STudy of Alteplase for Respiratory failure in SARS-Cov2 COVID-19 (STARS): A Vanguard Multicenter, Rapidly Adaptive, Pragmatic, Randomized, Controlled Trial
Chest. 2021 Sep 27:S0012-3692(21)04063-0. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.09.024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Pulmonary vascular microthrombi are a proposed mechanism of COVID19 respiratory failure. We hypothesized that early administration of tissue-plasminogen activator(tPA) followed by therapeutic heparin would improve pulmonary function in these patients.RESEARCH QUESTION: Does tPA improve pulmonary function in severe COVID-19 respiratory failure, and is it safe?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Adults with COVID-19-induced respiratory failure were randomized May14,2020-March 3,2021 in two phases: Phase-1(n=36): contro...

Bringing WISDOM to Breast Cancer Care
Dr. Laura Esserman answers the door of her bright yellow Victorian home in San Francisco’s Ashbury neighborhood with a phone at her ear. She’s wrapping up one of several meetings that day with her research team at University of California, San Francisco, where she heads the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Functional dependency and COVID-19 in elderly patients with mild to moderate disease. Experience of tertiary geriatric hospital
Exp Gerontol. 2021 Nov 3:111620. doi: 10.1016/j.exger.2021.111620. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClinical course of COVID-19 may be associated with functional dependency of geriatric patients. Data from the records of patients admitted to the COVID-19 Geriatric Unit were gathered during three months, including background, clinical aspects, time to resolution of infection and functional status. Functionally dependent patients had higher rates of diabetes (p = 0.03) and stroke (p = 0.004), as well as longer time to resolution of infection (p < 0.001), but less respiratory COVID-19 symptoms (p = 0.007), compared to indepen...

Thrombogenicity markers for early diagnosis and prognosis in COVID-19: a change from the current paradigm?
Standard biomarkers have been widely used for COVID-19 diagnosis and prognosis. We hypothesize that thrombogenicity metrics measured by thromboelastography will provide better diagnostic and prognostic utility versus standard biomarkers in COVID-19 positive patients. In this observational prospective study, we included 119 hospitalized COVID-19 positive patients and 15 COVID-19 negative patients. On admission, we measured standard biomarkers and thrombogenicity using a novel thromboelastography assay (TEG-6s). In-hospital all-cause death and thrombotic occurrences (thromboembolism, myocardial infarction and stroke) were re...

Late Breaking Abstract - Management of COVID-19 pneumonia in an enhanced respiratory step down unit: a novel approach
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, patients have received escalated care on specialist respiratory wards outside of intensive care units (ICU) in various forms. We performed this study to review the effectiveness of an enhanced respiratory step-down unit (ECU) during the COVID-19 pandemic at Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.This was a retrospective observational study of patients admitted to the ECU from ICU between April 2020 and January 2021. Data collected included demographics, treatments given and outcomes.We accepted patients to the ECU following level 2-3 care but still requiring speciali...

Thromboembolic events in COVID-19 patients : A Tunisian case series study
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to systemic coagulation activation and thrombotic complications(TC), which may lead to fatal outcomes if not diagnosed and managed appropriately.We aimed to report the incidence and characteristics of venous and arterial thrombotic complications(TC) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and to investigate the predictive factors of their occurrence.A retrospective study including 200 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test, admitted between March 2020 and January 2021 in the pulmonary departement B at Abderrahman Mami Hospi...

Real-time reviews of research findings will help policymakers address global crises such as COVID-19
Real-time reviews of research findings could help policymakers address global crises such as COVID-19, saysthis articlepublished inNature. Living evidence was first developed by Cochrane and an important recommendation for future health emergencies that came out of the recent Cochrane Convenes meetings. According to scientists writing in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, policy missteps will continue to overshadow the global response to COVID-19 because policymakers are overwhelmed with rapidly shifting research evidence. Faced with new challenges such as the Omicron variant, decision-makers can ’t keep up wi...

E-044 Stenting of intracranial stenosis through an angioplasty balloon catheter - A case series
ConclusionDeploying self-expanding stents through an angioplasty balloon catheter is feasible, safe, and can greatly simplify the procedure. The Neuroform Atlas stent is strong enough to prevent immediate recoil of intracranial stenosis after angioplasty.Disclosures A. Takayanagi: None. J. Fields: None. K. Chao: None. D. Rex: None. P.

Mini-Review on SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Neurological Manifestations: A Perspective
CNS Neurol Disord Drug Targets. 2021 Jul 6. doi: 10.2174/1871527320666210706103422. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-19), with its rapid rate of transmission, has progressed with a great impact on respiratory function and mortality worldwide. The nasal cavity is the promising gateway of SARS-CoV-2 to reach the brain via systemic circulatory distribution. Recent reports have revealed that the loss of involuntary process of breathing control into the brainstem that results in death is a signal of neurological involvement. Early neurologica...

These Charts Show That COVID-19 is Still the Pandemic of the Unvaccinated
Over the summer of 2021, as the Delta variant swept the nation, Americans’ experience with COVID-19 bifurcated. Among vaccinated people, cases were low and deaths were rare; at the same time, people with no immunity were getting sick and dying at alarming rates. COVID-19 became the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Then in December, Omicron showed up. Cases have surged in recent weeks, blowing past records set during the Delta wave. Driving this trend is Omicron’s extremely high transmissibility, compounded by waning immunity among vaccinated people who are experiencing symptomatic breakthrough infections. With cas...
