Endocan as a marker of endotheliitis in COVID-19 patients: modulation by veno-v...
Reina-Couto, M; Alves, D; Silva-Pereira, C; Pereira-Terra, P; Martins, S; Bessa, J; Teixeira-Santos, L; Pinho, D; Morato, M; Dias, CC; Sarmento, A"Background and aims: Endocan has been scarcely explored in COVID-19, especially regarding its modulation by veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), hypertension or previous renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors treatment. We compared endocan and other endotheliitis markers in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and assessed their modulation by VV-ECMO, hypertension and previous R...
Evaluation of urinary cysteinyl leukotrienes as biomarkers of severity and puta...
Reina-Couto, M; Roboredo-Madeira, M; Pereira-Terra, P; Silva-Pereira, C; Martins, S; Teixeira-Santos, L; Pinho, D; Dias, A; Cordeiro, G; Dias, CCBackground Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT) are potent inflammation-promoting mediators, but remain scarcely explored in COVID-19. We evaluated urinary CysLT (U-CysLT) relationship with disease severity and their usefulness for prognostication in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The impact on U-CysLT of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) and of comorbidities such as hypertension and obesity ...

Urinary Cysteinyl Leukotrienes as Biomarkers of Endothelial Activation, Inflamm...
Reina-Couto, M; Santos-Oliveira, M; Pereira-Terra, P; Silva-Pereira, C; Quelhas-Santos, J; Duarte, Á; Martins, S; Serrão, P; Dias, CC; Morato, MCysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT) are potent vascular leakage-promoting agents but have been scarcely explored in human septic shock (SS). We evaluated CysLT at admission and during hospitalization and their correlation with endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, and cardiac, renal, respiratory, and hepatic parameters in SS patients. Blood and spot-urine ...
