The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic effect of the absolute neutrophil count/absolute lymphocyte count ratio (ANC/ALC ratio) in patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). We performed a retrospective analysis of 312 patients with cHL. Univariate analysis revealed that a high ANC/ALC ratio (≥4.3) correlated with poor overall survival (OS) (P < .001). Subgroup analysis of adva...

Abstract This paper provides a characterization of new class ordinal poverty measures that are defined by means the aggregate generalized gap. To be precise, we propose to use sum differences between transformed fixed line and level income each person below as our measure. If transformation is strictly concave, resulting measure inequality averse with respect incomes poor. In analogy some exist...

The present study aims to understand the influence of a reduced amount straw litter on goats’ lying comfort and hygienic characteristics milk straw. Lying behaviour (frequency, posture, location social context) 24 Alpine goats subjected two different treatments (Regular: 2 kg/straw/head + 1 kg straw/head/day, n = 12; Scarce: straw/head 0.5 12) was observed from video recordings using scan sampl...

Purpose. To demonstrate the relation between optic neuritis (ON) and systemic inflammation markers as neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (N/L ratio), platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), and red cell distribution width (RDW) and furthermore to evaluate the utilization of these markers to predict the frequency of the ON episodes. Methods. Forty-two patients with acute ON and forty healthy subjec...

BACKGROUND Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) in peripheral blood has recently been reported to be an independent prognostic factor in multiple myeloma (MM). Previous studies indicated that the absolute monocyte count (AMC) in peripheral blood reflects the state of the tumor microenvironment in lymphomas. Neither the utility of the AMC nor its relationship with ALC has been studied in MM. METHOD...
