Sepsis is a clinical condition causing tissue damage as a result of infection and an exaggerated immune response. Sepsis causes 11 million deaths annually, a third of which are associated with acute lung injury (ALI). Rapid and effective treatment is crucial to improve survival rates.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the survival and demographic data, comorbidity status, and laboratory parameters of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients requiring intensive care.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 236 patients requiring intensive care whose diagnosis was confirmed by the SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.
Objective: (), and (CMV) infections can cause severe morbidity in the fetus when transmissed during pregnancy. In our study, it was aimed to examine the seropositivity rates for , and CMV infections in women of childbearing age who applied to our hospital.
Methods: Anti- IgG, anti- IgM, anti- IgG, anti- IgM, anti-CMV IgG and anti-CMV were studied in women of childbearing age (18-49 years old) who applied to our hospital's outpatient clinics between January 2018 and December 2020.
Article Synopsis
- - Methotrexate (MTX), used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer since 1948, has known toxic effects on tissues but its impact on the spleen, specifically splenotoxicity, has not been extensively explored.
- - In this study, researchers examined how the anti-TNFα agent Adalimumab (Ada) could mitigate MTX-induced toxicity in T lymphocytes and macrophages in rats, showing that Ada reduced the increase in these immune cells following MTX administration.
- - Results indicated a significant difference in cell counts among the groups, suggesting that Ada may help protect against MTX's harmful effects on T lymphocytes and macrophages, positioning it as a potential preventive treatment. *
