Introduction: This study aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the potential association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and low bone mass in adults.
Methods: Electronic searches of four main databases were performed. The inclusion criteria consisted of observational studies investigating the relationship between OSA and bone mass, osteoporosis, fractures, or bone metabolism markers in adult population.
Background: Severe community-acquired pneumonia is one of the most lethal forms of CAP with high mortality. For rapid and accurate decisions, we developed a mortality prediction model specifically tailored for elderly SCAP patients.
Methods: The retrospective study included 2365 elderly patients.
Objectives: We investigated the safety and feasibility of CT-guided transthoracic pulmonary artery catheterization (TPAC) in a porcine model.
Methods: Procedures were conducted on ten mature Bama miniature pigs. After anesthesia, chest CT was performed in the left lateral decubitus position to determine the puncture route.
Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes on the success of bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) in patients with and without systemic artery-to-pulmonary vessel fistula (SA-PF) and to evaluate the feasibility of CTA in the assessment of SA-PF.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 420 consecutive patients that underwent BAE for hemoptysis control in our hospital from September 2011 to May 2019. The clinical characteristics, preprocedural CTA findings, BAE procedural findings, and follow-up outcomes were collected.
