Nursing theories and conceptual models shape nursing knowledge. This study applied the philosophical and theoretical basis of the Neuman Systems Model, which focuses on the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary nursing prevention for retention, attainment, and maintenance of patient system wellness, to a patient with pre-existing mental health conditions struggling to cope with depression and COVID-19 in a dedicated COVID-19 hospital in an urban area of Iran. The single intrinsic case study design used interviews, nursing observations, and document analysis to evaluate environmental factors and intra-, inter-, and extra-personal stressors. An advanced, outcome-oriented nursing care plan was developed.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FAVIPIRAVIR (T-705) ON THE LUNG TISSUE OF HEALTY RATS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY.

Food Chem Toxicol

January 2025

Department of Histology and Embryology, Erciyes University, Faculty of Medicine, 38039 Kayseri, Turkey. Electronic address:

Favipiravir, a broad-spectrum RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively reduces viral load but has been linked to inflammatory changes in tissues such as the liver and kidneys. High-dose and prolonged use of favipiravir for COVID-19 raises concerns about its potential toxic effects on the lungs, particularly in patients with pre-existing pulmonary conditions. This study investigated favipiravir's effects on lung tissue in healthy rats.

Objective: Controversy exists regarding treatment of symptomatic low-grade spondylolisthesis (LGS). Both one- and two-stage fusions are commonly performed, but it is unclear if one approach is superior. We aim to compare the satisfaction rates and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with LGS undergoing one- versus two-stage lumbar spine surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Analyzed associations of lab parameters, symptoms, and 12 genetic SNPs with COVID-19 severity in 869 hospitalized patients.
  • Confirmed links between pre-existing diabetes and COVID-19 severity, and found a surprising connection between milder cases and loss of smell/taste.
  • Identified specific genetic variants (LZTFL1, IFNAR2) associated with increased susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, suggesting that genetics may help predict clinical outcomes alongside other factors.
