Non-pulmonary involvement in COVID-19: A systemic disease rather than a pure respiratory infection

Mohamed El-Kassas et al.

Summary: During the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the diagnosis was difficult due to the variability of symptoms and imaging findings. Pulmonary manifestations are the main clinical presentations. Scientists are researching various aspects of the disease to better understand SARS-CoV-2 infection. Reports have documented the involvement of multiple body systems and organs, leading to diverse presentations. Specific comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension increase the morbidity and mortality risks.

Nadereh Naderi et al.

Summary: In this meta-analysis, the prognostic value of KL-6 in COVID-19 patients was examined. The results showed that serum KL-6 levels were higher in severe COVID-19 patients compared to non-severe patients and healthy controls. These findings suggest that KL-6 may serve as a valuable and inexpensive biomarker for assessing the severity of COVID-19.

Krzysztof Balawender et al.

Summary: This review aims to present the current understanding of the effects of COVID-19 infection on the male genitourinary system, including potential pathomechanisms, long-term effects, and preventive measures. There is a relatively small number of original studies on this topic, and further clinical trials and case reports are needed to support the conclusions.

Oxidative Stress-Related Mechanisms in SARS-CoV-2 Infections

Joanna Wieczfinska et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in high mortality, particularly in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and COPD. Oxidative stress is believed to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of these comorbidities. Although the exact mechanism of death in critically ill COVID-19 patients is still unclear, lung vasculature injury and loss of lung function are considered crucial. Medications used in COVID-19 treatment that influence reactive oxygen and nitrogen species production may be beneficial. However, oxidative stress is also involved in antiviral immune response, and understanding the redox mechanisms in severe COVID-19 could impact its treatment.

Summary: This study found that poor glycemic control before COVID-19 onset contributes to the progression from non-severe to severe COVID-19. This association was significant in patients with diabetes as well as other risk factors, highlighting the importance of glycemic control in managing COVID-19 severity.

Oxidative Stress and Hyper-Inflammation as Major Drivers of Severe COVID-19 and Long COVID: Implications for the Benefit of High-Dose Intravenous Vitamin C

Claudia Vollbracht et al.

Summary: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and Long-COVID. Deficiency of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is common in COVID-19 patients and may have serious pathological consequences. Intravenous high dose vitamin C treatment has been investigated and shown to improve oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery in COVID-19 patients. It may also reduce the risks of severe courses of the disease and the development of Long-COVID.

Aline Haas de Mello et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection can cause severe respiratory illness, but there is currently no vaccine or specific treatment available. This study found that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can promote the activation of NRF2 in cells, which can improve oxidative damage and lung injury caused by RSV infection.

SARS-CoV-2 Mediated Endothelial Dysfunction: The Potential Role of Chronic Oxidative Stress

Ryan Chang et al.

Summary: Endothelial cells play a crucial role in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 inflammatory pathologies, with dysfunctional endothelial cells contributing to chronic inflammation and diseases like thrombosis and atherosclerosis. Mitochondria in endothelial cells regulate inflammatory pathways through mtROS, which can lead to oxidative stress, senescence, and chronic endothelial dysfunction. This review discusses how SARS-CoV-2 may induce long-term changes in host redox status and endothelial function through mtROS-mediated feedback loops, potentially promoting cardiovascular disease and lung injury post COVID-19 recovery.
