In this prospective study, we included 186 patients who were undergoing appendectomy after clinical diagnoses of acute appendicitis. The performance of each test was mea...

متن کاملPhysical activity, white blood cell count, and lung cancer risk in a prospective cohort study.
Previous studies have suggested that physical activity may lower lung cancer risk. The association of physical activity with reduced chronic inflammation provides a potential mechanism, yet few studies have directly related inflammatory markers to cancer incidence. The relation among physical activity, inflammation, and lung cancer risk was evaluated in a prospective cohort of 4,831 subjects, 4...
متن کاملUltrasound and white blood cell counts in suspected acute appendicitis.
