In recent years, a new gluten- or wheat-related disease has emerged, a condition labelled "non-celiac gluten sensitivity" (NCGS) or "non-celiac wheat sensitivity" (NCWS). This is very often a self-reported condition, since patients refer to intestinal [mainly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like]
Anemia and transfusion are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in the cardiac surgical patient population. Even so, active preoperative anemia management is not currently the standard of care at our institution. Cost associated with erythrocyte transfusions at University of Texas
Aplastic anemia is characterized by trilineage hematopoietic failure with an apparently empty bone marrow. While the precise mechanism of disease has yet to be elucidated, much evidence indicates an immunologically mediated pathophysiology. Clinical trials have shown that approximately 75-80% of
Cyclosporine (CsA) is widely used in the treatment of aplastic anemia as well as to provide immunosuppression after transplantation. CsA has a spectrum of neurologic and more subtle, poorly investigated neuropsychological functional effects. In the NHLBI, a unique opportunity exists to evaluate
SCD is an inherited blood disorder. Symptoms include anemia, infections, organ damage, and intense episodes of pain that are called "sickle cell crises." SCD is caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin, which is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. In people with SCD, the abnormal
The aim of this study is to check whether treatment with drug which inhibits the hydrogen pump and therefore decreases acidity, will reduce the iron's absorption in patients with CDA TYPE I and whether it will be possible to use it for a period instead of giving drugs which have much more adverse
As no curative treatment is currently available for ulcerative colitis (UC), treatment options are restricted to controlling symptoms, maintaining remission and preventing relapse. As such, treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), a key symptom of the disease, is integral to the medical
As no curative treatment is currently available for Crohn's Disease (CD), treatment options are restricted to controlling symptoms, maintaining remission and preventing relapse. As such, treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), a key symptom of the disease, is integral to the medical management
Rationale Iron deficiency is the most common form of malnutrition globally. In India, nearly 70% of women are estimated to be iron deficient. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA, Hb <12gm/dl) is a very late manifestation of iron deficiency. IDA is a consequence of decreased iron intake, increased iron loss
Vitamin D deficiency is a widespread public health problem among immigrants from non-Western countries in Norway. As a background for preventive strategies it is important to have best possible knowledge about health consequences of poor vitamin D status, and in this respect much is lacking.

Post-Dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a well-known common devastating complication of subarachnoid block. Despite the decreasing incidences of PDPH over the last years due to the advancement in the design and smaller size of spinal needles, PDPH remains to be a common complication in post-partum
SCD is an inherited blood disorder. Symptoms include anemia, infections, organ damage, and intense episodes of pain, which are called "sickle cell crises." The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers (CSCC) is a network of 10 centers that conduct research to improve health care and treatment options for
Ribavirin (RBV) is a synthetic guanosine analogue that is used to treat patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). For many years, RBV has been the cornerstone of the HCV treatment in combination with peg interferon (PEG-IFN). Since the development of direct-acting antivirals (DAA), PEG-IFN
