Real-life use of tocilizumab with or without corticosteroid in hospitalized patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia: A retrospective cohort study

To evaluate the effectiveness of Tocilizumab (with or without corticosteroids) in a real-life context among moderate-to-severe COVID-19 patients hospitalized at the Infectious Diseases ward of two hospitals in Lazio region, Italy, during the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.We conducted a retrospective cohort study among moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia to assess the influence of tocilizumab (with or without corticosteroids) on: 1) primary composite outcome: risk for death/invasive mechanical ventilation/ICU-transfer at 14 days from hospital admission; 2) secondary outcome: COVID-related death only. Both outcomes were also assessed at 28 days and restricted to baseline more severe cases. We also evaluated the safety of tocilizumab.Overall, 412 patients were recruited, being affected by mild (6.8%), moderate (66.3%) or severe (26.9%) COVID-19 at baseline. The median participant' age was 63 years, 56.5% were men, the sum of comorbidities was 1.34 (±1.44), and the median time from symptom onset to hospital admission was 7 [3-10] days. Patients were subdivided in 4 treatment groups: standard of care (SoC) only (n = 172), SoC plus corticosteroid (n = 65), SoC plus tocilizumab (n = 50), SoC plus tocilizumab and corticosteroid (n = 125). Twenty-six (6.3%) patients underwent intubation, and 37 (9%) COVID-related deaths were recorded. After adjusting for several factors, multivariate analysis showed that tocilizumab (with or without corticosteroids) was associated to improved primary and secondary outcomes at 14 days, and at 28-days only when tocilizumab administered without corticosteroid. Among more severe cases the protective effect of tocilizumab (± corticosteroids) was observed at both time-points. No safety concerns were recorded.Although contrasting results from randomized clinical trials to date, in our experience tocilizumab was a safe and efficacious therapeutic option for patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Its efficacy was improved by the concomitant administration of corticosteroids in patients affected by severe-COVID-19 pneumonia at baseline.

Lowlands fluvial sedimentation enlightens glacial dynamics in narrow valleys during the Last Glacial Maximum (Venetian Forealps, Italy)

Sandro Rossato Anna Carraro Giovanni Monegato Paolo Mozzi Fabio Tateo

Abstract. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), most of the major glaciated basins of the European Southern Alps had piedmont lobes with large outwash plains; only few glaciers remained within the valley. The formers left well-preserved terminal moraines, whose investigation allowed to infer their evolution and chronology. Valley glaciers remnants, on the contrary, are often scantly preserved and changes can be detected only through the correlation with the glaciofluvial deposits in downstream alluvial basins. The Brenta glacial systems dynamics in its terminal tract was inferred through a wide range of sediment analysis techniques on an alluvial stratigraphic record of the Brenta megafan (NE Italy) and the mapping of in-valley glacial/glaciofluvial remnants. Glaciers flowing across narrow gorges turned out to be possibly slowed/blocked by such morphology and, if a lateral valley exists, glacial/sediment fluxes can be diverted. Moreover, narrow valleys may induce glaciers to bulge and form icefalls at their front, preventing the formation of terminal moraines. The Brenta glacier was probably slowed/blocked by the narrow Valsugana gorge downstream of Primolano and was effectively diverted eastwards across a windgap (Canal La Menor valley), joining the Cismon/Piave glaciers near Rocca and ending ~ 2 km downstream. The Cismon River started to flow along its present path just before 27 ka cal BP, while the Piave catchment contributed to the Brenta system at the acme of LGM, from ~ 27 to, at least, ~ 19.5 ka cal BP. Our investigation shows that glacial catchments may significantly vary over time during a single glaciation in rugged Alpine terrains. Sand petrography and chemical/mineralogical composition of sediments are good tracer of such variations, that reflects in the glacial and glaciofluvial systems and can be recognized in the alluvial stratigraphic record far downstream from the glacier front.
