Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an easy measurable laboratory marker used evaluate systemic inflammation. Elevated NLR associated with poor survival and increased morbidity in cancer cardiovascular disease. However, the usefulness of predict mortality a hospital setting for patients multiple chronic conditions has not been previously examined. In this study, we investigate association between multimorbid medical inpatients. Two hundred thirty in-patients were selected from single...

Abstract Background Molecular networks represent the backbone of molecular activity within cells and provide opportunities for understanding mechanism diseases. While protein-protein interaction data constitute static network maps, integration condition-specific co-expression information provides clues to dynamic features these networks. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a leading cause heart failure. Although previous studies have identified putative biomarkers or therapeutic targets failure,...
