PURPOSE We aimed to study the inflammatory parameters of complete blood count in breast cancer cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study covered 178 breast cancer patients and 107 age and body mass index matched healthy women. Complete blood count parameters, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and MPV/platelet were analyzed. RESULTS The leukocyte...

The purpose of this study was to examine total white blood cell count (TWBCC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio’s (NLR) association with the risk of incident breast cancer (BCa). A prospective analysis was conducted among a cohort of 2,873 women from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) Epidemio...

background: detection of women at risk for dystocia will allow physicians to make preparations and treatment decisions that can minimize maternal and neonatal morbidity. we aimed to determine the risk factors for dystocia in nulliparous women. methods: this case series enrolled 447 nulliparous women who presented with a single pregnancy in the vertex presentation and gestational age of 38-42 we...

Doxorubicin is a potent antitumor agent used against many cancers. It has genotoxic effect on human non-tumor (normal) cells. Hence, it is very important to reduce its toxicity to the normal cells. This goal can be achieved by concurrent administration of free radical scavenging agents, like antioxidants. In the present study, adult male albino rats of Wistar strain are administered with Doxoru...

the mediterranean flour moth, ephestia kuehniella zeller, is one of the major pests in stored products worldwide. several problems assossiated with the use of conventional insecticides have strongly demonstrated the need for applying alternative safe compounds such as insect growth regulators (igrs). in the present study, growth regulating activity and hematological effects of pyriproxifen and ...

Background: Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in neonatal. Diagnosing neonatal sepsis challenge, as its clinical symptoms are not specific. Various studies have been conducted to identify infection markers for early identification sepsis, but none shown satisfactory results. Therefore, we aimed determine the validity eosinophil count and monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR) detection sepsis. Obje...

BACKGROUND The use of lymphatic vessel density as a predictor of occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has never been reported. METHODS Staining of the specific lymphatic endothelial cells nuclear marker, PROX1, as an indicator of lymphatic vessel density was determined by counting the number of positive cells in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) o...

BACKGROUND Results of numerous studies show that major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with a chronic low-grade inflammation, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. AIM To compare the results of blood cell analysis of MDD patients with healthy controls, and explore the potential value of it as an indicator of immune-inflammation in MDD, especially the mean platelet volume. ME...
