Blood tests such as acomplete blood count(CBC) and iron levels in the blood play no role in locating the site of gastrointestinal bleeding, but CBC and blood iron levels may help determine whether bleeding is acute or chronic, since anemia (low red blood cell count) associated with iron def...
Muscular young or middle-aged adults may have more creatinine in their blood than the norm for the general population. Elderly persons may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 mg/dL or more, depending on their muscle development. ...

Routine biochemistry tests are often performed to screen elderly people for various conditions, for example diabetes or blood lipid abnormalities; they are also used to assess metabolic tolerance of particular drugs. During an acute event, biochemical analysis can play an important part in diagnosis, ...
Physiological variations have been described with a reduced vasoreactivity in women [57], the elderly subject [58] and during the early hours of the day [59,60]. O2 vasoreactivity The vascular effects of O2, as opposed to those of CO2, have also been known for several decades [61]. Hyp...
The distribution of results for the analyzed variables was checked using the Shapiro–Wilk test. The significance of differences between groups in the case of individual measurements was assessed using tests for independent samples (Student’s t-test or the Mann–Whitney U non-parametric test). Ana...
