Introduction: The Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery created a registry for hospitalised patients with COVID-19 and the different types of respiratory support used (RECOVID). Objectives. To describe the profile of hospitalised patients with COVID-19, comorbidities, respiratory support treatments and setting.

- Patients who survived SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia still experienced significant symptoms and lung issues one year after hospitalization, according to data from the Spanish Registry RECOVID.
- Out of 1,874 patients studied, 42% had persistent symptoms, 27% showed ongoing radiological problems, and 31% displayed reduced lung function indicated by lower diffusing capacity.
- Factors like age, sex, and the need for respiratory support influenced the recovery outcomes, highlighting the ongoing health challenges faced by COVID-19 survivors even a year later.
Background: COPD is a multifactorial disease which causes considerable mortality and morbidity worldwide. Previous studies assessing the possible relationship between indoor radon exposure and COPD have shown inconclusive results.
Methods: A multicentric, hospital-based, case-control study was conducted in a Spanish radon-prone area.
It is not known whether residential radon exposure may be linked to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or have an influence on the functional characteristics or exacerbations of COPD. The aim of this study was therefore to ascertain whether there might be an association between residential radon concentrations and certain characteristics of COPD. We analyzed COPD cases drawn from a case-control study conducted in an area of high radon exposure.

Surgery, radiotherapy (RT), and chemotherapy have a role in the control of tumor growth, progression, and recurrence in high-grade gliomas. Temozolomide has been incorporated as the main chemotherapy agent for managing these tumors. Here, we present a case of a patient who developed a severe organizing pneumonia after increasing doses of temozolomide for a high-grade glioma.
