How Do COVID-19 Inpatients in the Denver Metropolitan Area Measure Up?

Background: Inpatient data for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) afflicted inpatients remain sparse. Data are needed to create accurate projections for resource consumption as the pandemic continues. Published reports of inpatient data have come from China, Italy, Singapore, and both the East and West coasts of the United States.

A Case of a 34-Year-Old Female with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and Proximal Muscle Weakness.

Wound associated botulism is an unusual presentation. Early detection of this potentially life-threatening illness can significantly shorten length of hospital stay and improve prognosis. We present a case of a 34-year-old female with a history of heroin abuse who presented to the ED with acute respiratory failure, diplopia, and proximal muscle weakness.

Organizing pneumonia: prognostic implication of high-resolution computed tomography features.

Purpose: Most patients with biopsy-proven organizing pneumonia (OP) show complete resolution of radiographic lesions with treatment, but some patients do not respond to treatment and progress to pulmonary fibrosis. The authors investigated the prognostic implication of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) features in this condition.

Method: We reviewed the high-resolution CT findings of 26 patients diagnosed with OP by histopathology, who had radiographic follow-up for a median of 44 weeks after treatment.
