abstract the association between abo blood groups and helicobacter pylori seroprevalence is still controversial. we aimed to study the association between abo/rh antigens and igg seropositivity in an iranian adult population for the first time. blood samples of 300 healthy young adults aging 18-30 years were collected for h. pylori antibody detection and abo/rhesus blood group antigen typing. 5...

associations of some hematological and lymphatic diseases with sex and abo and rh blood groups were studied in 2579 patients, compared with a control group of 126332 individuals, by the use of clinical as well as laboratory findings, in tehran. highly significant increase of male/female ratio is shown in acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, aplas...

recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-epo) is known to accelerate erythropoiesis in preterm infants. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of early treatment with two doses of rh-epo (high vs. low dose) in the management of anemia of prematurity. twenty preterm infants with hematocrit (hct) < 30% when infant’s age was between 2 to 3 weeks after birth or hct <25% when infant’...

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated higher frequencies of the O blood group and the nonsecretor phenotype of ABH antigens among patients suffering from peptic ulcers. Since Helicobacter pylori has been established as the main etiological factor in this disease, controversies about the associations of the ABO and Lewis blood group phenotypes and secretor and nonsecretor phenotypes in relat...

BACKGROUND Resistant hypertension (RH) is a common clinical condition associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in older patients. Several factors and conditions interfering with blood pressure (BP) control, such as excess sodium intake, obesity, diabetes, older age, kidney disease, and certain identifiable causes of hypertension are common in patients resistant to antihy...

Aim: Many factors affect the diagnostic value of fine-needle aspiration biopsy applied for these thyroid nodules. I aimed to investigate whether one would be ABO blood groups and Rh factor examine relationship with Bethesda categorization. Additionally, evaluate in patients cancer.&#x0D; Material Method: This study was planned a cross-sectional retrospective design. The data were obtained from ...

Background: Transfusion is the mainstay treatment of patients with thalassemia major and occasionally in thalassemia intermediate. Alloimmunization is an unwanted side effect of blood transfusion. The present study intended to determine the frequency of alloimmunization in patients with β- thalassemia major and thalassemia intermediate in Southwest Iran. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-...

Billingham et al.' reported that mice and chickens injected as embryos with cells from other strains acquired a persistent tolerance to later skin grafts from the donor strains. It seemed possible to us that a similar, but naturally acquired, tolerance might be in part responsible for the variation in response of Rh-negative persons exposed to the Rh antigens.2 The hypothesis to be tested was t...
