Background And Aims: Activation of the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) is associated with inferior outcomes across a spectrum of disease. Routinely available measures of the SIR (neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet:lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), systemic inflammatory grade (SIG)) have been shown to provide prognostic value in patients undergoing surgical intervention. The present study aimed to review the literature describing the prognostic association of NLR, PLR, SII and SIG in patients undergoing intervention for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

, including (ZIKV), are a significant global health concern, yet no licensed antivirals exist to treat disease. The small membrane (M) protein plays well-defined roles during viral egress and remains within virion membranes following release and maturation. However, it is unclear whether M plays a functional role in this setting.

Despite advances in clinical cancer care, cancer survivors frequently report a range of persisting issues, unmet needs, and concerns that limit their ability to participate in life roles and reduce quality of life. Needs assessment is recognized as an important component of cancer care delivery, ideally beginning during active treatment to connect patients with supportive services that address these issues in a timely manner. Despite the recognized importance of this process, many health care systems have struggled to implement a feasible and sustainable needs assessment and management system.

Introduction: There is growing evidence that the use of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in colorectal cancer resections is associated with improved short-term outcomes when compared to laparoscopic surgery (LS) or open surgery (OS), possibly through a reduced systemic inflammatory response (SIR). Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive SIR biomarker and its utility in the early identification of post-operative complications has been validated in a variety of surgical procedures. There remains a paucity of studies characterising post-operative SIR in RAS.
