To determine the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and treatment response of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) with normal platelet count. Study further aimed to determine changing of platelet parameters treatment response of IDA. ⋯ There is no change in MPV levels before and after treatment when normal platelet count IDA is treated, but there is a decrease in platelet count and an increase in PDW.

Oncological safety of active surveillance for low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Current standard of care for patients diagnosed with "low-risk" ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) involves surgical resection. Ongoing phase III clinical trials are hoping to establish the oncological safety of active surveillance (AS) in managing "low-risk" DCIS. ⋯ CRD42022313241.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) participates in the autoimmune disease pathology by regulating T helper (Th) cell differentiation, NF-κB pathway, toll-like receptor 4, etc. This study intended to investigate the association of serum PCSK9 with disease activity, Th cells, and treatment response in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. ⋯ Serum PCSK9 is positively associated with disease activity and Th17 cells, while its short-term decline reflects desirable treatment response in AS patients.
