Abstract:
Patient case analysis is an elementary and crucial process which clinicians are daily confronted with. The importance and complexity is reflected in the need to discuss cases in clinicopathological conferences and the documentation of more than 70,000 patient cases in MEDLINE. This paper introduces a generic patient case report language (PCRL) based on general medical temporal concepts to formalise temporal knowledge as present in case descriptions. The lack of such a generic technique is reflected by the fact that computers are very restrictive in accepting patient specific temporal information. Acceptance is almost always controlled and guided by specific predefined disease or treatment models. We strive for a case library consisting of unambiguous patient case descriptions formulated independent from future use.

Long-Term Memory
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...
Explicit Memories
Episodic memory contains information about personally experienced events and is reported as a story. An example of episodic memory is recalling a birthday celebration. This type of memory includes the what, where, and when of an event, as...
