Such conflicting results may in part be explained by the heterogeneity of subjects and methodology. Viscosity of whole blood varies according to shear rate (Fig. 1).Moreover, iron deficiency per se can also cause hyperviscosity-like symptoms such as headache, paresthesias, irritability, and ...
Blood volume is increased substantially during pregnancy and results in a diluted hemoglobin concentration in women (12,18). Furthermore, in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, daily iron requirements increase (23,24), which, in turn, can contribute to the risk of anemia. The ...
However, this was not the case in the present population, because all the cord blood hsCRP results of the newborns were low. One further limitation of this study is that the population contained only a few (n ϭ 9) iron-deficient newborns according to the definition of iron deficiency as...
intramuscular, and intravenous routes as also blood transfusion15. Oral iron therapy, considered effective in cases of mild and moderate anaemia, has always been the first choice in the past years due to its easy availability, safety, and low cost. However, there is evidence that oral ...
Serum ferritinandtransferrin saturationare blood tests that can detect iron overload, even before symptoms appear (Heli 2011; Fleming 2012; Muñoz 2011). Serum ferritin.This test measures the iron storage protein ferritin in the blood serum. While typically an intracellular storage protein, blood ...
Blood samples were taken before IV iron administration and 4–6 weeks after treatment, according to local clinical practice. Patient data were used to estimate iron need using the simplified table and the Ganzoni formula (iron need = patient weight x [target Hb – current Hb] × 0...
Regardless of whether or not the narrator is self-reflexive of the narrating "I," readers are drawn to autobiographies because the narrating "I" gives the impression that one is reading and interaction with real, flesh and blood narrators from various walks of life. Marshall and Mayhead ...
At one point, the political was personal, based on ties of blood and fealty. Today non-local politics is impersonal, based on ideology and parties. Abstract loyalty has become so commonplace, that it is hard to comprehend a political order without it, but is it necessarily good for man?
Nevertheless, there remains the risk of transmitting unknown or emerging pathogens before the development and implementation of effective tests (Table 3) and an increased risk of infections due to transfusion-related immunosuppression [109]. Furthermore, stored allogeneic blood can elicit prothrombotic as...
These cells predominantly acquire iron through phagocytosis of senescent red blood cells. However, these cells express DMT1, TfR1, hemoglobin scavenger receptor (CD163), and natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1. These proteins are involved in iron uptake and transport,19 and may ...
