Current role of endoscopic ultrasound for gastrointestinal and abdominal tuberculosis.

A high incidence of tuberculosis (TB), especially in endemic countries, makes this infectious disease a concern. Abdominal TB contributes to 10% of extrapulmonary TB. Due to nonspecific clinical, radiological, and endoscopic findings, diagnosing abdominal TB continues to be a challenge.

Prognostic value of platelet to lymphocyte ratio in predicting survival of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer receiving abiraterone acetate: An evidence-based case report and review of literature.

Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a candidate prognostic marker for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients receiving abiraterone acetate and evidence demonstrates that a high PLR is associated with poor survival. More studies are required to verify current findings and establish a definite cutoff point.
