Aim: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health concern. We set out to investigate the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) at admission for predicting need computed tomography (CT) in mild-TBI. Materials & methods: A retrospective study adult patients who presented with mild-TBI Results: One hundred and thirty met inclusion criteria. Seventy-four had positive CT-findings. The mean NLR-levels presentations were 5.6 ± 4.8. Patients CT-findings significant higher NLR-levels....
Gallbladder cancer (GBC), while infrequent, is the predominant malignancy of biliary tract. The absence clinical symptoms in conjunction with aggressive behavior contributes to delayed diagnosis and unfavorable prognosis. This condition typically remains asymptomatic its initial stages, making detection challenging. Herein, we report a case adenosquamous carcinoma gallbladder 74-year-old Caucasian woman who was admitted due anemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain. Computed...
Traumatic brain injury has been associated with increased blood glucose levels. In the present study, we set out to investigate if level in mild head trauma could predict need for CT. One hundred fifty-nine patients minor TBI (GCS 13-15) and a mean age of 44.8 ± 23.8 years were included study. The most common mechanism was falls. Patients positive CT findings had significantly higher levels than negative findings. Using ROC curve analysis, serum 120 mg dl-1 optimal cutoff value detection...
Maladaptive activation of the immune system plays a key role in pathogenesis chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our aim was to investigate differences circulating cells between type 2 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS-2) patients and CKD without cardiovascular (CVD). CRS-2 were prospectively followed up, with primary endpoint being all-cause mortality.A total 39 stable males 24 male matched for eGFR (CKD-EPI) enrolled. A selected panel cell subsets measured by flow cytometry.Compared patients, displayed...
Cell-cycle analysis has shown the presence of aneuploidy to be associated with poor prognosis. We developed an innovative rapid cell-cycle protocol (the Ioannina protocol) that permitted intraoperative identification neoplastic cells in a plethora malignancies. Herein, we aimed investigate potential role characterization gynecological Women who underwent surgery for malignancies our institution over three-year period were included this study. Permanent section pathology evaluation was used...
Introduction The mechanisms underlying high drug resistance and relapse rates after multi-modal treatment in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis (LM) remain poorly understood. Objective We evaluate the potential translational implications of intra-patient heterogeneity (IPH) comprising primary matched metastatic intratumor (ITH) coupled circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) variability. Methods A total 122 multi-regional perioperative liquid biopsies from 18 were analyzed via...
