Primary Epiploic Appendagitis: Not Rare But Rarely Diagnosed Pathology.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the clinical and laboratory parameters which may be suggestive of or even pathognomonic for primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA) and to discuss the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound (US) compared to computed tomography (CT) in patients with PEA.

Materials And Methods: For this retrospective study, 92 patients diagnosed with PEA using US, CT or both modalities were included. All patient symptoms, clinical findings and laboratory parameters were reviewed.

Primary Epiploic Appendagitis of the Appendix Vermiformis.

Introduction: Primary epiploic appendagitis, a relatively rare and self-limiting disease, often clinically mimics conditions of the acute abdomen such as acute appendicitis and acute diverticulitis. It is important to make accurate diagnoses because its treatment is conservative. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic studies enable a reliable diagnosis to prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.

Chest X-Ray Findings in COVID-19 Patients Presenting to Primary Care during the Peak of the First Wave of the Pandemic in Qatar: Their Association with Clinical and Laboratory Findings.

When managing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, radiological imaging complements clinical evaluation and laboratory parameters. We aimed to assess the sensitivity of chest radiography findings in detecting COVID-19, describe those findings, and assess the association of positive chest radiography findings with clinical and laboratory findings. A multicentre, cross-sectional study was conducted involving all primary health care corporation-registered patients (2485 patients) enrolled over a 1-month period during the peak of the 2020 pandemic wave in Qatar.
