3 Whole Blood Immune Cells Characterization in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients: A Prospective Study

SARS-CoV-2 outbreak causes a spectrum of clinical patterns that varies from asymptomatic infection to mildly symptomatic manifestations and more-severe forms that need intensive care. Until now, the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection has been poorly reported to help decision for immune modulation therapies. As a consequence, trials have been designed to test both anti-inflammatory molecules as steroids or anti-bodies against IL-6, and others proposing to "boost" immunity with interferon beta based on similar inclusion criteria. The immune response to infective agents including viruses may have a complex time evolution with early and late phases corresponding to different patterns, oscillating between pro-inflammation and immune-depression. The potential window to improve outcome in COVID-19 by therapeutic intervention aimed at a fine tuning between immune toxicity and immunodepression requires a longitudinal assessment during the course of illness, especially for the patients who develop acute respiratory failure. Immune monitoring of both innate and adaptive immunity would then be essential to appropriately design clinical trials. The whole blood cells evaluation was recorded according to the time intervals between the onset of symptoms and the sampling after ICU admission. Patients' care was standardized, especially with regard to ventilation, sedation, and antimicrobial treatment. In this study the investigators prospectively perform a longitudinal study of both innate and adaptive immunity on patients admitted to ICU for an COVID-19 related acute respiratory failure. The data will be analyzed in reference to the onset of initial symptoms and also to the admission in ICU. The primary end point is the evolution of the characterization of monocytes and their subsets in term of number and expression of HLA-DR. A similar approach is used for lymphocytes and their subtypes with in addition, an ex vivo testing of their capabilities to be stimulated by SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins in term of TNFalpha, INFgamma, and IL1beta production. The secondary end-point was to test the association with outcomes and other non-specific markers of inflammation as CRP (C reactive protein), PCT (procalcitonin), DDimers and ferritin.

5 Retrospective and Prospective Database of COVID-19 Prevalence and Clinical Course in Pediatric and Young Adult Hematology/ Oncology/Stem Cell Therapy Patients in the New York Tri-State Area.

New York City (NYC) has become the epicenter of the worldwide pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). By collecting and summarizing the experience with other major health care providers in the tristate (New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ) and Connecticut (CT)) are, the investigators are uniquely positioned to inform the rest of the country about what to expect and how to manage children and young adults with hematological, oncological or stem cell transplant diagnoses during the pandemic.

6 Online, Home-based, Aerobic Training Program Among Adolescents With Chronic Diseases During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Data show that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms can be severe in 4% and 3% of the adolescents aged 11-15 years and ≥ 16 years, respectively. In addition, the prevalence of chronic diseases among adolescents has increased in the last years. About 20% of the adolescents have some chronic disease, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. In march, 2020, the quarantine was officially implemented in Sao Paulo, while elective medical appointments for adolescents with chronic disease were temporarily suspended. To mitigate the deleterious effect of the social isolation on physical and mental health among these patients, this study aims to test the effects of an online, home-based, exercise training program.
