Article Synopsis
- - Three preterm infants treated with paracetamol for significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) experienced acute hemolysis during their hospital stay, with no other causes identified.
- - These infants were all born within the same year, highlighting a potential concern regarding the side effects of paracetamol in this specific patient group.
- - The authors emphasize the need for increased awareness of this rare side effect, as the relationship between paracetamol and hemolysis in preterm infants remains unclear.
Mean platelets volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as predictors of stroke.

Article Synopsis
- Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) are potential indicators of stroke risk, with higher NLR linked to increased stroke risk and severity.
- A retrospective study compared MPV and NLR levels in stroke patients and healthy individuals, finding significantly higher NLR in stroke patients but no strong link between MPV and stroke risk or prognosis.
- The study concludes that NLR is a reliable predictor for stroke and its outcomes, emphasizing the need for more research to explore the relationship between MPV and stroke risk.
