Mycoplasmas, the smallest self‑replicating prokaryotes without a cell wall, are most prevalent and extensively studied species in humans. They significantly contribute to chronic respiratory tract illnesses pneumonia, with children adolescents being particularly vulnerable. <em>Mycoplasma</em> <em>pneumoniae</em> (<em>M</em>. <em>pneumoniae</em>) infections typically tend be self‑limiting mild but can progress severe or even life‑threatening conditions certain individuals. Extrapulmonary...
Immature granulocytes (IGs) include metamyelocytes, myelocytes and promyelocytes, are the precursors of neutrophils. Increased IG counts found in peripheral blood indicate an enhanced bone marrow activity. In addition, IGs have been evaluated numerous clinical conditions, such as severe acute pancreatitis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome infectious complications following open‑heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. Neutrophils considered to play a crucial role host defense...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19), a systemic illness caused by severe acute respiratory distress syndrome 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2), has triggered worldwide pandemic with symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to chronic, affecting practically every organ. Melatonin, an ancient antioxidant found in all living organisms, been suggested as safe and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of SARS‑CoV‑2 infection due its good safety characteristics broad‑spectrum antiviral medication properties....
Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 seem to be an emerging global crisis. Machine learning radiographic models have great potential for meticulous evaluation post-COVID-19 interstitial lung disease (ILD).In this multicenter, retrospective study, we included consecutive patients that had been evaluated 3 months following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection between 01/02/2021 and 12/5/2022. High-resolution computed tomography was through Imbio Lung Texture Analysis 2.1.Two...
The clinical range of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms in patients with Parkinson's (PD) has not yet been thoroughly characterized, the exception a few small case studies. aim present study was to investigate motor and non-motor progression PD (PWP) post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) at baseline 6 months after infection COVID-19. A cross-sectional prospective 38 PWP+/PCS+ 20 PWP+/PCS- matched for age, sex duration conducted. All were assessed using structured clinicodemographic...
Background: Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMV/r) and three-day course remdesivir (3RDV) have been approved as early treatments for COVID-19 outpatients not requiring supplemental oxygen. Real-life data on the efficacy of antivirals among immunocompromised patients or directly comparing their effectiveness in preventing hospitalization and/or death are scarce. Methods: Prospective, observational study conducted a tertiary care hospital, from 1 January 2022 until 15 March 2023, during prevalence...
Eosinophils are blood cells responsible for response against parasites and allergens. Eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio (ELR) is a biomarker inflammatory conditions. Our aim was evaluate the role of eosinophils ELR in COVID-19 patients.The study included 96 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. They were classified into moderate severe cases critical cases. determined both groups, that died or survived correlated duration hospitalization.There statistically significant decrease between (p<0.05),...
Low levels of serum calcium, elevated phosphorus and absent or abnormally low parathyroid hormone characterize hypoparathyroidism, a rare endocrine deficiency illness. Hypoparathyroidism is caused by injury to the gland as result surgery autoimmune disease. In addition, hypoparathyroidism may develop due genetic causes infiltrative diseases. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection characterized multi-organ involvement, including dysfunction glands. Previous...
