CandidaDB: a genome database for Candida albicans pathogenomics.

CandidaDB is a database dedicated to the genome of the most prevalent systemic fungal pathogen of humans, Candida albicans. CandidaDB is based on an annotation of the Stanford Genome Technology Center C.albicans genome sequence data by the European Galar Fungail Consortium. CandidaDB Release 2.0 (June 2004) contains information pertaining to Assembly 19 of the genome of C.albicans strain SC5314. The current release contains 6244 annotated entries corresponding to 130 tRNA genes and 5917 protein-coding genes. For these, it provides tentative functional assignments along with numerous pre-run analyses that can assist the researcher in the evaluation of gene function for the purpose of specific or large-scale analysis. CandidaDB is based on GenoList, a generic relational data schema and a World Wide Web interface that has been adapted to the handling of eukaryotic genomes. The interface allows users to browse easily through genome data and retrieve information. CandidaDB also provides more elaborate tools, such as pattern searching, that are tightly connected to the overall browsing system. As the C.albicans genome is diploid and still incompletely assembled, CandidaDB provides tools to browse the genome by individual supercontigs and to examine information about allelic sequences obtained from complementary contigs. CandidaDB is accessible at http://genolist.pasteur.fr/CandidaDB.

Venous covered stent: successful occlusion of a symptomatic internal iliac arteriovenous fistula.

We report the placement of a covered stent within the internal iliac vein (IIV) to occlude a symptomatic iatrogenic internal iliac arteriovenous fistula following an abdominal aortic graft. Angiography revealed a direct communication between an internal iliac graft to artery anastomosis and the right IIV with rapid shunting into the inferior vena cava and a small associated pseudoaneurysm. Femoral, brachial or axillary arterial access was precluded. The fistula was successfully occluded by a stent-graft placed in the IIV. Arteriovenous fistula can be treated in a number of ways including covered stent placement on the arterial side. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time placement in a vein has been described. Where access is difficult or the procedure carries a high risk of complication, a venous covered stent may offer an alternative.

Patient documentation. On the records.

Documentation of patient care is frequently the Achilles heel of clinical services. The use of a multidisciplinary, semi-structured healthcare record may achieve improvements, but it needs to be coupled with appropriate strategies to overcome professional and cultural barriers to unified documentation. When implementing changes, clinical staff may overestimate their clinical information needs while underestimating the problems of its routine collection.

[Ectopic spleen syndrome].

2 women with ectopic spleen are described. Because of the broad spectrum of clinical presentations, a high index of suspicion is needed to reach a correct diagnosis before the appearance of complications, which may be fatal. Diagnosis is usually possible by noninvasive means. Because of the high incidence of complications, splenectomy is recommended, even in asymptomatic cases.
