Community-acquired respiratory viral infections (CARV) significantly impact patients with hematological malignancies (HM), leading to high morbidity and mortality. However, large-scale, real-world data on CARV in these patients is limited. This study analyzed data from the EPICOVIDEHA-EPIFLUEHA registry, focusing on patients with HM diagnosed with CARV during the 2023-2024 autumn-winter season.

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected individuals with hematological malignancies due to their weakened immune systems, resulting in higher mortality rates and severe outcomes.
- Data from the EPICOVIDEHA registry, which compiles COVID-19 cases from these patients worldwide, was collected from 2020 to 2022, including 8,767 cases from 152 centers across 41 countries.
- Findings show a significant drop in critical infections and overall mortality rates, but hospitalization (especially in ICU) remains a serious risk factor; vaccination is linked to better survival outcomes, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and support for these patients.

A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Edoxaban for the Resolution of Left Atrial Thrombosis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

Chair and Postgraduate School of Cardiology, University of Pisa, 56126 Pisa, Italy.
Available evidence on left atrial (LA) thrombus dissolution in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) largely refers to the use of vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (VKAs), showing >50% thrombus resolution over a 4-week to 12-month treatment period. Available data on non-vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants (NOACs) in this setting are limited and derive from isolated case reports or observational small-sized investigations with dabigatran, rivaroxaban or apixaban. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of thrombus resolution with edoxaban therapy in patients with AF and LA thrombosis.

Introduction: ECHS1 encodes for short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase, a key component in b-oxidation. This enzyme is also involved in the isoleucine and valine catabolic pathways. The literature contains reports of scattered cases of ECHS1 mutation, which show a wide clinical spectrum of presentation.

Background: Who should be tested for viruses in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), prevalence and risk factors for viral CAP are still debated. We evaluated the frequency of viral testing, virus prevalence, risk factors and treatment coverage with oseltamivir in patients admitted for CAP.
Methods: Secondary analysis of GLIMP, an international, multicenter, point-prevalence study of hospitalized adults with CAP.
