Safety and efficacy of prophylactic anticoagulation versus therapeutic anticoagulation in hospital-admitted COVID-19 patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: COVID-19 disease-related coagulopathy and thromboembolic complication, an important aspect of the disease pathophysiology, are frequent and associated with poor outcomes, particularly significant in hospitalized patients. Undoubtedly, anticoagulation forms a cornerstone for the management of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, but the appropriate dosing has been inconclusive and a subject of research. We aim to review existing literature and compare safety and efficacy outcomes of prophylactic and therapeutic dose anticoagulation in such patients.

A Rare Case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis Causing a Pseudoaneurysm of the Aorta.

(SL) is a well-known skin commensal. It is coagulase-negative bacteria that has often been labeled as a contaminant. While coagulase-negative bacteria are not as virulent as aureus, there has been an increasing trend for this organism to be associated with complications commonly known to occur with its more aggressive counterpart.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease: A rare case report from Nepal.

Clinicians and pathologists must be aware of the occurrence of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease, as one of the differential diagnoses of cervical lymphadenopathy.

A nationwide cohort analysis to determine the prevalence of sinus node dysfunction and rates of pacemaker implantation in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been known to have various degrees of cardiac involvement. However, limited evidence exists on prevalence of heart rhythm disorders in patients with SLE who have subsequent pacemaker (PM) implantation. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of sinus node dysfunction (SND) in patients with SLE.
