Article Synopsis
- Limited data on COVID-19 in Latin America sparked a study of 333 hospitalized patients in Mexico City to analyze their clinical characteristics and outcomes.
- Most patients were middle-aged men (median age 45), with a high prevalence of obesity (75%), and significant differences in laboratory results were noted between inpatients and outpatients.
- The study found high mortality rates, particularly among mechanically ventilated patients (94%) and a 30-day mortality of 57%, with many non-survivors being young and obese.
Background: Involuntary weight loss (IWL) is associated with a bad prognosis. A causal diagnosis is difficult and the priority is to identify those patients at risk of a serious underlying disease, such as malignant neoplasia.
Objective: External validation of a prognostic index of neoplasia in patients with IWL.
Background: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have accelerated atherosclerosis that can be assessed by the carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) measurement. A prompt hypolipidemic treatment should be a part of the integral management. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of therapy with pravastatin plus ezetimibe on the CIMT in SLE patients.
