Paediatric appendicitis during the COVID-19 pandemic

Chloe Sheath et al.

Summary: The study compared pediatric patients admitted with right iliac fossa pain during the COVID-19 pandemic with those admitted in the control period. It found a higher proportion of patients diagnosed with appendicitis during the pandemic, who presented later with higher inflammatory markers. However, despite the increased complexity of appendicitis cases during COVID-19, patient outcomes were not significantly different from those in the control group.

On the origin and evolution of SARS-CoV-2

Devika Singh et al.

Summary: The genome evolution of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has played a crucial role in the development of COVID-19, with evidence of ancestral recombination events and natural selection. The spike protein of the virus shows significant signs of evolutionary processes, facilitating its spillover from other animals to humans. The global spread of SARS-CoV-2 has increased mutational variability in its genome, potentially leading to future recombination events.

Clinical laboratory characteristics of severe patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): A systematic review and meta-analysis

Xiang Li et al.

Summary: Men over 50 with underlying diseases are more susceptible to severe pneumonia, while females are less likely to develop severe symptoms. Critical patients are more likely to experience symptoms like dyspnea, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated C-reactive protein, and D-dimer. Diffuse lesions and consolidation in imaging are crucial for identifying severe pneumonia.
