Comparative Study Observational Study
Clinical and imaging characteristics of hematologic disease complicated by air leak syndrome: A STROBE-compliment observational study.
There are limited systematic studies on hematologic disease complicated by air leak syndrome (ALS). Physicians in radiology departments and hematology departments have a limited awareness of ALS. The aim of this study was to explore the similarities and differences in clinical data between the clinical group and imaging group in patients with hematologic disease complicated by ALS. ⋯ ALS is a high risk in male patients who have a low BMI, have leukemia as a basic disease, and have basic lung diseases (eg, BO/BOOP). CT types are mainly complex ALS, HPT, and pure PT. In addition, clinical symptoms for patients in the HPT group are severe, and there is a high prevalence of catheter drainage.

C1q nephropathy is a rare glomerulopathy characterized by mesangial deposition of the complement component C1q. These deposits can be isolated or associated with immunoglobulins or complement fractions, which are observed by immunofluorescence or immunohistochemical microscopy. In ultramicroscopy, dense mesangial deposits and alterations of the podocyte are observed. ⋯ In light microscopy, it is expressed with a morphological pattern of minimal change disease (MCD), mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The NS during its evolution usually evolve in steroid resistance or steroid dependency, often requiring the association of immunosuppressants to obtain remission. We report a 14 years old male with a history of NS and its evolution under various treatments during a 12-year follow-up.

Persons with mental disorders are at a higher risk than the general population for the subsequent development of certain medical conditions. ⋯ Most mental disorders were associated with an increased risk of a subsequent medical condition; hazard ratios ranged from 0.82 to 3.62 and varied according to the time since the diagnosis of the mental disorder. (Funded by the Danish National Research Foundation and others; COMO-GMC ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03847753.).

Since 2000, China has been developing primary care institutions to serve as the gateway to the healthcare system. However, the investment of resources in primary care institutions is not based on the actual medical demands of the public. This study analysed primary care utilization to provide targeted guidance for the improvement of primary healthcare delivery in China. ⋯ To meet the patients' needs and to develop the primary care system, the Shanghai government should focus on diseases with regionally high proportions. Disease diagnosis and treatment should be improved in the younger and suburban populations.
