Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of socio-economic status on respiratory issues in survivors of ARDS due to COVID-19, finding that 40% of patients were socio-economically deprived.
- After a follow-up of 6 months post-ICU, 80% of the 401 patients showed respiratory issues, but socio-economic status did not significantly affect the prevalence of these complications.
- The results suggest that, regardless of socio-economic background, the majority of ARDS survivors experienced respiratory sequelae, indicating the widespread impact of COVID-19 on lung health.
Article Synopsis
- * A new multicentre study, called RECOVIDS, aims to explore how social vulnerability impacts recovery in patients who were hospitalized for ARDS related to COVID-19, incorporating both quantitative measurements and qualitative insights into patient experiences.
- * The study will examine patients admitted to intensive care for severe COVID-19 and track their lung health six months post-discharge, focusing on identifying lung sequelae through various tests and assessing the role of socio-economic status in their rehabilitation process.
Article Synopsis
- Targeted therapies like crizotinib are commonly used to treat ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but adverse effects need to be closely monitored due to rapid drug developments.
- A case involved a 31-year-old woman who developed osteitis, resembling bone metastasis, after 3 months on crizotinib, showing the importance of distinguishing between side effects and cancer progression.
- This is the first documented instance of crizotinib-induced osteitis, suggesting that its action on multiple kinases may lead to unexpected complications like extensive bone inflammation.
