Genitourinary Abnormalities in Children with Urinary Tract Infections
59 Abstract: Urinary–tract infections (UTI) are common infectious diseases in childhood. The presence of UTI may be an indicator of a serious genitourinary (GU) abnormality that requires medical intervention. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of children discharged with a diagnosis of UTI from the Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, Texas, between July 1, 1991 and June 30, 1994. The purpos...
متن کاملNeopterin levels in patients with cerebrovascular disease.
OBJECTIVE The recovery period in ischemic cerebrovascular disease is sometimes long and complicated. It is thought that a systemic inflammatory response plays an important role in this process. Therefore, promising studies have reported that neopterin and other cytokines serve as indicators of the inflammatory response. The present study investigated the effects of cerebrovascular diseases on p...
متن کاملImmunotherapy in genitourinary malignancies
Treatment of cancer patients involves a multidisciplinary approach including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Traditionally, patients with metastatic disease are treated with combination chemotherapies or targeted agents. These cytotoxic agents have good response rates and achieve palliation; however, complete responses are rarely seen. The field of cancer immunology has made rapid adva...
متن کاملLow Serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D levels: Predictive Value of Hematological and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Urinary Tract Infection
Background: Low vitamin D has been linked to enhance inflammatory markers in various pathological conditions. We aimed to evaluate the urinary tract infection (UTI)-associated hematological and inflammatory markers mediated by low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Methods: Vitamin D level, hematological indices (Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], Monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio [M...

Therefore, the evaluation of novel therapeutic options is of great interest. Conventional, along w...
