ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Primarily, this study aimed to investigate the effect of TPE (therapeutic plasma exchange) treatment on successful ECMO weaning in severe COVID-19 ARDS patients treated with V-V ECMO. METHODS: The study was applied retrospectively on patients over the age of 18 who were hospitalized in the ICU between January 1, 2020 and March 1, 2022. RESULTS: The study was performed on 33 patients, 36.3% (n: 12) of whom received TPE treatment. The rate of successful ECMO weaning was statistically higher in the TPE treatment group (without TPE: 14.3% [n: 3], with TPE: 50% [n: 6], p = 0.044). The 1-month mortality was also statistically lower in the TPE treatment group (p = 0.044). In the logistic analysis, It was found that the risk of unsuccessful ECMO weaning increased 6 times in those who did not receive TPE treatment (OR; 6.0, 95% CI; 1.134-31.735, p = 0.035). CONCLUSION: TPE treatment may increase the success rate of V-V ECMO weaning in severe COVID-19 ARDS patients treated with V-V ECMO.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: In this study, it was aimed to reveal the distance special education interventions carried out for students with different special needs and their families in Turkey during the restriction period due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic through expert perspectives. Findings: According to the results of the study, it was observed that distance education-based interventions for students with special needs and their families were provided by official, private institutions and individuals along with the rapid transition to distance education in Turkey. Discussion: It is predicted that the results of the study may help to draw a forward-looking road map in planning special education interventions in different countries, especially in Turkey. In response to the lockdown conditions, the special education practice in Turkey has become one of the good examples in the process of transition.

ABSTRACT

Amaç: Veno-arteriyel ECMO desteği gerektiren akut fulminant miyokardit ve PRES sendromu COVID-19 hastalığına nadiren eşlik eden tablolardır. Bu her iki tablonun da eşlik ettiği bir COVID-19 hastasının tedavi yönetimini sunmayı amaçladık. Olgu: COVID-19 nedeniyle serviste takipli 28 yaşında kadın hasta beklenmeyen ani bir kardiyak arrest sonrasında mavi kod ekibi tarafından yapılan 30 dakikalık CPR ile spontan dolaşımın geri dönmesi sonrasında orotrakeal entübe halde yoğun bakıma kabul edilmiştir. Yüksek doz noradrenalin, adrenalin ve dopamin infüzyonuna rağmen hipotansif seyreden hastanın bakılan ekokardiyografisinin akut fulminan miyokardit ile uyumlu olması (EF %20) üzerine hastaya mekanik dolaşım desteği amaçlı Veno-arteriyel ECMO desteği başlandı. Hastanın yoğun bakım kabulünün 6. gününde vazopressor/inotrop desteğinin minimale düşmesi, EF’nin %40’a çıkması ve ECMO kan akımının dakikada 500 mL’ye kadar gerilemesi üzerine ECMO cihazından weaning uygulanmıştır. Hastanın yoğun bakım kabulünün 15. günü bilinci tamamen açıldı ve mekanik ventilatörden weaning sağlandı. Hastada yoğun bakım kabulünün 18. gününde enfeksiyon parametreleri gerilerken ve genel klinik durumu iyiye giderken akut hipertansiyon (170/110), ateş (>38 °C), bilinç bozukluğu, jeneralize nöbetler, kusma, görme/konuşma bozukluğu gelişmiştir. Klinik tablonun düzelmemesi üzerine 24 saat sonra çekilen kraniyal MR görüntülemesi PRES sendromuyla uyumlu bulundu (Şekil 1). PRES için uygulanan semptomatik antihipertansif, antiepileptik ve intrakraniyal antiödem tedaviyle bilinci giderek düzelerek 1 hafta sonrasında klinik semptomları tamamen geriledi. Sonuç: Hem miyokardit hem PRES tablosu COVID-19 hastalığında nadiren tanı almaktadır, fakat sunduğumuz olguda bu iki tabloyu tek bir hastada saptadık. Miyokardit ve PRES erken tanı ve tedavi edilmesi gereken ciddi tablolardır. Miyokardit tablosu olgumuzda olduğu gibi kardiyojenik şok ve arreste kadar giden ciddi hayati tehlikeye yol açabilir, Veno-arteriyel-ECMO miyokardite bağlı kardiyojenik şok tedavisinde etkili ve hayat kurtarıcı bir tedavidir. PRES tablosunun pek çok risk faktörünün olduğu bilinmekte olup COVID-19 hastalarında da gelişebileceği bilinmelidir. Bu tablonun erken tanısı ve tedavisiyle klinik iyileşme hızla gerçekleşebilir;bununla birlikte oluşabilecek kalıcı nörolojik hasar ve mortalite önlenebilir.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Azithromycin is used to treat pediatric COVID-19 patients. It can also prolong the QT interval in adults. This study assessed the effects of azithromycin on ventricular repolarization in children with COVID-19. Method: The study prospectively enrolled children with COVID-19 who received azithromycin between July and August 2020. An electrocardiogram was performed before, one, three, and five days post-treatment. Using ImageJ®, the following parameters were measured: QT max, QT min, Tp-e max, and Tp-e min. The parameters QTc max, QTc min, Tp-ec max, Tp-ec min, QTcd, Tp-ecd, and the QTc/Tp-ec ratio were calculated using Bazett's formula. Results: The study included 105 pediatric patients (mean age 9.8±5.3 years). The pretreatment heart rate was higher than after treatment (before 92 [79-108]/min vs. Day 1 82 [69-108)]/min vs. Day 3 80 [68-92.2]/min vs. Day 5 81 [70-92]/min; p=0.05). Conclusion: Azithromycin does not affect the ventricular repolarization parameters on ECG in pediatric COVID-19 cases.


Introdução: A azitromicina (AZ) é utilizada no tratamento da COVID-19 em pediatria. Como este fármaco pode prolongar o intervalo QT nos adultos, este estudo avaliou os efeitos da AZ na repolarização ventricular de crianças com COVID-19. Método: Este estudo prospetivo incluiu crianças com COVID-19 que foram tratadas com AZ em julho-agosto 2020. Foi efetuado um eletrocardiograma (ECG) antes e um, 3 e 5 dias após o tratamento. Utilizando ImageJ ®, foram medidos os parâmetros seguintes: QT max, QT min, Tp-e max, e Tp-e min. Os parâmetros QTc min, Tp-ec max, Tp-ec min, QTcd, Tp-ecd e QTc/Tp-ec ratio foram calculados utilizando a fórmula Bazett. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 105 doentes pediátricos (idade média 9,8±5,3 anos). A frequência cardíaca no pré-tratamento foi mais elevada do que após o tratamento (antes 92 [79­108]/min versus dia 1 82 [69­108)]/min versus dia 3 80 [68­92,2]/min versus dia 5 81 [70­92]/min; p=0,05). Conclusão: A AZ não afeta os parâmetros de repolarização ventricular no ECG nos casos pediátricos da COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

People with diabetes mellitus are more vulnerable to viral infections including influenza and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Fatal pneumonia and cytokine storm is a contributor to the mortality. We hypothesized that aberrant glycemic control induces an immune dysregulation, which compromises the anti-viral immunity and promotes inflammation by altering the balance of the protective T-regulatory cells (Tregs) and IL-17 responses. Indeed, comparison of the peripheral blood lymphocytes in a limited cohort of healthy controls (HC;n=4) and people with diabetes (n=9) showed profound immune dysregulation. As compared to HC (66±21 x10
