Fulminant Influenza A myocarditis in a patient presenting with cardiogenic shock and biventricular thrombi: a case report.

Background: Acute myocarditis is a common condition, with viral infections being the most common aetiology in North America and Europe. Influenza A myocarditis is however rare. As clinical manifestation may be fulminant, early recognition and management are paramount and may impact overall prognosis by hindering complications such as thromboembolism.

Decision-Making in Multiple Sclerosis Patients: A Systematic Review.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is frequently associated with cognitive and behavioural deficits. A growing number of studies suggest an impact of MS on decision-making abilities. The aim of this systematic review was to assess if (1) performance of MS patients in decision-making tasks was consistently different from controls and (2) whether this modification was associated with cognitive dysfunction and emotional alterations.

Using discourse analysis to improve text categorization in MEDLINE.

Problem: Automatic keyword assignment has been largely studied in medical informatics in the context of the MEDLINE database, both for helping search in MEDLINE and in order to provide an indicative "gist" of the content of an article. Automatic assignment of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), which is formally an automatic text categorization task, has been proposed using different methods or combination of methods, including machine learning (naïve Bayes, neural networks..

Duplicated hepatic artery: radiologic and surgical implications.

Preoperative angiography of the coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery is routinely performed before liver resections and transplantations. For this purpose, it is usual to inject each branch of the coeliac trunk separately. Selective angiographic studies, however, may lead to overlooking surgically essential anatomic variations of the hepatic blood supply, as demonstrated by the present report.
