Multicenter Study
Serum Hydrogen Sulfide and Outcome Association in Pneumonia by the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirusxs.
The pneumonia of COVID-19 illness has often a subtle initial presentation making mandatory the use of biomarkers for evaluation of severity and prediction of final patient disposition. We evaluated the use of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) for the outcome of COVID-19 pneumonia. ⋯ It is concluded that H2S is a potential marker for severity and final outcome of pneumonia by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Its correlation with IL-6 suggests anti-inflammatory properties.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Pentraxin-3, troponin T, N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide in septic patients.
To investigate the behavior of pentraxin-3 (PTX3), troponin T (hsTnT), N-terminal pro-B type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in sepsis and their relationships with sepsis severity and oxygen transport/utilization impairment. ⋯ The selected biomarkers seem related to different mechanisms during sepsis: PTX3 to sepsis severity, hsTnT to impaired oxygen transport, NT-proBNP to sepsis severity, oxygen transport, and aggressive fluid strategy.

Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) for Use in Temporizing Intra-Abdominal and Pelvic Hemorrhage: Physiologic Sequelae and Considerations.
REBOA has been used for several years by acute care surgeons for temporization of intra-abdominal, pelvic, and junctional hemorrhage. The physiology and consequences of aortic occlusion in these patients are largely unstudied.
