COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). COVID-19 has yielded many reported complications and unusual observations. In this article, we have reviewed one such observation an association between malaria endemicity and reduced reported COVID-19 fatality. Malaria-endemic regions have a significantly lower reported COVID-19 fatality rate as compared to regions where malaria is non-endemic. Statistical analyses show that there is a strong negative correlation between the reported SARS-CoV-2 fatality and endemicity of malaria. In this review, we have discussed the potential role of CD-147, and potential malaria-induced immunity and polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients. Noteworthy, the results may also be due to underreported cases or due to the economic, political, and environmental differences between the malaria endemic and non-endemic countries. The study of this potential relationship might be of great help in COVID-19 therapy and prevention. The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification / Defined Daily Dose (ATC/DDD) system recommended by World Health Organization is accepted worldwide as the standard method of quantification of drug consumption. However, owing to individual variation in body weight, the ATC/DDD system cannot be used for comparison across paediatric population. This study aimed to develop a novel metric system for standard quantification of antibiotic consumption in paediatric population. The standard unit of drug quantification in adult population is DDD/100 patient days (PD). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/zebularine.html We conceived a new unit of DDD/1000 kg-days (KD) where KD is the product of the body weight and length of hospital stay of an individual patient. We simulated the quantification and comparison of drugs in a computer model of five virtual paediatric hospitals (H1 to H5, n=100, 200, 100, 100, 100 respectively). We re-applied the metric system on two, real world, hospital-based, time cohorts (TC) (TC18, n=38 and TC19, n=47) of 2 weeks each, in two size of the study sample. The universal application and comparison across diverse samples can generate useful information for resource allocation, anti-microbial stewardship, disease burden and drug use, and can help in taking policy decisions to improve healthcare delivery in the paediatric population.Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare vascular congenital anomaly yet the most common for the thoracic venous system. Usually asymptomatic, PLSVC is commonly diagnosed when echocardiography or other cardiovascular imaging is performed. Due to venous drainage abnormality, PLSVC is frequently associated with other anomalies of the intrinsic heart's conduction system, leading to tachy- or brady- arrhythmias. We present the case of a patient with 20 years history of supraventricular rhythm disorders diagnosed with isolated PLSVC. Furthermore, we discuss the diagnostic approach providing insights into four-dimensional echocardiography (4DE) evaluation for PLSVC diagnosis, assuming that there is a direct correlation between coronary sinus dilatation caused by abnormal venous return and supraventricular rhythm disorders. We highlight that correct understanding of the pathophysiology of PLSVC will lead to a reduction in unnecessary and potentially harmful testing, to a shorter diagnostic time and to a financial resource saving, as a whole. Over the last four decades, in-hospital mortality from acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has declined. We characterized the patients who died in our cardiovascular intensive care unit (CICU) over a 15-year period. Based on these data, we described the changing patient population in the CICU. This retrospective study compared characteristics of patients who died in our CICU in 2005-6, 2013-4 and 2019. During these 5years, 13,931 patients were hospitalized; 251 (1.8%) died. The mean age of the patients who died was 76years, 144 (57%) were men. ACS was the leading cause of admission (93 patients, 37%), and 145 (58%) patients had a history of heart failure prior to hospitalization. The leading cause of death was cardiogenic shock in 104 (41%) patients, septic shock in 48 (19%) patients, and combined cardiogenic and septic shock in 31 (12%). Patients hospitalized in the later years of the study were significantly older (67.7, 69.0 and 70.5years, 2005-6, 2013-4 and 2019, respectively, p<0.02) but their medical characteristics did not differ significantly between the years examined. The profile of the patients who died did not change significantly over the 15-year study period. Age of admitted patients was higher in later years of the study. The leading cause of admission was ACS and the leading causes of death were cardiogenic and septic shock. Based on our observations, additional skills should be added to the curriculum of cardiology, including the management of patients with multiorgan failure.

Transapical transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) may be a therapeutic option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) excluded from cardiac surgery due to excessive risk. Exclusion criteria frequently include pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The effect of TMVI on RV function has not previously been well-characterized. The aim of this study was to examine the procedural and 3-month impact of TMVI on RV hemodynamics and function. This was a multi-center, retrospective, observational cohort study of patients with >3+MR undergoing TMVI. Pre- and post-TMVI hemodynamics were assessed with right heart catheterization. RV function was assessed at baseline, pre-discharge and at 3-months by echocardiography. Forty-six patients (age 72±9 years; 34 men) with ≥3+MR underwent TMVI over a 5-year period. Successful device implantation was achieved in all patients with abolition of MR (p < 0.001) and reduction in left-ventricular end-diastolic volume (p = 0.001). RV stroke work index (RVSWI) increased intra-operatively (7 ± 4 g/m/beat/m vs 11 ± 5 g/m/beat/m ; p < 0.
