The effectiveness of preoperative diagnostic methods in predicting intra-abdominal adhesions before repeat cesarean section delivery.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of skin appearance, striae gravidarum severity, and ultrasonographic "sliding sign" in predicting preoperative adhesions before repeat cesarean section delivery on the same patient and find the most useful one. ⋯ Stria score, scar appearance, and sliding sign are all significant predictors for intraperitoneal adhesions, and sliding sign, as an easy-to-apply, inexpensive, useful sonographic marker, is the most effective adhesion predictor before repeat cesarean section delivery compared to other known adhesion markers.

Observational StudyAnalysis of possible risk predictors in patients with coronavirus disease 2019: a retrospective cohort study.
This study aimed to analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile, possible risk predictors, and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 admitted to the ward of a tertiary care hospital in southern Brazil. Specifically, we describe the demographic characteristics, comorbidities, baseline laboratory findings, clinical course, and survival of these patients. ⋯ After analyzing the clinical and epidemiological profile, it can be concluded that age greater than 65 years and pulmonary involvement >50% are predictors of a worse prognosis for coronavirus disease 2019, as is the need for high-flow oxygen therapy. Corticotherapy, however, proved to be beneficial in the treatment of the disease.
