CT imaging of pulmonary embolism in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia: a retrospective analysis.

Objectives: To describe imaging and laboratory findings of confirmed PE diagnosed in COVID-19 patients and to evaluate the characteristics of COVID-19 patients with clinical PE suspicion. Characteristics of patients with COVID-19 and PE suspicion who required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) were also analysed.

Methods: A retrospective study from March 18, 2020, until April 11, 2020.

Vitamin D levels in Mediterranean breast cancer patients compared with those in healthy women.

Objectives: To evaluate the vitamin D status of postmenopausal women with early estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer and to compare it with that of healthy postmenopausal women from the same Mediterranean region.

Study Design And Outcome Measures: Data from 691 breast cancer (BC) patients in the B-ABLE cohort were analyzed after recent cancer intervention (recent-BC) or after a minimum of two years since this intervention (long-term-BC). Patients were also stratified by previous chemotherapy exposure (ChT+ and ChT-).

Bone health evaluation one year after aromatase inhibitors completion.

However, there is little information about bone mineral density (BMD) after completing AI-treatment. The present study aimed to assess BMD changes one year after AI-therapy completion.
