Medical Emergencies During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
CONCLUSION: In Germany, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant drop in medical emergencies of all kinds presenting to the nation's emergency departments. A recovery effect began to be seen as early as calendar week 15, but the levels seen in 2019 were not yet reached overall by calendar week 22; only the prevalence of myocardial infarction had renormalized by then. The reasons for this require further investigation. PMID: 32865489 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Diagnosis, Management, and Pathophysiology of Arterial and Venous Thrombosis in COVID-19
This JAMA Insights review summarizes the pathophysiology underlying the thrombotic diathesis characteristic of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and current recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of the most common thrombotic complications in COVID-19, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Successful treatment of intubation-induced severe neurogenic post-extubation dysphagia using pharyngeal electrical stimulation in a COVID-19 survivor: a case report
ConclusionsPES treatment contributed to the restoration of a safe swallowing function in this critically ill patient with COVID-19 and ICU-acquired swallowing dysfunction. Early clinical bedside swallowing assessment and dysphagia intervention in COVID-19 patients is crucial to optimize their full recovery. PES may contribute to a safe and earlier ICU discharge of patients with ICU-acquired swallowing dysfunction. Earlier ICU discharge and reduced rates of re-intubation following PES can help alleviate some of the pressure on ICU bed capacity, which is critical in times of a health emergency such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 and Thromboinflammation: Is There a Role for Statins?
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) showed increased morbidity and mortality rates and worse prognosis in individuals with underlying chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. There is also evidence of possible links among COVID-19, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Emerging evidence suggests a pro-inflammatory milieu and hypercoagulable state in patients with this infection. Despite anticoagulation, a large proportion of patients requiring intensive care may develop life-threatening thrombotic complications. Indeed, the levels of some marke...

Reconstruction of COVID-19-Related Compartment Syndrome With Massive Soft Tissue Necrosis
CONCLUSIONS: Massive rhabdomyolysis resulted in acute tubular necrosis with renal failure requiring hemodialysis. The timing of reconstruction of the sequelae of compartment syndrome in an acutely ill patient is challenging, but optimal timing can result in a successful outcome.PMID:33872203
