Peripheral Blood Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Functional Outcomes in Patients with Hemorrhagic Stroke.

Background: Peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has recently emerged as a prognostic biomarker in many disease states. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of NLR to predict poor functional outcomes in patients with hemorrhagic stroke and to compare it with the intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) score.

Materials And Methods: Patients who presented to the emergency department with clinical features suggestive of stroke were evaluated with computed tomography (CT) brain to identify ICH.

Evaluation of Changes in the Alar Base Width Following Lefort 1 and AMO with Conventional Alar Cinch Suturing: A Photographic Study of 100 Cases.

Objective: To assess the changes in alar base width in patients who underwent Lefort 1 osteotomy with anterior maxillary osteotomy (AMO), where conventional alar cinch suturing was done to control the alar base widening.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on pre-operative and post-operative photographs of 100 female patients aged between 18 and 30 years who underwent Lefort 1 osteotomy with AMO. The derived values were then compared and analysed using test.
