    Abstract English. We propose a system to extract entities and relations from a set of clinical records in Italian based on two preceding works Italiano. Proponiamo un sistema per estrarre entità e relazioni da un insieme di cartelle cliniche in Italiano basato su due precedenti lavori (Alicante et al., 2016b) e (Alicante et al., 2016a). Questo approccio non richiede dati annotati e si basa su risorse lessicali di dominio già esistenti e tecniche di apprendimento automatico senza supervisione

    We propose a system to extract entities and relations from a set of clinical records in Italian based on two preceding works (Alicante et al., 2016b) and (Alicante et al., 2016a). This approach does not require annotated data and is based on existing domain lexical resources and unsupervised machine learning techniques.Proponiamo un sistema per estrarre entità e relazioni da un insieme di cartelle cliniche in Italiano basato su due precedenti lavori (Alicante et al., 2016b) e (Alicante et al., 2016a).

    Extra-corporeal life support for near-fatal multi-drug intoxication: a case report

    Abstract Introduction Severe mixed β-blocker and calcium channel blocker intoxication presents a significant risk for patient mortality. Although treatment is well-established, it sporadically fails to support the patient through massive overdoses, thus requiring non-conventional treatments. We report the use of extra-corporeal life support in a patient with refractory hemodynamic impairment due to multi-drug intoxication. Although sometimes used in clinical practice, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation for intoxications has rarely been reported. Case presentation A 36-year-old Caucasian man presented to our hospital with refractory hypotension, severe cardiac insufficiency and multi-organ failure due to mixed intoxication with atenolol, nifedipine, Lacidipine and sertraline. Together with standard treatment, we performed extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation to overcome refractory cardiogenic shock and lead the patient to achieve a full recovery. Conclusion Standard of care for β-blocker and calcium channel blocker intoxication is well-defined and condensed into protocols of treatment. Although aimed at clearing the noxious agents from the patient's system, standard measures may fail to provide adequate hemodynamic support to allow recovery. In selected cases, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation could be considered a bridge to drug clearance while preventing multi-organ failure due to profound shock.</p

Together with standard treatment, we performed extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation to overcome refractory cardiogenic shock and lead the patient to achieve a full recovery. Conclusion: Standard of care for -blocker and calcium channel blocker intoxication is well-defined and condensed into protocols of treatment. Although aimed at clearing the noxious agents from the patient's system, standard measures may fail to provide adequate hemodynamic support to allow recovery.
