Article Synopsis
- Researchers want to find a better blood test to help catch a type of throat cancer called oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma earlier, since current tests are not good enough.
- They created a new tool called SENSORS that can detect important proteins in the blood that can indicate cancer, and they tested it against other methods to see if it's better.
- In their study, they looked at blood samples from people with cancer and healthy individuals to see how well SENSORS could tell the difference and predict who might have the cancer.
Dactylogyrus ctenopharyngodonid and Ichthyophthirius multifiliis are 2 important ectoparasites of fish. Both parasites can induce an immune response in fish that leads to a decrease in parasitic infection intensity and the development of resistance against parasitic reinfection. The present study evaluated whether grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella that survived a D.

This work aimed to explore the prognostic value of pretreatment C-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in patients with cervical cancer, and compared to other inflammatory prognostic factors, such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR), Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), prognostic index (PI), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), clinicopathological parameter and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag). This study was a retrospective analysis of the data related to 229 patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer.

- Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is a harmful parasite that can cause significant economic damage in fish farming.
- Researchers studied curcumin, a compound from the Curcuma longa plant, and found it effectively kills the parasite's stages (theronts and tomonts) at low concentrations and within short time frames.
- Curcumin also showed potential in treating infected fish and offering protection to healthy fish against future infections, indicating it could be a safe and effective treatment for managing this parasite in aquaculture.
Recent studies have indicated that inflammation-based prognostic scores, such as the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), modified GPS (mGPS) and C-reactive protein/Albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), have been reported to have prognostic value in patients with many types of cancer, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this study, we proposed a novel inflammation-based stage, named I stage, for patients with NPC. A retrospective study of 409 newly-diagnosed cases of NPC was conducted.

These analyses were performed retrospectively in patients with NSCLC followed by surgery; participants were recruited between January 2004 and January 2008. All clinical information and laboratory results were collected from medical records.

Whether the ALT/AST ratio (LSR) was associated with prognosis for gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) has not been reported in the literature. Our aim was to investigate the prognostic value of the preoperative LSR in patients with GA.

Methods: Blood samples were collected from 130 patients with tumors (60 septicemia patients and 70 non-septicemia patients) and 80 healthy controls. HFLC% was analyzed with Sysmex XE-5000, the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) measured with a commercially available turbidimetric immunoassay kit and the level of procalcitonin (PCT) determined with a semiquantitative chromatographic immunoassay kit.
