COVID-19 pandemic has seen an unprecedented number of patients presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome to the intensive care units all over the world. Between August and November 2022, we performed research on PubMed screening all publications on COVID-19 disease and respiratory failure and its treatment. In this review we focused on COVID-19 most common manifestations concerning lung function. The respiratory infection develops in three broad phases: early, intermediate, and late. The mainstay of the disease is the frequent presence of severe hypoxemia associated - at least at the beginning - to a near normal lung mechanics and PaCO2 tension. The management of symptomatic patients, progressing through these temporal phases, is not possible without understanding the pathophysiology underlying the respiratory manifestation.

Objective: Patients with chronic kidney disease suffer from immune dysfunction, increasing susceptibility to infections. The aim of the study was to investigate air contamination with respiratory viruses in a dialysis unit at a quaternary hospital using molecular detection techniques and to analyze airflow dynamics through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for a comprehensive assessment of air transmission risks.

Methods: We conducted dialysis unit air sampling using AerosolSense™ samplers.

Background: The prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with standard platinum-based chemotherapy was suboptimal, with safety concerns. Following encouraging results from a preliminary phase I study, this phase II trial investigated the efficacy and safety of first-line sintilimab and anlotinib in metastatic NSCLC.

Methods: In this open-label, randomized controlled trial (NCT04124731), metastatic NSCLC without epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), or proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS (ROS1) mutations, and previous treatments for metastatic disease were enrolled.
