Background: Wide spectrum of clinical manifestation and severity COVID-19 led to further studies find a simple biomarker used predict the COVID-19. We investigated role mean platelet volume (MPV) distribution width (PDW), widely available parameters, as predictor severity.Methods: conducted single center analytic observational study evaluate relationship between MPV PDW values severities. A tot...

Introduction: Dynamic gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images are a critical component of clinical liver MRI examinations for focal lesion detection and characterization. This is typically performed as a 3D acquisition using chemically-selective fat-saturation, as demonstrated by the volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) sequence. A limitation of this approach is that chemically...

Central noradrenergic pathways are involved in feeding and cardiovascular control, physiological processes altered by obesity. The present studies determined how high-fat feeding and body weight gain alter the sensitivity to the feeding suppression and neural activation to a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, nisoxetine. Acute administration of nisoxetine (saline: 0, 3, 10, and 30 mg/...

BACKGROUND Atherogenic dyslipidemia is particularly common in people with type 2 diabetes (DM2). Platelets from patients with DM2 have increased reactivity and baseline activation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between atherogenic index and hematologic inflammatory markers and to evaluate the relationship between these parameters and associated variables in diabet...

Objective: To investigate leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-Lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW) and CRP in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA). Materials and methods: A retrospective case-controlled study was designed in two groups. Ninety-seven patients co...

INTRODUCTION Thrombocytopenia is a common complication in malaria patients. The relationship between abnormal platelet profile and clinical status in malaria patients is unclear. In low and unstable endemic regions where vivax malaria predominates, the hematologic profiles of malaria patients and their clinical utility are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to characterize the thrombo...

Reliable and uniform fat-suppression is essential for accurate diagnoses in many areas of MR imaging. The purpose of this talk is to provide an overview of water-fat imaging in clinical practice. A review of the relevant physics of chemical shift between water and fat, and how this can be exploited to improve image quality through fat suppression and tissue characterization will be explored. Wa...

PURPOSE To assess electrocardiographically gated spin-echo (SE) and double inversion-recovery fast SE magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the depiction of intramyocardial fat in cadaveric heart specimens and patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A phantom was used to determine the effective in-plane spatial resolution of SE and fast SE MR imagin...
