Article Synopsis
- The study examined whether inhaled corticosteroids affect the severity and mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia among patients with chronic asthma and COPD.
- It was a retrospective observational study, comparing two groups: one that used inhaled corticosteroids and one that did not, finding no significant difference in pneumonia severity between the groups.
- Key risk factors for mortality included increasing age, mechanical ventilation, severe pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, and the use of prone position, while inhaled corticosteroid use did not correlate with increased severity or mortality.
Introduction: : Immune responses against Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) may be highly complex. It has been suggested that T-cell fatigue develops due to continuous stimulation of T-cells by SARS-CoV-2 in Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). It was aimed to assess peripheral lymphocyte subsets and T-cell exhaustion in various clinical courses of the disease in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

The files of 352 patients who underwent bilateral total thyroidectomy alone or with central lymph node dissection and/or lateral neck dissection between June 1, 2019, and November 30, 2019, were retrospectively evaluated. Also, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels measured preoperatively and 4-6 h after surgery, follow-up examination results, and time to resolution of transient PoH were recorded.
