background: due to the positive relation between platelet size and platelet reactivity, a high value of the mean platelet volume (mpv) is an independent risk factor to predict acute myocardial infarction (ami) and its adverse outcome. few data are available to determinate the prognostic value of mpv in st-elevation myocardial infarction (stemi) patients treated with percutaneous coronary interv...

Objective—The interindividual variation in platelet 2 1 exceeds a 2-fold variance in platelet IIb 3 level. Our objective was to parse the contribution of mean platelet volume (MPV) and integrin gene alleles to this variation in large cohorts of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and normal subjects. Methods and Results—Platelet IIb 3 and 2 1 levels were measured by flow cytometry in wh...

BACKGROUND/AIM Vascular risk factors play an important role in the progression of Alzheimer disease (AD). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a determinant of platelet functionality and increased MPV is associated with an increased risk of vascular inflammation. Here we aimed to examine whether MPV could be used as a marker of vascular damage in AD and to discuss the relation between MPV and other va...

BACKGROUND Altered mean platelet volume (MPV) is implicated in a wide range of cancers. However, the prognostic role of MPV in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the predictive significance of MPV in MIBC. METHOD The retrospective study included 218 consecutive MIBC patients between January 2009 and December 2009. The rela...

We read the article published by Androsz-Kowalska et al. [1] with great interest. They investigated the mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with chronic periodontitis with coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic periodontitis without CAD, and control subjects. They found that MPV was significantly higher in patients with chronic periodontitis with CAD than in controls. However, there was no s...

Introduction: some studies have suggested correlation between MPV index and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Though bronchopulmonary dysplasia is also an inflammatory disease which develops in preterm neonates with Respiratory distress syndrome, we decided to study the possible correlation between the mean platelet volume (MPV) and the occurrence of bronchopulmonary...

An increased mean platelet volume (MPV) is recognized as an early marker of platelet activation. The diagnostic and prognostic impact of the MPV and MPV/platelet count (PC) ratio in some cancers has recently been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative MPV/PC ratio in pancreatic cancer. A total of 124 pancreatic cancer patients were included i...

[1] entitled with “Clinical marker of platelet hyperreactivity in diabetes mellitus.” In this review, the authors described the mean platelet volume (MPV) as a clinical mark...

Three monkeypox virus (MPV) antibody-secreting murine monoclones were characterized as being of the immunoglobulin G1 isotype, gave a 4+ reaction in the indirect fluorescent-antibody test, gave a positive reaction in the enzyme immunoassay, and did not neutralize MPV. These monoclonal antibodies were determined by the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis transblot method to...

OBJECTIVE Platelets play an important role in both initiation and propagation of acute coronary syndromes. We sought to evaluate the predictive value of mean platelet volume (MPV) in young patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). METHODS This is a retrospective observational study; evaluating the MPV values of 79 NSTE-ACS patients aged under 45 years and 45 ...
