Both Chest X-rays (CXR) and blood test have been demonstrated to have predictive value on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis on different prevalence scenarios. With the objective of improving and accelerating the diagnosis of COVID-19, a multi modal prediction algorithm (MultiCOVID) based on CXR and blood test was developed, to discriminate between COVID-19, Heart Failure (HF) and Non-Covid Pneumonia (NCP) and healthy (Control) patients. This retrospective single-center study includes CXR and blood test obtained between January 2017 and May 2020. Multi modal prediction models were generated using opensource DL algorithms. Performance of the MultiCOVID algorithm was compared with interpretations from five experienced thoracic radiologists on 300 random test images using the McNemar-Bowker test. A total of 8578 samples from 6123 patients (mean ag...

Methods Retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary-care hospital. Patients admitted because of seasonal influenza between 2017 and 2019, or with COVID-19 between March and May 2020 requiring supplemental oxygen were compared. Primary outcome: 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes: 90-day mortality and hospitalization costs. Attempted sample size to detect an 11% difference in mortality was 187 patients per group. Results COVID-19 cases were younger (median years of age, 67; interquartile range [IQR] 54–78 vs 76 [IQR 64–83]; P < .001) and more frequently overweight, whereas influenza cases had more hypertension, immunosuppression, and chronic heart, respiratory, and renal disease. Compared with influenza, COVID-19 cases had more pneumonia (98% vs 60%, <.001), higher Modified Early War...

Revision del temaEl ictus isquemico se puede generar por tres principales causas:Trombosis intravascular: representa la formacion de un trombo a nivel arterial, generalmente debido a ateroesclerosis, diseccion o displasia fibromuscular.Embolismo: es necesaria la presencia de un foco emboligeno extra-cerebral desde el cual embolos de diferente tamano pueden desplazarse a la circulacion cerebral y obstruirla en diferentes territorios vasculares.Hipoperfusion sistemica: es el resultado de la disminucion del normal aporte vascular al cerebro debido a varias causas, la mayoria relacionada con disfuncion cardiaca (isquemia miocardica, parada cardiaca, arritmias)

Our case highlights how MDCT angiography was a key factor in planning surgical approach as it not only accurately defined aortic arch anatomy but also aortopulmonary window morphology.
