Comparison of Haemoglobin Concentrations From Venous and From Finger‐Pricked Capillary Blood in a Region With a High Prevalence of Anaemia in Ethiopia

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This cross‐sectional study was conducted in the Somali Regional State in Ethiopia. The purpose of the study was to compare haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations from venous and finger‐pricked capillary blood using the HemoCue 301 as well as estimating anaemia prevalence. Participants were non‐pregnant women of reproductive age (WRA), 18–49 years old

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Longitudinal metabolomics study of phosphate‐adenine‐guanosine‐glucose‐saline‐mannitol stored red blood cells

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The storage of red blood cells (RBCs) is essential for transfusion but leads to storage lesions that compromise RBC quality and increase the risk of transfusion‐related adverse effects, including allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs). Understanding storage‐induced metabolic change is crucial for enhancing transfusion safety.

In vitro quality assessment of red blood cells and plasma units in DEHT/SAGM bags and DEHT/PAGGSM bags during storage

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives DEHT is considered a safer alternative to DEHP, a commonly used plasticizer with potential toxicological risks. We aimed to compare the storage efficacy of red blood cells (RBCs) in DEHT bags containing two different additive solutions: SAGM and PAGGSM.

Test–retest reliability of Doppler ultrasound‐based leg blood flow assessments during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess leg blood flow (Q̇leg${{\dot{Q}}_{{\mathrm{leg}}}}$), but the reliability of this method remains unexplored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where between‐subject variability may be larger than healthy due to peripheral vascular changes.

Differential intestinal injury and unchanged systemic inflammatory responses to leg and whole‐body passive hyperthermia in healthy humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperthermia can cause intestinal injury, facilitating endotoxin translocation and an inflammatory response that has been associated with heat illness. However, the potential occurrence of these responses has been incompletely reported during passive hyperthermia, and the independent effect of hyperthermia is equivocal.

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Evaluation of point-of-care tests for detecting microalbuminuria in diabetic patients

South African Family Practice, 2011
Background: Microalbuminuria, the presence of low levels of albumin in the urine, indicates renal damage and is recognised as a risk factor for the progression of renal and cardiovascular disease.

Sex and performance‐level differences in aerobic and haematological parameters among elite ski mountaineering athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ski mountaineering (SkiMo) is a new Olympic sport with extreme endurance demands and altitude exposure. Previous studies have focused on traditional cardiorespiratory variables, such as maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{max}}}}$) or ventilatory thresholds, but, to our knowledge, did not report ...

Elevational variation in heart mass and suppression of hypoxia‐induced right ventricle hypertrophy in Andean leaf‐eared mice (Phyllotis)

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In lowland mammals that ascend to high elevation, hypoxia‐induced changes in the pulmonary circulation can give rise to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) and associated right‐ventricle (RV) hypertrophy. Andean mice with broad elevational ranges have greater heart mass relative to body size at higher elevations, but they ...
