Misdiagnosed Pneumocystis Pneumonia as COVID-19: A Case Report.

Nonspecific clinical features and imaging findings of COVID-19 may lead to misdiagnosis with other diseases that have specific risks and treatments. Here a patient is reported with Pneumocystis Pneumonia with an undiagnosed HIV disease who was treated for COVID-19 with no response after one week. COVID-19 was diagnosed by CT findings but PCR was negative.

A randomized controlled clinical trial on efficacy and safety of anakinra in patients with severe COVID-19.

Introduction: Hyperinflammatory state has a role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Anakinra could reduce inflammation and help to combat the condition. In this study, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of anakinra (PerkinRA®) in severe COVID-19.

Low-Dose Whole-Lung Irradiation for COVID-19 Pneumonia: Short Course Results.

Purpose: The COVID-19 outbreak is affecting people worldwide. Many infected patients have respiratory involvement that may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of low-dose whole-lung radiation therapy in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Survey on Hypothermia and Hyperthermia in Poisoned Patients in a Unique Referral Hospital, Tehran, Iran.

Background: Body temperature is a critical criterion of health. Drugs and a variety of poisons can affect body temperature in poisoned patients, causing hyperthermia and hyperpyrexia.

Objectives: Our previous study's findings in patients poisoned with organophosphate led us to the goal of this study: obtaining the initial tympanic temperature in patients poisoned by a variety of toxins.

Pharyngeal Aspiration of Complete Upper Denture in 90-Year-Old Man; a Case Report.

Foreign body aspiration is unusual in adults, except those who are debilitated or have neuropsychiatric disorders. It can be a life-threatening situation and it often requires a high index of suspicion, because the diagnosis can be obscure. Prompt diagnosis and intervention through foreign body retrieval are critical to prevent significant morbidity and mortality.

Non-invasive histologic markers of liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Background: An exact histologic staging of liver fibrosis is essential for identifying the best therapeutic strategy and determining the disease prognosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). While liver biopsy has a vital role in the management of liver diseases, it also sustains some limitations hampering its widespread use.

Objectives: In this study, we evaluated and compared several available indices of the severity of liver diseases in patients with hepatitis.
