Multicenter StudyAcute pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2-related pneumonia: multicentric experience from Italian endemic area.
To analyze pulmonary embolism (PE) on chest computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in hospitalized patients affected by SARS-CoV-2, according to the severity of lung disease based both on temporal CT features changes and on CT-severity lung involvement (CT-severity score), along with the support of clinical and laboratory findings. ⋯ Patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection present a higher cumulative incidence of PE compared to the general population of hospitalized patients, regardless of the severity of lung inflammation or the temporal stage of the disease.

Multicenter Study Comparative StudyBaseline chest X-ray in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients: association with clinical and laboratory data.
To assess the reliability of CXR and to describe CXR findings and clinical and laboratory characteristics associated with positive and negative CXR. ⋯ CXR has a low sensitivity. LDH, CRP and interval between the onset of symptoms and the execution of CXR are major predictors for a positive CXR.

Multicenter StudyExtra-pleural pneumonectomy in the era of image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
To assess the outcome of malignant pleural mesothelioma patients treated with extra-pleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT), using the most advanced radiotherapeutic techniques, namely image-guided intensity-modulated RT (IG-IMRT). ⋯ Although executed in the era of high-technology radiotherapy (IG-IMRT), EPP should not be routinely performed.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study[Ultrasonography, with Doppler color, and cytologic correlations in Plummer's disease].
We carried out a retrospective study to assess the different B-mode and color Doppler features of Plummer's disease and to compare them with cytologic findings. ⋯ Color Doppler US provides data on the functional phase of Plummer's disease and is a very useful tool to monitor medical treatment results; moreover, it permits to characterize the lesions with the richest vascularization, avoiding inadequate cytologic sampling.
