  • Normal and inflamed mouse lungs (n=5/group), normal human lungs (n=3) and inflamed human lungs (n=3) from patients who died of sepsis were also used. (usask.ca)
  • In brief, we provided a positive test of the hypothesis that severity of patients' depression would be significantly associated with prognostically poor inflammation. (ilcn.org)
  • 5 , 8 Data showed the severity of patients' depressive symptoms to be reliably associated with elevations of the three inflammation biomarkers (p ≤ 0.02) predictive of OS. (ilcn.org)
  • As shown, patients with moderate to severe depressive symptoms had disproportionately high inflammation indexed by PLR. (ilcn.org)
