Results Viscosity did not differ between patients with iron deficiency (n = 14) and those without (n = 25). Whole blood viscosity correlated with Hct (r = 0.63, p < 0.001 at low shear and r = 0.84, p < 0.001 at high shear) but not with red blood cell size or iron indices. Hype...
Limited studies on these have been carried out on people living at the borders of Thailand, Lao PDR, and Cambodia. This cross-sectional study was done in four areas along the borders of Thailand, Lao PDR, and Cambodia. Blood specimens were collected from subjects aged 15–18 years in four...
Future studies should also focus on the pharmacokinetic aspects of the (pro)chelators, including metabolization, excretion, eventual accumulation in tissues and, most importantly, their ability to cross the blood–brain barrier, which is an important property of all compounds intended for the ...

Similar results were obtained for the oilfield water samples wherein MP (12.6 ± 2.1 ng/µl for oilfield water 1, 30.2 ± 1.4 ng/µl for oilfield water 2) yielded significantly (p-value < 0.001) higher concentration of DNA than PS kit (2.7 ± 1.8 ng/µl ...
Iron deficiencies are the most common nonenteric syndromes observed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but little is known about their impacts on immune tolerance. Here we show that homeostasis of regulatory T cells in the intestine was depende
