Background Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that can occur sporadically (S-LAM) or associated with the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC-LAM). The natural history of LAM not completely understood, including whether there difference between clinical courses two forms. This study aimed to compare clinical, functional and tomographic features S-LAM TSC-LAM, evaluate annual rates change in lung function. Methods retrospective cohort included patients followed up 1994 2019....
Semi-automated lobar segmentation tools enable an anatomical assessment of regional pulmonary perfusion with Dual-Energy CTA (DE-CTA). We aimed to quantify DE-CTA, analyze the distribution among lobes in subjects without cardiopulmonary diseases and assess correlation between endoluminal clots patients acute embolism (PE). evaluated 151 consecutive suspected PE comorbidities. DE-CTA derived perfused blood volume (PBV) each lobe was measured applying a semi-automated technique. In PE, clot...
Objetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco epidemiológicos, tomográficos, clínicos e laboratorias preditores mortalidade em pacientes internados por COVID-19 um hospital privado Florianópolis. Descritores: COVID-19. Fatores Risco. Unidade Terapia Intensiva. Mortalidade. Métodos: Trata-se estudo Coorte Retrospectivo. Foi realizado a partir dos atendidos COVID-19, no Baía Sul, Março dezembro 2020. Resultados: No total, foram 332 incluídos estudo; desses 223 (67%) eram do sexo masculino. A média...
Cryptococcal infection results from inhalation of fungal spores and usually is confined to the lungs, but may disseminate systemically. Radiologically, cryptococcal has multiple forms presentation. The diagnosis based on isolation cultured clinical specimens. Long term antifungal therapy recommended, surgical procedures eventually be necessary when large thoracic symptomatic masses are present. We report a case 41-year-old male, immunocompetent, investigating palpable mass in left...
Context: Bronchial fibroepithelial polyp is a very rare benign endobronchial tumor. Typically, it slow growing lesion, and the differential diagnosis includes other malignant tumors. Case Report: We report case of 75-year-old female who complained intermittent productive cough. Computed tomography thorax showed solid nodule with lobulated contours in right main bronchus subtotal atelectasis lower lobe. Bronchoscopy biopsy confirmed bronchial polyp. Conclusion: This illustrative demonstrates...
The majority of patients who require medical intervention for lymphangioleiomyomatosis have the sporadic form disease (S-LAM). Some data suggested that TSC associated LAM could be a milder compared to S-LAM. Systematic screening using chest CT scan in patients, lead pre-clinic identification LAM. To investigate whether different behaviour is real or due overdiagnosis screened women, we natural history S-LAM and TSC-LAM with incidental diagnosis. A retrospective study involving outpatients...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory and heterogeneous disease that affects several systems, especially the joints. Among extra-articular manifestations of RA, pleuropulmonary involvement occurs frequently, with different presentations, potentially in all anatomic thoracic compartments, may determine high morbidity mortality. The most common patients RA include interstitial lung (ILD), pleural disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, rheumatoid nodules, airway...
To describe cases of parafoveal chondral lesion the femoral head in patients with femoroacetabular impingement, correlating clinical and imaging data.This was a retrospective descriptive case series 21 who underwent computed tomography magnetic resonance arthrography scans hip, having then received an imaging-based diagnosis impingement.Of evaluated, 15 (71%) had cam-type whereas five (24%) mixed-type one (5%) pincer-type impingement. Twelve (57%) low frequency physical activity, which...
