ECMO in COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Pietro Bertini et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the survival rates of COVID-19 patients supported with ECMO and compared them to influenza patients supported with ECMO. The findings showed that COVID-19 patients on ECMO had a higher risk of mortality compared to influenza patients. The study suggests that ECMO could be beneficial in COVID-19 patients.

Peter L. Elkin et al.

Summary: This study found that the combination of dexamethasone and leukotriene inhibitors (LTIs) showed a mortality benefit in COVID-19 patients, especially for those with O-2 saturations below 50%. The LTI cohort had lower markers of inflammation and cytokine storm.

Summary: The Covid-19 outbreak has evolved into a global health crisis, with the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes exacerbating the risks of infectious diseases. This study provides a synthesis of recent advances in understanding the relationships between obesity, diabetes, and Covid-19, offering special treatment guidance for these at-risk populations.

Benjamin Schwarz et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted over 20 million people globally, with risk factors for severe disease and mortality including age, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Research shows specific differences in immune-regulatory and proinflammatory lipid mediators between moderate and severe cases, indicating an immunolipidomic imbalance in severe COVID-19.

Jenelle Badulak et al.

Summary: The guideline emphasizes the importance of ECMO treatment for COVID-19 patients, recommending the use of V-V ECMO for ARDS. More stringent contraindications should be implemented when resources are limited, and establishing regional ECMO referral networks can help expedite patient referrals.

The immunomodulatory effects of macrolide antibiotics in respiratory disease

Jennifer Pollock et al.

Summary: Macrolide antibiotics, known for their antibacterial properties, also exhibit powerful immunomodulatory effects in the context of inflammatory lung disease. They have shown therapeutic benefits in various lung diseases but inconsistent data and incomplete understanding of their mechanisms of action hinder their use as immunomodulatory therapies. In the context of COVID-19 infection, macrolides have not demonstrated clinically relevant immunomodulatory effects.

A Comprehensive Review of Viral Characteristics, Transmission, Pathophysiology, Immune Response, and Management of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 as a Basis for Controlling the Pandemic

Chris R. Triggle et al.

Summary: Although significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanics of virus transmission and the immune response, there are still unanswered questions about reinfection, susceptibility of the elderly, and whether asymptomatic children contribute to transmission. Uncertainties remain regarding the pathophysiology of COVID-19, variations in clinical presentations, and the phenomenon of long haulers. Currently, there are no highly effective drugs for treating COVID-19, with trials of hydroxychloroquine proving unsuccessful. Remdesivir has shown some success in aiding recovery of severely ill patients, but does not reduce mortality like dexamethasone. However, vaccine development has seen substantial advancements, with several vaccines being approved for use globally.

High levels of eicosanoids and docosanoids in the lungs of intubated COVID-19 patients

Anne-Sophie Archambault et al.

Summary: The study found that severe COVID-19 patients have increased fatty acids and inflammatory lipid mediators in bronchoalveolar lavages (BALs), including thromboxane, leukotrienes, and monohydroxylated 15-lipoxygenase metabolites. Additionally, specialized pro-resolving mediators such as lipoxin A(4) and D-series resolvins are also increased, indicating a lipid mediator storm in the lungs of severe COVID-19 patients.

Role of Hypertension on the Severity of COVID-19: A Review

Mei Peng et al.

Summary: Hypertension is identified as a prevalent risk factor for unfavorable outcomes in patients with COVID-19, but antihypertensive drugs do not exacerbate the severity of the infection, and may even have a beneficial effect. The precise mechanism by which hypertension predisposes to negative outcomes in COVID-19 patients remains unclear at this time.
