Review
Bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles on video laryngoscope from 2011 to 2022.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Nirmatrelvir for Vaccinated or Unvaccinated Adult Outpatients with Covid-19.
Nirmatrelvir in combination with ritonavir is an antiviral treatment for mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). The efficacy of this treatment in patients who are at standard risk for severe Covid-19 or who are fully vaccinated and have at least one risk factor for severe Covid-19 has not been established. ⋯ The time to sustained alleviation of all signs and symptoms of Covid-19 did not differ significantly between participants who received nirmatrelvir-ritonavir and those who received placebo. (Supported by Pfizer; EPIC-SR ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05011513.).
