The pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy is still challenging, with recent evidence proving the key role inflammation in damage retinal neurovascular unit. This study aims to investigate predictive value neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR), and systemic index (SII) for (DR) its severity. We performed a retrospective on 129 T2DM patien...

Background and Aims: Fecal calprotectin was approved as a non-invasive screening tool for organic colonic diseases. The aim of this study to evaluate fecal inflammatory indices markers diagnosing differentiating bowel diseases (IBD) colorectal cancer (CRC) in comparison irritable syndrome (IBS) cohort Egyptian patients.
 Methods: In cross-sectional study, calprotectin, neutrophil lymphocyt...

Purpose: We have developed a systemic hepatic-damage index (SHI) based on serum total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein levels (HDL) and determined its prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing resection. Experimental Design: The SHI was analyzed in the training cohort of 188 HCC patients and in the validation cohort of 177 HCC patients. The syste...

We used bilateral median nerve stimuli to find out possible hemispheric dominance in the activation of the second somatosensory cortex, SII. Somatosensory evoked fields (SEFs) were recorded from 14 healthy adults (7 right-handed, 7 left-handed) with a 306-channel neuromagnetometer. Electrical stimuli were applied once every 3 s simultaneously either to the left and right median nerves at the wr...

Objective: To assess the prognostic value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (LACSC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) regimens. Methods: The contribution immune inflammatory response markers (NLR, PLR, LMR, SII), cell...

The methods of (14)C-2-deoxyglucose ((14)C-2DG) metabolic mapping and optical intrinsic signal (OIS) imaging were used to evaluate the response evoked in the contralateral primary somatosensory receiving areas (SI and SII) of anesthetized cats by either 25 Hz ("flutter") or 200 Hz ("vibration") sinusoidal vertical skin displacement stimulation of the central pad on the distal forepaw. Unilatera...
