Abstract
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) removes cholesterol, an essential component in lipid rafts, and this cholesterol removal can regulate protein attachment to lipid rafts, modulating their functionality in the immune cell response. Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can alter the lipid profile, there is little information on the role of HDL-c and other lipids in prognostic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Mexican population. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of HDL-c and lipid profile on severity and survival of 102 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 first wave. Our findings, derived from univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models, highlighted age and hypertension as significant predictors of survival (HR = 1.04, p = 0.012; HR = 2.78, p = 0.027), while gender, diabetes, and obesity showed no significant impact. Triglycerides and HDL-c levels notably influenced mortality, with elevated triglycerides and lower HDL-c associated with higher mortality risk (p = 0.032). This study underscores the importance of lipid profiles alongside traditional risk factors in assessing COVID-19 risk and outcomes. It contributes to the understanding of COVID-19 patient management and emphasizes the need for further investigation into the role of dyslipidemia in influencing COVID-19 prognosis, potentially aiding in refined risk stratification and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Aim: A gallstone is a stone formed within the gallbladder out of precipitated bile components. Risk factors for gallstones include a family history of gallstones, age, genetic and environmental factors, sedentary lifestyle, high-fat diet, obesity. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of the pandemic process on acute cholecystitis cases.
Material and Method: Patients who applied to hospital between 1st January 2018 and 1st January 2022 and were diagnosed with Acute Cholecystitis were retrospectively screened. The demographic data as age and sex were recorded by dividing the patients into two groups, two years before and two years after the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Results: The 2-year retrospective evaluation before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant increase was found in cases of acute cholecystitis after the pandemic (p
