial SCLC with multiple tumor emboli in both veins and lymphatic vessels and multiple \u201ccoin-shaped\u201d tumor nodules of 1 to 2\u200amm in diameter below the pleura (Fig.3).\nThe small round tumor cells were also seen in bone marrow from the iliac crest bone (Fig.3).\nNo brain metastases have been detected.\nBased on the macro- and microscopic features and clinical picture, the final diagnosis was \u201cperibronchial and coin-like peripheral SCLC with massive angiolymphatic invasion and metastases in the lymph nodes, liver and bone, associated with encephalopathy and synchronous occult adenocarcinoma of the prostate.\u201d\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "78-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "previously healthy", "label": "HISTORY", "start": 14, "end": 32 }, { "text": "male",

dizziness, palpitation and dyspnea.\nHe gave history of 30 kg weight loss over the past 6 months.\nOn physical examination, he looked pale, not jaundiced or cyanosed.\nHis vital signs were all within normal limits, except for an elevated heart rate (98/min).\nCardiovascular, respiratory and abdominal examinations were unremarkable.\nPrimary investigations in our hospital revealed low hemoglobin level (5.1 g/dl), low iron (<10 ug/dl), and a positive occult blood test.\nA provisional diagnosis of microcytic hypochromic anemia for further workup was made.\nBone marrow aspirate and trephine biopsy revealed normocellular marrow, depicting normal trilineage hematopoiesis.\nUpper GI endoscopy showed erosive antral gastritis with patchy ulcerative inflammation.\nAbdominal ultrasound showed a slightly enlarged liver with a rounded echogenic lesion in the anterior wall of the right lobe suggestive of hemangioma.\nThe spleen was slightly enlarged and normal in echogenicity with no focal lesions.\nComputed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed a fairly large well defined soft tissue mass located in the anterior upper pelvis and engulfing jejunal loops causing bowel wall thickening.\nThe patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy and excision of the jejunal mass.\nMacroscopic examination revealed an 11 \u00d7 8 \u00d7 2 cm annular mass located within the jejunal wall ulcerating through the mucosa and extending to the serosal surface.\nMicroscopic examination revealed a tumor situated in the muscularis propria and extending to the mucosa and the serosa.\nThe neoplastic cells were arranged in predominantly pseudoalveolar pattern (Fig.1a,b).\nThey were polygonal in shape with variable amount of eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm (Fig.1c).\nThe nuclei were oval with vesicular chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli.\nScattered osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells were also identified (Fig.1b,c).\nFrequent mitotic figures and necrosis were noted.\nAll lymph nodes were not involved by tumor.\nImmunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were strongly and diffusely positive for S-100 protein (Fig.1d).\nThey were also positive for vimentin.\nMelanocytic markers (HMB45 and Melan A), neuroendocrine markers (chromogranin A, synaptophysin and CD56), smooth muscle actin, desmin, CD34, CD117, cytokeratin and LCA were all negative in the neoplastic cells.\nFluorescein in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for EWSR1 break apart probe on paraffin-embedded tumor showed evidence of a 22q12 rearrangement in 197 out of 205 (96%) of interphase nuclei scored.\nThe native state of EWSR1 break apart probe will be seen as two adjacent or fused (overlapping) red/green (yellow) signals.\nHowever, EWSR1 gene rearrangement presented as one red and one green separated signal (Fig.1e).\nThe patient did not receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy.\nDuring the clinical follow up, the patient remained disease free for 3 years until he presented with local recurrence.\nThe treatment plan was surgical resection but the patient sought medical advice in a different institution where he died of the disease a year later.\n", "ner_info":

"full_text": "An 84-year-old woman presented to a local clinic with dyspnea on exertion and left back pain persisting for a month.\nShe was admitted to our hospital because of left pleural effusion on a chest X-ray.\nShe suffered hypertension and dyslipidemia but had no history of pleural tuberculosis or chronic pyothorax, nor a smoking history or dust exposure.\nOn examination, her vital signs and oxygen saturation were normal (SpO2: 96% ambient air).\nA chest examination revealed a mass on the left side of her back with pain and decreased breathing sounds in the left lower-lung field.\nThe rest of the examination findings were normal.\nLaboratory tests revealed elevated levels of C reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) (Table 1).\nA chest X-ray (Fig.1) showed left pleural effusion with mediastinal shift.\nOn the first hospital day, an intercostal drainage tube was inserted, and after drainage, chest computed tomography (CT) (Fig.2) revealed an irregular pleural mass invading her left chest wall with rib destruction and pleural effusion.\nThe mass was adjacent to the posterior mediastinum, but the lateral side of the mass was thick and invading the chest wall, so we diagnosed this mass as a chest wall tumor.\nThe pleural fluid was serous and not purulent.\nA fluid analysis showed it to be exudative, and 81% of the white blood cells were lymphocytes.\nThe fluid culture was negative, and cytology did not show any evidence of malignancy (Table 1).\nCT-guided needle biopsy was performed.\nThe histopathology results supported a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that was positive for CD10 and CD20 but negative for CD3 and CD5 (Fig.3).\n18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) revealed high FDG uptake in the left chest wall mass without any other uptake (Fig.4A and B), so we diagnosed her with primary malignant lymphoma originating from the chest wall.\nWe reconfirmed her medical history, and she never had either tuberculous pleurisy or pyothorax.\nHer performance status (PS) was 3 because of her back pain and fatigue.\nOwing to her bad PS and age, it was difficult to perform an operation or administer combination chemotherapy with Rituximab, so low-dose oral etoposide (50 mg/day d1-14, q28) was administered.\nHer pleural effusion disappeared within two weeks, her back pain disappeared, and her PS improved to 1 within a month.\nChest CT performed four months later showed complete response (Fig.4C and D).\nShe continued oral chemotherapy and maintained a good PS for one year after the diagnosis.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "84-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 3, "end": 14 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start":

bronchodilator medications.\nShe had no history of tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, or smoking.\nThe physical examination revealed diffuse bilateral crackles.\nShe suffered from severe hypoxemia (pH 7.362, PCO2 35.1 mmHg, PO2 61.0 mmHg, HCO3- 20.1 mmHg, BE -5.5 mmHg, SpO2 90.5%, under 10 L O2/min, reservoir mask).\nAfter the tracheal intubation, 100 mL of bright-red blood was aspirated.\nA chest radiograph showed bilateral infiltrates (Fig.1).\nA chest CT further demonstrated multiple consolidations and ground glass opacity and focal bronchiectasis in right segment 4 (S4) (Fig.2).\nThere were no space-occupying lesions.\nFour days after admission, her respiratory condition was improved.\nSince there was no active hemorrhaging from the tracheal tube, she was then extubated.\nAfter that, only a small amount of bloody sputum was coughed up.\nTo determine the origin of bleeding, she underwent contrast-enhanced CT, which showed bronchiectasis in right S4 and regression of the infiltration.\nCTA revealed an abnormal vascular anastomosis between the right inferior phrenic artery and right pulmonary artery beside the focal bronchiectasis at the right middle lobe (Fig.3), which led us to suspect it as the possible source of the massive hemoptysis.\nWe therefore performed embolization by superselecting the right inferior phrenic artery with a 2.2-Fr. microcatheter (Fig.4).\nAn angiogram of the right bronchial artery showed no obvious active bleeding.\nThree weeks after the embolization, she was successfully discharged and has been free from recurrent hemoptysis for three years.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "82-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 3, "end": 14 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 15, "end": 20 }, { "text":

45-year history of cigarette smoking visited our hospital for the diagnosis of an abnormal chest shadow on X-ray.\nHe did not have any remarkable medical history and had not been prescribed anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents.\nA computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a huge mass in the left upper lobe (maximum size: 11.0 cm in diameter) that subsequently expanded to the left hilum and mediastinum, as well as an intrapulmonary metastasis located in the left lower lobe, pleural effusion on the left side, and multiple liver tumors ranging from 0.5 to 4.7 cm in diameter (Fig.1).\nOf note, some of the liver metastases were located subcapsularly, and the liver surface was irregularly distorted.\nThe laboratory findings were as follows: white blood cell count 11,900/mm3, hemoglobin 14.8 g/dL, platelet count 214,000/mm3, aspartate transaminase 31 IU/L, alanine transaminase 19 IU/L, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 749 IU/L.\nNo coagulation abnormalities were found.\nA subsequent histological examination of a tumor specimen obtained by bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of small cell carcinoma.\nOn considering the clinical diagnosis, performance status, and age of the patient, we decided on a regimen of antitumor chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin (60 mg/m2 body surface area on Day 1) and etoposide (100 mg/m2 body surface area on Days 1-3).\nOn a day after 2 weeks from the initial CT scan, he started his first chemotherapy session.\nOn Day 3 after initiating chemotherapy, he complained of abdominal discomfort, and his vital signs showed tachycardia (120 beats per minute) and hypotension (85/55 mmHg).\nA hematological examination showed severe anemia (hemoglobin 6.7 g/dL) that had dramatically dropped from 14.8 g/dL over 10 days.\nWe attempted to identify the bleeding site on gastrointestinal endoscopy, to no avail, but a CT scan revealed the rapid enlargement of a liver tumor in the left lobe, which contained partial high-density areas on the plain scan, and also a novel finding of ascites showing higher density than usual, all suggesting a ruptured liver metastasis and associated hemorrhagic ascites (Fig.2).\nA subsequent contrast-enhanced CT image was negative for extravasation.\nHe underwent angiography for the left and right hepatic arteries, but we only observed obscure tumor vessels in the left hepatic lobe without extravasation (Fig.3A).\nWe suspected this might be due to the hypovascularity of the metastatic tumors and inactive bleeding at the time.\nAlthough the benefit of therapeutic embolization of the hepatic artery was uncertain based on the findings on angiography, we performed transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) of the left main hepatic artery using gelform particles to prevent future re-bleeding.\nPost-embolization angiography revealed a slowed blood flow in the left hepatic artery, and the peripheral vessels were weakly visualized (Fig.3B).\nAfter the embolization concomitant with supportive therapies, including RBC transfusions of 6 U in total, the clinical course of the patient stabilized.\nHis blood pressure remained around 120/70 mmHg, tachycardia disappeared, and the anemia was improved after transfusion and did not progress again.\nLiver dysfunction did not appear.\nA month after the embolization, he was in relatively good health and re-started his antitumor chemotherapy, which he continued (first-line regimen) for six courses.\nA good partial response was gained after chemotherapy for both the lung and liver lesions.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text":

presented with temperature, myalgia, cough, and hemoptysis.\nThoracic physical examination revealed reduced vesicular murmur, and chest X-ray showed bilateral diffuse alveolar infiltrates.\nLaboratory analyses showed elevation of acute-phase proteins (CRP 26\u200amg/dL) and creatinine (1.2\u200amg/dL) with nonnephrotic proteinuria and microscopic glomerular hematuria.\nAn antibiotic therapy for community acquired and atypical pneumoniae with levofloxacin 500\u200amg daily iv was established, but on the 3rd day from admission the patient developed respiratory failure unresponsive to noninvasive ventilation and had to be intubated.\nWhite lung with consolidations and ground glass areas at computed tomography scan (Fig.1), diffuse airways bleeding at fiberoptic bronchoscopy, mild normocytic anemia (9\u200ag/dL), and ANCA-PR3 positivity (18.9\u200aU/mL) were consistent with the diagnosis of GPA.\nDespite maximal ventilatory support, gas exchange did not improve (pH 7.33, PaO2 71\u200amm\u200aHg, PaCO2 51\u200amm\u200aHg, HCO3\u2013 25\u200ammol/L, SaO2 94%) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).\nTreatment with high-dose methylprednisolone (1\u200ag daily for 3 days and 1\u200amg/kg daily thereafter), cyclophosphamide (1.2\u200ag/pulse every 2 weeks for the 1st 3 pulses, followed by infusions every 3 weeks for the next 2 pulses), and plasma exchange (PE), according to European vasculitis study group recommendations,[4] was immediately started with respiratory improvement that allowed ECMO and orotracheal tube withdrawal and subsequent discharge from intensive care unit.\nAfter 9 days from the beginning of treatment ANCA-PR3 levels normalized (3\u200aU/mL).\nTwo months later, after the 5th bolus of cyclophosphamide and with prednisone 0.3\u200amg/kg/day, the patient complained arthromyalgia and testicular pain with edema, cough, and shortness of breath: laboratory data showed worsening of renal function, mild anemia, and hypoxemia (PaO2 61\u200amm\u200aHg).\nEpididymitis was confirmed by ultrasound.\nBecause of rapidly progressive renal failure (estimated glomerular filtration rate 35\u200amL/min) renal biopsy was performed and showed prominent intracapillary and extracapillary proliferation, with the formation of some fibrocellular crescents and focal capillary necrosis (Fig.2).\nLung computed tomography-scan and fiberoptic bronchoscopy also confirmed alveolar hemorrhage relapse.\nTreatment with high-dose methylprednisolone (1\u200ag daily for 3 consecutive days) and rituximab (375\u200amg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks) was started with rapid resolution of urologic and pulmonary involvement but delayed and partial improvement of renal function.\nAt a 1-year follow-up, the patient is alive and under treatment with azathioprine (150\u200amg daily) and prednisone (15\u200amg daily).\nRenal function has markedly improved (estimated glomerular filtration rate 94\u200amL/min) same as gas-exchange (pH 7.42, PaO2 86\u200amm\u200aHg, PaCO2 36\u200amm\u200aHg, HCO3\u2013 23\u200ammol/L, SaO2 95%).\nThe patient signed institutional informed consent form at the time of admission to hospitalization.\nAn approval by

had no known history of pulmonary tuberculosis or tuberculosis contact.\nOn December 2015, she underwent retransplantation for chronic lung allograft dysfunction.\nDuring the month preceding retransplantation, 4 sputum specimens remained negative for acid-fast bacilli and specific M. tuberculosis culture and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing.\nOn postoperative day 42, deterioration of her respiratory status prompted a chest-computerized tomography (CT) scan revealing sub-centimeter bilateral nodules primarily located in the apical posterior lobes and a bilateral pleural effusion (Fig.1).\nThe same day, a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) yielded a positive real-time PCR for rifampicin-susceptible M. tuberculosis, confirmed by culture on postoperative day 62.\nTuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-\u03b3 release assay (IGRA) test were not performed.\nAll the BALs performed on postoperative period yielded no other pathogen except for the one performed on day 60 that cultured Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the adjunctive antibiotic therapy was imipenem-cilastatin, 3\u200ag/d.\nHistological examination of a lung biopsy performed 6 weeks after retransplantation revealed a caseating granuloma and necrosis.\nAcid-fast bacilli were identified as rifampicin-susceptible M. tuberculosis by real-time PCR.\nOn postoperative day 65, the patient's status worsened with severe hypoxemia, shock unresponsive to high dose cathecolamines, and multiorgan failure.\nThe patient died on postoperative day 70, despite treatment combining isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide.\nRetrospective real-time PCR testing of the explanted lung and BALs performed on postoperative days 1, 7, and 21 remained negative.\nThe organ donor died of posttraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.\nHe was a 47-year-old man with no history of lung disease or risk factors for tuberculosis other than chronic alcohol use and smoking.\nTST results were not available.\nDuring hospitalization, a lung CT-scan showed no signs of active or previous tuberculosis and no TST or IGRA test results were available.\nRoutine cultures of per-transplantation right lung biopsy yielded Candida albicans.\nRetrospective M. tuberculosis real-time PCR yielded negative results on the left and right donor-lung biopsies.\nBoth kidneys from the same donor were transplanted into 2 other recipients.\nSix months after transplantation, neither of the kidney recipients had developed any signs or symptoms suggestive of active tuberculosis.\n", "ner_info": [ {

out, individually with a length of about 10\u200acm.\nShe had a previous onset of ascariasis, during which low-grade fever (38.4\u00b0C) occurred without apparent jaundice, diarrhea, or anemia.\nPhysical examination revealed tenderness at right upper quadrant.\nHer total leukocyte count was 11.2\u200aG/L consisting of 5.2% eosinophils.\nSerum and urine amylase were 386 and 928\u200aU/L, respectively.\nIn terms of liver functionality, the level of total bilirubin rose up to 23.2\u200a\u03bcm/L, meanwhile the hepatic enzymes were similarly elevated (alanine aminotransferase 163\u200aU/L; aspartate aminotransferase 96\u200aU/L).\nAbdominal ultrasound described the enlargement of the gallbladder, upper segment of common bile duct (1.5\u200acm in diameter) and intrahepatic bile duct (1.3\u200acm in diameter).\nFurthermore, the intrahepatic bile duct was also discovered to be filled with echogenic and banded substances.\nBased on such evidences, she was clinically diagnosed as biliary ascariasis with a concomitant manifestation of biliary duct infection.\nThrough a laparoscopic exploration, the enlarged gallbladder and common bile duct were visually confirmed, as well as the massive storage of worms within the biliary tract.\nSubsequently, a 1\u200acm incision was made on the common bile duct in order to facilitate the extraction of the pathogenic worms, which were then placed into a specimen bag laparoscopically (Fig.1).\nOnce the contained worms were virtually cleared out under laparoscope, chodedochoscopy was employed to seek for more hidden worms inside the biliary system (Fig.2).\nAfter finishing the removal of ascarides, the biliary duct incision was well sutured, with a T-tube placed in situ (Fig.3).\nEventually, a standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, followed by the removal of specimen bags and drainage tube placement (Fig.4).\nThe total amount of worms inside the common bile duct summed up to more than 100 (Fig.5).\nPostoperatively, she was treated with oral antihelminthic drugs for 3 days.\nThe T-tube was rinsed with saline every day, and during the first 3 days, 6 more worms were additionally washed out.\nThe patient experienced a smooth postoperative recovery and was finally discharged from hospital without any complications.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "16-year-old",

with a history of alcoholism for 10 years and sober for the last 3 years, recurrent alcoholic pancreatitis, and no known liver disease, presented with several episodes of hematemesis and abdominal pain for 2 days.\nEsophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), performed 3 years earlier for abdominal pain, had revealed no esophageal varices, gastric varices, portal hypertensive gastropathy, or other GI lesions.\nPhysical examination revealed a blood pressure\u200a=\u200a100/60\u200amm\u200aHg, pulse\u200a=\u200a60\u200abeats/min, no jaundice, no stigmata of chronic liver disease, a soft abdomen with mild epigastric tenderness but no rebound tenderness, no abdominal bruit, and no pulsatile abdominal mass.\nRectal examination revealed gross melena.\nLaboratory tests revealed hemoglobin\u200a=\u200a12.5\u200ag/dL, platelets\u200a=\u200a301,000/mL, INR (international normalized ratio)\u200a=\u200a1.0, blood urea nitrogen\u200a=\u200a20\u200amg/dL, and creatinine\u200a=\u200a1.1\u200amg/dL.\nSerum aspartate aminotransferase\u200a=\u200a21\u200aIU/L, alanine aminotransferase\u200a=\u200a16\u200aIU/L, total bilirubin\u200a=\u200a0.6\u200amg/dL, alkaline phosphatase\u200a=\u200a64\u200aIU/L, albumin\u200a=\u200a4.4\u200agm/dL, and lipase\u200a=\u200a32\u200aU/dL.\nThe hemoglobin declined acutely to 9.3\u200ag/dL.\nAbdomino-pelvic computerized tomography (CT), with intravenous contrast, revealed a 5-cm wide, irregular, pancreatic/peripancreatic mass, compressing both the lesser curvature of the stomach and the SV (Fig.1A, B), a normal portal vein, and normal liver parenchyma.\nThe SV compression was pathophysiologically significant as indicated by proximal SV dilatation.\nEGD revealed in the proximal stomach a fine, reticular, pale-white, polygonal, mucosal, network in a snakeskin pattern, and characteristic of portal hypertensive gastropathy that was actively oozing; extensive coffee-ground, blood clots in the stomach; small gastric cardial and fundal varices without stigmata of recent hemorrhage (SRH); and no esophageal varices (Fig.\u200b2).\nThe extrinsic mass produced a large, round bulge extending into the lumen of the proximal gastric body along the lesser curvature (Fig.2).\nMagnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) revealed a 5-cm wide, enhancing, vascular mass likely arising from the LGA and located between the gastric lesser curvature and distal pancreatic body; compressing the stomach; compressing the middle SV; and resulting in large collateral veins draining the SV into the superior mesenteric vein (Fig.3A, B).\nAbdominal ultrasound with Doppler studies demonstrated large, turbulent arterial flow into this vascular mass, suggesting a large PA (Fig.4).\nVisceral arteriogram showed a 5.3\u200a\u00d7\u200a2.2-cm-wide PA supplied by an LGA branch (Fig.5A), which was embolized and occluded with microcoils (Fig.5B).\nEight weeks later, the patient had a stable hemoglobin level with no further GI bleeding.\nAbdomino-pelvic CT angiography demonstrated the PA had markedly decreased in diameter, contained numerous microcoils, and had no blood flow

evaluation of dysphagia for 9 months.\nHe had associated symptoms of nausea and vomiting but denied hematemesis, hematochezia, lethargy, and dyspnea.\nHe was an active smoker and consumed alcohol for 30 years.\nPhysical examination revealed no peripheral lymphadenopathy, thyromegaly, ascites, or mass in the abdomen.\nLaboratory data were normal: HBs-Ag negative, HIV negative, and syphilis negative.\nTest for serum antibody against Helicobacter pylori was negative.\nChest computed tomography (CT) was notable for a huge well-circumscribed and homogeneous cylindrical mesenchymal neoplasm measuring 15.5\u00d75.9\u00d74.0\u200acm in lower and middle esophagus with mild contrast enhancement (Fig.1A).\nCT revealed no abnormalities in the lungs, heart, ribs, or mediastinum.\nEndoscopic examination showed a submucosal lesion in the esophagus starting at 20\u200acm from the incisor teeth extending up to the cardia (Fig.1B).\nEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed hypoechoic lesion with a clear boundary located in the 4th layer.\nThe mass appeared as a benign tumor and was preoperatively diagnosed as esophageal leiomyoma based on chest CT, endoscopic examination, and EUS findings.\nEndoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal resection was not possible because of large size.\nHence, surgical resection was planned and informed written consent was taken.\nThe patient underwent thoracoscopic-assisted resection of the mass with gastroesophageal anastomosis, thoracic duct ligation, and jejunostomy.\nPostoperative course was uneventful.\nGrossly, a spindle shaped lump measuring 14\u200a\u00d7\u200a3.5\u200a\u00d7\u200a2.5\u200acm, was observed in the resected esophagus, which grew into the esophageal lumen and blocked most of lumen.\nThis lump located in the submucosa was covered with intact mucosa, without erosion, ulcer, and hemorrhage.\nIts cut surface was homogenously white to grayish-white in color.\nHistological examination using hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that tumor was covered with intact squamous epithelium, arising from the submucosal layer and expanding in to the muscular layer.\nThe tumor was composed of many nodules of varying sizes separated by collagen fibers.\nNumerous cytoplasm-rich cells were observed in the collagenous septations with invasive growth pattern (Fig.2A\u2013C).\nThe nodules were mainly composed of small to mid-sized centrocyte-like or monocyte-like cells arranged in diffuse pattern.\nThese atypical lymphocytes possessed clear boundary, pale cytoplasm, irregular nucleus, and occasional nucleolus (Fig.2D).\nMitosis was rare.\nNo lymphoepithelial lesion was recognized in the lesion.\nOn immunohistochemical staining, epithelium was diffusely positive for cytokeratin (Fig.3A), and the tumor cells were diffusely positive for cluster of differentiation (CD)20, paired box 5 (Fig.3B), and B-cell lymphoma (Bcl)-2 (Fig.3D).\nSmall deposits of tumor cells, which were distributed mainly in the collagen fibers, were positive for multiple myeloma oncogene 1, CD138, and CD43.\nSeveral tumor cells were also positive for CD30.\nSmall lymphocytes were positive for CD3 and CD5.\nFollicular dendritic cells were positive for CD21 and CD23 (Fig.3C).\nAll cells were negative for CyclinD1, CD10, Bcl-6, and B lymphocyte specific activation of OCT binding protein 1.\nThese follicular dendritic cells were arranged in nodules in which the tumor cells were relatively evenly distributed.\nThis pattern was suggestive of follicular colonizations seen in MALT lymphoma.\nIn this case, gene rearragements and clonality analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene, kappa light chain gene, and lambda light chain gene was performed using the IdentiCloneTM IGH/IGK/IGL Gene Clonality Assay (InVivoScribe Technologies, CA).\nOn monoclonal gene rearrangement, 1 band appeared within 150 to 175 base pairs (bp) in heavy chain gene, 2 discrete bands within 225 to 250\u200abp in kappa light chain gene, and 1 band within 125 to 150\u200abp in lambda light chain gene (Fig.4).\nIn addition, no Epstein\u2013Barr virus was observed in this lymphoma on in situ hybridization using the EB virus-encoded small RNA (Fig.3E, F).\nBased on the clinical data, pathological, immunohistochemical, and gene rearragements analysis, final diagnosis of primary esophageal MALT lymphoma was made.\nAfter the surgical resection, no additional therapy in the form of chemotherapy or radiotherapy was administered.\nOver the 8 months of follow-up, no evidence of recurrence or metastases was found on CT and the patient has been asymptomatic.\nEthical approval for this study was obtained from Medical Ethics Committee of the Third Affiliated Hospital, the Third Military Medical University.\nWritten informed consent was obtained from the patient for the publication of this case report and the accompanying images.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "75-year-old", "label": "AGE",

presented progressively worsening pain in the chest wall, back, and bilateral lower extremities as well as muscle weakness.\nShe did not have a family history of bone disease or fractures.\nPhysical examination was unremarkable excluding bone and muscular abnormalities.\nBone scintigraphy using technetium-99m methylenediphosphate showed increased uptake in the shoulder, multiple ribs, thoracic and lumbar spines, bilateral sacroiliac joints, left ilium, and left foot (Fig.1).\nPlain radiographs revealed osteoporosis change of thoracic and lumbar spine as well as compression change of several spines, consistent with findings of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography (CT) (Fig.1).\nDecreased bone mass was presented in the lumbar spine (T-score: \u22123.4), femoral neck (T-score: \u22123.1), and hip (T-score: \u22123.5).\nMain laboratory data are shown in Table \u200b1.\nShe demonstrated hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, hypouricemia, elevated level of ALP, C-telopeptides and chloride, and decreased carbon dioxide combining power.\nThe urinalysis revealed a high pH value, increased level of potassium, and decreased level of specific gravity, chlorine, and phosphate.\nPersistent glycosuria and proteinuria were repeatedly found, despite normal HbA1c and plasma glucose level.\nOther laboratory test results including thyroid function test, serum parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and protein electrophoresis were within normal range.\nIn addition, all of serum tumor markers were negative.\nDue to limited technique, we cannot determine the level of serum fibroblast growth factor 23.\nWith the clinical diagnosis of HO, fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and technetium-99m octreotide (99mTc-OCT) scintigraphy were performed to confirm whether the occult causative tumor exist.\nHowever, the results of these 2 tests were negative except that mild uptake in the seventh rib was found on PET/CT, which identified no evidence of a neoplastic lesion potentially responsible for HO (Fig.2).\nThe immunological examination showed elevated level of serum IgG, IgM, and IgA, as well as positive antinuclear antibody, anti-SSA antibody, and rheumatic factor.\nSubsequently, Schirmer test was abnormal and lip biopsy supported the diagnosis of SS (Fig.3).\nEventually, this patient was diagnosed with HO secondary to SS, and she was then treated with alkalinization (citrate 4\u200ag/day and potassium citrate 3\u200ag/day for 2 weeks), steroids (prednisone 20\u200amg/day for 1 month, 10\u200amg/day for 4 months), neutral phosphate (1.0\u200ag/day for 5 months), calcium supplements (600\u200amg/day for 5 months), and together with activated vitamin D (0.5\u200ag/day for 5 months).\nSo far, she recovered uneventfully with relieved pain and increased serum phosphorus level.\nThis case report was approved by the ethics committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan

became aware of the onset of exertional dyspnea in July 2010.\nHe had a history of smoking for more than 40 years, 20 cigarettes per day.\nHis parents and 1 brother had lung cancer.\nHis past medical history was unremarkable.\nHe had no occupational exposure.\nDue to the exertional dyspnea, he was admitted to the People's Hospital of Shunde District for echocardiography and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA).\nEchocardiography indicated that he had severe PAH, because his pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) was 104\u200ammHg, and his right heart was enlarged (the right ventricle diameter: 57\u200amm).\nCTPA showed that he had not only PAH, but also a thrombus in the upper lobe artery of the right lung.\nHowever, the region in the lung affected by this PE was considered too small to induce such a severe PAH.\nIn addition, he did not have connective tissue disease, drug use, history of chemotherapy, or HIV test (+), so he was diagnosed as IPAH combined with PE.\nHe was treated with warfarin (2.5\u200amg per day with a target of the international normalized ratio [INR] between 1.5 and 2.5) and slidenafil targeted PAH therapy (20\u200amg twice per day).\nThe patient's dyspnea was relieved slightly after the use of these medications for 1 month and the retested PAP by echocardiography was decreased to 72\u200ammHg, but all the other symptoms and signs failed to further improve after taking these medications for 6 months.\nIn March 2011, he went to the Kyorin University affiliated hospital in Japan for further treatment.\nRight heart catheterization revealed PAP 72/34/47\u200ammHg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) 17/5/10\u200ammHg, cardiac output 4.3\u200aL/min, cardiac ejection index 2.36\u200aL/min/m2, and pulmonary vascular resistance 7.3 Wood units.\nHe was retested for CTPA that showed that the thrombus in the upper lobe artery of the right lung disappeared.\nHe was still diagnosed as having IPAH, so treated with sildenafil (20\u200amg 3 times a day) and sorafenib (400\u200amg once a day) targeted PAH therapy and oral warfarin anticoagulation therapy (2.5\u20133.75\u200amg per day, but the daily dose was adjusted by INR that was between 2 and 3).\nDisappointingly, his dyspnea was not relieved and the PAP tested by the echocardiography was around 95\u200ammHg.\nIn September 2011, he visited the Shanghai Pulmonary hospital in China because of no relief of dyspnea.\nArterial blood gas analysis showed that PaO2 was 63\u200ammHg with oxygen saturation 93%; lung function test revealed a mild obstructive dysfunction of the pulmonary ventilation (FEV1/FVC 62.06%, FEV1% Prediction 80.9%) and a severe reduction in the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO 42%); 6-minute walk test was 385\u200am.\nChest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) (Fig.1A and B) showed smooth thickening of interlobular septa, diffuse centrilobular nodules, and the enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes.\nThe right heart catheterization revealed that PAP was 83/34/53\u200ammHg and PCWP was 14/6/11\u200ammHg.\nAcute vasodilator testing was negative.\nCoronary angiography and CTPA were both normal; pulmonary ventilation/perfusion (V\u2019/Q\u2019) lung scan showed a matched ventilation and perfusion defects.\nBronchoalveolar lavage showed an elevated percentage (65%) of hemosiderin-laden macrophages with the Golde score 80 (the normal range: 0\u201320).\nHe was still diagnosed as having IPAH, but he was suspected as actually having PVOD.\nHe was continuously treated with the targeted PAH therapy, and he was asked to continue his anticoagulation treatment, but he stopped warfarin anticoagulation treatment by himself sometime in 2014 (he failed to recall the exact date.) because he felt that it was too cumbersome to frequently test the INR for blood coagulation monitoring.\nFurthermore, after he discontinued his warfarin therapy, he also failed to monitor D-Dimer to prevent PE recurrence.\nHis dyspnea was relatively stable, but he developed many, but not fatal, episodes of pulmonary edema during the therapy.\nIn January 2015, he was rushed to hospital because his dyspnea was suddenly exacerbated.\nCTPA showed a thrombus in the right main pulmonary artery (Fig.1C).\nRivaroxaban was administered for anticoagulation treatment, but this medication did not relieve his dyspnea, therefore, he was too ill to walk.\nInstead, he was bound to his wheelchair for half a year.\nThe severe PAH (suspected as PVOD) combined with a life-threatening PE mandates a lung transplantation for his survival.\nSix months later, he was undergone a bilateral sequential allogenic lung transplantation assisted by veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) after he signed the written consent on July 29, 2015.\nHistology of the explanted lung specimen showed pulmonary vein occlusion (Fig.1D\u2013F) and the pulmonary embolism in the right pulmonary artery.\nUntil then, he was confirmed as having PVOD combined with PE, instead of IPAH.\nHe has been living well without dyspnea for more than 1 year after the lung transplantation and the echocardiography showed the normalizations of PAP and the once enlarged right ventricle of his heart.\nThis study was approved by the Ethics Committee of The People's Hospital of Zhongshan City.\nThe written informed consent was obtained from the patient.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "69-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 17 }, {

progressive visual disturbance, which began about 4 years ago and was treated as cataract in local hospital, but no relief was seen.\nOn the contrary, the symptoms aggravated half a year ago, together with headache, left eye pain, tearing and increased secretions, and the computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain in local hospital showed a sellar region lesion.\nBesides, 2 years earlier, the patient underwent resection of melanoma in the left heel (T2N0M0, ki67 3\u20135%, Stage II), followed by resection of the recurred melanoma nearby the primary site 15 months later (T3N3M0, Stage III), without lymphadenectomy.\nShe had no family history of melanoma.\nOn physical examination, the patient had bilateral temporal hemianopsia, the right finger counting was 1\u200am, and the left finger counting was no more than 0.5\u200am.\nEnlarged lymph nodes were palpable in the right groin.\nOn ophthalmologic examination, the patient had right vision of 0.4 and left vision of 0.08, with the same intraocular pressure 15\u200amm Hg bilaterally.\nThe optometry found the right eye of +6.00DS/+0.25DC\u221765\u00b0 and the left eye of +6.25DS/+0.50DC\u221720\u00b0.\nThe patient had maculopathy of both eyes and optic atrophy of the left eye.\nLight reflex and eye movement of both eyes were normal.\nCT scans of the brain parenchyma, orbital, and chest were unremarkable.\nCT scan and ultrasound examination of the abdomen showed hepatic portal and retroperitoneal lymphadenectasis and enlarged left lobe of the liver with substantial placeholder lesions.\nUltrasound examination of bilateral inguinal lymph nodes discovered multiple low echo light groups, the largest of which was 31\u200amm in diameter, with hilus of the echo and asymmetrical thickening of the skin.\nCT scan of sellar region revealed a crumby mass, protruding out of the sphenoid sinus, with obscure boundary and bone destruction.\nAnd the average CT value of the mass was 46\u200aHU.\nSellar region magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a round mass of 30\u200amm in diameter in the enlarged sellae (Fig.1A, B).\nThe mass showed isointense in T1-weighted images (T1-WI) and T2-weighted images (T2-WI), with homogeneous enhancement after Gadolinium-DTPA injection, and dural tail sign was seen.\nSmall foci inside the tumor showed hyperintense signals in T1-WI and hypointense signals in T2-WI, without enhancement.\nAnd it was seen that the mass penetrated meninges, surrounded the left internal carotid artery, and was blurred with the left optic nerve.\nPituitary stalk became shorter with a right displacement.\nLaboratory findings revealed increased levels of prolactin (119.08\u200a\u03bcg/L, normal range 5.99\u201330.04\u200a\u03bcg/L) and cortisol (677.10\u200anmol/L, normal range

range 3.50\u20136.50\u200apmol/L).\nThe patient was diagnosed with a giant prolactinoma.\nThe patient underwent transnasal transsphenoidal surgery to remove the tumor and relieve the compression of the optic nerve.\nIntraoperatively, it was seen that the tumor invaded and filled the left interval of the sphenoid sinus, and part of bone in sellar floor and left side parasellar was destroyed and absorbed.\nA little normal pituitary tissue was seen in the top right of tumor in the sellar turcica.\nThe tumor was reddish black with extremely rich blood supply and had close adhesion to the surrounding structure.\nThe texture in the center of the tumor was soft and much tougher over the rim.\nIntraoperative frozen-section examination found melanin granules, and it was considered to be malignant melanoma or meningioma.\nThe tumor cells were composed of eosinophilic staining epithelial cells.\nMost of cell nuclei were round, a few were reniform and hippocrepiform with evident nucleoli, and nuclear fission was seen.\nThe tumor showed no evidence of necrosis (Fig.2).\nThe tumor was immunopositive focally for melanoma-specific markers such as S-100, HMB45, and Vimentin, and immunopositive for neuroendocrine tumor markers such as CgA and Syn (Fig.3).\nThe Ki67 index was 3% to 5%; it was higher in metastatic melanoma than in the adenomatous component.\nTaken the melanoma history and suspected lymph node and hepatic metastasis into consideration, the patient was diagnosised with MMPA.\nAfter surgery, significant relief was seen in visual field and headache, and the level of prolactin, cortisol, and FT4 returned to normal with hormone replacement therapy.\nBecause the focal liver lesions and lymphadenectasis did not cause much discomfort, the patient refused any further surgical intervention or other treatment.\nShe was discharged from the hospital immediately and was disease free until 2 months after the third surgery.\nThe patient successively found new melanoma metastatic sites in the skin of lower left leg, knees, the upper left leg, the left groin and the right groin, and the right leg.\nAt the follow-up in late January 2016, the patient could not walk and live by herself and was depressed.\nAt the latest follow-up, in late January, 2017, the patient was alive with worse symptoms, she had sensory deficits of both legs, which could not move, hyperalgesia of hands and mouth, impaired intelligence, but she lived well with the disease by careful nursing of her daughter.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "March 2015", "label": "DATE", "start": 2,

"full_text": "In 2013, a 50-year-old man patient visited hospital complaining of local bone pain in the left leg.\nOn August 14, 2013, the patient underwent a left distal femoral tumor en bloc resection and reconstruction with a modular femoral prosthetic system.\nPathology diagnosis confirmed osteoblastic osteosarcoma (Fig.2).\nOne cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with MAP regimen (high-dose methotrexate, cisplatin, and doxorubicin) were administered.\nIn January 2015, a mass was found on the left upper crus area.\nTumor recurrence was confirmed by biopsy on January 23, 2015.\nHowever, only an upper femur amputation was carried out, as the patient refused hip joint replacement.\nAfter wound healing, the patient went back to his normal life in the help of artificial limb, but refused to receive further chemotherapy due to concerns regarding the chemotherapy toxicities such as nausea, vomiting, leucopenia, deadlimb, and headache.\nAbout half a year after the amputation, the patient got occasional cough and chest tightness.\nThen a thin chest computed tomography (CT) was performed on July 15, 2015.\nThe CT results revealed multiple pulmonary nodules (Table \u200b1), considering the possibility of metastases.\nThe patient still rejected further chemotherapy.\nImmunophenotype was suggestive of CD31+ and CD34+ tumor cells (Fig.3).\nFurthermore, most cells showed strong positive staining for VEGFR-2 (Fig.3).\nApatinib was administered at a dose of 500\u200amg daily.\nHalf a month later, the symptoms disappeared, but a progressive wound necrosis appeared.\nA debridement surgery was finally conducted and an enlarged lymph node near iliac vessels was resected on February 24, 2016 (Fig.(Fig.4).4).\nThe result of pathological examination revealed an inflammatory hyperplasia lymph node.\nApatinib administration was stopped during the 3 weeks of wound healing period.\nThe thin chest CT was performed 7 and 11 months following apatinib administration.\nAt the 7-month follow-up time point, 2 out of 5 measurable and 9 out of 17 non-measurable lesions disappeared, but 1 new measurable nodule and 6 new non-measurable lesions were observed (Table \u200b1, Fig.5), which considered PD according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 standard.\nHowever, at the 11-month follow-up time point, a total of 9 lesions disappeared, including 1 measurable nodule and 2 non-measurable lesions presented before apatinib treatment as well as 6 non-measureable lesions presented 7 months after apatinib treatment.\nNo new lesion was raised.\nAfter target lesion measurement according to the RECIST 1.1 standard, it was narrowly considered PR.\nThe toxicities the patient experienced included mild hand-foot syndrome and slight high blood pressure.\nBoth were well controlled after appropriate treatment.\nNo severe toxicities and other treatment-related adverse events were observed.\nThe patient continued to use apatinib as maintenance therapy without major toxic effects, and went back to normal life, even driving an automatic car.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "In

radiologically.\nOther than dizziness, the patient presented no signs or symptoms that are commonly associated with neurological disease, such as headache, vomiting, sensory disturbances, altered consciousness, or seizures.\nExcept for a 20-year history of hypertension, which was properly controlled with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, the patient was otherwise healthy.\nNo special circumstances were identified regarding her personal or family history, and the patient was found to be normal upon neurological examination.\nPlain and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head showed a space-occupying lesion in the bifrontal lobe, mainly on the right side, clinging to the sagittal sinus and the cerebral falx.\nThe 5.7\u200a\u00d7\u200a5.0\u200a\u00d7\u200a5.0\u200acm dural-based mass growing across the sagittal midline revealed isointensity on the T1-weighted image and a slight hyperintensity on the T2-weighted image and was homogenously enhanced with a characteristic \u201cdural-tail\u201d sign (Fig.1).\nDiagnosis of a parasagittal-parafalcine meningioma was made, and a craniotomic meningioma resection was chosen as treatment.\nThe blood cell examination; coagulation function, liver and renal function tests; urinalysis; chest x-rays and electrocardiogram were normal.\nThe albumin was 36\u200ag/L, the total bilirubin (TBil) was 12.2\u200a\u03bcmol/L, and the direct bilirubin (DBil) was 4.1\u200a\u03bcmol/L.\nAlanine transaminase (ALT) was 17\u200aU/L, and the international normalized ratio (INR) for coagulation values was 1.02.\nBecause of the patient's advanced age and history of hypertension, we performed an echocardiograph and a blood gas analysis and tested her creatine kinase levels and pulmonary functions.\nThe results revealed no surgical contraindications.\nWritten consent was obtained from the patient.\nFive hundred milligrams of VPA twice per day was initiated 3 days before the operation.\nThe patient tolerated the administration well.\nA craniotomy was then performed with a radical tumor resection (Simpson II).\nThe tumor was pink and solid and had a moderate blood supply, and its texture was medium.\nThirty minutes before the end of surgery, 800\u200amg of VPA was administered by intravenous infusion.\nAfter the operation, the patient regained consciousness within 30 minutes and scored 15 on the Glasgow coma scale (GCS).\nTwo hours later as she was being transported back to her ward, the patient underwent UGH.\nThe vomitus (approximately 50\u200amL) was composed of coffee-colored blood.\nExcluding the possible etiology of endotracheal intubation damage, we diagnosed the patient as experiencing acute erosive-hemorrhagic gastritis, a reaction to the craniotomy injury.\nThe patient was given omeprazole to inhibit gastric acid secretion, and the hematemesis ceased.\nThe patient was administered VPA (1200\u200amg, intravenously) during the first 2 postoperative days.\nBecause of her stomach and intestine functional recovery, the VPA dosage was changed to 500\u200amg via oral administration twice a day.\nA brain MRI was performed on postoperative day 3, and it revealed that the tumor was radically removed and the operative field was clean (Fig.2A and B).\nA subsequent paraffin histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of meningioma.\nAt 3 am on postoperative day 4, the patient was suddenly found in a deep coma.\nHer pupils were dilated to 3.0\u200amm and round, and the light reflex was sensitive.\nThe neurological examination was unremarkable, and her vital signs were stable; however, her mental state gradually changed to a deep coma (GCS\u200a=\u200a8), which we believed was caused by intracranial lesions.\nA computerized tomography (CT) scan of the brain was immediately performed; however, it failed to reveal any abnormalities, such as severe brain swelling, intracranial hemorrhage, or cerebral infarction (Fig.2C).\nBecause a possible cerebral infarction could not be excluded within 24\u200ahours, glucocorticoid, mannitol, and a vasodilator were used.\nThe patient's routine laboratory results for blood cell, liver, and renal functions were in relatively normal ranges.\nThe albumin was 33\u200ag/L, the TBil was 13.3\u200a\u03bcmol/L, and the DBil was 4.5\u200a\u03bcmol/L.\nALT was 12\u200aU/L, and the INR for coagulation values was 1.01.\nBecause of her history of UGH, we checked her blood ammonia levels and performed a fecal occult blood test and blood gas analysis.\nHer blood ammonia was elevated (181.6\u200a\u03bcmol/L; normal range is 11\u201332\u200a\u03bcmol/L), whereas the fecal occult blood test was positive.\nThus, considering her history and elevated blood ammonia, she was diagnosed with UGH-induced hepatic encephalopathy, and the oral administration of VPA was changed to intravenous administration to prevent seizures.\nLactulose, vitamin B, and L-arginine were administered, clysis with vinegar was performed, and the patient was fasted.\nThe patient's blood ammonia level fluctuated (144.8\u2013207.7\u200a\u03bcmol/L), and she remained unconscious during the following 3 days.\nBecause of the unremarkable progress in the patient's mental state and blood ammonia level, we held a multidisciplinary conference to discuss diagnosis and treatment, initially considering hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.\nAfter the multidisciplinary discussion, a suspected diagnosis of VHE was finally made, even though the blood VPA level was within the normal range.\nWe decided to stop VPA administration before performing any dialysis and administered levetiracetam instead of VPA.\nThe patient's blood VPA and ammonia levels were then routinely monitored.\nThe patient's mental state began to improve from the first 24\u200ahours of VPA discontinuation, and she achieved complete consciousness within 48\u200ahours (GCS\u200a=\u200a15).\nThe ammonia levels in her blood decreased dramatically and returned to normal within 4 days (Fig.3).\nOn postoperative day 15 (8 days after the discontinuation of VPA), the patient was discharged with no complications.\nThe follow-up interviews in postoperative month 5 witnessed her full consciousness and non-recurrence of the primary tumor (Fig.2D).\nThe patient's GCS score was 15, and she reported enjoying a satisfying quality of postoperative life.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "61-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "Chinese", "label": "PERSONAL_BACKGROUND", "start":

retroperitoneal metastatic lymph node in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with a history of right liver resection in 2010, pulmonary wedge resection in 2012, and transarterial chemoembolization twice in 2014, in which the postoperative pathology suggested the mixed liver cancer, and poorly differentiated lung cancer from liver metastasis.\nAt examination, the tumor was very close to the duodenum, pancreas, stomach, and hepatic portal vein.\nThe patient with unresectable masses had hypertension over 10 years and chronic HBV-related cirrhosis for 30 years when he was treated with lamivudine 100\u200amg qd, and adefovir dipivoxil 10\u200amg qd for 6 years.\nHe kept a constant body temperature of 37\u200a\u00b0C, the blood pressure of 148/96\u200amm\u200aHg, and the pulse of 77 beats every minute.\nThe patient had no obvious sense of abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea, and vomiting.\nOn a test of tumor markers levels, the results were normal, which showed carcinoembryonic antigen 3.7\u200ang/mL, alpha fetoprotein 17.3\u200ang/mL, and carbohydrate antigen 19\u20139 levels 6.1\u200aU/mL.\nIn this study, the procedure was approved by the ethics committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University.\nThe efficacy of local ablation was estimated with Choi criteria, which appraised the variations both in tumor size and lesion density on computed tomography (CT) imaging: complete response, disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions; partial response (PR), a decrease in size of 10% or a decrease in tumor density over 15% on CT and no new lesions; stable disease, not fit for complete response, PR, or progressive disease; and progressive disease, an increase in tumor size over 10% and not fit for PR by tumor density on CT or new lesions.[19]\nPreoperative MR imaging scan showed a mass of 2.8\u200a\u00d7\u200a3.5\u200acm in size close to the duodenum, pancreas, and blood vessels (Fig.1A).\nDuring substance phase, MR images indicated mildly high signal intensity around the tumor and intermediate low signal intensity in the solid component and in the walls (Fig.1B).\nBefore the initial ablation, there was a retroperitoneal mild hyperechoic area on axial US image (Fig.1C).\nIn this study, the inpatient underwent percutaneous transhepatic biopsies and ablations to avoid the nearby blood vessels, the procedure of which was performed about 40 minutes under local anesthesia and mild sedation.\nWe used ultrasonography to real-timely guide the inserting of 2 Nd:YAG laser fibers (Echolaser X4, ESAOTE, Italy) in 0.3\u200amm diameter through a 21-gauge Chiba needle into the lesions (Fig.1D).\nAlthough part of the heat ran off by blood flow,[20] ablation could keep valid area from 12 to 15\u200amm with the power of 5\u200aW in 5 to 6 minutes.\nSubsequently, immediate ultrasonography showed that the whole lesion was covered with hyperechoic zone (Fig.\u200b(Fig.1E and F).\nHowever, the next day contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) revealed an abnormal residual of proximal part of the pancreatic head (Fig.2A).\nAt 5-day follow-up contrast-enhanced CT images, the lower mass had low signal intensity and upper tumor revealed intermediate high signal intensity of residual in substance phase (Fig.2B and C).\nSurprizingly, 1-week follow-up CEUS image showed an enlarged retroperitoneal lymph node located near the pancreatic head, which could be fusion of these residuary small nodules (Fig.2D).\nThen the patient undergoing the 2nd ablation with 2 laser fibers showed the lesions well-defined hyperechoic zone (Fig.2E and F).\nOn the 2nd day, postoperative CEUS images showed they were still remanent (Fig.2G and I).\nAt the corresponding MR imaging, it also showed this in left of tumor (Fig.2H).\nThus, the 3rd laser ablation was performed (Fig.2J)2J) and 3 days later CEUS found that there was still a minor lesion located in the separation gap of last 2 needles (Fig.3A).\nSubsequently the patient had the 4th ablation along this separation gap until hyperechoic overlay (Fig.3B\u2013D), then 3 days later, based on these 4 treatments, enhanced CT image of the retroperitoneal mass suggested complete necrosis (Fig.3E\u2013G).3E\u2013G).\nAfter the following 1 month, substance phase MR revealed low-intensity signal of tumor necrosis with resolution of his problems (Fig.3H).\nUntil 5 months after 4 ablations, CT showed the tumor PR with little enhanced recurrence (yellow arrows), which located in the left lower edge of original lesions (Fig.4A and B).\nOn laboratory test of tumor markers, the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha fetoprotein, and carbohydrate antigen 19\u20139 indicated 3.6\u200ang/mL, 26.7\u200ang/mL, and 8.1\u200aU/mL, respectively.\nNo obvious side effects were discovered in this case during these procedures.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "60-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "man",

2014, he suffered from severe productive cough with mucus sputum for several months and unintentional body weight loss 6\u200akg within 6 months.\nAfter sputum analysis and chest imaging examinations in May 2014, he was diagnosed of squamous cell carcinoma in right upper lobe lung (cT3N2M0, stage IIIa).\nThen he received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (etoposide 70\u200amg [45\u200amg/m2]\u200a+\u200acisplatin 79\u200amg [50\u200amg/m2]; 4500\u200acGY in 25 fractions) from June to July 2014.\nIn October 2014, surgical intervention was arranged.\nBecause the tumor was located at right hilum and invaded main bronchus and major vessels, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with right side intrapericardial pneumonectomy was performed.\nPostoperatively, pathological exams revealed squamous cell carcinoma, T3N0M0, stage IIB.\nThe postoperative course was smooth but he suffered from severe cough and right chest pain one month later.\nLaboratory exams revealed leukocytosis (white blood cells\u200a=\u200a21,860\u200a\u03bcL) and elevated C-reactive protein to 23.94\u200amg/dL.\nChest X-ray showed cavitary lesion and computed tomography showed pleural effusion and fluid collection with mottled gas appearance in the dependent portion of right hemithorax (Fig.1A).\nAccording to the patient's history, results of laboratory exams, and imaging findings, postpneumonectomy empyema was diagnosed and bronchopleural fistula was highly suspected.\nAfter admission, chest tube drainage was inserted and bronchoscopic tissue glue sealing was performed.\nHowever, persistent air leakage was presented and we decided to repair the bronchial stump with flap coverage.\nBecause the patient just received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy a few months ago, the flaps harvested from chest area were not appropriate because the pedicle arteries might have been injured by irradiation.\nAfter discussing with the plastic surgeon, we decided to repair the bronchial stump by a TRAM flap.\nIntraoperatively, the patient was placed in supine.\nRight side exploratory thoracotomy was performed and the bronchial stump was located.\nThe superior epigastric vascular artery and right rectus abdominis muscle was identified and the location of the TRAM flap was marked on the skin (Fig.2A).\nThen the TRAM flap was harvested from right rectus abdominis (Fig.2B) and was deepithelialized (Fig.2C).\nThrough a subcutaneous tunnel, the TRAM flap was moved toward the right thoracic space with no tension or kinking on the pedicle (Fig.2D).\nThen the TRAM flap was fixed to posterior chest wall to cover the bronchial stump (Fig.2E) and the tissue glue was also applied to the bronchial stump under bronchoscope.\nThe donor site of flap was closed with mesh repair.\nThe postoperative course was smooth and the air leak was diminished gradually.\nThen the patient was discharge under stable condition and was free from air leak after following for 12 months (Fig.1B).\nThe patient provided written informed consent for publication of this report and all accompanying images.\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "61-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2,

{ "full_text": "A 63-year-old male patient without smoking or drinking history was admitted on June 11, 2014.\nHis major complaints were gradually aggravated dysphagia and fatigue, on suspicion of obstructive disease in upper digestive tract.\nHe had been an athlete before, and then retired in good physical status before admission.\nHis family and social history indicated nothing abnormal.\nThorough physical examination of his skin, oral mucosa, eyes, and genital areas failed to identify any superficial lesions.\nAdditionally, laboratory tests including hepatic function, renal function, and serum tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin 19 fragment, squamous cell carcinoma, neuron-specific enolase, and carbohydrate antigen 125 were all in normal range.\nTherefore, further endoscopic and radiological examinations were carried out for accurate diagnosis.\nEndoscopic examination revealed a slightly pigmented, irregular mass, which was located in lower esophagus, measuring 5.0\u200acm\u200a\u00d7\u200a3.0\u200acm in size.\nFine needle biopsy of the lesion revealed esophageal melanoma, which was confirmed by histopathology.\nBesides chest and abdomen computed tomography (CT), enhanced cranial magnetic resonance image (MRI) and bone emission computed tomography (ECT) showed enlarged mediastinal, nd also celiac lymph nodes (Fig.1A), without obvious involvement of supraclavicular lymph nodes.\nConcurrently, the CT showed an isolated, irregular pulmonary tumor (Fig.1B).\nPositron emission tomography was not carried out, because it was not covered by health insurance of this patient.\nTherefore, this patient was clinically staged as cT3NxM1 according to the 7th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM staging system for esophageal cancer.\nCT-guided percutaneous pulmonary biopsy was avoided, with the aim to diminish the risk of tumor dissemination.\nSingle-stage resection of the esophageal and pulmonary lesions was assumed to be reasonable after multidisciplinary consultation, which was approved by Ethical Committee of Xuzhou Central Hospital.\nBecause the prognosis of this patient probably was extremely poor without targeted antibodies, which he could not afford for financial reasons.\nAfter his informed consent, simultaneous Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and right upper lobectomy were performed successfully, under general anesthesia, after double-lumen endotracheal intubation, followed by systemic dissection of lymph nodes located in mediastinum and abdomen, in accordance with the principles of oncological surgery.\nThe operation time was 290 minutes, without obvious bleeding during the surgery.\nPostoperative pathological staining of the specimen revealed pleomorphic cells and abundant melanin granules (Fig.1C), whereas immunohistochemical tests demonstrated positive expression of human melanoma black 45 (HMB45), microtubule-associated protein tau 1 (MAPT1), melan A and S100, and negative expression of desmin, synaptophysin, and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), which was consistent with melanoma.\nThe resection margin and dissected lymph nodes were pathologically tumor-negative.\nIn addition, molecular study of the patient indicated mutation of V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) V600E.\nBased on these findings, a diagnosis of advanced PMME was tentatively established as stage IV (pT3N0M1), because there was insufficient evidence to distinguish synchronous primary pulmonary melanoma from metastasis for this patient.\nThe postoperative recovery was mainly uneventful, and the patient was discharged 14 days after surgery.\nSubsequently, 4 cycles of adjuvant conventional chemotherapy with an interval of 3 weeks were completed, with controlled moderate toxic effects including thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.\nThe detailed chemotherapy regimen is as follows: paclitaxel liposome for injection on day 1 and day 8 (135\u200amg per square meter of body surface area; Nanjing Luye Sike Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Jiangsu, China.), tegafur injection on day 2 to 4 (1000\u200amg per square meter of body-surface area; Shandong Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Jinan, China.) plus cis-platinum on day 2 to 3 (75\u200amg per square meter of body-surface area; Shandong Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Jinan, China).\nThis patient suffered from moderate leukopenia/ myelosuppression after the second cycle of TPF chemotherapy, and he recovered quickly after the administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).\nConcurrently, recombinant human interferon alpha-2b (Harbin pharmaceutical group biological engineering Co., Ltd, Harbin, China) was administrated via hypodermic injection thereafter (6000 units every 3 days; Fig.2), lasting for 1 year.\nThe patient was followed up continuously after the surgery.\nChest and abdomen CT, cranial MRI, bone ECT, and thorough physical examination were carried out every 3 months.\nEncouragingly, the patient survived without loco-regional recurrence or remote metastasis during the follow-up of two and a half years up to now (Fig.3).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "63-year-old", "label": "AGE", "start": 2, "end": 13 }, { "text": "male", "label": "SEX", "start": 14, "end": 18 }, { "text": "without smoking or drinking

proband (II-2 in Fig.2) is a 45-year old woman, who first presented to our university hospital at the age of 35 and was referred to us because of her pregnancy.\nShe has congenital deafness, first experienced syncope at the age of 3, and was diagnosed with epilepsy.\nShe was treated with anti-epilepsy medications; however, she subsequently experienced several instances of syncope.\nAt the age of 13, she had a syncope event, and was suspected of having JLNS because of her congenital deafness and prolonged QT interval.\nHer syncope was diagnosed as an arrhythmic episode when she was aware of tachycardia and as epilepsy when she was not.\nShe also had a subarachnoid hemorrhage at the age of 29.\nWhen she first presented at our hospital, she was not taking beta-blockers, because of a history of asthma, but was taking mexiletine in addition to phenytoin.\nHer QTc was found to be prolonged (584 ms) at presentation and administration of atenolol was initiated.\nShe delivered her baby (III-1 in Fig.2) through Caesarean operation at our hospital at the age of 35.\nAt 37, she delivered her second baby (III-2 in Fig.2) through Caesarean operation at our hospital.\nDespite administration of beta-blockers, her QTc remained prolonged (600 msec at the age of 37, 780 msec at 44) (Figs.2 and \u200b3a), which is not unexpected because treatment with beta-blockers in LQTS1 is not expected to overtly reduce QTc [18].\nHowever, she continued to experience occasional syncope and finally underwent an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) operation at 38 years of age.\nSubsequently, she is in a stable clinical condition.\nBecause the proband was suspected of JLNS and both infants had a measured QTc of 500 ms or greater within 1 month after birth, beta blockers were initiated and both children remain in stable condition at ages 10 and 8 (Figs.2 and 3b, c).\nQTc of the son (III-1 in Fig.2) was measured as 500 ms one month after birth, while the QTc of his sister (III-2) was 530 ms at birth.\nThe father (I-1) and mother (I-2) of the proband were first cousins.\nThere is no history of sudden unexplained syncope or death of children or adults in the immediate family members, despite the prolonged QTc of the children.\nClinical evaluation and consultation of the proband and her family members were performed at Chiba University Hospital.\nClinical phenotypes were deduced from the clinical history, physical examinations, and ECG.\nBlood samples were collected from the proband and her family members following genetic counseling, and written informed consent was obtained prior to sample collection.\nGenomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes according to established protocols at our laboratory [19].\nEntire coding exons, including the intronic boundaries of the genes, of KCNQ1 (NCBI ref: NM_000218) and other LQT causative genes (KCNH2, SCN5A, KCNE1, KCNE2, KCNJ2, SCN4B, KCNJ5) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), according to established protocols in our laboratory.\nBriefly, 30\u2013100 ng of genomic DNA was subjected to PCR amplification with DNA polymerase (PrimeSTAR GXL DNA Polymerase; Takara Bio Inc., Kusatsu, Japan) and primer sets.\nThe amplicons were subjected to conventional sequencing with Sanger sequencers (Applied Biosystems 3730/3130 DNA analyzers; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).\nThe sequence data were processed with Gene Codes Sequencher Software (Takara Bio Inc.) and mapped to the human genome sequence (build GRCh37/hg19).\nGenetic analysis was performed to screen all coding exons and the exon\u2013intron boundaries of the KCNQ1 gene (NCBI ref: NM_000218.2, NP_000209.2) with concurrent screening of other LQT causative genes (KCNH2, SCN5A, KCNE1, KCNE2, KCNJ2, SCN4B, KCNJ5).\nWe detected a novel homozygous nonsense variant, NM_000218.2:c.115G\u2009>\u2009T (p.Glu39X, in exon 1a), in the KCNQ1 gene of the proband, as well as a homozygous common variant (NM_000218.2:c.1343C\u2009>\u2009G, p.Pro448Arg) (Additional file 1: Table S1).\nGenetic screening of her mother (I-2) and children (III-1 and III-2) revealed that they were heterozygous for the nonsense variant (Fig.2).\nHer husband (II-3) was also screened and found to be heterozygous for the common variant (NM_000218.2:c.1343C\u2009>\u2009G, p.Pro448Arg).\nThe proband is a child from a first-cousin marriage, and we have concluded the homozygous nonsense variant in the proband is the cause of her JLNS1.\nThe proband was negative for pathogenic variants in other LQT causative genes, including the KCNE1 gene (Additional file 1: Table S1).\n", "ner_info": [ { "text": "45-year old", "label": "AGE", "start": 33, "end": 44 }, { "text": "woman", "label": "SEX", "start": 45, "end": 50
