We report six cases of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, admitted to intensive care unit (ICU), for whom bone marrow aspirate revealed hemophagocytosis. We compared their clinical presentation and laboratory findings to those that can be encountered during a hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. These observations might evoke a macrophage activation mechanism different from the one encountered in the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data collected from COVID-19 patients suffering from acute respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. We used transpulmonary thermodilution assessment with a PiCCO™ device.

Background: The clinical efficacy of controlling environmental allergens as a component of allergic asthma treatment remains controversial. Multifaceted allergen reductions appeared to be the most efficient methods. However, they require home visits with indoor technicians.

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to increased cardiovascular risks, yet there's a lack of effective screening for it in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- A study evaluated 53 ACS patients for OSA using polysomnography two months post-heart attack, finding that 73.6% had moderate to severe OSA.
- Those with a high apneic coefficient (≥37%) showed worse heart health, indicated by elevated Troponin-I, NT-proBNP levels, more complex coronary artery disease (SYNTAX score), and lower ejection fraction.
