Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a simple marker of systemic inflammatory response, has been demonstrated as an independent prognosticator for some solid malignancies, including prostate cancer. In the present study, we evaluated the role of NLR in men who underwent prostate needle biopsy for their initial diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma. Both complete blood counts and free/total (F/T) pr...

BACKGROUND The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was recently shown to be a remarkable prognostic factor in tumors. Moreover, some studies have indicated that the combination of NLR and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be a better prognostic factor. As the combined prognostic value of NLR and PLR in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not clear, we conducted this study to explore t...

This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in resectable gastric cancer (GC). This was a retrospective review of 1030 patients with resectable GC managed between 2005 and 2011. Patients were stratified into 2 groups, those with a preoperative NLR >3.44 and those with a preoperative NLR ≤ 3.44. Clinicopathological data affecting ...

Purpose: The formation and pathophysiology of migraine attacks with aura are still ambiguous. Sterile inflammation is claimed to play a role in the pathogenesis migraine. Neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) an inexpensive practical indicator that can be well detectable from complete blood count (CBC).
 This study, it was aimed compare NLR patients, during aura, without attack.
 Method...

Background: Sepsis is a condition in systemic infection associated with organdysfunction. Interleukin-17 pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by Th-17 cells. C-reactive protein and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been widely used asmarkers of inflammation. The relationship between IL-17 as proinflammatorycytokine CRP NLR has not reported.Objective: This study aims to prove the correlation ...

To characterize the inflammatory process in the bronchial glands of smokers with chronic sputum production, we examined lobar bronchi from 18 subjects undergoing lung resection for localized pulmonary lesions, all with a history of cigarette smoking. Nine of the subjects had symptoms of chronic bronchitis and chronic airflow obstruction, and nine were asymptomatic, with normal lung function. Th...

Purpose: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a poor prognosis in general. Here we sought to evaluate prognostic factors and predictors of response to chemotherapy in good performance (PS=0-I) patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our database and enrolled patients with MPM who received platinum containing chemotherapy (2012-2014). Clinico-pathological and laboratory data were retr...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous metabolic disorder characterized by hyperinsulinemia, abnormal lipid levels, altered hormonal milieu such as elevated androgen and chronic anovulation. PCOS one of the important reasons for infertility. most common cause irregular menstruation with diverse clinical manifestations affecting women reproductive age. Aims Objectives: T...

Abstract Smoking is a severe health problem. has been shown to increase the risk of systemic inflammation. Neutophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) used as marker inflammation and monitors prognosis, morbidity, mortality in many diseases. This study aimed analyze NLR smokers. an observational analytic conducted at Tadulako University, Palu. A total 48 subjects consisted 24 active smokers non-smokers. S...
