The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart Lung Blood and Quality Assessment Tool was used to assess the quality of the observational cohort, cross-sectional, case-control, and intervention studies [26]. The 40 included papers were categorized as “Good”, “Fair” and “Poor” d...
These include MCV, MCH, RDW, CHr, serum iron and serum ferritin levels, TIBC, transferrin saturation, Hb electrophoresis, and occasionally reticulocyte blood count. Also oral and/or parenteral iron treatment is important in evaluation of the hematological status of the patient. To achieve a ...
Anemia in malaria is a multi-factorial complication, since dyserythropoiesis, hemolysis and phagocytic clearance of uninfected red blood cells (RBCs) can contribute to this syndrome. High levels of oxidative stress and immune dysregulation have been proposed to contribute to severe malarial anemia, ...
Since HbA1c is a reflection of the glucose attached to red blood cells, factors affecting hemoglobin and red blood cells' half-life can influence HbA1c measurements.#This study aims to evaluate the effect of different types of anemia including iron deficiency anemia, sickle cell anemia, β -...
One year after landing, erythrocytic effects persisted, including increased levels of hemolysis, reticulocytosis and hemoglobin. These findings suggest that the destruction of red blood cells, termed hemolysis, is a primary effect of microgravity in space flight and support the hypothesis that the ...
This in part has led to the use of extreme measures such as hyperbaric chambers, ventilation or paralysis for profound anemia and the establishment of specialized Centers for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery to care for individuals refusing blood products. A retrospective chart review of 128 patients ...
METHODS: We searched our database for singleton D-alloimmunized pregnancies with nonhydropic fetuses, where amniocentesis was performed within 4 days of first fetal blood sampling. Amniotic fluid Δ OD 450 values were plotted on an extrapolated Liley’s chart. Sensitivity and specificity were ...
1. Cerebral blood flow and metabolism were measured in 16 patients with pernicious anemia. Seven of the patients were restudied in various stages of therapy. 2. The patients fell into two equal groups, those with severe anemia and those with moderate or no anemia. In the first group, cerebr...

due to limited availability of blood resources, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, the post-transfusion peripheral hemoglobin levels of certain patients did not meet the established standard. The availability of blood was beyond the control of the medical staff. Hence, the patients were divid...
