Context: COVID-19 has been associated with features of a cytokine storm syndrome with some patients sharing features with the hyperinflammatory disorder, secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH).
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that proteins associated with sHLH from other causes will be associated with COVID-sHLH and that subjects with fatal COVID-sHLH would have defects in immune-related pathways.
Methods And Models: We identified two cohorts of adult patients presenting with COVID-19 at two tertiary care hospitals in Seattle, Washington in 2020 and 2021.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection is marked by an excessive inflammatory response, leading to elevated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through activation of intracellular pathways like mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Viruses can use the MAPK signaling pathway to their advantage, but the relationship of this pathway to the severe SARS-CoV-2 period has not been fully elucidated. MAP2K4 is involved in the MAPK signaling pathway and affects cellular processes such as cell-cell junction, cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.

Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is an established support option for patients with very severe respiratory failure and played an important role during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Bacteria and fungi can lead to severe infectious complications in critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to describe the microbiological spectrum of bacteria and fungi detected in patients with COVID-19-associated respiratory failure supported with VV ECMO in our center.

Acute and chronic pain play an important part in the care of patients with musculoskeletal diseases. For rheumatologists this represents a frequent challenge. For the management of chronic pain conditions in rheumatology those that cannot be explained by objective tissue damage are particularly important-which makes patients' subjective assessment of pain a central building block of the diagnosis.

Chronic pain is a common problem in rheumatology. Nociceptive pain is distinguished from neuropathic and nociplastic pain. Mechanistically, the former is explained by persistent inflammation, for example.
