Article Synopsis
- The study examined whether inhaled corticosteroids affect the severity and mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia among patients with chronic asthma and COPD.
- It was a retrospective observational study, comparing two groups: one that used inhaled corticosteroids and one that did not, finding no significant difference in pneumonia severity between the groups.
- Key risk factors for mortality included increasing age, mechanical ventilation, severe pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, and the use of prone position, while inhaled corticosteroid use did not correlate with increased severity or mortality.
Risk factors for the development of interstitial lung disease following severe COVID-19 pneumonia and outcomes of systemic corticosteroid therapy: 3-month follow-up.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the pulmonary involvement status, its related factors, and pulmonary function test (PFT) results in the first month follow-up in patients who were discharged for severe Covid-19 pneumonia, and to assess the efficacy of corticosteroid treatment on these parameters in severe pulmonary involvement patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients who applied to our COVID-19 follow-up clinic at the end of the first month of hospital discharge. Functional and radiological differences were compared after 3 months of corticosteroid treatment in severe pulmonary involvement group.
Background: Topoisomerase 2α (Topo 2α) is a nuclear enzyme that alters the topology of DNA. It's essential for normal chromosome segregation during cellular division. We aimed to investigate the association of Topo 2α expression with clinical, pathological parameters and prognosis in surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Methods: We present 3 cases referred to our clinic with presumptive diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) were diagnosed as nontuberculous granulomatous diseases.
Results: Three cases were diagnosed as Tularemia, Cat-Scratch Disease (CSD) and idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) respectively.
