Case Report: We reported a premature neonate (31 weeks gestational age, weight 1700 g) with subclinical myocarditis born to a mother with COVID-19. Her mother had no symptoms and confirmed infection with SARS CoV-2 during pregnancy. Four days after delivery, the mother was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. The neonate had positive C-Reactive Protein (CRP), elevated cardiac enzymes, and lymphopenia but negative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction assays (real-time PCR). Her subclinical myocarditis was treated with Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and inotrope. We did not use antiviral therapy in medical treatment. The neonate was discharged 3 weeks after admission with normal cardiac biomarkers enzyme levels and cardiac function in echocardiography. Her follow-up chest x-ray after two weeks was also normal.

Background: Delayed Post-Hypoxic Leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a demyelinating syndrome that typically occurs in the form of progressive acute encephalopathy from a few days to weeks after apparent recovery from a coma due to prolonged cerebral hypoxia. In this article, we present a case that developed spastic weakness of the lower extremities 3 months after hypoxic coma. The patient was eventually treated following a diagnosis of DPHL.

Article type: Case Report Background: Psilocybin mushroom, which is worldwide famous as magic mushroom, is a relatively well-characterized hallucinogen manifesting a diverse dose-dependently spectrum of effects on healthy humans. As psilocybin has been increasingly abused among the youth, this research aimed to review the effects of the psilocybin administration, which is considered as either a good or bad trip among the consumers. Case Report: This research reported a 20-year-old man who presented with severe thunderclap headache and consequent subarachnoid hemorrhage as a result of magic mushroom consumption. Conclusion: The neurologic presentation of psilocybin could be various, which might lead to emergent situations as subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the notion of the harmlessness of magic mushroom was called into question.

Article type: Case Report Background: Lidocaine ingestion in children can cause lethal neurological and cardiac effects. We report the case of severe neurological disorders due to lidocaine ingestion. Case Report: An 8-month-old girl presented to the emergency ward in full cardiac and respiratory arrest, was cyanotic, and hypoxic due to ingestion of 7-8 puffs of lidocaine administered to her mistakenly by her grandmother instead of common cold medication. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was conducted on the infant. Afterward, intralipid emulsion therapy was performed in addition to respiratory ventilation, bicarbonate treatment, and anticonvulsive therapy. The child was breathing spontaneously two days later and was extubated. Subsequently, the infant opened her eyes and had a low response to stimuli. She was later discharged with severe neurological disorders due to low reflection and hypotonia without swallowing and movement. Conclusion: The use of lidocaine may result in cardiovascular and CNS toxicity, particularly in children. Regarding the potential disadvantages of lidocaine, physicians have to give instructions to minimize the risk of overuse or accidental ingestion of lidocaine by patients.

Article type: Case Report Background: The current report presents the clinical presentations and paraclinical findings of the second confirmed mortality case of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Qom, Iran, with an emphasis on the results of the direct cardiac consequences of COVID-19 infection. Case Report: A 63-year-old male patient was admitted to the Emergency Department of Kamkar-Arabnia hospital in Qom, with productive coughs, chills, anorexia, and fever. The patient had taken no recent trips and had no exposure to individuals with respiratory symptoms. Pulmonary auscultation and related imaging indicated serious pulmonary involvements. Laboratory findings showed evidence of anemia, uremia, hepatic dysfunction, and cardiac involvement, including electrocardiography changes, cardiac enzyme elevation, and relatively large cardiac space in the chest X-ray. Mortality occurred by cardiopulmonary arrest with a prominent feature of asystole and no little response to long durations of resuscitation which could originate from both acute respiratory distress syndrome as well as direct cardiac involvement. Conclusion: Considering the enormous capability of coronaviruses for miscellaneous pathogenesis and outstanding mortality rate of COVID-19, it is necessary to pay more concentrated attention to the direct cardiac consequences of this disease.

Article type: Review article Background and Aim: Asthma is an inflammatory airway disease and T helper 2 cytokines (i.e., interleukin 4, interleukin 5 [IL-5], and interleukin 13) have an important role in asthma pathology. Blood vessels in lung parenchyma and airway wall serve as the sources for inflammatory cells. The IL-5 leads to eosinophilic inflammation. The adhesion molecules on the endothelium and immune cells allow for the translocation of eosinophils. The vessels of the lung may play the main role in the cell migration and pathophysiology of asthma. Materials and Methods: Several keywords were searched in databases, and out of 495 manuscripts 178 studies were selected. At least, 19 manuscripts were used as support of the above-mentioned hypothesis. Results: We hypothesized that airway vessels highly have leaks for eosinophils, and eosinophil migration from the endothelium of these vessels is easier than the endothelium of other tissues. Severe vascular leak and easy eosinophil migration in lung vessels cause inflammation leading to severe asthma phenotype; however, similar inflammation does not occur in other organs. The treatment of asthma is difficult and the control of cell migration needs to manipulate cell adhesion molecules. Conclusion: The lung endothelial molecules may have the potential to develop new treatments for asthma.
