Association of coagulation function with the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome
CONCLUSION: Poor coagulation function was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality in ARDS patients. The findings implied that clinicians should regularly detect the levels of coagulation-associated biomarkers for the management of ARDS patients.PMID:38636652 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.012 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)

The Role of Blood Testing in Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Chronic Diseases: A Review
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 16:S0002-9629(24)01169-8. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlood tests are vital to prevention, diagnosis, and management of chronic diseases. Despite this, it can be challenging to construct a comprehensive view of the clinical importance of blood testing because relevant literature is typically fragmented across different disease areas and patient populations. This lack of collated evidence can also make it difficult for primary care providers to adhere to best practices for blood testing across different diseases and guidelines. Thus, this review article synthesizes ...

Peripheral biomarkers as a predictor of poor prognosis in severe cases of COVID-19
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 16:S0002-9629(24)01171-6. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe evaluated glycemia and triglyceride, hepatic, muscular, and renal damage markers, redox profile, and leptin and ghrelin hormone levels of COVID-19 patients. We also realized statistical analysis to verify the potential of biomarkers to predict poor prognosis and the correlation between them in severe cases. We assessed glycemia and the levels of triglycerides, hepatic, muscular, and renal markers in automatized biochemical analyzer. The leptin and ghrelin hormones were assessed by the ELISA assay. Severe case...

Association of Pulmonary Function Test Abnormalities and Quality-of-Life Measures after COVID-19 Infection
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with an abnormal PFT, there was no temporal association with HRQoL scores as measured by EQ-5D-5L, GAD-7, PHQ-9, and PCL-5. Among patients with a normal PFT, mobility impairment and anxiety may be associated with COVID-19 infection. Following COVID-19 infection, impairment in HRQoL scores is not completely explained by the presence of abnormalities on spirometry.PMID:38636655 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.010 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)

Pulmonary manifestations of alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 8:S0002-9629(24)01157-1. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency is a widely under recognized autosomal codominant condition caused by genetic mutations in the SERPINA 1 gene, which encodes for alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor. The SERPINA 1 gene contains 120 variants and mutations in the gene may decrease AAT protein levels or result in dysfunctional proteins. This deficiency leads to unopposed protease activity in tissues, thereby promoting pulmonary and hepatic disease. The most common genotype associated with pulmonary d...
