Evaluation of serum C-reactive protein levels as a predictor of outcome in puppies infected with parvovirus
… elect for euthanasia of their pet. Acute phase proteins (APP) are proteins that change in concentration by at least 25% in animals subjected to external or internal inflammatory challenges, such as infection, inflammation or surgical trauma. Increased concentrations are associated with poor …

The Association Between Changes in Body Fat, Body Weight and Serum C-Reactive Protein: A Prospective Study
… (BF%) and weight (BW) relate to changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) in women, while statistically controlling for possible confounders, such as age, initial body weight, and menopause status.</p> <p><strong><em>Methods and Results-</strong></em> A cohort of 150 free-living subjects was …

Usefulness of Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) Level for Predicting Flap Complication after Performing Free Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction
… because of its narrow and inaccessible anatomy. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level is commonly used as a marker of acute inflammatory response and quantitative test that shows predictable kinetics. Therefore, awareness of natural CRP trend of free microvascular head and neck reconstruction may …

The diagnositic test accuracy of serum procalcitonin compared to C-reactive protein for bone and joint infection in children and adolescents: A Systematic review and Meta-analysis
… the diagnostic test accuracy of measurement of serum procalcitonin compared to serum C-reactive protein for suspected osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in hospitalised children and adolescents. Introduction: Measurement of serum C-reactive protein remains a routine investigation for the …

Value of Raisins for Reduction of Oxidative Stress, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Inflammation in Obesity
… of oxidative stress (urinary 8-isoPGF2α; serum Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, ORAC), inflammation (serum C-reactive protein, CRP; interleukin-6, IL-6), endothelial function (serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, sICAM-1; soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1, sVCAM-1), and …

Aetiology and presentation of childhood pleural infections in the post-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine era in South Africa
… latter had significantly higher median values: serum C-reactive protein (250 vs 122 mg/L, p< 0.001), procalcitonin (11 vs 0.5 mg/L, p< 0.001) pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase (7280 vs 544 U/L, p< 0.001), and adenosine deaminase levels (162 vs 48 U/L, p< 0.001) and lower glucose levels (1.3 vs …

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Cardiovascular Exercise: Role of Visceral Adipose Tissue
… fitness, systemic inflammation (as measured by serum C-reactive protein, CRP), as well as total and central (i.e., trunk) fat. Only the decrease in trunk fat was significantly related to the reduction in CRP, suggesting that the mechanism behind the anti-inflammatory effect of EX may involve a …

Investigating cytokine biomarkers as early predictors of poor clinical outcome following major trauma
… cytokine levels were defined using Day 5 serum C-reactive protein concentration as ameasure of poor outcome (rather than SOFA scores), similar trends were observed.However, the data was not statistically significant, possibly due to confounding factorsresulting from a lower cohort size (n …

The influence of body composition and physical activity on inflamm-aging, fatigue and function in older adults
… blood samples were obtained for measurement of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and WBC count. Fatigue was assessed by the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), to determine levels of general, physical and mental fatigue as well as …
