Multiple clinical tools exist to estimate the probability of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis. When used with d-dimer testing, these can further stratify venous thromboembolism risk to help inform the use of additional diagnostic testing. Although there are similar tools to estimate bleeding risk, these are not as well-validated and lack reliability.

Research paper thumbnail of Perinatal outcome associated with oligohydramnios in third trimester

J. Somaiya medical college and research centre during the year January 2012 to December 2013 with gestational age between 30-40wks with AFI<5cms with intact membranes were analyzed for perinatal outcome.Results: The Caesarian section rate for fetal distress was 41% in patients with Oligohydramnios. Meconium staining of amniotic fluid was found in 30.7% patients. APGAR score at 5 minutes <7 was found in 6 patients (3.8%).Conclusions: Oligohydramnios has significant correlation with Caesarean section for fetal distress and low birth weight babies. Oligohydramnios is associated with high rate of pregnancy complication and increased perinatal morbidity and mortalit...

The mechanism is still unknown and thought to be related to patient self-inflicted lung injury. Our patient is a 49-year-old male who presented with shortness of breath and cough. A COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction was positive. He required a high-flow nasal cannula, but he did not demand mechanical ventilation. Computed tomography angiography scan of the chest revealed pneumomediastinum. He was managed conservatively, and a complete recovery was achieved. This case highlights the emerging association of COVID-19, patient self-inflicted lung injury, and pneumomediastinum. Furthermore, spontaneous pneumomediastinum should be suspected even in patients who were not mechanically ventilated.
