- The effect of environmental diesel exhaust pollution on SARS-CoV-2 infection: The mechanism of pulmonary ground glass opacity. [Review]Environ Toxicol Pharmacol. 2021 Apr 07 [Online ahead of print]ET
- Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are the major components of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and chronic exposure is recognized to enhance respiratory system complications. Although the spread of SARS-CoV-2 was found to be associated with the PMs, the mechanism by which exposure to DEP increases the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection is still under discussion. However, diesel fine PM (dPMs) elevate t…

- The impact of Covid-19 on patients with suspected cancer: An analysis of ED presentation and referrals to a quick diagnosis unit. [Journal Article]Am J Emerg Med. 2021 Apr 02; 48:1-11.AJ
- CONCLUSIONS: As our hospital switched its traditional care to one focused on Covid-19 patients, recognized indicators of healthcare quality of quick diagnosis units were severely disrupted. The clinical patterns of presentation and diagnosis of the pandemic period suggested that mass media-generated mental and behavioral responses with distressing symptoms played a significant role in most of these patients.

- Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Among Hospitalized Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Positive Patients Predict Higher Mortality, Prolonged Intensive Care Unit and Hospital Stays in A Multi-Site Healthcare System. [Journal Article]J Vasc Surg Venous Lymphat Disord. 2021 Apr 06 [Online ahead of print]JV
- CONCLUSIONS: There is a significantly higher incidence of DVT/PE in hospitalized COVID-19 positive patients compared with a non-COVID-19 cohort matched for cardiovascular risk factors. Patients affected by DVT/PE are more likely to have higher mortality, require ICU care, prolonged ICU days and LOH compared with COVID-19 positive patients without DVT/PE. Advancements in DVT/PE prevention are needed for patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection.

- Acute pulmonary embolism in patients presenting pulmonary deterioration after hospitalization for non-critical COVID-19. [Journal Article]Intern Med J. 2021 Apr 08 [Online ahead of print]IM
- CONCLUSIONS: Among patients presenting pulmonary deterioration after hospitalization for non-critical COVID-19, the prevalence of APE is high. Traditional diagnostic tools to identify high APE pre-test probability patients do not seem to be clinically useful. These results support the use of a high index of suspicion for performing CTPA to exclude or confirm APE as the most appropriate diagnostic approach in this clinical setting.
