Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment01:25

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.6K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

185
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

260
Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Radiation: Applications

1.3K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

466
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • The efficacy of low-dose whole thoracic radiation therapy (LD-WTRT) for treating SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pneumonia remains undetermined.
  • Rapid global implementation of effective treatments for COVID-19 pneumonia is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a practical process for the safe and efficient administration of LD-WTRT to patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
  • To provide a framework for community hospitals to implement LD-WTRT based on the PreVent clinical trial.

Main Methods:

  • The study outlines a process for LD-WTRT administration.
  • The process is designed for implementation in a community hospital setting.
  • The approach is informed by participation in the PreVent clinical trial.

Main Results:

  • The study focuses on outlining a process, not presenting clinical outcomes.
  • The proposed process aims for safe and efficient LD-WTRT delivery.
  • Successful implementation in community hospitals is the anticipated outcome.

Conclusions:

  • A pragmatic approach to LD-WTRT administration for COVID-19 pneumonia can be developed.
  • This process facilitates the potential widespread adoption of LD-WTRT if proven effective.
  • Community hospitals can utilize this framework for safe and efficient treatment delivery.
