    Abstract Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic infection with a high global burden of disease. Hyperinfection syndrome is a life-threatening complication that predominantly affects immunosuppressed individuals, such as those receiving corticosteroid treatment. Despite its worldwide prevalence, little is known about the clinical effects of this condition on the feto-maternal dyad during pregnancy. We present a case of placental abruption leading to preterm delivery in a pregnancy complicated by

    Abstract Background: Although biological males and females are equally likely to become infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), evidence has mounted that males experience higher severity and fatality compared to females. MAIN: The objective of this review is to examine the existing literature on biological mechanisms underlying sex-based differences that could contribute to SARS-CoV-2 infection clinical outcomes. Sex-based differences in immunologic response and hormonal expression help explain the differences in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes observed in biological males and females. X inactivation facilitates a robust immune response to COVID-19 in females, who demonstrate a more profound antibody response and faster recovery when compared to males. Low testosterone levels also help explain the dysregulated inflammatory response and poor outcomes observed in some males with COVID-19. Gender differences in health expression and behaviors further compound these observed differences.
    Conclusion: Understanding the biology of sex-based differences in COVID-19 severity and mortality could help inform preventative measures, treatment decisions, and development of personalized, sex-specific therapies.

    Abstract Electronic health records (EHRs) and linked biobanks have tremendous potential to advance biomedical research and ultimately improve the health of future generations. Repurposing EHR data for research is not without challenges, however. In this paper, we describe the processes and considerations necessary to successfully access and utilize a data warehouse for research. Although imperfect, data warehouses are a powerful tool for harnessing a large amount of data to phenotype disease. They will have increasing relevance and applications in clinical research with growing sophistication in processes for EHR data abstraction, biobank integration, and cross-institutional linkage.

    Abstract Introduction: Biorepositories lack diversity both demographically and with regard to the clinical complaints of patients enrolled. The Emergency Medicine Specimen Bank (EMSB) seeks to enroll a diverse cohort of patients for discovery research in acute care conditions. Our objective in this study was to determine the differences in demographics and clinical complaints between participants in the EMSB and the overall emergency department (ED) population.
    Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of participants of the EMSB and the entire UCHealth at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center (UCHealth AMC) ED population across three periods: peri-EMSB; post-EMSB; and COVID-19. We compared patients consented to the EMSB to the entire ED population to determine differences in age, gender, ethnicity, race, clinical complaints, and severity of illness. We used chi-square tests to compare categorical variables and the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index to determine differences in the severity of illness between the groups.
    Results: Between February 5, 2018-January 29, 2022, there were 141,670 consented encounters in the EMSB, representing 40,740 unique patients and over 13,000 blood samples collected. In that same time, the ED saw approximately 188,402 unique patients for 387,590 encounters. The EMSB had significantly higher rates of participation from the following: patients 18-59 years old (80.3% vs 77.7%); White patients (52.3% vs 47.8%), and women (54.8% vs 51.1%) compared to the overall ED population. The EMSB had lower rates of participation from patients ≥70 years, Hispanic patients, Asian patients, and men. The EMSB population had higher mean comorbidity scores. During the six months after Colorado's first COVID-19 case, the rate of consented patients and samples collected increased. The odds of consent during the COVID-19 study period were 1.32 (95% CI 1.26-1.39), and the odds of sample capture were 2.19 (95% CI 2.0-2.41).
    Conclusion: The EMSB is representative of the overall ED population for most demographics and clinical complaints.
