The purpose of this study was to determine whether delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and T2 mapping are accurate techniques for measuring cartilage thickness in the metacarpus3/metatarsus3 (Mc3/Mt3) of Thoroughbred racehorses. Twenty-four Mc3/Mt3 cadaver specimens were acquired from six healthy racehorses. Cartilage thickness was measured from postint...

Background: Several studies reported the role platelet activation, volume (MPV) and other Indices in breast cancer but data is inconsistent and/or diverse. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate activation indices women with BC as predictors for progression poor prognosis. Methods: Patients were recruited from our local oncology center between 2019 2020 following ethics approval. ...

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in hematological parameters as predictors of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between HbA1c and hematological indices, and to evaluate the relationship between these parameters and microvascular complications of diabetes. Three hundred and seven diabetic patients (124 male, 183 female;...

AIM To evaluate platelet function in patients with a history of surgical treatment for hepatic hydatid disease (HD). METHODS This retrospective case-controlled study was performed in a state hospital in Turkey from January 2009 to November 2013. The patients were divided into two groups: those evaluated in the preoperative period (Group 1) and those evaluated in the postoperative period (Grou...

The pseudogap regime of the underdoped cuprates arguably remains one most enigmatic phenomena correlated quantum matter. Recent theoretical ideas suggest that a pair density wave (PDW) or ``fractionalized PDW'' could be key ingredient for understanding physics. These are to contrasted scenario where charge order and superconductivity coexist at low temperatures. In this paper, we present few te...

This study examined tongue internal kinematics during feeding over time after its volume reduction. Six ultrasonic crystals were implanted into the tongue to record distance changes in anterior width (AW), bilateral lengths (LENG), posterior thicknesses (THICK), and posterior dorsal (PDW) and ventral (PVW) widths in five sibling pairs of Yucatan minipigs (N = 10). In each pair, one received ton...

Background: Wide spectrum of clinical manifestation and severity COVID-19 led to further studies find a simple biomarker used predict the COVID-19. We investigated role mean platelet volume (MPV) distribution width (PDW), widely available parameters, as predictor severity.Methods: conducted single center analytic observational study evaluate relationship between MPV PDW values severities. A tot...

BACKGROUND Atherogenic dyslipidemia is particularly common in people with type 2 diabetes (DM2). Platelets from patients with DM2 have increased reactivity and baseline activation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between atherogenic index and hematologic inflammatory markers and to evaluate the relationship between these parameters and associated variables in diabet...

Objective: To investigate leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-Lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW) and CRP in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA). Materials and methods: A retrospective case-controlled study was designed in two groups. Ninety-seven patients co...
