Outcomes of Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 Receiving Organ Support Therapies: The International Viral Infection and Respiratory Illness Universal Study Registry

Martin, Ognjen Gajic, Allan J. Walkey, Rahul Kashyap

Summary: This study aimed to describe the outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in a multicenter, international registry. Age and type of organ support therapies were found to affect the prognosis of patients, with significant variations in hospital mortality and discharge rates among different groups receiving organ support therapies. Interhospital variation in mortality of mechanically ventilated patients was not solely attributed to patient characteristics, suggesting the need for further evaluation.

Summary: The Surviving Sepsis Campaign Coronavirus Disease 2019 panel issued nine statements on managing severe or critical coronavirus disease 2019 in the ICU, including recommendations for systemic corticosteroids and venous thromboprophylaxis while strongly advising against the use of hydroxychloroquine. The panel also made suggestions for the use of dexamethasone, remdesivir, convalescent plasma, and therapeutic anticoagulation, based on the available evidence.

Tekwani, Greg S. Martin, Guillermo Umpierrez, Shivani Agarwal, Kathleen Dungan, Francisco J. Pasquel

Summary: The study shows that a hybrid protocol integrating CGM and POC is helpful for managing critically ill patients with COVID-19 requiring insulin infusion. Sensor accuracy is impacted by mechanical interferences, but the majority of sensor values are within 20% of reference POC glucose levels.

Summary: This study aims to explore the association between time period of hospitalization and hospital mortality among critically ill adults with coronavirus disease 2019. The study found that the risk of death was highest for patients admitted during the fall and winter of 2020. Hospital mortality was associated with preexisting risk factors, clinical status at ICU admission, and ICU interventions.

A scalable workflow to characterize the human exposome

Summary: The authors have developed a workflow for mass spectrometry-based untargeted exposome profiling of both known and unknown environmental chemicals. The method addresses the challenge of complementing the genome with an understanding of the human exposome and overcomes limitations in targeted environmental chemical analysis. This approach allows for quantification of environmental chemicals in human samples with high resolution and sensitivity, without the need for prior knowledge of chemical identity.

Wang, Erika A. Tyburski, Greg S. Martin, Wilbur A. Lam

Summary: Though there has been progress in rapid COVID-19 testing technology, challenges remain in accurately detecting viral variants and implementing self-testing at home. Research indicates that BinaxNOW can detect various new variants, but sensitivity may decrease due to user error.

Impact of repeated nasal sampling on detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2

Summary: The impact of repeated sample collection on COVID-19 test performance is unknown. The study found high concordance between consecutively collected mid-turbinate samples with both molecular and antigen-based diagnostic assays. This demonstrates that repeated sample collection does not decrease COVID-19 test performance, allowing for multiple samples to be collected for assay validation and clinical diagnosis.

Summary: In this study, the disease-modifying effects of high-dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) on sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were investigated. It was found that HDIVC infusion could attenuate cell-free DNA and syndecan-1 levels, which are biomarkers associated with sepsis-induced ARDS.

Lessons Learned from In-Person Conferences in the Times of COVID-19

Maryam Ehteshami, Carlos Leon Edgar, Lucia Yunuen Delgado Ayala, Michael Hagan, Greg S. Martin, Wilbur Lam, Raymond F. Schinazi

Summary: Scientific societies and conference secretariats have resumed in-person meetings with COVID-19 safety measures in place. The MEX-DART case study conducted at the Hep-DART 2021 conference highlighted the successful implementation of safety measures, including vaccination requirements, social distancing, mask wearing, and daily rapid testing. None of the 166 delegates tested positive during the conference, but two delegates tested positive after the conference, suggesting they contracted the virus during their travels or postconference vacation. This case study serves as a helpful template for organizing future in-person meetings, but caution is still necessary due to seasonal surges in respiratory virus infections.
