“…Similarly, no significant association was found between MPV and type-II DM, 39 myocardial infarction patients, 40 and acute coronary syndrome. 41 In the present study, WBC indices (WBC count, lymphocyte, and mixed number) increased significantly in the DM patients compared with the control group. This study supports the finding of previous studies conducted in Libya, 42 Ethiopia, 43 India, 44 Nigeria, 45 Bangladesh, 46 and Turkey.…”

“…Among the different variables that can determine the mean peripheral platelet count, platelet production rate, mean platelet survival/life span, and the size of the exchangeable splenic platelet pool can be mentioned [ 37 ]. In contrast to the relationship between malaria and thrombocytopenia in the present study, a study reported by Sincer et al showed that there was an inverse relationship between the number of blood eosinophil count and the severity of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in elderly patients [ 38 ].…”

Background. Thrombocytopenia is the most common hematological abnormality in patients with acute malaria. This study aimed to determine the role of thrombocytopenia as a diagnostic marker for malaria in patients with acute febrile illness. Method. A cross-sectional health facility-based study was conducted on 423 consecutively selected acute febrile patients at Ataye District Hospital from February to May 2019 GC. A complete blood count and malaria microscopy were performed for each acute febrile patient. ROC curve analysis was performed to calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of platelet count in predicting malaria. A P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result. Out of the 423 acute febrile patients, 73 (17.3%) were microscopically confirmed malaria cases and the rest 350 (82.7%) patients had negative blood film results. Of the microscopically confirmed malaria cases, 55 (75.34%) were P. vivax and 18 (24.66%) were P. falciparum. The prevalence of thrombocytopenia among malaria patients (79.5%) was significantly higher than those in malaria negative acute febrile patients (13.7%), P < 0.001. About 67% malaria-infected patients had mild to moderate thrombocytopenia and 12.3% had severe thrombocytopenia. The ROC analysis demonstrated platelet counts <150,000/μl as an optimal cutoff value with 0.893 area under the curve, 79.5% sensitivity, 86.3% specificity, 95.3% negative predictive value, and 54.7% positive predictive value to predict malaria. Conclusion. Malaria is still among the major public health problems in the country. Thrombocytopenia is a very good discriminatory test for the presence or absence of malaria with 79.5% sensitivity and 86.3% specificity. Therefore, this may be used in addition to the clinical and microscopic parameters to heighten the suspicion of malaria.

“…These proinflammatory muscle growth factors can be induced through autocrine/paracrine manner and cause muscle dysfunction, triggering and sustaining the development of the SO. 33 Moreover, multiple factors in the inflammatory response are closely associated with chronic conditions including obesity, 34 metabolic syndrome, 35 type 2 diabetes 36,37 and coronary heart disease, 38 which all promote to SO. Studies have shown that inflammatory factors are associated with type 2 diabetes, and the increase in white blood cells is mainly due to neutrophil count, while the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in type 2 diabetes patients is increased compared with the healthy control group.…”

Objective Sarcopenic obesity is associated with several negative health outcomes. However, there are only a few studies on the relationship between SO and metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and abnormal lipid metabolism in Chinese adults. The aim of this work was to evaluate the association between SO and hypertension, diabetes, and abnormal lipid metabolism in Chinese adults, and explore the prediction of SO using relevant anthropometric indicators. Materials and Methods All participants underwent a questionnaire interview for the collection of demographic data. Thereafter, they underwent physical examination for the measurement of anthropometric variables, which was performed using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Biochemical measurements were determined according to standard laboratory procedures used for the evaluation of blood parameters. Results We included 14,926 patients aged 35–74 years old. The mean age of the participants was 56.75 ± 9.76 years old, and 39.80% of them were male. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 24.94 ± 3.40 kg/m 2 , and the overall prevalence of SO was 65.1%. The results showed that shorter people; people with faster heart rate; heavier weight; lower waist circumference (WC), BMI, triglyceride level, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels; and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level are at risk for SO. Conclusion The prevalence of SO is high (65.1%) in Chinese adults aged 35–74 years old. The occurrence of SO is related to hypertension, diabetes, and abnormal lipid metabolism. BMI, WC, and waist-hip ratio may be predictive indicators of SO. The incidence of SO may be reduced by timely intervention and health education for persons at risk of the condition.
