    Abstract Objectives: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a critical complication in severe COVID-19 patients. The intravenous infusion (IVF) of umbilical cord- (UC-) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), validated to substantially reduce the release of several inflammatory cytokines
    Methods: We reviewed the 2020-2022 PubMed literature database concerning the clinical efficacy of IVF-UC-MSCs among severe COVID-19 patients.
    Results: The data of COVID-19 case series in the PubMed literature revealed a notable heterogeneity in the therapeutic dosage (a single dose: 1-10 × 10
    Conclusions: According to our analysis, the ideal treatment dosage of IVF-UC-MSCs for severe COVID-19-induced ARDS is likely 5 × 10

    Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in modern society and closely associated with obesity. Because OSA increases the likelihood of complications in the perioperative period, preoperative recognition is very important for bariatric patients. Polysomnography (PSG) remains the gold standard for diagnosis, but it is a time-consuming and expensive examination. Our study is aimed at identifying practical clinical predictors of OSA for bariatric patients.
    Methods: From April 2006 to December 2007, 101 morbid obese patients [41 men and 60 women, mean age 30.3 +/- 8.5, mean body mass index (BMI) 43.3 +/- 6.9] who underwent PSG before bariatric surgery were retrospectively studied. The severity of OSA was categorized by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as follows: normal, 0 to 4.9; mild, 5 to 14.9; moderate, 15 to 29.9; and severe, >/=30. Chi-squared tests and linear regression models were used to assess associations between clinical parameters and AHI; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: The mean Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) score was 8.2 +/- 4.7, and the mean AHI was 28.9 +/- 33.8 per hour. Of 101 patients, 83 patients had OSA; including severe (32.7%), moderate (17.8%), and mild (31.7%) OSA; 18.5% had no OSA. Patients with severe OSA are significantly male predominant and had higher BMI, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, neck and waist circumference, and ESS scores. In linear regression model analysis, the parameters which positively correlated with AHI were body weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, waist and neck circumferences, and the scores of ESS. Multivariate analysis confirmed that BMI, neck circumference, and scores of ESS are independent predictors of the increasing of AHI.
    Conclusions: OSA is highly prevalent (82.2%) in Asian bariatric patients. BMI, neck circumference, and scores of ESS are independent predictors of OSA in these patients.

    Abstract Objective: To provide a clue for screening severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a highly transmissible disease with health care workers at particular risk, in the early stage from an otolaryngological perspective.
    Design: Prospective study.
    Setting: Community hospital.
    Patients: Between April 17 and April 26, 2003, 32 consecutive patients with SARS were encountered. Investigation consisted of local examination of ear, nose, and throat fields; palpation of the nuchal areas; and plain chest radiography. Analyses of throat swab samples using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction were conducted.
    Results: Clinical manifestations included fever in 31 patients (97%), followed by cough, dyspnea, chill, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, rhinorrhea, and otalgia. Neither the pharyngeal wall nor the tonsillar area demonstrated hyperemia. There was no lymphadenopathy in the neck. Plain chest radiographs revealed consolidation in 25 (78%) of 32 patients. Results of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis targeting the novel coronavirus present in throat swab samples were positive in 19 (66%) of 29 patients tested. Twenty-eight patients required supplemental oxygen, and 14 patients were intubated with mechanical ventilation. Twenty-eight patients survived and 4 patients died.
    Conclusions: When presented with a patient with flulike symptoms such as fever and/or cough, but no pharyngeal hyperemia or neck lymphadenopathy, physicians should be alerted to the possibility of SARS. In contrast, evidence of inflammatory signs in the otolaryngological field may explain the flulike symptoms, and serve as a differential diagnostic tool between influenza and SARS.
