Background: Immature granulocytes can be measured easily in a complete blood count by new automated hemolytic analyzers and have recently been studied as bio-markers in many infectious/inflammatory diseases. This study aims to investigate whether immature granulocyte percentage (IG%) would enable greater discrimination than conventionally utilized laboratory values in terms of early clinical prediction in instances with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis.
Methods: A prospective observational cohort study involved 149 individuals with RSV bronchiolitis.
Background: Stigma is an important social attitude affecting the quality of life (QoL) of people with Parkinson's disease (PwP, PD) as individuals within society.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to 1) identify the factors associated with stigma in PD and 2) demonstrate culture-based diversity in the stigmatization of PwP. We also reported data from the Turkish PwP, which is an underrepresented population.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed CT imaging findings of COVID-19 in 1,024 patients divided into nine age groups, highlighting differences in patterns and abnormalities based on age and gender.
- Under 20, only ground-glass opacity and consolidation were noted; older patients showed more diverse and severe CT changes, such as airway alterations in those over 80.
- Significant gender differences were observed, with males exhibiting higher rates of certain patterns like centrilobular nodules and airway changes, indicating the need for tailored prognosis assessments.
Objective: This study aims to investigate and compare the coagulation parameters of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with mortal and nonmortal conditions.
Methods: In this study, 511 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were included. Information about 31 deceased and 480 recovered COVID-19 patients was obtained from the hospital information management system and analyzed retrospectively.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between venous blood gas and chest computerized tomography findings and the clinical conditions of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Methods: A total of 309 patients admitted to the emergency department and subsequently confirmed COVID-19 cases was examined. Patients with pneumonia symptoms, chest computerized tomography scan, venous blood gas findings, and confirmed COVID-19 on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were consecutively enrolled.
