Background: This retrospective study evaluated hematological parameters in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients to gain clinical insights.
Methods: Data from the Emergency Department of Samtah General Hospital, Samtah, Saudi Arabia, were analyzed, focusing on the parameters measured during hospital admission. This study was conducted between April 2020 and October 2021. Associations between hematological parameters and COVID-19 outcomes were examined in 153 participants, including 23 deceased individuals.
Results: The chi-square test results indicated no significant associations (P >0.05) between sex, body mass index (BMI), age, and disease outcome in the study population. However, a significant association was observed between neutrophil percentage and disease outcome, whereas no significant associations were found for red blood cell count, hemoglobin level, monocyte percentage, eosinophil percentage, and basophil percentage. Cox regression analysis revealed a significant association between neutrophil count (considered a categorical covariate) and survival outcomes (P = 0.030). However, specific neutrophil categories (50-70 and >70) were not significantly associated with survival.
Conclusions: Integrating hematological parameters into COVID-19 clinical guidelines and decision-support tools holds promise for enhancing patient care and outcomes.

Distribution of BCR::ABL1 transcript types and response to therapy in pediatric patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Achieving a stable deep molecular response with the option to discontinue tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) treatment is the new therapeutic goal for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Several studies have shown that individuals expressing the BCR::ABL1 e14a2 transcript achieve a major molecular response more rapidly than those with the e13a2 transcript. However, technical issues may have confounded these observations, and data for pediatric patients are limited.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has great potential for laboratory blood tests. The overall aim of this study is to develop a microfluidic sensor for determining the physical properties and hematological parameters of blood based on its dielectric spectra. Impedance was measured in flowing blood to prevent aggregation and sedimentation at frequencies between 40 Hz and 110 MHz.

Background: Real-world data regarding patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutations receiving mobocertinib are limited. This study describes these patients' characteristics and outcomes.
Methods: A chart review was conducted across three countries (Canada, France, and Hong Kong), abstracting data from eligible patients (NCT05207423).
Therapeutic Potential of Clove Oil in Mitigating Cadmium-Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity Through Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antiapoptotic Mechanisms.
Pharmaceuticals (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Clinical Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura 35516, Egypt.
Unlabelled: Hazardous heavy metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), are widely distributed in the environment and cause oxidative stress in various animal and human organs. Clove oil (CLO), a common aromatic spice, has been used as a traditional medication as it has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties.
Background/objectives: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory effects of clove oil (CLO) against hepatorenal toxicity induced by cadmium (Cd).
Etodolac Single Dose Metabolic Profile Elucidation: Pharmacokinetics and Adverse Events in Healthy Volunteers.

January 2025
Health Sciences Postgraduate Program, São Francisco University-USF, Bragança Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil.
Background/objectives: This study investigates the metabolic profile of a single dose of etodolac in healthy volunteers, focusing on pharmacokinetics, clinical parameters, and metabolomic variations to identify biomarkers and pathways linked to drug response, efficacy, and safety.
Methods: Thirty-seven healthy volunteers, enrolled after rigorous health assessments, received a single dose of etodolac (Flancox 500 mg). Pharmacokinetic profiles were determined using tandem mass spectrometry analysis, and the metabolomic profiling was conducted using baseline samples (pre-dose) and samples at maximum drug concentration (post-dose) via liquid chromatography coupled with a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
