Este estudo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa aplicada que teve a finalidade de identificar e analisar o que a comunidade científica mundial está publicando sobre os temas radiologia e diagnóstico por imagem no período da pandemia causada pelo vírus da COVID-19, a pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus colocou em evidência o papel fundamental da radiologia e diagnóstico por imagem, e a importância que os profissionais da saúde desempenham na sociedade. No estudo foram analisados 568 estudos extraídos na base de dados Scopus com os descritores "radiology and imaging diagnosis" e "COVID-19". A análise foi realizada por meio da ferramenta Orange Canvas mediante a técnica de clusterização. Como resultado, foi descoberto que os estudos estão direcionados para protocolos de radiologia para diagnóstico, gestão e processos básicos de trabalho da radiologia em suas atividades diárias. Um mapa mental foi proposto, a fim de sintetizar o agrupamento das descobertas dos estudos e também nesta síntese as evidências da falta de preocupação com a saúde do trabalhador de radiologia no momento da pandemia.

Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor that results in poor disease prognosis due to unsuccessful treatment options. During the early stages of tumor progression, surgery is the primary approach that assures a good outcome. However, in the presence of metastasis, melanoma hasbecome almost immedicable, since the tumors can not be removed and the disease recurs easily in a short period of time. However, in recent years, the combination of nanomedicine and chemotherapeutic drugs has offered promising solutions to the treatment of late-stage melanoma. Extensive studies have demonstrated that nanomaterials and their advanced applications can improve the efficacy of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs in order to overcome the disadvantages, such as drug resistance, low drug delivery rate and reduced targeting to the tumor tissue. In the present review, we summarized the latest progress in imaging diagnosis and treatment of melanoma using functional nanomaterials, including polymers, liposomes, metal nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles and carbon-based nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are reported widely in melanoma chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and hyperthermia.

AbstractOur understanding of the manifestations of pneumoconioses is evolving in recent years. Associations between novel exposures and diffuse interstitial lung disease have been newly recognized. In advanced asbestosis, two types of fibrosis are seen, probably related to dose of exposure, existence of pleural fibrosis, and the host factor status of the individual. In pneumoconiosis of predominant reticular type, nodular opacities are often seen in the early phase. The nodular pattern is centrilobular, although some in metal lung show perilymphatic distribution, mimicking sarcoidosis. High-resolution computed tomography enables a more comprehensive correlation between the pathologic findings and clinically relevant imaging findings. The clinician must understand the spectrum of characteristic imaging features related to both known dust exposures and to historically recent new dust exposures.

ObjectiveTo explore participants’ perspectives on, and experiences of, being assigned to a wait-and-see arm of a gluteal tendinopathy trial.DesignDescriptive qualitative.SettingGeneral community in Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia.ParticipantsFifteen participants who had been randomly allocated to the wait-and-see group in a recent parallel group superiority clinical trial. That trial compared the wait-and-see approach to a physiotherapist-led education plus exercise approach, and an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection. The wait-and-see approach involved one physiotherapy session in which participants received reassurance, general advice and encouragement to stay active for the management of gluteal tendinopathy.Data collection and analysisSemistructured interviews were conducted by four interviewers in person or over the internet, audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were coded and data analysed using an inductive thematic approach.ResultsFive themes were extracted from the interview transcripts: (1) Feeling disenfranchised by being assigned to a wait-and-see approach; (2) the importance of having a clinical and imaging diagnosis during screening for inclusion into the clinical trial; (3) feelings regarding the effectiveness of the approach; (4) the convenient and easy to follow nature of the wait-and-see approach and (5) the connotation of wait-and-see not always being perceived as an intervention.ConclusionsParticipants found the wait-and-see approach convenient and easy to follow, yet almost always felt disenfranchised that nothing was being done. Participants highlighted the importance of a definite clinical and imaging diagnosis.Trial registration numberACTRN12612001126808; Post-results.
