Background: Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to the cytokine storm syndrome which cause acute respiratory failure and death. Our aim was investigate therapeutic effects of infliximab, intravenous gammaglobulin (IVIg) or combination therapy in patients with severe COVID-19 admitted intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: In this observational research, we studied 104 intubated adult infection (based on clinical symptoms, radiographic CT scan parameters) who were ICU a...
Background In the INSPIRATION-S trial, atorvastatin versus placebo was associated with a nonsignificant 16% reduction in 30-day composite of venous/arterial thrombosis or death intensive care unit (ICU) patients COVID-19. Thrombo-inflammatory response coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may last beyond first 30 days. Methods This article reports effects 20 mg daily on 90-day clinical and functional outcomes from INSPIRATION-S, double-blind multicenter randomized trial adult ICU The main...
BACKGROUND: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) guided bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) remains as the chief diagnostic tool in respiratory disorders. 1.2-16% of patients frequently experience fever after bronchoscopy. To exclude need for multiple antibiotic prescribing with post-bronchoscopy fever, presence self-limiting inflammatory responses should be excluded.
 AIM: The current study was conducted to test serum undergoing some proinflammatory cytokines including Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha...
Introduction Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are described as the most common comorbidities among COVID-19 patients. We investigated adverse effect of ACEIs in diabetic nondiabetic patients with COVID-19. Methods This prospective study consisted 617 RT-PCR-confirmed inpatients. Demographic baseline characteristics, underlying comorbid diseases, antihypertensive drugs were evaluated. Study outcome (in-hospital death) was evaluated Kaplan-Meyer method Cox regression model. Statistical...
BACKGROUND: Abdominal compartment syndrome patients suffer severe obstacles such as kidney failure and shock. To evade further complications, identifying the abdominal (ACS) Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), in critically ill individuals hospitalised intensive care unit (ICU) is obligated.
 AIM: The current study intended to concomitant risk factors among ICU, by using pressure test.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred twenty-five at ICU entered survey. was measured standard...
Considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency worldwide and its relationship with immune response to viral infections, this study attempted identify predictive power serum for poor outcomes among COVID-19 patients. This retrospective cohort included all patients confirmed hospitalized between February 20, 2020, April at a designated hospital, located in Tehran province, Iran. General characteristics, medical history clinical symptoms were recorded by trained physicians. Blood...
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [COVID-19] quickly turned into a pandemic. Gastrointestinal involvement, especially liver diseases, is one of the main complications COVID-19 patients. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate high incidence involvement in hospitalized patients and its association with mortality. Methods: A total 560 confirmed diagnosis were included. Death was considered as outcome. In addition enzymes, demographic, clinical,...
We assessed the association between severity of COVID-19 and thyroid function, relationship hormones with inflammatory markers in patients.This observational study contained 95 patients. The covariates interest included thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) total form thyroxine triiodothyronine.
