COVID-19-associated neurological sequelae: A case series on cerebral microbleeds and encephalopathy.

Background: Critical illness-associated cerebral microbleeds and leukoencephalopathy connected to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection are emerging areas of concern in current medical literature.

Methods: We reviewed cases of patients with COVID-19-associated neurological manifestations to study the prevalence and outcome of such conditions. Case Series Findings: Our review yielded seven distinct patients.

Rhabdomyolysis in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: The total number of ICU admissions for COVID-19 patients has increased steadily. Based on the research team's clinical observations, many patients developed rhabdomyolysis, but few cases were reported in the literature. This study explores the incidence of rhabdomyolysis and its outcomes, like mortality, the need for intubation, acute kidney injury, and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Optic Neuritis in a Child With Poorly Controlled Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report.

Type 1 diabetes stands among the most prevalent endocrinological diseases in the pediatric age group. The incidence rate continues to rise globally. Optic neuritis has been described in the literature in association with type 2 diabetes; however, cases of optic neuritis with type 1 diabetes are very few.

Severe pulmonary hemorrhage in a 3-week-old neonate with COVID-19 infection: A case report.

Our patient is a 3-week-old female neonate, presented with complaints of low-grade fever and a congested nose for one day. Eventually, she developed progressive desaturation, hypotension, and poor perfusion due to severe pulmonary hemorrhage. Then, she developed cardiac arrest and was declared dead.

Nebulized fentanyl for respiratory symptoms in patients with COVID-19 (ventanyl trial).

Patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) commonly experience distressing and challenging respiratory symptoms. Interventions such as oxygen therapy, oral opiates, and traditional nebulizers like ipratropium bromide and salbutamol are variable in their efficacy, and therapy responses in patients are difficult to predict. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of nebulized fentanyl citrate on dyspnea, cough, and throat pain in patients with COVID-19 and evaluate the safety with any potential adverse events.

Genotoxicity of cisplatin and carboplatin in cultured human lymphocytes: a comparative study.

Cisplatin and carboplatin are integral parts of many antineoplastic management regimens. Both platinum analogues are potent DNA alkylating agents that robustly induce genomic instability and promote apoptosis in tumor cells. Although the mechanism of action of both drugs is similar, cisplatin appears to be more cytotoxic.
