TL;DR: There is rationale, pre-clinical evidence of effectiveness and evidence of safety from long-time clinical use for other indications to justify clinical research on chloroquine in patients with COVID-19.

TL;DR: It is shown that the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs in general anaesthesia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, and Anaesthetists must balance the potential benefits of neurmuscular blockade against the increasedrisk of postoperatively pulmonary complications.

TL;DR: Evidence about contamination of inanimate surfaces and equipment in ICU in light of the concept of patient zone is provided and the possible implications for bacterial pathogen cross-transmission to critically ill patients are provided.

TL;DR: An updated and comprehensive report of the global spread of C. auris, focusing on clinical and microbiological characteristics, mechanisms of virulence and antifungal resistance, and efficacy of available control, preventive, and therapeutic strategies is provided.

TL;DR: A better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is needed, together with high-quality clinical data on the use of respirators or alternative devices, and healthcare workers, regardless of their level of experience, should receive specific training.
