Filter by:COVID-19 is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. CKD requires particular emphasis during the pandemic due to concern for increased susceptibility to infection from greater use of health facilities in people undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 involves multiple organs and lung injury is one of the most clinical manifestations. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptors at target cells ,including type II pneumocytes ,and alveolar macrophages in the lung could arise into acute systemic inflammatory responses and cytokine storm.The consequentially leading to lung-resident dentritic cells (rDCs) activation, T lymphocytes production and release antiviral cytokines into the alveolar septa and interstitial compartments resulting in diffuse alveolar epithelium destruction,hyaline membrane formation, alveolar septal fibrous proliferation and pulmonary fibrosis.Although it has been reported that subgroups of COVID-19 survivors developed persistent lung parenchymal injury that persisted at least after 6 months 5-6 ,the data in CKD patients has not been reported yet.In addition, a study of pulmonary function test after COVID-19 is needed to be investigated.Thus,we plan to assess pulmonary sequalae of COVID-19 in hemodialysis (HD) patients and pulmonary function test after recovered of infection at least 3 months.
The standard post-operative radiographic protocol for the monitoring of fractures at Health Sciences Centre includes post-operative in hospital radiographs as well as radiographs at the two week follow up appointment. This is in addition to good quality intra-operative radiographs. With current operative techniques and implants, orthopaedic surgeons can achieve reliably stable internal fixation. In fact, patients are often allowed to take weight through the fractured limb immediately post-operatively. In these cases, redundant post-operative radiographs likely represent an avoidable cost to the system financially, and an avoidable cost to the patient in additional time spent in hospital and unnecessary radiation exposure.
