Background:

To evaluate systemic inflammatory markers including the monocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) ratio (MHR), neutrophil to HDL ratio (NHR), lymphocyte to HDL ratio (LHR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to HDL ratio (PHR) in patients with keratoconus (KC). Correlations between these systemic markers and corneal topographic parameters were also investigated.

Methods:

Retrospective analysis of peripheral blood sample results in patients with KC (n: 103) were performed. Mean MHR, NHR, LHR, NLR, and PHR were calculated in KC patients, and age and sex matched healthy controls (n:99). Corneal topography markers were also evaluated and correlations with systemic inflammatory markers were investigated.

Results:

The mean PHR was significantly higher in KC group compared to control group (p = 0.004). Optimal PHR cut-off value for KC was calculated as 4807 with 74.8% sensitivity and 45.5% specificity. No significant correlation was found between corneal topograhy parameters and systemic inflammatory markers.

Conclusions:

The mean PHR value was found to be higher in patients with keratoconus and no correlation was found between corneal topography findings and systemic inflammatory markers. This study is the first to explore HDL associated systemic inflammatory markers.

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...
