Use of multi-slice CT scan has led to shorter time of scan with optimal capacity in constant time. This study aimed to evaluate the tissue contrast differentiation between head and neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma tumors and adjacent muscle tissue in early and late phases by multi-slice CT scan. Methods and Materials: In this cross-sectional study, 76 patients with head and neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma referred to us in imaging center of Tehran Amir A'lam hospital in 2014-5015. Multi-slice CT scan were conducted at early time (20 seconds) and 180 and 300 seconds after contrast media injection. Then, Hounsfield score of affected tissue and nearest muscle was measured. Δ density was defined as the contrast between tumor density and nearest muscle density. Results: The mean of tumor density at early phase, late phase (180s) and (300s) was 75/76 ± 21/08, 75/26 ± 12/96 and 74/14 ± 12/57, respectively (P>0.05). Conversely, the muscle density significantly was lower in early phase compare to late phase (65/31 ± 11/65 vs. 69/06 ± 12/23 and 69/82 ± 10/69, P<0.001). Our results also showed that Δ density was decreased in late phases, however, this reduction was not statistically significant (P=0.08). Conclusion: Results indicated that multi-slice CT scan may have good tissue contrast differentiation ability between head and neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma tumors and adjacent muscle tissues in early phases after contrast media injection.","PeriodicalId":92003,"journal":{"name":"Archives of medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87680789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outbreak of the “ Coronavirus Disease 2019” (COVID-19) started in December 2019 and quickly became a sweeping and unprecedented challenge to different stakeholders in mainland China. Although the epidemic of COVID-19 is not yet over, it has already outpaced the previous severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012. Approximately 3.2% of patients with COVID-19 required intubation and invasive ventilation at some point in the disease course. Providing best practices regarding intubation and ventilation for an overwhelming number of patients with COVID-19 amid an enhanced risk of cross-infection is a daunting undertaking. By putting patients on ventilators comes with risks, too, including infection and unintentional damage to the lungs. Very often, patients require heavy sedatives to paralyze them so doctors can get the breathing tube into the patients' windpipe. That procedure, called intubation, also carries the risk of infection and lung complications, and can expose health care workers to virus-filled respiratory droplets. This is a case series that explains the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients who have required high amounts of supplemental oxygen, but were able to improve without intubation.","PeriodicalId":92003,"journal":{"name":"Archives of medicine","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86283069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coronavirus virion are circular with a diameter of nearly 125 nm. Its most conspicuous characteristic of coronaviruses is the club-shaped spiked projections originating from the surface of the virion. Such spikes are a definite characteristic of the virion and give them a solar corona appearance leading the term coronaviruses [1]. Coronaviridae covers a broad range of host & carriers, infecting many mammalian & avian species/subspecies, this may affect the upper respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic and central nervous system via a number of diseases [2]. SARS-CoV, group 2b-β coronavirus, was detected as the potential cause of the 2002-2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in the Guangdong Province of China.

Questionnaires have been proposed as a useful tool for primary care medicine but also as a cost effective option. However, it ’ s use still controversial in pediatric population. In this exploratory study, we have used the MM GERD Questionnaire in 2 elementary schools. Objective: An exploratory study to evaluate the MM GERD questionnaire in children of 5-17 years old of 2 elementary schools in Mexico City. Methods: A prospective, descriptive exploratory study including male and female children 5-17 years in which parents or tutors accept and sign ICF and willing to answer the 4 scale multi-dimensional GERD scale symptom (10 items), pain intensity scale (3 items); disability scale (3 items) and satisfaction scale (2 items). Results: A total of 223 children were included with 123 male and 99 female with mean age of 8.64 ± 2.7, weight 32.94 ± 14.17 kg, height 1.30 ± 0.17 mt and BMI of 18.67 ± 4.9. There was good construct validity among 4 scales measured with Pearson coefficient. The inter-item consistency (Cronbach’s co-efficient alpha) for the symptoms items, pain intensity items, disability items and satisfaction items were 0.41, 0.78, 0.87 and 0.4, respectively, demonstrating adequate reliability of the measure. Conclusion: MM GERD is a not a reliable questionnaire to explore the presence of upper gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy children from 5-17 years old. Thus several limitations, it is necessary to assess language, methodological and clinical validation of MM GERD to extrapolate these results into clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":92003,"journal":{"name":"Archives of medicine","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79985570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
