Aim: Optimal treatment of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still unclear. It has been reported that the use of different doses of corticosteroid treatments may reduce mortality. In our study, we aimed to find the effect of corticosteroid treatment dose on mortality of patients followed up in intensive care due to COVID-19.

Article Synopsis
- Midostaurin is the first targeted treatment for AML FLT3 and reduces mortality by 23% compared to standard chemotherapy, but it has side effects, especially gastrointestinal issues.
- A case was reported where a patient experienced acute pancreatitis symptoms after starting midostaurin, including abdominal pain and elevated enzyme levels.
- The patient was treated with IV hydration and anti-symptomatic care, recovering after four days, but drug-induced acute pancreatitis remains a rare and complicated diagnosis without established links to midostaurin despite various potential mechanisms.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the thickness of the Achilles tendon (ATT) and asprosin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to explore links to cardio-metabolic diseases.
- It included 45 PCOS patients and 30 healthy controls, measuring hormone levels and ATT using ultrasound to assess differences between the groups.
- Results showed higher ATT and asprosin levels in PCOS patients, indicating a strong positive relationship, suggesting ATT measurement could be a simple tool for monitoring cardiometabolic health in these patients.
This awareness study aimed to determine the ultrasound (US) examination rates in relation to US-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) diagnosis in internal medicine outpatients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across Türkiye. A total of 6283 T2D patients were included in this multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted at 17 internal medicine clinics across Türkiye. The presence and indications for US performed within the last 3 years were recorded along with US-confirmed MAFLD rates, laboratory findings on the day of US, and referral rates.
