We investigated the effect of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) on lymphocytes and white blood cells of patients with malignant tumors. After PEG-rhG-CSF treatment, the count of lymphocytes increased in 66 cases, remained unchanged in 2 cases, and decreased in 20 cases. The difference in lymphocyte count before and after treatment was statistically significant ( < 0.001). White blood cell changes were positively correlated with lymphocyte changes ( = 0.36, = 0.001). In the subgroup with increased white blood cells ( = 80), there were 62 cases with increased lymphocytes, 1 case with unchanged lymphocytes, and 17 cases with decreased lymphocytes after PEG-rhG-CSF treatment. There was significant difference in the count of lymphocytes and white blood cells ( < 0.001). In the subgroup with 6 mg of PEG-rhG-CSF ( = 66) and the subgroup with 3 mg of PEG-rhG-CSF ( = 22), the changes of white blood cell and lymphocyte counts before and after treatment were statistically significant ( < 0.001). The two were positively correlated in the 6 mg PEG-rhG-CSF subgroup, with correlation coefficient = 0.34 ( = 0.002). PEG-rhG-CSF can increase the count of lymphocytes and white blood cells in patients with malignant tumors, and the increase of lymphocytes is positively correlated with the increase of white blood cells.

Background: The UK National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA) data reports disparities in Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels among children and young people (CYP) with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), with higher levels in those of Black ethnic background and lower socioeconomic status who have less access to technology. We investigate HbA1c differences in a T1D cohort with higher than national average technology uptake where > 60% come from an ethnic minority and/or socioeconomically deprived population.
Design & Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study investigating the influence of demographic factors, technology use, and socioeconomic status (SES) on glycaemic outcomes.
Label-free imaging flow cytometry for cell classification based directly on multiple off-axis holographic projections.

Significance: Imaging flow cytometry allows highly informative multi-point cell analysis for biological assays and medical diagnosis. Rapid processing of the imaged cells during flow allows real-time classification and sorting of the cells. Off-axis holography enables imaging flow cytometry without chemical cell staining but requires digital processing to the optical path delay profile for each frame before the cells can be classified, which slows down the overall processing throughput.

General Surgery, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Peshawar, PAK.
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the rate of conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to open cholecystectomy (OC) in our population and determine the potential risk factors associated with it. Understanding these factors helps surgeons predict complex cases and plan surgeries, reducing patient risks and improving outcomes.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, on 349 patients undergoing elective LC.

Wurmb is known to contain large amounts of polyphenols and flavonoids with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the biological and physiological functions of have not been scientifically investigated. Thus, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of hot water extract (YSK-N) in mice using an immune compromised model established by forced swimming (FS).

Background: Baseline systemic inflammation is associated with worse long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], but the mechanisms of this association are unclear. This study aims to explore the association between pre-operative white blood cell [WBC] count and CABG graft failure.
Methods: We pooled individual patient data from two randomized clinical trials with systematic CABG graft imaging.
