Although the relationship between laboratory parameters, radiology, CT scan scan and clinical outcomes has not been well evaluated so far, COVID-19 is still a good challenge for this purpose. These tests can be used to diagnose, monitor, and treat COVID-19. The study was conducted from February 20 to August 31, 2020, following the referral of 340 patients with coronavirus symptoms at Chamran Hospital, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Clinical information of each patient is obtained based on patient information forms when visiting the hospital. Comparison of the relationship between lung involvement in CT scan and laboratory indicators, including biochemical and hematological factors is a suitable and reliable comparison to identify people with Covid 19. Based on the results of this study, it was found that ALT, AST, CRP, NEU, LDH, and Urea could be a suitable diagnostic method in positive RT-PCR for COVID-19. In this study, we tried to investigate the relationship between clinical and laboratory findings with CT-based quantitative score of pulmonary involvement in COVID-19 pneumonia and as a suitable and reliable method in continuing COVID-19 pandemic and diagnosis of COVID-19 infection.

This booklet is a collection of the position statements accepted for the HRI’20 conference workshop “Social Cognition for HRI: Exploring the relationship between mindreading and social attunement in human-robot interaction” (Wykowska, Perez-Osorio & Kopp, 2020). Unfortunately, due to the rapid unfolding of the novel coronavirus at the beginning of the present year, the conference and consequently our workshop, were canceled. On the light of these events, we decided to put together the positions statements accepted for the workshop. The contributions collected in these pages highlight the role of attribution of mental states to artificial agents in human-robot interaction, and precisely the quality and presence of social attunement mechanisms that are known to make human interaction smooth, efficient, and robust. These papers also accentuate the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to advance the understanding of the factors and the consequences of social interactions with artificial agents.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the association between PEAR1 polymorphisms and ischemic clinical outcomes. Materials & methods: We searched the electronic database for articles on the relationship of PEAR1 SNPs and ischemic events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) up to October 2020. Results: A total of 9914 patients with CAD from six studies focusing on 12 SNPs of PEAR1 were included in this study. The A allele of rs12041331 were associated with ischemic events (odds ratio: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.04–1.88; p = 0.03). The AA homozygotes of rs2768759 was related to a higher risk of ischemic events than carriers of the C allele (odds ratio: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.09–3.97; p = 0.03). Conclusion: PEAR1 rs12041331 and rs2768759 are significantly associated with ischemic events in patients with CAD.

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a common cause of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in adults. Prospective surveillance enables collection of representative data on demographic and clinical characteristics. Few data of this kind are available for adults hospitalized with RSV infection. We used active population-based surveillance to identify patients with laboratory-confirmed RSV infection and evaluated demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes. Methods Hospitalized adults ≥ 18 years old residing in a predefined catchment area with ≥ 2 ARI symptoms or exacerbation of underlying cardiopulmonary disease were screened for eligibility during October 2017–April 2018 and October 2018–April 2019 in 3 hospitals in Rochester, NY and New York City. Respiratory specimens were tested for RSV using PCR assays. Clinical and demographic data were abstracted from the medical record. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the relationship of patient characteristics with clinical outcomes. Results 8,217 hospitalized adults were screened and 9.4% positive for RSV infection. Preliminary clinical and demographic data were available for 348 patients including 14% 18–49 years, 28% 50–64 years and 58% > 65 years. Mean age was 68 years and 60% were female (Figure 1). Patients had a mean of 3 co-morbidities, with diabetes (40%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (30%), chronic kidney disease (28%), congestive heart failure (28%), coronary artery disease (25%) and asthma (24%) the most common co-morbidities (Figure 2). Median hospital length of stay was 6 days (IQR 4–10), 13% of patients were admitted to the ICU, 5% were mechanically ventilated and 5% died during admission and 12% within 6 months. In multivariate analysis having > 3 comorbidities, cardiac disease or a lower baseline functional status measured by activities of daily living scores was significantly associated with 6-month mortality. Conclusion The majority of hospitalized patients with RSV infection were older adults with ≥ 3 chronic comorbid conditions. Baseline functional status may be predictive of worse clinical outcomes in patients with RSV infection. These insights into patient characteristics and clinical outcomes will provide information for prevention programs. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract This paper describes the development of anemia in six patients with strictures and anastomoses in the small intestine. The marrow proved to be megaloblastic in three instances, and megaloblastic change is presumed in the other three because of the clinical and laboratory findings, and the characteristic hemopoietic response to liver therapy. Responses to crude and refined liver extracts and vitamin B12 compared unfavorably with those to be expected in Addisonian pernicious anemia; they were similar to the poorer responses often observed in megaloblastic anemia associated with idiopathic steatorrhea. The relationship of the intestinal lesion to the development of megaloblastic anemia is briefly discussed.

VWD shows great variability within and between families. In some kindred the affected persons show decreased amounts of an apparently normal VIIIR:Ag. In others, abnormal electrophoretic mobility of VIIIR:Ag has been associated with a defect in the degree of polymerization. Within kindred, expressivity may be so variable that some transmitters have normal laboratory findings. Detection of linkage between VWD and a clearly defined antigenic or biochemical marker might provide the means to make unambiguous diagnoses and to distinguish between the effects of the multiple genes involved in synthesis of VIIIR:Ag.We have examined 4 VWD kindred, using 23 genetic markers. Individuals were classified for VWD using clinical and laboratory data, pedigree information and 2 statistical procedures: D I based on 3 measures of F VIII activity, and D II which also included bleeding time and a subjective index of symptoms. Using D I, a LOD score of 0.66 at a recombination frequency (θ) of 0.20 was found with GPT (glucose pyruvic transaminase). Using D II a LOD score of 0.50 at a θ of 0.25 was found. Most of the evidence of a VWD- GPT linkage was provided by a single kindred. Using D II, evidence suggesting a second linkage was observed between VWD and GLO (glyoxylase) with a LOD score of 1.03 at a 0 of 0.20, all 4 families contributing.The LOD scores reported are suggestive of linkage and warrant further study. Since GLO relates to Chromosome 6 while the chromosomal location of GPT is not known and since GPT and GLO are unlinked, VWD may be genetically heterogeneous, 2 or more loci being involved.Studies to clarify the relationship of VWD to Chromosome 6 are underway using markers known to be linked to GLO.
