VV116 is an oral antiviral drug against SARS-CoV-2, known for its favorable efficacy and safety profile. But its application in patients with severe liver dysfunction has not been evaluated. Here, we report a case in which a patient with aplastic anemia and liver impairment (recovery phase of acute liver failure) was infected with SARS-CoV-2. Based on clinical trials and pharmacokinetic analysis about VV116, we initiated a reduced dose of 300 mg every 12 h on day 1, 200 mg every 12 h on days 2-5 for antiviral therapy. Finally, the patient's viral load rapidly dropped to an undetected level, and no drug-related adverse effects were observed.

Genetic factors contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome and subsequent arterial hypertension (AH). The study of the T786C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene in arterial hypertension is important as its correlation with adipokine imbalance is a novelty area to find associations between hypertension development, obesity, and heredity. The purpose of the current study was to investigate serum adipokines levels, depending on the T786C polymorphism of the eNOS in patients with arterial hypertension.

Objectives: Our overall aim was to develop a smartphone app to collect photographic images of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) attacks alongside patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Specific objectives included assessing the feasibility of patients documenting RP attacks using mobile phones, developing image analysis methods to document colour change, and comparing photographic parameters to 'non-imaging' app and paper diary parameters.

Methods: Study 1: 36 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related RP photographed RP attacks over 15 days as well as completing an RP paper diary.

Objectives: To assess if implementing interventions to effectively manage preoperative chronic moderate to severe shoulder pain in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR) can improve shoulder surgery outcomes.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA and SIGN guidelines. Randomized clinical trials (RCT), metanalysis, systematic revisions and cohort studies in Spanish/English, published within the last 10 years, evaluating interventions to control preoperative chronic moderate to severe shoulder pain in patients undergoing RCR and their impact in postoperative shoulder outcomes were included.
