Association of inflammatory and coagulation biomarkers with mortality in patients aged 60 years or older and hospitalized with COVID-19

Objectives: To analyze the association of inflammatory and coagulation biomarkers with mortality in geriatric patients with COVID-19. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 206 patients aged 60 years or older who were hospitalized with COVID-19 at an intensive care unit. The analyzed variables ...

Efecto de las diferentes drogas anticoagulantes sobre el ensayo de fibrinógeno derivado del tiempo de protrombina

Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar los niveles de fibrinógeno (FBG) obtenidos por el método de Clauss con los obtenidos por el método de fibrinógeno derivado del tiempo de protrombina (FBG PT-d), con dos tromboplastinas, en pacientes anticoagulados con distintas drogas. Se estudiaron pa...

Predictor parameters for poor prognosis in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss: fibrinogen to albumin ratio vs C-reactive protein to albumin ratio

Abstract Introduction Prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss may be predicted using several parameters of laboratory blood analysis. Objective To identify and investigate the most significant indicator parameters related to the poor prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Methods Eight...

Blood parameters of crioulo breed horse

Rev. bras. ciênc. vet; 28 (1), 2021
Plasma levels of hematocrit, total plasma protein, fibrinogen, creatine phosphokinase, aspartate transferase, and lactate were analyzed in blood samples of 85 Crioula breed foals, from birth to two years of age. The animals were divided into age groups: G1 (up to 15 days of age; n=70), G2 (from 16 days t...

Pretreatment plasma fibrinogen level as a prognostic biomarker for patients with lung cancer

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
Many researchers have shown that pretreatment plasma fibrinogen levels are closely correlated with the prognosis of patients with lung cancer (LC). In this study, we thus performed a meta-analysis to systematically assess the prognostic value of pretreatment plasma fibrinogen levels in LC patients. A com...

Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor as a measure of treatment response in acute exacerbation of COPD

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the value of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the diagnosis of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and in monitoring treatment response, analyzing the relationship between suPAR and fibrinogen in AECOPD. AECOPD leads to increased airway inf...

Serum concentrations of acute phase proteins in goats and ewes with naturally acquired Staphylococcus aureus mastitis

Serum protein concentrations, including acute phase proteins (APPs), of goats and ewes with naturally acquired Sthaphylococcus aureus mastitis were determined by means of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis to evaluate the relevance of these APPs as biomarkers of the disease in these species. Fifteen healthy goats ...
