SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the development of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in infected individuals, who can either exhibit mild symptoms or progress toward a life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Exacerbated inflammation and dysregulated immune responses involving T myeloid cells occur COVID-19 patients with severe clinical progression. However, differential contribution specific subsets dendritic monocytes to ARDS still poorly understood. In addition, role...

Abstract Increased recruitment of transitional and non-classical monocytes in the lung during SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with COVID-19 severity. However, whether specific innate sensors mediate activation or differentiation response to different proteins remain poorly characterized. Here, we show that Spike 1 but not nucleoprotein induce into subsets from both peripheral blood bronchoalveolar lavage samples a NFκB-dependent manner, this process does require inflammasome activation....

COVID-19 has overloaded national health services worldwide. Thus, early identification of patients at risk poor outcomes is critical. Our objective was to analyse SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in serum as a severity biomarker COVID-19. Retrospective observational study including 193 admitted for Detection (viremia) performed with samples collected 48-72 h admission by two techniques from Roche and Thermo Fischer Scientific (TFS). Main outcome variables were mortality need ICU during...

Abstract Background: In-hospital mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is high. Simple prognostic indices are needed to identify at high-risk of COVID-19 health outcomes. We aimed determine the usefulness CONtrolling NUTritional status (CONUT) index as a potential indicator upon hospital admission. Methods: Our study design retrospective observational large cohort patients. In addition descriptive statistics, Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression were performed,...

Abstract Some patients with COVID-19 pneumonia develop an associated cytokine storm syndrome that aggravates the pulmonary disease. These may benefit of anti-inflammatory treatment. The role colchicine in hospitalized and established hyperinflammation remains unexplored. In a prospective, randomized controlled, observer-blinded endpoint, investigator-initiated trial, 240 were randomly allocated to receive oral or not. primary efficacy outcome measure was composite non-invasive mechanical...

Background An association of ABO blood group and COVID-19 remains controversial. Methods Following STROBE guidance for observational research, we explored the distribution in patients hospitalized acute those with Long COVID. Contingency tables were made risk factors using crude adjusted Mantle-Haentzel odds ratios (OR 95% CI). Results Up to September 2022, there a total 5,832 hospitalizations our hospital, corresponding 5,503 individual patients, whom determination was available 1,513...
