Emerging data postulates that cancer is an important risk factor for disease severity and higher in-hospital mortality amongst patients with COVID-19. From a pathophysiological perspective, COVID-19 induces overproduction of inflammatory cytokines, causing systemic inflammation, hypercoagulability, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The exact mechanisms associated severe in uncertain. Moreove...

Previous reports highlight the role of systemic inflammation in the genesis of non-thyroidal illness syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our objective was to assess whether body mass index and the low-grade systemic inflammation would be associated with changes in thyroid hormone metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes. This was a cross-sectional study of 104 subjects; 52 patients...

The leading positions in terms of frequency, severity the course and high mortality belong to infectious forms acute pancreatitis. However, not all pathophysiological mechanisms development this disorder have been studied. Given that immune responses are an integral part pathogenesis pancreatitis, it is extremely important study relationship between inflammation activation response. This review...
