Pathways of Coagulopathy and Inflammatory Response in SARS-CoV-2 Infection among Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Chronic inflammation and endothelium dysfunction are present in diabetic patients. COVID-19 has a high mortality rate in association with diabetes, partially due to the development of thromboembolic events in the context of coronavirus infection. The purpose of this review is to present the most important underlying pathomechanisms in the development of COVID-19-related coagulopathy in diabetic patients.

[Comparative study of echocardiographic parameters in young males with early repolarization pattern].

Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az EKG-n megjelenő korai repolarizációs mintázat diagnosztikai kritériumai és klinikai jelentősége elsősorban az elmúlt évtizedben került tisztázásra, ugyanakkor viszonylag kevés vizsgálat foglalkozott mind ez idáig a korai repolarizációs mintázathoz köthető esetleges strukturális szívelváltozások felderítésével. Módszer: Egy prospektív vizsgálat során azonosított 30, korai repolarizációs mintázatot mutató fiatal férfi (átlagéletkor: 22,5 ± 1,5 év) echokardiográfiás paramétereit hasonlítottuk össze egy 32 főből álló (átlagéletkor: 22,3 ± 1,9 év) megfeleltetett kontrollcsoport azonos jellemzőivel.

Profile Of Patients With Advanced Parkinson's disease Suitable For Device-Aided Therapies: Restrospective Data Of A Large Cohort Of Romanian Patients.

Background: There is insufficient data in the literature regarding the real-life, daily clinical practice evaluation of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (APD). We are not sure what is the upper limit of dopaminergic medication, especially the levodopa (LD) dosage, and how it is influenced by access and suitability to the various add-on and device-aided therapies (DAT).

Objective: This retrospective study explored the profile of APD patients that were considered and systematically evaluated regarding the suitability for DAT.

[Quality of life of consumers following a gluten-free diet. ].

With the rising consumer's health awareness, especially towards patients with celiac disease, gluten has become a food ingredient to be avoided by many people expecting various positive health effects. The strict adherence of diet requires serious abandonments and lifestyle changes that affect directly their quality of life. The aim of the present study was to recognise the quality of life of Hungarian and Romanian consumers following a gluten-free diet as well as to explore the negative effects on them.

Meloxicam ameliorates the cartilage and subchondral bone deterioration in monoiodoacetate-induced rat osteoarthritis.

Objective: This study aimed to quantify the cartilage- and subchondral bone-related effects of low-dose and high-dose meloxicam treatment in the late phase of mono-iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis of the stifle.

Methods: Thirty-four male Wistar rats received intra-articular injection of mono-iodoacetate to trigger osteoarthritis; 10 control animals (Grp Co) received saline. The mono-iodoacetate-injected rats were assigned to three groups and treated from week 4 to the end of week 7 with placebo (Grp P,  = 11), low-dose (GrpM Lo, 0.
