Blood transfusions and human recombinant erythropoietin in premature newborn infants.
Transfusion with concentrated erythrocytes is a common form of treatment in many very premature infants. It is estimated that over 80% of infants requiring intensive care have received at least one blood transfusion as part of their treatment, and 37% more than two.' Frequent blood transfusions expose the infants to multiple donors. One survey reported that infants who were given more than one ...
متن کاملHyporesponsiveness to recombinant human erythropoietin.
The introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-Epo, epoetin) as a treatment for the anaemia of renal failure has transformed the management of this condition. Nevertheless, a significant number of patients fail to respond. There are many different possible causes of inadequate response to epoetin. Iron deficiency, whether absolute or functional, is considered to be the most important,...
متن کاملTesting for recombinant human erythropoietin.
ERYTHROPOIETIN (Epo) may have effects on exercise capacity and physiological regulation beyond a simple increase in red cell mass and the associated improvement in oxygen transport (4). In the context of a larger study on this topic, Lundby and colleagues (11) also asked questions about the reliability of urine testing for recombinant human Epo (rHuEpo). They studied eight healthy male subjects...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of systemic administration of recombinant human erythropoietin in rabbits subjected to subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Cerebral vasospasm and ischemic damage are important causes of mortality and morbidity in patients affected by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recently, i.p. administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-Hu-EPO) has been shown to exert a neuroprotective effect during experimental SAH. The present study was conducted to evaluate further the effect of r-Hu-EPO administration aft...
متن کاملMushrooms as Possible Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Agents
The aim of the study is to examine in-vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the acetonic and methanolic extracts of the mushrooms Boletus aestivalis, Boletus edulis and Leccinum carpini. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using free radical scavenging activity and reducing power. In addition, total content of phenol and flavonoid in extracts were determined as pyrocatechol equivale...
