Correlations of Long COVID Symptoms and Inflammatory Markers of Complete Blood Count (CBC): A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Long-COVID refers to lasting unspecific symptoms like fatigue, decreased concentration and sleep issues after infection which persist for at least three months and cannot be attributed to other causes. Previous studies surveyed the association between inflammatory markers like C - reactive protein (CRP) at hospital admission and long-COVID symptoms in the preceding months. Post-COVID syndrome can affect one-third of patients.

The global, regional, and national burden and quality of care index of kidney cancer; a global burden of disease systematic analysis 1990-2019.

Kidney cancer (KC) is a prevalent cancer worldwide. The incidence and mortality rates of KC have risen in recent decades. The quality of care provided to KC patients is a concern for public health.

Predictive value of hematological indices on incidence and severity of pulmonary embolism in COVID-19 patients.

Background: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a common complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which raises the COVID-19 disease's fatality rate from 3% to 45%. Nevertheless, due to fairly indistinguishable clinical symptoms and a lack of validated clinical prediction models, PTE diagnosis in COVID-19 patients is challenging. This study aims to investigate the applicability of hematological indices to predict PTE incidence and its severity in SARS-CoV-2 patients.

A fiber-ceramic matrix composite material model for osteonal cortical bone fracture micromechanics: solution of arbitrary microcracks interaction.

Microcracks formed in bone are due to fatigue and cyclic loading. This formation is associated with a reduction of bone resistance to fracture. However, the significance of the parameters that govern microcrack behavior is not yet fully explored.
