Time-Series Bert for Sepsis Detection: Uncovering Patient Trajectories Through Vital Sign Embeddings.

This study adapts BERT for vital sign time-series analysis in sepsis detection. Using MIMIC-III data, our model's embeddings reveal patient clusters that partition septic from non-septic cases while capturing physiological complexity through diagnosis count distributions. The BERT-based classifier achieves robust performance in both Precision-Recall Area Under Curve (PR AUC), measuring precision maintenance across recall thresholds, and Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under Curve (ROC AUC), quantifying septic/non-septic case discrimination.

Aches and Pains in a Patient With History of Prostatectomy: Extensive Skeletal Metastasis Picked up by Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

A 64-year-old gentleman presented to the out-patient with complaints of generalized body ache. He had a history of prostate cancer for which robotic radical prostatectomy (RP) was done earlier. The levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were significantly elevated.

Eucalyptus oil poisoning: two case reports.

Background: Eucalyptus oil poisoning is rare in adults but is not that uncommon in children. The common side effects in children include depression in the level of consciousness, ataxia, seizures, and vomiting. Unlike in children, seizures are unusual in adult patients with eucalyptus oil poisoning.
