SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Smoking: What is the association? A brief review by Ishita, Gupta

“…Smoking has been shown to enhance the expression of the angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) key entry genes utilized by SARS-CoV-2 to infect cells and induce a ‘cytokine storm’, which further increases the severity of COVID-19 clinical course. …”

Increasing consultant-level staffing as a proportion of overall physician coverage improves emergency department length of stay targets by Dominic Jenkins (9983446)

“…Multiple linear regression, which also adjusted for total on-duty EP n and other operational factors, also indicated LOS benefit from more on-duty Consultants: each additional on-duty Consultant was associated with a shift’s median LOS improving by 5.4 min (95% CI 4.3 to 6.5, p < .0001).</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">At the study site, in models that adjusted for overall on-duty EP numbers as well as myriad other operational factors, increasing numbers of on-duty Consultants was associated with a statistically and operationally significant reduction in ED LOS.…”
