口语化疾病名称向国际规范疾病术语集的映射研究

目的：研究患者口语化疾病名称到术语疾病名称的映射，解决在线口语化疾病名称难以有效利用的问题。方法：抓取“微医网”上患者口语中的疾病名，将PubMed摘要、百度搜索页摘要与百科内容作为语料，训练词向量，用余弦距离计算相似度，由2名具有临床知识和从业经验的编码人员对结果的准确性进行检验。结果：将最相似词条的参数TopN设置为>= 30的时候效果比较好，映射到大类和细类的准确性分别稳定在60%和70%左右。结论：利用词向量将口语化疾病名称映射到国际疾病术语集，具有较强的通用性和可行性，对于在线问诊、智能分诊甚至自动化编码具有明显的参考借鉴价值。     

试从中医角度认识2019新型冠状病毒肺炎

2019新型冠状病毒肺炎属于中医疫病范畴,临床表现以发热、乏力、干咳为主,少数患者伴有鼻塞、流涕、腹泻等症状,其病位在肺,总的病机为湿郁于肺,治疗的关键环节是尽早正确及时除湿,通腑泄浊。依据四诊合参、审症求因,初步提出分期辨证论治:初期、中期、重症期、恢复期,在临证时需要个体化的中医治疗方案治疗本次疫病。未感染者要早预防,已感染者要早发现、早隔离、早诊断、早治疗。     

中药栀子本草考证

栀子临床应用广泛,且历史悠久,为更好地利用栀子资源,通过梳理历代文献与现代研究,对栀子名称、品种、产地、炮制、功效等方面进行考证,发现栀子命名主要以形态、色泽为依据,一定程度上反映了栀子的特征,并且存在与水栀子混用"黄栀"之名的情况。古代文献中记载的栀子产地最早为南阳,但产量不高,受人口迁移以及生产力发展的影响,栀子的产地主要转移到南方,且以南方产者为佳。在历代本草文献中记载入药用的栀子为山栀子,水栀子不堪入药,但在《伤寒论》等古代方书中有"肥栀子""大栀子"入药用的记载,通过后世对相应方剂的记载,确定二者应为水栀子,为水栀子的临床应用提供了有力依据。之所以与本草文献记载有所差异,应与《雷公炮炙论》和《伤寒论》的年代不同,栀子的产量及采收能力有所差距,且本草书重规范,择优入药,方书注重实用等特点有关,并且根据现代实验研究表明山栀子与水栀子化学成分组成、含量相似,具有相同的利胆作用。此外,系统整理了历代本草与方书中栀子的炮制方法和功效,并进行了分析,为栀子属资源的进一步研究与利用提供了参考和借鉴。     

Analyzing the Patient's First Name in the Search for Identity

A first name captures indispensable information about its bearer, including aspects of the individual's inner world and approach to the environment, the aspirations and attributions of the name-givers for the individual, and the transferences and countertransferences involving the feelings that a first name evokes. A name is therefore a code waiting to be deciphered that, when explored, can reveal its significance to its bearer. A name can impart multiple meanings; the process of interpreting a name is akin to peeling an onion layered in infinite sequences. This article proposes that an examination of the analysand's first name can be a useful clinical tool in psychoanalytic therapy. An exploration into the origin and meaning of a patient's first name through detailed inquiry and association can serve as a rich source of insight regarding relationships between name and self-identity, and can quickly expand the analytic process.

Breast reconstruction after therapeutic or prophylactic mastectomy for breast cancer: A comparison of guideline recommendations

BackgroundThe purpose of this article is to illuminate differences in published clinical practice guideline recommendations for breast reconstruction after prophylactic and therapeutic mastectomy.MethodsTen guidelines were identified through a systematic search of websites and databases of reputable oncology guideline developers, and key differences and gaps in recommendations were noted. Quality assessment of the guidelines was conducted by three reviewers using the AGREE II tool, focusing on breast reconstruction specific documents rather than the general breast cancer guidelines.ResultsThe most comprehensive guidelines were published by Alberta Health Services, Cancer Care Ontario, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Association of Breast Surgery/British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. AGREE II scores in the domains of “Scope and Purpose” and “Clarity and Presentation” were ranked relatively high for all four guidelines while “Applicability” and “Editorial Independence” were ranked relatively low. The Alberta and Ontario guidelines were the overall highest ranked guidelines across all domains.ConclusionOverall, these guidelines provide consistent recommendations on who should receive breast reconstruction education, who is a candidate for postmastectomy breast reconstruction, and the appropriate timing of reconstruction and extent of mastectomy. Future updates from all should focus on expanding to include alloplastic and autologous forms of reconstruction and should include a broad scope of relevant questions.     

Anglo-French neurological interactions in the 19th and early 20th centuries: Physicians,places and events

The development of neurology as an independent discipline in the mid-19th century was considerably influenced by the almost simultaneous foundation of the Charcot School at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris and the National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic and it's School at Queen Square in London in the 1860's. We have reviewed the early interactions between Charcot's school and the leading neurologists at the National Hospital and also discussed their neurological antecedents and subsequent links up to the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914. Earlier interactions involved Trousseau and Duchenne in France and Graves, Todd, Laycock and Allbutt in Britain. The French Brown–Séquard was one of the first two physicians appointed to the National Hospital. Charcot was a frequent visitor to Britain culminating in his influential role in the 1881 International Medical Congress in London. He first suggested the terms “Parkinson's Disease” and “Jacksonian Epilepsy”. He attracted numerous British visitors to Paris and his studies of hysteria were influenced by Laycock, Todd and Russell Reynolds. Hughlings Jackson drew upon the anatomical studies of Gratiolet in his interactions with Broca and Charcot which influenced French views on aphasia, epilepsy and cortical localisation. Ball, an Englishman, was the first Professor of mental and brain diseases in Paris in 1877. Bruce in Edinburgh and Kinnier Wilson in London both maintained frequent contacts with Paris, where the latter first presented his studies of hepatolenticular degeneration in 1912. The Entente Cordiale of 1904 led to further interactions with the leading role of the French and British physicians Raymond and Duckworth. Two outstanding British women, Elizabeth Garrett and Blanche Edwards, qualified in Medicine in Paris with neurological interests. Our review emphasises the constructive influence of the French and British Schools on each other and thus on the development of neurology. The French influence was primarily the establishment of the anatomo-clinical method and the use of photographic illustrations in publications. The British School influence was its Clinical Assessment Skills and scientific studies of newly recognised diseases and concepts and its early development of neurosurgery.     

Signos,síndromes y enfermedades con nombre propio

A review is presented of the most common signs, syndromes and diseases bearing the name of their discoverers. Until imaging and non-invasive diagnostic procedures appeared by the second half of the 20th century, diagnosis was mainly established by anamnesis and physical examination of the patients by inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. However, the unquestionable value of these findings should not relegate the clinical examination. Therefore, many signs of syndromes and disease have taken the name of their discoverers: Homan, Cushing, Fanconi, among others, are still current and useful despite the innovative diagnostic tools.
