Background: Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophies constitute the most common inherited dystrophinopathies. The chronic steroid treatment predisposes them to any infection, hence, we sought to determine the current COVID-19 infection in them. We conducted an analysis on a real-world database to identify the effect of COVID-19 infection and identified a case of Becker muscular dystrophy who tested positive for COVID-19. For our analysis, we utilized Cerner Real-World DataTM that was provided through Cerner's HealtheDataLab research tool. Case report:  A 63-year-old Caucasian male with Becker muscular dystrophy, hyperlipidemia, and atrial fibrillation, was hospitalized with COVID-19 infection. Our search revealed June 22, 2020, as the patient's COVID-19 service date when tested positive. The patient received antibiotics and supportive therapy during hospitalization. Intricate details like oxygen requirement, blood gas analysis, and mechanical ventilation could not be retrieved if used. The patient developed complications like sepsis, pneumonia, acute respiratory failure that resulted in prolonged hospitalization. Our data reported that the patient was alive during discharge. Conclusion:  Although patient developed complications during hospitalization, no death from the COVID-19 infection was observed in our analysis.

Significant Difference

Abstract Purpose Delayed cord clamping for at least 60 s is recommended to improve neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there are differences in cord BGA between samples collected after double clamping the cord or without clamping the cord, when blood collection occurs within 60 s from birth in both groups. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out, collecting data from 6884 high-risk women who were divided into two groups based on the method of cord sampling (clamped vs unclamped). Results There were significant decrease in pH and BE values into unclamped group compared with the clamped group. This difference remained significant when considering pathological blood gas analysis parameters, with a higher percentage of pathological pH or BE values in the unclamped group. Conclusion Samples from the unclamped cord alter the acid–base parameters compared to collection from the clamped cord; however, this difference does not appear to be of clinical relevance. Findings could be due to the large sample size, which allowed to achieve a high power and to investigate very small numerical changes between groups, leading to a statistically significant difference in pH and BE between samples even when we could not appreciate any clinical relevant difference of pH or BE between groups. When blood gas analysis is indicated, the priority should be given to the timing of blood collection to allow reliable results, to assess newborns status at birth and intervene when needed.

Measurements of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcCO2) have been used in multiple venues, such as during procedures utilizing jet ventilation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as well as both the adult and neo-natal ICUs. However, tcCO2 measurements have not been validated under conditions which utilize an artificial lung, such cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The purpose of this study was to (1) validate the use of tcCO2 using an artificial lung during CPB and (2) identify a location for the sensor that would optimize estimation of PaCO2 when compared to the gold standard of blood gas analysis. tcCO2 measurements ( N = 185) were collected every 30 min during 54 pulsatile CPB procedures. The agreement/differences between the tcCO2 and the PaCO2 were compared by three sensor locations. Compared to the earlobe or the forehead, the submandibular PtcCO2 values agreed best with the PaCO2 and with a median difference of –.03 mmHg (IQR = 5.4, p < 0.001). The small median difference and acceptable IQR support the validity of the tcCO2 measurement. The multiple linear regression model for predicting the agreement between the submandibular tcCO2 and PaCO2 included the SvO2, the oxygenator gas to blood flow ratio, and the native perfusion index ( R2 = 0.699, df = 1, 60; F = 19.1, p < 0.001). Our experience in utilizing tcCO2 during CPB has demonstrated accuracy in estimating PaCO2 when compared to the gold standard arterial blood gas analysis, even during CO2 flooding of the surgical field.
