Iron deficiency anaemia in young males: do gastrointestinal symptoms and haemoglobin level affect diagnostic yield?HumansGastrointestinal DiseasesAnemia, Iron-DeficiencyMaleWe read with great interest the article by Carter et al. [ 1 ] on prevalence and predictive factors for gastrointestinal pathology in...
The patient had a 67 g/L of haemoglobin level on the fifth day of admission; therefore, blood transfusion was performed. In search of the cause of his anaemia, we performed examinations to exclude extrarenal bleeding. Several stool samples were tested for blood, which were mostly negative...
There was acorrelation between LUTS symptoms change and level of inflammation- andoxidative stress-related indices (blood high-sensitive C-reactive protein,hsCRP; glycated haemoglobin, HbA1c;oxidized low density lipoprotein, oxLDL; interleukine-10, IL-10 and8-isoprostanes in the urine). ...
The primary outcome measure will be the level of depression as assessed by the CES-D. The secondary outcome measures will be: diabetes-specific emotional distress, glycaemic control, self-management behaviour and the participants’ satisfaction with the intervention. Online self-assessments will be ...

We will extract data from clinical records (GP, CCRP) relating to known cardiac risk fac- tors (body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, glycosyl- ated haemoglobin (HbA1c), lipids, smoking status) as recorded at the participant's latest clinical assessment prior to recruitment. Baseline and...
Fasting glucose, fasting insulin and glycated haemoglobin were measured in plasma, serum and whole blood samples respectively. Waist circumference, measured in triplicate at the midpoint between the lower rib and the iliac crest, and hip circumference, measured in triplicate at the point yielding the...
