    Abstract Aortitis is the inflammation of the aortic wall. It can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious etiologies. Mycotic aneurysm is a rare, serious medical condition and typically requires prompt treatment with antibiotics, surgical intervention, or endovascular procedures to prevent rupture and complications. Here we reported, a 66-year-old male patient with a medical history of diabetes and hypertension, who presented to the emergency department (ED) with left-sided hemiplegia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed infarction in the right parietooccipital and left occipital lobes, demonstrating an embolic pattern. laboratory analysis revealed elevated levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell (WBC). In order to investigate the possibility of sepsis, a non-contrast chest computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which showed a soft tissue density surrounded by gas in the posterior mediastinum; for which the rupture of esophagus and infected aorta pseudoaneurysm were among differential diagnoses. To confirm the diagnosis, CT angiography was ordered. The infected ruptured pseudo-aneurysm(s) was confirmed and patient underwent thoracotomy surgery.

    Abstract A 59-year-old female with a history of mitral valve replacement presented to emergency department, complaining of sudden-onset retrosternal chest pain since 4 hours ago. Electrocardiogram, laboratory tests, and computed tomography (CT) angiography of aorta were performed and ruled out aortic dissection and cardiovascular events. However, new complaint of odynophagia, dysphagia, and incidental findings in CT angiography proposed esophageal pathologies. After initial workup including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, intramural esophageal hematoma was diagnosed. Laboratory tests revealed significant reduction in the hemoglobin level. Management of warfarin-induced major bleeding in a patient whom anticoagulation was necessary for the prevention of mechanical heart valve thrombosis was challenging. The patient recovered fully with conservative treatment and was discharged on hospital day 14 with low molecular weight heparin. We described a case of intramural esophageal hematoma as a rare condition that could be misdiagnosed as a cardiovascular emergent disease and would be worsened by antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy. Accordingly, it is important to differentiate intramural esophageal hematoma from cardiac ischemic events. Another challenge was correction of coagulation in the presence of mechanical mitral valve. Fortunately, we had a favorable outcome following conservative management.

    Abstract Background: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, multiple studies showed higher rates of severe infection in adults and specifically in male patients, which may be related to differences in androgen receptor (AR) expression. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is one of the AR expression manifestations.
    Aim: To explore AGA severity as a possible risk factor for COVID-19 severity in hospitalized patients.
    Methods: A total of 164 subjects (116 men and 48 females) with confirmed COVID-19 in need of hospitalization were included in this study. An experienced dermatologist examined the correlation of clinical signs of COVID-19 severity with AGA types. For evaluation of the association between categorical variables and comparison of the mean age in three groups of COVID-19 patients, the Fisher's exact test and the analysis of variance were used.
    Results: Our cross-sectional study included 116 male patients (70.7%) with a median age of 65.5 (age range: 22-97) years. Among them, 13.8% required intubation, 15.5% needed intensive care unit (ICU) care, and 70.7% required inward hospitalization. The Hamilton-Norwood Scale (HNS) was as follows: HNS I 14.7%, HNS II 12.1%, HNS III 20.7%, HNS IV 19.8%, HNS IV 29.8%, HNS V 17.2%, HNS VI 13.8%, and HNS VII 1.7%. Also, 29.3% of the patients were female, possessing a median age of 72 (age range: 23-98) years. In this group, 8.3% required intubation, 6.3% required ICU care, and 85.4% needed inpatient ward admission care. The Ludwig Scale (LS) was as follows: LS I 52.1%, LS II 35.4%, and LS III 12.5%.
    Conclusion: The severity of AGA type did not correlate with the severity of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients. Our results were in contrast with other research that suggested AGA severity as a marker of unfavorable outcomes of COVID-19.

    Abstract Introduction: Efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic are still on. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sofosbuvir on length of hospital stay and complications in COVID-19 cases with moderate severity.
    Methods: This randomized clinical trial was done on moderate COVID-19 cases, who were admitted to Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 4/2021 to 9/2021. Eligible patients were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention (sofosbuvir) and control, and their outcomes were compared regarding the length of hospital stay and complications.
    Results: 100 COVID-19 cases were randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients, as the intervention and control groups. The mean age of patients was 50.56 ± 12.23 and 57.1±14.1 years in the intervention and control groups, respectively (p = 0.02). The two groups were similar regarding distribution of gender (p = 0.15), underlying diseases (p = 0.08), the severity of COVID-19 (p = 0.80) at the time of admission, signs and symptoms (p > 0.05), and essential laboratory profile (p > 0.05). The length of hospital stay in the control and intervention groups was 7.7 ± 4.09 days and 4.7±1.6 days, respectively (p = 0.02). None of our patients needed ICU or mechanical ventilation.
    Conclusion: Sofosbuvir may decrease the length of hospital stay of COVID-19 cases with moderate severity, without a significant effect on the rate of intensive care unit (ICU) need and mortality.
