Case Report: Can Inhaled Adenosine Attenuate COVID-19?

This case report demonstrates a small repetition of the case series carried out in Italy wherein inhaled adenosine was administered to patients experiencing severe and worsening coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). The two cases are important not only because they were the first of their type in the United States, but also because both patients were DNR/DNI and were therefore expected to die. Study repetition is vitally important in medicine.

Comparison of Fenestra VC Contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging with gadopentetate dimeglumine and ferucarbotran magnetic resonance imaging for the in vivo evaluation of murine liver damage after ischemia and reperfusion.

Objectives: Comparison of intravenous Fenestra VC-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with gadopentetate dimeglumine and Ferucarbotran contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the in vivo imaging of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) in a murine model.

Material And Methods: After induction of hepatic IRI by left liver lobe (LLL) ischemia (30, 45, and 75 minutes) and reperfusion (4 hours and 24 hours), a total of 130 mice were imaged either by Fenestra VC-enhanced 3-D CT or by dynamic, T1-weighed gadopentetate dimeglumine or static, T2*-weighed Ferucarbotran 2-D MRI (4.7 T).
