After a few months it emerged in Wuhan (China), Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was declared as pandemic the World Health Organization (WHO). Diagnosis of disease is mainly based on real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test nasopharyngeal swab. However, due to excess numbers false-negative PCR results, chest computed tomography (CT) commonly used...

Patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can develop severe bilateral pneumonia leading to respiratory failure. We aimed study the value of lung ultrasound (LUS) in patients COVID-19 admitted ICU, diagnosing and predicting prognosis comparison CT chest, aiming decrease radiation exposure dose during from chest.

Background Nintedanib (NIN) is an antifibrotic drug used to slow the progression of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD), reducing decline in forced vital capacity (FVC). High-resolution chest tomography (HRCT) gold standard imaging technique assess SSc-ILD, whereas ultrasound (LUS) a useful and repeatable non-invasive tool which increasingly clinical practice. Objecti...

was vacuum-formed from one piece of clear tenite (Lus-Trus Corporation, Ypsilanti, Michigan). The trough is 5 cm wide, 10 cm deep, and filled with water to a depth of 5 cm. The trough is rotated 2 rpm on a turntable in a darkened chamber. The alternative of rotating the stimulus light, photoconductors, and electrodes around the stationary trough seemed less convenient. The stimulus light is a d...

Interactions between bacteria which constitute the microflora of the digestive tract may be antagonistic or synergic. Certain bacteria can form a barrier to prevent colonisation of the gut by bacteria of other species or other strains of the same species. This review of current research refers to experiments on gnotoxenic animals, with mention of Escherichia coli and species of Clostr idium, La...

Objective: The low sensitivity of the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test on nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV2 virus could cause infections among health care professionals and be a source viral spread. aim this study was to verify whether lung ultrasonography (LUS) had negative predictive value (NPV) high enough rule out coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) i...

A novel LEarning-based Spectrum Sensing and Access (LESSA) framework is proposed, wherein a cognitive radio (CR) learns time-frequency correlation model underlying spectrum occupancy of licensed users (LUs) in ecosystem; concurrently, it devises an approximately optimal sensing access policy under constraints. Baum-Welch algorithm proposed to learn parametric Markov transition LUs’ based on noi...

Abstract Background We propose a modified lung ultrasound (LUS) score in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), which includes posterior instead of lateral fields, and 5-grade rating scale 4-grade scale. The purpose this study was to evaluate the reproducibility its correlation blood oxygenation assess ability early post-birth scans predict mode support on day life 3 (DOL 3). As sec...

Abstract Background In the setting of coronary care unit (CCU), early detection pneumonia is para-mount important to prevent severe complications. This study was designed aiming evaluate diagnostic accuracy lung ultrasound (LUS) in and compared with chest x-ray (CXR). Method We enrolled 110 consecutive patients admitted CCU Federico II University Hospital. Each patient underwent CXR bedside LUS...
