We constructed a decision analysis model based on data in the medical literature to estimate the possible outcomes of thrombolytic therapy in patients 50 to 80 years old with possible myocardial infarction. We used the model to test the most likely effects of treatment (determined by averaging the
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to create prediction models for outcome parameters by decision tree analysis based on clinical and laboratory data in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS The database consisted of clinical and laboratory parameters of 548 patients with
Eleven cases of tracheobronchial rupture are described. Nine were the result of external non-penetrating trauma and all but three had other serious injuries. The remaining two were caused by endobronchial intubation. Of the cases caused by external injury, respiratory tract injury was confined to
A 59-year old woman presented with hemoptysis of thick blood clots and fever of two days duration. Her medical history included sarcoidosis for which she was on chronic steroids. Computed tomography imaging revealed stage IV sarcoidosis with diffuse cystic and fibrotic changes bilaterally, worse in
We did a retrospective study in 12 patients with iatrogenic tracheal or tracheobronchial ruptures treated since 1975. Ten female subjects, one male subject, and one child (age range, 8 to 72 years), all of whom had undergone intratracheal intubation, were admitted to the hospital. Four patients had
Spargana of Spirometra erinacei infect many vertebrate species, but severe disease from sparganosis has been reported from few host species. Information on the effects of this common, introduced tapeworm of cats on Australian frogs is lacking. Our survey to detect significant diseases in
Few reports exist on venomous snake bites during pregnancy. Envenomation during pregnancy can result in fetal and maternal death. A woman at 33 weeks of gestation presented with green tree viper envenomation and vaginal bleeding. Investigation revealed a grossly deranged coagulation profile, severe
Cholelithiasis is one of the most common health disorders, but biliary surgery is burdened with numerous specific complications. These reoperations may be divided into early and late reoperations in terms of their precise therapeutic and prognostic differentiation. Recently, residual stones have
BACKGROUND
Cesarean delivery (CD) rates are rising in many parts of the world. To define strategies to reduce them, it is important to identify their clinical and organizational determinants. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to identify sub-types of women at higher risk of CD using
We report on 13 patients with a distinctive bile duct lesion that presented histologically as erythrocyte engorgement of the epithelium of the small bile ducts, resulting in a red-beaded appearance. In ten of our cases, the lesion was associated with a recent history of cholangiography, and in two
BACKGROUND
Classification and regression tree analysis involves the creation of a decision tree by recursive partitioning of a dataset into more homogeneous subgroups. Thus far, there is scarce literature on using this technique to create clinical prediction tools for aneurysmal subarachnoid
Hereditary telangiectasis is an uncommon condition and is thus not usually considered in the differential diagnosis of porta hepatis lymphadenopathy causing biliary tree obstruction. The present case illustrates a patient in whom tortuous vessels in the porta hepatis simulated masses on delayed

Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchial tree is a very rare condition. Few cases have been reported in the literature. It can be asymptomatic or manifest with massive hemoptysis. This disease should be considered among heavy smokers when recurrent massive hemoptysis is present amid otherwise
Caroli's disease, defined as a congenital cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic segmental bile ducts, has responded poorly to conventional methods of treatment. Medical treatment has not been useful, and the various surgical procedures that have been proposed have met with limited success. The
