The aim of this study was to assess the findings of chest radiography and high-resolution computed tomography in patients requiring intensive care unit treatment for severe H1N1 virus pneumonia. ⋯ Patients requiring treatment in an intensive care unit for severe H1N1 pneumonia are at high risk for developing acute respiratory distress syndrome and frequently require ECMO therapy.

The aim of this study was to examine the geographic origin of publications in the highest impacting radiology journals and to examine the link between the percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) spent on research by a country and the output of radiology publications. ⋯ The United States is the most productive country in absolute number of publications. The flaws of using population size to compare publication output are clear, and a comparison using GDP and the percentage of GDP spent on research may give more meaningful results. When GDP is taken into consideration, smaller European countries are more productive. The importance of investment in radiologic research is emphasized by the association between increased funding of research and the number of publications in high-impacting radiology journals.
