Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts the Disease Activity in Patients with Paediatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study.
Mediterr J Rheumatol
December 2024
Department of Paediatric Medicine.
Background: To assess the association between Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with a degree of activity of paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) in terms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K) score.
Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in Paediatric Rheumatology Clinic, Medical College Kolkata. Systemic lupus erythematosus was diagnosed in children based on the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria and/or SLICC 2012 criteria.
Role for neurological and immunological resilience in the pathway of the aging muscle powerpenia: InCHIANTI study longitudinal results.

The neuromuscular junction shows several degenerative changes with aging, resulting in a reduction of transmission efficacy. These changes, paired with low-grade chronic inflammation, were considered triggers of the aging muscle processes. The main objective of this study is to assess the role of leukocyte count-derived ratios, nerve conduction velocity (NCV), and compound muscle action potential (CMAP) in determining time-dependent reduction in lower limb muscle explosive strength, a condition that has been defined as powerpenia.

Targeted therapies, consisting of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) or BCL-2 inhibitors, are the mainstay of contemporary treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The most common adverse effects (AEs) of BTKis are fatigue, bruising, infection, hematological and cardiovascular AEs. While AEs during treatment are usually mild (grades 1 and 2), grade 3 and 4 AEs have been detected in some patients, necessitating additional medical care and temporary or permanent drug discontinuation.

Background: Varicose veins (VVs) are a common chronic venous disorder with a complex pathophysiology involving immune dysregulation, inflammation, and genetic predisposition. This study aims to identify immune-related causal factors in the pathogenesis of VVs using Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: A two-sample MR analysis was conducted to assess the causal relationships between immune cell phenotypes and VVs.
Effect of cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells secretory proteins on hypoxic pancreatic cancer cells.
PLoS One

Cell Therapy Center, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan.
Background: Hypoxia in tumor cells is linked to increased drug resistance and more aggressive behavior. In pancreatic cancer, the tumor microenvironment is notably hypoxic and exhibits strong immunosuppressive properties. Given that immunotherapy is now approved for pancreatic cancer treatment, further understanding of how pancreatic tumor cell hypoxia influences T-cell cytotoxicityis essential.
