Carotid artery disease is commonly encountered in clinical practice and accounts for
approximately 30% of ischemic strokes in the general population. Numerous biomarkers …

Objectives Platelet/lymphocyte ratio is considered to be a recent biomarker which is not only
related with inflammation but also associated with the atherosclerotic process. In this study …

Objectives Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio is a novel biomarker, recently shown to be correlated
with atherosclerotic inflammation. This study investigated the role of platelet-to-lymphocyte …

Background Platelets may actively participate in inflammation in COPD. Platelet distribution
width (PDW), a measure of platelets' volume heterogeneity, may increase in platelets' …

Purpose The platelet distribution width (PDW) reflects the status of platelet activity and may
be useful for early predictions of the clinical outcome of stroke patients. The purpose of the …

Background: Platelets play a significant role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In
atherosclerotic plaques, the risk of plaque rupture is more crucial than the severity of the …

Background Stroke is rarely seen in children, but it is a major cause of morbidity and
mortality. Therefore, there is a need for inexpensive and noninvasive diagnostic methods for …

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as a global public health concern.
Identifying and preventing subclinical atherosclerosis (SCAS), an early indicator of CVD, is …

Platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis. Platelet activation
is associated with increased mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width …

Background: The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increases with age.
Platelet activation has been linked to PAD. Platelet distribution width (PDW) is a measure of …
