- summary: Limitations and Recommendations The results of the present review may be limited in various aspects, as there is no specific system for the registration of COVID-19 vaccine side effects in different countries. Conclusion: This systematic review indicates that inactivated COVID-19 vaccines, including Sinovac, Sinopharm, and Bharat Biotech, as well as the protein subunit vaccines (Novavax) can be considered as safe choices due to having milder side effects and fewer severe life-threatening adverse events.

Surgical intervention is required in such cases, which make up less than 1% of ingested foreign body cases (11).

- summary: (7) studied the long-term cardiovascular outcomes of occluded culprit arteries in NSTEMI patients and found lower rates of mortality in ATO NSTEMI patients when compared with NSTEMI patients without ATO with an average follow up of 4.9 years (12% vs. 18%, p<0.01), despite the increased 30-day MACE observed in this group (6.7% vs. 3.8%, p<0.001). Here, we review articles that studied the frequency and cardiovascular outcomes of ATO in NSTEMI patients compared with those without ATO.

- summary: Multiple logistic regression analysis of clini- cal risk factors for ICU admission Table 2 shows the results of multiple regression analysis of independent clinical risk factors of COVID-19 patients’ need for ICU admission. Conclusions The results of our study showed that clinical risk factors such as hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, heart dis- ease, chronic kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, seizures, and gender were predictors of patients’ admission to the ICU, but oxygen saturation level, increasing age, respiratory dis- tress, and reduced level of consciousness were identified as independent predictors of need for ICU admission among COVID-19 patients.

In contrast, the area under the curve of WBC count (AUC = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.52-0.63; p = 0.22), platelet count (AUC = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.38-0.49; p = 0.049), PLR (AUC = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.52-0.62; p = 0.026), and MPV (AUC = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.49-0.60; p = 0.193) showed low accuracy in predicting complicated acute appendicitis.

- summary: Although CT scan can be very useful for eval- uation of chest trauma patients, especially those with lung parenchyma injuries, hemothorax, and pneumotho- rax, the nephrotoxicity due to contrast material, cumula- tive dose of radiation, and the high cost of CT scan are problems that cannot be overlooked (6). Among inju- ries due to trauma, chest trauma is responsible for 25% of deaths due to trauma and 50% of trauma-related deaths (4, 5).

- summary: Although there are reports about acute ATS poisoning (8-11), to the best of our knowledge there are limited data about prognostic factors of mortality in acute ATS poisoning cases (12, 13). In our study, lower serum HCO3, higher PCO2 and low level of consciousness on admission were considered as predict- ing factors of mortality in ATS poisoning cases.

- summary: Abstract: Introduction: A number of studies have shown the association between serum adiponectin level and the nutri- tional status. Chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical vari- ables (NUTRIC score, and SGA score) between patients with serum adiponectin level of <15mg/L and ≥15 mg/L. Indepen- dent samples T test was applied to compare the continuous data (BMI, fat body mass, lean body mass, APM, and MAUAC) between the two groups at 24hours after admission, day 6 and day 13 of staying in the ICU.

According to WHO report, COVID-19 disease among children seems to be rare with mild symptoms, about 2.4% of total cases were re- ported in children and adolescents (aged under 19 years), while older cases aged over 60 years and those with a back- ground of chronic diseases were at higher risk of developing severe disease and death (22).

- summary: If our observations show that trichomonads infection could develop during the late phase of ARDS, the deleterious action of trichomonads remains to be proven. So, on slides colored us- ing MGG, amoeboid trichomonads do not harbor a familiar appearance neither for parasitologists nor for cytopatholo- gists.

- summary: According to this study, the redox perturbation oc- curred in burn injury which was measured and proved by decreased GSH/GSSG ratio as well as the shift of PAB in favour of oxidants. The subsequent transportation of these free radi- cals to distant parts through blood flow may explain one of the mechanisms by which other organs such as liver, heart and lungs can get damaged in patients with burn injury (5).
