If you ever need a transfusion, knowing your specific Blood Type could be a matter of life and death. But many people believe that knowing which Blood Type you are can determine your personality and seriously effect the way your body reacts to disease and processes food. In this article, I...
Conclusion: There was no association found between the ABO blood type and COVID-19 infection rate or disease severity. No evidence was noted to support the use of ABO blood type as a marker for COVID-19. Further efforts are warranted to better predict outcomes of hospit...
Patients (N ¼ 18) with any variation in disease activity among their visits showed strong correlation between modified MITAX score changes and changes in the 13-gene type 1 IFN-inducible gene composite score (P ¼ 0.0002; Figure 4b). The 13-gene score increased in every pair of lowest...
VTE (OR = 1.227). The OR for non-O blood type decreased with age in subgroup analysis. These results suggest a weak but statistically significant correlation between non-O blood type and risk of VTE in Han Chinese people. Introduction Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which encompasses both d...

There was a positive correlation between whole blood viscosity and Hct, Hb, packed-cell volume, and RBC count at both low and high shear, and the strength of correlation was similar in those with or without iron deficiency (Fig. 2).In contrast, MCV was unrelated to whole blood viscosity ...
Publication bias was assessed by Egger’s regression and Begg’s rank correlation. The Begg’s funnel plots were generated, of which asymmetry was equated with the existence of potential publication bias. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the influence of individual studies on the ...
Impaired type I interferon activity and inflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients. Science. 2020;369(6504):718–24. Chen G, Wu D, Guo W, Cao Y, Huang D, Wang H, et al. Clinical and immunological features of severe and moderate coronavirus disease 2019. J Clin Invest. 2020;...
To better understand DNA methylation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from both mechanistic and biomarker perspectives, we performed an epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in two large independent blood-based studies in AD, the ADNI and AIB
Many published whole blood disease-specific signatures are dominated by IFN-inducible signatures and those attributable to innate immune responses, as broadly described in both experimental models and human diseases9,10,11,12,15,19. Although mainly dominated by a type I IFN transcriptional signature,...
