folate/hemorrhage

The purpose of this study was to examine whether women with first trimester uterine bleeding and low serum folate have a higher incidence of spontaneous abortions and adverse perinatal outcome compared with women whose folate levels are normal. Serum folate and vitamin B12 levels were obtained on

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that homocysteine and folate levels in plasma are associated with risk for cardiovascular events and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate if plasma concentrations of total homocysteine and folate can predict major bleeding, cardiovascular events,

OBJECTIVE Folate metabolism has been implicated in stroke. However, the possibility of a role for folate and vitamin B12, independent of their effects on homocysteine status, remains to be explored. The aim of this prospective, nested case-referent study was to relate plasma and dietary intake

BACKGROUND Jehovah's Witnesses pose a clinical challenge in the setting of critical anemia. Most do not accept transfusions, but some accept hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers on a compassionate-use basis. PEGylated carboxyhemoglobin bovine (PCHB) is an acellular dual-action carbon monoxide

Previous studies have suggested that the metabolism of methyl groups is an important factor in the function of the exocrine pancreas. Ethionine, an inhibitor of cellular methylation reactions, produces hemorrhagic pancreatitis when administered to mice fed a choline-deficient diet. Glycine

Lawsonia intracellularis is the causative agent of porcine proliferative enteropathy. The clinical presentation can be acute (i.e. proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy, PHE), chronic (i.e. porcine intestinal adenomatosis, PIA) or subclinical. In humans with chronic enteropathies, low serum folate

Vigabatrin (VGB) has several therapeutic advantages over older antiepileptic drugs (AED), but there is a lack of information about its potential reproductive toxicologic effects. Our aim was to evaluate the consequences of VGB administered during late gestation on fetal growth and development in the

Hemorrhage and toxic lesions of hemopoietic tissues inhibit the development of various types of immune response and induce immunosuppressive properties in light erythrocytes, while not influencing the immunological activity of heavy erythrocytes. The immunomodulant action of pyridoxine, folate and

BACKGROUND Homocysteinemia has been established as a risk factor for cardiovascular disorders by the American Heart Association.1 Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) is presently ranked as one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine

The associations of dietary folate, vitamin B(6), vitamin B(12), and methionine intakes with risk of stroke subtypes were examined among 26,556 male Finnish smokers, aged 50-69 years, enrolled in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study. Dietary intake was assessed at baseline by

OBJECTIVE Folate, vitamin B6, and B12 deficiency are related to elevated blood homocysteine level. However, the effects of intakes of these vitamins on risk of stroke are still uncertain. This study examines intakes of folate, vitamin B6, and B12 in relation to risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic
