Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Allergy Patients

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.242
Pages: 
227-9
Synopsis: 
This study was conducted to investigate the association between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the progression of the disease in the cases of acute allergic reactions. The significantly high NLR in acute allergic reaction cases in this study suggests that it may be a useful diagnostic parameter in allergic reactions.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the clinical characteristics of the acute allergic reaction patients diagnosed in an emergency clinic.

Clinicopathological Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Pulmonary Carcinosarcoma in Eight Patients

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.042
Pages: 
533-7
Synopsis: 
The present study included eight cases with pulmonary carcinosarcoma. Pathological diagnosis of PC was made by surgical resection in all patients. Operations were lobectomy (n = 6), bilobectomy inferior (n = 1) and pneumonectomy (n = 1). The median survival time was 21.5 months (range: 1-75 months).

ABSTRACT

Background: Pulmonary carcinosarcoma (PC) is a rare malignant tumour of the lung. Due to its rarity, few studies have been reported and its clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical, radiological and pathological findings and treatment outcomes of patients with PC.

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.457
Pages: 
230-4
Synopsis: 
Atropa belladonna intoxication may seriously progress in the act of late diagnosis and treatment in childhood. It is crucial to realize that in Atropa belladonna poisoning, patients should be evaluated carefully in terms of intensive care needs. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale < 12 should be observed in the intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT

Objective: A very small amount of Atropa belladonna (AB) can lead to serious symptoms of poisoning and can cause death in children. In this study, demographic, clinic and laboratory results of AB poisoning were evaluated.
