Effects of permanent placental injury due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on the feto-placental circulation: a cross-sectional study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of permanent placental injury due to a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on feto-placental circulation. ⋯ Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy causes an increase in perivillous fibrin deposition and villus dystrophic calcification in the placenta.

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.

Genetic association of the BsmI variant of vitamin D receptor gene with risk of morbid obesity.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) BsmI variant in morbidly obese patients compared with healthy normal controls. ⋯ The BsmI variant in the VDR gene may not seem to predispose to morbid obesity in our study population. Further studies with a larger number of subjects are needed to make a more precise evaluation of this relationship.
