Article Synopsis
- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe inflammatory condition often triggered by viral infections, with visceral leishmaniasis being a rare but significant cause, especially in tropical regions.
- A 15-month-old girl showed symptoms of HLH, including fever, weight loss, and enlarged liver and spleen, with lab tests revealing signs of anemia and possible Leishmania infection.
- Diagnosing HLH related to visceral leishmaniasis is challenging, and careful treatment is necessary to avoid masking symptoms of infections or malignancies; resistance to standard treatments like amphotericin B is also a concern.
Building on prior research on managerial ownership and firm performance, this study is the first to link CEO ownership to carbon commitment. We examine if firms led by CEOs with substantial ownership are more or less inclined to prioritise reducing carbon emissions than those without such ownership. We find that higher CEO ownership is associated with a lower carbon commitment, indicating that CEOs with more significant ownership do not prioritise carbon emissions reduction.

Methods: COVID-PACT (Prevention of Arteriovenous Thrombotic Events in Critically-ill COVID-19 Patients Trial) was a multicenter, 2×2 factorial, open-label, randomized-controlled trial with blinded end point adjudication in intensive care unit-level patients with COVID-19. Patients were randomly assigned to a strategy of full-dose anticoagulation or standard-dose prophylactic anticoagulation.
