Prediction of Mortality in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis Based on the Fibrinogen Mannosylation

Marko Baralic et al.

Summary: As previously reported, fibrinogen fucosylation is a prognostic marker of peritoneal membrane function in ESRD patients. In this study, the ability of lectins and other biochemical parameters to predict mortality in these patients was evaluated. The results suggest that glucose concentration and the signal intensity obtained with GNL are potential predictors of mortality. Increased signal intensity with GNL in deceased patients indicates a potential role of paucimannosidic/highly mannosidic N-glycan structures on fibrinogen in cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

Pathways of Coagulopathy and Inflammatory Response in SARS-CoV-2 Infection among Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Orsolya-Zsuzsa Akacsos-Szasz et al.

Summary: Chronic inflammation and endothelium dysfunction are present in diabetic patients. COVID-19 has a high mortality rate in association with diabetes, partially due to the development of thromboembolic events in the context of coronavirus infection. This review aims to present the most important underlying pathomechanisms of COVID-19-related coagulopathy in diabetic patients.

Fibrinogen and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases-Review of the Literature and Clinical Studies

Stanislaw Surma et al.

Summary: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) are a major cause of premature death worldwide. Biomarkers that can detect and assess the prognosis of ASCVD are highly sought after. Fibrinogen, a protein that increases in concentration in ASCVD patients, may serve as a biomarker for the disease and contribute to its development through genetic polymorphisms and post-translational modifications.

Recovery of dialysis patients with COVID-19: health outcomes 3 months after diagnosis in ERACODA

Marc H. Hemmelder et al.

Summary: Short-term mortality is high in dialysis patients with COVID-19, but longer-term outcomes are largely unknown. A large cohort study found that most dialysis patients diagnosed with COVID-19 recovered to their pre-existing functional and mental health levels within 3 months after diagnosis.

The Efficacy of Fibrinogen Concentrates in Relation to Cryoprecipitate in Restoring Clot Integrity and Stability against Lysis

Claire S. Whyte et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of cryoprecipitate and two fibrinogen concentrates in restoring clot integrity in a trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) model. Results showed that FibCLOT(R) was superior in normalizing clot structure and stabilizing clots against mechanical and fibrinolytic degradation compared to the other treatments.

Nongenomic Activities of Vitamin D

Michal A. Zmijewski

Summary: Vitamin D exhibits a variety of activities, including both classic pathway- and vitamin D receptor-dependent transcriptional modulation, as well as rapid and nongenomic responses. It has cell-protective effects, triggers calcium influx, modulates intracellular processes, and influences mitochondrial function. The mechanisms of these nongenomic responses are still not fully understood, but their impact on physiology, pathology, and potential clinical applications are discussed in this review.

Vitamin D and SARS-CoV2 infection, severity and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Oriana D'Ecclesiis et al.

Summary: A systematic review and analysis of the evidence on SARS-CoV2 infection and Covid-19 in relation to vitamin D deficiency and supplementation showed that vitamin D supplementation is associated with a lower risk of severe disease and mortality. The association is more significant in older individuals and at higher latitudes. Further randomized clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings.

COVID-19 patient fibrinogen produces dense clots with altered polymerization kinetics, partially explained by increased sialic acid

Nina Moiseiwitsch et al.

Summary: COVID-19 patients' fibrinogen forms significantly stiffer and denser clots compared to uninfected subjects, and these differences are at least partially mediated by differential sialylation.

The Role of Obesity, Body Composition, and Nutrition in COVID-19 Pandemia: A Narrative Review

Andrea P. Rossi et al.

Summary: This review investigates the relationship between COVID-19, body composition, and nutritional status. The findings suggest that obesity and the distribution of body fat play a crucial role in the severity of COVID-19. High volumes of epicardial adipose tissue and reduced muscle mass increase the risk of infection and death. Malnutrition is also prevalent, highlighting the need for further research on optimizing nutritional status to preserve muscle mass.

Vitamin D deficiency, secondary hyperparathyroidism and respiratory insufficiency in hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Summary: This study suggests that vitamin D deficiency, especially when combined with secondary hyperparathyroidism, may increase the risk of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients and impact the need for ventilation during treatment.

Serum Phosphorus and Albumin in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis: Interaction and Association With Mortality

Naya Huang et al.

Summary: This study found that patients with high phosphorus and low albumin were at greater risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with low phosphorus and high albumin, while patients with low levels of both parameters had a higher risk of both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. This suggests that low albumin may be a useful marker for identifying higher-risk subgroups of patients undergoing CAPD, regardless of their serum phosphorus levels.

Vitamin D supplementation to prevent acute respiratory infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis of aggregate data from randomised controlled trials

David A. Jolliffe et al.

Summary: Vitamin D supplementation was found to be safe and reduce the risk of acute respiratory infections, especially when administered in daily doses of 400-1000 IU for up to 12 months and to participants aged 1.00-15.99 years. However, the relevance of these findings to COVID-19 is uncertain and further investigation is needed.

Maria Dolores Arenas Jimenez et al.

Summary: The study suggests that the use of paricalcitol, calcimimetics, or a combination of both may be associated with improved survival in HD patients with COVID-19. However, there was no correlation found between serum vitamin D levels and prognosis or outcomes in these patients. Prospective studies and clinical trials are needed to further validate these findings.
