CONCLUSION: Increased use of thoracic CT during the COVID-19 pandemic probably enabled improved detection of ITNs. In this large-scale study, the prevalence of thyroid nodules reported with thoracic CT was 3.82%, while thyroid cancer was detected in
CONCLUSIONS: Despite increased preoperative risk factors, COVID-positive children did not have an increased risk of postoperative complications after common urgent and emergent procedures. However, length of stay was greater for COVID-positive
CONCLUSIONS: A strategy of very early IS did not improve clinical outcomes compared with a standard care IS in higher risk patients with NSTE-ACS. However, the primary outcome rate was low and the trial was underpowered to detect such a difference.
Accurate prediction of COVID-19 severity remains a challenge. Torque teno virus (TTV), recognized as a surrogate marker of functional immunity in solid organ transplant recipients, holds the potential for assessing infection outcomes. We investigated
