Co-Occurrence of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lung Cancer-Coincidence or Not?

Bronchopulmonary cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the risk factors for lung cancer, and those who use methotrexate have a higher risk of developing lung cancer. We present the case of an 80-year-old patient who is a former smoker and is known to have rheumatoid arthritis, being treated using methotrexate; they were brought by ambulance to the emergency room for coughing with ineffective expectoration, dyspnea on slight exertion, and right-lateral chest pain with onset about one month prior and progressive worsening.

Sleep Quality Aspects in Post-COVID-19 Patients.

In this observational cohort study, sleep quality in post-COVID-19 patients was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire.

We also observed and analyzed the results in order to identify any possible links between the severity of COVID-19 and sleep quality as measured by the PSQI questionnaire.
