Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

MIS; SARS summary = INTERPRETATION: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome is a new pediatric disease associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that is dangerous and potentially lethal. However, in early May 2020, investigators from South Thames Retrieval Service in London, UK published a report describing eight severely ill pediatric patients presenting in hyperinflammatory shock with multiorgan involvement [6] Specifically, the children manifested with high fever, rash, conjunctivitis, peripheral edema, and gastrointestinal symptoms. We included patients with COVID-19 to reinforce to the healthcare community and public the differences in the clinical presentation, to highlight the degree of systemic inflammation in MIS-C, and to iterate the differences in treatment and outcome between the two diseases. Data collected from the studies included demographics, number of patients, signs and symptoms, laboratory markers, imaging results, medications, and outcomes.

Guidelines have suggested caution with a perceived risk of virus spread through aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) including laparoscopy and robotic surgery. All patients for elective surgery were self-isolated for two weeks and had COVID-19 test performed 48 hours before the procedure. Emergency surgery patient underwent PCR COVID-19 test prior to their procedure where feasible. During the study period, there was no COVID-19 positive case reported amongst the patients in the MIS group or theatre staff. This data would suggest that, with appropriate screening of patients and protection of theatre staff as outlined, MIS is safe and feasible. Patients should not be denied the clear advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery during the current COVID-19 pandemic. doi = 10.1002/bjs.11986 id = cord-351634-x1aw6gv2 author = Brumfiel, Caitlin M. title = Dermatologic manifestations of COVID-19-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children date = 2020-11-01 keywords = MIS; Syndrome summary = Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) affects a small percentage of pediatric patients infected with COVID-19 and is characterized by fever, laboratory evidence of inflammation, multisystem involvement, and severe illness necessitating hospitalization. 1,2 Despite a relatively benign clinical course for most, pediatric patients may rarely exhibit exaggerated immune responses that fall on a spectrum ranging from a mild febrile inflammatory state without multisystem involvement, to a moderate Kawasaki disease (KD)-like illness, to a severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome with shock. 3 Beginning in late April 2020, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) became an increasingly recognized hyperinflammatory phenotype in pediatric patients with evidence of COVID-19 infection. detailed 78 cases of pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS), which is very similar to MIS-C but with a slightly less restrictive case definition, particularly patients may exhibit single organ system dysfunction and may or may not require hospitalization. doi = 10.1016/j.clindermatol.2020.10.021 id = cord-344683-lr1xr2um author = Cabler, Stephanie title = A Cytokine Circus with a Viral Ringleader: SARS-CoV-2-Associated Cytokine Storm Syndromes date = 2020-09-30 keywords = MIS summary = An unbridled host immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection likely underlies severe cases of the disease and has been labeled a "Cytokine Storm Syndrome". Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the etiologic agent of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19) , can lead to severe pneumonia, multi-organ failure, and death. Given the clinical and laboratory features, it is reasonable to consider MIS-C as a separate but related entity to the severe multi-organ dysfunction observed in patients with S-CSS (Figure 1 ). A second study showed pediatric patients with MIS-C exhibit distinct cytokine profiles from those with severe SARS-CoV-2 respiratory disease, exhibiting higher IL-10 and TNF [19] .

Reports in the literature and unpublished observations by members of the panel both note that some patients with MIS-C can decompensate rapidly; however, the risk factors that predispose patients to such severe and progressive illness have not been identified.(10, 13) Accordingly, children with abnormal vital signs, concerning physical examination findings, significantly elevated inflammatory markers, or signs of cardiac involvement will need to be admitted to the hospital for supportive care while Tier 2 testing is completed. doi = 10.1002/art.41454 id = cord-281948-xv7vuypd author = Hoang, Ansel title = COVID-19 in 7780 pediatric patients: A systematic review date = 2020-06-26 keywords = COVID-19; MIS; SARS; child summary = We included published or in press peer-reviewed cross-sectional, case series, and case reports providing clinical signs, imaging findings, and/or laboratory results of pediatric patients who were positive for COVID-19.

METHOD: This case describes a 14-year-old boy who developed prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms including delirium followed by impairments in executive functioning in the context of MIS-C with positive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been associated with emergence of a new syndrome referred to as Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) related to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID19) . Given the paucity of knowledge concerning this syndrome''s effect on the nervous system, the intent of this case report is to describe the neuropsychiatric symptoms in one 14-year-old boy presenting with multisystem inflammatory syndrome and positive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

METHODS: A COVID-19 biospecimen collection study was implemented with strategic enrollment guidelines to include patients seen in urgent care clinics and hospital settings, neonates born to SARS-CoV-2 infected mothers, and asymptomatic children. Specific questions that must be addressed revolve around the role children play in viral transmission, differences in pediatric viral susceptibility and immune responses, which could guide potential therapies for adults, the impact of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection on fetal development, and factors driving the development of severe hyperinflammatory shock and cardiac damage seen in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). In order to capture the full range of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the pediatric population, a COVID-19 biospecimen collection study was designed and implemented, including patients seen in urgent care clinics and hospital settings, neonates born to SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers, and asymptomatic children. doi = 10.1186/s12874-020-01110-y id = cord-350401-suefuurq author = Lima-Setta, Fernanda title = Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Brazil: a multicenter, prospective cohort study()()() date = 2020-11-09 keywords = MIS; SARS; patient summary = title: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Brazil: a multicenter, prospective cohort study()()() From March 25 to August 23, 2020, pediatric patients (age range: 1 month -19 years) were consecutively included if they met the CDC case definition[8] for MIS-C: 1) fever > 38.0°C for ≥ 24 hours (objective or subjective); 2) laboratory evidence of inflammation, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following: high values of C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen, procalcitonin, d-dimer, ferritin, lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), or interleukin 6 (IL-6); elevated neutrophils, reduced lymphocytes, and low albumin; 3) no alternative plausible diagnosis; 4) current or recent SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or positive serological tests (IgM, IgG or IgA), or exposure to a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case within the four weeks prior to the onset of symptoms. doi = 10.1016/j.jped.2020.10.008 id = cord-035239-5zdjxtm7 author = Makvandi, Shayan title = A Rare Presentation of Multi-System Inflammatory Disease in Children Associated With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) date = 2020-10-10 keywords = MIS summary = title: A Rare Presentation of Multi-System Inflammatory Disease in Children Associated With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) This article reports a rare presentation of multi-system inflammatory disease in a previously healthy 16-month-old male who fully recovered with minimal residual cardiac insufficiency upon discharge.

Although in children with MIS-C, the inflammatory response may sometimes be associated with transitory respiratory impairment, this feature is more prominent in adults with COVID-19, who may even require venous-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) support. However, notwithstanding the existence of considerable observational data on the use of ECMO for influenza A (H1N1) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus-related ARDS, the real utility of ECMO in adult COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure is uncertain and remains under investigation [15] . In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 may generate an inflammatory syndrome in both adults and children, albeit with several different characteristics and consequences.

We review the current evidence of epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatment, and indirect health consequences of SARS-CoV-2 on children. In reports from countries that were severely affected early in course of the pandemic, children comprise 1-2% the diagnosed COVID-19 cases, underrepresented compared with other age groups [3, [13] [14] [15] . In summary, children at any age may be infected with SARS-CoV-2, with reduced frequency and severity compared with adults, although clear epidemiologic data is still missing.

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In addition to fever and respiratory symptoms, pediatric patients infected with 74 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the pathogen in COVID-19, also 75 develop eruptions and mucositis. The purpose of this study was to estimate prevalence of integumentary findings in hospitalized 81 patients with COVID-19 and MIS-C, to characterize their morphologic patterns, to evaluate whether rash 82 Criteria for confirming the diagnosis of MIS-C included age <21 years, fever for ≥24 hours, clinically 89 severe illness requiring hospitalization, multisystem organ involvement, no alternative plausible 90 diagnosis, and exposure to a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case or positive SARS-CoV-2 infection 91 by PCR/serology testing.

As of mid-September, the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 26 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 30 million people, resulting in approximately one 27 million deaths worldwide, including over 200,000 deaths in the USA alone. Exacerbation of the COVID-19 immune response manifested by extensive cytokines 33 release, called cytokine storm, may lead to multisystem inflammatory syndrome that is 34 fatal in 28% of cases 1 . Interestingly, SAg-induced TSS has been associated with long-term 94 neuropsychologic deficits in adults, including cognitive decline 10 , and we identified a 95 homology between the SAg motif of SARS-CoV-2 and neurotoxin-like sequences which 96 are able to bind the TCR 5 .

Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterized by a hyperproinflammatory response or cytokine storm state that results to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS). The search strategy was constructed based on searching terms 2019 novel coronavirus, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 with using and/or, also the terms of child, pediatric, newborn, infant, adolescence, adult, age, age groups, severity, epidemiology, prevalence, difference, immune system, etiology, reasons in title, abstract, and key words. The first results stem from some considerations that children have a less vigorous immune response to the virus than adults because the cytokine storm is thought to be important in the pathogenesis of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections [28] . doi = 10.1007/s12519-020-00392-y id = cord-315508-8bcpxo02 author = Sperotto, Francesca title = Cardiac manifestations in SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: a comprehensive review and proposed clinical approach date = 2020-08-15 keywords = COVID-19; MIS summary = Patients with SARS-Cov-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome frequently presented with persistent fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, polymorphic rash, conjunctivitis, and mucosal changes. Notably, a subset of patients presents with hypotension and shock from either acute myocardial involvement or systemic hyperinflammation/vasodilation, frequently requiring intensive care admission, circulatory, and respiratory support (Tables 2 and 3 ) [4, 5, 8, 9, 13-20, 22-25, 27] . Possible causes of myocardial injury in adults with COVID-19 include acute myocarditis, hypoxic injury, ischemic injury caused by cardiac microvascular damage or coronary artery disease, right heart strain (acute cor pulmonale), stress cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo), and systemic inflammatory response syndrome [3, [34] [35] [36] [37] . Due to the scarce knowledge and the small number of reported cases so far, the management of patients with MIS-C has been largely based on expert opinion and extrapolated from KD treatment, adult experience with COVID-19, and other systemic inflammatory disorders in children.

We also analysed SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal HCoVs humoral responses of patients with MIS 122 regarding antibody targets and functional neutralizing activity. Our study is the first to analyse in depth 123 the typology of humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 in children, and provides evidence that prior 124 infections by seasonal coronaviruses has no significant impact on SARS-CoV-2 infection or related MIS 125 disease in children. We compared the prevalence of anti-N and -S antibodies against the four seasonal HCoVs in a 220 subpopulation of children among the HOS-P (n=54), MIS-P (n=15) and CTL (n=118) groups (Figure 1) . doi = 10.1101/2020.06.29.20142596
