Association Between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) With Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of blindness worldwide, but an effective screening is challenging due to limited available retina specialists. Finding novel biomarkers could help clinical decision in prioritizing ophthalmological consultation in patients at risk of developing severe DR. This study aims to investigate the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and the presence and severity of DR in patients with T2DM.

A thin superficial temporalis artery revealed by total necrosis of an island scalp flap, a case report.

Introduction And Importance: The superficial temporalis artery (STA) counts as one of the most reliable blood supplies capable of supporting the vascularization of the entire scalp. Therefore, total necrosis of a scalp flap based on the superficial temporalis artery is a rare complication.

Case Presentation: A 43-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and cerebral stroke presented to our consultation for fronto-parietal scalp alopecia.
