    Abstract Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent manifestation of connective tissue diseases (CTDs), with incidence and prevalence variously assessed in the literature but reported in up to 30% of patients, with higher frequency in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). Recent years have seen a growing interest in the pulmonary manifestations of ILD-CTDs, mainly due to the widening of the use of anti-fibrotic drugs initially introduced exclusively for IPF, and radiologists play a key role because the lung biopsy is very rarely used in these patients where the morphological assessment is essentially left to imaging and especially HRCT. In this narrative review we will discuss, from the radiologist's point of view, the most recent findings in the field of ILD secondary to SSc and RA, with a special focus about the progression of disease and in particular about the 'progressive pulmonary fibrosis' (PPF) phenotype, and we will try to address two main issues: How to predict a possible evolution and therefore a worse prognosis when diagnosing a new case of ILD-CTDs and how to assess the progression of an already diagnosed ILD-CTDs.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in early December 2019 in China, as an acute lower respiratory tract infection and spread rapidly worldwide being declared a pandemic in March 2020. Chest-computed tomography (CT) has been utilized in different clinical settings of COVID-19 patients; however, COVID-19 imaging appearance is highly variable and nonspecific. Indeed, many pulmonary infections and non-infectious diseases can show similar CT findings and mimic COVID-19 pneumonia. In this review, we discuss clinical conditions that share a similar imaging appearance with COVID-19 pneumonia, in order to identify imaging and clinical characteristics useful in the differential diagnosis.

    Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the temporal evolution of fibrotic-like pulmonary interstitial abnormalities secondary to Sars-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pneumonia detected on chest-CTs of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection. We retrospectively reviewed chest-CTs obtained up to 9 months after disease onset in a group of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and CT features suggestive of lung fibrosis at the first follow-up after hospital discharge. We observed a complete and unexpected resolution of all interstitial abnormalities, including reticulations and bronchial dilatation, in a period of about 6-9 months after discharge. Interstitial fibrotic-like changes detectable in the first months after COVID-19 pneumonia could be slowly or very slowly resolving but still completely reversible and probably secondary to an organizing pneumonia reaction.

    Abstract Adductor longus injuries are usually observed at the proximal musculo-tendinous junction, but isolated tendinous ruptures (i.e., avulsion) at the origin on the pubic bone are uncommon. In this article, we report a new case of isolated adductor longus avulsion that occurred in a young athlete and was treated with conservative therapy. An 18 years old semi-professional football player, in the attempt to reach the ball with his right leg, reported acute pain and functional limitation in his left adductor area. Clinical examination showed tenderness on palpation associated with mild swelling. Manual strength testing of adductor muscles showed weakness and elicited moderate pain in the proximal groin region near the pubic bone. The diagnostic evaluations (ultrasound [3-14 MHz linear probe] and magnetic resonance imaging [1.5 Tesla magnetic field]), performed a few days after the event, showed a complete isolated avulsion of the proximal adductor longus tendon associated with a fluid collection, with a gap of about 9.5 mm from its insertion on the pubic bone. Degenerative alterations (sub-chondral sclerosis, bone edema, erosions, cortical irregularities, calcifications) were found. These findings were crucial in the treatment choice because conservative management is suggested when the gap is below 1 cm and when no important displacement of proximal torn tendon's end at dynamic ultrasound is appreciated. A structured rehabilitation protocol was implemented, allowing the player to come back to his full athletic activity after 146 days. Return to play was allowed when several subjective and objective parameters were fully satisfied (full hip range of motion, pain-free football-specific activities, less than a 5%-10% difference in hip adduction strength between the injured and uninjured legs, advanced anatomical healing of the adductor longus tendon seen on diagnostic exams, and Hip And Groin Outcome Score [HAGOS] scores similar to baseline data). This case report emphasizes the importance of diagnostic imaging and clinical assessments in the management of an adductor longus avulsion with short retraction (about 1 cm). Both imaging techniques are non-invasive and without risks, allow contra-lateral examination and may guide in the treatment choice; moreover, they significantly influence the post-care approach by enabling to fine-tune a safe return to full athletic activity with minor re-injury rate. While US can be used as primary imaging modality, MRI offers a higher level of accuracy.

    Abstract The epidemic of 2019 novel coronavirus, later named as coronavirus disease (COVID-19), began in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has spread rapidly worldwide. Early diagnosis is crucial for the management of the patients with COVID-19, but the gold standard diagnostic test for this infection, the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, has a low sensitivity and an increased turnaround time. In this scenario, chest computed tomography (CT) could play a key role for an early diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. Here, we have reported a confirmed case of COVID-19 with an atypical CT presentation showing a "double halo sign," which we believe represents the pathological spectrum of this viral pneumonia.

    Abstract Atherosclerosis is considered an irreversible process, with crucial contribution of inflammation and immune cells. Impact of cancer immunotherapy on a partly immune-driven disease, such as atherosclerosis, is poorly understood, but preclinical models suggest its worsening on programmed death/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors. In a previously reported cohort of 11 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with nivolumab and pre-existing complicated atheromatous plaques, 3 patients had a dramatic radiologic reduction of aortic plaques while on nivolumab; of these 3, 2 died receiving no further treatment. The remaining patient was an 83-year-old woman with history of arterial hypertension and hypothyroidism who was diagnosed with locally advanced squamous NSCLC. At relapse, complicated aortic atheromatous plaques were demonstrated on scans. The patient was then treated with nivolumab obtaining stable disease at radiological assessment, which also demonstrated almost complete vanishing of aortic plaques. After relapse and interval treatment with chemotherapy, she experienced new development of aortic atheromatous plaques. At further relapse she received atezolizumab, which yielded disease response and new reduction in aortic plaques, until nearly complete resolution. The observation of a repeated improvement of atheromatous plaques on treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors favors the protective role of T cells on atheromatous plaques that is impaired by PD-L1 expression by plaque-associated macrophages. Validation by independent and prospective observation is needed.

    Abstract We aimed to evaluate the reliability of lung ultrasound (LU) to predict admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for transient neonatal tachypnoea or respiratory distress syndrome in infants born by caesarean section (CS). A prospective, observational, single-centre study was performed in the delivery room and NICU of Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Hospital in Bologna, Italy. Term and late-preterm infants born by CS were included. LU was performed at 30' and 4 h after birth. LU appearance was graded according to a previously validated three-point scoring system (3P-LUS: type-1, white lung; type-2, black/white lung; type-3, normal lung). Full LUS was also calculated. One hundred infants were enrolled, and seven were admitted to the NICU. The 5 infants with bilateral type-1 lung at birth were all admitted to the NICU. Infants with type-2 and/or type-3 lung were unlikely to be admitted to the NICU. Mean full-LUS was 17 in infants admitted to the NICU, and 8 in infants not admitted. In two separate binary logistic regression models, both the 3P- and the full LUS proved to be independently associated with NICU admission (OR [95% CI] 0.001 [0.000-0.058], P = .001, and 2.890 [1.472-5.672], P = .002, respectively). The ROC analysis for the 3P-LUS yielded an AUC of 0.942 (95%CI, 0.876-0.979; P<.001), while ROC analysis for the full LUS yielded an AUC of 0.978 (95%CI, 0.926-0.997; P<.001). The AUCs for the two LU scores were not significantly different (p = .261).Conclusion: the 3P-LUS performed 30 min after birth proved to be a reliable tool to identify, among term and late preterm infants born to CS, those who will require NICU admission for transient neonatal tachypnoea or respiratory distress syndrome. What is known • Lung ultrasound (LU) has become an attractive diagnostic tool in neonatal settings, and guidelines on point-of-care LU in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) have been recently issued. • LU is currently used for diagnosing several neonatal respiratory morbidities and has been also proposed for predicting further intervention, such as NICU admission, need for surfactant treatment or mechanical ventilation in preterm infants. What is new • LU performed 30' after birth and evaluated through a simple three-point scoring system represents a reliable tool to identify, among term and late preterm infants born to caesarean section, those with transient neonatal tachypnoea or respiratory distress syndrome who will require NICU admission. • LU performed in the neonatal period confirms its potential role in ameliorating routine neonatal clinical management.
