Persistent endotheliopathy in the pathogenesis of long COVID syndrome [PDF]
Persistent symptoms including breathlessness, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance have been reported in patients after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. The biological mechanisms underlying this "long COVID" syndrome remain unknown. However, autopsy studies have highlighted the key roles played by pulmonary endotheliopathy and microvascular ...

In addition to protective “immune response”, sepsis is characterized by destructive “endothelial response” of the host, leading to endotheliopathy and its molecular dysfunction. Complement activation generates membrane attack complex (MAC).

Glycocalyx degradation and the endotheliopathy of viral infection
The endothelial glycocalyx (EGX) contributes to the permeability barrier of vessels and regulates the coagulation cascade. EGX damage, which occurs in numerous disease states, including sepsis and trauma, results in endotheliopathy. While influenza and other viral infections are known to cause endothelial dysfunction, their effect on the EGX has not ...

Phacoemulsification in the Setting of Corneal Endotheliopathies: A Review
With the evolution of endothelial keratoplasty, surgical approaches in patient with cataracts and coexisting corneal endotheliopathies have also changed. This article aims to review the factors that determine proper procedure selection, preoperative planning, and surgical modifications during phacoemulsification in order to optimize visual outcomes and

Pars Planitis and Autoimmune Endotheliopathy
A migrating endothelial rejection line is the clinical criterion of specific immune reaction in corneal allotransplantation. This line when seen in otherwise intact corneas has been presumed to be an autoimmune endotheliopathy. We have recorded corneal changes similar to autoimmune endotheliopathy in four of ten patients with the diagnosis of pars ...
