Background Nucleated red blood cells (nRBC) are precursor of the erythropoiesis that absent from peripheral under physiological conditions. Their presence is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill patients. This study aimed to evaluate predictive value nRBC on mortality intensive care unit (ICU) patients COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Material and methods retrospective, observational cohort analyzed data 206 ICU diagnosed ARDS between March 2020 2022. The primary endpoint was mortality, secondary endpoints included hospital stay lengths, ventilation hours, time courses disease severity scores clinical laboratory parameters. Results Among patients, 68.9% tested positive for at least once during their stay. A maximum 105 µl -1 had highest accuracy predicting (area curve receiver operating characteristic [AUCROC] 0.780, p < 0.001, sensitivity 69.0%, specificity 75.5%). Mortality significantly higher among >105 than ≤105 (86.5% vs. 51.3%, = 0.008). Compared negative blood, those required longer mechanical (127 [44 - 289] h 517 [255 950] h, 0.001), stays (12 [8 – 19] 27 [13 51] d, (19 [12 29] d 31 [16 58] 0.001). Peak Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Simplified Acute Physiology Score, P a O 2 /F i , interleukin-6, procalcitonin values were reached before peak level. However, performance SOFA (AUCROC 0.842, 0.001) considerably improved when score >8 combined.

COVID-19 and Asthma Onset in Children

PEDIATRICS, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 153(5)

Published: April 12, 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Respiratory viral infections increase risk of asthma in infants and children. Infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus can cause lung inflammation prolonged symptoms. We sought to determine whether SARS-CoV-2 infection modified pediatric incident risk. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined children ages 1 16 within Children’s Hospital Philadelphia Care Network who received polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for between March 1, 2020 February 28, 2021. Multivariable Cox regression models assessed hazard ratio new diagnosis PCR positive negative groups an 18-month observation window. Models were adjusted demographic characteristics, socioeconomic variables, atopic comorbidities. RESULTS There 27 423 subjects included study.

Deciphering the Host-Pathogen Interface in COVID-19: The precision molecular insight into epitranscriptomic modifications of high-impact transcripts

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has had a profound global impact since its emergence in late 2019. Characterized wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic infection to distress and death, necessitated extensive research into host-pathogen interactions that drive disease progression. Understanding molecular mechanisms underlying host response SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for development effective therapeutic interventions preventative strategies. This study employed multi-omic approach combined direct RNA sequencing (DRS) Illumina cDNA investigate whole blood transcriptomic profiles patients. By leveraging unique capabilities Nanopore DRS, which provides long-read data, we were able capture not only gene expression levels but also modifications, including poly(A) tail length, non-adenine residue (non-A), pseudouridylation (psU), 5-methylcytosine (m5C) methylation. comprehensive analysis allowed us identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) explore these modifications on function within context COVID-19. Our findings reveal significant alterations patterns, lengths, non-A prevalence psU m5C patients compared healthy controls. These results provide valuable insights complex interplay between viral infection, immune response, processing, contributing deeper understanding pathogenesis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated advances in molecular biology and virology, enabling the identification of key biomarkers to differentiate between severe mild cases. Furthermore, use artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) analyze large datasets been crucial for rapidly identifying relevant disease prognosis, including COVID-19. This approach enhances diagnostics emergency settings, allowing more accurate efficient patient management. study demonstrates how algorithms departments can identify vital prognosis an emerging using as example by analyzing clinical, epidemiological, analytical, radiological data. All consecutively admitted patients were included, than 89 variables processed Random Forest (RF) algorithm. RF model achieved highest balanced accuracy at 92.61%. most predictive mortality included procalcitonin (PCT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP).
