Autopsies of deceased COVID-19 patients and studies of patients with end-stage lung disease from COVID-19 have found a range of serious lung problems, the researchers noted. "Further research is still needed on why some patients recover completely, and others don't. Our study shows t...
Persisting structural lung abnormalities after covid-19 pneumonia seem to be infrequent. Eighty four people who had survived covid-19 pneumonia severe enough to require hospitalisation, but not severe enough to need intubation or mechanical ventilation, were investigated using high resolution computed ...
said: "Many COVID-19 patients are still experiencing breathlessness several months after being discharged from hospital, despite their CT scans indicating that their lungs are functioning
How does COVID-19 take over a patient's system? RAZOR has been exploring a new theory about that and finds out what causes fluid build-up in patients' lungs. The premise is that an excess of bradykinin, an inflammatory molecule made up of a short chain of amino aci...
Long-term implications of these lung changes remain unclear, but the results warrant further surveillance of persistent lung damage in children and adolescents after COVID-19, Dr. Knieling said. Lung MRI is already widely available, he noted, making these imaging approaches easy to integrate into...
The male patient, 59, was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Jan. 26 and had several negative nucleic acid test results after going through trachea cannula, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and medication, yet suffered irreversible pulmonary disfunction, the hospital said. ...

JAMA:We do not yet have data about long-term survival for patients with lung transplants for COVID-19, but can you tell us about typical survival rates after lung transplant? Dr Bharat:Of all the lung transplants performed in the US, both single and double transplants, the 30-day surviv...
Twenty-eight patients had a baseline (during the covid admission) and on a follow-up HRCT thorax. All patients had changes of COVID-19 with CT severity ranging from 12/25 to 22/25 during the active covid illness. Out of 28, CT was suggestive of near complete radiological resolution of...
WUHAN, May 9 (Xinhua) -- A COVID-19 patient who received a double-lung transplant surgery after 73 days of ECMO therapy is now recovering and able to communicate with medics, with stable vital signs and the transplanted lungs functioning well, a local hospital in Wuhan said Saturday. ...
