The Impact of COVID-19 Disease on Platelets and Coagulation

Geoffrey D. Wool et al.

Summary: COVID-19 infection can lead to a proinflammatory state and abnormalities in the coagulation mechanism, with patients often experiencing thrombosis. Elevated levels of D-dimer are positively correlated with mortality, and patients typically exhibit mild thrombocytopenia.

Farhaan S. Vahidy et al.

Summary: Sex plays a crucial role in the epidemiology and outcome of COVID-19. Evidence suggests that men have a higher likelihood of susceptibility and worse outcomes compared to women. This study from a large US cohort confirms these findings, highlighting the importance of considering sex differences in COVID-19 management strategies.

How do routine laboratory tests change in coronavirus disease 2019?

Cuma Mertoglu et al.

Summary: The routine laboratory tests were retrospectively analyzed in a large group of COVID-19 patients. The results showed that inflammatory markers were often elevated and blood cell counts were often decreased in the ICU group, with lymphocyte count particularly low. Lymphopenia is identified as an important risk factor and diagnostic parameter for ICU admission in COVID-19 patients.

Increased age, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and white blood cells count are associated with higher COVID-19 mortality

Elnaz Vafadar Moradi et al.

Summary: This study found that older age, increased Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and White blood cells (WBC) count were associated with increased risk of one-month mortality in COVID-19 patients. Additionally, patients with SpO(2) < 90% had a higher risk of one-month death compared to those with SpO(2) 90%.

Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the most talked-about topic worldwide, with new data and findings emerging daily. The role of hematologists is increasingly recognized during this pandemic, particularly due to the prognostic implications of hematological findings in COVID-19 patients. Treatment of hematological complications in COVID-19 patients remains challenging due to limited guidelines and the evolving nature of the disease.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes for 7,995 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection

Jacob McPadden et al.

Summary: This study identified older age and male sex as the most strongly associated risks for admission and in-hospital mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. While minority racial and ethnic groups had increased burden of disease and risk of admission, age-adjusted in-hospital mortality for discharged patients was not significantly different among racial and ethnic groups. Ongoing studies will be needed to continue to evaluate these risks, particularly in the setting of evolving treatment guidelines.

The Looming Effects of Estrogen in Covid-19: A Rocky Rollout

Hayder M. Al-kuraishy et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that women have a powerful immunomodulating effect against Covid-19 through the effect of estrogen. Estrogens have significant anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory effects in Covid-19, reducing SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Future clinical trials and prospective studies will help elucidate and confirm the protective effect of estrogen against Covid-19.

Semen quality as a potential susceptibility indicator to SARS-CoV-2 insults in polluted areas

Luigi Montano et al.

Summary: The global impact of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus has highlighted the potential role of high air pollution levels in contributing to outbreaks of COVID-19. Environmental pollutants can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune imbalances, potentially increasing susceptibility to various pathogens, including viruses. Sperm quality may serve as an indicator of environmental damage and sensitivity to virus insults in highly polluted areas, helping to predict the risk of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.

Gender disparity in COVID-19: Role of sex steroid hormones

Anuja Lipsa et al.

Summary: The gender-based differences in morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients may be attributed to levels of sex steroid hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, which play immunomodulatory and cardioprotective roles. Researching the effects of these hormones on viral host factors and outcomes improvement could help understand the impact of gender differences on COVID-19 mortality.
