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.

This study explored the prevalence, timing, and severity of this phenomenon in MS patients using the OCR, as well as the associated symptoms and treatment satisfaction.
Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter study across 11 MS centers involving MS patients aged 18-70 years who had received at least two OCR doses.
Article Synopsis
- 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.
