introduction: glycemia and blood glucose levels are under the effect of hb a1c and therefore they could be considered as a valid index for the follow-up and control of diabetes .there are different and controversial reports on the effects of iron deficiency anemia on hb a1c. effects of ida in non diabetic patients are also unknown. the aim of the study was the comparison of hb a1c levels in hea...

background: iron deficiency anemia (ida) during pregnancy is a common nutritional disorder with adverse effects for the baby, such as premature birth and low birth weight, and the mother, such as cardiovascular symptoms and reduced physical and mental strength. therefore, identifying factors affective on ida will assist the improvement of the health of the mother and fetus. this study aimed to ...

This study compared social looking and response to novelty in preschool-aged children (47–68 mo) with or without iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Iron status of the participants from a low-income community in New Delhi, India, was based on venous hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, and red cell distribution width. Children’s social looking toward adults, affect, and wary or hesitant behavior in r...

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with poor long-term survival. This study assessed methotrexate (MTX) plus idarubicin (IDA) in treating patients of PCNSL comparing to MTX alone therapy. A total of 100 patients were retrospectively enrolled and subjected to MTX alone (n = 52) and MTX plus IDA (n = 48). The completed response (CR) rate in pati...

In order to detect intrusions, IDA (Intrusion Detection Agent system) initially monitors system logs in order to discover an MLSI { which is an certain event which in many cases occurs during an intrusion. If an MLSI is found, then IDA judges whether the MLSI is accompanied by an intrusion. We adopt discriminant analysis to analyze information after IDA detects an MLSI in a remote attack. Discr...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Idarubicin (IDA) is relatively immune to the multidrug resistance P-gp mechanism that is frequently expressed in recurrent and refractory hematologic malignancies. Owing to rapid metabolism in vivo, a continuous infusion (CI) of IDA might prolong exposure time to the parent drug rather than its more P-gp susceptible alcohol metabolite. For this reason we developed a bri...

We describe the application of a stable isotope dilution assay (IDA) to determine precise insulin, C-peptide, and proinsulin levels in blood by extraction from serum and quantitation by mass spectrometry using analogues of each target protein labeled with stable isotopes. Insulin and C-peptide levels were also determined by immunoassay, which gave consistently higher results than by IDA, the re...
