摘要： Background The use of clinical data in electronic health records for machine-learning or data analytics depends on the conversion of free text into machine-readable codes. We have examined the feasibility of capturing the neurological examination as machine-readable codes based on UMLS Metathesaurus concepts. Methods We created a target ontology for capturing the neurological examination using 1100 concepts from the UMLS Metathesaurus. We created a dataset of 2386 test-phrases based on 419 published neurological cases. We then mapped the test-phrases to the target ontology. Results We were able to map all of the 2386 test-phrases to 601 unique UMLS concepts. A neurological examination ontology with 1100 concepts has sufficient breadth and depth of coverage to encode all of the neurologic concepts derived from the 419 test cases. Using only pre-coordinated concepts, component ontologies of the UMLS, such as HPO, SNOMED CT, and OMIM, do not have adequate depth and breadth of coverage to encode the complexity of the neurological examination. Conclusion An ontology based on a subset of UMLS has sufficient breadth and depth of coverage to convert deficits from the neurological examination into machine-readable codes using pre-coordinated concepts. The use of a small subset of UMLS concepts for a neurological examination ontology offers the advantage of improved manageability as well as the opportunity to curate the hierarchy and subsumption relationships.

摘要： Objectives: Informal caregivers are vulnerable to poor mental health and quality of life (QoL). Self-compassion may protect against this. This study investigated depression and QoL in partner caregivers of people with a long-term or neurological condition (e.g. dementia or spinal cord injury) and explored the extent to which QoL and self-compassion are predictive of depression. Design: A cross-sectional, questionnaire design. Methods: Participants were recruited from charities and support groups. Partner caregivers (N = 57) completed assessments of depression, QoL, and self-compassion. Results: Over half (61.8%) of caregivers experienced at least mild symptoms of depression, illustrating high prevalence among caregivers compared with the general population. Overall QoL was poor compared with non-caregivers. QoL was poorest in the physical domain (M = 51.9, SD = 10.1) and highest in the environmental domain (M = 64.9, SD = 15.8). Both self-compassion and QoL were significant predictors of depression (p < 0.05), explaining 48.8% of the variance. Hours spent providing care was also significantly predictive of depression (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Self-compassion and QoL may be important targets for supportive interventions for this population. This study underscores the importance of developing supportive interventions for informal partner caregivers, and developing self-compassion in these.

摘要： Minor neurological dysfunction (MND) has been associated with learning, cognitive, and motor problems in preterm children. This study aims to study the prevalence of MND in preterm children without cerebral palsy in the preschool period and to investigate its association with school readiness. Forty-four children born at less than 37 weeks of gestation and 35 term children at a mean age of 5 years 6 months were included in the study. MND was classified according to Touwen. School readiness was assessed with the Marmara Primary School Readiness Scale. The prevalence of MND in preterm preschoolers was higher compared to their term-peers. Linear regression analyses showed that MND was the strongest predictor of school readiness in the preterm group. Preterm children, in the absence of CP, are at risk of MND and this is associated with school readiness. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on the follow-up, and an intervention should be prepared for preterm children with MND when they are starting school.

摘要： 近年来,随着神经病学及免疫学基础研究的深入及诊断方法的完善,神经免疫性疾病越来越受到研究人员的重视,其相关理论及治疗体系发展极为迅速。本文从多发性硬化、视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病、重症肌无力、格林-巴利综合征、髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白相关疾病等方面,简要回顾2019年国内外在神经免疫性疾病诊治方面所取得的成果。

摘要： For patients awake at hospital arrival, unconscious patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and patients with ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), 30-day survival was 89.0%, 39.0% and 1.2% respectively. For both unconscious patients and patients receiving CPR at admission, less than 20% end up with a bad outcome. Extracorporeal CPR (eCPR) has been shown to improve survival for shock-resistant cardiac arrest,[6] but it is very resource-consumptive and suitable only for very selected patients.[[7]].

摘要： 在线发表在《美国医学会杂志·神经病学》(JAMA Neurology)上的(2019-07-15)一项新的研究表明,肥胖儿童患多发性硬化症的可能性是一般儿童的两倍。一旦确诊为多发性硬化症,肥胖儿童的初始治疗反应往往比普通体质量儿童更差。
