Association between uterine leiomyoma and fragmented QRS waves: a prospective case-control study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between uterine leiomyoma and fragmented QRS, a non-invasive indicator of cardiovascular risk and myocardial ischemia, in women with uterine leiomyoma. ⋯ This study provides valuable insights into the relationship between uterine leiomyoma and fragmented QRS. The presence of fragmented QRS was identified as an independent risk factor for the presence of leiomyoma. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms connecting uterine leiomyoma and cardiovascular health.

Use of high-dose steroid therapy: addition of anakinra in the treatment of severe COVID-19.
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effects of the addition of anakinra to high-dose steroid therapy in COVID-19 patients with macrophage activation syndrome. ⋯ The addition of anakinra to steroid treatment resulted in a significant decrease in biochemical parameters. However, no significant difference was observed in the oxygen status between the groups. The addition of anakinra to steroid treatment did not decrease mortality. Clinicians should be aware of the complications of anti-inflammatory therapies.
