This review assessed the literature regarding the frequency, pathology, risk factors, and prognosis of the long-term neurocognitive effects of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. This review demonstrated that children and adolescents had various persistent neurocognitive problems related to COVID-19. The heterogeneity of studies prevents from drawing firm conclusions, as there were differences between study populations and designs in terms of disease severity and time of assessment.

The management of patient with PE requires a multidisciplinary approach. A detailed treatment algorithm should be developed with the collaboration of emergency medicine, cardiology, interventional radiology, and thoracic surgery experts. ABSTRACT Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when the pulmonary arterial system is blocked by a thrombus. Mortality is attributed to the right ventricle failure due to the increased pressure load. In this case, patient was successfully treated with catheter-mediated local thrombolytic therapy by a Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT). A 70-year-old male patient was transferred to our emergency department for further evaluation and treatment, with a prediagnosed PE. Consultant physicians (PERT) of cardiology, pulmonology, interventional radiology, and thoracic surgery were called to the emergency department and evaluated the patient. After a deliberate discussion, PERT members reached a consensus on catheter-mediated thrombolytic therapy for the patient. The patient had no symptoms or complaints over that one-month period. We believe that establishing a PERT is essential in terms of beginning the most appropriate treatment faster and reducing the mortality.","PeriodicalId":366898,"journal":{"name":"Cam and Sakura Medical Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132318008","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}

Many biomarkers have been studied in terms of mortality and are used routinely. This study aims to look at the laboratory data of patients transferred to the intensive care as well as the laboratory data on the day of intubation to try to figure out which biomarkers can help predict the intubation procedure. Material and Methods: Patients in the COVID ICU had their records retrospectively reviewed. The study comprised patients who received oxygen therapy at the time of admission and had a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in the ICU, as well as patients who were endotracheal intubation after 24 h due to respiratory distress and/or other complications. Patients’ information was gleaned from the hospital’s computer database and patient files. The data of patients hospitalized in the COVID ICU were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who received oxygen therapythe firstirst admission with PCR test positive at ICU and patients who were intubated after 24 h due to respiratory distress and/or other accompanying reasons were included in the study. The data of the patients were obtained from the hospital computer database and patient files. Results: Lactate dehydrogenase, fibrinogen, ferritin, D-dimer, international normalized ratio (INR), WBC, neutrophil, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), I-granulocyte, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (p<0.001) and pro-C, urea, INR, hemoglobin, lymphocyte scores were compared when the patients were intubated upon admission. There was a statistically significant difference in the values (p<0.05). Conclusion: Acute phase reactants (AFR) increase in COVID-19 pneumonia. In the follow-up of the disease, it can be used in I-granulocytes with NLR as well as the increase in AFR. In this study, in addition to the increase in acute phase reactants compared to the laboratory data of intubated patients admitted to the intensive care unit, we found higher I-granulocyte and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio ratios.","PeriodicalId":366898,"journal":{"name":"Cam and Sakura Medical Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121543393","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}
