Article Synopsis
- - Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a group of disorders where small blood vessel clotting causes organ damage, including conditions like thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), each with unique causes and impacts on health.
- - In TMA, inflammation leads to endothelial damage and activates platelet and coagulation processes, often linked to low ADAMTS13 enzyme levels, particularly in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, which raises thrombotic risk by increasing the VWF/ADAMTS13 ratio.
- - Treatment focuses on diagnosing the specific cause and may include therapies to inhibit complement activation, supportive care, and plasmapheresis
Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive patients often develop atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), and conduction disorders. The manifestation of ventricular cardiac arrhythmias accentuates the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the cohort of 1,614 patients admitted for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The introduction of AlphaFold 2 has spurred a revolution in modelling the structure of proteins and their interactions, enabling a huge range of applications in protein modelling and design. Here we describe our AlphaFold 3 model with a substantially updated diffusion-based architecture that is capable of predicting the joint structure of complexes including proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, ions and modified residues. The new AlphaFold model demonstrates substantially improved accuracy over many previous specialized tools: far greater accuracy for protein-ligand interactions compared with state-of-the-art docking tools, much higher accuracy for protein-nucleic acid interactions compared with nucleic-acid-specific predictors and substantially higher antibody-antigen prediction accuracy compared with AlphaFold-Multimer v.

Studies of cardio-ankle vascular index in COVID-19 patients with considered cardiovascular risk factors have not been conducted.
Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess the association between cardio-ankle vascular index and COVID-19 in hospitalized patients adjusted for known cardiovascular risk factors.
