Red blood cells (RBCs) are emerging as important regulators of cell function and survival. A small, but important body of literature has demonstrated that the inclusion of RBCs in culture with other cell types can initiate changes in the secretion profile and in the activity of those cells. Fo...
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to platelet ratio (RPR) is a novel inflammatory indicator. It integrates the risk prediction of RDW and platelet, which is associated with adverse outcomes. However, the predictive power of RPR in mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI...
