Ischemic colitis is the most common subtype of intestinal ischemia usually resulting from vasospasm, vessel occlusion or mesenteric hypoperfusion. Neuroleptics have seldom been linked to ischemic colitis by blocking peripheral anticholinergic and antiserotonergic receptors inducing severe gastrointestinal paresis. We report a young patient with severe ischemic colitis requiring surgery due to necrosis of the bowel. After exclusion of other potential causes, olanzapine was admitted as the cause of ischemia. Clinicians should be aware of how to recognize and treat the potentially life-threatening effects of neuroleptics.
Recipe sharing websites have become very popular in the past years, allowing individuals to use such systems in an attempt to find a desired recipe. But sometimes finding recipes which best fit the user's wishes, while still satisfying his food restrictions, may become a very time consuming and difficult task. In this work, we propose a recipe multi-label classification approach as part of a recipe recommendation system for people with food restrictions, in an attempt to automatically identify whether an input recipe or list of ingredients fits into one or more food restrictions, satisfying both user's expectations and needs. The experimental evaluation includes two approaches for feature selection, as a manner to reduce the computational costs for the proposed system.
Aseptic liver abscesses preceding the diagnosis of Crohn's disease are extremely rare. We report a patient with multiple liver abscesses that yielded negative microbiologic investigation and failed to develop full remission under antibiotic therapy. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease of small and large bowel was later established and she was started on sulfasalazine and azathioprine with total regression of the hepatic abscesses. This case illustrates the rare possibility of aseptic liver abscesses as an initial manifestation of Crohn's disease, which could be interpreted in the light of recent data on aberrant homing of gut T memory/effector lymphocytes in the liver.
Atualmente, mesmo com o aumento no número de páginas web e sistemas de compartilhamento de receitas, usuários podem ter dificuldade na busca por pratos específicos através da enorme quantidade de dados contidas nesses repositórios. Encontrar receitas que se adequem a um conjunto de ingredintes em mãos, contemplando as vontades e restrições desses usuários, pode ser uma tarefa demorada ou mesmo impossível. Neste trabalho, um sistema de recomendação e geração de receitas é proposto, baseado na substituição de ingredientes das receitas e em uma abordagem focada nos dados, em uma tentativa de ajudar os usuários a encontrarem receitas que contemplem tanto seus desejos, quanto suas restrições alimentares, evitando desperdícios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
