Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) as a Biomarker in Clinically Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: SPIROMICS cohort.

Rationale: Inflammation is central to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis but incompletely represented in COPD prognostic models. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a readily available inflammatory biomarker.

Objectives: To explore the associations of NLR with smoking status, clinical features of COPD, and future adverse outcomes.

Social determinants of health, quality of life, and productivity outcomes among adults with vitiligo in Brazil, China, India, and South Africa.

Objectives: Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease resulting in skin depigmentation and individuals report substantial psychosocial burden. However, vitiligo-related quality of life impacts appear heterogeneous and may be influenced by social determinants of health. This cross-sectional survey aimed to describe characteristics and vitiligo-related quality of life impacts among adults in Brazil, China, India, and South Africa.

The association between adolescents' independent food purchasing and dietary quality differs by socioeconomic status: Findings from a pilot study.

During adolescence, many young people start to make more independent food purchases. Subsequently, these independent food choices will increasingly contribute to their overall diet quality; little is known, however, about this relationship. This pilot study aimed to examine the role adolescents' independent food purchases play in their diet quality and assess if these relationships vary according to socio-economic status.

Differences in After-Death Communications: A Comparative Analysis of Unexpected vs. Expected Deaths and Their Impact on Survivors' Grief and Perception of Death.

This study explores changes in grief and fear of death in individuals who reported after death communications (ADC) from people who died unexpectedly or whose death was expected. We found that those bereaved by unexpected loss reported significantly higher levels of uncertainty regarding changes in their fear of death compared to those bereaved by an expected loss. However, no significant differences were found in grief between the two groups.
