Background Objectives: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic disease and significant health concern particularly in endemic regions. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy in dexamethasone treatment on clinical outcomes in CCHF patients.
Methods: We included adult patients diagnosed with CCHF and those whose platelet count dropped to 70,000/mm3 or lower.

- Ocrelizumab (OCR) shows effectiveness in treating multiple sclerosis (MS) but can lead to a "wearing-off phenomenon" (WoP) prior to infusions.
- A study involving 409 MS patients found that a substantial number experienced WoP symptoms, with many reporting issues like fatigue and walking difficulties four weeks before their next dose.
- Factors such as shorter disease duration and longer intervals between doses were associated with increased WoP occurrence, indicating a need for more personalized treatment approaches.

- Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a serious complication in COVID-19 patients, with a study showing it occurred in 2.31% of hospitalized patients, primarily affecting older individuals with existing health issues.
- The study analyzed 693 COVID-19 patients from April 2020 to February 2021, revealing that many AIS cases arose within the first 24 hours, led by total anterior circulation infarction and cardioembolic causes.
- Patients with AIS had a higher prevalence of hypertension and heart disease, with a significant mortality rate, highlighting the need for awareness and monitoring for stroke risks in COVID-19 cases, particularly in older adults.
