Short-term efficacy of moderate-intensity rosuvastatin in coronavirus disease 2019 patients: A randomized clinical trial.

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic persists, the exploration of adjunct therapies to mitigate disease severity remains a priority. Statins, known for their pleiotropic effects, have been under investigation for their potential role in managing COVID-19 complications. The study was conducted in a single referral hospital and adhered to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials guidelines.

A rare case of prostate cancer initially presented by disseminated intravascular coagulation-related subdural hemorrhage.

Background: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has been reported in various solid malignancies and is a common coagulation-related complication in prostate cancer. However, DIC has been rarely reported as the initial presentation of prostate cancer. Herein, we reported a patient referring with subdural hemorrhage (SDH) and DIC with an unexplained cause who was later diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Burkitt lymphoma presenting as cecum mass and spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome with hypercalcemia.

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) could be primarily presented with various symptoms. We reported a woman with abdominal pain and mass who later developed spontaneous TLS with hypercalcemia, and was diagnosed with BL. Clinicians should suspect BL in case of any abdominal mass, especially with an aggressive course, to avoid further complications.

Depression, Anxiety, Perceived Stress and Family Support in COVID-19 Patients.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in Iran in February 2020 and then quickly spread to many cities. Different factors contribute to the numerous psychological problems of this pandemic in patients, healthcare workers and the community. This study investigated the prevalence of perceived stress, anxiety and depression in COVID-19 patients hospitalized between March and April 2020 and revealed associations of these factors with social support received from family.

Delayed-onset heparin-induced thrombocytopenia complicated with saddle embolus.

Delayed-onset heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare complication of heparin in which thrombocytopenia and thrombosis occur several days after heparin cessation. We describe a 47-year-old female patient with a history of melanoma and multiple surgeries presented to the emergency department with acute dyspnea and chest pain on the eighth day after discharge.

Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in adrenal adenocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Tumor lysis syndrome is an oncologic emergency that classically occurs following cancer therapy, although spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome can also occur in malignancies, albeit rarely. Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome has previously been reported in some hematologic malignancies, but it rarely happens in solid tumors and seems to be associated with a higher mortality rate. This is the first case of adrenal adenocarcinoma that developed spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome.

Concurrent monoclonal gammopathy and systemic lupus erythematosus in a known case of ulcerative colitis: A case report.

Our patient had previously been diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis. The clinical manifestations of the patient along with laboratory tests such as anti-dsDNA and proteinuria were also positive. Therefore, the clinical manifestation was consistent with SLE.
