Background: Today, as a result of an increase in the frequency of food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), there is a need for studies not only to enlighten the pathophysiology of the disease but also to determine simple, non-invasive markers in both diagnosis, and evaluation of the development of tolerance. No study has been found in the literature about the place of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV), which are easy to calculate and non-invasive markers.
Objectives: The purpose is to determine the relation between NLR and MPV with the diagnosis and development of tolerance in children with FPIAP.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, clinical, demographic symptoms and laboratory findings of patients, monitored with FPIAP diagnosis in allergy and gastroenterology clinics, were acquired from the patient record system. Hemogram values at the time of diagnosis were compared with the values of healthy children of the same age and gender.
Results: Among 59 patients diagnosed with FPIAP, males constitute 47.4% and females constitute 52.6%. MPV and platelet crit (PCT) values were significantly high when compared to the control group (n: 67) in FPIAP cases (p < 0.001). Also, MPV and PCT values were significantly high in non-tolerance developing cases when compared to developing ones (p= 0.01).
Conclusions: Contrary to NLR, MPV and PCT values have been considered to be good markers in predicting prognosis in cases with FPIAP since they are quick, cost effective and easy to calculate.

The Need for Standardized Guidelines for the Use of Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW) in the Early Diagnosis of Sepsis.
J Pers Med

Department of Emergency Medicine, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli-IRCCS, 00168 Rome, Italy.
Sepsis is a complex and potentially life-threatening syndrome characterized by an abnormal immune response to an infection, which can lead to organ dysfunction, septic shock, and death. Early diagnosis is crucial to improving prognosis and reducing hospital management costs. This narrative review aims to summarize and evaluate the current literature on the role of monocyte distribution width (MDW) as a diagnostic biomarker for sepsis, highlighting its advantages, limitations, and potential clinical applications.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive value of cell population data (CPD) parameters in comparison with procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) for an early diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU). The effect of renal function on CPD, PCT and CRP, in septic and non-septic patients was also investigated.
Methods: This is a retrospective, observational and single-center study, performed with data collected from patients consecutively admitted to the ICU of the Edoardo Bassini Hospital in Milan.

Objective: To investigate how the blood flow analysis changes by varying the radiation dose of gastric perfusion CT (PCT) and to prove that a low-radiation dose of PCT is feasible.
Methods: 5 Beagle dogs were used in a crossover study with 6 groups of varying radiation doses. Iodixanol was IV administered at 3.

Extracorporeal perfusion systems utilized in open-heart surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass can affect multiple body systems. The primary adverse effects of Extracorporeal Perfusion Systems (EPS) on the hematological system include postoperative bleeding and coagulation issues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of on-pump time and cross-clamp duration on total platelet count (PLT) and platelet indices in open-heart surgeries performed using cardiopulmonary bypass.

: several adverse effects of ozone (O) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) are assessed using combined oxidant capacity (O) and redox-weighted oxidant capacity (Owtx) as surrogates. However, the associations of oxidant capacity (O and Owtx) with platelet-based inflammatory indicators and the potential modifying role of physical activity (PA) remain unclear. : 31 318 participants were selected from the baseline survey of the Henan Rural Cohort Study.
