This study aims to determine the relationship between disc height as objective data and the degree of disc degenerative Pfirrmann score assessed on MRI imaging, the imaging modality with the best current degenerative lumbal disease’s diagnosis. The measurements of disc height and Pfirrmann degenerative degree of the intervertebral disc were performed on a T2WI MRI sequence, sagittal sections of the 1-2 lumbar intervertebral discs to 5-sacral 1 (5 disc levels) using dicom MRI data using the Horos dicom viewer software. Analysis of the correlation between disc height and the degree of degeneration on MRI was performed using the Pearson correlation test. Statistical tests were performed using SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The results were evaluated with a significance value of p<0.005. The results of the Pearson test in the three groups of patients, namely in the HNP L4-L5, HNP L5-S1 and HNP patient groups at both disc levels showed an inverse relationship between disc height and Pfirrmann's degenerative degree which was statistically significant, with values in the L4 HNP group.

“…Pulmonary multi-detector computed tomography (CT) angiography is the gold standard to diagnose pulmonary embolism. 4 The complete coagulation parameters have prognostic value and are important therapeutic targets for patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. These coagulation parameters include activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D-dimer, platelets, prothrombin time, antithrombin activity (AT), fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), and fibrinogen.…”

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism is associated with coagulopathy in COVID-19. It is one of the causes of death in COVID-19 cases and is often underdiagnosed in Indonesia because computed tomography-pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is not used as the gold standard. T Methods: This study used a prospective analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study participants were 45 COVID-19 patients admitted to Santa Elisabeth Hospital, Medan, from January to March 2021. Patients were identified with moderate to severe degrees of COVID-19 and elevated D-dimer and subsequently instructed to undergo a thorax CT scan with IV contrast. The data was analyzed using dependent t-test statistical analysis. The p-value < 0.05 was noted as significant. Results: Moderate to severe coagulation factor values in COVID-19 patients with mean + SD PT, APTT, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and platelets were 14.11; 30.65; 1172.14; 423.56 and 215.822, respectively. In this study, 22 (48.9%) patients experienced a pulmonary embolism, while the other 23 (51.1%) did not. No significant correlation was found between all coagulation factors and embolism (p > 0.05). The mean + SD well score for pulmonary embolism was 0.23 + 0.57. Conclusion: Pulmonary embolism was detected in 22 patients (48.49%) with moderate to severe COVID-19 who developed hypercoagulation as indicated by the thorax CT scan with IV contrast. This case was quite common. In resource-constrained situations, a thorax CT scan with IV contrast may replace CTPA in diagnosing/detecting the presence of pulmonary embolism.
