Relation between macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and computed tomography findings in critically-ill saudi covid-19 patients.

Background: Several, clinical and biochemical factors were suggested as risk factors for more severe forms of Covid-19. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1α, CCL3) is a chemokine mainly involved in cell adhesion and migration. Intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is an inducible cell adhesion molecule involved in multiple immune processes.

Prognostic Significance of Platelet Activation Marker CD62P in Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients.

Background: CD62P is a surface marker for platelet activation. Platelet dysfunction contributes to disproportionate intravascular microthrombosis in SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to assess the clinical significance of CD62P as a biomarker of platelet activation and its correlation to the clinical severity and outcome of COVID-19 infections.
