Article Synopsis
- Haemoperfusion (HP) is a blood-filtering therapy aimed at removing harmful substances in severe COVID-19 patients, and this study analyzed its effectiveness compared to standard treatments.
- The study involved 578 patients, with 219 receiving HP alongside a corticosteroid regimen, while 359 received only the standard treatment.
- Results indicated that patients in the HP group required less ventilation and had lower mortality rates, and statistical analysis showed significant differences in outcomes based on various treatments and patient characteristics, highlighting HP's potential benefits.
Background: The involvement of the central nervous system is a frequent yet underestimated complication of diabetes mellitus. Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are a simple, sensitive, and noninvasive method for detecting early alterations in central optic pathways. The objective of this paralleled randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the impact of ozone therapy on visual pathways in diabetic patients.

Moreover, it is unknown whether AKI results from a direct infection of the kidney by SARS-CoV-2 or it is a consequence of the physiologic disturbances and therapies used to treat COVID-19. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of AKI since it varies by geographical settings, time periods, and populations studied and to investigate whether clinical information and laboratory findings collected at hospital admission might influence AKI incidence (and mortality) in a particular point in time during hospitalization for COVID-19.
