Effects of Metformin, Insulin on Hematological Parameters of COVID-19 Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Background: COVID-19 infection caused by SARS-COV-2 can result in multi-organ injuries and significant mortality in severe and critical patients, particularly those with type 2 diabetes as a comorbidity. Metformin and insulin are the main diabetes medications that affect the outcome of patients with COVID-19.

Leptospirosis: Prognostic Model for Patient Mortality in the Transcarpathian Region, Ukraine.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonosis of worldwide distribution with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations that range from subclinical or mild to severe and fatal outcomes. Identifying clinical predictors for the severe form of the disease is critical to reduce disease complications and death. As a result, we conducted a retrospective case-control study to identify clinical markers of mortality in leptospirosis patients from the Transcarpathian region.
