Metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap and euglycemic ketoacidosis in pregnant and postpartum women with severe Covid-19.
Pregnant and postpartum women have a higher risk for developing severe Covid-19 and other clinical and obstetric complications. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap and describe a case series of euglycemic ketoacidosis (EKA) in pregnant and postpartum women with severe confirmed or suspected Covid-19. ⋯ The prevalence of metabolic acidosis and EKA in pregnant and postpartum women with severe Covid-19 was high. This condition should be routinely, so it can be promptly treated.

Comparative Study
Right versus left thoracic approach esophagectomy for patients with neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of left thoracic approach (LTA) and right thoracic approach (RTA) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT). ⋯ There was no difference in postoperative complications and short-term survival in patients with ESCC underwent surgery after NICT regardless of left or right thoracic approach. It is worth noting that lymphovascular invasion has an important impact on the prognosis of these patients.
