Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a useful imaging method for identifying COVID-19 pneumonia. The aim of this study was to explore the role LUS in predicting severity disease and fatality patients with COVID-19.This single-center, follow-up study, conducted from 1 November 2020, 22 March 2021. protocol based on assessment 14 lung zones total score up 42, which compared fatality.A 133 pneumonia confirmed by RT-PCR were enrolled, median time hospital admission one day. correlated clinical at...
COVID-19 prediction models mostly consist of combined clinical features, laboratory parameters, and, less often, chest X-ray (CXR) findings. Our main goal was to propose a model involving imaging methods, specifically ultrasound. This single-center, retrospective cohort observational study patients admitted the University Hospital Split from November 2020 May 2021. Imaging protocols were based on assessment 14 lung zones for both ultrasound (LUS) and computed tomography (CT), correlated CXR...
Background/Objectives: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially serious condition characterized by the blockage of blood vessels in lungs, often presenting significant diagnostic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms. This study aimed evaluate utility alveolar–arterial (A-a) oxygen gradient as tool for PE, hypothesizing that it could enhance early detection when combined with other clinical markers. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 168 patients at University Hospital Center Split....
Background: The need for computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) to rule out embolism (PE) is based on clinical scores in association with D-dimer measurements. PE a recognized complication patients SARS-CoV-2 infection due pro-thrombotic state which may reduce the usefulness of preexisting pre-test probability scores. Aim: purpose was analyze new and laboratory parameters while comparing existing newly proposed scoring system detection hospitalized COVID-19 (HCP). Methods: We...
The diaphragm is the most important muscle in respiration. Nevertheless, its function rarely evaluated. Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) could be at risk of diaphragmatic dysfunction because multiple factors. These patients often develop interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and earlier studies have indicated that different ILDs decreased mobility on ultrasound (US). This study aimed to evaluate SSc using US regard ILD, evaluated Warrick score high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT),...
<b>Introduction:</b> sarcoidosis is a systemic chronic non-caseous granulomatous inflammation, which can affect all organs, primarily located endothoracaly. It most common in the north Europe, specifically Scandinavian countries, and less south, Mediterranean. <b>Aims objectives:</b> to establish incidence of south Croatia with severity, course outcome disease. <b>Methods:</b> patients treated Clinic for pulmonary diseases, Split, from year 1986. 2015. <b>Results:</b> 318 were diagnosed...
