All patients were subjected to detailed medical history including age, sex, consanguinity, disease duration, and blood transfusion frequency with transfusion index calculation (transfused packed red cell volume, expressed as the mean value for the previous two years, in milliliters per kilogram of bo...
Blood loss was evaluated using a hematocrit鈥恇ased calculation. To evaluate transfusions, a normalized Blood Product Transfusion calculation was developed. Factors associated with blood loss and blood transfusions were determined by univariate analysis and multivariate regression modeling with ...
Major bleeding is clinically overt bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin of ≥2 g/dL, a transfusion of ≥2 units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, or bleeding at a critical site or with a fatal outcome. CVC-VTE = central venous catheter–related venous thromboembolism; ...
More recently, the EUTOS score40 was implemented as a simple calculation using just 2 parameters (spleen size and percentage of blood basophils) to categorize patients as low- or high-risk and predict progression-free survival based on the surrogate marker of early cytogenetic response to imatinib...
Fetal placental blood flows were measured by the antipyrine method and fetal cardiac output was derived from calculation of the distribution of nuclide-labelled microspheres injected into the fore- and hindlimbs, as previously described. Placental vascular resistance was derived from umbilical pressures ...
Cancer and other non-communicable diseases are a growing public health issue now that infectious disease control (e.g., HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis) has made great strides across low- and middle-income countries (L&MIC). The large majority (85%) of children and adolescents with cance...
The sensitivity of the FAST examination for children undergoing operative intervention or blood transfusion for their abdominal injury is 88 % [103]. FAST examination may be incorporated into other aspects of the trauma evaluation to improve the accuracy of the test. One small study found that when...
Gentamicin (gentamicin injection pediatric) Injection may be given intramuscularly or intravenously. The patient's pretreatment body weight should be obtained for calculation of correct dosage. The dosage of aminoglycosides inobesepatients should be based on an estimate of the lean body mass. It is ...
Shannon diversity calculations were performed in Python using the following calculation (Shannon diversity = −Σpiln pi). Analysis of immune reconstitution data, including 2-way ANOVA for flow cytometry and ELISpot results, and logarithmic correlation between CD4 and CD8 clonotype frequencies and...
