Deep Vein Thrombosis in Critically Ill Patients With COVID‐19 Pneumonia

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 155-170, January 2026.
Objectives The risk of major venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with COVID‐19 is high but varies with disease severity. Estimate the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID‐19, validate the Wells score for DVT diagnosis, and determine patients' prognosis.

Robust Diagnostic and Therapeutic Biomarkers for Tuberculosis Identified Through Multi‐Omics and Mendelian Randomization Analysis

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
We performed UPLC‐MS/MS lipidomics and DIA proteomics on plasma from healthy controls, active TB patients, and cured patients, and used Mendelian randomization to prioritize diagnostic and cure biomarkers. Multi‐omics random‐forest models based on these biomarkers showed excellent performance for diagnosis and cure monitoring.
