pregnancy/labor, intoxications, convulsions, or severe emotional or physical stress. Allergies (especially severe ones) and other inflammatory conditions can cause a high white blood cell count. This includes rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is another example of an immune disorder in ...
In addition to single immune biomarkers, we computed the INFLA-score as an aggregated measure of low-grade inflammation. The INFLA-score, which contains CRP, WBC, platelet count, and the NLR, has been reported to be associated with diet and mental health in previous prospective studies (Bonac...
Platelets are bone marrow cells released into the blood. When they stick together, they form blood clots that help stop the bleeding when you have a cut or wound. A low white blood cell count, leukopenia, means disease-fighting cells have decreased circulating in your blood. Low white blood ...
We first constructed a tumor-specific methylation atlas (TSMA) using WGBS data from five types of tumor tissues (breast, colorectal, gastric, liver and lung cancer) and paired white blood cells (WBC). We then validated the use of TSMA in deconvolution of tumor tissue samples and cfDNA ...
Population-based longitudinal studies have shown that elevated concentrations of inflammatory markers during pregnancy or in childhood are associated with higher risk of developing symptoms of depression, psychosis and mania subsequently in adulthood (Canetta et al., 2014; Dalman et al., 2008; Hayes ...
After adjusting for age, parity, body mass index, number of SP doses received and malaria season at delivery, such risk remained significantly higher for women infected in the first trimester of pregnancy (adjusted IRR = 2.07, p = 0.002) (Table 3). Also, women infected in first trimester ...
in irregular folic acid intake group10. Maternal anemia is known to be related to folic acid supplementation, which will cause fetal hypoxia and intrauterine fetal distress11. Maternal anemia during pregnancy is an independent risk factor for low birthweight and preterm delivery. We are the first ...
8. Pregnancy-induced. Reduced platelets in pregnancy can be due to medical conditions such as connective tissue disorders, viral infections, and hypersplenism. But the most notable of disorders is HELLP syndrome. This can result from the increase in blood pressure which is directly influenced by ...
Fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) are poorly absorbed, short-chain carbohydrates that play an important role in inducing functional gut symptoms. A low-FODMAP diet improves abdominal symptoms in patients
