COVID-19: time to flatten the infodemic curve

Anastasios Tentolouris et al.

Summary: The large number of articles on COVID-19 are mostly reviews and editorials, with a surge in preprints for fast publication, raising concerns about the quality of manuscripts. The pandemic has also seen a high number of retracted articles, with media, individuals, and policymakers all playing a role in spreading misinformation. Well-designed studies are crucial to combat the infodemic and address COVID-19 prevention, diagnosis, and long-term complications.

Clinical laboratory evaluation of COVID-19

Zhufeng Chen et al.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a highly infectious disease where clinical laboratory detection plays a crucial role. Nucleic acid amplification testing and monitoring specific antibodies are effective for diagnosis and disease progression evaluation. Various abnormal clinical laboratory indicators can signal disease severity and progression.

Endothelial dysfunction and immunothrombosis as key pathogenic mechanisms in COVID-19

Aldo Bonaventura et al.

Summary: The authors suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a prothrombotic state and dysregulated immunothrombosis, leading to severe manifestations of COVID-19. They also discuss potential antithrombotic and immunomodulating drugs for treating COVID-19 patients, aiming to reduce the acute and long-term consequences of the disease by targeting immunothrombosis.
