Serum hCG levels in the prediction of molar pregnancy below 11 weeks of gestational age.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum hCG level in the differential diagnosis between non-molar miscarriage and complete hydatidiform mole in<11 weeks gestation. ⋯ Facing failed pregnancies, hCG>16,435 mUI/mL at 6-7 weeks, hCG>64,911 mUI/mL at 8-9 weeks, and hCG >126,278 mUI/mL at 10-11 weeks were most prevalent on complete hydatidiform mole diagnosis. On the contrary, hCG<30,000 mUI/mL at 10-11 weeks was most prevalent in non-molar miscarriage diagnosis.

Observational StudyBacterial coinfections in COVID-19-hospitalized patients.
The aim of this study was to assess the rate of bacterial infections in COVID-19-hospitalized patients and to analyze the most prevalent germs, sources, risk factors, and its impact on in-hospital mortality. ⋯ We observed a high rate of bacterial infections in COVID-19-hospitalized patients, most commonly of respiratory source. Neurologic and oncologic morbidities and need for ventilation and renal replacement therapy was associated with risk factors for bacterial infections. Nevertheless, an association between bacterial infections and hospital mortality was not established.
