Estimation of excess cardiovascular deaths after COVID-19 in 2020
Post-COVID-19 sequelae are a serious concern of public health, as reported by Fang et al. in this journal 1. Furthermore, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is increased after COVID-19 2,3. Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death around the world 4. Therefore, the impact of cardiovascular diseases among post-COVID-19 patients is likely significant. However, we could not directly count the number of cardiovascular deaths induced by COVID-19 because the infection history of patients with cardiovascular diseases after recovery from COVID-19 is not always available.

Focussed Assessment with Sonography in acute Lassa Fever (FASLa):  Development of a point-of-care protocol and description of common ultrasound findings
In acute LF, a newly established POCUS protocol readily identified a high prevalence of clinically relevant pathological findings. The assessment by POCUS required minimal resources and training; the detected pathologies such as pleural effusions and kidney injury may help to guide the clinical management of the most at-risk LF patients.
