Is Aquatic Life Correlated with an Increased Hematocrit in Snakes?
BACKGROUND Physiological adaptations that allow air-breathing vertebrates to remain underwater for long periods mainly involve modifications of the respiratory system, essentially through increased oxygen reserves. Physiological constraints on dive duration tend to be less critical for ectotherms than for endotherms because the former have lower mass-specific metabolic rates. Moreover, comparat...
متن کاملSepticemia in patients with ESRD is associated with decreased hematocrit and increased use of erythropoietin.
Septicemia, a common complication in chronic dialysis patients, may be an important factor in erythropoietin (EPO) hyporesponsiveness, because it is a form of inflammation. The quantitative impact of septicemia on EPO requirements has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to analyze patterns of EPO use and levels of anemia among patients who had ESRD and were hospitalized with septice...
متن کاملOxidized LDL is Correlated with Urine Albumin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case-Control Study
Objective: In patients with diabetes mellitus, increased rate of lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative stress have important role in diabetic angiopathy, including nephropathy. We designed a study for comparing the level of Ox-LDL in diabetic patients with Macro-albuminuria, Micro-albuminuria, versus Normo-albuminuric. Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty five patients with type 2 dia...
متن کاملIs labral hypotrophy correlated with increased acetabular depth?
Labral hypertrophy is a distinct feature in hip dysplasia. Occasionally, very small, hypotrophic labra are observed. However, there is no literature concerning this pathology. We investigated if the size of the labrum correlated with any radiologic parameters reflecting the amount of acetabular coverage. It was hypothezised that there is a negative correlation between labrum size and acetabular...
