In addition, experimentally induced sterile inflammation in cats resulted in shortened erythrocyte survival, indicating that anemia of inflammation is likely also a function of increased erythrocyte destruction. Other causes of decreased erythropoiesis are listed in Table 13-2. Specific examples of diseases...
Figure 1. The graph shows the components of blood pressure throughout the blood vessels, including systolic, diastolic, mean arterial, and pulse pressures. Pulse Pressure As shown in Figure 1, the difference between the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure is the pulse pressure. For exampl...

The protective functions of HDL would be overwhelmed through inflammation and other factors, such as myeloperoxidase-mediated oxidation, and the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of HDL could become ineffective [39,40,41]. Consequently, oxidation products, such as peroxidation lipids, gradually...
Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2/SaO2), a crucial indicator of the respiratory cycle, refers to the percentage of the HbO2 oxygen binding capacity in the blood to the total capacity of Hb that can be bound by oxygen. From: Materials Today Bio, 2023 ...
Forgoing tourniquets prioritized limbs over lives. Patients who received components that did not fully substitute whole blood fared worse. Too much saline, which contained no oxygen or blood-clotting elements, actually aggravated bleeding and inflammation in trauma patients. ...

Work with your doctor to figure out a plan that makes sense for you. High Blood Sugar What are the dangers of high blood sugar? Glucose is precious fuel for all the cells in your body when it's present at normal levels. But it can behave like a slow-acting poison. High sugar levels...
Neutrophils account for 55%-70% of all your WBCs. They're the front line of defense when your body's immune system is attacked. They find and destroy bacteria and fungi by consuming them. Your body reacts by inflammation (redness and swelling), but this is all part of the healing proc...
MMP-9 also interacts with chemokines8 and cytokines9,10,11, causing a further cascade of post-ischemic cerebral inflammation that leads to degeneration in brain tissue and exacerbates stroke outcomes. In this study, using a murine transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) stroke model, ...
