Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre marcadores de gravidade e complexidade, assim como de desfechos em 30 dias, com a razão de monócitos por HDL em pacientes com primeiro infarto agudo do miocárdio. Métodos: Foram selecionados 580 pacientes com primeiro infarto agudo do miocárdio submetidos a ...

Evaluation of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, platelet to lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio in patients with cellulitis

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Cellulite infection is a non-necrotizing inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and is one of the most common reasons for admission to hospital. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Ly...

The role of monocyte to HDL ratio in predicting clinically significant carotid stenosis in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery disease

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Monocyte count to HDL-C Ratio (MHR) and Fibrinogen to Albumin Ratio (FAR) have recently emerged as markers of inflammation in atherosclerotic diseases. Our goal was to investigate the relationships of MHR and FAR with the severity of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in patients with asym...

An. bras. dermatol; 95 (1), 2020
Abstract Background: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities. Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study is to assess the C-reactive protein, monocyte-to-high-density-lipoprotein ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte rat...

J. bras. pneumol; 46 (5), 2020
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the relationships that smoking history has with inflammatory markers, metabolic markers, body composition, muscle strength, and cardiopulmonary capacity in current smokers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 65 smokers (age range: 18-60 years). On three...

Leishmania infantum induces high phagocytic capacity and intracellular nitric oxide production by human proinflammatory monocyte

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
BACKGROUND The mechanism of resistance to SbIII in Leishmania is complex, multifactorial and involves not only biochemical mechanisms, but also other elements, such as the immune system of the host. OBJECTIVES In this study, putative changes in the immunological profile of human monocytes infected wit...

ABSTRACT Objective To validate multilineage score system correlating results of flow cytometry, cytogenetics, cytomorphology and histology from samples of patients with suspected myelodysplastic syndrome or cytopenia of unknown origin. Methods A retrospective study analyzing laboratory data of 49 pat...

Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated intracellular cytokines and depressive symptoms in community-dwelling older adults

Abstract Background Inflammation is involved in the pathophysiology of depression, and circulating inflammatory cytokines have been associated with depressive symptoms. However, measuring circulating cytokines have inherent methodological limitations. In vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated intrac...
