Case ReportsPATIENT CLINICAL CONDITION IN RELATION TO HYPOXEMIA AND CHEST X-RAY CHANGES IN NOVEL CoV-19 PNEUMONIA: A CASE REPORT.
Persistent changes on chest x-ray and hypoxemia in arterial blood gas analyses have been described in several cases in novel CoV-19 virus (nCoV-19) patients. These changes are usually not expressed to a large extent. Our goal was not only to present a patient with comorbidities in whom residual pulmonary infiltrates remained with consequent hypoxemia after extubation, but also to show that these changes do not always correlate with the clinical condition. In summary, despite chest x-ray changes and hypoxemia, with appropriate respiratory physiotherapy, the patient had a satisfactory clinical status.

HIGHER FREQUENCY OF GERMINAL MATRIX-INTRAVENTRICULAR HEMORRHAGE IN MODERATE AND LATE PRETERM AND EARLY TERM NEONATES WITH INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RESTRICTION COMPARED TO HEALTHY ONES.
Germinal matrix-intraventricular brain hemorrhage is mostly found in preterm neonates, but may also occur in term neonates. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and severity of this type of hemorrhage in moderate and late preterm and early term neonates with intrauterine growth restriction. In the prospective analysis, 100 newborns were examined, i.e. 70 with intrauterine growth restriction and 30 as a control group. ⋯ There were no neonates with hemorrhage grade 3 or 4. The predominant type of germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage in the intrauterine growth restriction group was hemorrhage grade 1. Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage was more often present in the intrauterine growth restricted neonates than in the control group.
