- - The study investigated the effectiveness of methylprednisolone, an immunosuppressive treatment, in improving clinical outcomes for severe COVID-19 patients during hospitalization in Iran.
- - A randomized controlled trial with 68 patients found that those treated with methylprednisolone had a significantly higher improvement rate (94.1%) and lower mortality (5.9%) compared to those receiving standard care alone (57.1% improvement and 42.9% mortality).
- - The findings suggest that administering methylprednisolone could enhance survival and reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms in hospitalized patients during the illness's early respiratory phase.
To the best of our knowledge, there is no published study on the use of interferon β-1a (IFN β-1a) in the treatment of severe COVID-19. In this randomized clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of IFN β-1a were evaluated in patients with severe COVID-19. Forty-two patients in the interferon group received IFN β-1a in addition to the national protocol medications (hydroxychloroquine plus lopinavir-ritonavir or atazanavir-ritonavir).

- FOT is a noninvasive and efficient technique that measures lung capacity and is beneficial for assessing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity.
- The study involved 22 patients with severe OSA and found a significant negative correlation between resonant frequency (Fres) and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), suggesting Fres can help predict AHI severity.
- Overall, FOT shows promise as a diagnostic tool for monitoring and managing OSA patients.
