AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the characteristics of COVID-19 patients who also had acute coronary syndrome, involving 228 patients with an average age of 63.23 years.
- Hypertension was the most prevalent underlying condition among these patients, affecting 59.2%.
- ECG findings revealed common abnormalities like ST-T changes and pathological Q waves, with a significant link between tachycardia and left ventricular ejection fraction to in-hospital mortality.
Article Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical features of COVID-19 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). After obtaining patients' demographic and clinical data, ECG and transthoracic echocardiography were performed for all 228 patients. On average, patients aged 63.23 years. The most common underlying disease was hypertension (59.2%). The most common ECG abnormalities in COVID-19 patients with ACS were ST-T changes and pathological Q wave, and 12.3% experienced atrial fibrillation. According to the Multiple logistic regression analysis, a significant relationship between on admission tachycardia and left ventricular ejection fraction with in-hospital mortality was found (OR = 24.06, 95% CI: 4.63-125.11, OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.087-0.98).

The "" under this Perspective underline the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships across several disciplines, such as medical science and technology, medicine, bioengineering, and computational approaches, in bridging the gap between research, manufacturing, and clinical applications. Effective communication is key to bridging team gaps, enhancing trust, and resolving conflicts, thereby fostering teamwork and individual growth toward shared goals. Drawing from the success of the COVID-19 vaccine development, we advocate the application of similar collaborative models in other complex health areas such as nanomedicine and biomedical engineering.

Background: Existing risk evaluation tools underperform in predicting intensive care unit (ICU) admission for patients with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to develop and evaluate an accurate and calculator-free clinical tool for predicting ICU admission at emergency room (ER) presentation.
Methods: Data from patients with COVID-19 in a nationwide German cohort (March 2020-January 2023) were analyzed.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of COVID-19 is associated with worse clinical and renal outcomes, with limited long-term data.
Aim: To evaluate critically ill COVID-19 patients with AKI that required nephrologist consultation (NC-AKI) in a tertiary hospital.
Methods: Prospective single-center cohort of critically ill COVID-19 adult patients with NC-AKI from May 1st, 2020, to April 30th, 2021.
Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma after COVID-19 infection: A case report.

Department of Gastroenterology, Mulei County People's Hospital, Mulei, China.
Rationale: Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma (SRH) is a rare but potentially fatal condition, often associated with anticoagulation therapy. With the global prevalence of COVID-19 and the widespread use of anticoagulants in its management, there is an increasing need to recognize rare but serious complications like SRH. This case report aims to emphasize the importance of early recognition and intervention of SRH in patients with COVID-19 undergoing anticoagulation therapy, to improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality.

Measuring virus in biofluids is complicated by confounding biomolecules coisolated with viral nucleic acids. To address this, we developed an affinity-based microfluidic device for specific capture of intact severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Our approach used an engineered angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 to capture intact virus from plasma and other complex biofluids.
