Randomized prospective comparison between erythropoietin and androgens in CAP…
Anemia and malnutrition are significant com- served with rHuEPO. Furthermore, compared with rHuEPO, complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Previous studies androgen administration was associated with beneficial effects in hemodialysis have shown that androgens are effective as on nutritional status. The mechanism of action of androgens therapy for anemia; however, this has not be…

International trends in erythropoietin use and hemoglobin levels in hemodialy…
Hemoglobin levels and the dose of erythropoiesisstimulating agents (ESAs) have risen over time in hemodialysis patients within the United States. There are concerns that these trends may be driven by reimbursement policies that provide potential incentives to increase this use. To determine this we studied trends in the use of ESA and hemoglobin levels in hemodialysis patients and the relations…

Hemoglobin, erythropoietin and systemic inflammation in exacerbations of chro…
In this observational study we have shown that during admission for ECOPD Hb levels are decreased and EPO levels are increased. We have also identified a negative association between Hb and EPO. The above association is mainly related to increased IL-6 levels, indicating a possible EPO resistance through the mechanism of increased systemic inflammatory process.

Hemoglobin Levels and Erythropoietin Doses in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dia…
Erythropoietic agents, a cornerstone of management, are a major component of the cost of renal replacement therapy. The objectives of this study were to compare (on a month-by-month basis) U.S. hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients in terms of the proportion of patients receiving erythropoietin, erythropoietin doses, and hemoglobin levels after initiation of erythropoietin.

Pre-Eclampsia Increases the Risk of Postpartum Haemorrhage A Nationwide Cohor…
Postpartum haemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identifying risk indicators for postpartum haemorrhage is crucial to predict this life threatening condition. Another major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality is pre-eclampsia. Previous studies show conflicting results in the association between preeclampsia and postpartum haemorrhage. The p…

Toxoplasmosis and pregnancy
Low prevalence of the infection, high cost associated with testing, low sensitivity of screening tests, falsepositive test results, and limitations of treatment effectiveness are all cited as reasons for not routinely screening for T gondii infection in Canada. Currently, screening for the detection of T gondii is only performed in Nunavik and other parts of northern Quebec owing to the high…

Tailoring Natural Killer cell immunotherapy to the tumour microenvironment
Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic and cytokine-secreting cells that can mediate potent anti-tumour activity. Accumulating evidence indicates that NK cell functions are severely compromised within the confines of the tumour microenvironment thus impairing the efficacy and development of NK cell-based therapies. Here we review the various cellular and molecular pathways that tumours have…

Uterine natural killer cells are the major leukocytes present in the periimplantation endometrium. Previous studies have found controversial differences in uterine natural killer cell percentage in women with recurrent reproductive failure compared with fertile controls.

The Role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Polymorphism in Congestive Heart Fa…
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc metallopeptidase, with primary known functions of converting angiotensin I into the vasoactive and aldosterone-stimulating peptide angiotensin II and inactivating bradykinin. There is high variability among individuals in ACE concentrations, mainly due to the presence of a genetic polymorphism. The ACE gene has, in fact, insertion/ deletion polym…

An Analysis of Risk Factors for Incomplete Immunization for Children in Côte…
Immunization is said to be the most effective public health intervention to prevent morbidity, complications, and mortality due to infectious disease among children. Due to the importance of vaccination in terms of infectious disease prevention, in terms of high cost-effectiveness ratio, international organizations, governments, and donors have intensified efforts to increase immunization cove…
