Key hemorheological variables are associated with several life-threatening diseases including cardio-cerebro-vascular diseases. A diet can influence the blood rheological variables. To compare the effectiveness of a vegetable soup on blood viscosity (BV), hematocrit (Hct), plasma
Serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides were studied in 202 patients affected by various hematological malignancies at the time of diagnosis. A hypocholesterolemia was found in 44% of patients affected by lymphoproliferative diseases and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with an evident

BACKGROUND
Numerous testosterone (T) formulations are available, each with differing effects on serum parameters.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare the long-term effects of topical, injectable, and implantable pellet T formulations in hypogonadal men.
METHODS
Retrospective review of
There has been much interest in the effect of sex hormones on cardiovascular risk factors and as a therapeutic modality in both men and women. In this article, testosterone is considered as a possible therapy for cardiovascular disease. It has been shown that the level of serum testosterone
Patients with the myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), myeloid metaplasia and polycythemia vera, have significantly reduced concentrations of plasma low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoprotein cholesterol (C). We have previously demonstrated that increased catabolism of LDL was associated
BACKGROUND
The aim was to study risk-factors for vascular thrombosis and incidence of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in splenectomized children with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) at a single center.
METHODS
Pre- and post-splenectomy hemoglobin and platelet counts were recorded. Post-splenectomy
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is a hemolytic agent which has been used in the treatment of polycythemia vera. Recent studies performed in our laboratory have indicated that the PHZ-induced anemia is immuno-hemolytic in etiology, and a prolonged bleeding time was present in some of the rats chronically
In veterinary medicine, PCV determined by centrifugation of blood in a microhematocrit tube is the most common clinical test used to initially assess and monitor anemic and polycythemic animals. In contrast, blood hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, rather than PCV, is generally determined in human
Although erythroid abnormalities (anemia and polycythemia) are commonly observed pathological conditions, not much information about borderline abnormalities is available. In this study, a cross-sectional study to analyze the relationships between erythropoiesis and nutrition, physical features, and
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a polypeptide hormone produced by the kidney that regulates erythropoiesis by controlling the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitors in bone marrow. Assays for EPO are used to monitor dosage and response to human recombinant erythropoietin also may have
Associations between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and cardiometabolic outcomes have not been examined in highlanders.We performed nocturnal polygraphy in Peruvian highlanders (3825 m). Multivariable linear regression models examined associations between SDB metrics and haemoglobin, glucose
