Anti-varicella Zoster Virus IgG and hsCRP Levels Correlate with Progression of Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
The relationship between high levels of anti-Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis commends a possible similar association in other vessels. We aimed to investigate the association of VZV-se...

Diagnosis and classification of pediatric acute appendicitis by artificial intelligence methods: An investigator-independent approach.

PloS one
Acute appendicitis is one of the major causes for emergency surgery in childhood and adolescence. Appendectomy is still the therapy of choice, but conservative strategies are increasingly being studied for uncomplicated inflammation. Diagnosis of acu...

Machine Learning to Understand the Immune-Inflammatory Pathways in Fibromyalgia.

International journal of molecular sciences
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, and physical and emotional symptoms. Although its pathophysiology is largely unknown, immune-inflammatory pathways may be involved. We examined serum interleuki...

Development and Validation of Machine Learning Models in Prediction of Remission in Patients With Moderate to Severe Crohn Disease.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Biological therapies have revolutionized inflammatory bowel disease management, but many patients do not respond to biological monotherapy. Identification of likely responders could reduce costs and delays in remission.

Probiotic and selenium co-supplementation, and the effects on clinical, metabolic and genetic status in Alzheimer's disease: A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Combined probiotic and selenium supplementation may improve Alzheimer's disease (AD) by correcting metabolic abnormalities, and attenuating inflammation and oxidative stress. This study aimed to determine the effects of probiotic...

Effects of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status, immune, and inflammatory profiles of gastric cancer patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the effect of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status and the immune and inflammatory profiles of patients with gastric cancer during antineoplastic pretreatment.

Low vitamin D at ICU admission is associated with cancer, infections, acute respiratory insufficiency, and liver failure.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVES: Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with comorbidities and poor prognosis. However, this association in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the serum...

Lipid Metabolism in Patients with Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis.

Neuroimmunomodulation
OBJECTIVE: Lipid metabolism has been implicated in autoimmune disorders, but its relationship with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is unclear. This study examined the association of serum lipids with anti-NMDAR encephalit...

Procalcitonin as Predictor of Bacterial Infection in Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.

American journal of perinatology
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of definite consensus on indications for initiating antibiotics in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), instigating researchers to search for a biomarker that can help differentiate MAS from MAS with bacterial...

Inflammatory bowel disease patients experiencing a loss of response to infliximab regain long-term response after undergoing granulocyte/monocyte apheresis: A case series.

Cytokine
Up to 50% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) experience a loss of response (LOR) to infliximab after an initial response to the drug. Granulocyte/monocyte apheresis (GMA) with the Adacolumn depletes the activated myeloid...
