Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio as surrogate for JAK2V617F suppression and event-free survival in polycythemia vera by Tiziano Barbui, Arianna Ghirardi, Victoria Empson, Francesca Fenili, Giuseppe Gaetano Loscocco, Annalisa Condorelli, Alessandra Iurlo, Daniele Cattaneo, Elena Rossi, Valerio De Stefano, Paola Guglielmelli, Christoph Klade, Heinz Gisslinger, Alessandro Rambaldi, Joseph M. Scandura, Alessandro Maria Vannucchi

“…Abstract Chronic systemic inflammation is a key driver of polycythemia vera (PV) progression, but the immunomodulatory effects of current treatments remain poorly defined. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an accessible biomarker of systemic inflammation proven in other contexts, but its role in monitoring PV disease activity has not been established. …”

Gender differences of neurometabolic and neuroendocrine alternations and its lateralization in adolescents with major depressive disorder by Xiaodong Song, Shuya Yan, Shunkai Lai, Yiliang Zhang, Ying Wang, Jiali He, Dong Huang, Jianzhao Zhang, Xiaodan Lu, Guanmao Chen, Pan Chen, Qilin Zhong, Rongxu Zhang, Yangyu Wu, Jie Yin, Shuming Zhong, Yanbin Jia

“…Abstract Background The clinical characteristics of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents show notable gender-related differences, but the cause of these differences is still not understood. The current research concentrates on the changes in neurometabolism and neuroendocrine function, aiming to identify differences in endocrine function and brain metabolism between male and female adolescents with MDD. …”

Replacing fishmeal with an insect meal blend: Implications for intestinal microbiota in European seabass by Violeta Kalemi, Simona Rimoldi, Rafaela S. Costa, Ana Basto, Marta Monteiro, Genciana Terova, Luisa M.P. Valente

“…This research stands out by examining a combination of IMs rather than a single source, thereby addressing an underexplored area in the current literature. In a feeding trial that lasted 75 days, European seabass were fed three different diets: a commercial-like control diet and two experimental diets containing partial replacement of FM with IM (25 % and 50 %). …”
