Otosclerosis is an idiopathic disease characterized by new bone formation in foci of the human otic capsule. It is more common in Caucasian populations; affecting females twice as often as males. Its etiopathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between otosclerosis and white blood cel...

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a frequent complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of platelet function. The relationship between MPV and HT remains unclear. From January 1st, 2012 to December 31st 2016, we consecutively enrolled AIS patients admitted to the Department of Neurology of West China Hospit...

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory, immune-mediated disease, and platelets have an important role in the pathomechanisms of psoriasis. Recent studies showed that MPV (mean platelet volume) could be used as a marker of platelet activation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the MPV level and platelet count in psoriasis patients and its associat...
Abstract Background: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a granulomatous necrotizing vasculitis with high morbidity and mortality. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody is a valuable diagnostic marker, however its titer lacks predictive value for the severity of organ involvement. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MP...

The mean platelet volume (MPV) has important role in the pathophysiology of vascular diseases as a marker of the platelet activity. To investigate the association between mean platelet volume and erectile dysfunction (ED) and to search whether this marker can be used for diagnosis of ED. Of the 312 patients with ED of various degrees, 122 patients ...

ObjectiveAbsence of nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dipping is associated with poor health outcomes, including increased mortality. Non-dipper BP seems to be a predictor of cardiovascular damage in hypertensive patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the mean platelet volume (MPV) and red cell distribution width (RDW) wi...

Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) is a common problem and a significant cause of chronic gastric inflammation. H. pylori , ongoing gastric inflammation and its severity are the most critical component of precursors of gastric cancer. Hypothetically, every chronic tissue injury activates platelets, and the mean platelet volume (MPV) reflects this ac...

Platelets have been reported to participate in tumor cell growth, extravasation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, the importance of platelets in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) lacks adequate literature support. The predictive value of tumor-infiltrating platelets (TIPs) in pNET remains unclear. To...
