    Abstract Objective: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is characterized by ossification of ligaments and entheses, and most commonly affects the spinal column. The prevalence of DISH is increasing with age and is considered uncommon before the age of 50 years, with an estimated prevalence of less than 5 %. DISH is known to be highly associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity. We aim to assess the prevalence of DISH among young (≤50 yr.) patients suffering from severe obesity (BMI of 35 kg/m
    Methods: A retrospective analysis assessing chest and spine radiographs (including Computed Tomography, CT) of patients with BMI≥35 visiting the bariatric ambulatory clinic in an academic medical center from 2013 to 2022. Patients included in the analysis were 31-50 years old. Diagnosis of DISH was made according to the Resnick criteria. The prevalence of DISH was calculated. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected and compared between the DISH and non-DISH groups.
    Results: 183 young (mean age: 40.4; 118 females, 64.2 %) obese (BMI median: 40.6; range 35-73) patients were included in the radiographic review. DISH was diagnosed in 33 patients (18.0 %; 95 % CI: 13.1-24.2 %) which was significantly higher than the expected 10 % (Z = 3.62, p<.001); another 8 patients (4.4 %; 95 % CI: 2.2-8.4 %) were considered as "near DISH" (not fulfilling yet the Resnick criteria) as it represents a pre-disease state. Patients diagnosed with DISH were significantly older than patients without DISH (t = 4.54, p<.001), as the prevalence of DISH increased by age (linear association=14.95, p<.001). There was a statistically significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (χ2 = 8.30, p<.004), smoking (χ2 = 4.69, p<.03) and OSA (χ2 = 6.16, p<.013) in the DISH group as compared to their non-DISH counterparts.
    Conclusion: The prevalence of DISH among obese young patients was 18 %, which is much higher than in the general population. Early-onset DISH should be regarded as a musculoskeletal obesity-related complication.

    Abstract Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a catastrophic condition with 24-48% mortality during the first day, if patients are not surgically treated. Due to old age and associated co-morbidities surgeons may be reluctant to operate and patients are administered medical therapy for the end of reducing systolic blood pressure and heart rate. Beta-blockers (BB) are the "medications of choice". Based on physical and physiological considerations, it was hypothesized that BB may actually exacerbate TAAD.

    Abstract Background: In this review we described the values of commonly available HScore laboratory markers in patients with coronavirus-19 (COVID-19)-pneumonia associated cytokine storm syndrome (CPN-CSS) and compared results with those of other forms cytokine storm syndrome (O-CSS) to determine a pattern for CPN-CSS. Twelve CPN-CSS studies and six O-CSS studies were included. CPN-CSS typically obtained a single HScore value (e.g., aspartate transaminase > 30 U/L) while failing all other HScore criteria. A typical pattern for CPN-CSS was revealed when compared to O-CSS: lymphopenia vs. pancytopenia and increased vs. decreased fibrinogen. Findings, other than HScore commonly found in CPN-CSS studies, showed elevated lactate dehydrogenase, D-dimer, and C-reactive protein. Although CPN-CSS studies describe severely ill patients, the HScore markers are typically less toxic that O-CSS.

    Abstract Objectives: To characterize the frequencies of breathing sounds signals (BS) in COVID-19 patients at peak disease and pre-discharge from hospitalization using a Smart stethoscope.
    Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted during the first COVID-19 wave (April-August 2020) in Israel. COVID-19 patients (n = 19) were validated by SARS-Cov-2 PCR test. The healthy control group was composed of 153 volunteers who stated that they were healthy. Power of BS was calculated in the frequency ranges of 0-20, 0-200, and 0-2000 Hz.
    Results: The power calculated over frequency ranges 0-20, 20-200, and 200-2000 Hz contributed approximately 45%, 45%, and 10% to the total power calculated over the range 0-2000 Hz, respectively. Total power calculated from the right side of the back showed an increase of 45-80% during peak disease compared with the healthy controls (p < 0.05). The power calculated over the back, in the infrasound range, 0-20 Hz, and not in the 20-2000 Hz range, was greater for the healthy controls than for patients. Using all 3 ranges of frequencies for distinguishing peak disease from healthy controls resulted in sensitivity and specificity of 84% and 91%, respectively. Omitting the 0-20 Hz range resulted in sensitivity and specificity of 74% and 67%, respectively.
    Discussion: The BS power acquired from COVID-19 patients at peak disease was significantly greater than that at pre-discharge from the hospital. The infrasound range had a significant contribution to the total power. Although the source of the infrasound is not presently clear, it may serve as an automated diagnostic tool when more clinical experience is gained with this method.
