Article Synopsis
- - The study followed 178 COVID-19 patients three months post-recovery, assessing cardiac and pulmonary health through various tests due to the systemic inflammation caused by the virus.
- - Key findings revealed that many patients still showed pulmonary issues such as ground-glass opacities, while cardiac factors like PVCs decreased, and some lab results showed significant improvement.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that even after recovery, patients experienced ongoing pulmonary changes and cardiac symptoms, highlighting the virus's lasting impact on multiple organ systems.
Background: Systemic sclerosis is a chronic disease of connective tissue accompanied by fibrosis of the skin and inner organs and an increased risk of foot ulcers. Biomechanical indices such as soft-tissue thickness and compressibility may correlate with the risk of this phenomenon.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess heel pad and first metatarsal head (MTH) soft-tissue thickness and compressibility index (CI) in scleroderma patients compared to matched healthy individuals.

Context: Pheochromocytoma is a rare disease but with high mortality if it is not being diagnosed early. Several biochemical tests with high accuracy have been obtained, but the clinical threshold for request of these tests is not determined clearly.
Objectives: To determine the Likelihood Ratios of clinical symptoms and signs in diagnosing pheochromocytoma.
Background: Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death. It has a poor prognosis with only 5-10% of hereditary etiology. If it is diagnosed, it could be helpful for screening the other susceptible members of a family for preventive procedures.
