A Decision Support System for Diabetes Mellitus Management

Diabetes mellitus is considered as a dangerous chronic disease. Diagnosis is the first step in its management. Clinical decision support system (CDSS) for diabetes diagnosis improves its detection and decreases the opportunity for its complications.

However, its diagnosis is a theory-less problem. Case-based reasoning (CBR) is a problem-solving paradigm that uses past experiences to solve new problems.

Integration of CBR and formal ontologies enhances the intelligence of this paradigm. Utilizing patients’ electronic health records (EHRs) for building case-base knowledge solves the problem of knowledge acquisition bottleneck.

Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

We present a case of pheochromocytoma with fatal paroxysmal dyspnea hemoptysis and shock. A systematic review of literature on pheochromocytoma was performed to improve the understanding of the clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of a typical pheochromocytoma.

The clinical manifestation, diagnostic examination, operation mode and pathological characteristics of the typical pheochromocytoma, were analyzed and summarized. Simultaneously relevant literature was reviewed.

A 29-year-old male was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma with hemorrhagic cysts though without any typical clinical manifestation such as paroxysmal hypertension headache diaphoresis and palpitation.
