Background: (1) To determine the prevalence of hepatopancreatic injury in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. (2) To correlate hepatopancreatic injury in COVID-19 with mortality, disease severity, and length of stay in this cohort.
Results: Forty-five thousand three hundred sixty patients were included in the analysis, 62.82% of which had either hepatic or pancreatic injury. There was a significant upward trend in transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin time, bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase, and lipase and a downward trend in albumin with an increase in disease severity. COVID-19-positive patients with hepato-pancreatic injury have a significantly higher mortality (OR 3.39, 95%CI 3.15-3.65) after controlling for the differences in age, sex, race/ethnicity, liver cirrhosis, and medication exposures. They also have increased disease severity (OR 2.7, 95%CI 2.5-2.9 critical vs mild/moderate; OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.3-1.5 severe vs mild/moderate) and longer hospital length of stay (2 days).
Conclusion: COVID-19 can cause liver injury. Mortality, disease severity, and hospital length of stay are increased in COVID-19 patients with hepatopancreatic injury.

Article Synopsis
- - This research examined how deltamethrin affects the health of juvenile Chinese mitten crabs, focusing on toxicity levels and immune responses, finding a 96-hour lethal concentration (LC50) of 7.195 μg/L.
- - After 48 hours of exposure, there were significant increases in various immune-related enzymes and pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as changes in oxidative stress markers and lipid metabolism indicators.
- - Advanced techniques like transcriptomics and metabolomics revealed that deltamethrin disrupts lipid metabolism in the crab's hepatopancreas, affecting gene expression related to lipid accumulation and immune signaling pathways.

Background: Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) frequently complicates the peri-operative period and is associated with increased mortality.
Objectives: We hypothesised that cardiac index (CI) based haemodynamic management reduces peri-operative high-sensitive troponin-T (hsTnT) elevation and MINS incidence in patients undergoing hepatic/pancreatic surgery compared to mean arterial pressure.
Design: A randomised controlled study.

Isoprothiolane (IPT) and tricyclazole (TCZ) are widely used in rice farming and recently in combined rice-fish farming. However, co-cultured animals are affected by these pesticides. To investigate the organismal effects and toxicity of pesticides, crayfish were exposed to 0, 1, 10, or 100 ppt TCZ or IPT for 7 days.
