BACKGROUND
The association between obesity and different types of anemia remained uncertain. The present study aimed to assess the relation between obesity parameters and the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia and also megaloblastic anemia among Iranian population.
METHODS
This cross-sectional
Anemia of inflammation (AI) also known as anemia of chronic disease (ACD) is regarded as the most frequent anemia in hospitalized and chronically ill patients. It is prevalent in patients with diseases that cause prolonged immune activation including infection, auto-immune diseases and cancer. More
OBJECTIVE
To elucidate the relationship between anemia and raised intracranial pressure (ICP).
METHODS
Interventional case series.
METHODS
Retrospective case series and review of the literature. Only patients with documented papilledema, neuroimaging ruling out a space-occupying lesion, and anemia
The non-obese diabetic mouse (NOD mouse) is widely used as a model of organ-specific autoimmunity because it develops specific autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells mediated by T cells and culminating in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Here, we report that the NOD mouse also develops
A megaloblastic anemia occurred in a middle-aged woman 6 years after a gastric bypass performed for obesity. Marked deficiencies of both vitamin B12 and folic acid were demonstrated. The Schilling test revealed that the vitamin B12 deficiency was due primarily to inadequate intrinsic factor. Vitamin
Anemia is a pathologic condition produced by a decrease in red blood cell mass or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin. Anemia is a common occurrence in the United States. Children from some ethnic groups have a higher incidence of anemia, but anemia also can affect overweight children and
INTRODUCTION: Developing countries in Latin America (LA) are experiencing rapid aging as a result of advances in medical interventions. This rapid aging has not occurred with comparable improvements in standards of living. Chronic conditions are becoming highly prevalent while exposure to infectious
The anemia of chronic disease is an old disease concept, but contemporary research in the role of proinflammatory cytokines and iron biology has shed new light on the pathophysiology of the condition. Recent epidemiologic studies have connected the anemia of chronic disease with critical illness,
Impaired iron homeostasis and the suppressive effects of proinflammatory cytokines on erythropoiesis, together with alterations of the erythrocyte membrane that impair its survival, cause anemia of inflammation. Recent epidemiologic studies have connected inflammatory anemia with critical illness,
We assessed the effect of anemia on cardiovascular findings in obese adolescents.
We studied 29 anemic and 33 nonanemic obese adolescents, and 33 nonobese healthy adolescents. These three groups were investigated for clinical and laboratory features of anemia and obesity. Echocardiography was used
Children with sickle cell anemia are vulnerable to growth deficits; thus, it would be thought that obesity would be rare among them. The objective of the study is to examine the prevalence of obesity in a sickle cell anemia population in Lagos. A random sample of children with sickle cell anemia
The aim of this study was to analyze the growing prevalence of anemia and overweight/obesity as contrasting trends in Brazil's nutritional transition. Twenty-eight studies published on anemia in children and childbearing-age women were selected, based on statistical representativeness,
Morbid obesity is a significant problem in the Western world. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of patients undergoing surgical weight loss procedures. Currently, the most widely performed procedure is the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operation which combines restriction of food intake
BACKGROUND
Few studies examined the risk factors of asymptomatic bacteriuria, showing contradictory results. Our study aimed to examine the association between different clinical and laboratory parameters and asymptomatic bacteriuria in internal medicine patients.
METHODS
330 consecutive
