Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) compared to standard lab tests in assessing COVID-19 patients.
- A total of 140 hospitalized patients were monitored, with MR-proADM levels measured on their first and third days in the hospital, alongside other routine tests and the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) to indicate disease severity.
- Significant differences were found in age, hospitalization duration, and MR-proADM levels between patients who recovered and those who did not, indicating that MR-proADM could play a crucial role in identifying high-risk patients.
Background: Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs represent an important osteoarthritis (OA) therapy component, but also a leading cause of gastropathy: one of the most frequent and serious OA therapy complications. The aim of the present study was to study the influence of GI health in an OA population receiving either ginger or diclofenac.
Methods: Forty-three (43) patients with confirmed OA (knee and hip) were included in a randomized controlled study.
