Predicting survival in cancer patients: the role of cachexia and hormonal, nutritional and inflammatory markers
BACKGROUND Cancer can lead to weight loss, anorexia, and poor nutritional status, which are associated with decreased survival in cancer patients. METHODS Male cancer patients (n = 136) were followed for a mean time of 4.5 years. Variables were obtained at baseline: cancer stage, albumin, hemoglobin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, bioavailable testosterone, appetite ...
متن کاملInflammatory mediators of pain.
While sensory fibres normally respond to a range of physical and chemical stimuli their activity and metabolism are profoundly altered by a variety of mediators generated by tissue injury and inflammation. These include substances produced by damaged tissue, substances of vascular origin as well as substances released by afferent fibres themselves, sympathetic fibres and various immune cells. T...
متن کاملInflammatory Mediators of Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis gained a stable position in the field of patho-genesis. Vascular changes are a recognized hallmark of cancer growth, inflammatory disorders, and retina disorders, particularly in the context of diabetes. The inflammatory process, defined by the release of mediators from activated neutro-phils, macrophages, and other myeloid cells, intersects with vascular changes, but the nature of...
متن کاملVisceral perception: inflammatory and non-inflammatory mediators.
Visceral hypersensitivity is currently the most widely accepted mechanism responsible for abdominal pain. Inflammatory mediators are known to sensitise primary afferents and to recruit silent nociceptors. Recent evidence suggests that non-inflammatory mediators also have the potential to trigger visceral pain. This sequence of events may constitute part of an alerting system which prompts the c...
متن کاملNeonatal Sepsis and Inflammatory Mediators
Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and its signs and symptoms are nonspecific, which makes the diagnosis difficult. The routinely used laboratory tests are not effective methods of analysis, as they are extremely nonspecific and often cause inappropriate use of antibiotics. Sepsis is the result of an infection associated with a systemic inflammatory response with produc...
