Colchicine and high-intensity rosuvastatin in the treatment of non-critically ill patients hospitalised with COVID-19: a randomised clinical trial
Conclusions In this small, open-label, randomised trial of non-critically ill hospitalised patients with COVID-19, the combination of colchicine and rosuvastatin in addition to standard of care did not appear to reduce the risk of progression of COVID-19 disease or thromboembolic events, although the trial was underpowered due to a lower-than-expected event rate. The trial leveraged the power of electronic medical records for efficiency and improved follow-up and demonstrates the utility of incorporating electronic medical records into future trials. Trial registration NCT04472611.

Cerebrovascular accident in a child with precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and coronavirus disease 2019: a case report
ConclusionOwing to the link between coronavirus disease 2019 and hematologic cancers with hypercoagulopathy and the tendency of patients with leukemia to have coronavirus disease 2019 complications, children with leukemia as well as suspected coronavirus disease 2019 must be hospitalized to prevent blood clot formation.

Prevention of neurological complications during COVID-19: a retrospective analysis of the ISARIC4C national cohort
This study is the first to focus on the prevention of neurological complications and strongly supports the continued use of both dexamethasone and remdesivir in severe COVID-19. Our results suggest that the established benefit of dexamethasone on mortality in COVID-19 is not associated with an increased burden of long-term neurological disability.

Impaired coagulation, liver dysfunction and COVID-19: Discovering an intriguing relationship
World J Gastroenterol. 2022 Mar 21;28(11):1102-1112. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i11.1102.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is, at present, one of the most relevant global health problems. In the literature hepatic alterations have been described in COVID-19 patients, and they are mainly represented by worsening of underlying chronic liver disease leading to hepatic decompensation and liver failure with higher mortality. Several potential mechanisms used by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to cause liver damage have been hypothesized. COVID-19 primary liver injury is less common than secondar...
