Lessons from the pandemic and the value of a structured system of ultrasonographic findings in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pulmonary manifestations.
Einstein (Sao Paulo)
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study implemented a structured lung ultrasound system using the COVID-RADS standard to assess COVID-19 cases, correlating ultrasound findings with disease severity and ventilatory needs.
- - Analysis of 69 ultrasound exams showed certain patterns in lung involvement, with higher COVID-RADS scores linked to the need for increased oxygen support.
- - The research highlights the utility of lung ultrasound as an accessible diagnostic tool during the pandemic, proposing a replicable system for future clinical use beyond COVID-19.
Carotid intima-media thickness and metabolic syndrome in a rural population: Results from the Baependi Heart Study.
Int J Cardiol Hypertens
September 2020
Background And Aims: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors, but the association structure between specific factors and disease development is not well-established in rural populations. We described the association structure between MetS factors and cIMT in a sample from rural Brazil.

Methods: This was a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, which included studies retrieved from four databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and LILACS), using a combination of the terms (Hernia, Ventral) and (Laparoscopy) and (Laparotomy).
Results: Six randomized trials were included, totaling 566 patients, 283 in the Laparoscopy group and 283 in the Laparotomy group.
