[Palliative care in interstitial lung disease: A national analysis of access and knowledge of Argentine pulmonologists].

Introduction: Palliative care (PC) is essential in the treatment of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD). There is no data on the management of PC by pulmonologists in Argentina for ILD patients. This study aimed to describe the approach to PC in ILD patients in Argentina.

Association between hypogonadism and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction And Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently coexists with other comorbidities, including hypogonadism. However, the association between COPD severity and hypogonadism remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate this association and compare the clinical characteristics of hypogonadal and eugonadal COPD patients.

[Prevalence of burnout in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated factors. A cross-sectional study].

The COVID-19 pandemic generated an overload of the health system and mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion of workers. Previous studies have reported elevated levels of burnout syndrome in healthcare workers. The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of burnout syndrome in healthcare workers.

[Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia: imaging findings].

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is a rare disease of unknown cause characterized by alveolar and interstitial eosinophilic infiltration. The tomographic pattern is characterized by consolidations and peripherally distributed ground glass opacities in both upper lobes. Other findings are opacities in bands parallel to the pleura, thickening of the interlobular septa, migratory opacities, and mediastinal lymph nodes.

Thrombotic events following Covid-19 vaccines compared to Influenza vaccines.

Importance: The actual risk of thrombotic events after Covid-19 vaccination is unknown.

Objective: To evaluate the risk of thrombotic events after Covid-19 vaccination.

Design: Retrospective cohort study which included consecutive adult patients vaccinated with the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine between January 1 and May 30, 2021, and a historic control group, defined as consecutive patients vaccinated with influenza vaccine between March 1 and July 30, 2019.

Incidence of COVID-19 after pulmonary function tests: a retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: It has been proposed that exposure to pulmonary function tests (PFT) could be associated with a higher risk of viral transmission. The risk of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission after performing PFT is unknown. We aimed to assess the incidence  of COVID-19 after a PFT at an academic teaching facility in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A practical artificial intelligence system to diagnose COVID-19 using computed tomography: A multinational external validation study.

Computed tomography has gained an important role in the early diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. However, the ever-increasing number of patients has overwhelmed radiology departments and has caused a reduction in quality of services. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are the remedy to the current situation.

[Long covid: cross sectional study].

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health problem worldwide. After 3 weeks of the onset of the disease, between 10-87% of patients persist with symptoms. The objective of the study was to evaluate the persistence of symptoms in patients with COVID-19, the associated factors, and to explore the patients' perception of the disease.

[Clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 in a single center of Argentina. Retrospective cohort].

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) became a priority health problem. The objective was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, evolution and severity of COVID-19 in a third-level hospital, in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We conducted a retrospective cohort of 101 patients with COVID-19 from March 3 to June 21, 2020.

[Cryobiopsy in interstitial lung disease: a real-life experience from a single center in Argentina].

Cryobiopsy in interstitial lung disease: a real-life experience from a single center in Argentina. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has been recently introduced for the histological assessment of interstitial lung diseases. The objectives were to assess the diagnostic yield and safety of TBLC for interstitial lung diseases in our setting.

Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a frequent complication in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is unclear that the extent to which the traditional risk stratifying scores for PE are accurate in this population.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of adult patients with COPD and suspected PE included in an Institutional Registry of Thromboembolic Disease at a tertiary teaching hospital in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[COVID-19 pneumonia: Tomographic findings].

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread worldwide and has become a priority health problem. We described a case of a patient with COVID-19 and the main characteristics of imaging findings.

[Pulmonary restriction secondary to cutaneous sclerosis caused by chronic graft versus host disease: Case Report].

Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of the allogeneic stem cell transplant. One of most frequent manifestations of GVHD is the cutaneous compromise with the sclerodermatous variety being the most severe. We considered that the restrictive respiratory compromise and its evolution are not well characterized.
