Appropriateness use of coronary angiography in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease in Brazil.

The use of coronary angiography has undergone extraordinary expansion during the last decade but an inappropriate rate of its utilization has been reported in 0-58% of cases worldwide. In this study we showed that in a Health Care Organization in Brazil, 65.5% of elective coronary angiographies was allocated in class IIb and III of the AHA/ACC guidelines for coronary angiography for which usefulness/efficacy is less well established or is not useful or may be harmful.

[Pulmonary function testing in bone marrow transplantation: a systematic review].

The pulmonary function test plays an important role in the management of pulmonary complications after bone marrow transplantation. Although its utility in helping to predict the likelihood of developing post transplant pulmonary complications and mortality is not well established, current data indicate that pre-transplant pulmonary function tests are important as a reference for the interpretation of post transplant pulmonary function tests and for identifying patients at high risk of developing pulmonary complications and/or mortality after bone marrow transplantation.
