  • predictive data mining in Clinical Medicine current issues and guidelines
    International Journal of Medical Informatics, 2008
    Co-Authors: Riccardo Bellazzi, Blaz Zupan
    Abstract:

    Background: The widespread availability of new computational methods and tools for data analysis and predictive modeling requires medical informatics researchers and practitioners to systematically select the most appropriate strategy to cope with Clinical prediction problems. In particular, the collection of methods known as ‘data mining’ offers methodological and technical solutions to deal with the analysis of medical data and construction of prediction models. A large variety of these methods requires general and simple guidelines that may help practitioners in the appropriate selection of data mining tools, construction and validation of predictive models, along with the dissemination of predictive models within Clinical environments. Purpose: The goal of this review is to discuss the extent and role of the research area of predictive data mining and to propose a framework to cope with the problems of constructing, assessing and exploiting data mining models in Clinical Medicine. Methods: We review the recent relevant work published in the area of predictive data mining in Clinical Medicine, highlighting critical issues and summarizing the approaches in a set of learned lessons. Results: The paper provides a comprehensive review of the state of the art of predictive data mining in Clinical Medicine and gives guidelines to carry out data mining studies in this

  • images in Clinical Medicine black hairy tongue
    The New England Journal of Medicine, 1997
    Co-Authors: Catherine Newman, Richard F Wagner
    Abstract:

    Figure 1. A 66-year-old man who was edentulous and did not wear dentures reported having a yellow tongue. He ate only liquefied foods, his oral hygiene consisted of mouthwashing, and he had not taken oral antibiotics recently. Black hairy tongue was diagnosed. In this disorder, the filiform papillae on the dorsum of the tongue are hyperplastic and dark black. The pigmentation may be the result of trapped chromogenic bacteria, food, coffee, or tobacco.

  • images in Clinical Medicine black hairy tongue
    The New England Journal of Medicine, 2006
    Co-Authors: Andreas Korber, Joachim Dissemond
    Abstract:

    An 85-year-old male cigar smoker with no notable medical history presented with black discoloration and hairy appearance of the tongue, which had lasted for several years. He said he did not use bismuth-containing compounds. Black hairy tongue, also known as lingua villosa nigra, is a painless, benign disorder caused by defective desquamation and reactive hypertrophy of the filiform papillae of the tongue. It is characterized Clinically by an abnormal brownish-black coating of the dorsal surface of the tongue. The exact pathogenesis is unclear. A number of relevant etiologic factors have been assumed, including the use of topical or systemic antibiotics . . .

    The New England Journal of Medicine, 2011
    Co-Authors: Bobby S Korn, Kang Zhang
    Abstract:

    A 55-year-old woman with a long history of hypertension presented to the hospital with a 1-day history of periorbital discomfort, inferior chemosis, and conjunctival injection of the left eye (Panel A). She reported having a 2-year history of episodic headache and pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear. Examination of the left eye revealed a visual acuity of 20/60, a relative afferent pupillary defect, exophthalmos (with 6 mm of protrusion), and an elevated intraocular pressure (48 mm Hg). Examination of the right eye was unremarkable. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the orbit showed a dilated left superior ophthalmic vein (Panel B, arrow), . . .
