Results After multivariate adjustment, serum ascorbic acid level was associated with higher serum vitamin B12 levels among women in regression models that assumed a linear relationship; each 57-µmol/L (1.0-mg/dL) increase in serum ascorbic acid level (range, 6-153 µmol/L [0.1 to 2.7 mg...
laboratory testRationale, aims and objectives The increasing number of diagnostic tests requests all over the world is a problem that can partially be explained by inappropriate testing. Impact on the total costs of health systems becomes relevant when tests are performed in a large amount. In ...
This idea explained why both SVR and non-SVR patients treated with interferon-based therapy had increased 24-week posttherapy ferritin levels. Surprisingly, it took at least 4 years to eliminate interferon- and ribavirin-related biases, as the trend of increased ferritin levels was not reversed ...
Differences between the two groups were monitored by t-test. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences more than the two groups. P < 0.05 was explained as statistically significant. Results BA promoted DDP-induced chemosensitivity of human lung cancer cell ...
For comparisons that involved more than two groups, analysis of variance and the Newman–Keuls test were used for analysis. All results were considered significant at P<0.05. All the experiments were performed at least three times. Study approval All procedures involving mice were performed in ...
The results from the direct EMSA experiments were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a post hoc Bonferroni multiple-comparison test. Differences between groups were considered statistically significant for p values less than 0.05. Statistical analyses were performed with GraphPad Pr...
During the last 10 years we have experienced an increasing number of referrals due to hyperferritinemia. This is probably due to increased awareness of hereditary hemochromatosis, and the availability of a genetic test for this condition. Most of these referred patients were over-weight middle-aged...
Results Socio-demographic characteristics Of a total of 427 followed eligible pregnant women, 412 (96.48%) were included in the final analysis. The retained and excluded participants did not significantly vary by wealth index, maternal age, educational status, nutritional status, iron status, anemia ...
To guide the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy, the haemoglobin concentration is the most used test in spite of its low accuracy, and serum ferritin is the most reliable test, although its cutoff point remains an issue. Methods/design The aim of this protocol is to verify the...
To test the hypothesis, we cultured P. aeruginosa cells in a Coy O2 Control Glove Box, which allows for the regulation of O2 in 0.1% increments. The results from these studies are presented below. Bfr from P. aeruginosa cells cultured under low O2 (10% O2 or 2% O2) was purified to ...
