Article Synopsis
- - COVID-19 and metabolic syndrome are interconnected disorders that share common issues, particularly in how they can lead to diabetes linked to COVID-19 due to various bodily dysfunctions.
- - Key functions affected include those in the immune system, gut, pancreas, fat storage, and mitochondria, with important micronutrients playing a role in these issues.
- - The discussion suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may act as a catalyst for developing metabolic syndrome, highlighting the need for early management strategies for both conditions.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine clinical outcomes of older patients with coronavirus (COVID-19) who received a combination of vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin B (DMB) compared with those who did not. We hypothesized that fewer patients administered this combination would require oxygen therapy, intensive care support, or a combination of both than those who did not.
Methods: This was a cohort observational study of all consecutive hospitalized patients ≥50 y of age with COVID-19 in a tertiary academic hospital.
Background: Timely blood delivery to patients with critical bleeding poses logistic challenges. A modern, high speed hospital pneumatic tube system (PTS) is one solution, but blood units may be subjected to high-speed torque and acceleration/deceleration forces.
Objective: To validate a new PTS system for potential use at our 1,400-bed hospital in Singapore.
