background coronary heart disease (chd) is the leading cause of death worldwide. research indicates that coronary atherosclerosis is the most frequent cause of chd. evidence is scarce concerning the clinical efficacy of fibrinogen or neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (nlr) measurement in risk-stratifying patients with chronic stable angina. conclusions nlr and fibrinogen predicted cad, independent of...

OBJECTIVES Various inflammation-based prognostic scores have been associated with poor survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and neutrophils display important roles. However, few studies have illuminated the relationship between preoperative aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to neutrophil ratio index (ANRI) and poor prognosis of HCC. We aimed to clarify the prognostic value o...

We read the article by Yuksel et al. (1) entitled " White blood cell counts and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis of testicular cancer: a simple secondary serum tumor marker " published in your journal. This is a very interesting study which is very well-designed and presented. Yuksel and coworkers has evaluated the white blood cell (WBC) counts and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio ...

Introduction Human coronaviruses, identified in the 1960s, are known culprits of respiratory infections. Classified into alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subgroups, these viruses have capacity to transition from animal reservoirs causing severe ailments humans. Notable outbreaks like 2003 acute distress syndrome (SARS) epidemic ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic underscore recurr...

background helicobacter pylori is responsible for one of the most common human infections and is a major risk factor for stomach ulcer disease and gastric cancer. h. pylori infection has been reported to be associated with generation and development of coronary artery disease (cad). moreover, diabetic patients positive for h. pylori infection showed a higher prevalence of cad compared to h. pyl...

BACKGROUND Several studies have reported that an elevation in neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is correlated with poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer, but in rectal cancer (RC), it has been reported only in a few studies. It is necessary to separate colon cancer and rectal cancer to clarify the prognostic significance of NLR, especially in patients who received chemoradiotherapy....

Annotation. Changes in the complete blood count (CBC) that were recorded patients against background of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) attracted attention many researchers from beginning pandemic, especially terms assessing prognosis, severity course disease a particular patient. It should be noted changes CBC can both reactive and systemic response or even reflect toxic effects this on bone ...

BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for progression free survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 45 patients diagnosed with metastatic RCC previously treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors from two centers, Akdeniz University Hospital and Afyon Kocatepe University. The pro...

Background: The present study aimed to compare the complete blood count (CBC) indices between COVID-19 patients and the control group, and assess the relationship of these indices with COVID-19 prognosis given the role of complete blood counts in the COVID-19 prognosis. Methods: COVID-19 patients (confirmed by PCR or CT-Scan) who visited Imam Hospital in Sari were selected in this case-control...

Objective: Immune plasma therapy, a method employed for passive immunization, has been utilized as treatment modality based on historical precedents during the Covid-19 pandemic, global crisis resulting in unfortunate demise of countless individuals. The objective this study is to investigate impact immune therapy laboratory parameters and overall survival rate patients with pneumonia. Material...
