Case Reports[Pulmonary thromboembolism as contributing cause of severe respiratory insufficiency in a patient with COVID-19 infection].
We report a case of multiple peripheral pulmonary thromboembolisms in a 69-year-old male hospitalised due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. There were no evident risk factors for pulmonary thromboembolism, the patient had a Wells' score of zero, and the diagnosis only became evident after repeated CT pulmonary angiographies.

Review[Indications and application of extracorporeal shockwave therapy].
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a novel treatment modality to stimulate tissue regeneration and anti-fibrosis. In this review, we summarise the use of ESWT for erectile dysfunction (ED), diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), Peyronie's disease (PD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and scleroderma. ⋯ ESWT is still experimental for CKD and scleroderma. In general, ESWT is associated with few and mild adverse effects.

In this case report, a 70-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with respiratory tract symptoms and a fever, and he was isolated, suspected of COVID-19. A chest radiograph showed bilateral consolidations, and subsequent chest CT scan revealed bilateral and peripheral ground glass opacities, which are the most common radiological manifestations of COVID-19. The characteristic radiological findings can be exploited in the diagnosis of COVID-19, and radiologists should have knowledge of the usual manifestations of COVID-19, as they may play a role in early detection and diagnosis of the disease.
