Increased 1-year mortality in haemodialysis patients with COVID-19: a prospective, observational study

Sol Carriazo et al.

Summary: The mortality rate of hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 is high and not limited to the initial hospitalization. Defining COVID-19 deaths as those occurring within 3 months of a COVID-19 diagnosis may better represent the burden of COVID-19. The immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in hemodialysis patients is suboptimal and short-lived.

COVID 19 disease independently predicted endothelial dysfunction measured by flow-mediated dilatation

Elif Ergul et al.

Summary: The systemic effects of COVID-19 disease are still uncertain and need further scrutiny. Endothelial dysfunction is responsible for most adverse cardiovascular events. COVID-19 may lead to ED which is a major underlying factor of cardiovascular diseases, and it may worsen the existing cardiovascular disease course. Early detection of ED or prevention through new treatment modalities may improve short and long-term outcomes.

Outcomes of Simplified Lung Ultrasound Exam in COVID-19 Implications for Self-Imaging

Bruce J. Kimura et al.

Summary: This study examined the frequency and clinical associations of lung ultrasound B-lines in acutely ill COVID-19 patients using a simplified point-of-care ultrasound method. The presence of B-lines in the upper chest was found to be common and was significantly associated with disease severity, intensive care, and hospital mortality in COVID-19. Validation of this simplified lung ultrasound method could potentially be useful for self-imaging applications during pandemics.

Hyperacute multi-organ thromboembolic storm in COVID-19: a case report

Sarah Chibane et al.

Summary: This case report highlights a 66-year-old female COVID-19 patient who presented with multi-organ involvement, including livedo racemosa, acute renal failure, and myocardial injury, without respiratory symptoms. Echocardiography showed potential pulmonary microvascular thrombosis or embolism leading to right-sided cardiac overload. Despite therapeutic anticoagulation, the patient developed an acute ischemic stroke and died within 2 days of presentation. The predominantly thromboembolic presentation supports the concept of COVID-19 endotheliitis and the hyperacute multi-organ thromboembolic storm associated with the virus.

Follow-up of renal transplant recipients after acute COVID-19-A prospective cohort single-center study

Nikolina Basic-Jukic et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers investigated the complications occurring after acute COVID-19 in renal transplant recipients. They found that only a small percentage of patients remained symptom-free during follow-up, with many experiencing clinical complications and laboratory abnormalities. Diabetes mellitus and eGFR CKD-EPI were identified as predictors for the development of post-COVID clinical complications. Despite hospitalizations and concomitant problems, most patients showed gradual improvement in their initial clinical problems within six months post-COVID-19.

Summary: Long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome is a poorly understood condition that affects survivors with symptoms like fatigue, dyspnoea, cognitive impairments, and more. The pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatments are still lacking in literature, but potential treatments may include rehabilitation training and repurposed drugs from similar conditions. Further research is needed to substantiate risk factors and treatment options.

Cox regression analysis identified lymphocytopenia, increased lactate, and elevated D-dimers as predictors of mortality. POCUS integrated with clinical and laboratory parameters had high sensitivity and specificity in predicting interstitial lung disease (ILD) during follow-up.
