Background:

  • The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, led to its declaration as a global public health emergency and pandemic by the World Health Organization.
  • The rapid international spread necessitated urgent public health interventions and a robust clinical response.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical importance of effective clinical strategies for managing the COVID-19 outbreak.
  • To underscore the necessity for healthcare professionals to be equipped for screening, diagnosing, and monitoring patients with COVID-19.

Main Methods:

  • Review of public health declarations and governmental response measures.
  • Analysis of the clinical implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Results:

  • COVID-19 was officially recognized as a pandemic, demanding international attention.
  • Strong governmental measures were implemented to control the epidemic's spread.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians play a vital role in the frontline response to COVID-19.
  • Accurate screening, diagnosis, and patient monitoring are essential components of pandemic management.

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...
