Background: The objective of this paper was to study the radiological characteristics COVID-19 patients and establish a possible correlation chest CT severity index (CTSI) with different clinical forms disease.Methods: All who routinely underwent non contrast tested positive for by RT-PCR respiratory secretion obtained broncho alveolar lavage nasopharyngeal swab test had been included in given ...

Abstract Background Some COVID-19 patients with similar quantitative CT measurements had variable clinical presentation and outcome. The absence of reasonable explanations, such as pre-existing comorbidities or vascular complications, adds to the confusion. authors believed that neglecting impact certain severe morphologic features could be an alternative radiological explanation. This study ai...

It is important to identify the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) in the early course of the disease. Clinical scoring systems may be helpful to predict the prognosis of patients with early AP; however, few analysts have forecast the accuracy of scoring systems for the prognosis in hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP). The purpose of this study was to summarize the clinical characteristic...

AIM This prospective study aimed to compare the accuracy of echo enhanced ultrasound with spiral computed tomography (CT) in assessing acute pancreatitis and to explore the correlation between ultrasound findings and clinical outcome. METHODS Thirty one patients (24 men and 7 women, median age 39 years, range 19-67 years) with acute pancreatitis were investigated by contrast enhanced CT and e...

This paper demonstrates a predictive method for the spatially explicit and periodic in situ monitoring of surface water quality small lake using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), equipped with multi-spectrometer. According to reflectance different substances spectral bands, multiple regression analyses are used determine models that comprise most relevant band combinations from multispectral im...

Abstract Background Lung ultrasound can adequately monitor disease severity in pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesize lung COVID-19 critically ill patients. Methods Adult patients with admitted to the intensive care unit of two academic hospitals who underwent a 12-zone chest CT examination were included. Baseline characteristics, outcomes including composite endpoint...

Background. Multifactorial scorings, radiological scores, and biochemical markers may help in early prediction of severity, pancreatic necrosis, and mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods. BISAP, APACHE-II, MOSS, and SIRS scores were calculated using data within 24 hrs of admission, whereas Ranson and Glasgow scores after 48 hrs of admission; CTSI was calculated on day 4 wh...
