Aim: Regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19), despite antibody measurement alone providing insufficient data, studies evaluating immune responses to vaccination or disease have focused on humoral immunity. Uncoupled humoral and cellular responses may be present after...
Aim: We aimed to reveal the potential roles of periostin, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in inflammation, hypoxia, and tissue damage in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to investigate whether they are useful potential...
Aim: It was aimed to determine predictive markers for the need for intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization in patients with coronavirus infection.
Material and Methods: This study was performed retrospectively from data of patients hospitalized with...
