Exercise reduces systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in childhood cancer patients [PDF]
Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021 AbstractWhile exercise and physical activity have been suggested to reduce mortality and symptoms in cancer, knowledge on these associations in patients with childhood cancer (CCPs) is sparse. Anti-inflammatory properties of exercise might mediate these beneficial effects. We investigated the influence of exercise on the inflammation markers neutrophil-

Systemic immune-inflammation index for predicting prognosis of colorectal cancer
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017 To investigate the clinical significance of preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).A retrospective analysis of 1383 cases with CRC was performed following radical surgery. SII was calculated with the formula SII = (P × N)/L, where P, N, and L refer to peripheral platelet, neutrophil, and ...

Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index: A Novel Predictor for Non-dipper Hypertension
Cureus, 2022 Introduction The non-dipper hypertension (HT) pattern is associated with more end-organ damage and cardiovascular events than is dipper HT. Inflammation is widely established to play a role in the pathophysiology of HT. Recently, a new inflammatory and prognostic marker called the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has emerged.

Overweight and obese patients with nickel allergy have a worse metabolic profile compared to weight matched non-allergic individuals [PDF]
, 2018 A lack of balance between energy intake and expenditure due to overeating or reduced physical activity does not seem to explain entirely the obesity epidemic we are facing, and further factors are therefore being evaluated.
