Enigma of COVID-19: is "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults" (MIS-A) predictable?

Background: Severe inflammation and one or more extrapulmonary organ dysfunctions have been reported and this clinical picture is defined as "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults" (MIS-A) in severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to determine the effect of LDH/lymphocyte ratio (LLR) on the development of MIS-A.

Methods: The data of 2333 patients were retrospectively analyzed.

A new approach in acute myeloid leukemia (AML): Samatya-predicting score.

We aimed to examine the efficiency for prediction of prognosis and response in non-APL AML cases of the "Samatya-predicting score". A total of 213 patients diagnosed between January 2010-December 2020 were examined. Of the 158 patients included in the study, the median value of risk score was determined as 2,5.

A new parameter in COVID-19 pandemic: initial lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/Lymphocyte ratio for diagnosis and mortality.

Background: COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) is a pandemic disease, infecting more than 26.5 million people. Since there is no specific and effective treatment; early diagnosis and optimal isolation of the patient are of vital importance.
