Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two treatments, anakinra and tocilizumab, for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, as existing research has produced contradictory results.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms and hyperinflammatory markers, comparing their outcomes based on the treatment received.
- Results indicated that anakinra was associated with significantly lower rates of ICU admissions and mortality compared to tocilizumab among the patients studied.
Introduction: Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that results in testicular ischemia as a result of rotation of the spermatic cord around itself. Oxidative damage occurs in the testis and distant organs with the overproduction of free radicals and overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines by reperfusion after surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of cerium oxide (CeO), an antioxidant nanoparticle, on lung and kidney tissues in testicular torsion/detorsion (T/D) in rats.
