Incidental findings on FDG-PET/CT in large vessel vasculitis
This study aims to determine the number and type of incidental findings detected on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in a cohort of patients with large vessel vasculitis (LVV). Reports from PET/CT studies along with the medical charts of a cohort of patients with LVV from a Rheumatology clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, were retrospectively reviewed. Incidental findings from PET/CT, along with follow-up studies and their diagnosis were documented. The data was analyzed with descriptive statistics. The disease activity of 40 patients, with an average age of 65.8 years, was investigated using PET/CT. A statisticall...

Systemic lupus erythematosus associated with development of macrophage activation syndrome and disseminated aspergillosis
CONCLUSIONS: Four features of this case merit discussion, including the: 1) infrequent association of SLE with MAS; 2) short interval between SLE diagnosis and critical illness; 3) manifestation of fungal tracheobronchitis with airway obstruction; and 4) lack of response to antifungal treatment while receiving ECMO.PMID:37349668 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-023-02506-2

Clinical characteristics, multiorgan dysfunction and outcomes of patients with COVID-19: a prospective case series
This study provides further evidence that COVID-19 is a multisystem disease involving neurologic, cardiac and thrombotic dysfunction, without evidence of hepatic dysfunction. Patients have persistent organ dysfunction after hospital discharge, underscoring the need for research on long-term outcomes of COVID-19 survivors.PMID:35853662 | DOI:10.9778/cmajo.20210151

Left ventricular concentric remodeling and impaired cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
CONCLUSIONS: Post-exercise reduced LV volumes correlate with measures of impaired CRF in patients with HFpEF, thus supporting a pathophysiologic role of concentric remodeling in impaired CRF in HFpEF.
