Cognitive Impairments in LRRK2-Related Parkinson’s Disease: A Study in Chinese Individuals by Yifan Zheng, Zhong Pei, Yanmei Liu, Hongyan Zhou, Wenbiao Xian, Yingying Fang, Ling Chen, Qi Wu

“…No differences in motor features were found between two groups, but the executive function evaluation showed that Stroop word colour test time (SWCT-TIME) scores were lower in LRRK2 S1647T carriers than in noncarriers (P=0.017). However, multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the correlation between S1647T polymorphism and SWCT-TIME scores did not reach significant level (P=0.051). …”

The Impact of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratios in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer by Samet Kirat, Utku Akgor

“…It was determined that neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio >2.45 (HR 0.714, CI 0.622-0.794, p<0.0001) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio >179.4 (HR 0.736, CI 0.646-0.814, p<0.0001) could predict the presence of recurrence with a certain sensitivity and specificity, and for predicting the death, a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio of >2.45 had a sensitivity of 78.26% (95% CI: 56.3 to 92.5%) and a specificity of 54.84% (95%CI: 44.2 - 65.2) (p=0.03). …”
