HuriSearch - the Open Source human rights search engine

HuriSearch - the Open Source human rights search engine

HURIDOCS is glad to announce the launch of a new, Open Source version of HuriSearch, its specialised search engine for human rights information.

HuriSearch is a very useful resource for human rights researchers and advocates, academic staff and students, journalists, diplomats and staff of international organisations - in fact anyone who is interested in human rights and needs an effective Internet search tool.

HuriSearch searches the content of over 5000 human rights websites, with a total of almost 7 million pages. This content is always fresh, because HuriSearch indexes the content of these websites very frequently.

The source of information is crucially important in human rights work. HuriSearch makes it possible to focus searches on information published in a particular country, by a particular type of organisation, by a specific organisation, or in a specific language.

Search results are based upon relevance of contents rather than website popularity - which makes the pages from smaller organisations more visible than on other search engines.

Paget-Schroetter

A 47-year-old woman with no medical history presented with swelling, pain, and reddish discoloration of the right arm and hand after strenuous effort. Findings on ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were normal. The patient's symptoms persisted. One week after presentation, she underwent ultrasonography with a microconvex probe that allowed better visualization beneath the clavicle. This test revealed a subtotal occlusion in the subclavian vein close to the clavicle, caused by a small thrombus fixed on a venous valve (video). Blood-clot formation in the deep veins of the arms is known as the Paget–Schroetter syndrome. This rare condition often occurs in young, healthy patients. Small thrombotic segments causing clinically significant vaso-occlusion can be easily missed with standard diagnostic procedures, particularly if thrombi are located immediately beneath the clavicle. The patient was treated with oral anticoagulation. One month after the initiation of anticoagulation, she no longer had swelling and discoloration of the right arm and hand at rest, although the symptoms reappeared with strenuous use of the arm. At the 2-month follow-up, her symptoms and thrombosis had fully resolved.
