Replacement renal therapy in the treatment of patients with a severe course of the new coronavirus infection
Objective: to study the use of RRT methods and their influence on the results of treatment of patients with severe COVID-19. Subjects and methods. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 283 patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care units of Moscow City Hospital no. 40 in 2020 who had received RRT as one of the treatment methods. Results. Frequency of RRT in COVID-19 patients in ICU of Moscow City Hospital no. 40 for 2020 made 5.7% (504 out of 8.711 patients treated in ICU received RRT). In 86% of cases, RRT was performed for renal indications. At the time of initiation of RRT, the studied groups did not differ according to SOFA score. The frequency of using dialysis units with high and low cut-off point in the groups of survived and deceased patients differed significantly. The surgery itself started at relatively the same time from the onset and statistically significantly earlier in the group of survivors from the beginning of tracheal intubation (4.9 ± 0.5 vs 6.8 ± 0.3 days, p = 0.0013). Against the background of ongoing therapy, overall severity of the state progressed in the group of deceased patients to 9.9 ± 0.2 SOFA scores, while in the group of survivors there was an improvement to 6.1 ± 0.4 scores
In-hospital clinical outcomes after upper gastrointestinal surgery: Data from an international observational study
AIMS:
Previous research suggests that patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery are at high risk of poor postoperative outcomes. The aim of our study was to describe patient outcomes after elective upper gastrointestinal surgery at a global level.
METHODS:
Prospective analysis of data collected during an international seven-day cohort study of 474 hospitals in 27 countries. Patients undergoing elective upper gastrointestinal surgery were recruited. Outcome measures were in-hospital complications and mortality at 30-days. Results are presented as n(%) and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
RESULTS:
2139 patients were included, of whom 498 (23.2%) developed one or more postoperative complications, with 30 deaths (1.4%). Patients with complications had longer median hospital stay 11 (6-18) days vs. 5 (2-10) days. Infectious complications were most frequent, affecting 368 (17.2%) patients. 328 (15.3%) patients were admitted to critical care postoperatively, of whom 161 (49.1%) developed a complication with 14 deaths (4.3%). In a multivariable logistic regression model we identified age (OR 1.02 [1.01-1.03]), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status III (OR 2.12 [1.44-3.16]) and IV (OR 3.23 [1.72-6.09]), surgery for cancer (OR 1.63 [1.27-2.11]), open procedure (OR 1.40 [1.10-1.78]), intermediate surgery (OR 1.75 [1.12-2.81]) and major surgery (OR 2.65 [1.72-4.23]) as independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Patients undergoing major surgery for upper gastrointestinal cancer experienced twice the rate of complications compared to those undergoing other procedures (224/578 patients [38.8%] versus 274/1561 patients [17.6%]).
CONCLUSIONS:
Complications and death are common after upper gastrointestinal surgery. Patients undergoing major surgery for cancer are at greatest risk

AbstractParental severe mental illness (SMI) may affect offspring physical health outcomes in multiple ways. Offspring of parents with SMI are at higher risk of developing mental illness. The impact of parental SMI on offspring’s cardiometabolic health and mortality by diseases and medical conditions is still poorly understood.This study aimed to examine cardiometabolic morbidity in middle-aged offspring of parents with SMI. The following cardiometabolic disorders were used as outcome measures: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, coronary artery disease, obesity and cerebrovascular disorders. The study also examined cardiometabolic risk factors including glucose levels, lipid levels, insulin levels and insulin resistance. Another aim of the study was to investigate mortality by diseases and medical conditions in offspring of parents with SMI. The follow-up time was 49 years. The study determined if the risk of mortality by diseases and medical conditions increased among offspring of individuals with SMI compared to a comparison group. The hypothesis was that offspring of people with severe mental disorders have increased cardiometabolic morbidity risk and mortality risk by diseases and medical conditions. The study was prospective with data from both clinical examination and registers. Participants were from unselected population-based birth cohort: The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (n=12,231).Offspring of parents with SMI had increased cardiometabolic morbidity risk. Male offspring had elevated risk of coronary artery disease, hyperlipidaemia, obesity and hypertension. Offspring of parents with SMI had increased risk for obesity, especially offspring of mothers with SMI. Female offspring of parents with SMI had partly increased risk for disturbances in cardiometabolic risk factors. They had increased risk for higher glucose level and waist circumference. Offspring of parents with SMI had no increased risk for mortality by diseases and medical conditions. In fact, the risk for dying in the group of offspring of fathers with SMI was lower than in the comparison group. The study concludes that parental SMI has a noteworthy effect on offspring physical health. However, the impact of parental SMI on offspring physical health is complex issue.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Protsenko, M., Kerkelä, M., Miettunen, J., Auvinen, J., Järvelin, M.-R., Jones, P.

N-terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide is a Myocardial Biomarker in Pulmonary Sepsis and Septic Shock
The objective: to study changes and prognostic significance of the blood NT-proBNP in the patients with pulmonary sepsis.Subjects and Methods. The study included 34 patients aged 54.5 ± 2.9 years with pulmonary sepsis or septic shock. Lethality in the intensive care unit (ICU) was 47.1%. NT-proBNP, procalcitonin (PCT) levels, blood lactate and hemodynamic parameters were registered on the 1st day (stage 1) and on the 4th-5th day of the ICU stay (stage 2). Hemodynamics was assessed through transpulmonary thermodilution. The differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05.Results: At stage 1, NT-proBNP level was 5,220 [1,380‒17,850] pg/ml, did not decrease (p = 0.726) at stage 2 and amounted to 1,760 [631‒847] pg/ml. At stage 1, NT-proBNP correlated with extravascular lung water index (rho = 0.445; p = 0.038) and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (rho = 0.414; p = 0.023). At stage 2, NT-proBNP correlated with PCT (rho = 0.569; p = 0.003), blood lactate (rho = 0.525; p = 0.001), and mean arterial pressure to norepinephrine dosage ratio (rho = -0.422; p = 0.035). At stage 1, NT-proBNP was no predictor of lethality in the ICU: OR 1.0000; 95% CI 1.0000-1.0001. At stage 2, NT-proBNP > 4,260 pg/ml (sensitivity 87.5%, specificity 94.4%) was a predictor of lethality: OR 1.0004, 95% CI 1.0000-1.0008, p = 0.046 (AUC 0.893, 95% CI 0.732-0.974). Any increase of NT-proBNP level (> 0 pg/ml) between stages 2 and 1 was a predictor of lethality (sensitivity 87.5%, specificity 94.4%): OR 119.0, 95% CI 9.7432‒1,453.4241, p = 0.0002 (AUC 0.903, 95% CI 0.751-0.977).Conclusion: Patients with pulmonary sepsis are characterized by a significant increase of blood NT-proBNP. At stage 1, the biomarker correlated with pulmonary hypertension and moderate pulmonary edema and was no predictor of lethality. At stage 2, NT-proBNP correlated with the indices of infection and sepsis severity (procalcitonin, blood lactate, and mean arterial blood pressure/norepinephrine dosage ratio). At this stage, NT-proBNP levels greater than 4,000 pg/mL and/or any degree of increase in blood levels of the biomarker were both sensitive and specific predictors of a lethal outcome. Specific features of etiopathogenesis of BNP hyperproduction in pulmonary sepsis make it difficult to interpret the elevation of NT-proBNP as an indicator of septic cardiomyopathy but does not reduce its value as a sensitive and specific predictor of lethality
Levosimendan Hemodynamic Effects Depending on the Outcome of Sepsis
The objective: to study hemodynamic and clinical effects of levosimendan depending on the clinical outcome in patients with sepsis and impaired cardiac pumping function.Subjects and Methods. the retrospective study involved 31 patients of 52.7 ± 2.8 years old with sepsis or septic shock which were treated with levosimendan at the dose of 0.16 [0.15‒0.17] mg/kg (0.11 [0.1‒0.12] μg × kg-1 × min-1) on days 1–4 of ICU stay. The patients were divided into the following groups: Group 1 ‒ survivors (n = 19) and Group 2 – non-survivors (n = 12). Central hemodynamics was assessed through transpulmonary thermodilution. The differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05.Results. Most of the hemodynamic parameters and vasopressors and inotropes doses had no differences between the groups before levosimendan administration. There were no differences in the cardiac index (3.8 ± 0.3 vs 3.5 ± 0.3 L/min/m2; p = 0.479) between the groups following levosimendan administration, however, Group 1 demonstrated the following parameters to be lower versus Group 2: central venous pressure (7 ± 0.7 vs 11 ± 1 mm Hg; p = 0.005), blood lactate (1 [0.9‒1.8] vs 2.4 [2.2‒3.3] mmol/L; p = 0.04), norepinephrine dosages (0.2 [0.15‒0.35] and 0.5 [0.4‒0.6] ng/kg/min; p = 0.023 ), global end-diastolic volume index (693 [688‒28] vs 870 [779‒961] mL/m2; p =0,0009) and the level of NT-proBNP (1,590 [1,080‒3,160] vs 35,000 [21,400‒35,000] pg/mL; p = 0,0001). Global heart ejection fraction (23 [21‒27] vs 15 [12‒20]%; p = 0.015) and heart function index (6 [5‒8] vs 3 [ 3-4] min-1; p = 0.003) ) were higher in Group 1 versus Group 2. APACHE II >19 (AUC 0.906; p < 0.0001), SOFA > 9 (AUC 0.805; p = 0.0002); heart rate > 114 min-1 (AUC 0.755; p = 0.0095), and index of total peripheral vascular resistance < 1,700 dyn × s × cm-5 × m2 (AUC 0.806; p = 0.001) before levosimendan administration were the independent predictors of death in patients treated with levosimendan.Conclusion: non-survivors patients with sepsis had significantly higher APACHE II and SOFA scores, higher heart rate and lower index of total peripheral vascular resistance before levosimendan infusion. In survivors levosimendan infusion at a standard dose led to a significant improvement in the heart pumping function accompanying by global heart ejection fraction and heart function index increasing and NT-proBNP decreasing. In non-survivors such favorable central hemodynamics changes did not occur, although the cardiac index increased after inodilator administration. Further studies of levosimendan efficacy in patients with sepsis of varying severity are advisable. It is necessary to specify the indications and contraindications for levosimendan administration to patients with sepsis

Isolation and phylogenetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants collected in Russia during the COVID-19 outbreak
Objectives: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) started in December 2019 in China and then spread worldwide over the following months, involving 188 countries. The objective of this study was to determine the molecular epidemiology of the COVID-19 outbreak in Russia. Methods: In this study, two severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains were isolated and genetically characterized. A phylogenetic analysis of all available Russian sequences was then performed and these were compared to the epidemiological data on COVID-19 incidence to evaluate the molecular epidemiology and pattern of virus spread in the territory of Russia. Results and conclusions: Whole genome analysis of the isolates obtained in this study and 216 others isolated in Russia revealed a set of seven common mutations when compared to the original Wuhan virus, including amino acid substitutions in spike protein S and nucleoprotein N, possibly affecting their properties. Phylogenetic analysis of all Russian sequences and 8717 sequences from other countries showed multiple importations of the virus into Russia, local circulation, and several patterns of virus spread. © 2020 The Author(s
