Disseminated tuberculosis and diagnosis delay during the COVID-19 era in a Western European country: a case series analysis.

Background: Disseminated tuberculosis is frequently associated with delayed diagnosis and a poorer prognosis.

Objectives: To describe case series of disseminated TB and diagnosis delay in a low TB burden country during the COVID-19 period.

Methodology: We consecutively included all patients with of disseminated TB reported from 2019 to 2021 in the reference hospital of the Northern Crown of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in PNPLA3, ADAR-1 and IFIH1 are associated with advanced liver fibrosis in patients co-infected with HIV-1//hepatitis C virus.

Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance and liver fibrosis are prevalent in individuals co-infected with HIV type 1 (HIV-1)/hepatitis C virus (HCV), even after HCV eradication. Our aim was to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with advanced liver fibrosis in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients.

Design/methods: In a cohort of 102 participants, we genotyped 16 SNPs in 10 genes previously associated with NAFLD and the innate immune response and correlated the genotypes with liver fibrosis and fat accumulation.

Modelling the dynamics of tuberculosis lesions in a virtual lung: Role of the bronchial tree in endogenous reinfection.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that still causes more than 1.5 million deaths annually. The World Health Organization estimates that around 30% of the world's population is latently infected.

Association Between Visceral Abdominal Fat Accumulation and Severity of Liver Fibrosis in Nondiabetic Individuals Coinfected by Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis C Virus.

Our primary objective was to assess the independent association between liver fibrosis (LF) and abdominal fat accumulation (AFA) and fatty liver disease (FLD). We also aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of AFA and FLD for the prediction of cirrhosis measured using unenhanced low-dose computed tomography (CT). This is a cross-sectional study in stable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV)-coinfected patients with active HCV replication.

Optimal Use of Transient Elastography and Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse to Stage Liver Fibrosis in HIV/HCV-Coinfected Patients in Clinical Practice.

Objectives: Liver fibrosis (LF) is crucial for the individualized management of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV). We evaluated the concordance between two noninvasive methods for staging LF, transient elastography (TE) and acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus and HCV. We propose an algorithm for optimal use of both techniques in routine clinical practice.

Acute pulmonary embolism detection with ventilation/perfusion SPECT combined with full dose CT: What is the best option?

Aim: To compare diagnostic accuracy of Ventilation/Perfusion (V/P) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) combined with simultaneous full-dose CT with a hybrid SPECT/CT scanner versus planar ventilation/perfusion (V/P) SPECT and CT angiography (CTA) in patients suspected with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).

Methods: Between 2009 and 2011, consecutive patients suspected of acute PE were referred for V/P SPECT/CT (reviewed board approved study). A contrast agent was administered to patients who had no contraindications.

Chronic traumatic pseudoaneurysm of right subclavian artery.

A right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm caused by blunt trauma is described. CT and digital subtraction angiography helped us to establish a correct diagnosis. Radiologic features of subclavian artery aneurysms and relevant literature are briefly discussed.

Radiographic appearance of nosocomial legionnaires' disease after erythromycin treatment.

Radiographic features of 71 patients (48 men, 23 women) with nosocomial Legionella pneumophila pneumonia were assessed and compared with those of other nosocomial series of L pneumophila pneumonia. Sixteen patients were assessed retrospectively and 55 prospectively. Chest radiographs were assessed at the onset of the illness, 10 days later, and at 3 months.

Case report: uncommon radiological and pathological features of giant colonic diverticula.

A case of multiple giant sigmoid diverticula is described in which a barium enema revealed two giant diverticula communicating with the sigmoid lumen. Both diverticula were located on the mesenteric border of the sigmoid colon, and histologic examination showed mucosal and serosal layers with no evidence of smooth muscle. The pathogenesis, pathology, radiological manifestations and differential diagnosis of this rare condition are discussed.
