A New Diagnostic Approach Using the NLR/LMR Ratio in the Differential Diagnosis of Neck Masses: Hematologic Evaluation of Patients With Cervical Lymphadenopathy

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study evaluates complete blood count–derived inflammatory ratios for differentiating lymphoma from benign cervical lymphadenopathies. The novel NLR/LMR ratio demonstrated superior diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.71, OR = 4.6) compared with conventional indices.

Diagnostic performance of adenosine deaminase activity in pleural fluid in tuberculous pleural effusion and relevant factors: a single-center experience with 1,491 consecutive patients

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Objective Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a widely-used diagnostic test for tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), but its accuracy, optimal diagnostic threshold and relevant factors are controversial or unclear. We aimed to reassess these diagnostic variables

Polymorphism in the EREG gene confers susceptibility to tuberculosis

BMC Medical Genetics, 2019
Background Host genetic factors affect the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection as well as the progression of the disease. Epiregulin (EREG) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, which binds to the epidermal growth

Sonographic Diagnosis of an Intercostal Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
A 63‐year‐old male presented to the emergency department after being found unconscious during a welfare check. Following a prolonged three‐month hospital admission, the patient developed left flank pain. Spectral Doppler ultrasound revealed a large isoechoic lesion with layering echoes, and spectral Doppler demonstrated bidirectional flow.

CURABILITY OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS. [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1897
ABSTRACT Evidence has been recently accumulating, which goes to show that tuberculosis is not only a universal but the universal disease. Postmortem examinations made in recent years, point to the probability that 25 per cent. is much too low an estimate of the total number of infections.Schlenker made one hundred consecutive postmortem examinations on

LncRNA NORAD Enhances Inflammatory Injury in Sepsis‐Associated Acute Lung Damage Through miR‐150‐5p/STAT1‐Dependent NF‐κB Activation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication of sepsis, yet the role of lncRNA NORAD in its pathogenesis remains unclear. Using LPS‐stimulated BEAS‐2B and HBEC3‐KT cells as well as cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)‐induced ALI models in C57BL/6 mice, we found that NORAD expression was markedly upregulated and promoted cell injury ...

Developing a framework for identifying risk factors and estimating direct economic disease burden attributable to healthcare-associated infections: a case study of a Chinese Tuberculosis hospital

Global Health Research and Policy
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a major global health burden, which necessitate effective frameworks to identify potential risk factors and estimate the corresponding direct economic disease burden.
