Clinical Value of Inflammatory Biomarkers in Determining Severity of COVID-19.

: COVID-19 infection can occur as a mild, moderate, or severe illness. How patients will be more serious has not been fully revealed so far. To investigate the role of systemic inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), mean platelet volume to platelet ratio (MPR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet ratio (NLPR) in determining the severity of COVID-19 patients.

Evaluation of cardiac parameters between survivors and nonsurvivors of COVID-19 patients.

Objective: The present study compares the cardiac parameters of the survivor and nonsurvivor patients with COVID-19 infection.

Methods: This study was conducted in 379 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 disease. Information of 21 nonsurvivor and 358 survivor patients with COVID-19 was obtained from the hospital information management system and analyzed retrospectively.

Evaluation of coagulation parameters: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) between survivors and nonsurvivors.

Objective: This study aims to investigate and compare the coagulation parameters of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with mortal and nonmortal conditions.

Methods: In this study, 511 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were included. Information about 31 deceased and 480 recovered COVID-19 patients was obtained from the hospital information management system and analyzed retrospectively.

De Ritis ratio and biochemical parameters in COVID-19 patients.

Background: The study aimed to examine some biochemical test parameters and De Ritis ratio in COVID-19 patients, considering age and gender.

Method: The study was performed on patients with real-time polymerase chain reaction and computed tomography lung diagnosis. The relationship between lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and De Ritis ratio were analysed in the first blood samples of the patients.

Effects of dexmedetomidine on new oxidative stress markers on renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats: thiol/disulphide homeostasis and the ischaemia-modified albumin.

Objectives: This study investigated the effect of dexmedetomidine on the oxidant-antioxidant (thiol/disulphide) balance.

Methods: A total of 24 rats were divided into four groups. The renal arteries in groups IR (ischaemia/reperfusion) and IR + D (ischaemia/reperfusion + dexmedetomidine) were clamped for 45 min and reperfused for 180 min.
