RESUMO
RESUMEN Objetivo. Determinar la extensión de la afectación pulmonar en pacientes con neumonía por SARS-CoV-2 mediante tomografía. Método. Evaluación retrospectiva en pacientes con evidencia de COVID-19 del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen, Lima - Perú, al inicio de la pandemia COVID-19, entre el 15 de marzo y el 14 de mayo de 2020. La extensión de la neumonía se determinó mediante tomografía con base en la Clasificación de la Sociedad Francesa de Imagen Torácica. Resultados. Se incluyeron en el estudio 485 pacientes. La extensión de la neumonía fue: ausente 1,2%, mínima 4,9%, moderada 20,6%, extensa 27,4%, grave 30,7% y crítica 15,1%. La afectación pulmonar se asoció con edad mayor de 60 años (p=0,014) y saturación de oxígeno ambiental por debajo de 90% (n=372, p=0,000). Conclusiones. Por su extensión, las neumonías por SARS-CoV-2 en los primeros dos meses de la epidemia de COVID-19 en el Hospital Almenara fueron graves, extensas y moderadas en su gran mayoría. La extensión de la neumonía se asoció con edad y saturación de oxígeno ambiental al ingreso.
ABSTRACT Objective. To determine the extent of pulmonary involvement in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia using tomography. Method. Retrospective evaluation in patients with evidence of COVID-19 at the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital, Lima - Peru, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, between March 15 and May 14, 2020. The extent of pneumonia was determined by means of tomography based on the Classification of the French Society of Thoracic Imaging. Results. 485 patients were included in the study. The extent of pneumonia was: 1.2% absent, 4.9% minimal, 20.6% moderate, 27.4% extensive, 30.7% severe, and 15.1% critical. Lung involvement was associated with age older than 60 years (p = 0.014) and ambient oxygen saturation below 90% (n = 372, p = 0.000). Conclusions. Due to its extension, the SARS- CoV-2 pneumonia in the first two months of the COVID-19 epidemic at Hospital Almenara were severe, extensive and mostly moderate. The extent of pneumonia was associated with age and ambient oxygen saturation at admission.
RESUMO
There is compelling evidence of electron pockets, at the Fermi level, in the band structure for an organic zwitterion molecule of the p-benzoquinonemonoimine type. The electronic structure of the zwitterion molecular film has a definite, although small, density of states evident at the Fermi level as well as a nonzero inner potential and thus is very different from a true insulator. In spite of a small Brillouin zone, significant band width is observed in the intermolecular band dispersion. The results demonstrate that Bloch's theorem applies to the wave vector dependence of the electronic band structure formed from the molecular orbitals of adjacent molecules in a molecular thin film of a p-benzoquinonemonoimine type zwitterion.
