Post-COVID Interstitial Lung Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Abstract : Persistent respiratory symptoms and residual lung abnormalities are commonly observed after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. In a subset of patients, these abnormalities meet criteria for post-COVID interstitial lung disease (post-COVID ILD), encompassing a spectrum from resolving inflammatory changes to established fibrotic remodeling. To summarize current evidence regarding definitions, epidemiology, clinical spectrum, and pathophysiological mechanisms of post-COVID ILD, providing a framework for s


Protective Effect of Therapeutic Hypothermia in Patients After Cardiac Arrest

Abstract : Hypoxic–ischemic brain injury remains the leading cause of death and unfavorable neurological outcome in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest. Therapeutic hypothermia was introduced as a neuroprotective intervention aimed at limiting secondary brain injury during the post–cardiac arrest period. Early randomized clinical trials demonstrated improved neurological outcomes in comatose survivors treated with mild hypothermia, leading to widespread adoption of this strategy in


Cancer Pain Management in Oncology Patients: An Evidence-Based Narrative Review

Abstract : Pain is one of the most prevalent and distressing symptoms in patients with cancer and remains a major cause of suffering across all stages of the disease. Despite the availability of effective pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, cancer-related pain is still frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. Contemporary clinical guidelines emphasize the importance of systematic pain assessment, mechanism-oriented therapy, multimodal pharmacological treatment, and early integration o


Gut Microbiome in Chronic Diseases: Functional Alterations, Clinical Implications, and Limitations of Microbiota-Targeted Therapies

Abstract : The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the regulation of metabolism, immune responses, and neuroendocrine communication in the human body. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has highlighted its association with the development and progression of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and depressive disorders. Increasingly, it is emphasized that the key factor is not merely changes in the taxonomic composition of the gut


Serum Potassium in Avalanche Burial Victims as a Prognostic Marker

Abstract : In avalanche victims, the most common cause of death is asphyxia, followed less frequently by trauma and hypothermia. In patients extricated in cardiac arrest, decisions regarding the intensity of treatment-particularly the use of extracorporeal life support and rewarming (ECLS/ECMO)-must be made rapidly and often on the basis of incomplete information. In this context, serum potassium concentration (K⁺) has for many years functioned as a “hard” marker of irreversible cellular death and pr
