Are there pulmonary sequelae in patients recovering from COVID-19?

It has been recently hypothesized that infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may lead to fibrotic sequelae in patients recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this observational study, hospitalized patients with COVID-19 had a HRCT of the chest performed to detect the extension of fibrotic abnormalities via Hounsfield Units (HU). At follow-up, the lung density significantly improved in both lungs and in each lobe of all patients, being in the normal range (- 950 to - 700 HU). This study provides preliminary evidence that hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate forms of COVID-19 are not at risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis

Cyst of canal of Nuck in a young woman affected by kniest syndrome: ultrasound and MRI features

Swelling of the inguinal region in a woman is a frequent finding in daily clinical practice. We focused our attention on the possible differential diagnoses, giving emphasis to the less common causes of this frequent female disorder and describing their characteristics in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The causes of swelling in this region may be multiple and in this paper, we will show a rare case of diagnosis of Nuck's canal cyst in a patient with Kniest Syndrome.
