TL;DR: Anakinra reduced both need for invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU and mortality among patients with severe forms of COVID-19, without serious side-effects.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of anakinra treatment on mortality in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 pneumonia was assessed by a systematic review and individual patient-level meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The present mini-review successively addresses the concept of ‘tissue’ biomarker, applies it to arterial stiffness, describes the methodology of measurement, gives some pathophysiological links in order to explain the occurrence of stroke and myocardial infarction in patients with high arterial stiffening, and raises the issue of whether arterials stiffness is a surrogate marker.

TL;DR: In this paper, a noninvasive echotracking system was used to measure intima-media thickness, diameter, and distensibility at 128 sites on a 4-cm-long carotid segment.

TL;DR: A PE prevalence in COVID-19 patients is suggested close to 5% in the whole population and to 20% of the clinically suspected population, which seems to be associated with more extensive lung damage and to require more frequently invasive ventilation.
