Mashup Score: 6
The variation in the speed and intensity of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and severity of the resulting COVID-19 disease are still imperfectly understood. We postulate a dose-response relationship in COVID-19, and that “the dose of virus in the initial …

Mashup Score: 1Auxora vs. placebo for the treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia: a randomized-controlled clinical trial - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background Calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel inhibitors block proinflammatory cytokine release, preserve endothelial integrity and may effectively treat patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods CARDEA was a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the addition of Auxora, a CRAC channel inhibitor, to corticosteroids and standard of care in…

Mashup Score: 0
Background Whether prone position (PP) improves clinical outcomes in COVID-19 pneumonia treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is unknown. We evaluated the effect of early PP on 28-day NIV failure, intubation and death in noninvasively ventilated patients with moderate-to-severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia and explored physiological mechanisms underlying…

Mashup Score: 2Treatment of COVID-19-associated ARDS with mesenchymal stromal cells: a multicenter randomized double-blind trial - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS–CoV-2)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) causes high mortality. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) have potentially relevant immune-modulatory properties, whose place in ARDS treatment is not established. This phase 2b trial was undertaken to assess the efficacy of UC-MSCs in patients with…

Mashup Score: 6Corticosteroids as risk factor for COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis in intensive care patients - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Purpose Corticosteroids, in particular dexamethasone, are one of the primary treatment options for critically ill COVID-19 patients. However, there are a growing number of cases that involve COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), and it is unclear whether dexamethasone represents a risk factor for CAPA. Our aim was to investigate a possible association of the recommended…

Mashup Score: 2Persistence of live virus in critically ill patients infected with SARS-COV-2: a prospective observational study - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background Research on the duration of infectivity of ICU patients with COVID-19 has been sparse. Tests based on Reverse Transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detect both live virus and non-infectious viral RNA. We aimed to determine the duration of infectiousness based on viral culture of nasopharyngeal samples of patients with COVID-19. Methods Prospective observational study in…

The importance of the dose of #SARS_CoV2 particles for its pathogenicity has been neglected so far. Clinical observations of disease severity in super-spreading events support this view. #Masks may work by avoiding ingestion of high virus concentrations. https://t.co/xyZJV33BS9
