[PMID: 36300087 PMCID: PMC9589049 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1029830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
COVID-19 infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 is considered catastrophic because it affects multiple organs, particularly those of the respiratory tract. Although the consequences of this infection are not fully clear, it causes damage to the lungs, the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and other organs, subsequently inducing organ failure. In particular, the effects of SARS-CoV-2-induced inflammation on cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment need to be investigated. COVID-19 may alter the tumor microenvironment, promoting cancer cell proliferation and dormant cancer cell (DCC) reawakening. DCCs reawakened upon infection with SARS-CoV-2 can populate the premetastatic niche in the lungs and other organs, leading to tumor dissemination. DCC reawakening and consequent neutrophil and monocyte/macrophage activation with an uncontrolled cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines are the most severe clinical effects of COVID-19. Moreover, neutrophil extracellular traps have been demonstrated to activate the dissemination of premetastatic cells into the lungs. Further studies are warranted to better define the roles of COVID-19 in inflammation as well as in tumor development and tumor cell metastasis; the results of these studies will aid in the development of further targeted therapies, both for cancer prevention and the treatment of patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted the practice of infectious diseases biobanking, as well as existing challenges and opportunities. Thus, the future of infectious diseases biobanking in the post-pandemic era, shall not be an "entry-level version" of its counterpart in non-communicable diseases and large population cohorts, but incorporate the lessons learned. Biobanks constitute a critical research infrastructure supported by harmonized practices through the implementation of international standards, and perceived within the broader scope of healthcare's intersection with research. This perspective paper considers the barriers in biobanking and standardization of practices, as well as the emerging opportunities in the field.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19137897.

Abstract
Empathy deficits have been proposed to be an important factor for intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV perpetrators have shown a differential change in salivary oxytocin (sOXT), testosterone (sT), and cortisol (sC), following empathic and stress tasks, compared to non-violent men. However, the influence of empathic deficits in those hormones after an emotion-induction task in IPV perpetrators remains unclear. We analyzed the effects of an empathic induction task on endogenous sOXT, sT and sC levels, as well as their hormonal ratios, in IPV perpetrators (n = 12), and compared them to controls (n = 12). Additionally, we explored the predictive capacity of empathy-related functions (measured with the interpersonal reactivity index) in the hormonal responses to the task. IPV perpetrators presented lower sOXT changes and higher total sT levels than controls after the task, lower sOXT/T change and total sOXT/T levels, as well as higher total sT/C levels. Notably, for all participants, the lower the perspective taking score, the lower the total sOXT levels and sOXT changes and the higher the sT changes were. Low perspective taking also predicted smaller sOXT/T and sOXT/C changes in the empathic induction task, and higher total sT/C levels for all participants. Therefore, our results could contribute to furthering our ability to focus on new therapeutic targets, increasing the effectiveness of intervention programs and helping to reduce IPV recidivism in the medium term.

Abstract
Background Management of large numbers of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) for diagnosis of coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) requires robust infrastructures, located in dedicated premises with a high standard of biosafety procedures, and well-trained personnel. The handling of a “run-of-river sample” to obtain rapid reporting of results is challenging. Methods We studied the clinical performance of the Idylla™ SARS-CoV-2 Test (index test) on a platform capable of fully automated nucleic acid testing including extraction, amplification, and detection in a single-use cartridge to establish the diagnosis of COVID-19. The study was conducted on a prospective cohort of 112 volunteers with recent symptoms and an unknown SARS-CoV-2 status who came to free screening centers of the Nice metropolitan area. All subjects underwent bilateral nasopharyngeal sampling. One sample was processed using the index test, the other using the standard of care RT-PCR. Samples were treated blind. Results Most of the participants (70%) were sampled within 4 days of symptom onset. Forty-five (40.2%) were positive for COVID-19. No clinical symptoms were distinguished between SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positive and negative subjects except anosmia and dysgeusia. Positive and negative agreement between the index and the standard of care test was 100%. Conclusions The Idylla™ SARS-CoV-2 Test is very sensitive, specific, rapid and easy to use in a near-patient RT-PCR approach to distinguish between symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative patients in selected settings.

Abstract
Cancer patients are highly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infections due to frequent contacts with the healthcare system, immunocompromised state from cancer or its therapies, supportive medications such as steroids and most importantly their advanced age and comorbidities. Patients with lung cancer have consistently been reported to suffer from an increased risk of death compared with other cancers. This is possibly due to the combination of specific pathophysiological aspects, including underlying pulmonary compromise due to smoking history and the increased specific pressures on respiratory healthcare services caused by the related pandemic. Rationally and safely treating patients with lung cancer during the pandemic has become a continuous challenge over the last year. Deciding whether to offer, modify, postpone or even cancel treatments for this particular patient's population has become the crucial recurrent dilemma for lung cancer professionals. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted agents represent distinct risks factors in the context of COVID-19 that should be balanced with the short-term and long-term consequences of delaying cancer care. Despite the rapid and persistent trend of the pandemic, declared by WHO on March 11, 2020, and still ongoing at the time of writing (January 2021), various efforts were made by oncologists worldwide to understand the impact of COVID-19 on patients with cancer. Adapted recommendations of our evidence-based practice guidelines have been developed for all stakeholders. Different small and large-scale registries, such as the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19) and Thoracic Cancers International COVID-19 Collaboration quickly collected data, supporting cancer care decisions under the challenging circumstance created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several recommendations were developed as guidance for prioritizing the various aspects of lung cancer care in order to mitigate the adverse effects of the COVID-19 healthcare crisis, potentially reducing the morbidity and mortality of our patients from COVID-19 and from cancer. These recommendations helped inform decisions about treatment of established disease, continuation of clinical research and lung cancer screening. In this review, we summarize available evidence regarding the direct and indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on lung cancer care and patients.

Abstract
The infection due to the SARS-CoV-2 leads lesions mainly observed at the respiratory tract level, but not exclusively. The analyses of these lesions benefited from different autopsy studies. Thus, these lesions were observed in different organs, tissues and cells. These observations allowed us to rapidly improve the knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with this emergent infectious disease. The virus can be detected in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues using immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, molecular biology and/or electron microscopy approaches. However, many uncertainties are still present concerning the direct role of the SARS-CoV-2 on the different lesions observed in different organs, outside the lung, such as the heart, the brain, the liver, the gastrointestinal tract, the kidney and the skin. In this context, it is pivotal to keep going to increase the different tissue and cellular studies in the COVID-19 positive patients aiming to better understanding the consequences of this new infectious disease, notably considering different epidemiological and co-morbidities associated factors. This could participate to the development of new therapeutic strategies too. The purpose of this review is to describe the main histological and cellular lesions associated with the infection due to the SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
La pandémie liée à la Covid-19 a brutalement bouleversé le fonctionnement des hôpitaux, en particulier les activités des services cliniques et des laboratoires de biologie, notamment de virologie. Cette pandémie a eu aussi une répercussion soudaine sur la prise en charge des échantillons tissulaires et cellulaires par les laboratoires de pathologie. Les conséquences ont été l’optimisation de mesures sanitaires au sein de ces laboratoires, mais aussi selon les institutions, une forte diminution dans différents secteurs d’activité de la pathologie clinique et moléculaire. Ainsi, les pathologistes ont dû s’adapter très rapidement à de nouvelles contraintes sanitaires, et organiser les laboratoires selon des recommandations internationales, afin de maintenir l’offre de soins aux patients hospitalisés, en particulier ceux atteints d’un cancer. Cette revue aborde les principales conséquences de la pandémie liée à la Covid-19 au niveau des laboratoires de pathologie et les mesures prises par ces laboratoires pour assurer leur fonctionnement durant cette période.

Abstract
The histological lesions associated with an infection with the Sars-CoV-2 are mainly observed at the respiratory tract level, but not exclusively. Analyses of these lesions strongly beneficied from autopsic studies allowing us to improve the knowledge of the pathophysiology mechanisms of this emerging infectious disease. Cytological analyses, notably those obtained from broncho-alveolar lavages, poorly contribute to the Covid-19 diagnosis, but can be usefull for eliminate a couple of differential diagnoses. Although non specific, the lesions observed in the pulmonary parenchyma can be directly associated with the presence of the Sars-CoV-2 thanks to ancillary tools allowing its detection. Indeed, the presence of the virus can be detected using immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, molecular biology and/or electron microscopy approaches. Several uncertainties still exist concerning the direct role due to the Sars-CoV-2 in the observed lesions which can be due too to a cardiovascular failure and/or to the treatment(s) received in intensive care units. Thus, it is critical to keep going to increase our efforts for the tissue analyses, notably thanks to the autopsies of Covid-19 patients, in order to better understand the consequences of this infectious disease, and, particularly according the epidemiological factors and the different associated morbidities. An increased knowledge will participate to the further therapeutic strategies against the Covid-19. This review adresses the main histological lesions of the lung parenchyma currently described in patients infected by the Sars-CoV-2.

Abstract
Background This study evaluated the consequences in Europe of the COVID-19 outbreak on pathology laboratories orientated toward the diagnosis of thoracic diseases. Materials and methods A survey was sent to 71 pathology laboratories from 21 European countries. The questionnaire requested information concerning the organization of biosafety, the clinical and molecular pathology, the biobanking, the workload, the associated research into COVID-19, and the organization of education and training during the COVID-19 crisis, from 15 March to 31 May 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. Results Questionnaires were returned from 53/71 (75%) laboratories from 18 European countries. The biosafety procedures were heterogeneous. The workload in clinical and molecular pathology decreased dramatically by 31% (range, 3%-55%) and 26% (range, 7%-62%), respectively. According to the professional category, between 28% and 41% of the staff members were not present in the laboratories but did teleworking. A total of 70% of the laboratories developed virtual meetings for the training of residents and junior pathologists. During the period of study, none of the staff members with confirmed COVID-19 became infected as a result of handling samples. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has had a strong impact on most of the European pathology laboratories included in this study. Urgent implementation of several changes to the organization of most of these laboratories, notably to better harmonize biosafety procedures, was noted at the onset of the pandemic and maintained in the event of a new wave of infection occurring in Europe. Biosafety measures used in the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis were heterogeneous in 53 European pathology laboratories. A dramatic decrease of the workload in pathology laboratories was noted. No case of healthcare workers contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 associated with samples handling was identified.

Abstract
In only a few months after its inception, the COVID-19 pandemic lead to the death of hundreds of thousands of patients and to the infection of millions of people on most continents, mostly in the United States and in Europe. During this crisis, it was demonstrated that a better understanding of the pathogenicity, virulence, and contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2, all of which were initially underestimated, was urgently needed. The development of diagnostic tests to identify SARS-CoV-2 or to detect anti-SARS-CoV2 antibodies in blood, of vaccines, and of preventive and curative treatments has been relying on intense activity of scientists in academia and industry. It is noteworthy that these scientists depend on the use of high-quality biological samples taken from positive COVID-19 patients in a manner that preserves their integrity. Given this unique and emergent situation, it was necessary to urgently establish biological collections clinically annotated for immediate development of clinical and translational research projects focusing on COVID-19 biological aspects. It is in this very specific context that biobanks must rapidly adapt their infrastructure and/or operational capacity to fulfill new critical needs. We report the establishment of a biobank dedicated to the collection of blood-derived products (plasma, serum, and leukocytes) from COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the Nice Pasteur Hospital (Nice, France).
