Global guideline for the diagnosis and management of candidiasis: an initiative...

Candida species are the predominant cause of fungal infections in patients treated in hospital, contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality. Candidaemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis primarily affect patients who are immunocompromised or critically ill. In contrast, mucocutaneous forms of candidiasis, such as oral thrush and vulvovaginal candidiasis, can occur in otherwise healthy individual...

Multinational attitudes toward AI in Health Care and diagnostics among Hospital...

The successful implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care depends on its acceptance by key stakeholders, particularly patients, who are the primary beneficiaries of AI-driven outcomes. OBJECTIVES To survey hospital patients to investigate their trust, concerns, and preferences toward the use of AI in health care and diagnostics and to assess the sociodemographic factors associated with patien...

A infecção ocorreu numa mulher imunocompetente de 72 anos de idade e o diagnóstico foi obtido pela coloração de Gram e cultivo de biópsia pulmonar. C. striatum d...

CT-guided biopsy of lung lesions: defining the best needle option for a specifi...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of fine and cutting needles in computed tomography guided-biopsy of lung lesions suspicious for malignancy and to determine which technique is the best option for a specific diagnosis. METHODS: This retrospective study reviewed the data from 362 (71.6%) patients who underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy and from 97 (19.7%) patients who underwent cutting-needle biopsy be...

Improving CT-guided transthoracic biopsy of mediastinal lesions by diffusion-we...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the preliminary results obtained using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and the apparent diffusion coefficient for planning computed tomography-guided biopsies of selected mediastinal lesions. METHODS: Eight patients with mediastinal lesions suspicious for malignancy were referred for computed tomography-guided biopsy. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and appare...

A senescência e o enfisema pulmonar : estudo tomográfico computadorizado das ár...

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo retrospectivo foi avaliar a quantificação volumétrica de enfisema (índice de enfisema) em uma população sem doença pulmonar reconhecível, e testar se o índice de enfisema (IE) é alterado com a idade. MÉTODOS: O IE e da densidade pulmonar média (MLD) foram medidos em uma coorte de 32 pacientes não-tabagistas sem doença pulmonar reconhecível (16 homens, 16 mulheres) de 23 a 78 an...
