Background: Animal models of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) do not completely resemble human ARDS, struggling translational research. We aimed to characterize a porcine model of ARDS induced by pneumonia-the most common risk factor in humans-and analyze the additional effect of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).
Methods: Bronchoscopy-guided instillation of a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain was performed in ten healthy pigs.
Mortality in patients treated for COVID-19 in the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital during the first phase of the pandemic: Derivation of a risk model for emergency departments.

Objectives: To develop a risk model to predict 30-day mortality after emergency department treatment for COVID-19.
Material And Methods: Observational retrospective cohort study including 2511 patients with COVID-19 who came to our emergency department between March 1 and April 30, 2020. We analyzed variables with Kaplan Meier survival and Cox regression analyses.
Objectives: To analyze emergency department (ED) revisits from patients discharged with possible coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Material And Methods: Retrospective observational study of consecutive patients who came to the ED over a period of 2 months and were diagnosed with possible COVID-19. We analyzed clinical and epidemiologic variables, treatments given in the ED, discharge destination, need to revisit, and reasons for revisits.
Objectives: We aimed to describe the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and compare them with those associated with CAP due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most frequent causative microorganism, in a large cohort of patients.
Methods: This was an observational study of prospectively collected data of consecutive adults with CAP and a definitive etiology enrolled between 2004 and 2018.
