Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in predicting postoperative complications and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer.

<br><b>Introduction:</b> Biological markers of inflammation are among the main tools for predicting the risk of developing postoperative infectious complications at the preclinical stage. One of these biomarkers is the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), but the insufficient number of studies does not allow judging its value as a marker of infectious complications in colorectal surgery.</br><br><b>Aim:</b> Aim of the study to determine the predictive value of the neutrophil-leukocyte ratio as a predictor of infectious complications after colon surgery.

Prognostic value of using neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in patients with burn injury for the diagnosis of sepsis and bacteraemia.

Objective: At present time, despite the progress made in the treatment of burn injuries, mortality rate among seriously ill patients remains high. The main causes of fatal cases with the extensive deep burns are generalized infectious complications, the major of which is sepsis. According to the authors, from 25 to 85% of deceased in later periods of burn injuries die from sepsis.

Evaluating the Effectivenes of Antiseptic Solution Decasan in Treatment of Necrotic Soft Tisue Diseases.

Unlabelled: Sepsis is a severe generalised infection caused usually by pathogenic bacteria. It is often the cause of hospitalization and death in patients treated in intensive care and other hospital wards. Latest research brought to better understanding of patomechanisms, took place significant development of therapy heading to improvement of general patients condition treated as a basis and additionally supported by local therapy.

[Terminology concerning intravenous ports].

Ports are more and more often applied with patients requiring the permanent intravenous access, not only in the cancer treatment. Very devices, as well as procedures associated with applying them are determined in the heterogeneous way. Therefore during the last conference "Intravenous Port--implantation, care, complications" an attempt to systematize the applied terminology was made.
