Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Outcomes with Nivolumab in Pretreated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC…
2020
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have provided substantial benefit in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with unprecedented results in terms of survival. However, the identification of reliable predictive biomarkers to these agents is lacking and multiple clinicopathological factors have been evaluated. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in patients with pretreated NSCLC receiving nivolumab. Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study involving 14 Italian centers, evaluating the role of some laboratory results in patients with NSCLC treat…

Valoración del estado periodontal, perfil inflamatorio y disfunción endotelial en pacientes con Síndrome de Ovario Poliquístico
2022
Las enfermedades periodontales (PDs [del inglés, Periodontal Diseases]) son unas de las enfermedades más frecuentes. Estas patologías, son infecciosas - causadas por bacterias- y su naturaleza de inflamación crónica las ha relacionado con múltiples enfermedades sistémicas. Recientemente, se ha planteado la asociación de las PDs con el Síndrome de Ovario Poliquístico (PCOS [del inglés, Polycistic Ovary Syndrome]). Este síndrome, es un trastorno endocrino complejo cuyo criterio diagnóstico según el Consenso de Róterdam, contempla la presencia de oligo y/o anovulación, signos clínicos y/o bioquímicos de hiperandrogenismo y ovarios de apariencia ecográfica poliquística. La estimulación y secrec…
Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients with Diabetic Foot
2022
Background and Objectives: Diabetic foot (DF) development is driven by complex interactions of hyperglycemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress (OS). We aimed to investigate OS and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with DF and their potential to improve early diagnosis and management of DF. Materials and Methods: The prooxidant–antioxidant balance (PAB), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total oxidative status (TOS), total sulfhydryl groups (SHG), routine biochemical parameters, and complete blood count were determined in 42 patients with type-2 DM, of which 23 patients had DF, while 19 patients were without DF complications. The neutrophils-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was evaluated as a b…
Utility of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio to identify long-term survivors among HCC patients treated with sorafenib
2020
Sorafenib is the first multikinase inhibitor demonstrating a survival benefit for patients suffering from advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, 1 issue remains open: what is the factor able to predict which patients will be long survivors?In the present study, we harnessed the potential of conditional survival, aiming at estimating the probability that a patient receiving sorafenib survives for more than 3 years.The present multicentric study was conducted on a cohort of 438 HCC patients. The primary end point was conditional overall survival. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate conditional overall survival probabilities at 3 years.The 3-year conditional surviva…
