To investigate the correlations of initial lab and imaging findings in COVID-19 patients of different clinical types. ⋯ The CT features at initial diagnosis of COVID-19 were mainly characterized by multiple GGO with or without partial consolidation in both lungs, with the lesions mainly distributed at the subpleural regions. Some lab test indexes were correlated with the clinical types of COVID-19.
-
To analyze the diagnostic characteristics and clinical related factors of patients with atelectasis by painless electronic bronchoscopy. ⋯ Painless electronic bronchoscopy is of great value in the clinical diagnosis of patients with atelectasis, and it is likely to further clarify the etiology of atelectasis. Age, sex, and quantity of smoking may be clinical factors associated with atelectasis.
-
To compare the clinical effects of Osimertinib and Gefitinib in the treatment of non-small cell lung (NSCLC) complicated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation. ⋯ The clinical effect of oxitinib in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer complicated with EGFR gene mutation is similar to that of Gefitinib. In patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR gene mutations, oxitinib treatment is associated with significantly longer PFS and lower adverse reaction rate compared with Gefitinib treatment.
-
To determine the application value of thinprep cytologic test (TCT) combined with serum carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) and carbohydrate antigen 50 (CA50) detection in the early diagnosis and screening of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. ⋯ TCT combined with serum CA153 and CA50 has been reported as a treatment regimen with high accuracy, which has a high diagnostic efficiency for early diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions, and can significantly improve the sensitivity.

To determine the effects of donor and red blood cells concentrate characteristics on recipient hemoglobin increment following red blood cells transfusion in pediatric patients. ⋯ Donors' age and Rh blood group and red blood cell concentrates' washing accounts for significant rise in recipient's post-transfusion hemoglobin. These factors may be used to predict changes in recipients' hemoglobin before transfusion.
