The present studies examined the relationship between fasting blood glucose and Hb A(1c) in C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and KK/HlJ mice with and without diabetes mellitus. Daily averaged blood glucose levels based on continuous glucose monitoring and effects of 6-h vs. overnight fasting on blood glucose were determined. Daily averaged blood glucose levels were highly correlated with Hb A(1c), as determin...

blood specimens from 22 insulin dependent diabetic patient and 17 nontliabetic subject were collected im edta- tubes. quantitation of hb-al was performed by columne chromatography. the glycosylated hemoglobin component is increased in diabetic patient and found a significant correlation between hb-al concentration and blood glucose levels in all diabetic patients. the mean hb-al valve for diabe...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to clarify the cause of background coloration in the epithelia between each dilated intra papillary capillary loop in esophago-pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. DESIGN This is a single center retrospective study including 124 patients with 160 lesions who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy in Nagasaki University Hospital from September 2007 to March 2012; a deta...

Hemoglobin (Hb) E is one of the world's most common and important mutations. It results in a heterogeneous group of disorders whose phenotype range from asymptomatic to severe. Hb E trait and Hb EE are mild disorders. The combination of Hb E and Hb S (Hb SE) results in a sickle cell disease syndrome similar to sickle beta(+) thalassemia. It is important to distinguish Hb E disorders diagnostica...

Embryonic zand e-globin subunits assemble with each other and with adult aand b-globin subunits into hemoglobin heterotetramers in both primitive and definitive erythrocytes. The properties of these hemoglobins—Hbs Gower-1 (z2e2), Gower-2 (a2e2), and Portland-2 (z2b2)— have been incompletely described as they are difficult to obtain in quantity from either primary human tissue or conventional e...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder in which emoglobin S (Hb S) predominates in red blood cells. It is onsidered a significant public health issue in Brazil.1–3 Sickle cell anemia (SCA, Hb SS) is the most common subype of SCD in the world. Although its clinical course is ariable, patients with SCA generally have the most severe henotype. SCD also includes the heterozygous combinatio...

We report a case of hemoglobin (Hb) Willamette (β51 Pro → Arg) in the Hematology Department of a tertiary hospital in Fortaleza, Northeast of Brazil. A literature review of the cases described in health sciences databases using as a descriptor Hb Willamette was performed, revealing 12 reported cases, of which only one presented with anemia. Herein, we describe a case of a female 29 years old, w...

Hemoglobin (Hb) is an important component of red blood cells. This paper presents an optical non-contact technique that provides Hb concentration measurement. The absorption coefficient of blood differs at different wavelength this fact is used to calculate the optical characteristics of blood. In this newly developed system, absorption of light by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin is meas...

Assess the state of public green areas, their importance and influence on environmental quality and living in urban centers is an arduous task considering the conceptual and scientific regarding quantification and data analysis methods divergence. In this study, we aimed to determine two indicators of public green areas relative to the percentage of public green areas (PPGA) and the public gree...
