DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02473-21
Abstract: Pulmonary infection is a heterogeneous and complex infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In clinical practice, a considerable proportion of the etiology of pulmonary infection is unclear, microbiological diagnosis being challenging. Metagenomic next-generation… read more here.

DOI: 10.7326/m22-3116
Abstract: BACKGROUND Recently, validated clinical decision rules have been developed that avoid unnecessary use of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVE To measure any… read more here.
