Preoperative low absolute lymphocyte count to fibrinogen ratio correlated with poor survival in nonmetastatic colorectal cancer

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2022
Background Preoperative absolute lymphocyte count (LC) and fibrinogen (FIB) are useful prognostic indicators in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the prognostic value of the LC to FIB ratio (LFR) has never been addressed.

Genome-Wide Joint Meta-Analysis of SNP and SNP-by-Smoking Interaction Identifies Novel Loci for Pulmonary Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous genetic loci for spirometic measures of pulmonary function, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and its ratio to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC).

Pulmonary function testing [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2012
To review the recent literature related to pulmonary function testing and how it relates to the preoperative evaluation.There is increased interest in the field of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is important to determine the clinical implications of this disease and determine whether preoperative therapy is indeed effective.

Pulmonary function in primary pulmonary hypertension

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2003
The study was done to ascertain the degree to which abnormalities in resting lung function correlate with the disease severity of patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).Patients with PPH are often difficult to diagnose until several years after the onset of symptoms.

Pulmonary function testing [PDF]

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, 1999
The principal aims of pulmonary function testing in equine athletes are the diagnosis of subclinical disease and monitoring responses to interventions, such as training and various therapies or interventions. Prediction of performance may also be a priority.

Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 second and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Pleural Effusion Mononuclear Cells/Leukocyte Ratio in Tuberculous Pleurisy

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: Tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) is a common clinical type of tuberculosis (TB) in China. TBP is difficult to diagnose. Whether the mononuclear cell/leukocyte (MNC/LEU) ratio in pleural effusion can contribute to accurate TBP diagnosis remains yet ...

Pilot study of losartan for pulmonary hypertension in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
BACKGROUND: Morbidity in COPD results from a combination of factors including hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension, in part due to pulmonary vascular remodelling. Animal studies suggest a role of angiotensin II and acute studies in man concur.
