lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in world, and its poor prognosis varies markedly according to tumor staging. Computed tomography (CT) imaging modality choice for evaluation, being used diagnosis clinical Besides stage, other features, like histopathological subtype, can also add prognostic information. In this work, radiomics-based CT features were predict histopathology metastases using machine learning models.local image datasets confirmed primary malignant...
Importance: Owing to its anti-inflammatory properties and antiviral "in vitro" effect against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), cannabidiol (CBD) has been proposed as a potential treatment for disease 2019 (COVID-19).
We conducted a prospective cohort study in population with diverse ethnic backgrounds from Brazil to assess clinically meaningful symptoms after surviving coronavirus disease. For most of the 175 patients study, symptoms, including fatigue, dyspnea, cough, headache, and muscle weakness, persisted for >120 days disease onset.
COVID-19 has affected more than half a billion people worldwide, with 6.3 million deaths, but the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in lethal cases and host determinants that determine different clinical outcomes are still unclear. In this study, we assessed lung autopsies of 47 patients examined inflammatory profiles, viral loads, inflammasome activation. Additionally, correlated these factors patient’s histopathological conditions. Robust activation was detected lungs SARS-CoV-2....
<i>Objectives:</i> To measure olfactory bulbs and sulci using dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences specific measurement tools in Kallmann syndrome (KS) patients with a well-established genotype phenotype, as well correlate MRI findings clinical smell test. <i>Methods:</i> was performed 21 KS 16 healthy volunteers; dysfunction assessed the Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), qualitative suprathreshold olfaction Coronal turbo spin echo T2-weighted...
Background: Noninvasive diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) remains challenging, particularly with regard to evaluation extracranial arterial disease. Objectives: The objective the study was retrospectively review involvement in patients GCA and/or polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), evaluated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially 3-dimensional contrast-enhanced angiography images aortic arch and its branches. Methods: Clinical information, biopsy status, MRI examinations 28 GCA/PMR...
Objectives Quantitative multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as a potential biomarker is increasingly used for severity assessment of emphysema in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aim this study was to evaluate the user-independent measurement variability between five different fully-automatic densitometry software tools. Material and Methods MDCT full-body plethysmography incl. forced expiratory volume 1s total lung capacity were available 49 patients with advanced COPD...
Background: Cardiac tumors are extremely rare; however, when there is clinical suspicion, proper diagnostic evaluation necessary to plan the most appropriate treatment.In this context, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) plays an important role, allowing a comprehensive characterization of such lesions.Objective: To review cases referred CMRI Department for investigation cardiac and paracardiac masses.To describe positive case series with brief literature each type lesion role...
Abstract Objective: To explore the feasibility of two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences—high-resolution T2-weighted (HR T2) and Look-Locker T1 (LL T1) relaxometry—for investigation focal lung lesions (FLLs). As a secondary objective, we analyzed diagnostic accuracy these sequences. Materials Methods: This was prospective observational study involving 39 subjects with FLLs scanned in 1.5-T MRI system LL relaxometry HR T2 sequences focused on FLL region, addition to conventional...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has several advantages in the evaluation of cancer patients with thoracic lesions, including involvement chest wall, pleura, lungs, mediastinum, esophagus and heart. It is a quite useful tool diagnosis, staging, surgical planning, treatment response follow-up these patients. In present review, authors contextualize relevance MRI lesions Considering that widely available method high contrast spatial resolution without risks associated use ionizing radiation,...
Androgens have been reported to elongate telomeres in retrospective and prospective trials with patients telomeropathies, mainly bone marrow failure. In our single-arm clinical trial (clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT02055456), 17 short and/or germline pathogenic variants telomere biology genes associated at least one cytopenia radiologic diagnosis of interstitial lung disease were treated 5 mg/kg intramuscular nandrolone decanoate every 15 days for 2 years. Ten 13 evaluable (77%) showed...
