The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated the identification of biomarkers that can predict disease severity, particularly in vulnerable populations such as individuals with diabetes. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of inflammatory and liver function markers, specifically derived Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (dNLR), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)-to-lymphocyte ratio (ALRI), AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), and Systemic Inflammation Index (SII), in COVID-19 patients with and without diabetes. This cross-sectional study included 336 participants, comprising 168 patients with diabetes matched with 168 without, based on gender, body mass index (BMI), and COVID-19 severity at hospitalization.

- * A study at "Victor Babes" Hospital included 180 patients, revealing that those with both CHF and COPD experienced the greatest HRQoL deterioration, reflected in longer hospital stays and lower initial oxygen saturation levels.
- * Notably, significant improvements in HRQoL were observed three months after discharge across all groups, highlighting the importance of targeted recovery programs that cater to the complications arising from the coexistence of these chronic conditions. *
Recent studies hypothesized that vitamin D supplementation and subsequent higher 25(OH)D serum levels could protect against respiratory infections in children. This cross-sectional study, conducted from May 2022 to December 2023 in Timisoara, Romania, aimed to evaluate the potential influence of vitamin D supplementation on the incidence of respiratory infections among preschool-age children. This study examined 215 children over 18 months who were split into a group of patients with recurrent respiratory infections ( = 141) and another group of patients with only one respiratory tract infection in the past 12 months ( = 74).
