Improving Information Extraction from Pathology Reports using Named Entity Recognition.

Pathology reports are considered the gold standard in medical research due to their comprehensive and accurate diagnostic information. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques have been developed to automate information extraction from pathology reports. However, existing studies suffer from two significant limitations.

Clinical characteristics of patients with mpox infection in the United Arab Emirates: a prospective cohort study.

Objectives: The study aims to explore the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of mpox infection in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at two communicable disease centers in Abu Dhabi, UAE and patients admitted with confirmed mpox infections between May 01, 2022 and December 31, 2022 were included in our study.

Results: A total of 176 mpox patients were admitted, of which 93% (n = 164) were men and mean age was 30.

Clinical prediction system of complications among patients with COVID-19: A development and validation retrospective multicentre study during first wave of the pandemic.

Clinical evidence suggests that some patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience a variety of complications associated with significant morbidity, especially in severe cases during the initial spread of the pandemic. To support early interventions, we propose a machine learning system that predicts the risk of developing multiple complications. We processed data collected from 3,352 patient encounters admitted to 18 facilities between April 1 and April 30, 2020, in Abu Dhabi (AD), United Arab Emirates.

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients hospitalised with COVID-19: clinical outcomes in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first reported in December 2019. The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from asymptomatic to severe and potentially fatal. We aimed to describe the clinical and laboratory features and outcomes of hospitalised patients with COVID-19 within the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Services Facilities (SEHA).

Protein C Deficiency Caused by a Novel Mutation in the Gene in an Infant with Delayed Onset Purpura Fulminans.

Protein C is an anticoagulant that is encoded by the gene. Protein C deficiency (PCD) is inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive pattern. Autosomal dominant PCD is caused by monoallelic mutations in and often presents with venous thromboembolism.

Significance of platelet count in children admitted with bronchiolitis.

Aim: To determine the true prevalence of thrombocytosis in children less than 2 years of age with bronchiolitis, its association with risk factors, disease severity and thromboembolic complications.

Methods: A retrospective observational medical chart review of 305 infants aged two years or less hospitalized for bronchiolitis. Clinical outcomes included disease severity, duration of hospital stay, admission to pediatric intensive care unit, or death.

Hyponatraemia and neurological complications in children admitted with bronchiolitis.

Background: Hyponatraemia occurs during bronchiolitis, sometimes with neurological manifestations. The prevalence of the latter differs widely and little is known about the time of occurrence and associated factors. This study was undertaken to investigate these complications.
