Hematologic markers of distant metastases and poor prognosis in gynecological cancers.

Background: Despite the recent progress in the development of anti-cancer drugs, the treatment of metastatic tumors is usually ineffective. The systemic inflammatory response performs key roles in different stages of the carcinogenesis process including metastasis. The high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were found to be associated with poor survival rates in the majority of solid tumors.

Right coronary artery ligation in mice: a novel method to investigate right ventricular dysfunction and biventricular interaction.

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction can lead to complications after acute inferior myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is unclear how RV failure after MI contributes to left-sided dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the consequences of right coronary artery (RCA) ligation in mice.
