Usually, blood test results show elevated white blood cell count if you are fighting an infection or have an inflammatory condition. Pregnancy can also cause a high or slightly elevated white blood cell count. However, other factors like stress, smoking, or allergies can elevate your white blood...

Children with a white blood cell count above 10×109 cells/L or a C-Reactive Protein level greater than 6 mg/L were excluded from the analysis, due to concerns about the effects of infection and/or inflammation on some iron measurements [47–50]. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was defined...
Complete blood counts revealed hemoglobin 109 g/L, mean corpuscular volume 82.4 fL, white blood cell count 8.1 × 109/L, normal differential counts, and platelets 187 × 109/L. Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and bleeding time were within normal range. The urine analysis...
Participants were monitored in a clinical research unit for 24 hours following dose administration, during which vital signs, an abbreviated physical examination, blood and urine samples, and serial electrocardiograms were obtained. Clinical research unit staff also assessed participants for treatment-...
[31], and this has been shown in human CM as well [32]. Variations in plasma/CSF IP10 balance also reflect differences in circulating versus infiltrating immune cells, potentially influenced by abnormal white blood cell (WBC) counts observed more frequently in the CSF of non-CM patients (...
Consuming high quantities of non-natural foods was associated with elevated DBP in adolescent girls, which was in part due to high fructose levels in these foods categories. The consumption of natural foods containing fructose, such as whole fruits, does not impact blood pressure and should continu...
Hyponatremia is associated with adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients. An elevated value of the serum urea-to-creatinine ratio (UCR) has been proposed as a proxy of hypovolemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the UC

Standard urine culture (SUC), was performed as previously described [32]. Briefly, urine was vortexed, and samples of 1µL each were spread onto blood agar and colistin and nalidixic acid agar/MacConkey agar (CNA/MAC) plates, respectively, using a sterile plastic loop. All plates were incu...
