Aim: This study investigates the prognostic value of the Hemoglobin/Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Ratio (HRR) and the Red Blood Cell Distribution Width/Albumin Ratio (RAR) in patients with myocarditis. We aimed to evaluate how these novel biomarkers correlate with clinical parameters, disease severity, and outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 301 patients diagnosed with myocarditis between January 2020 and March 2024.

Because earlier studies have proven a link between hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) scores and inflammation, we examined if these 2 markers had predictive value in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In the intensive care unit, 444 patients with and without AF were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with and without AF were compared with regard to their HALP and PIV scores.

One hundred twenty-seven patients with AIS were prospectively analyzed. The NIH Stroke Scale was used to determine stroke severity.

Objective: In recent years, many studies have shown that hemoglobin to red cell distribution width ratio (HRR), which is the ratio of hemoglobin (Hb) to red cell distribution width (RDW), is associated with inflammation. Inflammation is linked to both the development of stroke and the severe effects that follow. Therefore, the relationship between the HRR and mortality in patients with stroke was investigated in our study.

Varicocele is associated with testicular atrophy, hypogonadism, impaired semen analysis values, or decreased testosterone production. Varicocele is a progressive disease and should be treated because it may be a systemic disease that can be associated with cardiovascular abnormalities.
