Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Full effects of land use change in the representative concentration pathways

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
Future land use change (LUC) is an important component of the IPCC representative concentration pathways (RCPs), but in these scenarios’ radiative forcing targets the climate impact of LUC only includes greenhouse gases.

Flaxseed-enriched diets change milk concentration of the antimicrobial danofloxacin in sheep

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Flaxseed is the most common and rich dietary source of lignans and is an acceptable supply of energy for livestock. Flaxseed lignans are precursors of enterolignans, mainly enterolactone and enterodiol, produced by the rumen and intestinal ...

Changes in Ochratoxin A Concentration during Winemaking

American Journal of Enology and Viticulture, 2007
The effects of common winemaking procedures on ochratoxin A (OTA) concentrations in the Portuguese wine Vinho Verde were studied. Natural contamination of grapes was not observed, so grapes for vinification were inoculated with Aspergillus carbonarius. Ochratoxin A concentration in these grapes ranged from 0.43 to 7.48 μg/kg.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Assessing the Nonlinear Relationship between Land Cover Change and PM₁₀ Concentration Change in China

Land
Inhalable particulate matter (PM10) is a major air pollutant that has significant impacts on environmental climate and human health. Land-cover change is also a key factor influencing changes in atmospheric pollution. Changes in land-cover types can lead

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
