Serum concentrations of soluble B7-H4 in early pregnancy are elevated in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes Aim of the study: An adequate immune tolerance plays a key role in successful pregnancy. B7-H4 are co-stimulatory molecules, responsible for the negative regulation of T-cell...
Immature granulocytes aren’t usually present in the blood; therefore, doctors can use a complete blood count (CBC) test and white blood cell count (WBC) to monitor the seriousness and progress of infections. The IG count can help doctors support diagnosis when used together with other test re...
We further observed that spontaneous and IL-8 stimulated chemotaxis were elevated in the neutrophils from VTE patients when compared to controls (12.65 [IQR 9.62–16.66] vs. 16.07 [IQR 11.62–21.72]); p = 0.03); (46.00 [IQR 33.39–57.53] vs. 56.43 [IQR 42.78–75.64]; p = 0.04...
The complete blood count (CBC) is an important screening tool for healthy adults and a common test at periodic exams. However, results are usually interpreted relative to one-size-fits-all reference intervals1,2, undermining the precision medicine goal to tailor care for patients on the basis o...
The most attracting and reliable markers of COVID-19 in patients were: normal C-reactive protein (CRP) and very different and conflicting laboratory results regardless of clinical symptoms in neonates, normal or temporary elevated CRP, conflicting WBC count results and procalcitonin elevation in ...
elevated serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), low serum iron, hepcidin, ferritin, and infant weight-for-age (WAZ), length-for-age (LAZ), and head-circumference-for-age (HCAZ) Z-scores in 99 mother-infant dyads. A bootstrapping resampling procedure preselected covariates for inclusion in multiva...
(WBC) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) at admission and blood cultures taken (and the results, including antibiogram); length of hospital stay (LOS), data on rehospitalization or a consultation in the emergency department of the Bielanski Hospital within a month after the discharge (...
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has various etiologies, making it impossible to fully understand its complex pathophysiology. Elevated levels of plasma creatinine, proteinuria, and albuminuria and declined eGFR are traits observed in CKD patient
Moreover, we evaluated the exposure to environmental factors during pregnancy in mothers of these patients. Additionally, we used bioinformatic tools to identify transcription factors binding to the TBX5 gene region of interest and to learn their possible functional effect. These results could help to...
