Unlabelled: Alveolar-pleural fistulas (APF) are a clinical entity that represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
Objective: The objective of this work is to design a diagnostic algorithm for the anatomical detection of APF in patients who are not candidates for surgical treatment.
Method: Prospective non-randomized study of 47 patients.
Is the long-term mortality similar in COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia?
Front Med (Lausanne)
October 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term mortality rates associated with COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in patients who were hospitalized and later discharged.
- It utilizes a retrospective analysis of two cohorts, applying Bayesian logistic regression to control for confounding factors while assessing mortality outcomes after one year.
- Findings suggest that both types of pneumonia have comparable long-term mortality rates, with no significant difference after adjustments, indicating a low probability of distinguishing between them based on mortality risk.
Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a systemic disease characterized by a disproportionate inflammatory response in the acute phase. This study sought to identify clinical sequelae and their potential mechanism.
Methods: We conducted a prospective single-center study (NCT04689490) of previously hospitalized COVID-19 patients with and without dyspnea during mid-term follow-up.
Bronchoscopist's perception of the quality of the single-use bronchoscope (Ambu aScope4™) in selected bronchoscopies: a multicenter study in 21 Spanish pulmonology services.

December 2020
Background: The disposable bronchoscope is an excellent alternative to face the problem of SARS-CoV-2 and other cross infections, but the bronchoscopist's perception of its quality has not been evaluated.
Methods: To evaluate the quality of the Ambu-aScope4 disposable bronchoscope, we carried out a cross-sectional study in 21 Spanish pulmonology services. We use a standardized questionnaire completed by the bronchoscopists at the end of each bronchoscopy.

An 83-year-old male who was a former smoker had pain on the left forearm accompanied with progressive swallowing in the last four to five months. Imaging studies revealed a cystic necrotic mass on the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle (biopsy: striated muscle tissue infiltrated by an adenocarcinoma). A whole-body computerized tomography (CT) scan demonstrates the presence of two lung masses that were suspicious of malignancy.
