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

Persistent Hyperglycaemia and Transient Dysglycaemia in Tuberculosis: Evaluating the Bidirectional Interaction With Type‐2 Diabetes Mellitus and Clinical Outcomes

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Poor glycaemic control, indicated by a haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of 7% or higher, increases the risk of active tuberculosis (TB) in patients with diabetes, while active TB can worsen glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, contributing to type‐2 diabetes mellitus (DM) progression.

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.
