Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a widely seen postoperative complication that causes a decrease in life quality and an economic burden. In this study, we aim to find the predictive values of preoperative and postoperative neutrophile lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values for SSI.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 698 patients who had total abdominal hysterectomy operations with benign indications and confirmed histopathological results were accessed. In this study, the correlation of preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR, postoperative NLR, and postoperative PLR, with the occurrence of postoperative surgical site infection complications were examined.
Results: The overall SSI rate was 9.46% (n = 66) with 30 days follow-up postoperatively. Preoperative NLR and PLR values of the patients who had SSIs were significantly lower than the control group (p 0.05). Postoperative NLR and PLR values of the patients who had SSIs were significantly higher than control group (p 0.05). In the patients who had postoperative SSIs, the increase of the values of postoperative NLR and PLR were significantly higher than the control group (p 0.05).
Conclusions: In our study, hematological markers of NLR and PLR were found to be independent and significant predictive markers for SSI.

Background: Repeated polyserositis, another name for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), is an autoimmune disorder with an autosomal recessive nature primarily characterized by short-lived repeated periods of peritonitis, pleuritis, and arthritis, generally accompanied by fever.
Methods: Our participants were divided into two groups. Group I (patients): 100 individuals who were diagnosed as patients with FMF and were monitored.
IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors have shown successful results in improving skin lesions in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. However, psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by systemic inflammation including joints in addition to skin lesions. Therefore, in this retrospective and observational cohort study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab and ixekizumab) and IL-23 inhibitors (risankizumab and guselkumab) on systemic inflammation in psoriasis.

Background: Dupilumab is a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD), but real-world data in pediatric patients in China are limited. Currently, there is no exploration of changes in blood cell counts derived indexes in pediatric patients, especially under 6 years old.
Purpose: To investigate the changes in blood cell counts derived indexes before and after dupilumab treatment in Chinese children with AD, the relationship with clinical scores, and the potential role of these indexes on treatment efficacy.

Objectives: Hemogram inflammatory markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red-cell distribution width (RDW), and mean platelet volume (MPV) have been associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications, namely diabetic kidney diseases (DKD). We aimed to develop and validate logistic regression (LR) and CatBoost diagnostic models and study the role of adding these markers to the models.
Methods: All individuals who were managed in our secondary care center from March 2020 to December 2023 were identified.

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), posing diagnostic challenges. This study evaluates novel inflammatory biomarkers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and system inflammation response index (SIRI) for MP diagnosis in children.
Methods: Complete blood count (CBC) results of 424 children with MP infection and 150 health children were collected.
