Complete blood count parameters in peripheral arterial disease
The groups were statistically similar with regards to baseline clinical and demographic features. The values of C-reactive protein, white blood cell and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio values were found to be statistically significantly higher in study group versus control group, but none of them were considered as an independent predictor of peripheral arterial disease according to multivar…

Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic atherosclerotic process that causes narrowing of the peripheral arterial vasculature, predominantly of the lower limbs. It has an estimated worldwide prevalence of up to 10%, increasing to nearly 30% in patients more than 50 years of age.1 Critical limb ischemia (CLI), the most severe manifestation of the disease, can result in limb loss, or even …

Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids an the brain: a review of the independent and …
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) exhibit neuroprotective properties and represent a potential treatment for a variety of neurodegenerative and neurological disorders. However, traditionally there has been a lack of discrimination between the different omega-3 PUFAs and effects have been broadly accredited to the series as a whole. Evidence for unique effects of eicosapentaenoic acid …

Supplementation of DHA but not DHA with arachidonic acid during pregnancy and…
DHA and arachidonic acid (AA) are important for neurodevelopment. A traditional neonatal neurological examination and the evaluation of general movement quality are sensitive techniques for assessing neurodevelopment in young infants. Mildly abnormal general movements at 3 months have been associated with a non-optimal current brain condition. We investigated whether supplementation of DHA duri…

Factors That Influence the Immune Response to Vaccination
There is substantial variation between individuals in the immune response to vaccination. In this review, we provide an overview of the plethora of studies that have investigated factors that influence humoral and cellular vaccine responses in humans. These include intrinsic host factors (such as age, sex, genetics, and comorbidities), perinatal factors (such as gestational age, birth weight, …

Innate and Adaptive Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis
This review considers critically the evidence for the involvement of mediators of innate and acquired immunity in various stages of atherosclerosis. Rapidly mobilized arms of innate immunity, including phagocytic leukocytes, complement, and proinflammatory cytokines, contribute to atherogenesis. In addition, adaptive immunity, with its T cells, antibodies, and immunoregulatory cytokines, pow…

Adaptive immunity
The innate immune system provides critical mechanisms for the rapid sensing and elimination of pathogens. Adaptive immunity has evolved to provide a broader and more finely tuned repertoire of recognition for both self- and nonself-antigens. Adaptive immunity involves a tightly regulated interplay between antigen-presenting cells and T and B lymphocytes, which facilitate pathogen-specific immu…

Natural Antibodies Bridge Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Natural Abs, belonging to isotypes IgM, IgG3, and IgA, were discovered nearly half a century ago. Despite knowledge about the role of the polyreactive natural IgM in pathogen elimination, B cell survival and homeostasis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmunity, there is a lack of clarity about the physiological role of natural IgG and natural IgA because they appear incapable of recognizing Ag…

Immune checkpoint therapy for non-smallcell lung cancer: an update
The role of immunotherapy in treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been gaining interest over the past few years. This has been driven primarily by promising results from trials evaluating antagonist antibodies that target coinhibitory immune checkpoints expressed on tumor cells and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment. Immune checkpoints exist to dampen or terminate im…
