Abstract	Background: This review focuses on the frequency of symptoms in COVID-19 in comparison to SARS, influenza and common cold. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the knowledge about the clinical features, symptoms and differences between patients with COVID-19, SARS, influenza, and common cold. The research can help ear, nose and throat specialists and other health practitioners manage patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: The biomedical databases used in the study included PubMed and MEDLINE. Statistical analysis using the Z-score test assessed which symptoms were more characteristic of COVID-19 than other viral diseases. Results: Among individuals with COVID-19, the most frequently reported symptoms were cough (70%), fever (45%), muscular pain (29%), and headache (21%), whereas sore throat (12%), and rhinorrhea (4%) were observed at lower rates. Fever was identified as most frequent in COVID-19 (74%), appearing at a higher rate in those cases than in influenza (68%) or the common cold (40%) (p < 0.05). In comparison to other viral diseases, sore throat was rarely reported in COVID-19 and SARS (12% and 18%, respectively) (p < 0.05). In influenza and common cold, a cough was identified in 93% and 80% of cases (p < 0.05). Headache, rhinorrhea, muscular pain, and sore throat were more common in influenza (91%, 91%, 94%, and 84%, respectively) and common cold (89%, 81%, 94%, and 84%, respectively) than in COVID-19 (21%, 4%, 29%, and 12%, respectively) and SARS (45%, 12%, 55%, and 18%, respectively) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the analysis show that a greater number of general symptoms should lead to a diagnosis of influenza or common cold rather than COVID-19.

Abstract	Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign tumour of the larynx. Schwannomas derive from the Schwann cells. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best imaging tool for suggesting the diagnosis. We report case of laryngeal schwannoma. The case was a 61-year-old man with a 1-year history of dysphonia and stridor. Laryngoscopy revealed a submucosal mass of the glottic area. A computed tomography scan of the larynx showed an 26(CC) x 18 (TR) x 24 (AP)mm expansile mass in the glottic area. Histopathological examination diagnosed a schwannoma of the larynx. External surgeries were successfully performed. Diagnosis and specific treatment are discussed.

Abstract	Aims: The aim of the study was to compare two methods of calculating pelvic incidence (PI) and pelvic tilt (PT), either by using the femoral heads or acetabular domes to determine the bicoxofemoral axis, in patients with unilateral or bilateral primary hip osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: PI and PT were measured on standing lateral radiographs of the spine in two groups: 50 patients with unilateral (Group I) and 50 patients with bilateral hip OA (Group II), using the femoral heads or acetabular domes to define the bicoxofemoral axis. Agreement between the methods was determined by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the standard error of measurement (SEm). The intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability of the two methods were analyzed on 31 radiographs in both groups to calculate ICC and SEm. Results: In both groups, excellent agreement between the two methods was obtained, with ICC of 0.99 and SEm 0.3° for Group I, and ICC 0.99 and SEm 0.4° for Group II. The intraobserver reproducibility was excellent for both methods in both groups, with an ICC of at least 0.97 and SEm not exceeding 0.8°. The study also revealed excellent interobserver reliability for both methods in both groups, with ICC 0.99 and SEm 0.5° or less. Conclusion: Either the femoral heads or acetabular domes can be used to define the bicoxofemoral axis on the lateral standing radiographs of the spine for measuring PI and PT in patients with idiopathic unilateral or bilateral hip OA.

Abstract	Chronic oxidative stress (OS) can be an important factor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression; however, there are no data on the extent/consequence of OS after transfusion of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and platelet concentrates (PCs), which are commonly used in the treatment of leukemia-associated anemia and thrombocytopenia. We aimed to investigate the effects of pRBC/PC transfusion on the OS markers, i.e., thiol and carbonyl (CO) groups, 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), advanced glycation end products (AGE), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), SOD, GST, and LDH, in the blood plasma of AML patients, before and 24 h post-transfusion. In this exploratory study, 52 patients were examined, of which 27 were transfused with pRBCs and 25 with PCs. Age-matched healthy subjects were also enrolled as controls. Our results showed the oxidation of thiols, increased 3-NT, AGE levels, and decreased TAC in AML groups versus controls. After pRBC transfusion, CO groups, AGE, and 3-NT significantly increased (by approximately 30, 23, and 35%;

Abstract	Chronic oxidative stress (OS) can be an important factor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression; however, there are no data on the extent/consequence of OS after transfusion of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and platelet concentrates (PCs), which are commonly used in the treatment of leukemia-associated anemia and thrombocytopenia. We aimed to investigate the effects of pRBC/PC transfusion on the OS markers, i.e., thiol and carbonyl (CO) groups, 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), advanced glycation end products (AGE), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), SOD, GST, and LDH, in the blood plasma of AML patients, before and 24 h post-transfusion. In this exploratory study, 52 patients were examined, of which 27 were transfused with pRBCs and 25 with PCs. Age-matched healthy subjects were also enrolled as controls. Our results showed the oxidation of thiols, increased 3-NT, AGE levels, and decreased TAC in AML groups versus controls. After pRBC transfusion, CO groups, AGE, and 3-NT significantly increased (by approximately 30, 23, and 35%; p < 0.05, p < 0.05, and p < 0.01, respectively) while thiols reduced (by 18%; p < 0.05). The PC transfusion resulted in the raise of TBARS and AGE (by 45%; p < 0.01 and 31%; p < 0.001), respectively). Other variables showed no significant post-transfusion changes. In conclusion, transfusion of both pRBCs and PCs was associated with an increased OS; however, transfusing the former may have more severe consequences, since it is associated with the irreversible oxidative/nitrative modifications of plasma proteins.

Abstract	The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone union, complication rate, clinical and functional outcomes of long-stemmed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with periprosthetic femoral or tibial shaft fractures and in patients with femoral or tibial shaft fractures with coexisting advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). This retrospective study comprised 25 patients who underwent surgery due to tibial or femoral shaft fractures: (1) with coexisting severe knee OA or (2) with a periprosthetic fracture requiring implant exchange. In all cases, fracture stabilization was performed intramedullary with the use of long-stemmed implants without the use of additional fixation material (plates, screws, or cerclage). Bone union was achieved in 22/25 patients (88%). One patient required revision with additional plate stabilization due to non-union, and asymptomatic partial bone union was observed in two cases. The group with periprosthetic fractures demonstrated good clinical (mean 73.1 ± 13.3) and moderate functional (mean 59.2 ± 18.8) outcomes in the Knee Society Scoring system (KSS). In the group with shaft fracture and coexisting OA significantly higher clinical (excellent results, mean 84.1 ± 11;

Abstract	The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone union, complication rate, clinical and functional outcomes of long-stemmed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with periprosthetic femoral or tibial shaft fractures and in patients with femoral or tibial shaft fractures with coexisting advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). This retrospective study comprised 25 patients who underwent surgery due to tibial or femoral shaft fractures: (1) with coexisting severe knee OA or (2) with a periprosthetic fracture requiring implant exchange. In all cases, fracture stabilization was performed intramedullary with the use of long-stemmed implants without the use of additional fixation material (plates, screws, or cerclage). Bone union was achieved in 22/25 patients (88%). One patient required revision with additional plate stabilization due to non-union, and asymptomatic partial bone union was observed in two cases. The group with periprosthetic fractures demonstrated good clinical (mean 73.1 ± 13.3) and moderate functional (mean 59.2 ± 18.8) outcomes in the Knee Society Scoring system (KSS). In the group with shaft fracture and coexisting OA significantly higher clinical (excellent results, mean 84.1 ± 11; p = 0.03) and functional (good results, mean 76.2 ± 20.6; p = 0.04) results were noted. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of range of motion (ROM) or complication rate between these two groups. One-stage TKA with a long-stemmed implant without the use of additional fixation material is an effective method for the treatment of femoral or tibial shaft fractures in patients who require joint replacement. Despite being technically demanding, the approach yields bone union and moderate to excellent clinical and functional outcomes with a relatively low complication rate.

Abstract	Background: The original knee megaprostheses with fixed or rotating hinge articulation were custom made and only used for reconstruction of the knee following distal femoral or proximal tibial tumor resections. The aim of the study was to analyze the short- and mid-term results of revision total knee arthroplasty with Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS) used in difficult situations not amenable to reconstruction with standard total knee replacement implants. Materials and methods: Nine patients (9 knees) were treated with this comprehensive modular implant system, with a mean age of 73.7 years (range 56-83 years) and a mean followup of 5 years (range 3-8 years). Two patients were treated for distal femoral nonunion, five for distal femur periprosthetic fracture and two for periprosthetic joint infection. Results: The mean Knee Society Score: Knee and functional scores were 77.9 and 40 points, respectively. All demonstrated full extension and flexion was at least 90°. Recurrence of infection was present in one patient. No signs of loosening, dislocation, or implant failure were observed. Conclusions: Based on our small series of patients that represent severe cases, GMRS provides relatively good mid-term functional results, pain relief, and good implant survivorship with a low complication rate. This salvage procedure allows elderly, infirm patients to regain early ambulatory ability.
