Background and Rationale:
T cells play a critical role in antiviral immunity, their level was dramatically reduced in COVID-19 patients. There is a negative correlation between T cell numbers and cytokines serum level in COVID-19 patients. In those patients, there is up-regulation of inflammatory
Background:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) infection represents a pandemic emergency of dramatic proportions. The clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection often meets the criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with progressive severity ultimately
It is a investigator-initiated, compassionate use, prospective, phase 2b, non randomized, open-label, proof of concept study in which the investigators will evaluate the effects of compassionate-use treatment with IV tirofiban, associated with acetylsalicylic acid PO, clopidogrel PO and fondaparinux
AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
1. Patients The study included 30 patients with chronic kidney failure on dialysis treatment at the Center for Nephrology and Dialysis of the Clinical Center Kragujevac. Inclusion criteria were: regular dialysis treatment for more than 3 months, 3 times a week and hemoglobin values lower than 110g /
INTRODUCTION
Uterine sarcomas are rare malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissues of the uterus including the endometrial stroma, uterine muscle and connective tissue. They represent 1% of female genital tract malignancies and 3-7% of all uterine malignances with a worldwide annual
The study is aimed at evaluating the patients' haemostatic and coagulation profile focusing, in particular, on platelet function. Platelet function will be analyzed utilizing two innovative analytic diagnostic tests, namely i) the Platelet Activity State (PAS) assay and ii) the Thrombin Generation
Inflammation is known to have a detrimental effect on outcome of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) [1, 2] as well as reperfusion injury (RI) [3]. Previous trials have shown correlation between the extent of an inflammatory response and postoperative complications and worse outcomes in
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is defined as fetal growth slower than the normal growth potential of a specific fetus because of genetic or environmental factors. IUGR is associated with a high incidence of perinatal morbidity and mortality. IUGR neonates have a greater risk of hypoxic
This is a prospective randomised controlled clinical trial and follow-up study comparing primary total hip arthroplasty performed either through a direct anterior approach or a lateral approach. At our hospital(i.e. Emergency County Hospital Cluj-Napoca), the lateral transgluteal approach was
Mini-bypass systems have the potential to reduce the problems associated with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass systems by preserving hematocrit, reducing transfusion requirements, and reducing inflammation. Intuitively, this system would be ideal for our smaller Asian patients, who as a result of
1. HYPOTHESIS AND OBJECTIVES PEG-IFN as an immunomodulatory agent could potentiate the antiviral efficacy of patients on long term nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy and improve early indicators of efficacy, HBeAg loss and reduction in qHBsAg. This study will also test whether add-on compared to switch
INTRODUCTION:
In recent years there has been a global trend towards more radical and aggressive approach to thyroid surgery (total or subtotal thyroidectomy against semithyreoeidectomy), almost regardless of the pathological cause, even for benign diseases. There is also developed, a serious

2. Patients and methods: Multicenter,
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the event-free survival of pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma treated with standard induction chemotherapy vs topotecan hydrochloride-containing induction chemotherapy followed by myeloablative autologous stem cell transplantation and consolidation therapy
