Rationale: There are no data evaluating the association of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C- reactive protein (CRP) with epicardial fat tissue thickness (EFTT) in elderly metabolic syndrome (MS) patients. In this study, we tried investigate relationship EFTT CRP NLR patients over 65 years.

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between C reactive protein levels and clinical and radiological parameters with delayed ischemic neurological deficits and outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS One hundred adult patients with aneurismal SAH were prospectively evaluated. Besides the baseline characteristics, daily C-reactive protein levels were prospectively measured un...

background: inflammation and infectious agents such as chlamydia pneumoniae have been associated with cardiovascular disease. objective: to evaluate the serum high sensitivity c - reactive protein (hs-crp) and antibodies against chlamydia pneumoniae and chlamydial heat shock protein-60 (cp-hsp60) in patients with ischemic heart disease (ihd). methods: 62 patients with ihd having either acute my...

the present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, tc-hdl ratio and 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases among iranian adult population. we conducted a cross-sectional study on a total of 2125 adults aged 25 to 65. data of the third national surveillance of risk factors of non-communicable diseases (surfncd-2007) was used. anthropometric indices, bl...

introduction : surgical removal of inferior third molar tooth is associated with post-operative complications such as pain, trismus and edema. decreasing the post-operative inflammation and edema is one of the important goals in drug administration. for management of post-operative pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) and opioids can be administered. c-reactive protein (crp) is o...

Aims Recent studies have shown that C-reactive protein is not just an indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality. Thus, early detection of a continous increase in CRP concentrations may be useful in predicting subsequent development of CVD or metabolic syndrome. The objective of this study was to analyze high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in apparently healthy y...

sepsis is a significant health problem with an estimated 750,000 new cases in the usa annually. it is also the third leading cause of death in developed countries, equaling the number of fatalities from acute myocardial infarction. the high sepsis-related mortalities mean there is an urgent need to improve the diagnosis and management of sepsis patients. the aim of this study was the evaluation...

methods in this study, 150 children diagnosed with liver disease and ascites upon admission to nemazee teaching hospital (shiraz, iran) were examined. patients were divided into spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and sterile ascetic fluid groups according to the pmn count ≥ 250/mm3 in the ascetic fluids. routine laboratory tests were conducted and quantitative c-reactive protein (crp) levels wer...
