Autopsy findings of COVID-19:  Lesson learnt

Summary

      The new COVID-19 has caused more than 1.7 million deaths worldwide.  However, the pathogenesis and pathologic features of COVID-19 is only partially understood.

       Despite modern diagnostic tests, autopsy is still great importance and may be a key to understanding the biological characteristic of COVID-19 and pathogenesis of the disease.   A literature review of the present evidence on the autopsy examinations highlights the main pathologic features of the disease.

            Autopsy studies show a multisystemic pathology which leads to death typically in those with comorbidities. The lung findings are most significant for majority of those infected.   Generally, appear heavy and oedematous, microscopically show diffuse alveolar damage with hyaline membrane formation, alongside microthrombi in small pulmonary vessels.

Other organ systems are frequently involved including with widespread microscopic thromboses in numerous organs, as well as liver, kidneys, and lymph nodes.

There is also evidence that the new COVID-19 causes endothelial dysfunction which in turn could be responsible for multiorgan dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction could be explained by the expression of the receptor binding domain on the COVID-19 surface, which binds ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) receptors, localized in many human tissues including heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and the endothelium.

Autopsy findings in these most severely affected patients can serve as a valuable source of information in studying this new disease process and can influence the therapeutic strategies and ultimately reduce mortality.

Bipolar Mood Disorder in a Young Man with 48,XXYY Syndrome

48,XXYY syndrome is a rare condition. The presentations of impulsive and aggressive behavior have been reported in several case reports among patients with 48,XXYY syndrome. The management of the psychological impact of this condition is a significant issue faced by families, carers, and healthcare professionals. We report on a patient with underlying 48,XXYY syndrome with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disability, diagnosed later in adulthood with Bipolar Mood Disorder and benefited greatly after being started on Lithium. From the adult psychiatry perspective, we suggest that for a patient with 48,XXYY, routine psychological screening including the presence of mood disorder symptoms such as mania and depression, should be done by healthcare professionals. In view of higher risk of metabolic syndrome and deep vein thrombosis associated with 48,XXYY syndrome, they also should be screened for these conditions

Presentation of all mortality cases for the month of January 2021

The Malaysian Hospice Council is commencing a continuous palliative care education programme later this month which will run for a year. This will follow the model of the ECHO project pioneered by Dr Sanjeev Arora from Alberquerque, New Mexico. The ECHO project has expanded from its original roots to now run in 44 countries across the world with a total of 423 hubs and 920 programmes operating internationally. The project aims to move knowledge and not patients and providers by utilising a low cost platform (Zoom) to provide accessibility to leverage scarce resources by using a 3G internet connection. In doing so, best practices and evidence based care can be promoted to reduce disparities in healthcare in different settings. The model uses case based learning to encourage peer led learning and master complexity where participants address learning needs that are directly relevant to them. By demonopolizing knowledge, all can teach and all can learn and learning can be amplified to reach others rapidly. 

ECHO uses a hub and spoke model; hubs are the centre where the programme is run where content experts and multidisciplinary teams are based. Participants join as spokes to the hub. ECHO sessions last 1 hour and entail a series of 2-3 case discussions presented by selected spokes for collaborative input by all, as well as a 15-20 minute didactic teaching session by an expert. 

The MHC ECHO will be conducted every 2-3 weeks over the next year encompassing a total of 29 topics. Feedback and evaluations will be obtained after each session for purposes of quality improvement and to assess learning in participants.

The topic list includes:

1. Supporting Advanced CKD in hospice care

2. Delirium

3. What is palliative care?

4. Running a hospice organization

5. Management of malignant bowel obstruction at home (5/2/2021)

6. Assessment and Management of pain

7. Ethical issues in community hospice care

8. Good communication skills

9. Supporting parents of children with cancer

10. Comfort end of life care at home

11. Advance Care Planning and application of ethical principles

12. Physiotherapy in community hospice care

13. Telemedicine in hospice care

14. Supporting grief and beravement in adults

15. Supporting grief and bereavement in children

16. Supporting dementia and frail patients in hospice care

17. Mouth care

18. Palliative Care emergencies

19. Occupational therapy for hospice paitents in the community

20. Psychological First Aid

21. Building resilience and self care in compassionate hospice works

22. Opioids Balance in Malaysia

23. Managing breathlessness

24. Managing cancer cachexia

25. Assessment of nausea and vomiting and pharmacological management

26. Constipation

27. Insomnia

28. Palliative care needs assessment

29. Managing neuropathic pain

All speakers for the topics above with be mainly NSR registered Palliative Medicine specialists or Subspeciality Fellows training in Palliative Medicine. Other topics in Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Geriatrics, and Hospice management will be conducted by qualified practitioners in the field.

Phase 1 of the project is aimed mainly towards hospice staff. Initially, we hope to begin with a maximum of 20-30 spokes. Phase 2 will launch later focussing mainly on Klinik Kesihatan staff and MOH/MOE hospital staff interested in improving their knowledge and skills in palliative care. 

There is no website link as publicity will be through MHC membership initially. Publicity for latter stages will be more widely disseminated to interested parties.
