TL;DR: In this series of 393 consecutive patients admitted with Covid-19 to two New York City hospitals from March 3 to March 27, a third of patients received invasive mechanical ventilation treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report physiologic and clinical information from a large group of patients with COVID-19 during the first week of mechanical ventilation, and explore differences in respiratory mechanics between those with early mortality and successful extubation.

TL;DR: In this article, a screen of glucoregulatory hormones revealed lower levels of adiponectin in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and COVID-19 status.

TL;DR: The association between obesity and outcomes among a diverse cohort of 1687 persons hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 at 2 New York City hospitals found a J-shaped pattern for in-hospital mortality and the fully adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was lowest among persons with normal weight and progressively increased with higher degrees of obesity.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the window of opportunity for AD preventive interventions in women is early in the endocrine aging process, and hormonal risk factors, in particular menopause, predict AD endophenotype in middle-aged women.
