Enormous datasets are now available describing patient behaviors, signs and symptoms of diseases, human– derived information, insurance claims data and pharmacy refill records, providers notes, and imaging. Regular database management systems we have seen in the past are not able to handle these huge datasets. To manage the substantial amounts of data collected about any one given patient, providers have begun to utilize Big Data Analytics as the primary method for handling this copious amount of data.1 Table 1 shows the characteristics of big data in the healthcare area. Data is collected not only from the EMR, but also frequently the patient uses sensors, social media, and smartphones to generate data. For the healthcare provider, it can be overwhelming to mine the data for any specific piece of information that may be critical to the patient’s care. Big Data however, can handle voluminous amounts of heterogenous data; structured, semi–structured, and unstructured. Much of healthcare data is now either unstructured such as medical notes, nursing notes, or other provider–written information, or semi– structured data. A report delivered to the U.S. Congress in August 2012 defines big data as “a term that describes large volumes of high velocity, complex, and variable data that require advanced techniques and technologies to enable the capture, storage, distribution, management, and analysis of the information”.2","PeriodicalId":410359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Medicine and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126508787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their future depends on their offspring. Family plays an important role in the experiences of the infertile couple. Children are not only sources of economic support, especially for the woman, but inheritor of all the possession, titles, propagation of family lineage and what most people have spent their entire lives to achieve. It is acknowledged that in most resource poor countries, notwithstanding overpopulation, involuntary childlessness is a significant social and economic burden that deserves attention. Certain Africa adages, such as “omo l’asho” (one’s child is one’s cloth, indicating a woman without a child is naked), “omo l’ere aiye” (one’s child is one’s life’s sole profit), and “eni omo sin lo bi’mo” (one who is buried by her child or children is one who actually gave birth), reflect value of fertility and why involuntary infertility is an anathema in most African societies. Furthermore, some African communities never refer to a married woman by her name but by the name of her first child such as “Iya Joshua” meaning Joshua’s mother or “Iya Ibeji” meaning the mother of twins. Specifically, children often refer to their mother as “Maami” or “Mami” meaning my mother. In Yoruba ethnic group, it is often said that “Iya ni wura”, that is mother or motherhood is gold. Even in day–to–day pleasantries between adults, the first statement is never about material possession, but “how are your children?”","PeriodicalId":410359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Medicine and Research","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121641092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods and Materials: 225 consecutive patients with biliary obstruction managed by PTBD were included. All cases were performed by four consultant interventional radiologist between January 2014 and March 2016. Demografic data, patients history, the radiological data base, laboratory test from and following intervention, procedural records, clinical and imaging follow-up were reviewed. Pre procedure imaging with abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography was performed in all patients. Complications were grouped into immediate (occurring <24 hours) early ( 24 hours to 30 days) and late (>30 days). 30-day mortality was calculated. Results: In total there were 111 male (49,3%) and 114 female (51,7 %). The mean age was 61,5 years and ranged from 88-27 years. The approach for PTBD was left sided in 21 cases (9,3%), and right sided in 204 cases (90,7%). There were 6 (<3%) technical failures giving a technical success rate of (97,3 %). These included 2 cases of bleeding and 4 cases were we were unable to cross the obstruction.

It is characterized by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in the absence of brain parenchymal lesion, vascular malformations, hydrocephalus, or central nervous system (CNS) infection. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by a high opening pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with exclusion of secondary causes of intracranial hypertension. Objectives: The purpose of this review is to summarize relevant articles on the diagnostic tools used in evaluation and management of pediatric IIH. A summary of demographics, clinical presentation, diagnosis, neuroimaging, as well as existing evidence of treatment strategies is presented. Method: We conducted a bibliographic search in PubMed using the terms idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), Pseudotumor Cerebri syndrome (PTCS). The review of the literature revealed a lack of published consistent data on the diagnosis criteria and management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in children. Conclusion: This article provides a review of IIH in children and revised diagnostic criteria based on recent evidence and published opinion. Relative to the adult population, the demographic features and clinical presentation of IIH as well as the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for children are quite different. This review highlights the importance of early recognition and management of IIH to prevent permanent visual loss.","PeriodicalId":410359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Medicine and Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121723011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
