Nutrition intake in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19): A nationwide, multicentre, observational study in Argentina.

Introduction: In 2020 the pandemic caused by SARS-COV-2 demanded an enormous number of healthcare resources in order to guarantee adequate treatment and support for those patients. This study aims to assess caloric and protein intake and evaluate its associations with relevant clinical outcomes in critically ill with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients.

Methods: A nationwide, multicentre prospective observational study including twelve Argentinian intensive care units (ICUs,) was conducted between March and October 2020.

Fetal RHD detection from circulating cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma: validation of a diagnostic kit using automatic extraction and frozen DNA.

Objective: This study aimed to validate non-invasive RHD genotyping of cell-free fetal DNA (cff-DNA) using different DNA extraction methods and of fresh and frozen extracted cff-DNA.

Background: Non-invasive RHD genotyping of cff-DNA predicts fetal RhD phenotype, allowing for the rational implementation of antenatal immunoprophylaxis and representing a big step forward in the management of RhD-immunised women. Validation of a diagnostic method is mandatory before its clinical application.
