01). The absolute values of forced vital capacity (FVC) forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV

), peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory flow during mid-expiration (FEF

), and FEV

/FVC ratio showed no significant differences between groups. However, the percentage of the predicted values of FEV

and FVC was…[Read more]

Elevated D-dimer is a predictor of severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients, and heparin use during in-hospital stay has been associated with decreased mortality. COVID-19 patient autopsies have revealed thrombi in the microvasculature, suggesting that hypercoagulability is a prominent feature of organ failure in these patients. Interestingly,…[Read more]

The problem of immobility of legs leading to a potentially life threatening condition including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is well known. The reduced mobility of leg affects a large number of patients in a wide range of clinical scenarios spanning from swelling of the legs to pulmonary embolism. In normal human beings, an elegant system of…[Read more]
