leukocytosis/アルブミン

BACKGROUND Previous studies showed that dogs with extreme leukocytosis had specific types of diseases, long hospitalization times, and high mortality rates. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether dogs with moderate to severe leukocytosis are likely to have similar results compared

Hypercalcemia and leukocytosis are two of the most common paraneoplastic syndromes associated with various malignancies. Of note, concomitant manifestation of hypercalcemia and leukocytosis are occasionally observed in the same cancer patients. However, the relationship between these two

BACKGROUND Inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) is a frequent condition in cats but etiology often remains unsolved. Routine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis can be extended through the calculation of the albumin quotient (Q(alb)), a marker of the integrity of the blood-brain barrier

The influence of leukocytes and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) capsule on blood brain barrier permeability (BBBP) to circulating 125I-albumin in normal and leukopenic rats was assessed after intracisternal inoculation of encapsulated (Rd-/b+/02) or unencapsulated (Rd-/b-/02) isogenic strains of

To distinguish between febrile infants with cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis who are finally diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and those with enterovirus meningitis poses a diagnostic challenge. We compared clinical and laboratory features at admission between two groups of infants, aged 30-90 days, to

Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) is a frequently severe, sometimes fatal iatrogenic disease that is antibiotic-associated in almost all cases. The most common clinical features of PMC include abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, fever, leukocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, and hypovolemia. Ascites, not

BACKGROUND Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) was registered by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a marker of myocardial ischemia. OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of IMA measurement for differentiating patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with no ST elevation and patients with

The measurement of albumin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum for albumin quotient (AQ) calculations in normal horses was performed by 2 methods: 1) total protein measurement, followed by electrophoresis of the samples to obtain an albumin percentage; and 2) albumin

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) form nine lethally infected and three convalescent gnotobiotic dogs infected with the R252 strain of canine distemper virus (CDV) was evaluated prior to and following infection. Lethally infected dogs had a mean seven-fold increase in CSF albumin concentration compared to

OBJECTIVE Although activation of an immune response during major depressive episodes has been reported, less is known about changes during manic and mixed bipolar episodes. METHODS Albumin and leukocyte levels were compared between subjects in manic and mixed bipolar episodes. Neutrophil, lymphocyte

BACKGROUND Preoperative asymptomatic leukocytosis has been reported as a factor that affects morbidity of surgical patients. We sought to identify the relationship between asymptomatic preoperative leukocytosis and postoperative complications in elective colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS The NSQIP

BACKGROUND Long-term outcomes are favorable for patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and for patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). However, hemorrhage is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in those patients. METHODS We retrospectively recruited 247 patients who had received a

Acute brain injury induces early and transient hepatic expression of chemokines, which amplify the injury response and give rise to movement of leukocytes into the blood and subsequently the brain and liver. Here, we sought to determine whether an ongoing injury stimulus within the brain would

We studied various biological activities of crystalline pertussigen and found that in mice as little as 0.5 ng of pertussigen induced hypersensitivity to histamine, 8 to 40 ng induced leukocytosis, 2 ng increased production of insulin, 0.1 ng increased production of immunoglobulin E and

PET is now widely used in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer with (18)F-FDG. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of diffuse bone marrow hypermetabolism along with other PET prognostic factors with respect to survival and compare them with other established prognostic
