In his medical and scientific work, the outstanding Russian therapeutist V. Kh. Vasilenko paid great attention to methodology of clinical diagnosis prognosis. He formulated basic rules diagnosis, determined sequence doctor's actions in diagnostic process, clarified concepts «symptom» «syndrome» , defined prognosis highlighted its phases, showed form information patient about

Management of patients with sudden neurological deficit must be based on complete knowledge of the underlying cause. In about 80% of such patients, a careful history and examination will lead to a precise etiologic and anatomic diagnosis. If the deficit is vascular in etiology, therapy and prognosis depend on its stage of evolution.

BACKGROUND In China, most patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are diagnosed at a late stage and consequently have a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate potential factors associated with the clinical stage of NPC at diagnosis. METHODS Data were obtained from 118 patients with early-stage NPC and 274 with late-stage NPC who were treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Cent...

Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare neoplasm, largely unresponsive to chemotherapeutic medications, and with varied prognosis. Imaging on computerized tomography may demonstrate perivascular nodules, but diagnosis is ultimately made on biopsy with immunohistochemical analysis. Here we describe a case of PEH in a 14-year-old male with Crohn's disease, which, to our knowled...

INTRODUCTION Primary myofibroblastic sarcoma of the bone is a rare spindle cell tumour with, to the best of our knowledge, only eight cases reported in the available English language literature. The disease's rarity and its low-grade features make an accurate diagnosis difficult in most cases. The differential diagnoses of this unusual tumour include various benign entities as well as other sar...

BACKGROUND Malignant myoepithelioma is a relatively rare malignant tumor occurring most frequently in the salivary glands. A few isolated cases have been described in other locations, including soft tissue, bone, lung, bronchus, oral cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, and maxillary sinus. Malignant myoepithelioma, however, is uncommonly involved within the cavernous sinus. To the best of our knowledg...

HealthAgents is a multi-agent, distributed decision support system for brain tumor diagnosis. Knowledge needs to be shared amongst different agents in order to assist clinicians when making diagnosis / prognosis. Existing terminological standards led to the development of a vocabulary to facilitate interoperability. Querying expressivity requirements as well as the need for visual capabilities ...

conclusions patients treated with ptu should be closely monitored and followed up, even if the drug has been used for several years. when patients develop progressive dyspnea with alveolar opacities on chest imaging that cannot be explained otherwise, alveolar hemorrhage should be an important differential diagnosis while investigating the case. early diagnosis and prompt discontinuation of the...

Though most primary brain gliomas present as a single mass lesion in the brain, this potential diagnosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis when faced with a case of multifocal brain mass lesions. Among the most common brain tumors in humans, glioblastomas can be classified into four classes, one of which consists of anaplastic astrocytomas (AA). Due to its significant malignant p...
