“…Despite the unchanged MO count, monocyte distribution width (MDW) was shown to increase in the patients and suggested to be a diagnostic tool in COVID-19 [26]. Leucopenia was also shown to develop in some COVID-19 patients and suggested that WBC count may provide some information about the severity of the cases [27]. Absence of comparison between healthy and COVID-19 infected patients is the limitations of the study.…”

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). Depending on the severity of the disease, fever, cough, shortness of breath, more severe pneumonia and death may occur. The aim of this study is to compare some blood parameters between adult male and female patients with COVID-19 to understand the effect of gender on disease pathogenesis. For this purpose, the levels of blood serum the D-dimer, white blood cells, monocyte, lymphocyte, platelet, glucose, hemoglobin and Prothrombin Time/INR were measured in a total of 3101 COVID-19 patients whose 1649 were males and 1452 were females. Statistically significant differences were observed in platelet, white blood cells, Prothrombin Time/INR, hemoglobin and monocyte levels while no differences were detected in lymphocyte, D-dimer, and blood glucose levels between male and female patients. The results indicate that platelet, white blood cells, Prothrombin Time/INR, hemoglobin and monocyte levels were significantly higher in males as compared to female patients with COVID-19.

“…Venous blood samples of up to 5 ml were taken from the vein by using a 5 ml syringe. The samples were kept for 30 minutes at room temperature and then the tubes were transported to centrifugation at 1800 rpm for twenty minutes at room temperature [15]. Serum was kept in separate tubes under frozen conditions until the samples were used for albumin and C-reactive protein tests.…”

Background. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is defined as an “inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine”. The main forms of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The study aims to evaluate fecal calprotectin with albumin and C-reactive protein as non-invasive indicators of (IBD), mainly in patients with digestive symptoms, who are offered for endoscopic-assessment. Methods. The study includes 104 participants, who are divided into the control, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis groups. Gender, age, BMI, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), as well as fecal calprotectin are measured. Results. The results show a significant increase in C-reactive protein and calprotectin (26.77 ± 1.485 mg/l and 419.8 ± 16.99 µg/mg, respectively) in patients with ulcerative colitis, compared to the control group, which shows a mean value of 6.567 ± 1.802 mg/l and 92.98 ± 10.94 µg/mg for C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin, respectively. The highest value of the CRP result in patients with Crohn’s disease is 40.82 ± 2.191 mg/l and the highest significant difference in calprotectin value is 296.2 ± 17.87 µg/mg, related to the control. Conclusion. The results show high and significant differences in serum C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin in the patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease compared to the healthy people in the control group. In addition, the results show a significant difference in serum C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin between the ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease groups. The results of the study suggest the use of these tests as non-invasive indicators to assess the diagnosis and its differentiation.

BACKGROUND: Information regarding seropositivity and vaccine efficacy among medical students is scarce. This study aims to detect the status of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies among the Sinopharm’s Vero Cell (BBIBP-CorV) vaccinated medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out among medical students of Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal from March through August 2022. The level of SARS-CoV-2 serum- neutralizing IgG antibody was measured and its relation with participants’ age and sex, duration of vaccination, and any comorbid condition was determined. RESULTS: A total of 110 medical students were included in the final analysis, the majority being females (65.5%) and the mean age is 23.1 ± 3.2 years. Most of the students (96.4%) had neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Among the 29 (26.36%) students who received a booster dose, the positivity rate was 100%. The mean IgG levels were 9.57 ± 9.58 μg/ml and 2.91 ± 2.47 μg/ml among students receiving an additional booster dose and among those not receiving it, respectively. In the cohort receiving a booster dose of the vaccine, the average value of neutralizing IgG antibodies was high. In contrast, the ones not receiving it, the titers were low and showed a declining trend. CONCLUSION: Though the dose strategy of the Sinopharm vaccine is effective, booster vaccination may be an important strategy to ensure protection among medical students, who are at high risk of COVID-19 due to constant patient exposure during their training. Further studies should assess vaccine efficacy among individuals who received other vaccines as well.
