Comparison of the hematological parameters of chronic otitis patients with and without cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma leads to hearing loss and various complications by causing bone erosion in the middle ear and mastoid in chronic otitis media (COM) patients. The mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and hematological parameters are

Connectedness percolation of hard convex polygonal rods and platelets [PDF]
The properties of polymer composites with nanofiller particles change drastically above a critical filler density known as the percolation threshold. Real nanofillers, such as graphene flakes and cellulose nanocrystals, are not idealized disks and rods ...

Oral platelet gel supernatant plus supportive medical treatment versus supportive medical treatment in the management of radiation-induced oral mucositis: a matched explorative active control trial by propensity analysis [PDF]
OBJECTIVES:: In this active control trial, the rate of radio-induced WHO grade 3/4 oral mucositis and the change in quality of life, assessed by OMWQ-HN, were measured in subjects with head and neck cancer treated by platelet gel supernatant (PGS) and ...

Variation of Platelet Indices among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Attending Tertiary Care Hospital [PDF]
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a pandemic health problem. It is considered as a prothrombotic state with enhanced platelet activity. The platelet activation may alter platelet morphology and function which may result in the development of ...

A Wigner-Seitz model of charged lamellar colloidal dispersions
A concentrated suspension of lamellar colloidal particles (e. g. clay) is modelled by considering a single, uniformly charged, finite platelet confined with co- and counterions to a Wigner-Seitz (WS) cell.
