Aim: The severity of COVID-19 is influenced by uncontrolled hyper-inflammatory response with excessive release of many cytokines and chemokines. The understanding of the temporal change in the cytokine levels that underlies the diverse clinical presentations of COVID-19 can help in the prediction of the disease outcome and in the design of proper treatment strategies.
Method: Data were collected from children (<18 years old) hospitalised with severe COVID-19 or severe MIS-C who were compared to a group of healthy control children.
Background: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a novel syndrome associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with varying clinical features. This study aimed to analyze the expression profiles of cytokines in blood, report the important clinical characteristics, and correlate these with the short- and mid-term outcomes.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on hospitalized children with MIS-C from March 2021 to May 2022.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the effect of various vaginal wash solutions on reducing risks of post-cesarean endometritis, wound infections, fever, and hospital stay duration.
Methods: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized clinical trials that compared different vaginal wash solutions to each other or to "no vaginal cleaning"; without restriction on the age of parturients or site where trials were conducted. We analyzed this frequentist network meta-analysis using the netmeta package in R software version 4.
