Background: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the immediate and early complete blood count-based scores and prognosis in trauma patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study included adult patients admitted for severe trauma between January 2014 and December 2018. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and in-hospital mortality.

Background: Timely detection of the progression of the highly contagious coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is of utmost importance for management and intervention for patients in intensive care (ICU).

Aim: This study aims to better understand this new infection and report the changes in the various laboratory tests identified in critically ill patients and associated with poor prognosis among COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU.

Methods: This was a retrospective study that included 160 confirmed SARS-CoV-2-positive patients. Read More

Background: First-pass effect (FPE) defined as a complete or near-complete reperfusion achieved after a single thrombectomy pass is predictive of favorable outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. We aimed to assess whether admission levels of inflammatory markers are associated with FPE.

Methods: HIBISCUS-STROKE (CoHort of Patients to Identify Biological and Imaging markerS of CardiovascUlar Outcomes in Stroke) includes AIS patients with large vessel occlusion treated with mechanical thrombectomy following brain MRI. Read More

Background: This study intends to investigate the immunological effects of tumor ablation with irreversible electroporation (IRE).

Methods: We evaluated the systemic immune response in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after IRE treatment. Furthermore, we analyzed the tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes and the level of serum cytokines in IRE and control groups of tumor-bearing mice. Read More

This research aimed to obtain a hematological and biochemical profile of buffalos (Bubalus bubalis) bred in a region of the Brazilian Legal Amazon. A total of 73 animals of mixed races, divided into three groups, were studied: group 1 (G1) comprised animals up to 11 months old; in group 2 (G2), subjects were 12 to 23 months old; and, in group 3 (G3), they were 24 months old and older. We performed the hematological analysis manually, and, for the biochemistry, we used biochemical analyzers. Read More
