Hematological, inflammatory, and novel biomarkers assessment as an eminent strategy for clinical management of COVID-19.

Background: Different biomarkers have been suggested as novel biomarkers of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) theragnosis. With the aim of having a better clinical management of COVID-19, we decided to determine the relationship between hematological, inflammatory, and novel biomarkers with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgG antibodies.

Methods: Blood samples from 127 confirmed COVID-19 patients aged 11-84 years old were collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies alongside with hematological, inflammatory, and novel biomarkers.

Does the position of shoulder immobilization after reduced anterior glenohumeral dislocation affect coaptation of a Bankart lesion? An arthrographic comparison.

Background: The position of immobilization after anterior shoulder dislocation has been a controversial topic over the past decade. We compared the effect of post-reduction immobilization, whether external rotation or internal rotation, on coaptation of the torn labrum.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients aged <40 years with primary anterior shoulder dislocation without associated fractures were randomized to post-reduction external rotation immobilization (nine patients) or internal rotation (11 patients).

Hip abductors pyomyositis: a case report and review of the literature.

Pyomyositis, an acute hematogenous intramuscular bacterial infection, is an unusual disease in temperate climates. We present the case of a 15-year-old girl who was referred to our centre with pain, fever, and limping.  Magnetic resonance imaging and surgery showed diffuse pus collection in the hip abductor muscles.
