The clinical value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) for predicting the occurrence and severity of pneumonia in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Background Inflammatory mechanisms play important roles in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and have been linked to the development of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP).

Determining target populations for leprosy prophylactic interventions: a hotspot analysis in Indonesia

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Leprosy incidence remained at around 200,000 new cases globally for the last decade. Current strategies to reduce the number of new patients include early detection and providing post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to at-risk populations.

The geographical distribution and socioeconomic risk factors of COVID-19, tuberculosis and leprosy in Fortaleza, Brazil

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background Fortaleza (Brazil) is high endemic for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy. These three diseases share respiratory droplets through coughing or sneezing as the main mode of transmission but differ in incubation ...

REAL-TIME UAV BASED GEOSPATIAL VIDEO INTEGRATED INTO THE FIRE BRIGADES CRISIS MANAGEMENT GIS SYSTEM [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012
During a fire incident live airborne video offers the fire brigade an additional means of information. Essential for the effective usage of the daylight and infra red video data from the UAS is that the information is fully integrated into the crisis ...

NLR receptors in plant immunity: making sense of the alphabet soup

EMBO Reports, 2023
Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are largely mediated by immune receptors of the nucleotide binding and leucine rich ...

Effector‐dependent activation and oligomerization of plant NRC class helper NLRs by sensor NLR immune receptors Rpi‐amr3 and Rpi‐amr1

EMBO Journal, 2023
Plant pathogens compromise crop yields. Plants have evolved robust innate immunity that depends in part on intracellular Nucleotide‐binding, Leucine rich‐Repeat (NLR) immune receptors that activate defense responses upon detection of pathogen‐derived ...

The diagnostic and predictive role of NLR, d-NLR and PLR in COVID-19 patients

International Immunopharmacology, 2020
Highlights • The COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan City and rapidly spread throughout China.• NLR exhibited the largest area under the curve, with the highest specificity and sensitivity.• Elevated NLR can be considered independent biomarkers for indicating poor

The Predictive Role of NLR, d-NLR, MLR, and SIRI in COVID-19 Mortality

Diagnostics, 2022
(1) Background: Since its discovery, COVID-19 has caused more than 256 million cases, with a cumulative death toll of more than 5.1 million, worldwide. Early identification of patients at high risk of mortality is of great importance in saving the lives ...

Oligomerization of a plant helper NLR requires cell-surface and intracellular immune receptor activation

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Significance Plant immunity involves defense activation upon pathogen perception by both cell-surface and intracellular NLR immune receptors. Most plant NLRs detect and respond to pathogen effectors, whereas “helper” NLRs transduce signals initiated by ...

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in NSCLC, Gastrointestinal, and Other Solid Tumors: Immunotherapy and Beyond

Biomolecules, 2023
In the era of immunotherapy, identifying biomarkers of immune system activation has become a high-priority challenge. The blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been largely investigated as a biomarker in several cancer types.
