A case of Ullrich disease was presented. The patient was a 3-year-old girl with torticollis, generalized muscle weakness and acroatonia since birth. High-arched palate, protruded calcaneus, and mild contracture of proximal joints were also recognized. Intellectual development was normal. Serum level of CPK was slightly increased. In histological and histochemical examinations of quadriceps femoris muscle, proliferated connective tissue, marked variation in the muscle fiber diameter, and a lot of degenerated and regenerated fibers were recognized. Minimal injury easily causes subcutaneous hemorrhage, but no abnormality was found in the structure of collagen.

Whereas pancreatic masses are often difficult to detect with transabdominal ultrasound, cross-sectional imaging features high sensitivity for the pancreatic tumors. However, increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to a surge in the detection of benign or precancerous pancreatic lesions. The medical history is characteristic only for two entities.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to improve human decisions in complex environments, but its effectiveness can remain limited if humans hold context-specific private information. Using the empirical example of antibiotic prescribing for urinary tract infections, we show that full automation of prescribing fails to improve on physician decisions. Instead, optimally delegating a share of decisions to physicians, where they possess private diagnostic information, effectively utilizes the complementarity between algorithmic and human decisions.
