Throughout STFM's 25th anniversary year, we illustrated the dynamic history of family medicine using the personal narratives of some of the discipline's founders and early leaders. We have attempted to take the energy of their spoken words and put it on paper for clinician educators to learn from and lead by. For us, as authors, this process has been enriching and has caused us to reexamine and...

The Reticulum Cell Sarcoma (RCS)' is a spontaneous lymphatic tumor of the SJL/J (H-29) mouse, first observed by Murphy (1) in upwards of 90% of SJL/J mice of amean age of 13 .3 mo. RCS tumors are considered B cell lineage neoplasms that exhibit Ig H chain gene rearrangements, but no surface or cytoplasmic Ig (2). Additionally, RCS tumors express IAs MHC-encoded polypeptides (3) . RCS tumors req...

Open Information Extraction is a recent paradigm for machine reading from arbitrary text. In contrast to existing techniques, which have used only shallow syntactic features, we investigate the use of semantic features (semantic roles) for the task of Open IE. We compare TEXTRUNNER (Banko et al., 2007), a state of the art open extractor, with our novel extractor SRL-IE, which is based on UIUC’s...

Infective endocarditis (IE) is an endovascular infection of cardiovascular structures – usually valves – but also large intra-thoracic vessels and intra-cardiac foreign bodies. It is typically caused by bacteria or fungi. In contrast, sterile thrombotic lesions are termed non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). IE is generally characterised by lesions of vegetations composed of platelets,...

In contrast with traditional relation extraction, which only considers a fixed set of relations, Open Information Extraction (Open IE) aims at extracting all types of relations from text. Because of data sparseness, Open IE systems typically ignore lexical information, and instead employ parse trees and Part-of-Speech (POS) tags. However, the same syntactic structure may correspond to different...

Many recently reported machine learning approaches to the acquisition of information extraction (IE) patterns have used dependency trees as the basis for their pattern representations (Yangarber et al., 2000a; Yangarber, 2003; Sudo et al., 2003; Stevenson and Greenwood, 2005). While varying results have been reported for the resulting IE systems little has been reported about the ability of dep...

1.1 Definitions Infective endocarditis (IE) is an endovascular, microbial infection of intracardiac structures facing the blood, including infections of the large intrathoracic vessels and of intracardiac foreign bodies. The early characteristic lesion is a variably sized vegetation, although destruction, ulceration, or abscess formation may be seen earlier by echocardiography (Habib et al, 200...
