TL;DR: Abnormal coagulation parameters and high DIC scores correspond to increased bleeding risk in patients with liver cirrhosis in the intensive care unit, and fibrinogen and platelet count were identified as the best routine coagulated parameters for prediction of new onset of major bleeding; however, further studies are required to evaluate the potential therapeutic implications of these findings.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the lung-specific immune response was investigated by profiling immune cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood collected from COVID-19 patients with severe disease and bacterial pneumonia patients not associated with viral infection.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide clinical, histopathological, molecular and bioinformatic evidence for the hepatic tropism of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) showing tropism towards several organs, including the heart and kidney.

TL;DR: Investigation of the characteristics and outcome of critically ill patients with COVID-19 requiring intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission and mechanical ventilation at 15 hospitals in Hamburg, Germany found survival to ICU discharge was 65%, and 56% among patients requiring MV.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prognostic value of lactate levels and clearance in critically ill patients with cirrhosis was assessed, and a lactate adjusted acute-on-chronic liver failure score (CLIF-C ACLFsLact ) was developed to predict 28-day mortality in the derivation and validation cohort.
