Changes in platelet parameters in leukocytosis
INTRODUCTION In recent years, platelets are known to have a large variety of functions in many pathophysiological processes and their interaction with endothelial cells and leukocytes is known to play an important role in the pathophysiology of vascular inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between white blood cell count in conditions resulting in leukocytosis ...
متن کاملPreoperative asymptomatic leukocytosis and postoperative outcome in cardiac surgery patients
BACKGROUND Despite showing a prognostic value in general surgical patients, preoperative asymptomatic elevated white blood cell (WBC) count is not considered a risk factor for cardiac surgery. Whereas there is sporadic evidence of its value as a preoperative risk marker, it has not been looked at methodically as a specific index of outcome during cardiac surgery. Using a national database we so...
متن کاملPerformance of electrophysiologic study in an asymptomatic patient with type 2 intermittent Brugada syndrome: To do or not to do?
Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy, which is associated with sudden cardiac death due to rapid polymorphic VT or VF. There is no definite consensus regarding the management of asymptomatic patients. Some experts advocate close follow-up; others propose the programmed stimulation for risk stratification. We aimed to evaluate the benefit of complete atrial and ventri...
متن کاملBartonella clarridgeiae bacteremia detected in an asymptomatic blood donor.
Human exposure to Bartonella clarridgeiae has been reported only on the basis of antibody detection. We report for the first time an asymptomatic human blood donor infected with B. clarridgeiae, as documented by enrichment blood culture, PCR, and DNA sequencing.
متن کاملSingle donor platelet transfusion.
Cytopheresis equipment from a number of manufacturers now permits the rapid, safe, and efficient procurement of functionally normal platelets from single donors. There has been an extensive proliferation of these blood cell separators and virtually all large blood collection centers and most large hospitals have at least one blood cell separator in operation. Transfusions from single donors sel...
