Generalized actinobacillosis in a cow by Enver Beytut, Mehmet Tuzcu

“…Microscopical examination revealed that the granulomas were characterized by colonies of bacteria surrounded by radially arranged projections in the center of neutrophil leucocyles which were again surrounded by macrophages and giant cells of Langhans type with outer fibrous capsule including lymphocyte and plasma cells. The sections stained with Brown and Brenn, Ziehl-Neelsen and Gridley methods were positive for Gram-negative bacteria; negative for acid-fast bacilli and mycotic agents, respectively.…”

Significance of Biogenetic Markers in Giant Cell Tumor Differentiation and Prognosis: A Narrative Review by Muhammad Taqi, Haseeb ul Rasool, Mobeen Zaka Haider, Munjed Al Muderis

“…H3F3A and H3F3B mutation analysis appears to be a highly specific, although less sensitive, diagnostic tool for the distinction of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) and chondroblastoma from other giant cell-containing tumors. A neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) > 2.70, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) > 215.80, lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) ≤ 2.80, and albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) < 1.50 were significantly associated with decreased disease-free survival (DFS) (<i>p</i> < 0.05). …”

The neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in peritoneal dialysis patients by Mingfan Xu, Jingjia Huan, Lujie Zhu, Jiachun Xu, Kai Song

“…Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of NPAR (0.714) was significantly superior to those of C-reactive protein (CRP) (0.597), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (0.589), C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) (0.698) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (0.533).Conclusion NPAR served as an independent predictive marker for all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in PD patients. …”
