Evaluation of the activity of eosinophils in the blood of very low birth weight infantsBackground: Eosinophilia is a common finding in neonatal units. The role of eosinophilia in preterm infants is uncertain. The aim of the study was the assessment of absolute eosinophil count (AEC) and ...
Interpretation of results The preparation was considered negative if no L. loa microfilariae were found and positive in the presence of at least one. Eosinophil count From a thin blood smear of 5 μl, eosinophils were counted and expressed as a percentage of 100 white blood cells detected under...

Our analyses showed that the low-gluten diet had no effect on circulating white blood cell counts or markers of systemic inflammation in unstimulated blood or on measures of intestinal inflammation. Likewise, no effects were seen on intestinal permeability markers. We did, however, notice that LPS-...
rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis Levels increased in asthmatic patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis Severe asthmatics (n = 695); nasal polyposis (n = 282), 2.5% smokers; ICS and OCS treated To select patients with nasal polyposis even when blood eosinophils are ...
eosinophils, percentage of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils to the total white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Immune trait-specific extreme outliers (<quartile(Q)1 – 3*interquartile (IQR) or >Q3 + 3*IQR) were co...
Results Laser treatment with 50 mW was more efficient than 100 mW in reducing cellular inflammation, and decreased the expression of IL-1β and IL-6. However, the 100 mW treatment led to a higher reduction of TNFα compared with the 50 mW treatment. Conclusions LLLT with 50 mW was more ...
emphysema had lower blood eosinophil counts compared to patients without emphysema [median (IQR) 34.6 (0.0, 63.0) vs. 169.0 (110.0, 260.0) cells/L, p < 0.001]; similar results were observed for the percentage (%) of blood eosinophils, but no difference was observed for sputum eosinophils. ...
Low-density neutrophils (LDNs) are a subset of neutrophils first described in the bloodstream upon pathological conditions, and recently, in the blood of healthy humans. LDNs may have an enhanced pro-inflammatory (low-density granulocytes, LDGs) or an im
performed on an ad hoc basis using only minimal volume of blood sample (0.05 mL of whole blood). Moreover, the result of the test can be made accessible within a few hours (Ͻ4 h) after the specimen reaches the laboratory. To further validate the value and applicability of CD64 for ...
