A Risk Warning Model for Anemia Based on Facial Visible Light Reflectance Spectroscopy: Cross-Sectional Study

A Risk Warning Model for Anemia Based on Facial Visible Light Reflectance Spectroscopy: Cross-Sectional Study

Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in red blood cell count or hemoglobin concentration below a certain threshold, thereby reducing the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity throughout the body. It serves as an indicator of poor nutritional and health status [1]. A study conducted from 1990 to 2019 reported that more than 1.7 billion people worldwide were anemic [2].

Biochemical Changes in Adult Male Gamers During Prolonged Gaming: Pilot Study

Biochemical Changes in Adult Male Gamers During Prolonged Gaming: Pilot Study

A total of 8 parameters were analyzed twice between the 3 machines (calcium [Ca], glucose, lactate, potassium [K], sodium [Na], bilirubin, creatinine, and hemoglobin [Hb]). All the tests were performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions in a nationally accredited biochemistry laboratory (Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Aalborg University Hospital).

Evaluation of a Digital Decision Support System to Integrate Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis Care: Case-Vignette Study in Simulated Environments

Evaluation of a Digital Decision Support System to Integrate Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis Care: Case-Vignette Study in Simulated Environments

GDPs are also encouraged to ask for glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) values from patients with known diabetes and take these values into account when planning periodontal treatment. A more technical description of the software development is out of the scope of this (proof-of-concept) study and will be published separately.

Use of a Smartphone-Based Medication Adherence Platform to Improve Outcomes in Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Among Veterans: Prospective Case-Crossover Study

Use of a Smartphone-Based Medication Adherence Platform to Improve Outcomes in Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Among Veterans: Prospective Case-Crossover Study

Participants had a hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) lab draw and MPR assessment at enrollment, 3 months, and 6 months. In addition to structured lab draws and MPR assessments, participants had the MAS and “Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale” (SEAMS) questionnaires completed at baseline and monthly for the 6-month study duration. For additional information on trial design, medication adherence scoring measures, participant recruitment, and sample size determinations, see Multimedia Appendix 1.

Differences in Brain Activity and Body Movements Between Virtual Reality and Offline Exercise: Randomized Crossover Trial

Differences in Brain Activity and Body Movements Between Virtual Reality and Offline Exercise: Randomized Crossover Trial

Between the VR and offline situations, the difference in the change in accumulated oxygenated hemoglobin (Δacc Hb O2) from baseline and exercise was compared using repeated measures ANOVA. The statistical significance was set at P=.006 (.05/8, 8 brain regions). Correlations between the differences in acc Hb O2 within the right OFC, total angles, and total movement lengths were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was set at P=.03 (.05/2, angle and length).

The Effects of Intravenous Iron Infusion on Preoperative Hemoglobin Concentration in Iron Deficiency Anemia: Retrospective Observational Study

The Effects of Intravenous Iron Infusion on Preoperative Hemoglobin Concentration in Iron Deficiency Anemia: Retrospective Observational Study

We identified that 32% (52/187) of patients were anemic, when defined as a hemoglobin (Hb) level of This preliminary audit in conjunction with the body of evidence of the benefits of correcting anemia prior to surgery led to the development of a local preoperative iron infusion pathway in 2019 for IDA. This was guided by the international consensus statement on the perioperative management of anemia and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines [3,4].

Predicting Current Glycated Hemoglobin Levels in Adults From Electronic Health Records: Validation of Multiple Logistic Regression Algorithm

Predicting Current Glycated Hemoglobin Levels in Adults From Electronic Health Records: Validation of Multiple Logistic Regression Algorithm

Hemoglobin is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body’s cells and, when joined with the glucose within the blood, it forms glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) [5,6]. The International Expert Committee, with members from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, and the International Diabetes Federation [7,8], recommends the use of the glycated hemoglobin test to identify adults with a high risk of diabetes [9].

Road to Hierarchical Diabetes Management at Primary Care (ROADMAP) Study in China: Protocol for the Statistical Analysis of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Road to Hierarchical Diabetes Management at Primary Care (ROADMAP) Study in China: Protocol for the Statistical Analysis of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

It has been reported that among service recipients only 40% have reached the adequate blood glucose control target (glycated hemoglobin [Hb A1c] The ROADMAP study is designed as a community-based, cluster randomized controlled trial, aiming to compare the effectiveness of a hierarchical diabetes management intervention to usual care on blood glucose control.

Possible Risk Factors for Severe Anemia in Hospitalized Sickle Cell Patients at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

Possible Risk Factors for Severe Anemia in Hospitalized Sickle Cell Patients at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

The World Health Organization has defined very severe anemia as hemoglobin (Hb) levels of The major contributors of severe anemia in SCD in Africa are not known. Studies on African children on this topic have reported an association with bacteraemia, malaria, hookworm, HIV, as well as deficiency in vitamins A, B12 and glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase [8-11,12]. Nutritional deficiencies in children with SCD may be due to poor dietary intake and increased requirements [13].
