Conclusions: Serum procalcitonin levels show a rapid increase in children with sepsis, even in infants <12 month old, and they have a better prognostic value than C-reactive protein or neutrophil ...
Objectives The significance of neutrophilic inflammation in obstructive airway disease remains controversial. Recent studies have demonstrated presence of an active neutrophil population in systemic ...
Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leukocytes in human, and heterogeneous neutrophils have been increasingly recognized as important players in tumor progression. They play double ...
neutrophil count and C-reactive protein (58.7%; 95% CI, 57.7-59.6 vs. 35.3%; 95% CI, 34.4-36.2). The specificity of procalcitonin plus absolute neutrophil count was more than 20 percentage points ...
Oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s antioxidant defenses. During the inflammatory response to injury or infection, immune cells like ...
A pioneering study has uncovered the complex and dual roles of neutrophils in cancer development, demonstrating their remarkable ability to both stimulate and suppress tumor growth. This research ...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in >10% of all people admitted to critical care and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite more than half a century since its ...
