Background: Paraneoplastic inflammatory syndrome (PIS) with fever and biological inflammation is a rare but severe condition often caused by the systemic production of interleukin 6 (IL-6) by cancer cells. We report on the efficacy of tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, in 35 patients with severe PIS.
Patients And Methods: All 35 patients with solid cancers (sarcomas, lung carcinoma, and breast carcinoma) diagnosed with a PIS from 2019 to 2024 treated with tocilizumab were analyzed in this single-center study (health authorities' approval R201-004-478).

Objective: are clinically relevant for severity prediction and treatment of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to demonstrate the potential cytokines for severity prediction in the five days after symptom onset and describe the importance of serum cytokine levels for patients with different disease severity.
Materials And Methods: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients and healthy control participants were recruited, and serial sera were collected from COVID-19 patients.

Coronary atherosclerosis (or coronary heart disease [CHD]) is a common cardiovascular disease that seriously damages human health. Percutaneous coronary stent implantation represents the primary treatment option for severe CHD in clinical practice; meanwhile, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is widely used to reduce the risk of postoperative thrombosis. Although the mechanisms of action of the two most commonly used antiplatelet drugs, aspirin and clopidogrel, remain unclear, clinical studies have shown that some patients are susceptible to stent thrombosis-antiplatelet resistance (high on-treatment platelet reactivity [HTPR])-despite using these drugs.

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a serious cardiovascular condition characterized by high rates of morbidity and mortality, with inflammation playing a significant role in the severity of the disease and patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of thrombolytic therapy on inflammatory markers in patients diagnosed with APE.
Study Design And Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively on 138 individuals, 69 with pulmonary embolism and 69 without pulmonary embolism (control), who were admitted to Necmettin Erbakan University between January 2019 and April 2023.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that mainly causes joint damage. The patient experiences loss of appetite, pain, fever, and fatigue. The present study was designed to phytochemically characterize and evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of green-synthesized copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) using the hydroalcoholic extract of roots in an adjuvant-induced arthritic rat model.
