background and objective: higher concentration of systemic inflammatory markers is reported in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (osa). levels of inflammatory markers may be associated with severity of osa. objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between level of inflammation markers and osa severity. materials and methods: fifty six patients with symptoms and signs of osa f...

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is a condition associated with inflammation in lungs and airways. the impacts of inflammatory process is not limited to respiratory system but extend to extrapulmonary organs with resultant complications involving endocrine, metabolic and cardiovascular systems. the extent and severity of inflammation may be partly estimated by serum measurement of s...

Background: Low vitamin D has been linked to enhance inflammatory markers in various pathological conditions. We aimed to evaluate the urinary tract infection (UTI)-associated hematological and inflammatory markers mediated by low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Methods: Vitamin D level, hematological indices (Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], Monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio [M...

alzheimer disease (ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia. increasing evidence suggests that alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is not restricted to the neuronal compartment, but includes strong interactions with immunological mechanisms in the brain. in vitro and animal studies have linked neuroinflammation to alzheimer's disease (ad) pathology. studie...

objective(s): the effect of the extract of crocus sativus and its constituent, safranal on inflammatory markers in sensitized guinea pigs was examined.   materials and methods: ovalbumin (oa) sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group s), or drinking water containing three concentrations of safranal, three concentrations of extract and one concentration of dexamethasone, (n=6...

background the association between inflammatory markers and the combination of the smoking status plus a number of components of the metabolic syndrome was not fully evaluated in male japanese subjects. objectives to demonstrate the association between inflammatory markers and the number of components of the metabolic syndrome by considering smoking status. patients and methods a total of 3,017...
