Background/aims: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by persistent organ failure. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion on SAP.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-seven patients who were treated with hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis were included in group O, and 31 patients treated with conventional therapy and hemoperfusion were included as control (group C). Leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, amylase (AMY), blood urine nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and total bilirubin (TBIL) were noted. The time when symptoms disappeared as well as complications after treatment was recorded.
Results: Leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, AMY, BUN, Cr, and TBIL in two groups were remarkably decreased after treatment. However, these indexes were significantly lower in group O than those in group C after treatment, especially the neutrophil percentage, AMY, BUN, Cr, and TBIL. The time when the symptoms disappeared was 3.01±1.02 days in group O, which was shorter than 5.56±1.88 days in group C. There were 4 patients with acute renal failure and 2 patients had multiple organ failure in group C after treatment. But only 1 patient developed acute renal failure in group O. The difference in complications between two groups was significant (p<0.024).
Conclusion: The combination of hemodialysis and hemoperfusion could have a better effect on SAP in removing toxic metabolites and inflammation mediators. It not only shortens the time of symptoms disappearing but also decreases the incidence of complications and the mortality.

Impact of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio on mortality in iron-deficiency anemia patients: a retrospective study using MIMIC-IV database.

Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), the incidence of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is relatively high and is associated with various adverse clinical outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to identify simple and practical indicators to assess the mortality risk in ICU patients with IDA. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio (NPAR) levels in patients with IDA in the ICU and their all-cause mortality at 30 and 365 days.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) models are emerging as promising tools to identify predictive features among data coming from health records. Their application in clinical routine is still challenging, due to technical limits and to explainability issues in this specific setting. Response to standard first-line immunotherapy (ICI) in metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is an interesting population for machine learning (ML), since up to 30% of patients do not benefit.

Background: An elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, an elevated NLR has also been implicated in many other conditions that are risk factors for AD, prompting investigation into whether the NLR is directly linked with AD pathology or a result of underlying comorbidities.
Method: We explored the relationship between the NLR and AD biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of cognitively unimpaired (CU) subjects.

Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: T helper 2 (T2) cells and T helper 17 (T17) cells are CD4+ T cell subtypes involved in asthma. Characterizing asthma endotypes based on these cell types in diverse groups is important for developing effective therapies for youths with asthma.
Objective: To identify asthma endotypes in school-aged youths aged 6 to 20 years by examining the distribution and characteristics of transcriptomic profiles in nasal epithelium.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) changes during treatment with bortezomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (VRD) in multiple myeloma patients and its relationship with patient prognosis.
- Researchers analyzed data from 80 multiple myeloma patients who underwent VRD treatment over two years, measuring NPAR at various stages of the chemotherapy cycles and following patient outcomes for one year.
- Results indicated that patients with poorer short-term prognosis had higher NPAR levels and lower albumin levels compared to those with better prognosis, suggesting NPAR could be a potential indicator of treatment outcomes in multiple myeloma.
