The ratios of neutrophils to lymphocytes and platelets to lymphocytes may showsignificant inflammatory progression, which may contribute to the development of some majorcomplications and mortality problems as observed in COVID-19. Objective: To examine and investigatethe correlation of neutrophil lymphocytic ratio (NLR) and platelets to lymphocytes ratio (PLR) withincreased mortality risk.Methods: 124 patients admitted to King Abdulaziz hospital with confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled inour study. The blood cell count was used to obtain NLR and PLR. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of NLR and PLR for severity andmortality of admitted patients with COVID-19. The logistic regression model was used to explore therisk factors associated with mortality and severity.Results: The mortality rate was 23.4%. Among non-survivors’ patients’ lymphocyte significantlydeclined with 96.5%, while neutrophil counts increased. The Empirical optimal cut point of NLRcorrelated with mortality is 4.647, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 61% (AUC: 0.847, 95%CI 0.774-0.921; P = 0.001). Moreover, the optimal cut point of PLR associated mortality is 17.358,with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 64% (AUC: 0.791, 95% CI 0.703-0.878; P = 0.005).Conclusions: NLR and PLR variables were significantly correlated with severity and mortality. NLRand PLR can be considered independent biomarkers in COVID-19 patients which play a significant roleto predict mortality cases.","PeriodicalId":15899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"3372-3381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88941090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their incidence is (2-5 %). To date, thepathophysiology of febrile seizures is unknown. But several hypotheses have been supposed that itmay relate with plasma iron level. Such low risk in thalassemic patients whose plasma iron level is highcould give some clues to this hypothesis.Aim of the Study: Determine the risk of febrile seizure in thalassemic patients in comparism with thecorresponding control group.Patients and Methods: This case –control study was conducted on one hundred fifty patients withthalassemia major between six month and six years of age who were visit Babylon center for inheritedblood diseases in the Teaching hospital for maternity and children from April 2019 to January 2020.All medical records of thalassemic patients were thoroughly reviewed and the occurrence of febrileseizures are interviewed and compared with the control group .The children in the control group areneither thalassemic nor has iron deficiency anemia.Results: Febrile seizure was detected in one case of the thalassemic group (0.66%) versus six cases(4%) of the control group. The risk of febrile seizure in the control group was 6 times more than that inthe thalassemia group, which was statistically significant (P =0.036).Conclusion: The risk of febrile seizures in thalassemic patients was (0.16) that of the general childrenpopulation. Thus, iron overload may be a major factor involving the brain metabolism that preventsfebrile seizures.","PeriodicalId":15899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Medicine","volume":"47 1","pages":"3025-3031"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80731629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The facts in the field show that the handling of medical disputes, especially for doctors who commitnegligence, has not been fully implemented according to the provisions of Article 29 of the Health Law,meaning that the handling is not carried out through the first mediation stage, as in the case experienced bydr. Ayu et al. They had to be brought to court accused of committing medical malpractice because they failedto save the patient during a cito-cesarean operation. Dr. Ayu et al. at that time did not fulfill their rights to getmediation. This is because there has been no further regulation governing the procedures, procedures, andrules for implementing mediation, especially health services.
