Severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: when the obvious is not obvious, a case report
Thrombocytopenia commonly occurs in hospitalized patients, particularly critically ill patients. We present an exemplifying case of severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in an effort to solidify its high priority in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia. A 75-year-old female underwent cardiac surgery with intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) placement. A platelet count drop to 25 x ...

متن کاملFinding optimal ingroup topologies and convexities when the choice of outgroups is not obvious.
Considerable confusion remains among theoreticians and practicioners of phylogenetic science on the use of outgroup taxa. Here, we show that, despite claims to the contrary, details of the optimal ingroup topology can be changed by switching outgroup taxa. This has serious implications for phylogenetic accuracy. We delineate between the process of outgroup selection and the various possible pro...
متن کاملTransitivity is Not Obvious: Probing Prerequisites for Learning
Empirical results from a fraction addition task reveal a surprising gap in prior knowledge: difficulty applying the transitive property of equality in a symbolic context. 13 out of the 182 4 and 5 graders (7%) correctly applied the transitive property of equality to identify the sum of two fractions in a step-by-step worked example. This difficulty was robust to brief instruction on transitivit...
