Mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with tinnitus: a case-control study

Abstract Introduction: Different theories have been proposed on the etiology of tinnitus, including metabolic and audiologic causes. We suggest that mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio levels change in tinnitus, indicating microcirculatory disturbance and inflammatory process in the ...

El volumen medioplaquetario: su importancia en la práctica clínica
Mean platelet volume: its importance in clinical practice

Las plaquetas son fragmentos citoplasmáticos anucleados derivados de los megacariocitos que presentan función central, tanto en procesos fisiológicos como la hemostasia, así como también en procesos patológicos como la inflamación, la ateroesclerosis. El tamaño de las plaquetas, medido como volum...

The effect and correlation of smoking with platelet indices, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and platelet lymphocyte ratio

ABSTRACT Introduction: Smoking is associated with the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory disorders and malignancies. Objective: To study the platelet indices, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in smokers and their correlation with smo...

Role of mean platelet volume in differential diagnosis of adult-onset Still's disease and sepsis

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: Mean platelet volume is a simple biomarker for inflammatory disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of mean platelet volume in distinguishing adult-onset Still's disease from sepsis. METHODS: We retrospectively selected 68 patients with adult-onset Still's disease...

Reabilitação Cardíaca Baseada em Exercícios Fortemente Relacionada com Redução do Volume Plaquetário Médio

Arq. bras. cardiol; 116 (3), 2021
Resumo Fundamento O volume plaquetário médio (VPM), uma medida simples de ativação plaquetária, tornou-se recentemente um tópico interessante no campo da pesquisa cardiovascular. A reabilitação cardíaca (RC) baseada em exercícios é uma intervenção abrangente que diminui a morbidade-mortalid...

Interação Letal entre Síndrome Hemofagocítica e Insuficiência Cardíaca Recentemente Desenvolvida

Resumo Fundamento: A síndrome hemofagocítica (SHF) é uma síndrome hiperinflamatória debilitante. O status da insuficiência cardíaca (IC) com fração de ejeção preservada (ICFEP) está intimamente relacionado ao aumento da inflamação sistêmica e intramiocárdica. Objetivos: este estudo pret...

The role of platelet to mean platelet volume ratio in the identification of adult-onset still's disease from sepsis

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: Inflammatory factors exert a significant role in the development of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) and sepsis. Although platelet counts and platelet parameters have long served as indicators for inflammatory diseases, their role in the differential diagnosis between adult-onset stilĺ...
