Results from both CCNN and expert features are combined using the stacking technique as the final classification result. The method has been validated against the first China ECG Intelligence Challenge, obtaining a final score of 86.5% for classifying 12‑lead ECG data with multiple labels into 9 categories.We present a case of a patient who suffered subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), complicated by takotsubo syndrome, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and ECG repolarisation abnormality, compatible with Brugada phenocopy. The early repolarisation morphology showed a paradox association with the cardiac cycle length; a relationship not yet documented in SAH. Our observation also sheds light on the genesis of the "spiked helmet" ECG sign.Though infections account for a significant proportion of patients with ocular motor palsies, there is surprising paucity of literature on infectious ophthalmoplegias. Almost all types of infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) can lead to ocular motor palsies. The causative infectious agent can be diagnosed in most cases using an orderly stepwise approach. In this review we discuss how to approach a patient with ophthalmoplegia with main focus on infectious etiologies. Parkinson's Disease-related Psychosis (PDP) encompasses a spectrum of symptoms ranging from "minor" hallucinations to formed hallucinations and delusions. Notably, cognitive impairment has been recognized as the strongest risk factor for PDP. Several evidences suggest a possible role of cigarette smoking in both cognition and psychotic syndromes. To evaluate the possible independent association between cigarette smoking and PDP in a large cohort of non-demented PD patients. A cohort of non-demented PD patients was selected from the FRAGAMP study population. All participants underwent a standardised structured questionnaire to assess demographic, clinical and environmental exposure data. Clinical features were assessed using UPDRS, HY stage, AIMS, MMSE and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. Presence of psychotic symptoms was assessed using UPDRS-I.2 score. Diagnosis of PDP was made according to NINDS/NIMH criteria. Four hundred eighty-five non-demented PD patients were enrolled [292 men (60.2%); mean age±SD 65.6±9.8]. Among them, 28 (5.8%) had PDP. Multivariate analysis, adjusting by HY stage, MMSE and LED, shown an independent association between PDP and "nightmares-abnormal movements during sleep" and current smoking [adjOR 7.39 (95%CI 1.45-37.69; P-value 0.016)]. Our findings provide interesting insights about the possible role of current smoking in facilitating the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in PD. Our findings provide interesting insights about the possible role of current smoking in facilitating the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in PD.Background Recognizing the post-stroke fracture risk factors is crucial for targeted intervention and primary fracture prevention. We aimed to investigate whether stroke types, stroke severity, and pre-stroke osteoporosis are associated with post-stroke fracture. Methods In a nationwide cohort, we identified previously fracture-free patients who suffered from first-ever stroke, either acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), between 2003 and 2015. Information regarding stroke severity, osteoporosis, comorbidity, and medication information was collected. The outcomes analyzed included hip fracture, spine fracture, and other fractures. Cumulative incidence functions (CIFs) were used to estimate the cumulative incidence of fractures over time after accounting for competing risk of death. Multivariable Fine and Gray models were used to determine the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Of the 41,895 patients with stroke, the 5-year CIFs of any incident fracture, hip fracture, spine fracture, and other fractures were 8.03%, 3.42%, 1.87%, and 3.05%, respectively.
