Cardiac amyloidosis: a challenging diagnosis
Cardiovascular involvement of amyloidosis is present in 90% of cases, which is frequently associated with the primary form of the disease (AL amyloidosis). Clinical manifestations are represented by heart failure due to restrictive myocardiopathy and electrical impulse conduction abnormalities, which are clinically remarkable in up to 50% of the cases. The prognosis of patients with systemic am...
متن کاملIs Mutagenesis still challenging?
Mutagenesis is a well-known benchmark machine learning dataset. In this paper we present an overview of results for various methods applied to this dataset. In particular, we present a new result based on an ensemble method using Aleph-generated theories in which we achieve a cross-validated accuracy of 95.8%. This is the highest predictive accuracy to date, and we believe begs the question “Is...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis.
Systemic amyloidosis commonly affects the heart. Indeed, cardiac symptoms may be the first clinical indicator of underlying amyloid deposition. Using two case studies, this article reviews the latest evidence regarding cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be established through imaging with echocardiography and magnetic resonance. Supportive evidence may be gained from ...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a family of disorders of the immune system in which one or more organs in the body accumulate amyloid. There are four different forms of amyloidosis: systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis, amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, hereditary, and senile amyloidosis. The abnormal proteins can be found as Bence-Jones proteins in urine mainly in patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis....
متن کاملFetal mild ventriculomegaly: still a challenging problem.
Ventriculomegaly (VM) is defined as an enlargement of the lateral ventricles of the developing fetal brain. Measurement of the size of the fetal cerebral lateral ventricles is recommended as part of the fetal scan routinely performed during the second trimester to screen for fetal anomalies. The measurement is done at the level of the atria of the lateral ventricles filled by the echogenic chor...
