Objective: The researchers assessed prevalence in the clinical case report literature of multiple reports independently reporting the same (or nearly the same) main finding.
Methods: Results from forty-five PubMed queries were examined for incidence and features of main findings ("nuggets") shared in at least four case reports.
Results: The authors found that nuggets are surprisingly prevalent and large in the case report literature, the largest found so far was reported in seventeen articles. In most cases, the main findings of case reports were evident from examining titles alone.
Conclusions: Our curated examples should serve as gold standards for developing specific automated methods for finding nuggets. Nuggets potentially enable finding-based (instead of topic-based) information retrieval.

Epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described extensively but have never been compared between countries. We performed an individual patient data analysis of four observational studies to compare epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes. We used propensity score weighting to control for confounding factors.

Objective: Authors characterized all published adult cases of cutaneous, intertriginous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) to bring this clinical presentation to the attention of clinicians. We emphasize the morphology, histopathology, immunohistochemical profiles, and genetic mutations associated with these cases.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the National Center for Biotechnology Information's PubMed was conducted, utilizing the following specific key words to identify all adult LCH patients with cutaneous intertriginous involvement: "Intertriginous Langerhans," "Vulvar Langerhans," "Genital Langerhans," "Perineal Langerhans," "Perianal Langerhans," "Intergluteal Langerhans," "Inguinal Langerhans," "Axillary Langerhans," and "Inframammary Langerhans.

Background: Perception-related errors comprise most diagnostic mistakes in radiology. To mitigate this problem, radiologists use personalized and high-dimensional visual search strategies, otherwise known as search patterns. Qualitative descriptions of these search patterns, which involve the physician verbalizing or annotating the order he or she analyzes the image, can be unreliable due to discrepancies in what is reported versus the actual visual patterns.

The main objective of this prospective, multicenter study (REVEAL-CP) was to test children with cerebral palsy-like signs and symptoms for raised 3--methyldopa (3-OMD) blood levels, a biomarker for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCd). A secondary objective was to characterize the molecular basis for the defective aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) gene product. Patients were identified in pediatric secondary and tertiary care hospitals through database searches and personal communication.

Methods: Patients had squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) of the oral cavity, oropharynx, or larynx, with one or more risk factors warranting postoperative RT.
