Relative elevation in baseline leukocyte count predicts first cerebral infarction.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, and leukocyte levels are associated with future risk of ischemic cardiac disease. OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypothesis that relative elevations in leukocyte count in a stroke-free population predict future ischemic stroke (IS). METHODS A population-based prospective cohort study was performed in a multiethnic urban population. Stroke...
متن کاملThe leukocyte count predicts the efficacy of treatment with azathioprine in inflammatory bowel disease.
INTRODUCTION Azathioprine has variable efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease. Previous studies suggested that either neutropenia, an increase in the mean corpuscular volume, the assessment of thiopurine methyl-transferase activity or erythrocyte 6-thioguanine values might predict the treatment response. However, due to the conflicting results of the preceding studies there are yet no establish...
متن کاملCorrelation of Leukocyte Count and Percentage of Segmented Neutrophils with Pathohistological Findings of Appendix in Children
BackgroundAppendicitis is the most common indication for an emergency operation in children's age. Although none of the laboratory values has not high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of appendicitis, leukocyte count and the percentage of segmented neutrophils are most commonly used.

متن کاملElevated brain natriuretic peptide predicts mortality in interstitial lung disease.
Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance portends a poor prognosis across interstitial lung disease (ILD), irrespective of the histospecific diagnosis. Currently, no noninvasive surrogate prognostic marker exists. We explore the prognostic value of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and echocardiography across ILD. ILD patients with BNP concentrations performed during 2005-2007 were reviewed (n = 90...
