Inflammatory activation is increasingly recognized as a nonconventional risk factor for
arrhythmias, and experimental studies provided robust evidence that this association is …

In both cardiovascular disease and cancer, there are established sex-based differences in
prevalence and outcomes. Males and females may also differ in terms of risk of cardiotoxicity …

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inflammatory marker predicting the prognosis

Pneumonia is caused by infection at the pulmonary parenchyma which constitutes a crucial
risk factor for morbidity and mortality. We aimed to determine the mortality rate and its risk …

Inflammatory diseases including COVID-19 are associated with a cytokine storm
characterized by high interleukin-6 (IL-6) titers. In particular, while recent studies examined …

The novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19), resulting from severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronarvirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, typically leads to respiratory failure in …

Background Sepsis, caused by a dysregulated response to infections, can lead to cardiac
arrhythmias. However, the mechanisms underlying sepsis‐induced inflammation, and how …
