Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the development of all manifestations of COVID-19, predisposes to arterial and venous thromboembolic disease. The coagulation system can be activated by various viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. ⋯ Treatment is aimed at the prevention, early detection and timely interventions of all coagulation disorders generated by COVID-19. The recommended anticoagulant is low molecular weight heparin, taking into account creatinine clearance, and if major invasive procedures will be performed, unfractionated heparin is a safe option.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries treated with quadriceps tendon autograft versus hamstring autograft: A randomized controlled trial.
One of the most common grafts used to repair anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is the hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. However, another proposed option to repair the ACL is the quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft. This study aimed to compare the pain and clinical results between patients with ACL injury treated with QT autograft and with HT autograft. ⋯ The patients treated with QT autograft had clinical results and post-operative pain similar to those of patients treated with HT autograft for ACL reconstruction.

Comparative Study
Deceased donation and organ transplantation in Mexico. Analysis of 12 years and seven strategic proposals.
The evolution of the activity of deceased organ donation and solid organ transplantation in Mexico was analyzed for the period of 2004-2018. ⋯ The evolution of the figures regarding the activity of deceased donation and solid organ transplantation during the aforementioned study period explains an increasing shortage of organs for transplants in Mexico, despite an apparent large installed capacity. The national organ donation and transplantation system is ineffective and inefficient.
