Introduction: COVID-19 severity and high in-hospital mortality are often associated with severe hypoxemia, hyperlactatemia, and acidosis, yet the key players driving this association remain unclear. It is generally assumed that organ damage causes toxic acidosis, but since neutrophil numbers in severe COVID-19 can exceed 80% of the total circulating leukocytes, we asked if metabolic acidosis mediated by the glycolytic neutrophils is associated with lung damage and impaired oxygen delivery in critically ill patients.
Methods: Based on prospective mortality outcome, critically ill COVID-19 patients were divided into ICU- survivors and ICU-non-survivors.

The mechanisms of oxygen diffusion in brain capillaries have not been fully clarified to date. According to the laws of physics, the well-documented phenomenon of hyperoxemia-induced excessive increases in brain tissue oxygen pressure (PbtO2) contradicts traditional models of cerebral capillary oxygen diffusion. Circulating models predict a significant drop in oxygen pressure (PO2), and some of them foresee the presence of hypoxic or anoxic corners near the capillary end, regardless of high PbtO2 levels.

Introduction: Severe hypoxemia is the leading cause of admission in intensive care (ICU) in patients with COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In these patients, several studies reported a left shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve associated with a lower mortality. However, these results are conflicting, as these studies include few patients and often no control groups.

Purpose: The shape and position of the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) is of critical importance in medicine, as it determines the uptake of O in the lungs and the delivery of O to the tissues. Numerous reports have identified affinity-modulating effects of drugs in humans. Such effects may be relevant to conditions such as pulmonary diffusion disorders, peripheral vascular disease, or coronary artery disease.

Solution and gas-phase measurements can provide valuable insights into biomolecular conformational dynamics. By comparing the data from such experiments, it is possible to elucidate the nature of the interactions governing a biomolecule's stability. Here, we measured human, bovine, and porcine hemoglobin stability in solution and the gas phase using collision-induced dissociation, collision-induced unfolding, surface-induced dissociation, and temperature-controlled nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry.
