Wound infection is a serious health care complication. Standardized clinical terminologies could be leveraged to support the early identification of wound infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the representation of wound infection assessment and diagnosis concepts (N=26) in SNOMED CT and ICNP, using a synthesized procedural framework. A total of 13/26 (50%) assessment and diagnosis concepts had exact matches in SNOMED CT and 2/7 (29%) diagnosis concepts had exact matches in ICNP. This study demonstrated that the source concepts were moderately well represented in SNOMED CT and ICNP; however, further work is necessary to increase the representation of diagnostic infection types. The use of the framework facilitated a systematic, transparent, and repeatable mapping process, with opportunity to extend.

Acute aortic dissection is a serious cardiovascular event and the most common acute disease of the great vessels. According to the anatomical distribution of the compromised aorta, the Stanford Group classifies it into type A and type B. Its prognosis depends on its early identification and treatment, as the mortality rate in type A increases rapidly with each hour of delay of diagnosis.Clinical manifestations of aortic dissection may be varied, which makes its early diagnosis difficult. Regarding its diagnosis, genital pain is one of the rarest symptoms. In this paper, the case of a patient who initially attended a health care institution due to acute bilateral testicular pain and was eventually diagnosed with acute aortic dissection is presented.
