Candida myocarditis without valvulitis

Thirty-one patients with systemic candidiasis at postmortem examination were found to have Candida involvement of the myocardium without valvulitis. Retrospective examination of their clinical course demonstrated that a new conduction disturbance was seen in 10, supraventricular arrhythmias in 5, QRS changes mimicking myocardial infarction in 3, and pronounced T wave changes in 13. Hypotension or shock was seen in 13 patients and could not be explained by coexistent bacteremia or blood loss in 8. One patient died suddenly. Of 19 patients with systemic candidiasis without myocardial invasion, 4 had minor T wave changes and one had a supraventricular arrhythmia. Candida invasion of the heart significantly complicates the clinical course in systemic candidiasis and should be suspected when a young person without preexistent heart disease has cultures positive for a Candida organism, a significant arrhythmia, conduction disturbance or other dramatic QRS change. The effect of therapy on Candida invasion of the heart is unknown.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21634/1/0000015.pd

The questions we ask: Opportunities and challenges for using big data analytics to strategically manage human capital resources.

Big data analytics have transformed research in many fields, including the business areas of marketing, accounting and finance, and supply chain management. Yet, the discussion surrounding big data analytics in human resource management has primarily focused on job candidate screenings. In this article, we consider how significant strategic human capital questions can be addressed with big data analytics, enabling HR to enhance overall firm performance. We also examine how new data sources that help assess workforce performance in real time can assist in the identification and development of the knowledge stars that contribute to firm performance disproportionately as well as help reinforce firm capabilities. But in order for big data analytics to be successful in the HR field, regulatory and ethical challenges must also be addressed; these include privacy concerns and, in Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We conclude by discussing how big data analytics can facilitate strategic change within HR and the organization as a whole
