Introduction: There have been various inflammatory markers implicated in the pathogenesis of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS). However, the role of the Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) as prognostic markers in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) remains poorly researched. Aim: To determine the prognostic value of NLR and PLR to predict the immediate outcomes in patients with acute STEMI, and if any association exists between NLR/PLR and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care centre, Puducherry, India, where 190 patients who presented to casualty with STEMI were enrolled. The patient co-morbidities, personal and family history were obtained. The routine laboratory parameters including platelets, lymphocytes, neutrophils and their corresponding ratios were calculated. Patients were grouped into low and high NLR/PLR groups and were assessed for occurrence of in-hospital mortality or Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE). Analysis was made to see if there is an association between NLR/PLR and MACE. Chi-square test and one-way ANOVA test was used for statistical significance. Results: Among 190 subjects, 157 male and 33 female with mean age of 55.72±11.24 years were included. A total of 8.94% patients 8.94% had MACE. NLR was positively associated with MACE (p-value=0.0006), whereas PLR was not associated with MACE. Patients with high NLR had 1.45 times higher odds of having MACE. NLR was significantly associated with TIMI risk score. Both NLR (F ratio=6.341) and PLR (F ratio=4.600) showed significant association with Killip classification, however NLR showed higher association (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: NLR can be used as a powerful prognostic marker for predicting immediate MACE and death in STEMI patients. In addition, NLR showed positive correlation with Killip classification and TIMI risk score.

Background: The relationship between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with outcome is a complex issue. A high NLR reflects systemic inflammation. This study aimed to estimate the relationship between NLR, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in disease-free survival (DFS). Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which we reviewed the patient files of 102 patients with breast cancer treated at the Babylon Oncology Center from January 2009 to September 2014, who had follow-up for at least 36 months. The following data were collected from patient files: age, diagnosis date, date of recurrence and/or metastasis, follow-up, histological tumor type, tumor size, node metastasis stage, histological differentiation degree, estrogen and/or progesterone receptor expression, HER2 neu status, and metastasis site. Results: The mean age of patients was 50.4 ± 11.7 years and lowest period of follow up was 40 months. Longest DFS was 62 months, with 5 years DFS in 52.5% of patients. Stage N0 was associated with a significantly higher DFS compared to stage N1. Isolated local recurrence was seen in 15% of patients and combined local recurrences with distant metastasis was observed 37%. NLR had the highest discrimination ability to predict recurrence and distant metastasis. Conclusion: An increase in NLR was associated with poor DFS, and it can therefore be a predictive and prognostic factor. NLR’s established prediction model warrants further investigation.

  Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the arterial stiffness indices and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in young prehypertensives.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried as a part of the medical health check-up program conducted on 150 students joining 1st year MBBS. Based on their blood pressure (BP) recordings they were classified as normotensives and prehypertensives. Arterial stiffness indices were assessed using finger photoplethysmography, and NLR was evaluated using automated hematological analyzer. Student’s t-test and Pearson’s correlation were performed using SPSS version 16 and p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Of the 150 subjects, 106 were recruited for the present study. Based on BP, they were grouped as normotensives (n=66) and prehypertensives (n=40). Arterial stiffness indices, namely, stiffness index (SI) and reflection index (RI) reported a significant increase among the prehypertensive group with p=0.003 and p=0.002, respectively. SI and RI showed a positive correlation with systolic BP, diastolic BP, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI). NLR reported a significant increase in a prehypertensive group with p=0.03 but no correlation was found between NLR and arterial stiffness indices.Conclusion: Targeting the high-risk individuals, based on increased arterial stiffness, NLR, BMI and BP, for earlier lifestyle modifications could act as a potential preventive strategy to inhibit the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Aim: To assess the necessity to review the Oral pathology curriculum, based on the expert opinion of faculty members of oral pathology of Karachi. Methods: In this cross-sectional study the data was collected by non-probability sampling technique from different colleges of Karachi. Distribution of the online questionnaire regarding curriculum of oral pathology was made through Google online forms. Questionnaire was only filled by oral pathology specialists/ experts/faculty of dental colleges of different cities after taking their verbal consent. Inclusion criteria was Oral pathology faculty members from all Pakistan Medical Council affiliated colleges having undergraduate BDS program. Results: Males were 22(66.7%). Among the respondents, 40.62% were Assistant Professor, followed by Demonstrator 31.25% and Associate professor 28.12%. Among participants, approximately 13(39.4%) agreed that the PMC syllabus is non-specific. Topic selection is difficult for 12(36.4%) participants. About 21(63.6%) thought that an extensive Oral Pathology syllabus is needed. Reviews for the inclusion of general pathology topics scored 14(42.4%) disagreement. About 11(33.3%) reported having missing Oral Pathology topics in the curriculum. Majority 18(54.5%) agreed to revise the curriculum. Conclusion: It has been concluded that faculty members of oral pathology recommend a high necessity to review the Oral pathology curriculum in Pakistan. By gathering modifications within the existing program of curriculum, it can be made more intriguing and systematized for students. Keywords: Oral pathology, curriculum, cross-sectional, study
