Article Synopsis
- Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an effective and convenient imaging tool for assessing COVID-19 pneumonia, allowing for bedside evaluation and ongoing monitoring of patients.
- A study of 96 hospitalized patients revealed that LUS patterns, such as B-lines and consolidations, are linked to disease severity and stage, particularly worsening during the intermediate period of illness (day 7 to 13 post-symptom onset).
- Results indicate that LUS can help differentiate between localized disease (consolidations) and generalized illness (B-lines), providing valuable insights into the patient's condition and related complications.
Thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine neoplasm in the general population. Its incidence is 5-10/100,000 per year, with an annual death rate of 0.2-1.

By definition, the patients spontaneously maintain hemoglobin at or above 7 g/dL, sometimes at the price of intense hyperplasia of the bone marrow that is in turn responsible for bone deformities, osteoporosis, and extramedullary erythropoietic masses that often characterize thalassemia intermedia. Transfusion may become necessary with advancing age, during infection and pregnancy, and when hypersplenism develops.
