Article Abstract

Point-of-care lung ultrasound is a widely used tool in the diagnosis and management of patients with pulmonary diseases and now with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We describe two cases of pneumothorax which are, as far as we know, among the first reported in COVID-19 patients younger than 18 years. The diagnostic and monitoring role of point-of-care lung ultrasound has been extremely useful in the management of patients.

Healthy dietary pattern and risk of rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Semin Arthritis Rheum

August 2025

Division of Rheumatology, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905, USA; Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905, USA. Electronic address:

Objectives: We aimed to determine the degree to which a healthy dietary pattern is associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: We registered this systematic review and meta-analysis in PROSPERO (CRD42025645056). Inclusion criteria were validated diet (anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and/or healthy eating index [HEI]); validated RA definition; dietary exposure preceding RA; and randomized controlled trial, cohort, or case-control design.

Importance: Preterm children face a higher risk of cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension. However, studies have not isolated the associations of prematurity with cardiovascular conditions from the associations of subsequent complications with cardiovascular conditions, especially among those admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Objective: To investigate prospective associations of prematurity and NICU complications with childhood hypertension while accounting for prenatal and perinatal factors.

Importance: The association of cardiopulmonary point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) with length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs for patients admitted to internal medicine wards remains uncertain.

Objective: To evaluate a collaborative implementation model involving hospitalists, sonographers, and a remote cardiologist for integrating cardiopulmonary POCUS into the assessment of adult patients (≥18 years) hospitalized with undifferentiated dyspnea, and to assess its association with LOS and hospitalization costs.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This quality improvement study employed a type 1 effectiveness-implementation hybrid design using a 6-month stepped-wedge cluster randomized approach, conducted at a tertiary care hospital in the US between December 7, 2023, and July 2, 2024, to compare the standard-of-care (control) with the intervention group.

Introduction: Pediatric plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare complication of surgically palliated congenital heart disease (CHD). Fibrin casts obstruct airways and can cause respiratory distress. There are no therapeutics approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to treat PB, but inhaled tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) has been anecdotally used to relieve symptoms.

Background: Tackling climate change, together with improving indoor air quality, offers a significant opportunity to improve residents' health and well-being. This requires the evidence base to inform an energy-efficient retrofit design.

Objectives: (i) To develop a protocol that could be implemented by local authorities across a range of housing typologies and (ii) to deploy this protocol to establish baseline conditions in  = 30 homes ahead of energy-efficient retrofitting.
