Biological markers and follow-up after discharge home of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical course of patients discharged from our emergency departament (ED) with pneumonia symptoms compatible with a diagnosis of COVID-19.

Material And Methods: We followed 102 patients discharged home with a diagnosis of pneumonia compatible with COVID19 between March 12 and 21, 2020, in our hospital in the southern part of the autonomous community of Madrid. Descriptive statistics (medians and interquartile ranges or frequencies, as appropriate) were compiled for the main variables.

Development of the Conceptualization of Pain Questionnaire: A Measure to Study How Children Conceptualize Pain.

(1) Background: Research has shown that thoughts about pain are important for the management of chronic pain in children. In order to monitor changes in thoughts about pain over time and evaluate the efficacy of treatments, we need valid and reliable measures. The aims of this study were to develop a questionnaire to assess a child's concept of pain and to evaluate its psychometric properties; (2) Methods: This is a cross-sectional, two-phase, mixed-method study.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol increase and non-cardiovascular mortality: a meta-analysis.

Context: Many observational prospective studies have confirmed the inverse relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and coronary heart disease. However, the potential benefit of the pharmacological increase in HDL cholesterol has not been clearly demonstrated. Moreover, in some interventions an increase in total mortality has been reported.

Association between joint hypermobility syndrome and panic disorder: a case-control study.

Background: A significant association between joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) and panic disorder was observed in a sample of rheumatology outpatients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether JHS is more frequent in panic-disorder than in control subjects.

Method: The authors conducted a case-control study comparing 55 untreated patients with panic disorder and three matched-control groups: psychiatric patients, fibromyalgia patients, and healthy persons.
