This study explored the use of thiol/disulphide homeostasis as a novel oxidative stress marker in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Fifty-five aged 40-57 were divided into two groups: Group I (International Index Erectile Function [IIEF-5] score between 22 and 25, n = 20) II (IIEF-5 < 22, 35). Blood samples used to evaluate hormone levels, lipid profile levels. A novel, fully automated method measured plasma native thiol, total thiol disulphide Mean age, body mass index, testosterone,...

Background: The hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet (HALP) score integrates readily available blood markers that reflect systemic inflammation, nutritional status, immune response, all of which can influence cancer progression. This study investigated the association between HALP clinicopathological characteristics in patients with testicular tumor.
