Cost-effectiveness of plasmapheresis and hemoperfusion in COVID-19 survivors: A six-month follow-up analysis after hospital discharge.

Introduction: To evaluate the short- and long-term clinical and financial outcomes of apheresis in COVID-19 survivors after hospital discharge.

Methods: Intensive care unit-discharged patients were followed for 6 months. Vital signs, laboratory markers, quality of life, and direct medical costs were analyzed to calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) and to plot cost-effectiveness planes and acceptability curves.

Morin, as a natural flavonoid, provides promising influences against cardiovascular diseases.

The present investigation evaluated the potential impacts of morin, a natural flavonoid, against cardiovascular disorders. Since inception until September 2024, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science have been searched extensively. The process involved eliminating duplicate entries and conducting a systematic review of the remaining studies post-full-text screening.

A deep dive into radiation keratopathy; Going beyond the current frontierss.

Radiotherapy is one of the conventional treatments for head and neck malignancies. Despite the implementation of protective measures to minimize the detrimental impact on healthy tissues surrounding the radiation site, radiation keratopathy remains a prevalent complication. We aimed to establish a mouse model of radiation keratopathy to characterize the pathophysiology of the disease and enable future identification of potential treatments.

Psychometric evaluation and translation of the Persian version of the Organizational Silence Behavior Scale (OSBS-P) for clinical nurses.

Background: Healthcare professionals have a crucial responsibility to provide optimal patient care. However, maintaining silence within an organization can often lead to ethical dilemmas and negatively impact the quality of care. Healthcare professionals must speak up and ensure their concerns are heard and addressed to promote a safe and ethical healthcare environment.

extract in combination with lytic phage cocktails: a promising therapeutic approach against biofilms of multi-drug resistant .

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global threat to public health systems, rendering antibiotics ineffective in treating infectious diseases. Combined use of bio compounds, including bacteriophages and plant extracts, is an attractive approach to controlling antibiotic resistance. In this study, the combination of phage cocktail (Isf-Pm1 and Isf-Pm2) and crude extract (AME) was investigated in controlling biofilm-forming multi-drug resistant isolates, and a phantom bladder model.
