Andy Sloas - Are we Masters of the Paediatric Airway?SMACC Conference
One of the many things that we, as intensivists or emergency physicians, do better than anyone in the business is obtain the emergent airway. We are usually introduced to our patients on the worst days of their lives and even though we may sometimes wish for it, we do not have the option to reschedule our intubations. Smashed, bloody, distorted, edematous airways secondary to trauma, anaphylaxis, and GI bleeds are the commonality not the exception. We manage those airways routinely with nary a complaint or even a hither for a better look at the glottis than what we can obtain. We often feel lucky to even get a glimpse of the arytenoids much less something that actually resembles normal laryngeal anatomy. Personally, if I knew that I would need to be intubated today, that my airway would be a bloody, edematous, traumatic mess and there was only chance for one person to take a shot at placing the tube, then I would pray to God that the last face I saw before the Roc and Ketamine pushed me asunder was the familiar grill of one of my EM/critical care colleagues. Who better to bet all my chips on then someone who deals with the most difficult airways on the face of the planet as part of their daily routine? The EM doc or critical care provider can not only get that airway, but is so relaxed about it that they will often casually check on the patient in the next bed before and after the intubation. That’s the confidence I’m looking for when it comes to the fast-paced life and death world of emergency airway. Now put a child’s life on the line. Are you ready to intubate what was a perfectly healthy three year old two hours before trauma threatened their life and placed their airway in your hands? You will be...

Hemifacial atrophy aka Parry-Romberg syndrome is an idiopathic neurodegenerative disease characterized by insidious onset and gradually progressive course of atrophy of one side of the face. Several causes were proposed for its pathogenesis but malformation of cerebral sympathetic nervous system disturbing the fat metabolism has been proposed as a primary cause. The relation between
Parry-Romberg Syndrome and localized scleroderma is debatable. Several associated conditions have been reported; alopecia and pigmentation of the involved skin, ocular disorders in 10- 35% of cases; neurologic disorders as focal epilepsy, headache and paroxysmal trigeminal neuralgia. The objective of this work is to discuss the general characteristics, etiology, physiopathology, differential diagnosis and treatment of progressive hemifacial atrophy through the presentation of a clinical case.
A Case Report of Sub Periosteal Abscess by Munish Kumar Saroch in Crimson Publishers: International Journal of Medical Sciences
Acute and chronic rhino sinusitis are amongst the most frequently encountered conditions by the otolaryngologist in dayto- day practice. These are usually easily manageable with proper and effective antibiotic therapy and decongestants. However, despite widely available appropriate antibiotics, the otolaryngologist often finds himself face-to-face with complications of sinusitis especially in the pediatric population. These may affect the soft tissues, bones, the orbit and even the brain with a possible fatal or functionally impairing outcome (visual loss) at times. Here we present a case of orbital complication secondary to frontoethmoidal sinusitis.
It is a planned professional conversation that enables the patient to communicate their symptoms , feeling and fear to the clinician, so that the nature of the patient’s real and suspected illness and mental attitudes may be determined.
Main stage presentation from the smart city conference Nordic Edge in Stavanger. On tech trends, ethical issues and how to build a more resilient way of handling the surveillance capitalism.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1

We have only just begun to
build a new era of computing
powered by cognitive systems
Transforming how organizations
think, act, and operate
Learning through interactions
Delivering evidence based
responses driving better outcomes
Editor's Notes
What is bringing about the need for a new era of computing. In large part it is because of the explosion of data. And not just the typical structured data we find in computer databases, but through voice, social media, and sensors throughout the world. Up to 80 percent of this data is projected to be unstructured data by 2015.As you can see, data is just beginning its rapid growth. We’re sill on the blade part of the hockey stick.
Main point: Data is growing at an astounding rate. It is growing so fast that we often lack the ability to use it to its full potential. The highly unstructured nature of this data makes the challenge that much more difficult. This is a real problem for business. It makes informed decisions more difficult to make. Business leaders need a way to find hidden patterns and isolate the valuable nuggets that they need to make business decisions.Further speaking points: Yet, the rewards for finding a way to harness the data into useful information are great; 54% of companies in this year’s study with MIT/Sloan are using analytics for competitive advantage… and that number has surged 57% in just the past 12 months. “Dying of thirst in an ocean of data”… It’s an apt analogy. Data is everywhere. 90% of it didn't exist just two years ago. The vast majority of it is totally useless for any given goal and therefore amounts to noise and a hindrance to finding the key useful information needed in a specific time and place. Additional information: See information and stats
As this chart shows, the issue with data isn’t just the volume of data. IT systems need to be able to deal with the speed of the data, the various forms of data and the growing awareness that much of our data is uncertain.On Jeopardy, Watson competed well across all of these attributes.Arvind Krishna will talk more about these aspects of big data tomorrow.
In order to know we are making progress on scientific problems like open-domain QA well-defined challenges help demonstrate we can solve concrete & difficult tasks. As you might know Jeopardy! Is a long-standing, well-regarded and highly challenging Television quiz show in the US that demands human contestants to quickly understand and answer richly expressed natural language questions over a staggering array of topics.The Jeopardy! Challenge uniquely provides a palpable, compelling and notable way to drive the technology of Question Answering along key dimensionsIf you are familiar with the quiz show it asks an I incredibly broad range of questions over a huge variety of topics.In a single round there is a grid of 6 Categories and for each category 5 rows with increasing $ values. Once a cell is chosen by 1 of three players, A question, or what is often called a Clue is revealed.Here you see some example questions.<read some of the questions> Jeopardy uses complex and often subtle language to describe what is being asked. To win you have to be extraordinarily precise. You must deliver the exact answer – no more and no less – it is not good enough for it be somewhere in the top 2, 10 or 20 documents – you must know it exactly and get it in first place – otherwise no credit – in fact you loose points. You must demonstrate Accurate Confidences -- That is -- you must know what you know – if you “buzz –in” and then get it wrong you lose the $$ value of the question. And you have to do this all very quickly – deeply analyze huge volumes of content, consider many possible answers, compute your confidence and buzz in – all in just seconds.As we shall see compete with human champions at this game represents a Grand Challenge in Automatic Open-Domain Question Answering.<STOP><NEXT SLIDE>
Main Point: At the core of what makes Watson different are three powerful technologies - natural language, hypothesis generation, and evidence based learning. But Watson is more than the sum of its individual parts. Watson is about bringing these capabilities together in a way that’s never been done before resulting in a fundamental change in the way businesses look at quickly solving problemsSolutions that learn with each iterationCapable of navigating human communicationDynamically evaluating hypothesis to questions askedResponses optimized based on relevant dataIngesting and analyzing Big DataDiscovering new patterns and insights in secondsFurther speaking points:. Looking at these one by one, understanding natural language and the way we speak breaks down the communication barrier that has stood in the way between people and their machines for so long. Hypothesis generation bypasses the historic deterministic way that computers function and recognizes that there are various probabilities of various outcomes rather than a single definitive ‘right’ response. And adaptation and learning helps Watson continuously improve in the same way that humans learn….it keeps track of which of its selections were selected by users and which responses got positive feedback thus improving future response generationAdditional information: The result is a machine that functions along side of us as an assistant rather than something we wrestle with to get an adequate outcome
Here we see the same question, the same parse, but on the other side we see that there exists a passage containing the RIGHT answer BUT with only one key word in common. <read the green passage> The system must consider in parallel and in detail a huge amount of content just to get a SHOT at this evidence and then must find and weigh the right inferences that will allow it to match and score with an accurate confidence, for example in this case <click> Date Math, Statistical Paraphrasing and Geospatial reasoning. And its still not 100% certain What if, for example, the passage said “considered landing in” rather than “landed in” or what if there was just a preponderance of weaker evidence for another answer. Question Answering Technology tries to understand what the user is really asking for and to deliver precise and correct responses. But Natural language is hard. Meaning can be expressed in so many different ways and to achieve high levels of precision and confidence you must consider much more information and analyze it much more deeply. We is needed is a radically different approach that explores many different plaussive interpretations in parallel and collects and evaluates all sorts of evidence in support or in refutation of those possibilities.
Main point: Healthcare is a great example of how these challenges come to life. Physicians can not keep up with the explosive growth of medical information which is doubling every five years. Reading journals is the primary way new medical information is delivered yet the vast majority of physicians don’t spend anywhere near enough time to keep up with it.. Meanwhile, diagnosis, treatments, and preventable deaths leave huge room for improvementFurther speaking points: Imagine you’re in a hospital waiting room with 9 others waiting to seen. Chances are, two of you are going to be misdiagnosed. Preventable medical errors kill 44K-98K Americans every year. That’s enough to fill a big college football stadium. Imagine what the total would be world wide. As Steven Shapiro, Chief medical and scientific officer at UPMC says “Medicine has become too complex (and only) about 20% of the knowledge clinicians use today is evidence based”. We just spoke about the gap between today’s IT needs and traditional IT. Surely, a new approach to IT can help address some of the healthcare difficulties described here. Additional information: statistics on right.
Main point: Watson is evolving to meet the unique challenges of Healthcare. But it already has the core capabilities to handle a variety of healthcare-specific needs. Further speaking points:. It understands natural language. While this is valuable in any industry, healthcare is especially qualitative and verbal in its operations and stands to benefit strongly from Watson’s conversational approachAnalyzes large volumes of unstructured data which is especially prevalent in medicine such as Physician Notes, Medical Journals, Clinical Trials, Pathology Results, Blogs, WikipediaGenerates and evaluates hypothesis and presents responses with confidence. Just like healthcare professionals already do. Unlike some other fields, medicine has always looked at diagnosis and treatment options as probabilistic rather than ever identifying Supports iterative dialogue to refine results so as more information is made available, different hypotheses gain and shrink in probabilistic likelihood. Learns from results over time. During Jeopardy! trials, Watson was trained iteratively so it could learn from its experience. Same thing in healthcare.
Main point: A great way to understand how Watson works is to through a simulation. In this case, we can see how an incoming patient is diagnosed with increasing precision as more information is made available. Further speaking points:. A woman describes her symptoms to her healthcare professional. It can handle alternate meanings, misspellings (i.e. –her voice is ‘horse’ rather than ‘hoarse”). Based on the symptoms alone, Watson considers five possible diagnosis and scores probabilities for each based on the evidence… in the case of present symptoms, influenza seems most likely.It then considers explicitly absent symptoms (no abdominal pain, no cough, no shortness of breath, etc.) and now considers diabetes the most probable diagnosis.It correlates the various symptoms and evaluates co-relationships between them. So based on the symptoms alone, a UTI is most likely with Diabetes close behind. A family history shows strong Diabetes likelihood… enough to outweigh the symptoms-driven UTI likelihood but not by much. Her patient history brings UTI back up above diabetes. Looking at medications she is using brings another hypothesis into the mix but does not alter the balance of the two most likely diagnoses. So tests are done for both. Tests confirm the presence of a UTI. Additional information: Note that the iterative process matches the process the physician would use in an unaided diagnosis. And the process extends beyond healthcare. You can think about this iterative process in other situations beyond healthcare.
