“…19 Similarly Rashid et al elaborate the role of CXR in COVID-19 pneumonia, discouraging the wastage of resources. 20 The patients having normal SpO 2 at rest after recovery from COVID-19 develop dry cough of variable intensity, aggravated at night or early morning and similar in character to bronchial asthma. 21 Similarly chronic cough, developed in 78.0% of patients, was the most common complication in the present study.…”

Objectives: To assess the late-onset pulmonary complications among survivors of coronavirus disease 2019. Methods: The cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the department of Pulmonology, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore between October 2020 and March 2021. Total 288 patients visiting the hospital 12-week after recovery from COVID-19 enrolled using convenience sampling. After excluding patients (n=61) with a history of previous respiratory symptoms before the development of COVID-19, data from 227 patients was subjected to final analysis. Chest X-ray (CXR) was used to evaluate lung condition. Results: Participation of middle-aged adults (54.6%) was higher than older (38.3%) and young adults (7.0%). The percentage of males was 55.5% and smokers was 29.1%. Dyspnea was the most common complication as 80.0% patients had moderate to severe dyspnea while chronic cough was 78.0% and lung fibrosis (LF) was 13.2%. The chances of LF increased with the rise in age (p-value 0.033). However, the distribution of LF was similar between males and females. The frequency of lung fibrosis in smokers was 3-time higher than among non-smokers (24.2 vs. 8.7%; p-value 0.003). The patients with LF were more dependent on O2 as compared to the patients without LF (p-value < 0.001). The frequency of tachycardia was significantly different between patients with and without LF (all p-values < 0.05). Conclusion: LF is a common late-onset pulmonary complication of COVID-19 and is associated with old age, smoking, O2 dependency, tachycardia, and severe dyspnea. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.4.6302 How to cite this: Baig MMA, Adnan M, Baig MU, Ramzan Z.

“…6 In different studies the sensitivity varies from 41% to 95% and specificity varies from 27.9% to 95%. [7][8][9][10] Whereas recent study has reveals that ureteroscopy is better in detection than CT scan 11 but it has its own pros and cons 12,13 Mix results have been observed in the literature therefore the study has been conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of USG in local setting. Ultrasonography (USG) is a cost effective as well as non-ionizing radiological technique for ureteral calculi detection.…”

Objective: To compare the radiological findings for ureteric calculi on Computed Tomography and Ultrasound. Methodology: In this cross sectional survey medical records of 51 patients, underwent CT KUB and Ultrasound KUB at Shalimar Hospital, visited during January 1st, 2021 to June 30th, 2021 were considered in the study. A comparison was done between the radiological findings of the USG and CT reports. CT was kept as a gold standard, and the detection of hydro-nephrosis, hydro ureter on USG was checked. Also a comparison was done on the number, size and location of stones detected on both modalities. Results: Among the patients 34 were males and 17 were female. The mean age of male patients was 42 whereas mean age of female patients was 40. The specificity and sensitivity of ultrasound for detecting ureteric calculi was 44.12% and 100%, hydronephrosis was 90% and 88% whereas for hydro ureter was 72% and 100% respectively as compared to Computed tomography. Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that there is an agreement between USG and CT finding for ureteric calculi. USG is cost effective than CT and equally effective in detecting hydronephrosis, hydro-ureter and ureteric calculi. Keywords: Ureteric Calculi, Hydronephrosis, Hydroureter, Flank Pain, Computed tomography, Ultrasound.
