High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can reduce the need for intubation in patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia induced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), but predictors of HFNC success could be characterized better. C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer are associated with COVID-19 severity and progression. However, no one has evaluated the use of serial CRP and D-dimer ratios to predict HFNC success.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, particularly within pediatric populations. This article reports the case of a 7-year-old female patient admitted with massive fibrinous pleural effusion secondary to TB, highlighting the key role of ultrasound in disease monitoring and therapeutic guidance. The patient presented with fever, cough, and abdominal pain.

Rare ultrasound placenta findings, such as avascular cystic lesions, hyperechogenic and thick placenta, and enlarged placenta, are associated with infarcts, perivillous fibrin deposition, and mesenchymal dysplasia. These lesions can be present in 20% of normal pregnancies but are more frequent in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia (PE) and/or fetal growth restriction, autoimmune diseases, and infections, and can increase the risk of perinatal complications, including fetal death. Evaluation of the placental surface may also identify cases with circumvallate placenta and chorioangiomas.

Prognostic indicators are crucial for identifying patients at risk of complications. D-dimer, a degradation product of cross-linked fibrin, is a specific marker for thrombosis.

Pregnancies in women with Fontan circulation are on the rise, and they are known to imply high maternal and fetal complication rates. The altered hemodynamic profile of univentricular circulation affects placental development and function. This study describes placental sonomorphologic appearance and Doppler examinations and correlates these to histopathologic findings and pregnancy outcomes in women with Fontan circulation.
